Do I know you?
Forgive me for asking, but do I know you from somewhere, possibly tt-forums.net? Many thanks Tom... the magic... TomatoTalk 13:38, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- I was indeed a member at TT-Forums, under the name of MrMann primarily, but I also used Lukeno1 or Lukeno94 on one account there, which I lost. Which member were you? :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:40, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- Ahh, thought so. Myself, 47 407. Forgive my sig! Tom the Tomato Talk Pending namechange to Aycliffe. 13:43, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- I don't particularly remember you, but I haven't been active for a long time there :) It only takes the slightest of British Rail knowledge to work out where that name comes from! Why that particular Class 47? :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:47, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- Something random that I came up with really, more down to the "407" part which is one of the better bus routes near to where I live. Think of it as an amalgamation of the two things I like best: Trains and buses!! Also dates back to the time when Ive been playing with MSTS. Tom the Tomato Talk Pending namechange to Aycliffe. 13:50, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- I've nearly bought MSTS a few times, but I'm too cheap to pay more than a couple of quid, and the eBay auctions often go beyond that :D Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC)
- To be really honest, you aren't really missing out on alot. Railworks is where it's at at the moment, granted I don't even use that too much nowadays. Tom the Tomato Talk Pending namechange to Aycliffe. 15:15, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

- I go through phases of doing different things :) I've been through an article writing phase, through an AfD-only phase, through an ANI-only phase... pretty much most areas. There's quite a few LNER-related locomotives that could have articles written very easily, as there's a prevalent online source with information on most of them - maybe that's something for you to look into :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:25, 15 August 2013 (UTC)

Profanity
Profanity will be a breach of WP:PERSONAL. Are you saying cursing or calling someone a layer is OK? Michael Haephrati (talk) 19:58, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
- Profanity is NOT a breach of WP:NPA automatically. If I called you a fucking arsehole, then it would be. Saying "this article is shit" is not a personal attack. Also, calling someone a "layer" is fine, because it means nothing. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 21:26, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Lukeno94. Thank you for your points about personal attacks and abuse here. I've toned my previous words down a bit and apologized. Keeping in mind these arguments, do you feel that I've still left any inappropriate personal attacks or abuse anywhere? Cheers, —Unforgettableid (talk) 02:48, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
- Firstly, G11 only applies if the article is unrescuable and totally promotional, and is rarely valid for notable companies. It can be used, obviously, for notable companies, but I don't think it's really valid here. However, you cannot dismiss academic sources in the way you have, and even limited-scope sources can have big circulations - although, being unfamiliar with these ones, I can't assess if that is satisfied or not. Finally, thank you for toning down your comments, and I'm not quite sure how this guy, who, even if they are a promotional SPA, appears to be acting in genuinely good faith, has riled you so much.

Minority rights violations in Kosovo
A while ago, in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Persecution of Serbs and other non-Albanians in Kosovo, you said the subject was sourced, but didn't address the issue of improper synthesis. Would you be interested in working on that subject in a less contentious scope? I noticed we don't have a human rights in Kosovo article yet, and a lot of that content sounds like it might fit there. --Joy [shallot] (talk) 10:55, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
- Sorry, but I'm not looking to stick my head in the hornet's nest that article would be, I'm afraid - and my knowledge is also quite limited on this subject. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:32, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Thanks for the thanks
Luke, I have been watching the Premier League's limited coverage on ESPN here in the States over the last few years. Now with the extensive coverage that is being carried on NBC Sports Net on cable and on NBC, I'm very excited about the "league" and European football in general. Love the show "ESPN (Press Pass)," the guys are hilarious. I noticed on your user page that you have an interest in railroads, it reminded me that although I have an interest in it, I have not made a single edit on that subject in over 5000 edits. I have a bunch of old atlases from the heyday of the railroads but they have been misplaced in my house. One from the World War I era I have not seen in twenty years, I believe a friend of my brother may have lifted it from the house. So thinking about railroads makes me think of that atlas and how I wish I had it in my hands at this very moment. Freddiem (talk) 14:30, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
- Although a huge proportion of railway-related articles have been written (a proportion of which is only rivalled by a few WikiProjects) there are still a few left, particularly in the pre-1920s periods. I've written a couple on locomotives myself, and rewritten many others, but it would be great if you could find your atlases and improve the existing articles, or write new ones! I'd be more than happy to lend a hand :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 14:34, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
- If I ever find the atlases I will definitely consider helping out on articles. BTW, which is your favorite Premier League club? Freddiem (talk) 17:22, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- My fave Premier League club? Norwich City, simply because Chris Hughton manages them, and Nathan Redmond plays for them. As the names may indicate, I'm a Birmingham City fan. What about you? :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 17:26, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
- Everton is my number one (Fellaini definitely wanted to leave as evidenced by the last match as he stood three feet from the goal motionless as the ball passed by. They got rid of an obviously unhappy player, they got the money they were looking for from Man U and by the end of the day they obtained some pretty good players added to the club. All in all a good day to close the transfer window. I also like Arsenal, I get a big kick out of Arsene Wenger. Following Arsenal is like following my favourite baseball club the New York Mets. Both never spend any of the huge amounts of money they have and both wind up giving away their best players for next to nothing. The only thing different is that Arsenal finishes much higher in the table than the Mets do, year in and year out.Freddiem (talk) 00:50, 6 September 2013 (UTC)
- At Birmingham, we also know the meaning of "giving away their best players for next to nothing" - it happens regularly. I'm still shocked that no one has pinched Chris Burke. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:58, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

- Even official YouTube channels don't count as reliable sources, I'm afraid. The Springfield Demize source is good, but it states that he is still coaching for them. I'll instate that edit, with the information that he is coaching the Springfield Demize, unless you can provide a Pume FC source, or an Indian media source. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:56, 4 September 2013 (UTC)
Stockport County F.C
I reference that was there needed to be kept as it confirmed ALAN LORD'S head of Development role at the club - the second reference I then put up was the announcement that he was caretaker manager. I had to revert your edit and save before putting the new reference in. The two reference are correct . I have done nothing wrong I'm basically the main person who edits Stockport County's pages as I'm a fan of the team so I know what I putting on the pages and what is necessary part of the articles. wna247 (talk) 16:17, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
- You reverted me, used a source that was already present in the article that directly contradicted the IP's edit, and then had the arrogance to mouth off in the edit summary. And the references still contradict each other. And you need to sign your posts with four tildes. You violated WP:V with your immediate blind revert of me, particularly as what I did was correct in the first place; checked an unsourced edit, found that it appeared to be factually incorrect, and reverted it. It also sounds like you need to read WP:OWN. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:21, 7 September 2013 (UTC)
- Look the article is correct now. The person does have 2 roles at the club and both are referenced. CAN we leave it there? I was just trying to make the article look right, I wasn't trying to mouth off or anything I just wanted it to be correct which it now is. .wna247 (talk) 16:28, 7 September 2013 (UTC)

Informal helpdesk
Hey man, long time no see. I needed someone to function as an informal helpdesk and thought of you. I didn't want to throw this on to a noticeboard immediately, so where do you think would be the best place to put out a general request for feedback on an article I am working on by myself? Don't worry, this isn't a subtle request for you to volunteer your own time, as I might need to know a centralized place for editing assitance requests in the future as well. MezzoMezzo (talk) 10:05, 10 September 2013 (UTC)

- Well, it's about Al-Khalil ibn Ahmad al-Farahidi. I've done a whole lot of work on that during the past month and I noticed that compared to other bios on Wikipedia, the lead is a bit heavy with inline citations. I doubt anyone will challenge the statements there, but it just seemed like a natural place for them (plus, many of those sources are cited again but with other pages further down on the article). WP:LEADCITE doesn't seem to give a clear picture on how much citation is acceptable. I've literally spent hours working on this thing, so I'm hoping that either the lead stays as-is or we just shift the citations down into the body of the artlcle. I would hate for them to simply be deleted after all this work. MezzoMezzo (talk) 09:32, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
- Cites in the lead are fine; having four or five cites for one bit seems excessive, and I doubt that'll be needed. I'd shift the cites elsewhere in the article, if at all possible. You forgot to cite the sentence "In the modern era, the book has been printed by Maktabah Al Hilal, having been reviewed by Dr. Mahdi al Makhzūmi and Dr. Ibrāhim Al Samirā'ì in eight volumes." which I believe does need one. Most of the cites look good, but this is far from my area of expertise (as I'm sure you know!) "In his old age, the son of Habib ibn al-Muhallab and reigning governor of the Muhallabids offered al-Farahidi a pension and requested that the latter tutor the former's son." seems a little clunky, although I couldn't necessarily write it better myself. I'm rather tired at the moment, so I'll probably take another look at it again tomorrow :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:13, 11 September 2013 (UTC)

Sunbeam Tiger info
Luke,
Your sources are incorrect.
Just because it is in print does not make it correct.
Even the following books have some errors, but they have more correct information.
I would suggest you read the following:
TIGER the making of a sports car by Mike Taylor.
Also, The BOOK of NORMAN by Norman Miller.
I can provide information to support my points.
Let me know were you want to start.
Spmdr (talk) 03:58, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
- I think User:Eric Corbett's response summed things up nicely. You have NO idea of how much work went into this being made as accurate as possible, but I do, I saw it happen. Your sources disagree with the majority of the ones we found, and some of the things you changed to utterly inaccurate figures. This article is a "Featured Article", which means it is about as accurate and well-written as they get. Not only did you introduce factual inaccuracies based on YOUR incorrect sources, you also messed up some of the formatting, and you decreased the quality of the prose. I strongly suggest you refrain from reverting again, because that WILL be vandalism. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:43, 13 September 2013 (UTC)
Driver Nationalities
Hi, I noticed you have done some edits at various points on the 2013_British_Touring_Car_Championship_season page.
I have been criticised in the past for using "home nation" flags for drivers and have been told they should be British.
I was wondering why this page is any different and who decides on what is allowed or not.
Not having a pop - I am genuinely asking a question.
Thanks.
- I understand your concern, and I think the reason is because this is a national-level championship, and the British flags would be too generic. That said, it's not a standard procedure for most series, so I suggest you open a thread at WP:MOTORSPORT's talk page, and see what the reason is. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 17:26, 17 September 2013 (UTC)

the report on the ccc homepage + the video was linked. ccc is largest european club in this domain, one of the oldest and most reputed, even organising a yearly congress with more than 4000 persons attending. allow me to rervert your edit for that reason. i'd love from wikipedia author to thoroughly research if something is plausible, cross check how often it is cited, check if they did it before before calling something spam. you might consider to abstain editing contents, if you feel that you have no time to properly translate and understand the reference or find an english source. wikipedia is international and NPOV, which includes bad and good things about a subject. --ThurnerRupert (talk) 18:53, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
- If you add an edit that looks spammy, I will remove it as spam, simple. NPOV means that you don't use the highly biased language that you do. WP:RS means that you don't use YouTube sources, and that you should select third-party sources, which this one wasn't. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:01, 23 September 2013 (UTC)

September 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not remove citations or information sourced through citations simply because a link to a source is on the inaccurately-named spam blacklist. Such links should not be deleted purely for being on the inaccurately-named spam blacklist. Instead, please repair or replace the link, if possible, and ensure properly sourced information is retained. Often, a live substitute link can be found, or the link should be whitelisted. Many sites that aren't spammy are on the list, like examiner.com - which is there because it's typically not considered a reliable source. Links not used as references, notes or citations are not as important, such as those listed in the "External links" or "Further reading" sections, but bad links in those sections should also be fixed if possible. Thank you. Likewise, use your head. The link you removed is to a perfectly valid source that provides multiple mirrors, including http://users.erols.com/rwservices/pens/biblio05.html Elvey (talk) 06:38, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- If you're going to spam a template onto my talk page, then firstly, tell me what you're talking about in the first place, and secondly, actually look at why I removed the link. Cyberbot II tagged the page with a message about the blacklist; it clearly is not a valid link. Blacklisted links should be removed on sight, and claiming that they shouldn't defies the point of the blacklist, and is utterly bullshit. Make sure you actually pay attention to what you're fucking doing before templating a regular user, and doing so with such trumped-up bullshit. And I've now fixed the link, since you were too lazy to do so having reverted me (the WP:BURDEN was on you to sort it out, since I was following policy by removing blacklisted links) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 07:44, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- Don't word, read WP:TTR. See this? The bot fucked up by saying the link was spam, so you were misled. That excuses your deletion, and yet ideally, you'd have done what you've now done - repair the link - with your first edit. I'm guessing in future, you'll be more likely to repair than delete. And I'd already suggested that the bot be disabled, and it's just been disabled. So he encyclopedia is improving. Go us. --Elvey (talk) 08:41, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- If something gets tagged as being on the spam blacklist, I will remove it, pure and simple. Rather than get into a pointless editwar, I used the redirect this time. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:46, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- I hope you get a clue about what the expected false positive/collateral damage rate is of the current blacklist system, and reconsider your decision to edit blindly. --Elvey (talk) 21:40, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
- If a fully legal bot is doing the tagging, then I will act on what the bot says, until the time that the bot is found to be flawed and blocked/decommissioned. Also, I'm not pleased to have been referenced on the bot's talk page without being informed of it. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 08:02, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

Re: Gordon Banks' appearances for Hellenic
You're right. The newspaper report claiming that Banks broke his finger on his DEBUT is wrong. But are you positive that he made 3 league appearances for Hellenic (rather than two?) I have compiled NFL line-ups from various sources. Although seasons 1963-1971 are nearly complete, there is the odd match missing.
Looking at Hellenic FC's stats for 1971, I found the following:

The Sims 4
Hello,
How do you know that The Sims 4 is coming out in March 2014, is there any references or any official proof. And is it real 100% Announcement from EA. That The Sims 4 is coming out March 2014.

AN reply
I agree with you, I should have been more proactive and stopping such behavior early on. As an academic scholar some of Wikipedia's processes go right against the very conventions I have been taught. Namely, when someone misrepresents, dismisses or challenges an assertion I am told to respond with the reasons why their argument is wrong and persuade others who would make similar claims to closely examine the text. If my argument is bested or I cannot appropriately address the concerns than I yield. Peer reviews and interacting is the core of academic advancement, but when you insert bad-faith and POV pushing bad things happen. On here the questions are dodged or reiterated without addressing the initial argument, sidetracking to TLDR territory. Such as copy-pasting objections to opposite POV without addressing why they are wrong; simply regurgitating the mess or finding more and more contrived ways to make objections to distract from the matter at hand. I need some mentoring to better prepare myself against such things and not get sucked into them. Like it or not, part of Lucia's behavior is because I enabled her by continuing to discuss in the belief that reason, logic or consensus building would occur. I regret my response and frustration with her because it's made such a problem from the community. I spend very little time in Anime and Manga subjects as well. So the drama is far out of proportion of anything I expected or seen before. ChrisGualtieri (talk) 18:04, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- If you were to get mentorship, and took on board exactly what your mentor said, then it would do you a world of good, and also remove a lot of the ammunition your opposers have against you. I'm rarely here on Wikipedia any more (certainly compared to what I was doing), and am considering semi-retiring due to time constraints, but until I make any firm commitment, I'll continue my aimless wander around the place. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 19:23, 10 October 2013 (UTC)
- Do you know a place where I can get or find such a mentor? It would be for the best, and I have been taking to heart the advice that I am given, but actual mentoring is the difference between someone commenting on your actions and refinement and culture teachers at a finishing school.

Peter Brock
Hi,
I noticed that you removed my edits on the Peter Brock page. I am new to Wikipedia, and have not edited before. I have spent much time researching Peter Brock, I do however understand that I need to reference my contributions. Most of my contributions come from books. Could you please explain to me how I can reference my contributions particularly references that are books. I also am aware that my writing is not unbiased, but that is something that will improve the more I contribute.
I would most like to contribute as I do have quite an extensive knowledge of This topic (in Australia which is where I live he is the most revered driver in history).

Jeg2357 (talk) 02:18, 23 October 2013 (UTC) Hi Luke, I'm sorry my edit seemed like advertising. I didn't mean it to sound like, or imply, advertising or for promotional purposes. I haven't built or sold a BatRod in over 10 years. I was just kinda tooting my own horn. The link I provided was just for the pictures. I have no affiliation with anybody at or with that website. Jim Jeg2357 (talk) 02:18, 23 October 2013 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, because you have built and sold BatRods, then I'm afraid you shouldn't be adding in the information. Besides, the addition was poorly sourced (please read WP:V and WP:RS; blogspot sources should not be used) and there was no evidence of the BatRod being notable in any way.

"Obvious trolling?"[1] I was just trying to end that section by expressing how ridiculous it would be if Hasteur really was correct. Sry for misunderstanding DontClickMeName talkcontributions 19:00, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

It's hard to remember your number!
Thanks for your first revert, you probably kept me out of a mess. I think you have a nice integrity--even when you disagreed with Hasteur, you still knew it was plainly harmful for me to make a laugh out of his opinions on the matter (which were serious input).
You also knew not to shy off when I said "I was just trying to end that section by expressing how ridiculous it would be if Hasteur really was correct. Sry for misunderstanding" ... It was very wrong how I worded that sentence: I talked as if I fully expected you to agree with my behavior, and made it look like you couldn't possibly disapprove it unless you didn't get the sarcasm. That's terrible--I swear it wasn't conscious, but maybe my learned automatic behavior...
I did, in fact, hope you merely didn't understand my sarcasm, but it was my nasty bias that made me behave as if I fully expected the hope to be true.
Wikipedia needs more people like you... DontClickMeName talkcontributions 03:58, 28 October 2013 (UTC)

South Coast football
Luke, I know your teams are Birmingham City and Norwich City, but I noticed you are from the South / South West. So it had me thinking about Southampton's sudden rise to the upper echelon of the table. It made me wonder what is happening with their would be rivals Portsmouth, and I noticed they are down in League Two. It was not too long ago that I remember them being in the Premier League, have they been relegated nearly every year since they dropped from the top flight? Also, are you a fan of thoroughbred racing and if so did you watch the Breeders' Cup? The Europeans did fairly well. Freddiem (talk) 08:10, 3 November 2013 (UTC)
- The Portsmouth story is a depressing one. The most obvious comparison is Rangers - except that Portsmouth weren't liquidated. Portsmouth went into administration two or three times due to a combination of slightly crooked owners, overspending, and chronic mismanagement. They were relegated from the Premier League at the end of the 2009–10 season, and then suffered back-to-back relegations in 2011–12 and last season - coming very close to being liquidated in the latter season, when basically their entire senior squad had to leave. They seem to have stabilized in League Two for now, but quite low in that league. As for horse racing, I'm afraid I have next-to-no interest, or knowledge, in that sport. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:37, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

Mistaken Gross
I had to revert the addition of this NDTV source because it did not clearly explain Thuppakki's overall collections (it said "reportedly fetched over Rs 80 crore at the box-office"), without saying whether domestic or international. The majority of other sources in the article mention that the film domestically earned 180 crore (Times Of India and EROS International), and because the NDTV source didn't seem to fit anywhere in the article, I preferred to go with what the other sources say. ---- Kailash29792 (talk) 16:45, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
- What you should've done is a partial reversion - which I probably should've done as well. The reason for this is using the "crore" is more helpful than using million/billion, since it seems that this is the appropriate thing for Indian films (and is generally used in the sources as well.) This also has the added bonus of keeping things in the same units. This is what made the edit, on the face of it, appear to be valid. As a result, I've changed things to crore :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 16:57, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
question about which revert(s) you wanted to see discussion about
You entered phase two of WP:BRD with this diff.[5]
Did you actually mean to revert the second edit, which got rid of the weasel wording, or did you only object to the footnote-expansion, and twinkle-limitations caused the double-revert? I'll go add the footnote-expansion to the talkpage to see if anybody objects to the wording, but I'd like to stick the weasel-fix back into mainspace if you don't mind. Thanks for improving wikipedia.
p.s. Does twinkle not leave template-stuff on user-talkpages like some of the other tools do? I'd appreciate a note if you revert my edits in the future, if the wiki-tool permits it. I just caught this one by luck. Danke. 74.192.84.101 (talk) 00:02, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Gedion Zelalem AFC submission
Thank you for your work on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gedion Zelalem.
Would you be willing to do a copyright-infringement review of it, and rewrite any verbatim-quotes or close paraphrases that you find? I would strongly discourage any administrator from un-salting Gedion Zelalem until 1) the copyright review is done by someone (I'll eventually do it if nobody else does) and 2) there is a consensus by non-involved editors (i.e. not you, and not me) on WT:WikiProject Football that this person's notability as a football (soccer) player won't be called into question or he clearly meets WP:NFOOTY based on game-play alone (his 17th birthday - late January 2014 - at the earliest). The second issue likely won't be decided for a few days yet, so there is plenty of time to take care of the copyright review. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:14, 10 November 2013 (UTC)
- Given that 90% of the text in there was written by me, I can guarantee that copyright infringement will not be a problem with it. He clearly fails WP:NFOOTY as he is still a youth player, and is yet to make a fully professional appearance (this may, however, be literally a couple of months away at most); however, I'm pretty sure he meets WP:GNG, which is more important. Also, note that his age is actually completely irrelevant; he doesn't have to be 17 to become notable, he simply has to play a professional game for Arsenal (which will probably come in either a short Premier League run-out, or an FA Cup round, at a guess.) There are a lot more sources out there than I used in the article as well. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 20:56, 10 November 2013 (UTC)

Virsliga's non-fully-pro status
Section 5.2 of the document sourced by LatvianFootball lists a series of documents to be submitted by club to the LFF. The list includes work contracts of professional players and amateur contracts of amateur players. Given that the league rules specifically provide for the registration of amateur players, it's pretty clear that the League is not fully pro. Google translate provides a reasonable English translation. Sir Sputnik (talk) 23:23, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Good job I reverted it! It was as much a skepticism as anything else, and I prefer to see either rock-solid sources, or a clear consensus, for any such addition(s). Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 23:48, 13 November 2013 (UTC)
- Those are the regulations set out by the Latvian Football Federation that clearly divide players into those who have professional contracts and those who have amateur contracts. Therefore, I put the league in the not fully professional category. You can even check this info on the LFF website, where there is info about the contract of every registered player. As an example, I give you the entry of FK Liepājas Metalurgs, where there are professional and amateur players in the squad mixed. http://www.lff.lv/lv/virsliga/klubi/liepajasmetalurgs/ LatvianFootball (talk) 00:09, 15 November 2013 (UTC)

For your help with my German stalker. I wish I spoke enough German to be able to explain to him how the C20 and C120 names apply to the Nissan Vanette, which is the misunderstanding underlying all of his ill will. Sadly, and judging by the way he's responded to other German editors in the past I don't think his kind of crazy can be chalked up to language differences. Anyhow, thanks again for the help! Mr.choppers | ✎ 06:38, 17 November 2013 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, my German extends to guten tag and scheisse, so I can't help anyway. It's very weird; some of the edits (at least, the basic edit, leaving the edit warring aside) at least appear to be misinformed-but-in-good-faith; and yet some of them are pure spam and/or addition of promotional bullshit. However, the rather pathetic vandalism of your userpage, and the attempt there of taking over my talk page... this is why I don't like IPs being able to edit, especially those on mobile networks. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 11:23, 17 November 2013 (UTC)

- Problem is, those rangeblocks can also take out good editors (or good new editors, which in some ways is even worse), all because one pratt decides that it's "cool" to disrupt Wikipedia. And I can't see how we'll ever get rangeblocks on mobile providers, since so many use them; despite the fact that they're the easiest things for vandals to use.

Hi there LUKE, AL "here",
lost battle apparently, this article (and many many more) is lost in the wilderness because the are so many beasts out there (in other words the vandals and the idiots that won't leave us to work in peace!) that this can't be stemmed.
In this case, this "user" is saying "My team does not have bad fans, only the rest, we are great!". In a similar case (would not be the least surprised if the same person was the culprit, with another IP), referenced stuff regarding Bruma (footballer born 1994)'s debut in the UEFA Champions League was summarily removed why? Because Galatasaray (another Turkish team, as in Webó's case) lost 1-6, and the fans are having none of that! Pityful...
Happy editing, happier weekend, from Portugal --AL (talk) 00:43, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- I can see where they're coming from with Pierre Webó, but it seems to be a fairly clear consensus to keep that passage of text in that article, hence why I revert the removal on sight.

- Now that it has been explained by you, it is fine; the other user, however, was refusing to give a reason for doing so. It also looks like they have a history of removing things without ever explaining themselves. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:36, 29 November 2013 (UTC)

- Hi Luke, I understand that you're frustrated, but this kind of comment should be avoided in the future. Mark Arsten (talk) 15:15, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- You're right, it should be. I think "frustrated" should be replaced by "outraged by the way I'm being misrepresented", however. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 15:18, 3 December 2013 (UTC)
- Ok, thanks. No worries. Mark Arsten (talk) 15:44, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

- As I thought, Dan. :p I'm sure you can work out who I am ;) Incidentally, when you're using a Wikipedia talk page, please sign your posts at the end using four tildes (~~~~), and you can create section headers by putting two equals signs around whatever you want the heading to say. :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 12:44, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Wikiproject Brands
This project is tagged on a vast number of irrelevant articles (Hydropneumatic suspension?). AIUI, it was no more than a 'bot run gone bad. Andy Dingley (talk) 22:57, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
- I wonder if there is an automated way to remove them, Andy? Otherwise it's easier to just leave them there than to remove them one-by-one (and relatively harmless). :) Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 23:04, 5 December 2013 (UTC)
