vandalism

Hello i was just wondering how you get the vandalism template thing on to people's user pages as i have tried many times and failed . help please.WILLDE 19:50, 7 October 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willde1 (talk • contribs)

You need to enclose the template in two pairs of curly brackets e.g. {{subst:uw-vandalism1}}, not one pair e.g. {subst:uw-vandalism1} as you have been doing. Alternatively use twinkle, you need to turn it on in your preferences, and then it will give you a tab a the top of talk pages for adding warnings. Martin451 (talk) 19:56, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Smallville

Um, could you explain why you reverted the removal of a relevant link on the Smallville pages? The link is allowable by WP:EL standards. If you disagree then you should go to the talk page, given that the link has been there for a long time.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:30, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

This appears to be spam. Martin451 (talk) 22:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

It's not spam. It's a journal I found through my university website that discusses homosexual subtexts in Smallville across five seasons of the show. The guy who wrote it is a professor who specializes in the field, and has written other peer reviewed journals and books on the subject with other shows.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:35, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

It it still spam, you have added this to a lot of smallville articles as external links, that is spamming. Wikipedia is not a collection of links. (WP:NOTLINK) Martin451 (talk) 22:38, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I've added the pages that are relevant to specific seasons to those season pages. The page that talks just about season five only appears on that page. The page that talks only about season 2 gets that page. That's not WP:SPAM. IMDb appears on every TV and Film page, yet that isn't considered spam because it has relevant to each individual subject.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:40, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

The link appears to neither be WP:SPAM nor a WP:RS. I can't see why biggy would edit war to keep it in the article. Either way, the EW needs to stop. Toddst1 (talk) 02:40, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Tourism in Spain-Religion

Hi Martin, I agree that that paragraph is unreferenced, but that is what we need, a reference. It is not OR not suspect, it is a well stablished and known (in Spain at least) fact. So instead of removing it, it is better to tag it as unreferenced, don't you think? Cheers! David (talk) 07:19, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm just putting the episodes back the way they were when I came acrosss them. TH43 (talk) 19:47, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

I gave you both the warning, as you were both edit warring. But I reported User talk:Marin17 to WP:AN3 about this. Martin451 (talk) 19:51, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, I did not appreciate the insults or accusations. This user was claiming that I undid all of their hard work, but never contacted me to tell what "work" I supposedly undid. I did try to point out to him/her on their user page that as far as the individual colors for each season are concerned, it wasn't me who originally put them in. I was just put them back the way there were when I found them and added the TV specials, above the episodes. Who ever put them in, is copying the same format as the episodes for Jon & Kate Plus 8. Again, it wasn't me who decided this style. :o)

They also forgot, a few times, to add a closing tag for the end of the table for a couple of seasons. TH43 (talk) 08:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of JackBe declined

• This article can't be speedy deleted because it has already survived a discussion at articles for deletion. It's a good idea to check the talk page before nominating an article, there was a notice there about the AFD. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/JackBe. If you feel strongly that it can't be fixed and should be deleted, you will need to re-nominate it for deletion via AFD. Alternately, you could edit the article to correct the perceived problems with it. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:38, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Craig narrow gauge

I don't think you meant to warn him for vandalism... --NE2 18:29, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, I did not intend to vandalize your page, rather provide some ready access to a growing body of relevant material. I was (I agree) promoting my site that does contain relevant information on the Bodie & Benton. I'm new to wiki and learning the ropes and it never occured to me that what I was doing is interpreted as vandalism. Also, a big fan of things Bodie about 13 visits since the mid 1960's, including the railroad grade. The intent was OK, turns out the methodology wasn't!

Would you reconsider? Sorry and thanks. Craig narrow gauge (talk) 18:49, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

It's not vandalism - that warning was incorrect - but it is bad to add links to your own site. I looked at what's on there about the B&B and it's not much, so I don't think a link to it belongs on the article. --NE2 19:40, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Seeing as I can't get an answer...

From here can you please tell me why this keeps getting reverted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.11.154.142 (talk) 18:36, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Take your pick, it is WP:Original research, WP:Trivia, WP:UNDUE weight on a small detail, or one of several other reasons it should not be included in wikipedia. Martin451 (talk) 18:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Law of Cosines

Martin451 Please note, the "Laws of Cosine" is plural, NOT singular. The Law of Cosines consist of three formulas, not one. Per the article's triangular drawing, the three formulas are as follows

$a^{2}=b^{2}+c^{2}-2bc\cos(\alpha )\,$

$b^{2}=a^{2}+c^{2}-2ac\cos(\beta )\,$

$c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}-2ab\cos(\gamma )\,$

Sincerely, Mike Brady mbrady94107@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.230.110.161 (talk) 23:38, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

No, they are all the same formula, with just the letters swapped around. Please can we leave this on the article talk page. Martin451 (talk) 23:44, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Martin, you are mistaken. Each of the three formulas are true for the article's triangular drawing. All three are crucial. The article does not have or alude to the three different proofs to obtain the three formulas. Therefore, they need to be stated ... Mike

Martin, all triangles have three Sines, three Cosines and three Tangents. The same goes for their inverses too. Wikipedia's "Law of Sines" shows the six idenity ratios, as it should. The Law of Cosines has three identies. The Law of Tangents had six identy ratios of which the present article (11-03-09) only shows one ... Mike

Random Section heading

Any good-faith effort to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided or ill-considered, is not vandalism. Even harmful edits that are not explicitly made in bad faith are not vandalism. For example, adding a controversial personal opinion to an article once is not vandalism; reinserting it despite multiple warnings is (however, edits/reverts over a content dispute are never vandalism, see WP:EW). Not all vandalism is obvious, nor are all massive or controversial changes vandalism. Careful thought may be needed to decide whether changes made are beneficial, detrimental but well-intended, or outright vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.106.205.76 (talk) 23:37, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

User:Painaware

Hi -- you quite properly reverted an edit this editor made linking from the Pain article to a draft article in user space. But since this is a new editor unlikely to be familiar with policy, hitting them with a vandalism template, without any explanation of the problem, seems a bit bitey. This is the sort of thing that can drive potentially good editors away. Regards, Looie496 (talk) 20:31, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Thankyou for telling me this. I have put a strike through the warning. Thanks also for your note on his talk page. Martin451 (talk) 20:44, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Swindon 105.5

Hi,

Thank you for monitoring this page. It has been the subject of repeated vandalism. I work at Swindon 105.5, I am one of the presenters.

We have endeavoured to keep the page factual and accurate. I believe we have succeeded. If however, we have made errors, we would be delighted for some guidance from those that know. The page was set up by a computer-geek no longer associated with the station.

In our honest opinion, we would be delighted if you could actually remove the page - it's been more trouble than it's worth, and I have to keep monitoring it for sabotage.

If the page cannot be removed and the name barred, can you please tell a complete computer novice (me) how to protect the page... using simple language in words of one syllable

Ron Travolta (talk) 19:38, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I have put the page up for deletion, here where we will try and gain consensus about whether to delete or keep it. I am happy for you to contribute to the discussion, but if you do you should include the fact that you word for the station. If the page is not deleted, then it is unlikely to be protected as the level of vandalism is low, and anyone will still be able to edit it.Martin451 (talk) 20:07, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Thierry Henry

User:Jbmurphy 22:34, 18 November 2009 (GMT)

I was trying to mention the handball that Thierry Henry committed in the box against Ireland in the world cup qualifiers. It defintly needs to be mentioned in his international page. How best should this be added?

Is it really notable enough to be included? "He will always be known for his double hand ball"? is a very dubious statement and I suggest you leave his article alone. Martin451 (talk) 22:41, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

It should be mentioned in the World Cup 2010 section and added too later on. There will be alot of talk about it in the next while anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jbmurphy (talk • contribs) 22:55, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Can you please explain why you gave this editor an "only warning" for vandalism [1]? His edit was non-neutral (I was about to revert it myself) but it was sourced and certainly wasn't vandalism. --NeilN ^{talk ♦ contribs} 22:59, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. I reverted an edit by 98selitb which, which I thought was Jbmurphy's second edit. When Jbmurphy made his second edit, I thought it was his third to a page which has received a lot of vandalism today and has already been semi-protected. I thought Jbmurphy was using an old account to carry on adding material as the page had been semi protected. Martin451 (talk) 23:18, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I am sorry if i did something wrong. i know I used the word "jerks" but I thought because it was a talk page that i sometimes see people use worse language on talk pages than that and it stay s on for a very long time.

Just adding "Probably because the're all jerks, thats all I can figure." is not a constructive addition to a talk page, you should be discussing the article, not the actual subject. Also you previous edit was also not constructive. Martin451 (talk) 01:17, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Page blanked by author

Hi. Though page blanking is usually vandalism and needs to be reverted, it is worth looking first at the page history, because quite often the author has blanked his own page, as with Paul Bennett (Financial Adviser born 1966) just now. In those cases the best thing is to tag it {{db-author}}. It can be confusing for an author who realises his page is inappropriate and blanks it, if his page is at once restored and he is accused of vandalism for the blanking and told it was unconstructive. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:18, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

In this case I think I re-blanked the page almost immediately, and tagged it with {{gb-g7}}, however I did not removing my warning on his talk page, which I have just done. Thanks for telling me. Martin451 (talk) 20:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello there!

from Noel McCullagh

Hi Martin. Recently this page has become the target of some very personal edits from people on wikipedia. I myself have also been subject to a sustained krank telephone-call campaign since before Xmass. Im getting also really horrible emails from unknown people that are not signed. I'm surry Martin, but I am at my wits end. and all this does not make live living iwth a crippling illness any easier to do. So please, I don't know how to do it exactly, but I am very weak and ill at the moment.

Please remove this page and the statements, information, chat, fun it makes of my serious medical condition. Noel McCullagh 20:01, 6 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barentsz (talk • contribs)

A look at the page history shows that it was created by you when you were running for the EU parliament, and at the time is was put up for AfD, and was kept. If you want it deleted then I suggest you try putting it for AfD again, however many wikipedians do not like wikipedia being used like this (page created when you want it, deleted when you don't like it).

Hello Martin, today you gave my IP a final warning. I want to explain to you that it is my high school that is editing information that should not be touched.

I, personally, never edit anything without admin or trusted user permission.

Dear Martin, I have made several small improvements and hope that the article is now ok. It contains many credible 3rd party sources as it is a bio of a living person. I tried to keep it high-quality, hope You appreciate my input.\

Removing content that isn't vandalism but fact

Hi there. Please note the heavy handed approach on wikipedia to new content is not in the public's best interest. There was no vandalism and the information regarding the detailed seller ratings can be verified on ebay's own help pages and via their terms and conditions. Please explain why you marked valid content as vandalism? And how can ebay's own pages, regarding forementioned detailed seller ratings, not be considered a reliable reference? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Memollymoo (talk • contribs) 23:27, 11 February 2013 (UTC)

I apologise for the level of warning I gave. What you added includes statements like "many people" which need decent third party references, this does not include ebay itself, and you are not providing a source to the actual statements you use.

Constantly telling you he's going to report you? So what, if you have done nothing wrong you don't need to worry. Telling you twice he is going to report you is not constantly. TBH I think he is more mature than you.Martin451 (talk) 02:17, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

How so? I'm not threatening him with blocking or reporting, I'm scolding him over being fussy and believing we must bow to his requests because he'll "report" us for whatever.

It has named three national champions and two quarterback of the year awards.

In the spririt of Wikipedia Neutrality the original edits are completly congruent with already present critisms, as this section refers explicitly to critisms ie plagarism, the other pervasive critism of mental illness falls within this category.

Having re-read the edit, I agree that it was not vandalism, but I also agree with another author that your edit should remain in the article about the person.

Replaceable fair use File:Dockwise Vanguard carrying JakeMalo Platform.png

Thanks for uploading File:Dockwise Vanguard carrying JakeMalo Platform.png. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails thefirst non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the file description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject,requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:38, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

Non-admin closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of unusual deaths (6th nomination)

This discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
There are three things wrong with your non-admin closure: There wasn't a consensus formed The nomination hadn't run for seven days What you cite as rationale isn't a policy or guideline pbp 04:46, 25 June 2013 (UTC) The five prior AfDs all arrived at keep or no consensus, the previous one was closed just 4 days before and had a lengthy discussion which arrived at no consensus. A new AfD straight away will clearly not arrive at consensus. Starting a new AfD just days after the previous one was closed because it did not arrive at the consensus you wanted is disruptive. Are you going to keep renominating it until you get the result you want?Martin451 (talk) 15:34, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Maybe I will. You don't seem to understand how improper your closure is. The "don't renom until two months have passed" isn't policy and never will be. Even if it was, the nomination didn't qualify for NAC. You were completely out of line in closing it the way you did pbp 18:59, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Good closure, as backed up by the "this again" comments from other editors. --NeilN talk to me 19:10, 25 June 2013 (UTC) How can you say it was a good closure, Neil? It violates the principles of NAC pbp 19:18, 25 June 2013 (UTC) WP:IAR to counter your WP:IDHT. A 6th nom days after a 5th nom was closed? Really? --NeilN talk to me 19:27, 25 June 2013 (UTC) If you can ignore rules, so can I. Furthermore, there wasn't any consensus in the previous discussion, and I for one believe that something closed as "no consensus" can and should be relisted immediately (and no policy contradicts that, and even if it did, I can just invoke IAR). It should have been relisted, or better, the admin who closed it needed to grow a backbone and realize that more than half the keep votes hinged on "I like" or hit count, and many were kneejerk keepists from the ARS, and should have deleted it on those grounds. That article needs to be deleted ASAP, and if I have to nominate it a seventh time, I will. I don't care if you like that or not pbp 19:34, 25 June 2013 (UTC) There is no point in relisting it if we are not going to reach consensus. This is wikipedia, if there are 20 editors commenting on something, then there will often be 20 views, sometimes more. Relisting this article until it is deleted is just going to hurt wikipedia.Martin451 (talk) 20:21, 25 June 2013 (UTC) So you non-admin closed with a supervote to prevent the article from being deleted... for the "sake of Wikipedia"? If you're using your close to guarantee a result then it's a bad close. I actually came here to quietly suggest that next time it might be best to let an admin close something that contentious, but your last comment is concerning. If that was the motivation then it was a very bad close. Sorry. There's no guarantee consensus won't be reached just because it wasn't last time. The last discussion was dominated by bludgeoning and ILIKEIT/IDONTLIKEIT votes on both sides. While immediately renominating something that closed as keep can be considered pointy, there is absolutely no prohibition or restriction on renomination after a no consensus result and the citation of an obscure user essay as a closing rationale doesn't change that. If an admin wants to closed it and take PBP to ANI, let them. But your close was, unfortunately, not a good one. Even less so given your subsequent defence of it. Stalwart111 04:28, 26 June 2013 (UTC) I did not close it to prevent it being deleted, it was not a supervote. If you look at the 5th nomination you will see I did not even comment in it. If PBP renominates it I promise not to do a NAC. As for my subsequent defence of it, am I not allowed to reply to comments on my own talk page?Martin451 (talk) 23:38, 26 June 2013 (UTC) "Relisting this article until it is deleted is just going to hurt wikipedia." Allowing consensus to form in favour of deleting the article would "hurt Wikipedia"? How? Consensus can change and after several keep results and, more recently, several marginal no-consensus results (that relied on big helpings of WP:IAR), it seems like that change is well-and-truly underway. You stepped in to close the AFD because relisting, allowing that consensus to develop and eventually deleting it, "is just going to hurt wikipedia". That's a supervote, I'm afraid. WP:NACs are for "non-controversial discussions". Under what circumstances did you think closing that AFD with that rationale would be "non-controversial"? Oh, and you can defend your close, of course, but my point was that your subsequent defence had actually exacerbated original concerns rather than address them. Stalwart111 03:40, 27 June 2013 (UTC) Having one trainwreck after another is not going to obtain consensus, that time would be better wasted on other things. By BPBs own comments he won't let it rest until he obtains consensus, but that is the consensus he wants. He claims that many of the keep votes were invalid, that is not conclusive to consensus. Yes consensus can change, but this is not the way to go about changing consensus. I suggest if either of you feel what I did was wrong then take it to WP:ANI or elsewhere.Martin451 (talk) 01:05, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Swaminarayan Mantra

Hi,

Swaminarayan Mantra is not a living person, it is a mantra meaning sound, syllable, word, or group of words that this sect uses to pray. I just was correcting a mistake that identifies Swaminarayan as a faith. It is a sect of hinduism and for some reason, it is being called faith. I looked up wiki's definition for sect and it's a subgroup of a religious, political or philosophical belief system, usually an offshoot of a larger religious group. Also I wanted to ask you, could you help me with some article edits because I am being attacked on here and wasn't sure about it. Will you revert the article or should I.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.217.203.131 (talk) 00:02, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Sorry for taking my time to reply. Sect (at least where I come from) is often used by the opponents as a pejorative, i.e. and insult to demean others. Many major religions started off as sects. To go through wikipedia wholesale changing faith to sect needs discussion first.Martin451 (talk) 00:28, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Mistake (?)

You said that while editing User:Gionosai It was a test. This is a mistake. I don't know what a test means to you but, under Gionosai's permission, I made this page for him. Please message him for questions.

Of course it was constructive. I mentioned a reliable source, for one thing, and eliminated reliance on a personal website, which is against policy for this encyclopedia. It was quite out of line for you to remove the flags , so I put them back.98.109.238.95 (talk) 02:31, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

Introduced species article- section on "genetic polution"

Hello Martin, as I've posted clearly with each edit the subject of so called "genetic pollution" is not directly relevant to a page on "introduced species" and thereby doesn't belong there.. Maybe you are having trouble viewing my edit comments? in any case please stop reverting the content unless you have specific reason to believe otherwise. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.182.156.39 (talk) 04:35, 29 June 2013 (UTC)

PLEASE STOP DELETING MY ADDITIONS

Alright I just read your updated post on the Navy Yard shooter. It looks like you did add some information about the police report and him hearing voices that he claimed to be electronically generated. I will examine what you have added more closely and will likely get back to you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.170.59.80 (talk • contribs)

Your additions have been removed by four different users. They cite unreliable sources, and a book that given your username could have been written by you. Wikipedia aims to be neutral, and authors adding speculative pieces based upon their own books is not neutral for articles such as this one.Martin451 (talk) 11:00, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

Steven Adams

In regards to the edit of the jersey number on the page Steven Adams, you told me that I did not provide a source. However, in my comment on what I edited, I provided a link to a video posted by the Oklahoma City Thunder showing Adams wearing a #12 Thunder jersey. If that isn't credible, then I don't know what is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.87.104.110 (talk) 04:23, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

EDIT: Here is another link showing that my change is legitimate and credible. http://www.nba.com/thunder/gallery/photoshoot_130629 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.87.104.110 (talk) 04:26, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

You need to provide an inline link using <ref> </ref> tags to a reliable source, e.g. a news article, or a press release from the team. A link in the comments is not enough.Martin451 (talk) 04:28, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Ana Ivanovic

But I'm hardly vandalizing at all. All the information I've removed is on the Ana Ivanovic career statistics page. If you look back on the history of the page, you can clearly see that someone's added the information there. I'm just following the standard and format on all the other pages re: tennis players. 210.195.217.186 (talk) 18:28, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

The Avengers External Links

Hello, I just wanted to say that there are multiple other pages that have external links to wikia websites. The only ones I can think of at the moment is Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and the pages for almost all of the pages related to Star Wars. Wikia even has it's own page on Wikipedia which you can find here. Also, wikias are just websites that go deeper into the things that Wikipedia only has one page for. A wikia focuses on one certain topic and makes pages for every notable character in the topic that that wikia is on. In conclusion, I think that we should keep the External Links on every one of the pages about Marvel Cinematic Universe movies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Milomilk (talk • contribs) 06:22, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Hi Martin

Hello Martin, if you are referring to me using my ip address to edit the page then it was me simply being new to Wikipedia and having not known I wasn't signed into my account. If it is something else then please tell me as I'm not sure. I am trying to help this article, not abuse it, so any advice on how to fix this would be helpful. Thanks.

Deletion sorting

Hello Martin, thank you for helping with deletion sorting but please be careful not to sort discussions twice such as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ilija Dodić as it had already been sorted by Jinkinson. Therefore I have removed the duplicate sort from Actors and filmmakers and Serbia and striked your delsort. Regards ★☆ DUCKISJAMMMY☆★ 13:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)

Thankyou for the message and correction.Martin451 16:05, 8 January 2014 (UTC)
