Vandalism on Creationism

Hi there! Thanks for reverting the vandalism on Creationism. You mentioned in the edit summary that there appeared to be more. I have taken a look at the page and it looks like you covered everything. Do you have any particular concerns? That may help me find the revisions related to what I missed. Everything I found had already been dealt with. Thanks again! --Mpdelbuono (talk) 05:13, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

• The only thing I was able to remove was the vulgar term used. All of the information may or may not be correct. I cannot be objective on the topic (which is something that must happen when editing) so I left it to others who may be objective. Thanks for the comments.

Re:

thanks. good to find educated people who is open to dialogue, not rude persons like that uneducated girl/woman. all she does is to revert without discussing, as you can see on her talk page. regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.231.211.214 (talk) 19:23, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

• No Problem - I have not taken the time (because no offense - the article doesn't interest me all that much) to search, but go to "Google News" and I am sure that you can find a source that states exactly your opinion or something even stronger. Use the link to support your statement (as long as the article contains the statement). Morning277 (talk) 19:27, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Your rollback request

Hello Morning277, I have granted rollback rights to your account in accordance with your request. Please be aware that rollback should be used to revert vandalism/spam/blatantly unconstructive edits, and that using it to revert anything else (by revert-warring or reverting edits you disagree with) can lead to it being removed from your account...sometimes without any warning, depending on the admin who becomes aware of any misuse. For practice, you may wish to see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback. Good luck. Acalamari 00:40, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Ricky Dobbs

Hey, thanks very much for the message! I was impressed with Golden Tate. The game against Stanford was a very good one. You guys played tough against a lot of good teams. Anyway, if you'd like to I could use some help expanding the Ricky Dobbs article. I just put it up for a DYK nom. :) Pretty interesting story. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:46, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

• You want me to edit the page of a Navy player? The team that made me look foolish two out of the last three years??? Well, in law school they say that you have to be willing to defend the rights of those you hate in order to preserve your own rights. I don't "hate" Navy, but I guess the same applies here.  :) Joking aside, I would be happy to get to work on it. I will have more time tomorrow. If there is something specific that you would like added or researched, please leave it on the talk page. Morning277 (talk) 00:54, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Oops. Haha. Sorry, I hadn't thought of that. :) Although if you're going to be beaten by someone, I think you want them to be pretty special. And this Dobbs character and his triple option offense seem pretty interesting. I think I expanded it enough already for DYK, so you're off the hook. But feel free to have a look anyway. Cheers. Thanks again for your kind comments. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:09, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Ricky Dobbs Edited a little today. Added Wiki links to most of the page as well as added an info box for his statistics. He will be playing in a bowl game this year (I believe) and it could be added at a later date. I will do some more research and see what I can come up with to add to the story. Morning277 (talk) 01:15, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

There's an Army Navy game Dec. 12 and then "Texas Bowl on Thursday, Dec. 31 at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The game will be televised nationally by ESPN at 3:30 pm ET, 2:30 pm in Houston." Their seventh straight bowl game. Missouri seems like a tough matchup. Thanks for the help. ChildofMidnight (talk) 18:04, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm watching the Army Nacy game. I suppose if Ricky Dobbs gets a rushing touchdown he will be the sole record holder for single season rushing TDs by a college QB? We'll see what happens. 0-0 so far. I'm curious to see what this triple option thing is all about as well. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC) ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:58, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

At least I was able to get a nap in while the game was on. The nap I took was the most interest part of the game. Morning277 (talk) 22:28, 12 December 2009 (UTC)==Great News!!!==

Bacon Materializer

Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome.

This year's event also includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition. Given the critical importance of this subject matter, I know you will want to participate, so remember to sign up today and get started A.S.A.P. ALL ARE WELCOME!!! The more the merrier. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:48, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks...

Ditto! --BaronLarf 05:48, 9 December 2009 (UTC)

Your reversion on Jeff Manning

Today you reverted my edit to this article, using Huggle, without an explanation as to why. I would appreciate your providing one at the discussion I've begun at Talk:Jeff Manning#Reverted description. Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 07:14, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

• Message left on the Talk:Jeff Manning page. Do not know how or why this edit was made. All reverts that I do with HG are for vandalism and this edit was clearly not vandalism. Do not know how or why it happened. Apologies extended. Morning277 (talk) 14:35, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

OK, thanks -- accidents happen, no problem. Best, Beyond My Ken (talk) 15:01, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

re Symphony of the Damned

If you review wikipedia's policy of WP:N, no article should exist without third party sources to show that the topic of the article is notable, if there are no sources provided in the article, a redirect should be placed to an appropriate article topic that is notable. Hence the redirect from the unsourced album of dubious notability to the band. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.69.139.140 (talk) 04:11, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

I believe you are referring to this edit 1. The review that needs to be done is by you at Wikipedia:Vandalism. Specifically, go to the section on "blanking." Also, if you expect your edits not to be reverted by those of us who consistently fight vandlism, I would suggest that you create an account as the IP address you are using has a LONG history of vandalism as it is automatically re-assigned to others in your workplace. See your User Talk Page if you need clarification. If you are stating that you are actually contributing with constructing edits, then I am wondering why you received nine (9) additional warnings on December 16, 2009 after the one that I sent you. Morning277 (talk) 15:07, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

The "9 additional warnings" are all from a pissed off user who is upset that his non-notable album articles are being redirected per our policy WP:N to the band site. He is the one in the wrong.

Per your link, Blanking is "Removing all or significant parts of a page's content without any reason." My edits were not blanking at all. They are completely based on policy reasons. None of the content was verified. No third party sources is a complete sign of not meeting our requirement of notability which indicates such articles should be deleted or redirected which is what I did. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.86.226.16 (talk) 00:31, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Your logic contains numerous fallacies; however, blanking without an explanation is vandalism. Thanks for the discussion, but it doesn't really matter to me. In order to have constructive edits that are less likely to be deleted, I would kindly recommend that prior to completely removing an article by blanking the page and putting a simple redirect, go to the talk page of the article for discussion. If no one wishes to discuss the blanking of the article, then recommend for deletion. Also, prior to deleting paragraphs or blanking an article, an attempt should be made to find a citation for the article. Attempting to Wikify an article is also good (it can be as simple as adding a Wikify template at the top of the article and give people time to edit the article into a notable article). Finally, as stated prior, it would be a great idea to use your own login as opposed to the shared IP as your edits would be under less scrutiny. Good luck and have fun as you go. Morning277 (talk) 00:49, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Logical fallacies? And please, I agree that "blanking without an explanation is vandalism". However, as explained above and in the edit summary, there ARE COMPLETELY VALID AND UNCONTESTED policy based reasons to convert from unsourced myspace fanpage to a redirect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.86.226.16 (talk) 01:03, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Issue dropped. You can have the last word if you wish, but I am offering you constructive feedback that you don't seem to want it. Here is a link for you since you had a question?. [| Logical Fallacy] Also, please sign any future posts. Finally, as familiar as you represent yourself to be with notability, how much of an attempt to you make at the following?

"If an article fails to cite sufficient sources to demonstrate the notability of its subject, look for sources yourself, or:

• Ask the article's creator or an expert on the subject for advice on where to look for sources.
• Put the {{notability}} tag on the article to alert other editors.
• If the article is about a specialized field, use the {{expert-subject}} tag with a specific WikiProject to attract editors knowledgeable about that field, who may have access to reliable sources not available online." Morning277 (talk) 01:21, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

The 2010 WikiCup begins tomorrow!

Welcome to the biggest WikiCup Wikipedia has yet seen! Round one will take place over two months, and finish on February 26. There is only one pool, and the top 64 will progress. The competition will be tough, as more than half of the current competitors will not make it to round 2. Details about scoring have been finalized and are explained at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. Please make sure you're familiar with the scoring rules, because any submissions made that violate these rules will be removed. Like always, the judges can be reached through the WikiCup talk pages, on their talk page, or over IRC with any issues concerning anything tied to the Cup. We will keep in contact with you via weekly newsletters; if you do not want to receive them, please remove yourself from the list here. Conversely, if a non-WikiCup participant wishes to receive the newsletters, they may add themselves to that list. Well, enough talk- get writing! Your submission's page is located here. Details on how to submit your content is located here, so be sure to check that out! Once content has been recognized, it can be added to your submissions page, from which our bot will update the main score table. Remember that only articles worked on and nominated during the competition are eligible for points. Have fun, and good luck! Garden, iMatthew, J Milburn, and The ed17 19:21, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
