WP:ITN/C and WWI wikiproject

Thanks for the support at the ITN/C nomination I made. It has been a long time since I posted there, so I'm not clear what the current norms are, but given that it was posted rather late and has received little attention so far, is there a way that it is acceptable to ask for more attention to be given to that nomination before it becomes too stale? I think the date sections are archived seven days after the are started, and that even if the nomination is supported it would be placed somewhere chronologically in the current listings (i.e. not at the top). Is that right? Even if it doesn't get posted, I'm hoping more people will help out with that topic area. I've posted something here if you are interested in helping out further. Carcharoth (talk) 10:42, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

There's still some time, but it's tough when the nom is way below the fold like that. The good news is that ITNC hasn't been super active lately, so at least it's not getting buried further by additional nominations. Unfortunately, I can't really thing of a good way to ask for more attention on this without veering into WP:CANVAS territory. Whatever happens, it was a solid idea. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:31, 10 August 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for this. I think the only people I can reasonably ping about this that I haven't already (the four editors I notified about this at WT:ITN/C who commented in the original discussion have not yet commented on the new nomination - not had time to check if they have edited since) are: User:Count Iblis (who made the original nomination that I followed up on) and User:Ktr101 (who has edited the article). Anyway, I have to rush off now as I need to catch a train. Hopefully more people will comment over the remaining day or so. Carcharoth (talk) 08:09, 10 August 2014 (UTC)

Mongolian Man Sockpuppetry

I have noticed you've blocked the accounts. Is it alright if I tag the user pages as sockpuppets or is that something to be left to the administrators? Please check WP:SPI for more info regarding the case as I have also reported Mongolian Woman. 電子888說|talk 14:07, 12 August 2014 (UTC)

why the removal???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Florida Everblades Hockey (talkcontribs) 16:37, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

The subject doesn't come close to meeting our notability requirements. --Bongwarrior (talk) 16:43, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

so how do i add credible sources and links to make it as you "quote on quote" say notable???? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Florida Everblades Hockey (talkcontribs) 16:54, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

If you have any you can add them to the talk page for now, provided they qualify as reliable. But be aware that a lack of notability isn't usually something that can be fixed through editing. --Bongwarrior (talk) 17:04, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

even if there is provided statistics of that player playing in different states and countries and mentioned on multiple hockey sites? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Florida Everblades Hockey (talkcontribs) 17:31, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Statistics don't count towards determining notability - we're looking for significant coverage. --Bongwarrior (talk) 17:36, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

Emblem3 album // "Tough Tides, Strong Bonds"

Hi I would just like to know where the information on this is coming from. The band has not stated anything about this so im just slightly confused about the fact its supposed to be released on this coming Friday. If you have anyplace that you have gotten this information please share. Lindaxo713 (talk) 05:21, 28 August 2014 (UTC)Linda(lindaxo713), 8/28/14

I have no idea; it was already present in the version of the article that I reverted to. After looking at it again, it does seem to be fake and I've removed it. Thank you for pointing it out. --Bongwarrior (talk) 06:20, 28 August 2014 (UTC)

Hey Bongwarrior, I don't get it. Isn't the article semi-protected? Then how does the Acura get to edit it? Drmies (talk) 18:38, 31 August 2014 (UTC)

  • This account just popped up: User:Mercedes-Benz GL-Class. Drmies (talk) 18:54, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Oops, sorry, just noticed your question. The article was (and is) semiprotected, but both accounts made enough junk userpage edits to put them above the autoconfirmed threshold. --Bongwarrior (talk) 09:39, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

Canada and Al Qaeda

Canada is Al Qaeda are opponents, but the Al Qaeda article doesn't say so. Al Qaeda has a history of trying to attack Canada, even though it's a minor priority for them. Hades173 (talk) 03:05, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

I don't have a strong opinion, but I guess that sounds reasonable. Maybe you should bring it up on the article's talk page first. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 03:15, 6 September 2014 (UTC)

Hey Bongwarrior. I've been seeing your name sporadically in the history of the articles I've been editing, so thought to give you a call. It's about ...And Justice for All, which is nominated for FA.

I'll be happy to take a look, but I've never participated in a FA review before. --Bongwarrior (talk) 02:29, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Can you please send me back my article that i wrote and you deleted for personal use. i understand it was said as being an "attack page" but me and melissa wrote it together as a joke and to have it sent back would be nice. i wont publish it anywhere i would just like it to be sent back. or if you cant do that if there is somehow you can undo the action and have me copy it i would surely delete it afterwards thank you.

Please see Wikipedia:Autobiography and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. It isn't exactly forbidden to write about yourself, but it's a really really bad idea and it inevitably results in a poor article.

If I am looking at things correctly, you deleted an offensive user name, but left the vile text and edit summaries, and for some reason, it's not allowing me to delete them. They need to go. LadyofShalott 06:11, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

It's related to oversight, I think. My revdels were for the two most recent edits before protection, and shouldn't have affected those edits. Or maybe there's a bug in the software. Either way, I can't delete them either, but an oversighter should be able to fix it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 07:53, 22 November 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for caring

Hello, no I understand, I'm just trying to edit a funny thing, it will only be up for a day or two, I was reading one of Alex's tweets and he said he would love to see anyone vandalize his Wikipedia, I was hoping I could keep this up, at least till he reads it, would that be ok? I appreciate you caring about keeping the page non-vandalized, I'm just hoping I can keep this up till he reads it, it shouldn't be up long, I don't mind if you say no though UnitadoSwag (talk) 02:10, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

I understand

Hello, I'm sorry I'm quite new to Wikipedia, I just wanted to make an account just for this, Alex Hirsch himself said it would be amazing if someone vandalized his Wikipedia, I was planning to undo all the fake info once he read the entry. I was hopping you could just leave the info up another day, just until he sees it. It is fine if you say no, I won't yell, I was just hopping maybe I could make Alex laugh a little. I appreciate you caring for the Wikipedia info it is nice to know people will have a hard time vandalizing things. I hope I didn't make you mad :) have a nice night UnitadoSwag (talk) 02:23, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

No problem, we're cool, but I can't intentionally leave the article vandalized like that. Even if I did leave it alone, someone else would come along and remove it fairly quickly. If you'd like to try to show him the edits you made, they are still visible in the edit history of the article. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 02:54, 25 November 2014 (UTC)

Deletion discussion about Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Nevada

Hello, Bongwarrior,

I wanted to let you know that there's a discussion about whether it should be deleted. Your comments are welcome.

If you're new to the process, articles for deletion is a group discussion (not a vote!) that usually lasts seven days. If you need it, there is a guide on how to contribute. Last but not least, you are highly encouraged to continue improving the article; just be sure not to remove the tag about the deletion nomination from the top. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:306:CE9A:860:5CC9:FA2F:BEE7:E722 (talk) 19:22, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Just a little question

Hi, Bongwarrior. Why does your user page always get vandalised? Have you offended people, or is it just because you are popular? I mean, I never heard of you before, but figured out your page is vandalised very often. Why don't you put/request a semi-protected lock with NO expiry date? It does the best to you. DEW. Adrenaline (Nahnah4) 04:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't think there's any great like or dislike at work here. Historically speaking, I've done a decent amount of vandal reverting, so any userpage vandalism is usually payback for being blocked or reverted by me. I'm an admin, so I suppose that sometimes makes me a bigger target as well. I usually keep my userpage unprotected unless the vandalism is unmanageable, on the basis that any damage is easily repaired and I'd rather they wreck my mostly-blank userpage than an actual article. When I was more active it was a lot worse, but right now it's about once or twice per month, I think, which isn't even worth worrying about. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:25, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

If people think it's disruptive they can ignore it, the only one being disruptive is you taking down peoples edits, all I did was add my self to a page of peoples names what's so bad about that. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonymus1029384756 (talkcontribs) 02:09, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Block of Idekmiky

Hi, Bongwarrior! I noticed your block or Idekmiky (talk · contribs). Did you consider talking to the user first? I see no warning on the user page that would help this user improve their editing skills.

I presume you blocked them because of this edit, which is indeed bad, but which can be seen as OR, with a little bit of AGF. A few other edits aren't quite following our guidelines, but they all appear in good faith, and most of them are still the current version. (Excluding one where the user correctly found a problem, but didn't quite know how to fix. In fact, I became aware of the block when I wanted to thank and instruct them.)

WP:BLOCK sets the criterion as follows: "a user may be blocked when his or her conduct severely disrupts the project". Do you feel this was the case? — Sebastian 07:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

The user's other edits were trivial, made only so they could gain autoconfirmed status and vandalize the Louis Tomlinson article, which is semiprotected indefinitely (note that they made exactly ten other edits and waited exactly four days). Given that they demonstrated some familiarity with Wikipedia procedures and a willingness to circumvent them, and also given that they were tag-teaming the article with a like-minded individual, I was (and am) comfortable with issuing an immediate block. --Bongwarrior (talk) 21:06, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

just a quick question

I'm a little confused. I've seen a lot of people blocked for username violations whose names were far tamer than yours. Yours seems to constitute a blatant endorsement of illegal drug abuse. Why didn't they make you change it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 107.77.85.25 (talk) 21:38, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

It's about as offensive or disruptive as a name like "Jaywalker" would be. If even less problematic usernames are indeed being blocked, then that's the problem. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:24, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
That is a good point. I think there have been some on the level of yours or even less bothersome that have been blocked.

Super Bowl XLII

Noticed the edit you made for Super Bowl XLII on the team introductions has been deleted altogether. What's the proper way to cite something like that?

Americanhero24 (talk) 22:47, 4 February 2015 (UTC) anericanhero24

Well, it was removed for being a little too trivial in addition to being unsourced. I'd tend to agree with the trivial part, but I don't have a particularly strong opinion either way. There are several templates you can use to add references - {{cite news}} is the one I use most often, but there are others. Just copy and paste the template at the end of whatever needs referencing, fill out as many of the fields as you can, and leave out the ones you don't need. In your preferences, there are also a few gadgets you can enable to make referencing a little easier. Take care. --Bongwarrior (talk) 04:32, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Oh my goodness, my mistake putting the comment on the user page! It was late and I must have been tired. I understand your removal from that location. I will place it on the talk page for Jimmy's response. You are absolutely correct about the article's strong anti-WP antagonism. This antagonism is apparently mutual, as a variety of WP editors have attacked Natural News along with other major Natural Health websites as quackery, woo, pseudoscience, etc. None of this is the point. This Natural News article contains documentation within that is backing up what they are saying. The piece is a strong indictment. It belongs in view of the WP community and Jimmy Wales needs to deal with it. If the piece is untruthful, it must be publicly refuted. If there is no acceptable defense, what would you suggest the WP community do?--Pekay2 (talk) 01:52, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

tea party movement

Hello Sir.Some democrats are seriously vandalizing the tea party movement page. I do not mean to offend you if you are a democrat yourself. They have taken over the page and changing it to extreme left wing fringe opinions.


The third paragraph of the intro was this for over 9 months: The origins of the current Tea Party movement can be traced back to circa 2007. The movement's beginnings were kick-started by Republican Congressman Dr. Ron Paul in 2007. His GOP presidential campaign received a 24-hour, record breaking, money bomb on December 16, 2007;[22] which is the 234th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. This event directly contributed to creating a libertarian revival and divide in the Republican Party.[23][24][25] Ron Paul continues to be a prominent force in the Tea Party movement, such as endorsing Tea party candidates,[26] and also giving talks and speeches alongside prominent Tea party activist, and 2008 Vice Presidential candidate, Sarah Palin.[27][28]


Someone when an agenda just changed it to: In 2002, the first Tea Party movement website was designed and published by Citizens for a Sound Economy and stated "our US Tea Party is a national event, hosted continuously online and open to all Americans who feel our taxes are too high and the tax code is too complicated."[22][23][24] According to Fox News Channel commentator Juan Williams, the Tea Party movement emerged from the "ashes" of Ron Paul's 2008 presidential primary campaign.[25] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catsmeow8989 (talk • contribs) 07:50, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

At the very least the part about the Koch bros making the first tea party website in 2002 should be removed in my opinion. Anyone can claim their website is a "tea party" website. There really isn't any evidence to support the claim that the Koch Brothers made the first tea party website in 2002. I recommend a review of this claim because it's in the main introduction and i can find ZERO evidence. Catsmeow8989 Catsmeow8989 (talk) 08:56, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi, welcome. The best place to hash this out is the article's talk page - there's not really a whole lot I can do to help you out with this. You might get the result you're looking for, or you might not. Such is Wikipedia, such is life. --Bongwarrior (talk) 17:02, 30 May 2015 (UTC)

Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner biography

Hello, I wanted to make a couple of remarks about this biography. I noticed that when you google Bruce Jenner there are no wikipedia results to show. I know there is a way of keeping the original name of the person (so it appears as a result in a search), and the Wikipedia will redirect you to the new version. I wanted to know if that could be done (I don't know how to do it myself). The other thing is a request (I don't know where am I suppose to address it, really): Is it possible that the article keeps the masculine article for the parts of Jenner's biography when he was identifying himself as a male? I mean, have you read the new version? It simply doesn't make sense to say that "she won the decathlon", among others things because "She" wouldn't have been allowd to compete in a masculine-only event. The writing is simply incorrect (at least from a gramatical point of view). I get why it was done (respect for his present gender identification), but considering that this person has done a lot of things as a male, it would be preferable if the gender is keep masculine until 2015 (at least when you mention his olympic medal, or his marriages to women). I hope you can help me present this as a topic in Wikipedia. The article, as it stands now, is really hard to read. Also, forgive my English (Spanish as mother lenguaje here, hello). Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Inés Ifrán (talkcontribs) 01:46, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Your English is better than mine! I'm not noticing the Google problem that you mention - the article still comes up as the first listing for me, so maybe it was a temporary issue that has since been fixed. About the he/she issue, according to the relevant guideline (MOS:IDENTITY), we defer to the subject's preference for the entire article. Which, as you point out, can make for some awkward and illogical phrasing, but the article has been very active today after Jenner's announcement and is still in a state of flux. It might take a little time, but I'd expect any grammar issues or logical inconsistencies to be straightened out shortly. --Bongwarrior (talk) 04:15, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

A kitten for you!

Protection

While I know you are trying to help, please let me manage the protection level of my talk page while I am actively editing. --Guerillero | Parlez Moi 06:41, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

I apologize for not asking first or letting you handle it, but as you can see I've had to work pretty quickly. Fun seems to be over for now. --Bongwarrior (talk) 07:01, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

Your talk page

Hello,

Just to let you know I've had to protect your talk page. As you can see from the history, it has been subject to some vandalism from sock puppets. I checked and you didn't appear to be online so I've locked it for one day to prevent further damage. Feel free to unprotect it earlier if you feel it's necessary.--5 albert square (talk) 23:27, 3 June 2015 (UTC)

And now the same for your user page :)--5 albert square (talk) 23:34, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks very much, I had assumed he would have run out of energy by now. --Bongwarrior (talk) 23:56, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
Pity he doesn't use his energy for something productive. Imagine how many cite-errors one could fix in the time he spends creating new socks... AddWittyNameHere (talk) 00:16, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
You would think that they would have a life to lead. Or use their time constructively on Wikipedia fixing things like cite-errors, deadlinks etc etc.--5 albert square (talk) 00:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
I suppose he's intent on proving us he doesn't have a life. Oh, and [1] in case neither of you has seen the newest yet. AddWittyNameHere (talk) 00:21, 4 June 2015 (UTC)
I'm amazed they've not targeted the anti-vandal bot.--5 albert square (talk) 00:25, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Not like that would be any more successful than what he's doing now. He gets maybe two-three edits in which are both reverted within minutes before he's blocked again. Tsk, pity I don't have editcountitis, this would be good for my resume. :P AddWittyNameHere (talk) 00:28, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

We have a new User:Hum1969-IPsock on our hands as well. [2] AddWittyNameHere (talk) 00:34, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Your Talk Header

Hi,

Just wondering if you would mind if I used/adapted your header template on my own page. It's a good overview of the purpose of the page and my intents also. Tris1313 (talk) 00:28, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Not at all, do whatever you'd like with it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:33, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
Thanks! I noticed also that your page is part of this, which might be worth fixing. Not sure though; I'm fairly unfamiliar with these sorts of issues. Tris1313 (talk) 00:36, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
I don't think that's anything major, but I just removed the template that was probably doing it. --Bongwarrior (talk) 00:49, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for your help on my Talk subpage and on WT:JUDAISM. I'm sorry that my "friend" turned on you. Thanks again. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 05:48, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

No problem, I'm sorry you have to put up with that. --Bongwarrior (talk) 05:50, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

A pie for you!
