You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Mischa Barton. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. Q T C 03:01, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

We are Mischa Bartons representation, trying to make informed factual updates to this page why would you make nonsensical reversions when we have hardly got past the first line??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maniainc (talkcontribs) 03:30, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

I have protected this page due to edit warring between you, Maniainc, OverlordQ and JetLover. You and Maniainc have both broken 3RR, and you should really know better. You should also know better than to use your rollback tool in a dispute. I'm not blocking you or anyone else, but I was very close to doing so. Stifle (talk) 09:29, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Pop Punk Bands

Hello,

I have noticed that you continually and persitently keep editing the pop punk band list to include Paramore on it. Can i categorically state that Paramore are not a pop punk band and i would appreciate it if you would cease and desist editing information you clearly have no idea about. If it is the case of you editing just to get your little tracker up then this is even worse. Either way stop undoing what i do, as unlike you i actually know about this particular subject.

Thanks and Regards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.98.130.102 (talk) 00:09, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey

Ah, it's me again. I'm a former IP, the one who noticed the Wayne Static page a while back. Anyways, I've got a question. I have a friend of mine who wants to start a bona fide username on Wikipedia. The only problem is, his idea is DethLeppard666. He wanted me to ask you to check it out. Not sure if that works here on Wikipedia. That's actually my Youtube account name, but I told him that if Wikipedia would accept it, it was his. I like my name enough. Hope to hear from you soon!

Breshna Orya

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Breshna Orya, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Breshna Orya.

I know you can run html stuff on your own computer without uploading it on the internet, so I'm looking for something similar, but with wiki software. Do you know how to do such a thing and if not, do you know someone who can help me out on that? Thanks ;) AmandaT/C 22:27, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, GlassCobra, thanks for voting in my RfA, which passed with 47 supports (I hoped for a perfect square, but two away is close enough!), 3 opposes (the first odd prime), and 0 neutrals. I'm glad the community has decided to trust me with the mop and bucket (the flamethrower isn't supported). Of course, special thanks goes to my nominators Auawise and that one guy who buried stuff (not that the thanks I give to the you isn't special!). If you ever need a hand with something, or just want to say hello, tough feel free to drop a line! Best wishes, Nousernamesleftcopper, not wood 23:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

This doesn't even vaguely resemble a mop, but I couldn't find a picture of one.

Thank-you soooo much for your help...

can you please let us know if there are ANY problems which might get this page - jim bailey entertainer -deleted?

Can we change female impersonator and leave it as actor singer comedian or add impressionist or anything else?.

I put sources on but they are gone? is this a problem? can the links because these they are more thorough

website myspace/jimbaileyentertainer imdb youtube/jimbaileyarchives myspace/jimbaileyillusionist —Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamkieffert (talkcontribs)

Sources have to be independent of the subject. The myspace and youtube links don't really meet that criterion, although a link to IMDB credits probably shouldn't have been deleted. Psu256 (talk) 20:17, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

JIM BAILEY ENTERTAINER PAGE

Thanks again for your help....I wish we could understand this better...can i call you briefly

We got your message about issue with photos.

The photos are all owned by Jim bailey and myself including the carnegie hall record cover because Jim and I purchased all rights to this and plan on re-release. I'm his business manager and co owner of his company if you check his website i'm the contact. As for the other photos alot of them I took personally and the others Jim gets ownership of as part of the agreement when you do a performance.

william kieffert is helping us with the page.

Is it possible for us to choose the links i.e. the official page on myspace is jimbailey entertainer not jimbaileyillusionist. --Campbellman222 (talk) 23:27, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Can you tell me how to put back in some of Jim Bailey's television and movie work... on other actors pages ive noticed they are more detailed. I wondered why alot of the stuff was deleted and I thought maybe it should be verified.It can either go in the body of the page or at the bottom.Can you give me an idea of which of the following can or cannot be put in.--Campbellman222 (talk) 22:32, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Jim Bailey entertainer

Hello I am just curious as to why you say that I should not be editing the article on Jim Bailey when I am the one who created it. I have created this article at the request of many Wikipedia users who wish to have "Factual" information on Mr Bailey, and I feel that my contribution is non biased. Although I am an acting agent for Mr Bailey, I have been asked by his publisists and managers to create such a page. I have published many articles,(Not neccessarily pertaining to Mr. Bailey) from a non biased stand Point. I am a translator for Airbus Industrie in Toulouse, France and have produced and translated many articles for them, always from a non biased stand point, even though I believe wholeheartedly in the product which I am representing. I think that all of us here on Wikipedia are passionate about the subject matter that we turn into a Wiki Page. Otherwise, we would not be creating it.

I do however want to thank you for the help and support that you have given me in this endeavor, for without it I would be totally lost!!! This is my first Wiki contribution, and it has been trying to say the least. I just want to support my subject matter the best that I can.

Once again, I thank you for your guidance and look forward to any feedback that you have. Respectfully, William Kieffert —Preceding unsigned comment added by Williamkieffert (talkcontribs) 21:30, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I need guidance in some disputes over at Flyleaf. There are four referances that clearly state that they are a chirstian band, but Flyleaf 833 insists on changing the genre again and again, without an edit summary or replying to the very lengthy discussions in the talk page.

I have reason to believe that User:Frost2k2 is a sockpuppet of User:Flyleaf 833. Evidence at Flyleaf.

flyleaf

I am a bit confused, I first thought the same rules applied to everyone. I didn't realize that during an edit war one side was blocked and the other was told to keep up the good work. I will admit that I am new to wikipedia, but certainly not new to Flyleaf. The fact that someone like you is allowed to be an administrator really makes me lose faith in Wikipedia. How can you support the Christian Rock genre knowing it can not be properly sourced? The sources for that say nothing more than they are Christians, not a Christian band. I have seen them in concert three times now, they are always introduced as alternative rock or metal. I their official webpage their is a direct quote of lacey's saying they deal with the 'Christian band' thing and that she doesn't know the answer. She says if them being Christians make them a Christian band than she guesses they are. That in no form or fashion suggests they are a Christian rock band. Do you know anything about Flyleaf? Several of their songs have nothing to do with God or any form of Christianity. You ppl keep making the first sentence of the artice "flyleaf is a Christian alternative metal or Christian Band. neither are even musical genres. If they are a Christian rock band why do they not put that on their website or myspace. Why is it that everywhere they sell or promote their music their genre is listed as either alternative rock or metal. I can see where the article needs to say that some ppl label them a Christian band because they are Christians and is the fuel for what they do, but certainly not have that mere interpretation listed before what they consider themselves to be. I am in my third year of surgical residency, so when I do an appendectomy is not a normal appendectomy, but a Christian appendectomy? Because I am a Christian, and it did and does inspire me in what I do. How in the world did you become an administrator. The person that engaged in the war with me is still reverting the genre to suit her own beliefs. What exactly is the criteria for being thanked instead of blocked? You are a joke, and a disgrace to wikipedia. I know that wikipedia is your entire life and all you do, but you suck at the administrative role. Administrators should be fair to everyone. An administrator worth their salt would block both participants in an edit war, not just the one that goes against their personal opinion. Once again, you are a disgrace and a joke. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyleaf 833 (talkcontribs) 00:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I don't really think you are a joke. I just don't understand why you would block me, and thank the other person. They were guilty as well. You block me, then post on her talk page to come get you if I do it again. That just hardly seems fair to me. The same rules should apply to everyone. She reverted the same thing over a dozen times, I didn't see you block her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyleaf 833 (talkcontribs) 01:48, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Flyleaf article

I have been attempting to resolve the genre dispute on the Flyleaf article, but the revert war rages on. The two biggest offenders appear to be Hoponpop69 and ElisaEXPLOSiON. They are simply ignoring the discussion on the Talk page, to which most of the editors have chipped in, sometimes thoughtfully, sometimes not. (These two also leave very rude comments on my talk page any time I switch the genre back to alt rock and alt metal.) We had this dispute settled months ago. I'd like to keep it that way, honestly. No new sources are backing up their claims, but they ignore that fact. I think we need an admin to resolve this dispute, or to at least block these two until they calm down.
