subst: when using TestTemplates edit

I was just about to warn a user that you had previously warned, but you snuck in and warned him just ahead of me. =) Nice catch. However, I noticed that you don't always subst: when you issue warnings. You should always subst: when using the TestTemplates. -- Gogo Dodo 20:09, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re your message: No worries. =) I missed the policy the first time, too. I believe there are couple of bots running that will find your warnings and change them to subst: so there is no need for you to fix the old warnings. If you really get into vandal fighting (it looks like you are), you might look into some of the tools that are available. I personally use popups and ARV, but there are many tools out there. -- Gogo Dodo 20:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks edit

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my User page. =) -- Gogo Dodo 20:50, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

You're welcome ;-) - Myanw 20:53, 26 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re your message: Just a little payback. =) That was an odd article. Normally you don't see such odd edits last for a couple of days. I think it was the obscurity of the topic that caused the long delay in cleaning things up. -- Gogo Dodo 06:39, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

see proof before reverting! edit

do not start reverting war!

I replied on your talk page User talk:71.99.115.10 - Myanw 16:44, 28 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Myanw, I added some content to this page re Hidenburg and Robert Myers keps reverting it. H ehas previously had nil to do with this page but has previously been vandalising multiple pages I have put posts on. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.1 (talkcontribs) .

Hello, can I ask you to sign your message next time? Thanks - Regarding your edits on Battle of the Hindenburg Line my problem is that the name of the Australian captain is not relevant IMHO, is he notable enough to be named in Wikipedia? If you can prove he is, I'll have no further objection - Cheers - Myanw 12:24, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes he is not just about that he led that attack but that he also wrote many of the unit histories for the Australian Forces in WW1 and is archived in our National war museum as well as in the Battye Archives in Perth. He was also awarded an Order of Leopold (Knighthood) and Croix de Guerre for his actions in France and the Hindenburg battles. He was a noted Journalist and War Correspondent and was mentioned multiple times in the official Australian history of WW1 by Australia's official war historian. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.1 (talkcontribs) .

Ok then, I suppose you already tried to create an entry for this man? If not, try to do that first and don't forget not to do any personnal attack, even if I understand you may feel frustrated by the reverts, you'd rather bring a request for arbitration instead - Myanw 12:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I can't because whatever I post here, Robert Myers or Atktos or longhair, delete. I thought the rules here were that everyone can post stuff. I have been amazed by the aggro from some admins here and how they get away with totally vandalising pages. If I try and put anything up for Cyril Longmore here it will just get taken straight down. It is ridiculous. Its not that I feel frustrated. I am under constant personal attack by the three above people. Is that how wik runs? Note the tone below re "The IP is the same Anon". I have not been blocked at all the last week. If that is because I avoid reading messages they send me, that is because the first couple I read my computer security disconnected me from wik and when I logged back on, my remote access had been changed enabling access into my computer by anyone. (i.e. there was something in the messages that my computer security objected to. As I am on a uni network of our largest Oz Uni I am obliged to not infect their system hence my computer security and my reluctance after the intrusions into my computer from wik to open many sites here that lead to the personal computers of other editors, especially given the attacks on me. There was some nonsense re me being on a uni server or something, (I am for the purpose of my communication with that uni but not for the purpose of me logging on to wik). My IP changes as I am on dial up Internet which resets regularly, not for any other reason. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.1 (talkcontribs) .

It appears that there's a pattern in common between the said blocked user and yourself in the way you edit articles, that's what leads certain contributers to consider the both of you to be one single individual, if you're indeed the said blocked user, I advise you to cool down and wait for the end of your blocking period, if you're not, please post a request for arbitration and try to sort things out peacefully (and please, one more time, try to sign your messages on talk pages, it's not difficult, you know just under the "show changes" button, there's a "sign your name" thingy, try clicking on that ^^) --Myanw 13:16, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I TOTALLY ADMIT THE ABOVE ROBERT MYERS AS YOU KNOW I DO. IT WAS TO TEACH U SOME EMPATHY AND RESPECT. DID IT WORK? ISNT IT A REAL PAIN WHEN SOMEONE DOES THAT TO STUFF U HAVE SPENT AGES ON TYPING IN. WIKIPEDIA IS NOT ABOUT YOU AND YOUR EGO BELEIVE IT OR NOT, IT IS ABOUT GETTING THIS INFO UP HERE IN AS GOOD AND CORRECT A MANNER AS POSSIBLE. IT IS NOT ABOUT SLANGING RACIST COMMENTS AT HIGHLY REGARDED AUSTRALIAN INDIGENOUS ELDERS OR FIGHTING WITH ME OR POSTING UP MAJOR INACCURACIES JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE MADE ERRORS IN BOOKS, BUT ABOUT THE PREVIOUS. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.190 (talkcontribs) .

SO I AM TO NOT LOG ON TO THE INTERNET EVER TO PLEASE YOU? ONCE SOMEONE TRIED TO GET ME TO STAY WITHIN MY GATE AS I OFFENDED THEM AND THEY JUST GOT OFF MULTIPLE S.9 BONDS. THEY ENDED UP GOING TROPPO AS THEY WERE ARE ALCOHOLIC AND THEIR MIND WAS STARTING TO CONK OUT. IF I LOG BACK ON TO THE INTERNET WHEN I GET HOME FROM BEING OUT, OR TO DO SOME MORE UNI WORK, I WILL. THAT IS NOT TO YOU TO TRY AND REGULATE. IF YOU HAVE COMPLAINTS WITH DIAL UP INTERNET CONNECTIONS, DISCUSS THEM WITH THE OZ TELCO REGULATOR. I HAVE MY DIALUP AS ITS ALL I CAN AFOFRD PLUS I HAVE THIS THING ABOUT REVERSE ENGINEERING. DONT U THINK YOU ARE BEIGN A BIT UNREASONABLE? IF YOU STOP FIGHTING THERE WONT BE BLOCKS.

Sorry dear, but in the URL you provided, nothing was said regarding the contribution of Cryril Longmore in the Battle of the Hindenburg Line --Myanw 14:12, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Yes there is...open the url then there are two clicks from that. That is how that archive works. That url takes u as far a syou can go then the clicks open pop ups as that is how it works. Its a uni archive open tot he public. I will open it then put here what to click —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:203.54.9.190 (talkcontribs) .

Now someone is deleting what I put here. Smart eh.

The URL is:

That takes u to a page with 'Correspondence of Cyril Longmore' underlined on it. Click that.

That takes u to a page with a white arrow on red circle. Click that.

A page opens up with a document icon in top left corner. Click that.

The 24 pages of letters then appear.

I went back and he had reverted it again. This is the citation at end of page on my version.

Note the letters are in John Curtins file so Curtins

That first letter is to Minister for Information (Intelligence) who was also a Western Front hero so he would have known what Cyril did.

Also letter in there to Bean, and one from bean (official war recordist)

Heaps records at Battye Library (LISWA).


  • Okay, here's the transcription of what I read :

« (...) I served abroad with the 44th Batallion, A.I.F., as a machinegun officer and company commander, and was engaged in a front line capacity in every major and most of the minor operations in which the battalion participated. For a period I was adjutant and in the final fight for the Hindenburg Line acted as second-in-command and was in charge of the front line troops. (...) »

It seems rather conclusive to me --Myanw 15:06, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I see nothing about about him bering from Gundagai however. I will let others look in to it. -- RobertM 15:10, 29 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

He is on the Gundagai Cenotaph. To be put on a cenotaph you be born at thta place. However, though I know Cyril was born here, he is down as being born in Melb. and his name was changed from Andrew, to Cyril. (He had rheumatic fever as a kid plus his dad was violent so they changed details a bit.) His Mum made him 3 yars younger than he was and changed his name so he had a chance at getting a job. Rheumatic Fever affects your heart so on paper, he wasnt a good employment prospect till he had an ID change. Hi s brother had his head shot off at Quinns Post at Gallipoli so Cyril decided he was going OS too. The army hadnt let him go as he was their top gunnery instructor. He threatened army he would find another id and enlist under that name if they didnt let him go. In reality he is Andrew Longmore, but offically he is Cyril Longmore. He is on our cenotaph under the Cyril name but notes re his letters from the Somme back to Gundgaai etc id him as Andrew Longmore. (His father was also Andrew hence that name change re the violence.) I dont say he was born here though I know he was. He was very much from here. Not in Butchers book, his brother is.

"An ex Gundagai man, Lieutenant C Longmore, writing from France to his Aunt, Mrs Ern Brooke of Thuddugra, says he is with his Lewis machine gun section in the firing line in France." 'Gundagai Independent' 8 August, 1917.

We dont get our military history wrong as we are an adf family.

From his war record:

Order of Leopold, Chevalier, Conferred by His Majesty, King of the Belgiums CAG 9/18 MO42/18

Croix de Guerre, Conferred by His Majesty, The King of the Belgiums, Captain Cyril Longmore.

The above has been promulgated in The Commonwealth of Australia Gazette, No. 110, dated 25th July, 1918.

WikiProject Belgium edit

Bonjour, On a pris l'initiative de créer WikiProject Belgium, si vous voulez contribuer vous êtes vraiment bienvenu!Pour le moment, on craint un peu que nous manquions des contribueurs Wallons et Francophones... Pour le moment, tous ceux qui sont inscrits, sont des Flamands (=Belges néerlandophones). On ne veut pas donner l'impression que ce soit une organisation pro-Flamande qui veut contrôler tout ce qui concerne la Belgique:), c'est donc pour ça qu'on veut inviter les francophones tout de suite. On voudrait y travailler en anglais.

Donc si vous en avez envie, ajoutez votre nom sur ce liste! Evilbu 23:00, 1 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

Please consider also warning vandals edit

Thank you for reverting vandalism on Wikipedia. Could you also please consider using our vandal warning system [1]? First offenses get a "test1," then a "test2," followed by a "test3" and "test4." At the end of this, if the vandal persists, he or she merits blocking for a period of time. If you do this, it will greatly help us in decreasing vandalism on Wikipedia. Much thanks, -- Kukini 19:19, 5 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Please don't issue final warnings to users when it's clear they have made 1 edit to Wikipedia, although it may appear their only edit was likely to be disruptive. You may not be aware of the {{blatantvandal}} template, which is handy for such cases. Perhaps take a read over Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers and Wikipedia:Assume good faith to see my reasons why it's not such a good idea to chase the vandals away on little evidence of repeat disruption. -- Longhair\talk 08:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Apologies, I read the warning quickly, and it is indeed a level 3 warning. Sorry for that. You're doing the right thing, don't take me the wrong way, and any assistance in giving vandals a warning or three is always appreciated.
Sometimes vandals will stop before we bring out the harsh words like blocking. With Schapelle Corby back in the news in Australia of late, the vandals may very well be connected and acting in concert, or they're simply lone vandalistic idiots hitting mainsteam news-related articles for a thrill. Keep up the struggle though. All I really wanted to let you know was the {{bv}} template often stops them in their tracks and sends a clear message once and for all to stop, or be stopped.

Question Jewellery Vs. Jewelry edit

Dear Myanw,

I am emailing about your recent edit of the Jewellery category. I personally have no issue with it as I am aware there are 2 different spellings and for me, it is not a problem. However, I do feel we are having a siginifcant issue here on WP about the English VS. American spelling and I feel I have a good case to revert to the American Spelling. So - here it is. I am a graduate student at Bard here in US. I have read and researched literally hundreds of published titles on this topic. To that aim, I am endeavoring to beef up this category and help WP. However, in the act of reading many titles over many years, I have come to conclude that the American spelling is more dominent in published works on this topic. I don't have a reasoning behind why, I just know that it is so. Because of this, I feel it is neccesary to switch back to the American spelling. Even though in OED, it is jewellery, in every major book on this topic with the exception of one that is published in UK, it is spelled jewelry. For example - see what is know as "the bible on jewelry," the title is: Jewelry Concepts & Technology by Oppi Untracht. The selling used is jewelry. Another example: On Amazon, you type in both. For jewelry there are 83,868 Results, for Jewellery, there are 18,151 Results - that is a significant difference in published works. I am more than happy to provide a complete bibliography if need be, but in the interest of being user friendly, I ask that you consider this and let me know what you think. Thanks, Archie, archimartinArchiemartin

Personal attacks as in Chris Helland edit

I noticed your warning regarding the personal attack in Chris Helland, good work. I'm wondering about starting to use this template Template:Uw-npa4im on such vicious personal attack as this one. These are clearly in accordance with "Level 4im - Assumes bad faith; strong cease and desist, only warning". I'd wanted to check with a more experienced user as youself. All the best, Kon-Tiki001 09:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Recent Vandalism to the Atoka, Oklahoma article edit

I don't know who else to report this to, but there was some vandalism done to the article on Atoka, Oklahoma. I took the liberty of reverting this vandalism. These are the vandals: 71.153.176.2, and Chetlatham. I cannot do anything about it since I'm not an administrator. However, I assume you can inform the appropriate people. Thanks!
