Rollbacker

I have granted rollback rights to your account. After a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback and Wikipedia:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, contact me and I will remove it. Good luck and thanks. 17:59, 26 January 2015 (UTC)– Gilliam (talk)

A welcome surprise. Thank you for the reconsideration and the opportunity. RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 18:00, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

The guy with the strange name (CoachCumming) is pretty obviously a vandal only account. He deleted at least one warning before your two. John from Idegon (talk) 02:43, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

True but I was unsure about how to process it given the likely sockpuppet aspect so decided to file it as a sock to cover my bases. RegistryKey^(RegEdit)

db-nonsense

You tagged Create fire breathing dragon as nonsense ({{db-nonsense}}). The article is not nonsense, it is just written in Bosnian. Articles are specifically not eligible for speedy deletion under WP:CSD#G1 solely for not being written in English. In this case, however, a quick run through Google translate shows this article to be about a kid who plays soccer, so WP:CSD#A7 ({{db-person}}) applies. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 19:06, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

I did the same before tagging it, but didn't catch the soccer bit because of the rough translation I got, hence it looked like gibberish to me. Thanks for catching that difference! RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 19:09, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

That was interesting!

I was in the process of nominating The duke of Weselton for deletion. As I was doing it, you made it into a redirect to Frozen (2013 film). Then when I submitted my AfD nom, it was placed on the Frozen page! I guess I need to be faster on my XfD work... :) --Drm310 (talk) 22:32, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Correcting your error.

I corrected your error in undoing my CORRECTION of the Illinois State page. The deleted portion is wrong and/or outdated.

For example, the statement "In the Washington Monthly and Forbes Magazine lists, Ill St is ranked among the combined top private and public universities in America." is as baffling in that the current ranking (247 out of 281) in the Washington Monthly is the highest that has ever been attained and it is among the lowest given out. On top of that Ill St has ALWAYS been the lowest ranked Public University in Illinois on that list.

The other information should be self-explanatory in that it references SELECTED past years. The Rankings section is supposed to be a "look-in" at the current time.

I appreciate you trying to help, but your edit was, even if well intentioned, wrong.

Thank you.

Fair enough. The reason I removed it was because you never said why in your first removal that you made said change. This message coupled with the subsequent re-add is enough for me. Thanks! RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 00:16, 1 February 2015 (UTC)

Help me!

Re Help!: Hi RegistryKey, can you please restore the page I requested help about? It is Osgoode Hall Law School.Paulydee (talk) 03:04, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Re: Help!: Ok, thanks for looking into it. I think it should be pointed out that while I have an interest in building that page (where is the crime??), this person has a malicious interest in diminishing it. They also changed something that they left on the page without themselves adding a citation, a change which on top of it all is incorrect and is clearly intended to make this law school look worse than it would with the correct information. They further are only doing so, with the abuse of the technicality you mention, to this law school page even though the opportunity exists on other pages. So, is anti-social destructive behavior tolerated over benign posts which are easily verified as accurate? That seems to be how the rules are applied. They could have just added "citation required" and over time the citations would be added. But instead, destroying the page is what is being promoted. There is additionally a strange political will in the community not only to support this person and but to suppress this page for some reason. There have been no efforts for example to correct the anti-social behavior of this redpendofdoom person or any suggestions for migrating the alumni list to its own page. I really hope you and others will simply address this objectively and restore the page or migrate the now strangely deleted list to another page. Where is the history for that page that was deleted? No attempts at finding a constructive solution that promotes social behavior have been made in this issue, which obviously favors whatever anti-social agenda the redpenofdoom troll has.Paulydee (talk) 03:48, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi RegistryKey, I am adding this because I wanted to make sure you know that I responded. As this is a case in which I am not fully able to act in the situation in question while the person I am in disagreement with has already disappeared half the page from the history, in the absence of other members' input I can't participate properly. Here is what I posted on my talk page:

"Hello RegistryKey and redpen: a) whatever history you (redpen) think you perceive that bothers you is irrelevant to how you should treat what was on that page, b) if additions to a page have a positive effect on the perception of the subject matter, that doesn't make them an advertisement, c) there was nothing inappropriate (or inaccurate) on that page, d) several parts of wikipedia guidance suggest that you should NOT delete content that is verifiable and that the proper behavior would be to improve the article by contributing rather than deleting, e) it specifically states in the wikipedia dispute resolution guide that you should NOT delete salvageable text, f) there is still no response regarding the fact that redpen unilaterally deletes huge chunks of pages including the history: where is that history and why does redpen apparently think s/he owns it? g) why is redpen's anti-social behavior going unaddressed and relatedly why has no one proposed some sort of constructive solution whereby the material is salvaged with citations and/or in some other page? h) Finally, I should add that not only does going on the 'talk' section of a subject page never seem to amount to anything (the posts are often totally unaddressed) but this situation is already well beyond that of arriving at any CONSENSUS since redpen has simply hijacked the page, disappeared the previous history and the salvageable text and added something inaccurate without a citation. This has all taken place without any attempt at resolving the problem in the interests of building wikipedia and all with apparent impunity within the wikipedia 'consensus' community. Why is this considered acceptable?"

Maybe you don't want to wade into this but does redpen's behavior look like a good faith edit? Even if we assumed it was it would still be contrary to the guidelines and the spirit of wikipedia. Thanks again for your input. Paulydee (talk) 19:39, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi again and thanks...but you can't seriously believe that redpen is in the right? Where is the history that was disappeared?? Why can't I just salvage it in a separate page about that school's alumni? No suggestions? Why? Paulydee (talk) 20:02, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Paulydee, article history doesn't disappear unless Suppressed by someone empowered with the tool. The history for the article you're concerned with can be found here. RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 20:10, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

This is to confirm that I have been properly identified by Wikipedia and that I wish to apply to join the ACC team. My diff can be found here. RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 01:29, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi, RK. Please add a signed statement below confirming that you have read, understand and will comply with the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy and the Request an Account Guide. I reviewed your application and history; everything looks good. Since the summer vacation season has begun, it may take a day or two to track down a tool root to set the flag that actually allows you to sign in to the ACC tool.

ACC tool access request approved

RegistryKey, thank you for your interest in the account creation process. I have verified that you are identified to the Wikimedia Foundation and approved your request.

You may now access the interface here pending a tool root marking your account as identified in the tool database. Before you begin handling requests, please ensure you have read and understood the account creation guide and username policy to familiarise yourself with the process.

Please subscribe yourself to the private ACC mailing list following the instructions on that page. I also advise that you also join us on IRC #wikipedia-en-accounts ^connect where a bot informs us when new account requests come in and you can get real time advice on how to handle requests.

Please note failure to correctly assess requests will result in suspension of tool access. Account creation is not a race, and each one should be handled diligently and thoroughly. Releasing personally identifying information (such as IP and email addresses), whether intentionally or unintentionally, is treated very seriously and will generally result in immediate suspension.

Currently you are allowed to create up to six accounts per day, and you won't be able to create an account with a similar name to that of another user; these requests are marked as "Flagged user needed" on the interface. However, if you reach the limit frequently, you can request the account creator permission at WP:PERM/ACC.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Again welcome!  DocTree (ʞlɐʇ·ʇuoɔ) WER 15:54, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

David Stove's manner of death

I am the son of David Stove, the philosopher who is the subject of a Wikipedia article. My recent attempt to make it clear that in June 1994 he hanged himself in the garden of his own home was somehow queried because there is no printed source for it. Please understand that as his son, I was one of the persons most intimately involved with the immediate aftermath of his suicide, and that I was telling the unvarnished truth about the manner of his death, whether or not the self-asphyxiation has been mentioned in print (I simply do not know whether it has been or not).

Greetings!! How are you this fine day?! Not normally how I talk, just in a good mood I guess... :-p Are you interested in joining forces to work together on some fire department pages? If you look at my main user page you will see just a few of the works in progress I have. I won't bore you with more details or explanations until I know you are actually interested, but if you are, would love to chat! On a personal note, I see you are a volunteer firefighter? Do you mind if I ask what part of the world/county? I know people like to maintain some anonymity on here so not fishing for details but would be very curious to hear about some of your experiences. Anyway, hope to talk soon! --Zackmann08 (talk) 23:18, 13 June 2015 (UTC)

Why the hell did you delete my page with?out contacting me first

I have no idea who you are but I was in the process of updating it. What is your real name? I would like to speak to you so that we may clear up this matter. Please to do not hide behind anonymity. If I don't hear from you I'll be referring this matter to our legal counsel and to Wikipedia management. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter.Mancini (talk • contribs) 16:19, 18 June 2015 (UTC)

Mr. Mancini, your page NASHCON was deleted by RHaworth, not me, because it does not specify in the article what makes the event notable. See WP:CCS for further information. Also note that as I am not an administrator, I personally do not have the capability to delete pages from Wikipedia, only recommend that they be removed if they are in violation of Wikipedia rules, the said recommendation is then reviewed by an administrator for final action. Also note that I do not appreciate your threats and I would caution you to read WP:NPA. RegistryKey^(RegEdit) 02:24, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Tfrost1975, as I am not an admin and your page has been deleted, I am unable to recover the content from it.

Ticket:2015101410004682

Hi RegistryKey - in future, for this type of request it is probably best to bring it to WP:OTRSN. The request for verification isn't confidential, and people with access to info-en-q don't necessarily have access to the queue where the specific ticket that concerns you resides. I haven't responded to the ticket directly because it is displaying some weird behavior that should probably be investigated: phab:T116155. Cheers, Storkk (talk) 12:43, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

Tagging of Christopher Williams (musician)

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Christopher Williams (musician). I do not think that Christopher Williams (musician) fits any of the speedy deletion criteria  because Membership in a notable group, mulch less multiple blue-linked groups, is a Claim of significance. I request that you consider not re-tagging Christopher Williams (musician) for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES ^(talk) 23:23, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
