User talk:Woohookitty/Archive9

Third opinion

Could you offer an opinion or a comment on the issue? I feel that the discussion (which has been going on for a week or 2) is not going anywhere at all. The problem lies with other editors' stubborness. They do not listen at all.

For example, about template:History of Manchuria, we have repeatedly said as to why "Manchuria" is not an offensive word. Yet, users like Jiejunkong or Wiki pokemon simply say it is an offensive term to modern Chinese, something that this totally irrevelent here.

I feel that the article will be moved again if no other editors or administrators help us out. Currently, it is only me, Cydevil38, and Wikimachine that are trying to discuss with the editors who feel that the article should be moved. Good friend100 14:06, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I want to open another poll, could you archive the old one? thank you for the help. Good friend100 14:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Move Request

Woohookitty, just out of curiosity, why is the move request vote moved? Isn't it still up for discussion? 9-3 seems like an overkill on consensus, and now simply relisting isn't enough, they want the entire vote thrown out? This isn't extending the vote to get more involvement, they want to toss out the old vote because they didn't like the result, and hope that some of the third party editors who normally don't edit that article don't bother to come back and vote again. It seems just really odd... I've never seen an RM this way before. --Cheers, Komdori 20:22, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

I might add that the three editors in the opposition haven't addressed any of the issues that the vast majority had when the consensus was established. They're just saying, "This version is the right one because it's the right one." If they don't address concerns but just keep repeating this same mantra, I don't see how any progress can be made. --Cheers, Komdori 20:24, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

One more note--after I realized that some votes had come in after it was relisted (and hence the major confusion it would cause by moving it in the middle of the active vote), I've moved it back in accordance with being bold. If the editors do not like the outcome, I might suggest a brand new request move in the near future, but having it listed as a "relist" is certainly confusing to those who have already voted if their votes are simply deleted. --Cheers, Komdori 20:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

American Idol (season 6)

I suggest you stay away from my talk page. (I have no plans to return to yours, so if you stay away from mine we'll get along fine.) You posted a snide remark about something I put there over two months ago, without even noticing that I never did go back and revert your so-called "cleanup" even though I promised to (it wasn't worth it). And compared to the garbage it replaced, what I said on my talk page isn't a "diatribe" at all. --RBBrittain 23:52, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Why did you destroy my profile?

Hi, I don't know what you did with my Userbox, but look - you destroyed my whole Profile page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bosniak . Do you think this is fair? I spent hours and hours to build my profile page, and now even when I revert to previous version, nothing is lined up correctly. What did you do, and why did you do it? Where is my userbox? Bosniak 04:16, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

AGT contestants

I always had the impression that many contestants on America's Got Talent were not notable. But the first comment I posted on the season 2 talk page did not suggest that, not as I look back to read it. I said (then) "For the audition shows, perhaps only the audition round acts that were rejected should remain." which was a way to suggest the plan to "leave behind" eliminated contestants in sections that is on the lower part of the talk page–not to delete anything. But I would now delete the rejected audition round acts and mention the eliminated semifinalists in a brief format (likely one line/bullet each, not in a table). I'm sorry if there was any misunderstanding. Tinlinkin 09:29, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

The way I see it, you were doing a favor for me. So in regard to rewatching the articles, I have no hard feelings in whatever you decide. TLK^'in 05:46, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Category:Wikipedia templates

Hello. Please don't categorize templates into Category:Wikipedia templates - that category should only be used for pages about wikipedia templates, and as the top category for the template subcategories, otherwise it will get way too cluttered.

RE: Sundown towns

Thanks for the notification. I agree with you (I'm sure that doesn't surprise you) and took down the list and made a note on the talk page. I don't think research will allow for a conclusive list for many years--this one book sure doesn't support it. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 00:45, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, exactly. Since he himself isn't sure... definitely, we need to wait for definite proof. Matt Yeager ♫ (Talk?) 05:47, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Gee its good......

I think user Getaway has yet another sock or meat puppet. Verklempt is the name and disruption is the game he seem's to love to play. The similarities between the 2 is remarkable. This is not an official request for administrative intervention. It is a vocalized sigh of relief upon discovering that my suspicions are probably correct. I am working on gaining consensus amongst the editors of the Ward Churchill pages. If and when I call for a vote of some kind, (I am a newbie of sorts) I will use the normal channels to report suspected sock puppetry . But for now I am just testing the waters ,,,, Albion moonlight 08:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Albion moonlight: Please provide evidence for your false and defamatory allegations. I have not seen anything provided by you to support your claim other than you believe your false claims to be true.--Getaway 19:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes.

If you will look at the Ward Churchill talk page and the Ward Churchill misconduct issues talk page and read the banter and take note of the fact that Getaway has joined in to take USER Verklempt's side. You might see the similarities I saw when I began to scan Getaways talk page. I will have a closer look. I am not attempting to hide my suspicions from him. I intend to inform the other editors of the aforementioned articles and the Leonard Peltier article in the hopes that they will help me bell this particular cat. Albion moonlight 10:56, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Dear Albion moonlight: Once again, please provide evidence for your false and defamatory allegations. I have not seen anything provided by you to support your claim other than you believe your false claims to be true.--Getaway 19:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: Admin help

Hi, can you clarify what the result of the report on 68.203.151.76 for vandalism intervention was? The comment you posted states "quit long ago. not empty" but I don't understand what you are referring to? It appears no further action was taken. I thought it was pretty clear that this is a persistent and sneaky vandal. If there is additional proof required I can provide it, thanks. Z00ropean 12:34, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Cat changes

I noticed your "fix" category changes to {{cfbhof}} and {{heisman}}. I think your addition was good, but I also added back in the NFL category because most of those players also played in the NFL. Someone editing an NFL player article would probably find those useful for the applicable players. Let me know if you disagree. I'm watching here if you want to chat, or I'll chat on the relevant template talk pages if you think that's more appropriate. Jmfangio 09:47, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Yeah I guess I can see that. It's a bit of a stretch but I won't object. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 09:53, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

• Okay, I actually thought it was sort of obvious, but if you feel really strongly, you can remove them and i won't object. :-) Jmfangio 10:00, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Nah. :) I just appreciate a newer user doing templates. :) Tends to be one of the ignored parts of the project. --Woohookitty^Woohoo! 10:01, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

• I just joined the NFL project. There are tons of problems, especially with ELs and duplicate info, so hopefully we'll get some good feedback. Jmfangio 10:13, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your hard work categorizing templates; I thought I'd let you know about a minor problem. When you add a category like so you accidentally introduce an unwanted newline into whatever pages call the template. This causes odd breakage. The solution is to start the noinclude tag directly after the last closing bracket. I'm fixing these as a find them, but you might want to review your edits from the last few days. Cheers, Mackensen (talk) 00:21, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Userbox removed

Greetings Woohookitty,

I noticed that you removed my userbox, "Against Srebrenica Genocide Denial," from my user page. I was wondering why you were editing my user page and why, in particular, you removed this box. I was under the impression that one's own user page was his/her domain and was to be edited only by him/her (assuming s/he is not violating wikipedia policy). Was there something wrong with that box? If so, I was unaware. Please inform...

Respectfully, Ask123 ask123 21:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

That list

I'd have no objections at all, though I'd probably be better if you waited until I updated it from the latest db dump, which should take care of the majority of the redlinks and now-categoriseds in one fell swoop. Alai 16:40, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, done. Due to the somewhat humungous size, I've split it up into four, which you might find more convenient to work on. (Originally the list was set up just as bot-fodder, hence the lack of section headers of any sort.) Alai 23:53, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

User Citylaugh

It seems that Superdeng has found yet another puppet to master. User:Citylaugh is making edits that seem alot like his work. He reverted the Battle of Budapest article's current version to this old version. He began his work in May, reverting its current version to old one (which oddly was the one that existed before I made edits in the article). I reverted it back, and he left the article alone after a while for a long time. Now he did it again, identifying me as "vandal Kurt" as he reverted it again back to this old version. I reverted it back to the former version. I would also like to note that his behaviour and edits are very similiar to user Speaksure, someone who reverted the article back to the same version Citylaugh does everytime I edited it (as a matter of fact, Speaksure's all edits were reverts in articles that I had edited).

Sanjaya on AI template

I remember a discussion we had a while back, claiming that if Sanjaya was no longer being constantly discussed in the media, his spot on the notable alum would be rediscussed. To maintain a NPOV, I'm wondering whether or not you think he should still stay on the list. Since I think that I search for all information related to him, I'm not sure how much the layman still hears about him. I'm assuming nothing, haha, so should he be removed now?  hmwith  talk 14:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply Woohookitty. I've avoided the Wiki since having my edit burned. RE: Please read Wikipedia:External links. We're kind of picky when it comes to listing forums. Please don't take it personally. --Woohookitty(meow) 23:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC) This was re your removing a link to Electric Bicycle's Users Forum I added to the Electric Bicycle page. I'll agree with the policy as long as it is fair and consistent. But since other forums of identical relevance have been added and not removed it appears it was personal. The http://groups.google.com/group/Tidalforce link should either be put back or all the other links to forums removed, unless this is personal. I could add a lot to Wikipedia about the TidalForce subcatagory of Electric Bicycles but wouldn't waste my time on something so unfairly run by people who follow whatever rules suit them. I am known as Joe and am a manager at the tidalforce group. I have no affiliation with any electric bicycle manufacturer, just a love for electric bicycles. I take my unfair treatment by Wikipedia very personally since I was without question singled out for my first contribution that took me a long time to do and probably took you a few seconds to remove. Forgive me for venting. I'm sure most of what you do is good. It just wasn't for me personally. Best, Joe

As a historically meticulous and objective contributor to the Sanjaya Malakar page, could you take a look at what reasonable trimming needs to be done. The article now has 2 tags. Others have made big cuts without the benefit of knowing the history of this article and the importance of some of the details to its contributors. I protested the cuts and was ignored until after multiple reverts and flagging the repeated unresponseive cuts as vandalism. I think my edits at this point would be challenged.

noinclude nesting

Look, we have every right to make the Redboy article. You have absolutely no right to say its nonsense - there are over 1 million articles here, you cannot comb through them and tell me what is relevant and what isn't - that is a ridiculously anti-intellectual line of thinking.

Arizona League

Apologies, but it's NOT completely incorrect - I've worked for the league and I've seen names such as the Scottsdale Giants and Mesa Cubs used in the league, and just because something is more "common" does not make it more accurate. I'm not just being ridiculous here, though I agree it's not common for teams to be referred to as Surprise or Peoria because there are multiple teams in the same location and they all go primarily by their nickname anyways.

I reverted the category removal at Category:World Series championship templates because the Category:Baseball templates in neither a descendant nor a ancestor of the other categories.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 22:31, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Band template categorizing

Hi, Kitty! I just noticed that you moved Template:Phish into the Progressive Rock category, and I don't think that's necessarily a good idea. Phish isn't necessarily known as a progressive rock group, though their music has some elements that might be considered such. If it doesn't already exist, I would suggest a category for Jam bands, as there are other bands (moe., SCI, etc.) that would probably fit better into that category than anything else. Thanks! —  MusicMaker5376 15:24, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

You're right: I don't know how full it would be right now, either. The Dead and Phish were definitely the front-runners of the genre (with DMB arguably being the most mainstream). Since the former two are no longer in the same form they once were, scores of smaller bands have started to gain a following. In time, those smaller bands will get bigger, more internet coverage, etc., so I don't think the cat will be small for very long.... —  MusicMaker5376 17:37, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

Need Your Help

I don't know if you remember me or not, but I asked for some assistance a while back to help keep an article up for a gaming community website called GammerAndy.com. That site is going down soon, but I started up another article for a video game company that if you can lend any assistance in helping improve, then I'd like that. It's for a company called "Ska Software". Thanks for your time! Vgamer101 04:32, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Los Angeles soccer history

Hi there. You have identified this page as being vandalised. I'm the guy who changed the page and would point you to the RSSSF soccer history website for reference. I haven't vandalised the page. I've corrected it, which you will see why in the discussion section of the page. The page, when I found it was saying that Los Angeles had been world club soccer champions three times. That's a bit like suggesting that The London Monarch have won three superbowls. I can assure you the page had so many errors as to be totally ficticious, I'm currently correcting these. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.22.20 (talk) 20:18, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Question

I see back in July you added a category to Template:Active. I don't suppose you would know how to create a template like this for "inactive" or what to name it. Currently the inactive is only for WikiProjects that are inactive, but I would like to have one so I could add it to a table of project participants for Illinois. Would you be able to assist in creating this template? I suppose I could stumble through it, but the big thing is I am not sure what to name it. Thanks for any assistance you can give.--Kranar drogin 02:55, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Category:Female figure skating champions navigational boxes and Category:Male figure skating champions navigational boxes

Hey. :) Good job on organizing the templates in Category:Figure skating templates into categories. I've nominated two of them, Category:Female figure skating champions navigational boxes and Category:Male figure skating champions navigational boxes, for renaming to include the discipline name (as done with pairs and dance) rather than the gender of the skater.

TfD for Template:Microsoft Flight Simulator series

Hi,

You closed this TfD with delete, but the template's still there... Chris Cunningham 18:07, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

User:Woohookitty/User

Do you have an index of every template?! Wow I am impressed. Isn't it possible to transclude Special:Prefixindex when it is set to template space and the specified letter? -Sox207 20:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Oh of course I would remove categorized templates. Also I dwell a lot in userboxes, if you want to think of something nightmarish go here: Wikipedia:Userboxes/Health, this is one of the examples I can think of off the top of my head, but you will see that the page puts itself in a high amount of Wikipedian categories, and this is one of the better ones, there are some that are even worse! Wikipedia has a lot of trouble with templates from my experience, but yeah I will try to help best I can at the same time working on a number of projects I have (like right now Babel is picking up, people are becoming more involved, the userboxes need to become standardized, etc.). -Sox207 00:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Holy crap someone finally fixed that, I wasn't even aware of that, well that brightened up my day. But yeah some of these templates are stubs, like they are just bits of information used at certain times. Man I gotta take a Wikibreak I feel a headache coming on lol. -Sox207 00:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I think User:PatPeter tried to do something for templates, a WikiProject or something. I will try to look up his files, maybe we can build on one of them, get enough members to decline these numbers, I could help a lot with the uncat user templates but just the two of us won't do. -Sox207 02:56, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I guess it used to be bigger, but was once deleted, this is the page: User:PatPeter/Wikipedia:WikiProject Category Cleanup, basically the aim was obviously to categorize uncategorized templates, to standardize all category rules, for userboxes and some other categories, and I think merge small categories together that are otherwise a waste of space to have two of. From what I read on User talk:PatPeter it seems he was blocked for not contributing to mainspace, so that they didn't even think of counting his contributions to template space. That's a pity that Wikipedians don't realize that templates can be just as important. Without infoboxes imagine how plain WP would look. But yeah what if you made a mistake and got blocked, and they tried to say you had a lack of contributions to mainspace? (I haven't looked up your contributions with the tool so I have no clue, but from what you say about all your template space edits the same could happen.) So yeah I will try to spruce up the page, make any edits you think would be good, let's get this show on the road! -Sox207 04:25, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

We should also put User:PatPeter/CATC on our pages as a transclusion. Also unlike my almost immediate responses throughout tonight, I am going to sleep soon and probably won't get your message for 8-10 hours. -Sox207 04:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I also started the members list at User:PatPeter/Wikipedia:WikiProject Category Cleanup/Members. -Sox207 04:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

The decision would be PatPeter's, but seeing as he's blocked changing it should be fine. Let's ponder over possible names for a little while though. Let's also try to go over as many possible things this project could do, to differentiate it from Project Categories and make it better suited for approval in the consul. Edit the page with any ideas you get and I will do the same. -Sox207 16:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

These templates would make you mad, if they are still here when you check your talk page, I have them up for speedy. They are both uncategorized and completely pointless, both based on a template that is based on a template: Template:User language-0, Template:User a68-0. -Sox207 21:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

That is an amazingly good thing to know, if you can since the templates I posted above haven't been deleted could you delete them for me? I am going to find all those other pointless templates I saw earlier. -Sox207 02:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah thanks, I am still getting used to all of Wikipedia's policies. I am going to put that other page up for deletion. -Sox207 04:31, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Why thank you. I am better suited to explain how mind-bogglingly pointless the template is. So what do you mean that you subst a template before deleting it? -Sox207 04:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Im on a killing spree today! Lol because I have gotten three user subpages deleted, two were a double redirect, the other only had the context {{User blank-0}} in it, with the brackets, completely redundant. I also got a68 deleted and User language templates are pending deletion here: Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 October 12. -Sox207 04:46, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I knew about all of it, it just never dawned on me to subst the template onto the page it is using, because I didn't realize that it only takes like 3 substitutes for templates that aren't used that much. It depends on what it is for me to subst it, like if it was a couple bits of info for color and effect or something yes, if it is an inflammatory userbox, well that would be deleted anyway, point is I know what you mean. -Sox207 05:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Dang it I am trying to remember a quote that your last comment reminded me of... something like:

"We are all clueless in this world."

Whatever it would have been better if I could have said it, but to the point I will message you if anything else comes up that I need help on. -Sox207 15:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Holy bejesus that was annoying:

• {{User blank}}
• {{User blank-0}}
• {{User blank-1}}
• {{User blank-10}}
• {{User blank-11}}
• {{User blank-2}}
• {{User blank-3}}
• {{User blank-4}}
• {{User blank-5}}
• {{User blank-6}}
• {{User blank-8}}
• {{User blank-9}}
• {{User blank-x}}

It wasn't categorizing them that was the problem, it was setting up some of them for deletion. But wow I am starting to work on user a lot more now, kicking it into gear. -Sox207 23:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Relisting TfDs

There's really no need to relist a TfD if no objections have been made (like here). Unless the nom doesn't provide a good reason for deletion, it can be deleted after seven days. — Malcolm (talk) 21:23, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

It does say in the 2nd sentence of WP:TFD that "Templates that have been listed for more than seven days are eligible for deletion when a rough consensus to do so has been reached or no objections to its deletion have been raised." If the nominator's provided a good rationale, it seems highly unlikely there will be any valid keep arguments, and it's been listed for seven days, why leave it open? — Malcolm (talk) 02:46, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but I'd just like to make an observation. I sometimes relist templates after they have received no comments for a week (and have been scolded for doing so), but I tend to only do that where there's a reason to hesitate with deleting them, for example if they are currently in use, or if they look like they're commonly substituted. In this specific case, none of the templates were used on any articles, and an obvious replacement template was available, so I didn't think that there would be any objections to deleting them (which I went ahead and did).

I apologize

Between December 14, 2005 and June 7, 2007, I vandalized Wikipedia under my previous username (YechielMan) and under various IP addresses and alternate accounts.

I recently reviewed the contribution logs of all the accounts and IP addresses that I can recall having used. My goal was to identify all of the intentionally harmful edits I caused, and to apologize to the individual users who reverted those edits, or warned me, or blocked me.

Hence, I apologize to you and to all of the following users:

Adam Bishop, Amarkov, Antandrus, AntiVandalBot, Bdj (Badlydrawnjeff), Conk 9, CanbekEsen, DLand, Downwards, Eagle 101, Ericbronder, Gogo Dodo, High on a tree, Hut 8.5, Interiot, Jayjg, Jrwallac, Kingboyk, Kuru, Noclip, Patrick Berry, PFHLai, PhantomS, Pollinator, Rachack, Ranma9617, Rx StrangeLove, SlimVirgin, Tfrogner, TommyBoy, Vary, Woohookitty, Zzuuzz, and some anonymous IPs. (I also reverted one edit myself after it went unnoticed for three weeks.)

Thank you for maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia against everyone who has attacked it, including my old self.

If you wish to respond, please do so at my talk page.

Best regards, Shalom (Hello • Peace) 19:26, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

No content in Category:Zurich S-Bahn templates

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Zurich S-Bahn templates, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Zurich S-Bahn templates has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Zurich S-Bahn templates, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Admin/Baseball Related Stuff

I see that you're an admin. Do you know that I'm a RCP (Recent Changes Patroller) too? I try to revert vandalism when I have time. So are you interested in stuff under the MLB category? LADodgersAngelsfan 06:02, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm a Recent Changes Patroller like I said above. Would you get in trouble if you make a mistake on accident because I'm pretty careless when I edit and I'm also a beginner at reverting vandalism? Once someone vandalized twice in a row on the same article. After that I reverted it to the previous edit instead of reverting it to two previous edits.

Funeral of Ronald Reagan

Hi. I was looking at the Death and state funeral of Ronald Reagan page in attempt to clear up some confusion on Nancy Reagan's talk page about the funeral itself. As you were a big editor of the funeral article way back in May 2005, I was wondering if you could help shed some light on the situation. JackofOz stated that there might have been some confusion about the funeral/memorial services versus the state funeral, and the week-long thing. I didn't think there was a problem, but he's from Australia and apparently doesn't understand. He threw out an idea for rewording the content that I think sounds a bit odd. Anyway, I was wondering if I could get your help there, if you have the time. Thanks, Happyme22 02:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry to hear that. Oh well, I'll find someone else. Thanks anyway. Happyme22 04:29, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your assistance and guidance. I've asked for the help of my colleagues to make the text more encyclopedia like and will constantly strive to reach higher standards.

South African Institutional Repositories

The page was deleted using the 'blatant advertisement' reason. I ask for review of this deletion for the following reasons:

The institutional repository page serves as an entry point to South African repositories that are linked to academic institutions and research organizations.

It doesn't belong to a specific institutions.

It serves to promote the sharing of knowledge to the wider international community and serves to promote the knowledge and awareness of repositories.

The sharing of the full text information is free of charge - this is not in any way a money making service.

It is in the beginning phases and input and better wording was requested from participating IR managers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Antonioli

Can you take a peek at Dan_Antonioli. There is a copyright violation tag on it and I was just told the article is being deleted. Can you take a peek, and see what the fuss is about? I can't see the article anymore. There were some strong words exchanged last week in the deletion process, and I suspect this may be a continuation of the process to eliminate the article. The argument is now about how much text in the quote function of the citations constitutes fair use under the DMCA. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) 22:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Note: Please don't confuse the article for deletion nomination and the copyright issue. The two aren't related in anyway, and from what I can see, the only two persons involved in both were Mr. Norton and myself. I voted to keep the article. However, I also told Mr. Norton that I believed the massive quote inclusions were a problem. The strong words were in relation to the validity of such an extensive inclusion of material copied into the references and the actual need for it in context of how it was being presented. In fact, the issue about this use of the quote and massive copying & pasting isn't confined to this article alone, it just happened to be the one in which it was raised. Mr. Norton archived this page to his sandbox on 10/29. Wildhartlivie 00:23, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

User Raoulduke47

This user is causing trouble in the Battle of Gazala article. He constantly reverts my edits, despite the fact that my information is sourced. He does not seem to be troubled by the fact that his actions are vandalism - pointing me as one instead. He has done this several times and did so yet again. Regards, --Kurt Leyman 20:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I have never called this user a vandal. On the contrary, it's him who persistently refers to my edits as vandalism, which, in the case of a content dispute such as this comes pretty close to being a personal attack.

In fact, this is a disagreement over the use of the word "decisive". This word can have two meanings: either "having the power or quality of deciding"[4] or "Beyond doubt; unmistakable"[5]. I won't bore you with the details, but it is the first meaning that is relevant here. Kurt Leyman's source tends towards the second meaning, given the turn of phrase he uses. So it's not a question of deleting "sourced information", it 's a question of removing tendentious claims. I get the impression that Kurt Leyman is taking advantage of the confusion to further his pro-German POV, but even assuming good faith(dificult at this point, but i do my best), it seems that he is mistaken. Unfortunately, he has stubbornly refused to discuss this issue on the talk page, so it has proved impossible to dispell the confusion. He seems content make an ambiguous statement, whack on an uncheckable source (in Finnish...no comment) and then to shout: "this is the truth, anyone who contradicts me is vandal!". I started a thread on the talk page[6], another user has agreed with me [7], but Kurt Leyman has not bothered to take part in the discussion. I can furnish more explanations if you will, but I think it is clear who is being disruptive in this case. Raoulduke47 21:02, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

"whack on an uncheckable source " Your PoV does not invalid the source. "then to shout: "this is the truth, anyone who contradicts me is vandal!" I have never even remotely said such. "I think it is clear who is being disruptive in this case." Wikipedia policies do not allow reverting sourced material as you do and you have failed to provide a cited counter for the result. --Kurt Leyman 21:25, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

You're avoiding the obvious argument here. I don't have to provide a "cited counter", as you quaintly put it, because you are pushing the wrong version of the word "decisive". If you want to argue this point further I suggest you do it on the article talk page.

I hope you appreciate, Woohookitty, that this user has obstinately refused to discuss this issue in any way. He is only discussing it now in the hope of portraying me as a vandal, and getting me blocked. I am not a vandal, and I have never been blocked for violating wikipedia's policies. Kurt Leyman, on the other hand, engages in controversy on a regular basis, and has been blocked many times. Regards. --Raoulduke47 22:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Do not make assumptions and push your PoV. I have not asked anyone to be blocked. Your last phrase is completely irrelevant and attempts to blackpaint me on basis of my former history - Wohookitty is well aware of my history. The fact is that Wikipedia policies do not allow removal of sourced information as you have done in this case. --Kurt Leyman 22:29, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't have to blackpaint you, your block log speaks for itself. I find it rather ironic that I am being accused of violating policies, by a user who has repeatedly shown his contempt for these very same policies. Actually, you're rather badly placed to start WikiLawyering, especially as you are gaming the system in order to prove a point.

It is not the source which is at fault here, but your sentence "the battle ended in decisive victory". You say that is "sourced information", but in fact it is not information at all. That phrase is hopelessly vague and confusing, simply because you have'nt bothered to specify which meaning of the word "decisive" you are using, or in what way it was decisive. That's why I removed it, because a bad edit is still a bad edit, even if there is a source.

So far, you have failed to propose a single argument to support your views. If you were willing to discuss this issue on the article talk page(rather than on Woohokitty's talk page), then you could expose your views and perhaps we could reach a compromise, as Kirrages has suggested. --Raoulduke47 16:07, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
