| Hi there. In my humble opinion the subject is undoubtedly noteworthy. He is the national underage coach for one of the most popular and long established sports in Australia. I have verified this as a fact with reference to an article confirming his appointment on the Australian Rugby governing body's website- www.rugby.com.au . Given this news is unlikely to be published in the Grey Lady I can't think of a more credible source for this fact. The same article also confirms his other coaching roles in club and subprovincial rugby. | |||
| I know you can't take it as a basis for anything, but speculation is that the subject will be appointed as head coach of one of Australia's five professional teams in due course, so rest assured at some stage there will be a wiki entry. You/we can get ahead of this now... and the subject is already eminently worthy of an entry. | |||
| Thanks for your consideration- John | |||

If you feel that I have reverted an edit or issued a warning in error, please let me know. I am human, and I do make mistakes. Please don't interpret an error on my part as a personal attack on you. It's not, I promise. I ask you to simply bring it to my attention; I am always open to civil discussion. Thank you. Boomer Vial |

If I see something such as a box, template, image, etc., on another user/user talk page that catches my eye, I will "borrow" it. More than likely without asking. ;) Boomer Vial |
Hi again Boomer Vial, and thanks for the barnstar! In regards to checking an IP's network, you will see two links at the bottom of their contributions page. One of them is labeled "WHOIS" and the other is labeled "Geolocate" both of these links will give you the IP's location and their network. Unfortunately, you cannot find the organization for some IP addresses because the service providers sometimes hide the organization from public view, which is probably why the "Likely a school based on behavior evidence" block was made. Luckily in this case, the organization is shown, and this IP appears to be registered to "Victorian WorkCover Authority": . A simple google search shows that this IP is registered to some sort of insurance company. The process isn't too complicated, and you can use the templates from Template:Shared IP to label these (should always be put at the top of an IP's talkpage). I have already done this for the IP that you provided here. Hope this helps! - 172.58.41.69 |
 You're off to a good start as a new Wikipedian; enjoy this kitten! Esquivalience 02:14, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Okay
Can you PLEASE stop closing discussions at ANI you shouldn't be closing. --NeilN 01:00, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN Fine. I wasn't aware that one cannot close the discussion if too closely involved. I was also closing a previous ANI case I filed, in which the editor was blocked. I managed to mess it up though, so let me revert that. Boomer Vial 01:02, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- You shouldn't be closing as discussion isn't done yet. --NeilN 01:04, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN Apologies. I was under the incorrect impression that the conversation was rather irrelevant to the ANI case, in it's self per my rationale behind the close. Should I undo it, since nobody else seems to be? Boomer Vial 01:07, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- Unless Coffee is going to respond to my post, leave it closed. ANI cases can begin as one thing and easily morph into something else. In this case, it opened as describing a symptom and then moved into a discussion about the cause. --NeilN 01:12, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN I see. Again, apologies about the erroneous closes. Like the IP editor said, just trying to help. I seem to be more getting in the way, though. Boomer Vial 01:14, 6 April 2017 (UTC)

If you still want to ask, gimme an hour, okay? Going to get a bite to eat. Or email me. --NeilN 02:23, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN No problem. Boomer Vial 02:25, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN I was going to ask you about AIV being protected, as well as the rationale behind doing so. I have a feeling I know why, but out of respect of Coffee, I won't ask, if you don't tell. Boomer Vial 03:34, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- Someone (supposedly a sock) was occasionally posting 30-50 reports to AIV all at once. Some editors/admins saw that as disruptive, some didn't. Some admins saw the reports as unactionable, some didn't. Protection was put in place until edit filters preventing that behavior were written. --NeilN 04:02, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- I thought so. I was at the eye of that mess. Boomer Vial 04:11, 18 April 2017 (UTC) NeilN Whoops. Pinged the wrong admin. As an additional comment, I have a feeling this might be the same editor. They are still leaving questionable AIV reports, as noted on their talk page. Boomer Vial 04:12, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

12:02:53, 11 April 2017 review of submission by 68.119.150.29
HI COULD YOU HELP ME WITH THE NOTABILITY PART LIKE FETCHING RELIABLE SOURCES ONLINE AND HELPING ME CREATE THE WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE?68.119.150.29 (talk) 12:02, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
- The sources must have in depth coverage of the article's subject it's self, for starters. Read this page for help with identifying reliable sources, this page for any questions about notability, and this page for any questions about verafiability. Boomer Vial 12:13, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
OKAY THANKS68.119.150.29 (talk) 12:34, 11 April 2017 (UTC)
Daniel Belardinelli
I created the original page and developed it over time. The infobox that was added had errors, and, I thought the recently added photo above the article without a box was more esthetically pleasing. Now that I've removed the box I cannot seem to get my photo back up from wikicommons. Please revert. Thank you Camimack (talk) 02:27, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Camimack I did not do so right away because I seen that you made an edit immediately after I reverted your removal of the infobox. Apologies again about my erroneous revert. I'm not sure why you are asking me to revert my changes, however, as you undid them afterwards. Boomer Vial 04:40, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
I am asking if you can get my photo back on top as I cannot now Camimack (talk) 04:56, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Camimack Oh, yeah sure no problem. Apologies, I just wasn't 100% sure there. Boomer Vial 04:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Done I've rescued the infobox, and the image as well from the previous revision. Boomer Vial 05:00, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Thank you, but,I was trying to delete that infobox in the first place as it has inaccuracy and I just wanted to have the photo at the top. Can you get rid of the infobox and place my photo back at the top as it had been before someone changed it erroneously? Sorry for the miscommunication. Camimack (talk) 05:10, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Camimack I'm sorry, I am not familiar enough with Wiki-language and images to do so. You could always use the help me template, or the help desk to ask for another editor to assist you. Boomer Vial 05:33, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
Thank you. The infobox has the wrong birthdate and now another editor reverted it again and is accusing me of coi and being in an editing war! This was not my intention. I created this first submission 3 years ago and it took a lot of voluntary effort as I hold down 2 jobs and am a single mother. I did not attempt creating another page for a long timevdue to time restraints, and when I did, the editor who is accusing me of the coi and editing war changed my other article as well, but I reverted it stating why. Please do not take what I did as a "war" My intention was just to correct and improve the article. Sorry Boomer Camimack (talk) 03:24, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
FYI - Mentions
Mentions won't notify unless the mention/ping is added along with a new signature in a single edit. --NeilN 14:20, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN So if I forget to add a user ping/mention, just use a talkback template instead? Boomer Vial 14:23, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- I usually add something like Boomer Vial I muffed the ping --NeilN 14:25, 17 April 2017 (UTC) to the end of the original post. --NeilN 14:25, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN That works. Noted. Boomer Vial 14:31, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN

I use templates a lot. But templates aren't always the best course of action, especially when an editor is trying to make a point. In these cases, it may be more productive to craft a custom message acknowledging they may have a point and telling them what they need to do to get what they want. Now, many times you'll be ignored but occasionally you'll be pleasantly surprised. --NeilN 01:35, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN Noted, for future reference. Boomer Vial 01:50, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
Re: Misplaced Pages Adventure - "We're so happy you wanted to play to learn, as a friendly and fun way to get into our community and mission." I think you're way past this stage :) --NeilN 01:54, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
- NeilN I wouldn't say "way past", but yeah I know. I was just experimenting with different aspects of the Department of Fun. Boomer Vial 01:56, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
what is going on?
You left me a heads-up about Draft:Al Khair Mosque.
I don't start drafts in draft space. If I am really the creator of this material someone moved it to draft space.
Although you only left me this heads-up a few hours ago, it has already been deleted.
Are you sure it is material I started? Geo Swan (talk) 12:38, 18 April 2017 (UTC)

WP:BLANKING
It looks like you maybe read this but missed some of the nuance. Users are explicitly allowed to remove notifications of CSD nominations, and nearly anything else, from their own talk pages. Beeblebrox (talk) 02:26, 19 April 2017 (UTC)
- Beeblebrox It was more than likely this, which I misread. "Speedy deletion tags and requests for uninvolved administrator help (an administrator will quickly determine if these are valid or not; use the link embedded in the notice to object and post a comment, do not just remove the tag)."

Avissinias Square article
Hi, I received a message from you today, announcing me that my draft Avissinias Square is about to be deleted (G13 code). I tried to open it, but it was already deleted (BTW, if you allow me to make a comment, maybe it will be a fine ideea to let at least a day before delete an article, so the author could do something). I tried to follow the instruction in order to retreive my draft, but I hace to admit it was a little bit difficult for me be sure I followed the steps correctly. I did go to the link suggested, I put the title, but then I was sent to another page, asking me to input the name of the article. Anyway, I cannot see my page again, I am not sure what to do again. I know you are busy, but maybe you can offer me a little help to succeed. Many thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cher-cher (talk • contribs) 11:19, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
- Cher-cher You can request for your draft to be undeleted here. When you get to this page, fill in "Page name goes here" with the draft name (Avissinias Square), and "Enter your reasoning here and then click the "Save page" button below". Then, as it says, hit save and your request will be logged. Boomer Vial 12:29, 20 April 2017 (UTC)
Bonadiiiaa (Socks of Nsmutte)

Draft:Saturated phenomenon
Hi, I wonder if this draft (marked for deletion) could be moved to my sandbox? e.g.
https://en.wikipedia.org/User:Ynappddhs/sandbox
In reference to your message https://en.wikipedia.org/User_talk:Ynappddhs#Your_draft_article.2C_Draft%3ASaturated_phenomenon
Many thanks for letting me know. It may be a while before I can re-write this, but I have every intention.
Kind regards, Ynappddhs (talk) 11:31, 24 April 2017 (UTC)
- Ynappddhs The article you mentioned above has already been deleted by an administrator per speedy deletion rationale G13 (undedited for six months). Please see here to have your draft restored so it can be further worked on. Boomer Vial 08:57, 25 April 2017 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Sami H. Elmansoury
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Sami H. Elmansoury requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://camp-online.org/cgblog/59/We-re-all-in-This-Together---Spotlight-on-Sami-Elmansoury.htm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

- Ha. By the way, if you move an article, please tell the newbie where to find it and add a {{subst:AFC draft| username}} header for them. --NeilN 21:12, 26 April 2017 (UTC)
- Chrissymad Why G12, though? I checked it through Earwig's copyvio checker, and nothing came up. I also looked at the article linked in your notice, and see no similarities. Boomer Vial 02:19, 27 April 2017 (UTC)

Counter Vandalism Training
I notice that you have slots available for counter vandalism training. May it be possible for me to receive counter vandalism training from yourself? Note the time difference.
