Deletion review: Image:KinseyTIME.jpg

I believe the image was deleted entirely against the clear language and spirit of our deletion policy and guidelines (as have so many...as I know you know). Here's the deletion review I initiated: Misplaced Pages:Deletion_review#Image:KinseyTIME.jpg. Best, Dan—DCGeist 06:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Abu al-Walid

Hey there, I noticed you just undid 82.27.39.34's edits on the Abu al-Walid article. First of all, thanks for that! Second, I don't think he's gonna stop. I have been reverting his edits for several days now and have already twice reported him as a vandal. What more can I do to stop him? Let me know if you can help me out. Thanks!

I am indeed relatively new so I do not know the correct procedures for dealing with this situation. What is this warning system you mentioned? I have warned him once on the talk page of the article and I have also requested intervention by a third party. Also, if he is guilty of breaching 3RR, than so am I because I keep reverting his edits. You can reply here if you wish, I will check. Again thanks. ForrestSjap 07:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Be careful not to violate the 3RR rule in the process of reverting. I am about to block the IP. Stifle (talk) 20:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I was afraid that I may have done that already. I was considering his removal of cited material to be vandalism and thus not subject to WP:3RR. If an admin, however, didn't judge it to be vandalism as I had then I'd be up the creek. --Strothra 20:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

ANI

A post has been created by the ip above on Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Thought you should know. Woodym555 22:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me. Best, --Strothra 01:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Kabbani article

What's going on there? I noticed that you've been reverting the same disruptions i've been dealing with on there too. Is this something consistent with that user? I know it's been fairly consistent with that particular article. Is there something more to it? MezzoMezzo 13:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Yup, it's consistent with the user. I don't think he's going to stop removing cited material and inserting POV. He is the same as the ip 87.17.210.145 and was warned repeated while using that IP to edit. The articles were semi protected to stop his edits, but he registered and then moved the articles. I think it'd be best to request a checkuser just in case. That way when he is blocked for vandalism the IP will be blocked as well. --Strothra 13:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Hey Strothra, I just tried to send you an email but you don't seem to be allowing people to send you emails? It's just that eyes seem to be everywhere here: who was then rather bizarrely reverted without comment by a Texan anon! . Anyway, just to let you know, Daniel has protected Michael Ignatieff. Cheers, Sarah 12:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems pretty odd. I thought my e-mail was active. I'll activate it now. --Strothra 13:55, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Paris edit

I agree that none of the landmarks really needs mentioning if they are discussed later in the article. The only reason I didn't remove them all was the need to tread carefully because this has caused edit-warring in the past. Hopefully we can make some progress on the article now. :) Green Giant 13:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I wasn't familiar with any previous edit-warring. I think that WP:LEAD, however, is pretty clear that things in the lead should be referenced in general terms and expanded upon later. --Strothra 13:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

RFPP Ahwaz territory

I saw that you withdrew the RFPP, but I'd still like to make a comment. Nothing has happened since you posted on his talk page. Is this an old conflict? If not, it is way too soon to use protection. Assume good faith and don't bite the newcomers. Best wishes/ Pax:Vobiscum 15:20, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it's early as well - I think it's best to have the article redirected to one discussing the Iranian minority population to which the editor is referring. Which is why I am restoring the article and putting it up for AfD as Merge. I also suggested that the user create an article about the ethnic minority rather than the territory. --Strothra 15:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

haay you what you want ? don't remove what I write...ok--Hisham ibn Oamr Alharbi 02:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Can't quite understand what you just wrote. Either way, please follow policy and do not remove AfD tags. --Strothra 04:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Frankieandmichael

Hi Strotha. Please recheck the contribution this user made and consider removing your vandalism warning. I left a note on his page asking for a source, but I do not see the addition as vandalism. Annoying crap that does not add to Misplaced Pages, but a good faith contribution nonetheless. Cheers, Jeffpw 13:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Looking at his edit history this is most likely a vandalism only account (adding jokes is considered vandalism), see and . I just gave him a final warning for the addition. A Google search further indicates no credibility in the claim.--Strothra 13:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

hehehehhe. I always said WP:AGF was for simple minded fools. Thanks for staying sharp. Jeffpw 13:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
