This is (a) incorrect, (b) deceitful, and (c) borderline libelous on several counts.
(1) You'll need to provide some form of objective evidence that I'm a, as you put it, "troll" - my only visits to the "TBTL" website were to attempt to verify some of the uncited statements used in its article.
(2) I added a section called "Controversies." This is acceptable and common with public personas and radio programs. See a similar section in the Don Imus article, Rush Limbaugh article or any number of other articles. Critical and objective statements are permitted on wikipedia if properly cited. I provided 22 wikipedia-acceptable citations. You vandalized the article through deletion of controversial, cited statements. This is why admin upheld my request for protection of the article - due to wholesale editing ... sans prior discussion or explanation ... of critical statements.
Slanderous statements would be patently untrue. Mine were true. You made no challenge as to the accuracy of any addition or edit by me, you engaged in no discussion, you provided no counter to my source citations. You simply engaged in vandalism of the article through removal of an acceptable, if critical, section.
(3) We're aware you are a member of this radio show's fan club based on your user profile, edit history and the fan club profile user buttons placed in you user page by your other personas, such as Lew19. It is disingenuous and offensive to make borderline libelous accusations here to advance some project or activity proposed by said fan club to "clean up" the wikipedia entry about it. Wikipedia is an encylcopedic source that exists to provide objective information about notable sources. It is not a fan club vehicle. It is, also, not acceptable to stalk users who have made edits with whom you disagree. Disagreements about article content should be made on the article discussion page so the community can discuss it in an open and transparent manner.
Please note - the above user has also directed, what I can only construe to be, threats of violence against me by spamming my userpage with the phone number for, what appeared to be, a suicide hotline and encouraging that I "call" it. For this reason I'm not open to entertaining his, or his confederates, "constructive criticisms" and may, regrettably, reply with irritation to talk left on my page that seems to further their agenda (I apologize if anyone gets inadvertently caught up in that, one would understand, though, why I might be defensive when subjected to death threats). I'm not familiar with WP's No Death Threas policy, as this is the first in my great time contributing to wikipedia someone has been so off-kilter to do that, but under WP's No Personal Attacks policy, I deleted these entries and filed a complaint about this user.

Hi. There is an other article which I think needs to be protected on the wrong version. You can find 14 identical reverts in the history of Azerbaijan Democratic Republic all concerning a self-made map of Baku87 (). Regards --Vacio (talk) 10:19, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
This is all too much. There are definitely more productive ways to spend our time (e.g., for me, graduating and...volunteering at Samaritans!). I really wanted to participate in this project, but it seems it's easily manipulated in some really surprising and disappointing ways. I'll give Notabilitypatrol what he wants and delete my profile and move on (can you advise me on that?).
Also, I feel badly about presenting Samaritans (it doesn't see itself as strictly a "suicide line" by the way) in a way that anyone could construe as a "threat of violence." That's a pretty miserable idea! I wasn't aware I had been spamming--sorry about that. Cheers and best wishes. --Mikfantastik (talk) 11:14, 24 February 2009 (UTC)
Did you even look in the edit? Not only did he remove the map that has not been officially proven to be OR, but he also deleted the free image posted by Baku87. If that is not vandalism I don't know what is. Parishan (talk) 00:11, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

It's odd you happened across the KC Jails article after we'd just been conversing in a different article. Wikipedia is a collaborative environment where everyone works together for the benefit of the community. Cyberstalking is a discouraged activity and never appreciated. It's also weird and creepy.
At this time I think it would be for the best if you stopped initiating conversations with me.

Hi there. I couldn't help but notice your revert of an ip's post on the USA article. I have no opinion on the debate taking place, but have you seen some of the language used during that discussion? I believe there are other posts there more deserving of reversion. Jack forbes (talk) 21:06, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
I was not "copying-and pasting". I do not want to "move" the article so why would I request a move? I was duplicating the article and was then going to remove from the "Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic" article anything that should only be in the "Nakhchivan" article. To be honest, this is the only way that this issue is going to be solved and you should let me, as a neutral party, be bold and get on with doing it. "Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic" is clearly a different entity than just the geographical region of Nakhchivan and, as an existing example to follow, we already have a separate entry for Nakhchivan Khanate. Please would you restore my edits. Meowy 02:53, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

You are doing a fine job. Chillum 06:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC) |
Please do not call a revert of an edit "clearly vandalism"; you need to assume good faith. Surely you can understand that the Armenian and Turkish and Kurdish and Azeri-related articles are battlegrounds, and we need more civility and discussion, not less. Please read WP:BRD - be bold (which you did), revert (which MarshallBagramyan did), discuss (which neither of you have). Take the first step, rather than continuing an edit war. --Golbez (talk) 02:55, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
"Isn't there a rule that prevents a group of people without clearly defining their objections attack one author?" Yes, you have to go to dispute resolution. Until then, there's the issue of the three revert rule - you've reverted that article three times now, if you do it again you may be blocked for 24 hours. --Golbez (talk) 03:50, 5 March 2009 (UTC)
Am I to infer that you are an Administrator (and thus able to issue a temporary protection of the Sears Tower page)? It's not immediately clear on your User page.
Regardless, good move. Hopefully a week will do it; time will tell. The matter is an absolute no-brainer: the tower is NOT the Willis Tower at this point, it remains the Sears Tower. When it changes the Wikipedia page can be changed to reflect it, not before. There is adequate content in both the Intro and a specific Naming Rights heading indicating the Willis Group has made a deal and that the name change will follow later in 2009.
Last thing, which you can deal with not I: a final sentence of vandalism was added to the latter section which begs deletion. Whenever you can take care of it. Regards. Wikiuser100 (talk) 14:44, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your comments which were taken as very un-civil considering you are an admin. Of a more worrying note is your action, to warn only myself and not an editor who appears to demonstrate ownership of numerous articles. Even if i were to add a third party picture, which for arguments sake was of far greater quality , i believe that my edit would be reverted, (which i have now done and added an alternative picture which i stress is a third party picture and up-to-date. --Rockybiggs (talk) 09:43, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: this article's protection - would you please either unprotect it (best action), or return it to the version before the wholesale drive-by revert by Elsanaturk. There was no "edit war", and your actions are not at all helpful as they stand. Elsanaturk removed a lot of material that was completely non-controversial and which nobody had objected to, and a lot of material that we had been discussiog in the talk page and which is now settled. About the only thing that is causing difficulties is the nature of CA's absorbtion of Artsakh, and the nature of the Treaty of Kurekchay. Both were being constructively discussed and protecting the article does nothing to encourage that discussion. Meowy 03:02, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
Would you be so kind as to weigh in on more back-and-forth regarding the photo on Arlington Cemetery station?

My bad. The IP just went through and summarily chopped out three carefully worded, neutral paragraphs and three solid citation's worth of information because he didn't like how it portrayed North Korea. I now have added no less than 6 major media citations to the article to support that one tiny section. If he bucks me on it again instead of going to the talk page like I asked, I'm going to quit the AGF and simply start rolling him back as a drive-by IP POV warrior.

I posted on the article talk page the reason I returned the description given by Robyn Anderson of the nature of the gun purchases. Your rationale on the talk page was that the wording about a straw purchase attached criminality to Anderson because straw purchases weren't illegal in Colorado at the time. However, the article used as a source is pretty clear that Colorado law wasn't the reason Anderson avoided being charged. It was because she characterized the purchases as ones from private individuals at the gun show, which was a loophole that kept her from being charged under the federal Brady bill. That's a fairly significant distinction. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:19, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hiya Golbez. I was just looking through AfD and noticed some articles by Sloggerbum up there, and following onto his page saw that a few had been deleted. I think that the speedy deletes were a bit on the quick side. Thommy Price has played with Joan Jett, and has a reasonable number of gnews hits . I'm not sure about Susan Marks as it is quite a common name, and searching is hard without the original article to go by. I have also been finding sources for other articles contributed to by sloggerbum currently at AfD, such as Chan Poling and Kid Dakota. Would it be possible to undelete those speedied articles, to at least give chance for some sources to be found. If the others are anything to go by it shouldn't be too hard. Quantpole (talk) 00:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Golbez - I as well would like to request Thommy Price get (at least temporarily) undeleted so I can attempt to add some more resources, and maybe have a discussion about the notability. Of all the different articles that went up on AfD that day, I believe the price article is the one I especially want to try defending. His particular drumming style is behind a large amount of top 40 radio hits, which I'd like to try articulating better.
Thank you, hope all goes well, Sloggerbum (talk) 23:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
Heya Gman, Thanks for releasing the Thommy Price page, worked on it today, it's much less horrendous. I have one more request - a chance to rework the A.L.X. page. He's currently carrying on the tradition of a lot of important 80's rock musicians in New York. Thanks, Sloggerbum (talk) 02:21, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi Golbez,
Wondering what the rationale for redirecting Hidatsa language to Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara Nation is? Regards, --babbage (talk) 01:21, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
Hi! I've added two of the references presented at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chan Poling to the article. By the way, nowhere does it say that articles for which reliable sources can be found, but which are at the moment not sourced, should be deleted. See "AfD is not cleanup". (The exception to that is negative information about living persons, obviously not applicable here.) If you have any more concerns about the notability of the article's subject, let me know :) Thanks, Jafeluv (talk) 22:12, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
You sent me the following message:
"I've noticed some interesting edits from you. You need to review the guidelines on how Wikipedia uses a neutral point of view and the reliable sources guideline. Moving the section on Islam in Ten Commandments to 'controversies' doesn't make sense, nor does saying "our country" in the article on United States; many people from outside the U.S. edit Wikipedia. --Golbez (talk) 23:29, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
I am very sorry! I did not meant to vandalize anything or any article. I have read many articles about vandalism, including the guidelines on how Wikipedia uses a neutral point of view and the reliable sources guideline.

I am the creator of the previous Delaware governors index layout that you have changed. Honestly I really missed the previous layout, especially the portrait as they include. I have not spent much time looking at your changes, as I am working on the articles themselves, but would appreciate your wisdom in fully appreciating the suggested improvements to the index. I'm open to changes, as I only stole the present design from someone else, but really like it anyway.

Thanks, Golbez, and the warning is noted. What's the standard procedure when an edit war starts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Misaligned (talk • contribs) 19:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
"since then you have attempted to get multiple articles related to Too Beautiful to Live and public radio deleted based on notability complaints"
I placed a notability tag because I questioned the article's notability; it's standard practice to question the notability of local radio programs. Many local radio programs have had their articles purged on notability grounds. Raising the question to invite deliberation and discussion is permitted. Are you cognizant to the difference between placement of a notability tag and article deletion? One is an invitation to discussion, the other is a unilateral action. I did the former.
"You have removed references to these things on notability grounds, but not touched other references whose notability is also questionable."
I don't know what this means. There was an article entry for a local radio program in Seattle that was 3 pages long with 1 source citation. As one of many articles I've recently edited on topics ranging from zoology to psychology, I added 22 additional citations to said article. These were immediately vandalized/deleted.
"You have to respond to concerns about your editing. You clearly have a bias against these shows or a conflict of interest; if an article is turned into a "fan club" then you can try to repair it, but don't try to delete it."
Incorrect. You are the only person, aside from users registered within the last 3 days, who have raised any concerns about my editing. The one recently (24 hours old) registered user who did, I replied to at my earliest convenience, as I am to you now.
As far as repairing the article, the logs will indicate that's what I did. Recently registered and anonymous users vandalized all repairs and attempts to add editorial balance and context. *I* requested protection for the article after it became clear there was the chance it could descend into an edit war. Protection was granted in response to my request.
Once again, you need to educate yourself on the difference between placing a notability tag as an invitation to discussion on an article's encylopedic value and "trying to delete it."
Wikipedia is an evolving and dynamic resource; it is not a static parking page for reference articles. Entries are updated, edited, added, deleted and evolved as the community contributes. Purging 22 of 23 accepted source citations from an article without discussion or explanation is not a constructive activity. This is why I requested protection for the entry in question and why protection was granted.
Thanks for your input!

Let it stand as it is now. The Temporary President of the State Senate "performs all the duties of Lieutenant Governor", if a vacnacy occurs. So, they are Acting Lieutenant Governors. "If, when the duty of acting as governor devolves upon the temporary president of the senate, there be a vacancy in such office or the temporary president of the senate shall be absent from the state or otherwise unable to discharge the duties of governor, the speaker of the assembly shall act as governor during such vacancy or inability" State Constitution as of 2004. You see, the Speaker becomes Acting Governor if a triple vacancy occurs, but he NEVER presides over the State Senate, and does not perform any of the duties of the Lieutenant Governor, except standing in line for succession. So, if there is no Lieutenant Governor (like right now), and there is no Temporary President (as some claim), then there is just no Acting Lt. Gov. This happened many times: An historical example would be the resignation of Addison Gardiner to take office on the New York Court of Appeals in July 1847, and the election of Albert Lester as President pro tempore in September of the same year, when the State Senate reconvened. So, in August 1847, there was no Lieutenant Governor at all, none, nobody acting as... (The Speaker's succession is more recent.)Kraxler (talk) 15:37, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

While I understand your point, the fact that they changed the election year means that there was one term that was a different length. And while it is in the table, it's not obvious. I only added it after I searched for why an election didn't take place in 1883 for half an hour, and realized what had happened, so anyone else looking at the Gubernatorial History of Wisconsin will be aided, instead of wasting time in a fruitless search. -ekozie [@gmail.com] (talk) 19:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
A simpler way to do this would be to add two more columns - start and end date for Lt.Governors (except for the 5-6 govs who had two, this should coincide with the govs), and collapse all the rows and make the table sortable, if this is really required. I still don't see the point though. -SpacemanSpiff (talk) 16:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
A disgusting comment has been placed on the Metrication in the United States talk page. Can you remove it?
There are two principal reasons why the United States of North America has been unable to change to a sensible measurement system that 200 / 203 countries use.
1. The financial cost of such a change would probably cripple a weakening economy.
2. The average American lacks the intellect necessary to be able to handle such a change.

Hi Golbez,
I recently looked at your map United States 1789-08-1790.png and noted that the United Kingdom and UK are are refered to several times. No such place existed until 1801 with the formation of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. At the time the map relates to it was the Kingdom of Great Britain, or GB for short.

Hello Goblez. You might have noticed me regarding the stilltim issue. I am contacting you because a certain worry has been flying round my mind, and after I read "There is no remote way you are a native English speaker" by you on stilltim's talk page, I decided to raise my worry with you. Looking at stilltim's user page, it seems to me it was written by someone with good English. Now, looking at stilltim's latest responses, there is a clearly major decline in the standard of English being used. Before said decline, stilltim was still doing some controversial things, as now, but I don't think the sudden decline in the standard of English should be discounted. I am worried stilltim's account has been compromised. HonouraryMix (talk) 22:41, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I have no intention to kill anybody, and this threat will not happen again; I am just frustrated and angry because of permanent vandalism on List of Presidents of Madagascar from IP adress 192.18.43.225 (this is its talk page. Almost every day, it displays next message on List of Presidents - "Since 17 March 2009, Madagascar has no official elected President. A putschist, Andry Rajoelina, paid the Army and holds a dictatorial self-proclaimed regime". I think that we must permanently block this IP adress. --Иван Богданов (talk) 21:22, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
I have already admitted to you and your compatriots that I give up. Please stop harassing me. I don't know what else I can do.

Bluecanary99 (talk) 23:02, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
I think I've managed to convince Bluecanary99 to completely disengage from this matter, to include doing any "make-good" edits to related articles which I think is what he was doing yesterday that got your ire up. While there do appear to be some ducks quacking, if he makes good and stays clear of the problem areas (that got NP blocked as well), perhaps he can be a constructive editor, without the need for a block. Outside of this area, he does appear to be making constructive edits. ArakunemTalk 16:05, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I don't understand why you admins turn blind to Tajik (talk · contribs) when he goes around use sockpuppets in your faces and vandalize pages after pages. Is Wikipedia some type of gang related website? User:Tajik is removing sourced material from articles, this is vandalism and you admins allow it. He uses the excuse "falsification and POVs" but it's really him doing those if you concentrate on his edits. These are only few examples: , , , , He and Inuit18 (talk · contribs) (sockpuppet of Anoshirawan) pops up as a tag-team and usually at the same time, I believe that account is shared by him and someone in USA who's English is not so great. It's so strange that he comes everyday but only edit very little, so it's very likely that he's using sockpuppets to evade his 1 RR restriction. Tajik pretends that he is against POVs but it's he that is a POV pusher."The author - in this case al-Biruni - is referring to the Suleiman Mountains. In that case, it is highly probable that he was referring to Pashtuns, because he had described them as a "Hindu people" before.... Tajik (talk) 01:10, 26 June 2009 (UTC)". It's very clear for readers here that Tajik hates Pashtuns with great passion so he wants to give them a new history which would make them being Hindus when all the scholars, history books, encyclopedias, and the Pashtuns themselves, disagree. There is "zero traces" of any Hindu culture among the Pashtuns. Anyway, Tajik was blocked 17 times and banned for a whole year but he doesn't seem to care about any of that, he just wants to remove things from articles that he doesn't agree with or doesn't like. This is a serious problem and you guys should put an end to it. I also believe Muxlim (talk · contribs) is him.

Re : This implies of course that someone would get blocked for making personal attacks. Doesn't happen much in practice. I've been insulted more times than I can even count, most recently (before Иван Богданов) by an administrator unrepentantly calling me a troll. Not once has anyone who has insulted me ever been blocked, and rare is the occasion they are even warned. There's perhaps a bit of implication too that I had anything to negotiate about. I didn't make any personal attacks. Never have, never will. What I did do was remove non-free content from Иван Богданов's userpage. He didn't like that. I don't really care if he liked it or not. But, he continued to be uncivil despite three editors (including myself) warning him against doing so. Onwards... --Hammersoft (talk) 21:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
I noticed you reverted an IP edit yesterday, and I have done the same myself.

The very first lines of the article say that the city is a de-jure part of Azerbaijan.

Your map seems to be excellent except for a few minor details i have discovered while perusing the subject. Many of the northern arctic islands were not discovered and claimed by anyone until the 20th century, while i dont think that all of these need to be shown on the map i think it would be helpful to the viewer if the larger ones were shown as terra nullis before their discovery. The only islands that are large enough to be visible on your map and would be affected by such a change are,
In addition the sverdrup islands are shown as belonging to canada with the cession of the british arctic territories though they were undiscovered and terra nullis until the 1898 and then officially unclaimed until 1928 when Norway put forth a claim, the islands were then ceded to canada in 1930. These territorial changes represent huge changes to the soveriegn area of canada and are all larger than prince edward island which has its territorial change shown on the map. As such would not these specific aquazitions be subject for inclusion? I would make the changes myself, though i am quite inexperienced at making graphics and have very poor software suited to the taskXavierGreen (talk) 23:54, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
Isn't there some sort of WP "No-Fly" list this clown can be put on after his ban? His last edits demonstrate a strong anti-American sentiment (and extreme willingness to "spout it out"), and it's doubtful someone like this can be "rehabilitated" enough to constructively edit WP; I mean, he tried to edit the United States article with his attitude!. Is there such a list? Or does he get the "benefit of the doubt", which would be a shame... Doc9871 (talk) 18:56, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, need your help. I registered to Wikipedia having witnessed the user B. Fairbairn constant removal of Time references in many pages. (I have Spielberg page on my watchlist as the user appears to be on a mission to edit out Time.) On a sidenote, he makes agitating comments purely to stir...example, 10 June 2009, on the United States page on Broadway theatre, text below the image stated "host to many popular shows"... and he added "and some unpopular ones".. and in his reason for edit stated.."Being a realist here".
Having only been an observer on Wikipedia, i was prompted to register having seen this users disruptive edits. I noticed you commented to him before, on the US talk page. He has been threatened with being banned before, also his three edit warring (which has disappeared from his page). This is an example of a comment he received..."Let me put it a little more bluntly. Every one of your recent edits to the United States article has been reverted. Now, I can see the logic behind some of them and perhaps discussion on the Talk Page will result in some of your edits being allowed to stand. However, the current situation is that you have been guilty of disruptive editing at United States. Please discuss any proposed edits at Talk:United States and form a consensus for them before proceeding. The next edit/revert cycle will result in you being blocked. --Richard (talk) 06:55, 11 June 2009 (UTC)...

Hi Golbez! The only thing remaining in your FLC comments on the above article is about the formatting of the footnotes, and not anything to do with the Featured List criteria.

Hello. I notice you deleted the following article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Mid-Heavyweight_Championship
... as being patent nonsense
I was wondering if you can recall exactly what kind of "patent nonsense" was in the article and whether there were any earlier versions which made sense, in which case it may well simply have fallen victim to vandalism? the page is linked-to on several other pages, so it would appear to me that at some point in the past, there was something intelligible there.
You appear, from your user page to be a respected Wikipedia editor. I trust therefore that you did not delete it merely because you dislike for professional wrestling and (as some non-fans might do!) consider anything to do with to be 'patent nonsense'! :)
I ask this because I intend to write a replacement article some time soon.

The previous map which is this[File:Iran-Ethnicity-2004.PNG] was totally wrong but because the user User:Bahramm 2 is kurd!

Re Governor of Alaska/List of Governors of Alaska - It sounds like you would like a bit more context to be added to the list, that one paragraph on Alaska's path to statehood removed from the list page. Also, you write that an article on an office "should contain information about its powers, how you become it, the qualifications, etc." - I agree, and the spun-off article includes all of that, although obviously it can be expanded.
So all of these improvements sounds like things that can and should be done later - they do not call for snarkiness, summary reversal of edits, etc. In your edit summary you write that splitting an article is "unilateral." Editing and modifying pages (and even splitting and moving them) "unilaterally" is part of what this encyclopedia is all about. This seems like a be bold/sofixit issue. If you think a split could be better executed, help improve it, don't summarily revert it! Acting unilaterally is far more problematic when we're talking about reverts (!) rather than edits.
Look forward to working with you in the future --Neutralitytalk 02:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi, Since you have given warnings before, here is another user: . I believe an admin warning is stronger. He removed the Kurdish people category while it is well known that the mother of the poet was Kurdish. All of his work was Persian. His father whom he was orphaned from early also could not be "Azerbaijani" as such an ethnic group/identity was not formed in 1150. The chance of his father being an Oghuz Turk (such an ethnonym did exist) is near zero. I appreciate if you keep an eye on that article. Thank you. --Pahlavannariman (talk) 17:17, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Please see Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/delist/File:CSA states evolution.gif. It is an effort by someone to delist your animation as a Featured Picture. It ominously appears that it might be an effort at more than that. Greg L (talk) 14:43, 8 May 2010 (UTC)
BTW, you might consider creating a smaller version of your animation that is exactly the size as used in the articles. Be eliminating the need for scaling, you will avoid this problem altogether. Alternatively, you can create one that requires less scaling and isn’t as big; one that is 660 x 447 pixels. Across all 42 frames, that will put it at 12.39 MP, which is under the 12.5 MP threshold at which this technical bug crops up. You could then simply replace your current file on Commons. By doing so, it would retain FP status and—perhaps most important of all—the animation will automatically start working in all the articles in which it appears. Greg L (talk) 15:08, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Golbez, in my opinion you are wrong. I shall explain: "In 1991 the parliament of Azerbaijan abolished **** province, incorporating its territory into the 8888." This sentence in ANY of such articles is written in a manner, that Azerbaijan (parliament) did something actually. The only thing is did is a ruling for itself. This is misleading wording. The reality is, that this division of the territory is only for Azerbaijan's internal use and has not anything in common with the factual situation. A direct implication that, to be short, the parliament said "this" and so happened is in no way what really happened. So that is what has to be mentioned in one way r an other. If for somebody's "ears" some sentence everywhere is annoying, an other same sentence is too. Isn't it? Aregakn (talk) 13:55, 15 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi Golbez. I noticed you reverted my edit on Burj Khalifa, claiming I removed 3 references. It is true it might seem that way, but if you look at the history you will notice that AnomieBOT "rescued" some references which were deleted by vandalism. My edit simply went further back in fixing the vandalism, after attempts to fix it by 115.133.0.95 and Adikhebat. If you don't believe me, take a look at this diff between your edit on 1 June and my version just now.
More about AnomieBOT: Because this article uses named references (<ref name="name">...</ref>), when the "definition" of the named reference gets deleted, it orphans other references using the same name. AnomieBOT tries to fix this by "rescuing" these orphaned references. Unfortunately, AnomieBOT cannot tell the difference between good edits and vandalism.

NO. All other states on Wikipedia clearly number their governors starting at statehood, except for Connecticut. I think that for the Connecticut article, we should number the colonial and state governors separately like every other state does. Also, just because the state numbers the governors a certain way, does it mean its right or correct? --Matt319 (talk) 02:59, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help on getting Governors of Utah into much better shape and through FL. My next list to push through is United States congressional delegations from Utah. Looks like you were also the major player in editing this too. Is there nothing you haven't started or edited? I'm starting to think you are not just one person, but several hundred who edit under Golbez. Only Indian's congressional delegation has made to FL, so there's not much out there to base Utah's on. Any suggestions would be EXTREMELY appreciated. If there are any articles you need help or man power, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm in your debt for helping me out.

Most of the photos where already there. I've filled in some of the blanks. I have questions on copyright status of the missing Governors (and a few photos that are already there). Washington has a nice copyright status... almost anything the state produces is in the public domain. But, I'm not sure who produced some of the photos. Bgwhite (talk) 05:40, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

I've finished updating the List of Governors of Wisconsin to current FL standards. The list is already at FL. I didn't change the wording much, mostly just the tables and adding sources. Take a look to see if I messed anything up. I'll look to updating another governor's FL next.
I'd like to submit an article to FLC tomorrow. Looks like the summer backlog is hitting FLC, so it probably would take a bit for an article to get through. Personally, I like to get congregational delegation of Utah out of the way first. If you want governors of Florida or Washington to go first that is fine too. If I submit something, I will add you as a co-nominator. Bgwhite (talk) 06:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi! I'm writing to you hoping you can help me. I'm creating the SVG maps of all Italian provinces grouped by region. I think they could replace the PNG maps now present on Commons in Atlas of Italy in the section "Provinces of Italy". By now, I've created the maps of Sicily (compare it with the PNG one) and Abruzzo (that should supersede this one), the other 18 will come shortly. Moreover, these new maps have a larger text, which can also be translated in other languages, as you can see for the map of Sicily. What I ask to you is: can I simply replace the maps in the Atlas (if it's possible) or should I make a request to someone to not interfere with the project? Thank you!

I know you just loooove infoboxes. I have feeling we are going to agree to disagree. So, is there some compromise we could work up? I removed the insignia from the Alaska page and will do it to the rest of the pages... This makes the infobox much more compact. Don't put infoboxes on list articles where the article has a corresponding governor article, such as Indiana and Kentucky? However, several governor articles (Alabama, Arkansas and Hawaii) should be redirect to their corresponding list page. Any ideas on your end?

I would have expected that an administrator would appreciate the need to strike out the comments that question the user as being too stupid or lazy for anything. As you snarkily put it to another user: "If you had vision that wasn't relegated to a tunnel, you would have seen I was simply using his words." OK fine, you were using another person's words to make a point; but that person struck those words - you should have struck the entire question (asked at 16:00, 24 August 2010 (UTC)) as well; the question (not the sentence after it), when left to stand, is totally inappropriate. If someone found something to be unaffordable, that doesn't mean their intelligence and activity is to blame (it might be the case; it might not be in this case - but neither of us know as a matter of fact - one should refrain from making such comments, let alone assumptions, when you have no actual proof).

Hi,Golbez,
I'm in Oxford, MS working on a museum exhibit for a National Historic Landmark. The subject matter is the Civil War era. In doing some research I stumbled onto your animated US Slave Free 1789-1861 map. I was very excited because it perfectly says what I couldn't explain with the limited number of words I have to work with for the exhibit panels. I was planning on using it (giving attribution), but the African American slavery professor I've been consulting with urged me to check your sources first, which you have not provided. So I've been studying the map more closely and see what I believe are some errors. The color key does not include the "mottled" green, but your description provides a partial explanation. (Several states are affected, but you only refer to NY and NJ.) In researching states with gradual emancipation, which I believe is what you are trying to show with the green, I found: You've included MA and VT, but they ended slavery in 1783 and 1777. You don't include NJ, but it had slavery until 1865. Also, the green doesn't appear until 1821, but gradual emancipation started between 1783-1804 for the affected states. I will appreciate your response to these comments, and I'm also wondering if you can make corrections to the map. As much as I want to use it, I'm concerned not just that there may be errors in it, but that the "unkeyed" green color may confuse visitors. And I do fully appreciate that this is a very complex subject you have tackled with the map! Thank you. Exhibitmanager (talk) 01:27, 4 October 2010 (UTC)
When I referred to those "boring, redundant threads" on the U.S. Talk page, I hope you didn't take that in anyway as a commentary on your contributions to them.

Best, Dan.—DCGeist (talk) 21:55, 5 October 2010 (UTC)
Hi Golbez, is there any reason that your old user talk page archives, such as at User talk:Golbez/Archive Shichi, are deleted? I don't mind it if you wanted to re-organise those archives, but the problem is that they contain significant page history, which should almost never be deleted. Would you mind if I history merged your main talk page with these archives? If they contain significant personal information, I won't touch them; I discovered them through a list of pages with a high number of deleted revisions. Also, why are your archives numbered in Arabic numerals such as this one not linked from your user talk page? Graham87 14:20, 11 October 2010 (UTC)
I don't really have time to do a lot of extensive proof reading, so when I see an error I sometimes will slap up a template and hope someone has the time to do that for me. Sorry if it sounded like I was making a big production out of nothing. I also tend to get very preaching upon finding bias in an article. --IronMaidenRocks (talk) 05:51, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
Democratic Republic of Armenia Democratic Republic of Azerbaijan
Since you're a third, objective person, I'd like you to come check this out. I want to include a map of the first republic of Armenia (from 1918-1920). From 1918 to 1919, Armenia and Azerbaijan were at war. Borders were not set. Therefore, it's difficult to have a map that's accurate. I made a comprehensive map that shows all the territory that Armenia had stable control over (Yerevan, Kars, Sevan and Gyumri). The rest of the territory that Armenia claimed is separated into two parts. Regions that were mostly under Armenian control, and regions mostly under Azerbaijani control. These are territories that both Armenia and Azerbaijan claimed, and warred over, and the borders often changed. This includes Zangezur, Nakhichevan, Karabakh. My map is sourced by a non-Armenian source, and it even uses contemporary maps of the time to prove it. This site perfectly explains the situation of the time (non-Armenian source): http://conflicts.rem33.com/images/Armenia/disp.htm
A user named Neftchi continuously removes my map using the usual "Nakhchivan, Zangezur and Karabakh have always been Azerbaijani" rhetoric. But I have material to prove him wrong, therefore, I started a discussion on the article to argue about it. I presented all of my arguments, and he hasn't written a word to discuss with me. Instead, he just started an edit war with me, and when he realized I'm not giving up without an argument, he decided to put a map of Azerbaijan that includes ALL territories Azerbaijan claimed at the Paris Peace conference. That map is extremely inaccurate, as it completely ignores the territories Armenian militia controlled. Borders weren't recognized at the time, only the governments were, because Georgia, Armenia and Azerbaijan were all at war. Only proposals were made, and they were still being discussed when the Soviet Union conquered the Caucasus, and set the borders themselves. So I removed his map using the argument that it is biased, and that it ignores the Armenian side.
Please compare: I could have done like him and posted a map that includes all territories Armenia claimed, but that would have been biased. Instead, I posted a map that shows what each side controlled. At least my map doesn't assume that everything Armenia claimed actually belonged to Armenia. My map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:D_R_Armenia.png His map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Azerbaijan_Democratic_Republic_1918_20.png
Tell me which one is more objective? And he says my map is not sourced. He clearly hasn't read the "Source" of my map. Plus he doesn't even take the time to discuss, he just imposes his views without a single word of argument. Something must be done here. I don't mind making an objective map of Azerbaijan as well. But it would be good if it wasn't ignorant people with a political agenda, but those with an interest in historical facts to make the final decisions on what maps should be used.

Thank you very much for your two cents as I also had to think twice about the meaning of the paragraph as you had mentioned. Let me know in the FA review if you have any other recommendations for improvement. KimChee (talk) 02:17, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I finally got around to Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Governors of Maine/archive2—can you look at the bottom comment about references? —Designate (talk) 05:50, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
Thank goodness, it's only 3 states that have such confusion. GoodDay (talk) 21:35, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
More states? There's just no more John Tyler types. GoodDay (talk) 21:42, 24 November 2010 (UTC)
So I finally told the link remover a thing or two. See User talk:205.250.211.36. No more mister nice editor on that front. Let me know what you think. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:26, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Wowsers, it's amazing that this is the first time (under the curernt -1872- state Constitution), that the gubernatorial succession clause was put into effect. A rarity for any US state. GoodDay (talk) 06:01, 28 November 2010 (UTC)
My name is Sophia and I am a PhD student at University of Colorado in Boulder researching the use of social media for historically significant crises like Hurricane Katrina and the 9/11 attacks. I am interested in what kind of values and practices are emerging from these disasters especially with the use of ubiquitous technologies like blogs and social media sites like Wikipedia. I am contacting you because I noticed you are one of the top contributors of the Hurricane Katrina Wikipedia article and the September 11 attacks article. I was wondering if you would be open to answering some questions for my dissertation research on this topic. One example of a question I have is: You provided a considerable amount of edits to the Hurricane Katrina Wikipedia article. What kind of edits did you make? What story was being told before you edited the article and how does that differ from what is in Wikipedia now? Feel free to email me at Sophia.Liu@colorado.edu if you have any questions. Thanks for your time, Sophia --Sophiabliu (talk) 05:45, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Thank you for this edit, the wp:burden is on you to back up your claims with reliable sources, which should be added following the next restoration Fasach Nua (talk) 20:39, 2 December 2010 (UTC)
Hey Golbez. Just wanted to say firstly thanks for your continued efforts and contributions at FLC, much appreciated. Secondly, could you return to this FLC and cap comments that have been resolved? I think we have a problem with tl;dr so it'd be useful to trim the text down where we can to encourage further review. All the best, The Rambling Man (talk) 19:40, 6 December 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for sticking up for me. Much appreciated. SchuminWeb (Talk) 02:48, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

I tied up the loose ends at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of Governors of Maine/archive2; do you mind taking one more look? —Designate (talk) 20:36, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

According to , by legal ruling, Newsom does not become Lt. Governor until he takes the oath of office. Corvus cornixtalk 21:40, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi, I would appreciate very much your neutral comment at Talk:Drmbon. Thanks in advance. -- Ashot (talk) 11:42, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
A new user moved List of Governors of Arizona to Governors of Arizona. As the page was edited after the move, I don't know how to undo the move. The move help page suggested to contact an administrator to undo the move in this situation. The discussion is at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Undo move of Governors of Arizona. I'm not sure if I'm overstepping boundaries or making to much out of this. Bgwhite (talk) 06:51, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello! Thank you for your comments at my nomination of List of current sovereign monarchs. I believe most of the issues you presented have been resolved. Could you please revisit your comment on the page, and let me know if there is anything else to consider before the administrators make their decision? Thanks again, Nightw 03:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
I believe I have addressed your concerns at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/Nashville Vols all-time roster/archive1. Would you please revisit and offer further suggestions or give it your support? NatureBoyMD (talk) 00:27, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Golbez, would appreciate very much your input at Naming conventions. Thanks. -- Ashot (talk) 15:59, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
Hi Golbez,
Since you are a well-informed neutral admin, I would like to ask you to keep an eye on Tartar river, which seems grow to another another dispute topic.
I noticed that your edit summaries, at least for talk page posts, are often blank. It's helpful if you edit the section rather than the page, because then at least the name of the section you are editing is reflected in the edit summary. Adding a brief of summary of what you are saying is even more helpful. For example, in the recent edit history of Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (geographic names) it's impossible to discern from the history what your edits are about, in contrast to those made by most others. Thank you. --Born2cycle (talk) 19:46, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
Really a great piece you wrote on NK. I wish there was some medal I could bestow to you but in lieu of such a commendation, perhaps just an expression of thanks? God give you strength and patience.--Marshal Bagramyan (talk) 17:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)
Thanks to this note of Marshall Bagramyan I could read the essay. I also captured the idea of medal, so here it is:
