As another anti-vandalism editor, I have a favor to ask. I'm having some trouble with an editor who keeps reverting an article to a version which has major factual errors, a sentence of blatant POV inserted, some typos, and blanks some very extensive parts of the article. He has also violated 3RR pretty severely in the process. To make a long story short, I was wondering if you'd be willing to take a look at the article. I, myself, can't revert the article again for quite a few hours, since I've done it 3 times today and it's not pure & simple vandalism. If you don't see good reason to revert it, by all means leave it alone, but if you see sufficient problems to warrant reverting it, by all means, be my guest.
If you're willing to do me this favor, you may find the article at IQ and the Wealth of Nations, and the revert type in question here.. If you're busy and can't so it, no problem! Thanks for taking the time to read this, whatever your decision. Poindexter Propellerhead 08:36, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for you reply.
The thing is the page I created does NOT conflict with the original Veer Zaara page, because almost everything is identical. The only diffference between my page and that is a slightly different synopsis. Everything else was taken exactly as it was on the other page, so that there is no conflict.
Like I said, the only reason I created this page is that so readers/visitors have a chance to contribute to the page with freedom from constantly being censored based on the editors opinions and whims.
I hope that this separate Veer Zara page won't be taken down

Regarding your speedy delete tagging of this article, G4 only applies if the article's deletion has been discussed at WP:AFD, it does not apply to content previously speedy deleted as it appears in this case. However, the reason it was deleted previously may still apply so I would invite you to tag it for speedy deletion again if you determine it to be appropriate. Regards. Adambro 18:27, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice/info, I am still somewhat of a novice and hadn't realised that speedy deletes do not qualify in respect of a G4. Much appreciated. Cheers. • nancy • 21:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello, KirkEnd: I recently posted a law firm description in line with other descriptions on Wikipedia's List of law firms, however my post was deleted and cited as promotional material. I am just wondering why other law firm descriptions are not cited as promotional as well (McDermott Will & Emery, Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom)?

I thought you were supposed to sign each entry ( Ms. Stephenson ) and when you do automatically shows your name unless not logged in. I thought I wasn't suppose to delete and just whoever edited deleted. Times when no name I forgot to log in first before editing. I just learned that everyone could edit in past week or so so thought just regular people were deleting not official wikipedia staff. I'm guessing you are official wikipedia staff. I'd have to edit again and delete name and then when I put ( Ms. Stephenson 02:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)) at end would automatically show my name again or has been. I have a MAC that's over ten years old so maybe that doesn't happen with newer versions because I've noticed lots of websites my MAC is too old to completely mesh. Model is one model too old to download lots of things. So maybe I should know at this point yet I'm not certain if I'm supposed to put ( Ms. Stephenson 02:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC)) at end of entry and, when logged in, name automatically shows up since my user name. Perhaps, I made a mistake making my user login name my real name. Any and all help doing things correctly on Wikipedia appreciated. Thank you. Ms. Stephenson P.S. I'm previewing and actually just automatically showed my name again when I typed four tides between two parenthesis. Oh, I just noticed says, "On talk pages, please sign your comment by typing four tildes (Ms. Stephenson 02:53, 3 August 2007 (UTC))." My apologies...I'm just now learning what talk page is. Okay so I'm only supposed to sign four tides between two parenthesis on talk pages. I see now.

Hey there Nancy,
I'm a bit confused about these policies can you please explain? Allremodel is a source for remodeling tips and ideas, for contractors and people looking to do any type of remodeling or improvement. I really think our remarks about remodeling should be included so others can learn. A little about me: I have been a part of the construction industry for over nineteen years and I am tired of having a similar reputation to lawyers, advertising people and politicians. There are a lot of terrific contractors in our industry and we deserve better. Thats why I was compelled to start a new web site called Allremodel.com. When you match the right information about remodeling and hard working and responsible contractors with the right home owner, everyone wins! It is simple. Allremodel has been online since 2004 and Incorporeded since 1999. allremodel has many publications online, in print and radio. please please help me understand Allremodel com Tips 21:51, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I couldn't believe it when someone called me to tell me that there was this entry made in the Truro Nova Scotia page of wikipedia. Having followed the the issue locally, and personally knowing Bill Mills, the mayor, it has been rather pathetic watching this blatant misreporting going on in the media. To start using Wikipedia as another form of continued misinformation is shameful, giving the desire of wikipedia.org to have a trustworthy resource of relevant current information. This current affairs issue is NOT history. And if there are those interested in making this an entry on the page, do it somewhere where it is more relevant, and then have the consistency to add to it all other current affairs in Truro's history. The fact that this will not happen demonstrates the purpose behind why someone put it there in the first place.
Keep it factual, for fact's sake not as a platform for misinformed opinions and political opinions. Put it on their favorite "rainbow" wikipedia pages.Obi123 17:18, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Obi123, the issue here is not your personal opinion on the topic but rather whether it is appropriate for you to remove wholesale an established part of the article. My role in this is that I saw you remove a section of the article which has, by consensus been agreed as a valid section and so I reverted your edit. If you disagree with the section the proper way to deal with it is to discuss your views on the article's talk page and reach a consensus with the other editors. It is not right for you to impose your singular view without discussion. Also the removal of content in this way is considered vandalism and if you continue to do it you run the risk of being blocked from editing and therefore you losing your chance to debate this issue in the correct forum. Hope this is helpful and hope you resolve your issues with the article amicably. Kind regards, • nancy • 17:27, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
To my knowledge, I deleted it, but once. Thankyou for the protocol lesson, which, if needed, will be used in the future.Obi123 02:31, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Also, having followed these issues with interest for a number of years, I have looked at wikipedia entries for other such municipalities in the area where these issues have come up and politicians hauled in before human rights comissions. None of these municipalities have such similar entries in them regarding these well-publicized events. There were those rallying against the mayor who called on people to hoist the rainbow flag in their front yards. I drove around town for the better part of the afternoon looking for the evidence of this so-called "majority" doing the complaining. Apart from our Rainbow Motel, on Prince St., there is no evidence of rainbows anywhere. It would not have mattered to me one way or the other about the decision, but the request was decided by town council, (6-1 against...) not the mayor, who everyone targeted because of his well-known opinion, which has won him the last number of elections (10 years as mayor and the previous 10 as councilor). That someone can arbitrarily add such an irrelevant entry to Truro (based on other entries for cities, towns and villages), is just an attempt to draw attention to something that means more to people outside of this municipality, than it does to those of us here. iow, there are no "current affairs" entries, nor history entries covering these issues.

The content of this article is made freely available for use as permitted under the WikiPedia GFDL by the Jornada Basin LTER research project, New Mexico State University, and the U.S. Long-Term Ecological Research Network. I am the creator of the content and web master for the Jornada Basin LTER project at New Mexico State University. While I copied text from several web pages that I administer and maintain, this is not violating any copyrights held by the Jornada Basin LTER, New Mexico State University, or the U.S. LTER Network.

Hi Nancy,
The BBC article about the boneheads at Cowes is just staggering - where do they park their brain cells? The ruling that PWC are not classified as boats and are therefore exempt from the 'no alchohol/ColRegs laws is just bizarre. But back to Fractional Sailing and my need to understand what Wikipedia is about.
I have seen that a great chunk of what I wrote has been removed. Unless it is you (why?), I suspect that the culprit is an aggrieved company in the fractional sailing world as the article 'spills the beans' as it were and tilts the deal in favour of the consumer.
I now see that one of the companies has been removed with the accusation of spamming Wikipedia by the same address that cut out most of the article. What is to be done?
The information in the article is factual and important in protecting the public against misrepresentation. It mentions no names nor does it need to as the info is generalised and applicable globally.
Can anyone do what they want on Wikipedia? If I systematically erased every page I came across, is this acceptable? (er..........just a philosophical question, by the way).
Questions, questions.
Kindest etc.
Nancy,
That's quite clear and thanks for the explanation of style modification required. I will spend some time later this week on it as I think that it is an important topic (to we sailores, at least).
Thank goodness that there is a much higher level of safety training imposed for the Fastnet boats as it seems to be quite a party in the West country. This weather makes me quite happy to be on dry land...............it's a different matter when making passage as foul conditions and the handling thereof are part of the fun (yikes, the man's mad).

Hi Nancy, I have following reasons for why the page is not an advertising page. -> "Innovations" is a theme based platform which will focus on innovations from the developing nations. Presently this is targeted at India. We want to bring in topics and innovators which have done something on a platform. So this page in near future can trigger lot of discussions and be the trunk of the tree. -> Going ahead, we see that this platform will also be used to edit and discuss about several innovations and the ones which should be showcased. -> The platform is created by alumni of IIT Bombay, one of the most reputed institute. I am the alumnus of this institute which is commited to technology. I dont think we have any intentions of using Wikipedia as advertising / promoting medium. -> This entire initiative is not for profit. No intentions of really advertising this.
I am not very familiar in using Wikipedia and I am learning. It is just today that I realised this page was marked for deletion.
If you think that my arguments are valid, I request you to restore this page.

My last major edit to the Down Town Association was completely removed by a URL identified user with comment 'sounds like an ad or pamphlet'. It was an attempt to describe the interior of the Clubhouse, which is not open to the public and is not published anywhere. I don't mind editing out some of the more descriptive bits but fail to see why a description of the interior wouldn't be warranted. There is a request for more info for almost all the listed private clubs and it is adding information to describe how these buildings are actually designed and used.

Nancy,
The Down Town Association description was heavily deleted again after I took your advice and made this less descriptive. The interiors of these clubs are as important as the exteriors and can't be separated from their history. Present and former usage is certainly of interest to any historian of clubs, which are not open to the public. The architects did not just design the exteriors. I fail to see how the interior of Versailles for example is not relevant to Versailles itself. I have noted descriptions in any number of other architectural articles. What can I do about this, if anything, or can anybody just delete huge portions of entries they don't like? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Snbfarmer1 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
Dear Nancy, We have personally gone to the expense of doing a search for Rotai by other means, in hope of finding a Master of this ancient and secret art. We did a Business search and there is "Rotai Australia" in existance. The owner is James L Bronson. He is in the Penrith area. We have posted him a letter requesting more information, and asking if he is the Master Jimi that was renowned for healing in the 70's. This man would be in his late 60's or early 70's now. Just because you have not heard of this word Rotai before, does not mean that it has never been in existence. I thought you would be interested in learning new things. There are now seven people looking for this healer and I have found 6 people who know of him and that Rotai is factual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kestrel07 (talk • contribs) 09:14, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your efforts not to WP:BITE and your work here. Best ! Pedro : Chat 15:15, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
It was not vandalism, it was a name they actually used, please see the talk and click on their official website! They used that name before chaging to a more PC one. - Cult Fan (talk) 09:33, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
"'The Queerboys’ started building up a following, playing the old Marquee, regularly selling it out. Unfortunately for the guys their name was causing a real stir, forcing some gigs on a ‘Cherry Bombs’ tour to be cancelled."
Somebody else just gave me a warning about it too, which is ridiculous, as it was their actual name. - Cult Fan (talk) 11:13, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello Nancy,
I completely replaced the text in "Synaptotagmin" article because the current version is (I am sorry to say) totally ridiculous. Of course the article contains some correct information but, comparing to multiple wrong statements and inaccuracies the relative amount of this correct information is rather minimum.
I am a faculty member at Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas and I work on synaptotagmins. You can verify this by going to www.ncbi.nih.gov and running a PubMed search with key words "maximov a" and "synaptotagmin"
The text that tried to post was taken from my recent review written for encyclopedia of neuroscience.

Nancy,
I can see why you would re-direct the 'Winter Quadrathlon" to "Quadrathlon", as the Winter Quad is a not as widely known, but I can assure you they are two completely different competitions and that every statement in the post is true.
What validation do you require to leave the post as is? - I can provide it. I am certain that you have to weed through a lot of mess each day, but in this case we are dealing with a lack of prominence, not a lack of accuracy.
Thank you for your time.
Respectfully,

Hi Nancy,
Your recent reply to my comments don't really justify any wiki reservations, in my opinion.
Because I am related to Mic does not mean that I cannot be objective - this is a rather narrow point of view. Would it also be viewed as wrong for the daughter of Elvis to write about him? Rather silly.
I agree that two wrongs do not make a right - it still means, however, that similar articles are being allowed. Who is to confirm - who exactly wrote them?
So much for honesty.
Again if you feel the warning are warranted - just remove the article - I won't bother you or Wiki again.

Royal Navy, in fact, my son was born during a second 5 month deployment over Xmas 1984/85.
As far as notability goes, again, this is a purely subjective area - is Mic any more or less notable than Jason Bradbury or Tom Dunmore - in my opinion, I don't think so. In fact, you could argue that, to date his acheivements stand up well to scrutiny. Mike Wmike (talk) 08:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thank you to check my article about Mathieu Crépel. But could you tell me why the major part of my article has been deleted? I can't belive that the career of Mathieu must be reinvented to make you happy. His career in necessary the same in every profiles and websites you will find. Would you like that I invent another life for Mathieu Crepel? But the most surprising for me is that you think I'm not neutral! I don't know if you know that mathieu is realy the most famous snowboarder in France, for the major part of the french population, he is the only snowboarder they know! I don't know where do you come from but I can insist on the fact that if you are not french, you can't understand the popularity of Mathieu Crépel in France. And I would like also to know why you deleted the like at the end which allowed to link the others articles about Mathieu Crepel and to find this article when you clic on a link "Mathieu Crepel" on the english part of wikipédia? This link was very usefull! So it will be very kind from you if you can check another time this article, taking into consideration my observations. Kind regardsSnowfun (talk) 20:57, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nancy,
Thanks for your answer, I had obtained the agrement to use the various sentences you had cut, so for me it was not a copyright violation, but i can understand your point of view: you can guess it. And I'm not sure that to delete all results of the mathieu's childwood is a good thing to make a good article, now, when you read this article, you can note that Mathieu started snowboarding at the age of 6, and that he became world champion this year. We can suppose that he had done nothing in snowboard during 6 and 23 years. I'm also surprised to notice that it is for you necessary to have a secondary source, to know mathieu's fame. But to make you happy, i add two "secondary sources". I hope it will convince you to delete the sentences: "does not cite any references or sources": there are 4 links which are used to illustrate this article. But also:"Its neutrality is disputed." because you have deleted everything which could be considered as not neutral. Moreover, I'm convinced that it was not being biased to tell that Mathieu was considered as the best snowboarder now in France. It is just the truth, and you can check the results of others french snowboarder to notice that it is true. Never before a french snowboarder had been as much famous and successful. To finish, i'd like you to help me to make the necessary to improve the "grammar, style, cohesion, tone and/or spelling", I'm not expert about wikipedia and your help will be very usefull.
So I think you understand that my target was to make you to remove the various sentences which criticize my article (at the top), because this article could'nt be credible with these sentences at the top. I hope I can rely on you.
Kind Regards Snowfun 14:12, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Congratulation Nancy, it is a very good work, this article is now very interesting thanks to you! The new links are also very usefull! It was a plasure to rely on your help to make this article. However, I belive that it would be important to deal with the "MC invitational", which is the new event organized by Mathieu. Moreover the environnemental implication of Mathieu in the two foundations he supports is also important. To finish, I think that this article would be excellent if we talk about "the little monkey" and his ability in skating and snowboarding (Mathieu is wellknown to be also an excellent surfer). Thank you for your help! Kind regards Snowfun 22:21, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Good work! I have only found this source on the Nokia FISE website(but it is in french). The "little monkey" is mentionned also in the book published by Rival editions. This nickname was mainly used when Mathieu was child, now, it is not very used. You can trust me, I will be careful with the informations about "living people". However, the environmental implication of Mathieu is well known. I looked for sources; but I haven't find interesting informations for the moment. But to convice you about the environmental implication of Mathieu, you can check his website, in the part "video" you can select "december 06", and you will saw a video about that. It will be also a good idea to mention that Mathieu was also a good surfer. The Quik cup are competitions which mixed both surf and snowboard, so people initiated know that, whereas others believe that Mathieu is only snowboarder. Kind Regards Snowfun 16:24, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
I would like to congratulate you, this article is very good and very interesting. I'm not afraid to edit this article but I did'nt want to spoil your work! Now I can say that with your work, this article is complete, to improve it, we have only to wait another good result of Mathieu! I will manage to have the right to use a photo, to illustrate this article (don't panic, the copyright will be respected!). I hope to have this right in the next weeks. Another time, tkanks for your help, it was a plasure to rely on you. Kind Regards. Snowfun 01:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Nancy. Sorry about the confusion on the Quo Vadis (movie theater). I didn't realize about the cutting and pasting. It was my first Wiki article that I created.--User:1337platypus 16:29, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nancy, I am writing about the article I have started (Amy O'Malley)and which you have flagged for deletion. I am a new member here and still trying to figure everything out. I do have verifiable references for the article in question, namely the actress's bio and stats under her agent/managment's website, however I am not sure if using this reference violates the privacy guidelines set out by Wikipedia, as it also includes contact information. Could you please advise? Many thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theatrebuff2 (talk • contribs) 01:01, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your contribution to the Chantal Claret article. I have been having a battle with 'Neon white' over the validity of the engagement references. He will probably delete your reference section. I stuck in a warning entry at the top of the page a couple of days ago (that somebody already removed) to explain that the page isn't totally referenced and that it didn't meet the strictest interpretation of Wikipedia 'quality'. That seemed to have shut him up for a couple of days, so you might try that if he starts whining about your references section. This engagement thing has really been a pain in the neck. If you go back through the talk pages you'll see how hard it has been for people to accept it. Chantal asked me to keep trying to keep it straight on her and James' pages and it is more work than I had counted on. I moderate her message board so I'm online almost all my waking hours. The IMDB doesn't have an engagement category, so it lists them as spouses and so I can't use that reference. It is too bad because almost everybody will accept that as a valid source. Oh well.

Hi again Nancy. This is again in regard to the Wikipedia article on Chantal Claret. The editing bully is back and attempting to raise the stakes. He has put a request for deletion on the article and keeps threating me with banishment for trying to protect the article from his vandalism.
Got any suggestions? I answered him on my talk page and there is a good summary as to why he is dead wrong about the deletion due to lack of meeting the Wikipedia requirements for a musician to be notable on the request for deletion page. This guy is seriously disturbed and the deeper his ego gets involved, the worse it gets.
Thanks in advance, DrDelos DrDelos (talk) 01:29, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Nancy,
The validity of the engagement references was settled by consensus in June. The notability question was also settled some time ago. The merger with Morningwood question was also settled by consensus several months ago. Neon is just a bully and he thinks he found an article that he can roll over and cause trouble while he hides behind the skirts of Wikipedia rules. I have plenty of valid sources, but Neon will do everything he can to invalidate any I post. I might post some if I have time. I do have a life. Second - Neon seems to think I have a sock puppet. I do NOT. I am 99% certain that I know who the person you think is me, but I would rather tell you in private. You can use my myspace account if you care to know. I can assure you that the account is not a sock puppet and most certainly not me. If you have any suggestions as to how I can prove a negative, please let me know. I apologize for the waste of your time this trivial matter has consumed. Sincerely, DrDelos (talk) 15:43, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Proving a negative - - I just looked it up and the physical address of the anonymous IP that neon thinks is a sock puppet created by me is in NY. I live in Albuquerque. DrDelos (talk) 15:57, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay so let us put it STRAIGHT. We mean to cause no harm but just to use WIKI to the right, IFF(this means if and only if) wiki's purpose is to provide actual knowlwdge to it's users and NOT bluff them with falsehood, let us do what we are doing.
Wiki always emphasizes : "Interference is subject to awareness". This means, since you know nothing about what is happening, you have no right to interfere and You are not the one who can define what is vandalism and what is not. Your using captain Nancy's name can itself be termed Vandalism in it's own meaning. Remember, language is vast. Vandalism is if something not true has been stated, but truth cannot be a part of Vandalism. Rethink.
We hope we have made our point clear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nullfame (talk • contribs) 14:41, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand why you did that, the article is biased to a ridiculous extent in favour of Torres, it needed to have balance added.
