Concise diffs

I provided several concise diffs (tried, but they need some context) to show what is going on. There is much more though.--Crossmr (talk) 12:20, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. I've replied with a couple of small points if you have time.--Crossmr (talk) 00:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. I hope my meaning is clear at the ANI conversation, but I appreciate your concerns. I don't think any of them (for you or Abductive) are in bad faith, but I do disagree with some of them. I hope I've made it clear where that's the case. I don't think anyone's especially at fault, but I understand competition and I've had my share of mistakes. I hope you find my comments fair, which was my aim. I found your response to my ANI comment extremely fair, and I appreciate that a lot. I still stand by the comments I made before, but thank you for responding here. I'm not the decision maker on this issue, nor should I be, but your candor is helpful. Thank you.

I've replied with further evidence of his combative edits. Even after you suggested he stop making those edits until there is a central discussion on it which indicates consensus, and after he was told by two editors on the FA that they didn't agree with his pov. He's continued to push, without discussion, it on other articles. . An IP reverted him here (one I posted on AN/I), and he reverted it with bad faith assumptions (Assuming it was me), and without discussing it per WP:BRD . This is the exact problem. This was the pattern and history I was trying to explain at AN/I, and it is frankly disruptive. he was told to seek consensus and he's not. He's just going out to as many articles as he can find and changing it without seeking consensus and not engaging in proper discussion.--Crossmr (talk) 05:03, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

You can see where he continues the bad faith assumptions and turns it into threats on the IPs talk page User_talk:152.16.15.144.--Crossmr (talk) 05:11, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Re: Teens Run Modesto AfD

Hello, as Page Patrollers you and I have seen each other around the campus (so to speak). I am about to post a comment on the AfD that I am sure the nominator will jump on. I mention you by name because you asked basically out load a reference that might change your mind. Well, here's my best shot and it the one that I thought very notable:

Reference#11 comes from a plastic surgeon's website and details why Doctors Calvin Lee and Tammy Wu decided to get involved. Before the questions and answers appear on that URL citation, Lee says he was supposedly in Asia playing violin when he got a call from another doctor to be a race title sponsor. He was reluctant at first but decided to follow through and is perhaps why people like José Hernández decided to get involved. Supposedly, he also has only lived in Modesto since 2003 but appears to be civic minded as he sponsors the Gallo family's Gallo Center. I keep on asking myself why a husband and wife doctor team would choose to sponsor an inaugural "rinky-dink" fun-run? If they are Gallo Center sponsors, they are on the higher end of the food chain in terms of philantropy. Yes, it might make sense to get involved because he was/is a runner (hadn't run in awhile) because it shows civil involvement but he could have just thrown money at the event and not posted "his ramblings" on his wife's website.

I think you have seen me as a Page and Recent Changes Patroller. I know I have seen you and we have tag-teamed several articles/userpages that have gotten vandalized. Normally, the anon IPs and newbie editors see me as a Speedy Delete SOB because I will nominate articles I do not believe have notability or merit for inclusion on Misplaced Pages. On the night Teens Run Modesto was created, I saw it and was about to a7 it.

However, as a good Patroller, I keep open before nominating an article for deletion and WP:CSD. I did a google search and decided that this was more than just a WP:CLUB whimsical post. It may actually have been but upon seeing the citations I found, I decided it was not a7 material. I still don't and that is why I am about to make a post.

I wanted you to see some of my rationale because I know the nominator will jump all over my post. He jumped all over my talkpage that night because I declined his CSD and PROD. I still firmly believe that he did not allow the Misplaced Pages community time to digest this article. Chances are it will not survive this AfD. Maybe I am wasting your time but I can tell you honestly I don't like to waste mine. My laptop dumped on me while I was posting at the AfD page and more accurately while I am posting here on your talkpage. I started the AfD post around 6:30 am PST. Here I am 45 minutes later.

I am going to wait on making the AfD post so I can take a pause for the cause and to allow you to digest what I post here. Thanks in advance for your consideration. --Morenooso (talk) 14:19, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for the dedication and the post at my talk page. Unfortunately by the time I read it (I haven't logged in for a while) the discussion was already closed. I see though that it'd been userfied, so I think that's a pretty good place to start. I won't be nominating it if it comes back up, and I think if those sources are added, it's worth a shot to add it back to the mainspace. Shadowjams (talk) 21:22, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Actually, it already is/or was there. My laptop died three more times as the a/c cord is frayed. I almost tossed it again the wall. Probably will when I see the closed AfD. I placed the article in my userspace off my main userpage. Hopefully they will do quarterly events. I forgot about posting on the AfD due to a number of reasons (mainly reallifeinteruptus). --Morenooso (talk) 21:25, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

Question

---shadow me---

yo, whats an "acceptable edit" im scared and dont want to be banned please help right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadow one eight seven (talk • contribs) 00:51, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Your last 5 edits aren't it, I can say that much. But if you want to see some ways you can help, take a look at the welcome template that someone left on your talk page. You might look at this too. But adding "DEY FUZZZY YO!" isn't all that useful to readers. Maybe pick a topic that you're familiar with... and add useful information to it in full prose form. Don't forget to leave an edit summary too, so others will know why you changed what you did. Shadowjams (talk) 00:54, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Objecting PROD for Manmohan Acharya

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Manmohan Acharya, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Thanks! Shivashree (talk) 03:30, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for saving the originality of the article. please help me by putting a warning message on the article thus preventing any unwanted edits.

I hope you can help me

On Wednesday when I was editing in Channel 7 (Thailand), (I was doing a positive edit) but few seconds later User:Boing! said Zebedee undid my edits. But he can't help me. I was removing the "Cambodia" satellite, I know Channel 7 isn't exist on Cambodia satellite, but Boing! said Zebedee think that some other viewers may see it in their Cambodia satellite, I don't know this. I have to make a "Cambodia Satellite Club".--113.53.213.68 (talk) 03:49, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

• My former IPs, one of them was 125.25.10.148, which you've suggested to Boing! said Zebedee. THAT'S ME!!!
• There's an IP from Thailand but he/she is originally from the USA. And that editor needs help. He was editing Vietnam Television and it's now protected to tomorrow. I have no idea of him so please watch Talk:Vietnam Television article if he is back--113.53.213.68 (talk) 04:24, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

I agree with Boing! said Zebedee. Your edits have been problematic to those sets of articles and I support his removal. You are aware, there was a discussion about your edits (or someone doing almost exactly the same type of edits, all inside your optherwise unused IP range) at . You need to stop refactoring pages to your own desires, add citations to your edits, and use edit summaries. Shadowjams (talk) 22:07, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

Greek genocide

Hi, I am not removing any information from the said article, just to the contrary I am trying to add sourced information to it, which is being repetadly deleted without explanations. Thanks for your concern anyway..--85.107.38.237 (talk) 03:08, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry. That appears to be correct--you only moved that section. That said, you are engaged in quite the edit war on that article. I haven't figured out exactly what that edit war consists of yet, but you have been undone by 4 different editors at least 8 times in the last 2 days. I don't know what that's all about, but you need to seek consensus. You should probably read WP:3RR as well. Shadowjams (talk) 03:13, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Yes, all IP`s are me, but the problem in here these editors act as if they own the article and do not wish the inclusion of anything that they do not want to see in there. You can check the Talk page, there is no way that any consensus can ever be reached when the opposing party does not even bother to take the effort to discuss the issue in hand. I`m really waiting for these editors to give explanations as to why these quotations should not be included.--85.107.38.237 (talk) 03:23, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
