Organised crime, unreferenced
[edit]I put up the tag on the page for organised crime, and allthough organised crime does not want to be written about, every article in Wikipedia needs sourcing, in complience with the verifiability policy. If you haven't already, it's a good read, and it shows how articles in Wikipedia should be sourced, and also what information should be included. Throughout your editing in the future, realise that this is a core policy of Wikipedia, and all aritcles should adhere to it. Especialy the first line there is something to remember!

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. It would be appreciated if you would not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Mexico City Airport People Mover. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Martial BACQUET 18:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry but I don't see where this article is a stub? It's redacted with capital letters and seems to be a joke. Please excuse me if it is not, but afd templates mustn't be removed as you did. Martial BACQUET 18:16, 1 October 2007 (UTC) As you wish. But for me, this article meet criteria for speedy deletion. Maybe it could reach a good article but it won't if it's written in capital letters. I'm not a native speaker of English no more but I don't write in capital letters. So do what you wanna do with this article, I'm just going to remove capital letters into to. Martial BACQUET 18:26, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Deletion problems
[edit]Hi KoshVorlon!
You've recently tried to nominate for deletion two articles, List of Jewish American musicians and Samnaun. There were problems with both nominations that I've cleared up, but at the price of closing the one discussion I could find.
Specifically, the problems were that the List one was malformed on the page and on the discussion so I couldn't tell exactly what you were trying to do, whilst the Samnaun one didn't appear to have a discussion at all that I could find.
The Articles for Deletion process can be a bit tricky, so you may want to follow the step-by-step guide at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to list pages for deletion. I recommend keeping a tab or a window open with it in as you nominate an article. Completion of all steps is required or User:DumbBOT, a robot that polices Wikipedia deletions, will notice and request assistance (that's how come I'm here).
There's a long and detailed guide to Wikipedia deletion at Wikipedia:Guide to deletion that may help give you pointers on what we do and don't delete. It's quite a read, but worth doing if deletion is something you see yourself being involved in.
You're welcome to restart the AfDs for either article (following the How-To guide), although I'd also suggest you check Wikipedia:Lists for advice on Wikipedia listmaking; and the criteria for speedy deletion for the geography article.
I hope this helps. Happy editing! ➔ REDVEЯS was here 08:52, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of compositions by Franz Liszt (S.1 - S.350)...
Your complete missuse of WP:NOT#DIR seems to indicate you are either attempting WP:POINT or, as you are completely ignoring all the editors demonstrating to you how incorrect you are [1][2] (read WP:IDIDNTHEARTHAT very carefully), you are simply trolling. This "chapter" lay-out of you talk pages lends evidence to the latter. --Oakshade 22:17, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
In response to your post on my talk page, please become familiar with the following statement from WP:NOT#DIR:
Of course, there is nothing wrong with having lists if their entries are famous because they are associated with or significantly contributed to the list topic, for example Nixon's Enemies List.
And this isn't at all a list of "loosely associated topics", but multiple compositions very specifically associated with the list topic of a famous composer. If you're a trained classical pianist as you say are, you would know that. As stated in the AfD, if you'd like to change WP:NOT#DIR to eliminate all lists, you have to make your case at the WP:NOT talk page, not on specific articles as you are only wasting time of editors (notice that you're the only one in this AfD who wants to delete this article?) as you efforts are looking more like an example of WP:POINT or trolling. --Oakshade 21:16, 16 October 2007 (UTC) C H A P T E R 7 The point is? or Friendly note from Martijn
Really, what's the point
[edit]Hiya, Kosh. You seem to be having a lot of fun in Wikipedia recently, but your main aim seems to be disrupting and confusing. Maybe it's a good idea to step back for a moment, and think about your motives for editing wikipedia for a while. You might be able to mildly disrupt a lot of people and pages, but the project will probably go on, and nobody will take much notice. Could you explain why you edit Wikipedia, and what your aims are? I'm sure there are more productive ways to accomplish that than the path you have taken now. (And do give this a nice chapter. I do like your chaptes.) Martijn Hoekstra 13:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
C H A P T E R 8 Oh Shennandoah, I long to see you...
North River (South Fork Shenandoah River)
[edit]If you truly feel this river is non-notble, send it to AfD as your added notability tag has been repeatedly removed. I am well aware of the notability guidelines. Perhaps you are unaware that WP:NOTE provides for common sense exceptions, like for towns or geographical features. WP:OUTCOMES are examples of those. As WP:NOTABILITY states, "it is not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception. " You're failing to understand this. --Oakshade 18:00, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to Fall out boy, you will be blocked from editing. Excirial 18:03, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, looks like that article was just plain nonsense. The origional longer article was just one big attack, and the edit that almost cleared the page was of the same caliber. Guess we just ended up ping-pong reverting the two vandalism articles. I marked it for deletion nowm should be removed shortly :) --Excirial 18:09, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, please read WP:N to see how notability is defined. Cheers, WilyD 19:41, 25 October 2007 (UTC) I have noticed that you have replaced the template again, and I went hunting for your rational. I found it digging through your contribs on User talk:WilyD. If that is what you think, I suggest that you nominate the page for deletion, and let folks figure it out there, rather then revert warring. 3RR is an upper limit on disruption, please lets talk it out. Thanks. —— Eagle101Need help? 19:50, 25 October 2007 (UTC) Holes in the ground can get right notable, eh? If you need an appeal to common sense, I'll tell you pretty plainly it's almost impossible for find four reliable sources for something that isn't notable. WilyD 20:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC) I'm not the author, I think its notable, its astromical data, that is not found anywhere else and is a useful collection of data. In addition the subject of the moon is a rather important one, though there are of course other astrological items. My suggestion is again, to stop adding the tag, and instead simply nominate it for deletion and come to a final result to the article. In addition I should note that if you want the author to respond, I would suggest you leave a note to him, rather then rudely templating the article that he put his time and work into. There are humans behind these account names. —— Eagle101Need help? 20:05, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit]I recognize that you feel strongly about cyberbullying and inappropriate use of Wikipedia to further a political campaign. Please stop creating redundant deletion processes. The article is being kept and it is not good for you to be the one who constantly proposes deletion. If deletion is the right result, somebody else will notice and make a proposal. Continuing your campaign further will start to look like WP:POINT. Please don't go there. Thank you. Jehochman Talk 18:27, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Edit summaries
[edit]I'd like to recommend you follow the guidelines at WP:ES (especially those at WP:REVTALK) when reverting vandalism. Pointy edits may be considered disruptive by some editors, and using edit summaries that don't accurately describe what you are doing makes extra work for the rest of us (who had to check exactly what you did). If I hadn't known your history regarding the santorum stuff, I would have blocked you as a possibly compromised account. Syrthiss (talk) 18:41, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

The Enquirer may not be reliable in your eyes, but there should be a citation to indicate why it is not reliable. The Huffington Post has reported the story; Slate is mentioning the story; and People magazine is citing an unidentified source who has corroborated that "Chris Hansen and Kristyn and have been hooking up for months."
The Enquirer's credibility has been strengthened as it broke the story of John Edwards and his love child and the infidelities of Tiger Woods.
I would like to mention a denial by Mr Hansen, but I am unable to find one. It is ironic for someone who sets stings was stung and is unwilling to issue an immediate denial. His stung parties face a camera, so should he. — Preceding unsigned comment added by DaHealuh (talk • contribs) 22:57, 30 June 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Wiki background.jpg
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Wiki background.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.
To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 15:06, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

[edit]</nowiki>
That's it. The original tag (Copyleft) has remained on that image. I guess your bot got confused by the hidden comment.
I'll write myself a note not to use that in the images area.
Thanks!
@-Kosh► Talk to the Vorlons►Narn (Loyal Bat Squad Member)-@ 16:12, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
- What you've got there is not a copyright tag, it's a mass of wikicode that does not create a human-readable license, much less a bot-readable one: "all rights reverted", for example, is a nonsense statement, and copyleft is a philosophy, not a license. I recommend you use one of the standard license tags, such as {{no rights reserved}} or {{Cc-zero}}.
- Incidentally, the bot did not stop because of anything you did. Rather, it only monitors newly uploaded images for a certain amount of time. --Carnildo (talk) 19:35, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Your recent editing history at Wikipedia talk:User pages shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war. Being involved in an edit war can result in your being blocked from editing—especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring—even if you don't violate the three-revert rule—should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly.
To avoid being blocked, instead of reverting please consider using the article's talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors.

My revert
[edit]Hey KoshVorlon! I just thought I'd let you know that I did revert your edits to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Avicennasis with this edit. The arbcom decision only topic banned him from a namespace beginning with Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/, not from Wikipedia:requests for adminship/. The arbcom decision did allow for Malleus to be banned from an RfA but that takes the action of an administrator. There is a discussion going on at ANI if you care to take part. Ryan Vesey Review me! 17:16, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- This was explained in the decision and numerous times at RfAs.
- Maybe you should consider asking for guidance on a talk page, if in you again feel tempted to disrupt an RfA, by sharing your misunderstandings.
- RfA is very stressful for the candidate, btw.

Edit war on AFD
[edit]Stop edit warring over the closure of that section at the AfD. I will block you both if necessary. WormTT≡talk≡ 13:06, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Kosh. I've done a bit of digging and I'm a little bit more in touch with the situation now. Thank you for refraining from hatting things. I thought I might try explaining things to you directly, in the hopes that it might help and that you are welcome to ask me any questions.
- Firstly, the {{hat}} template has a very specific use, and that's for uninvolved editors to close discussions and discourage further editing. The documentation specifically says "It should not be used by involved parties to end a discussion over the objections of other editors." It really mustn't be used by editors who are involved with any particular debate. On top of that, it shouldn't be replaced if editors object (especially uninvolved ones). The two cases postdlf highlighted at AfDs, I agree, you shouldn't be closing at all.
- Secondly, we have the "ad hominem" attacks. Now, I can see why you might see them as an attack, but I'm afraid that I don't. I see the comments as tactless, and possibly excessive, but not attacks.
- Finally, we have the whole discussion about WP:NOTDIR and what it means in relation to WP:LISTs. Wikipedia has a lot of lists, because it's not just an encyclopedia, it also has properties of gazetteers and almanacs. This is perfectly reasonable and we are so happy with lists that we even have a set of featured list criteria. A good rule of thumb is that if the list topics are notable, and they are linked by tangible selection criteria, we can have a list. Have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Stand-alone lists for more. NOTDIR is more to stop lists of non-notable subjects, like "List of builders in North Yorkshire".
- Does that make sense? I'll drop a note on the AN/I too, but if there's anything you'd like to discuss, feel free to message me. WormTT≡talk≡ 13:49, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Please see the above ANI report regarding you. postdlf (talk) 13:40, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Indentation on talk pages
[edit]Hi. Could you try to get your indentation right in talk pages: it makes them hard to follow when the indents are wrong. In general, you need to put the right number of colons at the start of each paragraph of your comment, or use <P> to start a new paragraph. Thanks. Dricherby (talk) 12:54, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Inaccurate accusations of vandalism, and destructive edits labelled "copyedit"
[edit]I don't know what you're up to, but in this edit which you labelled "copyedit", you undid several corrections which User:Mogism had made, and then accused him/her of vandalism, and similarly for Level 42. I think you owe them an apology, and you need to take more care with your edits and accusations. PamD 15:12, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Reply on my talk page, copied here for clarity: Pam, Actually, Mogism removed several lines of text under the premise of "Copyedit". (I'm running Lupin's antivandal tool and any changes made are highlighted immediately (Yes, it still means I have to read them ). ) He broke at least one sentance by this removal. I didn't call his edits vandalism, I reverted as "copyedit". I left him two non-templated mesesages explaining that he was removing text and that he needs to slow down. No big. (As a matter of fact, I happen to know he's running fast, the two messages I left him were very close together, he responded first to one, that about 5 mins later, he responded to the other. So, no , no applogy is needed, nor did I accuse him of vandalism, just moving too quickly with the AWB. "....We are all Kosh...." <-Babylon-5-> 15:18, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Heads up, this is what I'm talking about. His "copyedits" are producing this kind of a result (he's removed about three lines of text under the edit summary "typo fixing". (I didn't communicate with him about this at all....I wanted you to see what I'm seeing, because I get you see differently ) File:06122012_wiki.jpg
- Please look again: in this edit, which has a clear edit summary of "(Typo fixing and cleanup, typos fixed: to to → to using AWB)", Mogism:
- changed "to to" to "to"
- removed a couple of trailing blank spaces
- changed "August 7th" to "August 7"
- removed a space before <ref>
- did not remove any lines of text.
- Total mismatch with your description. Your link to an image makes no sense to me. (I'll watch this page, so let's keep conversation here). PamD 15:29, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
Sure, but check the image, you'll see what I see. (Left click on it, and check the highlighted section ). − "....We are all Kosh...." <-Babylon-5-> 15:33, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- I believe the standard Wikipedia diffs. If they don't show vandalism, I don't believe there has been vandalism, even if some fancy gadget appears to show it. I'll copy here the message which Mogism just left on my talk page, as I think it's intended for you:
- Copying message from User talk:PamD:
- This is the edit you're linking to in your screen-capture above, and is the only edit I've ever made to Monarch Airlines. In its entirety, it:
- Removed some trailing whitespace;
- Corrected the (incorrect) "Kb/s" to the (correct) "kbit/s" (the typo fix referenced in the edit summary);
- Fixed a broken URL;
- Put the interwiki links in the correct order.
- The error is with the tool you're using, if it's showing me as having deleted any text from the article. I would very strongly advise you actually to check what you're reverting, before you issue spurious warnings. Mogism (talk) 15:36, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- end of copied message
- Yeah, I was just about to post the same thing. Kosh, either you are using or interpreting the automated tool incorrectly, or there is a bug in that tool that you should report. In any event, you should stop using it until you figure this out. And as this is not the first time you've mistakenly accused someone of vandalism in recent memory, you should know by now to actually look at the article history carefully before continuing with your accusations once they've been questioned. postdlf (talk) 15:52, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- And you should apologise to Mogism and anyone else you have falsely accused of vandalism. Promptly and sincerely. PamD 15:55, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- And I also see that you left a level 1 vandalism warning at 3:53 and followed it with a level 4 warning at 3:54. That's not right - editors are entitled to a series of warnings and time to react to them. Please take a lot more care about vandalism warnings, even where they are justified. PamD 16:00, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- I've had a look at the image you linked: it's for this edit. No text removed. You need to sort out your gadget, as it is producing false information. PamD 16:06, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

I use this tool (and it's not my own, by the way) a lot, and if there was a bug with it, why aren't there more instances of me falsely reporting vandalism? Truth is, there isn't. I tagged Mogism the first time with the test message template the first time, however, the next edit removed text out of a paragraph that rendered it unreadable -- I tagged him again with a slightly stronger template to get the message across. I supplied you with a screenshot and your reply indicated you didn't even look at it. You need to look at all available evidence and then make your conclusion. I showed you what I saw, if you not interested in looking at it, ok, I can't make you look at it. All evidence points to no bug in the tool (it's Lupin's by the way ) and that he made at least two edits that pulled text out where it was not needed , with an edit summary that didn't even come close to what he purported to do. I don't know if you're his mentor or not, and just for the record, I'm not interested in turning this into an "I'm right - you're wrong match ". I , again, stand by my posts on his page and believe no appology is needed. "....We are all Kosh...." <-Babylon-5-> 16:21, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- I didn't look at the screen shot at first as I couldn't see what it had to do with the edit I was discussing, which was the edit to Let It Shine (film). I did look at it later, as described above, and pointed out to you that the diff for the edit disagreed with what the screenshot showed. PamD 16:54, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
- Kosh, this is the edit depicted in your screenshot. We all looked at the screenshot and saw what your circled. But that text clearly wasn't removed by this edit. There is no way that your screenshot from an automated tool is more accurate than the actual article history. Do you get it now? You are wrong, and objectively so, because this does not lie. postdlf (talk) 16:24, 20 June 2012 (UTC)
You need to exercise a litte more care
[edit]You recently left a warning on No More Mr Nice Guy's talk page, falsely alleging that he has violated a 1RR restriction. That RR restriction clearly says 'Reverts of edits made by anonymous IP editors that are not vandalism are exempt from 1RR'. You should probably remove or otherwise modify your warning. They think it's all over (talk) 17:25, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- No, you didn't mot warn him correctly. Please read the text of the h1RR restriction on the talk page , which says, as I quoted to you - 'Reverts of edits made by anonymous IP editors that are not vandalism are exempt from 1RR'. NMMNG reverted an IP, and his reverts are thus exempt. Furthermore, that IP has already violated 3RR, and has been reverted by at least 3 other editors, beside NMMNG. Do exercise more care. They think it's all over (talk) 17:35, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
- You're not getting it. Yes, NMMNG reverted twice. That's not the issue. The 1RR restriction exempts reverts of edits made by IPs - which is what NMMNG did. I've quoted the text of the 1RR restriction to you twice already. here goes a third time, pay attention to the part in bold: 'Reverts of edits made by anonymous IP editors that are not vandalism are exempt from 1RR'. They think it's all over (talk) 17:45, 29 November 2012 (UTC)
Dr. Strange
[edit]Hi, Kosh. I'm afraid I'm not following: Wikipedia itself is free use. Clearly, I could not copy from the website RecalledComics.com. But it's perfectly permissible to use Wikipedia and in fact it's sensible in that it keeps same-topic content consistent.
I could see nowhere on the copyright-policy page anything about not using the same wording in two Wikipedia articles. I'm not entirely sure that you're correct. But might be wrong. If you could point me in the right direction, I'd be happy to investigate further before going back to Doctor Strange. Thanks, --Tenebrae (talk) 00:45, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, I took it not from Jackson Guice but from the entry at the Wikipedia article Recalled comics. So, again, I'm not sure it's impermissible. And if so, which of the three articles can claim it? --Tenebrae (talk) 00:47, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
