Hi Alan,
I recently updated a lot of TV channel pages to add the Videotron channel number. It seems you removed all my updates. Most pages come with the BellTV and Shaw channel number. Why not Videotron ?
Hi Alan,
This message is in reference to your recent edit of Iqaluit. Thanks for adding your knowledge (I'm guessing first-hand) about food prices in the arctic. Makes a lot of sense. I'm worried that because the video I cited didn't make that claim, the sentence and its citation don't totally line up.
But hey, if no one on the page cares, I trust you! Thanks for the nugget of knowledge.

Hi,
You sent a warning about vandalism to Selseyboy's talkpage, that if he vandalizes one more page you will block him from editing. Well he vandalized my page again, i got proof that he did vandalize my userpage. (Ben1239randy's history). I know he vandalized my page on the 3rd July ( I haven't been on wikipedia for a long time) but he vandalized my page so could you please block him from editing, I don't know how to block him from editing. Please stop him from vandalizing my userpage. Ben1239randy (talk) 23:22, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yup, the old copy and paste routine. I'll get the island infoboxes cleaned up this week. While I'm at it... some of the Nunavut island stubs have {{Nunavut}} while others don't. Any thoughts on this? --Rosiestep (talk) 22:25, 13 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, just thought I'd send you a quick (but big) thank-you for adding images to all of the articles about Yellowknife's schools. It's greatly appreciated and really adds to the articles! Cheers -YK Timestalk04:28, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Haha, maybe a god judgment call then. I can rustle up a couple of images of the jail; let me know if there are any more articles that need pictures. Sure, I should've put that into the Template namespace to begin with - thanks for the catch. -YK Timestalk03:36, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you.72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)PS There is a picture captioned: "A white Bengal tiger in National Zoological Park Delhi, India." It comes from the ASPCA and it looks very familiar. I can't find it on the internet, but I suspect it may not be at the New Delhi Zoo. There's another picture captioned "white Bengal tiger", and it's from Russia (the picture). I don't know whether it is a Bengal tiger, but maybe this is too trivial to worry about. 72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Haley Scarnato. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey CambridgeBayWeather, there's trouble a brewin' at the HRM talk page and I'm not sure what to do at this point, wanted an admin's opinion. For the sake of full disclosure, I have edited under two accounts since 2004 or 2005 - this one and User:Sprocket, which I no longer use.
User:Cherry1000 is a sockpuppet of the banned user Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Matthvm (2nd), whom I reported a couple years back. My accusation on the HRM talk page has been reverted by Cherry and another one of his alts, User:Matthvm3, a total of eight times for a number of frivolous reasons. I would report him at Suspected sock puppets, but he has so many accounts it's difficult, and he'd just make another. He uses his multiple accounts for meat puppetry, primarily in the debate over how to organize the Halifax series of articles in light of the municipality's 1996 amalgamation. He's consistantly incivil, has made legal threats, and is not open to constructive dialogue whatsoever. His latest shtick, while perhaps not malicious, is adding huge numbers of articles based on all and any place names one would see on a map of Nova Scotia - for example, South Lochaber, Nova Scotia. In this case, I pointed out on his talk page that the location does not appear to have more than a few small buildings (Google Maps), that there is nothing notable about the place, but (predictably) was ignored. I know I sound a bit bitter, but it's a chronic problem around many NS and HRM subjects. Do you have any advice as to the best course of action? Thanks, Kinou (talk) 04:41, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks CBW, I will do that when I have the time. As you can see, I'm being followed (the reason I made this second account in the first place). Kinou (talk) 05:07, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello CambridgeBayWeather, I'm a part-time fiction author who's writing a short story about an Arctic search-rescue mission, and I'd like your feedback on the following scenario. (I've already tried the science ref desk and got some info from there, but not enough.)
Suppose there's a badly wounded man on a remote island in the Hudson Bay, and the Canadians refuse to send their own aircraft for assistance because of inclement weather, but the US Civil Air Patrol responds to the distress calls and sends one of their pilots to fly a surgeon all the way from Minnesota to the island. Well, the island is out of range of helos and single-engine planes, so they use a twin-engine plane (a Beech Queen Air, to be exact). In fact, the island is only narrowly within the Queen Air's maximum one-way range, so the pilot, after (literally) dropping off the surgeon with a parachute (she can't land the plane on the island because there's no airstrip, nor on the surrounding sea ice because of cracks / pressure ridges), must land at a small airstrip on the mainland nearby (she only has about 1/2 hours' worth of fuel left, so she can't reach any other airfield). The problem is, there's a crosswind blowing exactly perpendicular to the runway, making the landing much harder than normal. My question is, how strong can I make the crosswind and still allow her to land the plane without scuffing off a wingtip or breaking the landing gear?
Please reply either on this page, or on the science ref desk under the section heading "Crosswind landing". Your answers will be very much appreciated (maybe I'll even e-mail you a draft of my short story...) Thanks in advance! :-) 98.234.126.251 (talk) 01:00, 2 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In your activities list I could not find such an action. Is there any way I can figure out who and why deleted this page and what was there when it was deleted?
This IP user appears to specialise in sabotaging climate tables by inserting false values, typically changing the integer part of a temperature by one or two degrees, as you fixed for Geography and climate of Winnipeg and I have fixed for London. S/he also sometimes creates entire series of fictitous values. E.g. for Rio de Janeiro (diff) increasing the rainful by roughly 50% each month, and for Sapporo (diff) inventing values for record high, record low and rainy days that aren't in the source. The rainy days for Sapporo were patently false, as in several months the total of rainy and snowy days added up to over fifty days. On the other hand, the user added a table to Jakarta which seems to reflect the source accurately.
I've given a final warning but as the IP address locates to Australia there will be long periods when I won't be able to track his/her contributions. Could you keep an eye out for further vandalism and report it to WP:AIV if necessary? Thanks - Pointillist (talk) 12:16, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
AWB did it automatically. It's now programmed to automatically add a defaultsort tag to most articles that aren't in "people" categories, but it has a habit of choosing really bad capitalization (e.g. for a TV station it'll add "Cfyk-Tv") and not being able to handle nuances like "the sortkey for this should be Y rather than L". I take it back out when I remember, but I don't always — so yeah, we can just go ahead and kill it. Bearcat (talk) 15:31, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
No problem. I also added a followup supporting comment. When you get a second, could you go sign the description again (outside the /nowiki tag)? I had to take your tildes out because it would have converted them into my signature instead of yours. Bearcat (talk) 15:59, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

it's an expression used in the series i referenced: Zeke & Luther (already with a wikipedia article)
i'm in the process of dubbing the series and doubts have come up about this expression, i'm hopping an article here may get some input from other users that might clear up some doubts
it may even be an expression used by other people (i know my actors adopted it)
there are even some entries in an italian discussion board about this expression
i don't understand why it is so speedly deleted with the argument of no context when the direct reference to the series is included
i know slow butter is also a cooking term, but could not find the exact meaning, so it is an article with expanding possibilities
i ask you to reconsider...
This person has done so much damage to the white tiger article will you please look at the edits and consider reverting it to before they were made? Also will you consider locking it out and giving me control?72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:00, 8 August 2009 (UTC)PS I don't know why these edits were not identified as vandalism. I also think that the tax box and geographic distribution give the false impression that the white tiger is a species, and if the white tiger could be said to have had a geographic distribution it would not have corresponded to that of the tiger. A map of India showing the location of Rewa would be better.72.1.195.4 (talk) 15:05, 8 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you recently undid a move that I had made a while ago. I think this makes things less clear, given the existence of two articles differing only by one capital letter. Others seem to feel similarly, see the recent move of Modern Theology to Modern Theology (journal), despite the fact that I had notified them on that article's talk page about your reversion of my move. It would perhaps be good if this could be sorted out so that different people don't keep moving these articles around unnecessarily. Thanks!
This person seems to have gone around deleting anything negative said about white tigers. So much good solid information has been deleted that I don't think that I have the stamina to repair this amount of damage. It's just too aggrivating. 72.1.195.4 (talk) 14:28, 10 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Another huge problem is that parts have been deleted, but the sources have been left in place, even though they no longer pertain to anything in the article. It's because of people like this that Wikipedia lacks credibility. 14:36, 10 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk)
That would be fantastic, but I have absolutely no idea how to do it, which is why I keep bothering you. I thought after I asked you to do that, and you did'nt, that it was'nt possible. I'll try and figure it out. Thank you.14:41, 10 August 2009 (UTC)It seems to be telling me that it has to be done manually.

In reference to the Martin Steers page you deleted immediately after I created it (thanks). I contested it's nomination for speedy deletion because it really is of relevance to the locality. Are you normally in the habit of deleting WIKI pages for people who work in media industry. Certainly Martin Steers is better known than Charles_Allen_(businessman) who noone has deleted.
Reflecting of your incredible distance from the area in question, I can't see how you can conclude that the subject of this article is not well known is this country (UK), let alone in his own locality.

Hi CambridgeBayWeather, you seem to be the only one opposed to the focus city parameter. I believe that the focus city parameter wouldn't crowd the box too much. What airports would you be concerned for that to happen at? If it does crowd the box too much in a particular article we can simply choose not to fill in the parameter. Ikluft also would prefer a focus city parameter. Thanks,

Bioextra is confusing a heterozygous tiger with a golden tabby. This person's edits make no sense. Bioextra says the article is too long (you've already assured me that's not an issue), but then adds useless general information on tigers which is available elsewhere on Wikipedia. This person deletes things, but never adds any information on the subject of white tigers. It makes no sense at all to have a section titled Heterozygous Tiger. There is no source for the claim that Siegfried & Roy bred heterozygous tigers. 14:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)~ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.1.195.4 (talk)

It's the same nonsense all over again. This person has deleted everything which you restored previously. Where I discuss the "visual pathway abnormality" this person has deleted the word "abnormal". Everything negative about white tigers has been deleted just like last time. The scienctific articles the article is sourced from all call it the "visual pathway abnormality". It does'nt make sense to change it to simply "visual pathway". Nobody will understand what is being discussed. I'm all out of computer time. I'll can only get two hours in one day and I can't repair this amount of damage.72.1.195.4 (talk) 16:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)Will you please restore it all again?72.1.195.4 (talk) 16:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I see an article title has been changed from Umar to Umar Farooq (RA). This Acronym for "Radhiallahu anhu" is used when referring to close companions of the Prophet(SAW). It translates into "May Allah be pleased with him or her." Wikipedia doesn't use such honorifics, so others may object. See WP:MOSISLAM#Islamic honorifics. Maybe use Umar Farooq?"
All of the missing material was still there before Bioextra went to work on 17:29, 5 August, 2009.

Bioextra actually started on 17:43, 5 August 2009. Everything was there prior to 17:29, 5 August 2009 before 67.231.50.154 went to work deleting references. (I hope it was all still there.) Thank you.72.1.195.4 (talk) 14:24, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you very much again. I will try and make the article shorter when I have time and pay attention to peoples' criticisms. I notice the section on Heterozygous Tiger stated that Siegfried & Roy had 23 heterozygous tigers, which I very much doubt, and no source was given. Everything which needed to be said on that subject was already contained in the article and there's no need to have a section on that. But if it did make sense it seems to me only appropriate that there would have to be another section titled Homozygous Tiger, but nobody seems to have considered that. There must be a Wikipedia page defining heterozygous. It makes no sense to consider heterozygous tigers as a kind of tiger, unless you're going to have other wikipedia articles or sections on "Heterozygous Chimpanzee" and "Heterozygous Hippo", one for every other species. It just makes no sense. 72.1.195.4 (talk) 14:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much for that it will save me a lot of time in the future, but I don't know how to put back Heterozygous Tiger, which should'nt exist anyway. I think people don't understand what the word means or know that it's a genetics term.

Hiya CBW, I saw that you had created List of mines in the Northwest Territories a while ago, I just converted it to a sortable wikitable. I had a question. That list only includes mines that are within the current NWT boundary, not mines that operated within the current Nunavut boundary prior to April 1, 1999, correct? Reason I ask is Polaris mine (currently a redirect to Little Cornwallis Island, hopefully soon to change) and Nanisivik Mine operated both within NWT and Nunavut, although they were entirely within Nunavut following the formation of Nunavut (I am sure you already know all of this). Might be a point to clarify in the lead. Rock on.--kelapstick (talk) 16:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was just wondering the reason why you deleted the entry for "A Day in the Life of the Mac-Attack". Being that it is a real thing, why can't it be included on Wikipedia. There are several readers, me being one of them, and it has a really interesting story. I know the author and I know that he would be really excited to see that his blog is linked on Wikipedia.
I took Paleolithic, Paleo-Indians, Clovis culture, they are in the Lithic and Archaic Period ..All this periods are from before this articles time frame, The First nations article covers Post-archaic period.
The article has a link to the time period = Aboriginal peoples in Canada#Lithic Period (18000 BCE - 8000 BCE)
That for some odd reason you keep DEwikifying thus making it harder to read or understand what the link is.
you may be right with the title or the fact its the right pathway to the sub article ..but taking the time to superwikify a link to make it easier to read only helps in navigating Wikipedia. I would guess they did that because the link actually covers Lithic and Archaic time periods not just Lithic Period as the link you made now says.
The style :Main article: Lithic and Archaic periods (18000 BCE - 1000 BCE) clearly looks better and explains what you are about to link to much clearer.
Now as for Pictures (Buzzzsherman who is a major contributor to wiki) has told me that "AS far as he can see most pictures should be displayed so they are between 100 and 400 pixels wide. {see Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Images for more info}.....Lead images should usually be no wider than "upright=1.7" ("300px"). WIKI is for the world to see not just those who have accounts..If you were to logout then look at the page you would have noticed that not setting pixels on some pictures makes the layout all messed up ..LIKE File:taku.jpg. ...appears at (485 × 599 pixels) talking half the page.......Please realize that your preferences are just that your preferences and the rest of the world see pages differently!!
anyways I hope this explains my reasons for my edits ...I have a laptop and the biggest problem for me is picture size in articles. The thumb command should makes pictures default of 180 pixels,,but in many cases this just leaves the original size photo....this is a WIKI software problem that has not been dealt with for windows vista.

As you say, I own the copyright and can therefore do as I wish with the information and the article. So why can I not publish this on Wikipedia with reference to the ADCC, ATC, RAF and 9 Sqn RAF? The historian at 9 Sqn is searching for further information with regard to Sgt Wing and his service. It seems strange to me that you'll publish articles about murderers, rapists and paedophiles but not war heroes. Sgt Wing was the first ever air cadet to fly solo and led the way for thousands of young people to do something constructive with their lives. You can see why I'm confused?

About this off-wiki [[3]] activity, I am for God's sake NOT involved in this kind of extremist action.
This 'skolixx' user has joined topixx 5 hours ago [[4]], seems his only intention was to inform in an disturbing way about the template deletion. I wonder who would do that in such an obvious way? Seems like an amateur bait job to me.
What's really erroneous is that this link has been recently updated, after it was initially -20:41, 8 September 2009 - mentioned in admins noticeboard , with a picture of Nikolaos Michaloliakos, leader of the Greek extremist group Hrysi Avgi, which OFF COURSE I HAVE NOTHING TO DO (reasonably thinking why should I do that? upgrading the link with that picture).
The level of English is far too poor and my contribution in wikipedia proves exactly the opposite.
As for the canvassing issue I'm accused by i_Pakapshem, ([[5]] I wrote about a multiply times blocked user, who -according to his record- is Pakapshem, and off course practically impossible to be a current admin), since I have been informed by User:Alarichus that he proposed the deletion of the specific template from irc-wikipedia. I really regret, since situation is a bit out of control, but reasonably thinking, why should I add such kind of information off wiki? Sorry for the capitals and really sorry for involving you (by accident) but I really feel sad when being involved in that kind of activity which does not represent me and what I beliefs.
I will post my comments in admins noticeboard, and add specific information about I_Pakashems record in wiki which is full of violating wp:npa, wp:incivility, with his contribution being just a number of reverts. Sorry for the caps, I'm really sorry that you have been involved on such an issue.

Dear CambridgeBayWeather,
Please keep your hands off my speed guitar article!
You are a nuisance and a pest!!
Who do you think you are any way, going in and erasing my entire page and replacing with a redirect to some shred guitar page? Please explain yourself. I demand it!
I have spent quite a bit of time doing research to come up with the speed guitar page content and believe it to be accurate, up to date, and concise.
On the other hand, the shred guitar page has the following problems:
(1) shred guitar is a slang term for speed guitar, i.e., most speed guitar players do not even use the term "shred"
(2) there are errors on the shred guitar page that the author of that page refuses to correct - there errors consist of at least incorrect usage of musical theory terms, a definite indication that the writer of that article has never played guitar or studied it in the least.
By the way, are you like some young kid or something? I have nothing against children, but your posted picture looks aweful young to know anything about speed guitar.
Question: do you even play speed guitar?
Please answer.
Benny Michigan
i was doing an edit but you didnot leave a comment. or is it that i told everyone about the player playing as or the continents of release. i wont insult but i just posted that so people could comment me about the game for ps1.{| class="wikitable"
It must be that you have a personal interest in the shred guitar article and dislike the article that I have written because you feel some sort of personal attack or something - hey if you want to act like some WWII dictator and burn my article so no one can see some great documentation on what speed guitar really is, then go for it - I will leave my article out of Wikipedia just so you can have your own little way. Burn away! I sure am glad you are not in charge of the libraries in the United States. I just can't believe that Wikipedia is filled with this type of childness.
But I would like to know one thing, what is it about the following article that you don't approve of? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.176.8.97 (talk • contribs)

Hello CambridgeBayWeather, this is an automated message from SDPatrolBot to inform you the PROD template you added to Victoria Lennox has been removed. It was removed by JASBarney3 with the following edit summary '(I have deleted the box because she is about to be on the Disney Channel and then when she is actually on somebody else is going to make this article all over and take credit for my work.)'. Please consider discussing your concerns with JASBarney3 before pursuing deletion further yourself.

Is it appropriate to revert the edits of an editor suspected of a conflict-of-interest? Krhestir has been editing the CurtCo article, and I suspect that she is Kathlene Hestir, who works for Brandware Public Relations, which represents CurtCo. This would clearly give her a conflict-of-interest. Thoughts? ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive'17:16, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If someone tags a talk page for speedy deletion on the grounds that it's empty or a test page... then just delete it, don't bother blanking-and-saving. They clutter up the unpatrolled queue. DS (talk) 04:01, 7 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Talk pages clutter up the unpatrolled queue too, you see - and although 90% of them are ordinary and unexceptional, 10% of them are problematic. And deleted pages most certainly don't stay in the unpatrolled queue. 13:33, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi! I just wanted to say well done for protecting the Robin Hood article from vandalism over the past few days. I try to keep my eye on it as well but invariably you get there first. I have one question though, why did you delete that last edit by an IP user? I thought what he had to say about Yorkshire residents' attempts to associate Yorkshire with Robin Hood was perfectly relevant to the article (despite not being sourced, but I could've sorted that out) and I'm sure it wasn't intended as vandalism. The other bit you deleted about "Robin Hood in Barnsdale stood" was also valid wasn't it? Just curious as to your rational concerning this. --Kohoutek1138 (talk) 01:46, 16 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The article is being asked for speedy deletion because I have inadvertently offended the swedish wikipedians, by making a Swedish version of the English page. I work as a film critic and am a known scholar in Sweden and the USA: I removed their tags, not the ones that asked to improve verifiability even though there is SO much, but the comments about name dropping, which as a film critic involves siting verifiable interviews with film actors and crew. Also a comment about the article being a CV. Also there are grammar mistakes, its not my native language but second language. I asked to have it removed after doing damage control of my professionalism, and also because you can not delete an article, which I would have done from the first instance I saw these challenges.
Substance is one thing but comments that are personal are not.
At any rate, I am doing everything I can to verify every single bit of the encyclopedia information, and have removed all biographical material, other than intellectual property of published work. I have authored the page, but that should not make it of less importance regarding verifiability.
Please give me a break! I am not a criminal.
--Mjsullus (talk) 16:21, 22 October 2009 (UTC)OK I see that it is now been changed to speedy deletion. But seriously there were challenges to it which were fixed. The history of the page shows it.
Anyone can make a claim but gameon is not on English wikipedia, and there is a conflict of interest here in that he is not a known film critic but has interviewed film personalities and doesnt have a page. Is this not just pure and simple envy? This is no criteria for exclusion.[reply]

Hiya. Found you were previously involved in an issue with Pirate Radio (US Film) when it existed as Pirate Radio (flim). I was looking up the new movie after seeing the trailer to find out that there's a whole article under its original title, plus this little advertising stub, so I redirected the stub, but the creator undid claiming "it's different" and then I find out this has happened last week as well and, well, can you flex your powers? what does one do? 216.153.143.247 (talk) 19:34, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Cambridgebay, salutations from a fellow canadian, :-)
secondly, i've been contributing to the article of the Leelkase tribe for years now, and i've all of a sudden came to discover that it was completely deleted at first and redirected to Darood article, for reasons still unknown. so i contacted our ethipian editor "Gyrofrog" who said after i told him that Leelkase is a subclan of Darood similar to Marehan, Majerteen, etc, etc, he then corrected that mistake. Afterwards gyrofrog changed the name of the tribe all together to something like Lelkase which is unused, and a spelling mistake, since if you google it it, the results of the name Leelkase shows 90% more results, then if you were to search under Lelkase.
When he also corrected that mistake after i brought much proof to him. He did not stop there, but erased all the information about the settlements and subclans of the Leelkase altogether, and i questioned him why?? Why all the other somali subclans had a chance to write about their tribe, and write their settlements and subclans, but that he took ours out??
I cannot imagine why those other clans have a chance to write their never ending list of disorganized subclans and irrelevent information, while our section is organized and lists important facts.
Please help, and either intervene, or direct me to a someone on WIKI that can truley come and stop this abuse of power by "Gyrofrog".
Hi CambridgeBayweather, well done on your clean up of the Darood section. I went through the source you used, which is source #9(http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTSOMALIA/Resources/conflictinsomalia.pdf), and on page #57, it listed the 5 main subclans of Darood, of which the Leelkase is one of the major subclans. So i have added the rest of the three subclans of Darood, but not it's sub-sub-subclans, etc, etc which the kablala had done, and is not listed on the source #9; just a short list :-)
Thanks for offering to file the AfDs! :) Please do, because I don't think either of them meet notability requirements.
F.E.A.S.T. has been tagged {{notability|org}} for awhile now; I've gone ahead and tagged Hungry: A Mother and Daughter Fight Anorexia with {{notability|book}} because it appears to be a self-promotional plug for a book.
A proper way to handle cross-board posting is to create redirects to a single place of discussion, rather than calling names.
My "snipping at each other" is irrelevant to who shopped what; it was failure by opponents to address my legitimate concern of the applicability of this name calling. Various guidelines, essays, etc., are just a condensed common responses to common problems. When you refer to someone to such page, the person reads, understands and agrees, then you are done. When a person reads, understands, disagrees, and clearly states the reason, then you have to answer the concern, rather than essentially say "you are moron, we community are smart, go away". Doing otherwise is a disservice to mutual respect and cooperation. - Altenmann >t23:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello CambridgeBayWeather!
Hope the weather is good there today! Question regarding AdF process, on Moira Sullivan article, secondary material posted on page, sp will the page have a final review . Have tried to comply with improvement for all tags possible. Have also contributed to the Maya Deren article recently.
This person is cyberstalking, coming into user mytalk space, unsolicited. Reading mytalk discussion not written to him. Making claims that are libelous, and unfounded based on personal opinion. No article should have to go through the unfair scrutiny that gameon has subjected this page to. If this page is deleted it will be because of harassment. Author has addressed all the issues raised from the tagging, reduced the number of links, wikified, provided verification. Author has looked at all the rules and regulations on WP with a respect for WP but not for editors who harass contributions. There are no clear cut cases for any of the issues receiving the warnings on this page. Mjsullus has not sockpuppeted. Moira Sullivan does not work for vanity presses. The information on Moira Sullivan page is verifiable.
I don't know what else to call it, this guy is following my every move, he read my comments to other editors about secondary sources on the page, and claimed I was trying to get sympathy. I asked you about the process, I saw five people write delete and wondered if they had seen the improvements. Some WP editors told me that without secondary sources the page would be deleted. I did not write these contributions, but was accused of sockpuppeting by gameon. I was also told not to write about my dissertation thesis subject, Maya Deren, in the article.
I was told that robots suggested the page for two Wikiprojects, whey they were real editors, I was told that I wrote for vanity press. I have been accused of vanity and this guy is on my tail, am I the only page on Wikipedia? The guy is cyberstalking me and can provide proof if need be, and he is harrassing me, and causing undue stress. He calls interviews as a film critic with celebrities "name dropping", calls lists "indiscriminate" with verifiable published writing. Claims that he has one citation on English WP but that doesnt warn him a page, by way of comparison.
This kind of badgering made me ask to remove the page on Swedish WP, and why I initially asked you to remove it. My first language is English, but this past week am often so upset that don't have time to write as a professional, which I am.
Have made contributions to the Maya Deren site, this week, and a lot of the information was incorrect. But I wonder now why should I bother to contribute ANYTHING to Wikipedia. I doubt if any page is given the acid test this page has received. If reading my mail to other editors is not cyberstalking, if micromanaging and tagging anything gameon can find to discredit this page, and coming in to mytalk space and harrassing me aslo professionally , what is the point of Wikipedia? I can not believe he can get away with this. And his aim is to delete the page, no matter what , no matter how the tags are responded to. And this history will always be there, even if it stays. This is not making WP more professional it is about harassment , about coercing people to stop posting, contributing etc- I have never thought of WP as anything but a democratic forum of equals, but now I know that is not true. At least in the case of gameon
[Cyberstalking] is the use of the Internet or other electronic means to stalk someone, to harass another individual.The behavior includes false accusations, monitoring, he harassment must be such that a reasonable person, in possession of the same information, would regard it as sufficient to cause another reasonable person distress. I stand by my accusation. This is happening to me. Now. Can you make it stop?--Mjsullus (talk) 16:57, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I replied on Moonriddengirl's page with the perma link for the version of the autobiography that I used and I emailed it to you.

I didn't bookmark the online quote so I'm searching for it. The information is synopsized here but this page appears to have an error: Weena (b. 1895) was the eldest daughter, not Etna (b. 1897); Lena (b. 1909) was the last. --Rosiestep (talk) 21:07, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding further discussion at User talk:Moonriddengirl#Quick question about copyright, I wonder if your local resources have access to information or legal documents regarding Klengenberg's citizenship at the time his book was published? According to my research, while Klengenberg was born a Danish citizen, at some point, he became a U.S. citizen. However, in 1925, he rescinded his U.S. citizenship and became a Canadian citizen. But did he retain dual (Danish) citizenship? BTW, his father remarried and several half-siblings were born in the U.S. so that might be a tie-in with why Klengenberg became a U.S. citizen; don't know if this info will help answer the issue at hand, but I figured it might assist in where to look for info. --Rosiestep (talk) 04:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey CBW, what do you think of User:Kelapstick/Nanisivik Naval Facility, ready for prime time? Nanisivik, Nunavut is getting a little template/picture heavy for the amount of text, and it is getting cluttered, especially with the size of the city infobox. I figure the Naval station is getting enough press to warrant a stand alone article now, and we can trim some from the other articles with a {{main}} template, that way we don't have to maintain the same information in three articles....Please butcher my editing as required, I don't really have time to create articles these days, but I couldn't hold off. Nice work on updating the weather templates on the settlements too, looks good. Other than that how's the weather? We've been in a cold snap here, it was -23C at the drill rigs the other day (our drillers want to go back to Alaska), coldest it has been here in 20 years. Plus about we got about a foot of snow, and the will have over 6 feet at over 7000 feet elevation (between last week and what they are expecting)...I thought I left Canada to avoid winter, shows how much I know.--kelapstick (talk) 21:06, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

J.delanoy confirms proxy use, so my memory hasn't totally failed me. There's a WP:LTA#AnonTalk entry on him also confirming proxy use. I'm checking on the standard block length. I don't usually deal with proxies. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:28, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Funny you mention, WP:ANI, I just left a message there. I don't think resetting is necessary. If somebody else wants to reset, that's fine with me. On that note, I'm wandering off now. I didn't intend to spend all this time dealing with this guy, so I'm off to do what I had intended to do. I'm sure everything will be sorted out on WP:ANI when I sign back on. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 08:42, 21 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I just wrote an article today regarding a new expression that is being used by St. Andrews College students in North Carolina. Within 2 hours of writing the article, I noticed that you had deleted it. I could see why you did that as I unfortunately referenced the name of the expression to a name of a female student. However, I have deleted that part and I believe that it can be shown on Wikipedia due to the fact that it is an expression used by students of the school and many people that have heard of the expression want to know the meaning of it as well as how it should be used. It is, like I wrote as well, becoming popular in the town as more people are using this expression.
This is my first article that I have written on Wikipedia. I admit my error was a rookie mistake but I ensure you that this will never happen again.
About this: IMO, explain or leave it out, 'cause it's only creating confusion as is, & I don't think it's necessary to know the glacial history. If you say it's on the peninsula, you're good; if you can track down a source for rebound, put in the "ex-island" with the explanation, & you're also good. Splitting the diff, in this case, strikes me a bad idea. TREKphilerany time you're ready, Uhura 22:21, 23 December 2009 (UTC) (FYI, the header is from this.)[reply]
I'd add the name ref to entire peninsula, then, & put up a note on the talk page it used to be an island, as you explained. As for sourcing, I meant, "eventually"; I'm presuming you've got some interest in the subject, & a source will turn up. If you post on its talk, somebody else might have it already. Either way, it gets sourced & put in. TREKphilerany time you're ready, Uhura 00:23, 24 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I apologize for the error and I will try and watch for that in the future. I am attempting to fix some date and formatting issues with some american military biographies and unfortunately he has a name thats similar to December. I will watch for his name though and avoid that in the future. Considering the number of edits I have made however I cannot possibly go back and review all my edits. Please let me know if you see any more errors though. --Kumioko (talk) 20:34, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Good catch on the quotes, NcNear was a good change because there was a determination made (that I can't find right at the moment) that says that Mc should be spelled out as Mac for sorting purposes and the names should be in lower case expcept for the first character. On the last one all I can say is its not perfect but its a start. --Kumioko (talk) 21:19, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
If the "tone" seems demanding, I apologize. If I had spoken this, it'd be a calm question. Sorry if the tone is wrong. I'm not making any demands, but just asking. It does seem rude when I read it. I admit that. I thank you for whatever actions you're taking with that article. I don't care if I'm banned or not, I've just been trying to keep the information straight on that Mario Show article and have been having trouble for quite awhile, with weasel statements and wrong or unproven info constantly inserted by User:StevenMario. So, again, thanks. Coffee5binky (talk) 03:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I did not add any new clan I just cleaned up what was in there for the past few years, and suggesting unsourced lists of this clan is wrong as what we listed there is what is known to scholars.
The user G. Capo (talk·contribs) has been changing the Edmonton and Calgary articles climate sections to humid continental climate when in fact they have a semi arid continental climate. I have shown them the fact that the two cities are under the Palliser's Triangle. I have explained that he need to cite proper sources. He has continued to change the content. With your much better background in weather i would like if you could comment on this. Cheers Kyle127820:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
We now have two sources that apparently are saying two different things. Apparently this source is using a different system. If it used Koppen’s classification, it would not describe the two cities as a “semi-arid continental climate”. I propose saying something to the effect of ((Calgary/Edmonton)) has a semi-arid continental climate. Under Koppen’s climate classification the city features a dry version of the humid continental climate. What do you think? (G. Capo (talk) 21:36, 19 January 2010 (UTC))[reply]
Hi CambridgeBayWeather. Would it be possible to have some page protection on the Hargeisa Canadian Medical Center article? There's a user there who keeps removing any and all tags indicating that the hospital is located in the Somaliland region of Somalia. He has actually personally threatened me on my talk page with legal action if I don't stop editing what he describes as "his" article: "Hargeisa Canadian Medical Center is my business. If you don't stop editing this article I will take legal action against you. I have not authorized you to write anything about my private business. I will also be getting in contact with Wikipedia to let them know." Besides obvious WP:OWN and WP:LEGAL concerns, I think there are clearly some WP:CONFLICT issues at work here as well since the user describes the hospital as his "private business" that he has not "authorized" me to tamper with. In truth, the article barely meets the standards for notability. There is but one source in the References section on the hospital, and that ref is in Somali. A Google search also only turns a bunch of Wiki mirrors, and one spread sheet that lists the various health facilities in Somalia including this hospital. Moreover, a series of single purpose accounts have been editing the article, which doesn't exactly inspire confidence either. I don't want to completely delete the fellow's article, but things obviously can't go on as they have either. Middayexpress (talk) 00:11, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, you cannot say that this is vandalism.

Thank you for adding geocoordinates to this article. I've corrected the region code from "ON" to "CA-ON". I find this page useful for looking up ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes for use in {{Coord}}.

Hey CambridgeBayWeather. If you've got a few minutes, would you mind doing some copy-editing for Manitoba? I'm hoping to send it to FAC in a few weeks, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Nikkimaria (talk) 14:45, 9 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Why did you undo two edits to the Unics and UnICS articles? No articles are linking to them anyway. You also undid my edit to the UNICS Kazan article. Some IP user also undid my edit from August 3, 2009 to the UNIX article on September 2, 2009 about the basketball team.

Hello,

The websiteowner has given authorisation. See footnote website.
Is there further things needed to make article undelete??
Please let us work further and undelete.
Hi there. I just had a question regarding Vijai S. Shankar. I tagged it for speedy deletion under the G11 criterion, as I felt it was (quoting from the policy) "exclusively promotional, and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to become encyclopedic." You removed the speedy deletion tag here: [8]. I'm reasonably new to new page patrolling, and was wondering whether you could explain to me why this page didn't meet G11, and what I should look for in the future to avoid making this mistake again. Thanks!-- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 09:41, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I deleted the above page, since you confirmed on Lear's Fool's talkpage that the G11 tag was not removed intentionally, and in my assessment the article fit the criterion. Of course, if you object, feel free to restore the page and it can be discussed at AFD. Regards. Abecedare (talk) 01:26, 16 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
The following revert to the heliograph page:

undid a hyphen to m-dash change (and I'd agree the hyphen is correct), but also removed this addition to the "heliograph in fiction" section:
In the Role-Playing GameSpace 1889, the Great Powers communicate with their colonial possessions on the inner planets of the Solar System by means of "orbiting heliograph stations".
Could you explain why that section was reverted? The material seems to have been accurate - looking at the referenced Wikipedia article Space 1889, even as far back as the Dec. 2007 version, the facts stated in the deleted material are in the referenced Space 1889 article.

hi Cambridge,
i know you are a genius! or anything else i can't explain but one thing for sure.... you have really very annoyed me. the reason for this comment is that you have unnecessarily deleted the page of Anglo Arabic School. do you know anything about this school? this school is one of the oldest schools of Delhi, Capital of India. around 350 years old.
don't know what to say but to help me out you have deleted the page, why? why? why? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Suhebriazsaifi (talk • contribs) 16:47, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Hi CambridgeBayWeather. The hatnote 'Otheruses' that you added to the article York Against Cancer seems very strange. If someone types in 'York Against Cancer', why might they be searching for one of the articles listed on the disambiguation page yak (disambiguation)? I checked what links to York Against Cancer, but I could not see any redirection pages listed. Coyets (talk) 17:13, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The cupping pages have been dormant for over two years and in much need of work. I intend to start trying to improve the pages. I added the film about cupping because I believe it is an important work that could help to unify and strengthen the cupping profession. I do not see this as spam, per se, but more towards informing the cupping community about attempts to advance the industry through cooperative efforts. I believe this is very relevant. I first set up a discussion page to get feedback and am interested in comments so I am not understanding why you decided to simply zap the entry before any discussion. While signing up some time ago, I am still new here.
In the external link section are some very serious spam issues that you did not address. With the quick undue you also canceled the link under external links. was that intended?
Please let experts in the field of cupping discuss this issue and decide if this pro active non-profit effort deserves some attention.
Some people might not like a few pictures. That does not mean they must be removed. [Correct]
The picture should be indicative of the person to whom the reference is being made [Do you agree?]
If so, then if I, out of my imagination or whatever, depict (draw) a person to cater to my taste and then post that picture as the PRIMARY picture of a person, wouldnt that be incorrect??
No, I didn't realise, the thing edit-conflicted and I must have pressed back. This happens often ;/ Thanks for the headsup, but I think he re-added the text. f o x(formerly garden)16:15, 6 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Please would you allow me to contest the deletion of the article Mohammed Daniel as it is clear that the subject is notable and there were references provided that met the wiki guidelines for verifiability. Even if you look at the discussion, you would have noticed that there were more votes to keep than delete. I think it was a bit harsh of you to say that the subject 'The research done persuades me that there is nothing at this time to indicate notability' If you still feel that your decision was correct can you provide specific info on what was lacking in the notability as I have read the guidelines and do not see any probs.
No sources or indication of notability in the article. Searching produced no obvious indication of notability, although existence of similar-named subjects makes it difficult to assess.
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of northernmost items. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of northernmost items. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
