Hi. No headaches. The place gets a lot of g-hits, so I thought a speedy might be a bit hastey.

I'm sorry Koder but the edits I made to the pages of Hutu and Tutsi are not vandalism. The articles I added are from BBC.com based on the Rwandan Genocide which affected those 2 groups. You don't have any right to remove those articles from the Hutu and Tutsi pages, because those articles are about them. Plus, you should not remove it from the evil or the church pages, because in those BBC articles it mentions how people were killed in "churches" and how there was evil behind those killings. What I did is not vandalism Koder so you need to give me a good reason why, because if you remove valid content that is related to an article like Hutu and Tutsi or evil and church then you are committing vandalism yourself, because you are removing articles that contain valid facts based on the Rwandan Genocide and church evil.
An editor has asked for a ] of , ]] and , ]] . Since you closed the deletion discussion for these articles or speedy-deleted them, you might want to participate in the deletion review. ] 18:08, 14 June 2007 (UTC) These articles do not contain inappropriate content, therefore you need to give a reason why you would delete them for the Hutu, Tutsi, Church, and Evil pages even though the content in the bbc articles "TAKEN OVER BY SATAN" and "MASSACRE AT NYARUBUYE CHURCH" are relevant to them.
*Yikes, I apologize for outright removing those two links from ] and ] and calling them vandalism. On the other hand, links regarding the ] should probably be placed there instead of the ethnic group pages. Consider: would two links about ] be relevant to the present-day state of ]? But, I digress, you are correct in notifying me that those two links were not outright vandalism. However, the main reason I removed both links from your recent history was due to overlinking for the following reasons:
*# They are merely "indirectly related" (see also: ]) to the pages you added them to. You added both links, which primarily address ], to the following pages, none of which reference or pertain to the recent genocide:
*##]
*##]
*##]
*##]
*##]
*# The mere mention of a location of an event is not sufficient reason to warrant a direct reference of that event on the location's page. This applies to placing your links on ]. While I understand why you did so (one of them occurred in a church), it is not appropriate to link a genocide with an otherwise-innocent establishment. For example, while during ], ] were forced to work in ] by people who called themselves ], it is not appropriate to add ]'s diary to both ] and ] (or even ]). Therefore, I removed your links from both ] and ].
*# The ], ], and ] articles deal with their respective emotional states in almost purely scientific and/or philosophic approaches. They take a meta-analysis approach to the emotions and their implications for history, and do not expound on explicit examples, as they're deemed universal emotions. That is, the average reader will understand horror, evil, and hate without reading an article by the BBC on genocide. Instead, we allow the reader to explore articles like ], ], ], ], ], ], and more. You can quickly see how linking every single link from these pages to the Evil, Hate, and Horror pages could be problematic-- and that's not accounting for all the nasty things that happened in their churches, either. Thus, your links were not appropriate there.
*# The links also do not belong on the ] page because the acts, themselves, were not overtly under the claim of God, Jesus, or other deities, as were ]. However, this is debatable, but more so in the ] article.
*# No discussion of the links was made prior to inserting them in any of the pages. Usually you should discuss changes on each page's talk page, defending why the change was made.
*# You gave no edit summary defending why you added the links or why they pertained to the pages to which you were adding them.
*# You are anonymous. The majority of spam and spam links and vandals come from anonymous users. Consider creating an account.
*# Your links are shock-and-awe in nature, which led me to believe you were simply trying to gain a commiserating audience for whatever cause you support.
*# Your links were ALL UPPERCASE, which draws unnecessary attention to the links.
*# Your link additions were done in a short period of time.
*# The exact same links were posted multiple times, as was demonstrated above, on multiple, irrelevant pages. All of this taken together, this led me to believe they were spam, or you were from the BBC (or possibly, you were the author of the content in the links).
*# I was in auto-pilot mode due to the large amount of spam that was coming in when you made those edits.


== Reminder to participate in Misplaced Pages research ==
*''In short'': you are correct in noting that, if you honestly added the links believing they were relevant to the pages, that it was not explicitly vandalism. On the other hand, the removal of the links from their respective pages adheres to ]-- at least, as I understand it. Thus, I believe that while the reason given for removing the links may not have been accurate as to your intentions, the removal, itself, '''was''' accurate. I apologize for mislabeling your intentions as vandalism, I appreciate you notifying me of this error, and I hope you accept my apologies for labeling you a vandal. Sometimes the people like me who are always looking for vandalism start assuming that things that match vandalism patterns are, themselves, vandalism. :(. If you would like, however, it would seem completely relevant for your links (NOT IN ALL CAPS, that is) to be posted to ], as they appear to be possibly valuable contributions. However, if you would like, you may also continue with your deletion review request. Thanks, and sorry about any mix up. If you have any further questions or comments, please feel free to notify me. :) --] 21:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


Hello,
== BITE much? ==


I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].
You reverted a good faith edit as vandalism , then left a vandalism warning on their talk page. Please take time out from ] to refresh your memory on what is and is not ]. I will be more than happy to assist you, if you have difficulty. ]<sup>]</sup> 02:20, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
:Ah yes, that one probably should have been an even more welcoming notice than the level 1 vandal one. However, I did not think that level 1 vandal was excessively harsh to a new editor. After all, consider the text, "Welcome to Misplaced Pages. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to whateverarticle, was not constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia." This is much, much nicer of text than which the average person, who even himself claims ], will post on discussion pages and user talk pages, and it doesn't even mention the word "vandalism" except in the edit summaries. Moreover, it's an actual message as opposed to a random removal of text without any notice of what happened (like quite a few non-RC patrolling admins do, sadly), therein ghosting the new editor's changes and leaving him in the dark as to what happened. I reason that if at least I leave a notice is so that the user will come to me as opposed to randomly flaming people elsewhere and getting pissed off and leaving the Wikimedia sites.


Take the survey ''''''.
:With regard to ], I honestly did not see the edit as an ''un''intentional misinformation attempt. The exact preceding two sentences explicitly said the exact opposite of what the user added, and the user placed his text directly before the cite for the contradicting information, which made it look very suspiciously like vandalism, but not quite something as overt as cuss words and calling atheists morons, which is normally the case on a highly vandalized page such as ]. I saw it as something similar to someone writing "Do not go the" in front of a "Speed Limit" sign. Believe me, I know what vandalism normally is, and I always try to AGF (check my contribs, if you would like). However, I am known to make mistakes from time to time, and I apologize if you believe I was excessive in my actions. If you have suggestions as to what I can do otherwise, please let me know. Have a good one, and cheers. :) --] 03:04, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

::The sentence was a complete sentence; it was about Atheists in foxholes, so it was in the appropriate paragraph. Far from being "the complete opposite" of the previous sentences, it did not even contradict the previous statements at all, but even if it did that would be poor writing not vandalism. It was OR and incorrectly placed before a cite which did not support it, but it was ''also'' the very first edit of a registered editor. In short, this was clearly not vandalism, and using the template you used for anything other than obvious vandalism (such as your examples of foul language and childish insults) is biting. I fail to see where the confusion might be.
Kind Regards,
::If you choose to reply to this, please do not duplicate your response on my talk page. As I clearly indicate on the box at the top of my page, I will reply here to any response you may choose to give. ]<sup>]</sup> 12:00, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Ideally, please use this link to post new messages at the bottom. If you can't find something you recently posted, I might have moved it down there or it could have been archived if you posted it over 7 days ago. Cheers :)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Comment

Regarding slakr:

Why did my page get deleted? Please see Misplaced Pages:Why was my page deleted? first. I have no idea what you're talking about. What's vandalism? If you received a warning from me and you're not logged in, you might have gotten an old warning I sent to someone who shares your IP address. On the other hand, if you've made recent edits and received a recent warning message from me and you genuinely believe that it's not vandalism, don't fret-- simply drop me a message below, because I could have simply made a silly mistake. :)

Regarding SineBot:

Why does SineBot keep signing stuff I've already signed? All comments should have a signature that includes both a link to your user page (slakr) and a datestamp (05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)) (per signatures - internal links). This is most easily generated by placing four tildes (~~~~) at the end of your contributions, which makes something like "slakr 05:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)".

If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.

If you're still having problems after trying that, post a message below. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. I don't want my comments signed by SineBot. How do I get it to ignore me or my talk page? Please use one of the opt-out methods listed on its user page. SineBot forgot to sign something it should have signed. Usually this happens because the bot isn't sure if it really should sign something, so it defaults to not signing it (e.g., in cases of complex edits). It does this to avoid being annoying. Other times, a comment might be made when the bot is down for maintenance, so the bot simply never sees it. SineBot signed something that it genuinely should not have signed. Please let me know-- especially if you think it's not a one-time thing. Be sure to include diffs to make sure I can reference the problem. Is SineBot's source code available? Not currently. I'm signing with four tildes (~~~~) but it's still saying I didn't! You likely enabled raw signatures. Open your preferences, click the "User profile" tab, make sure that "Treat the above as wiki markup" is NOT checked, and click Save; it should be fixed. If you have an interwiki-linked user page, consider either creating a user page on enwiki that redirects to your preferred home wiki or simply opting out of automatic signing.
