Best tourist destinations of pakistan

This page is a important page for Pakistani people because it tells us the information that our media doesen't tells us and it shows the inner Pakistan —Preceding unsigned comment added by San andrew (talk • contribs) 22:02, 7 August 2010 (UTC)

Crypto++ deleteion

Hi Toddst1,

Thanks (I think?). Anyway, I'd like to work towards getting the article up to Wiki standards.

Crypto++ has a rich history like OpenSSL, and longevity unlike Botan and TrueCrypt. Is there an appropriate subsection for those interested in Crypto++? You'll have to excuse my ignorance - I can't tell what the article is missing that other popular libraries, such as OpenSSL, TrueCrypt, Botan, Boost, etc, have.

Removing "non-notable" usages from disambiguation pages

Please do not remove entries from disambiguation pages simply because the usage doesn't have its own article, as you seemed to be doing at Quest (disambiguation). It is perfectly okay to include usages that don't have their own articles, as long as there's a linked article with some information about that usage. See MOS:DABMENTION.

Wow. Didn't know that. I do now. Thanks for the heads up. Toddst1 (talk) 17:12, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Regret

Hey Toddst1, Please accept my apology. I didn't help the situation by pushing back so hard. Cheers, --Catsquisher (talk) 17:07, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. I could have used a lighter touch too. Toddst1 (talk) 17:11, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Banned username: JetskiTradeCenter

Hi Toddst1,

Why did you blocked my name JetskiTradeCenter? I used that name for nearly two years on this wikipedia, and suddenly you block me? Peekarica (talk) 22:26, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Your first contribution was 4 May 2010. You've made 5 contributions on two different articles, one of which is an unreferenced WP:NN fictional vehicle. What's the issue? Toddst1 (talk) 22:47, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Once I saw on this wiki that there was an article about an fictional ship in a game. Also I wasn't done at the moment you blocked me from wikipedia, but how many chance there is that the article will meet the end? Peekarica (talk) 23:25, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

You can still establish WP:Notability of the ship by adding WP:References from WP:Reliable Sources. Toddst1 (talk) 01:13, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Clarence John Laughlin: An Artist with a Camera

Hi, You deleted this article as a copyright violation. Could you please tell me what source(s) this article was a copied from? VernoWhitney (talk) 14:16, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Apparently this one. Mea culpa. Toddst1 (talk) 14:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for checking into it. Cheers! VernoWhitney (talk) 15:34, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Bad warning?

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

This is putting in junk, which fits my definition of vandalism. Was it severe? No. Should it be condoned? No. Should warning over it earn an apology? Not a chance. TREKphiler 20:12, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

I did not remove the speedy deletion tag from Clarion Alley. I added a hang on tag. It looks like you may have removed it yourself. Also, it was a brand new article when you first put that tag on, and the change you made by adding the deletion tag caused me to lose a bunch of edits and have to redo them. You might consider this advice: Special:Newpages logs new pages as they are created. It is advisable to patrol new pages from the bottom of the log: pages only stay in the queue for 30 days (720 hours), and there can be a considerable backlog. Working on the backlog eliminates complaints from editors that you tagged their page for deletion only two minutes after its creation. This should give the creating editor enough time to improve a new page before a patroller attends to it, particularly if the patroller tags the page for speedy deletion. Tagging anything other than attack pages, copyvio, vandalism or complete nonsense only a few minutes after creation is not likely to be constructive and may only serve to annoy the page author. And remember - if you don't click the 'patrolled' link, the article will remain in the 'unpatrolled' queue.

Please help with vandalism

User:81.226.72.209 is vandalizing Great Divergence repeatedly and is the sockpuppet of a banned editor. Please block him, thanks.Teeninvestor (talk) 13:32, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Teeninvestor and Gun Powder Ma

I was just about to start a request for an interaction ban between these two when I saw you blocked Teeninvestor - which I think was a good call (having dealt with him in the past over problems with original research, sources, etc has been no fun). Do you think such a ban would help here? And if so, shall I wait 48 hours? Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 15:55, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

And also missed the voluntary interaction restriction on Teeninvestor. Dougweller (talk) 16:54, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

I hope this works out. If not, there will be additional block(s) coming rather quickly and heavily. This nonsense has to stop. Toddst1 (talk) 17:38, 11 August 2010 (UTC)

Interaction ban made bilateral and permanent

I request that the above ban should be made bilateral/permanent after my 1 month's probation. This would mean that he would not edit articles I heavily edit, and vice versa. Also to draw to your attention another issue, I was reading economic history of China (pre-1911) today and made a tiny copyedit 1 before I realized I wasn't supposed to edit it. I'm telling you about this in case you think I was going to edit war or something.Teeninvestor (talk) 21:43, 12 August 2010 (UTC)
