An American in Madras

Do you realize that An American in Madras is directly copy and pasted from this: . Ergo, it is copyright infringement. - Hoops gza (talk) 02:45, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

I know, that's why I deleted it. ... discospinster _talk 02:46, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. I notice that new users who do things like this, such as create articles and then battle to not have it speedily deleted when it clearly breaks one of Misplaced Pages's policies, are often not blocked. That is, when those are the user's only edits. Why is that? Such activity is about as constructive as vandalism. - Hoops gza (talk) 02:50, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

My Edit on November 20, 2014

Hello, Discospinster!

I'm sorry about my failure to explain my edit to List of programs broadcast by Jetix. Still, there was a reason as to why I removed that strand of text, and it was because it was a repeat of a statement already made earlier in the article.

"This is a list of television programs broadcast by Jetix around the world, now known as Disney XD.

This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.

This is a list of television programs broadcast by Jetix around the world, now known as Disney XD."

This sounded a little repetitive to me. I'd Really like it if my last edit was restored. Thank you!

OK I have put it back the way it was. Thank you for explaining. ... discospinster _talk 19:15, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Daisytown, Pennsylvania

The information that is being displayed is the census from the Daisytown in Washington County Pennsylvania. The Zip Code if you research it belongs to the one in Washington County. This whole article is messed up. http://zipcode.org/city/PA/DAISYTOWN The Zip Code for the one in Cambria County is 15902: http://www.zipmap.net/Pennsylvania.htm

You keep changing stuff, when people try to make corrections, yet you don't even research it as to why it changed.

Georgi Terziev

Being born in Bulgarian city is not equal to Bulgarian people. Many other articles all over Misplaced Pages have it and no one is removing it, why not here? Please explain? Noseamuseos (talk) 02:24, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

The article already includes Category:Bulgarian footballers. Thus, he is a Bulgarian person and that category is redundant. ... discospinster _talk 02:27, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

Category:Bulgarian people is different from Category:Bulgarian footballers. Bulgarian people is about Bulgarian ethnicity while Category:Bulgarian footballers could have Armenian, Turkish, Ukrainian or any other ethnicity and still to be part of Category:Bulgarian footballers. You did not convince me on your point. Please try again. Noseamuseos (talk) 02:32, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

No, they both relate to people from Bulgaria, of any ethnicity. That is why the category tree is Bulgarian footballers → Bulgarian sportspeople → Bulgarian people by occupation → Bulgarian people. ... discospinster _talk 02:42, 27 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't like you buddy, but I will refrain from editing this silly online database. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Georgia the dog and Izzy and scarlett the dog too (talk • contribs) 03:22, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

That's all I ever wanted. ... discospinster _talk 03:24, 28 November 2014 (UTC)

Neil Tennant

Pet Shop Boys frontman is well known for being a gay. Blatant abuse of admin powers to confine me to 3-revert rule. Amamamamama (talk) 20:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

He may be "a gay" but it's not the sort of thing that needs to be mentioned in the very first paragraph. ... discospinster _talk 20:52, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

As you're an admin meaning I can't argue with you, I've applied your policy to Jimmy Somerville. --Amamamamama (talk) 20:56, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

That's fine by me. ... discospinster _talk 20:57, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

154.42.160.82

User_talk:154.42.160.82, block log was blocked twice, most recently blocked by you. It returned to Poo vandalism 13 November 2014, but don't trust the relative-quiet of the contribution history. I'm seeing a dozen failed edits like this crap in today's abuse filters, and I'm only looking at a few minutes of abuse filter history. It's up to you how you want to handle this, but in my opinion today's failed attempts to vandalize are good cause to reblock and significantly increase the duration, especially when there were successful poo edits after the last block. Prevent the next vandalism attempt, and hopefully get the message across that the blocks will increase. It appears to be a business IP address so I don't see much risk of collateral damage on an IP block. Alsee (talk) 11:30, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the notice, I'll keep an eye on that one. ... discospinster _talk 13:45, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Sora1m1

Hi Disco! Who was Sora1m1 a sock of? Curious. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:31, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm an idiot. Just saw . Facepalm Cyphoidbomb (talk) 16:33, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Haha no problem. ... discospinster _talk 18:10, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Addendum: I think the user might be asking for their talk page access to be revoked, since they keep removing notices of active sanctions. Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:50, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

OK I've removed talk page access. ... discospinster _talk 04:04, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

Sandbox move

I was trying to move my user draft into the mainspace but when i tried i accidentally moved it to User:Jim McDonnell (sheriff). Then I tried to move it back to the original userspace draft but then I accidentally ended up moving it to User:User:SantiLak/sandbox/Jim McDonnell. I just want to move it back to my its original place which was User:SantiLak/sandbox/Jim McDonnell. My apologies but I messed up the move process and it says an admin is needed. I really appreciate your help. - SantiLak (talk) 19:06, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

I think I've managed it. Check User:SantiLak/sandbox/Jim McDonnell. ... discospinster _talk 19:12, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. - SantiLak (talk) 02:43, 2 December 2014 (UTC)

about my editing ?

what exactly is wrong with it ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eclyda (talk • contribs) 15:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't see any edits other than this one on my talk page. What precisely are you referring to? ... discospinster _talk 23:27, 3 December 2014 (UTC)

Christina Krusi

Yes, the Christina Krusi page is under a major edit in order to make the page simpler and less political which takes away from the reason she is notable. I have permission from Christina Krusi to do this and to satisfy other wiki users that were upset with the page. The page was becoming a platform for debate on issues, which is not mean on Wiki pages for notable persons. The page will be better after I finished. I have also got a message from one user that the simpler page will be cleaner and highlight the important things objectively and well referenced. I am also deleting the old talk page comments because Wiki asked me to do that with a major edit like this. Thanks! Coco353 (talk) 04:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

I'm not sure what Misplaced Pages policy requires you to blank a talk page. ... discospinster _talk 04:06, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

Given the topic (accusations of Satanic ritual abuse and sexual abuse), this page will have a hard time not being controversial (I don't know political is the right characterization.) I dispute Coco353's way to characterizes the debate. I also note Coco353's collaboration with subject of page ("I have permission from Christina Krusi) as possible COI. And I not aware that being a "notable person" means they are exempt from controversy. The reason Krusi is notable is publication of book/producing movie of sensational abuse. This is circular reasoning...SolaryVeritas (talk) 21:05, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Regarding your summary deletion of uncited information...

Why don't you instead add a "citation needed" template, and give the contributor a certain amount of time to comply, before deleting? That would seem to be the more civil way to handle things -- and the very existence of the citation-needed template seems to imply that Misplaced Pages would prefer that you use it. (If not using it is preferable, the citation-needed template ought to be done away with altogether.) 174.24.25.153 (talk) 06:05, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

I don't know which edit you are talking about, but if it's about a living person, WP:BLP requires that we remove contentious information if it is not cited. ... discospinster _talk 11:35, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

OK I am assuming you're talking about this one. Does that quote come from the "Resolution Concerning Common Core and Assessments" source? It's not clear from the edit. When it comes to quotes of living persons there should be a citation of some kind. ... discospinster _talk 11:39, 4 December 2014 (UTC)

A Change is Gonna Come

I think you must add to the Sam Cooke " A Change is Gonna Come" wiki page. Please add that Joshua Ledet performed the song in incredible fashion probably better than any singer has done since Sam Cooke.

Thank you.

PS. I have never contacted wIkipedia before for any reason, but felt compelled to mention that Joshua Ledet should be added to the list of singers who covered the song.

Block evasion

An IP you recently blocked is now editing as . His repeated removal of an unpopular album from the Fleetwood Mac template consistently gives him away . Cheers, Bretonbanquet (talk) 19:43, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

I've blocked that one too. ... discospinster _talk 20:40, 5 December 2014 (UTC)

Camp Stone

Hey,

Sorry if I accidentally deleted your content. I am the director in training for Camp Stone. It is very important to us that it not be listed among "summer camps in pennslvania" So please remove us from any of those tags on wikipedia regarding camping, summer camps, etc. We would like to remain as anonymous as possible to cross references. Thanks!

Why don't you want it listed in the template? ... discospinster _talk 00:44, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Discopinster,

I also noticed that you put back all the content I deleted about our camp. A lot of the information is incorrect and does not reflect what we want on Misplaced Pages. Please put the content itself back to the way I edited it. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yakfleisch (talk • contribs) 00:42, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

ChatterMate block

Please add userpage block to your block of User:ChatterMate for making personal attacks. Meters (talk) 01:00, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Done. ... discospinster _talk 01:02, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Discopinster,

I don't think there is anything you need to do at this point. I think I successfully edited my page for Camp Stone the way I want it to read and I believe your content, which is no longer linked to our page, is accurate and intact as well. Win win. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yakfleisch (talk • contribs) 01:14, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

Akram Aylisli

Dear colleague!

Explaine me please the reasons why You deleted my edition of the article about Akram Aylisli? IMHO I made the article more informative and structured. I kept all the points (and the notes) from the previous editions, but just replaced them in a special chapters. What's wrong?

Thanks Shura Burtin — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burtin (talk • contribs) 21:01, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

You did not explain in the edit summary what you were doing, so it seemed like you were removing content at random. ... discospinster _talk 21:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Jason Mooney

Classic wikipedia editing abuse of power. I was asked to cite a source, and I cited a source. You then took it upon yourself to threaten me for vandalism. Get a life.
