about the notability requirement

A topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works with sources independent of the subject itself and each other

The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company or corporation itself.

* This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations

I think I am confused on your objective view what notability means. From I could find there are more trivial articals with significantly less relevance to society and yet still gathers a spot in Wiki. Let me ask you, why are there artical with no publication in the Bibiliograph and yet still considered notable while Q's has filled colums after colums in Mid Missouri and yet still considered unnotable? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Master q (talk • contribs) 21:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC).

Persistent vandal issue

On December 26, you reverted this conspiracy theory from Timothy McVeigh. Since then, Oklahoma City bombing has repeatedly had its wikilink to Timothy McVeigh changed to a hard link to the vandalized version of the article, and it is always done with a misleading edit summary. A variety of IP addresses are being used to make the exact same edits: 85.179.3.214 (talk · contribs), 72.36.239.30 (talk · contribs), and especially 81.233.185.213 (talk · contribs). Is there anything I can do other than leave vandalism warnings and request blocks once each address hits the magic threshold? I currently have 81.233.185.213 up to a {{test4}} warning. --Kralizec!

Zoe Tay

Hi Zoe - on 11 December 2006, the Zoe Tay page was semi-protected by Sarah Ewart after the discussion at http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/IncidentArchive153#Zoe_Tay. Today (1 Jan 2007), however, a sockpuppet by the name of Wenfangfan has come in to remove the three tags attached to it - the sprotected tag, the unreferenced tag and the inappropriate tone tag. Ryulong reverted to the original version. Wenfangfan came in to revert the article back to his/her preferred version, and added an image that was uploaded by banned user Walaha2006, confirming suspicions of sockpuppetry. I have reported this to Misplaced Pages:Administrator Intervention but hope that you would deem an indefinite ban fit for Wenfangfan. I feel that if sockpuppets are allowed to come in repeatedly and revert all edits to their preferred version, it makes a mockery out of Misplaced Pages. OngBS 16:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Spero Dedes

Hi Zoe - you removed the facts about Spero Dedes from his Misplaced Pages article, under rm attack. As noted, it's not an attack when the facts of the situation are presented - he didn't do his research and broadcasted misleading and simply wrong facts about Rutgers University.

Spam

I did not spam, I was simply leaving a message. cAN YOU EXPLAIN SPAM TO ME BECAUSE i DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND. --SHAERICELL!!!!! (is slightly crazy) Talker to! 20:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

hey a......., you remove what I wrote, I will put it on again, and for your health, leave it be if you know more about frozen seafood than us, fine but you do not I put this up, one to have a wiki link on this home page and to offer the consumer or anyone some correct information

you do NOT want visitors, take it as a promise, NOT a threat do not f... with my stuff SenorPescado

Spero Dedes

Zoe - great. Let me just reference that, and you can stop reverting the edits. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by MattyFridays (talk • contribs) 21:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

Zoe - I re-edited, and added a sourcing to NJ.com, which is a blog maintained by a writer for the Star Ledger, the biggest New Jersey newspaper. THanks. MattyFridays 22:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Try the second link added. From the Star Ledger, again. Search for "South Jersey" in the second link, under "Random Thoughts". It's sourced TWICE now. MattyFridays 22:05, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem. BTW, there's some jerk that is actually attacking Spero now, looking through the reverts. Just sayin'. MattyFridays 22:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

thank you

Thank you for unblocking me. But please see my further reply concerning the debate which precipitated everything on my talk page.Skookum1 22:55, 1 January 2007 (UTC) Further query on my talk page.Skookum1 23:36, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't log out

Check my IP. I didn't log out and haven't been edit warring. Instead I left a protest on the Talk Page, as I was instructed to do. Thank you for your kind consideration. WerewolfSatanist 23:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

For the record, this is WerewolfSatanist logged out. 4.88.23.204 23:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps it is notable that in the conversation, Aren hadn't sought consensus himself and deleted the LaVeyan Satanism article that there had been, which had included a criticism section (which as far as I could tell had no objections). Of course I could be in the wrong here, but I don't see what this person did as exactly condoned by everybody. WerewolfSatanist 23:20, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

nonsense

Incomplete articles count as nonsense.

According to you. they made absolutely no sense to me. Hence the tag of "Non-sense". Dropal 23:58, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Unwarrented block

You blocked User talk:216.129.135.4 for vandalizing a page that he was actually ALLOWED to vandalize. To quote from User:Hunt_4_Orange_November/draft2 "Note: This page is for editing or practicing HTML (or vandilisum if your wanting to let off some steam). This is not a real page and is a modification of Food . If there is any problem with this, see my talk page." Now I agree the user has been less helpful before, but this might not be a proper procedure. I suggest to undo the block and keep a close eye on him for his next violation of true policies :D TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 21:45, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your help in moving my page. Much appreciated •CHILLDOUBT• 22:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

removing the school motto translation

Is a translation necessary?

translation

does every latin motto have a translation?

This whole FSU page needs work. For instance, there is a summary list of departments, and then the WRONG departments underneath. Can I correct these glaring errors or not? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Mike850 (talk • contribs) 22:10, 2 January 2007 (UTC).

Re: Worm Ouroboros entries. Thanks! Its one of my favorite books also. I first read it 30 years ago and I keep coming back to it. As to page numbers, well the edition online at Sacred-Texts includes page numbers so... I'm pretty much using that. Still, too much work to put in editions for me.

Itche Goldberg Page

Although I can not prove this, I can almost guarantee you that Mr. Berger did not base his post on the wikipedia article; he mostly likely based it on a post to the "mendele" yiddish e-mail list. If you would like, I will send you the e-mail; however, I would need your e-mail address first.

Please stop deleting articles because they don't meet your person tastes. You obviously know very little about Hip Hop. Soul Control is very reputable dance crew. Among many contributions to the Hip Hop dance scene, they have popularized the now common "Air Flare". In fact, the term itself was coined by this crew. You probably don't know what an "Air Flare" is, basically, its like a gymnastic flare "Thomas Flare" except the entire front half of the flare is skipped over.

You'll see the move in this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cFB4Lzafdk

Soul Control includes many famous dancers. Kujo (Jacob Lyons), who at one time trained Cirque du Soleil in Canada, has pushed the push the envelope on Breakdancing/Bboy.

Granted, the article was a short stub, I am working on a detailed article.

Socrates/Plato argued that the right-action requires knowledge. For good intension can have bad consequence when we act without knowing. You are just trying to keep Misplaced Pages a source of good knowledge but you judgment should yield to knowing the difference between rubbish, something you know for sure is spam, and a stub or obscure entry.

Sincerely, Babak.

http://yiddish.forward.com/pages/radio/- about 22 minutes in there is an interview with Khaver Itche's longtime assistant- of course you have to understand yiddish. Like I said, I would also contact Mendele e-mail list. In addition, try the league for Yiddish (leagueforyiddish.org); if you email the director, she should back up the date of death.

Es kukt oys gut un gerekht- It looks great and correct (as far as I know)!--Engelmann15 01:47, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Wheel war

I see what you mean about the Wheel war :p FCYTravis reduced your ban of 65.0.104.154 to 24 hours. This anon user is back to vandalizing the artice with a new IP, as documented at ] . He did this during his ban. I've left a note on FCYTravis' talk page as well. Could you have a look at this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nardman1 (talk • contribs)

thanks a lot for telling me about the e-mail thing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris gonzalez (talk • contribs)

How to delete things

Can somebody tell me how to delete an article you created? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris gonzalez (talk • contribs)

Drop a {{db-author}} on it and an administrator (like Zoe or myself) will delete it. AnonEMouse 17:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

User talk page warnings

Hey there Zoe, I see we both warned Poorleno at the same time. Heh. Stepping on eachother's toes? :P Anywho, I just though you might appreciate WP:UTM. It has a whole bunch of templates so that we don't have to type in messages each time. {{tpv0}} or {{tpv1}} were probably the best options this case. Cheers! --Brad Beattie (talk) 22:23, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, with respect to supermodels.nl's profile- it was taken from img.com and is sourced, but furthermore, what if I ask supermodels.nl's approval to use the profile?

Hey

What's with the revert? --Far Beyond 23:24, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

SPAM #5

A deletion review in which you participated has been relisted: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rafed.net (2nd nomination).
brenneman 02:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Zoe-

I see that you deleted and protected "Freaks of Laughter". I would like to request that you unprotected it as a stub so that I and others can create a useful article on the subject.

You should know that I am in no way affiliated with the film or in any way vested in it other than that I have enjoyed it at a screening here in Washington DC and assisted the films producer in posting it on Google Video for viewing on the web (a requirement of one of the festivals that is considering the film).

After reading the possible reasons why it was deleted I understand some of the possible problems with the original entry and will use those guidelines in writing the new entry.

Thank you for your work on Misplaced Pages I find it very useful and I am sure that much of the credit should go to people such as yourself.

Thanks again

Yet again thank you for your help. You are helping me make my wikis the best they can be.

why did u call me dmb?

Re: this edit of yours

Even though I disagree with Zoe, and agree with you, on the Afd in question, I have to say she was right in her note. She might have been a bit brusque, but that's partly because she has less time. She fights a lot more fires than I do, so I'll take the liberty of explaining in more detail for her; I hope she doesn't mind. Your post did not shed more light on the issue of whether the Jewdar article should be kept. It did, however, raise the general level of heat and acrimony in the debate, unnecessarily. It encouraged turning a discussion about the article into a personal argument, unnecessarily. It ridiculed another participant, unnecessarily. It made people new to the debat want to vote against the article just because someone supporting it was behaving rudely. Whatever short pithy link you label that with, whether WP:CIVIL, WP:TIGER, WP:AGF, WP:NPA, or even WP:DICK, let's just say in words it was just a bad idea all around. Please, take a deep breath, realize that this is just one article (out of how many million?), realize that no one, not Recury, and certainly not Zoe, is out to get you personally, realize that we are all volunteers, trying to give the world a 💕, which seems to be a very worthwhile and rather selfless endeavor, and we should be nice to each other. We are all fools in certain ways and especially on certain days of the week, so we had darn well better suffer each other gladly if we want to get anything done. -- AnonEMouse 15:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Mouse, you said it a lot better than I could have.  :) User:Zoe|(talk) 16:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Removal of username

Hi,

I saw your reply on the Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents in regards to user going by the name user:ARYAN818. I strongly agree with you that the combination of the name is not coincidential. Furthermore, not only is his name offensive to some users, but his attitude of intolerance in regards to other people's cultures and ethnic background directly and indirectly shows. This user is taking advantage of the fact that the name Aryan is commonly used in Northern India and is making a fool out of a lot of us. This username is also disrespective to other users who may be of certain backgrounds who find this name offensive. I support you if you are planning on either removing the user, or getting the user to change his user name. Regards,

Wiki Raja 23:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

He will tell you that 818 stands for an area code, and that Aryan means "noble" in Northern India. Even if his name is accepted, his intolerant attitude will have to go. Wiki Raja 23:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Removing content...

Altered it. Changed mind. Reversed it. Now explained it. Cheers RIANZ 00:41, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Indeed they do RIANZ 00:48, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

what a joke... who are u and why did you delete that page on fortune?

If you're trying to escalate the problem between us...

...you're doing an AWESOME job. I deleted the comment you had a problem with form your talk page, and I deleted your harassment from my talk page. I'm going to delete your comment AGAIN in a moment. I backed off, and you decided that you would become aggressive. Fine. You're an administrator, I suppose that's your prerogative. I'll ask you not to revert your comment on my talk page again. In fact, don't ever comment on my talk page again. Should you continue to stalk me, appropriate measures will be taken. Please consider this your one and only warning. -- weirdoactor 18:10, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
