Gwen, you blocked {{ipvandal|98.100.198.100}} about a month ago for vandalism to Jimbo's userpage. Looking at the previous contribs before the sudden vandalism, there seems to have been some good faith edits in there, which leaves me to believe that the IP the vandal was on has probably been reassigned by now, especially after about three weeks of the current block. I'd be willing to unblock if this has occurred. What do you think? ] 18:40, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

:Thinking of blocks, how's ? No, I'm not suggesting that you act on it -- indeed, it's clear that you shouldn't, precisely because I was the blocqueur and am bringing it to your attention -- but there's something remarkable, I think, about an appeal that is no more than ] from Jonathan Swift but, uh, manages to be (a) gruesomely mangled and (b) attributed to a misspelled Swift. -- ] (]) 15:23, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

== Talk page guidelines ==

Hello. As I understand it, ] asks us to remove potentially libellous or problematic material ''about'' a person from anywhere, but not to remove comments about an article itself from the talk page (which is what it's for). Also, it's best to ignore trolls rather than encourage them by reverting, isn't it? ] (]) 21:51, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

::]. ]. Unsourced negative content about living persons is scythed wherever and whenever it shows up on en.Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 21:57, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

::: I agree, but ] is about vandalism, and that comment was a legitimate (if paranoid) comment about the article-writing process; there was nothing there that could be construed as libellous about the living person in question (RMS). I'd imagine that reverting will only increase the paranoia. ] (]) 22:05, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
::::You're the one who said ''troll'', not me. ] (]) 22:20, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
::::: Heh, yes — but with an "also", to clarify that it is a general question and disclaim any direct bearing on the current issue. ;-) My question is, is it ok to just remove complaining comments like this one from talk pages just because they are on articles about people? It would make things a whole lot easier, but somehow it doesn't seem right. (On the other hand, I guess this comment could be considered a "personal attack" on other editors. I still don't see the BLP connection, though, since the "cult followers" are unnamed and vague.) ] (]) 22:29, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
::::::Unsourced negative content about living persons is scythed wherever and whenever it shows up on en.Misplaced Pages. ] (]) 22:41, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
::::::: Look, I hope I'm not annoying you, but that is exactly what I'm asking. Has that happened here? Was there "unsourced negative content" about RMS in that comment? I don't see it, but if you think so, then yes, it should be removed (but should the rest of the comment be removed as well?) ] (]) 23:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I was looking to re-create this article, but thought I'd check with you first.

My guess is that the article you deleted was little more than a trivial mention of the match, with at most the scoreline, the two teams and the lineups, and therefore was correctly deleted. Provided it is properly sourced and substantial enough, I believe it is notable enough to ''have'' an article, as evidenced by equivalent matches linked to from ]. I also believe that if I start the article, I will add enough to it for it to be meaningful- ] and ] are examples of articles I've created. I'm planning on starting work on it in my ] over the next day or so, but just thought it best to notify you before putting it onto the mainspace. Thanks in advance, ] (]) 06:31, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

:The deleted article had no text, only some categories and a transclusion. Ten months ago, an editor tagged it and I did the speedy. If you think an article can be had there, please do as you think fit. ] (]) 11:32, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

::I thought as much. As it was deleted I thought it was worth double-checking anyway. Thanks, ] (]) 11:51, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

==Help!==

You seem like a neutral pov type of editor, if history is an indication. Right now a sign up team , and some others are ganging up on me here and also . This seems like a strange way to try to solve a perceived problem. A request for comment about an article being over sourced in my opinion ], to a not neutral political pov would be a better approach. Also a user is taking material from blog/forums (Lawrence Kwhoo) to use as demeaning or attacking material, one who seems to have a personal vendetta about mainstream having weight, he is linking material like this This seems very wrong to me, and it is noted that skip sievert is an avatar name. He has also negatively canvased people also in other venues in my opinion

I am not a perfect editor, but I try to follow policy and guidelines. Right now this is not working in regard to trying to deal with ''numbers'' of the editing team that want my voice removed from an article. My interests and what I edit on Misplaced Pages is broad. I feel like one little group is targeting me currently with this situation. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. ] (]) 14:49, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Gale, if feel it was unfair closing of this article in my view. Actually, there are so many articles in Misplaced Pages of unknown origin, or no followers, of various religions, with various sorts of claims. Why only this article is targeted? Shouldn't there be a vote on the article? If a person is part of the group of leaders of a large community, e.g. hindus, who is validated by other leaders, isn't he valid? Please do not use prejudices to exclude something. Edit or tag it as inappropriate. Curiously, I am researching for school, and this guy has a huge following in India. I am lead to think the editors had some biased prejudice? I have just read the following pages, that contain even more so called promotional material (with no appropriate references, or citing single books): Jesus, Islam, John Paul II, Anglicanism. There are even more. Instead of deleting could you mark sections that need to be improved? At least leave some information for my sake, as I would rather trust wikipedia, than an organization's page...
