Redirects from articles to users.
In regards to Arthur John Haughey, the move was done correctly. The redirect should now be deleted - articles should not be redirected to users, ever. The CSD notice should stay there so that an administrator knows to do housekeeping. The content of the page has already been moved where it belongs, so nothing is lost by doing this. - Stephanie Daugherty (Triona) - Talk - Comment - 05:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Sorry - it appears I am wrong. --ArmadilloFromHell 05:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
list of mil figures
I meant to... There should be a page up with that name, 'cause I did do 1. Did I leave off "nicknames"? Trekphiler 06:28, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
list of military figures
Oops. I scrooed up.... And, truth to tell, I don't know how to fix it. Trekphiler 06:30, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- List of military figures has a subtitle This is a list of military figures by nickname - I did a move on it to List of military figures by nickname' --ArmadilloFromHell 06:32, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
User in question
It was "ILikeDemocracy." Guy's been doing a strange mix of good edits and nonsense. I gently warned him about an attack page he did and he kept insisting that this person was really bad. OK, fine, says I. Just don't go trumpeting it on an international stage. Ah, the fun of Misplaced Pages. :) - Lucky 6.9 06:43, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, I had just reverted Triona's edits and got corrected, and apologized back so I was confused as to who was saying what to whom. It's too late - time for bed. Sometime the whole vandalism thing is too much to deal with.. --ArmadilloFromHell 06:48, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you!
Thanks so much for helping in restoring articles after a persistent vandal. And not the least, thanks for promptly removing vandalism from my user page. Happy editing! Bertilvidet 14:47, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- You are very welcome. --ArmadilloFromHell 14:54, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Brainiac (toy)
I thinks that Geniac is incorrect - in that it says the Brainiac has only three wheels??? Also, the company made an analogue computer with precision potentionemters, but I forget what it was called. --ArmadilloFromHell 14:09, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- Hi - please do feel free to add & correct the info - I actually know 0 about Brainiac, etc. I was just cleaning up some articles. Steve 15:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
How was that Vandalism?
I'm sorry, but I'm not sure what I did wrong. Eg in the case of CN Tower - if you looked at the link, it did contain information useful to the end user (pictures, reviews, a map, so forth). I don't see why it was wrong as it added value? (and sorry if I am posting in the right place, still figuring it out)
Heh - just saw the last entry on the talk page and assumed it was to me :) I'm just saying that - I'm no driveby (and so here I am), and all the links I did add had useful information (there were quite a few TO landmarks I left alone). Eg Toronto Zoo - you can compare the listing here and on the linked to page, and I thought the pictures+reviews would make it useful to an end user. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.224.163.124 (talk • contribs)
- When I see a new user post a few externsl links, I assume it's bad judgement and send a minor warning and delete the link.
- I randomly checked several of your edits, and they were not acceptable. It appears that the only intention of your edits (and there were lots of them) were to drive traffic to a web site. When I see a new account where the only edit activity is adding external links, I assume it is all commercial link spam. I cease to have good faith, and assume it is intentional and do not bother wasting any more time checking each link in detail. Read Misplaced Pages:Spam and expecially http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:External_links#Links_normally_to_be_avoided --ArmadilloFromHell 05:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Vandalism??
Im confused at what you felt was not important to my edits on Beth Ostrosky? I put a comma in where it was gramatically correct, I removed the brackets around a an already linked link, I bracketed the year 2000, and put brackets in for the North Shore animal league, which is the largest Animal Shelter in the USA, and is a nation wide organization. Now someone can start an article about it. Im going to go ahead and make the appropriate fixes. Aspensti 17:03, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- OOPs, I blew it sorry, I should have looked in more detail. I just saw the removal of Howard Stern and the addition of a year link, at the time it looked like vandalism. --ArmadilloFromHell 17:15, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
- No Problem Aspensti 17:19, 3 October 2006 (UTC)
Running over you on Tambi
Sorry about running over you a couple of times on that article. What a mess. Looks like you've got a lock on watching that, so I'll back off. Have fun! =) -- Gogo Dodo 04:54, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- Too bad the lock did not include a db speedy. I think there were four accounts working together in a planned attack. --ArmadilloFromHell 05:03, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- It did get protected at a weird spot. Ask the protecting admin to review the page and delete it. When I first saw that article, I browsed through the history and didn't find a single case where that article was worthwhile. -- Gogo Dodo 05:13, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
- I just posted on the talk page, I'll add some. The IP accounts involved are now blocked. Since it may get deleted, I've archived for now at User:ArmadilloFromHell/Tambi --ArmadilloFromHell 05:25, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
