Concerning about an edit in Christopher Langan

First off, I am not the one being non-neutral. The other person, who continuously kept typing that CTMU had not been published in a peer-reviewed journal, despite the fact that it has (as clearly stated in the article) is the person who is being non-neutral. - Kronos777 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kronos777 (talk • contribs) 18:50, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

I thought you said in this edit that "This is actually in complete violation of Neutral point of view, but when it comes to Misplaced Pages, I guess they just don't give a shit". You must be violating the neutral point of view policy. I tend to 'so-called' agree with SuperHamster when you are disrupting the article in your talk page.  Merlion  444  05:00, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Regarding such content as attack page or vandalism

{{helpme}}

When an editor post negative comments on a person, who is not an editor of Misplaced Pages, on his/her user page or create an article about that, is it considered an attack page (WP:CSD#G10) or vandalism (WP:CSD#G3)?

-- Merlion  444  09:14, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Attack, if it meets the criteria explained in WP:ATTACK. Negative comments in an article with appropriate references to reliable sources, however, are perfectly acceptable.  Chzz  ►  09:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Why?

Why do you hate Chris Smith? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.194.100.35 (talk) 04:44, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Not that I hate Chris Smith, Misplaced Pages is not a publisher of original thought. It is also not anyone's web host.  Merlion  444  04:47, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi, Thanks for the Barnstar. Atif.t2 (talk) 06:58, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Something wrong

When I tag Michele Tabernilla for speedy deletion with CSD A7, I found out on the revision history that there is only me requesting speedy deletion. I did not create the article and the original author is unknown. What is wrong?  Merlion  444  07:14, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Now it's Ellehcim 101 who created the article. He/she's been warned about speedy deletion. I suppose it's a glitch.  Merlion  444  07:17, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Nice work :)

Thanks, but I still need to improve on my skills in order to have a good experience in patrolling new pages.  Merlion  444  07:34, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Ha, you're doing a really great job, trust me. But naturally, we're all still learning :) - Kingpin (talk) 07:36, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Tereza Maxová

Hello Merlion444, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Tereza Maxová - a page you tagged - because: Article claims importance/significance of the subject. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. SoWhy 12:01, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I just thought there are no references on the article.  Merlion  444  12:02, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. This is a common mistake people make with A7 (read this link for more information!). This criterion you used does not require references to be present, it only requires that importance or significance (not notability!) is indicated in the article and someone who was on magazine covers usually can be considered significant. Instead, try tagging the article for the issues it has (for example using {{unreferenced}}) or try improving it yourself using services like Google News. If you have further questions, feel free to ask. PS: When using {{talkback}}, do simply add {{talkback|Merlion444}} to the user's talk page. Do not use {{subst:talkback|Merlion444}} or copy the code from Template:talkback. Regards SoWhy 12:17, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Rollback?

Hi Merlion, :) I just had a quick look at your contributions; keep up the good work! Would you be interested in having the rollback feature? You can read about it here: Misplaced Pages:Rollback feature. I'd be happy to give you access, if you're interested. Maedin\ 16:07, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Sure, I'd like to have this feature. Anyway, I could use Huggle if I had that feature.  Merlion  444  16:11, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

I have enabled rollback on your account, congrats! Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

• Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
• Rollback can be used to revert vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
• Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message on my talk page if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Cheers, Maedin\ 16:22, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

talk page semi protect

I do not want to semi protect my talk page because the idiot might decide to vandalize the mainspace instead. I would prefer to keep the theatrics in one page, and on a page where it does not cause much damage. —Dark 09:55, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

In which case, I'll respect DarkFalls wishes and not reprotect his talk page. Mjroots (talk) 10:04, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

When an editor blanks a section of a page or the entire page and replace it with nonsense, is it considered vandalism or removal of content? --  Merlion  444  15:02, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
