VSU

I'm curious. What was wrong with this link, in the VSU article?

You removed it as being 'biased'. There are many other anti-VSU articles in that page already; why not allow some balance?

Hi, Ambi! Welcome back. :) Func( t, c, @, ) 20:09, 19 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yay! You're back! See what politics will do to you? Stay out of it! Do your job for the job's sake! Alphax τεχ 07:20, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome back!

Hi Ambi! Just a quick note to let you know how pleased I am to see you're back safe and sound. Just a little suggestion: just ignore those who can't find anything better to do with their time than to engage in stupid and petty battles. They're not worth spending time on. I don't often edit your articles, but I have read quite a bit of your work, and I've missed you over the last few weeks. I really hope you're back to stay for good, Ambi. I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. David Cannon 13:13, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yay! - brenneman(t)(c) 04:03, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Glebe Park, Canberra

Hi Ambi, you mentioned Glebe Park in the City Centre, Australian Capital Territory article. I thought you might be interested to know that I created a Glebe Park, Canberra page and uploaded a pic. The article needs a LOT of work. (I've had enough for one day but I thought a start with a pic was better than nothing). Adz 12:46, 21 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Barendse

Why did you revert my edit? the quote is verry relevant to Joyce's denial. It establishes that he may not be of the opinion that is stated above that. Also, saying that Barendse's election is under a cloud is verry POV. The actual sittuation is described in the paragraph below it and a reader can decide if it is "under a cloud" or not themselves. Xtra 12:57, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I have it on good advice that Barendse did get Joyce's assurance and he believes Joyce dudded him. Mind you, your acusations against me seem fairly hypocritical to me given the fact that you are just reverting everything i do just for the sake of it. Xtra 14:08, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And why didn't you leave a note why you were doing it?

I've had this discussion before about schema-root.org

Wherever wikipedia editors have bothered to look at the schema-root.org page in question, they have decided to keep the schema-root.org link. You can read for yourself discussions which have already occurred concerning this very point. Schema-root.org is currently serving about 20,000 pages a day. Where else but schema-root.org are you going to find cross-referenced newsfeeds, a newsfeed archive, and a number of reference sites relevant to very specific topics? Good form would be for you to edit based upon merit and the resulting effect on Wikipedia page quality, in my opinion. John Tinker 16:47, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see comments from all of one editor, whom I disagree with. To the best of my knowledge, there's a bunch of sites that offer the same services, but I have no problem with schema-root links being added by people other than the site owner. Out of curiosity, has anyone other than you ever added schema-root links to Wikipedia? Ambi 16:56, 22 August 2005 (UTC)

I have never checked. It would be a simple matter to arrange for others to add links. It would seem a little silly. I think there are about 30 references to schema-root.org in Wikipedia subject pages. Your complaint is only the second one, as far as I know. Schema-root.org has about 7,000 topics total, each with with current and archived newsfeeds. So 30 out of a possible 7,000 is hardly spamming, I would say. And you have not yet made any comment about the quality of my site. Or responded to my contention that such should be the determining factor.

Do you have a reference, please?

Ambi, I'm not trying to annoy you, but could you find a reference for me somewhere that would support your "bad form" comment to me. I've been reading through the Wikipedia etiquette, and can't find any references to users not putting links to their own pages, if they provide useful content, are relevant and of good quality. If indeed this is to be a Wikipedia policy, perhaps it should be spelled out somewhere (if it is not currently). Thanks, John Tinker 20:49, 22 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]


Wikipedia_talk:Experimental_Deletion

Staying away from wikipolitics eh? ;-) Anyway, replied to you on the talk page. Basically, it's actually what it looks like, a project to do experiments. Things we learn can either be used to learn about mediawiki, improve vfd, or used to create new deletion systems. But that's all later. Kim Bruning 14:46, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, you weren't on IRC. What's worrying you? Kim Bruning 15:29, 23 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sydney suburbs

Thank you for your concern Ambi, but rest assured this is only the start. Living in the City of Blacktown for most of my life, I will strive to see these articles grow. BTW I'm glad to see that you have returned. -- Ianblair23 10:06, 24 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Consideration of Others

We have been discussing the rules editing on this page without your interferrance. It is inappropriate for you to simply jump in and revert work that has been compromised on. I have asked you to participate in the discussion of Bob Jones Universities rules before you revert the page. You have not done so. My earlier reverts on the topic were to my versions. My newest reverts are reverts to a compromised version of the page. I ask you to consider the facts before blindly inserting these rules again. They do not belong here any more than they belong in another school article. They are the "most interesting thing" to you, but that is your POV, not the POV of everyone. To remain neutral, I ask that you consider working within the boundaries of the compromise already reached. Thanks for your help. - Sleepnomore 05:57, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

3RR rule

I see that you are giving sleepnomore a pass on a 3RR rule violation, he has one outstanding on the 3RR reporting page, that he has already been given a pass on. He may get the idea that can do this routinely.--Silverback 06:20, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

If you are involved you should not block him yourself of course. Just document the violation on the 3RR page. What article did her vilation occur on?--Silverback 07:19, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

An election to win

Hi, Ambi, I'm glad to see you've come back, even if only on a limited basis. The more you do here, the better, but you're right to be sure to avoid burnout. Just out of curiosity, and not that it's any of my business, but what's the "election to win" that you mentioned? (And good luck with your law studies. In the U.S., at least, it's hardest at the beginning, then eases off.) JamesMLane 06:31, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Prior warning for user:Sleepnomore

user:Sleepnomore has been reported and warned recently.

Uh, welcome back. ;) -Willmcw 07:17, August 25, 2005 (UTC)

CSD on Atixive

Wow, talk about speedy! I considered CSD, but I'm ploughing through the deadend articles and am getting a tad impatient with the nonsense. So I decided to be conservative in case my impatience was corrupting my judgement. Next time I'll edit boldly! An admin can always say "No".

List of suburbs of Canberra

Hi Ambi, There's a proposal on Talk:List of suburbs of Canberra to roll the group centres into the suburbs they are located within. I thought you might be interested as you have had a bit to do with that page in the past. I don't have strong feelings on whether they're listed separately or together but have put my thoughts up for what its worth. Adz 11:00, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV?

I've replied to your comment on my talk page. Sam Vimes 16:34, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Vimes' POV

I notcied your comment about User:Sam Vimes on his talk page about POV in this article. The style he uses doesn't show POV for either side, and the language is highly descriptive. "The last batters did rather well in the last test" doesn't convey the infromation that "tail-end heroics from the last test" does. Isn't Wikipedia here to inform? Could you please elaborate on why it is POV. --Commander Keane 17:17, August 27, 2005 (UTC)

Avoidant Vandalism of Bob Jones University Page

Please stop editing the BJU page. This is considered Avoidant vandalism

Removing vfd, copyvio and other related tags in order to conceal or avoid entries to risk deletion.

Please stop adding nonsense to Wikipedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you.

- Sleepnomore 02:32, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Blanking Bob Jones University due to Copyright Violations conforms to the rules of Wikipedia. Please see: Wikipedia:Copyright_problems. Furthermore, removal of the copyright voilation tag is considered Avoidant Vandalism. Please do not engage in this activity. Thank you.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize pages, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.

- Sleepnomore 02:50, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Please do not continue this edit in violation of wikipedia policy. You are a good editor and I believe you are doing your best, but what you are doing is vandalism.

This is your last warning. The next time you vandalize a page you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. - Sleepnomore 02:58, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

I've done my best

I'm not making legal threats. I've followed wikipedia policy. I've attempted to resolve the issue with you and Willmc without success. I have no choice but to alert BJU and Wikipedia of the copyright voilation in accordance with Wikipedia:Copyright_problems. If you would like to return the page to a state that does not contain the listing of rules until you can think of another way to rewrite them, I'll be happy to remove the copyright as well. I understand of all the people who are trying to do the right thing, you are. HOwever, continued removal of the tags is a violation of the policy. I ask that you not do it again unless you intend to remove the offending content in the process. Thank you. - Sleepnomore 02:55, August 28, 2005 (UTC)


1903 by-election

Thanks. Fixed. Adam 03:18, 28 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sleepnomore

Ambi, I've got an email request from this user to be unblocked stating that he was merely trying to deal with copyright violations. Care to summarize your side of the story? Somehow I doubt it is as innocent as he sounds. Dragons flight 03:33, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Ambi, you can read my response at Talk:Bob Jones University and User talk:Sleepnomore, however, after it was pointed out that you restored the rules list to the BJU article 5 times in 24 hours, I felt compelled to 3RR block you as well. I hope you can enjoy your short holiday. Sorry. Dragons flight 05:53, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Empress

Ambi, my sincere apologies about the Empress Hotel comment. I can see it was nothing to do with you. Once again, I'm sorry, I'll be more careful in future. Regards, Canley 23:30, August 28, 2005 (UTC)

Ambi

I'm really glad to see you back. What can I say, when you consider someone a friend as I consider you, it just makes feel good to know that that person has returned. Tony the Marine 06:13, August 29, 2005 (UTC)

Page moves

Thank you Ambi for moving "Parramatta" to "Parramatta, New South Wales". Would it be possible also to move "Darlinghurst" to "Darlinghurst, New South Wales". Thanks -- Ianblair23 00:07, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Help please

Hi Ambi, Can you do me a favour and get really really angry about this? I'm feeling seriously threatened over it, and I'd like Wikipedia to be seen to take firm and immediate action. Drew Devereux | Talk 11:40, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
