User:8bitJake

The problem continues, with a seventh and eighth revert, notwithstanding your warning. -- FRCP11 16:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

User:8bitJake has now been blocked for contravention of the three revert rule. Kcordina ^Talk 19:02, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

He's now polluting the article with dozens of tiny edits of POV language utterly inappropriate for Wikipedia. Help? -- FRCP11 19:54, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

NB also his deletion of his disciplinary record. -- FRCP11 20:24, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

They have been blocked again by another admin, I'll try and keep an eye on them. Kcordina ^Talk 07:44, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

User:216.56.35.6 Had already been test 4'd today. Should I have started over with a lower number?? Cheers, 14:33, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I've looked back at the talk page and it must have been me having a stupid moment. There is, of course, a progression of warnings. I think when I looked at the page before blocking them, the last entry on the page was under the 'June 2006' header, and I didn't look above it for the final warning - the second test4 must have appeared between me looking and going back and noting the block. Ho hum, I shall be more observant in future. Kcordina ^Talk 15:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Morton International

You're going to merge the content as well as the title, correct? Badagnani 08:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

As far as I can see I did merge the only bit of content that wasn't already there, namely the existence of a sister company in Canada. If I've missed something, please add it in. Kcordina ^Talk 08:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

About the block, it was a typo. — Ravikiran 13:33, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Green Party of Canada ldeology Label

I'm a member of the Green Party I agree the label "Eco-Capitalist" is incorrect - AS yet the Green Party can't be defined, as it is still in it's formative stages. The roots of the party are Eco in nature, but it is now becoming more urban - adopting issues like education, transportation, housing - issues immediately affecting peoples' lives. Social justice and sustainability are new umbrella themes emerging as the party finds its identity and purpose.

Capitalist is also not accurate because many policies of the Green Party would reign in corporate influence in all issues mentioned here. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.84.44.112 (talk • contribs)

Vandalism to Gary Lightbody and Colin MacIntyre

Hi, regarding your decision not to block User:VoodooVengence and User:StupidMason. These accounts may only have made a few edits, but they are clearly vandalism only accounts. The second one is a personal attack on me.

Other accounts set up in the last week (most probably by the same person) to vandalise these articles are: User:Stumasson, User:Thegoldengirlwiththepinkone, User:GeorgeBiscuit and User:TheMangoInTheTango. All of these were subsequently blocked indefinitely. The vandal's original account was User:RichardKnob.

Please check the history of the two articles and reconsider. Cheers. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 11:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Cheers for the added detail, I clearly hadn't looked closely enough. Both accounts have now been blocked indefinitely. Kcordina ^Talk 11:44, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for that. I suspect he/she will be back vandalising with a new account soon enough though! Is there sufficient vandalism to request protection? Even for long enough to put them off? Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 11:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Spoke too soon! [1]. Stu ^{’Bout ye!} 11:57, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I've protected Gary Lightbody from edits by new users. I'll give it a while and then remove the protection to see if they resurface. I've also blocked the newest account. Kcordina ^Talk 12:30, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Blue Panther

Hi, there. I come to you since you are active in WP:AN3. There is a problem concerning a self-proclaimed marketing team who is reverting the Blue Panther article, an article currently about a wrestler, to one about a woman named Suzie Kassem. However, the article about Suzie Kassem was deleted for being non-notable (see the talk discussion at talk:Blue Panther.) People have tried convincing a member of the marketting team, User talk:Far2steep that his actions of reverting the page are not moving matters forward at all, and yet he persists. The reversions aren't constant, so they aren't a place for WP:AN3 and they aren't too frequent to warrant a visit to WP:RFP. So, I came here to get your take on the matter about what should be done. Thanks. Cowman109^Talk 16:37, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. I'll take a while to review the history and get back with some suggestions. I'm sure we can work something out. Kcordina ^Talk 11:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

I've had a look through the history, and I agree with you - it's a pretty clear case. The page should be about the wrestler. I have left a fairly strongly worded message on the article talk page, and a final warning about reverting on the talk page of the recent editor. Hopefully this will nudge them into discussing matters, but if not I am happy to be firmer. I'll try and keep and eye on things, but if I miss something, please drop me a message here and I'll take a look. Kcordina ^Talk 11:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help! I will notify you if anything pops up. Cowman109^Talk 22:10, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Why'd you undelete "Bonza Bottler Day" and please repost this updated article

Dear Kcordina:

Greetings, and Happy Bonza Bottler Day!

I posted the above-referenced article on Wikipedia in May. As today is 06/06/06 - a Bodacious Bonza Bottler Day, - I sought to update it to reflect additional details provided by the holiday founder's sister (Gail Berger) and close friend Debbie Knebel, who were thrilled with what I had contributed. However, I was unpleasantly surprised to find that all traces of the article had been deleted. I would greatly appreciate learning the reason for the deletion, and more importantly, why and what changes I must make in order to properly repost the article. I apologize if I violated any rules and view this as a teachable moment. I would like repost the article ASAP, preferably today.

I have taken the liberty of enclosing the updated version, which was co-written by Gail and me. I will also post a copy of this message with Kcordina, who deleted the article. I eagerly await Wikipedia's response and instructions for reposting. Please response at ltolliver_AT_360meridian.com. (To email me, replace "_AT_" with @.)

TITLE: Bonza Bottler Day CO-AUTHORS: Gail Berger and Lisa Tolliver CONTENT: A Bonza Bottler Day is celebrated once a month when the number of the month coincides with the number of the day (Jan. 1, Feb.2, March 3, etc.). When the number of the year also coincides with the number of the day and month (June 6, 2006) or a Bonza Bottler Day falls on an already established holiday (such as Jan. 1 – New Year’s Day), there is reason to have a bigger celebration (more food, more friends and more decorations). We call this a Bodacious Bonza Bottler Day. Bodacious means “extraordinary, impressively great in size, or enormous.” A baby born on a Bonza Bottler Day is known as a Bonza Bottler Baby which makes those birthday celebrations doubly special Bonza Bottler Day was created by Elaine Fremont in 1985 when she realized there were no special occasions to celebrate one month. She decided to give herself a reason to have a party and some fun with this special day every month. Ms. Fremont held a contest to name the day, which a student from Australia won. When Australians like something, they might exclaim, "Bonzer" or “Bonza!” which means “super,” “great,” or “fantastic.” “Bottler” is slang for “something excellent.” Thus, the celebration each month is now known as Bonza Bottler Day, which was first officially celebrated on August 8, 1985. The proper way to celebrate is with a party, but if that is not possible, a person should at least wish other people a “Happy Bonza Bottler Day.” People in offices, schools, etc., bring food to work to share. College students in dorms have lots of fun with this day. This has also become a big hit with early morning disc jockeys who love to wake people up with “Happy Bonza Bottler Day!” The day gives people in nursing homes something to celebrate every month. Religious organizations, church youth groups, schools, colleges, civic centers, offices, and individuals from around the world, as well as some of the divisions of the U.S. armed forces, are now celebrating Bonza Bottler Day, according to our correspondence. Bonza Bottler Day is a favorite with many school classrooms because it provides a break in routine for the students and teachers. Many people eat at their favorite restaurants on Bonza Bottler Day when they haven’t planned a party. We know that it is becoming internationally celebrated because we receive calls, letters and e-mails from people around the world. Some groups are even forming Bonza Bottler Day clubs. The mascot is a dancing groundhog (which has for many years celebrated on Feb. 2) that is strewing confetti and laughing amid the words, “I Celebrate Bonza Bottler Day.” Unfortunately, the founder of Bonza Bottler Day, Elaine Fremont, died in a car accident on April 8, 1995 at the age of 43. For ten years, she celebrated every Bonza Bottler day with her friends. Her sister, Gail Berger, now sponsors Bonza Bottler Day.

Furthermore, I have updated my original Wikipedia posting to incorporate information that was sent to me by the friend and sister of the Bonza Bottler Day founder. Please post my updated article ASAP or provide instructions so that I may do so.

Thank you.

Hi. I deleted the article as it contained the same material as at the cited web-page. Please see WP:CP for details of wikipedias copyright policy. The article had been tagged with the copyvio template for 7 days, and since no action had been taken to prepare a version that did not infringe copyright, the article was deleted. I appreciate that you may well own the copyright of the article, but unless the articles web page is licensed under the GFDL licence it cannot be used on wikipedia. It looks like the version you've posted above is new for wikipedia, so go ahead and recreate the article with that new content. It's better you create it as then the editors will be listed as you, rather than me. If you need any help, just ask. Kcordina ^Talk 15:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

shouting on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

Sorry about that. the dbase I use here at work uses CAPS only, and right after I had reverted the vandalism, it was vandalized repeatedly, so I typed as fast as possible. Did not mean to shout. Also, my perceived delay may have also been due to connectivity problems we've been having all day. Sorry again. :-) - CobaltBlueTony 16:18, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

"patents article"

I didn't mean to run off at the mouth so much re PCT - except that I've corrected a wrong description of the European system 2 or 3 times, and hoped that by explaining it in more depth I'd put a stop to the wrong edits!

Getting enough detail in there to be accurate (and, as you say, stop it wondering away from being accurate over time) without being too long is really difficult, and in fact, probably impossible. Lets ponder it over time and see how it develops. (BTW, when leaving notes on talk pages, "sign" then by adding for tildas ~~~~ to the end - that adds your login and the time of the note. Just like this: Kcordina ^Talk 08:24, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Blue Panther again

Hello again. While User:Far2steep has stopped reverting the Blue Panther article to that which describes Suzie Kassem, the IP address (see page history) in the range of 68.164.xxx.xx and 68.167continues blanking the page. I'm not sure if the IP is a sockpuppet of Far2steep, but I am assuming that this returning IP address is at least a member of the marketing team whose intent is to advertise Suzie Kassem.

Some of the IPs used just for reference: 68.164.232.89, 68.164.66.222, 68.167.7.136, 68.164.68.5, 68.164.51.2, 68.164.55.114, 68.164.135.36, 68.164.68.14.

If you believe action should be taken, a range block would clearly be necessary, but I just came here to inform you that there is still a problem at Blue Panther. It's simple enough to revert the blanking every day or so, but from the looks of it, things aren't getting anywhere, so I came back to you. Thanks for your help. Cowman109^Talk 21:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

What a pain in the backside! Tricky one to deal with really - the IPs are a long way apart so there's likely to be a lot of collateral damage by blocked them. For now, I've semi-protected the article to stop unregistered or new users from editing it. This will stop the immediate problem and force any more vandalism to come from accounts which can be more easily blocked. We shouldn't leave the protection there for too long, so lets give it a while and remove it quietly and see if the matter goes away. Hope this helps! Kcordina ^Talk 08:06, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! Hopefully this will make the IP step forward and explain their grudge against the page so they can finally be communicated with. Cowman109^Talk 14:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Leurbost Article

Hi, I noticed the other day that the Leurbost article was a copyright violation, so I wrote a new one on the Leurbost/Temp page and noted as such on the Talk:Leurbost page.

Speedy deletion of Kyoko Aizome

Hi, Kcordina. The user (Hong Qi Gong) trying to delete the Kyoko Aizome appears to be making a project of censoring Wikipedia. He has already deleted an extensive, and long-lived List of Japanese female porn stars.

He's using intellectually dishonest reasoning for doing so, e.g. claiming that any item on a list that does not have an article is not worth listing, and then deleting the list because it is simply a list of articles (i.e. a category), and then deleting the articles by claiming a Japanese actress is not notable by using American sources.

I think there's obviously an agenda to shape Wikipedia to a certain POV behind these actions, and it is certainly in violation of many Wikipedia standards, including Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia and Wikipedia is not censored. -- Dekkappai 15:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I initially thought that this case was orphaned as it had never been added to the main page of WP:TINMC, and so added it to the main page of WP:TINMC and WP:TINMC/O. I then went to User talk:Lenin & McCarthy to tell him of this and saw that you had taken on the role of mediator there, and reverted myself. It's still quite confusing, though - could you add the case to the "Cases in mediation" bit if you have actually taken it? --Sam Blanning^(talk) 23:08, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Why did you delete Cindy Chavez page?

This was a factual page about an important political figure in America's 10th largest city. Every fact is absolutely accurate and verifiable. It was original writing and violates no copyrights. I am knowledgeable about this subject and invested a lot of time to make a meaningful contribution to Wikipedia. Please explain this decision. I would appreciate reconsideration and restoration of this piece, which will, I assure you, meet the community test. Thanks.

You have to permission to use the content you blocked for the Sigma Alpha Mu page. There is no conflict. I cannot see why you took it upon yourself to block access to the page. If you will not restore access to it then you are simply acting to reduce the amount of information available to wikipedians and are doing us all a great disservice. If you want to confirm this you may call the head office and we will speak to you if need be. Ask for Bill or Phyllis. Many authors put their time into that article - please restore it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 192.116.237.69 (talk • contribs) .

Sigma Alpha Mu Copyvio

Hello

According to the history of the article "Sigma Alpha Mu" you flagged the article as violating copywrites. As a member of Sigma Alpha Mu fraternity I originally started the "Sigma Alpha Mu" page and have enjoyed watching it's progression from a stub to a full article and request that the article be restored.

The whole article does not violate copywrites, the only section in question of violation is the history section of the article where it appears someone copied and pasted from [2]. This history section is published in the "Candidates Handbook" of Sigma Alpha Mu (informally called "The Purple Book"), inside of which is a line that expressly states that the information is not secretive and can be openly shared with others. The Sigma Alpha Mu article is in-line with other Fraternity and Sorority articles such as "Kappa Delta Rho" and "Sigma Nu" which also appear to quote from their history from other sources. This argument and others can be seen on the talk page of Sigma Alpha Mu which I ask you to view.

I do feel that the history section of "Sigma Alpha Mu" should be edited but not because of copywrite violations but instead because the section is written as a story instead of a history. I hope with your power as an administrator you can unflag the article "Sigma Alpha Mu" as being in violation of copywrites and let people edit it to become a more proper article. If you cannot can remove the copywrite flag yourself can you please give me instructions on how I can go about unflagging the article.

Thank you -Greg Santiago, Member Sigma Alpha Mu Fraternity
