Why am I being threatened with being banned for vandalism? I just edited a spelling error - correcting Ice cold beer's spelling of 'epsiode' with 'episode'. I thought the general public were allowed to contribute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.110.151.33 (talk) 12:47, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Are you talking of a ban from 10 months ago? For this edit or perhaps this one ? --triwbe (talk) 16:43, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

facts are verified . That is enough.

JRN08 (talk) 14:21, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

On Arvind S. Nadkarni, Where are they verified? All facts must be verifiable by anyone who wishes to. There are zero references given and as such the article is incomplete. --triwbe (talk) 17:04, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for that vandalism reversion. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:00, 25 December 2008 (UTC)

This is a stub and has been verified.

Have you given 24.150.133.106 (talk · contribs) a free pass to continue to commit vandalism? Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 23:48, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Good grief! are you serious? see User talk:Triwbe#Re: cities of China. --triwbe (talk) 23:55, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

He tried to claim that you told him his edits were good. He's been blocked, anyway. Little Red Riding Hoodtalk 00:01, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

I think the fact that I gave him a level 2 and a level 3 warning should be clear enough of what I thought of his edits. --triwbe (talk) 00:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC)

This is a great website and I understand your need for totally reliable informations. But it's not always easy to retrieve the references and proofs (often lost in a bundle of archives). So please leave us a little time! Many thanksFilmbuffcalifornia (talk) 17:23, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

If it's one one of the pages tagged as needing refs, I always leave months. If it is a page I have redirected or WP:PROD!ed then months will have passed but you can undo the action when refs are avialable. For the instance of Tony Maylam, I think there must be some references out there somewhere, so I will not be touching that one. --triwbe (talk) 17:47, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

...but there wasn't anything there beyond a single sentence not much longer than what I'm writing now. I can put it back and we'll see what develops. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 16:46, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Triwbe, left a message for you on the Fitzpatrick discussion page as follows (save you going there): Oh, sorry, completely forgot the tildes. Yes, good idea, will add an under construction notice. In any event have now added loads more links and sources, and am in process of converting several pdf's (reliable sources) although this might take me a day or two, so please be patient :-) AndreaUKA (talk) 13:37, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Triwbe, have answered you on my talkpage - AndreaUKA (talk) 18:56, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

...and yet another reply...AndreaUKA (talk) 21:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Triwbe, your help is hugely appreciated on this. Oh, am away Fri - Mon, please don't delete anything meanwhile, am in process of sorting out lots more :-) AndreaUKA (talk) 22:18, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I will not delete anything. But you have every right to undo my (or any one elses) edits at any time if you do not agree. C U later. --triwbe (talk) 22:23, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

I know, and I occasionally do, but only if I truly believe I am correct. I was jesting re deletion, the article stands up now, I think, but thanks again anyway :-) AndreaUKA (talk) 22:32, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello Triwbe. I've attempted to improve the Roxy Bernstein article issues. I'm new to this, so I'd appreciate any constructive feedback on the article's discussion page. Also, if I've addressed your concerns, would you be kind enough to remove the tags on the article? Thanks EddieAlbania (talk) 04:26, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

OK I cleanup the refs a bit and added categoreis and projects. --triwbe (talk) 08:02, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Respect for this edit to the above's talkpage, especially the last sentence. It was, however, wasted on the individual concerned. LessHeard vanU (talk) 12:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

It may be many things, but it is not a stub. Advertorial, incomplete, orphan, uncat, yes, but please tell me why you think it is a stub? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

IMO anything that does not attain FA FL A GA B C D or start class is a stub. Do you think it rates start ? --Triwbe (talk) 14:28, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I think it rates deletion! Equally what else could go in there? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:33, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh I agree, it's practically on the point of a speedy deletion (it was I who flagged the company for speedy), but there's no harm alerting others who may be able to save it. Mind you, I looked for better refs and well ....... --Triwbe (talk) 14:36, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Me too. There's a load of gossipy stuff. It's a pretty decent suicide nut kind of car, loads of scope to have great fun in it, but notable? Fiddle Faddle (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

That leads on to many of the cars in Kit car#United Kingdom. Many of those are in the same category. In a way I like some of them (as articles) especially the cars/companies that no longer exist. I think it makes wikipedia better with no risk of being commercial in nature. But, as the article says, in the UK practically anyone can set themselves up as a kit car company, so where does one draw the line ? --Triwbe (talk) 15:07, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I've removed the PROD notice on this article, because a previous proposal to delete was contested. You will need to nominate the article through the full WP:AFD process.CJPargeter (talk) 10:04, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Added reference to the death, which appears to be the reason for the prod. The article needs work, and honestly, if were to go to AfD, I'd go weak keep. From what little there is out there, dude seemed to have a decent degree of notability in Turkey (but since all this happened before the web really blew up, there will be fewer refs anyway), but I think at some point there may be an article there. OK, enough rambling. I'm tired right now, so I won't make a decision tonight to contest the prod. If you feel very strongly about it, though, let me know.

Vulture19 (talk) 04:19, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

That's great. I proded because saying people are dead, with out references, is a huge risk ( see Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2009-01-24/Flagged_Revisions. I removed the prod. --Triwbe (talk) 06:10, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Glad to know the whole process can still be civil. I may watch the page and possibly do some work....Vulture19 (talk) 14:51, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi – I've just nominated Alex bastin for speedy deletion. I noticed you gave the author a final warning before they did this – presumably the previous page was an attack. The current page is tagged for notability – there seems to be no defamatory content – but I though I'd give you a heads-up as you issued the warning. Cheers. Cycle~ (talk) 12:37, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Hiya Triwbe. You and User:Calltech apparently disagree about this article, judging from the edit summaries. I've told Calltech that it wouldn't bother me at all if someone wants to take this to AfD. I speedied the related article which involved a product they were selling. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 21:25, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Triwbe - I have questions relating to a discussion on Dick Clark Architecture On the COI it states that the article may need a clean-up. Can you tell me what is on there that violates neutrality? or how it can be fixed? I feel stuck - I feel like the article is neutral and adds content - I want to play by the rules and have received messages from other administrators, to continue excited by the post - including the one who started this article. I would also like to write additional articles of similar content. But I feel that you want me to stop. I don't want to get articles I write or contribute to blacklisted as the article you posted suggested, because I feel that the articles do contribute, especially when I read other articles with similar subjects. It actually seems to be an area that could be furthered in wikipedia for data sharing and research on contemporary architecture. This is a difficult thing to research when you are in school as there is only one real database called the Avery Index of Architectural Journals. But most of these journals are not web based and schools of architecture only have limited selection. I am an adjunct faculty member teaching graduate studio in architecture and know that the students value the research capabilities of wikipedia. When I read the wikipedia policies i get conflicting information and am truly unsure how to proceed - sometimes it says that everyone should be allowed to contribute as long as it stays neutral and furthers wikipedia's content, but that if you know about the subject intimately it may be a conflict of interest to write. Please tell me what you would have me do to rectify the situation. Additionally does being a professor in a field cause a conflict of interest in writing about that field? If you could direct me to other wikipedia policies that I can read that would be helpful as well. thank you for your help. 9 ACRE (talk) 15:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the guidance.I am very very new on Wikipedia you helped me very much, really thanks.Abbatai (talk) 12:25, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Why did you delete the Made of Hate page I made? Made of Hate is a Polish melodic death metal band and it is important for all the fans out there to have a wikipedia reference page about their band. I beleive I even posted tunings on the page as a reference for guitar players who want to attempt at learning their songs. Why did you do that? Are you prejudice against death metal or something? Or did I not do something right when making the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.165.244.176 (talk) 04:25, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

I did not, in-fact, cannot, delete anything. Made of Hate appears to have been deleted by User:Stwalkerster

22:58, 6 September 2008 Stwalkerster (Talk | contribs) deleted "Made of Hate" 
(Article about an a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble, which does not assert notability (CSD A7))

But it looks as though the band was simply not notable enough (See WP:BAND). Also Wikipeida is not a how to book to show people how to play, try doing that on myspace. See Wikipedia:Your first article and make sure you get sources to show the notability of the band. --Triwbe (talk) 06:34, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Response: Please feel free to delete this article. My goal was to create an umbrella page for all the tourist sites in Egypt - was not aware that this went against wikipedia policy. Mlavannis (talk) 22:14, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

I just wanted to say that I've noted your vigilance especially in connection to Indian pop culture articles, and it's appreciated. :) --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 16:15, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, your appreciation is equally appreciated. It's a pity these editors do not seem to realise that CV degrades their articles and does an injustice to those who have made the effort to rewrite their texts. --Triwbe (talk) 16:44, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

I am an intern at the Idaho Meth Project and they wanted me to start a Wikipedia page, and they told me I could literally use all the content from their website for the Wikipedia page. I am new to Wikipedia and I was wondering how I can use their content since I got their permission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sben87 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

It needed doing. It seems to be a vandalism only account. --Triwbe (talk) 14:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I see you've contributed to the following article I've proposed for deletion, you may want to take a look. In fact, I see from your talk page it might have previously been proposed which might change things. I'm unfamiliar with the intracity of WP workings so you might want to intervene if I've acted in error.

Let the PROD run and see what happens. --Triwbe (talk) 18:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article MineWolf, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 91.85.138.20 (talk) 17:44, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
