Mousesports

Hello, I looked at several articles about teams in the G7 Teams, and many of them have had trolls go after them, looking for deletion and merging with G7 Teams. I face a similar problem, because I sucessfully prevented a vandal Wikipedia user called TheRedPenOfDoom from convincing the administrators to delete the Mousesports page. Obviously, he doesn't just quit and he's now requesting it be merged with the G7 Teams page, just as the other teams have been requested in the past. Since you've contributed to this in the past, I was wondering whether or not you might like to comment on it in the Discussion page? I know you are more interested in military history, but I need a little bit of help, that's all. DarthBotto _talk•cont 13:08, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Discussion regarding Zachary Taylor

From the history of the article on Zachary Taylor, you appear to be a notable contributor to it. As a result, I thought you might like to get involved in a discussion I have started on the talk page concerning a proposal to change the main picture in the infobox: [1] If you do get involved, thank you.

AfD nomination of Cyberathlete Professional League

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Cyberathlete Professional League. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cyberathlete Professional League. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:13, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

communicat dispute

Thanks your offer to fix dubious sources, parity sourcing. You'll be wasting your time if you try uploading any marxist and/or left=leaning sources to balance POV in line with rules. This is a long story, going way back, and it also includes an AFD'd WW2-related article. The conservative milhist Old Guard at WW2 article are and have for a long time been very well entrenched, and they defend "their" ideologically clouded territory with every means possible against intruders with new ideas or ideas that deviate from the conservative mainstream. Have a look at the various threads, particularly under headings: WW2 origins of Cold War, Flawed Overview, Editing Dispute, Anti-Communist prejudice, Communist-led Resistance, etc. You will see that I took a lot of time and trouble to provide Soviet / Marxist / Western revisionist sources to support proposed edits and discussion. Those sources were instantly and rudely dismissed and rejected by the Old Guard, using stupid false pretexts like "can't be found", meaning presumably can't be found on internet, and too much trouble to visit any good university reference library.

Between the Lies is relevant only indirectly and to the extent that it provides a useful example of how just one apparently revisionist / leftleaning proposed link will come under very intense scrutiny and vetting for reliability etc, whereas clearly unreliable and/or biased mainstream sources are allowed to pass unchallenged and without scrutiny.

A clear and binding ruling must now first be obtained from wiki via mediation/arbitration before anyone wastes anymore time or effort (as I already have) trying to balance edits objectively and in line with stated policy.

If you really want to obtain that Winer book, why not just download it free of charge from the internet? More than two million interested parties have gone that route so far, as I've learnt through correspondence with Coldtype.net and others while doing research for a print-media article about free e-book downloads. You'll even find a pirated Chinese Mandarin translated online edition if you try hard enough.

Thnaks for your interest. Communicat (talk) 13:38, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

brutal korea apology

Sorry, I've figured out now what happened. I was working from a hardcopy that I'd printed out a few days earlier, without realising that the two refs had in the meantime been changed by someone for some strange reason by joining two the refs together. In short, my hardcopy was different from your onscreen version. Hence we were literally not on the same page. I can see now that one has to check for the very latest online version of anything before jumping to false conclusions. Learning curve. Communicat (talk) 00:17, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, your apologoy is greatly appreciated. Wikipedia does take some getting used to. --Habap (talk) 01:36, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

Yawn

You are such a bore. How come those who seem to do the least actual editing are usually the very same ones who are most vocal and/or caustic in their ongoing bids to discredit me? Communicat (talk) 18:39, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
