Daddy Kindsoul has violated his revert parole
Under a case you saw out, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Deathrocker User: Daddy Kindsoul was limited to one revert per day, 2 per week and 3 per month per article. In the past week (September 10-17) he has reverted the NOFX page three times.[1][2][3] Hoponpop69 02:57, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Genesis
Just saw the quote from Suppers Ready at the top of your page - an excellent song and an excellent choice. I see from the page with the albums you like you have some Porcupine Tree but none of their earlier stuff. Is that because you don't like it or haven't heard it? If its the latter may I recommend "Stupid Dream" to start with? Kelpin 17:04, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
Hello
Just dropping by :) Nice blue flamingo. ♥ ]
Malta vote
How can it be verifiable when it's just the head of delegation's opinion, he knows nothing about what we voted for and nothing about how Malta voted, he was just guessing that's why, as if the whole country would vote in protest or even the majority, the majority of people who voted in the U.k last Scooch 53 or 73 whatever against Cyndi in final, now with many brits living Malta couldn't it be they liked the song aswell, to say it's a protest vote is just one man's guess on a website.
We were on holiday there at the time and when me and my twin voted I can't seem to remember us voting in protest, just for the song's we liked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axel8 (talk • contribs) 22:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
On a seperate point even if you insist 23rd(even though tied 22nd is the real position as the tie brake doesn't mention anything below 10) 42 countries competed not just 24 in the final, it should read "finishing tied 22nd out of 42 nations competing over the final and semi-final.--Axel8 22:49, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
So if you're saying you believe that Malta fixed the vote than that would make sense but shouldn't this be sourced, i think so. Speaking to many people in Malta they voted for the song. Also you failed to answer my question about 42 nations competing not 22.
Also may I ask why, whenever I to put the article in a more neutral view you immediately shout VANDALISM and acctually try and report it. You may not like the group but doing all in your power to make the group look bad isn't fair. --Axel8 17:57, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
You can't make the pages take any biased view which at the moment the way you word it is very negative.--Demyx9 18:04, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
p.s An admin, who is a friend of ours, said I should point out I'm Axel's twin otherwise people like you start examining the rule book until you can find something to hold against us.
- Hmmm, what I said was make sure that editors are advised you are twins so that the wrong conclusion does not occur...(I also suggested remembering to sign your posts!) However, Sceptre, I would comment that it is inappropriate to claim vandalism over good faith edits - these guys are pretty new to WP and WP:BITE applies. I would request that you discuss the reverts with the twins (I generally copy everything I send to one to the other, and all the replies too) and possibly include User:Arcayne who is familiar with both the twins and the subject. Please AGF and be CIVIL. Thanks, and happy editing. LessHeard vanU 19:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Heya, I just got back from playing in the mud today. Might I ask where the specific points of contention are occurring, please? About marking edits as vandalism, that seems a bit on the non-AGF side; I know the lads are a bit on the edgy side, but vandalism seems a bit over the line. If they are uncivil, say so, as they seem to be fairly reasonable - as I am sure you are as well, judging from all the stars you have at the top of your page. Let's sort this out. :) - Arcayne (cast a spell) 20:49, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comment at my talkpage and, which also helps Arcaynes request above, I would note the two revisions of Flying the Flag (for You) which mentions vandalism as these two. Upon review I realise that they are Twinkle reverts with (what I presume to be) a standardised edit summary, so I am certain that the claim of vandalism was unintended. Of course, given as the twins are pretty new to this, it should be realised that they may not be familiar with Twinkle and assume that what is written is what is meant. Is there a way of amending the edit summary? In the meanwhile I confirm that there is no suggestion that you intended to term them or their edits as vandals/ism. LessHeard vanU 22:00, 22 September 2007 (UTC)]
- Dude, I've been at this for over a year, and I've never heard of it. It's a bot, right? Perhasp the bot can be re-tasked in such a way that it doesn't call differing edits vandalism. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 06:08, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
re User:Axel8
I have now warned this editor. I request that you continue your present softly softly approach. Thanks. LessHeard vanU 16:46, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Um... Did you post on my talkpage, rather than User talk:Axel8, or where you responding to A8's comments on my talkpage? LessHeard vanU 20:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding Consensus
I was just looking at
In late December last year several editors, including me, reached consensus that certain information shouldn't be included in an article because it wasn't notable enough for inclusion. Just recently another editor tried to add the information to the article. I reverted his edits and left a message on his talk page about consensus and directed him to the discussion the article's talk page. His response was to immediately revert the changes and justifies it by claiming that we came to consensus for the wrong reason (notability). I've since directed him to

Many thanks for your response. I didn't think I was crazy. Now I have to work out what to do next.

Thanks for correcting the Revenge of the Slitheen entry. I put August because the schools go back in August in Scotland.

What's your basis for [4]? ΔιγυρενΕμπροσ! 18:08, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- The categories were caused by short-lived vandalism of the tag abuse type, and have been taken care of. What is the appropriate way to proceed? ΔιγυρενΕμπροσ! 18:55, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
- No, there was nothing suspicious. The accusations are baseless, and by putting a deadline to backing them up with actual evidence, I hope to get that accepted as the consensus.
- I will, however, proceed to renominate the article for another review. It's considerably improved after the last review, thanks to ]

Duplicate AFD you put up
Hi. I just thought Id let you know that I have removed the following duplicate AFD you posted, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Janet Jackson's 10th studio album. An AFD for the same article was still open before you put it up for AFD. If I have made a mistake by removing this AFD, I do apologise. Thanks. Tbo 157(talk) (review) 16:55, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
If I May Ask...
Please don't take my words offensively, but WHY IN THE BLUE HELL did you nominate Children of Bodom's 6th Studio Album for deletion based upon "crystal ball?" How can it be a crystal ball if there is a sourcable link right there on the page itself, that you can click on and find all the info in firsthand terms? There's new info on it all the time, and it is going to be released. I just want to know what your motives were. Please respond to me, unlike the vast majority of Wikipedians who never say anything back. Prove to me you're different. Dark Executioner 21:21, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Dark Executioner
But the song "Tie My Rope" is out now. That's new. This isn't a band wwho waits 11 centuries to make a new album like GNR. It's gonna happen, dude. Disagree with me as much as you like. Oh, and you didn't tell me WHY you nominated it, like I clearly asked you to. But, I do appreciate your response. I'm getting off the computer now, so I'll get back to you as soon as possible. Dark Executioner 21:42, 1 October 2007 (UTC)Dark Executioner
Replying to your statement of "some bands release a single but no album": 7 of the 10 songs for COB's new album have been recorded according to scythes-of-bodom.net. Just letting you know, y'know... The album is coming out, and it needs a page. Dark Executioner 14:35, 3 October 2007 (UTC)Dark Executioner

Requests for an Admin Coach
Hello Will. I was looking through a list of users that participate in the aforementioned project. I was wondering if you would consider being my admin coach, and if not, there are plenty other users for you to choose from. Wishing you well!

RE: User:Grande13
OK. I wanted to warn him further, which I have done. I will keep an eye on his edits and if he does it again, I will have to block. With regards to the other(none AFD removal) edits, do you think that the two of you can work something out? TigerShark 22:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- Why? Lots of user do that. I can see that this could be causing you frustration, but I think that this could be resolved. Cheers TigerShark 22:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
- OK, that doesn't mean that you can't discuss and come to an agreement, it just means that agreement can't violate WP:OR. I don't know if you will be able to reach an agreement, I am just suggesting that you try. However, I am not aware of the full history here, so it may well be that you or other have tried. I have made it clear to the user that the removal of AFD notices and the 3RR violation have to stop right now, so hopefully things will calm down. I will keep an eye on the situation.
