We need to get an admin to block this guy, all of his edits have bee vandalism. Philipmj24 (talk) 17:03, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Not strictly true, actually. User:Sillyfolkboy managed to track down one (1) edit - under a previous IP - that wasn't vandalism! Sideways713 (talk) 17:09, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello S. Thanks for catching my edit summary and adding the correct template to the Six Weeks article. I've copied it to my handy dandy sand box for future usage. I appreciate your attention to detail and your time. Thanks again and cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 01:10, 3 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The WikiProject Report would like to focus on WikiProject Athletics for a Signpost article scheduled to coincide with this summer's European Athletics Championships. The article about WikiProject Athletics would serve as the beginning of a special "Summer Sports Series", giving you an excellent opportunity to draw attention to the project's efforts and attract new members. Would you be willing to participate in an interview? If so, here are the questions for the interview. Just add your response below each question and feel free to skip any questions that you don't feel comfortable answering. Multiple editors will have an opportunity to respond to the interview questions, so be sure to sign your answers. If you know anyone else who would like to participate in the interview, please share this with them. Have a great day. -Mabeenot (talk) 04:10, 6 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for cleaning up my userpage. Vandals are weird. Best,

At least this one didn't delete references. Quite the opposite, in fact :) Sideways713 (talk) 20:56, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited MSP Solai Nadar Memorial Higher Secondary school, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Handball (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

This edit of Ryulong[1] and related edit comment is really misguided. The discussion on the talk page had resolved the issue. The fact that Ryulong reverted my edit without even leaving a note on the talk page but instead requesting protection is most improper, nor do I understand why the seconded Ryulong's request for full protection.

User:Incnis Mrsi reported the problem of IP disruption at this thread. I subsequently report the issue here and the page was semi-protected. I then reverted this disruptive IP. The book State Succession to International Responsibility by Patrick Dumberry published in 2007 summarises the current mainstream view on page 151:

"The question whether the break-up of the U.S.S.R. should be regarded as a case of State dissolution or rather a series of secessions is also controversial. The only non-controversial point is that the three Baltic States are regarded not as new States (and not as successor States of the U.S.S.R.) but as identical to the three Baltic States that existed before their 1940 illegal annexation by the U.S.S.R."

I think with that definitive summary we can conclude that the mainstream view is that the Baltic states were not successor states, since the author clearly states there is no controversy in that view, i.e. it is not contested in scholarly literature. Therefore, the Baltic states, which left the Soviet Union three months before it was dissolved, is improperly included as successor states in the inbox. Note that only four republics are listed as predecessors and 12 should be listed as successors, as any RS will show. --Nug (talk) 11:04, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

If all reliable sources do indeed support you, it should be easy for you to establish a talk page consensus; as of now, though, despite your claims the issue clearly hasn't been resolved. As for fully protecting the page, if there's an edit war under way involving both IPs and non-IPs then full protection is much more appropriate than semi-protection. Per

not vandalism. Sideways713 (talk) 11:35, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply

Indeed the discussion has been dormant for nearly two weeks, indicating that no one has been able to refute the sources presented, the disruptive IP was not contributing to the discussion, User:Incnis Mrsi who initially opposed the edit in discussions finally implicitly agreed when he also reverted the IP, thereby showing that consensus has been achieved. The only other opposing editor User:GoodDay was site banned for disruptive behaviour in East European topics, and I wouldn't be surprised if this IP was him. --Nug (talk) 11:42, 29 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for helping. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:45, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No problem :) Not sure I'd have tagged it for speedy myself, actually; an {{advert}} template might have been sufficient. Sideways713 (talk) 10:52, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

once again thanks for helping. A little bit goes a long way. The creator of that article is a blocked sockpuppetter [[2]], part of a blatent attempt to use Wikipedia for promotion. Fight spam overtaking. Every little bit counts. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:57, 30 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for catching my error at Niels. Cheers,  Yintan  12:13, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for mistaking your intent. It looked to me (after your edit) that the article included Part II in the summary but not Part I, which made me think material was still being arbitrarily removed. But I see I somehow misread the difference page. Once again, my apologies. Thanks for persisting, and for contacting me about it. ubiquity (talk) 15:26, 2 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
