Amobee

Hello Bulldog73, I see you have taken some interest in Amobee.
Just FYI, your last revert of section blanking there by an IP editor was reverted by another IP editor. I have re-reverted that, restored a lot of other deleted, sourced content, restored deleted external links and added some new references. This page has suffered from the attention of what appears to be at least 4-5 Single Purpose Accounts (SPA), including its creator, that have only edited Amobee or related articles. Still needs some work. I have also tagged it as wp:COI and wp:Advert (courtesy of an SPA), etc. Regards, 220 of ^Borg 11:25, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

Monster

Did I revert one of your edits / reverts? I have accidentally done that sort of thing, but I don't see it on Monster history. I seem to be a bit confused here. Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 07:50, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Tid Gang

Its a page of me and my friends in a small gang of our town. Come on. Im sure youve seen stuff like this before and im new, so its a small gang which i helped create, a group of friends. We wanted a small page for our members to contribute to. THIS IS NOT A "TROLL" page and would be appreciated if you could tell me a way i can get this page out of the "possible vandalism" sector, we have ho links to anywhere because we are not online and obviously it wont exist if its not online i gave you the school which it was created from. What more do you want.

Signed. The creator of the page you've tried to block for unnecessary reasons Y u block me — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y u block me (talk • contribs) 00:19, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

If you expect to keep editing, you should contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. For example, you need to not vandalize articles or create inappropriate ones. Also, articles that you wrote about yourself and your friends may quickly be deleted if put into the article space. It isn't very likely that your article will survive if it is based on a gang created at school, either. Wikipedia is not for things that you or your friends made up one day. Honestly, it's a surprise that someone like this has an excuse that he is "new." Bulldog73 ^talk da contribs _{go rando} 00:37, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

new in the sense that iv'e just created an account new, which in context is obvious, im sure you come across arguments like this every day."somthing you made up at school" im probably older than you, and dont get all bothered showing me hyperlinks and stuff to pages i diddnt even knew existed "well you shold always read the 9000 page essays on the terms" i hear you say. Well soooory but this was just supposed to be a quick surprize for the founder of the gang. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Y u block me (talk • contribs) 00:47, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

These "hyperlinks and stuff to pages i diddnt even knew" that you refer to are policies that are meant to be accepted by everyone in the Wikipedia community. Also, I meant being "new" as an excuse. For example, if you vandalize an article and your revision is reverted, saying that you are just new to the encyclopedia will not help matters: "I vandalized that page, but I'm new at this." Policies determine what is right and wrong here in the community, and should not be taken lightly; please take the time to absorb yourself in some of our policies and you will be on the right track.

Comment at Reference desk: Computing

Your comment at Wikipedia:Reference desk/Computing is unacceptable. The reference desks here at Wikipedia work like libraries, and defamatory comments like yours are not welcome. You may respond in a light-hearted way in the future, but your answer was "needlessly offensive," according to the reference desk guidelines. Bulldog73 ^talk da contribs _{go rando} 20:40, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

According to wikt:defamatory the original post is even worse. (That is to say an OS being built so poorly that it prompts someone to ask why and in turn prompt me to explain why are both more defamatory than the explanation.) ¦ Reisio (talk)

New Page Triage engagement strategy released

Hey guys!

I'm dropping you a note because you filled out the New Page Patrol survey, and indicated you'd be interested in being contacted about follow-up work. This is to notify you that we've finally released both the initial documentation about the project and also the engagement strategy, which sets out how we plan to work with the community on this. Please give both a read, and leave any comments or suggestions you have on the talkpage, on my talkpage, or in my inbox - okeyeswikimedia.org.

It's awesome to finally get to start work on this! :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 02:14, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

why change that page?

the Brandon Cruz page is being edited by me, brandon cruz. no one knows my life, nor has the right to think they know about me. leave it alone. brandon cruz — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itismesoleavemypagealone (talk • contribs) 00:58, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

I think you are just impersonating Brandon Cruz and pretending to know what he knows about his own life. Please reply whether or not you are in reality Brandon Cruz. Bulldog73 ^talk da contribs _{go rando} 01:01, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

it's me.

trust me. why would i pretend to be a minor celebrity? none of this information is important to you, and if it is, you need to get a life. my family reads this, and tells me that it's wrong. i correct it, and wiki cops come flying out and tell me that i cannot tell what is true. as for verifying who i am, how do you suggest we go about that? i am new to the intricate and complicated ways of wiki, so i ask of you, how do i make you all leave this page alone? brandon cruz — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itismesoleavemypagealone (talk • contribs) 01:11, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

April Fool Motto

April Fools Day is just around the corner. As such please could you nominate a new motto or comment on existing suggestions at Wikipedia:Motto of the day/Nominations/Specials? Simply south...... facing oncoming traffic for over 5 years 16:38, 20 March 2012 (UTC)

April 2012

Please stop adding unreferenced or poorly referenced biographical content, especially if controversial to articles or any other Wikipedia page, as you did at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/William Hung (2nd nomination). Content of this nature could be regarded as defamatory and is in violation of Wikipedia policy. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I have deleted this "joke" AfD nomination because it was, in substance, an attack page against a living person. Please do not eve do this again.  Sandstein  17:58, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

All you need to do is think twice. The fun might have gotten a bit out of hand, but that doesn't mean you can start a riot like this. Bulldog73 ^talk da contribs _{go rando} 20:40, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

You are out of line. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia read by millions of people every day, not a place for you to have fun on, and particularly not by nominating a living person's article for deletion with an insulting message. The people who vandalize articles with penis images are also only trying to have their bit of fun, and what you did is not very different. If you ever do anything similar again, and I notice it, I will block you for an extended period of time.  Sandstein  20:52, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Read WP:A nice cup of tea and a sit down. I sincerely apologize for my comments, and I really didn't mean to hurt anyone, or any fans of William Hung for that matter. Bulldog73 ^talk da contribs _{go rando} 20:57, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I am concerned that you do not understand the problem. What you meant to do, or whether any fans of William Hung were hurt in their feelings, is irrelevant. What is a matter of concern is that, for reasons that are of no interest to me, you misused this encyclopedia project for a juvenile and very visible attack on a living person, in crass violation of WP:BLP. As an editor who has been here for two years, you are expected to know better than that. What I am interested in are not apologies, but a statement that convinces me that you understand the problem that your actions represent, and that you will not do it again.  Sandstein  21:11, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I have understood how my attacks against a living person are wrong and have caused a lot of problems. Even though they were meant for fun, I did not realize from the beginning that they were very juvenile and against WP policy. I assure you that comments like these will never be posted again. Bulldog73 ^talk da contribs _{go rando} 22:09, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

I thank you for your understanding.  Sandstein  12:38, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Re: MOTD 2012-04-30

I usually take a look at MOTD on every Tuesday, once a week, and I don't think the "14 days" is mandatory, especially in times when there are few members who are actively participating in the project. A couple of weeks ago I was "accused" of having approved two nominations that only had two people in support (excluding the nominator), but at the moment there are only four active perticipants, and that (IMHO) is about as much consensus as we can get right now. In other words, I'm not 100% sure whether or not I should approve or reopen a nomination with two "supporters". About the 14 days "thingY", again, it is one thing having many participants, and quite another having just three or four. We are lucky enough that there are enough mottos approved, if I remember correctly, for almost the entire month of May. I'll see what I can do. Thanks for your interest, help, and participation, it is really appreciated, indeed. Happy editing! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 07:46, 30 April 2012 (UTC)

MotD Nomination for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics (27 July 2012)

We at the Motto of the Day would be extremely grateful if you could review a couple of "special" nominations for the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics on the 27th of July 2012. Here is the link to the first nomination, if you can help. The others follow it, and you can add your own ones or improve the existing nominations, of course.
Thank you so very much in advance! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 09:45, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
