natalie portman vandalism

i'm really bad with this wikipedia stuff so i originally posted this in my own talk page:

ok then, but personally i thought that repetitive paragraph that was added a while ago could ammount to vandalism. it was unessecary. perhaps in an article so subdivided it would be useful to have a longer introduction that just "israeli-american actress" but that one was unessecary and misleading.

but i didn't just delete stuff, i'm not sure if you just assumed cos it was an anon edit, but i relocated the important stuff to the section on her beliefs. I know it's been discussed a bit on her talk page, but will anything actually be done about the repetition and innacuracies therein? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.122.23.101 (talk • contribs) `

frank Hamer

User:Katefan0hi Kate,I understand your edits on the frank hamer, (you did a good job), but I hope and appeal to you to leave enough of the aftermath section so that people understand the horror of Hamer letting people cut her bloody hair and dress, and the fact that the posse was unhappy = and argued with him - on firing on Bonnie without warning. But whatever you decide, I accept. old windy bear 21:40, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

User:Katefan0hi Kate, I just read your edits of the aftermath - very fair. Thank you. I think you did, in a very professional way, raise the issues which have become more and more public, while not doing so in a way that raises issues outside the biography of this man. Good job, and I hope my work helped at least a little...old windy bear 22:02, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

did you check the accused's contributions? UF (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) He did in fact vandalize the 9/11 article and related articles with conspiracy theories repeatedly.

WNRI

Thank you for protecting WNRI against the vandalism of User:J.sweeton@wnri.com. He is indeed a WNRI employee (I've met him personally), but it is definitely obvious that he's removing inconvenient facts like the "18 watts nighttime power" bit. He was also trying to add fabrications, such as saying that the station belongs in the Providence market. That station does not cover Providence whatsoever.

The reason he's removing inconvenient facts and fabricating new facts is because he wants the station to look good to advertisers. Having 18 watts of nighttime power and not covering Providence does look good to advertisers. What he fails to realize is that Wikipedia does not exist to help WNRI sell advertising. Thank you again! --Analogdemon (talk) 13:51, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Bonnie and Clyde

User:Katefan0 User: CyclePat Hi Kate, Hi Pat, it is day 3 since Pig tagged the Bonnie and Clyde article, and Pat asked him to list his issues, on Pat's discussion page, and he refused, other than to misstate the Frank Hamer article - I did go back and worked hard on that article, and you then edited it appropriately (but Pig forgot that, as he always forgets the positive!) Since he refuses to identify his issues, as Pat asked, refuses to edit anything to correct these unnamed errors, and there is consensus among everyone else that it is a fair article, (other folks have made some nice edits 2 days ago!) may we remove the tag that a banned user put on there, and refused to justify on the talk page as required? hope you are well, and thanks...old windy bear 15:40, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

HomestarmyHi! if you were referring to the bonnie and clyde article, and have an edit that would help, PLEASE make it! Most of us really are anxious to achieve a consensus, you seem intelligent and informed, so if this is the article you were referring to, (not the one below!:)) then please make the edit, it would be MOST welcome.

Course of action

Hello Katefan0. I noticed that Comaze's use of 3 different labels has led to other editors believing that he is 3 seperate editors. I also suspect that this was his intention. His actions also seem to me to be wholly uncooperative and conflict provoking. What do you suggest as a course of action? ATB Camridge 08:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Permission for Comaze to replace overly large text back to the article

Hello again Katefan0. I would like to make a request on Comaze's behalf. Can he have permission to replace all his excessively large and numerous text moves back to the article? This will make it easier for editors to focus cooperatively, and clearly it may make it easier for mediators/mentors to work also. He was on the verge of placing half the article into the discussion page and to argue for its deletion. I believe giving him permission to cooperate will help enormously. ATB Camridge 09:18, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

I have responded to Camridge on this matter eg. "I'm willing to co-operate with you but I am not able to reinstate any "text moves" because we need to check the facts, and reach consensus first. Also this will be the job of the mentors. I'm sure if you reword some of the propose for NPOV - the mentors will reinstating the text. If you want to work on one or two lines, please let me know what 2 lines you would like to work on so we can work together on this. --'c' 06:41, 7 March 2006 (UTC)" --'c' 09:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello again Katefan0. Comaze,C,SC, has taken many and large amounts of text, and from diverse places on the article. In doing so, it makes it extremely hard for other editors to take parts from the article, and to make a proposal, as the article has been so chopped about and because Comaze has claimed them for deletion already. In order for other editors to have a fair chance of taking texts from the article, Comaze,C,SC, needs permission to reinstate those excessive, and diverse text moves. Additionally, Comaze's text moves are almost entirely about arguing for the deletion of facts that have been misattributed or have no page numbers (usually due to reversion wars). We all know that Arbcom wants those details added, and we have already stated that commitment. I know we all wish to move forward from this rather awkward situation. ATB Camridge 10:16, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

Your blocking of me was unjustified

So we have a few diffrent items here

-continues a pattern of attacking -incivility and disruptive tendentious behavior

So lets start with the first thing which is the page you refer to, that version only exsisted for a few houers before I changed it.

On the blocking page you listed a none exsisting page, Why is that?

-continues a pattern of attacking, show me the patern . Just because you say something dosent make it true.

-incivility and disruptive tendentious behavior, show it. Just because you say something dosent make it true.

And the finally you said the block would last for 72 houers it lasted for longer. Why is that? (Deng 07:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC))

Training

I'd like to to teach you some of my malicious rollback strategies, but I suspect you have the wrong personality style. One recent editor has said of "the Will BeBack character" that:

• Personality style indicates that he is the wrong type to have any kind of power over another on a wiki, he's a real martinet and quite a loose cannon not really improving Wikipedia with his admin powers--instead his pattern of behavior is reversion to incompleteness with a personal bias on where he does this.

Sorry Kate, loose cannon martinets are born, not made. However I will be conducting a class on how to "defactualize" articles through cloaked micro-edits. It's for unprofessional and arbitrary admins who want to be promoted to rouge admins. -Will Beback 02:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Katefan0baby.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Katefan0baby.jpg. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Thank you. Stan 05:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Filibustering

Hi Katefan0. Thanks for mediating the NLP page. It looks like a tough job. I hope you don't mind me sharing that I'm feeling frustrated with progress. I thought it might be useful for you to know, as a mediator,

I've expressed some more feelings about progress that I'd like you to be aware of. I think a game of filibustering is unfolding. I'm asserting that some editors are creating deliberately incredulous objections to stock-standard NLP material and using only a vague pretense of staying on topic to keep raising new objections. Now it's got to the stage that editors feel they can comfortably start positing online shopping websites as sources for the article, I really have to start drawing the line for myself and how much time I'm prepared to waste. I'm honestly trying to assume good faith, but I'm also trying to contribute positively to the progress of the discussion.

I'd like to feel reassured that the workshop can become productive for all contributors. I've liked the pro-forma discussion mechanisms and would like to see more, and tighter versions of these pro-forma discussions. I'm not sure if there's anything a mediator can do to help the discussions progress without fallacy, so I have no specific expectations.

Be well and happy. ॐ Metta Bubble ^puff 06:10, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Croatia

Thank you for your reply in Talk:Croatia#History. You were right, I was being inconsiderate. Since then, both sides have presented their arguments in a reasonably civilized way, but there's still no consensus. Moreover, the exact same issue appeared in Talk:History of Croatia and could spread even further. Therefore, I have a request. Please, would you accept to act as an independent third party mediator? --Zmaj 19:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

About the Ecuadorian-Peruvian dispute

Hello there! But I believe that the option of preventing editions to that article is not a good idea. The article has one of the two (and more) versions that are disputed, so I believe that it's better if you could revert it to a version that is way before the whole rv war started. Also, someone already put some words in my mouth, claiming that I doubt of your impartiality or wisdom. Rest assure that I'm not the one that uses that words. Another ways to solve this conflict must be use in order to avoid creating a much more bigger problem than the one that we already have over there. So far, a number of wikipedist are also attempting to achieve compromise, and I'm confident that we will reach a conclusion. Thanks. Messhermit 04:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Civility

While I can understand the need for politeness in Wikipedia debates, throughout this I have been the subject of attack by Claymate fans, first by accusations that I was being paid for my interest by John Paulus/Michael Lucas, then that I have some ridiculous quest to destroy the reputations of celebrities worldwide by proving they're all homosexual. My personal website, which has no bearing on the debate, has been brought in and quoted several times without my consent or approval. I had to restrict comments on my site because no sooner did it appear in the discussion than I got thirty angry comments from Clay Aiken fans attacking me personally. However, I don't bring this up to complain, because unlike others involved I am actually an adult and capable of taking criticism, personal or otherwise. But please don't act as if I'm the only one frustrated and upset. My edits on the talk pages have been deleted, moved to the bottom of the page, rearranged so no one would notice them. I'm sarcastic, yes, but I'm always civil. My "you must be blind" remark was because it's clear from the flash poll the number of votes on each side. Thanks. - mixvio 18:49, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

On at least two occurances the anon IP address who's most involved in the debate quoted and linked to my personal website in an attempt to "prove" my ulterior motive in this is to out all celebrities in existance. I can't figure out how to link directly to her comments but they're towards the bottom of the "Discussion on whether or not the John Paulus story should be included" section. - mixvio 19:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
