Between The Lines (STP song)

look. this guy is messing up this page because he thinks the Alternative Songs chart is a component to the Hot 100. I disagree. It's a genre chart. Every genre has charts on Billboard.David1287 (talk) 19:30, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Miraculous birth article

You need to read the discussion. You obviously are not familiar with it. Do not give me warnings that don't make sense.--Hammy64000 (talk) 15:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Suggestion

I see that you have been reverting vandalism. Therefore, I feel that, although your edit count is a little low for a rollbacker, you might want to request rollback here. The benefits of rollback are great for users who are involved in fighting vandalism and include access to the vandalism-fighting tool Huggle and increase speed of reverts. Best wishes.

Cats?

Do you really have 25 cats!? You must go through a fortune in food and kitty litter...and furniture.  :) Bill the Cat 7 (talk) 21:03, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, well, for a second, I though you might be one of those "cat ladies".  :) Nevertheless, cats ARE furry little angels, aren't they? Bill the Cat 7 (talk) 19:41, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

I understand you reverting the addition of that template to the talk page at List of domain name registrars, but perhaps you could have helped to facilitate things by submitting the page-protection request to the proper place. :-) Happy Editing. --Me-123567-Me (talk) 16:27, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:

If you have any questions, please do let me know. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 13:38, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Thanks :D. And thanks for the sign reminder, probably the first time I forgot to sign in years! SpigotMap 13:39, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your edit to the above article, unfortunately the warring editor reverted your edit almost the instant that the block expired. They've dropped their sock puppets however and used their account so maybe something can be done (also, the page is soft-protected in some way or perhaps just for me, so I can't help much). I lack the seniority to prevent a logged-in user from edit-warring so perhaps you can assist here? A check on their history as well as their sock-puppets that I linked in the talk pages will make their agenda pretty clear. 58.96.94.12 (talk) 19:32, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Planeshift_(video_game) "minor" edits

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but it looks like you have the "minor edit" checkbox stuck on or something (like your browser caching the input field). The first two minor edits didn't change content, but the other recent ones have. Spacexplosion (talk) 18:25, 16 June 2010 (UTC)

The only content change was with the system requirements, which are sourced and not really likely to cause a dispute. SpigotMap 18:37, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
Ok, sorry. I thought it was weird that a seasoned editor would make a mistake like that, but I didn't understand it, and anyone can make mistakes. My understanding of "minor edit" was that the edit changes only format rather than content, but I haven't seen it used much yet. I'll take your word for it. You're right that the changes aren't disputable. Spacexplosion (talk) 19:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
As a word of advise, the majority of disruptive edits, disputed edits, etc that I've seen, the editors click minor edit. I would just ignore the little m that goes along with them and check all edits within your interest. Don't believe any edits are minor. SpigotMap 19:09, 16 June 2010 (UTC)
There is additional discussion concerning you and this article at User talk:Xyz231. N419BH 01:21, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for your comment over on xyz's talk page. Hopefully he gets the WP:CIVIL point. If not, one of us will have to send him to WP:AIV. N419BH 15:20, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
You are saying I'm doing vandalism on that page? wow. I'm more amazed every day. Xyz231 (talk) 20:21, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
No, I'm saying across all of Wikipedia. I in no way was suggesting you were a vandal. I watchlist a couple thousand pages, not just PlaneShift. SpigotMap 20:23, 17 June 2010 (UTC)


Gospel of the Hebrews has been compromised by sockpuppetry

Good Day and and I will say in advance that I do not think you are a vandal. However, I do have some concerns.

I am a Biblical scholar who tried to merge the different P.O.V. editions of the Gospel of the Hebrews into a N.P.O.V edition last week. I noticed the the Talk page had been falsified. While restoring it, I came upon an extensive sockpuppet nest. The article itself has been disrupted locked down since May, frozen to a P.O.V. edition composed solely by the "Nest". No other editing has been permitted.

Your edits have caused some concern as they seem to be coordinated with those of the sockpuppet nest. If you could shed any light on the situation it would be much appreciated.

Wikipedia:Sock puppetry

  • Meatpuppets: Using or recruiting meatpuppets to dominate an article is a serious violation of Wikipedia Policy. It is wrong to recruit to your friends, family members, or communities of people who agree with you for the purpose of coming to Wikipedia and supporting your side of a debate.
  • Creating an illusion of support: Alternate accounts must not be used to give the impression of more support for a position than actually exists.
  • Circumventing policies or sanctions: Policies apply per person, not per account. Policies such as the three-revert rule are for each person's edits.
  • "Good hand" and "bad hand" accounts: Keeping one account "clean" while using another to engage in disruption.

It has been alleged that the Gospel of the Hebrews and talk page had been compromised by sockpuppetry. Specifically, it has been stated that

are in violation of Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. Not only do the edit histories, but more particularly the block logs show the editing to be ad idem.

Central issue: Authentic Matthew

Most Christians believe that the Gospel of Matthew was the first gospel written and Matthew to be the author. Indeed this is the position of the Catholic Church. Yet many modern scholars have challenged this belief. Scholars such as Parker, Nicholson, Lillie and Edwards have gone so far as to say the Gospel of the Hebrews was the first gospel to be written and that it was composed by Matthew. The sockpuppet nest has a very strong point of view on this issue. The "Nest" completely rejects even the possibility that the Gospel of the Hebrews could be the Authentic Gospel of Matthew and this is the source of all the conflict.

Sockettes

The sockpuppet nest seems to create single purpose puppets such as this and this.

Spurious sockpuppet accusations

According to WP:NPA, accusations about personal behavior that lack evidence are a violation. Serious sockpuppet accusations require serious evidence. A characteristic of "the nest" is to edit war by making many sockpuppet accusations but with nothing to support the accusations. This, this, this, this, and this are but five examples of the "nest" behavior. Indeed it appears that every editor that has gone against the "nest" P.O.V. has been accused of being a sockpuppet with nothing specific to support the accusation. -- 207.81.154.64 (talk) 05:41, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
