Hi Kilbad, thank you for your message. Yes, I have an interest, but sadly little knowledge :-(

Ann Haydon Jones

I suggest you take a look at the logs of "Tennis Expert" (who is anything but) and Thermo Space or whatever he calls himself. I believe there is a rule on wiki about making 3 reverts in a 24 hour period. Both are engaged in an edit war and I suggest that instead of making threats to block me, that they follow the rules set by wiki themselves.

My point is that they are insisting on a heading being added to this page, when it does not exist in any other tennis player bio on wiki in identical sections. Thus, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that they are picking on one editor. If they weren't, then they'd busy themselves by adding this header to every tennis bio on wiki where it does not appear. But they do not. They simply keep making changes on this one page. Surely the rules should apply to them as they do to anyone else? Experts or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.186.107 (talk) 00:50, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I had a look and the article is referenced, so no longer needs a {{Unreferenced}} tag. I have now removed it. Marek.69 ^talk 01:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

However, I would advise you do not get into an edit war with these other users, as you could risk a block Marek.69 ^talk 01:11, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

And I trust the same "advice" is being given to ThemFromSpace and (not a)Tennis Expert? Edit wars are generally contributed by more than one editor. Or is it that because they've reached some exalted status on wiki that they are exempt from warnings? If you note, they were consistently changing a page. More than three times in 24 hours. Grounds for a ban to any other user. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.186.107 (talk) 01:33, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

The final edits you made to this page have been reversed - yet again - by (not a)TennisExpert. Under the three revision rule, should he not now be suspended from wiki? These are the rules I believe:

"You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.103.79 (talk) 17:50, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your message. I would just like to say there is no such thing as a ‘final edit’ on Wikipedia due to the ever-changing nature of the medium. Secondly if someone puts an {{unreferenced}} tag, I think the best solution is to provide some extra references for the text, rather than get into an edit war of deleting and replacing the template - clearly unproductive. I'm no expert on tennis, buy I'll see if I can find a few citations. Kind Regards Marek.69 ^talk 18:35, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

So why has (not a) Tennis Expert not been banned under the three revert rule? I note that the editor he engaged in a war has been banned. Where is the fairness in that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.16.103.79 (talk) 23:56, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

I've managed to find a couple of new references for the article and added them.

The question why a particular user hasn't been banned - I can't say - have they been reported? Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Edit warring

I would say that this disagreement should first be discussed calmly on the Ann Haydon-Jones talk page to try to achieve a compromise which is acceptable to both parties.

From the article's history I think it may be necessary to ask a neutral party to act as a mediator. Regards Marek.69 ^talk 04:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Request help covering Poland for EP2009

Marek69, hi!

The European Parliament election, 2009 is fast approaching, but we have insufficient non-Anglophone wikieditors to cope: User:Nightstallion can cover Austria, User:Checco can handle Italy, User:JLogan covers the EU institutions, but other countries' coverage can be lacking. Poland is one of these examples: 40 million people, one of the major forces in the EU, and the coverage en:Wikipedia has of it in EU politics is at the "isn't that where all the plumbers come from?" level. Ouch. We have to use pan-European/American terms such as "national conservatism", "christian right" and "euroscepticism" to cover Polish concepts like "national catholicism" and "Europa Ojczyzn", and a lot of the subtleties are being missed. "Forward Poland" split from the LPR five months ago and we didn't have an article about it until today. I'm trying to plug the gap, but my Polish is non-existent and I can't work fast enough. So if you know of any major changes in Polish politics regarding the EU, can you notify me? The reason why I'm asking you is because you're down as a Polish WP:EU member and I note you do Polish<->English translations. Any help would be really appreciated. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 01:25, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Anameofmyveryown. Sure, I'll give it a shot. Just let me know what you want me to do. Marek.69 ^talk 04:14, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

It's not really reasonable for me to ask you to bring European Parliament election, 2009 (Poland) and/or Poland (European Parliament constituency) up to spec. But it may be reasonable of me to ask you if you could point me to the following:

• A Polish site (newspaper/tv station) that covers the EP election in Poland in English. Failing that, one that does it in Polish would do.
• The site that gives the official Polish results (I assume that will be in Polish).

If you could give me that, then I'll do the best I can with that. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 02:51, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

I shall have a look and see what I can do :-) Marek.69 ^talk 01:43, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Wow, thank you for that! That's very helpful. Regards, Anameofmyveryown (talk) 20:36, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

It's not "vandilism" I correct and the old statement false.

Please do not keep shoving your ore into my business of edits. Thanks. Vchuffter (talk) 23:56, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Your two edits [1] and [2], are exactly that: removal of {{Fact|date=February 2009}}, replacing with ⁹.

Please explain these edits then Marek.69 ^talk 00:06, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

The "9" i replaced with as that connects the source with proof of editors statement that he was putting ad's on the site for beer money. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vchuffter (talk • contribs) 00:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Then you should replace it with a citation eg <ref>[http://www.urban75.net/vbulletin/ urban75 forums]</ref>, if that is what you want to do. Kind Regards Marek.69 ^talk 00:15, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Question

We tried to be polite and not "vandalize" any of the pages we edited, yet, on the last page we editted, we stated an absolute fact, and you still removed it. Why??

Do you consider these [3], [4] [5] edits polite? Marek.69 ^talk 05:49, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Softies (song)

The single leaked today on BearShare (soon followed by limewire). Please stop editing the page so it shows otherwise.

I reverted this edit [6] which added the following text: IT'S ONLINE YOU IDIOTS TAKE A HINT ALL READY. Are you disputing this? Marek.69 ^talk 04:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I did that because I was frustrated with you deleting my edit over and over again. It's legit information, and you continued to remove it.

I reverted only one edit [7] as stated above. You can verify this in the article's edit history. -- Marek.69 ^talk 05:10, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello...

Hello, thank you for your welcome message.

You may be interested to know that the small changes I made to the Zagreb article were removed with the explanation "No need to a new sentence, the previous was better anyway, stop wreckling this article if you want it to move into a FA Article status; thanks." Maybe you could suggest to the person who wrote this that it is opinionated and emotive and so not perhaps the most appropriate kind of response. I hope it might mean more coming from someone like yourself.

Thank you again. 212.84.104.101 (talk) 22:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I have posted NIR-Warrior a message on the subject. Marek.69 ^talk 01:12, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Ummm.....

I meant it as you beat me to reverting vandalism, not as in beating me with a canoe or pancakes. Abce2 (talk) 23:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)Abce2

I'm so glad you clarified that, as I can't remember being involved in the canoe/pancake thing  :-D Cheers Marek.69 ^talk 00:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Note

I saw your message and I can tell you that we are working in Project Zagreb, Wikipedia; for this time we dont need other sentences in place of correct ones, we dont need too minor changes until the article evolve into FA status (Featured Article). I assure to everyone that minor changments are just like previous, changing original sentence is no sense, as the original is correct and good. PS: Can you keep vandals away while we finish this objectif (updating quality status), which you can also join us. Im working actually hard to correct wrong spells and bad sentences in various articles, I hope you understand; thanks. NIR-Warrior (talk) 01:21, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi NIR-Warrior, I do understand that you wish to improve Zagreb to FA. I would just say to you, please just tone down the content of your edit summaries so as not to upset newcomers to the project, as this is also important :-) Kind Regards Marek.69 ^talk 01:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Sure Marek, Thanks for your understanding ;-) NIR-Warrior (talk) 01:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Complaint against Philbox17

1) Philbox17 has made personal attacks on me.

Here, Philbox17 accuses me of making propaganda.

And here he calls me a propaganda machine.

2) Philbox17 is editing an article about an organization after being asked to do so by leaders of this organization. There is a rule against a person editing their own article. What is the consensus on organizations doing so?

3) Philbox17 has called me "peureux" (a coward) on French wiki and has also taken to threatening me in a veiled manner: "I counsel you to stop the vandalism and the federalist propaganda right away Vincent...". (My translation.)

Also, please note Philbox17 has just been blocked for 3 days from French Wikipedia.

Would an admin kindly look into these matters, please? Vincent (talk) 02:13, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Vincent,

Sorry for not replying to you earlier, but I've been away for a few days (- work) and not been online at all. I'm sorry to hear that you have had some problems with another editor - have you managed to make any progress with resolving this? i.e get an administrators to help you sort it out. Try not to let it upset you or ruin your enjoyment of Wikipedia. Please let me know if there is anything I can still do to assist you. Kind Regards. Marek.69 ^talk 02:26, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

No worries, but Wikipedia has gotten too bureaucratic. This guy has made personal attacks, he has threatened me, he is editing an article about an organization to which he belongs on the leadership's instructions, and it is deemed fair to suspend me as well as him. His behaviour was just as obvious on French Wikipedia and he was suspended there very quickly. Not worth my time. Anyway, thanks for your interest. Vincent (talk) 07:22, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting some vandalism on BearShare.

I see that 65.113.243.82 (which resolves to the Leatherman company) has been used to edit the article on their own company too.

Hi Aaron, I think first familiarise yourself a bit with the information on Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You then have the option to start a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard, where editors more experienced in these matters, will hopefully be able to help you resolve the matter. I hope this information helps. Marek.69 ^talk 17:03, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
