You recently left a message on the talk page of User:Southbankmolineux about ignoring the consensus about the article but he has simply re-added the information again and stated that he will keep re-adding it. I've never had a problem with an edit war before so I hoped I could leave it up to you to take the appropriate action. Thanks. Kosack (talk) 21:35, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Centereach, New York

You once acted to defend a page I had worked on from vandals, so I am dropping by to see what can be done about an IP address that has now messed with the census data on Centereach,_New_York three times in the last 10 days. From their User_talk:69.113.203.59 talk page, it looks like all their edits are vandal edits. Thanks for any help you might lend. --Neighborhoodpalmreader (talk) 05:23, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Ahmad Jamal

Greetings Rjd0060 - I see you have just edited the Ahmad Jamal article and left an edit summary referring to the discussion on the talk page. However, as you have not left any rationale on said talk page and the consensus reached is that his birth name is to be included - as per Misplaced Pages guidelines - I'm confused as to what criteria you are applying. As you are an admin. I take for granted you know something I don't, but please explain. Thank you. --Technopat (talk) 23:38, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Greetings again Rjd0060 - have just seen your edit to the talk page. Message received, but I have a sneaking feeling the OTRS will be contested. Regards, --Technopat (talk) 23:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for explanation on my talk page.--Technopat (talk) 23:53, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to drag this one out, but thought the following gem from the French article might be of interest: ]. It's a well-known "fact" that he changed his name (as did many other musicians on converting to Islam in the '50s, 60s and 70s) and I'm sincerely worried that the Misplaced Pages Foundation is being hoodwinked over this matter - not by Jamal himself, but by his close collaborators. Do you know if the evidence submitted via OTRS been taken at face value or has the Foundation itself accessed the public records? Obviously if the Foundation were being threatened with legal action as part of this polemic the perspective changes, but verifiability is where Misplaced Pages is at! Cheers! --Technopat (talk) 00:24, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for latest clarification - please don't think I'm doubting your personal good faith in this - it's precisely the authenticity of the copies you have received that I harbour doubts about. But it's too late at night over here to worry 'bout it now. Thanks for your admining. G'night! --Technopat (talk) 00:37, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Images?

Hey, I saw you deleted Images i uploaded from flickr on wiki commons. Can you please explain my why as it said I can upload if it says "Some rights reserved".

Images are: Kotor_ulaz.jpg Kotor_pogled.jpg

Cheers!

Image 2

Hey, me again. I uploaded this image again : http://en.wikipedia.org/File:Kotor_ulaz.jpg

But the author gave me a permission to add it with condition mentioning him. Is that ok? Rave92 13:34, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

You're telling me what to do?

That's strange considering the fact that the New York Times told you to remove my David Rohde edits. I must say that you being a part of that cover up surprised me greatly. Pahjwok Afghan News was really unreliable, eh? HA, whatever. At least you gave Darrenhusted a warning too. Thank you for doing that. added by 72.186.97.162 (talk) 01:10, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for pointing out that I made an edit on AN/I that removed other people's text. I would never have noticed. I don't understand why there was no edit conflict notice. I double-checked everything to make sure I wasn't somehow deleting more text as I was putting the other text back, and I'm pretty sure it's OK now (this diff stream shows no deletions). -- Soap /_{Contributions} 02:04, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Knee-jerk reversion

Please exercise care when performing a blind revert, as you did here. Not doing so will undo not only changes you find problematic, but also the valid changes made during that same edit. It's an easy mistake to make; one that will happen less frequently with experience. You can find more information at WP:Revert. With regards to your comment on my talk page, thank you for the link to the WP:BLP section on relatively unknown people. I do not see how that applies to the 3 sources listed in the Lewy article; perhaps you could elaborate? If you choose to do so, it would probably be advantageous to respond on the article talk page in case other editors are interested. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 19:50, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Rjd0060 -

You came to my talk page to advise me on the fundamentals of BLP, a category of articles I have specialized in since I began editing Misplaced Pages. Bad form. You then reverted content you considered negative, while claiming you didn't see the 3 high quality sources to which it was cited. Possibly an oversight on your part; possibly willful negligence. During that revert, you also deleted other content without any explanation at all. Bad form. When I asked you to elaborate on your reasoning for the deletion of sourced content, you responded not with your reasons, but with further incivility: your blatant disregard to the BLP policy is appalling; I see that you're not interested in logical discussion; ignoring one of the most important policies that we have. On top of all that, you inform me you are OTRS, and therefore I "clearly don't know the full story". Wait, is this the same OTRS described in the opening paragraph as comprised of "Volunteers trusted to give courteous and helpful responses?"

Here's the full story, Rjd0060. I hate drama, but you have pushed too many buttons here. I am one step away from taking this situation to the noticeboards for review. I am requesting that you strike your comments from my talk page, and I am re-requesting that you elaborate on your objections to the 3 (now 4) sources cited for the content in the Lewy BLP. Please take this opportunity to return this to a cooperative effort, instead of an adversarial one. Regards, Xenophrenic (talk) 20:51, 16 September 2009 (UTC)
