Request for Page Move

Please Revert bad faith move (by User:Jobxavier) in the article Anti-Christian violence in Karnataka, which is the proper title reported by BBC, NDTV, Times of India such reliable sources. The conversion can’t be the title as it goes out of the subject and confusing. However, the conversion details has already included in the article. Additionally, if anyone searches for both titles in any search engine, the former comes with "Anti-Christian+violence+in+Karnataka"&btnG=Search&meta= (MORE) results. The new title has "Anti-conversion+protest+in+Karnataka"&btnG=Search&meta= (ZERO) results. --Googlean (talk) 04:23, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

One more case i.e Anti-Christian violence in India which is the proper title. Reason: same as above. --Googlean (talk) 04:40, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Also note his rationale here , The user falsely commented that There is no anti-Christian violence . The violence was against conversion. If that was the exact reason behind violence, why did other Reliable Sources had not give more importance to it it? This type of actions are really disrupting other editors. What I am saying is that there are many reasons behind the violence. Not only by conversion which is merely discussed by media and not at all suitable for the title. Therefore, the current move is unwarrantable and it should be reverted. --Googlean (talk) 05:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Regardless of the accuracy of the description, it is at least highly debatable. Moreover, it was a controversial move that was not discussed in any way. It is precisely the kind of move that deserves no deference, having evaded the proper channels for a move. Gabrielthursday (talk) 06:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

This seems to now be going through the proper channels. Since I'm not familiar with the history or the issues and the pages have already been moved back, I don't think there's even anything left that I could do here.--chaser - t 05:46, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

hi I have just had to pay to enter this i get o2 access for free. Please email me to discuss d.misell@rhul.ac.uk

I just tried to edit the wiki on 68 sqn raf, the raf memorial is near my college, but had to change my ip to a dialup one due to your waxky policy. If someone has abused wikipedia take it up with o2.

Kind regards David —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.255.116.88 (talk) 20:15, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you're referring to. I've never blocked any IP in your range [1]. This may have been an autoblock.--chaser - t 21:33, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

deleted page

Hey -- can I see the Arthur H. House page you deleted? I get it, it wasn't BLP whatever but he's on my ballot and there's dick on the internet for this dude.. Last thing you want is an uneducated vote... right? Thanks Chateauthor (talk) 00:00, 15 October 2008 (UTC)thor

Chaztemptest

Hi

I hope you can help. I am doing some research on a music band called The The for a book I am writing/editing on them. I saw that somewhere in 2006 you had some exchanges with a user called Chaztempest (Charles Blackburn) who was sort of in the original line-up. I've been trying without a lot of success to track CB Tempest/Chaz Tempest/Charles Blackburn down, and everything leads me here and doesn't go anywhere else. He updated the The The (three "the"s!) page only this month (I think Oct 4) so he is obviously out there and still interested in the subject so it would be fantastic to get in touch with him.

I tried to use the 'contact user' function but he didn't leave an email/chose not to receive emails so I have hit a brick wall. Is there anyway you could help me out by either sending him a message asking him to get in touch, asking him to add his email so I can contact him or let me know if there is another way I can leave him some contact details. My email is below.

Many thanks Lee Harrison thethebook@gmail.com

I suggest either leaving a message on his talk page or contacting the band via Myspace's internal mailing system. You'll have to register a myspace account and then contact them through the band's myspace page. Cheers.--chaser - t 17:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

iPhone Vandalism

Hello Chaser. I believe that you can recall the incident of the guy who vandalized pages from his/her iPhone in the UK. You rangeblocked him/her for a couple of weeks, and it appears as though there was no harm done thus far. However, when it expired a couple of days ago, this mess started all over again. If we're lucky, s/he may think twice before wasting money on an iPhone to vandalize Wikipedia ...but if that's going to happen, it looks like we're in need of another rangeblock. Cheers, ~ Troy (talk) 18:39, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

Done for four days. There are some good edits from this range [2] [3] that I don't want to block. I'm open to suggestions.--chaser - t 06:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks again. Hopefully the legitimate contributers won't get affected. ~ Troy (talk) 21:46, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Bancafe

Hi there. I have restored the article, please add some sources and extra meat onto the bones of the article so that it doesn't fall afoul of another A7 deletion. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 02:52, 25 October 2008 (UTC).

I've placed a hangon on this article, but right now it would qualify for deletion via A7(group) – Zedla (talk) 17:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Starting a New Article

Thank you for saying hello and offering to be of assistance on my page. I think I now understand basic editing on Wikipedia; I'm not quite sure how to start a new article. I would be grateful for any advice you could offer. The page I propose to start is based on the Lambert v. Yellowley Supreme Court case from 1926. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:14, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

My advice to you is to be bold and start it! Click on the redlink above to go right to it. We have some specific instructions on Supreme Court articles here, but they're poorly written and confusing, so if they're unclear, ignore them. Do your best and other contributors will improve and expand the article. That's what this project is all about.--chaser - t 20:33, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Article Retrieval

Please help me get back the article Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade, which was marked for speedy deletion, before I could put a hangon notice on it, My computer froze before I could finish it, and I was trying to save picture i was worried about losing at the same time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kirsten5400 (talk • contribs) 02:13, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, the second paragraph is copied from here (copyright violation) and the first one is now restored to User:Kirsten5400/Mickey's Jammin' Jungle Parade. The speedy deletion was right. You need more context. Is this a Disney ride or event or something? Then that should be explicitly stated.--chaser - t 05:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Multiple citations

Chaser,I see you are a regular contributor to SCOTUS-related articles. I'm curious about a recent edit you made on this article, with the explanation that where we had one citation, we didn't need three. Are you familiar with the practice of parallel citation? I don't do it myself, but the Bluebook Manual of Style (used by many legal publications) treats it as optional, as do many other legal manuals of style. I don't think there's anything wrong with it, myself. Is there a wiki convention against it of which I'm unaware? Non Curat Lex (talk) 05:00, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

(/me butts in...) Multiple inline citations are messy and unnecessary. The infobox holds the additional citations. --MZMcBride (talk) 05:22, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I seem to remember discussing at WT:SCOTUS whether we needed one or none for Supreme Court cases. I don't think any are necessary for blue links b/c the article always does (or at least should) have at least the US reports cite and, as MZM says, usually others in the infobox. Cheers.--chaser - t 05:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

I don't think we'd follow Bluebook for Wikipedia. I just discovered Wikipedia:Manual of Style (legal) today, and it seems consistent with not using Bluebook.--chaser - t 05:36, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Happy Halloween!

As Halloween is my favorite holiday, I just wanted to wish those Wikipedians who have been nice enough to give me a barnstar or smile at me, supportive enough to agree with me, etc., a Happy Halloween! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 21:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
