[edit] College football Project
Hello, I noticed that you have edited a College football related article. You may be interested to know that there is a college football WikiProject which you can join if you like. We would love to have you! --Mecu 18:35, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Warning templates
In future, please use the {{spam[1-4]-n|article}} warnings because your warnings to HehEXE did not refer to the Wikipedia:External Links policy. Not everyone knows that Wikipedia's definition of spam includes the self-promotion of sites that do not complement articles.
Please see WP:TUSER for a full list of standard template warnings. Cheers, Netsnipe ► 21:24, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External Links
Since you've been less than honest in reporting HehEXE for spamming to WP:ANI by selectively preserving a link to your own forum (gscentral.org), I am placing you on notice that any continued links to your site not in the context of Wikipedia:Citing Sources will be treated as linkspam and removed per the Wikipedia:External Links policy. If I catch you (or any sockpuppet accounts) inserting this link into articles when inappropriate, I will have ALL links to your domain removed and blacklisted altogether. HehEXE has also been placed on notice for the same issue. Continued edit warring between either of you will lead to blocks. -- Netsnipe ► 03:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] GSCentral
I've reread the External Links policy. Tell me if I'm understanding the properly. I cannot add a link to me own site (despite it being relevant and useful) because it is a POV violation. However, I can put it up on the article(s)'s talk page(s) and if others think it appropriate, they can add it? Tell me if I am understanding correctly. Dlong 03:57, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
- Yes that is correct. However, you are allowed to add a link to you own site if you are providing a specific link as a reference. For example, http://www.gscentral.org/bb/viewtopic.php?t=489&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0 as linked in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is allowed because it is a constructive link and not just mindless spamming. -- Netsnipe ► 04:05, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] re: vandalism
No, look again. I linked to the user page of someone you firmly threatened to block if they vandalized again and they did. I was hoping you would take action. House of Scandal 20:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 3RR
Don't break 3RR yourself, please. I know this guy is out of his mind, but it's not OK for you to do it either. I filed a report; we'll just have to wait til someone gets around to blocking the guy. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 06:02, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 3RR / Tennessee Football
New day. :-) But yeah, I'll let any changes from him go from now on. I actually requested an intervention, but it seems like he won't be up to it. Thanks for the help. It helps to know that I'm not totally wrong here. Dlong 06:13, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Well, actually, Wikipedia is global, so it's 3 reversions in a 24 hour span. But no, the guy's hopelessly out of his mind promoting Tennessee; it's not a national championship when the other teams were undefeated, and only a few small polls rank you #1. If it continues, try posting at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College football. Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 06:16, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
- Oh no! Now my Penn State Nittany Lions are going to play Tennessee in the Outback Bowl, and it'll look like I'm not neutral on the subject. ;). PSU will lose, BTW ;).
- BTW, I see you trying to reason with this user on the page. I've been trying, and it's becoming clear that this is one of those cases where it becomes fruitless. Don't waste your time - I've tried this before, and it comes to nothing. Until this user acknowledges the arguments you've used (which invariably won't happen in this situation; he'll just keep repeating his own diatribe), just revert, and explain saying "not until you address my argument".

[edit] Chris Langford vandalism
Lol, hey sorry. I'm not the same person that added vandalism if it was that person at all. This computer/IP address is used by a computer lab in a school facicilty so we do not know who made the edit, I think. Yeah... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.185.199.73 (talk • contribs) 19:35, 4 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] Mediation
I agreed to mediate the issue on the Vol's article. Please drop by the talk page when you get a chance. →Bobby← 15:25, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
