Backchannelling

Hi, I'd like to know whether you were emailed a request to come in and participate in this move to push me out of my position as writer of "Featured content". Tony (talk) 02:05, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

I don't have an e-mail address specified, so I wouldn't think so. WikiPuppies! (bark) 19:04, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

There is no conspiracy Tony. You went "on strike", and the paper was supposed to publish yesterday. The show must go on, with or without you, because the Signpost is bigger than any one editor. If you decide to come off strike and write the Featured content section for next week, no-one and nothing is stopping you. I don't like you, really, I don't, but you're good for the Signpost and you do good work. Sven Manguard Wha? 02:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Your opinion of another editor is unwelcome, irrelevant, and a breach of policy. However the conspiracy took shape, it is there. And get your chronology right by looking at the edit-history times. Tony (talk) 08:48, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Because WikiPuppies really isn't involved in any of this, I am moving my response to my talk page. Sven Manguard Wha? 09:16, 1 November 2011 (UTC)

Tony, I freaking trouted you for glutting up Featured content and screwing over our copyediting this week. You turn around, remove it, then slap me silly with a fish four times over. I assumed it was in good spirit, but this is getting ridiculous. What makes Featured content your section? WikiPuppies and I covered it this week only because you're being so obstinate. There's no "conspiracy." ResMar 22:30, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

AWB

Hi, re this edit - as far as I can see, this is simply insertion of one blank line, which I believe counts as an "insignificant or inconsequential edit" as shown at the AWB Rules of use item 4. --Redrose64 (talk) 22:32, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Oops. Sorry about that. Would you prefer it if I revert my edit? WikiPuppies! (bark) 22:33, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I reverted my edit. WikiPuppies! (bark) 22:37, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) No, leave it. A revert would also be trivial/inconsequential, and means another entry in the watchlist. :) --Redrose64 (talk) 22:38, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

I knew it! :) Well, I'll just let the revert stand, unless you want your watchlist full of me being completely silly. WikiPuppies! (bark) 22:40, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

This is a criticism of TED. This position is neutral. If you disagree please ask another Wikipedia editor. What I added is a true fact. Criticism is never neutral. I believe I was neutral in describing the critism others have of TED.

TED has a pro-Arab-Islam-Palestinian bias

Chris Anderson having grown up in Pakistan and Afganistan has his moderators delete views on TED's website that are not pro Arab-Islam-Palestinian. A message suggesting the creation of a new religion based on Empathy and Loving Kindness (with no God, no prayer, no dogma, and no charimatic leader) was deleted by his moderators because it was considered hateful to Islam, even though the idea did not mention Islam or any other religion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.254.210.8 (talk) 21:06, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Problems creating an article

Hi,

I am trying to create an article for the Company I am working for, Involver: http://involver.com

It is a very famous brand and I have a lot of press sources to demonstrate it. I also received the authorization to create the article so I would like to know why it was removed when I created it and if you can give any tip to submit the article again without problems.

Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carloscgv (talk • contribs) 02:17, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

AWB edits

Hi. Regarding the edit you made on the article for Anne Drungis with AWB, all you did was move some white space. This is in contradiction of the rules of use for AWB (here), which states "Avoid making insignificant or inconsequential edits such as only adding or removing some white space". Thanks.

Adding news to a page

Hello,

In reference to Aviva Investors.

Correct me if I am wrong, but, Wikipedia is not a news channel and as such a page should not hold one news item. If I am wrong then a page should contain all news and not just one negative news item?

Regards,

Mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by AvivaEditor (talk • contribs) 15:26, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, Wikipedia is not a newspaper, and it should have a neutral point of view, but I undid your edit because you could have a conflict of interest due to your username. WikiPuppies! (bark) 15:31, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for responding.

I am pleased you agree that Wikipedia should have a neutral point of view, and I hope whether I have a 'conflict of interest' or not - that we could keep a neutral point of view?

Best regards,

Mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by AvivaEditor (talk • contribs) 15:37, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

You probably would not be able to keep a neutral point of view editing the Aviva Investors article, but you could keep an NPOV editing other articles not related to Aviva Investors. Also, I would suggest that you go here and request that your username be changed to something unique and non-promotional. Make sure to read this before requesting a username change, though. WikiPuppies! (bark) 15:43, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello,

Thank you for the advice.

With that in mind, could you please edit the 'point of view' out of the Aviva Investors Wikipedia page.

Best regards,

Mark — Preceding unsigned comment added by AvivaEditor (talk • contribs) 15:52, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Another editor already has, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. Do remember to sign your posts by typing ~~~~ after your comment, though. WikiPuppies! (bark) 15:54, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

AIV

Hello WikiPuppies - I notice that you have been responding to many of the reports at AIV. Although I understand that you are trying to be helpful, I'm concerned that by responding with the AIV templates admins patrolling for a backlog may not realize that the individual reports have not been reviewed by an admin (which results in some valid IP reports going stale). Perhaps you could use (Non-administrator comment) instead? In addition, you had marked a number of vandalism-only accounts as "Insufficient recent activity to warrant a block" and "User has been incorrectly or insufficiently warned". If it becomes apparent that a registered account is being used for vandalism only, they do not fall under the "account must be active now" that is required for unregistered users. In addition, they do not necessarily need to go through all levels of warnings prior to being blocked. Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 17:55, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Oops. I'll take heed of your advice, but I don't exactly intend to look at AIV much more today anyhow. Thanks! WikiPuppies! (bark) 17:57, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Your work in doing a first pass through the reports is certainly appreciated! It just looks a bit like everything's already been handled when admins check in, which may lead to some of the reports going stale or not being responded to. The nao template may help dispel any confusion . Cheers, Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 18:03, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
