Joseph Farah

Thank you. Off2riorob (talk) 13:56, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, I was wondering if you could not semi-p Joseph Farah. I've been working on that article for over a month, and protection prevents me from continuing to do so. One troublesome IP address hardly seems to justify indef protection. Maybe drop it back to a couple of hours or a day? 24.177.120.138 (talk) 15:15, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps you would create an account to edit there. The repeating of vandalism that created a complaint to the foundation and legal threat to the en wikipedia project is not an option. Off2riorob (talk) 15:21, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't talking to you, Rob. 24.177.120.138 (talk) 15:25, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, it seems like it would have been sufficient to just block the offending IP address. Vandalism on that article has actually been few and far-between recently. 24.177.120.138 (talk) 15:29, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, BLP concerns trump other considerations in this case. You (24.177.120.138) have edit-warred repeatedly to insert contentious material into the article, and semi-protection seems to be the only way to force you and the other IP to discuss your edits. You may request unprotection at Wikipedia:Requests for page protection#Current requests for unprotection. Dabomb87 (talk) 17:35, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
BLP concerns can be addressed by blocking the problematic editor. Your edit warring allegation is way off-base, and the equivalency you're implying between my contributions and that of an obvious vandal is insulting. Please redact and reconsider. 24.177.120.138 (talk) 03:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I did not mean to imply that you are a vandal (and my apologies if you took it that way). However, you did repeatedly insert material considered by other editors to be contentious[1][2], and I protected the article as a preventive measure. As I said, if you would like the article to be unprotected, feel free to request unprotection at WP:RFUP. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:23, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for the apology. While the material is indeed controversial, two diffs 36 hours apart hardly constitutes edit warring. I'd suggest that the 3 1/2 days that transpired between the content being removed by User:Dayewalker and your protection of the article, and the ongoing discussions on Talk:Joseph Farah and WP:BLP/N demonstrate that there was no need for you to "force" me to discuss my edits. I wonder if you are aware of the ongoing conflict between myself and User:Off2riorob that predates his (IMO misleading) request for page protection? Anyway, I do intend to seek review at WP:RFUP, but, per the instructions on that article, I'd like to request one last time that you, the protecting admin, reconsider the protection. 24.177.120.138 (talk) 03:34, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I am not aware of the "history" between you two, but I don't think it would have affected my judgement as I made my decision solely based on the history of one article. Thank you for staying calm when reasoning with me here, but I will pass on unprotecting and leave it up to another uninvolved admin to do as they think best. Good night. Dabomb87 (talk) 03:38, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for your consideration. I have brought the issue to WP:RFUP. Good night. 24.177.120.138 (talk) 03:54, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

List of awards and nominations received by Madonna

Dear Dabomb, how are you? I was developing the above page for FL here when some thoughts struck my mind. First of all, I haven't included the Razzie awards in the list as TRM said somewhere that they are not industry officiated awards, and not needed. Secondly, the list also contains recognitions like "Most successfiul artist of decade" etc. So do I need to rename teh actual list name to List of awards, nominations and recognitions received by Madonna? What is your opinion on this? I just wanted to ask because I dont wanna cclog up FLC and then answer all these questions backloggin git further. Regards, — Legolas (talk2me) 05:48, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The naming conventions for awards lists have been discussed several times, though I can't seem to find any of the most recent discussions. Based on Category:Lists of awards by musician, the consensus seems to be that "List of awards and nominations received by X" is the most common name, and I think you'll be fine leaving it at that even if some of the included "awards" are actually honors or recognitions. As for the Razzies, I've never seen them in an awards list for artists, so I'll go with TRM's opinion and say they aren't necessary. Dabomb87 (talk) 20:48, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks a lot Dabomb. — Legolas (talk2me) 05:02, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dan Savage bibliography

Hey Dabomb87, I hope you are doing well. :) I was wondering if you could have a look at Dan Savage bibliography. Eisfbnore (talk · contribs) has reviewed it over and made some suggestions, and thinks its quality is ready for FLC. However he said he did not have much FLC experience, so I wanted to run it by you — do you think it is ready for consideration, and/or does it make sense to go for a Peer Review first, with this one? -- Cirt (talk) 18:36, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I think I will just go ahead with Peer Review, first. :) Cheers, -- Cirt (talk) 19:01, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Decided to do Peer Review first, now at Wikipedia:Peer review/Dan Savage bibliography/archive1. Feel free to comment. -- Cirt (talk) 19:05, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pigeon photography

Hi, you just created Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 6, 2011, scheduling Pigeon photography as TFA for June 6. Fortunately I noticed this because you also protected the article. Apparently Raul is not aware of this. See User talk:Raul654#Preventing an article from becoming TFA on the wrong date? and User talk:Raul654#Pigeon photography. Hans Adler 15:35, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, I was not aware that you would like it saved for April Fools'. Thanks for the heads up. Dabomb87 (talk) 16:38, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
And I wasn't aware that Raul had delegated some more of his work, or I might have told you in advance. Congratulations to your new job! Hans Adler 16:58, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! As you can see, I'm still learning the ropes. Sorry for the inconvenience. Dabomb87 (talk) 18:28, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Walton and Johnson

Hello. You recently sent me a warning about being engaged in an edit war. I have been attempting to update and keep intact the page Walton and Johnson. Another user has been consistently removing cited information and making bogus claims on the article's talk page (such as that the article contains links to blogs, that the article calls its' subject names, etc). I applied for protection earlier today, but it has not been granted as yet and the user continues to edit the page. If you could lend a hand it would be of great help.209.34.48.230 (talk) 21:09, 3 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
