In general, I will respond here to comments, rather than on your talk page, so that the conversation isn't scattered.

Thank you for the block on the IP who vandalized Eddie Francis. PK T(alk) 13:47, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks. I'm glad to help out. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:57, 2 October 2014 (UTC)

Another disruptor

Could you also see this case, admin? Thanks. --Why should I have a User Name? (talk) 19:49, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

I'm not familiar with the editing history of the article involved. Does it seem to you that these two usernames are operated by the same individual? If so, maybe filing a sock puppet report at WP:SPI would be the way to go. -- Ed (Edgar181) 19:59, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

Port of Waterford

Hello Edgar, why did you remove my perfectly legitimate poem about the above? If you had read it, you would see that they built the port right on top of where I was born! So what could be more appropriate than my poem? You have done this with all my edits & even accused me of vandalism in one case! What a cheek! A number of times I have contributed to Wikipedia only to be treated like this! It is totally unacceptable! John Keogh. Please reply to [email protected] Johnkeojon (talk) 22:41, 4 October 2014 (UTC)

I honesty can't tell if you're joking or not, so I'll just be direct. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and its articles are not an appropriate forum for posting your poetry. Therefore, it shouldn't be surprising to you that your edits are essentially indistinguishable from intentional vandalism and treated as such. -- Ed (Edgar181) 00:50, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

I most certainly was not joking, mate! You will get no more donations from me! In fact, you can refund those that I have made! JK. Johnkeojon (talk) 07:44, 6 October 2014 (UTC)

Refs on talkpage

Regarding [1], not sure if you were aware of {{reflist talk}} (and just don't like it) or if you weren't aware of that technical solution. DMacks (talk) 13:23, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

I wasn't aware of that template and have never seen it used. Thanks for letting me know! -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:31, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Re: User:49.151.99.152 block

Hi. Thanks for the quick block. May I request that the block for this IP be extended and his rights to edit his talk page to be disabled? After the block, he's now beginning to troll it. See this edit. Thanks. -WayKurat (talk) 13:54, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

I already removed talk page access. Usually for an IP-hopping troll such as this a short block on IP addresses is all that is needed, because they just move on to other ones fairly quickly. If there is a history in this case of sticking with IP addresses for longer, please let me know and I'll extend the block length. Thanks for your efforts in dealing with this editor. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:57, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Re: Malusia22

You might as well want to revdel the edits Mal made to Lisa Canning, Abandoned footwear, Space Sheriff Sharivan and WayKurat's talk page, especially as at least some of them were laced with Filipino obscenities directed at Way or whatever user he might come across with. Blake Gripling (talk) 14:18, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, there is just one edit summary that includes Filipino obscenities (perhaps a death threat?). I have applied revdel to that, but the rest of the edits seem to be just copies of Wikipedia:Long-term abuse/Malusia22 which wouldn't qualify for revdel. If I am mistaken and have missed something, please let me know. Thanks for your help. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:27, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

racism

i didnt call him as a racist because he disagrees with me.. he just used 'Ataturk' who is founder of Turkey. we are talking about history of Magnetism but he was talking about our Leader!! tell me now. who is racist?

lets talk about Magnesium's history: as you can see there are three places named Magnesia. one of them is a Region in Greece.. but two of them are cities in Turkey (Manisa and Aydın). And Magnesia is came from Magnetism.. on the Mount Spil (Spiylum) there is some magnetism. that s why the citizens (ancient Magnesia people) called it Magnetism/Magnesia..

and i saw that u wrote a reference about region of greece.. i cant accept any reference that can be changeable by any user! nobody accept it! you have to use scientific sources as a reference!!

edit: maybe this link is useful for you: http://physics.info/magnetism/

That is no excuse for calling someone a racist. If you would like to present an argument based on reliable references that there is an error in the article, please feel free to do so at Talk:Magnesium. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:31, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
