Vandalism Note

[edit]

Please note that User:Ttonyb1 has vandalized the references that were originally part of this well-referenced article which I wrote. Apparently, he did this out of what he must have thought were good intentions but is clearly illiteracy. For some reason, and I am glad he is not a scholastic, although he apparently intercedes in much of Wikipedia with article deletions and other intervening efforts, he misunderstood that a Bibliography is not the same as ones notes/references. From that illiteracy, he removed all of the iterations of references so he could leave a table with each of the newspaper articles cited in the article. However, each time the article was cited as referential support, having been cited already, he removed its reference. So now the article needs to be recreated. How many other articles that this person damaged similarly? If one has never written a scholastically based article or doesn't know how they are composed, one should not inflict their lack of knowledge. Someone should advise this person to contribute in some other way, where they can be helpful but not destructive. No wonder this person has been vandalized (apparently many times) on their userpage... Stevenmitchell (talk) 17:37, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As explained in the warning I left to Stevenmitchell for this utterly unacceptable personal attack, this looks to have been a malfunction in the Reflinks tool, which is supposed to take bare URLs and generate proper {{citation}}s from them. I've now done this manually, and warned Stevenmitchell that any further comments like the one above will see him blocked.
