Hi Jerry. I appreciate the message. You are right about the tables. I don't like to see all the butchered ones out there. I will continue to take up the cause. :) SubSeven 03:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Behave yourself and know your limits. You have no business to come and delete my contributions in the discussion place ok? Lots of people are contribution their emotions even and do not get deleted. Stop reverting me otherwise I will file a complain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by ArmenianNY (talk • contribs).

Please, file a complaint, I encourage it. SubSeven 19:47, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: 202.149.66.131

It appears that this IP address is being used strictly for mischief. It has been used to make two edits: the first to an article about a hip-hop performer that you've removed, and the second to place a sockpuppet template on my user page that I've removed. BobbyJRobby 16:13, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Chris Webber

Hey there, I noticed that you removed something regarding the Pistons' record on the Chris Webber article because of the fact that it would need to be updated daily. I put something back in because the way it was written was misleading and made it sound like Webber's addition to the Pistons wasn't so hot, when on the contrary, it's widely seen as a genius move by league insiders.

I wrote it in such a way that it shouldn't have to be updated constantly, but if you have any input, let me know. - Stick Fig 18:57, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Adding external links to the article on "fantasy baseball"

I've just added two external links to the "fantasy baseball" article and then noticed that I already seem to have a history on the topic, which I wasn't aware of. Short and sweet, I don't understand why I may not add a resource to an article that most people regard as one of the leading authorities in the field (to me, the poster's affiliation doesn't change the quality of a link). I run several other sites which are mediocre and would never get the idea to post them at Wikipedia (yes, that would be spam), but in this case I don't understand why I have received a spam warning from you.

And sorry for the readdition, I didn't mean to be respectless - if I had read the message for me right away, I wouldn't have done that (and if my links get deleted again I won't readd them).

Menyak 00:28, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi there. I don't know which link was yours, as I see nothing I reverted by a user named Menyak. Maybe you weren't logged in at the time. Anyway, Wikipedia guidelines state that editors should not introduce links to web sites that they maintain/work for. In these cases you should nominate the site for inclusion on the article's talk page (and be prepared to prove that it is indeed a leading authority). You can read the guideline here: WP:EL#Advertising_and_conflicts_of_interest and here is a link with further reading on the problems of Conflict of Interest within Wikipedia: WP:COI. SubSeven 02:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. How can one prove that a site is a leading authority? Take Wikipedia - probably one of the greatest resources on the Net, but if you ask the wrong people you will likely hear something different.

Menyak 08:29, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

I thought you had the answer for that :) since you mentioned your site is a leading authority. Generally, to prove that, you want a reliable, independent source that you can cite as saying so. That isn't an absolute requirement for an external link, (to be a leading authority that is, I just mentioned it because you brought it up) but in your case it would help a lot to justify your link. The external links guidelines page explains it better than I can. SubSeven 09:05, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, proving the obvious can often be surprisingly difficult. ;) I mean I can provide scans from Henry Lee's "Fantasy Baseball Strategy" or even "Penthouse Magazine" - just not sure if the "hey it's been in the papers" approach is a way to confirm true authority (or simply a route to come accross as spammy). Normally I'd just trust that enough fantasy baseball experts will come accross the article over time so it will eventually be added, on the other hand this article has been flooded with links last year, so if as a result all external links additions are simply shot down, I probably don't have to hold my breath.

Your comment on the missing warning templates for deleting vandalism warnings

I think there are a lot of vandal fighters who don't understand why the warning templates were deleted. Further, I can't seem to find the evidence that there was a consensus to delete them. On the contrary, I see almost unanimous support to keep them. Check out this. I would fully support a reopening of the debate on the topic. -- Mufka ^{(user) (talk) (contribs)} 21:57, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

"Bejeweled" music trivium

I don't know whjy you keep reverting this one -- it's genuine (as anyone knows who's played Bejeweled), and the latest reference thereto was carefully worded so as to fit the family-friendly nature of Wikipedia (unlike an edit to it done by someone, which I promptly reverted)... 86.144.203.58 17:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

It's not due to any family-friendlyness or lack thereof, it's just that it's lame trivia that could never be properly cited. (see WP:ATT) SubSeven 19:46, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Frank Mir

Hi I'm the user Takedashingen620, and I was wondering what this meant -"Revert to revision 113901045 dated 2007-03-09 19:56:42 by Takedashingen620 using popups"- its what you put for the edit summary when you edited the Frank Mir page, was there a problem?

Thanks, Jesse.

March 10, 2007.

It means that someone vandalized the page, so I rolled back to your edit, which was the last 'good' version of the article. --SubSeven 03:03, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.

Fantasy Baseball

Hi, I am semi-new to wiki but earlier today I added a site that I write for, only to have it removed. I am just learning the whole talk thing. I didn't realize I was getting warnings or doing something wrong. By the way, why does a non-working Fantasy 411 link and a link to rotowire which is a pay site stay up? Also, I have never heard of fantasy 411 and I have been covering fantasy sports for years.

Thank you.

Also, the site I added followed all the guidelines "what should be linked" and falls under none of the "links normally to be avoided". The site address is rotostuds.com. Please explain the exclusion.

Hi. Please read the following section of the External Link guidelines: WP:External links#Advertising_and_conflicts_of_interest. --SubSeven 01:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I have read the section and realize because I write for the site that there is a conflict of interest. Can you give me to where I should nominate it?

Talk:Fantasy baseball. --SubSeven 18:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Bughouse

Hi, I was wondering why you reverted my edit of the bughouse article. The original was

Chess online is primarily run by FICS and the Internet Chess Club.

and I changed it into

The most popular place for online bughouse is FICS.

There are several things wrong with the original. Firstly, the statement is wrong, chess is by no means primarily run on FICS and ICC (definitely not FICS, Yahoo and Playchess are definitely more popular). Secondly, this is a bughouse article, why should it mention the popularity of chess servers? The statement is also wrong if the author of the original meant "bughouse online" instead of "chess online", since FICS is the place where 99% of all bughouse online chess is played (see the bughouse talk page and bughouse-db.org for statistics on how many bughouse games are played per day). In bughouse popularity ICC is about equal with Chess Live, last time I checked.

regards,

voorlandt

You're right that the original does need work. I just thought your edit was unnecessarily partisan in only mentioning FICS. --SubSeven 00:01, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I'll randomly insert this.
