[edit] Your question on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism

Hi Grover, welcome to Wikipedia! Regarding your question on AIV - there are robots that do anti-vandalism work, but for the most part it's done by real people. It's hard for robots to catch sneaky vandalism, like changing dates or names here and there - they usually remove things like page blankings, swear words or replacing articles with nonsense. Humans do this too, but they're also needed to catch the masses of vandalism that the bots miss. For more information, you can check out Wikipedia:Recent changes patrol and Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit.

Also, AIV is for reporting vandalism, not asking questions, but you can do that on the talk page. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask me! Cheers, – Riana ^ঋ 08:32, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daffodil Daniel article

Hi GroverTheGnome. Thank you for your recent contributions. However, please do not remove {{db}} tags, as you did to the Daffodil Daniel article. Your initial edit placing the {{hangon}} template on the page was right way to do it. Thanks and welcome to Wikipedia! -Cquan 08:37, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I had a feeling...frankly I haven't seen any other editors named "Grover" and your choice of vocabulary is somewhat distinctive. In all honesty, I'm keeping an eye on you and your edits. I hope you have taken to heart the input you've recieved previously from other editors. Keep in mind that using this account to circumvent a block and persist in disputed activities qualifies this account as a sock puppet, which is not allowed. I am not going to report this out of good faith, but please be mindful of your edits. Thanks and good luck. -Cquan 08:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with the speedy deletion because "sledgewadding" or "tractorsipia" are patently nonsense. The rest of the article has no context, and violates WP:OR and WP:CRYSTAL by talking about a character in an unpublished story. Even if the story were published, WP:N would need to be established for the character. The purported magazine does not seem to have an internet presence either, which seriously cripples any claim you can make towards WP:V. Regards. Neier 08:49, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia's Brutal Authoritarianism

Wikipedia is no longer home to common human beings who want to keep the world informed about relevant and ready facts worthy of an encyclopedia. The strange dichotomy of truisms and distrust quite frankly revolts me. You should all be ashamed of yourselves.

Just a note to all the other editors, myself included: remember, Don't bite the newcomers! Now, as for the above article, you should have a look at Wikipedia:Notability, which goes over the baseline criteria for an article of this type to be included. Also, on a more general note, if you want to create an article, try to create as comprehensive and detailed an article as you can with lots of reliable sources where possible and not just a few sentences of quickly thought up content. I'm sorry to see that you're having trouble with the Wikipedia culture. Given the trouble you seem to be experiencing, you might want to consider putting the {{helpme}} tag on your talk page. An editor will hopefully be able to help you out in getting adjusted. Remember, keep an open mind and have faith that things will work out. -Cquan 09:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

>>>>>>>>>>>>>><wiki BS faux-html BR goddamnit>>>>>A mind as open as Wikipedia Adminnazis is not an open mind at all, I posit. I agree with you statement about the notability issue. I simply reject Notability at its most fundamental level as being a pre-requisite for encyclopedia articles on The "Inter-Net". I reject it out of hand.GroverTheGnome 09:31, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
