User talk:Shazbot85

I'm banned for some reason because of my use of this IP. This IP is at a university...I'm not sure what's going on.

Probably a member of the university has vandalised Wikipedia, and got the IP blocked. As you are using the same IP, you are also blocked. It's an unfortunate byproduct of the blocking system. If you are using AOL, your IP address changes regularly, so you will be able to edit again soon. —Daniel (‽) 19:58, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not using AOL. This has been this way for some time. -Shazbot85 20:02, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can try using an {{Template:unblock}} template if you've been blocked mistakenly. Unfortunately schools tend to find some jerk who will abuse Wikipedia and ruin the privilege for innocent bystanders :( —Keakealani •Poke Me•contribs• 09:45, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding your email: I think things should be fine. Persons on wikipedia don't get punished for the sins of others, except as collateral damage. Your edit history shows you are a constructive editor who respects policy, and as long as that remains true, all should be well. Feel free to call on me if you need me. (Note that I don't often check that email address, so it's better to write directly on my talk page.) --Anthony Krupp 13:36, 21 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anyway to find information on creating user boxes on my page, or for creating the box that constitutes the table of contents on some other pages I've seen? -Shazbot85 23:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BOX is a good place to start if you want information about userboxes. As for the Table of Contents, I believe that it is created automatically when the page reaches a certain number of headers. I don't know if it's possible to create a Table of Contents manually, so sorry I can't help you with that one. —Keakealani •Poke Me•contribs• 00:01, 16 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External sources on Danny Yee

I added a good chunk, as you requested in the AfD. Would you take a look, and re-think your AfD comment? LotLE×talk 05:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I greatly appreciate your willingness to look at the notability issue a second time in light of my expanded description. I still think the article could be improved further, but I believe with several requests on the same lines from AfD commentors, I've greatly improved the quality of the biography over the last day. All the best, LotLE×talk 07:13, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Meat puppet?

Acusations abound, that I am some sort of extension of Kmaquir1 because I was involved in some deletion discussions that he was involved in. I didn't even vote the same way as him because I totally disagree in some instances. Anything I can do to stop this crap? -Shazbot85^Talk 07:12, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, Shazbot85. We have observed similar behavior from Kmaguir1 in the recent past, so I took your vote with an initial excess of suspicion, simply because you attend the same school as Kmaguir1, have many similar interests, and had never voted in AfDs prior to his nominations. However, having seen your subsequent AfD votes—and especially your open-minded willingness to revisit an expanded article—I certainly do not think any such thing of you.

I am a bit curious whether your AfD interst was motivated by an invitation from Kmaguir1; to be clear, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that if so. I, and most editors, frequently pay attention to specific issues at the invitation of other editors we have worked with. The only time it becomes inappropriate is when collusion replaces independent judgement, which is obviously not the case with you, even if you do personally know Mr. Maguire. All the best, LotLE×talk 07:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I already replied on my own Talk page, but will add that this came up because of an anonymous IP vote. Usually on wikipedia, when an IP makes its very first contribution in an AfD vote, that is incredibly suspicious, and the cloud of suspicion can take a while to disperse. Your editing history shows different patterns than Kmaguir1, as well as the reasonableness and constructive additions that he has mostly (not entirely) failed to demonstrate.--Anthony Krupp 11:44, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfC for Kmaguir1

As you'll have seen, there is a Request for Comment on Kmaguir1's conduct. Since you have been observing things, I wanted to let you know about this and invite you to comment on section three of that page, if you are so inclined. Feel free to copy the paragraph you just left on his page. Of course you should state whatever you think (as you have elsewhere). The page is here: Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Kmaguir1. Best,--Anthony Krupp 23:11, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I see that you can respond in one of three spots: at 1.6 if you support the summary, at 2 if you think the summary is unfair, or at 3 if you want to give an outside perspective.--Anthony Krupp 23:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

David Jeremiah

I stumbled upon this AfD tonight and wanted your opinion. I'm trying to clean up the article and you seem to know what you are doing, any help would be appreciated. Bagginator 04:00, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Some come from unknown publishers or no publishers. Getting a self published book sold on Amazon and B&N is very easy. Two examples 1) This one by David Jeremiah at Amazon.com is a new hardback for $6.00 with no publisher listed. 2) "DJ Publications" does not seem like a reputable publisher with 137 yahoo hits.

Shazbot85, instead of making snide remarks [1] expand the article and prove notablity. Arbusto 06:07, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DelEx

Why when others have done so handily? Shazbot85^Talk 06:12, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not one person has expanded the article. Not one person, other than a google count and amazon.com count, has provided any reason for notablity. And lastly, being civil is highly important. Arbusto 06:14, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

At the very least, the radio broadcasts prove notability to me. And I agree, civility is key and withdraw my comment. Shazbot85^Talk 06:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I explained, that is a claim made by the pastor on his radio website. How about a independent source to prove it? If he is notable that should be easy to find. Arbusto 06:16, 5 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
