Hi. When you recently edited Totenkopf, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages German and Skull and crossbones (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've reported our discussion to Wikiquette Assistance Notice of Wikiquette Assistance discussion

Hello, Trofobi. This message is being sent to inform you that a discussion is taking place at Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance regarding I did say I'd have to check where to report trolling.... The thread is {{{Wikipedia:Wikiquette assistance}}}#Talk:Broadsword_.28disambiguation.29.23August_2012_cleanupThe discussion is about the topic Broadsword_(disambiguation). Thank you. --ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 16:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC) I found the pages regarding how to report Wikiquette Assistance, and how to make this notice to be in need of a bit more clarification, so I may have made a few mistakes in the process of the report and/or the above notice.--ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 16:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Yep, totally fucked up the notice. Well, you can check Wikipedia:WQA#Talk:Broadsword_.28disambiguation.29.23August_2012_cleanup, Wikipedia:Dispute_resolution and Wikipedia:Etiquette for more info.--ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 16:42, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Please move these answers & accusations to the WQA-noticeboard, I will react there. --Trofobi (talk) 00:04, 14 September 2012 (UTC)
If you think they're relevant, just mention them on the noticeboard ...or if you don't want them here, you have my permission to move them there, as long as you copy all of it (except for the first row, as it'd create another section) and say where it's from. Either way you have my permission to remove this section of your talk page ...but as it's your own talk page, you don't really need my permission anyway.--ZarlanTheGreen (talk) 00:23, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Hello. This message is being sent to inform you that there is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Dispute resolution noticeboard regarding a content dispute in which you may have been involved.

BTW, would you like to get a little help improving your user page's statement at de:Benutzer:Widefox to match your babel level? --Trofobi (talk) 14:18, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
you mean something like "finden Sie auf meiner Webseite"? haven't logged into in ages. Widefox; talk 22:02, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
Well... not really... rather something like "Mein Hauptprofil ist: [[]]" or "Besuchen Sie meine englische Benutzerseite" (but Siezen is rather uncommon among German Wikipedians) or "Besuch mich im en.wiki: [[]]" or "Ich bin nicht so oft hier, sondern meistens dort: [[]]" or "Mein Hauptaccount ist in der englischsprachigen Wikipedia: [[]]" would sound like you knew German better. --Trofobi (talk) 07:34, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

RBLR

Hi,

I notice you have reported me to the Edit Warring notice board, and I have read your reasoning. I understand where you are coming from, but feel you have made an error. You have assumed that the edits are from one person, using multiple IP's.

This is the problem of open editting.

The Royal British Legion Riders Branch has 6000 members, and a short while ago one of the members commented on our forum that the Wikipedia entry was listing us as a motorcycle club.

This has resulted in a number of members making a number of edits independantly, so looking like a vandalism attack. If you have an open edit policy then this will happen from time to time.

Your colleague Dennis Bratland has explained to me about the definition of 'club' used by the motorcycle section of wikipedia, and I understand your view. However, the other 6000 members do not understand as it is not clear to all.

I have suggested a paragraph be inserted in the 'RBLR page', (rather than changing the 'list of clubs' page) to clarify where the RBLR fits in the club terminology, however Dennis removed this. I have queried his decision with him.

I understand why you do not desire undiscussed changes on the generic motorcycle pages, but many people are not aware of the edit process (myself included, but learning fast) and so I expect this to re-occur from time to time.

I will place a notice on our forum requesting that they do not make changes, but send views to me. This should reduce the edits.

May I then request that either yourself or Dennis enter discussion with me to bring the RBLR page up to date.

Yours

Steve Garth Webmaster RBLR

Draft:Plastic Planet

Hello. When I was today searching for references to write about the film "Plastic Planet" I found this translation in progress by you. I want to inform that, as I can't understand Deutsch and your "article under construction" doesn't cite sources, I needed to search more on the web for english fiable information. This information is avaiable in the article on Portuguese Wikipedia: pt:Plastic Planet (filme). Maybe you're interested in use it to create an article here, in English Wikipedia.--MisterSanderson (talk) 03:09, 17 April 2013 (UTC)

Oh, hi! Sorry for the late answer... Yes, thanks a lot for your work in pt.wiki and for posting the link here! - I hope I'll find some time soon to go on with the translation. :) --Trofobi (talk) 12:54, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

I have reverted your edits to Emmelie de Forest. Please do not reinsert.

Trofobi, text about Emmelie de F's supposed "promotion" of herself as a descendant of Queen Victoria has already been removed several times from the article for reasons related to Wikipedia's policy regarding biographies of living persons, and the earlier times it wasn't even as offensively phrased as the text you have added. I presume you weren't aware of the earlier problems and meant no harm, but if you study the article history and the talkpage, you will see it. I have blocked one person over this issue; please read my warnings and block message to that user here:, as I'm getting a little tired of repeating the arguments. I'm sure you meant no harm, but don't reinsert the material. I don't have time now, but tomorrow I will look more carefully at the sources for E de F's involvement in the "nazi uniforms" issue; at a glance they look unimpressive, so I've temporarily removed that paragraph as well as the "Queen Victoria" one. I may reinsert the second paragraph tomorrow, if I'm satisfied with the sources on a closer look. Sorry to come on so strong, but Wikipedia isn't in the business of harming the subjects of biographical articles. Bishonen | talk 23:51, 20 May 2013 (UTC).

A barnstar for you!

The Defender of the Wiki Barnstar
Eventhough You consider my approach to Emmelie de Forest's unscrupulous claims too harsh, I'd like to thank You for hard and dangerous work on fighting her aficionados. twitter.com/YOMALSIDOROFF (talk) 14:22, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
Oh, thank you, that's very nice :) Actually I'm quite a bit of an Emmelie-fan myself, that's why I regard it important to have this info in the article in a neutral way. --Trofobi (talk) 04:04, 24 June 2013 (UTC)

IP edit

Yes, this is me. i added my actual user name link to those edits, for clarity. thanks for catching that, i hadnt thought about how easy it would be to just identify as a random user when editing from an IP. especially ironic considering the article subject :) .Mercurywoodrose (talk) 02:41, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process.

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

    We sat down with the writers of some of the most vistied Wikipedia articles

UAA

As a general rule, potentially problematic usernames get reported to WP:RFCN. Responses vary; the policy and guidelines are not mindlessly or even very consistently enforced. But a reasonably correct response is that productive editors are kept unless the name is so absolutely blatant ("User:Buy software at MyWebsite.com today!") that nobody can stand it. (The approach to editors who are disrupting articles is different.)

The reasons for this are basically practical. Most common names and words are trademarked business or product names – so many that it's hard to find a new company name – and we don't want to limit editors to names that don't match any business anywhere. Also, just because someone picked a name doesn't mean that they meant to reference any particular thing. To give one example, it could refer to the editor's real name, favorite theater, favorite beer, etc. – or even more than one thing. And, importantly, merely referencing something that's interesting to you isn't "promotion". "User:ILoveMyiPhone" could be okay, if the editor is being useful. It's even okay to edit the article about something that's so interesting to you that it figures in your username – regardless of whether that subject is apples or Apple, Inc.
