I think is a very plausible redirection. In my country, when people speaks English they often refer to Him as "The Impostor". Do you live in an Arab country? |

That was not vandalism on Chase Utley.
Explanation requested. Faethon Ghost (talk) 02:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- It was unsourced. You wrote "He helped the Phillies reach the 2008 NLCS." in this edit. How did he do that, exactly? Did his fielding, his personal best 33 home runs in the regular season, or his personal best 104 runs in the regular season help the most? — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:48, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- Not every bad edit is vandalism. Be a little more discerning. Dicklyon (talk) 04:35, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- OK. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:38, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
- I have explained it in more detail how he helped them get to the playoffs. Please feel free to add citations and improve the initial edit instead of reverting the edit and shouting vandalism. Faethon Ghost (talk) 23:26, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
I didn't mean to delete the page. My sister got a hold of my computer while I was doing things. I'll make sure it doesn't happen again. Rawr chlorene (talk) 22:26, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please logout when you are done using your computer. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:30, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello Jeff G.. Thanks for the newpages patrol! Regarding Smallville IMDb Message Board which you tagged for speedy deletion as a repost, I just wanted to drop by to tell you that CSD G4 only applies to pages previously deleted after discussion, at an XfD forum such as at AfD. It does not apply to pages that were only previously speedy deleted, as this article was. Note also that even when an article was previously deleted on the merits, G4 is only applicable where the reposted article is substantially identical to the deleted version and any changes in the recreated page do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted. Cheers. Terrillja (talk) 05:18, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for that info. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Regarding your reversion to California Proposition 8 (2008)

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
- Thanks for the notice, I replied there. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 19:26, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Eli Mattson reverts
I wanted to thank you for reverting edits by Elimattsonfan on the Eli Mattson page. A reliable person seems to have started this page and Elimattsonfan has been messing with it on and off since then. I and several others have posted legitimate edits and I notice others have reverted her posts also. She has changed mine several times. I run a fansite for Eli which is endorsed by him and his family. Anything I post is accurate unless I simply make a mistake. Her fansite is awful and innacurate and she has even started a website using Eli's name which she should not be doing - she was not given that right. I was reading up on blocking users but this is all so confusing as I am new to Wikipedia. Btw my fansite is myspace.com/fansofelimattson Wikiexpander (talk) 06:25, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, the level 4 warning I put on Elimattsonfan's user talk page seems to have sufficed for now. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:58, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Can you stop telling me not to edit this page? I'm not violating NPOV when the public and media consensus of the company is that it is a scam company, merely correcting a page that is so generous in its wording that I have to believe it was started by OESC or some other subsidiary internally. By the way, in deleting my edits, you also reverted a paragraph in the 'Info' section that was cited to the Toronto Star. So back off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.201.151 (talk) 20:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- "leading me to label the company's buying opportunities as as scam" in this edit is blatantly your point of view. Please document your allegations on the talk page before putting them on the article page. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 20:45, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
That was a typo, I reverted the edit to "leading many to believe" before it was subsequently reversed. Can I continue now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.201.151 (talk) 20:48, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Who are these "many"? Also, if you are in fact The Thought-Fox, as you claimed in this edit, please login. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 20:53, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Many are the citations I was going to provide, though I admittedly should've been using the sandbox. Can I get on that now? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.224.201.151 (talk) 20:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. Are you in fact The Thought-Fox? Please sign your posts and use Edit Summaries. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:00, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Jeff, thanks for being quick to revert edits, particularly ones that are blatant vandalism, but the one you reverted of mine shouldn't have been changed. ~Jonathan (talk) 22:55, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
- Please read WP:MOS. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:57, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Hai!
Awesome job workin' at WP:AIV! Keep up the great work! :) Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 00:38, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you very much, MoP! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:39, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- No problem! :) Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 00:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
This is not vandalism - it is a valid entry properly cited.
On December 21, 1997, Barack Obama wrote a short review [1][2][3] of William Ayers’ book A Kind and Just Parent: The Children of Juvenile Court[4], which had recently been published by Beacon Press.
- Perhaps if you actually cited the Chicago Tribune review and the Zomblog documenting it, your contribution would be more acceptable. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 00:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

Long Beach Motor Inn Removal
You placed my wiki page on the Long Beach Motor Inn on the deletion list before I was able to finish it. Please give us writers a small amount of time, especially us new people, so we may cite our references before proposing deletion. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tomblights00 (talk • contribs) 02:32, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Pleave give us new page patrollers well-formed, referenced articles on notable topics. Also, please sign your posts and Edit Summaries. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 02:57, 20 October 2008 (UTC)

You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
- Thanks for the notice. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:02, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- I fixed your error on Joan Collins as well. The mudlark person looks to be a newer user that was trying to wikilink a movie title appropriately, and took several tries to do it. You used "rollback + huggle" to remove their good faith non-vandalistic edits (it took mudlark several attempts to wikilink correctly). Perhaps instead of an impersonal (and incorrect) vandal warning, you could've helped the user find a resource for wikilinking properly, which he/she did successfully (eventually?). Thanks for removing the warning from my IP talkpage. 75.161.233.85 (talk) 04:05, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Blair
Don't be too quick to bandy about the term "vandalism". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Deal_(2003_film)#Cast
Tony Blair was born in Scotland and spent his early years there. That is a matter of fact and public record. 202.130.159.184 (talk) 04:51, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- My edit had nothing to do with where Tony Blair was born. Looking at it more closely I find your spelling more correct for this purpose. Sorry. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 04:59, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
thanks MatthewYeager 05:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- It would be nice if I knew why you were thanking me. :) — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:18, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- revert on my talk page. MatthewYeager 06:35, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- In that case, you're welcome! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:53, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism on Metroid
- Simply put, I put in my reason for doing it the 2nd time around, which was considered vandalism. Which makes no sense, thank you. Bother to read the summary, that'd be nice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.215.179.232 (talk) 05:50, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry for the second warning, I didn't read your edit summary closely enough. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:49, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Citation
Hi Jeff G. -
I didn't mean to remove content; I used a template incorrectly. Where do I read how to typeset an offset quotation? Feketekave (talk) 05:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- I fixed it - see this edit. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:42, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
T-Pain edit
Hi Jeff. -
What did i do? It was at the grammys so i put wrote that it was in the Grammys, what's the problem?? (talk) 22:55, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, people usually change captions at the same exact time as they change images. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:31, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Here you reported a user to AIV despite the fact that his edits were not vandalism. Please take greater care when reverting, warning and reporting others. لennavecia 22:03, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, please see above. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism? J'ACCUSE!!!
Hi there JEFF, this is VASCO from PORTUGAL,
I have been an editor for almost 2 years (on the 22nd i will have my "WIKI-birthday") and, after having my share of reverted vandalism (a gigantic one i might add) and other issues, i decided to revert to my anonymous user account (217.129.67.28), also deciding to act like an anonymous philantropist, letting my deeds speak for itself, that being why i almost never write an edit summary anymore. Is it WRONG? I do not think so...
Speaking of which: You reverted two of my edits, this(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antonio_Guayre) and this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roberto_Canella), saying that the latter had been VANDALIZED by me? I urge you, my fellow user, to check this article's edit summary and also my story of editing (i repeat, user nº 217.129.67.28) to see how much i have tried, edit summaries or not, to improve the site.
Could your message be a misunderstading due to the fact i am anonymous (i had to log in to leave you this message, but work almost entirely logged out)? I hope so...
From Portugal, regards and a nice week,
VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 01:05, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Vasco, and thank you for posting here. Regarding the first edit, Template:Football player infobox AKA Template:Infobox Football biography says in plaintext:
- "Senior club appearances and goals
- counted for the domestic league only and
- correct as of {{{pcupdate}}}."
- You wrote "pcupdate = 31 October 2008", which was in the future when it was still "20 October 2008 (UTC)". I disputed that as factually impossible, and therefore a type of vandalism. Regarding the second edit, you did the same thing but with wikilinks, in that you wrote "pcupdate = [[October 31]], [[2008]]" (I added the nowiki tags). Such dates should be when the editor last verified the information (that date or a date in the recent past), not some date in the future. I would have done the same for a logged-in user. I stand by my warnings - you should not be misrepresenting current information as correct for 11 days into the future, or for any positive number of days into the future for that matter. And if I can't trust your dates, how can I trust the rest of the information in those edits? — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 10:50, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
He did the same to me a second ago just because I removed an unnessacary citiaion needed tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.249.95.247 (talk) 11:16, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
- Why was that "citiaion(sic) needed tag" "unnessacary(sic)"? Why did you remove it without explanation? Please check your spelling, sign your posts, use Edit Summaries, and create an account. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 16:42, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Revert
You reverted me on Talk:Breast cancer here, I hope you saw the previous jibberish by this anon contributor. --Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 16:43, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
- I was only looking at that anon's edit and your wholesale revert of it. There were some germs of opinion and advice in it, and out of respect I thought it best to keep the paragraph and trash the fumbling, especially on a talk page. I think that anon's actions to date have been more fumbling than vandalism, so I don't think WP:RBI applies to that anon. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:00, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
PCupdates - Response
Hi there JEFF, VASCO here again,
Thanks for your reply/technical info, i can perfectly understand that point of view, now i will "defend" myself:
I tend to update regularly on footballer infoboxes and storylines. Since the spanish league has only 1 more round to go in this month, i opted to insert the final date of the month. Anyways, rest assured, stats will be TOTALLY updated by the end of each season.
Regarding the statement "...if I can't trust your dates, how can I trust the rest of the information in those edits?" i fail to see the relation, because i did not present any storyline bit further than the day i, the person in the article and pretty much the rest of the planet were in (the 20th October 2008) and, i stress it again (never enough), all of my storyline info is always well-intended and 100% reliable (even when not referenced, which occurs when i can not find anything online to back my edits up).
Keep up the good work, sorry for any misunderstandings,
From PORTUGAL, VASCO AMARAL - --NothingButAGoodNothing (talk) 17:38, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
- PLEASE don't use any date past the current date for pcupdate and ntupdate. Thanks! — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 21:36, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
