Wikipedia talk:Suspected sock puppets/Carfiend

message: :Well, the problem is that this is a common tactic used by others on the page:
Evidence of tag teaming to keep User:Numskll under 3RR.
*Numskll revert
*Numskll revert
*Numskll revert
*...wait for it! Wahkeenah revert!
Note that the timing of both these editorial maneuvers is completely coincident. Numskll stops editing at exactly the point where he would be violating 3RR and Wahkeenah comes in and starts making edits that follow Numskll's patterns in an uncanny way.
Note that Numskll and Wahkeenah use almost identical arguments in the discussion. Since they agree with each other, and make 'supporting edits', I am inclined to treat them de facto as meatpuppets, it may be time for the community to act de jure. To be serious, what you've picked out here is a distressing feature of edit wars. You have shown examples of one side of a n edit war, when a user stops editing because of the 3RR war, other users sometimes jump in. This has happened on both sides, as I have shown. It's unfortunate, but it is not evidence that they are the same user. Gravitor 14:41, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

But the fact is, even if that were true, which I don't believe it is, it has nothing to do with the case in point.

Talk:Drake Hotel (Toronto)

message: What exactly is advertising here, much less "blatant"? So far you're only argument is that this is an article about Drake Hotel and not about Stober's other Drake properties. You may have noticed that the article's name is Drake Hotel and that it talks about, surprise, surprise, the Drake Hotel and different things that go on within it and around it. How does mere mention, supported by numerous sources that establish its notability, of the existence of other properties carrying the same name that have clearly come into existence precisely and only because of Drake Hotel's popularity and success constitute "blatant advertising"?
What exactly are you taking issue with here?
*That Drake isn't popular and successful? There's like a gazillion sources stating otherwise.1, 2, This one, this one, and this one for example stating it transformed its entire neighbourhood.
*That Drake One Fifty, Drake General Store, and Drake Devonshire Inn have nothing to do with Drake Hotel and therefore shouldn't be mentioned? There's also a deluge of source connecting the success of the former with the latter coming into existence. 1, 2, 3, etc.
*That Drake business branding doesn't exist? Again, numerous sources talk about it explicitly.

Talk:Dimitrija Čupovski

message: It has been finally revealed that Slavic Macedonians were in fact Old Bulgarians and identified as such until the Macedonian question arose in the late 18th century and because of the nationalistic struggle of their lands they had to re-evaluate their identity, break tradition and conclude that they were neither Serb, nor Bulgarian, but something in between with their own specific qualities and eventually adopted the regional name Macedonian.

Talk:Outsports

message: Hello, my intention was not malicious. I did create Outsports, and I tried to mimic what was in other entires like ESPN. I did not mean for it to be a marketing tool at all. Outsports has a rich history and has been one of the most important forces behind the growth in gay sports over the last seven years. Please, if you can point me to any resources that will show me how to better write an entry, I'll gladly do it. And again, I'm sorry I went outside your guidelines. I did not intend to at all. Thank you!
:Hello. Don't worry, nobody thought that your intent was malicious. The trouble is that there are many thousands of small organisations and websites that are do not have Wikipedia entries because they are not notable enough. The concept of notability as it applies to Wikipedia articles is defined here: WP:NOTABILITY In order to assert that Outsports is a notable entity, you should provide some independent references that will demonstrate this. Examples would be newspaper or magazine articles or links to reputable websites (see Wikipedia:Reliable_sources for guidelines). --CIreland 18:16, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: This article is so blatantly self-promotional that it beggars belief.
Most of the information given here quite simply isn't verifiable (much of it is easy to disprove)  and ridiculous claims such as “considered the worldwide leader in gay sports” fall flat on their face when you consider that Outsports rarely covers anything outside of the USA, gives very little coverage to lesbian sports and totally ignores the most popular worldwide gay team sports (soccer, cricket, rugby, handball etc.).
An award is mentioned - but that comes from a national organisation which itself seems to be short on notability (certainly on any worldwide level).
I am in the process of rewriting this on the basis of what IS verifiable, so any comments and suggestions are welcome. 
To be perfectly honest, I am not even sure that it will meet the notability criteria and given the nonsensical and self-promotional nature of the content, I get the impression that Wikipedia is being as a tool to gain notability where otherwise there would be none at all.

thread_title: New Research

message: Someone has written that Dorothy Macardle was raised as a Roman Catholic; this is based on an article in The Irish Times. But from Tim Pat Coogan's book on de Valera, it seems that she died a Protestant. Coogan gets his information from Michael Moynihan, who interviewed de Valera, Millbanks (talk) 07:51, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It's puzzling. In the record of MacArdle in the 1911 census the information on her religion is listed as 'refused'. The two younger children of the family, however, are Roman Catholic. Her mother (and Englishwoman) is described as a 'freethinker', which generally meant atheist or agnostic, and it's possible Dorothy had indeed been raised Catholic, but now regarded herself as something similar. The only persuasive evidence for MacArdle having been raised Protestant appears to be in the fact she attended Alexandra College - a Church of Ireland school. The article would read better if it were possible to track down some account of when and why she altered her religious beliefs. ANB (talk) 19:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Is it very relevant if she was not notable for her religiosity? Obviously she did not describe herself a Catholic, or practice as a Catholic, and there are many varieties of Protestantism. Alexandra College was (is?) run as an Anglican school but many of its staff are not Anglicans. This is more interesting to Irish Catholics, to whom she was a heretic, than to anyone else - including her.86.43.179.189 (talk) 10:42, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
