Aspartame and Aspartame controversy

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution.

User:GenuineMusic

You blocked User:GenuineMusic as a banned user and deleted their contributions, but you didn't indicate which banned user this was an alternate identify for, or how you determined that they were a sock of a banned user. Could you provide clarification? Thanks. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:31, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it's a sock of User:amorrow based on the area of interest and editing pattern. Tom Harrison ^Talk 13:13, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Random revert-warring

Thanks for making sure you reverted the correction of "recieving food aid which hat to be collected", you truly improved the project with your edit-warring by insisting that an article be kept exactly as-is written by a small group of three authors with shared political views, and not even allowing grammatical corrections by anonymous users. Sherurcij ^{(speaker for the dead)} 18:16, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

It was grammatically correct as written. I don't understand what you mean about the hat. Tom Harrison ^Talk 18:22, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Tom, shame on you...didn't you know that the taliban are actually "socially progressive"? And that William Ayers is actually a "freedom fighter"?--MONGO 05:26, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, it's all more than I can get my head around. Mullah Omar must be a community organizer. Back in the nineties a Democratic congressman made news by comparing the Republican congressional delegation to the Taliban. If the Republicans were like the Taliban, I have to think the Taliban must have been like the Republicans. Wild -- You need a weather vane to see which way the wind blows today.

If you write a little known book, you can "honor" John Wilkes Booth and other poorly understood prisoners kept in confinement by an extremely far right wing U.S. Government...by placing him in the cover jacket....and this will suddenly make you an "educator".[1]--MONGO 01:29, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Metaform page

Hi Tom. I'm writing because you were the admin who had the final say for deleting the Metaform page. I of course feel this artist has notability not only in the San Francisco & Tokyo DJ scenes, but elsewhere. I have some sources to present for your consideration: [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]. In regards to the article contents, I think removing the Early Life section and slimming down the Music Career section would better the article. What do you think? Are more sources necessary to prove artist notability? If so, would you consider these references enough notability to create a Wiki Page for the album, Standing on the Shoulders of Giants (Metaform album)? Thanks! !C to the M! (talk) 03:13, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Tom, another admin deleted the page just hours after you restored and before I had a chance to make changes. !C to the M! (talk) 15:42, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Saw that - take it up with him if you want. If multiple people keep reaching the same conclusion, that may mean the content isn't appropriate for the project. Tom Harrison ^Talk 15:45, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: The Land Surveyor

Sorry if I'm more clueless than usual, but who is the banned user? Tom Harrison ^Talk 22:29, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

User:Peter_Damian. Avruch ^T 22:32, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks,Avruch. I don't say the block is unjustified, but it needs to be followed by an open consideration of the oversighted edits. Tom Harrison ^Talk 22:38, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Note that the accounts were brought to the attention of the Committee some time ago, we've just been slack in responding. This should have been handled last week. --bainer (talk) 22:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

You're probably right

Sorry for the paranoia and inconvenience, but I'd need to hear from you via an email address I already know. Tom Harrison ^Talk 19:00, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Mbeychok

I learned today that Mbeychok quit wikipedia because of me (he's back now). Since you said goodbye to him, you probably read his version of things, but didn't have mine. I don't really care for comments on the whole situation as it's water under the bridge to me, but I would at least like to have the chance to clear my name. You don't have to agree with me or even reply, but I wrote on a rant on my user page, and I would appreciate if you took a minute to read it. Thanks.

Thank you

Thank you for your comments and support. They have been very much appreciated. Giano (talk) 21:29, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
