[edit] RfA thanks

Thank you for the Support I'd like to express my huge thanks to you, Dionyseus, for your support in my recent RfA, which closed with 100% support at 71/0/1. Needless to say, I am very suprised at the huge levels of support I've seen on my RfA, and at the fact that I only had give three answers, unlike many other nominees who have had many, many more questions! I'll be careful with my use of the tools, and invite you to tell me off if I do something wrong! Thanks, Martinp23 14:58, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for your support!

A week ago I nominated myself, hoping to be able to help Wikipedia as an administrator as much as a WikiGnome. I am very glad many others shared my thoughts, including you. Thank you for your trust! Be sure I will use these tools to protect and prevent and not to harass or punish. Should you feel I am overreacting, pat me so that I can correct myself. Thanks again! ReyBrujo 20:02, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tango's RfA

I don't know if it was intentional, but your vote in Tango's RfA goes as follows: "Oppose I see no reason to oppose this candidate. Dionyseus 21:14, 18 November 2006 (UTC)"

Just wanted to let you know, in case you want to fix it or something. Nishkid64 01:00, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing it out to me, I have now fixed it. Dionyseus 01:09, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Midnight Syndicate

Hi, Dionyseus - I just wanted to say thank you for your help with the Midnight Syndicate article. It's nice to see someone else shares my opinion of what the other side is trying to accomplish with their edits. Sorry I referred to you as an admin - I guess I just assumed because you do so much work here. Thanks again! - Skinny McGee 20:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA thanks

I would like to express my appreciation of the time you spent considering my successful RfA. Thankyou Gnangarra 13:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cat

What nonsense are you talking about? I added a photograph and fixed the one that is stairstepping. I am also in the process of adding more information to the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smoky Bear (talk • contribs).

You did not add a paragraph, you inserted images of cats, sometimes the same image of a cat multiple times in the article. Dionyseus 06:34, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

How does adding a link constitute a vandalism? HUH? Is it because I forgot to add the second set of brackets [ [ ? Vandalism is the complete replacement or deletion of text. Don't be silly. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Smoky Bear (talk • contribs).

Intentionally breaking links such as the Wikitionary links you vandalised is vandalism. Dionyseus 09:25, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Oh, the humanity! I had my doubts about accepting a nomination for a second RfA, but even I couldn't have predicted the stir it caused as it drifted to the ground in flames! Still, it was as educational as ever. Thanks for your input; it will be on my mind as I continue to edit Wikipedia, and perhaps I will have earned your support if another nomination comes around. Kafziel Talk 15:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Block log

Hello!

I have been warned by another administrator (User:Khoikhoi) for posting this comment. User:Irpen has also posted a notice on Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Personal_attacks.2C_harrassment.2C_baiting_and_pestering_by_user:Oden. As you are one of the users mentioned in my comment I would value your input into this matter.

Your input in the matter would be noted with interest.

Sincerely, --Oden 12:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removing my request for Admin assistence

Dionyseus, you blanked my request for Admin assistence [[1] to hide the fact that it is you helping Skinny McGee in making false edits to the Midnight Syndicate article. You have no right to blank a request. If you do so again I will report your actions to the board. GuardianZ 16:03, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I did not blank your request, you continue to deceive. Dionyseus 16:08, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I think it's a misunderstanding. The request was blanked by a bot, not a person. [2] --BigDT 01:40, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arbitration

I am initiating an arbitration request on Midnight Syndicate. The formal request will be posted at Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration shortly. You will be a named party in this dispute. Durova^Charge! 03:11, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hi. Thank you for voting in my RfA. Just to let you know that I have replied to the concerns you raised in your vote. Thanks again. Wikiwoohoo 18:50, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About your copyright question

I have moved it here, where it is likely to get more replies (the WP:SCV is a special page where only User:Wherebot should report copyvios). Personally, I believe the site is doing a copyright violation, and thus should not be referenced, however I would check that section to see if someone else thinks as me. -- ReyBrujo 18:29, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PS3

Criticism sections are normally negative. I utilized 2 very good refs. ( A New York Times Article, and an IGN article ). I don't feel wiki articles are supposed to be 100% positive, but offer an objective look at the facts. The PS3 has been heavily criticized in the media. I didn't do it, the New York Times, IGN, and gamers across the land have. No console has even been priced so high, nor so hyped. I was not in any way tring to bash PS3, I was simply trying to round out a half moon picture. Forgive any copy edits on this talk page, I wrote this quickly.Derek Cormier 07:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

update: I changed the name of the section to "Press" and made it a little less negative, while still trying to show the fact that there has been quite a bit of negative press regarding this machine. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Derek Cormier (talk • contribs).

You have your facts a bit wrong. The 3D0 for example launched at almost $700 in the United States, and back then $700 was worth far more than it is today. We are well aware of the two articles you referred to, don't you think we would have used them long ago? Dionyseus 07:39, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, I must humbly admit I shouldn't have said "No console" but instead said "Not many". Derek Cormier 01:39, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you for voting

Thank you for voting in my RfA which at 51/20/6 unfortunately did not achieve consensus. In closing the nomination, Essjay remarked that it was one of the better discussed RfAs seen recently and I would like to thank you and all others who chose to vote for making it as such. It was extremely humbling to see the large number of support votes, and the number of oppose votes and comments will help me to become stronger. I hope to run again for adminship soon. Thank you all once more. Wikiwoohoo 20:16, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Midnight Syndicate

Hello,

An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Midnight Syndicate. Please add any evidence you may wish the arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Midnight Syndicate/Evidence. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Midnight Syndicate/Workshop.

On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, --Srikeit 05:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Much-belated RfA Thanks

I would like to take the time to thank you for voting in my unsuccessful RFA. Although I did not find your comment very helpful, I still appreciate it. Have a nice day, and I apologize for the laggy response! -- Chris is me 17:06, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Can you check whether this image is properly sourced

Hi, can you check whether this image is properly sourced: Image:Georgezimmer.jpg ? Dionyseus 01:46, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

The source should point to the page containing the image, and not the image itself, so that we can check the pages's term's of use (or something equivalent).

The correct source link should be the one pointed by the "Mens Wearhouse web page" link.

Unfortunatelly, I'm affraid the image is not a "promotional photo" as described on the image's description page. The source page's terms of use forbids the use of it's images for such purpose. It says

Men's Wearhouse authorizes you to view the Materials on this Site, and to download and make a single copy of all or a portion of the Materials only for your personal noncommercial use. You may not otherwise copy or download Materials, and may not modify, use or distribute the Materials

—Men's Wearhouse's terms of use

Also, even if we would find a valid promotional image for Mr Zimmer, we shouldn't use it unless it was freely licensed. According to the very first item on WP:FUC, our criteria to determine when we can use unfree material on Wikipedia, we shouldn't use unfree images when it's not possible to create a free replacement (which is the case for public living people).

For now, I would suggest tagging the image both as {{imagevio}} and {{replaceable fair use}}.

Let me know if you need any further help in this matter. Best regards, --Abu Badali 14:09, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RE Your revert in the Wii article

Your edit made it seem as if the consensus was to leave "Wiimote" out. Just64helpin 17:39, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

There's no consensus on not including it. I'll also point out that but there are a number of editors that insist on add "Wiimote" in the section. Rather than cleaning up the edits every time they appear, the "Wiimote" reference should stay until the final verdict on the matter. Just64helpin 17:47, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Er, fine... But the warning should redirect editors to the discussion page, not state that "Wiimote" is inappropriate. Just64helpin 17:55, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

BTW, these "Wiimote"-related edits will undoubtedly force an admin to fully-protect the Wii article. Just64helpin 17:59, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for self-reverting your edit. At the moment I don't think a prot would be necessary, the user who is obsessed with including the nickname "Wiimote" in the article, User:J.L.Main, has been blocked for 24h for violating WP:3RR. Dionyseus 18:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "The" Wii issue

This has been covered in the discussion page. The warning in the main article and Common Question the discussion are in favor of starting the Wii article with "the". If you disagree, I would suggest starting a new topic on the subject, as the warning does. Thank you. Just64helpin 18:49, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

My mistake, I misread the FAQ section. Dionyseus 18:54, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brian's RfA, attack allegation

Hi, Dionyseus.

In the context of Hawkestone's and others' comments at User_talk:Customs#Please_obey_the_rules_or_leave, I fail to see how Brian's comment at User_talk:Hawkestone#User:Customes attacks Hawkestone. Hawkestone and the others may have been biting a newbie. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 22:32, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
