[edit] Maps

They're still around, but I guess I put in the filenames wrong. Check Subdivisions of Azerbaijan and Provinces of Algeria. Thanks for the compliment :) --Golbez 04:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: 203.217.29.165

I thank you for bringing this to my attention and I will keep a close eye out for 203.217.29.165 (talk • contribs • WHOIS • RDNS • RBLs • block user • block log). Unfortunately, I am not an administrator so I can't block users. But I can put this user on my watchlist and on my blacklist at VandalProof so if any more vandalism comes up, I will report them to the AIV. --Tuspm(C | @) 13:30, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sixlets

Hi, you may notice that I wrote my comment on the 12th of June. I was referring to an image uploaded to the Commons. Unless I am mistaken, you uploaded your image to Wikipedia, right? Image:Sixlets.jpg? See the deletion log. Regards, pfctdayelise (talk) 11:39, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, my mistake. I thought it was a recent comment. Arx Fortis 15:24, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asheville

I'll keep an eye on it, thanks. --Golbez 23:29, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks ++ Arx Fortis 04:11, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AutoWikiBrowser

Thank you for your recent application to use AutoWikiBrowser. Regrettably, I have declined your request as you do not have 500 mainspace edits. You are welcome to apply again at a later time. Feel free to contact me with any questions, Alphachimp 20:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, I do, but they aren't all attributed to this account. As my userpage mentions, you can see my prior contributions here. For some time, I made edits without an account, but failed to mention this upon my application. Regardless, I worked quite a bit on the WP:MISSING project this evening and have exceeded 500 edits. ++ Arx Fortis 08:29, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Billy Graham - my mistake

I just replied to you on the talk page. My mistake (removing your quality entry and working link on the AIDS subject). The smear/quote mine was so blatant that in my haste to delete it I did not realize the latest version had the correction. Sorry for the confusion/disruption.

[edit] "Fix it and readd it"

Apropos of the article on Bush the elder: Please don't encourage somebody to "fix" and later readd what's obviously tripe. Thanks! -- Hoary 09:38, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Please use a little more tact when criticizing the edit comments (and assumed motives) of others. I'm a bit lost here: are you referring to my criticism (a) of the trivia-adder (and, later, trivia-mass-deleter) or (b) of you? If the former, sorry [to you, not him/her] but all my patience was used up. (I'll avoid biting those "newbies" who seem to be attempting to have a clue.) If the latter, I hadn't thought I either was or seemed critical; certainly I hadn't intended to be. -- Hoary 01:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cortes Generales

Thank you for experimenting with the page Cortes Generales on Wikipedia. Your test worked, and it has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you may want to do. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Sagaciousuk (talk) 19:02, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

You are mistaken (unless it's just your bot). I was not "experimenting" with the page Cortes Generales. I was tracing activity from a certian user/vandal and attempted revert vandalism on that page. After doing so, I then realized it had already been reverted, so I reverted my own edit. ++ Arx Fortis 19:09, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
No it wasn't a bot that set the warning, but thanks to the rush yesterday, your edit that accidentally added back vandalism was picked up by the script which throws up potential vandal edits to me - and I tried to revert it and it seems you just beat me to it. When something reverts ok to the script, I leave a warning. I apologise, as the script usually detects when there has been edits after the one I try to revert - but it must have been us both trying to fix. Keep up the good work! --Sagaciousuk (talk) 02:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wildlife of North Carolina

I have reverted your image edits at Wildlife of North Carolina. Though these images are not necessarily optimal, you can feel free to find or create alternatives before removing the existing ones. This article, like all wikipedia articles, is a work in progress. If you have a complaint with any of the photographs, please use constructive criticism, rather than destructing the available page. Nimur 18:58, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I respecfully disagree with your assertion that a bad picture is better than no picture (in regards to the bird and flower pictures). Further, the focus of the bridge picture was just that - the bridge - and made the river an afterthought. I have replaced both the flower picture and the bridge picture. I suggest removing the turkey vulture picture as there are two bird pictures on this page, while none for mammals or reptiles. ++ Arx Fortis 05:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your thoughts and contributions. Your work on the article is much appreciated. Sorry if I was overly zealous- I noticed a new editor at the article who was making deletions, and I forgot to assume good faith. Keep up the good contributions, I'll try to do some later this week.

[edit] ---Issue with Redirect---

I request help from an admin regarding the redirection of an article and the actions of another admin. I un-redirected an article and restored the content as I disagreed with the other users's assertion that the information doesn't belong in it's own article. I asked that the user please discuss the issue on the talk page before re-reverting, but he refused to do so. The article is part of a larger issue than just a "list." It involves succession boxes (like the one shown below) and the ability to click on the title and be directed to a complete list. (Why should users have to click through the entire succession to see the list?) I feel that starting NFL QBs are notable in and of themselves and that the lists for each team's starting QBs could be a page. It is not as if I am suggesting Wikipedia host a list of every starting player in every position in the History of the NFL.

I just simply don't understand why that user's opinion is more "important" than mine or the other 8 users who contributed to the article since its inception. This information is not in the main Miami Dolphins article and frankly doesn't belong there (that article is long enough as it is). Unfortunately, the user who reverted is an admin and, frankly, I feel intimidated by his 2nd revert for fear that the admin might ban me if I revert again. For this reason, I haven't restored the article.

What bothers me most is that this admin refused to allow any discussion of the issue before redirecting, then refused again after I requested discussion. In my two brief years of editing Wikipedia, I have never found such obtuse actions by an admin.

The article is (was) this:[1] but has since been redirected to the main Miami Dolphins page.

Sample succession box:

Preceded by
David Woodley		 Miami Dolphins Starting Quarterbacks
1983-1999		 Succeeded by
Jay Fiedler
If he really refuses to have any sort of dicussion, I would continue asking him until you are quite sure that he knows exactly what he is doing. I would then ask for maybe a mediation at the mediation cabal. If he doesn't respond to that, then he is most certainly a troublesome editor and administrator intervention is probably required at WP:ANI. Hope that helps.
Woah, I just realized. You are saying the reverting editor is an administrator? What is his name? GofG ||| Contribs 02:42, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
His name is Jaranda You can see the talk page ++Arx Fortis 03:05, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
