[edit] Mr. Mystery

Mr. Mystery has been proposed for deletion. Please see the article for details. NickelShoe 18:54, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] mr. mystery

hiya-

well, to provide your "evidence", you only have to cite the book- ie say, as Mr. Midnight does, that a notice at the back of book states a new series, Mr. Mystery, is now being worked on, and providing the relevant information (page number, book) so this can be found by others. This in itself isn't a copyright issue, you can cite and quote things.

However, my guess, (which is only a guess as i can't read the deleted article), is that the article was deleted because we don't currently know anything beyond that- "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, see WP:NOT" was the edit summary. But you should be able to stub it, with the relevant information that the book will exist and who it will be written by and whatnot, i don't really see why this would be a problem. Speculation on what the book will be about may be problematic.

As to a book cover- the tag you are looking for is {{book cover}}. which must be accompanied by an explanation of why this is fair use of the image.

good luck. apologies about the talk page, it seems to have bloomed exponentially in the last week or so . . .

Here's the relevant part of WP:NOT, btw- WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_crystal_ball. If you stay within it's guidlines i don't see why you should have a problem . . . I'll put the book on my watchlist so i can see what happens . . . --He:ah? 18:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 209.158.179.18

Blocking should be used to stop the vandalism if the warnings don't work and in this case they don't seem to be. A block should not really be used to punish the editor and blocking almost 24 hours after the offence would be more a punishment. Usually in cases like this I have been using the {{subst:bv}} (blatant vandal). Then I will check back and see if they are continueing to vandalise and if so block them. I would suspect that if they vandalise again I would block them. However, they only seem to do it once or twice a week and so it's not very likely to bother them.

Well thanks for telling me. Sorry about the broken link in my previous message; it should be [[Special:Contributions/209.158.179.18|209.158.179.18]]... --Bruin rrss23 03:08, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 207.235.223.32

This IP address is apparently a shared IP address registered to Education Service Center District 10 and used by a large number of students. These shared IPs are often the sources of large amounts of vandalism over a long period of time, but it is not usually a good idea to block them immediately. In blocking a shared IP, thousands of individuals could be blocked from editing Wikipedia. The student vandalizing from this IP probably isn't even the same one that has vandalized Wikipedia in the past. A short block should be employed if necessary, but a warning should be given first. If after the bv warning, vandalism had continued, I would have blocked the IP. If you ever see an IP that is engaging in flagrant vandalism and is ignoring warnings, you can report it at WP:AIV to get a quick response. Hope that answers your question.

[edit] deleting

hi bruin, there isn't really much of a reason to delete that page- after all, this is a wiki, and the page can easily be changed. so i've removed the comment. pages only get deleted for content if they are copyvios or are decided to be non-notable or otherwise unsuitable for wikipedia- but as this is a talk and the article is fine, i've just gone ahead and removed the nonsense. cheers --Heah? 16:39, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: aiman

concerning user aiman, you are not the first to bring up complains against him. I myself had written notes at his user page but he seems to be ignoring it. After awhile, I just gave up on him. __earth (Talk) 10:41, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:FlashGet.gif listed for deletion

I have nominated an image you uploaded, Image:FlashGet.gif, for deletion. The deletion discussion can be found here. The reason I've nominated the image is that it is low quality and in GIF format (JPEG, SVG and GIF formats are preferred for Wikipedia images). It has been replaced by Image:FlashGet.png, a replacement screenshot in PNG format. Cynical 22:14, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] John Wydell

This "biograpy" contains copyrighted and unsourced information. The author of this article, CyberGhostface has inserted a number of copyrighted pictures which he cites as being "low-resolution screenshots", when in fact they are not. These pictures are fully copyrighted, the copyright being held by Lions Gate Entertainment Corporation. The article contains unsourced information, and any edits and additions made to this article by wikipedians are reverted back to the original article by it's creator. It seems that CyberGhostface will not allow anyone to edit this article for any reason! -JimmyMack 16:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry he got you involved with this. For the record, this person basically added his own fictional original research into the articles, so he got mad when I removed them. "Anyone" in this case just basically refers to him.--CyberGhostface 21:15, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Badly, I myself don't know much about John Wydell. I was just using Lupin's anti-vandal tool when I found out about the personal attack to you on the 26th on the article and reverted it and gave him a warning. That's how everything started. Now he's under a different IP since his old IP which I reported to WP:PAIN got blocked. At time of writing, his new IP is already blocked. I guess he will surface again after sometime under a new IP. I'll put the article on my watchlist and see what happens. --Bruin_rrss23 07:20, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for helping me out with vandalism in the past and all the other vandalism you have tirelessly cleaned up. CyberGhostface 22:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Request to allow IP to edit for logged in users

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Autoblock of 165.228.131.12 lifted or expired.

Request handled by: Yamla 19:45, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Currently, the internet connection in South East Asia is extremely unreliable due to some earthquake in Taiwan breaking the international link, making it impossible to access Wikipedia. I'm currently using a proxy since it's the only way I know to get access to WP. The IP just needs to be set to allow logged in users to edit from the proxy's IP.

EDIT: I found a faster proxy so I changed the IP. Don't know if this is allowable or not, but I think I'll settle for the new IP for the mean time...--Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 11:23, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

UPDATE: Thanks for the unblock. It now seems that I can now access WP without using the proxy albeit slower. I might be switching between normal and proxy connection depending on which is faster until the international links in Taiwan are repaired, which I'll settle for normal connection. --Bruin_rrss23 (talk) 05:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Where do I put this Image?

regarding Image:Maybank Tower Kuala Lumpur 2.jpg, I am unsure how useful it would be since there is a superior image. For Image:Balai Polis KL.jpg, you might want to try Royal Malaysian Police. __earth (Talk) 13:38, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
