Thanks... I've been on here before, actually, but I forgot the password of my last account and I had to change email addresses since I used it, so I just regged another. Jtrainor 04:10, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)

[edit] EBaum's

Look. I have stairs in my house, so I know just how much of an annoying thief Bauman's is. And I support the fact that the article was protected (heh) in its current state. Don't vandalize it. And don't claim he steals everything from SA; he steals from everywhere. DS 12:22, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

I meant he steals everythinhg from everywhere. :p I don't want to vandalize it, I just want his crimes described on the page. Jtrainor 14:10, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image copyright problem with Image:Emot-clownballoon.gif

Thanks for uploading Image:Emot-clownballoon.gif. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images on Wikipedia is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. You can get help on image copyright tagging from Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags.

Go ahead and trash it, I only used it once for a humourous reply on a discussion page. I expected the auto-purge to prune it long ago.

[edit] Yayyy!

[edit] Response

Look, if you want to be part of the solution rather than part of the problem, see the discussion at WP:GUNDAM. Otherwise keep your trolling off my talk page, please. Unhelpful posts like that are neither needed nor wanted: you have clearly failed to WP:AGF on a massive scale. Moreover, if you dislike Wikipedia so much, why are you still here? Moreschi Deletion! 16:55, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Disagreeing with you does not make me a troll. Jtrainor 18:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
What? Sorry? I only encountered these Gundam articles about a week ago. Not me. Moreover, your failure to assume good faith is so obvious that it does constitute trolling. I have no vendetta against Gundam. However, these articles fail WP:V, WP:OR, WP:RS, and WP:FICT on a gigantic scale and very few of them actually assert notability, which is actually a speedy deletion criterion. They are clear candidates for deletion. I would appreciate it if you began to assume good faith when there is every reason to do so. Moreschi Deletion! 14:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
I fail to assume good faith because no good faith exists on your part. Instead of nominating just the RX-78 Gundam article for deletion as claimed in the AFD vote, you nominated every mobile suit article you could find, in an apparent attempt to flush as much as possible before anyone else noticed.

Furthermore, I will definitely not assume any good faith on your part when you call people who disagree with you trolls. Jtrainor 21:42, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What happens when you go looking for votestacking support on external websites

Which you did, at Mechatalk, is that someone takes it upon themselves to vandalize my userpage and user talk, and a lot of admins have to waste a lot of time doing blocks. Next time, think before you characterise Wikipedia editors as "going nuts", as the consequences may not be altogether pretty. Everyone has had to waste a lot of time. If you do know the fellow that is doing this, would you mind telling him to call off the socks? Thank you. Cheers, Moreschi Deletion! 16:42, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I mean, pictures of lynching? Yuck. Please help stop this if you can. Moreschi Deletion! 16:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
I have no responsibility for anyone who decides to vandalize your userpage and certainly do not endorse such activity. The intent of my posts on other forums was to rally support for an issue I am concerned with.

Fair enough. I'll see what I can do with mechatalk. Cheers, Moreschi Deletion! 19:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, there is a way. Admins can view the histories and the deleted articles and restore them for you in your userspace, or maybe a subpage of WP:GUNDAM. Contact one of the admins who closed the AfDs, say what articles you want back in your userspace to work on, and I'm sure they'll help out. Damn it, hopefully in less than a week I'll be able to do that for you. Incidentally, the reason why the histories aren't available to non-admins is that otherwise it would be too easy to undo the deletion by simply reverting.

[edit] That article

Eh, I think you've done it OK, but if there's a problem I'll fix it. I just left my delete vote with extensive reasoning...grr, that article makes me sick. Some of us actually bother to source our stuff to RS, and then we get people doing this? Great. Anyway, thanks for the heads up. As a future tip, deletion nominations normally should be longer, but I think I've covered the important points. Cheers, Moreschi Request a recording? 19:37, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Alright, fixed now. Cheers, Moreschi Request a recording? 19:48, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thinking big

Agreed. I sincerely doubt that every single episode of The Simpsons passes the central notability criterion at WP:N, or indeed any other notability criterion for that matter. How many of these episodes meet ""A topic is notable if it has been the subject of at least one substantial or multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject and of each other."? Not many, I would guess. As regards the technical aspects of mass nominations, WP:AFD will tell you what to do.

However, it's probably best to take a more cautious approach than to mass-nominate a whole load of junk at once. Men are weak and tend to get frightened at mass AfD nominations. My own strategy for this would be first to alert the community - either at WP:CN or at WP:VP to the problem, and see whether rough consensus exists to deal with it. If there is rough consensus, then I would first nominate just one article to set a precedent. Perhaps Lisa's Rival? But mass-nominations are rarely successful - the only one that I can remember of the top of my head for a double-digit number of articles was one for a whole load of TV/radio masts that really did have no other claim to fame bar existing.

Hope this is helpful. At any rate, talking to the community before a mass AfD is definitely a good idea. Good luck! Cheers, Moreschi Request a recording? 22:41, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Community noticeboard

It's back now, an excess of enthusiasm on the part of one admin who is doing sterling work in pruning the project of unnecessary instructions and processes, don't be too hard on him. Guy (Help!) 16:56, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lightsaber AfD

I saw you post there again... I would still like to know your answer on the afd to my concern I raised there in my last reply, if possible... thank you. - Denny 20:49, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Allegations of Islamic apartheid -- Article for Deletion

What about these too? These are used far less than is 'Israeli Apartheid'

Your thoughts?Kritt 08:40, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't notice those, thanks for pointing 'em out. I'll wait and see how the other AfDs do before I try nominating those though. Jtrainor 20:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Israeli Apartheid is overwhelmingly more a legit term and topic than are those others above. I have no idea why you chose the one with the most reliable sources and most use in society as the one to delete.Kritt 22:13, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
