[edit] Barnstar

I, Smiley, hereby award you this Barnstar of National Merit for all the work you have done to improve the coverage of Armenia related articles. Keep up the great work!

Not sure where it should go on your page so here it is.--


[edit] Indefinite block

I was going to block you for meatpuppeting the 3RR violation on the Joseph Stalin page, but having seen your block log, it looks like indefinite is probably appropriate. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:12, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

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

Blocking admin was involved in editing dispute with user; POV content disputes are not vandalism. Sending to ANI

Request handled by: — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 12:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

You reverted to a version placed by a vandal who is adding excessively POV edits to the very few articles he/she has edited. You reverted without an explanation as to why you feel the POV should be in the article. A 3RR violation applies to every person who reverts the article, not just to the one account that does so. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:18, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

This is your POV that he is a vandal. There are many users who reverted to that version, not only me. I reverted the mass deletion of sourced material. Please stop blocking your opponents.--Nixer 07:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I have been a harsh crytic of Nixer and I supported his blocks but indef is simply wrong here. He is not a sterile revert warrior. He contributes sourced content but occasionally does degrade to edit wars. Indef block seems an overkill. --Irpen 07:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

To a certain extent through heroic figures like Klaus Fuchs, the brilliant activities of the Soviet intelligence service resulted in the early loss of America's monopoly on the destructive atomic bomb. isn't vandalism? User:Zoe|(talk) 07:31, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

This is a wrong accusation in sockpuppetry which I was not engaged in. User:Zoe simply blocked all his opponents (accusing all them to be sockpuppets). I did not broke any rule and made only one edit to revert mass deletion of material, added by various users (including me).--Nixer 07:28, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I never said you were a sockpuppet, I said you were a meatpuppet. This discussion is over. User:Zoe|(talk) 07:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Nixer, better promise not to rv war and prey than present silly excuses. --Irpen 07:34, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you say one edit is an edit war? Yes, of course, I do not use socks, break 3RR etc. But I have right to revert to a version I like more (especially if my contribution deleted in the other version), at least once, especially when my edits supported by a majority of other users. And I am not a "meatpuppet" of any other user. Please use checkuser.--Nixer 07:37, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Don't be silly. Think it over. --Irpen 07:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

I noticed this by chance. Nixer has put made many worthwhile contributions to many articles. While the use of words like "heroic" and "brilliant" is clearly inappropriate (i.e. they are peacock terms, I think an indefinite block is overly harsh. Grant65 | Talk 07:45, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
I did not use these words. I simply restored version with my edits not deleted. I do not say this version is brilliant. I also ask to unblock User:Zvesda who was also blocked by User:Zoe in false accusation of being my "meatpuppet".--Nixer 07:47, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
You have been unblocked. I suggest you stay away from the article for a period of 24 hours. I also urge you to report this on WP:ANI. — Nearly Headless Nick {L} 12:11, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Block

This blocked user (block log | autoblocks | unblock | contribs) asked to be unblocked, but an administrator or other user has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators or users can also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). This unblock request continues to be visible. Do not replace this message with another unblock request nor add another unblock request.

Request reason: "No reason for the block. No official ban [1], no block evasion. Editing from another account is not a crime."

Decline reason: "Request to unblock denied, creation of vandal/attack accounts will not be tolerated. - Mike Rosoft 16:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)"

This template should be removed when the block has expired, or after 2 days in the case of blocks of 1 week or longer.

I second Mike Rosoft's unblock review. --Yamla 16:57, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Where do you see vandal/attack accounts?--Nixer 12:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Antarctic Treaty secretariat Emblem.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Antarctic Treaty secretariat Emblem.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Antarctic_Treaty_secretariat_Emblem.png

Warning sign This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Antarctic_Treaty_secretariat_Emblem.png. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. When you use a generic fair use tag such as {{fair use}} or {{fair use in|article name}}, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. — pd_THOR | =/\= | 18:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] PROD

[edit] Probability control

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Probability control, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

[edit] Image:Loc1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Loc1.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

  1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
  2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ShadowHalo 20:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I have tagged Image:Trvn2.jpg and Image:Federation Tower1.jpg for the same reason. ShadowHalo 20:46, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
