Gah!

I copied this template from someone else and just plugged in my own text! And all I wanted to do was say thank you...  :( Dppowell 02:49, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Just to let you know

Just to let you know you put your oppose vote on Nyttend Rfa in the support section. You may want to fix that. Have a nice day.--SJP 22:12, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, I see:) Something would be wrong with you if you did not think that is a lot of mainspace edits!--SJP 22:20, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

out of place edit

I adjusted your edit on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Nyttend‎.--Snakese 22:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Rfa should not be taken as a joke, it is a serious process, so it should be taken seriously. Avoid such edits in future.--Snakese 22:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Request for arbitration

I've been wanting to, but I've been reluctant to do so since this whole thing blew up lest someone twist it into accusing me of breaking my agreement to refrain from engaging in the activity in question while this is sorted out. I realize that that's hardly what I'm doing at all--explaining a prior "vote" is by no means the same as casting a new one--but it wouldn't surprise me if certain individuals tried to claim that it is. I realize the vast majority of people will be sane enough to realize how absurd that claim is, but it's still something that might give them ammo. I'd rather not get sidetracked fighting that; I'd rather not give them the ammunition to throw at me.

And I thought about putting it on your talk page instead, but the argument then will be that I just did that to sidestep the letter of what I offered to do, while still violating the spirit of it. Kurt Weber (Go Colts!) 02:34, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Your Rfa

By the way, good luck on your Rfa. I just noticed it. It looks like you will be promoted. Congrats in advanced. Have a nice day.--SJP 20:56, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

You're my first pro Rfa admin vote ever, and one of the few times where who I vote for actually makes it to become one! Bravo and glad to see someone I wanted to be promoted to admin, actually become an admin, and make it. This makes me feel like a winner too, so I celebrate with you! heheGiovanni33 06:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Anonymous me

Yes, that was me at Haunted Angel's RFA. I had been auto-logged out and changed my mind halfway through about whether it was important to attach my username to my comments. It would be cool if you could sign on while doing edits, without losing your edits. Right, I don't do RFA's very much. Usually only if I run across a link to one of them while wasting time on something else. Matchups 03:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

CSD of Image:Jonouchi Linework.jpg

Hi. I was wondering why you declined the CSD of Image:Jonouchi Linework.jpg when three other images from the same set were immediately CSD. They had invalid fair use rationals, and they also appear to be copyright violations being the reproduction and selling of printed works from the studio. Thanks :) Collectonian 03:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

*grin* no worries. I would have grouped them together but I didn't notice the other three till after I sent in the first one.  :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Collectonian (talk • contribs)

Concerning Image:DSC--Majlis5323.JPG

Dear East718, I noticed that you have removed the above-mentioned photograph. With reference to my earlier message to User_talk:BetacommandBot, just wish to let you know that on 26 October 2007 I wrote to an Office of the Majlis of Iran (mellat@majlis.ir), requesting them to inspect the photograph at issue. The following is part of my message:

26 October 2007
Dear Madam/Sir,
Hereby I should like to request you kindly to provide the Wikipedia page
pertaining to the English edition of Wikipedia with an appropriate
photograph of the Majlis; the present photograph has been marked for
deletion due to lack of an appropriate copyright statement. The
pertinent address is as follows:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Majlis_of_Iran
By clicking on the photograph at the top of the page, you will be led to the
photograph page where you can see that the present photograph has been
marked for deletion on Friday 2 November 2007.
...
Yours sincerely,
<My signature>.

In view of this, I should like to request you kindly to restore the photograph. Above all, they (i.e. the Majlis) cannot claim not to have known about this photograph. I have my original text sent to the Majlis, and should ever anyone claim that this photograph has been unlawfully on the Wikipedia page, I am prepared to make the full text of my e-mail to the Majlis available for proving the contrary (I have in addition a digital document showing that my e-mail to the Majlis has been received and read). With thanks in advance, Yours sincerely, --BF 15:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Dear East718, thank you for kindly restoring the photograph. As for the "one week" time to obtain the necessary permission, the onus rests now with Iran's Majlis — I have written to them once, and, to be frank with you, feel already affronted by not having received a response from them (and as I wrote earlier, I have a digital document indicating that they have both received my message and read it), either in the form of a written response to my e-mail, or in the form of the copyright statement being adjusted by them (that is what I asked them to do). Furthermore, I have not had anything to do with the photograph; my only involvement bagan on 26 October through my writing to the Majlis (see my previous message). The person who has uploaded the photograph is User:S_bashardoust2005; therefore if anybody has to do anything, that is the latter User not I. I shall now add a remark to the extant copyright statement, that on 26 October 2007 the Majlis has been forwarded a request to grant permission to use the photograph at issue on Wikipedia. Incidentally, this photograph is not very significant; if you inspect the website of the Majlis, you will find a host of similar photographs there and I have not been able to establish whether these photographs were copyrighted or not. Kind regards, --BF 18:08, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
You are absolutely right, but as I said before, I have had no involvement in uploading the photograph at issue; on 26 October I saw that it was marked for deletion, so tried to play the Good Samaritan and wrote to the Majlis. Now I am being chastised for that! (Not that is your fault!) Kind regards, --BF 18:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orthopox 13

Hi. I also nominated two other character articles for deletion. I was wondering if you could make a decision on those (i.e. delete or tell me to AFD those in a separate disucssion). hbdragon88 19:16, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

HNTTMM

I've placed a {{hangon}} tag on HNTTMM after the article's current author requested time to improve the article. I say let's give him some time to do so, but keep an eye on the article and see if it really does improve or not. The page is almost entirely list-cruft and table-cruft, and the remaining material would not be nearly enough to justify a full article, so my guess is that it will likely be deleted again soon. But I say let's give the guy a chance to assert its notability and improve the content. :) — KieferSkunk (talk) — 19:31, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Got your reply - thanks for the info. Probably not much more to do at this point. I do have a question, though: In situations like these, I wonder if we sometimes do get a little overzealous in speedy-deleting stuff - the "recreation of deleted content" rule, combined with A7, tends to say "If we decide that a page shouldn't be here, it'll never be here, or it'll take a gargantuan effort to make it suitable." I realize that most cases are really easy to call, but some don't seem to be. How do you deal with those situations? — KieferSkunk (talk) — 07:57, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Kurt Weber

I thought you dealt with this editor's spurious oppose quite impressively, and with much more tact than I would have used. He blankets all self-noms with the same tripe, and it is time someone called him on it. Are a few self-noms power-hungry? Perhaps. Is someone that "views all self-noms as prima facie evidence of power hunger" a bit of a wikidick? I think so. I thought you dealt with the guy as best as you possibly could have, given the circumnstances. A fine start to what I'm sure will be distinguished service as an admin. Keep it up! K. Scott Bailey 03:09, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

New article Psyco Gundam

In edit summary user wrote, 'I said, I'd recreate this article'. The meaning of article is beyond my grasp. Perhaps you know history because you have protected similar article RX-178 Gundam Mk-II.

Thanks. TRIRASH 14:45, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

I'll field this one. The article was up for AfD months ago and it was the decision of a number of editors to let it be tossed at that time since it was of horrible quality. User:MalikCarr had plans to recreate a new version following policies, and just recently, finally got around to doing so. Jtrainor 23:03, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of foreign consulates in Oklahoma City

Hi, when you close an AFD, especially a complex one like this, it's important to remove most incoming links to the deleted article(s) from other articles. A lot of these pages still have inbound article links, and even redirect pages (although now a bot deletes those). I know it's a pain... but over the years a bunch of redlinks to AFD'd articles seep into our articles... it takes continuous vigilance to curb that. --W.marsh 22:44, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Did some

Hey, sorry if I interrupted that process. I was removing some of the linked articles and came across a few that you were doing at the same time. Okiefromoklatalk to me 23:11, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

re Lacfool543

I have changed my block to indef, and reverted the talkpage to the template placed by you. When I originally blocked there had only been the vandalism to Justin Timberlake, per the report at AIV. I agree the personal attack(s) justified the indef. My practice is to block first (reduces disruption) and notify later. Cheers. LessHeard vanU 22:47, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Mentoring of PalestineRemembered

Hi East ... you might have supposed that offering to mentor another editor was an interesting and useful thing to do. I have to warn you that this is not the case here. If the mentee (ie me) has editing problems, then it's been found nearly impossible to define what they are in dozens(?) of un-structured and largely evidence-free "disciplinaries" on me. And being my mentor and not finding problems is a quick way to get yourself into huge trouble. User:Geni suffered a great deal of harassment (see the deletion long on this "Attack Page" on her) - but her successor has had even more trouble.

Having said which, I'm only asking for someone prepared to do the thing honestly, so you'd be entirely acceptable to me. Since the terms of the mentorship were that I got to choose my own mentor, I'm prepared to accept you forthwith. Preferably with User:Kendrick7 who seems to be experienced but otherwise of whom I know very little, or on your own if you prefer. PRtalk 12:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Your comments on User:UBeR RE: Global Warming and 3RR

Perhaps you should familiarize yourself with this: "Editors may still be blocked even if they have made three or fewer reverts in a 24 hour period, if their behavior is clearly disruptive. Efforts to game the system, for example by persistently making three reverts each day or three reverts on each of a group of pages, cast an editor in a poor light and may result in blocks." If you had done your homework, you may have perhaps noticed that those last 4 reverts by User:UBeR were only the latest in a long, LONG series of essentially the same reverts that are evidently part of a continual effort on his part, as well as a few others, to block any major updates or improvements to the politically sensitive global warming article, and its related wikis. He's been adamant, for instance, about keeping "Solar Variation" listed one of the "Causes" despite it having been rendered inconsequential by climate researchers as being a factor in current global warming. He even went so far as to have an RFC on the matter and then tried to ignore the results when they weren't what he wanted. I've had multiple issues dealing with troublesome editors like UBeR in politically touchy wiki articles -- not to mention a virtual army of sockpuppets, meatpuppets and anonymous IP's -- and it would be nice to have more admins involved in preventing such gaming, but instead I tend to have to deal with stuff like this. -BC aka Callmebc 13:31, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

??? He did 3 reverts in less than 24 hrs, I gave him a warning, and he did his 4th a day later (and there were a couple of very convenient, in-between reverts by another.) So exactly what part involves you calling things as you see them? Whatever.... -BC aka Callmebc 16:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
I am actually engaged in a complex sockpuppet/meatpuppet hunt that's inappropriate for WP:RFCU for the time being. I'm just getting a little tired of having to do admin/Arbcom work when all I'm technically is some random dude on the Internet who would like to even once in a while update/improve an article without having to take on a bunch of puppeteering right wingers by myself. But like I said (too many times), whatever.... -BC aka Callmebc 16:49, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

IF YOU COULD HELP ME IN ANY WAY

Hi! First I would really thank wikipedia and, foremost, the people that make it going -- people like you. I come from a village in Herzegovina, and throughout this century it has vittnesed many atrosities. So I desided to make a page about it, on wikipedia. Among the thing that I wrote is the genocide aginst the Serbs in 1941, in Prebilovci. And on the title I used genocide -- a user named rijeka, from croatia, has just removed that bit.

600 women and children from my village, were in 1941 slaughtered and thrown into pits near surmanci, the place were virgin mary is said to have apeared. I wrote abut this -- and rijeca removed that bit. Maby he just doesn't want people knowing about it -- that virgin maty alledgedy apears to some Croats were they cilled Serbs during the genocide.

I've also created a page called Prebilovci Massacre, and because of that, he claims, has removed a great bit of my article on Prebilovci. Among that article, he has removed of what happended in 1991; the bodies of thoose who were massacred in 1941 were blown up by a bomb placed there by Croats.

I just think this is unfair. I see it this way: that's he's missusing his power on wikipedia. Chek it put yourself, then contact me and say what do you think.

Yours Very Thruly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WebsterMasters (talk • contribs) 15:13, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Nash closing and redirect

Just a note in case you were unaware. I see that you closed the deletion discussion for Nash and redirected it the the book. However, the younger Nash is not mentioned in that article, whereas he is mentioned in the elder Nash article.

The six million dollar deletion

Noted that you went with consensus for a deletion on Six Million, but I think there was one user who had a logical idea - revert it back to what it was (an explanation of the number with a brief mention of the holocaust numbers and (I think) Jewish population).

Well, I appreciate your ability to judge each situation individually (a seemingly rare trait sometimes), however (and I've just checked the revision history again) I really don't see more than three reverts: 1, 2 & 3. My final edit today (4) didn't revert to anything. I know the main point of 3RR is to avoid edit warring, but am I missing something about a violation here? --G2bambino 05:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Sourly there must be someway we can solve this issue. My sugestion is that we get rid of the Prebilovci Massacre page, bacause the Prebilovci page was created first and what was written about the massacre was written on that page to begin with.

What the user Rijeca did, when he took away the mantion of genocide, was missuse of his power on Wikipedia -- The Free Encyclopedia. He himself is from Croatia, you can see that on his page. He also took away what was written about the atrosities committed in the Bosnien Civil War, when Croats blew up the remains of those who had been massacrd in World War Two -- which was not a genocide according to his oppinion but every one elses.

Make everything how it was before Rijeca came and deleted half the page -- who's clearly done all this because he himself is a Croat.

Not only this, he also deleted the mention of virgin Mary, who in the 1980's is said to have appered to some Croat teenager, at the very same location where they massacred Serbs in World War Two. Thet I think is very relevant to this article. And it is very clear why he did so! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Battlrefielders (talk • contribs) 10:02, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: User: Randy Blackamoor

Thank you for your assistance with dealing with this editor. I was hoping it wouldn't come to that, but when he replaied to my edits in such a way, it was clear this person wasn't going to listen to me, and that they were getting intentionally beligerent.

I'm not sure if you checked all of the correspondence I wrote in relation to this, but if you did, I could use the following input: I very much tried to not inflame the situation, and tried not to antagonize this person. If you were to give advice: did I handle this situation the right way, or could you give me advice on how to better handle it in the future? I tried to go through the policies regarding reporting this incident, but being somewhat new to this, I am always looking for advice. Thanks again! LonelyBeacon 14:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Dove Falconhand

Hi East718. While I can't argue that the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dove Falconhand was to delete, I note that the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qilué Veladorn resulted in a merge to Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms). I believe that Dove is at least as notable/well-known as Qilué, and probably more so; I thus believe a merger is more appropriate. As such, I'd like to ask you to userfy the deleted page so I can merge it into Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms). Thanks in advance! Powers T 16:27, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

The text has been merged, though not, of course, the history. Would you be willing to restore the article and redirect it so as to preserve the editing history (for GFDL reasons)? Powers T 16:35, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, East 718

Dear East718:

Thanks so much for putting a halt to the madness!

Clearly, we need an authority figure to step in and arbitrate this situation, which has been fueled by conflicts of interest on both sides (yes, I admit it).

I very much want an arbitration to get to an NPOV wiki containing only the facts. And I have tried. That said, other Parties are using Wiki to try to claim that what they are selling is FDA approved. This is entirely false (and the FDA has said as much!). The problem is that these guys are selling this drug everyday, so they have a profound financial incentive to use Wiki as a platform to claim that what they are selling is legitimate. Neither me nor the organization I work for sells ANYTHING. We only want these offenders to tell the truth and abide by the laws governing drug development.

In short, this is the origin of the conflict(s). I wish to help in any way I can in getting to an NPOV wiki.

Thanks,

Lipodissolve / Agincourtboy

Thanks for your help and getting NPOV process started again at Lipodissolve. Observed discussions with Agincourtboy but he is part of a smear campaign by a drug company that is trying to make a bundle of money of this same drug they are saying is not safe (till they are approved I guess). Note the links to "lipotreatmentfacts" - an annonymous site and many FDA references that have nothing to do with the procedure as a scare tactic and constant screaming headlines - gets old fast.

Agree many of the people involved (if not all) have a commercial interest - but this debate between the expremes is really undermining what should be a useful reference wiki. Just read through the comments from several doctors on the site to get a sense.

Anything I can do to help let me know,

Deletion

Good work East718, will try and keep the quality up. A page I wrote about a CG animator Bernard Edlington from Japan was deleted, actually rightly so by yourself, the comment was something about that a link to IMDB does not warrant Wikipedia entry. I do agree as IMDB is a paid service so I would have liked to include the original film database links from Japan so the external links I have are all in Japanese. Should I rewrite the page with all relevant (verifiable) links? My miss, should I rewrite? Nexusb 12:01, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Image correction vandal

Hello East, I spoke with you the other day about Yamla going out of his way to remove perfectly good license corrections (at the time in regards to Cock Sparrer covers). A bot has requested the same, title corrections on other images... I corrected it, and like clockwork Yamla has trollishly reverted all of the corrections again in an act intented to antagonise and stop the maximisation of Wikipedia, in violation of WP:POINT "bad faith Wikilawyering". As you said you warned him the other day and are familiar with the situation, here are the images he is up to the same tricks on, if you could provide assistance and maybe make the warning a little clearer to him.[1] Regards. - Sirenseven 16:19, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

The guy has now removed all the corrections once again and this time protected on an unfixed, violative version of the images. I mean, I was fully aware that the guy is a troll and a blithering idiot, but is this kind of blatant abuse of sysop powers really acceptable? He has gone out of his way to troll these images, and remove the simple fixes, his sole purpose of stopping them getting fixed and ultemetly deleted, trying to minimize the quality of the encyclopedia. Is there anywhere higher that I can report this moron to? I mean I've got a long and extensive log on his abuse, trolling, using sysop status in an incorrect manner. - Theguyhasnobrain 21:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

User:ALein

This user stopped vandalising long before their final warning. TigerShark 20:41, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean "it doesn't matter"? The user had stopped vandalising and you still indefinitely blocked them. As for them being a vandalism only account, they have only made a total of 12 edits, in just over an hour. Almost any account that performs vandalism will start off with a similar pattern. This block is clearly outside of the blocking policy. TigerShark 20:48, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes the edits were vandalism, of course they were. Anybody can post to AIV, your role is to verify that the user's action warrant a block. 12 vandalism edits over a period of an hour cannot be considered persistent vandalism, it is a very minor incidence of vandalism. Blocks are meant to be preventative rather than punitive. How was this block preventative if the user had stopped long before the final warning? It is at the admin's discretion to block indefinitely, but that discretion needs to be used carefully. On the criteria of blocking a user who has made 12 edits, and stopped before a final warning, almost all vandals would be indefinitely blocked. That is not what we do. TigerShark 21:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I am not too concerned about this specific block, but I am still a little concerned that you might feel this block was made within the blocking policy or was otherwise justified. Blocking when a user has stopped, especially when they stopped before a final warning is really not good, unless there are strong grounds. A very small amount of vandalism over a very small period of time are really not strong grounds because, again, that applies to almost every vandal. It would be good to hear any further thoughts you might have on this. Cheers TigerShark 21:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi again. Thanks for the note. I understand and please don't think that I am trying to criticise, I just wanted to mention it to you. Congratulations on becoming an admin and good luck. Cheers TigerShark 22:10, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Trainunion

I'm a little puzzled by the block of this user. Reviewing his edits, he appears to have been blocked for removing {prod} templates. But, users are allowed to remove {prod} templates, so I can't figure out what the vandalism is that got this user blocked. I did find one personal attack, but we wouldn't normally block people for one personal attack. Am I missing something? In my opinion, an indefinite block is excessive for a single personal attack, and removing {prod}s isn't an offense at all. Would you consider unblocking, or shortening the duration? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool. I acknowledge that this may well be a user who ends up ultimately indeffed anyway, and who is certainly not innocent, but I always prefer to hope for the best. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Wallowing in my RfA: This time it's personal...
My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities.

Post Scriptum: I believe my collaged graphic at left, which incorporates the WP globe and mop image, falls under the rubric of parody for my purposes here. Or is it satire? Regardless, it's a legitimate and legally protected First Amendment usage under US law. Complaints and allegations that this is an improper "fair use" image will be entertained on my talk page, probably with fruit juice, finger food and exotic coffees.

Georgetown, Massachusetts

Today you unprotected Georgetown, Massachusetts which had previously been protected for edit warring. Would you mind taking a look at the discussion on the talk page there and then review my actions following your unprotection? I removed a large chuck of text that many established Wikipedia editors felt was inappropriate. I have a strong feeling, though, that these questions will be called into question by newer users who instigated this edit war by adding what they felt was notable about their own town to the article.

LOTD proposal

You have nominated a recently successful WP:FL. There have been two recent proposals to begin a List of the Day feature on the main page, which have both received majorities but have not been approved as overwhelming support sufficient to change the main page. WP:LOTDP is a new proposal to try to get the ball rolling based on the original proposal. You can voice your thoughts on its talk page. Basically, what the proposal entails is attempting to run an official trial, and then vote after the trial run on whether to change the main page. Support to run a trial requires much less consensus than support to change the main page. Should we succeed at eventually getting such a feature on the main page it would tentatively look like this. Whether or not you support an experimental trial or not you should come discuss the matter at WP:LOTDP's talk page. I apologize if you have either already voiced your opinion on this matter or already tired of hearing about it.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 21:38, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

another thing as well

I think the Prebilovci Massacre page should be removed. I don't know who acctuallt created it, but since I come from the village of Prebilovci, I know that there isn't anything callaed the Prebilovci Massacre. Not everyone Serb was from that village but from other places as well. Check it out yourself. The Prebilovci Page was also written first, and the context as well.

If You Can Help...

The user Rijeca isn't stoping. He's just deleting and i'm forced to make it how it was before every time. He has no right what so ever. First: there is nothing refered to as the Prebilovci Massacre.

I myself come from Prebilovci so I know that. The Serbs hwo were massacred in 1941 at surmanci, where Virgin Mary then alledgely appeared to some Croation teenagers in the 1980's, were not just from Prebilovci. I have never heared anyting refered to as the prebilovci Massacre, maby just someone misunderstood somethin and created the page. Now Rijeca, an user from Crotion, ceeps deleting parts of the Prebilovci page and the part thet talks about the atrosities committed by Croats in 1992; The bodies of thoose who had been massacred were blown to bits by a bomb.

Please, do something. Rijeca is just missusing wikipedia, at least threw my point of view. Try do sort this out somehow beetween me and rijeca. My suggestion is that we get rid of the prebilovci Massacre page, since there's no one exept someone hwo created -- probably missunderstood something about the massacre -- the page! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Justiceinwiki (talk • contribs) 18:22, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

List of current world boxing champions

Hey, east718! As I just saw on fightnews, they wrote that the WBC have added Manny Pacquiao as emeritus champion in superfeatherweight. But they write that there are also Klitschko, Mayweather, Morales, and 2 or 3 more others. Therefore, I would recommend only to add those to our list that appear on the official WBC website under "Champions", just like Mayweather. Anyway, with six or seven more emeritus champions, you have to admit that then, it would be better to let them out... Cheers! claudevsq 16:06, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I think meanwhile that it was maybe indeed a little too early to take him out, even though he said that he would relinquish his belts, he may not yet have done so. I'll change the talk on the discussion page from "Haye vacates belts" to "Haye will relinquish titles to move up"... Cheers! claudevsq 05:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

As for the emeritus champions, the WBC published their report yesterday about rankings and mandatories, as you may have seen. It seems uncertain that Pacman stays at superfeatherweight or if he will move up. Let's just wait 2 or 3 more days for the smoke to clear up, 'cause until then, the WBC website will be done updating their rankings 'til October included, and we'll add Pac and Hopkins if they appear in the WBC website's champions list. You know I've never been too much of a friend to emeritus champions, espeially now that there are that much, I simply cannot see why B-Hop is Ring's champ at LHW and emeritus champ at MW, and he doesn't even have a belt and fights maybe once per year, who wants to see him fight anymore anyway? But if they list him, we're gonna list him too. I saw you had him as eme-champ in MW... is that because of his former accomplishments in MW, or why since he's at LHW now, it seems? Too much questions, I know... Let me just handle this, OK? You've got enough other work... ;-))) CHEERS! claudevsq 05:53, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of how the average Wikipedia reader is currently moving

Just curious how this discussion (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of how the average Wikipedia reader is currently moving) ended in deletion since clearly no "consensus" was reached with a large minority of users calling for clean/merge/rename/userfy with a lot more even split after numerous sources were added? I truly am just curious how this process works. Thanks. Ojh and one more thing, just curious if I could get a copy of the article code especially from the "cells" section as I had some unique sources already worked out for inclusion in either a user page or existing articles which lacked sources for those. I have most of the code saved on my computer but not that section. Thanks for your time. Earthdirt 21:20, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

  • I tend to disagree that most of the votes for keeping where "intersting" though many people did comment on the interestingness of the article. I am planning on merging most of the information to Orders of magnitude (speed) which is definitely a very similar, though unsourced article. I would consider hosting the "essay", but I'm not sure that it's worth the time or effort to post an essay on user space, as who would read it? Do you know of any notable user essays which get any meaningful traffic? Also, could I get a copy of the article code for the "cells" section as I had some unique sources already worked out for inclusion in either a user page and/or existing articles which lacked sources for those. I have most of the code saved on my computer but not that section. Thanks for your time. Earthdirt 22:02, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Usually, when dismissing a significant number of keep arguments (even if they are just "interesting" or "useful" ones) there should be some clear policy-based reason for deletion. Did you believe the discussion established that the article was original research, not notable, or what? Also, even though he isn't clearly requesting it, I think it would be best to userfy the article in Earthdirt's user space, since he is requesting parts of it anyway. Finally, since many people argued that the content might be appropriate in some form or another (though with a clear consensus that the title was awful), is there anything that you believe could be done to make the article, or some derivative of it, more suitable for inclusion in the mainspace? DHowell 22:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
Re: User talk:DHowell#Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of how the average Wikipedia reader is currently moving
Let me just say that I completely disagree with your interpretation of the synthesis policy, especially as it specifically says "serving to advance a position" and you specifically admitted that the article "didn't really advance any position". If we had to delete articles which simply collect information in novel ways even if they don't advance a position, we'd have to get rid of a huge amount of Wikipedia content. "Unencyclopedic" is not usually a valid reason to delete unless one can show a clear violation of What Wikipedia is not, and duplication of content is not usually a good reason to delete (though it could be a valid reason to merge or redirect). Since you also admitted there were valid reasons to keep, I think these alone should be reason enough to reverse your deletion. As far as finding sources which do collect information in this way, there is mostly educational material such as this and this, and I'm sure published printed versions of this type could be found, though these don't include the internal motions of the body. (Of course, there's also that song from Monty Python's The Meaning of Life!). Trying to find stuff which presents both the cosmological motion and internal body and microscopic motion led me to more new-age-ish type sites, such as this and this. There is at least a prima facie case to be made for this, and given more time and more thorough research more appropriate sources could probably be found, though again I don't think the synthesis policy really requires it when no position is being advanced.

Featured List of the Day Experiment

There have been a series of proposals to initiate a Featured List of the Day on the main page. Numerous proposals have been put forth. After the third one failed, I audited all WP:FL's in order to begin an experiment in my own user space that will hopefully get it going. Today, it commences at WP:LOTD. Afterwards I created my experimental page, a new proposal was set forth to do a featured list that is strikingly similar to my own which is to do a user page experimental featured list, but no format has been confirmed and mechanism set in place. I continue to be willing to do the experiment myself and with this posting it commences. Please submit any list that you would like to have considered for list of the day in the month of January 2008 by the end of this month to WP:LOTD and its subpages. You may submit multiple lists for consideration.--TonyTheTiger (t/c/bio/WP:LOTD) 01:47, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Privatemusings (talk · contribs)

Can you point to the consensus to unblock PM? He's had his unblock request rejected, and it's also been rejected on the unblock mailing list. Also I see rather strong support for the block on AN/I. I strongly suggest you reapply the block. Ryan Postlethwaite 02:17, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

A lot of people on AN/I want PM blocked from all accounts and there's a fairly strong consensus for an indef block all round. This has got to the point of being more than sockpuppetry. I'm not sure I saw David Gerrerd support the unblock and he was the blocking admin. Ryan Postlethwaite 02:23, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
The unblock of Privatemusing is inexplicable. He's making serious trouble wherever he goes.

Bernard hopkins articles

Hi. I recently added a new source to the light heavyweight article about Bernard Hopkins {making 2 total} claiming he was the first middleweight in history to jump 2 divisions and win the light heavyweight title in 1 fight. A feat Sugar Ray Robinsom failed to accomplish. Someone deletes it every time I put it up even though it it sourced from 2 places. The guy is also leaving me messages swearing at me and calling me a fucking retard. I would like this part of the article locked from vandalism and also would like to know how many sources I need before it stays up for good . Thanks in advance, Jason. Ps. Here's what it looks like.

Light Heavyweight

On June 10, 2006, Hopkins defeated The Ring Magazine Light Heavyweight champion and Roy Jones Jr. conqueror Antonio Tarver in a completely one-sided fight by a unanimous decision to win Tarver's Light Heavyweight Title. Hopkins knocked Tarver down in Round 5. Hopkins played to the crowd (made up mostly of Hopkins fans) throughout the fight including one moment, in round 10, where Hopkins turned his back to Tarver, raised his arms, and then turned back around and ran after Tarver, hitting him with a flurry of punches before the bell rang. Hopkins stated after the fight that he was "done."[4] All three judges had him winning the bout 118-109.Hopkins became the first middleweight in history to jump to the light heavyweight division and capture the title in 1 fight. He succeeded where the great Sugar Ray Robinson had failed.<ref>{{cite news | first=bert | last=sugar | coauthors= | title=RECAP: TARVER VS.

Thanks for blocking the user above. I was about to make an AIV report, actually.

The block expires in 24 hours, though, and I have a hunch that the user will bounce right back.

Nuking userspace

I have an approved sock that I was going to use. If you nuke the userspace, will it erase all record of the linkage between the two accounts? I made no big deal of it, and was in contact with only one admin when I created it, so no one should know it is me, unless I tell them. And what is the RTV policy on that? It's okay to tell wikifriends I trust what name I'm under now, correct? K. Scott Bailey (talk) 04:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

To request a username change, you need to go to WP:CHU, sorry, but the 'crats won't rename a user because one admin says so. When the account is renamed (should you put a request in), all contribs will be moved to your new account. Ryan Postlethwaite 04:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
I was referring to an approved sock I opened a few weeks back, to edit on completely different articles than I was currently focused on. I was simply going to let this name pass into oblivion, and edit under the approved sock account, if that's alright. I can e-mail you the name of the account, if you'd like. K. Scott Bailey (talk) 04:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
No it's fine unless you wanted to. But to stop your RL name being linked on wikipedia, your best bet is to request a name change at WP:CHU. It's easy to do and will mean that google searches of your name don't link to wikipedia. If privacy is your concern, I'd strongly suggest doing that. Ryan Postlethwaite 04:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
  • E-mail to East, per his statement that his e-mail wasn't working very well tonight
    • Is it okay to have it renamed to something other than <approved sock name blanked for privacy>, like say a nonsense name of some type? I want absolutely no connection between <approved sock name blanked for privacy> and the KSB account, for some on WP whom I have no interest in ever finding out where I work, live, etc. I'm not concerned with my employer knowing what I've contributed to the project. They would probably like to see it in fact, as I'm proud of my contributions to WP. I don't even want a WP:CHU request that links my new account with my account under my RL name.

Thank you for acting on my request. The version that's up now is the one that they reverted out all of all of my contributions. I guess I don't understand.

Thanks for the speedy reply. You're correct in that I am newly registered, this having been the first article to which I felt I was contributing enough to have a name for myself. I don't necessarily want it permanently userfied for me though so much as I'd just like a copy of my contribution for personal record. After the first prod to the article had been removed by another user, I had assumed the article was safe for at least a few days and didn't make a safety copy of the text then. The flag mentioning five days, and all. If this remains I problem I understand, and will hope to contact the original creator...

To thwart the evil miszabot

Did you remove the date so it won't get archived? Why shouldn't it? If I understand the bot correctly, it needs two sigs to know what to archive, anyway. — Sebastian 07:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your encouragement! I agree with all you say. In addition to the discussion on WT:AN#Frequent abuse of AN for personal vendetta, which triggered the moves, I see your points as another advantage of subpages. They will just remain where they are and links to them will never change. — Sebastian 07:35, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
This "reply on your page" thing is really confusing: I was waiting for your reply here, and did not realize that your message on my talk page was meant as a reply to this question, especially since you changed the title to a nondescript "AN/I". If you wanted to change the title, it would have been helpful to keep a link to this message with its original title.
I don't see how your reply is answering my question. What does the date of a maintenance message have to do with the link to a subpage, such as Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Deeceevoice?
Please reply here, I really prefer to keep conversations in one place - among other reasons, for one reason that you just described is important to you, too: To be able to refer to it. I'll be watching it for a while, which also protects you from vandalism. — Sebastian 07:55, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
(moved from User talk:SebastianHelm) Now I'm really confused as to where you want me to reply. Just shoot me an email. east.718 at 07:59, November 20, 2007
I simply prefer to keep a thread together. My question is here, so I prefer to have the reply here, as well. I really don't see what's confusing about that. I don't mind using e-mail, but in this case, that would just spread out the conversation to yet another place. — Sebastian 08:09, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
I see; I prefer my discussions fractured (the "new messages bar" is there for a reason). As for your question, the reason why timestamps should be removed from subpages is because the bot will archive the "this thread has been moved to a subpage at blah blah blah" message prematurely; nobody will be able to find the discussion then. Removing the timestamp allows the message to stay live as long as the subpage discussion does, at which point it can be archived manually. For example, when Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents/Give us your fucking money runs its course, I'd just add a blank post to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Give us your fucking money, which would then let the thread get moved off the main page. east.718 at 08:20, November 20, 2007
OK, I see. I read somewhere that either this bot or a similar one only archives conversations that have at least two signed contributions, but I can't find that on User:MiszaBot II. Would it help if only the time, and not the date was removed? That would make it easier to archive old threads: When people aren't as thorough as you are and forget to add the blank post, then someone (or maybe even a modified version of the bot) can see that a thread is already over two weeks old and archive it. (Regarding the "new messages bar": I have a "keep thread together box" on my talk page for a reason, too, so I guess we both were ignoring the other's request.) — Sebastian 08:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Deleting the entry regarding Mega AS Consulting

Hi,

I have entered the Mega AS Consulting information yesterday.

The information that was there before, was also entered by me. That in formation, as stated is relevant and factual about an innovative company and technology, same as other companies in that industry.

Unknown to me, another Administrator has decided to remove the same entry. Since I did not know about it, I did not have a chance to respond to his allegations and that abuse of administrator power has caused me real harm as it hurt my credibility which is an asset.

I have no idea who User:STLMatt is. He does not work for Mega AS. What ever he has done is his own responsibility and I have no clue about it. It has nothing to do AT ALL with Mega AS Consulting Ltd and thus the value of the entry should be on the face of it and NOT on someone else's actions.

Once I discovered (yesterday) that the company was removed I created it again, as before, in the same format as other companies in the same industry.

I believe I'm correct in saying that there is no Spam in this removed page, just facts about an interesting company with innovative technology. That technology is different enough to be interesting to many people who are looking for alternative. If you agree that other companies, in the same industry have the right to their entry, then the same should apply to Mega AS Consulting Ltd.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi there, I saw you had taken an interest in the Gründerzeit article which was recently up for deletion. I have translated most of the original article (it has since been revised in the original, but there we go ....) and it seems to be better. Would you cast an eye over it and let me know if you think it is up to scratch? I do think it deserves a place in the encyclopaedia. Many thanks. docboat (talk) 04:13, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

UFC Fight Night 12

Lordvader2009 keeps removing the AfD link for this page while the discussion is still ongoing. I've warned him about it a couple of times, but he just blanks his talk page and does it again without addressing the problem.

Ok. Thanks a lot so far. I still have no clue how the Unicode thing works. But I'll try to figure it out on my own, makes for a good exercise.

LL/Kool Moe Dee battle

This was never resolved, yet you took it down. Collectonian and one other person decided that it was "interpretation", "rumor", etc. and I challenged them to show me what was interpretation; they stop responding (except to reiterate the baseless claim); yet they win the dispute by default? Collectonian's whole premise was that it was "not notable", and even you said it was notable! (And I noticed a lot of people started complaining about his deletions in other subjects in one day!)

I don't know what other type of sources they want for that, then. It was a lyrical battle; not a real life personal beef, and this article was really no different than any of the others on hip hop rivalries (e.g. they all use the same sort of references. That is they type of info you find for rap history).And yes, please restore to my space.Eric B (talk) 14:34, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I guess I'll have to take your offer, then. Even though I have been here almost 3 years, I am still "new" in some respects, as overall, I have not edited that frequently. So I just do not know what exactly you all want for that article. It was a battle of lyrics (diss records aimed back and forth at each other). This was clearly mentioned in nearly all of those links, but they were all ruled out for being blog articles. Since it is about lyrics, all one needs to know is that there was an exchange of diss records, and the lyrics prove it, and so do the blog commentaries. I do not understand what else is required for it to be considered "verified". If it's only published magazine and books, then please look into those those books you have. Apparently, they are not available online, because I searched dozens and dozens od websites, and pretty much all I found were those blog type articles. I had commented in the discussion that the battle was so old, (from well before the internet age), so it will be hard to find those types of references. And I checked, and those blogs are the same type of source used by most rap articles; especially battles. That's why I could not understand why this one was being scruninized.
Like what happened to "cleanup" tags, or "this article needs sources" tags, if it was so questionable?
I also found it fishy how the delete tag went up four minutes after I first posted it! I mean; I had just clicked post, then went and added a short comment to the discussion page, and when I click back to the article, there the tag is! What is that about? The only thing I could imagine how someone could find, then read, and then make that decision and tag it in that amount of time was that they had it on a watchlist. There used to be an article titles "LL Cool J vs Kool Moe Dee; which I saw on a mirror site while doing my research, but it appeared to be a copy and paste of a website; so I couuld see why that was deleted. Then, all mention of the battle was completely removed from the LL Cool J article! And then, for them to claim it was not notable. So I just thought all of this suspicious, like someone doesn't want there to be an article on this battle.Eric B (talk) 00:20, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

One, I'm a her. Two, all I said was to stop vandalizing pages and moving pages that shouldn't be move. That's not saying someone shouldn't edit pages, it's saying someone should do it correctly, with correct grammar and MOS additions. Look at the grammar, you might see what I meant. No caps, bad grammar. Those types of edits make Wiki look bad. Regardless, the minor warnings I gave were because of unwarranted page moves and unwarranted edits. That's all.

Sorry to have defended myself. I didn't realize that was stalking. Generally when I'm being repeatedly asked odd questions on my talk page, I will look at a users contributes. If that's stalking, so be it, but I was just defending myself and explaining that I didn't say not to edit the Days pages, just do it correctly and don't move pages against consensus. I had no clue fixing errors by other editors was stalking. The soap project seems to get many a vandal, some of us are on heightened patrol of certain articles. If we didn't have watch lists, full pages would be being blanked as happened this morning on a page I watch. Not by the above user, but it happened all the same.

Yes, I'm a big meany. Here's what I wrote: Your recent edits to Days of our Lives articles
It is considered vandalism to remove complete sections of an article as you did on the List of Days of our Lives cast members. The list is separate from the main article for a reason. Do not continue to edit in such a manner, removing sections as you did. It will be reported.
Interesting how both Drnorth16 and Car5ly came to you rather than reporting my "meanness" in the proper project page. Removing full sections of an article can be considered vandalism. The "warning" didn't even say "warning" it was a simple statement and nothing that could be considered a "revokable" offense. It's not like I called Drnorth16 names, just made a statement. A factual one at that. CelticGreen (talk) 00:27, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
To clarify, I'm sure Drnorth's readdition of the cast lists was in good faith, but they were moved to separate articles because of their length and to keep the main Days article more stable. Cast lists for soaps change so often that this is a common procedure for larger and better-developed soap articles (and other series, for that matter). In an article's quality assessment, frequent edits/updates and the inclusion of lists reflect badly on overall quality. Drnorth should not be surprised to be reverted or reprimanded when making such a large change without discussion. In any case, CelticGreen is an invaluable and knowledgable editor and this should certainly go no further. — TAnthonyTalk 01:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

The Cheryl Bentov article was developed over 2-3 years with dozens of edits by a half-dozen editors. To delete it after a non-debate scheduled during American Thanksgiving is ill-considered at best. It seems to me you should have contacted some of the editors of the article so they could weigh in, or at least have waited for the holiday to be over. Moreover, rather than deleting the article, which is appropriate only if the article is useless, you should have changed it to a redirect so that your (again, ill-considered) actions could be undone.

I restored the article before I realized that you had actually deleted the article on purpose. If you truly believe that the data in the Bentov article fits better in the Mordechai Vanunu article, then you should move it into that article. But removing valuable information from Wikipedia that fits nowhere else, about a legitimate subject with multiple extant newspaper articles online with her as the main subject, is... heck, let's call a spade a spade: boneheaded.

As I mentioned in Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_deletion/Cheryl_Bentov, the rationale for deleting the Bentov article could be used to delete the Seung-Hui Cho article, since he is "only" famous for the Virginia Tech massacre.

Yeap, I'm watching the contribution log. There were two unblock requests that came in at the same time and one was created a few weeks back. I'll keep my eyes open. --Yamla (talk) 15:58, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Lizz Robbins

I was wondering why the page "Lizz Robbins" was deleted —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knicksfan4ever (talk • contribs) 17:39, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Lizz_Robbins. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Knicksfan4ever (talk • contribs) 20:15, 27 November 2007

I deleted the recreation of the deleted page and have endorsed my deletion and yours for good measure! BencherliteTalk 00:41, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Yep, I hope this will be over soon. I guess the shit is starting to hit the fan. :-/ Miranda 04:17, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Dancing with the Stars (US season 5)

Do you think you could up this to a full protection? It's actually autoconfirmed editors who make edits like this. Or do I need to do it formally? I (talk) 04:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. But would you mind restoring the correct table? The table when you initally protected it is the correct one (for now). I suppose it will have to be amended when the results are announced, but I'd rather it not say someone won when it's not for sure. I (talk) 04:22, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Don Mattingly Promotional

Wait wait wait wait. What happened the the dispute I put there? What happened to the discussion over the image? What happened to some sort of discussion before it was deleted? The free image was not a replacement for the fair use one. It was a completely different subject. If you disagreed, or thought it didn't conform with policy, or something like that, then you should have just said something to me, rather than deleting it. -Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 04:33, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

It was Image:MattinglyPromotional.jpg. I've never come across this issue before, so I most likely broke protocol or misapplied the template, but I still think that the image is not replacable by the free version. - Silent Wind of Doom (talk) 04:39, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

User:Teremoana

I would like to know why you removed the entry I made to the Administrator Intervention Against Vandalism. The user has on numerous occasions inserted uncited and likely false information regarding unaired episodes of several reality shows, has ignored final warnings (and also erased them from his/her talk page) and has also been blocked once before for the same behaviour. To my mind, that constitutes obvious vandalism. ... discospinster talk 04:59, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Houston Voice

Can you tell me if Talk:Houston Voice had the LGBT project banner on it? Just curious because my bot should have noticed that it was prodded and it didn't. Many thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 05:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

When you get a chance, could you userfy Genre (magazine) to my userspace? Or at least on my talk page. And I know you weren't the "closing admin", but can I get David Atlanta as well? Thanks!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by SatyrTN (talk • contribs) 23:33, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Removing links to deleted articles

I've noticed you clean-up links to articles you delete, thanks! One quick thing though you have sometimes just the link from and left the text from articles listed in 'see also' sections or the List of martial arts when the whole entry should be removed, hope this helps --Nate1481( t/c) 10:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

a complaint

I am writing to inform my displeasure of you deleting 'timmyland'. The japanese theme park. It is a real place, so why delete it? Get your facts right, and double check before deleting something. --Dantheman555 (talk) 13:36, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

New image

East, is the image I added to Paper Tapes here appropriately tagged? I don't think I've gotten the hang of doing that, yet. It's hard, to me, because there is {{Non-free album cover}} AND {{Non-free use rationale}}, and my brain tells me that I should really only need one of them at a time. Thanks. —ScouterSig 16:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Really??!?! You could undelete the old image? That would be awesome, because it's higher quality (though not TOO much) than the one I (re)uploaded. In fact, google image search's highest hits for the cover are the Wikipedia article! If you would undelete it, I would retag it. —ScouterSig 16:25, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Range block

Hey East, thanks for blocking the 67.55.6.0/24 range. You can see all the throwaway IPs at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/IP check#Europebound2007. I wish I knew more about range blocks to deal with this stuff. Spellcast (talk) 03:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Also, I don't know if you can help out here but I've been encountering another bounce hopping IP. Check out the block log of User:Extraordinary Machine and you'll see all these disruptive IPs from Israel. If you can help out there, that'd be great. Otherwise, an abuse report or check user will probably be filed. Spellcast (talk) 03:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Google Pack

Hi East718, you responded to my request at WP:RFPP for semi protection on this article stating the IP was blocked. But blocking an IP doesn't address the issue on the Google Pack page since the poster is IP hoping and has returned again [13]. Any chance you could semi the page for a short time? I find this frequently gets spammers to give up and find some other website to abuse. Thanks. -- SiobhanHansa 04:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! -- SiobhanHansa 04:14, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I've also semi-protected Raffle, Her Name Is Nicole, Counting Crows, and Saturday Nights, Sunday Mornings as they're being spammed by the same user. Spellcast (talk) 17:18, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I already blacklisted the URLs on MediaWiki:Spam-blacklist. They are countingcrowsnew.blogspot.com, freemodlife.blogspot.com, googlepackdownload.blogspot.com, 5050-raffle.blogspot.com, gpd2008.blogspot.com, and itsleaked.blogspot.com. After blacklisting them, these two accounts popped up: Hithere999 and Spoilcast. If you type in the full URL, it doesn't let you continue. But they just avoid the spam filter by leaving out the "http://". I just hope that checkuser works out. Spellcast (talk) 17:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy delete the original research image Image:Teutonic_takeover.PNG is used in edit wars at Teutonic takeover of Danzig (Gdańsk), History of Gdańsk (Danzig), Pomerelia in order to supersede the proper sourced map Image:Pommerellen.png. It is part of a compaingn by some Poles to deny the 600y years of history of Danzig. They also make an attempt to rally a posse to overthrow the results of the Gdansk/Danzig vote, see also Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_November_30#Template:Gdansk-Vote-Results. -- Matthead  DisOuß   14:54, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Metric height suggestion

Since you're also a member of the WikiProject Boxing, I'd like to tell you something. In some media, I noticed for some time that the height of a person in metric terms is usually measured in centimeters (cm) not meters. Perhaps this is because meters are too long and less accurate. Thus, I suggest this should apply to those boxing biographies here that currently using meters for metric height. Do you agree? FoxLad (talk) 22:04, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
