[edit] Hear Hear!<Applauds> [1] Couldn't have put it better! Jmlk17 21:07, 1 February 2008 (UTC) It's just getting a bit nuts. No one's going to end up completely happy with the end result(s). Jmlk17 22:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] BRC[edit] Scooter (Coronation Street character)You deleted the page for Scooter (Coronation Street character) with the comment, “Prod left uncontested for five days.” You evidently did not look at the page carefully before deleting it, because the proposal for deletion was not unconstested. Now, by deleting the article, no one can merge its contents into a more appropriate article. I know you see your task — according to your user page — as policing the speedy deletions, etc.. But, perhaps next time you could — please, and with all due respect — read the related discussions more carefully. In this instance, the deletion was (1) contested and (2) once deleted, its contents appear forever lost and cannot be put where their presence would perhaps have been more appropriate. Please advise how one can at least obtain a copy of the page you deleted so that the merger task can be completed. — SpikeToronto (talk) 23:56, 5 February 2008 (UTC) In the discussion area that was set up to debate the merits of deleting or keeping the article, which you read, I had wanted to insert its contents into an article that deals with minor and recurring Coronation Street characters. Also, I had been thinking that, since this minor character’s only relevance was his forming a mixed race couple with Sarah Platt, he could also be inserted into the details forming her backstory, in her article. I will tell you one lesson I have learned from all this deletion mess: Act unilaterally. If I had done so, the few details that existed about this character would now be in the recurring characters article and the Sarah Platt article. In the meantime, I repeat my earlier request: Please advise how one can obtain a copy of the deleted page so that these tasks can be completed. If you can provide me with the text of the deleted article, I can edit it into the recurring characters article and the Sarah Platt article. — SpikeToronto (talk) 05:31, 6 February 2008 (UTC) Actually, I was just adding a comment about a redirect from Scooter (Coronation Street character), when you posted! I will definitely need your help with redirecting since it is beyond my ability. In the meantime, I will get to work adding him to the other two articles. After that is complete, I will post back here to your talk page so that you can re-delete the article. Thanks. — SpikeToronto (talk) 05:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC) Done! I’ve added the character to the Corrie recurring characters article. His section is located here. Would you please redirect Scooter (Coronation Street character) so that it goes to his section at the recurring characters article. Also, I have already created a wikilink in the Sarah Platt article where he is mentioned therein. Thanks. — SpikeToronto (talk) 05:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Prod deletionsJust a brief note to let you know that when you delete prods you need to give an informative deletion reason. "Prod left uncontested for five days" really isn't at all informative. Regards, RMHED (talk) 03:18, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] ImageCould your please do me a favour and rollback Image:Rangerslogo.jpg -- I am not the person who added it, but I can add FUR. DMighton (talk) 04:09, 6 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Section Deletions, NominatingIs it possible to nominate not an entire article for deletion, but merely a section of it? For instance, I would like to nominate the Jan Wong Controversy section of the Anti-Quebec sentiment article for deletion. I added this idea to the TalkPage for the article here, but so far it has generated zero disucssion. Anyway, the article has had POV-section and Unreferencedsection tags for a little while, but no one has sought to fix it. Personally, I think that the section should be retained, but desperately needs to be fixed. As it stands now, it is not encyclopedic: It is an opinion piece. I do not feel sufficiently knowledgeable in the area to make the necessary corrections. However, I hope that a nomination for deletion of the section might stimulate those more acquainted with the issue to remedy its problems. (By the way, if you could direct to me to where one makes enquiries such as this in the future, I won’t bother you again!) Thanks. — SpikeToronto (talk) 07:20, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the help! — SpikeToronto (talk) 01:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Ubisoft ReflectionsUbisoft Reflections redirects to Reflections Interactive, company name which doesn't exist anymore. Moving Reflections Interactive to Ubisoft Reflections is not possible since the history has been altered. Only you have the power ot either move that page or delete Ubisoft Reflections' page so that I can move it. ⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 20:23, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, that's right!! Ubisoft bought Reflections Interactive and changed its name to Ubisoft Reflections. ⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 20:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for moving the Reflections Interactive's page. Ok, I follow your advice next time I move an article.⇨ EconomistBR ⇦ Talk 21:12, 7 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] ImageYou said you have a double of this image. Where is that, for the spring break article? Thanks! нмŵוτнτ 17:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
Haha, it's nothing imperative, god knows... so don't completely throw yourself out! The article would just be wonderful with an image, and if you already had one somewhere, it would be wonderful. нмŵוτнτ 17:15, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
I mean, it doesn't have to be Miami beach. Any spring break destination would work there, but it would have to be during spring break. нмŵוτнτ 18:15, 9 February 2008 (UTC) Whatever picture you think would work in the spring break article. нмŵוτнτ 22:54, 9 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] TlatoSMDHe created that draft on 27 Nov 07, before ACS was purged from the mainspace. The intention was to collect sources, unhindered by deletionism I gather. GrooV (talk) 06:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Picture of Paul WilliamsIt appears you removed that photo of the boxer Paul Williams. I object, that photo isn't lacking any sources or information. There's a link on it's page telling where it's from. 210.4.100.146 (talk) 02:53, 10 February 2008 (UTC) Okay, here it is. The image that was added to the Paul Williams article comes from the Boxing Encyclopedia, a wiki-based encyclopedia. One more thing. When you find something that appears to be lacking some details, please don't just go on and remove it. Please tell to the uploader about the situation and give them enough time to specify it. 210.4.122.94 (talk) 04:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image:Justices 3dca.jpgI do not understand why you speedy deleted the image after I put on a dispute template and explained on the talk page. In light of my disputing it, I think if you still wish to have it deleted, it would be more appropriate to submit it to a deletion discussion. Please reconsider. --Nlu (talk) 00:01, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Thank you. --Nlu (talk) 00:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] usernameDid you ever have a previous username, perhaps Bkstone? You don't need to answer. I was just curious. =) нмŵוτнτ 20:57, 11 February 2008 (UTC) Oh, alright. I just knew there was a user by that name once, and thought it could possibly be you. Nevermind. Carry on! нмŵוτнτ 07:19, 12 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Regarding TomKatI know that it's a fact that Suri was born out of wedlock, but linking that to illegitimacy seems a bit...outdated. 12.146.102.46 (talk • contribs • info • WHOIS), the IP user who added it, has been doing the same thing to a lot of articles and most of the time, it's not a relevant fact. It seems that this user is pushing the point of view that it's a bad thing to have kids out of wedlock. --clpo13(talk) 00:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC) No problem, I was just explaining my edit. --clpo13(talk) 02:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Indeedwell said. Dlohcierekim Deleted? 05:32, 13 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] WP:HOTTIE...againYou guys are having some fun with that, eh? :P GlassCobra 08:30, 13 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Re: February 2008Welcome to reality. In response to your message: I shall resume to delete that foul image as long as time permits. I understand that Wikipedia is uncensored, but such an image is simply unnecessary. The sketch depicts the act well enough -- there is no need for further illustration. -- Grammaticus VII (talk) 22:55, 13 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] BathrobeSweet! White doors do seem to be a prominent theme with us; I hadn't noticed, haha. Well, as you can see, we've taken our pictures all over, from bedrooms to bathrooms to living rooms. So...wherever, really. :) GlassCobra 01:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Valentines day Happy valentines day!!! Will you be my wiki-valentine!? Ryan Postlethwaite 02:16, 14 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Grey BarHi Hmwith, as per my aside at Talk:Muhammad: It only seems to happen when your signature appears at the end of a line. It's not a huge thing, but yours is the only situation I've ever actually seen it happen in. I have a feeling it might be related to the "padding" directive in your CSS, although it's technically allowed I'm not sure that not filling in all four attributes is recommended. Either way, no big deal, especially since I can see what you say when I view the Wikitext anyway! Lankiveil (speak to me) 01:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC) I've done a little playing with your signature in the preview screen, and I simply cannot get it to not do that. Again, not a huge problem at all, just thought I'd let you know. It's probably really just Opera 9.25 doing something funky. Cheers, Lankiveil (speak to me) 11:28, 18 February 2008 (UTC). [edit] Regarding the Bahá'u'lláh articleI sympathize and agree to a non-censorship platform on the basis that it prevents people from seeing or hearing things that are important and informative. This does neither. Instead of preventing people from seeing something it gives them the option of viewing it at their discretion. I am a Bahá'í, and I myself have even viewed the photograph, so as to verify its authenticity (which is questionable, but that's another issue) and to maintain the article near it, at which time I simply scrolled to the corner of it and adblocked it so I wouldn't have to view it inadvertently. In truth, you are the one actually removing information in the article preventing others from seeing it. The only information given is that there is a photograph. It does not say "some individuals may not wish to see this" or "this is offensive and you should not look at it." The information is provided in a neutral, factual, and informative manner. The fact that it is conducive to Bahá'ís efforts to avoid viewing the photograph in such a fashion is a moot point, as there is nowhere that it says that wikipedia has to shove information into the faces of the unsuspecting. Being convenient isn't against wikipedia policy. If you observe the actual guidelines followed in WP:NOTCENSORED you will see that having that information in there does not remove the content of the article. It cannot be considered censorship. If you want to attack it on something, you can attack it on a format issue, but really then who's the one manipulating it to say what they want? I suggest you make peace with it frankly. It does harm to no one and doesn't damage the article's accuracy or content. Peter Deer (talk) 03:43, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] User_talk:Grammaticus_VIIIsn't a day more appropriate on this block, as far as I'm aware even more severe first time Trolling or Embarrassment offenses only warrant a weeks blocking... ☯Ferdia O'Brien (T)/(C) 17:03, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Two weeks sounds about right, taking into account the IP editing that is. For the most part, Grammaticus was an alright editor before this pictures business started, he just needs to realise that just because he doesn't like something, doesn't mean it shouldn't be there. ☯Ferdia O'Brien (T)/(C) 19:38, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Luis RoblesWhy was the Luis Robles page removed? I looked around and was not able to find a reason. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.131.67.135 (talk) 17:10, 18 February 2008 (UTC) He does play in a fully professional league: Go to Team and then PROFIS He is the number 2, and sees playing time with the reserve team which plays in the Oberliga (4th level). Please put the page back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.131.67.135 (talk) 00:06, 20 February 2008 (UTC) For more info: http://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?t=487706 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.131.67.135 (talk) 00:09, 20 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] DiscussionHi, a discussion on censorship is going on in Wikipedia_talk:Featured_picture_candidates#Nude_images. Some images related to nudity were nominated by me for FP. Probably many of them may not satisfy featured picture criteria, but that will be dicided throuh discussion. As I have nominated some images on nudity, one person have made personal attacks against me. I am strongly opposed to any kind of cessorship, and dislike conservative attitude. I believe the people feeling problem with such images, should not look at them. Or the images can be included in hide box. But I am strongly opposed to any kind of censorship. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 09:56, 19 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] RE ^demon's RfAThanks. I know I should have dug up the diffs myself; sorry for being lazy, but I have exams coming up and have very little time to edit. :-( WaltonOne 09:34, 20 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Changes to Fancy ratHi! I wanted to thank you for adding those sources, and other changes you made to the article. I made some revisions/reversions, some of them to yours, some of them other people's. Since you made so many edits recently, I thought you would want to see what i did. If you have any questions, or feel that things would be better in a different way, i look forward to discussing this article more with you. Happy editing! -ΖαππερΝαππερ BabelAlexandria 17:25, 20 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] 3RR warning on my Talk pageI would like a fuller explanation of that warning. To set the stage: I reverted an edit on Michigan-Ohio State rivalry that had been discussed some months previously on the Talk page and then not made. (In fact I think it had been added, removed, and then after discussion, left off.) When another editor (you) added the same edit back in despite the prior discussion, without taking the matter to the Talk page, I reverted it again, and added a lengthy explanation to the existing discussion on the Talk page. After these two reversions (not the four that the 3RR rule prohibits), you gave me a 3RR warning and chided me for not trying to achieve consensus. I reverted what appeared to be a settled matter to the status quo ante and tried to take the matter to the Talk page - how is it that *I* am the one being warned for failing to try to reach consensus? JohnInDC (talk) 16:43, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the prompt and straightforward reply. JohnInDC (talk) 20:28, 26 February 2008 (UTC) Oh, you must've been a *joy* during the Cooper years! (Our turn to suffer now though.) JohnInDC (talk) 20:36, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. Could you weigh in on it there? I feel like I'm Talking to a wall! JohnInDC (talk) 22:56, 26 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] Pickup linesHahaha, dude, saying I edit Wikipedia is my pick-up line. That's how I get guys during happy hour. You know, cite Wikipedia policy while dancing on the bars. I mean come on! нмŵוτнτ 20:30, 26 February 2008 (UTC) Haha, men sure seem to WP:LOVE a certain WP:UNCENSORED WP:ETIQUETTE, however. нмŵוτнτ 20:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC) Ohh, I fixed the link of BRC.

[edit] Three reverts commentHey, I did not make any reverts within 24 hours (or indeed 48 hours) on that page and don't appreciate the comment from you that I did so. Nor did I attack you and nor was I uncivil to you, though the latter two allegations are, I suppose, interpretable according to the eye of the beholder. But no intent such intent was there.Faustian (talk) 21:41, 29 February 2008 (UTC) [edit] RE: ImageHeyy, look at that! Don't worry about it being from a cell phone; Jmlk's was too. I'll go and put you up now, and then make an avatar that you can use on the forums. :) GlassCobra 05:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC) P.S.
