The deathrocker guys keeps vandalising my stuff wich is why I vandalised his page. Please tell him to stop- Hoponpop69.

I am new to contributing to Wikipedia and learning quickly. I appreciate the input received and would like to have a chance to work up a more encyclopedic article on a person from Ottawa. If I mistakenly created a second article, that was not my intention rather I wanted to edit what was there. Can I get this article restored so I may do the editing according to the guidelines?

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Irongargoyle

It looks like your RfA is going to go through smoothly, so allow me to be the first to congratulate you on your promotion! Please ask if you have any questions about admin status. (aeropagitica) 00:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations, you are now an administrator! If you haven't already, now is the time to look at the Wikipedia:Administrators' how-to guide and the Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me, or use the Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard. All the best, Warofdreams talk 03:07, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Congratz on getting the mop and bucket! If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. (contact me cuz i'm cooler than those noobs above) --Nishkid64 18:05, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Very good. I hope the advanced buttons will serve you well on this project as we further this adventure. Enjoy them - you have earned them. JungleCat talk/contrib 03:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations on your promotion, and you're very welcome! --MerovingianTalk 13:53, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations. Here are what pass for words of wisdom from the puppy:
  1. Remember you will always protect the wrong version.
  2. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5)
  3. Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll.
  4. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block.
  5. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology.
  6. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Memory Alpha articles

Sorry, you're wrong when you said "memory alpha is GFDL just like we are" when removing the speedy tag from Isolytic subspace weapons, please see the Memory Alpha article. The lead paragraph says :-

"The contents of Memory Alpha are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial license. Because this license does not allow commercial reuse, it is incompatible with the GFDL, and material from the site cannot be copied into projects that use the GFDL."

Accordingly I will be restoring the speedy deletion tag momentarily. Thankyou. I do however find it mildly disturbing that a Wikipedia Administrator was unaware of this. exolon 16:28, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

I was aware that CC licences are incompatible. What I was not aware of was that memory alpha was not GFDL. It was an honest mistake from a misreading of the memory alpha page late at night, I saw the words "free licence" and moved on. Better a more conservative use of my tools, given that I am a recent admin. Best, Irongargoyle 17:08, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for defending my user page! :) Jacek Kendysz 13:31, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Response to your message

I'm very flattered that you asked for my input! I'm not even a week old as an admin. The creator of that article previously submitted a vanity piece which was deleted. In that article (Oskar manning), he put the same thing in at the end of it. I'd say indefblock him as a vandal-only account. I'd then post about it on WP:AN because, while it's most likely a childish prank, it is a threat, and one of the more seasoned admins can provide more information. -- Merope Talk 15:12, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:AN is a good idea, I just saw your name in the deletion log and recognized it from my RfA. Thanks for your help. Irongargoyle 15:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Ah, that makes much more sense--I didn't think I had established a reputation for being particularly knowledgeable. But I do delete things often! -- Merope Talk 15:18, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Nick Pile vandal

Hi,

The user had no previous blocks, and only a light warning on Oskar Manning; he also had, however, no useful contributions. I have blocked him for a week with a very stern warning -- I wouldn't object to an indef. block, but bear in mind that it is possible to convert many a mischief school-kid to a useful Wikipedian, hence my leniency. Death threats are gross violations and are, IMO, blockable offenses even if there has been no prior warning. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:28, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA

My pleasure...congrats. PJM 11:07, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

My RfA and question

Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks for your support in my RfA. I really appreciate it! :-) On a side note, I was wondering what you meant when you said you disagree with my "notability work"? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that term. Was it something on AfD? I meant to ask you that before because I was quite curious, but it slipped my mind. Best, Irongargoyle 01:57, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Oh, there were several October 5, "nn-warn". While I had no previous interest in those articles, I disagree that "notability" should be an over-riding concern. I tend to lean towards "all the world's knowledge", and "Wikipedia isn't paper". But, from what I can tell, notability is just as valid an opinion for wikipedians as both of those perspectives. (I won't be trite and mention that notability is just an essay : )

Anyway, that's somewhat what I was talking about. But, as I said, it wasn't, and isn't, enough in my opinion to even be neutral. You seem to do awesome (and often thankless) work here, and I was more than happy to support : )

Hope that clarifies. If not, feel free to ask. (Your page is now "watched" : ) - jc37 21:11, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

STBot

Hi Irongargoyle, I wanted to get back to you about the edit my bot made. Note that my link to Cats looks the same as Cats. It is a feature in the meadiwiki system, and I believe it also works with Cated, however much sense that makes, and others. Thanks! ST47Talk 18:49, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

That's pretty cool, I never noticed that. Thanks. Irongargoyle 18:51, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
No problem sir, thanks for looking out for the Wiki! ST47Talk 19:45, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka

That's a very pertinent question you asked! My one concern is whether in the heat of battle, she'd stick to her answer, which is why I asked question 6. Otherwise, she appears to have a lot of potential as an admin. --A. B. 14:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

RfA - reply

Thank you very much for your question, as it's definitely an issue that many people seem to have concerns about. I have answered on the RfA page, and am also copy/pasting the question and answer here for your own records (since that page is getting really long):

Q: Under what conditions (if any) would you edit an article relating to yourself or a close family member in the future? Are there any limits on the types of edits you would make? Also, if a user were blatantly vandalizing one of the afformentioned pages, would you use your tools to block said vandal after appropriate warnings were given? Irongargoyle 04:03, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
A: I am in full agreement with WP:AUTO, that it is very difficult to write about oneself in a completely neutral manner, and that it is far better for a third party to write an article about someone, to ensure objectivity and neutrality. Accordingly, to avoid even the appearance of partiality, I no longer participate in the editing of articles about me or my immediate family. My last edit to the Elonka Dunin bio was over five months ago, in May, and I have no intention to further edit it. The only reason I could think of which would make me reconsider that stand, would be to revert vandalism, and even then it would only be if the vandalism were extreme in nature, and no one else had gotten to it for an extended period of time, since I firmly believe that *any* major vandalism involving profanity or personal attacks, makes Wikipedia look bad no matter whose article it is on. But even at that point, I would still try to find another neutral editor to make the call, rather than doing it myself. I would also not take any direct action against any such vandal, but would instead allow that decision to be made by other administrators.

If you have any other questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to ask! :) --Elonka 07:35, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hiya, I noticed that you had questions about the CoS page that I made. If you'd like, I'd be happy to explain its purpose, but I couldn't quite tell if your question was rhetorical or not. If you have no interest, I understand, and apologize for bothering you. If you're curious though, let me know. :) --Elonka 23:57, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

(followup) Thank you for participating in my recent RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. I do, however, appreciate that you took the time to comment, and I did pay close attention to your thoughts, as I do find it a valuable thing to understand how I am perceived by others in the Wikipedia community. Now that the RfA is closed, I plan to continue supporting the Wikipedia project, just as I did before the RfA. And if there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. --Elonka 07:22, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:RFA/Cynical

Thank you for contributing to my RFA. Unfortunately it failed (final tally 26/17/3). As a result of the concerns raised in my RFA, I intend to undergo coaching, get involved in the welcoming committee and try to further improve the quality of my contributions to AFD and RFA. All the best. Cynical 14:58, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting some of the annoying vandalism on my userpage. --The Great Llama(speak to the Llama!) 22:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hey Irongargoyle,

I just wanted to thank you for your support in my recent request for adminship, which passed unanimously with a final tally of 38/0/0. I appreciate your trust, and will do my best to uphold it. Don't hesitate to let me know if you ever need anything. — TKD::Talk 05:49, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for supporting my RfA

Thank you for your support in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of (56/0/2). It was great to see so much kind support from such competent editors and administrators as commented on my RfA.

I know I have much reading to do before I'll feel comfortable enough to use some of the more powerful admin tools, so I'll get right to it.

Again, thanks;  OzLawyer / talk  13:37, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for your kind words and support during my recent RfA. I especially take pride in your praise of my answers, as grad students are always in full-on analytical mode and are often the best gauge of quality writing (I finished my MA a couple years ago). If I can ever be of serivce, do not hesitate to drop me a line. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 16:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The Barnstar of Extraordinary Kindness
I was reading over Kingboyk's talk page in curiousity to see if he ever replied to my appeal to my block appeal. I was a little disappointed to see my comment without a reply, but when I scrolled down a few comments, I saw this. I was greatly touched by the kind gesture of PMC and yourself defending me on that issue. For that kindness and dedication to your work, I award you the Barnstar of Extraordinary Kindness. Thank you so much! --lovelaughterlife♥talk? 05:15, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

So sorry!

Recently I was messing with User:Sporks.Are.Loverly as a joke and it was taken as vandalism. I'm sorry, I can see why that would come across as vandalism. I guess I'll have to refrain from little pranks like that. 74.140.212.215 13:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Happy Holidays!


Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays, Irongargoyle!

Wishing you a very happy holidays, full of laughter and good times! Hope you have an awesome beginning to 2007 as well!

Best regards! --lovelaughterlife♥talk? 01:34, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the barnstar; although it is you who deserves the award. :) --lovelaughterlife♥talk? 22:48, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Bermuda Triangle page

Thanks for restoring what was vandalized. There is just too much of that everywhere in Wikipedia, so my suggestion is to do a lockout of people who are not registered, i.e. if they got just an IP addy, they can't edit. Or at the very least, a semi-protected mode for the page in question. Carajou 21:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Why

Exactly why was my old username (iv_admin20) blocked? It said it was rude or inflammatory. I expect an explanation right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by R varner20 (talkcontribs)

As I mentioned in the edit summary, the account User:Iv admin20 was blocked because it contained the word "admin". This is currently against Wikipedia's username policy because it gives the impression that a user is a Wikipedia administrator. I don't think this was done out of any bad intention on your part, but such user names are blocked on sight and standardized messages are left so that the blocked users can create a more appropriate username. Best, Irongargoyle 19:52, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Deadmalls.com

Sure thing. While I'll admit some personal bias — I love that site — trying to push that as something for speedy deletion didn't make any sense. Do let me know if he (she?) moves it to an AfD. Tijuana Brass 02:10, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Image:3deadmal2.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:3deadmal2.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:48, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

List of defunct retailers of the United States

Wouldn't the [[[List of defunct retailers of the United States]] be a closer fit in WikiProject Retailing rather than Dead Malls? That article seems to be right on target for Retailing, as it's about the retail companies. Dead Malls is about the venues more than the stores itself, therefore I don't think it's a great match.

Thought I'd throw that by you and see what you think. SchuminWeb (Talk) 05:51, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, you might be right there. Irongargoyle 05:56, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

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.

Thanks for uploading Image:RagingWolfBobs.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.

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Thunderhawk GL.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thunderhawk GL.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image is unlicensed for use on Wikipedia 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. —Bkell (talk) 20:18, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
