[edit] Merge of Lithium (Ailyn song)
I see you place a merge tag on the Evanescence song Lithium's article, but gave no explanation on the talk page. I can see why you would suggest such a merge, but I'd still recommend a section be started by you on the Evanescence Lithium talk page. If such a merge were to go through, I would ask for a definitive source for the information in the article, other than simply saying it came from her website (aka, a source for release date and other such info). I can perform the merge with no problem, but I would like to have that. I can't see this being a particularly controversial move, given that there is no real notability attached to the song or article, so after about a week (unless something changes), I'll take care of it. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 03:28, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WP:CFDS
Could you explain why you performed this rename in light of the comments I had made underneath the proposal? The category clearly didn't meet the speedy criteria, and I placed my comment there trusting that that would be sufficient to let users know not to perform the change speedily. If I'm missing the criterion, please point it out to me. Good Ol’factory (talk) 03:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- Oh buddy This will sound improbable, but I actually read that response right after I made the change and I hadn't slept in awhile, so I was kind of out of my mind. Ugh. So sorry; I'll undo or re-list for CfD or whatever you think is best. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 08:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
- No, no. It's done; that's fine. I'm not looking to reverse it. Good Ol’factory (talk) 08:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] WP:HAU
Hello yet again. I regretfully inform you that the bot we were using to update the user status at Wikipedia:Highly Active Users, SoxBot V, was blocked for its constant updating. With this bot out of operation, a patch is in the works. Until that patch is reviewed and accepted by the developers, some options have been presented to use as workarounds: 1) Qui monobook (not available in Internet Explorer); 2) User:Hersfold/StatusTemplate; 3) Manually updating User:StatusBot/Status/USERNAME; or 4) Not worry about it and wait for the patch to go through, which hopefully won't take long. If you have another method, you can use that, too. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Useight (talk) 17:56, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] re Image:Israel and arab states map.png
Please explain your revert using the image talk page. I have discussed my rationale there extensively, while you have never once posted a comment there. Please see WP:BRD. Also I hope this isn't part of any long term pattern of disruptive editing. <eleland/talkedits> 18:34, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Rollback
Hello I saw you here and I was wondering if you could grant me rollback. My 1RR ArbCom enforcement ends today and I would like to have this to undo vandalism and mistakes. I had this and lost it earlier due to two reverts in a day. Of course, this is pretty low-level back-and-forth and I'm no longer on 1RR. -Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 07:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
- Due to your lengthy history of apparent reversion related issues I'm not inclined to grant this at this time, however I am far from the final word on this, and you can seek a wider audience at RFR. — xaosflux Talk 13:07, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please take a look at Kalki
Hello, I notice you are an experienced editor in some Hinduism related subjects. Could you please take the time to look at Kalki? It is currently (in his own words) guarded by Ghostexorcist. And I don't have the experience to know how to make changes that don't get reverted. These are my concerns about it. See if you agree.
- An inordinate portion of the article is devoted to subjects tangential to the Hindu concept under the heading "Modern variations of the Kalki prophecy." I think this title itself is a contradiction in terms. What modern variation of the prophesy is there in Hinduism? It might read "modern interpretations" but Ghostexorcist will not allow even this to be discussed.
- The way the section is put together it gives the impression that the views of one author Savitri Devi Mukherji that Adolf Hitler was Kalki is a part of Hindu thought. By excluding other similar silly notions he puts un-due focus to that one idea, making Hinduism look morally baron.
- By having this Nazi allusion follow directly after Alejandro Biondini, a Nazi in Argentina, Ghostexorcist is de facto insisting on giving the Kalki concept a nazi connotation and I can't understand his motive.
- Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view#Undue_weight holds that Wikipedia is not a repository for opinions that almost no one holds - such as that Hitler was Kalki - a view that apparently a single Hindu author who is now dead had. By insisting on having this rare opinion kept highlighted he gives the impression this is a genuine Hindu view by not saying it is not. This seems a clear case of "undue weight" as defined by Wikipedia.
What I was hoping is that you might know one or two experienced editors like yourself that could bring some weight to bear on that article. As it is it goes nowhere as all serious changes are reverted by Ghostexorcist who says he guards the article. Thank you for your time. I hope you will help.

Thank you. – Good Ol’factory (talk) 00:16, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion
Your cryptic explanation for deleting a cat. listing (future stories now past) is clear to me. I went to AWB, but it is a long convoluted discussion about bots. I didn't feel like spending 15-20 min. to maybe find out what it's all about. The cat. seems like a reasonable one to me, and the book would/does fall into that cat., so could you tell me the reason for deleting, using plain English? Thanks.Kdammers (talk) 08:28, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- (as a side note) I declined the speedy at that time because it was not empty (15 articles or so). I have no opinion on the deletion itself, but the speedy process was not OK (rule of a thumb: if you use db-reason, that means 90% of the time that the deletion is out of process) -- lucasbfr talk 08:51, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] "Fan mail"
Thank you for your note. I hadn't thought about the fact that some people might click on the link and expect to find legitimate fan mail. I'll change its description. Thanks again. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 02:03, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
