Welcome to my talk page. Feel free to leave me a message if you a question, comment, or just want to say hi. Just make sure to sign it (with ~~~~) and create a subsection for it at the bottom of the page.

Admin actions: If you disagree with an admin action of mine, leave me a message and I'll definitely look into it. If you are pretty confident that I have made a mistake, admins should feel free to revert me (just let me know).

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 15:42, 29 March 2007 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Davesmith33"

You will notice if you removed those rose-tinted spectacles that it is DrFrench and yourself who are in fact undoing other people's edits repeatedly, without first discussing them on the talk page.

Can you tell me exactly what is wrong with the following statement: "Richard Hammond introduced a new "presenter" at the start of Series 8, a female Labradoodle named "Top Gear Dog", who is susceptible to motion sickness. However, she only appeared twice in Series 9."? Davesmith33 15:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Removing protection from James Brown article

After concerted effort to stop the constant vandalism (especially when the article was featured on the Music Portal in February 2007) to the James Brown article, I had asked the administrators to restore protection. This article was repeated vandalized several times daily up to when the protection was restored to the article. However, I see that you removed the protection from the article? Can you provide your rationale as to why protection is no longer needed? And...on what basis have YOU decided that protection is no longer needed, since I don't see that you have contributed in a significant way to editing the article, followed the history of repeatedly restoring the content of the article, or even spent time reverting the vandalism yourself??? This significant change should have been discussed first on the talk page, where you would have gotten feedback as to why the article was protected in the first place.

In spite of the vandalism that repeatedly occurred when the article was unprotected, this article was still vandalized even by users with accounts older than four days. In fact, the article was vandalized AGAIN right after you removed the protection. Have YOU reviewed the history before removing the protection on the article? I disagree strongly with the removal of the protection and plan to reverse both the recent vandalism and your change to restore the protection a third time or ask the administrators to get involved a third time. lwalt 16:29, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Follow-up to previous message - We have an uptick in vandalizing the James Brown article again. As was the case before, the article was vandalized by both named and IP users (in one case, the same person revandalized the article after that person's initial vandalism was reverted). I've mentioned in my previous message, editors for this article have gone through the exercise of keep up with the constant vandalism on two earlier occasions, which necessitated protection. So, we're right were we started having to chase vandals to keep the article intact. lwalt 20:24, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Davesmith33

I am getting rather frustrated by his actions. It seem to me that as he couldn't have his way over TGD, he's thrown his toys out of the pram. It seeems to me a clear case of WP:DISRUPT. I really dislike the idea of 'running to teacher' but I am sorely tempted to put it to an WP:RFC. I know as an admin you probably shouldn't get too involved where there is existing 'discussion' between you and him, but if you can put your 'neutral head' on, what has been the outcome of similar situations that you've come across in the past? DrFrench 22:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I think I'm going to sleep on it and see what he's like in the morning. If he's doing the same, then I'll go down the WP:RFC route. DrFrench 22:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Sadly since his 3RR block, he doesn't to have changed his approach, so I've posted {{rfc-ucc}} on his talk page. Hopefully he'll take note and try to build consensus. DrFrench 20:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Decision about the US Cinema template

After receiving complaints about the inclusion of Template:CinemaoftheUS in film articles, I have discussed the issue with Blofeld and (at least) the two of us agree that it is removed from American film articles (see also talk page). Hoverfish Talk 20:52, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

I have also reduced the size of the template we think it should go in only the central /core articles only not on any film or actor articles. This is only for the American template ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "Expecting you" Contribs 21:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the slow reply. Thanks for the update and hard work on coming to a compromise. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 07:45, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

Can you delete this:[1]? It's not even really a screenshot. I was going to try to come up with some rationale to use it in the article to illustrate the person's artisitic abilities but I don't think it will pass fair use muster. At least I don't see any way. Thanks in advance. Quadzilla99 12:08, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

I uploaded it by the way, in case that wasn't clear. Quadzilla99 12:09, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually I found and added a different tag, maybe you could just look it over, if you feel it doesn't merit inclusion you can just delete it—no explanation needed. Quadzilla99 12:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Great idea! I'd be glad to help out. Right now I'm writing an article in my sandbox but I'll contribute today or tomorrow. Quadzilla99 10:02, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Are you thinking of making it an official essay? I mean out of userspace, that way you shortcut to it through WP:FLICKR. It should be fine considering WP:FUCK, WP:BEANS, and WP:SPIDER are out there—I mean I don't personally see why it would get deleted if those essays are out there. It's certainly much more terse, straightforward, and helpful. Granted it does deal with a commericial non-Wikipedia site but only in Wikipedia's context. If I were you I would just be bold and do that. I'm still going to make some contributions by the way, just not right now. Quadzilla99 16:01, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] no speedy delete for Joe Marton

I'll tell you why I'm notable. I am a Novell Support Forum SysOp. There are less than 30 of these in the world, and membership is invitation-only. Such a person has to exhibit a number of qualities to receive such an invitation. To verify that I am indeed a SysOp, please visit the list of Novell SysOps[2]. This makes me more notable than other people, such as Sanjaya Malakar. He has an article because he's a bad singer. I have a great deal of knowledge with Novell products, I help the user community a great deal, and I have been recognized by being invited to an exclusive club. Jmmarton 02:07, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A difference of opinion on copyright violation

Hey there.

I'm interested to see what you think. In regards to Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Speedies_again..., I deleted an article that you said didn't qualify for db-copyvio.

I find the CSD on it sketchy, and I wondered if you agreed. I went behind you and deleted the article as I felt that copyvios should be deleted on sight, and if a valid contest is made to myself or the Foundation the article should be restored. However, the criterion does seem to read that any sort of hang-on tag means to not delete the article.

I went ahead and deleted Moshav Matityahu as I felt as I should delete on sight, despite the hang on. I see your reason for for declining the speedy on sight, but you did not remove the speedy tag after review. I probably would have done the same in the context of the situation. So basically, I was just fishing for your thoughts on copyright policy and what you would/would not delete on sight as a matter of practice. Happy editing to you! Teke 05:15, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

...and that's an example of how process can work :) Good stuff. See you around, Teke 05:32, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
  • I feel that when a plausible claim of permission is made, we don't need to delete on sight. In this case the article (or page as it wasn't really an article yet) was clearly copied from a website. On the talk page, the creator claimed to be the owner of that site and author of the text. This is not a case where the site was a celebrity site or a major institutiuonal or corporate site for which such a claim is highly implausable. I would have put a note on the creator's talk page, indicatign how the claim could be validated (relase on site, or email to foundation's permissions address, and warnign that the text would not remain unchanged. If the creator responded within a day or so saying that he was persuing either option, i would wait. None of that is required, but the CSD does say "and no claim of permisison is made". In this case the article would require so much claenup I'm not willing to undelete and cleanup, but I think that doing so would be proper. Of course a hangon alone is never reason not to delete a clear speedy, althouhg if the hangon was posted only a few minutes poreviously i will usually wiat to see what the creator has to say. All just my opnion, of course. Also, when deleting for copyvio, I think it is a good idea to paste the source URL into the delete reason. DES (talk) 22:15, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jordan Page

I reverted your edit of the Michael Jordan page because he, in fact, was called "Superman" (mostly in 97-98). Chicago media personalities would refer to Jordan as Superman, Pippen as Batman, and Rodman was -well, Rodman (get it, Superman, Batman and Rod-man?). It was a stupid media thing that got Jordan and the team more attention, but it was a nickname nonetheless. Search the Google News archive for [superman batman rodman] for confirmation.

[edit] User causing problems

I made a comment on User talk:TyrusThomas4lyf that I think should you be aware of, just for the purposes of clarifying the situation regarding this user, since you commented there (see the last section). Read it when you have time, he's made tons of good edits but his behavior needs work and I think he bears a little watching. Also although the other account he has is generally fine (read the talk page message) I'm curious as to why he called this his list:[3] When another user started it. All in all if he could just tone down his behavior and confrontational style he could be a fine editor he has alot of solid edits, there's just a general belligerence about him that is off-putting. Quadzilla99 08:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Ok I will but I just wanted to make it clear that his behavior goes farther than just his edit history under his current username. I'll keep an eye on him. Quadzilla99 19:22, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Smallville Images

Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know what the tag was, and some were just "uploaded newer version" instead of complete replacement. I'll try and make sure that I do that from now on. Did you get all of them?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me)

[edit] Milo emil halbheer

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Milo emil halbheer . Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. DES (talk) 20:34, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm fine with your comment, and the origial did sound rather like all too many vanity pages. It was more the "gold medal" (which turned out to be sourcable) than the Lovre declaration (wahich wasn't in the sources I found). I am sure you acted in good faith. But I see a lot of editors overusign the A7 tag, and a number of cases where admisn are IMO too quick on the delte button with stuiff that claims notability but is poorly written. I brought this to DRV as much as a public example to others as anything. Not to admonish you in any way -- we all make mistakes and have differences of judgement -- but because this way others can (I hope) learn from this example. I trust that you don't see bringing such things to DRV as in any way an attack or anything but a disagreemnt with a particular action. I had and have no such intention. DES (talk) 21:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your further edits on this. i hadn't wikified Germany and Switzerland beacus both were linked to in the leading sentace -- but perhaps it looks odd to have a list of which soem are links and some are not. DES (talk) 21:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Thank you for your comments on my talk page about the closing of the FPC, I summed up the pro's and con's and the image did not have enough consensus for promotion and was listed on April 13, then I closed it as npt promoted and ut was re-opened for no reason with an edit summary saying something like "closed by a new user". I needed someone to back up what I'd done because I didnt think I was in the wrong. Thanks a lot! The Sunshine Man 15:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

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

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 non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 01:17, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Red Flag

Hello, I've reverted your edits to the Red Flag article. "Boxes of food from China.", the image you introduced are not boxes of food from China, point in fact it's a real world image... hence they're boxes of food from the shop. It's also debatable as to if the image is free. Matthew 09:15, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

See creative work. Somebody has spent time to position everything creatively, package it etc. It's improbable that two people would independently create the same work. Not to mention the image isn't even from the episode, and has an non-episode background. Matthew 09:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
"Not sure if this image is truely[sic] free (as in a real police car) or a creative work", notice how it says "this", not "the images"; as in specifically referring to that image. What I'm sure of is this: The food crates are creativity. Also, I'm not interested in reading the "help desk" of a failed project, so I don't intend to read it. If you can provide adequate sourcing as per WP:V that the crate of food isn't copyrighted I'll rescind my objection. The onus is not mine, but yours. Matthew 09:28, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
