This is his first block, and there are some real edits before today's meltdown, so I did not feel an indef was appropriate. If he continues upon his retur, however, I am sure that will be taken into consideration. image:smile.gif. -- Avi 04:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paparazzo

I'm inclined to agree with you as regards this article's properly being an exception to the singular formulation guideline, apropos of which inclination I'll try to offer some thoughts at Talk:Paparazzo straightaway. In the meanwhile, though, one must contemplate whether Paparazzi (surely a band so styled must exist) are a musical group or is a musical group... :) Joe 16:16, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but what of those of us who think that Green Day sometimes are a band and sometimes is a band, selon le cas...? :) I will, to be sure, comment soon at Talk:Paparazzo, although I'm no longer certain that the plural is appropriate (to this question I devote hours; to things such as, well, real life, just seconds). Joe 05:56, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Well, there are those speakers of British English who invariably use the plural alongside (singular) collective nouns and there are those of us who prefer the plural but think there to be situations in which the singular is to be favored (the latter preference, I suppose, is best described in the ultimate paragraph of Differences between American and British English#Singular and plural for nouns); of course, perhaps I ought, as an American, to speak proper English. To demonstrate, in any event, that my pedantry is as great (or, to use the term others seem to prefer, at least w/r/to me, annoying) as yours, I should observe that the comprised of locution you used apropos of the nature of a musical group is solecistic ("The band comprises the musicians" whilst "the musicians compose the band", viz., the "band is composed of the musicians"). You will, I hope, take such observation in the jocular spirit in which it was made. I'm certain that you'll find sundry errors in this note alone, and I ought surely to have cast out the beam out of [mine] own eye...[in order that I should] see clearly to cast the mote out of [yours], but I've never been much for the Bible. :) Joe 05:44, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Expansion of Wikiproject Hard Rock

Dear WikiProject Hard Rock members,
This is a notice about the proposed expansion of the WikiProject, so the scope covers rock music in general, changing it from "WikiProject Hard Rock" to "Wikiproject Rock music". Like I pointed out to the creator, DavidJJJ, what falls under the scope of "hard rock" may come into dispute, and there is no existing WikiProject for rock in general, only WikiProject Alternative music and WikiProject Punk music come somewhat close. This expansion will hopefully in theory be a guide/directory, and bring much needed attention to articles of this genre. DavidJJJ has already given kudos to the idea, and it is encouraged that you express your thoughts and concerns on the WikiProject's talk page before anything goes forward. We hope start the transition soon. Until then, please, make your voice heard! Cheers. -- Reaper X 22:30, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Royalnavy.org

I hope my comment at WP:AIV helped. The person in question got rather... aggressive/persistent, and being a Naval Officer (Cadet) myself, I thought that at least a report to AiV would be a help. He shouts about how WP has no rules to stop him doing this, and it isn't our project to interfere in, but I have a short fuse when it comes to site owners like this. Use your perogative - perhaps not a block, but maybe a friendly word in his ear? Thanks! HawkerTyphoon 20:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


Thanks for that, it's rather more clear than the knives I have thrown into the darkness so far! Happy editing! HawkerTyphoon 20:39, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Confused about WP:AIV process

I reported chronic spamdexer 63.80.97.254 on WP:AIV. You declined to block him, saying "(→User reported - last edit almost 2h ago, relist if resumes, NOT empty)". I'm confused -- I thought I'd jumped through the appropriate hoops per the rules:

√ "Users must be appropriately warned using a final warning template, such as {test3}, {test4} or {blatantvandal} before being listed on this page."
{spam 3} was used with 63.80.97.254 1 day ago.
√ "The vandal vandalized within the last few hours and after the final warning."
I don't understand your 2 hour comment in this context.

Do not list here if:

X "The incident is not vandalism but a content dispute."
It's not.
X "They have not vandalized very recently (past 24 hours), nor since the last warning ({test3} or {test4})."
63.80.97.254 has vandalized (spammed) recently and after last warning.
X "The vandal has not received the full range of test warnings recently (i.e., within the previous week)."
63.80.97.254 did not get the full range all the way from {spam0} since the last block but I understand that the 0-1-2-3-4 sequence is not required for those who have been blocked before, especially so recently and with such a blatant track record.
X "The recent vandalism from an IP began hours (or days) after the last warning — it could be a different person."
This account has only been used for spamming from what I can tell; those edits not made to "External links" sections of articles have been sneakier link additions such as this and this.

This editor has been discussed before on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Spam. I even checked to see if WP:AIV was the correct reporting forum and was told it was.

Can you either reconsider this decision or set me straight on what I'm doing wrong? I'd like be helpful, but deleting spam and other vandalism starting to feel like a waste of my time with little to show for it.

Thank you for taking time to read this. --A. B. 20:48, 17 October 2006 (UTC)


Disregard the above -- I see another admin has just blocked 63.80.97.254 while I was writing the above.--A. B. 20:51, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Michelle3801

Hi. I saw you were the admin responsible for a first block of Michelle3801 (talk · contribs). You may need to check her latest contributions, which involve creating an article of dubious value (and truth): Princess Dandia and included a warning that "Do not deleted this whole page or you can be blocked by editing Wikipedia Not Michelle 3801, Michelle 7802, Michelle 4903, and Michelle 1004". Thanks. Pascal.Tesson 01:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Guidance for a new admin, please

With regard to our friend from earlier today, User talk:Roffles25, I noticed that when you set the indefinite block, you also removed all the preceding warnings from his talk page. Is this SOP for an indefinite block?

[edit] Replaceable fair-use

Rumour has it there's been a recent change to the fair-use policy. See WP:FUC (first point). We can no longer use a fair-use image of a living person as a replacement free image could reasonably be created. Word has it that this came down from Jimbo Wales but I'm not sure about that. Anyway, I noticed that you disputed the change made by another editor on Image:Lohanspeak.PNG so I'm trying to give you a bit of context on this. I am not convinced this is necessary, mind you, but I do know that the majority of images marked as "promotional" quite simply are not, and this will resolve most of those problems. Anyway, I had nothing to do with this policy but I thought I'd pass it on. --Yamla 21:19, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Asking for permissions

Hi, RadioKirk! I've see you got some success in asking for an image to be released under a free licensing. Congrats!

But I ask you to, when doing that, foward the e-mail do permissions AT wikimedia DOT org (I'm not sure if you're already doing that). Although I'm completly sure you're not faking these emails, unfortunatelly. I can't say I've never found an editor incapable of doing that. I'm affraid other could abuse this pratice. Hope you understand and keep on the good work! Best regards, --Abu Badali 16:04, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Original Barnstar

(Moved to User:RadioKirk/Honors with my thanks.)

[edit] 142.32.208.234

Hi RadioKirk. Regarding your block of User:142.32.208.234, that IP's had a couple of monthlong blocks before and one of three months. Considering that the vandalism has started again right after the last (month long) block expired, I've extended it a little. -- Steel 18:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for uploading a free image of Lindsay Lohan. As always, your contributions are appreciated. --Yamla 19:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wonderful job!!!

Wonderful job, Radiokirk! Now, do you understand the reasoning behind not allowing replaceable unfree images? The use of a unfree image had virtually blocked the creation of a free one. Lindsay Lohan's article is such a great example of things working the way they should. I would give you a second barnstar right now, but this would make them seem less valuable (the king of thing you get one per week) . :) . --Abu Badali 19:07, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, consider uploading a higher quality version of this image, preferably using the jpg file format. Low-res is for unfree images only :) ! --Abu Badali 19:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] 216.153.209.222 Vandal

Your have previously blocked this user. Can you please do it again? As far as I can tell 100% of the edits are vandalism, some quite subtle, like changing dates by one year. The most recent vandalism was deleting several paragraphs of cell membrane on Oct. 25 '06. Somoza 13:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User Page

As per your comments on [1] page, I would like to put up my new user page. I now understand the past problems and I will put up a user page to corrected specifications. thank you. Is there a way to take a 'template code' of the first user page and for me to delete or modify the content code already used to save time? Netwriter 17:08, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

I have copied my Wikipedia user page code and I am adapting it currently. **PS....Since you are familiar with my TALK pages, I would like to ask you to keep reviewing my personal TALK pages for a renewed combative editing on those pages by Wikipedia member, MikeWazowski. I believe this person's many past & present comments show clear violations of ideals listed here [2]
Actually, I think what you'll find is that Netwriter has essentially recreated the exact same information on his user page that you deleted months ago, RadioKirk, along with quite a lot of new information purporting to be from articles he claims to have written, when in fact (especially in the case of the Star Wars and Doctor Who entries) he's never once edited many of the actual Wikipedia pages, if they even exist at all. On top of that, many of his listings on the Star Wars articles are either skewed, misinformed, or completely inaccurate. Netwriter can claim whatever he wants about me, but my editing history, in regards to him and Wikipedia as a whole, will easily stand up to scrutiny. MikeWazowski 06:09, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Radio Shows

You do raise some valid points, and I appreciate your feedback greatly. I'm relatively new to Wikipedia, so I'm still getting the hang of it. That said, I didn't see anything all that different between what I added (where these classic shows could be heard) and what is visible in other Wikipedia articles based on pop culture. Of course, for all I know, those articles are similarly flawed, too. So no harm done, and thanks again! McDoobAU93 21:14, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vandal notice

I thought you might want to know that Wikiquote user Mi nombre es Heraldo made an attempt to associate your Wikipedia user name with a vandalism event. It seems to have been part of a series of multiple-user vandalism/disruptions that I'm taken to calling Wazz attacks, after an early Wikiquote instigator called "Wazzawazzawaz". (They are connected to User:Wazzawazzawaz here as well.) If you're interested, there's more information at q:Wikiquote:Administrators' noticeboard, under the "User name blocking", "Rezilartuen joke mischief", "User:Loslonleys", and "Coming Clean" headings. I wanted to let you know in case this is happening to you elsewhere. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 03:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Vin Scully article

Why is a citation tag nessesary over the fact that Vin Scully called the 1981 (season) NFC Championship Game with Hank Stram for CBS!? Trust me, Pat Summerall and John Madden had nothing to do with the television side. I'm guessing, you're either way to young to remember when Scully worked for CBS, or haven't checked the announcer pairings in the archives. And if you don't want to believe that he left CBS because he was upset over not being named the #1 NFL play-by-play man, then go talk to the people at http://www.dbsforums.com and see if they can back up my statements. Personally, it also isn't meant to be a negative point-of-view statement to describe the announcing styles of Vin Scully, Pat Summerall, and John Madden! And I don't appreciate you removing that screencap of Vin Scully and Joe Garagiola in the booth at Fenway Park during NBC's coverage of the 1986 World Series.TMC1982 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Flag icons

Is there some consensus to have flag icons in articles? I see (and have reverted) that User:69.196.136.37 has been adding them all over. Some may have been justifiable but some were not. How is this or this an improvment? CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 05:39, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bianca Ryan image

I tagged that image as replaceable while processing your email to permissions(at)wikimedia. The understanding I got while reading the email was that Sony was confirming that the image was a promo pic, not confirming that it had been released under a free license (and based on your tagging of the page, it would seem that you had the same impression. If you think they meant to release it under a free license, I can contact the guy and try to get a formal statement of release out of him. If they were only confirming that it was promotional, however, the image would fail FUC #1. --RobthTalk 20:36, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Gotcha. Permission to Wikipedia, unfortunately, is not considered sufficiently free; we aim for full reuseability. This being the case, I'm going to reinstate the tag on the image.
On another note, I see you have listed as confirmed two of Owen Ryan's images. Is Image:Joggle.jpeg one of the promotional images he mentions in his email regarding The Passing Zone, or should I be looking out for a second email regarding that image? --RobthTalk 21:26, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use paranoia

It was good to read your comments on the talk page for publicity photos. Seems I'm not the only one out there concerned that this will increase stalking (and promote the use of poor-quality camera phone photos and/or cartoonish illustrations in the process).

I got into this after my use of Alice Sebold's book-jacket photo got tagged as potentially replaceable. So, I am trying to do the right thing and get it released.

Was it you, or someone else on the page, who pointed out from actual experience that this is harder to do than some people think? I have been told by Sebold's agents (not that they were easy to find) that the photographer controls the rights to the picture (not well, I've found). They gave me a phone number in Italy. Uh-huh, I'm really going to incur that expense.

And do you really think the photographer is going to be that inclined to release it, or a similar image? Yup, I'd freely dilute the value of my own work.

Weren't we just better off without really worrying about this? Daniel Case 17:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Velten

I'm sorry if you honestly feel that way about me. I didn't think I assumed ownership over Gwen Stefani at all; I merely had no idea that EM added those images (and stupidly of me I did not check if they were free, which is definitely a greater concern). I'm still going to do whatever I can to get her and related articles up to better standard. Velten 23:39, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Peer review?

Hi. I was wondering if you could take a look at Hilary Duff (album), perform whatever changes you feel are necessary and leave a comment at Wikipedia:Peer review/Hilary Duff (album)/archive1? You don't have to, of course, but I'd really appreciate it. Also, the article has some info on the Duff/Lindsay Lohan "feud" and I was wondering if you could fact-check it. Thanks.

[edit] Dina Lohan

I'm not so sure that doesn't assert notability. She had several films, and her work seemed relevant. Just IMHO. Thanks. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 19:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, have to strongly disagree; she did not have a "role" in any of her daughter's films, she was part of several background scenes and had no lines of dialogue. As stated within the article (and with nothing existing with which to embellish it), we have a mother/manager of a notable actress who's been used in crowd shots, and nothing else. It's a clear WP:CSD #A7. :) RadioKirk (u|t|c) 19:40, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
By all means, I'm just discussing, but if Paris Hilton's dog gets an article, well, you can finish that sentence. :-D -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 02:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Eh, concerning Lindsay Lohan, don't you think you're being a little strict with that page? I'm not going to claim every reversion you've made is bad, but it seems like you've reverted some very valid edits as of late. From Help:Reverting, we have: "Reverting is a decision which should be taken seriously. [emphasis kept from article]" and "If you feel the edit is unsatisfactory, improve it rather than simply reverting or deleting it." I'm just a little worried that reverting, rather than fixing all the good-faith IP edits, could have the effect of turning people off (I almost left Wikipedia early on because someone simply reverting some very good changes of mine to a ridiculously POV version). Imagine a young-Lindsay worshipping tweeny girl actually gets to change the article about Lindsay Lohan on Wikipedia (what an honor!), but some administrtor comes along and just reverts it, and doesn't bother to do the work himself to combine the two. Specific examples would be [3] (could you find a RS? - it should be too hard), [4] (you might not like the album, but seriously WP:OWN, and could this change turn off a new young contributer?), [5] (a very valid contrib, not hard to find a RS), [6], [7] (last two more understandable, but worth mentioning). Hope you understand some constructive criticism. Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 04:51, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Okay, in order:

Further, in each case, the reversion came with an explanation of why the edit was wrong for an encyclopedia article—any encyclopedia article. RadioKirk (u|t|c) 05:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

OK. Let's start here:
2 - fair enough. I understood the case, but, by your wording, someone adding it to the page would probably think you just don't like the album (i.e., someone unfair with Wiki's fair use criteria, which were not explained in the edit summary).
4, 5 - fair enough; though it could have been improved, the content was excessive, and it would have been difficult to change.
1, 3 - a different story. Firstly, WP:V's wording seems to be saying something more like "the adder needs to prove it's true rather than the remover prove it's not true" (i.e., trying to get people not to say "I'll remove it if you can prove it's not true") - not "anytime somebody adds something unsourced, just go ahead and revert it if you'd rather make the adder look for sources." Secondly, this information was not only relevant, but extremely easy to find (it took me literally about 15 seconds to type world music awards lohan into google and get the appropriate information). Which means that even if you take your own understanding of WP:V to be true, it's using it a bit as a club (and completely ignoring the Wikipedia:Reverting's valid suggestion) when you could just look it up on your own, and add the source tag, or at least, the fact tag, but you just didn't feel like taking the 30 seconds it would need to type it into google. WP:V was written to avoid the speculation of "Lindsay has a brand new boyfriend" or "Lindsay's driver's license says this", not easily verifiable facts. What I'm saying is, I'm not sure there can be a bigger way of biting a newbie than just reverting their edits, and some newbies might not even know how to read a page history to see the reasoning, so we ought to be very careful. And barring all this, at least do them the courtesy of leaving a {{needsource}} tag on their page. -Patstuart(talk)(contribs) 05:29, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:EW GoF interview1.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:EW GoF interview1.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. 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.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

That "ramrodding" makes participation by smart, broad-minded non-literalists, such as yourself, even more crucial. I hope you'll stick around the discussion over fair use criteria, because, in my view, we need more balanced, reasoned voices... not ten admins who want to create a Utopiapedia.

[edit] The Mystery Man

After a one month block, he's back uploading unsourced images again. Ya'd think... Rklawton 23:19, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Here's an alarming example: Image:HHstatue.jpg. MM first had no copyright info. Then he claims it's PD due to age. Given the date of the advent of color photography, it's not possible for a color photo to have hit PD yet (as best as I can tell). Rklawton 23:27, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Special:Contributions/67.177.31.91

This particular user contacted unblock-en-l following your vandalism block at; it looks to me like they were removing the "woot" sections, which you then reverted back in. They then removed them again, after which you reverted to an older version (I assume from before the other involved address, 24.196.221.39, came around). While their response was perhaps a bit clumsy, it looks to me like it was a good faith effort to fight vandalism -- do you have any input or thoughts regarding that, or more specifically, any objection to unblocking them? Thanks in advance. Luna Santin 20:05, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Totally botched, definitely. :p But with a heart of gold! (or something equally corny) Luna Santin 20:14, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where No Man Has Gone Before

I just looked in on the article for the Star Trek:TOS episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before" (I added the reference to Q-Squared earlier today, and like to check in on my recent edits), and I wanted to say that it's an impressive job of keeping relevant and interesting notes from a Trivia section in the article. I've recently seen many edits, especially to television-related articles, simply dump Trivia sections wholesale with no regard for the information they contain (especially edits done by the so-called WikiProject Trivia Cleanup), and I feel congratulations are in order for any editor who makes the effort to incorporate information rather than saying, "It's trivia; dump it all". Bravo. -- Pennyforth 22:06, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I honestly don't see a difference in calling it "Trivia", "Notes", "Behind the scenes", "Misc info" or "Whatever". Since each misc entry deals with a particular subject you going to make title headers for them all? Your changes leave WNMHGB a tacky-looking hang nail compared to the rest - so YOU GUYS can go make the changes to the others since I completely disagree with it. Have fun since there are 79 more to go. Cyberia23 18:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, fear not! Morwen appears to be on the case rewording them all now as we speak - and dare I not to make a change since she'll bite my head off for it. However, I at least suggest working with her to make them standard in someway - something I been trying to do since I wrote most of them as they were all a complete mess beforehand. Cyberia23 19:04, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I ranked it 'high' importance because whilst not considered a groundbreaking classic the POTC series certainly is a big film series, so it is highly important. Wiki-newbie 19:40, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Well it's part of WikiProject Films. Look closer at the rating box my friend. Wiki-newbie 19:48, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Emma Watson doctored picture

Hello, RadioKirk! I have commented on the Commons DR for the doctored image of Emma Watson here. In a nutshell, I linked the image to this Russian website here, and the translation basically tells that it's a doctored pic. I've also left a message on User_talk:Charmingchariot1, who was the original user who inserted the picture into the article. –- kungming·2 (Talk) 08:54, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Britney Spears article protection

Please see my query at Talk:Britney_Spears#Radiokirk_-_improper_protection.3F. Thanks. -- Fuzheado | Talk 06:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

The policy is very firm, it's not conditional. So even what you described is not allowed by the policy. The solution is to find another administrator who can protect it for those reasons. I'm sure you can see the wisdom in that. The fact that Jim Douglas documented respected news organizations here that found it worth reporting on shows that it is not outright a concern related to WP:BLP#Public_figures as a policy violation. That is, there are primary reporting sources that documented the event and phenomenon, and Wikipedia is documenting this with attribution and sources.
Therefore, what this boils down to is a content dispute. And thus, I will go ahead and unprotect the article. However, if you can find another admin to protect the article based on content or whatever other conditions that other sysop can justify, that would be fine. I know it sounds strange for me to unprotect but be open to immediate reprotection (ie. "unprotecting without prejudice"). But abiding by guidelines makes your case stronger if is indeed the one that is correct, and is better for the community editing ethos. Thanks. -- Fuzheado | Talk 07:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
I'm done watching the page. Wahkeenah 18:58, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
It's clear I don't have anything else to add to the article at this point. Maybe on another day, after this latest Britney pecadillo has settled down, by which time the recent incidents may indeed by unworthy of further attention in the article. Wahkeenah 19:18, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Jmac baller

Is this something that I could have / should have reported to WP:AIV when I noticed him posting the phone numbers? (Two different numbers, so they were probably random). -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 19:42, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Good enough, thanks. I try to be as conservative as possible about reporting people there...I don't want to report someone and have it kicked back at me with "insufficiently warned." -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 19:48, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] What would you do with this?

Oliver J. Y. Denton is described as a 24-year old historian and author. The article was created a week ago, and it cites no sources. I can't find those books or that name listed on amazon.com, a google search shows nothing, and a search of http://www.bbchistorymagazine.com/ shows nothing.

Whoops, I just thought to check Talk:Oliver J. Y. Denton, and it has a pointer to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2006 May 21#Oliver J. Y. Denton. Is there a speedy tag for a recreation of a previously speedied article? Would {{db-repost}} apply? The original article went through an AfD process, and was speedied. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 20:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

One more thought...since he saw fit to recreate his hoax, is it appropriate to protect it from recreation? -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 21:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Gwen Stefani

I saw you removed "Renee" from Gwen Stefani's name and said that it needed a reliable source. There is a source provided; is Entertainment Weekly considered unreliable? (If I sound accusatory, that's not my intent. I'm just trying to figure out if it was an accident or not.) —ShadowHalo 05:40, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

The edit itself said "Added sources of Gwen's names. Note: Entertainment Weekly is *very* good about fact-checking", unless maybe you're referring to a different source. I'm going to readd "Renee" to the article (not "Gwendolyn" since there's no source for that) since so far as I can tell, Entertainment Weekly meets WP:RS. If you disagree, feel free to remove it and I won't mess with it until we sort it out. If the article needs to cite the source each time "Renee" is included in her name, I can do that too; just let me know. —ShadowHalo 06:11, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
I added the reference in the first time it's used, and it occurred to me that it's needed twice since the second time, it says why her parents named her that. Thanks for your help. —ShadowHalo 20:42, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Radcliffe

Can the image be used in other parts of the article, like down below? Since the article talks a lot about Harry Potter. Also, what about the other changes I made to the article? like copy-editing, etc. Soredecider 21:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh ok, thanks. For some reason there looks like two versions of the article currently up, but I will fix that and restore the image later on in there. Soredecider 21:57, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
BTW more re:Radcliffe's head picture. Can we use any TV appearance/screenshot for the top picture? I.e. [8] or [9]. I just was thinking of putting up something better than the current one. Soredecider 00:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
So I guess that's like a "no"? :-) Soredecider 00:24, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trek page edits

I have to ask, why do you make a format change to one trek episode article, and not follow suit with changing the format of the rest - you've done this twice already by deleting Trivia and adding "Plot" headers to one of the pages. I didn't like the change but I couldn't win my argument since after I asked a few others about the change they agreed to your idea - so I gave in and made sure the rest were changed as you wanted. My current concern however is the "40th Anniversary Remaster" in the "The Trouble With Tribbles" where you "prosed" the remastering list. Like I said before - I'd like to keep the Trek pages uniform as discussed in the Trek Wiki Project - so they are all the same format. You come in and make a format change to one and then thats it - leaving it a hangnail when compared to the rest. Is this in hopes someone like me will change them all the way you'd like to see it? Because I liked it the way I had it - a bulleted list - and I'm sure you'll go in and revert it again to make your point. All I ask is that if you make a change to one as some kind of standard you'd like to see implemented then do it to them all at the same time.

It's like working in a parking lot full of white delivery vans. An employee of the company in favor with the owner (a person like you with admin perks) comes by and paints a van red - the owner of the lot likes the red van and leaves it to the lot attendant (me, and a job I volunteered for) to have all vans painted red - I take the job and paint them red, but that same favored employee doesn't bother to help me. Instead, he comes back a few days later and adds a white pinstripe to one of the red vans - now I'm told by the boss to add white pin stripes to all the other vans as well. Proud of my lot of vans I'd like to keep them all clean and shiny and do my best work for the boss - but in the meantime I'd like to knock the favored employee in the head with a crow bar. Don't get me wrong - I have no claim of ownership to the lot - I know other employees (in this case other Wiki editors) have to take the vans out for spin and they occasionally come back with dings and scratches which I try to polish up and keep the fleet ship shape. But when an employee comes by to add flare to one van - at least he could help add that flare to the rest.

I've given up trying to protest the action of the employee because it seems that anytime I do (not in this particular case - but in past disputes) - I'm in the wrong and I'm told if I don't like it quit (ie. leave Wikipedia) and if I argue I get threated with being fired (ie banned from Wikipedia).

Hopefully you can see my aggravation. Cyberia23 23:51, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, You deleted me new page ("WinterKids") earlier when it was nominated for speedy deletion, citing failure to meet WP:N and WP:BAND, before I was able to add a hangon tag. I do not believe it failed these; and besides, it specifically notes on WP:BAND that failure to meet those criteria is NOT a criterion for speedy deletion. Whether or not it met A7 (and I'm unclear on what exactly this requires) your cited reasons for deletion weren't valid, and it should have been put up for AFD. Please could you restore it and put it up for AFD so I can explain my reasons. Phunky 22:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for creating the page to work on. But I am a little confused. I see there are a number of corporations and real estate developers listed on Wikipedia. For example, Trump Organization. I would like to do something similar.

I understand that articles created for Wikipedia must be relevant, notable, and neutral. If the tone is formal, is there anything wrong creating an article that simly states information relating to the company, its history, and its founders? I would also like to link to write about our recent environmental drie, using third-party articles cite our efforts of our creating eco-friendly home buildling practices.

Will I be allowed to work on a temporary article, then post the full thing for someone to review?

[edit] why do you delete all my work?

i copied all my work from other bands pages but yet you still find the time to delete everything i do

[edit] Re: Red Light Center

Regarding your comment about giving the author time, how much time? The article has already been there for 11 days, and nothing about that website strikes me as notable. His other edits (Obsidianac (talk · contribs)) involved trying to place it in articles like Second Life in a prominent position to draw attention to it. Someone else thinks this individual might be a sockpuppet/master (trying to get clarification on that, but I can see another couple accounts which began editing the same day with the same focus as this user). Seems like obvious marketing to me. Having a look at his contribs its a very obvious attempt to market this website.--Crossmr 23:30, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Well you're the admin. I don't think they'd appreciate me being bold and hacking the system so I could delete the page ;). If he doesn't provide some sources for the claims in a few days I'll take it to AfD.--Crossmr 23:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
No worries, I've been trying hard to be a good editor (just look at that last sockpuppet ring I nailed) but I figured there would be you know, a memo or something first.--Crossmr 23:46, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
I think after seeing this edit, at the notes section [13] you can probably toast this article.--Crossmr 18:19, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Instead of responding, it seems he's blanked our comments on his talk page.--Crossmr 19:52, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
The talk page was cleared on accident due to computer problems. It has since been restored and replied to.--kirbyjh 03:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Time to Speak

I just created an article that was found to be too short, and I was working on expanding it when it was deleted and all my work was lost... There was something about a {{hangon}} tag but it said not to use it if it was my own article which it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Azoundria (talk • contribs)
