[edit] Wild Beasts

Hi Ryan! To be honest I'm now quite satisfied with the Wild Beasts article. I've never even heard of the band before, but the combination of citations seems to be good for a few months at least - by which time the Domino Recods website may well have been updated to include them. I'll keep an eye on the article and try to find some further sources as time allows. Thanks for your interest. QuagmireDog 17:02, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I just thought it was best to give you the option of Afd, in my opinion the band meet WP:MUSIC how the article is a present, but thanks alot for the help with the article RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 17:44, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit conflict

Heh, yeah, thanks for keeping an eye on that one. Do you use ARV or another tool like it? I love it, I'd try it out if you don't. See you around vandal hunting no doubt. Peace, delldot | talk 23:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I use Lupins tool and popups but caught this one in my watchlist. WIll have a look at ARV now you mention it, good work again! RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA. I think valid criticisms were raised in areas that I need to work on, so I've withdrawn my name. I intend to work on addressing the concerns that were raised, and think I need to work contributing without allowing myself to become as stressed as I have been at times, which did result in some inappropriate behavior. Perhaps I may re-explore adminship at some point in the future, but it's a little early to consider that. Again, thank you. Fan-1967 21:41, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Well I think you'd have done a great admin job, Definately reapply in a few months time RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 21:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I'll definitely give it some thought. I need to figure out how to deal with the tasks at hand without letting it cause me to get too stressed and start snapping. A cool head is needed, even when dealing with the vandals and children. Fan-1967 21:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm considering going for adminship in a few months time (when I say a few, I mean about 6!) and the issues brought up in your Rfa were something I'm going to have to consider myself. Civility is an important issue on wikipedia, but it is often very hard when talking to blatant vandals or people posting nonsense or peronal attack pages and often these cannot be distinguished from new users not understanding wikipedia. Maybe the most important lesson for everyone to take out of your Rfa is to assume good faith with all editors RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 21:55, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Some of the new users can be hard. Maybe they're just putting their User page in the wrong place, maybe they really can't accept that this is not myspace. Sometimes they'll get all huffy and insist that everyone is notable and deserves a page. Sometimes they're really just deliberately trolling, but you can't be sure. I guess the proper response is stick to cool civility at all times, and pretend to AGF even when it's totally implausible. Fan-1967 21:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage! You're hard work is greatly appreciated. --TeaDrinker 22:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem, glad I could be of service! RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 22:47, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How Rude!

Reverting the edits without explanation! (Club Buggery) A poor newbie attempts to fix a glaring omission, only to see his work disappear in a puff of nothing. Not so much as a 'by your leave'. His work may have lacked quality, but surely deserves a word of explanation. Or preferably an edit, rather than deletion. If that is too much work for you, then let it stand.220.233.109.170 09:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I left a message on your talk page explaining exactly why I reverted you RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 11:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

You explained nothing. A condescending form letter with no reference to the article content. There's something un-Australian about that. Is this because I didn't log in? 220.233.109.170 14:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, it was not meant to be condescending in anyway. I'll try and explain now - Basically the line you added was not relevant in the article, and it was more of a point of view than a fact and these aren't allowed on wikipedia. Its nothing to do with you not logging in, the context of your entry was just not required RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 14:23, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou for that. I disagree on relevancy in this particular context, however the facts may be wrong, or not as public as i believed. My bad.220.233.109.170 02:04, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ubaidullah Sindhi‎

You have reverted my edits without historic fact checking. Mirza Ghulam Ahmed Qadiani was a self-proclaimed prophet touted as a British agent by Indians fighting against British Rule. A praise from a die-hard anti-British like Mr. Sindhi for Mirza Ghulam is like Bin Laden reported as praising George Bush or Ben Goriyan praising Adolf Hitler. This very claim is idiotic. Please do some historic research. I am not a fan of Mr. Sindhi who was an anti-Sufi Wahhabi but I want to keep wikipedia clean from nonsense Hassanfarooqi 17:35, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I have never editted this page, could you please elaborate on your comment before throwing accusation at me, the history is available for the article here. RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 17:37, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

You know very well what you did. Yes the history somehow does not show you reverted and re-reverted the changes of the main article but it does show you reverted the discussion and then re-reverted. Here is the link. [1]

Well tell me its the discussion next time instead of just letting me assume, that was down to rolling back another edit, which I much have pressed rollback for your edit by accident, which I have now sorted. I think next time you confront a user about something you should consider toning down the way you speak to people and assume good faith RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 17:58, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I apologize if I sounded confronting in my first post, it was supposed to be pure technical. Maybe you should have assumed good faith before retaliating ;) No hard feelings from my side, so let us get over it :) Hassanfarooqi 18:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah no problem, guess we both must have been in a bad mood! Sorry for my original mistake RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 18:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Advice to User:Jaakobou

Hello Ryanpostlethwaite, I see that you recently advised User:Jaakobou about how to warn me about vandalism [2]. As you have seen fit to intervene in this editors dispute with me, could you please be so kind as to explain to me which of my edits to my own user page constitute vandalism? Thanks Abu ali 19:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Abu, I simply moved the warnings from your user page to your talk page as I simply thought you would not want them there. With regards to advising User:Jaakobou on his talk page about giving final warnings, this was because he posted a comment on WP:AIV asking for help regarding your edits. The reason why I advised him was because 1)AIV should only be used to report users not get advice regarding them and 2)users should only be reported once they have been given a final warning. I wasn't in anyway implying that I thought your edits were vandalism, I was simply advising on the appropriate course of action to take with regards to reporting users. Regards RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 19:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for moving the warnings from my user page. I do definately prefer them on my talk page. But if you advise editors about leaving warnings in future, I would remind them to only use vandalism warnings when vandalism actually has taken place. In the case of User:Jaakobou, I personally would have advised him to calm down a bit. Regards Abu ali 21:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you!

Wikipedia is retarded ####### site. It's so ###### pointless and it's pages constantly change. A free-content encyclopedia has got to be the dumbest idea ever mostly because people in general are dumb and will do what I did to pages. And just for being a bitch about it, heres a gold BITCH STAR.

WHo gave him the right to blank my userpage? How did I personally attack him? Embargo 10:39, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Please let us avoid double-standards. Others are allowed to curse Hezbollah, some curse Muslims in general, some curse Arabs. How is my userbox provocative? Is it because it points out to Israeli hostilities? I barely contribute to Wikipedia because I have see what they do to pro-Arabs. Wikipedia is largely subjective. It seems this person wants to provoke me, because I have been inactive for some time. Tell him to leave me alone if you will, and I hope you would do the same. Embargo 10:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Greetings. Ryan, let us avoid double-standards, again. There are userboxes with "I support the State of Israel". Its opposite would be "I support (Hezbollah)", isn't it? I also indicated that I support armed resistance in case there were Israeli hostilities. I think the last part is what disturbs you most, the fact that I point out to Israeli hostilities. Something the whole world has witnessed this summer. Until every userbox that shows support to any party is removed, I will remove mine. Just to be fair, and logical. Also, please notify me before deleting my userpage. I do not think it is allowed. Embargo 15:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] NeSSI trademark issue...and thanks

Ryan, thanks for your comments. They are the first that actually describe what is objectionable and/or offer constructive advice about how to improve our submission. Without going into the long explanation you thought was coming....The University of Washington did indeed trademark (not copyright) register the NeSSI name, mainly to keep it open and avoid it being hijacked by some commercial interest for their product. However, trademarks and copyrights are quite different beasts -- although I now completely understand why you initially flagged it as an advert (does kinda look that way to an outsider). I will try to edit the page to disclose more fully the nature of NeSSI and its relationship to the University, companies involved in commercialization, end-users, and the public. I will also see what I can do to incorporate your other comments and make it more generally accessible to those not involved in the technology. I am at a conference this week but will do the edits early next. Thanks again for your comments. Veltkamp 18:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

• Since we passed the delete vote, I made my edits directly to the NeSSI page. Hopefully there is a better context for the page now. 2 questions: 1) is there a way to re-link a photo that was deleted due to not having a use or copyright tag? The original was subbitted by a collaborator and he is unavailable for a few days...if I could add the "use" info, I wouldn't need to re-upload the photo I don't have right now (although I do have the ok to post the photo). 2) can I remove the line(s) below -- they don't pertain to this subject? This is mostly a "point-of-policy" question, as I'm fairly new and unclear about editing someone elses text. A more relevent question might be "can I delete other's (or my own) posts on the NeSSI.talk page that are no longer relevent?"
  Thanks,Veltkamp 19:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

I will remove the "Israeli atrocities" because I really don't have the time or the patience to argue. Why is my userpage protected? Looks like you guys really do want to provoke me. Ask them to unprotect, if you will. Embargo 23:11, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:Lakeland.gif)

Thanks for uploading Image:Lakeland.gif. 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 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.

[edit] What?

Don't call me a vandal, i was just cleaning up what you did.F=IV3 00:36, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

This is a message to Ryan. You either have comitted vandalism, and you reverted it, or you didn't. It seems that you are not a trustworthy source either, seeing that many people made strange remarks about you and gave you a very appropriate star. Anyway, if there is a problem, contact me, but if you really did not vandalize or anything, accept my apologies. --This was posted at the place you reported me. Read it carefully, don't skim, and play attention to the last sentence.

Well, as i was using Lupin's filter, it caught you for some reason. What editing have you done to cause this? Ill check your contributions now.

Ok

Well then, accept my apologies. I'll look into that. Isn't that what Christian brothers and sisters are supposed to do? p.s. please stop adding a ToC.. sheesh -.-

Thanks Ryan! Ill do that, but for now, ill do hwk xD.

Hey, i was just wondering on how to use subst.. i've read the guides.. but they aren't really illuminating.. thanks. Lemme try something. {{subst:|article}} i dont get it lol..

Yeah constusctive edits not vandalism RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:05, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

It's not vandalizim, it's making is page b cool with humour. If you noticed, thath's the only thing I edited.

[edit] subst

I sort of get it.. SO you are replacing with special characters. Do you mind if i do something? I am going to try something. Please do not add nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to the shark page. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Thank you. .. meh, im such a slow learner xD (P.s. ryan, ignore what it says, i was merely testing :))

I was always so scared to put in an RfA, but it wasn't as horrible as I feared :) Let me know if you need anything or have any input about my use of the tools. And feel free to drop me a note if you notice AIV get full or anything. ('Course, I'm still waiting around right now, I guess the 'crats are busy after that downtime). See you around! Peace, delldot | talk 00:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

And what about my request for deletion of the main page!? RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 00:57, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

No worries about the Chacor thing, no harm done anyway. Thanks for sticking up for me though! I'm glad to have you as my wikifriend! :) delldot | talk 02:06, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] David Joyce

Hello David,

The entry for David Joyce has been amended to deal with your issues connected with the page.MikeJKearney 00:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] EVP

Thanks for your message and offer of help on the EVP page deletion. I put that edit in when there was an edit conflict. I think I'll see if the unsupported skeptical -or pro- claims and weasel words can be taken out before I propose deletion. I just don't think that this can be treated fairly. I don't have any reason to believe in EVP, but it seems skeptics can't be prevented from putting in supposed, scientists say, self-proclaimed, etc. etc., and making one scientist into many (seem my most recent edits). I really think that Wikipedia may not be equipped to deal fairly with such a controversial subject.

BTW, I could hardly load your talk page on my slow connection. Martin^phi _{(Talk Ψ Contribs)} 01:01, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Sounds like I need to archive my page! I will do it tomorrow! I've replied to the rest on your talk page RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 01:13, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vandal

Yea, they already struck out by vandalising your talk page. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:58, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Another one bites the dust then I guess! Thanks again RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 19:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Roger Royle

Many thanks for your compliments about my tweaks to the Roger Royle page. Sadly I can't claim any in-depth knowledge about the Rev Royle; I just happened to find a biog link at icWales.co.uk —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Wheresmike (talk • contribs) 16:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Barnstar

Thank you for the barnstar. I am honored very much. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 21:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Not a problem, all the work you do (especially so recently after being given the mop) really does inspire me to want to become an admin in the future. You do great work Chris RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 21:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. If you would like an informal editor review or a consult before you may be interested in an RFA, let me know and i would be glad to peruse your contribs and make a reccomendation, maybye even nominate you. -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 21:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Cheers Chris, thinking in about 3-4 months, need to address a few issues first though (I've been trying to be more civil with vandals and sometimes I interpet policy in my way, not the wikipedia way), but an editor review would be much appreciated before I'm thinking of going for it, and trust me, I am making an active step to try and sort any issues out. Lets face it, it can't be nice to be laughed off an Rfa and only truly deserving editors should be given the mop RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 21:49, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Er!?

Have you seen this edit summary! Tyrenius 23:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

You might also be interested to look at Special:Contributions/Ryanpostlethwaite, after you notified me it seams all my popup edit summaries have been like that! Guess it might be a good idea to look at my monobook but I haven't changed it! I'll try and stop using popups for the minute (although its by way of habbit now!). I'm really sorry if its caused any problems and thanks or letting me know RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:16, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I found it quite amusing, not to mention succinct. Perhaps it should be universally adopted. But I thought I should tell you nevertheless. Tyrenius 23:20, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah well, I guess theres no harm done then, we should probably see if Lupin could adapt it in!!! Cheers again RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 23:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Embargo's vandalism of my page

Hi, may you explain me which part of WP:USER the userbox

is violating? I do aks you for quotation of the section, because I can't find there any prohibition of expreessing support to same state or political belief. Thanks --ja_62 18:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

The part of WP:USER that the userbox violates is this section;

• Polemical statements:

“

libelling people on userpages is a bad idea, and in fact, using userpages to attack people or campaign for or against anything or anyone is a bad idea

”

- Jimbo Wales

Particularly Jimbo's statement, which states that campaigning for anything is a bad idea. Please note however, that this is just my opinion that the userbox fails this. Embargo's editing of your userpage was not vandalism as he was acting in good faith, thats why I commented on his talkpage RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 18:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

-Well, reading what you wrote me, I must assume, that I understand english better than you - I don't campaign for someone or against something, and my support for 'free and democratic' Israel does not attack any one or anything - in my userbox I just express my support for the state of Israel - it's just like to have tag {I like Spinach} - and been vandalised by devoted Carnivore - and t if Embargo was AGF, why he did not write me anything on my talk page? He just had vandalised my page. --ja_62 18:49, 15 February 2007 (UTC) BTW - What you see polemical on fact that I support Israel?

[edit] Re: Pet sitting

I did some minor modifications. The article looks nice, but with a section about insurance, it will surely attract spammers and advertisements, so watch out. -- ReyBrujo 16:36, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, I'll keep my eye out, cheers for the reply RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 16:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Link.

Would you mind coming to my talk page? There's something there I would like you to see. I think I have joined the club you are in. Acalamari 20:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I'll see you there!!! RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 22:32, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] No worries

Nah, nah, nah, don't worry about it. Honestly, I find the whole thing kind of amusing ;) Anyway, like I said before, no harm done, right? I could tell you were joking around on WP:BN, but I figured you might feel bad about it, which is why I left you that earlier note. Anyway, it's over now, hopefully! See you around. Peace, delldot | talk 02:19, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I really hope so, good look in your Rfa (I'm beig cautious now), again, I'm really sorry RyanPostlethwaite^{See the mess I've created or let's have banter} 02:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
