[edit] Darren Mack image

Yes, Image:Darren Mack.jpg should be undeleted. The image is irreplaceable because he is incarcerated, serving life sentence. I found the image here. Reverend X (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Allright, thanks. Reverend X (talk) 18:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Delete warnings

Doesn't seem like you are giving any warning before deleting images. Maybe the uploader is getting one. One of the bots gave warnings on the article talk pages to give others a chance to fix license issues. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you specify which image(s) you're referring to? Spellcast (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Possible sock puppet

Hi, you blocked User:86.29.132.226 for very offensive vandalism. On that IP's talk page, User:Bsrboy made the exact same offensive vandalism and then undid it [1]. This has me suspecting that they might be the same person. Could you please check this? Thank you TheProf - T / C 22:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Bsrboy also left a block notice on User talk:172.200.86.155 despite the fact he's not an admin and this IP user is not blocked, as you see here i removed it by blanking the page. As for the image problem, i'll remove it shortly :-) Thanks TheProf - T / C 22:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I want to go offline soon, can you point out which part of Wikipedia:NFCC states a non-free image can't be used in user space? It'll save me some time! Cheers TheProf - T / C 22:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, i'll remove it now and go offline. Have a nice night :-) TheProf - T / C 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted articles

Hi, I noticed that you deleted the articles Playboy's Top Party Schools 2002 and Playboy's Top Party Schools 2006 that I created (under a different user name). They were deleted through WP:PROD, but as far as I can see no warning was given to the creator. As the articles were both well written, formatted and sourced, I believe using PROD as opposed to WP:AFD was in error. I was going to put the articles up for deletion review, but I thought I'd contact you first to ask if you might restore the articles. If then you wish to nominate them for deletion, and let them go through the normal process of community debate, then that is fine with me.

Note that I am not interested in discussing the merits or viability of the articles with you through our respective talk pages, and will not engage in any such discussion. The reason for this is that I believe AfD is the correct forum for such a discussion, and to go through the arguments here would be redundant. Many thanks. Lampman Talk to me! 13:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response. I actually thought about moving the lists over to Party school, which happens to be under AfD at the moment, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks anyway. Lampman Talk to me! 15:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] hello

Please let this free image, Image:Angel Locsin.jpg exist.Thankyou {Mhtsw (talk) 05:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)}

I don't think so; I understand that you want to help, but you're doing it in a disruptive way in order to illustrate your point. Your fanaticism and fanboyism of Angel Locsin doesn't apply here, as Wikipedia editors are expected to provide neutral and favorable contributions, not turn the article into a fan site. Any more and a block, or worse, a ban can be imposed on you for your disruption. Thank you. Blake Gripling (talk) 05:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

i just want to sincerely apologize for what happened in the neo steam article. my point in writing the article is to provide information regarding the said game and not to advertise it. i guess its in the manner on how the article was written. i hope i can still create the page so that everyone would know more about this game. i'm considering revising the whole article in order to comply with the rules of wikipedia. i hope you accept my apology. thanks

[edit] Query. Help Please

Hi Spellcast. I have this doubt in my head. I am currently working on Running (No Doubt song). I want to get the article to GA class. I tried my level best, but the article is very small. Its only 9,000 bytes long. The reason is that the song was very unsuccessful and on top of that, it was released in only two countries. As a result, it has hardly any chart activities as well. It was also the last single of the album. As a result, i am unable to make it longer. But i want to make it GA as it is the only article which is keeping Rock Steady from becoming a featured topic. My question is, can an article of this length become a GA?? I hope you can understand. Reply awaited. Thank you! Indianescence (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your valueable advice. I have gained the confidence and have nominated the article. It would be a dream come true if Rock Steady becomes featured topic. Thank you once again. Indianescence (talk) 04:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I had one more doubt (sorry). If you have a look at It's My Life (Talk Talk song), we see that the Talk Talk version part is very small and improper, but the No Doubt part is good enough (Thanks to Drew!). My doubt is, if a person has to get the article to GA, he has to write even the Talk Talk section? Don't you feel it is unfair as the original version is old and cannot be made very nice. It can become a disadvantage right? Indianescence (talk) 04:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
We can do that? Awesome. I thaught there was a rule which said that cover versions have to be on the same page as the original song. I think all cover version songs on wikipedia are on the same page as the original. I have come across many such articles. Indianescence (talk) 04:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
I had that misconception because of It's All Coming Back to Me Now, as i felt that all the three version are good enough to be seperate articles, but as they are cover versions,they are together. But now i know its not the case. Thanks a lot. Indianescence (talk) 04:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks you!

Your advice has been really helpful. Running (No Doubt song) has become GA and Rock Steady is up for Featured Topic Candidate.[2]. If it passes, then i am sure it will be Drew's dream come true. Right now, the process is going very slow, with only one support. Indianescence (talk) 05:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your support. I never knew that Featured Topic Candidates take so long. I am leaving wikipedia forever on 28th April. I hope it passes before that. God knows what will happen to Gwen Stefani and No Doubt articles, even Drew is not here. What would hurt the most is that some editors would keep on vandalizing the articles and one fine day the articles would be up for "Removal of Featured Status". I think that was meant to happen. Indianescence (talk) 11:42, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I think you're right. I may come back, but not majorly, that is for sure. Indian Education system is one of the toughest and keeps you horribly occupied. I can come back maybe when i get married and have a job! But till i am studying, i see very less chances. On top of that i am studying for entering Indian Institute of Technology, which requires my 100% time. Good things in life have to wait in front of the better things. Thus, wikipedia has to stay away till i have IIT. Well, thank you and all the best if your life too. Cheers. Bye. Keep up your good work. Indianescence (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you so much. I really need those good lucks. Its a mad scramble for IIT. 350,000 students fight for 5,500 seats every year, and i am also one of those. Wikipedia has been a nice journey. But i am sure i will be able to come here once in a month to see whats going around. All the best in life to you too. Hoping to see you soon here. Real life caught me and arrested too! Byez.

[edit] Protection of Singapore article

Greetings! I saw that you had previously protected the Singapore article against non-admin moves indefinitely. The article text is also being vandalized on an ongoing basis, so edit protection was warranted. I don't like the idea of an indefinite protection there, so I set it for a six week protection (edit=autoconfirmed, move=sysop). That also means that your move protection will expire after six weeks.

I felt the text protection warranted immediate action. If you think the protection needs modified to provide additional coverage against moves, please let me know. —C.Fred (talk) 00:10, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

  • That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's escription page for each article the image is used in.
  • That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

[edit] Wallace Collins, Esq. Deletion

I believe you have not and did not research this individual completely or correctly as per your comments. He is a Lawyer and My Lawyer and i am very happy with what he has done for me and that is why i entered him in this Wikipedia, because i believed he deserved it and he is a recording artist

As far as his being a recording artist : His band was THE DYNOMITERS They were featured in 16 Magazine and other teen magazines and got press in the trades we were signed to Epic Records in 76 the most notable song was "Rock & Roll President"

I have read your Comments and reasons for deletion and find them to be prejurative and unfair this was neither Spam or Advertising he has done many cases and made Copyright Law. It is very easy to Spout nonsense and vitriol under an assumed id, i ask that you read the sources that he has on his page and if The NY TImes and Post and DMA and various industry pubs are not good enough for you then i do not understand.

See below:

His Notability is evident in that he has been cited in Major Newspaper and Music Trade Pubs, and he has made case Law in the Copyright and Trademark arenas.

Please look at his page if i did it wrong then i need someone to put a Wikipedia page up that knows what they are doing this is all very confusing to me.

http://www.wallacecollins.com/

Under his legal victories you can see the articles that have been reported on him such as; http://www.wallacecollins.com/la.html

[edit] Blocking

I ask that you use good sense and proper warnings before blocking people in the future. This is an IP used by more than 17 people, and when you quickly block it without warning, you shut us all out. 12.202.75.101 (talk) 16:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] blueprint

Its completely pointless as to why you reverted it back. I reverted it back so that reviews such as XXL and The Source will be shown. What was the point of deleting what i did? Your the one who was not constructive in point of that situation. You should read it first before making such false claims. Thanks. --76.67.75.140 (talk) 02:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Diana DeGarmo

Hi Spellcast, do you know how to fix listboxes? There's one on Diana DeGarmo that I've been trying to fix (Diana DeGarmo#American Idol), and I was wondering if you knew how to fix them. Thanks. Acalamari 22:04, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much! :) Acalamari 16:05, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Album Reviews

The standard listed at wikiproject albums is unnecessarily broad, and there are generally enough reviews to sites that are both reliable and notable to justify (IMO) removal of sites that don't fit both criteria. I can only think of one case where my removal of nn sites left an article with no reviews at all, and I'll refrain from doing that in the future. I know Sputnikmusic is OK, and I leave that one alone; if I removed any links to there it was by accident. I will admit, though, that it bugs me that they don't merit a wikipedia article and yet are specifically listed at wikiproject albums. 66.93.12.46 (talk) 01:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

I have started a discussion about what constitutes a review worthy of inclusion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Albums, and I would be interested to hear your thoughts. 66.93.12.46 (talk) 03:48, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Awards

I'm a little puzzled about the rationale given for removing factual reference to awards won from the lead of film actors. You cited WP:APT, which does not address the inclusion of factual awards, so I am at a loss as to how that is a peacock term. The generic use of "award-winning" may be using peacock term, but that is a non-specific reference. The other cite was for MOS:FILM, which is actually a WP:WikiProject Films style guideline, which covers inclusion in film articles, not biographies of actors. Actors are a function of WP:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers under WP:WikiProject Biography, neither of which address the inclusion of specific awards in the lead of a film actor's biography at all, much less include a directive against it. Wildhartlivie (talk) 04:43, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

I've looked over the WT:Neutral point of view/Archive 29#POV in first sentence? and I don't honestly see that a consensus was formed that this is an unacceptable inclusion. There was a lot of discussion, and many points were raised on both sides, but I saw no decision that it should be removed. One point in the NPOV discussion stood out to me: "Featured articles are considered to be the best articles in Wikipedia, as determined by Wikipedia's editors. Before being listed here, articles are reviewed at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates for accuracy, neutrality, completeness, and style according to our featured article criteria." Bette Davis is a featured article, featured on the main page on April 5, and in anticipation of that was intensely gone over by FA committee members to assure it still met the criteria. The statement wasn't contested. I recognize that this is your viewpoint, but I'm not convinced it implies bias, and a style guideline determination by a project that doesn't govern this particular category doesn't, to me, mandate its applicability elsewhere. I noticed in the discussion that someone raised the question of someone like Carl Lewis, whose article also includes his awards in the lead sentence. In the case of Davis, the awards and nominations were won, but they also function to define her as one of the most prominently accoladed actresses. Your example of Carmen Electra is humorous, but I'd point out that winning Academy Awards requires a great deal more consensus of the acting community than an award that was conceived by a small number of people intended to be an insult. What distinguishes Davis' career from that of, for example, Joan Davis, as a film, television and stage actress, is the awards. Wildhartlivie (talk) 05:34, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copy-edit

Hi Spellcast, I was wondering if you could help me out ? I've seen you do some copy-edits before and was hoping you could do one on the Doggystyle ? A user has requested it at the FAC and I doubt it'll pass before it receives one. A partial list of what has to be changed is on FAC page, but I think the article would need a complete copy-edit to be up to standards. I don't know if your a big copy-editor or whatever, but I think you would really help the page, since you seem to know what to look for. Please get back to me soon :) Thanks in advance. - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 14:50, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help man, I really appreciate it - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 20:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi again, (don't worry, it's not another copy-edit request) I was just wanting to ask you something. Your a member of Wikiproject Hip hop right ? I was thinking that all the current hip hop editors should try to get together and try to make the project active again. There's alot of people who I think could contribute to the project and get more hip hop-related articles to GA and FA, we just need to get these users to work on something together. I was personally thinking of restarting the member list because most of the people on it aren't editing anymore or just don't contribute to the project any longer (not to mention the page is a right mess), but I wanted other people to agree with that decision before I go around making massive changes to a WikiProject. Also, I was thinking of changing the current collabo because i'm pretty sure on-one is working together to improve Rapping, or even willing to. I think an album that everybody loves would be our best bet. I mean, when the project started they got Illmatic to FA, so it shows people can work together to get a hip hop album article up to the highest standards. What do you think ? - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 22:05, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Thablockishot.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Thablockishot.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 08:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you, and also...

Hello! Thank you for responding to my WP:AIV report against the vandalism by the IP account 139.222.126.24. I am interested in helping Wikipedia root out vandals. However, I don't know how to find them -- I sort of stumbled on this one by accident. Is there a particular section or page that I can monitor to help you keep an eye out for these digital ruffians? Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 15:48, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah, but I am using Internet Explorer and it doesn't appear that Twinkle works there (at least there is no mention of IE on the Twinkle page). Does it work on IE, or is there another tool? (I am not a Mozilla fan.) Thanks again. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:00, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I do a lot of article work (see my User Page) and I am involved with AfD and CSD input. I also try to sweep out the WP:Backlog of inadequate articles. I just wanted to get more involved in other aspects of this site. Thank you for your help! Ecoleetage (talk)

Ecoleetage (talk) has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Cheers, and happy editing!
Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Much appreciated. The Salma Hayek vandal was a first-timer (literally, its Wikipedia debut), and I suspected the user was about to go haywire elsewhere. Thanks for the guidance. Be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:46, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

Why did you remove "Academy Award-winning" from Cate Blanchett's article? I put that there because from what I can see that is the format for any Academy Award winning or nominated actor on Wikipedia. It wasn't a matter of repetition, as that is the summarization of the subject or person, and I personally look there to see if the actor in question has won or been nominated.

[edit] RS

Hi, can I use this article as RS for some statistical figures in the article Cuba-Pakistan relations? Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 11:16, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Otolemur. Unfortunately, this isn't my area of expertise, so I can't with say with certainty if it's a reliable source or not. If the site doesn't have any sort of agenda, I think it should be ok. If in doubt, you can always try the reliable sources noticeboard. Cheers, Spellcast (talk) 14:52, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
I am not using it as reference. I will use other mainstream newspapers for any useful information. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 15:12, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Spellcast. You sure this is an open proxy? Could you also not routinely block proxies indefinitely, as they rarely remain open for long. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:38, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I see the tell-tale edit. Is it an exit server and do you have the port or entry IP for future checking? School proxies don't tend to remain open for more than a couple of months. -- zzuuzz (talk) 10:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] user:I'm On Base

FYI, Wikilover222 (talk · contribs) requested an unblock of 67.189.185.73 (talk · contribs), which you had hard blocked as the IP of I'm On Base (talk · contribs). I have changed the block message of the IP to not use {{anonblock}} since that template invites the user to log in - an impossibility with a hard block and, since presumably it is a static non-shared IP, not something we want anyway. I have also indefblocked the account Wikilover222 under the assumption that it is a sleeper sock of your banned user. Please feel free to review any of the above. --B (talk) 15:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
