KRS-One pic

Hey, have you requested/got answer for the KRS-One photo I showed? Woop-Woop That's the sound of da Police 10:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you could've cropped out the left side of it without and puted that version just like the Lloyd Banks photo. Woop-Woop That's the sound of da Police 21:55, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Tha Carter III cover

Definitely fake, MediaTakeOut is a joke lol. I ran it through Photoshop and you could easily see someone just rendered those areas a different color from the old original cover that was leaked. --Ayoleftyz 21:44, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

List of 50 Cent awards

I see from your RfA nom that you're knowledgeable in areas relating to 50 Cent. Some time ago, I revamped the List of 50 Cent awards page by converting all the info to tables, which you revamped one again here, which is much better than my version, BTW. I worked along Neranei (talk · contribs) to bring List of U2 awards to Featured List quality (the work was mostly from her part, of course). I think this one has a lot of potential. Would you be willing to address concerns if I nominated it to FL status (hypothetically, of course)? Happy editing! --Agüeybaná 22:05, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Excellent! Give me some time to write the nom, and I'll alert you when it's ready. --Agüeybaná 22:15, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
No, not at all. In fact, the ones who worked on the page are the ones technically responsible for addressing concerns. They're also allowed to support the nomination. --Agüeybaná 22:20, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
I've finished the article. I added sources and copy-edited it. I also supported the nom, as it has already been nominated to FLC status. Happy editing! --Agüeybaná 23:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Why is "gold" redundant? As far as I know, gold is not the same as platinum :-) --Agüeybaná 23:50, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

No one expects a Pigman admin!

Wallowing in my RfA: This time it's personal...
My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities. I will strive to be an admirable admin, shiny and cool, reasonable and beatific. Pigmanwhat?/trail 05:57, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Post Scriptum: I believe my collaged graphic at left, which incorporates the WP globe and mop image, falls under the rubric of parody for my purposes here. Or is it satire? Regardless, it's a legitimate and legally protected First Amendment usage under US law. Complaints and allegations that this is an improper "fair use" image will be entertained on my talk page, probably with fruit juice, finger food and exotic coffees.

Hi Spellcast,

Just to let you know if you ever see any edits on Craig David's Wiki page from me they will always be genuine.

I do a lot official online work for Craig and his team so all of my edits will always be fine.

Edit: Update. Why do you keep removing the promotional image from Craig's page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by NickHSpurs (talk • contribs) 13:34, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, congratulations, Mr. Spellcast! You'll be a good administrator for sure. Daniil Maslyuk 02:15, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

My pleasure, and thank you for your ability to follow simple instructions - you would be surprised how many admins are incapable of doing so! Good luck, and I'm usually around if you ever have any questions or concerns. Best, Neil ☎ 09:41, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
You're very welcome and I'm glad to hear of your success. Feel free to ask for help, as admins can still get stuck! It's no problem. Best wishes, Lradrama 11:13, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

You just decimated the article, from your summary I suspect it was a mistake. i reverted, you need to do your edit again. Thanks, SqueakBox 02:35, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

That was a particularly yuck story, glad your edit happened as we do not want someone like that seen as notable enough for our pages. Good edit. Thanks, SqueakBox 02:49, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Agh! I missed the chance to vote on your Rfa. Let me congratulate you! Thanks, SqueakBox 03:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Craig David

I see your point on the trivia section, and although I don't entirely agree, I completely see where you are coming from. I think trivia makes an artist more "human" and gives bits of information that a reader may find interesting, that they may otherwise never get to read about. Thanks for being POLITE! Skyler Morgan 01:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


Actually I DO HAVE a few questions that would be useful to know the answer to. 1. How do you cite sources per Wikipedia standards? 2. How do you insert the little "Citation Needed" notation in articles? 3. What is the procedure for requesting additional help on an article?

THANK YOU!

re:Nelly Furtado extended discography

Ouch, yes! Charts-cruft, Fancruft, Listcruft, you name it. This needs to go ASAP - all this separation of countries, etc - reeks of POV as well. There is no reason to go beyond what her regular discography already has... aside from the fact that it sets a horrible precedent - imagine one of these pages for all the pop/R&B divas? Yikes! Speedy-delete or WP:AfD it or somethin'! - eo 01:32, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Ahem

Aren't you an admin now? [1] KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 09:43, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Steve. Yeah I am, but I'm still a bit new to this. I'm really tempted to do a 6 month block since it's a school. But at the risk of doing an overly-long block, I'm letting someone else do it ;) Spellcast (talk) 09:48, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
Ahem, be BOLD. :P Besides 99% of actions you do as an admin are reversible so no real harm. You should look at my block log lol. Although when I first got my tools I was hesitant to enforce long term blocks too. If I may suggest, this is my opinion(s) on the matter. KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 09:52, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Avoiding redirects

Re: this edit:

Fair enough - I wasn't aware of that guideline. However, my personal view is that I don't like seeing unnecessary links to redirects - it smacks of carelessness as though the editor hasn't checked the link (though I'm occasionally guily of this myself.) In this situation, I don't see that Napolean will be developed into a separate article, except as possible a future disambiguation page in which case any links will need to be updated anyway. However I'm not going bothered enough to get into a revert war about it ;-)  – Tivedshambo (talk) 12:16, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, you said i vandalize something. Can you please tell me what did i do? I sear to god i didn't do anything wrong. Thanks =). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.191.91.213 (talk) 16:47, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

That's funny...

Either my IP is a shared IP, or Wikipedia hiccuped. I went to Wikipedia, and found myself linked to this(through a message informing me I had a new message). I know it wasn't me, but it's still kinda funny--Vercalos (talk) 05:45, 20 November 2007

Ok just admit it...you were the IP that blanked the page :P But seriously though, I never thought someone would contact me for an edit I made in April this year. I guess no edit in Wikipedia goes unseen! Spellcast (talk) 06:28, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
Heh. I didn't even notice the date. Strange that I didn't receive any notification of a message until the 20th of this month. Maybe my IP address changed?--Vercalos (talk) 06:49, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Your RC cleanup

Hey Excirial, I see you a lot at RC patrol. You're definitely one of the finest vandal fighters I've come across. I'd give you a barnstar but it's too clichéd. So I'm just letting you know that every revert and report is really appreciated. I'm sure you will be a great asset with the tools one day. Cheers! Spellcast (talk) 09:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

And all your aiv reports have been great, I see an admin in the making! --Chris 09:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
  • (Becomes tomato red) Not so fast people, i didn't even recover from blushing from the previous compliment! Well, what can i say? I think: "Thanks a lot for the compliments, and glad to help!" Will fit in here just fine! I love doing this vandalism patrol, and perhaps i will issue an RFA someday. Not yet, since my account has been only 1 month old (Even though i have been around since March 2006 on IP level, but not exactly active). Perhaps some time in the future, when i have encountered more of the wikipedia guidelines. Im still quite green on those, and i want to make sure i know them more thoroughly before i request adminship :) --Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 09:10, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Maleflixxx Television

I noticed that you deleted the article, Maleflixxx Television and I would like to know why you did this. Yes, I understand that this article was deleted before and was created again, but what you may or may not know is that there was never a discussion whatsoever done on this article for it to be deleted in the first place. It was deleted completely out of the blue with no discussion done on it before hand and this is completely unfair. This is a completely ligitamit and notable article that was deleted for no reason because I'm sure some user out there has a personal problem with the context of the article which is no reason for it to be deleted. I suggest the article be created again and if someone objects then a discussion for deletion be done on it, but no way should it just be deleted out of the blue like that again. MusiMax (talk) 16:48, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

And adding to that, the new article did give references to why it was notable as well. So the argument that no references and it being not notable was mute with the new article because it did have both. MusiMax (talk) 17:20, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Just because Channel Zero Inc. was deleted, that doesn't mean that everything associated with it be deleted as well. That discussion was for Channel Zero Inc., not for any of the other articles. Channel Zero was deleted but you leave the other ones alone unless a discussion is made for that specific article. All of these articles need to be put back. This is absolutely ridiculous. MusiMax (talk) 15:51, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

Message

Hi the reason why I deleted it is simply because it is not true, there is no evidence at all that any money was stolen and the user (Lanifex) is trying to find conspiracy when no conspiracy is present, I can give you more details if you want to email me at tom.stubbs@nus.org.uk I am fed up with the mis information that he's giving out. I witnessed the accounts, I know whats going on!

Inapropriate content

Hello! You recently deleted an article titled How to hack school website security blocks. The same user who created that article also created a very similar article titled The ratton password. He is editing these articles under his unregistered IP (86.141.230.124 (talk · contribs)) as well as his username Mattj5095 (talk · contribs). I placed a speedy delete tag on both articles but the second one isn't deleted yet. I also placed a warning on both talk pages of the user. I don't know if he deserves a short "cooling down" block or just a stern warning for recreating deleted material but he might turn out to be a nuissance. SWik78 (talk) 18:59, 22 November 2007 (UTC)

stop and desist notices

So I'm browsing an other topic & page says I've got a message (?) You were a contributor, said stop messing with the satan page, but really have no idea what you mean or if I will have this IP address again ever. (the complaint was directed to 81.129.117.15. It's probably not worth chasing every non-account IP address, I'm surprised that non-account holders can make changes to be honest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.129.117.15 (talk) 14:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

It was probably someone else because it's a shared IP. And yes, IPs can also edit. The ability of anyone to edit without registering is a foundation issue. Although I wish it was different sometimes. Spellcast (talk) 16:53, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

blogspot

No, looks like a variety of "subdomains" are listed on the blacklist here, I just archived it as it was over a week old and the page was in desperate need of getting under control. Dirk is now monitoring it I think. In practice it doesn't look like anyone actually listed anything - I think the whole domain would have people screaming! If you want me to list the ones you flagged...

/thinks - yes, do you want me to bring it back and list those you mentioned - I guess we got sidetracked on to the general point and away from the specific? Let me know - cheers --Herby talk thyme 16:07, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

I have no problem listing counting-crows.blogspot.com based on that evidence - as you say it really was spammed quite a bit and that is what the list is for. It is a hard balance between putting in sites that really are quite infrequent link placers and those that are so obviously a nuisance anyone would do it.
Let me know, the crows one happily, the others if you feel strongly - your call, cheers --Herby talk thyme 16:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
No problem, again if you see something up & coming it can always be listed for a month say till the fuss is over, saves tedious reversions. You know where I am - cheers --Herby talk thyme 16:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: IP hopper

Yeah; that would make sense. Or perhaps an abuse report? Either way, something has to be done, and I should have done it earlier — this one vandal has been disrupting articles for months. Extraordinary Machine (talk) 22:31, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding international charts in discography

WP policy states AfD is only conclusive as to whether or not the subject article should be deleted or kept. Per the guidelines, merge is only a recommendation, not a mandate. Actual realization of a merge, if recommended, is still discretionary.

"An AFD decision is either to 'keep' or 'delete' the article. AFD discussions which fail to reach rough consensus default to 'keep'. The AFD decision may also include a strong recommendation for an additional action such as a 'merge' or 'redirect'." --WP:GD

Note that the recommendation for additional action is optional, and constitutes no more than a "strong recommendation".

To put it precisely, you characterized it as "Result of AfD was delete, not merge." But actually, the result of the AfD was delete, not keep. The decision does not preclude merging some content.

Even a recommendation to merge is itself a recommendation to delete. But a consensus for deletion is not a recommendation not to merge.

Adding content to another article from a previously deleted atricle is consistent with policy. AfD deletion is not a lifetime ban of any and all of the content of the article. Am I wrong about the policy? Thanks for discussing. Bsherr (talk) 06:43, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

If you'd actually like to discuss content, is there a specific reason you oppose international charts in articles? I think you mentioned that it is because they comprise less than 1% of CD sales. If so, I'd be happy to provide information showing that the top five countries account for only a little over half of album sales. Other markets are more substantial than you give credit. Hope we can come to an arrangement. Bsherr (talk) 07:03, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Requesting your expertise and Commons account

Hello, the image of the WP:HH got deleted from Commons. This image was being used in the userbox and project template.
Here it is the diff.
Another user added another image of breakdancing, but I think it was more appropriate the image that got deleted. Check it if you can do something about it. Reply here, thank you.--Tasc0 23:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

I've brought up the issue at the Commons help desk. Hopefully this can be sorted out. I'll keep you posted. Spellcast (talk) 07:59, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, thanks.--Tasc0 00:02, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Any news? Can you post the link of the thread?--Tasc0 22:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
You can check out the thread at Help desk#Image:Breakdance-oldschool.png. Apparently the uploader was "User:Jean-no". I'm about to type up a message to him. Spellcast (talk) 22:28, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I do not know where did Lupo get the image that was deleted was a smaller version of Image:Breakdance oldschool.jpg.
I think we can use this one now. I didn't know there was another copy of it. Tell me what you think. Ask it there, maybe.--Tasc0 04:58, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Well Image:Breakdance oldschool.jpg is under a license that allows you modify it. So you can probably create a PNG version of it as long as you show that it came from the jpg one. Apparently the PNG format is preferred but I can't tell any difference. Spellcast (talk) 05:01, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Because it is a drawning, not a shot. But I'm guessing you got to process the image. Because it would make no difference if I just change the file extension.
I'm going to use this image for the WP:HH-related templates. But I will wait to the thread you created, I want to see what they have to say.--Tasc0 05:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
If there's no response in a day, just upload your own version. Just make sure you show that it came from the JPG one otherwise it could get deleted again. Spellcast (talk) 05:40, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Why would I upload a new version when we have this one already?--Tasc0 05:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I thought you may have wanted to upload it under a PNG file because it's preferred for drawings. But it doesn't really matter, the JPG one if fine too. Spellcast (talk) 05:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I added the image to Template:WikiProject_hip_hop. Would you mind adding Image:Breakdance oldschool.jpg to your Commons' watchlist? Thanks.--Tasc0 04:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
Sure, it's already watchlisted. Spellcast 15:22, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

<restoring indent>Hello, Spellcast. I just saw your edit to Template:WikiProject hip hop, you replaced it with the PNG version of the image. And according to this, Lupo restored the image on December 2. That's the date this discussion was taking place.
May I was why those move? Are you awared of something? Thanks in advance. Remember, reply here.--Tasc0 01:18, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I forgot. Take a look to this--Tasc0 01:20, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I didn't even know Lupo restored the image until today. It was deleted for not having the author, but after finding out it was by Jean-no, he restored it. Spellcast (talk) 01:35, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Also, The Gangsta, The Killa & The Dope Dealer could be official. On Amazon, it says it was released by Priority Records. Spellcast (talk) 01:38, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, how exactly did you find out the image was restored back?
Regarding the album article. How come there's no promotion what so ever and just released the album hoping everybody will buy it. I think this was released just by the label and with out advicing the group (ex)members. Just think of the fact that Mack 10 is not a member of the group anymore and the group itself it's not active since 2003.
If they're coming back, at least Ice Cube and WC, there must be some type of promotion. This is a very similar situation like the "last" album by Above the Law, which wasn't official either.--Tasc0 03:02, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I wouldn't be surprised if the group weren't advised. But if it was released by their label, it should be considered official. Spellcast (talk) 03:12, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
You didn't say how did you find out the image in PNG version was restored.
There's also a Mack 10 compilation album, also released on the same record label and with a front cover pretty similar to the Westside Connection album. Amazon
This is clearly an attemp of the record label to earn some money, since those tracks were already recorded. I suggest you to reconsider your opinion.
By the way, I have this anonymous user who keeps chaging the name of some songs. Here he is. Do I actually gotta report him to the Noticeboard or you can handle it from here? Thank you.--Tasc0 03:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I found out the PNG version was restored after logging into Commons today. And I agree the album doesn't seem too notable. There's not much you can write about it, but if it was released by their label, then it should be official. You can take it to WP:AFD if you want. And All Music Guide spells it as "G's & Loc's" and "Wish You Were Here". But you say you've got the actual album? Spellcast (talk) 03:42, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I know what AMG says. But the back of the album it's spelled with out apostrophes. I can't post the back cover here because, like I said, it will violate the copyrights. And this issue is not a fair use. The user can't reach my by e-mail because anonymouse users don't have that right, and I'm not posting my e-mail address on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tasco 0 (talk • contribs) 03:56, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Haha yeah, I'm going through all the albums of the Wu-Tang Clan members. I'm just making sure those annoying bots don't end up deleting them. As for the user, I think he's editing in good faith. I'll still watch the article though. Spellcast (talk) 05:49, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Actually, the bots just tag them. The admins delete them.
The user may be editing in good faith, but he's adding false information and he claimed he won't stop. The way I see it, that's a vandal.--Tasc0 06:04, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Well he saw it was spelled that way in the music video, so he thinks it's right. Anyway, he seems to have stopped after your warning. Spellcast (talk) 06:13, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
No. He stopped editing for this day. Tomorrow he will be back at it. I have this problem for over a week. He started on December, 6. Today is 12. Check the history of both articles: Nationwide Rip Ridaz; Damu Ridas
He said he won't stop. He'll be back tomorrow and the day after, etc.--Tasc0 06:20, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
You've cited the most reliable source- the actual album. If he changes it without explaining, I'll block him. Thanks. Spellcast (talk) 06:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
Okay. I'll let you know... if you miss his edits. Appreciate it.--Tasc0 06:44, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

The Slim Thug pic is fine because it was freely released by the photographer. You can see it has "Some rights reserved." The WC pic should be ok too.

Vandalism intervention request

Hi Spellcast, It's been the first time I have made a vandalism intervention request and I'm not very sure It worked out...the vandal remains unblocked and the article remains undeleted. Did I do something wrong? Thank you. --Varano (talk) 22:37, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Cuold you please tell me were I should denounce such situations in the future? And besides that I belive Spanish Courts for Violence against Women should be definitively deleted for the same reasons that caused all this mess. Thanks. --Varano (talk) 22:49, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Ok, I tried that procedure you linked me to, but obviously I did something wrong. I find it a pretty difficult deletion mechanism...or maybe it's just that I'm no used to it. Please check what needs to be fixed. Thanks. --Varano (talk) 23:15, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
You missed transcluding the page onto the daily log, which was the only major mistake. I took care of that. I took care of one other glitch also. And I left one thing that could be improved, but really doesn't matter. GRBerry 23:18, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

relisting AFDs

Hi, when you relist an AFD, like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hedrick Cooperative, you need to remove it from the old AFD day log, otherwise it will still show up as being unclosed for that day. I've gone ahead and fixed this one. --W.marsh 01:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Eton College vandal

Can I Have It Like That

Hey, just noticed that you re-moved the article back to its lowercase "like" name. Can I ask which naming conventions you're referring to? GlassCobra 00:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

All official materials refer to the title of the song as "Like" with a capital L, including the picture right on the page, which is the cover of the single. Like User:Esprit15d, I would instead propose that we title the page per the name of the song. GlassCobra 01:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
As far as I know, "like" is not one of the ones that is applicable under this rule. See Smells Like Teen Spirit, Head Like a Hole, Smells Like Nirvana, Whatever U Like, Rock You Like a Hurricane, etc. GlassCobra 04:27, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm finding it a little hard to believe that a word not explicitly included in the MoS would trump blatantly obvious precedent set by all the other articles I listed. Perhaps we could get an RFC about this? GlassCobra 04:56, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Manuela Darling-Gansser

The article that you deleted had passed the deletion review under question of notability. Even the original deleting admin said that it was not a question of notability but one of sourcing and referencing, which the review agreed on. As stated by one of the current comments by admin Keeper | 76 that the article needed ISBN# and sourcing for it to be accepted. Once that comment was posted i did exactly that. The article is now fully referenced with secondary sources and ISBN numbers are provided as well as links to other wiki sites and categories. There have been 4 editors of the article in its one week on air. Therefore the problems of the admins proposing deletion have been rectified by both editing and the original deletion review decision. To uphold this deletion is double jeopardy! please restore the article, if there are other specific issues i will rectify them as i have made clear through my actions that i am willing to adapt the article to comply with wiki laws. --Birri85 (talk) 01:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello,

I noticed you speedily deleted the article Glued money as "patent nonsense". I hope you don't mind that I restored it because it did not seem to qualify as patent nonsense. I was able to understand the entire thing. I removed the original research and prodded it, but it was not a candidate for speedy deletion in my opinion.

User:Mafiadollsauthor - User has only made a couple of edits and those edits have been to paste their novel onto their userpage. Would a block and deletion of user page be appropriate in this situation? ScarianTalk 00:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thank you for your time. I assumed it to be a novel because of the users' edit summary.

Actually there was significant activity on 30 Nov but also some on 1 Dec.

Your argument does make sense, but some covers just aren't available without a Parental Advisory sticker, and I'd like to somehow keep everything standardized.

Orphaned non-free media (Image:HateThatILoveYouCover.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:HateThatILoveYouCover.PNG. 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:21, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Article Objectives of Spanking Positions delted

At 13:50, 17 December 2007 you deleted the article in question (Speedy deleted per (CSD A1), was a very short article providing little or no context.) I don't agree that this article was very short (there are a reasonable number of shorter articles at Wikipedia) and did not provide context. Further more, I was working to improve the content by adding external and see also links.

As I would also like to improve the content, what can I do?

Hi - this seems to be an open proxy (here). Will you look at the block maybe? Many thanks --Herby talk thyme 08:14, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

BIG disclaimer - I am not in zzuuzz's league. However the proxy detection page shows it as current, the behaviour is consistent and there are a fair few hits for it as being a "fresh" proxy as far as I can see (this is interesting/useful too). I'll deal with it if you want by in general I'll not tamper with other's blocks (until I get to know them :)) Cheers --Herby talk thyme 08:25, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
OK. I have to say while I have learnt a great deal from folk on a number of wikis I am not expert. However the fact that this one is in the detection page as "now" means it is current in the database so - for me - it is definitely blockable as an Open proxy. However equally "for me" I will no longer block for more than a year. Discussion with zz and looking at info others have given me the view would definitely be that the internet is a changeable place (!). IP's get fixed, re-allocated etc. I've blocked for a year.

I guess a permanent ban for this troll/edit-warrior, User:Otolemur crassicaudatus, would be in order. His previous ban did not seem to make him improve his behaviour.BjarneMG (talk) 18:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

re: Bolding

Hey.... I don't think there is any official word on boldfacing album titles in discography pages.... personally I don't care for it and I remove it when I see it, but I think it just depends on the editor. I figure if chart positions shouldn't be boldfaced then there is no reason to be bolding anything else. And I'll check out the 50 Cent page as well, thanks! - eo (talk) 02:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:The Doors - L.A. Woman.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:The Doors - L.A. Woman.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The image needs a rationale for each article.--Rockfang (talk) 00:32, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

OTRS

Hello, I found some images on Flickr of Chamillionaire that seems to be published by the copyrights holders, but the licenses are not free.
Would you mind requesting it thru the OTRS system? Here they are one, two, and three. Tasc0 It's a zero! 18:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

I've sent the requests except for the last one. It has the "Getty Images" trademark on the top left. I'll keep you posted, thanks. Spellcast (talk) 21:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I missed that watermark. Thanks! By the way, do you have to register some type of account to use the OTRS system? Tasc0 It's a zero! 21:40, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Not necessarily. If you've received permission from a copyright holder and have got the email transcripts, you can send it to permissions-commons(at)wikimedia.org. Spellcast (talk) 21:45, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, where do you have to go/ask to have an account? Tasc0 It's a zero! 22:09, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
You don't need to register an account. You just send them the email transcripts. Spellcast (talk) 22:19, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Are you sure? Take a look to this Tasc0 It's a zero! 22:26, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
You don't need to register to send permission transcripts to the OTRS. But if you want to have access to all the transcripts sent to permissions-commons(at)wikimedia.org, then you have to be a registered volunteer. See Image:WC (rapper).jpg for example. Notice how it says "The permission for use of this work has been archived in the Wikimedia OTRS system; it is available as ticket #2007100910015187 for users with an OTRS account. To confirm the permission, please contact someone with an OTRS account." To access the ticket, you need OTRS access, which is why that link is secure. Spellcast (talk) 22:43, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
Okay. Keep me updated with the images. Tasc0 It's a zero! 23:03, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

ZincOrbie (talk) 22:01, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Bad move

You messed up when you moved the Big N' Tasty to Big n' Tasty. Let me quote the WP:CAPS policy that you used as the reason for the move:

Convention: For page titles, always use lowercase after the first word, and do not capitalize second and subsequent words, unless: the title is a proper noun. For multiword page titles, one should leave the second and subsequent words in lowercase unless the title phrase is a proper noun that would always occur capitalized, even in the middle of a sentence.

I bolded the proper noun to point out what you did wrong: Big N' Tasty is a proper noun like iPod, Empire State Building and Burger King and was properly capitalized, if you had taken five minutes to look at the McDonald's web site you would have seen that.

Please use your magical admin power and put it back to the proper name.

- Jeremy (Jerem43 (talk) 17:55, 28 December 2007 (UTC))

You are not paying attention: the official name is Big N' Tasty with a capital "N". The product's brand name is just like Filet-O-Fish where the "O" is also capitalized, even though the capital "o" is a contraction of "of". Because the capital "n" is part of the proper name, it overrides the contraction rule. This is closer to the General rules found in MOS:TM, which cites Clif Bar is used instead of Clif bar.
We are not dealing with grammar here, we are dealing with the naming of a product just like in the cases I mentioned. A further example would be the Scion xA where the "A" is deliberately capitalized even though it is not supposed to be in the rules of English grammar.
Please fix it.

Article deletion

I have to say I don't agree with your speedy deletion of Les Paul-100 on A1 grounds. Speedy criterion A1 reads: "Very short articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article." The subject is quite obviously an electric guitar and the article provides plenty of context to make that determination. The article even included specs for the guitar. --Spike Wilbury ♫ talk 22:12, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Smells Like Teen Spirit move

You just moved "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to "Smells like Teen Spirit". The page was moved once before, but was moved back during a discussion days before the article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page. It was determined to leave the page at "Smells Like Teen Spirit", one of the main reasons being that it's the song's proper title and the song is never referred to as "Smells like Teen Spirit" by media and academic literature, much less on various releases.

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Nas - I Am....jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Nas - I Am....jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 3

Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate, that landed on WP:100! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because of the holidays and all the off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, and have a great new year, --Elonka 05:14, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Something has to be done about it. I have never seen genres being sourced in any article. They are chosen from the Critical reviews. This is what that has been done with all the articles. Everyone finds What You Waiting For? as a rock song, but it is dance pop accroding to Critics. Nothing can be done about it. This genre war ir getting on my nerve.

This user, who is making edits through his address now, has sourced the genres in an odd way. I mean, there are trillions of sources which feel that the song/album is some or the other genre, so are we suppose to list all the hundreds of genre. Are there any guidelines for genres? THis edit war is still on and annoying. Indianescence (talk) 09:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Suddenly this genre thingie has started on wikipedia or it is happening to Stefani related article only. Another guy 87.196.0.106 is editing genres. Something has to be done. Is there any guideline related to genres? Indianescence (talk) 16:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

The user has returned and continues to do the same. I thought he or she was blocked. He or she changes the genre but forgets the cats. He or she isn't paying attention. Charmed36 (talk) 22:09, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

I may be wrong, but i think 86.29.241.91 is User:Gwenspride08. What say? Indianescence (talk) 07:34, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Can you check if any of the links in this section violate WP:FANSITE? I'm not an expert on this, so maybe you can help? Please reply on your talk page if you so choose to comment, I'm watching it. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 00:40, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. I removed what seems to be 3 unofficial fansites and some random unreliable biography site. Hope that helps. Spellcast (talk) 18:21, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

300px = Best cover resolution?

Hi Spellcast. I noticed you posted a comment on my talk page a couple weeks ago saying that 300px is the best cover resolution, and anything lower is redundant. How come it's 300px if the cover automatically shows up as 200px? Based on this, shouldn't 200px be the best cover resolution? Rappingwonders (talk) 21:51, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

I read your reply on my talk page, but I still don't get it. How does the whole "megapixels" thing work? Rappingwonders (talk) 21:58, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Breeding to a draft horse

Hi, Spellcast. I noticed you just deleted Breeding to a draft horse, claiming it was a blatant copyright infringement. I suspected this too, so I did a Google search and found this Word document (Google cache), from which the text of this article was obviously directly copied. But the author of the copied text is identified as Terri Aigner, with an e-mail address of aignerad@cox.net; and the user who created the Wikipedia article is User:Aignerad. So I am led to believe that this is not copyright infringement, but rather the author has contributed her own (previously published) work to Wikipedia, which is fine.

Now, whether or not the article should remain here is another question. Much of it has a "how-to" style, which isn't appropriate here, but there are a few facts, accompanied with references, which may belong in an article such as Draft horse. Let me know what you think. —Bkell (talk) 05:14, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Brian, thanks for the heads up. I've restored the article as it seems User:Aignerad is the author. Assuming this can even stay in the long-term, it needs a lot of cleanup. I hope this hasn't put that user off editing! Spellcast (talk) 05:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I added merge tags to the top of Breeding to a draft horse and Draft horse. Hopefully someone who is knowledgeable in this area will take note and be able to do something with this. I agree it needs a lot of work. —Bkell (talk) 05:24, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm certainly no expert on that too. Hopefully someone will come and merge the appropriate info in a month. Spellcast (talk) 05:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

re deleted joujouka image

can you pls show me where i was notified re this deletion ??? Re added image pls inform before any further action Opiumjones 23 (talk) 17:10, 20 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks for reply. There is no other available image of the group at that time eg 1970 and the group issued it for that use.However i got no warning as you had stated. Opiumjones 23 (talk) 01:23, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Would you mind giving a hand to a less experienced user?

I chanced upon Image:Cormyr.jpg, which you deleted recently. Its uploader, David Latapie, provided an insufficient free use rationale after being notified of the image's impending deletion, including a request to let him know if it was insufficient because he'd never provided one before. After that didn't happen he contacted the tagger saying that he won't protest the outcome but is unhappy of the lack of further notice or alternate solutions, and was told to do a better job with rationales in the future.

It would probably be fair and certainly polite if someone with the skill to do so - such as you - dropped by to work out with him whether there's a way to make the image acceptable. Please? I'd do it, but I've been <euphenism> ill </euphenism> so it takes enough effort to honor existing admin responsibilities without taking on new ones.

And to end on a characteristic non-sequitur, here's an old something about nuclear war if you really want to freak yourself out. --Kizor 01:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Tgannon

I think it was a bad decision for you to block User:Tgannon, he in no way was committing "vandalism". He kept adding a fact without a source and then I explained to him how to cite a source. He is a new user who doesn't understand policies. This is a case of WP:BITE.--STX 04:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I understand but I think we should AGF. Perhaps he was scanning through recent changes and/or experimenting with the undo button. I also should remind you that he was never warned about that particular edit. Yet he was warned for this edit, which was just unsourced. On the Presidency of Dwight D. Eisenhower he did provide a source, which did cite what he stated (although unreliable). I think that blocking him as with many well-meaning editors causes blowback. This defines WP:BITE.--STX 04:29, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
Funny ... I was just coming here to say that you made a mistake by unblocking him. I guess it just goes to show you can't please everybody. ;) Looking at his contributions, I can't find a worthwhile edit among them. But I guess time will tell. --B (talk) 04:54, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

That is fine with me. But the situation is same with all Gwen Stefani related articles. Are we supposed to repeat the whole process for all 15 Gwen Stefani related articles.

User:169.204.210.130 block

Hi, a new Admin here. I was about to block User:169.204.210.130 when I saw you had done before me by just a few seconds. My block would've been for a lot less than the 3 months you applied. As they already had a short-period block before, I thought a couple of days (which extends automagically because of the upcoming weekendas it is a school IP) would have sufficed. No complaints here, just wanted to see your rationale for a harsher block. A newly frocked Admin wants to learn. Happy wiking! (you can answer here, no need to use my Talk for this one) -- Alexf(Talk/Contribs) 18:16, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Alex, I always do a WHOIS search before blocking. If it's a school IP, I usually block for 3 months at minimum. Otherwise, I do standard 24/48 hour blocks. WP:BLOCK says the block duration should be related to the likelihood of the vandalism repeating. That IP has been vandalising for the last 5 months in a row. So yeah, I always do much longer term blocks for schools. Spellcast (talk) 18:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Again, no criticism, but based on Wikipedia:BLOCK#Duration_of_blocks and that they only had one previous block for 31 hours, it seems rather excessive. Thx for the response. -- Alexf(Talk/Contribs) 18:33, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
No problem. Also, that IP is registered to the "Washington School Information Processing Cooperative", which has also been blocked under 169.204.119.55, 169.204.84.133, 164.116.250.230, and 169.204.238.246. There would obviously be many others as well. Spellcast (talk) 18:45, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

They are not the same. That is what the point is. I don't feel that this chart is bloggish and independent as it is on Mediatraffic.de, but an editor on Early Winter's talk page says that is not official and is independent. I have no clue. Indianescence (talk) 13:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Its getting repitative, but i will still mention again. For example, On Mediatraffic chart, Number 4 is Early Winter, while on the others its not. Therefore, they are not the same. THus, which chart to be used? Indianescence (talk) 18:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

about the game edits

the reason i put the game (rapper) at the top is because he is more well known that a harvard tradition, the only "game" not refurring to the rapper that would be would be more known by the general public would be the olympics which is at the bottom of all of the games...? im not biased, some people just dont common sense when it comes to importance of placing items with the same name, c'mon, the harvard "game" over the "olympic" game? ridiclous, since i cant do the site some justice and put olympics at the top of the "game" list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Johnny....yes (talk • contribs) 19:23, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

I've got to hand it to you, you are doing a great job handling everbody's favorite phantom IP vandal. Just out of curiosity, how many times have you blocked him so far?

hmmm... I was pretty sure that you had blocked the same guy more than once. (He apparently had something like a proxy server or another way to obtain a new IP address so he could circumvent the block.) After he was blocked the first (?) time, he said something on his talk page about being able to obtain more IP addresses and that is was futile to block him because he would keep coming back.

Shady Records

Hey man, before I explain the new subject I was gonna rant about how that Dutch Product of the South article is not encyclopedic or whatever, but sod it - I'm sure you know haha. Now to the point... I've come to notice that you've got a reasonably heavy presence with hip hop articles - do you know anyone that can look at the Shady Records one to give it some sorta assessment. I'm working to make it as GOOD as I can have it (whether it's FA, GA or another), but I need guidance as to what more can be done (which I'm certain it still has a fair bit to go to achieve). I can't find no record label article worth of looking up to for guidance, let alone a record label guide as you get with albums or biographies. I added the banner templates to the talk pages recently, and no one has assessed it as yet. What more can be done to get it looked into?

This project is dead. Two members are not active on Wikipedoa or are taking a wikibreak. About the others, they don't seem very active also.

Yea it's obviously inactive at the moment. You can put the {{inactive}} tag if you want (although a bot does it if no-one edits the page for a long time). Usually, it's better to build articles than build wikiprojects. Spellcast (talk) 08:11, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
This project should be removed. There is no such thing as "WikiProject for deletion"? I'm talking about nominating it for deletion or some kind.

I think WP:MfD is the place to go for deletion. But it's probably better to just tag with {{inactive}} or {{historical}} because more people might join and maybe someone would want to revive it later. And no, there's been no response at all about the pic. But Chamillionaire still has a new pic anyway. Spellcast (talk) 01:13, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Why would you keep something is not even active anymore? And let's say a member wish to join, he won't get that project all live and active.
I honestly think that the hip hop wiki-project is good enough to cover this. If later the West Coast hip hop gets more attention (which I doubt) a task force can be created. It's just stupid to think this project even exist. Tasc0 It's a zero! 02:08, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Yea the hip hop wikiproject is adequate enough. But I don't see the rush in deleting it. You can nominate it if you want but it's probably better to just tag it with {{historical}}. Spellcast (talk) 02:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
My point is that there are articles tagged with the project's banner. If the project is not active any more, shouldn't this be removed? I'm not trying to delete the page of the project. People will follow the link to the project and see it's not active. Tasc0 It's a zero! 03:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
Yea it's kind of unnecessary to keep categories and banners of an inactive project. Maybe if nothing happens for a month or so, you can take it to MfD. Spellcast (talk) 05:46, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Hip hop

There's been some scattered discussion about it, but it's never really been formally decided, AFAIK. Some publications do hyphenate it, some don't, so it doesn't really matter as long as it's consistent within Wikipedia. Personally, I don't think it should be hyphenated simply because the hyphen is a punctuation mark used in certain circumstances, none of which apply to hip hop. But anyway, it's just more of a description of the de facto Wikipedia house standard than a claim about the actual correctness of one way or the other. Tuf-Kat (talk) 06:43, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Poverty in India

Hi, can you please unprotect the page Poverty in India and delete an image which a mojority of users are embarrased with. An image of a beggar is present in the article and many users are opposing the image. Can you please unprotect the page. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

There is a consensus (not to tell how) to delete the image. So please unprotect the page. There were only five editors supporting inclusion of the image. Two were not actively participated in debate. One is now not involved, I am withdrawing, and the other will not be able to oppose this vast majority. So please unblock the page. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:26, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

I agrre there are solutions like third opinion. But you don't know this user Nikkul somethingorother. He had informed at least thiry user's about the vote there and now with overwhelming majority they gained the consensus to delete the image. One user is threatening to ban me if I don't delete the image. Now it is impossible to fight with this majority. I am withdrawing and so please unprotect the page. Dispute resolution or third opinion is not possible with this user. It is impoosible to engage with them in discussion, I am withdrawing from the circus there. There is no way except to remove the image. Please unprotect the page. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 14:55, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

deletion of Ironstone Vineyards

Hi,

I see you deleted Ironstone Vineyards. I think we should consider reinstating the page. (I haven't seen the original.)

Ironstone is the leading winery in the Sierra Foothills appellation in California.

It's location offers

  • the world's largest specimen of flake

gold at 44 lbs. (The second largest specimen is 5 lbs.)

  • gold mining exhibit
  • the Alhambra Theater organ installed

after removal from the Sacramento silent movie theater. (Search wikipedia for this.)

  • annual Concours de Elegance -- fourth

most important car show in the US each year

  • annual multi-county daffodil show and

competition

Ironstone is the 15th largest winery operation in the US. The article should include information on the brands, vineyards (4,500 acres -- a big operations), winery operations, etc.

Do you agree?

And your assertion, that a film or book is not a valid source, is not correct. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
If I were to upload the frame from that cartoon that shows "Eastern Onion", would that convince you that it's true? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:09, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Your assertions are false. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:10, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
If primary sources are no longer considered valid sources, most of wikipedia will have to be discarded. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
You've got it wrong. Published sources are verifiable. It's only "original research" if the source in question is unpublished. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:13, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's the flaw in your reasoning: If viewing the film and reporting on it are not allowed, then you have to find someone else who has written about it. An example would be to find a plot synopsis from Leonard Maltin's movie guide. But you can't publish as-is, because it would be plagiarism. So you'd have to "re-word" it. And as soon as you've put your own interpretation on his words... that's original research. By your definition, every article about every film or anything of a pop-culture nature has to be stricken from wikipedia. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:17, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Or maybe that's your ultimate intention anyway? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:19, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
And being "unsourced" is merely a smoke-screen. You've already made it clear you won't allow it, with or without a source you consider valid, because you consider it "irrelevant". That's your ultimate pre-emptive trump-card ... and a violation of the rules. Not liking something is insufficient cause for deleting something. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 06:24, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

I want you to tell me the "right way" to describe the plot of a film or book. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 07:43, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

You keep answering with generalities. I want you to tell me specifically how I should go about writing a plot summary for a film. I can't just copy what someone else says, because that's a copyright violation, forbidden by wikipedia rules. So what's the right way to do it? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 07:52, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
It goes to the larger issue of how to describe something that is verifiable by anyone that watches it. Years ago I was told by people here that "a film is its own source". Now it seems they have changed the rules. Even though the content of something is verifiable, that is not enough. Someone else has to have written about it. That is absurd. It would rub out virtually every book and film plot description in wikipedia. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 08:06, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

This is not about some minute bit of trivia, this is a much larger issue. Let's suppose I'm writing about a film and I want to list the tracks on its soundtrack CD. The most obvious thing to do is read the list from the CD and post it in the article. But according to your argument, I would have to find someone else who would list the tracks on the CD. Right? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 09:27, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

OK, if I understand correctly, as long as the CD track list is also published elsewhere, I could cite it. What if it's not? Also, it sounds like I could watch the film and write my own description of the plot, and that would be OK as long as that description also squares with some published source's description. Is that correct? Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 15:35, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
According to your interpretation, I can't cite the CD itself, but only something else that refers to it. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 07:08, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
No, this about way much more than this little bit of trivia. I'm saying the rules for what constitutes valid sources don't make practical sense, especially where pop culture is concerned. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 07:20, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
If you can't answer my questions about what's valid and what isn't, you might want to refocus your energies here. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 08:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
My point being, if you don't understand and/or can't explain the rules, then how can you properly enforce them? As an admin, the dilemmas I've posed to you ought to inspire you to ask someone "What about this?" You all are trying to apply the same scholastic rigor to pop culture as you are to, for example, brain surgery... and it doesn't work. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? 08:56, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I want to add that I appreciate you at least trying to answer my questions. I had a similar discussion with someone just last week, a "new" user who copped such a bad attitude that he was blocked permanently, in part also for being a sockpuppet. The discussion here started out the same way, and I thought, "Here we go again with someone else", but at least you're willing to talk about it, and I appreciate that very much.

-..Im not saying Gwen Stefani is a full on "indie" artist FFS! Im just saying that indie(/or alternative rock!) is influenced in a few of her songs.

Can I Have It Like That rename

Ah, a little confused here. I was under the impression that we had established that the "Like" should be capitalized as per official sources found for the song. Can I ask why you re-moved it? Sorry that this is so old; I completely lost track of this article. GlassCobra 11:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Normally I'm all for the MOS; however, as you noted, "like" is an iffy case. As I said last time around, we've already got stuff like Smells Like Teen Spirit and Head Like a Hole, so I'll go ahead and move it back. As for that interview, that was several months ago. My watchlist weighs in at a nice hefty 5,480 at the moment. :) GlassCobra 12:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:ALBUM

Hello. I have a question about WP:Album. About releases, it says, "Only the earliest known date that the album was released should be specified." Does that mean wait until the release date arrives to add it? I think it applies if the album were released multiple times, (like a 10th anniversary edition). I am asking this because I am engaged in a conflict on Here I Stand with User:Hello Control and we don't want to have an edit war. Admc2006 (talk) 15:45, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

User:ThomasKrevsky

Hi, Spellcast. I noticed you blocked ThomasKrevsky (talk · contribs) for 24 hours for repeated removal of a speedy-delete tag on an article he created. As User:C.Fred pointed out, the user isn't editing with malice; he's just making newbie errors. I think it would be more helpful to explain to him the process in this situation (i.e., put the "hold-on" tag and an explanation to contest the speedy-delete) than just template and block him. I'd rather not scare off a new editor who's just made some mistakes out of ignorance of the proper procedure. Will you unblock him? You can reply here, I'll see it. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 15:47, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi again, Spellcast. I noticed you unblocked ThomasKrevsky, and gave him some tips about editing here. Thanks for reconsidering. Regards, Parsecboy (talk) 16:00, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
Yes you're right. Those were likely good faith yet misguided edits, so I've unblocked him. Even though he was told he'd be blocked if he kept removing the tag, those templates do seem bitey in hindsight. Getting immediate warnings probably isn't the ideal way for a newbie to start off, but hopefully this doesn't discourage him. Spellcast (talk) 16:05, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

My request for bureaucratship

Dear Spellcast, thank you for taking part in my RfB. As you may know, it was not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to call me out. ~ Riana ⁂ 13:22, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Song genres

Isn't there a limit or something per the guidelines? I'm finding the genre box on Tupac Shakur to be a little too excessive. And I think other boxes, like the ones on Jennifer Lopez, have the same problem. Please reply on your talk page, Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 18:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Yea the template says to be general, but I think if the more specific genres are mentioned in the article, there's no need to put it in the infobox. The 2pac genres seem kind of excessive. Spellcast (talk) 14:30, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Should the editor's genre additions be undone? And what about J.Lo? I'd like to know if I was right before. Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:21, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
For 2pac, it's probably easier to just say "hip hop". But I wouldn't mind West Coast hip hop being added because he was an influential figure in that genre. At the moment, I'm not too familiar with 2pac's biography, so I'm not sure about the other genres. As for J-Lo, I think those 4 genres fine. You can bring it up at Talk:Jennifer Lopez is you disagree. Spellcast (talk) 19:59, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
How's this? Are they supposed to remain capitalized or lowercase BTW? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 20:47, 15 March 2008 (UTC)
Looks fine for now. Genres aren't usually capitalised unless it's a proper noun. So capitalising West Coast hip hop is right. Spellcast (talk) 20:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I think I'm noteworthy

You tagged me for speedy deletion.

In brief: My work has been produced or screened in North and South Americas, Africa, throughout Europe and in Australia. I've been reviewed in most major newspapers, including The New York Times.

First sentence in Reese Witherspoon article

Hi,

I've noticed that you reverted my edit concerning her Oscar win in the first sentence. Why not mention it? After all the Academy Award is the most prestigious film award worldwide and you simply can't compare it to the Razzie or MTV Movie Award or other "minor" awards. If you take a look at other articles about Oscar-winning actresses (Cate Blanchett, Diane Keaton, Sophia Loren, Julia Roberts, Shirley MacLaine, to name only a few) you will see that the Oscar is always mentioned in the first paragraph. So why not also mention it in this article?

By the way, I also put a comment on the talk page of the Reese Witherspoon article. At first, I didn't notice that you already had commented there (I started a new section), so I had to move my own comment to your section. That's why my comment adresses to all readers/users and not to you personally; I apologize for that! So if you like, we can carry on our discussion there, instead of on our own talk pages. Best regards. Dutzi (talk) 19:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

copyright problems

Hello, I've got a copyright problem and I hope you can help me. These two images I uploaded, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Darren_Mack.jpg and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Debra_Beasley.jpg are going to be deleted soon if I don't act quick. User:High on a tree notified me about what appeared to be wrong with images. I wrote on his/her talk page. I'm writing to you, because he hasn't responded yet and I'm bit puzzled about this situation. I don't fully disagree with him. Mack image actually has a valid source but Lafave image might not be "irreplacable" since she isn't deceased. Maybe the the image should be deleted after all. Maybe her image could be suitable if it had a different license. I just wish these images just will not be deleted, they show two notable individuals.

Yeah, I could fix this copyright problem in easier way, find answers elsewhere, but you're just some admin, and I'd like to get admin opinion about this, you guys are supposed to help. Thanks for your time. Reverend X (talk) 16:32, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Panagiotis 2007

I've known User:Panagiotis 2007 on wiki for about 4 months now and he has never made an edit that can believably be seen as vandalism. His favorite thing to do seems to be to update the sales figures on discographies and album pages. You blocked him from changing gwen stefani's The Sweet Escape numbers to 3.7 million when it says clearly and sourced that that is how many have been sold on the albums page. That source has been there since at least june of '07. Panagiotis did not stop when he recieved the warnings because he knew he was right. Sure he could have added sources, but im pretty sure he doesnt know how to do that. Grk1011 (talk) 19:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

There was no source for The Sweet Escape selling 3.7 million. The ref says 2.3 million as of May 2007. Panagiotis 2007 was given a final warning in February 2008 and continued adding unsourced figures. He was given about 7 clear warnings, all of which linked to WP:CITE. There's nothing wrong with changing sales, but he didn't give a reliable source each time. Spellcast (talk) 03:37, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, just to let you know. He was changing 2.3 to 3.7 on the discography page because 3.7 was sourced on the ALBUM'S page. Though he prob should have copied the ref from the other page over. Anyways, I told him to ask me if he needed any help with refs since he does get the numbers from somewhere. Grk1011 (talk) 19:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

An encyclopedia, or, traditionally, encyclopædia, is a comprehensive written compendium that contains information on all branches of knowledge or a particular branch of knowledge. Encyclopedias are divided up into articles with one article on each subject covered. The articles on subjects in an encyclopedia are usually accessed alphabetically by article name and can be contained in one volume or many volumes, depending on the amount of material included.

Thanks for uploading Image:Used love and death.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.

MedINRIA deletion

Hello,

I recently started about the software MedINRIA. As far as I understand, you deleted the page with "A7" reason. However, this wikipedia page refered to a software (not web), which seems not to be candidate for "A7". I agree with the fact that the description was pretty short, but very similar softwares have wikipedia webpages: 3DSlicer Brainvisa Osirix ...

May I ask you to reconsider your opinion, and/or let me resubmit it in a form that meets wikipedia content policies ?

Thank you,

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

You deleted this

Can you please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Its a PDF of a NEWSPAPER Article..how else can I cite it. I included the author's name, date, source, articles title. I mean what else do you want! Please help me. So Wikipedia does not allow PDF files of published newspapers as valid sources? Please show me what I need to do.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Carrt81 (talk • contribs)

Username block

I note that you wisely blocked "Hugedicks4life" for having an inappropriate username. Two questions: Were you going to post a message to that effect on his userpage, and what is the difference between a username block, which I was about to do, and a "hard" username block which you did? (Certainly a "hard" block seems appropriate for that username!) Thanks. Edison (talk) 14:05, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: CAT:TEMP

I've told a couple of other users previously, there's really no need for anyone to do any of this manually. There are a couple of tools that can find all the pages tagged and I use pywikipedia to quickly delete all of the ones that aren't using Template:Do not delete. Cheers. --MZMcBride (talk) 17:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Suspected User

I know i am raising the same point again, but i do get a feeling that User:Jamalar is another sockpuppet. The edits are mostly related to Gwen Stefani genres. Indianescence (talk) 18:02, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

SO damn true. You have any idea what's up with him (Drew)? Indianescence (talk) 08:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

A Question

Hi, I noticed that you were a admin who regulary edited hip hop articles and I was wondering if I could ask you something ? It's just that im trying to get The Chronic to featured status and on the candidate page a editor has asked about the reliability of some sources, I've gave reasons for most of them being reliable but i'm not sure about RapCentral, do you think this site is trustworthy enough ? - Guerilla In Tha Mist (talk) 13:31, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Recent block

Did you mean to block until November? Enigma message Review 18:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Yep, sure did. The IP has been doing the same vandalism since October 2007. I think it could be an open proxy. Spellcast (talk) 18:24, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Obviously I don't mind the block, because I was the one who reported the IP. Just was wondering about it. Thanks. By the way, you might want to archive your talk page again. Enigma message Review 20:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
It turns out it's not an open proxy, but I still would've done the block. Anyway, thanks for the report. Spellcast (talk) 20:47, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Tre Williams

Looks like you could use an archive, my friend. ;) Anyway, what do you think of the new Tre article? I spent a pretty decent portion of the day digging up sources to use. GlassCobra 22:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
