[edit] Your e-mails

It's probably best if you don't contact me (or other users) by e-mail about issues which don't need to be discussed privately. Keeping the discussion on Wikipedia facilitates collaboration; you're more likely to get help if many people can read your query. Copyright questions should be discussed on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Anyway, to respond to your points, Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission should answer any questions you may have with respect to the wording of permission, how to obtain it, and from whom to obtain it. Please accept my apologies for not addressing your questions individually, but I don't have a lot of time. —Psychonaut 22:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I didn't intend to contact you personally, but I had not heard back from anyone after I posted my question. Thank you for your time though. I have posted under the questions page, and I will wait for an answer on there. -YeLLeY511 02:30, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Indefinitely blocked as a spam-only account

{{indef}}- NYC JD (make a motion) 17:13, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

The article you created was deleted under WP:CSD criterion G11 - purely promotional As to the images, Wikipedia has strict policies about copyrighted media that are too detailed for me to explain on one foot, but suffice it to say none of the dozens of photos you uploaded would have survived copyright review. I have consulted with another administrator, user:Jersyko, on your block, and he has agreed. You don't have a single non-brimstone-related contribution to your name.

I am not going to lift your block. Feel free to request "unblock" review by another administrator if you choose. - NYC JD (make a motion) 17:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry that you feel this way. The only reason I have not written any other articles is because I am a brand new user, and had not yet finished my first article. I had other articles that I wished to create as well, but have not gotten to it yet. I hope someone else will understand. Thank you for your time anyway. - YeLLeY511 18:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock

{{unblock|I am new to Wikipedia and was trying to create an article for a wrestler. My account has been blocked and I wanted to try and appeal this block. I did not mean for the "spamming". I was trying to upload pictures, and THEN choose which ones to use on the article. I did not mean it to be portrayed as spam. Now that I know, in the future, I would choose the pictures before uploading them. I also wanted to point out that I am NOT a paid promoter of Brimstone, nor have I ever been. I was just trying to create an article I felt would be of interest. Please let me know how we can resolve this matter. Thank you for your time. -[[User:YeLLeY511|YeLLeY511]] 18:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)}}

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

You are provisionally unblocked, provided that you do not make any edits or uploads relating to this wrestler before you create a neutral article about him that also indicates why he's notable by Wikipedia standards. In the event of any further spamming or copyright violations, you may be summarily and indefinitely reblocked. Do not remove this section from your talk page.

Request handled by: Sandstein 20:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for appealing the block. I will revise my article to better meet Wikipedia standards. In the mean time, is there something specific that I'm supposed to do to unblock my account, or is it automatically unblocked? - YeLLeY511 20:34, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
You are no longer blocked. You should be able to edit now; try logging out and back in again. If this doesn't work, try {{unblock-auto}}, as your IP may be rangeblocked or autoblocked. Sandstein 20:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock Auto Block

I was told that I am currently unblocked, but I still cannot edit. My User page still says I am a blocked user. Can someone please help me. -YeLLeY511 21:56, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I've fixed your user page. Please stand by until a technically experienced admin comes along. It's very strange that the unblock template shows you as editing from 127.0.0.1; this should not be possible. I'll drop a note on WP:ANI. Sandstein 22:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you again. I guess I can understand why both my user name and IP address were blocked, but I don't know why only the user name would be active after an unblock. I suppose I will find out when someone responds. Hope it wasn't too much of a bother. - YeLLeY511 22:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

((unblock-auto))

Try now. Autoblocks are a little more black voodoo magic than we like to admit, in my opinion. ;) – Luna Santin (talk) 01:03, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you!  :) -YeLLeY511 14:41, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Need help?

I saw that you posted in the new user log about needing help before and not knowing where to go. If you ever have a problem, or need an answer to a Wikipedia-related question, just add {{help}} {{helpme}} anywhere on this talk page, and you'll find someone able to answer your question within minutes. Hope this piece of advice helps! H4cksaw (talk) 09:25, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I definitely could have used this information  :) -YeLLeY511 15:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Oops, I'm so sorry, I didn't realise there were two {{help}} tags - I must have posted the wrong one for you. Glad you managed to work it out though. Sorry again, H4cksaw (talk) 08:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Question about my article

{{helpme}} "I originally wrote an article on here which was deleted because it not written in a neutral tone. The article was on a wrestler. I was then blocked indefinitely because one user felt I was a paid-promoter (which I'm not)(p.s. WP:BITE). I was unblocked and told to rewrite the article before re-posting it. I was wondering If I could put up the stats and finishing moves, while I take time to re-write the article, being that those items are purely informational. I am asking first, as not to risk being blocked again. Thanks." -YeLLeY511 16:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I haven't looked into the issue or seen the article, but it might be safer to write the entire article first in your userspace, and get someone like an admin to quickly check it out to see what if it's okay. Usually after people have been blocked under these circumstances, future blocks for the same reason are longer; and I'm sure yoi don't want to go and get blocked again ;-). Stick a {{helpme}} back again if you need anything else. — Deon555talkdesksign here! 04:24, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation Troubleshooting

I've noticed on some pages that you can reference a citation several times within the same article -but without listing it multiple times- and have seen how the reference section looks... but can't figure out how to do it myself. I've looked on many citation/reference pages, but still can't seem to get it. Can anyone help?
Thanks, YeLLeY511 04:39, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

The best way to do this is with the footnote method, explained at Wikipedia:Footnotes#Citing a footnote more than once --After Midnight 0001 04:47, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The answer

The answer is really quite simple.[1] There is nothing to it.[2] Nothing at all.[1]

[edit] The code

The answer is really quite simple.<ref name='foo'>This is the first reference</ref>  
There is nothing to it.<ref>this is the other</ref>  
Nothing at all.<ref name='foo'/>

[edit] references

  1. ^ a b This is the first reference
  2. ^ this is the other

Hope this helps. --Selket Talk 04:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Monsta Mack

  • I did write the original revision, though other users have expanded on it. MarcK 07:17, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
    • No, sorry. I'm really only familiar with what he did in ROH. MarcK 15:34, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not sure what to do

An article I had written has been put up under AfD for notability, and I was unsure what I am supposed to do with it. I see that people appear to be voting to keep the page, and I read the wiki article, but was wondering what I do now. Do I just wait until the voting is finished? If someone could give me an idea that'd be great! Thanks, YeLLeY511 14:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Well, if you go on the page and follow the link to the articles AfD entry then you can if you alrady haven't, voice your opinion but say in your comment as creator or something similar, thats all you can do really. I'm not saying you have and I'm sure you wont but remember not remove the AfD notice, hope this helps! Tellyaddict 14:59, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
(edit conflict) When the discussion period is over, an administrator will either delete the article or remove the AfD tag, depending on the balance of opinions in the AfD itself. (Note that AfD is not a vote, in that if the opinions on one side of the debate are more reasoned than on the other, or if reasons on one side are ignoring policy, the AfD can be closed with a result different than that of a strict vote-count, although this doesn't happen too often.) You don't have to do anything further; just wait for the five-day discussion period to end. Note that you are allowed to participate in the AfD to give your opinion or to explain the matter further if you wish (mention that you created the page if you do this), but you don't have to. Hope that helps! --ais523 15:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you both for your help. --YeLLeY511 15:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)


[edit] Goriconoclasm

The Goriconoclasm does end in a sitout, as displayed by the move its a variation of the Iconoclasm. The reason the move doesn't list sitout was due to an oversight in the listing, not because they are different moves. –– Lid(Talk) 04:16, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

In addition the addition of a pin to the end of the move does not make the move a completely different manuvre, just as a sitout powerbomb into a pin is not classified a different move from a sitout powerbomb with no pin. –– Lid(Talk) 03:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
