Tagging of Main page screenshots as orphans

I noticed that your bot removed the "orphan" tag from some images like Image:Netscape47.png, Image:MainPage-Netscape3win-brion.png, Image:MainPage-Netscape4winfixed-brion.png. However, my image Image:Main-Page-netscape4.79-redhat-linux-7.3-paddu.png got deleted being considered an orphan. Do you feel all these images should be treated similarly? Thanks! -- Paddu 11:18, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

All of these were/are in use at only Misplaced Pages:Main Page/Screenshots and nowhere else, including my screenshot. -- Paddu 23:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

User:Whstchy

Hi demon

I really need some mediation. I admit I am new to Misplaced Pages, and maybe I'v made mistakes, but so far I have written half a dozen articles, which have been accepted as valid. My problem is that another user, User:Whstchy, keeps putting my articles for speedy deletion, or AfD of CSD , even though this has been disagreed with by other editors who have taken his tags off. I am feeling that this is turning personal, and is becoming some sort of crusade against me by this lad.

He is damaging my articles and the reputation of Misplaced Pages with his attitude.

See

E G Bowen Glenn A Christodoulou E J Boys

as just three examples. He has also canvassed an editor to delete one of my pages when no one else responded to his tag.

Thanks

RfM for Valencia (autonomous community)

I see that you're actually Chair of MedCom these days—belated congratulations, I don't usually follow such things too closely! I am trying to locate an old (failed) RfM for Valencia (autonomous community): it was filed on or around 2007-04-28, but seems to have disappeared without trace... Thanks for your help, Physchim62 (talk) 09:14, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Max Martin

Hi, I'm still very confused about the policies in relations to the images of living person. When I first uploaded the picture of Max Martin on his biography page, I was rather unsure about whether if I could use it or not, so I assume that we cannot use it because it got deleted. I was wondering if you can explain to me what images can get posted and what cannot. They particular photo was from his own studio's website, so it's probably copyrighted. Thanks!

User page for GearedBull

Hi ^demon. Any hints on why your deleted my user page are most welcome. Thanks! Jim CApitol3 19:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Thanks for setting me straight, would it be possible to restore the history if I promise to be a very good boy and not repost? CApitol3 19:23, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Hi, there was additional maerial there in the history, and beneath the Montzoar article that I would like to recover. Or could you advise if this simply unrecoverable?CApitol3 19:49, 30 May 2007 (UTC) Thank you. CApitol3 20:19, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Blue Prism

Hi. I noticed that you speedy deleted Blue Prism. I have no interest in the article, and only noticed it while skimming AfD and noticing that Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Blue Prism contained a red link heading despite a reasonably significant number of "keep" votes. I thought perhaps you were unaware of this, and just thought I'd mention it. Thanks. --Maxamegalon2000 05:12, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. It looks like a strange AfD; the nomination appears to have gone a month without being added to the listing. --Maxamegalon2000 14:35, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Restore Secure Computing Corporation

I do not understand why you deleted the page belonging to Secure Computing Corporation. I was one of several contributors. Was it vandalized by the company itself? If so, then it would have been fine to revert to the community-developed content. This is a nontrivial company that has done important work in the past.

Secure Computing

I've posted something to another administrator as you requested. No doubt there are lots of people around here who work like I do - dropping in every few weeks or months to look at things. I would like to know how long the Secure Computing entry was marked as 'spam' since I didn't remember seeing such a thing. In any case, I think deletion of something that's been the work of a lot of separate people (and I doubt any of us work for the vendor) isn't at all appropriate. Better to fix it than to eliminate it entirely. Cryptosmith (Rick Smith) 22:51, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

DRV closure

Ahoy, hope you don't mind, but I fixed the amount of deleted archives in your closure. Thanks. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 00:05, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Cloverleafing delete

I noticed that you deleted the Cloverleafing article, is there anyway that I can get the content from that page as I really need it. Flood of SYNs 00:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

BJAODN deletion

I am requesting the edit histories of the deleted subpages of BJAODN, as well as the deleted subpages themselves. — Rickyrab | Talk 00:40, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
