Hi Beamer, please take a look at this discussion. Cheers, JACOPLANE • 2008-11-16 13:33

Have a look through this diff and see if there's something out of place. :) If the image size is too much then that could have been corrected by itself; anyway, I've made adjustments to account for the style differences. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 22:34, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Merge proposal

Hey there. There's a discussion about merging Luna Lovegood in here. You might be interested. --LoЯd ۞pεth 00:08, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

In other media vs singular media appearances

Looking at FA articles they tend to keep those unified either under one header or as a subheader as a part of Cultural impact (i.e. Superman, Cortana, and a few others), with the media info summarizing the character's appearances. I really think that'd be better for the MK articles as the focus for material such as reception is based off their video game appearances primarily, so I put it back for a few of the article's as is. Do you have any solid reason for it to be otherwise?--Kung Fu Man (talk) 00:41, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the image issue, my bad (would have been easier just to point it out to me instead mind you). I was planning to put a DVD capture up, grabbed the wrong image but decided it looked fine and left the old fair use as I didn't think it an issue at that moment. The originally planned image got deleted as a result but I forgot to edit the fair use tags.

Though I have to ask...why instead of removing it didn't you just fix it or give me a shout to fix it? I readily would have done so.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 04:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh yeah, forgot about this. Since you're page says you're still working on MK: Annihilation, this may be of use to you: Article on the movie in Black Belt magazine I found while researching Reptile. Should be a doozy for citations.--Kung Fu Man (talk) 05:09, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Sock puppets

By the way, I think User:Southwestern_Seminary, User:Frank_Lea, and User:Tom Wilson Rich are all the same person based on their edit histories, writing styles, and agendas. --RandomHumanoid 22:04, 28 December 2008 (UTC)

Speedies

Please remember that when you nominate for speedy deletion (or prod) to say so on the edit summary. It helps us admins to find the appropriate edits when checking. Incidentally, a national organization like National Health council is probably notable, considering the sponsorship, and it would have been best to tag for cleanup, and notify the author to add some references. DGG (talk) 18:03, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

No problem. I am just wary of posters who open new accounts only to create articles, most of which are non-notable or blatant advertising, which more often than not has been the case. In regards to this subject, I am not familiar with said organization, so I apologize. sixtynine 02:26, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Ronaldo image

I disagree with that assertion. The current image in the infobox only shows Ronaldo from the side, while the new one shows him in a familiar stance from a full-frontal angle. What would you say is wrong with it? – PeeJay 17:34, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Anamika Choudhari

Hello Beemer69, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Anamika Choudhari - a page you tagged - because: The article makes a credible assertion of notability, sufficient to pass A7. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Closedmouth (talk) 10:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Removed speedy deletion tag: User:Thekidsfromroom508/The Kids From Room 508

Hi Beemer69! I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on User:Thekidsfromroom508/The Kids From Room 508- because: the page is not an article (i.e. mainspace page) nor a portal, so none of the CSD A1 to A9 apply If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

CSD noms

I'm not sure that the pages created by Hoklo9999 are vandalism. They're all legitimate Green Day singles – the unsuitable content comes in the original research provided by the "meaning" sections and the analysis of the music videos. These articles could all make suitable stubs; I don't see how these articles are "a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Misplaced Pages". Cheers. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 00:14, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I probably went a little whole hog, but the articles were tagged as such because of the inappropriate nonsense Hoklo9999 was adding to them, such as "The Phrase 'Fuck Off And Die' Is Sexual Harasment Like Saying 'Go Fuck Your Penis.' " He continued posting material like that despite warnings from myself and another user to stop, which constitutes vandalism. sixtynine 00:24, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

I agree with you, but can't help feel that this user has been somewhat bitten. Perhaps that's me assuming too much good faith, but it seems on the whole they've tried to create articles on legitimate Green Day songs – without realising our original research policy and guidelines on profanity. In terms of the articles, I've redirected or rewritten (wikified/stubbed) them where appropriate.

I must note that the warning given by Coffee was for a slightly different article (although named similarly, it contained no suitable content – clearly speedy deletable). I think it would be best to show the user what's wrong with the articles rather than going straight in with a block – after all, they've been registered less than a day and are unlikely to know how the whole thing works. Thanks for your input. Fribbulus Xax (talk) 00:33, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, they're undeniably vandalising now, ClueBot got it. There goes my friendly introduction... :) Fribbulus Xax (talk) 00:46, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedian of the Week

Happy editing!

Hey, it's me, another user who got his/her own day this past week. Congrats on besting me, I'm confident you deserve to. ;) Best, → Dylan620 (Toolbox Alpha, Beta) 02:11, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! It's been an unprecedented week of activity on here for me in general. sixtynine 02:16, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Simon pincini

Thanks for converting the CSD into {{db-attack}}. I didn't read it closely enough to realize it was an attack -- I just got that I couldn't get anything out of it :) Way to stay on your toes. --Mpdelbuono (talk) 06:56, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

I thought I was allowed to remove CSD templates if I didn't create the article? Theleftorium 19:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)
