I have a problem: I am trying to create a wiki page for the french band Admiral's Arms (www.myspace.com/admiralsarms).
Anyways, jokes aside, welcome and have a great time here, Im looking forward to reading your articles.


They are huge in France and are going to be signed very shortly (negociations are underway). They have played with many Misplaced Pages worth bands, and their manager has his own page which is thouroughly complete (search: daniel davison).
] bless you!


It is frustrating as they are a big band, and cannot get their own page. Could you pelase help?

Hi there MGM...
Thanks for your message, and ] bless you!


You chimed in on the initial AfD on which dealt with the claim of being the first video blogger and excessive vandalism has brought it to the attention of the administrators, and it is up for deletion again. Since the initial AfD, I (the subject) was spotlighted on the GMA Network in the Philippines (links to video and webpage on the page) as well as been included in a book about video blogging (again, all links on the page). There have also been several more mentions online and radio interviews - and again, no one has disputed me being the first video blogger or even attempted a claim otherwise. However, the new AfD seems to again revolve around this claim. You had positive comments previously, and the events since the first AfD further cements your initial statements. I'd really appreciate you chiming in again as there are certainly differing opinions on what is deemed "verifiable" sources. One is actually using the argument that since the internet archives back in 2000 don't say "The Journey is the first video blog" that it can't be used as a source. The term video blog wasn't mainstream until 2004-2005, and certainly wasn't noteworthy until it became a movement. It doesn't make the first one any less notable. Anyway, please add in your two cents. There's more sources and proof on my claim then any page I can find involving blogs. Not sure why this is so hotly debated.
Sincerely yours,
'']''

== Survey on quality control policies ==
PPS: You really ought to archive your talk page; with long pages, ever time it's edited, we used a big chunk of disk space.


As part of a project funded by the European Commission (), we are collecting and analysing data to study '''quality control mechanisms and inclusion/deletion policies''' in Misplaced Pages. According to our records, you participated in a large number of AfD. We are currently soliciting editors with a long record of participation in AfD discussions to send us their feedback via a very informal survey.
: Yeah, MoE was blocked when the dust settled. The problem with checking the block log ''before'' is that there's a timing window failure mode. I.e. if the following sequence happens: i) A checks the log, ii) B checks the log, sees nothing, iii) A puts on a block, iv) B puts on a block, then you get a double block. That's why I always check ''after'' I put the block on, and that's when I noticed you'd beaten me to it by a few seconds. Ideally the MediaWiki software would notice the double block, and say something - if I get time I'll file a bug report. ] ] 01:24, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

Hi! I've been sort of holding the mediation line with a ] for a little while now.

That's the idea anyway. In reality some of our longer standing or open cases are indeed on the mediation cabal page, but often enough we just pick stuff up via irc/watchlist/rc patrol whatever, and solve problems upfront before things get worse. So most of our work never shows up on the wiki.

Hi, looking for a copy including ALL formatting and etc. etc. of the deleted page The Core Gamers.

I know that I have 19 Wing Comox BC that can be verified, and 14 Wing Greenwood, NS, and I have Comments about them in GottaCon's past and Dak-Kon's past as well that would; I would have thought; be enough references, however I don't have any newspaper articles or magazine articles about them yet. However it took me some 8 hours to do that entire write up and format it properly and get the references down properly so rather than have to start ALL OVER again I would greatly appreciate the original page with the formatting be emailed back to me if possible. If you could also tell me how I could keep the page about them up, I would greatly appreciate that as well.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be ].
==Houston Chronicle==
Thank you for offering mediation. If you think it can accomplish something then I won't object to your assistance. I remain dubious that Katefan0 will contribute productively to this process, having tried repeatedly to find grounds for agreement with her to little success. I believe I have been reasonably flexible to date in accomodating some of her requests and the requests of others, but the remaining issues that I outlined on the mediation page have seemingly come to a standstill.


You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ].
If it helps any for background on this dispute, my own perspective is one that is critical of the Houston Chronicle, though I've attempted at all stages to thoroughly source and document the critical material. Katefan by contrast has a very strong POV in favor of the Chronicle - she claims she used to be employed with them even - but unfortunately does not seem to recognize that she writes with a bias of her own. Hence she sees everything I do - no matter how thoroughly sourced it is - as "unfair" or "biased" and POV while everything she adds has the effect of making it "neutral" even though in fact most of her changes insert strong biases in the other direction.


Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the ], but other ]es exist. In particular, the ] process can result in deletion without discussion, and ] allows discussion to reach ] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> ''']'''<sup>]</sup> 20:14, 21 December 2012 (UTC)
The dispute to date has had a couple other participants as well. Based on his edits and comments on the discussion page, ] seems to favor my side of the argument over Katefan0's. ] tends to favor Katefan & was specifically recruited by her to lend favor to her arguments. She also recruited ] into the discussion, apparently knowing that I have sparred (albeit on mostly friendly terms) with him in the past on other articles. Given this it is also my belief that Willmcw has little genuine interest in the subject matter of this article (as well as virtually zero familiarity with any of the issues of contention) and is only attracted to it because of me. He has a bad habit of following myself and some other editors around wikipedia trying to cause trouble or undo additions we've made to various articles regardless of the subject. IOW, virtually every single time I've gotten into a conflict with another editor on wikipedia about an article's content on any issue whatsoever Willmcw's shown up in short order to espouse the side of the other guy. Normally he either misreads one of the existing sources on the article and changes the article to reflect his misreading, only to be corrected and concede the error, or he tries to make edits that make for awkward article texts such as removing acknowledged and self-evident facts, e.g. "the sky is blue," for want of a "source" (and then only a source of his liking) specifically stating that the sky is indeed blue. It's largely deconstructive and normally accomplishes nothing for the article that doesn't get restored in short order. In most of his edits on the Houston Chronicle, this seems to be another such case of what I just described. Anyway, that more or less summarizes things to date & if you have any questions or suggestions I'd be happy to hear them. Thanks. ] 22:25, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There is an interest for a wiki-page about Besam Yousef, not just from my own part. Besam Yousef is currently fighting in the UFC and it would be nice to have a page linked when the name comes up in terms about results, record etc on other pages.
And from what I'm concerned the page i wrote was legit, I don't know about the previous one but mine included all things other pages about MMA-fighters does, the facts were correct and I put in all the sources to the context.
So tell me, what can I do to make this page stay available if I will create it again, if possible?


And I've understand that you could send me a copy of my deleted page, but I got backup on all of it.
I've been poking about, learning more, editing here and there, having fun. However, I have three questions that remain unanswered. I'd appreciate any info you can provide.

Thanks for your comments at the FPC page on the Medal of Honor flag. I am writing to you since you provided mostly constructive criticism on my nomination of the image. I asked before if flag images could be nominated, and I got a response saying it could, but it will be tough. The user based it on a coat of arms image that failed to be featured. I thought I give my image a shot, and well, I know that I will lose this one. I will try better next time, unless the main objection is that it is just a drawing. If so, that is what is killing me. The image, though I drew it, technically is PD-USGov, since it is an image of a flag issued by the US Government. It was going to be used at two articles, but the Medal of Honor flag article was merged to the original Medal of Honor article. Plus, the image is at the Commons, so it clears that hurdle.

==Mediation request==
Hi Mgm, thanks for your note. I don't believe that mediation would be appropriate in this case (and I also thought there was no mediation committee at present). The editor seeking it is ], also editing as ], and ]. He's almost certainly Bill White, the subject of the vanity piece he created at ]. I haven't looked at the page today, and so I don't know whether he's reverted to his old version, but if you read the introduction of my last version, you'll see who he is. In brief, White is a far-right, anti-Semitic activist, associated with Stormfront and a number of other white-supremacist groups, and he wants to exercise editorial control over his WP entry. In particular, he wants to use the page as a repository for over 100 article titles he says are about him (though many are not); and he's linking to the WP article on his own website, calling the WP article "The Bill White Article Collection". He's being opposed by several editors on the page; the only one supporting him when I last checked was Sam Spade. The aim is to re-write the page so that it's fully sourced, which will take a couple of days. ] <sup><font color="Purple">]</font></sup> 21:28, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

::I saw this matter on ]'s page. I was the editor who first complained about the lack of sources for this extensive, detailed, and favorable biography. The response was 100 sources, most of which are newspaper mentions that not available via internet. This editor has been aggressive in dealing with editors who do not share his POV. In his short editing career he has issued numerous threats and complaints: on talk pages, VfDs, and on White's website. He has created a number of articles about associates of White's, which were initially unsourced and without indication of notability. When I nominated a few of them for VfD the editor in question responded immediately by attacking my motives. (He later added more information and sources, some of which appear to be unsupportive). All of which is to say that this is not just a two-editor dispute. If there is mediation as well then I would like to be a part of it. However this may be more of an "RfC" situation (which is what we've done for the article). It seems precipitous to call for mediation after only a couple of days of editing, just on the basis of an experienced editor removing an extraordinarily long list of references. Of course your involvement is welcome in any capacity. Cheers, -] 23:11, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)

:I'm somewhat agreeable to mediation with a couple caveats. I do not agree that the article should be closed from edits during mediation '''as long as'' 3RR violations and other "revert war" situations do not arise. Halting all edits entirely IMO constrains the use of the editing mechanism towards a working solution and restricts the debate to two stagnant previous versions. Furthermore, while I am open to outside or public participation in this dispute, I would prefer that it focus primarily upon the differences between myself and Katefan0 regarding the section in question. As I detailed to you previously, I have strong reasons to doubt the motives of certain participants in this particular dispute and believe that their immediate involvement would be generally deconstructive to any attempt at resolving the primary disputes between myself and Katefan.

***I disagree. Misplaced Pages already has policies such as 3RR to inhibit edit wars. If these are violated then a basis for halting changes may exist, but so far they have been followed. Furthermore, I am of the belief that halting edits will restrict the discussion to two previous stagnant versions of the text. Since Katefan0 is espousing a fairly absolutist position that her version should be substituted in full, halting the editing process could restrict our options and unduly advantage that substitution. ] 14:33, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
****That's what mediation is for. We can work toward a resolution in a talk page, modifying text until we both agree.

This seems imminently sensible to me. &middot; ]<sup>]</sup> 14:55, Jun 12, 2005 (UTC)
*****I don't object to developing a working version in the mediation page.

I, along with another user, have tried to talk him out of this, showing that Zanskar has no apparent or immediate problems in grammar, spelling, or style, and also that this editing spree of his might only introduce errors into the document, as his previous edits on the article have proven. We suggested that he make a draft of his version, but he refused, saying that he saw the need for a draft unnecessary, and proceeded to put up the cleanup tag on the article. Moreover, he has not listened to our requests, and now is accusing '''us''' of not listening to '''his''' requests. To give him time to understand the situation, I have broken off communication with him until he can comprehend the situation. Alas, it seems that he is also ready to participate in an edit war:

== Zanskar ==

Firstly, I am here to thank you for your page protection. While I am already very angry for Bell treating me like a dirt on his last comment on ], I would be very grateful if you can give me your attention to let me elaborate on my reasons:

Although technically there is no problem with the grammar, I am not satisfied with the styling in contrast to average Misplaced Pages articles in retrospect to ].

However, to my horror, they told me in "retaliation" by saying that it is perfect; so I ask if it is fit enough for Featured article candidate, but they did not respond. If you notice, much of the facts, didtantly related, are clumped into one, large, single paragraph which wasn't their style on copyediting ].

I have also suggested a draft; but on consideration a draft may not work well because I am doing content restructuring. Coming to the reason of why I said that "We have already come to a stage where you have to obey me, not the reverse in this article.", I need their co-opeeration to let me do whatever I like to the article for the time being, because as you can see, both parties; while JMBell has suggested that I should not edit; I objected; and we fought.

So, I came to this conclusion that I need their co-operation for them to listen to me; not the reverse; otherwise everything will get stalled up, and this is what happened.

Also, as you can see, Bell stated that "And if you don't want to start an edit war, don't revise anymore. Fair warning again.". To me, this is a way that Bell is trying to threaten-dictate me, and I do not like that, for I myself already know that we have reached a stage where things can only work where I need their attention. However, I stated "You want edit war? Go ahead."; "But if you do not co-operate, I have to indulge in an edit war, ...", for I do not want the article to be in such a state. I really want things to work as they are, so I have to reassert them mentally, for I realise that have been forced to the only way out.

MGM, I would appreciate that we can go through a person-to-person discussion concerning Zanskar. Thanks.

You better shut up, Bell, for I am not a doll which you can treat me or scold me in anyway you like. I am serious on the article, and I want a civil discussion.

] 11:41, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I am very happy and grateful at your attitude in contrast to the article. However, I would like to inquire how should I give you the list of edits that I would like to made, for I apologise I do not know how to do it. Or I suggest a draft which is less troublesome---but I do not trust it for the intereptation level is lower but more convinent, which is the source of our poor misunderstandings--I am sorry for my comprehensive skills are not very good.

Or I directly edit on the page itself, without interruptions within a scheduled period of time and that was what I proposed to do. But Bell and Mel misinterpreted it as me trying to take control of the article, firmly stating that my English skills three months ago proved to be very poor. But a person three months ago need not necessarily be the same as of today!

Also, I would be very happy if you can fix a scheduled dateline somewhere within a week from now, for I really needs this batch of time to sort things out.

:Now, now, that isn't very nice, you know. You could get banned for such language. And why do you think I'm treating you like a doll? Am I doing anything inconsiderate, because if I am, I am not at all aware of it. In fact, I have always made use of civility and good nature in my dealings with you, and now you're telling me this?

:And how did you ever come to the conclusion that I take this matter as a joke? How? I am and have given you perfectly reasonable and civilized answers, unlike you; your statements sometimes come very close to sounding like orders.

Hey Mac :)

creative work by an individual, yes, should be protected. if you take a look at the history of the page, you'll see the anon, which I presume is ], cited link as the copyright violation, which is a promotional dvd on sale for the King Rising Levitation trick. It seems to me that the anon is trying to make his sales not suffer. Unless, the anon IS Cory King, which the article cites as the original creator. Furthermore, the copyright law does not apply when someone, who has understood the mechanics of the subject in question, discloses or discusses those mechanics, ie, the copyright law is not a ].

Now, I understand that there's a fair amount of competition between illusionists and each illusionist is trying to keep his or her secrets, well, secret, but this is not a violation of copyright law, mostly because the original author does give credit to the man that created it.

Thanks for replying :)

: ] agrees with you :) So, let's close down wikipedia and let's all move to ], so we can have the privilledge of paying for editing their articles :D And while we're at it, let's conjure fireballs against the evils of ], because, you know, it's ] and ]! you know, there's this commercial operating system called ''Windows'' and we should all run it and we should all pay for the priviledge of running it because it's a recent commercial product that does a lot of magic - poorly. :). I'm not trying to be cynical here, I'm just just trying to show you the computer analogy.
: I deduct from your username that you are an illusionist yourself, or deal with magic trics one way or the other and trust me, I do sympathise, because I do know what it feels like when someone steals your work and presents it as his/hers. That's why I develop ] and not ]: No secrets, no worries, no bull like this to work with, open market and ] at its best.

==Magic trick==
I'm no expert at IP law, but here's my best shot:
*I find it unlikely that you could ''copyright'' a magic trick. "Methods" and "procedures" are the sorts of things covered by ''patents'' primarily. There are some possible exceptions to this: you can ] your very-individual personality if you are a celebrity (in a sense), and I bet you can claim copyright on certain types of performance art, but I don't know how strong the claim would be. Or, put more strictly in the way copyrights work: if you performed a trick, and somebody else watched you do it, and then goes on to perform the trick and their own show, could you sue them for infringement? ''Maybe'', but I'm doubting it would hold water. If you wrote it down, and then sued them for following your directions? Most definitely not.
*Could you patent a magic trick under U.S. IP law? It probably depends on the trick. You can patent business methods, you can even patent general concepts (there is a famous "bad patent" called "Method for swinging on a swing", which is a way to use a swing, a not very original one at that). If you called it, "Method for producing an illusion of X and Y", would it be too different from the fellow who (no doubt) patented the method of producing 3-D comic books by interspersing different layers of red and blue? I doubt it. If you called it, "A wonderful magic trick," I bet it would get rejected. A lot rides on the language.
*You'd have a much better time if it involved some sort of apparatus, I think. There are patents for magic tricks of this sort, such as for some sort of "vanishing effect" trick. Look at the way the "claims" are presented -- I can easily imagine something worded in this fashion for even a card trick. Of course, you'd have to prove that nobody else came up with it first ("]"), but assuming you've done your research that shouldn't be hard, if it is truly original and not too similar to other tricks.
*One could interpret most magic tricks of the past as having fallen under the domain of IP law known as ] -- which is to say, you don't get any monopoly on them, but you also never have to tell anybody how they are done! Filing a patent on a magic trick would require full disclosure of the trick.. and what's the fun in that? ;-)
*It is worth wondering how many magic tricks would be around today, though, if magicians had to wait 17 years before building on the trick of another -- would we have had Houdini if he had to pay royalties for his escape tricks? I'm not sure I think patenting magic tricks is necessarily the best way to "encourage innovation" in magic, which is the stated purpose of IP law.
Hope that is of some use to you in thinking about this. IP law is a murky area&mdash;most of it comes down to "what will hold up in court?" than it does any sort of rule-based ("what is allowed?") system. So I don't have a definite answer. It comes down to whether or not it would hold in court (could go either way, depends on how persuasive your lawyer is!), or whether the USPTO would grant the patent (which again is hard to predict, would depend on how you worded it most likely; they grant patents for some pretty silly things). --] 21:19, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi there MGM!

I have a problem: I am trying to create a wiki page for the french band Admiral's Arms (www.myspace.com/admiralsarms).

They are huge in France and are going to be signed very shortly (negociations are underway). They have played with many Misplaced Pages worth bands, and their manager has his own page which is thouroughly complete (search: daniel davison).

It is frustrating as they are a big band, and cannot get their own page. Could you pelase help?

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mahonda (talk • contribs) 15:04, 22 April 2009 (UTC)


Why did you delete the page: Dipesh. It did not fall under the criteria for the reasons that you stated it should be banned for. It is injust and should be resolved

M Jennings06 (talk) 13:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi there MGM...

You chimed in on the initial AfD on which dealt with the claim of being the first video blogger and excessive vandalism has brought it to the attention of the administrators, and it is up for deletion again. Since the initial AfD, I (the subject) was spotlighted on the GMA Network in the Philippines (links to video and webpage on the page) as well as been included in a book about video blogging (again, all links on the page). There have also been several more mentions online and radio interviews - and again, no one has disputed me being the first video blogger or even attempted a claim otherwise. However, the new AfD seems to again revolve around this claim. You had positive comments previously, and the events since the first AfD further cements your initial statements. I'd really appreciate you chiming in again as there are certainly differing opinions on what is deemed "verifiable" sources. One is actually using the argument that since the internet archives back in 2000 don't say "The Journey is the first video blog" that it can't be used as a source. The term video blog wasn't mainstream until 2004-2005, and certainly wasn't noteworthy until it became a movement. It doesn't make the first one any less notable. Anyway, please add in your two cents. There's more sources and proof on my claim then any page I can find involving blogs. Not sure why this is so hotly debated.

Macula risk page

MGM- Since someone has placed an arbitary block on the content of the Macula Risk page, how can I start creating a temporary page? Are you suggesting I use another day of work to build it from scratch? Who can place the Macula Risk page in some kind of 'static' pen so that I can take a look at what I had previously written?

I did not save my work in some kind of seperate file precisely because of the fact that once I was done, I could see what I had written, and had access to the source code on the page?

Also, if someone who is part of some kind of science editorial sub-board in wiki-land can please explain to me what elements of description of a genetic test and the different genetic markers in that test are the offending issue, that would be very much appreciated

I do not understand this police-state approach where someone is telling me I have done something wrong, and then proceeds to provide me all kind of unhelpful information, instead of just saying 'if you do this, then there are no problems'? The content I provided is unbiased and contains only references from academic publication.

Abuse Filter on the Article Feedback Tool

Hey there :). You're being contacted because you're an edit filter manager, At the moment, we're developing Version 5 of the Article Feedback Tool, which you may or may not have heard about. If you haven't; for the first time, this will involve a free-text box where readers can submit comments :). Obviously, there's going to be junk, and we want to minimise that junk. To do so, we're working the Abuse Filter into the tool.

For this to work, we need people to write and maintain filters. I'd be very grateful if you could take a look at the discussion here and the attached docs, and comment and contribute! Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) (talk) 18:22, 17 April 2012 (UTC)

Requesting unprotection of ZP Theart

Hello, MacGyverMagic. I am here to request the unprotection of the page ZP Theart, which has been protected since 2009 due to several editors "unredirecting" it despite the lack of individual notability. Well, now that he has left DragonForce and started his own project, I believe we can create a separated article for him (as briefly discussed here), but first I need to have that page unprotected. Would that be possible? Thanks, Victão Lopes 14:42, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

The Core Gamers

Hi, looking for a copy including ALL formatting and etc. etc. of the deleted page The Core Gamers. They are a national group that is in 3 sections of Canada; Vancouver Island, BC, Richmond, BC, and Greenwood, NS, however I guess I do not yet have enough outside references. I know that I have 19 Wing Comox BC that can be verified, and 14 Wing Greenwood, NS, and I have Comments about them in GottaCon's past and Dak-Kon's past as well that would; I would have thought; be enough references, however I don't have any newspaper articles or magazine articles about them yet. However it took me some 8 hours to do that entire write up and format it properly and get the references down properly so rather than have to start ALL OVER again I would greatly appreciate the original page with the formatting be emailed back to me if possible. If you could also tell me how I could keep the page about them up, I would greatly appreciate that as well.

Proposed deletion of Jack Moule

The article Jack Moule has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Received via OTRS 2012121610007472 from the page subject - reason supplied - The page is out of date, there are no reliable sources to specifically provide the correct information, It has been vandalised in the past. Also outside of Misplaced Pages I have received some abuse and bullying for having it there. As I

have now moved on and to not compete so this is irrelevant to me now.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Ronhjones  20:14, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

A commando nominated for deletion

Bjørn Sagvolden was created today. It has been nominated for speedy deletion. The article's talk page has a link to a previous discussion where you have asked a question. Has my article answered your question? --Barnstar candidate school (talk) 12:16, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Deletion of page 'Besam Yousef'.

I saw that admins have deleted the Besam Yousef-page that I re-created, I didn't accually know that one other page about the subject had been up before. I understand that it was deleted due to the fact that there's already been a similar page up that also was deleted. So what should I do? There is an interest for a wiki-page about Besam Yousef, not just from my own part. Besam Yousef is currently fighting in the UFC and it would be nice to have a page linked when the name comes up in terms about results, record etc on other pages. And from what I'm concerned the page i wrote was legit, I don't know about the previous one but mine included all things other pages about MMA-fighters does, the facts were correct and I put in all the sources to the context. So tell me, what can I do to make this page stay available if I will create it again, if possible?

And I've understand that you could send me a copy of my deleted page, but I got backup on all of it.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Try the new translation tool

Hello, I see that you're a translator. A new translation tool has been implemented and is ready for usage. Could you please try it by translating any page with Internet Explorer, and then report here on bugzilla if you find something wrong? We don't have many Internet Explorer testers, so your help would be very valuable. I also think that you'll enjoy translating with this tool. Thank you very much, Nemo 09:11, 10 April 2013 (UTC)

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Air Bud: Aussie Rules

I noticed that, about a decade ago, Air Bud: Aussie Rules was nominated for deletion, and that the final consensus was to have the article redirected to Air Bud. Given that no reliable sources have even alluded to the film being considered by the scriptwriters at all, it probably is best to have Air Bud: Aussie Rules listed at Redirects for Discussion. 76.126.49.152 (talk) 21:36, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
