Revision as of 21:20, 17 July 2007
| WELCOME! |
| Hello, and welcome to my talk page. I will be glad to discuss anything with you. Click here to start a new discussion. All threads older than 3 days will be archived. Have a great day. |
| NOTE |
| I have been deleting many images tagged for deletion. If it was a fair use image, before requesting that I restore it, please make sure that you had an extensive fair use description of why it should be allowed, or be prepared to give one, as fair use images cannot be used under blanket reasons such as "it's from a movie" or "it's the cover of a CD." This being said, I won't restore 90% of the images I deleted. Thanks.
Also, and I cannot stress this enough, if you do ask me to look at an image I deleted, please provide me with the image name. A quick look at my logs will show you that I cannot possibly remember all the images I deleted. If you can't provide me with that, then there's not much I can do for you, as I don't have the time to dig through my logs or the page histories to find it. Thanks again. |

Recent deletion of Category:Wikipedians who scuba dive
I have undone this recent deletion by your bot ^demon. I ask you to discuss this deletion at the category talk page.
Please undelete history of Image:Minimo WinCE.png
The screenshot became orphaned because it displayed an outdated version of the software. I have updated the image to display the latest version, and I also want all of its edit history restored. --tyomitch 18:50, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
Preserving old revisions of extant pages is required to comply with GFDL. Your reluctance to retain due attribution to the past contributors to the image description page is a violation of GFDL. --tyomitch 21:04, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
account
hi, do i have the right to delete this acccount? if i do, i wish to do so. I would appreciate if you could assist asap. thanks. ephix 23:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
Simplified sig
Hi ^demon. I saw the coding for your sig and tried to condense it. This should cut about 30 – 45 characters of code:
'''<font color="red">^</font>]'''<sup></font>]]</sup> <i style="font-size:10px;">{{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTTIME}}, {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTDAY}} {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{<includeonly>subst:</includeonly>CURRENTYEAR}} (UTC)</i>
Of course, it is entirely your decision if you want to make the change. :-) —« ANIMUM » 04:21, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- It saves character usage. :-) —« ANIMUM » 04:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Image deletion
I just realized that you deleted File:53logo.JPG. It was being used in the Fifth Third Field (Toledo) article. Could it please be reinstated? A logo is allowed to be used in this situation. See WP:LOGO. Thanks. hmwith talk 15:22, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
- If you disagree, please let me know. hmwith talk 14:58, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

You deleted this image on June 12th I believe. Can you please restore it as it is for a page of a band who i am aquainted with. i dont believe it has any copyright. thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by A Pink Blue Thing (talk • contribs).
Administrator abuse
Hello - the CSD policy for attack pages says "Pages that serve no purpose but to disparage their subject or some other entity (e.g., "John Q. Doe is an imbecile")." Can you explain to me how this is satisfied by Administrator abuse? Maybe it fits your definition of "attack page" but apparently not the policy's... personally I don't feel like I'm being attacked in any way by that article :-D ugen64 02:09, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Given that the page did not meet the literal terms of the CSD, and that there weree people strongly expressing policy-based views on each side, I think that an early clsoe here was not at all appropriate. Please re-open this discussion. DES 17:05, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Howdy. I'd like to mention that I thought you made a reasonable call. Usually on Misplaced Pages nobody says anything until they're biting your head off for making a mistake; I just wanted to thank you for a job well done. While Process Is Important, it's worth remembering that Process Isn't Everything. Our rules are a trellis, not a straitjacket—a framework to encourage responsible and orderly growth, not to strangle it.
- I'm always gobsmacked by the amount of time and effort spent to try to restore these three-sentence non-articles. Just tell A.Z. to write his essays in User: or Misplaced Pages: space, and move on. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 19:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Ah but this didn't purport to be an essay about Misplaced Pages, but an article about a phenomenon common to various on-line groups and communities. I am going to see if I can find some useful sources, and if I can I will recreate this, in article space. DES 20:47, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- That would certainly be a much better use of your time than having a pissing match on DRV, yes. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 20:53, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
