On vacation until August 11th at the earliest. I have asked a number of administrators to watch over my talkpage and field inquiries, so please leave your questions here. If your concerns haven't been attended to in a reasonable amount of time, please contact either Daniel or Rjd0060, both of whom can also help you with OTRS stuff. east.718 at 00:09, July 18, 2008

I see you won't respond to this, but I'll notify you anyhow.

• Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Shalom Yechiel

Please respond to an RFC I have filed about my conduct. Please evaluate my responses to false statements about me during my recent RFA. Yechiel (Shalom) 01:26, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Please help!

I do not know the protocol for successfully posting an image. I did my best to follow what seems to be a complicated procedure. Can you please offer me some suggestion as to what would fulfill requirements to post Image:Usfa-gunslinger-sm.jpg Newportm (talk) 18:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

• Comment: Ahhhh! Never mind! I see that you deleted Image:Usfa-gunslinger sm.jpg, not the one I need, which is Image:Usfa-gunslinger-sm.jpg. Thanks! Newportm (talk) 18:24, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

trying to post a new article about Tamera

My name is Stephen Davis (http://www.reviewingaids.com/awiki/index.php/Stephen_Davis), former Arizona state senator and now author and freelance writer. I am visiting an intentional community called Tamera in Portugal and want to post a Wiki article about this place. However, I have discovered that someone else posted a page which you deleted in February (which I have not seen), and I am having trouble posting a new article from scratch. Please advise. Thank you.

Rlevse RfA question

Hi, just a quick question about what you added to Rlevse's RfA - it seems to me that some diff links to the specific points in DHMO's RfA that you're asking about would be a good idea to make the question easier for people to navigate. Did you not put them in because you didn't have time or you're editing from a phone or something, or is there some Wikiquette reason I'm missing that they were omitted, perhaps because of the fact that RfA's blanked? I'd be happy to add them if it's the former, just wanted to make sure. ~ mazca 17:27, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Question

Hello, it appears you deleted the original image I posted on wikipedia - biogas pipes. I wanted to know why? its a good quality image that I took personally and it looks good on the anaerobic digestion page--Alex Marshall (talk) 15:01, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Rfb question

I've posted my answer to your remaining question. Sorry it took so long, but it's been a crazy week for me as you can imagine. — Rlevse • Talk • 09:12, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

RfB Thank You spam

Thank you for participating in my RfB! I am very grateful for the confidence of the community shown at my RfB, which passed by a count of 154/7/2 (95.65%). I have read every word of the RfB and taken it all to heart. I truly appreciate everyone's input: supports, opposes, neutrals, and comments. Of course, I plan to conduct my cratship in service of the community. If you have any advice, questions, concerns, or need help, please let me know. Again, Thanks! — Rlevse • Talk • 08:48, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:Acadian Ambulance Service Logo.png

Please restore Image:Acadian Ambulance Service Logo.png and add {{logo fur}} to it. Thank you. I didn't know that it was going to be deleted until after it had been deleted. Thank you. The image belongs in Acadian Ambulance. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 01:14, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

I undeleted and FUR'd it. MBisanz 14:59, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Article idea for Diplomatic missions in Houston

After reading Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of foreign consulates in Oklahoma City, I would like some advice. I want to start an article about the diplomatic missions in Houston that lists consulate generals and their equivalents (Taipei TECO), but does NOT list honorary consulates. What else should I add to this article in order to make it worthy of Misplaced Pages? Surely someone wrote a history of diplomatic missions in Houston somewhere.

I might start it soon, but it would not strictly be a list. It would also contain general information too. WhisperToMe (talk) 14:57, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

My IP Address is Blocked

Why is my IP address blocked from editing? Benbenbenben (talk) 02:47, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

User:Mitrebox/AdultSwim

Back in February you blocked User:Mitrebox with the summary "until assurances are made that malicious bots will not be used". Mitrebox, frustrated with the situation, evaded his block with some additional accounts. The latest account, User:AdultSwim, is asking that this block be reviewed. See WP:AN#AdultSwim is asking for a review of his block. His socking has been to evade blocks, and never to support himself in a discussion or to edit war. The indef. blocks he's received were given simply because he was blocked as Mitrebox. I think it would help the situation if you could review the original block, see if Mitrebox/AdultSwim/Lemmey have given you enough assurance regarding malicious bots. This original block is pretty much the only reason he's blocked now. -- Ned Scott 06:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Ned, and sorry for taking so long to get back to you, but I'm on break. I do think Mitrebox should be unblocked for a variety of reasons, but I also think that the community is rightfully a little raw over the constant block evasion. If Mitrebox can stay away for a couple weeks, I'll be willing to campaign for an unblock. - east 91.198.174.201 (talk) 04:23, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Images on common

I saw that you delete 'Image:LGen Andrew McNaughton, 1942.jpg' from english wikipedia because image was on commons. I import this image on commons because the license allow it and I have to use it on my french traductions. Could you please delete 'Image:H.D.G. Crerar.jpg' and 'Image:General Guy G Simonds.jpg' from english wikipedia for same reasons. If you could not do it, please explain what I have to do to delete it. How can I delete images imported to commons by myself? Thanks for your answers. --Beepertemp (talk) 00:40, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

71.107 unblocks

Those are all IPs used by banned User:JarlaxleArtemis a/k/a Grawp. He acknowleged that the 0/18 range was his range here (look at the link and remove the Q, since the site is blacklisted. Judging from the contributions, the separate IPs have never been used by anyone but Jarl/Grawp (I did get *one* email from a blocked registered user, and promptly unblocked him). Immediately after you unblocked the ranges, we started getting tons of Grawp pagemoves (check the move log for August 4). I would like to reprotect these IPs unless you can give me a really good reason not to. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 03:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey, Nawlin. That /18 range is currently hardblocked as part of an even bigger range (71.107.128.0/17). I've also title-blacklisted all the user talk pages in that range to prevent the edit summary vandalism that Grawp was using to trick administators into softblocking individual IPsion that range (which he'd then use accouts from). Also, those other 71.107 and 71.108 IPs you've been blocking aren't static: they're actually part of a very dynamic Verizon DSL range for SoCal. I hope you don't mind the lack of discussion on my part, but I know you are very busy administrator, and didn't want to bother you with the nuances of network engineering. :) - east 91.198.174.201 (talk) 04:15, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Looks like you've got it under control. Thanks! NawlinWiki (talk) 04:20, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

718smiley.png

Was this based on something or is it 100% original? Because I see this smiley or one very much like it everywhere now. http://images.icanhascheezburger.com/imagestore/2008/7/24/d87abb00-2532-4a86-86ee-91380f6d01c1.jpg for example. --Random832 (contribs) 14:17, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
