Potenza

GRRRR! Why don't you check things before revert edits for which I spent 2 hours of fatigue? The situation is: Potenza (PZ) now redirects to Potenza article, which has been renewed with a new infobox and relevant info I have created a Potenza (disambiguation) page for other cities named Potenza. Attilios.

You had blanked it, so I pressed the rollback button. It rollbacked all the way to Jrwhatever, unfortunately Sceptre 13:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Canada Payphone Corporation

Excuse me, I am not sure what you just deleted the information on Canada Payphone Corporation for, but please put it back thank you. Mme. Lebrun (15:17, 7 April 2006)

Check the criteria for speedy deletion, and the notability guidelines for companies :) Sceptre 14:19, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

thanks for the support

Hi Sceptre- thanks a lot for your support on my recent, (barely) successful rfa. Please feel free to leave me any comments or criticisms on my talk page! --He:ah? 22:56, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Abdullah Öcalan

Hi, could you tell me why you reverted my edit on Abdullah Öcalan. Btw its me,i forgot to sign in. (Metb82 10:28, 8 April 2006 (UTC))

Drainage Basin

Thanks for moving the page, but I am confused about the capital "B" in basin. Cheers, Daniel Collins 13:29, 8 April 2006 (UTC).

This has been fixed for the main article (thanks!), but the capital B still seems to be a problem with Talk:Drainage Basin. -- Avenue 13:53, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Seems the Watershed disambiguation page now has 600+ pages linking to it - not a good situation. The responsibility for fixing all those usually falls on the person who made the page rename/move. Enjoy! Vsmith 14:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for all the hours of work you spent sorting this out. -- Avenue 10:56, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you - that's a huge amount of work you've done. CarolGray 17:24, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Saw III

Before you carelessly revert back 81.99.182.121's edits again, let me tell you that his work is vandalism and false information. Thank you.--CyberGhostface 15:45, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal/Cases/2006-03-25 Template:Infobox shopping center

Hi. Your mediation had not worked a little. User:Madchester does not accept your recommendation. And furthermore, he reverted my edit at Galleria Ataköy, which had nothing to do with his infobox, in away that the valuable content is destroyed. It is nothing else than vandalism. Can you do something or I have to apply elsewhere?. Thanks. CeeGee 07:39, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. See what is told in my User talk: ===April 9 disruption warning=== Please use the existing infobox template for shopping centers, instead of using your own inline box. This is your second warning for creating a personalized template to go against the norm. Disrupting Misplaced Pages to make a point is not tolerated and can warrant a block per WP: Blocking policy - Disrpution. Thanks. --Madchester 08:49, 9 April 2006 (UTC) Is it really so? Please advise. Thanks.CeeGee 17:27, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

There's a fine line between disruption and just using a template. Have you tried to get consensus for the boxes? Sceptre 10:00, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

If you have time to follow the related talk pages you will realize that. However, not after I applied for mediation. Because, you recommended that my infobox is much more comprehensive. I expected that you would advise him your recommendation. If you would have asked me to do that I could try it at least once. What I did was to avoid using his insufficient infobox, which after his reverting my articles did not even show the basic information. So, I inserted an inline infobox, which was promptly reverted by him. Furthermore, he threatened me for blocking. Question: Isn't it allowed to use any inline infobox? Is everyone obliged to use infoboxes existing, even they are not appropriate for some cases? Has an administrator the license to revert everything he doesn't like? Wanted just to know. Please check also his talk page fully. Maybe you can discover some useful info. Kindly give me advise what I should do now in this case. Thanks for all. CeeGee 17:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Doubly closed AfD's

Hi Sceptre, you recently closed two AfD's that I had already closed: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Naughty chair and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rake and trail. Or at least I think I closed them properly already. Did I do anything wrong (quite possibly, my first week as an admin) or are you using some magic AfD closer scripts and didn't check that these AfD's were closed already? Kusma (討論) 16:39, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I was using the CloseAFD script Sceptre 09:58, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Selective deletion

I am about to delete from your user and talk pages those edits with obscene edit summaries that libel Xtra, per Misplaced Pages's libel policy. Snottygobble 05:15, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

All done. Snottygobble 05:17, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

On a completely unrelated note, I like this policy. — nathanrdotcom 07:23, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Relisting

Hey Sceptre. When you relist an AFD subpage for further discussion, please could you ensure that you remove the AFD subpage from the listings for its original date? See Misplaced Pages:Deletion process for information on how to relist an article. An example of the consequence of not doing this is an AFD that was still listed in April 3 being closed (by me) that was relisted (by you), yesterday (Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Haterhouse). Did you use a script to relist the AFD? Proto||type 10:34, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I actually asked on IRC last night what I should do with them. Will do from now on. Yes, I used a script Sceptre 10:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

AfD

Hi, I am just curious to know what you considered as the final tally in Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Rick_Eyre . There were four keeps ( myself, Monicasdude, Kukini and Gurubrahma), seven deletes by regular editors (RGTraynor, Brian Crawford, Terence Ong, JIP, Isotope, Eusebeus, Khoikhoi), one weak delete (Sandstein) and five deletes by first time voters and ips. Did you consider them all ? Tintin (talk) 11:27, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. I wouldn't have bothered about the deletion had it been nominated by an editor of good standing because IMO, as mentioned in the Afd, it is a borderline case. This page originated as an attack page under the name Wick Eyre, myself and Gurubrahma cleaned it up (the original discussion here). I wouldn't be surprised if the guys who nominated it for deletion are the same people who created the mock page. Tintin (talk) 11:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

No complaints this time. Tintin (talk) 02:55, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

List of people who have had plastic surgery

OK, now you've deleted the above article as an uncontested prod deletion, despite the article having the prod tag removed hours before. I've restored the article, which is currently at AFD. Could you make sure to check the articles you delete before actually deleting them, please? Did you use the same script as before - it may be that the script is at fault.

Deletion of Florencetime

This article had been a subsection of the Hexadecimal time article. I moved it out to its own article as it seemed to have more to do with the particular system than the concept of hexadecimal time. The same could be said, for that matter, of much of the remaining article, which centers mainly on the "Intuitor" system. If this were similarly removed to its own article, there would be very little left under "hexadecimal time", but perhaps there's just not that much to be said about the concept per se.

In any case, I created Florencetime in order to re-organize an existing article, not in an attempt to inject new material. I would think that if the Florencetime material were acceptable under "hexadecimal time", it would also be acceptable on its own. -Dmh 16:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Restore provisionally Sceptre 17:35, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Page move request

Could you move The Return of Chef (South Park) back to its original location? I saw that you had moved back some of the other SP articles back to their original locations. This is one of the (few) times that I wish I had those mystical admin powers... :-P – Swid 16:57, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Nice joke

thanks for the vandalism. ILovEPlankton 18:56, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Reverts to my edits

Hi. I noticed that you reverted some of my edits, in a highly disputed topic that I participate in. Suprisingly you reverted my changes to the changes the other party's version (which is highly nationalistic and anti-wikipedian). I was wondering on what grounds did you like their version more. I thought an administrator is supposed to be neutral, not revert one side's changes, and favor the other side. Thank you, Ilir pz 21:50, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Uh-oh. You reverted to The Wrong Version, didn't you? :) Proto||type 22:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Hipi Zhdripi has been breaking his 3RR 24h ban. See here, here, here and here. Please, let me know if you can do anything about it. Regards, Asterion 00:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage - that was a very quick revert indeed :) -- Ferkelparade π 12:43, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

what in the hell are you talking about?--IworkforNASA 15:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Specky is stupid

You shouldn't really post attacks in the deletion reason. Good work, though! Sceptre 15:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I didn't post it deliberately, the field was automatically filled as the deletion page came up. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  15:39, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Dont you mean Automagically? Sceptre 15:41, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Fake barn stars

Can you please confirm if you awarded User:The_Man's_Plans any barn stars. It is strongly suspected that he is misrepresenting himself.

Nope. I haven't awarded a barnstar in months Sceptre 16:23, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
