Removing Mesut-kurtis.jpg

Has the "fair use" policy changed a lot in the recent months? Does this picture not fall under "fair use"? User:Waqas.usman (Talk) 21:40, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Ahh an engineer

I see you're the one responsible for that new redirect. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 09:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

That almost suggests that I come up there. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 09:10, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Excellent, thanx. 68.39.174.238 (talk) 08:00, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm sure you meant well...

...when you protect an apparent sockpuppet page - except that the user in question is not a sockpuppet of mine. Please do a checkuser if you want to clarify this. My edit to the checkuser archive was an oversight on my part - yes... I did not see the red italics. Sfacets 11:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Bot stuff

Worth adding ".*?\/index\.php" to MediaWiki:Titleblacklist? Might help for a bit - cheers --Herby 12:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ampang Line (Sentul Timur-Sri Petaling)

The Ampang Line (Sentul Timur-Sri Petaling) article was deleted just a few days ago under your justification that the page was merely a dead-end redirect, but the page was originally a sub-article of Ampang Line, accompanying Ampang Line (Sentul Timur-Ampang). I have no idea how it ended up like this, nor could I find the article anywhere else. It would be very helpful if you could look into the page's history again to verify what happened to the article and restore it if possible, as it basically involved the deletion of an entire article on a transit line. Thanks. - Two hundred percent (talk) 13:57, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Apparently I overlooked the adjoining categories myself. Sorry for troubling you. :) - Two hundred percent (talk) 14:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Copacabana

Hi, I just saw you edited the article Copacabana, and I take the opportunity to kindly ask you to check on Hu12's actions in that article, which I reported in the Administrators noticeboard... I feel that the way he has handled the whole affair was really unfair, and prejudicial to Misplaced Pages. Not only he has blocked the article in an authoritarian way, he neglected to correct all the mistakes in that page before blocking it, leaving the page in a sorry state. Thanks.Rsazevedo (talk) 15:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop forum shopping, see Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Copacabana--Hu12 (talk) 16:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Reverted

here. —Whig (talk) 17:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I disagree. I already took his comment into consideration in my edit, and marked it as such in my edit summary. —Whig (talk) 18:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Apparently Adam is suffering the effects of some kind of flu, and has left a comment in my talk disregarding the fact that I twice asked him to respond in Talk:Quackery#WP:RSN where I have explained already the reason I reversed the order of the two sentences. Since he disregards what I said, and tells me to take it up with Orangemarlin when he's the one who last reverted me, I am not sure what to do. I cannot revert him but he has given no reason for his revert except he prefers it this way. —Whig (talk) 23:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for tackling the editor I posted about on WP/ANI re legal threats on Oxford Round Table. By the way, I love that smiley face on your user page! Coldmachine 18:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Removal of wowglider page

Hi East718,

I hope you can help me. I noticed that you removed a page that has great importance to our company: wowglider We did not create this page, but it is very accurate and a solid submission. I think the reason was a dead link, but the URL does work. The page is relevant to our company and important to the MMORPG Industry and Software Development in general as we are in a rather large lawsuit with Blizzard Entertainment/Vivendi. Can you restore this page and/or tell me what was missing link wise so we can fix it? Best Regards, JBeatty —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hamut (talk • contribs) 18:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

bwk news channel

I notice that the Brunswick News Channel page was delete. Please let me know what I need to do to have the page un-delete.

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.187.56.128 (talk) 20:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I didn't delete that page, but two other administrators, Keilana and Pegasus did. You should try to get in touch with them first. east.718 at 04:08, January 4, 2008

Can you explain your block? --Rschen7754 (T C) 22:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Seconding the need for explanation. Metros (talk) 22:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Oh hai thar dude. :) I think I know what happened (encountered that problem myself in the past), but I'll give you a while to figure that on your own. :D (Hint: it's something to do with how the IRC rc bot reports usernames created by others.) Миша13 22:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah! Got it :) East718 saw the "bot" in the name on the IRC report. clicked on the creator (you!), hence the block. The IRC bot may well be displaying the second account name yet having a link to the creator's account. Am I right? - Alison 22:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC) (doesn't do IRC bots)

Not quite, and the longer East718 remains inactive (save the block and a message) the more probable my suspicions are. Ok, let me explain - the bot that report edits in the irc.wikimedia.org channels behaves differently depending on whether a user is created casually or by another user. If it's a regular creation, the username is put in a field, let's call it 'editor'. So, if one were to run an adminbot (zomg!) that automatically blocks certain usernames like those containing, say 'wikinews', he would just get the field 'editor' and block that username. If however a logged-in user creates a username, then he (and not the created username) is put in the 'editor' field. The actual created username should be extracted from a field I call 'summary', which takes the form 'created new account ...'. How do I know all that? Well, I've been running a blockbot myself (zomg, again!) and it likewise blocked a fellow admin right after he created a test username. This is how I have discovered this "bug" - perhaps East is using an old fork of that software (it's open source). Or maybe all this ain't true and it was all just a slipped button. :P Ok, I'm going to bed now, anxiously awaiting how this resolves (and whether I suspected correctly). Миша13 23:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I don't think that explains the insta-block, or the hardblock. FYI East there's a thread about this at ANI. -- zzuuzz 22:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Deleting Page!

I noticed you have deleted the Sevii Island page (your name was at the deletion log). I have used that page as one of the most used page since I needed help with the game. Luckily I did it so I don't care but I ask why did you delete the page? Signed: Write me (Jan 3 08). —Preceding unsigned comment added by Write me (talk • contribs) 02:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, done. Voice-of-All 06:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

User talk:Leventorous

Thanks for your attention there. Just one thing: Your talk page tag says she can request an unblock by posting to her talk page, but the page is protected. You may want to replace that tag with something else. Just letting you know :) Equazcion •✗/C • 07:24, 4 Jan 2008 (UTC)

The block notice is automated, and a mere formality at that. The user is presented with many more ways to contest a block on the actual block screen. east.718 at 07:27, January 4, 2008

Okay, I see. If you could also take a look at User:Devornacrax, it looks like the same deal. User:Leventorous posted on her talk page asking about an autoblock on that account. Thanks -- Equazcion •✗/C • 07:36, 4 Jan 2008 (UTC)

Talk: Hermy??

Please stop making nonsense talks multiple times, as you did with "Talk: Hermy??????" about 5067 times. Don't be a cunt, stay cool. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.24.31.152 (talk • contribs)

Are you fucking kidding me? I warned you because you were making all these spam talks with the title "Talk: Hermy?????" and you're going to warn me? Man Misplaced Pages needs to check again on who to give the "powers" to. Clearly you're abusing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.24.31.152 (talk • contribs)

RfA Thanks

Dear East718, Thank you for voting in my RfA, which closed successfully with 34 support, 2 oppose, and 0 neutral. I appreciate your support! I promise I will wield the mop wisely, and do my best to improve Misplaced Pages.

Block Thanks

Hi. Thanks for the block. Until it is tracked down, we did not want any more inappropriate edits made. --NERIC-Security (talk) 15:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Screenshot for Lotus Sametime?

Latchingdon

Hi. I tried to move the article Latchingdon,_Essex to the more logical Latchingdon, since that would clear up about 11 red links and because there is only one Latchingdon in the world as far as I am aware. Only one notable one anyway. So it doesn't need the specifier "Essex" (especially not with a comma screwing up the link as well). However, "Latchingdon" was apparently protected by you on 28th December. Could you possibly explain why and if appropriate unprotect it? Because "Latchingdon" makes more logical sense than "Latchingdon,_Essex" and is more likely to be linked to accurately. Thanks. Ray Ellis (talk) 21:16, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation and for sorting it out. Cheers, Ray Ellis (talk) 21:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

You deleted User:Ryanpostlethwaite

I do not see a user request in the deleted history. This is linked in his signature in alot of places. Did he request the deletion? Seems if his page is elsewhere, the redirect to his current page would be more proper. Now his old signatures link to a dead-end page. JERRY _contribs 23:35, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

OK thanks. JERRY _contribs 23:39, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure how you found the redirect so quickly, but I would really appreciate it if in the future you asked me first - the redirect from my old signature linked to my new renamed account, not just a page. Thanks, Ryan Postlethwaite 23:43, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

email

Hi, saw you on the admin list and I needed help so I emailed you something. did you get my email? Tkguy (talk) 00:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
