Yabashira Station

I originally tagged this for A1, but then the speedy tag was removed by a respected editor, so i added a PROD tag. But after talking with that user they decided it did meet A1, not gonna re-tag for obvious reasons (per my 1RR rule), but am going to ask that you delete it as A1. Thanks, Tiptoety 00:21, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Taken care of, thank you. Tiptoety 01:02, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I crashed your deletion bot? -- penubag  (talk) 05:15, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Agh, I'm sorry. I've seen several soft redirects from articles to Wiktionary and thought that #REDIRECT ] was how to make them. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble. -- penubag  (talk) 06:09, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Ahh, thanks! I'll stash that somewhere for later usage. :) -- penubag  (talk) 06:12, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/2008x12

Here's the story ... the three accounts in question were blanking material that used a newspaper-operated blog as a source. Such blogs are permitted as sources under WP:RS#News organizations. Therefore, as I saw it, there was no BLP violation there, and I considered it a case of blanking of cited material. The reasoning behind filing a sock case was that you had two users go right to that page as their only edit and blank the material. Blueboy96 10:10, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I guess I wouldn't have been inclined to jump on it if it didn't appear to be affiliated with a newspaper ... but I do agree with you on finding better sources--earlier in the day, I was able to track down actual links to White House press releases. Hopefully that helps ... and is there any way I can prove that I know what vandalism looks like? Blueboy96 20:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Well, since you asked (sorta) ... here are some recent diffs from reverts I did:

Also have a look at Misplaced Pages:Suspected sock puppets/Borseter‎, where I caught a linkspammer using several sock accounts to insert spamlinks into articles. Hope this helps ... Blueboy96 20:43, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Deleted image

You deleted this. If I had known it was tagged for potential deletion, I'd have fixed it. Would you restore it and let me add a FUR? The team is defunct and it's a historical image for the baseball team. - ✰ALLSTAR✰ 14:19, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Omgwtfbbq (the article that is)

Hey, just wondering if you could subst {{longcomment}} into the Omgwtfbbq article for me. Ta! --Closedmouth (talk) 14:26, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Haha, never mind, bad timing. --Closedmouth (talk) 14:39, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Picture deletion

Hey there...Im absolutely confused with how to upload images on here. I uploaded a picture of the former Westboro theatre but I find all the steps very confusing. I would also like to upload pictures of the former Aladdin Drive-In site and other Ottawa Theatre pictures that are my own work. my pic was deleted and I was wondering how I upload images simply.

thanks,

AfD nomination of Interact club

Undeletion

So Maxim's script was faster than my clicker. I was FURing some images and it redlinks. Could you restore the images listed on this page? User:MBisanz/Logos. I'll re-delete any that I don't fix. Thanks. MBisanz 06:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I think I got them all. But what is up with Image:Tina-image.jpg (when I was double checking the category). Seems like an error of some sort. MBisanz 07:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Request for unprotection of Kobe Bryant

Hey there, it appears that you protected this page back in December 2007. I don't know why it is still protected really. Quite frankly, I don't know why I'm not able to edit it myself, being a registered user here. Anyhow, I would simply like to edit on it here and there, and I notice it is quickly turning into a fan page instead of an objective encyclopedic entry. Thanks!A fine point (talk) 20:29, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Why

did you delete the skate perception article? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hellashes (talk • contribs) 16:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

flag Nicaragua template

Instead of showing the flag and the country name, Template:flag for "Nicaragua" only shows the image name and the country name. This appears to be fine for most other countries.

•  Nicaragua

All of these templates appear to be protected against editing by mortals such as myself. I noticed that you amended the protection for Template:NIC, so you probably have the authority to fix this. –BozoTheScary (talk) 19:17, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

RM

Your edit summary was misleading. But adding an image is a lot better than adding the article content you said you did; that article is currently protected precisely because of edit warring over coverage of the Jimbo incident. Please, lets not have admins edit warring over the article while protected. GRBerry 20:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: ImageTaggingBot

There was a recent change in how MediaWiki handles non-existant pages in logs that prevents ImageTaggingBot from correctly identifying an image's uploader if that person doesn't have a userpage. The fix requires a complete re-write of the bot to use api.php rather than screen-scraping, and I haven't had time to do it. --Carnildo (talk) 21:30, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

There's an easy fix, but I'd be chasing a moving target. Looking at the bot's logs, I'd have had to have changed the bot's code at least twice in the past week, and each time it went wrong, it would have left 50-100 invalid talkpages before I could catch the failure. --Carnildo (talk) 05:04, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Photo deletion

I could see a Photo named Korapuzha river.jpg has been deleted by you. The photo was taken and uploaded by me and I had stated it on the upload note. Could you please tell me what should I add more to not get it deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kuniyil (talk • contribs)

Hi, Please free license it under GFDL. Many thanks for your help.--Kuniyil (talk) 09:41, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Deleted fair-use image

I see that you have deleted File:Catalin Predoiu-1.JPG stating "CSD I7: Replaceable fair use and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago)". If it is replaceable, what image has it been replaced with ? The Goverment site also uses the same image (but with a poor quality). I would not say the image is replaceable, unless we will find another image. It is possible that in the future more images will appear, but they probably will also be copyrighted. Moreover, I (the uploader) was not notified at all about the deletion. The only notification was in that page, which said something like "if the image is found to be replaceable within 48 hours, it will be deleted". But how and when was it found to be replaceable ? Razvan Socol (talk) 06:37, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I seriously question the possibility of creating a similar free image. I mean, he is the Justice Minister, can someone just go to him and say "Please, wait a second, I want to take a picture of you for Misplaced Pages" ? I doubt it; only accredited press will be allowed to attend the press conferences and they will produce copyrighted images. I'm not saying it's impossible to create a free image, but it's unlikely. Razvan Socol (talk) 07:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I found other two non-free images of him, here and here, but both are copyrighted (and have a poor quality, anyway), so I doubt that we will find a free image of him. Razvan Socol (talk) 07:36, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

deleted_photo

Can you please help? I uploaded a photo under: "Licensed as for non-commercial use only, non-derivative use or used with permission". The photo was deleted for the reason: "no assertion of fair use was provided". I though I had provided all information required. What do I have to do to have the photo accepted?

Following the initial upload, I tried to upload the same photo with a higher resolution, which resulted in a warning. It was due to this warning that I first learnt of the deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Barry Kay Archive (talk • contribs) 12:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Your removal of the Twinkle access for Levine2112

You are right that Twinkle should not be used for edit warring. You are also right to block Quackguru and Levine2112. However, I think it is an overreaction to remove Levine2112s Twinkle access . Levine2112 does use Twinkle a lot for productive purposes such as greeting newcomers and removing blatant vandalism. Let this access removal be a warning and restore it after a few days. MaxPont (talk) 08:57, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Actually, Levine2112 used Twinkle to vandalize an article twice in a row and I reverted him. QuackGuru (talk) 20:36, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Is it a WP:COI when chiropractors engage in wikilawyering the talk page and POVing the main chiropractic article? I want the article to be a neutral presentation according to the WP:RS references. Misplaced Pages does not enforce NPOV at this time. How can I achieve the NPOV standard when some editors do not want that to ever happen. Read the current protected version starting with the sentence: Spinal manipulation has generally regarded is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of various mechanical low back pain syndromes. http://en.wikipedia.org/Chiropractic#_ref-Hurwitz_0 The text is not verified by the references. After reading the sentence, read the references. There is a clear NPOV policy violation. According to WP:NPOV: Neutral point of view is a fundamental Misplaced Pages principle. NPOV is absolute and non-negotiable. It seems some editors are intent on POVing the article. How can the never ending NPOV problems be resolved? QuackGuru (talk) 22:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I notified an editor who edited articles under probation and now I am being accused of something dubious. I disagree. For example, I'clast edited the Quackwatch article that is under probation. QuackGuru (talk) 22:52, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I NPOVed the Larry Sanger article and changed it from a poorly written article into officially a Good article. Not everybody is happy about my Larry Sanger editing. QuackGuru (talk) 23:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

The Quackwatch article is under probation and I'clast has edited the article when it is still under probation.

These three comments at I'clast's talk page are highly disruptive and should be dealt with in a proper manner. I have given plenty of evidence the probation has failed and I am unfairly being attacked. QuackGuru (talk) 23:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

You are abusing the the Hom warning tag, me, and perhaps the patience of most. Despite some past sharp differences, Addhoc and Fyslee are largley agreeing with my statement about your (ab)use of the tag. As for QW, despite my digging up academic reference after reference to try to instill some WP:V & NPOV, your assertions here exemplify the abuse of the Homeo- warning tag for my infrequent edits that are about QW, not homeopathy.--I'clast (talk) 00:48, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

This is another personal attack/disruptive comment/wikilawyering attempt by I'clast. I'clast edited the Quackwatch article under probation and received a proper notification. QuackGuru (talk) 01:09, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

I'clast is on the attack again. http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard#Violation_of_own_sign I'clast is involved in a WP:POINT violation. QuackGuru (talk) 01:20, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Sammo Hung image

Hello, Just a couple of quick points / q's regarding File:SammoHung EasternCondors screenshot.jpg, which was deleted by East718 on 03 March 2008, and removed from the Sammo Hung article by ImageRemovalBot on the same day...

When I now go to File:SammoHung EasternCondors screenshot.jpg, it states: 02:54, 3 March 2008 East718 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Image:SammoHung EasternCondors screenshot.jpg" ‎ (CSD I7: Replaceable fair use and the uploader was notified more than 48 hours ago).

1) I'm sure I was the uploader of the image, but I definitely did not receive any notification that the image would be deleted, either on my talk page, or on the talk page of the article on which the image appeared. This obviously gives me zero chance to amend the article / image usage rationale before it's deleted. I'm not sure if the image page was in my watchlist, so I don't know whether or not you posted any sort of notification of impending deletion there either.

2) I understand possible reasons for the deletion of the image. However, it was tagged as a screenshot and had at least some sort of rationale. Should the image not have been tagged with a "di-disputed rationale" tag first? It could be argued that the image pertained more to the film it was from than to the actor depicted in the image. If the image had been disputed for this reason it could have been reallocated to a more appopriate location.

3) Finally, just a general moan: Even if I had recieved notice that the image was about to be deleted, who decided that 48 hours was a sufficient period of notice before deletion, anyway? I've been a member here for 2.5 years and made almost 8000 edits over that time. But that doesn't mean I have the opportunity to visit the site every 48 hours. I know you probably can't help with this, but it's a pain. Surely 7 days notice would be acceptable for non-offensive images...

Ah well, I appreciate any responses you can provide. Gram123 (talk) 15:28, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Bruce Firestone

I was not made aware of the Firestone image being deleted. I uploaded it. It was from his promotional material. Not ok? Did I mess up the uploading? Alaney2k (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Username

How do you managed to get a lower case "e" in your username, as it appears at the top of your user/talk pages? Swirlface (talk) 00:50, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Broaden and Build

I see that you deleted broaden and build as a "redirect to nonexistent page," but on my talk page I was told by User:Milk's favorite cookie that it was speedy-deleted for copyright violation. Could you clarify what happened? There used to be material there, and if there was a violation of copyright I'd like to be able to look at the history and get it back to an acceptable state. Thanks much. Inhumandecency (talk) 00:59, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
