New to Misplaced Pages? - hello! See Misplaced Pages:Welcome, Misplaced Pages:Help, and Misplaced Pages:My first article for useful advice to get you started. If those don't help you, then by all means please do come back and ask me your question(s).
Can't edit my talk page archives? If there is anything (chiefly privacy stuff) you would like removing or amending, let me know below or by email. If you are unsure whether you want everyone seeing your message, don't post it here - again, email me.
Unblocking of User:Spot Image
Since no one told me about the discussion, or gave me a chance to give input, I feel your unblocking was premature and wrong. You need to at least wait until I had a chance to give input. Guiom did not tell me about the AN discussion, nor has anyone even tried to address my concerns. I'm not about wheel warring, but this is ridiculous. pschemp | talk 11:05, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Neil. I've already asked him by email to try and find another username; I've also given him some advice regarding the POTD thing and asked him what the status of the discussions was regarding the removal of the watermarks. This is the second time I am involved in a wikidrama (the first time was about an emergency desysopping), I really should stay away from the AN :) Thanks again for your help. guillom 14:00, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Great Power
Hey Neil, thanks for deleting the potential great powers section at the great power article. Hopefully this will stop the edit warring. None of the regular editors involved on the page could have removed without starting an edit war. --Hobie Hunter (talk) 11:56, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Fingers crossed that will resolve things. If there's any further problems let me know. Neıl 龱 14:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
hi
it seems that "my" rfc is death so i want to know if i have recovered all my rights to edit whatever i want, like users Naval and Maurice do, or i still have your hidden block and your threatens to block me if i edit again. I want to hear from you to report it if i still have it, i think that or i am blocked or i have recovered all my rights but your hidden block it doesn't seem me legal and i will report it. thanks. --Sclua (talk) 13:22, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- I never threatened to block you if you edited again. I threatened to block you if you edit warred again, particularly on the Coat of arms of Catalonia article. Neıl 龱 13:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Watermarks
Neil, we can't be running around after a user who keeps uploading watermarked images, and remove the watermarks. Users outnumber admins by a long shot, so who is going to be following around all the watermark uploaders if we create a precedent that uploading watermarked images is entirely acceptable? It's clearly not acceptable - for instance, watermarked images are completely forbidden at WP:FPC. Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Of course they are not acceptable at FPC. And of course they are not acceptable on any article. Uploading them under a license that allows us to remove them isn't that bad - as the watermarks are all in the same place on each image, I would imagine a bot could remove them. Neıl 龱 14:19, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Who is going to write this bot? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know. "I'm an idea man, Chuck!" There's loads of clever bot operators around. Neıl 龱 14:29, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
-
- Ideally, the user we're talking about is going to re-upload all images without any watermarks. No bot will be needed. guillom 14:30, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Has the user agreed to do this? Papa Lima Whiskey (talk) 14:32, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Alphabet to E-mail: How Written English Evolved and Where It's Heading
I noticed you created this article, and that it's tagged for proposed deletion. Just thought you should know, in case you want to defend. WikiKingOfMishawaka (talk) 15:06, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks. I took the five seconds the nominator should have taken and added five references to the article. Neıl 龱 15:14, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/West Parish Elementary School
Hi, would you take a second look at this close, please? I think that there was a misunderstanding - the science park is an integral part of the school and not a separate entity. Consequently, an article on just part of a school is not practical. Whether the coverage of the science park part is sufficient to give the school notability is what the debate was about and the views were evenly balanced. IMHO this should have been closed as 'no consensus'. TerriersFan (talk) 15:31, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- According to the article (look at the picture) - it's a community science park. If you can find something else that says it's definitely part of the school I will certainly reconsider. Neıl 龱 16:25, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Tivoli Theatre (London)
Hi Neil. Is this talk page still being used? Regards, Rudget (logs) 18:35, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sticking references there as I find them prior to creating the article. People keep tagging it for deletion, but G5 only applies for orphaned talk pages that aren't helping build the encyclopedia. Assembling references clearly does. Neıl 龱 19:58, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
- I saw it and thought it whether it may comply with G8 or not. I wasn't sure as the history was quite brief (and included a reversion) so I thought best to ask you before any action. Thank you for the response. Regards, Rudget (logs) 21:45, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Weapons and equipment of the Tau Empire (Warhammer 40,000)
A little more explanation might be appreciated as part of any editorial decisions. "The result was delete." is needlessly brusque. If you can not find time to write opinions to support your decisions, you should not be passing them down. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.97.110.123 (talk) 17:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
- "The result was" is put there automatically. If you believe the AFD closing message to be too blunt, then you need to discuss that at Template talk:Afd top. Neıl 龱 18:10, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Ibiza question again
I am not sure how to fix the following problem: In the Ibiza article, I cannot find any edit links next to the sections. Could you point out what is going on with that? - Arcayne () 15:10, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
- I am thinking that it is the images along the right side that are cocking matters up. Is there any general consensus regarding (free) image galleries in articles? If so, I could move most of the images to a section specifically for them, and maybe use them more appropriately in sections where they would be more useful. - Arcayne () 21:07, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Deletion review for West Parish Elementary School
An editor has asked for a deletion review of West Parish Elementary School. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. — The Hand That Feeds You: 14:58, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification
Some time ago, you participated in a deletion review concerning Allegations of Chinese apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:27, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
