User:1985MANAmericana Television Radio sock?

While checkuser evidence may prove me wrong, I think there is a very strong chance this new user is not a sock of Television Radio.

His unblock request is properly formatted (correct brackets), and has coherent spelling and grammar, all apparently outside of TV Radios skill set, as displayed by his previous edits. I also do not recall TV Radio ever creating a new article on his own in the past. If this is him, it's a new, unexpected twist in his tale, which has been fairly predictable in the past few months. This new user just doesn't seem to fit the previously established behavior pattern. I'd ask that, if possible, please checkuser this new editor against TV Radio, and unblock if he appears innocent.

Looks like you unblocked as I was composing the previous message, thank you. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 06:41, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Vocalone

Nice iron fist there! Myself, I'm watching over Public image of Barack Obama, on article probation like all Obama articles, which has been bombarded by a registered and IP user, probably the same. The fight never ends. Keep up the good work! Vicenarian (talk) 07:16, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Reason for possible deletion of OneGlobal News Network article?

The information contained in this article is nearly identical to Yahoo! News, except we are not advertising every single service we offer like Yahoo does in their article. If you choose to delete our page, explain why you will not delete Yahoo! News.

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Slmosqueda (talk • contribs) 07:39, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Parents Centres New Zealand Inc deleted page

The page I created last week was deleted. Can you please offer some guideance on what I need to change. We thought we had been very careful when putting together the words for the page. Many thanks.

Talk Page of User talk:Mymyfatboy

This user has been blocked indefinitely for vandalism and is now using his talk page to attack other editors and be generally nonsensical. I know we keep these unlocked to allow an appeal of the blocking, but I don't think the user has any intention of using the talk page for an appeal. Can we block him out of it? Thanks, Vicenarian (talk) 19:29, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Thought You Deserve this:

		Misplaced Pages Motivation Award

My Signature

My Signature is acceptable..right? I've recieved many compliments but one user told me it was against the regulations to have images. But these are specially designed and wiki-formatted for signatures. Thanks for any help that you might give in the future:)SchnitzelMannGreek. 22:06, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Per WP:SIG, neither images nor templates are permitted in signatures. Nakon 22:20, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

235 sections

Please archive your page.— Dædαlus 22:00, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

You counted? Haha. But yeah, this really needs to be archived. Knight-Lord of the Infernal Penguins 00:17, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Lol, I forgot there were numbers next to the section box at the top... Knight-Lord of the Infernal Penguins 00:19, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Agreed-its getting kinda hard to navigate the talkpage; although you might want to keep your awards in a special place like a collection:)SchnitzelMannGreek. 01:23, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Aldamira/Petergriffin9901

I'm sure you were right the first time, so I've reopened Misplaced Pages:Sockpuppet investigations/Petergriffin9901.—Kww(talk) 02:40, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Continuing reverts of the Jägerbomb article

User 74.248.89.150 has again removed the references from the Jägerbomb article after expiration of the block you placed on him. I have restored them.

Can anything be done? Wahrmund (talk) 01:19, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Please refer to the consensus on the Admin Reference Reliability board at http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Noticeboard#Validity_of_Youtube_References - A youtube video not uploaded by an owner isn't reliable. See the Michael Richards (Kramer) TMZ issue as precedence, all Youtube videos were removed as references following the comedy club incident. Whether they are embedded on some blog or Myspace page is irrelevant, anyone can embed a doctored video and use it as a Youtube reference. I will gladly take this discussion to another Admin noticeboard for other Admin opinions. 74.248.89.150 (talk) 03:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Barnstar Design

I was looking up Misplaced Pages barnstars when I noticed that some users like Hersfold created some. An idea of creating a Assyrian Barnstar for those that contribute to Wikiproject Assyria popped into my mind. Could you please tell me how to design barnstars. Thanks.SchnitzelMannGreek. 23:57, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

Could you personally help me?

Instead of deleting it quickily couldn't you personally help me make it right, give me a good example of a subject of the guidelines you were talking about, I don't like that it's deleted, I put in a lot of effort to make it right for the rules and non of you all help me and just delete my page.

If you could personally help me I would not be so angry right now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by USWGO (talk • contribs) 03:56, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

File Question

I'm having trouble placing this file with the proper size. Can you help me? File:Dxfghhd5tw34s.pdf--Tek$jasgn (talk) 04:00, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Did you open it in Acrobat? It looks stretched on my monitor.--Tek$jasgn (talk) 04:03, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Why not maybe you or my family becomes sources

How can I get verifiable sources?

Do I need a reporter, family members, how can I make my information verifiable?

Could you verify a source or do I need to get somebody whos a third party to cite the source? —Preceding unsigned comment added by USWGO (talk • contribs) 04:01, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Alright thank you

So I guess I need to cite my sources, my mom, grandma, and grandpa can verify for me, I don't really have a new agencies talking about me yet. I really don't have any friends to verify, I do have a birth certificate and other stuff, although I'm not sure if I should show something like that, how do I cite that I was born at the hospital, how can I prove I was at the mobile home?

I do have pictures of me at the mobile home and brick house I talked about on the wiki page. Should I include pictures and any newspapers I can find saying that a baby (me) was born at the hospital.

Would this be good enough? Family, pictures, and a newspaper somewhere in the house that says I was born at that hospital. —Preceding unsigned comment added by USWGO (talk • contribs) 04:13, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Thx

Thx, I started the NPP only after an article I was involved in editing was AfDed, and I was shocked that it had such company, it ended as a keep though. And I am really SpacemanSpiff, but Hobbes is my dog, not tiger.--SpacemanSpiff (talk) 05:31, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

More Move Help.

Hello again,

I just need some help in moving some articles around. After some discussion it was decided that Mark Martin (racecar driver) be moved to Mark Martin and that Mark Martin be moved back to Mark Martin (disambiguation). Is there a chance we can get this move completed? Thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 11:13, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey. No, it hasn't been done yet, but it has been done in the past. I think we are going to need to delete some pages. Mark Martin (disambiguation) is a redirect to Mark Martin. The DAB page will need to be deleted to make way for the Mark Martin article's content. Then we are going to need to delete the Mark Martin article so we can move the Mark Martin (racecar driver) into it's place. That is kind of confusing, hope it makes sense. Any help is appreciated! Thanks!--gordonrox24 (talk) 11:20, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

I, Emmette, may have done something wrong.

I may have done something wrong. If it is not to much trouble (and I am NOT being sarcastic) would you take part in the discussion at User talk:Emmette Hernandez Coleman#Whales--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 16:36, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

I would very much appreciate it--Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 17:05, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

MG

FYI... . -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:02, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: I only listed three accounts as that should be enough for locating his recent IPs. I didn't list all of the subaccounts created because in theory the underlying IPs on those should be the same and the CU should pick them up anyways. At one time or another, a CU had blocked several MG IPs. I'm wondering if the blocks expired. I lost track of the the blocks, so I can't check for sure. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:12, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Well, I just re-added it. I believe I did read the instructions correctly... "The following are valid reasons for requesting a quick check: * Blocking of underlying IPs for a longer term than afforded by autoblock." Is that not what I'm asking for? =\ -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 01:38, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: Eh, I don't get it. Seems to be some paperwork kind of thing, but the important thing is that CU who handled the request understand exactly what I was asking for! See the section on User talk:Jake Wartenberg if you're curious. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
