Query
Hi, I hope You are having a good time. I need to ask that when a User who does has never been blocked in past and is also not currently involved in any dispute and never had got a COI notice even (completely clean I mean); but that User has done Unified_login (Help:CentralAuth), and that User requests Misplaced Pages:Courtesy vanishing, then will it vanish the User's account on English Misplaced Pages only or the User's accounts active on all project sites would be simultaneously vanished ?! Sincerely, ← Abstruce 10:19, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi Abstruce. Courtesy vanishing only affects your English Misplaced Pages account; bureaucrats here do not have the ability to change your username on other projects. 28bytes (talk) 15:17, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, Thank You for Your reply
Well, in that case, AM I correct if I believe that Courtesy vanishing would only mean the vanishing of the User's account on English Misplaced Pages only, and the same User's account(s) on all other project sites would remain unaffected and would continue despite of the User's account getting vanish on English Misplaced Pages ?! I also very respectfully ask You that is there a way by which a User may request a complete vanishing of all of the linked accounts (unified login) which are activate on different project sites, or one has to find out which of the project sites offer the Users a Right to Vanish and then send request one by one to the concerned authoritative person(s) on the respective project site ?! Sincerely, ← Abstruce 17:13, 23 November 2013 (UTC)
- Hi, Thank You for Your reply
- Check with User:Avraham or User:MBisanz; they are both bureaucrats and stewards, and may be able to help you make the change on other wikis. 28bytes (talk) 20:11, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Delighted to see you run for Arbcom! :D I wasn't expecting to see your name at all; you're one member of a minuscule group of people who I know won't disappoint me if you're elected. Good luck! Acalamari 18:42, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thank you very much! I wasn't expecting to see my name at all there, either, for what it's worth. :) 28bytes (talk) 19:44, 22 November 2013 (UTC)
Important Notice: Your 2013 Arbitration Committee Election vote
Greetings. Because you have already cast a vote for the 2013 Arbitration Committee Elections, I regret to inform you that due to a misconfiguration of the SecurePoll we've been forced to strike all votes and reset voting. This notice is to inform you that you will need to vote again if you want to be counted in the poll. The new poll is located at this link. You do not have to perform any additional actions other than voting again. If you have any questions, please direct them at the election commissioners. --For the Election Commissioners, v/r, TParis
Solar Abundance Figure
Hi,
I'm not sure if I'm doing this the right way, but I'm trying to find out how to (or if I need) permission to use the Solar Abundance Figure that you apparently originally uploaded (http://en.wikipedia.org/File:SolarSystemAbundances.png). If you can help, it would be appreciated.
Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.194.120.53 (talk) 10:04, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi there. The original version of the chart was uploaded by another editor with a CC-BY-SA-3.0 license, so you are welcome to re-use it as long as you credit that editor (User:Orionus) and agree to re-license any modifications with the same license. You may find File:SolarSystemAbundances.svg useful as well, as it's higher quality. If you're interested in where the underlying data came from, that's specified on this page. Hope this helps! 28bytes (talk) 19:01, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
Slight change suggested for solar abundance figure
The element symbol Sn for tin (Z=50) should be moved a little up and to the right, so it is closer to the graph dot for tin. Right now it looks as if it might be labeling the graph dot for cadmium (Z=48).CharlesHBennett (talk) 13:08, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- Good catch. I tried to open File:SolarSystemAbundances.svg in a text editor to move the Sn label (I figure we should be updating that file, since the JPEG and PNG versions are deprecated), but apparently there is no label in the SVG: everything is graphical paths, no text. Unfortunately I can't help, since I don't have a proper SVG editor, and the editor who uploaded it appears to be inactive. You may try asking at the Graphics Lab; I'm sure someone there has an SVG editor and could quickly make the change. 28bytes (talk) 18:44, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

BLP1E?
Are you serious? There is no reading of BLP1E that even remotely supports deletion. He is not notable for one "event" as having a large number of arrests is not an "event", but a characteristic. It is also a characteristic that has been covered by reliable sources, national and international, for over a decade so it is not some characteristic that was reported for just a brief period of time. He is also at the center of the coverage since it is all about him. There may be a good argument for deleting the article, but that one was not it.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 18:54, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- Getting arrested a lot is a "characteristic"? That seems like a bit of a reach. But even allowing for that interpretation, can you think of anything in our policies or guidelines that grants notability based on a person's characteristic(s)? Neither WP:ANYBIO or WP:CRIME seem in line with that view, for example. I'm open to reconsidering my close, but there's going to have to be something policy-based that I missed. 28bytes (talk) 19:20, 10 December 2013 (UTC)

- Thanks for the notification. 28bytes (talk) 20:40, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- A characteristic is "a distinguishing trait, quality, or property" and in that respect him having a long arrest record qualifies. None of those individual arrests is cited as the basis for notability so it is not about one event. Plenty of people are notable for just one thing or one characteristic. People will be considered notable just for holding one verified world record or receiving one particularly prestigious award. You have cases like The Elephant Man where the person is really only notable as a medical oddity. Not that I am likening his case to any of those cases, but we would not delete those articles as "one event" bios because those are not really singular events. Had he only received national coverage for the most recent arrest then I would agree with BLP1E, but he received national coverage a decade prior and it was less for his arrest record then and more for the Internet fame it got him.--The Devil's Advocate tlk. cntrb. 22:06, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
- Well, it's not an unreasonable argument to make, but I remain more convinced by the argument that BLP1E does apply.
