Dear Mike, good wishes for the beginning new year! with greetings from Hamburg! ko

Minimaze wikification

Mike, you took a look at the topic minimaze on Dec 26 and commented that it needed wikification. It is my first wiki page. I think the issue may have been that it did not include internal links. I've edited it extensively since then, adding internal links and scholarly references. Can you take a look? What else do I need to do to be a good wiki citizen? jamesmcclelland 22:26, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

What else do you want

This guy will take you down all the time, put socket puppet on your page and he thinks he knos something... now listen up boy... What is the meaning of blocking people, ok, i can open 100 account and u can track me for the next 120 years , u want war, ok, you will get one, stop accusing me and others of vandalism, ok, i dont mind if you say i am puppet socket,

we are 3 different people from g r project, if you continue putting shit on our pages and connecting to others, let me assure you, problems will happen, since you are taking away our time and our freedom, or we can work together and resolve this asap, got that?

Thanks for the fix

Thanks for catching my accidental edit on Curt Jurgens's userpage rather than his talkpage. Whoops — time to go to bed! --Mgreenbe 00:36, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Dear Mike,

If you guys are going to allow this John Titor bullshit, you really have no room to criticize anything.

Sincerely, Andy

Dear Mike,

If you have a personal vendetta against Anthony Morone, I think that is really something you should take up with him instead of sabotaging Misplaced Pages articles made in his namesake just because you do not consider him important. Perhaps you should do your research before jumping to such conclusions. And yet, you save the underwhelming Titor article simply because you have some weird fascination with his posts on a message board. This sort of bias and censorship is totally egregious. Next thing you know, you will be blotting out the Holocaust article.

Sincerely, --Andrewwwm83 15:38, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Good wishes for the already running new year!

Dear Mike! You are right: No they shall not be forgotten! Please excuse me for my late reply: I am so buisy with music. Involved with the rehursuals for the performance of the opera Médée par Darius Milhaud. A production at the Hochschule für Musik und Theater in Hamburg <www.musiktheater-regie.de> which steels all of my remaining time! Thanks for Your kind reminder and best wishes for the new year! Greetings from Oldenfelde (part north-east of Hamburg)! Ludolf

Redirects for deletion

I explain why they must remain redirects on the Redirect for deletion page. In the future, please click the "what links here" link on the left sidebar, if you're not sure why something would be set such a way. Thanks!--Urthogie 17:51, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Operation Medak pocket

I'd liked to know why did you reversed my changes on that page. Isn't the disscusion page apropriate before you change something in that way? This changes were made after the newest publicatons of the documents of the waring parties in that region. --Ceha 22:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Maps of the wars in ex-Yugoslavia

Hey:) Thank you for message, I'm new at wikipedia and yet don't know how to avoid that kind of things. As I live near that area I am familar with the things that were (are still:) going in that area. Most of the informations for maps were picked up from the newspers, books etc. (evrything is checked, altough there can bee some minor errors in wich cases I'd like that users direct me to that). Base grid of bosnian municipalites were taken from http://www.ohr.int/ohr-info/maps/ and changed due to the informations I had. I'd like to know why this user didn't come to me and asked me about copright on the maps(I said I was new here, perhaps that is naive:) At any case, thank you for your mesage.

--Ceha 22:05, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

In that case I am afraid the maps do not seem to be your original creations; rather, they are derivative works. (See Misplaced Pages:Copyright FAQ for the difference.) I am trying to find out what the copyright status of the original map images is. (The site has no online contact to its administrators and no copyright information.) -- Mike Rosoft 01:09, 26 January 2006 (UTC) 01:09

Maps of municipalities are public. They are intended for public usage. I only used that public base image to show the front lines and peace plans (better said the base is for refference them to distinct municipalities). I'm sorry if I made some kind rufus:) Maps aren't my original creation in the sence I made them from scratch, they represent maps of the peace plans (for example Wance-Owen) which I reconstructed by memory, informations in the newspapers and some books(which I wrote in images commentary). All informations I used were public. In anny case thank you for notice, I'll look for explanation of derrivate works:)

Gilbert "Magú" Luján

Hi. I didn't look extensively, but it appeared that the page at Gilbert "Magú" Luján was more up-to-date than the page at Magu/Temp. I think that the page at Magu/Temp could have been simply deleted. Could you look again at the versions of the pages as they existed earlier and make sure? Thanks! — Fingers-of-Pyrex 15:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:GermanGov

Hi there, you just now removed the speedy tag from {{GermanGov}}. This tag is Complete Bollocks (just read the talk page and the TfD discussion) and in any case no longer used. All images are now for re-tagging at WP:PUI. The sooner we get rid of it the better. It confuses people and only serves to increase legal exposure. Pilatus 16:09, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for moving that non sequitur userbox to my user space. My fat fingers strike like lightning, never twice in the same place... cheers, Just plain Bill 17:57, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my userpage :) Pseudomonas 17:58, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Petr Sykora

Mike, we're going through a few discussions right now...do you want to weight in on the subject? I was trying to go by what I understood was a solid guideline, but apparently I'm mistaken. Thanks! RasputinAXP _{talk contribs} 20:29, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Er, actually, I'm confused worse because the talk pages are pointed all over the place :) RasputinAXP _{talk contribs} 20:33, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

User:166.66.16.116

Hey, I noticed you blocked this user. I just wanted you to see his actual edit history & consider an indefinite ban on his IP range at least down to 166.66.16.xxx

I'm not watching this page, so delete this comment at will, & reply on my page... ;~D Grye 10:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I was just notifying you because you made one of them (blocks)... My point is, I'd call:

1. 42+ reverted edits by one IP pretty serious vandalism. Disruption at the least.
2. X more reverted edits by 2 other user identities of the same person pretty serious
3. 4+1 blocks on the same user with 2 weeks pretty serious
4. I'd call statements like "Yeah what you gonna do arrest me?", in response to etmplate & standard Wiki warnings & requests, of concern. Not the only one he made either.

Grye 22:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Complaint

Hello its that petition guy from the NSPCN section, is it possible to recover deleted articles, if so could you email it to my adress <e-mail removed>, thanks

• Done. - Mike Rosoft 13:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks :-)

Thanks for putting the "speedy" into "speedy delete". Much appreciated. haz _(user talk) 21:02, 9 February 2006

WP:VIP page has problems

The WP:VIP page has technical problems (I described them on Talk page, it is repeatable).

Can you please try to alarm someone on admin list/whenever? The page is quite large, perhaps pruning it down would help.

And when I am here, can you take look at the bad guy 210.18.215.146 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) whom I wanted to put there?

Perhaps the problem isn't in Wiki, my ADSL connection from Telecom got down. No idea, leaving for today. TIA Pavel Vozenilek 01:57, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Template:User No Marxism (a sort of request for comment or smth of the kind)

Template: User No Marxism created by me on December 31, 2005 has been deleted and the deletion protected (February 15). I object to this deletion as out of process, without any consensus and as obviously biased. The template was deleted as a one man act.

To begin with, unlike the case concerning Template:User anti-fascism, --deletion of which was suggested openly and discussed (and the result was rejection)-- no normal process concerning my template ever took place. User:MarkSweep deleted it multiple times after I had recreated (Februrary 15). Deleting the template concerned has been rejected as ‘out of process’ and ‘vandalism’ already on February 11 Template_talk:User_No_Marxism. I have used the same phrases for describing this action.

My points are:

1. The person behind deletion described the template as ‘divisive’ and ‘inflammatory’. Consequently from that opinion and the extraordinary deletion, one naturally should have immediately deleted Template:User anti-fascism, Template:User anti-imperialist and numerous other as ‘negation’ templates. Nothing of the kind was accomplished. Thus, in addition to being out of process this one-person-decision is obviously biased. I recommend balance be held. (Taking an analogue, this act is similar to hypothetical action when an administrator extraordinarily deletes the ‘anti-fascist’ template while retaining several ‘fascist’ ones.)

2. Having deleted anti-Marxist template (userbox) with the justification of the template reflecting ‘divisive and inflammatory’ ideology, one unquestionably should have reached the conclusion, that all userboxes reflecting Communist (and Socialist) ideologies should have been deleted under similar reason.

The nature of the their indivisiveness is obvious to everyone with a little knowledge of the topic. The result would be nonsense: we would have to carry out a mass deletion of userboxes, otherwise there can be no talk of neutrality. I myself firmly believe that userboxes reflecting various (opposing) ideologies should be kept.

I suggest restoring this particular template, so that it could be nominated for deletion and discussed. Extraordinary deletions should not be exercised, unless it affects all the political userboxes, A single deletion of an ideology is biased, until the decision has been made and accomplished to delete all the userboxes. Constanz - Talk 06:46, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks - catching a bit of vandalism on my user page

Hi, I just noticed that you reverted a few insults to me (vandalism) on my userpage way back in December. I'd like to say thanks a lot for doing that. As I haven't been here in ages, and even if I was, I would've never noticed it! Thanks again, much appreciated :) MatthewDent 12:48, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Help redoing redirect?

Hi there. I am considering changing the redirect for Ptolemaic found here to a disambiguation page for Ptolemaic, distinguishing between Ptolemaic dynasty and Ptolemaic system and also Ptolemy, plus other uses if I think of them. I clicked on the "What links here" for the current redirect (see here) and there is a list of about 43 links, not all of which should be redirecting to Ptolemaic dynasty (which is where the redirect is currently pointing). I see here that you did the redirect of the misspelling Ptolomaic to Ptolemaic. Would you be able to help tidy up the links pointing at Ptolomaic (7) and Ptolemaic (43)?

Could you please explain this talk page move?

13:02, 14 March 2006 Mike Rosoft moved User talk:203.219.28.168 to User talk:Silly monkey (In case he logs in again)

I reverted your move, because it seemed, well, silly. But you seem to be an established CVU admin, so I'm not sure; was there a good reason for that move I might have missed? Thanks! :) --Ashenai 13:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Inquiry

Last night, I created a page for the band Okay and in less than 12 hours it was deleted. I know the page may not have had much content, but could you please explain the rationale behind this? I have no relation to the band, I was just looking to be sure they existed here. --Gordonjay 10:09, 14 March 2006

Democracy

It is very interesting to see that Misplaced Pages is called Democracy in the english Version. Nearly all German Administrators are denying ( spelled wrong ??? ) that fact. But at least the Misplaced Pages Main basis ist still on the correct track. ekkenekepen

Trollkotze stuff

Why'd you delete my page that I wrote on Trollkotze. I worked long and hard on that. It may not have looked like much, but finding information in another language isn't as easy as it looks. What in the world does "hoax or band vanity" mean??? -Shinobi101, 17:44, Mar 16, 2006

Re: Image:Becherovka 300cl.jpg

Thanks for contributing this image to Misplaced Pages. I am afraid this image is unlikely to be a good replacement of Image:Becherovka bottle.jpg: the latter image is licensed under the GFDL license; the former one has come from the official website of Becherovka and I was unable to verify that they allow it to be used for any (this includes commercial) purpose. A fair use claim might be reasonable, but it is Misplaced Pages's policy that a free image should be used if one is available. (I have nominated your image for deletion. Sorry for any inconvenience.)

Regards, Mike Rosoft 16:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you thought I uploaded this image? I don't even know how to upload an image. The image history indicates you want User:Welkinridge. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk page deletion

Can you delete my user talk page at User talk:Locke Cole (and userpage as well if it hasn't been handled already)? Thanks. —Locke Cole • t • c 20:07, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Indefinite block reporting question

Hi. I've been an admin for a few months now and just handed down my first indefinite block (to User:Shockster Fun Casinos who was spamming). I want to list it at WP:PE however I can't seem to find the place to do it. Under "No expiration date" I'm seeing template links for blocks but I can't find where they lead to (for example your block of Joker83 from the other day). Am I missing a step somewhere? The Account Suspensions page isn't very clear on this. Thanks. 23skidoo 16:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

List of redundant expressions

Hi, Zargulon here. I respect your decision to refuse my speedy delete request for List of redundant expressions; but I need to ask for advice. Deleting it (under the current proposed deletion) is bound to be controversial as it is being defended by a horde of trolls, who narrowly defeated a consensus for delete under a previous afd (linked to on the article's talk page. I strongly believe that deleting it (and other articles like it) will make wikipedia better, and that the cited what-wikipedia-is-not criterion applies directly and explicitly to this article. Please tell me what I should do now, or, if there's nothing else I can do, what future you see for this article. Thanks. Zargulon 12:17, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Please use the current method for tagging things as no-source

I noticed you used {{no source}} to tag an image as lacking a source. The current recomended way to do that is {{subst:nsd}}, which automatically adds the image to the proper per-day category, which we use to ease the job of deleting the images. Please use that in the future. Thanks for your work, and enjoy your time at Misplaced Pages! JesseW, the juggling janitor 10:16, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Catholicism

Do you have any idea what happened to this article? Even the history is gone! There's a plan afoot among some editors to merge this article with Catholic Church, Catholic, and One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church, but we can't get a start on it without the article. Much thanks! Fishhead64 22:37, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Transtopianism

Is it really non notable? Its yahoo group has over 900 members. Surely the different content makes it a different case rather than simply something to be resubmitted. You could have at least waited the 5 days and untill I responded to the talk page. I admit, it wasnt a great article, but could I have it back so i can improve & resubmit it. Crippled Sloth 23:19, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Images used for vandalism at commons

Hi Mike,

I saw you nominated several images for speedy deletion at Commons due to their being used for vandalism here. That's no problem, but I just wanted to let you know that you're likely to get a faster response by contacting an admin directly or posting a request on the Commons:Village pump. (Our speedy deletion is not so speedy. ;)) Also since uploading those four images was the only thing that user had done, plus their somewhat offensive username, you could suggest an indef block as was done at en (I did this at Commons). Cheers, pfctdayelise (translate?) 09:39, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

User:ROGNNTUDJUU!/GOP criminal

Agreed. I have deleted the "deleted" notice; feel free to re-create the userbox here. (This page is not a template, so speedy deletion criteria for templates do not apply. And re-creation of speedily deleted material is not automatically a candidate for speedy deletion as a repost; it must meet other speedy deletion criteria by itself.) - Mike Rosoft 10:19, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Dear Mike: Just to let you know, the G4 criterion states:

Recreation of deleted material. A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted according to the deletion policy, except if it is in user space or undeleted per the undeletion policy. Before deleting again, the admin should ensure that the material is substantially identical, and not merely a new article on the same subject. In case of a speedily deleted page, they must also determine that it did meet a criterion for speedy deletion in the first place.

It was quite clear the userbox that compared a modern day political party to Nazism was obviously a T1 (divisive/inflammatory) speedy candidate. Recreating material in userspace doesn't exempt it from being speedy redeleted as per G4, especially when that material is clearly quite calculated to irritate others. Regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 12:26, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

The speedy deletion criterion you have quoted: "A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted according to the deletion policy, except if it is in user space ..." refutes your argument. Deleted material which has been re-created in userspace (or moved there) is not a candidate for speedy deletion - at least, not as a re-creation. Should User:ROGNNTUDJUU!/GOP criminal be re-created, please bring it to WP:MFD, instead of speedily deleting it again (against the policy). - Mike Rosoft 12:34, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Frankly, I don't see why this disruptive user should be permitted to have his silly political bumper stickers at all; he seems to be under the mistaken impression this is MySpace, and that his political canvassing is of any relevance to the project. But very well, I concede. I reserve the right, however, to delete any such recreations in mainspace, or if any of his user subpages are misused via being transcluded on other userpages. Indeed, I am very close to blocking this user for general disruption, focusing on dispute areas, incivility, political canvassing and clear contempt for the purpose of our project. Best regards, --NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 12:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Transclusion in userspace

Mike, hi.

I've been following the situation with NicholasTurnbull and ROGNNTUDJUU!, and I just wanted to address a question you asked on NT's talk page: "Exactly what is wrong with including, rather than substituting, a user-created page in another user's space?"

The idea, as I understand it, is that including a userbox like that is essentially using it as a template, even though it's not in the Template namespace. It allows many users to transclude the same userbox, and to find each other using "what links here", which essentially facilitates organization by POV. That's the main reason userboxes got a bad name in the first place; people were abusing templates (and user categories) for the purposes of rushing AfD votes against any articles on particular topics. ROGNNTUDJUU! stated on his user talk page "I want the pages unblocked such that other users can use it and link to each other." I think that's sufficient reason to keep the page deleted, and insist on substituting it wherever it's used. -GTBacchus 14:37, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with using user pages as templates. There is no policy against it, and it even saves space some are so worried about. De mortuis... 20:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

User:Dmcdevit redeleted User:ROGNNTUDJUU!/User against Iraq war of aggression and User:ROGNNTUDJUU!/GOP criminal. I will file a complaint at RFC if another user fails to convince him that he violates policy. De mortuis... 01:10, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

NicholasTurnbull now blocked ROGNNTUDJUU! indefinitely after you had already told him his deletions were wrong. This needs to be undone immediately. I wonder how he comes to the conclusion ROGNNTUDJUU! did not help the project as he had many valuable edits in the article space. And this is not on a single admin to decide. De mortuis... 15:08, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

You say on your userpage that you are a liberal and an atheist, so why can I not express my beliefs in the same way? --RichardHarrold 22:52, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I'm working on the article as we speak, please don't tag it with CSD. I just have a bad history of my computer destroying articles unless I save them before finishing them, and I don't want to write this offline. -- Zanimum 20:21, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi Mike! I've just created a new template to indicate English Misplaced Pages user who also contribute to the Czech Misplaced Pages.

Delete?

Hi, I tidied up the SalesPathways piece, including a bit more context. I think it's a worthwhile piece, particularly for ordinary employees of firms that hire consultancies to be able to look them up somewhere more independent that the corporate website. GollyG 22:13, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Many thanks for reverting the blanking of my userpage so quickly. Kuru 23:23, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from me also

I have been marking as many of the Misplaced Pages:Dead-end pages as seemed likly to pass the test. Thanks for catching my over site on MBK Ružomberok. I had read it complaely wrong, was thinking it was about some coach (as in a person) on a win streak, instead of a club. Too many hours online I guess.

User:Big T

Hiya! I was wondering if you had a second to look into something and determine if it'd be of interest or not? I am (quite obviously) a complete newbie at wikipedia, but have been welcoming people quite a bit lately, since I was welcomed and helped so much my first few days. I'd noticed that the welcome message I left for User talk:Big T was deleted from his page and replaced with a message that could be summed as "bug off". I noticed a link to User:Bobtherandomguy in history, followed it, and notice that Bob says that User:Big T is formerly User talk:FreddySmith, who you apparently banned for repeated vandalism. Not knowing who to mention this find to, I felt I should try the admin who seems to be the most familiar with this situation (which I can only assume is you). Thanks, and have a great day!

Image:Latin alphabet Gg.svg

Hi,

You took off my speedy deletion for this image; I have put a replacement up at the commons (that was my cryptic "This is an NCT" part in the deletion reason) -- I put it as speedy because it was makign the image huge at G; I had to put in a hardocded size into the image to make it fit correctly. I was hoping if you could delete if off of en-wiki, so we can use the commons image with the same name.

Thanks. atanamir 04:18, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I've fixed g now. It's a bug with wikipedia software and SVG rednering; you have to go to the commons page for the svg and ?action=purge it until it appears (if you're using IE, press control+f5 so it bypasses the cache); then go to the wikipedia page for the same image, and action=purge that one too until it appears, then go back to the article's page and action=purge it too. It's a rather annoying bug. atanamir 19:20, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know, i've filed a bug on this a while back: , but it's gone mostly unnoticed by the wikimedia people. If you'd like to add in your comments too, maybe it'd help. It's getting really irritating because its occurence has been increasing. there's a few there that failed to fix themselves even after i action=purged them over and over aagin. atanamir 20:31, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

IFD noms

Hi Mike,

Just want to request that when you IFD an image, you should nominate the uploader per guidelines, so that the deletion can be processed fully (should there be no objection to the deletion). Thanks. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. 01:14, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

User:Tony Sidaway has again unilaterally deleted Template:User No Marxism

It looks as if some people never learn anything: the guy has deleted it again, without any discussion. (pretext:CSD T1 - as if all of those communist ones do not fall into any categories...)

I think on the basis of this arbitration decision some action can be taken. Regards, --Constanz - Talk 15:39, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Is there such a thing as multilateral speedy deletion? Anyway, said deletion took place back on April 25, and not a dog appears to have barked until now. There is precedent on deletion review for keeping anti-boxes deleted. I'm asking you to consider re-deleting the box per T1 and established DRVU consensus; otherwise I'll really have no choice but to list it there myself. Best, Mackensen (talk) 00:09, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for the bold undeletion; however, other admins seem to have completely lost their ability to think logically and draw conclusions from the facts and it seems that the admin consensus is for having tens of red userboxes (really, smth for every taste: Misplaced Pages:Userboxes/Beliefs#Political_ideologies!) and deleting the only anti-communist box for once and for all Misplaced Pages:Deletion_review/Userbox_debates#Template:User_No_Marxism. Anyway, best regards, --Constanz - Talk 06:05, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Unsigned comment by User:Z180

Dear Mike, I respect you caring about vandalism but right now you are vandalizing my articles so please stop and respect my work that I have worked years on. Thank you and I wish you the best of luck!

Restoration of T1-speedied userbox

You have restored a userbox speedied under T1, Template:User No Marxism. Why did you do that? --Tony Sidaway 00:07, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Because Constanz asked for it (see two sections above). I'm kind of surprised that Mike obliged, though. Just because a random user requests undeletion of a clearly T1 template does not mean you have to do it. And, indeed, you shouldn't! --Cyde Weys 00:27, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

The deletionist campaign intensifies even further

It looks as if most of the templates created by me happen to be T1: Template:User support minorities Iran has also been deleted as 'divisive' . Now it seems that even expressing support for minorities is 'divisive and inflammatory' ( or is it 'divisive' if someone opposes religious persecution carried out by the mullahs' regime? ). You're tired? So am I, but, alas, this is the current situation in Userbox terrain... --Constanz - Talk 11:07, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Article "Knox (animator)"

I have just visited the talk page for Knox (animator) and was fairly overwhelmed by other users who have attempted to recreate the page. The language they used was disgraceful, and I do not approve of it.

I created an article with the name "Robert Benfer (animator)" and placed relivant information (unlike the other users) about the topic in it. I noticed that you were the one who had protected the Robert Benfer articles. How can I get these articles unprotected so that they can redirect to the new article?

The protected articles is question include;

Robert Benfer Thank you for your time.

Tag Discussion Not Found

I noticed that you had tagged the article "Robert Benfer (animator)" with a nuetrality tag. Whether I beleive this or not, the dicussion it refers to is not existant.

I want to fix up the article so it can remain on Misplaced Pages. What changes do you see fit? At what point can I take down the tags?

Thanks in advance! -NoUser 14:54, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Removed the copy vio on the page. There is a release on the page in question.

I'm not sure if that releases the copyright on the information, but it certainly is not a violation. Carry on the discussion it's talk page.

PS: I don't like the page. I don't have anything invested in the page. I just moved it and cleaned it up, but it needs more work than I'm willing to give it. --Walter Görlitz 21:19, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

...Duchess of Alba report on WP:RFI

Well considering google only comes up with Misplaced Pages mirrors for both article's, I'd just stick with the original article unless a source can be confirmed to change it. Therefore delete the new one, and give the IP/username involved a warning along the lines of 'make sure you CITE sources'. Petros471 19:53, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Deleted pages

I noticed on the Pagan pages that there is a buildup of external links, so I started the Pagan Community page so that people could post links there rather than filling up the articles with links to their communities. I still feel that this is a good idea.

Stagidis

What is up exactly with the Stagidis article? I'm under the impression that you (and the other admin who's looked at it) hesitate to delete, although it is clearly vanity. I give it a few hours and then I will delete it if no "claim to fame" is added. Is that ok? Phils 12:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Deleted Barnstar graphic

Although I can see your reasoning for wanting to delete the image, as it did not have many useful purposes, I resent how you labelled it as a " 'Nazi barnstar', used for vandalism " . I am a Buddhist and, as you may or may not be aware, the swastika is a holy symbol in Buddhism and I was not, as you suggested, placing it on other users' pages for vandalism, but to spread peace and help them reach enlightenment, as I have. Hope this clears a few misunderstandings up. --Tramster 21:37, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

so why u wanna do me like that, huh?

u proposed to delete my page, Garnet Valley School District, and i am unsure why. I am in a graduate program and our assignment was to create a wiki page on the public school district in which we work. it is certainly not an advertisement, it is a site consisting of all of the schools in a particular district.

Hello, Please, take your warning off. I am working on it. It says I can remove it, so I did, BECAUSE of the fact I am fixing it.

hey wiki cop

so, i guess i've learned that creativity is not allowed on wikipedia. no problem. i was getting really tired of you wiki people deleting people's work anyway. just wondering, do you guys wear badges and carry handcuffs too?

Excuse me I'm very aware Ni is part of Uk and it was completely wrong of you to assume that I am bothered by that. My sign-in name is wikinorthernireland for gods sake!- if i was bothered by NIs place in the uk im sure i wouldn't have chosen that sign-in name! You should never try and assume any ppls views from wikipedia unless they have been explicity made. Yes Ni is part of the UK and is also part of the island of Ireland. Nobody disputes either of those facts!! - no more assumptions my friend Good luck! Wikinorthernireland 12:33, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

"Misplaced Pages is Democracy"

I can't be the only one with an itching urge to change that last link to Communism. :) æ² ✆ 2006-06-12t19:11z

==Re:User talk:Dieseldrinker==

I'm seeing a bunch of edits from User:Curps user and its companion user User:Dieseldrinker. In the revision history of pages such as Kadochnikov's Systema there are edit comments like:

Kadochnikov's Systema on 41954 wheels moved to Kadochnikov's Systema

Without any actual changes.

• This is because page moves are recorded in the page history. For example: Dieseldrinker moved "Kadochnikov's Systema" to "Kadochnikov's Systema on 41954 wheels" and Curps moved it back (undoing the vandalism). See Misplaced Pages:Long term abuse/Willy on Wheels for more details. - Mike Rosoft 10:54, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Gotcha, I didn't realise the comments were move comments, nor did I clue in on the "on wheels" part of the move comment, otherwise I think I would have understood. =) Thanks. -- Sy / 14:14, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Basque names

Hi. I noticed you'd commented on User talk:Iparragirre about that user's having moved various geographical locations to their Basque names.

Exactly why is that image inappropriate for the protest page, and why do you consider it a 'GNAA promotional'? Stanfordandson 06:33, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

A lot of images on Misplaced Pages have been photoshopped. It's useful to make them clearer, to resize them, etc., so I don't see why that could be a problem. The copyright status seems pretty clear, but folks are currently seeking clarification on that so it's a bit early to revert war remove it. The image might have been uploaded as self-promotion by the GNAA, but that doesn't automatically make it unencyclopaedic and useless on either the GNAA page or especially on unrelated pages where the caption does not at all refer to the GNAA. At the very least, it's appropriate for the protest page and, since it's consistent with the theme of the images already there, I'm still not at all sure why you insist on removing it. Please stop.

Hi there. I was recently looking at the deletion log for 2006 FIFA World Cup controversies, and I see that you deleted it on 25 June 2006: .
