May I apologize on behalf of this user, Mikedk9101, as I have had numerous problems with him. Mikedk got rid of a bunch of stuff off Mark Calaway page and upset me and was acting stubborn for a long time so excuse him. He is selfish and inconsiderate and can't help it Tonetare22:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Please excuse this user above me. He is just a user that trys to start arguments with everyone that he can. He is smart and obnoxious, and has a history of being blocked. --Mikedk910923:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

You said: "Can you please tell me how you want me to sort this problem? I found the image as part of a press pack to accompany the music video, which I assumed was allowed under "an image freely provided to promote an item, as in a promotional photo in a press packet", but as stated, I couldn't find a relevant title in the drop down menu. Thanks! ... If you've got a problem with this image, I'd like an answer how to sort it please. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to prevent it being deleted. Thanks!"
As indicated, you need a detailed fair-use rationale. The license text has a link to a page which describes this requirement in more detail. Thanks. --Yamla00:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
List of famous tall men
The ppl getting added are not notable, and some incorrect info it being added. I don't6 see you editing there unless you log out to redit thus ignoring the £RR rule yourself(Halbared14:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC))
Re: Johnny Depp
Somebody keeps deleting a very popular cult role of Depp's (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) from his notable roles, & adding a film where he has a very, very small role (Platoon) to replace it. I just keep reverting it back to what is sufficient for a notable roles section. I'm doing nothing wrong. It sounds childish to say "he did it first!," but the section was stable for a while before whoever keeps changing it began to. So, if you wanna get technical, "they started it." I don't believe an edit should be kept in "fairness" if it's an absolutely absurd, completely untrue personal bias (in this case, just because this person loves Platoon doesn't make a two minute role "notable" to an actor with as varied & popular a career as Depp). ―Anthonylombardi00:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
You left the first message to me on my account when I was signed out, as an anonymous user, complaining about me reverting the notable roles on Johnny Depp's page. Just letting you know I'm doing nothing wrong. Anthonylombardi10:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
"Admitted?" I'm not conceding to a crime here, I wasn't purposely signing out - I simply wasn't signed in & forgot to do so. My internet browser normally has me automatically signed in to all my accounts, & I was having a problem with my browser, & I was unaware that I wasn't signed in. I wasn't intentionally signing out to undo edits; rather, my browser gave me problems & I was fixing edits that were personally biased (against the neutral point of view rule).

Lieutenant Dol Green's ramblings
Conrad Goode is an actor. You can get informations about him, go to www.imdb.com and get informations about conrad goode. if you want to remove famous men from the list of famous tall men then enter my talk page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) 16:10, 6 September 2006.
I'm just a new user here and I would like to list Conrad Goode to the list of famous tall men, maybe you can halp me a little bit if there is something dangerous but I want to list him to the list of famous tall men. And this is certainly not a vandalism. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) 09:11, 7 September 2006.
Victor's current height is 6'6", please do not list him as 6'5" in the list of famous tall men, otherwise you are vandalizing this page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) 12:19, 7 October 2006.
OK, I'm going to edit this article and I'll find more informations about him, but please don't remove him then. He is one of my favourite actors. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) 13:28, 8 October 2006.
Yes I have many sources about his height and I added more informations to his page NOW! So please, be so nice and do not remove him anymore. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
I see that you've removed Victor Williams again. Now I'm telling you something. The list of famous tall men from Misplaced Pages.org is not only your side. If you continue removing famous actors from the list of famous tall men, then be blocked from editing wikipedia. OK?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
You've also removed Conrad Goode. So please give me advices, what shall I add to them? I want to add them to the list, because these two actors are famous. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
I'm a King of Queens Fan and that's the reason why I want to add Victor Williams. I watched The New Guy and Don't say any Word, where Conrad Goode joins these films. And I've added informations to them, but you've deleted these infos. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
Next weekend I will add more informations to Victor Williams and Conrad Goode. First enter my talk page if you want to remove the informations. Thanks —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
I'm sorry for using other IP adresses. I've forgoten to sign my signature. The fact is that I have some computers in my school and I used them for writing mails to the wikipedia users. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
Stop! Removing messages is against the Misplaced Pages rules. One more time and I have to inform administrator Marudubshinki about that matter. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
I think we have to end our discussion! The problem was that I thought, you were removing other celebrities from the list of famous tall men. Next time, give me an information if you remove someone because I didn't know that Kevin Durand was considered for deletion. I thought you were vandalizing this page. Don't lay in on me, think of your behavior! Lieutenant Dol Grenn08:07, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
I think that the word gambling is unfriendly and that you should change it. Normally, personal attacks and unfriendliness are against the Misplaced Pages rules. Just leave me alone! Lieutenant Dol Grenn11:02, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
First of all, you also blank my talk page and I can clear your commands whenever I want!!! You should study the Misplaced Pages rules again because you are certainly not a person who accepts the Misplaced Pages rules. Beside this, I don't have to take any offendings from you because I didn't have problems with other users except with you. I had normal discussions with several users, you are the worst provokating user. I'm beginning to get fed up with you! Every time you leave commands on my talk page, I'll ignore them, if there are any discriminaions I'll have to continue to inform several administrators and then you'll be banned from Misplaced Pages, that means you'll be OFF!!! Just stay away from me and you won't have any further problems, is that so difficult???!!! It seems you are 13 or 14 years old, because you enjoy that quarrel with me! I repeat: If you don't stop terrorizising me, you will be banned!!! And this was my last commands on your talk page, because I don't have to waste time for guys like you anymore. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lieutenant Dol Grenn (talk • contribs) .
If you look at our guideline on reliable sources, it says that Misplaced Pages is not a reliable site because 1) anyone can edit it and 2) we don't have pre-publication fact-checking mechanisms. The same is true of celebhieghts, so it is also not a reliable source, and shouldn't be used to support anything. DXRAW21:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Inless that site removes the unsourced heights or cites every single height then its not a WP:RS. DXRAW06:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Shawn Michaels
So let me get this right, your saying this is a current event, so it isnt notable. It is, how about the Unforgiven bit? Thats not nearly as important. The people in Montreal have been booing Michaels for 9 years. They decided not to boo him. I say thats more significant than some Hell in a Cell match. So, it needs to stay. Thanks. --Mikedk910900:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
It doesn't matter if its not world wide news. Its still important to this article. And PPV's arent notable by nature. People just think they are such a big deal and are a must have in every wrestling article. --Mikedk910900:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
I don't argue over everything. This is notable. Besides, I would expect this from an ignorant user who only has 169 edits. And thinks they know everything about Misplaced Pages, and wrestling articles. --Mikedk910900:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
I didn't say I was Mr. Popular. I'm not on here to make friends. You don't know anything about my past business and it's harldy anything aobut some hissy fits why I left WP. You don't have any reason to keep deleting that except that you say its "non notable". I will continue to put it in. --Mikedk910922:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
Ian Thorpe
Why have you removed Ian Thorpe . He is 6ft 5 and size 17 feet. He is probably the most famous swimmer in the world. PLease don't remove it. Google him type Ian Thorpe 6ft and it will show you. Ernst Stavro Blofeld18:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Birth date and age template (Naomi Watts)
You said that this template has no point. I believe it does.
My reasoning for using it is as follows:
While editors may think that it's simple math that anyone can do on their own, the truth is many adults cannot easily do the math. I know several who would have to think about it.
It makes an infobox, which is basically a quick reference, even quicker to use.
It does no harm. Not very much space is taken up by "(age:XX)".
It automatically links the date so that user preferences display the date correctly.
The template has already survived a nomination for deletion and passed by an overwhelming majority. I'm aware that it's not in WikiProject:Biographies but that doesn't mean that it's pointless.
