Elevenses.jpg

Hello East718, i notice you have deleted my recent image upload. Can I ask on what grounds? I have been given permission from the copyright holder. Do I need to show evidence for this or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voncrass (talk • contribs) 00:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

That shouldn't be a problem, I already have his permission. So how do I go about getting licensing, is there some procedure to follow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voncrass (talk • contribs) 00:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:VictoriaV07.jpg

Hi, I'm requesting that you restore Image:VictoriaV07.jpg. I propose to use this in Seras Victoria. It was used there previously, but was replaced with fan art (Image:Seras 16-1.jpg) of the character. Since both are non-free, I think the picture used in the work itself better illustrates the character. Thanks, --Phirazo 01:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! --Phirazo 01:04, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Zuoken

Hello! :) Late last year, Zuoken was proposed for deletion. Five days passed and no one contested it, so you deleted the article as expected. In retrospect, I feel someone should have merged and/or redirected the article to List of Greyhawk deities. After the fact, I decided to create a redirect anyway. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? If you agree, you can obliterate the current edit history, or just add it to the original edit history. Thanks, BOZ (talk) 02:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

You're awesome, thanks! :) BOZ (talk) 02:37, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Template: Country data Greece

Hello! As you protected the template from edits, could you please replace the flags for the parameters royal and royalnavy, with Image:Hellenic Kingdom Flag 1935.svg and Image:Hellenic Naval Ensign 1935.svg respectively? These are both better and more accurate versions. Thank you and cheers, Cplakidas (talk) 11:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

User:ComputerGuy890100/Cabals

Why did you delete something on my userspace without premission? — ComputerGuy890100What I've done to help Misplaced Pages 15:47, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Why did you delete it at all? There was no need to delete it and consensus of the Misplaced Pages community was to keep it. — BQZip01 —  20:54, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, there may have been some conflict, but the discussion at WP:ANI was almost strictly amongst admins. No outside input seems to have been elicited (i.e. "A page in your user space has been nominated for deletion..." or anything along those lines. With contrary inputs from a large portion of the community (2 admins vs. ~20 users), I do not believe you should have initiated such an action, at least without some discussion from the Misplaced Pages Community. I've noticed a recent spat of "This is not productive and should be deleted" mentality across Misplaced Pages where the harm is nonexistent and the time wasted defending such spurious request is problematic (I'm NOT saying this is the case here, but that this is where I am coming from). I humbly request that the deleted pages simply be put up for discussion at WP:MfD where wider community input can be assessed; I think that is only fair. — BQZip01 —  04:44, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Revert script

Unapproved bot added lots of poorly formed links per Misplaced Pages:Administrators'_noticeboard#ANI_is_locked, you got a script that can fix that? MBisanz 16:24, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

When list1 and list2 are eventually created (going on 100 hours and I'm only at Album covers, but eh), where will they drop to? Directory or wiki? MBisanz 05:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Well right now its showing a consistent 50% CPU usage and a 146MB memory footprint, out of 2,667MB available. Until it hits like 250MB, I'm not that concerned about system stability. MBisanz 20:06, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Wtf did you delete my pictures for?

I have permission to use these pics pal! Why the fuck did you delete them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mneb430 (talk • contribs)

I GOT PERMISSION!

Ok I apologise for cursing and being rude the first time. I have gotten permission from the person who took those pictures. His name is John Gregorio. He posted it at TNR Total Nonstop Racing a Nascar Racing 2003 league I race in. It wil make the page look alot niceer with these logos. I think you should reconsider the deletion of Amp_Can.JPG and Amp_Lineup.jpg. Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mneb430 (talk • contribs) 02:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

how does he get it licensed?

how does he get the picture licensed? just email me permission? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mneb430 (talk • contribs) 02:43, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

he sent you an email

he sent you an email. Will you restore the images now and put them on the Amp Misplaced Pages page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mneb430 (talk • contribs) 02:56, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks I appreciate your help.

User:Basketball110/Mr. Potato Head Cabal/Fun facts challenge

You should not have deleted User:Basketball110/Mr. Potato Head Cabal/Fun facts challenge, it encouraged research to write and expand articles. The Potato Head cabal in general was helpful to wikipedia unlike the other cabals that were deleted.--Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 22:02, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Mellow

Could you please restore: Harsh their mellow, Harshing my mellow, Harshing your mellow, Harshing one's mellow, Harshing ones mellow, Harshing my mellow, Harshing his mellow, Harshing her mellow? Thanks. --evrik  23:26, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks. Some admins like to be asked first before an editor goes elsewhere, that's why I asked you. Thanks again! --evrik  17:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

ANI discussion

Please have a look at this ANI thread, relating to a load of CSD I1 deletions of {{vva}}-tagged files you did earlier.--Nilfanion (talk) 00:06, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

By the way, sorry if you feel that you should have been contacted before the ANI thread. However, I don't really think that your actions (or Wizardman's or whoever else hit the delete button) were wrong; which is why I went straight there as opposed to to you first.--Nilfanion (talk) 11:59, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

PayPay draft

can you check the draft i wrote. Would it be acceptable? Thanks --AndreYoung (talk) 12:22, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

I've added some references and more information. --AndreYoung (talk) 15:12, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
If moneybookers article which is for a long time (right at the beginning) with no sources or references still on wikipedia(wasn't deleted) and acceptable I think that my article is sufficient too. --AndreYoung (talk) 22:58, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
It wasn't deleted,and i see that some articles may advertise as long as they want, some articles are deleted next day...

--AndreYoung (talk) 10:05, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

No, this is not i want, delete some article.. I just want to know if the rules are the same for everyone, that's all. Thanks --AndreYoung (talk) 09:09, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

When you delete a page, there isn't a protect tab to use, as far as I can see - please advise further Jimfbleak (talk) 12:26, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

What is the problem?. I am going to restore the image now. Please discuss any proposed deletion. Bob BScar23625 (talk) 16:45, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

East718. No, I didn't take the picture myself. It was taken and circulated by a Zimbabwe civil rights group. They won't raise any copyright issues, believe me. Bob BScar23625 (talk) 17:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Josiah leming deletion-Want Josiah Leming page

I want a Josiah Leming page.

I was aware that a while back that it was up for discussion, but since the page was available whenever I checked, I thought that the discussion had ended in favor of having a Josiah Leming page. I attended a week long conference away from the internet and find I missed the discussion during that time frame. If I could have been allowed to participate, I would have strongly favored keeping a Josiah Leming page.

A dedicated Josiah Leming page was useful to me and represented what I liked about Misplaced Pages, which was popular, current, and hot topics that are in a process of change so that it is worth my time to check the Misplaced Pages page from time to time. Historical and demographic information that is fairly static is easy enough to find from other sources. If I have to dig through another page to find information about Josiah Leming then that also defeats the purpose of Misplaced Pages being quick and easy to use versus another source. Without a page like a Josiah Leming page being available, Misplaced Pages is too much like the competition and frankly is not much use to me.

Watching someone who has great potential launch a career with a fascinating background story, this is the point in the time of someone’s life that I find most interesting, compared to years later when I have heard the same facts over and over again. Also he is someone young who has experienced more than average several lifetimes. He also was a very controversial cut on the most popular television show currently. I find him to be fascinating and notable. He has that “it factor”.

Glancing at the list of other topics that are still waiting to be included, I am wondering if there is a snob factor toward popular culture or at the very least, a gap between the decision makers who decide what is notable versus other segments of the population. I do wish that the decision makers at Misplaced Pages had a wider understanding of what different groups in the population find to be notable.

I do comprehend that Misplaced Pages is overwhelmed with requests for topics, but I have little interest in most of the other pages offered by Misplaced Pages. Frankly, I am enough of a data geek that I don’t really need Misplaced Pages to find information. Misplaced Pages was mostly a nice starter page to move on to more detailed sites or in the case of Josiah Leming, a nice page to find quick and timely information that was also abbreviated enough that I found comfortable enough to refer to other people.

I understand that you were following policy, specifically deletion policy. I have a master’s degree in public policy and years of government experience dealing with policies. However, I have policies of my own and I will maintain a personal policy of boycotting all other Misplaced Pages pages until a Josiah Leming page exists again.

If Josiah Leming is not notable enough for Misplaced Pages policies, then Misplaced Pages is not notable enough for me to use. By having policies that excludes a page such as Josiah Leming, then I am obviously not the intended audience for the current Misplaced Pages anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapbox0916 (talk • contribs) 21:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Elisa's awards

You indicated in the deletion summary of User:ElisaEXPLOSiON/Awards it is a "talk page of an indefinately blocked user," yet Elisa is only blocked for 2 weeks. Cheers, Basketball110  Talk  03:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Good catch... I will be restoring those shortly... but I have a question I've been meaning to ask you for a while. Can you explain why you operate an abusive alternate account - one that you've vandalized administrators' userpages with? east.718 at 03:09, April 5, 2008
Two months, likely to be upped to indefinte shortly per consensus if I judge community sentiment about making physical threats and gross personal attacks with sockpuppets correctly. Daniel (talk) 03:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
What? Basketball110  Talk  03:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Please don't lie. This account is unquestionably you - and the only reason I haven't disclosed it publicly is to protect your own privacy. All I'm looking for is an explanation. east.718 at 03:12, April 5, 2008
Elisa used sockpuppets to make physical threats and gross personal attacks. Daniel (talk) 03:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
This is for East718, not Daniel, sorry if I made that unclear from the beginning. Can I see a link or something? Basketball110  Talk  03:15, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Special:Contributions/removed. You vandalized CBM's userpage just 25 minutes after he called you out for canvassing regarding userspace games. east.718 at 03:18, April 5, 2008
Perhaps I'd lost my cool at the time, but I don't remember doing that. Basketball110  Talk  03:19, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
You say "I don't remember doing that" like it wasn't you, but this IP address is obviously yours. Then you say you "lost your cool," come on, that's no excuse! I have very little tolerance for people who abuse multiple accounts to avoid scrutiny or segregate bad edits they don't want associated with them - usually I end up blocking them forever. Tell me, why should you be different? east.718 at 03:24, April 5, 2008
I didn't say it ("I don't remember doing that") as if the IP isn't mine. As you can see, I have made edits on that IP. I said that as if I didn't remember making that edit. Maybe I did. I don't really remember, and that's the truth. And your recent comment reminds me of someone pushing me off of a cliff. Basketball110  Talk  03:29, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
You still haven't attempted to explain anything beyond "I don't remember it." And I'm not looking to block you here either, that would be pretty lame nine days after the fact. I'm just trying to pick your brain. :-) east.718 at 03:37, April 5, 2008
Pick away. Also, do you change your signature every 5 minutes? Basketball110  Talk  03:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, Basketball110 could have siblings and networked computers that use the same IP. Especially if a home-brewed server is incorporated, in which case only the sever's IP would only be reported. Additionally, if the service provider doesn't provide a static IP (ie. DialUP, Municipal WIFI, or in rarity DSL), then the IP could easily be that of another's or an entire group.

I'm not in Saint Louis. Basketball110  Talk  03:45, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
I would like to ask you a question myself: If you get mad at another administrator on Misplaced Pages again, will you use a sock to vandalize their page? --Chetblong/Sign 03:47, 5 April 2008 (UTC)


'Again?' You are implying that I vandalized the page? In any case, no. Basketball110  Talk  03:48, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I thought we just solved that problem with numerous answers! RC-0722 /1 03:53, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
What? Basketball110  Talk  03:55, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
(reply to above) removed's headquarters are in St. Louis, but your IP address goes to removed, which is around removed. And no, you're not running a server (I checked), and you have a long-term IP lease. So let's stop insulting my intelligence and quit pretending that you didn't do this, kthx? I know how it goes. You got pissed at CBM for putting your name in his mouth and wanted to show him what's good. You logged out and blanked his userpage to get a rush thinking nobody would know. Well, I did and we're here. Got some better answers? east.718 at 03:56, April 5, 2008
"Insulting your intelegence" Huh? How? Also, there is no way to tell if one has a long term IP lease unless you happen to have checked with the DynDNS registetry or equivilant service. RC-0722 /1 04:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
(ec)I ran my own traceroute and it shows its linked to a static IP in the state of removed. Personally, I think East is going easy on you. MBisanz 04:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
First, what is "kthx?" Basketball110  Talk  04:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
A) "kthx" is "K thanks" B) IP address tracers aren't that accurate, as I did mine and it said I lived in Dayton, OH. RC-0722 /1 04:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Picking at my brain usually doesn't make me shake all over. Do you do this to everyone, or did I walk into the wrong bar? Basketball110  Talk  04:11, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually, East is one of the nicer admins whose less likely to block first and then ask questions. I can think of half a dozen admins who would've indef blocked as soon as they saw the connection. The fact he's giving you a chance to admit what happened, apologize and move on is rather impressive to me. MBisanz 04:16, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for that word of encouragment. The fact is that I don't remember vandalizing that page (now with all this, I'm convinced I did). I probably did, but I don't particularly remember it. But if you were in my position (I'm not just talking about the allegations of canvassing) I would bet a lot of money that you would have done the same thing, if not worse. I apologize. Two things though... it's actually removed, not removed. And you didn't answer my sig question, East. Ladies and gentlemen of Misplaced Pages (half of which are watch this, or I feel that way)... pick away. Basketball110  Talk  04:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Another non-apology apology... sigh... I don't even know why I'm chasing this since I'm not going to block you - that would not be a good look so late. And no, most people wouldn't have done worse. They would have participated in a civil conversation with the user in question, or asked for assistance if they felt backed down for some reason. I'm obviously trying to squeeze blood from a stone here, so I won't pursue this any further. Oh, and my sig is magic. east.718 at 04:28, April 5, 2008
For personal reasons, i'm not going to tell you what they are, but under conditions, you would have, believe me. Basketball110  Talk  04:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
East being one of the nicer admins isn't the issue. The matter is is that he has accused Basketball110 of being a sockpuppet and essentially a vandal. Now, we given several answers and none of them were taken seriously and were considered an insult upon his intelligence. RC-0722 /1 04:23, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
East718, Since Basketball110 has apologized I recommend you remove this post from your talk page since it includes personal information. Thank you.--Uga Man (talk) UGA MAN FOR PRESIDENT 2008 04:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Done. east.718 at 04:44, April 5, 2008
For anyone who comes across this discussion at a later date and wishes to investigate and analyse the edit in question, it was made to User:CBM on March 26, 2008. Daniel (talk) 05:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
That vandalism is not confirmed. RC-0722 /1 13:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes it is. Are you saying that it isn't vandalism? Daniel (talk) 14:04, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
No, I am saying that it isn't confirmed that Basketball110 did it. RC-0722 /1 14:09, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
STOP IT! I did it. I even said so. Block me forever if you must, just quit arguing! Basketball110  Talk  14:13, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
(edit conflict) An IP who is quite obviously his vandalized CBM's userpage just 25 minutes after CBM called him out for canvassing regarding userspace games. There is significant evidence to the contrary, especially given the IP isn't shared. Daniel (talk) 14:14, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Quick memo

Just a heads-up: I just unprotected a page you'd locked in December 2007 over an OTRS complaint. Hopefully the article can now be worked on constructively, but obviously you know more about the circumstances than I do, so if there's a reason why it needs to stay protected, feel free to reprotect.

Martha Logan Image

Regarding this, could you restore the image? I'm now (as of today) the WikiProject 24 Co-ordinatior, and one of my aims is to write proper NFCC rationales for these images. Could you restore the image and whatever rationale there was? I will write a proper rationale straight away. Cheers, Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 20:08, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Does this rationale look OK? I've never been tagged by BetaCommandBot, i just want to be 100% sure it's OK. Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 20:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Heh, thanks. I feel I'm good at rationales. If you see any more 24 images up for deletion due to rationale issues, could you message me? And I'll fix it myself. Steve Crossin (talk) (anon talk) 20:25, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Program

Well, my program was deleted. Do you think I could at least keep the classroom? Any comments?--RyRy5 23:29, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

The answer is no. This is for two reasons: it was part of your adoption program, which has been deleted by fiat of the community, and because it suffered from the same problems pointed out in the MFD; namely too much red tape and too little good advice being given out. east.718 at 23:36, April 5, 2008
Well, it will be different. If it sounds or looks almost the same, you can delete it, or someone else can instead. You don't have to accept. But I at least need something to teach my adoptees. I have depleted my adoptees to only 1-3, so it won't be very active. Can I at least give an example of the classroom?--RyRy5 23:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Why do you need a special page to help people out? Is there some deficiency in the functionality of talk pages? east.718 at 23:45, April 5, 2008
I plan to have a page where my adoptees can have goals to accoplish. For Example,1 week:make 50 mainspace edits. It is an easier way of remembering if there is a special page.--RyRy5 23:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
Goals are a bad thing. This isn't a game where you go "I made fifty edits, I'm up to level three!" or "I reverted a vandal, I got ten points! Look at me, I killed the bad guy!!!" - it's an encyclopedia where you participate at your own pace. east.718 at 00:05, April 6, 2008
Ok, I won't create it. I appreciate you trying to help me. Thanks! Do you have any comments?--RyRy5 00:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Going out of your way to help other users out is a very admirable thing, and something you should continue doing. However, please make sure that the advice you are giving is good - if you're at all unsure, run questions by a more knowledgeable user you're on good terms with. east.718 at 00:48, April 6, 2008
I have been doing that. I have been mainly asking User:Jj137. I hope you'll come visit my new userpage when it's created. Cheers & thank you.RyRy5 00:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
I think East would rather go to the new article page when you create it. Hint, maybe? Daniel (talk) 00:55, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I think that User:RyRy5/Tests is part of the adoption program, I suppose that it should be deleted like the others. Cenarium 01:52, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Gone. Thanks for the heads up. east.718 at 07:17, April 6, 2008

Another Adoption Program

In light of your closing of RyRy5's adoption extravaganza, do you think User:Diligent Terrier/Adoption Program is kosher? It was created during the discussion on RyRy5's (just a day after Diligent Terrier voted "speedy keep" on it). Metros (talk) 04:26, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/User:Diligent Terrier/Adoption Program. dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 04:53, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, the timeline is a bit fishy. I might be able to get away with killing that unilaterally, but would have to deal with DRV, which would inevitably lead to an overturn and relisting at MFD and so on... :-) The other thing is that it doesn't appear to suffer from excessive red tape just yet, but we'll just see where it goes. MFD seems like the best and most painless option for now. east.718 at 07:16, April 6, 2008

Oucho.png

01:44, 5 April 2008 East718 deleted "Image:Oucho.png" ‎(CSD I5: Non-free image that was not used for more than seven days) There were 2 tags on this image as you may remember. The fact that the image was unused is obviously subsidiary to the non-free point, as it was under the non-free claim that it was removed from Ed Petrie by Islander, and also the "not used" tag carried a later date (it said the image would be deleted after 5 April - a day later) What's the rationale, and in any case shouldn't the image talk page remain. Thanks for any help Damson88 (talk) 16:47, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Kristoffer "Garm" Rygg picture deletion

Hey!! I'm too lazy to read ALL the rules around here, so maybe I'm missing another point. However, the Rygg's photo I posted over here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Kristoffer_Rygg is a photo that I took and that belongs to me. If you believe that I can't show it there, fine. But just wanted to give you the heads up.

Miletich Fighting Systems-Status Update

What is the status of the article and, more importantly, why exactly was it placed back under full-protection when it was reduced to semi-protection a while back. There are good edits that can improve that page that are being placed on hold while we wait. I feel that if there are further difficulties agreeing on what should be done with the page, then it can at least be discussed openly on the talk page. Thanks for hearing me out.Unak78 (talk) 14:29, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks for the quick response. I was unaware of the legal issues concerning the Miletich camp so I'm interested in researching it. On another note here is a transcript of my proposed changes:
    • Request that article Miletich Fighting Systems (IFL camp) as an extension of the existing article. Concensus was previously reached in the discussion for the proposed merger for two other articles of the same nature. The discussion is being archived and can be seen on the IFL Talk Page. Due to the current state of this article I did not include it in the merger discussion but the same caveats that applied to the two articles in question also apply here. In addition the code with whicj the article's main logo is displayed has also changed. Example of the requested changes are as follows with a merge/redirect link from the IFL article:

New design

Hi, I think you remember me. Well, come look at my newly designed userspace! (Don't worry, I'v been focusing on mainspace edits)--RyRy5 01:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Any comments? Also, I noticed this. Maybe you/I should MFD it if it goes to far like mine. Not that I'm jealous, it's just that I don't want the same thing to happen again. Thanks.--RyRy5 01:47, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Could Image:Oysterfestival.jpg please be restored for use in the Norwalk Oyster Festival article? 67.86.73.252 (talk) 04:57, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi! I've restored the image, do with it what you want. :-) east.718 at 01:06, April 8, 2008
Thank you very much for the restoration. 67.86.73.252 (talk) 01:11, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

tiananment square

the style guide you refer to makes an exception for temporary NPOV templates; indeed, it's why we see NPOV templates at all! Could you put my edition to a vote, since it is very pertinent, and doesn't violate the no disclaimer style guide. (read especially the end of that guide)

Imagine if no one in Australia could edit the Sydney article! While that is true, the article should certainly reflect it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.122.97.186 (talk) 12:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

The template you put on top of the article wasn't a template about an NPOV dispute, but a disclaimer. While your intent was admirable, it's just silly to go around slapping these things on articles - you wouldn't put a messagebox on top of ass to mouth that it might be blocked at some workplaces, would you? east.718 at 01:06, April 8, 2008

Username block of yours from about a week ago, currently requesting unblocking. Possibly there was some mudkip-themed attack going on at the time, or something else, but if not I'd kinda like to try a trial unblock and see how things go. Thoughts? – Luna Santin (talk) 20:35, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I just stopped to know one thing that myspace is used in multiple articles as external link. I am confused if it should be used. Per WP:EL, Myspace should be avoided. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 20:41, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Lipodissolve/Injection Lipolysis wiki

Dear East718:

All has been quiet in SockPuppet land on the Injection Lipolysis wiki . . . . until recently.

I have a COI, so I should/will not remove the recent anonymous (IP address only) edit to the wiki. That said, the recent edit is clearly biased, so in the event you were still watching the wiki, I thought I would point it out.

The previously rampant SockPuppetry on that wiki has largely subsided because the two organizations that were responsible went out of business. But some stragglers remain.

Thanks!

Agincourtboy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.94.56.203 (talk) 11:59, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

If you come across an edit like that that obviously runs afoul of our neutrality policy, you can remove it regardless of any conflict of interest you might have. east.718 at 01:25, April 11, 2008

Really fast

I'm over halfway done with Fairuse in under 8 hours! This is awesome and my processor hasn't gone on strike. Thanks for the quick recode. MBisanz 12:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Just wondering..

Sometimes I wiki stuff here and even though I don't edit using my IP address I was just wondering why while when I was looking at articles and editors and went to http://en.wikipedia.org/search/title=User_talk:East718&action=edit it gave me : You are currently unable to edit pages on Misplaced Pages. etc. etc. etc. The block is set to expire: 01:24, 10 April 2008.

I don't really care about that, but then when I went to: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:East718&action=edit and got the same thing except-you are currently unable to edit pages on Misplaced Pages. the instructions provided in the "additional information" section below.. The block is set to expire: 00:00, 1 June 2008.

I use this account to edit, and I don't care that my IP address is now blocked from editing, but I was just wondering if you knew why the two block dates were different Stot (talk) 01:46, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Please do not delete the Image. Just wait for 2 minutes. I am providing the fair use license.Kensplanet (talk) 05:56, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I can't type that fast

I know speedy is quick but deleting the image before I've even finished editing the page and not giving me even a couple of minutes to remove the speedy delete template and add the affirmation that the author is currently completing the GFDL form letter is a bit too quick....johnmark† 14:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

thanks for the comment. Also I didn't realise I had taken the links out of my signature - it may explain why bots have been following me and adding 'unsigned comments added by user ...'etc when I had already signed them - the bots must look for the links, rgds johnmark†talk to me 22:59, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Image:114th Reactivated.png

I do not understand why this image that I recently uploaded was removed. The image was scanned from a signed copy of the published book that was written by my wife's great grandfather and handed down to her. The scan is of an actual document that was issued Jan 10th, 1969. --Mrxaero (talk) 22:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate block

You chose to indefinitely block User:FlagTheError. I previously alerted you to avoid biting the newbies and that this user is not a sock of mine and lives a long distance from me. There is some discussion of this here and here. Can you consider fixing this, though this user is quite discouraged. DanaUllman 04:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I was going to give some good faith to Flagtheerror about how to avoid further blocks, and how to convince East718 to unblock him, but when I was still starting to write the comment I looked at the time of the block and I loled --Enric Naval (talk) 13:28, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Enric, East718 will tell you that I emailed him on April 3rd shortly after FlagTheError alerted me to the block. I realize now that I should have just posted the comment at East's user page so that we could have avoid Enric's hyper-suspicious remarks where he again tries to throw mud at me...but throwing mud is getting him more and more dirty. I also alerted Flagtheerror to say that s/he could email East718 directly, though this newbie didn't know how to do that. DanaUllman 13:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Dana, I think you should ignore this situation. Let the user request unblock on their own, and stop taking the bait. Jehochman 14:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, I wasn't throwing mud at you, Dana, and sorry if I unadvertingly BAITed you. At the end, I just left some good faith advice on Flagtheerror's talk page to help him getting unblocked, since he can perfectly be just a good faith editor unrelated to you that wants to defend your reputation for some reason. East718 has more experience and has all the information, so I am sure that he can clear this and guide Flag on getting himself unblocked. --Enric Naval (talk) 18:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

colonelalexandercampbellofpossil.jpg & mrsalexandercampbellofpossil.jpg

Hello Esat718. You have accidentally deleted these 2 images. They are perfectly legal to upload here (I am a lawyer) as they are out of copyright as the artist has died a long time ago (Sir Henry Raeburn) please put them back on in the next 10mins or I shall do so. Thank you for your concern.

Thank you for blocking User:64.230.6.132. They were vandalising my user pages. I hope they are really blocked. Thanks, Gaia Octavia Agrippa | C 12:16, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

ElisaEXPLOSiON

When do you plan to restore Elisa's award, userbox, and guestbook page? Basketball110 23:53, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

When she's unblocked? dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 00:41, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Yea, 2 months for obvious socking and continuing to deny it is extremely generous to begin with. If/when she comes back after the block, we could discuss restoring them. MBisanz 00:50, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Request

I'm a Sysop on another wiki and I know, being an admin, that it's possible to access any version of a deleted image. Anyways, I was wondering if you could somehow retrieve an image that you've deleted (File:Imageboards.PNG). I'm not asking for a restoration; I'm planning to take the image and use the picture on one of our articles. Perhaps we could workout some sort of rapidshare/megaupload transfer so I could download it myself.

Something tells me that you'd decline, though. I'd appreciate it if you'll help. DiamondDragon talk 02:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Abarenbo Shogun

Hi East718, Noticed you deleted the old Talk page for an article I started long ago. Wondering if there was anything worth merging into Talk:Abarenbō Shōgun. Fg2 (talk) 03:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! Fg2 (talk) 08:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Request for undeletion

Hi East718, COuld you please undelete my file IAMsvsGCMs.png? I had just added a "hangon" tag and was about to add a "fairuse" tag, but was unable to because the page had been deleted. I believe the image was in agreement with the copyright statement http://www.occ.gov.uk/copyright.htm and Misplaced Pages's Non-free content policies. It was taking longer than a few minutes to add the fair use tag because the link http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Non-free_content#Tagging_fair_use_image_files links to part of the page that is no longer there. Thanks. Woood (talk) 04:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Request for Speedy Deletion

http://en.wikipedia.org/Amy_Lynn_Best

Could you please delete this article?

Reason for deletion: "blantant advertising".

A template that was uncontested for five days has been on this wiki page. Like the Mike Watt page you deleted, this page also is used by the same author to blantantly advertise his amateur acting/writing career.

Kingston Canadian Film Festival

Hello East718! :) In December last year, the page for the Kingston Canadian Film Festival was proposed for deletion. You deleted it after five days, as was expected. I feel someone should have contested it because only last month the festival held its 8th annual celebration as the biggest festival for Canadian-only films. I was disappointed to not find it listed here and I would appreciate knowing the reasons why it was deleted. If the reasons were content related, would it be possible to restore the page so that I might try and improve the article? I can easily find reputable websites referencing the festival. Thank you! --Count3d (talk) 08:28, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletion log

What is all this stuff and why is it showing up in my watch list? Baseball Bugs 11:48, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

What do you mean by "unnecessary" talk pages? The pages that showed up in my watch list are now red-link talk pages on actual articles. What did you do? Baseball Bugs 11:57, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I see what it is. You deleted content from talk pages that are redirects, such as this. But if there is discussion on those pages, why would you delete it? Baseball Bugs 11:58, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I don't get it. If there is content on those talk pages, it should stay. And if there isn't content, there's nothing to delete. Please explain. Or can you give me an example of one you're about to delete and haven't yet, so I can understand? Baseball Bugs 12:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
OK, I see. When a page is moved, the talk content moves with it, leaving a redirect from the article (which makes sense) and a redirect from the talk page (which is "not needed", for reasons you've stated). Roger. Carry on. :) Baseball Bugs 12:12, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Deletions of old talk pages

I have noticed that you delete "old" (say 22 days old) talk pages. Does it correspond an official WP policy? I would like to ask you not to do this, as many articles and their talk pages are rarely edited, but the talks are still very relevant. If you want to save some space, could you please archive the talk pages instead? Thank you. Biophys (talk) 12:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, that's O'K. Now I see what you are doing. Thanks.Biophys (talk) 12:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

deleted orphaned redirect talk pages

I'm not sure if you are doing this manually or using a bot of some sort, but if its a manual method, you should know that there are probably several hundred of these in the unit articles within the Military History Project. This happened when the project adopted a new naming convention.--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 12:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

How does a bot like that work if you don't mind me asking?--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 12:29, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Ahhh, I should have known...the old "friend with access to the toolserver" trick ;o) Cheers--mrg3105 (comms) ♠♥♦♣ 12:49, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Incoming links to talk page redirects

Re: this. There are still some incoming links to some of the talk page redirects you are deleting. Not many, and not very important ones (many are links to bot-generated lists), but referring to them as "orphaned" is not strictly correct. Also, redirects are cheap. Will deleting 35,000 redirects actually help? Carcharoth (talk) 12:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Example: Talk:Hetmans of Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. I just moved the page yesterday & it still has a few links. So it also fails the "week old" test. Renata (talk) 13:02, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Unauthorised adminbot?

I just tried to post a message here laying out irrefutable evidence that you're running an adminbot on this account. Ended up in an edit conflict with mrg3105. Following the thread led me to where you openly state on mrg3105's talk page that you're running a bot on your account to delete pages.

I don't understand. When last I checked, running an unauthorised adminbot on your admin account was about as forbidden as it gets. Grounds for an emergency desysop even. Has the bot policy changed? Have you actually been given permission to run an adminbot on your account?

Hesperian 12:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Please stop the bot

East, could you please stop the bot as there are enough people objecting now that this needs to be discussed. It should have been discussed beforehand, of course, so please let me know where the discussion is. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 12:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
