Picture Added 2009 US Open

Hello, I went and verified your image to be correct CC-BY, which is legal to use on wikipedia, and good job about getting the best resolution! I will and would appreciate it in the future if you would use the flickr upload bot at Wikimedia Commons, which can be done in Firefox browser. I think you might like this url Creative Commons, and go click on search! I think you would be good to find us some more pictures if you are up to it or not, I appreciate what you have already contributed! GOOD JOB LITTLE PROF!TW-RF (talk) 02:11, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Unblock request

{{unblock|My work IP (194.176.105.40) seems to be blocked even for logged in users. I work at a large organization so its inevitable that there will have been a lot of abuse from this ip. Could I get an exemption for my particular login? I've been a Wikipedian for many years, and not caused trouble (well, not that much anyway)}} Little Professor (talk) 13:40, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s): I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in. Please read the page Misplaced Pages:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions. Note in particular that you are not permitted to use this newly-granted right to edit Misplaced Pages via anonymous proxies, or disruptively. If you do, or there is a serious concern of abuse, then the right may be removed by any administrator. Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires). I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. Request handled by: -- Luk 14:13, 7 September 2009 (UTC) Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

Hi

Thanks for your kind words. I guess I expected wikipedia rules to be equal which is what they state when reading through and I have been reading, but reality is clearly different. Neutrality and civility are not appreciated traits clearly. That was a really unpleasent thing to realize, but now I know. Fragma08 (talk) 17:24, 5 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again. You said something I should have known long time ago and there appears to be clearcut favourism both among editor friends (just look at Mathsci) who completely sidetracked the subject citing "alleged" inappropriateness (?). The favourism has also spilled over into certain administrators. I was very surprised by some of the "explanation" given as for the not applying the rules equally, and the original admin had full knowledge of the violation happening by both parties. But consciously decided to let it slide, to put it mildly, despite it being an experience editor, who should know better. Furthermore a general warning was claimed off to be a warning of ANI when clearly the two are different, and administrator knows that. But at the end of the day there is nothing I can do about. I played by the rules and lost. And the holes in the "defense" are the size of craters. I have learned from this that rules do not apply for all, and it pays to have friends, because then you can break any rule and sabotage any article. This was not my impression of wikipedia. So it all comes back to what you said. You are right and I just should not have relied on honesty, fairness or principles, as none of that is relevant on wikipedia, clearly. Very discouraging and demoralizing indeed. Thanks for your kind words and for well making me realizing the that some battles are lost in advance. Corruption, coverups and deliberate lies, surprisingly enough, do that. I hope you have a nice day/weekend and you are welcome on my talkpage anyday now. You are right, life outside is more important. Regret to have rambled on on your page now! Again thanks. Fragma08 (talk) 09:54, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

since the mobile was officially announced, all the previous sources became Obsolete, and only one source (the official announcement) is needed which was included in the edit, my English is not that good, this why i only edit Tech related articles as this the area of my expertise zayani (talk) 18:54, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Superphone

The article Superphone has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable neologism; Misplaced Pages is not a dictionary.

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 20:12, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Superphone

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Superphone. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Misplaced Pages:Notability and "What Misplaced Pages is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Superphone. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:07, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for your improvements

Hey, Little Professor, this is ProfessorPaul, and I just wanted to say thank you for your improvements to the article I started List of largest U.S. bank failures. Re-organizing the list onto a Table was an excellent idea; thank you and take care. ProfessorPaul (talk) 17:17, 23 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion of OttoMatic

Hi Little Professor, if you were trying to send OttoMatic to AfD, something must have gone wrong; it was added to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Log/2010 January 29, but the article was never tagged with the AfD template and Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/OttoMatic was never created. I removed the malformed entry from the daily log.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 09:02, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

I don't appreciate the tactics you are using in a dispute we are having over the above article.

I'm going to raise a wikiquette alert in line with WP:Civility. B626mrk (talk) 18:45, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Inappropriate use of language.

Re http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Radeon_R520&oldid=345431395

The word gay is not a pejorative; it's use as one is inappropriate. Please don't. 217.28.13.31 (talk) 22:14, 16 May 2010 (UTC)
