Teaching Certificate Scams

Yesterday I recommended deletion of the article "Teaching English as a Foreign Language" for some very good reasons, and you decided on a "Speedy Keep" without addressing the specific and plainly visible issues the article is guilty of, and instead you accused me of invisible motives for recommending the deletion. Note that I am initiating a mass media investigation of teaching certificate scams and hope that Misplaced Pages won't be named as one of the ways such scams are promoted. - omadaf.

Diacritics bot

I see you made a bot request for a diacritics bot a while ago. I now have a working prototype of one. Suggestions on jobs for the bot are welcome :) Haukur 13:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion (11-24)

Hello, you deleted my article. My friend Caleb Gregory is a real musician. He's trying really hard to be known in the world and I thought it was a sweet gesture to put up an article about him on wikipedia. I tried to make it as informing as possible, and it hurts my feelings that you just deleted it. I would have liked to know beforehand so I could try to fix it or something. I would very much like to put this article back up for my friend, who is sad about it, and I would love it if you'd give me suggestions as to how it can be improved. Thanks!

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion

Also, being that you are a self-proclaimed Misplaced Pages addict, I would expect you to know the above page's content pretty well. It says it would be courteous to alert the original author before you just go and delete the only article they've ever written. Good grief. I would have gladly fixed it.

Garfield The Third (game) AFD

Hi, the Garfield The Third afd bundled two articles for deletion, Garfield The Third (game) and Garfield: Movin' On Up, but only "Garfield The Third (game)" was deleted after the discussion was closed. They are both hoax articles created by the same user. --Muchness 15:21, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Vandalismo no artigo sobre a Toyota na wikipedia EN

Acabei de notar que a imagem no artigo sobre a Toyota deve ser o retrato da mente de quem a colocou lá. Já viu a imagem? Então já deve ter percebido do que estou a falar. Voltando ao assunto principal, queria pedir-lhe para eliminar esse acto de vandalismo e para, se possível, proteger novamente esse artigo contra vandalismo.

Fica aqui o meu contacto, juntamente com os meus cumprimentos ruiferreira89@hotmail.com

Post Scriptum: a palavra "shit" é mencionada duas vezes e a palavra "bullshit" é mencionada uma vez no referido artigo (Toyota). A palavra bullshit está na introdução do artigo e a palavra shit encontra-se na legenda da fotografia do fundador dessa empresa e na legenda de um dos veículos dessa marca.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.155.117.14 (talk • contribs)

Edit Count

I know this is no big deal to you but I just want to let you know that I have over 3000 edits on Misplaced Pages...I am now working on getting 1000 mainspace! Also I might launch a RFA in February or March next year (may bee). Cheers!__Seadog 19:00, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Clear decision

http://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:Hercule_%28Dragon_Ball%29#Requested_move

The decision explicitly says:

"The result of the debate was no consensus for any proposed move. It's always a bummer when such a long argument fails to reach consensus, but it does happen. There is clear opposition to every move that has been proposed, so the page will remain where it is now. —Mets501 (talk) 21:00, 17 November 2006 (UTC)"

I.E. it is to stay at Hercule (Dragon Ball)

This is a clear decision that is an outcome of a lack of consensus. WhisperToMe 01:30, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

thanks

Hi just to say thanks I've copied you wikitower and created a version for myself, if you want to see what i did its here thanks again Gnangarra 03:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Jcurtis vandalism removal

I see you removed my listing of Jcurtis from the vandalism listing saying: "not warned in the past 24 hours, seems to have stopped now anyway.". I'm mystified... generally when you add warnings to a page you escalate them, but how do you escalate beyond a level 4 blanking warning? According to the Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace listing, the next level beyond that is level 5, which is a block, and since I'm not an admin, I imagine I shouldn't be able to set that. Besides, what's the point in putting multiple level 4 blocks on a page, which is what your "not warned in the past 24 hours" statement would require to happen? Wouldn't multiple "final" warnings imply that the admin process is all bark and no bite? Tabercil 04:19, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for the prompt reply on my page. I'll see about issuing fresh warnings on his talk page when this user next blanks out valid links... see if I can't get things to be more promptly done after his edits. Tabercil 05:08, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

User Page Request

Hi! I was wondering if you could put your Misplaced Pages Office Tower on my page, as I am too scared of ruining it, like I did with the Signpost. If you could fix the Sign Post too, that would also be helpful, but if you can't, don't. Thanks,  Jorcogα  04:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I asked Aeon ages ago, but he uses WerdnaBot, which means he rarely gets messages:(. As for Daniel, I hadn't thought of him. BTW,my page, when set to the smallest resolution on my computer (800x600) has exactly the same look as my resolution (1024x768). I'll do what you said with the tower. Thanks,  Jorcogα  05:49, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

AAAA! Your WikiTower won't work. There's something in that code, but what? I'm actually considering changing my page to one that doesn't have any fancy coding.  Jorcogα  06:01, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

I would like to express my appreciation of the time you spent considering my successful RfA. Thankyou Gnangarra 13:38, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Árpád Élő

Hello again Tariqabjotu. You closed the move discussion on Talk:Árpád Élő as no consensus. However, someone had already moved the article to Arpad Elo. Thus, following your established result, should the article be moved back to Árpád Élő? Regards.--Húsönd 19:31, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that appears corerct. I moved to back to Árpád Élő. -- tariqabjotu 19:47, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia_talk:Requested_moves#Review_of_Arpad_Elo_and_others, I moved the article back to the Arpad Elo. -- tariqabjotu 13:47, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

River delta vandalism

Sorry about the vandalism on River delta. My little brother changed the article, and I talked to him about what is expected on Misplaced Pages with regards to stupid pranks. It shouldn't happen again, but I felt I should apologize.

Thanks for the great award Husond. I didn't think my post was award worthy, but I'm glad someone got a good message from it. :) Thanks again, Spawn Man 00:19, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Teaching English in Italy

Since the nominator doesn't want to delete the article but to merge it, your reversal of the close doesn't make much sense... but *shrug* At least go and fix up the templates on the article itself and its talk page. If you're going to revert, do it properly.

Evanescence-related sprotects

You are my hero. Thanks for the quick action regarding The Open Door and Lithium (Evanescence song). -- Huntster 03:58, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Because I trust you to tell me if I'm being a dick...

Quick favor: can you take a look at my responses at Misplaced Pages:Templates for deletion/Log/2006 November 25#Template:MySpace and tell me if I'm being uncivil in my responses? I am getting fairly pissed off at what I'm perceiving as a knee-jerk reaction to MySpace in general (and the fact that a lot of people are saying things without backing them up, making me feel like I'm talking to a brick wall), but I don't think I've been anything more than justifiably passionate in my behavior.

Wizardry Dragon, however, is calling me out on violating WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF (although his tone is just pissing me off more), and I'd like a third party to let me know if I actually am out of line here. I trust you to kick my ass if I deserve it, so I figured I'd ask. :-) (if you're too busy, that's fine; you're just the first person I thought of asking)

Thanks. EVula // talk // ☯ // 05:59, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Editor review request

Hello, I noticed you've participated in RfAs, and I'm trying to get some feedback on "my Editor Review" (which is sort of like a pre-RfA/overall performance opinion) from admins/editors with experience . I wouldn't normally solicit, but it appears Editor Review doesn't get nearly the attention RfA does (and understandably so). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for reading. --Bobak 06:47, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

THAT was a huge compliment...

If I'm ever nominated with an RfA I would never feel that it would be stained by you Husound! That is really an amazing compliment that I'm not sure I fully deserve :). I recently have started to experiment with Misplaced Pages in a more deeper sense and have found to enjoy it. As far as wanting to be an admin, it would be a great honor and I would gratefully accept the nomination if the community feels I deserve it ^_^. Again, thanks.¤~Persian Poet Gal 03:07, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

All in one day's work

Hello, you asked me to keep an eye open for User:Jaakko Sivonen's actions. We'll he's back again and doing the same thing's again: Vandalizing , moving contents , revisionism, impolite behaviour "What the hell", "Rv nazi stuff""Here are some jokes about Swedes" (meaning to insult the user) etc etc...all in one day's work (his user contributions). --MoRsE 08:24, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

RfA: Khukri

Just a quick note to say thanks for your support on my recent RfA. It became clear very quickly that my editing background was going to detrimental to my nomination. Having seen other recent RfA's fail once one or two admins opposed and others just piled on the vote, I decided it would save the ignominy if I withdrew my nomination. I don't intend to change the work I do as it's what I enjoy, so it'll be unlikely I'll apply again. Anyway thanks again for taking the time to review my nomination and giving your support. Regards Khukri 11:44, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Thedrunkendiale

I am wondering of this site could be considered an internet phenomena or not. I know it is rather popular and extremely humorous. It features a guy who holds a weekly contest offering $100 via PayPal to the individual who leaves him he best Drunk dialing message on his voicemail.

I did not add this site to this article yet for fear that people would think I am self-promoting. I have no affiliation with the site and can’t find any direct marketing used to purchase products. I just think it is very funny and well known around my area.

I look forward to some objective input before I add, or do not add this site to the list. Take a look for yourself, you be the judge…

Questionable Demand for Warnings

132.241.246.111 was warned when he erased comments from his talk page as Devilmaycares and he was warned when he did this as Grazon, and links to those warnings were provided in my report to AIV:

132.241.246.111 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) Blocked editor Grazon qua 132.241.246.111 is editing User talk:132.241.246.111 to remove comments.

Do you propose that each of his sockpuppets must be warned against doing this? —75.18.113.152 02:39, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

A Neologism DB-Nonsense Article

Hello Husond, User:Chuntero has create this neoglism db-nonsense article. Even though neologisms are not always qualified for speedies, I did not change the tag from a db to prod becase of its entries of "famous chunts," which by itself is considered patent nonsense. P.S. The talk page reveals plenty of patent nonsense as well if you talk a look.¤~Persian Poet Gal 02:16, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Chempep

Are you aware this user was also discussed on WP:ANI. Since he was posting links to chempep.com, his username is seen as a violation of the username policy. So he should really be blocked for that instead of having his block lifted. Please read WP:ANI and reconsider. -Mgm| 10:55, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Welcome Back!

Bloody Pointless И This user harbors a deep mutual resentment and/or a general dislike of Dfrg.msc. X This user has, at some point, blatantly ripped off Dfrg.msc. ??! This page Smells Funny. Brick. Brick(s).

Hey, how was it? Did you get me some sand in a jar? But seriously, we missed you, and I made some pointless userboxes that need unloading. The brick is my favorite, the others are out of growing necessity. Check out the Arbcom elections too, if you haven't already. Dfrg.msc 02:10, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks mate, for your review, I usually do warn the vandals but the warn button is stuffing up on IE, which I'm forced to use. Firefox is at home. Yeah, I'll work on the typo's, I'm on Dial-up which makes reversions and time to do preview quite difficult to find. But these are the things I will have work on and hopefully be the better for it. Thanks for the mist mate; and thanks again for reviewing me. Dfrg.msc 03:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Dragan_Nikolić_(war criminal)

Please restore this. This was an move war over the disambiguator, which resulted in both the original article and the redirect being nominated. The nomination for the original article was withdrawn after consensus keep at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Dragan Nikolić (commander). The question of its location is secondary. I am also mentioning this at WP:DRV. Septentrionalis 20:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Dolores Park

Recently the article on Dolores Park was protected only because I had posted some information, which I admit at first was phrased badly and was misleading. Simply becuase I wrote it badly, I fixed it up, added some sources and eventually a picture but User:brainslug kept on changing it back without even looking at the source I cited. Please reconsider the inclusion of my information. Thank You!—The preceding Lukereiser 04:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC) unsigned comment was added by Lukereiser (talk • contribs).

Prussian Blue (duo)

Yeah, I'm with you there. I feel the same way when I revert vandalism to George W. Bush. -- Jim Douglas _(contribs) 05:07, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Even though I loathe what those girls "sing" about (I watched a video on their web site -- they're not even that good), what that person posts there goes way over the line; he's seriously obsessed. The article might need to stay protected for a while, so I changed the {{sprotected}} to {{sprotected2}} -- Jim Douglas _(contribs) 14:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

your strange decision regarding protecting Uranus

Please can you expand on your reason for refusing protection to the page Uranus? You say there's no enough activity to justify it. There have been 20 vandalism reverts in about eight days. Every other contribution over the last four days has been vandalism. This pattern is consistent for the last 300 edits. Given the adolescent snigger-value of the word 'uranus' this is a perennial joke which will never go away. If there was ever a page that justified protection, this is it. As a committed vandal-reverter I find your decision inexplicable and also very dismissive of the tedious raking and reverting that vandal-cleanup-wikipedians carry out. raining girl 14:56, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Twenty isn't a handful. Every other edit isn't a handful. Other things being worse isn't a reason not to act. I have had requests for protection taken up with much less vandalism than this one in the past. Your 'explanation' adds up to not much more than a mildly patronising comment. Nice. raining girl 18:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
