Please consider. --Iamunknown 07:50, 15 December 2007 (UTC) Thanks, but no thanks. -- ALLSTARecho 10:58, 15 December 2007 (UTC) Allstarecho, please? Enigmaman has been willing to refactor his edits which you consider inappropriate; could you do the same for the edits that he (most probably) considers inappropriate? Thanks, Iamunknown 19:48, 15 December 2007 (UTC) Seriously, you need to drop the issue. It doesn't concern you and you seem to be the only one now that's keeping it stirred up. And don't think I haven't read the "love-fest" between you 2 on his talk page and on your talk page. So don't come here acting like you're all neutral and impartial. You want to see what your friend is still doing, on the same article after being warned? Check out this edit from yesterday. He removed content, content that is fact per the source, and called it vandalism. You keep on supporting him and his own vandalism, that's fine. Just please don't post anything else on my talk page about him or this issue. Thanks. -- ALLSTARecho 20:13, 15 December 2007 (UTC) Nice to see that you continue with your childish attacks. That edit was definitely unnecessary, and arguably vandalism. If you want to argue it wasn't necessarily vandalism, fine, but it didn't belong there. You yourself left a message on that users page and reverted some of his edits AND IDENTIFIED THEM AS VANDALISM. So for you it's ok, but for me it's a problem. Always great to see consistency. Enigmaman (talk) 02:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC) Yeah, because the edits of his I reverted were not fact or even in the source but the edit of his that you reverted was. You seriously need to learn the definition of vandalism if you can't see that content that isn't sourced but is an attack on a living person is vandalism where as fact from a source isn't. Anyway, I'm done with you and this. Don't post on my talk page again unless you have something of substance to discuss. -- ALLSTARecho 05:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC) Christmas card Merry Christmas to you - thanks for the greeting.--Parkwells (talk) 12:38, 18 December 2007 (UTC) Re:prod Anyone can contest a prod, just AfD it if you want it deleted. John Reaves 07:22, 21 December 2007 (UTC) User:Allstarecho/AreYouBeingServed I remove the image as I'm about to delete it since it's unfair use. Yonatan talk 14:56, 21 December 2007 (UTC) Re: ANI thread You said you weren't sure about reporting image vandalism to AIV. It's the same as any vandalism. Revert changes and warn the user. The appropriate templates are {{subst:uw-image1}}, {{subst:uw-image2}}, {{subst:uw-image3}}, {{subst:uw-image4}}, {{subst:uw-image4im}}. They can be reported to AIV after the final warning, just as with other vandalism. Lara❤Love 21:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC) Thank you. I guess I should have been more precise.. I meant to block an image from being used. I've seen images before that were tagged as being block from use due to vandalizing articles with the image. Again, thank you. :) -- ALLSTARecho 21:11, 21 December 2007 (UTC) Ah, gotchya. No problem. Lara❤Love 21:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC) Tagging of Uthium Patent Nonsense is content that cannot be deciphered and giberish. Patent Nonsense is not poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes of any sort. The page should therefore fall under unremarkable content, test page or vandalism. PookeyMaster (talk) 10:55, 22 December 2007 (UTC) What part of "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself" do you not understand? Read WP:CSD#G1 and WP:CSD#A7 and you will see that this page does not qualify for speedy deletion under either criterion. It is not patent nonsense as Pookey explained, and it is not about "a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content". Phil Bridger (talk) 11:11, 22 December 2007 (UTC) Joburg Art Fair Hi, would you consider removing the speedy deletion tag from the Joburg Art Fair page. I have expanded the article somewhat and responded to some of the notability issues on the talk page. Thanks laurens (talk) 11:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC) User:Phil Bridger has subsequently removed the deletion tag. Thanks laurens (talk) 12:33, 22 December 2007 (UTC) db-bio used by other templates Hello, Allstarecho ... I now see that there is a historical basis for using {{Db-bio}} as a "generic" template, and it turns out that {{Db-band}} and {{Db-inc}} were created using it (although {{Db-web}} was not) ... the problem is that having all of the "genric" language ("organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content") creates duplications in the text for instances of Db-band and Db-inc (as well as inserting mention of "web content" where it may not apply) ... given how it is used elsewhere, I think that the material that you reverted should be removed ... do you agree? ... Happy Editing! —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 20:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC) Thanks for your gentle reminder Keep in mind, being straightforward is not necessarily a sin nor a violation of Wik policies. The liberal editors who try to silence conservatives in here do so by being cute by half. They game the system and make spurious charges regarding reactions they themselves provoked. Then they threaten them with expulsion. I've seen it played out a thousand times here. Now they are trying to drive out all the ID people. There's a hundred conservatives railroaded out of wikipedia for every REALLY loony leftie. And you have to be REALLY loony to get a trial here if you're a liberal. Just keep in mind what we're up against. They DO game the system. But, not anymore... 69.244.181.184 (talk) 00:09, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Gee, thank goodness your here to fight the good fight. Anyone can edit on wikipedia and anyone abusing those privileges can and often is blocked regardless of political or cultural perspectives as wikipedia is not censored and we need people with a variety of perspectives to build good articles. Instead of finding the violations of liberal or conservative editors you might find it more rewarding to focusing on simply improving your editing so that if someone wants to question your politics you can rightly state that they should focus on the content not the person editing. Benjiboi 01:43, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Dune (2009 film) - Not Speculation! Hello Allstarecho, and thanks for contributing at the Dune article. While I strongly agree that rumors do not belong on Wikipedia, this article was created in direct response to official confirmation from the filmmakers through mainstream media outlets. I have improved the article tone and corrected the references. Please note that there is a large category for upcoming films, and I believe this article satisfies the necessary criteria for inclusion. Let me know if there's any debate; hopefully the properly cited reliable sources will convince you! Nimur (talk) 01:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Please refer to WP:NFF. Thanks. -- ALLSTARecho 01:36, 23 December 2007 (UTC) Sheesh Guess all that anon is getting for Christmas this year is a block (I sure did my best to make that happen, anyway). Jeffpw (talk) 15:13, 24 December 2007 (UTC) It just amazes me how vile people can be when hid behind a keyboard. I was literally sitting here with my mouth open thinking "WTF??" at the comments he was leaving on the James talk page. -- ALLSTARecho 15:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC) NORAD Here's the telephone number to discuss the Santa situation they're tracking. I already called to say thanks for keeping the world abreast of developments. 1 (877) 446-6723. Jeffpw (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC). And by the way, you don't want to forget to leave a note for Santa. He might forget you, otherwise. Merry Christmas (and do you have any idea how hard it is to bake pies with a 12 pound cat sitting on your shoulder?). Jeffpw (talk) 16:19, 24 December 2007 (UTC) TfD nomination of Template:Rescue Template:Rescue has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — Benjiboi 21:47, 24 December 2007 (UTC) Re: Colleges and universities I did that because it is an overpopulated category. I'm of the opinion that no template cat should go over one 200 item page unless it's absolutely necessary. If you think that "Higher education navigational boxes" or "universities and colleges navigational boxes" is better, than we can go with that. I see that we have Category:Universities and colleges as the article space cat. So universities and colleges navigational boxes would go right along with that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Woohookitty (talk • contribs) 03:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC) I'm trying to organize the template categories so they are more in line with the general guidelines on subcategorization. I'm not talking about creating a second category. I'm talking about moving the ones I've categorized under Universities navigational boxes to a new subcat called colleges and universities navigational boxes. There actually is such a thing as an overpopulated category. The whole purpose of categories is to articles grouped under one subject easier to find. Well if you are having to page through multiple pages to find what you need, it defeats the purpose of categorization. Now I don't believe in overdoing it. We don't need subcats on universities and colleges navboxes for every state. There just aren't enough navboxes on the subject for that. But I think we should have separate cats for universities and colleges navboxes in general along with subcats for states with more than a few templates, such as California. My main thing here is just making the categories more in-line with our general categorization guidelines. If you don't think we should break it down by state (i.e. have a separate subcat for California or New York), then I have no problem with that. We can just do United States college and universities navigational boxes (or United States college and universities templates) under United States education navigational boxes. I have no problem with that. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 06:50, 30 December 2007 (UTC) Thyatira Sorry about not getting back to you on Thyatira; as you can see from my talk page, I've been rather busy with other issues in the last few days and forgot about Thyatira. It's done now. Nyttend (talk) 15:31, 30 December 2007 (UTC) Heyo Thanks for your holiday message. I have been on forced wikibreak lately, first due to a 10-day power outage from an Oklahoma ice storm, followed shortly by moving across town. It seems that the user in question has backed off of the article for the time being and moved on to different things. Happy new year. Cheers, ➪HiDrNick! 03:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Thank you for your help Always good to have a bit of help, they used your image of J and T FYI, I've reverted but thought you'd like to know. Benjiboi 13:30, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Used it where? I checked their contribs and don't see where they used it.. -- ALLSTARecho 17:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Nevermind, I see. Thanks. -- ALLSTARecho 17:14, 31 December 2007 (UTC) This is quite enlightening as well. Benjiboi 21:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Special Senate Election Didn't read the discussion... sorry. Gueas I was being bold. There's not too much precedent for this in wikipedia... only one I found was United States Senate elections in Wyoming, 2008 which is a relatively new artilce... even the United States Senate election in New Jersey, 2006 isn't comparable because, despite that being a special election, the other Jersey Senate class was not up for election that year... and if you go further back then that, wikipedia wasn't around so nobodies created those articles (yet). If you want to de-merge the articles I understand and I'm fine with it. My opinion is they should be merged (though it's not a particularily strong opinion). We probably need to establish a standard for this rare occurence and also apply it to United States Senate elections in Wyoming, 2008. Anyway... that's my 2 cents.--Dr who1975 (talk) 20:21, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Somebody has started a lively discussion at Talk:United States Senate elections in Mississippi, 2008... I actually voted for a split.--Dr who1975 (talk) 23:38, 2 January 2008 (UTC) I actually went to restore like it was but for some reason the original history isn't in the article to restore so I just gave up on it, moved on to other things.. -- ALLSTARecho 01:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC) You removed my comments when you moved the page... you needed to merge them properly! I made a very important point about the naming of the special election page in there.--Dr who1975 (talk) 14:50, 3 January 2008 (UTC) The comments on Talk:United States Senate election in Mississippi, 2008 were moved to Talk:United States Senate special election in Mississippi, 2008 where they belong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr who1975 (talk • contribs) 22:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC) wave but only for a few... What's up? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 06:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC) When a page is moved, all the history goes with it. Someone either deleted United States Senate elections in Mississippi, 2008, then moved United States Senate special election in Mississippi, 2008 over, or they did a history merge, which is something I know nothing about except that it exists. If the former, you should be able to find a revision in the United States Senate elections in Mississippi, 2008 history of the other page. If the latter, I think it's pretty impossible to "undo". -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 06:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC) It's tricky but try WP:SPLICE if you want to get history restored. Benjiboi 21:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Re: Status script Try this. Just made it, for my purposes, actually. I need the same thing. (adding to your talk page to increase the chance you'll notice it) --cuckooman (talk) 21:03, 3 January 2008 (UTC) That pesky King James 164.58.209.131: you smell a sock, too? Jeffpw (talk) 17:15, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Very much so. -- ALLSTARecho 17:20, 4 January 2008 (UTC) My new "friend" I'm concerned may be a sock as well, they certainly seem to know how to skip along the lines of policy enough to not be blatantly attacking. (As far as I know, I'm trying to just ignore them now.) Thank you for pointing it out, I had completely missed them and if they are also trolling then they've suckered me into their game. (sigh!) Be strong! Benjiboi 22:48, 4 January 2008 (UTC) Matt's offensive language Don't change it. Just report it, and let the admins block him again. Aleta (Sing) 07:17, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Done. Although I was under the understanding that talk page comments could be removed if blatantly offensive. Thanks. -- ALLSTARecho 07:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC) From what I've learned, and seems true in this case, folks are a bit more impolite in cyberland and if they are a repeat offend of civility issue on wp you should ensure they have been warned in the past and then take it to ANI if they don't change. Matt's an exceptional case and seems determined to get himself banned from the site altogether. Rarely have I seen him behave although he's certainly capable of good editing. Benjiboi 11:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC) FYI Matt's RfC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_comment/Bluemarine Good luck with that, seems an endless and non-productive process to me....a nobody. DADT On the Matt Sanchez article - DADT is referenced inline, that's why I revert it after adding it back in in the see also section. Aatombomb (talk) 15:39, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Oh OK. Sorry, I missed that. -- ALLSTARecho 15:44, 5 January 2008 (UTC) I'm fine with repeating - another editor removed it because it was in line. I'm not sure what the policy is on See Also sections. Aatombomb (talk) 15:46, 5 January 2008 (UTC) See also should be treated as a waiting room for wikilinks, once they are in the article then remove from See also; likewise if you remove wikilinks from the article they could go back there. Benjiboi 15:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Ok, thanks! Aatombomb (talk) 16:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Abusive comments I'm extremely, extremely sorry you guys (collectively, you specifically, and all) had to put up with that kind of nonsense for so long. It's completely unacceptable. Lawrence Cohen 17:51, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Sanchez / prostitution And after the Colmes interview he's denied it. Sorry - it's one of those issues that Wikipedia is *very* strict on. If he's denied it, we can't put it on. There's a blog that details quite a lot of info about the situation at [1]. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 18:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Matt Sanchez I have declined the request to unprotect the Matt Sanchez page - the page was protected per an OTRS ticket, which is the system used to track officially inquiries or letters to the project or the Foundation. There's an OTRS reference number on there - that's how you can know. :-) - Philippe | Talk 19:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Matt Sanchez - Escort The prostitution thing is probably a losing battle - these discussions have been going on for eight months now. Aatombomb (talk) 20:23, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Maybe so but that's the spirit of Wikipedia.. to write factual and honest articles. There wouldn't be a Wikipedia if it weren't for users who fought for the truth. -- ALLSTARecho 20:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, but in this case the BLP policies and fear of legal action have trumped the truth. I know this guy and his legal threats are completely empty. He knows he couldn't win in a court case, but the administrators can't count on it. Aatombomb (talk) 20:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC) Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration#Matt Sanchez I feel that the matter of Bluemarine (talk · contribs) and Matt Sanchez now requires the involvement of the Arbitration Committee. Given your recent involvement in the matter, I have listed you as a party to the case. WjBscribe 04:08, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Bluemarine An Arbitration case involving you has been opened, and is located here. Please add any evidence you may wish the Arbitrators to consider to the evidence sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Bluemarine/Evidence. Please submit your evidence within one week, if possible. You may also contribute to the case on the workshop sub-page, Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Bluemarine/Workshop. On behalf of the Arbitration Committee, John Vandenberg (talk) 22:07, 7 January 2008 (UTC) I am currently tapping out a note in response to that. I had hoped to tackle it earlier today but my work day was rather busy. Thanks for notifying me rather than trying to respond, which would only inflame things further. Hopefully if nobody responds, the user can focus on working with the other parties and arbcom to conclude this matter. John Vandenberg (talk) 09:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks. I haven't replied to any of his attacks, that I can recall. My only involvement with this whole thing is that I added alleged BLP violating content to the article. I just don't feel that Matt cares about Arbcom one way or the other, as long as the content he doesn't want in the article, is not in the article. He's played everyone to the hilt and still acts "confused" about what he can and can't do even though it's been spelled out to him. I'm just ready for this mess to be done and over. -- ALLSTARecho 09:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Category: Queer Wikipedians A discussion is going on that concerns you. Recently, the category Queer Wikipedians was deleted, and all pages were removed from the category. I see that you have added yourself back into the now-deleted category, thus re-creating it. This has created quite a stir over at WP:Village pump (policy)#Categorizing_in_a_deleted_category. (the deletion discussions may be found at WP:User categories for discussion/Archive/October 2007#Category:LGBT_Wikipedians and WP:User categories for discussion/Archive/October 2007#Sexuality_and_gender_identification) Unless I'm mistaken, no one has spoken to you about the issue, and it seems like your input may be helpful. superlusertc 2008 January 08, 06:59 (UTC) I do not understand how Wikipedia:Other things exist is an unacceptable arguement when ten+ categories may be deleted in one action. Do you get it? Hyacinth (talk) 01:30, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Not at all. It's come down to no matter what you - as in anyone that's arguing for the cat - say, they just slap back with something else that has nothing whatsoever to do with the issue at hand. -- ALLSTARecho 01:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC) (fold) I'm tossing in my hand on the RFAr. The block on Sanchez was it. I've expended a great deal of effort on that article, but to have him do something as manifestly stupid as to violate his clearly and narrowly tailored unblock to wade into the waterboarding debate during an arbitration case cannot be justified, defended, or excused. I will continue to watch the RFAr, and will respond if appropriate, but I will not be adding any more to it. Horologium (talk) 14:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC) Rollback Part of the problem, in my opinion, is that your blocks were just over a month ago, while bstone's were three months ago. I don't feel comfortable supporting you (or almost any user) who has had issues like that so recently. Bstone, however, I feel has had enough time to learn from his mistakes, and I'm confidant that he won't make them again. Another issue is that you were recently blocked by Doc glasgow for civility issues; while I'm not familiar with your individual case, I think that the combination of these issues made other users uneasy toward giving you rollback. Ral315 (talk) 06:41, 10 January 2008 (UTC) I really don't see how civility is relevant to rollback. Even the most uncivil users on the project should be givenrollback as long as they don't misuse it. John Reaves 06:47, 10 January 2008 (UTC) Your rollback request Hi! I regret that I must inform you that your request for the rollback permission has been denied. You can discover why by checking the archives at Wikipedia:Requests for rollback/Denied/January 2008#Allstarecho. RFRBot (talk) 07:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks bot. An editor, who had a 3RR block a little over 2 months ago gets ok'ed but me who had an "edit war" block almost 2 months ago, gets denied? Flawed process for sure. -- ALLSTARecho 07:20, 10 January 2008 (UTC) Rollback I notice Ryan didn't feel confident enough to grant rollback to you due to my recent blocking of you. Whilst I respect his decision, I'm willing to give you a chance here. I have granted your rollback request - I am doing so on trust. I'm trusting you ONLY to use this to revert obvious vandalism, and NEVER on any edit that is even just possibly good faith, no matter how awful. Also don't ever use this on the edits of any regular editor. It can be removed just as easily as granted. Thanks.--Docg 20:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks Doc. I won't let you down. ALLSTARecho 20:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC) I fixed your userpage – Gurch 04:57, 12 January 2008 (UTC) On User:Allstarecho, this script from my monobook no longer shows/works. It still works on User talk:Allstarecho and everywhere else, just not on my main page now. ALLSTARecho 06:42, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, replacing the sidebar means any changes to the real sidebar don't show up. Oh well – Gurch 06:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Sir Jelly Man Didn't you send me a message about the "Der Echte Gangster speedy deletion thingy"? I am a Wiki n00b so please reply why it will be deleted more SPECIFICLY. I'm sorry I am very bad at english because im Japanese —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sir Jelly Man (talk • contribs) 09:58, 12 January 2008 (UTC) G4 Hey Allstarecho. Regarding MLight, I was just about to delete under it CSD A7 when another admin beat me to it deleting it on that basis and not under CSD G4 as you tagged it. Please note that it could not be deleted under G4 as that criterion only applies to articles deleted after debate at an XfD process such as AfD; it does not apply to articles previously speedily deleted. Keep up the great tagging work. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 11:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Ah, thanks for that heads up. So what do I do about recreation of a CSD article? Just re-tag it CSD? and warn the user for <what>? ALLSTARecho 17:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC) After the first recreation you can use the template series {{uw-create}} ({{uw-create2}}, {{uw-create3}}, {{uw-create4}}). If a user reposts after the last, you can report at WP:AIV. Actually, I've been meaning for a long time to create a template series specific to this; create works, but doesn't strike quite the right tone. If I ever do I'll try to remember to drop you a message. However, you usually don't need to go too far. Most recreations are forestalled by a subseqent deleting admin by salting the nonesistent page after it becomes apparent the user is not stopping.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 21:34, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Multi-Function Polis patrolled Hi Allstarecho. Cool userpage. I feel like I'm walking into someone's house with all the decorations! I was checking the page logs for Multi-Function Polis, and noticed your comment, "marked Multi-Function Polis patrolled". Just wondering what that means? thanks, Lester 12:33, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Yes, this is an action an editor does when patrolling newly created pages. This lets others know that someone has looked at the newly created page so that another editor who is on new page patrol doesn't have to. For more information see Wikipedia:New pages patrol/patrolled pages. ALLSTARecho 17:31, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks for taking the time to inform me of the process of "patrolling". Best wishes, Lester 23:14, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Sanchez talk semi-protect I totally smelled what I thought was a baiting sock of a certain porn start so that's why I took that route rather than belabor the process as no article changes are to happen for another month so why spin drama of content we can't do anything with for at least a month. Benjiboi 20:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Agreed. ALLSTARecho 20:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Re: Cottonelle must be a different brand then.--I am sooooo cool! 23:41, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Speedy Deletion of of Users:Polarbear97/Date I apologize for creating that page. While it was not actually a test, I should have used template creator instead of creating a new page. Polarbear97 (talk) 04:55, 13 January 2008 (UTC) Your removals Do not remove my comments left on other users talk-pages. You have no standing and no policy reason for so doing. Removing the comments of others is looked upon as an extremely aggressive action and not favored by the project participants except in a few very rare situations. Wjhonson (talk) 00:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Apparently you haven't seen the discussion about you running around posting that link. I'd advise you to seriously stop doing that before you find yourself site banned as well. I'm not threatening that but others, including some admins, are. I was doing it in your best interest to keep you here but you're really pushing it with that link and spamming it all over Wikipedia. ALLSTARecho 00:23, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Yes I have seen a mention of a BLP issue, which is false. There is no *discussion* about me posting link's to my site. I don't need your advice thank you very much. No admin has threatened me with site banning contrary to your statement. I don't need anyone to look out for my best interest thank you for your concern. My posting a link, to other editors, on their user-talk pages, to assist them in coming up-to-speed on the Sanchez issue is not Spamming. And me posting it to three spots is not "all over Wikipedia". Have a nice day. Wjhonson (talk) 03:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC) A link to a web site you created and maintain about the controversial subject Matt Sanchez, which is currently the subject of an Arbcom case and you don't see the foul in that? Whatever then, carry on.. ALLSTARecho 12:06, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks I have been combating the writer of ==The Dark Silence (2010 Film) == I already placed a speedy delete tag on the page and apparently he thought he could go ahead and write the article again. Grrrr lol. Dustihowe  Talk  18:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Admins How did you become an admin and how do people, like me, become one.. Also how comes your like super fast at messaging people and doing alerts etc. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlxxyy2 (talk • contribs) 19:39, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Deletion Hi there, why the request for speedy deletion of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Barbarians_Move_In ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonbassduels (talk • contribs) 20:00, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Hey, Allstar, I removed the speedy tag from that article - I didn't see any copyright violation. (???) Aleta (Sing) 20:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks. It was a false hit from CorenSearchBot. ALLSTARecho 22:14, 14 January 2008 (UTC) Ah, ok. I wondered! :) Aleta (Sing) 04:24, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Warning When you warn someone, start with at least the Caution warning. Otherwise there will be insufficient warnings for a block. ALLSTARecho 02:56, 15 January 2008 (UTC) Hi Allstarecho, that's what I always used to do before I reread the template messages page, where it says: Level 1 – Assumes good faith. Generally includes "Welcome to Wikipedia" or some variant. Level 2 – No faith assumption Level 3 – Assumes bad faith; cease and desist So I started skipping to Level 3 in cases where I could see there wasn't a chance it was a good faith edit. Is that wrong? Sometimes it seems silly to say "at least one of your recent edits did not appear to be constructive" when it's obvious it's the exact opposite of constructive! Perhaps I'm being too harsh though. I think I should take a break and eat some lunch. :) Somno (talk) 03:01, 15 January 2008 (UTC) Image:Circle sign 475.svg listed for deletion An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:Circle sign 475.svg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.

TMF Let's Go Mets - Stats 08:34, 15 January 2008 (UTC) High traffic notice I didn't get to this in time - looks like someone else has courtesy blanked both pages anyway! -- Chuq (talk) 07:16, 16 January 2008 (UTC) That was off my request. We don't have any need for the article or AFD to exist; it just is extra embarresment for the poor kid. Lawrence Cohen 07:17, 16 January 2008 (UTC) I'm requesting it be restored. News media all over the world is linked to it. ALLSTARecho 07:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Bring it up on ANI, bottom page. I already have a section. We don't care about the media, we care about BLP. Lawrence Cohen 07:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Edit to User talk:Benjiboi I just had to nuke an edit of yours where you made a completely unsupported allegation against a named minor. If you do this again, you will be blocked. Orderinchaos 08:56, 16 January 2008 (UTC) I'm assuming you meant the links to the news reports? What violation is that? It's the news. ALLSTARecho 08:58, 16 January 2008 (UTC) The news report doesn't name who it is. Furthermore, the newspaper cites that two teenagers have been charged, and the link-up between the individuals and the charges is restricted due to the defendant being a minor. There is no evidence it is Delaney charged with the "more serious offence". Daniel (talk) 09:00, 16 January 2008 (UTC) I myself have linked to a news report (ABC) on the DRV, and there's an Age report out there as well to the same extent. However, your abstraction from it (which in addition implied the person was guilty of said second offence) was the particular edit I removed. Orderinchaos 09:02, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks to you both, I realize that now. I think it was a fair assumption if for nothing else than the fact that all mentions of him are being blanket banned on Wikipedia now. I shouldn't have assumed it was him. ALLSTARecho 09:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC) No worries, and thanks to you too. Orderinchaos 09:07, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your understanding - I appreciate this is very tricky, hence why I'm trying to involve high-level Foundation people and Australian Wikipedians with legal backgrounds. It's probably better to bite ones tongue in such situations until everything is clarified, especially for people who are Australian :) Cheers, Daniel (talk) 09:09, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Agreed. ALLSTARecho 09:11, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Courtesy blanked Whose courtesy? Let's see, how about the minor who has now been charged with a crime. I coould not care less about the link from news.com.au.; in fact all the more reason to courtesy blank. If you disagree raise it at WP:AN/I. -- Mattinbgn\talk 07:20, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Well you don't have to come here being a smartass about it. And I will raise it at ANI. ALLSTARecho 07:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC) My apologies, that was a little harsh in retrospect. I misread the tone of your questioning. -- Mattinbgn\talk 09:41, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Thank you and my apologies as well. ALLSTARecho 16:21, 16 January 2008 (UTC) CfD nomination of Category:Gayass Wikipedians I have nominated Category:Gayass Wikipedians (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) for deletion. Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at the discussion page. Thank you. Avruchtalk 16:44, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Well, I didn't change all the tags but the originals don't actually not work, they just link to a spot where there is another link to the correct spot. Thanks for fixing them anyway. Avruchtalk 17:29, 16 January 2008 (UTC) The links that say "the discussion page", such as the one above, were going to CfD and not to UCfD.
