Name and project

I know you've had this for awhile, but role accounts aren't allowed. You may want to change it. On another note, you may want to join the ScoutingWikiProject, see WP:SCOUT. — Rlevse • Talk • 09:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

User names cannot be a role account or match an company/organization's name. Yours matches an organization's name. Role accounts are accountts used to edit on behalf of an organization/company. You should edit as your name, not your IP. — Rlevse • Talk • 09:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Software : Main Page Layout

Well, not that good I think... I request all active members to comment on it. There might be necessity to move a topic above, add somthing, remove too... and else... I wanna make it perfect. Please just comment on it, I will make it that way if it suits the best. – Deb ‖ Poke • EditList ‖ 18:55, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

WP Computing

Greetings. You are receiving this note as you are a member of this WikiProject. Currently there is not much of activity in the project and I am hoping to revive the project with your help. I have made a few changes to the project page Diff. You are welcome to make suggestions of improvement / changes in the design. I have also make a proposal to AutoTagg articles with {{WikiProject Computing}} for the descendant wikiprojects articles also. Please express your opinion here -- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 12:59, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

June 2008

Hello. It appears that you have been canvassing—leaving messages on others' talk pages to notify them of an ongoing community decision, debate, or vote—in order to influence User talk:21655. While friendly notices are allowed, they should be limited and nonpartisan in distribution and should reflect a neutral point of view. Please do not post notices which are indiscriminately cross-posted, which espouse a certain point of view or side of a debate, or which are selectively sent only to those who are believed to hold the same opinion as you. Remember to respect Wikipedia's principle of consensus-building by allowing decisions to reflect the prevailing opinion among the community at large. The way you worded it sounded completely biased. And sorry, but I don't wanna join WP:SOFTWARE. Sorry. 21655 ^{ταλκ/01ҁ} 14:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA

I'm sorry to inform you that I closed your RFA early per WP:NOTNOW. You'll find some excellent suggestions written in your RFA as to how to improve yourself as an editor. Most of the editors opposing your RFA cited a lack of experience, so over time, you may easily be able to put their concerns to rest. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. Useight (talk) 16:02, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Major edits

Just in case you didn't see the message left on my talk page by Wisdom89, edits that should be marked as minor are generally: spelling fixes, grammar fixes, adding wikilinks, adding italics, etc. Other edits, such as adding content, would be considered major. Useight (talk) 20:41, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA

I'd prefer not to re-open your RFA, as it is not going to have a chance at being successful (as of the time I closed it, it was at 18% support when about 75% is necessary). If you're looking just to get some feedback, Editor Review is a good resource. However, if you really, really want it re-opened, I'll do it. Let me know. Useight (talk) 21:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA

You'll find that I have re-opened it per your request. Useight (talk) 22:08, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Your RfA

You RfA has now been re-closed by me. You may like to read up on our canvassing guidelines, I believe you may find them enlightening. Naerii 22:44, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject: Software

Hi, thanks for placing the project invite on my talk page. Would you mind me asking why it is you chose to invite me, as I don't really edit many software-related articles on Wikipedia? As it happens, I'm a comp. sci. graduate, so I might be of use, but of late I've been tending more to edit video game articles here on Wikipedia (purely because they need a lot of work), so I just wondered why you asked me in particular. :) ^Synergy/_{Blades (Talk)} 02:09, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Your RFA

Good to see your efforts for reviving WP:SOFTWARE , but please don't place messages like this while running for RFA. This is per policy of WP:CANVAS and looked upon very badly when during the RFA. I saw you were unsuccessful in your recent RFA , but dont make this 'mistake' if you are doing a RFA again . RfA is not a political campaign. The intent is to develop consensus. Impartial evaluation of a candidate, not how popular they are, is the goal. Canvassing is often looked down upon... Read WP:GRFA also... Just my 2 cents .. Best of luck for the future...-- TinuCherian ^{(Wanna Talk?)} - 03:08, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Software‎

Hello, can you please continue editing the sandbox of Wikipedia:WikiProject Software‎ that I have started ? I am having my semester so cant be reguler these days.

I will be active again after next week. Hope you will manage until then. – Deb ‖ Poke • EditList ‖ 19:39, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:NewDLR.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading Image:NewDLR.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 14:17, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Redirects from Template Space

Sorry for bothering, but I don't think Redirects from Template Space (such as Template:Dell) to your user space are acceptable. What do you intend to do with those? You can also create templates in your user namespace, where no one will bother (they can be included as any normal templates can). Also, if you intend to use templates in your signature, just don't do it, as it's highly discuraged because of the server performance this requires. --PaterMcFly (talk) 09:07, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

DLR pics

Sorry, no new DLR pics. You could try asking darquati for approval to use his picture here:

under a license that permits commercial use. Tompagenet (talk) 17:53, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

{{windows-software-stub}} edits

Hi,

Please stop transcluding {{software-stub}} onto this template. I'm not sure what you're trying to do - if you're trying to make sure that the appropriate category is added, it is already added because all Windows stubs are automatically software stubs too. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 23:26, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:NIS.GIF)

Thanks for uploading Image:NIS.GIF. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:19, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

Invitation to Wikipedia meetup in London

Wikimedia UK logo

Date: 13:00 onwards, Sunday 10 August 2008

Venue: Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1 map

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12

Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

James F. (talk) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!

Your signature

Hi, I just saw your signature over at WP:CFD. Those oversize letters are awfully distracting and somewhat disruptive to the flow of the page, and made me wonder why the user was trying to attract attention to himself. So I would urge you to give serious consideration to using a more normal font size. Cgingold (talk) 01:37, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Central Announcement thingy

Can you customize it so that ALL messages for WP:Software appear under the announcement section as subsections (I'm assuming its bot-controlled) instead of normal sections, cause otherwise, it'll get confusing to figure out which one is software/which isn't/easier on the organization for me. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 00:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Software Announcement suggestions

I don't need the whole list of archived announcements, nor do I need a list of to-dos, nor do I need the announcements to always be at the top of my talk page. Rather, there should be some bot where an announcement is made as its own new section at the bottom of the members' talk pages. Althepal (talk) 05:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Requesting not to add whole list of announcements on top of my talk page again. I would rather prefer to go to project page and see myself. My suggestion is that not to add this to other members' talk pages too. Let them add it if they wish so. If there are new announcements, drop a note as a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thatz more than enough. Thanks -- Tinu Cherian - 13:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Greetings Tyw7,

My name is Sephiroth Storm, and I am attempting to revive Project Malware back from inactivity.

If you would, or you have any question, suggestions or comments, please leave a note on WP:MALW or on my talk page.

Thank You,

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Help!

{{helpme}} How should I make a template always appear on the bottom of the talk page? -- Tyw7, Leading Innovations ‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) 10:54, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Im not 100% saure but I am aware of no method to acheive what you have asked except to always insert stuff above the template 203.122.240.118 (talk) 12:28, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Responese not helpful. --81.86.68.253 (talk) 13:07, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Do you have an example page. I am not sure what you are asking? Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 13:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I put some code that placed this template at the bottom but I am not sure if that is what you mean. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 13:22, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

No, that doesn't work. When something is added below it, it goes up again (what has happened here, with my comment). I think you'll just have to add the template to the bottom of the page and place a message within <!-- --> saying something like "messages above this line". Or you could use something like <div style="position:absolute; right:50%; bottom:0%;">{{talkpage}}</div> which will place the template at the bottom of the page. However, even during editing it will be at the very bottom of the page. If you use <div style="position:fixed; right:50%; bottom:0%; display:block;">{{talkpage}}</div>, you can keep it always at the bottom of the viewing area, but the view will be blocked from it. If you're using these you'll have to adjust the numbers to suit the position. Cheers. Chamal ^Talk ± 14:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I want to plate {{Wikipedia:WikiProject Software/Announcement-u}} at the very bottom. --81.86.68.253 (talk) 14:48, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

I will get back with an answer... Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 14:53, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

You do not need to keep adding the {{helpme}} tag. We all know your question. It constantly alerts us and is annoying. Please keep it off while we look for an answer. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 15:06, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Non of us that work the help desk seem to think it is possible to do what you want. As a last resort try asking over at WP:VPT. If there is a way they will know. Gtstricky^{Talk or C} 15:08, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Image without license

Unspecified source/license for Image:SoftwareLogo.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:SoftwareLogo.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. Even if you created the image yourself, you still need to release it so Wikipedia can use it. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days. If you made this image yourself, you can use copyright tags like {{PD-self}} (to release all rights), {{self|CC-by-sa-3.0|GFDL}} (to require that you be credited), or any tag here - just go to the image, click edit, and add one of those. If you have uploaded other images, please verify that you have provided copyright information for them as well.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by MifterBot. For assistance on the image use policy, see Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. --MifterBot ^{(Talk • Contribs • Owner)} 23:43, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Banner

It was just a simple gradient with the color of the software project background thingy and white. I'm trying to make a .svg version, but I'm not good at illustrator (prefer photoshop/gimp), and it looks awkward atm, since I'm probably not doing things correctly. Here is the gradient: [1]

Here is what I have done of the svg version (which is messed up since the text is jagged instead of smooth like it should be, someone else who's familiar with .svg needs to make the .svg version instead) [2]

Do you want me to replace the current logo with the alternative one (I clone stamped the colon out since I didn't save the psd file)? Done, assuming its okay.ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 18:06, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:LiveUpdate.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:LiveUpdate.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:File:LiveUpdate.JPG|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Huntster (t • @ • c) 20:14, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:Talkback WikiProject

From Template talk:Talkback Wikiproject I have tagged this article for speedy deletion under criterion G2 as it appears it was used a sandbox for the Talkback template, though T3 does also apply. --Nn123645 (talk) 16:31, 19 March 2009 (UTC) Because the Talkback template doesn't work on WikiProjects. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 17:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC) This was fixed today after it was changed in this edit. —Nn123645 (talk) 20:10, 19 March 2009 (UTC) So you can use it for ALL talk pages, including WikiProjects and Articles? --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 06:21, 20 March 2009 (UTC) From User talk:nn123645 The talkback template doesn't work for templates so you have to create a template of your own user:nn123645/talkback fork. Just post your reply on my user talk page. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 06:25, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

At the time I created that page the talkback template was broken. For about a one week period (from March 13th to March 19th) the template did not support any namespace other than Talk and User talk, this was sense resotred to its original functionality. As far as using the templates for Articles and Wikiprojects, that is namespace dependent. Since the template currently supports the Article Talk, Wikipedia, and Wikipedia talk namespaces again the template at Template:Wikiproject Talkback is an unneeded fork of the talkback template. Since this discussion is already fragmented enough please place all future replies on this page. --Nn123645 (talk) 16:38, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

So how do you format the template for use for other pages OTHER than user talk pages. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 18:51, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Currently you can use the tp parameter to link to a non-user talk page. You must include the namespace in the link. An example would be {{talkback|Wikipedia:VP|tp=1}}. —Nn123645 (talk) 20:09, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

The code proposed on the talkpage went live. Now you do not need the tp parameter and can just enter in the link if it is to a non user talk page. —Nn123645 (talk) 20:23, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:monobook.js

There seems to be nothing wrong. However, you should change importScript("User:Lupin/recent2.js"); to importScript('User:Lupin/recent2.js'); just to be safe. Also remember to purge the page after you save. -download | sign! 00:45, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Norton LiveUpdate Deletion

Norton 360

First, let's start with a brief history of Norton 360. None of that technical stuff; N360 is more consumer oriented. Look in the Google News Archives for Norton 360 before it was released. I want to set the mindset of what Symantec had in mind for Norton 360: a set it and forget it program. TechOutsider (talk) 18:51, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Planetdead.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:Planetdead.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 07:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Tyw7 4

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Ironholds (talk) 12:01, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Go ahead delete it! --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 12:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

You don't seem to be getting it - you spelt "wikipedia" wrong. Because of that, it posted in the mainspace as an article. That is why I'm tagging it as a test page, not because I didn't think you intended to make it. Ironholds (talk) 12:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I didn't mispell it. I think there is something wrong with the RFA template. In fact, I corrected the errors! --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 12:32, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

The template is fine. You spelt it "Wipedia". Ironholds (talk) 12:34, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

No I didn't. I even didn't type any Wikipedia or anything. I just typed my user name and the comments. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 12:35, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

This isn't the RfA being tagged for deletion, this is the RfA talkpage (which doesn't need to be automatically created anyway) which you created with this edit. In regards to the "fixed IP" I meant that unless an IP has belonged to you for ages and ages (and you can prove it) we can't prove that those edits were yours. Ironholds (talk) 12:36, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

How can I prove it? --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 12:38, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Outdent: prove what, sorry? Ironholds (talk) 12:41, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Prove I am the only editor in the anon IP. That is because I mainly use anon IP without logging in. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 12:42, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't know - you could prove that you're the IP now, but not that you always have been. I'd advise always logging in in the future. At the end of the day it doesn't matter, there are so many other major concerns (the GA thing sticks in my throat particularly) that having 20,000 edits is unlikely to help. Ironholds (talk) 12:43, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

How can I prove I am the IP now. And what's wrong with the GA thing? --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 12:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

• Outdent so as not to be 30 characters to the right - post from the IP, of course. You need, at some point, to publicly declare these guys are also you, otherwise you might get WP:SOCK accusations. The problem with the GA thing is that you claimed to have got articles to GA, when you didn't. You said Norton 360 was the one you'd worked most on, and I counted four very, very minor edits that just played with wording. Ironholds (talk) 12:52, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

How's that!--90.215.103.6 (talk) 12:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Did you count anon IP edits? What is the def of minor edits? --90.215.103.6 (talk) 12:55, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Does restarting the router change the IP address? --90.215.103.6 (talk) 12:56, 28 May 2009 (UTC) --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 12:57, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Usually, depends on the ISP. As said, I would advise you to edit through your account. Factoring in IP edits I find the same thing - very few edits, and very minor ones in nature. Ironholds (talk) 12:59, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

• Read WP:CANVASS. Informing a select group (in this case, people who've worked with you) that you're running for adminship is a big no-no. Ironholds (talk) 13:25, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

  Read WP:CANVASS and look for "acceptable" ways. As a general rule, however, you're not meant to run around telling people - there is a group of regulars around RfA who will normally know when something is occurring. Ironholds (talk) 13:30, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

RFA further advice

(This is going to come off gruffer than it's intended to because I'm not awake yet.) Aha. I see I've given you a notnow template before. You did not heed that advice. The biggest overall problem is your lack of activity. You need 100's of edits a month to gain the needed experience, stay current with current policy and to build the 'pedia. You need to review thousands of articles to become proficient at recognizing when to tag for deletion. The "Wikibreak" notice on your talk page is a little off-putting for someone at RFA. That needs to not be there the next time. Don't know why the US flag appears in the Navigation column of the User page, but it is not helpful there. The whole prior username/anon contribs comes out a bit strained. Stick to one user name and build another 3,000+ edits with it. I am not one for a hefty article building requirement, but others are and you need more of that. From my standpoint, you need much more experience in admin related areas. I go for the traditional article patrolling with an eye to improving articles and reverting unconstructive edits. Many new articles need improvement in some way. Those that meet CSD criteria need to be tagged as such. Unconstructive edits need to be reverted, the editor notified of the reversion, and if the problem persists past a full set of warnings, the editor needs to be reported at WP:AIV. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 13:37, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I just closed your RfA early, as WP:SNOW. Please review the helpful advice above from Dlohcierekim. I hope you continue to work hard on the Wikipedia project. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me on my talk page or via email. Sincerely, Kingturtle (talk) 15:12, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Featured article nominations

I have removed your featured article candidate nominations (Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Norton 360/archive1 and Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Norton Internet Security/archive1) at this time. Per the featured article instructions, principal contributors must be consulted before a nomination, and nominations should be made one at a time. I appreciate that you are acting in good faith, but it is best if featured articles are nominated by people who have worked closely on them. In this way, they can give reasoned replies to reviewers and be familiar enough with the sources to act on suggested improvements. If I have missed some communication indicating that the significant contributors to the articles do indeed support the nominations, please feel free to resubmit one of the articles to FAC. Maralia (talk) 15:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I am one of the principle contributors of Norton 360. (Count the anon IP. I have listed the anon IP I use on my contributions page.) Although I didn't have many edits on the article, I follow the article closely. I can answer any question raised. --Tyw7‍ ‍‍ (Talk ● Contributions) Leading Innovations >>> 16:05, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Your /Contributions page is...baffling. While it is certainly helpful and honest to indicate that you have edited as an anon, no one should redirect IP user/talk pages to their account. IP addresses (even most so-called static ones) are reassigned all the time, and it's certainly within the realm of possibility that someone other than you may later use the six IPs you redirected to your pages.

The combination of all of those IP's edits to Norton 360, plus yours, still appears to be significantly less than the contributions of User:TechOutsider to it. It would be reasonable to consult him, and courteous to list him as a co-nominator if he agrees that the article is ready for FAC. In any case, if you decide to relist it, please address those concerns in your nomination statement. Thank you. Maralia (talk) 18:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Re:Admin coaching

I really do not have time to coach. I am already coaching several users, and I haven't had very much time for Wikipedia lately. Although I do not have time to coach you, I will give a few suggestions:

• Look at WP:AFD, WP:NPP, and WP:CVU and get involved.
• Take a look at WP:ARL
• Read WP:ADMIN
• Read some of the core policies
• Keep editing articles.

Re: Admin Coaching Tyw7

Hi. Apologies, but at the moment I already have three other admin coachees, so I'm afraid it would be best to contact another administrator. Nonetheless I'd be happy to answer any specific questions you have. Regards, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 18:19, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Your biggest weakness, in my opinion, is that you seem fairly desperate to get adminship. Wait until you have several thousand edits and perhaps 6 more months of experience before even thinking about running again, then you can re-evaluate the situation. Trust me, the tools are really pretty boring. :) Cheers, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 16:00, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Admin coaching

Yes, I would be happy to be your admin coach. Occasionally I may have to take some wiki-breaks for a few days because of some trips that I need to go on, but I will be on Wikipedia for most of this summer. You seem to be a great editor, and as the people in your last RFA said, which I just looked at, you need to work on things like nominating candidates for speedy deletion, and patrolling Recent Changes. When I became an admin 5 years ago, I managed to get confirmed without previously doing much of these activities, but that was a different and less sensative period in Wikipedia's history. After I became an admin, I started these activities and began to enjoy them. Let me know if you have any questions, and I look forward to looking at more of your contributions later. Academic Challenger (talk) 01:28, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: Admin coaching

I would be glad to be your coach. I notice that Academic Challenger already posted above, and Richardshusr has already created your admin coaching page; we can co-coach you if you wish. It seems that your RFA's have failed because of lack of experience. A few years ago, your RFA's might have passed, but since then the standards have been raised. I can help you get acquainted with admin-related areas; it is up to you to get enough edits by becoming more active. I do request that you do not nominate yourself for adminship or accept anyone's nomination but ours; one of us will nominate you when you are ready. I will post updates User:Tyw7/Admin coaching periodically, so be sure to watchlist it. Reply to any message posted on there, so we know you read it. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:50, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Rouge Admins

Hi Tyw7, I have seen you making comments about the group of "Rouge Admins" and seemingly voicing the opinion that they are at the root of vandalism. I think you may be seriously misunderstanding the nature of the title "rouge admin" and I think this may be a cntributing factor to your lack of succes at your RfA's. Rouge Admin is not an actual group of administrators who enjoy vandalising wikipedia and doing all of the other godless acts they say they subscribe to on their page - rather the page and the description of rouge admins should be understood as sarcasm. They are a group of administrators who have been accused of all of these actions by editors whom they have annoyed with their administrator actions - for example a blocked user may accused the blicking admin of being a "rouge admin" (notice that rouge is a deliberate misspelling of rogue mocking how less than fully literate vandals often write the word) or "a fascist" or part of a "Cabal" dedicated to hide the turth about x "fact" that the blocked user was trying to include in wikipedia. The rouge admins are then simply administrators who are not scared of engaging in difficult administrator actions against problem users - even a the risk of being called the worst kinds of names and being attributed the worst kinds of motives. They call them self "rouge admins" to show as a badge of honour that they deal with problem users and have received such kinds of responses by problem users. If you get to be an admin you might well experience being called a "rouge admin" when you use the admin tools against such users or have to moderate disputes in delicate areas of wikipedia, are you ready for that? ·Maunus·ƛ· 23:08, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Hm. It looks like your JavaScript is desperately in need of fixing. Are the edit toolbar buttons appearing at all, or are they simply unclickable? I'm worried that there might be some underlying problem, and per the above, I haven't a clue why your browser is unable to parse something as simply as MediaWiki's edit.js. Might I suggest sticking with another browser? That should fix the problem, at least temporarily. The Earwig (Talk | Contribs) 00:19, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

What does the template do? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 10:32, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

The template tells other websites not to mirror your user, talk, and other pages of yours. Since content on Wikipedia is licensed for free use (that includes your user and talk pages), other sites may save a version (for reasons unknown to me). I see Wapedia has saved a version of your user and talk pages; that is a mobile version of wikipedia, designed for cell phones and slow internet connections. Next time you edit wikipedia, note this disclaimer, "You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GFDL." Great talking to you again TechOutsider (talk) 12:34, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

The Momblog website poses the most concern because it seems to have been POSTED by a user not by an automatic mirror. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 12:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, content is licensed for free use ... it may be disconcerting however the poster has done nothing illegal. I think the best thing to do is to tell the poster not to post your talk page on the Mom Blog Network. Create an account, tell him, and maybe he'll stop. It doesn't seem to be any personal information. TechOutsider (talk) 02:46, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

How to make my talk page to be the top search result when I search for User talk tyw7 or talk tyw7? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 13:24, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia has no control over the search rankings of search engines such as Google, etc. You might get some information from the article Web crawler.  Chzz  ►  13:29, 6 July 2009 (UTC

You need popularity. Look up your user page in Google, and click rough it a couple thousand times lol! Or you can make a script to do so. ThaMoonwalker (talk) 00:06, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Children of Earth

Don't you find that separate sections for the individual days clutter the navbox?~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 22:27, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

I am excited about tomorrow! What exactly was Ianto's plot though? He got paranoid for a bit, contacted his sister, took the car, went to London and eventually found Jack? I don't know how to cover it and make it sound at all important.~Zythe^{Talk to me!} 23:46, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Question; reply

I assume you mean the 456 ambassador when you say "the beast", anyway Jack and Ianto shot at the tank, which appeared to be bulletproof, so it probably was not hurt. Whoniverse93 talk? 00:40, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't know what the 456 could be. To begin with I thought The Beast from The Impossible Planet/The Satan Pit or something like him. Then I thought it could be the Macra from the old series, which also appear in Gridlock, but perhaps it's a completely new monster. The 456 are only at Britain, not any other country because they struck deal with our government so that's why they came here I guess. I hope The Doctor appears in tonight's final episode, it would be great! Whoniverse93 talk? 09:35, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Jack can't die. He did die because he breathed in the virus but he just comes back. No they are not gay. Jack is...well I think he would have sex with any living thing, so he's bisexual. Ianto claims to be straight he just loves Jack and no other men, so he is probably bisexual as well he just hasn't admitted it. Whoniverse93 talk? 14:05, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

July 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia! I am glad to see you are interested in discussing a topic. However, as a general rule, talk pages are for discussion related to improving the article, not general discussion about the topic. If you have specific questions about certain topics, consider visiting our reference desk and asking them there instead of on article talk pages. Thank you.

Admin coaching

Sorry I haven't contacted you in a long time. I was actually a little busy myself. So how is it going? If you have anything new to add, anything you learned, or any questions you would like to ask me, feel free to make a comment at User:Tyw7/Admin coaching#July 2009. For the questions you asked on the page, XFD stands for anything for deletion, such as WP:AFD, WP:RFD, WP:TFD, etc. Meta-philosophies are basically: are you a inclusionist or an deletionist? That is, do you believe that Wikipedia should strive to include everything, or be more limited like a traditional encyclopedia? It's OK to be neither. For instance, I would not place myself in either category. There are also different levels of each: you might be a strong inclusionist, weak inclusionist, weak deletionist, or strong deletionist. With that said, you do need a lot more experience in deletion. Go to today's AfD log and participate in some discussions now! :-)

Also, it would be convenient if you could install Qui. Qui allows users to update their status and check whether somebody else is online. Paste this in your monobook.js:

importScript('User:TheDJ/qui.js');

Notice

{{help}} How do I make the notice above the edit box like when I was editing SoWhy user talk page. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 16:43, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

You could just look at the code by editing the page, see how it was done. The very first bit is {{User:SoWhy/Header}}, which transludes that subpage. Looking at User:SoWhy/Header, it has this code;

<div style="font-variant:small-caps; font-size: 16px; text-align: center; margin-bottom: 5px; font-weight: bold;">
[[User:SoWhy/Userpage|<span style="color: #AC0000">About me</span>]]{{bullet}} 
[[User talk:SoWhy|<span style="color: #35628F">Talk</span>]]{{bullet}} 
[[Special:Contributions/SoWhy|<span style="color: #AC0000">Contributions</span>]]{{bullet}} 
[[User:SoWhy/Barnstars|<span style="color: #35628F">Barnstars</span>]]{{bullet}} 
[[User:SoWhy/My mistakes|<span style="color: #AC0000">Mistakes</span>]]{{bullet}} 
[[User:SoWhy/Essays|<span style="color: #35628F">Essays</span>]]
</div>

So, you could change the references there to your own username, and then put that at the top of your page to get a similar banner.

I hope that this helps; for more help, you can either;

• Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
• Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
• Talk to us live, with this or this.

Your signature (again)

Hi there. I had previously notified you (on June 30, 2009) that your signature violates our signature guideline, specifically Wikipedia:Signatures#Appearance and color. I will assume that you merely overlooked it since you configured the bot to archive posts far too quickly (you should change that too, 2 days is too fast if you will not read your talk page every day). Anyway, would you please remove the size=5 part in your signature? Regards SoWhy 13:35, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

How to make my signature legible because they seem too small if I remove the size=5. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 14:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

How about not using Times New Roman? Times is a font which is smaller than others but you are not allowed to use any HTML that changes the size of the signature so when using it, you will have to accept the small size. You could also try some other variations, like other fonts (like Verdana (Tyw7), Georgia (Tyw7), Arial (Tyw7)) or style (bolden (Tyw7, italics (Tyw7). Regards SoWhy 15:18, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

How this? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 16:36, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I like the one you adopted now, the mix of Georgia and italics, it's decent looking, not too big and still not one everyone has. :-) Thanks for changing it. Regards SoWhy 20:53, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

ACC tool

Hi! If you want to regain access to the tool, here are a few quick questions, that I'd like you to answer please.

1. What would you do with the SUL link *utility?
   1. Check if there are similiarly named usernames already registered.
2. What would you do if the request had a red number next to the email address (give as many circumstances as you can think of)
   1. Ignore it and let other users deal with it.
3. An account request of "HighFlyMarketing" is flagged as needing an account creator: upon investigation, a similarly named account "High_Fly_Marketing" has no edits, no log entries, and was created 2-ish years ago. What would you do?

If the account the request is too similar to is inactive, defer the request by clicking "Defer to account creators" (these users can just go ahead and create the account). However I think that username is not a valid username since it is misleading.

1. What would you do with a request for the name "Cooladmin"?

Ask about it in the acc help channel. I would say deny it because I think such username is not alloyed

1. What would you do with a request for the name "J.De1anoy", similarly named account "J.delanoy"?

If the account the request is too similar to is inactive, defer the request by clicking "Defer to account creators" (these users can just go ahead and create the account). If the account the request is too similar to is active, then click "Similar" to close the request as too similar to an active account

1. What defines an old unused account (with respect to similarly named accounts)?
   1. An unused account is an account that is not active for a long period of time:Created over one year ago
      1. Account has fewer than fifteen (+ 1 or 2) edits
      2. Last edit was made over one year ago (if edited at all)
      3. Last entry in logs occurred over one year ago
   2. A similiar named account may or may not be inactive but it's name is very similar to the one requested like stwalker and stwakerster.
2. An IP address has posted 35 requests for different names, over a large time period. what would you do?
   1. Defer it to another user.
3. A request for "[stevie]" has been made. What would you do?

Deny it because it will cause formatting problems

1. What password should you fill in at the creation password prompt?

Nothing

1. When should you override a rservation made by someone else?
   1. You should never override a reservation made by someone else. If you have any doubts about the request politely leave a message on the reservers talk page or ask about it on the acc irc channel.
2. What does the "Reset request" button do, and when should you use it?
   1. Undo the last request. You should use it when you doubts the last acc accountee actions.
3. You encounter a request that you are unsure what to do with. What should you do?

Ask about it in the #wikipedia-en-accounts irc channel.

Let me know when you've completed the questions. Thanks, Stwalkerster [ talk ] 19:55, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for answering the questions.

1. No. That's not what that tool does. see WP:SUL
2. [not answered]
3. It's not misleading, but it is promotional. close enough.
4. This one is misleading.
5. Given I linked to the similarly named account, one look at the link should be enough to tell you enough. it's something about the phrase "This user is an administrator on the English Wikipedia" that tells me this user has more than 15 edits.
6. Pretty much, nice C+P there.
7. [not answered]
8. Yes and no. it won't cause formatting problems, but the software will prevent you from creating it.
9. Spot on. Actually, this doesn't matter - as long as you then click the correct button, it ignores the content of those boxes. It's just quicker and less effort to leave them blank.
10. Spot on.
11. "Undo the last request"? So it'll delete the last request that anyone has made from the database? Besides, the other part of the answer is also wrong.
12. Yep, or leave it for someone else.

Your answers still don't convince me that you know what you are doing. It also concerns me that you have been asking people for the answers, rather than getting the answers from the guide and other linked documentation from there. Most of the questions only require knowledge of the guide, and common sense. The one about User:J.delanoy kinda required you to know he is an admin, but given that I linked to his userpage, this should have been obvious. Some of the answers are wrong, but close enough that they'll pass. However, given they are "off target", but within the "boundary", it concerns me about the "accuracy of the throw" (to use a sports metaphor), and how many will fall outside the boundary. There is no way of undoing an action on the tool, every time you click one of the "close" links, an email is sent to the user. If you close a request one way, then decide that you should have closed it another way, and close it that way, the user will have received two contradicting messages from the tool. For a newb, this is confusing at best, and at worst will turn the user away from Wikipedia, which I find unacceptable.

I'm quite worried that should you regain access to the tool, that you will make those mistakes, because I still don't feel you know what you are doing. Sorry. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 19:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I missed your previous comment on the DLR article. I'm happy to look over something and give some comments but, possibly oddly, I'm not as interested in the trains that run on the tube and DLR system as the infrastructure on which they run. Therefore my knowledge of them is not very great and I don't possess any literature on the subject. --DavidCane (talk) 21:23, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Pictures

Hi!

You wanted some pics of the Class 390 Pendolino and the new 378 Electrostar (not Turbostar) on the Overground (unless you meant the 172?). Well I saw a 378 at Stratford station one evening last week, but by the time I got to the new platforms it had pulled out LOL! 390s are out of my remit so to speak, as my collection is mostly stations within the M25, and the 390 doesn't stop anywhere within the M25 (save for Watford) so I have never been on one of these trains! Anyway, not to come to you empty handed, I found:

• Class 378 pool on FlickR (you are allowed to transfer FlickR shots straight into Wikipedia of you like, with appropriate licence tags)

http://www.flickr.com/groups/875923@N24/pool/

• Class 390 interior - couldn't find too many of these online, and this may not be legal to copy into Wikipedia:

http://www.railwaypictures.co.uk/img2074.search.htm

best, Sunil060902 (talk) 12:12, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Actually, doing a search in Google Images on "Pendolino interior" brings up far more images than "390 interior"!

• http://images.google.co.uk/images?q=pendolino_interior&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&hl=en&tab=wi

Sorry about the FlickR copyright, some images are OK if they have "BY" instead of "(C)". Guess we have to wait until the 378s are in wider circulation.

As for the DLR article, what information do you think is missing? best, Sunil060902 (talk) 13:01, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Once leaving London, Class 390s don't stop anywhere within the Travelcard area, sorry, so I don't ride these trains (same with the East Midlands diesel trains). BTW I replaced one new DLR stock picture because it was duplicated in the infobox. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 16:30, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Admin Coaching

Hi, Tyw7. I've been thinking it over, and I've decided not to take you on as a coachee. After some recent events that I've observed of you, I've decided that adminship is still quite a few months way, and it would be better to wait a few months before getting an admin coach.

Beta Wikipedia

{{help}} Why doesn't qui work in the beta version of wikipedia? I found out many aspects of the old wikipedia (like the * purge button) does not appear in the Beta version of Wikipedia. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 15:37, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

• Beta_version#Beta  Chzz  ►  11:44, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
• (ec) The purging gadget works, look for the link called "Purge" (not "*") in the drop-down menu. I'm also fairly certain that Qui works.
  Your vector.js contains quite an amount of scripts, some of them badly maintained. I'd assume that one of them stopped working and is taking the rest down with it. You should either throw them all out, in particluar User:TheDJ/monobook.js, and add them back one by one, while bypassing your browser cache. That, or use a browser with a usable javascript console, like Firefox, and check in which script said console reports errors. For more focused help about a specific script, talk to the people who maintain it. Amalthea 11:51, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Then why does it worked in the "non beta" version? And which scripts are "broken"? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 11:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Some scripts don't work with Vector skin. They can prevent loading of other, unrelated scripts, which is why they worked with Monobook, but don't with Vector.
I will not check all scripts you are using to see which ones work and which ones don't, I've tried explaining above how you can do that yourself. I have tested the purge gadget, the UTC clock gadget, and Qui, and all work using the Vector skin. I'm certain that all other Gadgets work as well, so it has to be one of those you import in your vector.js script. Amalthea 12:56, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

But they work ONLY with these options enable:

• The JavaScript Standard Library, a compatibility library for browsers that lack full support for JavaScript 1.6. This includes Internet Explorer, Opera, and Safari 2.
• Compatibility function to run scripts only tested on Monobook on the new Vector skin. Required for using Twinkle or Friendly (along with many other

scripts) with the Vector skin. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 13:07, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Not true. And please stop leaving me talkback notices, as the big box at the top of my talk page says. Amalthea 13:13, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Did you test these tools in IE8 AND beta version WITHOUT these options selected? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 13:37, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes. Amalthea 14:29, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I need this option to be enable for the gadgets and qui to work:

• Compatibility function to run scripts only tested on Monobook on the new Vector skin. Required for using Twinkle or Friendly (along with many other scripts) with the Vector skin.

--Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 15:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

• I'll say it a third time: "Some scripts don't work with Vector skin. They can prevent loading of other, unrelated scripts, which is why they worked with Monobook, but don't with Vector." Until I see you clearing out your vector.js you quite simply can't say which script it is that dies without the compatibility thunk. I am convinced that it's not the fault of those two Gadgets you mentioned.
  And what would be your point anyway? That you need compatbility scripts to work on skins they weren't intended for (Vector), or work on some broken browsers (Internet Explorer)? That's what the compatibility scripts are for. Amalthea 16:53, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Stop bothering the Mediawiki developers.

Please stop bothering the MediaWiki developers. Not all gadgets work on all browsers, in all situations. If you are not capable enough to deal with this, then you should not be using Javascript gadgets and scripts. —TheDJ (talk • contribs) 13:03, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

I actually made it and uploaded it in school today, but the image doesn't exist, and doesn't show up on my contribs either so I'm REALLY confused as to what happened, I don't have the .svg at home, so sorry. Also, the color will be off a bit, as I don't know how to make the gradient perfect color (haven't figured out how to modify gradient colors besides by using the color picker), you should probably go ask the web graphic request (don't know what its called, but there was iirc a wikipedia userpage ad for them) since I'm not that skilled with vector art. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 23:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Cameras

Hi, sorry I don't have a lot of time right now. To get to the point though, I don't think any mobile phone camera is going to take good photos. I honestly don't look into them much to tell you which ones are better or worse, but the basic point is that they are really only for emergency use as far as I'm concerned. You're never going to produce FP quality images using a phone camera, at least not with any model I know of or can foresee.

For FPC the basic requirement is that your images are at least 1000 pixels on at least one side. In practice bigger is usually preferred, especially for big things like buildings (and train stations, trains, etc). To give you an idea, an image of 1000 x 1000 pixels would be 1 megapixel. There are many images under 2MP still being promoted, but usually they're of bugs and birds and that type of thing. Nonetheless my point is don't be fooled by the megapixel measurement. Trade good quality for megapixels any day - if having twice the megapixels means you simply have to downsample to half the size to get the same quality, you're gaining nothing, but that is as often as not the case. IMO no phone camera should be more than about 2MP in reality as the lenses etc simply can't handle bigger resolutions. The rest is just marketing.

Re what settings to use that depends on what camera you have and what it lets you do. It also of course depends on what you're taking at the time. Composition is again something you need to learn through practice and through observing other people's images. Can I suggest for starters that whether you want to vote or not, you visit FPC regularly and see what images are regarded as well composed. After a while you may start to get more of a feel for your own composition. The other thing is to divorce yourself from ownership of your own images. What I mean is take them home, put them on your computer, and say I don't care who took this, if I saw this would I think it was a well composed image - really be honest with yourself and look for things that are wrong. If you want to discuss a particular image I could give some suggestions, but for example I mentioned at PPR that those shots just looking straight across the station weren't very engaging, with the one looking diagonally across being better. Open them both up, forget you took them, and see if you can see any reasons why I'd say the diagonal one is better.

Drop me another note if I can be of any more help, or if you'd like some advice on buying a real camera. --jjron (talk) 08:35, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

Your proposed barnstar

Ty, I am such an ass. I failed to leave you a message that your proposed barnstar is being discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Wikipedia Awards#Proposed Image Barnstar. Please join our discussion. Sorry I forgot to do this earlier. Unschool 03:51, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

FPC

I have closed Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Cassio Carved Bridge and Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Staffordstation as the images were simply not of a high enough quality. To echo what jjron said above, your camera is simply not good enough to produce featured quality level shots. Be aware that a lot of our photographers are spending hundreds of pounds on equipment for their photography- I myself paid around £400 for my camera (which is not nearly as good as many people are using), and I am going to look into investing more (for a tripod, for a start) so that I can hopefully start contributing pictures of a higher standard. If you are interested in the featured picture process, I strongly advise you spend some time around the featured picture candidates page, getting an idea of what is expected, and I would also advise taking the advice of those who offer it- jjron's advice above is very sound. J Milburn (talk) 09:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to note that these are not wprthy of VPC, either. You seem to have ignored the advice offered to you on the picture peer review- you're really wasting everyone's time here. It's good that you're eager, and it's great that you're adding these pictures to the articles, but please, the pictures themselves are not good enough for FPC or VPC, and, again, I strongly advise you hang around and watch (maybe comment here and there) for a little while before considering any further nominations. If you have any questions, you can contact me on my talk page, but please do take advice from myself and others when it is offered. J Milburn (talk) 09:22, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I nominated the Cassio Carved Bridge pic because it was significantly clearly than other pics. In addition, I have "edited" the pics using Adobe photoshop to correct the lighting, etc. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 09:56, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Without even going in to the poor quality of the camera, it should be immediately obvious that the dating on the image precludes it from being viable as a FPC. Note I have also closed your VPC nominations. J Milburn (talk) 10:06, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 10:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

The watermark showing the date in the image itself was not appropriate for a FPC. There were also numerous other major issues. These things were explained to you at the peer review, here on your talk page and on the FPC/VPC pages. Again, all I can recommend is that you take a read of our FP criteria and valued picture criteria. J Milburn (talk) 10:58, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not going to argue about you being banned from any IRC channel, I wasn't responsible for that, I was merely reporting it. I know you had no intention to misguide newbies, but, as you were told at the time, some of your "help" was less than great. In any case, this is all in the past, so there's not really much point debating minutiae now. J Milburn (talk) 17:02, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. Regarding the warning for vandalization.

I hope you take a closer look at the editsdiffs presented at [[5]].I understand you warning me based on a brief look the presented editdiffs. But the list list is not correct and the characterizing of the edits are tendentious to speak mildly. In conclution most of those edits ar not only of good faith but easyly motivated as ordinary editin within wikipedias policys and benefiting the article. I editing an responce on the side and if needed an detailed explanation and analyse of each of the edit. It is possibly that as a whole whole accusation can be called false and a personal attack in a more calculated way than those presented before. If so found I think it is a very severe violation by Jiujitsuguy (and Stellarkid (talk), not be taken lightly. Untill further noted I stay away from reverting and keep a low profile at the article. Regards Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 21:22, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

I've downgraded your edit warning. I'm not an expert in the Gaza War but I suggest you keep a cool head. By the way, I wonder, why are you interested in the Garza War? It's such a "hot" debatable subject. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 13:43, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

I read this article and started to help out with the conflict in lead. It was a case of ppl ballancing different not NPOV statemente and it bloated the lead. I removed the pov-material to a new section and left a good NPOV summary. It was of goldstone report btw. A user, RomaC, i think called me "Mr Unsigned Anon" (my first edits was as IP) on talk and I took that as a username. I continued to edit on the subject (International Law) as I read about it in reports and news. The International Law section had a similar problem as Lead. It has a Main Article and should therby be a NPOV summary, not bloated with parts views and jounalistic dramaturgy. Far more than the encyclopedic content. In short, it needed to be trimmed down.

Now, as one see the section was full of responses to accusations. Accusations from UN against both parts. The responces defending israel and trying to attack the UN factfinding report was a huge mass of text, bigger than the encyclopedic content and didnt belong there. Easy understandable. But I waked the rage of some editors supporting israel who started to attack me in all kind of ways and rest you know. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 20:12, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Mr Unsigned Anon

Hi, Tyw7. I wanted to weigh in since I just saw my contribution here. I did spend a fair amount of time on that list, but as in all things there may be (probably are) errors. I did not really expect it to be in an official forum or I would have double-checked everything. It was motivated by what I saw as a systematic attempt at removing and destroying material that had been put in by other experienced editors, and being reverted (not sure they were all technically reverts, but certainly they were in spirit) with little to no policy-driven arguments. When you remove the crux of the material that someone puts in, it essentially reverts the idea. I was really attempting to document what I was seeing, and for any mistakes I do apologize. I don't apologize for having made the attempt to document, though. MrUnsignedAnon came into the article on the 24th September with a very strong POV and went so far as to suggest to Juijits (have a hard time with the spelling, so, "Jui") (more than once) that he recuse himself from all Israel-Palestinian area editing. Frankly I was outraged by that. (will those diffs if you insist, but would be happier to move on). And by the way, I think how you handled this so far was very fair. It looks as if an important compromise has been reached in the lede as well. Not sure why, or how, but maybe you stepped in at the right moment! So, thank you.

I see you would like to be a admin. Good. Then you shouldnt answer this "weigh in" with a "Glad to be of help"! as if you agree to all statements in this above (Im afraid you got royaly manipulated by him and Jiujitsuguy on Wikiquette alerts). If I was you I should feel damn angry being used like this and make sure to go deeper investigating wtf going on. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 22:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

How do you suggest do I investigate. I was simply agreeing to the bottom sentences to quell the arguement and prevent escalation to a Wikipedia Gaza War between you and jiu. I'm quite inexperienced with this Gaza War article. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 23:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

You could for start investigate the list of editdiffs (the ones stellarkid compiled) and come to the conclusion that it was a load of crap. If not so redicilous I would brougt it to Wikiquette when Stellarkid put it on jiujitsuguys talkpage. And presented (by jiujutsuguy) at Wikialert it is a personal attack followed the ones I started to present there in first place. It is a false accusation, with bad intent. Manipulative to give the impression that im a editwarrior. Take a look at jiujitsuguys edithistory, the talkpage of gazawar where he neglect policybased advice from experienced editors. This say much [[6]] and this [[7]]

Then the above "weigh in". Look, he got "Frankly I was outraged by that" by "and went so far as to suggest to Juijits" "he recuse himself " You saw the editdiffs from jiujitsuguy on Wikiquette I presented first? first of them:

"Your English is barely understandable so it's difficult for me to respond to your incoherent, illogical arguments. Again, I suggest you take a two-year English course and come back when you can articulate a coherent thought."

He (Stellarkid) compiled the list and state accusations here on your page that contains lies. Easy understandable if you just look at his own presented diffs. Read edit summarys, talk.

What happen? I get serious warnings on my talkpage (still one there). Fuck my life.Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 00:53, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

for your confidence, but i don't see much movement on that thread and the editors have been warned (both i think?) so i'd rather not inflame it with an additional viewpoint. let me know if it escalates and i'd be happy to help. untwirl(talk) 02:37, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

October issue WP:LT newsletter query

I know this is a bit late asking but it is still early in the month. I was wondering whether you'd be interested in doing the October issue of the Metropolitan? If so, it needs to be done ASAP. It should be got out by the end of the week. Or do you want to do the November issue instead\as well? Simply south (talk) 19:20, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

i'm interested but what should I do? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 23:09, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

From where you created this month's edition, you need to update with what has happened this month (or rather last month and the start of this month). For the editorial sections see User talk:Simply south/February to August 2008 archive#The Metropolitan and User talk:Unisouth#Metro. For sources see Wikipedia:WikiProject London Transport/The Metropolitan/sources. The London Transport news section is generally updated from looking here. Also you can change the design if you like. Perhaps look at previous editions of the newsletter to get a general feel for it. Simply south (talk) 21:10, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

I've updated a few stuffs. I now hand it over to you. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 00:54, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Is there anything you want to comment on the assessment, maybe show that we are slippingh and comment on the progress. Also check the cats to see if there are any new featured articles and good articles to both add and remove. Do you want to do any other changes? Simply south (talk) 15:10, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Never mind. Thanks for what you have done so far. Are you interested in doing Next Month's? (It won't be so big either as this month is already nearly half way through) Simply south (talk) 21:51, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for bringing it up again in Wikiquette alerts.

Things flame up elswhere too [[8]]. Best Wishes Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 11:04, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi. As you decided to drop your engagement in my alert regarding jiujitsuguy I hope you remove your warning on my talkpage. As it seem based on jiujitsuguys statement with the flawed collection of editdiffs and as I assume you dont going to look deeper into it. It should be seen as a small misstake and corrected. Still thanks for your help. Regards Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 07:16, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

What is on your talk page is yours to delete or achieve on your own discretion. However, it would be consider bad to remove things from OTHERS talk page. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 12:20, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Yes I can remove it my self but it really not change anything and is little wrong if not put on a archive, Im correct? I like you to remove it ( it makes it formal removed like you downgraded it earlier) or atleast remove the part "Stop reverting the edits of Jiujitsuguy (talk · contribs). Instead of reverting his/her edit, why not just add yours to the article.". Only you (or admin after lenghtly wrangling) can actually remove it correctly. As you might saw juijutsuguy used the vandalwarning against me [[9]] even after you downgraded it.[[10]].I dont want him to have that opertunity to get previous uninvolved editors or admins to act upon me in good faith. And then I have to go thrugh explaining and demanding them to waste time to understand jiujitsuguys shenanigans thru lot of editdifs, and refer to you, possible involving you agan against your will. Regards Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 22:28, 10 October 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I really appreciate it. But I have also learned lot of this how important it is to edit within Wikipedias policy and build good concensus. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 10:56, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Contribution page formatting

Here's what it looks like on my system.

File:Tyw7Contribs.png

It might be because I'm using the Usability beta instead of Monobook.... --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:42, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm getting it correct. There is no such overlapping. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 18:44, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

So, you're telling me I Photoshopped that to make you look bad? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 19:15, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

No. I'm saying to me it doesn't look bad (I'm using Monobook btw). --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 19:16, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

It may look correct on your page. It looks horribly using other skins, other font sizes, some other browsers, if a sitenotice is displayed, if some custom CSS is used, and probably in other cases, too. Don't use it. Amalthea 19:19, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

What's wrong with the formatting of my userpage? And how to fix it. BTW, most of the users use monobook. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 19:22, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean, what's wrong? Look at the picture. You fix it by removing {{title override}}. If you're content that it only looks bad for some editors, that's your choice. Amalthea 19:33, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Nevermind that, your talkpage is an eyesore, I suggest removing some of those banners. Neat and simple is better, but that's just my opinion, take it or leave it. -- œ^™ 02:32, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Best place to take a pic would be Crossharbour when a train terminates. Everyone will get off (no one will get on until it reverses into the other platform), and then you can take a pic of the empty carriage. Happy to help, Sunil060902 (talk) 11:14, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Symantec.png

A tag has been placed on File:Symantec.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  Chzz  ►  21:35, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

October Metro - better late than never

Also thanks for the help you contributed to this. Simply south (talk) 21:57, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

October 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from File:Symantec.png, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.  Chzz  ►  23:58, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

User:Tyw7/licence

Re. User:Tyw7/licence

It is not appropriate to impose any conditions on copyright, such as "If you are a (commercial) publisher and want to relicense my pictures please email me first at [email redacted]. ".

The CC licence covers the attribution in detail; please do not add your own conditions; doing so will invalidate the licence.  Chzz  ►  00:08, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Chzz, the template says relicense, not reuse. The commercial publishers are still able to use the image under the original license. J Milburn (talk) 00:09, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

Your recent addition to File:Symantec.png has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. The image was speedy deleted (after you removed the speedy deletion tag), "21:58, 14 October 2009 PeterSymonds (talk | contribs) deleted "File:Symantec.png" ‎ (<deletedhistory>: F9: Unambiguous copyright violation)" - yet you uploaded it again 17:47, 15 October 2009.  Chzz  ►  21:45, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

For goodness sake, the first and second images ARE different from each other!! The second image is MY own creation using the Yin and yang symbol found at the article. Plus, another admin agreed with me! I didn't remove the notice!!! He said "picture too travia for Symantec copyright to apply".--Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 00:19, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

This is thie "second picture" --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 00:23, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, yes, we were wrong - both myself and the deleting administrator. As I could not see the older version, when I saw the new one on commons, uploaded so soon after deletion, I thought that it was the same.

I still have concerns that it is a misrepresentation of the brand, possibly a trademark infringement; I will try to check up on that. It seems to me to be an attempt to circumvent the system, which does not allow us to use the copyright logo. In the same way, I could design a gold-coloured letted M that was similar to the McDonalds Golden Arches, and if I used it for e.g. a computer badge, I think it would be OK - but, if I used it on a T-shirt, next to the word "McDonalds", then I think I would be breaking the law. As I said, I will try to check that further; I realise that there are other examples, such as the Windows logo in user boxes. Sorry again for any confusion about the similar file.  Chzz  ►  00:54, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

P.S. You did remove the speedy deletion tag from the copyrighted version, at 15:03, October 14, 2009.  Chzz  ►  01:02, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that. I think our edits clashed. I was just changing a summary and adding the source of the image (first) --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 01:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi again!

Hope I dont disrupt you but I got problems with Jiujitsuguy again. He answered on a complaint [11] in a very familiar way[12]. Your weight in regarding his old list of editdiffs whould be very helpfull. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 02:05, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Now he's beginingi to get on my nerve! I would say let it go! I'm started to agree with banning him as he seems to be trying to start a was than cooperating.Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 03:09, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Please don't tell me to disengage from any article. First off, I've edited other articles as well. Second, I've researched the Gaza subject thoroughly. All my edits are well sourced and at times, double sourced. Mr Unsigned Anon contributes no original research of his own but insists on reverting all my sourced edits. I will not disengage as I have done nothing wrong. But I will not sit back helplessly and watch someone trying to push a POV. If you go to this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nableezy#Sleepy_Goldstone you'll see that rather than promoting edit wars, I'm trying to foster compromise between editors.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 14:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I can not for the life of me understand how you've taken his position over mine. Have you seen some of the things that he's said on my talk page as well as the Gaza discussion page? I've compiled a list for your review.

• Come on Wikifellows. His IP says he is from Brooklyn USA. Why on earth can one believe a guy from Brooklyn working for the Israeli Goverment. Just look at all nice areas and etnic... Borough Park... Wait! Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 12:49, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

• Finally I found that recruitment office. Now where is jiujitsuguys bankacount so he can get that recrutbonus? Lookie new bombwest. Wonder what happen if I push this red button. Oh shii.... Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 05:22, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

• Just trying to grind up a solution, no accusation involved. But BashBrannigan suggestion is a middleway. No bold text and no Cast Lead. And thats just the first part of lead. Damnit, there is more diputed. But without you and Nableezy agrea this will take long time. I understand he will drop the bold text if Im right. Cant you accept BashBrannigan:s? Its attractive to me as 'Cast Lead' is, even kind of abstract as I never been in Gaza, a name splattered by up to 926 civilians blood. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 09:06, 9 October 2009 (UTC

• Yes, November 4 shit started... Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 16:19, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

• If you are a Israeli or American jew I like to discuss some tings with you. Because there is some things i dont understand and you could help me with it. But first I think you should stop edit articles about the conflict between Israel and Palestinians. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 09:19, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

• Never mind, hope the weather is good in Brooklyn. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 17:31, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

The first comment is particularly vile. Do you subscribe to this view?

In the second comment (left on the Gaza discussion page) he makes some reference to my bank account. What my bank account has to do with Gaza is beyond me

In the 3rd comment he clearly shows his true colors and demonstrates his bias, "as I never been in Gaza, a name splattered by up to 926 civilians blood."

In the 4th statement he uses gratuitous profanity

And in the 5th he assumes (wrongly) that I am of a particular ethnic background. This is an inappropriate question to ask and I found it to be offensive in the extreme. After his last comment, I informed him not to leave messages on my Talk page but apparently, he has difficulty understanding instruction because he still does.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 15:01, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

This is the latest, just posted message left on my Talk page by Mr Unsigned Anon baiting and goading me to engage him in an edit war. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jiujitsuguy#Gaza_War_3 This last post should make it clear as day to you who the bad guy is.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 15:32, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gaza_War#POV_tag for Mr Unsigned Anon's latest "helpful contribution" to the Gaza Discussion page. Instead of adding something that someone can genuinely respond to, he spews at best, incoherent gibberish and at worst, another profanity.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 17:27, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Can you provide the edit dif for the above statements? That will help support your case. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 21:20, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I absolutely can and will. Just give me a little time to put the package together.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 00:05, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Ok, Arb. But I was just to file a 3RR violation on him. What do I do with it now? Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 21:34, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Try disengaging with the conflict. Or go to the IRC to ask for "expert admin help" http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikipedia-en-help --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 21:44, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I hope this statement "Based on the edit difs, it seems Mr. Unsigned Anon trying to start the war. He provokes with name calling and repeatedly opening up the case." isnt based on the above. It looks really bad edited out of context. If it going to be of importence, which I suspect, I can arrange the editdiffs. Mr Unsigned Anon (talk) 22:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

But DID you do the name calling? And as long as I remember, I and untwirl (talk · contribs) ASKED you to disengage from the case. And what will re arrange the editdiffs do? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 22:52, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

I decided to leve 3RR for the moment. And namecalling is not what I call it. I call it framing. Or manipulation if you prefer. Probably 'playing the racist card' or even antisemite. For example look what happen to this without editing and last whithout the commatation: short: I dont whant the word cast lead in the first paragraph in article Gaza Wars leadtext but in second paragraph. from a consensusbuilding.

Mr Unsigned Anon

The last message u left on my talk page was whether I can provide u with the Diffs that gave rise to my allegations against Mr Unsigned Anon. You indicated that based on those Diffs u may be able to have him blocked for disruptive editing. Before I was able to compile the list, I was blocked for 1 week by another admin becuase Anon alleged that I violated 3R policy. I wasn't even given an opportunity to respond. In any event, I've compiled the list of Diffs you requested.

Here [[14]] he is warned to stop engaging in disruptive reverts.

Here [[15]] he makes inquiries about my race.

Here [[16]] he accuses me of working for the Israeli government and also makes derogatory accusations based on alleged demographics.

Here [[17]] he asks me about the weather in Brooklyn based on his belief that I live there.

Here [[18]] he makes reference to my bank account on the Gaza discussion page.

Here [[19]] he taunts me to engage him in an edit war.

And they block me. I am asking that you intervene and at the very least, impose the same sanction on him. It doesn't make a difference if you're 17 or 77, you have the ability to address overt racism and disruptive editing practices.--Jiujitsuguy (talk) 04:34, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

I did. But lost :-( I brought this issue up to the Abritary enforcement committe but they just said Unsigned Anon to not take the bait. Anyhoo I'm not an admin so I can't block Unsigned. Therefore, you better contact the other admins through the IRC channel. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions) 13:38, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

To be honest, the vast majority of those are minor edits, and the few that were not were generally either removed later on, or significantly reworded by other editors.

Yes, the addition of references was good - but it did not raise the level of the article. You say that you "significantly improved the article from a "crappy" article with no references to a decent C-grade article!" Well, if you look at the history on the talk page, you will see that when you made your first edit (17:13, 13 June 2008), the quality of the article (as shown on the version of the talk page here was "B-Class" with High Importance for WikiProject London Transport. On 12:08, 29 July 2009, you changed it to "start class" for WPLT (see here), at 14:24, 29 July 2009 you changed it to start-class and mid-importance for WikiProject Trains (see here); You decided (13:01, 8 August 2009 here) that it should be in American English - I'm not sure why you did this, as firstly I didn't see a concensus about it, plus it's about the British DLR - so surely it should be British English. Finally at 19:03, 15 August 2009 (see here) the article is reassessed as C-Class by Pyrotec - whose assessment I happen to agree with.

However this means that the article has not improved, but declined (from B-Class which is the step below GA status, to C-Class which is the step below C-Class (i.e. two steps below GA) and one step above start-class).

If your comment "I significantly improved the article from a "crappy" article with no references to a decent C-grade article!" was to be part of an RfA, it would not take anyone at the RfA very long to see that it had gone down to a C-grade from a B-grade - and that you did not recognise that a C-grade is below a B-grade article... and that would be before they even looked at your edits on the article and saw that they were mainly minor edits.

Anyway, I thought I'd say all this here - I've just spent almost 3 hours looking through all those edits, and typing up the summary here - longer than I spent on the original review I did! Now I can (belatedly) go to bed!

Happy editing -- PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 03:58, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: Pictures

The images do not qualify for free use as the photographer and production company that produced them did not release them under a free license, they have the images under copyright. We will only use a copyrighted file if it is absolutely needed and there is no chance that a free image could take it's place. This isn't a matter of what you do and don't believe, this is a matter of legality. Feel free to add the pictures of the cast members found on their respective pages. These images have been released under a free license and this has been verified to be true, the images in question are not. It is explicitly stated that the image's are copyrighted. ς ح д r خ є 01:59, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Also, could you please give me a link to the page you are talking about? ς ح д r خ є 02:02, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

No. That image doesn't. It also has an improper source. We need a more official source, such as the official site. Free images can be found on the Commons. ς ح д r خ є 02:09, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

The attribution notice should go one the talk page, more references will be needed. Yes, that image is fine, remember to make sure it is rendered low resolution, otherwise, you can't use it. Upload the image and I will make sure everything is kosher. ς ح д r خ є 02:15, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Hm. that image may not be the best because of the writing. If I find a better image, I'll tell you. ς ح д r خ є 02:22, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:AlexRusso.jpg

Replaceable fair use

Thanks for uploading File:AlexRusso.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mifter (talk) 02:22, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Copyright violation

The episode summary that you restored to Hannah Montana (season 3) here, is a clear and blatant copyright violation of TVGuide which is why it was removed in the first place. I indicated that in my edit summary.[20]. Please do not restore the offending content to the article. --AussieLegend (talk) 04:18, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

WWE Raw edit.

I made an edit adding that WWE Raw is the longest running show to have NOT taken a hiatus, and you changed it back. It is very misleading to plainly say that Raw is the longest running show when it is clearly not. Within the body of the page it mentions the hiatus aspect and it should show the same in the introduction to adhere to accuracy.

Try again, I was not the one who vandalized. Look in the edit history, 72.207.63.191, it was that user. Thanks though.(MDesjardinss (talk) 00:11, 25 December 2009 (UTC))

Speedy deletion declined: Irritable male syndrome

Hello Tyw7, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Irritable male syndrome - a page you tagged - because: criterion A7 does not apply to a term or concept. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. decltype (talk) 15:28, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

is great, but looks funny at AIV - "vandalism .. Changing the world one edit at a time!". When I first saw it, I was sleepy and thought a vandal I know (who was changing one byte/article/second) has returned :-). Merry Christmas and thanks for your help.

Yes, there was even a proposal recently to have a bot do that. I'm getting lost in welcoming templates and still use old {{welcome}}, but there are much better looking ones (not that above though). Materialscientist (talk) 23:31, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

That's going to be a lot of people to welcome xP. I believe most vandalism warnings include a welcome of some sort, but that leaves out the good editors. Netalarmhappy holidays! 23:47, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Possible spam linking user

What do you think should be done with this user? This user has a history of "advertising" that organization, but I'm still hesitant to use the rollback all button. What do you think? Netalarmhappy holidays! 23:48, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

--Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 23:50, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

When you look at the About page at Obscure Sound, it is a blog written and maintained by one man. Despite being generally informative and well-written, as per WP:RS and WP:SELFPUBLISH, blogs are generally not considered to satisfy Wikipedia’s reliable sources policies. If it were a blog that is part of an actual media company (e.g., the ArtsBeat blog at The New York Times), then it might be considered a reliable source. At first glance, I think that Obscure Sound does not qualify.

Finally, as regards its placement in the External Links section of a wikiarticle, at WP:ELNO#11, the policy is that such links to blogs are not permitted, “except those written by a recognized authority.”

If you want to be really certain before deleting, try your query at WP:RSN. Thanks for letting me butt in! — SpikeToronto 00:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

Haha, thanks for the input. I've reported the user too, and he has been blocked. I looked into this user, and it seems obvious that he's only here for spamming links to the blog. Now I have to begin a long process of removing all of their spam links in places where rollback all has failed... Cya guys around! Netalarmhappy holidays! 00:20, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

"4 chan" vandals

DO NOT REVERT MY MESSAGES

Thank you--Mamalala (talk) 03:17, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

???

Forgive me, I don't see what was unconstructive about it. The picture of Ali was inappropiate for the following reasons: It is not a real portrait of him and the beard shown isn't the recommended style in Islam. So you can see how that picture can mislead people. Whereas the picture I posted, was appropiate.--Theverdict111 (talk) 03:22, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Also, why did you remove my comment on the person's talk page? Isn't it up to him what he has on his page and not?--Theverdict111 (talk) 03:27, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Not Vandalism, Link Updating

You removed my edit from this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clandestine_Insurgent_Rebel_Clown_Army , claiming it was vandalism. I was not at all vandalising anything. The link that is currently there is expired, and I was updating it with fresh, working links. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.188.234 (talk) 04:08, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

So...

...everybody else who points out your errors gets a nice little apology for the "false positive." I get four vandalism warnings on my Talk page. (And why were those edit summaries so much more polite and humble than the ones I got at Talk:Second city, anyway?) Whatever. And hey, what do you know: everyone agrees that the redirect you were so desperate to protect makes no effing sense! (Now, User:Pharaoh of the Wizards, can you at least let Tyw7 revert me himself this time?) 24.126.115.61 (talk) 04:11, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Happy holidays Tyw7. I'm so sad. Generation Z will stop accepting new members in just around a few days.

"Personal attacks"?

Hey, buddy, how is accusing someone of vandalism for clearly acting in good faith not a personal attack? If you had left your nice little edit summary - "Hey, this is automated, let me know if it's a false positive!" I would have left a polite message on your Talk page, but you just kept reverting me--and threatening me with a block--for no reason without even acknowledging it was automated. I cannot believe you still won't admit how asinine that was. 24.126.115.61 (talk) 04:04, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

I would also be very intrigued to see your algorithm for deciding "Gee, thanks SO much for the friendly and well-considered note on my Talk page, but redirecting this page to Talk:List of second cities makes no sense whatsoever" is the sort of edit summary used by someone to commit vandalism. I think it appears to be the edit summary of someone who sees that something doesn't make sense and is trying to correct it and is annoyed at being interrupted for no reason, but hey, I'm biased. (Note that I am still assuming the whole interaction was automated, except for the removal of my notification to you on your Talk page, simply because I presume a thinking person would a) recognize the problem and b) if they actually disagreed, would leave a helpful edit summary addressing the dispute. Not that I think it's remotely acceptable to send four automated vandalism warnings without ever checking their validity. Does the human element come in when you actually put in the block request? Is that why I'm still not blocked?) 24.126.115.61 (talk) 04:12, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see now: I was reported, you didn't bother to notify me of the report, and it was dismissed one minute later. Bravo. 24.126.115.61 (talk) 04:16, 30 December 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of my edits w/o checking updated sources.

You have repeatedly deleted my edits to The Stig's page. Each successive time I added further references, but judging by the speed of deletion, you failed to take notice. Please restrain yourself from your self-righteous conquest to eliminate "vandalism." Read the Wikipedia definition of Vandalism, then explain how it relates to my actions.

Please don't be a prick.

 -SakanaAtama (talk) 06:56, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Nope (if anyone's reviewing a new RFA for this guy, they should check this out)

Check out the edit history. Yes, your edit summary included a tiny "(HG)" linking to Huggle at the end of what otherwise appears to be the standard automated revert summary; you can't possibly think that's sufficient to indicate that you're removing vandalism using an Anti-Vandal tool, and that if this is a false positive I should assume good faith and kindly tell you about it. In fact, I know you don't think that the (HG) is sufficient, because for most of your other edits you spell out that message quite clearly!

When I saw you'd responded on my Talk page, here's what I thought I might find: an explanation of what happened (that the whole process was automated, or that you simply weren't paying enough attention, or something else) and particularly of why you used no real edit summary; a brief apology for the hassle; and some vague assurance (perhaps completely empty but with at least a courteous air of sincerity) that you would try to avoid similar mistakes in the future. (A note and/or strike-out indicating that the warnings you gave me are total BS would also have been nice.) Instead, you chose to tell me it was my fault for somehow randomly picking the wrong words in my edit summary, and also my fault because I was less than completely gracious in the face of your thoroughly rude and unwarranted harassment and attempts to have me blocked. I don't know if this kind of crap is why your previous RFAs failed, but I'll be looking out for your next one. 24.126.115.61 (talk) 19:01, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Editing through edit conflicts

Hey, Tyw7. When dropping an in use template on an article, it's best practice to check the edit history to ensure someone else isn't already actively editing the article at that time. If someone is, as in the case of NuclearWarfare on The End of Time, you should wait a bit, or message them to request they let you know when they're done. Also, if you encounter an edit conflict, do not save your edit over theirs. It undoes all of their work. Let me know if you have any questions. Lara ☁ 02:11, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Please use Window Clippings for capturing images

Yes. You do have Aero, so please use Window Clippings to capture high-quality images.

Reasons:

Preserve alpha transparency (Your images do have)

Also include windows's shadow (which is a part of Aero, it felt original)

Recommended by everyone :)

OK, Keep doing your way, as you feel right.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chronology of the Doctor Who universe

Hi Tyw, I noticed that you performed a non-admin closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chronology of the Doctor Who universe. However, there are several reasons why this may not have been a good idea:

• There is no unanimous, or even near-unanimous consensus in the debate
• The AfD has only run for one and a half day
• You are not impartial as you have participated in the debate yourself.

I have therefore re-opened the debate. For more information about when it's appropriate to do a non-admin closure, see WP:DPR#NAC. The WP:NAC essay may also contain information you may find useful. Regards, decltype (talk) 13:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I thought it was uanimous cause there are only three votes for delete and 10 votes for keep. --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 14:08, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

I see. Still, consensus is judged not only by the number of comments in favor of keep / delete, and you should not close debates in which you participated yourself. Also, debates normally run for at least seven days. decltype (talk) 14:19, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

So how to determine whether a vote is unanimous or not? In addition, if a vote is inclined to keep, it is not considered unanimous? --Tyw7  (Talk • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 14:32, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Tyw7, the short answer is that you should not be closing AfD debates. Try reading the rules. You'll find it helpsElen of the Roads (talk) 14:36, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it is explained on the link i've given. You have to do it via the meta tags, thus I'm not sure you can play with them on Wikipedia(I left the help banner). --Stroppolo^talk 21:54, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Given the difficulty, I would advise against it. Instead look at what effect you're trying to achieve and how it can be rendered correctly in the browser that isn't working; forcing a particular browser to operate in a particular way isn't a long-term solution to a rendering issue. Josh Parris 22:42, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Make sure you're searching for compatibility view (not any of the variants you've typed above - this is not a crack at you, search engines have no sense and don't pick up on when you've accidentally used the wrong word the way a real live human does). However, it's generally not considered good form in internet accessibility circles to attempt to force a browser to operate in a quirky way to fix a rendering problem, as it can prevent people from using accessibility options in the browser, 3rd party accessibility software, or certain hardware.Elen of the Roads (talk) 22:48, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
