nut shell
i posted the nut shell, i had to shove a month worth of events into it and even then its a read. I am sorry i just can't think of how else to do it. I have a super tight and a less tight nutshell.
Nut shelling a month of stuff is hard, and its hard to keep all the facts linear because its been a crazy month. Yami (talk) 05:03, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

thank you
I know there was no consensus with some of those things but i still don't get why those editors war editing with me was ignored.
I mean there might be a consensus to keep the Breast article lede, but where was the consensus to keep 8 images being removed from a 57 image long gallery?
I don't want to drag this out, and i tried to let it go last time after the public complaint but we're right back were we were then.
Like i have said it takes more then 1 person to edit war, and i feel these users are too protective of that article, and maybe Dreadstar might have been protecting the editors who he's worked with longer then me.
But i have been trying to discuss it with these editors but they say i'm censoring, forum shopping and being WP:TEND for correcting their counting of the poll and not agreeing with Atom's decision. Well i get blocked for being "Uncivil".
Why didn't Rlevse or Dreadstar tell them not to claim people are Forum shopping who aren't? Or why didn't one of the two tell Atom that hiding a gallery isn't censorship or that removing 8/57 images is not a huge change need of a debate? Asher196 edit wared with me on 8/57 images. Atom edit wared with both me and Asher196 using the old censorship card.
Atom has also said things that i find very WP:OWN and WP:TEND. Like this where he says he has a Different Opinion and wants to block my edits. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Ejaculation&diff=prev&oldid=229663086 Read the Last bottom one.
That doesn't say WP:OWN or WP:TEND or some other WP:(insert policy)? Or what about his claims of being there for 7 years? That would make me think someone has been involved to long and might be over protective like WP:own talks about.
I wasn't even the one who came up with the idea that WP:OWN applied here it was Useight.
ITs alright for these editors to accuse me of something, but they don't even get in trouble for accusing me of something?
This whole situation just seems screwed up. I don't plan on going there any time soon really but i hate to think of what damage these editors are going do to the article. You know they went and made a bunch of changes involving the gallery by putting the images in the article without consensus but i have to get consensus to remove 8/57 images.
Maybe i'm bias or my POV is skewed but it seems a little unfiar i have to make a debate to make 1 change and they go ahead and make dozens of them without a word. Yami (talk) 20:01, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Re: Help
Many thanks for your help, I appericate it. I will see if I can get consensus to get mms: links added as they are in use alot around the web. I do, most of the time, link to the page the link is on (or a WinAmp link instead), but in the case of WAXM they have the mms: link on their front page.

"el rabioso" Blitz - funny business afoot
Hey, there, you just speedy deleted an article for "el rabioso"Blitz. I just did a check online and it appears the new user who created that article, PRwrestling, is promoting that wrestler for its league, Puerto Rico Wrestling. You can confirm that here: [1]. I just put in a report at WP:UAA if you want to take further action on this. Thanks Ecoleetage (talk) 04:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of High Uintas Wilderness
I noticed that you deleted High Uintas Wilderness, and I wanted to know a little bit more about your rationale. I don't know how to see the original text, but I thought I had made a few edits, so it seems like it can't be 100% copyright infringement. Did it have a speedy delete tag or regular delete tab that I missed? I think the article needs to be in here and am willing to rewrite/research it to bring it in compliance. I was surprised that it was deleted so quickly without any discussion. I don't stand for copyright violations, but I would have liked to have had a chance to fix the problem. Thanks. --Glennfcowan (talk) 05:03, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for restoring it. I understand the reasons for the quick action and am glad we found a good solution. I will make sure to put some meat back in the article. --Glennfcowan (talk) 04:58, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Florence Flea Market
Hello,
Could you please move the Florence Flea Market article to my talk page so I can edit it? This is an article that a client of mine requested. It was also my first Wikipedia article.
Any advice you can give on how to rewrite it so it is encyclopedic would be hugely appreciated.

Florence Flea Market (again)
UltraExactzzz, I posted the "userized" page that you suggested after adding the year founded and a statement about the market being the oldest and largest one in the region.
Now someone named Harro5 has deleted it. This is getting incredibly frustrating--can you help?

florence flea market news article
I did find the following news article about counterfeiters who were discovered at the flea market....
In 2007, the flea market made news headlines when the South Carolina Secretary of State discovered four vendors were selling counterfeit goods.
Will this work?

Mooretwin
Hi, I've been helping Mooretwin with this because I believe he's been treated very shabbily. He's been blocking for defending a community consensus which is an exception at WP:3RR. He was not edit warring, merely following policy. The Thunderer (talk) 17:38, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- You're being as reasonable as your conscience dicates and I respect that. I still feel it's too strong an admonishment though. Mooretwin seems to be quite prolific and if he needs a slap then give it to him but blocking is rather severe I feel, especially when he felt he was acting as Fides Defensor. This could kill his enthusiasm. The Thunderer (talk) 18:23, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- would you agree to putting those terms to him? As I said I have no real previous experience of the poster other than discussion on the ROI naming convention (but have always found him reasonable). It would be a better slap on the wrist (followed by reprieve) if he agrees to those terms. If he doesn't of course he can go jump off a tall building. My defence of his actions is based on reason and logic but only up to the point where he ceases to deserve a break. The Thunderer (talk) 18:37, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Re Palin:
"I've removed the material again, as 1) It implies bad faith on the part of Gov. Palin, which is not neutral, 2) It is not about Gov. Palin or her actions, but the possible position of an organization, and 3) it is sourced to a Youtube video."
My citation was to a video, which cannot be disputed. It is relevant because there is objectively a dispute about her political party registration (see the work of other editors), and because the AIP leaders say they recommend "infiltrating" other parties. I'm just reporting documented facts.
Continuing to delete properly cited references can be considered vandalism and may result in your being blocked from editing. Please stop. --Zeamays (talk) 20:05, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
"I have twice directed you to the article's talk page..."
Ultraexactzz, you need to realize that this is a controversial topic. Material that you don't agree with that is properly documented should not be deleted without good reason. Your aggessive language has no place in Wikipedia. For your information, repeatedly deleting properly documented material is considered vandalism. --Zeamays (talk) 20:26, 2 September 2008 (UT
Ultraexactzz, my reasons for re-instating material deleted were given in the Edit summary line. See for example:
(cur) (last) 19:51, September 2, 2008 Zeamays (Talk | contribs) (80,949 bytes) (→City council and mayorship: Restore properly documented information that is relevant to her registration as a Republican. Delete repetitive material.) (undo)

Wasilla Assembly of God and Ed Kalnins
Wasilla Assembly of God is referenced on Palin's page, but the link to the page is broken and no one will fix it. All of [[Ed Kalnins]' exact quotes creating the controversy were deleted from his Wikipedia page, even though they were explicitly referenced with news reports, and more importantly, with links to videotapes in which he can be seen making the remarks.
Aren't you curious as to what all the media buzz is about? I posted a large number of new references from yesterday. here is one from today:
According to Robert Stern of The New Jersey Times of Trenton reports that “The Rev. Ed Kalnins had no way of knowing he'd become a controversial figure in this year's presidential race when he left his West Amwell congregation nine years ago to preach in a sister church in Alaska.”
Stern also writes that “Since taking his sermons to Alaska, Kalnins has preached that critics of President Bush will be banished to hell; questioned whether people who voted for Sen. John Kerry in 2004 would be accepted into heaven...” http://www.nj.com/news/times/index.ssf?/base/news-5/1220414733189230.xml&coll=5
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to see the actual quotes on Wikipedia, and then go to the links to verify them yourself?
Wasilla Assembly of God is editing its own page under the name WasillaAG, to delete all quotes of its controversial pastor.
Maybe yo could weigh in on the attempt to delete his Wikipedia page, or to fix the link for Wasilla Assembly of God on Palin's page. EricDiesel (talk) 17:26, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Wasilla Assembly of God
The article is now sourced by the Chicago Tribune and the New Jersey Times of Trenton.
There is more discussion of the Palin pages on the Wikipedia:Notability policy page.
Notability is not transferable from entity to entity by mere existence of a relationship. However, being an acknowledged school, church, or teacher from which came controversial ideas for which a notable person has become notable does transfer notability. The best example is a school of thought or teacher of a major historical thinker is notable. For example, paintings of Rembrandt' teacher are exhibited at the Getty next to Rembrandt, whereas otherwise they might not be exhibited at all. The paining is not of note, however upon reading why it is on the wall, it is of clear value in understanding the evolution of Rembrandt's innovative methods. Palin’s quotes on the religeous basis of the Iraq War being identical in theological reasoning to reasoning coming from her church makes her church notable as the matrix from which such unusual reaoning comes.

AFD Closure
per this:
No template, but you've now attempted to revert the close three times. The close is proper, as pages that are not articles (in the mainspace) cannot, by rule, be nominated as Articles for deletion.

UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence 18:34, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

I've stopped, but please don't justify that close, it's incorrect, it was done too rapidly and speedy keep is invalid as policy is clear on memorials WP:NOTMEMORIAL.

Regarding your vandalism revert of John
Hi there. I recently noticed that you reverted a large number of edits by multiple users to the article John, all of which constituted vandalism. I was wondering whether you could advise me on the simplest method of reverting such large amounts of vandalism, as my attempt to revert an edit using WP:HG unfortunately only resulted in my resurrecting some previous vandalism? Thanks in advance. It Is Me Here (talk) 18:04, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Talk page for New Life College at Bangalore
Hi, I see you deleted Talk:New Life College at Bangaloreas "(G8: Orphaned talk page which is not useful to the project)". Is that correct? It does not appear to be orphaned: New Life College at Bangalore. There was some page-move vandalism that was partially reverted by another editor, and then some more by me, but I'm hoping the wrong talk page did not get deleted. The right targets for deletion were the leftover Page Deleted and Talk:Page Deleted. TJRC (talk) 22:19, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
AFD notices
I think you missed my point - I am sick and tired of spending many, many hours of work to defend the structure of the survivors series only to have certain people bitch and moan about: why is it written like this, its not notible, the photo captions do not follow someones limited interpitation of wikipedia policies and now the newest by BillCJ (who seems to get a high out of tormenting editors) the titles of the series do not follow HIS naming conventions.
If you look at all the survivors series, they have a specific layout and follow a strict pattern in formatting - it is not a hodgepoge of information thrown together randomly by laidout in a specific pattern.
For the most part, I am just very tired of fighting what seems like a never ending war against certain editors and except for some of the great comments which have only now appeared on the AFD page, I have gotten no positive feedback or support from the community. I have fought too many of these edit wars to get my ideas across - lately, I am spending more time fighting to keep my ideas alive then creating articles - this is not what I signed onto wikipedia to do.

RfA Review - Thanks for keeping it going
As you can probably tell I've been heavily inactive of late. Work has been ramping up for me, leaving me with little free time. Of the free time I get, a lot of it's being swallowed up with wedding planning. As a result, the time I'm gettign to spend on WP is pretty slim at the moment. With all that in mind, I wanted to drop you a note and tell you how greatful I am that you're keeping the RfA review process going. it means a lot that people like you feel it's worthwhile continuing the work, and I'm really impressed with what you're doing. As and when work and real-life settle down, I'll do my best to come back and lend a hand again. For now though, keep doing a fantastic job. You have my thanks. Gazimoff 10:14, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Watchlist-details
Hey there. I noticed you were an administrator who was willing to add items to the watchlist. If you see this mediawiki talk page discussion, you'll see there was a lot of support and good justification for adding this RFC to the watchlist. User:PeterSymonds was willing to do it, but he retired before we finished composing the RFC. You'd be doing the community a big favor if you added it. If you need further explanation why, I'd be happy to go into more detail. Reply back here, or at my talk page. Randomran (talk) 02:18, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
- Hey! Thanks for the support. I was thinking something like this:
- Notice: There is an ongoing request for comments regarding the notability of spin-out articles and the relationship between the main notability guideline and the subject specific notability guidelines. All editors are welcome to participate at this RFC.
- Feel free to copy-edit or change the formatting if need be. But that's the gist of it. Randomran (talk) 17:11, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Category counts
In re this, heads up that Simetrical's patch is live now, so once you view a cat with less than 200 members, it will auto-correct the summary numbers in the DB. Your minus-8 compensation has now been rendered quasi-unfunctional. :) Franamax (talk) 01:09, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've shamelessly stolen your code with that neat purge trick. Carefully attributed to you in case it blows up, so we know who the real monster is. ;) Can you review this change? Will it actually be helpful?
- Another question: have you ever tried putting in a "fullurl/purge" for your own user page itself? Seems to me this would have the effect of forcing a regen of the page each time it was viewed - which would possibly only be visible on the next page view, and some WTF moments could result. But if you're forcing a purge of the categories, why not also purge the target page - or would that make things 'asplode? Franamax (talk) 10:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion review of Sano Sansar
Please, I have asked you for a deletion review of Sano Sansar. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review thanx. (NepaliBoy7 (talk) 18:29, 24 September 2008 (UTC))
- NepaliBoy7 asked me to review the deletion of Sano Sansar as well since I actually did the Speedy Delete. The reason it was nominated for SD was for G12, copyright infringement and I found two other sites with substantial amounts of the same text. I see no sign that the deleted article went through a formal AFD or Deletion Review at any other time. Just FYI. I'll leave a note on NepaliBoy7's talk page.

I added some references to SevOne. You may wish to revisit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/SevOne. -- Eastmain (talk) 01:48, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
Comment at AN
You know, the PROD template uses a timestamp to change its text, so that it authorizes deletion once 5 days have passed. Could we add such a parameter to some of the CSD templates, building a buffer into the process? Say, something that would only add the article to CAT:CSD after 10 or 15 minutes? It would limit the biting, but would still keep a speedy process moving along - and, obviously, would not be used on templates like {{db-attack}} and such.

- This is a really good idea, and one that I support. I think getting a formal proposal up and running would be a good idea (and thus, I pass responsibility on to you!) Giggy (talk) 09:49, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Wherever takes your fancy. If you put it in project space too early someone might CSD tag it, though...! *shifty eyes* Giggy (talk) 12:24, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
- Seems good. It'd require CSD tags to be subst'd, then, which would require changing all the automated tools. Which are the most important part of Wikipedia. It gets my seal of approval nonetheless. Giggy (talk) 13:03, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

deletion of Dwayne Perkins page
Thanks for your notes. it seems having someone else write about you is the main criterion for not being and "ad" apparently someone already did. I had nothing to do with that one and somehow that got deleted too. I didn't even know it had been created until i went to create one on my own. People come to wikipedia for information. So if someone chooses to type my name in the search engine and they get my page I fail to see how that can be construed as promotion or an ad. The only way people see my page is if they search on my name which means they are looking for me which in and of itself suggests some level of notability. I will peruse the rules but as of now it feels like a very subjective thing is being sold to me as cut and dry. I'm sure the case for my page being ok is almost as strong as the case against it. I have videos on youtube that I did not put there. Articles written about me that I did not generate or spur. Plus, someone I don't even know has already tried to make an article about me. I am also referenced on other pages, most notably a page about Comedy Central's specials. I am one of the few comics to perform one and i am listed on their page. I'm not here for promotion but more for validation. There are plenty of people on my level who have pages/articles here. It's not promotion as much as it is simply making a factual reference page. I don't mind the community deciding my fate on this but I don't feel the community has spoken. Just a few gatekeepers. Thanks again.

Time-delayed speedy deletion
Hey Ultraexact. I like the process described at User:Ultraexactzz/Fake Real Person, but I'd like to be sure it works. I don't see your fake person article showing up in CAT:CSD. Is that on purpose? EdJohnston (talk) 20:05, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
You Are Cordially Invited (even if you don't have a mic)...
You are cordially invited to WP:NTWW ep. #25, wherein we talk about this whole inclusionist/declusionist/CFD/prod thing. Just a forum, I think. It's on at 22:00 UTC on Oct. 4th. If it works. Which it might not. It probably well. Xavexgoem (talk) 01:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
Equus unprotect
There is still an admin protect on the box with the horse picture on Equus the play, even though the rest of the article seems to be unprotected. I tried correcting the typo tonight but was unable to do so. LovelyLillith (talk) 04:28, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of Nashville NOiR
This article didn't seem all that spammy; I did what I could to take out the excessive bits, and even blocked the promo username myself, but the article was in decent shape. Any chance you could restore this? GlassCobra 18:51, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
DELETION OF DIRTY SOCKS
Fine sir, I do not think that I am doing this properly, and if I have altered your page I am sorry. Having said that, a recent contribution of mine "Dirty Socks" was deleted by you. I am sure that you have your reasons, all that I would like is to have the original text back. Thank you!

In a discussion at WT:UTM, you stated that you intended to move {{uw-blpse3}} and {{uw-blpse4}} to other names to avoid confusion with the other uw-* standardized templates. This is just a friendly reminder, as I noticed today that you haven't gotten around to it yet. Anomie⚔ 19:15, 5 October 2008 (UTC)

One of the advantages of not having many supporters at your RFA is that there are fewer people to thank at the end. Thanks for your support and your willingness to look at my complete record. I'm going to try to interpret this resounding defeat as a statement that I should choose my words more carefully in the future, and remember that every statement I make gets recorded forever, just waiting to get carefully transcribed onto my next RFA. I would go insane if I believed that it was repudiation of what I truly meant: that no editor should consciously and willfully ignore guidelines and policies, and editors that repeatedly do so should not be rewarded for or supported in doing so.
I'm sure I'll get back to full speed editing soon, because, after all, , every day, and in every way, I am getting better and better.—Kww(talk) 05:37, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
Problems with this deletion. The text being from http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05543b.htm, an old Catholic Encyclopedia article, it is not original research. It is not copyright either, the book being from 1913. And it is not incomprehensible, either, even if not everyone regards scholastic philosophy as comprehensible at any level. So ... I'd like to establish that this material can appear in a recreated article at some point - certainly that wasn't an ideal adaptation, but it could be done better.

Family Online Safety Institute
I believe you said the FOSI page was good to go the last time we went over it. I haven't really had much of a chance to work on it recently, but just wanted to confirm it was ok as is. If so, how do we go about moving the page to its proper spot? Again, I appreciate all your help in getting to this stage. Pastadog42 (talk) 01:05, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
