Alan Cabal

I do not understand how you can say that the blocks on these articles is justified.

The article on Kurt Nimmo has been blocked for over a month, even though the issue originally under contention has been resolved. Jayjg had no right to block the article because I might edit some other part of the article.

How is what I did on Alan Cabal edit Warring. I reverted one other persons edits one time. Doesn't an edit war have to go on for a little longer.

Let me walk you through a timeline. In the space of one day I made a complaint to Jayyg that it was time to lift the ban on Nimmo and he refused. In the same he blocked the articles on Ward Churchill and Alan Cabal. He always seems to convientely block the articles after by edits have been reversed. How is this not wikistalking.

Please I am asking you once again to lift the bans on these articles. There were banned not on some neutral plan to keep the peace, but because of a bias Jayjg has against me. annoynmous 00:25, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Okay I'll admit that the Ward Churchill article counts as edit warring, but how does Alan Cabal count as edit warring. I have a total of 4 entrys on that article, how is that edit warring.

Kurt Nimmo has been blocked for over a month. Isn't there a limit on bans. Don't you think the bans on these two articles should be lifted. annoynmous 02:57 1 May 2007 (UTC)

This is Alan Cabal speaking. I fully approved of the article in its original form, although I think it bears mentioning that I am frequently accused of "anti-Semitism" for equating Nazis with Zionists and suggesting that the great dramatic sui generis "HOLOCAUST" might have been just a tad bit exagerrated. Have fun, be excellent to each other, fuck Israel up its tight little herpes-ridden ass RIGHT NOW, preferably with a chainsaw. ---AC

Henry Pollack

Could you look at the article Henry Pollack and see if it isn't baised or if he is making too many edits. Also i believe some of his sources have nothing to do with what he is discussing.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Callelinea (talk • contribs) 23:04, April 30, 2007 (UTC)

• I believe what Callelinea is referring to is the fact that the subject of the Henry Pollack article is editing the article itself, raising WP:AUTO issues. Tabercil 05:32, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

OTRS

Just in case you aren't aware, a policy was recently implemented by the Wikimedia Foundation, regarding access to nonpublic data (see [1]) Please note if you do not comply with these rules you should remove yourself from OTRS volunteering where your name is listed. Otherwise, please ignore this message :) Kind regards, Majorly (hot!) 17:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

DataSynapse

Why did you delete our company pages - DataSynapse, GridServer, and FabricServer? They were not blatant advertising as the content simply stated what the company does and what the products do. We didn't promote anything. In no way were these advertisements.

How is it any different than the following sites? They too have a few links directing other to their site. We only had 2. The other links were to unbiased 3rd party write-ups on our company to show worthiness.

- ColdSpark, Inc. - United Devices - Quest Software - Platform Computing - VMware

Thank you, DataSynapseInc

Why was the article about Habitat for Humanity Armenia deleted?

I really do not understand why the article about Habitat for Humanity Armenia was deleted. The article about this charity was informative and there was no advertisement whatsoever. There are pages about HFH Canada and Ireland, so why not Armenia. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.113.25.195 (talk) 05:35, 2 May 2007 (UTC).

Abuse help

I couldn't find anywhere to report abuse so I just resorted to contacting the closest administrator. Please look at my Talk page on my profile. A user there has written some less-than-kind comments, to put it mildly. I don't know this user and have never encountered him/her. Please look into it or direct me or the issue to someone who can take care of this issue. Thanks.--SOCL 13:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

What th—?

Mr.Z-man, who is not listed as a member of the Mediation Committee, has

• declared himself as taking a case
• declared himself qua mediator as favoring one of two sides

—SlamDiego 03:56, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

I am now informed that there is a difference between the Mediation Cabal and Mediation Committee. —SlamDiego 04:30, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Northport0491.jpg

Perhaps I'm blind--the image currently says "To the uploader: please add a detailed fair use rationale for each use, as described on Wikipedia:Image description page, as well as the source of the work and copyright information.". There is no such fair use rationale that I can see (perhaps you thought the box itself asking a fair use rationale to be listed was it?). Please have a look; I didn't shove back my notice in case I'm missing something. Komdori 19:28, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Just a quick word...

You know, ever since I requested that MedCom case and you denied, I always thought you weren't too fond of me. Then you come out with very strong support at my RfA, and then co-nom. I must admit, that surprised me! You truly are a great editor, and I hope to work with you in the future!

My kindest regards,
Anthony 21:35, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Category:Weeaboos

• You recently deleted this category which I marked as vandalism. The author, AgamandTheTrue (talk · contribs), has vandalized several userpages and should be blocked, and his sockpuppet too. See my report at WP:AIV. :) JuJube 03:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

csd.js

Hi ^demon. Would you object if I took your csd.js and made a page protection version of it? I'll give credit where it's due, of course. – Steel 19:49, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Good, because I've already made it :P – Steel 19:53, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Kingdom of Montenegro flag

Why the hell was it deleted? It's a flag, they are not copyrighted, so I really don't understand why you had removed it... Sideshow Bob 20:50, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh well... I haven't noticed it was pending for deletion. I'll just re-upload it and put an appropriate template, as I did to the flag image linked to it that is nominated for deletion as well.Sideshow Bob 20:59, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

The CSD images you asked me to help with

The autoblock went away. You can delete this now: Image:USS Lofberg.jpg Thanks, Armed Blowfish (mail) 01:11, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

RfM/Phi Kappa Psi

I made a request at Wikipedia talk:Requests for mediation. I appreciate that the Committee may simply be busy or pondering, but I wanted to make sure that the request is seen. The other active disputants have agreed in principal to mediation by a member (or by members) of your Committee. —SlamDiego 01:22, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Template orphaning request

Hi ^demon. I've closed the tfd you started on the Dragonball templates, so could I request that your bot orphan the the templates? There are quite a bunch, which is why I think a bot is the best solution. Thanks, Picaroon (Talk) 23:58, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

The four codes, DB, DBGT, DBZ, and DB Movie, correspond to three versions of the show and the show's movie. I think replacing the templates with plain text stating what movie(s) the characters appear in is the best solution (As you mentioned in your nom, these symbols mean nothing to those unfamiliar to the show; words, however, mean something to everybody who can read English.) For example, {{Appears in:DB, DBZ}} would be replaced with "Appears in [[Dragon Ball]] and [[Dragon Ball Z]]", and so on. How does this sound? Can a bot do that? Picaroon (Talk) 20:12, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Nuclear Power Plant Picture

You deleted this picture Image:Nuclear Power Plant 2 cropped.jpg, giving the reason in Nuclear Power as "(Removing image using NPWatcher. Reason given was: "Per CSD I3 - image has an invalid license".)" I obtained that picture and it was released for unrestricted use - I had a fair amount of trouble getting it. Before I go to the Deletion Review process, would you please restore it and put an appropriate license tag on it? Simesa 01:38, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind -- They swapped pictures on me, mine is just fine. The one above is a cropping of a different picture. I'll let that picture's author decide what to do himself. Thanks, sorry for the confusion. Simesa 01:44, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Request for revision

Hello, I wish to discuss the archiving of Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 April 27#Template:Military-Insignia (2nd nomination). You closed the discussion because "Closing as no consensus". I basically started this mess and I ask that you reconsider this action.

If you re-read the long discussion you will see that the problem is a major legal one: The template claims all insignia is free use due to Geneva convention and the opposite claim is this is a misreading (more like "wishful reading") of the laws. If the second option is true (and honestly, no one brought any legal proof otherwise) it can cause legal action against us. I don't really think any country will ever sue Wikimedia Foundation for this type of infringement, but if they do, we (meaning also other projects using the same template, e.g. commons) are in real trouble.

I'm not active in EngWiki (I am SYSOP in HebWiki), so I don't really understand the local processes of deletion, revision and legal aid, but I plead with you: Do Something. This template cannot stay as is. Sincerely, DGtal 15:46, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the speedy comment. I still ask you to reconsider a more aggresive action, but the action you suggested is certainly a minimal requirement. Since I don't deal with templates much even in hebrew, I request you add the text you suggested, including some explaination. Thanks again, DGtal 16:06, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Spiner.jpg

You claimed that copyright info had been added to this image but I fail to see a source.Genisock2 20:27, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Angellocsin.jpg

Hello, I noticed that you removed the {{no copyright holder}} tag with the edit summary "Has source info". It does indeed have source info; but that is not what the "no copyright holder" tag addresses: that tag addresses the fact that no copyright holder is indicated. The image is from http://angellocsingallery.blogspot.com/; can you tell who the copyright holder is from looking at that website? I cannot. Unless we can determine who the copyright holder is, the image should be deleted. --Iamunknown 22:18, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:2142 hud.JPG

Hi, I noticed you deleted File:2142 hud.JPG as having an invalid fair use tag. I was looking over it when it was deleted. I was about to clear the CSD label. I was wondering if you could say why you think it was invalid? --Selket ^Talk 00:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I was going on the note that said it was a screenshot from the beta, which violated the company's NDA. I felt that violated any potential for fairuse. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 00:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. --Selket ^Talk 00:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

When you remove images from pages...

Please remove the whole image tag, not just the image :) You're doing a great job on the follow up for licenses, just remember not to mess up the pages ;) -- Ipstenu (talk|contribs) 13:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

omg plz wtf

Can you please pay attention before deleting images that have a "non-commercial use only" licence, checking whether fair use is claimed?? Images cannot be undeleted. The nerves of Mstudt (talk · contribs) are frayed already. She is trying to upload images under fair use which are at the same time licenced under a non-commercial licence. "non-commercial use only" images are only CFD if NO fair use is claimed. dab (𒁳) 14:24, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

More generally, "speedy deletion" does not mean "instantaneous deletion". You should not warn a user, and in the same moment delete their images. Give them a moment to react, for chrissake! Trigger-happy article deletions can always be undone, but with premature image deletions, you can really cause damage. dab (𒁳) 14:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

so? If you are contesting fair use, why do you speedy delete the images on grounds of the "non-commercial use only" licence? There is a reason "fair use disputed" is not a speedy deletion criterion. If you dispute fair use, you use {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}. Unilaterally deleting the images without warning is a very bad idea. dab (𒁳) 14:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Requests for mediation/Ancient Egypt and race

You've accepted this for mediation but the two involved user have been blocked again for 3RR and edit warring. I wanted your opinion on the appropriateness of seeking arbitration to have these users blocked from editing this page. I'm not sure what can be solved at this point with just a "sit down" between these two editors. I'm not sure how much you've looked into the article in question but a once over of the article its talk page should shed some additional light on the problem. Regards. NeoFreak 13:31, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:$05a.JPG

Hi - you recently deleted the local copy of this image because it had been moved Commons. However, it appears that it used a fair use license ({{Money}}), which means it's not allowed on Commons. Could you check, and if that's correct, restore the local image, so that the Commons one can be deleted without messing things up here. Thanks --Davepape 17:38, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for moving my signature to a userspace. this makes it alot easier than b4.

War Governors Conference

Hi. I was wondering about the last photo I put in this article. It was printed before 1923 and I have permission from the historical society that owns it (in which I am a member). I tried to re-categorize it, but still threatens deletion. I'm a first time poster, so please tell me what I need to do in order for the photo not to be deleted. Thanks for your help.

A rather late RfA thanks!

Good evening (GMT time) ^demon; I'd like to thank you for supporting, opposing, commenting, nominating, reading, editing, promoting and/or anything else that you may have done for my successful request for adminship. As a result of the discussion, I'm pleased to inform you that I'm now a Administrator! I've already been making use of my new tools, so if there's anything I can do, give me a shout!

MediationBot1 misbehaving

Improperly filed request for mediation

I'm currently involved in a dispute on the article Channon Christian and Christopher Newsom murder. A fellow editor filed a request for mediation, but I have no idea how he did it. Unless theres something I missed, I think he may have simply created the page without actually following the process laid out on the requests page. I'm not sure he even looked at the mainpage for mediation requests. Anyway, is there anyway I could get [2] deleted so I can file a proper request? AniMate 22:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks mate

Hello ^demon

Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Shatt al-Arab (Arvand Rud)

I know the guidelines for Request for Mediations require everyone to agree with mediation, but I fear Wikipedia:Requests for mediation/Shatt al-Arab (Arvand Rud) might not be accepted simply because the remaining holdout, AlexanderPar (talk · contribs), just has not been online since the opening of the request for mediation. There is no doubt in my mind that he would accept the mediation, were he available on Wikipedia. In fact, prior to the official opening of the request there was a discussion on the talk page about opening a request. Someone had started a section on the talk page, entitled "Arbitration", and AlexanderPar objected noting that, technically, mediation was the next step in the dispute resolution process. He thus proceeded to create a section that was a near carbon-copy of the "Arbitration" section, save the new title – "Mediation". Furthermore, when I attempted to merge the two similar sections, he obstinately reverted, citing his agreement to "mediation" and not "arbitration". I really do not believe the request for mediation ought to be stalled due to just one person's inability to be online at the moment. There are plenty of other people involved in the mediation already who support Alexander's position, and thus I do not believe his side would be at a serious disadvantage. -- tariqabjotu 06:18, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

People

Hello! I'm afraid I disagree with your closure of Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/List of people by name. Apart from the sheer majority of delete comments, most keep comments are not particularly well-founded. "It has been kept before" is not grounds for a procedural keep; "it can be maintained" and "it works better than the search function" are proven wrong by precedent; "no reason for deletion" is simple falsehood; and "it helps people find things if they don't know how to spell them" simply isn't true either. We can use bots to populate categories if need be; if many people comment on such an issue I think we can do better than "not everybody agrees so let's do nothing". Yours, >Radiant< 08:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Ah. I asked Radiant (on his talk page) to comment on my proposals for actually doing something about LoPbN, but there was no response. I see that he correctly points out the poor keep reasons, but doesn't mention what I said (and no, "it can be maintained" is not an accurate portrayal of what I was saying, but then I don't really know what Radiant's opinion is on what I said because, from my perspective it looks like he has nothing to say about my contributions to that debate). Sorry to rant like this on your (^demon's) talk page, but it is intensely frustrating when I spend time coming up with ways to move forward on these issues, proposing new things that weren't brought up in the previous debates, and going so far as to set out a bullet-pointed plan for what could be done, and then see people showing lack of imagination and saying (effectively) "give up, it is too difficult to reform, just delete the lot", or "give up, it is too difficult to reform but still worth keeping". I'm saying "let's actually reform this, here is a plan". I realise an MfD debate is not the best place for this, but I would like to start a discussion somewhere on how to move this forward, but not on the LoPbN talk page, as that may get deleted one day and I don't intend to write loads and then see it deleted (another reason why I started the debate on the MfD page). I'd also be happier if everyone could work together on the proposal I've put forward, but I fear Jerzy (who has also been rather unresponsive, though at least he said he was short of time) and Radiant and others in that debate, will remain entrenched in their positions. Is there any way to persuade people to work together on something like this? Or is it too much to expect people to invest time and effort to reform something, when it is much easier to vote keep or delete? <sigh> Carcharoth 10:48, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

And maybe some discussion will now restart at Wikipedia talk:Miscellany for deletion/List of people by name, where I've replied to a comment Radiant made. So the above might become moot if productive discussion restarts at the MfD talk page. Carcharoth 10:51, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Orwell Park School

I'm really dissapointed that you deleted Orwell Park from Wikipedia. I am a former pupil and found the information provided to be true and accurate. I can not believe that it would be deleted when other schools such as the Dragon remain posted. Please put it back.

Improper image deletion

I think you mistakenly deleted Image:Dial-promo-pic-july-2003.jpg. Someone removed it from the Sun Dial article, which resulted in a bot tagging it as unused fair-use. The bot notified me, so I added the image back to Sun Dial, but you deleted the image anyway and then removed it from Sun Dial. Could you please restore the image and the link from Sun Dial? —Psychonaut 17:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
