Removal of trolling

Hehe, that was rather a confusing section I was commenting on. -- RyRy5 (talk) 09:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Very true. Well, I was discussing on IRC the other day, and there is a chance that Radio Wikipedia will be nominated for WP:MfD. Mostly because it is a somewhat copy of WP:WEEKLY, it is rather difficult to understand him speaking, and that he is hosting it alone. I think your Stewie's adopter? If so, just thought I'd let you know. -- RyRy5 (talk) 09:14, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I don't think Stewie would be happy to see an MfD on it. He seems to be doing good so far. By the way, do you think I should make the info at User:RyRy5/Sandbox4 to templatespace? -- RyRy5 (talk) 09:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :D Although I'm wondering how I would add it to WP:BARNSTARS if it's not really a barnstar. A barnstar looks something like this at the top section (yeah, I somehow have too many barnstars. If they were to hold an election to who has the most barnstras, I'd probably win. But hey, i know users who have less than 2 barnstars and their admins.). This one I created is something like the ones listed at WP:BDC. Comments?--RyRy5 (talk) 10:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That wouldn't work. It seems they all have images, and I think an admin mop wouldn't necessarily fit. I was thinking of introducing it to the Wikipedia:Kindness Campaign]. What do you think? -- RyRy5 (talk) 10:18, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You may want to comment on the new thread on my talk page. Thanks, RyRy5 (talk) 10:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Muhammad al-Durrah

Hiya, regarding protection at the Muhammad al-Durrah article, I am currently helping out as an uninvolved admin at the talkpage. If I think that things are more stabilized, would it be alright with you if I lifted protection? If you think it should stay on for a few more days, I will respect that, but it could potentially be helpful to the discussion if I could take on the authority of placing or lifting protection for a bit. Thanks, and let me know, El on ka 16:13, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks very much for the quick response! I've placed some editing restrictions on the talkpage, and will be keeping a close eye on things. If things start heating up again, what I'd like to do is focus on the editors who are violating the restrictions, and warn them (and if they ignore warnings, then block them). Hopefully with my technique we won't need page protection again, but we'll see! Thanks again, El on ka 16:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No way, please do not lift page protection yet. The discussion on the talk page is going round in circles and more single-purpose accounts are appearing to promote their personal views. There is no common ground yet and in some quarters, not even an appreciation of the most basic policy requirements. -- ChrisO (talk) 16:33, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ChrisO, it might be best to identify that you're here as a regular involved editor, not as an admin in this particular case. --El on ka 16:35, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My reply to ChrisO for reference:

I think that Elonka's plan might work, and I feel it's worth trying out. If you disagree, I wouldn't consider it wheel-warring if you re-protect it, but in my opinion most editors are reasonable, and it removes the restriction for uninvolved editors. I won't personally re-protect it, as I'd like to see if this works, but I won't object to re-protection. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:37, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(2)I didn't realise you were involved so don't reprotect it. :) If you strongly disagree I would take it to RFPP, but I'd ask you again to try out Elonka's plan. Thanks, PeterSymonds (talk) 16:40, 10 June 2008 (UTC) --PeterSymonds (talk) 16:42, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Laughing Man image

PeterSymonds,

First - yep, it's okay for you to leave messages on my talk page :)

Second - I don't want you to think I'm being difficult, however, I re-submitted the laughing man image as a speedy. It's the same image as the one you deleted the last time, linked to the same page - the image is on that page at eye level. The logo (image of the smiling face ) is a match for the logo on the website I mentioned. The logo he's using is the "Laughing Man" logo from Ghost in the shell, hence the link to manufacturers of that Anime. I'm not sure what you didnt see - but both logos were the same, linked to the same page, and yes, both are copyright violations. Let me know what's needed, because this is third time that image has been brought back. Thanks. F.U.R hurts Wikipedia 16:42, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A class review.

I've heard about a type of review that has the wikiproject a certain article is part of be review by the wikiproject community. I believe it's called an A class review. I can't see to find out how to get one for the McGill University one, though I've checked this. Can you direct me to getting that assessment to A class? Always thankful, --Sunsetsunrise (talk) 19:47, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for protection help

Thanks much for your assistance with semi-protecting the National Association of Broadcasters article! I may have to relist it again after it expires, but I'll jump off that bridge when I come to it. --Dachannien^Talk_Contrib 20:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Same, but for the Power Macintosh 5500 article. [[::User:Headbomb|Headbomb]] ([[::User talk:Headbomb|ταλκ]] · [[::Special:Contributions/Headbomb|κοντριβς]]) 21:44, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

javascript

Do you get any errors (maybe install firebug for more useful error reporting)

does it still not work in other browsers?

Sorry for not getting back to you before now --Random832 (contribs) 20:59, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll see if I can figure out how these scripts are interacting. --Random832 (contribs) 14:29, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks!

WP:Huggle

Thank you for your help. Can I ask you what do I need to do for being able to use WP:Huggle now? --Checco (talk) 10:15, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you so much. I downloaded it because I was told that it is the best tool for dealing with counter-vandalism. Is it true? --Checco (talk) 10:27, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's just great! I hope not to do bad mistakes with it... --Checco (talk) 10:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello

I'm just wondering why did you protected the Jerusalem page? It makes me and the Crusader Task Force to improve this article. Sincerely with no hard feelings Hellboy2hell (talk) 11:02, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removal by IP protected ...

Hi Peter, Thanks for protecting the article Getting_Things_Done. Unfortunately you protected it right after the IP undid JeremyMcCracken's revision, so the IP's vandal act is now permanent. Could you please see the discussions on User_talk:121.72.145.82 and Wikipedia:Editor_assistance/Requests/Archive_23#Vandalism_or_edit_war.3F and then decide for yourself if you'd like to revert to the version before the IP's removal of the citation. Thank you! Lausianne (talk) 12:36, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

IFD filed

PeterSymonds,

I've filed an IFD on the laughing man image discussion This isn't personal at all. I'm familiar with the anime this image comes from and know this to be a copyright issue, additionally, he's placed this image in his webpage before as I stated earlier. I am giving you blanket authorization to alter any comment I made regarding your involvement in the IFD discussion if you believe it's inaccurate or in any way mis-leading . Thanks F.U.R hurts Wikipedia 13:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jerusalem

Discussion dormant for two days? Obviously, you're not aware of where the real action is at. Hardly dormant. Not saying you should re-protect the article though... I'd be interested to see what happens. -- tariqabjotu 14:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RFR

If waiting for 1 hour and 20 minutes has become something one should consider "long", the world has become even worse than i thought. Nevertheless, thanks a lot for the upgrade! :-) ~ | twsx | ^talk_cont | ~ 14:41, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion on Gandhi page move

Hi, the discussion you archived has been openened again: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mohandas_Karamchand_Gandhi I think this has gone on long enough without getting anywhere, do you have any comments or anything you can do so that more time can be spent on improving the article instead of arguing about the name?

Celtics articles

Could you please protect the pages Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen, as well, since they are subject to heavy vandalism? ● 8 ~Hype ^@ 19:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please help?

Dear Peter! Thanks for your helps in the past few days.
