Chair boy said : "Your snarky comment aside, the reason the HOTSOUP article was deleted was that it was being used to create notability for the site (it made no assertion of how HOTSOUP met WP:WEB), which is just not kosher. I protected it because the people making the article tried gaming DRV by "voting" a number of times and deleting other people's comments. If you're sure you'd like to align yourself with them, you're more than welcome to, but it will hurt your credibility." - CHAIRBOY (â) 14:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I was not trying to be "snarky" (code word for unwanted criticism), I was expressing my newfound disgust with the entire Wikipedia project and I will admit that Wikipedia is not the place to do so. For that I apologize. As for my credibility, I would not want it aligned with anyone involved in this "wiki" project. I once thought that collaborative enterprises were a good idea but after being accused of vandalism by vandals, observing the most petty of personal politics, seeing information blocked for ideological reasons (there is still not even an article saying what HOTSOUP is in even 3 sentences - can a thee sentence article be corruptible? BTW how many articles have you deleted as opposed to edited? judging by the comments it is a lot.) and reading the most corrupted of articles I can honestly say that I have never seen an idea seem to have so much promise yet yield so much garbage.

If we know that the User:Stephencolbert account is not really an account for Stephen Colbert then it should be possible to remove the statement "Block pending identity confirmation" from User talk:Stephencolbert. The basis for a checkuser evaluation in this case has never really been explained ("It must be used only to prevent damage to one or several of Wikimedia projects"). If there was a request made to check the IP for the the User:Stephencolbert account then who made the request and on what basis? If the check was done, who did it and what was done with the checkuser information? Some people have claimed that User:Stephencolbert is a "vandalism only" account and so a checkuser evaluation should have been performed. I do not understand how we are supposed to uphold Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers and Wikipedia:Assume good faith and still decide that the User:Stephencolbert account is a "vandalism only" account. I do not understand why Wikipedia needs to prevent discussions and remove discussion from an editor's talk page when members of the community want to discuss the editing that was done by that user. Members of the community should be able to ask honest questions about administrator and checkuser actions. "If you feel I've acted improperly...." <-- I think we are dealing with a unique situation that requires community discussion. My interest is in understanding what happened and making sure that Wikipedia's response to what happened is reasonable. When unanswered questions about what happened are simply deleted it only produces the appearance of a cover up. Why not help the community answer the questions that have been raised rather then erase the questions? -- JWSchmidt 02:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
"isn't worth fighting over" <-- I have no interest in a fight. I agree that it was wise to do a checkuser on the Stephencolbert account, block the Stephencolbert account and since so much time has now passed it makes sense to strip the Stephencolbert talk page down to a simple request for identity confirmation.
"if you want to unprotect it and restore the content to its former glory, go ahead" <-- I think your action was a reasonable action; I'm not sure that you are the one who should have done it.
"We probably did most of the discussion via IRC, and if that smacks of cabalism, <shrug>, that's not the intention, but it was the best tool at the time" <-- I do not have a problem with making use of IRC in this way, but I know it bothers other Wikipedia participants. In my opinion, if Wikipedia participants are bothered by these sorts of things then it helps to let them discuss the situation. Since most people who were concerned seem to have lost interest, I'm basically satisfied with the window for discussion that was allowed.
"If you feel you've been wronged or that I've gone rouge" <-- I have no personal stake in this matter beyond a hope that Wikipedia as an institution can learn from what happened.
"I'd hate to create the appearance of any impropriety" <-- My questions about deleting discussions from the talk page and preventing discussions by protecting the page from editing arise from by belief that it does not hurt to let people talk. The more fundamental problem is that for myself and others it is not clear that existing checkuser policy provides an avenue for checking the IP for a user account such as the Stephencolbert account. I find it a bit strange that nobody within Wikipedia seems willing to discuss the matter....the consensus seems to be that it is wise to let this sleeping dog lie. I guess the key dynamic of the situation is that the checkuser policy is something that comes down to the community from the Wikimedia Foundation. The Foundation now has an "ombudsman commission" that can play a role in suggesting needed adjustments to checkuser policy. I'll just pass the matter on to the ombudsman commission. --

I have already discussed this with a moderator about the SETI, and as long as it is put as a conspiracy (not claimed as a fact, similar to a JFK conspiracy) it is acceptable. But how can I stop people from removing it (especially if they are not registered) without telling me why they want it removed? If a section this large is to be removed, I need to first talk to them as to why (debate maybe?). "We have confirmation - and I'm not going to give the name yet because we are trying to coax this guy out of the closet - but one of the senior most people in the SETI project" ... that is why the name cannot be given out (safety for the person's name). I don't understand why you will block this. For a guy to come out and make a statement like that, especially while at the same time bringing up Paul Allen's name. I don't think Paul Allen would approve of him doing so, yet I have heard of no denial at all from Paul Allen (he also brought up Carl Sagan name). For him to go public, in front of many people, and have his videos uploaded knowing well that he used Paul Allen's name is risky because of the wealth and influence Paul has (to use Paul's name within a lie would not do him any good), and for him to get away with it as a "lie" cannot work in this situation because Paul Allen has not stopped him. nima baghaei 16:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for reminding me that the reference desk is not a soapbox when I commented on how using drugs was, at least in my eyes, a "bad idea". Yes, I considered not making that comment, but should wikipedia really be giving out advice that could ruin its reputation, or perhaps even kill the person asking the question? I don't mean to disobey any rules about commenting on questions, but I do recall seeing a rule about wikipedia that said something like 'If a rule prevents an improvement from being made, break it.' or something like that. Similarly, I'm sure that many people who help run the reference desk would not like a question such as this one on their conscience. I didn't mean to be posting my opinion, but answers to questions like "are there any easily made narcotics" could really screw up someone's life and/or Wikipedia's reputation. That is why I said that giving an answer to a question such as this one is generally a bad idea. The issue here really is, "should Wikipedia really be giving out that sort of advice?". Thank you for reminding me, though. Ilikefood 01:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, you have a point on the way that I answered it. I shouldn't have said it the way that I had.

"It appears as if you're not getting the response you anticipated, but I encourage you to pause for a moment, see that consensus already exists, and accept it"
I'm more than a little bit dissapointed at the tone you've taken on several occasions through out this Cydebot deletions micro-drama. I'm assured that everyone involved in bot-land gives tacit approval, no objections raised, etc etc etc. What I'm not clear on is why you (and Cyde) have taken such a hostile and confrontational tone. From where I sit, it's quite straightforward:
Statements 1 and 2 don't match up, not by a long shot. When I asked about it, I got the polite three fingers and "Go write an article or something." Sweet. Admins and bit-runners should respond fully and civily when questions are asked, and in this case he was both and neither, in that order.
If someone says again that Cyde should be thanked for all this, I'll spew. It wouldn't have killed him, or any of you, do consider that you're a tiny percentage of wikipedia adminstrators and that everyone might not have agreed with the whole "tacit approval for unsupervised admin bots" thing. Now it may turn out that they do, although I have to say that the sample on Pump right now is a slightly biased one. But whatever the outcome, I don't see why I have to continue to be pilloried by you for intruding into the bot fiefdom and simply asking the question.

Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week.

Not meaning to "stalk" but rather to learn by example from your contribs, I saw your recent exchange on an article talk page where there'd been repeated requests to censor text, pictures, or the entire article. Thinking, perhaps naively, that one clear statement up front might help reduce the repetition, I came up with the following box, and added it at the top of that talk page. If you'd find it helpful, please use or adapt wherever you deem suitable. -- Ben 17:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I did mention it at the project talk page. So far no-one's complained, though the week is young.
I have now turned the above box into Template:Notcensored.
Also, someone else had created a longer block of text, with a stop-sign, that specifically fits (and is on) the talk pages of articles with images of nudity or sexual anatomy. I've adapted this into Template:Notcensored2, with two minor changes from the original text: 1) removed a blank line from top, 2) used BASEPAGENAME to provide the article name automagically, so that doesn't have to be typed in every time.
It's probably better to "subst" these -- {{subst:notcensored}} or {{subst:notcensored2}} -- rather than make the poor computers transclude them each load. That also reduces the risk of being affected by template vandalism.
But would you please protect these two templates anyway? -- Ben 11:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Over one million google hits seems to be a fair indicator of notability, by my standards (summary: if it surpasses Bajoran wormhole which gets 44 thousand, it is notable). I know it's a fairly arbitrary standard, but think about it -- people are more than twice as interested in aXXo than in one of our oldest and most stable articles. I'm not stumping for reinstatement of this article, but I went to it to edit it, and found it nonexistent and salted, with you at the helm, so to speak, and just thought you might find it suitable to change your opinion on notability of aXXo... or at least keep abreast of the increase in notability of this entity.

Hi, glad to see you dispatched those two Mike Gravel articles. But I'm puzzled. I also tagged a third article -- Tom Vilsack presidential campaignâ -- that was created by the same user, Nick37, and for some reason it hasn't been deleted. I figured they'd all go together. Just an oversight?

Is he intending to trace me all the way back to 2001 and delete articles like Kangaroo just because I started them? Where would it end, will he track back my sister's edits and delete all those as well? I would appreciate your help if you are willing to give some time by reviewing my edits he has been removing from the History of colonialism article. I do not understand, my edit is based on the US Dept. of State own records about US actions in 1962.

There was only one other Wikipedia editor who knew anyting about the subject and was trying to help. But Wikipedia 3-revert rule means 3 people automatically can control any article with two or less active editors. No-one would help because they didn't know anything about the subject -- yet they would allow three apparent racist impose their fixated beliefs. I do not want to waste my life dealing with Gsd2000, I refused to get into a edit-war with him and now he's taking his anger out on Wikipedia articles.

I wrote a page that was marked for speedy deletion only seconds after it was created. There were already some twenty links to the page, that's why I wrote it. It took a minute to understand what had happened, and to act accordingly. So I inserted ((hangon)) in the article, and wrote an explanation on the talk page.
When I had submitted the talk page, the article was already deleted by Chairboy. Why? Did you have time to read the article? Or did you have a list of "forbidden topics", so that were sure that a bot could make a proper decision. âThe preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.237.142.11 ( talk) 15:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
How did you manage to mark the article for speedy deletion within a minute after I wrote it? Apparently, there was an article with the same subject deleted in January; at that time, the given reason for deletion was "blatant advertising". That's not the case with my article. So, what was the reason? Why did the deletion have to be speedy? Was the decision based on the subject (Propellerhead Software), or on the article contents?

I stumbled across your script while reading the thread on WP:AN about automated deletion. Interesting code. I cobbled together something similar last month. One difference I notice is that you put the HTML tags in yourself while I build up the HTML from an array of CSD reasons. I thought that it would be easier to edit the array than edit the HTML. Anyways, if you're curious, you can take a look at my monobook.js for the code. It's at the bottom.

Chairboy - I have no idea how to do Wikipedia. I am not qualified to be the editor of this page. I was simply trying to establish that the band does meet the notability requirements. Can you communicate with who ever did the page in the first place and remove me as the editor as I have no idea how to do this. I was just trying to provide information to have the page restored. I do not know the lingo or the process. I am just a fan and see that their credentials more than qualify. Thanks Avidbandfan 21:22, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

You deleted The Wedding (band)in error. Please restore. According to Wikipedia the following are some of the "criteria that make it very likely that sufficient reliable information is available about a given group or individual musician:"
1. Has had a charted hit on any national music chart. The Wedding had two number one hits on the national radio christian rock charts (Radio and Records). Right now they currently have 2 hits in the top 30 if you will look at Radio and Records charts this week (March 2, 2007) at http://www.radioandrecords.com/Formats/Charts/Christ_Rock_Chart.asp The songs are "Morning Air" from their first album, and "Say Your Prayers" from the upcoming album which has only been released to radio stations. This chart is the authority used in the music industry to monitor national radio airplay.
3. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,3 reported in reliable sources. The Wedding has been on national tours - You can verify one of the national tours with well known bands at the following website www.seespotrock.com This tour alone included 14 states and Canada.
4. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). The Wedding is issuing it's second album on April 17, 2007. The first album had 2 number one radio hits (Radio and Records) as stated above. The label executives also signed and produced notable performers Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Relient K.
10. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. The Wedding's "Say Your Prayers" and "Morning Air" are in rotation nationally right now. In fact, "Say Your Prayers" placed first with the most adds by radio stations according to Radio and Records for the past 2 weeks. Again, here is the URL to the chart for you to verify http://www.radioandrecords.com/Formats/Charts/Christ_Rock_Chart.asp You can also verify on the Effect Radio Network of radio stations - they have over 51 stations from east and west coasts + Hawaii. That is only one of the networks airing and that add alone has over 50 stations. You can see others that have on the Radio and Records site. Here is an actual current playlist that will show The Wedding's songs being played 9 times in 24 hours. The URL is http://www.christianrock.net/playlist.asp?userid=0&more=yes&bwDate=2/18/2007
The song Say Your Prayers is also on Radio U's Ten Most Wanted. The URL is http://tvulive.com/radiou/tmw
11. Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio or TV network. The band has already had one appearance and just recorded another for "The Logan Show" which is aired on the nationally. According to the Logan show's website it is broadcast to over 225 million homes nationally and internationally on a growing list of networks including JC-TV, FamilyNet, The Inspiration Network (INSP), iLifetv, TCT Network, Victory Television Network (VTN), God TV, Alpha Omega Broadcasting, Good Life Broadcasting and DirectTV through World Harvest Television. The audio version can be heard on Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 159., this is where it airs. The April 28, 2006 appearance can be verified at the show's website at the following URL http://loganshow.com/index.cfm?PAGE_ID=70&NEW_SUBSEC_PAGES=1,0
The show just recorded will be aired in April just before the release of the band's new album.

I saw that you asked why the AXXo talk page was deleted. It is standard practice to delete talk pages to articles that don't exist. The article has been deleted and salted. - CHAIRBOY ( â) 23:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
There is at least some importance to this topic though, since people do make searches and post inquiries into the AXXo talk page.

It was stated before on the article's talk page, before that was deleted too, that if a good article was written on this person, that it would be used as the article. It was also stated on that talk page that the reason the page was deleted and locked was that the previous article there was poorly written. Now although you dont feel this person is notable and I can agree with your points, it should also be taken into consideration that there are forums and websites dedicated to this person. If a well written article was written on this person, would it then allow the article to be created? -- Chrisdab 20:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I would like to know why did you delete the Axxo wikipedia page. I personally think you blatantly violated wikipedia policies and without proper explanation I'll have to report this.âThe preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.127.122.248 (talk ⢠contribs).
Hmm, tough crowd. This is my first posting, so I apologize for all errors in advance. I originally came here looking for information on Axxo also, but after reading this discussion I would like to post a few points.
a) Because other articles exist that also deserve deletion is irrelative (i.e. because all mistakes are not corrected doesn't imply that no mistake should be corrected).
b) Axxo is notable, well sorta... It/he/she/them certainly doesn't meet the criteria Chairboy cited, however thousands if not millions are familiar. The MPAA certainly is, not to mention the UrbanDictionary defines axxo as a generic term for a high quality rip. Also, imho, notoriety and controversy should be considered. I believe Chairboy's CNN comment was to contrast Axxo's notability and inject a little humor, not to be flippant.
c) If the article were revived what could it possibly have in it? Little information is known, hardly enough for a decent article.
d) It appears if Chairboy did error, and not I'm sure he did, it was an honest mistake -not a malicious one.
My humble suggestion is prepare an article, show them the error of their ways. What else is the point of this discussion? For what it is worth 74.34.111.38 06:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

In the space of one hour earlier today, an anon. editor posted lengthy POV Copyvio edits on nine separate articles (whew!). I have already confirmed and deleted two of these copyvio edits, and I am quite certain that all of the others were copied from the same source -- a very POV right-wing website called Discoverthenetwork.org.

Comment on an article or article section on the article's talk page. Not only is that the correct venue but it allows others interested in the topic to view the history of discourse.

Howdy! On the talk page for Danny's RfA, you wrote 'Sigh, what purpose do these stats serve?'. I'm not certain what you mean, they serve the purpose that anything does on this project.

Hi
You've just deleted the "Paul Courbis" page I've created. I try to understand the process. You say (in comments) that "14:35, 11 April 2007 Chairboy (Talk | contribs) deleted "Paul Courbis" (WP:CSD Articles, subsection 7 - No assertion of notability is made by this person, music group, or organization) "
I don't understand this as I explained (both in header & discussion) that Paul is one of the main contributors of HP calculators development as he wrote unoficial reference books about the Saturn processor. Thus, the "no assertion of notability made" seems to me a wrong assertion. I'd understood if the reason was "notability is insufficient" or "not enough explained" by the author of this page.
Can we discuss a little bit more on this deletion ?
I'll be looking here for your answer
Thx
Alain
PS: english is not my native language, and there is peharps a misunderstanding from me on what an "assertion of notability" is ? I understood it as a objective justification but perhaps is it some paper to sign ?

I was not trying to make a point, and I won't have myself be pushed into that corner. I wanted to cheer Tobias Conradi up, in fact I thought about awarding him the original barnstar instead but thought it was kinda lame. However, to prevent this kind of misunderstanding,
I had asked whether or not I could be blocked for adding that link to the debate at
Wikipedia talk:Attack sites.
This is how
Fred Bauder replied. My asking that question was preceeded by reading
this,
linked to by
Kirill Lokshin in the
Mongo request for carification. As long as
Tobias Conradi has no problem with it, it should be of no concern to you. Should he not welcome this or any further messages from me, he can tell me so, and I will never message him again. â

First, thanks for deleting the link, it shows that you're willing to take a step back from the precipice, and I appreciate it. Second, as you know, the purpose of an ArbCom ruling like this is to implement a decision to protect the project. It is their ruling that linking to an attack site is verbotten. When you instead provided a link to a Google search that had the attack site in question as the only result, it's an example of trying to weasel around their ruling. Now, there's nothing wrong with weaseling, it's what seperates us from the animals. Well, except for the weasel... but in this context, it comes back to the first year law student issue. There's a term 'wikilawyering' that has come into vogue that describes this action, specifically looking for a tiny loophole to remain technically within the letter of, but in direct contravention of the spirit of a policy or arbcom decision. I think you're very aware of this, but I'm hoping you'll reconsider the path you're on and try doing things that help the project instead. If you have any further questions, let me know and I'll try and help. - CHAIRBOY ( â) 14:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Ben, thank you for your actions related to the Klemmer & Associates page.
I see from your history and personal page that you champion neutrality and removal of POV from wiki.
As a relatively new contributor to wiki, I have been dismayed by the one-sidedness of the LGAT series of articles. The creators and major contributors appear to be pushing their POV. However, they appear to be using (twisting? distorting?) wiki rules in order to document their pov and thus legitimize their use of wiki to attack companies and organizations.
My understanding of LGAT is that it is not scientifically defined. Each author defines it for themselves, either by direct-definition or by definition-by-example. As there is no clear and concise definition, there is no standard which can be applied against an organization in order to include them in the LGAT category. The pro-ponents of the LGAT label, insist on branding companies as LGAT, but refuse to allow LGAT to be properly defined or documented. They refuse to allow its multiple and vague deffinitions to be documented. They refuse to allow the fact that it is a term primarily used by the anti-cult community to be documented in the article. They very adeptly use wiki-rules to delete, revert and re-write anything which gets added in an effort to clean up or unbias the entire series of articles.
I feel completely out-gunned here and everything I have tried to add either gets reverted or the paragraph gets mysteriously re-written in a flurry of other edits and any injection of neutrality is suddenly gone.
Ok, that (brief?) history being given.. My question/request is this.. can anything be done to stop/correct or resolve this? (you may respond here, I will watch) Lsi john 17:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I probably shouldn't have said it since I'm not sure but I believe this is light current. At least one other editors has reverted someone with a similar IP [10] & [11]. See Wikipedia talk:Reference desk#Shampoo where there is discussion Nil Einne 22:26, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
There is a distinct lack of consensus on ANI that my block should have been reverted, if anything the consensus is that the block was within my discretion. You agreed that the block was not invalid, and RFCN does not review username blocks. There is nothing left to do but to reinstate the block. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 19:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I think one of the major issues in our argument was that I was not clear enough in my initial response. While I thought I was clear that the block should stand and that greater discussion should take place before any reversal, it seems I failed to communicate that correctly. I will try to be more clear next time, and I will also search harder to notice such miscommunication in the future. I certainly have respect for your actions in the past, and in light of this misunderstanding this issue starts to make sense too.
Sorry if I was a bit heavy handed, at the time I was under the impression that you knew I wanted more discussion before you reverted me. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 15:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

For the life of me I can't figure out why you suddenly deleted this image without even looking at the accompanying discussion on its discussion page, the result of which was to keep the image. That discussion is now gone and I don't know if it's recoverable. The person who deleted the image the last time also did so completely blindly, saying that it's an orphan which was complete nonsense since turbofolk article always linked to it.

Hi Chairboy, regarding this, I wonder if you might take another look? I didn't provide a link in any of the templates because I couldn't get it to work, it just stayed as "unquestionably a copyvio of {{{URL}}}". The uploader has provided the URL from which the image was taken and there is no assertion of ownership or permission. The link is still on the image page and was directly underneath the template, so I didn't feel it necessary to spend time playing about trying to get the template to work. Could you go back and see what I mean? -- YFB ¿ 14:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Ben, thanks for your comment; let me clarify where I'm at a little:
That is well and good, but for any policy that is enforcable against users, there must be a way that a reasonable user of ordinary intelligence can discover what the rules are. The problem here wasn't that I didn't understand what the specific template said, it was that I was mislead by WP's written policy and previous replies by admins in blocking requests as to what the purpose of using the WP:WARN templates is.
Now, you must surely see that there's only two ways that a user can discover that: if it's written somewhere in WP policy, or if they get it wrong ("wrong" being defined by common practise) and an admin tells them. What you wrote on my talk page is all perfectly reasonable. But it isn't in any written canonical WP policy document that I'm aware of. That left only one way I could find that out: to get it wrong and be told. If one of the admins at ANI had responded the way you responded on my talk page, that would have been fair and reasonable. But as you can see at ANI, they didn't; they formed a lynch mob. That's why I "dug my heels in and fought harder" - because the admins there were being totally unreasonable. At no point did any of them grasp that they were trying to hang me from an understanding of WP policy which is not only not embodied in any written policy, but in fact cuts against the very strong insinuations of several written policies, not the least of which being WP:WARN itself.

"I'm very confused about how things work on Wikipedia. It appears that it's okay to call other people names that are in no way "nice", but if someone mentions that this sort of behavior could be considered (I won't say the word, but it starts with the letter "L" and it rhymes with "Bible"), that is an "indef blockable" offense? Are you taking sides in the matter, and challenging only the after-the-fact "legal threats"? Or, have you been equal in counseling restraint among those who use inflammatory labels to malign other users?"
I for one don't agree that this constitutes a legal threat. Even policy discourages defamatory remarks. That isn't thereby threatening to file a lawsuit. -- Ben TALK/ HIST 02:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
"The words "stalker", "terrorist", and "criminal" have been used above to describe Daniel Brandt. If these are true statements, why haven't law enforcement authorities been notified to prosecute Brandt on charges? If it's because these statements are untrue, then that's libel, folks. You're not doing Wikipedia any favors by libeling someone, or conversely, you're not doing the world any favors by typing on Wikipedia while you should be contacting the FBI. Make up your minds." (diff)
That also is not a legal threat. It's a true statement of the law (as far as I understand the law), and incidentally of Wikipedia's policies (e.g. WP:BLP), and might possibly suggest that Brandt could sue, but it says nothing about the writer's own intentions; it never suggests "I'll sue!"
Chairboy, if I offered links to pirated "warez" or other blatant copyvios, and you advised me that these were violations of copyright law (and thus of Wikipedia policy), could I have you blocked for making a legal threat? -- Ben TALK/ HIST 04:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

3O: Based only on the text in this thread, I see no legal threats. As far as I know, a person can't sue for libel on someone else's behalf. There may be a straw that breaks a camel's back, but it should be a real straw and this doesn't appear to be one. This seems to me to be a description of facts, as seen by the editor. I don't even see an implied threat here. Lsi john 13:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
(Copied back from User talk:Ben#WikiGnosis:)
Howdy! While I respect your opinion, I must disagree. The user has repeatedly made legal threats against users. The cutesy way he/she is doing it doesn't excuse the fact. Also, the user just accused the admin who reviewed and denied the unblock request of disrupting wikipedia to make a point in this edit. As I mentioned in the AN/I thread, this user does not appear to be operating in good faith. Review the content of his/her edits, both for the circumspect legal threats and the content, and I'm certain it'll become immediately clear. You and I have agreed in the past about some admins being block-happy, specifically over at WP:RFCN, but I don't believe this is one of those situations. - CHAIRBOY ( â) 14:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

You deleted my page "Casual Science" before I was even finished. You flagged it as CSD, which states "Note that some Wikipedians create articles in multiple saves, so try to avoid deleting a page too soon after its initial creation."
Your reason was that it lacked notability. My unfinished page was mine, the website it represents is mine, and the website exists. You made reference to Articles: Section 7, which makes no sense. My site deals only with science and art, as mentioned, and just because you have never heard of it doesn't mean it's not important.

Hello,
Recently I noticed that an article Slave hack was deleted because there were no third party sources.
I've recently, however, found this: [12] from PC gamers UK. Do you have any suggestions? Would that be good enough to satisfy notability? Perhaps something to start a deletion review? Please respond on my talk page. Aquatics Guard Alert 03:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Please don't treat Irpen like that. [13] He's a very committed Wikipedian, whatever disagreements you may have with him, and he took the trouble to write fully and explanatorily to you. You're an admin, you're held to a higher standard than grinning and waving like an idiot in response. If you weren't just doing that â if there was some deep dimension to your post that made it meaningful and valuable â then he didn't get it, and I don't get it. Perhaps in that case you could interpret and explain. I hope you speak to users in order to communicate with them, not in order to amuse yourself and your friends at their expense. Bishonen | talk 00:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
I made no statement about you doing anything with respect to this particular accident. In my ANI entry I stated some obvious facts:
In response you posted a strange entry at my talk accusing me of being generally admin-hungry, in that eating (or at least biting) admins is all I do. Further you vaguely accused me in having no interest towards "investing the effort." I did not get that part at all, especially when said by someone who hasn't made a single substantive article edit in last month ( 56 mainspace edits in the month of April, none of which significant. I did not look further back, could be if I looked for two months I would have found an FA or a GA plus a DYK entry and destubbing of the underedited article. In that case, I would happily retract and top it off with a great article writer barnstar.)
I posted a detailed and good-faithed response where I elaborated in a greater detail. Then you posted this (possibly) offensive, purposefully ungrammatical and somewhat contrary to the original book statement (about Oz and a bucket) which does not make sense no matter how one looks at it.
Your invoking the WoO implies that I accused you in being behind the scenes in orchestrating this incident (I never said it was you in this case). However, it was the witch, not the Wizard, who was killed by the bucket of water which I (or you?) supposedly "has" (hard to understand exactly who you refer to in your edit summary.) So, it just didn't make sense to me.
Neither I could make anything out of your deliberately ungrammatical summary. If you were mocking my imperfect English, do it as you please. (Btw, English is my third language by the order of fluency. Not very impressive, I admit. Perhaps, you know more foreign languages and know some of them better than I know English. Good for you.)
If that was not mocking my English either, the only other way I could imagine is that it was your attempting to assume blackface dialect, which is itself very offensive in a public forum, especially when said to a person that you don't know.
If that was neither of those but something else all along, I would have no clue but I did not know what to do with what seemed nonsense to me (offensive or not, I was not sure).
Bishonen, who watchlists my talk, spotted the entry and took an effort to reprimand you because whatever it was that you were saying it was nonsencial at best, intended as an offense (likely) or harassment at worst. I thank her for that, but such matters are not worth her valuable time. I have a very thick skin and I've seen much worse than your acid-tongued remarks.
Happy edits whether you plan to make some in the mainspace or not. -- Irpen 21:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't think you know the whole story between me and AldeBaer/Kncyu. (he changed his name recently) It is long and it involves hateful e-mails from him to me, and his new found support of prejudiced propaganda on the Manfred Von Richtofen page to furhter his feud with me. I don't know why you would take his side, or why he would reach out to your if he did? I at least say my responses, which at this late point are heated, openly. I also provide sound logic. I do not do all of the subterfuge and feuding that he does. II have asked him to drop this so many times. I would not even be writing about this if he did not start pasting old random discussions and warnings on my talk page obsessively, and maliciously reverting the MvR page to include "propaganda" (Hebrew Impact on Western Civilization, vii) while I was gone, I was assuming he would be stopped by someone else, or grow up and give it up. He even said he didn't care about the article at all earlier, it is just his feud with me. whatever. Wiki is really not a respectable source for anything anyway. In part due to characters like AldeBaer//Kncyu and his incredibly limited number of supporters. 71.192.101.77JohnHistory
BTW, having read your offensive message on my board, if you haven't already seen me show how he is a jerk on the discussion page at Manfred Von Richtofen (and archived) and all my exhaustively detailed points along with others ( i bought the sources) then you haven't been paying any attention to this "debate" at all. I have tried to be civil, and I still am keeping a lid on it. However, he doesn't engage in logical debate, he attacks me and trys to get me blocked, and reverts to propaganda just to be uncivil himself. I could care less about all this "blocked" whatever mumbo jumbo, all of your weird phrases about socks. etc. I am a purist here. I just want some basic integrity for the articles I see. You guys can run around like chickens with your heads cut off all day for all I care. It is really pathetic. Why are you here if not to work on the articles?

Hello, I went to the talk page of the lesbian article and twice I have had my comments about the article removed by Gwen Gale. I notice that the article is somewhat bias, it seems very pro-lesbian, which is not worthy of an encyclopedia. I found no scientific nor psychological studies to back up the article. It seems one is not allowed to question or edit Gwen Gale's article. -- Margrave1206 21:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for checking! I apologize for blanking the page and understand this is not how speedy deletion usually works. For this cleanup project, however, it makes things much easier because of the many redirects involved. Content is moved from his pages to other more appropriate pages, unless it is copy-pasted or irrelevant in which case it is just deleted. Several hundred disambiguation pages have been deleted in the last week or two alone. Some of the content added by the banned user (SU) might appear to be relevant but is actually very often not. To someone unfamiliar with the project I can totally understand the thinking that his contributions should be kept - that is one reason why his thousands of destructive edits have lasted for so long. His content is being deleted for a reason, though, so I would urge you not to restore anything since it will just be deleted again anyway. Thanks again!

My understanding of the FDL leads me to believe that anyone may make a derivative work (in this case, removing the section of the image showing the S-5 variant). Before suggesting anyone make that effort, though, I thought it would make sense to check with you to see if the FDL certainly applies to this image, and also if there might be some already-updated version of the image that would similarly be available under FDL.

Hello. His statement was ambiguous enough to require an emergency procedure (that was asked by people from your wiki). I knew there was a possibility of misspelling, but there was also a possibility of disclosure. I desysopped him to let the time for the ArbCom to look into this case or for him to explain himself. If he was really about to disclose deleted bio content, risks were high and action was necessary. If it was only a misunderstanding, losing his admin tools during a few hours was no big deal, and any bureaucrat would give him his tools back without any problem.

I'm not doing absolutely anything wrong, I've got no reason at all to be warned. Your bot decided to pick on me and other members for some strange reason. Funk Junkie 19:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Funk Junkie-- you may as well do as he says. You see, if Wikipedia were magically turned into a Principality or a State or some other Polity, these guys would be its shock troops-- and unless you have some pretty serious firepower of your own, your own best Policy (get it? Polity, Policy, Police) is to cooperate in plain view while subverting in secret. You see, until the King is cured of the phobia that came upon him in early 2006, and until the fawners and flunkeys who enabled and now escalate his phobia are brought down, those of us who cannot abide a wretchedly illustrated Wikipedia must lay low and trust in the efforts that are underway to cure the King. We have several excellent people who are very close to him (two of them in RL (Real Life)), and they are searching his history for the source of the trauma which is almost certainly the source of the phobia-- some long ago event involving a civil action that wounded him to the core. The good news: the King is a deeply reasonable man and loves the project almost like a child. We'll bring him around. Until then, follow the paranoiac WP:COPYRIGHT without indulging the paranoia yourself. And remember: the Deletionists are all about denying, removing, annulling and, well, deleting. We're all about the opposite. We're fundamentally friendly and optimistic. We can't lose. JDG 00:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I hereby award you one of my coveted Bricks 'O Common sense for this edit. Raul654 15:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
For that painful but useful "goodbye" article from my old page User talk:Wahkeenah. A few friendly editors encouraged me to come back, and I chose a new user ID in order to start over. It's better to be watching a couple hundred pages than a couple thousand. Today I also posted that article on the talk page of a similarly-exasperated editor who, like me, got fed up after too many reverts and a resulting block. That article is painful to read, because it hits too close to home. But it's worthwhile, especially the lesson about too much editing in the middle of the night (especially the wrong end of it, i.e. staying up too late, as opposed to getting up early as I did today). Thank you for your kind consideration. :) Baseball Bugs 10:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I spent an indeterminate time, perhaps ten minutes, trying to post to the noticeboard asking for the discussion to be closed. Then someone says he's gone and blocked Jeff. I think the thing here is that people do sometimes get very upset and throw the rattle out of the pram. At such times it isn't a good idea to hassle them. I mean if you look at the comment to which Jeff was replying you'd have to realise he wasn't his usual self.
Anyway I asked coredesat, who blocked him, to unblock. And he did.
Of course people shouldn't go around making foul personal attacks, but well it would have helped if you could have kept the discussion to my talk page so I would have noticed it before it got out of hand.

Plenty of citations, a CD, more CDs on the way, international tours in Europe, a Youtube video, official web site, tons of fans, fan blogs, interesting sidenote on the name (Simpsons reference), arguments showing how it doesn't meet WP criteria for deletion... yet you deleted it, the day it was created. Wikipedia policy on notability says that notable is defined as "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice"; it is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance". Notability criteria do not equate to personal or biased considerations, such as: "never heard of this," or "page does not meet the Wikipedia notability requirements" without explaining why. [16] Why didn't you discuss it on the talk page, per WP policy -- at least allow 24 hours? ( [17]) Gekritzl 11:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

I have replied on my talk page.
I'm sorry for any part I played in your misunderstanding of my previous wording. I do not support making a point and I do not support intentionally starting a squall, nor did I ever make any statement which supported or encouraged such actions.
There is a fine line between doing nothing, to avoid any conflict at all, and doing what is right, knowing that there may be someone who retaliates in a conflict manner.
If you edit an article, and I revert... who started it? Should you have not edited? Should I have not reverted?

I previously had left a note on Nacon's user talk page that (s)he was on long wikibreak and would be back when ready. Now that they have left with the intention of not coming back, I was going to leave a {{retired}} on the userpage, but noticed it was last deleted by You on 1st July this year. Could I please seek your permission and/or advice with regards to marking Naconkantari as retired, so that I do not breach the rules regarding recreation of deleted pages. Thanks.

... the full version of the ongoing fair use issues for the past year or so, but your statement on the Betacommand talk page that:
If your images are being tagged and deleted, then I propose that you are not, in fact, "following the fair use rules" correctly
... fails to take in to account a couple of things. One, enforcement and interpretation of the fair use rules have, obviously, changed significantly over the past six months. (For example, what was once "fair use" is now "Non-free content.") And what was once perfectly acceptable under Wikipedia policy is now not so much. It's entirely possible for a contributor to have followed every guideline as they existed a year ago, and now find their contributions being massively deleted. (This appears to be happening quite often, judging by the Betacommand talk page.) And two, there are at least two major instances of editors/admins deleting thousands of images out of process, thanks in part to the Betacommandbot. ( Here's the most obvious one.)
Just remember that it's entirely possible for the Betacommandbot to be tagging and prepping for deletion thousands of images... AND for those images to have been uploaded and accepted entirely within process. The ever changing nature of Wikipedia makes it so! Jenolen speak it! 08:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not using Wikipedia as a free web host. The graphics lab is in fact part of Wikipedia! The reason the images were in the graphics lab were because they are parts of a main image, but in a higher resolution. This main image had recently been marked for deletion, as it was replaceable. The purpose of Image:mappart1,2,3 was for the image lab to make the replacement (they needed larger version). As i said before, they were never intended for articles, but were for the graphics lab. Therefore, I am not using Wikipedia as a web host!
As it happens, the lab has now finished with all the images, and they all can be deleted- the replacement is ready.
Please do not leave anymore pointless messages on my talk page. Please read and check facts before accusing!

I am puzzled as to why you would nominate my article for speedy deletion. I have followed underground British hip-hop and grime for the last 10 years, and any artist who has won Kennet Awards, usually has huge success (eg. The Streets & Dizzee Rascal). G-Star has released 2 mixtapes (available at some HMV stores) and is shortly releasing his debut album. His 1st single went in at #49 in the UK Charts, and was considered for the Need For Speed soundtrack. What else does it take to show that this artist is famous enough to stay on Wiki? I'm unsure whether it was you or not, but the article "G-Star" has been deleted, and the last name on the log was yours.
I'd appreciate your help with this. Please reply to my talk page

The method you employed for having those categories deleted (by misrepresenting the time they had been empty) is unacceptable. The merits of "Kurdistan" nonwithstanding, you employed deletion templates in such a way as to perform an "end run" on consensus by essentially tricking someone into deleting them under false pretenses. A user with your experience should know better, and this type of action is simply not proper. This, in conjunction with the many other dramas you've been the center of over the past two years is making it difficult for me to assume that you're consistently editing in good faith or using good judgment.

After accidentally marking his page Farm Sluts as an attack (since to me it did not appear to be a genuine page) and notifying him on his talk page, User:Spiritpresent has apprently felt it necessary to call me mentaly retarded. After I apologized and retracted my statement he apparetly felt the need to go an make my article Doll Graveyard marked as an attack page.

I am, apparently, a newbie at this kind of dispute resolution. I have no idea what to do, but ask you, since you have dealt with Mr Conradi before, to please see [2] and advise me what the correct procedure is. I have endeavoured to correct material errors in his edits, as well as to remove inappropriate references to myself, and he simply reverts every time. He is well over the three-reverts rule. I am probably also over the rule, but my reverts have in every case attempted to correct and improve the article, while his have simply been gainsaying. Please help. Thank you. -- Evertype· â 13:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Chair boy said : "Your snarky comment aside, the reason the HOTSOUP article was deleted was that it was being used to create notability for the site (it made no assertion of how HOTSOUP met WP:WEB), which is just not kosher. I protected it because the people making the article tried gaming DRV by "voting" a number of times and deleting other people's comments. If you're sure you'd like to align yourself with them, you're more than welcome to, but it will hurt your credibility." - CHAIRBOY (â) 14:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
I was not trying to be "snarky" (code word for unwanted criticism), I was expressing my newfound disgust with the entire Wikipedia project and I will admit that Wikipedia is not the place to do so. For that I apologize. As for my credibility, I would not want it aligned with anyone involved in this "wiki" project. I once thought that collaborative enterprises were a good idea but after being accused of vandalism by vandals, observing the most petty of personal politics, seeing information blocked for ideological reasons (there is still not even an article saying what HOTSOUP is in even 3 sentences - can a thee sentence article be corruptible? BTW how many articles have you deleted as opposed to edited? judging by the comments it is a lot.) and reading the most corrupted of articles I can honestly say that I have never seen an idea seem to have so much promise yet yield so much garbage.

If we know that the User:Stephencolbert account is not really an account for Stephen Colbert then it should be possible to remove the statement "Block pending identity confirmation" from User talk:Stephencolbert. The basis for a checkuser evaluation in this case has never really been explained ("It must be used only to prevent damage to one or several of Wikimedia projects"). If there was a request made to check the IP for the the User:Stephencolbert account then who made the request and on what basis? If the check was done, who did it and what was done with the checkuser information? Some people have claimed that User:Stephencolbert is a "vandalism only" account and so a checkuser evaluation should have been performed. I do not understand how we are supposed to uphold Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers and Wikipedia:Assume good faith and still decide that the User:Stephencolbert account is a "vandalism only" account. I do not understand why Wikipedia needs to prevent discussions and remove discussion from an editor's talk page when members of the community want to discuss the editing that was done by that user. Members of the community should be able to ask honest questions about administrator and checkuser actions. "If you feel I've acted improperly...." <-- I think we are dealing with a unique situation that requires community discussion. My interest is in understanding what happened and making sure that Wikipedia's response to what happened is reasonable. When unanswered questions about what happened are simply deleted it only produces the appearance of a cover up. Why not help the community answer the questions that have been raised rather then erase the questions? -- JWSchmidt 02:03, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
"isn't worth fighting over" <-- I have no interest in a fight. I agree that it was wise to do a checkuser on the Stephencolbert account, block the Stephencolbert account and since so much time has now passed it makes sense to strip the Stephencolbert talk page down to a simple request for identity confirmation.
"if you want to unprotect it and restore the content to its former glory, go ahead" <-- I think your action was a reasonable action; I'm not sure that you are the one who should have done it.
"We probably did most of the discussion via IRC, and if that smacks of cabalism, <shrug>, that's not the intention, but it was the best tool at the time" <-- I do not have a problem with making use of IRC in this way, but I know it bothers other Wikipedia participants. In my opinion, if Wikipedia participants are bothered by these sorts of things then it helps to let them discuss the situation. Since most people who were concerned seem to have lost interest, I'm basically satisfied with the window for discussion that was allowed.
"If you feel you've been wronged or that I've gone rouge" <-- I have no personal stake in this matter beyond a hope that Wikipedia as an institution can learn from what happened.
"I'd hate to create the appearance of any impropriety" <-- My questions about deleting discussions from the talk page and preventing discussions by protecting the page from editing arise from by belief that it does not hurt to let people talk. The more fundamental problem is that for myself and others it is not clear that existing checkuser policy provides an avenue for checking the IP for a user account such as the Stephencolbert account. I find it a bit strange that nobody within Wikipedia seems willing to discuss the matter....the consensus seems to be that it is wise to let this sleeping dog lie. I guess the key dynamic of the situation is that the checkuser policy is something that comes down to the community from the Wikimedia Foundation. The Foundation now has an "ombudsman commission" that can play a role in suggesting needed adjustments to checkuser policy. I'll just pass the matter on to the ombudsman commission. --

I have already discussed this with a moderator about the SETI, and as long as it is put as a conspiracy (not claimed as a fact, similar to a JFK conspiracy) it is acceptable. But how can I stop people from removing it (especially if they are not registered) without telling me why they want it removed? If a section this large is to be removed, I need to first talk to them as to why (debate maybe?). "We have confirmation - and I'm not going to give the name yet because we are trying to coax this guy out of the closet - but one of the senior most people in the SETI project" ... that is why the name cannot be given out (safety for the person's name). I don't understand why you will block this. For a guy to come out and make a statement like that, especially while at the same time bringing up Paul Allen's name. I don't think Paul Allen would approve of him doing so, yet I have heard of no denial at all from Paul Allen (he also brought up Carl Sagan name). For him to go public, in front of many people, and have his videos uploaded knowing well that he used Paul Allen's name is risky because of the wealth and influence Paul has (to use Paul's name within a lie would not do him any good), and for him to get away with it as a "lie" cannot work in this situation because Paul Allen has not stopped him. nima baghaei 16:31, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for reminding me that the reference desk is not a soapbox when I commented on how using drugs was, at least in my eyes, a "bad idea". Yes, I considered not making that comment, but should wikipedia really be giving out advice that could ruin its reputation, or perhaps even kill the person asking the question? I don't mean to disobey any rules about commenting on questions, but I do recall seeing a rule about wikipedia that said something like 'If a rule prevents an improvement from being made, break it.' or something like that. Similarly, I'm sure that many people who help run the reference desk would not like a question such as this one on their conscience. I didn't mean to be posting my opinion, but answers to questions like "are there any easily made narcotics" could really screw up someone's life and/or Wikipedia's reputation. That is why I said that giving an answer to a question such as this one is generally a bad idea. The issue here really is, "should Wikipedia really be giving out that sort of advice?". Thank you for reminding me, though. Ilikefood 01:06, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, you have a point on the way that I answered it. I shouldn't have said it the way that I had. You are completely right that I should have said that maybe he/she should review Drug-related crime instead of me telling him/her that it was wrong. Sorry. I just got a bit over-excited.

"It appears as if you're not getting the response you anticipated, but I encourage you to pause for a moment, see that consensus already exists, and accept it"
I'm more than a little bit dissapointed at the tone you've taken on several occasions through out this Cydebot deletions micro-drama. I'm assured that everyone involved in bot-land gives tacit approval, no objections raised, etc etc etc. What I'm not clear on is why you (and Cyde) have taken such a hostile and confrontational tone. From where I sit, it's quite straightforward:
Statements 1 and 2 don't match up, not by a long shot. When I asked about it, I got the polite three fingers and "Go write an article or something." Sweet. Admins and bit-runners should respond fully and civily when questions are asked, and in this case he was both and neither, in that order.
If someone says again that Cyde should be thanked for all this, I'll spew. It wouldn't have killed him, or any of you, do consider that you're a tiny percentage of wikipedia adminstrators and that everyone might not have agreed with the whole "tacit approval for unsupervised admin bots" thing. Now it may turn out that they do, although I have to say that the sample on Pump right now is a slightly biased one. But whatever the outcome, I don't see why I have to continue to be pilloried by you for intruding into the bot fiefdom and simply asking the question.

Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent RFA. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week.

Not meaning to "stalk" but rather to learn by example from your contribs, I saw your recent exchange on an article talk page where there'd been repeated requests to censor text, pictures, or the entire article. Thinking, perhaps naively, that one clear statement up front might help reduce the repetition, I came up with the following box, and added it at the top of that talk page. If you'd find it helpful, please use or adapt wherever you deem suitable. -- Ben 17:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I did mention it at the project talk page. So far no-one's complained, though the week is young.
I have now turned the above box into Template:Notcensored.
Also, someone else had created a longer block of text, with a stop-sign, that specifically fits (and is on) the talk pages of articles with images of nudity or sexual anatomy. I've adapted this into Template:Notcensored2, with two minor changes from the original text: 1) removed a blank line from top, 2) used BASEPAGENAME to provide the article name automagically, so that doesn't have to be typed in every time.
It's probably better to "subst" these -- {{subst:notcensored}} or {{subst:notcensored2}} -- rather than make the poor computers transclude them each load. That also reduces the risk of being affected by template vandalism.
But would you please protect these two templates anyway? -- Ben 11:03, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Over one million google hits seems to be a fair indicator of notability, by my standards (summary: if it surpasses Bajoran wormhole which gets 44 thousand, it is notable). I know it's a fairly arbitrary standard, but think about it -- people are more than twice as interested in aXXo than in one of our oldest and most stable articles. I'm not stumping for reinstatement of this article, but I went to it to edit it, and found it nonexistent and salted, with you at the helm, so to speak, and just thought you might find it suitable to change your opinion on notability of aXXo... or at least keep abreast of the increase in notability of this entity. If there's no article, I certainly won't edit it, and I'll leave it alone, but I think this article will be written eventually. How's the weather up there in the Willamette valley?

Is he intending to trace me all the way back to 2001 and delete articles like Kangaroo just because I started them? Where would it end, will he track back my sister's edits and delete all those as well? I would appreciate your help if you are willing to give some time by reviewing my edits he has been removing from the History of colonialism article. I do not understand, my edit is based on the US Dept. of State own records about US actions in 1962.

There was only one other Wikipedia editor who knew anyting about the subject and was trying to help. But Wikipedia 3-revert rule means 3 people automatically can control any article with two or less active editors. No-one would help because they didn't know anything about the subject -- yet they would allow three apparent racist impose their fixated beliefs. I do not want to waste my life dealing with Gsd2000, I refused to get into a edit-war with him and now he's taking his anger out on Wikipedia articles. If you don't help Wikipedia, who will? 58.107.15.245 09:11, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
I feel I'm being harassed by 58.107.15.245 - he's filed an RfC on me and not even bothered to either read the requirements for an RfC, or even how to write one up.

I wrote a page that was marked for speedy deletion only seconds after it was created. There were already some twenty links to the page, that's why I wrote it. It took a minute to understand what had happened, and to act accordingly. So I inserted ((hangon)) in the article, and wrote an explanation on the talk page.
When I had submitted the talk page, the article was already deleted by Chairboy. Why? Did you have time to read the article? Or did you have a list of "forbidden topics", so that were sure that a bot could make a proper decision. âThe preceding unsigned comment was added by 194.237.142.11 ( talk) 15:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC).
How did you manage to mark the article for speedy deletion within a minute after I wrote it? Apparently, there was an article with the same subject deleted in January; at that time, the given reason for deletion was "blatant advertising". That's not the case with my article. So, what was the reason? Why did the deletion have to be speedy? Was the decision based on the subject (Propellerhead Software), or on the article contents?

How did the Flipside webcomic meet the criteria for speedy deletion?

I stumbled across your script while reading the thread on WP:AN about automated deletion. Interesting code. I cobbled together something similar last month. One difference I notice is that you put the HTML tags in yourself while I build up the HTML from an array of CSD reasons. I thought that it would be easier to edit the array than edit the HTML. Anyways, if you're curious, you can take a look at my monobook.js for the code. It's at the bottom.

Chairboy - I have no idea how to do Wikipedia. I am not qualified to be the editor of this page. I was simply trying to establish that the band does meet the notability requirements.

I do not know the lingo or the process. I am just a fan and see that their credentials more than qualify. Thanks Avidbandfan 21:22, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

You deleted The Wedding (band)in error. Please restore. According to Wikipedia the following are some of the "criteria that make it very likely that sufficient reliable information is available about a given group or individual musician:"
1. Has had a charted hit on any national music chart. The Wedding had two number one hits on the national radio christian rock charts (Radio and Records). Right now they currently have 2 hits in the top 30 if you will look at Radio and Records charts this week (March 2, 2007) at http://www.radioandrecords.com/Formats/Charts/Christ_Rock_Chart.asp The songs are "Morning Air" from their first album, and "Say Your Prayers" from the upcoming album which has only been released to radio stations. This chart is the authority used in the music industry to monitor national radio airplay.
3. Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,3 reported in reliable sources. The Wedding has been on national tours - You can verify one of the national tours with well known bands at the following website www.seespotrock.com This tour alone included 14 states and Canada.
4. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). The Wedding is issuing it's second album on April 17, 2007. The first album had 2 number one radio hits (Radio and Records) as stated above. The label executives also signed and produced notable performers Michael W. Smith, Amy Grant, Relient K.
10. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network. The Wedding's "Say Your Prayers" and "Morning Air" are in rotation nationally right now. In fact, "Say Your Prayers" placed first with the most adds by radio stations according to Radio and Records for the past 2 weeks. Again, here is the URL to the chart for you to verify http://www.radioandrecords.com/Formats/Charts/Christ_Rock_Chart.asp You can also verify on the Effect Radio Network of radio stations - they have over 51 stations from east and west coasts + Hawaii. That is only one of the networks airing and that add alone has over 50 stations. You can see others that have on the Radio and Records site. Here is an actual current playlist that will show The Wedding's songs being played 9 times in 24 hours. The URL is http://www.christianrock.net/playlist.asp?userid=0&more=yes&bwDate=2/18/2007
The song Say Your Prayers is also on Radio U's Ten Most Wanted. The URL is http://tvulive.com/radiou/tmw
11. Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio or TV network. The band has already had one appearance and just recorded another for "The Logan Show" which is aired on the nationally. According to the Logan show's website it is broadcast to over 225 million homes nationally and internationally on a growing list of networks including JC-TV, FamilyNet, The Inspiration Network (INSP), iLifetv, TCT Network, Victory Television Network (VTN), God TV, Alpha Omega Broadcasting, Good Life Broadcasting and DirectTV through World Harvest Television. The audio version can be heard on Sirius Satellite Radio, channel 159., this is where it airs. The April 28, 2006 appearance can be verified at the show's website at the following URL http://loganshow.com/index.cfm?PAGE_ID=70&NEW_SUBSEC_PAGES=1,0
The show just recorded will be aired in April just before the release of the band's new album.

I saw that you asked why the AXXo talk page was deleted. It is standard practice to delete talk pages to articles that don't exist. The article has been deleted and salted. - CHAIRBOY ( â) 23:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
There is at least some importance to this topic though, since people do make searches and post inquiries into the AXXo talk page. When will there be a process for reinstatement, since the link on the aXXo page gives me no information to appeal an article post deletion.-- Chrisdab 01:32, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

It was stated before on the article's talk page, before that was deleted too, that if a good article was written on this person, that it would be used as the article. It was also stated on that talk page that the reason the page was deleted and locked was that the previous article there was poorly written. Now although you dont feel this person is notable and I can agree with your points, it should also be taken into consideration that there are forums and websites dedicated to this person. If a well written article was written on this person, would it then allow the article to be created? -- Chrisdab 20:37, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
I would like to know why did you delete the Axxo wikipedia page. I personally think you blatantly violated wikipedia policies and without proper explanation I'll have to report this.âThe preceding unsigned comment was added by 91.127.122.248 (talk ⢠contribs).
Hmm, tough crowd. This is my first posting, so I apologize for all errors in advance. I originally came here looking for information on Axxo also, but after reading this discussion I would like to post a few points.
a) Because other articles exist that also deserve deletion is irrelative (i.e. because all mistakes are not corrected doesn't imply that no mistake should be corrected).
b) Axxo is notable, well sorta... It/he/she/them certainly doesn't meet the criteria Chairboy cited, however thousands if not millions are familiar. The MPAA certainly is, not to mention the UrbanDictionary defines axxo as a generic term for a high quality rip. Also, imho, notoriety and controversy should be considered. I believe Chairboy's CNN comment was to contrast Axxo's notability and inject a little humor, not to be flippant.
c) If the article were revived what could it possibly have in it? Little information is known, hardly enough for a decent article.
d) It appears if Chairboy did error, and not I'm sure he did, it was an honest mistake -not a malicious one.
My humble suggestion is prepare an article, show them the error of their ways. What else is the point of this discussion? For what it is worth 74.34.111.38 06:08, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

If you're not too busy, could you possibly lend a hand on a problem I just discovered? (I recall that you took care of some Copyvio deletions I requested a few weeks back.) In the space of one hour earlier today, an anon. editor posted lengthy POV Copyvio edits on nine separate articles (whew!). I have already confirmed and deleted two of these copyvio edits, and I am quite certain that all of the others were copied from the same source -- a very POV right-wing website called Discoverthenetwork.org. I also left a note on the anon's talk page asking him not to post such material.

Comment on an article or article section on the article's talk page. Not only is that the correct venue but it allows others interested in the topic to view the history of discourse.

Howdy! On the talk page for Danny's RfA, you wrote 'Sigh, what purpose do these stats serve?'. I'm not certain what you mean, they serve the purpose that anything does on this project.

Hi
You've just deleted the "Paul Courbis" page I've created. I try to understand the process. You say (in comments) that "14:35, 11 April 2007 Chairboy (Talk | contribs) deleted "Paul Courbis" (WP:CSD Articles, subsection 7 - No assertion of notability is made by this person, music group, or organization) "
I don't understand this as I explained (both in header & discussion) that Paul is one of the main contributors of HP calculators development as he wrote unoficial reference books about the Saturn processor. Thus, the "no assertion of notability made" seems to me a wrong assertion. I'd understood if the reason was "notability is insufficient" or "not enough explained" by the author of this page.
Can we discuss a little bit more on this deletion ?
I'll be looking here for your answer
Thx
Alain
PS: english is not my native language, and there is peharps a misunderstanding from me on what an "assertion of notability" is ? I understood it as a objective justification but perhaps is it some paper to sign ?

This is how

First, thanks for deleting the link, it shows that you're willing to take a step back from the precipice, and I appreciate it. Second, as you know, the purpose of an ArbCom ruling like this is to implement a decision to protect the project. It is their ruling that linking to an attack site is verbotten. When you instead provided a link to a Google search that had the attack site in question as the only result, it's an example of trying to weasel around their ruling. Now, there's nothing wrong with weaseling, it's what seperates us from the animals. Well, except for the weasel... but in this context, it comes back to the first year law student issue. There's a term 'wikilawyering' that has come into vogue that describes this action, specifically looking for a tiny loophole to remain technically within the letter of, but in direct contravention of the spirit of a policy or arbcom decision. I think you're very aware of this, but I'm hoping you'll reconsider the path you're on and try doing things that help the project instead. If you have any further questions, let me know and I'll try and help. - CHAIRBOY ( â) 14:33, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

Ben, thank you for your actions related to the Klemmer & Associates page.
I see from your history and personal page that you champion neutrality and removal of POV from wiki.
As a relatively new contributor to wiki, I have been dismayed by the one-sidedness of the LGAT series of articles. The creators and major contributors appear to be pushing their POV. However, they appear to be using (twisting? distorting?) wiki rules in order to document their pov and thus legitimize their use of wiki to attack companies and organizations.
My understanding of LGAT is that it is not scientifically defined. Each author defines it for themselves, either by direct-definition or by definition-by-example. As there is no clear and concise definition, there is no standard which can be applied against an organization in order to include them in the LGAT category. The pro-ponents of the LGAT label, insist on branding companies as LGAT, but refuse to allow LGAT to be properly defined or documented. They refuse to allow its multiple and vague deffinitions to be documented. They refuse to allow the fact that it is a term primarily used by the anti-cult community to be documented in the article. They very adeptly use wiki-rules to delete, revert and re-write anything which gets added in an effort to clean up or unbias the entire series of articles.
I feel completely out-gunned here and everything I have tried to add either gets reverted or the paragraph gets mysteriously re-written in a flurry of other edits and any injection of neutrality is suddenly gone.
Ok, that (brief?) history being given.. My question/request is this.. can anything be done to stop/correct or resolve this? (you may respond here, I will watch) Lsi john 17:58, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
I probably shouldn't have said it since I'm not sure but I believe this is light current. At least one other editors has reverted someone with a similar IP [10] & [11]. See Wikipedia talk:Reference desk#Shampoo where there is discussion Nil Einne 22:26, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
There is a distinct lack of consensus on ANI that my block should have been reverted, if anything the consensus is that the block was within my discretion. You agreed that the block was not invalid, and RFCN does not review username blocks. There is nothing left to do but to reinstate the block. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 19:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I think one of the major issues in our argument was that I was not clear enough in my initial response. While I thought I was clear that the block should stand and that greater discussion should take place before any reversal, it seems I failed to communicate that correctly. I will try to be more clear next time, and I will also search harder to notice such miscommunication in the future. I certainly have respect for your actions in the past, and in light of this misunderstanding this issue starts to make sense too.
Sorry if I was a bit heavy handed, at the time I was under the impression that you knew I wanted more discussion before you reverted me. HighInBC(Need help? Ask me) 15:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, will you please block this user, he is obviously a sockpuppet of that user who you recently blocked and who keeps making personal attacks against both of us, I've left a suspected sock tag on his userpage and warned him for vandalism on his user talk page, sorry I have not reverted the vandalism on your userpage.

For the life of me I can't figure out why you suddenly deleted this image without even looking at the accompanying discussion on its discussion page, the result of which was to keep the image. That discussion is now gone and I don't know if it's recoverable. The person who deleted the image the last time also did so completely blindly, saying that it's an orphan which was complete nonsense since turbofolk article always linked to it.

Hi Chairboy, regarding this, I wonder if you might take another look? I didn't provide a link in any of the templates because I couldn't get it to work, it just stayed as "unquestionably a copyvio of {{{URL}}}". The uploader has provided the URL from which the image was taken and there is no assertion of ownership or permission. The link is still on the image page and was directly underneath the template, so I didn't feel it necessary to spend time playing about trying to get the template to work. Could you go back and see what I mean? -- YFB ¿ 14:39, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Ben, thanks for your comment; let me clarify where I'm at a little:
That is well and good, but for any policy that is enforcable against users, there must be a way that a reasonable user of ordinary intelligence can discover what the rules are. The problem here wasn't that I didn't understand what the specific template said, it was that I was mislead by WP's written policy and previous replies by admins in blocking requests as to what the purpose of using the WP:WARN templates is.
Now, you must surely see that there's only two ways that a user can discover that: if it's written somewhere in WP policy, or if they get it wrong ("wrong" being defined by common practise) and an admin tells them. What you wrote on my talk page is all perfectly reasonable. But it isn't in any written canonical WP policy document that I'm aware of. That left only one way I could find that out: to get it wrong and be told. If one of the admins at ANI had responded the way you responded on my talk page, that would have been fair and reasonable. But as you can see at ANI, they didn't; they formed a lynch mob. That's why I "dug my heels in and fought harder" - because the admins there were being totally unreasonable. At no point did any of them grasp that they were trying to hang me from an understanding of WP policy which is not only not embodied in any written policy, but in fact cuts against the very strong insinuations of several written policies, not the least of which being WP:WARN itself.

Chairboy, I came across File:Cadet2.jpg ( | talk | history | links | watch | logs) when I followed a link to it from a derivative work. Why was the image deleted? -- Iamunknown 04:16, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
"I'm very confused about how things work on Wikipedia. It appears that it's okay to call other people names that are in no way "nice", but if someone mentions that this sort of behavior could be considered (I won't say the word, but it starts with the letter "L" and it rhymes with "Bible"), that is an "indef blockable" offense? Are you taking sides in the matter, and challenging only the after-the-fact "legal threats"? Or, have you been equal in counseling restraint among those who use inflammatory labels to malign other users?"
I for one don't agree that this constitutes a legal threat. Even policy discourages defamatory remarks. That isn't thereby threatening to file a lawsuit. -- Ben TALK/ HIST 02:59, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
"The words "stalker", "terrorist", and "criminal" have been used above to describe Daniel Brandt. If these are true statements, why haven't law enforcement authorities been notified to prosecute Brandt on charges? If it's because these statements are untrue, then that's libel, folks. You're not doing Wikipedia any favors by libeling someone, or conversely, you're not doing the world any favors by typing on Wikipedia while you should be contacting the FBI. Make up your minds." (diff)
That also is not a legal threat. It's a true statement of the law (as far as I understand the law), and incidentally of Wikipedia's policies (e.g. WP:BLP), and might possibly suggest that Brandt could sue, but it says nothing about the writer's own intentions; it never suggests "I'll sue!"
Chairboy, if I offered links to pirated "warez" or other blatant copyvios, and you advised me that these were violations of copyright law (and thus of Wikipedia policy), could I have you blocked for making a legal threat? -- Ben TALK/ HIST 04:25, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

3O: Based only on the text in this thread, I see no legal threats. As far as I know, a person can't sue for libel on someone else's behalf. There may be a straw that breaks a camel's back, but it should be a real straw and this doesn't appear to be one. This seems to me to be a description of facts, as seen by the editor. I don't even see an implied threat here. Lsi john 13:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
(Copied back from User talk:Ben#WikiGnosis:)
Howdy! While I respect your opinion, I must disagree. The user has repeatedly made legal threats against users. The cutesy way he/she is doing it doesn't excuse the fact. Also, the user just accused the admin who reviewed and denied the unblock request of disrupting wikipedia to make a point in this edit. As I mentioned in the AN/I thread, this user does not appear to be operating in good faith. Review the content of his/her edits, both for the circumspect legal threats and the content, and I'm certain it'll become immediately clear. You and I have agreed in the past about some admins being block-happy, specifically over at WP:RFCN, but I don't believe this is one of those situations. - CHAIRBOY ( â) 14:56, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

You deleted my page "Casual Science" before I was even finished. You flagged it as CSD, which states "Note that some Wikipedians create articles in multiple saves, so try to avoid deleting a page too soon after its initial creation."
Your reason was that it lacked notability. My unfinished page was mine, the website it represents is mine, and the website exists. You made reference to Articles: Section 7, which makes no sense. My site deals only with science and art, as mentioned, and just because you have never heard of it doesn't mean it's not important.

Please reconsider submitting inappropriate usernames unless you can confidently do so properly. Violations should be absolutely crystal clear, with no doubt about their propriety.

Hello,
Recently I noticed that an article Slave hack was deleted because there were no third party sources.
I've recently, however, found this: [12] from PC gamers UK. Do you have any suggestions? Would that be good enough to satisfy notability? Perhaps something to start a deletion review? Please respond on my talk page. Aquatics Guard Alert 03:05, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Please don't treat Irpen like that. [13] He's a very committed Wikipedian, whatever disagreements you may have with him, and he took the trouble to write fully and explanatorily to you. You're an admin, you're held to a higher standard than grinning and waving like an idiot in response. If you weren't just doing that â if there was some deep dimension to your post that made it meaningful and valuable â then he didn't get it, and I don't get it. Perhaps in that case you could interpret and explain. I hope you speak to users in order to communicate with them, not in order to amuse yourself and your friends at their expense. Bishonen | talk 00:55, 1 May 2007 (UTC).
I made no statement about you doing anything with respect to this particular accident. In my ANI entry I stated some obvious facts:
In response you posted a strange entry at my talk accusing me of being generally admin-hungry, in that eating (or at least biting) admins is all I do. Further you vaguely accused me in having no interest towards "investing the effort." I did not get that part at all, especially when said by someone who hasn't made a single substantive article edit in last month ( 56 mainspace edits in the month of April, none of which significant. I did not look further back, could be if I looked for two months I would have found an FA or a GA plus a DYK entry and destubbing of the underedited article. In that case, I would happily retract and top it off with a great article writer barnstar.)
I posted a detailed and good-faithed response where I elaborated in a greater detail. Then you posted this (possibly) offensive, purposefully ungrammatical and somewhat contrary to the original book statement (about Oz and a bucket) which does not make sense no matter how one looks at it.
Your invoking the WoO implies that I accused you in being behind the scenes in orchestrating this incident (I never said it was you in this case). However, it was the witch, not the Wizard, who was killed by the bucket of water which I (or you?) supposedly "has" (hard to understand exactly who you refer to in your edit summary.) So, it just didn't make sense to me.
Neither I could make anything out of your deliberately ungrammatical summary. If you were mocking my imperfect English, do it as you please. (Btw, English is my third language by the order of fluency. Not very impressive, I admit. Perhaps, you know more foreign languages and know some of them better than I know English. Good for you.)
If that was not mocking my English either, the only other way I could imagine is that it was your attempting to assume blackface dialect, which is itself very offensive in a public forum, especially when said to a person that you don't know.
If that was neither of those but something else all along, I would have no clue but I did not know what to do with what seemed nonsense to me (offensive or not, I was not sure).
Bishonen, who watchlists my talk, spotted the entry and took an effort to reprimand you because whatever it was that you were saying it was nonsencial at best, intended as an offense (likely) or harassment at worst. I thank her for that, but such matters are not worth her valuable time. I have a very thick skin and I've seen much worse than your acid-tongued remarks.
Happy edits whether you plan to make some in the mainspace or not. -- Irpen 21:07, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't think you know the whole story between me and AldeBaer/Kncyu. (he changed his name recently) It is long and it involves hateful e-mails from him to me, and his new found support of prejudiced propaganda on the Manfred Von Richtofen page to furhter his feud with me. I don't know why you would take his side, or why he would reach out to your if he did? I at least say my responses, which at this late point are heated, openly. I also provide sound logic. I do not do all of the subterfuge and feuding that he does. II have asked him to drop this so many times. I would not even be writing about this if he did not start pasting old random discussions and warnings on my talk page obsessively, and maliciously reverting the MvR page to include "propaganda" (Hebrew Impact on Western Civilization, vii) while I was gone, I was assuming he would be stopped by someone else, or grow up and give it up. He even said he didn't care about the article at all earlier, it is just his feud with me. whatever. Wiki is really not a respectable source for anything anyway. In part due to characters like AldeBaer//Kncyu and his incredibly limited number of supporters. 71.192.101.77JohnHistory
BTW, having read your offensive message on my board, if you haven't already seen me show how he is a jerk on the discussion page at Manfred Von Richtofen (and archived) and all my exhaustively detailed points along with others ( i bought the sources) then you haven't been paying any attention to this "debate" at all. I have tried to be civil, and I still am keeping a lid on it. However, he doesn't engage in logical debate, he attacks me and trys to get me blocked, and reverts to propaganda just to be uncivil himself. I could care less about all this "blocked" whatever mumbo jumbo, all of your weird phrases about socks. etc. I am a purist here. I just want some basic integrity for the articles I see. You guys can run around like chickens with your heads cut off all day for all I care. It is really pathetic. Why are you here if not to work on the articles?

Hello, I went to the talk page of the lesbian article and twice I have had my comments about the article removed by Gwen Gale. I notice that the article is somewhat bias, it seems very pro-lesbian, which is not worthy of an encyclopedia. I found no scientific nor psychological studies to back up the article. It seems one is not allowed to question or edit Gwen Gale's article. -- Margrave1206 21:20, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for checking! I apologize for blanking the page and understand this is not how speedy deletion usually works. For this cleanup project, however, it makes things much easier because of the many redirects involved. Content is moved from his pages to other more appropriate pages, unless it is copy-pasted or irrelevant in which case it is just deleted. Several hundred disambiguation pages have been deleted in the last week or two alone. Some of the content added by the banned user (SU) might appear to be relevant but is actually very often not. To someone unfamiliar with the project I can totally understand the thinking that his contributions should be kept - that is one reason why his thousands of destructive edits have lasted for so long. His content is being deleted for a reason, though, so I would urge you not to restore anything since it will just be deleted again anyway. Thanks again!

The image currently used on the Falcon 9 page has listed in the description section:
The licensing section indicates it is used under the GNU Free Documentation License (FDL).
But the image is now somewhat out of date, as it shows a variant no longer planned for production, the Falcon 9 S-5. My understanding of the FDL leads me to believe that anyone may make a derivative work (in this case, removing the section of the image showing the S-5 variant). Before suggesting anyone make that effort, though, I thought it would make sense to check with you to see if the FDL certainly applies to this image, and also if there might be some already-updated version of the image that would similarly be available under FDL. Thanks in advance for any information you can provide about the origins of the current image! ( Sdsds - Talk) 17:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about calling you an idiot in the past, I was just frustrated that after correcting a redirect of mine you had to chime in "even during your attention getting stunt," I mean you could have just told me about the redirect and been on your way, if you still are vague on the ordeal you can find it at User talk:PatPeter/Index/Usertalk#Deleted Redirect. - Pat Peter 19:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hello. His statement was ambiguous enough to require an emergency procedure (that was asked by people from your wiki). I knew there was a possibility of misspelling, but there was also a possibility of disclosure. I desysopped him to let the time for the ArbCom to look into this case or for him to explain himself. If he was really about to disclose deleted bio content, risks were high and action was necessary. If it was only a misunderstanding, losing his admin tools during a few hours was no big deal, and any bureaucrat would give him his tools back without any problem. Cheers, guillom 20:51, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
do you think the ruling to forbid listings of admin actions is not corruption fueling? Why can admins maintain listings of Tobias Conradi behaviour while Tobias cannot list their actions? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 14:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I'm not doing absolutely anything wrong, I've got no reason at all to be warned. Your bot decided to pick on me and other members for some strange reason. Funk Junkie 19:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Funk Junkie-- you may as well do as he says. You see, if Wikipedia were magically turned into a Principality or a State or some other Polity, these guys would be its shock troops-- and unless you have some pretty serious firepower of your own, your own best Policy (get it? Polity, Policy, Police) is to cooperate in plain view while subverting in secret. You see, until the King is cured of the phobia that came upon him in early 2006, and until the fawners and flunkeys who enabled and now escalate his phobia are brought down, those of us who cannot abide a wretchedly illustrated Wikipedia must lay low and trust in the efforts that are underway to cure the King. We have several excellent people who are very close to him (two of them in RL (Real Life)), and they are searching his history for the source of the trauma which is almost certainly the source of the phobia-- some long ago event involving a civil action that wounded him to the core. The good news: the King is a deeply reasonable man and loves the project almost like a child. We'll bring him around. Until then, follow the paranoiac WP:COPYRIGHT without indulging the paranoia yourself. And remember: the Deletionists are all about denying, removing, annulling and, well, deleting. We're all about the opposite. We're fundamentally friendly and optimistic. We can't lose. JDG 00:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
I hereby award you one of my coveted Bricks 'O Common sense for this edit. Raul654 15:00, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
For that painful but useful "goodbye" article from my old page User talk:Wahkeenah. A few friendly editors encouraged me to come back, and I chose a new user ID in order to start over. It's better to be watching a couple hundred pages than a couple thousand. Today I also posted that article on the talk page of a similarly-exasperated editor who, like me, got fed up after too many reverts and a resulting block. That article is painful to read, because it hits too close to home. But it's worthwhile, especially the lesson about too much editing in the middle of the night (especially the wrong end of it, i.e. staying up too late, as opposed to getting up early as I did today). Thank you for your kind consideration. :) Baseball Bugs 10:08, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I spent an indeterminate time, perhaps ten minutes, trying to post to the noticeboard asking for the discussion to be closed. Then someone says he's gone and blocked Jeff. I think the thing here is that people do sometimes get very upset and throw the rattle out of the pram. At such times it isn't a good idea to hassle them. I mean if you look at the comment to which Jeff was replying you'd have to realise he wasn't his usual self.
Anyway I asked coredesat, who blocked him, to unblock. And he did.
Of course people shouldn't go around making foul personal attacks, but well it would have helped if you could have kept the discussion to my talk page so I would have noticed it before it got out of hand.
Don't misunderstand me, what Jeff said was quite out of order, but I don't think this was the right way to deal with it. -- Tony Sidaway 03:16, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
Plenty of citations, a CD, more CDs on the way, international tours in Europe, a Youtube video, official web site, tons of fans, fan blogs, interesting sidenote on the name (Simpsons reference), arguments showing how it doesn't meet WP criteria for deletion... yet you deleted it, the day it was created. Wikipedia policy on notability says that notable is defined as "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice"; it is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance". Notability criteria do not equate to personal or biased considerations, such as: "never heard of this," or "page does not meet the Wikipedia notability requirements" without explaining why. [16] Why didn't you discuss it on the talk page, per WP policy -- at least allow 24 hours? ( [17]) Gekritzl 11:16, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chairboy, thanks for the nice work on Creswell. That was a good message you left--I hope s/he decides to communicate. I've seen your old school telephone sig around but just now noticed you're from Springfield. So howdy from north of you. I used to live smack up against Kelly Butte, and I miss the bike path, but I don't miss the more, uh, colorful neighbors. Cheers and happy editing! Latr, Katr 05:38, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
I have replied on my talk page.
I'm sorry for any part I played in your misunderstanding of my previous wording. I do not support making a point and I do not support intentionally starting a squall, nor did I ever make any statement which supported or encouraged such actions.
There is a fine line between doing nothing, to avoid any conflict at all, and doing what is right, knowing that there may be someone who retaliates in a conflict manner.
If you edit an article, and I revert... who started it? Should you have not edited? Should I have not reverted?

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:17, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi I have just created an article entitled Geoffrey Sampson, and note that you deleted one with this title in May 2006. My Wikipedia skills are not such that I could determine the reasons for deletion (I couldn't find the discussion).

Hi Chairboy. I wanted to seek your advice about something concerning the above page. Naconkantari has made it perfectly clear that (s)he will not be editing Wikipedia anymore. I previously had left a note on Nacon's user talk page that (s)he was on long wikibreak and would be back when ready. Now that they have left with the intention of not coming back, I was going to leave a {{retired}} on the userpage, but noticed it was last deleted by You on 1st July this year. Could I please seek your permission and/or advice with regards to marking Naconkantari as retired, so that I do not breach the rules regarding recreation of deleted pages. Thanks. Thor Malmjursson 12:19, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
On 24 june 2007, you removed the article on this man, who played a major role in both the Floris (TV series), and the movie Turkish Delight. The man has a IMBN-sub page. By my opinion, this man was notable. Care to undelete it, Chairboy, so that I can review the information given there, before I make a new article on this man? -The Bold Guy- 08:32, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
... the full version of the ongoing fair use issues for the past year or so, but your statement on the Betacommand talk page that:
If your images are being tagged and deleted, then I propose that you are not, in fact, "following the fair use rules" correctly
... fails to take in to account a couple of things. One, enforcement and interpretation of the fair use rules have, obviously, changed significantly over the past six months. (For example, what was once "fair use" is now "Non-free content.") And what was once perfectly acceptable under Wikipedia policy is now not so much. It's entirely possible for a contributor to have followed every guideline as they existed a year ago, and now find their contributions being massively deleted. (This appears to be happening quite often, judging by the Betacommand talk page.) And two, there are at least two major instances of editors/admins deleting thousands of images out of process, thanks in part to the Betacommandbot. ( Here's the most obvious one.)
Just remember that it's entirely possible for the Betacommandbot to be tagging and prepping for deletion thousands of images... AND for those images to have been uploaded and accepted entirely within process. The ever changing nature of Wikipedia makes it so! Jenolen speak it! 08:33, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I stopped the page loading after clicking "save page" to type more and then again clicked "save page". I did notice that somehow this had deleted a previous users edits and you reverted it very quickly, before I had a chance to. Thank you. Think outside the box 13:42, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

I am not using Wikipedia as a free web host. The graphics lab is in fact part of Wikipedia! The reason the images were in the graphics lab were because they are parts of a main image, but in a higher resolution. This main image had recently been marked for deletion, as it was replaceable. The purpose of Image:mappart1,2,3 was for the image lab to make the replacement (they needed larger version). As i said before, they were never intended for articles, but were for the graphics lab. Therefore, I am not using Wikipedia as a web host!
As it happens, the lab has now finished with all the images, and they all can be deleted- the replacement is ready.
Please do not leave anymore pointless messages on my talk page. Please read and check facts before accusing!

Thanks for your attention to the above article. However, due to Doctor Who's strong national ties to the United Kingdom, the MoS developed at project level ( WP:WHO) recommends we consistently use British spelling.

You deleted this under WP:CSD#A7. I think there were claims of notability present, such as "the largest diabetic gift service in the U.K.", and "has received mass media coverage for his business".

I am puzzled as to why you would nominate my article for speedy deletion. I have followed underground British hip-hop and grime for the last 10 years, and any artist who has won Kennet Awards, usually has huge success (eg. The Streets & Dizzee Rascal). G-Star has released 2 mixtapes (available at some HMV stores) and is shortly releasing his debut album. His 1st single went in at #49 in the UK Charts, and was considered for the Need For Speed soundtrack. What else does it take to show that this artist is famous enough to stay on Wiki? I'm unsure whether it was you or not, but the article "G-Star" has been deleted, and the last name on the log was yours.
I'd appreciate your help with this. Please reply to my talk page

The method you employed for having those categories deleted (by misrepresenting the time they had been empty) is unacceptable. The merits of "Kurdistan" nonwithstanding, you employed deletion templates in such a way as to perform an "end run" on consensus by essentially tricking someone into deleting them under false pretenses. A user with your experience should know better, and this type of action is simply not proper. This, in conjunction with the many other dramas you've been the center of over the past two years is making it difficult for me to assume that you're consistently editing in good faith or using good judgment.
