Thank you Dynaflow! Although I'm not sure my semi-obsession with that page is all that healthy, your reward is much appreciated. I wonder if it's redeemable for Emperor Norton Lager?
I think Norton dollars should be added here and would be a better reward than the California star here!

A few days ago he did the same thing to me, this time with his sockpuppet Crazyruns. He even vandalized my AIV report against him, accusing me of being a SummerThunder sock. I see that in his latest incarnation he accused you of being a sockpuppet of me.
So, the story is, he thinks the Foundation is collaborating with the People's Republic of China to censor the Chinese Wikipedia. (That, of course, doesn't answer the question of why he's so interested in the UC Riverside page.)
Anyway, next time you run into him, just take it straight to AIV. The admins who watch AIV are familiar with his activities and will recognize him right away. If you try to engage with him he'll just pull the same thing again. Last time I ran into him I immediately filed an AIV report before even reverting his edits. I don't choose to be an admin at the moment, but if I were one I'd just block him without another word. szyslak 03:03, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

You tagged The Western Investor with speedy delete. In the article, it was asserted that the band met criterion #11 in notability on WP:MUSIC, that they were in frequent rotation on a national network, CBC Radio 3. Actually, the band's listing in the article The R3-30 (having a number-one song on the chart) was why I created the article in the first place. (I was in the process of contesting it when it was deleted.) Let me know if you have any advice. Much obliged, -- Paul Erik 06:07, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok. I had thought that reaching number one on The R3-30 chart demonstrated that they were in high rotation on CBC Radio 3, but I may not be understanding what that chart is all about. Thanks for the feedback. -- Paul Erik 06:34, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay, I've found that. I assumed, because of the way they were doing their frames, that that link was taking me to the same place as the CBC link under "External links." After reading that and the WP article on the R3-30, I'm still not convinced this one, primary source will stand. What is the criteria of this chart? "The R3-30 is a weekly record chart show on CBC Radio 3, which counts down the week's top indie rock singles as determined by airplay [Where? This one station? In Canada? On small, South Pacific islands whose names start with the letter M?], listener feedback [Abstract, "unscientific" criteria that isn't available for examination anyway], and other criteria [What other criteria?]." You yourself assert that it's hard to find anything beyond this one citation (a blog post, no less) aside from your own observations (which would constitute WP:OR). "A topic is notable if it has received significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." ( WP:NOTE) Where are those sources? --Dynaflow 07:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello, again. I realize we're having a bit of a disagreement, but I've tried to keep the discussion as civil as possible. You seem to have taken some element of this personally and displayed behavior I would not have expected out of an administrator. You have left talk-page comments in what seems from my side of the screen to be a condescending tone. You have gotten involved in a content dispute to the point where you have resisted the idea of following procedure (though, to your credit, you have not misused your sysop priviliges beyond bringing out the "admin card" as a rhetorical point very eary in the debate at my talk page).
I wasn't going to say anything until I saw this edit summary, which just blows my mind. You say that not only messages from an editor in good standing, but also of a fellow administrator, are "unwelcome" on your page. All I want is to keep this whole thing civil and by-the-book, and I don't understand why that makes you so angry. If there's something else going on beyond Wikipedia that's causing anger to spill over into Wikipedia, then you have my sympathies. However, I would ask that you try to act in the professional manner your community-granted post makes us expect from you. --Dynaflow 09:29, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
What you mean by a phrase and how it lands on the listener can be two different things. "It's your ball" does register as sarcasm or condescension whether you mean it that way or not. You seem to be going for the classic communication trick here: if I misunderstand your tone, it's my fault for not listening correctly, but if you misunderstand mine, it's my fault for not speaking correctly, so either way I end up with all the blame for any miscommunication that results. Healthy dialogue simply doesn't work that way. Bearcat 17:26, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello. I've noticed that you've placed a warning template on my new article on historian Mark Ravina stating that the article reads like a resume. Thank you for your attentive efforts to enforce standards and quality upon new articles, and for your efforts overall.
Given that the article is already written in prose paragraph form, not bulletpoints like a real resume would be, and given that I am not aware of any other biographical sources on Prof Ravina, I am wondering what you suggest should be done. Thank you. LordAmeth 15:44, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
That's exactly it. You've once again proved my point. Not only did you completely leave your neutral thought process (that's supposed to be all but required in a Wikipedia editor) at the door when you left a message on my talk page, but you replied with absolute arrogance. Arrogance is not what people look for when they are trying to find information for a critical school paper. Especially that little magic mushroom comment, which was all but mature. One more thing, you failed to see my point when responding to my point about the 'Bible'. I'm not looking for a religous pilgrimage; I'm Wiccan. The pollution of the Bible by biased sources is the reason I am Wiccan. Among other things in the practice that click with me, but thats beside the point. Their are places where an opinion is ok and places where it is not. This should be one of those places where it is not ok, because alot of people depend on editors such as yourself for information.You fail to see a bigger picture. You disappoint more then just me with your actions. You disappoint countless students. Even if you have no part in editing material that would be research information, your arrogant attitude doesn't help to set straight the ones that do have a part in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amaraiel ( talk • contribs)

Blunt honesty mixed with honest professionalism. I can appreciate that. 3) I am going to stick this out just a little while longer, though I believe more I will chose what I edit more carefully this time. For instance, my fortes are technology and asian culture. You get the point ;)

I think fair use rationales are a waste of time. I realize that including them is policy, but in practice most images don't have them and those that do often have silly ones. The whole concept is flawed, in my opinion, so I'm not going to bother. If the image police want to delete good images simply because a rationale is missing, then fine—though you'd think someone who believed in rationales that deeply would be willing to fill it in themselves.

Oh, what's he gonna do? Fuck with my pixels? Easy enough to click revert, and back it goes. He's spending more time rewriting my undos then I am clicking two or three simple links to fix them.

I was the one who put the defcon up to 2. For several reasons actually.

Dear User:Dynaflow, thanks for your note and the link. All seems very complicated and I am glad that I am not in a position to have to resolve this or similar disputes. Perhaps the dispute at issue should be left to rest for some time so as to allow people to climb down a bit from their present absolute positions. As for the link deleted from the article on Hasan Taqizadeh, I am afraid that this link may have become victim of some communal dispute: from the discussions (the link to which you kindly provided) I gather that the web-site whose link has now been deleted, may have said that the Islamic regime in Iran may have been destroying Zoroastrian monuments, etc. (I can neither confirm nor deny this claim, as my link to this web-site had solely the classic article by Taqizadeh concerning the old Iranian calendar in mind). As for copy-right issues, may I suggest that Wikipedia seek advice from a legal expert who knows the copy-right law in Iran? I have understood that in Iran copy-right on a photograph has a lifetime of 30 years, irrespective of whether any person related to this photograph is alive or not (see the copy-right statement of the following photograph: [3]). At present Iranian web-sites are all awash with identical photographs. Consequently, all the arguments to and fro between these people regarding copy-rights seem to me to be about something of very little substance, if at all. --BF 23:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi! About talk pages: yup, indeed. About the red: actually, it wasn't my signature I wanted red; it was my name in edit histories / on my watchlist. It made it easier to quickly find myself in them.

Sha-la-la-la-lee is not nonsense, it was a major hit record for the Small Faces (British group) and got to no. 3 in the UK charts in the 1960's.

WP:CSD#G4 doesn't apply to things that were speedily deleted, anyway there's no need for more than one speedy deletion template on an article, it won't get it deleted any faster. John Reaves (talk) 22:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you are probably right. I was in a hurry to get back and revert your userpage, which in the event did before I got back there. But in reality, six months is long enough for a sock-puppet, because the puppeteer can create them as fast as we can block them and blocked ones as a rule appear not to get re-activated. But if it shows up in November we just block it again, and it's easier then because we will recognise the name.-- Anthony.bradbury 22:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

As for the link deleted from the article on Hasan Taqizadeh, I am afraid that this link may have become victim of some communal dispute: from the discussions (the link to which you kindly provided) I gather that the web-site whose link has now been deleted, may have said that the Islamic regime in Iran may have been destroying Zoroastrian monuments, etc. (I can neither confirm nor deny this claim, as my link to this web-site had solely the classic article by Taqizadeh concerning the old Iranian calendar in mind). As for copy-right issues, may I suggest that Wikipedia seek advice from a legal expert who knows the copy-right law in Iran? I have understood that in Iran copy-right on a photograph has a lifetime of 30 years, irrespective of whether any person related to this photograph is alive or not (see the copy-right statement of the following photograph: [3]). At present Iranian web-sites are all awash with identical photographs. Consequently, all the arguments to and fro between these people regarding copy-rights seem to me to be about something of very little substance, if at all. --BF 23:08, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
I've added all of the pages to Wikipedia:Protected titles. If you have anything else come up, let me know. Thanks, - auburnpilot talk 23:27, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
Hey man,
If I ever turn out to be one of those users that just labels something vandalism just to say they did, slap me or something will you? I know I'm supposed to
be patient and open-minded but this guy just went to my user page, deleted something off of it I had been working on and labeled it vandalism. Vandalism by me! RAWR. If It were vandalism, I would appreciate it. If it were a vandal I wouldn't care, But this guy just seems like one of those people thats just way too quick to jump all over something. --

Hi! About talk pages: yup, indeed. About the red: actually, it wasn't my signature I wanted red; it was my name in edit histories / on my watchlist. It made it easier to quickly find myself in them. But I've had a few years now to get used to being blue/purple like everybody else; and so now I don't ever really hanker back for those early days of redness.

Yes! I love userboxes! Thanks Dynaflow! But, I should have known where to look for that user box. -- Penubag 07:23, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your messages, help is greatly appreciated (yes, I am new). Sha-la-la-la-lee is not nonsense, it was a major hit record for the Small Faces (British group) and got to no. 3 in the UK charts in the 1960's. Why is this nonsense, can a song title not be added when it is added to that songwriters details? Many thanks in advance. Sue Wallace 23:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi there; fair comment, I will attempt to contact the editor. Article remains pro tem.-- Anthony.bradbury 10:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
WP:CSD#G4 doesn't apply to things that were speedily deleted, anyway there's no need for more than one speedy deletion template on an article, it won't get it deleted any faster. John Reaves (talk) 22:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you are probably right. I was in a hurry to get back and revert your userpage, which in the event did before I got back there. But in reality, six months is long enough for a sock-puppet, because the puppeteer can create them as fast as we can block them and blocked ones as a rule appear not to get re-activated. But if it shows up in November we just block it again, and it's easier then because we will recognise the name.-- Anthony.bradbury 22:31, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Given that you have not been here very long; at least, not under this username, you have amassed a quite reasonable total of edits, including a good contribution record in WP:NAMESPACE. You also clearly have a good grasp of WP:POLICY. Are you planning on running for admin in the future? If so, I would be happy to nominate you. Let me know, if you wish, as soon as you feel you are ready.-- Anthony.bradbury 22:46, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
That's OK, you're not on trial under oath. Take a look at WP:RfA. If you would like to go for it, let me know and I will set it up. Following the on-page instructions is blindingly easy.-- Anthony.bradbury 23:27, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
I was trying to but someone beat me to it, then I started going in and trying to revert everything he has done. Thanks for the heads up though. Inter16 02:46, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
That's great news on the successful good article nom. Thanks for all your work on this and the other UC articles. How about a round of Sierra Nevadas (which is a Chico beer but is nonetheless very popular at UCSC). I also have a bottle of champagne for whenever the article reaches featured status. szyslak 04:19, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Cheers, I see you've started on the CSU series. A little encouragement:
[Template Barnstar (aw shucks) moved to userpage. Thanks for the encouragement.

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions, including your edits to
0CD therapist. As a member of the Wikipedia community, please be aware of Wikipedia's policy that
biographical information of living persons must not be libelous. Any controversial statements about a living person added to an article must include proper

I'm not an abuse reports type of guy, so I apologize if I am of little help. You might want to try reporting these socks to WP:ANI for further action and opinion by other, more experienced admins. You might be pointed to WP:ABUSE, but that page is undergoing a severe backlog. — 210 physicq ( c) 06:11, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Your RfA awaits at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dynaflow. You probably know, but if not the instructions are at WP:RfA. Take your time answering the questions before you transclude the page onto the project page. Good luck.-- Anthony.bradbury 10:17, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Congratulations! I knew you would! -- Amaraiel 21:36, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
I can't protect it. I'm not an administrator. Otherwise, I would protect it. I'll blank it for now. -- Luigi Maniac 04:33, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dynaflow - sorry about that, it seems to be messing up after my comment - the numbering resets itself. I just looked at the last number, saw 5, and thought it was only 5. Don't know what went wrong! Sorry. Cheers, – Riana ऋ 07:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
I posted George Azariah to the COIN page. I actually have no idea about notability for that article, but I have a soft heart where relatively recent widows are concerned. You may delete this message once you've read it. -- Steven J. Anderson 05:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Image:UCSC horizontal.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Image:UCSC horizontal.jpg is a duplicate of an already existing article, category or image.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Image:UCSC horizontal.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at
WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the
bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --

Hi Dynaflow,
Sorry your RfA didn't make it this time. I suggest you relax, spend some more time at Wikipedia, and read what the Opposers had to say. With that knowledge many initially unsuccessful adminship candidates have gone on to get the coveted mop! ;-) Cheers, Cecropia 02:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
