Hello East718, i notice you have deleted my recent image upload. Can I ask on what grounds? I have been given permission from the copyright holder. Do I need to show evidence for this or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voncrass ( talk • contribs) 00:07, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
That shouldn't be a problem, I already have his permission. So how do I go about getting licensing, is there some procedure to follow? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Voncrass ( talk • contribs) 00:15, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I'm requesting that you restore Image:VictoriaV07.jpg. I propose to use this in Seras Victoria. It was used there previously, but was replaced with fan art ( Image:Seras 16-1.jpg) of the character. Since both are non-free, I think the picture used in the work itself better illustrates the character. Thanks, -- Phirazo 01:00, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello! :) Late last year, Zuoken was proposed for deletion. Five days passed and no one contested it, so you deleted the article as expected. In retrospect, I feel someone should have merged and/or redirected the article to List of Greyhawk deities. After the fact, I decided to create a redirect anyway. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? If you agree, you can obliterate the current edit history, or just add it to the original edit history. Thanks, BOZ ( talk) 02:35, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello!

I want a Josiah Leming page.
I was aware that a while back that it was up for discussion, but since the page was available whenever I checked, I thought that the discussion had ended in favor of having a Josiah Leming page. I attended a week long conference away from the internet and find I missed the discussion during that time frame. If I could have been allowed to participate, I would have strongly favored keeping a Josiah Leming page.
A dedicated Josiah Leming page was useful to me and represented what I liked about Wikipedia, which was popular, current, and hot topics that are in a process of change so that it is worth my time to check the Wikipedia page from time to time. Historical and demographic information that is fairly static is easy enough to find from other sources. If I have to dig through another page to find information about Josiah Leming then that also defeats the purpose of Wikipedia being quick and easy to use versus another source. Without a page like a Josiah Leming page being available, Wikipedia is too much like the competition and frankly is not much use to me.
Watching someone who has great potential launch a career with a fascinating background story, this is the point in the time of someone’s life that I find most interesting, compared to years later when I have heard the same facts over and over again. Also he is someone young who has experienced more than average several lifetimes. He also was a very controversial cut on the most popular television show currently. I find him to be fascinating and notable. He has that “it factor”.
Glancing at the list of other topics that are still waiting to be included, I am wondering if there is a snob factor toward popular culture or at the very least, a gap between the decision makers who decide what is notable versus other segments of the population. I do wish that the decision makers at Wikipedia had a wider understanding of what different groups in the population find to be notable.
I do comprehend that Wikipedia is overwhelmed with requests for topics, but I have little interest in most of the other pages offered by Wikipedia. Frankly, I am enough of a data geek that I don’t really need Wikipedia to find information. Wikipedia was mostly a nice starter page to move on to more detailed sites or in the case of Josiah Leming, a nice page to find quick and timely information that was also abbreviated enough that I found comfortable enough to refer to other people.
I understand that you were following policy, specifically deletion policy. I have a master’s degree in public policy and years of government experience dealing with policies. However, I have policies of my own and I will maintain a personal policy of boycotting all other Wikipedia pages until a Josiah Leming page exists again.
If Josiah Leming is not notable enough for Wikipedia policies, then Wikipedia is not notable enough for me to use. By having policies that excludes a page such as Josiah Leming, then I am obviously not the intended audience for the current Wikipedia anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapbox0916 ( talk • contribs) 21:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

The fact that the image was unused is obviously subsidiary to the non-free point, as it was under the non-free claim that it was removed from Ed Petrie by Islander, and also the "not used" tag carried a later date (it said the image would be deleted after 5 April - a day later) What's the rationale, and in any case shouldn't the image talk page remain.

What is the status of the article and, more importantly, why exactly was it placed back under full-protection when it was reduced to semi-protection a while back. There are good edits that can improve that page that are being placed on hold while we wait. I feel that if there are further difficulties agreeing on what should be done with the page, then it can at least be discussed openly on the talk page. Thanks for hearing me out.

Dear East718:
All has been quiet in SockPuppet land on the Injection Lipolysis wiki . . . . until recently.
I have a COI, so I should/will not remove the recent anonymous (IP address only) edit to the wiki. That said, the recent edit is clearly biased, so in the event you were still watching the wiki, I thought I would point it out.
The previously rampant SockPuppetry on that wiki has largely subsided because the two organizations that were responsible went out of business. But some stragglers remain.

I would like to ask you not to do this, as many articles and their talk pages are rarely edited, but the talks are still very relevant. If you want to save some space, could you please archive the talk pages instead? Thank you. Biophys ( talk) 12:18, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I'm not sure if you are doing this manually or using a bot of some sort, but if its a manual method, you should know that there are probably several hundred of these in the unit articles within the Military History Project. This happened when the project adopted a new naming convention.-- mrg3105 ( comms) ♠♥♦♣ 12:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Re: this. There are still some incoming links to some of the talk page redirects you are deleting. Not many, and not very important ones (many are links to bot-generated lists), but referring to them as "orphaned" is not strictly correct. Also, redirects are cheap. Will deleting 35,000 redirects actually help? Carcharoth ( talk) 12:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I just tried to post a message here laying out irrefutable evidence that you're running an adminbot on this account. Ended up in an edit conflict with mrg3105. Following the thread led me to where you openly state on mrg3105's talk page that you're running a bot on your account to delete pages.
I don't understand. When last I checked, running an unauthorised adminbot on your admin account was about as forbidden as it gets. Grounds for an emergency desysop even. Has the bot policy changed? Have you actually been given permission to run an adminbot on your account?
Hesperian 12:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I frankly don't see what the problem is. I know this is verging dangerously close to rules-lawyering, but if your definition of "unapproved" is "approved by BRFA and RFA", then no, this robot is not approved. That said, there are circumstances under which normally untoward behavior may be acceptable, but only when the full implications are understood and considered carefully. This is exactly what I've done - this bot has been vetted and run by several other admins in the past to the tune of over 130,000 deletions with absolutely no error rate. Considering that removing useless pages is a reasonable thing to do in my eyes, I figured since the job can be done and there's no reasonable process within which to do it (an adminbot policy), I might as well go ahead. I also don't see why running this robot is inherently evil; I have been trusted by the community to use my buttons and I'm making a good use of them - I take full responsibility for my actions and am prepared to face the consequences should something mess up. Lastly, it's not as if I write adminbots with some devious intent to damage Wikipedia - quite the contrary. It's performing a task that I'd do manually anyway with an accuracy most flesh-and-blood administrators would envy.
That said, here's why I'm deleting all these pages: being orphaned, they serve absolutely no internal value, as nobody will ever arrive at it from a link and being how we don't search in the Talk: namespace. They only amount to clutter that is prone to all sorts of foolishness - I recently went through all Image talk: pages and found tons of vandalism; those I passed off to another administrator to delete. More unwanted effects of these pages existing is that they may prevent future pagemoves, and also waste resources in fixing whenever the target changes. Also, since these pages have no history, no discussion ever took place on them at any time.
I welcome whatever other comments you have, provided they don't contains threats of emergency desysopping, something we reserve only for compromised or vandalizing accounts. :-) east.718 at 13:08, April 13, 2008
could you expand on that bit. Sure. This bot was coded by Misza13 (it's open-source and can be grabbed from his toolserver repository), and has been run many times in the past by himself, DerHexer, MZMcBride, myself, and anybody else who does it secretly.
Also, do you check that there are no redirects pointing at the redirects (ie. double redirects)? Yes, I do (redirects are a valid link).
And I still see links pointing to talk page redirects that you have deleted. See here ( User:B/NFL data 4 had a link to Talk:Jack Thompson (American football) that now fails to redirect to Talk:Jack Thompson (American football player). I intentionally did not check for report pages. Most of these will be updated by the WP 1.0 bot very soon, the rest wouldn't be useful anyway - what's there to report on with contentless pages?
Finally, since you are using a bot, why not get the bot to update the pages to the new links, while ignoring pages that transclude {{ Log}}? I am not confident that I'd be able to do this with perfection.
could you provide examples and more details? Sure, MZMcBride was responsible for those deletions.
really? How? Whenever the target is changed and a bot updates the redirect, it destroys the ability for a non-administrator to move over that page, now that the redirect now has a history.
I agree with this - you are referring to double redirects, right? Exactly. east.718 at 13:46, April 13, 2008
East, could you please stop the bot as there are enough people objecting now that this needs to be discussed. It should have been discussed beforehand, of course, so please let me know where the discussion is. Thanks. Carcharoth ( talk) 12:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Would you have time to look at this? The consensus there seems to be that the images listed at User:Nilfanion/SVGlist need to be undeleted (even the blue ones, as Commons images may be showing through). The undeletion should also clear the db tags left by Betacommand. I don't personally object to adminbots, but they should be used to reverse admins actions as well.

Just to clear one thing up. Do you realise that some people use "orphaned talk pages" to refer to talk pages where the corresponding article has been deleted? See User:Interiot/Reports/CSD-G8 orphaned talk pages. Wikipedia:Orphan and other definitions refer to lack of incoming links, which is the sense in which you are using it.

Hello - this is the only message I'll send so as to not innundate the editors. A few months ago, I attempted to test my Wikipedia skills by creating entries for two people who I actually happened to know something about. Yes, I've worked with them on their magazine, but I felt that their contributions to the independent film community had some merit. If Wikipedia feels otherwise, then so be it and I appologize in advance. However, a user named Poyoyloar has some vendetta against these two for some reason or another. If you'll direct your attention to his history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Poyoyloar
His first appearance on Wikipedia was April 6 and his sole contributions to the site seems to be in attacking the two articles I created. Now, whether Wikipedia decides to delete these entries or not, again, I'll stand by the decision. But I've grown weary of his attacks and felt that it should come to the attention of the Wikipedia editors. The evidence is plain. If he wants to accuse me of "sockpuppetry" or whatever, there is nothing I can do to prove that I am not Mike Watt, Amy Lynn Best or Dwaltzwriter. I am, as I admitted, acquaintances of theirs, so if that is an offense, then, again, I apologize.
Thank you for your time. ArchieHall ( talk) 11:26, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

I want a Josiah Leming page.
I was aware that a while back that it was up for discussion, but since the page was available whenever I checked, I thought that the discussion had ended in favor of having a Josiah Leming page. I attended a week long conference away from the internet and find I missed the discussion during that time frame. If I could have been allowed to participate, I would have strongly favored keeping a Josiah Leming page.
A dedicated Josiah Leming page was useful to me and represented what I liked about Wikipedia, which was popular, current, and hot topics that are in a process of change so that it is worth my time to check the Wikipedia page from time to time. Historical and demographic information that is fairly static is easy enough to find from other sources. If I have to dig through another page to find information about Josiah Leming then that also defeats the purpose of Wikipedia being quick and easy to use versus another source. Without a page like a Josiah Leming page being available, Wikipedia is too much like the competition and frankly is not much use to me.
Watching someone who has great potential launch a career with a fascinating background story, this is the point in the time of someone’s life that I find most interesting, compared to years later when I have heard the same facts over and over again. Also he is someone young who has experienced more than average several lifetimes. He also was a very controversial cut on the most popular television show currently. I find him to be fascinating and notable. He has that “it factor”.
Glancing at the list of other topics that are still waiting to be included, I am wondering if there is a snob factor toward popular culture or at the very least, a gap between the decision makers who decide what is notable versus other segments of the population. I do wish that the decision makers at Wikipedia had a wider understanding of what different groups in the population find to be notable.
I do comprehend that Wikipedia is overwhelmed with requests for topics, but I have little interest in most of the other pages offered by Wikipedia. Frankly, I am enough of a data geek that I don’t really need Wikipedia to find information. Wikipedia was mostly a nice starter page to move on to more detailed sites or in the case of Josiah Leming, a nice page to find quick and timely information that was also abbreviated enough that I found comfortable enough to refer to other people.
I understand that you were following policy, specifically deletion policy. I have a master’s degree in public policy and years of government experience dealing with policies. However, I have policies of my own and I will maintain a personal policy of boycotting all other Wikipedia pages until a Josiah Leming page exists again.
If Josiah Leming is not notable enough for Wikipedia policies, then Wikipedia is not notable enough for me to use. By having policies that excludes a page such as Josiah Leming, then I am obviously not the intended audience for the current Wikipedia anyway. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soapbox0916 ( talk • contribs) 21:48, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Dear East718:
All has been quiet in SockPuppet land on the Injection Lipolysis wiki . . . . until recently.
I have a COI, so I should/will not remove the recent anonymous (IP address only) edit to the wiki. That said, the recent edit is clearly biased, so in the event you were still watching the wiki, I thought I would point it out.
The previously rampant SockPuppetry on that wiki has largely subsided because the two organizations that were responsible went out of business. But some stragglers remain.
Thanks!

Hello East718! :) In December last year, the page for the Kingston Canadian Film Festival was proposed for deletion. You deleted it after five days, as was expected. I feel someone should have contested it because only last month the festival held its 8th annual celebration as the biggest festival for Canadian-only films. I was disappointed to not find it listed here and I would appreciate knowing the reasons why it was deleted. If the reasons were content related, would it be possible to restore the page so that I might try and improve the article? I can easily find reputable websites referencing the festival.

I'm not sure if you are doing this manually or using a bot of some sort, but if its a manual method, you should know that there are probably several hundred of these in the unit articles within the Military History Project.

Re: this. There are still some incoming links to some of the talk page redirects you are deleting. Not many, and not very important ones (many are links to bot-generated lists), but referring to them as "orphaned" is not strictly correct. Also, redirects are cheap. Will deleting 35,000 redirects actually help? Carcharoth ( talk) 12:47, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I just tried to post a message here laying out irrefutable evidence that you're running an adminbot on this account. Ended up in an edit conflict with mrg3105. Following the thread led me to where you openly state on mrg3105's talk page that you're running a bot on your account to delete pages.
I don't understand. When last I checked, running an unauthorised adminbot on your admin account was about as forbidden as it gets. Grounds for an emergency desysop even. Has the bot policy changed? Have you actually been given permission to run an adminbot on your account?
Hesperian 12:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
I frankly don't see what the problem is. I know this is verging dangerously close to rules-lawyering, but if your definition of "unapproved" is "approved by BRFA and RFA", then no, this robot is not approved. That said, there are circumstances under which normally untoward behavior may be acceptable, but only when the full implications are understood and considered carefully. This is exactly what I've done - this bot has been vetted and run by several other admins in the past to the tune of over 130,000 deletions with absolutely no error rate. Considering that removing useless pages is a reasonable thing to do in my eyes, I figured since the job can be done and there's no reasonable process within which to do it (an adminbot policy), I might as well go ahead. I also don't see why running this robot is inherently evil; I have been trusted by the community to use my buttons and I'm making a good use of them - I take full responsibility for my actions and am prepared to face the consequences should something mess up. Lastly, it's not as if I write adminbots with some devious intent to damage Wikipedia - quite the contrary. It's performing a task that I'd do manually anyway with an accuracy most flesh-and-blood administrators would envy.
That said, here's why I'm deleting all these pages: being orphaned, they serve absolutely no internal value, as nobody will ever arrive at it from a link and being how we don't search in the Talk: namespace. They only amount to clutter that is prone to all sorts of foolishness - I recently went through all Image talk: pages and found tons of vandalism; those I passed off to another administrator to delete. More unwanted effects of these pages existing is that they may prevent future pagemoves, and also waste resources in fixing whenever the target changes. Also, since these pages have no history, no discussion ever took place on them at any time.
I welcome whatever other comments you have, provided they don't contains threats of emergency desysopping, something we reserve only for compromised or vandalizing accounts. :-) east.718 at 13:08, April 13, 2008
could you expand on that bit. Sure. This bot was coded by Misza13 (it's open-source and can be grabbed from his toolserver repository), and has been run many times in the past by himself, DerHexer, MZMcBride, myself, and anybody else who does it secretly.
Also, do you check that there are no redirects pointing at the redirects (ie. double redirects)? Yes, I do (redirects are a valid link).
And I still see links pointing to talk page redirects that you have deleted. See here ( User:B/NFL data 4 had a link to Talk:Jack Thompson (American football) that now fails to redirect to Talk:Jack Thompson (American football player). I intentionally did not check for report pages. Most of these will be updated by the WP 1.0 bot very soon, the rest wouldn't be useful anyway - what's there to report on with contentless pages?
Finally, since you are using a bot, why not get the bot to update the pages to the new links, while ignoring pages that transclude {{ Log}}? I am not confident that I'd be able to do this with perfection.
could you provide examples and more details? Sure, MZMcBride was responsible for those deletions.
really? How? Whenever the target is changed and a bot updates the redirect, it destroys the ability for a non-administrator to move over that page, now that the redirect now has a history.
I agree with this - you are referring to double redirects, right? Exactly. east.718 at 13:46, April 13, 2008
East, could you please stop the bot as there are enough people objecting now that this needs to be discussed. It should have been discussed beforehand, of course, so please let me know where the discussion is. Thanks. Carcharoth ( talk) 12:55, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Would you have time to look at this? The consensus there seems to be that the images listed at User:Nilfanion/SVGlist need to be undeleted (even the blue ones, as Commons images may be showing through). The undeletion should also clear the db tags left by Betacommand. I don't personally object to adminbots, but they should be used to reverse admins actions as well. Carcharoth ( talk) 13:05, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to clear one thing up. Do you realise that some people use "orphaned talk pages" to refer to talk pages where the corresponding article has been deleted? See User:Interiot/Reports/CSD-G8 orphaned talk pages. Wikipedia:Orphan and other definitions refer to lack of incoming links, which is the sense in which you are using it.

Hello - this is the only message I'll send so as to not innundate the editors. A few months ago, I attempted to test my Wikipedia skills by creating entries for two people who I actually happened to know something about. Yes, I've worked with them on their magazine, but I felt that their contributions to the independent film community had some merit. If Wikipedia feels otherwise, then so be it and I appologize in advance. However, a user named Poyoyloar has some vendetta against these two for some reason or another. If you'll direct your attention to his history:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Poyoyloar
His first appearance on Wikipedia was April 6 and his sole contributions to the site seems to be in attacking the two articles I created. Now, whether Wikipedia decides to delete these entries or not, again, I'll stand by the decision. But I've grown weary of his attacks and felt that it should come to the attention of the Wikipedia editors. The evidence is plain. If he wants to accuse me of "sockpuppetry" or whatever, there is nothing I can do to prove that I am not Mike Watt, Amy Lynn Best or Dwaltzwriter. I am, as I admitted, acquaintances of theirs, so if that is an offense, then, again, I apologize.

Back in November, you deleted the article Psychopath (film) -- which concered an movie currently in production by John Carpenter. This is verifiable at the IMDB. Why did you delete the article? -- Jason Palpatine ( talk) 14:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I didn't sock. I've already provided a number of users the evidence which clears me. I'm more than willing to email you if you want that evidence. JoshuaZ ( talk) 17:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
I knew that pages could be protected from moves, but protection to allow only bureaucrats to move a page, now that's something I've never seen before! —

Nice edit summary! [6] Gave me a good chuckle. -- Flyguy649 talk 21:25, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Can I assist on this for you guys ? Pedro : Chat 20:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I am writing to see why the list of zombie theme songs and bands was proposed to be deleted? The information was all legit. I'd be happy to do any edits that are needed. Thanks - Inkblotto ( talk) 23:25, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I saw it was you, who deleted Image:Barber cross.jpg. Can you please tell me, from its deleted description page, was there any information about the offwiki source / author of the picture, anything that justifies the choice of the license. It seems that this data has gone lost during the transfer to Commons. Thank you in advance. :) -- Spiritia ( talk) 14:14, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Please check images on Commons before deleting copies here. The bots that do much of the transfering and "checking" (too often without a user bothering to look at the work) are idiots, and mangled misinformation is unfortunately frequent. I strongly urge you to check and if necessary fix the copies on Commons before deleting the local copy. Thanks, -- Infrogmation ( talk) 14:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
You didn't provide a source. -- Geniac ( talk) 05:04, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for supporting my recent request for adminship which was successful with 89 supports, 0 opposes, and 2 neutrals. Unfortunately all I can offer is this lame text thanks rather than some fancy-smancy thank-you spam template thingy. I was very pleased to receive such strong support and to hear so many nice comments from editors whom I respect. I’ll do my best with the tools, and if you ever see me going astray don’t hesitate to drop a note on my talk page. Thanks again for your support!-- Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 03:36, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
It was my understanding that Sandboxes could be used to assist a user in keeping track of things to do, and monitoring possible bad faith contributions was what I was doing. The note at the top of the page was clear that it did not mean any listed individual was for sure doing that, and the stick in butt comment was actually a joking self-reference to myself if you read it clearer. If the sandbox is still inappropriate after knowing that, I'll acknowledge that. Hooper ( talk) 21:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi East718. User:Tachyonbursts who you recently indef blocked for making legal threats has withdrawn the threat. I am proposing that we unblock this account, but keep a careful eye on it, since I suspect it may be a sockpuppet account - though I can't identify a specific likely puppetmaster. I'd like to get your input as the blocking admin before I take action. Thanks, Gwernol 23:51, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Image:Syriana.jpg. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Chimeric Glider ( talk) 18:08, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello - up above your comments, NYB asked that no one make reference to the events that led to his departure. Your comments aren't exactly explicit, but I think coming at the top they may encourage folks to make similar comments. Would you reconsider refactoring it a bit? Avruch T 14:40, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
This user, whom you blocked indefinitely a while back for spamming, is requesting unblock and claiming you have a conflict of interest in blocking him. I'm letting you so you can respond on his page. Daniel Case ( talk) 14:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
FisherQueen beat me to it, however I left some notes under the decline. Good block, obviously sneaky spamming with a COI.-- Hu12 ( talk) 15:29, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi! You deleted the Twinkle gadget, but the removal by Ral315 was overruled as consensus exists it should not have been removed in the first place. [11] Would you mind reversing your deletion? The gadget has already been restored to the Gadget mediawiki page. Lawrence Cohen § t/ e 20:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Oh, and I never even saw this gadget thing before this. Kinda cool... Lawrence Cohen § t/ e 21:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
