Hi, there is an issue with vandalism of the iPod touch article regarding the 3.0 release. Your help would be appreciated. Photographerguy ( talk) 02:42, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Now that the offending user Ethanpilot787 has been blocked I think it would be safe to unprotect the iPod touch article. Photographerguy ( talk) 20:41, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
Oh yeah, you're right.... Photographerguy ( talk) 21:26, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

I recently added an iPhone OS section to the Mac OS X article. AlistairMcMillan reverted the change and told me not to copy and paste from article to article (here is the diff http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Mac_OS_X&curid=20640&diff=268152965&oldid=268142457). Is this official wikipedia policy? And (if you're interested) what is you're opinion about including an iPhone OS section in the Mac OS X article? (see talk: Mac OS X. Thanks.

Hi, Islander, how are you? I was wondering about why you requested to delete an article I just wrote, about the musician, "Strange Flow," because of the significance. It's significant, I think, because it reflects breakcore as a musical genre going in new directions, and shows how modern music styles are blending together in new and sometimes unpredictable ways. I saw that I have to have references, but it's hard to reference a newspaper article or magazine clipping becuase alot of these newer breakcore musicians and producers don't have much written on them unless tens of millions of people know about them. When he made music under the moniker Static Quo, there was an impact on some of the scene, but no wiki page. Randomatik Blast or oxygenfad or two other notable figures of the scene, but don't get much recognition, despite tens of thousands of people loving their music. I don't understand what I have to prove about Strange Flow or anyone else I want to write about beyond what I've just mentioned. Should I just mention on the site the things I just mentioned to you just now? Will00000001 ( talk) 22:59, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
Well, I am the next person in the queue to suffer from your random page deletion. Your reason was simply inadequate; Barack Paper Scissors is THE game to play on YouTube and why the hell should it not have an article is beyond me. Thousands of people play it, it's the one thing I looked up in Wikipedia expecting an article, and many other people will, upset it wasn't there.
To be honest, thanks these ridiculous 'nothing about internet' rules, there is just no new page to make. Totally horrible, totally random. Littlelaurence ( talk) 07:33, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
A few days ago, you deleted the topic PNO Consultants, a leading consultancy bureau in the Netherlands, and a significant player in consultancy in 13 European countries. I have observed the Wikipedia policy on the significance of organizations and people, and find PNO Consultants certainly significant enough to deserve mention.
You may observe that their website claims that they are "Europe's leading grants & subsidy consultancy group". While this may be difficult to demonstrate, Wikipedia's policy A7 states: "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source."
I haven't actively looked for evidence that the company is indeed the leading subsidy consultancy group, but provided policy A7, the statement on their website suffices. I think the deletion was uncounted for, and failed to acknowledge the Wikipedia policy. I'm eager to hear your opinion. — Stimpy talk 20:25, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
I reverted that IP on God the Father, but forgot to revert on Reading school. And they were both vandalism, so I stated that. Is there a big deal therein? History2007 ( talk) 14:41, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Excuse me, but Wikipedia does have permission to use the information as I am the author of it. I cited Disney Reporter as the source of the information, and that is my website. Is there any form I need to fill out verifying this to have these informative facts displayed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Travelsoccerkid1 ( talk • contribs) 13:33, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Hey, it's been a while since I've edited here and I dont know how you upload an image. The image is here [2] and I dont know WHERE the upload image button is. I managed to find insert photo gallery button but thats all. Could you please put this image on the Lister Cars page or tell me how to upload images here. Thanks.

I'm not sure how you intended this to sound, but this edit summary at Lizo Mzimba seems to me to be a quite insulting comment about another contributor. What were you trying to say? Tim Vickers ( talk) 17:39, 18 April 2009 (UTC)
Blunt is not the word! this was in truth a disgraceful example of insulting rudeness, wiki bullying and intimidation that requires an apology. One comes to expect this type of repulsive and aggressive behaviour from certain unpleasant POV fanatics on wiki but not from a so-called admin. This type of behaviour not only intimidates and angers innocent, good-faith editors, but also scares them off and drives them away to safer articles and havens of peace elsewhere in wiki -- such as they even exist. Is that what you want to happen? You sir are a bully and should be stripped of your adminship, which you clearly do not deserve. Admins should be beacons of excellent & civil behaviour who show through example to others that wikipedia is a decent place where folks can edit in peace without fear of bullies like you. No possible excuse for this type of behaviour is acceptable. Go and sort your head out and learn the sublte arts of diplomacy and the social skills required for collaborative editing. As an ambassador of polite wikipedia adminship you are a disgrace. Your insulting behaviour should be reported to and scrutinised by your fellow admins. Peter morrell 07:36, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. I am monitoring WP:SPI/BOT. Does Kieran85 ( talk · contribs) look familiar? I noticed you've blocked several socks of KieranT676 ( talk · contribs). Thanks. Wknight94 talk 12:16, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
I suggest you track the history of the bullying abuse this administrator has left for me before leaving comments on my page. But alas, he has some how deleted all his comments, by deleting my user talk page. I am leaving the wiki project permanently, so a block is a waste of time. But doubtless this will earn it. It's easier for you than researching what an administrator is actually doing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.201.16.217 ( talk) 11:28, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
You have email -- Avi ( talk) 18:16, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Sorry for butting into another conversation but you have another email Nenslo ( talk) 14:31, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Sorry if this isn't the right place to post a comment on your page, but I have a problem with when you said I was creating adverts on the page Stealth (roller coaster). Just to let you know, I wasn't creating adverts, I was saying the company that sponsors the roller coaster. Again, sorry if this is the wrong place to comment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.34.173.149 ( talk) 19:11, 2 June 2009
Hi Islander, I've sent you an email about this already but I thought I would drop you a message here too, just in case. I've done some updates to the article, let me know what you think. Nenslo ( talk) 15:15, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
