Hi. My auto-block has expired, and I'm catching up on a few bits and pieces before I reset it. Thank you very much for having reviewed the article
Ralph Regenvanu. I'm not sure where I'd be able to find an image of Mr. Regenvanu... There are pictures of him in the media, but of course they're copyrighted. Likewise, the
only two pictures of him on Flickr are copyrighted. If the article could do with pictures, I'll add one of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre. There's a CC-BY one on Flickr.
Regarding an infobox... Just to be sure, what kind of infobox should be used? If there's a general infobox for Members of Parliament, I can't seem to find it.

Just notifying you of this comment I made, please be specific with your rationales when reporting users. Not a big deal at all, but trust me, a small mistake like that can escalate into something bigger. For example, an admin being hasty and blocking a user with continuous vandalism on say, two articles, when they have not violated the final warning rule. That would lead to a whole controversy, which is the one thing that stinks about this project. :) Best, ceran thor 12:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I want to know why you keep reverting my changes to the Marvin Gaye article. His birth name was in fact Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., without the E. I attempted to change the article twice, and the second time I even listed an alternate source, and you still reverted it. What gives? Is it better to be inaccurate than to be accused of homophobia for listing someone's real legal name? It says right in the article itself that he added the E because of connotations that the word "gay" was developing during that time. Also, the sidebar lists his birth name as having no E at the end of the surname. It has the same citation as it does in the first line of the article, and yet you revert it. Why? I really don't understand. I've had a problem with Wikipedia employees reverting my changes before, due to what seems to be an abuse of power. I thought the point of us being able to edit this site was so that we could correct inaccuracies? I know for a fact that this article was correct at one point. Some fan probably added the E because they thought someone had previously removed it as an immature joke. But I can assure you that his birth name was Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. His father's name was Marvin Pentz Gay, Sr. I have an alternate source as well. It is the same one I listed in my edit summary, which you seem to have ignored before: http://www.nndb.com/people/207/000022141/. Please don't just revert a change without looking at the facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.124.136.213 ( talk • contribs)

Hi there Javert :). How things going? A while ago you expressed some interest in archiving WP:RFPERM pages. As DustyBot has been inactive, I've created a semi-automated tool to help with archiving the requests. If you'd like to have a go with it, send me an email (I'll need your email address, as Wikipedia doesn't let me attach files). If DustyBot doesn't come back, I may create a fully automated bot to archive the requests. If it does come back, this tool could still be useful, as DustyBot doesn't archive Autoreviwer and NPWatcher requests. If you no longer have an interest in archiving, then that's fine, just let me know. By the way, I only created the tool today, so it isn't by any means perfect.

Depending on when you installed the tool, you were only presented with a specific subset of the features we have developed. We are ready to roll out the full feature set which, we expect, will make the gadget significantly more useful.

Thank you for commenting on my talk page. While I agree that Wikipedia should remain "not censored", I believe images of child pornography should not be tolerated on individuals user pages. Zhebius ( talk) 03:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi. My auto-block has expired, and I'm catching up on a few bits and pieces before I reset it. Thank you very much for having reviewed the article
Ralph Regenvanu. I'm not sure where I'd be able to find an image of Mr. Regenvanu... There are pictures of him in the media, but of course they're copyrighted. Likewise, the
only two pictures of him on Flickr are copyrighted. If the article could do with pictures, I'll add one of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre. There's a CC-BY one on Flickr.
Regarding an infobox... Just to be sure, what kind of infobox should be used? If there's a general infobox for Members of Parliament, I can't seem to find it.

Just notifying you of this comment I made, please be specific with your rationales when reporting users. Not a big deal at all, but trust me, a small mistake like that can escalate into something bigger. For example, an admin being hasty and blocking a user with continuous vandalism on say, two articles, when they have not violated the final warning rule. That would lead to a whole controversy, which is the one thing that stinks about this project. :) Best, ceran thor 12:24, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi, sorry if this is in the wrong place, but I want to know why you keep reverting my changes to the Marvin Gaye article. His birth name was in fact Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr., without the E. I attempted to change the article twice, and the second time I even listed an alternate source, and you still reverted it. What gives? Is it better to be inaccurate than to be accused of homophobia for listing someone's real legal name? It says right in the article itself that he added the E because of connotations that the word "gay" was developing during that time. Also, the sidebar lists his birth name as having no E at the end of the surname. It has the same citation as it does in the first line of the article, and yet you revert it. Why? I really don't understand. I've had a problem with Wikipedia employees reverting my changes before, due to what seems to be an abuse of power. I thought the point of us being able to edit this site was so that we could correct inaccuracies? I know for a fact that this article was correct at one point. Some fan probably added the E because they thought someone had previously removed it as an immature joke. But I can assure you that his birth name was Marvin Pentz Gay, Jr. His father's name was Marvin Pentz Gay, Sr. I have an alternate source as well. It is the same one I listed in my edit summary, which you seem to have ignored before: http://www.nndb.com/people/207/000022141/. Please don't just revert a change without looking at the facts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.124.136.213 ( talk • contribs)

Hey Javert. After some thought, I have decided to graduate you from my adoption program. To be honest, I was hesitant to accept your request to be adopted back in June because I believed you already had plenty of experience, but I decided to help you out anyway. Explains the low amount of lessons, doesn't it? :) You may now add the following userbox to your userpage:

With fast-moving RfAs, it's sometimes hard to keep a track of things, so I just thought I'd point out someone raised a question (which I assume was directed at your !vote) in this section. I only just noticed it about 10 hours after the event. Don't know whether it has any bearing. :) – B.hotep • talk• 14:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Any idea what I should do with this article (or better still do it for me)? I have a feeling it's just copied from the back-cover of the book. I know it's not your area of speciality, sorry.

Hi there Javert :). How things going? A while ago you expressed some interest in archiving WP:RFPERM pages. As DustyBot has been inactive, I've created a semi-automated tool to help with archiving the requests. If you'd like to have a go with it, send me an email (I'll need your email address, as Wikipedia doesn't let me attach files). If DustyBot doesn't come back, I may create a fully automated bot to archive the requests. If it does come back, this tool could still be useful, as DustyBot doesn't archive Autoreviwer and NPWatcher requests. If you no longer have an interest in archiving, then that's fine, just let me know. By the way, I only created the tool today, so it isn't by any means perfect. Best, - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 23:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
I can't thank you enough! There are times I simply feel I'm wasting my time trying to parry off the nonsense which seems to make up the vast majority of new entries...and then something like this comes along. Thank you so much and it is GREAT to have you back. Owe ya an e-mail re. my brother's Star Trek collection, BTW. :) Humbly, -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 05:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
On its way. I'll give you an alternate e-mail to respond to instead of the one I have listed here. -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 05:30, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Nope, there's no need. As the format need should be demonstrated on the page in a commented section. I'll check all the pages to see if they have this. Also, I've replied to your email (in a coupla seconds). - Kingpin 13 ( talk) 12:08, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for helping me and my colleagues test the NICE interface modification. Depending on when you installed the tool, you were only presented with a specific subset of the features we have developed. We are ready to roll out the full feature set which, we expect, will make the gadget significantly more useful. Before we do that, we'd like you to answer a few questions about your activity in Wikipedia as it relates to undoing other's edits and what you thought of the NICE features you were shown.
The survey will ask for your Wikipedia username, but you can participate anonymously if you choose. To do so, send me an email with an address I can respond to and I will have the survey software respond with an anonymous token for you to continue. -- E poch F ail ( talk| contribs) 17:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for commenting on my talk page. While I agree that Wikipedia should remain "not censored", I believe images of child pornography should not be tolerated on individuals user pages. Zhebius ( talk) 03:58, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I disagree. I think the image is clearly one of a naked child. To err on the side of caution would probably be prudent in this case. Zhebius ( talk) 04:03, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
