Hello, this is a message from
an automated bot. A tag has been placed on
Image:Louis Daguerre.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be
speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because
Image:Louis Daguerre.jpg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting
Image:Louis Daguerre.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.

I've resubmitted the information on the SS Delphine under the section of multiple expansion where I feel it contributes significantly to the page. Horace Dodge was pioneering in 1920 by adding another stage of compression - and it is therefore of interest to many people who are researching the subject. Please consider before removing this contribution again. Mechanical Misfit 18:15, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Hey Lar, could you comment on this discussion? pov_tag. Leaving aside the aggressive (and a bit funny :) tone of PhJ, could you give some advice of what we are going to do with this POV tag? We are asking the editor who placed the tag, or anyone for that matter, to explain why the new title isn't the most neutral. Instead a warning not to remove the tag is given, but again no explanation. I don't need to remove the tag myself, but I'm not sure what this editor expects to do to whoever removes it. o_O Anyway, at least it isn't a daily request for help on this page now, but it is good to get your experienced-admin say on these matters.

Hi, thanks for the terrific article on the Croton Dam and congrats on getting it listed as a DYK. I passed the dam just last week for the first time in a couple of decades and realized what a beauty it is (as dams go), so I was glad to help a tiny bit with copy edits. Thanks too for the suggestion about putting my image on the Commons (have done so), and definitely check out the Gilmore — I was hugely impressed with the diversity and quality of their collections as well as the extensive thought and work they put into making the exhibits. Best wishes to your newly-minted Spartan! Kevin Forsyth 18:48, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Lar, once upon a time I remember coming across a guideline statment that product articles normally shouldn't include current pricing information, as it isn't encyclopedic and is subject to change with time. I'm trying to keep the vandalism and nn additions over at Halo 3 kept down to a dull roar (had to block one user for violating the 19RR policy!), and someone had posted a table projecting product pricing (unsourced of course). I know it could be pulled on WP:V grounds, but I'd really like to be able to cite a more definitive reason...so, can you remember if/where there's such guidance as my brain can't seem to remember. Thanks! AKRadecki Speaketh 20:06, 12 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Lar I'm writing for asking some information of a beautiful picture you made: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Croton_dam_Brian.H_Flickr_102843790_9ae9b1a96d_o.jpg so what camera did you use? what time was it? it`s really an amazing photo, great colors. thanks see u later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Punkmati ( talk • contribs) 21:04, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello again, Lar. A newbie using only an IP address insists on inserting material in the Whirlpool Corporation article which is controversial in nature without including a verifiable citation.

Hi. A couple of days ago you ran a checkuser on User:AlexCovarrubias and User:Supaman89 concluding that they were "possibly" related. AlexCovarrubias has emailed me denying any connection and would like for you to publish the IP addresses he has used (waiving his right to privacy) along with Supaman89's (who he claims has also given permission - I'm not sure where, though) in order to allow him to "prove his innocence". I'm aware that checkusers are not done on a user at their own request, however I'm not sure if there is a policy regarding publishing full results at the user's request. If you are able to verify both users' permissions, would you be willing to publish and explain the full results? Thanks for your time. -- Tango 12:43, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Blnguyen... Which one? Henriks??? I'm about to go to bed and there is nothing worse than messing up someone else's monobook, leaving things broken, and then going away so they can't ask you to fix it back :) Note that all I had to add to my monobook was
//********************* // Henrik's DYK notifier helper importScript('User:Henrik/js/dyk-notifier.js');
You can see it, it's at the very bottom of my monobook. The other stuff at the top is for single functions in my custom tabs, don't do that unless you want that functionality too. If it doesn't work, I highly recommend just using the console in FireFox, clearing errors, and watching it as you do things to see what it is complaining about. ++ Lar: t/ c 04:10, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I am respond here regarding this Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/216.83.121.194.
All of those related socks have been rounded up here: Category:Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_216.83.121.194 (I did not create this category). Would it be better to use one of the usernames to group all these related socks together or should I use this IP address instead which seems to have the oldest entry in wikipedia among this sock?
The reason I ask is because this specific vandal/sock seems to have moved on to the new IP User:68.44.84.185 so I don't know if using a "name" or using the original ip address (216.83.121.194) would be better. Any thoughts on that? Strongsauce 13:51, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Greetings.
There is a problem in Brazil’s page.
Two groups are debating over the use of a certain picture in the article, each group having their own valid claims as for why the picture should be included or not included. So far so good.
The problem started when users AlexCovarrubias, Opinoso and Supaman89 resorted to calling people that didn’t agree with them “racists”, “white-rich” Brazilians and a number of other similar names. I take great offence at being called a “racist” simply because I disagreed with someone. We have a case of at least three rules being violated: Wikipedia:Etiquette, Wikipedia:Assume good faith and Wikipedia:no personal attacks. The insults have been directed towards everyone that hasn’t agreed with them, effectively ruining the possibility of a civil debate. Thus, I believe an administrator needs to take it from here.
Unsurprisingly, many of the users responsible for the insults have been blocked several times in the past.
I have already contacted other administrators and I’m currently awaiting their response, but I’m also contacting you because I’ve noticed you are familiar with some of the users involved in this discussion.
We need help.
Thanks in advance.
