Hi, just to let you know, IMDB is not considered a reliable source of information and simply copying information from IMDB (e.g. the cast list) is not within Wikipedia guidelines (See WP:ISNOT).
Imagine, any one can create an IMDB entry, therefor if someone wanted thier home move to be included in WP all they would have to do is create the IMDB entry and then cite it in Wikipidia. If you can expand the information in the article then it is worth doing, else the article is unlikely to be accepted. Happy editing. -- triwbe ( talk) 05:52, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Remember the Dot. I don't know if you're an admin on the Spanish Wikipedia, but any help would be appreciated, and you are a well known and valuable community member. I found you at commons as an administrator that speaks both English and Spanish. I am experiencing a high amount of frustration: I keep on removing a proposed deletion for an article, and the administrators keep on reverting it and warning me. But the whole point of a proposed deletion is that it's not supposed to be restored; the template specifically says so on the Spanish Wikipedia. Please do not leave me in the dark on this; I have been routinely ignored and treated poorly by the Spanish administrators: you can see the discussion at [2]. Something stinks to the high heavens about the whole situation. I am afraid I'm about to get blocked. Magog the Ogre ( talk) 00:18, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

I don't know if you've read all of the user's talk page, but it's final warning after final warning.

Hi friend, this is regarding the recent page move. I just wanted to bring to you attention a couple of issues regarding the new title. If you go through The Kilgour Matas Reports , what they point out there is that the Chinese government's policy of persecution and incitement to hatred has resulted in such atrocities - which in a minority of cases can even happen without awareness of the "government" itself - despite the fact that the cause lies in the Chinese government's policy of persecution. It's a bit of an extrapolation to say in the title "organ harvesting by the chinese government." I don't think we should make such an extrapolation in the namespace itself. I am sure you could better understand what am trying to get across if you could spend some time, as you would find convenient, to research deeper into the subject matter. We can work on any shortcomings you might have perceived the current namespace as having, but for now, am taking the liberty to assume that I have your kind permission to re-wind back to the pre-existing namespace.

According to the Château de Bonaguil article page, you(?) are proposing to delete the above image. I confess to being rather unaware of the whole image copyright etc issue, but I can say that the source of the picture is the same as File:Chateau.Bonaguil.png image. Both are from the same work by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and considerably older than the normal time period following the death of the author that would place them in the public domain. Is it possible to use the attribution/rationale from one for the other? Emeraude ( talk) 15:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
There is a clear consensus on the talk page of this article that an article for this subject is not currently necessary due to several concerns documented on the page that have not been addressed. A review of an old afd decision for a 2006 version of the article is not revelant, the current article was not deleted it was merged by consensus into the parent article, i consider using such a method to attempt to gain a consensus seperate from the one already established on the talk page, without notifying any of the editors involved, ignoring both the clear guidelines at WP:MUSIC and the reasons why the page was merged to be highly inappropriate behaviour and borders on gaming the system. All of the points brought up at the drv have already been discussed at length. If you wish to add sourced info about this person, it can easily be added to the members section in main article which is in need of expansion and use the talk page to discuss the need for a seperate article as other editors have done. I think you can agree that this is the best way to proceed according to all guidelines and precedents. --neon white talk 15:59, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

You might want to check with the discussion at the current template, as the various wikiprojects NBA, NHL etc recently went through a very long process of merging their individual season templates into one big flexible template (which is the one you just replaced). When you are going to make sweeping changes like this you should check with the relevant wikiprojects as a courtesy because it took many weeks to settle on the standard that was being used. - Djsasso ( talk) 11:24, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I hope this isn't some campaign to get rid of all OMC maps. I worked hard on them, and their site does say that the mapping tools are free (GFDL). Anyway, I have now given that map the same licence that I have used for numerous other OMC maps, which nobody ever challenges, and I hope that will be good enough.

I have an issue with this bot. There is no problem with it updating statistics, but it is making a lot of changes that are contrary to MOS and contrary to precedent.

Just a heads-up that OgreBot seems to have undone the disambiguations on Carlos Villanueva and Juan Gutiérrez over at 2009 Milwaukee Brewers season (here's the diff it removed them on and the diff I fixed them on, I think those were the only ones it messed up). Not sure how you're handling player name disambiguation but it seems to have missed those two for some reason. BryanG ( talk) 23:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Your edits of File:Age of Consent.png appears to have messed up the colors. The legend used to have RGB colors 9 = (0,51,153), 12 = (0,0,255), 13 = (0,128,255), etc (see version 2009-02-09T05:43:44). You changed the legend to 9 = (15,33,134), 12 = (24,0,252), 13 = (33,103,253), etc. This in itself is no problem (although the previous values were a bit "easier"), but you used a third set to color Mexico. This makes it rather difficult to read the map. Do you think you could correct it?
It's too bad the file isn't vector graphics, but that's a different issue... -- Woseph ( talk) 10:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

In "Consistent life ethic", you reverted to the sentence "This stance is comprehensive in that it refuses to leave out any life issue that affects the sacredness of persons." This is a flat-out false statement. If you feel that correcting it to a true statement would somehow be "soapboxing", you should simply delete it, rather than reverting it to a lie. How you can possibly complain with a straight face that I'm "soapboxing" while reverting to clearly adulatory description is beyond me. Heqwm2 ( talk) 19:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello,
Just a quick heads-up, I noticed you cleared the CorenSearchBot report on the above, finding the source to be GFDL licensed.

Hello...Was that page retitling actually discussed anywhere, or was it a unilateral decision? I ask because it seems like that might be the sort of thing that you mention to someone before you do it. Gladys J Cortez 04:37, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi friend, this is regarding the recent page move. I just wanted to bring to you attention a couple of issues regarding the new title. If you go through The Kilgour Matas Reports , what they point out there is that the Chinese government's policy of persecution and incitement to hatred has resulted in such atrocities - which in a minority of cases can even happen without awareness of the "government" itself - despite the fact that the cause lies in the Chinese government's policy of persecution. It's a bit of an extrapolation to say in the title "organ harvesting by the chinese government." I don't think we should make such an extrapolation in the namespace itself. I am sure you could better understand what am trying to get across if you could spend some time, as you would find convenient, to research deeper into the subject matter. We can work on any shortcomings you might have perceived the current namespace as having, but for now, am taking the liberty to assume that I have your kind permission to re-wind back to the pre-existing namespace.

According to the Château de Bonaguil article page, you(?) are proposing to delete the above image. I confess to being rather unaware of the whole image copyright etc issue, but I can say that the source of the picture is the same as File:Chateau.Bonaguil.png image. Both are from the same work by Eugène Viollet-le-Duc and considerably older than the normal time period following the death of the author that would place them in the public domain. Is it possible to use the attribution/rationale from one for the other? Emeraude ( talk) 15:09, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
There is a clear consensus on the talk page of this article that an article for this subject is not currently necessary due to several concerns documented on the page that have not been addressed. A review of an old afd decision for a 2006 version of the article is not revelant, the current article was not deleted it was merged by consensus into the parent article, i consider using such a method to attempt to gain a consensus seperate from the one already established on the talk page, without notifying any of the editors involved, ignoring both the clear guidelines at WP:MUSIC and the reasons why the page was merged to be highly inappropriate behaviour and borders on gaming the system. All of the points brought up at the drv have already been discussed at length. If you wish to add sourced info about this person, it can easily be added to the members section in main article which is in need of expansion and use the talk page to discuss the need for a seperate article as other editors have done. I think you can agree that this is the best way to proceed according to all guidelines and precedents. --neon white talk 15:59, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, Magog the Ogre! Happy new
Gregorian year. All the best for the new year, both towards you and your family and friends too. I know that I am the only person lonely enough to be running this thing as the new year is ushered in, but meh, what are you going to do.

Special thanks go out to Moreschi, Dougweller and Frank for nominating me, and I will try to take everyone's comments on board. Thanks again for your participation. I am currently concentrating my efforts on the Wikification WikiProject. It's fun! Please visit the project and wikify a few articles to help clear the backlog.

Actually, I have a script that does that. I just copy and paste 5000 revisions at a time, and my script parses out the date and time, which I paste into excel for graphing. I would like to write a script hosted on toolserver that automates this for everyone. I think the graphs are often illuminating.

Hi. I'm undoing your edit flurry; if you'd like to make a case that the infobox flags for management constitute WP:FLAGCRUFT, we at WP:HOCKEY would appreciate you doing it at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ice Hockey/Team pages format, rather than simply going nuts on pages that adhere to a template we've worked on through a recognized WikiProject and come to via consensus. Thanks. VT hawkeye talk to me 04:25, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
I am in agreement with VT hawkeye on this. If the pages are adhering to the template, it's not nice to go on an edit-spree without at least checking for consensus. Just my opinion, perhaps.-- Freshfighter9 ( talk) 12:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

You might want to check with the discussion at the current template, as the various wikiprojects NBA, NHL etc recently went through a very long process of merging their individual season templates into one big flexible template (which is the one you just replaced). When you are going to make sweeping changes like this you should check with the relevant wikiprojects as a courtesy because it took many weeks to settle on the standard that was being used. - Djsasso ( talk) 11:24, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

I hope this isn't some campaign to get rid of all OMC maps. I worked hard on them, and their site does say that the mapping tools are free (GFDL). Anyway, I have now given that map the same licence that I have used for numerous other OMC maps, which nobody ever challenges, and I hope that will be good enough.
The Colombia map was one of my earlier efforts, made when I wasn't fully familiar with licences and suchlike (as if I am now). Kelisi ( talk) 08:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I have an issue with this bot. There is no problem with it updating statistics, but it is making a lot of changes that are contrary to MOS and contrary to precedent. While the use of the bot was minimally discussed and approved at WT:MLB, the formats that it is using are not. Could we address that issue at the aforementioned talk page?

Just a heads-up that OgreBot seems to have undone the disambiguations on Carlos Villanueva and Juan Gutiérrez over at 2009 Milwaukee Brewers season (here's the diff it removed them on and the diff I fixed them on, I think those were the only ones it messed up). Not sure how you're handling player name disambiguation but it seems to have missed those two for some reason. BryanG ( talk) 23:34, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Your edits of File:Age of Consent.png appears to have messed up the colors. The legend used to have RGB colors 9 = (0,51,153), 12 = (0,0,255), 13 = (0,128,255), etc (see version 2009-02-09T05:43:44). You changed the legend to 9 = (15,33,134), 12 = (24,0,252), 13 = (33,103,253), etc. This in itself is no problem (although the previous values were a bit "easier"), but you used a third set to color Mexico. This makes it rather difficult to read the map. Do you think you could correct it?
It's too bad the file isn't vector graphics, but that's a different issue... -- Woseph ( talk) 10:01, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

In "Consistent life ethic", you reverted to the sentence "This stance is comprehensive in that it refuses to leave out any life issue that affects the sacredness of persons." This is a flat-out false statement. If you feel that correcting it to a true statement would somehow be "soapboxing", you should simply delete it, rather than reverting it to a lie. How you can possibly complain with a straight face that I'm "soapboxing" while reverting to clearly adulatory description is beyond me. Heqwm2 ( talk) 19:51, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Hello,
Just a quick heads-up, I noticed you cleared the CorenSearchBot report on the above, finding the source to be GFDL licensed. Unfortunately, since we switched to dual licensing on June 16th, GFDL-only text is no longer legit and cannot be included anymore, it needs to be rewritten.

Gosh, i wrote that article about three years ago. But in any case, i think that the picture was taken as part of the July 4 celebrations at Gettysburg, so were probably taken by a United States Army photographer "in the course of his official duties."

Sorry old chap, not sure what you're trying to achieve here. It is a duplicate of a file on wikicommons; and it is {{ PD-old-50}} - my understanding is that source information is not required for such reproductions of historic images.
I would think it could be deleted immediately, and the wikicommons version used in preference. Cheers Kbthompson ( talk) 18:42, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
