Could you take a look at the Freenode article? The F is being displayed as lower case. Maybe it is my browser, I am not sure. When I click history, it displays the F as capital. When I try to move it, it displays it as capital. Would you know what is causing this? Thanks. Maximillion Pegasus ( talk) 02:29, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
Eh kako si sta ima? Nisam mislio ista napisat dokle nisam procitao da pricas Bosanski. I ja sam rodjen u Bosni - bas u Sarajevo - i zivim u Australiju.

Another question... when I'm on new page patrol, I notice these articles about people. They are not cited, not at all written (e.g. typo is tyop, and That person is... is Pershon tha is), but they include accomplishments. I'm not sure if the person is real or not, but it they are, the person is noteworthy. What should I tag it as? Basketball 110 what famous people say 18:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I figured I'd cross-post this in your talk page too, since you've been involved in the Spore article.
You may need to look at Spore again. There seems to be a minor edit war going on, again. JAF1970 removed all references talking about the Wii version, trimming it down to a single unsourced line where he forgot to remove the "Wiiwii" reference. Sillygostly then merged the Spore Creatures and Spore Mobile articles into the Spore article, which will no doubt be a controversial edit.
There has been no consensus and really no discussion about what direction to take the article in. I'm not sure if it needs outright protection again, but it may need watching by someone wiser than I. KiTA ( talk) 14:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I think he was within his rights to make the revert, but I've warned ForeverFreeSpeech over his use of the word "liar" here. Probably a violation of WP:NPA.
On the other hand, Eleland still hasn't responded to the question of his edits (and why he claimed he was reverting "mass removal of sourced info" in this diff on the talk page, which makes me think ForeverFreeSpeech should be given some leeway. It can't be easy to try to deal with someone who blatantly mischaracterizes an edit summary like that.
I'm also not convinced Eleland's "source" for his "very well known claim" is valid as per WP:RS either (though I'd still prefer the section go to another as seems most likely in the admittedly small 4-person consensus here, then we still have to deal with the sourcing issue on that page).
Also, can you teach me the format for the "this edit should have been signed by"? ForeverFreeSpeech forgot to sign when he posted (see diff).

Hello! I hate to keep coming back to you under these circumstances, but it would appear that we have another Wikipedia user who refuses to accept factual information. Please review the edits for Charmed36, in particular his recent edits to the genres of the Rihanna songs Shut Up and Drive and Unfaithful (song). The user refuses to recognize that those records do have an R&B influence to them (particularly in the instance of Shut Up and Drive, as it picked up a People's Choice Awards win in 2007 for "Best R&B Song") and has removed - several times - an R&B tag from the articles pertaining to those songs. I have explained on his talk page (see #68 - I think - in his index, labeled Shut Up and Drive) why the R&B tags should remain, but I don't believe he accepts the reasoning. Your assistance is much appreciated! Thank you so much. -- InDeBiz1 ( talk) 04:22, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Just so I know since you seem to be knowledgeable; how long should a request for comment usually last? Consensus seems pretty solid though few editors have shown up.
Also, user:Eleland still hasn't responded to the quantitative edit questions I had (one section above the rfc); I'm worried this could blow up again when I move the section to its new home. Any recommended steps to avoid this?

You closed the R. J. Davners AfD as keep, but I fail to see how this person meets either the general WP:BIO or the WP:PORNBIO criteria. The votes to keep don't clarify this situation. The subject of the article voted to keep based on appearing in one issue of a magazine and based on the claim that he stared in the groundbreaking film Grunts. As someone else mentioned in the AfD, the sources provided did not support either that he was a star of the flim or that it was groundbreaking. The other two just stated that he meets the criteria without any details. Could you help me understand what criteria were met and how they were met? BlueAzure ( talk) 19:10, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello,
I got the "spam - speedy deletion" notice when I was editting this page.
And so I put in the discussion page why I added it - but before I could even finish my discussion edit you had deleted it (even though I put the "hold on" tag on the page).
I had also deleted the product refereces out of the main page, since I thought that might be what you didn't like (and they didn't really fit the tone of wikipedia - I was looking to get more content in on my first edit). But I don't think that even made it before your deletion.
Other then the fact that I haven't added many pages of text, this article is at least as relevent as the one on SAS institute or the direct marketing association or other companies that do these complicated backroom analytics to try and target consumers. And I'm sure it would be expanded on in the future (I certainly am trying to find out more, since I know folks are interested. (after reading the really interesting Twin Cities Business article I had linked at the bottom on how these analitics people can figure out everthing about you) - Could you either reinstate the page and allow me to address any problems in discussion or in the main article...or could you tell me what content you require to bring it back...?

Hi, MOP. You are doing a fantastic job with the Wikipedia ads. However, could you please include the images that you used to make the ads, per GFDL? One example is seen here. Also, on this image, you didn't provide a license or image description, which is vital, because as you know there is a period where images are deleted after a certain period of time if they don't have licenses.
Also, Spanish Wikipedia ( see this) is considering having ads on their userpages. If you are interested, you might want to go to #wikipedia-es (don't worry, they speak English in there and don't bite :-P) to ask them. Cheers. miranda 09:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was reviewing the Wikipedia Ads you just put up. Nice work! Just one question though on Image:Qxz-ad124.gif - is that AIM buddy a copyrighted logo? From the looks of it, it looks like an AIM buddy knock-off, but I was just wondering if it still technically violates (C) on AOL's logo. Also, I'm pretty sure you need to cite every image/logo you used for your ads.

Since you were involved in this, I would like to point you to this diff. I am requesting Jersyko modify his actions, as he is only making worse a situation already caused to be bad by a large amount of WP:BITE-style behavior.
I would prefer that the abusing of newbies stop, but this looks like a textbook case; a user being continually pushed and harassed (feeling as if they are being stalked, which appears to be the case from at least one person's series of edits following theirs on multiple pages) who is now being indef-blocked for "POV-Pushing" when the primary people infuriating them appear to be POV-pushers themselves.

Hi, I saw that you helped format the newly added "Quotes" section at Emily Dickinson. Just a note to say that I've removed it and have notified the user who originally added them. This is a newly promoted FA and random, large sections of quotes belong better at Wikiquote, which, since you're an administrator and everything, I hope you agree with.

Dear XXX, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

I absolutely disagree with deleting above stated article PayPay. There was no advertising text and i was just commonly describing a payment system similar to moneybookers or paypal. The text was roughly identic with these 2 articles so there was no reason for deleting that article. If it would be advertising you would have to delete also paypal and moneybookers articles because there is no difference regarding contents at all!! Waiting for reasonable explanation. Thank you

Hi, I figured I'd cross-post this in your talk page too, since you've been involved in the Spore article.
You may need to look at Spore again. There seems to be a minor edit war going on, again. JAF1970 removed all references talking about the Wii version, trimming it down to a single unsourced line where he forgot to remove the "Wiiwii" reference. Sillygostly then merged the Spore Creatures and Spore Mobile articles into the Spore article, which will no doubt be a controversial edit.
There has been no consensus and really no discussion about what direction to take the article in. I'm not sure if it needs outright protection again, but it may need watching by someone wiser than I. KiTA ( talk) 14:09, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I think he was within his rights to make the revert, but I've warned ForeverFreeSpeech over his use of the word "liar" here. Probably a violation of WP:NPA.
On the other hand, Eleland still hasn't responded to the question of his edits (and why he claimed he was reverting "mass removal of sourced info" in this diff on the talk page, which makes me think ForeverFreeSpeech should be given some leeway. It can't be easy to try to deal with someone who blatantly mischaracterizes an edit summary like that.
I'm also not convinced Eleland's "source" for his "very well known claim" is valid as per WP:RS either (though I'd still prefer the section go to another as seems most likely in the admittedly small 4-person consensus here, then we still have to deal with the sourcing issue on that page).
Also, can you teach me the format for the "this edit should have been signed by"? ForeverFreeSpeech forgot to sign when he posted (see diff).

Hello! I hate to keep coming back to you under these circumstances, but it would appear that we have another Wikipedia user who refuses to accept factual information. Please review the edits for Charmed36, in particular his recent edits to the genres of the Rihanna songs Shut Up and Drive and Unfaithful (song). The user refuses to recognize that those records do have an R&B influence to them (particularly in the instance of Shut Up and Drive, as it picked up a People's Choice Awards win in 2007 for "Best R&B Song") and has removed - several times - an R&B tag from the articles pertaining to those songs. I have explained on his talk page (see #68 - I think - in his index, labeled Shut Up and Drive) why the R&B tags should remain, but I don't believe he accepts the reasoning.

Hello,
I got the "spam - speedy deletion" notice when I was editting this page.
And so I put in the discussion page why I added it - but before I could even finish my discussion edit you had deleted it (even though I put the "hold on" tag on the page).
I had also deleted the product refereces out of the main page, since I thought that might be what you didn't like (and they didn't really fit the tone of wikipedia - I was looking to get more content in on my first edit). But I don't think that even made it before your deletion.
Other then the fact that I haven't added many pages of text, this article is at least as relevent as the one on SAS institute or the direct marketing association or other companies that do these complicated backroom analytics to try and target consumers. And I'm sure it would be expanded on in the future (I certainly am trying to find out more, since I know folks are interested. (after reading the really interesting Twin Cities Business article I had linked at the bottom on how these analitics people can figure out everthing about you) - Could you either reinstate the page and allow me to address any problems in discussion or in the main article...or could you tell me what content you require to bring it back...?
Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dranalyst ( talk • contribs) 06:19, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
MoP! Hi there :) I was wondering if you could help me with the page I created. The artist has gotten international exposure, being on both the front pages of youtube.com and google.com in the same vein as Esmee Denters, and soulja boy. What did I forget to add? Thanks! :)

Could you do me a favor and fix the cut and paste move of Peter Maivia Jr to Peter Maivia, Jr.?

Thats ok, it was added as part of a WP:ERRORS request. I agree that the wording was not strong but a FARC commander makes it sound like he was the commander, ie. Commander in Chief and not just a rank. Perhaps ...killing Raul Reyes, a FARC commander, and triggering a diplomatic crisis with Ecuador and Venezuela. Regards Woody ( talk) 15:29, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, MOP. You are doing a fantastic job with the Wikipedia ads. However, could you please include the images that you used to make the ads, per GFDL? One example is seen here. Also, on this image, you didn't provide a license or image description, which is vital, because as you know there is a period where images are deleted after a certain period of time if they don't have licenses.
Also, Spanish Wikipedia ( see this) is considering having ads on their userpages. If you are interested, you might want to go to #wikipedia-es (don't worry, they speak English in there and don't bite :-P) to ask them. Cheers. miranda 09:13, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi, you declined the db-spam nomination for this one, asserting notability. I still think it should be deleted as advertising. Do you plan to re-write it? If not, I will probably list it on AfD. thanks, Nomoskedasticity ( talk) 10:41, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

I know you're a busy guy, but when you get some free time, could you take a look at a page I created? It's the first page I've genuinely created on my own, and I want to make sure it looks alright.

Hi, I was reviewing the Wikipedia Ads you just put up. Nice work! Just one question though on Image:Qxz-ad124.gif - is that AIM buddy a copyrighted logo? From the looks of it, it looks like an AIM buddy knock-off, but I was just wondering if it still technically violates (C) on AOL's logo. Also, I'm pretty sure you need to cite every image/logo you used for your ads. Perhaps listing the image sources on the image summary would be ideal for others to review potential (C) issues in the future. Thanks! Please let me know if you have questions. Have a great day! :D - Jameson L. Tai talk ♦ contribs 23:31, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
i would like to retrieve an article that i submitted in March 2007 called "Canadian Company of Pilgrims". it has been deleted and i would like to get a copy of it.
it was deleted by FisherQueen on July 9, 2007 over notability concerns.
i would like to re-submit the article minus the image that caused it to be deleted.
i understand that any administrator can undelete the article and restore it to my user space.
thanks for any help that anyone can provide,

The image had nothing to do with the article being deleted, it seems the subject did not meet our notability criteria at the time, if you think this has changed, please make the case for the article at deletion review. Nick (talk) 23:06, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Abu Mohammed as delete.
But you didn't explain how you came to the conclusion. I thought some strong arguments had been made for redirect.
I would really appreciate it if you took the time to explain your reasoning. Geo Swan ( talk) 04:00, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
Second point; I don't believe those were IDONTLIKEITs, but rather sound. I agree that not every Guantanamo captive doesn't deserve his own article; not because I'm against those articles, just because being an inmate there is not automatic proof of notability.

Since you were involved in this, I would like to point you to this diff. I am requesting Jersyko modify his actions, as he is only making worse a situation already caused to be bad by a large amount of WP:BITE-style behavior.
I would prefer that the abusing of newbies stop, but this looks like a textbook case; a user being continually pushed and harassed (feeling as if they are being stalked, which appears to be the case from at least one person's series of edits following theirs on multiple pages) who is now being indef-blocked for "POV-Pushing" when the primary people infuriating them appear to be POV-pushers themselves.

Hi, I saw that you helped format the newly added "Quotes" section at Emily Dickinson. Just a note to say that I've removed it and have notified the user who originally added them. This is a newly promoted FA and random, large sections of quotes belong better at Wikiquote, which, since you're an administrator and everything, I hope you agree with. It's great to help with new users, and I admire the effort it takes, but perhaps you should check a little more carefully what you're helping them with first. :) Take care, María ( habla con migo) 05:01, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

It is not only simple but almost intuitive -- Edit the last good version before the bad versions and save it. I've been working much too long in systems that are not intuitive.

Dear XXX, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

Hi MoP, I'm not sure this page ( link) needs protection. The editor Neights ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) has been edit warring to add irrelevant and marginal info to this and several related articles.

I absolutely disagree with deleting above stated article PayPay. There was no advertising text and i was just commonly describing a payment system similar to moneybookers or paypal. The text was roughly identic with these 2 articles so there was no reason for deleting that article. If it would be advertising you would have to delete also paypal and moneybookers articles because there is no difference regarding contents at all!! Waiting for reasonable explanation. Thank you
