Hi, Mr.Z-man. Could you please have a look at the article Ming Dynasty? I pasted a map, ming_1443.png, drawn by Sinomap Press, ISBN 7503103841. However there are some guys who don't agree with the position of Tibet in the map, even though I cited plenty of sources to prove that Tibet was in Ming China at that period. The discussion is in deadlock at present, I beg you to make a judgment in the article, please just stay neutral! Thanks!-- LaGrandefr ( talk) 11:05, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Mr. Z-Man,
I see you closed the AFD on Deaths_in_2008. I'm curious about that. The list (it's a list and not an article) appears violate both WP:NOT#DIR and WP:NOT#MEM. Wouldn't policy trump consensus , rather than the other way around ? F.U.R hurts Wikipedia 18:46, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
I thought the images were not representative images of the railway stations. But it was my mistake not to use edit summary and I did not understand by doing so I will be accused of "vandalism". I have self-reverted my edits. So can you bring the twinkle back. Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 21:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello, since you are an adminstrator who has previously given advice to User:Otolemur crassicaudatus about inappropriate tagging, can I ask you to take a look at his actions on Peterloo Massacre (which I have been involved in), in particular a section about eyewitness testimony? I and at least one other editor believe he tagged inappropriately without explanation and without prior discussion on the talk page with experienced editors who had already reached a consensus about the section's relevance and inclusion. I posted a message about this, along with another editor, on the editor's talk page (now deleted by him) and got in reply a note directing me to WP:CIVIL and WP:HARASSMENT which I believe was inappropriate, as I pointed out in a response both on my talk page and on the editor's talk page. I should point out that this is not the first time I and others have disagreed with his overly-zealous tagging of articles: one recent one also on an article I have an interest in ( Smallthorne) led to him making a totally inappropriate edit summary which I took to WP:Wikiquette alerts which he then apologized about. I feel there may be a greater problem emerging, and I hope he can be counselled to amend his overly-zealous tagging to prevent it getting worse. DDStretch (talk) 00:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 04:53, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Mr.Z..
I wanted to personally thank you for taking part in the project-wide discussions regarding my candidacy for bureaucratship. After bureaucratic discussion, the bureaucrats decided that there was sufficient significant and varied opposition to my candidacy, and thus no consensus to promote. Although personally disappointed, I both understand and respect their decision, especially in light of historical conservatism the project has had when selecting its bureaucrats.

Thanks for your comment at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions. Now I'm confused: maybe I shouldn't have put the note redirecting discussion to Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions because discussion of the wording of the page Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions should perhaps still be at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions. On the other hand, discussion of the wording of that page would essentially be discussion of how sighted versions would work, which would essentially duplicate discussion that's happening at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions. Actually, I don't like the wording of Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions because it states that sighted versions means that un-logged-in users will see something different from what logged-in users see, which is not necessarily true – it depends on what parameters are set. But now that I've redirected the discussion elsewhere I don't know where if anywhere I could make that comment; perhaps discussion of the wording of Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions should now happen at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions.

Thanks for userifying Barbara Olshansky.
I think I am going to request WP:DRV for Barbara Olshansky.
I know, since I made changes to User:Geo Swan/Guantanamo/Review/Barbara Olshansky, and it is a substantially different article than it was when it was deleted, anyone who wanted to see it deleted should feel obliged to nominate it for {{ afd}}.
But, I am wondering whether I have to take the step of asking for DRV because I have had experience with administrators who have felt free to delete newer versions of once-deleted articles, no matter how improved the new version is.

I question why you've recently protected, seemingly without reason, several Olympics templates to the point where only administrators can edit them.

Could you lower this to semi-protected, too. We haven't had any issues and need to maintain it every now and again, see the protection log. Thanks. -- Tombstone ( talk) 00:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Not requesting unprotection because I understand why it's needed but I have a question. Do you have any objection to my occasionally turning it down to semi for fixes? I ask primarily because I'm template stupid and of the two who regularly fix it for me one isn't an admin and the other edits frequently from his (I think) public account which isn't an admin. Theoretically they could show me what changes need to be done and I could do but I think a fair amount of the fixes are trial and error and I have no problem dropping it to semi to let them play. Thoughts on that? TravellingCari the Busy Bee 01:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

I left a note at User talk:Wknight94#Thanks on this issue too. The avril troll has led to a spate of admins mass-protecting templates, in many cases preemptively. To put it mildly, this is a huge pain in the ass for non-admins who work in templatespace. While there's a policy that heavily transcluded templates may be fully protected to prevent vandalism like this, I think if there's going to be a mass effort to preemptively protect all heavily-used templates then this should be discussed first. It's going to seriously impact my productivity if I have to request editprotected every time I make corrections to an infobox, something I do on a daily basis. I didn't see anything about mass preemption on ANI. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

I wanted to check with you first to make sure that it would be ok for me to copy the top part of your monobook.js to add to my own page... this would be the code from the start of the page up until the comment line as follows

I see you edit protected this template. As the person who created the template and the person who updates it, how exactly am I supposed to update it each week? I could track down an admin each time, but that seems a little, well, retarded. How about a semi-protect so only non-auto confirmed users are prevented from editing the template, or if possible make it so only those with rollback rights can?

Hello, you recently protected the Project Template for WP:WPIN. I am one of the primary editors in the project as of late and have been doing most of the assessments on new articles. I have been tweaking it lately to recognize different parameters and all are working except the "class=image" "class=Image" parameter, could either fix that problem or unprotect, or make it semi-portected it so that I may?

Hi Mr.Z-man, I saw that you have made 'full protection' to {{ WikiProject Computing}} , which I am significantly contributing to.

Hi. I'm just asking for clarification over your oppose on my recent RfA as you said that WP:N has nothing to do with original sources, peer-review or neutrality.
Your original comment was: "Q12 shows a major misunderstanding of WP:N, notability has nothing to do with originality, peer review, or neutrality. If I had to guess, I'd say the user confused WP:Notability with WP:Reliable sources."
Question 12 stated: "Notability, in regards to Wikipedia, is the worthiness of an item to be included within an article, based upon several factors. These factors include whether or not the item is original, or whether it is peer-reviewed or referenced to other articles. The item must be verifiable and must also be as neutral as possible. A good example of a notable source would be, for example, a medical article published upon a large site that is reviewed by a large number of physicians. A bad example could be a site published on a free-hosting service, written originally by the author of the site and not verified elsewhere."
Now, according to the guidelines for WP:N (particularly WP:GNG) the first two statements say the following:
This seems to go against your idea that WP:N has nothing to do with reliable sources or originality? It's further backed up by the statement: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable."
Any clarification you could provide would be a great help. Thanks. — CycloneNimrod Talk? 08:42, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

I have self-reverted my edits. So can you bring the twinkle back. Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 21:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
Hello, since you are an adminstrator who has previously given advice to User:Otolemur crassicaudatus about inappropriate tagging, can I ask you to take a look at his actions on Peterloo Massacre (which I have been involved in), in particular a section about eyewitness testimony? I and at least one other editor believe he tagged inappropriately without explanation and without prior discussion on the talk page with experienced editors who had already reached a consensus about the section's relevance and inclusion. I posted a message about this, along with another editor, on the editor's talk page (now deleted by him) and got in reply a note directing me to WP:CIVIL and WP:HARASSMENT which I believe was inappropriate, as I pointed out in a response both on my talk page and on the editor's talk page. I should point out that this is not the first time I and others have disagreed with his overly-zealous tagging of articles: one recent one also on an article I have an interest in ( Smallthorne) led to him making a totally inappropriate edit summary which I took to WP:Wikiquette alerts which he then apologized about. I feel there may be a greater problem emerging, and I hope he can be counselled to amend his overly-zealous tagging to prevent it getting worse. DDStretch (talk) 00:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours.

Thanks for your comment at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions. Now I'm confused: maybe I shouldn't have put the note redirecting discussion to Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions because discussion of the wording of the page Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions should perhaps still be at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions. On the other hand, discussion of the wording of that page would essentially be discussion of how sighted versions would work, which would essentially duplicate discussion that's happening at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions. Actually, I don't like the wording of Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions because it states that sighted versions means that un-logged-in users will see something different from what logged-in users see, which is not necessarily true – it depends on what parameters are set. But now that I've redirected the discussion elsewhere I don't know where if anywhere I could make that comment; perhaps discussion of the wording of Wikipedia:Flagged revisions/Sighted versions should now happen at Wikipedia talk:Flagged revisions.

Hi. Thanks for move-protecting the page but is the protection permanent? It should be. I thought it had been protected before with no expiry date but why have Grawp vandals been targeting it as recently as today? Thanks. ~ A H 1( T C U) 17:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
Can I have a tab, that when pressed, edits the page (User namespace only) and adds {{editedsince|date=DATE}}
, and asks for the date manually. via var
? via popupbox? Thank You. –

I think the page needs to be balanced with the controversies, perhaps you can edit them to make them more due / suitable for the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dbmoodb ( talk • contribs) 14:52, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
Could you please explain why you deleted the talk page of User:Wikifactsright?-- Matilda talk 20:23, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
You deleted this talk page last October because its associated article did not exist. It is there now; could you please restore the talk page? Thanks! The ''Gorgeous Girl''!!! ( talk) 22:12, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
1) I had an article speedy-deleted, and as I understand it you are one of the people who is willing to send copies of deleted articles back to the writers. Would it be possible for you to do this for me? (article was on Eric enderton).
2) I hear that there is a way to create a sort of "personal sandbox," or "sub-user page" for rough drafts of articles, but I can't figure out how to do this. Are there instructions you can direct me to?

In regards to this edit, should I have removed the BLP violation from the AfD? I commented on WillyJulia's "reasonsing", but didn't know if it would screw up the AfD process for that article if I removed it. (I'm asking in case something like this happens in the future) Thanks.

I applied for an WP:RFA and the discussion ended after just 90 minutes at a vote of 0-12-1, which, after I read some of the lists of failed candidacies, I realise is one of the worst showings ever. I seriously want to learn from this experience and re-apply for RFA some time. What should I do? JeanLatore ( talk) 22:36, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
Good idea protecting it. But now I can't edit it and I was making many edits in this template. -- Magioladitis ( talk) 00:25, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for expressing your concerns on the recent issue Issue with TinucherianBot in Project Banner Tagging for WP:FOOD .

I noticed that this page was marked for deletion back in March in relation to the discussion on characters from the "Dark Rising" video game. I have re-done the page, which is now dedicated to the 19th century major league baseball player of the same name. If possible, can this page be un-marked? Dewelar ( talk) 17:44, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
I question why you've recently protected, seemingly without reason, several Olympics templates to the point where only administrators can edit them. Most of the editors at WP:OLY do not have the privileges to edit fully protected pages, so we would kindly request that you at least minimize the protect level. Thanks in advance! Jared (t) 23:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
Could you lower this to semi-protected, too. We haven't had any issues and need to maintain it every now and again, see the protection log. Thanks. -- Tombstone ( talk) 00:13, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Not requesting unprotection because I understand why it's needed but I have a question. Do you have any objection to my occasionally turning it down to semi for fixes? I ask primarily because I'm template stupid and of the two who regularly fix it for me one isn't an admin and the other edits frequently from his (I think) public account which isn't an admin. Theoretically they could show me what changes need to be done and I could do but I think a fair amount of the fixes are trial and error and I have no problem dropping it to semi to let them play. Thoughts on that? TravellingCari the Busy Bee 01:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi, could you change this template protection status to semi-protect? It's a list meant for editors to add in new rail lines parameters and would be extremely inconvenient if it were fully protected. You may wish to see {{ S-line}} or {{ S-rail}} for more details. :) - oahiyeel talk 04:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Mr.Z-man,
Please downgrade the protection level on the above mentioned template to semi, as we are currently discussing and implementing changes on it per discussions on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anime and manga. At least the following changes are still due:
The template is watchlisted by 'at least two editors, probably three.

I regularly make improvements to this template, and would appreciate if it were unprotected. Thank you. -- NE2 12:04, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
I left a note at User talk:Wknight94#Thanks on this issue too. The avril troll has led to a spate of admins mass-protecting templates, in many cases preemptively. To put it mildly, this is a huge pain in the ass for non-admins who work in templatespace. While there's a policy that heavily transcluded templates may be fully protected to prevent vandalism like this, I think if there's going to be a mass effort to preemptively protect all heavily-used templates then this should be discussed first. It's going to seriously impact my productivity if I have to request editprotected every time I make corrections to an infobox, something I do on a daily basis. I didn't see anything about mass preemption on ANI. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 11:34, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Greetings. I am not going to revert your revert. But I'd like you to know my opinion that the main page resdesign discussion was interrupted by the effort to centralize and coordinate. I'd suggest retaining the comments links. It would have been a nice thing to do. — SusanLesch ( talk) 20:26, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I wanted to let you know that some of the parameters aren't displaying properly for this template.

I was talking to dragonfly6-7 on IRC tonight about new page patrol and he suggested that you have a good tool that helps with the task.
I wanted to check with you first to make sure that it would be ok for me to copy the top part of your monobook.js to add to my own page... this would be the code from the start of the page up until the comment line as follows
// End autopatrolling
if you dont mind me using this, do you have any advice on things that may go wrong or things to be careful for? I am trying to get involved in helping out with the New Pages patrolling. Thanks in advance %%

I have tested and taken a closer look at the code which confirmed something I was wondering, which brings me to a new request. can you point me in the right direction to add the patrol link to the list of New Articles for quick patrolling? If not, that's ok I have gotten much quicker at doing patrol by going into each article anyway but I figured there are some that you can tell before you even go into them that they are ok. Think ya would be willing to help me out? I would very much appreciate it! %% -SYKKO-%% ( talk to me) 19:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Could you please undelete User talk:Defendersofwildlife? I posted something on this page a while back. I'm having a discussion with someone from this organization and I need to see what I wrote before.

I see you edit protected this template. As the person who created the template and the person who updates it, how exactly am I supposed to update it each week? I could track down an admin each time, but that seems a little, well, retarded. How about a semi-protect so only non-auto confirmed users are prevented from editing the template, or if possible make it so only those with rollback rights can? In the meantime, please replace the current two with:

Hello, you recently protected the Project Template for WP:WPIN. I am one of the primary editors in the project as of late and have been doing most of the assessments on new articles. I have been tweaking it lately to recognize different parameters and all are working except the "class=image" "class=Image" parameter, could either fix that problem or unprotect, or make it semi-portected it so that I may? Thank you. Charles Edward 03:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
Hi Mr.Z-man, I saw that you have made 'full protection' to {{ WikiProject Computing}} , which I am significantly contributing to. I havent seen any vandalism attempts till now on this template.It will be gr8 if you could reduce the level to semi-protection, or else I will have to run behind you for every updates:) .

Hi. I'm just asking for clarification over your oppose on my recent RfA as you said that WP:N has nothing to do with original sources, peer-review or neutrality.
Your original comment was: "Q12 shows a major misunderstanding of WP:N, notability has nothing to do with originality, peer review, or neutrality. If I had to guess, I'd say the user confused WP:Notability with WP:Reliable sources."
Question 12 stated: "Notability, in regards to Wikipedia, is the worthiness of an item to be included within an article, based upon several factors. These factors include whether or not the item is original, or whether it is peer-reviewed or referenced to other articles. The item must be verifiable and must also be as neutral as possible. A good example of a notable source would be, for example, a medical article published upon a large site that is reviewed by a large number of physicians. A bad example could be a site published on a free-hosting service, written originally by the author of the site and not verified elsewhere."
Now, according to the guidelines for WP:N (particularly WP:GNG) the first two statements say the following:
This seems to go against your idea that WP:N has nothing to do with reliable sources or originality? It's further backed up by the statement: "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable."
Any clarification you could provide would be a great help. Thanks. — CycloneNimrod Talk? 08:42, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
