Hello Stifle,
I was planning to create an Arthur Weiss page but notice you had deleted one that existed on 10 July 2008. Could you let me see what was on that page via my workspace? It would help to know if this is the same "Arthur Weiss" as the creater of "Flipper" and TV/Film writer/producer.
I believe that Arthur Weiss was notable and I'd would be happy to flesh out the old page with details if they were lacking (or start fresh).
His Hollywood History can be found at: http://www.inbaseline.com/person.aspx?person_id=1073082 http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0918918/
Highlights: in addition to creating the script and concept for "Flipper" the dolphin Movie and TV show, he was also a writer for several notable shows including Mission Impossible, Time Tunnel, Sea Hunt, Dr Kildare, Voyage to the Bottom of Sea, etc.

Hey. I just saw this edit on the Colgate University article. I'm wondering why someone requested to have that author removed. On the reference in question, it clearly says "By Marjorie Backman" at the top. I'm just sort of curious as to why it should have been removed, then.

Hi Stifle, I note that you have closed the AfD on A. Watts that I initiated as "no consensus." So that you're aware, I'll give you the background that may not be immediately obvious. The AfD came about after an editor flagged the A. Watts article with {{bio-notability}}. I objected to this because (1) it seemed absurd to me that A. Watts would pass AfD whilst plenty of far lesser known bloggers in the climate change debate had biographies; and (2) it seemed to me that the editor had found a way of stating publicly using Wikipedia that A. Watts is "non-notable" which many will read as "irrelevant", i.e. A Watts opinions are irrelevant (as is commonly asserted in the climate change debate). Watts is also known to be offended by these slurs. Accordingly, I tried to remove the {{bio-notability}} but it was re-added each time. Seeing it as a BLP issue, I took it to BLP/N, and there was consensus that adding {{bio-notability}} is not a BLP issue. I then asked, does that mean the {{bio-notability}} flag can stay there indefinitely? It was then suggested that the best thing to do, since the editor who added the flag wasn't moving to actually nominate the article, that I nominate the article for deletion myself, which I did. The idea was, we'd either get rid of the article altogether, an outcome I have mixed feelings about, or we'd get rid of the tag. Well, now that the AfD has ended in "no consensus" -- does that mean the original problem will remain, i.e. editors can leave {{bio-notability}} in his article indefinitely now? Thanks for your help here. Alex Harvey ( talk) 14:31, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Stifle, thanks for returning to the Alamo FAC so quickly (I wasn't going to bother you about it because I knew you were busy). While we wait for the outcome of the deletion discussion, I've replaced the lead image with File:1854 Alamo.jpg. I scanned this image from a 2005 book which stated that it was a reprint of a drawing from an 1854 magazine. I'd appreciate your confirmation at the FAC page that this is appropriate. Thanks!

Hello Stifle. I am interested in using form the images appearing here, particularly the latter ones. The page indicates they were contributed by, and copyright of, an individual whose grandfather served aboard the ships. The ships were out of active service around the turn of the last century; the grandfather was still living in 1934, according to the caption of one image. Would these not qualify as public doman as being photographs taken by a RN and therefore UK employee more than 50 years ago? And even if so, do you see any moral rights that would be violated by Wikpedia's publication of those photographs? I am also interested in the last image of that page, from 1891, from the Walker archive. Thanks for any assistance you can give. Kablammo ( talk) 17:16, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi Stifle.
This morning the page for Jude Calvert-Toulmin was edited by Haunter of the dark (who originally set up the page)in order to remove some malicious vandalisation which has occured since the page was set up and only noticed today.
The vandalised material included altering the name Jude to Judith, altering the name of Jude's cats to include "Hitler" and "Fred West", and amending a line about her personal life to read "After graduating, Jude decided that she would spend her twenties having fun, her thirties having babies and then sponge off men for the rest of her life."
Jude has had problems from an ex stalking her on the net in the past and posting libellous and erroneous information about her and believes this is the same person. Haunter of the dark has been trying to correct the problems caused by the stalker,including adding new citation proof relating to the music industry and uploaded today which can be found at http://fleurdelyspublishing.com/wiki/index.html
Haunter of the dark is not the person who has been vandalising the page. The edits today were in order to correct the vandalisation and to add requested citations.
Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haunter of the dark ( talk • contribs) 12:58, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi Stifle.
Thanks for replying so quickly and thanks for the apology; it is appreciated. Would you set the page back to how it was before you reverted it back to the vandalised version or do you want me to input all the corrections and citations again? I'm happy to do it all again as I realise you are working for the benefit of the community and it won't take me too long to do it.

Hi, I see you deleted File:Atta atm.jpg according to Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2009 September 22, but left File:Atta in airport.jpg open. Both seem to have pretty much the same status. It's not often I disagree with somebody's "delete" closure on IFD, but in these two cases I would have kept, based on Prosfilaes' sensible argument about no creativity in automatical surveillance cameras. Did you give consideration to that argument in making your closure? I was about to close the second discussion as "keep", if it wasn't for the fact that the two inconsistent closures would be in such a strange and unmotivated contrast, so I thought it would be preferable if we could come to some consensus on both cases.

My response: No chance. He has no purpose here other than to whitewash an article on his diploma mill and has caused all manner of aggravation to try to get there. If you have OTRS access you can look him up, email me for the name (or just search for Bircham). I've lost count of the number of times he has tried different tricks to try to get us to water down the article, and that has included roping in the local Chamber of Commerce, giving them only half the story. The man from the chamber was very nice and rapidly understood the problem. His activity on the talk page is every bit as problematic as his editing of the article itself. His presence at or near that article can serve no useful purpose whatsoever. [3] says it all. He has failed to post a single actionable request for any specific change supported by sources, an every time he's done so in the past it's been either a misrepresentation of the source or special pleading to try to get reliable sources of criticism removed.
Check the edit history of the entry on answers.com - especially see the contributions from Bircham and AdultLearner. That's what he wants us to say.
See this: history of article on answers.com
There is simply no way we can trust this user to have anything to do with the subject of his company. I won't call it a university because it basically isn't one. He absolutely believes that they are now "better" due to the criticism they have received, but this appears to be better in the sense of better at obscuring their status rather than better. On Answers he was still claiming accreditation today, but it is not accredited by any recognised accreditation agency. That's the problem, he wants everything interpreted his way, and his way is fundamentally wrong. Guy ( Help!) 13:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Stifle. :) I'm not able to access OTRS right now. Long story short, my computer is in for repairs, and I'm on a laptop that I don't trust to be quite that secure. (Obviously, I don't want people hacking into my admin account on Wikipedia, either, but if somebody did I'd be blocked and cleaned up. If they got ahold of the OTRS stuff, it could be disaster. I do have some protection, just...not enough to make me comfortable.) Anyway, there's a request to check some OTRS tickets at WT:COPYCLEAN.

That's the problem, he wants everything interpreted his way, and his way is fundamentally wrong. Guy ( Help!) 13:08, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
The reason I use it like that is because sometimes I need to change the colours on it, and using it in the way I do I can change it. Also, updating the template would update all previous sigs.-- Laun chba ller 16:20, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I undid your removal of material and "not in citation" tag; however the lines and cite I gave inside that source were not complete. I meant to add it goes all the way down to page 61, lines 1-5. He clearly identifies her as a supplier of his. Sorry, I would have just put all that in the original revision I did but I hit enter too fast. Thanks. jlcoving ( talk) 19:06, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
I wasnt sure if to respond here or on my talk, so I did both. I thought trying the Account Creation Tool would be a chance to help on wikipedia other than vandal fighting. -- Lcawte ( talk) 20:09, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
If you have the time I'd like your input on my proposed clarification of WP:Image use policy concerning fair-use/copyright versus public-domain/trademark image use. The proposal is contained here. Thanks. BillTunell ( talk) 21:42, 15 October 2009 (UTC)

I noticed that another editor blanked out the AfD - was this a correct move? I would have thought not, but as the closing admin I'll leave it for you to decide if it should have been blanked or not, and if not to rollback to the previous version. -- PhantomSteve ( Contact Me, My Contribs) 11:21, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Stifle. :) I'm not able to access OTRS right now. Long story short, my computer is in for repairs, and I'm on a laptop that I don't trust to be quite that secure. (Obviously, I don't want people hacking into my admin account on Wikipedia, either, but if somebody did I'd be blocked and cleaned up. If they got ahold of the OTRS stuff, it could be disaster. I do have some protection, just...not enough to make me comfortable.) Anyway, there's a request to check some OTRS tickets at WT:COPYCLEAN. Can you help out? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:35, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
