Hey, there. While looking into Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Ron liebman, I noticed you set an indefinite semiprot at Whitey Ford; any chance you'd be willing to set some expiry date, there?

I confess to not spending too much time regarding the Mike Lupica; after reviewing the diffs, I chose to block the user for disruptive editing. However, per the unblock request, I reviewed the edits further and found that there was an edit war between both you and the user on two separate occasions. The edits bordered POV but were not problematic enough to be reverted per WP:Vandalism or WP:BLP. I'm merely suggesting that you should careful when reverting in future. Thank you for your time.

Giving no edit summary is not approperiate, especially if you want to persist in revert-warring. Given that no adequate description was given to prematurely or suddenly delete the discussion (no indication was given that it was being archived), I am expressing disbelief that you are removing it without discussion or as much as an edit summary notification. I presume that this error will be corrected, or at least archived properly (lest you want me to archive it). seicer | talk | contribs 21:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

I want to thank you for protecting Leonese language article. I'm a member of Wikiproject Languages and there is a trouble with an user. He's called Karkeixa and reverts and reverts at least ten times in the last days. I think he has a behaviour against the three revert rule, and the only he makes is telleing he doesn't speak english, spaming web pages, destroying referenced paragaphs, and he acuses eveyone without respeting nor the etiquette neither the good faith policies. I think he could be calified as a vandal, and actues in that sense in a lot of wikis in the lst day, where he just destroy references and promote webs. I have contrasted that he reverts in all the wikis he can, at least 50!!!, promoting spam. Could you please verify that he's a vandal? Thank you.-- Auslli ( talk) 17:49, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about moving my talk page to general wikipedia space again! I thought I had done things as you outlined for me in an earlier communication, but I obviously did it wrong! I think I have the idea now.... Best, Mark Wick -- Mrwick1 ( talk) 02:58, 14 September 2009 (UTC)
Message received about uploading images. I will not upload any more pending resolution of questions that I have, and further tutelage. The first question-- is there a relatively straightforward "chain of command" for getting permission from possible copyright holders to use images on Wikipedia? In hard-copy publications, for example, there is usually a form that is filled out by the original author and/or publisher giving such permission. I have to say that the instructions for this process on Wikipedia seem very arcane to me and I have obviously not grasped them. Can you help me with this?
Thanks as always for your input,
Mark Wick -- Mrwick1 ( talk) 19:59, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Regarding this: Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/A new name 2008 - Is it possible for a user's previous name to be changed to something else, i.e. something "anonymous-sounding", without the general public knowing what the old name was, and hence allowing scrutiny of his edits?

I received your note on my talk page regarding the HMS King Edward VII image (File:HMS King Edward VII (1903) in early 1907.jpg). As you can see at the image page, the claim copyright tag says that an image created by an author who died 70 years ago or is more than 70 years old if the author us unknown is not longer under copyright. The image is unattributed -- it almost certainly is a Royal Navy photo, but that appearently is unrecorded -- therefore the author is unknown, and the photo is 102 years old. Therefore it no longer is under copyright per U.K. law. As for where it was scanned from, it was scanned from a book, specifically from British Battleships 1889-1904 by R. A. Burt, Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, 1988. ISBN 0870210610. At that time the photo was unattributed and already 71 years old, and therefore already in the public domain per U.K. law; the Burt book provides no attribution of any kind for the photo, which would be odd for a photo used by permission or under copyright elsewhere. I see no justification for removing the photo on the basis of it being a copyright violation. I have added the source nformation to the file. Mdnavman ( talk) 18:38, 24 September 2009 (UTC)mdnavman
In your response about the HMS King Edward VII image, you also asked about the HMS Vengeance image. That image comes from exactly the same source and, given the photo's age, has exactly the same logic to it regarding the copyright tag. In fact, if you are combing through image files I uploaded a year ago (when I was a less sophisticated Wikipedia contributor than I am now, so I may have not included enough source information here and there) that are photos of Royal Navy predreadnought battleships -- all linked to the predreadnought articles from the Royal Sovereign-class and its individual ship articles through various other classes and their ship articles right up to and through the Lord Nelson-class battleships and its individual ship articles -- they all come from that source and have the same non-copyright reasoning (and tag). Let me know about any questions you have or any actions you might think I need to take, and I'll do so -- but please don't make the deadlines too tight, as I only do this as a hobby and have a lot of non-Wikipedia priorities to deal with as well! It's best to reach me at my talk page, as I am not well-versed in using talk pages and finding comments elsewehere. Thanks! Mdnavman ( talk) 14:39, 27 September 2009 (UTC)mdnavman
There have been several requests for changes made on the Template talk that have not been addressed for several months. Beyond those requests, I'd like to make some structural changes to improve the layout. I don't feel that the template is in too much danger of vandalism as it appears that the accounts of the main vandals have been blocked.

It really is difficult doing these things when I have that irritant making silly little changes to everything I do. John Stearns set an NL record for most stolen bases for a catcher during his playing career; for some reason that is not considered "Infobox material" by Yankees10, and he removes it.
Who the he is he? Stearns played his entire career on a last place team; he never went to the World Series and his career had very few highlights. I don't see why he INSISTS on removing the one thing the guy accomplished in his career from his infobox. The fact that Dave Kingman led the league in home runs, he removed that too. His explanation is that no one else has that.
I try to do good work. Someone please just get my stalker off my back.-- Johnny Spasm ( talk) 10:49, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
Check out Charlie Williams (pitcher). I added the link to the 1968 Major League Baseball Draft to his article. I added a link around his birth year.

Review the facts; then tell me who is acting uncivil.-- Johnny Spasm ( talk) 09:27, 28 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey Wknight94, possible favor and question. One: would you possibly mind semi-protecting List of World Series champions? It's quiet right now, but it turns into a riot every so often, and with the World Series beginning tonight, it is likely to continue as a rampant hotbed for IP vandalism, as it has been for the past few days. Second, since I've been involved with the above disputing users that have spilled over onto your talk page, might you be able to point me to the current location of any discussions regarding their edits? I'd like to be involved, or at least see what's happening. Thanks. KV5 ( Talk • Phils) 15:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi, the city of Mt. Angel refers to itself as "Mt.

Hi Wknight94
I note that you deleted a large number of entries per {{ db-banned}}. Each of these entries had already had the G5 template removed at least once (almost all of them at least once by me). Per Wikipedia:Deletion#Speedy deletion, once one editor disagrees that an article shouldn't be speedily deleted, a deletion discussion—not a renomination and speedy deletion—is appropriate.
Accordingly, could you please restore the articles and (if you believe that the articles merit deletion) initiate an AfD?

Mt. Baker Ski Area is the proper name of the resort. Mount Baker refers to the actual volcanic mountain. For proof look to www.mtbaker.us.

As you see from my last remarks at the AN/I, upon reflection I agree with your implication that I should not have left multiple warnings.

I noticed that you changed this page to transclude the related borough/census area lists. I know it was good faith, but I had actually created the Panhandle list to be a merged page to combine all the shorter lists. I just didn't redirect the others yet. No pages link to it. I really should have taken care of that then because now there are surely discrepancies. Reywas92 Talk 18:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Giving no edit summary is not approperiate, especially if you want to persist in revert-warring. Given that no adequate description was given to prematurely or suddenly delete the discussion (no indication was given that it was being archived), I am expressing disbelief that you are removing it without discussion or as much as an edit summary notification. I presume that this error will be corrected, or at least archived properly (lest you want me to archive it). seicer | talk | contribs 21:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Message received about uploading images. I will not upload any more pending resolution of questions that I have, and further tutelage. The first question-- is there a relatively straightforward "chain of command" for getting permission from possible copyright holders to use images on Wikipedia? In hard-copy publications, for example, there is usually a form that is filled out by the original author and/or publisher giving such permission. I have to say that the instructions for this process on Wikipedia seem very arcane to me and I have obviously not grasped them. Can you help me with this?

I received your note on my talk page regarding the HMS King Edward VII image (File:HMS King Edward VII (1903) in early 1907.jpg). As you can see at the image page, the claim copyright tag says that an image created by an author who died 70 years ago or is more than 70 years old if the author us unknown is not longer under copyright. The image is unattributed -- it almost certainly is a Royal Navy photo, but that appearently is unrecorded -- therefore the author is unknown, and the photo is 102 years old. Therefore it no longer is under copyright per U.K. law. As for where it was scanned from, it was scanned from a book, specifically from British Battleships 1889-1904 by R. A. Burt, Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, 1988. ISBN 0870210610. At that time the photo was unattributed and already 71 years old, and therefore already in the public domain per U.K. law; the Burt book provides no attribution of any kind for the photo, which would be odd for a photo used by permission or under copyright elsewhere. I see no justification for removing the photo on the basis of it being a copyright violation. I have added the source nformation to the file. Mdnavman ( talk) 18:38, 24 September 2009 (UTC)mdnavman
In your response about the HMS King Edward VII image, you also asked about the HMS Vengeance image. That image comes from exactly the same source and, given the photo's age, has exactly the same logic to it regarding the copyright tag. In fact, if you are combing through image files I uploaded a year ago (when I was a less sophisticated Wikipedia contributor than I am now, so I may have not included enough source information here and there) that are photos of Royal Navy predreadnought battleships -- all linked to the predreadnought articles from the Royal Sovereign-class and its individual ship articles through various other classes and their ship articles right up to and through the Lord Nelson-class battleships and its individual ship articles -- they all come from that source and have the same non-copyright reasoning (and tag). Let me know about any questions you have or any actions you might think I need to take, and I'll do so -- but please don't make the deadlines too tight, as I only do this as a hobby and have a lot of non-Wikipedia priorities to deal with as well! It's best to reach me at my talk page, as I am not well-versed in using talk pages and finding comments elsewehere. Thanks! Mdnavman ( talk) 14:39, 27 September 2009 (UTC)mdnavman

It really is difficult doing these things when I have that irritant making silly little changes to everything I do. John Stearns set an NL record for most stolen bases for a catcher during his playing career; for some reason that is not considered "Infobox material" by Yankees10, and he removes it.
Who the he is he? Stearns played his entire career on a last place team; he never went to the World Series and his career had very few highlights. I don't see why he INSISTS on removing the one thing the guy accomplished in his career from his infobox. The fact that Dave Kingman led the league in home runs, he removed that too. His explanation is that no one else has that.

Hi Wknight94
I note that you deleted a large number of entries per {{ db-banned}}. Each of these entries had already had the G5 template removed at least once (almost all of them at least once by me). Per Wikipedia:Deletion#Speedy deletion, once one editor disagrees that an article shouldn't be speedily deleted, a deletion discussion—not a renomination and speedy deletion—is appropriate.
Accordingly, could you please restore the articles and (if you believe that the articles merit deletion) initiate an AfD?

Could you undo the moves? Thanks. Scillystuff ( talk) 11:52, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Please re-enable filter 81. It has too high of a false positive rate to even set to "warn", but I examine its output on a daily basis and revert all failing edits that it has detected. To perform the same task manually requires substantial effort.— Kww( talk) 01:32, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that the move of Mt. Pisgah State Park to "Mount Pisgah State Park" ignored the official name used by the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), which is Mt. Pisgah State Park. Please see the official DCNR Mt. Pisgah State Park website and here is the picture of the park entrance sign. The official Penn DOT map also refers to it as "Mt. Pisgah" - see here. The article is back at "Mt. Pisgah State Park" with "Mount Pisgah State Park" as a redirect. Thanks, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 02:41, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
Mt. Baker Ski Area is the proper name of the resort. Mount Baker refers to the actual volcanic mountain. For proof look to www.mtbaker.us. The official ski area website never refers to the resort as Mount Baker, only Mt. Baker. This is an intentional naming differentiation on the part of the resort. Please revert both the ski area page and the Banked Slalom page. Flovalflyer ( talk) 19:51, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
(unindent) For the record, I didn't want to revert Mt. Angel, Mt. Hood Jazz Festival and Mt. Hood Community College without consensus, since I'd already moved them originally. There's a discussion on the WikiProject Oregon talk page if anyone is interested. I've already reverted all the other Oregon ones since WKnight didn't seem to feel too strongly about it before. With all due respect, WKnight, I think you had better take heed of the leading indicators and propose a MOS change to the larger community before you move any more pages.

Hi - I see that you disabled EF 135 saying it was not productive. For me, at least, this was one of the most frequent categories of tagged RCs that I would patrol. Do you think there is any chance to optimize it and turn it back on or is it just too much on the servers? If it can't be turned on - which would you suggest for a more useful tag for me to patrol. Thanks. 7 23:00, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
The Ip is at it again. Although hes not vandalizing this time, he is not listening and continues to remove things from the infobox despite me telling him twice not to do it.-- Yankees10 00:06, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I see whatcha mean, now. An editor persuades friends to join Wikipedia & back him up on edits, discussions etc. Different editors acting as one. GoodDay ( talk) 15:35, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
As you see from my last remarks at the AN/I, upon reflection I agree with your implication that I should not have left multiple warnings. I frankly didn't realize it at the time (thinking that as there were different edits, each warranted a warning). But I realize now that that's not how we operate. In the future I understand that even if I come across edits that are clearly vandalism, and no matter how many such edits are made, editors should only get one warning. I'll do better in the future. Thanks for your input.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 19:12, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that you changed this page to transclude the related borough/census area lists. I know it was good faith, but I had actually created the Panhandle list to be a merged page to combine all the shorter lists. I just didn't redirect the others yet. No pages link to it. I really should have taken care of that then because now there are surely discrepancies. Reywas92 Talk 18:37, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
I'm not sure what to make of this rather odd entry: [8] It could be just a joking reference to the editor, or it could be something sinister. In any case, the link posted doesn't work, and I reverted it. ← Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 12:41, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
