Just to let you know, I posted a message on the anon's talk page about blanking out info on their "mother's" page. In that message, I directed them to WP:OTRS since I'm not sure if they know about the article histories. Dismas| (talk) 01:40, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi! I haven't been in touch lately (been focussing on my own website so have had little time for Wikipedia) but I just thought I'd pick your brain and alert you to a potential issue. I just found Miss Wisconsin National Teenager and have prodded it. You can read my reasons on the talk page... just wondering whether you can check it out and see whether you agree with my actions. I just don't think that pageant (at least on the state level) is notable enough for individual articles... particularly after the individual MAOTeen state articles were deleted.
Hope all is well with you. PageantUpdater talk • contribs 06:13, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi I just noticed your question on this, and do appreciate you suggestions on the Wisconsin National Teenager page. I do hope you read the discussion section. I posted some articles on the pageant, and explained why there aren't more (renovated newspaper websites is mainly to blame with very short archives). MAOT for Wisconsin was not in need of its own website or notable because it has only been around for three years - wonderful system but not much of a history to write on. So many small MAOT articles did not make sense. National Teenager on the other hand is one of the longest running teen pageants in the state of Wisconsin as well as the country. I believe the longest running is Junior Miss at 50 years. Also many former Wisconsin National Teenager queens have gone on to be very successful in Miss Wisconsin USA as well as Miss Wisconsin, for instance - Meghan Coffey, Tracy Gest, Jena Schulz, and Maria Kim to name a few. If you would like more information, please feel free to contact me. -- Pageant Girl —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 00:12, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry you felt it necessary to oppose my recent RfA, which did not succeed. I will attempt to get more experience in the main namespace and the Wikipedia namespace and will try again for RfA in two month's time. One of your concerns was I had no record of interactions with other users. This is not entirely true. I prefer to interact on IRC, however I have had a fair amount of interaction with other users on my and my bot's talk pages as well as my bot's false positives page. I hope I will have satisfied your concerns by then, but if not, please comment as you feel you should. Thanks for participating in my RfA. -- Cobi( t| c| b| cn) 07:46, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi there. I was wondering if you would undelete this image
[4]. It's a U.S. book illustration from 1895 and is actually Public Domain. The uploader just had it tagged incorrectly. Actually, it looks like the uploader did have it tagged as PD. Uploader owns the magazine and scanned the cover, so that's the source (see summary

I am blockerman200 and I have posted articles before, but they keep getting deleted. I want to post an article on a local author in my hometown named Evan Sackett who was jusr recently published. I was wondering if you could help me post a legit article on him so it won't be deleted. I would really appreciate it. Blockerman200 12:28 13, October 2007(UTC)
As I have never run a bot on Wikipedia. I have no idea how much work it entails to perform it's tasks (ie how much is automated, and how much involves the user). So while I love the idea of having bots, I always am hesitant to ask (because if it's the same amount of work as to do it manually, I can do it myself, rather than burdern someone else with the task, though it's time consuming).
Anyway... I have a request on Ambot's talk page, and I have a request if you would tag all the subcats of Wikipedians by website.
I'll have a few more large noms (as I'm sure you may have guessed by now) but I would like to wait for the page to clear out a bit first.
Thanks again. - jc37 09:17, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi there, I notice that a while ago you moved Embrace (UK band) to Embrace (English band) after User:172.189.4.168 did a cut-and-paste job from the former to the latter. This change appears to be a bit of political POV-pushing by that user (see his/her other edits) and the general concensus (at the United Kingdom talk page at least) is that "UK" is the correct term for people or entities from the United Kingdom (we have UK citizenship, not English, Scottish, or Welsh citizenship) unless there's a specific reason for doing so, such as a historical context. Could you change it back? Cheers, Miremare 00:09, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

By my count, there were two delete votes, one of them being the nominator, the other a completely explanation-less "per nom". There were five keep votes, all with lengthly explanations. How, exactly, is this any consensus other than 'keep'? (And I would have voted keep, but had no idea it was up for deletion! needs to be some way of notifying people in categories...)
"Decision based on strength of arguments" ... What strength? Only the nominator (of the two people for deleting it) even made an argument, while all of the keep voters did. "precedent and the cited DRV" ... The precedent of being kept every time, and the DRV overturning a non-discussion-based deletion?
I'll try to assume good faith, but really, how many times will this be out-of-process deleted? Please restore it and save everyone the hassle of yet another DRV. Thanks, Bushytails 06:14, 17 October 2007 (UTC).

I can't say whether the past images had their stuff in order but this current one not only has proper copyright tagging but also the necessary rationale for non-free use (illustrating a significant plot point). What concerns me is that all of the previous images were deleted with the same reason on the same day with no apparent history of having been tagged and now this one is also tagged linking to the CSD for images despite it not fitting at all. There's no discussion on the discussion page, no warnings that I can track down, and no justification. I can't even find anything related to it on your contributions page or who uploaded it. To me none of this adds up, especially if the other images were as far from the CSD as the currently tagged one is. Given the speed and uniformity with which the images were all immediately deleted without any traces, tagging, or discussion I figure either someone is trying to be a little orwellian or someone's bot had a bad day. -- Superslash 02:28, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
I feel as if my image seleucuscoin.jpg has been unfairly deleted, as the following images, obtained from the exact same source AFTER May of 2005, are still being maintained here:
If indeed I have used the wrong tag, then I shall change it. If I am unable to maintain this image, then I request all of the other images from CNG Coins be speedily deleted as they are exactly the same as mine in the interest of fairness. Thank you. Monsieurdl 03:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

In light of the recent and upcoming nominations, I think that it would be a good idea to place a notice at the top of the page. Something about how comments should address content, or the categories under discussion, not the process or other Wikipedians, such as those doing the nominating. But I wanted your thoughts before I do so, for transparency reasons, since I'm doing much of the nominating.
Incidentally, as I mentioned recent to WaltCip, I've been taking this slow (roughly one or two groups of noms at a time) in the hopes of reducing disruption. However, I'm beginning to wonder if by not just doing them all at once (though creating a possibly prohibitively long page), I'm prolonging things. What do you think? - jc37 18:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

I would like to sincerely apologise to you. I am guessing that being the closer lately has introduced a bit of additional stress. That wasn't my intention, obviously, (though I do feel that these categories need to be discussed). I'd offer to help in whatever way I could, but besides not nominating them for discussion (which I obviously don't see as actually helpful), I'm not sure how I can help.

On the page for Shmuel Yanai, former commander of 2 Palyam ships, including the Aviva Reik. The picture was provided by Paul Silverstone, who provide full release and permission to use it. The rational for including the picture was to show how precarious the transport of illegal immigrants was, given the condition and size of the boats used to cross the Mediterranean.

Hi mate,
You deleted the image 'Arrse.png' from The Army Rumour Service page citing CSD:6 here. Clearly happy with what means, but the image belongs to me, and I was - and still am - happy for it to be used. Could I trouble you to come back to me with any other good reason why it shouldn't be reinstated - if I hear nothing fairly shortly, I'll do it anyway as I can't really see who you are seeking to protect in this instance if I am happy! I'll come back to you here if you are agreeable? Gormenghastly 16:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Not sure where I went wrong on this one. If I contacted the creator and he gave permission as long as I use it for non-commercial purposes then can't the photo stay? I noticed the image was removed per (CSD I3) which if I understand correctly ... is for images with a non-commercial purpose. Did I tag it incorrectly? If I have permission, shouldn't I be able to post the image? Any obvious clarification would be helpful and since I'm new to this, probably necessary. HeadSnap 16:25, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, looks like I'm going to need some help. I understand now that the non-commercial part was the issue. The author has given me permission to use the image and he is not a wikipedia 'member' so I would like to upload the image and credit the author with creating it. However, I can't find an 'option' to license the image and do just that. GFDL seems to be correct and if so ... should I upload the file again and tag it or revert the previous upload and change the tag? HeadSnap 16:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello After Midnight,
I was hoping that you could undelete Image:PIJ emblem.png (logo) and Image:Ramallah-lynch01.jpg (iconic photo), both of which should be valid FU images, so that I can add the rationales. Cheers, Tewfik Talk 12:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

"Decision based on strength of arguments" ... What strength? Only the nominator (of the two people for deleting it) even made an argument, while all of the keep voters did. "precedent and the cited DRV" ... The precedent of being kept every time, and the DRV overturning a non-discussion-based deletion?
I'll try to assume good faith, but really, how many times will this be out-of-process deleted? Please restore it and save everyone the hassle of yet another DRV. Thanks, Bushytails 06:14, 17 October 2007 (UTC).
Hi, could we disambiguate Gerhardt so that it reads Gerhardt chassis (or something like that)? See the list below:

This is random, but you edited a page on my watchlist. I just want you to know that I like your username, because of its Eric Clapton reference. SashaCall ( Sign!)/( Talk!) 02:06, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

I can't say whether the past images had their stuff in order but this current one not only has proper copyright tagging but also the necessary rationale for non-free use (illustrating a significant plot point). What concerns me is that all of the previous images were deleted with the same reason on the same day with no apparent history of having been tagged and now this one is also tagged linking to the CSD for images despite it not fitting at all. There's no discussion on the discussion page, no warnings that I can track down, and no justification. I can't even find anything related to it on your contributions page or who uploaded it. To me none of this adds up, especially if the other images were as far from the CSD as the currently tagged one is. Given the speed and uniformity with which the images were all immediately deleted without any traces, tagging, or discussion I figure either someone is trying to be a little orwellian or someone's bot had a bad day. -- Superslash 02:28, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
I feel as if my image seleucuscoin.jpg has been unfairly deleted, as the following images, obtained from the exact same source AFTER May of 2005, are still being maintained here:
If indeed I have used the wrong tag, then I shall change it. If I am unable to maintain this image, then I request all of the other images from CNG Coins be speedily deleted as they are exactly the same as mine in the interest of fairness. Thank you. Monsieurdl 03:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
I'm curious as to how you're weighing the comments by Marlith and Allstarecho. - jc37 04:42, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I think I messed up the usage rights information when uploading File:Brisbane Independent School tree logo.png. I believe this image to be owned by the Brisbane Independent School of which I was an office bearer at the time I uploaded the image. Can it be undeleted please? Also how should I show the usage rights correctly? Could you reply to Talk:Brisbane Independent School please? Regards RowanPatterson 04:50, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
I was uploading an image in the sandbox just to figure out how to upload images. And you deleted it before I could add any details. Please explain.

It looks like I will need to go through a sock puppet's contribution history and revert all their edits. Do I need to do this manually? Or are there other bots out there that take requests such as this? (I'm asking because I presume you know about bots, not because I'm hinting that you should take this on, btw : ) - jc37 10:35, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
In light of the recent and upcoming nominations, I think that it would be a good idea to place a notice at the top of the page. Something about how comments should address content, or the categories under discussion, not the process or other Wikipedians, such as those doing the nominating. But I wanted your thoughts before I do so, for transparency reasons, since I'm doing much of the nominating.
Incidentally, as I mentioned recent to WaltCip, I've been taking this slow (roughly one or two groups of noms at a time) in the hopes of reducing disruption. However, I'm beginning to wonder if by not just doing them all at once (though creating a possibly prohibitively long page), I'm prolonging things. What do you think? - jc37 18:45, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Just thought you'd want to know. -- Kbdank71 18:44, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
I would like to sincerely apologise to you. I am guessing that being the closer lately has introduced a bit of additional stress. That wasn't my intention, obviously, (though I do feel that these categories need to be discussed). I'd offer to help in whatever way I could, but besides not nominating them for discussion (which I obviously don't see as actually helpful), I'm not sure how I can help. Anyway, I hope that despite all of this, you're having a great day : ) - jc37 20:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
On the page for Shmuel Yanai, former commander of 2 Palyam ships, including the Aviva Reik. The picture was provided by Paul Silverstone, who provide full release and permission to use it. The rational for including the picture was to show how precarious the transport of illegal immigrants was, given the condition and size of the boats used to cross the Mediterranean. What else must be done to comply with rules of fair use? SZAgassi 11:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
You recently removed the Fair Use Rationale Missing or Incomplete template from the following images without completing the Fair Use Rationale:
As these images are screenshots of a computer game they may only be used in the article about that game. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 08:50, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
This picture was authorized to use. We had the appropriate rights and permission to post the picture. The previous picture that was present, was a slander towards Scott Walker. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.229.234.108 ( talk • contribs) 22:51, 26 October 2007

Hi mate,
You deleted the image 'Arrse.png' from The Army Rumour Service page citing CSD:6 here. Clearly happy with what means, but the image belongs to me, and I was - and still am - happy for it to be used. Could I trouble you to come back to me with any other good reason why it shouldn't be reinstated - if I hear nothing fairly shortly, I'll do it anyway as I can't really see who you are seeking to protect in this instance if I am happy! I'll come back to you here if you are agreeable? Gormenghastly 16:21, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Not sure where I went wrong on this one. If I contacted the creator and he gave permission as long as I use it for non-commercial purposes then can't the photo stay? I noticed the image was removed per (CSD I3) which if I understand correctly ... is for images with a non-commercial purpose. Did I tag it incorrectly? If I have permission, shouldn't I be able to post the image? Any obvious clarification would be helpful and since I'm new to this, probably necessary. HeadSnap 16:25, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
Well, looks like I'm going to need some help. I understand now that the non-commercial part was the issue. The author has given me permission to use the image and he is not a wikipedia 'member' so I would like to upload the image and credit the author with creating it. However, I can't find an 'option' to license the image and do just that. GFDL seems to be correct and if so ... should I upload the file again and tag it or revert the previous upload and change the tag? HeadSnap 16:48, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello After Midnight,
I was hoping that you could undelete Image:PIJ emblem.png (logo) and Image:Ramallah-lynch01.jpg (iconic photo), both of which should be valid FU images, so that I can add the rationales. Cheers, Tewfik Talk 12:20, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

You deleted a picture on "The History of Jews in Germany" page. No reason was given for the deletion. Is that asking too much of a moderator? Please reinsert the picture ASAP, or at least leave a comment on the Talk page. Thanks! Nellov5 05:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
