Thanks for getting back to me on such a minor matter. If you get elected, please don't lose this attitude :) -- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk 06:49, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
thanks for the tag u added. just to know.. why do this type of problems occur? does it mean that another person is using the same ip as mine? if yes, how is it possible as i'm on my own pc (am i hacked :/ ?) ? Souvik.arko ( talk) 07:14, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for helping me sooooo much with template syntax! fetch comms ☛ 04:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
You're welcome. Hersfold ( t/ a/ c) 04:19, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
I'm not really sure how the weight scale works or how things will really turn out. However, I wish you luck. At least the current system doesn't have the dreaded list of opposers that tends to upset candidates. :) Ottava Rima ( talk) 13:37, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Dear Hersfold, I would like your assistance with uploading an image and then linking it to an article. I received a message from an editor explaining that I need to clarify my licensing. However, when I return to the image, I can't find the field for licensing where I can make the additional clarification. I also read the instructions of uploading an image to an article and believe I have done it correctly; however, the image is not showing up on Wikipedia. Is it because the permission is not stated? Looking forward to your recommendations. Warm Regards, Bpalam. BPalam ( talk) 16:30, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
Following up on this recommendation, as also shown following:
Nasty image deletion
Thanks for your assist in deleting the rather tasteless image [File:Forwiki.jpg], as noted on the deletion log:
However when I checked the article edit summary link a few minutes ago to verify, the image was still on WP's server. Does it take a certain amount of time to purge out, or does the image file have to be deleted separately from the edit summary logs? Also, do you know what procedure would be involved in having the vandal reported to ISP involved? Thanks.... HarryZilber (talk) 12:25 pm, Today (UTC−5)
Are there provisions within WP for doing a followup to this ex-account holder's ISP? (whether or not the image falls into the legal definition of 'obscene material') HarryZilber (talk) 12:31 pm, Today (UTC−5)
This is a highly revolting piece of vandalism, one of the worst I've seen in six years with WP and I would press to have it reported to the vandal's ISP. Wikipedia, Wikipedians, and the public, need to be have relief from sociopaths such as this person. The deleted account holder was Tub1tub1tub1 (talk | contribs). Note that the Commons image involved (File:Forwiki.jpg) was tagged for {speedydeletion}, so it may no longer be viewable. Another editor also uploaded a different, irrelevant image to mask-over the original in the interim.
Can you assist? HarryZilber ( talk) 20:13, 4 December 2009 (UTC)
Hersfold, could you please explain why the band 88MPH I am trying to write an article on keeps getting their page removed and why it does not meet the criteria : "Has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable.". I am a big fan of the band and want to start a Wiki page. They've had plenty of promotion around where I live, and they meet the criteria above in that they have been the subject of multiple non-trivial works published in local press, the BBC, and on the radio. Shouldn't this suffice? If not, how many is "multiple"; if they appear in another few articles from different sources, can they then be deemed suitable for Wikipedia? Thank you.

Hey there. Could you please take a look at User talk:Bezking#Unblock request? Thanks, NW ( Talk) 19:37, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
I am the author of a recent new page called BizFilings, and had been having an ongong discussion with another Wikipedia page reviewer about whether or not the page I authored meets the notability criteria. I believe a successfully made the argument in favor of keeping the page up, and the last comments posted by the WP reviewer indicated that he/she agreed with me and believed the page would not be deleted. Then, from what they tell me, it was deleted by you in the last 24 hours sometime. I'm concerned that, because I'm new to Wikipedia, I may not have posted my arguments in the proper place, or to the proper administrator. Nevertheless, I would like the page to be re-posted. In terms of notability -- my arguments revolved around the fact that BizFilings is the second largest online incorporation service in the U.S., and a subsidiary of Wolters Kluwer, one of the largest global professional publishers int he world. There is only one other online incorporation company as large or larger than BizFilings, which is Legal Zoom. I see that Legal Zoom has had a WP page up for many years -- LONG before they became a notable company. I am a small business owner, and have been working within a forum of other small business owners to help identify and document the largest providers of online services (of all types) for small businesses. As part of this initiative, it is my charter to research and record the online service providers that are subsidiaries of very large corporations. BizFilings falls into this category. It is neither a "fly by night" dot.com, nor a tiny startup. It's a very important subsidiary of a global publisher -- the ONLY one -- targeted specifically to small businesses. If you were part of the small business community, you too would understand why this is notable. Please respond -- and, if possible, help me understand specifically what is creating the notability question. Julieapeck ( talk) 00:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi, Herfold. This is just for your information: Pickbothmanlol is also known as "User:TOEZ" on ED, where he holds an attack page on Juliancolton in his userspace. Triplestop x3 23:51, 8 December 2009 (UTC)
I don't know the appropriate procedure, but I believe that Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Enforcement#Brews ohare restriction review should be closed with no sanction or modification of remedies. It was not opened with the usual section headings. I thought it was begun as a motion, but I'm not sure. Could you look into it? Thanks.— Finell 20:59, 9 December 2009 (UTC)(To preserve the continuity of the conversation, I will watch for your reply here on your Talk page.)

Okay, I'm obviously stupid... but, why did you (or someone) remove my comment from the deletion page? here - Peter Ellis - Talk 11:10, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
Per the above results, would you mind issuing the indef block to Teleyonce ( talk · contribs)? Other clerks and admins seem to have been away for a while.

Should User talk:Tenmei have something about "The committee is not able to fulfill the role of a mentor, and regretfully moves to shift the responsibility of obtaining a mentor onto Tenmei." on it? Dougweller ( talk) 21:55, 10 December 2009 (UTC)
hello again, i have complains against User:TawsifSalam.
The 5th National Council of Bangladesh Nationalist Party article was created and written by User:TawsifSalam . It didn't meet the wikipedia NPOV standards when i first read it. it had the partial tone and also there was no mentioning of the strong criticisms the 5th BNP council received in the country. then every time i added some criticisms(with source) including poll results that the 5th BNP council has received, he either undid my edits or manipulated the lines in such ways that can only be reffered to as sneaky vandalism.
he even accused me of vandalising ( later he deleted this part of his comments in the article discussion page; which i re -added) only because i was re-adding lines that he had either undid or manipulated. i also noticed after seeing his contribution list that he is interested (most of the time) only in articles which relate to a particular political party.
So will you kindly suggest what can be done to achieve NPOV in the article and also what can be done about User:TawsifSalam. or is it my fault in any ways? Thanks Souvik.arko ( talk) 13:20, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the checkuser results of User:Windhover75 and User:Dalejenkins, please see Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Dalejenkins as another one seems to have sprung up, i.e. a new account's first edits is to renominate an article Dalejenkins had previously nominated and then to canvass (see warning on talke page of new account) in same manner as Dalejenkins which was discussed on ANI prior to block. Sincerely, -- A Nobody My talk 22:16, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

We may have had our differences in the past but I am confident you will do a superb job. Congratulations on a successful candidacy. -- GoRight ( talk) 02:42, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
Congratulations, Hersfold. Should be fun working together. Fritzpoll ( talk) 21:28, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
I hope that by [4] [5] you weren't implying that you agreed with GC's implication that I wasn't an independent admin (given AFAIK the only history is having given him a warning for edit warring previously [6]). PS Congrats. -- BozMo talk 20:10, 19 December 2009 (UTC)
You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Community de-adminship/Draft RfC re: a 'Motion to close', which would dissolve Cda as a proposal. The motion includes an !vote. You have previously commented at Wikipedia:WikiProject Administrator. Jusdafax 20:56, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
Since I got one wrong I thought I would go via you: User:LiberalJames and User:Amanuse both look possible Scibaby to me. -- BozMo talk 07:52, 23 December 2009 (UTC)
Thank you for being one of the people who has made 2009 such an interesting and enlightening year for me. It has certainly had its challenges, but also many highlights. I wish you peace and contentment in 2010, and a joyous holiday season to you and yours.
