ORANGE MIKE PUT THE PROTECT ON AND IVE REQUESTED HE TAKE IT OFF SINCE I DO HAVE MAJOR EDITS SO ITS NOT A PROMO FOR THE RADIO SHOW AND ITS HOST ILL TAKE ANY HELP I CAN GET THANKU!! Henslee57 ( talk) 04:30, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Please do not type in all-caps. It's quite rude. Before I offer any more help, I have a question: is more than one person using your account? According to this, it appears so. Further, it appears that you're using this account in an official capacity for the radio program/station in question. Is that the case? -- Kesh ( talk) 04:35, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Your Answer is on my talk page Henslee57 ( talk) 05:07, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, just wanted to remind you that you might wanted to be careful with the automated Twinkle edits. I got this message on my talk page notifying me that I'd recreated an article and that CSD G4 applied to it. Well, I did happen to be the admin closing the DRV discussion that endorsed said deletion in the first place. I was just creating a redirect, which was why I was the first contributor. Best, IronGargoyle ( talk) 20:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello! Well, I apologize if the notice was an inconvenience. The article has been recreated at least three times since it was deleted at AfD about a week ago, and someone has done it again, hence the CSD. Unless someone is willing to revert it to a redirect and then protect it, we're probably going to be dealing with a lot of recreations on this. -- Kesh ( talk) 22:06, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Not an inconvenience at all. Just a polite reminder to be careful with Twinkle (I was under the impression that you thought I'd recreated it). I'll let others sort out that article since I closed the DRV. Best, IronGargoyle ( talk) 22:18, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

The thing with Twinkle is that when you mark an item for Speedy, it automatically notifies whoever created the article. So, I had no control over that aspect. :) I reverted the article back to a redirect and requested it be protected like that at WP:RFPP. Thanks for clearing up what was going on there! I haven't visited DRV in a few days, due to work, so I missed that this was even brought up there. -- Kesh ( talk) 23:31, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Sorry about that, but I didn't know what to do. David Eppstein deleted the article that I wrote. I'd like to try to have it back on Wiki. What can I do? -- Little sawyer ( talk) 21:50, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

First thing is to contact the deleting admin and discuss it with them. If that doesn't resolve things, you can request a review at DRV. Just be sure to follow the directions on the page. There's a link you click on to create the new discussion, and a template message you have to fill in to create the DRV discussion. Just don't paste the article itself there, as that messes with things. If you decide to do the DRV, and are unsure of the process, let me know and I'll post it for you. -- Kesh ( talk) 22:26, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello Kesh. How are you? I saw your name somewhere! I have nominated the article Richard Dawkins for the FA status. Can you make some contributions for the article? Regards, Masterpiece2000 ( talk) 13:52, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

Why did you delete this article? I just spent three days dealing with three different admins and was approved by Discospinster to have this article online. I am sorry for my tone but I can't keep dealing with all these admins opinions. No article will ever satisfy everyone and it's not fair to have me keep defending my post just because someone decides they don't like it, or has no meaning to them etc. An Admins decision should be respected by all other admins otherwise what is the use? Can you please repost the article?

Thanks Succisa75 ( talk) 16:40, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reformatting it for me. In regards to the article reading more like a resume than an encyclopedia entry, I definitely see your point. I will try and rectify that.

The image GreeenbrierHIghSCHOOL.jpg had the right fair rational use. ```` —Preceding unsigned comment added by The1edit ( talk • contribs) 03:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC) The1edit ( talk) 03:12, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Fair use is only for images that cannot be duplicated by someone going out and taking a photo of the subject. The rationale given for the image was that it was from the school's website and that someone could go take a photograph anyway.

If you want a photo of the school, just have someone local take a photo and upload it to Wikipedia as a free image. -- Kesh ( talk) 12:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for tidying up the archive box - looks good. One problem though - you also archived some active threads at the same time. I am going to unarchive those threads which have activity in the last six months. Hope you understand, best wishes, DuncanHill ( talk) 21:50, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

None of those threads had been touched since February. I figure if no one has discussed them in a month, they're dead. Going back six months is a bit much. -- Kesh ( talk) 22:58, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
