I was going to take this up with can't sleep first, but their talk page is also protected. Cannabis (drug) is usually unprotected. It attracts the most vandalism of any page but no one seems to mind. Vandalism gets fixed seconds after it happens. However as you know many of Wikipedia's editors do not register a username, and there is no reason to deny them the opportunity to edit this article. Please reconsider, and also please ask can't sleep clown will eat me to unprotect their talk page as well. I know they protect it occasionally, but it's been protected for four days now. 199.125.109.32 04:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering why you deleted the page on Fagan? I did post a request to give me a little longer to finish the page.... Ashleyfagan 00:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC) user:ashleyfagan
In Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks you wrote: “The towers were not designed to withstand aircraft attacks, they were designed to withstand aircraft impacts. According to Collapse of the World Trade Center, they were designed in the 1960s to withstand an impact of a Boeing 707 at 180 mph, in the event one was lost in fog. The Boeing 767s that hit the towers were longer, wider, taller, could carry more fuel than the 707, and were traveling 440-540 mph.” You used selective quoting to prove a point. For honesty you should have written a reply including the articles second paragraph: “The National Institute of Standards and Technology, however, was unable to document the study reported by Robertson and FEMA. Instead it found a reference to a study of the effects of a Boeing 707 carrying 23,000 gallons of fuel hitting the buildings at 600 mph, which would not only be faster than either of the two planes that hit on 9/11 but with twice the fuel quantity.” Wayne 02:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
How long did you protect WP:NOR? It has been nearly two weeks, which is an unusually long time for a dispute protection. Dhaluza 12:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
I think your point of opposition has already been addressed. As noted in the discussion you can simply look at WP:FC which has already formatted a couple hundred lists in a main page friendly format. I hope you will reconsider your opposition after taking a look.-- TonyTheTiger ( t/ c/ bio/ tcfkaWCDbwincowtchatlotpsoplrttaDCLaM) 20:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Hi, thanks very much for the Good heart barnstar, but I was only doing what I felt was right, to fix my error in blocking newbies. Bearian 13:07, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
The article was about Tampa-based band Keyhole. The reason for deletion was certifying the importance of the band? This is a newer Central Fl based band but already one of the more well-known industrial acts in Central FL, opening for such national acts as Marazene and Sister Kill Cycle & receiving radio airplay. The article didn't express opinions and was just a statements of facts. Why was it deleted? Much lesser-known bands have wikis with no contesting or deletions. Badmunchkin 00:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Badmunchkin
there's plenty of localized bands on wikipedia - I'm not sure why neither marazene or SKC are here - I didn't realize it was a popularity contest. Here's one I found right offhand.

There has been nothing but vandalism and reverts on the article since at least Oct. 18, maybe earlier. So I think the article deserved protection. You're right though, I should've tried semi-protection first. Frankly, I totally forgot about the option when I did that. Thanks for correcting my mistake. - Mgm| (talk) 21:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

A couple of notes:
(1) I tested the "Other" by putting in the name of an actual article, in the "Create article!" box, and it dropped me into the pre-existing article. It would be nice if there was some way for it to check that the page didn't actually exist, for those who fail to search, or search properly.
(2) Have you considered using the existing Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Wizard-Introduction as the basis for your step-by-step create-an-article starting process? The Intro screen would no longer be needed, but the second screen ("Subject"), which now shows if you click "I would like to submit an article without registering", would be a nice starting point. (For what it's worth, I think it might have been built using the inputbox functionality of WikiMedia.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for responding to my RFA. I just would like to figure a couple things out. I'm not sure if you noticed, but in question 5 I think I addressed the comment in two ways 1)If it was a content dispute, or 2)if it were actually vandalism. If you don't mind, could you please reread my answer and maybe explain what I might have missed or what should have been done. Thanks, I just want to understand my mistakes so I'll be ready for the next RFA. Icestorm815 15:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Talk:Dan Jacobson (Taiwan). Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Jidanni 02:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I saw your comment on the VP. If you're planning on building a guide for article creation, you should probably take a look at the AFC process. It's a bit bare bones, but it should be a good start. Perhaps we should start an article creation bootcamp and award something like a medal or userbox for people who graduate? I had this plan earlier, but there is a LOT of material and policies to cover to make that work...- Mgm| (talk) 13:03, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

What were you doing? [1]. I strongly suggest that you contact Jimbo by email. While I have no desire to add to the burden of mail he receives, it is my invariable experience that a rational question will receive a civil, and usually comprehensive, answer. Always assuming his own response does not satisfy you, of course. Guy ( Help!) 20:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
(outdent)This is an interesting idea, Elonka; I'd like to spend more time thinking on this. A neutral and informed editor who has experience directly relevant to your question (in various areas) is Marskell ( talk · contribs). Since he edits mostly in fairly neutral areas, he's not agenda driven, but certainly has experience with agenda issues. He put a lot of time into WP:ATT (and saw the ups and downs of that), he reformed WP:FAR and he's now engaged in a workshop to propose some other changes to the community. You might want to query him; I think he'll give you some good feedback. On one hand, committee work like this may attract editors with a vested interest in a certain outcome, but it sounds like you've thought that part out in the composition of the committees. On the other hand, the committees can actually get something done by not having to deal with the policy and guideline trolls; the amount of time spent on trying to rework policies and guidelines is significant and not always fruitful.

Mr.Z-man, looks like the article that you had protected will never be unprotected. I would like to request for a peer review for the article Propaganda model. I personally do not like page protection but I don't like edit wars as well. Invite your fellow admins for the peer review as well. Unless something has to be done about it, I guess that the "Propaganda model" article wil be protected until all hell breaks loose or by 2009 (more plausible). Please discuss your thoughts in my talk page. Thanks. this is iaN 09:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC) (talk page is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ianlopez1115)
Hi. You added a {{ cleanup-list}} to List of people from The Bronx a while ago. What sort of cleanup did you have in mind? The tag says It may be poorly defined, unverified or indiscriminate. It seems like none of those things to me. The list is described as, These famous people all resided in The Bronx at some time in their lives. That seems pretty well defined. At one time, this was part of The Bronx, but was factored out to its own article. How would you improve the list? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
On the other hand, maybe this is just a dumb list after all. Replacing this entire list with catagory:People from The Bronx might be right thing to do. What do you think? -- RoySmith (talk) 00:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Z-man. While I can't argue that the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alustriel Silverhand was to delete, I note that the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qilué Veladorn resulted in a merge to Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms). Given that Alustriel is demonstrably more well-known and notable within the setting than Qilué, I believe a merger is more appropriate. As such, I'd like to ask you to userfy the deleted page so I can merge it into Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms). Thanks in advance! Powers T 16:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I fear my extra comment on the semi-protection request may have gone unnoticed, Yukon vandalism has been ongoing for months and represents more traffic on the site than real contributions.

The reason for the deletion was "Is basically a secrets guide.".
While I should agree with this from an external point of view, the primary goal of the page was to be a LIST of NDS games with GBA connectivity, just as there exist a List_of_Wii_Wi-Fi_Connection_games or plenty other Nintendo related lists ( I don't know how to internal link to categories, sorry). Added informations on the page specified what the connectivity consists in for each game, so it eventually turned it into a secret guide.
I don't want the page to be brought back as is but I feel sorry for the loss of informations collected so far. Would it be possible to undelete temporarily the last version of the article so that it could be reworked to match other lists criteria (without inner games details, or with those deported on the game article on wikipedia). If you don't think it's the right thing to do, can you at least mail me the last version so I could post the informations on another site maybe more appropriate (gamefaqs or other video games related site) and so the 1 year contributions of wikipedians to this article won't be lost.

An editor you blocked yesterday ( user:Pol64) is trolling once again, this time at the talk page for [WP:PAW]. There is further trolling by user:SqueakBox, including violation of posted instructions by admin to stop editing other users' posts.
I've also requested a checkuser on users Pol64 and Squeakbox - writing styles are extremely similar, and posts are showing up by one and then the other in very short order. - HolokittyNX 00:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
It is obvious that it is this kitty user who is doing the trolling, certainly not SqueakBox. Wikipedia does not need this kind of filth, and I do wonder why users who post this kind of trivialising of serious crimes are allowed to continue to edit wikipedia. It seems like an abuse of proivilege to me. Pol64 00:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Not right now you haven't and given Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/SqueakBox (3rd) I suggest you do not waste your time. This allegation, which is false, has been disproven by checkuser by 2 users who have access to checkuser as you can see from the link. Pol64 00:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I would like to know the reason behind your continued need to have the WRNY and WRRC articles deleted. The stations have licenses, hence they are notable. Just because they are in Rome, NY and Lawrenceville, NJ makes them not less notable. If these stations are deleted, then it opens up a "can of worms" that would give cause for each and every single radio station article to be deleted, no matter how notable. I encourage you to think before opening that can of worms and making WP:WPRS completely irrelavant. - NeutralHomer T: C 05:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey Z-man. You've recently blocked the above editor for 72 hours, for edit warring and general disruption; I'm not here to dispute that block at all. However, AMIB is currently a party to a RfM (located here), which has recently become active and which requires his participation, in that he is the only party on one "side" of the dispute.
Seeing as the RfM is concerning the article for which the user was blocked on, what would your position on unblocking him (pending a complete refrain from editing the related articles) in order to participate in this formal dispute resolution on these issues. Surely DR is a better alternative to blocking? Awaiting your response.

Yesterday there were relevent and reliably-sourced casualty figures added to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict article, and some editors objected to this. It seems you were called in to quickly "protect" the page from editing, effectively blocking the inclusion of the figures.

There are casualty figures in all the conflict, war, battle etc. Wiki articles I have referenced, why not this one? Thanks RomaC ( talk) 11:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

I was going to take this up with can't sleep first, but their talk page is also protected. Cannabis (drug) is usually unprotected. It attracts the most vandalism of any page but no one seems to mind. Vandalism gets fixed seconds after it happens. However as you know many of Wikipedia's editors do not register a username, and there is no reason to deny them the opportunity to edit this article. Please reconsider, and also please ask can't sleep clown will eat me to unprotect their talk page as well. I know they protect it occasionally, but it's been protected for four days now. 199.125.109.32 04:34, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Just wondering why you deleted the page on Fagan? I did post a request to give me a little longer to finish the page.... Ashleyfagan 00:13, 15 October 2007 (UTC) user:ashleyfagan
In Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks you wrote: “The towers were not designed to withstand aircraft attacks, they were designed to withstand aircraft impacts. According to Collapse of the World Trade Center, they were designed in the 1960s to withstand an impact of a Boeing 707 at 180 mph, in the event one was lost in fog. The Boeing 767s that hit the towers were longer, wider, taller, could carry more fuel than the 707, and were traveling 440-540 mph.” You used selective quoting to prove a point. For honesty you should have written a reply including the articles second paragraph: “The National Institute of Standards and Technology, however, was unable to document the study reported by Robertson and FEMA. Instead it found a reference to a study of the effects of a Boeing 707 carrying 23,000 gallons of fuel hitting the buildings at 600 mph, which would not only be faster than either of the two planes that hit on 9/11 but with twice the fuel quantity.” Wayne 02:51, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
How long did you protect WP:NOR? It has been nearly two weeks, which is an unusually long time for a dispute protection. Dhaluza 12:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

The article was about Tampa-based band Keyhole. The reason for deletion was certifying the importance of the band? This is a newer Central Fl based band but already one of the more well-known industrial acts in Central FL, opening for such national acts as Marazene and Sister Kill Cycle & receiving radio airplay. The article didn't express opinions and was just a statements of facts. Why was it deleted? Much lesser-known bands have wikis with no contesting or deletions. Badmunchkin 00:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)Badmunchkin
there's plenty of localized bands on wikipedia - I'm not sure why neither marazene or SKC are here - I didn't realize it was a popularity contest. Here's one I found right offhand.

There has been nothing but vandalism and reverts on the article since at least Oct. 18, maybe earlier. So I think the article deserved protection. You're right though, I should've tried semi-protection first. Frankly, I totally forgot about the option when I did that. Thanks for correcting my mistake. - Mgm| (talk) 21:11, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

A couple of notes:
(1) I tested the "Other" by putting in the name of an actual article, in the "Create article!" box, and it dropped me into the pre-existing article. It would be nice if there was some way for it to check that the page didn't actually exist, for those who fail to search, or search properly.
(2) Have you considered using the existing Wikipedia:Articles for creation/Wizard-Introduction as the basis for your step-by-step create-an-article starting process? The Intro screen would no longer be needed, but the second screen ("Subject"), which now shows if you click "I would like to submit an article without registering", would be a nice starting point. (For what it's worth, I think it might have been built using the inputbox functionality of WikiMedia.) -- John Broughton (♫♫) 01:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey, thanks for responding to my RFA. I just would like to figure a couple things out. I'm not sure if you noticed, but in question 5 I think I addressed the comment in two ways 1)If it was a content dispute, or 2)if it were actually vandalism. If you don't mind, could you please reread my answer and maybe explain what I might have missed or what should have been done. Thanks, I just want to understand my mistakes so I'll be ready for the next RFA. Icestorm815 15:42, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Talk:Dan Jacobson (Taiwan). Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Jidanni 02:36, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I saw your comment on the VP. If you're planning on building a guide for article creation, you should probably take a look at the AFC process. It's a bit bare bones, but it should be a good start. Perhaps we should start an article creation bootcamp and award something like a medal or userbox for people who graduate? I had this plan earlier, but there is a LOT of material and policies to cover to make that work...- Mgm| (talk) 13:03, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

What were you doing? [1]. I strongly suggest that you contact Jimbo by email. While I have no desire to add to the burden of mail he receives, it is my invariable experience that a rational question will receive a civil, and usually comprehensive, answer. Always assuming his own response does not satisfy you, of course. Guy ( Help!) 20:04, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
(outdent)This is an interesting idea, Elonka; I'd like to spend more time thinking on this. A neutral and informed editor who has experience directly relevant to your question (in various areas) is Marskell ( talk · contribs). Since he edits mostly in fairly neutral areas, he's not agenda driven, but certainly has experience with agenda issues. He put a lot of time into WP:ATT (and saw the ups and downs of that), he reformed WP:FAR and he's now engaged in a workshop to propose some other changes to the community. You might want to query him; I think he'll give you some good feedback. On one hand, committee work like this may attract editors with a vested interest in a certain outcome, but it sounds like you've thought that part out in the composition of the committees. On the other hand, the committees can actually get something done by not having to deal with the policy and guideline trolls; the amount of time spent on trying to rework policies and guidelines is significant and not always fruitful.

Mr.Z-man, looks like the article that you had protected will never be unprotected. I would like to request for a peer review for the article Propaganda model. I personally do not like page protection but I don't like edit wars as well. Invite your fellow admins for the peer review as well. Unless something has to be done about it, I guess that the "Propaganda model" article wil be protected until all hell breaks loose or by 2009 (more plausible). Please discuss your thoughts in my talk page. Thanks. this is iaN 09:14, 3 November 2007 (UTC) (talk page is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Ianlopez1115)
Hi. You added a {{ cleanup-list}} to List of people from The Bronx a while ago. What sort of cleanup did you have in mind? The tag says It may be poorly defined, unverified or indiscriminate. It seems like none of those things to me. The list is described as, These famous people all resided in The Bronx at some time in their lives. That seems pretty well defined. At one time, this was part of The Bronx, but was factored out to its own article. How would you improve the list? -- RoySmith (talk) 14:07, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
On the other hand, maybe this is just a dumb list after all. Replacing this entire list with catagory:People from The Bronx might be right thing to do. What do you think? -- RoySmith (talk) 00:36, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Z-man. While I can't argue that the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alustriel Silverhand was to delete, I note that the consensus at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Qilué Veladorn resulted in a merge to Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms). Given that Alustriel is demonstrably more well-known and notable within the setting than Qilué, I believe a merger is more appropriate. As such, I'd like to ask you to userfy the deleted page so I can merge it into Seven Sisters (Forgotten Realms). Thanks in advance! Powers T 16:26, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I undid your move of the Privatmusings thread to a subpage.

Hello. I fear my extra comment on the semi-protection request may have gone unnoticed, Yukon vandalism has been ongoing for months and represents more traffic on the site than real contributions.

Dearest Mr.Z-man,
Thank you for your participation in
my RFA, which closed successfully with 137 supports, 22 opposes, and 5 neutrals. Your kind words of support are very much appreciated and I look forward to proving you right. I would like to give special thanks to
The_undertow and
Phoenix-wiki for their co-nominations. Thank you again and best regards.
The reason for the deletion was "Is basically a secrets guide.".
While I should agree with this from an external point of view, the primary goal of the page was to be a LIST of NDS games with GBA connectivity, just as there exist a List_of_Wii_Wi-Fi_Connection_games or plenty other Nintendo related lists ( I don't know how to internal link to categories, sorry). Added informations on the page specified what the connectivity consists in for each game, so it eventually turned it into a secret guide.
I don't want the page to be brought back as is but I feel sorry for the loss of informations collected so far. Would it be possible to undelete temporarily the last version of the article so that it could be reworked to match other lists criteria (without inner games details, or with those deported on the game article on wikipedia). If you don't think it's the right thing to do, can you at least mail me the last version so I could post the informations on another site maybe more appropriate (gamefaqs or other video games related site) and so the 1 year contributions of wikipedians to this article won't be lost.

An editor you blocked yesterday ( user:Pol64) is trolling once again, this time at the talk page for [WP:PAW]. There is further trolling by user:SqueakBox, including violation of posted instructions by admin to stop editing other users' posts.
I've also requested a checkuser on users Pol64 and Squeakbox - writing styles are extremely similar, and posts are showing up by one and then the other in very short order. - HolokittyNX 00:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
It is obvious that it is this kitty user who is doing the trolling, certainly not SqueakBox. Wikipedia does not need this kind of filth, and I do wonder why users who post this kind of trivialising of serious crimes are allowed to continue to edit wikipedia. It seems like an abuse of proivilege to me. Pol64 00:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
Not right now you haven't and given Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/SqueakBox (3rd) I suggest you do not waste your time. This allegation, which is false, has been disproven by checkuser by 2 users who have access to checkuser as you can see from the link. Pol64 00:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I would like to know the reason behind your continued need to have the WRNY and WRRC articles deleted. The stations have licenses, hence they are notable. Just because they are in Rome, NY and Lawrenceville, NJ makes them not less notable. If these stations are deleted, then it opens up a "can of worms" that would give cause for each and every single radio station article to be deleted, no matter how notable. I encourage you to think before opening that can of worms and making WP:WPRS completely irrelavant. - NeutralHomer T: C 05:53, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey Z-man. You've recently blocked the above editor for 72 hours, for edit warring and general disruption; I'm not here to dispute that block at all. However, AMIB is currently a party to a RfM (located here), which has recently become active and which requires his participation, in that he is the only party on one "side" of the dispute.
Seeing as the RfM is concerning the article for which the user was blocked on, what would your position on unblocking him (pending a complete refrain from editing the related articles) in order to participate in this formal dispute resolution on these issues. Surely DR is a better alternative to blocking? Awaiting your response.

I think that we can call the decommission discussion solved as far as mediation is required. Those from WikiProject Highways would like to thank you for your involvement with the mediation.

Yesterday there were relevent and reliably-sourced casualty figures added to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict article, and some editors objected to this.

You cited "edit warring," the more accurate term would be repeated reverts from those who did not like the figures for political reasons. There are casualty figures in all the conflict, war, battle etc. Wiki articles I have referenced, why not this one? Thanks RomaC ( talk) 11:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
I saw that you deleted this article - a quick look through the history shows that the article was not always copyvio - it was changed to copyvio by an IP in February, was quickly reverted, and then changed back without anybody noticing in March. I've restored the non-copyvio versions - please check article histories thoroughly before deleting for copyvio, however. Phil Sandifer ( talk) 16:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
The one saying that I am like the moderator of the NHS Page is kind of a little thing to keep vandaliser's away. I do keep a look out for the NHS article because i am an alumni from there. But I am not imposing ownership on it. The reason I revert alot of the edits make to the NHS page lately is because people have been deleting encyclopedic material. Like the last change that was made they said that it was uncyclopedic material and that it was promotional, i undid that revision. Sorry if there was confusion and please message me if you have any more questions. have a great day! Chrismaster1 18:26, 5 September 2007
In addition, I saw the thing about me on the Wiki thing about vandalism. I posted the bitch slappin thing to get people to quit deleting stuff about the band. So that's why I said what I said to get people to stop deleting the band. By the way, If you happen to run into justtoletyouknow6 i think thats his name, tell him to send me a message.

Mr. Z-Man, I was wondering how do you become an administrator on Wikipedia? If you could please tell me how on my talk page, I'd greatly appreciate it. chrismaster1 19:52, 13 January 2008
