Mikri Arktos

Dear CIreland, I trust I am not taking up too much of your time and space. I have created in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eva_Evangelakou a revised article about Mikri Arktos as you suggested. I'd appreciate it if you could review it so as to lift the deletion. Thanks.

Mikri Arktos

Dear CIreland,thanks for your time in explaining the procedure - I shall do as you adviced. Eva Evangelakou

Dear CIreland, I am still waiting for a reply to my request for a review on the deletion of Mikri Arktos article. I am aware that you are extremely busy, albeit, I'd appreciate a response. Yours.

When I saw the article, I wasn't sure that there was much of an assertion of notability, and there was no mention that the book had been reviewed in a major metropolitan newspaper. I left a message on the article's talk page that I trust your judgment on this one. :) DarkAudit 18:33, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Re: Jakers!

I think you're notifying the wrong user regarding the recently deleted List of Jakers! The Adventures of Piggley Winks episodes. I merely took pre-existing content from the article on Piggley Winks assuming in good faith that it was not copyrighted and put it in its own article. You would probably be better off looking at the edit history of Piggley Winks and figuring out who posted the copyrighted material in the first place, then notifying that user.

Also, the notice you placed on my talk page did not include the URL where the copyrighted material was found at.

Thanks for reading and happy editing! --Jtalledo (talk) 23:39, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, sorry, I didn't realised you'd de-merged the text from another article. At least the Piggley Winks article no longer contains copyvio text. I don't know what happened to the URL, for the record, the text was taken from [1]. I'll remove the copyright boilerplate from your talk page since it it was someone else's mistake. Hope this is OK.

Anti-Scientology

This is a legitimate religion that is still in the paperwork process. What is the problem with trying to get more attention towards it.

The problem is that Wikipedia is not a vehicle for 'getting more attention'. You need to demonstrate that this religion is notable. This basically means providing independent reliable sources that have written about Anti-Scientology. These pages, WP:NOTABILITY and WP:RELIABLE have guidelines for what is required. CIreland 14:18, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick reply. And I didn't mean to use the Wiki as a 'vehicle', I will gather the appropriate information.

FuzzyMemories - RHKlein

I saw where you had tagged the FuzzyMemories article for speedy deletion.

RE: Cinemax Pictures & Production Co. redirect

RE Motion Interactive

I tagged it as blatant advertising since both the "references" are company press releases. I'd like to have an admin look at the page, but if you decided to remove the speedy delete tags and list it at AFD, I wouldn't mind too much. Black Harry (Highlights|Contribs) 17:19, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm going to remove the G4 tag and leave the G11 and see what happens. If it survives, I will send it to afd, if no-one else does so first. CIreland 17:26, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

As a follow up, it looks like an admin speedied it due to spam. Eventually I think we'll see the article get created again. Black Harry (Highlights|Contribs) 02:50, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid an admin has already deleted it. Even if you are old friends, it is unlikely that he owns the copyright on the text - even if he did he would have to release it for us to use it.

Toofy is REAL!!

I take particular offense at your hate crime directed towards Toofy McBrush as his ultimate sacrifice that he made so that you could enjoy Christmas. The real crime here is not that the current readers were robbed of Toofy, it is that our children and children's children will never know of Toofy thanks to your ignorant editing. Your attempts to silence and eliminate Toofy from history have been in vain. There is an active Toofy Truth Movement that is progressively gaining power in Washington.

Your RfA's formatting

Good afternoon, and congrats on your nomination for Adminship. I wish you the best of luck in your request, and hope that you get the mop without trouble. I have a quick question for you, though. You may notice that the RfA template includes a Tally next to the Userlinks and General Comments, rather than at the top as normal. We've been discussing a different format, and would like to try it out on an RfA. Please see the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship#Proposal: Relocate tally for more information. This note is basically to let you know that the tally has been deliberately moved in the template, that it isn't in the wrong place, and - unless you'd prefer to have it at the top, as normal - we'd like to see if it works in its new placement. It's your RfA, so by all means - feel free to move it if you so wish. But, since there's been some confusion, I thought I'd mention it. Thanks, and again - good luck.

Thankyou for your message and information about the three revert rule.
I did not realise I was in a content dispute. Another user, IngleburnProtector (more like IngleburnAdvertiser), has been reverting the referenced content I have provided with his/her own content that is not referenced and is mostly of a non NPOV and uses flowery marketing-style language. I believe I was simply upholding the NPOV policy.

Template:User

Your rejection seems to totally ignore WP:BOLD. Protection is put in place to stop blatant disruption. Changes don't need to be discussed before they're made, only after. What I'm doing is in good faith, so I should be able to make a bold change. If it turns out there's some kind of problem, it can be quickly reverted.

In any case, even if you disagree, please comment at Template talk:User#Altering template-user to allow for Interwiki.. ☯  Zenwhat (talk) 08:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

I did not "totally ignore WP:BOLD", I simply read it more closely. In particular the section WP:BOLD#Non-article namespaces, where it states (contrary to your assertions):

• Blatant disruption is not the only reason some templates are protected.
• Changes to such templates should be discussed first.

Moreover, please remember that it is the admin who edits the protected page that has to be bold, not the person who requests the edit. CIreland (talk) 12:12, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Peter Power (crisis management specialist)

The disputes on this pages have continued to rumble on, and now an editor claiming to be the subject themself has turned up with their own suggested text, which Patrick56 has promptly used. Getting a bit boring now. Nick Cooper (talk) 08:40, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The dispute effectively began with the edit of 7 February 2008, prior to which there had been no change since 24 October 2007. The difference between the latter and my edit of 08:41 today [4], shows that the only substantial difference in the text is the detail of the subject working for Dorset Police and his subsequent departure from it. Patrick56 (and Martinfud) objected to this being included, initially on account of where the information was sourced, so I subsequently pared it down to the original press reports on the matter, cited appropriately. Patrick56 continues to object, but has shown no desire to rationally debate the issue, merely insisting that it is "not important". Unfortunately, since leaving my above message, Patrick56 replaced the page with a version written by the subject himself, which hardly seems appropriate.
