And what perfectly good valid edit are we talking aobut here? Thanks. --Mikedk9109 15:21, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

May I apologize on behalf of this user, Mikedk9101, as I have had numerous problems with him. Mikedk got rid of a bunch of stuff off Mark Calaway page and upset me and was acting stubborn for a long time so excuse him. He is selfish and inconsiderate and can't help it Tonetare 22:14, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Please excuse this user above me. He is just a user that trys to start arguments with everyone that he can. He is smart and obnoxious, and has a history of being blocked. --Mikedk9109 23:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

So let me get this right, your saying this is a current event, so it isnt notable. It is, how about the Unforgiven bit? Thats not nearly as important. The people in Montreal have been booing Michaels for 9 years. They decided not to boo him. I say thats more significant than some Hell in a Cell match. So, it needs to stay. Thanks. --Mikedk9109 00:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

It doesn't matter if its not world wide news. Its still important to this article. And PPV's arent notable by nature. People just think they are such a big deal and are a must have in every wrestling article. --Mikedk9109 00:28, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't argue over everything. This is notable. Besides, I would expect this from an ignorant user who only has 169 edits. And thinks they know everything about Wikipedia, and wrestling articles. --Mikedk9109 00:35, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

I didn't say I was Mr. Popular. I'm not on here to make friends. You don't know anything about my past business and it's harldy anything aobut some hissy fits why I left WP. You don't have any reason to keep deleting that except that you say its "non notable". I will continue to put it in. --Mikedk9109 22:31, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Image:Pinkpromo.jpg

You said: "Can you please tell me how you want me to sort this problem? I found the image as part of a press pack to accompany the music video, which I assumed was allowed under "an image freely provided to promote an item, as in a promotional photo in a press packet", but as stated, I couldn't find a relevant title in the drop down menu. Thanks! ... If you've got a problem with this image, I'd like an answer how to sort it please. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do to prevent it being deleted. Thanks!"

As indicated, you need a detailed fair-use rationale. The license text has a link to a page which describes this requirement in more detail. Thanks. --Yamla 00:34, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

List of famous tall men

The ppl getting added are not notable, and some incorrect info it being added. I don't6 see you editing there unless you log out to redit thus ignoring the £RR rule yourself(Halbared 14:46, 1 September 2006 (UTC))

Why have you removed Ian Thorpe . He is 6ft 5 and size 17 feet. He is probably the most famous swimmer in the world. PLease don't remove it. Google him type Ian Thorpe 6ft and it will show you. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 18:26, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Re: Johnny Depp

Somebody keeps deleting a very popular cult role of Depp's (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas) from his notable roles, & adding a film where he has a very, very small role (Platoon) to replace it. I just keep reverting it back to what is sufficient for a notable roles section. I'm doing nothing wrong. It sounds childish to say "he did it first!," but the section was stable for a while before whoever keeps changing it began to. So, if you wanna get technical, "they started it." I don't believe an edit should be kept in "fairness" if it's an absolutely absurd, completely untrue personal bias (in this case, just because this person loves Platoon doesn't make a two minute role "notable" to an actor with as varied & popular a career as Depp). ―Anthonylombardi 00:11, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

You left the first message to me on my account when I was signed out, as an anonymous user, complaining about me reverting the notable roles on Johnny Depp's page. Just letting you know I'm doing nothing wrong. Anthonylombardi 10:53, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

"Admitted?" I'm not conceding to a crime here, I wasn't purposely signing out - I simply wasn't signed in & forgot to do so. My internet browser normally has me automatically signed in to all my accounts, & I was having a problem with my browser, & I was unaware that I wasn't signed in. I wasn't intentionally signing out to undo edits; rather, my browser gave me problems & I was fixing edits that were personally biased (against the neutral point of view rule).

Height lists

celebheights.com has been proven on many discussion pages as unreliable, Please read This Thank You. DXRAW 12:52, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

If you look at our guideline on reliable sources, it says that Wikipedia is not a reliable site because 1) anyone can edit it and 2) we don't have pre-publication fact-checking mechanisms. The same is true of celebhieghts, so it is also not a reliable source, and shouldn't be used to support anything. DXRAW 21:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Inless that site removes the unsourced heights or cites every single height then its not a WP:RS. DXRAW 06:40, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Birth date and age template (Naomi Watts)

You said that this template has no point. I believe it does.

My reasoning for using it is as follows:

1. While editors may think that it's simple math that anyone can do on their own, the truth is many adults cannot easily do the math. I know several who would have to think about it.
2. It makes an infobox, which is basically a quick reference, even quicker to use.
3. It does no harm. Not very much space is taken up by "(age:XX)".
4. It automatically links the date so that user preferences display the date correctly.

The template has already survived a nomination for deletion and passed by an overwhelming majority. I'm aware that it's not in WikiProject:Biographies but that doesn't mean that it's pointless.

This is completely unacceptable. Wikipedia does not work well under these sorts of threats. Any further behaviour like this and you will be blocked, Lieutenant Dol Green. --Yamla 17:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

3RR warning

Please see WP:3RR. You are not currently in violation of this but you have made three edits to List of famous tall men in the past 24 hours and it is not clear whether this is simple reversion of vandalism. Nevertheless, I am providing you a warning because you are in danger of violating it. When two parties both violate 3RR, both parties must be blocked for the same amount of time. --Yamla 17:09, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
