Blanking Redirect

Sorry about blanking the Pokeyman page. I've never requested a delete before, so i wasn't sure on how to do it. Thanks for your help. Danlock2 20:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A bit premature

The Cruzados redirect was listed so that Los Cruzados could be moved. At this point the move is agreed upon, but since the redirect has been edited an admin is needed to delete it. I commented about this here. --evrik ^(talk) 21:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry

I didn't understand that, thank you for correcting the problem. I suggested a move of Chabad-Lubavitch to Chabad based on a rationale on the talk page (at the bottom of the former) that shows that Chabad is by far the most common name, and making Chabad-Lubavitch a redirect. Nobody has raised any objections to this suggestion in over a week - but I can't move it because I am not an administrator.

Would you be willing to do it - if you tell me when, I would happily tidy up all the (12 i think) redirects. David Spart (talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log) 20:37, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Help with Unholy Alliance

I'm having some trouble from a guy who opposed the original article and keeps deleting links on this dab page. Also, please check the latest link to Callahan for correctness. It goes out to 2 external links that refer back to at least 7 internal ones. (I'm happy with it.) MBHiii 20:01, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's an ADMIN User:Ezeu doing something I don't understand. Can you check Talk:Unholy_Alliance? Thanks, MBHiii 00:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please review seemingly concerted, determined effort to prevent display of information on Unholy and Unholy Alliance. 68.221.0.14 11:36, 12 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A block user stating his forgiveness.

uh hi, I'm User:67.164.35.55 (sorry if my grammer is terrible, I'm am not good at Language Arts). I'm sorry about the vandalism, I thought that by delecting content on Template:Final Fantasy [1]series (which I accidently delectly Others on template and since the rest of the text I delected didn't need to be included (they are minor links) ) and Boktai[2] (which I the Django section was already in the article Characters in the Boktai series) would be ok and I didn't want that to in my talk page (I never read about Wikipedia's rule on Vandalism or the rest of their rules). and I guess my temper got a hold of me, please forgive me. so I hope you'll read this so you will understand my forgiveness.

Deletion Review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of requested articles. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. 69.140.164.142 05:08, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Thanks for fixing that - I'd been trying, but hitting edit conflicts while simultaneously talking on the phone! A Musing 14:58, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You).

I have already listed this article under the requests for a move (WP:RM) to These Foolish Things, but I would additionally like to have the original article deleted. As I've explained in the discussion section for These Foolish Things (Remind Me Of You), there is only one song with name "These Foolish Things". Preserving it as a redirect should be unnecessary. The page should be moved first, then the original link should be deleted.

Red Sox roster page

I had planned to write this as soon as I could but you had already made your edit, so here goes. Per WP:WPBB, we are currently standardizing all of the roster pages and moving them to templates. The Red Sox already had both a roster page and a template: roster page. After reading the edit history of the Boston Red Sox roster page I noticed that you had made a change from a redirect from the template page to the current roster on the team page. It seems like the right thing to do, but here is my dilema.

The histories of the roster page and the template: roster page really need to be merged and, as far as I can tell, I have to make the roster page a redirect to get that done. I fully planned on redirecting to the Red Sox main page after that. If you know an easier way to get this done I'm all ears. ThanksRobDe68 22:24, 27 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I should just search my memory banks before typing. I dealt with this very same thing before but forgot how I did it. It all came back to me and histories are being merged as we speak. Thanks RobDe68 01:49, 28 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah

I'm a slow typer. They're up there now --Closedmouth 13:30, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

No problem :) --Closedmouth 13:34, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

I want to thank you for alerting me of "my edits". I was phished on Wikipedia and my MySpace. It wasn't me. I have since changed my password, so it won't happen again. I have not been on the computer since 6:30 EDT this morning. I am very mad that this happened because I was hoping to achieve admin status by '08, now, with that on my record, it is not going to happen. Thanks again. Gdk 411 18:59, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

MTorrent/UTorrent move

Please help move MTorrent to UTorrent cleanly and completely. The product is named uTorrent (see documentation), its article should be named that. Okay, so copy/paste moves are prohibited (I didn't know that either). By undoing this move(albeit performed incorrectly), and just leaving it as before, you're once again obstructing common sense, and consensus. I as a non-admin cannot perform the series of deletes/moves to accomplish what's needed. Please do so. --Lexein 19:40, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, stricken, and WP:RM it is. However, I have indeed lost patience, as noted here. Rhetoric? Just words, which can be stricken. Rhetoric is not destructive. Policy-gaming and sycophantic admins, and the founder of WP -they're destructive. I'll tone down the rhetoric. Just make sure those other guys tone down the raping and pillaging. Oh, and feel free to delete this. I don't rv other's user pages. In fact, my record speaks for itself. --Lexein 20:43, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't aware that copy paste moves weren't allowed per WP policy. However your claim that it violates the GFDL is false. Please point out the relevant portion of the license that you think it violates. --Dr. WTF 00:35, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There is nothing in the GFDL that restricts copy-paste moves. Please cite the appropriate part of the actual license, not WP policy pages. --Dr. WTF 00:48, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the intent is to maintain a clear document trail, in a way that copy/paste cannot. --Lexein

Re: RfD

You're right, the '''keep''' was a last minute thought so people could browse through the log. I'll change it. John Reaves (talk) 21:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was? I'll double-check the stuff I removed as duplicate then. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:00, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your input on this article. -Rebent 01:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The event in which Bob Sheldon was shot is notable.

In 2006, February 21 was officially declared Bob Sheldon Day by the town of Chapel Hill with a large memorial service to commemorate his contributions, not just to this community, but to the world at large: Bob founded Internationalist Books and was extremely active in political circles. His murder is yet unsolved and curious.

Among other things, Bob was well-known to direct action to help further peace and justice in our world. Now that more than a decade has passed, it is finally acknowledged that his dedication to these principles may be related to his death. There is reason to believe that paranoid members of the U.S. federal government in 1991 may have been involved in the shooting. Bob's death occurred within 48 hours of Bush's orders to begin the ground war. Those of us who were grieving Bob's death at the time could not help but notice.

Until Bob Sheldon's death is solved, people can only conjecture, although Bob had no enemies in his personal life. He operated on true communist and socialist ideology which made him a friend to anyone who may ever have engaged him in-person, for any reason. The process by which authorities attempted to stage a robbery to explain it failed within a couple of weeks, when his cash box was found more or less untouched with all the store's meager earnings in it. The initial claim of robbery was a farce, anyway. The store was neither large nor lucrative. Those of us who knew Bob know that if someone had entered his store to rob it, Bob would have offered more money than he had available on-site. Bob may even have offered to let them live and work with him. Any potential robber would have fared much better with Bob alive; the community at large knew this, including those who may have been driven to desperate measures. Bob had enough political clout, however, to worry right-wing conservatives in power. Bob definitely had ideological enemies of the state.

There are links to real newspaper articles about the significance of Bob's fatal assault on February 21, 1991 in Wikipedia's own listing for Internationalist Books. Perhaps review this.

It is offensive and disturbing to see the explanation of removing the event as having been due to Bob Sheldon being "unnotable." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Richard rocking (talk • contribs) 12:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

matt mccoy

I cited secondary sources for Matt McCoy. I don't understand why you removed it. He is an artist with Vineyard Music Record Label.

Railfan Window deletion proposal

Thank you for your editing help with my nomination. It will help me in future. For the record, the page's creator is very much aware of requests to delete his pages. This isn't the first time. He ignores whatever other people offer him in the way of advice. I'm not trying to discourage him from participating -far from it. But creating pages for its own sake - there is a sandbox here for that.

I stand by my nomination. I don't know if you know the creator of the page "error 46146" personally, but I'm not sure I'd characterize him as you did. At any rate, I think you'll see the debate page has some pretty good reasons for deletion. 23:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)Raryel

%s redirect

I saw that you closed the RfD for %s → Main Page here. After discussion on the %s talk page, there was nearly unanimous support for switching back to a plain redirect. I just wanted to let you know so that you didn't think I was just reverting your actions or doing something else that was stupid. Cheers. --MZMcBride 20:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Count

Hi,

It's been a while, I hope you've been well. My question is: Is there an accurate link or something in Wikipedia where I can find out my current edit count?

Thanks -- Michael David 23:39, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll try them. Thanks, as always, for your help.

Be healthy. -- Michael David 00:36, 19 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I have left the notice below on User talk:^demon, but would welcome your assistance if it does not work. "Can you please undelete Sydney Cohen. He clearly passes WP:PROF, being a Fellow of the Royal Society as is noted in the article."- Newport 21:14, 21 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Jdh30

You just deleted my user page and its history. Could you also delete my talk page and its history, please? Jon Harrop 23:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In reply: Yes, could you please delete everything that you can of mine including my talk page. Many thank, Jon. Jon Harrop 22:26, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- JLaTondre 22:33, 23 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wimzie House

I am questioning why you said it shouldn't be speedily deleted as it was speedily deleted in the past and author was warned not to put it back on. I suggest you read the history and the author's talk page. 172.130.82.201 14:46, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The previous versions were deleted as {{db-nonsense}} and were not created by User:Nate Speed. The {{db-repost}} only applies to identical content. Nate Speed's version was neither nonsense nor a repost. The only warnings Nate Speed received regarding this page were incorrect warnings. -- JLaTondre 14:54, 26 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Changing my talk archives

Hi, I'm just wondering why you changed my user talk archives? They worked, they weren't bothering anyone, in fact I doubt they were of any interest to anyone, so why fiddle? If there was a naming policy I hadn't absolutely and completely adhered to then perhaps it would have been nicer to have pointed it out and allowed me to make the change whilst offering to do it for me.

Video blog article

Hi JLaTondre,

I'm looking to get the video blog article expanded and I noticed you've contributed to the article in the past. It would be great if you could check it out again. It could use some help. Thanks! Pdelongchamp 22:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GFDL

Your comment on my talk page about listing the contributors *only* applies to Modified versions of the article. Not to Verbatim versions. Wjhonson 02:28, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whether it's *easy* is not the issue. The issue is whether it's *required*. The requirement is a matter of opinion and interpretation. The WikiMedia Foundation has not stated one way or the other what it's own views are. So any Wikipedian trying to compel other's to believe one way or the other, isn't going to fly. Wjhonson 17:59, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And there is no "Title Page", there is a Title, it doesn't have a page. It appears on the same page as the Article. The license was meant for material which would have a seperate title page. To assume that for Wikiuse the Title page is the history is not a supported view. Wjhonson 18:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AFD

When I was posting my reply, AFD debate was going on. I didn't know it was closed, I merely posted my reply. And I am still at a lost why this was closed,considering few more days still left till the actual closing date.And what amazes me even further is the decision to keep(or non consensus)when there is a clear vote-rigging by the side which voted to keep it. If you carefully look at keep votes, there were 4 IP votes, and 3 clear sock-puppets votes among them. And further 2 other keep votes were belong to new users with no proper contributions in Wikipedia.Iwazaki ^{会話。討論} 12:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
