Darren Mack image

Yes, Image:Darren Mack.jpg should be undeleted. The image is irreplaceable because he is incarcerated, serving life sentence. I found the image here. Reverend X (talk) 18:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Allright, thanks. Reverend X (talk) 18:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Delete warnings

Doesn't seem like you are giving any warning before deleting images. Maybe the uploader is getting one. One of the bots gave warnings on the article talk pages to give others a chance to fix license issues. -Fnlayson (talk) 18:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, can you specify which image(s) you're referring to? Spellcast (talk) 18:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

• Image:Helicopter air mail, 1947 .jpg and Image:First B-1, Palmdale.jpg are the 2 I saw on my watchlist today. -Fnlayson (talk) 19:50, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
  • OK, thanks tagging those and all. -Fnlayson (talk) 22:42, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Possible sock puppet

Hi, you blocked User:86.29.132.226 for very offensive vandalism. On that IP's talk page, User:Bsrboy made the exact same offensive vandalism and then undid it [1]. This has me suspecting that they might be the same person. Could you please check this? Thank you TheProf - T / C 22:19, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Bsrboy also left a block notice on User talk:172.200.86.155 despite the fact he's not an admin and this IP user is not blocked, as you see here i removed it by blanking the page. As for the image problem, i'll remove it shortly :-) Thanks TheProf - T / C 22:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I want to go offline soon, can you point out which part of Wikipedia:NFCC states a non-free image can't be used in user space? It'll save me some time! Cheers TheProf - T / C 22:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, i'll remove it now and go offline. Have a nice night :-) TheProf - T / C 22:39, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Protection of Frosty, Heidi & Frank

Thanks for stepping in there. I couldn't keep up with the changes fast enough to try and fix it. I wonder what happened there? Tnxman307 (talk) 19:41, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

I don't know how.

I don't know how to scale down images on Wikipedia. The userboxes on my page are gigantic and I don't knowhow to scale them down because they take up too much room. Please respond,--RayquazaDialgaWeird2210 (talk) 13:28, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Deleted articles

Hi, I noticed that you deleted the articles Playboy's Top Party Schools 2002 and Playboy's Top Party Schools 2006 that I created (under a different user name). They were deleted through WP:PROD, but as far as I can see no warning was given to the creator. As the articles were both well written, formatted and sourced, I believe using PROD as opposed to WP:AFD was in error. I was going to put the articles up for deletion review, but I thought I'd contact you first to ask if you might restore the articles. If then you wish to nominate them for deletion, and let them go through the normal process of community debate, then that is fine with me.

Note that I am not interested in discussing the merits or viability of the articles with you through our respective talk pages, and will not engage in any such discussion. The reason for this is that I believe AfD is the correct forum for such a discussion, and to go through the arguments here would be redundant. Many thanks. Lampman ^{Talk to me!} 13:52, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick response. I actually thought about moving the lists over to Party school, which happens to be under AfD at the moment, so we'll see how it goes. Thanks anyway. Lampman ^{Talk to me!} 15:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Abacuss

I apologize for reporting User talk:Abacuss more than once. I didn't realize you had blocked the user, as I didnt see a notice on the user's talk page. Flibirigit (talk) 19:59, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

hello

Please let this free image, Image:Angel Locsin.jpg exist.Thankyou {Mhtsw (talk) 05:24, 16 April 2008 (UTC)}

I don't think so; I understand that you want to help, but you're doing it in a disruptive way in order to illustrate your point. Your fanaticism and fanboyism of Angel Locsin doesn't apply here, as Wikipedia editors are expected to provide neutral and favorable contributions, not turn the article into a fan site. Any more and a block, or worse, a ban can be imposed on you for your disruption. Thank you. Blake Gripling (talk) 05:57, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for Neo Steam deletion

Thanks for jumping in on Neo Steam. I tried to give the editor a chance, but he was getting a bit too much and I am thankful for a third person's intervention, Wikipedia:Consensus RULES! --Triwbe (talk) 07:40, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Block?

I was wondering if you could block this user. All of his edits have been vandalism to Lambda Chi Alpha. thanks Jrssr5 17:53, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Spellcast ... FYI, you recently blocked 64.216.119.125 (talk · contribs) for one year, but neglected to put a notice on their talk page ... Happy Editing! — 72.75.110.142 (talk) _{00:00, 17 April 2008 (UTC)}

Thnx for the notice ... I was unaware of the MediaWiki:Blockedtext notification, but I thought that there should be a record of the block in their Talk page history for future reference ... Happy Editing! — 72.75.110.142 (talk) _{12:21, 17 April 2008 (UTC)}

AIV action

Two days in a row, now, on WP:AIV you've restored my faith in the usefulness of admins. My experiences with (and opinions of) most Admins here is not so good. Thanks. Rcooley (talk) 12:14, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Livesky.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Livesky.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. NotifyBot (talk) 13:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

i just want to sincerely apologize for what happened in the neo steam article. my point in writing the article is to provide information regarding the said game and not to advertise it. i guess its in the manner on how the article was written. i hope i can still create the page so that everyone would know more about this game. i'm considering revising the whole article in order to comply with the rules of wikipedia. i hope you accept my apology. thanks

IP User: 212.49.94.198

Thanks for blocking this user but just to note that all this users edits involved for a single purpose: stamping on Nobility templates on various fictional articles so I would like to know if you are going to leave them there or if someone is going to take them off. -71.59.237.110 (talk) 05:08, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Query. Help Please

Hi Spellcast. I have this doubt in my head. I am currently working on Running (No Doubt song). I want to get the article to GA class. I tried my level best, but the article is very small. Its only 9,000 bytes long. The reason is that the song was very unsuccessful and on top of that, it was released in only two countries. As a result, it has hardly any chart activities as well. It was also the last single of the album. As a result, i am unable to make it longer. But i want to make it GA as it is the only article which is keeping Rock Steady from becoming a featured topic. My question is, can an article of this length become a GA?? I hope you can understand. Reply awaited. Thank you! Indianescence (talk) 18:11, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your valueable advice. I have gained the confidence and have nominated the article. It would be a dream come true if Rock Steady becomes featured topic. Thank you once again. Indianescence (talk) 04:08, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I had one more doubt (sorry). If you have a look at It's My Life (Talk Talk song), we see that the Talk Talk version part is very small and improper, but the No Doubt part is good enough (Thanks to Drew!). My doubt is, if a person has to get the article to GA, he has to write even the Talk Talk section? Don't you feel it is unfair as the original version is old and cannot be made very nice. It can become a disadvantage right? Indianescence (talk) 04:27, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

We can do that? Awesome. I thaught there was a rule which said that cover versions have to be on the same page as the original song. I think all cover version songs on wikipedia are on the same page as the original. I have come across many such articles. Indianescence (talk) 04:41, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

I had that misconception because of It's All Coming Back to Me Now, as i felt that all the three version are good enough to be seperate articles, but as they are cover versions,they are together. But now i know its not the case. Thanks a lot. Indianescence (talk) 04:58, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Recommended administrators

Hello, i have created a section on my userpage for other users to find administrators recommended by me. I would like you to add yourself to the list so it can have your unique signature! Please use ~~~ to add yourself, as this will omit the date. If you do not wish to be on the list, thats okay! I respect the choice of every administrator/user on wikipedia. Have a nice day :-) TheProf - T / C 20:23, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
