Proof is here dude http://www.splashnewsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/splashnews_macny030807a_01.jpg, "Our houses were all lined up in a row. I was on the end, with Vanessa [Hudgens] next door. The best part is that we had maid service, so my room was always clean." http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_272615259.shtml http://www.onetruemedia.com/otm_site/view_shared?p=35a22fc99d04d8f230e449&source=category&category_id=22 This enough proof for u? Ive now read three different articles there is some speculation but Za does quote they "Clicked, I think its enough proof but ill look for more... How much more do u want?? _____.:!Ninja!:._____ 22:18, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

“I don’t know what it was with Vanessa, but we kind of clicked from the very beginning.”

Direct quote from Zack not from tabloid... Also "I dont like to talk about my personal life, but yes we have and are seeing each other" http://vanessa.triple-star.org/

It sites its sources on there.. Do i need anymore proof.

The sources it uses? The same sources you've been claiming. A fan site that cites tabloids is not a reliable source by any stretch of the imagination. Metros 10:27, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Template:Image talk commons

Sorry for this error, I asked people in IRC to adding CAT to this template, but noone answer me, So I add these CATs then asked them to see it, but no one answer me :), Sorry for this.--OsamaK 18:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Into the Wild (Warriors)

I noted the edit you recently made. I've also noticed that User:ElectricTurahk has said that he has some proof on why the cat on the cover is Firepaw, and I suggest you talk it over with him.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 22:55, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if this was ElectricTurahk's source, but would this (you have to click on 'meet the warrior cats' to get to the page) be enought to say that the shown cats are who they're labeled as, or do you need written proof?  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 23:02, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Written proof. To say "this cat on the cover looks like this cat on this website" is considered original research on our part. Metros 23:08, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

The cats are exactly the same ^DAVID _CAT 23:47, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Look, we're not getting into this again. You need to provide a reliable source that states this instead of simply saying "this looks like this, so therefore, this." Metros 23:53, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

But they don't just LOOK the same, they are EXACTLY the same right down to the pixels^DAVID _CAT 12:41, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

If you click on the warriors cats link it has the pictures of the cats and their names under it; it that enough or would we have it written out? I would also like to point out to David Cat that even if the pictures are the same, nowhere does it say who the cats are, and therefore the cats cannot be named.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 23:25, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I also think this is the "proof" that User:ElectricTurahk used as he said here.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 02:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks For The UserPage Revert

I had to place that comment on my talk page though . . . since it didn't point anyone out and was far too ridiculous to just be forgotten about. :) -WarthogDemon 01:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Please explain

Why did you delete my last post at talk:Kris Weston? There is nothing offensive, it's just true, his former site is no longer active, and likely the girl in that pic is one of his relatives, I guess. How can it be that you can suspect that a user with more than 1800 good edits like me can vandalize a page? Very strange, please stop it, explain or I'll report you.Doktor Who 12:41, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

What did it have to do with the improvement of the article? Metros 12:42, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Isn't that obvious? The link should be deleted, and I was asking for approval.Doktor Who 12:45, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Then remove it and reword your comments differently on the talk page. No where in there do you mention "let's remove the link." The way you worded it was more of a shot at Kris Weston than a suggestion on how to improve the article. In fact, I didn't even see the connection between the article and the website because I wasn't aware that the website was linked from the article. Metros 12:50, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Simply: it's hard to believe that you didn't see the connection.Doktor Who 12:55, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Do you think I have the links to every external link in all 3,000+ articles on my watchlist memorized? No. So when you come on to the talk page with a random link, how am I to know that that's what you're talking about if you don't explain "we should remove this link from the article"? The way you worded it seemed like you were simply taking a shot at Kris Weston by saying that he has nothing better to do than make fun of us. Metros 12:57, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, why didn't you check? I clearly referred to a link in the main article, why didn't yoy go there? Too busy? Too many vandals to fight?--Doktor Who 13:13, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I did and was confused because the link you provided doesn't work. If you go to the website without the www. in front, it takes you to some hosting website (Fluxtech internet solutions). You provided the website without the www. in front in your comments on the talk page so I definitely didn't understand at that point how that connected to the article at all. Metros 13:19, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok, nevermind, peace.Doktor Who 13:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk pages...

I know. I normally request email to discuss these matters privately but most people prefer for me to ask them on talk pages instead. I didn't think anyone would mind. Responses are given at discretion. I just like to ask questions for my own education and possibly inform voters.

Jeremy221 00:14, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, none of which is the purpose of Wikipedia talk pages. Please see WP:TALK. They are not to "inform voters" as you plan to use them; they are to develop articles and other aspects of Wikipedia. Thanks, Metros 00:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Gravel Post

I put up a the blog endorsement stuff on the talk page of gravel 08. I chose Oh,ShutUp.Net becuase campaigns Wika mentions the blog — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekattack10 (talk • contribs)

What happens at Wikia has no jurisdiction here. There is nothing anywhere to suggest that it is an "award-winning" blog so I don't see how it's endorsement matters at all. Metros 21:28, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

One When did i write that OhShutUP.net was an award wining blog? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekattack10 (talk • contribs)

This edit from an anonymous user which I presume to be you, or else it's really ironic that someone would be adding the blog in the same half hour. Metros 21:32, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I checked OhShutUp.Net won an award http://blogofthedayawards.blogspot.com/2007/01/2007-weblog-awards-oh-shut-up-why-you.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by Geekattack10 (talk • contribs)

I hardly think that the blog of the day qualifies as a highly notable award, but whatever, that's not the point here. The point is that the reference to the blog isn't really appropriate within the Gravel article. Metros 21:38, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I disagree its an endorsement of Gravel. Gravel put it on its own website http://gravel2008.us/?q=node/1384--Geekattack10 23:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I plan on putting the blog endorsers on the external links of the Gravel 08 article. Would that be fine by you?--Geekattack10 15:24, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

No, that would be inappropriate. Metros 15:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I dont see how it is inappropriate? A link to a blog endorse gravel? Also You recent edits i dont get why there should not be links to unoffical sites?--Geekattack10 23:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to create a separate section for unofficial links to sites that support is that ok if it is not remove it and give a reason thanks--Geekattack10 01:43, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

No, that's not okay. See WP:EL for why. We're not a mere collection of external links. Metros 01:45, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

I understand were you are comming from and i wont put it back up.

Hi Metros. I'm the guy who introduced talktimes into the discussion of the Democratic Debates on the Gravel Presidential Campaign page. You cut that out and stated "why do we need to talk about their talk lengths in here? this is about Gravel, not the debate itself" but I disagree. Gravel has made his treatment by the media an integral part of his campaign. Concentration of the media in the hands of 5 corporations, as Gravel has said, is becoming an issue with a higher profile in his campaign as well, now that he has been completely excluded from a debate. Jfmxl 01:18, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Well then show that he says/thinks that. It's inappropriate to just throw up data or charts and say "see, see, here's what Gravel is talking about!" That's original research. What you need to do is show Gravel letting his view be known on this data. But listing how long Clinton talked at the October 30th debate does little for this article since Gravel wasn't at that debate. Metros 01:23, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Megaman89 (talk · contribs)

I was just about to indef this editor after reviewing his edit history vs the contributions of FoolsRushIn (talk · contribs). Megaman89 is a fairly obvious sock of FoolsRushIn evading an indef (see Charles Manson edits, George Pendle, and Don Murphy trolling). You have an issue if I refactor that block to indef?--Isotope23 ^talk 15:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I indef'd per this. --Isotope23 ^talk 15:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't examine the contributions of both, but I have no problem with the indef. Metros 16:03, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool. Cary just confirmed that it is banned editor Col Scott (talk · contribs).--Isotope23 ^talk 16:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Silly Vandalism

It seems that user: Forbesben has vandalized a two pages with humores phrases (Forbes + Noodling) I Served him a waring and told him that he should use uncyclopedia for edits like that. This is my first time handling vandalism and i wanted to ask you if i did a good job. --Geekattack10 05:23, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the user page edit

The user that left that remark on my page was mad because I removed an insult he made at an article's discussion page. I was about to fix that and you had just taken care of it. But I thank you just the same. CardinalFangZERO 23:34, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I learned my lesson

Yes, yes, I know I left a...well, it wasn't the best comment on the Warriors talk page, was it? You can read the full apology on my talk page under "Currently in my life..." by clicking on "Spotted" in my signature.  Spottedstripe_(Talk2Me) 00:52, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Sandboxer

Hi, this user asked for his block to be reviewed. Well... Personally I wouldn't have blocked for that, he was just having fun in the sandbox. His other edits were legitimate. Or am I missing something? -- lucasbfr ^talk 20:43, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

He was "fixing" typos in other people's user pages as well as in the warnings I left him. It was things like turning "edits" to "edit's" and adding extra exclamation points and such. Metros 20:45, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

Ashley Tisdale

You recently removed an image from Ashley Tisdale. However, the image is marked with an appropriate free license. It's certainly watermarked which is not ideal, but I don't see why you think this is a fair-use image. I replaced the image. If you have any reason to believe the image source and license are inaccurate, please feel free to re-remove the image after noting on the image page what the problem is. Thanks! --Yamla 14:19, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

It says in the image caption that it's a shot of her in the music video. I presumed that to mean it's a screenshot of her music video which wouldn't be fair use to just display her. Am I missing something here? Metros 18:59, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

If that's the case, it certainly would not be free use. I'm not familiar with the music videos in question, though, so I can't confirm this. Grrr. I understood the uploader to mean that he or she took the image with his or her own camera, etc. etc. Feel free to re-remove it and add the nsd to the image description page and note that if it's a screen grab, it cannot be released under the given license, etc. etc. --Yamla 18:32, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I'm in the same boat as you. I'm not a fan so I can't place where this may be a screenshot from, I'm only working based on what the image's caption says on the article. I presume the image caption is correct on there because you know as well as I do that the High School Musical fanboys/girls would jump all over that and complain about it/change it if it were wrong. If I get some time in the next few days (not entirely likely due to a lot of real life commitments coming up), I'll try to look further into this. It could be a case of an image caption not matching up with the image, so we'll see if I can figure anything out. Thanks, Metros 18:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Cheezeman

Hey, at least he got my gender right. Cheers! --Ginkgo100^talk 03:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

John Moyer again

I don't know if you recall back in May, someone (likely the subject) was repeatedly creating John E. Moyer and John Moyer (comedian) (both salted) and then edit warring on John Moyer to change the focus to a stand-up comedian and screenwriter. Well, I noticed edits adding a wikilink to two of the related articles on my watchlist, The Singles Ward and The R.M, which were written by John Moyer. It turns out, the Moyer article has been recreated as [[John Moyer (stand up comedian, filmmaker). Another new editor, Fifa77 (talk · contribs) has added links to Mobsters and Mormons, also written by Mr. Moyer. Since you were involved then, I'm bringing this to your attention. My initial thought was AFD for the new John Moyer (stand-up comedian, filmaker) article to get community input. Thoughts? Flyguy649 ^talk _contribs 06:56, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Thanks for fixing the whole controversy mistake, I was kind of confused of what was going on. Thanks. But, can I re-add "ThinkBlue" to my userpage? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:33, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know!!! --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 20:18, 02 September 2007 (UTC)

???

It's not a personal attack...that would be MANY more words and words that are not allowed on Wikipedia...it's an opinion, my opinion of that person and the messages they leave on my talk page. Hopefully I am still allowed an opinion here, kinda doubt that too :( - NeutralHomer ^T:C 22:01, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

No, for the last time, you are not allowed to mention him. El_C 22:05, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Blank pages

I didn't really look at what you were doing. Also, I don't understand much about wikipedia, but what is the point of redirecting on those pages? One day they may have articles on them, but people won't be able to edit them! =CJK= 22:58, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

People will be able to edit them. And the point of the redirect is to take them to that page since it's the one that actually contains the information right now. Also, blindly reverting without looking at the edits is a sure way to get blocked around here. Metros 23:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

How can people edit them if it just redirects? Did you think about that? =CJK= 23:00, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Um, pretty easily. Look at this: [1] You can easily edit that. Metros 23:04, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

oh... hey how did you do that? No normal person could figure that out! =CJK= 23:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what you mean about "no normal person." I'm obviously a normal person, nothing special. Metros 23:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

but if I click on the link it just redirects me... You're doing something special with that link right there, aren't you? =CJK= 23:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

When it redirects you, click on the "redirected from..." part and that'll bring you back to the redirect and you can easily edit from there. It's not brain surgery. Metros 23:09, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Well, ok. Thanks a bunch, buddy! =CJK= 23:10, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Isn't that a personal attack? — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Cat (talk • contribs)

It is, and he has just earned a block for it. I was dealing with another issue to not see the post the first time he posted it, but now that I've examined it again, he's getting a block. Metros 23:31, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello Only, ^DAVID _CAT has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Go on, smile! Cheers, and happy editing!

Opinion

Being that I didn't ask about things I am not allowed to ask about, I see no problem with my "asking of an opinion". What I find kinda odd is three people jump all over the question in seconds. Odd. - NeutralHomer ^T:C 01:07, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Nicole Scherzinger

Hi, Sorry for not making my edit clear. What I did was create a discography for her and remomoved all of the stuff under "Discography" in her article. Then I put "Added" when I added her studio album(s) again, but I probably didnt press save the first time so it looked like ai just reduced it to one CD rather than removed all then added it again. Sorry for not being clear. --¤ The-G-Unit-฿oss ¤ 08:57, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Vinaixa67

Hi. I'm not sure blocking him indefinitely at this stage is the best choice, given that he might not yet be aware of the block — so I suppose we could wait until the block expires (or Vinaixa emails myself or another admin, or leaves a message on his talk page) before deciding what to do. I also think taking it to WP:CSN is a good idea, although I'm not very familiar with that noticeboard. Extraordinary Machine 22:06, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

What the hell?!

Fight my brother's crusade? Like I would only want to be unblocked for that! I am not a mindless slave, I am REAL and have MY OWN brain, MY OWN thoughts and MY OWN information to be added to OTHER articles. I have had NO contact with the pokemon pages, why would I just drop in like that? You are not making sense. There was NO justification in making me serve Henchman's time with him because I did NOTHING!!! And edit from somewhere else? That kind of implies you were encouraging me to start socking and then i would get indefblocked. were you trying to get me indefed? This is the last straw. I have to put up with nonsense because of circumstaces beyond my control, you don't have a choice who lives with you, and now this! I have a suspicion that you hold our first quarrel against me and will never show support, something you've never done. You were all to eager to speak against us during the investigation and now you jump to illogical conclusions. That's the end of it! I'm leaving FOREVER!!!! So good day to you! Bowsy ^{(review me!)} 18:53, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

Um to edit from elsewhere means to go log on elsewhere. Not "go elsewhere and make a new account." I means "go to another location, click the log in button and log in like you normally would just while sitting in an entirely different location from an entirely different IP."

User:Morthanley and Sherman Hemsley

I noticed you have had some problems with this user in the past. I am trying to take out a [reference] to the cold war and sherman hemsley which is not backed up by any source, and, as long as it isn't, believe it hurts the integrity of wikipedia. Morthanley first removed my undo, and I deleted it again, asking for a source, and he re-added it without comment. I deleted again, and the put up for discussion on the talk page and left a note on his page. However, I also noticed that he recently put in a message in the Nick Hogan page that Nick Hogan had died, so it is becoming difficult to assume good faith. If you could check it out, that would be great. Thanks 72.130.170.225 04:31, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Call Me Lightning

The band met WP:MUSIC by the discography alone. I don't know hardly anything about them; I was hoping someone else would come along and flesh it out with real material. Well, whatever. Chubbles 05:34, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Basically the article said "They are a band. Here are their two CDs." That's hardly any content at all so it was very borderline in that sense. Metros 05:36, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

I am afraid I cannot supply any of the things that you have requested on the talk page of Jon Burgstone. Have to admit though, your response was worth the $1 million.... Risker 18:24, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

THANK YOU!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for blocking that vandal. He was causing so much trouble to me. Stormtracker94 18:54, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

bot goof

Greetings... The problem is that between the time that the list of stub articles is created with AWB and the time that the bot gets down to evaluate the page, the article was deleted. So, for example, the list of stub articles was created on 9/8 (this list was about 12,000 articles, the bot started working on the list, article X was deleted on 9/9, the bot got to that page on 9/10, still assuming that the article was tagged as a stub, and marked the non-existent talk page. My guess is that for the biography stubs (which was about 75,000 articles) I'm going to have to remove the recursive list and deal with each sub-list individually. I've stopped the bot right now until I can address the problem. SkierRMH 14:48, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Message

Sorry about that. It was a test page. --Solumeiras ^talk 12:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

• That was silly of me, and I'll admit it. I wasn't thinking straight then. I know you and I haven't got on, and I don't want us to get into any argument/dispute. I'm sorry about that, and I'll use a sandbox instead for creating test pages. I really should have moved it into a userspace sandbox.

Anyway, I apologise for if I've upset you on here: I don't want to offend or upset anyone. I've learnt my lesson now, I won't do it again. Thanks, --Solumeiras ^talk 12:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

User Metro, why did you vandalize my auto-biographical page "Todd Fuller?"

Thank you, Todd Fuller tfuller52@aol.com Sources for my life are valid. One is even in Spanish referencing Spanish basketball career from www.feb.es (Federacion Espanola Baloncesto) FEB Others are validHoopsworldscout 19:43, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Unblock request

FYI, 209.244.43.209 (talk · contribs · WHOIS) is requesting to be unblocked. You indefinitely blocked it early this year after an RFCU identified it as the source of much wrestling-related vandalism. I left the IP a note that I was asking you. —Wknight94 (talk) 15:35, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Starting

I am starting to think that you stalk my page and read every edit I make. And this is a valid claim because every time a make an article, it is YOU that trys to shoot it down. The pages i have asserted notability, use third party sources. See WP:CORP, the Poughkeepsie Journal is a newspaper that covers all of New York so stating that it is un-notable is completely without merit. Please instruct yourself in the proper mode civil editing here on Wikipedia. Remember we don't like edit wars--NightRider63 19:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Please see WP:COI. We told you earlier that you should not be editing or creating articles in which you have a stake. Metros 19:22, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Does having employment qualify as a stake? No I didn't think so. Google it, see all the website hits you receive. Research before nominating. --NightRider63 19:29, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Sure, I'll Google it...let's see "Depot Hill Media" brings back 21 Google hits. 617 if I allow duplicated search results which are all from your website. That's not notability right there. As for "does having employment" qualify...Matt, you're the freakin' owner of the "corporation". Unless you're counting your grandpa's donation to get the company going as meaning he owns it. Which, by the way raises another issue, you have a conflict of interest with Sleep-Tech which you've been editing for awhile now as you're his grandson and he owns it. Metros 19:37, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Let's see you are hinting that it is not a corporation, so here is a link from NYS Corporation Lookup,

Two, you seem to only be following me every time I edit, which raises another question. are you even administrating properly? With too much time spent on something small like this other articles such as.. New Pages. With all those New pages being created, you are following something which is a pinprick in this entire operation is wrong.--NightRider63 19:44, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I do know your name. Do you think I forget when you went around here as Mgarnes2? Which is oddly so similar to Matt Garnes, the President and CEO of Depot Hill Media. If you feel my actions are inappropriate, bring them up to another administrator or post about it on WP:AN or WP:ANI. But getting rid of conflict-of-interest spam is part of being an administrator. Weeding out the non-notable stuff, such as your company, Matt, is part of the job. Metros 19:46, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

List of Japanese N64 games

I noticed your one of the people that wished there to be a list of Japanese games online for Wikipedia which I tried to make for the Nintendo 64 a few months ago, but just like when they where added to the orginal List of Nintendo 64 games they are trying to delete the new page List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games here's a link Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games to the discussion, how about giving your view.

I've got a big favor to ask...

Hey Metros, it's been a while (actually a year), but I have a big favor. I came across Gossip Girl 's talk page and saw some irrelevant content. Would you mind watching the page and deleting any stuff like personal opinions and things unrelated to page changes? Thanks, --DFW 13:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:FBLAColorLogo2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:FBLAColorLogo2.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. BetacommandBot 15:15, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

Re: your note to me regarding the IP vandal block

With all due respect, it wasn't an edit war. I considered wholesale blanking of cited material to be vandalism, and repeated vandalism at that, and when addressing IP vandalism, it is appropriate to restore the blanked sections and to take disciplinary action with the IP. I even made it clear that I was not interested in addressing the content issues that the IP was objecting to, I was merely addressing the process. I have read no where in policy that admins who revert vandalism are barred from blocking the vandal...if I am incorrect on that, please feel free to point it out to me. I don't mean to be disrespectful towards you, but if your logic indicates that I could be blocked too, you might want to re-read policy: 3RR specifically does not apply to blatant vandalism, and policy specifically addresses blanking in this exception. He reverted by blanking three times, and policy clearly states that 3RR isn't a license to revert up to 3 times with impunity. And, again no disrespect intended, but you are incorrect in the warning area: the IP had previously been warned about blanking (in that case a user talk page) on his talk page, and I warned him about blanking cited text from the article in a response to his post on the article's talk page. I may not agree with your opinion of this, but I do respect you, and won't contest your unblock. However I assume that you will be equally vigilent to any further blanking actions by said IP, and that you will take appropriate action against him should he continue in his behavior. AKRadecki^Speaketh 03:49, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Metros, you were technically right to unblock there, but I'd think a lot of admins might have done the same thing, because the IP's blankings looked an awful lot like vandalism, even if you were right to argue they were not. I have warned the IP and will be happy as an uninvolved admin to block if it continues to edit-war. I hope that's all right with you. --John 04:12, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Regarding article James Brooks (painter)

Hi Metros!

I thought you may want to change (delete?!) two edits from the article: James Brooks (painter). I would be happy to add documentations to rhe article but not in the present state.

1. Second line in “Biography:” "crazy man to Jackson Pollock…" James Brooks was a good friend and neighbor of Jackson Pollock and his wife Lee Krasner in Springs, East Hampton, Long Island. The description: "crazy man" makes no sense in the sentence! crazy man - it is an opinion without documentation.

2. Last sentence in “Biography: What most people do not know is that he was a homosexual." In the context of the article the description of James Brooks’ sexual orientation without proper reference is absurd.

I checked in “history” to learn who was responsible to the additions and I found only IP: [[2]]

I suppose that these words make no difference to the great works of art that were created by James Brooks. Nevertheless if the intension is to guaranty that Wikipedia remains an encyclopedia it is necessary to revert these changes.

Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, (Salmon1 14:00, 26 October 2007 (UTC))

Response to deletion proposal of Warrior's Return Article

I accept the deletion of that article. I only created it because we had more info on it than say, Code of the Clans or Eclipse, and those both had articles. If you are the one to delete it could you make sure that the info on that page goes back to the Warriors (novel series) page. Thanks. ClawClaw 15:27, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Glad you understand the reasoning behind it. You can tag the article as {{db-self}} if you really think it needs to go. Metros 19:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

electric football

Why was my post removed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_footballwww.stopactionfootball.com? It was created with the electric football community to make the game more popular. Can you tell me why it was taken down? chuck_Sample@yahoo.com Here is the link in question: http://www.stopactionfootball.com, which is part of this site: http://iheartharv.com and here is the maker http://www.iheartharv.com/whatsaharv.htm And what about the AVHS post? What the the reason for taking that down as well? What do I need to show you? Here is some proof: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1858844/ Please help...I don't know! If you tell me what I'm doing wrong I would be super happy to fix it and not do it again.

The person you keep adding to these articles is not notable. Metros 19:07, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Are you kidding me? Two nationally aired spots on electric football isn't notable? Yeah, I'm sure that electric football fans could care less about that. Good thinking.

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1858844/ Not notable?....you sure?

An IMDB page doesn't show notability; they aren't that hard to get. If you can link to three newspaper or magazine articles explaining why this person is important, that would show notability. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Archived talk page, attack by sock puppet

That talk page needs to be deleted, it is full of attacks and profanity. Please read it and then either edit or delete it...--Put that in your pipe and smoke it 20:32, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Where is there an admitted sockpuppet on there? If admitted sockpuppets can't be allowed, how come you, yourself, have an admitted sockpuppet? Also, Wikipedia is not censored so profanity is not necessarily disallowed. Incivility is not a reason to delete a talk page. Metros 20:34, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines, talk pages that get too long should be archived, not deleted. Profanity isn't a reason to delete, either. If you think it should be deleted, you should use the deletion process to seek community consensus. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 20:39, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Hah, that's right on the Mrtobacco2 sockpuppet :) The page was listed properly at misc. for deletion but Metros removed the post. That's why I put a post here to discuss. I think it should be reviewed by others for possible deletion - it's listed properly I beleive so please don't remove it again. --Put that in your pipe and smoke it 20:43, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

No...no you did not add it properly to the MFD page, so that's why it has been removed (twice now). Read this section of the MFD page to figure out what you're doing wrong. Metros 20:48, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Edits to Warriors (novel series)

I'm not trying to be rude but I think you should pay more careful attention to your reverts in Warriors (novel series). I have noticed several cases where you have reverted to pages that still contain vandalism or to pages that are missing information added. If you could just take a look at what you're doing before you do it I would appreciate it. ClawClaw 17:43, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry - I will improve

I posted anccidently to Palacguard's talk page last night. He posted to me to notify me of that. He also posted to my talk page a long message that I did not understand. So, I posted to him saying I did not understand his message.

However, I will stop all postings in the subject. I want to do that. I do wish persons would stop posting about me also. I want to get back to my DYK's and legal articles. Thank you for your message. I value your advice. Regards, Mattisse 14:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, now WTF!

Metros I've tried to understand wikipedia policies for articles but you've taken it to far. Firestar's Quest was deleted without given even a chance for revision by the members of wiki who care about such things. You and your other admins have gone on a deleting rampage for warriors. I for one have had enough! ClawClaw 22:14, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I second that! ^DAVID _CAT 22:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Not enough time? According to the October 26th date of the AFD and the November 4th closing, there were about 9 days for revision. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Firestar's Quest. In addition, it could have been revised BEFORE this AFD but no one ever did. If you wish to appeal this decision, see deletion review. Metros 23:12, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, frankly, I don't think that a 3-2 vote is enough ^DAVID _CAT 23:24, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Opening Transwiki Options for Warriors AfDs

Metros, I know you're involved in a lot of deletion discussions in my fandom, and my only reason for contacting you on the subject (as you can't help but do your job) is to ask that transwiki to Warriors Wiki become a more viable option. Right now many articles seem to be getting deleted without this option being employed (though I've taken some time to backup things that I don't think will survive in the long run, now, and am working to keep myself more aware of what is at risk).

In a lot of case Warriors Wiki either already has similar articles, or hasn't accepted the article as 'verified' yet, but I still feel that the work of so many Warriors Fans shouldn't be throw out so quickly. It should at least come to a fancruft-friendly location and be considered for integration into a place that can provide the information a better home.

Message

The message placement on your user page was an error, for which I apologize. I'd been away from Wikipedia for a long time and didn't remember where messages went. However, I have NOT vandalized the Ohio University page; there is a serious problem here that OU can do no wrong, and that everything on the OU page MUST be complimentary. That is NOT NPOV. jaknouse 21:08, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

WTF?

How in the @#$% world am I "vandalising"? I noticed that two users were fans of the Warrior Series, and I let them know about the Warriors Wiki. Many of them even joined! So how is that vandalising? By letting them know about a site that the may be interested in? I'm just curious, and, according to you, a vandal. Eulalia459678 03:11, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

What have you done for Wikipedia? What edits have you done that show you're here working for the project? I don't see any. All your edits have been are advertising an outside website. That is vandalistic in nature. Metros 03:21, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

I am personally offended. Eu left me a message on MY talk page. I did not even notice it because of your revert. I think that it is wrong for you to be changing edits on somebody else's talk page.

Hi, If I write an article about a single or an album in my page... Can I use their cover pics? Why have you deleted these pics? EncicloCharlie 3:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

No, because fair use images can only be used in actual articles. They cannot be used in your user space. THis is a violation of the copyright those photos are under to do it as you're trying. Metros (talk) 03:05, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

It is inappropriate to post a mass message as HanzoHattori did with the hopes of organizing a group of editors to, basically lynch another user. Metros (talk) 20:17, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

HanzoHattori has a very, very long history of outrageous behavior. However, it looks like he may have left... it'll suck to lose the contributor part, but I'm happy to see the troll part gone. EVula // talk // ☯ // 20:19, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Regardless, I'd have seen it anyway, and would like to reply and tell him that this behavior was inappropriate in return. This serves as an example to anyone who may glance upon it. Without seeing his message, I probably wouldn't have been aware of the arbitration request underway, either. Inappropriate as it is, it isn't vandalism per se, so I decided not to delete it outright. But I still appreciate the gesture. -MissingNOOO 22:05, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

About a couple of AIV reports

Hey, be a little bit careful when you're reporting to AIV. In the last hour or so here you've reported two vandals as editing past their final warnings without that being true. Here you reported one at 13:44 who was only given the final warning by you at 13:44 and hasn't edited since just before the warning at 13:33. This one you reported at 13:15 as breaking the final warning but the final was issued at 13:15 by you and the editor hasn't edited since 13:14.

You look like you do a good job with the AIV and recent changes patrol, but just keep an eye out so that you're not reporting inappropriately like that. Thanks and keep up the work, Metros (talk) 14:05, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

• These two reports are both valid, abeit for different reasons. The first edit received a final warning at 11:45, 21 November 2007 (UTC). This is easily within the 1 week hostile period i personally maintain. Also, this IP had numerous previous warnings and a previous block, which also factor into my decision not to take any chances for future vandalism. I agree that this one was perhaps a bit to hasty, but seeing there were 9 previous edits from that IP on the same article, i assumed that this were 9 vandalism edits. Not entirely correct though, but i don't have the time to check each and every edit, especially not if my revert reason was clear vandalism
  
  The Second report is also quite easily explained. Initially i gave a level 1 warning for a clear vandalisation. However, seconds later this user vandalized exactly the same article with exactly the same line. As it was clear vandalism then i decided to issue a level 4 warning. Another few seconds later i saw the same person with the same vandalisation, so i issued a level 4im along with reporting him. What went wrong then? It seems that VoaBot managed to get in between ths cycle. Instead of my vand4 warning it placed a level 2 warning, discarding my level 4 one. When i came back just after that, i still knew i placed a level 4 and just placed a level4im and reported, without checking if something happened in between. --Excirial ^{(Talk,Contribs)} 14:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Cross country revert.

You reverted my clarifications to the team scoring section, yet did not do anything to clarify the section yourself. Some of my changes, such as changing "included in the placings" to "included in the score" is for the sake of accurate. Non-scoring runners affect place irregardless of weather they score. Each runner has 2 distinct numbers attached to them and they cannot be used interchangeably. I realize some of my wording was clunky with my distinction between non-scoring varsity runners and independents. But there again it is important to make the distinction. Maybe we should divide team scoring section in to 2 sections and have one for "Invites" and a second for "High school meets"?...

Your edit contained a lot of unnecessary things. The whole part about "possible to lose even if you place 6th before 5th" doesn't need to be addressed in the article. The way you wrote "6 and 7 score" is confusing because it reads that your score is the total of your 1st + 2nd + 3rd + .... + 6th + 7th. The current wording of displacers is slightly better. The whole independent thing you put in is also confusing because you talk about the independents being 6th or 7th which is what you just talked about a sentenced or two earlier as counting in scores. Do these explanations make sense? On top of that, you also had a bunch of spelling and grammar issues going on within the additions, but that's a minor point. Metros (talk) 04:36, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

OK, the way things are now is fair, I would like some mention of independents in the actual text but I can't see how to integrate them without creating run ons or a tangent. It would be a waste to have a separate paragraph for them as there's not much to say. I'd really like to have an article just on high school scoring, team ranking, and state level competitions because it's really quite complex and even the coaches here in Washington don't seem to understand how the state championship works. There is NCAA, High school, and invites here in the US, or am I missing something? We really should discuss high school separately because it is standardized, at least in Washington, and therefore we don't have to use that nasty "in some meets" phrase when describing it. Tim.thelion (talk) 05:16, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I've been involved in the high school and collegiate levels of CC and never seen a difference in scoring at all. Every one I've been involved with is the standard top 5, 6 & 7 displace, 6 breaks the tie. Metros (talk) 05:18, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:Hoopsworldscout

I think a listing of the companies that donated to the cause would be appropriate. However, the "all of which are companies that directly profit from CATS operations" bit would need a reliable source to back it up (I looked at ref #8, but I could not find any mention of the ~$13,000 figure). I agree that it looks like there's some sort of underlying POV in the context, but I don't think it would be an issue to the people who read the article.

Message on Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia

Hello Metros, can I just ask you to confirm if this was you or not? -- Deltaneos (talk) 15:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Yup, that was me. User:Andeveron left this thread here (since removed from my page) and then his subsequent postings on his own talk page, plus some actions at Tyrant Slayer's talk page, makes me wonder what's up here. I really think that there might be a relation to past users we've each had dealings with. Metros (talk) 15:14, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Judging by the way they talk alone, the apparent "second" person is Tyrant Slayer, the first maybe not. The two possible situations I see are: Both personas are Tyrant Slayer, claiming the first was someone else, so to say he has nothing to do with this. (blockworthy, I suppose, either way Tyrant Slayer said he didn't care if the account was unblocked). Otherwise it's two people sharing an account (also blockworthy).

As for any BB0 connection. Nitemare 81 (at least on YGO wiki), I'm near 100% sure is BB0, due to their obsession with each other, similar styles of wiki formatting and editing and cock and bull stories BB0, and other accounts all marked as his sock puppets, have given about their connections in real life. While Tyrant Slayer does look suspicious, he doesn't display all those similarities. I don't believe he's Big Boss, he is a good editor, just caught in cross-fire, or whatever.

Sorry about the long reply. Persistant vandals shouldn't really be given this much attention, I don't wish to encourage him. -- Deltaneos (talk) 16:52, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Can you explain this to me, please? - Rjd0060 (talk) 16:15, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Explained there. GFDL does not equal "copy everything and use it however without any restrictions." The GFDL-licensed text must be attributed to its original source, in this case Arthur Rubin. Metros (talk) 16:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Really, really bad haiku from a new admin

Setting new lows in thank-you spam:

Click there for my RfA spam haikus! → → →

Janitor's new tools
Spam must stop -- will new mop act?
Ooops, .com blocked

New admin, new tools
Earnest newbie furrows brow
Fare thee well Main Page

New mess all about
Sorcerer's Apprentice mop
Not supporter's fault

A. B. so grateful
Wikipedia trembles
Watch out DRV

A. B. wonders why
Copyright always confused
Fair use, farewell, bye

Dear RfA friend,
I will learn, chaos will fade
Thanks so much ... A. B.

This RfA thank you card is based on a card originally done by Phaedriel

Well, Metros, thanks for all your help and support pushing and pulling me to adminship over the last 10 months. It should make for an interesting 2008!

Stop reverting the Musicians from Denton, TX page

Are you even from Denton? You keep taking bands out.

A. Doesn't matter where I'm from since anyone can edit any page. And B. none of the bands that I take out have pages on Wikipedia. Metros (talk) 19:48, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
