...on an overwhelmingly successful Commons RFA. Have fun wrangling those copyvios A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 14:57, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Fluffernutter. I think it says something about RFA as a system that the process on Commons is so much less painful than here. Courcelles 15:22, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Break out the Bollinger! Congrats from me as well...--Jezebel'sPonyo^{bons mots} 15:32, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, Ponyo! Nice to see you around :) Courcelles 00:36, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Peter Gruenwald is expired. Is there a place to report expired afd? --Vic49 (talk) 15:04, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

When you start an AFD, it needs to be listed on a daily log. I've done this now, and the AFD will close seven days from now. Courcelles 15:10, 13 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Courcelles. You closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/We Want Blood! as delete. The AfD has been nominated for deletion review at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2011 September 14#We Want Blood!. The nominator did not discuss this with you because he or she mistook a discussion participant as the closer. Cunard (talk) 08:42, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Meh, not a great AFD, and GeoSwan's comment indicates the !votes there are questionable. Given it was a 21 day discussion, I just created a new one for some fresh debate, and closed the DRV. Courcelles 15:30, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Just noticed [1] . Yep, I don't know how cascading got checked... T. Canens (talk) 19:48, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

That's what I thought. Good. :) Courcelles 17:27, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

I did not get a close look at the page history of Revolution 2020: Love, Corruption, Ambition, but I thought Future Perfect at Sunrise removed the offending material (as he said in the AfD discussion). Was the material restored again? I just think it would have helped to have an article revision to revert back to when the time comes. Erik (talk | contribs) 11:31, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Yes, except for FPaS's single revision, all other 49 in the history are copyright violations. (Several of the 29 being after FPaS') This really should have been G12'ed and never sent to AFD, it was that blatant of a copyvio. Courcelles 17:26, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Alright, thank you for letting me know. Happy editing! Erik (talk | contribs) 17:36, 15 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi, you had made some edits to the List of K-1 events article not so long ago, but seems like some user has reversed your edits. Furthermore, i recently began revising and editting the entire article listing to exclude the unofficial K-1 events. The article contains several listings of non-K1 events or unofficial K-1 events. and i have, and can, provide citation from K-1's own website for their list of their events. The same user once again, this time has reverse my edits as well. I even brought up the issue on the discussipon page of the article, but seems that was also ignored as well. The user in question also never even bothers to write any "edit summary" any time he edits or reverses someone else's edit. 108.27.129.118 (talk) 04:14, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

If you're dealing with an edit war, please report at WP:ANEW. Courcelles 03:06, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Just to let you know that while I shall be drastically reducing my participation on Wikipedia, I shall remain involved in overseeing the restriction between Roscelese and Haymaker. If there are any issues arising in regard to that matter that you and TParis are in agreement with, however, you need not wait for my input - you may assume the consensus has me on board. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:48, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

Okay, sorry to see you go. Hope you're back, refreshed, before long. Courcelles 22:51, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

The article named "Landau Eugene Murphy" was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Landau Eugene Murphy. I think you are the one who did this. This subject is now notable as the winner of the sixth season of America's Got Talent and his article at another title was created yesterday. Please read discussion at Talk:America's Got Talent (season 6)#Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr.. --67.169.28.10 (talk) 04:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I honestly have no clue if winners are notable or not, but it is clearly not a G4 speedy deletion candidate for being reposted. Editors can open a new AFD, or make the old title a redirect, as they see fit. Courcelles 21:02, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

As an unregistered user, I cannot create any non-existant article. Will you recreate "Landau Eugene Murphy" as a redirect to "Landau Eugene Murphy, Jr." for me? Should the page with old title be undeleted without going to Wikipedia:Deletion review? --67.169.28.10 (talk) 21:43, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

I still don't see notability in the new article, but, until someone starts a new AFD, redirect created. Courcelles 15:38, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I tried the IRC and no one's responded in almost an hour, but it looks like you're around. Can you have a look at [2] and RevDel it. It would easily constitute useless vandalism, and probably harassment. Thanks. – RobinHood70 ^talk 21:38, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

I've taken care of this. Revision is deleted :) A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 22:17, 17 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you! – RobinHood70 ^talk 00:53, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, Fluffernutter! Courcelles 02:23, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello Courcelles! I hope you are well. :-) I have a small question about images in an article. I took several photos of Tlos yesterday but there are already 4 images in the article. If I think a couple of the shots I took are better quality/lighting or imagery, what is the process I should take to get them included? Or do you think it would be OK to add two more to that article? I could also try to expand it with words. Appreciate the advice as always. Yours, ~dee^(talk?) 10:11, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

for a subject that important, we could easily have more prose, so if you wanted to write some, that would be the best approach. FOr that length article, though, a gallery would be better than more images down the side, see WP:GALLERY. Courcelles 16:41, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Merci beaucoup! I'll be copyediting the existing content, adding as much detail and references as I can and then seeing how much content I'm at. If it's still not enough to add more pictures, I will add a gallery at your suggestion. Thanks again. :-) ~dee^(talk?) 18:25, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

No problem (Courcelles tries to get over his jealousy that you had the chance to photograph that place! ;) ) Courcelles 18:38, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

- JuneGloom Talk 13:16, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi Courcelles! A few images I uploaded have been deleted in February because they were orphaned as the article they did belong to (vSide) was still in a user space. The article is finished now and has been moved to the main namespace. After this has finally been done, I'd like to request the undeletion of the images now. I'm not quite sure if this works or I have to re-upload them (...or if that would be a mistake), so I thought it'd be better to ask you :). Another thing I need help is the lowercase title template. I don't really know why it doesn't work properly. Could you help me with that one? Thank you very much!

Moritz37 (talk) 16:35, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Sure, we can restore them. Just tell me which images you need back. Courcelles 17:06, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Also, there's something in Template:Infobox video game that is forcing the italic title. I don't know if an italics title and a lowercase template can function together... Courcelles 17:10, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the advice! The the lowercase template works fine if I add |italic title=no to the video game infobox template. I would have never thought of the problem being there! The deleted files are the following: File:VSide Logo.png, File:VSide_guide_picture_january_2011.jpg and File:VSide teche picture december 2010.jpg. Moritz37 (talk) 18:11, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

All three restored. As you know, if they're ever unused for seven days in a row, they will be deleted again. Courcelles 18:38, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Okay, thank you very much again! I hope the size of the pictures is okay now. Moritz37 (talk) 15:51, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Can you look at Shadi Aswad and see if it a re-post of a deleted page ? Mtking ^(edits) 05:28, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Yep, textbook G4. Deleted and salted. Courcelles 16:37, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, another Akshata Sen sock -- User:Hukimony, on Commons too, with uploads. Can you do the block rounds like you did the last time? cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 13:02, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Blocked on Commons and Meta, for the record, CU says this is  Confirmed, but not sleepers. Courcelles 16:51, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Thanks, one of the more painful sock drawers to keep track of. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 17:03, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey, can you check The-papillon (talk · contribs) here and on Commons? I'm hesitant to go DUCK on this one as the topic is quite different (although related to Indian cinema), but the IPs contributing "around" this editor on some articles are the same range. And the article is quite hoaxy like always too. cheers. —SpacemanSpiff 18:57, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

I"m not really seeing this one... might be better to formally file an SPI and see if anyone picks up on something I'm not getting. Courcelles 23:34, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello Courcelles. Someone on unblock-en-l can't edit due to your block of 119.73.0.0/19 (block user · block log · WHOIS). The block is anon-only and runs for three months. Should we create an account for him? You could reply by email if the block reason shouldn't be public. EdJohnston (talk) 00:23, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Direct him to WP:ACC please. That is the system to handle account creation when there is a {{checkuserblock}}. Courcelles 01:24, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

OK, I sent a person over to ACC who was affected by 94.64.0.0/17 (block user · block log · WHOIS), a checkuserblock placed by Dominic. ACC appears to have a good system for checkuser review, but a queue has formed there. The oldest request that needs a checkuser to close it is from September 15. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 17:34, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of Wrestling Ovserver Newsletter awards. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Crisis.EXE 21:00, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

Noted, but for future reference, it is customary to talk with the closing admin before going straight to DRV. Courcelles 22:52, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

The article was moved to Scott Tatman during the AfD discussion. I think you've only deleted the redirect... Singularity42 (talk) 23:49, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

You're right, thanks. Cleaned up. Courcelles 23:51, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

The Executive Director's Barnstar

Hello, User:Courcelles. I'm delighted to add the Executive Director's Barnstar to the many barnstars that have already been bestowed upon you. I give out the Executive Director's Barnstar occasionally to Wikimedians who are making a significant contribution to the projects, and you were nominated to receive it by User:KuduIO, who describes you as prolific, friendly and sympathetic. You've only been a Wikipedian since December 2009, but your track record of accomplishments here is considerable: You got admin privileges after only six months. You've made 200K edits, and if I'm reading your userpage right, you've contributed to 24 Featured Articles. You're an active participant in anti-vandalism actions, dispute resolution, RfA discussions and VRT tasks, and you're an ArbCom Audit Subcommittee member with CheckUser and Oversight rights. And I've seen on your talk page that while you have really impressive throughput, you also take the time to be friendly and kind with the people you're interacting with on-wiki. Congratulations, and thank you! If you (or anybody reading this) wants to nominate any Wikimedia editor for the Executive Director Barnstar, please feel free to do that on my talk page. Thanks. Sue Gardner (talk) 22:14, 21 September 2011 (UTC)

• Wow. Major surprise to se this when I scrolled down. Thanks, Sue, this is the most unique barnstar I have ever been given. :) Courcelles 23:33, 21 September 2011 (UTC)
  • Wow, congrats, mate. It's certainly well-deserved—you're an admin on how many projects? And where did you find nearly 200k edits to make anyway? ;) HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:08, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
    • Just three; here, Meta, and Commons. And to how I ever hit 200k edits, I have no idea at all. It doesn't feel like that many... Courcelles 21:32, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
      • You totally deserve it. Congrats, Courcelles and thanks for being around! :-) ~dee^(talk?) 13:37, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Hey Courcelles, sorry I forgot to add you as a contributor to this FTC. That was my oversight and I apologize. H1nkles (talk) _{citius altius fortius} 16:15, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

No worries, mate. Courcelles 21:18, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

is it okay for me to remove the AFD tag now on Yuka Saitō (voice actress)...? --Ald™ ¬_¬™ 22:46, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

Done. The article was moved, and my closing script didn't pick up on that. Courcelles 22:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
