I have deleted the above article as it fulfils the criteria at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you for highlighting this.--File Éireann 18:25, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
I figured that, but sometimes even asking the question allows the editor to reflect how silly his posiiton is. Perhaps that'll be true for the creator of that article as well. :-) Carlossuarez46 20:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Dear Editor,
I notice that the DROPme 'article' has been speedy deleted and reasons given are "blatant advertsing".
I then think it is a question of making the article more encyclopedic rather than just a knee-jerk deletion. I am quite happy to do this
I am have been requested to prepare a wikipedia entry given the innate positive and growing characteristics of the software application that allow for the instantaneoius downlaoding of digital information.Its commercial application is "DROPme". Currently only available to Swedish mobile phone subscribers.
DROPme has been nominated now for 3 different industry awards: mobilgalan, SIME07 and Sony Ericsson Content Awards for its technical and consumer acheivements. It is well followed by the Swedish technical and daily press. If you 'google' DROPme it comes up at the top of the list.
The DROPme application is special as it unites & leverages existing technologies for broadcasters, mobile telephones and the music industry.
Digital downloading is a popular and growing activity. The DROPme application simplifies that pursuit.
I have checked carefully with the guidleines and existing entries. If you feel DROPMe is blatant I would as you to review: "Coca Cola", "Elbrewery" and "Guy Hands" and "Apple" (to name just a few) under the same criteria.
With regad to relevance by a comparison of relevanec in 6 weeks DROPme has secured significantly more users than Wikipedia's donor, which the webpage cites as 12,000 odd.
In summary, I would ask that you reconsider your 'speedy decision'. I am most happen to rewrite the entry but would then appreciate very clear guidelines.
Thank you.
I look forward to your early response.
Best regards

Thank you for your prompt reply and very useful critique. I accept yopur offer to recreat the article in my userspace to allow me to improve it.
I will rewrite the aricle for submission with a focus purely on its technical merits and secondary source comments. What is the definition of reliable secondary sources? As the the technology is used by reputable market leading companies, as well as being followed and reproted by the national and trade press. It is also a nominee at several leadinbg indusrty awards. The application of this technology is not covered elsewhere as no-other application allows direct downloading of radio broadcasts.

Just a note to say thanks for taking Daver campbell through the RfD process... the notability asserted was tenuous, but then that's the case for most professional models, I think. The creator won't be happy with the ultimate decision, I expect, but I've tried to clue him in to the relevant policies and he'll get his "day in court". And who knows, he might make the article into something worthwhile!! Cheers, Accounting4Taste 01:16, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am hoping you can help me with a question involving a template. I have never nominated a template for deletion, so I want to be sure I am on the right track. Does this template ([[1]]) look questionable to you? It sure looks questionable to me. I know that Willy on Wheels is a banned user, who has returned on numerous occasions, using different names, to vandalize Wikipedia. So, how can a template, created by a user with only 4 edits ([[2]]) to his name, identifying the user as said serial vandal possibly be legitimate? I would like very much to know your thoughts.

Hi! I changed User:Regan123's assessment purely down to the following guidelines on Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/Assessment:
Considerable editing is still needed, including filling in some important gaps or correcting significant policy errors. Articles for which cleanup is needed will typically have this designation [B-class] to start with.
A13_road has had a clean-up tag for some time now. Also, I am happy to say that pictures that have not been published on my photo gallery "A13: Trunk Road to the Sea" are available for most if not all sections of the road. Will insert soon!
Who is entitled to assess? Bear in mind User:Regan123 is not (AFAICS) a contributor to the article, so although I was bemused he chose "Start" status, I felt he had a right to. best, Sunil060902 (talk) 17:34, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Good morning. Regarding your recent comments on the candidate votes page for Giano, unfortunately, they are too long and should be made at the voting talk page. The maximum length should be two short sentences. This determination was reached on prior consensus on the ArbCom Elections talk page. I've gone ahead and moved them appropriately, including a link from the vote page to the comment on the talk page - but feel free to edit my move to your preference. However, extended comments, like the ones you provided, are best placed on the talk page. I apologize for any inconvenience. - ZZ Claims ~ Evidence 13:31, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I saw you took some interest in this new article I created. If you can be of any help in improving it, I would appreciate it.
To start, I am trying to find a better name for this article that reflects a more technical term "Working under the table" is mostly a colloquial term that may only be used in the United States. The USICS website uses this term, too. I don't know what it is in other countries. But there may be legal that applies more globally, or at least in the English-speaking world, and that covers all the same topics.
Also, a lot of the other terms mentioned in this article, such as Social Security Disability, are from the United States. There may be other terms for these in other countries. Hellno2 19:39, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Iridescent.
I saw where you had corrected spelling on this, so i thought I'd seek a reality check from you. User:MONGO tagged this for speedy deletion as nonsense. I don't think so. I declined the deletion. Don't know it would survive at AfD, but that's another matter. Please let me know if I'm out to lunch here. Dlohcierekim 03:12, 6 December 2007 (UTC) PS. Please answer on my talk page as I might forget to check back here. cheers, Dlohcierekim 03:17, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
I declined the speedy. <<sigh>> Mongo retagged as "nonsense". It was not what I would have called nonsense. But I could not find verifiable sources, so out it went. If I could have argued WP:Vand WP:N, I would have. I know very little about such matters. I saw where you had looked at it, so I figured it deserved a chance. You're right, I think, that there is a sort of squeemishness that's surprising in an uncensored encyclopedia. Don't know what happened with Taxwoman. I'm surprised, in closing, how many speedies I've already declined that were marked "nonsense", but did not look like nonsense to me. All my best. Dlohcierekim 20:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

You are my last resort. I am not asking for an unblock. I think that I have made it quite clear that I ask for a "fair trial", and I most certainly will not ask any favours. I want to return, I promise to behave, and I want to continue to contribute. I still struggle with the fact that one single event has caused this. On balance, I made more postive edits than negative ones, and I have learned that getting into an argument leads to Hades. What more can I do? I have a lot to offer, and all I ask is that the community consider my input in a balanced and fair way. I confessed my sins, and I gave a sincere and honest reason for my socks ... I was actually trying to avoid coflict!!! Like I said, I want to come back, but I do not want you to unblock, as User:GRBerry moves in the upper echelons, and is clearly a user not equal to anyone else (so much for equality!).

Hi. I've run into a somewhat challenging situation with an editor with some alleged civility issues and an insistance on redirecting his user page to article space. His edit summaries tend towards petty incivility, but I don't care so much about that. I am concerned about the disruption of redirecting his user page so that contacting him is difficult for less experienced editors (and his editing comments on his talk page, but he's been warned about that). I think reinforcement from another admin might be helpful here. Alternatively, if you have other suggestions for how to handle it, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks for the advice, but I'm somewhat concerned by your term "As per the semi-permanent situation between you and ImmortalGoddezz". I don't see either of us as, for example, being in competition. I have learned a lot from her. I am assuming that you're referring to the Imette St. Guillen page. Just to inform you, I was one of the people who joined with protestors to rally against The Falls bar. I was in the Bar, travelled to almost all of the locations mentioned in her story, and have been in The Falls basement itself. I know that some months ago, there was blockage on the page concerning the Wrestler, Benoit (I think that's his name). He had used steroids and had murdered his wife and son. So, of course, because of all of the coverage, Wikipedia had to block/protect his web page reference so that only a few could insert edits into it.
Now I'm somewhat involved in her murder case, and now, that case is starting to show evidence of things that we (the protestors) in our rallys, had suspected for some time; namely ties to Rudolph Giuliani, and other political figures. Her murder case might have an effect on the American political election process. Seeing as we're discussing this, and as I am somewhat connected with her murder case (I had met her family last year at the Fundraiser, etc.) I'd like to request some protection for her page. Sooner or later, the trial for Littlejohn will begin and, if you saw one of the comments on the Imette St. Guillen discussion page directed against me and ImmortalGoddezz, my suspicion at the time was that this comment was from one of the Dorrian Clan or else one of the bartenders, putting out a subtle threat. Dorrian did threaten me when I picked up one protest sign at the second rally so these are people that are not to be underestimated. The Rally Organizer who had started the protests against The Falls had also received threats via e-mail for any of his postings on Craigslist.org, and the reply postings to him used foul language and threats. I had received one also when I had posted for him. Sorry for this being rather long, but this is an important murder case.--MurderWatcher1 (talk) 00:43, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Since you did some clean up at Port Charlotte High School, would you mind taking a look at this discussion which I just raised on the article's talk page. I have concerns about why particular activities were added to the article (especially the NJROTC section since it seems to only be in existence because of GO-PCHS-NJROTC) and whether they're notable enough to require such individual sections.
Would you mind also looking at the overall activities section in terms of the citations that GO-PCHS-NJROTC is providing; I have my doubts about how reliable it is to site the school's activity page in the way he has. Thanks, Metros (talk) 19:19, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I have to assume you are threatening me, which is an abuse of administrative privileges. I am included to report this as you are unwarranted in you recent attacks. Just because I appear to hold a minority view point and the certain members of the community disagree with me, Is of no concern to you as I am not breaking any policy. There is also no evidence of any sock puppetry as you claim. If you wish to contribute to the debate please do so but please be grown up about it. I can almost see that you would use the smallest thing to block me. Also it is not every article I touch please see the sarah payne article I have substantially edited that and the community isn't outraged. It is just I take on the current consensus and force debate on things. Sometimes being bold is the only way to force a debate. --Lucy-marie (talk) 15:07, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
I would also like to state you cannot punish someone twice for something If you have new evidence of recent sock puppetry fine but you have already punished me for sock puppetry once and I do not engage in sock puppetry.--Lucy-marie (talk) 15:40, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Due to some personal problems with a senior media person, some people have put defamatory things on his profile(about him and his family) and somehow got it locked.

It has been presented in a twisted way. Also the last para and the last link are exaggerations and blown out of proportion.

Hi, Iridescent. I noticed that you changed the use of <references /> to the reflist template on the article The African Beat. When I added <references />, I used it intentionally instead of reflist as there was only one reference; it seemed superfluous to reduce the size of the font where it was not visibly disrupting the article's main text.

Why did you go to an editor you know clearly has a heated history regarding edits I have made to a subject we both feel strongly upon?

You and I may not be the best of friends but, I assume you value serious discussions within the context of wikipedia policy and guidelines. Could you please cast an independent eye over the arguments. It seems as if voting is trying to be used as an argument on the page by Tunasushi. I and others appear to be getting annoyed by all the arguments which are bought arguing to keep the article, which are wholly void of anything credible. It also appears as if article ownership is being taken upon by Tuna and Angel and possibly a couple of others. The page was merged by a user and then immediately reverted by Tuna who claimed there was no consensus. It seems Tuna is failing to register the arguments and the point of policy and guidelines. The policy and guidelines are what govern wikipedia and must be adhered to. Also whenever policy is mentioned claims wikilawyering which is neither policy nor guideline.
Could you please sort this mess out and review the arguments based on policy and guidelines after all what are they for?--Lucy-marie (talk) 14:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
I never said I re-opened a discussion I simply said re-opening a discussion is not prohibited, which is something that could have been undertaken. no arguments bought by yourself have been backed up with guidelines or policies any arguments credibly, guidelines and policies are still devoid and absent even after clear policy given against is bought. If you have guidelines and policy other WP:POINT which is irrelevant in this instance as we are purely talking about the content of the articles and not each other,I would like you to share them.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
I am not the only editor stating you are acting like a buffoon, with your arguments. The arguments you bring are that of an obsessive fan and who needs to get their head out of your the 24 world and see rationality and the wider world for what it is. If you had your way every single character on 24 wikia would be on wikipedia. The purpose of the rules, guidelines and policies is so that the encyclopedia can be enhanced improved and prevent non info. To accomplish this the rules must be adhered to, you appear to avoid all rules, guidelines and policies in your pursuit of giving every character with 10 seconds or more of air time a page here. That is disruptive and something which can result in a ban, as you are avoiding all credible arguments and disrupting genuine discussions.--Lucy-marie (talk) 00:49, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
You make repeated frivolous claims and do not listen to reasoned policy arguments, It seems that you are only willing to accept your opinion and ignore all other reasonable opinions. You are being disruptive as overtime you make a claim on some pages another user bring up valid reasons as to why it is ridiculous. Policy and Guidelines as to how your arguments bear any weight are still missing and must be added and sourced correctly.--Lucy-marie (talk) 14:13, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
Firstly, as I said in the Doyle talk page, I'll agree that Doyle's more of a footnote than anything else, unless he returns for the next season. Secondly, Lucy-marie's assessment of the talk discussion is skewed. I don't see how she saw a merge consensus based on the comments written so far. I reverted the merge until a definitive consensus was reached. Thirdly, Lucy-marie has an obsessive compulsion to do as she will without regard for the opinion of others. When consensus goes against her, she either ignores it or forum-shops for admin intervention. A prime example is adding merge tags for recently split articles (see here and here) - this is exactly in opposition of the consensus calling for their recreation. I thought this (see question 7) was interesting as a backhanded way to curry admin support so she can force her hand. I've been subjected to her edit-warring and Wiki-lawyering - the typical ways she rams her opinion and style down other editors' throats. TunaSushi (talk) 17:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

It sems like somebody needs to keep you in check as well or else wallies like yourself, who have taken it upon them self to ignore the rules, guidelines and policies of wikipedia, will turn this in to mob rule anarchy.--Lucy-marie (talk) 14:03, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Iridescent was right all I was to expect was a flamewar & revert war and an onslaught of anonymous abuse, sockpuppet votestacking etc. That is precisley what has happened, none of you have provided any proof as to why this character or virtually any other should not be merge, based on actual policy and guidelines. There are credible users like myself who have actually bothered to read the policy and familiarise them self with it. Then there are single issue users who do not familiarise them self, Lan Di for example and will sleectivly cherrypick irrelevant policy and guidelines to attempt to divert attention, away from the core issue. In this case the core issue is: does the character fulfill the criteria for the retention of a seperate page and not questions about civility etc. I would actually like to move back to the central issue and stop playing games, I doubt that this will occur though.--Lucy-marie (talk) 17:24, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Subject: “A major edit should be reviewed to confirm that it is consensual to all concerned editors”. Thank you for reviewing my first Wikipedia article on East Los Streetscapers. There is much to learn about Wikipedia and writing an article. I am a bit overwhelmed. I am requesting your help by re-visiting this article and reviewing the edits and tags that are continuously being placed on it by user named “Blow of Light”. These include deleting the “references” and threatening to “prod” the article, etc. I would very much appreciate your evaluation of these edits so a consensus can be achieved.

As you have probably already seen, my RfA was closed as successful, and I am now an administrator. I definitely paid close attention to everything that was said in the debate, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better admin. I do have to admit some concerns with some of your own comments though, which I felt were veering a bit past exaggeration to the point of near fabrication. For example, to accuse me of "semi-permanent edit warring"? Saying that I tagged articles for deletion simply because I didn't like them? You may use those arguments to try and convince other editors, but when I'm the one that's reading them, it's obvious that they're not true, and you were just making a "revenge" oppose. I would encourage you to keep this in mind when you participate in RfAs in the future, and doublecheck whether or not you're really making a decision based on someone's fitness for admin tools, or whether you're just using the RfA as opportunity to act out on a personal grudge. It is possible to oppose someone's candidacy, without making things up or attacking them personally. Anyway, as regards my own adminship, I am going to take it slowly for now -- I'm working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school, double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. I sincerely doubt you'll see anything controversial coming from my new access level. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, though I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are a few more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status. If you do ever have any concerns about my activities as an administrator though, I encourage you to let me know. My door is always open. And, for what it's worth, it is my hope that at some point in the future we will be able to find something that we can work on together, in the spirit of cooperation. We obviously both love Wikipedia, and perhaps we can find a way to build on that towards a position of mutual trust. It would be nice to get back to a relationship where we all benefit. :) --Elonka 17:06, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
← As regards how I got the vote in so quickly, there's no particular mystery to it; I have your talkpage watchlisted, as I do with a number of the regulars (I find periodically looking at what other people are discussing is useful to get a general view of trends), saw Acalamari propose you a couple of hours before it went live, and since I knew I was going to comment on it, started writing it and waited for you to transclude the RFA. Not particularly unusual; Kelly Martin's RFA had I think 15 votes before it was even transcluded. The first oppose in any RFA is generally the one that looks bitchiest, since the subsequent ones are generally "Oppose per...". (Every RFA generally gets at least one oppose that makes the candidate think "What the hell?" — this was mine, and this was my all-time favourite.)
I'm not sure what, if anything, can be done with PHG. As he's (possibly deliberately) using extremely obscure sources, generally written in archaic languages, unless you happen to speak mediaeval Armenian it's virtually impossible to refute them from primary sources; the best I can see is that none of the secondary sources seem to agree with him, and that an event as significant as a pagan conquest of a site holy to both Christianity and Islam should have been widely reported — witness the number of contemporary sources on the fall of Baghdad or Kiev, for example. Since he does seem to be working in good (albeit skewed) faith, the usual revert-block-ignore cycle doesn't seem to apply here; while it goes against every Wikipedia principle (as well as being awesomely hypocritical, given that the possibility that you'd do this was a leading basis for my oppose), I'd be sorely inclined to give him {{uw-error1}}-through-4 messages, block him if the problems continue, and semi-protect the pages in question to prevent him setting up new accounts to reinsert the material. After having spent a disproportionate chunk of the last couple of months fending off sockpuppet attacks on such earth-shaking pages as Windsor High School (Halesowen), I'm rapidly starting to ABF.
Not sure the talkpage comparison is entirely valid; there were certainly some dubiously inert accounts suddenly sprung back to life, but I don't think you could ever call (for example) User talk:DGG or User talk:JzG inactive... Although I certainly think RFA's do have a tendency to flush out everyone you've ever had a run-in with. (I deliberately didn't mention mine until it had finished, precisely because I knew that every reverted-vandal with a grudge tends to pile in.)
All that said, I have absolutely no hard feelings to you at all; while I did oppose the RFA, I (paradoxically, I guess) have no particular worries about you, as outlined somewhere in the mess of posts & crossposts above. — iridescent 18:49, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Green Lane Masjid, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Green Lane Masjid.

I noticed that you had nominated some articles written by User:MurderWatcher1 in the past. I've run across some re-creations of articles, and this newer one about Nixzmary Brown. There is just so much wrong with, and about these articles, that I don't know where to begin. The Brown article is little more than a trial blog, with day to day additions of the trial. Meanwhile, looking at Jennifer Moore, Imette St. Guillen, Chanel Petro-Nixon and Ramona Moore, patterns emerge. My concern is that while tragic, these articles are about non-notable persons. Since when do we devote pages to murder victims that weren't notable except for being murdered? The author is trying to create a connection between the articles by discussing nightclubs, partying in NYC and legislation, but in truth, it just doesn't connect so well. I was hoping you might revisit this, since you seemed much more expressive about the problems with these articles before on the AfDs (which I just looked at). Thanks.

This Arbitration case is closed and the final decision has been published at the link above. PHG (talk · contribs) is prohibited from editing articles relating to medieval or ancient history for a period of one year. He is permitted to make suggestions on talk pages, provided that he interacts with other editors in a civil fashion. PHG is reminded that in contributing to Wikipedia (including his talkpage contributions, contributions in other subject-matter areas, and contributions after the one-year editing restriction has expired), it is important that all sourced edits must fairly and accurately reflect the content of the cited work taken as a whole. PHG is also reminded that Wikipedia is a collaborative project and it is essential that all editors work towards compromise and a neutral point of view in a good-faith fashion. When one editor finds themselves at odds with most other editors on a topic, it can be disruptive to continue repeating the same argument. After suggestions have been properly considered and debated, and possible options considered, if a consensus is clear, the collegial and cooperative thing to do is to acknowledge the consensus, and move on to other debates.
PHG is encouraged to continue contributing to Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects in other ways, including by suggesting topics for articles, making well-sourced suggestions on talkpages, and continuing to contribute free-content images to Wikimedia Commons.

It occurs to me that this is a cue to pre-empt another possible similar complaint; while I agree that "Related topics" → "See also" shouldn't be perfomed, anyone here to argue against my replacing "Weblinks" → "External links" when I come across it will have to do a lot of convincing, as this is neither an accepted variation in the MOS, nor a standard English usage. — iridescent 00:37, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey Iridescent, I am concerned about your protection of Crouch End. The article has only been edited twice in the last 19 days, hardly enough to be considered "significant but temporary vandalism or disruption" which is required to semi-protect an article. I was very close to just unprotecting the article, but I figured it would be best to at least get your view on it before I did so. « Gonzo fan2007 (talk ♦ contribs) @ 19:26, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know. It looked like blatant spam to me with the URL pasted in everywhere. Still learning the ins and outs, and have a long way to go, but I like to think I've made more positive contribs than negative so far. :) ArcAngel (talk) 00:06, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 06:12, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

I notice that you have taken out all the line breaks between formulae in the Zobel network article. I put these in when I wrote the article because I though that the extra white space makes the maths easier to read. I have seen others besides you conducting a campaign against line breaks so I guess there must be a MOS stricture against it somewhere.

Your "new message" button is obscured on your talk page under the modern skin. ffm 16:10, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
←No problem. If it's causing serious problems, I'll change it; however, I personally think the benefit of having the full iridescent (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves • rights) fields at the top of the page outweigh the problems it causes on a single, relatively little-used skin (if it was affecting Monobook, obviously things would be more serious...). Having flipped over to Modern on a test-run through the user pages of the users posting or mentioned on this page (which I figure is a reasonably representative sample of those editors likely to be posting on talkpages), the same happens with five of their pages (Kodster, Realist2, Aitias, LaraLove and Bluegoblin7), which makes me think it's a widespread enough problem that either the Modern skin needs to be redesigned to deal with it, or WP:USER needs rewriting to introduce a "no amending a page above a certain height" restriction. I don't propose to do this myself, but if you want to put a case together for either outcome, let me know and I'll certainly come along and confirm that it's causing problems. Open note to anyone else reading this — if you're having the same problem, let me know so I can have some kind of feel for how serious this problem is. — iridescent 23:25, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for uploading Image:BloodSweatTeacover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check:
Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BloodSweatTeacover.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --uǝʌǝsʎʇɹoɟʇs(st47) 00:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

←Twinkle's quite handy to have installed, as it automatically opens the talkpage of the last editor when you roll something back - since it's hard to think of any time you'd be rolling back without leaving a message, it's a good reminder. It's also very handy for AfD nominations, as it automates all the "finding the right place in the log" donkey-work. As I think I've said, I'm shocked at how fast Huggle is; in the time it's taken to watch "Dragon's Den" I've done 250 edits, and that's deliberately working slowly. — iridescent 20:59, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

If you're going to make subjective and highly contentious annotations to another user's comment signature, please sign them as per convention. Doing it in this manner was not only misleading as to their authorship, but you had applied formatting (which I can only assume was deliberate) to make the annotation appear to be automatically generated, thus some supposedly objective comment spawned from MediaWiki, in a manner that can only appear to be a deliberate unattributable attempt to slur the person commenting.

Although I'm certainly willing to answer any questions, I'm probably not the best person to act as admin coach, since — although I do have admin status — I tend to focus in fairly specialised areas, and there are large chunks of Wikipedia I don't really spend any time with. Also, given the nature of my work, I'm quite often away or busy for long periods of time; there's also a conflict of interest situation (both on Wikipedia and in the real world) if I were to edit and/or discuss at length many of the articles you work on.
Of the current coaches, the ones I think would best suit you are Balloonman or Pedro. I think LaraLove would also suit you very well, but she's in Texas so (I'm guessing) would probably never be online at the same time as you.
Hope all that helps! Sorry it's a bit long-winded... When you do find an admin coach, I'd suggest you point this conversation out to them, so they can see what I've already told you (and disagree if necesary). One thing I can't emphasise enough is don't nominate yourself for RFA; self-nominations almost always fail. Your admin coach(es) will nominate you themselves when they think you have a reasonable chance of passing. — iridescent 16:01, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

No problems as you will see. I am reporting this to prevent problems in the future. I consider huggle one of the most useful tools ever invented especially all those cool diffs for aiv. Again please don't block me. I really want to help.Cheers!Xp54321 (Vandals Beware!!!,Contribs) 00:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

He has been blocked. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 01:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I was making a point because he was being bugged unnessarily, as metro filed a sock case against him it seemed to just be one thing after another. Ive advised Xp to get this log removed from his log. Realist2 (Come Speak To Me) 01:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Oh dear, I'll have to give him a tour of the signature policy. The good news, however, is I don't think that an RfC will be necessary. I'll also need to teach him to ask me about a situation before blatantly ignoring someone. Cheers, -The Hybrid- 05:19, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi there - thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed 69/10/3 yesterday. I will put the tools to good use and hopefully justify the confidence you had in me. Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 11:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Not sure if your talkpage is the place to report these, but you'd better note this; I've confirmed that his huggle.css page was definitely blanked at the time, and he's right; his contrib history shows him using Huggle since the blanking. I blanked my huggle.css page as an experiment, and it also letting me log on just fine. Any thoughts? — iridescent 00:45, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Could you please block this IP 213.140.22.65, that vandalised many times, instead of multiple warnings, this voice and could you please protect the same voice too? This Ip is well-known in Italian Wiki for continuous vandalisms (see: http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discussioni_utente:213.140.22.65). Thanks. --Nosferamus (talk) 09:04, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Me and another user have been in a campaign to revert regular vandalism on User:Flardox's page, I have just reverted another one. Maybe it is time for protection? Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 20:49, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I just cracked up when I saw that you blocked that user for $1. More vandals deserve that kind of lovely parting gift. :) Again, thanks for the laugh. Needed it. Best, --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Much as I'd love a dollar for every block, I'm not convinced this is what the block message should really say. Any idea why it's doing this? (It's only doing it since today, but it's done it three times in a row so it's not a one-off glitch.) — iridescent 18:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
←Compared to the bugs and niggles with AWB all these years on, they're minor. Anything that's usable by anyone is going to be misused. This is why we don't let toddlers drive. — iridescent 20:27, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, here we go. There is no good reason why IPs should be allowed to edit. It takes all of 30 seconds to set up an account, but (as Gurch can testify) at least 90% of blatant vandalism comes from IPs; that 30 seconds is enough to put the bored-kids off, while not significantly wasting anyone else's time; plus, it means the accounts can be indefblocked and avoid all the collateral damage resulting from schoolblocks, rangeblocks yadda yadda. The "but I don't want to use my username in this controversial area" argument Jimbo & co trot out doesn't apply; users with a genuine reason to want to remain anonymous can set up an SPA just as easily as editing under an IP. Download Huggle (it only takes 30 seconds or so), just keep pushing the spacebar to watch the changes from the IRC feed without making any reverts, and just look at the sheer volume of crap that's currently coming from IPs compared to the minimal amount of useful contributions. If a ban on IPs cut out even ten percent of that crap, then the "useful time saved" more than cancels out the "useful time lost" in forcing genuine users to create accounts. This policy is set by people at WMF who have barely edited since the early days, none of whom are ever willing to admit the problem exists, let alone put the rubber gloves on and help clean up the mess that's created by policies that were set up for an obscure website with 10,000 pages and are completely inappropriate for a website with 2 million pages and one of the highest profiles of any site in the world. — iridescent 20:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
at your defintion of Moral Support. And I replied on the Wikispeak talkpage. Cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I know you don't like breaking up conversations, I read so on the top of this page, but I don't like leaving comments on my own talk page and instead link to my reply. Anyway, I can see where you're coming from on the recent block idea. I've tried to get the community to nail down some specific criteria regarding inclusion at HAU, but the consensus has always come up that anyone who wants to add themselves can go ahead and do so. I have brought up the matter at the talk page so as to gauge the community consensus on this issue, so we'll see what happens. Useight (talk) 22:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
I'm confused, what do you mean, what did I do wrong? iMatthew T.C. 23:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
←With him, it's gone beyond the explaining stage (he's had it repeatedly explained to him by multiple editors and is refusing to listen); he's been given a couple of days to salvage any code he wants salvaged and then the templates are going to be deleted. — iridescent 23:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I noticed that you used AWB to "correct" the typo. Note that the proper spelling in American English is Jewelery (see the lead paragraph on the Jewellery article). I'm sure that you know as well as I do that you shouldn't be changing an American article to the British English spelling, especially mass moves with a AWB. I have undone the change for Buffy Waltrip. I'm sure it wasn't deliberate since you come from the other side of the big pond. Royalbroil 04:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Seems we might have a compromise in the works; as I understand it, they're offering to transclude, rather than redirect, which I believe resolves most of the problems brought up at WP:AN. I've just posted at User talk:I just lost teh game#Protection saying I'd come here and ask you about releasing the protection. Thoughts? – Luna Santin (talk) 21:45, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
