Leo Wanta

Hi. I notice that our article about Leo Wanta needs fixing again, but I'm too busy to tackle it myself. You were the last registered user to edit it. Would you be able to organize a rescue effort? Thanks, CWC 00:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

From Fizzyskull

Hey demon, I'm new and unexperienced at this wiki editing thing (in fact, I don't even think I'm doing this right!),but I am posting this as a question. I would seriously like to know why you deleted my page on Clyde Thomas Crowder jr? I know that it seemed fairly normal, and I should have waited till I had finished the page, but I had needed more exact facts and needed to finish it completely. I was planning to add to it and edit it for the rest of the year so that maybe by the end I would have had a impressive page. I do not want to start a quarrel, and I guess you don't see it from my perspective, but I think that this man was quite impressive. I just wanted to get all the facts. It took quite a bit of digging to find these facts about him, and to get all of them, I thought would be impressive! (that's why his birthwieght was on their!). I guess I should add to it off the Wikipedia site and add it when it's better, but that's against the point. Wikipedia is supposed to be about everything and anything. Well, I will add to it and touch it up, and when it's ready, I'll post it.

P.S. Your comment for deleting Tom Crowder was because he was normal without his military qualifications. 1. Without her books, JK Rowling is a normal lady. 2. Even without his military qualifications, he is leader of Ajilon Managed Services, nominated in Getronics for an award that others wouldn't have a chance at, owned his own buisness and is constantly being awarded and told that he is a model worker, always making things better than expected! That in my opinion is not normal for a pre-poor farm boy who couldn't afford University, so joined the military.

I just deleted the expired WP:PROD. User:DOSGuy is the person who tagged it for deletion, perhaps you could ask him.

Re:Your notice

Well, it's unfortunate to see you drop some parts of your wikilife, but I applaud your wish to get back to editing. I had a similar issue a while ago, and I realized editing >> wikidrama. It makes Wikipedia fun again. :) Nishkid64 (talk) 18:36, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the support. I think it will be better this way. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 20:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Your CSD reason thing

Could you please restore it, or if nothing else, can I restore it to my userspace? Thanks, Kwsn (Ni!) 19:21, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead, it's still at User:^demon/csd.js. Just copy the last revision before I blanked it. I figured it was useless, given the existence of MediaWiki:Deletereason-dropdown. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 20:06, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Not useless. I like yours better than the new thing. I'd like to go on using yours, too. :) (Adding) I can copy it (at least that sounds easy), but I bet we're not the only ones. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:07, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

You're more than welcome to, just copy+paste the whole thing into your Monobook.js and you should be good to go. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 20:09, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. It seems to be working. I like how customizable it is. :) You've made it so easy to tweak the language for unusual situations. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 20:23, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It's much better than the built in reason too, thanks! Kwsn (Ni!) 21:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I much prefer your script to the new default way of doing this. It, in a word, sucks. Good idea, but the execution could be done a lot better... EVula // talk // ☯ // 22:56, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

I prefer your script as well, ^demon, and have copied it to a subpage in my user space (User:AuburnPilot/csd.js). Anyone who wants to keep their monobook.js less cluttered is welcome to switch User:^demon/csd.js to User:AuburnPilot/csd.js within their monobook.js and it will continue to work as it previously did. - auburnpilot talk 16:58, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

There's a DRV for Steve Pavlina, which you deleted, here. I'm not sure if you've been notified, so I thought I'd drop you a note. Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 07:03, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Craig Field

There was a small article on Craig Field which I had noted needed editing a few months ago . Unfortunately by the time I returned to it the article had been deleted. The log says: 02:45, 1 November 2007 ^demon (Talk | contribs) deleted "Craig Field" ‎ (completely unsourced BLP, notability outside of DUI largely unestablished)

Field was an outstanding rugby league player of the nineties who's career was effectively ended in 2001 by the use of recreational drugs. From memory, the original article focused more on the drugs than on his league talents. I can re-do the article from scratch, but it would be great to be able to reference whatever was already there. Can you access that information at all? Many thanks, ~ Florrie • talk • 10:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Your bot

I would like to clone this bot, as it was a good bot and it that should be running, but you do not seem wanting to do that, which is okay! Please contact me via my talk page if it is a yes or no. <DREAMAFTER> ^<TALK> 22:29, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

It was just an AWB bot which I gave regexes too, nnothing really to clone. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 22:37, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Which regexes? <DREAMAFTER> ^<TALK> 22:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I wrote each one individually each time I ran the bot. Each template I ran it on was different, so a different regular expression was written. I didn't save them though. Sorry. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 19:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Thanks anyway! <DREAMAFTER> ^<TALK> 21:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits

I notice this page was recently deleted. I spent quite some time on this page. I notice that someone else put on the actual rules (the UCP) breaching copyright. However, instead of removing the rules, the entire page was deleted. Could it please be reinstated (without the rules)? It is an article on an important set of rules that governs more than one trillion dollars of trade annually. Alan Davidson (talk) 13:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi again. I am writing to you because your user name appears on the page. Are you the correct person to approach in this regard? If not can you tell me who? Alan Davidson 00:52, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of User:^demon/news

A tag has been placed on User:^demon/news requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[Talk:User:^demon/news|the article's talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Doc^g 17:55, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Uniform Customs and practice for Documentary Credits

I think it's good practice that admins should be available for reasonable discussion of their actions, so I was disappointed to see the lack of response from you to questions raised by Alan Davidson on your talk page (see User talk:^demon/Archive4#Uniform_Customs_and_Practice_for_Documentary_Credits_2). I understand that you have desysopped yourself, but it would have been good to suggest somewhere else for the querying editor to ask for help.

Anyway, it seems to me that the copyvio issue has easily resolved, so I have reinstated the page and all its history, and then reverted the addition of the copyvio text: see revision history. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 15:30, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, ^demon, on the outcome of your RfA. I do kindly suggest taking things easy, though. Acalamari 03:07, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to drop a note to say that despite my comments to WJBscribe, I don't hold a grudge against you, and I'm certainly not seeking to have the decision overturned. At this point I just want some clarity from him for the future. From the tone of my earlier comments, you probably don't think too much of me right now, or even believe that I'm being sincere, and I understand that. I also want to apologize for the comment I made regarding Veropedia, as I do think that's a really valuable project that has done much to help at Wikipedia. I'm not anti-Veropedia, and I think you guys get much unfair criticism; I'm sorry to have added to that. I wish you the best of luck, and hope in time we have the chance to work together on something and bury any remnants of what probably feels like a hatchet.

Non-free image work

You said. "To anyone who says this close will bring problems in the future, could you please discuss said problems with me?" I too think the issue with the close is mainly the precedent it sets for reconfirmation RfAs being different from normal RFAs, but I do have a specific question for you. Could I ask you to clarify what you meant by "If re-approved, I wish to continue my work largely where I left off, in the realm of non-free content.". To that end, you might want to read the thread at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive127#How to handle the WMF non-free image deadline and the (rather obscure) follow-up by Betacommand at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Betacommand#Random Proposal. Essentially, I am concerned about the timing of someone asking for their bit back to deal with non-free content as this deadline approaches, and I am concerned that some admins who are, shall we say, less enamoured of non-free content, might use the arrival of this deadline as a way to implement new speedy deletion criteria for images (or change existing speedy deletion criteria) without proper discussion. I have been trying for a week to start discussion on this issue, but few people seem to care. If you care, as I presume you do, I would be grateful if you could contribute to, or help start, the discussion, as well as clarifying your position on non-free content and when you would discuss and/or fix a non-free image and its rationale/source/other problem rather than deleting. Thanks. Carcharoth (talk) 11:37, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

While it is no secret that I am not a fan of non-free content (for ideological reasons, but let's not go there), I was not re-joining in order to "meet the deadline" so to speak. Yes, I am aware of the impending deadline, but I hadn't honestly thought about it in weeks. I had been following some of the threads you mention, but I will certainly look over them in more detail. There are many images who have a perfectly legitimate fair use rationale (not necessarily written, but we have a valid reason to use), and there are many more who do not. The trick is sorting through all of them. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 13:31, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah. And getting people to avoid imploding over the issues. See WP:AN/B. I still can't believe someone created a shortcut for that page. Can I also ask you, as someone who as far as I know hasn't got involved so far, and whose opinion I respect, whether this is useful discussion or an attack page? The MFD was here and I'm still in a fair amount of shock that redirection and protection was considered suitable. Oh and thanks for the reasoned reply. It is now at DRV, but I don't think many people who participated in the debate are aware of it. Is it acceptable to inform those who took part in the debate? Carcharoth (talk) 13:45, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

First and foremost, it is /always/ polite to inform xFD participants of a DRV on the same issue. Although, it always helps to get outside opinions too. And I read that page a few days ago...personally, I think it's a thinly-veiled attack on BC. While his work may not enjoy the support of the average uploader (and he gets a fair amount of flak, in addition to constructive criticism), going around and tagging things for cleanup is a necessary task. This page set out to make it look as though BC was acting in bad faith, at least from my perspective. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 13:58, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. Since you seem more responsive than some of those at the MfD, can I ask you what specific points are attacks? Following discussion with the closing admin, I am considering ressurecting the useful bits, but I can't do that if no-one wants to discuss which bits are useful and which bits are not. I archived the useful bits of here to here, and no-one seems to have objected to that. Doing the same with the main page here will be a real hassle, and I do need some outside opinion first. Would you be prepared to help point out the really bad bits that can be quietly dropped? The whole process of trying to extract the good bits from the bad is incredibly clunky. It would have been better if the whole thing had had an "archive" box slapped on it and it had been left to gather dust, but still visible. Carcharoth (talk) 14:26, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Looking at the "this page in a nutshell" portion gives two issues immediately:

• BetaCommandBot tagging for NFCC10c is causing repeated issues in AN/ANI/other
• The issue is with the bot and its NFC10c operation only, not policy

Just comes across as POV to me. I'm a bit busy this morning, so I don't have time to go over it in detail. I'll see if I can find any sections worth keeping and I'll post here then. Have a great day. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 14:32, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Al_Zimmerman

I was disappointed to see that within 48 hours of regaining your admin status, you sought to delete my article[1] on Al Zimmerman, the Florida Department of Children and Families spokesman who was recently arrested for child pornography. You wrote:

Largely unsourced BLP with questionable notability. I see referenced material, but I do not see an establishment of notability. It leaves me asking "Ok, why is he different from any other criminal?"[2]

Because you did not provide me with an opportunity to respond, I will do so here. The article was not "largely unsourced" and it possessed more than sufficient notability. I believe the reference provided was to a Fox News story (I can no longer see the article), but there are hundreds of solid news stories about Zimmerman and the many scandals he has spawned that can serve as references. A simple note on the discussion page or a tag would have been sufficient and I would have swiftly added more content and references. Zimmerman is different from other alleged criminals because he was a politically appointee in the administration of former Florida governor Jeb Bush, brother of President George W. Bush, and he was appointed on the recommendation of current Florida governor Charlie Crist. Zimmerman is notable as both a former television broadcaster as well as being the public face and spokesman for Florida's Department of Children and Families. He is the centerpiece of burgeoning scandals in the State of Florida that deal with Crist's judgement and relationship to Zimmerman[3] (Crist is frequently mentioned as a possible Vice Presidential candidate on the Republican ticket),[4] political patronage,[5][6] DCF's care of foster children in their custody (one of Zimmerman's alleged victims was in DCF's care),[7] and the lack of criminal background checks on DCF hires.[8] This is the first article that I began as a new wiki editor and your action has really soured me on wikipedia. I have just read your RFA and it is abundantly clear to me that you have not changed your conduct at all[9] or taken any of the advice of your critics.[10] Also, given the politically sensitive nature of Zimmerman's case, I sincerely hope that your deletion was not politically motivated. --MiamiManny (talk) 07:40, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

I didn't delete it. Might you check the deletion log and who deleted it? I sought a perfectly valid AfD. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 01:51, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The deletion log lists two admins: you and east718.[11]. It says:

16:54, 24 February 2008 ^demon (Talk | contribs) deleted "Al Zimmerman" ‎ (Oops).

16:53, 24 February 2008 East718 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Al Zimmerman" ‎ (purely negative bio, treat as a blp1e deletion)

I am relatively new to wikipedia, and so I am not sure why you wrote "Oops" or why there are two deletion records from different admins in the log. If this log indicates that you did not delete my article, then I apologize to you. This was my first article and to have a wiki admin suddenly delete it and the accompanying image without the chance to comment or remedy a perceived problem is infuriating. After I pursue the review/complaint process, I am not sure I will stick around. I would much prefer to spend my time editing rather than fighting the abuse of administrator tools. As both an editor and user of wikipedia, I believe wikipedia should err on the side of inclusion and zealous admins should put their efforts into finding ways to include content rather than seeking ways to delete it. P.S. If you can restore my article and image, without the hassle of reviewing, appealing, complaining, etc., I would appreciate it.--MiamiManny (talk) 04:25, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

The reason my name showed up in the log there was because my AFD nom conflicted with east718's deletion of the page. We ended up with a single revision with /only/ my AFD nom on it, so I removed that after I saw east718 had removed the article. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 04:27, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Re-review Deletion of Category:Wikipedians by fraternity and sorority and all subcats

I would like to request that you re-review the deletion of Wikipedians by fraternity and sorority in light of both Wikipedians by high school and Wikipedians by alma mater. I bring this up in light of #1 and #3 of the process of challenging deletion debates on Wikipedia:Deletion_review. Particularly, I would like to highlight the following bullets:

• Strong Delete (Wikipedians by high school) - As those who've seen my comments in previous discussions involving these categories may remember, I oppose these alma mater categories. While college or university attended may possibly be notable (especially considering possible degrees), general education attendance doesn't seem useful to me, and seems to be more of "chat room" or even of the oft-exampled "myspace", in utility.
• Delete all (Wikipedians by high school) - per above. Categorizing by high school attended does not help Wikipedia, unilike categorizing by college attended, which has much more potential to be collaborative.
• Keep. (Wikipedians by alma mater) Serves an obvious collaborative purpose of connecting people who went to the same school. On top of that, there's the less legalistic and more realistic concern that people might just be interested in organizing categories like this on Wikipedia.
• Strong Keep (Wikipedians by alma mater) Bona fide collaborative potential (as per RockMFRM and Mike Selinker) should trump WP:NOT#SOCIALNET. WP:NOT#SOCIALNET should only be invoked in the absence of any real potential for collaboration, which is obviously not the case here.
• Keep (Wikipedians by alma mater) - many people identify more with their alma mater than with the city or state they are currently living in. Unless you propose to delete ALL "Wikipedian by X" categories, I can't see jettisoning this one.

Specifically, I would like to throw out these points about fraternities and sororities as points which were not brought up when this debate was taking place:

• Many fraternities and sororities are deeply established and have histories nearly as long as universities.
• Members of fraternal organizations have significantly deeper understandings of their organizations histories which are, to a lesser or greater extent, less easily accessible to people outside the organization, and organizing members within fraternal organizations for collaboration would prove significant in developing encyclopedic entries. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rasamassen (talk • contribs) 16:14, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
• Though social network potential does exist, but collaboration potential is greater and more necessary to form the articles of these organizations. This is because fraternities and sororities are more spatially spread out, making histories and other encyclopedic information harder to develop. This includes establishing significant events within the history of the organization as well a establishing such things as lists of significant members of the organization. This is especially true for those organizations whose histories are currently lost or fragmented because of poor organization at points during their histories (such as during the Great Depression for many United States fraternal organizations).
• Due to the significance fraternal organizations have played in the history of the United States (for example, all but three US Presidents have been members of fraternal organizations and such random facts such as the arrows on Wrigley's gum come from Pi Beta Phi, the sorority Wrigley's wife belonged to) and the significant number of people who are members of fraternal organizations, the organizational argument becomes stronger both in the potential to organize a significant number of people and the need to organize people to develop the articles about organizes which do have significant roles in the history of the United States and possibly other countries.

Thanks for considering opening this debate back up. Rasamassen (talk) 16:11, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Just for my own clarification, are you asking it to be reopened to potentially delete? The by-High School and by-Fraternity ones were deleted, but the by-Alma-mater ones were not. Just a bit confused. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 17:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello - I specifically asked for an image not to be deleted and asked once for it to be restored, but it seems someone asked you to go ahead and delete it again. Can you please restore Image:Cityrailsign.png as I had it before? JRG (talk) 23:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry lot...

Dear Mr Calton:

I'm sorry lot, I did not know that could not do that. The only reason that I have for redirect to my user page, it is because of the accent that bears my name Díaz. Because my user page was created without the accent, according to British standards, ie, Diaz. So, I thought that it was possible to make a redirection to my user page, which it is my real name of author, and which is not a nickname or alias. Georgeos Diaz-Montexano is the same which Georgeos Díaz-Montexano. If someone had written a page in Wikipedia about myself, studies, CV, investigations and discoveries, etc., and had appointed the page with my real name, Georgeos Díaz-Montexano, then I suppose that this problem would not exist. In any case, if you believe appropriate eliminate the redirect from the page Georgeos Díaz-Montexano to my user page Georgeos Diaz-Montexano, I accept with great respect your decision. My intentions are to collaborate in harmonious manner, peacefully and without conflict of any kind. I do not want to be a nuisance to anybody. I am very grateful for your notice, and suggestions. Kind regards, --Georgeos Díaz-Montexano (talk) 03:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for taking the time to write to me. As a general rule, we do not redirect the main namespace to the user namespace. This is done in order to prevent confusion of our end users, who might think they are reading a biography when they're in fact at a user's page. I hope you'll understand (and maybe you could ask for some help over at WP:CHU, they might be able to help you change your username to have the accent like you want :-) Have a great day. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 14:35, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Inappropriate Deletion of Wakfu

Speedy deletion of Wakfu was not appropriate under CSD G4 for the following three reasons. First, I wrote it entirely from scratch, thus it was not a copy of previously deleted material. Second, the new version addressed every single concern underlying previous deletions. Third, CSD G4 applies only to articles deleted by discussion, not to speedy deletions. Kindly restore the article at your earliest convenience. Matt Fitzpatrick (talk) 11:53, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi!

I don't understand why some misspelled Talk pages are valid and others are not... Regards. --Damifb (talk) 18:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

If I deleted any of those, I apologize. Redirects from misspellings are perfectly acceptable. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 19:26, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

But I'm talking about redirections for talk pages, not for articles. For example, you just deleted Talk:Julio Cesar Green.

--Damifb (talk) 20:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Typically, the article is only redirected. Sometimes people redirect the talk pages too. Doesn't really hurt anything though. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 14:29, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

There was no source. There was a single external link to this, which isn't a source. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 14:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is a source did you see the name at the end the company name at the top ? Chessy999 (talk) 00:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Just because it's from the company doesn't make it a source. How does this page show that Szabo is notable? ^demon^{[omg plz]} 11:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Spill.com article

Hey there. Just saw that you deleated the Spill.com article. I just wondered why. I mean, I understand wikipedia's policy is pretty tight on websites and stuff, but I thought that it is owned by a pretty big company and it does have quite a lot of members... Also, I don't work for spill.com or anything, just if you were wondering =p Oh and also, please don't delete my account. I really do love wikipedia and will edit something if an article isn't up to date or whatever, I just thought it could be a valid article. Anyway, you're proberly right, but hey, whatever. Thanks, David Black Mesa (talk) 18:06, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

The way the article was written, there was no content and it was basically a 1 sentence ad for them. An article /might/ be worthy of inclusion, but what was there was not. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 18:07, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Charlie Benton (Writer/ Author)

I think you got my page deleted, could i please have an answer?

The article that was written had almost no content. It had about 3 sentences talking about him (none of which explained why he was notable). It also mentioned contacting him and had an e-mail address, both of which are non-encyclopedic things. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 18:09, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Kicking your ass ;-)

Wikipedia:Kick the ass of anyone who renominates GNAA for deletion before 2007 is a historic policy page, that should in fact remain in the historic record. (For one, I need it to explain one particular block in my block log. Currently I noticed it was gone when I tried to link to it in a current MFD kerfluffle) . As you deleted it in 2007, strictly speaking, I have no right to kick your ass (either directly or obliquely), but would you please undelete it without that threat anyway? :-P Thanks for your time.

--Kim Bruning (talk) 19:33, 10 March 2008 (UTC) ps. no I won't take this to DRV, that page has had enough DRV scars as is. (it was part of a weird WP:POINT VFD/DRV recursion situation which several bureaucratically minded wikipedians allowed to come into existence. I ended up enforcing the policy while the page was deleted. Great fun to talk about years later :-P, not so much at the time )

User:PGP

Are you going to manually add the category back to the people from whom it was removed, or at least inform them that the list of users with more than a passing familiarity with PGP and GPG has been eliminated? This one is a little more relevant than most since Category:Wikipedians who use PGP is also a, perhaps more robust, version of committed identities, so in this case, I think this needs to be an exception to the no-automatic rule. -- Avi (talk) 07:29, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Not to mention that if you want to be consistent, you need to remove the admin cat from {{administrator}} which I personally think would be the wrong thing to do :) -- Avi (talk) 07:30, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

removal of A-star trips

Hi, I was wondering why you removed A-star trips. It is a company name etc. etc., but the importance should be clear: for 8 years people have been ripped of by this scam. I would say this would qualify as significant enough.

Hello!

I would like to know WHY my articles on Space Impact Kappa Base, Block Breaker: Deluxe and Hooked On: Creatures of the Deep were deleted DESPITE me rewriting all of the added Features using my own words?? Did you even bother checking the content first? Because I had one more article with the same "problem" and it obviously turned out fine once I made the change - seeing as how the user Dweller removed the copyvio-tag and left that one intact.

If there was still something wrong about the articles - then DO point out WHAT so that I can take further actions as I now try to recover them... —Preceding unsigned comment added by ConraDargo (talk • contribs) 20:40, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Copyright is more than just the exact words being used. If we just took other sources and rewrote their material in our own words, it would still be a copyright issue. You need to compose neutral and non-advertising type language that is backed up (but not merely rewritten from) reliable independent 3rd party sources. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 02:43, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Deleting images

You have recently deleted some photos from aircraft articles on the basis of no fair use justification. While I accept that policy demands that fair use images need a proper justification, no warning was provided on the articles talk page before they were deleted - if this was done then it may have been possible for someone to provide a proper fair use justification (or even a free license) before the image needed to be deleted. I know the image uploader normally gets notified of impending image deletion, but he or she may not be active and may not be the best person to give a proper justification or better license. Notifying the talk pages of the articles that use the images could be helpful here.Nigel Ish (talk) 09:41, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

I understand where you're coming from on that. I must admit, I do not always check behind to ensure proper notification is given (it is so often, I get lazy and forget to check sometimes). Notifying the talk pages is more likely to garner the correct response, as opposed to an editor who might've left. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 16:26, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course what would really be handy would be some notification on the article's talk pages of problems with Commons Images before they just disappear. Nigel Ish (talk) 18:40, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Myst-related articles

Hey there. I'm going to begin working on cleaning up all of the pages related to the Myst franchise. There are several redlinks to deleted pages in these articles, and I was wondering if you wouldn't mind retrieving the text that was in these deleted articles so that I might salvage what I can and incorporate it into the existing articles.

Pages that were deleted (that I have found so far):

• Releeshahn
• Saavedro
• Bahro (Myst)
• Terahnee
• Garternay
• D'ni kings

If you'd like to just place the text anywhere just let me know where it is. Alternately, you can place the text on separate subpages on my Userpage:

• User:OranL/Releeshahn
• User:OranL/Saavedro
• User:OranL/Bahro (Myst)
• User:OranL/Terahnee
• User:OranL/Garternay
• User:OranL/D'ni kings

If you cannot do this action without undeleting the page, please let me know so that we can set something up. Also, please let me know if you are unable to do this.

Please consider joining the working group for the WMF DC Chapter

Please consider joining the working group for the WMF DC chapter. Since we have a very active and very community oriented DC/MD/VA area group of Wikipedians, it only makes sense to develop it as a chapter, especially given the recent changes to the Board of Trustees structure, giving chapters more of a vote. Hopefully we will be either the first or the second officially recognized US Chapter (WMF Pennsylvania is pending as well), and hopefully our efforts will benefit WMF Penn as well.

Apparently, they were uploaded, with out the proper copyrights. There was a warning that appeared, so the copyrights were added in accordance with the policy, but it true bureaucratic fasion, the whole automated process deleted the images WITHOUT CHECKING IF THE COPYRIGHTS were in place, if they were proper or were in place.

Also funny, how after two weeks, the ability to upload to wikicommons still has not been granted...

Is this right?!?

Am I reading this correctly? If I am.. this is one of the most worrying things I've ever seen any admin say. I've concluded lately that those supporting Betacommand regardless of circumstances are actually a bigger part of the problem than BC himself. Beta is (I assume) a kid who doesn't know any better. His behavior continues to be so unreasonable that I can only assume he keeps it up because he has some crowd of supporters somewhere, cheering him on. I blame this crowd of supporters for the huge role they play in this problem. They need to stop. You are declaring yourself one of them, even to the point of intending to unblock him regardless of circumstances?!? Beta has been a continuous problem for way too long, and if it weren't for people unblocking him, this problem could, just maybe, have been solved long ago. This declaration of intent to interfere with anyone attempting to solve this problem just baffles me. Am I missing something? Friday (talk) 15:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Friday please remember what happens when you AssUMe. Im probably older than you. I have found the best method for working is to make myself perfectly clear. Hand holding and codling are very ineffective in most cases. Being frank and making my point clearly is more effective than not. people clearly stating the facts and calling spades spades results 98% of the time in clearer communication. β^{_{command 2}} 15:23, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I've never known you to make yourself clear. Indeed, some of the findings in one of your arbcom cases involved your repeatedly poor communication. Do you really not see that this is a problem? Friday (talk) 15:27, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

You really do? Man, I just don't see it. Of course, I know Beta only from what he does on the Wiki. Do you know him from somewhere else? I'm no fan of simpering insincerity masquerading as civility either, but being "nice" is not my problem with Beta. You simply cannot collaborate with him- his communication skills are terrible. This is a collaborative project, and he's fundamentally incapable of collaborating. He does unreasonable things way too frequently and no amount of people saying "please cut that out" has had any effect. Editors are like bees- a single one is (usually) fairly insignificant. Where you see good work, I see him poisoning the hive. What is it that he does that you consider so useful? What would it take to get you to step back from the situation and stop promising to interfere? Friday (talk) 15:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

I presented evidence on this long ago- see Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Betacommand/Evidence#Evidence_presented_by_Friday. Since then, I've mostly given up trying to talk to you. I see that others have sometimes tried, and I don't see that they get any different results than I got. I don't have specific earlier examples handy, but the reason I gave the evidence I did was that by that time, I recognized this as a recurring problem, rather than just an isolated incident.

Image deletion: Empower plug

Hi, today you deleted Image:Empower plug.jpg on the basis of a lack of licensing information. I took and uploaded that image. I wish that you had left me a message at the beginning of the seven days, but what's done is done. I would like to reupload the image, this time with the appropriate licensing info. Do you object? Also, as an admin, can you look into the history of the Empower page and tell me what happened to it? I would prefer if you replied on my talk page. Thank you!

Repeated vandalism by anonymous user 41.208.48.1

Hi,

I need your help. If you would be so kind as to look at the edit history of Darren "Whackhead" Simpson, you will see repeated edits by the above user, reverted by myself. This user has done nothing but vandalise that article and many others. If you will then look at that user's talk page, you'll see a request by me to stop vandalising that article, for which I received no response. There are also numerous warnings about vandalising other pages.

Is there anything at all that can be done about this?

--GrahamDo (talk) 11:01, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Ctrl+Alt+Del

You semi-protected [14] this article on 22 August 2007, citing IP vandalism, BLP problems, and OTRS ticket 1053945. An IP editor, who to my eyes looks to be on a stable IP, has asked John Carter to unprotect. It has been almost a year, but given the OTRS ticket, I don't know if there might be greater concerns than those merely visible in the article history. The page logs show a move vandalism since your semi-protection, and significant edit warring and disputes. So I don't know if the semi-protection is accomplishing anything either. GRBerry 14:10, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Oh wow that was awhile ago, I had completely forgotten about that. I'm not on OTRS anymore, so I can't read the ticket, but it was an issue with IP users primarily (at the time), so a full protection wasn't warranted. Do whatever you think is best :-) ^demon^{[omg plz]} 14:14, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I've looked at the ticket and decided to unprotect the article. The vandalism complained to at OTRS seems to have come from an individual or small group of individuals, they may have lost interest and moved on in nearly a year. I've watchlisted it and will protect again if heavy vandalism resumes or there are further BLP violations inserted. WjBscribe 14:42, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Unified user ID

My user ID is 1482496 but surely your number (326) is related to the unified log in. How would I go about finding ID relevant to my account? Cheers, James086^{Talk | Email} 13:21, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Just passing by, hope ^demon won't mind my answering this one... It's 139 according to the list of unified accounts. WjBscribe 14:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Wow I must have seen the notice that it was live really early. James086^{Talk | Email} 14:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Probably. The alternative way to end up with a low number is if someone with that ID had their global account deleted - i.e. so they could be renamed locally before bug 13507 was fixed. When that happens, I believe the ID number the now deleted account had is allocated to the next user who unifies their login. WjBscribe 15:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

That would be odd, I assumed it was an autoincrement column, but I could be very wrong here. In any case, thanks for answering (I couldn't remember the /ca.php part). ^demon^{[omg plz]} 15:29, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Actually on reflection I may be mistaken - there seem to be missing numbers on the list, which suggests that the IDs of deleted accounts are not reassigned. WjBscribe 01:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

A Concern About the Cyndi Lauper article on Wikipedia

Hello ^demon

I have been a user on Wikipedia for quite some time. I enjoy editing here and creating articles when I have the chance.

But I would like to bring up something regarding the Cyndi Lauper article.

When I clicked on her name from another article on the site, I saw that there was the "silver lock" symbolizing "semi-protected" status and that it was indefinite. But before I signed in, I saw that the "edit this page" title was still there where anonymous users could still edit the page with no problems.

Was this just instilled recently? Do any of the administrators, including yourself, know anything about this? I also left this as a topic on the articles discussion page.

Again, this is simply a concern and I thought that since you were an administrator, I thought that I would bring this to your attention. Thanks in advance for any answers. Frschoonover (talk) 15:31, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Chinese apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion.

Thanks for uploading Image:Fulham crest.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. 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

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.

Akbar S. Ahmed

Hello,

My first and only time using wikipedia was in Aug/Sept of 2007. My interest was "Akbar S. Ahmed". I'd like to speak with you regarding why this page was deleted. Why can I not locate the history of changes prior to Feb 2008?

I'd like to begin work on this page again and would like to have open contact with you. My intent is to add information in a legitimate, informative and respectful manner. If I someone add information that is not allowed (I have looked at the biographies of persons rules) that I completely understand and respect that it will be removed. But to remove an entire page? Delete its entire history? I am confused about this. I hope that people can look at my work and add and deleted accordingly- not delete an entire page....

Hello ^demon

Could you help point me in the correct direction. As, Joewurzelbacher2010 has been deleted (while I was in the process of writing the article), do you know where I may get a copy of the article that was partly constructed (the copy that was deleted) so that I may work on it to complete it and then resubmit it in the future when it is ready? Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 11:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Demon, Ism asked my help on this. Under what provision of WP:CSD did you delete it? Not t hat I think it would make a good article by itself, but I can see no relevant possible provision of speedy. A7-web was the latest tag placed on it--but it is not web content, in any sense I understand the term. It's a political campaign. I really think you should simply restore it, and then either propose a merge or send it to AfD, or persuade the ed. to withdraw it. Iwill of course userify it for him if you do not, but I hink this was a misuse of speedy. DGG (talk) 03:09, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead and userify it, I just hadn't gotten to it yet. I'd be willing to argue that the "Web Content" CSD would apply here.

Hi -- Sorry about that. I'm still feeling my way around and I do appreciate your comments. I made some more detailed and specific comments on the undelete page - I wonder if I could bother you to take a look and see if that modifies your opinion? I thought I was redoing this properly this time, and I'd hate to have all this work go down the drain (in particular since the guy's book changed my life), and would be interested in any suggestions you might have. I thought the media list looked impressive - is it not impressive, or am I just formatting it wrong again? I really appreciate your time.Camera123456 (talk) 21:37, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

I looked over the guidelines and it seems like Dr Phil, Fox News, FHM, Maxim, Globe and Mail, Radar, The Pickup Artist, The Game, and the dozen or so more minor sources and profiles (most of which are about Savoy specifically, not general interest stories) would be notable. Am I missing something? I would love any feedback you might have.Camera123456 (talk) 22:38, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

A question

Hey, not sure if you are right person, but you are admin so I will ask you. Can you please do something about Montenegrin related articles on Wikipedia. On every page Serbs edit it and put "Serbian" language, even though official language is Montenegrin, and not Serbian. Can you please help us, as there is no limit of Serbian aggression, even on Wikipedia. And it will show that Wikipedia respects every country constitution.

Past Northcott Theatre Company Productions page - deleted

Hi

I spent quite a bit of time formatting the list of past Northcott Theatre productions for Wikipedia after it was removed from the corporate Exeter Northcott (as it's now known) website. I was disappointed to discover it's been deleted. Why was this done? The list is an important list of the theatre's past shows and has no commercial value, but a great deal of educational, historical and research value. Could you reconsider?

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Fulham crest.jpg)

⚠

Thanks for uploading Image:Fulham crest.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 22:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Deletion

Hello there! You recently deleted my new article on the grounds that I did not express why it was important or relevant.

Deleted Image CantrII

I posted this on your talk page a while back but haven't received an answer and your talk page has been cleared since then:

"The image CantrII.jpg was deleted on June 22, 2007. This was being used for the page Cantr II which was deleted. This page is being recreated on Junesun's wikipedia profile. I would like to have this page recreated very soon, with this image. I don't know if you can "undelete" an image, but is it okay if I make a new image for CantrII.jpg for the page? Also, any advice you have about the Cantr II page would be appreciated. Joshuamonkey (talk) 22:02, 4 June 2009 (UTC)"

Thanks Joshuamonkey (talk) 21:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

A Request For Advice

It is my understanding that you are a mediator emeritus. If that is true, (and assuming, of course, that you are able and willing to help me) then I would like to request from you any advice that you might have in regard to becoming a mediator. I like to believe that I have the temperament for such a duty.
Respectfully yours,
--NBahn (talk) 16:01, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I really don't have any great advice :p Personally, I don't think I was ever really good at it...I was better at being the chairman and helping to coordinate the various activities, not the actual mediation itself. You'd probably be better off asking an active mediator. Sorry I can't be of any more help. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 19:29, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Omidyarian self-promotion

By any chance, was your recent edit activity inspired by something you found here? Just curious to see if the work of the Internet Review Corporation may be useful to certain Wikipedians. -- Thekohser 19:35, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I can say that the blog post caused me to take a look at the article. I saw a lot of extra redlink cruft that I thought would look nicer cleaned up :) ^demon^{[omg plz]} 13:12, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of profile

Hello, I left you a msg. on or @ the 20th of August and have not yet had a response.

It was, apparently, discovered that the profile was not licensed. AT the time of original submission of profile, licensing was not, required.

I did not submit original profile and ask that you please reinstate it, until the originators choose their license.

There was no mention of a license needed for the entire profile, so we were unaware of that requirement.

Please respond to me at nell.okie@gmail.com

Thank you

I deleted the page because it was a clear copyright violation from an external site. We can't use other people's text (even if they don't claim copyright) because all text contributed here needs to be under a free license. Unless it was explicitly released under a free license (which I find no evidence that it was) then the page can not be reinstated as it was. You're more than welcome to write a fresh article using reliable external sources if you would like. ^demon^{[omg plz]} 17:10, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

Open to Recall

I note that your admin privileges are open to recall. I would like to suggest that your admin privileges be recalled/revoked. Your block of me, which has since been lifted, was innappropriate, overly hasty, and lacked sufficient consideration/research. It was also needlessly disruptive, which is not good for Wikipedia. First, a simple google search would have revealed that my name was the only instance of such a name on google. Even your name, as I have pointed out, is more similar to ongoing companies such as Demon, Inc., than is mine. Second, you could have asked me questions if you had any rather than take the harsh step to block me. Third, if you had looked at my edits, you would have noted that there was nothing innappropriate about them, and you would also have seen that another admin made me a confirmed user right before your block because a) my edits were constructive, and b) I had some time-sensitive edits to make. Fourth, you failed to delineate your reason in your block, only putting the template on my page, leaving the other admin who was seeking to lift the block to have wait -- further delay -- for you to indicate what your reason had been. All in all, your use of your admin privileges in my particular case were an example of poor exercise of powers, without sufficient thought, dialogue, explanation, and researc before exercise, resulting in a disservice to me and to Wikipedia.--VMAsNYC (talk) 20:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for your response.

I was informed that the copyright holder submitted a license on Thursday, 3 September, PM, and wonder when the profile will be reinstated.
