Help me

A while ago I uploaded an image (Image:Cutkd badge.gif) which was subsequently deleted. I have since misplaced the image and require it for another purpose. Would a copy of it be located anywhere on this site or has it been deleted entirely, and if there is one, please could an admin retrieve it for me. Thanks--CUTKD 22:44, 23 March 2007 (UTC)}}

Speedy deletion of Markus Jiskra

A tag has been placed on Markus Jiskra 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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Skomorokh 09:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Feat Factory

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Feat Factory, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

No sources to support the notability of 'Fear Factory' if the British team do train their it might be notable but sources are needed.

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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. Nate 14 81 10:47, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry typo --Nate 14 81 10:53, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Simply deleting the tag doesn't make it go away or hide. That warning is strictly for readers to know the article is potentially nothing but vandalism; you don't think the nomination really lies elsewhere? Daniel Christensen (talk) 14:18, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Userpage

{{helpme}} I'm not great at formatting things here. Can someone please move my taekwondo userbox so it sits to the right of File:Taekwondo.svg. Thanks!!! C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 15:09, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

I'll take a look. -- Chzz ► 15:11, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, I don't think it can be done. If the image is taken out of the infobox, it can't be put on the right - you can't have text-pic-infobox. If you try, the pic doesn't appear until the end of the infobox, underneath it.

Same problem if I try to put it on the left within the text, because it won't appear until after the infobox.

Can you clarify what you're trying to do? Is it because you think the infobox is too long, with the picture and the logo?

-- Chzz ► 15:18, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Adding:

I've played around with the infobox template formatting, and the only way to get the 2 images side-by-side is by messging about with the code that is generated by the infobox template. That means not using the template directly, therefore if the template got updated this particular page would have to be changed manually. I don't think that's a good idea.

One proposed solution would be to use image editing to make a single image file that contains both the logo and the picture. That might be the best answer.

If I can help further, please leave me comments on my own talk page.

Thanks, -- Chzz ► 15:50, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

The pint

Thanks a lot ... I'm not a serious drinker, but that looks really good right now. Shame I'm not in a place where I could drink it. Perhaps you could ship it across the Atlantic somehow?

Saw your heaping praise at AN. I appreciate it, but I'm just doing my job ... I start off every wikiday with a tour through AIV, UAA, CAT:RFU and then try to verify at least five DYK hooks. So it just came naturally. Daniel Case (talk) 15:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Thanks...

No problem. I see you were crafting your own warning messages. I find it easier to use the ones suggested at WP:WARN. Just a suggestion. Anyway, thanks for the report, Spencer^{T♦Nominate!} 15:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Obama

I have an outline of a lengthy and legitimate article at User:THF/Obama with not a single "nutball conspiracy theory" in it. I'll draft it off-wiki this weekend. I encourage editors to participate in this project by sending me sources (or perhaps fully drafted paragraphs) rather than battling at DRV or on the Talk:Obama page about intermediate stages. If we present a fully-sourced, well-written neutral article, there shouldn't be a problem -- and if there is, it will be pretty damning of Wikipedia. THF (talk) 15:48, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

Counter Vandalism

{{helpme}} I am trying to use user:Lupin's Anti Vandal tools, the code for which I have inserted at user:CUTKD/monobook.js. I would like some assistance using the "Recent IP edits" function, as at the moment I cannot use the roll-back feature in a new tab/window - each time I attempt to revert vandalism I have to click "back" to return to the page, which as I'm sure you are all aware is extremely inefficient and defeats the object of the tools. I'm also unsure of how to use the warnings feature, and how to select different grades of warning template. Thanks, C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 07:59, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

You can open the rollback feature in a new tab. I think the warning level is automatically chosen. fahadsadah (talk,contribs) 08:11, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Ok so the rollback function seems to be working quite nicely (although half the time it doesn't automatically click save :S). I still can't get the warnings to work. The editing page comes up, with a "Your recent edits..." summary in place, but no warning template from me issued and no automatic save :S Any ideas what's going wrong? C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 08:31, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Try using Twinkle for warnings; Lupin's tool hasn't been maintained for a long time and most likely has a lot of latent bugs. --Closedmouth (talk) 09:36, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of DJ Talent

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article DJ Talent, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Notable for one event it seems and not very notable at that. No independent third party refs.

My understanding of the three revert rule is that it does not apply in the case of persistent vandalism, which is exactly what was going on- a blocked user was abusing their talk page. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 08:48, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Deion/Deioneus

Hi

Re these unexplained reverts: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Deion is a dab page; Deioneus says "In Greek mythology, Deioneus (Greek: Δηιονεύς) or Deion (Greek: Δηίων) is a name attributed to the following individuals:"; I presumed the article name must be the more "usual" of the two? 58.8.15.66 (talk) 10:24, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Deion is an acceptable alternative for Deioneus, thus you could argue there was no need for you to change it in the first place. That said, you are probably right, so if you wish to change them back again, I won't revert this time. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 10:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Hogus.png

A tag has been placed on File:Hogus.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Since the block duration is only 24 hours, there's really no point appealing it as by the time I can prove to you that the latter image was not a copyright vio, the block will have expired. That said, once I do clear my name, I will expect a full apology from those involved. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 21:59, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

If you believe this block is unjustified, you are free to contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. — Aitias // discussion 22:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

To CUTKD: Please understand how your situation looks to an uninvolved administrator. You uploaded photo's of the Olympics that, by virtue of their quality and proximity to the events themselves, it would be quite reasonable to presume were taken from the Press pit; there is no photography date or metainformation. In almost all cases where such characteristics as these are present, the upload is a copyright violation. If you're able to prove to the contrary, then please do so, and by all means, the block will be lifted; but it's unreasonable to "expect a full apology" from all involved when you haven't provided the required information in the first place.

What the hell? The user is massively abusive and has over thirty socks, many of which the user used to try to get others blocked. Seriously, how the hell can you assume good faith with someone who tries to get others blocked for nothing in his free time.— Dæ dαlus ^Contribs 08:15, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

No, this ban is not out of the blue. The user was previously blocked indefinitely, awhile back, for continuing to evade blocks in order to harass others. Where the hell is your good faith coming from? This user certainly doesn't deserve it. This ban is simply to make it formal, instead of the informal ban he already has.— Dæ dαlus ^Contribs 08:47, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Wait, why would anyone ban him? He's a good user -- I had an exchange with a highly maligned user in 2007, and then a mate deleted a section of an article [easily reverted] under my login, as well as the obviously tongue-in-cheek "threat" of a revert war I "engaged in," and CUTKD was here for us all to give me a "stern talking to" :) Please realize that CUTKD is here for us all, and is good.

DJ Talent Remark

Cool your jets, buddy. I was involved in no evil plots, I did not attempt to delete this article twice and behavior such as this in bordering on violation of WP:AGF, WP:C and WP:OWN. If you'd like to maintain a respectable and dignified editor personality here at Wikipedia, future discretion will be more appropriate than the low-brow, childish mocking you have exhibited thus far. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 13:53, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Your evil plan to have this article deleted has failed for the second time. Ha!

Your rhetorical, mocking laugh exhibits incivility and the lengths you go to champion this article (in becoming excessively defensive in apparent violation of WP:AGF, together with your apparent incivility) may appear to be a stance against those who seek to oppose an article that you created, thus bordering on making it appear as though it's your article to defend. DRosenbach ^{(Talk | Contribs)} 18:21, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Its his personality, he enjoys maligning others, but deep down somewhere he wants to do good, so let it slide. Hrhadam (talk) 21:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

WP:ANI

You need to be really careful about making overt claims of sockpuppetry, such as by tagging user pages. If sockpuppetry is suspected, and there is evidence, then a sockpuppet investigation should be initiated. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 09:16, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Ok... I thought someone was initiating an investigation anyway? Or have I misread the thread? C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:18, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I don't see anything listed (yet) in Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations. In fact, what I said to you above I should first have said to the other guy who actually "put you up to it", someone named RS. Which I will now do. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 09:26, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Ah ok. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:20, 28 M 09:31, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

In my latest comment on ANI, I'm essentially challenging RS or RCS or whatever it is, to find evidence for an SPI. Lots of users will support other users for whatever reason, which doesn't necessarily make them sockpuppets, even though sockpuppets will certainly do that. However, sometimes sockpuppets will even appear to oppose themselves, to divert suspicion.

I answered on my talk page. You know, my username is not so difficult to remember correctly, i take offense at the way you make fun of it, especially since we already met (not IRL, to be sure). Cheers, --RCS (talk) 09:46, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I'm not making fun of it, I actually do have trouble remembering user names unless they stand out in some way. Because I put a comment on your page, you're on my watch list for the time being, so I should be able to remember it now. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 09:48, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

I've warned Drew about the above; however, you should stay away from saying such things, which are pretty incivil, and could be construed as personal attacks. ╟─Treasury Tag►hemicycle─╢ 11:01, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:CUTKD/List of enemies

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks.

Blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for Disruptive editing, including the creation of the attack page User:CUTKD/List of enemies, copyright violations, and other disruption despite warnings. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. PeterSymonds (talk) 01:36, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

CUTKD (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am very sorry about some of my recent edits. I have been extremely stressed, especially when a few things didn't go my way, and whilst I appreciate that creating the "List of enemies" article was a totally reprehensible act (I know it was wrong and am very angry with myself for creating it) I did try to keep it within user space and out of the way. I hope that, upon reviewing my contributions, you see that I have been an active and willingly constructive editor most of the time, who has been prepared to perform numerous manual reverts for the better of the encyclopedia. basically, I am asking for a second chance. I know that I've done wrong, and gotten myself into a few squabbles recently, but I promise to turn that around. If unblocked, I will try to concentrate on article creation/building, especially in the area of taekwondo which I know a lot about. I would also like to continue blatant vandalism reversion, but will refrain from joining discussions for the time being, and will certainly ensure I say nothing provocative from now on.

Decline reason:

Due to how you handled the stress of editing, and being that it's the second block in appox one week; I believe you should take some time off and reflect on things. I think there will be more sympathy for an request for unblock after some time has elapsed, perhaps a few weeks. When you do ask in the future, please ensure you detail where you plan to do the article creation you speak of and give further insurance that you understand our policies on civility, copyright, etc. Nja²⁴⁷ 07:31, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

That seems fair enough. Ok, consider me on a "blocked wikibreak" until 1st July. I shall use the month in between to reflect on life, and will then post another request around that time detailing my plans as an editor. Thanks! C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:20, 28 M 07:35, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

unblock|1=Hi everyone again. First off, a big apology for the way in which I conducted myself previously. I have had a good 40 days off wikipedia now, and I feel I have finally calmed down and am ready to resume editing if you are willing to give me a second chance. To address the points raised in the previous decline:

1. I intend to resume editing within the range of taekwondo related articles only, as my editing career began. Hopefully I won't see much controversy there. To begin with, I want to fix a few red links and grammar/layout issues such as can be seen here. Beyond that, I want to create articles about any notable contemporary athletes whom am knowlegable about, especially olympians as of 2008 Beijing. I will be particularly useful in updating their competition records and achievements. I wish to stay away from places like ANI and AIV for the time being.

2. I will be refraining from uploading any images, and certainly will not be copying and pasting material from websites. As far as copyright issues go, I am aware that I can only use images if somehow I can prove author consent, and whenver I write passages within articles, especially about contemporary athletes, I wil be sure to reference at the end any articles I have used for guidance.

Hope that clears things up, and I hope you allow me to be unblocked. I will be happy to elaborate further if required. Thanks, C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:20, 28 M 13:23, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

P.S:
3. Oh and a note on civility. I know that swearing, personal attacks and rudeness etc are unacceptable. Please rest assured I will not be indulging in that again.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I have decided to give you a second chance. Please do not abuse it or you will be reblocked without warning. Good luck.

Request handled by: PeterSymonds (talk) 23:55, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.

Thanks!

First off, thanks for giving me a second chance, it is much appreciated. Secondly, {{adminhelp}}

can I ask for IP exemption back please, as per this previous request? I would be very grateful as I am often editing from shared institutional IP's which have a habit of getting blocked. Oh, and whilst you're at it, I don't think my talk page needs protection anymore (well I hope not anyway!). Cheers, C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:20, 28 M 11:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

As a non-administrator, I cannot fulfill your request, however I've changed your template above, and will hand it on to an administrator for review. Cheers, — Deon555^talk_{I'm BACK!} 12:10, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

I have done this. The same rules at WP:IPBE apply, and if they are abused, the right will be summarily removed. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 12:19, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Also on this note, I'm glad to see a case of Indefinite blocking that has been overturned. You have pledged to do the right thing, and I hope you stick to that. I was especially impressed with your patients (over a month) before submitting another {{unblock}}. Good for you, and I hope this little ordeal has started you on the road to many helpful edits. Cheers, — Deon555^talk_{I'm BACK!} 12:25, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Cheers guys! C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:20, 28 M 13:42, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Userpage protection

Hello CUTKD, I have semi-protected your userpage and talk page after a request at WP:RFPP and after looking at the page history. Threats of violence are not acceptable. If you want the protection lifted then that is your prerogative and I would be happy to do that if you wish, just leave a note on my talkpage. Regards, Woody (talk) 14:24, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Resolved

for now

Thanks for sorting this all out. I have no idea who this pest is, but they're really starting to get on my nerves; can't the admins and sysops find out who it is and ban them? I would really like this page unlocked so that normal editors can talk to me as well, especially since generally speaking it will be them I shall be dealing with when I start work on taekwondo related articles. Please can you give my talk page one last shot at being unprotected, and if we can't keep this menace at bay after that I'll concede for now. Cheers, C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:20, 28 M 13:49, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Again, as a non-admin I won't remove the tag above, but your talk page is semi-protected meaning anyone except unregistered and very new editors can still use your talk page fine. As for blocking the individual, let me have a poke through the page history and I'll see if they've been warned or blocked. If you still want it totally unprotected (to allow very new editors and unregistered IP's to edit your page), just say so and I'll get it done for you. — Deon ^talk_{I'm BACK!} 13:58, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Yep, he has been blocked so there shouldn't be much more, unless the user begins editing from another IP. Did you want to keep it semi-protected, or unprotect it? Cheers, — Deon ^talk_{I'm BACK!} 13:59, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

As I recall, the page has been attacked from several different IP's, which is why I played "nanny" here and asked for semi-protection, which automatically puts up a wall against all IP addresses. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 14:15, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough, I don't see any problem leaving the semi-protection on. Maybe reduce it to a week though, and then if it re-occurs bump it back up to a month. — Deon ^talk_{I'm BACK!} 14:23, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

No, it needs to stay long-term. The user was attacked many weeks ago with identically-themed "I'm gonna get you" messages. The user himself was off for a month, and as soon as he came back, the IP was there waiting for him. It needs to be be permanent until or if the user decides otherwise. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 14:26, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

I do a bit of work over at WP:AbRep, maybe I'll have a word to the ISP? — Deon ^talk_{I'm BACK!} 14:27, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

OK, whatever. It was multiple IP addresses, and maybe even some redlinks, though I don't recall for sure. It's also possible that an admin deleted some of them. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 14:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I have 2 IPs close to each other (80. and 81.) and another two close to each other but far from the first. (217. and 212.) I'll get started on that. In the mean time, I'd say this is resolved. The protection stays for now, unless CUTKD requests otherwise. Cheers, — Deon ^talk_{I'm BACK!} 14:55, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

{{adminhelp}} As per the above, I'd like to give this page one last shot at being totally unprotected. Hopefully even if this guy does return we can have him rangeblocked or banned somehow. Cheers. C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 09:20, 28 M 17:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Please could you request this on WP:RPP. Thanks, Chzz ► 17:24, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

They cannot permanently block IP addresses, and they are unlikely to give more than a very short block to a range of IP's. Semi-protection is the only way to keep that guy permanently off your page. Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots 18:00, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd be happy to unprotect for you, but the IP has already shown up twice today repeating the same nonsense. If you'd still like to go ahead, just let me know. TN X Man 22:48, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Reprotected per this. Enigma^msg 11:59, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Ultimate Taekwondo Federation

I have nominated Ultimate Taekwondo Federation, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ultimate Taekwondo Federation. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Nate ^t/_c 12:55, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Wow, first time I've logged in in a long while, the above was a "new message". I know it's a year on, but looking at this article, and recalling what I wrote, I have a feeling the "Ultimate" part was a typo... this is what I was referring to :) C.U.T.K.D ^{T | C} 22:20, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
