Response to Erielhonan

Note:the same answer is on Nadirali's talk page.

In which case I will provide a link and remove the bulk response from my talk page, since I specifically asked him to post his reply on his own page. Erielhonan 06:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

AfD Nomination being used in a personal dispute

Whew, it's even worse than that. The nominator used a slander/libel word in the nomination that implies the subject of the article is a criminal. I wrote a group apology, but the nominator needs to delete and apologize. Or failing that, the admins need to delete and recant for him. Milo 15:22, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why I've been included in this discussion aside from possibly canvassing for votes. I have no knowledge or particular interest in this topic, so please don't expect me to participate. Thanks. Erielhonan 00:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Pardon, I assumed the previously unsigned comment was yours. Milo 15:25, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Cult

I'm sure you meant well on copyvio patrol, but I've reverted your deletion of the M-W.com definition of cult. This kind of studious, comparative discussion of definitions is thoroughly protected under the fair use provisions of copyright law. However, the revert gave me the serepiditious opportunity to add the COED British definitions that had been missing until now. Milo 11:57, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

Glad to see you clean it up. As it was, it was also presented in a way that made it appear non-factual. I'll encourage you to provide bibliographical information and/or links for the Random House Unabridged Dictionary definitions as well. Erielhonan 00:34, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Help with a Wiki

Hello, I'm Brain40, I noticed your contributions and I figured you are likely to know about history. With me being an administrator on the Gun Wiki, (second to Jocke pirat) and it needing help with contributers, I figured you may want to help with it, the gun wiki is basically a Wiki all about guns, their history, people that have made an impact on gun history, the technical aspects of guns, and so on. So, would you be willing to help? Brain40 16:03, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

New Article Improvment page for WP:VIRGINIA

Its also a place to request help for an article taht you are working on to see if any other members would like to volunteer and help out. Thanks. T Rex | talk 01:20, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Minesweeper.widget.mac.osx.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Minesweeper.widget.mac.osx.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:50, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Khomeini.10000.rial.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Khomeini.10000.rial.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:58, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:19-2Cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:19-2Cover.jpg. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 15:39, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Alternate history userbox

I am trying to start up an alternate history wikiproject and was wondering if I could use the base of your userbox to create an userbox for the group. Can I? Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 13:25, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, and feel free to join the Alternate History WikiProject. Zombie Hunter Smurf (talk) 20:19, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Disputed non-free use rationale for File:19-2Cover.jpg

Thank you for uploading File:19-2Cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this file on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the file description page and adding or clarifying the reason why the file qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your file is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for files used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.

If it is determined that the file does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator 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. Stifle (talk) 14:15, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

File:19-2Cover.jpg listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, File:19-2Cover.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. Stifle (talk) 11:23, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

YOU KNOW WHAT DETERS OTHER USERS?

Deleting my stuff. I just lost a bunch of work and would appreciate it if you two would knock it off and give it back. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starblueheather (talk • contribs) 02:07, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

You didn't lose anything - there is a page history you can refer to, and it will link you back to previous versions of the page. However, I will ask that you please use a civil tone when addressing other editors, including myself. Name-calling and accusations are not going to work in your favor. Erielhonan 02:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

No, you are wrong, the page history of Tahar Douis is missing a ton of the work that I've done on it. See [1] it's missing a ton of stuff, I ain't lying to you. Somebody deleted it and I'd like it back and I'd like you all to stop deleting my stuff. Can you give it back? That would be appreciated, thanks. And seriously? I was totally civil until you guys deleted my stuff so yeah civility has been working just fine. Starblueheather. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starblueheather (talk • contribs) 02:20, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Except for saying 'you are wrong', that was much better. And you are right - history for a page that was deleted is unavailable. The history that's there would only be from the new instance of the article. But as a non-admin I can't delete a page or access anything that you can't access, so I didn't do it and I can't help you there. All I did was flag the page. Good luck - if you can substantiate the information that you include in the article I'm all for keeping it. Erielhonan 02:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

So, when you said "You didn't lose anything - there is a page history you can refer to" the fact was that I did lose a bunch of stuff and I can't refer to the page history because it's missing a bunch of my stuff? Wow, I'll revise my previous statement: You know what deters other users? Deleting their stuff and then telling them things which aren't true. Thanks again for everything, Starblueheather. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Starblueheather (talk • contribs) 02:42, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I didn't realize the original article was deleted when I said that. Please read WP:DGF. Erielhonan 02:48, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

OK, I read your link and it seems to have nothing to do with our conversation. To recap: You got my work deleted because you said you didn't think it was credible. I told you deleting people's stuff deters other users, and I'd like my stuff returned. You then told me my stuff hadn't been deleted, but you were wrong. I told you again that it had been deleted, and then you realized that you had been wrong and that my stuff had in fact been deleted. Hey, that's some progress! But I still don't have my stuff. That really sucks. As I said, this type of stuff you've done really deters other users. Are you helping me got my stuff back? If not, hopefully you can just leave me alone.

Dear user

I do not know what did you try to do in this edition, why all those capital letters? I've reverted it. Thanks and regards. Againme (talk) 00:39, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I could tell it was a good-faith edit from the begining. May be if you try again. Cheers. Againme (talk) 19:02, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Bill O'Reilly as the "Action Consumer trouble shooter" .jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Bill O'Reilly as the "Action Consumer trouble shooter" .jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" 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. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:04, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

No

Don't continually post messages on my talkpage and email me. ╟─TreasuryTag►directorate─╢ 18:58, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

OK, then don't continually respond to my points on a MfD discussion by telling me what I'm saying. I'd appreciate it if you didn't make a public accusation then censor my response to same.

Here are the posts you deleted from your own talk page, followed by the email I sent you:

---

You seem angry

I assume good faith, but I'm not blind to aggression. Feel free to nominate me for a spanking if it will make you feel better. I wish you well, and hope that if you are upset that things get better for you. Erielhonan 17:16, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

to which you responded in the edit summary that accompanied your deletion - "This message doesn't seem to be conducive to calm, constructive and collaborative editing."

The Conduct of Sportsmen

TT, you have publicly opined that I am not assuming good faith on your part in Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Richard_Arthur_Norton_(1958-_)/Family_History. You even inferred that you would initiate a user conduct action. I posted in response to that on this page, in a somewhat (hopefully) humorous and sympathetic, but direct, manner. You then deleted that post.

The fact is that I do go out of my way to assume good faith and speak diplomatically (if not a little snarky-ironically sometimes) (feel free to latch on to the fact that I admitted to occasional snarkiness). I have never referred to you in a negative way, only to some of your activities that smell strongly to me of vendetta.

If you feel strongly in regard to the quality of my faith, I encourage you to initiate an RFC. Until then, I hope that you can find some peace of mind in the results of your other labors.

Whether you delete this section (again) or respond to it or let it stand uncommented, I have had my last word on this issue until you initiate an RFC. Best regards, Erielhonan 18:17, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

to which you responded in the edit summary that accompanied your deletion (starting out by quoting me) - "'Whether you delete this section (again) or respond to it or let it stand uncommented, I have had my last word on this issue until you initiate an RFC,' doesn't sound like someone interested in engaging in constructive discussion."

My email to you

...engaging in constructive conversation....? Perhaps you need to conduct some self evaluation my friend. You are censoring me and using rationales that seem to be self-descriptive. Please initiate that RFC. It's not gentlemanly to accuse and hide. I want my day in court.

---

I put these items here to make transparent this exchange, and have not excluded any content that isn't otherwise public on the MfD discussion mentioned above. I feel that you are demonstrating bad faith by selective quoting, by deleting diplomatically-worded attempts to address an accusation that you have made, and by generally being implacable and unfriendly. You are a much more seasoned editor than I am, so I hope that I am not putting you off wanting to participate in Wikipedia by being somewhat blunt with you. Erielhonan 19:23, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Rollback

Hello, per your request, I've granted you Rollback rights! Just remember:

• Rollback gives you access to certain tools, including Huggle, some of which can be very powerful, so exercise caution
• Rollback is only for blatant vandalism
• Having Rollback rights does not give you any special status or authority
• Misuse of Rollback can lead to its removal by any administrator
• Please read Help:Reverting and Wikipedia:Rollback feature to get to know the workings of the feature
• You can test Rollback at Wikipedia:New admin school/Rollback
• You may wish to display the {{User wikipedia/rollback}} userbox and/or the {{Rollback}} top icon on your user page

If you have any questions, please do let me know.

--please be sure to warn all the vandals you revert. Twinkle can help you with that. Best, HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 14:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

tip

when you make a revert on huggle and it warns you "...this edit is being reverted. continue?" I always, always say No. :P Peace, —Tommy2010 17:39, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

I didn't see that warning... either blew past it or it didn't appear. Will observe for it. Erielhonan 17:41, 31 May 2010 (UTC)

Hm. It pops out. Usually does. Anyways, if you got any questions I can help ya out —Tommy2010 17:44, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
