Tags on the page Samrat Hem Chandra VikramadityaHi ! Please refer to my earlier messages, almost every week, which are not getting any response. I have the same old question, when the tags regarding POVs will be removed from the page. This is amazing that despite putting all references/citations concerning the write-up, tags are not removed. Why don't you verify from various citations if things are right or there is some wrong information. Page is still incomplete and more material can only be added if write-up up to now is okayed.The page contains only the verifiable facts. An early response will be highly appreciated. --Sudhirbhargava (talk) 10:49, 9 June 2008 (UTC) What did you doWhy did you change my thing?

My RFBThank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight (talk) 03:13, 13 June 2008 (UTC) Washburn High SchoolThanks. I went there, so I want to make it the best I can.

Rsnapshot deletionHi there. You recently deleted the page I created for rsnapshot with no warning in what I consider to be a very unfair deletion. Please undelete the page and talk to me if you have problems with the page, rather than arbitrarily deleting articles. Rsnapshot was featured in two notable books published by O'Reilly, and is used by many large companies for backups. It's included with many major operating systems, such as Debian Linux. It's certainly a notable piece of software. SlapAyoda (talk) 22:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for June 9, 2008.

I'm sending this message to every user who has an entry on the facebook but whose picture is currently not visible for some reason. If you are interested in keeping your place on that page, then please restore the image or insert a new one. If you don't care about it, then you can just ignore this message. I will remove the entry within a week for you. See here for more info. Cheers, Face 12:22, 28 June 2008 (UTC) PS: My name is a coincidence. MJPlease further explain why is it considered vandalism to post the location of Michael Jordan's Home. The information is displayed elsewhere on the internet. If wikiepedia strives to have the most information available on one site that info needs to be on the page. I consider it vandalism by you when you removed the information and a disservice to the users of wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jpeterson101 (talk • contribs) SarekOfVulcan RFA Thank you for !voting on my RfA.

What I suggest to you is to read over no personal attacks, get some maturity, and please contribute some content. You will probably blank this message out of haste. However, even if you make such comments to me in the future, I seriously don't care about it. :-) This notice is for you to know that I am aware and others are too of such behavior. Such behavior, IMHO, is low for an administrator, who is supposed to be a leader in the community. I know that some people hate me on this project, but I seriously do not give a fuck. :-) I have my own interests, which is building an encyclopedia, getting free pictures, contributing to GA and reviews here and there, writing, etc. I suggest you do the same - something positive - instead of attacking me or other users, and bringing the whole community spirit down.

Non-Free QuestionFor the Dawn of the Black Hearts picture, what is the "non-free image" part all about? As far as I know, that'd be why it's here in the first place.

Yeah, I had to change computers there, I didn't have time to take it down. No offense taken. With that said, once again, I am attempting to find out whether the band will go with it. Given your previous statements, it doesn't seem you know much about Mayhem. The fact is, they got popular in large part due to the fact that a lot of their stuff WAS bootlegged and pirated. That's actually how the picture itself ended up as an album cover (at least originally, but that's a long, twisted story on what happened from there). I'll let you know what happens with my correspondence. Paragon of Arctic Winter Nights (talk) 00:36, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
RfA thanks Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.) Your detailed supporting statement was much appreciated! I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school... Thanks again!

NetHistoryBuff5 (talk • contribs) seems to have a serious COI on Gerald Guterman. It's the only page the user edits. And the user seems interested only in a puff piece, going so far as to remove citations from the NYTimes, a noted economist, and so forth. He ignores 3RR, and is new to WP. I'm getting weary of the lack of willingness to edit in a cooperative manner. If you can help talk to NHB5, I'd be grateful. Thank you. Smilo Don (talk) 04:46, 8 July 2008 (UTC) WP:HAU, Status, and you!As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU.

Re: Wikipedia:Governance reform followupUnfortunately, I'm a bit swamped with arbitration-related matters at the moment, so I haven't been able to devote any time to working on this.

Re: Fury of FiveHi, with respect, I do believe that this edit was correctly tagged as vandalism. I'm not sure how deeply you looked into the history, but when the article was first created there was a coordinated off-site campaign to maintain the article with all its blatant nonsense and puffery. Unfortunately the forum links now appear to be dead, but have a look at Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/FOVD. In any case, even assuming good faith, I don't see how the IP's edit was constructive to the article, and given previous disruption I think an assumption of vandalism was appropriate. Sorry if you disagree. // Chris (complaints)•(contribs) 22:28, 14 July 2008 (UTC) |
