NJ & Kings move on

Congrats on the second round...it wasn't easy. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:08, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

To you as well! *GRIN* I'm still buzzing from Henrique's goal there. Amazing! Let's Go Devils!
— V = IR (Talk • Contribs) 05:10, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Yeah my honey is from Philly so she and I (or I'd be dead meat) will be rooting opposite you this next round...sorry. But not fans of the Rangers at all. Coyotes and Predators.... no opinion really on them. You had to be on the edge of your seat those ot's. Fyunck(click) (talk) 05:18, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I was dying through the whole overtime! And when Henri scored I was jumping up and down and yelling and screaming.

That's OK that you're gonna be rootin for Philly though. I understand the connection, and all. Hopefully us rooting for opposite teams will get much much worse in a few weeks! hehe As for Coyotes and Preds, I like both teams but I kinda want to see the Coyotes advance, just because that franchise is having so many problems, you know? I love Rinne though, so I'll hardly be upset if the Preds win.
— V = IR (Talk • Contribs) 05:25, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I was jumpin up and down the same way last Sunday when we eliminated the Canucks in OT. Yeah, I agree on the Yotes... they have so many problems. Hell if the Kings were to play them I could drive 300 miles to Phoenix and probably get seats in a second because of the low turnouts. I hope that's not the case with them in the playoffs.

It's getting off-topic for that discussion now

You claimed that Scottywong was intentionally misleading and acting like a politician by snipping a quote out of WP:NOT. You claimed that he took the statement out of (and changed the) context. You did not claim anything (until now) about the motives behind it being that he was trying to make the two pages contradictory to each other. That's an entirely different argument. You still haven't explained what is wrong with how he snipped the statement from WP:NOT...but I really don't care to hear it anymore. --Onorem ♠Dil 20:26, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I never said "intentionally". As a matter of fact, I quite explicitly and intentionally did not say "intentionally". I stand by my statement, and I'd like to point out that you seem to be taking this to a place that SW himself doesn't want it to go. All of that being said, I've thought that this line of discussion was off topic all day long.
— V = IR (Talk • Contribs) 20:29, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

He's taking it exceptionally well. I happen to think that saying someone is acting like a politician is about the single most insulting comment a person can make. You might not have used the word intentional. Sorry. "Pulling out bits and pieces of a text in order to create (your emphasis) the interpretation that you desire is misleading." Kind of hard to take that as meaning that someone wasn't doing it intentionally...--Onorem ♠Dil 20:33, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

He's taking it well because we respect each other, and because I talked to him. I think it would have died out if you weren't third wheeling in this (although, to be clear, I don't actually mind that you joined the discussion or posted here on my talk page). I'm getting a kick out of the politician statement though! Not least of all because I tend to agree. I still stand by my opinion that it was an intentionally polemical way to state his position, which I believe is not the most conducive way to achieve consensus. People are clearly a bit impassioned right now, due to recent events, which is fine except that it requires caution to be taken when it comes to decision making. You've also stated your support for the "no advertising, anywhere, for any purpose" position, so it's completely understandable that our viewpoints on this are divergent. I'd still "oppose" the proposal even had SW not used the method that he had to propose it; the criticism was always more of a side issue. There are a lot of politics on Wikipedia, but it tends to be handled in a rather naive and sophomoric manner (I'm not talking about you specifically here, mind. I'm speaking in generalities.)
— V = IR (Talk • Contribs) 20:44, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

OK...I lied. This is my last reply. The line of discussion wasn't off topic all day. You attacked the integrity and motives of someone in the discussion. You should be willing to back that up with specific explanations when questioned on it as to not unfairly impact the discussion. --Onorem ♠Dil 20:46, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

I didn't "attack the integrity and motives" of anyone though. And I did back up my comments, quite extensively I think.

John Márquez

Hi there, I believe you may have missed some new sources and also the discussion Talk:John_Marquez#accent here.LuciferWildCat (talk) 02:52, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 28

Hi. When you recently edited Elachista sabulella, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Indigenous (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:52, 28 April 2012 (UTC)

Editing redirects

You are an experienced editor, who knows that moving articles to and from titles with accent marks are controversial. Consequently the move you made

16:51, 27 April 2012‎ Ohms law m . . (Ohms law moved page John Márquez to John Marquez over redirect: Not a single reference uses the diacritics, in this instance.)

Was a bad faith move as you should have used WP:RM.

But your edit the redirect you had created by the move:

17:01, 27 April 2012‎ Ohms law . . (281 bytes) (+255)‎ . . (Nominated for RFD: see Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion)

was disruptive, because it prevented a non-admin from reverting you move, which they are entitled to do as laid out in WP:RM: "If the page has recently been moved without discussion, then you may revert the move ..."

If you make any move in future and then edit the redirect so preventing another user from moving the article back (whatever you motives for that edit), then given this warning it is likely that it will be seen as intentionally disruptive and you can expect administrative action such as blocking-- PBS (talk) 10:08, 1 May 2012 (UTC)

Category:National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics

Category:National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics, which you created, has been nominated for discussion. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments at the category's entry on the Categories for discussion page. Thank you.

108 Stars of Destiny

Hi Ohms law,

Thank you for contributing to the 108 Stars of Destiny merger discussion. The discussion has stalled for five-day-plus periods several times now with no one responding to my latest arguments in support of the merger. Whenever such a situation has occurred in past discussions about other articles, I have completed the merger per standard practice in such instances, and there has never been any problems; either no one reverts the merger or objectors are willing to discuss the merger until a mutually satisfactory decision is reached. In the current case, however, users have been consistently willing to revert the merger but unwilling to discuss potential solutions. As no one has responded to my latest arguments for more than a week now, I am inclined to redirect the individual character articles back to 108 Stars of Destiny again. The reason I have not done so is that I am concerned that someone will accuse me of violating the three-revert rule even though discussion has taken place in-between. Your comments in the discussion suggest that you are in support of the merger. Would you be willing to redirect the character articles to the main list? I would be grateful for any support or recommendations you would be willing to provide on this issue.

WP:Requested moves/Closure review

Requested move of Côte d'Ivoire

There is currently a discussion on moving the article Côte d'Ivoire to Ivory Coast. You are being notified since you participated in a previous discussion on this topic. Please join the discussion here if you are interested. TDL (talk) 02:37, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:The Andromeda Galaxy cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading File:The Andromeda Galaxy cover.jpg. 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 '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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:00, 2 August 2012 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use File:Shergotty meteorite.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Shergotty meteorite.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:

Go to the media description page and edit it to add {{di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 23:39, 27 September 2012 (UTC)

Followup RFC to WP:RFC/AAT now in community feedback phase

Hello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:31, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

December 2012

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. —Theo polisme 03:28, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Please don't speak down to other editors. Also, the supposed "insults" came about because of your action in hatting my comment with a nonsensicle rational. If you want to throw stones, prepare to have some of your own windows broken. Thank you.
— V = IR (Talk • Contribs) 03:32, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

I hatted your comment because rather than discuss the actual content in the article, it simply implied that many of the editors to the article were just causing trouble. "Otherwise, get the hell out of the way!" Regardless of how you many feel, it's inappropriate to bring this up on the talk page—or anywhere, for that matter. —Theo polisme 03:38, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to have offended your delicate sensibilities, your majesty.
— V = IR (Talk • Contribs) 03:42, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Ah, whatever. This is too much trouble anyway. You guys have fun.

File permission problem with File:Eric Rignot.gif

Thanks for uploading File:Eric Rignot.gif. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly ^hi! 01:12, 22 November 2013 (UTC)

St. Feuillien Brewery

Hi Ohm's law. I just noticed this, from way back. Perhaps "widely distributed" is vague, perhaps, but your comment on "top-fermented" missed the mark: the word points to yeasts that rise to the top during the brewing process. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 01:48, 5 January 2014 (UTC)
