Hooters critics
What was wrong with me identifying most of Hooters' critics who accuse it being "sexist" as feminist? It is mostly feminist activists who advance these claims, not guns rights activists or abortion rights activists or human rights activists. Gerkinstock 01:36, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Dear Fozzie!
A beautiful flower to cheer up a beautiful person's talk page... and him in the process! :) Have a wonderful weekend, dear Fozzie! Love, Phaedriel - 00:58, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Regarding your blanking on Juventus
The information is heavily sourced and even featured in the 2006_Serie_A_scandal article, with sources from Reuters.com, Channel 4, La Repubblica (Italian newspaper), Goal.com, etc... this adds both sides of the argument and makes the section on the case NPOV rather than just having the Inter POV. It belongs in the article, and unless you think there is some mass conspiracy by those media forums mentioned, then it is reliably sourced too. - The Daddy 21:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Still grumpy...? ;)

Userpage annoyance
Want me to semiprotect it for a while? Riana ⁂ 03:32, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, JB won't give up till it is.. I actually made a request over on ANI if you want to mark it resolved. I think it's already semi-protected, just need to get his latest open proxies plugged. SirFozzie 03:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- Aye, that he is! I've got all your pages watchlisted now, and his favourite hits, so I'll do my best to stop his fun. Cheers, Riana ⁂ 03:39, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Can you keep an eye on this as well please? After a lengthy argument on the talk page, it was eventually confirmed by checkuser it was Barber on open proxies, and if you check the history he's been adding the disputed information back for months. Thanks. One Night In Hackney303 21:34, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
- That was quicker than I expected! One Night In Hackney303 22:07, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Nomination for Adminship
- I am very honored that you think I would be a good and responsible user of the mop and what it entails, but I have my doubts that I would pass the bar, so to speak. I've already dedicated the next couple months to getting my edit counts up, as well as my vandal-fighting work, and hopefully, by the end of summer, we can certainly go for the mop then. SirFozzie 17:18, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Check your email ;) One Night In Hackney303 23:15, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
- Go for it! You're already a credit to Wikipedia. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 23:16, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

RfA
SirFozzie, I have with great reluctance changed my recommendation from support to oppose, based upon this thread. Of course obviously problematic material is that much worse, but one cannot know merely by looking at text whether the subject of an article might find unsourced material contentious, or whether it might not negatively affect their lives. To take a humorous (but quite true) example, to state that someone spends a lot of time editting Wikipedia might seem to us admirable, but depending on their edit times might cost them their job. To state that so-and-so has a relationship with Keira Knightly might sound entirely unobjectionable to us, but might threaten or destroy someone's marriage. Etc. On top of all that, not everyone wants every aspect of their life covered in detail - we should never be trailblazers in this respect, for it is an invasion of privacy. Please reconsider your stance here, so that I can proudly restore my support for your candidacy. It will probably succeed anyhow, but I want to be onboard.Proabivouac 06:38, 9 June 2007 (UTC)
Removal of episode guides from The Ultimate Fighter
I disagree with your decision to remove this content, but wanted to discuss it rather than simply reverting your edits. There is plenty of precedent on wikipedia for episode guides, albeit often at a separate page. (examples: List of Lost episodes, List_of_Supernatural_episodes, just to use two currently popular TV shows.) What would you think of making a similar page? -- Metahacker 01:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- You wrote, "Thanks for not blindly reverting. Here's my rationale.. the episode guides get undue weight (they're basically 80% of the article) and I don't believe that they would live as seperate episode articles. I kept the Ultimate Finale in there, because it's well established that THEY are notable, however the fights in the Ultimate Fighter show itself are not notable per se, since they are not officially sanctioned (they are considered exhibition bouts, they are not added to a fighter's record, etcetera). Perhaps just a listing of who fought whom, in chronological order would be ok? SirFozzie 01:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)"
- I get your point about an apparent lack of notability. Of course, fighters consider every fight notable; in a sport where you may only have a dozen aired fights in your professional career, each one is significant. I could see a summary: a simple list of victories, perhaps with technique used (as appears in Season 1, precedent also exists in e.g. American Idol, a roughly comparable show). But -- I'm lazy, and don't feel like constructing those summaries. ;) In a case like that I tend to default to more (verifiable, free) content as opposed to less -- why do extra work to make wikipedia less useful? However, this may a place where our philosophies on what wikipedia is differs. -- Metahacker 01:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- There was a discussion already on Talk:The Ultimate Fighter 5 about the appropriate length of episode summaries, and I am disappointed you did not chime in before you took action. While in a discussion I'd probably be closer toward your side on the matter, I'm very tempted to revert your edits just because of the work we're doing toward a compromise is basically undone by your boldness. hateless 20:33, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
- I believe consensus > boldness is where WP's policies stand however. Nevertheless, I do believe your edits were in good faith and explaining your edits on Talk:The Ultimate Fighter 5 will be useful and welcomed. Thanks. hateless 01:00, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Quick query
Hi, don't know if you can advise me on the vandalism carried out to Harley Owners Group? It's been going on for a while on a regular basis from what appears to be the same vandal using 4 different IP addresses. AIV probably wouldn't look at it due to the culprit always leaving at least a day before reoffending. What would your approach be? ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 17:53, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Responded on your talk page, but semi-protection's not likely to happen either, I have put it on my watch list to try to catch and revert. SirFozzie 17:59, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- Guess it's a case of putting up with it for now. The vandal doesn't seem committed to anything more than reverting to his witless edits every couple of days so I guess there's a good chance s/he will get bored soon. I've had the page on my radar for a bit and would be happy to tidy and source it but with my current commitments (not this) it's probably going to be Thursday or Friday before I make much difference.

Vote stacking?
While I agree that you have a point of contention with me regarding the other issues, I'm surprised that you think that I'm vote-stacking with WP:PW, considering that A) I'm not a formal member of the project (I was somewhat pulled in to deal with the constant JB puppets), I have independently come to my vote in each and every AfD I've participated in, and have gone against the WP:PW grain on several occasions [1] and [2] are just two examples. I hope you would strike that portion of your oppose vote, as it is not true. Anyway, have a good day. SirFozzie 22:54, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- My comment could have been communicated better, so I've revised it slightly. My primary concern is that there is a strong groupthink mentality amongst Wikipedia:WikiProject Professional wrestling participants which has led to vote stacking on AFDs, RFAs, and a very real bullying of other contributors to the project despite what is written in actual policy, WP:BLP in particular. I see that you will most likely be promoted but still felt the need to voice this concern regardless of the outcome. Burntsauce 23:14, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
- It's nice to know you're concerned about Wikipedia. Despite the fact you have never meaningfully contributed to a single article, have repeatedly ignored WP:AGF, have repeatedly ignored other user's attempts to discuss matters with you and have kissed admin arse to try and get them to bully other users when you're on to a loser. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹Speak 22:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Meh
There's plenty of fun articles, but I lack the enthusiasm. One Night In Hackney303 14:06, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Maybe this will help
It looks like the only bone of contention in that RFA is the BLP thing. Maybe if you make a statement of some sort on there that you'll enforce BLP with no reservation ... that'll probably help. At least it'll lessen the likelihood that it'll fall on the cusp of there not being enough consensus.Blueboy96 22:14, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
Double check
Hi SirFozzie, I was just wondering if you could double check something for me. I warned User:Lost Angel for personal attacks on another user this morning. They have told me that I'm biased and they want the warning checked would you mind having a quick look at their talk page. This is the diff of what I consider to be a personal attack by Lost Angel on User:Edgarde [3]--Cailil talk 13:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

RFA
With your RFA only hours away from closing, it looks like you will be a new admin. I would like to tell you that I voted for you, and that I believe you will be a good admin! I will be intouch soon to congratulate you!
Good Job, Politics rule 00:35, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
- Since I'm off to bed, I'll offer my premature congratulations as well, and will, at the risk of muddying further other editors' conceptions of your sense of BLP, welcome another admin who well appreciates for what understanding of BLP a consensus exists and appears resolved to act deliberatively and exclusively in furtherance of the wishes of the community, rather than in furtherance of that which he believes the community ought in spirit to want (at least I'm decorous to the exclusion of clarity rather than the reverse; I mean, I guess, if nothing else, to suggest that any editor who evidences a deliberative temperament and avers an intention to act qua admin with discretion and circumspection will surely serve the project well—you have seemed and continue to seem to be such an editor). Cheers, Joe 06:07, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you both, and I appreciate the good words. I hope to be able to live up to all the folks faith in me. 06:18, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

- Wow, I'm stunned. I thought to the last hours that something might happen and my request would fail.. Thank you to everyone who voted for me.. I will try to thank you all personally for supporting me (or even opposing me, because it gives me things to work on), but it is so appreciated. SirFozzie 17:45, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

- Well no. The point I was making that it's possible to create an article about most promotions consisting of that sort of rubbish, but it's unencyclopedic trivia. You'd need articles that talk about the history of the promotion, so something encyclopedic can be created. And those don't seem to exist. One Night In Hackney303 05:40, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

(outdenting) Nice of you guys to have an argument on my page.. (grins, just kidding). The only time I want to see mentions of angles and that kind of thing in a promotion article is stuff like DX and nWo.. stuff that changed the face of the business, so to speak.. I think a lot of it, like talking about "Kid Kaos turning on his family, Supreme" shouldn't be in there, but I try not to go over the top on such things, because I know that it'd be touching off a war, and I honestly do not know that much about XPW, and what I do know, I've had to learn cuz of this stuff constantly happening. SirFozzie 05:43, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Here's an idea. The current history of the XPW article is a complete joke, full of Barber's vanity spamming. So how about....the current version gets deleted per WP:V, then a new improved sourced version gets put back where it used to be? One Night In Hackney303 05:47, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- either that, or you guys and the PW folks build an article in the sandbox, and when done, just paste it in over the article.. you can do that.. I honestly think, however, that the "Sources have to be out there folks" would make any AfD a keep right now. SirFozzie 05:49, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) We should add the sourced version first and keep the history as per the GFDL, not delete it as a get back at JB196. Let's not be vindictive for the sake of being vindictive. –– Lid(Talk) 05:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Some active ProWrestling Users
Could you use your new powers to check out these guys [5], [6], [7], I can't say for sure but they seem to bare the hallmarks of JB, and it took a couple of weeks to route out his last sock, [8], I just thought we could get the jump on him, of course if these are legit users then they need watching anyway because they seem intent on disruption. Cheers. Darrenhusted 18:11, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Professional Championship Wrestling
I don't want to bother you but one user [User:Cwmoneybags] is creating and editing pages for one federation, one notably lacking any notability. He has 382 edits [9] all within pages related to Professional Championship Wrestling. A few editors PRODed articles by him but he removed the PRODs and so I have AfD the main article here [10]. However I was wondering if there was anyway to block him for a short period of time so that other editors could get around to PRODding or AfD-ing the related articles without [User:Cwmoneybags] interfering, he is clearly intent on creating pages for every aspect of the federation page and given his current rate we may not be able to catch up with im if he goes unchecked. If a block is not possible then could you suggest some kind of other appropriate action. Darrenhusted 01:38, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Deprodding articles isn't disruptive, unless it's 1000s of them for no discernible reason. I would hope Fozzie wouldn't block under those circumstances. One Night In Hackney303 05:18, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Would de-PRODding 23 articles count as disruptive, Hack? I've added all the articles to the AfD, the creator is only ususally active late at night my time (afternoon in the States) and so if he disrupts the AfD I may not notice until hours later, all I'm asking is that is he comes online today and attempts to disrupt the AfD that he could have a short block placed on him, or a protect placed on the 25 AfD articles, just something to keep the process under control. Of course he may do nothing but vote in the AfD, but this is just a pre-emptive request. Darrenhusted 13:50, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Not really, as the creator of an article wants to keep it obviously. What I'd consider disruptive would be systematically going through the prod categories and deprodding all the articles regardless of what they were about. One Night In Hackney303 13:55, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Removing a prod is in itself not disruptive, nor 23 really - annoying yes, especially with no improvements made. an AFD is different, he's not allowed to remove that or disrupt it by deleting it, I got the AFD on my watch list and will check the various pages to see if the AFD has been removed on a daily basis, it's not going to be that big a problem now that it's an AFD discussion instead of Prod'ing MPJ-DK 14:06, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yup, you can remove a PROD without any problem. I'd like to see all of the articles gone, but he has the right to remove the PRODs .. just like we have the right to then thtow the whole lot on AfD. If he disrupts THAT... we'll see what needs to happen. SirFozzie 14:46, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

A possible favor?
Technically I should ask this of User:Mailer diablo but his page says he's on an "enforced wikibreak" since he's conscripted so maybe you could do me a tiny favor instead? MD deleted the page for Heart of America Sports Attractions after an uncontested prod, fair enough that's how it goes - no one noticed that the "Central States" territory article had been prodded I guess. Anyway since it is a long time NWA territory I thought I'd take a shot at recreating the article, I'm looking into references to prove WP:N and WP:V currently. - Could you maybe give me a copy of the article text on this userpage link user:MPJ-DK/Heart of America Sports Attractions?

- You need to restore the full history for GFDL purposes. One Night In Hackney303 14:53, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- I thought you're allowed to restore the last version for improvement. Let me ask Guy real quick. SirFozzie 14:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Well no, because by restoring it you've just attributed the entire history to yourself, not who wrote it. One Night In Hackney303 14:59, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- Cool.. ok Guy gave me some suggestions on what to do with it next time, but he said that the article could be restored as a disputed prod as long as it got worked on. Deleted the subpage. SirFozzie 15:11, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
- If someone asks for it in userspace you're better off restoring it there, as people tend to keep track of deleted articles to stop people reposting them. Plus I've seen prods that shouldn't really have been restored (see the history of Politically Incorrect Wrestling) so I need to make sure articles are gone for good.

Well that solution works for me too ;) I was mainly interested in what was in the article originally, I had not even given a second thought to edit history and what not. I'll probably end up re-writing quite a bit from sources etc. I don't see the harm in the user page, now I'll just get on my bike a bit quicker to get enough sources to establish notability pretty quickly.

Julian...again...
Another question (sorry, beginner). I would say newspaper articles are verifiable enough and they certainly make a person notable. In the Julian Dobrowolski article I created there were 3 links to online versions of newspaper articles in which he was often discussed. If that's not notable and verifiable what is?

I would strongly recommend that any such warning not assume guilt, given his comments; even if the other accounts are his friends, the assumption would make the whole process counterproductive.

Sourcing at WP:PW
Sir, obviously the bane of the project is the lack of good sources, other than WWE.com, and obviously having to deal with the bizarre situation of real (re:Owen Hart) and the fake (re:Vince K McMahon) being blurred. However in an effort to treat a lot of WWE for what it is for 50% of the time I have sourced the Hell in a Cell article (ignore the crufty language of the actual article) using a TV template but adapting it for a PPV format (treating each year as a season and each PPV as an episode) and I wouldn't mind you opinion on what you think, such as whether this method could be adopted by the project and kind of sort out some of the BLP issues.

I then refreshed to add my closer's commetn as a note, and found that the AfD was open. So i resaved my close. It seems that after your close User:Kizor edited, and in the process undid your close. i presume that this was a mistake, since his edit summary didn't mention undoing the clsoe. Anyway i wanted to let you know what happend, so you didn't think I just put my clsoe over yours. Since we both concluded "delete" the details don't matter too much, but people's feelings do matter.

I wouldn't have moved for a community ban, except it looks like that Nationalist is currently unblocked. See the block log--his last block was a two-month block by FloNight that expired on May 22. Since it's clear that he's the sockmaster behind TingMing, that was my reasoning. Blueboy96 20:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
- I wonder, though--is it safe to say Nationalist/TingMing is community banned? Given past precedent, no one who has engaged in this type of sockpuppetry has ever been unblocked. I went ahead and listed him at WP:LOBU under Nationalist, with a note that they're both indefblocked and the one-year ban won't start until the indef is lifted. Since a ban applies to the person, not the account, it should be listed under Nationalist (the main account, per the creation logs).Blueboy96 20:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

User talk:One Night In Hackney
Hi. I was interested to see you say I was involved in a dispute at Northern Ireland, and that this would affect the neutrality of my unblock decline there. I really wouldn't have characterised that as a dispute, more of a civil conversation. I certainly don't think it would have affected my neutrality in declining the unblock; I see multiple instances of incivility, edit-warring and (a particular bugbear of mine) the characterisation of a content dispute as vandalism. I therefore think ONiH's block is well-deserved. You are right of course that he has been provoked, but that is a separate issue and is no excuse for breaking the rules after a warning. What do you think we should do now? --John 18:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
- That's unfortunate. I feel bad as I always do when we lose someone; could we have done more to help him? It would have had to be before he got into the habit of calling everybody he disagreed with a vandal or a troll. Perhaps he will come back, under this identity or a new one. --John 19:41, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
User:Pigsonthewing and block extensions
Thank you for your comments at my talkpage regarding the above. I'm quite happy for the block I placed to be extended, or reduced, or overturned. I had simply came across this discussion on AN/I, looked at a few (less than I would have liked, in truth) diffs, and saw that the debate was turning into much of what had been complained of; an editor, with a little support, refusing to counternance the consensus of a group. While many agreed that action should be taken there was no-one willing to provide it and the appeals were getting a mite desperate/despairing. I took the decision to block to give the parties an opportunity to de-escalate the matter, and to consider their positions. That is why I chose 24hours, long enough for people to sleep on it but not too long as to be considered at all punitive, in essence a purely preventative measure.
I really would now like to withdraw if possible. I am no longer uninvolved, but without any knowledge of events (I do not even know what a microformat is, let alone what it might do), so any further input from me is likely to be considered prejudiced. If asked I will again perform an admin function such as blocking in this matter, but will necessarily limit it to the minimum degree possible. I would prefer that the entire situation is resolved by persons better experienced in both procedure and the case in hand. Cheers. LessHeard vanU 19:47, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

One Night In Hackney
SirFozzie, I see you deleted One Night In Hackney's talk page citing the "right to vanish". As you may be aware, the right to vanish does not generally includes the deletion of one's talk page except under extreme circumstances. I am concerned with the administrative actions that lead up to One Night In Hackney's decision to leave, as I feel they are repeating elsewhere, and would like to review the situation on One Night In Hackney's talk page. Would you please consider undeleting it? Thank you. --Iamunknown 21:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hi, SirFozzie. I see you're not editing at the moment. Since you don't mention anything out-of-the-way about ONIH's talkpage in your deletion rationale, I've recreated it. I'd like to review it, too. I hope that's OK. Please just re-delete it if you think the recreation was a mistake. Bishonen | talk 22:21, 24 June 2007 (UTC).
- Not going to redelete it, but I deleted it per the section of Right to vanish that stated that it was a Right To Vanish option, since he didn't have an active block on him. SirFozzie 22:31, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
I hate to bother you...
...but I've f*cked up an AfD. Justin White had already gone through AfD, so when I tagged it the "preloaded debate" didn't appear and I'm stuck, could you delete the page Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Justin White (2nd nomination, which is missing the closing bracket. I'm going to list the other Justin White debate (which does have closed brackets). Darrenhusted 00:46, 25 June 2007 (UTC) And now it's relisted the first debate on the AfD page, how do I sort it? [12] Darrenhusted 00:49, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, I've thanked the guy who fixed it. Now all I have to do is watch 17 AfDs. Darrenhusted 01:16, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
Last bit of pestering I promise...
...for tonight at least. One of the AfD has thrown up an editor who wants to own a page, Vanessa Kraven. And I know I'm going to hate myself for this but I copied the tactics of Burntsauce by stubbing the article, it hadn't changed in six months (between two PRODs both removed by the editor trying to save it) and the seven references are no help. Two are Japanese, two are French, one is a shop site for DVDs and the last two didn't link to a wrestler bio, just the fed. I found the bio pages [13], [14] and stubbed the article because there are no sources for it. Now before a 3RR occurs can you either lock the page as it was, or is depending, and have a word with the other editor. I am going to sleep so I will not be back for at least 12 hours, if you could just keep an eye on the AfD, the editor and article, I promise no more pestering for a week ;-).

Erin Go...
Thanks- I didn't realize we had an article on that pharse- the flag has appropiateness then for the Template:IrishR page rather than the sovereign flag of the Republic of Ireland. Astrotrain 21:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
- I would agree that Irish Republicans use the flag of the Republic of Ireland- however it is not appropiate to assign this sovereign flag to them. We could not use the Union Flag in the British National Party article as a counterexample. Astrotrain 21:26, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

As long as it has a second source to back it up, it's just as reliable. — Moe ε 23:50, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Benoit
I just found 2007 wrestling murder this redirect and I think it is highly unneeded, so I was wondering if you could please delete it. Thanks, Scorpion0422 20:10, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
3RR
This guy is blocked on a 3RR [15] for reverting edits by this guy [16], which may be a sock of our favourite editor in the whole world [17]. I think the 3RR should be lifted. Could you post info on how to report socks, because JB seems to like posting on my page and BS's page and I watching both I don't want to have to bother you to lock him down.

Belated congratulations
Congratulations on becoming an admin! That's good news for Wikipedia. I'm sorry it's taken so long to reply. Personal and professional commitments have cut my Wikitime down to zero recently. I'm going to try to fit in some proper wikiwork when I can, although I must admit the events of the last 2 days have temporarily destroyed my interest in anything WP:PW related.

Thank you for updating the Benoit article, and I'm sorry if I offended you. Cheers, The Hybrid 17:27, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
The Hybrid has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling at someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Happy editing!

Yeah, really I agree with the stance that the admins have taken. The biography articles do need to be sourced, and so on. While the project as a whole may not like it, the blankers - and they are blankers - are correct in their interpretation of the policies, and have every right to do what they are doing. I think this was really a blessing for the project. However, since the non-admin opposition has taken a vigilante approach, rather than bringing it up at the project talk page first, they feel like the pages were vandalized. When the admins saw the truth due to their lack of bias, the project was left gasping for air. The last thing that I did for the project before I left was buy it some more time, more than enough time mind you, to solve the problems without the admins taking action. The project dropped the ball, so I don't feel sorry for them on that note. However, I do feel that the admins as a whole are letting their frustration carry over to other areas, such as page protection, showing bias in their G/FAC votes, ect. Peace, The Hybrid 17:40, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
Right now on Nancy Daus' article User:Scanadiense continues to vandalize her page, despite warnings from me and another user on both his/her talk page and the article's talk page. I checked the revision history and noticed that you yourself had reverted some of their vandalism today (not that long ago actually). Maybe a friendly warning from and admin will make him stop? Thanks. Nikki311 18:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
The article is not protected, becuase you moved it. I suggest you protect it ASAP in wake of the FOX news update. --Evilclown93(talk) 18:02, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
:Check the logs and the history. The template is from before the move. Anyways, I think if you don't have any scripts, the protect button can also say unprotect, and compare to the Main Page, for example. --Evilclown93(talk) 18:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
OK, I did a better test, and signed out. You're right. --Evilclown93(talk) 18:13, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Wrong page title
Could you please direct me to where I might officially raise as an issue the title of the Flag of Ireland page. Ireland is an island and this flag does not apply to the entire island. This article should be called Flag of the Republic of Ireland, or Irish Republic Flag, or Flag of Eire. It is not the flag of Ireland, as such, and this is misleading and wrong.

re:Just a suggestion
And my suggestion is to not get my business right now. — Moe ε 19:41, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about earlier, I was tad stressed, if you hadn't noticed. — Moe ε 23:46, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
Could you please revert the move again until a discussion has taken place thanks. --Barryob Vigeur de dessus 20:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry I meant could you put is back to Flag of Ireland as SqueakBox moved it to Flag of the Republic of Ireland again --Barryob Vigeur de dessus 20:54, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- That is because it is the RoI flag and not the flag of the island of Ireland, SqueakBox 20:57, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- You did it despite no discussion! --Domer48 21:04, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
- Explain how to "discuss" a legal fact? If a judge cited the law to you would you ask for a discussion? The question is, should Wikipedia contain fictitious title pages? David Lauder 08:53, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Bob Hansen (wrestler)
You deleted the Bob Hansen (wrestler) page under the "non-important person" rule, which seems very odd, especially considering some of the other individuals allowed to remain on this site. Bob, besides winning the WXW Tag Team Titles and the most Improved Wrestler Award, has also published 3 books and is now headlining comedy clubs in San Diego. His newest book, Like A Champ, has been his biggest selling book yet and he is currently in talks with several publishers about his next project. This doesn't sound like a person who is "non-important", just a young career starting to blossom. I would like his page restored, so it can be updated with the current info. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasonjaconetti (talk • contribs)
