Hey

Hi! I saw your name at Xeno's RFA, it's nice to see you back. ceranthor 20:38, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Yup, I've been extremely busy as well. Somehow, I've found a way to edit, and work on two articles so profusely that two reached FA. ceranthor 20:44, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
Well, two FA's in addition to the other two I helped with. ceranthor 21:09, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Party of No

I'm sorry, I didn't realize that might be considered an attack page. I've heard that phrase used a lot recently in media and commentary. It seemed like a relevant epithet, even if it might have seemed disparaging. - Gilgamesh (talk) 15:23, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

ycdtot/slime and nikelodian

I suspect my article was a good candidate for speedy deletion, however, the point I was trying to make was that the green slime of ycdtot carried seemed to have carried over to nickelodian for a # of years (may still be a nick staple now...haven't kept up), so it is not taken care of by mere reference back to the ycdtot article section on slime. Hope something can be done to fix this.Slarty2 (talk) 20:18, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Ford review

Hi Ultra. You were recently working on the Gerald Ford review at FAR. It presently has some delist comments, including one concerning comprehensiveness. Just wondering if you still had plans for it. You can let us know at the review. Cheers, Marskell (talk) 23:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

GERSIS SOFTWARE article

hello Ultraexactzz!

you have deleted article about GERSIS SOFTWARE company. The argument for deletion was the A7 rule. But GERSIS SOFTWARE is an international company and it is also particitator of charitable program. Could we rework article where we update importance information and then post the article again? thank you in advance!

Speedy deletion question

Hi, I am trying to post and article for The Titan Agency and keep getting a "speedy deletion" message and have made several edits to follow the guidelines but can't seem to get approval. Any suggestions as to why this is? I don't want to be blocked from editing so I am scared to post my revisions. --Blong728 (talk) 20:49, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

I've pointed this user to WP:AKON, since there is no currently available draft of the article in their user space. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 15:45, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey...I wasn't planning on thanking anyone for voting in my favor until after the matter (to avoid conveying a message that I was "campaigning", but I wanted to thank you for your support. It's been a very rough day with a lot of difficult questions from users trying to poke holes through my request in places I never thought could be criticized, and seeing the first supportive vote of the day made my day much better.  :) Bob the Wikipedian (talk • contribs) 21:55, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

What allegations?

Rfarb case against whom?[1] If you can make out anyone being guilty of anything noteworthy from his very odd ramblings, please do clarify here. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice 00:26, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

I see you struck that comment, rendering my question above moot. However, you've asked the filing party to clarify in light of Bishonen 3. How about you clarify in light of, I don't know, some random Rfc you participated in which has no relation to the current case? Do you see the issue here? This case is not related at all to the Rfc which FT2 references. Your call for clarification "in light of" that other unrelated case is... well, it doesn't make any sense. Please feel free to correct me here if you feel I am in error. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice 02:27, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

Water supply and sanitation in Jordan

Re. Water supply and sanitation in Jordan

There was an error in template:main that caused italics to be turned on and not turned off. That has now been fixed, so I've put the article back to the way it was. Hope that's OK; thanks for the temp fix in the meantime! Cheers,  Chzz  ►  14:49, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Baba Faqir Chand

Today I made many changes in the article. I have worked on tone and language. It is mild beginning. Please see it and if possible hand it over to somebody for language. Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 02:44, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks dear

You have done a very good work. You have wikified the article to my satisfaction as well. A line or two will be adjusted shortly. Mean while I am giving you a link of Hindi Wikipedia where Ashish Bhatnagar (आशीष भटनागर) had brought a photo of Baba Faqir Chand. Similarly I also pasted one photo of Manavta Mandir after learning the procedure from Bhatnagar.(http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%BE%E0%A4%AC%E0%A4%BE_%E0%A4%AB%E0%A4%95%E0%A5%80%E0%A4%B0_%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%82%E0%A4%A6) I am new on English wiki. If you could help bringing those photos to Baba Faqir Chand.(talk)--B3 06:02, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

This is the best I could do 1.(http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0:Faqir_Chand.jpg)

2.(http://hi.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E0%A4%9A%E0%A4%BF%E0%A4%A4%E0%A5%8D%E0%A4%B0:Manavta_Mandir_Hoshiarpur.jpg).

The photo at serial number 1 has been taken from (http://www.angelfire.com/realm/bodhisattva/baba_chand.html). The photo at serial number 2 has been taken form the web site of Manavta Mandir that is (http://www.manavtamandir.com/). I do not think there is any copyvio and it should be free as well. I shall search further and inform you. If you give me link to wikipedia gallery where photos are stored I shall make an attempt. Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 14:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Portrait and Manavta Mandir

I shall require some time to find out the source of photos. I think you are on line right now. Have a nice time. I shall be back.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 14:52, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

There are two now

I have seen the sources and did not find any copyright claim on either of the sites. Hence, I have utilised both the photographs. Please visit the article.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 17:06, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

Sorry. On second and very careful visit I could see copy right message. Therefore, I have removed photo of temple.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 00:42, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Baba Faqir Chand

I have repaired some of the references in Baba Faqir Chand which could not be opened of read properly. Please have a look. Books referred, but without ISBN numbers, are very old (when ISBN numbers were not in vogue in India). Their reprints are not available yet. I think you can verify more references now. Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 14:13, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Redirect Removal

Hi. I'd like to ask for your assistance in removing this redirect from the Through Glass article. The wording "Through the glass" is redirected straight to the Through Glass article. There is a film out with the name Through the glass and thus the redirect is no longer valid. Is there any way you could please assist in removing this redirect? Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 23:09, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Ultra handshake

You penned it, you said it and you have done it. Superb. It seems Baba Faqir Chand revisited the article. I have given more verifiable references and also deleted some. This article, it seems, is now based on David C. Lane's book which has been quoted frequently. I had to quote it along with other non-verifiable references as well. Please have a look. There was an element of surprise in your message when you said that you had tinkered with Hindi. I have not noticed yet but I shall see your art.--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 00:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)

Meanwhile I have added more verifiable references (unfortunately in Hindi). Can we invite somebody from 'Hindi-Wikipedia' to verify Hindi sources. I am not sure whether it is time to remove the message displayed on top of the article.--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 12:11, 15 October 2009 (UTC)
I have read your valuable contributions. Changes in language are appropriate. Regarding your suggestion Chand grew up in a poor and repressive Brahmin family. At the age of ??, he left home to begin his religious studies., I must say that present version of this line has given me at least one sleepless night. I have read that it was due to strict disposition of his father that he sought relief in God's name. At least that was his stated psychological reason. Someone came to him and said,"My son worships (does Bhakti) a lot.". Faqir, instead of praising, asked him to inquire into sexual life of his son. In his own case Faqir has given three reasons - poverty, fear of father and marriage at a very early age. I think we can keep the present version With a background of poor Brahmin family and a suppressed childhood, he sought relief in the name of God which sounds neutral. Changing language is not problem. Can be changed to '...he sought relief in God's worship (Hindi:Bhakti)'.--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 00:05, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
You had asked me to create articles on prominent followers of Baba Faqir. I have created one i.e. Bhagat Munshi Ram, a stub. In near future I shall create another one.--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 12:00, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for appropriate warning. The photo is that of my father. I am the owner of this photograph. I provided this photo to publisher of the books mentioned in the article. Out of these five, three books do not mention any copyright. But the photo is same in all the books. The books did not carry any price tag and were distributed free of cost to the followers of Baba Faqir Chand. Please take a decision on the basis of information provided herein.--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 04:02, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks again for the help. The article is a stub (I added tag just now). My father died on 29 June 1998, but irony is that I am searching for a verifiable source to qoute that fact. Same is the case with his date of birth. My passion is to wikify preaching of Baba Faqir and his life who saved many poor people from gurus and Mahatmas.It iz serius biznis--Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 14:40, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
I have seen a line on the source cite of Baba Faqir Chand's photo. I qouted it here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Faqir_Chand.jpg) Pl see if is of some use.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 14:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the trouble taken. I am looking for better alternatives.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 06:46, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Today I have uploaded a photo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Bhagat,_M.R1.jpg). I have also sent an e-mail to wikimedia forwarding the same photo. Kindly see if I have followed the procedure. I have removed photos (and frames) of Baba Faqir Chand and Manavta Mandir in order to follow wiki rules. We can wait. Meanwhile you can see Manav Dayal I.C.Sharma. I am going to develop it.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 02:20, 31 October 2009 (UTC)
Today, I have given stub Manavta Mandir. It is for your perusal. Its categories are confusing me.Bhagat.bb (talk)--B3 04:16, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

block is not unblocked

UltraExactZZ Claims ~ Evidence

Thanks for removing the block but the page still seems blocked by my IP address and/or autoblocks. Could you please help?

I am very sorry about not understanding the warnings in time about not removing tags. I never have had this issue. This page is about to be deleted because I am not notable enough to warrant an entry. Though I have made an impact on the scholarship of Maya Deren, with a published website and research published in UC Press Maya Deren and the American Avantgarde ed by the world renowned Bill Nichols, and am on IMDB for experimental work - the niche nature of my work unfortunately is going to make me redundant. Sorry for the little people that work hard to bring quality discussions of film and film artists. I have learned a lot about Wikipedia in 24 hours, and honestly, if this had come up in 2007 it would have been more appropriate and appreciated then two years later, based on incurring the rath of Swedish wikiadmins that thought I ignored them when I removed tags about "name dropping" with verifiable info on film artists I have interviewed.

Thanks for your work, and have a nice day.

Admin assistance needed

Hi. Your admin assistance is needed here please. This article is being IP-edited, and unsourced data is added to the article. I have once reverted such an IP-edit, and added WP:V in my revert edit summary. The ip-edits come right back and add the same unsourced information into the article. As you know, wikipedia does not allow original research, which is exactly what this ip edit is adding. The article has 4 reference, and none of these 4 references confirm the data from the ip-edits. Could you please revert all the ip-edits, and semi-protect the page? Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 11:43, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks and Help?

Thanks for letting me know that the article Vince Gotera was under consideration of deletion. Yup, that's me, and although I didn't upload the article, I did edit it, but not as extensively as the current tag suggests. If you look at the article's history, you'll see they were all small tweaks: adding the pronunciation, an image, fixing spellings ... stuff like that. What I'm wondering is this: if you were to undo all my tweaks and roll back to the original version, could the "autobiography" tag be removed? And since you're authorized to do that, would you please go ahead? Thanks for your advice and help on this. Ivan Cortege (talk) 17:27, 4 November 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Terminology for the Description of Dynamics

Why do you delete my page? You give CSD#A7 as reason. But, this article is about an ontology, i.e. a computer artefact (written in OWL). Wikipedia:CSD#A7 states: "This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people, organizations, and individual animals themselves, not to articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works.". IMHO, the second part of this sentence (the "not" part) applies to my article. Thus the criterion A7 does not hold. --ChristianKnuepfer (talk) 17:01, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I thought I could "evolve" the article together with other people. So I started with two sentences which of course are not enough to indicate that the article is notable. It was my fault that I didn't read enough about the wikipedia guidelines. I had in mind the old picture of wikipedia as a place for building articles step by step by a community. So maybe I'm a bit out-of-date... I will try to collect some information in my userspace and then submit the article again. --ChristianKnuepfer (talk) 18:09, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Query about ACE template

Hi Ultra, thanks for your note on my talk page. I've inserted the template into Kmweber's questions page, which had only individual questions. I'll do the same for Fritz. Chutznik has copied over the original page, not the ACEQuestions template, and answered most of the questions <sigh>. I've alerted the candidate to the problem and suggested a cut-and-paste job into the proper set of questions.

One query: should the intro of the template be trimmed so it no longer contains the full information directed at those asking the questions in the previous stage of the election? It seems to be a diversion now.

Your RFC close

I just wanted to drop by and pay my compliments to you on the close. I don't think there was any objectively correct answer for several of the items, but your reasoning was clear and defensible, which is all we can ask of people asked to rule on applications of our nebulous consensus system. Cheers, Steve Smith (talk) 20:11, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

One aspect of the close has been disputed at the RfC's talk page, so I would question that assessment strongly. I don't think it is "defensible" unless there has been a radical change to the way Wikipedia works. Ncmvocalist (talk) 20:13, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
The way consensus "works" is arbitrary and inconsistent. Accordingly, admins asked to close contentious discussions are in a no-win situation, and deserve our thanks when they put as much thought and effort into it as Ultraexactzz did here. Steve Smith (talk) 20:18, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
Allow me to clarify: I appreciate the amount of effort Ultraexactzz has obviously put into writing out his rationale and closing the RfC. However, I don't believe it is a 'no win' situation where enough thought was put into it. As I stated at the discussion, if you could produce a similar RfC where such a low percentage (50 odd) was upheld as a consensus to change, my objection would not be so strong. Ncmvocalist (talk) 20:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you both for your comments. I've added some of my own at the RFC's talk page. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:43, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Setting up SecurePoll

I emailed Tim Starling, who played a key role in setting it up for the AUSC election. He responded that nobody has approached him, and that he hopes we don't want software changes. Where does this leave us? Roger Davies' note at the election talk page suggests that there will be some technical work (does that equal "software changes"?). This is an urgent matter, I think.

Regading [[ List of ISO image software‎‎]]

Hi, Administrator Ultraexactzz

Do you remember that you hastily closed the deletion discussion for List of ISO image software‎‎ on the assumption that hm2k (talk · contribs), as he promised, merged it with Comparison of ISO image software? Well, he didn't. He tricked us. All he did was to copy and paste info from Comparison article at the top of List article. This is a trick because my nomination was due to Content Fork: These two pages were nearly duplicates. Now, we have duplicate information in the same page and he has started an edit war to keep both copies.

I have unmerged the pages and I'm renominating List for deletion. In the meantime, would you please kindly take disciplinary action against this Wiki-deceiver? Fleet Command (talk) 05:14, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

9k (talk) has invited Jimbo Wales to smoke a peace pipe together! Smoking peace pipes promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day happier. Spread the WikiLove by offering someone else a peace pipe, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend who just likes to smoke. Found it.

Spread the peace by adding {{subst:Peace pipe}} to someone's talk page! You can use a parameter to insert the name of the recipient and add your own text to the message with a second. Smoking this wiki-peace pipe does not affect your health.

it was in wikilove templates.

Community de-Adminship - finalization poll for the CDA proposal

After tolling up the votes in the revision proposals, it emerged that 5.4 had the most support, but elements of that support remained unclear, and various comments throughout the polls needed consideration.

A finalisation poll (intended, if possible, to be one last poll before finalising the CDA proposal) has been run to;

  • gather opinion on the 'consensus margin' (what percentages, if any, have the most support) and

Important notice about VOTE 3 in the CDA poll

You are receiving this message as you have voted in VOTE 3 at the Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll.

It has been pointed out that VOTE 3 was confusing, and that voters have been assuming that the question was about creating an actual two-phase CDA process. The question is merely about having a two-phase poll on CDA at the eventual RfC, where the community will have their vote (eg a "yes/no for CDA” poll, followed a choice of proposal types perhaps).

As I wrote the question, I'll take responsibility for the confusion. It does make sense if read through to the end, but it certainly wasn't as clear as it should have been, or needed to be!

Please amend your vote if appropriate - it seems that many (if not most) people interpreted the question in the way that was not intended.

SuaveArt block

For a while now, SuaveArt has been hammering on Seregain's evangelical Christian POV (I'd quote that, but it's not exact.) Today, he nominated User:Seregain for deletion because it linked to a list of SuaveArt's edits. Also, he's previously tried to get it deleted because he doesn't like the quote that's on the page. Nominating the list of diffs would be barely justifiable: nominating the whole userpage was not something I could AGF about. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 20:58, 20 January 2010 (UTC)

Your VOTE 2 vote at CDA

Hi Ultraexactzz,

you are receiving this message as you voted in VOTE 2 at the recent Community de-Adminship 'Proposal Finalization' Poll. Unfortunately, there is a hitch regarding the "none" vote that can theoretically affect all votes.

1) Background of VOTE 2:

In a working example of CDA; ater the 'discussion and polling phase' is over, if the "rule of thumb" baseline percentage for Support votes has been reached, the bureaucrats can start to decide whether to desysop an admin, based in part on the evidence of the prior debate. This 'baseline' has now been slightly-adjusted to 65% (from 70%) per VOTE 1. VOTE 2 was asking if there is a ballpark area where the community consensus is so strong, that the bureaucrats should consider desysopping 'automatically'. This 'threshold' was set at 80%, and could change pending agreement on the VOTE 2 results.

This was VOTE 2;

Do you prefer a 'desysop threshold' of 80% or 90%, or having none at all?
As a "rule of thumb", the Bureaucrats will automatically de-sysop the Administrator standing under CDA if the percentage reaches this 'threshold'. Currently it is 80% (per proposal 5.4).
Please vote "80" or "90", or "None", giving a second preference if you have one.

This is the VOTE 2 question without any ambiguity;

Do you prefer a "rule of thumb" 'auto-desysop' percentage of 80%, 90%, or "none"?
Where "none" means that there is no need for a point where the bureaucrats can automatically desysop.
Please vote "80" or "90", or "None", giving a second preference if you have one.

2) What was wrong with VOTE 2?

Since the poll, it has been suggested that ambiguity in the term "none at all" could have affected some of the votes. Consequently there has been no consensus over what percentage to settle on, or how to create a new compromise percentage. The poll results are summarised here.

3) How to help:

Directly below this querying message, please can you;

  • Clarify what you meant if you voted "none".
  • In cases where the question was genuinely misunderstood, change your initial vote if you wish to (please explain the ambiguity, and don't forget to leave a second choice if you have one).
  • Please do nothing if you interpreted the question correctly (or just confirm this if you wish), as this query cannot be a new vote.

I realise that many of you clarified your meaning after your initial vote, but the only realistic way to move forward is to be as inclusive as possible in this vote query. Sorry for the inconvenience,

Matt Lewis (talk) 14:55, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

The question, as I understand it, is what percentage of support for de-sysopping should be sufficient to result in an automatic removal of the sysop tools. I interpret none at all to mean that there would be no level of support that triggers the automatic removal of the tools, and that is how I voted. I offer no second option, because I don't find the other options to be acceptable. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 15:12, 12 February 2010 (UTC)

The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal has begun

The RfC on the Community de-Adminship proposal was started on the 22nd Feb, and it runs for 28 days. Please note that the existing CDA proposal was (in the end) run as something of a working compromise, so CDA is still largely being floated as an idea.

Also note that, although the RfC is in 'poll format' (Support, Oppose, and Neutral, with Comments underneath), this RfC is still essentially a 'Request for Comment'. Currently, similar comments on CDA's value are being made under all three polls.

Whatever you vote, your vote is welcome!

Question regarding your Previous Deletion of the article Aces of ANSI Art

Hi. I was about to create an entry for Aces of ANSI Art, when I noticed that you had previously deleted an entry with the same name. Do you remember why? Specifically, did you delete the article because it lacked depth or because you judged the topic to be of insufficient importance?

The Aces, or AAA, are noted as being the first confirmable ANSI group back in the late eighties, according to the Computer art scene entry. I was going to research the topic of the art scene further, and I had planned to create a new entry for the AAA. But, I could just create a new sub-section on the Computer art scene entry.

Let me know, so I don't waste time one something that's going to get a speedy deletion. Contact me on my Discussion page or respond here. Thanks.

Pipedreamergrey (talk) 14:17, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Wow, thanks for the quick response. Yes, I'd appreciate it if you would restore what was there to my userspace. I probably won't use it, but I'll look it over.

If I don't have a decent article cobbled together by the time I hit the sack tonight, I'll nominate it for deletion myself. But I don't think that'll happen. I've just watched a good documentary that the AAA figures prominently into, and I think I can find some decent supporting materials. I'm a bit of an Internet history buff, so I enjoy writing this sort of stuff.

Thanks for your help.

KingpinBot's AFDBIO listing

Sure thing, it already skips any page beginning with "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/" (I was having problems with this before, and decided it was too difficult to try and find the transcluded AfD subpage which was causing it) so it was pretty simply to add Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/In closing.
