Hello Corvus

Why would you alter and/or delete Kevin Ryan? He has achieved a rare celebrity for a luthier -comparable ro Bob Benedetto, Ramirez or Conde hermanos. ASre you a guitar player? If not you shouldn't be doing this.

Charlie Christian

I did not place the image, it was there when I began to edit the page, and first saw it over one year ago (May 2006). Style over substance fallacy does not refute the arguement. The photo pre-dates any album cover. It was used in the late 1980's as an album cover, but the original photo was long before in existence. How bored can one be?Erviltnec 20:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC) The photo you questioned was owned by Frank Driggs Collection, who Columbia/Sony credit on the ca.1987 "Charlie Christian, Genius of the Electric Guitar" re-release recording - the photo is from 1939, and either for Downbeat or Metronome. I will remove the photo, and there will be none until someone posts one. I am a writer, not a web geek, and do not understand the instructions which are contrary to the article "wiki," section "etymology."Erviltnec 21:59, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Pet Education and Therapy

Hello Corvus Cornix- You recently tagged my article "Pet Education and Therapy" for speedy deletion. I have marked it with a HangOn tag. To conserve your UserTalk space, please read my refutation on the discussion page for the article in question and reply to me. Codharris 23:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello Corvus Cornix Yesterday you tagged my entry for Lansdowne Resort for speedy delection and since then I have been trying to ask you some questions in referrence to the same on my talk page. Please read below help me understand the logic of accepting some entries and not others when basically the entries are very similar.

To continue my debate on this deletion I am sending an example of what I am referring to, here is a hotel in Boca Raton Florida article in Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boca_Raton_Resort_%26_Club) Basically with the same information as the Lansdowne Resort with different location. Why is this article OK in the eyes of the editor but the Lansdowne Resort is not. Why am I not getting a reponse from the editor who tagged my entry for deletion on the subject? Cendyn 14:00, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Yesterday I wrote this message in hopes of a reply from the editor who tagged the informational article on Lansdowne Resort which is in the list of places under the city Lansdowne. I have not recieved a reply. Cendyn 13:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)


I don’t quit understand your guide lines for some and not for others. I looked up city of Lansdowne and in the list you have of Lansdowne you have Lansdowne Resort with no information. I simply put in the information for Lansdowne Resort. I see that Wikipedia has many hotels and resort written the exact same way. So why are you considering my entry as advertising, please explain. And why are the hotels and resorts Wikipedia is allowing are ok and Lansdowne Resort is not? Cendyn 13:41, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Your block

Hello, tell me more about this, who blocked you, we need to clean up wikipedia, get rid of some PATHETIC administrators. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Yuser31415/Archive_16#My_Talk_page You have no idea what happened to a certain guy i am trying to clear, wow, i can write a book. Good luck, if they block you, simply walk away, or create account and log on from different computer, otherwise, ip check, they will catch you and accuse you even more of "vandalism"! good luck man! If they block you, try to get some things resolved, but if you can not, don't let them get the best of you. Wikipedia is for those who have time on their hands and for time wasters.

  • I see your concerns just now on this ArbCom page, and I shall try to answer:
  • "I have no idea why I am involved in this. I made one comment..." I am not such how much involvement is necessary before I must notify a party, and I was being on the safe side. My main beef was not mainly with you (even though your comment was not supported by any logical explanation: "If all of Gordon Watts's claims on yesterday's edit which Frederick day listed above are true, then he is in violation of WP:COI. Corvus cornix 17:34, 16 February 2007 (UTC)" Of course my claims were true, but I have not violated COI -at least not in the last several years; That one edit many years ago, before I understood the policy MAY have been a COI violation -but that was years ago -let it go already.) -My beef was mainly with the admin who claimed falsely that some consensus existed for this, that, or the other, when -not even a slim majority existed. In short, I was required by the rules to notify you. (I notified all parties -even those who did not disagree with me -the majority, by the way.)
  • "In addition, there was zero attempt to resolve any dispute Mr. Watts may have had with me prior to dragging me here." If my main dispute was with the admin who executed an illegal action (one not backed by actual consensus: A consensus can not be a minority -hey, Remember, folks - I CAN count), then it would be improper (if not rude) to pick at every single editor who disagreed with me. I would, then, be guilty of scamming aka canvassing! I DID, however, try to resolve the dispute with you -by my posts on the community notice board- my replies were directed at ALL users -you included.--GordonWatts 04:52, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You deleted a legitimate question.

The following question which you have deleted is legitimate.

"Did Howard K Stern require Anna to include adding his name to Dannielynn (Dannie Lynn) Hope Marshall’s birth certificate as part of his fee for legal services?"

By deleting legitimate questions you characterize the Wikipedia as a one sided and untrustworthy organization, contrary to Wikipedia policy and intent.

Should the question not be restored your actions will be brought to the attention of those financial contributors who have decided that either such one sided and personal misbehavior or their donations end.

db-copyvio tag

Hi, when using this tag, please bear in mind the following:-

  1. -You need to included the URL of the page being copied
  2. -Please do not blank the page so the admin can check the text against it.

exolon 23:08, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

  • I would have put a URl on the link if I had been able to find one, but since the original editor helpfully put a copyright notice on the page, that should have been sufficient. Are you saying that if we can't find where the article is copied from, that we can't put a copyvio tag on it? Corvus cornix 23:14, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I missed the copyright message on the original article. I'm not sure what our policy is on self declared copyright violations where we can't find the original, I'd suggest asking on WP:COPYRIGHT perhaps. Always best to include a URL if we can find one of course to make it simple. However the text is left on the page when using the db-copyvio tag - it differs from the standard copyvio tag in that regard. exolon 23:20, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Yugoslav Band Aid

Concerning YU Rock Misija: 1. the video is included in the Overseas Contributors section on the Warner OFFICIAL Live Aid DVD. It is an official reliable and veryfiable source. If you pertsonaly dont own it to check it, it doesnt justify the unsourced tag; 2. The Live Aid article confirms that the unofficial Live Aid recordings (usualy VHS) from the 1980s ARE indeed the only source for full information (cause certain things are ommited on the DVD); 3. I uploaded both the front and the back cover of the single, 4. I will provide a printed source, give me 10 minutes to check the book about the former YU Rock scene. PS. I added a link to the Youtube video, althpough it is not a reliable source, just as a sort of trivia.--Chajeshukarie 00:10, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I can block this person if they are contesting the deletion. If I did they wouldn't be able to contribute to the discussion. If the page is deleted and they re-create it, then they should be blocked. TimVickers 22:43, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

If the page is deleted and they make another that's blockable. However, their username is not allowed under the policy. I think I'll block them for that. TimVickers 22:47, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
TimVickers has fair grounds for blocking the username. I have edited the Envision Financial page, and it complies with all Wiki guidelines; therefore, there are no grounds for CSD. Its content is descriptive and encylopedic -- I'd suggest viewing similar Wiki stubs of other Canadian credit unions including Alterna Savings, Vancity, Coast Capital Savings, Aldergrove Credit Union, North Shore Credit Union, etc. all of which are perfectly acceptable. This page is no different.

Sebastiani

Hi. I must say I am perplexed by your recent move to redirect the Sebastiani page to "caps for Baron", when it seems that the French usage does not capitalize the nobility titles, that most pages on French noblemen on English language wiki do not capitalize the title, and that no page on French wiki uses capitals (in case you disagree, I think you should not make that statement by simply moving pages at random, but by calling for this issue to be addressed in toto). You also failed to make the change in the text. What I find more perplexing is that you did not check for double redirects, even though wikipedia politely asks one to do so when redirecting pages, even though the person who moved the page (unlike us bystanders) has all redirects just one click away after making the redirect, and even though there are quite a few redirects to be made. Dahn 22:54, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't know if there actually was an MoS discussion, to tell you the truth. Judging by Wikipedia:Naming conventions (names and titles), they seem to use no capital when the title is taken from the French (comte, duc etc), and use a capital when they translate (into Count, Duke etc.). I cannot tell what they have decided to translate and what they have decided not to (or even if they have decided anything), but it seems that the acceptance is for the majority of articles to have the non-translated form as a rule. Now, "baron" is the same in French and English, but it is safe to assume that it is included in this pattern for being part of his original title.
I do not object to moving articles from lower case to capitals, but I would like an agreement to be reached about this at a more general level, instead of us using several systems for the same thing. I should point out that it is arguably more practical to keep as close to the French form as possible: when a person has a multitude of names, with a multitude of variants (as French nobles tend to do), approximating the main variant and creating redirects to it is probably the best way of not risking content duplication and involuntary forking, and helps to find the appropriate interwiki links. However, this argument is not an essential one. Dahn 23:13, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh, yes, I understood. Since you mentioned MoS, I just wanted to point out that I do not know myself if it was decided upon, just that it is consistent. If something is decided, and if it should prove to be the contrary of what I am proposing here, I will be moving pages myself. But please don't forget about checking for double redirects when you move other pages. And, of course, thank you. Dahn 23:19, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

You put a tag that the article is not notable. However, at the very same time, I put the article on the BLP noticeboard for review (to whether it was too negative).

Maybe none.Newcolex 23:14, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

DRV comments

Thank you for your comment on the Deletion review for I Lost on Jeopardy. Just as a matter of form for future reference, the usual format for the comments is to !vote/comment to "endorse" or "overturn" the deletion rather than the underlying article. Thanks again for contributing. Regards, Newyorkbrad 18:13, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Notepad++

I noticed you put Notepad++ up for deletion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Notepad++

Notepad++ has a lot of notability 3,883,284 downloads (it works out to be 4.2 TB) [2]

Download.com has 60 the reviews from 60 users, every user rated it 5/5 [3]

If you just search google for Notepad++ you will find tons of good reviews of it. If you program i strongly suggest you try it. --Adam1213 Talk + 07:17, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Whyville

You recently nominated the article Whyville for speedy deletion per criterion G4, recreation of content deleted via an XfD discussion. However, the previous deletion was a speedy deletion per A7, a lack of assertion of notability. As such, the article doesn't qualify for G4. That is why I have removed the speedy tag. AecisBrievenbus 22:34, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps Whyville is speediable per A7. If you think it applies, feel free to tag it as such. I'm not certain enough it qualifies for A7 to delete the article, and I'm not certain enough it doesn't qualify to decline such a speedy nomination. I will leave that choice to another admin. The problem is that G4 doesn't apply to this article, because no XfD discussion has taken place. AecisBrievenbus 22:39, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
I didn't mean to cross-post, but I have raised this on Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Definition of G4, where a discussion about the scope of G4 was already underway. AecisBrievenbus 22:55, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Georgia Radio Articles

I don't know enough about GA radio to correct the articles that User:Georgiaboy9 is making. Most of the information looks correct, but without sources and references, I can't say for sure. I am unsure what to do, other than tag the pages (which you have done), but I figure they will get deleted. Any ideas? Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 18:19, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Neither do I....the more articles there are, the less I have to write:) - NeutralHomer T:C 18:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Your assumption of bad faith is now untenable

Please see Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_adminship/Gracenotes#Ambiguity_of_language for why, and kindly reconsider your 'vote' in light of this further information. I have also stated as much above in the section where I asked you to remove the personal attack, which now appears to be founded on a misinterpretation of Gracenotes' words. Thank you. 64.126.24.12 20:36, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace

Hey, I removed your report to WP:AIV, please give four warnings and then if the user vandalizes after the final warning, report him. Unless it's *really* obvious the user has no intention of stopping and should be blocked straight away, that should be the order of things. Thanks, Yonatan talk 02:11, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I think we can be a bit lenient. There's no problem for us to ban him after his next attempt. Yonatan talk 02:14, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Template:U.S. School

On Template:U.S. School and the associated pages using the template, I am more than willing to get a concensus. However, with such minor changes as switching the infobox to a more standardized format, and making some of the rows optional, I did not think there would be any issue. I admit, the one thing that might be contrued as rocking-the-boat might be the renaming of the options to lowercase and using underscores. So, what do you think? What is the best way to go about this? TeaTime666 02:17, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

It would appear I'm not the only one who finds the template non-standard and/or outdated. A previous editor pointed to Template:Infobox_University, and I think it's an excellent model. What do you think? TeaTime666 02:40, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

My RfC's third opinion finds no dispute with my proposition, so I'm going to resubmit my edits (by reverting yours.) Please let me know (via the RfC) if you have a problem with this. BTW, both Scm83x and D-Day seem to have had the same views on the state of the template, and I believe your reverts were unwarranted. If you have a problem with the edits, please comment on the appropriate talk page, do not mass revert using your program or bot (or whatever you used to change 10 pages in two minutes) again just because (in my opinion) you can with ease. On the other hand, this is my first interaction with Wikipedia conflict resolution and I do appreciate your reasonable input and cooperation on the matter. TeaTime666 21:45, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Cassidy Janson

Hi, I see you have done some work on the above article. This is an article that been deleted a few times, and has been re-created. It would have been salted but for a minor mix up. I've seen you around so thought I'd give you a chance to defend it's recreation as I don't know the actress and still can't see notability. Though I have to say it looks a damn sight better in it current re-creation than it did before. Cheers Khukri 11:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well, that's not speculation, it's from the official website. I don't get why people keep removing it, we never decided on the talk page to, Locke just gave the source so that means "even I have a source, I'll delete it"? I don't think so. Therequiembellishere 03:10, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

As usual

I've been familiar with Wikipedia's censorship and pro-ameriacn instance since I came to know about it... but this just gets too far

oh yea, this coming from an american.

It's funny how you're always on this Wikipedia comparing everything to the US. In many article about an animal, it's said "it can't be found in the US". So basically, a taxonomy always includes whether an aniaml can be found in the US or no. Well, I propose Luxembourg too.

Anyway, if you want, you may block this account. I can create just another one. You may have spotted me once, but you can't silence everyone

good luck, learning to find some other country on a map, that isn't the us of a, the land of the free and the home of the brave or something like that. Very funny.

AIV backlogs and ANI

Corvus cornis, As a non-admin, yes it is frustrating when vandals that I report to AIV continue to vandalise for seemingly a long time. However, that happens exceedingly rarely. Usually I'd guess vandals are blocked within a couple of minutes. Please realise that the Admins that are online (there are only about 1100 total on English Wikipedia) at a given time are not watching AIV only; there are lots of other Admin tasks and they might actually be editing articles! They are also volunteers like all the editors. Because of the nature of posts to boards, it is easy for comments to be misconstrued. I think what Kyrukh meant as an honest assessment of (to him/her) not a long backlog at AIV, seemed to be a curt "screw off" to your original post. I don't think that was what was meant, just that that he/she wrote the response tersely to be efficient. I can see how it rubbed you the wrong way, though. Keep fighting the vandals! Cheers, Flyguy649talkcontribs 05:47, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

If he'd just said "thanks", and then the rest of the comment, it would not have looked like a brush-off. As I said, I do think he meant his post exactly as it was written, and not as a brush-off. Nothing can be done about it now! In the future, I'd suggest posting to the Admin's talk page to ask them to clarify a comment. That way if there is a misunderstanding, it doesn't get paraded in front of the community. Anyway, your (original) post to ANI likely did spur a couple of admins to look at AIV and clear the backlog. Like I said earlier, back to the vandal patrol. Or in my case, bed. Cheers, Flyguy649talkcontribs 06:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Its seems that this user has selected a lot of articles for Speedy deletion. Please review your history on Drag Performers in New York City to create a case for speedy deletion. Please notice that the artist MIMI IMFURST I created the article for is a staple in New York City and has been nominated for awards by many notible publications as well as national notability for his theatre pieces when they were protested by catholic extremist organizations- and put him up against Dan Brown for the DaVinci Code.

Re:Barrett

There's no point to use the same clean up tag twice in one article. The previous editor, or whoever originally tagged the article should have placed "citation needed" tags or removed the section altogether per WP:A. Also good job tagging the majority of the article pertaining the Barret's actual playing career for a lack of sources. --  ShadowJester07  ►Talk  07:47, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

whatever

i just created this account in case I needed to revert something. So fuck it. That teaches me a lesson I should have learnt some time ago. If I see vandalism, just let it be. You deserve it. I can just go to the history tab and read the correct article. And that's what'll do from now on

armedblowfish

Hi, he is blocked. That's why the RFA is going on, and the nomination explains this. The thing is, though, the policy was never intended to stop productive contributors from using Wikipedia, and it never did in the past. Tor was previously softblocked, recently we have begun hardblocking it. It is not true that "anyone" would have been blocked for using proxies in the past; we have always allowed registered and trusted users to use Tor, until last month. The recent change to hardblocks has brought opposition from Jimbo,[4] on whose words the original policy was written. So, yeah, the purpose of the spirit of this policy is not and has never been to stop good contributors from achieving anonymity, and even Wikimedia Foundation board members have used anonymizing proxies. ··coelacan 22:55, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

He is autoblocked, as the message and discussion on User talk:Armedblowfish, and the WJBscribe's nomination, all note. ··coelacan 22:58, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps this will: CheckUser is no cure for the problem of admin socks,[5] [6] but there are potential changes to RFA culture that could minimize the possibility of admin socks ever passing, and would be much more effective than CheckUser.[7] [8] Please read the full nomination and the reasons why so many people are supporting the user; this is a great mediator and extraordinarily dedicated Wikipedian, not someone we should fear. The point of the policy is to protect us against sockpuppets and trolls. This user only helps us. WJBscribe has said to me and I agree: "if we start jumping at every shadow we aren't winning the battle against vandals or sockpuppeteers, just throwing in the towel." We need to evaluate Armedblowfish for his own contributions, not what we're afraid of from some hypothetical shadow admin. The hypothetical shadow admin is not up for RFA today. ··coelacan 23:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

I think you misunderstand. The policy was never intended to stop good contributors from using Tor, and it was never used that way until last month. A "softblock" allows registered editors to edit from a blocked IP, and we have always softblocked Tor until last month, when Jayjg started "hardblocking" the Tor IPs instead. That's what resulted in Armedblowfish's block. We knew he was using Tor prior to this, but he was never blocked because he was is not an abusive user. WP:IAR is policy too, and we have used it here because it's not supposed to result in good editors being bocked. Please read ^demon's message here to see what I mean. ··coelacan 23:16, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

We have previously advised people to use Tor.[9] That this advice remained in place for many months should show you that the intent of the policy was never to stop good contributors. Jimbo's recent message should show you this. Are you interested in the spirit and intention of the policy? Or just the letter? ··coelacan 23:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Are you also interested in blocking good users who have never damaged Wikipedia? ··coelacan 23:33, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Please apologize for that remark. I have not harassed you, I responded to a statement you made and then responded to your further statements. I'm sorry if I've annoyed you, but I do not deserve that kind of dismissal. ··coelacan 23:40, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
