Star Trek versus Star Wars
I'm confused as to why you're blanking this. As a redirect, it serves to point users to the correct article as opposed to a blank page; plus, if the article is deleted yet again, this page can be deleted by association when the deleter checks "What links here." As a blank page, it serves no purpose. I'm not going to revert your edit again, as I find that rather rude; instead, I ask that you replace the content that you removed. Thanks. GlassCobra 05:50, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm aware; I was one of the ones that cast a delete vote for the page, as a matter of fact. Actually, I think that this particular incarnation of the page has been created in error and will probably be deleted again soon. My point is that rather than just have a blank page that serves no purpose whatever, keep it as a redirect so that it can be deleted when the article is deleted as well.

You might be right about Beretta Cx4 Storm but pushing the envelope on WP:3RR isn't the right way to go about it. An an edit war isn't going to do either of us any good. Please see Reverting and sleep on it. G'night. Canuckle 01:51, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, but, since the image above includes significant copyrighted elements of a game and operating system, you cannot turn around and release it under a copyleft license. — TKD:: Talk  01:17, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Your not sorry at all. Your intentionally trying to get my image deleted to spite me. Alyeska 02:37, 15 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Don't construe this as a personal issue; it's not. The image has a copyright issue that needs to be addressed. Copyrights are a serious issue for Wikipedia. — TKD:: Talk  02:41, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Halo2-1.JPG)
Thanks for uploading Image:Halo2-1.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 'image' 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 "Image" 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. BetacommandBot (talk) 20:49, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Question
Alyeska - Yes, I am Donnie Clapp. I didn't understand why you were asking, but then I went and read the talk page for Whitefish Mountain Resort. I have posted an announcement of my identity on that page. I apologize if my edits were too severe in late May. Let me know if there is anything I need to do or change to bring myself inline with WP policy. Thanks Dhc02 (talk) 18:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Matterhorn deletion
Alyeska,

As a high school science teacher, imagine my dismay to see that the Matterhorn entry was incomplete. There is a serious problem with Creationists claiming that the Matterhorn is a testimony to Biblical geology. The creationists use the Matterhorn as so-called evidence of a 6000 year old earth. We need to fight against this by getting some facts onto the Matterhorn site about where the story of inverted index fossils came from. When Creationists click onto a site like Wikipedia they should see refutation of their weird non-science, not a big blank spot.

So I was hoping that there would be some facts at the Wikipedia Matterhorn to go against the creationists. I am not a geologist but I knew if I started a short section on that matter that a real geologist could come along and address it.

You might have misunderstood the entry. I am going to put it back on there so some scientists can address this and refute the creationists.

Thanks, Atom box (talk) 21:09, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Whitefish Mountain Resort
Alyeska, we had the article blocked because of the vandalism and rude ad hominen bullshit from you. If you do not want anything else revealed on the WMR article, you had better have a damn good reason. Please refrain from calling others names. I'm sure that you will learn this lesson eventually. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.160.16.228 (talk) 16:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

views on abortion
Hello,

You stated your views on abortion are rather complex, but then go on to describe the majority view people take on abortion. I have changed rather complex to rather mundane.

Please don't try to make yourself more sophisticated than you are. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.211.62.162 (talk) 18:02, 25 March 2009 (UTC)
 * And I have reverted your edits. It is not polite to change other people's user pages. --Falcorian (talk) 18:17, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

My view is hardly that of the majority, and my opinions show clear contradictions in their view. Hence it is complex. Do not presume to dictate my views and their relation to others. And do not vandalize my userpage again. Alyeska (talk) 19:20, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:Mount Redoubt
Sorry about that! I'm working on it now. I'm not an admin so it may take a moment to delete the bad talk page, but I'm trying to fix it. Reywas92 Talk 01:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I believe everything is now in order. Mount Redoubt is now at Mount Redoubt (disambiguation), and Mount Redoubt (Alaska) is now at Mount Redoubt. It has a hatnote to the dab page. Reywas92 Talk  03:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, was flying through and saw missing comma's...
...and just wanted to fix it. Was pretty sure I maintained at least the first "Alaska" as a separate link to the state page instead of the city. Sorry about that. Deathbunny (talk) 17:58, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

You're not supposed to remove a Copyvio message until the issue is settled, you were supposed to fix it instead of just undoing it. --208.38.59.163 (talk) 17:15, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The IP contributor is right. The template clearly indicates that you should "not edit this page until an administrator has resolved this issue." Moreover, when you edit the page a caution displays: "Please do not remove or change this Copyvio message until the issue is settled." If you think the template is being abused, you might seek an administrator to request immediate review, but what you did was twice restore copyrighted text to publication on Wikipedia, which puts you in the position of contributory copyright infringement. We can't use that text until license is verified. While User:Matthew R Dunn is not an admin, he did remove the infringement when he removed the template. Under the circumstances, this is likely a valid use of WP:IAR. Restoring the text to publication, I'm afraid, is not. Please be careful with handling copyright issues in the future. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:21, 7 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi.


 * I'm afraid you may not be correctly remembering the circumstances of your removal of the template. The second time you removed it, here, he had restricted the blanking to the relevant text. If you encounter this template in the future and can verify that the material is restricted to one section, you can limit the blanking to that section by closing it off with the yourself or, as I mentioned, you can find an admin to take an early look. You should be careful if you choose to limit the blanking to be sure that infringement is limited and doesn't run beyond the blanked portion.


 * About a year ago, there was no option but to blank the whole page with that template; that's how it was designed to be used. The "div" end is a relatively recent introduction meant to allow at least some parts of the article to remain visible. But the main point here is to get copyrighted content off of Wikipedia as soon as it is identified. The administrator who investigates the listing will restore it if it isn't infringement. When it's just one section, it's generally not a bad thing to remove it. But restoring it is really never a good idea. The copyright problems template does not call for discussion on the article's talk page. It calls for listing the article on the copyright problems board and notifying the contributor of the copyrighted content. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 02:11, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 04:45, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
