Vandalism?
You reverted my added information twice on Warhol's 15 Minutes page, citing 'vandalism.' While your personal issues with the content may be your own, it was valid information about a popular blog based on Warholian statement. There is nothing I posted that would be remotely considered valdalistic. Please be more careful in the future when editing factual content. User talk:24.243.5.91
 * I am sorry if I reverted actual content, but to an untrained eye, your link looked like spam. I apologize. Enjoy Wikipedia! DangerousNerd  talk  20:04, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

No problem and thanks for taking the time to get back to me. I appreciate it. User talk:24.243.5.91

Copyrighted images
I'm sorry to the bearer of bad news, but you can't have any copyrighted images on userpages, as if doesn't fall under "fair use". hmwith (?) 21:23, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Haha, no, your page just automatically went on my watchlist when I sent you a message the first time, and I noticed the changes.  hmwith  (?) 21:35, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not trying to be selfish, but I made it myself! Haha, I mean, I'd prefer if you made your own. It's not like I can claim it or anything, but it's better to make your own. You can use an outline, I'm not the first person to do that, but use your own font and colors. =) Use your sig to express your individuality!  hmwith  (?) 21:43, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Perfect. I really like it. It's a clean-cut, sharp signature. Nice job! About helping you, no problem. If you're interested in adoption, I'd be more than happy to adopt you.  hmwith  (?) 13:43, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

I may very well be interested in this. What exactly does it entail? DangerousNerd talk  16:49, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Basically, I would mentor you as you progress in editing Wikipedia. I could answer any questions that you have, give you helpful advice, or provide ideas with things to work on. Let me know!  hmwith  (?) 21:11, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

This sounds good! Let's do it. DangerousNerd talk  21:14, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Great. I'll add you as an adoptee of mine. Also, don't worry about sig problems. I've been working, trying to get my sig down to under 255 as well. I had to experiment with a few to get one to work. I finally realized if I want an outline, I have to use arial font. hmwith  talk  21:23, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, sounds great. Do I need to do anything on my end?  BTW, your sig looks great. :)  DangerousNerd  talk  21:26, 14 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, there are userboxes that you can put you on userpage, such as, but you don't have to do anything really, besides let me know when you need me. I'll check in with you from time to time, as well, if I haven't heard from you for a while.   hmwith  talk   14:15, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

My bad, you must of just edited it before me. Sorry about that. War  rush  18:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Some basic help
Ok heres what you do, if you spot vandalism, revert it back to a non vandalized state. Then go to the users talk page, and put in one of these http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:VAN pick the one that is suitable for the situtation. If the user doesnt have any previous vandals, put in this subst:uw-vandalism1|PageName War  rush  18:20, 14 June 2007 (UTC) (note there will be  at the end) See where it says page name, thats where you put the page he vandalized on.

It will look something like this

Tom Creaven
CSD-A7 would have probably been more appropriate here, either way the page will be deleted, but its far simpler for whoever is looking at it to ascertain whats wrong if the tag is correct. Cheers, Jonomacdrones  (talk)  20:18, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but whilst that is true, the subject matter of the article is a person, the person was non-notable- although i know exactly where you're coming from. Cheers, Jonomacdrones  (talk)  21:01, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Haha, thanks- that project has been stagnating for a while now though, ubuntu really doesn't like working on a Thinkpad, it even tells me this- Although i must admit, i have just got into using Ubuntu in my day to day stuff... a lot of work to get everything as i want it, but cheers- it is good stuff Cheers, Jonomacdrones  (talk)  21:06, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:Sheeju
And now the article is history, which explains why I couldn't find it in my contributions. Good looking out! Thanks. --Ispy1981 01:04, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

re: Nom
I didn't nominate it for speedy deletion because requirement G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion specifically points out it is "patent nonsense and gibberish" that is valid for deletion. That means unintelligible work like "banana fo fanana donkey ajsdfbsdfjkbfdds" is valid for speedy deletion, but something like Nom, which is written in a coherent style (which I suspect is taken from another article about a real Pokemon) is not. G1 also specifically denotes that nonsense does not include hoaxes, which is what Nom clearly is. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 21:19, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Musician
I only got about 908 article about him when I searched. It's borderline.

You can check out WP:MUSIC for information regarding this, specifically Criteria for musicians and ensembles.

Summarized, has he been the subject of published work or TV show, played on national radio stations, toured internationally, released 2+ albums on a major label, won any awards, or has he had a record go gold or charted a hit? If yes to any one of these, it should be able to stay, as long as it's mentioned in the article. No guarantees, as they're all decided on a case-by-case basis, but it would have my vote if it satisfied this criteria.

Good luck, and if you need help formatting the article or anything else, let me know! hmwith talk  21:33, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmmm. Well, it appears that even his label doesn't have a article.  I guess he's more obscure than I thought.  :P  Thanks for your help!   DangerousNerd  talk  21:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Well, if he meets any of the other criteria, he should be okay. I'll take it as he doesn't? hmwith  talk  22:12, 15 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Nope. I'm kinda surprised, though.  No national tours, no write ups in magazines.  Nothin'!  Ah well.   DangerousNerd  talk  22:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I hate that. Most of my favorite musicians don't even have major record deals either. hmwith talk  22:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Mario Kart DS Tracks
Just to add to what TTN said, "game guide information" is part of WP:NOT. This page lists what does not belong on Wikipedia. Under WP:NOT, it mentions that information that makes it like a guide or manual, or if it's written that way, does not go here. - Zero1328 Talk? 01:23, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Was the track info on Mario Kart DS WP:NOT#IINFO? Here's the old version: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mario_Kart_DS&oldid=138322716#Tracks.  The whole conversation came about because I wanted to put something like this on the Mario Kart 64 article.  What do you think?  I don't know if it is worth fighting TTN over, though.  :-P   DangerousNerd  talk  16:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It would go under #4. "video game guides" count as an instruction manual, and track information would count as something belonging in a game guide. - Zero1328 Talk? 03:19, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia CD
I just stumbled upon your comment on Persian Poet Gal's talk page. The article you're probably looking for is 2006 Wikipedia CD Selection - it includes the links that you can use to download the ISOs. However, there's apparently a 2007 Wikipedia CD out now.

Here are both the links for the 2007 version:

Link #1 - Compressed Version

Link #2 - Full Version (torrent)

I hope that helps!  Ali  (t)(c) 03:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Twinkle bug
Hi, I noticed that one of your Twinkle reverts looked like this. From discussion on IRC I gather that the message of the type "Reverted to revision null..." is due to a javascript bug. The problem can be resolved by clearing your browser cache. --Tony Sidaway 01:19, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

No No No... Thank you =)
Thanks for the barnstar. Peace. Spartan-James 05:05, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

RGIS Inventory Specialists
I have removed the prod tag from RGIS Inventory Specialists, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-proded, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the prod template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Articles for deletion. Thanks! Od Mishehu 07:41, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It looked as though 198.102.103.18 had removed it in an act of vandalism. I am sorry if I was wrong.   DangerousNerd  talk  18:35, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * He removed a prod tag with nothing else, and the edit summery clearly stated that he was removing a deletion tag. I don't think it's reasonable to require that a newby/anon will understand that there are other deletion tags. The prod template is clearly a deletion tag, and says that anyone may remove it. I don't see in what way this could be called vandalism. Od Mishehu 06:16, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Once again, I apologize for my mistake. I will try to be more diligent in the future.   DangerousNerd  talk  14:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
