Thanks for reverting that misplaced comment or whatever you want to call it on my user page. =) The editor just got indefinitely blocked by another admin. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:53, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Pokemon
Could you point me in the direction of the discussion that turned most of the Pokemon articles into redirects? Or tell me which policies the Diglett article supposedly violates? Who decides which Pokemon are notable enough to get their own article anyway? I'd like to fight for that Diglett article... I love Diglett and it feels like such a step backward to reduce that whole thing to a redirect. <3 Diglett. TheCoffee (talk) 19:11, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Though I'm not too familiar with the discussion itself, I believe the conclusion was that nearly all of the individual articles failed wp:note, or wp:fict, or WP:NOT, or some combination of those. The discussion is somewhere in the archives of Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pokémon, sorry I can't be more specific. You can leave a message there and I'm sure someone involved with the project will discuss it with you. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 19:38, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Human-powered flight move revert
Hey,

You deleted my move of the article, aldough there was a consensus. Please undo it (I wasn't vandalising the article). thanks.

KVDP (talk) 10:04, 22 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yea, that was my mistake. I didn't read closely enough. I never thought it was vandalism though. Either way you shouldn't copy and paste to move an article. Read wp:move. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 10:07, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Propose Move (Human-powered Flight)
I propose moving the article to Human-powered Flight for the following reasons: 1. It's a more accurate description of the subject 2. It would be consistent with the entry for "Human-powered transport" which contains a section "Human-powered aircraft" 3. It is a much more widely used term for the subject as revealed by a Google search

If anyone has any serious objections and valid reasons for not moving please post them here. If not I'll go ahead and move it. Gr8white 03:43, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes. I object. The official (Fédération Aéronautique Internationale) description of this subject is manpowered flight. See  JMcC 17:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * That site mentions manpowered aircraft but I don't see any reference to man-powered flight, which is the title of this article. In fact ALL the external references (the ones in English) refer to human-powered flight, not man-powered flight.  So I don't see that as a valid reason.


 * In any event, I don't see what bearing the terminology that particular group chooses to use should have on anything else, least of all the title of a Wikipedia article. Clearly, the more widely used and accepted terminology is "Human-powered", so why not go with that? Gr8white 19:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)


 * "That particular group" just happens to be the worldwide body for any type of achievement in aviation. They are not just anyone. (Sadly they did not use a hyphen in 'manpowered'.)  There are precedents for the less common name being used in Wikipedia. Type in 'soccer', the common name in the US, and 'Association football', the correct name, you are redirected to Football (soccer), which no-one calls it by! I suppose I am fighting a rearguard action against the petty PC re-naming of anything with 'man' in it. JMcC 23:49, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

If there's a rear guard that wants to rename everything with 'man' in it, I'm certainly not a member of it. If there was an established precedent for "Man-powered flight" I'd be totally in favor of retaining the name. I'm suggesting replacing terminology that virtually nobody uses (not even the sporting aviation group mentioned above, which uses "manpowered aircraft") with what almost everyone else does. Not sure why that's considered being "politically correct". Gr8white 21:05, 11 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I checked the stats. "Manpowered flight" gets 424 hits in Google,"man-powered flight" gets 859 hits (with and without the hyphen), and "human powered flight", gets 24,700. Coincidentally yesterday I read David Crystal's book about the futility of attempts to stop changes in the language, so I have to wave the white flag. Move it if you wish. JMcC 06:56, 12 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I also agree with gr8white. Please move the article to Human powered aircraft. KVDP (talk) 15:46, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Hovercraft
You recently reverted an edit by User:65.4.103.44 to Hovercraft in which a lot of text was deleted. This was a valid deletion of text that had somehow become duplicated. Bovlb (talk) 01:50, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Racist edits
Obviously the bot was malfunctioning or poorly coded. I have removed the section because it is historically inaccurate and serves only as a racist attack that completely ignores Arab states' involvement and behavior in their deplorable treatment of "Palestinians" as such.

Hint: it's not the State of Israel that has legislation preventing Arabs from the areas that Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq took over in 1948 (area that wasn't even pegged to be part of Israel) from ever holding jobs or becoming citizens of any Arab country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 1948remembered (talk • contribs) 16:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The bot has nothing to do with it. Wikipedia has ways of doing things. Everyone has a POV and Wikipedia needs to be neutral, you don't get to remove a large section that has many references because you disagree with it. You have to take it up on the talk page of the article and discuss it with others. But in the mean time it stays. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 16:45, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Chile
Do me a favor, then ... at least go and support the move, since I have clearly shown several sources (including the official Gobierno do Chile) that indicate they are municipalities, not communes. Thank you. Rarelibra (talk) 17:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Copy and Paste moves
Please, stop copying and pasting to move a page. It's against guideline and there are licensing issues when you do so. Read WP:MOVE for more info. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm fixing it, It called Gulf Cup in the UAFA, not Persian Gulf cup. Mussav (talk) 18:08, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I know, I understand that but it's besides the issue. When you copy and paste move a page you lose the history of that page, and the history needs to be kept for licensing reasons. Read WP:CPMV and WP:MOVE to move them properly. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:13, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * So why you didn't Warned User:Shahin.shn? he did all the mess. Mussav (talk) 18:19, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Sunda Kingdom and Sunda kingdom
Dear, I would like to inform you that I am a user who write Sunda kingdom for the first time. I am of an opinion that the tittle must be capitalized, thus I copy the content of "Sunda kingdom" to page "Sunda Kingdom" and redirect the old page to the new one. The content is the same so I think there is no promblem at all.

Sincerely, --Hadiyana (talk) 09:10, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The problem is not with your intention. The "K" in kingdom should be capitalized. The problem is in your copying and pasting. Which is not how you move a page and creates issues with the license whenever you do it. The "K" article needs to be deleted temporarily to move the "k" article over the proper way. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:14, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * So, would you mind to help me to fix the problem to capitalize the title. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.--Hadiyana (talk) 09:16, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The deletion template will get an Admin to come around and do it for us, since I can't do it myself. I'll add it to the Galuh article as well.-- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:22, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok. But how long? And, you are an admin but why could't you do it?--Hadiyana (talk) 09:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'd like to be, but I'm not an Admin. And unfortunately it can take awhile. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:35, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * What if deletting the page K by ourselves and then moving the page k by using "move" button in the editing window? Is it possible to do that? --Hadiyana (talk) 09:45, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Naw, that doesn't work. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 09:47, 8 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll wait for admins to delete the K pages. Thank you for enlighting discussion. --Hadiyana (talk) 09:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Copyrights
hi. curious as to the copyright laws you're referring to when you removed my articles. the large one was written 30 yrs ago and the others are short excerpts from books or magazines.

thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Devsdough (talk • contribs)


 * 30 years isn't long enough. I believe it's something like 70 years after the person who created it has died. And any amount of copying excerpts is a copyvio I believe. In any event it wasn't very neutral. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 22:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

reverting my edit
Hello, I'm an employee at OHNY. You recently reverted my edit of the OHNY page, and I'm not sure why. I would appreciate it if you didn't do it again. Thanks.
 * I reverted your edit because it was a copy and paste from the OHNY website, which is a copyright violation, as well as being WP:NPOV. And if you are an employee of OHNY it's a conflict of interest. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 15:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't see how that could be a copyright violation if we own the copyright. Also its not WP:NPOV or WP:COI because all the information I posted was purely factual and not in any way biased or self-promotional.
 * If you do work there, that automatically makes it WP:COI, while doesn't necessarily exclude copyright violation. The copyright does belong to one or more people in the company, but not to everyone in it. and what you wrote there isn't verifyable just from the company's web site - does any third party agree? עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 16:38, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't understand - so other people can edit OHNY's information without getting flagged for COI, but I can't post information which is undoubtedly more accurate simply because I work here and therefore know more about the organization. All I added to the wikipedia posting is the mission, history, and core programs, which is available to the general public in any number of OHNY publications.  I don't understand why OHNY's mission needs to be verified by a third party - if we wrote it, it is obviously our mission.  Do you need written permission from the executive director, because I can gladly provide it.  I also don't understand why it is an automatic conflict of interests just because I work here.  I am merely trying to expand upon and clarify the information that was already posted.  What exactly am I allowed to post?  And who posted that original information in the first place?  How has their information been verified?
 * That's just it, this is an encyclopedia, not a place for a company's self-publications. Other editors can be flagged for COI if it's clear that it is so. Even if it is not found as such, all contributions by editors need to be neutral. Now as for your contributions, the mission statement is not encyclopedic even if it is verified by another source and it can be considered advertising. The core programs sections could maybe be kept, if it was rewritten not to be a copy and paste from the website. And the history section absolutely has to have reliable third party sources, or there shouldn't be a section on it. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 21:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Pablo García
Look I'm trying to fix the desambiguation page, so Pablo García would be Pablo García (disambiguation), then Pablo Garcia (footballer) would be Pablo Garcia, all the information will be given on the top of the pages of Pablo García, I would really appreciate your help. Also there's only two Pablo García and Pablo Garcia, the other ones are:  Pablo Marcano García and Juan Pablo García, so we olny need to do what I told you before. Please help me finish this. Thanks Rockk3r Talk 12:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * That's fine and all, but there are ways to moving pages around. You just can't cut and paste. Also you may want to read WP:MOS (disambig) to see if what you want fits in that model. I'm not sure exactly what you want, the way I feel it should be is:


 * Pablo García (disambiguation) is our top page.
 * Pablo García and Pablo Garcia should redirect to it because not everyone is going to be able to distinguish "í" and "i" and can easily end up at the wrong page.
 * Pablo García (footballer) should be about the Uruguayan footballer.
 * And the rest should stay where they are at. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:13, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I understand what you mean, but when you put on the top of the page, for example, you are on the page Pablo Garcia (which is the footballer) you put on the top: ''This article is about the Uruguayan footballer for other people with similar name, see Rockk3r Talk 13:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I think too many notes at the top of the page would be distracting and not very friendly to users looking for other pages. Between the two footballers there should only be a note to the other footballer and the disambig page. As for the guitarist and the painter there should just be one to the disambig page. I think where the articles are at right now is best. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I hope you don't mind if I jump in here, but the disambiguation page should actually be at Pablo García if there is no primary topic (which there does not seem to be). You can see the guidelines about this at WP:D. Cheers, -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 02:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the clarification Paul, that's what I thought but I couldn't find where it said that. So I just went for the simple solution since enough page shuffling has already happened over this. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 03:14, 13 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay, at the risk of over-shuffling :) I've moved it to the correct place, as per the WP:D guidelines. Cheers, -- Paul Erik (talk) (contribs) 00:31, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Saga pages
Thanks for giving me a hand back at Majin Buu Saga. The activity of those anons is quite strange, is it not? Seems to be the same user manipulating them in order to add the same plot cruft. Should their edits to Saiyan Saga, Freeza Saga, and Cell Saga be undone per violating WP:PLOT and WP:CRUFT? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:05, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a bit of a larger conundrum than that. All the sagas of all the Dragon Balls fail WP:PLOT. WP:FICT too because they're all unsourced or only primary sourced, though I believe a few could pass WP:FICT. I think a good proposal would be to consolidate the sagas to their respective series, i.e. Sagas of Dragon Ball Z. Maybe we should bring this up at WP:Anime? They could probably then find good sources for the articles. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 19:17, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm going over a few of the links to make sure they're good and clean. Actually, just had an idea, could you begin a discussion at WP:WPDBZ? The anons will probably complain, however, I think the majority of the task force will understand. So could you? Lord Sesshomaru (talk • edits) 19:34, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Will you please stop redirecting and making my changes disappear. This series has (The Twilight Zone) after each episode name, except this particular episode. If you don't want a redirect move, then please move it, but stop undoing my good work. 121.208.180.8 (talk) 17:29, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Whatever your intentions are you simply cannot cut and paste to move an article. That's it. Also, even if all the other pages have a disambiguator at the end of their name, doesn't mean this one should have one. It should have one only if there are other articles with that same title, and this one doesn't. The guideline for naming conventions for episodes is at WP:TV-NAME. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 17:34, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks (Ukrainian parliamentary election, 2007)
Thanks for helping. He simply is unwilling to follow WP policies, the e-mail harassment, the revealing RL ids, the major league reverting, the talk page spamming, all interfere with what could be valuable contributions. Shame, his viewpoint may be close to NPOV than most of our editors, but he just won't play by the rules.

I will continue to pick through his edits and incorporate the good. In the meantime, I have asked for semi-protection.

Do you think there is any way that in reviewing the ban we might change his behavior? I'd be open to trying if there were some chance of success. Jd2718 (talk) 20:25, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yea, that is the interesting thing. The only issue with the content is the few bits about the political crisis, which doesn't need that large a mention on this article, a short summary and a link is all really. I'm sure no one has a real issue the tables and graphs, that content is rather minor. Unfortunately I don't feel a review of the ban will help him because he's already had numerous socks, he just wants to really push his content. But I'm not really involved in this, I'm just patrolling.-- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 20:37, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

hey, just wondering.
I'm interested in helping fight vandalism on wikipedia... how do I go about this??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.229.227.142 (talk) 15:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * First, I'd suggest creating an account. See, WP:ACCOUNT. Then read up on the core policies WP:NPOV, WP:V and WP:OR. Then read WP:VAND to figure how to spot and respond to vandalism. Then easiest way is to just look at the recent changes. Pick out pages there and when you spot vandalism just WP:UNDO it. If you're unsure about someone's edits always assume good faith. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 16:09, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

I have blocked the user for 15 minutes, hopefully that will get him to read the talk page. Thanks for the heads up, Prodego  talk  19:08, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking into it, I didn't want this user bureaucratically blocked for something relativiely minor. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 19:11, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for reverting that bizarre edit on my talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome, it was no prob. That user was making a few odd edits to user pages. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 18:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: Thanks
Hey, you're welcome. He even said you were involved with my userpage...:S  WEBURIEDOURSECRETSINTHEGARDEN aka john lennon  21:04, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Splice
Done. Hope that helped! It may be wise to start up a topic on the talk page concerning the suggested move, just to gain consensus. Cheers, Master of Puppets  Call me MoP! ☺  07:43, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Hot?
Just had to stop by. . . I misread your edit summary | here and could have sworn you said you were reverting a hottie. :P - Warthog Demon  00:56, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

No Prob Bob
Look Ma, Wikipedians! This fix is good by me, but image control is not my forte. Things seem to change all the time around here. I`m getting back online soon so I can devote some quality time to the project. Keep up the good work O Noble Wikipedian! Hamster Sandwich (talk) 23:44, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah cool. I'm not sure why they deleted the image, but it does seem that they have been getting stricter with images lately. Thanks again. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 00:08, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Give this user another warning
You recently made the edit in relation to Michael Ruffin to revert opinions from this user using an IP

If you have a look at his history you will see he has already gotten one warning from the ClueBot in relation to another edit I dont know how this works but i think you should give this user one last warning. Im just a beginner at this but this user has not made 1 constructive edit. Its better to get vandals early rather than late right? Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 00:46, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Just one other thing, how did you get your user name to be in fancy writing at the top of the page and how did you add on Oh snap its the DEA in the top right. If you press edit page nothing about this comes up. Thanks again Roadrunnerz45 (talk) 01:10, 7 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't warn that user for that particular edit because it wasn't strictly vandalism. It was more along the lines of a WP:NPOV violation. Also, that user's previous vandalism at Über a few days ago was reverted by someone else but who didn't feel to warn them. It's bad practice to warn someone who's edits you didn't revert especially if it's a few days old.


 * As for the title thing, you can use this template: Template:Title override to do it, but since I wanted to be different (The "Oh Snap" part) I just used the code to make my own template in my user space here: User:DeadEyeArrow/title. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 01:32, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

NYLF
Thanks for the edit on the NYLF, I cleaned up the parental advisory. I was suprised to see some older articles on the web getting responses and replies from several sites in the past few days. As a parent who has been bombarded with their junk mail for years, and spoken to them directly and to The College Boards, it can take a second rewrite to remove the personal opinion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Storpappa (talk • contribs) 02:55, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I removed your section again. We are trying to build an encyclopedia here, and such an advisory isn't appropriate for one. Now, if this is a particularly notable problem with this organization then the issue could be incorporated within the article only if it had reliable third party sources. But telling parents to be wary of how their information got to this group and take possible legal action cannot be included in the article. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 04:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Vandal Fighting Flail?

 * Hi, I saw you recently put a "Flail of +2 to vandal fighting" on my talk page. Just wondering, what is it? I've never seen one before. Is it some sort of award? Well, I'm sure it will help me fight them vandals :D Steve Crossin (talk) 07:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well I wanted to give ya something in return for the barnstar, but I couldn't think of anything. Then I heard Gygax died and that reminded me how much I miss playing D&D, so I kinda put those two together. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 07:25, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you for removing the vandal edit on my userpage. I have been noticing his guy vandalize for a while and Ill give him another warning. A Raider Like Indiana  (talk) 23:00, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion rationales
Yo, just so you know, being a neologism is not a sufficient reason for an article to be speedy deleted - it needs to meet one of the criteria at WP:CSD. I declined your speedy on Quim (slang) for this reason. Please consider taking future articles on neologisms to Afd. Regards, скоморохъ  12:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Eh, I've been up for like 48 hours. When I first speedied it sounded kinda ridiculous. Besides, it's the only time I've ever use WP:NEO for deletion. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 12:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi
It looks like while trying to revert vandalism that you accidentally reverted to a vandalized version. I have undone this. Just letting you know :).--<font color="purple" face="comic sans ms">Urban <font color="red" face="Papyrus">Rose  14:46, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

User:63.116.149.147
This guy has been vandalising all afternoon, and has gone on past your 'last warning' on his talk page. I'm new to the anti-vandal system. What action is appropriate to take next in this case? Rockfall (talk) 16:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well if you revert a vandal who is already at their last warning you report it to WP:AIV. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 16:42, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Why?
Just for my understanding, why did you change the Tyrell Biggs article in a pretty awful way, only then to change it back to its original state? -- Iterator12n  <font color="Blue"> Talk 16:49, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Was a mistake, still new to using Huggle. Sometimes the lag gets me. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 16:51, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * To clarify, Huggle auto loads the difference when a page is edited. I had tried to revert the same vandalism that Abrech did, but he got to it first, so it loaded his good version, and I accidentally clicked on his version to revert. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 16:59, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clear explanation! Helps my understanding of the mechanics around here.  --  Iterator12n  <font color="Blue"> Talk 03:49, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, I didn't want you think to that after some 20,000 edits I decided to start sneakily vandalizing. I set the configuration not to auto load the page whenever it's edited, should stop any further mistakes. -- ÐeadΣyeДrrow (Talk | Contribs) 03:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That's why I thought that there would be a perfectly reasonable explanantion - and that I could learn something, which I did. Over and out.  --  Iterator12n  <font color="Blue"> Talk 04:06, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
