Who are you
What are you going to do?? Terminate my account...this site is mint man....everything you do you get yelled at for...

Pazal
Hi Fabricationary. As the creator of the page for the micronation Pazal, I was wondering why you chose to delete it? Although I don't expect the page to be restored, I'd like to discuss this with you. Pazal is a micronation, it has no international recognition - however, it has strong recognition in the micronational world. We have nearly 150 citizens and write ups in The Guardian, the Telegraph, The New York Times and various newspapers local to my own territorial region. We have also featured on national radio. As micronations go, we're quite highly placed, and we have a strongly legitimate foundation. The truth is that we're not internet based, but neither are a number of things. The two things that really cut me were the comments (from others) "delusions of grandeur" (as most of this had nothing to do with me anyway!) and the remarks on the site (The website also cost money to host and I can assure you there aren't any adverts :) !) As you're a student of Chinese history and politics, I'd have imagined you'd have come accross Pazal at least briefly.  Again, thanks for reading and I look forward to discussing this further with you.  All the best, Johnny. Jamescbernthal 20:39, 4 September 2006 (UTC)Jamescbernthal

 * Do we have some guidelines about what kind of entries we can yank from those pages? The problem cases are no-name actors or singers or (gak) wrestlers.  I'm tempted to pull more of the cruft, but it's hard to argue the point when the no-name in question has a Wikipedia entry. -- Jim Douglas 02:47, 22 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, just as a fr'instance, the Kenny Kim article was created last week and immediately added to September 20. I yanked it from the day page, and it was added back.  I added my concerns about the article on Talk:Kenny Kim and User talk:Dude77; so far, no response.  I'm pondering nominating the article for deletion if there's no response in a few days.  Am I completely off-base? -- Jim Douglas 03:37, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea what is going on
Hi,

Today when I checked smth. on Wiki I found I have a message. It came from you apparently.

''"Your recent edit to Hillary Rodham Clinton (diff) was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to recognize and repair vandalism to Wikipedia articles. If the bot reverted a legitimate edit, please accept my humble creator's apologies – if you bring it to the attention of the bot's owner, we may be able to improve its behavior. Click here for frequently asked questions about the bot and this warning. // Tawkerbot4 06:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

''Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to Hillary Rodham Clinton. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. A link to the edit I have reverted can be found here: link. If you believe this edit should not have been reverted, please contact me. Fabricationary 06:11, 5 August 2006 (UTC)"

Well, I never ever neither visited that page before nor changed or edited sth. there. I received other messages too, that from my IP adress sb. made useless changes in articled. Well, it is not me and I have no idea how comes! Best regards ShiLei

Congrats!

Help needed in conflict with other editor, if possible
If not help, then at least advice.

I'm currently involved in discussing the Homophobia article on the article's Talk page - the article itself has been locked after an edit war, and the topic has gone to Mediation, but I'm really unclear about what the mediator can do, if anything - she doesn't seem to have done anything up to now.

The Talk:Homophobia page has gone slightly mad, and I'm currently conflicted with one other editor in particular, R-b-j.

R-b-j asserts I called him a         : at this point I'd be willing to apologise for that, if it would mean he'd just stick to the point at hand and leave out the long personal anecdotes about how he worked on the Dean campaign! (I am, at this point, unclear if I did call him a        , or if he decided I was calling him a           based on something else I wrote, but he claims not to be attacking me because of that, and indeed he claims not to be attacking me at all...)

My previous experience of personal attacks was quite clear cut: an anonymous editor was abusing me, I reported them to an admin, eventually anon was banned. This is less clear-cut: R-b-j claims to be only attacking my "arguing style", and not me, but in practice I find it hard to tell the difference, and certainly, R-b-j's personalising the debate really isn't helping cool it down. R-b-j is one of the parties named in the Mediation: I presume therefore we have to get agreement: but I can't see specifically how R-b-j and I will ever manage to agree. Nor do I really want to see R-b-j banned: I just want him/her/it to quit with the personal attacks (whether on me or on my arguing style) and just discuss the topic to hand.

I've repeatedly requested this: R-b-j appears to take offense. There's now a whole section labelled who is playing the games? that really adds nothing to the debate at hand: it's all about how wrong I am.

Sorry for this lengthy comment: I will be very grateful for any advice/help you can provide.

RE: Vandalism warnings: I have never even heard of "Drawball"!! ??
I received a very stern warning about vandalism to the entry "Drawball" which appears not to exist now and which I never in my life have even seen. Please check your facts here as I am NOT responsible for ANY vandalism, period. Further, I have made positive, constructive changes in the Martin Luther King entry, and I would certainly hope this is not some form retaliation for those changes (adding that he is considered one of America's best public speakers, etc.) I've had cordial exchanges with user jpGordon and he would surely note that I have respect for this site and its contents.

I am very proud of my new star. Since I often find useful information on Wikipedia for my daily events page on the French RockDetente radio station network web site, I thought it would be a good opportunity to contribute myself to that great project. Igoulet 15:03, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you reverted my edit about Shane Warne. Does a 'global scale' count if he is known to many cricket-playing countries? ie. West Indies, India, Pakistan, New Zealand, England, etc. There are more, I just don't want to list them and make this message too long. - Vicer 04:33, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Kimberley Walsh
Please remember to mark your edits as minor when (and only when) they genuinely are minor edits (see Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one (and vice versa) is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. Thanks! --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 10:56, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, but slightly modifying an image caption ís a minor edit. As a rule of thumb, if an edit takes a minute or less, I mark it as minor.  If you did not like an edit made to Kimberley Walsh, rather than making a remark on the editor's talk page that may or may not be applicable, the proper course of dealing with that would be posting to Talk:Kimberley Walsh.  Fabricationary 20:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

As the template that I added above makes clear, it's not the time taken, but the nature of the edit that counts. Yours wasn't merely a spelling correction, formatting, etc. but the re-adding of an image, with a new caption. By no stretch of the imagination that can be accounted minor.

The proper course of action when someone misuses the minor convention is to inform them of it on their Talk page, using one of the Wikipewdia templates explicitly made for that purpose &mdash; which is why that's what I did. --Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης ) 22:33, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Reverting a page to a prior version after what is considered a fair use image by multiple editors was removed because one editor disagreed and failed to discuss the change first is not a major change. I restored the image after seeing that a fellow experienced editor agreed with me.  Why this is still a topic of discussion, or ever went beyond the article's talk page, is beyond me.  Let's just drop it here.  Fabricationary 03:39, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh good grief, it's not a matter of opinion. The definition is there, plainly contradicting you.  The discussion continues because, despite Wikipedia's clear definition of a minor edit ("A check to the minor edit box signifies that only superficial differences exist between the current and previous version: typo corrections, formatting and presentational changes, rearranging of text without modifying content, etc. A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute." Help:Minor edit), you insist that you're right.  That doesn't bode well for your behaviour as an editor in general. --Mel Etitis  ( Μελ Ετητης ) 09:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

December 30
Hello, you recently reverted some apparent vandal edits to the December 30 page. I made a minor edit (so I thought) to two dates, but when I viewed the page again, there were a couple of totally random edits scattered about. Did I do this somehow or was it from the guy before you or what. Sorry, I'm still learning, but can you tell what happened? Rossman7000 04:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

You're right. Apparently, the software filter I have installed trapped out what it thought to be inappropriate words, as "death", "porn", "occult" were missing in the post-edit text. Thanks for fixing, Rossman7000 04:33, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

October 8
Regarding your edit on Matt Damon - what is the reason for removing "screenwriter" from his description? I know he's mainly known as an actor, but he won an oscar for screenwriting. Is there some rule about how brief/not brief for these entries? If so, please enlighten me. I'm relatively new to wikipedia. Thanks.--tess 21:08, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, your answer was very helpful.--tess 00:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Girlsaloudpromo.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the image description page and edit it to add , without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

Hello!
Dear Fabricationary,

First off, I would like to thank you for the work you do for Wikipedia. There are few people who take the time to keep Wikipedia nice and tidy. As a person who uses Wikipedia nearly daily, you have helped me greatly.

However, you have recently sent me a message concerning my alleged vandalism of the Wikipedia article "List of Religions." I never visited that page, I never heard of "Zoroastrianism," (until today, when I saw the message you sent) and I am non-religious (with no preference or spit toward any religion). Furthermore, I have only edited the grammar in the Wikipedia article about my district's high school in all my years on Wikipedia. All of these facts make it quite impossible for me to have written that Zoroastrianism is a satanic religion.

I am sorry that someone would feel that way. It was fully within your rights to revert the vandalism.

Thank you for your time and, once again, thank you for the policing you do on Wikipedia. I am very grateful for your dedication.

Sincerely, Victoria

Fair use rationale for Image:DreamTIMvideo.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:DreamTIMvideo.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Image source problem with Image:Bratz RockAngelz.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Bratz RockAngelz.jpg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Non-free content, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags.

Fair use rationale for Image:Bratz RockAngelz.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Bratz RockAngelz.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. —Angr 18:56, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Jenniferlaurathompson.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Jenniferlaurathompson.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, fair use media which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if not used in an article), per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. High on a tree (talk) 22:16, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Please also consider using or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. Thank you. Rettetast (talk) 16:41, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image (Image:TheBeuSisters.jpg)
 Thanks for uploading Image:TheBeuSisters.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Beu Sisters


A tag has been placed on The Beu Sisters requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Alexf(talk) 16:21, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

Freddie Mercury Article edit conflict
I need a conflict resolution regarding the Freddie Mercury Article. I recently added material to the page, and it was twice reverted by RyanTQuin. The first time, it was for "lack of verifiable sources" (even though said sources were in place). The second time, I refined and clarified the material (with verifiable sources). The second time, the same user reverted the article, and didn't even provide a reason. I have reverted the article myself (with reasons for doing so) and am requesting a consensus of senior editors, which I would be more than happy to live with. I'm sure you can look up the recent history of both reversions. For the record, the user in question has been involved in this before, and as a matter of fairness, I'm also submitting a complaint against said user, just for the record.
