 " template to the article Talk:Ad·ver·sary, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page.

Wikiproject Beatles banner picture
Hi. I noticed you added the current picture to one of the banners for the Beatles Wikiproject. This image is of a boulevard in Paris, not Abbey Road; the similarity is incidental. Can't a better picture be found, so that a British band isn't represented by a French setting? Robert K S (talk) 02:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Bot auto assessed an article as featured
Any idea what happened here? I presume that is a mistake of some sort. Could you check the bot didn't slip up anywhere else? I found that while compiling User:Carcharoth/Featured articles needing regular updates, in case you are interested. Any ideas on how to extract and stick dates next to the single-person biography lists? I'd be interested in mini-groupings of 20th-century, 19th-century, classical Greek/Roman, etc. biographies, if possible. I'm sticking to cross-referencing with "Living people" first. Carcharoth (talk) 01:29, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I misread the page history. It was the IP here who added the FA tag. Your bot wasn't to blame - sorry about that! I've removed the FA-tag. Carcharoth (talk) 10:23, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Separating out group biographies and single-person biographies
I suggested this before at the talk page WPBiography, but I don't think anything got done. Category:FA-Class biography articles, like all the WP 1.0 assessment categories, includes featured lists, which I want to separate out. Easily done (eg. using CatScan) but still annoying to have stuff mixed up like that. More specific to WPBiography is the mixing up of group articles (in this case music group articles) with single-person biographies. It is the latter I wanted to extract, and that took a while, especially as the "musicians" category includes both single-person musician biographes and music group "biographies". I suspect this is a historical feature due to the set up of WPBiography being done by you - is this right? I have no problems with music groups being included in WPBiography, but I do wish they could be filtered out more easily. Music groups are not the only examples of "group" articles, of course, but they are the most common, I think. Would you be able to help roll out a "group" parameter for use in WPBiography? Or failing that, the more ambitious proposal I made here? Carcharoth (talk) 11:12, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Is this how administrators are supposed to use their deletion powers?

 * Today I realized that you deleted eight articles in one session. It concerned me.  I raised my concern on WP:AN/I.  Geo Swan (talk) 01:16, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion, without a second set of eyes?
I see you are back from your wikibreak. As I noted above I raised my concern about these eight deletions on WP:AN/I. A number of people felt sure you deleted these articles after they had been properly tagged by someone else.

In the interest of clarity -- you did perform these deletions without a second set of eyes, correct?

We are all volunteers here. No one should feel terrible for realizing they made a mistake. AGF. I am going to assume the reason you haven't offered an explanation for your deletions is not that you don't feel accountable -- that there is some other reason. Geo Swan (talk) 04:23, 8 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I mentioned these eight deletions in a DRV of a similar action. I said I thought I had been civil to you.  And I told participants there that I was still waiting for your reply.  Geo Swan (talk) 23:05, 24 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I have described the queries I have left you as civil queries. I believe they are civil queries and I am frankly mystified that you have not offered me a civil, meaningful reply.  Geo Swan (talk) 22:46, 28 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I remain mystified as to why you have not responded to my queries. Geo Swan (talk) 03:42, 11 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I remain mystified as to why you have not responded to my queries. Geo Swan (talk) 02:22, 17 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I mentioned your deletion of these eight articles on someone else's talk page. Frankly, I am increasingly concerned over your unwillingness to engage in dialogue.  Geo Swan (talk) 18:09, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

I remain mystified as to why you haven't responded to my queries

 * I continue to be completely mystified as to why you don't seem to feel an obligation to respond to civil queries.


 * The wikipedia community conditionally entrusts administrators with extra powers -- correct?


 * I believe that trust is conditional upon administrators exercising that authority responsibly and accountably.


 * I urge you to consider that your unwillingness to reply gives the appearance that you are unwilling to be held accountable for actions you have taken. Geo Swan (talk) 23:27, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I remain mystified as to why you haven't responded to my queries. I continue to believe that the responsible exercice of the authority entrusted to you obliges you to exercise that authority accountably -- and I think this means you have an obligation to answer civil queries.  Geo Swan (talk) 04:50, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I had an exchange with another contributor as to whether I could expect you to eventually offer me a reply. Geo Swan (talk) 10:33, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Note, he is quite busy in real life with work and such. You only have to look at his contribs to see he's only made 2 edits in the last couple of weeks or so. —  Ree dy  11:48, 14 July 2008 (UTC)


 * And, as I noted in my reply to the correspondent on my talk page, I first asked for clarification almost six months ago. Kingboyk's contribution history, and administrator logs may suggest he is busy, IRL, and that the available time to spend on the wikipedia may have had limits.  But he has returned to both editiing, and exercising his administrator powers, repeatedly, in the last five and three quarter months, making hundreds of edits and exercising his administrator powers dozens of times


 * Sorry, I do not accept the argument that busyness in real life should permit a wikipedia contributor to avoid the obligation to hold himself or herself accountable to their fellow contributors.


 * On the contrary, I believe those with time constraints should budget their time so they can fulfill their obligations on those project they do start. The proper reaction to time constraints from our real life activities is to initiate fewer projects -- not to initiate the same number of projects, and then use time constraints as the justification for failing to follow through and letting the obligation to be accountable for our actions slide.  Geo Swan (talk) 22:27, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Your activities July 16 2008
Kingboyk, there are clearly intelligent wikipedia contributors who value your contributions. They have told me they know you are busy, in real life.

And I suggested that no matter how busy you are in real life this should not be a justification for acting unaccountably.

I believe my questions about your exercise of your authority have been completely civil. I believe that if you agree that administrators should exercise the authority the community entrust to them openly and accountably you should have a good reason for not trying to answer the concerns I have raised.

Since the deletion log shows you returned to the wikipedia today I am mystified why you chose to perform deletions, rather than addressing the concerns I first raised six months ago. Geo Swan (talk) 03:03, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Did you realize it has been over six months?
Did you realize it has been over six months since I first asked for your help understanding why, last fall, you deleted a series of articles I started?

I see from your contribution log that you were online on July 24th -- six months to the day since I first asked you for help understanding your exercise of your deletion powers.

I really do remain mystified why you haven't budgeted the time to draft a meaningful civil reply.

Candidly, Geo Swan (talk) 14:50, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * It is coming up on seven months since I first asked you to take the time to explain yourself. I continue to be mystified that you haven't found the time to reply to my questions.  I believe I have remained civil, and I am at a loss to understand you.  Geo Swan (talk) 03:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Did you realize it has been over seven months?
It has been over seven months since I first asked you to help me understand the concerns that triggered your series of deletions.

I remain completely mystified by this long delay.

It is coming up on a year
I continue to be mystified that you have not responded to my requests for an explanation. Geo Swan (talk) 01:26, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it has been a long time - so perhaps you should stop trying to bother a minimally active admin and instead take it up with WP:DRV. The fact that you're still here illustrates that your main interest doesn't lie in the articles themselves, but is actually in trying to start internet drama.  Wickethewok (talk) 02:31, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I believe all my attempts to seek an explanation have been completely civil.


 * I'd like to make sure I understand what you are saying.
 * Are you disputing whether all wikipedians entrusted with administrator authority should hold themselves accountable for their exercise of that authority?
 * Are you suggesting that wikipedians entrusted with administrator authority -- who consider themselves too busy in real life -- don't have to exercise their authority in an accountable manner?


 * Inquiring minds want to know. Cheers!  Geo Swan (talk) 11:27, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

No content in Category:Girls schools in England
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Girls schools in England, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Girls schools in England has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1). To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Girls schools in England, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Defamation Badfinger issue
Steve, I have an odd issue I'm hoping you can assist me with. There is a person who has created a website full of unfounded speculations about Badfinger, as well as apparent defamation about the book author and the family of Pete Ham. Virgin Media has already once removed the website from its servers because of the defamation issue, but the webhost has put it back up on another server. He is now linking to it from the Badfinger Wiki article, and I suspect he will not easily surrender should I begin deleting this link. Is there any way Wiki can block his website - if they also deem it to be defamatory? Thanks. ZincOrbie (talk) 18:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Template:WikiProject Theatre and talk page tagging/fixing
Hi, I saw User:Kingbotk/Plugin, not quite sure I understand that, but perhaps you are the right person to ask about this. Many talkpages that are already tagged with WikiProject Theatre have no rating for quality, but are already rated as such by other talkpage WikiProject templates. Is there a way for your bot,, to go through, check if the talk page contains ratings for quality in the other talkpage templates, and just add that exact same rating for the WikiProject Theatre template on that same talkpage? Would really appreciate it, it would help with my eventual work on Portal:Theatre, and identifying the quality content in WP:WikiProject Theatre. Cirt (talk) 08:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Space music
I see that you have a talent for music articles, and am wondering whether you wouldn't mind taking a look at the above. Progress has effectively been stalled by an editor who apparently has a personal obsession with the subject that borders on the monomaniacal. Currently the main problem is one of undue weight - although there are numerous other issues as well. I've now sought input from univolved parties on the wikiproject music page, and am also putting together an RFC on the subject. However, I think the situation could also benefit from whatever insights you might be willing to provide. --Gene_poole (talk) 02:12, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

As I understand it, ordinary wikipedians who think an article should be restored to main article space are encouraged to contact the administrator who deleted the article first.

I am completely mystified as to why you have not responded to my earlier queries.

I would like Hamid al-Razak restored to the main article space. As a courtesy, I am asking you to perform the main-space restoration, before making this request at WP:DRV.

Christene LeDoux article
Due to a personal riff between Ms. LeDoux and myself, I am avowed not to edit her biographical article. You may note, however, that it was her edits you reverted late last year. I see she has recently (in the last two months) reintroduced those edits. I don't care either way, but her editing style is not exactly up to WP standards, nor is it exactly kosher for her to be maintaining her own article anyway. Geolocating 212.186.17.85 shows that it originates in Austria, her (and my) current country of residence, and a message (to me) on this IP's talk page seals the deal. Please use your judgment accordingly. --Otheus (talk) 23:17, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Kingbotk plugin source
I was wondering if the source code for your plugin is available somewhere. I was curious because I've started running a bot that does wikiproject tagging using it and in the event that someone requests tagging involving extra parameters you haven't provided programatic support for it would be much more convenient for everyone involved if I could add it myself instead of asking you to do it.-- Dycedarg  &#x0436;  18:44, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

your deletion of the Clark Gesner page
Hello, I represent the family and estate of Clark Gesner and it has been brought to our attention that his biography has been removed from Wikipedia and this is of great concern to us. He was a most talented and well respected man in the theatre world, his body of work is archived in the library of Princeton University, and he is best known for his musical comedy, "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" which is the most produced play in the world each year, according to Tams Widmark. We would like to know what reasons you had for eliminating this biography from Wikipedia, as it is performed in community theatre and schools across this country and others and is only fitting that he be represented here. What did you disagree with perhaps? Were there errors in his biography? People from all over the world came to his memorial service, and respected and well-known actors, singers and musicians performed in honor of him. He was significant enough to have received a full-page obituary in the New York Times, and yet Wikipedia does not find him worthy of mention in their esteemed database? We find this disconcerting. Please correspond with us on your reasoning and perhaps we can come to some understanding and resolve this matter so that he can be returned to his rightful place. I look forward to hearing from you on this matter. Sincerely, Willow wren (talk) 13:20, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Although I don't have any personal connection to the late Clark Gesner, I am similarly curious as to why his entry has been deleted from Wikipedia. The assertions above are quite correct -- Gesner wrote one of the most successful and beloved musical comedies of all time, and is eminently deserving of a Wikipedia entry. Would you mind showing me the deleted entry, so I might construct a more lasting attempt? Yours, Jack Lechner (jhlechner@gmail.com)--74.64.101.195 (talk) 05:39, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Middlebridge_Scimitar.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Middlebridge_Scimitar.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

Could you please share the source for the Kingbotk project banner plugin? I was hoping to write a new AWB plug-in and this would really help me get started.

 * OK, I've had enough of this. Will someone PLEASE tell this user (Ultraviolet scissor flame) to stop? He has had his bit of fun, but he needs to be told that this can not go on.

Avoiding notability
Hi, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind taking a look at two accounts:


 * User:The Republic of Ben 10
 * User:The Country Of Nordic

Seems they're avoiding WP:N by creating article/user accounts and I've already warned Country of Nordic on his vandalism. I think Wikipedia would want them closed down - any suggestions?

AWB plugin
Hey, thanks for creating the plugin, im currently trying to organise a bot for WikiProject Swimming, taging articles with the banner and assessing them as stub class if the article has been listed as a stub. I was under the impression that your plug in would automaticly assess the article as stub if it was indeed a stub article. If i turn the 'auto stub' function of it just seems to tag every article as a stub even if it's not listed as a stub. Is there somthing i'm doing wrong? Or have i misunderstood the concept of the feature. Ive got an example to show you [|here]. This article isnt a stub and its gone and marked it as a stub because i have that feature turned on..If you can help me i would appreciate it. My bot is under trial, so ill need to get this worked out before its approved. Cheers Printer222 (talk) 03:56, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Query about User:Kingbotk/Plugin
There is a talk page banner named Template:WikiProject Canada which provides assessment for the various political regions (prov inces) of Canada as well as it provides assessment for the workgroups. There is a also a wikiproject which combines one province (Saskatchewan) and one workgroup (Communities) named WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods. Is there any way which your plug in can compare categories through AWB, finding ones which are in both the provincial Saskatchewan and the workgroup communities and add them to a rating project for WikiProject Saskatchewan Communities & Neighbourhoods/Assesment?

unilateral deletions...
I see you deleted Birdiesync.

The cached version doesn't indicate that the article had been prodded or had a speedy deletion tag applied to it. I'd like to ask you to clarify whether you unilaterally deleted this article, or whether a second set of eyes had looked at it, and applied a deletion tag, and you merely completed the deletion.

One of the side-effects of your earlier unilateral stealth deletions last fall drew to my attention is a weakness in the way the wikipedia's deletion log is updated. When an administrator, like you, makes a unilateral stealth deletion, and records that deletion in the deletion log with a WP:CSD tag, it spoofs the record to look like the deletion was the completion of speedy deletion, where two sets of eyes looked at the deletion.

I guess it must be clear to you that I strongly disagree with administrators like you using their power to unilaterally delete articles unless that deletion is required to address an actual emergency.

Without regard to whether this concern of mine is misplaced or meaningful I strongly urge you to consider a way to record these deletions in a way that makes clear no one else looked at the deletion, that you weren't completing a speedy deletion.

I am going to remind you that the deletion policies and guidelines recommend informing the person who started an article, and its major contributors, when you place a deletion tag. I am going to remind you that when administrators unilaterally delete an article the article creator will not learn that their work was deleted.

I found it extremely unpleasant to learn you deleted eight articles I started, without givingt me any notice, recording those deletions in the deletion log as if you were merely concluding a speedy deletion initiated by someone else.

Without regard to your opinion with my concern that administrators should reserve unilateral deletion for genuine emergencies I ask you to consider advising the article creator. I used the term stealth deletions -- because the article creators don't learn about the deletion, and the deletion log implies the deletion was a mundane conclusion of a WP:CSD. If administrators who perform unilateral deletions inform the article creator those deletions are not stealth deletions. Geo Swan (talk) 02:43, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice
Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Cheltenham coat of arms.gif)
Thanks for uploading Image:Cheltenham coat of arms.gif. 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. BJBot (talk) 06:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Replaceable fair use Image:Disco 2000 - Uptight video.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Disco 2000 - Uptight video.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content 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 this non-free 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 non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our non-free content 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, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per our non-free content policy.

As you've got a bot working in a similar field to my idea for a bot, listed here, I would really appreciate your comments, particularly with regards to how to assess whether someone is living or dead. Your bot, I think, assumes they are alive if they are listed in Living People; my bot proposition would try and make sure that was more accurate. I assume that decision is on grounds of speed rather than feasibility? Anyway, let me know, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Jarry1250 (talk) 15:37, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Not Groucho - Not Even an Incredible Simulation
Hi - I think we've corresponded before. Waayy back when, you sent an invitation for me to join the Beatles WikiProject. This I chose to decline. If I never formally explained why... the reasons for this were 1)my time is limited, 2)my range of interests is not, and 3)joining would mean having to listen to the half-baked and/or uninformed opinions and attitudes of a few nonetheless rabid Beatles fans, and appear by proximity to agree with or support said opinions. The third point especially I couldn't go along with.

I don't think I need to tell you how the last few years have played out, between the 't vs. T' debacle, the name-order debacle, and the sheer 'tude that comes with "true believers". If I had joined, any of those matters may have persuaded me to quit the project... and the same goes with recent attitudes I've seen from some members, and at least a couple unsigned editors.

Nobody needs to tell me some of the topics I've started aren't main-sequence, or high-profile, and my talk page isn't exactly scattered with Barnstars or GA plaques. It'd be nice to have a few, but it's also nice to have full paychecks; most of my writing time lately comes from days without work. I notice gaps, and try to fill them, or tighten the space in between. My motivation for writing on Wikipedia is to do something extra with my education and training, and keep my writing muscles toned. (And the chance to get tapped, for a larger and hopefully paying project.) Other people's motivations... are their own.

I review articles that I've contributed to from time to time, and what I tend to notice is that later editors try to cram unessential facts into them, in the name of "contributing substantially", and seem to think that a citation (particularly of a recent book) makes an unimportant item an important one. This goes against the spirit of good writing (and from what I recall, few of these people have written professionally, or gone to school for it) and doesn't make a positive contribution.

I find it odd that I get attacked for commenting on or changing articles, that I either started personally, or bumped up from stub-class to higher, and I have to wonder about the commentors, if they didn't check histories and figure out who has contributed before them, before they decided to comment (much less attack), particularly when it becomes personal. I go after poor content, and don't generally name names. In return I get personal invective, with my nick (with speculations and more comments) all over it.

I don't mind if prose I've done here gets rewritten or added to. It irks me, though, when it's simply replaced with a restatement that adds nothing but needless words, and phrasing either cloned from source materials, or not as strong as what it's expected to replace. I'm also not impressed by GA status, if it's not obtained by checking the quality of the writing, at least as much as the use of refs and footnotes.

I prefer footnotes, references, lists, bells and whistles, notes only dogs can hear, and a 41-piece orchestra when such things are available. The next-best thing is a mention in the text flow ("-- told WTF?! magazine, which a month later was seized by the Hell's Grannies"). The absence of them, though, is not a prompt for me to go on the attack, or brag about my own use of them, or start talking smack to others who made more frequent contributions before refs became such an "issue".

I'll say it again: I have read the books, played if not owned the albums, seen the videos and movies, etc., etc. that I tend to write about or comment on. I don't make stuff up out of suppositions or whole cloth. If the books, etc., were still on my house shelves, I'd be more than happy to go through and cite every last freaking foot, right down to the one in George's sandal with the stashed cash, that I may write about or try to summarize. Most of them are put away, to make room for other and later things I've studied, or are more essential to my present life.

In years past, I had much more time to read and write, and bully for anyone who has such time now. I don't, however, think this makes them automatically more expert, or more dedicated, more talented, or more worthy of kudos (which I notice people who concern themselves with exchange mostly to each other) than someone with more experience or perspective. Nor does it give them the right to talk smack. This I knew going in. I wish others did also.

I have always respected your work and your contributions here, even when I've disagreed with some of the results. I hope you never took it personally that I didn't join the project. I knew from experience what I was likely to find among the membership... and sad to say, it wasn't proven wrong. The more outspoken and "active" of the members I deal with haven't impressed me. Neither has the 'tude I've seen displayed, and I don't appreciate it from them. Wouldn't mind if you passed that along, in a general way. (As in, names not named.)

I don't blame you for them. But I wanted to get my two cents out, if I hadn't in one burst in the past. Thanks, and good luck. Zephyrad (talk) 00:31, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

question...
You ran a bot that added templates to biographical talk pages.

It seems to have routinely added "listas" parameters -- assuming that all names should be shoehorned into the European style of inherited lastname-surnames.

Would you please answer four questions:
 * 1) Didn't it occur to you that this was a mistake for the very large number of articles about individuals whose names don't follow the European style?
 * 2) Do you now understand that this was a mistake?
 * 3) Have you disabled this part of your bot?
 * 4) What measures, if any, did you take to clean up after your bot? Geo Swan (talk) 02:40, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Have you not noticed he's both not active, and the bot hasn't run in over a year? —  Ree dy  08:59, 12 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Haven't I noticed that Mr or Ms Kingboy is not active? No. On the contrary, Mr or Ms Kingboy seems to be intermittently active, on this project, making a couple of dozen edits per month, and continuing to exercise administrator authority.


 * Didn't I notice he hasn't run his bot in over a year? No.  I didn't.  And I don't see that should make a difference for good faith contributors who are trying to estimate the scale of the problems his bot left behind.  Maybe it was in the early runs of his bot, years ago, that it blithely tried to shoehorn non-European names into the European template.  But it is NOW that the errors the bot introduced are coming home to roost, because other bots have been written which assume that all "listas" parameters were added by real human beings, who knew what they were doing.  And those bots are MULTIPLYING the errors Kingboy's bot first inserted.  Geo Swan (talk) 22:52, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Kingboyk, User:Reedy warned me you are not active on the wikipedia. I suggested your records shows you are intermittently active.  Your contribution history shows you were active last Friday.


 * I am mystified and disappointed that you did not choose to help gauge the scale of the problem triggered by your bots. I hope you will change your mind.  Geo Swan (talk) 15:41, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You do seem incapable of understanding that Kingboyk has no interest in communicating with you, even after all this time after we previously discussed this matter. LessHeard vanU (talk) 16:19, 21 June 2009 (UTC)


 * "Being rude, insensitive or petty makes people upset and stops Wikipedia from working well." (Please see the list of policies on behavioral mannerisms). Being rude can be taken in several fashions, insensitive or petty is pretty easy. For example, the comment "Kingboyk, User:Reedy warned me you are not active on the wikipedia. [...] Your contribution history shows you were active last Friday." can and should be viewed as a critic on user conduct. Comments, in this context and this fashion on user conduct, can and should be interpreted as a personal attack. (Please see No_personal_attacks whereas it is stated to "Comment on content, not on the contributor") I am discouraging you from being uncivil and encourage all editors in this thread to review Etiquette. Please be careful to avoid offending people, even unintentionally. A comparable example of this can be found in the box at the top of WP:CIV which states "Participate in a respectful and considerate way." & "Do not ignore the positions and conclusions of others.". Trying to communicate on your talk page here should not, in my personal view, be considered harasment. "Au contraire", ignoring it is uncivil. (Please see WP:Etiquette which states "Do not ignore questions".) Therefore, I encourage you to continue communication. Mediation and Dispute resolution is available if needed. Also, for Bots "Programs that update pages automatically in a useful and harmless way may be welcome, as long as their owners seek approval first and are careful to keep them from running amok or being a drain on resources." If you can prove that someone didn't get "approval" to run a bot and that he wasn't careful, then I will support an RfC on user conduct. --CyclePat (talk) 16:06, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Personally, considering the situation, I have to wonder whether this discussion really makes much sense at all. It seems likely that the bot edits in question were all done over a year ago. What sense does it make to ask questions of someone regarding something that long ago, and, particularly, what possible good is there about asking them "Didn't you think..." questions. There does not seem to be any likelihood that those mistakes will be repeated by this editor, as he does not seem to be using the bot, so there does not seem to be any real possible good to be accomplished by asking it. So far as I can tell, all templates that were edited by Kingboyk with list as paremeters included here. However, if no one else has to date called specific edits into quesetion, then I can't imagine anyone knows how many such edits there might be. Also, if there haven't been prior questions, I wonder whether anyone really cares overmuch about those particular alphabetizations. Yes, I know that usage varies between languages. But there are currently about 675,000 biography articles with "listas" parameters, and I doubt very seriously if anyone is going to run through the list to see which if any are wrong. At this point, the thing that would I think make most sense is that if anyone thinks he knows of articles which might be mistakenly listed, to go through them and make the appropriate changes. But it seems to me to make very little sense to ask someone to try to remember details about bot activities of over a year ago. John Carter (talk) 16:37, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I am going to have to disagree with you as to whether sorting this out makes sense -- for several reasons.
 * While that particular bot may not have been run in a while, there are recent, current bots, and robot assisted editing tools which are only now acting on the bad "listas" fields this bot inserted in the past. Those new bots and robot assisted editing tools are assuming that these "listas" fields, which really required human judgment, are reliable, because the authors of the new bots assume all the "listas" fields were initially inserted by a real human being.  So I think it is important, now, to get an estimate of how many were inserted by a robot.
 * I believe that other bots, more recent bots, also illustrate the same improper initiative. This could be because authors of these more recent bots cut and pasted code from the source of this bot.  Or it could be because Kingboyk worked on those more recent bots and robot assisted editing tool.  Kingboyk, did you work on AWB?  Versions of AWB, or AWB operating in certain modes, seems to manifest the same and other serious problems.
 * Please remember that this bot may have inserted bad data, that is now assumed to be reliable, in tens of thousands of articles. Geo Swan (talk) 12:55, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Clark Gesner article deleted
Hi, I've noticed that the article on Clark Gesner was deleted by you, and the cause given was no proof of notability. I haven't seen the article, but Clark Gesner was certainly a notable figure (composer of 'You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown,' one of the world's most-produced musicals), and he certainly should have his own entry. If the one that had previously been posted was not adequate to Wikipedia's guidelines, I'd be willing to help supply the missing content. (I am new to Wikipedia, btw, having created an account to send this message, so please assume I know nothing in your response!)

Thanks—

Trouted
Whack! You have been trouted for: YOUR REASON HERE Hello! You seem very steady at what you do here and also have a great sense of humor, so I had to take a sec to (ala Hitchiker's Guide!) slap you with a trout for erasing the Pop Inc addition to The KLF page. Please chat with Marco @ KLF Communications ( contact@klf-communications.net ) or Google Pop Inc Looking 4 The KLF, where you will find 7.5 pages solid about them, including links to various on-line press sources. Also, they had Simon Jones (of the BBC's Hitchiker's Guide TO The Galaxy ) on the track, which alone should be reason enough to keep the entry up. Please message me if you need any other changes.

Help - Spam? COI? Need your advice
Hello King,

A long time ago, I got in trouble for spamming. Not knowing the proper way of adding information, we 'started over' and you even linked to one of my documents in the Beatles section. It has since been removed, and so has my other account, only for the grounds of the name itself, which was allegedly a conflict of interest.

That said, I restarted my account (with permission) and a new, approved name. For the past 2 months, have been contributing how you taught me, and working the information into the article with verifiable sources. However, the documents/information I work in are rarely seen declassified government documents. A google on my name John Greenewald will show you my history, along with my 'expertise' (although I hate that word) on the topics.

I now am in trouble for posting cited sources, which happen to come from similar domains (theblackvault.com). My expertise, background and contributions for almost a decade and a half to the internet, is running the largest online free repository for declassified documents in the world. I do not charge for the information, and am not trying to make money or spam. But, this is the ONLY location for documents to be sourced. So, if I don't source the material I add... it's deleted. If I source it, I am in trouble.

I am very interested in your help, as I have always appreciated the help and advice you gave me a couple years ago. I am not trying to make anyone mad, spam, or show conflicts of interest. I am trying to add information that is sourced, verifiable, neutral, and not available anywhere else.

Thank you for your advice...

 * Neutrality is an important objective at Wikipedia. Unfortunately your conflict of interest editing involves contributing to Wikipedia in order to promote theblackvault.com. Such a conflict is strongly discouraged. Your contributions to wikipedia under Blackvault, Johnbv417 and IP 24.24.168.235, consist entirely of adding content w/links to theblackvault.com and is considered  WP:Spam.

STOP Hu12 - stop following me around. I GENUINELY ASKED FOR ADVICE from this moderator, who is actually nice and talked to me instead of harassed. Your form letters and responses, along with your constant barrage of messages about me spamming on MULTIPLE pages is annoying, and shows the lack of respect you have for Wikipedia and people trying to contribute. You reference an account who did inadvertently spam, and I rectified the situation. It was only banned from the name choice, so I changed it.

Stop labling me as a wrong-doer on a past account when I didn't know at the time. AND, those edits were years ago. Now, I am genuinely asking for advice, and you flood me with your form letters and lack of respect. Leave me alone on other people's talk pages, and let me speak with someone who takes the time to write a personal response back.

Go away... and stop flooding other people's talk pages.

 * Just because you changed your account doesn't make for an exemption when the pattern of behavior remains the same. "If the same pattern of editing continues after the warning, the account may be blocked"coi. I've put all the relative policy based material on your talk page and you have been sufficiantly warned. Wikipedia policy is quite clear here:
 * BLOCK
 * Persistent spamming
 * Accounts that appear, based on their edit history, to exist for the sole or primary purpose of promoting a person, company, product, service, or organization in apparent violation of Conflict of interest or anti-spam guidelines.
 * Guidelines such as conflict of interest are generally accepted among editors and is considered a standard that users should follow. Equally Wikipedia is not a place to to promote your site. --Hu12 (talk) 14:46, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Comments subpages (Village pump discussion)
I was following a discussion at one of the village pumps about the comments subpages used by some articles, and having a vague memory that WP:WP 1.0 started them, I went looking for the old discussions that started them and found these: 1, 2, 3 (May to July 2006). You were one of the five main participants at those discussions, so I'm notifying all five of you so that some input from when this all started can be obtained for the current discussion, as I'm not sure the full picture is being presented there so far. I'll leave a note at the Village Pump discussion saying who I notified. I also left a note at the WP:WP 1.0 talk page, but not sure how much you each follow that page now, hence the user talk page note. Carcharoth (talk) 19:10, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello old boy - long time etc. Have you any more information regarding the Tom Bailey / Alannah Currie / Cautry - divorce / separation / current arrangements, than I have managed to unearth here ? - ''Bailey and Currie split up in 2003, and are now divorced. They both left New Zealand and live separately in Britain, but are still close friends. Currie currently lives with Jimmy Cauty (formerly of The KLF) and is a trained upholsterer. ''

I am currently trying to improve the Thompson Twins article - I know, but someone has to make an effort - and would appreciate any input. Currently listening, as I type to, "Dust My Broom" from Elmore James if that helps your decision making. Very best wishes,

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Articles for deletion/Guy Goma (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Radio Caroline Ltd
If you had read both Radio Caroline and Radio Caroline Ltd, then examined the histories, you would have realised that the whole of the content of the latter was already included in the former. If you look to the history of the main  RC  article you will see an attempt to split the article in November last year by someone attempting to re-write the official history with dubious material!!. Looking further back you will see that a number of related articles were merged some time earlier. The article is constantly monitored to stop further vandalisim

RCL is an article that does not link to any other part of the Radio Caroline history, and as such is a candidate for deletion

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Fair use rationale for File:Carter USM - The Good, TheBad, The Average And Unique.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Carter USM - The Good, TheBad, The Average And Unique.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box.

Consideration for "The Prankster (film)"
I think "The Prankster (film)" should be brought back live.

A lot of the cast have become well known (Maiara Walsh, Jareb Duplaise, Michaela Watkins, etc.) and the film is being released in September by a well recognized distributor (Strand Releasing).

I warrants mention along with many of the other films currently active in wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Briz dad (talk • contribs) 03:45, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free image File:SOS Front Cover May 2006.jpg
 Thanks for uploading File:SOS Front Cover May 2006.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.

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).

PLEASE NOTE:

What to do with the Persondata article
Hello. I was trying to find information on what "Persondata" was and came across the Persondata article, which has been deleted multiple times.

I see you deleted the article once so I thought I would leave you a message - if you have input on what we could do to solve this please visit the Persondata talk page and leave a note. Thanks! --Culix (talk) 04:12, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for File:Listening to Richard Brautigan.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Listening to Richard Brautigan.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file 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 file 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 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Fair use rationale for File:Listening_to_Richard_Brautigan.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Listening_to_Richard_Brautigan.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 non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Stephanie S. Tolan


A tag has been placed on Talk:Stephanie S. Tolan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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". 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. Mike  2  8  9  17:02, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

Discussion on linking to streamed copies of albums
Wikipedia policy allows us to link to legal streamed copies of albums. It would be useful to draw up a guideline on how and when to link to such albums; however, there is concern that it may not be appropriate as the music would not be available in all parts of the world. Is the benefit of having access to the music for most users outweighed by the fact that some users will follow a link to find the music is not playable in their region? Your view would be helpful at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Albums.  SilkTork  ✔Tea time  02:24, 16 December 2011 (UTC)

MSU Interview
Dear Kingboyk,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the communityHERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:
 * Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
 * Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
 * All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
 * All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
 * The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your nameHERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chlopeck (talk • contribs) 03:48, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

Baffling, inappropriate banner removal
Greetings -- Regarding the Jaid Barrymore article's Talk page:

Since this bot has been involved with this Talk page from it's beginning in 2006, I thought you might be interested in the confusion I'm having. I addition to the "biographies of living persons" and WikiProject Biography banners, there was a banner for a "Sexuality portal" for "sex workers". Nothing in this poorly written article suggests that it was at all appropriate, so I deleted it. Initially, the banner was present in all the stages of editing from your first entry one on "18:11, 13 August 2006 Kingbotk (talk | contribs) . . (45 bytes) (+45) . . (Tag with for WP1.0 assessments/Living persons bio)". Now, since I deleted the banner, it only appears in the history under a 2010 edit entry.


 * How did that banner get to this Talk page in the first place - I don't see it in the Talk page's history, though I have no experince figuring these histories out.
 * Even if I deleted the banner today, wouldn't it still appear in all those other stages of editing instead of retroactively vanishing?

I find this quite confusing. If you could explain this event to me, I would appreciate it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Jaid_Barrymore#Inappropriate_portal_banner_removed Thank you, Wordreader (talk) 03:11, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Talk:Ernie Manouse


A tag has been placed on Talk:Ernie Manouse 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 specific animal, 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

Apple Corps vs. Apple Computer vs. Apple //gs
Hi there. I see that you created Apple_Corps_v_Apple_Computer by copying from Notable_litigation_of_Apple_Computer. However, your version has some content which I can't find in the original; it would seem that you originated it. Your version said this: "The result effectively terminated any further development of the highly profitable Apple II line, any foray Apple was making into the multimedia field in parallel of the Amiga at the time, and any future advanced built-in musical hardware into the Macintosh line." As a former kid with a //gs, I'm interested in that claim, for my own personal research, as well as substantiating and referencing it in the encyclopedia. Where'd that information come from? Thanks!
