Hi, could you take a look at the work we've done on List of Veronica Mars episodes and let me know whether you think we've satisfied your requests? Cornucopia and I are actually having a slight disagreement about how much to put into the episode summaries, but we're both agreed to go with whatever think is an appropriate length. Thanks!

Do these hospitals meet any CSD criteria?
I saw you in the recent changes, so I've come to ask your opinion on whether or not Columbia Asia Hospital - Taiping and Columbia Asia Medical Center - Puchong meet any of the CSD criteria. I declined the speedy on both articles because they were not promotional. If you have time, please comment at User talk:Cunard. Cheers, Cunard (talk) 05:26, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * As the original nominator, I should mention that admin User:Tone speedily deleted very similar articles on hospitals in this group yesterday. Michellecrisp (talk) 05:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I don't think you'll have anyone question you if you do it as A7-company. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 05:50, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

The Welcome to the Circus Tour
Hi I just saw that you deleted, an article that I had bookmarked since I noticed it was using a Fair Use image improperly, and wanted to fix it. I notice that you deleted it as an A3 "no content" article, but I'm sure that it several paragraphs. I don't deny that it might need deleting per WP:NOTE and WP:CRYSTAL in the end anyway, but can you undelete it please since I know there was a non-A3 revision in the history somewhere? Cheers, Amalthea Talk 12:46, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Replied at user's talk page. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 17:07, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, I neither noticed the edit war nor that it contained the exact same content from the article. Why didn't you just protect it though, if it was an apparent content dispute? Deleting it as an A3 is still very wrong, no content dispute should be solved that way. Cheers, Amalthea Talk 19:17, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It wasn't deleted to solve a content dispute as there was no edit war. The content had been copied word-for-word to Circus (Britney Spears album) in this edit. When I deleted it, it was completely blank, as those who had redirected it had gone back and removed the redirect link. There was no content. The content that was there had been moved to another page. If you want the page back, it back it isn't salted. You can recreate it with a redirect, or whatever. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:29, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I only read the content dispute from the "last 13(!) edits were redirects". No contest at all then, and I didn't want to bother you, I was just surprised. :) Thanks & Cheers, Amalthea Talk 00:33, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Marc-andre aucoin
You removed the speedy delete tag from this page and replaced it with a notenglish tag. To be sure, the article is not written in English. But as a person with a passing familiarity with French, I can assure you that translation will NOT help this article. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 21:21, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes I did. As CSD A2 is for "Foreign language articles that exist on another Wikimedia project." This didn't, so "If the article does not exist on another project, use the template notenglish instead". It has since been prodded, so I suspect it will be deleted anyway. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:32, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't propose deletion under CSD A2, but rather CSD A7 as the bio of a non-notable person. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 05:57, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, but I didn't know if it truly is a non-notable person. By removing it and adding the notenglish template, someone can either (a) translate it, (b) move it to the French Wikipedia, or (c) leave it. If (a) happens and it is still not notable, it will be retagged anyway, if (b), it will get deleted, and if (c), it will get deleted. Tell you what though, after running it through Google Translate, I can endorse the prod if you want? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 06:24, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Cathkin railway station, Victoria
You deleted Cathkin railway station, Victoria as a copyvio, which it was. If you could restore the article and replace the copyvio sentence with the following one (but keep the infobox and categories), I think the article will be fine.

Cathkin is a former railway station in Cathkin, Victoria, Australia.

Many thanks. -- Eastmain (talk) 04:34, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Changkuan_Yu
Hello, I have translated this page and do not think it belongs on Wikipedia. I do agree that now looking back, I incorrectly tagged the page due to it not being in English. However if you translated it, you will see it appears to be nonsense(well actually some random story\bio?). How do you suggest to go about this situation? Afd? Thank you for your time, Matthew Yeager  10:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC) Translated To go abroad to study seed germination in the fourth grade, when  National hot, I read from start to finish to study, perhaps because the infant and childhood fantasy, perhaps because I was stubborn and keen to challenge the character, When people read the elite of the United States as the elusive mirage, I think this is what I look for a good long life, convinced that their own to go down that road in the end, and the abnormal development of this cold-blooded plan Will be learning English as a high school in the early learning a top priority. Now think about lingering fear that if the application failed to pay a lot of money and effort on in vain, but always eager to challenge and adventure, eager to create the miracle I will not bow to the risks and difficulties, I know that if I gave up I will look down upon their own life, if a person is a betrayal of their ideals is a betrayal of one's soul, and I do not want to live such a life. After a painstaking accumulation in 2056, when the Grade I finally set foot on the students to apply for that thorny path. As the Dalian is a small place, blocking the news, there is no tradition of studying abroad until January 16, 2007 Beijing New Oriental into the school at that time, I realize that many of the students from Beijing and Shanghai high on a third or even the beginning of the study and application Ready, I am starting a Dazao, a night-time. Three others will want to work in one year to finish and do the best, we must make painstaking efforts. New Oriental in hell that day, during the day on my TOEFL and SAT classes, but also back to the basement of the school hostel word back, look at English, 300 per day GRE words, American University history department teaching reading 400,000 words a month, Daily life with my words "do not go to bed." Not only the spirit of extreme fatigue, the body has been tortured. Dalian used to the mild winter, all of a sudden came to Beijing's Zhongguancun Hanfengcigu, I immediately fell ill, nose drip like running water, basic voice could not utter a word. Say that I am not too tired another case. I admired very limit of the Beijing students, who adhere to New Oriental, the school can return to the warmth of home, the news was more to see, however, there are so many exchange students, to encourage, help, and I, nothing. I was not living in our hearts and minds, learning difficulties SAT on the unbearable. With the teacher as saying that this is the creativity and intelligence of a harsh test, not only to reach 13,000 words, to have a more unusual experience, this is a metamorphosis of the examination, so that only their first ordeal metamorphosis may be a Capture SAT. IQ? I do not know, physical contest to get Renyangmafan time high, then take the first prize is also lucky, they usually do a title can understand what I have to do three or even more each day just before midnight Aodao To keep up with. Experience? Domestic SAT test, after all, few people can Amoy counseling to the handful of books, the title of the sea want to play is not possible, but the title of the sea that I was foolish tactics in the Chinese Institute of the only high school skills. Later in the Hong Kong opened horizons, but three books will be 1,000 yuan! I have studied overseas rivals in 2056, TOEFL115 above, and some students are Beijing, Peking University, Tsinghua University, Paul at the end, some students whose parents are college English professor, it seems that they will be born to speak English, and I have never had a Country, parents can not afford counseling, I, in Liaoning admitted to Beijing University Tsinghua just want to buy lottery tickets. Although I am little public enemy, even if Shenxianchongwei, I still believe that Ben Xiaohai love God, love of the hard work and perseverance of Ben Xiaohai. Studying abroad is a nightmare, New Oriental's day is just the beginning. Dalian return to the one I prepare for the exam. I have already given up too much, not back corner, while unsuccessful Chengren, no place to hide dead end in front of me when the time is hidden. I have this word back from start to finish by 5 and a half times, each page can clearly see the sweat soaking me. If the teacher said to get a scholarship 1,600,000, GRE word is an average of 200 yuan each, and perhaps this is the best word I Siken power. Internet, books, books, Internet, the poor and their lives under the blue sky, I at all costs as much as possible to find the SAT simulation title, day and night and a race against time, I know the fate of the opportunity given to me by a very limited capacity I have not the slightest let up. Fortunately, the role of the suddenness of a thunderbolt to kill them. Many outstanding students are not at the expense of the examination, or apply for a visa, but have been slaughtered early in the application of a clearance. China was to apply for the development of explosive, and a variety of factors, only China and Iran have not yet SAT test sites, we have to scramble on-line newspaper in Hong Kong, South Korea and even Singapore and Vietnam was minimal at the moment. The first to know new places of tension in the east of the classroom, then the number of places in the first half of 2007 almost did not, we do not know what has been reported. Bank of China must be the international credit card processing needs for 15 days, then as early as places are the light. I was born for the first time in the world to me, playing Ben Xiaohai, it seems that the American dream shattered in this regard. At this time the father to kill them, he used a friend, miraculously, by a credit card, a boil overnight, and miraculously were reported on, and I want that date. Although my dad who engage in foreign trade, but his English is still difficult to deal with the application, I was in Beijing can not access, a full set of procedures are far from the old man in Shenyang completed a perfect independence, it is a miracle. Registration crisis has not ended. May 3, in Hong Kong to board the plane before the SAT exam, I was on the same plane from the students know where on April 29 TOEFL registration, 4 hours reported on all over, and before that I also believe that self-righteous places TOEFL You win some and yes. Hundreds of thousands of mainland students going to have to divide up the quota, to which we have high school students. At that time I was graduating from college after studying abroad for me is almost impossible, let alone in Beijing University Qinghua test难于上青天several departments before, that is, on the application of the new East Course, registration examination hurdle I Jiusiyisheng. This is my thing, the Hong Kong Examinations Hunbushoushe causing unrest. I like Dalian back to the hot pan on the ant, observe every day on the Internet, and so little hope to test other people back at the moment. At this time, mother and kill it. May 7, the mother hurriedly left the Industrial and Commercial Bank of the on-line payment cards, I spent an afternoon to learn how to use, on the night, waiting in the 8 hours, finally picked up miraculously A number of places in Shenzhen, on May 8 and a day, picked up a number of places in Changchun on May 18. Think later, the mother either act quickly on a certain night looking at the places from the front has passed, perhaps on the American dream and I passed the. This time, I finally believe that the days never were on the road, a natural bridge to the ship straight. As the well-prepared, the two have successfully pass the examination, SAT1, I also managed to get a pleasant surprise, and I have to apply for Stanford to become the greatest weight. Fortunately, I had him again, the day before the exam I wrote the essay and simulation on the second day of examination the subject is almost exactly the same, while many people are not finished, I can completely satisfied with their finished an article. Within a few days in Hong Kong, the biggest feeling is that he had been too poor, there is the price of seven or eight times, a magazine more than 30, 78 yuan a deep-fried dough sticks, SAT 3 more than 1,000 books, I have not even been coveted The fruit of the South for a long time I did not spend money. I secretly vowed to go to a certain price level where the maximum life of the United States in order to go anywhere in the world do not feel like a beggar. After the examination is long and hard to apply. People have the impression that in the study is to test into the application and the Chinese University spent more than 10 million to allow the intermediaries do, they do a more than 200 schools, but would be too famous to apply for amateur. ZHOU Rong time out to kill a teacher. ZHOU Rong teachers, nicknamed the "mother of Harvard," the Oriental professors in the new application more than 10 years, has successfully applied for the past ten Harvard, the rest of countless schools. WORKSHOP her SAT scores for students offered free counseling to help our DIY. WORKSHOP this has been out of HARVARD, STANFORD, MIT, YALE, PRINCETON, COLUMBIA, CALTECH numerous. Once again, Beijing jealous classmates, they sit in class every Sunday to Subway, I have to fly every week. Long-distance bus. Trains to and from Beijing to Dalian, but also because it prepared to send an examination of Beijing University, the school's classes can not be delayed. One after another dozen round-trip, as the party's cattle spread, the lines of tension, there is no one to buy a smooth vote, K683, T225, and so did not vote every time, even more dramatic, just before the beginning of the morning as selling a ticket, that is, Into the first team as a whole, will see the cold that staff "did not vote!" Where are the votes? I know many votes dealers, robbing them line up votes, or directly from the railway staff within the hands of vote buying, and then doubled again to sell me innocent people sometimes do not buy votes. On one occasion, because of time constraints, I have a lot of hard work from the hands of cattle to buy the tickets left 4 minutes later, I did not catch up, sitting in the Beijing Railway Station Square, I really tears, every day should not be called, Being heard by anyone. In some cases, aircraft and trains bus ticket vendors did not even vote, I have to take a temporary increase in car L81, L83. It was the 1980s the old train, only to sit votes, there is no air-conditioning, in order to allow the express train, it would take 10 minutes to stop 20 minutes, 17 hours one-way, on several occasions I have even sat within 48 hours More than 30 hours of the car! Sometimes a 1:00 Sleepless in Beijing, have in the McDonald's in Pazhe sleep for a while, in some cases back to the early morning of Dalian, she could only sleep for 34 hours had to go to school the next day. Every time I take this car, my dad told me that would "feel human sufferings." After the teacher's professional training, repeatedly amending the article, read more than 10 professional applications become less mysterious, just need to be patient, careful, sincere and innovative. Oct. 10, STANFORD Federal Express to send to the full range of materials, not only sent a small pile of heavy material, but also for so many years of effort and hard work, I was on the pursuit of a better future is On my own strength and quality challenges. To send, I quietly said to myself, I have done my best in the future will not one day regret their failure to honor the dream and having to struggle hard in the end. December 15, anxiously waiting for two months after the exciting day finally arrived. Strangely enough, would have an unlimited look forward to this day, but the more it is near, I am afraid the more timid talks. 4:00 I get up in the Shou-line, and all the Chinese students waiting for the common destiny of the decision, this may be my life's eternal day, the more likely it is very disappointing day, but I believe that bravely face up to life, and God I would favor the experienced too many unfortunate people. Boil for a whole six hours after the 9:57, the long-awaited e-mails that finally into the mailbox, when I started trembling under the point of it, the direction in my mind that meditation has long-standing text, and that's very familiar with the The school badge, it is clear, but soon raging in the blur of tears, all is so incredible, so there is a matter of course. I feel for the first time when the realization of the dream alone shed tears of happiness in my life that is eternal golden moment, it is worth bearing in mind that in my life. My mind will not help during difficult times of despair, I can not find in the simulation time Zhuaernaosai title of my cattle in the party before the vote, I discuss the round-shouldered, long-distance travel in China alone exhausted me, how many people were misunderstanding of the criticism I hesitate in the face of lingering risk of me in the cold basement of Beijing, I curled the ball in the desk teeth in the struggle in my sleepy, in Hong Kong on test Fenbijishu of me is still in an impasse in their own comfort " I still have ideals, "I. All this I firmly believe that once again: Ben Xiaohai love God, love of the hard work and perseverance of Ben Xiaohai. I would like to thank my company through the hard times so many parents, I feel very lucky as his son did not let you down, and enthusiastic guidance and help ZHOU Rong my teacher, my admission has proved to be notified of your concern and labor can not be replaced The value, there are always encouraged me to support the students, to fight side by side with you is my greatest honor, there is always concern that so many of my people, I am worried for the people, I believe I will succeed, quietly I wish. You let me know that I am not alone. If I do set foot on the land of the United States, I will bless the ocean's everybody over there in silence, I would never disgrace the Chinese people, to prove to the world the wisdom and perseverance of the Chinese nation is unique in the world, with the dream of the extraordinary achievements of the highest, And other nationalities. I believe that a growing number of Chinese students studying in the world for a mother to leave Nongmochongcai. And the application is about to apply for the students, the dream of advancing to the indomitable, is also back in charge at the expense of the road, the goddess of victory always go through fire and water protection to those who dream of the more down-the more the Ben Xiaohai.

 * Hi. I've looked into the images, and I'm a little hesitant to undelete them all at the moment. From what I understand, they are either screenshots of movies directed by Mahmoud Shoolizadeh, photographs of Mahmoud, or photos of other things. In the email you sent, you say you are "the owner of the (...) images and (...) have given permission for them to be used freely and according to the copyright tags on the images". It appear from various references in the articles about Mahmoud's films that Pouya Shoolizadeh is Mahmoud's child, and that given your screenname is Pouya sh, that person is you. Therefore, I am happy to WP:Assume good faith that you are the owner of the photos of Mahmoud, and I will restore those image, but not the screenshots of Mahmoud's films. Mahmoud, as the films' director, is the copyright owner, and he would have to give permission for their free use. Alternatively, they can be used as Fair use images, and given a detailed WP:Fair use rationale for their inclusion on the articles.

 * Thanks for your cooperation. yes you are correct in assuming that he is my father. Regarding the films screenshots, he is the owner, and it was him that sent that e-mail to permissions-en@wikimedia.org giving permission for their use on wikipedia. He sent that email because I notified him that he needs to do it as the administrators here need his permission. So can you please undelete them too? (It was him that sent the email not me, and he gave permission). His email's username is noora1381, where Noora is his main film and 1381 is the year of the films production in the Iranian calendar.

Dear Matthewedwards: I saw you're online at WP:HAU, and you did the most recent admin-type-thing in the Log as of 8:30 UTC, so I figured I'd ask you for your help. Can you CSD G6 Change.gov for me? I'm trying to do a move to fix something I messed up, doing my first WP:AFC approval, and I need the article speedied to do it. (I should have moved it rather than copied it, so the history is borked, and the source page is in limbo.)

Barnstar

 * Wow, thank you. One of the more humbling barnstars I've received, I think. Here's what happened:
 * At 7.20pm (Pacific time -- my timezone) an IP edited the article Suicide, making a claim that an Evan Kucera would die in two hours. I actually have that page watchlisted for such threats, although I wasn't online at the time.
 * At around 10.30pm I came online, went on IRC and checked my watchlist, where I saw the edit. It was being discussed in the admin channel at the same time, and after a SamSpade WHOIS query of the IP was conducted, it was decided that someone should contact the IP's ISP and the local police department. I did the latter.
 * I spoke to a detective and explained that I am an admin on the Wikipedia website and that it had been brought to my attention that someone had posted a comment to one of the webpages there, that a threat had been made that someone called Evan Kucera was going to die within two hours. Unfortunately she didn't know what Wikipedia was, asked if I was a minister, and what is an IP.
 * I explained that WP is an online encyclopedia, on the internet, and that someone had changed one of the pages of the website to say that this someone will die. I gave her the name of that someone, the IP address who made the threat, but still she didn't understand so put me on hold and passed me on to another detective.
 * Fortunately, the second cop knew what WP was and how it worked so I didn't have to explain all that again. Again, I gave him Evan's name, the IP address, the ISP, the ISP's phone number, and the URL of the diff where the threat was made and the time it was made. I gave him my name and phone number, and explained that the threat was made three hours ago and it said he would "die in two hours". I also told him that it couldn't be determined whether the threat was made by Evan himself, or by someone else, and that it was entirely possible that it could be a hoax, but that my phone call wasn't.
 * The cop explained to me that they didn't have a 24 hour IT department, but that he would attempt to contact the IP's ISP to get the IP's information.
 * At the same time, the discussion was still ongoing in the admin channel at IRC, and a geolocate had determined that the IP may be in Lincoln, Nebraska. A google search of "Evan Kucera"+"Lincoln Nebraska" returned positive hits, and another admin, Huntster, contacted the PD there.
 * I don't know if Evan or an enemy made the threat, or whether it was real or just him or a friend playing a joke. I just followed WP:SUICIDE and gave what I thought would be the best information in the circumstances. I don't believe there is anything more we can do in this case, except maybe a followup phone call.
 * Thanks again for the barnstar. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 19:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Look what I pulled up. Based on that geolocation, it seems Evan Kucera is a high school basketball player in lincon nebraska according to the Lincon Journal Star --Ipatrol (talk) 19:47, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I know. I haven't heard back from the cops. I don't know if they investigated it or not. I wasn't the only person to call them though, so hopefully they realised it wasn't a hoax call. Save from calling them again, or the school, there's not much we can do, but it's probably too late now anyway :/ Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 21:06, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

 * I'm not sure what you mean by "'Hagger'-vandalism meme", but last night four accounts (Dbuckner, Jan Dodonna, Tott Doneeta and Luke Organa), which were all created on 19 October, went on a Hagger spree between 00:18 and 00:27 and started moving pages to H,A,G.G.ë.R ?, H,A.G.G.ë.R ?, H Ë R M Ë Ë ?, etc. User:Chris G blocked the first three, I blocked Luke.

 * Note that we immediately indef-block on sight, rather than give warnings, and WP:DENY them any kind of recognition by not placing block templates on their talk pages, not allowing them to edit their own talk page (which I forgot to do last night [[Image:Face-plain.svg|25px]], but his talk page was blocked and salted instead), or send emails. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 17:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. I saw you indef-block on sight, and I figured that there was a history there that I was not aware of. Thanks for bringing me up to speed. I'll do the same from now on. - Richard Cavell (talk) 22:13, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

OTRS tag
Uh.. you tagged the image Image:Mahmoud Shoolizadeh.jpg as archived in our OTRS system, but you did not reply or close the related ticket. Could you see to that please? Thanks. (respond on my talk page please) ——  nix eagle 18:46, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't have access to the OTRS ticket. I asked User:Orderinchaos to check the email for me, because of User talk:Matthewedwards. After looking at the ticket, the images, the pages they appeared on and the user's reply at my talk page, he said I could restore them. I didn't realise there was another step in the process, sorry.

Russell Brand Show prank telephone calls row
Can't disagree with this deletion, as I don't see why we need to have this image, but there seems to be an inconsistency in Externalimage, especially in the light of its deletion review in that if we can't host copyrighted images, there seems to be no objection to linking to them. The specific example in WP:ELNEVER that stands out is Youtube, a known host of copvios. Your thoughts welcome, in that we are not linking to a copyright violation; we are linking to the original source, aren't we? -- Rodhull andemu  00:22, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I have no opinion on Externalimage; I assume in certain situations it may be of use. WRT to the image it was linking to,, it looks like it appeared either in The Sun or its website (or both) and has a "© PA" (Press Association?) watermark. The image is at the Daily Mail's website though. Now, it may not be copyright infringement considering how many other pictures I've just seen with "© PA", but it would be better to get it from The Sun if it has to be there at all. Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 00:46, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Tricky; the PA doesn't make its material available otherwise than to subscribers such as The Sun, so it's moot as to whether we can actually link to an original source; the whole point of Externalimage as I read it is that we can link externally unless and until a free image is available- this seems to be a temporary fix; in this case, a free image of Georgina Baillie should not be that hard to obtain per WP:NFCC. But still, there's no particular reason why the article should carry an image of her, and I can't disagree with your removal of the link. On balance, I think it's better left out. -- Rodhull andemu  01:00, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Image:The Escape Engine-press photo.jpg
Can you please explain why you deleted Image:The Escape Engine-press photo.jpg? It is my understanding that the record label emailed permissions@wikimedia.org on Saturday, October 25, 2008 stating the content of the Fidelity Records has been released under cc-by-sa-2.0 and received a reply from Wilhelm Schnotz on Tuesday, October 28, 2008 (see: Ticket#2008102510020933). The guys at the label have been very understanding and helpful but I can't keep going back to them asking questions or to do more things every time this photo is deleted. So, please help me out and let me know if there something that I am missing? Thanks. --NJ hardcore kid (talk) 03:26, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

A moment of your time?
Hi, this is a bit out of nowhere but since you did help to delete a blatant copyvio that I tagged I figured you could assist me in another matter. I have tagged several images that were uploaded by User talk:Jenevip for either not having sources or for their lack of fair use claims. Anyhow, I have tagged one particular image (Image:Teambatista.jpg) several times now. The image is always deleted, but the user continues to upload the same image again (with the same improper license and with no source). This has happened several times now with not only that image but with one other that I have tagged before of theirs. I'm not sure about how I should go about talking to the user about this so I was hoping that you could caution the them about continuously uploading the deleted images. I would really appreciate the assistance. :] --Pinkpineapple (talk) 17:27, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Solution?
Be Black Hole Sun, you have been in an edit war over Template:WikiProject Rock music since August, and you asked me to edit the entire template to some new format that didn't use Template:WPBannerMeta without really explaining why. I told you to place an on the template talk page and wait for an admin. An admin came and declined it, so you unredirected both Template:WPRock and Template:WPRock disco and filled them in with your new template. All three templates are highly visible on many, many talk pages, and after they were re-redirected you undid it again and again. Disrupting the process is bad enough, but then in the edit summaries and on my talk page you say to the editor you're in conflict with things like "MY TEMPLATE WORKS", "YOU AINT A MEMBER" and other things which could be considered uncivil. I'm assuming this refers to being a member of the WikiProject, but you don't WP:OWN the template, nor does the WikiProject. As I was looking through the history, I saw that User:Russian Airplay had made the same edits you have been making to the template during the time that you were blocked last week. When I checked Russian Airplay's contribs that editor had only edited pages that you had. I also saw that his edit summaries and usage of language were similar to yours, and that he "retired" when you were unblocked. Based on this I asked a checkuser to investigate, who told me that it was a match.

Xenocidic asked whether an indef block is too harsh. I don't think so. You were previously indef blocked from en-Wikipedia and the Norwegian Wikipedia for operating multiple sock accounts and committing vote fraud. You promised you would behave and not create more socks, and asked for a second chance which was given by the blocking admin here on en; however, while you can be a good editor, as evidenced by your FL and GA contributions, you are also more than happy to engage in edit warring, disruptive editing, and such. In fact, you were blocked once already on this account for evading a block, so it's not as if you don't know it's not allowed. In light of what I have already said, and your response that you operate under other accounts and will continue to make more, I do not feel comfortable in unblocking you.
 * I want to find a solution here, this block isn't really doing any good. I'll stop edit warring, disruptive editing, and the sockpuppetry. Reason why i'm asking is that this block isen't working very good for me or for Wiki libs and Scarian. I want to find a solution this which will resolve in my unblock. I know i've been bad. First i never had any sockpuppet accounts as stated on my user page and second can you unblock my BBHS user talk page, Scarian blocked.

There is no way in hell that I would allow this guy to be unblocked. How dare he request something that he wants? Is this a joke? "I'll stop edit warring, disruptive editing, and the sockpuppetry" - Immediately after he left the above comment, he then went on another undo rampage. It's beyond a joke. BBHS, do you think immaturity gets you anywhere? I'm sick of this guy and his childish behaviour. Scarian Call me Pat!  14:43, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I've declined an unblock request from this user. I'm not seeing much more than "Fine, fine, you're right and I'm wrong, can I edit now please?", and I think Scarian would agree that that's not enough. Perhaps some admin might be convinced of the editor's intent to edit properly, but I'm not seeing it. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 17:00, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for taking care of that. I've only just come online and hadn't gotten around to it yet. It should be noted that yesterday he used the following accounts:

 * I'm sure there are more that we don't know about, but judging by some of the edits and the summaries, "DIPLOMACY OR RANGE BLOCK, WHAT WILL IT BE", "Replaced content with 'fuck yeah -- ~ " and "WISH IT WAS ANOTHER WAY" while removing content from an article, it's clear that he's not ready to return yet.

Image:Preah Vihear Temple.png
That's a lovely image you've uploaded for the Preah Vihear Temple article (and you're a brave man to edit there!). Any chance you could upload a new version that corrects the typo in the name of the Cambodian capital - Phnom Penh? I have made the same mistake myself when typing rapidly, what with the 'g' being next to the 'h' and all. Cheers, Paxse (talk) 14:13, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

I had no knowledge of the situation and only had an hour to make it, so I'm glad you like it. Thank you. I've gone ahead and fixed the typo now, but you know, you could have done it yourself.

Formatting a list with images
Hi Matthew; could I ask your advice about a list which is currently in the early stages of development but which I intend to take to FLC ultimately? Bear with me, this might be a bit long-winded...

I'm preparing a list of listed buildings in Crawley. Ultimately, I want to get an image of every one, but I will only be writing separate articles on the most notable ones, which is unlikely to be more than about 10 (out of 94). Normally one would wikilink the buildings which have articles, and leave the others as plain text:

(etc.)

Instead, I thought of wikilinking each entry in the table to an image on Commons, and writing brief summaries of the few buildings which do have separate articles in the lead...

Do you think that would be considered inappropriate in a FL? It seems like an elegant solution to me, and would let me put in more columns of info than I have at the moment (currently I have some images in a line down the right-hand side of the screen, like in this list. I've seen it used in a list section of an FA, incidentally. Thanks for any advice you can give.  Hassocks 5489 (tickets please!)  12:52, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The problem I see with doing it like the second example is how would you link to the articles? Readers won't expect the links to be to images, and unless they have popups installed, they won't know until the click on the links. I think it would be better to do it like List of West Midlands railway stations and have them down the right-hand side of the page. This would also allow people who are reading a printed version of the page to see the images. Which FA does it that way? Matthewedwards (talk • contribs • email) 20:05, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your thoughts. The expectation of wikilinks leading to articles is indeed the major disadvantage.  The FA in question, which admittedly only has this "image-wikilink" feature as a small part of its content (in the "Locations of Features" section), is Manchester Bolton & Bury Canal.  The problem with putting images down the side is that there will be too many to fit in the available space, although I suppose I could only put the most significant in and provide a link to the Commons category (which I haven't created yet!) for the rest.  I'll throw in a couple of other possibilities which have also occurred to me...

For anyone who watches this page
Some of you know that I became homeless a couple of weeks ago after the lease on our apartment ended. Obviously I had no internet access for most of the time, and even if I had managed to find it Wikipedia was the least of my worries. After spending 2 nights sleeping in the van we decided to go to Las Vegas which wasn't too bad. The hotel room was only $12 a night and it wasn't a crap one! :)

We have now found a new apartment and moved in on Saturday, but my contribs here will still be limited for a short while. We are using the neighbour's internet access wirelessly until they turn ours on and I'm using an old, crappy laptop to do so. I'll be around to keep an eye on my favourite watchlisted articles and FLC but that's it. If you need someone to do some admin work, there's plenty of others around. :) All questions related to FL and FLC should be directed to User:Scorpion0422.
