MissWikiGirl
You just blocked MissWikiGirl for a week for spamming, after one warning ( . This seems a little harsh; the links were added in good faith, and I was emailed after the warning with a polite query about why the links were considered spam. I forgot to do this, for some reason: 80.189.237.91 05:51, 30 October 2006 (UTC)


 * Sure looked liked spam to me, so I'm not sure why the quick unblock, you might also like to look at the edit history of 66.245.23.115 - to see more spam --ArmadilloFromHell 07:07, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Well, it may look like spam because I was adding links in one sitting, but it wasn't meant to be that way. I took the quote from the main page "the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit" literally, not realizing that if you add a lot of links that it might be viewed as spam and be frowned upon. I appreciate being unblocked since I did not receive advance warning and did not realize I was doing anything that might be considered malicious. I just wanted to point people to free images that related to topic articles. I saw others doing it and thought it was okay. My apologies. (Sorry, but I don't know how to sign this correctly.)

Calton, Glasgow
Thank you for pointing out the copyright issue, I assume the text I transferred into the page was ok since it was cut and pasted from an existing Wiki page "Calton" and I had no reason therefore to doubt it legitmacy. GoldenMeadows 11:36, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

TetraSoft
Why do the admins keep deleting the article entitled TetraSoft? This company is very significant, at least in the North Georgia area, and has even been featured/recognized on a national level many times.

Consider this article:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delicious_monster

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE? It's short, to the point, and is about a company in a similar field. Why don't you delete it too?

At first, I suggested Mr. Davis create the article about his company, and it was deleted. Then I (Sheila Rae) created the article, and once again it's been deleted. Your guidelines and policies are unfair. I'm a journalist and work for a very large national news publication. I will most certainly publicize Wikipedia's actions in this matter. Your administrators are rude, careless, and abuse the "power" they have been given.

If you insist on not allowing the article "TetraSoft", but keep the article "Delicious Monster", I expect a FULL EXPLANATION as to why. If you do not respond, someone from the agency I represent will most certainly contact Wikipedia's administration as part of the story we are preparing. Perhaps someone with more authority than yourself (or the previous people who have deleted this article), would be in a position to better explain your organization's actions.

Hello. Could you please explain me the reason of not deleting e.g. Stade Malherbe de Caen redirect and reverting me like a vandal with the [ rollback ] button? Thanks, -- odder (T.W.K.) 16:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Cornered Rat Software
Hello, I was one of the contributors of the Cornered Rat Software page that you removed on Nov 10th. I'm wondering if you would be able to provide a reason for the deletion and recommendations on how the second attempt could be more successful. Thanks DocVM 11:12, 12 November 2006 (AST)

Hi Doc, Target here. Warbirds got deleted too. Same guy. Note said "lack of notability". I guess we think too highly of our genre! LOL

The only thing I can think of is for all of us to start one page about massively multi-player 3-D combat games. Find people that worked on AW to pitch in, along with all the old ICI guys. Doesn't appear that Ubisoft has a problem being on Wiki. Guess if the editors see you on a shelf at Walmart, you're suddenly notable.

Meta T Pilot Project Page
The META-T Pilot Project page was deleted without any warning at all and without indication of why it was deleted. We understand why the Iridium Pilot Project was deleted and will find another home for that, but the Meta-T page was well populated with information and linked to legitimate documentation on the topic. Could you please re-instate it (or do we have to log an entry at Deletion_review?) and give advice on how to improve it? The discussion page was being used by contributors and we have no record of what has occurred now that it has dissappeared.Hjviola 08:46, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Can you please recreate the article and discussion page, long enough for retrieval of the information contained? Thank you Hjviola 12:33, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I have a few questions about the deletion of the flare magmus page
1. Did you read the discusion page on it? 2a. If yes, did you even bother to give me a chance? 3. Did you read about my self implimented time limit? 2b.If no, why not? 4. Why did the page get deleted, exactly?

I am trying to get these stories that I have made out to the public. There are so many movies that are just remakes I just can't help but create these stories, as the world is in grave need of good stories.

If it is possible, please put the page back up. I said i would continue working on it until it was finished, and i want to be able to follow through on that.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for bringing thins to my attention. I did not relize such was true.

I could not find history showing Cherie (actress) went through Afd but I can see the 3 deletions which is why I tagged it as a repost. Maybe I am missing something though.-- Dakota 16:29, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Deleted article "Stripy"
You deleted an article Stripy at 09:52, 19 November 2006 for the reason "(Web cartoon, no claim of notability)". Stripy is is not a web cartoon. I've seen it, and on an official web page you will see that, though short and low in count of episodes, they are not for download. Look it up on IMDb, and you will see it is a regular movie.

Besides, I don't see why should the article be deleted even if it is "just" about a web cartoon. In that hipothetical case, it could be merged with some other article.

Fantasy Wargaming and the Influence of J.R.R. Tolkien
I would just like to make it clear that this article is no longer copyrighted. The company that held the copyright went out of business in 1974, shortly after the article was printed; and it is not listed as having had its copyright renewed. As a result, the copyright expired in 2002, as per the 28 year convention. Your comment referring to a template is not clear. Please clarify. Generalklagg 09:32, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Articles must have their copyrights renewed every 28 years under United States law. As the article was written in 1974, it had to have its renewal done by 2002. As it was not, it is in the public domain. What you're looking at is a database that is searchable for titles prior to 1964. As this is a post-1964 article the proper database to use is the U.S. Copyright Office's LOCIS database, which covers articles written after 1964. The LOCIS database does not go prior to 1964, which is why Rutgers University made the other database. The fact that the Rutgers database only goes to 1964 has no bearing on the copyright status of this article. The Rutgers database is not a template, it is just one of two databases available (pre 1964 and post 1964). Generalklagg 02:40, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

George W Bush
Thanks for your comments on my correction of this article. I have responded on my own Talk page, to keep things in one place. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Pol098#.5B.5BGeorge_W._Bush.5D.5D Essentially, the error I corrected is, as you point out, widespread throughout Wikipedia, and needs discussion in general, not in association with a particular article. Best wishes, Pol098 10:59, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Review
You recently deleted the articlei posted Dan Saenz. There was no explanation for the deletion of any sort and i specifically asked for comments/ concerns regarding the articles. I have referenced numerous similar articles and the ones that i have posted are very similar is format and style. I do not understand why they are not acceptable. I can't make changes if I don't know what the problem is. Please help!!! I have read all the logs and have made all the changes accordingly. I have posted a (hangon) with questions with how to improve the article, but people feel the need to unfairly delete the page with no explanation other than the original comments, which have already been fixed. Most of the points are no longer valid, nor have any relevence to wikipedia's guidelines. If you could be more specific as far as what is actually wrong with the page, that would be helpful. I don't really understand how some articles get approved when they are simply two lines of text with no other actually information. for ex. System Recordings How is this acceptable but my article about Dan Saenz & Jetset Music Group is unacceptable.Please help INT001 20:33, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Your revert to Grendel
Can you have another look at your revert on Grendel. You restored the Joel Han section which had been removed by an IP user. However, the text the user removed looks like nonsense to me and doesn't seem to have anything to do with the subject of the article. The Joel Han section was added earlier today by a newly registered user who has done nothing other than add this section. -- Mark S  (talk) 09:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Abraham Lincoln and Greco-roman wrestling?
Yes, that sounds fishy to me too. I've only ever heard of him and cricket - I suggest there might be a possibility that wrestling was added to "mock" the cricket reference. I say remove the wrestling until he comes up with a reference. Mattabat 09:26, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Deleted entry: Konstandinos Koukidis
Hi Mike,

First of all, I appreciate your effort to keep wikipedia accurate and objective. Now, to the point: Concerning my recent entry Konstandinos Koukidis and it's subsequent deletion, foreign (non-english) names are liable to transliteration inconsistencies between native languages and english. You can find references to the sublect of my article using the following google search:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&as_qdr=all&q=Koukidis+flag+acropolis&btnG=Search

If these do not satisfy wikipedia standards I accept your action.

Portal:Transylvania
You were quite right to unspeedy this; I was going through Category:Contested candidates for speedy deletion and re-tagging articles where the original author has removed the db tag and left only a hangon, and this was one of those. On closer examination, the article shouldn't have been speedied in the first place - how should I handle this in the future? Should I still put a drmspeedy template on the user's talk page? Or just remove the hangon tag and be done with it? Perel 22:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Ilan Pappé
Please explain why you reverted my edit to Ilan Pappé. Thanks Abu ali 21:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Do you think that your edited version is more neutral? And don't you think that "criticism" section crosses the line of villification? Abu ali 21:29, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The issue _has_ been discussed on the talk page. Have you read it? Abu ali 21:38, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Two particular editors have rejected my arguments. And these particular editors have both been banned for various periods for their aggressive POV pushing and edit waring. Your edit to the article has removed all explanatin of Pappé's ideas and reinstated a virtriolic attack on the individual. Well done! Abu ali 21:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the fire-drill
Sorry for the fire-drill, Mike, but I was rather concerned that your account might have been hacked, since creating WoW accounts was so out of character with your normal behavior, and WoW (or one of his many impersonators) happened to be online at the time. I'm glad there's a rationale for those particular accounts being created, since it makes your recent behavior comprehensible. I'm glad you're still you. -- The Anome

Please help me protect my userpage
Hi Mike, First of all, thank you for protecting my userpage once. My userpage is subject to recent attacks of vandalism with nasty comments after my site The Freethinker became popular recently, as it attacks illogical religious sentiments. It has enraged some Hindu groups after I published videos in the site last week exposing the cheating of a legendary Hindu guru/godman, Sai Baba. His followers are taking their share of revenge by scandalizing my userpage, filling it up with dirty comments. They are doing so without signing in.

Can you possibly help me protect my page, or do something to stop this user who is doing so? Pl visit my userpage & the history of the page (recent one week) to see their activities. Thanks you.--Pinaki ghosh 02:43, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Mike. I seem to have gotten myself into trouble again by trying to move the page Analytic/Anglophone and Continental Philosophy to Analytic and Continental Philosophy. The former is an AfD. I thought I could do this to help make clear that the issue in the AfD is with the article title, not the content per se. But the page history of the former has been blanked out! I'm very sorry.

Analytic and Continental
Hello Mike,

the page you put for speedy deletion Schism between Analytic and Continental philosophy is no tthe same article as the one deleted. It is the beginning of an attempt to re-write the article. It is open for anyone to edit it and does not mention of Anglophone which the previous delete request objected to. As to the image it is a free one.

--Lucas 16:48, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Analytic/Anglophone and Continental Philosophy. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Lucas 17:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

The contents were very different, except for the uncontested history part. Any other part is inevitably going to have some similarity but nothing that an editor could not fix and nothing mentioned on the deletion page. Also one of the editors explicitly sought favours from others to delete it and harangued others to revert their votes if they voted for keep.

I never did any "mobbing," and just left it for open discussion of those involved.

The "Schism" title is not a partisan title as you suggest, the problem with the previous title was that it had the word "Anglophone" in it. People only objected to the title, as they said, because it  had "Anglophone" in it. I removed this word from it. Also lots of other articles link to this article and now arrive at a blank.

No one in philosophy denies that there are Analytic and Continental philosophy. And the reference from a world renowned philosopher occurred in the first paragraph talking of the schism occurring in 40s and 50s. But it was deleted before I could even save the extra work dont there, is it possible to retieve this just so I can have it?

thanks, --Lucas 17:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Block log
Hi. I was reviewing my block log for fun and noticed that you gave me an indefinite block back on October 24th. This displeases me, because (as silly as it sounds) I like to appear to have a "clean record." Also, your unblock comments are rather vague ("This version may be a legitimate account") and do not explicitly acknowledge that you made a dreadful mistake.

I realize, at this point, you will likely not remember why you blocked me several months ago, so I will not bother to ask. What I would like to know, however, is whether it is not considered good ettiquette to inform a user whether he or she has been blocked, even if you unblock the user a short time later.

Thanks for reincluding the ifd- I had included it but it was vandalised from the page by user smith2006. He also vandalised the 2 other ifd images. Left 3 warnings on his talkpage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.29.229.116 (talk) 12:34, 13 February 2007 (UTC).


 * I've discovered 12-14 other images uploaded by smith2006 or suspected sock 'GeneralPatton'. All but 2 are Frentz/Ullstein images. All are incorrectly attributed, dated, and given a misleading rationale or tag. I suspect this is deliberate. 2 of the images were deliberately lied about. Both were take from the same site- axis101.bizland.com - but with 1 listed as PD and the other as self created. On checking with the owner of the site, he didnt give permission and is the sole creator.


 * I do not want to go through the entire process of notifying this guy (he ignores the notifications and requests to update rationale/attribution), and then listing each image as a copyright violation or FairUse infringement etc. Its clear to me that he doesnt give a damn what hes uploading and assuming good faith is a fools errand in this case. Can you tell me whether wikipedia has a legal department or some other body that can deal with this persons activities more quickly? The only other alternative is to notify Ullstein Bild and let their legal dept figure it out with wiki. 82.29.229.116 17:01, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I believe all the Frentz image uploaded by smith2006/GeneralPatton infringe Ullstein Bild's copyright. All are mistagged, incorrectly attributed and basically bogus to mask the rights of the copyright holder. In all Frentz image where feely availble image of the object exist then a FairUse rationale cannot be used. You identified Blondi as a single case where no PD German gov image or other suitable image might exist, I am looking into that. In all other article where Frentz image is used there is either a free image of object already in there or a FairUse rationale on another copyright image in the article. I left word here since listing 13 images (so far identified) as copyright infingements is not sensible when its obvious the uploader is just being silly. 82.29.229.116 18:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
