Please be carful
I suggest you look at wp:hound becuase you are tracking and commenting on to much of my editing, i will be forced to report you if this continues. DoDo Bird Brain (talk) 02:42, 2 September 2011 (UTC)
 * See reply at your talk page, and feel free to report me. Mt  king  (edits)  02:44, 2 September 2011 (UTC)

Opinion
Don't you think this is just a POV forking? After we all agreed with your proposal to alphabetically order the cities at Global city, this RfC was opened. I believe you should give your thoughts.  Alex Covarrubias  ( Talk? )  15:11, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Windsor logo resizing
Why the logo size reduction? The infobox automatically reduces it to 200x200. Just curious. SGMD1 Talk/Contribs 02:02, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Felt that given the size of the article the seal was a overpowering at that size. Mt  king  (edits)  02:06, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Is there a WP policy that dictates specifications for infobox image resizing? The default size looks fine to me. The 175px version leaves empty space on the left and right sides of the infobox. SGMD1 Talk/Contribs 23:51, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I have no idea, just found the full size logo overpowering on that page. Mt  king  (edits)  23:54, 9 September 2011 (UTC)
 * You can change your own default thumbnail size in your user preferences if you find it overpowering. That way it will appear smaller to you, but remain at the default infobox size for everyone else. SGMD1 Talk/Contribs 00:06, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

IP editing Southern Adventist University
From the previous set of ipsocks, I would guess that the current IP editing SAU is yet another ipsock of User:BelloWello. (One of those previous socks was in the same range and was blocked for a week.) Although the talk page is still semiprotected, the article is now unprotected: the IP started editing almost as soon as semiprotection was lifted. Perhaps the article needs to be semiprotected for a longer period. Mathsci (talk) 03:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Agree with your concussion, will ask for semi at the talk page of the last admin to lock it down. Mt  king  (edits)  04:24, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

Total Nonstop Action Wrestling
The reason I put the edit summary as vandalism is due to an editors repeated removal of the same information. I had previously had the page protected due to the same vandalism, but one the protection was removed, the user is still removing the same information from the page. I will try to be more specific in my edit summary reason next time. Housewatcher (talk) 04:30, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * What is the edit summary I should use then? The user keeps repeatedly removing information from the article?  Please respond with some guidance.

Housewatcher (talk) 04:38, 10 September 2011 (UTC)


 * But it isn't undiscussed. There is a whole section on the talk page regarding the removal of this information. Housewatcher (talk) 04:42, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

80.42.236.111
Please self-revert your reverts of and it would also be great if you could apologise for the warnings as well. These edits are definitely not vandalism. They are removing redirects from talk pages to the article page following my moves of those articles into article space. This IP is one of the most constructive and useful new contributors I have seen in my time on the project (they have also edited as ). Jenks24 (talk) 09:43, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I seem to have left this note just as you went offline, so this is just to let you know that I will be undoing your reverts of 80.42.236.111, as they were constructive edits. Jenks24 (talk) 10:00, 10 September 2011 (UTC)#
 * Sorry about that one, I have left a message at the IP talk page, and thank you for reverting. Mt  king  (edits)  10:53, 10 September 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. I see how you could have come to your original conclusion (sorry if I was a bit terse in my above comments) and thanks for the note you left on the IP's talk. Cheers, Jenks24 (talk) 10:56, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

file:2011-09-13 The shark and the litte fish.png
thumb|The shark and the litte fish Hi! You have been very fast taking the file from the article. I neither can read Hebrew nor am I a native English speaker. It is up to people knowing both language to mention the work and the role of that work in the article.

http://www.worldcat.org/title/kesheha-karish-veha-dag-nifgeshu-la-rishonah/oclc/262691647 was the only reference I could find some months ago, later at my birthday a friend translated the Hebrew article to me. We finaly got a copy of the book. Was all work in vain? Regards ‫·‏לערי ריינהארט‏·‏T‏·‏m‏:‏Th‏·‏T‏·‏email me‏·‏‬ 10:07, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Otley Cricket Club
I PRODed it, it's been dePRODed - what do you think? Worth AfDing it? AssociateAffiliate (talk) 14:05, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
 * At first glance, not sure, this looks like coverage, I don't think think that it is significant as the Telegraph and Argus looks like a local paper so would fail WP:CLUB - I will look for more stuff later. Mt  king  (edits)  21:23, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Canvassing
Given that I have only notified those pages that were notified for the last poll I doubt if any right-minded person would see it like that. If you feel I've done something wrong then please feel free to take it to ANI. Fmph (talk) 22:17, 18 September 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Buffalo City FC
Following your further representations I have relisted this debate. Bridgeplayer (talk) 10:37, 19 September 2011 (UTC)

Accellion, Inc.
FYI, I've reverted Accellion, Inc. to the version where the author blanked the page and tagged it with CSD G7. Inks.LWC (talk)
 * Thanks, not sure it can be now given the new editor, it is going to be deleted just under what. Mt  king  (edits)  04:02, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, the new editor deleted your tag, but I have a suspicion the new editor is the old editor, just doing it under a different name to avoid the conflict of interest. Inks.LWC (talk) 04:08, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I would put money on it. Mt  king  (edits)  04:09, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

No drive by tagging
Please refer to the AfD discussions for the articles that I tagged for rescue. I overlooked the matter of commenting and/or voting prior to rescue tagging on some posts in error. This is now not occurring at this time, and rescue tags are only being posted after comments and/or votes at AfD discussions. Thank you. Northamerica1000 (talk) 12:04, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Per your message I received again
Per your message I received again. I overlooked the matter of commenting and/or voting prior to rescue tagging on some articles in error. This is now not occurring at this time, and rescue tags are only being posted after comments and/or votes at AfD discussions. Now only articles that I have commented upon or voted upon in AfD are being tagged for rescue, when I feel it is appropriate to do so. This is in accordance with Wikipedia policies. Thank you. Northamerica1000 (talk) 12:08, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Reasonable rescue tagging
I tag articles that are likely to actually meet Wikipedia guidelines for topic notability. I read this essay Tagging pages for problems, which is an essay, and not a guideline, yet provides some valuable information. Per this essay, "When adding a tag, keep in mind that other people who might be interested in fixing the problem (or who might dispute the tag) might not immediately see the same problems you do. Even if the problem seems obvious, it's useful to leave a short note on the talk page describing the issue, and suggesting an approach to fixing it if you know how. Some editors feel this should be mandatory and "drive-by" tagging should be prohibited. Other editors feel that some tags are self-explanatory." Again, this is an essay, and not policy. Oftentimes tags are self-explanatory. However, in following with the spirit of the rescue tag template, it seems reasonable to also comment and/or vote in AfD for articles, although this is not specifically listed in any Wikipedia policies. Another problem is that the template for articles being considered for deletion does not provide options for users to search for reliable sources, while the rescue template does provide these options for users. Perhaps the article being considered for deletion tag should be revised to reflect the source search options present in the rescue template. Northamerica1000 (talk) 12:17, 20 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Comment - It's not a Wikipedia policy per se to provide a rationale for every rescue tag, as some editors feel that tags are self-explanatory. Thank you. Northamerica1000 (talk) 12:25, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Previous editing
Mtking - by any chance have you edited Wikipedia under a different name in the past? --HighKing (talk) 13:50, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Not a different name, but without an account, I only created the account when it was pointed out my edits linked me to my employer via my IP address. Mt  king  (edits)  21:19, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Aggie War Hymn
Was written in WWI and is, therefore, in the public domain; it isn't a copyvio. Perhaps the lyrics should simply be collapsed? Buffs (talk) 15:10, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * WP:NOTLYRICS is quite clear the Quotations from an out-of-copyright song should be kept to a reasonable length so the wholesale reproduction is not good. Mt  king  (edits)  21:19, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah. I see your point. Looks like we need to collapse it down and link to wikisource for the rest...uh...how do I do that? Buffs (talk) 22:28, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Collapsed down to the basics. Not exactly sure how to Wikilink to Wikisource though. I guess "For entire lyrics and footnotes, see Wikisource" or something like that. Buffs (talk) 22:31, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * My thinking is that the key in the policy is Quotations, I see that as meaning quotes in prose and 'not just a dump of the lyrics. In other words if you need to quote a line or two in the midst of text it is fine but not a section on just of the words. Mt  king  (edits)  22:51, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Paul Polansky
Hello Mtking,

I've been in contact with Moonriddengirl and she advised me to contact you regarding an issue I'm having. I was wondering if you can help me out in the removal of the neutrality tag on Paul Polansky's page? I've read the page thoroughly and it appears that there's no biased opinion and all citations are cited through external links and not his personal website. I've been trying to do this for a few weeks now but I'm learning slowly how to use the interface here. Thank you again for your help and I really do appreciate it.

Puregoldxxxx (talk) 11:55, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I am sorry, I still feel that it reads closer to a promotional media-release than a encyclopaedic article. For example the phrase "about their persecution from the Holocaust to their current, desperate situation in Kosovo". So at this time I think it should remain. Mt  king  (edits)  11:44, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

My talk page
Hello. Do you mind if I change your post on my talk page from saying "WP:3RR" to "three revert rule"? I know it's minor but I just don't like the abbrev. on my page and it was requested that I ask you first. Thanks,  TRLIJC19   (  talk  ) 20:54, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you Mtking for your reply, I can remove that phrase, and please can you tell me what else needs to be changed? I appreciate your reply. Puregoldxxxx (talk) 22:39, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Your view
I've AfDed the short lived Kenyan franchise teams that played domestic cricket there in 2008, only played nine matches each before going the same way as the rest of Kenyan cricket. What's your view on them? AfD here. AssociateAffiliate (talk) 20:57, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I had seen them, and they are on my to-do-list, bust first look seems to indicate they fall short of WP:GNG. Mt  king <sup style="color:gold;"> (edits)  20:26, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
