Happy New Year
Dear Neurolysis, I just wanted to wish you and your family a happy new year, however you're celebrating it. Whether 2008 was a good year for you, or if it wasn't the greatest year, hopefully 2009 will be better. Cheers, and happy editing in 2009 :-),

ANI
ANI is a noticeboard for incidents that require administrative action, the thread you are "helping others draw conclusions on" is a joke, and result of a banned user trolling and just trying to be disruptive. His complaint was over me (and 5 or 6 other editors) undoing the material he had been trying to add for days which he was citing with blogs and youtube videos. I deleted his comments from my talk page because he was trolling, this user has a pattern and that is what he always does. What conclusion are you helping others draw exactly? Have you noticed you are the only person commenting on my actions on that thread in a negative manner? I did absolutely nothing that requires administrative action. Again, ANI is strictly for incidents that require administrative action, and should not be cluttered up with irrelevant comments by users with an axe to grind. I am allowed to remove whatever the hell I want from my talk page as long as it isn't a block template while I'm blocked, etc. There is nothing to discuss regarding my removing comments from my talk page. Doing so does not violate any policy or guideline, and therefore the matter requires no administrative action. Remember ANI='s Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Landon1980 (talk) 21:05, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Neurolysis simply stated that you have a history of such behaviour. That was completely relevant to the discussion. He didn't insult you or do anything else. He didn't say removing constructive comments blindly from any talk page is perhaps the most uncooperative and destructive thing a user can do on a collaborative website, which I would now like to add. How else can you collaborate, if not through talk pages? It's completely against the spirit of a wiki.--<font face="verdana"; font size="2"; font color="green">Patton <font face="verdana"; font size="2"; font color="green">t /<font face="verdana"; font size="2"; font color="green">c 21:23, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No it was not relevant to the discussion, the thread was about me and several other editors removing edits from a banned user that were sourced with blogs and youtube videos. USEDfan stalks my contribs and edits where I edit. Regarding the past incident he is referring to I responded every time he left a comment on his talk page. The entire thread on me is a joke and was started by a banned user that tortures me everywhere I go online. I'll try explaining this again: ANI is for matters that require administrative action. I have violated no policy or guideline, therefore my removing comments from my talk page does not require admin intervention. The thread was not even about my removing things from my talk page. Landon1980 (talk) 21:32, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * In this case the threads may not have been constructive, I do not know, however something makes me doubt Neurolysis would make trolly posts to your talk page. Because this thread also concerns you removing threads from your talk page, Neuolysis's mention of your previous behaviour is perfectly relevant.--<font face="verdana"; font size="2"; font color="green">Patton <font face="verdana"; font size="2"; font color="green">t /<font face="verdana"; font size="2"; font color="green">c 21:48, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Could you link me to the thread that is about my removing comments from my talk page? All I can find is where a banned user mentioned it in a thread he started pertaining to something else. Do you not understand that users are allowed to remove comments from their talk page? There is one thread about a banned user with his new account edit warring with multiple people, and a bogus thread created by the banned user while he was trolling my contribs. If you want to start a thread about me removing comments from my talk page by all means do it. USEDfan was making the same exact comments he always does, this has happened over two dozen times now and of course I'm going to revert them. What do you do when banned users troll your talk page, myspace, facebook, etc. and make comments harassing you? What was I supposed to say? Landon1980 (talk) 22:09, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hi, thanks for pointing me to the images page but I still can't get my head round the basics, like where the uploaded images actually ARE right now and so on. I may be being dense, or maybe I've just spent too many hours editing in the last three days :)Astral highway (talk) 17:37, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

My response
Youn know, instead of just slapping on a useless tag, maybe you should consider mentioning on the talk page why you believe the images are inappropriate.

Homerpalooza.png - illustrates a key plot point and key moment of the episode, Homer getting shot with a cannon. Both of these are mentioned in the plot section.

Simpsons Sonic Youth.jpg - Probably the most expendable of the four, but it shows the designs of four guest stars, again discussed in the article.

Rover Hendrix.png - The Rover Hendrix joke - again discussed in the article - has been mentioned by the shows producers and by several critics as one of the worst jokes in the history of the show. Appropriately, some may wonder what it looks like, so there is an image.

Simpsons No Doubt.png - The members of No Doubt were animated into the episode by one of the animators. This is very much an "easter egg" and not easy to see, so the image does help aid in the commentary.

Why and where
I was posting there simply because the post was on AN/I. Users who are not administrators can archive threads or close threads on AN/I when it's clear there is nothing more going on. When a very long thread is on AN/I, and it is no longer serving it's purpose, archiving can make the board easier to navigate. --KP Botany (talk) 22:51, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Replied. <font face="Trebuchet MS">&mdash; <font color="#5A3696">neuro <font color="#5A3696">(talk) 23:30, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You, happy new year to you to. It's for issues that require administrator intervention.  But, once that aspect is over and done with, and a thread is taking up a lot of space, it's convenient to archive it until the bot gets around, so I disagree with you.  However, what the heck.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, we would like to remind you not to attack other editors. Please comment on the contributions and not the contributors. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. ''I've reverted your edits to the talk page.

Feel free to revise your edits, to communicate your point without inappropriate language. Poor behavior on the part of one editor does not justify poor behavior on the part of another.'' Thesoxlost (talk) 16:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

lol, what an awful notice. Didn't mean to imply that you were a newbie. Just wanted to point out that poor behavior on the part of other editors doesn't justify a nasty edit on your part. Let's not let this escalate any more. Thanks, --Thesoxlost (talk) 16:50, 6 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Perhaps I'm being over-sensitive, but I was trying to put a conflict to bed without any more hostilities on either side. I (optimistically) think it worked. You told Spotfixer to be quiet, and I don't know what a "trolling" edit is besides an edit made by a troll. :) If it is not an explicit personal attack, it is an implicit one. But that aside, I don't think your post would have served any purpose except to elicit an angry response. Anyhow, my post here was meant to be friendly and not offensive, as you mentioned here.  I hope you don't take it that way. I'll happily assume good faith and move on. Happy New Year to you as well! --Thesoxlost (talk) 19:54, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

PROD
I tend to find that with very new articles, there is always an author determined to keep the article, who will de-PROD it, so you always end up at AfD anyway. As a result, I rarely PROD new articles. If it aint a speedy, it is going to need an AfD anyway (IMHO) Mayalld (talk) 22:19, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

request for help
Neuro, may I ask for your help? The AN/I discussion concerning "bias" on Andrew Vachss has been archived without a resolution. I wasn't the one who filed the incident report, but I would like very much to have a decision. My reason is that I want to remove the "bias" banner ("This article or section may represent a biased viewpoint inconsistent with Wikipedia's neutral policy...") The banner says the dispute should be resolved before it can be removed. It was placed on Andrew Vachss when Plh25.0/65.110.137.227 opened the AN/I report. Could you review and resolve the situation? Thanks very much for your help, and have a wonderful New Year! Golemarch (talk) 21:21, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Replied. <font face="Trebuchet MS">&mdash; <font color="#5A3696">neuro <font color="#5A3696">(talk) 21:57, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your assistance. Personally, I do not consider the matter resolved. In fact, I don't even consider it to have been discussed. And I think Golemarch's actions show just how interested or uninterested he is in actually discussing it. Andrew Vachss is a popular writer who holds some very controversial opinions and then advocates legislation and other actions based on those opinions. I'm amazed anyone disputes this. On the other hand, I need to familiarize myself with wikipedia a bit more. And, by the way, sorry for the confusion. I thought you, "Neuro," asked if I were you. I am, for the record, not you. Since I was clearly being badgered by someone engaging in wikilawyering and didn't understand the question, I answered truthfully. I did, for the record, make the edits alleged to have been made by me, but was not aware I was violating any policies (and still am not convinced I violated any policies, in fact, it appears to me that Golemarch has violated the spirit if not the wording of several policies and is much too emotionally involved with the subject of Andrew Vachss to be impartial, but will research the matter further before proceeding. All the best and thanks again. Plh25.0 (talk) 18:29, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

The DICK banner
The reason for removing the DICK banner is because DICK is such a horrible "policy" that it should be deleted outright, not promoted anywhere. If you'll notice, it's already been chased clear off Wikipedia, and so it now resides on Meta, where it's slightly more immune from deletion. The fundamental problem with "Don't be a dick", and even its original creator admits to this now, is that it is often used in an argument as an excuse for calling someone else a name. Instead of saying "Please be nice", which is a reasonable non-inflammatory thing to say, people will say "Don't be a dick", which is pretty much just an insult hiding under the guise of a wikilink to a pseudo-policy page. This page expounds more on the issue.

Also, having an ad bar rapidly saying "Don't be a XXXXX" where XXXXX is a dozen different euphemisms for penis is just stupid, and causes terrible confusion with random readers uninformed on Wikipedia culture stumbling across any of the hundreds of places where the template is used. The templates advertising WikiProjects at least serve a purpose, this one doesn't. Hence the removal. -- Cyde Weys 01:02, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

hello
I hope you can keep a look at that page, and see if as I leave, these people who have provided so much hate on Wikipedia come in to throw stones. Icsunonove (talk) 20:50, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the note, and I understand. It is a bit difficult to do though under such attack, especially when people such as PhJ and Gryffindor try to use this as an excuse to bash someone.  I'm already disappointed in myself for coming back to respond and play in the mud with such people.  I've gone through a lot of grief because I was at the front of pushing for balanced multilingual content in these articles.  These German/Austrian based users got real twisted over that. :(  I still feel vindicated though because the fighting on the discussion pages went all but down to zero.  Anyway, sorry for the babbling.  I'd just hope some people can keep an eye on the admin noticeboard.  Because I really don't want to go in and defend myself anymore against such people.   My regards, Icsunonove (talk) 21:35, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Of course, I'm curious if you also read what these people like PhJ and Noclador say about me. Do they get a warning about keeping cool? =)  See, how it makes me feel when I was editing a page under good faith, then get bashed by these German-centric users, and then no one actually goes and warns them severely against this behavior.  It is indeed what makes Wikipedia a lousy place to work.  :( Icsunonove (talk) 21:42, 17 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok. Anyway, I've already convinced myself not to edit articles on here ever again, now I need to just get away from even addressing those people like Gryffindor, PhJ.  Also, sorry stranger, for taking your ear. :)  There are indeed more important things in life than to waddle in the mud with people such as these, especially on the bloody internet. :)  I should focus on more important things.  As a Humanist though, I really feel most sad to see such people I've encountered on here such as those that come to attack me now.  But then again, the world is what it.  Regards, Icsunonove (talk)

LOL   You'll also want to see how his colleague has started to do the same thing now on Province of Bolzano-Bozen.  Like clockwork, they will start another edit war, and then spend hours upon hours making accusations (of italianization, fascism, neo rome, mussolini) towards whoever next they piss off on the admin noticeboards.  Don't know what to say, except this is why I said from the beginning that admins needed to look at what they did over that bridge, how they came to lambast me through abuse of the noticeboards, etc.  Is that really correct?  It is downright harassment, and they are happy to chase away anyone who wants balance in the articles.  I could of reported them first I guess, I could of mentioned the nonsensical reverts.  I just don't have so much time on my hands as they apparently do.  Laughable in the end, I guess... Icsunonove (talk) 22:21, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Noclador, you deserve a month-long block for the aggravated slander of calling people italianizer/fascist/mussolini/etc. and for repeated blind reverts of good faith edits. I make an instructional comparison of how what you said is equivalent to accusations of germanization and hitler, and then you call that a personal attack?  It is incredible behavior noclador, it really blows my mind.  I think you'd do well to go on your own sabbatical.   You do know that everyone can see now that you and Gun Powder Ma instigated this farce; it is in the edit history.  Multiple editors have now debunked your claims.  Is that why you don't want me to speak, to not point out your behavior?  If I make mention of your name, or any rebuttal of your "truth", it is a personal attack, right?

Non admin closure of Articles for deletion/Phone Call to Putin (2nd nomination)
Hi Neuro Chris, thanks very much for your ongoing contribution to the project. With regard to non-admin closures please familiarize yourself with Non-admin closure. While that page is an essay, it is intended as a supplement to Deletion process. Non-admin closure should only be done in cases where there is an unambiguous Keep or Redirect or Merge. In the above deletion discussion, this was not the case as the discussion was closed before its full listing period. Pocopocopocopoco (talk) 04:17, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey! Given Deletion_review, could you please re-open Articles_for_deletion/Phone_Call_to_Putin_(2nd_nomination)? I think there are enough editors calling for this at DRV that it would save everyone lots of time.

(the above post is taken from from the archive)

No consensus
I am not sure how Neurolysis fits into this but as the above post was made January 20, 2009 saying the "following should be inserted into PD/CC etc license tags before the section at the end" I will respond to it. I have seen no public discussion and see no consensuses for the changes made on January 20 to numerous templates by adding the CommonsEncouraged tag. We now have incorrectly licensed images not only being tagged with "Images from works of this type are candidates to be copied to the Wikimedia Commons using the Transwiki process" but also being added to Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons. Please consider reverting all of these changes until there has been a community discussion on this change. As this seems to have been been done by Denelson83 and Sfan00 IMG I have posted messages on their pages as well. Thank you. Soundvisions1 (talk) 16:17, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * If the images are incorrectly licensed, change the license, rather than moaning about licenses which ARE commons compatible saying so.

You can also use |commons= This image is not compatible with Commons on any images which are in dispute.

Which specfic examples are of concern? Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:15, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * There was no consensus to make the site wide change you made. More on your talk page and keeping discussion on your talk page. Thanks. Soundvisions1 (talk) 16:27, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * From what I could tell from what SF00 told me, there was consensus. Mostly to save strain on the job queue, I will leave the template until SF00 tells me that I assumed wrongly, and that no such consensus exists (or if he fails to respond in a reasonable timeframe). I am merely the proxy making the change, and I trusted and trust Denelson83, so I felt I didn't need to ask (since he is an admin, he obviously knows about the nature of consensus and the requirement of it). If I was wrong in believing that consensus had been achieved, I will revert all changes made. — neuro(talk) 16:31, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Semmingly WP:BEBOLD, No longer applies on enwiki - Revert all changes back to the pre mtci state. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 16:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Where was this discussion? Not being sarcastic but I see no mention on any of the template talk pages nor have I found a centralized discussion. I see SF00 asked you to make the changes and I see that Denelson83 made the changes to the locked templates but I see no discussion about doing it anywhere. (Note: Above reply may answer the question - "be bold" may mean there was never discussion) Soundvisions1 (talk) 16:43, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

NOTE: I did find User talk:Denelson83 poste don Janury 20, 2009, that I had missed. However the only comment is from today, January 22, made by user:multichill, who points out "Unfortunately this will overflow Category:Copy to Wikimedia Commons. Not all of these images can be copied to Commons right away, the images first need to be checked for proper author and source." Basically echoing my thoughts.

Requests for adminship/Hereford
RFAs should just be closed per NOTNOW/SNOW if the candidate has very very little experience (and edit count), for example: Requests for adminship/Neckername. However in Hereford's case that does clearly not apply. Please have a look at this and this and please be more careful in the future. Also, please remember that the main point of NOTNOW is to help users who are not aware of the withdraw process. Given the candidate's experience on Wikipedia he should be allowed to decide himself whether his RfA should be withdrwan.

Your apology
Thank you for your apology, although I dispute your claim that your comments were aimed at what I said "What I expect is for people to not be hateful and malicious, and to show some common decency by not being completely and utterly insolant" seems to be aimed at the person. I intended the comment in a light hearted way and feel that your response was far more insulting than the way I phrased my oppose. I have apologised on Peter's talkpage and he has been very understanding, no doubt one of the reasons he is so popular. I accept that the way I phrased my oppose was ill considered, but I think a well considered response would have illustrated the point a lot better than two "angry" responses.

 * Well besides the (forumish snow and cold weather stuff), not bad. I've been getting into a little recent changes and vandal reverts lately.  I'd be interested in Huggle, but would need rollback for that.  I still don't completely agree with the wording on the WP:V policy, and the way it says that "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth..." I know it goes on to clarify the statement, but first time readers might have a problem, thinking that we don't want "truth" here.  I know that truth can be relative and all, but it just seems there could be a better way to word that.  I voted on my first RfA (in favor of PeterSymonds).  Have found that some RFC's aren't really serious, but rather just a forum to start a wiki-drama.  So all in all, I'm learning.  I guess really I shouldn't have dropped the first message, (kind of forumish) - but just wanted to say hey - and I don't do IRC much.

Hey Neuro, I am curious as to why editing wikipedia is considered vandalism? I did not remove entire sections on the exercise physiology page like you (are you also littlehow?) did.

Vandalism help needed
Hi Neuro,

I am new to handling vandalism. The problem is on the exercise physiology article. An individual is changing the page and removing comment from the current version of the talk page. Just a few minutes ago my comments explaining why I removed this individuals changes was deleted. I had cut a section that this individual inserted as a simple cut and paste. On returning to it after a break I googled it and found it is from another website and could potentially be violating copyright. This page has a long history of problems. It seems most people give up. The procedures of handling vandalism are unfamiliar to me. I would appreciate help--or at least being directed to someone that can aid. --LittleHow (talk) 19:58, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Watermarks in images
I assume that the problem isn't the gallery page itself (I don't need that, and have blanked it), but rather the images that the gallery page linked to. Regarding those, I have (a) no idea why there would be watermarks (presumably either something that the Snagit screen capture software automatically inserted, when I took the initial screenshots (why?), or that O'Reilly Media staff added when they prepared the screenshots for the book; and (b) no idea which images do and don't have watermarks.

Could you help me with (b)? If, for example, the problem is with greyscale images, that's a lot easier to deal with than if the problem is color images.

Thanks! -- John Broughton (♫♫) 22:24, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Ah, good - the example you pointed out is greyscale. Those were intended to be replaced sooner or later; looks like it may be sooner.  A list would be appreciated; hopefully you can compile that in some automated format.


 * To answer your question - yes, I have the source images, but in tiff format, not png. And there is also the issue of properly sizing them, since they are framed, not thumbnailed (so if I do convert them to png format, that may not suffice - or perhaps it will.


 * But (to repeat myself) if only greyscale images are problematical, then the best solution may be to speed up their replacement by color images, as opposed to trying to replace them with non-watermarked images. (On the other hand, O'Reilly may have a non-watermarked set easily available ... ) -- John Broughton  (♫♫) 23:43, 29 January 2009 (UTC)


 * You're welcome. And I appreciate your help on the watermark problem.  Regarding my uploading images, I'd like to hold off until I've got a better sense of the scope of the problem; then I can lay out what I see as possible solutions, and then we can do what seems to be best.  -- John Broughton  (♫♫) 00:23, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
