First of all enough with the "threats". They are meaningless as I and anyone else have access to several computers and can edit on those. So enough with the messages.

Second; The Long Island University "edits", which you refer to as valdalism was deleted by me because they DO NOT BELONG on the page. I have been to (at least) 50 college and university wikipedia sites and NOT A SINGLE ONE has an "Arguments" section. WHY?? Because the "arguments" section is not based on fact but rather on a person(s) opinion and displays severe BIAS against the university. It is just a gruge by a person or people and it is opinion/heresay, etc. It has NOTHING to do with FACTS!! When I added some of my own "arguments" against NYIT, they were CONSTANTLY deleted, so I strongly feel that the Long Island University "arguments" should be permanently banned from the site. Let's be fair? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.189.35.249 (talk) 23:02, August 29, 2007 (UTC) ->

Template cleanup
A few templates you created, Template:Anr1, Template:Anr2, Template:Anr3, Template:Anr b, Template:Anr top,&#32;and Template:Arn3, have been marked for deletion as deprecated and orphaned templates. If, after 14 days, there have been no objections, the templates will be deleted. If you wish to object to their deletion, please list your objections here and feel free to remove the   tag from the templates. If you feel the deletions are appropriate, no further action is necessary. Thanks for your attention. --MZMcBride 00:46, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

User DeepBlueDiamond
Hi... I noticed your revert applied to User:DeepBlueDiamond.

The situation there is a bit complicated. He has been editing a user page that I set up specifically to try and communicate with him. The communication is difficult for various reasons; but his attempt to edit User:Duae Quartunciae/W. Kehler/Issues is not actually vandalism.

If I have serious problems maintaining the integrity of the page, I will call for assistance; but for the time being it is under control, mostly, and DeepBlueDiamond is welcome to edit as he thinks best. I will be monitoring and managing the page, which is in my user space.

Thanks for the help... but I think it is not needed in the subpages of User:Duae Quartunciae. Cheers &mdash;Duae Quartunciae (talk · cont)  15:34, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of ‎User:Azhuntingfishing
''Um, this is a user page, and really, (except for personal info) the respective user is allowed to put anything on it. Besides this does not look like spam anyway.''

As Wolfgang Pauli is supposed to have said about a bad theory, that's not right, that's not even wrong. CSD #G11 (prohibiting the creation -- and authorizing the speedy deletion -- of spam) covers ALL pages, not just articles, this policy sets limits on what can be put on a user page generally (meaning that no one is "allowed to put anything [they like] on it"), and this page was an especially abusive link farm. Besides, spam disguised as user pages is deleted all the time. This batch here is selected from the last few months. --Calton | Talk 15:43, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

User:Ian Dunster - insect picture gallery
''Come on, man, this is a redirect to a user sub page. It's not a nonexistent user.''

Oh for the love of God, it's a redirect because I -- me, myself, I -- moved the misnamed user subpage to its correct location. There is no such user as, period/full stop, meaning that, yes, it IS a nonexistent user. --Calton | Talk 15:58, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hello Panoptical. If you check out the information I removed, you will notice that none of it is attributed to external sources. Wikipedia policy dictates that this information must be removed. In future, please check your facts before accusing other users of vandalism. Thank you Wirela 19:06, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Unicode cuneiforms
I see that you have deleted some minor editing of mine at the unicode cuneiform page. The page mentioned several cuneiform glyphs and referenced them by u+xxxxx, which is not particularly reader-friendly (though failproof). Thus, I have added the characters in question. It's difficult for me to understand how you can call that "vandalism".

For example, I changed "the sign must be expressed as either IGI.NÍG (U+12146 U+1243C) or IGI.ERIM (U+12146 U+1209F)" to "the sign must be expressed as either IGI.NÍG (U+12146 U+1243C, &#x12146;&#x1243C;) or IGI.ERIM (U+12146 U+1209F, &#x12146;&#x1209F;)" which looks a lot more illustrative. I now realize that I could have done better using the unicode template, which would have given "the sign must be expressed as either IGI.NÍG (U+12146 U+1243C, &#x12146;&#x1243C;) or IGI.ERIM (U+12146 U+1209F, &#x12146;&#x1209F;)". The last version may perform better with not-so-smart browsers, but I fail to see why the second would constitute "vandalism".

So please tell me what I did wrong, or otherwise I'll reinstall my change. 89.247.237.154 22:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks...
Thank you for making a summary of proposals on Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Reform, and for trying to take the proposals to a next step. As you can see on that talk page, this caused people to tag the page as historical because they were afraid that a reform would suddenly be implemented without any consensus from the community. That page is only meant for discussion, and clearly there are few people participating. There's no point in trying to reach a next step now. Thank you again for doing that and for being bold, but I suggest that you remove your proposal and your poll. A.Z. 15:10, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Chi mcbride.jpg
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Chi mcbride.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page.

GA Sweeps invitation
Hello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you.

We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Speedy deletion nomination of Justin Branam


A tag has been placed on Justin Branam requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a band or musician, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
