Image:ARRERNTE.JPG
Sorry, but I do not understand why you've nominated this image for speedy deletion -- Reason given was: "Per CSD I2 - image is corrupt/empty". I created it, put it in Wikimedia (the first image I've put there) and linked it back to relevant pages, notably the completely relevant HMAS Arunta (FFH 151). (Okay, a more relevant image could be found for Tally (cap).) I could see the image when it was uploaded; I've used suitable copyright tags; there was relevant commentary in the description page, that I have since expanded; the image is not 'blank' or 'corrupt'; I can still see it; and, it had a relevant description when used. Comments, please, or a detailed explanation of what I ought to do to have this matter resolved. - Peter Ellis - Talk 01:21, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Philip Gustafson userpage
Uh, Pilotguy? I was posting the text of a deleted article to the author's userspace, per his request, as explained in the edit summary. Any reason you dropped a test2 on me? NawlinWiki 03:00, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Might want to check your NPWatcher script
It made this edit which removed a perfectly good commons image. Megapixie 02:19, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Just an error on my part, not on it. //  Pilotguy hold short  20:18, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Close Deletion Vote
Hey, Can you close this deletion request 1. It has no new votes for 2 days and is a clear consensus. Thanks - Mike Beckham 03:05, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Which deletion request? //  Pilotguy hold short  20:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Philip's Wiki Page
As nawlinwiki said above, she posted that page at my request. It had been deleted. And i was trying to review it so that i could review and possibly contest the deletion on the wikipedia deletion review page. Please restore it as i need it to back and verify my points.

Thanks in advanced for your cooperation,

Philip Walter Gustafson 14:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

(PS: I would appreciate if you and your group of fixer uppers would in the future please allow me to do my own page management as i am quite computer literate, savvy, and comptent. Thanks for trying to help though.)

Protection
Hey, that last talk page you protected seems to have a typo that I'm not sure how to fix (not bein an admin - I've never used it before, sorry). Just in case you want to take a look: User talk:65.94.156.187 daniel folsom  21:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok this is kinda unorthodox - but would you mind taking a look at this guy - i've been browsing the recent changes and he keeps doing vandalism to one page. Thanks! daniel folsom  21:35, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Typo on my part for the first one which was fixed and the second one has been blocked. - Pilotguy hold short  22:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Shane Ruttle Martinez
I would like to bring to your attention the following pages: Shane Ruttle Martinez, Marxist Candidate Page, Paul Fromm, and Paul Fromm (neo-Nazi). The same users are at each page putting forth the same unsourced information that is very POV. They also edit out any sourced negative information. The users I speak of are user:Frank Pais, user:AnnieHall, user:Black as pitch, user:Paul Fromm (blocked, I believe), and the new account user:CmrdMariategui. I do not have enough information to go to the sock puppet page to warrant an investigation, and I only came onto the pages based on the BLP claims. It seems that they have a strange understanding of BLP and POV that only positive information (especially unsourced positive information) is the only thing allowed on a page, and that sources with vague connection to the line they claim to be references for are allowed to "prove" notability of the figure mentioned. It is very strange and seems to be a great problem. For information connecting the people as being sockpuppets or possibly a group that uses numbers to avoid the Three R Rule, see the histories of the pages I cited above or my user page to see where a newly created name said I was "wrong" about a page and reverted where I removed blatantly wrong sources that didn't actually match the lines which they were included on. SanchiTachi 01:08, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, notice that the same people question the use of the "Toronto Sun" as being credible when it describes their person in the negative, but use the same paper to describe their opposition in the negative here Paul Fromm (neo-Nazi) at reference 1. Also, the fact that they throw around "neo-nazi" and "racist" without having proof is definately against the terms of BLP. SanchiTachi 01:12, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see the recent conflict of issues with admin Jossi. Thank you. SanchiTachi 02:24, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

On Borrowed Time
I see you reverted an anonymous editors changes to On Borrowed Time. I agree that his "sentimental tear-jerker as well as a magical, philosophical and well-acted story" statement is rather POV, and his spoiler warning is crude, but he did a pretty good job of expanding on the plot. Do you not agree? --rogerd 02:54, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello, Rogerd. I re-registered under a new user name (forgot my original one) so I'm no longer anonymous. And in my second attempt to expand the stub I tried to fix the objections you raised. I still don't know what other objections PilotGuy had, and don't see why someone would delete an entire edit instead of just editing out the objectionable parts. I was ignorant of the POV policy, at least where it comes to art, since I see so much of it here, plus I had just watched the movie again after many years and was still caught up in it, so wanted to expand on the summary. Thanks for the hints on my editing, as well as the compliment. I'm a writer and editor by profession, and I always appreciate feedback.Wlegro (William)

I'd like to know if this text was taken from another website or if it's entirely original research because neither's really appropriate. I would at least like to see it all in a plot section (which is what you have appeared to do to most of them). It could be better written, especially to make it more encyclopedic. Take a look at related articles to get an idea of what I'm talking about. - Pilotguy hold short  16:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I have moved this conversation to Talk:On Borrowed Time --rogerd 18:07, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Bad heading of this page
The heading of this talk page looks like a mess with overlapping letters and repeated "User talk:Pilotguy" in my browser (IE 7.0 with medium text size). Is there a good reason for the initial source line "{{User:1ne/Title|User talk:Pilotguy- Welcome, please sign ... " ? The problem disappears when I preview without the line. PrimeHunter 16:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Removed. :) - Pilotguy hold short  16:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Your 3RR block of User:Geni
I am conducting the unblock review on your 24-hour block of Geni for a 3RR violation on What Wikipedia is not. Geni's has requested unblock claiming that he only made three edits to the article today and this appears to be well-taken. While of course edit-warring can be blockable even absent a technical 3RR violation, this is not the basis you gave for the block and it does appear that Geni was engaged in talkpage discussion as reflected in his edit summaries. Could you please comment on this block at User talk:Geni. Thanks, Newyorkbrad 01:13, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Image talk deletion
I noticed that you deleted Image:Normal thanksmeg17.jpg without deleting its talk page. I tagged it db-talk, but thought you should be aware, in case it's not the only time it happened, or if it's a bug in NPWatcher. Ingrid 01:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Is there a new sockmaster I should look out for?
Noticed you indef'd ... he a sock of someone I should be on the lookout for? Blueboy96 20:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC) (CVU member)

Nope. - Pilotguy hold short  21:38, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Who was it? Was wondering because it seems we've had a lot of sock attacks lately ... is there a full moon out or something?Blueboy96 22:33, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

FYI. A downside of NPWatcher, when you remove an image with it the speedy-image-c (if there) still stays. See and a bunch of other edits. Garion96 (talk) 12:41, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I see you deleted this image for the lack of a fair use rationale. I am not the uploader, but I am fairly certain I added a fair use rationale at some point. Perhaps someone deleted it. Would you please undelete and check the history, and let me know if I'm wrong? I'd appreciate it. Thanks! --Butseriouslyfolks 17:49, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Image deletion
Just a short note to ask you to be careful when deleting images with non-free use deletion tags; make sure it is true the image has not a rationale. Namely, I refer to Image:2006 WWC field hockey.jpg. Thanks, and good wiking, --Mariano (t/c) 13:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Your comment on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/FURG
I read your comment here but I didn't see what you were responding to. Could you explain? Thanks! TomTheHand 14:13, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't directed at you, just a general comment. - Pilotguy hold short  16:08, 8 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I understand, but I still don't know what you were commenting on. I was thinking you might have misunderstood the situation and thought people were complaining that images were getting deleted inappropriately all the time.  The discussion is about a specific incident, wherein Naconkantari deleted thousands of images inappropriately and is only restoring the ones that people specifically bring to his attention.

Disappearance of the Universe
You seem to have deleted the Gary Renard book page. Gary Renard is an annoying idiot, but he is a notable annoying idiot. Deletion was discussed, and rejected. Your unilateral removal is not kosher, and you should undo the damage. Gene Ward Smith 04:10, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm following this up from WP:VPA. I agree (although there obviously wasn't an AFD for this article; this one was a speedy). The deleted article contained this Publisher's Weekly article that indicates his book was number 2 on amazon.com.--Chaser - T 05:31, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

Election notice: Your endorsement
Hi! You have endorsed one of the candidates in the current board elections. However, you have not provided a link from your local project (this one) to your user page on Meta, so we have no way of confirming that you are the same person. Please provide a link to Meta from your user page or user talk page to Meta, then reinstate your endorsement, which I struck and indented. If you like to have your user page in a certain way, you can do it in a diff, like this, but then you have to provide the link to the diff for us. Thank you for your cooperation!

Brookside Adolescent Psychiatric Unit
Hallo Pilotguy

You contributed comments to my first try at creating an entry for Brookside Adolescent Psychiatric Unit in March this year. The entry was deleted as possibly blatant advertising. I have now re-written it as far as I can along lines similar to entries that are accepted, but I am completely defeated by the system [being very unfamiliar with it yet]. I cannot figure out how to re-submit my draft and would be very grateful if you could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks Philipch 11:04, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
