I was just looking at the same edit myself and wandering if I should revert it. I decided not to after reading the article talk page which shows the editors have previously cleared out a large clutter of images and asked people not to add more without discussion. On that basis I am going to assume that you did not read the talk page and revert you - sorry.  Sp in ni ng  Spark  17:30, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

I see you have commented on Dmcm2008, I think this user may be a problem. They seem to be engaged in an expand Liverpool POV edit session.--Kitchen Knife (talk) 21:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You'll have to be more precise please. Polly (Parrot ) 21:45, 2 February 2008 (UTC)


 * They seem to want to add references to Liverpool to all areas around Liverpool, removing refernces to Local government status and replacing them with suburb of Liverpool. For instance Maghull is a town in it's own right, before that it was a village. It may well be considered a suburb but that doesn't stop it being a town. It is considered by HMG to be a town, aintree and melling they has done the same to.--Kitchen Knife (talk) 21:50, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Information to the user talk, just in response to Kitchen knife talk I have spoken with Kitchen knife and has suggested I need to slow down. I must qualify that I am not seeking to rewrite Government references but merely link in association with Liverpool. For example Maghull is a suburb of Liverpool regardless it being a small town in its own right. I have already said i am quite new to this and i do not know the rights and wrongs but I am learning so pls do not class me as a problem user :-( I am not. I conside some ammendments are appropriate for example in the postcode for Fazakerley it had L9. I know factually it is also L10 so I added this. I expect i will be under scrutiny but I don't intend to cause problems, in fact i am happy with feedback, but I dont intend to give up either. Dmcm2008 (talk) 11:18, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I assumed your edits were made in good faith, I'm sure you and other interested editors can come to an agreement on this matter. Polly (Parrot ) 18:30, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

hello
i was just wondering. are people here friendly? or are you guys always serious. i am new to this. i dont want to be intimidated! Gotcheese 2008 (talk) 01:54, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * There's all sorts on Wikipedia, from the very serious types, to the very silly. Just try clicking on some random user pages and you'll soon see. Here's one to start you off User:LaraLove, it's one of the most looked at user pages. Polly  (Parrot ) 01:58, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcome messages
Hi there; I notice that you are sending out a large number of welcome messages to new users. Could I ask you to consider a couple of points?

Firstly, you are yourself still a very inexperienced editor, with almost all of your contributions being made this month - indeed, this week - and they being essentially all just welcome messages. As part of the welcome message which you are posting invites new users to seek your advice if they have problesms, are you confident that your experience is sufficient to enable you to give this advice if requested?

Secondly, a number of the editors whom you have welcomes have submitted unacceptable user names, which have been or a currently being blocked. It seems to me to be both inappropriate and incongruous for an editor to welcome a user, and an admin such as myself to almost instantly impose an indefinite block on the user in question. May I suggest that you spend some time on WP:UAA, and the associated policy page? Happy wikying. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 12:45, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Username appropriateness is extremely subjective, If I think a username violates policy I report it, if not I don't. Looking at a couple of the usernames you blocked recently I'd have to say they seem extremely harsh decisions, maybe you should lighten up a bit. Polly (Parrot ) 01:28, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Just like to echo Anthony.bradbury's comments, and encourage you not to welcome editors in a bot-like fashion (or using a bot if you are). Just the other day, you started welcome people at 19:51, 4 February 2008 and didn't stop until 03:32, 5 February 2008; that's nearly 8 hours. I find it hard to believe you sat at your computer welcoming editors for 8 hours, without taking a break. - auburn pilot  talk  03:16, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * All done by hand, no bot involved. Surely one of the main points of WP:Friendly is to welcome new users and to give them a helpful template to aid their Wikipedia understanding? Polly (<font style="color:purple">Parrot ) 03:19, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've never used Friendly, so I couldn't say what its main points are, but you may be interested in reading Bots/Frequently denied bots and PEREN. While all your edits may be done by hand, they are "bot-like" and I believe both links apply. - <font color="#0000cd">auburn <font color="#EF6521">pilot  talk  03:38, 7 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Respectfully I must disagree with your opinion. I don't see how my welcoming new users can be considered bot-like. I really don't go that fast. <font style="color:green">Polly (<font style="color:purple">Parrot ) 12:58, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Dear Polly, I am extremely new at this so you can take this with a grain of salt if you wish, but I agree that you may want to slow down a bit on the Friendly welcomes. I think it is great that you want to welcome and encourage those of us who are new editors. However, I notice that you recently sent a nice big welcome to an new editor who logged in and made 1 addition: an external link to a commercial website soliciting business related to the article. His Edit summary says "Added link to free help line." It is essentailly an ad for a bond broker. While I do not want to chase this person away I think it may be a better use of our time to discuss article content with him/her instead of sending large welcomes. Thank you --95McCartney (talk) 05:45, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Surely what better way for a new user to find out about Wikipedia policies than a useful template with all the relevant links. Hopefully the template will aid them in the future. <font style="color:green">Polly (<font style="color:purple">Parrot ) 12:58, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Notice of temporary injunction
Hi Polly, I noticed you added a notability tag to an article about a television episode, and I am letting you know that there is currently a temporary injunction that applies to all editors while this arbitration case is open. The injunction was enacted on February 3, 2008 and it reads:

"For the duration of this case, no editor shall redirect or delete any currently existing article regarding a television series episode or character; nor un-redirect or un-delete any currently redirected or deleted article on such a topic, nor apply or remove a tag related to notability to such an article. Administrators are authorized to revert such changes on sight, and to block any editors that persist in making them after being warned of this injunction."

The arbitration committee would like all editors to hold off on such actions while the case is open. I will also notify you when the injunction ends. Thank you. --Pixelface (talk) 10:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Welcomes
Your apology is, of course, accepted. Welcoming new users is a significantly positive activity, and I would not dream of criticising the principle. It is, as you obviously now appreciate, important not to welcome some categories of user; as I say, you are clearly now aware of this fact. Welcoming, vandal-reverting and username-notifying are vital parts of the project, and I hope that you will keep on doing this. I would suggest that you try to keep your activity in wiki well-rounded, by making article edits, joining projects, taking part in WP:AfD discussions, and so forth. But all seems well, and I suspect that with a little more time you may even come to feel that my username blocks are not so unreasonable!!

Your right about that. It might be my opinion but I think there should be information about that matter. It is undeniable that she is stealing money from a man that has given so much. Not talking about the negative is misinformation. Maybe we shouldn't put it like that: "the greatest gold digger" but what about putting inthe headline: "H. Mills has been severely criticized for her divorce with McCartney" or something of the sort. I find it relevant as it has become the most expensive divorce of all times.

Rollback
I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe I can trust you to use rollback correctly by using it for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see New admin school/Rollback and Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck.

Speedy deletion of PROLIX
Hi, I've found a "Speedy deletion of PROLIX" message on the article I've written. I'm the writer/owner/admin of all contents of the PROLIX official website so there is no copyright problem, I'm the person who wrote all contents so there is no say it in your own words issue. I'm the PROLIX Dissemination Manager and you can find my profile on Linkedin. From December 2007 I'm managing all dissemination activities in order to improve the PROLIX project visibility. The PROLIX consortium is informed on all my activities about the project dissemination. How should I solve this problem? Many thanks Regards

Copying verbatim though probably isn't a good idea as the text may well not be in an appropriate tone for an encyclopedic entry. Far better to do it afresh, though as you are the owner of the website you wish to write an article about this causes conflict of interest issues. <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 11:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

The "Counter-Strike: Condition Zero" search
All I did was add important info to the search after realizing not to make mistakes. This is what I wrote:

"MULTIPLAYER:

Multiplayer is a huge entertainment in the game. Millions over the world compete with each other to gain their skills. In multiplayer, there are clans in which test your skills, they display them and prove to others that you are part of a difficulty in the game. Many clans have wars proving which one is greater with certain maps and rules like Deathmatch and Last Player Standing.

Something new taken into the game in creative maps like fy_simpsons and fy_mario. It shows that people are able to create their own maps and let players have fun with them. Also, people put other downloads on their servers like advanced weapons and attacks from the World of Warcraft game."

How is this considered vandalism??????????????????? I gave more info about it since I play this game. I think it should be added to give readers a better idea of the game. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.234.83.47 (talk) 20:31, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

 * To avoid Speedy deletion some assertion of the Society's importance or significance needs to be made. To establish notability then significant coverage of the Society in reliable secondary sources would be required. Has there been any media coverage of the Society that you could use to establish notability? Have any books been published that reference the Society?

Interact-TV images
Hi Polly, I created the images you marked for possible copyright violation. I uploaded them in the interests of the company for which I work in the process of creating an article about that company's product.

 * In order to be sure that you are the copyright holder of this corporate logo I believe you'd need to contact the Wikipedia Foundation via WP:OTRS and email them some kind of evidence of this. Alternatively you could switch the current license on the image page to a generic logo one and add a fair use rationale and that would suffice.

Thanks for your message and for bringing the situation to my attention. The image is now accompanied with an appropriate explanation and links to the article that it is used in (which was just submitted).

 * Excellent, that should ensure its survival, at least until the fairuse criteria is altered yet again (Shock, Horror!!!) <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 00:17, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to move this to your userpage

Chausie Page
The original information is incorrect and not factual. It needs to be properly updated with the correct history anf information pertaing tp the breed and not to breeds that are not Chausies. There are large portions and the pictures are not representative of the breed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jinipenda (talk • contribs) 09:19, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You might like to explain your reasoning on the article's talk page in order to clarify the matter. As totally rewritting an artice without explanation tends to be contentious. <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 13:40, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Don't be a stranger
Hi Polly, can you please help me and tell me why my Don't be a stranger information keeps on getting rejected, I have removed the external link.

Do I need to create a new page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Coajt (talk • contribs) 14:49, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are trying to turn an existing article into one about your Facebook group. You'd need to start a new artice, but does your Facebook group meet the Notability guidelines. If not then it will most likely be deleted. <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 14:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

GSBA_logo1.jpg
Hello Polly, I've updated the fair use rationale for this image. Is it satisfactory now? I see the "no-fair use rationale" tag is still present. I wanted to clear my updates with you prior to removing that tag. Please let me know.

Thanks, Financial-Foodie —Preceding unsigned comment added by Financial-Foodie (talk • contribs) 20:01, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I've added a more detailed rationale and removed the no fairuse tag. <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 21:06, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Block of User:Fredwestthelast
On the one hand, the block may be what set him off. On the other, immediately after the block, he made another harassing comment (see the edit history). I'm going to say that you're right in this case, and a block, even if technically pre-emptive, is going to prevent more misbehavior from that user. Good call to request the block. —C.Fred (talk) 01:38, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If it had been the normal kind of user page vandalism of blanking or swearing then I wouldn't have reported them at that stage. But as the vandalism was so very offensive I thought it warranted reporting. Hopefully that short block you gave will have a positive effect, and they'll come back to make useful contributions. <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 01:45, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Violation of our good faith

Allegory of the cave deletion
I'm trying to figure out if you're deleting the smiley face image or the entire picture of the image of the allegory of the cave? Why not revert the vandalism and keep the previous image?--Richiar (talk) 16:49, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The original image is safe and not up for deletion, just the uploaded vandalised version. <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 16:55, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Image problem
can you help me with this editing of my page, i want to link image to the text, thanks in advance —Preceding unsigned comment added by JohnLisy (talk • contribs) 19:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * First you need to add a license to your image, is it self made? <b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 19:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Removing an account
Is there a way to delete my Wikipedia account? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eronara (talk • contribs) 22:31, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Since you haven't created a User page then all there is to delete would be the talk page. Talk pages are seldom deleted in case they are needed for future reference.<b style="color:green;">Polly</b> (<b style="color:red;">Parrot</b>) 22:36, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
