RE: Zazzer RFA support
I think my vote on Zazzer's RFA is very clear but I will explain it to you in more detail. I have reviewed Zazzer's edits and have concluded that all are not vandalism. With Zazzer's 317 edits I also concluded that Zazzer is not likely to vandalize Wikipedia. Therefore Zazzer will probably not vandalize with sysop tools. He/She may make a couple mistakes but they can be fixed by the user them self when notified or by some other sysop. However, I believe that, based on Zazzer's 300 edits, Zazzer will make very, very few or no mistakes with sysop tools. This is just my opinion. Please do not keep it against me.--Natl1 (Talk Page) (Contribs) 20:55, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello. By any means I attempted to impersonate anybody, but rather to provide the oppinion of User:Messhermit (myself) in this problem in order to avoid controversies. 74.225.143.250 21:15, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Image name
I found an image file whose name is clearly inappropriate: Image:X1pN1mp8dKYgTEuwny8yVCfViyJfltpxX7EZhOCZwJbvqfOL9pYUhmxk qnYY9kNGzAuzfhNWTKr5WfZtD3jVkw18lRrCVYfsZ3yXCglBHJHg0r5VgIMibl6g.jpg. In addition, there's no copyright status information. I don't think it's possible to rename an image - so, should I notify the uploader so he/she can upload a copy of the image under a better name and list the original file for deletion? Or is there another course of action? Thanks! +A.Ou 01:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Link policy/spam VC lesson
how is this coming along? i'm eager to see it and to help. JoeSmack Talk 01:14, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * It's going very slowly at the moment. I'm just trying to work out what to write (WP:WPSPAM seems to have a pretty good intro to spam). Furthermore, to add to the complications, I'll be using dialup for a little while after about 12 hours - grrr. I'll try to finish it off and put it in a user subpage tomorrow - does that suit you? Yuser31415 01:19, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * By the way, how's yours doing? Perhaps we could merge the two, that would be faster. Yuser31415 01:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Most of my work towards righting a guide has been here, although it is a little old. You might also find this useful. I was actually planning to augmenting your work when you were developing it more than writing out a separate one, so a subpage would be fantastic. JoeSmack Talk 02:17, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

How is it spamming to add the name of the only international trade publication for private investigators?

new user email
Hi there - from reading the comments page here, looks like you have your hands full. I will make this short. I posted a link to a review site www.champion-reviews.com. I read in the user guide that reviews were welcome additions to content. What I didn't see is that site owners shouldn't post but let someone else decide. The article you linked for me said to post on Talk pages about the site so I am trying that here. The site has review content that exists nowhere else and is linked to off the www.ChampionCatalog.com site in their global footer.

Oh and sorry for being the newbie. Kkrake 03:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

yuser31415 thanks for the response...how can I make the edit better to have the reviews links stay live? If I post it again, unless you are the reviewer, I am guessing it will get axed again? Kkrake 19:33, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

thanks Yuser....appreciate the help on the link. I will definitely check out one of the projects. thanks! Kkrake 23:04, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

the Zodiac killer article
Did you actually read this article when you did the mediation? I ask because I just finished a major rewrite of it, and deleted about 50% for violations of WP:BLP. Really, people shouldn't be writing on Wikipedia that living people are accused of being an infamous serial killer without sources to back it up.

Charged of spamming?
Erm, sorry if I post in the wrong place, I'm not finding any other place to post this...

I don't know if you were talking to me, but I went on Wikipedia, it said I got a new message for my IP because I wasn't logged.

I read it... I'm charged of spamming?

Erh, believe me or not, but I have not spammed, nor have I posted anything on Wikipedia...

I remember that I have edited something somewhere once (maybe an incorrect sentence or word, that's all), but it wasn't an address, so again, I don't understand how I am supposed to have spammed...

I won't complain if you forbid me to contribute to Wikipedia (that I haven't have done except for that little editing once, 'cause I'm not skilled enough in something to do better than what has already been done), but I want to restore my good name, I insist : I never have spammed Wikipedia.

I got too much respect for the encyclopedia to do such a reprehensible act.

Sorry for the trouble, I just wanted to explain myself.

I'm no spammer, really, you can survey me if you want, you'll see, I will never do any harm to Wikipedia, it's too useful, I use it everyday. --The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.201.136.213 (talk) 19:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

Lesson 5 is posted. When can you have lesson 6 ready? Does the 14th work for you? That would give time for our proofreaders, etc.

How much of the lesson do you have completed? Could you move/paste it to User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/Yuser, on external links and link spam, so the rest of the VC team can help work on it?

Thanks for offering to provide a lesson, it will fit in nicely with the other subjects.

Re: Your post on my talk page
Hey. Yeah, I got your e-mail. I hope it works out.

That AfD is total nonsense by the way. I can't wait to see how it turns out.

I drunk far too much last night. But that's a good thing. The place I went had 4% volume drinks that didn't taste even remotely alcoholic... they were cheap too. Based on the amount of money in my wallet I've figured I drank 12 of those drinks. Ouch. I seriously don't remember having that many. --Deskana (talk)  10:27, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Virgil cannot stand hard-hitting criticism of his hero McLaren
You said regarding my posting of a link on the "Brian McLaren" page: "This is your last warning. The next time you insert a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia."

Virgil Vaduva lied to you, Yuser. I did not insert a "spam" link, or a "self-promoting deep-link," as Virgil said. I have repeatedly inserted a _legitimate_ link to my _well-sourced_ and _factual_ article critical of Brian McLaren. The article does not mention me or any "ministry" of mine. It is 100% about Brian McLaren. Here is the link:

http://www.preteristcosmos.com/mclaren.html

The _only_ problem is that Virgil Vaduva keeps removing the link, because Virgil practically worships Brian McLaren. I am not exaggerating. Virgil is EXTREMELY biased when it comes to his hero Brian McLaren and the "Emergent church." Virgil Vaduva demonizes all who tell the black-and-white truth about Brian McLaren.

Yuser, if you read my article I think you will agree that it is not spam. It is a 100% factual treatise on the "secret message" of Brian McLaren. Yuser, please write me back and let me know if I can post the link to my article on the Brian McLaren page. Please do not be swayed by Virgil Vaduva's inflammatory and untruthful complaints. Thank you --David Green   :)

Luton Airport
I have made a change and you have reverted it.

The article is of course about luton airport and the text near the top of the page is "It is one of London's six international airports, along with Heathrow, Gatwick, City, Stansted and Luton."

First of all, there are only 5 airports in that list and not 6.

Secondly, Luton should not be in that list as you cannot have 'Luton along with Luton' - it does not make sense.

Thirdly, as the first 3 London airports have just been mentioned in the sentence before it, repeating them is not required.

I am trying to make a valid correction and I am not a vandal, so please do not revert my next edit.

Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 84.13.41.18 (talk) 22:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC).

My edit was constructive and not vandalism. I do not know of a 6th London international airport, so I changed that sentence and tidyed the paragraph at the same time. It looks a lot better now, however if you know of the 6th airport then it can be added.

Considered for deletion for the second time
Hello, BitTorrent_index_comparison had a “keep” resolution tag put on it.

84.13.41.18
I'm concerned about the way you've labelled the edits from this IP as vandalism.

You reverted what were good faith and (mostly) correct edits to London Luton Airport as vandalism. As I have explained here the edits were not vandalism at all.

You then reverted more of his edits claiming they were vandalism, when in my opinion they were not.

This edit wasn't vandalism, as Portuguese National Republican Guard is actually a redirect to Portuguese Republican National Guard so all the IP editor did was bypass the redirect.

This edit wasn't vandalism, as all the IP editor did was sort the "in other languages" section alphabetically. I can't actually find a specific guideline to state this should be done, but if you look at Bobby Sands for example it makes sense to sort that section alphabetically. That edit cannot possibly be considered vandalism under the circumstances.

This edit isn't vandalism at all, if you read the version you've reverted to you'll see it's gramatically incorrect.

This edit was inserting a line break to improve the aesthetics of the page. I haven't trawled through the MOS to see if it's technically correct or not, but either way it isn't vandalism.

There were a couple of other edits that may have been a bit problematic and may have needed reverting (for example this one) but not one was vandalism in my opinion. Issuing a blatant vandal warning can't be justified under the circumstances, as not one edit can really be classed as vandalism. You yourself admitted on ANI that "I am not entirely sure whether this editor is contributing in good faith or not", which means he isn't a blatant vandal surely?

Multiple people suggested on your recent RfA that you need to calm down on being bold and take time to actually look at situations and use better judgement, I can only say the same. Thanks. <font face="Verdana"> One Night In Hackney 303 04:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree with One Night In Hackney's assessment of the situation here. What was it that made you think they were vandalism? Perhaps we're missing something, but it certainly seems you were in the wrong here. Don't be offended, constructive criticism is useful =] --Deskana (talk)  04:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Can I also point you in the direction of something Jkelly said - this is a person who is quick to point to rules without looking closely at the situation? At 22:12 the IP left a message on your talk page explaining the situation. At 22:13 you posted on ANI, which isn't that important but I'm just doing a full timeline. At 22:16 you posted on the IPs talk page pointing to rules. In my opinion if you'd looked at the message from the IP and looked at the article you'd have realised what the situation was, and that absolutely no citing of sources was needed. Obviously I've no way of knowing what you actually did, but the impression I'm getting is that you're ignoring the constructive criticism you've received, which is up to you but it won't put you in a good position for a future RfA as people will expect to see improvement. <font face="Verdana"> One Night In Hackney 303 10:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I seem to have overwritten your edits to the lead section of User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/Yuser, on fighting link spam. I will try to un-do the damage I caused. --Teratornis 22:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oops, check that. Actually the edits were by User:Sandstein. --Teratornis 22:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Response
Much thanks for the note and the advice. Articles for deletion/Wes Mendell is still outstanding, though, if you're of a mind. Obliged! &mdash; Whedonette (ping) 22:02, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it's done
Good job on the lesson!

I'm done with my main copy-edit of User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/Yuser, on fighting link spam. Please take a look, and touch-up anything that needs it. It goes live on Wednesday (tomorrow). <font color="#808">Th <font color="#00F">e Tr <font color="#490">ans <font color="#D92">hu <font color="#D40">man <font color="#B00">ist  22:12, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

WikiProject Strategy games
Hello.

WikiProject Strategy games has finished it's first collaboration: Risk (game). We are now asking for nominations and input for a new one. Please voice your ideas at the talk page.

Clyde (talk) and WikiProject Strategy games.

An AfD closure
Yuser, could you please recheck your closure of this AfD? As I see it, the consensus is that Players should be moved to Players (1997 TV series) and then be replaced by Players (disambiguation). You're right that the article should be kept, however most of the !voters disagree with the current title and demand for a move, so your decision actually goes against the consensus. It isn't a wise decision for a non-admin to make. If you want to keep this article the way it is, please give further explanation when closing. Thank you S. Miyano 04:15, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Never mind, I moved the page myself S. Miyano 06:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Closing the deletion discussion as keep does not preclude moving, redirecting and disambiguating the page. It simply means that the concensus was to not delete. —Doug Bell talk 05:57, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I know, but AfD isn't only the matter of "keep" or "delete". Many AfDs are closed as "redirected" or "moved/renamed" etc. Closing this debate as "keep" doesn't reflect the consensus accurately. I was slightly concerned because Yuser closed the AfD (no further comment given) and then left the article the way it was while four out the five keep !votes demand that the article be renamed. I did not object to the "keep" closure, merely stated that wasn't the best action to take. S. Miyano 06:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your point about the consensus—it's a point worth noting for Yuser in the future. My point was simply that you may be bold and implement the consensus. —Doug Bell talk 07:34, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Good point, I'll keep mind of it. Thanks Miyano :). Yuser31415 19:35, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

AfDs
I've reverted several AfDs you closed (as you're well aware your RfA was a failure), generally it is OK for users to close AfDs if there is clear-cut consensus; there is not on these AfDs, some did not even receive any keeps or deletes and thus should have been re-listed, please be more careful in the future. --Matthew
 * Yuser this isn't good at all. You completely went against consensus on most if not all of those AfDs. I encourage you to work on other areas if you're not capable of closing only the very obvious consensus ones. Did you not learn anything from your RfA about performing admin actions when you're not an admin?  Majorly  (o rly?) 14:58, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Your own actions, Yuser, serve as a reply to the message you left on my talk page. In less than a week since your last Rfa, I have already been able to build a list for your next. Your abuse of the anon IP who was doing no harm pales before this. Jeffpw 15:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you might consider discussing rather than reverting, and I would calmly appreciate it if you ceased to stalk everything I do. In all the AfDs, there was a clear-cut reason even if not clear-cut consensus. The nominator herself stated that "... given the existence of ...", indicating that another article performed the same function as those whose AfDs I closed. And as to my RfA being a failure, I see no relevance to the topic of the discussion and request that you cease ad hominem attacks. As to Majorly's comment "Did you not learn anything from your RfA about performing admin actions when you're not an admin?", closing AfDs is not an administrative action; the only step which requires administrative access is the actual deletion. Thank you all. Yuser31415 19:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Candidly I'd request you be civil towards a fellow Wikipedian who left a stern but civil message on your talk page. I'm honestly unsure as to why you believe I'd stalk you, frankly it's a little upsetting to be attacked as such. Wikipedia works on consensus, when there is no clear consensus we look to the special users we elected to voluntarily perform duties at the behest of Wikipedia's consensus. Please accept my apologies if I've offended you in anyway. Have a good day/night :-)! Matthew 20:08, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I do not believe I was being uncivil, terse perhaps, but not uncivil. Admins are not "special" users, just ordinary members of the community who are entrusted with a higher level of technical access. I've got to go now, but have a good day/night (it's "day" for me). Cheers! Yuser31415 20:11, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No one is stalking you, your AfD closings happened to be noticed. And just from what you wrote above, did you just read the nominator's reasoning, or the actual discussion? Also, have a read of this carefully. Non-admins may only close decisions which are unambiguous "keep" decisions, or other variations of "keep" such as unambiguous "merge and redirect". You closed AfDs that weren't ambiguous either way. And non-admins cannot close any AfD which has no clear-cut consensus. I know you're trying to help, but please be careful next time. Thanks.  Majorly  (o rly?) 20:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support on my Request for Administration

Please comment on a discussion on the WikiProject Spam talk page
Hi Yuser,

I saw your article on spam, and I noticed that in it you had some very wise (oh, so wise) comments on assuming good faith. I'm currently trying to get the WikiProject Spam group to amend its project page to reflect Wikipedia standards on assuming good faith. Currently, I believe parts of the page promote incivility. Please take a look at the discussion. I think you could make a difference (link below). Thanks.

Hello
Hi, Yuser, not seen you around for a bit. I hope that last RfA didn't scare you off... that was very disappointing, I was sure you'd get it. Sorry about that. Anyway, I so happened to stumble across a user you'd been interacting with, User:NapalmRiot and then noticed you'd warned him about not contributing. Thanks! I'm cracking down on that recently. Anyway, I hope all is well with you. --Deskana (ya rly)  20:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for you welcome. I really enjoy wikipedia, and I admit to researching material that many people would not have the patient to do, but yearn for the knowledge.
