Foreign Language Tagging
Thanks for the info. I was a little unsure of how to proceed with that article (Josemanuel martinez), now I know. Cyrus Andiron 13:43, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes that definitely seemed overboard to me too. Imagine if baseball player Jesus Alou wanted to create an account? { —Wknight94 (talk) 21:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Lee Molyneux (footballer)
Thanks for you message on my talk page. I do agree with you - I'll give it some thought over the next few days before suggesting some ideas about who should be regarded and who shouldn't be a football of enough note to be included. All the best Gretnagod 22:44, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Reporting vandals
Though WP:VANDAL and WP:CUV supposedly covers this area, your subpage gives some helpful nutshells of advice. Most likely the content merits a good WP essay. However before creating such an essay my only suggestions would be to expand it and add to its content in what that section of WP:VANDAL or WP:CUV lacks. If you create a real well thought out essay about the process in way that will help walk newbies through catching, dealing, and reporting vandalism; it would be a very nice addition to the namespace. ¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 23:41, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Risparmi l'organizzazione del Amazon Rainforest‎
Hi tagged the above page for speedy deletion under A2. I must have made a mistake when tagging it. What I meant was, it appears on the english wikipedia in english, but this version is in a foreign language. Is there a seperate tag to use? R y a n P o s t l e t h w a i t e See the mess I've created or lets have banter 14:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The article is already in english and can be found at Save the Amazon Rainforest Organisation‎ so it can be deleted now. Thats why I wanted to have is speedied. Could you look into it for me? cheers R y a n P o s t l e t h w a i t e See the mess I've created or lets have banter 15:06, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

User:Whoaskedyou
Hi (again). I think you earlier blocked the above user for deleting our warning templates on his userpage and for personal attack pages. Well....... I think we have a sockpuppet! User:203.190.250.105 has just been editing user:whoaskedyou's talk page with very similar comments. Could you look into it for me?

Color Display
Thank you for answering my question about color display. I have a Macintosh Blueberry iMac with system 10.2.8. I already have a DigitalColor Meter but not the Color TagGen so if you could e-mail me that I would appreciate it (my e-mail address is ). My real question was how could I display a whole page of color bands like for example from the color bands in the Shades of Pink Color Comparison Chart I created for the Pink article. The first four color bands are displayed using the following code:   Pale Pink (Hex: #FADADD) (RGB: 250, 218, 221)  Pig Pink (Crayola) (Hex: #FDD7E4) (RGB: 253, 215, 228)  Pastel Pink (Hex: #FFD1DC) (RGB: 255, 209, 220)  PINK (web color) (Tamarisk) (Hex: #FFCBDB) (RGB: 255, 192, 203)  I assume these color bands are created using HTML code, is that correct? What kind of software can I download for free or purchase that would allow me to display color bands like this on blank pages on my own Macintosh computer and print them out in color on my printer without having to go through Wikipedia or the Netscape browser? I assume it would be some kind of web design software or could I also do it with Photoshop? Keraunos 20:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

As the sun sets
I would normally agree with you on this one, but I see that the original article was at As The Sun Sets(change in capitalization) which was deleted more than 4 times already, so I'm hesitant to recreate.  Canadian - Bacon  20:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The band possibly changed their Myspace page since than, in which case I'm not sure if it would count as a copyvio, or if it would even be confirmable in any way. In either case, you can feel free to undelete it if you think that the band satisfies notability. Cheers.  Canadian - Bacon  21:00, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks.. I generally try to draw the newcomers in, but it doesn't work out all the time unfortunately.. Many newcomers act rashly, I just hope he gets to know Wikipedia rules so that he can contribute more efficiently :) Cheers! Baristarim 21:47, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Foreign Language Articles
Hi Tony, sorry to bother you again but I was wondering if you could answer me a question. How do you tage an article for speedy deletion if its in a foreign language but doesn't appear on a foreign wikipedia? Is there anyway to tag it just because its in a foreign language? I added one as nonsense today and fair enough, it did get deleted, but I wasn't sure if it was the right thing to do Ryan Postlethwaite See the mess I've created or let's have banter 20:07, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

speedy deletes of leftover redirects
Hi Tony, I see that you helped me clean up some unnecessary redirects yesterday. I tagged the remainder of them today, but another admin removed the tags. Can you help delete the unused redirects anyway? They are Olympic medalists in ...table tennis, ...synchronized swimming, ...swimming (women), ...speed skating, ...softball, ...snowboarding, ...ski jumping. (Sorry, not wikilinked here as that makes them ineligible for deletion if they are not orphaned, as per another admin's comments!) Thanks, Andrwsc 22:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reply. No worries - I think it was just a single admin who thought those redirects were useful, with 4-5 other folks thinking they could be safely deleted, so I think the right result took place.  Thanks, Andrwsc 15:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

User:guitarpunk101
Tony, I admire your tolerance, although I am not certain that I share it. I would have blocked him - but you're the boss!--Anthony.bradbury 23:46, 11 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. I did tag several articles with db-band, which does actually give a reason on the delete template, and there were a couple of messages on the article talk-pages. But ok, let's see what happens. I would accept that no-one appears to have quoted WP:MUSIC, though I thought I had. But it would appear not.--Anthony.bradbury 00:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Onions Page
You have deleted the onions web page, heres a few references that may allow approval of the page, the weblinks are on the page itself, which i believe admins can access.

our booking agency has published several reveiws about performances, you can find them at gojangle.com

Sickanimation.com has posted reveiws on their music and cartoon board about us

The Local Newspaper, The Spokesman Has posted an informative review about who we are and what we do, although they do not have a website.

every venue that we have played has written a review or reccomendation for future reveiws, i belive Schubas.com posted it a while ago, but im not sure how long ago it was, so i'm not postive it is sitll up.

thank you--Ballsdeep123 00:18, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Goebbels
As far as I can determine, and as you will appreciate health records of Nazi leaders are rather thin on the ground, he suffered an attack of osteomyelits of the femur at the age of seven. In what was, as you know, a pre-antibiotic era, the only treatment was surgery, which left him with a a dystrophic femur and a fused distal epiphysis.

The talipes story appears to have been generated as anti-Nazi propaganda in the 1930s, I think by the German Communist Party, and was perpetuated by the Allies in their wartime propaganda.--Anthony.bradbury 00:19, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Unwashed socks, to add to that. I'm noting the accounts as I see them, and then I report them to WP:AIAV. I've even created a template for when I report them, and I'm looking for the link on the admin noticeboard where I posted a message about them.

heh, when i was living in spain, one of my favorite games was to play "figure out the yank/brit slang" with one of my brit friends. he usually one though, as he sees a lot more yank films than i do brit ones.

keskiviikkona 26.10.2005 klo 10:11 Motorola suurin yllätysnousija Nokia jyrää älypuhelimissa

NOKIA ROLLS IN SMARTPHONES

Nokian maailmanlaajuinen markkinaosuus älypuhelimissa nousee nousemistaan. Canalysin mukaan Nokian osuus on nyt jo yli 54 prosenttia, samalla kun älylaitteiden myynti nousee huimaa 75 prosentin vauhtia.

CANALYS IS SAYING THAT NOKIAS SHARE IS (Then) OVER 54% WHEN SALES ROSE 75% IN A YEAR.

Canalysin mukaan maailmassa myytiin vuoden kolmannella neljänneksellä hieman yli 13 miljoonaa älypuhelinta. Nokian osuus tästä oli yli 7 miljoonaa, kun vuotta aiemmin Nokia myi vastaavia laitteita alle 3 miljoonaa. Nokia on siis kasvanut tuplasti markkinoita nopeammin, ja sen markkinaosuus on noussut 39,7 prosentista hurjaan 54,8 prosenttiin.

CANALYS SAYS THAT SALES IN THIRD QUARTER WERE OVER 13 MILLION AND NOKIA SOLD 7 MILLION OF THEM, NOKIA HAS RISEN TWICE THE SPEED OF THE MARKET...

Canalysin mukaan Nokian vahvuus oli erityisesti 3g-puhelimissa, josta löytyy Series 60 -ohjelmisto. Näitä ovat esimerkiksi Nokia 6680, 6630, N90 ja N70, mutta myös vanhempi Nokia 6600 toi osansa erinomaiseen myyntiin. Huono uutinen Nokialle on sen sijaan se, että 70 prosenttia sen älypuhelimista myytiin emea-alueella, eli pääosin Euroopassa. Nokian asema ei ole läheskään yhtä vahva Kaukoidässä eikä varsinkaan Amerikoissa.
