Your recent delete nominations
As your nomination rationales are so unconvincing that they are all unanimous keeps, and as most of the articles were started by one editor, you're giving the impression of WP:WIKIHOUNDING, for which an editor can be blocked. Please make sure that you don't continue editing in such a manner. Thanks. Fences &amp;  Windows  22:29, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, please stop. Do not disrupt Wikipedia to illustrate a point. I have closed many of your nominations as "speedy keep." -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 23:32, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

SimCity 4 image uploads
Hello,

Unfortunately I have had to delete your SimCity 4 image uploads as they were technically copyright violations and Wikipedia has to take copyright very seriously. While you have taken the images from the game yourself that does not make you the copyright holder; the copyright of the game is with Maxis / Electronic Arts and any works derived from the game, including images, are still copyrighted by them in what is known as derivative works. Maxis themselves have not objected, and even encouraged, people to upload images of the game on to the internet but this is unfortunately is not recognised in law, so cannot be recognised on Wikipedia either. Images of SimCity 4 can be uploaded onto Wikipedia on a claim of fair use, as is the case with images in the SimCity 4 article. I would have converted the images to fair use for you but the SimCity article already has lots of images and any more will probably violate the very strict WP:NFCC.

Re. Soverns' Law
I'm curious about your vote on Articles_for_deletion/Soverns'_Law. Where in that article do you see a reference? X X X antiuser 18:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you even bother to check the "reference"? You can't just call it a reference because it's linking to something... X X X antiuser 23:13, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It was a link to a password-protected forum. The whole article was about an expression that was created the same day, on that forum. The sort of thing WP:MADEUP prohibits. X X X antiuser 02:48, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It was in "footnote" form because that's the way WP formats external links if you don't give them any text. Just because there's a link in the article, doesn't mean it's a reliable source. You have to check the refs before saying if an article should be deleted or not. X X X antiuser 08:02, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sean Rutledge
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Uh, did you not see the completed CheckUser results at the bottom of the SPI case page? –MuZemike 01:42, 29 December 2009 (UTC) What does likely, almost confirmed mean? And I apologize, I did not see that. I would like to know the poster's rationale on how "likely" equals confirmed. I am innocent. Torkmann (talk) 02:22, 29 December 2009 (UTC)

An article you previously commented in is up for AFD again

 * I am contacting everyone who participated in the previous AFD to inform them the same exact article is up for deletion again. Articles_for_deletion/List_of_The_Simpsons_couch_gags_(2nd_nomination)  D r e a m Focus  04:44, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
