Footballer Notability
I agree with you regarding the deletion of the article on Fran Mérida. I am not happy with the current criteria (first team appearence requirement) of notability of youth footballers and have started a discussion on the Wikiproject Football talk page. I have only gotten two replies (wich both, in my opinion, miss my point). I am hoping for a discussion and hopefully a more flexible criteria but the discussion at this point seems to be less than heated. Perhaps you would be interested in posting a comment? Best Regards!

User owns several sock-accounts, and has much connections to several sockpuppets. this might be interesting? He is also did some rather useless edits, and marked several articles for blocked users for deletion, without even watching sources. He also triedv to change his own RfA, months ago. here, connections with the vandal Murlock can bed found. I think, you'd better ban the user indefintelt now; he has got away with it to often. block him indefinetly, and protect his talk-page, so that he cannot svae his ass this time. Just the way you blocked Haggawaga - Oegawagga aswell. Randalph P. Williams 11:48, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Deleted image
Hi Ugen64, I uploaded an image and it was deleted on the premise that it was unused, however it was being used in a very normal appropriate manner. The image was /Image:Mykinda.jpg and was deleted by User:%5Edemon (here's the ). Another matter is that the deletion wasn't nominated, leaving no chance for editors to debate prior to its deletion (though I don't know what the administrator rules on the subject are). Could you please restore this removal and reinstate the image (if it can't be done, I can re-upload it). -- linca linca  05:25, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for swift response. It was in use on "My Kind of Scene" (the link remains there to allow it's speedy restoration). The title "mykinda" is because the song was entitled "My Kinda Scene" for the M:I 2 soundtrack. -- linca linca  05:29, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

C.W. Schultz Deletion
Hi Ugen64,

I created an article for the author of Yeval, and it was deleted while I was in the process of updating it. I am doing my best to come up with sources. Although I understand this author may not be "notable" quite yet, the fact that he has a novel available at bookstores doesn't mean anything? Should he not get at least a stub?

I request that you restore this article and give me a week to build a better article out of it. I understand, and agree, that Wikipedia is not a "crystal ball". But it is difficult for me to build an article on someone when I get deletion notifications every time I try edit the article. I apologize if my way of building a wikipedia article is unusual, but I'm still learning. Please give this article immunity from deletion, just for the time being. Thank you. YevalPro 05:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Delete tag on Diego De Souza Gama Silva
You're right, that is notable. I was unaware of that criteria; my profuse apologies! Have a great day, and thanks for informing me! =David ( talk )( contribs ) 06:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

What the hell, bro?
You deleted the Devon Ford page (factual, not attack) and I don't know why. What if I deleted your stubs, huh? How would you like that?

I had a link to the website that sold his porn video (http://www.hotstuds.com/model_details.php?model_id=171&nats=) furthermore, I know him personally. I think you should choose words wisely before you insinuate that I'm childish. Some more snobby wikipedia editors have been known to belittle other (well-meaning) editors whom they mistake for vandals.

Lots of other adult film actors of whom I've never heard have articles on here. I'm not so much upset that you deleted my article because the notability was unclear. I do, however take offence at your condescending tone. If you could please tone that down a notch that would be great. This is everyone's encyclopedia.

Childish... snobbish... two different things. (I suppose I can be rather childish, can't I.) I apologise for any unencyclopedic content I may have inadvertently added to wikipedia and look forward to continuing my work on improving the English Wikipedia. I just wish that my first article would have stayed up... I was really proud to have an article.

Minorities in Country Music
I didn't see the article before it was deleted, but I'm wondering about what it said, in that it's unusual to see a decision made so quickly after a nomination. Was it overtly racist? I write because I'm in the radio business, and one of the only problems that I have with country music is its lack of diversity. The same could be said, of course, for heavy metal. Anyway, just curious about what made this one such a quick delete. Please respond when you can. Thanks Mandsford 23:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Liftarn
I realise what you're saying, but I'm not convinced that a block would have helped the situation. Liftarn is a very-long term user with a long history of decent edits (he actually, if I remember, pretty much mediated an edit war I was involved in as a newbie), and this edit war is messy on all sides. From the diffs I saw, Zora had been edit warring just as much as he had, and I dare say that Dbachmann had been more uncivil. Heck, I think I'd have been moved to incivility if some of the things I saw from him on ANI were aimed in my direction instead.

That said, I'm seeing some behaviour here that definitely warrants concern - reverting edits to the RfC is not on, and I couldn't find the sockpuppets diff to review it, but if the allegation was bogus, that too would be a problem. He needs to knock that sort of thing off - which is why I strongly warned him (and the other two parties) to get their act together or risk getting blocked. Rebecca 00:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

precision
This edit was not extremely helpful. In fact it created the impression you were a vandal or in league with a vandal. It would have been better if you had spelled out what was not true, ie that the vandal in question was not warned recently. Happy editing! -- Agathoclea 13:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello... thanks for cleaning up the Ron Hill nonsense. Garubaman, LuauLarry1969 and now 65.101.29.234 appear to be - if not one and the same - at least working in concert to create hoax articles. If possible, could you please look over Space, Arizona (no such place appears to exist) and Shawn Q.

Fair use rationale for Image:Firefox Delicacies.png
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Firefox Delicacies.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. After Midnight 0001 20:06, 28 July 2007 (UTC)

Block of
Hi, I was making a comment about this user on AIV when HBC Helperbot edit-conflicted me. It looks to me like this is a content dispute regarding South Carolina Educational Television, and technically both this IP and User:Blueboy96 (the reporting party) appear to have technically violated 3RR. I'm not questioning the block, but you might want to notify Blueboy of the difference between vandalism and content disputes. --Ginkgo100talk 03:45, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Maybe you can help regulate the dispute. I have been involved in a protracted talks with the initial contributor of the content, even doing the devils advocate edits, but he continues to merely want to turn the page into large tracts of quotes. User Arrow740 then stepped into middle of that and simply reverts things that is all. No real constructive edits or additions at all. If you want to help break the impasse and help in making the page a good one I would welcome it.--Tigeroo 22:33, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure. I believe they are trying to show his conquest as "bad" or horror event. Typical fare for all conquest stories, good guy conqueroring hero vs. bad guy horrible invader type problem. I created a section that deals with various items and tried to integrate it into the flow. I guess it is not prominent or does not take up enough such space for them. The newer edits don't try to integrate the material into the article, or even check to see if they have already been mentioned. They have a tendency also to be large block quotes slapped under some leading POV heading. Can't seem to govern the quality of the editing here at all, tried integrating it for them as well before giving up.--Tigeroo 22:46, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Chrisjnelson situation
I wanted to alert you to the fact that this situation is the result of a 6 week on going problem. There is an ArbCom involving myself and CJN as well as a RFC on CJN. Amongst many of the issues, Chris made a religiously/culturally insensitive remark in one of his edit summaries (although he has said this was not direct at anyone and therefor okay). Additionally, he attacked other users and been remarkably uncivil. I have had a number of problems with him and that is why we are at the place we are at. Just thought you should know.

Chrisjnelson situation
Ugen64, what do I have to do with this current situation? You say "Every time you (Durova) and Ksy92003 try to post something against Chrisjnelson's point of view, I read it and become more inclined to agree with Chris," but I have no idea why you need to say something about me when I have nothing to do with this discussion. Ksy92003 (talk)  00:25, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Okay, clarification was all I needed. The way that I interpreted your comment was that you were insinuating that my behavior and comments to Chrisjnelson was responsible for Chris' behavior.  Whether or not my behavior altered Chris' behavior is one thing, but I thought that your comment was implying that I was responsible for the recent block.


 * Truth be told, I wasn't expecting Chris to be blocked for WP:POINT. Honestly, I felt that he deserved a block for continued incivlity.  I don't understand why he was blocked for WP:POINT, but I think he at least deserved a block for WP:CIVIL.


 * Anyway, thank you for clarifying your comment for me. I appreciate it.  Ksy92003  (talk)  02:11, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Unblock
In situations like the Sapienz one, I would ask that you *please* show good faith towards the blocking admin when considering an unblock request. First of all, the person ironically asked for an unblock by personally attacking *in the unblock notice* another user with whom they have an off-wiki grievance, who actually has nothing to do with the situation they claim to be dealing with (and in which that user, as far as I can determine, is uninvolved). Also, if you look at the deleted edit, it contained "______ is Darren Smiths work place". This was not public knowledge and this line alone was the basis for my block. I don't believe in wheel warring so will post on AN/I for review, but suffice it to say I am not impressed that my concerns over the user's blatant harassment and privacy violation were not even given sufficient weight to leave a note on my talk page to let me know. Orderinchaos 02:23, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Update - Posted on AN/I under "Review of block and of unblock decision". Orderinchaos 02:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I have reset the ban as a 48-hour, given the above, and after consultation with others to ensure that this would not be a technical violation of WP:WHEEL. The principle here is that we do not give free passes to users to conduct a harassment campaign, and that posting personal information is a VERY serious offence (others have been indef-blocked for it in the past). In future, I strongly suggest that you read the evidence, consult with the blocking admin if available, and if you do decide to act without consulting them, notify them.

Unprotection of disruptive blocked users' talk pages
Why did you reverse my protection of User talk:141.157.199.156, after I protected it for the duration of the user's block? This user had been disruptively spamming his user talk page with gloating, trolling, and personal attacks, and resumed his disruptive behavior as soon as you removed the protection. The protection policy explicitly states that temporary protection of a disruptive blocked user explicitly allows protection of blocked users' talk pages in the event that they are using them to disrupt, which is clearly the case here. -- krimpet ⟲  03:48, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Someone seems to be taking themselves too seriously - and it's not the IP. Honestly, protecting a talk page for such minor incidents is in poor taste. If the gloating/whatever offends you, then don't look at it. I see no violation of policy, and it must be something exceptional in order to protect a user talk page without an obvious policy violation. ugen64 04:56, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The IP is repeatedly violating policy -- no personal attacks. And the fact that this IP has been adding maintenance templates means that plenty of editors will get to view the personal attacks and childish gloating while browsing the cleanup categories -- which is clearly what this user wants. Saying "if it offends you, don't look at it" only gives him more exposure. -- krimpet  ⟲  05:20, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I see no personal attacks - all I see is immaturity, and last I checked that is no violation of Wikipedia policy (otherwise I would probably have been indef blocked back when I was an immature 13 year old editor). ugen64 05:21, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
 * WP:BLOCK anticipates that users do not have free rein on their talk pages while banned. It should be used for obtaining reasonable assistance to unblock. If it is being used for abusive purposes I see no reason why not to protect until the end of the block. There is considerable precedent for this kind of action elsewhere on Wikipedia and it is in line with policy. As a real world parallel: if someone was to be locked up for an offence in the courts, for example, we allow them to appeal their sentences and full right to legal representation but we do not allow them to stand at the jail fence and yell slogans, that defeats the entire purpose of imprisonment.

Image for speedy deletion
I tagged Image:Jmmayor1.JPG for speedy deletion, which you changed. This image is a crop of an image that User:Kirkoconnell had uploaded, of himself and John W. Morgan. (See Talk:John W. Morgan). A vandal account cropped the image to the user's face, claimed copyright, and used it to vandalize the John W. Morgan article, by putting the user's face up as a photograph of the Mayor. I believe this qualifies as an attack CSD. The user who uploaded the image should probably also be blocked as a vandal only account. There has been some very strange vandalism on that article over the months, by a team of three editors out of Nova Scotia working as meatpuppets. They finally figured out how to get around semiprotection by making accounts. - Crockspot 17:35, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Again
Dear Friend, What is the trouble about this image? It is written: has no explanation as to why it is permitted under the policy. It is just a promotion image. It is forbidden like those images?

Thanks bro

Take care of yourself

Stub Sorting
Hi, I've noticed you've created a few stubs recently and marked them with an uncategorised stub template. It'd be very helpful if you could use a more specific stub template where possible, such as opera-singer-stub - a full list can be found here. Thanks, Jeodesic (talk) 10:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Request to REBLOCK User:Davidking24
User:Davidking24 was not only blanking his own talk page, but also Talk:Rick and Bubba and User talk:Zpb52, which is a violation of Wikipedia policy. Can you reinstate the block? --Zpb52 (talk) 02:07, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Ugen, I wish to clarify that I was not blanking anything at Rick and Bubba or at Zpb52Talk. I was merely trying to delete My Own post that had been criticized by Zpb, after Zpb reported me the first time. I did repeatedly try to delete my post and then was reported again, but again, I only tried to delete my post.(Davidking24 (talk) 02:40, 23 January 2008 (UTC))


 * Just wanted to toss in that, as a result of Davidking removing his edits, the continuity of the discussion in Talk:Rick and Bubba is rather broken, and it looks like Zpb was having a conversation with himself. &mdash;  Hello Annyong  (say whaaat?!) 03:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Chicken or the egg
Who decides "who's reverting who?" This all started because I saw a lot of contributors information was being removed by Zpb. He decided unilaterally that it was not relevant and deleted it. I thought surely this was not the way Wiki worked and tried to replace the information that had been put there by multiple other people. He deleted the information several more times then reported me. At this point, I realized that if this is the way wiki works it is not for me and began to try to delete my account. I thought the first step towards requesting my "right to vanish" was to delete my post and "my talk" page. Zpb then proceeded to report me again, this time for deleting my own talk page? Sorry for any confusion or problems that I may have caused, but I believe that the problem began with someone else's personal reasons or some private agenda.
