User talk:UkPaolo/Archive 2

Congratulations!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 22:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Monobook
I noticed that your monobook says "NO JAVASCRIPT"...does this mean you don't want any. My monobook is VERY useful...you might want to copy it. It automatics a lot of tedious things. Voice -of-  All T 16:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for that suggestion, I will certainly look at your monobook when I get a chance. I did try Lupin's popups previously, but it seemed to cause my browser to crash so I gave up with it. Still, I'll definitely have a play at some point! Any add-on's in particular that you'd recommend? └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 09:37, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Sarvajanik College of Engineering and Technology
Someone keeps vandalizing the following: Sarvajanik College of Engineering and Technology and it's principal Perci Engineer. Is there any way to guard against this besides a revert war? (I'm asking you since one of the recent reverts was yours; thanks for that!) Milobot 15:58, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi there. I will keep an eye on Sarvajanik College of Engineering and Technology and ensure that vandalism is reverted. If the need be, I can protect the page from editing but I don't think that is necessary yet. Regarding Perci Engineer, the article has not been vandalised, but another editor considers it elligible for deletion, since it is an article about a real person or group of people that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject. As the template says, if you contest this, then you should place the template in the article, and write an explanation as to the significance of the individual on the talk page. I hope this helps, let me know if I can be of further assistance. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 16:08, 3 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help with those articles; it seems like we've fought the vandals off for now! Milobot 17:42, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Awaiting November
What was your reason for deleting the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awaiting_November? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.30.216.44 (talk • contribs)
 * I felt that the article met speedy deletion criteria A7, as did another user who tagged it as such. This criteria is about unremarkable people or groups. "An article about a real person, group of people, band or club that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. If the assertion is disputed or controversial, it should be taken to AFD instead." Since the article made no attempt to "assert the importance or significance of its subject" I felt it was deletable under this criteria. For reference, you may like to read the notability guidelines for inclusion at WP:MUSIC. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 22:50, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Reverting Edits
Hi UKPaolo - I was going to insert a photo into an article about Crawford Castle I created and you "reverted" it. I don't mind that you did it because I wasn't aware at the time it was copyrighted. My question is - how did you do it so fast? I put a sample picture in where I was going to put the real picture in and you removed it before I could download it? Also, does your "reverting" edit give me a bad reputation in this fine community? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lawnmowerman (talk • contribs)
 * Hi Lawnmowerman. As part of the ongoing fight against vandalism of Wikipedia I was browsing through recent changes (in fact, I was using a tool to help me do this faster). I noticed that you had made an edit in which the only change was to add an example image to the page, so I reverted it - that's all. I can assure you me having reverted you won't have given you a bad reputation at all. For reference, for help uploading and using images you may like to read Uploading images and Images. If you have any other queries, feel free to leave me a message. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 09:30, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
''Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing. However, unconstructive edits, such as those you made to Horn%20(instrument), are considered vandalism. If you continue in this manner you may be blocked from editing without further warning.

school project
I realize that I am vandalizing Wikipedia, but believe it or not, it's for a school debate topic. In class, my group was giving the topic of why Wikipedia should be allowed for use by college students. As part of the debate presentation, it is my job in the group to prove that people can't just put anything they want on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is a highly renouned source of information and we want to prove to the class that it is indeed a reliable source. This is why I have been putting in political, false, and ridiculous messages. To prove that I will get reprimanded for doing so, and that moderators do take care of false or political statements quickly and efficiently. Thanks for your understanding.

Blackjackgirl17 21:22, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Interesting idea and a project which, I hope, will have shown you that vandalism of articles is indeed reverted quickly. I appreciate your explanation as to why you have been vandalizing articles, and have also copied it above to ensure it is seen by other editors. Please note, however, that vandalism will not be tolerated, and I trust you have now made sufficient test edits. Further vandalism may see a temporary block from editing imposed on your account, which would only show you further that vandalism is taken seriously here. Thank you for your understanding of this. Whilst I appreciate it cannot be used to test how quickly vandalism is reverted, to play around with editing pages, please remember the sandbox. I've left you a welcome message at the top of this page now, too, and hope you may find some of the links useful. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:35, 4 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you for understanding. I do have a question.  What would happen if I were to vadalize one more page? (I won't do it, but I wonder what would happen, I need this info for the final part of the debate).  And yes, so far, we have concrete evidence to show that Wikipedia is a a very trustworthy source of info.  Did you know that for every 3 mistakes in Encyclopedia Britanica there are 4 mistakes in Wikipedia?  Only one more mistake.  I'd say that's pretty reliable.  Not to mention that on Wikipedia, errors are corrected within seconds, whereas an encylopedia takes months, even years to edit.  And the bonus is that Wikipedia is open source.  Free information for all.  Thanks again for understanding.  I'm sorry I didn't explain the meaning of my edits before now.  Thanks.  :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackjackgirl17 (talk • contribs)


 * Yes, I did see that report comparing Wikipedia with Encyclopedia Britannica in the news &mdash; interesting stuff!
 * Our response to vandalism is basically that any user should be given due warning (using messages such as those which you were left above). Any of our editors are encouraged to revert vandalism which they come across, and to leave such messages, full details can be found at Vandalism. If vandalism continues despite warning, as those messages say, the vandal would be blocked from editing Wikipedia in accordance with our blocking policy. Since only an administrator can block users, non-admins would need to ask for help at this stage. This block is only for a temporary amount of time (possibly less than 24 hours for the first block), and only prevents the user in question from editing Wikipedia. After the block expires, the user is free to continue to edit the encyclopedia, although of course, future vandal edits would be taken significantly more seriously. I hope this helps, feel free to leave me a message if you have any queries (and don't forget to sign messages by typing ~ which is changed automatically to your name, and the date and time). Hopefully you have gained an insight into how useful a resource Wikipedia can be, and will be encouraged to make useful contributions! :o) └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 21:52, 4 March 2006 (UTC)

Please do not remove deletion tags
Please do not delete deletion tags. The no Eu image had already been deleted as it clearly cannot help in any way to improve an encyclopedia. Someone restored it ignoring the rules. It is solely used for divisive user boxes that violate wikipedia policy. ROGNNTUDJUU! 13:29, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Regarding Image:No-EU.png, I would agree that it is needlessly divisive, but I do not feel that it meets any of the speedy deletion criteria for images (in a nutshell: redundant copies, corrupt or empty images, improper or no licensing). As an admin, I was unwilling to speedy delete the image (for these reasons) and thus removed the tag. Per my edit summary, I posted an explanation on the image talk page. You are quite welcome to list the image on WP:IFD for deletion, and I may well support it's deletion there. It is not, however, speedy deletable under our current criteria. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 13:38, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * As the image is solely used for divisive user boxes that can get speedy deleted, speedy deleting the image itself is appropriate and was already done before someone ignoring wikipedia policy just restored it. You could have pasted the deletion request to the appropriate place yourself or at least leave me a note - only by accident I still had it on my watchlist after it had been deleted. ROGNNTUDJUU! 13:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The image is currently in use on a number of people's user pages. Until such time as it is removed from those, I see no grounds for it to be speedily deleted (although I am aware it had previously been deleted). If an admin chooses to speedy delete the template on which it is used, I would fully expect them to delete this image if it then became orphaned, without need for it to be tagged. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 13:47, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Now guess what - the user box already got speedy deleted. The users just set it up on their individual pages then, so the easiest way to stop ignoring policy about divisive user boxes is to speedy delete the image as was already done. ROGNNTUDJUU! 13:51, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Our policy is quite clear: criteria for speedy deletion are given here. I fail to see any of the image deletion criteria which this falls under, and it thus cannot be speedied. You have already listed it at WP:IFD, and I have tagged it as needing a license, but it must be left for seven days to give the uploader a chance to add licensing information before it can be removed on these grounds. A number of users clearly wish to make use of this image and I am not willing to speedy delete it. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 13:59, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I already explained why I think it falls under the criteria for speedy deletion, it is only used for remplates that fall under the criteria. Your licence note is nitpicking given that it is just an edited version of an image that has a licence. ROGNNTUDJUU! 14:06, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But it's not used on a template! You said yourself that the template was previously deleted, yet plenty of users are still making use of the image on their pages (admitedly probably by having subst'd the template). The image needs to have a licence specified, that is not nitpicking. I would agree that since it is only an edited version of a licensed image, it is not a copyvio, but that only gives support for it to be kept, not deleted! I am entirely for the EU, but I stand by the fact that this image simply does not meet any of our criteria for speedy deletion. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:10, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree that the image cannot be deleted for copyright violation, and I call asking for a licence that is obviously there nitpicking. And I call setting up templates again that had previosly been speedy deleted a violation of policy. As an administrator you should not endorse such loopholes in wikipedia policy. ROGNNTUDJUU! 14:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * With your last edit on my talk page you deleted an answer of mine to someone else. Please be more careful next time. ROGNNTUDJUU! 14:17, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Nobody has setup templates again. None of the users making use of the image are doing so via a template. A license needs be explicitly stated for every image on Wikipedia, and no licensing is given here. I do not count that as nitpicking. I apologise if I accidently removed content when editing your talk page, there must have been an edit conflict. I must admit that I find it bizarre the way you seem to prefer to keep removing this conversation from your talk page, but that is your decision and I am happy to respect it. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:21, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * PS: There is, as yet, no formal policy regarding user boxes. You may like to read Proposed policy on userboxes. The speedy deletion criteria refers only to templates, and the template which previously made use of this image has been deleted. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:26, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries about the deletion, you are obviously not some kind of vandal who does such things on purpose. There are people who have created the same thing that had used before in a template on their user page, giving the same equally divisive result. That cannot be tolerated. There is already discussion about speedy deleting such things on the speedy deletion page. ROGNNTUDJUU! 14:30, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * There are a number of discussions currently taking place regarding accepted policy on userboxes, and I would certainly agree with you that one important issue is that of divisive userboxes which are transcluded in a page rather than coming from a (deletable) template. Regarding this image, I suggest waiting for some input from other editors on the WP:IFD page. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:42, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * PS: I have added a licensing and source section to the image description, since I found the image description page on Serbian wikipedia. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 14:53, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * (copied from User talk:ROGNNTUDJUU!) I see exactly what you're saying, but the trouble is, it's not (yet at any rate) policy. As Metros232 said above, what if people are using this image, in a userbox, without ever having known about the template. That's currently not against policy, and doesn't make the image speedy deletable. Whether or not it should is a different discussion. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 15:02, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It does not matter if the people know they violate the policy about divisive user boxes. I informed them anyway. And if an image is solely used for divisive user boxes it should be deleted just as divisive user boxes. ROGNNTUDJUU! 15:08, 5 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I suggest you make such points somewhere like Wikipedia talk:Userboxes. It is a fair comment, but despite proposals there is not yet a formal policy in place to prevent users from creating divisive userboxes (without use of a template). └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 15:14, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

AfD question
Question, An article has been removed twice now and I see it has been added for a 3rd time. At what point do articles get removed permanently? Or can it be introduced over and over and over? Thanks in advance. JackassCKA 22:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey JackassCKA, welcome to Wikipedia! Regarding your AfD question, I'm not too sure what you mean. Looking over your contributions, perhaps you are referring to the the AfD discussion for Canadaka.net. To merit inclusion in Wikipedia, a website must be considered sufficiently notable. For an idea of how notability would be defined in this context, you may find it useful to read the guidelines at WP:WEB. Any article on a website which is not deemed sufficiently notable to merit an encyclopedia may be deleted, in accordance with our deletion policy. There is no firm rule regarding the recreating of an article with the same name as one which has previously been deleted, but note that the "recreation of deleted material" (defined as "a substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted according to the deletion policy") is a criteria for speedy deletion. To request the undeleting of an article, you would need to list at Deletion review (but make sure you read Undeletion policy first).
 * Basically, then, to answer your question, once an article has been deleted it should not be recreated. There's nothing which would physically prevent a user from recreating the page, but it's liable to be deleted by an admin, without further discussion (and if this kept happenning, the page would end up protected to prevent future recreation). If you feel a page has been deleted against our deletion policy, then it should be listed for deletion review.
 * If you were referring to Canadaka.net, I'd advise that it's currently not sufficiently notable to be deemed encyclopedic. Of course, if the site gains in popularity, or gains press coverage, it would then be deemed noteworthy, and the article could be recreated with revised content which could enable notability to be established.
 * Hope this helps, feel free to leave me a message if you have any other queries. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 23:29, 7 March 2006 (UTC)


 * After re-reading my question, I don't think it came out right. Yes i was referring to the canadaka.net AfD but after watching it get deleted twice, I noticed someone added it a third time. It has subsequently been deleted a 3rd time now. My question is, is there a limit how many times an article can be introduced? or can someone just continually re-enter the page/site/article and hope for inclusion? Or does the site/page/article eventually get banned? JackassCKA 01:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * As I said above, there's nothing in place which would physically prevent a user from recreating the article, but this should not happen, and if it does the article is likely to be "Speedily Deleted" by an admin (without the need for AfD discussion) as "recreation of deleted material". The thing to do is to request deletion review, not recreate content.
 * If a user did persistently recreate deleted content, it's likely that article name would be "protected" to prevent future editing (ie the article would be created with the sole content as template, and then protected to prevent changes). Depending on how maliciously an editor continued to add deleted content, despite warnings not to do so, it's possible they could be blocked from editing too. Hope this helps. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 08:57, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * PS, I noticed in the deletion log that Canadaka.net has only been deleted twice:
 * 22:48, 7 March 2006 InShaneee deleted "Canadaka.net" (recreation)
 * 06:52, 7 March 2006 Aaron Brenneman deleted "Canadaka.net" (per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canadaka.net)
 * IE, it was originally deleted in accordance with the AfD discussion, subsequently recreated and speedily deleted without further discussion, as I said above. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 09:04, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Regarding AfD on Jayski's Silly Season Site
Having created the article on Jayski's, and being unsure whether you've checked the deletion discussion since then, I'd like to ask you to reconsider your nomination. I do believe that, contrary to your nomination, it meets two criteria of WP:WEB: Part 1 (see and ), and Part 3 (being hosted by ESPN.com, noted on Jayski's home page  and linked to in the racing section of ESPN.com.  Thanks! -- SonicAD (talk) 03:18, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * In light of this information, I am happy to reconsider my opinion. It seems I was wrong and that the website does indeed meet WP:WEB, per these arguments, and I have thus withdrawn my deletion nomination and voted to Keep the article. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 09:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I moved the dab page's history (the one edit I could see that had to do with both a basketball player and a musician) to Rob Thompson. If you think I did something wrong, let me know.

And for future reference: if you want to split page histories, you need to first delete the page where you're moving things from, and then restore only the versions of that page you want to split off. The deleted versions will stay in the original place when moving, while the restored versions will get moved. - Bobet 12:30, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Flagged/Tagged Entry
You flagged the entry on Marina Abramovic for clean-up. (It also has a NPOV tag.)  I've done a considerable number of revisions to the entry: corrected factual errors (for example, the wrong birth date);  substantiated any quotes and references (and picture captions); provided accurate biographical information, derived from works written by and about the artist; and worked to provide a neutral/fact-based POV for the essay.

I've provided comments to all of the major edits, and provided information at the entry's talk page. I wanted to have an administrator review the entry to see if the various tags might be removed from it.

 * no problem! It doesn't seem to have made the news at all over here (UK), I can't even find it listed on the BBC's news site. └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 08:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well nothing new on the 6pm news or the 11pm news except the names of the two missing people yet I don't really think its fair to the family to post their names in WP when they're unconnected to the incident. I'll monitor the media as they're surely will be a fair bit of info coming out out of the accident, it appears the ferry was way off course for reasons unknown so the waiting game begins whilst the TSB moves in -- Tawker 08:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

A Boy Named Goo
album infoboxes are not supposed to have wikilink months and days of week. <-Fantailfan 19:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC)->
 * Is that right? I would have thought the day and month should be wiki-linked per WP:DATE so as to ensure that a user's date preferences can be put into effect (ie "24 March" can become "March 24" per preferences etc). └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 20:03, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You are correct, sir. My bad. Fantailfan 21:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a bloody lot
Hi there, thanks for creating the So where the bloody hell are you? article. I was very close to doing it myself, but created a redirect and hoped someone else would do it, so cheers for that. I see it's up for deletion already! Have voted to keep of course, doesn't look like there's much support for deletion from the Aussie contingent where this is very notable. --Canley 02:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Deletion?
I think you may have a bit of a hair trigger on that deletion button. Please see. Yours, For great justice. 21:28, 31 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Whoa! I must apologise for having mistakenly deleted Static grass. I'm not too sure what went on, I was deleting uncontested ded articles based on the highlighted articles on this list. I guess I clicked the wrong link, but am surprised I hadn't noticed that had been removed, maybe I was viewing a cached version of the page :S. Anyhow, I'm sorry about that mistake, I would contest the notability of the article as it currently stands, but that's obviously no reason for it to be deleted without due discussion. Spangineer has restored the page, and it's now on AfD. Thanks for bringing the error to my attention! └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 19:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Static grass
I've restored Static grass; I removed the PROD template a few hours ago, and it was on AfD when you deleted it. FYI. —Spangineer[es] (háblame)  21:44, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Not a problem; the page was probably still on the list due to toolserver lag, so you perhaps just confused the PROD template with the AFD template at a glance. Not sure how often that happens, but I'm sure it's happened before... it might not be a bad idea to change the background color of one of them to make the difference more obvious. Anyway, no harm done. —Spangineer[es] (háblame)  20:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I was going to suggest the same thing had happened. The toolserver has had some serious rep lag hovering around a day. The templates do look a lot alike.  If it makes you feel any better, someone else also made the same mistake.  Kotepho 20:44, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * thanks for your understanding, guys └ UkPaolo/talk┐ 18:53, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
