I figured it wouldnt work. I just thought I'd give it a try. Thanks--Yankees10 20:21, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Konqistador
When you declined a speedy on Konqistador, you seemed to be declining an A7. However, the tag was db-repost because an AfD at Articles for deletion/Konqistador has already been held. Cunard (talk) 05:34, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I've gone ahead and re-deleted the page (solely under the assumption that you accidentally missed the deletion discussion). However, Ultraexactzz, if you feel that this deletion was in error and that the page deserves at least another deletion discussion, you have my full permission to restore it.  I hope you both are well, best regards!    A rbitrarily 0    ( talk ) 01:59, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Replied, to both. Thanks. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 12:46, 10 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Request assistance, wiki page was fully re-created after first deletion discussion, wiki guidelines were adhered to and template for musician page was established, old content was not re-posted, recent posting resembled nothing like previous entry, article is reliable as per references provided, please advise :) - many thanksWiki4132 (talk) 17:39, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

The Arena MMA Page
Hi,

I have provided a large amount of 3rd party references on The Arena MMA page. I have also just provided a 10 point summary on the discussion page rebuting the arguments made for the deletion of The Arena MMA page. As you were one of the original editors who argued for deletion, could you please take the time to read the points I made at this discussion? I am trying my best to play by WP rules and I would like to know if my points are being acknowledged. Thank you. Mmasource (talk) 07:00, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Just saw your points on the discussion page. Thank you. I have asked a few questions in response as well as provided some info re. Sherdog getting its credential pulled. Can you please review when you get a chance so I know which direction to move in as far as article sourcing? Thanks Mmasource (talk) 17:39, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Redirect to where? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 21:09, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Line 139:	Line 139: :Also, I see that you asked about Redirects - which might be a good option, in the case of these films. All you do is blank what's there, then type the word " #REDIRECT " followed by a space and a regular wikilink to the target article, or the one that you want that article to redirect to. It's simple, once you know how - but you can leave me a message for specific assistance, if you like. Or, just use helpme on this page and someone will come along to assist. Hope this helps! Best, UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 20:54, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

I appreciate this and I would like to do it, but I don’t know where to redirect it to. I don’t want to put it in the wrong place. Do you have any ideas where I can direct it to before I do this, so it will be in the right place? User :Sholun Thanks, Kim —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.34.109.238 (talk) 23:56, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for replying back and trying to help. No the mars society did not have any part in the production, they just recognized it as a movie made about Mars, and added it to a list of many movies made about Mars. I just can’t believe that there isn’t some category for these movies to be redirected to. I am asking for help because I have little knowledge on how to find a place for them. Maybe independent movies, science fiction movies, I just don’t know. Any ideas would be helpful before they put them on the chopping block. ( 99.34.109.238 (talk) 15:04, 19 May 2010 (UTC) )

Abortion in the US block
Then will you be blocking NeutralHomer as well, since he was reverting to an obviously bogus version, and the person you blocked was fixing it? --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:30, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * NH baited him into that 3RR violation. While there are other lovely reasons to block him, that 3RR vio wasn't one, imho. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:34, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Userfy of Bibliography of Arkansas National Guard History
thanks for making the move, but it still has the Proposed deletion TAG and now a TAG that says "this template is being used in the wrong namespace. To nominate this user page for deletion, go to Miscellany for deletion."

Is it OK if I remove the proposed deletion tag now?Damon.cluck (talk) 19:33, 19 May 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for your review of Moon. The article has been kept! Iridia (talk) 01:54, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Village Pump (Policy)
Just answering your conern that you weren't sure what I was looking for.

I looked at what I believe were all by Village Pump (Policy) contributions. The closest I ever got were problems I was having with a specific article but I was definitely asking about policy all three cases. In one case I got the help I needed (and maybe pointed others to a solution if they ran into ther same thing). In two other cases I never got a response but was never deleted or reverted in the articles I had a concern about, so I consider that sufficient proof I was okay.

EKOenergy
Hi!

I finally finished my first full article on English Wikipedia. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Reskelinen/EKOenergy

Do you think it is ready to be published? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Reskelinen (talk • contribs) 11:19, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Help desk redacted comment
Hi, Ultraexactzz, I noticed you re-added a comment I removed that included personal information and eliminated the diffs for the edits in which the information was present. You didn't get all of them, however. My edit removing the information (12:14, July 13, 2010) is still there, so if you'd like to remove it as well, you probably should. I'm not an admin, so I can't. Thanks! --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 17:23, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

Requesting help re: disruptive edits
Duchamps comb has repeatedly removed sourced material from Rand Paul without discussion, and then began disrupting Paul's talk page by introducing misleading quotes. Duchamps posted this on the talk page:
 * "and its registered team only has one ophthalmologist" --[that entry is wrong because] Paul has had over 200 other Opthamologist re-certified by his NBO. --Duchamps_comb MFA 18:00, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

In reality, the sentence said:
 * "its [the NBO's] registered team only has one ophthalmologist, Paul himself, listed in the annual filing submitted to the Kentucky registering agency."

Additionally, the source is a document that Rand Paul penned himself! When asked to cease the removal of sourced information in the article without discussion, Duchamps declined. As you've dealt with Duchamps previously, regarding similar actions, I believe this situation would benefit from your help. The Original Wikipedian (talk) 19:55, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

 * If you look at the conversation and Refs (that do not qualify as RS) you will in fact see WP:OR,WP:SYNTH, and WP:BLP being violated by The Original Wikipedian (in an uncivil manner to myself). I look forward to your comments.--Duchamps_comb MFA 04:38, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

IP edit problem
Hi! As mentioned in my talk page, I was able to edit wikipedia from my home (current location) but not in the other IP address (school), which showed that I was autoblocked. I had left a note earlier in my talk page, mentioning my autoblock problem in school.

Feel free to check my block log on this. For your kind advice please. Mr Tan (talk) 15:49, 23 July 2010 (UTC)

User:RTLamp recreated page
I'm not sure what you deleted, but he's recreated the main page with insults vs Wikipedia admins and of course the talk page remains filled with insults against me. FYI. CarolMooreDC (talk) 00:45, 3 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Per your note, I misunderstood the nature of User_talk:RTLamp and your deletion, esp given he said he was quitting. However, I did read somewhere yesterday that others and especially admins can remove insulting comments on talk pages. It seems that if we want a Civil wikipedia doing so is one way to make it clear that that such behavior not tolerated. Whatever. CarolMooreDC (talk) 15:15, 3 August 2010 (UTC)

67.169.68.203's block
I appreciate that you are reluctant to overturn another admin, but I think you made the wrong call here. Please reconsider - I think the symbolism of an unblock would go a long way toward repairing the mistreatment 67.169.68.203 has suffered. ErikHaugen (talk) 20:47, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * The vandalism charge was completely bogus. The vandal fighter gave several bogus warnings last night, and was called on it by an admin and by me and has apologized.
 * The reluctance to overturn should be somewhat mitigated by the blocking admin's admission that the blocking rationale was wrong and by the objections of several other editors to the block on that discussion page.
 * This user was a bit uncivil, saying things like "bots don't have a brain but you have one so use it" a few times, but the bar for blocking is "persistent gross incivility." There is nothing persistent about this. The way to handle this level of incivility is to talk to the user: see 67.169.68.203's talk page, I believe engagement is the only thing that has worked there. The "revenge" vandalism warning, while arguably pointy, was not entirely bogus - the editor had repeatedly blanked 67.169.68.203's legitimate contributions.
 * Getting blocked is a pretty intense thing. I know, it's only ~a day, and objectively it shouldn't matter much, but I think the harm here is that this user is getting some pretty heavy handed treatment, and this kind of thing would understandably scare new users off. The overeager vandal-fighter here put a *lot* of bogus warnings on (presumably) new users' talk pages. We needed to mitigate that, not aggravate it like Fastily and you did here!


 * Turns out, I didn't come back until after the block had expired - but Fastily appears to have annotated the block log as discussed at the IP's talk page, reflecting the correct block rationale. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:43, 23 August 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm glad Fastily at least did that (but see 67.169.68.203's thoughts on it), but I think most of the harm here has not been undone - see what I wrote above. This is not the way we want editors treated, and not the way we want to clean up from overeager vandal fighting. ErikHaugen (talk) 18:02, 23 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello Ultraexactzz, thank you for supporting my RfA! I was promoted with a final tally of 65/4/3. I hope I can live up to everyone's expectations, do my best for Wikipedia, and take to heart the constructive criticism. Always feel free to message me if I'm around.

OzonAction: CFCs effect on Stratoshperic Ozone
Hi. :) This one isn't unambiguous. The contributor is asserting authority, which I'm trying to work out. He may be opting to rewrite the content based on time limitations. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:47, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Coffee, yes. Don't we all? :/ This one is already crazy! I figured you wouldn't mind my restoration; there was some urgency in that I had linked to the article to explain how to correct the problem. I needed it back so he could see it. :D Apologies if I was wrong on that one. I would have otherwise waited for you! --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:52, 14 September 2010 (UTC)

TCMI Backstage Pass
Thank you for your note regarding the TCMI Backstage Pass. I'm very sorry that you can't make it for the Friday. If you're available on Tuesday evening, November 2nd, there is another event (but not behind the scenes) at the IMA. Let me know and I can give you details. If you're interested in helping me with the Wikipedia project at TCMI I'd be very grateful. As such, other opportunities can be made to come meet at the museum and share what we have going on there. I appreciate your enthusiasm! Let me know if you have any questions regarding the TCMI-Wikipedia collaboration. HstryQT (talk) 01:03, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the encouragement! I'd be happy to have your help once the project moves into the next stages (in a couple of months) where we begin coordinating the sharing of TCMI content in Commons and on the TCMI site (research/photos/etc) and spreading the word to appropriate WikiProjects. This will be done virtually; and I may come hunting you down at that point. :) Thanks again! HstryQT (talk) 23:27, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Disagree with your deleting of SWGEmu
I disagree strongly with your deleting of the Star Wars Galaxies Emulator page. As I am biased as I was originally a developer, I will not push for its reinstatement (yet), but your reasoning is unsound.

I fail to see how it is not notable, and it seems as though instead of searching for sources or even looking, you arbitrarily deleted the page stating no sources. This is very un-wikilike. There are pages on Wikipedia with FAR less notability than SWGEMU, why has it been focused upon? A quick Google search for SWGEMU returns 23,500 hits, the vast majority of which are directly related. The project has been released for some time, it just isn't considered in a 'complete' state, but very few Open Source projects are ever 'complete'. Antman -- chat 18:08, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for reviewing my report at AIV. If you have a moment, can you review the last edit to this article? My opinion is that it needs to be reverted, but I think it would be bad form for me to do so. Thanks! TN X Man 14:41, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Heads up about an RfC
Please note that there's a new discussion at Requests for comment/2010 ArbCom election voting procedure in which you may wish to comment. It is expected to close in about a week. You have received this message because you participated in a similar discussion (2009 AC2 RfC) last year. Roger talk 05:48, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

Tedescoboy22
Regarding User:Tedescoboy22's comments, it is true that I am involved in the RfC myself. However, based on the comments at Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Tedescoboy22 and User talk:PhilKnight, I felt at the time it was right to block him. Also, there were four days since I opened the RfC and informed Tedescoboy22 about it, before I decided to block him. In this entire time, Tedescoboy22 did not respond either in the RfC or directly to me, so I assumed he had either resigned or just got bored of Wikipedia. What should now be done? Should I unblock him? J I P &#124; Talk 21:00, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Azeline Hearne
You recently participated in the deletion discussion for this article, stating that there are "independent references that focus squarely on the subject." Could you add some of these to the article, or even just indicate what they are on the talk page? The only sources I'm finding are Dale Baum's book and reviews of the book. Thanks, cmadler (talk) 12:47, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Removed comments
Well, that was certainly not planned. Actually, the software gave me no indicator at all of why I'd been EC'd; the only difference between the stored text and mine that I could see was the text I added. So, I blame MediaWiki. Thanks for fixing its/my error, though! Heimstern Läufer (talk) 15:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

TCMI Project update
Hello! While I know that you weren't able to attend the Backstage Pass, I wanted to pass along some resources and links from the day. You can see that images from the day are being added to the Children's Museum of Indianapolis category in Commons. Note that there is a separate category of images of us from the day (rather than objects). We also received a little press on both the Children's Museum blog: The Wikipedians are Coming! and the Wikipedia Signpost had the event as their lead story last week. I will be continuing to work on organizing TCMI research content and moving forward with the content donation in the coming months. I will probably have an announcement about the content donation sometime around February, and I could certainly use your help in spreading the word at that point. In the meantime, do let me know on the project requests page if you are interested in working on a TCMI-related article and would like to be connected with a curator. Thanks!
