User talk:Zondor

Forum (education)
I have added a "" template to the article Forum (education), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Reason given is : Fail to see how this is different from forum (legal) in which schools are mentioned and it is unlikely to be expanded. Sufficient explanation in Wiktionary. If you remove the prod please give me an explanation why you think the article should be kept. Thankyou. Firelement85 15:30, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Dictionary words
Zondor, got a second to elaborate on what you are trying to accomplish with articles such as Before and Afterwards? We are obviously not a dictionary, and I can't think of why somone would research the encylopedia for a word like Before. xaosflux Talk  / CVU  07:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank's for the reply, I was about to Speedy Delete these, but you're obviously not a clueless newbie :) Although I still don't see much use for these, if you do then someone else may as well, could you go easy on creating more of these for a day or so to make sure there's not a slew of afd/csd noms or issues brought up from your VP link? Thanks,  xaosflux  Talk  / CVU  07:18, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Moving items to Wiktionary
Can you please review what you recently moved to Wiktionary? By moving them, do you mean that you believe each of them passes wikt:Wiktionary:Criteria_for_inclusion? Otherwise you might just be dumping garbage to another wiki. --Perfecto 09:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Then please stop. If any of them are inappropriate, then an admin there, not just an ordinary user, has to come delete the entry you made.  I mean, you're spreading the bad. --Perfecto  09:58, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Ambi
I note there have been some suggestions re Ambi's real life persona. I would suggest that pursuing it against Ambi's wishes is harrassment. Garglebutt / (talk) 07:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

I second Garglebutt's comment. Please leave her alone. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 07:48, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * -- Zondor 07:52, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Garglebutt has plenty of things to think about in terms of harrassment. But I think putting up that blog link is probably not good. --2006BC 07:56, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * (after ec) I hope you realise that blog is most likely written by the Stephen Beng Ho vandal who wrote defamatory content about Rizzuto and accused Ambi, Longhair and myself of being the same person. As if Ambi would annouce it on a public blog if she was Rizzuto. That blog is just another fake Rizutto site. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 07:58, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I correct myself. It isn't another fake site. It's the same one. This is the Australian politics vandal User talk:StephenBengHo. You'll notice that Longhair cites a blog which StephenBengHo kept inserting into the now deleted Rizzuto article. Funnily enough it's the exact same site that you're now citing as proof that Ambi is Rizzuto. Sarah Ewart (Talk) 11:42, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Firstly, even if I was Paula Rizzuto, that blog is utterly defamatory, and your linking to it would be unwise. And secondly, I am not Paula Rizzuto, as I just proved to Adam Carr by posting logged out from my Canberra IP address. Thirdly, edit my user page again in that manner and I will block you. Ambi 23:21, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * -- Zondor 05:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * You vandalised my userpage. This is grounds for blocking, thus this will occur if it happens again. Ambi 05:53, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * It is just as unwise concluding it is vandalism. You're totally out of touch with community standards here, Zondor. Editing a contributor's user page to disclose their identity is vandalism of the most serious nature. Editing a contributor's user page to imply a false identity is just petty vandalism. Where or not you believe Ambi to be Paula Rizzuto, your edit of Ambi's user page was vandalism, and if you do it again there will be admins lining up to save Ambi the trouble of blocking you. Snottygobble 06:05, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * -- Zondor 06:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You're confusing the article space with user pages. Garglebutt / (talk) 06:25, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You only have the right to invoke Ignore all rules when you obey the spirit of Wikipedia i.e. Don't be a dick. By the letter of the law or the spirit of the law, your vandalism of Ambi's user page is unacceptable. Snottygobble 11:50, 9 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with Snottygobble and Ambi. You made a comment on Ambi's talkpage, asking: "is that a threat?".  It was a threat, and the only reason why you should not take good notice of it is because, if you act inappropriately towards Ambi &mdash; or any other Australian editor &mdash; again, I intend to block you before she even knows about it.  Is that understood? fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 12:15, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

You are all very good at sticking out for each other. I am powerless against the mob. -- Zondor 15:12, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Nonsense. You did something very stupid, and a bunch of admins noticed it, and made sure you realised it was very stupid.  Now, relax.  You haven't actually been blocked for your act of vandalism, have you?  Take your medicine, and wake up on the other side of bed tomorrow morning.  We'll do the same. fuddlemark (fuddle me!) 15:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

The entries you moved to Wiktionary
No one is trying to verify the entries you copied to Wiktionary and tagged because they're angry at you. Almost every one of them will be deleted, it looks like.

You have a responsibility to (1) clean up the unformatted mess you made with your so-called "Wikipedia dumps" and to (2) try to verify the entries that you nominated for verification. I don't know whether you were trying to get the entries deleted by acting the way you did--I hope not.

Sincerely,

Your photos of SD Meetup
Hi Zondor, I hope you are well. I've not talked to you in quite some time. You took photos (Image:San_Diego_Meetup_with_Jimbo_1.JPG and Image:San Diego Meetup with Jimbo 2.JPG) at the San Diego meetup. Do you know most of the attendees usernames? I thought it would be nice to add that to the photo descriptions. Could you help with that, please? I don't want to mislable anyone due to a faulty memory connection. Thanks!

Recreated "stable version"
I see you've recreated the "forked" version of Early life of Joseph Smith, Jr.. Unless I've missed some development on this score, this is not an operational process, and is still against Content forking -- though at least it's no longer out of line with WP:PROTECT. Given the established consensus to delete this, it would seem to be speediable. Alai 06:53, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * -- Zondor 07:50, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't follow. Can you address the above with regard to why it shouldn't be speedily deleted, as a recreation of deleted material, and as a content fork?  Alai 07:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * -- Zondor 07:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * One deleteable article at a time, please. This is a WP:CSD G4;  do you agree, and if not, why not?  Alai 08:06, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * -- Zondor 08:35, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I call 100% agreement to delete a pretty good consensus, actually. If there's no-one advocating it be kept at all, then "turnout" may be somewhat diminished. Given how actually stable the main article is, I don't see why you can't do "stable review" on a separate talk page, and put any changes into the history of said main article, as I suggested previously.

I'm not holding my breath for there being 10,000 "stable articles", if it takes this long to agree a stable version of a featured article, of which there are <1000. IMO you need both software support of stable version marking, and a more "lightweight" and speedy review process, otherwise the idea's not really going anywhere. Certainly 10,000 forked articles, all of them duplicating entries in permanent categories, isn't going to be acceptable. Alai 15:50, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


 * -- Zondor 02:15, 24 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I've no objection at all to forks on the basis you suggest; that sounds like a good plan.  Perhaps on the model of featured article nominations, there could be a "stabilisation window" (of 7, 10, 14 days, or whatever), after which it'd be put into the main history as a stable version if there's consensus to do so, at which point the copy would be deleted.  (Obviously this could be extended if there's still active work on stablising.)  One additional thing I'd request:  turn the categories into links while they're on the forked page, so the copy isn't separately categorised under its "odd" name.  Alai 02:45, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Root Page concept
Hi, I note that you defended Root page in the past to some extent. The idea is now under attack despite months of effort my myself and User:Light current and numerous changes that overcome objections. We think we now have a very neat system in action, using special templates, which you can see in action in several places. Would you please take a look and consider supporting us by voting to keep at the link given on Wikipedia talk:Root page --Lindosland 17:43, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Your toolbox
Hi Zondor, I had picked up the useful toolbox that you have on your page and pasted it to my homepage. Once there, I tried tweaking it a bit to suit my needs. However, when I checked your page, the changes had been made there as well... So I reverted the changes... Obviously I am a bit technologically challenged. Can you advise how I can make changes to the one on my userpage without affecting the one on yours. Thanks Lost 05:20, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Your "Columnisations"
I noticed you reformatted quite a few articles by creating multiple columns in certain sections.

While this may work in some cases, in others it actually makes the content a lot harder to read. And, unless I've lost track at some point, it is also against the styling guidelines of Wikipedia. See: Guide to layout and Manual of Style.

So, please don't go overboard with those columns, and, especially on popular articles, check what other people think about the reformatting before you apply them (since it does go against the guidelines). Thanks! --Frescard 06:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Linked Aussie map
I think the map you added is an improvement to the earlier version. (I don't know what others will think though) It is too big though in my opinion. can reduce its width by maybe 30%??? It sticks out too much at the moment. --Merbabu 04:59, 30 October 2006 (UTC)
 * OK, nice work Zondor. I made some further comments in Talk:Australia --Merbabu 05:18, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

"X Label[l]ed Map"s
Hi Zondor, Just become aware these via here and, as it looks as though you're their originator/facilitator – if so, thanks for great idea/work! – I wondered if you'd agree that the templates listed in the documentation might benefit from a rename to a

Greetings, person who is listed as being interested in future meetups in Melbourne. The fourth meetup will be held on 18 December, at Lower House in Fed Square (in the Alfred Deaking building, Flinders Street end near the Atrium: map), starting from 7pm.

about Lee Isaacs

 * Keep Isaacs is my vote. This photographer is quite notable. Editor Hoary decided long ago he didn't want Isaacs' on WP for whatever reason. We both obviously see, along with others, that Isaacs work is as notable as half of the photographers on WP whether its art photography and/or commercial photography. I fleshed out alot of this article but I do understand to google Lee Isaacs is not easy  since alot of people have his first and last name as a middle name and last name. I have a book here, UPsouth, that has many examples of his work.  This is a Warhol project grant through Space One Eleven. He is in good company as far as the notoriety of the other artists here is concerned. Emma Amos and bell hooks are in the book along with Willie Cole and Marie Weaver. Cole is the only other male in this project. Maybe someone could sift through some of this. Artsojourner 06:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Fifth Melbourne meetup
The fifth meetup of Melbourne Wikipedians is being planned as a breakfast meeting in the city with Jimbo Wales (at a venue to be arranged) on Friday, 27 April 2007.

Jimbo has proposed breakfast as the one real window of opportunity during his tightly scheduled stay in Melbourne. Tbe precise time has to be sorted out with Jimbo, but the arrangements for the equivalent Adelaide meetup a few days before may give a good idea.

Feel free to edit the relevant page in any way that might be helpful. I feel like a bit of an interloper, not having attended previous meetups. If there's anything you can do to help, I'll be grateful. Please think about whether you'll be able to make it, assuming the arrangements are similar to those Adelaide is adopting (i.e. a block of time with people being fairly free to arrive when it suits them). Some indication on the page of your possible participation would be really helpful. Metamagician3000 06:09, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:Sample-national-park-service-pictographs.gif
Thanks for uploading Image:Sample-national-park-service-pictographs.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 15:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC). If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. PatricknoddyTALK (reply here) | HISTORY 15:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Image copyright problem with Image:Sample-national-park-service-pictographs.gif

fair use
I have requested a review of the Image:Cisco.Certified.Network.Associate.Logo.png file that you uploaded (back in 2004), because I am less than 100% sure the image qualifies as fair use. Although it is of low-resolution, and is used solely to illustrate the subject matter in Wikipedia, it does not really contribute to the public's understanding of the subject matter, and so I think that it safely may be able to be deleted.

You and I may agree that it's fair use, but I nominated the image for review on the possibly unfree images page, and possible deletion, out of an abundance of caution. If you work for Cisco then please go ahead and delete my nomination from the "possibly unfree images" page. 69.140.164.142 07:06, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:CompTIA.A.Plus.Logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:CompTIA.A.Plus.Logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with 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.

Unspecified source for Image:CompTIA.A.Plus.Logo.png
Thanks for uploading Image:CompTIA.A.Plus.Logo.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, then you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self-no-disclaimers tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Fair use, use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [ this link]. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the image is copyrighted under a non-free license (per Fair use) then the image will be deleted 48 hours after 17:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC).

Labelled Maps with Rotation
Hi Zondor,

That's a great job you have done on map labeling! I was just wondering that whether or not it is possible to add a rotation to the text. It would be awesome then! Then one can label everything, for example, I was thinking of labeling street maps where labels are along the streets; or, as another example, if one wants to label something which is very horizontally-narrow, like Chile in South America map, right? Imagine in this map, the name Chile was something else, like Trinidad and Tobago... :)

Have fun,

Speedy deletion of Template:Wikipedia videos/Sky City 1000
A tag has been placed on Template:Wikipedia videos/Sky City 1000 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

wp:citation needed
Hi Zondor,

Can I persuade you to get rid of the external links section at the bottom of this page? My favorite part about this page is that it's one of the briefest in the WP: space. As the editor who included the XKCD comic on the page in the first place (August 15, check the edit history), believe me, I'm with you, I think the inclusion of the XKCD is a fabulous thing. But the external links section adds almost 25% more text to the length of the page. And the thing is, the link to Digg doesn't say anything except, haha, pointing out that there's an XKCD comic on the page! -- which we already know.

I would be greatly, greatly, appreciative if you could be persuaded on this one. I have put dozens and dozens of hours into rewriting this page to be as brief as possible, and it would mean a lot to me.

thanks. Andrew Gradman talk/WP:Hornbook 14:33, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Addition of "discuss" template to various articles
You have recently added discuss and/or discusshl to numerous articles without explanation. Most of your additions have been reversed, making your edits pointless. Could you please explain why you are adding these templates and what you hope to achieve? Many editors would like to know. --AussieLegend (talk) 13:20, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought it was pretty self explanatory. Its an extension of the tag. Its like using a yellow marker and writing notes about it, and so its very Web 2.0. Its useful in conjunction with the new Beta interface with Ajax popups of the content of the discussion. Wikipedia has an inherent problem of being untrustworthy in which these tags would hopefully help to resolve. The yellow highlights are suppose to highlight problems with some statements, if I had not done that correctly. Wikipedia is too proud of itself to think it is a worthy source of information. If you don't like them, then remove them only when the problem/discussion has been resolved. -- Zondor (talk) 13:41, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * You've been adding them to parts of the text that have already been resolved—whether England is a country or not has been asked dozens of times and the resulting answer is yes; see the FAQ on the article's talk page. If you have a problem with the content, discuss it; don't just spam the article with templates and move to the next one. The yellow marker is quite ugly and distracting for the reader—the ones who are not involved with editing and simply want to read the content. Hayden120 (talk) 13:49, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * My copyediting is trying to facilitate discussion. I would say these highlights are better than the boilerplates at being less conspicuous. It's a small price to pay to alert the reader that what they read might be false. -- Zondor (talk) 14:16, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Your additions are forcing action in many cases where no discussion is required because it's already happened and ended, sometimes long ago. There is simply no point adding the tags in these cases. You need to ensure that discussion is required before adding these tags or else the edits are not constructive. A single generic question on a talk page, such as this, is insufficient justification for interrupting articles with an "in your face" template. Perhaps you would be better off engaging in the discussion on the talk page first, rather than trying to mandate one with your template. Above all, you need to explain why you are adding the template with an edit summary, if you think the addition is justified. --AussieLegend (talk) 14:34, 10 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I have not correctly utilised the / properly, but note that is rather stable and well accepted. For some articles, I had simply replaced  with the new, but they were reverted too by another user. You just don't like the yellow, don't you? -- Zondor (talk) 16:08, 10 February 2010 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Rediff.com.Logo.gif
Thanks for uploading File:Rediff.com.Logo.gif. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4.

You are now a Reviewer
Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 18:27, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

Newgrounds
Yo. I'm not 100% convinced that this was a good addition. The news sources don't really talk about his connection to NG, and being memorialized by Fulp on the site itself aside, his actions weren't an event that really shaped the site as a whole in the 20 years it's been around. I don't think it's within the scope. BLUSTER⌉⌊BLASTER 11:08, 27 August 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Yo Mama (disambiguation)


A tag has been placed on Yo Mama (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G14 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a disambiguation page which either

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".
