User:Arman Cagle/Talk/Template

Just a note: if you want one of your subpages to be deleted just tag it with {{db-u1}} (Twinkle can do this for you- look under the "csd" tab) and an administrator will come and delete it for you. You don't need to start a deletion discussion.Hut 8.5 19:34, 20 September 2011 (UTC)

Just a misunderstanding

I wasn't trying to vandalise the article: Sex & Hollywood. I was just trying to fill in the artwork but had trouble doing it. Sorry to give you the wrong idea. Please don't block me from editing. — Precedingunsigned comment added by The Ride (talk •contribs) 14:12, 23 September 2011 (UTC)

Thank you, Since I am a roll backer, usually I know when IP's vandalize and I usually deal with them all day. I appreciate your honesty.Arman Cagle ^{(Contact me EMail Me Contribs)}

Follow-up on Public Broadcasting Question

Thank you for your very quick reply. Please review the following video http://netnebraska.org/media/media.php?bin=NET&vidgroup=LGLM0000566.

We are required by US Broadcast Law to identify the producer of the video (NET) and also identify the organizations who funded the video (two not for profit companies listed at the end.) I understand this can be perceived as both promotion and advertising. I want to make sure we are within the Wikipedia guidelines before posting relevant videos as external links. Unfortunately, any US Public Broadcaster would fall under the same Federal guidelines.

Thanks again,

Signature

Oh wow, please shorten your signature. There is really no need for explaining any user for contacting you. How disturbing would it be if we all put this in our sigs? mabdul 23:33, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Hello, just dropping by. I appreciate your work, and you're doing a good job reverting vandals; however, would you mind possibly shortening your signature? It's not a huge deal, but the extra text does strike me as a bit extraneous. Again, your desire to appear approachable is great, but we try to keep signatures trimmed down for the sake of space.

Whatever your decision be, it's yours to make - just thought I'd share my input. Cheers, m.o.p 19:47, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Refactoring comments

Why did you remove my response to this AIV report? [2] causa sui (talk) 16:50, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

I didn't think that it was really needed. I mean, The AIV only needs a brief explanation and while it is appreciated that you added more information, it was not necessarily.

Also, I was tracking the IP user too and needed to contact them.

In short, The AIV don't need to have a long explanation and produce that was implied about the edit. Hope this helps. Arman Cagle ^{(Contact me EMail Me Contribs)} Please remember if you have any questions, please reply on my talk page. 17:50, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I declined the report. How is that 'not needed'? It creates the appearance that you didn't like that I declined the report and wanted to mislead other administrators. causa sui (talk) 19:01, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

Actually, I am sorry, I did not know that you were giving advice to another person and that you were an administrator. I thought that the tow comments were made by you. My mistake.
So sorry Arman Cagle ^{(Contact me EMail Me Contribs)} Please remember if you have any questions, please reply on my talk page. 19:16, 29 September 2011 (UTC)

I don't want to beat too much on this, but just to make clear... Removing other people's talk page or noticeboard comments is a really bad idea, whether that editor is a sysop or not. Your opinion that someone else's good-faith input is unnecessary is not a rationale for deleting comments left by others. This is particularly perilous on admin noticeboards like WP:AIV, but I strongly suggest you not do it at all in the future. causa sui (talk) 19:27, 29 September 2011 (UTC)
