Um... I think you misclicked your warning... I rv the vandalism using huggle````

Oops, you somehow got the warning, not the vandal. :/ Reaper Eternal (talk) 12:44, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Tagging of album articles with db-band

Regarding your tagging of On the Ocean EP and Running From a Gamble with {{db-band}}, I have declined the speedy deletion as these articles are about albums, not bands. {{db-band}} is only for artists, not the artist's albums. The related {{db-album}}would not apply in this case either as the artist's articles exist. --Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:16, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, about the incorrect tagging, I reread the relevant guidelines at CSD and don't plan on letting that happen again. Crazynas ^t 05:25, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Not a problem. On a completely different note, I see you were having some trouble with your talk page header. I think your problem was with this line:

<font face="Times new Roman" color="#FFFFFF">

#FFFFFF is white  . I suspect you meant to use black which is #000000 . You can also just use the word "black" as in<font face="Times new Roman" color="black"> . -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:53, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

Fixed the color issue... but now my section headers seem the wrong size? Do you know what my issue could be with that (feel free to change it if you see the problem)? Thanks for the advice. Crazynas ^t 15:54, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I tweaked it. Is that what you were looking for? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:55, 5 August 2011 (UTC)

I might be missing something (that's what a lot of people think...), but I couldn't see any sign of an author request for deletion. You might have hit the wrong category. Happens. I've declined on the user request one - over to you if you want a second go...Peridon (talk) 22:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

I think Huggle bugged out on me although It's possible it was human error (Huggle also failed to message the article creator like it was supposed to) sorry for the incorrect tag. Crazynas ^t 22:44, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Reply to Dragonfly67 message

In response to this, the user was blocked because there were concerns that fall under thechild protection policy. His reasoning, 'the usual', is designed to avoid drawing attention to the blocks. We take this sort of thing very seriously, and there's a lot of private information involved, so I'm afraid I can't be more specific than that. Hope this helps. The Cavalry (Message me) 18:22, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Indeed, I understand that private information in general, and in particular concerning children is something that should not exist on here. The vague action summary's made me question what was going on, as part of this experiment thank you for clarifying. Crazynas ^t 21:34, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

A few questions, if you would be so kind. I'm assuming that is an intentional mislink to CP to avoid What Links Here etc? Is 'the usual' used if (and only if) a block is issued as part of this policy?Crazynas ^t05:19, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

No, sorry - that was a mistaken mislink! I've changed it now. 'The usual' isn't something that we always use, nor is it one that everyone uses, nor does it refer to child protection stuff specifically. It usually refers to a situation where privacy is an issue, so a normal summary can't be made. The Cavalry (Message me) 17:43, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Please RevDel the entries in Particle board until they can be over sighted. Crazynas^t 00:19, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

It is not a BLP article and most comments were not clearly pointed to a certain person (there are tons of such edits in histories around). Why is it important/urgent?Materialscientist (talk) 00:24, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

It seems a violation per WP:oversight... I've already reported it... as referring to possibly real people... but maybe I'm jumping the gun. Crazynas^t 00:29, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Australian Cattle Dog

The ACD standard states "The length of the body from the point of the breast bone, in a straight line to the buttocks, is greater than the height at the withers as 10 is to 9." As for a "non sequitur" the ratio is additional information not an irrational conclusion.Marj (talk) 03:25, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

I apologize, I completely misread that paragraph. although it's apparently the standard that is confusing to me (or the wording of it). I didn't realize it was a ratio, I thought it was a simple statement that 10 was larger then 9... so sorry about that. I've reverted myself, but I wouldn't have |cared if you had reverted me.Crazynas ^t03:42, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

It does need a bit of a re-write. I can see the original editor used the wording of the Standard, but there must be a better way of expressing it. Marj (talk) 03:44, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Just "a ratio of 10 to 9" would provide clarity while conserving meaning? Does this need a citation as a standard?Crazynas ^t 03:53, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Done! Thanks. Marj (talk) 06:06, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
