User talk:169.229.65.29

Hey this is just to mention that i believe 169.229.65.29 is simply Hganesan under his IP adress. He is continuing to revert to his previous edits without discussion as well.

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:58, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

For reverting vandalism on my userpage [1]. I guess it's a good sign that so many vandals are determined to destroy my userpage =). AmiDaniel (talk) 06:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

You have new members in your fan club! Though they may not be wanted. :P Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{That's hot.} 05:58, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

No problem; I don't know about you, but I like imposters of me. Shows I'm making a big enough impact to make others want to be me. :P Cheers, Master of Puppets ^{That's hot.} 06:02, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Request

I was wondering if you would mind talking a look at Talk:Hemorrhoid#Image and then looking at User:Yourname's edits to the article. I recently removed the image in question seeing as how that's what most people were suggesting on the talk page, and then he promptly reverted me and left me a spurious vandalism warning. Looking over the article history in greater detail, he seems to be the one who keeps on reinserting the image despite its removal by multiple other editors. Thanks. --Hetar 19:55, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Image:Jellyfish sprain.jpg

Hi, thanks for the advice. How do I go about changing the license for the picture? -- Sprain 05:54, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Image:PigsisPigs0.jpg

You wrote me:

Thanks for uploading Image:PigsisPigs0.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you have not created this media yourself then there needs to be an argument why we have the right to use the media on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the media yourself then it needs to be specified where it was found, i.e., in most cases link to the website where it was taken from, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the media also doesn't have a copyright tag then one should be added. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media qualifies as fair use, consider reading fair use, and then use a tag such as {{Non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair_use. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other media, consider checking that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. PS2pcGAMER (talk) 08:37, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

What are you talking about? The image's licensing is listed there. Jason Palpatine 19:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

to which you wrote:

"Just because you took the screenshot of the image, that doesn't mean you have the right to release the image under a free license. The copyright belongs to the TV/movie studio that currently owns the rights to the film. That is the reason why I removed your GFDL tag. All images also need a source. I just asked you to add it and you did, so all is good with it now. Thanks."

My friend. If I gave you the impression that I was chewing you out, I'm sorry. That was not my intention. I did list the licensing when I uploaded the image. I was under the impresion that was what/all that was needed in regard to source.

Sorry about adding the GFDL tag; I missunderstood it.

Sorry, but you are confusing the hell out of me. Right now I can't tell which way is up and its getting hard to find the door. Any worse, and I'll wake up on the floor.

Queen to Bishop 3

Your move was:

"....You might want to take a look at Wikipedia:Image use policy sometime, although it is quite long. That page will probably be able to better explain image usage than I have. Thanks." --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 03:57, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks back. I think I missconstrued the meaning at the time.

But you're wrong about one thing -- YOU are able to better explain image usage than the page is. IT, like a lot of other such pages, are like reading the DAVINCI CODE or some other such cipher. I can't even makes heads or tails about the userboxes page. Thanks. Is everything ok with the image(s) now? If there's anything else needed, let me know. -- Jason Palpatine 03:43, 27 May 2006 (UTC) 05:25 speak your mind

Yeah, everything looks ok with the image now. If you ever see a confusing statement, just drop a message on the talk page for the article explaining the problem. Hopefully someone will be able to clarify it so that other people don't face the same confusion that you have. Thanks! --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 03:05, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Brian J Connor

Hey, I have created the artical Brian J Connor, but have no connection to "florgus." I saw the artical he wrote and it was all just dumb info. he made up. Brian Connor is a real person, so I figured I would create a real artical on him. I assure you all the info is true. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Unknownx (talk • contribs) 16:35, 28 May 2006.

Hi. I have tried to find the band on google and I got nothing. If you could provide me some sort of verification that they do exist, I'll consider undeleting the article. However, you should read WP:BAND to see if the band meets our requirements for notability. Thanks for dropping me a message. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:51, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Shaq

06:00, 29 May 2006 (UTC)~aduncan8434

Hey, I am webmaster for the website www.shaqattaq.net and every time I add it to the list of links on Shaquille's biography you guys remove it. This blows my mind, considering most of thelinks on there are now outdated and useless. I am on the verge of signing a contract and making this the official Shaq website, which replaces www.shaq.com (which is no longer available) and you guys say I am trying to "promote" my site.... I am only trying to "update" wikipedia to make it more up-to-date and accurate, not promote anything.... I am not vandalizing, but only helping. What am I supposed to do, write another chapter to his biography in order to get a link added? Come on, its getting a bit rediculous. If you think I'm vandalizing then you guys don't need to be editors on wikipedia. You keep removing shaqattaq.net and replacing it with Shaq.com which isn't even a website anymore.

Wikipedia gets spammed countless times a day. Wikipedia editors simply don't have the time to explore why a link was added. If it looks like spamming, then we remove it. When a person continually readds the link without explaining why, then it becomes hard to believe that the link is justified. The solution is communication. We reverted those edits 4 days ago. In between each of your edits, you didn't once try to communicate with us. I realize you are new to Wikipedia and there are a lot of rules to get use to, but that's the solution, communication. Bring it up on your talk page, my talk page, anyone else who has reverted your edits talk page or the talk page for the article. Explain your reasoning as you did to me. Please just don't ignore us and continue adding the link. In a situation such as this, the burden of proof is on the person trying to add the new link, not the people removing the link.

Now that we have gotten that out of the way. Let's take a look at the external link guideline. Specifically, point number 11 (a website you maintain) is of specific interest (note, the numbers have been changing lately as people have been editing it). The guideline is that if your site provides an exceptional resource, then someone will come along and add it. If you feel that it should be in the article and someone hasn't done that yet, bring it up on a talk page. If you feel that other links should be removed, discuss it on the talk page and/or use an edit summary. Anyway, bring this up on Talk:Shaquille O'Neal. Thank you for dropping me a message to explain your position. It truly is appreciated. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:39, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

I know all the laws against personal attacks, but after what you did to the picture of Ricardo Lagos on my user page, I'm gona have to "personally attack" you. Please forgive, YOU BASTARD! Thank you. Ricardo Lagos 00:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Request II

Since your an admin, could you please take a look at Image:Wallis simpson.JPG which will be on the main page shortly (it's already protected). I just noticed that it has no source information, and an obsolete copyright tag. Thanks. --Hetar 18:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I wasn't on until after the day changed and it was off the main page. I meant to drop you a message on your talk page hours ago, but I got caught up dealing with a revert war. Anyway, concerns likes these can always be brought up on WP:AN where another admin can take a look. Thanks!--PS2pcGAMER (talk) 06:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

JimB Comment

Hi, I would just like to apologise for my foolish and non-funny act regarding how i altered Shaq's biography. It was wrong and i won't do it again. Shaq is the man and what i did was not an attack against him. I just picked some celebrity at random and added a false category for him thinking it was funny at the time, disregarding the inevitable consequences. I hope i can continue to make contributions to wikipedia. User:Dbor009 01:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Fake apology above

hi PS2pcGAMER, FYI: the above user made this edit (since reverted) 3 minutes after he made above comment - cheers --Downwards 01:23, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi Downwards. Thanks for looking out for me. I haven't had a chance to be on WP much the past few days, but I really do appreciate making me aware of the situation. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 03:57, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Request for Unprotection

Can you unprotect the Anaheim Hills, California page since that was the title agreed upon in Will Bebacks comments 2 weeks ago. I would appreciate it if you could unprotect it so that I can work on moving the page over to its compromised new home. Thank you. --Ericsaindon2 21:52, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikiproject:Communities

Hey, I was wondering if you would post the WIkiproject:Communities on a couple different bulletin boards, commmunity pages, improvement article pages, etc. so that it can be improved and get noticed. I would appreciate if you would assist me in doing that. Thanks. --Ericsaindon2 21:42, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

My RFA

PS2pcGAMER, thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for adminship, it passed with a final tally of (65/3/3) - which I find both amazing and humbling. I wish I had time to thank everyone personally, but I'm afraid all I can offer is this token of my gratitude. I hope to live up to your expectations/hopes. If at any stage you need to contact me, for help or a request or to point out a mistake in my conduct, please make sure to tell me on my talk page. --Fir0002 08:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

User:Hganesan (yes, again)

After a succession of blocks by numerous admins over the last month, User:Hganesan has returned yet again to Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant. I don't want to waste a bunch of time edit warring with him again, so I'm instead going to try a new tactic. I'd like to get as many NBA editors as possible together on this, so that we can make a single unified push to the appropriate admins. I am at a loss for other tactics we can use to avoid his continued attempts to push his agenda and his unwillingness to compromise. Please contact me at User talk:Simishag if you're interested in helping out. Thanks. Simishag 23:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

What to do about plagerism?

User:Gellersen

User:Gellersen has gone over his 3rr rule on the Anaheim Hills, Anaheim, California page under his name and his sockpuppet IP number 69.109.185.85. I count four reverts today, and he has not been blocked. THis IP number has been noted to be his, and others are suspected to be his, but havent been proven. In all, if all the IP addresses that are suspected to be his were proven to be his, he would have made 7 reverts in 24 hours. Just to give you the FYI. Thanks --OC31113 07:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

user:Coolcaesar

Will you add a suspected sockpuppet master tag to the user:coolcaesar page. He is currently a listed ArbCom Case, and has a suspected sockpuppet, user:Anaheimat but keeps deleting the tag. Until a checkuser is made, I think it needs to remain there. I would appreciate it. --69.227.160.83 07:32, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Intervention in possible edit war on Top Gear

Ericsaindon2 Give it Up

Hello, I appreciate your words on my page. I will give it up. But, I do not live with my mommy and daddy like you assumed. In fact, they live in Seattle, which is where I grew up, so your comment is a little juvenile dont you think? Oh well, I guess I will see you in a year.

Toyota Hilux Image

Please keep the image you uploaded on the Toyota Hilux page and keep it out of the List of Top Gear episodes. Since it's an episode list, it's only fitting to use images from the show itself. --293.xx.xxx.xx 09:29, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for Gran Turismo 4 Car List Excise

I saw someone else insert the car list inline (I think previously there had been a separate article which got nixed for the same reason). I knew it ought to go, but wasn't familiar enough with procedure or citations to feel I could nix the list myself. I stopped playing PS2 games at the beginning of the summer. I was on vacation, and we had household stuff to do, and I had to decide, "Do I quit?", "Do I do an insane amount of gaming?", or "Do I try to strike a balance?". I decided I couldn't strike a balance, so I quit. I was a Gran Turismo addict. Tourist Trophy therefore helped me quit. (Ha! Ha!) I'm too old for that kind of stuff, anyway. I might do some GT4 Mille Miglia's when winter comes, but I've been getting a little exercise in the meantime. Scariest thing is almost how little spare time I do seem to have even after removing such a big timewaster.--SportWagon 18:06, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Responding to Your Message

Hi PS2pcGAMER, thank you for your question. I know you may show some concern about the images. Why I put them as promotional is because most of the time, when I usually do articles, my main source of photos is at the same place where I gather the information for my articles, which is http://www.conceptcarz.com/. Since they're a legit site that's been on for I guess a few years now, I can say that their photos are taken from the webmasters and considered promotional since they are posted on their own site with their site attached to one small side of the photo (I usually crop this out). So basically, they are showing their work in the media, thus considered "promotional" material. Well, if you might have any more questions on the topic, please reply back. Thanks again. The Helper S 03:22, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
