The Features

Please restore the article for my (BBC) favorite (PopMatters) band. If it's just a matter of not having enough source material, let me know and I'll edit it, but it would be nice to have a place to start from. I can also say that their music has been used as the background for at least one commercial (CBS), they got dropped from their label for refusing to cover All You Need Is Love for a Chase credit card commercial (an option eventually given to Nada Surf, a band that IS on Wikipedia) and they do the theme to the ABC TV show Carpoolers. This more than meets the standards for a band, because they've toured extensively in England and nationwide in the US. They've also had major US radio airplay with their song "Blow It Out". Here's their page on MTV--Vcalzone 15:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

I hope that you don't get offended, but I started a request for a deletion review.

New Entry for Mike Cooley

I notice that you deleted an entry for the labour activist Mike Cooley a couple of months ago.

I'm in the process of writing a new page, which I will base upon my interpretation of the German WP entry for him [1]. I don't know anything about the original copyright violation you spotted, but I assume that my approach will be okay with you. Any comments would be much appreciated. jxm 02:01, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Draft at MRG

Thanks, that is a great solution. --Kevin Murray 15:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

CSD of Image:Jonouchi Linework.jpg

Hi. I was wondering if you could reconsider the CSD for Image:Jonouchi Linework.jpg. Three other images from this same contributer were CSDed as being invalid fair-use and copyright violations: Image:Anzu Linework.jpg, Image:Kaiba Linework.jpg, Image:Yugi Linework.jpg. With this one, someone new to doing CSDed changed the license on this one not realizing the others had already been removed or the copyright infringement. He apologized and suggested I CSD again under the copyright violation, which I did. This image, like the, others violates copyrights and seems to be stolen goods (online distribution of non-public domain art work that is still actively sold and traded). I hope you will reconsider this CSD. Thanks. Collectonian 17:30, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Great Chicken Wing Hunt

You deleted and slammed as advertising an entry I put up on the Great Chicken Wing Hunt, a hunt for the world's best Buffalo Chicken Wing in NY State. I suppose I understand why since at the time the hunt was not completed. However, that hunt has now been completed and received, from what I saw, rather wide local and national coverage. Thus, I would like to put up a new entry about a documentable event that I do think does belong on an internet encyclopaedia. Please advise as to what sort of content changes are needed for the entry to qualify. Thanks. [[User:Salembier|Salembier}] 12:30, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Restoration of Image:MS Paint in Windows 1 and 2.PNG

Hi. I think this image, which you deleted, is necessary to justify the sourcing for Image:MS Paint in Windows 1.PNG. Would you please restore it and help me to keep it from being deleted again? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 18:49, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Mao1970.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Mao1970.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 03:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Copy right authrization

Hello Pascal, You deleted the article "The myth of December 25th" due to copyrights. The author himself wrote an e-mail to me and authorized the publising of it:

Do you need translation sicne it´s in portuguese? Lulu Margarida ^yes? 16:57, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Even if the copyright question is cleared, this is not an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not a publisher of original thought. Any salvageable content should appear in an article about the history of Christmas celebrations. The article as it appeared before its deletion is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Socker

Not sure if you noticed when you removed recent trolling [2] on your discussion page that the user Ps45 [3] , is almost definitely a sock puppet account of the user Ps3ps3, which you recently banned. [4] This puppet account, as well as another sock puppet account you banned, Goldenstatewarroirs [sic], [5] both have modified my user/talk pages in the past, the most recent not necessarily being vandalism, just more trolling, obviously the user retrieved my user name after I reverted vandalism to Philistines made under the Goldenstatewarriors account Brando130 17:04, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

FYI

Please look at this which recently came up on the ANI board. I am also still getting the "reset password" e-mails from WikiMedia, stating that IP address 63.3.10.130 wants it changed. It is now, as you can see from the link, happening with other users. Any way you can stop the IP's in that range (it's also 63.3.10.1 and 63.3.10.2) sending e-mails to wiki@wikimedia.org? This can (and is) get annoying. Thanks, Davnel03 21:34, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I posted the WP:ANI thread. Perhaps a checkuser is needed to confirm that all of the socks originate from the same IP address, followed by a notice to the ISP's admins/abuse desk. Caknuck 21:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

63.3.10.130 resolves to UUNET, the abuse e-mail address is abuse-mail@verizonbusiness.com. Caknuck 21:50, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Image deletion

When you delete an image because it is on commons, would you mind carefully checking to make sure that they have the same name? If they don't, then your deletion removes the image from the article. The image in question is Image:Bell207.jpg, which you deleted, and Image:Bell 207.jpg which is on commons (in this case, the difference is a space between the mfr and model number). If there is a difference, please take the time to fix the article rather than leave it with a redlink where there once was an image. AKRadecki^Speaketh 05:00, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Amy Miranda deletion ?

Hello Pascal,

I'm a bit confused at your deletion of the article on Amy Miranda. She is a well known and awarded producer of online work in the advertising industry. Like other producers I think the article belongs on Wikipedia as it is a good reference of both her work and her background for those interested.

Maybe there is something I can change in the page to have something more appropriate for encyclopedia ? Could you please undelete so that the article may be edited to address your comments?

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Transcendz (talk • contribs) 06:45, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

The article has a clearly inappropriate tone. Wikipedia is not a soapbox and this was clearly written as a promo-piece. Like I said in the deletion summary, I have no objection to a re-created article that is truly attributed to reliable third-party sources and which is not a thinly-veiled attempt at glorification of the subject. Pascal.Tesson 19:17, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

re: Adminship

Thanks for the offer but I think I'll put it off - I don't have nearly as much time nowadays as I did to spend on the project, and my edits reflect that. Crystallina 00:34, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Dearest Pascal Tesson,
Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed successfully with 137 supports, 22 opposes, and 5 neutrals. Your kind words of support and willingness to come to my defense on the ageism accusation are very much appreciated and I look forward to proving you right. I would like to give special thanks to The_undertow and Phoenix-wiki for their co-nominations. Thank you again and best regards.

Undelete "Image:Rocket to Luna 1st Edition Dust Jacket.jpg"

Please undelete "Image:Rocket to Luna 1st Edition Dust Jacket.jpg". The article is now created and moved into the main namespace. The image would no longer be orphaned. Thanks! FusionKnight 04:58, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

My (Remember the dot)'s RfA

I never thanked you for participating in my RfA a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for your support, though unfortunately the request was closed as "no consensus". I plan to run again at a later time, and I hope you will support me again then.

Thanks again! —Remember the dot ^(talk) 06:39, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Undelete "Image:Stadium Beyond the Stars 1st Edition Dust Jacket.jpg"

Please undelete this image. The article Mel Hunter (the artist who created the illustration) now references this image. When the image is undeleted, I will add another fair use rationale for this article. Thanks in advance! FusionKnight 03:48, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Old Troll, New Tricks

Would you mind taking a look at some of the recent edits [6] from our old buddy Beko. On a couple of recent occasions, he has either undone vandalism within a minute or two in the pages he usually haunts or requested a page protection immediately following an event of vandalism. Not surprisingly, the anon vandals fall in the same IP range (usually 86.something or 81.something) and share Beko's spelling oddities. The most obvious case is the edits to TUGs on November 13 - the page is vandalized at 20:11, and Beko makes his first edit of the day to undo it one minute later, which he follows up with a request for the page to be protected. A similar thing happened on the 16th - Fireman Sam is vandalized at 20:54, a bot immediately reverts it, and Beko asks for protection a few minutes later. I don't know if you have checkuser permission, but I'd bet my house his IP matches the anon vandal.

The section title is a bit deceiving, because I think he's done similar stunts with some of his shill/puppet accounts in the past [7] [8] [9].

Sorry to bother you with this twit (again), but the behavior is so bizarre that I'm not sure where to report it, and my patience with the reporting process is limited at best. Since you're already aware of this joker, I figured you would be more able to quickly recognize the pattern here than a random admin.

Thanks. Majorclanger (talk) 23:10, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Pardon me for dredging up this old topic, but this guy seems to have returned as Trainboy8. I'm actually Majorclanger, but I suspect that he's been looking at my edit history and don't want to reveal to him just how he's getting caught. This morning this user left a message via a series of piecemeal edits [10] asking if I wanted to be an admin. The writing style and the description of adminship closely match his or his socks' writings ([11], [12], and some more similar stuff that may have been on his deleted user page). I already suspected this was a return of Beko, so I took a closer look at his edits. It certainly looks like he's doing the same trick of vandalisim anonamously (as 86.151.140.65 this morning), quickly logging in and undoing the anon edit. The strongest evidence is probably the highly unusual spelling error (your'e) on several of the anon edits, followed by this warning placed on the anon's talk by Trainboy8 [13] with the same spelling error. Additionally, he's edited a number of pages that were of interest to Beko, most notably the odd combination of Vomiting and Thomas the Tank Engine related pages.

Again, I'm sorry for bothering you again and for digging up a nine month old topic, but considering you have some experience with this guy, I figured I'd try you first. If you need to reply, please leave it here - I'll begin watching your talk as my logged-in self.

Thanks again.

Response Insurance

I understand what you are saying about the images...I mistakenly put the incorrect licensing info on the image.

In regards to the article being an advertisement, I would have to disagree! The only inforamtion given is the name of the holding company, the logo they use, and a survey that they do about driving habits. There is no mention of Response Insurance being better than any other insurance co. and there is also no mention of the rates, service, or why people should switch. This is the first time I have ever posted anything on Wikipedia, but I have made this article as neutral as possible, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what to change to make it more neutral and less of an apparent advertisement. Please advise...--Shawkey3 (talk) 15:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

By the way I do not work for Response Insurance...I am just assisting someone who asked me to do this.--Shawkey3 (talk) 15:40, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Live in Cleaveland

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Live in Cleaveland, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Live in Cleaveland is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Live in Cleaveland, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. To see the user who deleted the page, click here CSDWarnBot (talk) 15:30, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Response Insurance

I disagree with the fact that the section about their national survey is as you call it a "glowing paragraph"...For example the entire Geico page is basically a list of all the commercials they have done, which I think constitutes advertisement. In regards to Response, they conduct a yearly survey on driving habits that is used in various mediums. This is not promoting Response Insurance, it is outlining what the company has done in the past and present. The information used on the Response page is all public knowledge that has no copyright issues...there description of the logo, how they were formed, and the surveys they conduct. This page has been rewritten and all the articles in the survey section have been referenced, and I urge you to reconsider the deletion. In regards to the images that were deleted, I will correct the copyright issue.--Shawkey3 (talk) 16:33, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove CSD tag

Why did you remove the CSD tag for "Fingerskate"? It provides very little information. Thank you.-- Vintei  talk  22:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Yes, maybe you're right. Thank you.-- Vintei  talk  14:58, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the tips

Hi, it's Putnam269. I wanted to thank you for the tips about the song articles. Although I am currently not planning on creating any more articles for a while, in the future, I will make it a point to use your tips. By reading some of the other song-related articles by other users, I can see how I can expand on my articles and will do so in the future. Thanks a lot, --Putnam269 (talk) 05:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

A big sarcastic thanks!

Your page does NOT indicate the importance or significance of what its supposed to do! However, I believe my article on Judith Gibbins was very imformative! I am sure many people would like to know who the heck the voice was of Lara Croft in 97-98 and what happened to her! If you go around deleting pages then I'm sure you can go around re-writing them to make them "indicate" their "significance"

Not a joke

The article William Buckels was not a Joke Article.

Firstly, I changed my username from Davnel03 to D.M.N. a few weeks ago. Now, I see that someone has just started editing under that username, see here. Their grammer is not very good, see here. I'm almost certain the Caleb is editing and has created an immitation account of me under Davnel03. Just letting you know the user has been blocked indef.
