Speedy Deletion Converted to PROD: Fireside Publishing

Hello ESanchez013, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have changed a page you tagged (Fireside Publishing) from being tagged for speedy deletion to being tagged for proposed deletion. The speedy deletion criteria are very narrow to protect the encyclopedia, and do not fit the page in question. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. Thanks again! StarM 00:36, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Happy belated birthday!

Hey, Duncan. Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Birthday from the Wikipedia Birthday Committee! Have a great day!-- I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page. @ 16:09, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you so much!! —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 15:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey!

Hey, it's been such a long time since I've talked to you! And since I've edited, even. I think it was last November that we were working on that Mexico City plane crash... anyway, how have you been? Thanks for the cookies, of course! I'd give you some back, but they're still in the oven. I can give you the oven, I guess... :P Cheers, Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :D} 05:12, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes! I've been well; busy with school, but well. You're right, it was that plane crash article since we last made contact. And, same here... school work has been killing my editing lately, but I'm glad to back on the Wiki-environment. I could make room for the oven over here! —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 15:47, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

School is a major Wiki-killer, for sure. I've enrolled in university, so that will probably limit my activity even further while I get accustomed to it... oh well, hopefully I can stay active around here and do my bit to help out. Hopefully! :) Master of Puppets _{Call me MoP! :D} 18:46, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

But it does help with our college work, to a certain point. And we always have our RefDesk! —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 20:45, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Badoo

I'm very concerned about Badoo. I noticed your comment in history and frankly it does not go far enough. I have had 2 invitations to join Badoo and on investigation find that the person who supposedly sent the invitation has no knowledge of it. I believe Badoo owes its success to unsolicited emails (spam). I believe the whole article was put there by Badoo and I notice links in references and external links which are blatant advertizing. I made an edit which will probably get me thrown out of Wikipedia but I am very angry about it. If we did this sort of thing in the robotics section it would not last a day before being removed completely.

Sorry if I am out of order. --Robotics1 (talk) 23:46, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE: Please see the discussion page on Badoo. There is no doubt that Badoo is a scam. How do we get rid of it? I have no idea who to contact. --Robotics1 (talk) 23:56, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion

Would you care to explain your action with this edit [1]? Requesting a fair use image to be deleted 1 MINUTE after it was uploaded? That is barely enough time to even add it to a article. TJ Spyke 03:55, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

That time stamp wasn't what I originally saw. I didn't refresh the RC page in time to see that. Sorry. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 03:57, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Kanye West and refactoring of my comments

Hi. What had happened was the comment that I left when adding the protection was subsequently altered[2] by an IP who added the offensive introduction to my comment. You must have come across it after this point. I would gently suggest that it may have been a good idea to check the page history when coming across a comment that seems so out of place/character although the page history is a mess at this point. I have reverted it to what I originally typed. Best. Mfield (Oi!) 15:26, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Oh, my. I am so, so sorry. I have warned the IP address to not refactor comments. Once again, so sorry about that. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 04:28, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for fixing up the Boomhauer image I uploaded. I got the screen shot, but wasn't sure how to get the copyright approved. Hopefully the work you did will meet the wikipedia standards!--Jim Line (talk) 03:14, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

About your page

Your page is fuckin' ugly! Teach yourself that colorful animated GIFs and your Goddamn face popping in on the left is worse than 2005-era Myspaces done by 14 year old girls. 74.178.137.161 (talk) 09:57, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

Please understand that such behavior will not be tolerated on this site. And if you dislike my face, I'm very sorry that I have to please a random person. On one note, that "popping in" face is Jimbo Wales, not mine. Don't talk about the Jimbo. Thanks to him, you even have the right to post here. Now, go away. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 03:37, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

talk pages

i did start that talk page, and there was no need for a page of useless arguing (that i started) to be on that page. so it was mine and i deleted it--Apeaboutsims (talk) 08:02, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

so can i delete it??--Apeaboutsims (talk) 08:06, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Please make sure to follow the talk page guidelines and post new messages at the bottom of the page.

Sorry, but even you started the talk page, other people have contributed to it, and that makes it worthy of keeping. True, you can archive a talk page, but deleting it is not recommended. And, don't call that page your own. Nothing you contribute here is yours. When I said, "your talk page," I was referring to the talk page specified under your account here. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 08:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

Edit conflict No, please do not do that. As I have explained, we keep it there for a purpose. 08:12, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

UAA

I just reverted your latest edit on UAA, becuase I have no idea what you were trying to do. That much text for so little outcome makes it seem like something went horribly, horribly wrong somewhere. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 03:41, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

OMG what the heck happened? I didn't even realize what happened! I just wanted to leave a comment, and it added all that? Sorry. Thanks for the WP:BOLDness. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 03:44, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

So, I figured it out. I "subst"ed the comment template, which apparently, I'm not supposed to do. I should've RTFM'd it first; sorry, and thanks again! —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 03:47, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

(laughs) Don't worry, we all make mistakes. Glad I could sort it out before I went off to bed. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 03:49, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Pull (Mr. Mister album)

Thanks for the prod on this article. I've added a speedy ({{db-repost}}) tag to this article as it has been repeatedly deleted under prod and an AfD. Thanks. - SummerPhD (talk) 03:49, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

WP:USURP

Hi ESanchez. First of all, I wanted to thank you for your recent help in clerking requests at WP:USURP. However, as opposed to leaving a {{clerk note}} asking a user to move their request for rename to another page (in this case WP:CHU), could you go ahead and move it yourself? Many of our requests are from brand new users who may not have grasped all the intricacies of how Wikipedia works and it would help to move things along more quickly. Again, thank you for your help! :) @Kate (talk) 22:25, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Oh, hi! Not, it's not a problem; I'll make sure to do that next time. I just wasn't sure if I was allowed, as the instructions say you need to be a bureaucrat to decline the requests. But, now that I know I can do this, I will. Thanks! —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 21:23, 21 November 2009 (UTC)

No problem, it makes the bureaucrat's job easier (which is why we clerk :) ). Just as long as you don't mark requests with 'crat-only templates ({{done}}, {{notdone}}, etc), anything that makes their job easier is a good thing. :) @Kate (talk) 01:01, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

In response to the WP:CHUU request...

Hi. Thanks for your answer. It's a pity that I cannot use the same account on wp en than on every other project, just because a stupid guy used this :/ But if it's so... Good evening. 62.235.224.126 (talk) 17:54, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Re: WP:AIAV

I saw your alert posted on the AIAV about User:Tinton5 and I suggest you retract it. In no way whatsoever did that user violate or vandalize anything on Wikipedia. That was absolutely uncalled for. --A3RO (mailbox) 05:42, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

It seems to have already been removed; if he wasn't vandalizing, then my interpretation was incorrect, the mistake was caught, and the system works. Sorry. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 05:47, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I was just looking at diffs and found this one. He was being uncivil. Glad we're coming to a halt. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 10:27, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Stop beating a dead horse now. --A3RO (mailbox) 05:35, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Um... okay(?). —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 09:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Random comment

Is there some reason why you have vandalised my talk page and left no comment whatsoever in the edit to indicate why you would do such a thing?

How do you expect someone to use a talk page for it's designated purpose when you randomly vandalise pages over which you have no other influence? Am I to assume that vandalisation of talk pages is entirely in keeping with the workings of Wikipedia? Shall I take that as an open agreement to modify each others talk pages at will? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.81.177.148 (talk) 09:15, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Um... okay. I don't really know what you mean, but I reverted your edits probably by mistake. Sorry. And, I wasn't vandalizing anything. I merely screwed up. For future reference, please sign your comments, both on your talk page and other talk pages with the ~~~~ method. Thanks. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 09:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

As you are freely admitting that you are incompetent, I would suggest that you withdraw yourself from Wikipedia editing. One mistake can have a serious affect on millions of users worldwide. If you are unfamiliar with the workings of Wikipedia it would be advisable to take some time aside and try and learn them before randomly removing content from user talk pages. Although I must assume good faith I find it hard to digest that you randomly appeared on my talk page and accidentally vandalised that page, so in this case I must along with the good faith argument present the counter argument that you are trying to make admin status for yourself by interfering with other users accounts. Whichever is the true explanation, since you have already admitted your incompetence it would be advisable at this stage for you to leave Wikipedia editing until your competence levels are sufficient to avoid editing out user talk pages. Good day. 84.81.177.148 (talk) 07:19, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Cutting in: Editor, I did not call myself incompetent. I admitted to my mistake and apologized. You're making a mountain out of a molehill; a silly reversion of a talk page won't screw up millions of users. Did you hear the one about when the Main Page got deleted? Take a quick look at how that got handled. Now, *THAT* had a serious effect, but their heads didn't get chopped off. I click "revert" on accident and I get called incompetent with a side dish of GTFO? Man, that sucks. But, see, I'll always learn on here; I learned that adminship ain't all that, so that's not my intention; sorry if I disrupted anything. Hopefully, I have your permission to stay on here a little longer. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 05:50, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

I gave him a Level Four warning for personal attacks. If he does it again, report him to AIV. --Thejadefalcon^{Sing your song}_{The bird's seeds} 11:38, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Please start conversations at the bottom of the talk page. :-)

Oh, I didn't mean to sound scary or frighten you. That was just a template, so someone else wrote the message. (But, who? :] ). I do have a tendency to try to sound a bit firm or like a machine sometimes, but that's just part of me trying to be neutral. :-D I'll look at your request, and a 'crat will look at it soon after. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 10:23, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

CHU clerking...

Hey. Thanks for helping around pages like CHU! Just a note; it's generally best to make necessary formatting/cosmetic changes without placing a clerk note on the request. Those requesting a new name are generally inexperienced, and as a result superfluous comments that could generate some confusion should be avoided unless it's crucial. Thanks, –Juliancolton | ^Talk 23:18, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

FFU Templates

Hey. Changing the /doc page for a template doesn't change the template, just the docs for it (if that makes sense). I think it would be better to leave a comma after regards instead of a full stop as the person's signature usually goes after there. Matt (Talk) 07:59, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Alrighty. I've changed the actual templates now. Thanks for notifying me! :-) —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 00:26, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

image upload decline

about http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Files_for_upload&action=edit&section=36 you say: but there's no article to use this on i say: Impossible Mission and btw i would like to raise your attention that an idiot from 93.87.248.201 did modified my section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.21.76.83 (talk) 11:22, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

Okay, the "no article to use this on" was probably a mistake, but you still can't use PD-author on an image of a copyrighted program/software. Please also don't call others idiots. Feel free to request an upload again, but fill out a fair use rationale there. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 00:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Please make sure you sign with ~~~~ right after you post a message; SineBot keeps having to sign for you. Please stand by while I seek administrator help.

The anonymous IP user would like us to upload an image to the Impossible Mission article, which I declined here on WP:FFU. However, he posted a message above at http://pastebay.com/73403 (to access it, just type in "ESanchez013"; case sensitive) where apparently, he is being given permission to use the image. However, this doesn't release it to us under a free license. A little help would certainly be appreciated. —Mr. E. Sánchez (that's me!)^{What I Do} / _{What I Say} 10:39, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

I'll leave your {{adminhelp}} on for more expert advice on how to proceed, but that permission to reproduce is not enough - see WP:Donating copyrighted materials. JohnCD (talk) 11:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. He can donate his copyrighted material through the volunteer response team, by emailing permissions-commonswikimedia.org. He will need to formally license the image, following the format at WP:CONSENT. If the permission checks out, a volunteer will mark the image accordingly.
