Speedy deletion contested: Orangehaus Records

Hello Mo ainm, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of Orangehaus Records, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article explains what company does and why what the place does is important. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Mr. R00t Talk 22:32, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

Anyways, sorry for the template. I disagree with your tagging of that page and have contested the deletion. Please discuss on my talk page if you disagree. Mr. R00t Talk 22:35, 9 November 2010 (UTC)
I have started an AfD on the article. Mo ainm~Talk 22:04, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
Okay. Mr. R00t Talk 00:33, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Nomination of Blue Planet Writer's Room for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Blue Planet Writer's Room, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Blue Planet Writer's Room until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. The Eskimo (talk) 22:01, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

I didn't create it. I moved the article as the grammar was incorrect.Mo ainm~Talk 22:38, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
I struck out the above notification. Feel free to delete it if you want. The program I used to nominate the article (Twinkle), automatically sent you the notification message. I think you must have redirected moved it at the same time I AFD'd it. Probably just a glitch. Sorry for the bother.The Eskimo (talk) 22:46, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
But if you notice Blue Planet Writers' Room does not have any content...it doesn't exist as an article. Not that I'm complaining, since I wanted it deleted anyway, but I'm not sure if that's what you meant to do. The Eskimo (talk) 22:50, 16 November 2010 (UTC)
Oh well, it's being speedily deleted so...whatever. Nothing to see here, I guess. Sorry again for the bogus notification. I'll see you around the boards :) The Eskimo (talk) 23:24, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Steam hacking

If you see garbage like that again, don't just blank it as spam. It's a phishing attempt. Report it to me; I'll delete and block as needed. DS (talk) 14:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Will do, they had the same content on their user page which I have removed, should it be deleted or just leave it blanked? Mo ainm~Talk 14:50, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I've already deleted it. Don't worry. DS (talk) 13:02, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

United Ireland

Hello, there, Mo ainm. The word "encompass" means "to include entirely or comprehensively". As the island of Ireland does not include the entire territory of the U.K., its usage is clearly wrong in context. I have restored my previous revision. Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:19, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

But it does the island of Ireland. Mo ainm~Talk 19:21, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
The sentence in question reads: "the island of Ireland encompasses the territory of two independent sovereign states: the Republic of Ireland, which covers 26 counties of the island, and the United Kingdom, which includes Northern Ireland." This is clearly wrong - the island does indeed encompass the territory of the Republic of Ireland, but comprises only a portion of the territory of the U.K. Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Agree fair enough. Mo ainm~Talk 19:28, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
Thank you. Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:30, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
The area in question is Ireland and Northern Ireland, the inclusion of the UK is the problem. Might I suggest re-wording the sentence?--Domer48'fenian' 20:17, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
I've changed the sentence around, I hope that gives some more clarity to the area in question.--Domer48'fenian' 20:25, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello again, Mo ainm. I've been following your edits to United Ireland, especially the ones to the economic section. I think that section probably needs to be updated in light of the present economic situation in the Republic of Ireland. I have added some information about the ROI's 2010 deficit, the EU/IMF bailout etc. Perhaps you can take a look? Thank you. Ivor Stoughton (talk) 19:34, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

The use of the image unambiguously fails our non-free content criteria; whether it is being discussed somewhere or not, you cannot edit war to keep the image in the article. Please desist. J Milburn (talk) 12:41, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Could you explain how it does please it appears that it is disputed. Also I am not edit warring.Mo ainm~Talk 12:46, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Don't know where this guy came from but in my opinion he has now broken the 1RR twice and has not engaged in any discussions. Bjmullan (talk) 12:58, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Where "this guy" has come from? I'm in Lancaster, I come from Cumbria. Guess what? I'm human, and I'm reading this. Go away, or stop treating me like shit. Mo ainm, please read the non-free content criteria. There is no rationale for that use. This is not a difficult concept. (And yes, forcing an image back into an article when the issue for which it was removed has not been dealt with is edit warring. Continue, you will be blocked. Not difficult.) J Milburn (talk) 13:01, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
J, I think you need to chill I only asked you a question so why are you throwing out I will block you BS, so until rational is provided the image can not be used is that what you are syaing? Mo ainm~Talk 13:08, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Not a difficult concept. If you are going to force non-free content into articles, it'd be nice if you were even vaguely familiar with our NFCC and/or had some slight respect for them. If there is a discussion about the use ongoing, the fact that you thought that kind of edit appropriate shows you probably should not be taking part... J Milburn (talk) 13:10, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
It is also being discussed here, let the talk continue. --Domer48'fenian' 13:14, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
(edit conflict) Thank you oh wise one, for that inciteful comment glad you are on the case and helping editors in an extremly difficult area of wikipedia policy. Your admin arrogance knows no bounds. Mo ainm~Talk 13:17, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
How is this in any way difficult? It is right there, in black and white. Completely unambiguous. J Milburn (talk) 13:20, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
Criteria can, and often dose change. This just might be one of those times, then again it might not, just lets see how it pans out. --Domer48'fenian' 13:34, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
What the hell are you talking about? The criterion has been in place for years, and there has never been, so far as I know, any attempt to remove it. Have some respect for it, please... J Milburn (talk) 13:39, 25 November 2010 (UTC)

Alternate account?

I noticed that at your user-page you say that this account is "an alternate account for an established user", but you do not mention which one. As a general rule, WP:SOCK#NOTIFY requires providing a link to the other account in case of legitimate use of an alternate account. You have not done so. Why not? Thanks, Nsk92 (talk) 12:22, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

And who might you be? Mo ainm~Talk 13:27, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Err, whatever do you mean? I am just a random user who happened to click on a link to your userpage from the arbcom elections log. Nsk92 (talk) 13:34, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
WP:CLEANSTART, I don't need to declare my old account but I have informed a number of admins who are aware of my old account. Just curious who you were asking the quetion as I didn't recall ever having any interaction with you.Mo ainm~Talk 13:38, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
Ah, OK, thanks. Like I said, for me it was the case of idle curiosity. I was looking at the arbcom elections voter log and I happened to randomly click on your user-name there. You are correct, I don't think we have ever came accross each other before in WP editing. Nsk92 (talk) 13:46, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Done. The issue at the time was that somebody kept removing the uncategorized template without adding any categories at all, just so you know. Bearcat (talk) 18:46, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Yeah seen that in the history thanks I have added 2 Cats to the article. Mo ainm~Talk 18:51, 29 November 2010 (UTC)
