Welcome to my talk page. I recently archived a few years worth of people's comments. Feel free to leave me messages or even flaming bags filled with poo.

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Instantnood 3

A final decision has been made in the above Arbitration case and the case has been closed.

Undeletion request

Tony, is there a deleted article history at 5th Avenue Theatre? There is a talk page, which indicates there might have been material that looked like copyvio but was being added by the copyright holder. If there is a deleted article there, can you copy it to my userspace? I'd like to work on this article and that material might be useful. SchmuckyTheCat 16:45, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't copy it because it was a copyright infringement. I can, however, point you at the source of the material, which is: http://www.5thavenuetheatre.org/historyandphotos.shtml

It appears to be a word-for-word copy.

If you could write a clean article about this theater from that and other source material, you would be doing Wikipedia a great service. --Tony Sidaway 22:06, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I've taken a whack at it. Hopefully this elleviates any laudible cause for complaint. My writing thesis for such things is atrocious, however, so I'm certain it could use some copyediting.-Zero^Talk 19:38, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways, from comparing articles that need work to other articles you've edited, to choosing articles randomly (ensuring that all articles with cleanup tags get a chance to be cleaned up). It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 01:17, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: What are you doing?

Please kindly take a look at what I reverted, and see what the problem was with those articles. Read also who're the people, apart from me, reverting those articles. Meanwhile, please be reminded to mind your language. Thank you very much. — Instantnood 09:58, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the positive response. Please do read what I've done. If he's not responding, what else I can do? I'd appreciate if you or anybody can give a hand, but not keep intepreting, in a superficial manner, some not entirely properly come up enforcements. — Instantnood 10:13, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Page blocks

As Instantnood is warring over legitimate content disputes I don't think these would be helpful just yet (IMHO). If he doesn't get the hint after a few blocks then permanent page blocks would be a good idea. Ashibaka tock 02:00, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

Cap Hill Massacre

No problem. It's not often I get a chance to work with current events in Seattle, and that's just the kind of story where rumors and speculation can run wild. Good writing otherwise. -- stubblyhead | ^T/_c 03:18, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Image speedy deletion

Regarding the article Image:Seattleshooting.jpg, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "copyvio, images found on CNN are not Public Domain. This picture at CNN is specifically labeled copyright Seattle Times/AP", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This image does not qualify for speedy deletion because only articles qualify for speedy deletion due to copyright violations, images do not. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:CP process. Thanks! Stifle 16:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't know why you believe images aren't speedy deletable. WP:CSD specifically has a section for Images and Media. It is critically important that copyrighted material be removed from Wikipedia, particularly on breaking news stories where photos and graphics of the event made by news companies are considered vital property. This pic has also been deleted at least twice already, so it's deletion of already deleted material. SchmuckyTheCat 17:07, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Images are speedy deletable if they meet any of the eight General criteria or any of the five Image criteria. However, Article criteria don't apply to images, any more than image criteria apply to categories, or redirect criteria apply to user pages. Stifle 17:12, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

question

I would like to upload images of various bands, but can't tell if I can use the pics I found or not. Can you help?

RE: User subpage articles in wikipedia article categories

Keep your subpage articles out of wikipedia article categories. The whole point of keeping non-encyclopedic content in your user space is to prevent it from being linked to from the main Wikipedia. When you put your user subpage in a category, it appears in navigation templates and such.

Your being mentored is not a method to avoid playing by the rules until your mentor tells you to do abide by them. Instead, you should be paying attention to other editors and asking your mentor to clarify what you don't understand. SchmuckyTheCat 07:38, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

What rules say we cannot have user-space articles in article-space categories? I need to read that rule, if such a rule exists.

By the way, I'm curious: How come you didn't notice this article until now? I first put it up under an older username's subpage months ago. --Shultz IV 07:42, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Block

Re: [1] - Sysops can look into the edit history of deleted articles. You can't, but user:ESkog can. First, user:Alanmak did it by a cut-and-paste move. Second, "HK" can be ambiguous, and the template has existed for a really long time at template:HONG KONG. It should not be changed without discussion, for it affects many articles (but user:Alanmak had even modified article using the template). Third, it was done as part of his failed attempt to change how the templates {{HKG}} and {{HKG-PRC}} are used, which has been reverted for many times by many other users. He never responded to messages at talk pages, and he had discarded my requests posted on his user talk page, deleting them by saying "bullshit" in edit summaries. If sysops are helping Wikipedia to be a better project, they should not disregarded the background of dispute, and react simply from what they superficially see. — Instantnood 21:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
