Regarding link removal

Hello,

Several months ago I have added some links to Wikipedia (Film Numud website links from a few country pages, namely Palestine, Micronesia, United States and a couple others, less than 10 in total). After a month or so you have removed the links commenting that they infringe WP:EL and not explained any further how they infringe it.

I explained my position on your talk page which you have never answered and archived my message. Therefore I have reverted your edits believing that you have agreed with my explanations. Now after more than a week you have reverted my edits once again, with the same comment that they infringe WP:EL and without replying anyhow to my previous comment at your talk page explaining that they don’t infringe it.

No other users seem to either support your or my side as when I have added the links they stayed until you removed them and when you removed them they stay until I readded them.

Please note that I have not reinserted all the links you have deleted but I have weighted each link separately and reinserted only the ones I thought to be most valuable.

Please explain your position. I hold my own position on the issue. I believe a vote may be needed (RfC or similar) to establish Wikipedia guideline on this particular website if you will insist, just as guidelines on some other websites are explicitly mentioned in WP:EL.

Previous comment on the issue I made in October:

Hello, I think the website Film Numud that you have removed some links to matches the link guidelines. Namely it includes content that would not be reproduced on Wikipedia and in that sense is similar to such websites as CIA World Factbook, travel guides, etc. The website includes documentary films on various world countries, listed by country.

I have planned to introduce more similar links to Wikipedia not only to this website but others as well, however with such disputes I refrained from editing. Let’s resolve this. Faisal 1918 (talk) 20:20, 26 November 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for reply. I don't think it is a viable option to post at every Talk Page the same discussion although I could if needed. As this is the same website the issues are very similar whether it would be link from article United Arab Emirates or Israel. I also noticed you have removed even the link from List of documentary films about the People's Republic of China even though another similar link is also there to "China Docs" website (but the "China Docs" site shows more anti-PRC films whether the one I put in shows more neutral films). Therefore I think it may be possible to reach an agreement that e.g. such links are acceptable epending on the number of films present. I agree that it is incorrect to put them as the first link.

As you have suggested I have raised the issue at Wikipedia:External_links/Noticeboard. Faisal 1918 (talk) 21:30, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Request for autoreviewer to be removed from my account

Hello, I no longer have a need for autoreviewer so could you please remove it from my account? (If you are wondering why I am asking you, it is because you were the first administrator name to pop up on recent changes.) Thank you very much. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 06:51, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Done, though I don't usually deal with account rights so hopefully I did it correctly. If not, I'll try again. =) When I think about it, you're the first one who rights I've changed besides my own. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:57, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

You did it correctly, except I meant Autopatrolled (I am used to the old work) my mistake, sorry. Could you remove autopatrolled and add back reviewer? -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 07:01, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

No problem. You tripled my user rights log length. I'm not sure I can handle that... -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:06, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

Thanks, would you be able to handle my user rights log length if I offered this in apology? ;) -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 08:36, 2 December 2012 (UTC)

I think I can get over it. Thanks for the revert. =) Not sure what prompted it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:30, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Opera turbo...I'll try downloading Opera and see what I get. Since they're open proxies, shouldn't they be blocked or not, or am I missing something? iXavier [talk|contribs] 05:49, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Opera Turbo gave me 141.0.8.158 when searching Google, but editing Wikipedia gave me my regular IP (which is none of these). 141.0.8.158 was last used in 2011... iXavier [talk|contribs] 05:55, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Actually, the service can be manually enabled. So a vandal can use a browser to vandalize using a legitimate service. I'll try reporting to the wiki project soon, not on an iPad. iXavier [talk|contribs] 06:29, 3 December 2012 (UTC)

Do you think the finale of this will be this Sunday or next Sunday? –BuickCenturyDriver 09:05, 5 December 2012 (UTC)

The finale is tonight, don't forget to use {{Survivor season}} if you create the page. –BuickCenturyDriver 02:12, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Contesting a Deletion

You recently deleted EnvisionWith.Me with reasoning "A7: Article about a website, blog, web forum, webcomic, podcast, browser game, or similar web content, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". However, stated article was about a social network, and several networks have Wikipedia pages, such as Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn, etcetera. I am not a part of this entity, the article had accurate and reputable sources, and the content was grammatically correct and factually accurate.

Please clarify why this article did not fit standards, and if there is a possibility of improving the content for potential un-deletion.

Thank You, Masterjedi12 (talk) 22:51, 11 December 2012 (UTC)

Is there a possibility of the userfication of the page temporarily, where notable information will be added? Subsequently, if the article fits standards, it could be restored? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Masterjedi12 (talk • contribs) 14:02, 12 December 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for the barnstar! It is most appreciated. And thank you again for all of the work that you do. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:27, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Copyvio content at userpage

I have been blanking and warning/explaining in the edit summary. You G12. Which should I do? Cheers, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 08:06, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Blanking is normally fine, but since I was going to block the account anyways for being against user name policy, I deleted the user page. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:33, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

Fair enough. Many thanks. :) Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:12, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

No problem. And thank you for your work. =) -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:34, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Barnstar log

I just stumbled across your barnstar log and was wondering if it was self made or if there is somewhere were I can pick up the code for it. --Skamecrazy123 (talk) 11:07, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

I made it myself and maintain it by hand. No templates or special coding. Just me typing. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:32, 16 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk page deleted212.118.224.156 (talk) 14:33, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

Gogo Dodo hi,

I created a talk page which you deleted noting that there is no associated page. It was my understanding that in the absence of a page, creating a talk page was the first step. If I have misunderstood please provide a link to the page telling me how to create a page. Is there anyway I can retrieve that talk page so I don't have to recreate it.

I am having trouble retrieving my password to log in so please reply here.

Thanks Jane

I'm not sure which talk page you are referring to as you have no deleted contributions. If you could tell me which talk page you are referring to, I can give you a specific answer. In general, if you wish to have an article created, but do not want to create the article yourself, you can request it to be created at Wikipedia:Requested articles or Wikipedia:Articles for creation. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:52, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

	I was amazed to see this. I'm very glad to see an admin who fully agrees that admins should hold themselves to a higher standard. Ian.thomson (talk) 01:11, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Indeed, well done! --j⚛e decker^talk 01:54, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Yes--so I'll block this Dodo for a relatively short time. Speaking of which, Survivor: Philippines? Who gives a flying fuck about a bunch of bullshit fake-ass reality TV? Who in their right mind fills an article fill of tripe, and colors? </soapbox> I feel much better now, thanks. Drmies (talk) 04:55, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
