User talk:Maxim

This talk page is officially in Canada. Welcome to Canada.

I am the former Evilclown93. Please distinguish me from MaXim, a highly unfortunate situation created by many factors which I will not list here, but the archives (or this page) should inform you sufficiently. My succesful RfA is located here. I hope I have sufficiently addressed these concerns.

Question..

Hello, I would like to know why you removed the picture of Steven Weston. Rockinfreakapotomi 00:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations

Congratulations, Maxim.--Patar knight 19:01, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio question

Hi, Maxim - I wanted to check with you on this, as the image appears to be copyvio from [1] and the uploader only changed the license from copyrighted to GFDL when the image was marked as a replaceable non-free image. I looked at the source and it has a copyright statement, were you able to find a free license for the image? Videmus Omnia ^Talk 17:30, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

No. Maxim_(talk) 17:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Videmus Omnia ^Talk 17:34, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks a lot, again, Maxim, for nominating me. Much appreciated. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Also - DarkFalls and Melsaran wanted to co-nom (sorry if I already said), so please don't go live until that has kind of happened. Or is that not usual/proper? Cheers -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Ahh well... to late. I guess they will come later. No worries :) -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:36, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

EVula has already posted it. And thats Wizardman that has already given co-nom. DarkFalls and Melsaran also wanteed to, but I guess they will come later. Cheers -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 21:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Very well.

Uncivil? Possibly. But does it matter? You haven't answered the question...why has the Torture in China article been removed? Deleted? Erased? It seems to me that you're abusing your powers of administration...unless you have a very good other reason, you have deleted this article out of personal belief...I'm merely guessing this. And isn't Wikipedia supposed to be neutral? Correct me if I'm wrong. Crazy Eddy 16:31, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Deletion policy I know all about. Of course I've done my research. But...why was it tagged in the first place? The last time I checked on it (which was a long time ago, admittedly) it was a very extensive article...with many important points. So why was it tagged? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazy Eddy (talk • contribs) 16:39, August 28, 2007 (UTC)

Please restore List of collective nouns for birds

I noticed that you deleted List of collective nouns for birds with the justification "Speedy deleted per (CSD a5), was properly transwikified elsewhere." Even if the article has been properly transwikied, CSD A5 specifically only applies to an "article that either consists only of a dictionary definition" (this was a list, not a dictionary definition), "or that has been discussed at Articles for deletion with an outcome to move it to another wiki". However, the outcome of this AfD was to keep. Please restore this article per the AfD. DHowell 03:07, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Please also restore the following, per their respective AfDs:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by subject A-H
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by subject I-Z
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by collective term (2nd nomination)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns for fish, invertebrates, and plants
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns for reptiles and amphibians
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by subject
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by collective term A-K
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of collective nouns by collective term L-Z

DHowell 03:17, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

No, it was prodded afterwards, as there was some traswikification. However, there was a. community consensus to keep, b. You shouldn't prod articles after an AfD unless you've got a very good reason; in this case, TexasAndroid (the prodder) felt he needed to use that system to delete, but I used CSD system to perform the deletion, helped by a script, and c. I've taken this as a contensted prod, and have subsequently restored the article. Maxim_(talk) 13:15, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationales

Hi, Maxim - I noticed this edit, where you removed the "no fair use rationale" tag despite the fact that the image still has no rationale per WP:NONFREE. I restored the tag, please let me know if I was mistaken or if I'm missing something here. Videmus Omnia ^Talk 14:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: CSD I6

I was just working from the bottom up. I can just stop for a few minutes and let you do all you need to. And then just pick up where ever you leave off if you want. Sorry for the hassle. MECU≈talk 14:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Image:Belcourt gates.jpg

I see you removed the deletion tags from that image. Can you explain your reasoning there? — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

The creator could find a free alternative. If I'm having a mental glitch and/or missing something, feel free to delete it. Cheers! Maxim_(talk) 15:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm confused because (as you say) they could find a free alternative, but you didn't delete the image. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:36, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I meant he could not. That's probably my most stupid and confusing typo of the month. Sorry. Maxim_(talk) 15:37, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, that makes sense (I have typos as well). The issue is, this is a photo of a public location, so a free replacement could be created. That's all that is required to fail WP:NFCC#1. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

And consequently nuked. My mistake. Maxim_(talk) 15:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Sarek.jpg deletion

Had the Speedy nominator actually put notices on the pages linking to the image, I would have been happy to come up with a fair-use rationale, especially as Mark Lenard is dead, and hence no new images of him as Sarek can be obtained. Can you undelete it so I can fix this, please? Thanks.--SarekOfVulcan 15:34, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

speedy category deletion

Hello. I see that you deleted Category:St. John's Fog Devils players under WP:CSD#C1. Note that this category has not been empty for four days. A number of articles were just removed from this category today. See these for a few examples: [2], [3], [4], [5]. -- JamesTeterenko 16:55, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

He is correct I used the wrong template by mistake. So feel free to restore the cat if you like and I will readd it in 4 days or just post it in another method since all the categories with this naming standard were long since deleted anyways and almost all the articles that were filling it will be deleted in a couple days anyways. --Djsasso 16:59, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Email

Got it. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 20:49, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Replied too. -- Anonymous Dissident^Talk 20:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I notice you took down the image named above. Can't seem to find the discussion on the removal. Just wondered if you knew what prompted the removal, as it was an illustrative image for an entire section at Evil twin. The character is specifically mentioned by the text, as well. I'm not passionatey sold on the image, but the artcle does cry out for an image of a character with a goatee, such as the one removed. I'd like to know what, specifcally, was wrong with the image so that a second attempt at providing illustraton won't be taken down. CzechOut ☎ | ✍ 22:08, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Did you read the deletion log? Maxim_(talk) 22:47, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Chrisjnelson

Okay, i'm circumventing the boards and just coming straight here - i'm about to go off on this guy - look at this edit summary: [6]. That's about as offensive as it gets! I will gladly provide you with the plethera of other warnings he's had about his offensive statements - but since he refractors half the time and archives the rest of it - it will take a while. I have no patience for this kid (and he's a kid - he's 17). Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  02:38, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Have fun trying to make sense on his talkpage. Maxim_(talk) 02:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Would you clarify that more directly? I can't tell if you are being sarcastic with me for the sake of humor or if you are somewhat offended and making an off-color remark. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  02:45, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I'd say I'm being just a tad sarcastic. See, Ksy and Chris got bickering, so I've protected Chris' talkpage, and warned Ksy. So you can't edit Chris' talkpage for a few more hours. Maxim_(talk) 02:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, he's 19. Evidence of this is Chris' Yahoo! profile, [7], which is available from his user page. Ksy92003(talk) 02:59, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Man, I wasn't even thinking. His user page says he's 20 years old. Ksy92003(talk) 03:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

He has now warn out whatever patience i had with him (which isn't much) - this guy is an offensive troll who has done nothing but dirsupt things here. Okay some warnings (just for NPA -i've left the other ones out) [8], [9], [10] Lmk if you need anymore. Juan Miguel Fangio| ►Chat  03:01, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Maxim - don't call me a troll. You're mistaken. Thanks.►Chris Nelson 11:20, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my Talk page. =) -- Gogo Dodo 06:47, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I also have to thank you. --Oxymoron⁸³ 09:09, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
