Deletion of Equinox Festival page

Hello, you formerly deleted the Equinox Festival page as lacking in notability when hundreds of sites came up with references to the festival. At this point the festival has generated an enormous amount of print and web based press including Timeout London, The Wire, Fortean Times, Reality Sandwich and many many others. Is it possible to reinstate this page? Please let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.11.191.253 (talk) 22:40, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Equinox Festival was clear, you would need to go to WP:DRV. MBisanz ^talk 03:19, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Hello

Hello can be so kind to give me the template for that wikipedia signpost userbox? I tried to get the template by hitting "edit page" and copying from your user page to mine, but It gives me {{User:MBisanz/UBX}} and nothing else, and I went to {{User:MBisanz/UBX}} and couldn't find anything on the page, so do you mind lending me the template for that userbox?

Try {{user Signpost}}. MBisanz ^talk 21:36, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

OTRS

Thanks for the invite, but I think I'll decline for now. I currently have too much going on here (plus the requests for Commons) to take on OTRS as well. Hopefully as some of my tasks here are completed, I'll take you up on the offer later. I appreciate you taking the time to add the OTRS permissions for the images I uploaded. --Happy editing!

terrorist article sock

Patty wack (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA) is Jersay (talk · contribs · blocks · protections · deletions · page moves · rights · RfA)?

See this. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 12:43, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Um, you linked me to a changing diff based on the latest revision to your page. Which diff did you mean? MBisanz ^talk 16:47, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

I HATE that... here, that should do it. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Looks the same to me. Suggesting an indef block. MBisanz ^talk 17:04, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

GATA

Hi. I don't think you should have deleted the GATA page. "Fringe" is a matter for opinion, but is

http://www.stockhouse.com/Columnists/2009/June/1/Raise-the-caution-flags-for-gold,-silver--Got-Gold

fringe? The GATA site is poorly covered by the mainstream media, but that's not an excuse for Wikipedia to ape them and also do a shitty job. If you have to look at one part of the GATA page for proof they're right (since that proof abounds) take a look at what Barrick Gold admitted in court about wanting Sovereign Immunity because they were working on behalf of Central Banks, just as GATA had alleged for years. If these people were "loons," they'd have gone away by now. They're not, so they haven't. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.188.3.239 (talk • contribs)

deleting file without warning

Can you please explain why file File talk:Bobbyhutcherson-joelocke-072007.jpg was suddenly deleted without warning? Can you please provide logical history. This is annoying - the file was used on various pages. --natz (talk) 20:34, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

The page was a meaingless page created by an IP that didn't have to do with the image. It was not the file page which is still at File:Bobbyhutcherson-joelocke-072007.jpg. MBisanz ^talk 20:49, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of physics article

A couple of days ago you deleted a page I created, without warning. I'm just really confused as to why this was done. The page had been scoured through by mathematicians and scientists on wikipedia many times and there had only ever been small issues with the article (such as a mistake in one of the equations by me and the wrong date in one of the attributed journals). The sudden deletion has obviously confused me a bit, and I would like to know how the conclusion of "hoax" was reached, on a page with journal and published scientific paper backing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Anterior1 (talk • contribs) 01:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Black Market Hero page

I was just wondering why this article was deleted as it is for an active band that is currently working on an album. The page will just end up recreated so what was the point in deleting it? --Mikebustraan (talk) 14:04, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

It still existed last I handled it, User:Michig was working on it. MBisanz ^talk 14:08, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

New Jersay sock

User:Patty wack has been vandalizing List of terrorist incidents, 2009 for the past month now. I'm 100% certain this user is another sock of User:Jersay: Patty wack, Somalia, Blue Jays, Terrorist incidents, banned Tuesday2009, same history, Jersay contrib. I know he'll just make a new account after I submit a sock report. Wikifan12345 (talk) 04:05, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Flag of Sweden

Can you please explain why you deleted File talk:Flag of Sweden.svg? That page contained valuable discussion on the sources for creating a correct reproduction of the flag (dimensions, color accuracy, etc). It is now no longer possible to follow the reasoning for the file edits in the file history section, which is essential to further improve the file. Please reconsider your decision. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wiklas (talk • contribs) 12:15, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, the version I deleted was

A blue flag that has a yellow vertical line on it
and dezire wood wrote this

There is an older version that references actual measurements, I'll restore that version. MBisanz ^talk 12:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Wow, you're fast! Thanks. Wiklas (talk) 12:24, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to keep nagging about this. I noticed you restored a version from August 30, 2008 with one line of talk. Could you try finding a version after my last edit of the file on February 3, 2009? I remember there were contributions from several people, and I added my own. Alternatively, just inform me where I should go to request earlier version of discussion pages. After all, you only cleaned up some junk so you shouldn't have to deal with this. Thanks again! Wiklas (talk) 13:21, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, there aren't any other contributions after that date. Also, you have never edited that page, unless you edited it under an IP. Could you have it confused with a different page? MBisanz ^talk 13:27, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. Apparently this Wikipedia page comes from Wikimedia. The discussion there is intact. My mistake, I'm very sorry for causing you trouble. Wiklas (talk) 13:48, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

No problem at all. Feel free to ask me anything, anytime. MBisanz ^talk 13:51, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

High Reaches Weyr

Hello! I was just about to comment in this one. Anyway, might you reconsider allowing for a history undeletion (to see if anything can be merged) and redirect to Weyr, which was recently kept? Thanks! Sincerely, --A Nobody^{My talk} 13:16, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

I've emailed you a copy of the final version. MBisanz ^talk 13:30, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

File talk:Orly.jpg

Hope you don't mind but I just un-deleted the talk page. It's linked from the top of the Talk:O RLY? page. The page gets several questions as to why the image doesn't exist and it's useful to be able to link to that discussion. Cheers.

Sure, I went ahead an added a template to keep it from getting caught in the database report. MBisanz ^talk 18:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

OTRS image on zh.wp

Please be careful next time and don't change the license of a copyrighted image into GFDL/CC-BY-SA 3.0. We received a complaint email on OTRS from the Hong Kong government's Hong Kong Productivity Council (which is what that copyrighted image used on its article) questioning why you did that. OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 17:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

He may not know the difference in licensing, but you do! Other than US government, I don't believe any other government departments' logo are free-use. And certainly none will license it as GFDL/CC-BY-SA. Common sense tells us he mixed it up, which I have now explained it to him that the licensing he first used was correct (non-free logo).

Barlow's law

Matthew, I added a new reference and further info about the historical significance of Barlow's law, so I deleted the remaining tags. Please take a look and let me know if you think something is still insufficiently explained or supported. Thanks, Ben Kovitz (talk) 08:42, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

How do I indicate I have written a requested article?

Being a Brahms enthusiast, I thought I would tackle some of the requested articles on his compositions (see Wikipedia:Requested articles/music).

So I finished work on one of the requested articles, String Sextet No. 2 (Brahms).

How do I now indicate that I have written the article, so that it comes off the list? The main Wikipedia:Requested articles page makes a brief reference to editing the list, but I'm not sure how to go about this.

Thanks, --CaritasUbi (talk) 21:11, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for writing the article, it is most useful. I have removed it from the requested list here. MBisanz ^talk 21:14, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Strange result on ChallengeYou deletion.

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/ChallengeYou seems to have had a bizarre result. Now I've never heard of ChallengeYou until reading a talk page referencing it, but the current situation is silly. ChallengeYou is a metagame / game designing game. Right now, it's name redirects to List of multiplayer browser games... a list that it is not on because over there they only list games with articles. I would say the redirect should probably go. Cheers, Nog lorp (talk) 22:02, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

thanks!

I have bookmarked that page: That information will be very useful the next time I edit something.
