Listen, Mike, have you even READ the more recent issues of [[MAD Magazine]]? Since at least 2000, the issues have shown [[Spy vs. Spy]] in full color, and from what I can tell so far, [[Peter Kuper]] is the only MAD artist who has drawn the Spies in full color.

Dark Signs?
Why Did you delete the Darksigns page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 18:40, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I never did - but if it was anything like the current version, which only consists of the words "Dark Signs is a best discribed as a" and nothing else, then it deserved to be deleted. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
- I was working on editing it as it was deleted. But thanks for explaining. :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 16:48, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm still working on the page don't delete it anymore. — Preceding unsigned comment added by George.Trimm (talk • contribs) 17:07, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- I don't know how much clearer I can be - I'm not deleting anything. I'm simply tagging the article as a candidate for deletion, since at the time I tagged it, it was nothing more than an infobox, with no claims or signs of notability, and no references. If anything, this should be a watning flag to you to either accept that the subject doesn't pass muster to have an article and you need to stop recreating it, or that you need to wait until you have the references necessary before recreating. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:26, 5 January 2012 (UTC)

Still multiple issues?
Hi Mike,
Does my page still have multiple issues? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roschier_Attorneys_Ltd.
If not, I was told the message must be removed manually.
--ChristineShaw (talk) 10:08, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- I see why you are asking here since it was MikeWazowski who twice tagged the article as having issues. I think you'll have better luck getting a response from him if we fix the weird technical glitch that got into your link. The article is at: Roschier_Attorneys_Ltd.. Mike, could you please check the article to see if you still think it is ad-like and promotional, and has sourcing issues? Cloveapple (talk) 19:07, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
OK, thanks Cloveapple! Not sure what happened to my signature, I have used the button in the template... But let's see what Mike says about the article. --ChristineShaw (talk) 09:06, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Thanks Mike
You have deleted part of my life — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.103.59.238 (talk) 18:27, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
- I have no idea what you're referring to. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Speed deletion request removal
Hi. I just thought I'd let you know out of courtesy that I removed your speedy deletion request from the article DirectFix. I don't think it is unambiguous advertising. The article has 4 independent references. I think the article fails WP:NOTE, but as the author points out in the talk there are similar article on Wikipedia about iFixit and iResQ. If these are acceptable then I don't think it would be consistent to nominate DirectFix for speedy deletion. This is just my opinion; please feel free to request speedy deletion again if you wish. NereusAJ (T | C) 00:15, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
- Considering that the user who created the article is named DirectFix, it seems unambiguously promotional to me. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:18, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
Li Shengshun
why do you keep adding a redaction to the Li Shengshun article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kusaga (talk • contribs) 19:15, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
- Because the article is completely unreferenced, and you have shown no significance or notability outside the series. I've reverted to the redirect again, but if you try to restore it, I will nominate it for deletion. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:09, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
The Flintstones (2013) deletion
On my article, The Flintstones (2013 TV series) it says it will be deleted - why? Can you remove the deletion or let me know ways to make the article not get deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by TBrandley (talk • contribs)
- No, I will not remove the speedy notice. The article was originally deleted per the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Flintstones (Fox Television series). Since your version is not substantially different from prior versions that were deleted (including one you did back in December), the CSD G4 tag is appropriate. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:25, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Cuttance
I can't find any mention of him at the site you linked... Peridon (talk) 19:47, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
- The third paragraph is a direct lift from the linked page. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:56, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
Change to Babylon 5 article
I noticed you prefer a season 4 poster of Babylon 5 being used instead of a screenshot of it’s intertitle logo. As the use of a screenshot of an easily identifiable element of the television show (taken from the opening credits) appears to be more appropriate in the infobox television template, and is what is used in all the wiki articles I’ve found on similar television shows, can you provide some rational for removing the B5 logo and replacing it with the poster. I’ve undid your change for the moment, as a poster could possibly be better placed in something like the article on the Babylon franchise!? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minsk59 (talk • contribs) 10:04, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
- I just feel it better represents the series - it shows not only the logo, but the entire major cast. Kills two birds with one stone. Not only that, but as an image created by WB specifically for promotional purposes, I feel its better suited for a non-free use rationale than a screenshot, which was never licensed for such use. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:38, 15 January 2012 (UTC)
Question about Star Wars
When I redid my edit, I did not change the quote. But why are you calling the other edits as "inaccurate"? PRProgRock (talk) 16:24, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- Your changes made such inaccuracies as saying that Anakin's name was Darth Vader as a young slave - this is wrong. You claim that "Darth Sidious" corrupted him - however, as this is discussing plot points added in 1980, this is inaccurate, as the name was not invented until the late 1990s. The first prequel was originally called Episode I: The Beginning - your change of that to The Phantom Menace in that instance is also incorrect, as are your further name changes - they are all contextually incorrect in the forms you have changed. Do not make these changes again. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:32, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- I understand what you are saying, but for one thing, Darth Sidious and Emperor Palpatine are supposed to be the same character. Darth Tyranus and Count Dooku are also supposed to be the same character. And last, but not least, Darth Vader and Anakin Skywalker are also supposed to be the same character. PRProgRock (talk) 17:10, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
- But you have to understand context - if the article is discussing these characters in historical context, your introduction of names introduced 15-20 years later is incorrect - and will be reverted. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:14, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

Daniel Ortiz
Please delete the article of Daniel Ortiz, people still editing and know is consider to delete and I know that people still disturbing so please eliminate, I'm giving you the permission to do it, because I really don't know if you need the permission to do it, Daniel Ortiz (paintball player) this is the article, I placed the tag for deletion... This guy is relevant but eliminate this article and in the future I will make a better article with more relative sources... Paintballxtreme (talk) 19:48, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- I cannot delete articles. However, had you left the article alone, it would have been speedy deleted under the G7 criteria - but since you then went back in and recreated all the content in the article, I think you need to just let the AfD process run its course, as you've presented too many mixed messages about your intentions today. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:50, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
MERKLE ARTICLE
Sorry, I thought I kept deleting the article myself since my computer has been freezing up. I didn't realize it was you. I'm trying to add a section similar to Ernst & Young's Global Structure: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_%26_Young. Can you tell me why I can't add the offices that Merkle has similar to Ernst & Young? Zavila (talk) 20:23, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
- Ernst & Young is in a far different league than Merkle. However, even that article doesn't have a section that lists every single regional office. If you're referring to the gallery at that article, I've removed it for similar reasons. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:26, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Not a problem I understand, thanks for your help - I really appreciate your guidance. Is it ok if I add external links? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zavila (talk • Zavila (talk) 21:28, 17 January 2012 (UTC)contribs) 20:46, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
Football Ramble - Dean Windass Hall of Fame
What is the reason for continuing to delete the hall of fame section? It is referenced and is entirely related and notable when having a discussion on the podcast ---User:Murrayszymanski —Preceding undated comment added 12:51, 19 January 2012 (UTC).
- Wikipedia does not exist to be a repository or backup for the podcast's activities. There is no sign of notability for this "hall of fame" outside the podcast, and it is only referenced to the podcast website itself, which is hardly independent sourcing. There is a section about the hall of fame in the article, and that has never been deleted. However, there is no place for the entire list on Wikipedia - that is what the podcast's website is for. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:02, 19 January 2012 (UTC)
Excuse me
Was there any legitimate reason why you felt that the Tom and Jerry poster images didn't belong on their respectable articles? I feel that they help illustrate their individual subjects without the need for a gross over abundance of non-free material, as many Tom and Jerry shorts articles are currently doing. Sarujo (talk) 03:29, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- Because the style guides set forth in the Animaion Wikiproject (and as seen in most animated cartoon articles) is to show the film's title card in the infobox. I just restored the articles back to the preferred format. MikeWazowski (talk) 06:31, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Mike, I'm not taking advice about edits from a man who thinks he's starred in Disney Pixar's Monsters Inc.!!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lv123jv456 (talk • contribs) 11:19, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- Then I'm afraid you're stuck. The Shadow-Fighter (talk) 17:00, 29 June 2012 (UTC)
on Robert Eisner
how could I enjoy editing here. Mr. Robert Eisner was to became my first contribution; I was kind of proud of that, and I was gathering some more related info on Him. You requested the new entry to be speedily deleted – for clear copyright infringement - how could it be. Please explain it to me. Alberto Veronese (talk) 15:08, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- Because you cut-and-pasted text directly from the Chicago Tribune obituary. That's a clear copyright infringement, and not allowed on Wikipedia - I don't know how much clearer I can make it. However, someone has recreated the article, and in a much more acceptable version. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:14, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- This is false Wazowski. Yes, Cindamuse made then the article; a great page. But it was from a small (first) - bona fide - contribution I started. What I think and saw, was an inappropriate conduct from your side. Alberto Veronese (talk) 17:10, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, right. Please, try to make that an official complaint. The fact that another admin deleted it after I tagged it (remember, I can't delete articles - only an admin can do that) shows that there was merit to the tag. You don't like being called on the carpet for adding a copyvio? There's a a simple solution - in the future, DON'T ADD COPYVIOS. End of discussion. MikeWazowski (talk) 17:31, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

Film festivals
You're trying to delete pages for film festivals that have been around for years but are run by people who aren't up to date with technology. We spent all night trying to increase knowledge of these events and rather than take the time to add information to them you nominate them for speedy deletion? They have every right to be in an encyclopedia that Cannes and Sundance do but don't have studio dollars backing them and when filmmakers try to help them out, someone comes along to take it all away for no reasonn. Why? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.54.4.239 (talk) 18:03, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- Every page you created not only appear to have all the text lifted directly from the respective websites, but all also just so happen to have ties to the movie Strings. Copyright violations and self-promotion have no place here. MikeWazowski (talk) 18:07, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
Kim Man Lui Student
I am inviting the Wikipedia Ambassadors to review the page of Kim Man Lui. Please do not remove the references. The page has been ruined. I am the student of Kim Man Lui and I spent lots of time to get those references. If references in Chinese are not allowed, please let me know rather deletion (as I did not have the copy) and I try my best to look for English reference of my teacher. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nofriends9999 (talk • contribs) 06:18, 25 January 2012 (UTC) Could you please restore the page as before. You of course add notability warning at the head. --Nofriends9999 (talk) 06:20, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, I made the edits I did for a reason. Furthermore, I'd suggest you read up on the conflict of interest guidelines, now that you've admitted your own COI in the subject. MikeWazowski (talk) 06:24, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
Anyway, I called in Cindamuse for help. Many references are in Chinese. Thanks, Kim Man Lui has thousands of students. Thanks. So we cannot write for him? FYI http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Cindamuse#Kim_Man_Lui_Page--Nofriends9999 (talk) 06:31, 25 January 2012 (UTC) I am not going to write or edit anything until Cindamuse says I can write it. Thanks, --Nofriends9999 (talk) 06:34, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
explanation politely requested
Hi Mike,
Can you please provide justification of this edit? [1]
It would have been possible to have done this, either in the edit summary or on the talk page. I think it's a fairly common courtesy to me, as a fellow editor, that you do this. In particular, can you explain, why somebody would be listed by the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Who's Who. Did you do any research yourself? Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- I've generally found most Who's Who to be questionable sources, as they generally require some form of payment to be listed. I cannot speak to the Oxford volume, nor can I read it at present, but based on one line (she was a British psychologist), that's hardly enough to demonstrate notability - hence the tag. MikeWazowski (talk) 22:36, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- Mike, Thanks for your reply. Who's Who does not require payment to be included but is compiled professionally. Oxford DNB is a biographical encyclopedia also compiled professionally (as per the articles on both). They both select their members based on merit alone. She's also the subject of a book by an academic (the same has written some papers on her too). I agree the article is short, and I have not read the book but if I put down some facts like she was the first woman to be awarded a PhD in psychology in Britain, the first female professor of psychology in Britain, is that not good enough? Barney the barney barney (talk) 22:46, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, if you're still not happy with the news sources quoted could you please delete the page in its entirety, rather than keeping a page saying it has been deleted? Thanks Jonquilljones (talk) 09:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- First off, I didn't delete anything, but the page has been deleted. Unfortunately, I can't do anything about the notice that something had been deleted - that's just part of the way Wikipedia works. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:27, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for your reply. Could you delete this talk section so that the title doesn't get picked up by search engines? Thanks Jonquilljones (talk) 16:36, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Would you care for some? I've been enjoying a bowl as I watch this circus unfold before me. This suspense is terrible. I hope it will last. Erikeltic (Talk) 19:02, 27 January 2012 (UTC) |
I found this to be both hypocritical and hysterical - apparently being shown the truth was "unconstructive". Whatever. That block was long overdue. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:57, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Why are you editing this page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Adamdhal (talk • contribs) 19:37, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, I wasn't aware I needed anyone's permission. Considering that I removed text that was a copyright violation, I was entirely justified in my editing. MikeWazowski (talk) 19:55, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Please note that per WP:BLANKING, editors are allowed to remove comments from their own talk pages and these should not be restored. And also note that users who repeatedly restore the same comment to another user's talk page may be blocked for violating the three-revert rule or harassing another user, cf. Wikipedia:Don't restore removed comments. Salvio Let's talk about it! 21:26, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
- However, don't you think it's a bit hypocritical of him to accuse me of posting inaccurate content on his page (which did not happen), and for him to then continually remove a simple request to prove that, while his original allegation remains uncontested? MikeWazowski (talk) 21:30, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

why?
I went back in and posted links to his Endorsement page with Pearl Drums and validated everything I wrote about the guy with links.. What is the problem here?? He is in 2 national bands both are signed to record labels and he has national and international releases? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaoticcreations (talk • contribs) 00:37, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- No, you just posted a bunch of links to various primary sources, not all of which even mention the guy. Nothing you added is from independent reliable sources that demonstrate notability, which is why I restored the redirect. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:39, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Here is actual actual artist link on Pearl Drums - http://www.pearldrum.com/Artists/Drumset-Artists.aspx?id=683 Validated!! Here is the press release on his envolement with Inzane Records - http://keithentertainmentgroup.com/inzanerecords.cfm , if you take the time to read the 1st paragraph it says he is director of A&R.. Bonz - http://keithentertainmentgroup.com/bonz.cfm if you again take the time to scroll down the page to the pictures, thet include band members and postions..
And then there is The Chaos Agent, witch are signed to Inzane Records in the US and Bellaphon Records in Germany - Once again if you just look, it is validated.. - http://www.facebook.com/thechaosagent
The guy is real and the links validate it.. If you look at Allele's facebook pages you can validate that KEG Management is who reps them..http://www.facebook.com/official.allele1 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chaoticcreations (talk • contribs) 00:53, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- You've posted a lot of primary sources, and Facebook is not a reliable source - please read the appropriate guidelines for verifiability and reliable sources. MikeWazowski (talk) 00:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for putting in an effort to find sources. Unfortunately Mike is right that Wikipedia can't use an endorsement page or a Facebook page as a source of information. What is needed for a Wikipedia article is sources such as magazine articles, newspaper articles, or books. If you have some sources like that I'd be glad to help you learn how to use them to back up a Wikipedia article. Cloveapple (talk) 01:03, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
Carrie's Life With Magic
Please do not bite the newcomers, like you did here. I have reverted your edit and instead welcomed them. Acps110 (talk • contribs) 16:11, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry, but the entire "article" is a fraud - there is no program called Carrie's Life With Magic - this is also likely not a new user, but a repeat offender, as there have been a rash of these accounts that try to create fake television program histories over the past few months.

MikeWazowski (talk) 16:29, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
- Userspace is an even less pressing issue than article space, because remember, user's are given wide latitude to do what they please with their user space.

University of Washington - United Greek Council
Hi I am new to Wikipedia and I would like to understand why my article is marked for a speedy deletion. I got the following response from someone who is trying to delete my article.
"This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as an article about a company, corporation, organization, or group that does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject. Note that schools are not eligible under this criterion"
How can I justify that the organization I am try to write about is an important subject? I provided a brief description of the organization and I was hoping to interview some of the members of the organization for a history section later on. You can find my article at "University of Washington - United Greek Council"
Thank you Wilsonlu (talk) 18:22, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- I think you have a misunderstanding about what kinds of articles Wikipedia has. We can't host the sort of original research you are planning to do. If you want to do a series of original interviews it would be best to find a different sort of website to host them, maybe start a blog for your school's Greek history?
- If you still want to write a Wikipedia article on the topic, what you need to get started is sources that Wikipedia will accept. (And finding such sources would show that others have considered the topic important enough to write about.) So to write an article here you'd need to find newspaper articles, magazine articles, or books that discuss U of W's Greek organizations. If you have sources like that I'd be glad to help you learn the basics of writing an article here. If you don't have that sort of source, then Wikipedia is not a good place for your information. Cloveapple (talk) 20:25, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
- There are only two sources that are credible regarding the subject I am talking about. One is from the University's newspaper and the second one is the organization's website. There are no other sources that (I know of) that has reported on this organization. Both of the sources I named are listed and referenced in my article. I was hoping to conduct interviews on the founders of the organization to add additional information in the future. Currently, only information provided by the sources are presented on the article. Wilsonlu (talk) 23:39, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
- If I put the United Greek Council on the University of Washington page, will that be more appropriate for my work? Wilsonlu (talk) 21:29, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
- Adding a sentence or two to the school article would be better than trying to write a complete article on the subject. However if all you have is a student newspaper as a source, I'd still say it's a little iffy. (The organization's own website wouldn't be a very good source for Wikipedia.) If you really really want the information in Wikipedia I'd suggest asking a school librarian for help in finding sources such as non-student newspapers, books, or magazine articles. It's sometimes surprising what you find with the help of somebody who knows how to research.

PRProgRock
I made one of my rare decisions to impose a block of less than 24 hours on them, as it is entirely possible their position could be right ... they're not, as you admitted, adding false information per se, just using a name for a character not used at that point in the narrative. Since that might be defensible under current policy, I don't consider it vandalism.
However, refusing to discuss and continuing to edit this way either against, or in the absence of, clear consensus is undeniably disruptive, so the editing's blockable. In the future, should they continue, report them for that rather than vandalism. Daniel Case (talk) 19:36, 29 January 2012 (UTC)

- The leadership information would be fine for the group's own website, but it doesn't belong in a Wikipedia article - this site does not exist to be a mirror of your group's website. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:01, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Dennis Hollinger
Why did you remove the quote from Dennis Hollinger and what purpoes do the maintainece plates serve, neither of them appear to apply to the article (which was not self-published... I am not Dennis Hollinger)ReformedArsenal (talk) 14:12, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
- The quote is inappropriately placed - that type of promotional opening is fine for a personal website, but completely out of place in an encyclopedic article. The tags were added because you have references to self-published items - his books. The do nothing to indicate notability, just existence. The primary sources tag refers to the school websites - again, these do little to indicate notability, just confirm existence from connected sources. Until you can supply better references, these tags need to remain. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:04, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
MTV Czech, Nickelodeon Central & Eastern Europe
Hello, I would like to ask why you have removed "Coming Soon" aka future programming sections from MTV Czech and Nickelodeon Central and Eastern Europe? These two articles are edited and updated regularely by myself and I have all the information for them first hand, not only becuase I live in this area and watch the feeds at a regular basis. All of the mentioned future programming is accurate and even has been cited by the channels themselves - though there is no available link to prove it. However, the upcoming programming on Nickelodeon UK has been preserved, yet on the CEE feed it has been removed. Jack 6428 (talk) 13:16, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
- Whatever I removed was done because it was completely unreferenced speculation, which (as WP:CRYSTAL states) has no place here. Without proper references from reliable sources, I would feel no hesitation in removing it again. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:28, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Spotware Systems Ltd
Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Spotware Systems Ltd to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Bmusician 14:09, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- While no notability is asserted in the article, I don't think it is advertising. Thoughts? --Bmusician 14:10, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
- This one set off every red flag in my book as far as advertising was concerned - new user account (and possibly connected to the company. as they claimed copyright ownership on all the images used, including the logo), first edit was an incredibly detailed article about a company and its products, complete with a raft of images better suited to an internal article on their website than an encyclopedic article on the company - it's more focused on promoting their products, IMHO.

M Class planet
I just watched the episode of Star Trek: Enterprise where they said that. Here's a link to a Star Trek page that confirms it http://en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Class_M--94.15.42.24 (talk) 18:03, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
- Memory Alpha is non a reliable source, as it is both a fan site and user-editable. However, while the term Minshara is used in the series, nowhere is it specifically stated from a reliable source that Minshara and M-class are the same - not even on the official page at startrek.com.

Do not delete my pages about the members
it took me 2 hours to make those pages. would you please revert on the notability maybe you're right but i don't want the member section on the One Direction page to became huge and filled up with info.

your edit for stipple

- Well, if anything, you should have created a new page, such as Stipple (company) instead of hijacking an existing redirect, as you most certainly did. However, given than the company is a startup of questionable notability and the article had a very advertising tone, and had already been proposed for deletion, I'm not sure it would have lasted long anyway.

Niall Horan
You are dangerously close to 3RR on Niall Horan. Three different editors have expressed a different opinion than you. If you think the article should be deleted for notability concerns, then please file an AfD. CharlieEchoTango (contact) 22:52, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- One is the article creator, the other seems connected, and Barney was just making a WP:POINTy revert after making a personal yesterday. If you'll unprotect the article, I intend to file an AfD on it to force the issue on the redirect - I don't wish to delete it, but I don't believe the kid has demonstrated any significant notability outside the group. MikeWazowski (talk) 23:57, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
- I understand there is a background here, but reverting is still edit-warring - it's not a solution. Unprotected for you to take it to AfD, but please do not revert again. Best, CharlieEchoTango (contact) 00:07, 20 February 2012 (UTC)

- You seem to accuse a lot of users of WP:Point as an argument, but I feel you are doing the same to boost your own definition of "epic science fiction" in the lead of the 2001 article. I've made discussions on the epic film article's talk page which you have ignored. I don't appreciate this and if you want to contribute to the article go right ahead and add citations, try to add a conversation than just deleting me based on speculation.

Hi Mike,
My apologies. As you can see, this is my first time adding links to wikipedia. If possible, I'd like to resubmit. Popcornflix, which is listed as a source on Wikipedia, owns all the rights to these movie titles. We'd simply just like to be added as a reference for your visitors to learn more about the movies you have listed on your site. I'll be happy to resend the links in this format:

Do it for Columbo
As if this were a surprise ... I'd appreciate it if you did not fritter round with this article whilst we are in mediation, Mike. I know how you cannot stay away from yanking my chain when something's cooking that doesn't even concern you ... but please leave it alone. It'll only get reverted anyway, what's the use of you sticking your beak in?--Djathinkimacowboy 04:30, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- Dude, what's your problem? Every movie and TV article I have on my watchlist (and Columbo is one of them) has an IMDB link in the external links section - it's not a controversial edit, I was just following standard practice. I don't need your permission to edit or not edit any article, and this has nothing to do with you, so I'd appreciate you dropping the insinuation that any time we cross paths is meant to be confrontational. Go away. MikeWazowski (talk) 04:37, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
You know, you were right and I was wrong about the whole issue, and I came here to apologise as well as to let you know I admitted this at the MedCab. But I see you just told me to "go away", so I'll do that. I was only going to indicate furthermore, it's a little funny the way you keep showing up wherever I am having a 'to-do'. You picked one heck of a time to decide to go over to Columbo and fix the error, though I appreciate that you did it. It called it to my attention. So, how about this: we each go away from the other? Can you do that? I know I can, and I did it in the past, yet here you showed up again apparently to avoid a confrontation with me, right?....--Djathinkimacowboy 01:31, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

I've declined your A7, as it's a web browser not web content. If the article were about www.herbertsfavourites.gb. where one could download it, yes, that's web content. The prog itself, no, sorry.

proposed deletion of pre-popping article
Hi Mark,
My name is Yaniv Nizan and I wrote the article about pre-popping.
I noticed that while the terms pre-pop, pre-popping and pre-poppable are widely used in the lead generation industry that turns around $4.7 billion dollars annually and employees tens of thousands of people, the definition of the terms is missing from wikipedia.
My main concern is that deleting this article is indicative of a larger problem that can be thought of as a chicken and egg problem. If wikipedia can't define terms that haven't been already defined elsewhere, and others are not willing to define terms not previously defined in wiki then we are at a deadlock. In other words, someone has to go first and formalize terms commonly used by large amounts of people.
Regards,

Apology to MikeWazowski
Hi Mike, I owe you an apology. After a few weeks of reflection as well as reviewing Wikipedia policies carefully, I realized that I was wrong and also misunderstood some of these processes. While I was disheartened that you nominated the My Revenge (band) article for deletion without more discussion about it with me on my talk page; I nevertheless made some poor decisions following the nomination. I do want you to know, that with regards to sockpuppetry - some of the editors on the deletion discussion page who wanted to keep the article were entirely independant of me and I have no relationship or knowledge of them whatsoever. Indeed though, some of the editors who wanted to keep the article did have a relationship with me and liked the article, so they logged on with the specific purpose of wanting to vote to keep the article. I recognize this is not sound Wikipedia policy and I should not have had anything to do with that - but I do want to clarify that it was not me just using separate accounts to support the article, but indeed though some were friends. I apologize for that, as well as my vitriol towards you in on the discussion and talk pages. I am going to take a break, reassess what I'd like to do, and perhaps do some minor editing to other articles for the time being. I wanted to tell you that you're a great editor and a solid contributor to Wikipedia. I am truly sorry for what happened. No excuses at all, I apologize. Sincerely, Vermont Hardcore Punk (talk) 16:40, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
Cash method of accounting
Hello Mike how are you? That paragraph to which you brought my newly created article of "Cash method of accounting" relates to the tax concept, whereas I am writing the article on GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). The only sentence that can relate to my article in that paragraph, which I intend to expand is "Similar definition of cash basis accounting is true for financial accounting purposes". As a practicing CPA I am quite aware of the difference, so, unless you have an argument against it, would you please gently revert your edit which deleted the "Cash method of accounting" article and redirected it into the cash accrual concept? You can also consult the sources that I brought forth. Thanks! Markerdryer (talk) 17:47, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi.
Please excuse my ignorance on this, but if you're going to delete the multiple award nominations lists that I've either added or ammended, why are you leaving the very same list on the Academy Award for Best Director page, which has been up since early 2008 (and was essentially the basis for me doing the rest of them)? Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 00:43, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Furthermore, how does this qualify as synthesis if it's merely a frequency tally? This doesn't qualify as drawing a conclusion not stated in the original source, it's merely a reconstitution of the exact same data. Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 00:46, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Mike, just wondering if I would still be able to get a bit of a better explanation on this with relevant and equitable precedents rather than just an edit summary.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/bank book, term loan, revolving credit, others
Hi Mike,
You prohibited publication of several entries I made last week -- bank book, term loan, revolving credit, etc. Forgive me for any missteps. I've used Wikipedia for years, but am new to editing. I am grateful for its existence, and certainly want to work with you and others to maintain its high standards. This is an important resource that demands high quality and diligent enforcement.
I've since read extensively in an attempt to educate myself. I've read about Conflict of Interest, neutral point of view, verifiability, what Wikipedia is not, copyright compliance, etc.
Please help me understand something. When I posted the article, my talk page (below) stated that I was involved with putting online the Leveraged Finance Primer. I do help maintain the website on which the Primer resides, and I never tried to be deceptive about this. The site does not produce a revenue stream. It has a neutral point of view. It is created by a reporting and research division of Standard and Poor's as a service to the leveraged finance community. It is meant to help that community, particularly students and those new to the industry, in understanding key terms and dynamics. The information is presented in an exceedingly neutral form, by industry professionals. These professionals are not in the business of sales or trading, but rather reporting.
We note that many terms used in the industry are not addressed in articles currently in Wikipedia. The articles are of use to the leveraged finance community. Just as importantly, they are of use to a public that is becoming -- as a requirement against the sort of blindness that caused the financial collapse of a couple years ago -- more educated. As the market changes and becomes more robust, it will be important for the public to understand terms such as a "dividend loan" to perform policing and over watch of the financial community.
There is a subscription-based website that this division of S&P produces. However, we've created this new free website especially to help educate the industry in a neutral way. On it is a "Leveraged Loan Primer" which some experts have put time into creating. This Primer contains terms which those new to the industry will need defined. This is the primary reference which we'll use in creating new Wikipedia entries.
Again, we don't sell S&P services on this site or in the Primer. It is created as an information vehicle only.
We think information on the website and in other internal copyrighted documents can be enormously beneficial to Wikipedia users.
I am working to get complete copyright information so I can supply that as needed when I quote directly or reference the site. I will have permission, but want to make sure all copyright is in order before proceeding. Can you please confirm that once this is available, that I will be able to post this material?
Again, we believe that defining terms and dynamics of this industry -- most not at present addressed by Wikipedia -- is precisely in lines of supplying the community a verifiable resource with a neutral point of view.
Thanks
ORIGINAL "TALK" PLACED ON "TERM LOAN" PAGE-- I originally created this page and provided the reference: http://www.leveragedloan.com/primer/ This is a new online source, expanding upon the hard copy brochure published by Standard & Poor's: "A Guide to the Loan Market," Copyright 2011 by Standard & Poor's Financial Services LLC (S&P) a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. This is the most requested document concerning Leveraged Loans in the $375 billion leveraged finance community. The Primer is written by experts with decades of experience in leveraged finance. The lead writer is Steven Miller, who is Director of Leveraged Commentary and Data at S&P. Among other things, he hosts a Forbes blog dedicated to leveraged finance. He is one of the preeminent authorities in this field in the world. We put the publication online as a service to the asset class and leveraged finance community, and are spending considerable time creating, updating, and adding attribution to Wikipedia articles in this niche area of finance. Again, as a service to those who work and study leveraged finance. We find that many key terms -- such as this, "term loan" -- are not included in Wikipedia. For that reason, I created this short article yesterday, attributing it to the online Primer. We also find that some terms listed can be improved and are therefore pasting in a couple of sentences, where appropriate, to articles in order to provide the Wikipedia community with more detailed and updated info — Preceding unsigned comment added by Misterwl37 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
- The problem was that nearly everything you poster was a direct copyright violation - i.e. a word for word copy/paste of the material on those websites. As to whether it can be posted, it would be better if you were able to supply references to sites NOT controlled by you or your company, so that any conflict of interest/promotional aspects can be cleared up. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:55, 5 March 2012 (UTC)
Mike, I had external links deleted when I tried to link out from certain wikipedia pages to sections of the LeveragedLoan.com's online primer. I thought these links added to understanding of the topic by Wikipedia users. I don't understand why my external links were omitted but those by investopedia were not, especially since investopedia links wikipedia users to its pages with advertisements. (See "high yield bond," and many other pages.)Misterwl37 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:28, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Mike, Some examples of where investopedia linked out to its site (which has ads) to help explain certain terms in wikipedia: "investment grade," "leveraged buyout," "high yield bond," "leveraged finance." When I tried to do the same, linking from "syndicated loan" to our Primer, you deleted that. I think our Primer, written by top industry professionals, offers great information to wikipedia users. Why were we deleted while investopedia was not? Thanks Misterwl37 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:42, 14 June 2012 (UTC)

Please do not speedy tag articles which have interwikis, references and countless more references on their interwikis. This is a fundamental misunderstanding of "no assertion of notability". Rytmus is clearly notable, he's one of the most (unfortunately) influential hip hop musicians in CZ/SK and has appeared all over the idol shows there as a judge, I started that article as a stub because I don't have the time or energy to translate the whole article from cs.wiki yet. As for Kontrafakt, if anything I think this could redirect to Rytmus, because he's the only one who's really notable. - filelakeshoe 17:00, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Mike can you please review the Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto Wikipedia page about a user deleting some valuable websites and in the process blocked my other username SMCKINNON_SBCCT I jsut choose that username not to website or group and I should have unblocked.SMCKINNON (talk) 06:53, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
- Hey Mike, if you connect the letters SBCCT to Scotiabank Caribbean Carnival Toronto, you'll figure out pretty quickly why I blocked that account. On User talk:SMCKINNON SBCCT there is a kind of explanation for the two accounts but it doesn't make a damn bit of sense, and one could actually interpret the events as socking. SMCKINNON, you need to consider that this is an encyclopedia, not a means for you to promote an event with which you appear to be connected. Speaking of which, I just found something else I think is interesting, but I will place that on your talk page. Thanks Mike. Drmies (talk) 16:33, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Page Deletions
"I can do whatI I like, and you have shown no real indications of notability for this on its own - it is up to you to convince us otherwise on the talk page"
Seriously?..
I joined Wikipedia three days ago, read the rules, and apparently know more about this website's policy than a frequent editor who has been here for many years. Contrary to what you say, you can't simply "do what you like" on here. There are rules, and I suggest you read them before deleting articles that I have written.
Flagging is fine, speedy deletion requests are also fine, using the talk page is fine, but arbitrarily deleting articles like you have been is not, because you are not an admin. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ghudner (talk • contribs) 03:39, 15 March 2012 (UTC)

excuse me, but we are the reliable source. We own the name "TwinSister" under trademark laws with copyright and have so informed this other Twinsister who has repeatedly neglected to make a change in their name. They know they must change their name, but for some reason, decided not to. We have been fair and understanding and even told them to add one or two words, but they have still asked to share "our" name. This can not be done. There is only one "TwinSister" and they are form PA not NY, as there is only one "Kiss", one "Heart", one "Styxx"....you get the point.

OK, enough! Why do you think Best of CN is minor? It's a block, CN hasn't done blocks for 2 years now. Plus, it's not a block that airs premieres like most do, it's a block that airs older cartoons. And this is also going to be a Cartoon Planet revival, it'll be hosted by Brak and Zorak, it'll have songs and comedy bits between shows. Andy Merrill confirmed it. It's an improvement for Cartoon Network, when was the last time CN cared for their older shows and characters, huh?

The comment regarding the window panels that were temporarily protected has nothing to do with the building being environmentally conscious. I don't know the real reasons why Mr. Christensen had to provide such negative comment, but I request it to be removed from the Talk section. My intention is not to promote the building, but to mention the actual facts of what the building has to offer. Brickell Financial Centre II, as expressed by Mr. Christensen in the article, is not part of the project and his comments are negative in this regard. I hope this serves as the "neutral" explanation you requested. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.84.105.176 (talk) 00:13, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Hello! about Notability
What's the standard of Notability? --Zhwxy (talk) 02:24, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- There are several standards - has there been significant coverage of the department itself in independent reliable sources? A quick Google search on "Nanjing University Literature Department" shows only 5 unique results, and four of them are all from one source. So no, I'm not seeing a not to indicate notability, which is why I redirected the article to Nanjing University. MikeWazowski (talk) 02:29, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for responding. I konw your questioning. Actually the name 南京大學文學系 (Nanjing University Literature Department) was adopted in 2007. It's former name was 南京大學中國語言文學系 (the Department of Chinese Language and Literature, Nanjing University), or it's a major part of it, and it mainly comes from it. And also the current Nanjing University School of Literature (School of Liberal Arts as offically translated) was also mostly from the former Department of Chinese Language and Literature. -Zhwxy (talk) 02:36, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
I've blocked the abovesaid IP for 31 hours. I've decided to replace your "only warning" message with my block message even though the IP hasn't edited since the "only warning", because any further disruption after your original "last warning" should've warranted a block. With that, and with the other disrupting IP user also blocked, I don't think page protection is necessary at the moment. Deryck C. 17:57, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Thank you for your email. I note that you have removed all my amendments (plus some made by someone else?). I am unable to cite my sources yet, as they are not published. However, there are several inaccuracies and some glaring omissions in the page as it now stands. I am the authorised biographer of George Mitchell, creator of the Black and White Minstrels and as such, I feel a strong need to correct the mistakes in the Wikipedia feature. However, the biography is not yet published. Is there a way I can at least correct the inaccuracies? Thanks for your help. Penny PennyVR (talk) 21:24, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Regarding TWELP vocoder
Hi, I don't understand why you removed the information regarding TWELP vocoder. Users should have complete information regarding all vocoders in the world. If you removed information regarding TWELP vocoder, then you should remove information about other vocoders too. Otherwise, this page doesn't give complete information. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.23.62.214 (talk) 23:37, 29 March 2012 (UTC)

Hi Mike, You deleted much more information than I've added. The information about TWELP was located on the Vocoders page before me. I just tried to wide this information. Please return the information that was before my changing. Thanks, Alex
The Black and White Minstrel Show
Hello Mike,
Sorry you didn't like the truth about the B&W Minstrels. I was there, you see -- even though I'm a Canadian I was one of the lead singers in 2 productions, director of a professional chorus in the Liverpool version (Dec/Jan 61-62), I trained the singers for 3 productions including the Victoria Palace which ran for 10 years, sang on 2 of the LP's and in the recording chorus for the 1961 TV season. I knew everyone involved. George Mitchell did not create the show, BBC producer George Inns did. He devised the format and the total concept of having the men in blackface. Even Mitchell's obituary in The Telegraph, 29 Aug 2002, confirms this. And quoting pop psychologists about embarrassment is certainly below the standards of what Wikipedia should be all about. Why is no one embarrassed about Al Jolson? Read the Wikipedia article about Jolson. Lenny Henry's sudden announcement of 'contractual obligations' doesn't ring true. I knew Bob Luff, who was the money man behind the stage productions and also Henry's agent. He would never have compelled Henry to do the show against his wishes. If Henry's career is declining, and I don't know that, it's certainly a neat way of putting yourself in the limelight. Black performers had no qualms about working with Jolson in blackface. This whole article needs to be rewritten with accuracy. Minstrel62 (talk) 02:51, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Greg Bennett (Graphic Designer)
So what is the best way to get a listing up for Greg that is considered acceptable? Greg modeled his content after other living designer listings on Wiki. This is our first try at all this, and the process has proved to be frustrating, as the info on verifiable sources has been difficult to parse and seems to generate more questions than answers. We pulled in sources beyond Greg's own site for references - external interviews, design shows, etc. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexdotbarber (talk • contribs) 06:50, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
We're No Heroes
Hi there, I recently put some work into the article 'We're No Heroes' that you have removed. It took me a very long time to do and it was without a doubt for the benefit of the article as a whole, making it very much more comprehensible and to the point, easier to read and more reliable. Please withdraw these changes and alter the article back to how it was in it's last edit. Thank you.
- update* it's ok, i have taken care of it all...removed all primary sources and made it more compliant, thank you for your help. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtoriumFF (talk • contribs) 08:45, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
- In actuality, your edits removed a large section about the history of the group without re-incorporating that content into your revisions. I've also noticed a serious problem, in that all your edits seem to be adding poorly referenced promotional content about Jordan Andrews an his company - this is unacceptable, and I've restored the article back to a version before your promotional additions. Please discuss any further changes on the article talk page before you attempt to restore them, as this type of promotional editing is severely frowned upon. MikeWazowski (talk) 13:24, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
The content I added is not in anyway meant to be promotional at all, but informative and to the point. No where in my revisions is there any wording that even suggests some kind of promotional intent. The revisions I had made incorperate recent developments in the groups history and work with Jordan Andrews. Sorry for coming accross confrontational but i promise you this is not my intent, iv'e just tried to fix many flaws i've noticed within this article. All the best and thank you.

P.S: Just a little something to help you in youre desicions to edit this article, I've personally conducted interviews with this group and the original history of this group as written in the article is not acurate nor backed up but relevant references if you notice, so my edit had removed all info that had no relevant references and also cleaned up the groups 'history' which after personally talking to them a while back i am deffinetly sure they would have not wanted included in the article as it was. Sorry again for the trouble, I hope we can come to a middle ground on this, i would very much like to work alongside you in making this an up to standard article, your help would greatly be appreciated!
Also could you please help in either showing me how to add citations and footnotes to relevant referances, what references in the article constitute at primary so we can replace this and get them up to standard. The latest edit is a compremise between the original and the latest edit. Please work with me as a team to get this up to par, I am sure after readin the above messages you will understand.

Hey MikeWazowski
I never said that others do vandalism in this encyclopedia, you said that you, just say in my edits "vandalism PLEASE do not" because all the administrators and users (like you) always call me Vandal without justification, and absolutely NEVER I appreciate the issues here, just threaten me again and again with wicked pleasure.--OliverDF (talk) 15:20, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

1. Most of the anonymous users, and here unfortunately not attempt to identify those who vandalize.
2. Some registered users, and again here unfortunately not attempt to identify and differentiate those who vandalize, vandalize those who do not like me (I've never vandalized here).--OliverDF (talk) 16:13, 30 March 2012 (UTC)

Please refer to my recent messages to you on your TALK page, i want to clear this up and bring this article up to standard working with you as a team to make it the best it can be. so with nothing but good intentions i promise you the edits i have made and adjusted are for the best, they are greatly more acurate speaking from a direct secondary source to this group and the collective of artists involved with them as I have wrote national interviews and articles about these artists, unfortunatly not having the pleasure of meeting them as of yet! So thank you for your care however let us try find a middle ground, i am sure you will be pleased with my last edit but lets try get this up to standard now. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtoriumFF (talk • contribs) 17:00, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Also, I understand that I was not giving reasons for my edits, which from the normal persons perspective such as yourself you would see as some kind of article vandalism, however my edits a re far from it, as stated many times now it is in the total interest of the article. There is wrong information with no relevant references, broken links, mispelled names and words, bad grammer, there has been recent developments that contradict the article of the subject and needed up dating. Etc, I'm sure you can now see I have a genuine interest in making this work with you... — Preceding unsigned comment added by ArtoriumFF (talk • contribs) 17:10, 30 March 2012 (UTC)
Spencer Sacia
Hi Mike, My username is User: HorrorDirector. I am involved in the making of the 2014 horror/slasher film "Internecine", in which Spencer Sacia is both an actor and a director. I have looked it up and the page Spencer Sacia have been deleted two times, the first because it did not conform with Wikipedia's guidlines, and the second for being a blatant hoax. Both were not created by me, and I, not trying to be rude, and not being a blatant hoaxer, am going to recreate this page. If you would like to contact me, please go to my talk page.

Hi Mike, thank you very much for helping me improving the page on Paul Petrie by pointing out shortcomings and potential verifiability issues.
I wanted to ask you if you could be so kind to point out a little more precisely what sections you feel need more work or what statements you think are more problematic, so that I can focus on them. I will add references to his work from secondary sources in the "Work" section, do you also feel his biography needs more work?

Minecon
Dear Mr Wazowski
RE: The minecon controversy (that was a bit of a typo wasn't it) I feel that all of the sources referenced provide ample evidence that the fall-out was a notable part of the event. The information is drawn from secondary sources of proven longevity and reliability. Both PC Gamer Magazine and Edge magazine are substantial and notable publications. Secondly I do not believe that the notability or otherwise of the podcast in question is relevant to the issue at hand. It has already been established by the article that Notch is notable as was MineCon, therefore it merely needs to be demonstrated that the events formed a notable part of minecon, not that every single one of the protagonists are individually notable. The sources are sufficient to establish this, indeed edge magazine not only published a number of articles but also included it in their weekly round-up of notable news[1] and their yearly round of of indie gaming related news which largely discussed minecraft[2].
I hope you understand my position more clearly now and if you have any suggestions of potential refinements to this section they would be very welcome.
Many Thanks

Could you please explain how the series had no connection with the humor magazine? I've always thought it was based on the magazine. - PRProgRock (talk) 15:11, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
- No one's saying it had no connection - this is the problem when you continually change things based on something you're obviously don't know about. There is a distinct difference between your blanket "based on" version to the factual version about the name being licensed. The makers of the Magazine had no input into the show, and apart from one or two instances (noted in the article), the show was *not* based on content from the magazine. I'm sorry that you appear to not be able to tell the difference, but the added detail about the licensing of the name is a necessary point, as the two ways to describe the connection have two different connotations. Your version does not give a true picture of the situation, but the original wording does. Do not change it again. MikeWazowski (talk) 16:47, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

Look, I understand why you are so angry. I'm not being rude, I'm suggesting something. Can you PLEASE stop chasing me around Wikipedia? Let someone else deal with me, okay? PRProgRock (talk) 02:38, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not angry - you just refuse to understand why your edits are problematic, and you continue to edit war, something you promised you would not do when you were unblocked. You're just going to get blocked again if you keep this up, you know. MikeWazowski (talk) 03:50, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Friendly question
I was just wondering, did you get your username from Monsters, Inc.? PRProgRock (talk) 17:53, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- Dude, what do you think? The Shadow-Fighter (talk) 22:43, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
I have no idea what kind of shape the two previous versions were that had those two versions deleted,[3][4] but the current version... though it started off as pretty crappy,[5] has gone through some improvements.[6] What was nominated as a 93-word unsourced stub, is now somwhat better than when I found it. You are invited to revisit the article, and the above deletion discussion. Best, Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 23:35, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
Suggestion?
I noticed that your main user page has been vandalized several times. I would like to suggest requesting permanent protection of your main user page. I'm only trying to help, no offense intended. PRProgRock (talk) 02:06, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
Please try NOT to chase me around this site. PRProgRock (talk) 16:40, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
- Please try to follow the rules, not edit war and complain when you are correctly reverted, and generally try to understand WHY people are reverting your contributions. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:09, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Syfy.png)
Thanks for uploading File:Syfy.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 05:29, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Spy vs. Spy
Listen, Mike, have you even READ the more recent issues of MAD Magazine? Since at least 2000, the issues have shown Spy vs. Spy in full color, and from what I can tell so far, Peter Kuper is the only MAD artist who has drawn the Spies in full color. PRProgRock (talk) 16:58, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion converted to PROD: Boundless Saga of Love...and the Endless Wait
Hello MikeWazowski. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on Boundless Saga of Love...and the Endless Wait to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question - there is not doubt promotional intent, but G11 is for pages actually written in a promotional style. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:14, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Movim
I have left you a message on the talk page. Please let me know if there is anything in particular that is missing on the page. Etenil the destroyer (talk) 18:32, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Spy vs. Spy...again
Listen, Mike, have you even READ the more recent issues of MAD Magazine? Since at least 2000, the issues have shown Spy vs. Spy in full color, and from what I can tell so far, Peter Kuper is the only MAD artist who has drawn the Spies in full color. PRProgRock (talk) 15:06, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
[See this link http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Magazine/SpyVsSpy?from=Main.SpyVsSpy], and read the list VERY carefully, and then you will understand that info about the strip being in full color since Peter Kuper's inception. PRProgRock (talk) 15:35, 6 July 2012 (UTC)
