Why chu deleting my stuff? ~Quatreryn
Revision as of 22:50, 10 June 2014
Freqently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Why have you reduced the size of my file? A: In accordance with Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria 3(b): An entire work is not used if a portion will suffice. Low, rather than high-resolution/fidelity/bit rate, is used (especially where the original could be used for deliberate copyright infringement). If you believe I have made an error in reducing the image, please let me know. If there was no error is the lowering in the resolution, please keep the image reduced and keep it tagged until an administrator has deleted the larger versions of the image.
Q: Why have you tagged my file as {{di-bad fair use}} 10(c)? A: I have tagged it as in violation of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria 10(c): The name of each article (a link to each article is also recommended) in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use. Meaning, provide a fair use rationale on the file description page, every time you use it on a different article. Otherwise it does not meet criteria for inclusion and it can be nominated for deletion.
Q: Why have you removed my image from an article because of 10(c)? A: The file does not have a fair use rationale on the file description page for why it is on that article. If you add a rationale, you are free to use the image on the article once again.
Q: Why have you tagged my file as {{di-bad fair use}} 10(a)? A: I have tagged it as in violation of Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria 10(a): Identification of the source of the material, supplemented, where possible, with information about the artist, publisher and copyright holder; this is to help determine the material's potential market value. A source for where the image was taken from needs to be specified, otherwise it will be marked for deletion.
Q: Why have you added {{deletable image-caption}} to an article? A: This is to notify users that the image next to the caption is a candidate for speedy deletion in a number of days due to problems specified on the image description page.
Q: Couldn't you just fix this image problem yourself? A: While I tag and re-sizing images, I do keep a look-out for things I can fix, rather than tag it for fixing. There is somewhere near 340,000 non-free images on Wikipedia, so I can't do this alone.
Q: Are you an administrator? A: No, I am not an administrator here. I can not protect or delete pages, move over redirects, or block users. For a full list of privileges I have, and projects where I have them, see this page. Also, if you offer to nominate me for adminiship, I will probably decline. I have had a few nominations in the past, the last being in 2006. If I ever run again, it will be a long time from now.

Well the Embassy is for languages more than their location, but thank you, I don't see how that will help much. Also, I am highlighting editors when I link them in my userspace? That seems odd. I didn't think notifications worked in my userspace. Regards, — MoeEpsilon12:27, 6 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, just re-read this since I replied and now realized what you said. Thanks, I'll have a look through it and fill in blanks when I'm done gathering information initially. Regards, — MoeEpsilon12:09, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
the original Palestine Post newspaper of May 16th 1948
hi
Could you please let me know where I can find an original whole copy of the front page of the Palestine Post newspaper of May 16th 1948.
It's for a very dear friend who collects such items.
thanks

Not sure what brought you here on Wikipedia, but I think I can help. Go to this link. In the "Search for Publication" field, choose The Palestine Post. Below that, choose the start and end date for when you are searching. I entered a start and end date of May 16, 1948, and I got 25 results. There you may find what you are looking for. Regards, — MoeEpsilon11:57, 10 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Sfan00IMG: Clearing the images that need moving to Commons should be easy enough, but images that are fair use would need to be cleared by an administrator, since past versions of the image would need deleting (as an unused fair use image). Regards, — MoeEpsilon15:45, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, do you think you can help co-author an article on this CNN journalist? -- A Certain White Catchi? 20:53, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
とある白い猫: Sure, I can help out :) However, I am about to depart on a trip tomorrow and I cannot start anytime soon. I will be back at the end of the month, and then I'll start helping you with your article. Regards, — MoeEpsilon17:45, 21 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I have been posting all over WP, looking for information on User:Alabamaboy, why all information concerning him was erased but have had no success and so I added his username to missing Wikipedians list with as much information as I had been able to track down. Then, you revert my entry with the edit summary saying he hasn't disappeared.
Please provide some explanation about this to back up this assertion. By this, I mean information, rather than a flat contradiction. I'd rather not revert a revert so if I don't hear from you, I'll post on the article's Talk Page and if I get no response, I'll readd his username. Thanks. Newjerseyliz (talk) 15:10, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, well, I saw your revert first so I came to talk to you.
I appreciate your explanation. I looked at list of renamed administrators (heck, I looked at every category there was on the page) and he wasn't listed. I wouldn't have persisted except that it was like everything associated with that accounted had been expunged. I'm aware of the Clean Slate policy but this went beyond this. There is still a User page for that account but no associated data and since the page was not deleted (I'm not sure why not), it was odd that there was no historical record....of anything. I had never run into this before. Thanks for filling me in! Newjerseyliz (talk) 16:43, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
He's not listed on former administrators because all his administrative actions and contributions as Alabamaboy were moved to SouthernNights (where he still is an administrator to this day), so there is nothing to list at former except an old name. The renamed section is for administrators who abandoned an account with contributions (i.e older contributions and administrator logs are still in tact, not on their current name) and simple renamings aren't listed. You'd be surprised, actually, how common the simple renames are where old contributions and logs move to a new name and the old name is just a userpage with no data. It's often done to prevent some kind of harassment at the time or to move away from an older name. Regards, — MoeEpsilon17:32, 12 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Hello! Due to a security update to the wiki software, older versions of STiki are no longer functional. You've been identified as a user of STiki, and are kindly asked to upgrade to the current version at Wikipedia:STiki#Download before continuing with use of the tool. Continuing to use older versions will be detrimental to the STiki project. Please see Wikipedia talk:STiki#Errors for a discussion of this issue or to respond to this message. Thank you! 04:50, 21 August 2013 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't see the message. I saw the message about STiki thread below that when I came on and didn't look above it. Is there anything about your userpage you'd like for me to do specifically? I don't know exactly what you want. :P Regards, — MoeEpsilon15:29, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Accidental reverts are a pain, aren't they? I wish the notification system could spot a self-revert-revert and prevent it notifying the other user. In fact, I'll probably suggest that as a feature. — Scott•talk14:52, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Wouldn't be a bad idea. Sorry about the many notifications. Also, yeah, Danny was later desysopped, resysopped again and he's a current admin, so that's the reason for the first revert. One day I hope to have a complete chronology of adminship completed down to this level of detail. Regards, — MoeEpsilon14:55, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
I was just about to comment on that - as it has plenty of entries for people who are current administrators but have been renamed, shouldn't we include that? I did note in my change that Danny regained adminship two weeks later.
It's good to see your work in progress; I'm currently building a spreadsheet for a complete numeric record of admin status changes, in order to do statistics, and currently engaged in the long process of verifying the monthly counts (which I originally compiled for Wikipedia:Desysoppings by month). That's how I encountered this Danny item. I plan to get the spreadsheet up onto Google Docs soon, and you're welcome to have edit access if you like.
You might be able to help with something, actually - the Thatcher131/Thatcher desysop in 2009 needs untangling. I was able to find where he requested the tools back for "Thatcher", his main account, but not where he requested a desysop, which happened in addition to the desysopping of Thatcher131. Could you help me find it? — Scott•talk15:11, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
The only people who are current administrators who are on the former list are administrators who used a different account all together. See Wikipedia:Former administrators/reason/renamed. The accounts under the former column were desysopped and a new account, the one under the current administrator column, was sysopped later. The old accounts retain old administrative logs and contributions, with one exception (Joy/Shallot, which I detailed on the page I linked). Other renames were superficial, such as your renaming from Hex to Scott Martin, because your logs and contributions and logs as Hex are now as Scott Martin, which is why I didn't include them on the list. I'm going to take a look at the Thatcher situation and go find out what happened. Regards, — MoeEpsilon15:40, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Thatcher131 was purely for testing reasons, if I am reading this correctly. His main Thatcher account was desysopped December 5, 2008 per this, then resysopped per the link you provided on the former list. Regards, — MoeEpsilon15:47, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Of course - I hadn't thought to look at SRP on Meta. Thanks for the find. I've removed that note I added to the 2009 page as it doesn't relate to the Thatcher131 temporary account. And thanks for the clarification regarding renames, I see what you mean. Do you think it's worth adding "see also" notes to entries where related transient changes happened, such as the Danny entry? It's going to be great eventually when absolutely all of the historic details (extant in our records) are nailed down. — Scott•talk15:56, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, I guess I fibbed. There are a few more current administrators who have entries, see Wikipedia:Former administrators/reason/temporary, where some current administrators controlled another sysop account temporarily. Danny does have an entry for his old employee account (Dannyisme) there, but nothing about old desyops of his main account. I really tried to keep it as simple as I could by not including past desysops of current administrators, because people could get confused and think that, for example, Danny is a former administrator when he really is a current administrator. That's partially why I started the /admins subpage in my userspace. I wanted to create a complete chronology and hopefully deprecate FORMER as being more comprehensive. It's my intention to include that level of detail in the main namespace of the chronology, where every sysop, desysop, transfering of adminship from account to account, etc. is detailed. For now, I think just the name of the former administrators is best, IMHO. I wish I had more time to dedicate to completing this chronology. Regards, — MoeEpsilon16:11, 13 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
An RfC about the use of the {{fairusereview}} tag on mainspace pages is in progress here. From 2005 until recently, this template was added to file pages when the non-free status of the file was being discussed. In May this year it was edited so that it could be added to articles. The RfC question is: "Should the template be reverted to the pre-May 2013 version, and retained only for use on file pages?"

Yeah, that actually sounds like a good idea. I'll have a look at it sometime. Obviously as you can tell, I've been late updating the starting quarterbacks page because of various real life commitments that keep me away from Wikipedia a lot of the time. I'll see about expanding that page, it sounds worth while. Regards, — MoeEpsilon23:51, 3 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

For your tireless contributions in a variety of areas, from article work such as maintaining List of NFL starting quarterbacks, a page that requires much clerking as well as writing, to behind the scenes items such as posting to the bureaucrat's noticeboard which admins have been inactive long enough to necessitate desysopping, your contributions are truly invaluable to the encyclopedia, and I hereby thank you for all that you have done in 2013, and all you will do in 2014. For the record, should you ever consider applying for a mop, I would be more than honored to nominate you. Happy New Year! GoPhightins!04:27, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Go Phightins!: Gee, thanks :) It's always nice to know someone is following what I do and thinks that I've done a good job.

Padiddling is, in fact, a real Freestyle technique similar to the nail delay. Finding sources will be difficult but I'll give it a shot. Just a heads-up that you may see it resurface on the article one day. Cheers, Captain Infinity (talk) 04:36, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well if reliable sources are provided, that would certainly be okay. I saw that addition while patrolling for vandalism and I generally revert additions of large amounts of text or sections without a source. The wording of the section seemed a little off too, for the tone of an encyclopedia. Regards, — MoeEpsilon06:16, 1 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

What makes you think that Jack Bullas Smith was the Hofstra basketball coach? I would like to see your evidence that he is the NFL football player. Do you have any? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.55.254.211 (talk) 17:58, 4 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moe Epsilon. This is Colton Cosmic. I was no-warn, no-discussion permanently blocked for socking in May 2012, but I never did it. I feel like the appeal processes have been a real sham and that I've been ganged up on by reflexive block-deniers along the way. I'm looking for an administrator to look into the record, without just going by what others say about me, and to consider unblocking, or bringing up my case for an RFC/U for a broader-based unblock debate. Excuse my IP blcok evasion at your talkpage, but I feel I've no other way to go forward.
Why ask you? Randomly pretty much. Although I think WP:AN/ANI is an awful place that brings out the worst in some people, and attracts some of the worst people, I decided to look for an admin that made a sensible comment there. Once I detected you there, I checked your other recent contributions, including where you urged transparency as a partial solution for the paid editing question. And then I saw in your articles created collection that you were into pro-wrestling, and I am into that too, although I am more into boxing.
I had a single prior account that edited almost entirely content for five or six years. I was never sanctioned, blocked, banned, or even warned. I didn't even know what the drama boards or Arbcom were. I switched for online privacy reasons to "Colton Cosmic," never going back to the prior account. I was 100% straightforward about this from edit #1: [1]. Does that sound like a sock to you? Timotheus Canens said, once he finally said something, that my prior account was my "main" account and that Colton Cosmic was my "abusive" account. "Abusive." Really? I had only a few weeks before being blocked but I at least created Rain City Superhero Movement which was subsequently twice directly linked by Slate.com. I initiated a third opinion community process WP:3O to solve a talkpage argument and politely abided by the result though it went against my strongly-felt position: [2] (toward the bottom but before you scroll).
It is accurate I became momentarily uncivil. I had seen Youreallycan plaintively beseech Nomoskedasticity to stop wikihounding him. This had occurred for two years. It was tracking, taunting, and targeting: Nomo. would drop in for his or her only edit of the day to say catty comments like "it is safe to ignore Youreallycan on this matter" in an article talkpage discussion and so forth. He or she would mockingly call him "darling." The next day or so I chanced across Nomo. arguing for Youreallycan to be banned. My civility slipped and I called Nomo. a "provocateur" ([3]). I questioned whether he or she had ever contributed anything productive to the project. I viewed myself as confronting a cyberbully. It was half a reaction to Nomo. but half a reaction really to what I found this appalling WP:AN/ANI environment where users routinely fight and manipulate the rules to get each other blocked. This is the only particular edit ever cited by Timotheus Canens to justify my permanent block. In your view, does it? I mean, I have done some good in my other edits.
This is too long already. What else? Silktork and Mastcell have concocted theories about some heinous sanctioned or banned editors I'm supposed to have been. I think they have different suspects. There's no truth to that, and certainly no evidence to it. What am I going to do? I can't prove I'm not Trayvon Martin killer George Zimmerman either. We could talk about it, but they don't want to talk about it. Lastly, Moe Epsilon, if you agree to look into this you can unblock me at my talkpage and I'll answer any questions you have. Please allow me to defend any of my edits you find concerning, and perhaps give context to them. Please don't just go by what others say about me. Colton Cosmic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.226.68.186 (talk) 13:13, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Colton. First I'd like to say to you that I'm not an administrator. I know this must be a major buzz kill to have written so much only to find out I can't do much about it. Next, I am sympathetic towards your situation, which I am familiar with having seen previous discussions. However most administrators here are not only not be willing to unblock, but shouldn't unblock. Since the original block was done through ArbCom sanctions (if I am reading everything correctly), then it should be taken to ArbCom's ban appeals. Knowing that you've been through that already, as well as had a couple threads started at the administrators' noticeboard about you, there aren't many avenues left. Considering that, I feel there isn't much that can be done here. I feel like you should stop going under various IPs to communicate to administrators to get an appeal, because it simply won't work. If you are serious about returning ever again, the best thing you can do for yourself is to admit wrongdoings and to come back at a later time. Log in through your Colton Cosmic account a year from now, enable e-mail and e-mail the blocking administrators to see if you can get your talk page access restored, to request a formal unblock. That is the only way I can see you ever being successfully unblocked. Considering the initial block took place in 2012, you should really move on now, and look forward to coming back at Wikipedia at a later time. Take a wikibreak from Wikipedia for 2014 (IP evading and all), and come back later. I know this is a long time, but this is the only way. Until then, you can still appeal to the ArbCom ban subcommitee, however considering you have poked a few administrators in the past couple weeks, it wouldn't be successful. Sorry for the troubles. Regards, — MoeEpsilon18:25, 14 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Moe Epsilon, I just saw your response to Colton Cosmic here. That was very well said. You explained the Arbcom issues in a correct way and suggested what to do next in non-bureaucratic style. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 18:08, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks Ed. I did make one mistake about his e-mail, since he later replied that it was disabled. However, there aren't many avenues left for him now. I fear he may be de facto banned since I don't think anyone is willing to unblock at this point. Regards, — MoeEpsilon18:20, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Writ Keeper: That is good, I feel like that was the best thing to do. I don't think he would be abusive on his talk page and it leaves him one place to go to formally request an unblock. I wouldn't restore his e-mail ability though, because I still feel he will repeatedly message folks like he did as an IP address. At least with his talk page open, his possibility of returning one day is possible, however slim. Regards, — MoeEpsilon18:32, 22 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Moe Epsilon See Notification of Inactivity
This is to notify you all that I am no longer able to take part as an Admin or Contributor, as time has caught up with me and I am now eighty-three years old. Health problems are causing me to cease work on what I always enjoyed as a most fruitful and interesting activity, that of contributing to one of the greatest undertakings I have ever had the good fortune to take part in. I wish all of you well and that Wikipedia may continue to thrive. Dieter Simon (talk) 19:51, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Dieter. Thanks for your time and effort you put into helping Wikipedia. Since you replied before thirty days, it is considered that you are active again. Your message implies you no longer wish to be an administrator or editor, so if you wish to resign adminship formally, you can go to the bureaucrats' noticeboard and formally do it (since I can't help remove the tools for you, sorry). If you don't, you'll get the "pending desysop" messages again in a year and in 30 days after that, you'll be desysopped then. Thanks again for everything. Regards, — MoeEpsilon21:19, 25 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
i got a message but didn't do the edit?
I got a message from you about an edit I did, but I didn't do any edits....
Hi. That message was from the year 2012, so the edit probably came from someone else who previously used the IP address you are using now. I would recommend creating an account to avoid this coming up in the future. Regards, — MoeEpsilon18:29, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Everyone, for allowing a discussion of an award/barnstar removal discussion to take place at all. At best, the place to go is to the Editor Retention project, who awarded it and bring it up. At any rate, there is no formal process of removing awards, and there shouldn't be. Regards, — MoeEpsilon19:47, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
This is unacceptable; your awarding of a trout is a clear attempt to undermine <random dispute resolution process>, and I will shortly be opening an Arbcom case request to demand both the removal of the trout and the removal of your troutapplier user right. *eyeroll* Writ Keeper⚇♔20:58, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Well I think the project can also rightfully ignore Andy, since the user was nominated in November, and that the project is aimed at recognizing good editors so we retain them long-term. Though maybe a trout to the WikiProject, for bad timing, but nothing else. Writ: I'm not knocking your sarcasm or anything, but when I was alerted by e-mail of your message, the e-mail cut your message in half. So, here I am, thankful I was not being seriously admonished for trouting. Regards, — MoeEpsilon21:11, 29 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know why the last line in awards is appearing bigger than the others? It was happening before, and then I added an award and it's happening again to the last line. Enigmamsg19:13, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hello Enigmaman. I fixed the problem in the infobox, it was a few breaks that made the text alter. In that infobox, you seperate awards by using a <br> tag, and you inserted an actual line break, which was causing the problem in it rendering. Regards, — MoeEpsilon20:38, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, ok. That was there before. It was like this before I edited and it had been that way for a while. Someone added an award at some point and used the wrong line break, so I copied that code when adding a new one. Enigmamsg20:43, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Moe, I've just seen your message on the AdminStats talk page. I have decided to make the script display all administrative actions, regardless of sysop status. You should see this with the next update at 10:00 UTC. Regards, — JamesR (talk) 09:30, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, James. Thanks for that, but maybe you could produce both lists on different pages, with current administrators and the current list. I know it wasn't very valuable to me the other way around, but it could be useful information the other way around for others. Just a thought. :) Regards, — MoeEpsilon02:28, 13 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
