RfA - User:AlanH
That's fine. I just mostly wanted the quick-revert tool - any way I can use that w/o being an admin?
I will check out the pages you linked me to and will be sure to contact you about WP:COACH if I want to try to be an admin again. Thanks for the generous offer & kind advice. --AlanH (talk) 15:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Your NPWatcher application
Dear Scarian,
Thank you for applying for NPWatcher! Unfortunately, your application has been declined because you've made only a handful of CSD in December, and not many even earlier, and the denied request are, unfortunately, too many compared to the sum of your nominations. As such, I am uncomfortable in favourably processing your application. We will surely welcome an application in the future.

...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.
In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.
By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.
Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.

Need a project?
Follow my lead actually Antandrus's but... y'know :D 156.34.142.110 (talk) 17:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Just that one article. By my edit summary. An international subject should never have a national cat. A "nationalist" is trying to claim that article for his own country. It is clearly an international subject and should never be linked to any one particular country. Their are probably more pages like this one. This is the only one I am watchlisting. 156.34.142.110 (talk) 19:22, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, you can remove it. I foudnm the reference to chav interesting. I did not know they had their own lingo. Bearian (talk) 13:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Vandalize
I am not vandalizing. You don't even know what trivia or verifiable means, why do you continue vandalizing my edits??? --82.185.106.178 (talk) 16:27, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
I already explained my edits. I can't understand why the section which I added is thought to be trivia, while the information which I removed is not. --82.185.106.178 (talk) 07:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Your opinion
This edit (read the edit summary carefully) is Libs pushing the limits of WP:BOLD and exposing Libsy's "plus grande nads" to all Wiki and seeing just how long it takes a logo crufter to rv the edit. I believe, based on both the policy and the long overdue discussion on it... that the edit is a valid one. Wikipedia, by it's own mandate, is to be a free encyclopedia promoting free-use content when/wherever possible. You just cannot get any more free-use than plain text. Most bands copyright their logos and therefore using them requires well worded fair-use rationale. And if free-use always wins out over fair-use... I think my edit summary is noble, just and true. Time will tell. Do you agree? Do you disagree? Do you have a third opinion. I would be most interested in finding out. And I invite you to go ahead and invite anyone you wish into the conversation. Perhaps the discussion can be moved to my static IP page where it can be an informal chat... rather than a discussion... leading to consensus... leading to guidelines... leading to policies... and all that other Wiki-crap :D . Does free-use always win? I think Wikipedia was built on the foundation of "free-use". What are your thoughts? 156.34.225.75 (talk) 01:41, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
- The discussion continues on both the template page and the WP:MUSIC page. It's really hitting the nail on the head. Wikipedia is for everyone... and free-use always wins out over fair-use. I could have picked any article as a test(I actually did the same test on the Def Leppard article a few weeks ago and it was reverted by a crufter) The Iron Maiden logo does in fact have a very good chance at "fair-use" placement right in the text of the article. Unlike other bands that have their logos corporate designed by record labels' PR departments... Iron Maiden's logo was hand drawn/han designed by Steve Harris very early in the bands career. He had the logo before he had a stable lineup of the band itself. That is an interesting bit of the bands history and the logo could be added in right along with it.... TaDa.... fair-use. Navlos and his school chum are the ones who up'd all the logos and they're the one's who are going to 'racing stripe their diapers' when they see Wikipedia start to eliminate all their hard work. I feel so bad about that :D . 156.34.213.216 (talk) 11:38, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Unfair deletion
Hi there, I see you keep posting a COI on the Rusty Eye article (and now the user Chubbles is threatening to delete it). The page looks fine to me, but if you wish to contribute to provide a "Neutral Point of View", you are more than welcome to do so. For more reliable information, you can contact the PR guy link DMPR or just search thoroughly on the web. There is plenty of good sources and articles around (Metal Edge, Music Connection, LA Times, Metal-Archives, UVTV, Moshking, Ytsejam, Scratch Magazine, Highwire Daze, Rock City News, Voltcase Magazine, All Music Guide, BlabberMouth.Net, Metalraw, Canedo Rock, etc.). If this continues to escalate, the page will be unfairly deleted. Thanks for your time and understanding. Rustyeye (talk) 01:27, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Maybe I shouldn't have reverted that?
Did I just do something I shouldn't have? Please let me know. If I did, I apologize in advance. J.delanoygabsadds 23:33, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- Always know that any edits from 156.34.X are perfect and never need reverting :D .. Right Pat? 156.34.213.216 (talk) 23:35, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- You're damn right, my friend :-D - (Damn EC on WP:ANI - scoot over there and take a look if you haven't already) ScarianCall me Pat 23:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
RE:Okie dokie
Even though the user is continuing to be disruptive (personal attacks) I am still glad you apologized for the warning. That user just came off block too, for "attempting to harass other users". - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
- I don't know about that guy. - Rjd0060 (talk) 04:04, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Apology
Scarian, i would like to apologize for appearing as though i was trying to harass you, i'm just now getting the hang of how to communicate/ reply to other users, with that said and hopefully cleared up, i still can't say i found it right to revert my edit on the AC/DC page because it appears you either never heard of them at all, or know little about them, since the song i noted they performed at that particular concert, Big Balls was an actual song, and one of their most known, which is why i jump to the assumption. Even though you unfairly reverted my noting of what song they were playing when the picture was taken, i'm not going to attempt to edit anymore, nor will i make anymore trouble, or at least knowingly. If i do infact do something do whatever you feel is appropriate. In the meantime, could you or an equally responcible and courteous admin or whatever you are please message me some detailed directions on how to communicate better? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axeman 10 (talk • contribs) 05:31, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Wikistalking is about the disruption of articles not user space but disrupting Wikipedia by following editors and disrupting the mainspace. I think you meant WP:TROLL - the two things are very different. Trolls can be dealt with, Stalkers are not nice and effect the whole community. Bpeps (talk) 12:14, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Nice comment. :) Rudget. 14:13, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
See this guy
This guy here... undo every edit he does. And if he switches to his 77.99 IP range... you can undo those too. Typical POV genre vandal... Ignores WP:ALBUM formatting just to soapbox his POV in. A troll bascially. 156.34.213.216 (talk) 20:55, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks!!!!. What's you better half username... I will blacklist and send vandalism warnings :D. 156.34.213.216 (talk) 21:26, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Hey... thanks again.
Keep an eye on Image:Black Sabbath Logo.png. I tagged it for speedy and added the valid reason in my speedy tag. If someone undoes it... speedy it again. It's not an official band logo in any way shape or form. 156.34.213.216 (talk) 00:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
Message from my partner:
Hello, Pat. I love you. --DeaaaaCall me Gertrude 17:52, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
Also, i'd like to add..
I'm trying to be nice here, but now it seems you're looking down on me, which i don't like, i was just asking you what the best ways are to reply to messages, but i guess this is it, and no, i didn't take the screenshot, but you didn't know for a fact i didn't, and or was at the concert, just as i didn't know you knew nothing about AC/DC, i happen to have a DVD of the concert though, and the jumping angle and position of the two guys looks alot like the one on it, but why make a point to me when i already told you i wouldn't mess with it anymore. Please be a little more understanding, because i actually thought i was being tormented, only to find out that you thought the same, and as far as the "stfu" thing goes, i wrote it in my own my talk thing, but i don't plan on using it anymore so i really don't care how immature it was, if you have anymore comments or questions go ahead, but please give me a little more slack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Axeman 10 (talk • contribs) 23:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)
