Rollback

I Have seen you grant rollback requests How do I request the rollback Feature? ElectricalExperiment 21:16, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Related to this, King of Hearts, you have email at your earliest convenience. Thanks, Metros (talk) 22:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with you partly Kiing of Hearts, although what I actually was intending was merging it with the Calella article.Marenach (talk) 04:31, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ordomag subtemplates

Thanks for unprotecting Template:Ordomag/+ (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs) and Template:Ordomag/0 (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs). They won't need reprotecting because they are no longer high risk. The risk had come through the transclusions of {{ordomag/+}} on

and through these on {{convert}}, {{ft to m}}, {{ft2 to m2}}, {{bbl to t}}, etc., and then on to hundreds maybe thousands of pages. {{Ordomag}} has recently been updated and the subtemplates of {{ft to m}} and {{ft2 to m2}} which had been transcluding {{ordomag/+}} directly have been switched over to the new version of {{ordomag}}. This eliminated the need for the entire array of {{ordomag}}'s subtemplates as noted on template talk:ordomag#Improved version. I'd hoped to have these unprotected so they template subspace could be cleaned up. JIMp talk·cont 05:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've moved the subtemplates to preserve history and put them up for deletion through WP:TfD though they could probably go under CSD G7. JIMp talk·cont 05:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Editing to correct "POV"

Per your closure here [1], how exactly do you edit out POV, when as I thought I had made clear in the nomination and comments, it is the title and premise of the article that violates POV, not just certain certain portions of the text, which if you look at the talk pages is an irredeemable mess anyway (but that was not my motiviation for nominating deletion). MickMacNee (talk) 13:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the deletion arguments, there is still a strong showing for "keep." The Islamic world is a geographical location; for comparison, see List of United States inventions. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The loose and varied definition of the Muslim world has absolutely no comparison to the tight definition of a country like the US, on so many levels. And, even if it were a tightly defined region (i.e. a federation like the European Union or the CIS for arguments sake), why should it override the practice in the example US article you gave, and is widely used in wikipedia for other topics, things by country? This only seems to reinforce the biased opinon that somehow the US is the corrolary to Islam, which makes no sense when listing arbitrary things like inventions instead of more relevant topics. Remember, this is not a particularly societo-cultural topic common across Islam, indeed no explanation is even given for the grouping on these grounds at all, it is merely presented as fact that the relation is notable. Either the list is a list of inventions by muslims (which I believe is probably also barred as NPOV and OCAT, and which this article is probably an attempt to runaround), or it is a list of inventions by country. Anything else is a manufactured correlation in violation of NPOV, not fixable by any amount of editing without keeping the basic violation in tact. What happens if someone lists an invention made by say an Iraqi Christian in this article? Which list would an invention made by a Muslim living in Los Angeles be added to? What has a clock invented in Egypt got in common with an abacus invented in Chechnya? Absolutely nothing. A bizarre closure in my opinon. MickMacNee (talk) 02:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You may take it to deletion review if you wish. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would rather you gave a better explanation here that can be referenced from the article talk page. In my experience deletion review is a waste of time, and not because the deletion is always right. I'm frankly fed up of admins using 'you can go to Drv' as an excuse not to explain their decisions. MickMacNee (talk) 14:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kabi_Nazrul_Government_College

Actually, this is a reverse copyvio .... Banglabhasha.org seem to copy Wikipedia articles sans any attribution. For example, compare Dhaka_Central_Jail with this. They not only copied the article text verbatim, but also copied the photograph that I myself had taken on December 22, 2006, (we had a Wiki-photo shoot trip along with other wikipedians, and uploaded all the photos to Wikipedia).

Looking at other articles, it seems that the website is doing wholesale copying of wikipedia articles. You can verify this by picking any article in the site, and checking the corresponding article/photos in Wikipedia.

So, I request you to restore the article, and in future, note the site as an uncredited Wiki mirror. I'm posting a note to ANB to let other admins know about this. Thanks. --Ragib (talk) 06:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Interesting, I've never noticed that. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:58, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've listed the site on Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks/Abc#Banglavasha. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:05, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Inventions in the Islamic world

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Inventions in the Islamic world. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. MickMacNee (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given the (sadly somewhat predictable) lack of an expansion of your deletion reasoning above, I had no choice. MickMacNee (talk) 18:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Comet

I was editing Comet (song) to add refs while you deleted it, and it was recreated. How does this work now? Ford MF (talk) 02:49, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Uh, wait, SPEEDY DELETION? It was not a copy of the old material, it was the old material with the refs the lack of which caused the previous AfD voters to go with delete. At the very least I think it requires a second AfD. Ford MF (talk) 02:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
OK, I'll relist it. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:53, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've restored the article in the meantime. Please look at the refs before you renotice -- I think the lack of refs was what caused the delete vote in the first place. (I would have voted Keep also, but didn't see the AFD). NawlinWiki (talk) 02:55, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop stealing all the reverts, there are other people on vandal patrol you know! KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:41, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you heard of Huggle? Go get it. Remember back in those days how non-admins had to do all the clicking manually, and then there was Lupin's popups? Now there's Huggle, which speeds it all up exponentially for admins (and rollbackers). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 02:46, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, however, I guess I'm a purest and so will just stick to the good old rollback. I'm just saying, save some for me! ;) KnowledgeOfSelf | talk 02:48, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Damián Manso

I just wanted to let you know that I have closed your AfD nomination as "speedy keep". Why am I telling you this? Because you are an admin and since I think admins have more reasonable judgement than most users, especially when dealing with admin nominations vs. non-admin closures, I would just like to ask if it was okay with you. Please reply here. Thank you.--RyRy5 (talk) 07:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Of course. In fact, I wasn't even !voting delete; it was a procedural nomination. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I was just making sure. Oh, and please stop beating me in reverting vandalism. :P Just kidding. Keep up the good work! -- RyRy5 (talk) 07:25, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Giovani dos Santos

Hey there, seeing as you were the admin who protected Giovani dos Santos I thought I'd ask for it to be unprotected - it is no longer needed as the edit war taking place was regarding a proposed move to another club and some editors were stating it has gone ahead for it actually had. But, this transfer has now been completed and so an edit war should no longer be taking place. Thanks, Mattythewhite (talk) 14:32, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:38, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bear Magazine Article

Somebody has chosen to omit data from the definition of "Bear Magazine" repeatedly. My magazine, 100% BEEF, is the publishing heir to Bear Magazine, which unceremoniously disappeared in 2002. The contributing writers, photographers and artists who created Bear Magazine now contribute regularly to my magazine, 100% BEEF, now entering our 7th year of publishing. A new publisher has chosen to edit and omit references to my publication in the "Bear Magazine" definition, and keeps editing the content to that end, even though 100% BEEF Magazine's information has been part of the Bear Magazine definition for years now. And, when I re-edit the page for accuracy, they report me for "Vandalism". I have not vandalized any Wikipedia Pages; they have. Please help me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rustyspot (talk • contribs) 07:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Claim of vandalism on Bear Magazine

Hi King of Hearts. You recently warned Rustyspot for this edit, which you referred to as vandalism. I think if you take another look you'll agree that it was in fact a good-faith edit made by a user without a full understanding of wikisyntax, not vandalism. Just thought I'd give you a friendly reminder to check these things, especially when made by a new user. Best, Olaf Davis | Talk 10:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I tend to agree with Olaf Davis. The edits were (in my opinion) obviously not vandalism. There is currently a conversation over on the Help Desk by the user who, understandably, has a few ruffled feathers. You may wish to come over there if you would like to unBITE this user. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 13:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nigger Head Island (Queensland)

You just closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nigger Head Island (Queensland) early. That's probably fine. I have asked several times for someone -- anyone -- to point me toward the guideline for notability of places, since I've been unable to find one. Can you provide a link? Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Here are the (proposed) guidelines: Wikipedia:Notability (Places and transportation). -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I saw that one, but it doesn't seem to apply, and it's not what people were arguing in the AfD. I'm not trying to be a dick, but how is an uninhabited small island notable under that guideline? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's currently incomplete; you can help make the guideline more comprehensive. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I could help, but that isn't answering my question. You closed an AfD as keep, but most of the !votes were based on non-existent guidelines? Yet the existing proposed guideline appears to suggest that it wouldn't be notable (lacks significant coverage). Is that a fair assessment? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Generally, (relatively large) places that exist and that can be verified are inherently notable. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By all accounts, this is a small island (see the AfD comments), without significant media coverage, despite its name. If this is "generally" known, how do editors find it out? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:35, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's found in the official Gazetteer of Australia. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Currently logging off ... -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:42, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to give you a hard time about this, I'm just trying to get a straight answer to a very simple question, and you closed the AfD. Yes, I know it's in the Gazetteer. That doesn't change its size, or its media coverage. I keep asking questions and you keep responding with non-answers. Please see my earlier questions. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:47, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I remember reading about notability for places somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. Perhaps you can take your question to the help desk. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:49, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Help!

Dear King of Hearts,

I need your help immediatelly as an administer who edited Galatasaray S.K. recently. I'ev just check the page a few mins ago and realized that there are too many recent changes and almost all of them are vandalizm by Turkish users, possibly rival fans. Squad is ruined, article order is upside down from squad section on, etc. There is a tool which lets you to revert the page to a spesific date or edit, but i'm not too much capable about technical tools. Could you manage this situation, please? I am not willing to do that but to alter the page on semi-protected mode would be useful for a while due to prevent possible similar circumstances...

Thank you! Umi1903 (talk) 18:28, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I've semi-protected the page for 2 weeks. Since you probably know more about the club than me, that should give you ample time to fix the vandalism. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 18:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Rollback request

Dear King of Hearts, I would like to request permission for the Rollback tool. I am an employ in a think tank and frequent Wikipedia often. Doing so, I encounter radical changes to articles and would like to contribute by editing back.
