Representing Carlos Averhoff, Jr

Hello Fastily, I'm writing to respectfully request that you restore the page I entered for Carlos Averhoff, Jr. Some of the material used in the page was from his website. Please understand that we own the other page; thus, we were simply using a modified version of his bio to include in Wikipedia. As owners, we have complete ownership of the text and could use it in other platforms, liken in the case of Wikipedia. Again, I ask you if you can restore the page as it was last saved on September 29, 2011 around 5 pm. I could certainly change the words if you consider it necessary. Please advise. Most kindly.

Alternative to page protection?

Further to the temporary full protection of the Johann Hari article: your note at the EW board (where the context is a particular user's 3RR violation) cites no explicit reason for protecting the article. The note's context, and its juxtaposition to the "positive" vote icon, implies the protection is in direct and exclusive response to the user's violation of 3RR. If this is correct, as I assume, please can you help me understand why, instead of the article being protected (which rather penalizes the non-violators), the user was not given a warning on their talk page, for example? Thank you. Writegeist (talk) 17:57, 29 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There has been edit-warring by multiple users on the above-mentionted page. If consensus or a comprise cannot be achieved, the page is going to remain protected to prevent further disruption to the article. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 09:46, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I understand. Writegeist (talk) 15:24, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

captureka deletion

Dear mister, you deleted link to Captureka software under screeshot term. I ask why you do not delete other third party tools mentioned there also? Even it can be treated as advetising it is not because others have chance to be citated.

Be so good and do not discriminate others!

Could you provide a link to the page in question? It's unclear what you're referring to. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 00:23, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:Albert Ammons.jpg

Would you object if I either restored this file or, better yet, gave it a different name? There is a file with the same name on Commons (commons:File:Albert Ammons.jpg) but it is not the same image. Furthermore, the Commons image is probably not public domain, after all. I had already withdrawn the nomination at WP:FFD, but I think I may not have been clear that we ought to keep the existing (Wikipedia) image under the uploader's original rationale (i.e., the subject is deceased). Thus far, I am unable to locate a free alternative, myself. Thanks, -- Gyrofrog (talk) 02:35, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Are you absolutely certain that a free alternative does not exist? The subject was born in 1907, and any photographs taken prior to 1923 in the US are in the public domain. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 02:54, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Recording histmerges

I'll keep that in mind. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 06:37, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Benfeing (talk · contribs) copy-vio's

I'm nearly done for today nominating almost all his files for deletion/discussion at either PUF, FFD, NFR or under the CSD, and I was wondering if considering this and the large amount of previous file deletion warnings on his user talk page (around 90) you could indef him for copyright infringement, to prevent further disruption. Thanks very much, Acather96 (talk) 07:03, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This user has not edited since April of this year. Blocks are intended to prevent ongoing disruption to the project, and not as a punitive measure. If this user returns to editing and continues uploading copyright violations/useless images, a block will definitely be warranted. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 07:43, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am fully aware that blocks are not punitive, which is why he specifically requested this to prevent further copyright infringement and disruption. Benfeing does edit sporadically, for example he 'stopped' editing in Dec. 2009, only to return again on May 2010, then 'stopped' editing in October that year, only to return in March this year. I would not be the least bit surprised if this pattern continued, hence why I am requesting he be blocked. Acather96 (talk) 11:07, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am not comfortable blocking this user unless they resume disruptive editing. Blocking where there is no ongoing disruption is not in line with policy. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:14, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion under G6 left redlink

Hi, re this delete - it's left some redlinks, but in particular, that at Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Deprecated#Non-free Creative Commons licenses should be fixed - I think that amending this to {{db-noncom}} should suffice. That is, I am assuming that the page which you deleted was a redirect to Template:Db-f3. --Redrose64 (talk) 10:37, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very few pages link to this deprecated template. If it is really that bothersome to you you, recreate the redirect then. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:15, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question,

Hello I haven't been around wikipedia much these days been over at the parady site and was in the thick of something that may or may not be of interest over here. Anyway based on this, I am to say User:Mnidaydwisww is a sockpuppet of the banned user Meepsheep who himself has already made numerous accounts. Now my question, would this simple small amount of circumstantial evidence be enough to support a call to checkuser or is it simply not enough, I'm not exactly too experienced on how things run around here and don't want to run into a pointless deadend. Or rather wait for his to make a hoard or sockpuppets as he did over there. If I don't have enough evidence please advise me on further proof I'd need. ~Red Rover (Talk to me!) contribs 10:37, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:19, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File:10th Street View.jpg

Per the discussion of the image at Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2011_September_19#File:10th_Street_View.jpg the copyright holder Jim Clark of MTFA Architecture sent an e-mail to permissions-en@wikimedia.org on Monday, September 26th. I asked in that discussion how I could prompt for a case number to be provided within the given time frame and received no answer. Please review this image deletion as I believe it was made in error, and as I believe I communicated each step of the process in a timely manner and in good faith. I was copied on the e-mail sent by the copyright holder and can forward it as needed.-Markeer 12:59, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I looked at the OTRS ticket, and while Mr. Clark did send an email, he did not specify a license that the file should be licensed under. I cannot restore the file without that information. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:22, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

G6 on Lark Play Development Center

Are you doing a histmerge at Lark Play Development Center or something? I am not sure how else it would fit as a G6. Monty ₈₄₅ 20:31, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I tagged this (deleted) page as a clear-cut-'n-paste move (from somewhere out of the AFC space)... mabdul 20:55, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seeing no response here, I have requested undeletion at Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Lark_Play_Development_Center. Monty ₈₄₅ 22:55, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well someone's inpatient. I was writing you a reply just as you posted. Guess you're not interested in what I have to say. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 22:58, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I was not trying to be impatient. I am of course interested in what you have to say, but it looked like you were not going to respond, as you responded to other messages left both before and after this one an hour and a half ago, and then appeared to go back to other tasks. Monty ₈₄₅ 23:02, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If I'm not mistaken, Mabdul requested deletion of the page so he could make a page move. Mabdul, if you're not going to make a page move or provide any other reason why the page should remain deleted, please let me know so that I can restore the page. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:25, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

My understanding is that Mabdul had the page tagged for histmerge repair to fix a cut and paste move, as opposed to a deletion to make way for a move, though I can't check. Mabdul indicated about 2 hours ago that they were logging off for the night. Monty ₈₄₅ 23:35, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How about we wait for Mabdul? -FASTILY ^(TALK) 03:12, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thanks for deleting Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Liam Butler and Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alexandre Boulet in such a timely manner. You deleted them less than three minutes after I tagged them. Best, Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 20:59, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! Glad to have been able to help. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 21:20, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I detect a cabal of deletionists here, masking their evil intentions behind fancy fonts. Drmies (talk) 23:01, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, there is no cabal. I just tagged two new Articles for Creation submissions that violated policy. The first was a vandalism submission, and the second was an attack page. Alpha_Quadrant ^(talk) 02:01, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey! I haven't deleted anything! In fact, I never do...or, rather infrequently do :P -FASTILY ^(TALK) 03:11, 2 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Orphan before deleting?

I temporarily restored {{Hyōgo-rail-station-stub}} since it has over 250 transclusions. If you want a bot to orphan these, just drop them in WP:TFD/H, with a link to the RFD or SFD or TFD discussion. Several of these popped up in Wikipedia:Database_reports/Transclusions_of_deleted_templates/1, or I wouldn't have noticed. Thanks! Plastikspork _―Œ^(talk) 22:41, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
