This user is male, but totally sympathises with women!

You're reached the user page of Dpmuk. I value my privacy so I'm not going to post any personal information here but I will discuss what I do at wikipedia. I am always happy for discussion of any of my actions and welcome any contact on my talk page. If your query concerns an action I've taken in the area of copyright I do ask, however, that you read the section below first.

Copyright problems

My main area of work is in copyright problems. If I've removed your text for copyright reasons then I'm sorry to have done so but the potential harm to the project means I had no choice. The user page of User:Moonriddengirl is a great source of information about copyright at Wikipedia and largely covers my position as well so if you're wondering why I deleted your text I suggest you first go and read the copyright information there. If you're still wondering why and the page still exists then please read my edit summaries (found by clicking on the "history" link at the top of the page in question) and the article's talk page (found by clicking on "talk"). By reading these two pages you may well find out more about why I deleted your text. You may even find out that I removed some of the text for reasons other than copyright reasons. If so please feel free to restore that text while taking note of my reason for removing it. If on the other hand I removed it for copyright reasons, and you disagree with my removal, then please don't restore it but rather discuss it on my talk page instead. If I deleted the page then you should see a message describing why, and again, if you disagree please discuss it on my talk page. In either instance, if I'm taking a long time to reply, and by long I mean more than a day (we are all volunteers after all), then I suggest you post to here and someone should be able to help you.

Requested moves and speedy deletions

When I've had enough of copyright problems I'll quite often look at requested moves or deal with the speedy delete backlog. I've helped in both of these areas since before my adminship and would imagine I'll move into the admin tasks in these areas pretty slowly.

Bot

I have an alternate account User:DpmukBOT which will eventually be used as a bot account. At the moment it will be used for testing my very first bot (which does boring tasks at WP:CP) and all it's edits are being verified by me. I will update the information here when it comes fully online.

Adminship

The wikipedia community has recently decided that I am suitable to be an admin here at wikipedia. Again User:Moonriddengirl says things very well and the following quote from her page also applies to my adminship:

I am completely open to civil, good faith discussions about my admin actions. If I'm doing something wrong, I really want you to tell me, so that I can start doing it correctly. If I see you making a mistake, I'm going to point it out to you as diplomatically as I can and consider that I'm doing you a favor. So, please, do me the favor, too. Admins, if you see that I've made a mistake, please fix it. If you reverse my admin actions, I would be grateful if you'd leave me a nice note telling me what you've done and why and if you would be open to discussion with me should I disagree. (See "Grievances by users" for other steps & options for dealing with tool misuse.)

I think adminship is a job that needs to be taken seriously and used with responsibility. Admins are in a unique position to alienate other editors, if they misuse the tools. Certainly, I can't think of much that would have more discouraged me as a newcomer than being unjustly blocked or having an article unfairly deleted. This is one of the reasons why I support process. As experienced editors, we may be able to look at that article on that piece of software and just know that it cannot possibly survive AfD because it simply is not notable, but deleting it out of process can only undermine the creator's sense of trust in the community. We want them to follow procedure; we should be willing to demonstrate that we will, too.

Slightly random aside

It would appear I've both managed to point people at User:Moonriddengirl and quote from it. I suspect I spend too much time on her pages. This is, largely, due to the rather small number of editors working in copyright problems so if you wish to help out, as an admin or a user, please, please do. If you'd like to help but have questions please feel free to contact me.
