The IP of the user who was involved in the Mellat Park fiasco is spreading hate on Wikipedia, stating that we hate Iran and Iranians. See [1], [2], [3]. This couldn't be further from the truth. What do you suggest? -- Jeff300021:14, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I reverted them all. They are all false personal attacks that have absolutely no purpose for the building of the encyclopedia. Not to mention that I had not been involved with two of the pictures referenced... :) Ansell 01:39, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
They all look to be Tor addresses. I have posted a few at WP:OP but the others are probably also the same. If they are listed here they are pretty much confirmed as such on sight. Ansell 23:50, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
Philc's admin coaching
The headers with our names are to give whatever feedback you want to give on Phil's strenghts and weaknesses after looking at his contribs. BTW, this is going real slow, don't you think? --May the Force be with you! Shreshth91($ |-| ŗ 3 $ |-| ţ |-|)09:07, 25 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure what you mean - if none of us says anything for a while I think that's to be expected, given that adminship is a relatively long-term goal on Wikipedia, and all we can really do is help Phil address any problems that come up - if none do, then we should be happy about our obsolesence :-) --Sam Blanning(talk)15:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Deletion of article Hyperiums
Hi,
As one of the longer playing members of the game Hyperiums I used to keep the article up to date regulary. It offered an external resource site to the game.
Iwas wondering if you could elaborate on your reasoning behind deleting it.
I don't really have anything to add. It was a fairly standard Articles for Deletion discussion, and I employed standard practice in discounting 'votes' from participants that registered an account purely to vote or didn't register at all - this is to prevent influence from outside. If you still dispute the outcome you can try deletion review, under the 'Decisions to be reviewed' section. --Sam Blanning(talk)15:11, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it's a real stretch to say it's got anything to do with Amanda Dowler, in my opinion. It fills space if you're a tabloid sub-editor, but I don't think it's worth mentioning in an encyclopaedia article. If something significant happens in the investigation into Dowler's death, perhaps the fact that her killer was briefly have thought to have resurfaced in Sep 2006 might merit a mention even if it was a complete fabrication - but at the moment I think it's too trivial even for trivia. --Sam Blanning(talk)15:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd be happy to work with any more specific articles you want help with, but as I don't have much of a specific interest in murder victims, I'd rather not join an actual WikiProject. --Sam Blanning(talk)18:42, 3 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Images on episode lists
Are fair-use images allowed on episode list pages?? The only thing I asked that because, I am having problems with some users with images on the Pokmeon episode list, like I wrote images idenitfy episodes visually and identify key moments. But this Pokémon Collaborative Project voted on not having images which I wasn't imformed with.
I got a commit from a two users liking the idea of images:
Well I personally think they improve the article, and I've followed certain Featured List Candidates involving fair use images, and opposers have always stated that images should be in relation to the text, much like any other image, and not there for decorative purposes. HighwayDaytrippers20:24, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The users that are causing this problem is A Man in Black and Ryulong. Some of the iamges have the Fair Use Rationale for the images. Please help me. (Yugigx6014:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC))[reply]
I can't fault your logic on ANI, but I've told Parsssseltongue that I don't mind. I still don't, but I have enough respect for you to reckon yours is ok, too. If you want to counteract my advice, his talk page might be a good place to do it. - brenneman{L}12:18, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'd rather not repeat what I already said and run the risk of appearing to harp on about something that I'm really not massively bothered about - the important thing is that it looks like the error, such as it is, will be corrected. The other important thing is that Parseltongue understands the importance of WP:V and WP:CCC, and I think you've covered that adequately on his talk page. If Parseltongue continues reading the WP:AN thread, he'll see my post, and can consider both our opinions and make up his own mind - and if he doesn't, well, he's almost certain to pick it up at some point if he does continue following the path to adminship. --Sam Blanning(talk)17:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ultima Dragons
Hey, is there a way to get the old content of the Ultima Dragons page that was deleted, so I can at least work on improving it in my sandbox? The sources that have been mentioned on the AfD page I have been working on tracking down, and it would be nice if I could have the old content so that I could improve it in my sandbox or what have you so as to actually have a good article to show to the Deletion for Review board people. Thanks! -- Wizardry Dragon (Talk to Me) (Support Neutrality on Wikipedia) 16:43, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Sure, I've restored it to User:Wizardry Dragon/Ultima Dragons. Good luck in finding those references. Incidentally, the logo, as it's uploaded under a claim of fair use and isn't currently in any articles, will be deleted in a week unless the image is used in an article again and the {{orfud}} template is removed. You may want to save it to your hard drive if you don't have it already. --Sam Blanning(talk)17:26, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As you can see I was fighting a losing battle Re: Iain Lee all day! Thank you for your help! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CarlosPauloEthetheth (talk • contribs) 18:09, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
Hi Samuel - beware, I believe this user may be a clever hoaxer. Several of his past edits are incorrect or unverifiable, and almost all relate in some way to Iain Lee (including, bizarrely, trying to imply he is a descendant of a North Pole Innuit explorer). Stephenb(Talk)09:20, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I did notice that - unfortunately, in all the confusion I couldn't really sort one lot of nonsense out from the other. I've removed the information tagged as 'citation needed' for the moment and will be able to keep a better eye on the article in the next few days than before. --Sam Blanning(talk)10:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a a hoaxer, someone has been using my account! Argh! Help! I think i just switched off the browser and not logged out, so there has been some chaos! CarlosPauloEthetheth15:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
