Nurse Anesthetist

The page Nurse Anesthetist has had its images deleted twice by wiki editors, lastly you. I have recieved full permission to display the images on Wikipedia from the copyright owners. I have sent the permission letter to Wikimedia. I have approprately discribed the permission and use in the upload system. I cannot understand what is going on!! Please tell me in plain english why they are being deleted, and what I am doing wrong. Eclipse Anesthesia

Proposal

Hello

I was wondering if you were interested in a new proposed WikiProject. It is called Tranport around Glasgow and Edinburgh. The proposal can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Transport around Glasgow and Edinburgh. For the temp page, see User:Simply south/WikiProject Transport around Glasgow and Edinburgh. I was referred to you by Pencefn btw. Simply south 22:13, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could i ask for your help in setting the page up? I am taking a chance with this page as i have never done a wikiproject before. Simply south 23:56, 28 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is no chance. Only being bold. :) - Samsara (talk • contribs) 00:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, sure. I would think 6 or 8 people to make it viable though, wouldn't you? --Guinnog 00:02, 29 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reasonably, i have 6 right now but am still going to wait for more, possibly. Anyway l

                                                                                    l
                                                                                   \ /

I am now facing problems with the proposal covering more than i originally thought and am querying the name. What do you think this should be called?

I am thinking about those i have put on the proposals page, plus also suggestions of "Scottish Rapid Transit", "Transit\"Tranportation in Scotland"...

I wa also hoping that this wouldn't cover ALL forms of transport although i now don't know what to do. What should happen? Simply south 20:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mediaopedia links - are they spam?

I reverted this guy's edit to Click fraud as linkspam, mostly because the article it linked to was barely literate. Then I looked at the article at another link, Donald Rumsfeld, and it seemed like a real article. Thoughts? --CliffC 13:47, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mass date delinking

Mr. Mains has returned to his old ways. I am hoping that you will have a word with him about it, and get him to knock it off.Lonewolf BC 09:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Transferred to here from my talk page. For sake of conversational coherence, please let keep us this on yours. I am "watching" this page, so message-notification is not a problem. --Lonewolf BC)

Thanks a lot. Can I ask you to get involved in the exercise at User talk:Guinnog/date linking? I'd like to get this finished off in the next days. I feel this could lead us to a proper resolution of this problem. --Guinnog 19:59, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be glad to take part in the exercise. Meanwhile, please have a word with Mains. He seems disinclined to listen to me, and there is no way I keep up with the high-volume edits with which he is again pushing ahead -- plus I fear I might get in hot water for "wiki-stalking" if I were to try, being as I am not an admin. -- Lonewolf BC 20:21, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have had a word with him. I'll keep an eye out; I really don't want things to turn nasty again. --Guinnog 20:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ditto that last! -- Lonewolf BC 20:30, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've just checked and he hasn't done any more since my last message to him. Let's all keep a cool head here, ok? --Guinnog 20:26, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Guinnog: it would be helpful if you could dissuade Lonewolf BC from using intemperate and insulting language toward me as he has now done on my talk page and regardless of what are obviously very strong opinions he may have of my work. Thanks Hmains 22:33, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Palestine and User Talk:Wood345

Could you please comment on this edit, where you basically confirm that user Woods345 did a page blank, even though the provided diff [1] does not show anything like that? Han-Kwang 21:40, 3 December 2006 (UTC) P.S. Hmm, the offending edit was around the same time as this one where the whole page was replaced by some random other page after doing a section save. When I just looked back, the mysterious diff had disappeared. Most likely not Wood345's fault. Han-Kwang 21:46, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Replaced your fair use image with free image

Hi, I recently replaced your uploaded cover image at The Prisoner of Zenda with an image of the second edition cover of the book per User:Chick Bowen/Bad book covers. A recent cover like yours technically would not be acceptable under the "replaceable" clause of our fair use policy, since the books' original covers, title pages, etc. would be free. Thanks, and I was just letting you know that I did this. QueenStupid 18:03, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. --Guinnog 18:07, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Wiki-ov

I didn't see your indef block until after I had left the message on that user's talk page. I think the likelihood of this one being anything except a full-time vandal is about 0.01%. Should that turn out to be the case I'll unblock but I really don't think there was anything wrong with the block :-) Best, Gwernol 19:50, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Judging by the latest comment on the talk page (I reverted it) make that 0.0% that this is anything but a troll. The indef block is looking very good :-) Gwernol 19:54, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

France

User Davdaott has removed enourmus amounts of demographic information and cited statements, is that not vandalism? --r9tgokunks 23:26, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I was watching the recent changes for a few refreshes and watched you effectively carpet a vandal. =) Thanks for the entertainment, and for the links to the Political Compass, and for the link to DefendEachOther ... keep up the good work! JubalHarshaw 01:05, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much indeed for your kind words. I did a few today; can you remember which one tickled you so much? --Guinnog 02:03, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I remember one where the guy had edited his talk page from your warning to "WHO THE FUCK IS GUINNOG" ... I guess he found out, didn't he? JubalHarshaw 04:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Project

I have now decided to rename the project to Transport in Scotland (after caving in). This is going to be very broad but i have stated it will focus primarily on public transport. Do you think this is going to be any good? I have also made a start on the sub-page. Simply south 12:35, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Humourous

You claim that this is the worldwide correct pelling of Humourous please provide evidence to support this claim.--Lucy-marie 17:00, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clearing up this issue--Lucy-marie 17:08, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bennett's Tree-kangaroo

Why have you removed the two photos of Bennett's Tree-kangaroo which I recently posted there at the request of the photographer? I will restore them to the article. If you think they still shouldn't be there - please have the courtesy to discuss it with me first on my Talk page. Yours John Hill 21:53, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More on Bennett's Tree-kangaroo

Thanks for your prompt reply. Sorry - that appears to have been my fault. Sandy Lloyd (the photographer) has said that she is really happy for the photos to be used and I discussed with her previously that they would then become available to anyone to download and use. She was happy with this. I just was not aware that the copyright tag I chose was not sufficient for them to be posted. I have now tagged them as GFDL. If you think there is still some problem would you please let me know? Thanks, John Hill 22:18, 5 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Genius Club

Why did you delete our image? We're part of the production company and we OWN the image. Please don't do this again. Thank you!

Hoping for your assistance

(Please reply here. I've got your page on watch. -- LW 00:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC))

I've run afoul of an admin who's causing me some trouble. For example, he's been messing with my talk page by posting "warnings" against things I've not done, and commanding me not to remove them. You seem like a reasonable fellow, and I'm wondering if you might help me out. Just some advice on where I stand would be good, and pointers on where I might take things. If you you care to give it, a the perspective of a fair-minded third party would be useful, I think -- just told to me, if you'd rather not get in the middle. This is weird. I really have to wonder how this guy got his stripes. Anyhow, please let me know if you can assist -- or point me to someone else, if you'd rather. -- Lonewolf BC 00:04, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Oops. I too slow. I trust you won't mind the transfer -- LW, 00:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC))

Thanks for your message. I will have a look and see what I can do. --Guinnog 00:05, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much. -- Lonewolf BC 00:52, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Tyroneandkerryflags.jpg

Why did you remove the speedy tag , i was under the impression that non commercial image where not allow on wiki . When i uploaded this image it wasn't tagged as non commercial but is now (Gnevin 01:38, 6 December 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Image Uploading

So what exactly was the problem with my uploaded image? Not only is it album artwork and therefore under Fair Use (as far as I know), I asked the artist himself for permission to use it. Blutpanzer 02:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
