Note to posters: Let's try to keep two-way conversations readable. If you post to my talk page, I will just reply here. If I posted recently to another talk page, including your talk page, then that means I have it on my watchlist and will just read responses there. I may also refactor discussions to your talk page for the same reason. Thanks. Kchase (T)

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my RfA. I decided to end it; more time is needed, and I probably need a bit more experience. From here, I think I'll look at community discussion, AfD and the like. I will try to improve in the areas of concern, and thanks to everyone who supplied feedback. -- Selmo (talk) 06:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Ooops

Yeah, It was a mistake. He was keep vandalizing the The Law & Order Franchise article. I thought he was already warned. I hope you guys will forgive me. ♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 07:33, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

No sweat, I just wanted to make sure there wasn't some prolific IP vandal on the loose that you meant to report and really needed it blocked. Keep reporting to AIV. The occasional misfire happens to the best of us.--Kchase T 07:34, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. ♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 07:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh Kchase could you gimme a favor? My ARV 2.1 seems work malfunctioning. See[1]. I have try ed my best but it come a cropper. Could you edit my monobook and fix that bug as an admin? --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 13:12, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I gave it a shot by removing the nowiki tags in your monobook.js file. Let me know how it goes.--Kchase T 19:13, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Kchase, Still it not working man.[2] --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 19:22, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

I tried in the IRC channel but couldn't catch anyone. So I will contact village pump. Thank you so much for your efforts. Happy Editing!!! --♪♫ ĽąĦĩŘǔ ♫♪ ^{Walkie-talkie} 11:07, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Block

Noooooo! Please do not block me. :) Thanks for your comments on your RfA, you are going to make an amazing admin! Best, Yanksox 19:32, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Are you sure this wouldn't violate policy? Names invoking religious figures have been blocked before- User:God, for instance. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 23:42, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:AIV

My mistake: apologies for reporting those usernames. I was wrong, I admit! Sorry about that! --SunStar Net^talk 23:43, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandal

You asked about the vandalism. Well, he's been blocked, but for future reference, he was changing all the actors that play Jason Voorhees to "Kane Hodder". Though Kane Hodder did play him, he didn't in any of the films the anon was changing him to. That was what he was originally blocked for, being disruptive. Later he decided to change all the Leatherface portrayals to "Gunner Hansen" (the first actor). Bignole 00:22, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

OK. Sorry for dragging my feet.--Kchase T 00:43, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

noticeboard/Incidents

Re the WP:BITE case on the incidents page. I think consiering the fact that all the signs point towards him being totaly ignorant of talk pages, it is a vilation of WP:BITE to block him. They where entitled to ask him to change his username, that was not the violation. I think it would be best to unblock him so as to try again. Please let me know. frummer 08:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

From his/her edits, this person was clearly quite intelligent, understanding and using some complex aspects of wiki-coding, such as templates and piped links. Here's a good example. I'd be quite surprised if he/she couldn't figure out the simple instructions for requesting and unblocking and/or requesting a name change. For that reason, I'm fairly certain the editor simply created a new account and isn't particularly concerned about attribution.--Kchase T 08:40, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

I dont mean to be argumentative, but I dont think those wiki codes where very complicated. As you said he was clearly quite intelligent but there are other signs that he had no clue what a talk page was. He/she made one attempt, didnt sign, and never replied to its reply. frummer 08:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

If he ever signs in to the account again, the first thing he'll notice is the big message box and this on his talk page. That's all I can do without some evidence that he's returned to the account.--Kchase T 08:56, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

ok, thank you! frummer 15:27, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

No prob. BTW, "Salted"? Is this some new wiki-slang with which I'm not familiar? --DDG 19:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandal User talk:130.156.48.2

Hi there, your block doesn't seem to have shown up on the user's block log. TimVickers 20:37, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Got it. Thanks for telling me.--Kchase T 20:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

why?

Why can't you edit the tops of most pages? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.3.15.129 (talk) 20:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC).

Deleted Articles

I didn't know only admins could delete articles. Keep the articles deleted though - as that got the majority of the vote. Sorry about that. Davnel03 21:16, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

!The Big Red Button!

Someone put a huge red button that says Emegancy Bot Shutoff at the top of my page User:Wildman7865. Can you please remove it. I cant edit the top part of my page for some reason. I am also wondering why I cant edit up there.--Wildman7856 21:38, 18 December 2006 (UTC)Wildman7856

• It happened again!¡! Please tell me how they edited at the top of the screen so i can change it next time it happens.--Wildman7856 17:57, 19 December 2006 (UTC)Wildman7856

Ali Rajavi

not sure why it got deleted....if you could explain that would be great, thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navbobafshar90 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

he wasn't a famous author but did write several science fiction novels and if you restore the article i can add some more information about him —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navbobafshar90 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

i know he isnt listed on amazon but he is a first cousin of my mom's and all the information i am giving you is based on written journals and family information, but he definetely wrote science fiction as it was one of his passions but i dont know how many (if any) were published. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navbobafshar90 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

its gonna be hard to get a review of his book because the Ali Rajavi was not published by big name publishers but at the same time you have to realize that he is very well known in our family and as far as our family reaches and in addition to his saddeing and mysterious dissapearance, i feel that people need to hear about him. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Navbobafshar90 (talk • contribs) 07:22, 19 December 2006 (UTC).

Excel School

Sir, Why you deleted the article named Excel Pearls Nursery School? I found [3] that it's a nursery school and hence the reason for nomination it for deletion. It is not a nursery school. But I have only the school prospectus of the Nursery section which is to be used as reference. Since the article have to focus the refernced source, I named it in the name as in the Prospectus. Iam in search of original source and soon I will find some thing and was on the way to rename it as Excel Central School, which is its original Name.

Also this is one of the most important school in Kanyakumari district. See here and here. Notability is not a problem. With refering original source, I may be able to explain it in detail. So please help in retaining the article.

I don't know that the article was deleted since today. When I look for the article today, I find that it was deleted. And to bring back it What I have to do? Please help. - Paul 07:55, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

You're welcome to take it to deletion review, but I doubt it will get restored with those references. If the school has a website, that might help to establish that it's more than just a nursery school. It went through process properly, so I can't restore it without a consensus at deletion review. Sorry.--Kchase T 08:00, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

RfA questions

Thank you for taking the time to answer the optional questions. They are my way of participation. If I don't offer a Support or Oppose vote, then it should be assumed that I'm remaining neutral. I generally don't vote one way or the other in an RfA because I don't want to give the impression that there is a right or a wrong way to answer the questions and I don't want my vote to appear as a knee jerk reaction to the answers given. I will vote if the answers to any of the questions (including those not my own) give me a strong reaction one way or the other. I have found that other participants have found the questions useful because they have been cited as a basis for their voting decision. Generally, RfAs tend to be a landslide in one direction or the other, so my one vote won't make much of a difference in this kind of circumstance. This is also why I generally don't apply my questions to RfAs I already see as a landslide. —Malber (talk • contribs) 13:27, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Adam Said Galore

I purposely did not source the information from a copyrighted source but rather from their MySpace website which does use similar content - I have edited the material to ensure that there isn't an issue with copyright infringement - as I have included a significant number of other issues which aren't from the AMO website - am prepared to further edit if necessary Dan arndt

Did check WP:MUSIC and would like to think that it meets a number of the criteria, generally as follows (but if you need me to clarify or you think that the 'grounds' are shaky let me know:

1. can cite a number of Australian press reviews of the band and their releases if necessary (these articles are not press releases but independent reviews.
2. the band have toured nationally on several occassions
3. depends on whether you cite Redline Records (the label established by members of the band, Jebediah) or Shock records as a major indie label or not.
4. Simon Struthers from the band is now a notable record producer as well working with a number of up and coming bands and artists, notably Bob Evans (who's latest album has been nationally recognised)
5. the band in 1998 won a national competion for unsigned bands run by the Australian Broadcasting Commission
6. the drummer from the band also won a West Australian Music Industry Award in 2003(which after the ARIAs) are one of the more nationally recognised music awards in Australia.
7. the band have also recieved national coverage on the Australia Youth radio Station, Triple J.

does this assist? Dan arndt

Your advice

Thank you for your advice regarding new page patrol. I have been using a tool to do new page patrol and that tool shows the most recently added new pages. I will put in a request for an option to have new pages "from the bottom" of the list. I'm actually unsure, however, whether it is less cruel to tag some of the pages immmediately. There are a large number of new pages about non-notable bands or non-notable teenagers. It would seem less cruel not to have them adding biographical material for an hour before their article is tagged as possibly qualifying for speedy deletion. Just a thought. Thank you for your assistance, and please feel free stop by again. Sincerely, --BostonMA ^talk 13:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of MaxiVista vs. Multiplicity

I would appreciate your offered help: I created the MaxiVista article roughly based on the Multiplicity article (as MaxiVista offers a similar feature like Multiplicity) and both articles were actually similar in the way of description. Surprisingly, the MaxiVista article has been deleted because somebody sees it as spam while the similar article Multiplicty is still listed. I do not understand why the one is kept and the other one is deleted. I would appreciated to have this explained.

Bonny Hicks

Why did you decline deleting this article? The article is only 3 sentences and there is no clear reason for it's notability. Fighting for Justice 01:59, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Because there was an assertion to notability, a fact that is becoming quite clear at the AfD.--Kchase T 04:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I can see that. Basically ANYONE can have an article on wikipedia, so long as their name appeared in the newspaper. Fighting for Justice 04:36, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

That is how WP:BIO is written, yes. I only apply policy and guidelines. I (usually) don't write them.--Kchase T 04:37, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Un-Delete My Article

I didn't create the article for it to be deleted. I even said on the article's talk page that I understood that the article was liable for speedy deletion, and I even rebuttled with a statement on the article's Talk Page. My article was titled "Cosmic Flight Entertainment," I cannot type out a whole perfect article that you might expect at the moment, especially when it was about 3 AM whenever I was typing it. This has been at least the third time that I have tried and created the same article, but you ignoramoses keep deleting it. I know that you are Administrators, but quit abusing your powers.— Preceding unsigned comment added by GageShoichi (talk • contribs)

Your next step is deletion review. I didn't delete Cosmic Flight Entertainment because it was imperfect or unfinished, but because it failed to assert notability.--Kchase T 19:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and I understand that. As stated before, I did intend to further develop my article, so that it may meet the specific guidlines.
