Delivered message from my userpage:

If you'll permit me to edit your page (I dunno what the rules are there, but delete this anytime), what is good speculation and what is bad, and who decides? If I speculate that Cartman is French, for example, why shouldn't my speculation go in the article? Where does it stop? It would be chaos. It's basically original research. That's why we have to base things on reliable sources, not on our own opinions. Hopefully a newspaper or DVD commentary will note as you have that Kevin and Esther may be twins, then it can go in wikipedia. 86.44.6.14 (talk) 02:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It is the encylopedia that matters. And I think over time people have noticed that the encylopedia works best when people focus on the content submitted, not on the editor submitting it. :) You're completely right about how people shouldn't remove personal attacks from your talk page, btw (and wikipedia policy agrees: wp:rpa), even if they're probably just trying to be nice. 86.44.6.14 (talk) 02:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edit at User talk:Negropoppa

Was this directed at me or at User:Negropoppa? Just wondering, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:13, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, then that settles that. Thanks for the clarification. One thing I'll add though, as a perfectly non-prejudicial, non-"anti-religious" editor, is be careful not to let your mind open to far. Open mindedness is a good thing, and far less stressful than closemindedness. However, if you let your mind open too far, it is possible that your brain could fall out. Cheers!

IP block

Hi WWill,

We don't do permanent blocks of anonymous IP accounts, because it is possible that they could be in use by more than one user. We can, however, give longer and longer blocks if the IP continues vandalizing -- I've seen them up to 6 months. Thanks for your help with this one!

Orphaned non-free media (Image:VeronicaStar.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:VeronicaStar.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 06:35, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hope yours is a blessing this year! --Is this fact...? 22:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I always try to be kind. :u) Anyhow, Happy Good Friday/Easter, too, and good luck with that sock puppet case. --Is this fact...? 22:02, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:BabyPoof.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:BabyPoof.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly (Parrot) 01:48, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Image:TimmyTurner.gif

Why are you defending an inferior image of Timmy Turner in the wrong format (GIF, vs. PNG)? According to Wikipedia's fair use policy, we cannot keep duplicate images if one of the images is unused. Also, images on Wikipedia should never be saved as GIF unless animated. On my version, I also removed the interlacing artifacts from the image. ANDROS1337 01:14, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RE: APK's talk page

Look, he can't be forced to listen to you. He has acknowledged your point, and continues to disagree with you. If you proceed in belaboring the point, you are going to be blocked for harassment and disruption. You are taking what was a small issue that did not concern you, and turning it into a bigger problem for yourself which may get you sanctioned. No one wants this, so please stop... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:17, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For real... let it drop. All of it... Just forget it ever happened, make no further contact with APK, and make no further attempt to make comments ABOUT APK... This all goes away when you stop... --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I try. In the future, please try to de-escalate problems rather than escalate them. Getting to the point were admins are involved is always a bad course of action. Sometimes, the best thing to do is to be the "bigger person" and just walk away. Lets consider the whole matter closed. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

News from Grieferhate

I noticed that u seem 2 be a South Park fan. I'm looking 4 da episode in which Stan loses his virginity, because I wud rather be the "person dumb enough to look deserving to lose that much of their life." (Quoting Matt Stone's statement in the interview). I couldn't stand the idea of any other fan, especially u, looking dumb and deserving 2 lose as much of their life as Stan did. I don't think that it would be a very flattering mark, and I'm perfectly willing to save people that embarrassment and find them the episode. Do u think I'm doing da right thing or shud I let someone else find it? Thanks for the kindness you've shown me and your support in helping me with my slightly strong "campaign" to stop Kyle Broflovski's age being changed to 8, by da way! U have been a gud wikipedia friend! Grieferhate (talk) 23:10, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry About That

No doubt you will see that I apparently reverted you and then undid my revert. My apologies that happened. I was going through television articles, saw you, checked your contribs, whereupon I accidentally clicked the rollback. Sorry once again, just wanted to let you know there's no problem: just a stupid twitch of my thumb. :P Happy editing! -WarthogDemon 01:36, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Wilhelmina Will/Is Keira Knightley an Ichthyosaur?

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article User talk:Wilhelmina Will/Is Keira Knightley an Ichthyosaur?, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on [[Talk:User talk:Wilhelmina Will/Is Keira Knightley an Ichthyosaur?|its talk page]]. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of User talk:Wilhelmina Will/Is Keira Knightley an Ichthyosaur?.

Stop removing tags that still apply. --Geniac (talk) 04:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"It'll get deleted if it's not a redirect." - Yes, that's the point. A better version is now available and so this version of the same image needs to be deleted. If you continue being disruptive in this way, or any other, you will be blocked. You should also know that comments like "Have mercy, damn it! Mercy!!!" and "For shame!" sound childish and are not constructive. You need to give actual, valid reasons for things and use appropriate edit summaries that reflect the edit being made. --Geniac (talk) 20:10, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 48 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for disruption. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below. Geniac (talk) 04:31, 6 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|I have work to do elsewhere in Wikipedia, and I cannot get it done with this delay. Furthermore, I have not caused disruption. After your final message to me, Geniac, did I revert you again? No, I did not. I merely attempted to close the discussion by saying why I did what I did, as I do with every discussion. I do not like images being deleted when they could be redirected instead. I do not like anything being deleted when it could be redirected instead. In proposed deletions of articles, the first thing I ever suggest is merely redirecting them. If those with the proper authority choose not to follow this advice, that's their business, not mine. Now I am off, thinking that this whole issue is over, gathering references for an article I am trying to improve, and I come back and find this has happened. Undo this act, please. To add to what I have to say: I'm sorry if I upset you in all this, Geniac, I truly am. But you must understand that I am quick-tempered, and I often lash out before I can stop myself. You might be amazed at how much worse my reaction would have been in January. And it took this sort of house arrest to make me realise where I was going wrong. Even now I've not got a perfect savoir faire, but I'm trying to stay on the road to it. But I should have been calmer, and explained myself more clearly and gently, I know. Especially when you and I have discussed things with each other two or three times before, and actually seemed to get along pretty well. I just don't understand why you won't leave the JPG images as redirects to the PNG images, or why you seem to show no emotion towards them. I hate it when people seem stone cold towards something I am passionate about; especially when I've previously known them to be very nice people, and excellent Wikipedians.}}

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

that's a wierd question

Well comparing to my american friends I'd say it's the same really. Matthieu (talk) 13:40, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you say that to a Frenchman he's going to think you love him, I doubt it is the purpose here is it? If you want to show how much you like the French language it's better to say "J'adore la langue française" or something like that so you can avoid ambiguities. Don't hesitate if you have other questions. Matthieu (talk) 20:50, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The very few (I can think of only one time) I used another wikipedia article as a source (to back something I knew and I had other sources on the topic, just wanted to diversify the sources) I didn't quote the other article but re-used the academic source is used, in this precise case it was Duffy's Mediaval Ireland (I was tired of using Gillingham, Hallam, Aurel and Carpenter as contant sources). In all case, it won't give a lot of weight to the point if you just quote another wiki article, use a recognised source rather (can't say wiki is one) Matthieu (talk) 17:45, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
alright, here you go, it's not a litteral translation but is largely acceptable: "Quel est la meilleure façon de faire? Citer une source via un article ou se contenter de la laisser comme un lien en bas de page?" Matthieu (talk) 13:09, 18 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia articles as a source

Where did you read that other Wikipedia articles can be cited in an article? "[...] open wikis [...] are largely not acceptable." (WP:SPS) and Wikipedia is not a "third-party published source with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" (WP:SOURCES). You said, "in Chris Griffin's article, there was a statement, which another user removed, asking that they (who put it in) please cite the episode in which it occured". Yes, an episode can be cited, but not an episode's article. --Geniac (talk) 12:51, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, when an episode is cited, a link to that episode's article would be appropriate. The refs I removed from Randy and Sharon Marsh didn't make it obvious what was being cited; the article or the episode. Using {{cite web}} or {{cite episode}} would make it clearer. BTW, no; see WP:NFCC#1. --Geniac (talk) 04:16, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I must repaint my house

Correct translation would be: "Je dois repeindre ma maison". Cheers. Matthieu (talk) 08:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

HolywoodChicago.com

I see that you rejected the new article creation for HollywoodChicago.com. How does it not have reliable sources? It has a huge list of reliable sources.

Second attempt at article for HollywoodChicago.com

Per your guidance, I have created a new article. Is this new article better?

Probably the best place to further explain to the author (it took me a second to realize this was via the Articles for Creation process) why that article had problems... I went through those sources... none of them are about HollywoodChicago.com - they are stories about other things that link to stories about those things that happen to be published by HollywoodChicago.com - I am glad the site is seeing success in syndicating its content... but again, no one is talking about the site itself... only Batman and film screening. (And Wilhelmina Will, thanks for taking care of it.)--Marcinjeske (talk) 09:31, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
On my talk page it said the article is live, but I just checked and the new article for HollywoodChicago.com is all gone and only appears to redirect to the Chicago Film Critics Association. Why is it a redirect and why is the whole article gone? Are you looking for stories that instead write about the publication (like this and this?) --68.72.135.94 (talk) 20:42, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Wilhelmina Will said in edit summary: You were all for redirecting on the other user's talk page.

No, I was not all for redirecting on User_talk:68.72.135.94. I said there were three paths which could be taken, one of them being keeping the redirect that you created as a way to wait until things cool over. The one I preferred was restoring the article and leaving it Proposed for deletion so that the opinion of another editor would be solicited. However, given that it was obvious that the HC.com people objected to deletion and I presume you object to deletion, I had to follow my third option, which was to bring the article up for a discussion... in going through the prescribed process, the Wikipedia software informed me that this exact article had already been discussed a few month ago, and deleted with overwhelming consensus. the relevant discussions are:

He has been wasting all of our time and the time of editors before us... by repeatedly submitting the same promotional content. I read the third party article cited, I listened to the whole darn radio interview... there is nothing there except to substantiate that HC.com exists. What he says in an interview are his own words... you cannot be a third-party source for yourself. I hope you understand I am not drawing this line because of some spite... but Wikipedia is so awash in self-promotion that every piece we can keep out is vital. --Marcinjeske (talk) 21:32, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see that you have removed my speedy deletion and restored the redirect. If I interpret WP:CSD correctly, you are the creator of the page:
Any editor who is not the creator of a page may remove a speedy tag from it.
The creator may not do this. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion
should instead add hangon to the page, and explain the rationale on the page's discussion page.
Assuming your redirect was intended to disagrees with my speedy deletion request, I am restoring the page, placing the hangon on your behalf, and copying the substance of discussion from User_talk:68.72.135.94 on the HC.com discussion page. --Marcinjeske (talk) 21:39, 15 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Inga Liepa and reliable sources

www.integracija.gov.lv You have declined creating article about Inga Liepa - the most senior civil servant in the Republic of Latvia. There is only sixteen (16) so high top officials in Latvia. She is secretary of State. Article was provided with the source - official government home page of ministry, with her official curriculum vitae (http://www.integracija.gov.lv/?id=308&top=46&sa=62&doc=1248). Can you, please, explain me - what can be more reputable source than government offical information on top official - Secretary of State? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.199.125.107 (talk) 23:07, 13 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on HollywoodChicago.com, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a user page from the main/article space.

If you can fix the redirect to point to a regular Wikipedia article rather than a user page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you are fixing the redirect. If you think the redirect should be retained as is for some reason, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your reasoning on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Geniac (talk) 02:13, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wilhelmina_Will, I am really disappointed that after three admins have deleted HollywoodChicago.com and at least two other editors (not to mention all the editors in the previous debates and all the editors who have to delete the link spam pointing to HC.com to the various film pages) have objected to the creation of the article, you insist on recreating it. I think it is a good thing that you help out new users create articles, but in this case you are not following the spirit or the letter of Wikipedia's guidelines. I do not understand your belief that an inappropriate article can somehow be ok if you redirect it somewhere else for a while. The people who run HC.com have been repeatedly to spam Wikipedia every few months, and you are only letting them use you to continue the blatant promotion of this commercial website. --Marcinjeske (talk) 10:03, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
None of my business and all of that, and I have no idea regarding the notability of the website, but.. regarding HC spamming us, that really shouldn't impact our creation or deletion of an article for them. Like WP:SELF says, when it comes to those things, we should approach the situation as if we were not Wikipedia. -- Ned Scott 10:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Please, do make it your business... because although I am pretty sure about my stance... I have done all I can in terms of editing the actual page... I should have been more clear... when I say spam... I mean trying to create that article... HollywoodChicago.com has been created and subsequently deleted every few months. (see the article's talk page for more details). So no, I am not suggesting that spam in other parts of Wikipedia is grounds for an article to be included... but repeatedly trying to create the same self-promotional article when nothing about it's notability has changed and no reliable third-party sources have appeared is spam.
There is the separate issue of links to HC.com being placed in other articles in a clearly self-promotional way... but that is not the issue I complained about above. Sorry to not have been clearer. --Marcinjeske (talk) 10:45, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ah, ok, that does make more sense then. -- Ned Scott 10:46, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Message from 72.200.176.36

Note: Product ride time can be reduced any where from 10-20 minutes, on a fully charged battery, depending on riders weight; various riding conditions and/or if product has been properly maintained. Battery shows fully charged, but goes low after 10-15 minutes of use and/or unit run (very) slow. Try the following:

Check riders weight & riding conditions, do not exceed the weight limit, go up a steep hill or attempt to tow objects. It is best to avoid these conditions at all times. Check air pressure in front and rear tires, if pressure is low, inflate tires to recommended PSI (located on tire sidewall) Check chain tension. If chain is too tight, refer to pg 6 in owner's manual. Check front brake pads for signs that they are rubbing against the front tire (rim). If the brake pads are rubbing, readjust the brakes (Refer to pg 4 in Owner's Manual) Make sure charger is plugged into charger port correctly & indicator lights are working properly. If the charger is not plugged into the charger port correctly, then make sure to plug charger into charger port correctly and charger for 8 hours (refer to page 3 in the Owner's Manual.) Secure unit; turn power on & with NO weight on the unit, lift back end up & apply the throttle, if the rear wheel spins freely, then replace the battery.


Rear wheel barely moves. Try the following:

Lift rear end up and manually spin rear wheel forward. Should spin 3-4 times with no resistance. If the wheel does not spin freely, replace rear wheel.

You're welcome, WW!

I'm honestly flattered by all your thanks :u) I appreciate you gratitude. I felt it was only right, seeing the obvious holes in the case against you. Congrats on making it out, alive! --Is this fact...? 22:24, 27 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not going to be editing any Wikipedia articles from now on -- I'm cutting the addiction. I'm still going to check my talk page messages, though, so feel free to keep writing me if you land in another pickle. I'll be glad to help :u)

Re: A Pistol for Ringo

Please read the entire decline reason. It clearly says the article was declined out of a concern for the internal footnotes having absolutely no relevance to the items they cite. Redfarmer (talk) 20:40, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hey, thanks for the cookies! Funny what can happen to your user pages when you're not even around ... That particular vandal has been making sockpuppets to add goofy stuff to the Liberace article.

Block for 48 hours

You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 48 hours as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated. You appear to have vandalized France. If this has been done in error, please contact me, or another admin at WP:AN. Bearian (talk) 00:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lol, this is incorrect for two reasons. One, France hasn't even been edited since the fifth of May, at this point. 2. I would never vandalize a Wikipedia page; I always edit in good faith. And actually three: I love France, and any article relating to it is especially dear to me. So, using logic, this must be an incorrect accusation. But everyone makes mistakes. Have a good day!!! Winnifred-Ian-Leonard-Harry-Ellen-Lucy-Marilyn-Ingrid-Nora-Amanda Walter-Ira-Lauren-Lalla (talk) 01:07, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is also a fourth reason: I myself haven't edited the article since the seventh of April: [19], and this edit was in compliance with a discussion that the gallery section be abandoned. Winnifred-Ian-Leonard-Harry-Ellen-Lucy-Marilyn-Ingrid-Nora-Amanda Walter-Ira-Lauren-Lalla (talk) 01:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Crossposted from the blocking admins talk page: I am not sure I understand the reason for the block. Whatever else I could say, there does not appear to be any vandalism from looking at his contrib log to France or any other articles. The user actually reverted vandalism here and a not useful edit here. Earlier fix was for Nice. Is there a chance you confused this user with the vandals WW was reverting. --Marcinjeske (talk) 04:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bearian undid himself right away He musta screwed up something. Not sure what, but everyone makes innocent mistakes, and he self corrected it. --Jayron32.talk.contribs 04:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it was an innocent mistake, a royal screw-up, and I corrected it myself immediately, erasing what I thought would be embarrassing for all. I am very sorry for the mistake. Bearian (talk) 15:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
