List of number-one singles in Australia during the 1990s

Hi, you prodded that article. I quite agree with his deletion, but it seems the page is linked to a a lot of pages. I think it might be a better idea to bring it to a broader audience, maybe an AfD? -- lucasbfr ^talk 13:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

I assume that you meant List of number-one albums (Australia). But I see its been deleted now so the point is moot. Cheers. —Moondyne 12:43, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

No problems. —Moondyne 12:53, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I just found this thread.... I deleted it obviously not knowing about your concern. I did see that it was linked quite a bit, but almost all the links were through a template or in "See also's". I've taken the extra effort to clean all the redlinks up. Also, it looks like a bit of recategorization will need to be done, but I'll either take care of that myself or put it at CFD for resolution. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 17:35, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Seiretto removed?

Hi Lucas,

Seiretto has been deleted by you: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Seiretto

Please can you replace this. I am not sure of your reasons as Seiretto has notability:

We maybe a very small company but "just as individuals can be notable, and arbitrary standards should not be used to create a bias favoring larger organizations." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CORP

Seiretto is over 10 years old (you were only ten when it was formed) - having survived as an Internet company during the difficult boom and bust periods of the late 1990 and early 2000. This proves our long history: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.seiretto.com Which is a great deal longer than wikipedia: http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.wikipedia.org

Hi, I originally prodded this page as it was probably created by mistake, kinda stupid, I should have come to you directly. Anyway, you should perhaps consider putting a redirection to User:UBX and protect the page to prevent more userboxes to be created there by someone not filling the form. -- lucasbfr ^talk 08:57, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Swiss patent No. 532 261

I see you know a bit of German. Do me a favor and take a look at this article. From my rudimentary knowledge of the language, it appears this is a straight translation of http://www.itaggroup.com/fileadmin/remaco/Information/Nr_118_TNLCDs.pdf and therefore a derivative work and a copyvio. I have it marked as such on WP:SCV. Thanks! --Butseriouslyfolks 06:22, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

re: warnings removal on talk pages

Thanks for your message on my talk page with respect to this topic. I was sort of expecting/dreading such a message, but am actually impressed that someone on Wikipedia noticed my edits to User talk:Garric and corrected me since I had a feeling I had made a mistake in terms of my warning to that user. I now understand the current consensus on this issue, and I think my question here demonstrates my previous confusion. After leaving a warning-type message on Garric's talk page I checked the guidelines re: talk page deletions (which is something I had never actually read about before) and realized I was probably in error in this respect, though I was surprised by this since it seemed like deletions of warnings on your own talk page was something I had seen warnings for in the past (I actually thought there was a template for it, and figured I just could not track it down).

I'll look through the crazy long discussion on this topic at some point, but do you think it's possible to have more clear guidelines on this? To a well-meaning (but relatively new) user like myself who does RC Patrol sometimes, a guideline like the following at WP:USER ("Policy does not prohibit users from removing comments from their own talk pages, although archiving is preferred. The removal of a warning is taken as evidence that the warning has been read by the user. Deleted warnings can still be found in the page history") seems a bit ambiguous and also is not highlighted that prominently (I had never seen it before, though I probably should have). On RC Patrol it's easy to assume that deleting warning messages on your own talk page is inappropriate, so the fact that this is not the case should perhaps be more emphasized. If you have an idea about how to do this I would work on it. You can let me know here or on my talk page.

At any rate, I'm sorry for the improper edits I made to Garric's talk page.

PS--On a humorous personal note (which I add after I looked at your user page) my girlfriend/partner is half-French and has French citizenship (on her mother's side), thus I am one of those rare Americans who actually does not mind being corrected by a Frenchman! Unfortunately we are an increasingly rare breed.  :) --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 09:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

KJACK ARTICLE!

Hi there,

You helped to erroneously delete an article that I authored. KJACK. The user user:Kjack1680 who began the deletion process is not a regular user of wikipedia and apparently suggested the article for deletion for personal reasons. That article was created as a historical account of an ACTUAL and functioning radio station that I helped to start. I have been doing MASSIVE amounts of work on the article and it is now all gone. Please help me to get the article back on or at least get the content back so that I may do what I need to get it back up in the future.

Replied on this user's talk page - 08:20, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I guess my concern now becomes how to prove this article notable and how to source it. Before creating any content on the article, I researched several other college radio stations and tried to emulate many of those. The station was something that I helped to start and is an integral part of the Northern Arizona University School of Communications. I am no longer a student there nor am I involved directly with the station. I have been gathering content from fellow graduates who worked at the station as well as faculty that were involved. How can I go about proving notability and citing sources that are largely first-hand account? If you could post the article to my user page so that I may back up the entry locally on my machine while I try to get my questions answered I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for all your help and speedy reply. Also thanks for your understanding. Joshuah Hounshell 08:54, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Virtual Worlds: The Next Realm in Advertising?

Hi

My Name is Bill Nissim and I posted "Virtual Worlds: The Next Realm in Advertising?" I am the author and hold the copyright exclusively.

I posted my article, but it seems that it was rejected because someone re-printed my article on the web. Also, I have several articles dating back to 2003 that I'l like to post and have been published on the web over the years. How to I post to Wikipedia without running into this same problem?

Thanks for you help.

templates

Thank you very much for your help. Curious problem since I saved them successfully at least once, and the page rendered as expected at that point. The problem came up when at one point I decided to swap the code for two templates, and the code for {{Sumo basho award}} is currently sitting in User:Csernica/Sandbox/Sumo/Sansho which I can get to just fine -- or was able to get to just fine; it has a problem now too. This makes me thing the trouble has to do with referencing templates that don't currently exist, or end up with an infinite recursive loop. That's a problem I hadn't considered would arise, but I think that must be it. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

That appears to have been it. Saving them in the correct order had good results. I really should have thought of the edit link on my own, so I'm sorry to have troubled you with this. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Switch Access Scanning

I can also send an email notifying Wikipedia that they can take articles from my website right. This has to be done by sending an email to a specific address and from the axistive.com domain.

Sunfitters Beach Shop

Hello Lucas. You deleted the page wiki/Sunfitters_Beach_Shop. I would ask you to restore the page please. Using the reasons you stated for deleting Sunfitters' page, will you also purge half the companies under Category:Online_retail_companies_of_the_United_States? Would you remove the companies listed under Category:Companies_based_in_Massachusetts? Would you delete virtually the entire list under Category:Companies_established_in_2006?

Sunfitters is something unique. It is creating a whole new retail category called the Beach Shop. Unlike surf shops who provide items to active sports enthusiasts, Sunfitters caters to North American adults 25-45 years of age who are traveling to a beach destination. I say respectfully that you, Lucas, are not among this market. You are not living in North America and you are not 25-45 years of age.

Please restore the page you deleted on May 23: namely, wiki/Sunfitters_Beach_Shop

Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Modestmerchant (talk • contribs)

Hi,

I will like to know why emerging entertainment was deleted..and so for the link to it is deleted as well. If there is any violation,could you give any comments or guide as this is the first time using wiki. Isnt wiki suppose to be reference

Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.120.68.75 (talk • contribs)

Shared IP, replying here

Hi, Emerging Entertainment has been deleted, 3 times, because it was an article about a company that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject, then because it was an advertisement for the subject and a copyright violation of the company website. We have certain criteria companies need to meet to be included in Wikipedia. I invite you to read them. The article creation has been disabled after the 3rd deletion in a row. If you can show me why this company meets our inclusion criteria, I am willing to reconsider of course :). -- lucasbfr ^talk 11:24, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

PRODs

Hello. I noticed that you were deleting prods today that hadn't yet reached 5 days. I doubt that the results would have been any different for most or them, but it is possible that someone may have removed the tag and made a valid case for keeping the article on the 5th day. I certainly wouldn't undelete any of them, but in the future, you might just want to wait a bit longer before you delete them. The template has recently been changed so that the text at the top turns red when the 5 days are past, so I make it a habit to not delete any until I see that. Best regards. --After Midnight ⁰⁰⁰¹ 02:12, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Dynamic Submission

I don't want to break GFDL by erasing the history, so maybe we should undelete the article, and then I'll clean it up. What do you think? Jehochman ^Talk 18:55, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

I've cleaned up the article User:Jehochman/Dynamic Submission. Do you want to have a look at it and see if it should be copied back into mainspace? The owners of the software probably won't be too happy with this version, but I think it's fair and NPOV. One challenge is that some of the references are old paper, so there's no easy way to check them. Notability is marginal at best. Jehochman ^Talk 09:17, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Question on AfD for The Promise (Brianna Rieffel song)

I noticed that you had put up the AfD template, following the removal of the CSD template from this page. However, the AfD that the template links to is for Brianna Rieffel, not the song. I'm just wondering if you were planning to take action dependent on that AfD decision, or if you had misidentified the singer's AfD from the Song article (which isn't the same, nor is the song nommed in that Afd AFAICT.) Sorry for being a Wikidork (I think both are NN), just don't want to see any of the work undone on a DRV process appeal. LaughingVulcan 18:56, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Oh, Snap! Sorry for being an incorrect Wikidork as well - just reread the top of the AfD and saw that you had included the songs, even if they weren't listed by name in the AfD. (Nevermind, nothing to see here...) LaughingVulcan 19:01, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Eagle Talon

Hello, a friend of mine suggested you to help me. I have been involved in a dispute on the Eagle Talon page, where a user called User:Spoolintsi added images of a heavilly modified facelifted Talon. Now, images of highly modified cars are obviously not allowed, since they would fail in being discriptive of the details of the car. Anyways, me and User:IFCAR, a friend of mine, reverted his edits a few times. So he took to creating a sockpuppet called User:MikeTSIawd, and continued edit warring. I thought that since the accounts were new, I got the page just semi protected. But, the original account got around it, and continued to edit war. They also took to trolling on the talk page, talking about how teh current images disgrace the car. All that aside, Checkuser confirmed that MikeTSIawd is a sockpuppet of Spoolintsi, and all my work to get this taken care of through the systems has gotten nowhere. I can tell from their contributions that they all they done is edit war on the Talon page, and that is all they will continue to do. Pretty much, I am hoping that you will able to do something to end this, so I will not have so sit forever with the page protected, so this petty dispute can be ended before it gets out of hand.

Re: Freddie Mercury and prodding

Hi – thanks for the message. I'm glad for the break – I've been working on one of those articles written by themselves for themselves, and I'm feeling a little loopy. It took me 20 minutes to get the photos off that article. I'm a sucker for punishment – I watch the Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/COIReports to find WP:COI problems, and it serves me right. I finally threw up my hands and gave it my best contribution – a {{prod}} tag. I'd speedy it but it claims notability, so a prodding we will go.

Anyway, user pages that aren't speedy deletion candidates go to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion per WP:CSD#User_pages. They debate lots of them over there and most of them go the way of... well, Freddie. Ah, Freddie... I _adore_ Freddie, and I'm going to go put on A Night at the Opera right now to cure my headache. Wow, that's two ways your message helped me tonight! Thanks!! :-D Let me know if I can help with anything! – KrakatoaKatie 08:22, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, there's nothing like ambiguity for admins who have to follow the rules.

Hello...

Since I really have no clue who you are and I've never been involved with you on Wikipedia, I feel that whatever I'm going to say to you is not going to bite me back in the arse. Here's the situation: For months, other editors and myself have been involved in a ArbCom case and many disputes with a user call TingMing (talk · contribs). He/she was blocked indef. for distruptive edits, personal attacks and creating SOCKs to carry out malicious attacks. After he/she was banned indef. He/she created 4 or 5 more SOCKs to push his/her extreme POV and vandalise the userpages of those heavily involved with the ArbCom or involved in the process to have this user banned. Due to recent events, many editors have been vigilant in looking for similar edits to that of TingMing (talk · contribs). One user in particlular has caught the attention of the editors who have dealt with TingMing (talk · contribs): the user Heqong (talk · contribs). His/her edits follow the same MO as TingMing (talk · contribs), he/she has deemed the edits of people who do not agree with him/her as vandalism, and he has attempted to blacken my username through several "legal", if you can called certain Wikipedia function that, manuverings and has tried several tactic to attempt to scare me. As of 22:11, 13 June 2007 (UTC), a CU has been filed against the user Heqong (talk · contribs) to determine if he is a SOCK of TingMing (talk · contribs) and the CU's reply was that it was "likely". Based on this CU answer, and based on the similarities of the MOs of TingMing (talk · contribs) and Heqong (talk · contribs), I ask that you block Heqong (talk · contribs) to prevent any more personal attacks and extremist POV pushing from this particular user.

Orphaned non-free image (Image:Euro banknotes2.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Euro banknotes2.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image 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 images 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 any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 07:21, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

To be honest I am not a big fan of signature books :). I don't mind people making some but I normally don't sign them. So making one would be calling the WP:KETTLE at me ;). But thanks for the proposal! -- lucasbfr ^talk 21:56, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Sarkozy

Hey

It's mentioned a couple of times in the article he was born in Budapest. Only the template at right showed 'Paris'. That's why I changed that one (and added it in the introduction). Have you changed them all? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Twerbrou (talk • contribs) 18:05, 21 June 2007.

Wow... so he has a whole list of them?

I'll be more than happy to go through all those inflammatory userboxes and mark them all for mfd. This sort of garbage is not acceptable on Wikipedia.--Flamgirlant 11:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Bossaball

The Bossaball article was recently deleted due to copyright violation. I recreated a stub. You just deleted it because it was "about a club or group that does not assert significance". But it's not about a club or group, it's about a sport. It gets 60000+ hits on Google. There are a couple dozen links to Bossaball from other wikipedia pages. Sounds like it meets the notability requirements to me. So instead of deleting other people's work for no reason, make it better. Rracecarr 15:07, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

User:Chainsofhell

Were you aware that I had very recently removed the speedy tag from this page? Did you really think this was Blatent advertising? DES ^(talk) 17:11, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I didn't consider thst it was "blatent" as it simply named the band, did not give a link, did not in any real sense advertise beyond mentioning its existance, did not praise the band with so much as the word "good". Do you really feel that this is Blatent spam, on a user page at that? Perhaps my view is out of step here. You should know that I have raise the matter at WP:AN asking if my views have any support or not. DES ^(talk) 17:56, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

"Over the next few days, Wikipedia should allow editors to work on Boh3m3's entry. It's been protected in order to prevent further editing for a while now; but I'm fairly confident I can bring it back, at least temporarily. Since I don't know as much about him as some of you do, I'll need your help.

Boh3m3's deleted page

Page undelete discussion

We might need to write an article off of Wikipedia first before handing it to admins for approval. If you want to get started now, keep in mind nearly every bit of info must be sourced. Ideally, any pictures must be taken by YOU or signed off on by their creators.

EDIT: Page is back. We still need a picture of boh3m3 that has been signed off by its creator for noncommercial use: see the licensing information under Smosh's or Barats and Bereta's picture for a better idea of what I'm talking about. Pictures you might have taken of him at "As One" are acceptable."

that is my entire argument on why the Ben_Going article is bias, advertising and needs review for ethics. Heideggger 17:41, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Please take a look at Ben Going's deletion review, which is in doubt, and then his recent AfD. If you want, look at my 6 post history at boh3m3.net. Nothing bad happened. The page's detractors, however, had a good amount of meat puppets at the AfD. user:heideggger is taunting me. Ichormosquito 22:10, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

2007 NEXTEL All-Star Challenge

Recently you warned me for vandalizing Wikipedia after editing the article 2007 NEXTEL All-Star Challenge. I had a look at the history of the article to see if my account had been hacked into, and my account wasn't in the history. The only user who has vandilized it is DX-Kevo. I would like to know why my account has been credited with this edit and would you please take the warning off my talk page because if I do it I may get blocked.

Re: My concern about your username

Hi. I'm new here. I reviewed the username policy and found no conflict. What section do you believe it violates? My username expresses my own personal opinion that wikis are politically structured in a republican form and insinuates nothing of my affiliation with this or other wikis.

I read the discussion I somehow managed to rouse on the administrator notice board. I can only assume Crazytales was offended by my opposition to their Rfa and has resorted to personal attacks.

I am making every effort to ensure Wikipedia is of high scholarly quality.

Listing a business

Thank you for your answer. I will apologize ahead of time for being so ignorant when it comes to this site. I have tried to create a page about Luzier Personalized Cosmetics. A company that originated in Kansas City in 1923, building still stands and is listed on the Kansas City Historical Registry. Even after reading your suggestions I'm still not quite sure why it would have been deleted. If I'm wanting to list Luzier Personalized Cosmetics and a brief description of their history how would I go about doing this without having the entry deleted? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.136.154.165 (talk • contribs) 18:33, 26 June 2007.

Chalenging deletion

Hello Lucas,

Wellcome back from your wikibreak. Hope exams went well.

I noticed that you deleted my article on the company Welltec. I do realize that companies should not be advertised, however, other articles on companies in the same line of business are active on wikipedia. Please tell me what I need to correct to not have the article deleted.

Trend Drinks- denial of allegation of infringement of copyright

I note that you have aslleged that I have infringed copyright, and you have deleted factual material from the article I have writtemn on this subject.

I am very disappointed that you have made this unfounded allegation, and I suggest that you retract it and that you reinstate the material you have deleted, which is factual in nature.

For your information, Trend Drinks are a well known regional soft drink supplier in South Australia, and they are a supplier of ginger beer to the Kenewek Lowender in the Copper Coast region of South Australia. Their history is interesting, and is parto f a tradition of South Australian independent niche market food producers.

The material I have presented is factual in nature.

If you wish to remove it, then I invite you to reinstate the information with your own original material so that thne quaklity of information is maintained.

Otherwise, kindly reinstate the material you have deleted. I consider your precipitous action could be regareded as vandalism- I hope that is not the case. I leave it up to you to do somnething positive and constructive in the near future. Fitzpatrickjm 10:01, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Further to my earlier comment. please note that i am from South australia, which is where Trend drinks are made. I must query whether you have any personal knowledge of Trend drinks or whether you have researched the subject! I do await your reply with some interest! Fitzpatrickjm 10:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Replied on this user's talk page - 10:31, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

You're wrong! I have been in communication with the proprietor of the website, and they have confirmed:

1. The material I have presented is a matter of historical fact; and

2. They do not claim copyright in historical facts.

Accordingly, there is no basis to your allegations.

In the circumstances, I believe it is fair for you to provide an apology and to retract your erroneous (and serious) allegation.

Needless to say, I will be reinstating trhe factual material so that Wikipedia can present the facts!

Also, for the record, I note that you have not presented any evidence of qualifications in the field of copyright law.

Board elections

I see you have been a busy bee! You might like to have a look at the translated hustings for DragonFire1024. I found that the english text was poorly written, and the ideas expressed are either vague or ambiguous. Thus the translation has posed me some with some difficulty. Because of this, I am not sure that I have given the text the correct meaning. Let me know. Ohconfucius 02:22, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Deletion Request

Hey, its Darth Skynyrd. I'm sorry but I can't log in as Dusty669211 b/c I forgot the password to it. And if you think I made it up and I'm just trying to delete somebody I don't like's file, just look at Dusty669211's page history. I changed it to its current, humourous state like at least month ago, and I think that if Dusty669211 was someone else besides me, they would have reverted my changes a long time ago.

I know what you're thinking, but you're just going to haveto trust me. I know I've been a real wikipain in the butt in the past, but I'm really trying to make a change now. All I'm asking is that you delete User:Dusty669211's userpage and his subpages.

Sincerely,

DarthSkynyrd
