Administrator powers[edit]
If I have misused my magic powers in any way, this is the place to tell me.
Protection[edit]
Every page I protect is on the wrong version, of course, so to conserve valuable electrons, just leave a link to the page and a number from the list. Thanks.
If I accidentally protected a page to which I have made substantive edits, tell me here. I will unprotect it immediately.
Deletion[edit]
Did I speedy-delete something that wasn't a candidate? Did I delete something for which there was no consensus to delete? Tell me here.
You delete wikiarc without any trace? That does not seem constructive in my opinion. Who made you overlord of the wikiarc? --Rasmus Paludan 20:59, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- here's the trace. nobody made me overlord; I deleted it because it did not fit the criteria for inclusion of neologisms, i.e., because there are no reliable secondary sources available. any one of the 1000-odd other sysops could (and probably would) do the same. —Charles P._(Mirv) 21:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- In my opinion, your behavior is a valid secondary source! --Rasmus Paludan 21:12, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Blocking[edit]
Hi. Testing the powers of Wikipedia, my brother edited an article with my name, that you rightly deleted on 21:57, 14 Nov 2004. But now when I google my name, the only hit Google found is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_log_archive/November_2004_(2). Please, I'm asking you if you could delete me also from this entry (you can find who I am by searching in that page "21:57, 14 Nov 2004") , as I'm trying to protect my personal data and info on Internet, and I don't want my name poping up when someone google it. If you don't have the power or authorization to make this change, please, tell me to whom I need contact. My mail is antiqui.populi@gmail.com .Thank you very much, and please excuse me if this is not the right place or way to make this request, and excuse my lame english.
Rollback[edit]
Did I use the admin "rollback" feature on one of your edits without warning or explanation? Then I probably thought you were vandalizing, spamming, or otherwise editing in malice, and chances are good that you were: most of my rollbacks are of such edits. If you want to know why I reverted your edit, append your question to the end of this talk page.

the annals[edit]
[header added]
What chapter in the Annuls of Tacitus does he make mention or refers to the cruxifiction of Jesus Christ?
- Crucifixion? Nowhere. For what he does mention, see Tacitus on Jesus. —Charles P._(Mirv) 22:22, 11 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Based on your comments here, you seem relatively knoweldgeable about the current Wikipedia consensus on how to display POV images in a NPOV manner. I was hoping that you could weigh in on a similar discussion at Talk:Pope_Pius_XII#Hirschberger_image. As you can tell from that page, I have already voiced my opinion on the matter, but I would appreciate your input whether you agree with me or not in this instance. As an added benefit, it seems like you have a history of contributing to catholicism-related articles. savidan(talk) (e@) 07:10, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Economy of Africa[edit]
Hi, you were a contributor to this article, which is on the verge of being delisted as a FA. Can you return to help? Urgently requires inline citations and enhanced information in a few places. It's been copy-edited nicely by Peirigill. Tony 04:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)
For over a year this article has contained a section on Attila's youth (last 3 paras of "Background and beginnings") which appears to be based entirely on recent historical fiction... no sources are cited. I would have just deleted it but the article is listed as a core biography etc with you named as contact. So please either delete or cite a source if you know of one. 82.6.76.13 11:08, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
Mirv, since you just looked over this article and request a cite, could you care to comment on an edit war we're having? We have an editor who's removing all citations from the article that link to the Stormfront website, on the grounds that it violates wikipedia policy to link to a hate site. The concern is that to reference such a site by linking to it will only increase the Google Pagerank of the hatesite-- something no one wants, except perhaps for the few neo-nazis who come to Wikipedia. The argument is made that nothing is lost, since the references are in the history (or else hidden in comments inside the wikicode).
I'm certainly no fan of neo-nazis and racists, but I'm loathe to start prohibiting links to sites based on their political content. Can you imagine the debate to decide what is and what isn't a hate site? Sure, the Neo-Nazis and the KKK are easy calls, but how about the Nation of Islam? the Jewish Defense League? or the Westboro Baptist Church (the "God Hates Fags" people)? Ugh-- what a nightmare.
The editor doesn't cite any policy to support the idea of hiding citations, I've never heard of just doing such a thing, but I'm hesistant to just edit war against it, as that doesn't really solve anything. Do you have an opinion on the matter or how it could be resolved? --Alecmconroy 03:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Just war[edit]
I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Just war, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Just war. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
Since you worked on this article, just letting you know... Armon 00:35, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello Mirv, you uploaded this image long time back and tagged it with {{PD}} which is an obsolete tag. Could you provide some copyright information, so that a suitable tag could be put on. Regards, Shyam (T/C) 16:08, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
- {{PD}} is copyright information. I got the image from the website of the national archives of Canada; they clearly state that it is public domain, though not precisely why, and I have no reason to doubt them. I'm not sure what else is necessary. —Charles P._(Mirv) 19:57, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Possibly unfree Image:Pecorino-romano.jpg[edit]
Hello,
I have been contacted directly concerning this post: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Pecorino-romano.jpg&oldid=6520084
My permission was never granted for the useage of that image, nor was this image purchased from me for use in this manner. For the short time this image was available on SXC, about 3 years ago, ALL of my images (including this particular image) had strict copyright restrictions attached to them. Not a single image was available for commercial re-distribution or use, and none of the image in my portfolio ever had any copyrights released for public domain. My permission was never sought, nor was it givien for this image to be used in this fashion.
I know that there are many amateur photographers who openly release their images with Creative COmmons licensing or give up their rights all together. I, however, have never given up one single copyright to any image and retain all rights to all of my images. While SXC is a great resource for free image material on the net, be sure that you read the license agreement that goes under every image on the site, to avoid mistakes like this from happening in the future.
I have asked for the image submission to be removed.
Thank you, Kelly Cline —The preceding incompletely signed comment was added by Kclinephoto (talk • contribs) 07:49, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of Image:Pecorino-romano.jpg[edit]
A tag has been placed on Image:Pecorino-romano.jpg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on [[Talk:Image:Pecorino-romano.jpg|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Jeff G. 21:28, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Armour and the Battle of Tours[edit]
I left a comment for you on that Talk page. Good edit though, I don't know how I missed it. Frankish heavy infantry - and I have the sources right here - were VERY heavy, carrying up to 70 pounds of armour and equipment. Much of it was wood, by the way, but it was very effective, none the less. old windy bear 14:01, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Nick.com article returned[edit]
Jonjonbt recreated the article Nick.com on April 15. I expanded and wikified the article to make it look more professional, but should it be re-redirected to the Nickelodeon article?? — JuWiki (Talk <> Resources) 21:17, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- yes, no question. Wikipedia:Notability (web) has some helpful guidelines, and the article doesn't appear to be based on reliable secondary sources about the website itself. —Charles P._(Mirv) 21:24, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

| Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
|---|
|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. If you use someone else's by reference rather than copy, I suggest you might want to do as Cacharoth did, and give a link to a specific version. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be. If you did not list yourself, you may want to review the change records to determine who added you, and ask them why they added you. |
...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "K"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "L"s through "O"s! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. ++Lar: t/c 00:02, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Typo redirect Dark Characters in the Wheel of Time:[edit]
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Dark Characters in the Wheel of Time:, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Dark Characters in the Wheel of Time: is a redirect page resulting from an implausible typo (CSD R3).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Dark Characters in the Wheel of Time:, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Fair use rationale for Image:Constellation Records Logo.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Constellation Records Logo.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. Project FMF (talk) 22:10, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Spine of the World[edit]
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Spine of the World, 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 its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because 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. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? B. Wolterding (talk) 15:38, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way.

The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
sator square[edit]
Hi, I have a theorie concerning the stor square. What if the words don't necessarily have a meaning but the symbologie does. Showing duality that is the same just backwards and the middle path being in balance is never changing always the same.Since dualities are perceptions of the mind which make you see thing accordingly to that duality like love or hate which in the same situation have different perceptions, but hence just the same illuzion backwards. Mysticism preaches the middle path which sees things the way they are and not the way you want to see them.
