Account Creation Tool Access

Hi. I had last year requested an access to the account creation tool. Administrator Prodego had left a message that I needed to gain more experience. This year, although I've been trying to leave a new request through my old id on the ACC interface, I seem to have forgotten my password. I clicked on the "forgot my password" link, but unfortunately, the email that the ACC tool server sent me (to enable me to change my password) is invalid. Because when I click on the link, I get the message "ERROR

Invalid request. The HASH supplied in the link did not match the HASH in the database!" Can you kindly help me (1) Retrieve my password (2) Get the ACC tool access enabled? Thanks and best regards. ▒ ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ▒ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 08:49, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Fair Use image in Qwest Field

I've replied to your concern about the image of artwork in Qwest Field not meeting WP:NFCC#8. Please can you elaborate on your concern a bit. To me it doesn't seem to be any different than including a picture of a painting in an article about the painting. --SkotyWATC 16:56, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Hello Stifle. Re:

AfD for Larry Perino and others

Hi Stifle -- You properly closed the AfD for Larry Perino and others as delete and deleted the Perino article but not (yet) the other associated articles. I just wanted to highlight that six other articles were also part of that AfD. If you were getting around to deleting them but hadn't had a chance yet, sorry for jumping the gun! Thanks. - Novaseminary (talk) 16:23, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Missed those; I'll get them now. For future reference the tag {{db-afd}} is available for situations like this. Stifle (talk) 16:26, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks again. I didn't know about that template. I'll be sure to use it next time! Novaseminary (talk) 16:37, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Swinton Circle query

I don't have OTRS access so can't check this myself; please see my query on the AFD. If the person submitting the OTRS request is Alan Harvey, he is not the chairman of the Swinton Circle which is the topic of the article, but a former member who set up a breakaway group of the same name following this incident. While personally I'd consider the SC such a significant group that there are no grounds for deletion regardless of who is requesting it, others may disagree, and whether the person requesting deletion is in fact speaking on behalf of the group obviously has a significant impact on whether the request should be treated credibly. (The situation is confusing, as both groups have the same name and almost identical websites; the group which is the subject of the article is that at www.swintoncircle.org.uk, while Mr Harvey's breakaway group is that at www.netcomuk.co.uk/~springbk/lsc2.htm.) Thanks! – iridescent 19:23, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Books are not reliable sources?

Hello Stifle, I'm relatively new to the AfD process, so I'm going to ask some stupid questions. I've read your FAQ and user pages, but I still don't understand why the Keep comments that gave book sources were ignored.

I'm referring to this comment in particular: "101 Drinking Games" by Andrew Studdard, and "The Complete Book of Beer Drinking Games" by Andy Griscom list the game by its name, 'Jayred' and describe it in detail. Wicked247 (talk 23:25, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Keep comments from new and unregistered users are generally discounted at AFD discussions, and other than such users, you were the only user supporting keeping the article.
As an FYI if you're leaving me or another admin a message about an AFD we closed, please link to the exact AFD in order to ensure that we can figure out what you're talking about. Stifle (talk) 23:28, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
The article in question is Jayred. Unrelatedly, I see you copied this discussion to my talk page. I'm not entirely sure why you did that, but you want me to reply here, right? --Wicked247 (talk) 23:37, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
I copied it so that you'd get the "new messages" banner. Stifle (talk) 23:39, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh, I missed the fact you actually gave a reason. However, you didn't really answer why these sources were not acceptable? --Wicked247 (talk) 23:47, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
It is not for me to decide whether sources are acceptable or not. As the closing administrator, my task is to consider whether there is a consensus of users on either side of the debate, and where necessary to weigh arguments according to policy, custom, and practice. I'm happy with my closure and if you wish to contest it, please open a listing at WP:DRV. Stifle (talk) 19:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eberhard Booe

About 14 hours ago, User:Rvbooe gave me 24 hours notice that he's gonna take legal action for slander. I've given him the ol' NLT block, but thought as the closing admin you'd want to know. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:18, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Block evasion?

Hello.

The following accounts:

were blocked as a result of this checkuser investigation. Today, they've had their user and talk pages re-directed to those of a new account User:B-Wuuu. On B-Wuuu's user page is written:

"Broke some Wikipedia rules. Got punished. Time for a fresh start."

I've brought this to the attention of the blocking admin (User:Nuclearwarfare), but I'm also bringing it to your attention because you dealt with OTRS Ticket:2010022310001371 which invoved one of the accounts, Helicon Arts Cooperative.

Can you tell me if this "fresh start" has been approved by someone, or if this is block evasion? Thanks. Beyond My Ken (talk) 16:57, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

FYI, another editor opened an AN/I report about this situation. [2] Beyond My Ken (talk) 18:18, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Request

Dear Stifle, I should be most grateful if you would kindly look into this. This is just beyond pale. Look, this guy is insulting me left and right, for reasons I fail to comprehend. Someone should tell this person that he should know his limits and stop intimidating people. Could you please make out what e.g. "Khamenei" does in the discussion? His last comment is openly insinuating things which must have no place on Wikipedia. What is this person's point? Please also have a look at his talk page, where yesterday I pointed out to him that he had been rude to someone from Republic of Azerbaijan. He is just behaving like a bully and should be stopped. The people of this ilk put a king's name on themselves and come here and behave utterly inappropriately, perhaps playing out what they lack outside here. Should Wikipedia's administrative measures fail, I will certainly not hesitate to place him in his place at the expense of being blocked from Wikipedia. --BF 17:10, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Due to negative experiences I have had in the past, I do not intervene in disputes other users have. I suggest you open a listing at WP:3O or WP:WQA. Stifle (talk) 20:02, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

FAC

Hi there Stifle. I have attempted to fix the latter two image problems, however, the first one appears to be a derivative of a non-free photo. If I am able to, I will try to squeeze in time to search for a new infobox image. Thanks for your comments! ceranthor 23:25, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Prod

I see you prodded a lesbian film article. I am not interested in this and don't know who to add. In all fairness, you should notify the proper Wikiproject so that any interested editor can either agree with you or fix the article.

LOL! I hadn't even thought about that...or looked. :) Having done so now, I'd say marginally. One of the pictures could be the cover of a romance novel. The other one is a bit more risque. It's possible somebody else will pick it up in the meantime. I wouldn't think I'd want anybody looking over my shoulder while I was looking at either of them at work. (Fortunately, there's nobody to see me work most of the time but a dog, who is profoundly indifferent. :)) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 17:12, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Why?

Hi. I want to know why you delete my entry "Malaysian Translators Association"? Thank you.Engkamalzack (talk) 14:34, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question is answered in my FAQs. They're linked at the top of my talk page and in the editnotice. Why not check them out next time?
Malaysian Translators Association was deleted under criterion 7 (under Articles) of our criteria for speedy deletion because it appeared to be an article about an organization which didn't indicate why it was important or significant. Please see WP:ORG for details of what might show notability. If you think that these criteria are met, please explain which one and provide citations from reliable sources to back up your claim, and I will consider undeleting it.
You may alternatively file a deletion review request. Stifle (talk) 14:40, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

PACK Pneumatic Air Cycle Kit

Hello Stifle, I am totally new to editing WIKI and you are my first human interaction in the system. I edited a couple of articles and you are proposing one of them for deletion. It is about PACKs and ACMs, (Aeronautical Engineering stuff). The PACK article was actually empty and had a redirect to the ACM article. You suggest DicDef for reason for deletion, but I have not been able to find that reason in the Wikipedia context. Looking forward to my second attempt to contribute!

"Dicdef" is shorthand for "dictionary definition". Because Wikipedia is not a dictionary, articles need to be more than just a dictionary definition of their content. Feel free to expand the article and remove the proposed deletion tag. Stifle (talk) 08:15, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

KFAN (AM), whitelisting of kfantransmittertour.co.cc/index.html

I received a message on my talk page from an IP, 76.79.166.195 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) asking about a whitelisting request for kfantransmittertour.co.cc on KFAN (AM) that you had denied because the IP didn't specify the page or pages to be whitelisted. I had left a comment at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MediaWiki_talk:Spam-whitelist/Archives/2010/01#kfantransmittertour.co.cc after you denied the request, which I assume is why the IP contacted me rather than you. The main page for kfantransmittertour.co.cc/ is kfantransmittertour.co.cc/index.html (presumably this page would be the most appropriate one to whitelist). This is not a reliable secondary source in the way that a newspaper or book usually is, but appears to have been created by a staff member at the station and appears to be a useful primary source with photos and information that is not available on the station's official site. If you prefer, I can tell the IP to make a new request at the spam-whitelist page. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 23:45, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Collage Zagreb

hi ya there, hey this is my file, my photos, I've taken from various spots in Zagreb, some might be similar to few other photos posted on the net, but these are mine i took in 2008/9 and put them together to form presentation/collage of the city.


i can use some other photos to create a new collage, but i thought to use one that were more historic and not modern as i have loads of pics of skyscrapers in Zagreb, a river front and so on... cheers.

Request to undelete an entry to my userspace

Hi: Can you restore Belmont Club to my userspace? I read the blog, and the blogger complained about his article being deleted, which causes me to wonder. I'd like a look at the article, and see if I'd like to retroactively contest the prod. The PRODed version, not the G12ed version. Thanks, RayTalk 04:48, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

I'm the deleting admin, and to help let the drama subside, would you please let me undelete the article? I've gotten a whole bunch of hate messages, and I'd like to make it abundantly clear to these people that I'm not evil, that I have no particular issue with the blog in question, and I think being the one to undelete the article (normally; the article was deleted by proposed deletion) might help demonstrate that. I'll be doing so in ~12 or fewer hours , probably, so please simply give me a head start before userfying it like this—though userfying may prove to be a useful strategy should the notability be (further) questioned later.
