Qxz

Ive noticed him over the last few weeks as a fellow RC patroller. Haven't seen him for a bit. Noticed your minus characters on a userpage so I went for a look and what happend Did he have a meltdown or something? Lots of activity in his contributions so I was hoping someone could give me the jist of it. If you don't know thats fine. Just wonder if where he went? Thanks for your time --Xiahou 23:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)


Please unprotect Qxz's talk page. I'd like to post a message there. Thank you. The Transhumanist   04:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

No. I'm sorry, but I protected that page for a reason. I regard Qxz's repeatedly stated wish not to be pestered as primary to your desire to post a message. I will gladly unprotect the talk page if Qxz makes a request. Please don't take this personally. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 04:44, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Please direct me to the policy or precedent on protecting talk pages. As far as I know, talk pages are not supposed to be protected. It circumvents their very purpose. I look forward to your reply. The Transhumanist   04:57, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps the most relevant pages are meta:Right to vanish & meatball:RightToLeave. I am not inclined to enter an argument about the philosophy behind talk pages, although there is an ongoing discussion here. If you are looking for some way to contest this protection, I suggest you make a request at WP:RPP. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 05:09, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia provides a way to vanish. One can cancel his user account and have his userpage deleted at anytime. There is no precedent that I know of for blocking a talk page, except in the case of vandalism, and then only as a last resort. See WP:UP#Use of page protection for user pages. The Transhumanist   05:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Antidote, I'm really sorry but I unprotected the talk page before I had any idea that The Transhumanist was basically forum shopping on the various noticeboards. I fully agree with your initial protection and I have no problem with you reprotecting it if you feel that would be appropriate. I'm sorry. Cheers, Sarah 06:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Princess Sailor Moon Image

Please undelate that image. I undstand your point on most of the other images (I don't agree with it but thats just me), but this image was being used correctly. It is the only image of her we have. We need it to show that form of the charcter. Lego3400: The Sage of Time 15:47, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

User:212.139.13.129

I just was trying to avoid falsely claiming to have admin. powers, which I've seen very serious measures taken for people who have done so, which the banned user 1B6 has done.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 20:20, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

I am certainly not. Whenever I claim that a user page would be protected for trolling, or that a user will be blocked for vandalism, trolling, etc., I always mean that that an administrator will carry these actions.(You wrote in your edit summary that distinction is moot. I was thinking that you were refering that Wikipedia is not a moot court, and that I was making it into when I quoted "Non-administrative notice", so I stopped after that.) The reason that I know about 1B6 is that I'm curious about what users have done in the past that got them banned. I request that you run a checkuser request to prove that I am not this user, though we may share the same IP addresses. I don't know how shared IPs work.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 01:15, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I've sent you two emails. I think that's more than enough.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 01:39, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

I also emailed User:UninvitedCompany, requesting a checkuser action on this, though I don't think I can follow the instructions on the request for checkuser page, which I'm guessing is essential.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 01:41, 1 April 2007 (UTC)


Does this mean that I don't have to worry about 1B6 framming me, because we don't have the same IP addresses?(I was worried that I was being frammed, and thought that we for some reason had the same IP address, but I'm guessing that the "Unrelated" means not, but I'm just checking for sure.)--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. (talk • contribs) 22:49, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support.

Dear Anetode/archive 7,

Thank you very much for your kind words and supportive comments on my recent RfA. I've been shot down again, so it won't be happening this time. I hope, though, that I can hear from you again next time around - and there definitely will be a next time.

Best wishes,

Re: Comment from Anetode

You know, at first I tried to help by protecting this page after seeing the amount of irritation it had apparently caused you. The apology for doing so, and the rest of the note, were probably not a good idea, but now I don't care. Your treatment of this whole thing has been just immature. Yes, Wikipedia is a bureaucracy with too many pedantic pricks running about. Yes, users littering your talk page with inane barnstars and admin nomination requests can wear thin after a while. But then just exploding, taking your stress out on others, and admonishing those who dare try to lend support - all of this is just plain childish. You want to retire? Go ahead, everyone appreciated the work you have done. But then don't check your talk page every day and leave insulting messages, no one here deserves your abuse. Leave with grace, like others have done, even though they grew tired of Wikipedia. Or, better yet, stop the whole drama queen act, assume some responsibility, and come back to helping us make this a worthwhile project. Don't talk to the users you don't like, don't frequent areas that tick you off, contribute in a way that brings only enjoyment to you. Or don't, it's your choice, but know that your attitude is transparent. ˉˉanetode╦╩ 21:11, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Apologies for irritating you and anyone else who I may have irked along the way. On balance your decision to protect the page was probably a good one. It would have been fine had nobody made a fuss.
I'm not leaving because I've grown tired of Wikipedia. I would have gone a lot more calmly if I were. You're free to find fault in the manner of my departure (and I readily confess there is much to be found), but please bear in mind that doing so doesn't help anyone. Yes, my conduct was less than satisfactory, for which I have already apologized, and yes, my behaviour may be viewed as childish.
I wish I could simply "not talk to the users I don't like", but that just isn't possible. Not any more, for any length of time. I wish it were, but it isn't. I'm sorry. My actions were wrong, and I should have seen this coming and found a more constructive way to go about things. I understand that the continued reading and blanking of messages on my talk page may be viewed as unacceptable, and I shall stop doing so. If you feel I've violated a policy, by all means take things further.
A bit of explanation, which should hopefully show you why my departure has nothing to do with barnstars or anything remotely along those lines. I didn't really want people knowing about this (other than those I told privately) because I didn't want to cause unncecessary hassle, however it is perhaps best to be honest. This is not my only account. I have been contributing for eighteen months. I was an administrator for six months. I got frustrated with the project in January and briefly quit, decided I might be able to make things work if I came back under a different name and started afresh, did so, but only delayed the inevitable and ended up much worse off as a result. User:Gurch is my other account. Take any action which you feel may be necessary. In hindsight, this was a very bad idea, for which I apologize once again. I will, as you request, go properly this time.
Thank you and good luck – Qxz 22:18, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

Anetode, I'm not sure why you felt it necessary to strike your comment from User talk:Qxz. Regardless of the user's secret past identity, their actions were as you described. —Doug Bell 00:31, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

  • Thanks for the support position. However, I've decided to withdraw my acceptance because of real WP:CIVIL concerns. I will try again later when I've proven to myself and others that my anger will no longer interfere with my abilities as a Wikipedia editor.

Chronic inflammation

Hey, thanks for the wikifying and proper formatting of this article. As to answer ur summary question, I dont think one way or the other, whether it should be seperated out or not into an individual article. However it has been requested to be made into an article here: *http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Applied_arts_and_sciences/Medicine and here:

Hey thanks for the quick reply. Thanks for the advice about summary style, will deffinetely keep it in mind when creating new articles from now on.

Game Tech

Please undelete this page, I was not given sufficient time to respond to the deletion notice.
Game Tech were UK video game import retail pioneers and significantly contributed to the UK Video Game import scene in the 90's. Game tech's Parent company "Red Rat Software" were a major players and influence in the 80's 8bit video games industry.

As the retail arm of "Red Rat Software" (article to be created) the article will contain significant reference & timeline importance. It also provides a unique insight into the video games industry in the 90's. The article will document shifts in consumer perceptions around the import scene etc. Spark010 13:23, 8 April 2007 (UTC)—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Spark010 (talk • contribs) 13:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

    The Chasing Game

    Hello, Anetode. I have a bone to pick with you. You recently deleted the page for a band, "The Chasing Game." Well, I noticed there are MANY other pages for musical bands on Wikipedia. I do not understand why you would delete any of this information, for there are no copyrighted materials and nothing is offensive. So please take this into consideration before deleting this page. It is not Spam!!!!!! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sk8erhawk (talk • contribs) 15:43, 8 April 2007 (UTC).

    Xxzotic

    I don't understand why my article keeps being deleted. What can I do to keep it available? I am not trying to promote Xxzotic, I am trying to provide information about Xxzotic. It's not propoganda, it's just information. Should I edit the content or am I not allowed to post anything about her at all?

    Article: Xxzotic


    If you think that there is a copyright violation from http://2007.sxsw.com/music/showcases/band/53495.html, there isn't. I authored that bio and provided it for the South by Southwest registration kit.

    _______________________

    If I can't create an article because I'm connected to her, that's fine. But she does meet the "Criteria for musicians and ensembles" on the "Wikipedia:Notability (music)" page.

    She meets number 10 because her single "Caught Up" is in light rotation nationally. And she meets number 6 because neither Little Rock, nor Arkansas for that matter, has ever had a rap artist added to national rotation.


    _______________________

    Thanks for understanding. I will send the email right away and leave the article for others to edit.

    Following up on the reference above to WP:MUSIC:
    6. Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.
    • Does this mean the first rapper from Little Rock gets an article? The first new age cellist? The first techno-funk metal classicist?
    10. Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.
    • The phrase, "currently in light national rotation", seems a little sketchy ("light rotation"??)
    Most importantly, there's nothing meeting WP:RS in this article. Google's just turning up 113 unique hits.[1][2]--A. B. (talk) 05:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
    All valid concerns. Are you considering nominating this article for deletion? ˉˉanetode╦╩ 05:28, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
    Not yet -- I've tagged it for notability. Hopefully, someone will find good sources. Otherwise, I'll support deletion. --A. B. (talk) 06:17, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

    Atombomb

    Agree it can be useful as a redirect, but the redirect doesn't "work", and I can't fix it as you have protected the page. I suspect the problem is the lack of capital letters? Or am I to sleepy now? Greswik 16:37, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

    Fair use

    The fair use rationales you add to images are wholly inadequate. The fair use rationale must say why the particular image is being used in particular articles. Do not add those types of rationales in the future. It only delays the deletion, it doesn't prevent it. Your doing so has been highly disruptive. Either write a full fair use rationale or let the image get deleted. The problem isn't with the format, it is with the content, or lack thereof. I continue to dispute the fair use of those images and will tag them with {{db-badfairuse}} after the appropriate amount of time. Jay32183 04:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    I'm not passing the buck. I actually know you won't be able to justify the particular image you're attempting to. I can't actually point you to a good one because almost all of them are bad. But basically it has to say that "This image is being used in this article because..." but not necessarily in those words. You can't just say the image is being used for critical commentary, it must be specific and detailed. Simply coming from the episode in question is not sufficient. You may wish to read WP:FUC prior to disrupting proper processes. Jay32183 05:04, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
    I am using the template correctly, and it is a speedy deletion criteria. The fair use rationale is inadequate, so no discussion is needed. Since the image desrciption page does not explain how the image satisfies FUC#8, it fails FUC#10. I am following the proper method. You actions so far have only been disruptive, especially your original removal of the {{no rationale}} tag with a fair use rationale that didn't explain anything. Do not do that again. Jay32183 05:19, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    Third opinion

    I have provided a third opinion regarding the image and the fair use dispute at Image_talk:019.jpg.

    CSD Picture deletion

    You just deleted a picture that I had found uploaded, but didn't know how to file for CSD. What could I file the picture as so that admins would delete a vandal only picture? - Hairchrm 18:46, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    STF Picture deletion

    Greetings. You just deleted image STF.jpg, which I uploaded today. I obtained it from www.stf.gov.br, the Brazilian Supreme Court website. The idea was to insert this picture in the corresponding article (Brazilian Supreme Court, for some reason translated to "Supreme Federal Tribunal" in Wikipedia). Anyway, before uploading the image, I checked the copyright status in the aforemetioned website, where it clearly states:

    "As fotos desta página podem ser usadas gratuitamente. O crédito para o Supremo Tribunal Federal deve ser mencionado." See: http://www.stf.gov.br/noticias/imprensa/fotos/default.asp?tip_foto=FSTF

    That translates to: "The pictures on this page may be used free of charge. The Supreme Federal Court must be given credit".

    Thus the images can be used in Wikipedia without violation of copyright laws, but I admit I'm not completely sure about what type of license I should tag it with, because the author requires credit albeit giving authorization for use of the images.

    When uploading, I wasn't too comfortable about considering it "public domain", so I went for the "non commercial" tag. That was a silly mistake I made, because the author doesn't really establish this restriction.

    I'm new to uploading pictures. Could you give me a hand on the correct tag for this one? Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sparks1979 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 14 April 2007 (UTC). Second edit (forgot to sign...) Sparks1979 22:30, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

    Hello again anedote.
    After reading your reply and getting more familiar with copyright rules for the use of images in Wikipedia, I’m now convinced the picture I tried to upload doesn’t meet the requirements for the project.
    However, I found a way out of this. I’ve uploaded a new STF.jpg picture which I got from Agência Brasil. I’ve learned pictures produced by Agência Brasil are licensed under Creative Commons Attribution 2.5.
    Here is the source for the file:

    User issue

    Hi-- I'm new to Wikipedia and recently had an image deleted by User Jay32183. He argued that because it was a promotional image from a TV show it was not fair use. I replied that I could put up a TV screenshot instead, and he said that would not be fair use either. I tried to post a reasonable fair use argument but he responded by posting that the page had been "vandalized." Well, I've given up on this image and this user, and tried to delete it but I guess I don't have the privileges to do so. I noticed that you recently had a similar problem with this user over fair use of an image and it looks like he used the same insulting tone with you. It looks like he's been deleting a number of other images as well. I have no idea what procedures Wikipedia has for censuring a user, but I think he should be told to treat other users at least with some respect and give people a chance to argue their side. Thanks for your time. --Dave451 23:15, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

    Thank you for not holding our disagreement against me in dealing with this different situation. I will hold no grudge against you as well. Jay32183 17:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

    uncertain fair use claims

    Hi Anetode. I could use some advice. I'm clearing some backlogs and running across images that don't seem to be obvious deletions as replaceable fair use. Image:Corsaire -PNB School -1.JPG, a particular dance that is purported to be historic (so could not be replaced), and Image:KUKL (band members).jpg, Image:Pláhnetan.jpg, Image:Tappi Tíkarras (members) LMB.jpg, and Image:Þeyr (members) LMB2.jpg, all photos of bands that are no longer together (couldn't be photographed together again). I'd appreciate any feedback on whether these are acceptable enough to keep or not. — coelacan — 20:09, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

    Help with Halo 2 FAC needed

    Most concerns at the Halo 2 FAC page have been addressed, however the redesign of Bungie.net has led to almost every single Bungie.net link used in the article to go 404 on us. Basically, the article doesn't stand a chance of passing anymore unless we get the links as archives using the Template:Cite web archiveurl parems. I tried contacting Bungie's tech, but they've been unresponsive. I'm going to be busy in real life more than usual, so I would appreciate it if you could lend a hand and help me if at all possible.

    A Little Unfair

    Hello,

    For some reason you deleted the details of my work as an actor from my "Daniel Ainsleigh" wikipedia page. It is not a vanity page as it is work that been broadcast. Under Wikipedia's own rulings this makes it valid for submission. I appreciate that it is people like you that keep this site a quality and useful tool and I support that. I just think that, in this case, you have been a little unfair.

    Please reconsider its content.

    Many Thanks,

    Dan

    Thank you

    Thank you for putting my filmography back up. I'm very new to Wikipedia and not entirely sure how to put information onto the page and you've made it look much simpler and better.

    I've removed this section from the RfA. This RfA was explicitly setup to NOT be a form to have voting on the candidate directly. This is, as all who have participated know, an experiment. You are tainting the field of the experiment by adding this section. The nominee has explicitly agreed to the non-vote format. If he wants it to be a classic style, he is free to have it be so at any time and have the RfA restarted in that style. That would be the appropriate direction to go.

    Request for content of deleted article

    Dear Anetode,

    A few months ago I started an article entitled Those Were The Days (Fanzine) (or TWTD for short), a fanzine dedicated to Ipswich Town. This article was deleted yesterday on notability grounds. In acting upon a suggestion within the deletion log however, I plan to copy some of the content from the deleted article and include it in the main article for Ipswich Town. Having consulted with users on the 'Help Desk' page, I was directed here as I believe you may be able to provide me with a copy of the deleted article. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,

    Ncadc2004 21:52, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

    I have now edited and merged the TWTD content into the main Ipswich Town article as a subsection, either deleting assertions or including supportive references. Thanks for your help.
