Re: Hipcrime vandal

Yes, I suppose the spam blacklist would work until they moved the content to another page - I don't recall what the exact process is to get things there, but I will look into it. I'm sort of curious what the original source of this is, since we have again been hit from several different IPs the moment the protection expired. On the other hand, I don't really have a problem with keeping those articles semi-protected for long stretches of time. (ESkog)(Talk) 05:11, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

New Essay

Hey Crossmr - I just posted an essay at WP:WTAF that I think is relevant to our work at List of social networking websites. I would welcome your comments and improvements. UnitedStatesian (talk) 15:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Feedback at my sandbox

Thanks for providing feedback on the article. Do you think this version can be used after this article becomes unprotected? I removed the empty headings, because I was looking for possible sources but there were none. Feel free to edit or provide more feedback or invite other editors to contribute in the future. Thanks. миражinred 23:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Question

Hey Crossmr. I just noticed the warning you sent me. I believe I was submitting relevant information. I guess my question is, why do you feel that gamespot and IGN reviews are legitimate while Gamepro reviews are considered spam and are deleted? I like all those websites and feel that wiki users could use as many perspectives as possible. Your reply would be much appreciated. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deasterday1 (talk • contribs) 22:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Assassin's Creed

Is there a reason that you deleted the two external links?. I didn't want to undo your edit if there is actually a reason that I don't know about. MrKIA11 (talk) 23:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

The article IRC-Galleria

Hi there. I see you added a notability tag on the article IRC-Galleria. I think, however, that notability is asserted but the sourcing could use work so I switched to a {{refimprove}} tag. What do you think? --KFP (talk | contribs) 21:04, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... Perhaps. I don't know much about the site nor am I very interested in it. Perhaps someone else will dig up more reliable sources for it. Cheers, --KFP (talk | contribs) 22:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Woophy

It seems that you were trying to list Woophy for deletion. However, you didn't follow all the instructions -- you have to create the discussion page, and add the AfD tag to the Woophy page itself. If you want, I can create the AfD page for you. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:42, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Never mind, I should've known better; seems I just jumped the gun. Carry on. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 00:44, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD script

After taking a look at your monobook, I see that your code isn’t quite right. The correct template usage is:

{{subst:afd2 | pg=PageName | cat=Category | text=Reason the page should be deleted}} ~~~~

per WP:AFD#How to list pages for deletion. —Travistalk 02:48, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

I was disappointed to see this image deleted. If you do bring it back, please let me know, as I use it in my welcome template...or used to until I noted it was gone today. Best,Kukini hablame aqui 01:09, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank You, But i will feel free to ask any questions on my talk page from now on! Cammy:) (talk) 09:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Opinion wanted on ANI

I would value your contribution at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Proposed community topic ban for User:Tkguy on Asian fetish. Cool Hand Luke 06:16, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Heh. They just got rid of the one edit. Ok, I deleted them, but an admin would be able to look them up because oversight is different than deletion. This prevents the world from seeing it, at least. (History may take a while to be refreshed from the server, but it's gone past your copyright warning). Cool Hand Luke 06:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Vkontakte.ru

Why you have removed the reference to clause vkontakte.ru from the List_of_social_networking_websites? Sorry for my English.--Insider51 (talk) 01:33, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

This article have first place in Russia, and 98 place in the world (54 now). Where I can challenge removal? Why analog project odnoklassniki.ru you have left in the list.--Insider51 (talk) 01:46, 17 January 2008 (UTC)


TeenSpot

You've removed TeenSpot from List_of_social_networking_websites citing WP:WEB, but that assumes that the article on TeenSpot does not qualify for inclusion into Wikipedia under WP:WEB. As the article still exists, and until such time that the current dispute over the article's inclusion is resolved, it is still on Wikipedia and thus still appropriately fits on the List of social networking websites. If and/or when TeenSpot gets removed from Wikipedia, it seems only then would it need to be removed from the List. Smeggysmeg (talk) 00:00, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

  • I've noticed your vote in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/TeenSpot, and it looks like that has inspired your action on the List of social networking websites. I would think it inappropriate that you are editing with a personal agenda in mind, as TeenSpot, until its article is removed, still qualifies for inclusion in the list. Smeggysmeg (talk) 00:03, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Mixi

Just thought you should know you got a bit mixi'd up here. with your dates... Rich Farmbrough, 12:34 22 January 2008 (GMT).

Stupid Editing!

I want to know why you think it is appropriate to redirect navboxes such as the Sims. The Sims Series navbox has a few links to The Sims 2 related articles. This was in much more detail. OK, i'm a new user but really you don't need to do things like that. Why did you do that redirect? —Preceding unsigned comment added by SimpsonsFan2008 (talk • contribs) 20:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Tzarburdenofthecrownbox.jpg

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Tzarburdenofthecrownbox.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) 00:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Notability on VOIS.com

Hello,

Just wanted to talk with you here about some stuff. I'm the guy who created the article VOIS.com. What you say there is prefectly normal, so my question is, what do you think I should search and what do you think it will prove that this site is notable?

There are other articles with bad notability and i'm not using this as an argument. I already added the notability tags to:

Consumating, Nexopia, Sportsvite.

I'm not doing this for revenge or some other things, i'm doing this because it's not fair to others, and also that's the wikipedia policy, right?

So please check that articles and tell me if they are notable.

VOIS.com sponsored a indi race car and they are not notable, and other used forum links as sources.

Thanks --PET (talk) 15:10, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Merge Place names considered unusual & Toponymy

Greetings, did you suggest this?

I've just removed the merge header from Toponymy - (been there for 7 weeks) but realised Place names considered unusual is still there -- how long are merge proposals supposed to hang around for??

Hope to hear from you, Regards. BlueOrb (talk) 09:29, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Core

I was wondering if you had any opinions on this (specifically regarding the selection of Korean films). Currently, the ten Korean films on the list are selected solely on the basis of user votes on IMDb. I've already raised several concerns on the talk page, but some other opinions (of any kind) would be helpfull. Regards. PC78 (talk) 04:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Attacking a user?

I think you’ll find that it is Collectatonian who was attacking me and another user, I only quoted what he said because I believed it was only fair the editor knew, and did not say anything derogatory about Collectatonian specifically. Edito*Magica (talk) 10:23, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Look I really don’t want to be at war with you as well; if you read what I have put you’ll find there is nothing on there that is attacking the user. True I referred to her as a “nightmare” but a part from that I was explaining to another editor what she has said, and how I am determined not to let her bullying tactics progress. It’s hardly attacking and I hope my explanation has cleared up any confusion. All the best. Edito*Magica (talk) 21:27, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

RE: User:Marcopolis

Sorry, my Korean is non-existant! :) I hope you can work things out with this user, though; a lot of the photographs he's uploaded appear genuine enough, so it would be a pity to scare him off. Perhaps it would be best to ask for help on the project's talk page? Regards. PC78 (talk) 16:03, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Zecco.com

I'm a little shocked at how quick people are to label an article as spam instead of taking it at face value. And then go on to cast aspersions on the author's motivation. My motivation is irrelevant. What is relevant are the simple principles of notability, verifiability and relevance of the topic. Instead of trying to tear me down, why don't we work together to clean up both the spammy list of social networking websites and the articles about some of the companies driving the fascinating upheavals in the retail financial services industry right now. --Sabinspeiser (talk) 01:20, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
