The Birthday Massacre‎

Yes... that did help. Thank you for clearing it up.--Dr who1975 (talk) 18:12, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

No worries. :) A reliable source with the band stating what they themselves considered their genre of music to be would be even better, if you can find one... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 18:23, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

"Color Outside the Lines"

I would prefer that Color Outside the Lines remain as a redirect, even though I doubt the title is real, because it decreases the likelihood of people creating an article there. Everyking (talk) 19:10, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

I don't like the idea of WP even acknowledging the existence of rumoured titles - as these things often have a habit of being cited elsewhere as 'according to WP' gospel (as I noticed happened recently with a fake Linday Lohan title, complete with home-made, photoshopped CD cover). Still, it wasn't deleted anyway when it came down to it. It's not really that big a deal to me - I'm not going to push the matter... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 22:05, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations

After your successful candidacy, I've now granted you admin rights. Have fun with the new tools and continuing to help the project improve. Spend some more time on the admin reading list and with the policies as necessary. I'm sure you'll do well, keep up the good work. Again, congrats! And by the way, cool user name. :) - Taxman Talk 23:18, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

  • Congratulations! And good luck with the tools, judging from your RfA the community thinks you'll do good work. Cirt (talk) 23:21, 13 December 2007 (UTC).

Blogspot is not a reliable source

Blogspot is not a reliable source, so don't add information to 4chan which is using it as a reference. Thank you.--Bestiege23 (talk) 21:34, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

In this case, I feel that the blogspot link may be permissible, per Wikipedia:SELFPUB. An announcement on the current status of 4chan from the owner of the site as a source of information about the current status of 4chan seems appropriate to me (perhaps the 'presumed attackers' line should be removed). --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 21:39, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
"there is no reasonable doubt as to who wrote it" - there is no reliable source that the blogspot page is currently edited by the website owner. you edit conflictor--Bestiege23 (talk) 21:45, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
It's an interesting point. I'm 99% certain that the blogspot page was/is linked from the site itself - but with the site down, there's no way of checking... :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 22:01, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Me too, so when the site does come back, we can add it back into the article and note it in the reference. For now, we must just wait.--Bestiege23 (talk) 22:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
Heh, when the site comes back, the hacking probably won't even be worth mentioning. Ahh, as is WP... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 22:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Your userpage pic

Hey, the picture in your userpage is awesome. Do you have any others? --Taraborn (talk) 12:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

The Birthday Massacre article

Please, change the genre it back to Synthrock, they are not neither goth nor alternative. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.142.218 (talk) 22:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Is there any need to rollback the affected edits? I can help, if you like... :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 20:26, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
thanks 'tis done. Rich Farmbrough 20:42 29 December 2007 (UTC).

Excessively deleted backlinks

I noticed you deleted backlinks to Robin White on various articles like 1991 Wimbledon Championships - Women's Singles. I'm not sure that these were referring to the same Robin White. The Robin White who was in all these tennis tournaments should certainly have an article. Is there any way you can revert all of these edits? Thanks, --dantheox (talk) 19:34, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Oops. My apologies. I have now restored all the links. The Robin White article I speedily deleted was a recently-created copyvio regarding a completely different Robin White. My script automatically removed everything that linked there. Unless the article exists under a different title, the tennis-playing Robin White doesn't have her own WP entry yet. Still, the redlinks are back for you to do with as you will. Sorry again. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 21:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

I started an article on the highly notable tennis player - US Open doubles champion, WTA stalwart for a decade etc. Hopefully the links will work now. Nick mallory (talk) 08:06, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Yup, looking good so far. Keep up the good work... :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 22:43, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Philip Therp

You deleted the article on Philip Therp without discussion and without reading the comments on the articles discussion page. The information in the article is copyright exempt - which you would have known if you had read the discussion or followed the stated sources at the bottom of the page. Good job for deleting the content. You are a dumb ass. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.152.167.241 (talk) 00:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Not according to http://www.cstv.com/ot/cs-tos.html . Also, please don't make personal attacks. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:22, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

You are a moron. CSTV.com owns the images on the site the content is owned by the university... which is a public educational institution of the university of California. IF you clicked the copyright tag at the bottom of the soruced website you would also know this. And who give a shit about personal attacks... what are you going to do about it... hit me with your big wooden cyber stick? You are by far the worst wikipedia editor i have come into contact with because you dont do your due diligence and you deleted content without even opening it up to the community for discussion.... just imagine how much quality information you have deleted over the years. You are a dumb ass. and Fuck you you fucking fuck. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ucsbgauchoman (talk • contribs) 00:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Feel free to take this to Wikipedia:Deletion review for discussion if you believe that the article was incorrectly deleted. As far as I can see, the site in question does not state specifically anywhere that the text is copyright-exempt (per WP:C, all works are copyrighted unless either they fall into the public domain or their copyright is explicitly disclaimed). Hostility and abusive comments will do nothing to aid your arguments, however. Think it over. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 01:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Repair

Thanks for the cleanup. This is related to Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Primetime#Primetime (13th request). Cheers, ·:· Will Beback ·:· 08:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Northwich Victoria

Please could you change the home strip colour as I requested on its talk page. Unfortunately noone has responded to the request yet. I have provided a link to relevant photos on Altrincham F.C.'s official website (ie. of their away game at Northwich). Thanks,

AfD nomination of The Black List Club

An editor has nominated The Black List Club, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Black List Club and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 22:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Semi-Protecting my wikipage....

Yes, that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! AbJ32 (talk) 00:59, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I have an idea. A few people from a chat room I was previously a member of are the likely suspects, and I've already asked them to please stop, and apparently they didn't listen. Going through my user page, I see they've continued to edit my page, even after I requested they stop. AbJ32 (talk) 01:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

User:Wikipuff

I don't understand why you blocked User:Wikipuff. Can you explain? rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 18:22, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Puff = abusive slang term for homosexuals. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 20:15, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Well, shows what I know about slang. If it has an abusive connotation, I guess it's a good thing to block. Clarifying this kind of thing in the block log could be helpful. rspeer / ɹəədsɹ 20:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
Fair point - consider it noted. I'm a new-ish admin and I haven't been keeping an eye on UAA for that long. All tips gratefully recieved! --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 22:45, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Lolums

If i were to get a petition by this time next month of 100 signatures or whatever, would i be able to repost my article, about the word used widely in IM conversations??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tommy Wilkins (talk • contribs) 00:01, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Tommy. Before recreating the article, you should really read the guidelines at WP:N and WP:V. The term really needs to have received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Xrayspex-consciousconsumer-cover.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Xrayspex-consciousconsumer-cover.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 08:38, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I think I have fixed this (there is a template for album covers). Can you double-check the album cover to confirm that Receiver Records are the copyright holders in the album artwork? Best wishes, DuncanHill (talk) 08:49, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Looks fair enough to me, Duncan. Thanks for fixing that up. After turning half the house over trying to find the CD (heh) - yes, I can confirm that Receiver Records are indeed the copyright holders... :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 22:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

That's at least the second account to target Jack Merridew

Along with We're gonna need an assfootologist stat. HalfShadow (talk) 03:40, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

So, any idea whose socking it is this time? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 03:42, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
No idea. But then, I don't have the eyes you do. The one you blocked was threatening him directly, this one seems to be reverting Jack's edits. That might just be a fluke, though. HalfShadow (talk) 03:43, 22 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll stick his talk/user pages on my watchlist and see if it recurs. It's possible that it's just some angry random vandal he reverted/reported. I've had that sort of thing a few times myself... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 03:47, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Northwich Victoria F.C.

Hi I see that the above article is protected from editing and that you as an admin are able to edit. Blackpool F.C. goalkeeper, Lewis Edge has signed for Northwich on loan for one month (I have added a source to confirm the loan on the player article), would you please therefore add him to the Northwich Victoria current squad for me? Thank you.♦Tangerines♦·Talk 19:30, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Added him. No worries... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 23:40, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

User:EirWi

You may wish to block User:EirWi as a sock of User:Eir Witt. He has kindly self-identified himself by placing a block notice on his user page. Regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Done. Thanks very much for bringing it to my attention. :) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 19:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Greetings. User:81.158.6.198 appear also to be User:Eir Witt per his contribution today. Regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 18:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
I've tagged the IP as a sock. There's probably not much point in blocking it unless EW makes any more disruptive edits with it, as his ISP uses dynamic IPs. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 20:02, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

List of contemporary and crossover baritones

Good catch on this one, as I thought I'd gotten all of them. Any idea why the link to the AFD is showing up as a redlink on the template? AniMate 00:05, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

No worries. I just noticed it when I was reviewing the contribs of one of the AFD template blankers. I'm not exactly sure why it's showing up a redlink. They do occasionally do that when the AFD has just been created... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 00:14, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Matt Duke

I noticed that you're the admin who deleted the speedied Matt Duke (musician) article, very briefly before it was deleted I noticed that a user had added a hangon tag to it, so I was quite surprised to find it was deleted. In anycase the talk page Talk:Matt Duke (musician) is still alive with the creators hangon message if that needs to be deleted as well. Just thought I'd let you know. --ImmortalGoddezz 04:32, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: AfD nomination of List of contemporary and crossover baritones

Ohhh ok. Its cool I guess. Thanks.

User page

I have been an anonymous editor for some time now, and I recently remembered I had a registered username, so I thought I'd edit under that from now on. I frequent all of the Ref Desks and noticed your kick-butt user page in my search for user page ideas, so I basically copied it but implemented a few changes. I hope you don't mind; if it's too similar to yours I can try to be a little more original and change it. Happy editing! --Emery (talk) 04:46, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Go for it! You're the third person now who's spoken favourably of (and been inspired by) my page. The funny thing is that I didn't even create it myself in the first place... ;) --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 13:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: User talk:Marah09013

Sorry for the reversion. It does indeed appear that the times have changed... the consensus at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Removing warnings and Wikipedia:Removing warnings is now that such activity is permissible. I wasn't concerned with the removal of the image notifications, it was the spam warnings that caused concern, and I'm not entirely convinced that allowing users to remove such notices from their own talk pages is going to help when dealing with abuse — the user was issued with three separate level-2 spam warnings, which have all now gone from the current page edit. However, clearly the reversion was against the current policy, hence this apology, and I'm sure the spam edits have ceased. Hope to see you around. haz (talk) 14:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

No worries. I'm hoping that the user has got the message and read up on external link policy by now. He seems to be fairly knowledgeable about parrot harnesses and has uploaded some useful images. I'd like to give him a break and see if I can help him to become a useful contributor and work with him to improve and expand the (currently much too short) harness article... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 23:24, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

2008 in music

Hey man... what's up?! about the 2008 in music article, there's an album re-issue by Beck... should it be added or what?! i left it but i dont know if it should be in those released albums tables :S anyway, have a nice day :) Maged M. Mahfouz (talk) 05:45, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

That's a very good question. I don't actually know if expanded reissues are supposed to be added to '...in music' articles. I don't personally see why not though, provided it's referenced correctly. Have you tried bringing it up on the talk page? --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 18:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello. On the article Bobby Robson I am seeing a big stationary picture of an ejaculating penis. Do you also see this? I cannot find in the edit history when this was added, nor did I immediately see it within the article itself! Okiefromokla questions? 23:29, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Sorted it. Someone had inserted the penis pic into Template:PSV Eindhoven managers, which then displayed on Bobby Robson. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 23:33, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Porkdukes-popstarsep-cover.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Porkdukes-popstarsep-cover.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:59, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Image:Porkdukes-popstarsep-cover.jpg

I have tagged Image:Porkdukes-popstarsep-cover.jpg as {{orphaned fairuse}}. In order for the image to be kept at Wikipedia, it must be included in at least one article. If this image is being used as a link target instead of displayed inline, please add {{not orphan}} to the image description page to prevent it being accidentally marked as orphaned again.

Speedy deletion of the Clodomiro Picado Twight article

In updating the Spanish version of Dr. Picado's article I noticed you deleted the English version. I have to agree that the English version was in big part a cut and paste from a web article, and it also contained unsuported claims and speculations about the discovery of penicillin. Since the Spanish article is broader and it explains the real role of Dr. Picado in the discovery of Penicillin (he is considered just a precursor), can you tell me the best way to have an English article about him, by creating a new one? or undeleting the one you delete?, but of course with lots of editing, which I am willing to do, beginning with a translation of the Spanish article. I will await your instructions.Mariordo (talk) 15:04, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

I'm so sorry that I didn't reply to your post sooner. I literally only just noticed it on my page when someone else left me a message. In answer to your question, the best way to create an English article would be to write a completely new one from scratch, with appropriate references from reliable sources. Taking copyrighted text from somewhere else and changing a few words here and there (as was the case with the article I deleted, as I recall) is still a copyright violation. If the Spanish article is good, by all means use a translated version as the basis for the English article. There is no reason at all that WP should be prohibited from having an article on Picado - the issue was purely down to copyright. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 22:44, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Nicole Wray discography and template

why do continue to re-add false information. The links have been sourced confirming the new album and the new single "Stand Up". please stop posting false information like the single "I'm Lookin'". The single hit #66 on US R&B not #76. Nicolefan (talk) 01:27, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I had noted the vandalism on the talk page of his most recent album, since attempts to post on the talk page for the artist redirected to the vandal him/herself.

Sockpuppetry

first of all, all these people you claim are sockpuppets you need to stop with this witch hunt crap. second of all, everyone who has added the right information has been from the Nicole Wray Fanatics board. third of all, we trying to help, because people like [Mdsummermsw, Cloudz, KurtBox, and the rest where posting false information just like on the template and the discography page. you can't go around blocking innocent users because they have joined together to stop you from editing the right info and turning it into false and wrong information. so if i were you i would unblock everyone you blocked because to head admin has already block one of you (Cloudz) and he was set straight. 4.154.2.73 (talk) 18:22, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Outofcontrol2.jpg

Thank you for uploading Image:Outofcontrol2.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image under "fair use" may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies for fair use. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a fair use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the fair use policy require both a copyright tag and a fair use rationale.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it might be deleted by adminstrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 16:34, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Username block note

Hi. I came upon a misplace {{hangon}} tag on User talk:Xunantunich and saw that it had been blocked, presumably as promotional. I know that the user seems to be connected to some entity called the Xunantunich Inn, but I did want to point out that Xunantunich is actually the site of some lovely Mayan ruins. I'm not sure that the name is inherently promotional, given that. :) It seems rather a shame to block the name indefinitely from use by legitimate fans of Mayan culture. If it's appropriate to prevent this user from editing under the name because of the similarity to his commercial interest, perhaps it could be set to expire at some point so that the account could be assumed with more innocent purposes? :) Just a thought. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 00:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Moonriddengirl. Unfortunately, now that the name has been used to edit and blocked, no-one else will be able to assume it in the future. Wikipedia:Changing username/Usurpations *usually* only allows users to adopt names that have been registered and never used. The fact that the account has been blocked (even if I were to lift it now) would also likely be another reason for the bureaucrat handling the decision to refuse the usurpation. Sorry about that. Try if you like, though (you never can tell)... --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 16:12, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Thanks. I will bow to your experience. :) I'm much more active in the deletion arena than the blocking arena. I suppose future Wikipedians with a penchant for Mayan ruins will have to find another site. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Pagemove hell

I was looking for the damn thing (heh!) myself - but as far as I can tell, it was merged and redirected to The Best Damn Thing per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Best Damn Tour. The Best Damn Tour is currently a redirect, with all the relevant history - so I don't think that anything of value has been lost in the cleanup.

What was there on those misnamed pages was copy-pasted from here, as far as I could determine. There will probably be enough coverage in reliable, third party sources to recreate the thing once the tour gets underway, btw. --Kurt Shaped Box (talk) 09:33, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Of course, he denies sockpuppetry. Can't find the sockpuppetry case. Says he jsut shares an IP. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 03:40, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

It's a reasonably tricky one to explain as some of the edits in question have been oversighted. Basically, socks and IPs of The Blizzard King have been vandalizing my user pages and those of others (just the typical 'he's gay/he's a rapist/he's a paedo' internet trash talk stuff) ever since I indef blocked him - *and* removing a certain image from the Gull article (possibly because I have it on my userpage and he believes that it will irritate me).
Anyway, diffs:
Also note the similarity of the usernames in question.

I have noticed that user:Betacommand has been adding Defaultsort to a lot of articles, but this does not work for species because it does not work for the genus; see "Category:Pyrrhura".
