Revision as of 22:13, 6 August 2007
| WELCOME! |
| Hello, and welcome to my talk page. I will be glad to discuss anything with you. Click here to start a new discussion. All threads older than 3 days will be archived. Have a great day. |
| YAY! |
| I would like to personally thank Matt/TheFearow for offering to help me on my talkpage by replying to many common questions I get, especially about my image deletions. Thanks again. |
| NOTE |
| I have been deleting many images tagged for deletion. If it was a fair use image, before requesting that I restore it, please make sure that you had an extensive fair use description of why it should be allowed, or be prepared to give one, as fair use images cannot be used under blanket reasons such as "it's from a movie" or "it's the cover of a CD." This being said, I won't restore 90% of the images I deleted. Thanks.
Also, and I cannot stress this enough, if you do ask me to look at an image I deleted, please provide me with the image name. A quick look at my logs will show you that I cannot possibly remember all the images I deleted. If you can't provide me with that, then there's not much I can do for you, as I don't have the time to dig through my logs or the page histories to find it. Thanks again. |

Patrick Hillery
Hi, Patrick Hillery is still alive, so the image is not legitimate fair use. —Angr 10:02, 4 August 2007 (UTC)õ
- My mistake. ^demon 15:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Deleted images
Hi there, it appears you deleted Image:Nightshade 3.gif and Image:Jetpac.gif as being unused, when they were in fact used in Nightshade (video game) and Jetpac respectively. Could you please undelete these? Cheers, Miremare 16:08, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Userpage deletion
I noticed that Adrak, who had vandalised me quite some time ago, had his userpage deleted by you beacuse of WP:NOT but I now see it is agian being used for this purpose. Maybe you would have a look to see if you agree and take any necessary action as appropriate. Cheers. ww2censor 16:09, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
How do you remove images so quickly?
Hi, I was deleting images from the same category at the same time as you, and found that you had just beaten me to it when I was about to remove an image from a page before deleting it. I then looked at your contributions, and found that you manage to remove several images from articles every minute. Are you using some special tool? If so, can I use it too? I find that removing images from articles really slows me down when I'm working my way through a category of images ready for deletion. By the way, I use User:Howcheng/quickimgdelete.js for tagging images, but although I'm not fully familiar with it yet, I don't think there's anything in it that helps to orphan an image that you're about to delete. Thanks. ElinorD (talk) 13:29, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Take a look at WP:TWINKLE, it deletes and orphans an image with one click. All the best, ^demon 13:30, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'll take a look. ElinorD (talk) 13:31, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Really just a token, considering the sheer amount of work you've done, but...

| To ^demon for all his phenomenal hard work deleting crappy images, despite the backlash he suffers for it everyday. Keep doing what you do, it makes life a lot easier for the rest of us ;) ~ Riana ⁂ 14:36, 6 August 2007 (UTC) |
Restoring unanswered archived post
Image:Deewar - A Wall.jpg
Why did you delete Image:Deewar - A Wall.jpg at this time. You stated that the image was deleted because it was not used. But it was being used in two separate talk pages to try to address the reason it was replaced. There were notes in the file that the image had been replaced with one of poorer qualitity and the reason for replacing the image had been requested. So far there has been no response to my request. I would like to replace the poor quality image with the image you deleted. The deleted image has a complete fair use statement where as the replacement image does not. Would you consider undeleteding the image so that it can be used. Dbiel 02:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
The preceeding post was archived without a reply. It is being reposted prior to filing a formal complaint about a Rogue Admin abusing his power. Dbiel 15:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- If it's not in use in mainspace, it's considered orphaned and can be deleted. Please read WP:CSD#I5. ^demon 15:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- But does that rule apply when there is a current discussion in place regarding an image that had been replaced with another image?
- My intent is to replace the poor quality image with the image you deleted. Your deletion makes that impossible. The point remains that the image file was referenced as to the deletion of its usage and the intent to reuse it. Your action is no different than the specificly prohibited action of deleting an image listed on Misplaced Pages:Images and media for deletion prior to reaching a final decision. Additionally you have continued to ignore the request to undelete the image. Why? Dbiel 20:22, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Also quoting from the article you referenced: "Reasonable exceptions may be made for images uploaded for an upcoming article" This exception would likewise apply when there is a discussion in place regarding the usage of an image. Dbiel 20:27, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Committee chair
Hello, I found your page while viewing the Mediation page. I had a few questions before putting in a request for mediation. I wanted to make sure I would be able to, as I am not either party of the dispute. Also, the dispute has run on not only 1 article's talk page, but 2- as well as spilling over onto several members' talk pages. I know I am only giving you general information, but does this seem to be grounds for a mediation? -Fall Of Darkness 18:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
AFD Close
Thanks for closing this AFD. I was planning on grasping the third rail tonight and closing it in the same direction. Your close summary was less incendiary than mine would have been. GRBerry 19:07, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, for the support, although I fear a very very very messy DRV. ^demon 19:11, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Allegations of Chinese apartheid
I can see no basis for a consensus on this issue. I count 59 who wanted it deleted, and 45 who wanted it kept. Please elaborate how you arrived at the conclusion that a deletion was determined, aside from your own judgment on the issue. --Leifern 19:32, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
- Random comment - and that's including Merge votes and similar ones as Delete votes. Without merge votes included, I counted 46 keeps and 52 deletes. I realize that numbers don't dictate the AfD process, but while your decision was loosely policy-based, so were the majority of the Deep votes (as well as most of the Delete votes).
- In any case, though I disagree with your decision, I appreciate that you took the initiative to close a messy AfD.

Please see the AfD, my comments are there, and the follow-up by User:Hemlock Martinis better explains exactly what I was thinking. As far as "own judgment" on the issue, I honestly couldn't give a flying fuck one way or the other about the article, which is why I closed the debate. I'm well aware that both sides of the debate were probably trying to get an "impartial" admin (ie: one who has an opinion but hasn't stated it) to close the debate and swing it their way. It happens with every controversial AfD such as this, and nobody can deny it. I decided to read the debate, and close it, before any "impartial" admin could come in and pass judgment. ^demon 22:13, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
Restore Image:Middlesbrough_crest.png
You stated when deleting the image that it was an unused non-free image, when it was in fact being used, on the Middlesbrough F.C. article and that of the Middlesbrough F.C. Reserves and Academy. For fair use it represents the logo of a company (Middlesbrough Football Club), obtained from club website, at low resolution, no non-copyright version available, used for informational purposes, and its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it is the primary means of identifying the subject of this article. I would request that you please restore the image. Thanks. --Simmo676 20:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
