I've got a hater on my back, already reported to vandalism. He's decided I'm a "commie" because I'm an old friend of democratic Socialist mayor Frank P. Zeidler, and is reverting my edits "on principle" because I ("commiemike" according to his edits) am a "moron" and a commie. This is a very personalized form of edit war, and you just reverted one of his POV-pushing edits yourself. Is there anything you can do here? --Orange Mike 15:49, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Well, he just noticed I've been nominated for adminship, and is chipping in as an IP! --Orange Mike 00:50, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Checkusers vs WP:AIV

Thank you kindly for the info on Checkusers vs WP:AIV. And, yes, not nearly a bad enough case to do anything yet. Cheers. —Noah 08:21, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

National Grid Service

Before you deleted National Grid Service, I had removed a G11 tag and cleaned it up a little. Maybe it wasn't prefect yet, but I think the copyrighted version had already been deleted before. Would you mind reviewing the article, its history and also its talk page. Thanks. --Tikiwont 16:07, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

HTML in your signature

The talk link in your signature has HTML in it that looks like it's messing up page formatting. Any idea what causes that? See to see what I mean. Strange, huh? Ioeth _{(talk contribs friendly)} 17:10, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Nice one. Thanks Hammer1980· 17:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Barn Owl Restaurant Oldham

I believe the page should remain a sit may end up being the only reference to the Barn Owl Restaurant should the LSC decide it should be shut down. It is included in Misplaced Pages as I believe that the students need easy access to information regarding the proposed shutdown, and whatr better placew to achieve this than in Misplaced Pages. Also the restaurant remains in the news as a topic close to the hearts of many Oldhamers including ex-pats.

I intend to create links to relevant news items if the item remains.

Please re-consider deletion.

Thank you

Unfortunately, Misplaced Pages is not a soapbox and the subject being a one shot in the news, it is simply not notable for the encyclopedia. -- lucasbfr 00:49, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Image:United Airlines Flight 175.jpg

It's not the rationale of Image:United Airlines Flight 175.jpg that I'm contesting. It's the invalid license tag: that does not look like a web screenshot; that looks like a photograph. It's also unsourced. —C.Fred (talk) 15:45, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

deleting pictures

hi

i would like to know what the reason is for your deletion of 2 pictures i uploaded last night?

first of all, the supersweet screen grab. a friend of mine works for supersweet magazine and i was trying to contribute to the explanation of their new site by having a picture to accompany it. what is wrong with that? i have their permission to do it.

and the second picture is the picture of nick jago. who's a friend of mine too and i have stumbled upon his page and was just trying to help by having a photograph to go with his page. choltida is a friend of mine and she took this photograph and has given me permission to use it too.

if there's good reasons for this, i wouldn't mind at all. it's not helping to promote friends' work. it's just that i thought seeing their stuff that's already on there and i'd just like to help and contribute and make things look a little better so other people can know what they are better visually.

thank you, mf — Preceding unsigned comment added by Matthewflag (talk • contribs)

Bah. Deleting the main page is for newbies. If you really want attention, rename it "Main Page ON WHEELS!!!".  :-) — Coren  13:25, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

that's an idea... That surely WOULD be fun :D -- lucasbfr 13:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

unblock decline

Hi... regarding this (I agree with the block, aside from the CU considerations, the userid is a vandal) and the unblock decline), in future it may be better to just point to WP:RFCU or m:checkuser because technically, it's not a way to prove anything, only to increase our confidence that there is or isn't a relationship. It's not a perfect tool and we should be careful not to position it as such... ++Lar: t/c 16:45, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

(Refactored from User_talk:Lar per my policy) - noted :) On the other hand I was only replying to his question ("What on Earth is checkuser, seriously."). He was quacking so loud that I didn't want to waste any more seconds on this decline since jpgordon obviously ran a test on him. But I'll be more careful on my wordings next time. -- lucasbfr 18:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Cool beans. Most definitely agree about not wasting much time. I should put up some .js for a standard message... :) ++Lar: t/c 19:46, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Mmm that's an idea. I got a page with boilerplate messages, but none on checkusers unfortunately :) -- lucasbfr 20:39, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

See that refactor notice up there in front of "noted"? That's a product my latest .js, (not fully debugged yet). I waste time on all sorts of .js stuff :). So ya. ++Lar: t/c 12:19, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Chip N Dale Rescue Rangers

Do you think it would be right to put my photos on that site or should I put them on new articles which I am doing.--Stco23 (talk) 23:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

That DVD releases link you gave me is no longer a link, one person got rid of it and it took off my DVD images as well. That is the reason why when you put a comment on my talk page I answered.--Stco23 (talk) 23:31, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Lasileuka

Hello! You speedily deleted the article Lasileuka that I was working on. I realize some articles without substance need be deleted, but may I ask that you please at least search for a movie on IMDb before you speedily delete an article about it. If you still see the need for deletion of a IMDb listed (and award winning) movie please take it to WP:AfD. Another way might be using the Template:Prod and giving the main contributor a heads up. As a courtesy. Some people put a great amout of time into editing and don't appreciate seeing the work deleted without the least concern. --Bensin (talk) 23:29, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

OK. I think the award alone make it a notable enough film from Finland. I am aware that admins mean well when they delete articles, but personally I believe that speedily deletion can be reserved for harmful information and outright spam. I think many editors appreciate the use of the template I mentioned above. That gives them a fair chance to improve the article enough before a final decision is made. Please have a look at the article and make any improvements you see fit :-) --Bensin (talk) 23:51, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Replied on this user's talk page - 00:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

I think I'll leave it as it is now. The award is listed on the films entry on IMDb and that should be enough. Thank for the tip though. I, in turn, thank you for your help editing the encyclopedia :-) --Bensin (talk) 00:16, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar'd!

		The Original Barnstar
		I was just checking out unblock-en-l, after my too-long absence, and I saw that things look to have been a bit of a ghost-town, over there, recently. I've seen you several times, over the past few days, always bringing a positive and productive presence, at AN/I, on IRC, vandalism patrolling, and you're even doing a bangup job holding together unblock-en-l all by your lonesome self, for a while. You've contributed a lot to the community, in the many months I've been happy to see you around, and I hope you continue this tradition of excellence in the future. This classic barnstar is the least I can offer. Thank you. – Luna Santin (talk) 12:03, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup thanks, delete wars on William Herbert Wallace?

Thanks for cleaning up the blanking of my userpage. There seems to be a low-intensity deletion war happening on William Herbert Wallace, originating with what is probably one user on BT Internet (netname=BT-CENTRAL-PLUS, descr="IP pools"). It's been happening for the past few months, and beyond some userpage deletions and personal attacks, there's been no real feedback from the person or persons involved. Is there anything that can be done about this other than a) laughing and ignoring it, b) moaning about it on the dynamic IP's talk page, to no effect?

Thanks

Thanks for this. That's the first time I've been attacked for reverting vandalism, although I'm sure it won't be the last. Thanks, though. --SGT Tex 19:06, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Stco23

The other day that you talked to me I ment the DVD page, not the episodes page. Collectonian was very rude to me other day and I was trying to be nice, She would not let me put my uploaded photos on the main page ether. Sorry about the confusion the other day. Thank You.
