I am disgusted by the fact that the Stardestroyer.net article was deleted, but I will not contest that. However, I have put work into that article and I was not expecting it to get deleted. I want a copy of the article prior to its deletion for my own records. Since you've already deleted it and I can't find any trace of it, I am asking you to provide me that copy.

A member of SD.net who voted in the poll (also vandalized one of the delete voters from a previous VFD) was blocked from Wikipedia. The stated time has expired, but he is still blocked. From what I can determine, he was blocked as being a sockpuppet. I can tell you this is not the case. He might be a meatpuppet, but he certainly isn't a sockpuppet. He is interested in trying to become a Wikipedia member and that is difficult when he is blocked from Wikipedia. I am sending you this message on his behalf. His name is Chardok.

Thank you for reverting the vandalism to my user page.--Isotope23 13:04, 6 September 2005 (UTC)
Please undelete this article so that the deletion discussion can continue. The article clearly didn't meet any WP:CSD, and the criteria you stated are not valid CSD. Furthermore, the article had already received a keep vote before you summarily deleted it, which should have suggested that there could be a difference of opinions regarding this article.
In my opinion, it is inappropriate for an admin to simultaneously nominate an article for speedy deletion and to delete the article. This eliminates an important safeguard. Admins should nominate articles for speedy deletion just like any other editor and allow another admin to pull the trigger. Pburka 17:13, September 11, 2005 (UTC)

I noticed on the DTW Airport page, you moved America West flights to "US Airways dba America West Airlines". That's incorrect, and I've reverted it. Right now, they are two separate airlines.

Greetings,
Since you voted to keep the article List of Guantanamo Bay detainees I thought I would give you a "heads-up". A copyright violation was filed against the article, on October 11th. It was filed by someone who had voted to delete the article on October 5th.
I believe that the copyright violation is entirely bogus. I believe it is bogus because, as explained in Feist Publications v. Rural Telephone Service, lists of facts, like lists of names, cannot be copyright. This Feist v. Rural case went all the way to the US Supreme Court, which made the possibly counter-intuitive ruling that the amount of effort someone put in to compiling a list plays no role in determining whether that list is eligible for copyright protection.
Even if alphabetic lists of names could be copyright, I believe the wikipedia list would not be violating copyright since the list was compiled from various sources.
Yes, I have considered that this user invoked a bogus copyright violation to achieve a result that failed in the {AfD}. Yes, I asked them to terminate the copyright violation process, in light of Feist v Rural. They declined. The backlog in the administrators dealing with copyright violations seems to be on the order of a month long.
Anyhow, I wanted the people who had shown interest in the article to not freak out, or feel betrayed, by seeing the copyright violation tag. -- Geo Swan 11:18, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. I've blocked you for 24 hours for violating the 3RR on Nick Adams. This is not a comment on whether I think you're "right" or "wrong" (and in fact, I probably slot firmly into "don't care") but you should know better than to get into this sort of revert war. Next time, just find some other editors to join in and review the article, and then there won't even be the slightest danger of coming near a 3RR violation. Nandesuka 23:31, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I have now added to the Talk:Elvis Presley page references to some further sources concerning Elvis's sexuality. See Talk:Elvis_Presley#Elvis_Presley_bad_in_bed.3F. Perhaps you may have a look at it. This material may also be used for the Nick Adams article. I have not yet included new passages in the articles, as we should first discuss its relevance.

The above page has been nominated for deletion at MfD by someone.

Thanks again for your cooperation on the Nick Adams article. I didn't link Bill Kelly because I still don't think his writing on Adams is encyclopedic because it is unreferenced just as I don't agree on Hadleigh or other gossip writing as being a proper source.

FCYTravis,
Hi! I was recently trying to create a wiki resource about freeconservatives, a forum which has recieved much attention all over the internet since it's inception in 2001. I started it, but not 10 minutes later it was deleted. So, I searched around to try and find out the reason. The only logical conclusion I could come to is this- you deemed it an advertisement. However, I am not trying to advertise, as we don't need it nor want it.
I thought that it was merely time to have it posted on Wiki, as the size and attention it has received has merited a spot on Wiki.
Thanks for considering my time, -Teenager

Hello mate! I'm not sure if you know at least where Kosova is located. However, it seems like you heard that there are some Muslims and you want to confuse the struggle for freedom of a European people with the Islamic wars in the Middle East. Just to let you know that Kosova always belonged to the Albanians, and therefore they shall be free there. If you are curious to know what religion means to the Albanians just go my talk page User_talk:Getoar and read my answers to HolyRomanEmperor. I agree that the article on Hamëz Jashari is not of a high quality, but I will be working on it and improve it. But, no need to mark the information disputed.--Albanian since Stone Age 06:51, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
You don't have to worry about that. This article needs improvements, but the information is true. Hamëz's brother Adem Jashari was honored by the president of Kosova as "Hero of Kosova". And, his family was massacred. Check these links:

The frustrating thing about email or comments typed on a page is that you can't hear the tone of voice with which they are delivered, but your edit comments about the Sturmgrenadier page come off as extremely condescending. Several editors agreed with the text in question going in over a month or two and only two (Eskog and you) feel they don't belong. I know Wikipedia is not a democracy, but shouldn't it tell you something the majority feels one way? --Habap 13:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for your help with the article! I don't want to get in to an "edit war" over something that is just a little understanding so I thought that I would explain this to you. The words "on line casino" (mash on and line together) are prohibited by Wikipedia's anti-spam filter. This is the correct link for 3 of the links in the article, however Wikipedia won't allow them to be displayed. As such, I separated on and line and then put in a nowiki tag to fix the problem. If you know of some way that they can be displayed better, then it would be appreciated. However, your "fix" is if anything worse than mine, since it gives an incomplete web address and then links to http://www.on which of course goes nowhere. The ideal solution is for those 3 web links to be taken out of the Wikipedia spam filter, although I don't know how to do this. Alternatively, we could perhaps find a mirror of the 3 pages, one which isn't filtered by Wikipedia. As I said in the talk pages, if we get rid of the links, it is an incomplete article. Anyway, thanks for your help. Do you think that the article is okay? Took me quite a few hours to write that one. I admit I got tired of wading through google spam to get the good bits. Finding the spam controversy was a godsend I think. I just stumbled upon it. It was the first bit of "real" journalism about them that I found, and led me to finding lots of other stuff about them. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 09:30, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
When Zordrac created this new article, some of his links were incorrect and that has led us to believe that his keywords research for our site came up with a www.fortuneloungegroup.com web address that does not in fact exist.
www.online-casinos.com is under the maintenance of Jan Balslev, and the site is part of the InterCasino/Casino Tropaz online operators. I do not know where they got their information from or what game they're trying to play at, but their article is unsubstantiated and alleged rumor by the look of things. This in reference to the fact that we were shut down yesterday, which is untrue and false.
We're not looking to cause a stir, but do not want this wiki page to be the start of a smear campaign either as it does add significant encyclopedic and research value to this entry.

With all due respect, the Mona Simpson article read better before the edit. And there was no insult there. She does indeed use people she knows "as grist for her creative endeavors" as she says in her talks and many interviews. And yes, it is often to an uncomfortable degree - as she has also addressed. See also article written by Lisa Brennan-Jobs (http://www.theharvardadvocate.com/archives/driving.html). Ditto for "unusually revealing warts & all" portrait. She is a very intelligent writer and she believes very much in "warts & all" - and has the literary kudos to prove it. So it seems a shame to emasculate a very good summing up. ChumleyK
Thank you for your courtesy. As a newspaper reporter and editor for the past 30 years, my automatic response to a story tends to be based on its accuracy and readability. And of course your point is well taken and I bow to your superior knowledge of Wikipedia convention. (Even if it does hurt to know that readability doesn't count)
Unfortunately, to give full quotes and background in each of these cases would be unwieldy and ruin the article as it stands. (“As the author said at the xx coffee shop in Palo Alto during the reception for the publication of her latest book in March 1997..” “ In her talk after accepting the Evil Companions literary award at Colorado State University on April 10, 1997, the writer said …” etc. etc) And the story by Lisa Brennan-Jobs is so well written that it deserves to be read in its entirety - not requoted in one or two sentences.
But the writer of the piece itself, if still around, might take up the challenge. Many of the points were made by several reviewers each time one of her books was published - so it should be possible. As for me, I stand corrected and thank you again. ChumleyK
ps Could you do something about her discussion page? It seems to be in a state of permanent stasis.
Thanks for seeing to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/RebelForums.org. I am usually weary of discounting probable meatpuppet votes and the guidelines say when in doubt, don't delete. However, I must say that it is pretty likely that those were meatpuppet votes, as it was an article on a web forum. Anyway, thanks again for the pointer - I'll know what to do next time.

I noticed you did an unexplained revert. My edit was valid. The book made no distinction between ape and monkey. The movies did. DyslexicEditor 09:29, 1 January 2006 (UTC)
Is there a template that says partial protected because of edit wars? Or does that have to be done manually? --Eliezer | £€åV€ m€ å m€§§åg€ 01:03, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
I'm working on it. I realise the picture doesn't work well, and am going to remedy that. Thanks for the concern about my template though. You gay template is a bit off (I feel) for I saw that pink triang on the "Straight but not Narrow" bit. Might wanna change that. Chooserr 06:16, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
Maybe I would, but maybe I wouldn't. You're free to give it ago. If you feel so strongly though you can argue to the users who have a picture of president bush along with "this user hates president bush and wishes they didn't have to revert vandalism there" or something about being ignorant and white depending on the version. As I said the triangle in your box is misplaced for the template because that pink triagle stands for "straight but not narrow" or "I'm straight but being gay is fine" not for actual gays. Chooserr 06:33, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
I see at [17] you had an agreement with Chooserr that he would not change any more articals with AD or A.D. or the like... Well he has been at it again. [[18]] [[19]] [[20]] [[21]]
Not sure if you want to act on this or not, but he has been a pain lately. Jwissick(t)(c) 06:53, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
...about List of Netflix distribution centers. Thank you for criticising me when I made a mistake, and encouraging me to fix it. I'm glad we have people like you around to make sure people like me don't screw things up. Thank you again.--Sean|Black 02:19, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
User Lochdale is now taking over the role of Ted Wilkes in deleting my contributions to the Elvis Presley article. See, for instance, [22], [23], [24] and [25]. Lochdale also uses different IPs for his contributions, for instance, 24.148.51.62 and 83.71.77.27. Could it be that this user is somehow related to Wilkes and Wyss? You may have a look at the Elvis page. See also Talk:Elvis Presley. Thank you. Onefortyone 16:12, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Tell me this...
I hope you're not offended, but I have undeleted Pussy City Pimps. See explanation on WP:DRV and I'm going to explain on the Afd page also. Friday (talk) 01:23, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello, please check your email. Sent information re: WebEX and Min Zhu case. --FloNight 04:04, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
FCYTravis- Regarding your claim that that I don't understand Wikipedia terminology and that you feel that that shows bad faith on my part, I have clarified my statement to highlight why I feel that the usuage of that term (with Veganism topically involved, et. al.) in that RfC is inflamitory. I try not to jump to conlcusions, I mearly express my opinions. OnceBitten 22:01, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
