It has 4/7 bolded bios which doesn't strike me as too much at all, especially in the circumstances. If I moved one to another queue, someone might move it back again to finish it off. I presume the Bruce Springsteen song and the mosque don't count. Blanco's image wasn't even him so that's why I used it. There must be better images–I see they're even submitting maps now... also it is taking me forever to load a page right now so I hope this saves easily.

hi BorgQueen, I just wanted to let you know that the main NASA article is undergoing a Good Article Review. Most of the gruntwork is done now, and the article could use a fresh set of eyes to copy edit it, add more materiel, and offer suggestions and feedback.

Apologies if you misunderstood my comment at WT:DYK. I was commenting that a lot of people are not happy with the way the system runs, for better or worse, and that blaming Wizardman for saying what other editors may be thinking isn't exactly fair.

Both articles were fairly elaborate.

Hi, I've been directed to you (User_talk:Drilnoth#No_MOVE_option_available) as the person that may have put a move-inhibit on article Joaquín Guzmán. The matter came about as I was trying to standardize the names of Mexican Drug War drug lords who, as virtually all Mexicans do, ordinarilly have 2 last names (see here --> [Category:Mexican Drug War]), and are ordinarilly so tracked by law enforcement agencies (example: http://www.state.gov/p/inl/narc/rewards/c27667.htm ).
Can you help either by unblocking the Move operation for this article (and I will proceed with the move of Joaquín Guzmán TO Joaquín Guzmán Loera myself) or by performing the operation yourself (thanks!)?

A tag has been placed on File:Elvis Presley 1970 cropped.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi,
I saw a problem on a wiki article and thought you could help. I am picking you as a random administrator (Or rather, the only one I have talked to before). There is this wiki article on the famous controversial novel Lajja by Taslima Nasreen. Well, the page was about the novel till Aug 9. Then suddenly an IP replaced its contents with stuff copied from Lajja (film). It stayed like that till today when I noticed. As another page about the film exists, I have reverted to the old form of the page - I hope I did the right thing. I am really sad that such things go unnoticed on wikipedia for so long. I would be happy if you could watch the page, as I am active only on Malayalam Wikipedia

Hi there. Would you please be so kind and look into this bot from this admin? His bot included a BLP article of a nigerian award winning actress into a porn-list-log. As wikipedia is being used nowadays by the media as a source, such an inclusion into a porn-log list not only has the power to potentially damage the reputation of the subject of the BLP, but also violates against existing US and international laws. Lastly, the erroneous bot also included the article in question into other log-lists that have nothing whatsover to do with the subject of the BLP. Anybody, admin or no admin, who is unable to properly use a bot, should not play around with bots. Your admin assistance is needed here please. Thank you. Amsaim (talk) 20:12, 4 October 2009 (UTC)

RE "The peak of the 2009 Orionid meteor shower will occur around October 21, 2009 " ...

Hi, thank you very much for editing the article, posting it to ITN and giving me the credit on my talk page. :) I've just seen the image that was uploaded to the article a little while ago and I believe that it is not the same sculpture that was sold at the auction. The sculpture in the picture doesn't look like it's made of bronze, it looks lighter then the one in this picture, [10]. I have read in the sources that there are a few versions of the sculpture around though, so I think it could be one of those.

Do you have any idea if there are guidelines for whom the Main Page balance should be designed for? At 1280x800, without the last item you removed from ITN, I got a large amount of whitespace at the bottom of OTD. Even with the item, there is still a bit of whitespace. But now as I resize the window to make it smaller, I see that it stays fine for only a little bit. By the time the screen reaches 90% of my width, I start to see a bit of whitespace on the left, and then by 75% there's a gaping hole on the DYK side.

Hello there friendly friend. A while back you nominated the article Tom Krieglstein for DYK due to him being the first in line for the Obama's election nigh rally.
I was wondering if I could bother you to do a small edit that I dare not do myself because I have a conflict of interest with the subject matter. For a few years, my brother had a nice little Wikipedia biography page. After some review, it was decided that his accomplishments did not warrant a full biography, but rather belonged as snippets on pages referring to events he was involved with. You can see the final resolution of these discussions here (now archived). I dare not add these snippets myself, and I don't think the editors involved with the discussions seemed very interested in doing it. So that brings me to kindly asking you.
Specifically, would you mind adding a short snippet about my brother being first in line to the Grant Park Victory Speech, 2008 page, as was suggested by the other editors? I know it's a small little thing, but it meets Wikipedia Notability. I don't want to tell you what to add because of my CoI, but I will give you the references necessary for adding it. Here is a cache of my brother's Wikipedia biography so you can get an idea of what was written about the event before. Here are the key citations MTV, NBC, Ekstra Bladet (Danish News), Público (Portuguese News) and the Chicago Tribune (important because it revisits his experience a year later.
If you're up for it, it would be much appreciated. If not, I completely understand. Would you mind letting me know either way. Thanks for taking the time to read this Dkriegls (talk) 06:53, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. here is written about verifiability, and I was wondering, there are a lot of non-authoritative sources which can be used as sources for given informations. The main point is verifiability, not the source's authority. E.g. if a celebrity has written something on her twitter, it can be pretty much used in wikipedia as source in her article. Why am I addressing with this issue to you? Well, because you're admin and this is not just about my issue here, it will have subsequent effect (for me at least). So to get straight ahead, he had removed my edit saying that this youtube link isn't verifiable, but how can't it be verifiable if the person, about which the article is, herself is saying it? And this is pretty much important information, as they don't live together, if there was a written version available I would add it, but we only have video-version available (youtube link), so I fail to see how it's not verifiable, I'm in advance aware what this user will say to me if I try to reach the consensus with him. That youtube-links shouldn't be used as sources, but given information, it can be used in this case. What will you suggest? It's not a "challenged" source in this case, because the person herself is saying this, not her lookalike, she herself. In the end, I'd like to go ahead and make an assumption what these rules (about source verifiability) where created for? One of the reason is to avoid lies, in some blog someone might publish an information about someone, which is can be purely made up (non-reliable), but in this case, is there a doubt that this information isn't true? If she herself acknowledged it? Userpd (talk) 07:17, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
I have no particular objection to hitting the equals sign a couple of extra times, but is there a reason why new nominations are headed as 4th level? For what purpose are level three headings being held in reserve? An editor seeing the date as a level 2 heading will, in keeping with normal wiki practice, make the heading below that a level 3 one by default. My experience this morning, of noticing the level of the date heading more than I did the little request above the editbox, is probably not unusual. So long as there is consistency, the ToC display is identical: the current practice forces the software to simulate the raising of each level 4 header.
You did no wrong in enforcing the rule that I missed this morning: I'm simply querying the relevance of the convention. I would suggest that as the most active admin on ITN you would be perfectly entitled to be bold in regard to this, but if you think it needs wider discussion, by all means transfer my comments to WT:ITN.
On another issue, would it be possible to make the ITN/C archive searchable, as the WT:ITN archive already is?
Thanks, Kevin McE (talk) 07:20, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
I believe that your statements regarding the DYK mess may have a basis which is not wholly accurate; in particular, there may be a conflation of multiple incidents.
There is the issue of optimal phrasing of hooks based on wholly fictional content, of what counts as 'real-world content'. On this issue, I've already conceded the point that if a hook gets all the way through the approval process, then the question of 'real-world content' is not a sufficient reason to remove it from the queue.
But there is also the issue of factual accuracy, which I hope you will agree is far more serious. I had genuine concerns about that hook, and I had just been verified my understanding about the proper procedure for removing a hook from the prep queue (as opposed to from the actual template) -- and isn't the prep queue a suitable location for raising last-minute concerns? These concerns have been addressed and ruled to not be a serious problem, so I'm not arguing any more regarding that particular hook.
I have also made several edits, during the intervening period, to the prep queues so as to improve punctuation and sentence structure. This does constitute the majority of my editing DYK - plus raising objections on the suggestions page (which is, however, not possible when I'm away for five days).

Hi BorgQueen. I've recently expanded the article about the 39th Chess Olympiad with the informations accessible, which I've found.

Can you please respond to my previous note, which I feel is very important relative to the situation in which both you and I have found ourselves embroiled? Thank you in advance. I very strongly don't want to seem like I'm pressuring you to respond, but if you have the time to make other edits then you clearly have the time to deal with my response to your statements regarding what you have considered to be my failure to discuss my actions.
I look forward to reading your response which will, I am certain, be well-worded and cogently-reasoned. DS (talk) 16:51, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi BorgQueen. I was just wondering... Because of your name-space protection applied here, does it concern you that article Vlad gheorghiu now exists? The new article of course, can't be moved to its proper noun space, but because of its obvious lack of independent notability and weak sourcing, I'm left uncertain whether requesting a page-move is really worth the bother. It occurred to me as well, that redirecting Vlad gheorghiu to its parent band article may also have the potential of being problematic if not protected. Perhaps you could take a look and apply any logical changes if necessary. Thank you. -- WikHead (talk) 01:45, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm guessing the reason you did not use File:Far side of the Sun 3D STEREO crop.jpg is because it was taken before the satellites reached 180 degrees of separation and it is therefore not a complete image of the far side. Frankly, I'm a bit peeved that NASA made this announcement without making such an image available. However, I still think that image is superior to one from 2007, as many people will expect the lead image to have something to do with the announcement. The 3D anaglyph, although from STEREO, is not a product of the situation that has been in the news for the past few days. I'd suggest the recent image and "preliminary view pictured" or something along those lines. What do you think?--Chaser 14:04, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
Thanks for being one of SuggestBot's users! I hope you have found the bot's suggestions useful.
We are in the process of switching from our previous list-based signup process to using templates and userboxes, and I have therefore added the appropriate template to your user talk page. You should receive the first set of suggestions within a day, and since we'll be automating SuggestBot you will from then on continue to receive them regularly at the desired frequency.
We now also have a userbox that you can use to let others know you're using SuggestBot, and if you don't want to clutter your user talk page the bot can post to a sub-page in your userspace. More information about the userbox and usage of the template is available on User:SuggestBot/Getting Recommendations Regularly.
If there are any questions, please don't hesitate to get in touch with me on my user talk page. Thanks again, Nettrom (talk) 23:06, 13 February 2011 (UTC)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Topple the Tyrants is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Topple the Tyrants until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.. MatthewVanitas (talk) 17:58, 11 March 2011 (UTC)

I did just revert you on .xxx for a couple of reasons. 1) The mention of censorship didn't appear to be exactly in the refs. 2) The section in question is just about the ICANN/ICM interaction.
There are plenty of opinions on all sides as noted in the 'Background' section. Rather than just re-revert perhaps you'd like to try and improve that. Or make a more balanced 'Reaction' section? Myself I feel the link to Wikinews is probably sufficient. Wwwhatsup (talk) 11:21, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
I plucked your name from Wikipedia:Admins willing to make difficult blocks. I have a problem with user:Racepacket who is threatened User:LauraHale, a newcomer to Wikipedia. Knowing that she is a PhD student, he first raised unfounded and utterly absurd allegations of plagiarism in a Good Article review. Then he demanded that she email him scans of her sources, which I warned him was not on and would be considered harassment. He attacked on meta in the (mistaken) belief that she was an employee, which I consider meets the definition of harassment. Now he continues to fish for some kind of evidence of misconduct. All the while, he is also defending other allegations over on Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Racepacket 2. I think he losing all perspective and well, just going bonkers. Understandably, User:LauraHale is very upset.
For the first time ever I feel myself reaching for the block button. Your advice on this matter would be much appreciated. My apologies for dragging you into this wikidrama. Hawkeye7 (talk) 21:52, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

Hi borg queen, I wanted to give you a heads up to let you know that I removed the story from ITN about the head of the IMF. I'm sorry I didn't do this with prior discussion or any sort of consensus but I would rather be bold and have my change reverted than to leave something I felt was inapproriate. I know it went through the process, however allegations are simply that. This hasn't even progressed to becoming a court case or anything as such. Such high profile equivalents such as Chirac/Berlusconi have only ever made it to the front page when they have gone to court and I think that we should be careful when publicizing a story such as this. This wasn't a decision based on any policy just what I felt was common sense. If you feel that there are no problems then feel to revert me, i certainly wont force the issue :) Just had alarm bells in my head and wanted you to just have a second think before letting this one go. Apologies for any inconvenience by me doing this. This is has been done entirely in good faith. Seddon talk|WikimediaUK 16:34, 15 May 2011 (UTC)

Hi. I think I did encounter an edit conflict as you suggest, but from what I can tell, according to the diff you provided the difference in text between the two versions was only 151 bytes, which mostly corresponds to the removal of this cruft: The campaign focused on Greig, describing her as an animal lover who frequently goes to beauty salons.[1]. This is not "quite a bit of text", unless you are referring to the following paragraphs:
Neither of these were removed, however. According to the diff in question, the former was condensed into the previous paragraph (by me) and the latter moved (I think by a different editor) further down the article.

Hello! Have you lost anything recently? Is this yours by any chance? Or is it a close relative? I'm not sure if it's supposed to be put down! ;) --candle•wicke 10:21, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
I agree they were spamming, but they were not given any explicit warnings at all before being blocked, and they have indicated they understand the block and will not spam in the future. Was thinking of handing them the rope but checking with you first as blocking admin. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:45, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Hi there, I noticed you swung by Collaborative fiction recently with a quick edit - sorry to bother you, but did you notice anything you think should be worked on while you were there? I've been making some quite big changes to it but found it difficult to get much feedback from other editors, so I though I might ask you on your way past...
