Hi! Just a small housekeeping detail...be sure to add new warnings to the end to keep them in chronological order. Inserting them into the middle makes it very hard for later editors (or bots) to follow the sequence. I went ahead and put it back in order. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 19:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
how is my change to the New JErsey devils page bad —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.65.181.179 (talk • contribs)
After seeing Werdbabot set up to archive your user page, I copied it to follow as a guide to set up a archive for my page as it was getting long. In the process I did not change all of the links I should have and the one for the section index was missed. The result was on its first run it index my page to your index. The problem is I have no idea how to fix it correctly. I have posted the a message to User talk:Werdna asking how to fix the problem completly reverting the posting already done. I am sorry for the mess that this has caused and will follow through to correct the issue. Thank you for your understanding. TheRanger 16:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

I recently made a change to the KISS Killers album art shown on Kiss Discography that i thought made more sense. Rather than the German Version, I think it should be revised so that the Original Logo album cover is on the KISS Discography page. You changed it back, but i think that sense on KISSonline.com the main one is the original logo album cover. So i suggest, respectfully, that we have the original logo album art listed. i really like the info you post on KISS!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Austinallison (talk • contribs)

Hello cholmes75. I wanted to thank you with flowers (well, flower) for taking the time to participate in my RfA, which was successful. I'm very grateful for your support and kind words. I assure you I'll continue to serve the project to the very best of my ability and strive to use the admin tools in a wise and fair manner. Please do let me know if I can be of assistance and especially if you spot me making an error in future. Many thanks once again. Yours, Rockpocket 08:15, 11 November 2006 (UTC) |

Hope I didn't cause any confusion by retagging it. I just checked the history and found that the original user had removed the tag, and I figured it was best to err on the side of caution and let an admin deal with the tagged article. --User:AlbertHerring Io son l'orecchio e tu la bocca: parla! 07:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
You're now an admin, so have fun using the the new tools to help improve the project and keep it runningly smoothly. Re-read the policies before acting and don't hesitate to ask for advice. Again, congrats - Taxman Talk 20:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi Cholmes75,
Not sure if this is the first place to start, so point me in the right direction if I am wrong. Ok, can you please give me a reason for deletion of the article (Cool) Shite on the Tube podcast. If it is due to the content not having enough in it, that is because I only just started it. Any feedback would be great so I can help add more to podcast articles and create some for my faviourte shows. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Razorbolt (talk • contribs)
Regarding Johnny Contardo, I believe it is custom to send the article to Wikipedia:Copyright problems when the author authorizes the reproduction, yet the original source does not state the text is being released under a free license. Would you object this? -- ReyBrujo 04:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Mike's RfA Thanks | |
Cholmes75: Thanks very much for your support at my RfA. Unfortunately, it was clear that no consensus was going to be reached, and I have withdrawn the request at a final tally of 31/17/4. Regardless, I really appreciate your confidence in me. Despite the failure, rest assured that I will continue to edit Wikipedia as before. If all goes well, I think that I will re-apply in January or February. - Mike | Talk 04:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC) |
Dear Cholmes75,
You deleted my article on Wikipedism - Religion based upon text constantly being edited by multiple authors. I was asked to defend its merits first, and did so, but was then deleted anyway. I never did see any rebuttle of my quite logical and eloquent defense of the topic. Care to make any comment, other than calling the religious beliefs of myself and fellow Wikipedists utter nonsense? Also, is the text that I entered still available anywhere?
--whysean
That was my general impression. My main goal was to get a newer user expereinced with process. Thanks for your help. Hopefully, they will stick around and become valued Wikipedians. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 13:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
Cholmes75,
Can you please explain to me why you deleted the article for Sportsvite. There are listing for many social networking website and and Sportsvite should fall into this catagory. Do more references need to be provided or more proof of traffic and relevence? Would like to hear how we can build a better entry. thanks. --Sportslit 20:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Rising Sun Performance Company is a major off-off-Broadway company and should not have been deleted. --Scottandrewhutchins 06:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I represent the Swedish company Relakks. I recently visited both the English and the Swedish Wikipedia sites to find out what information that was posted about our Relakks Safe Surf service. I found that there was a little information posted since before but the majority of the facts about the service was wrong. I therefore edited the two pages and corrected the facts. At first I also wrote positive about the service. When I revisited the site the next day someone had added a negative comment about the service. I sat down and thought about what to do for a minute or so. My conclusion was that the right thing to do was to delete both the positive and the negative comments in order to make Wikipedia the neutral and informative service I think it should be to its users. After that last edit there was only neutral and correct information about the service and as mentioned above I think that's what Wikipedia is all about.
So today I payed the site another visit only to realize that you had deleted the entire page. Now I wouldn't have complained if there would've been lots of incorrect and/or misleading information. But there wasn't. Neither do I think that the article matched criteria CSD G11. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Criteria) I would like an explanation and a proper motivation to why the article was removed. The Swedish article is still active which is also remarkable I must say since the English and the Swedish texts are as identical as can be.
Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relakks Official website: http://www.relakks.com
I'm looking forward to your response.
Best regards. Martin Olsson Relakks Crew

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on my userpage. Ironically, I do actually like pickles. Veinor (ヴエノル(talk)) 01:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Not exactly sure if I should report this or not. User:Thekid2323 has slightly vandalized one page and is arguing about it over an apparently unrelated user User:Curtis Clark on Curtis's userpage. After I reverted and left a note on Thekid's talk page, he made User:User:Curtis Clark with the same message. Not sure what it's all about but someone probably should check it out? Hopefully this isn't just a misunderstanding on my part. ^_^; -WarthogDemon 03:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi, thanks a lot. I presume there is a bigger problem, the user is using multiple open proxies to login and vandalize my page and also issue death threats. I see two IPs rightaway: 208.101.4.34 and also 203.171.70.136. I would like to know about the user who has left a msg in my page and his relationship with the user profile: Snowolfd4. Kindly help and prevent such profiles from issuing such warnings in Wikipedia. Thanks for your help. Sudharsansn (talk • contribs) 17:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
It is not clear whether Lahiru_k is innocent in all of this. These series of vandalisms and threats occurred, after I had given a civility warning to Lahiru for having offensive user boxes [4]. In particular he had a userbox that said "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Wikipedia" Once I raised this offensive userbox, Lahiru's response was the following [5]. He had claimed to be busy after this point and refused to do anything about the complaint till "December 4th". Elalan 22:15, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
1] Yes, I made a user box called "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Wikipedia". LTTE none other than one of the most barbaric terrorist group that exist in the world and banned by many governments of the countries in the world (E.g. USA, Canada, Britain etc.). So LTTE is certainly not another RACE in Sri Lanka. Therefore, very clearly, I do not become a racist by standing against a Terrorist Group. May be due to the lack of knowledge about LTTE, one of the fellow wikipedians of Elalan had addressed me a racist [10]. In the civilised world, supporting for murderous activities is just the same as committing murders. It simply apllies for terrorism as well. Those whom the Hat fits to, can always wear it. Therefore, I do not see the userbox "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Wikipedia" as a personal attack on anyone.
2] Yes, I also said that the common sense is uncommon to Elalan and I here by accept I did so and apologize from him. I here by also say, nothing of the sort would not happen again from me.
3] Yes, I am extremely busy until the 4th of December, and this is NOT a cowardly act as it has been appeared to some users. I have already informed this user that I will continually check my watchlist[11], and this is where I noticed this discussion going on and returned here.
4] I am not involved in the copyright violation of the image used in the userbox. I found it from the history page of the LTTE article. I am also prepared to provide evidence on this on request by anyone.
5] There is also no need of asking for permission from anyone in order to delete anything from my own user page and this includes changing my userboxes too.
6] I oppose any kind of terrorism in the world including LTTE and therefore I am not a racist. You can furthur confirm this fact by simply going through my contributions list[12]. But I doubt if there is any neutrality in the wikiproject Neutral Coverage of the Sri Lankan Crisis due to the comment made by the founder of the project Sudharsansn as he has commented badly regarding ethnic group sinhala[13]. Please do a checkuser on me if you feel still suspect me on that threatening userbox template incident that appeared on my userpage created by some IP user. I don't mind at all. If there is anything you want to ask regarding this mattter, do feel free to ask me anytime. Happy Editing!!! ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪ (Ŧ) 13:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your comments. This was our first go at a Wikipedia page and I've enjoyed learnig a tremendous amount in the last few weeks. I'm going to improve the Sportsvite page by verifying and referencing all information, having multiple authors, using outside sources (Sportsvite has recently been reviewed in many major publications) and following standards for wikipedia entries.
--Sportslit 17:57, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Cholmes,
I will re-create the TZO node. There is no undelete or archive, is there?
FYI - I read the 'notable' page, particularly WP:PROD and WP:CORP. I believe the "subject of multiple non-trivial published works " is satisfied by many reviews of the software and service by industry-standard outlets such as PC Magazine, Tucows, etc. TZO was also the first dynamic DNS provider to have services embedded in hardware routers (see dynamic DNS entry, UMAX citation).
Should this actually be noted IN the TZO node, or just in the discussion is OK? I avoided that in-node blurb part to comply with my understanding of the Wiki guidelines.
I missed the delete warning on TZO. I have a 'watchlist'... is there no way to receive email notification when a major change is posted? (I can certainly monitor the page in an automated fashion, but I am assuming there's some hidden feature for it here).
Thanks for your help! Scottprive 18:25, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
Hi! I've just noticed you deleted the article I had begun about the band Cirkus. I must say I'm surprised and confused, because I don't understand the reason. Could you please explain it to me? I had sent the link to the article to one member of the band, he took a look at it, and he told me he was OK with what I had written... Many thanks for your explanations! Godescalcus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.194.132.44 (talk • contribs)
Of course I can admit not everyone knows them, but if we write articles only on topics everyone know about, what's the interest? Cheers, Godescalcus.
So, how can we process? Could you restore the article, so that I will modify the unclear sentence, and add some links to proven facts, or do I have to start it from scratch? Cheers, Godescalcus
Cheers!

Thank you for your note regarding my problems with deleted images. You write,
Dear uploader: The media file you uploaded as Image:IStock_000001735714Smallb.jpg has been listed for speedy deletion because you selected a copyright license type implying some type of restricted use, such as for non-commercial use only, or for educational use only or for use on Wikipedia by permission. While it might seem reasonable to assume that such files can be freely used on Wikipedia, a non-profit website, this is in fact not the case. Please do not upload any more files with these restrictions on them, because content on Wikipedia needs to be compatible with the GNU Free Documentation License, which allows anyone to use it for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial.
I thought that I would ask the editors at IStockphoto regarding their copyright, as I was frustrated with paying for pictures that I couldn't use, and I wanted their answer to this. I received a message today from the following:
Hello Deborah, Thank you for contacting us. Our license does allow you to use the image for editorial purposes, which appears to be the usage you intend. The only restriction is that the image cannot be any larger than 800x600 in size.
If you have any further questions, please let us know.
Regards,
Joy Griffith Client Relations service@istockphoto.com 866-478-6251 ext 223
Judging from Joy Griffith's letter to me, I do have permission to upload the images I purchased from IStockphoto for my lit circles article. Can I therefore do this without getting them deleted???? Please advise. deborah cox 01:33, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
The nominations are already archived, once the images have all been dealt with, the entry under the "old discussions" can be removed. I will do that now. Thanks--Gay Cdn (talk) (Contr.) 20:50, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
You said: "Take a look at the photo gallery on the M. G. Ramachandran article. The editor who uploaded all those images was born in 1978, which means that he was only nine years old when the subject died. Yet all the photos are tagged as being his creations. I'm not saying it's not possible, but it seems rather curious. I left a note for the user so I will see what he says, but I wanted to get your thoughts on the matter."
In regards to the article Autism, Signs, Help and Hope, which you proposed for deletion, I have marked the article for speedy deletion, as I feel that the article meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion. In cases where it applies, speedy deletion is preferable to proposed deletion. I have left the ((prod)) tag in place, so that if speedy deletion is rejected, your proposed deletion will remain in place. Thanks!
I actually marked all of the author's pages (including user and user talk pages) as ((db-spam)) since they had the same format, an off-wiki link followed by a byline followed by WP:OR content. ~ BigrTex 22:33, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
Ah, you're right, sorry about that. I was doing a fast sweep through Special:Uncategorizedpages, and flagging articles for categories or speedy, as necessary. I do catch a lot of the vandalized ones, to do a revert instead of a speedy, but that one got missed. Thanks for catching it! --Elonka 03:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:Dpad1980.jpg. The image has been identified as not specifying the copyright status of the image, which is required by Wikipedia's policy on images. If you don't indicate the copyright status of the image on the image's description page, using an appropriate copyright tag, it may be deleted some time in the next seven days.

One of the first principles of Wikipedia is don't bite the newbies. I think you violated it in your hasty deletion and protection of this article. The author requested a ((hangon)) which I believe you failed to honor. I undeleted the article and was in the process of discussing with the author how he might improve his article when you unceremoniously deleted and protected it. I have a pretty good idea of how he's feeling right now. I would urge you to proceed with less haste and more prudence in the future. If you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to leave a message on my talk page. Denni talk 00:03, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Dear Cholmes75
Could you please explain to me why you deleted the page for Morrison Homes? This is a subsidiary company of George Wimpey and one of the largest construction company's in the US. There are similar entries for the category of 'Construction and civil engineering companies of the United States' which Morrison Homes would fall into. I'd be extremely grateful if you could guide me in the right direction for this entry.
Many thanks BMcW
