I'm sorry that was rather silly of me, but when I say more to come I mean it will come. My intentions are to make a distinction between Leeuwarden (city) and Leeuwarden (municipality).

Thanks for reverting the edit made by Kersalflats to the Kersal page as I've done a lot of work on it. I couldn't quite work out what he'd done when I checked the history, did he remove the whole history section? He doesn't seem to understand that once you put something on wikipedia it's in the public domain and no longer your property. Anyway, to avoid an edit war I've edited out the stuff that was copied from his page - which was copied on by someone else and mostly POV stuff which I wouldn't have used myself. I've just left in the stuff that was referenced subsequently. I might add that some of his wording was a straight lift from other websites anyway so I don't know why he should be so upset! I'd be grateful if you would reply on my talk page. Richerman (talk) 03:05, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Regarding this edit in which you revert BetacommandBot, which added a challenge to the fair use of the image: I appreciate the intent. It annoys the hell out of me as well. But that image was not quite up to the letter of the rules. The Bot probably won't try again, but the image would be subject to any wikilawyer who wandered by. So while the Bot pisses me off, it's best to just fix whatever fiddly complaint it has at the moment. I'd be far more pissed if some administrator swooped in and deleted it without the warning BetacommandBot provides. I've fixed Image:The Meteor, the Stone and a Long Glass of Sherbet.png so we should be set. — Alan De Smet | Talk 00:52, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

These guys are really good friends of mine, and I thought that they deserved a Wiki entry...then I found that there *had* been one for them, but it was deleted. I really would like to make one for them, not for advertisement's sake, but to basically show that they are hard workers, great musicians, and that they have a rather large following, especially here in their hometown. I don't know what was on the original page, but I do have access to articles, websites, photos, their manager, and the band members themselves (3 of the members are in my top friends on MySpace), so I'm sure a very accurate, reliable entry could be made about them...but I don't want to recreate something that's previously been deleted, only to be deleted again...I guess I'm asking your views and opinion on this... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twitterpatedxpagan (talk • contribs) 22:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

I understand the removal of the vote templates, but do not understand the removal of the templates that I personally use that are created in my own user space. Please explain your reasoning. Roguegeek (talk) 18:33, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
Alright, a couple of things. You're assuming I'm trying to circumvent the deletion. This is a poor and wrong assumption on your part. I originally created the templates thinking they had never been created. After the first deletion, I saw they had been discussed previously and understood they should not have been re-created. I still thought they were good tools for me to use personally. Is it wrong to create personal tools to use Wikipedia more effectively? Maybe it is wrong, but I don't see a policy against it so point me to that if it exists.
Now for the block you placed on me, I don't see any policy that shows you were able to do that within the scope of your adminship, especially without any sort of warning what so ever. Furthermore, I was asking for clarity before you even placed a block on my account. My understanding of this situation was that I did reach out to you for clarity and you blocked without warning. You have a responsibility to explain those actions to me because, honestly, I feel like you completely abused your adminship in this case. Roguegeek (talk) 10:03, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

I see you were involved in some deletion discussion regarding TOMS Shoes. This article was deleted, then recreated by the business itself, then edited by someone who claims to be a newspaper writer, but it still reads like an ad and is generally unreferenced, unless you include press releases, dead links and references to the company's own websites. I've put notices on the page and note that there is no talk page. Post on my talk page if you're interested in discussing this for cleanup or deletion. (Sheesh, Rogan's Shoes looks similar! What's with the shoes?) It looks like the only notability is that of the owner, who appeared on The Amazing Race reality TV show, then attempted to co-found a reality TV cable network.

there's no good reason why to delete the Objective-J article.

Only to let you know what my thinking was on this, I saw neither the lower threshold of an assertion of importance in the text, nor any evidence of the higher threshold of notability in the article topic, neither did the tagging editor. I'm not aware of anything in WP:N that says wealth inherited by offspring is notable in itself and moreover, I didn't see any evidence this person has been widely noted except in passing as her notable mother's daughter. I let it sit in DRV only because I was curious about what other editors would have to say about this.

Your block on Le Grand Roi just now was sketchy at best.

Trolling? That's a real stretch. How is that appropriate at all? I mean, granted, he obviously shouldn't have templated you, but a block is a highly inappropriate response. I'd strongly recommend you unblock. GlassCobra 01:36, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear Cryptic, I would like to formally ask you to resign from your position as an admin. Your recent personal attack, incorrect and punitive use of tools and your indignancy all demonstrate you are unfit to be an admin. Please resign. Thank you. Bstone (talk) 04:09, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Cryptic, I think this was a really bad block but I don't think you should resign. However, I think it is important that you make a comment at the ANI discussion. Whether it's to say you stand by the block and explain your block rationale or to say that you made a mistake and won't do it again (whichever is the case). I don't think this going to go away otherwise and I'm concerned that if you don't come and talk there, it will end up snowballing. Please consider. Thanks, Sarah 02:48, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
In case you've missed it, your block of User:Roguegeek is being discussed in the ANI thread mentioned above. WKnight94 has looked at it and has some concerns, and after looking at it myself, I have to agree with him. From what I can tell, you blocked at 11:57 on 3rd May 2008, and then two minutes later said this at the thread on your talk page. The trail goes cold after that. What happened? The next edit to your talk page is Roguegeek turning up two days later (presumably after his block expired). His next edit, though, showed that he hadn't even realised he had been blocked, which is not surprising if you hadn't put a notice on his talk page. After he prompts you again, you finally respond here. I see the full thread is still on this talk page at User talk:Cryptic#Vote templates. From what I can see, you deleted and redeleted without warning that you would block, and then blocked, and left no notice, and only started to point to the deletion discussions after you had tried blocking first. If I'm missing something, please point it out. Carcharoth (talk) 21:12, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
As just about everyone has noted, the block you did of User:Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles was improper. As some have noted, one mistake is not a reason to resign, nor is one mistake a reason to de-sysop. However, what seems to be highly reliable as a predictor of de-sysopping is a bad block that the admin refuses to recognize as a bad block. In the case of User:Physchim62, the community was practically begging this admin to acknowledge the error, to show that he understood the seriousness of using admin tools as a response to a perceived insult, but Physchim62, in spite of a clear consensus appearing, refused, and resigned with an angry comment about mob rule. User:Tango similarly blocked a user based on alleged Talk page incivility, and one of the admins who has been encouraging to you also encouraged him. I recently looked at Tango's Talk and found this: [5]. I recall the ArbComm case, that certain editors were "supporting" Tango, and this shows that this "support" continued later. I just responded to that exchange with [6]. It is a loss to the community every time someone who has developed the skills and experience to be an administrator resigns or it is found necessary to remove the tools. But it is essential that the community have trust in the administrators not to abuse those tools. I suggest that you review the ArbComm cases for Physchim62 and Tango, if you are not familiar with them. They were not arbitrary, and Tango wasn't "punished." His inability to understand why he should not have issued the block, and why it was such a serious thing, meant that no other result was possible. If you don't make that turn, you will quite likely go off the road, no matter how many editors are now suggesting that you shouldn't resign. If you apologize, clearly, to the user you blocked, and to the community, showing that you understand why it was radically improper, you will probably avoid further process. But if you do not, well, don't say you were not warned. And this is, in no way, a hostile warning. I'm hoping you get it, and quickly. We need all the help we can keep. --Abd (talk) 02:05, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

-->Re: Prince Music Theater page deleted in October, 2006 and current Prince Music Theatre article: Wikipedia currently has an article called "Prince Music Theatre" about a company that is correctly spelled "Prince Music Theater." A prior article with the correct spelling was deleted 10/28/2006. A recent version titled "Prince Music Theatre" just came to our attention which until 12/19/2008 contained numerous errors and misstatements, with edits by anonymous users, or by users with names that resemble one another closely and may in fact come from one or two people using Wikipedia to air rumors, personal attacks on volunteers and staff, incorrect and incomplete information without references, and pejorative subjective opinions about Prince Music Theater productions and programs, especially shows with African American and Jewish themes, and the Prince's African-American-led education program. The current article is factually correct, but these users have been continually putting up misinformation over the past several months. To achieve encyclopedic accuracy, the spelling of the article name should be changed to "Prince Music Theater," as the company uses the American spelling of the word theater.

Now NxBRE is notable as the free rule engine for .NET. Can it be undeleted? 212.188.108.114 (talk) 11:46, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
While reviewing something unrelated, I just discovered the following loose thread.
I'd like to pick up where we left off...
Do you know how to do this? (I found this and then posted it to the Wikipedia namespace, but I have no idea how it was created).
Please rebuild it.
(Or explain to the rest of us how, so one of us can do it).

.allpagesredirect { display:none; }
in your css will hide the redirects, though you'll have to skip past the subpages yourself. —Cryptic 18:13, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Why can't the band Taintstick have a page on Wikipedia? How is it that every band signed to the same label (Suburan Noize) is "significant" enough to have a page and not them. How is a band that was chosen as Gibson Guitars "5 Worst Band Names Of Today" not "noteable?" How is a band that recieves major airplay on Sirius Faction Radio Channel 28 not worthy of Wikipedia? The band has over 300,000 song plays on their MySpace which is more than numerous bands on Wikipedia. Two of the members are DJ's for Sirius. They have 2 music videos out and an album due out in September. Jason Ellis (Lead Singer) even mentioned having their Wikipedia page deleted on his Sirius radio show and does not understand why his band is single out as being insignificant. They have had the likes of Tony Hawk, Rob Dyrdek, Amber Smith, Heidi Cortez, Angie Savage, Jason Mayhem Miller, Ryo Chonan, King Mo in their music videos. All of these people have significance and Wikipedia pages. This is ridiculous. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deekortiz5 (talk • contribs) 06:25, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
Hello. A while ago you removed the page 2032 Olympics. I fully agree with your reasoning. It was far too early for people to consider needing such a page.
However as 2016 has now been decided I think it would be worth re-opening this page so that users can begin to place correctly referenced information sourced from reliable sources.
I have already noticed that some cities are publicly discussing their intention to bid for 2032. So the time is probably right.
Feel free to shut down any 2036-ers though.

Hello.
Just to revisit the Spyware Termintor article.
I am requesting the article be unprotected and heavily scrutinized.
Otherwise, let the article be created by yourself if just the words: Spyware Terminator is an anti spyware program.
With recognition that this article is a stub and the references given would be http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2167808,00.asp (A review by PC Magazine) and http://www.softsea.com/review/Spyware-Terminator.html (A review by SoftSea), with the official site being www.spywareterminator.com
The existence of this software is mentioned in the ClamAV article in any case. I am suggesting that the existence of this software be shown on wikipedia.
Let the article still be protected, but I think at least the information I request to be added to this article can be catered for?
Best Regards,

Hi there, Im trying to create a wikipedia entry for the popular Doctor Who fan site, Doctor Who Online. For some reason it will not allow me to add it, despite the site being the biggest Doctor Who site on the internet.
I would like it to be known that I do not run the site, but I am a member on their forums, and would like to be able to add a wikipedia entry for it. wikiwhovian

This was a long time ago, but I see that the substitution of User:Ilyanep/Welcome Message ruined User talk:Frostyservant. I am guessing that this also did the same for several other user talk pages.--Jorfer (talk) 16:29, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Utopia (Intellivision).png. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.
