WP:CSD#I9 tags should only be used in clear cases of copyright infringement. If a user uploads a free-licensed image sourced to a commercial content provider, then I9 deletion is warranted, likewise for watermarks and images you can trace to commercial websites via google image search. If a user claims copyright on an image and you are merely suspicious, then make a report at WP:IFD or WP:PUI. Thanks, ˉˉanetode╦╩ 03:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
By choosing which elements of the game to include in a screenshot, the characters, weapons, graphic elements, etc, IGN has created their own intellectual property interest in the image. IGN does claim copyright on these images, not just fair use. Further, since IGN is writing about the game, and Wikipedia is writing about the game, IGN would claim our use is infringing on their competitive, commercial interest. We can claim fair use against the game designer because we do not compete with them. That isn't true for IGN. IGN presumably also has direct permission from the game designer as well. Wikipedia can't steal content from commercial publishers. Miami33139 (talk) 06:22, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I saw that you removed the ((prod)) template from School of Rock 2: America Rocks. If you look at the notability guidelines for future films, it says to hold off on creating a stand-alone article until filming is confirmed to have begun. The future films department also suggests merging the content to a broader article if necessary, so would it be possible to redirect to School of Rock#Sequel? —Erik (talk • contrib) 22:23, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. When you tag an article for proposed deletion, as you did with IPhoneBT and Pod to PC, please provide a reason why you think the article should be deleted, e.g. ((subst:prod|put your reason here)). If you don't do this the deletion request is likely to be declined by the reviewing admin. I have put reasons into those two articles as I agree that they should be deleted, so you don't need to do anything there, but please bear this in mind for the future. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:45, 1 January 2009 (UTC)
The comments you removed were to discussions on the talk page. They weren't in archives, they weren't disruptive. I happen to disagree with their content, but dealing with disagreement is the function of talk pages. Pseudomonas(talk) 19:28, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
Hi Miami33139. Thank you for your work on patrolling pages and tagging for speedy deletion. I just wanted to inform you that I declined to delete Sipie, a page that you tagged for speedy deletion under criterion G11 because of the following concern: G11 only applies to blatant advertising. No notability or no edits are not valid reasons for speedy deletion either. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion and especially what is considered Non-criteria. In future you should rather tag such pages for proposed deletion or start an appropriate deletion discussion. Regards SoWhy 10:13, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
I noticed that you have tagged a number of well-known software products for speedy deletion. In all the cases I can find, not only do their articles claim notability, but in fact the software is widely used and known (including things I am personally familiar with). Speedy is completely the wrong tag for these cases. Moreover, while AfD would be more appropriate, few if any of them appear likely to be deleted were an AfD filed.
I also noticed some AfD nominations by you of companies that appear to be notable, alleging WP:ADVERT, basically. In none of the cases I noticed does this claim seem to be true. I'm sure all the article you have tagged in either way could be improved, but the deletionist sentiment you seem to have here seems off kilter to me. That said, the AfD process is what it is, and presumably multiple editors will weigh in on any such nomination; consensus works to decide individual nominations. LotLE×talk 22:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
I really wonder why you are engaging in these disruptive deletion efforts. You might take some lesson from the fact that almost every single thing you try to delete reaches overwhelming KEEP consensus. For god's sake, you nominated Xfce (though admittedly withdrew it later)!! It appears as if no degree of notability, citation, article quality, or just plain "WTF!" stops you from nominating deletions. LotLE×talk 22:49, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
It is true that I've bookmarked your changelist. Since so much of your recent activity has been wacky AfD or Prod nominations of worthwhile and notable topics (particularly on software products), I indeed want to be sure to take a look at such nominations. Unfortunately, some previous inappropriate nominations by you only received two or three comments, which sometimes isn't judged well by closing admins.
While it is an inactive page, I think if you were to read Wikipedia:Notability (software) (and just WP:NOTE in general) it might lead to a more sensible pattern. Unfortunately, there is no really good guideline now about notability of software, but everything you have nominated is way over the line to clear notability. Simply because an article is currently a stub, or has other writing problems, does not mean that the topic is non-notable. Rather than do all these harmful nominations, you might try spending a few minutes on researching a topic, and add some appropriate citations or whatnot to them. LotLE×talk 01:39, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
Would you be interested in working with me (and anyone else who is interested) to give these a good reboot and see if we can reach consensus? §FreeRangeFrog 00:59, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

I've accidentally blocked your account. I quickly unblocked you, and noted in the summary that it was in error. - Rjd0060 (talk) 01:31, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know that following me around to undo my edits without discussing them with me may or may not get you into trouble -- it all depends on whether an admin sees it as "wikistalking" or not -- but calling the edits, which are quite useful and have a specific purpose (as explained here), "despicable" isn't going to help, since it could potentially be seen as a personal attack. Were I you, I'd consider reigning myself in.
In any case, please do enjoy yourself: I'm sure it's a lovely way to while away the hours when there's nothing good on television. Ed Fitzgerald t / c 00:47, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
P.S. If you ever do get around to making constructive edits to improve the encyclopedia and want any advice, please feel free to call on me.
However, you might want to talk a look at WP:LAYOUT, which says in this section:
Which is a clear indication of the allowable need for the adjustment of article layouts using blank lines. The very same logic applies to navigation templates for precisely the same reason.It is usually desirable to leave two blank lines between the first stub template and whatever precedes it.
I'd also note, per your repeated edit summary, that the "whitespace" I'm introducing -- which is, in actuality, nothing more than one extra blank line -- is not "unwanted", it's quite deliberate, and solves a rendering problem in Internet Explorer, the browser used for over 60% of internet interactions, as per User:Ed Fitzgerald/spacing, a page I once again suggest it would be beneficial for you to read.
"Whitespace" is a problem when it interrupts the text on a page because of faulty formatting or layout, which is why I go out of my way to correct those problems when I come across them, but it cannot be our goal to eliminate every speck of whitespace from an article, since it's the artful balance between text and image and non-used areas which creates a pleasing visual presentation. Therefore, there can be nothing automatic about the non-deliberative elimination of blank lines which have been purposefully inserted to help separate one element of the page from another, and stop them from slamming into each other in our eye.
It's exactly the same principle as when you requested this edit on the "Clarify me" template, only in your case the mash-up was horizontal, and needed a space or a comma, and in the instances I'm fixing, the mash-up is vertical, and requires an additional blank line. (You might also want to take a look at WP:BUNCH.)
Incidentally, when necessary, I check out my edits with Firefox, Opera, Chrome and Safari, so I'm quite aware of how other people see them. I'm also aware that after over 27,000 article edits and, as you quite accurately describe it, only a "handful" of questioning comments, you are the only editor who has taken it as a personal mission to undo these edits, the only purpose of which is to improve the encyclopedia. I'd request once again that you stop.Ed Fitzgerald t / c 01:59, 23 April 2009 (UTC) through 09:37, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
It's good to know I'm not the only one that the whitespace bothers. Honestly, I don't mind the links-navbox ones so much, but the Table of Contents-First section is too much. TH1RT3EN talk ♦ contribs 20:51, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Miami22139,
I see you created a redirect page, and i think it was meant as a way to use the redirect template you created in the STU-I. This id of course a fine option, but in case you want to create a direct link (Mostly when there are only two different meanings) you can utilize the ((otheruses4)) template. I switched the redirect template on the STU-I with ((otheruses4|a secure telephone|Stu as a common name|Stuart)) to create a direct link. Have a look if you like/wanted to do this. Otherwise, feel free to revert this edit :) Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 20:34, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I declined CSD G4 because I couldn't find the deletion discussion. But then I found it. =) However, I still can't delete it because the current Exaile article isn't "substantially similar" to the deleted one - the article is basically rewritten. If you still feel strongly about this, please take this to AfD, but I personally feel that would be pointless - Exaile is a rather well-known player and there's probably plenty of third-party media coverage by now. If I can find a linux.com review easily with 30 secs of googling, who knows how many else are there out there... the previous AfD seems a bit ridiculous. But that's just my opinion. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 20:14, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
I'm thoroughly confused by this statement of yours. If we don't have specific notability criteria for stuff, then the article subject is at least supposed to fulfil the General notability guideline - that is, there should be significant third-party coverage. Linux.com (at the time the article was published, when it was run by SourceForge) was (and still is) independent of the creators of Exaile and had editorial gatekeeping. The article was non-trivial, which would count as "significant" per GNG. That, corraborated by the fact that the software is (by rankings such as Debian and Ubuntu popularity-contest, and other sources) one of the major media players, means that the player should be at least mentioned somewhere.
I frankly don't get the rest of the comment and the comparison with hot-dog carts. If the hot-dog cart gets local media coverage and it's well known to the residents, it probably should be covered somewhere. Yeah, the rest of the world doesn't care. But the locals do. By the same analogy, for the life of me, I don't know why the heck we even have an article about New York City in first place - it's some damn town in America, why should I care about it? What, millions of people live there? Well, they're not even European and we have millions and millions of people here, why should we care? ...see where I'm getting at? I remember when Jimbo was peeved when people nuked Mzoli's on the exact same flimsy pretenses.
As far as article being just a listing of features - well, what else do you expect the article to have? Not every media player has a cute mascot or a juicy remote execution exploit incident that turned half a million computers into spambots. (Hypothetical examples, both, but I hope you see where I'm going at.)
You know what? The Exaile article has been deleted a few times and people have started to rebuild the thing. This is a symptom that there's a demand for information in some form. After I've posted this reply, I'm going to go undelete the article, then replace it with redirect to List of Linux audio software#Exaile with ((R with possibilities)). I'm only undeleting it because people may want to use the material in the deleted article to write an article that complies with our notability criteria. I'm only doing this because I honestly believe this is the perfect compromise solution, and I believe it avoids duplicate work.
I'm sorry for being so emotional about this. These are just things that shouldn't need explaining. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 11:22, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
This article was prodded as it isn't based on reliable sources. I deprodded. Unless it can be sourced better the prodder will probably send it to Articles for Deletion. Some rewriting based on reliable sources wouldn't go amiss; I'm struggling with finding sources focussing on this aspect of the Terminatorverse. Fences&Windows 19:15, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, the previous article was deleted mainly because of a request from the subject saying that the article was inaccurate (even though it was "officially" deleted for notability reasons). The subject requested that there not be an article - see Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive70#Sally_Boazman. What I would do is post to WP:BLP/N pointing out your new article, and asking for suggestions on whether it should be restored. And yes, feel free to use the code on my page - I adapted it from someone else's anyway! Black Kite 09:55, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

You're the most unusual inclusionist I'm come across - your prolific deletion nominations would tend to place you well away from being an inclusionist! I noticed that aside from deletion nominations, most of your edits seem to be formatting. My advice is to slow down on the deletions and consider more carefully if any of those articles could be sourced, expanded, or merged. There's nothing like content creation to get a richer experience of editing Wikipedia. Fences&Windows 00:29, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
I suggest you read Somebody Else's Problem and Wikipedia:Somebody Else's Problem because it is quite clear from your contribution history that instead of fixing articles that can be fixed, you prefer to prod, AfD, and even follow other editors around undoing their edits. I cannot find any software articles that you've significantly contributed to/improved but I can find dozens upon dozens that you've attempted to have deleted without bothering to check for sources or attempting to improve. This goes completely against WP:PRESERVE and WP:BEFORE and is not the sort of behaviour that built Wikipedia. --Tothwolf (talk) 01:34, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

Even though we currently don't seem to be getting along too well, I appreciate your recent efforts with some of these articles regarding merging. The ((mergeto)) template has a ((mergefrom)) counterpart also, which should be applied to the target article. You can find an example on ext2. The template documentation should be able to fill you in on some of the other optional parameters such as how to specify a section in the target's talk page about the merger discussion.
You may not be aware of this, but many of the IRC-client and related articles you are prod/AfDing were planned to be merged and redirected into a larger article anyway. Having these deleted does not really improve or change things since this was already in the works. In the larger scale of things, it doesn't matter if they are deleted as they can still be undeleted at any time to allow them to be merged or to have additional references added to help deal with any issues of notability. If you genuinely wish to help with this task the WikiProject that is working on this really could use a hand as we are all working on it part time, one small part at a time. The large task has been cataloging and sorting these articles to figure out where each part should ultimately go.

Notifying editors that you have mentioned them in an arbitration case is a good idea. However, in the Tothwolf case you appear to have notified only certain editors that you have mentioned and your wording ("Even one sentence that says the characterizations of your existing statements are correctly representing your opinion would be helpful.") is not neutral as you are suggesting not just that you want them to comment but how you want them to comment.

I don't know if you have read the article in question, but most of it is information about the software. Why is it required that information about a software be from "3rd party sources"? All of the sources are individually verifiable. Perhaps there should be more inline citations on history, but that should be used under the ((refimprove)) tag.
As for notability, I could in theory reference a bunch of journals and stuff to gamesatisfy the system (ex.http://www.manilastandardtoday.com/insideBusop.htm?f=2009/november/10/chinwong.isx&d=/2009/november/10) or try and dig for the archive log (don't even know if it exists anymore, was on TorrentFreak) where Vuze's developer stated that they took the Comcast Throttling code from Deluge.

Hi there, I removed the speedy deletion tag from this article because the article was not deleted after discussion. The deletion that occurred was a proposed deletion, which means that the deletion was totally uncontroversial and uncontested but didn't have any discussion (unlike Articles for Deletion). Anyone can request that a proposed deletion be reversed at will, or recreate the article from scratch without prejudice. Since nobody actually requested that the article be restored, but instead recreated it, it is still eligible for another proposed deletion if you want to attempt it, or open an Articles for Deletion discussion. Thank you. -- Atama頭 23:45, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi, regarding your question about the "comparison of media players" page, it was never meant to be a fork. It's more like a snapshot, where I made some changes which were immediately merged back into the main article. I've done that twice now. --Kjoonlee 07:41, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
Just so you're aware, I declined the speedy deletion of Lowyat.net. The original AfD was sparsely attended and occurred over a year ago. I think it would benefit from the full debate running. Mackensen (talk) 12:09, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I almost fell out of my tree when you nominated Trac for deletion. Trac is the most used bug tracking software (with wiki) in opensource. One would suspect that without trac the opensource would fall into a heap. FGS: mediawiki even uses Trac!!!
Someone better save wikipedia's trac entry, I'm not going to, as it will be wonderful to see such an PEBKAC where important wikipedia page gets vandalised by an "expert".

You know, that wasn't much of an Afd discussion, the sw got five stars on Cnet... I'm wondering, would it hurt to try to see if the article can be fixed, rather than speedy tagging it right after the poor guy.. well, illegally recreates it? I'm thinking IAL, but if you want, you could explain DRV to the guy. He is trying to fix it, he just seems a little lost. KillerChihuahua?!?Advice 01:27, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure your section on the talk page should be there in the sense that because it's evidence. Rather, I think what you should do is to copy the whole thing in its own separate page and link it within your evidence section.

Certainly getting ad personam is not in the Wikipedia standards, but you should take one thing into account. Why don't you add "notable sources" yourself instead of letting other people find them (because they may be worried about losing their favourite article thanks to your help) ? You should be aware that you haven't managed to remove all the questioned articles. Fortunately people have the right to vote... bjfs discuss 00:45, 22 December 2009 (CEST)

how long do you think a stagnant article should remain in a person's userspace before it could reasonably expect to become nominated for deletion? i'm a concerned with the implications of a non notable article being deleted, and then userfied, and still being indexed by google. when admins userfy these articles, i think they should automatically add the noindex code and also automatically remove the mainspace categories, but in practice this rarely happens. know where i could propose such an idea to admins? i think userfied articles which can be googled e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Tothwolf/List_of_quote_databases are undermining to the goal of a good encyclopedia Theserialcomma (talk) 19:16, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi, I'm wondering what the basis was for your removing of some of the definitions for STK in 2009, I can't see what is gained by this. One of the two messages was I have removed the things which are not ambiguous., can you explain what this means? The other message was about importance, I can't judge how unimportant the removed definition was, but again if someone had used an abbreviation like Stk when talking to me I'd like to be able to go to wikipedia and find the definition regardless of how important or unimportant it was.Balrog-kun (talk) 00:31, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Last November, you PRODded this, and it was deleted. Its undeletion has now been requested at WP:REFUND, so per WP:DEL#Proposed deletion I have restored it, and now notify you in case you wish to consider taking it to AfD.

I expect some minimum standards from you, if you are an administrator. Do search for available literature and references before marking any article for deletion.

No regrets...as you sow, so you reap...that's all...i believe that his arguments about article's notability were biased. I honor WP:OTHERSTUFF, but can't keep noticing the bias. The article Epic (web browser) will not be created again, as I have no good faith for those who marked this article for deletion. Let the editor prove his credibility by reviewing other articles like Maxthon, Sleipnir etc. etc.I will no longer be a contributor to Wikipedia.

My sense is that you are not following WP:BEFORE on your AfD nominations. Is that correct? I've also seen some darn pointy MfDs from you. I'd ask that you please consider A) not evaluating an article by where it is at the moment but by where it can go per WP:DEL, B) follow WP:BEFORE. I asked for something similar above but never got a response. As it's just asking you to follow existing policy and guidelines I don't think it's outrageous. Hobit (talk) 21:48, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

I see that you restored content at Coffee. As you are aware, you are responsible for the content you add, so would you be kind enough to quote your source for the statement "On average, a single cup of coffee holding about 200 millilitres (7.0 imp fl oz; 6.8 US fl oz), or a single shot of espresso—typically containing about 30 millilitres (1.1 imp fl oz; 1.0 US fl oz)—can be expected to contain 375 milliliters of caffeine", please? I can't find support among the sources that I can access, and find it counter-intuitive that 30 ml of espresso would contain 375 ml of caffeine. Thanks, --RexxS (talk) 23:16, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
Please do not fail to notify its creator that you had done so. The person who created TimeSheet is a total newbie, and you blasted his first creation on a technicality less than 45 minutes after the article was posted. Even if that's not a violation of the letter of WP:BITE its the violation of spirit. Don't worry about welcoming the newbie now. I already took care of it with a plate of cookies. Probably better me than you anyway. Judging by your remarks on the AFD page, you would have used a warning template and turned the guy off of WP indefinitely.--*Kat* (talk) 06:20, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Resolved by motion at Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Clarification that:
1) Tothwolf (talk · contribs · logs), Miami33139 (talk · contribs · logs) and JBsupreme (talk · contribs · logs) are banned from interacting with each other, broadly construed. This includes things like not editing each other's userspace, not becoming involved directly with each other in discussions, and not nominating articles for deletion which another one has started. This does not prohibit commenting in the same discussion without directly interacting or editing the same articles so long as they are not directly in conflict. They may request enforcement of this restriction at the Arbitration Enforcement board or by email to the Arbitration mailing list; they may not request enforcement or action against each other for any other reason or at any other venue. Attempts to game this restriction should be treated as a violation of the restriction.
2) Miami33139 (talk · contribs · logs) is subject to an editing restriction for six months. Should Miami33139 make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, assumptions of bad faith or disruptive to deletion discussions, Miami33139 may be blocked for the duration specified in the enforcement portion of the case. The six months starts from the day this motion passes.
3) Remedy 2 (already updated once) is changed to "JBsupreme (talk · contribs · logs) is subject to an editing restriction for six months. Should JBsupreme make any edits which are judged by an administrator to be uncivil, personal attacks, assumptions of bad faith, or disruptive to deletion discussions, JBsupreme may be blocked for the duration specified in the enforcement ruling below." The six months is reset to start from the day this motion passes.

Hi Miami,
In October, 2009 you flagged up a Wiki on Red Giant Software, which has no citations, no evidence of notability, some NPOV/advert issues and well... basically the whole Wiki is just a list of products (hence the advert problems). The flag says if notability cannot be established, the Wiki should be listed for possible deletion.
That was almost two years ago. The Wiki has not improved. I stumbled upon it while writing a draft Wiki for GenArts. Suffice to say, 27 references later and I'm beat. I don't want to fix the Red Giant Wiki, based on the notes, I'm not sure it's worth saving (other users seem to have struggled to establish references for notability) and with two years already gone, it's unlikely to be fixed.
I've never actually deleted a Wiki before. It feels kinda mean to delete someone else's work. So I thought I should at least seek your consult. I'm not even sure how exactly to propose it for deletion. What should I do?
