Orphaned fair use image (Image:Aofwtemplate2.jpg)

While it's true that this image is not used in an article, it is an image that I used for the (now defunct) Animals of Farthing Wood Wikiproject. I have used it as the image for a userbox on my User Page as well, and at least one other user also uses that userpage. So the image is being used, but I'm not sure how to change it so that it doesn't get deleted. Can you help me with that? (I'm still not very experienced when it comes to things like that). Thank you for letting me know that it has been orphaned, and I would appreciate any assistance with the above request. MelicansMatkin 16:20, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

This might sound a little off-putting or blunt, but I certainly don't mean it that way. The problem is that Wikipedia only allows fair use images in articles — not anywhere else, whether in templates, Wikiprojects, userboxes, and the like. You should also realize that our fair use policy is much more restrictive than any possible theoretical interpretations of U.S. fair use law. As a result, we restrict fair use images to the mainspace. — RG2 ^talk 19:10, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

That seems very fair. Thank you for the clarification :) MelicansMatkin 19:11, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Re: Orphaned fair use image (Image:ASB1.gif)

As the relevant article in which it was used has now been deleted, the image in question may as well be deleted now. Beno1000 19:56, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Unsourced Gaiman article

Thank you for making that change, in order to draw attention to the state of the Gaiman article. I have just recently begun to watch this article, and have discovered all of the unsourced material. I was not sure how to go about bringing such attention to it. Thanks again. –m.f ^{(t • c)} 10:12, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

No problem — I really just moved the template a bit higher up. Honestly, a lot of the article looks like it's in decent shape — some fact-checking would certainly be nice, of course, but it's a good bit of writing to work from. But delving into a "legal battle" without sourcing ... well, that just makes me a bit uneasy. — RG2 ^talk 10:16, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Your Userpage

Hey,RG! I'm also one of those people who don't want a userpage, so I suggest you redirect it to your talk, so it's much less vandalised. I use "#REDIRECT User_talk:Example". The Evil Clown 19:21, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

It's a personal preference, but I'm not a huge fan of that. Appreciate the idea, though. — RG2 ^talk 19:32, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

Weird Question...

Saw your RfA, but I didn't want to put this question there. I was checking around and was looking at the deleted history of your user page from 2005. User:Scm83x was the first person to make edits to your user page, edits that included biographical info. Is Scm83x an alternate account of yours? --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - <*> 03:57, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Short answer: Nope, just a friend of mine.

As for my complete early history here: I dropped in anonymously starting in 2004, though it was very rare that I actually made an edit. In the summer of 2005, I was abroad, and Scm83x asked me to snap a few photos to place on Wikipedia. I sent him a few photos in e-mails, which he subsequently uploaded, using his own account — I had licensed the photos under the GFDL in an e-mail to him. In late August of 2005, I finally started using my own account to upload higher-resolution versions of those photos; you can see that my first edits came on 28 Aug 2005, adding photos to Cádiz. I suppose my user page was a red link, though I didn't think too much of it at the time. Anyway, Scm83x helped guide me around at the beginning, and put down a little blurb about me on my user page, along with a logo from a Web site I ran at the time (if I remember correctly; I can't see the deleted edits). — RG2 ^talk 04:16, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

You can now...  :-)

You're a sysop!

Hi, RG2, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=
 PS Please add you name to WP:LA!

Hey there, I'm happy to be the first non-beauracrat to stop by and offer my congratulations. Good luck with your shiny new toolkit. Of course you know you can always ask for help if you have any questions. Keep up the great work... Johntex\^talk 07:29, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Re:Orphaned fair use image

Hi RG2,

First of all Congrats on you being a Sysop :) Regarding the orphaned images i've used earlier on my user page, I've replaced these with 3 licensed images from wikipedia. Please let me know if any thing further is required from my side. Thanks -- G o a r a n y     talk   02:20, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

The Guard (clan)

Why did you delete this page? The page was under the guidelines for publishing an article.

~TG Harabek

It was tagged for speedy deletion by User:MER-C, who claimed that "it is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject." I agreed that it met our criteria for speedy deletion and subsequently deleted it. If you would like more feedback on my deletion, please bring your concerns to Wikipedia:Deletion review. Thanks. — RG2 ^talk 05:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Then what about this [[1]] ? This is an article about a band and does assert any specific importance.

It is possible that article should be deleted as well. Please take a look at the guideline WP:BAND and see what you think. At a minimum, the article needs references so I will tag it as such. Johntex\^talk 07:14, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Plea to get back Image:FerrocementArmature_drawing-1a.jpg

This was a hand drawn image made by owner of ferrocement.com (if I spell it correctly). It later was placed on IfD as orphaned. I put it into ferrocement article as it was very handy here. Later it was removed by a bot as lacking license in machine readable form.

I ask if you can start a undelete review or something (I have no stamina for this). The picture is very useful, a lot of work was put into it and the author added it in good will and in the same form as his other contributions. Not being able to grasp the complicated formalisms that infested Wikipedia in recent months should not be disqualification for helping here and neither one should be required to stay on a daily guard against robots (it is very rude be flamed by a bot btw and I guess quite a few people left because of this).

TIA Pavel Vozenilek 21:32, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

I can restore the deleted image, but images must explicitly allow free redistribution and modification for commercial and non-commercial reasons. I'm not sure the original wording explicitly allowed modification. Let me know if the owner is willing to license it under those terms, and I will restore the image. — RG2 ^talk 03:00, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Assistance needed - Re: Previously Failed RfA

Dear RG2,

I would like to ask for your assistance. About 14 months ago, I self nominated for an RfA, which I ultimately withdrew (see here). During that RfA, you lodged an oppose vote, and I have taken a lot of the comments from that failed RfA on board since then. I am now up to an average of near on 875 to 900 edits per year, having only recently got back to the net from health issues (Throat cancer), and I am once again considering attempting a request for adminship. I am writing to all those editors who opposed my original self-nomination to ask them to see if they would be kind enough to review my recent work, and to see whether they consider that I have taken those points from my old RfA on board enough to warrant another attempt.

I am enjoying getting back into the swing of working on Wikipedia again, and looking forward to enjoying many more years of work. I am now using Twinkle and VandalFighter for my reversion work on RCP and CVU, and looking to the future.

Thank you for your time, and for your comments.

Fly Gibraltar

I see you have repeatedly removed my requests for deletion on this article rather than engaging in any defence of the mythical airline.

Their aircraft are a product of Adobe and the publicity would power Richard Bransons balloon. If they ever fly, I'll be the first to include it, but pigs stand a better chance.

Let it go. --Gibnews 19:59, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't sound like you even bothered to find out why I removed them. Please learn how speedy deletion and PROD requests work at WP:CSD and WP:PROD, respectively. — RG2 ^talk 20:52, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I find it badly explained and inscrutable, I assumed that inserting a template would initiate the process, as it did with another article, successfully binned; but perhaps instead of critisisig me for being ignorant, and simply removing my efforts, you could show me how its done for future reference. The article does nothing for the credibility of Gibraltar or wikipedia. --Gibnews 23:42, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

I told you that PROD templates should never be re-added if they are removed. Additionally, the PROD template itself says that, "[i]f this template is removed, it should not be replaced." I also told you where to go next — to take it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where instructions are clearly laid out under the heading, 'How to list pages for deletion.' I don't know what happened on your end — laziness, stubbornness, or you just not getting the message after seeing it displayed in one form or another a minimum of four times — but it wasn't because of an inscrutable explanation.

But, OK, it was all my fault. You win. Better? — RG2 ^talk 00:10, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

No, the idea is not to make a debating point but to delete the article, clearly I have not understood the process as you do, perhaps you could assist me in getting rid of that nonsense. Thats not arguing, its asking for constructive assistance. --Gibnews 18:26, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Is this allowed?

Check out the author signature on this image. Allowed? 130.164.76.229 19:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

No; images should not be watermarked. However, since he or she has released that image into the public domain, there is nothing stopping anyone from taking out the watermark and re-uploading a clean copy of that image.

Frankly, it seemed a little surprising to me that we only now got an image of such a basic concept. But after looking through the history, it looks like there already existed some very similar, clean images — copyrighted, too, under the GFDL. — RG2 ^talk 22:16, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Photos and screenshots (and similar items) from the press are almost always prohibited on Wikipedia. There is no good fair use claim to these images, as any third-party use infringes on profitability. — RG2 ^talk 21:20, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Prod

You said: “If anybody removes a prod template from any article for any reason, please do not put it back.”. However, in this case, somebody removed the template for no reason. Maybe could you explain me what is the correct procedure in order to delete a non-encyclopedic article, since its author will always want to keep it?

Consequently, I give up my deletion request for the moment. I assume I can still dispute the accuracy of Sahraoui Scout Association. --Juiced lemon 11:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I searched a delete template for a long time, and I selected the prod one in the end. Sorry, I misunderstood the use of this template.

Concerning the dispute, I suspect this article to be part of pro-Polisario propaganda. The principle of this propaganda is to make the reader to confuse Western Sahara, a disputed territory, with the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, a state who claims it. You can check in this article: Fédération Nationale du Scoutisme Marocain that Morocco, who administers Western Sahara, have enough scout organizations. --Juiced lemon 12:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Self Revert at Falkland Islands

I had actually self reverted myself because I didn't at first realise that the previous edit by Mr Kuntz was also a self-revert, to a previous version that contained both "sides" and a {{fact}} tag. I would encourage you to revert yourself. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick ^t 19:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Please note the comment in the discussion page. I took the article back to where it was before the edit fest. Justin A Kuntz 22:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

I made a mistake and pasted the wrong URL in a reference. I hadn't realised what I'd done, which is why I was reverting to what i thought was a consensus view point. See above.

Right now I'm finding it very difficult not to post something that doesn't come across as a personal attack, mainly because I feel the way I've been treated over this was very harsh and unjust. Funnily enough having my contributions to this article described by you as ridiculous and absurd, I kinda took as a personal attack. Also as the guidelines suggested I did suggest talking this to talk and arriving at a consenus before making edits.

So I'm kinda wondering why I was the one blocked for breaching WP:3RR when in fact I'd only made 3 edits in a 24 hr period. Not more than 3 and I wasn't planning on making any more. You did exactly the same thing and nothing happens. WP:3RR is supposed to apply to all Wikipedians, so if there is a punishment as a result why isn't it equally applied?

Can I also respectfully suggest you put Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers on your reading list. Justin A Kuntz 00:26, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I didn't break WP:3RR; you did. Please read the guideline more carefully and look over the history at Falkland Islands.

And this has nothing to do with not biting the newcomers. I clearly know what I'm talking about, yet you continually refused my requests to look over and understand WP:V and WP:RS before reverting. I clearly and repeatedly told you why I was reverting, but you dismissed the completely valid reasons as "smart ass." This isn't about biting a newcomer who doesn't know about policy. This is about reverting the actions of a newcomer who refuses to learn about policy and take advice. — RG2 ^talk 02:02, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

And for information, look at the edit history yourself. In the 24 hr period before I was blocked I'd made 3 edits. In the previous period I'd made a couple, decided that what I'd put in was against the consensus and then self-reverted. Please note the comments from t above. So I didn't break the WP:3RR rule either. So in which case, why was I blocked?

Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers "Observe for a while and, if necessary, ask what the newcomer is trying to achieve before defining what he or she is doing as "wrong" or "substandard"." I could quote other relevant sections. So in the light of that is describing my edits as "ridiculous" and "absurd" not biting the newcomer? Also did you ask what I was trying to do? No.

Yes I made a mistake, I pasted the wrong URL. Also I guess from your comments you'd noticed the URL I'd intended to put. I'd also clearly told you why I was reverting, I'd spent a long time going through the discussion, trying to find out how and why that consensus was achieved. I'd also told you I was revert to text that was arrived at by consensus. So the question in my mind is why you felt that your own personal POV was more important that the consensus?

And for the record, the remarks I dismissed as smart ass were:

"And the insertion of poorly worded, unreferenced, unverified, and misleading claims for the sake of balancing out the view isn't helping, either. — RG2 talk 22:20, 8 July 2007 (UTC)"

Would you consider that a constructive comment? I took that as a personal attack.

And further for the record, I perceived the way you behaved as arrogant, high handed and bullying. I am perfectly willing to learn about policy and take advice. I don't, however, respond well to your style. Justin A Kuntz 08:18, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Was it poorly worded? Yes. Was it unreferenced? Yes. Was it unverified? Yes. Was it misleading? Yes.

Come on, let's move past this. — RG2 ^talk 08:38, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Look at the history again. Did I break WP:3RR?

Was it poorly worded? No I didn't think so. You may disagree thats your perogative.

Was it unreferenced? Accidentally yes, I pasted the wrong URL. Had I put the correct URL in it wouldn't have been.

Was it unverified? WP:V allows an editor time to find suitable verification - I'd put a place holder in and was working on it. The text was agreed by consensus. Do you think consensus doesn't matter?

Was it misleading? No it most certainly was not. Its clearly an issues given the volumes attached to it in discssion.

Were your comments constructive? No.

No response? Is that because perhaps I was right and didn't break any rule? Justin A Kuntz 21:42, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

No, it's because you clearly did break the rules (at 22:35, 7 July 2007 at 22:40, 7 July 2007 at 22:58, 7 July 2007 at 00:37, 8 July 2007 at 01:31, 8 July 2007), and now you're pretty much just trolling. Quit wallowing in self-pity and making yourself out to be some kind of victim. — RG2 ^talk 00:21, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Suggest you check again, noting the comment above from User talk:The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick as already pointed out to you I self-reverted in order to stop an edit war rather than start one. In fact I've repeatedly pointed this out to you but it seems you can't be bothered to check. I believe that self-reverts don't count to WP:3RR. While we're on the subject, suggest you also look at my comments where I asked to you many times to take it to talk. I also posted a comment on your talk page. My conduct was doing everything possible to avoid an edit war.

Suggest you also check WP:civil and WP:No personal attacks and while we're on the subject Wikipedia:Assume good faith, personally I tend to think Quit wallowing in self-pity and making yourself out to be some kind of victim does count as a personal attack. Similarly and now you're pretty much just trolling does not strike me as assuming good faith or being civil either.

Just a suggestion but before adding a {fact} to one of my edits it might be a good idea to check the reference already cited. Thank you.

Now at the beginning I would have been content with a simple I made a mistake, I apologise. The ability to admit to and apologise for a mistake is not a character flaw. I would probably in turn have apologised for calling your remarks smart ass. Please don't bother now, it would ring hollow after your last remarks. PS I'm moving on, moving past this and considering it a learning experience.

You have a nice day now. Justin A Kuntz 08:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually, Red Hat said he reverted his own edit. But, if you can show me the self-revert to any two or more of the specific edits above — meaning, you would have made only three reverts — I'd be happy to leave a message in your block log exonerating your of breaking any policies. Unfortunately, I just don't see it.

So stop trolling, wallowing in self-pity, and making yourself to be some kind of victim. Those aren't personal attacks, as it's pretty clear that's exactly what you're doing. And it's rich to see such accusations coming from someone who calls my work smart ass and goes on to use smug, smart aleck edit summaries]. — RG2 ^talk 08:39, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Is a self-revert to the previous consensus view point, please note that this was pointed out to you by Red Hat and I quote.

I had actually self reverted myself because I didn't at first realise that '''the previous edit by Mr Kuntz was also a self-revert, to a previous version that contained both "sides" and a tag'''. I would encourage you to revert yourself. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick t 19:51, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Justin A Kuntz 08:49, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Aw, aren't things better when you ask nicely and stop throwing bizarre accusations of newbie-biting and personal attacks around? Anyway, I see that the 01:31 edit is different than the previous couple of edits, but I don't see how you think it's good enough to be considered a "self-revert." Here's what I see:

1. John removes a few lines.
2. You revert John's edit.
3. I revert your edit.
4. You revert my edit.
5. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick reverts your edit.
6. You revert The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick's edit.
7. The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick reverts your edit.
8. You revert The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick's edit, adding back in additional lines about General Moore.

Clearly, these four edits all change ". The English language is in common use there." to "with the English language and names in common use rather than Spanish varients promoted by some foreign media" and change "Non British English-language media sources often use the ISO designation of "Falkland Islands (Malvinas)", whereas Spanish-language media refer to the territory simply as "Las Islas Malvinas"." to "Largely as a result of the Falklands War of 1982, many Falkland Islanders now consider the use of the name Malvinas to be offensive. Non British English-language media sources often use the ISO designation of "Falkland Islands (Malvinas)", whereas the Spanish-speaking media refer to the territory simply as "Las Islas Malvinas"."

The only difference with the edit at 01:31, July 8, 2007 is that this one reintroduced the line about General Moore, but it still reverted everything else that the previous three had. Introducing a new line, and changing nothing else, doesn't make the fourth revert completely different from the others.

And why was it reverted?

1. Unreferenced? Yes. No reference was ever actually provided, except one to a mirror in the fourth edit, which I assume is a reference to the letter on the talk page.
2. Unverified? Yes. Without references, we cannot verify.
3. Poorly worded? Yes. Qualifiers like "some people" do this, or "many people" do that, really aren't clear and helpful terms, especially since some of these changes aren't in the lede. There is clearly room for terms that aren't pointlessly general (See Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms). Additionally, there's a misspelled word in your edit.
4. Misleading? I thought John put this pretty clearly on the talk page here. — RG2 ^talk 09:25, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

The longest response I've ever had from you. For once actually helpful and had you done that originally I would probably have responded differently. Did you also note the comment above John from myself.

For now I've reverted to the previous consensus presenting both sides, I suggest that in line with the guidelines on disputed articles that a discussion takes place before edits.

The edit I presented took everything back to the consensus view point before everyone had gotten all excited and the people involved were happy. The words might have been different but the sentiment was there. As noted by Red Hat above it was a 'self-revert'.

So are you going to keep your promise and leave a message in my block log? Justin A Kuntz 09:45, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Only now helpful? The original point was that it was unreferenced, unverified, not neutral, though that didn't seem to faze you much. I suppose the length of my response is more important than its content, then. Anyway, I am going to keep my promise, but I am still waiting for the evidence.

You added, at least four times after John's original removal of the content, "with the English language and names in common use rather than Spanish varients promoted by some foreign media" and "Largely as a result of the Falklands War of 1982, many Falkland Islanders now consider the use of the name Malvinas to be offensive."

That's a violation of the 3RR policy, plain and simple. — RG2 ^talk 09:56, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Mmm, I'd actually done my level best to keep it neutral, I notice you've had a look at the other edits I'd done. Are they not NPOV?

I'm also curious, why did you choose today of all days to go and have a look at my edits? I noted earlier you went and slapped a on one, when it already had a reference supplied. Just curious, nothing else because the tone of your response does indicate a certain hostility. But then text does not convey emotion well.

Two other editors considered what I'd done a self-revert and were happy. As I have pointed out many times, I took it back to a consensus view point. I've admitted to an error on my part and indicated that I probably shouldn't have addressed your remarks as smart ass. So having pointed to a self-revert are you now going to keep your promise or not? Justin A Kuntz 10:22, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I went back today because you happened to bring it to my attention. You positioned the reference before the line in question, so I didn't see it, though I suppose your subsequent edit summary was a bit wise-ass. But, anyway, I've rearranged it.

As far as I can tell, you undid John's edit, undid the revert, undid the subsequent revert, and then undid the revert after that, adding in an extra line. Of course I keep my promises. But you still haven't shown where you undid one of these edits. — RG2 ^talk 10:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

If you are simply going to argue semantics over what is or is not a self-revert, then to my mind that does not assume good faith. I made what I considered a self-revert, it took the article back to a previous version that contained both "sides" and a tag, please notice not my words. Now if you look at your edits, they removed the consensus view point. I've pointed out that both of the editors considered it a self-revert why don't you? Justin A Kuntz 11:01, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Because you re-added the aforementioned content four times. A self-revert would have been undoing 22:40 to John's revision, undoing 00:37 to Red Hat's revision, or undoing 22:58 or 01:31 to my revisions. At this point, I don't think the blocking administrator, Tariqabjotu, was mistaken in his decision to do so. However, you can bring it back up with him on his talk page, or you can contact the administrator to declined to unblock you, User:Kurykh. — RG2 ^talk 11:12, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

I take it that means that you're sticking with a narrow interpretation of what constitutes a self-revert and I won't see you making good on that promise anytime soon then? Thats fine, somehow I didn't expect you to. Well its been an interesting learning experience. Farewell. Justin A Kuntz 12:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Unindent

Just for information BTW.

And why was it reverted?

1. Unreferenced? Yes. No reference was ever actually provided, except one to a mirror in the fourth edit, which I assume is a reference to the letter on the talk page.

Response: An error on my part, I had pasted the wrong URL in the reference. It was intended to be the reference that I have now included in the article not the letter on the talk page. Was it the fourth edit? I thought I'd put it in earler.

2. Unverified? Yes. Without references, we cannot verify.

Response: See above, if you had asked what I was trying to do then perhaps this would not have arisen. With the correct reference it is easily verifiable. You seem to be hammering me for a simple mistake, for which I have already apologised.

3. Poorly worded? Yes. Qualifiers like "some people" do this, or "many people" do that, really aren't clear and helpful terms, especially since some of these changes aren't in the lede. There is clearly room for terms that aren't pointlessly general (See Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms). Additionally, there's a misspelled word in your edit.

Response: This is the first time that you've pointed out a typo or indeed to that policy, none of your responses actually helped by pointing to something like that. None of your previous comments have been a constructive criticism. Personally after looking at that policy I don't think my edit falls into that category.

4. Misleading? I thought John put this pretty clearly on the talk page here.

Response: Actually I agree with John's comments, which is why I reverted to the earlier consensus. Please note that you don't appear to have appreciated that John's comments in fact agreed with something I'd just posted. Justin A Kuntz 13:07, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

OK? This is kind of after-the-fact? I don't really really hammer on anything unless you bring it up. Come on now -- quit dwelling on it already. I was certainly a bit surprised when you messaged me still worrying about this earlier today. — RG2 ^talk 13:18, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Wait -- what? John said that "with the English language and names in common use rather than Spanish varients promoted by some foreign media." wasn't good wording. That's the thing you stuck in there four times -- what are you talking about? — RG2 ^talk 13:26, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually those weren't my words but the previuous consensus text to which I reverted. Had you asked I would have explained. Personally I'd have been more succinct but I chose to revert to the previous consensus text. If you care to take a look at the talk page, sentence structure is so sensitive there are reams of text dedicated to dotting every i and crossing every t. You will note I'd agreed with John that the article needed tidying for grammar and spelling.

Now the article is tagged as a controversial topic and asks that editors take it to the talk page before making changes. I asked you to do that but you chose not to. You first response to me was:

And the insertion of poorly worded, unreferenced, unverified, and misleading claims for the sake of balancing out the view isn't helping, either.

Now that I don't call a constructive criticism or pointing me to the error of my ways. In my response I pointed out:

Noting this is a sensitive topic I thought it better to establish a consensus here first. I'm working on references to how the Islanders view the term Malvinas. If i can't find any I'll delete it myself.

Now the only thing you could really fault me on, was referring to your first comments as smart ass but hey no one is perfect, not even you. But it was in response to your own hostile posting.

Before you waded in, an edit war had nearly started but the people involved had chosen to sort it out between themselves. All had agreed to call a stop to it. It really is interesting to see the lengths you'll go to after the fact to justify your conduct, if perhaps you'd done the same before the fact it would never have happened.

And I only came here today because you didn't have the common courtesy to respond before. I have a pretty clear idea why now. So once again, I'll move on and consider this a learning experience. Farewell, adieu, adios, abschied, addio and прощальное. Justin A Kuntz 14:41, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Strange ocurrence with Pikachu and 911 articles

I found this administrator page in the 911 history section, and I needed to tell an administrator about this. As I typed in Pikachu in the search field, I ended up at the 9-1-1 article. At the top it said, in plain text above the article's tags, the same thing a user not logged in would see above an editing field: "You are not currently logged in..." It still said that the article was called "Pikachu", and when I clicked on the "History" tab and went back a page, I ended up at the true Pikachu article. I don't know if this was vandalism, a glitch, or what? I typed "Pikachu" in the search field again, and this didn't happen. Savie Kumara 05:40, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikpedia

Hello, User:Rguy2 and welcome to Wikipedia. The way Wikipedia works is: people who have conflicts open a dialog with each other before wrecklessly thrashing in articles. Apparently, you felt some urgent need to delete an image I recently created, in a mistaken assumption that it was an identical recreation of a previous image. Wrong. Did you do a bit-for-bit comparison? Or what? The reason why people discuss issues with each other is because issues are so complicated that most people cannot understand the issues when they try to think. Again, welcome to Wikipedia and I hope you understand that WP depends on dialog before unilaterally deleting or blanking or vandalizing. -Wikid77 10:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

A bit-by-bit comparison? That's rich. Nice try, though. — RG2 ^talk 10:52, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Sahraoui Scout Association

Wow, I totally don't feel like that guy above, I value your contributions, and you saw POV I had not intended and was not seeing. Are there any more POV issues I need to address that perhaps I was overlooking? I don't think the thing needs to be redirected, and hope you can see what I am trying to do, land area instead of political entities. Chris 21:48, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

I totally agree, and you and I are reading from the same page. I am trying to change the name of the page to Scouting in WS to be more inclusive, as it is a special situation. Of late I have not been clear in my speech and do not know what to attribute it to, but you make all the points I would. Having survived an AfD, which is what the two editors really want, to see the thing gone so it doesn't remind them that the status of the area is not de jure decided, I'm not willing to see the thing broken up just because it is controversial. I would be happy to even section the article into ==Scouting in the x zone of demarcation== and so on, with

Main article: Scouting in x

as a lead. But for splitting it up to get rid of it, Jergen and you and several others worked really hard to source the thing and I will not give in to POV pushers after that. I wish I could have stepped back and seen where you were going before the POV I didn't see was pointed out to me, sorry I didn't. This was one of my earliest babies as the guy helping the whole thing is a friend from the 89 NJ, and I can't just say "well, delete it" to some guy who wants it gone but knows nothing of Scouting or what we're about. That being said, my gut inclination is to respond to the guy, but lately I sound like the doctor on House, really snarky and ugly, and I am not that guy. I have put the move to Scouting in Western Sahara through the proper channels, it is presently at Wikipedia:Requested moves#Backlog, but it will require an admin to look at it and make the move. The move itself does not seem to be controversial, but the existence still is, even though it passed AfD. Can you suggest a course of action? Thanks again, Chris 01:59, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Re:3RR

Hi thanks alot of the notice. Actually in my previous 3RR report with the same user, I was similar blocked along with him for the same offence. Unfortunately, the user has chosen to remain obstinate despite extensive discussions after the block, and partly due to the lack of interest amongst other editors, I find myself wasting plenty of time just trying to understand what his primary concern is over the new format I was trying to impliment (which up till today has remained a mystery). My patience is wearing dangerously thin in my dealings with him, despite my attempts to cool off from the whole incident by not forcing my version in for some weeks now despite discussions which were in my favour...--Huaiwei 05:37, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Seriously I dont know. I just find it rather sad that I am potentially being "disciplined" when dealing with a user who has proven to be seriously disruptive, almost veering to the point of vandalism. Moving the originally titled World's largest airline to The World's largest airlines [2] without discussion is just one example. I even strongly suspect that he has created a sockpuppet just to do some self-rewarding of barnstars! [3]--Huaiwei 05:48, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh yes the barnstars are really amusing. I was about to consider reporting it, but heck...until he does some serious damage with the sockpuppet, why bother? ;) Anyway I see that you have already opened a discussion on the above at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airlines, so lets see how it goes than. I suppose I shall remove the 3RR notice for now too. Many thanks once again for your suggestions, and I do feel some comfort knowing I wasent alone in dealing with characters like him! ;)--Huaiwei 05:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Edit Warring on Falkland Islands

I would like you to consider removing the violation of WP:3RR from my block log. If you look at the edit history, in the 24 hr period before I was blocked I'd made 3 edits. In the previous period I'd made a couple, decided that what I'd put in was against the consensus and then self-reverted to the previous consensus. The two other users involved were happy with what I'd put. I'd reverted RG2 edits because they were changing what was the consensus agreed. Please note my comments on the talk page and given that I'd self-reverted I believe the block for breaking WP:3RR was a mistake. Justin A Kuntz 11:54, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, Tariqabjoutu — I think he worded his request a bit poorly, so just to clarify: I told him that I'd leave a note in his block log saying that the original block was unjustified if he could show me that he didn't actually break WP:3RR. Obviously, we can't usually remove stuff from block logs ... — RG2 ^talk 12:16, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

To start, one does not have to make four reverts in twenty-four hours to be blocked for edit-warring. That being said, between 22:35, July 7, and 01:31, July 8, you made five edits to the article (four of which can certainly count as reverts). Less than twelve hours later, you made more two reverts. Thus, Justin made a total of six reverts in twenty-four hours. I'm not sure what you're contesting there. -- tariqabjotu 16:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Hey there, I was wondering if you could please take a look at the following sections of the Singapore Airlines talk page, and perhaps weigh in with your opinion: Talk:Singapore_Airlines#Parent_company, Talk:Singapore_Airlines#Singapore_Airlines.2C_Singapore_Airlines_Limited.2C_Singapore_Airlines_Group, and from Talk:Singapore_Airlines#Infobox_updated_again_and_removed_2_sects. onwards. I have requested a RFC but it hasn't had any response yet, and this issue does need to be resolved for once and for all, as it is having implications on other airline articles, such as we have seen with fleet numbers for Qantas.

Hi, you are quite right concerning that long-standing dispute, although it wasent exactly confined only to that article alone. Hence while I too would normally avoid "confronting" anyone this way in an unrelated talkpage, his continued reference to Singapore Airlines to bolster his POV in numerous instances is some cause for concern, thus prompting that comment from me. Meanwhile, would appreciate if you may check into the inconsistencies in the fleet list too, for I find it one of the poorest-referenced sections in that article.--Huaiwei 15:24, 16 September 2007 (UTC)
