[edit] Railroad Earth

Please take more care when tagging articles for deletion in the future. Railroad Earth wasn't really vanity they performed at multiple festivals and have multiple CDs out as well as being formed from a popular band. This qualifies as per guidelines at WP:MUSIC. If you think this is in error, please list on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion instead. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:22, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion

Hi! I agree that your subject was notable, but the article wasn't much more than a "predicate nominative," that is, just an opening sentence that anyone researching the subject already knows.

A good stub should have at least three good, informative sentences. That's just a guideline, of course. Feel free to recreate the article if you can find a few more biographical/historical articles about her. Happy new year! - Lucky 6.9 23:06, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] vote

Please vote on whether to delete Kancho sense. You said you wanted it deleted and I nominated it for it. Voting link here: Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kancho_sense StarTrekkie 09:08, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Loyola Seal

Why did you change the seal on the Loyola page? The old one is the official seal of the school, and is properly sized, while the one you put in is too large and is just a logo, not the seal. Liamdaly620 01:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Thinking aloud -- The seal might look better without the grey background. They've always been focused on branding, the 150th anniversary banners were up on Charles St. for a good 2 years. It's like they say, as long as they spell the name right there's no bad advertising. At least tell me they left the cigar dog on the last window of McManus (opposite the art gallery)...

[edit] {{tl}}

I note that in User:DCrazy/Force Static (a very interesting proposal, i might add) you refer to {{tl}} as a tempalte that should be used with subst. You should be aware that the current consensus on WP:SUBST is that tl, cl and similer tempaltes should not be subst'd, not merely that it is optional to do so. Personaly i am fairly careful to subst appropraite tempaltes, but I never subst tl, nor cl. DES ^(talk) 21:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Meh. Missed that one. For me, {{tl}} isn't complex, but I guess for the standard wiki user it is. --DCrazy talk/contrib 21:27, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] move war

Hi please cool down a bit. Radiant and Neto are currently engaged in a move war at WP:AUM. Please don't fuel to that. The page flips currently back and forth :-). BTW many thanks for your very good ideas on templates. We should definitely spin this further. I'm back at next circa 08:00 UTC (need some sleep now, its 1 am for me :-). Best regards. --Adrian Buehlmann 00:03, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Blargh, shoulda noticed the moves peppered throughout the page's history. I think my point still stands, but as we all know, logical arguments are worth zilch on the internet. Take a look at that God-awful flamewar called Wikipedia, for example!  :P --DCrazy talk/contrib 00:25, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Unblock request

Please paste the block message you see below so I can see what autoblock is affecting you.--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 03:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

{{unblock|There are some good people here at Loyola. A lot, in fact. And some of us can find out who the Loyola Vandal is, thanks to our static IPs.}} Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by Curps for the following reason (see our blocking policy): "persistent vandalism from Loyola College in Maryland, please have your network administrator contact Wikipedia"

Your IP address is 144.126.12.139.

Please contact User talk:Curps about lifting this block.--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 03:47, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

If your network admin can find out who is reponsible and take action to prevent further occurance do so and get them to contact Curps as the block message says. No vandalism == No blocks. --pgk^(talk) 08:31, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think blocking an entire academic institution such as Loyola is a good idea, because despite the efforts of a few vandals good academic information can come. Would MIT ever be so blanket-banned? I think not. Even if our academic output does not nearly rival that of MIT (a point I will readily concede), that is no reason to hold a double standard. Not to mention the school probably won't be pleased that if someone (inconspicuously) vandalizes the Loyola article, nobody that actually works for the school can repair it (think John Seigenthaler). Please unblock us.

I've sent an e-mail to Curps with our network security admin's contact information, though I don't know the extent of information provided to Curps re: the vandal's IP, and as of yet I have received no response. IRC is not an option becuase our firewall blocks ident. From a previous ban, I know one of the machines s/he used is located in the Intro Computer Science computer lab, but every student has access to that room. If any of the IPs used by the vandal match one of a few certain ranges, the vandal can be caught -- every residential hall has its own /8 subnet, and the IPs are allocated pseudo-statically to each user, AND all computers in residence halls connect through a VPN client. I'm highly discouraged right now and would love nothing more than to bring down the hammer on this jerk. For myself, I'll keep an eye out while I'm on duty in the Intro CS lab.

P.S.: I've un-nowiki'd the unban request that way I'm still in the unban request category. Otherwise I'm afraid no admins who can use this information to rectify the problem. --DCrazy talk/contrib 10:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Still have not received a reply from Curps. Someone please help. --DCrazy talk/contrib 19:39, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Per our email, I am waiting on the response from your network administrator.--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 21:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Please follow this discussion thread- [1], and if you have anything further to add, you can post to your talk, I am watching it.--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 22:01, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the delay, I've now unblocked. -- Curps 06:06, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aerosmith singles

These articles are stubs and need to be extended. Just have a look on the following category. All those articles are stubs. To add an article to this category, please use {{Single-stub}}. Janadore 23:51, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Teabagging picture

You removed it. I've restored it. If you wanna gain consensus, put it to images for deletion.-h i s ^{s p a c e} _{r e s e a r c h} 19:33, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] DC Meetup notice

Greetings. There is going to be a Washington DC Wikipedia meetup on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in Category:Wikipedians_in_Maryland, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "but let me know about future events", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices \(like this one\), you can list yourself under "I'm not interested in attending any others either" on the DC meetup page.--Gmaxwell 00:26, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
