[edit] Your opinion?
I'm on the outside looking in certainly, East, but looking at the recent blocks of Viriditas and Arcayne, I'm wondering if you would be disposed to lifting both blocks as "lessons learned" for two very good and dedicated editors that butted heads. (I'm not disputing your rationale for blocking, haven't looked that deep into this at all). I'd hate to lose either editor that both have Wikipedia's growth at the heart of the dispute. If they were both unblocked, I'd assume that they'd work out there differences on the talkpages. What do you think about an unblock/reduction in block length for both good users? Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 21:51, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- I second this request. This impasse is not from any lack of dedication. I'd like to see them both unblocked with the agreement to voluntarily stay away from the article for a bit. --MPerel 23:56, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
- That's fine with me depending on how they behave. Sorry I can't elaborate more, but I'm on the run - do you want to post to one of the noticeboard for wider input? east.718 at 02:44, May 2, 2008
[edit] A Side Note
You might want to check Jayron's contribs; there's more there. We've been discussing them at WP:AN. -Jéské (v^_^v Karistaa Usko) 04:42, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Danny Abbadi
I am a little confused why you didn't discuss with me citing your excellent newly-discovered materials in advance of the DRV and save me the embarrassment of overturning my own close at a DRV. It is stated quite explicitly at the top of WP:DRV that "Deletion Review is to be used where someone is unable to resolve the issue in discussion with the administrator (or other editor) in question..." (??) --PeaceNT (talk) 13:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Phyllis Schlafly Photo
Why was this image deleted? I followed the proper procedures and cited a specific license. Please explain. I am the photographer.--Cberlet (talk) 03:42, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- No, not really, if you actually read the image page, it had a note that the image was color corrected. The user who did it dropped me a note. I saw no reason to change the licence information. This is something of a waste of time. Are you using a bot or script that does not read the image pages?--Cberlet (talk) 03:58, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Ani#User:ElisaEXPLOSiON
There's a discussion at ANI about the block of User:ElisaEXPLOSiON - it appears that the sockpuppetry continues. It has been suggested that you can lend some context to the original discussion. Please join if you have any context to share. As it is, the discussion hasn't been found. Thanks. Toddst1 (talk) 08:27, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Mark Bland
I noticed a page for a guy I went to high school with named Mark Bland is no longer available. I find it interesting since he trained Randy Orton for WWE and manages artists in the music business on the hip hop side (actually started with Nelly). I read your bio info and you fall in line with both of those things. Could you find out why it was deleted? I am still friends with Mark and I really think that he deserves to be on here. Plus he is now hosting a radio show on the ESPN affiliate here in the St. Louis area that talks only about MMA and Pro-wrestling. Any help would be appreciated. Wiffelbat (talk) 11:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry, I am new to this (couple of months), so please bare with me. I know he may not be "POPULAR" or "FAMOUS" in other areas of the U.S., but he is quite well known here in St. Louis. I have a cached version of the page up from Google right now. From what I see, the information was as current within the last three months...and there was citations to back the information up. I was under the impression that Wikipedia was an Encyclopedia of information about people, places and things that have made a impact (regardless of whether it is as current as "THAT DAY"). If it is about having a running tab on everything going on in a persons life, then it should be a BLOG and not entry into wikipedia. Maybe i don't understand the purpose behind wikipedia. Maybe it is just a large BLOG for others to gufaw over more popular people. I thought it was a place to disseminate information about people that are currently and, in the past, making impact. I think training the WWE's goto guy is a big thing. I think hanndling Murphy Lee, Nelly, Raw Resse (rapalot records) and his new artist Nirvana (from New York actually) is a big deal. Within the last 6 months he was named one of the 20 most successful and sexy people in St. Louis. He is judging on the 3rd year of a TV show on the CBS affiliate here in St. Louis. I mean damn....at 32, this guy has done more in more avenues than most of us have ever done in our entire lives.
- I don't know you personally, other than the bio on your main page. Have you ever got an artist signed to major record deal (those contracts are locked up, so we can't cite them for a source)? Have you ever been an on-air personality for a CBS affiliate in NY (for 3 years straight)? Have you ever trained a WWE World Champion? I mean...cmon...for a guy like your self that loves MMA/Pro-Wrestling and Hip Hop, you should totally be behind this guy. Like I said, I am fairly new to this wikipedia thing and I may be wrong. This is a behind the scenes kind of person with a few IN FRONT things he does. Hell, he's a nice guy, and probably would help you get any artists you know a chance at a record deal (don't know for sure...but I could ask).
- Eitherway, I understand if this was a blog, but it is a page to talk about the past, not the present and future. That is why it is never immediate. It is always talking about something that has already happened. These things have already happened and I think his situation deserves to be investigated a bit deeper. Wiffelbat (talk) 11:58, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you for taking the time to talk with me about this. I will try and dig up some sources that are currently relevant to this situation that can be cited. I will be in touch. Do the sources have to be internet based or can they be offline? Wiffelbat (talk) 01:28, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] A real apology...
Hello, it's me again. I am sorry for the trouble I caused awhile back. I just lost my cool when I shouldn't have. Although I still do not believe it was canvassing, I do recognize that my actions were very unnecessary. Denying the truth wasn't such a good idea either, and I fully regret doing it, among other things. I hope you can [somehow] forgive me. Happy hobbying. :) Basketball110 My story/Tell me yours 01:56, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 04:47, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you :), I see what happened, someone had upload a picture from Manchester and had not put the right copyright in, The bot noticed this and deleted the Manchester image but didn't reinstate the Cambridge image.
I didn't see the Manchester image it may well have been better :), however apparently they didn't put the appropriate copyright on it.
[edit] Image question
I have noticed that you have deleted a few pictures that I moved to Commons, and thanks. A bot though beat you to this one Image:Pritchettschool.jpg, and I am not sure what exactly is the problem. It says the source? but it copied exactly what the guy put on the page. Any help in this please? The image is at the Commons now.--Kranar drogin (talk) 02:39, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thank you very much. I have been moving a bunch as of late to better serve the wiki-community, but I still categorize them here for our project. Just incase you see that I have done that.--Kranar drogin (talk) 02:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Help
Hello. You deleted an exellent image that use to be in the Russian Americans article, Image:AmeRus2.jpg. Could you explaine why you deleted it and restore it so we could fix whats wrong? Because it was a high quality good image with an exelent description page and license types. Shpakovich (talk) 16:17, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- If there are license problems with anybody, restore the image with it's page, i will replace the one that makes troubles and upload a new version. I already worked with images. the images on Han Chinese and Arabs are mine. It's sad that such a good image that was worked hard on will dissapear when it simply can be fixed by me in 10 minutes. Shpakovich (talk) 16:27, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Leontev and Prokofiev-Seveesky are not free. I'll replace them. Shpakovich (talk) 19:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Done. Could you please restore the old version here on wikipedia? I would like to keep of the name of the first user who created it as uploader. Dont worry, in 10 minutes i upload there the new version and fix the license page. It will also be easier for me. 2 images were nor free, Leontied and Seversky. Leontef was replaced by Yourkevitch, who has a free image here on Wikipedia. Seversky i entered a new image from World War One him in Russian military uniform. In Russia all released before 53 is public domain. Shpakovich (talk) 19:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you! Thanks for returning it. I've uploaded the new version and it has no license problems. Shpakovich (talk) 19:51, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] article 'chase hoyt' for deletion
East718,
Will you please advise as to your deletion of the article 'chase hoyt.' I speculate it is on the grounds of notability. I am at your mercy here in this matter, as you have the power to delete articles, but I assure you that the notability necessary to sustain a place on wiki is present still.
When reading through deletion policy I came across this statement among others:"Notability is not temporary. If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic." Now with that said, for my case my article met notability to be added to wiki in the first place, and therefore there would be no need to show continual coverage or interest. However in showing continual coverage or interest, I say this:
You may ask why I am messaging in the first place. I am an actor here in Los Angeles and use my article on wikipedia as a resource for producers, directors, and other actors. In this world of image, it continues the foundation of my career. I have worked on numerous legitimate projects, and have a cult following due to the movies "alien 51," opposite heidi fleiss, "dr. chopper," opposite costas mandylor (saw), and "legion of the dead," opposite zach galligan (gremlins). I was also featured in "the Aviator," working directly with leonardo dicaprio and cate blanchet, and was a lead in the hallmark movie "what I did for love," opposite jeremy london (mallrats), and james gammon (cold mountain). I am currently in negotiations for a leading role in "slaughter," due to be released in 2009.
Is this sufficient for you? How do I go about reissuing my article? Here is an article regarding my progress as well: http://www.aznightbuzz.com/stories/162871.php
Thank you 75.4.233.224 (talk) 18:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi - the article was actually located at Chase Hoyt and was deleted by a different admin, but it went through a process of deletion that can by contested by anybody - as such I've restored it. Cheers, east.718 at 19:15, May 8, 2008
Thank you for your help. Chasehoyt (talk) 02:04, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] User talk:Louisa Petit-Ladoumegue
This user is requesting unblocking. You blocked (her?) as a sockpuppet of Voice of Britain. Do you have any specific evidence to back that up? Because to me, it looks like a new user that is reasonably well-informed and merely saying some unpopular things. Mangojuicetalk 14:41, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Image:WBNM01.JPG
You recently deleted Image:WBNM01.JPG for lack of license... however, a similar image (Image:WBNM03.JPG) was uploaded by the same user the same day with a valid license. Based on what happened to other images on the Wright Brothers National Monument article, it is possible that a vandal removed the license, and automated checks later marked it as unlicensed, and it was deleted before the vandalism was reverted. I'm not entirely sure this is what happened, but it's worth checking -- could you look through the history, and see if there once was a valid license? If so, could you restore the image (and the license)? Thanks.... Carl Lindberg (talk) 06:58, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Verfication and procedure
With all this deleteing: 1) Can you actually INSPECT the file before you delete it? and 2) Update the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2008_May_3 Page When you delete a image? and let the poor sods who's file you delete, where they can find both the discussion and file history? Thanks.... 3) Also, just in case the copyright/copyleft/GFDL/GFDLDRM Liscense is missing, there is/was a copy of the copyright/copyleft/GFDL/GFDLDRM Liscense for the images at the top of the uploades user talk page, where a nice notice could have been written. 71.193.2.115 (talk) 12:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC) 4) You might also do some editing work on the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Images_and_media_for_deletion/2008_April_18 as it lacks
- Attention to detail
- Navigation tags at the top, like the other pages...71.193.2.115 (talk) 12:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- There is no evidence that Rogue is licensed under the GFDL. east.718 at 15:24, May 9, 2008
