Just letting you know I added the license information. Let me know if anything else is missing. Thanks. Jeremiah (talk) 01:24, 14 March 2010 (UTC)
Closedmouth, sorry I am a new to creating pages for Wikipedia. I took that phptograph of the statue myself, I thought I had indicated that when I uploaded it. Would you be able to direct me to how I confirm this to avoid the license issue you raised?

I now have acquired a following, apparently. Are these IPs open proxies?

Hi Closedmouth, I would just like to ask that if I can get the rights to use the File:FTV logo.jpg from Frequency TV, can I then put it on WIkipedia? Thanks, Pilkington13 (talk) 16:31, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
Hi! The Climate Realists blog (http://climaterealists.com/index.php?id=5395) is reporting that the Wikipedia article on climate scientist Keith R. Briffa was deleted for nefarious, cover-up type reasons. If I'm reading it right, you are listed as the administrator who did a speedy delete on the article, although that isn't showing up in your log. Anyhow, I thought you might want to know about the trouble that's coming, and maybe do something to restore the page? Good luck! Jeangoodwin (talk) 16:50, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

You recent deleted "Template talk:Infobox pigeon breed/doc" and similar pages as "Speedy deleted per CSD G8, redirect to a deleted or non-existent page". It's my understanding that it's permissible to redirect talk pages of /doc pages to the relevant main talk page, even if non-existent, to prevent future discussion from becoming fragmented.

Dear Closedmouth,
You moved page 'IPv6 Packet' to 'IPv6 packet'. That's OK, but would you be so kind to move (or undelete) the accompanying Todo page as well? —— Dandor iD (talk) 10:57, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

"As you wish"
Oh, no, I would have wished people DID use the discussion page. Did try to be constructive. Suggest better wordings. Suggest citations. I should add, even saying why they thought I was wrong would have been better than nothing! 216.239.82.80 (talk) 10:42, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
That actually happened on another article I contributed to, and although the wording ended up different than I would have done, I'm happy because what the other person posted was better than what I had.
Sandstein having blocked me, rather than the real vandals, I was content to let that stay as it was. But what I wish would have been that people be cooperative and constructive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.239.82.80 (talk) 10:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
Ooops! Forgot the 216.239.82.80 (talk) 10:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC) which I'm sometimes supposed to use and sometimes not. 216.239.82.80 (talk) 10:41, 5 April 2010 (UTC)
What I am pointing out is that the other people were destructive with their reversions. And they were not using the discussion page. I DID use the discussion page and urged others to do so too. Most people didn't even try to put in an argument saying why they thought I was wrong. I was the constructive one, yet I was the one blocked. Sandstein ignored that reality, and blocked me. Not only from the article, but even from discussion pages and at least some talk pages! I can't possibly fight the powers of wikipedia --- and have no interest in doing that --- but at least Sandstein's unfairness was here for people to see. And similarlly, your failure to correct Sandstein's unfairness is also here for people to see. 216.239.88.76 (talk) 02:08, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
Still waiting. Or is it only the constructive poster who gets penalized? 216.239.79.180 (talk) 08:37, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
I don't know if you can block ranges, but can you block the 114.59.0.0/16 range? It is used by a long term IP-hopping Indonesia vandal who delibrately inserts misinformation by ridiculously connecting CBS, Digimon, and Resident Evil articles without any source to back up his claims. The range was blocked before, but after the block expired, the vandal began doing his modus operandi again by using the following addresses in just the past two days:
He also used the following addresses, leading to the previous blocks.
I hope that you take action ASAP before he strikes again using another address from within the range. Thank you. - 上村七美 (Nanami-chan) | talkback | contribs 10:37, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for responding to the problem I occured. When I tried to edit a page today, I found that I has been blocked. The block was given on 2 April 2010 and already expired, and I success to edit at a page. However, two hours later, I could not edit any pages, stating I have been blocked again - but the block was given on 2 April 2010. Then I have a big question mark there. What's going on that a expired "autoblock" reoccurs at a past time? I have got an account-block, what related to the autoblock? Raymond "Giggs" Ko 16:16, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I understand wikipedia's editors have made large efforts to keep deceitful claims off wikipedia.
I understand that someone could have posted citation needed after material supect of being deceitful material.
I understand that someone could have posted citations needed at the top of the page.
I understand that someone could have challanged the material that had no citations if any person believed it to be deceitful.
I understand that someone could have posted citations needed at the end of each claim.
I understand that someone could have even deleted material that had no citations if any person believed it to be deceitful.
But to delete the whole page, to delete the whole page, without even giving some counter citation, to delete the whole page, and not even leave a copy in the articial history, (a copy could be there for people to further read about)
(and to even delete the F.O.S.I. talk) is edit hawking. This can also appear as "topic haterid".
Wikipedia has this challenge process. It needs a chance to be given for it to work. This page only SEEMS to be TREATED as if it where advocating racial wars.
I did not write the page, but I did pull it off google's cache. 75.119.98.215 (talk) 21:11, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
Hello! The article The Klan (Belgian band) is attacked again. Greetings Raoniz (talk) 02:01, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
Dear ClosedMouth. You deleted the page Harry Ralston because you considered screenwriter/director Ralston un-notable , possibly because there was no attribution in the article. But Ralston's film "The Last Man," that he wrote and directed won the Best Film prize at two significant international film festivals, was reviewed with promise by the lead critic for the New York Times, AO Scott, and was released by Lions Gate Films, a notable studio. Furthermore Ralston is a frequent co-writer with Roger Avary, Academy-Awarding winning screenwriter of "Pulp Fiction," as noted in Avary's bio, on IMDB and on Avary's wikipedia page. Last, Ralston has a recent screenwriting credit on the MGM film "Mexicali." and has another script being produced this year called "Ace of Spades," with Forrest Whittaker. The article about him is reposted below with complete attribution" Thought it really deserved reconsideration. Best, Len Cantrow}}
Harry Ralston is an American-born screenwriter, director, and producer.[1] After working in advertising in New York and then as a journalist covering bullfights for the Mexico City News he moved to Los Angeles and wrote and directed the 2000 film The Last Man [2] which starred Jeri Ryan (in her first starring role), and produced the 1999 Tamara Hernandez film Men Cry Bullets [3] The Last Man won Best Film in the Festival of Fantastic Films in London[4] as well a Lumière Award in the New Orleans Film Festival[5]. It was released by Lion's Gate [6] [7]. He most recently co-wrote the MGM film "Mexicali" with Roger Avary and Cristian Gudegast & Patrick Kelly[8].

A couple of weeks ago you deleted a page called Duffys Constant with the remark "Blantant Hoax" This was not a hoax and was a actually a useful scientific constant. Admitedly the page was not done well and was not cited but if you could restore it and give me a couple of weeks to sort it out i would be very grateful cheers lordmwa (talk) 19:47, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi there,
I recently tried to create a Wikipedia page for Pocket Gamer, but you rejected it. I was hoping you could tell me why.
My arguments in favour of having a page on Wikipedia are
a) that Pocket Gamer is referenced in hundreds of other articles on Wikipedia (a search yields 4549 results, though not all refer to Pocket Gamer), many of them with incorrect links to an old entry for the long-defunct Pocket Gamer magazine (e.g. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob's_Game). b) that dozens of other comparable video game blogs have Wikipedia entries, including Kotaku, Joystiq, Destructoid, and so on. Each of these sites has referenced stories by Pocket Gamer on numerous occasions, just as Pocket Gamer has referenced many of theirs. On this basis, I find it difficult to understand why Pocket Gamer is being singled out as ineligible.
Would you mind explaining?
Hope you're well.
Cheers, Rob

Can you userfy Cyprus-Norway relations for me so I can bring it up to Wikipedia standards. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 15:34, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
Why did you delete the Wikipedia article on the Kirkstall Valley Campaign?
I have not read these pages - perhaps they were inaccurate, however:
1) This organisation certainly existed and I was a Director. 2) There is an comprehensive documentary record of the Campaign's activities. 3) It brought a significant action in the UK High Court, which is still discussed to in legal circles. 4) It was defeated as a direct result of a false or misleading statement from the UK Treasury Solicitor. 5) The history of the Kirkstall Valley Campaign has great relevance for community groups who challenge established authority.
It would be helpful if you could undelete these pages so that I can read them and discuss their contents with you.

Hi, I'm a new member, but I've been editing Wikipedia for probably years - mostly grammar and minor details that needed to be fixed up. I recently came across a musical group that has no English Wikipedia article, but does have a rather inadequate Simple English article (update: that article was deleted yesterday). The English article has been speedy deleted five times; thrice under A7, once under each A9 and G10. I want to create an article that won't get speedy deleted, so I have a couple of external links, I can compile a discography, and a paragraph or two of information about 009 Sound System and Alexander Perls' work in other groups. Do you have any other handy hints for writing a quality article? This will be the first page I have created. MoonShadow384 (talk) 00:46, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
