Welcome to my talk page! I tend to reply to messages directly on here, so I suggest watching my page if you're looking for a reply. I watch user talk pages I comment on so we can keep conversations organized. |

Please forgive my ignorance, but how long should I wait before requesting restoration? Also, the other admin who deleted it JPS said on the deletion review "Deletion review isn't the place for such discussions,", so I am very confused as to what I should do next. Please help a newbie out. Jellonuts
Thanks for the response (seriously) and thanks for the warm welcome and patience (sarcastically) Jellonuts 00:53, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
I created many user talk pages after tagging new pages for speedy delete. Now I am trying to clean up these pages. The users never created user pages, so these user talk pages appear only in my contributions log and nowhere else, as far as I know. What is the right tag to put on these pages? Paul 02:00, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I see, and I agree that user talk pages are exempt from speedy delete - my mistake. My thought was that these users would not return as their edits were not made "in good faith." And if they did return, then why not give them a clean slate? Or free up the user names for someone else? Paul 02:10, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks. I can live with that. These pages aren't on my watch list, just by contrib log, where they stay. Paul 02:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Please could you explain why you deleted the image 'wawesh2.jpg'. I earnestly hope that i am missing something here and that you removed it for good reason. I gained express authorisation from the owner of the image, as well as his manager to use the image, as i explained in the notes when uploading and this is the second time it has been deleted! Any info would be very gratefully received!
I'm sorry, I flagged my blank userpage for speedy deletion. However there was an item in its history that I would like to keep track of... is there any chance you could undo the deletion, if this would restore the history, then delete the speedy deletion tag? Sorry to be such a bother. Rawling4851 15:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
You just deleted Image:Xunhua mosque china.jpg which was tagged as a CSD G12 copyvio, but the image was uploaded as {{promotional}} with a source... but the applicable CSD criteria says: [Delete a] blatant copyright infringement which meets these parameters: ... Uploader does not assert permission ... or fair use - in this image fair use was asserted so it does not seem to fall under the CSD G12 criteria. I'm asking just to cover my ass in the future. Thanks if You have an answer. feydey 16:29, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello. Why did you delete the image of Leon Festinger I uploaded? It is widely used on the internet and seems to be in compliance with the following policy:
As a general rule of thumb, Wikipedia allows low-resolution images of copyrighted material if they are unlikely to affect the potential market for the material, are used for the purposes of analysis or criticism, and for which there is no alternative, non- or free-copyrighted replacement available.
Thanks, --Jcbutler 17:22, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
OK, could you check it to make sure it's kosher... image:festinger.jpg --Jcbutler 17:35, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry that we could not find any middle ground on the Cumberland, Maryland page. I honestly tried. It upsets me that someone who recieved a barnstar for making Wikipedia a "stable, comfortable environment for all users" has made this user very uncomfortable here. I hope in the future that you can find middle ground with others. SVRTVDude 17:37, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
The officially recognised version of the borders of the promised land is that which was declared by theodor herzl, in effect the founder of israel as we know it today, in collaboration with the rothschilds, and which version was presented by rabbi fischmann to the United Nations. You do not get any more official or credible and informed than that. I will post the corrected version of this article once more in seven days' time unless I have received compelling information to the contrary before then. In the meantime I would request that you refrain from publishing the grossly misleading and deceptive article that appeared here previously. In future I will report you and anyone else who outrageously deletes an edit without first resolving the disputed information, and I'll thus have your IP blocked from ever accessing this resource again.

Hello, Metros232! Since you were in Category:Wikipedians requesting help improving their user pages, do you need any help? Please reply on my talk page. Happy editing! S.D. ¿п? § 19:42, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I renovated your user page. I left a comment in the code saying "your information here," where you can put down real life information, languages you know, things you are interested in, what you do on Wikipedia, an image, a selected quote, milestone, or anything of the like. Cheers! S.D. ¿п? § 23:47, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
In my RFA, you said it was interesting that the IP I used was also used by Willy on Wheels.... well, I was editing from a public terminal then. I had no idea who Willy on Wheels was back then. Hope this helps as an explanation. --SunStar Nettalk 21:35, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi, you voted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Instance. I was wondering if you could also weigh in on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Scott Johnson (artist) and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/ExtraLife_(2nd_nomination), as they are also up for deletion. Thank you. - Ocatecir 22:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Un protect my talk page so the new message ber will go away
I kind of liked the cool looking box quotes in the Criticism section. Why did you take those out? They're both accurate and verifiable, actually.J Readings 12:04, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Metros please tell me why you deleted the images from the talk page version of Ill Mitch I am working on. I sourced them and tagged them. Please tell me what I did wrong and I will correct it. I have added immediate source, description, fair use rationale, and tags.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jellonuts (talk • contribs)
You know what, I've spent too much of my time on this. I tried to contribute, and it is obvious neither I nor my contributions are wanted here. I am tired of being judged and wasting my time on an article that obviously nobody wants on their wikipedia. I'm frustrated and I'm done. I truly hope you treat future new users with fair intentions better than I've been treated. If you make us all feel unwelcome and driven away, wikipedia will not work as it was intended. You lost an educated and well-intentioned contributor today, and for what? Is wikipedia better off now without this article? How? You may think so, but I think not. There was an entry here about a silly rapper guy who has a weird cult fan following, odd but noteable. Granted, not on MTV or Time Magazine, but among many people and among several independant, reliable, highly circulated sources. (I can't believe you don't consider Stuff Magazine a mainstream publication? You better delete Stuff's wiki article too becasue it is not notable, right?) Now, it is deleted and anyone who ever wanted to seek information about it on wikipedia is SOL, and I am discouraged and disappointed. Congratulations, you win, but the wikipedia project loses.

Tell me how WikiSheboygan is SPAM... Asher Heimermann 03:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
Just go and delete the images I upload. Asher Heimermann 19:31, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Hey, your last edit... the redirection dos not work. You want to tell me why it does not work. It seems like you don't like to reply to my messages. Huh? Asher Heimermann 20:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Sadly, Metros232, I'm not the same as any former user: don't assume that just because I know people who have edited (and introduced me to) Wikipedia, that I am the same as them: I am not. Hope this explains it all. --SunStar Nettalk 01:00, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
You fellers ever heard of Ockenbock? --Charlie Brown man 22:44, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
Hello, I noticed that you had made a comment about a page I contributed, 2 Boob Productions, on Lucky 6.9's talk page in regards to the speedy deletion criteria used to delete the page. I felt that the page was wrongly put up for speedy deletion, and no debate was allowed to discuss the merits of the page in a normal deletion debate. I am still new to the process here, so I come to you asking how I can ensure future pages I contribute are at the least given a fair opportunity for debate and discussion? You seem very knowledgable and involved, so any info you offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance... Suzy77 23:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the reverts to my userpage yesterday. Always appreciated. Gwernol 13:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
The thread you closed here... you called it trolling. I think the descriptive may be a bit inappropiate, and may be construed as slightly NPA. Please forgive me if I have mis-intrepeted. Regards, Navou banter 02:18, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

hey man, thought I'd let you know that i noticed some user blanked then vandalized your talk page, so I reverted it back. take care. Bmg916 01:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I am currently using this image to gather information on the tournaments that took place over these cards. I request that this image not be deleted because it is being used for research purposes. I thank you for your cooperation. Big Boss 0 14:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I am not using the image on my userpage but a hyperlink to the image. However, it has proven very useful here recently and I still need it. I wouldn't have half the information that I have now if this card wouldn't be on wikipedia. It still has sufficient use to me. Big Boss 0 14:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Visit my talk page about the subject please. I hope we can work something out. Big Boss 0 22:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I thank you for your input, but I don't believe you understand those edits. They were a joke, taken out of context. ~ Flameviper Who's a Peach? 17:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Metros - I tagged the image Image:DSC00526 edited.jpg for speedy deletion but you removed the tag because the uploader uses the image on their user page. I'm curious as to why that doesn't show when I click "What links here" - that specifically says that no pages link to that picture.
Anyway the reason that I put a speedy tag on it was because the uploader had created nothing but joke articles that were speedily deleted, and I just assumed that the pictures were not going to be used in good faith. Cheers to you. SmartGuy 15:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Please block this account indefinetly, it was created just for vandalism. I know this person. Noha307 22:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Hey Metros232,
I noticed you removed something like 90% of this article due to copyvio. Before such major revisions, I would suggest posting about it on the discussion page -- or, at the very least, at least reading the page, which discusses why this is not copyvio.
Now, I will admit, that is not an entirely satisfactory copyright statement, and if you wish to argue with it, then please do so; however, removing hundreds of words and quite a bit of other editors' work without warning is not acceptable. Please join the discussion; for now, I have reverted your change. (Though I am hopeful we can rework the page soon to make this debate moot). --SuperNova |T|C| 23:59, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
I understand the need for references. In fact, it's very difficult to determine who exactly was a member of that fraternity at times which often leads to some lively debates. However, wouldn't it been a lot easier and more appropriate to place an "unreferenced" tag on the notable alumni sections than mass deletions? Many editors have contributed to those lists overtime and they should at least be given the chance to cite their sources. According to your broad brush of deleting notable alumni sections, almost all the fraternities and sororities who have sections should be deleted and not just the ones you edited. Moreover, articles such as Notable Sigma Chi Alumni, List of notable members of Lambda Chi Alpha, and List of Phi Kappa Tau people should all be deleted because none of them are directly cited. --† Ðy§ep§ion † Speak your mind 03:41, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Metros232, I recently received a message from you stating a warning. Not only am I completely puzzled by this since I have never knowingly edited the Wiki, I also don't know what I've been warned for. Is there anyway you can track what I have supposedly done? I am at a loss for the moment.
Thanks in advance. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.47.154.62 (talk) 14:07, 4 February 2007 (UTC).
Thank you for your quick and informative answer! Yes, I had hoped it would turn out to be a simple misunderstanding. I'm glad that's cleared up. I wasn't even aware you 'could' message anonymous users. I must say the treatment I have received here, merely as an anonymous user is quite commendable. Thank you, and good day!
Thanks for semi-protecting Build God, Then We'll Talk, I was just about to go and request it. Seraphimblade 18:22, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

I will be uploading 3 Horakti images tonight. I will only need them for 24 hours for User: Exxod 6 to see and save to his computer. After the 24 hours is up do with them what you like and no need to contact me about them. They are expendable unlike the others and will only be needed a short time.

I just have one question, and try to be honest as you can, how closely have you been watching me? Big Boss 0 04:15, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Please report users only AFTER they have edited past the test4 or BV warnings. You seem to be doing it concurrently: warning the user and reporting them at the same time. I've had to remove and/or continue to check back on several reports you've made in the last hour or so to see if the user has vandalized again. In several cases, they haven't and were removed as inactive. Thanks, Metros232 14:53, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Really. The Wikipedia vandals on the cartoon are the badguys, it doesn't promote vandalism. All cartoons have badguys, and the goodguys would always win at the end. It would be hilarious to have this cartoon, it could promote wikipedia, and show the stuff that the vandals do. As for how hard our contributors work to create the ultimate knowledge, and then have it ruined by senseless people; I really need some help on this. Retiono Virginian 13:26, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
No, as the point that spoiling the work of others is wrong sad, and useless, will be placed into the cartoon, and besides, vandalism can't get any worse anyway. Retiono Virginian 13:31, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for you comment on the RCU page: would you mind filling me in on the history of the other puppets (if you know it)? Wikibooks is occaisionally used as a "retreat position" for people who have gotten into trouble on wikipedia... I assume they think things will be easier on a smaller project, but we're actually a lot tougher in certain respects, so we tend to see problems early, rather than allowing a history to develop. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 17:47, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
Metros232, I am not a sockpuppet: I hadn't heard of those users before now, as per Wikipedia:I wouldn't know him from a hole in the ground.
Just because of my interests does not make me a sockpuppet, I am a genuine editor, not here to cause trouble or mayhem.

I sent him a message. I know that I'm not responsible for his actions, but I feel that I should apologize for the frustration that he has caused you. You have shown him far more mercy than he deserves, and that shows a great deal of maturity on your part. If he uploads another OFU image, just block him. That's equal to vandalism and he knows it. If he starts a war with his actions on Uncyclopedia, then I will act swiftly and mercilessly.
