Hello, I noticed you just deleted Turn It Up (Ben Bailey-Smith song). I visited the article from Special:NewPages and managed to catch the original editor adding {{CurrentSingles}} to the page. Since music on the charts is notable, you may want to undo the deletion and replace {{db-context}} with {{expand}}. Of course, if you did see that change and still feel justified in deleting it, don't bother and let it stay deleted. --DavidHOzAu 02:14, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Good day bainer. I have noticed on the AMA notice board, Æon has asked you to handle my case. You can read my description of the case at User_talk:OrbitOne#AMA_request. I hope to see you on my talk page soon so we can discuss the case. --OrbitOne [Talk|Babel] 09:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi on the Uluru talk page you mention that you would check out the legalities of releasing images under GFDL type licenses, has there been any progression Gnangarra 13:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello Thebainer! Fine, you are updating the article 2006 East Timor crisis. I am the editor of the German article. If you are on search for sources, just check the references at the German article. Most of them are in English and updated until today. ;-) --J. Patrick Fischer 17:05, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
You deleted The Arms of Jesus Children's Mission, which was just a stub. I had tried to add a hangon message so that I could add the references that I found at http://www.google.com/search?q=%22Arms+of+Jesus+Children's+Mission%22
The Canada Revenue Agency web site confirms that this is a registered charity with business number 128201845RR0001. If you think that the article could be expanded into a useful one, could you please restore it? --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 01:50, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
your OrbitOne case is tied to my HappyApple case, I'm acting as HappyApple's advocate. Just to let you know, In my opinion, OrbitOne has been trying to 'manage' a vote on this issue, and has characterised a 3 to one vote against his position as being consensus for his position. He's also tried wikilawyering (though he says its me that's doing that... I've tried to point out the actual policies he's referencing, which he seems to not understand, or is intentionally misrepresenting, I'm not sure there...) using WP:NOT and characterising the pop culture section as a 'game directory'. There have been multiple votes, against him and now his talk on the Village Pump shows he is plainly using this article to make a point and change the policy and custom of including cultural referents in articles. His intent seems to be to wipe game references (which he refers to as fancruft) and articles from Wikipedia.
here and here and here is my discussion with my advocee... and here, here, and from here to the end of the page is the relevant talk page discussion.
The text in question is here (the text OrbitOne wants to expunge).
User:HappyApple (my advocee) is not a native English speaker, so he has trouble with expressing himself clearly in English when under stress, but he understands English pretty well, except for subtle nuances of idiom.
My recommendation to all parties was to disengage for one week, and we all expect to be discussing this again Monday the 4th, (tomorrow). The dispute seems unresolvable, since it's pretty clear that this sort of references to games are common on wikipedia, so my advocee doesn't want to budge from inclusion of the material in some way, and your advocee wants it removed badly enough to get angry about it, and try to draw the wikipedia as a whole into it, on the proposal page of Village Pump, 'behind the backs' of the users on Hwacha's talk page who were having a good faith discussion... Two of the 'remove the games' editors churned the discussion Astroturfing style in an effort to keep the discussion going, and dismissed opposing comments as 'irrelevant', while actively misstating policy and calling the pop culture sections "veiled game directories".
So we may need to escalate to the next appropriate step after the discussion phase, I think. Let me ::know your thoughts, when you get done reading up on it, I'll be in and out all day today and am resigned to spending some time tomorrow on discussing this as well. If you want to reach me off-wiki for a private exchange, I'm at... water AT dr.com . Feel free to talk there or on my user page. User:Pedant 21:10, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
This is HappyApple's sketch of a paragraph:
And some more material sent by my advocee:
Needless to say, I would be happy to help HappyApple to rewrite the paragraph in good English, etc. If OrbitOne would allow it, I think the paragraph could be a helpful addition to the article.
Thing is, though, that there are more folks on that page who have been rallying behind OrbitOne (well maybe only one, not sure) so this may still need something more, and maybe an RfC would be appropriate, I just don't know... I've seen this issue come up before on other pages, but never a real resolution that could be referred to wikipedia-wide. You have any input on that? User:Pedant 18:22, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
I think my advocee would be happy with no RfC, if the section could stay, rewritten as suggested above, and I don't see anything wrong with that. But if we are going to do an RfC, I'll go with it, and my advocee would as well. You know me, I prefer not to do anything 'officially' if we can fix this another way. (It's the 'rat hairs in candy bars' thing. Common sense would say that rat hairs cannot be an ingredient in candy bars. They do exist in candy bars however... Because someone insisted that there should be a law that no rat hairs belong in candy bars, eventually legislation was enacted in that regard: Candy bars shall have no more than a certain percentage of rat hairs. Now it is the law that a certain percentage of the ingredients for candy bars can be rat hair.)
None of us want that kind of a solution. At this point my advocee and I would probably accept any reasonable solution to the debate, as long as its fair and in line with our policies. What do you suggest? RfC or no RfC? User:Pedant 18:07, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Any ideas of how to resolve the dispute with ScienceApologist? I'm fed up. Suggestions welcome. Eric Lerner
Hi there Húsönd. A few people have noticed your reverts on My Girl, removing the attempt at a marriage proposal. Of course this isn't appropriate content for Wikipedia, and you were correct in removing it. But might I suggest that next time when you're removing content which is inappropriate, but obviously added in good faith, you avoid the use of the default warning templates? They're a little unfeeling, and can give the wrong impression sometimes. Remember we should try to turn good faith misguided contributors into good faith well-guided contributors :) --bainer (talk) 16:00, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Stephen, I want to thankyou for supporting my RfA. It closed with an absolutely amazing final tally of 160/4/1. It was just fantastic having the support of so many really respected Aussie administrators and editors. Your comment was extremely kind and generous and I just to thank you for supporting me so solidly. I hope you'll give me a quick tap on the shoulder if you notice me making any mistakes. :) Thankyou so much for your support, Stephen. Cheers, Sarah Ewart (Talk) 18:49, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Ok, CSD is criteria for speedy deletion, but which number 1 and 4 are you refering to? I do intend to upload a better picture of the weapons system at some point in the future, so I need to know which of the criterias were used to delete this in the first place.

Hi - I've given you autovoice on #AMA-Wikipedia - per your request. Thanks :) Martinp23 13:07, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the thoughtfully-worded close of the Lauder-Frost AfD. It's always nice when an AfD is closed on more than a quick numerical tally, and especially nice when the closer takes the time to explain the reasoning. If I ever pick up the mop and bucket, I'll take this one as a model. William Pietri 01:37, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Gregory Lauder Frost. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review.

Dear Thebainer
I am a director of Tiraspol Times Newspaper.
We publish in a conflict zone in eartern europe where political games are played.
Our newspaper and its online editor are being caught in the crossfire and we are getting a very unfair press and some fair balance.
It borders in not is libel.
We are a western europe owned news agency and have no connections with the kremlin as the site satates.
Can you help please, we are prepared to travel to the US next week if this requires it , also available for video interview to establish the truth.

If you transclude the template what you get is this:
In other words, the spiel is reproduced twice - the second time in fixed space. This is not necessary since the reviewing admin does not actually need to copy & paste the second version, merely change {{unblock|argument}} to {{unblock reviewed|argument|decline=decline reason}}
Why is it better to have the unblock spiel twice? What technical purpose does that fulfil, please? Guy 08:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Hello. I know it's a joke page, I added the totallydisputed as a joke, too. That's why I took care not to include it to the category with npov disputes. I mean, see the edit summary! Well, since you didn't get it, I guess it was a lame joke, so, well done! (Or I could start edit warring over this... it would make it to WP:LAME in no time!) Take care :) --Michalis Famelis (talk) 17:27, 2 October 2006 (UTC) By the way, I thought that putting the box under the joke notice would include the dispute in the joke section.

Hi, I created an article about Lazydork, a huge internet star and you deleted it really quickly - even after I tried to dispute it on the talk page. This is really unfair. I'll repost what I wrote on the talk page since you apparently didn't bother to read it.
"Hello, I created the Lazydork page and was stunned to see it had been marked for speedy deletion because the subject was "unremarkable." As seen by the links I added, the Miami Herald, the Washington Post, the New York Times, MSNBC and youtube itself all disagree this is an unremarkable person. I wish I could also add a link to his live interview on CNN's American Morning. It is absurd that Emmalina would have a Wikipedia page and Lazydork would not since 1) he is an active poster and 2) has now surpassed her in popularity. His relevance to the internet video sharing phenomenon has been recognized by all outlets of major mainstream media, and Wikipedia should allow the article to stand.
His journey from prosecutor to internet star to professional poker player has captivated the attention millions, and deserves to be recognized on this site." —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Gigicat (talk • contribs) .
"Lazy Dork Is a famous you-tube enternainer/rabi/philisopher who inspires new content as well as reviewing old. Known throughout the lands as rick or el-dizzel or lazyDork he has become so much of a legend some even doubt his existence, although some fables put lazy dork as so clever he counted to infinitely ...twice."
I saw that you removed the link to Image:Alabama Theatre interior.jpg on the Alabama Theatre page because the image had been removed. Did you also remove the image itself? I just wanted to know why it was removed. Although it was copyrighted, I had received explicit permission to use the image on Wikipedia from the copyright holder and had posted such in its description (I believe). I thought this was acceptable. Am I mistaken? --Lkseitz 12:30, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
CUO Bainer,
I understand why you thought it would be a good idea to change back the additions to the ADFA page, but one of them was important. The ADF are trying to downplay a very serious incident that happened at the Academy last Wednesday and we can only let people know through Wiki. We will make the changes more encyclopaedic next time, please don't alter them.

I havent heard from you for some time and you haven't answered my email, so I guess wiki would be the best medium to discuss the case (Hwacha). I thought about the case some more, and my main concern is the possibility game publishers would use wikipedia to boost advertisments for their new games. An alternitive though, is to list only games no longer sold. Thus, if the game was truely notable for featuring the weapon, then its notability would not change if the game was discontinued. --OrbitOne [Talk|Babel] 20:51, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, I see you have contributed your thoughts to Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Fair use images in lists. It's been dead for a while, but I have archived it and taken a new fresh start. I hope this time we will be able to achieve something as I have summarized the main points of both sides (feel free to improve them) and I call you to express your support or oppose on the concrete proposal that I have formulated.

Hi Stephen,
If you have some spare time, could you please cast an eye over the 2006 Victorian election campaign, which I split from the parent page Victorian legislative election, 2006. There is a dispute about how the article should be structured and whether it needs to be significantly altered at all. I think that the article is suffering from a lack of diversity of editorial opinion, which makes consensus appear impossible. There is of course a dialogue to follow on the talk page as well Talk:2006 Victorian election campaign. Thanks, Grumpyyoungman01 00:38, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
