Glenn Smith, Toronto St.Pats Hockey Player

Checked the links for the NHL Hockey players and Toronto Maple Leaf players, and it looks like the entry for Glenn Smith (Toronto St. Pats - forerunner of Toronto Maple Leafs) was deleted. Why?? Are we parsing the old players for space for new ones? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.229.221.78 (talk) 03:19, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Fighting Irish edits

honestly, you need to take a page from the charlie weis page and put in mor ebalanced info. There should be good stuff, but also mention of this historic low for notre dame football. You decide how it should appear. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.143.233.253 (talk) 21:19, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Image

Regarding your deletion of Image:Co logo express black 3p.gif, I believe that there was a fair-use rationale attached to the image. Could you give me some feedback onto why that fair-use rationale was inadequate? Thanks

You must have a link to the article in which the image is used. Hence, I deleted it per this part of a policy. Maxim 23:27, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Oh, well since it was being used in the Continental Connection article up until its deletion, and since the fair use rationale did apply to that article (although I did make a small oversight and not specifically reference the article in the rationale), is there a way we could reinstate the image, and have me add the 'Fair use in Continental Connection' phrase to the fair use rationale?

Deleting an image because of an easily correctable defect is disruptive. It would be simpler to just correct the defect. This was just such an obvious case. Rklawton 15:58, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

The talk page of Suck my balls

I specifically asked that an administrator not delete the talk page of suck my balls without leaving on my talk page a consideration of the proposal that that salted page should actually be a redirect to teabagging (compare eat shit --> coprophagia). Yes, the subject matter is the sort of thing that would attract vandals, but if you could unsalt the page so I could create that redirect, that would be good. Sometimes, I just feel that admins fail to listen, which is why I'm considering requesting adminship myself, as I've been around long enough and made nearly 8000 positive edits.--h i s _{r e s e a r c h} 01:39, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Maxim I really don't want to look like stalking you (I'm hitting my usertalk contribs), but you really should go through your deletions of that day, as I said there probably are more pages you shouldn't have deleted right away (or before at least addressing the concerns raised there). -- lucasbfr 10:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

The salted page template says: "Restoration can be discussed at the talk page or deletion review." Evidently that's not true, in this case. There's a paradox with the salted page template because these talk pages do meet the WP:CSD.--h i s _{r e s e a r c h} 15:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

why did you delete VoiceCaptionIt

The article was completely factual and modeled after similar pages for Google, Sierra On-line, Microsoft, and dozens of other company pages. There was nothing advertised at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jerrybowerman (talk • contribs) 17:24, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Problems

I'm seeing you're having ALOT of problems with image deletions. Something up? Vampire Warrior 23:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

What? How on earth is Maxim having problems with image deletions? They seem to be working perfectly fine from where I sit. Daniel 00:02, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Compared to the number of deletions, I'd say Maxim's doing really well... I estimate about 2-3 comments per 1000 deletions. Siebrand 00:03, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Tagging Commons dupes

Hi Maxim. In about 1000 edits SieBot will be done tagging the round of duplicates on Commons. Once they have all been taken care of next week, I'll see if it is needed to do another round. At least now the en.wp admins will get the opportunity to use CommonsClash for its second intended purpuse: getting rid of naming conflicts between a local wiki and Commons. Ideally this list is empty :). Cheers! Siebrand 00:01, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Userpage

Hi. Why do you really not want a userpage? Thanks!   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 01:05, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

File:77baloonscrew.jpg deletion from Match Game

If I had known about the rationale issue, I could have easily provided a TV screenshot rationale for this image. Although I didn't upload the image, I did have the talk page of Match Game watchlisted. If you had placed a notice on the talk page about the rationale problem, I could have provided a detailed and convincing rationale for an image which was quite useful in explaining the Match Game xx naming convention for the show.

I request that you restore the image so I can provide this rationale. In the future, a notice on the talk page of an article where an image is used would be appreciated, so editors can provide the required rationale. Such a notice may not be required by policy, but fair warning of an image removal to all editors interested in a particular article would be helpful and courteous. Thank you.

Deletion of page

I belive you deleted the page User:Benno briton and Jojo da best's page. Can you please un-delete the page because we shared a page. Now our pages redirect to a deleted page. If you can't undelete the article please send me a mail of its contents.

           Thank You.

My RfA

Where have I been incivil? On this talk page? I don't want to get into disagreements, but I don't think what I said here alone merited a "strong oppose" - I don't even think I was acting outwith civility at all here.--h i s _{r e s e a r c h} 18:07, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

"admins fail to listen" appears to qualify.   — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 22:10, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Animal feed

I'm going to restore an article you deleted after its proposed deletion expired; I think I can address the issue that lead to its proposed deletion. If you object, let's talk. ike9898 02:12, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Amir Abdul-Malik Ali

I noticed that you deleted the Amir Abdul-Malik Ali article. I didn't write the text and have no interest in it. But the text definitely comes from reliable sources that weren't added to the text. Nor was it possible to add any sources since the article was protected. I added a comment about this to Talk:Amir Abdul-Malik Ali and in WP:BLPN#Amir Abdul Malik, showing a few sources for some quotes in the article. So the article was not a BLP violation and shouldn't have been deleted for that reason. –panda 02:28, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Bye bye Maxim?

what a shame. does that mean he will stop raping wikipedia or does he have a new account now? Obrez 04:32, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Ryoung122

Hi Maxim, I dunno if you have noticed, but since you blocked Ryoung122 (talk · contribs) he has recruited at least one meatpuppet (StanPrimmer (talk · contribs)) and identified himself as the user of two anon IPs (see 131.96.70.143 (talk · contribs) and 131.96.70.164 (talk · contribs)). I see that he doesn't appear to have been autoblocked, so I was wondering if you could upgrade his block to an autoblock? Ta

BTW, I don't yet have the links, but I have been informed by someone who is on Young's mailing list that he is campaigning hard to recruit meatpuppets. This effect of this is visible at the current AfDs, and I intend to monitor it. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 14:20, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
