vandalism to your userpage

Hi, I noticed your comments on my talk page, and I just wanted to let you know that I have blocked this user as it was pretty clear that this account was only created to harass others. However please don't add the indefinitely blocked tag to user pages unless that user is already blocked as you did here. It isn't that big of deal now that I have blocked them, but it could easily be seen as confusing for other users. If you would like, I can semi-protect your userpage, however I'd rather not semi protect your talk page incase some genuine users would like to reach you. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 19:44, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunatly, no, based on the auoblocks, this is a sock of the "name the animal" denial of service vandal--205.188.116.71 16:36, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Taken care of and removed the tag. --VelairWight (my discussion) 01:49, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Protection

I've noticed you have the protection tag up there, but your page is not actually protected. Would you like it to be? (If you feel like removing this note, feel free). Mak (talk) 01:56, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

I would like only the user talk page to be temporarily protected for now, please. --VelairWight 03:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I've semi-protected your talk page for now. Let me know when you want it lifted (hopefully in not too long, since it's not great to have a protected talk page) Mak (talk) 04:01, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Done, sorry, I did't mean to have it protected for so long. Cheers, Mak (talk) 02:33, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Since you asked...

We (a group of administrators) decided that repeat vandals don't need to have their own identifying templates. All they can do is either attack the page addresses (pagemove), or the page contents (pageblank). There are also banned users who got into disputes and are trying to prove a point, but they aren't "vandals" in the same sense. DS 01:05, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Works fine with me. VelairWight 20:20, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Being mean

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have no "vendetta" against you at all. ed g2s • talk 11:36, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Username warnings

Thank you for your efforts to deal with vandalism on Misplaced Pages, including the problem of improper usernames. I agree with you that a certain editor "had a very unacceptable username indeed." FYI, that is why I just noted that I had blocked his account indefinitely, rather than use the general "username violation" template which politely encourages the user to change the name or to open a new account under a different name. I believe a separate template is being developed for these blatant cases where we do not want to encourage the holder of an obviously bad-faith name to return with more of the same. Hope this is of interest. Regards, Newyorkbrad 02:50, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome. VelairWight 03:04, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:KgjmlbSNES.png

Thanks for uploading Image:KgjmlbSNES.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Misplaced Pages:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 14:42, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello VelairWight! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring this article up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 11 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:

1. James Mouton - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
