AfD nomination of Kir Kanos

I have nominated Kir Kanos, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Kir Kanos. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? --EEMIV (talk) 03:14, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Kirkanos.JPG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Kirkanos.JPG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Misplaced Pages under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:13, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Virgin Killer

Thanks for actioning the RFP on this article. However, the version now protected contains the altered version of the album cover. Whether this cover should be altered or not is currently being discussed in an RFC. Until consensus is reached, the version of the page from before this edit-war should be retained. Until 8th May, the cover was the original one. The most recent revert, before protection, with the cover before the controversy is http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=Virgin_Killer&oldid=211303267. As I understand policy, the image used should not change until a consensus is reached, or a decision made in another manner (e.g. legal action). Therefore, is it possible for you to restore the page to one showing the 'original' cover? Otherwise those trying to subvert the process of discussion by repeatedly changing the image used will have 'won. Thanks again, --  Chzz  ►  18:31, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Sorry. I apologise for reverting the image earlier. I understand fully why it's silly to get involved in 'revison wars'. At the time, I foolishly didn't understand that it had been changed back and forth so many times. As soon as I realised that the correct action would be a RFP, I found the correct place, and then saw that an RFP haad already been created by another user. I

then thanked him.

• Thank you for taking the time to explain your thoughts on my talk page. I will consider your viewpoint and do some reading up. I believe that, whilst a matter is under discussiong, locking the page in any amended form is unfair, and the only fair policy would be to leave the original until the dispute is resolved. I will try to verify this by studying policy.

--  Chzz  ►  19:14, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

• Second apology. Having read WP:PREFER I now see that the actions you took were totally correct according to current policy. I also see there is some debate over this policy;

http://en.wikipedia.org/Wikipedia_talk:Protection_policy#Protecting_the_current_version_rewards_revert_warriors

I'll put my comments in there.

I'll echo Chzz's thanks for stoping the dumb revert war. Jclemens (talk) 20:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem. Nufy8 (talk) 22:12, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

With the greatest of respect, and without wishing to 'involve' you in the debate - I quite understand an admin must retain absolute neutrality, however; I feel obliged to raise the point that, in this specific case, I feel the protected page should be amended to have the picture as it was before this whole debate began, for the following reasons;

• Whilst the various debates take place, over however many days, people who read about this will look on wikipedia and see that action has been taken. This suggests to the 'outside world' that wikipedia has not followed their own policies and procedures regarding decisions
• If the revert does not take place in the near future, then whenever protection is removed a user (such as myself) might quite legitimately revert the image order, because no concensus was reached to amend it. That action is likely to provoke a further unconstructive edit war. If the page is protected again, or if protection is extended for a longer period, this will just emphasise the effect described in my first point.

I hope I have presented myself clearly, and that you won't think I'm being obtuse over the issue. I am well aware of the debates going on elsewhere, but this specific point is separate from those. Apologies for taking your time over this, but I do think an important precedent exists.--  Chzz  ►  22:29, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Virgin Killer - anti-policy

On my talk page, you said, "I'd rather err on the side of caution unless it's something blatantly anti-policy."

I requested an editprotected, to revert the 'dreaded' cover to the top of the page. Aside from all other issues, this was a reasonable request, because consensus had already established.

An admin refused the request.

That is 'blatantly anti-policy'.

Please perform the requested edit.

Proposed deletion of D'Sparil

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article D'Sparil, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Warning?

As far as I know, I was using his website as a reference. I did not mean it to be promotional. 65.43.22.134 (talk) 02:09, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey, look at this from my point of view: an anonymous user with no edit history sneaks in a few links to a non-notable kid's website, and what do you know, that user happens to have the same ISP, be in the same basic IP range, and reside in the same location as the website's registrant. Add in the fact that there have been multiple instances of disruption related to this kid and his website on Misplaced Pages (and now that I look over the deletion log, Wikinews as well), and you may begin to understand why I doubt that assertion. Nufy8 (talk) 02:24, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

HELLO

Dear Nufy8 I'm a Italian boy, can I help to translate English texts in Italian texts? Write me!!!!!!!!!!!--Paperone94 (talk) 12:33, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

If you're talking about translating English articles into Italian for the Italian Misplaced Pages, then go for it. If you're looking for help with the translation, then I'm afraid I won't be too useful since I don't know Italian. Nufy8 (talk) 15:28, 22 June 2008 (UTC)

=I'm adding links

Is that ok with you, control freak 76.243.106.37 (talk) 18:59, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Please see Misplaced Pages's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks will lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Additionally, the edit I was referring to as unsourced was this one made by this IP address. If this is a shared IP, then someone else might have made the edit; in that case, consider creating an account and logging in so that there will be no more confusion. Nufy8 (talk) 19:23, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

if you stop behaving like a control freak, and then nobody will call you out on it 76.243.106.37 (talk) 14:50, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive comments.
If you continue to make personal attacks on other people, you will be blocked for disruption. Comment on content, not on other contributors or people. Nufy8 (talk) 15:42, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

How DARE you call me disruptive -- the only person being disruptive here is you. I never asked nor required your advice, and adding links to keywords in articles hardly requires your micro-management. You obviously have far too much time on your hands. Go bother someone else, instead of playing the role of wiki-bully. And if you dare cite this reply as being "disruptive".. I'll log in under my ID from another computer, and have your admin privileges suspended. Consider yourself warned. 76.243.106.37 (talk) 15:48, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

You've been temporarily blocked. Next time, actually read my comments before tossing threats and personal attacks around. I didn't warn you for adding links, I warned you for this edit that came from your IP address. Feel free to make constructive edits after the block expires, but if you continue to violate Misplaced Pages policy on civility, then you will be blocked again and for longer.
