Block question

Regarding your block of User talk:MR KennedyDX, could you throw a few diffs in there. I don't see the edits that warrented the indef block when I look at his editing history. Could you help me see it, so I can decline his unblock request? Thanks! --Jayron32 01:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I looked at both of those, but I am just not seeing the set of events that led up to it being an indef block. Some difs of the really egregious stuff would be helpful, because I just don't see it. I see a few debates on his own talk page, but I don't see anything I would call vandalism or gross incivility. I am not saying I agree with his position on any of this, but I don't see how a discussion on his own talk page could qualify for an indef, based on what is there now. --Jayron32 02:08, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Here are two instances where he refractored another user's talk page comments , and here is a disruptive edit where he basically performed a copy-and-paste job to my talk page with a warning that made no sense . And if you read this discussion, it's filled with his personal attacks and soapboxing. Artichoker 02:11, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Artichoker. That makes it much clearer. I will decline for now, but leave him instructions on what sort of behavior is expected if he wishes to be unblocked. --Jayron32 02:13, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Why did you remove my block request? The user's only edits have been vandalism and he should be blocked. Are you gonna block him? If not, I will report him again the next time he vandalizes. TJ Spyke 02:38, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Deleting a song sample

When you delete a song sample could you remove it from articles please?--Rockfang (talk) 03:20, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to bug you again

I've undid this edit of yours. The wording of {{di-no permission}} implies the image is sourced. The image is not. I've added {{di-no source}} instead.--Rockfang (talk) 05:27, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Saw pictures

Thanks for the heads up. Is there any particular reason why they need to be deleted? Also, why should all of them be deleted and not just one or two of the lesser important ones? GroundZ3R0 002 (talk) 06:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

deletion question about hd ez lock

hello, you deleted my article about hd EZ lock. I posted on the article's talk page (which has since been deleted) asking for someone to help me with the appropriate changes. I also spent a lot of time trying to make sure the article was neutral and cited expert outside sources to support that this is a valid issue and a legitimate product.

I notice there are tons of articles that are product specific (vudu, playstation, xbox, etc) and I'm not sure what more I can do to include this without coming across as an advertisement.

This is my first experience here, and it's been frustrating because it seems that people are quick to delete but not willing to provide any specific points, just mentioning wikepedia article numbers and terms. I asked several times for any help, suggestions, etc and received none.

I'm not sure what I can do, but I ask that you help me out and consider reinstating my article.

Thank you!

Please leave comments on my user page, thank you

thank you...

Hello Fastily,

Thank you for your reply regarding hd ez lock. I understand, but I was hoping for a little bit of more specific assistance :(

Well, I'm not sure how else I can describe the product...it seems anything less would be very vague and no one would understand what it does.

But, I guess I'll just chalk this up to a learning experience and walk away with only my time lost.

Thank you and take care...have a good weekend. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tatbes (talk • contribs) 22:26, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

I understand...thank you for the suggestion, I have asked for help and we'll see how it goes.--Tatbes (talk) 22:40, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

New Pioneer Food Co-op

Thank you for your reply, I'll try to rewrite it differently Matthewcsteele (talk) 19:02, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey Fastily, I know you don't do comparisons, but I'm sure you'll get a kick out of this one: Mountain_Equipment_Co-op

The Suburbs (web series)

(Deletion log); 04:03 . . Fastily (talk | contribs) deleted "The Suburbs (web series)" (G7: One author who has requested deletion or blanked the page)

Hi Fastily, I had been watching The Suburbs (web series), as an example of a pretty dubious article, but which strangely seemed to have good quality secondary sources. I though that it was not single authored, ie not G7-able. What was the nature of the request for deletion, and was it realyl a single authored article? --SmokeyJoe (talk) 04:39, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of my entry on LogMyTask

Fastily,

Please consider undeleting my entry on LogMyTask. I understand that post needs to be updated for being encyclopedic and I'll do so. The article is still in development mode. As I fell short of time I stopped at where it is & thought of updating it today. To my bewilderment it was deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Chiragpinjar (talk • contribs) 06:56, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

File:20061015-XR1200-PROTOTPYE55.JPG

Hi, just sayin' but I don't think this is such a good idea to transfer files that are pending deletion on Commons. If you do that, you might end up having a perfectly valid file here deleted on Commons due to other interpretation of the Image policy (and people unable to find it here). Please be more careful in the future ;) (well, that file would have been deleted here to due to its copyright status anyway). My rule for F8 is to check that there is no deletion discussion on Commons and that there are no foreseeable copyright problems before deleting. -- Luk 08:28, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Cheers! Always glad to see someone else tackling that backlog :P -- Luk 06:46, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Would you?

Can you delete my 2 uploaded images in http://en.wikipedia.org/File:CCleaner.png ? I didn't want them anymore. I'm not admin but you're. Tuanese 08:17, 25 August 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tuanese (talk • contribs)

Undated AfC submissions

I've recently started doing it myself, and I figure I'd spread the word. In the future, try and use {{tl|WPAFC|class=redirect|ts={{subst:CURRENTTIMESTAMP|reviewer=Fastily}} on the AfC submissions, like so. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 22:32, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Note: the tl| bit is not included. I don't know why it's adding it. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 22:34, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Cool. :) Without it, the submissions are dumped into the Category:Undated AfC submissions backlog. Currently, User:Earwig has a bot running through it, but always better to avoid the problem in the first place. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 23:01, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Hi, thanks for granting me rollback privileges. Have a great day (or night)! Tgv8925 (talk) 00:31, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

why did you delete information for "the big picture" magazine

You have information many publications listed on Misplaced Pages. Why would you delete the information on The Big Picture?

We are a national business-to-business publication covering the wide-format graphics market. The information I posted was objective and informative and was being added to as I could get to it.

Please explain.

thank you, Greg Sharpless Editor/Associate Publisher gregory.sharpless@stmediagroup.com

WP:AFC/R backlog

You don't seem to be active now, but you may come around before it's all; it's looking like it will take a while. Any chance you could help out a bit when you're around? If so, just start at the bottom, and move (as I'll be at the top, moving down). Thanks. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 17:45, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Not a problem, and thank you for helping out. If you're active on IRC, you should come hang out in #wikipedia-en-afc ; that's where most of the griping over the backlog was. :P As for that last bit, feel free to go at it; I'm working on other things, so AFC/R is all yours. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 22:49, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Yep, I've been listening to talk about the script in IRC for a little while. I hope it works out nicely; it could make things much faster, especially in times of high requests like today and yesterday. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 02:57, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

The tool is complete (or in a very early beta-like state). I've tried it on one request, and it worked perfectly for declining the redirect. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 03:09, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
