Dear Sandstein,

Hello! I noticed that you deleted the article "list of films featuring pugs". Would you be able to give me a copy of the deleted article so I can print it off for my wife. If you can put it in my userspace that would be great. Maybe one day the world will be ready for a list of films featuring pugs, but in the meantime, me and my wife would love to track down them all and see if we can spot the little devils! Apparenly there is a pug in King Kong!. All the best, Hands of gorse, heart of steel (talk) 23:15, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

1. http://www.pugalug.com/movies2.html

Sorry, but properly userfying an article involves some work which I will not undertake for an article that has no reasonable chance to be made suitable for inclusion. There are other admins who might, though. Please use WP:UND.  Sandstein  18:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

It's ok Sandy - I've managed to make a location! User:Hands of gorse, heart of steel/the pug place sounds like the best bet. If you just pop the pug movie list over the top, I'd be most gratified. A man's got to keep his pug-crazed wife happy, after all! Hands of gorse, heart of steel (talk) 22:41, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

DYK for Swiss Alpine Museum

On December 8, 2009, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Swiss Alpine Museum, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

"Age of majority" question on RfAs

Hi. I've noted that you have begun asking RfA candidates whether they have attained the age of majority in their jurisdictions. As you are probably aware, there have been extensive discussions in the past concerning the helpfulness and appropriateness of this type of question. I'd be interested in know what type of responses you are looking for and what you feel is the relevance of the question. (If you have discussed this in the past, please feel free to just point me in that direction.) Thanks and regards, Newyorkbrad (talk) 17:00, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

I remember at least some of these discussions, but not when and where they took place. I ask this question because I believe (as I wrote in these discussions) that most minors are unsuited to adminship because of the possible real-world impact of their actions (on themselves, the Foundation or others), and because a small proportion of possible administrative actions requires a level of maturity and judgment not generally associated with minors. I normally oppose candidates who identify as minors or decline to answer the question, unless they somehow demonstrate exceptional maturity (such as verifiably and successfully holding a position of adult-level responsibility in real life).  Sandstein  18:24, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

User:TheChiliReano

Hi! I had originally requested AIV on this user due to his/her copy-and-pasting into Glenn Allison. The "in-your-own-words" text that the user provided in response to your unblock decline was copy-and-pasted from a forum posting here . I just noticed, however, that there is no copyright claim on that forum (not on the topic page, not on the home page). Could that be presumed to be public domain, or do we air on the side of assuming any published work is copyrighted unless declared otherwise? Thanks, I'm just starting to get into copyright issues. --SquidSK 20:06, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

The latter, as all works are copyrighted upon creation by law, unless and until copyright is expressly waived.  Sandstein  20:11, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Oops! Thanks for fixing that. :)   JJ (talk) 22:10, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

University of Atlanta

Well you said if we need help just ask! I am looking for some outside input of the University of Atlanta page. I realy think the article on the University of Atlanta needs to be split up into two paages one for barrington and one for U of A but I would like some input, I saw you on misto12 talkpage and thought I would run it by you. Some of us are trying to do some edits on the page and we seem to get blocked for it, even when we come into the talk page with facts. The owner of University of Atlanta owns four other schools as well as the University of Atlanta,, he owned three before opening U of A and buying Barringtion, my point or idea is that we are not listing the other schools he owns on the page just the one bad one he bought( was bad when he bought it). Sorry if this makes no sense its very late! lol --Super (talk) 08:54, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
