Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:04, 6 March 2009 (UTC) re: CSD A3Yeah, it should have been redirected to the English article (that was me not joining the dots). Still, you can see why I didn't come to the conclusion that "Any articles that are not copied and pasted from another Wikipedia do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion" when I read the criterion for A3 on the policy page:
which seems to not differentiate between copy-paste moves and merely an article existing. Maybe the wording ought to be changed? - Jarry1250 (t, c) 22:01, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

RangersarecoolPardon me if I disagree but rangersarecool is a very smart 4th grader and would not make a account called rangerarecool1234. do you know who would? someone who wanted rangersarecool would. do you know who that is? davidthedograt. How do I know? im in his class. im also in david the dogman's class im also in foxcows, jeffhardys, and rangersarecool. if it wasnt for davidthedograt rangersarecool wouldn't be blocked. darknesswolf is another account used for cantributions, not vandalism! he was trying to get away from niv, who new what rangersarecools password was. (he found out while he was typing it in class) then he made darknesswolf. then a classmate comes and says ooooh lets make a account called rangerarecool1234 and create vandalism so they'l think im rangersarecool! oh and for good measure, he says he is rangersarecool on your talk page. hes not that dumb. hes in a gifted class, we all are. (exept sometimes I wonder about davidthedograt...) enyway hes a straght A student in gifted 4th grade and loves wikipedia. he always talks about it! sorry to disturb you, im just angry at the people who blocked him, and didnt unblock him.

Title blacklistHi IRP, I have declined to make the edits you requested at MediaWiki talk:Titleblacklist-forbidden-edit, for reasons which I explained there. If you still think those edits should be made, then simply place the {{editprotected}} template above your request, with the reasons you think I'm incorrect, and another admin will come along to evaluate it. In the future, if you plan on requesting edits to pages in the MediaWiki namespace, or other protected pages, then please just use the editprotected template. That way it is guaranteed that an admin will evaluate it; simply posting on one admin's talk page might be ineffective (sometimes I am offline for weeks at a time). Cheers, --Aervanath (talk) 06:18, 17 March 2009 (UTC) Declined speedy deletionsHi IRP, I just came across a couple of speedy deletion tags that you placed on IP talk pages, User talk:67.239.208.226 and User talk:65.185.170.172. These are not covered under the speedy deletion criteria, so if you would like to delete them, they need to go through WP:MFD. If you feel an IP needs to be blocked for vandalism or sockpuppetry, then please report it to WP:AIV or WP:SPI, not as a speedy candidate. Thanks,--Aervanath (talk) 05:06, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

You know, I actually tend to agree with the IP editor who cut a rather large chunk out of Hays Code. I had noticed that material a while back and had strong reservations myself, though I didn't act on it. I know it seems a bit like vandalism at first blush, but as I examined the deleted text I realized that the Hays Code actually was not even mentioned in the deleted sections. I'm planning on going to some source materials and build up this article when I have a chance. There are actually several books on the subject.Stetsonharry (talk) 14:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Mr.Z-man 00:45, 5 April 2009 (UTC) Regarding this revert, I inserted bold and colored text because a lot of editors miss the important facts and seem to treat some essays as policies or guidelines. One example includes Wikipedia:Don't template the regulars. You may or may not have noticed that many editors treat it as a policy. I added red bold text to draw the attention of those people and they will realize that they were incorrect. Let me know if you still disagree. -- IRP ☎ 02:18, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:Secure.pngA tag has been placed on File:Secure.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated. If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding VandalismYou have had your userpage vandalised 51 times? That's not good.

External link iconsHi IRP, if you want to change a large number of templates, then you probably should do more than hold a discussion on an obscure page. For starters, you could identify all the pages, which include {{search}}, {{Findsourcesnotice}}, {{Findsources3}}, {{Rescue}}, {{BLP unsourced}}, {{BLP probably unsourced}}, and {{prod-nn}}, but there are possibly many more. Then you could post on all the talk pages, not just saying 'it's been decided', but explaining why this is needed. Finally, after at least a week, if there is consensus to make the change, you could implement. PhilKnight (talk) 23:23, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

VandalismHi there, I wanted to notify you of vandalism happening on the Philadelphia page. Since I'm not an administrator, I can't do a lot about it, except revert things. I created the new lead image for the article and replaced the old one with it by a majority of votes (see the talk page). One or more users however keep reverting it to the old lead image. Despite several warnings they still refuse to take part in the discussion on the talk page. I'm willing to restore the old lead image only if a majority of users decides so through this discussion. So I'm asking you, to put a lock on the article or something similar. Thanks in advance, Massimo --Massimo Catarinella (talk) 14:40, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
