A tag has been placed on Radiator surround, by Carmen56 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Radiator surround is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. house demolitionIs it just me, or is this whole thing crazy? do these people udnerstand what they're getting themselves into? Do they realize that the people mentioning Israeli demolitions of Israeli houses will continualy want to draw equivalencies between the two?

Your edit in Kart racingLiftarn, you have reposted your picture taken in a Swedish museum in Kart racing without any argumentation. As I said before when I reverted it, I believe your note has its place on the Swedish Karting article, or maybe you want to create a new page on the history of karting in Sweden. If we start to explain how karting started in France, Germany, India or Japan, this article is going to be extremely boring and out of place. It is already made mention of the 50th anniversary - with FIA reference - as well as the introduction of karting (which started in the US) in Europe with reference also. This is enough of history for this topic as it is more interesting to know what the sport is about today IMO. I will revert your edit again and suggest that you open a discussion here if you feel that your point is greatly improving this article anyway. - Wikigi | talk to me | 19:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Your recent editCould you please explain this edit [5]. Last I checked this was not free software and its shareware. I'm not even the original author of the screenshot. I don't believe this was a valid move to commons.--Crossmr 03:04, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
Fair use rationale for Image:2cat3d_3.pngThanks for uploading or contributing to Image:2cat3d_3.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use. Suggestions on how to do so can be found here. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. ~ Wikihermit 18:22, 7 September 2007 (UTC) Image:Z06-Blk-7.jpgYou need to assume good faith here my friend.

Image:Mad-sci.jpg.Truth is, I frankly don't know where this image came from anymore. It was more than five years ago since I found it, and all I remember is that it was from some serial or another that was being freely distributed by a number of sources. No one fussed about that sort of thing in 2003. I would note, though, that the image has been adopted by dozens of users, and apparently made it into a popular userbox. Its deletion would break all of those. Collateral damage is not a consideration, I guess. I suspect that a link to the made-for-Wikipedia image that now resides (and replaced this old one) on the mad scientist page might be an adequate substitute for most of these uses, but it would require that each user page that has it be edited. Is there a bot for this? - Smerdis of Tlön 18:51, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Regarding edits to MG MidgetThank you for contributing to Wikipedia, Liftarn! However, your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove spam from Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert a good link, please accept my creator's apologies, but note that the link you added, matching rule groups\.msn\.com, is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia.

"Asatru is not a neopagan religion as such"could you avoid using Wikipedia as a soapbox for your private idiosyncratic opinions?

I urge you again to behave. You have been given ample time to establish encyclopedicity. You have not delivered. The merger has found support from Huntster (talk · contribs) and Zara1709 (talk · contribs). no information was removed in the merge. Your idiosyncratic position has consistently failed to get any support from other editors. You have to recognize that as it stands, you have no case. If you can present an encyclopedic discussion, or find support from editors in good standing the case would lie different. As long as you cannot do that, please avoid wasting any more of my time. dab (𒁳) 08:59, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
you are sadly confirming my expectations by acting as immaturely as ever. I haven't the least personal stake in this, and I am utterly un-interested in you as a person. this is about WP:ENC. Stop your trolling, and I will likely forget your existence after 20 minutes. dab (𒁳) 11:08, 4 October 2007 (UTC) Your edits to Columbia UniversityHi, just two comments. (1) The source you re-added doesn't seem to have anything to do with the incident it is listed with. The article you sourced is about Ahmadinejad's recent visit to the university, whereas the section you added it in is about the 1933 visit of the German ambassador. (2) I added the {{who?}} tag after the quote Luther's speech stressed Hitler's "peaceful intentions" because you did not cite the source of the quote "peaceful intentions". Thanks!

I'm posting this note both on your page and dab's. Please stop the revert war straight away. I suspect each of you is using this article to get at the other, and the article and the encyclopaedia are suffering because of it.

Electronic stalkingMy goodness, Mr. Liftarn, haven't you got anything better to do with your valuable time that stalk me electronically?

Some interesting developments here. Rebecca unblocked me with the comment "I don't see this as being justified. He's a very long-term user in an edit dispute where the warring parties have behaved just as badly, if not worse.". Not really needed as the block would have expired anyway, but then Ronnotel slapped a new 48 hour block for the same 3RR. Now that was uncalled for. User:Ugen64 slapped on a one week block. It looks like I'm in the focus of a block war. // Liftarn
Thanks so much for starting this thread! Excellent idea! I was wondering, though, why is it not located at the bottom of the page?

In case you didn't notice, the only thing Vision Thing did on 11 October 2007 was comment in Talk:Nobel Prize or follow you around and revert your edits. [10] I believe that would be considered wikistalking. A warning on his talk page may be called for. –panda 16:52, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
Assuming good faithWP:AGF is policy, not just a polite note. I don't think getting yourself blocked for incivility is a particularly good way of winning this argument. For what it's worth, I'm in broad agreement about your version of the title, but it's evident that a lot of people still disagree, and they're not going to be persuaded by allegations of personal malice. Please try to establish current consensus rather than turning this into an edit war. Chris Cunningham 10:17, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

It seems to imply that you think the image is inappropriate for some reason, i.e. being indiscriminately included. Do you think that Tinfoil Hat Linux does not deserve an image of its logo on its page? Or is it simply that you think that the image itself belongs to be hosted on the Commons site rather than on Wikipedia itself? I am not experienced in these political matters, so I don't know what the rule is with where images of various licensing belong. Ryan Reich 16:50, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

You didn't assume good faith and inferred I was being dishonest. I approached Pacific Aerospace Corporation in the middle of 2005 seeking a Creso pic. They obliged and released the image PD. That's basically what the image file has said since then. If you continue to doubt what I say, in essence call me a liar, then expect a visit to RfC. Moriori 23:15, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement.

You replaced it with "The Volvo 745 had some severe problems that could cause sever injuries in a frontal colission.[14]" Apart from the spelling mistakes, that too is an unsupportable conclusion from ref 14 (the Vanagon - Volvo 745 crash test).

Folkrace vs Bangers rodeoHave you got Bangers rodeos or so-called demolition derbys in Sweden? It is not the intention of Folkrace that the last man driving is the winner, after he has crashed all other competitors out of the race. Although Folkrace is driven with mostly terrible looking cars it is IMO some kind of "Rallycross for the poor" and has nothing to do with deliberately forcing other drivers to retire. Otherwise it would definetely not be regognised by the SBF. AFAIK Banger races are in no European country recognised by any ASN. RX-Guru (talk) 15:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
In case you didn't know why things have calmed down lately at Carlos Latuff. I specifically mentioned the page as problematic. It's a great resolution and there should be a lot fewer problems with this and other relevant pages in the future. Carol Moore 05:23, 19 January 2008 (UTC)CarolMooreDC talk
Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Valhalla.pngThanks for uploading Image:Valhalla.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 Wikipedia: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 Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia 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) 12:39, 21 January 2008 (UTC) Pallywood de-coatrackedI made some edits to Pallywood and removed your coatrack tag - hopefully the issue(s) that you flagged have now been resolved.

If you believe the image to be acceptable for fair use according to Wikipedia policy, please provide a rationale explaining as much, in accordance with the fair use rationale guideline, on the image description page. Some examples can be found at Wikipedia:Use rationale examples.

Project FMF (talk) 02:00, 20 February 2008 (UTC) Another editor has added the Volvo T6I noticed that you reverted my edit on the Volvo T6 page, if the T6 is capable of 205mph, then of course I have no problem with the article stating that, however it seems unlikely for an open wheeled car with 300bhp to be able of hitting 205mph, I did look around for some confirmation of the T6's top speed, but couldnt find anything. Where did you get that figure from? A reliable source would be nice? Sennen goroshi (talk) 17:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

I would first like to apologise on behalf of the Mediation Committee for the delay in this case being dealt with, which is due to a shortage of available mediators. I have expressed interest in taking this case to help with the backlog and to assess my nomination to join the committee. As i am not currently a member it is common practice to for the involved parties to consent to mediation of an RfM from a non-committee member. To give your consent for me to act as mediator for this case please sign as you have for the acceptance of the case on the case page. I look forward to working with you and finding a solution to the dispute. Seddon69 (talk) 16:52, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 08:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC) New Antisemitism MediationI think thats its time we got moving. A couple of the points have been raised before and felt they were the foundations to the dispute:
A point i would like to raise is that at some point a lead image might need to be found if this article got to FA. The image in question is not free and couldn't be put on the main page with this article as todays FA. Although not an immediate point a long term solution might wish to be found so that this article could feature on the main page with a viable alternative. Does anyone have access to Lexis Nexis? It might help as a search on the network could uncover something not readily available on the internet. Reliable sources that use the image would be helpful. Do you reckon that there would anyway of finding third party images that might possibly contain the poster/placard? Also i would be grateful if images of other placards at that rally could be found to find whether this was a small minority at this rally or perhaps a larger group. Whilst that is being done i wanted to find out on what the consensus view is on what New Antisemitism is? I have read the article and the previous discussion and attempted to get a proper understanding but i wanted to ensure that this was current.
Following discussion at the mediation talk page, i would like to bring up a suggestion that until the end of the mediation to remove both images from the article. There is currently no real consensus on the images so in the interests of fairness it seems best to simply have no images. If you have any suggestions or comments then please come to the mediation talk page to be discussed. The discussion will be open for around 5 days if there are no problems. But the discussion will go on if there is ongoing discussion. ŠξÞÞøΛ talk 00:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC) Image copyright problem with Image:Catabyss.pngThanks for uploading Image:Catabyss.png. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

External links for Teardrop trailerYou continue to spam the Teardrop Trailer page with an external link to a link farm. The community of editors clearly disagrees with your edits. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikiwerks (talk • contribs)
Liftarn, hi, I noticed that you reverted an edit at this article.[14] Please be aware that the article is currently under ArbCom restrictions, with specific Conditions for editing, one of which is "no reverts except for obvious vandalism". If you disagree with an edit, you are welcome to improve it, change it, re-word the paragraph, add a source, move text somewhere else, etc. But no reverts please. I know that this may sound a bit "un-wiki", but this article has been in dispute for a long time, and these editing conditions seem to be being successful at helping to restore stability, so I'd like to keep them in place for awhile longer.
