Antiochus the Great (talk) 13:20, 22 April 2013 (UTC) Hakan Erbaslar at ANHi Nick. For the sake of peace now that you've dug out some references for them, I'm going to ignore his battleground mentality and his refactoring of my comment. De728631 (talk) 16:22, 22 April 2013 (UTC)
Hakan, againHakan has once again deleted the second table from List of countries by military expenditure now claiming it is your decision to remove the second table (obviously not true). I don't know why he feels the various discussion pages are a place to do battle rather than communicate in a productive manner and to be honest I am not too keen to engage in any sort of discussion with him. He has a very contentious attitude and myself and other editors have already tried to reason with him. As other editors also feel the same as I, it cannot be all my fault can it? At the moment I am currently active on various other articles and article talk pages and I don't really have time to update the second table as per the updated SIPRI citation you provided, but I will get around to it soon. Thus far, Hakan has clearly shown he has no interest in updating the second table but rather he just wants it deleted without consensus.Antiochus the Great (talk) 19:48, 23 April 2013 (UTC)
Roger Windley's scrapyardHi Nick. A useful update at the Pan Am Flight 103 article. But are we now in effect saying that the Daily Mail story was false? Or is it just that the acrapyard storage is no longer considered notable? Both of those possibilities seem a little unlikely to me. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 11:21, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for May 2Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Tayside House, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Refurbishment (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver).

In response to Rak-Tai's accusationsI wrote the following on Rak-Tai's talk page a few days ago after he had reposted his rant against me for the umpteenth time:
Rak-Tai also accuses me of "enlisting fellow cronies" to harass him. I assume he is referring to the people who were involved in the AfD discussion concerning the Worldwide Faith Missions. I can't prove this but I have never met or contacted these people prior to the AfD discussion other than to inform them (because they were involved in another AfD discussion on an article that Rak-Tai had written) of this new AfD. I contacted all parties involved, also those who voted "keep" for the Johannes Maas article. Strangely enough though, in the AfD's concerning Rak-Tai's articles, new users and IP-users, who have never edited before or thereafter, suddenly crop up in support of Rak-Tai's articles....

Need helpHi, I am editor on the duchess of Cornwall's page and recently got into the edit war with another editor, you also posted on the articles talk page on the incident, anyways the other editor just recently deleted half of the article's contribution which I and others editors made, basically the editor is saying all those information was copyrighted, I thinks its best if a third party intervenes, and I am wondering if you could so to solve this out [2] this is what the editor deleted (Monkelese (talk) 21:13, 8 June 2013 (UTC)) Hi Nick, can you please add protection template on that page? -sarvajna (talk) 19:09, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

Deleted article talk page left live?I'm referring to the the Montagu article. Talk pages go away when articles are deleted/redirected. See no reason for an exception in this case, particularly given how the talk page is being used at the moment.Dan Murphy (talk) 20:32, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Before the ANI discussion becomes overheated, I'm going to suggest that you reverse your deletion of the article. You made a clear and critical error in your close. As one of the news articles cited in the discussion [3] pointed out. the subject was a member of the House of Lords as a result of the title he held prior to his (supposed) accession to the dukedom. This article is an AP piece (out of Canada) (see [4]) and clearly qualifies as a reliable source. As both DGG and I pointed out, this demonstrates notability as a member of a national legislature, and your close recognizes that standard (but erroneously presumed that his membership hinged on the dukeship rather than his prior title). Since no one disputed either the fact of his prior title nor his membership thereby in the House of Lords, the article should have been kept. All the huggermugger over his status as Duke of Manchester was irrelevant, and obscured what should have been the determining issue. Any content issues could have been resolved by routine editing processes. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz (talk) 21:57, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
Just a quick note - it's midnight here. I'm more than happy to continue this discussion tomorrow, but if any administrator wishes to reverse the deletion because the feel notability has been established (especially if it becomes clear Alexander Montagu has sat in the House of Lords or has had some sort of legislative role in the UK), please feel free, just let me know and let me have a source, this whole thing has rather piqued my interest somewhat. Nick (talk) 23:01, 30 June 2013 (UTC) Hi, I noticed that shortly before you closed this Afd, the page in question was moved to Alexander Montagu. So that page was deleted and a new page Alexander Montagu, 13th Duke of Manchester was created as a redirect. This had the effect of deleting the page history. It seems entirely possible that this person may become notable in the future, especially considering his involvement in financial services and his jail time for fraud. As you said in the Afd, the keep/delete debate was fairly evenly balanced. So can you restore the old page history to Alexander Montagu, 13th Duke of Manchester in accordance with WP:PRESERVE ? Thanks, Dingo1729 (talk) 23:16, 23 July 2013 (UTC)
Arbcom caseI cited your statement about IRC canvassing at the current ArbCom case (request for arbitration). Unfortunately, a clerk who already has participated in the case as a community member hid it.

I would like to request that the page protection be removed to facilitate changes to the page that are not under dispute. It is likely that the old disputes might flare up once again once the page is unprotected, therefore I would like to propose a one revert restriction (1RR) for all users be enforced for an indefinite period of time. Additionally, we have consensus on replacing the present infobox image with a free licensed image available on the subject's Flickr account. Would you be so kind as to make the change? — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 05:24, 11 July 2013 (UTC) Thank you, Nick. It is possible that the page may require semi-protection, in the event of which, I will seek your counsel. — Nearly Headless Nick {c} 07:48, 12 July 2013 (UTC) Regarding deletion of page PJ NormanHi Nick, We see that you've deleted the page for one of our artists, PJ Norman citing: (A7: No explanation of significance (real person/animal/organization/web content/organized event)) We have to dispute this, Norman is a real person with documented proofs of his contributions in the fields of music, photography and literature. If you feel the page did not fully explain the significance of Norman's work we would be happy to add to it along with any suggestions you might have. Please kindly reinstate the page. Many thanks. 100mrecords (talk) 20:12, 11 July 2013 (UTC)

Notice
Phil MickelsonI saw you made the page locked down totally and reverted edits that had Mickelson winning the BO already. Fine, except you also inadvertently undid this edit of mine[6]. As I noted on this person's talk page[7], Mickelson was eliminated with birdie not par at the 2000 Byron Nelson. Also by locking down the article, you're keeping a legit golf editor(me) from doing the necessary edits when the Mickelson win is official....William 16:36, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Article Feedback Tool updateHey Nick. I'm contacting you because you're involved in the Article Feedback Tool in some way, either as a previous newsletter recipient or as an active user of the system. As you might have heard, a user recently anonymously disabled the feedback tool on 2,000 pages. We were unable to track or prevent this due to the lack of logging feature in AFT5. We're deeply sorry for this, as we know that quite a few users found the software very useful, and were using it on their articles. We've now re-released the software, with the addition of a logging feature and restrictions on the ability to disable. Obviously, we're not going to automatically re-enable it on each article—we don't want to create a situation where it was enabled by users who have now moved on, and feedback would sit there unattended—but if you're interested in enabling it for your articles, it's pretty simple to do. Just go to the article you want to enable it on, click the "request feedback" link in the toolbox in the sidebar, and AFT5 will be enabled for that article. Again, we're very sorry about this issue; hopefully it'll be smooth sailing after this :). If you have any questions, just drop them at the talkpage. Thanks!

_____________________________
Yatrides answeringHello Nick, My page about my life of June 06th, 2013 was the result of one labor of 2 years of not professional discussions. I simply claims that can be handed online my biography of 6 June 2013 supplemented irrefutable strong references, scanned, easily visible to the moderators no longer intervene on my life. Their behavior is detrimental to small Collectors whose heritage is made of pictorial elements of my work, but also important Private Collections which can not be undervalued[8]. On 20 September 2013, I have provided all the information, including numerous strong references[9][10][11], more than eighty which prove that my biography of June 6, 2013 was strictly just and unjust it was to change at 14:30 pm. For it is not attempted again to blur the main subject, I demanded that I be formally confirmed that the content of my message of September 20 has been read. This message emphasized the correctness of my formal request to return my biography online from 06 June 2013 (37.594 bytes) before its amendment at 14:30 pm, but comforted by the references scanned. Among these numerous references are several dictionaries,[12][13][14] [15][16] very concise style of which is however more informed about my long life of 82 years, more informed than my Wiki bibliographic page of June 06th, 2013. Although I am not litigious and do not want to be, after 110 days of misunderstanding (June 6 to September 24), this situation really calls for a quick goal.

When placing a Commons image on the main page, please remember to first upload it to the English Wikipedia and tag it with the {{uploaded from Commons}} template. Otherwise, it will not be protected until KrinkleBot detects the transclusion and updates Commons:Auto-protected files/wikipedia/en accordingly. (In this instance, File:Sebastian Vettel 2012 Bahrain GP.jpg remained unprotected for more than five hours, during which it was subject to replacement by a vandal.)
I guess it's easier to automatically protect images used on other wikis since Extension:GlobalUsage was installed in 2009 than it was in 2007 when I wrote cascading protection in the first place. I think you may need to poke somebody from the security team; say, Chris Steipp. Before it's implemented, though, there should be some consideration of what sort of solution you'd like — it's all very well for Commons to protect any images used on the en-wp main page (though I don't know if even that would fly), but imagine scaling that up to lots of other wikis. It seems like Commons wouldn't be too happy if they couldn't edit an image just because it's used on the main page of some tiny Wikipedia. Maybe there's a better way, for example, being able to specify a specific revision of an image to show? Lots of potential software solutions here, and I suspect you'd probably want to investigate options and find consensus before committing to one solution. — Andrew Garrett • talk 07:58, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
I'm not sure. I'd actually say that making a copy of the image is less likely than referring to a specific version, if I'm honest. It wouldn't necessarily mean making work for administrators, though – the version of the image could be determined automatically on-save or by reading the revision time of the page. It could then be updated when the page is null-edited. — Andrew Garrett • talk 01:16, 5 November 2013 (UTC)

Spread the cheer by adding {{subst:Xmas2}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Hey I noticed that you recently moved the WWE Championship article to WWE World Heavyweight Championship, with your reasoning being "per consensus on Talk page" when there was no discussion on the talk page. I do have the article tagged to be potentially moved back to WWE Championship, with a discussion on a possible move on the talk page, since I don't see WWE referring to their main title with the longer name long-term and the move was only done a week after the two titles were unified.

I've checked their talk page history and do not see their having been warned of the applicable Arbcom sanctions (the first post there was a series of questions that they reacted badly to; I wish there had at least been a welcome template first) and I consider it to be possible that they merely have an expert interest in the field of the discussion to which their edits were made, and/or that their expertise in Wikipedia comes from either being a quick study (they're right, some of us are) or an editor exercising the right to a Clean Start. They have been advised to e-mail Arbcom and that avenue is of course still open, but they might have privacy concerns ... and in any case I see that Secret himself/herself was inclined toward revisiting the situation, and I can see several possibilities even if we think of it as a WP:ROPE situation. I suspect what has happened is they've dropped through the cracks because of the holidays (and attendant angst) and the coincidence of Secret's retirement from adminship. I may be being sadly naïve, and I do appreciate the stress of these seemingly insoluble problems of duelling nationalist interests, but I don't see leaving this editor blocked as clearly benefitting the encyclopedia; there's a chance we're depriving ourselves of someone useful who just started out in a strife-torn area. Perhaps one could ask them where else they would like to edit, and go from there. However, their unblock request was declined, and Arbcom sanctions are in the picture - and I may indeed be being very naïve. So as one of Secret's two designated go-to fellow admins, could I ask you to have a look? Yngvadottir (talk) 21:59, 2 January 2014 (UTC)
AFC submission templateHello there. I saw that you edited Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Jaro Institute of Technology, Management and Research here. As a FYI, That template is supposed to be substituted. When you substitute it it pulls in the revision timestamp and the revision user so that there id a definite submission date to when the submission was requested. If there is no submission date the submission will end up in Category:AfC pending submissions without an age which is intended to be the very last cateogry checked in a pending submissions sweep. The template really should look like this when properly substituted as it adds the ts and u parameters. The TS parameter is important as it allows us to "age" the pending submission. The U parameter is important because it determines who the acceptance or decline notice goes to. Thanks for your time.Hasteur (talk) 03:36, 11 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for your interest in Freedom of speech, — Cirt (talk) 02:54, 12 January 2014 (UTC) User:DriftchambersHi, idk if it acceptable to just message you, considering i'm currently blocked (really i should maybe continue to pursue my own unblocking through the appropriate channels only), but on the issue of my having no access to the User:Driftchambers account....just a couple of things....firstly to clarify if you don't know, I sent a change password request to an email address i knew i had access to, to find i then had no access to this gmail account, but i don't know why this is, which i understand isn't very reassuring, but just is the situation. I hadn't used the gmail account for a while, i just don't understand currently why i have no access. Which leads me to the question, do you know if it is possible to return the password to the original (prior to the requested change being sent, obviously)? because i think i know the original, (but hey i just found i didn't know the gmail password, so who knows if i won't just find frustration my answer somehow a second time, but hopefully i won't / wouldn't)..Lastly, i'm not sure about this question, but since i have no access currently to the account, is there any question to the legitimacy of this individual (being myself) being the actual same person who was using the Driftchambers account prior to blocking. If there is, then i remember putting into my homepage some desription of myself, as a security, should i ever have become seperated from the account, and this kind of doubt should arise. Currently i haven't checked to see if the description is enough to prove i'm the same person.But if you feel it's necessary i'll have to trawl through the old edits to find it/ them.

Block?Hi Nick. I'm guessing that you had good reason to block 50.162.86.254 - presumably a self-evident sock of somebody - but you haven't left a talkpage message or given a reason in the block log. As it stands, it looks as though the only reason for the block is his one silly edit to WT:RIGHT, which wouldn't be enough in and of itself to warrant a 72 hour lockdown of the IP. Any chance you could elucidate on the reason for blocking, so that I can deal with his unblock appeal? Thanks, Yunshui 雲水 14:44, 21 January 2014 (UTC)

re: Mass PROD of articlesI don't think there is any reason to treat this editor with kid gloves, he has been active for years, had some of his work subject to various deletion processes before, and hence WP:BITE does not apply. Further, considering that my only prior interaction with him has been a prod, which he reverted without bothering to reply even with an edit summary, I am not inclined to go out of my way here. You and others are of course entitled to deprodding, even if it wastes two hours of my work and costs us at least one DYK (I was just about to write one, now I have to compile a lenghty AFD instead) and is further going to require others to review what I believe is a series of clear violations of WP:N; still - I am not holding it against you, perhaps I am in the wrong here, and I do appreciate your message on my talk page. We will discuss this at an AFD at which I will certainly ping you so you can present your side there. PS. That said, upon further review of your edits, I am somewhat disappointed that while removing the prod, as well as the notability template, you didn't bother to explain your rationale, neither on article's talk page or even in the edit summary: [18] and others. I'll kindly ask you to stop deprodding the article in such an unconstructive fashion, please go back and provide on the talk pages of the articles you deprodded an argument for why they are notable first.

Adoption (Copied from my talk page)@Nick: Hello Nick, after responding to this long list of complaints regarding my AfC reviews on my talk page, it's perfect timing for your message to be the last one on my talk page. I will stop reviewing new AfC submission for the time being, but I will be "fixing" or trying to address the old ones I have made. Yes, I think I did review a little too fast, as I was trying to clear the backlog. Although speed has value, I see how the quality of my reviews has declined a little while speed has increased. I will try to visit the IRC channel, definitely. I just wanted to address one more thing: is adoption with you a possibility? I realize that some administrators are very busy and do not have the time, but I would like to offer myself as a mentee if you are willing to be the mentor.

The Banner's violation of unblocking conditionThe Banner has been troubling editors on Ireland project till he got blocked twice and then conditionally unblocked. Since then his participation on UE Boom was one-directional and simply consisted of contradiction to any changes that I would propose and creation of [| hot air] that was noted by unrelated editor. His participation on the talk page of UE Boom was lacking AGF in my opinion and even without entering into this, his PA has been [| noted].

Mendaliv's comments on WP:ANII'm not sure I should reply to Mendaliv on WP:ANI considering what Dennis Brown has said. But I would like to clarify. 1) WP:IRC. I haven't used WP:IRC in "extensive" manner, not that I think it would be bad if I would. I have used IRC about 8-10 times in the last few months. From all of this, The Banner was mentioned only once in relation to his posts on the article's talk page. I asked if something could be done about him using the talk page of the article inappropriately. Sam took a look at the talk page and posted a message advising The Banner to stop personal attacks. 2) Infobox. When I was developing the article I found that there is no suitable Infobox and went to the WP:IRC to ask for an advise. I was advised by you (if I'm not mistaken) that I can use any suitable Infobox. After that Samwalton helped me to correct some formatting issues on the infobox [21]. 3) I think it is distressing that Mendaliv hasn't introduced himself as an involved editor in ANI (who is in a content dispute with me). And now, as he said: "about a freaking wireless speaker" I'm not sure how to interpret it. Is he a good-willed editor whose interest is to improve the quality of the article? That comes along with his posts on the talk page: "Oh for the love of Pete, would you stop replying to comments all over creation?"; "I'm not a man that likes to use a five-dollar word needlessly."; "What really, really pisses me off.." [22], [23]. I'm not sure if such posts are being appropriate on the article's talk page and if they are not decreasing the quality of the discussion. Dmatteng (talk) 07:15, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Copyvio and promotion at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Trinity ArmyHey, I was wondering if you'd reconsider returning Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Trinity Army to the mainspace and just go ahead and delete it again. It has three problems with it: first, part of it is copyvio from here. Secondly, it's fairly promotional in tone and at the very least, reads like it is the group's personal webpage. Finally and most importantly, I can't really see where the group will ever pass notability guidelines as a whole, so restoring it won't really do anything except for give the user (whom I've blocked for their username) false hope that the group will eventually have an article. At the very most it could be included in the main article for the college, but I don't think it'll ever really pass GNG for organizations. There just isn't anything out there that isn't primary or trivial in scope and the one source I found above appears to be a press release that the Sunday Times reprinted.

Request to UndeleteHi Nick. I was reading in The Register, a UK based IT site, about a new switch Facebook is building. Referenced in the article: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/18/facebook_open_switch/ was a company, Pluribus Networks. When I came to WIkipedia looking for more, I got this page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluribus_Networks saying the entry had been deleted with undelete being blocked. The company has been written about in the US as well http://www.networkworld.com/article/2165116/lan-wan/move-over-sdn--startup-looking-to-go-where-only-cisco--vmware-tread.html and entries for the guys who started the company that reference the company are on WIkipedia as well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chih-Kong_Ken_Yang https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Drost Considering that the company demonstrably exists and is influencing the likes of Facebook with regard to data center switch design, does it not make sense that they have at least a minor entry similar to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cumulus_Networks or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutanix?

An AFD typically runs for about seven days, this one wasn't even allowed to run 24 hours. That's a clear breach of policy. You cannot expect every Wikipedia user to be logged in and contributing 24 hours every single day. That's why the seven day running time is there in the first place. Acting on AFD's this way simply prevents the wider community to became aware and give their opinion. If you read Talk:2016_Formula_One_season you'll clearly see that there were users questioning the creation of the article. They simply were not given the time to respond in the AFD.

File:Tom Carstairs In Concert.jpgGiven the possibility of timed camera shutters and the consequent possibility of photographing oneself, this is clearly not a blatant copyright infringement, so a DRV will be filed should you leave the closure as "delete".

Nyttend (talk) 19:53, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
I came here to say that I'm a little confused by your close. Mainly what confuses me is the part where you state it is standard procedure to delete the image "in cases such as this". My long term understanding is whenever there is a question about copyright permission, the standard procedure is to take to WP:FFD, WP:PUF or tag as {{di-no permission}}. I'd like to know where you got this idea that deleting an image in this situation instead of having discussion is "standard procedure." While I think you were trying to handle a situation quickly, I think your decision to close was made to hastily and this has caused, and will cause unnecessary confusion. Now I see that you've "moved" the discussion to PUF but your close still stands at FFD. At this point, I would recommend that you amend your close to state that you've re-opened discussion at PUF and possibly invite the editors who participated to also participate in the second discussion. It would also be wise to include a link to the prematurely closed FFD discussion in the new discussion as there is relevant comments. Maybe next time we shouldn't get in such a rush. It would've been perfectly find to let the discussion play out. Cheers, TLSuda (talk) 22:26, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
