Cluelessi made the still trill christian page and it was deleted because of no notirary what exactly does that mean what do i need to do to have it not be deleted
templateI am more then happy to remove it, if you ask obviously MONGO to remove his. Fair is fair obviously. I am not expected to be treated any better then any other editor, no any worse. --SevenOfDiamonds 10:40, 18 July 2007 (UTC) Thank you!Theresa knott, thank you for appreciating the article on Daniel Z. Freedman. RS2007 11:55, 18 July 2007 (UTC) ANI board commentRe: your response to Danko on the ANI board here. Shouldn't Mathsci's personal info be removed, a cursory look at his talk page indicates he wishes to remain anonymous. Websites that publish personal info are considered attack sites by Arbcom. This doesn't look like it should be allowed. Just thought you might want to take another look at it. If I'm wrong in my thinking let me know, I'll add your page to my watchlist for a day or two. thanks, R. Baley 10:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
12 reverts in half hourMadam, More than half a dozen reverts on two articles in about 10 minutes by user:Manu rocks to remove tempaltes from his pov articles. As I am reverteing vandalism i am not responsble for 3 revert rules. pls see [1] How?How do you deal with the vandalism? I've only dealt with about 10 vandals today and my head already hurts. *sigh* Thanks for the deletion of those pages though.Silver seren 22:54, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
how to stop unscrupulous people from posting false information on talk page?in one article, some unscupulous people are posting some false information, with sole intent to defame the person regarding the article is about. how can we stop such vandalism?
talk pages in question are prabir ghosh, rationalist movement sukanta das had falsely claimed that prabir ghosh is not the gen. sec. of science and rationalist association of india. in regards to that i have uploaded the certified copy of registrar proving sukanta's claim is bogus. few days back he also deleted the name of prabir ghosh from notable rationalist list. talk pages in question are prabir ghosh, rationalist movement --Rationalistdebasis 00:12, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
thank you theresa knott for your suggestion. i have already uploaded the info along with certified copy of court in the talk page. now wat else u suggest me to do to stop such vandalism? regards. --Rationalistdebasis 13:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC) actually,There have been numerous occasions where, even just as an editor, i've gone and left notes regarding smaller things there, where I've gone and helped out at pages, where I've doen the work of providing longersummaries of issues with diffs and so on. [2] and [3] would be two diffs of one case where I helped defuse a situation. [4], [5], [6] and [7] is another. I'm upset because lately, I've noticed an incredible uptick in the number of AN/I cases where experienced editors are doing dumb stuff, and the Admins are coddling them, letting them escalate things and then saying 'well the other guy started it, so it's all their fault', which is NOT how things are handled in the real world. In the real world, both peopel throwing punches get hauled to jail, thrown out of the bar, or given detention, or whatever. As to the specific case, it's been suggested multiple times that the rollback tools might be needed, because the user is NOT using summaries, and is interspersing their work with legit, non-Tecmo related edits. Further, and admin still needs to give a decision about the propriety of the behavior, which has NOT been done. lots of editors and admins said, oooh, that's bad, but he kept doing it. No one has said for him to flat out stop doing it yet. That needs to happen, there needs to be a decision made to hold the editor to. Regular editors cannot make that statement and expect it to hold water. An admin has to, and none has yet. Finally, even in the last few days, I've done more to contribute to AN/I, finding diffs that support actions against others [8]. I don't look at AN/I only to fidn easy things to help with, and I don't look jsut to support the Admins. I do it because Admins SHOULD have interested users watching the page, and watching how decisions are (or aren't) being made. Accountability, if you will. But I do get involved, I have resolved AN/I's in the past, and will continue to do so. I'm just frustrated beyond normal levels by the abilities of MONGO to continually escalate things, Merkey to get away with his actions, and so on. There are repeat offenders who show up al lthe time there, and really ought to be banned from editing here. They aren't. And no one can really explain why. To imply I don't help isn't the case. review my actions in exactly the way you mention, you'll see me contributing just fine at AN/I. In fact, last link [9] shows that I actually overall support the process. It's when the process fails I get tired of it. ThuranX 05:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
SandpitHi. The user continued vandalising, so I blocked them, and have therefore unprotected Sandpit. Hope this is OK with you. Cheers TigerShark 12:08, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Ispy1981Hi, Theresa. I am the real Ispy1981. I'd like to request a checkuser on the Ispy1981 that posted earlier today. This is an anon vandal with a grudge, who needs to be blocked completely, who has hacked into my account. If a check user is performed on this user as well as on my earlier contribs (which are still fresh enough to be used), you'll see I'm not kidding. Thanks.--75.32.146.37 14:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

A bit off-topic: finding when passwords changed - like this - is not a typical sysop privilege, is it? Just curious since it would probably be useful to have in some situations (like this one). —Wknight94 (talk) 15:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm terribly sorry...But after seeing your comments around, I must now ask. For curiousity is now overcoming me. Taste the korn, The otter sank? Thanks in advance, Navou 21:30, 22 July 2007 (UTC) They are anagrams of my name. More fun than just "talk". Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:40, 22 July 2007 (UTC) I like that, perhaps I'll try it. The only one I could find for myself was "Ova Nu" but I found another one for you, if you like... "A Tethers knot" and "Than seek rott" Have fun, Navou 23:20, 22 July 2007 (UTC) Don't forget the lamest possible "anagram": There's a Knott.

OldwindyYou had said in the ANI thread you were going to make the request at Meta for desysopping. Has that been done? The user list shows as an Admin at this timestamp. GRBerry 22:07, 25 July 2007 (UTC) Yes the request has been made here. No steward has looked at the page yet though. There is no particular urgency. I'm sure it will be done soon enough. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 22:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC) harassmentI'm talking about his intimidating and threatening languge. Whatever you call it, I believe if you make comments such as calling someone "godamn stubborn"hereand calling my discussion "mini shit storms"here does constitue an insult/insulting language, if its okay to talk to people like this, please tell me, but otherwise he should be blocked.

reply to User:24.23.21.137Hi. Sorry for the misleading notice I might have put on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Blocking ip/ User:DiemacherI recently blocked Diemacher for a period of 48 hours, however I removed the block so that the user could pursue mediation- the fact is that he claims he is fixing the article in question, Spirit Airlines, to which Sox23 has been adding incorrect info. As such, this is a content dispute, and I would ask that you remove the block so that these users can try dispute resolution. David Fuchs (talk) 13:01, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
The anon 217.43.69.32Theresa - You need to see the response to your last post to this anon at User talk:217.43.69.32. I have responded myself, but he really, really does not "get it". So far, he is treading lightly over at talk:Herbert Dingle, but his user-talk page post indicates that he still thinks that he has to make it clear that Dingle was right. --EMS | Talk 17:40, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Help me!hi i was searching round my local schools in my area and on the wordsley school pages i found evidence of bullying i looked under the history and found it had been protected by you and i would like to ask if you could full protected the wordsley school page due to this bullying i would hope wikipeida dosent praise bullying thanks
thanks theresa if you see any vandalism could you block the ip adress of the person becuase it has been going on for ages and it seems to be the same person vandalising everytime Zeb Text LogoIn regards to the Zebra logo here, User:Measly pawn, I am a member of the Association who has purchased this logo, and all of the rights associated with it. This logo is also free for use as it is an official logo is it not? I believe my mistake in uploading the last one resulted in a blank page, and resulted in the file's warning of being an unfair useage. Please feel free to correct me, as I am not well-versed in terms of the laws governing fair-use photos. Thank you, Measly pawn 20:00, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
O_OI didn't know who else to talk to about this. Um...the CVU (Counter-Vandalism Unit) page is gone! I was thinking there was some sort of mistake on someones part?Silver seren 21:15, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
21:58, 9 August 2007 Moreschi (Talk | contribs | block) deleted "Wikipedia:Counter-Vandalism Unit" (I don't think this really does anything anymore, and it certainly encourages a rather paramilitary mindset amongst vandal reverters. This is unproductive, and the page has also served as a vandal magnet in the past. Either way, I see no reason for this pi) I looked over the history of the page and pretty much all recent edits were either vandalism or reverting vandalism. I've been a prominent vandal fighter for many years here and have never so much as looked at that page. What do you need it for? Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:20, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
Could you please unprotect and unblank this user's talk page. He has not vanished, but instead is edit-warring on Hariakhan Baba. IPSOS (talk) 01:28, 10 August 2007 (UTC) No problem.

Harringay PageThersa, I noticed you'd deleted the link to the FP blog. Thanks for looking out for the page. Deletion was my first reaction, then I looked at the blog and I thought it had some good stuff on it - detailed crime stats etc. I know blogs are verboten, but I had been inclined to leave this one. What do you think? hjuk 21:10, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Hiregarding your comment here [10] this IP has just reverted me again, thats 4 posts 3 of them reverts of my edits [11].--padraig 21:53, 10 August 2007 (UTC) Overuse of minor edit flagI notice that many of your edits involving the flag for Northern Ireland are flagged as minor edits, including quite a few places where this is clearly contentious. This may well be an unintentional consequence of however you typically edit Wikipedia, but in any case can you make sure that this flag is only set where the edit is not controversial? It's probably not intended as such, but it could be construed as a disingenuous attempt to slip edits in undetected. Per Help:Minor edit, "reverting a page is not likely to be considered minor under most circumstances. When the status of a page is disputed, and particularly if an edit war is brewing, then it is better not to mark any edit as minor". Thanks. — ras52 22:52, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Rich Apuzzo ArticleHello, I am new to Wikipedia, and this is my first article. Could you please give me some constructive feedback to my article Rich Apuzzo? The intention of the article is not to be a fan site, just an informative one. There is a flurry of activity about it lately, and I think much of it is because some people do not like one of the people who have made edits to it and follow him around. Like I said, I am new at this and welcome any advice. Thanks - Angelika 23 00:54, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
Incivility and editing of talk pages to remove civil warningsThank you for your concern, Theresa. I always understood, and Wikipedia:Talk page guidelines seems to back me up on this, that it is considered quite rude to delete civil warnings and discussion from one's own talk pages. Since you feel I've overstepped the bounds on this, I will refrain from attempting to restore the record on the talk page under discussion, despite the recent e-mail from the user in question, which reads (in full): "look dipcrap....vandalize my page again and you'll have some serious hell to pay! I'll wipe you up with the floor, keep it up BOY!!!!!!!" I still feel that he is the offender in this matter, not I. --Orange Mike 01:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Ipod Tutor pageTheresa, could you please restore page for Ipod Tutor book? Sorry but it is a blatent advertisment for your book. When the book hits the best seller lists, then we can have an article on it. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 17:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC) Actually, Theresa, this book is historically significant from at least one perspective: it is the first book that has been published which utilizes the iPod in conjunction with flag-point methodology to create a blended learning program. We intended to describe that methodology on the page of the book, and hopefully other educators would be able to utilize it when creating their own blended learning programs. We would hope that you would reconsider, this methodology would have great value in advancing the cause of improving educational pedagogy. Many thanks for your consideration!
Edits to Erin BurnettTheresa, the situation needs to be taken care of. Information you posted has been provided and User_talk:ICarriere has taken it upon themselves to assume the situation is closed and solved is their favour. Please review.

DiamondsThe only admin "objection" so far I see to SevenOfDiamonds being blocked is from El C...and he told me that he hasn't looked at the evidence, just was concerned that there have been lots of allegations of sockpuppetry on Diamonds.[12] Viridae left one comment...nothing about an objection. I have no problem leaving it up, but I understand that arbcom doesn't even deal with that page much if at all, so I'm not sure what more can be done...what is the arbcom case to be about? There are a couple more incidents of stalking, but frankly, I can deal with that for the most part until it gets abusive. Everything else there is about him being a ban evader...should arbcom review that as evidence of ban evasion? I thought that was what the enforcement page was for since there is already an existing case.--MONGO 17:15, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

In response to the sandbox commentI've also added this to Jimbo's talk page as well:
Xia and YuanThanks, but please don't semi-protect my talk page: I run a bot, and do new page and recent changes patrol; so I need to keep my communication lines unambiguously open. Last thing I need is to give the appearance of impropriety! If that particular vandal pops back up, I'll just play whack-a-mole. I went to ANI so that he would be slapped on the wrists at least once to make it unequivocal that this was disruptive behavior; not in the vain hope that I would never again be vandalized. :-) — Coren (talk) 15:36, 19 August 2007 (UTC) AnonymizerHello Theresa, As you know I've been in the midst of a discussion/debate in regard to a certain page on Wikipedia. If you recall, I pointed out my belief that this same individual is using a proxy for various Sock Puppets. What's worse, the person monitors my contrib page and then adds his comments to conversations that have nothing to do with him *[13] (I have no doubt he will be reading this page shortly). So in my attempt to understand exactly how the person is doing this, I have done some research into the topic. And I am wondering if Wikipedia is even capable of detecting programs like Anonymizer? I know you can't reveal any trade secrets, but I need some reassurance that my contributions here are not in vain. I'm very concerned about the idea that a person could use this technique to vandalize the work of others with relative impunity and complete anonymity. - ICarriere 19:51, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
BlockingTheresa Knott, on what grounds did you block the 2 accounts? An request for checkuser has been made [15] and it a very weak one. Please explain as you are essentially accussing me of having sockpuppets. --statsone 18:14, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello, Theresa! I, too, am curious as to how you determined that User:You idiot kid is a sockpuppet. I'm also a bit perplexed by your block of User:4.231.233.164 as a meatpuppet. To be clear, I'm not suggesting that either of these actions was incorrect, but I would sincerely appreciate explanations. If you're worried about spilling the beans, feel free to e-mail me. Thanks! :-) —David Levy 19:44, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Great, I can finally speak. What a nice welcome for a newbie. I would like to know on what grounds you autoblocked me for? Was it for being a newbie and editing an entry? I don't see how you logically determined "the other one is dead obvious." Regardless of what you did to me, the issue of the entry still remains but perhaps we will look toward a more prudent admin than yourself to resolve this. In the future, please be more careful when deciding to block someone. You idiot kid 22:13, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
Theresa Knott, I'm finally back from auto-block purgatory. It sucked getting blocked and not being able to defend yourself. Thanks for doing the due diligence and restoring my account. As I said on the talk page, I'm saw the video of that quote on the internet, came to the wikipedia page and didn't understand why the quote wasn't there. Ended up reading the talk page, thought ICarriere's arguments against it were poor and signed up for an account to join the discussion. Anyway, thanks for sorting it out. Perhaps this is biting the hand that brought me back to life but I doubt that a comment inviting people to look at the craziness on the talk page is what brought the majority of people there. Maybe a few hundred saw that comment on reddit while probably over a million saw a clip of the actual quote on various major blogs or the Daily Show. Aquavit 13:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
Dark Lord DylanTheresa Knott, one of my colleagues, Dark Lord Dylan is suspected to be a sock puppet of Gundar Twinky fluffuy or something like that. I can asure you that I have seen all of his accounts and none of them resemble this name. Is there anyway you could lift the block on him? And if you need more info just tell me. Thanks.--Kondrayus 23:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC) Please explain this edit, and these ones and also explain how you come to know all of "his accounts". Cheers.

Chris --Chebbes 21:27, 27 August 2007 (UTC) Bad-faith edits by a contributorTheresa: I had to log out and make this edit because I believe a regular contributor known as Yath is tracking what articles I contribute to and is on the verge of vandalism-like harrasement. I'll try to give you a fair—and short—synopsis of the background here: I did to the Kilogram article what I did to the Specific heat capacity article: I did some wholesale revising of it. The Kilogram article had degraded to a sorry state and needed many errors corrected. It seems that some articles, like the Specific heat capacity article, have appreciative and cooperative authors. I got a lot of help from Spiel496 and BenB4 and the two helped me to delete a redundant article that I had effectively merged into Specific heat capacity. Other articles; namely the Kilogram article have what I term “squatters,” who take extreme ownership of articles and are less than enthusiastic about newcomers stirring the pot. One such regular contributor to the Kilogram article is Yath. As I mentioned, I recently made major revisions to Kilogram article; I even created this ray-traced graphic for the article because the old photograph had been deleted due to copyright problems. However, Yath hasn’t been very agreeable to the changes along the way. His opposition though, has always seemed to be founded on a legitimate editorial basis. I believe we've been handling our Kilogram-related disputes in the proper fashion by debating them in the Talk:Kilogram page. The Kelvin issue is a different matter: A table of SI-prefixed forms of the kelvin has been in the article for years as far as I can tell; this 500-edit-old version is the oldest I can find and it contains the table. A user had recently truncated the table and I restored to its full size it last night. This morning, I found that Yath had deleted it. This borders on vandalism because the table had an imbedded editors’ note explaning that other articles linked directly to the table and deleting the section breaks all the referenced links. For instance, an article on Absolute zero might mention 450 nk and the link takes the reader to the table. Notwithstanding this advise, he deleted it. His comment was a terse “(si prefix table adds nothing to the article.)” I left this response regarding that on the talk page. More disturbing to me is I can see from the history section that the last time Yath made an edit to the Kelvin article was nearly a year ago—29 September 2006. Yet less than nine hours after I restored the table to its full size (after having been truncated by someone else) Yath deleted it. I suspect he is tracking my contributions and is just trying to stir up trouble. Can you do something about this? Greg L (my talk) 18:31, 23 August 2007 (UTC) (I had to hand-enter this signature since I logged out to write this note to you).
Advise for creation of a CategoryAs per request, you have deleted a page "Slovenian Buddhists". It seems to me that this page would be good as a catgeory, as it exist also "Slovenia Roman Catholics" for example. This category could also be linked to Slovenian_people_by_religion. The link to this page as catgeory exists in Shenphen Rinpoche, so I son't understand why the category hasn't been created automatically as it is written here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:CAT#Some_general_guidelines ? Advises would be appreciated :) --Alencek 00:06, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Oh, I reverted youThere already is a main article that lists all of these journals, and these can simply be redirects to that article. If you feel I am in error, at least please address the problem of the multiple single purpose accounts created simply for creating these articles, the similar and unreferenced text, the timing of all of the creations, and the actions of multiple wikilinking internally and the suggestion that this be done to boost ratings on search engines, before you remove my tags.[22] Wikipedia editors don't generally create multiple single purpose accounts, each with the name of one journal, in order to create articles. These are ads.
Each of these editors was a single purpose account that only edited these articles, and only edited them from August 8 to 9th, 2006. These are advertisements, and there is a main article that lists them all. They're not only adverstisements, they were created by a single sock puppet account. These are not regularly contributing editors, this is the work of a pernicious spammer and this type of abuse of Wikipedia is despicable. Please restore the prods. Thank you.

Thanks for removing vandalism, but I now can't get rid of "new messages" thingHi Theresa. It's taken me a while to work out what's happened, but it looks like from here that you got rid of vandalism on my Talk page by simply deleting that page. I've no problem at all with that, but the funny thing is that orange "You have new messages (last change)." message won't go away. I suspect that as the page was deleted before I was able to open it, the system thinks I've never opened it and thus continues to show the message. In other words, a bug. I can't report it as a bug because I do my editing as an anon (my preference). I know that next time I log in to my ISP I'll simply have a new IP address, but some other anon may get similarly confused. And possibly a similar situation may occur for non-anons. Presumably, if a Talk page gets deleted then associated unread messages should also be deleted. Would you be able to appropriately report this as a bug, if that is what it is?

current opinionSeems to have all happened while I was asleep. I left my opinion for KP. Obviously those pages needed merging or upgrade, but of course speedy wasn't the way--it rarely is. I try to watch CSD to catch the science stuff people didnt understand, but I cant get them all. Personally, I think there's enough material on each for a separate article, but the combined one is a good enough start--I'd rather work getting in the journals that don't have articles yet. In general I have some considerable experience here (and elsewhere) working with publishers and their publicity guys, so feel free to ask if there's anything needing doing or speaking to. Thanks for all the good work, now and always!! DGG (talk) 19:27, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
hellohow do you do? I am fine .. see you again--S1721422301490 14:38, 27 August 2007 (UTC) What are you doing? Theresa Knott | The otter sank 14:32, 27 August 2007 (UTC) Hi i am fine too. I'm intriged as to what your purpose is here on wikipedia. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 14:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I was banned for using User:S172142230149 user id, so please report me to admins thanks for that.. if they caught me they may ban gain, i dont want to create another user name. u can see my previous contribution with that user name . reply to me ok --S1721422301490 14:49, 27 August 2007 (UTC) HelloWe just wanted to know why exactly you deleted our LoveSac page? We were very factual and did not advertise. Is there something we are missing? 75.40.163.154 20:57, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

How is it differentHow is it different than for instance Zappos.com all we did was state what we do and what we sell, we didn't hype or advertise anything specific at all, just facts. We are just trying to inform the community using Wikipedia what we are as it is obviously a relatively popular search term. Something seems very weird here, I would like to know what you consider advertising on our page that was not advertising on others such as zappos, amazon, any retail companies wiki page for that matter. Specific example would be nice. 75.40.163.154 21:23, 27 August 2007 (UTC) OK this may come across as a bit harsh. But I want you to understand where I am coming from on this. I've been an editor here for years. I started editing back when Wikipedia was a teeny tiny website and have over the years helped it to become one of the most important websites anywhere. We allow anyone to edit here, and we've grown exponentially because of it. I and the other wikipedians like me are in the business of writing an encylopedia. I see people like you as abusers of our open editing policy. We get to decide what goes in our encylopedia. We've had a deletion debate and decided that, at this time, we dont want an article on your beanbags. That is our decision because we are the ones writing this encylopedia. We do sometimes have articles on companies. We are allowed to do this and we don't have to justify our decisions to the people like you who aren't here to write an encylopedia but are instead here to promote thier company or products. Actually (rereading it) that came across a lot harsher than I intended. I don't know why those companies have wikipedia pages. I can't be everywhere at once. Sorry to disappoint you. We have a review process that I could open for you if you like. The above view is mine, others may have different opinions on the matter. You may get the page reinstated that way. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC) KP BotanyKP Botany can indeed be annoying (most recently, I've been amused/appalled by her double standard on sockpuppets wrt Brya and SallyForth), but part of WP:AGF for me is that most things have a backstory, and in the case of an editor with substantial contributions, the backstory is worth paying attention to. I provided the backstory. I don't see the piling on as serious, but I know KP will, and even though I would count myself overly sensitive to behave the way she has behaved, I see where she's coming from. --Curtis Clark 21:33, 27 August 2007 (UTC) OK fair enough. Thanks for the explanation. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 21:39, 27 August 2007 (UTC) Hello, An Arbitration case involving you has been opened: Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/SevenOfDiamonds.

New Ways DeletionHi Teresa. I'm the director of NewWays. I had just begun to add a description and more content to the Wikipedia The intention is not to write an advertisment of our organization but, instead, talk about our work, goals, history, and action. --Zezek 23:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Photo editing still protectedI see you're editing it, so you must be an admin who knows that it still needs a few things. The guy who protected it seems to be on a long wiki-break, so can you please unprotect it? There's a pretty decent consensus version worked out that may result in a few edits if you do. Dicklyon 07:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC) ThanksThanks for reverting the vandalism on my user page while I was cleaning up the mess. =) -- Gogo Dodo 08:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC) personal noteA lot of us prefer to be behind the camera than in front of it, and can relate to your comment. Suggestion: Have your daughter take a closeup that makes your eyes by themselves be the picture. You can almost do that with the large-format photo that's there now, except it's not straight-on.

Alfort etc. ~ Bonaparte?Hi Theresa. Since you are an admin, couldn't you possibly block this guy? His behavior reminds me very much of Bonaparte, but even if it's not him, his every move is a violation of at least three policies at once, NPA most prominently. I don't think WP:BITE applies – or does he look like a genuine newcomer? KissL 14:06, 29 August 2007 (UTC) I thought he looked like irismeister, though not a 100% sure. He could however be a user from the romanian wiki. He seems to have stopped for now though. I'll keep an eye on him for a bit. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 14:13, 29 August 2007 (UTC) If you'll keep an eye on him, that's just fine with me, thanks. I haven't come across Irismeister so far, but looking at his user page, I think you're right. This "tyranny Wiki style" talk is definitely the same. These trolls can be so difficult to tell apart! :) KissL 14:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC) 88.82.46.193Banning me is absurd.But i wouldn't be suprized.Do them in black and white.That way,no more arguments,and i will be happy.Like i said before,but you didn't listen,i don't care about the kmines screenshots.Also an svg should definetly satisfy me.--88.82.46.193 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.82.32.78 (talk) 20:29, August 29, 2007 (UTC) Excuse me, but don't say I didn't listen when I've only just joined the debate! Theresa Knott | The otter sank 20:38, 29 August 2007 (UTC) For the thing above,i just copy pasted my self without thinking.For the images..HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHa,i think i pissed my pants,you mist SIX.And the very BIG and UGLY ones.I should have guessed that,you know ,you aren't not forced to do them,you didn't read the "thin words"(i don't know how you say that in English).Can you explain me how you done them?I'll try and make the rest(i intalled inkscape). What do you think,the other guy really did them by hand.Or they are really screenshots.--88.82.32.78 22:25, 29 August 2007 (UTC) I don't know if he made them or not. But images like this should be SVGs anyway. What dou you mean by "you mist SIX". I don't follow you. Anyway to edit the images, open them in inkscape and edit away. Inkscape isn't too difficult to learn, but it' not simple enough that i can give you a tutorial on this talk page :-(. I've actually written a beginner's tutorial on meta. Hang on I'll try to find a link. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 22:30, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Here you go. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Tutorial_for_Vectorial_graphism have fun. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 22:33, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Just scroll down the page huny, and you'll get the point.I just want a shortcut for thies particular images.--88.82.32.78 22:35, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
Like i said.Just explain me how to do thies in particular.I don't need a masters in inkscape.Now honestly,do you beleave that he did that by hand,if i where one of your students and told you that i did them by hand,would you beleave me?--88.82.32.78 22:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
In the 3BV section we can just put one.the other two are redondand.You get the picture,of what 3bv is with a small one,i propose the one you alredy created,this would be more intelligent then try to redo every thing.Ther isn't any issue about the number of images in this section.So this can be fixed with little pain.The other two are small.And the last,is just a flag.That whay i'm not going to need soon my masters in inkscape.A was looking for a link like that in commons,can you add that link,in the tamplates that ask peopol to transform this image to svg(for commons and wikipedia)?--88.82.32.78 23:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Yes. I'm going to bed now, but I'll do it in the morning. If you know the name of the template can you put it here to save me having to look for it. Cheers. Theresa Knott | The otter sank 23:08, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Commons link[32].I don't know if ther is one specific for wikipedia too."He made them by hand".3bv 59 has 256 scares,that have to be carefully put so that the numbers corespond with the mines.You have the option to do them by hand or just take the screenshot.Plus a bunch of other evidence.I'm assuming that you just hiding behind the "good faith" policy,on this one.--88.82.32.78 23:27, 29 August 2007 (UTC) Playboy Magazine CoversHi, How do I nominate them for deletion as a group ?
