Contreltophobia

Hi. I'd like to reinstate this page as a redirect to Agraphobia - it seems to be a valid alternative term for the condition. During creation however, I see that this page did exist as a redirect to -phobia, and was deleted by you back in March 2006. I regard this proposed redirect as valid as it links to a specific page, and not the one that was deleted. I doubt there would be any problem in me 'recreating' the redirect (to a different page), but the guidelines don't see to make any exceptions that cover this instance so, as per the guidelines and to avoid falling foul of the wrath of an Administrator, I'm asking your opinion on recreation. :-) CultureDrone (talk) 13:13, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

DYK nom

Did you know? was updated. On 23 December, 2007, a fact from the article Computational humor, which you recently nominated, was featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Thanks for nominating this amusing article for DYK, Mikka. I think this would be a great one for the WikiWorld comic too. --JayHenry (talk) 22:37, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

New category

Hi Mikkalai. Just to let you know that there is a new category for Military theorists created by Kirill. I have changed this in Tukhachevskii accordingly since he was more of a theorist then a 'writer'. Please spread the word--Mrg3105 (talk) 02:32, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Disambiguous Daisy Systems (disambiguation)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Daisy Systems (disambiguation), by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Daisy Systems (disambiguation) is a disambiguation page that only points to a single article, or no articles at all.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Daisy Systems (disambiguation), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Daisy Systems

I don't mean to be paranoid, but I can't help but think you are out to out-wikilawyer me... it's really not my intention to pick a fight.

In the case of me calling the extlink "spam", note that one anonymous editor in one shot added a person with no WP entry, and no less than four companies that also do not have WP entries, complete with an extlink to the person's most current company. Given that the extlink has nothing to do with the article, that struck me as linkspam.

I left the person and his companies in, since they did have some potential claim to notability (see? I don't just blast redlinks out of the water for no reason :-), but I removed the external link, since it had basically nothing to do with Daisy. (And yeah, I called it spam.) If the link belongs anywhere in WP, it would be in an article about CrestaTech.

'k? Again, I have no interest whatsoever in a peeing match. Just like you, I'm just trying to improve WP.--NapoliRoma (talk) 04:46, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Empress Jingū

In the context created by your recent entanglement in something to do with the legendary Empress Jingū of Japan, perhaps you may be interested in something posted on the National Archives of Japan website. As it happens, a likeness of the empress graced Meiji period 10-yen notes from 1883 through 1899, and an easy opportunity to see this for yourself is only a click away.

• National Archives of Japan: ...Click for link to image of 10-yen bill

Archive description: A banknote sample attached to a letter of inquiry submitted by Ministry of Finance to Grand Council of State in March, 1883, on issuance of a new 10 Yen Bill designed by Edoardo Chiossone, an Italian employed by the ministry. The face of the banknote depicts Empress Jingu. Circulation of this banknote started on Sept. 9, 1883, and ended on Dec. 31, 1899. "Kobun Fuzoku no Zu" (Pictures and charts affiliated with Kobun Roku ) containing this illustration were designated as National Important Cultural Properties of Japan in 1998 together with "Kobunroku".(Compiled Records of the Grand Council of State)

Thank you for your part in helping me to become a better contributor to Misplaced Pages's improvement. --Ooperhoofd (talk) 21:00, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Psychopathy, User:Zeraeph and User:Mattisse - lummee!

Hi. Sorry. Mattisse has filed a 3RR report on Zareaph following a slew of Z edits on the above article. I don't know if there were conditions on Z returning from her block (or what the result of Mattisse's report is) but there is obviously a need for some sort of resolution to this matter. I think I have some good standing with Z (very little with M, I'm afraid) and am willing to work with you and her to achieve a result - if you think it worthwhile. As I note that you are off-line presently I am going to note this comment to SlimVirgin, in case she is aware of any conditions regarding Z. Cheers. LessHeard vanU (talk) 22:31, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

My 3-RRR complaint has been rejected as "malformed". So I will depend on LessHeard vanU since no one wants to be involved. It's a hopeless state of affairs. Regards, Mattisse 00:10, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Gymnophobia

Howdy! I noticed that twice you deleted the article on gymnophobia. I thought about adding it, but as I saw your deletes I thought I'd check with you first. Do you feel it's not worthwhile to have the article? Or is just because the previous versions were "cut and paste copyright violation" and "unreferenced dicdef . content?" There are currently 16 Misplaced Pages articles that link to the (now nonexistent) article, and it seems having it would be useful. But if you think not, let me know. Thanks!

Colonel (disambiguation)

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Colonel (disambiguation), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Request for arbitration

I have filed a request for arbitration where you are an involved party. Please see Misplaced Pages:Requests for arbitration and add a statement if you wish. Jehochman 17:48, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Colonel (disambiguation)

Thanks for your comments on my talk page. However, it IS sometimes necessary to delete disambiguation pages - there is nothing new in the idea! The Colonel (disambiguation) page was quite pointless, as every element of it was already contained within the only Misplaced Pages page that pointed to it; it was therefore a candidate for deletion. Despite your comment, I did NOT, of course, delete the page - I merely nominated it for deletion. This allows interested parties, such as yourself, to add more material and so justify the existence of the page - which you have done. So there is no problem! My action was quite correct - your response in developing the page is entirely appropriate also. Both of us have acted entirely within the WP guidance on this matter, so I really don't see that there is a problem. Timothy Titus 19:53, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Moved to Talk:Colonel#Red links, where it belongs. `'Míkka>t 20:12, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

Pakistanphobia

I noticed you participated in the Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Anti-Pakistani sentiment. The article Anti-Pakistani sentiment was eventually moved to Pakistanphobia. Now Pakistanphobia has been nominated for deletion. I thought you might be interested in participating in the AfD debate at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Pakistanphobia. Feel free to come by and contribute your thoughts.Bless sins (talk) 05:06, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

I just want to say

I hope you understand that I have only expressed my sincere opinion all along. However, having said that "sincere opinion" always seems to come, thick and fast, in the negative but never in the positive.

I am genuinely impressed, as an human being, by the objectivity and impartiality of your comments on arbcom.

Thank you --Zeraeph (talk) 08:42, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

Mims' second studio album

Why did you remove all of the information I had placed on that page I had references at the bottom of the page and you removed them and erased all of the hard work I put into that page. What possessed you to do something like that. From what I have seen of you, you are mainly into army stuff so why are you even in the hip hop section, Signshare (December 31, 2007).

Signshare

Why are you going around undoing everything that I have done, every page I have edited, you have changed you need to stop following me. Signshare (January 2, 2008) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Signshare (talk • contribs) 02:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

It is spelled THAT not taht and I am not spreading rumors because those solo songs by Mims could possibly be on his second album and the "Like This (remix)" will be on the album.

Overtow

Good catch on Overtow. It took me a few moments to realize it was template vandalism when I noticed the big photo suddenly popping up on an article. He his this one too but I got it. IrishGuy 20:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Floorplan.png

Thanks for uploading Image:Floorplan.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 Misplaced Pages: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 Misplaced Pages:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Misplaced Pages 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) 05:09, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

WKYT-TV

That is one of the reasons that I've backed off of editing that page for now, and have asked for guidance in WP:ANI; the edits I've been making are tied to ongoing conversations and general consensus within the WP:TVS area for television station articles. The two users who have been adding the additional information to that article are doing so both counter to the TVS guidelines and despite any attempts at conversation to follow those guidelines. My initial interpretation is that those reversions would be considered vandalism, but I am feeling that there may be some other means of dealing with the impasse. If you have any suggestions, I am certainly open to considering them. --Mhking (talk) 13:39, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Re block of Zeraeph 12.12.07

Hi. I have just reviewed your contrib history for the 24 hours before you blocked Z. I can see no input in any forum regarding any block (or complaint), nor do I see any 3RR/edit-warring notices on Z's talkpage - nor a notice of a block there, although I have seen the comment at WP:ANI. If you can shed any light on this matter, and why Mattisse was not similarly sanctioned for presumably violating the same policies, I would be grateful. Please note that I am all too aware that Admins make mistakes (mea culpa extravagansis) but if there is the question that the unblock was unsound then I feel that the original block requires investigation. Thanks. LessHeard vanU (talk) 20:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
