February 2009 talk page edits

Copyrighted images

I know you feel like you get busted for everything, so I'm sorry, but here it comes again. Using copyrighted images in userspace isn't allowed, so I've had to removed the Spongebob Squarepants screenshots from your user page.—Kww(talk) 11:39, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it's fine. - Eugene Krabs (talk) 15:37, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

But wait. Why was it marked with "copyvio"? It's just a cartoon for crying out loud. I'm very confused. - Eugene Krabs (talk) 22:16, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

It was a copyrighted image. Don't you think that television shows are copyrighted?—Kww(talk) 02:09, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I know television shows are copyrighted, but how can one small image affect anything? - Eugene Krabs (talk) 02:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

It's covered in an article called fair use. The short version is that you are allowed to use samples of copyrighted things (like your screenshot) only if your purpose is to make a review or critical commentary of the thing being sampled. Since you were using it for decoration, it was a copyright violation. Misplaced Pages is actually stricter than the law would allow it to be. Our policies are covered under WP:FUP, WP:IUP, and WP:NFCC.—Kww(talk) 02:36, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Elements of grammar

A tag has been placed on Elements of grammar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you. §FreeRangeFrog 05:37, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Elements of grammar

A tag has been placed on Elements of grammar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay.

February 2009

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to List of characters in Danny Phantom, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Misplaced Pages:Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. Thank you. srushe (talk) 23:41, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Nice try, i've finally firgued out what you're doing. Whenever someone reverts your edits, you put a fake warning on their talk page to make them look like the bad guy. And also i've finnally figured out who you are, Bambifan. Elbutler (talk) 23:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Who the heck is Bambifan? - Eugene Krabs (talk) 23:46, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

I believe Elbutler thinks that Srushe is. Bambifan101 is the original name of a long-term vandal that puts false information into Disney articles and other children-targeted thing. Keeps popping up under new usernames, and uses some techniques that makes if difficult for Misplaced Pages to block him.—Kww(talk) 03:40, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Well I'm not. Why he'd think it was me I don't know. srushe (talk) 10:05, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm talking about Eugene. Elbutler (talk) 13:45, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm not him either. What are you, crazy? - Eugene Krabs (talk) 15:01, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of The six traits of writing

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The six traits of writing, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Original research, WP:Howto

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Shadowjams (talk) 00:09, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm doing exactly what this SysOp did on this other page I created: http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=The_elements_of_grammar&action=history Give me a break already! - Eugene Krabs (talk) 00:13, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

AfD nomination of The six traits of writing

I have nominated The six traits of writing, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The six traits of writing. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Shadowjams (talk) 00:16, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Slow down

Many editors are trying to help you, if you are in fact trying to improve wikipedia. please listen to more experienced editors and try and make at least one of your proposed articles acceptable before starting a new one, or linking to it all over the place. Jeepday (talk) 00:20, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, listen to Jeepday. There are uncountable ways of being helpful at Misplaced Pages, don't give up only because the first way you've tried didn't work the way you wanted. Victor Lopes (talk) 00:56, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Your actions are being discussed at the Admin Noticeboard for Incidents

Hello, Amaury. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you. (talk→ Bwilkins / BMW ←track) 14:33, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

User talk:AndyManchester

Users are allowed to remove warnings from their own talk pages per WP:TALK. When they do this, please do not revert it. AndyManchester is perfectly within his rights to remove them. It seems you know this since you have removed warnings and notices on your own talk page. Besides, his edits do not appear to be vandalism. They may or may not be correct, but they certainly appear to be good faith edits. Please be careful. Looking at the WP:ANI discussion on you, the community appears to be losing patience. Please be careful. Apparition /Mistakes 08:36, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Since we're sort of good friends, I will listen to you. You're nicer than some of the administrators here. =D - Eugene Krabs (talk) 16:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Just to make sure that I don't give the wrong impression, I'm not an admin. I'm pretty sure you remember that and I didn't take your last comment to imply that I was, but I just like to be careful not to misrepresent myself. Despite whether you feel that the other users are nice or not, you really should try to listen to what they are saying. For example, below, Deor left a warning that it seems you didn't care for. While you may not like the template, you would be better off listening to what Deor is saying. It is not in good practice to refactor other people's talk page messages. Even if it is just to correct a typo, you should not do it. Also, while you may not have liked Elbutler's WP:MENTOR suggestion, it was good advice, and it was quite nice of her to offer to do it herself. I would ask you to reconsider, as it stands, you are on pretty thin ice. Please listen to what others are saying more and be a little less dismissive. While you may feel that they could be nicer, they are speaking in the best interests of Misplaced Pages and trying to help you. Apparition /Mistakes 20:21, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Refactoring

Welcome to Misplaced Pages. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The six traits of writing‎, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Deor (talk) 17:26, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Oh, shut it! - Eugene Krabs (talk) 17:32, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Final warning

While it is true that i'm not an admin; other admins probally agree with the message i'm about to tell you. Listen carefully, older wikipedians are like your teacher in english class, we're here to teach you knowledge. And like teachers when you're naughty, you get a time-out/detenion. So unless you don't want to be blocked from editing wikipedia for infinity, i suggest you listen to what others have got to say for a change. Your mentorship starts tommorow, i hope you pay attenion; you don't have a choice (this is for your own good). Elbutler (talk) 19:42, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
