Northern New South Wales Soccer Federation

I believe you were seeking info on the NNSWSF. It is independent of Soccer NSW with the same standing as any of the other state federations when it comes to the FFA... --Hack 02:36, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the Note on the Conventions and a question about removing V for Victory from the page

Thanks for the feedback. I will make sure that I comply with the Wiki guides but I am a little confused as to why our V for Victory group was removed form the page. Could you explain ... Blueheels

Just because you're the first tazmanian...

gives you no right to boss around anyone speculating the sexual orientation of a robot from star wars. now if you were the tazmanina devil that would be another thing but i know you're not because you would be typing "@#!#@@$%#$#$?!!?" but you're not so just stop it with your authoritative fascism — Preceding unsigned comment added by Meltzer (talk • contribs) 08:01, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

List of bands with complete sentence name

An article that you have been involved in editing, List of bands with complete sentence name, has been listed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of bands with complete sentence name. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --SkerHawx 01:50, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Australia national football team

Can we change Australia national football (soccer) team to Australia national soccer team. I just don't like the title and how it looks. Kingjeff 06:42, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Hazzard

Hazzard

Hi! I'm pretty new to Misplaced Pages. I created an article about a band called Hazzard. It received a speedy delete tag and was deleted by NawlinWiki, because I had failed to claim notability. I recreated the article, although perhaps I could have asked NawlinWiki to restore it. This time, I argued notability in the discussion page, and the notability should be apparent from the text as well.

Now I've noticed that it has been deleted once more. However, I don't recognize the first line of the article as I wrote it in the delete log. And I see that an article of the same name has been deleted before. Could it be that someone has changed the entire content of my article for some self-promoting purpose? I'd be grateful if you could check if the previous version of the article was fit to remain on Misplaced Pages. Please consult Talk:Hazzard.Odd M. Nilsen 20:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Reminder: I would be grateful if you could reply to me, please. Keep in mind that my article had nothing to do with previous articles with the same title. Yours, --Odd M. Nilsen 10:50, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for reply & assistance.--Odd M. Nilsen 11:30, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

New articles

Thanks for the information. The problem was not that the people were not at all notable, but that the articles were probably copyright violations and were written like advertisement copy, which is a speedy deletion criterion, and that the user's only edits were adding bios of people related to this one radio show. The user also did not respond to requests to stop, and repeatedly re-posted the same articles. I don't have a problem if you want to re-create the articles in proper wiki-style. Thanks, Mak (talk) 04:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Feel free to unblock if you think it's appropriate. I'd just ask that you double-check that the articles you undelete aren't copyvios. Thanks, Mak (talk) 05:16, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Restore Talk:Sarah Howells

Can you please restore this talk page which was deleted under WP:CSD#G8 (talk pages of pages that do not exist). I made a comment there. Thanks! --WikiSlasher 12:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

OK thanks --WikiSlasher 13:00, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Thedrunkendialer.com

I am wondering of this site could be considered an internet phenomena or not. I know it is rather popular and extremely humorous. It features a guy who holds a weekly contest offering $100 via PayPal to the individual who leaves him he best Drunk dialing message on his voicemail.

I did not add this site to this article yet for fear that people would think I am self-promoting. I have no affiliation with the site and can’t find any direct marketing used to purchase products. I just think it is very funny and well known around my area.

I look forward to some objective input before I add, or do not add this site to the list. Take a look for yourself, you be the judge…

Thanks, 69.167.102.181

P.S. I posted the same message on User_talk:Wavy_G for more opinions. Look forward to hearing from you...

Thank you for your input

I greatly appreciate you opinions and value your perspectives. Your vantage point enables me to better conceptualize Misplaced Pages’s purpose. I will watch this site in the future to determine if it becomes more notable, however I won’t lose any sleep if it is not included in that particular article. However, I did find it to be quite hilarious, yet I understand that humor is not a criterion for adding a link to an article.

Look forward to hearing from you, 69.167.102.181

Jericho and disambiguation

Thanks for fixing up the link. I'd forgotten that the "otheruses1" template only takes one parameter anyways, automatically appending "(disambiguation)" to the page name. Cheers. --Ckatz_spy 03:29, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Block of Lord Bilby:

Well done, was just warning the user when I noticed he had vandalised many other pages. Was just about to get an admin when you blocked him. Good job. I was a bit miffed as I had just been reverting his edits to Misplaced Pages for over 10 minutes (since I'm no admin...) Good job... :) Spawn Man 06:44, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: See also links on FFT

Hey Chuq The reason I added the See Also links is because on other governing bodies articles with Football Federation in their name, They all have See Also catorgries on there pages. FFT was the only one without See Also so thought i would add it.

Should we add See Also to FFT or remove See Also from other governing body articles? Thanks Boltonfan22 09:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Shall be done Boltonfan22 10:19, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Frasier episodes

Hi there, I started to go through and fix some Frasier eps and noticed you had beaten me to some of them. How far did you get? .. just so I don't double up on looking for title to fix! -- Chuq 08:39, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

That was almost two months ago (when I thought this issue was settled!) so I don't recall too well but I figure I did all of the episodes that existed at the time. Looks like I also did "Law & Order, Criminal Intent", "Firefly", "Max Headroom", "The Twilight Zone", andn "Scrubs". And, of course, I had fixed "Lost" as well at the time! In case you couldn't understand my impatience with the current discussion, it's because this has already been decided before!!! And, of course, it's involving the exact same parties as before - but the filibuster continues... —Wknight94 (talk) 11:34, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hazzard

I meant to write you about this earlier... I'm very confused about your actions concerning this page. It was speedily deleted several times before, quite justifiably. Then you speedily deleted it, restored it and restored previous versions. I don't know why you restored it after deleting it yourself, and you should be careful when restoring previous deleted versions of a page; in this case, previous deleted versions were about a different subject altogether, so restoring almost the whole history doesn't make sense here. Do you want me to AfD it? I can almost guarantee it won't survive. You've been an admin far longer than me but I'm a little puzzled about this. Grandmasterka 07:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Tainted poll?

Hi. Sorry to bother you. You participated in a television episode article naming poll which now lives at this location. Some feel that wording changes have compromised the results of that poll. If you don't mind, could you please take a look at what is there now and add a quick note at WT:TV-NC#Looking for anyone who objects to the last poll to say whether your feelings on the matter remain the same? Of course you can feel free to read over the entirety of both links for more information. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi

The last couple of reversions of today are taking current enviornmental issues out of a series of arts - I notice there appears to be no attempt at dialogue with the perpretrator - does this mean they've ogone on before or you simply are not interested in channelling the perpatrator into some other means of expression? I am not questioning the action on your part - they are unnaceptable, fair enough (or they could be explained to be ,made another way perhaps) - just curious. Would be interested in a response SatuSuro 08:44, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Spamalot - tell me about it - sorry to bother you! Also I have tried to unravel the past at Federal Group article - would be interested to think whether its worth develoiping further or not in that particular article or not? SatuSuro 09:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC) As the Wrest Point article is somewhat sanguine with limited linking or referencing really - and I was wondering to do the feeral group one a bit more fleshed out with details and refs - when I get around to it...

Daylight saving timezones map

Hey there

Thanks for your work with the daylight saving timezones map of Australia (here: http://en.wikipedia.org/Image:Australia-Timezones-Daylight.png). Wondering if you're able to update this to show WA as +9 based on the Daylight Saving legislation that came into effect here today?

Assistance to address longterm vandalism problem

Hi Charles. As someone who’s helped combat the persistent vandalism of Avram over a long period of time, I’m wondering if you can help out with an instance of longterm sockpuppet abuse, vandalism, trolling and general disruptive behaviour on a similar article.

Harvardy is a sockpuppet account that was created earlier this year with the apparent sole purpose of stalking my edits to Empire of Atlantium. The account has made a total of 74 edits since being created. Its second edit was a vote to delete the article. 18 other edits consist of reversions to the article. At least 20 other edits constitute attempts to delete content about Atlantium from micronations or harassment directed at me via various talk pages.

As the edit history clearly demonstrates, the person behind the Harvardy sock has been fully conversant with me, my contributions and Misplaced Pages policies and processes from day one, and created the account as a deliberate source of disruption to the project.

After a period of inactivity Harvardy recently reappeared and is continuing recurring vandalism and edit-stalking of Empire of Atlantium. The vandalism comprises wholesale reversion of fully-referenced edits, using false edit summaries, as well as low-level trolling on the article talk page.

Harvardy has also set up other sockpuppets and edited using anonymous IPs to evade the 3RR and continue vandalizing the article. His socks Crooked_allele and Enenkian have both been blocked indefinitely as a result of this.

The general pattern of behaviour, edit summary wording and obsessive vandalism of Empire of Atlantium engaged in by Harvardy is identical to that of the hard-banned editor Wik / Gzornenplatz. The latter obsessively vandalized the Atlantium article and edit-stalked me for several years - exactly as Harvardy is doing now - before being banned by Jimbo.

I’d like to ask if you wouldn’t mind looking into this, and if you agree with my assessment either permanently block Harvardy, or put the article on your watch list so his vandalism can be rolled-back whenever it occurs.

I'm happy to discuss this by email or phone if you think it appropriate. --Gene_poole 04:49, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Soccer template

If you would look, I have only edited it where it is refered to locally (Asia still is refered to as football and in the worldwide). But the national soccer team has been redirected to national football (soccer) tem and soccer reffered to in australia-wide on wikipedia is referred to as football (soccer). Therefore these must fall inline with the wikipedia agreed term. Thank you. 58.168.213.99 09:52, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Chuq/TV stations

User:Chuq/TV stations has a lot of fair use images on it. Fair use images cannot be used in user space, so the ones of network logos need to be removed. _JD 11:31, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Since you've made contributions since I left this message, I'm assuming you've read it and ignored it, so I've commented out the fair use images on that page. _JD 09:14, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Reply: Your grid of user warning templates

Hi John, I ran across your grid of user warning templates a couple of days ago. Today, I heard about WikiProject user warnings which is a plan to centralise and standarise warning templates for all of Misplaced Pages. I'm sure they will find your table useful, so I have posted a link to your grid page on the projects talk page. You may get a few visitors and comments about it! Regards, Chuq 07:55, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for any confusion, but that grid is copied directly from

here and I use it as a quick ref for warnings. John Reaves 08:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Chuq

Hi Chuq,

Their views and opinions are equally not being positively recieved and on the rugby league football templates, considered vandalism. Please refer this problem to a non soccer guru instead of sticking up for blatently POV soccer people when you are an aggressive soccer POVer yourself. Meant in the most sincere spirit. Thankyou — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.10.112.157 (talk • contribs)

please show me one other editor that is having a problem with the template? You might also answer why when League is not played at all in Portugal, you want to list Portugal as a Rugby League playing nation? You (147.10.112.157) also seem happy to ignore User:Grinner's editing to the templeate.Tancred 11:46, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

"Players must have Portuguese ancestry. Australian born players must have at least one grandparent who is Portuguese to qualify." No different from soccer. "Interest in rugby league has emerged in Portugal and amongst other Portuguese communities in the Northern Hemisphere. The PRLA hopes too channel this interest as they embark on establishing a national rugby league competition in Portugal." This clearly shows that the operations are directed towards the country and there is no precedent at all for creating some a template. It is POV vandalism attempted to provoke.
