Vomiting

edit

Concerning Image:Vomit-67.jpg: you did not indicate whether this is a GFDL, public domain or fair use image. I am also concerned that there is no indication that permission of the vomiting person has been obtained for wide dissemination on electronic media. It is not exactly a complimentary picture. I'd appreciate if you could respond to these queries, otherwise there may be grounds to delete the image from Wikipedia. JFW | T@lk 13:39, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Senior Patrol Leader

I have redirected this to Scouting, but I am sure that if you wanted to split out a separate article on the rank structure within the scout movement this would be welcome. I was a senior patrol leader myself, long ago :-) Sometimes a SPL is not a patrol leader as such, I was the group quartermaster. - Just zis  Guy, you know?

Your report on WP:AIV

edit

Thank you for making a report on Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Removing and reporting vandalism is vital to the functioning of Wikipedia and all users are encouraged to revert, warn, and report vandalism. However, administrators are generally only able to block users if they have received a final warning (one that mentions that the user may be blocked) and they have recently vandalized after that warning was given. The reported user has not yet been blocked because it appears this has not occurred yet. If this user continues to vandalize even after their final warning, please report them again to the AIV noticeboard. Thanks. For more information on the available warnings and how to issue them, visit WP:UTM and WP:VAND. —Krellis 20:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your VandalProof Application

edit

Thank you for your interest in VandalProof, Vcelloho. As you may know, VP is a very powerful program, and in fact the just released 1.3 version has even more power. Because of this we must uphold strict protocols before approving a new applicant. Regretfully, I have chosen to decline your application at this time. The reason for this is that:

You do not yet have enough edits in the main namespace (> 250).

Please note it is nothing personal by any means, and we certainly welcome you to apply again soon. Thank again for your interest in VandalProof. Ale_Jrbtalk 17:24, 12 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

You may want to check the abuse report page. I noticed you inserted your report of 206.210.84.5 inside the heading for a report I had made. It may not get noticed if you leave it there. The usage of that page is pretty complicated -- it took me a couple of tries to get it right -- and the instructions are here. Thanks! -- Gridlock Joe 19:40, 12 April 2007 (UTC)Reply

This needs to be solved

edit

I have taken the "List of Companies" problem (what to do with an entire class of articles that get repeatedly submitted for deletion en mass?) for debate to two different places. This really needs to be solved once and for all (we can't keep debating the same stuff for eternity). Would you take a look at either the discussion on the Village Pump or the relevant wikiproject?

I realized I had made a mistake in the revert but I lost track of the page in Huggle. I'll try to be more careful in the future. -Vcelloho (talk) 00:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
Oh, man, don't even think about it. We all have that happen sometimes, where we try to revert vandalism, but because we're not the only one fighting the fight, we end up reverting to a vandalized version. I just found this one particularly funny, because the net effect was to remove the relatively innocuous letters "LOL" and leaving the really nasty stuff right next to it. It was hilarious, and I was literally laughing out loud. No worries, just fun. Unschool (talk) 00:20, 27 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

episcopal logo image

edit

Please do not replace the logo on Episcopal Church (United States) until the discussion at WP:NFR has had a chance to complete. There is a history of people: 1) uploading a nonfree fair use logo from the Episcopal Church's web page; 2) someone uploads a free version they made themselves; 3) someone changes Episcopal Church (United States) to use the free one; 4) the nonfree one is deleted as unused; 5) an admin wanders by and determines (without discussion) that the free version is a copyright violation and deletes it, 6) and we return to step 1. Sometimes in place of step 6, we do a shorter turn of the wheel, and move straight to steps 2 and 4. There is a discussion right now at WP:NFR about a long-term actual solution, but for now, your helpful attempt to do number 3 only pushes this annoying wheel one more step around its inexorable course.

You are now a Reviewer

edit
 

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. Courcelles (talk) 01:18, 18 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I noticed that you reverted an edit by 99.23.90.235. He seems to be making a lot of edits to related pages, with a non-neutral agenda (changing neutral names to non-neutral names, and magnifying numbers of people in regions and armies without sourcing). You seem to know what to do about such things, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention in the hope that you can deal with it. Thanks. Duoduoduo (talk) 20:46, 12 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Well, now you've got me puzzled. If you think he's a sneaky vandal, why did you revert my reversion of his numerical change? Duoduoduo (talk) 22:41, 12 July 2011 (UTC)Reply
