== George W. Bush ==
Below is a list of the page titles which have been deleted, as well as can be constructed, with the justifications for deleting. Other than the November 3 entries, the titles were listed on [[Wikipedia utilities/Page titles to be deleted]], with justifications for deleting, for a while before deletion. The general justifications for deletion are listed at [[Wikipedia policy on permanent deletion of pages]].
 
I am sorry for going against wikipedia policies on the George W. Bush article. I meant it as a joke, and I didn't realize that my intentions were going to offend people this much. I have truly learned a valuable lesson. Thank you AuburnPilot. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Thiemster|Thiemster]] ([[User talk:Thiemster|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Thiemster|contribs]]) 02:33, 25 March 2007 (UTC{{{3|}}})</small>

Hi,
Sorry if this message will edit your user page but I cannot for the life of my work out how to send a message, a have clicked "leave me a message", and the page I am now looks like a wiki edit page screen.
I just got your second message. By the time I had read your first I had added a few links, and only just worked out how to send you a message. Sorry, I didnt realise it was classed as Valdalism. Can you tell me who I speak to about adding links like TVSquad had, TV.com has etc etc. I understand official sites added, but I cant understand why TVSquad and TV.com are allowed and I am told not to. Is there someone in Wiki I can speak to about advertising rates? I have also told members of my site to stop adding links, some were, but without wiki usernames they didnt receive any messages telling them to stop.
Thanks

I don't really understand all the ins and outs of Wikipedia in-general, let alone protection specifically, but it seems to me that TFA should at least be semi-protected.

== William March / Company K ==
#<nowiki>ATTAN </nowiki>-- page read "ATTAN ialah seorang staf di CENTEPIS.. nama manjanya ialah `baby'... hobinya pada masa lapang ialah korek idung...."
 
Hello again,
#<nowiki>Boris the crazy Russian </nowiki>- a redirect to a non-existent page.
I wanted to let you know that I added a bit more content to the [[William March]] page and finished integrating the trivia section into the main text. Tell me what you think (if you have the time).
 
Also, I had a question for you about the importance meter. The page I created on March's [[Company K]] received an importance rating of mid, while his novels [[The Bad Seed]] and [[The Looking-Glass]] are rated importance low. [[Company K]] is still being rated as the greatest work of American World War I fiction (arguably the greatest work of World War I literature from the US). This novel continues to be taught and was currently made into a film. The masses have largely forgotten about the work, but the same could be said about the whole WWI era.
#<nowiki>Sudden Creationism </nowiki>- a made-up term
 
My question is who deems the works noteworthy or not, as [[Company K]] is most assuredly a work that should not be forgotten. March's [[The Bad Seed]] helped start the serial killer genre (it's film adaptation at least), sold millions of copies, was made into a long-running Broadway play and an oscar nominated, golden globe winning film (being remade this year). While [[The Looking-Glass]] is noted for being March's masterpiece, even if it was not a commercial success. I do not know where I am going with this, just thought I would put it out there...
#<nowiki>The weather in Minnesota </nowiki>- was used as an example of a page that didn't exist; some smart aleck created it. :)
 
Thanks for all your past help. - [[User:Diarmada|Diarmada]] 05:19, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
#<nowiki>Belgium/Koninkrijk </nowiki>- serves no obvious purpose
 
:I'm quite impressed with your work, as there are not many people who so thoroughly write articles. While I've never attempted it myself, [[William March]] looks like a great candidate for [[WP:FA|featured status]]. Looking over the articles, I can only see one thing that really needs to be done. The fair use images, such as the book covers, need [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|fair use rationales]]. I'll look over them a little more closely and add a rationale if I get a chance.
#<nowiki>Homepage of Sampath Suranga </nowiki>- some stuff from yesterday's fiasco.
 
:As to the importance ratings, they're not truly a reflection on how noteworthy a subject might be. These are added by participants in WikiProjects who often add a category that reflects how important the article is to the project. For example, the article on [[Taylor Hicks]] is included in the [[:Category:Top-importance Idol series articles|Top-importance category]] for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Idol series|WikiProject Idol series]], whereas it's only deemed as [[:Category:Low-priority biography (musicians) articles|low priority]] for [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians|WikiProject Musicians]]. It doesn't have any affect on the article, just on how likely a project is to improve its content. - '''[[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]]''' [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 22:23, 24 May 2007 (UTC)
#<nowiki>Wikipedians pub </nowiki>- nonsense by a visitor
 
Again, I really do appreciate the words of support and praise, as this is usually a thankless job (as you know!). I would also encourage you to try it once. It is incredibly rewarding, especially if there is enough biographical information available. I was lucky enough that March has a few things written about his life and a ton of other writer's thoughts on him as well. But it does take a long time to get it right, as I am going on a year now with regards to the March page. There are a few more Alabama authors that need a page, namely [[Gustav Hasford]] & [[Augusta Jane Evans|Augusta Evans Wilson]], whom had no page up until a few months ago.
#<nowiki> Barman </nowiki>- more nonsense by the same visitor
 
Featured status (thanks for the mention of the possibility, it made my day!) was always the goal I had in mind for the bio, as it might grant [[William March]]'s work some needed exposure. Honestly though, if I had written something more topical, it would have been a disservice to March's life.
#<nowiki> Intelligent form </nowiki>- yet more nonsense by the same visitor
 
Concerning the book covers, March's ''[[The looking Glass]]'' has been out of print since 1955. [[Company K]] is still copyrighted by the University of Alabama Press and his estate. I would be willing to contact the estate to get permission though, as they are quite accessible.

Thanks again (sincerely), I always look forward to your input - [[User:Diarmada|Diarmada]] 16:49, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
#<nowiki> adamw </nowiki>- no content (note case!)
 
:I've gone ahead and added one of my stock fair use rationales to each book cover; this way they are sure to be safe from deletion. If you do contact his estate, be sure they understand they'll have to release all claims to the image. Unfortunately, granting use on Wikipedia isn't enough for our image policy. See [[Wikipedia:Example requests for permission]].
#<nowiki> Little blue question marks</nowiki>
 
:Since book covers are standard fair use claims, there shouldn't be an issue now that they have rationales. - '''[[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]]''' [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 17:50, 25 May 2007 (UTC)

Awesome, I really appreciate the help, as I know you have very little spare time.
#<nowiki> Wikipedia utilities/Proofreader </nowiki>- an unused, and I would guess unworkable, idea.
About the image use, I spent weeks and weeks trying to locate and finally get in touch with the photographer Jerry Bauer over an image of Joseph Heller. After getting written permission to use the image, it still was not enough...although it was a good experience talking with someone so accomplished, all the work was for naught.
Thanks again, if ever you need any help with anything or see a hole to be plugged, let me know. - [[User:Diarmada|Diarmada]] 00:26, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 
== Need semi-prot for David Irons ==
#<nowiki> Quran of Iblis/Surah 2 </nowiki>- either source text or original writing, no evidence found for this "Quran of Satan" document which it is presenting the text of.
 
Hey AUPilot; OTduff and myself could use a little assistance with protecting [[David Irons]] from a persistant IP vandal who insists on inserting defamatory POV statements into the article. If you check the [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Irons&action=history history] you'll see it's a Bellsouth.net (dialup?) subscriber with a constantly changing IP, so no hope of blocking by address. I'm afraid it's going to take a semi-protect and hope he gives up and goes away when he can't easily continue his attack. Thanks in advance for the help.

== Userboxes problem ==
#<nowiki> Cow story </nowiki>- silliness
 
Hello. I've had this on the project talk page for a while, but since you seem to know what you're doing (unlike me), I'd like to ask you. I have created a ton of new userboxes, and they are all on the new userboxes page. However, should I also put them on the main userboxes category pages (example: my Star Trek userboxes under TV Shows (media) or under Sci-fi) or not?</br>

:You may want to leave a note on the talk page of the userbox page, but unless your boxes are used by multiple people, there's no real need to add them to the other pages. Usually only boxes that are likely to have mass usage (see [[Wikipedia:Userboxes/Education/United States]] for example) are added to the main pages.

Thanks for helping out on the "Movement to impeach Bush" article. I'm new here as well but I'm trying to be a team player. Barnstormer was rewriting the entire lead of the article and making it much longer, repeating information that had already been included farther down in what was already an extremely long article.

:Always happy to give an opinion. It's definitely a weird situation; everything from the "discussion" AfD to the "''The next time you send a message like that, things may not end with a message on your Talk page.''" comment. Obviously you were correct in that the article shouldn't have been AfD'd to start a discussion, but that "''the next time''" comment may not have been a threat. I read it first as a threat that you'd be blocked "next time," but reading it a second time, [[User:llywrch|llywrch]] may have been referring back to the possibility of turning somebody into a vandal/non-contributor. Either way, it was an unfortunate comment but I wouldn't worry too much.

::Perhaps so, and I'm not going to pursue it further. What concerns me most is how the meat of the ANI request was ignored, and I was explicitly told to ''go away''. I used to be a cop, and understand the importance of assuming good faith with others in authority, however the attitude of everyone just seems like they'd rather close ranks than examine each other's conduct.

== Zeeboid block ==
 
Just an observation...
 
You [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Raul654#User:Zeeboid_block asked] Raul654 about his block of Zeeboid for removing the word "controversy" in an article about a Global Warming documentary.
 
It was recently [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:An_Inconvenient_Truth&diff=134392237&oldid=134382385 determined] by a 3rd party (from an RfC) in an analogous article about a Global Warming documentary that "The descriptor "controversial", used in the first sentence of the intro, however, is problematic."The response given to justify a block for a "ridiculous edit" of removing the word "controversy" in accordance with an RfC [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:An_Inconvenient_Truth&diff=134392237&oldid=134382385 suggestion] was:
#Blockee is an anti-science pov pushers on global warming topics ("anti-science" being a matter of opinion, iow a POV)
#Blockee has been blocked for POV pushing. (objective review of the blocks would review that 3 of the 4 were dubious at best, and in the 4th it was justified but the blocker was also completely out-of-line)
#Article's subject is "a propaganda peice" [sic] (POV about an article given by blocker to justify blocking someone for POV edit on the same article)
#Article's subject is "a polemic". (POV about an article...see above comment)
#Edit by Zeeboid was predicted by blocker's colleague (this is either unnecessary information or the premise is that since blocker's fellow guardian of article content predicted the edit must be a blockable offense)
#Edit doesn't stand the "laugh test" (where is this laugh test so others can apply it? the edit in question is identical in alleged POV-pushing to one made by the blocker on the same article 2-weeks prior. It seems that a "laugh test" requires a POV by the tester)
 
I know that once decisions are made on Wikipedia they are rarely reversed, even if reversal is appropriate. I just want to point out the fact that the justification for blocking someone (for a "ridiculous edit" that failed some imaginary "laugh test" for POV-pushing) was purely POV regarding the editor, the article, the subject matter and filled with weasel words as well. -- [[User:Mnyakko|Tony G]] 21:08, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 
:I agree the block is a bit "iffy," which is why I asked Raul for clarification. I also noted that Raul had been editing the article and then reverted an identical edit to the one made by Zeeboid. It appears [[User:Iceage77|Iceage77]], who made an identical edit, remains unblocked. Even with all this, the user has a history of POV pushing, and should have joined the discussion on the talk page. If another admin unblocks Zeeboid, they'd have my support, <s>but I will not do it myself.</s> - '''[[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]]''' [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 21:37, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
::I struck the last part of my response, because if Zeeboid agrees not to edit the article, but instead contribute to the discussion, I'm willing to unblock. - '''[[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]]''' [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 21:39, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
:::Regardless, the intended effect of the baseless block will be the same as the previous ones had with you--creating the illusion of a POV problem while masking their own POV participation. These folks will continue to fabricate blocks based on double standards (like this one) and they will use this "iffy" block rationalized with pure POV as further evidence of the POV problems of this target. Doubt the validity of my claim? Look at how Kim tried to pile using an equally dubious block for "MEAT" (based entirely on voting with 5 minutes of each other on an Afd). And as this pattern of specious blocks goes unstopped it becomes more obvious they have two nefarious purposes: remove dissent from the global warming articles and eventually permanently banning this target. Zeeboid is not the first "opponent" of the Global Warming owners to have this happen.
 
:::In the end, the truly harmful actions (wanton and unchecked admin abuse) are avoided entirely. And while POV-pushing is also harmful, it is a lie to say that Zeeboid is POV-pushing while those opposing him are not, and it is easily demonstrable that only one side of the POV issues gets sanctioned. So, if you care about the credibility of Wikipedia (as much as I hope you do) then take a few moments to look at the history of just that one article in the Global Warming topic. Review the diffs from the article's inception to the "ridiculous edit" that warranted a block being upheld. Take notice of who makes what edits, what the edit summaries and their tone, and decided if it is truly a benefit to punish one side on that article. Reviewing that many diffs won't take more than 45 minutes. -- [[User:Mnyakko|Tony G]] 04:43, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
 
::::45 minutes? That's quite frankly 44 more minutes than I'm willing to give this. If you believe a user is attempting to force his/her POV into an article, address that concern on the talk page. If it continues, open up a [[WP:RfC|request for comment]] and make your case. However, don't scream ''admin abuse!'' simply because the other user happens to be an admin. If s/he has abused the tools, ok, but try discussion first. Also, I'd suggest blanking your user page. It looks like an intentional provocation, and that will do nothing more than make you look like a fool if you actually try to make your case for the wider community. - '''[[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]]''' [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 16:18, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

::AN wasn't really the forum for this kinda comment anyway, and I think I've had some runins with JzG in the past (was he the responding admin for that other disagreement re: semiprot a few wks ago?). One editor took exception to an essay not even written, issued judgement, and attempted to get admins to delete it before it has even been formulated. I must say, I don't really like the direction that Wikipedia has taken as of late, but I feel pretty vindicated that it appears to be a [[WP:SNOW]] of keep. I believe that, with input from the community as a whole, this can be focused more towards what I'm trying to say, which is truely valid and important (IMHO, of course). The picture it paints right now is not nearly ideal or close to the true point... I had ''no'' idea I would receive this onslaught of attention and need to justify it so quickly, or I would have held off on putting it anywhere until it was more properly focused. Is it telling that a few editors (who, incidentally, seem prone to doing exactly what I'm arguing against) are trying so hard to preemptively remove it (censorship even?)? See the [[User talk:Blaxthos/Policy shopping|associated talk page]] for a better understanding of what I'm trying to accomplish. As always, your opinion is well respected and your feedback is actively sought. /[[User:Blaxthos|Blaxthos]] 18:36, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

:Would you suggest any changes or improvements to the essay? You've got my point spot on, but by this point I've probably got my blinders on. Also, may I use your quote within the essay?

Hey, AuburnPilot, I saw you removed two reports from AIV. The top one wasn't adequately warned, but 151.196.57.206 was. Test3, although it's not a last warning, does qualify under our [[WP:BLOCK|blocking policy]], and [[WP:WARN]].

:True, but the final warning was given at 19:01, and the user was reported at 19:02. Granted the user then edited again at 19:04, had he/she already clicked "edit", the user would not have seen the final warning before making the last edit. Note the anon stopped editing, and as blocks are not punitive, I don't believe a block is warranted. - '''[[User:AuburnPilot|<font color="mediumblue">auburn</font><font color="darkorange">pilot</font>]]''' [[User_talk:AuburnPilot|<small>talk</small>]] 19:23, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

If vandalism has stopped, there's really no need to block (think preventative, not punative).
