Yes, another one. Another great contributor away. How many Owdkies are necessary in order to substituting one Picaroon? One hundred? Three hundred? Thousand? A million of Owdkies? That is what Wikipedia is losing. Because Wikipedia is losing.

==MfD nomination of [[Portal:Nigeria/News]]==

Okay, here is the thing: like my IP report said, "Please look at this IPs contribs. I've not seen anything like this. All are reverts of a user's edits and are happening very quickly." I was hoping to enlist support from an admin (you, perhaps, but apparently not as you are now admonishing me for reporting "good users"). Obviously something strange is afoot. Why don't you try to AGF sometime instead of coming down against me on my talk page after I report what is '''obviously''' an unusual situation to you?<em>&mdash;<font color="Indigo">[[User:Gaff|Gaff]]</font> ^{<small><b><font color="MediumSlateBlue">[[User_talk:Gaff|ταλκ]]</font></b></small>}</em> 23:36, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Portal:Nigeria/News ]] and please be sure to [[WP:SIG|sign your comments]] with four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>).

::Well, thanks for telling me about the incident board. That will be helpful in the future. As far as this IP is concerned, another admin has blocked it. I guess that I assumed that when admins responded to alerts on the AIV board they would actually read the reasons why the report is being made an do something more than a "ten second scan." Perhaps realize that not every case of vandalism is as simple as somebody writing ''yo mama'' on the featured article. My mistake. <em>&mdash;<font color="Indigo">[[User:Gaff|Gaff]]</font> ^{<small><b><font color="MediumSlateBlue">[[User_talk:Gaff|ταλκ]]</font></b></small>}</em>

:Belated follow-up on the "Sega chase". BTW, thank you for coming to my defence... it was happening so quick I didn't have time to go to AiV or even fill the other "confused :)" editor in on what was really happening. Since you're onto what SEGA is up to... Based on what "typical" edit history I've seen from him today I believe he is editing from IP 66.190.156.221. Not sure if a new case is being drawn up or if that IP addy is up for rcu but I believe it should be. If you have time could you tell admin Wiki alf that a 156.34 IP addy actually got a warning for something. I am sure it'll give him quite a good chuckle and he will hunt me down and tease me for it :D. Again thanks for stepping in this evening. SEGA's sporadic "good" edits are always outweighed by his bad(copyvio) ones. And he must be stopped whenever possible. Have a nice day!

== To be fair... ==

I notice that you previously deleted this template under CSD:T1. I fail to see how it is divisive or inflammatory, and in any case CSD:T1 is (effectively) defunct now. I invite you to restore the template; otherwise I will list at DRV. [[User:Stifle|Stifle]] ([[User talk:Stifle/wizard|talk]]) 09:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

==Deletion review for [[:User:Karmafist/barn award]]==

==Second Life screenshots==

An editor has asked for a [[Wikipedia:Deletion review#User:Karmafist/barn award|deletion review]] of [[:User:Karmafist/barn award]]. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedy-deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. <!-- This originally was from the template {{subst:DRVNote|PAGE_NAME}} ~~~~ -->[[User:Smallman12q|Smallman12q]] ([[User talk:Smallman12q|talk]]) 21:36, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Regarding [[:Image:Banhammer.jpg]], Second Life policy generally lets users retain copyright over virtual things, such as their character design, that they create. If this had been uploaded with an allegation of ownership of copyright by the uploader, would this image have been retained? I imagine there have been prior discussions of this. Can you point me to any? -[[User:Nardman1|N]] 16:19, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

==Deletion review for [[:User:Karmafist/son of jimbo award]]==

:Yes, it could definitely be retained if it had been under a free license. Specifically, it is the wording "and the copyright for it is most likely held by the company or person that developed the game" which is relevant. I'm not familiar with the game, but if the game does allow users the copyright of images they create, and image creator {{user|Dale Glass}} agrees to release it under a free license, then the image is fine.

::Should we copy [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Second_Life] from Commons? The only objection I could see with this is Wikipedia generally frowns on ''source'' tags, although this one could be useful because it clarifies the fact that making a screenshot does not create a derivative work. -[[User:Nardman1|N]] 18:26, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

:::I'm going to [[WP:BOLD]] be bold and do it. As for this particular image, not much can be done with it due to the uncertain copyright status. -[[User:Nardman1|N]] 18:43, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

::Very odd. I created the tag for the second life screenshots and within hours not only did the uploader clarify the license info but he posted HERE when previously he had only 3 separate edits. Must be a doppelganger. -[[User:Nardman1|N]] 04:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

:::Meh, when concrete evidence of wrongdoing is lacking, we should assume good faith.

:::When we lack clarification, and can not reach a conclusion, playing it safe is the ''best we can do''. The article is currently undergoing deletion review, so let that conclude. If the article is restored, then this whole discussion is moot. If the article is kept deleted or re-deleted then it would be inappropriate to leave it in a user sandbox anyway. I understand where you're coming from, but I'm not going to restore the subpage, because it is common practice to mandate full attribution.

For being such a beautiful person and great Wikipedian,<br />

:::::The dealings with sites that copy our content, at [[Wikipedia:Mirrors and forks]], is good example of where we request full attribution, not just "from Wikipedia."

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]]

Following a [[Wikipedia:Village pump (proposals)/suspend sysop rights of inactive admins|community discussion]] in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative privileges of users who have been inactive for one year, meaning administrators who have made neither any edits nor any logged actions in over one year. As a result of this discussion, your administrative privileges have been removed pending your return. If you wish to have these privileges reinstated, please post to the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard]] and the userright will be restored per the [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats#Resysopping|re-sysopping process]] (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions).

Until December 30, you can file a request at [[WP:BN]] for review by the crats. Thank you.

==Your admin status==

Hello. I'm a [[:m:stewards|steward]]. A new [[:m:Admin activity review|policy]] regarding the removal of "advanced rights" (administrator, bureaucrat, etc.) was adopted by [[:m:Requests for comment/Activity levels of advanced administrative rights holders|community consensus]] recently. According to this policy, the stewards are reviewing of administrators' activity on wikis with no inactivity policy.

You meet the inactivity criteria (no edits and no log actions for 2 years) on ha.wikipedia, where you are an administrator. Since hawiki does not have an own administrators' rights review process, the global one applies.

If you wish to retain your rights, you should notify the community that the stewards sent you this information about your inactivity to discuss the matter. Following your community's discussion, if the community then wants that you keep your rights, please contact the stewards at [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard]], and link to the discussion of the local community, where they express their wish to continue to maintain the rights, and demonstrate a continued requirement to maintain these rights.

We stewards will evaluate the responses. If there is no response at all after approximately one month, we will proceed to remove your administrative rights. In cases of doubt, we will evaluate the responses and will refer a decision back to the local community for their comment and review. If you have any questions, please contact us on [[:m:Stewards' noticeboard]].

Best regards, --<small>[[User:MF-Warburg|MF-W]]</small> 22:42, 26 October 2013 (UTC)

Articles for deletion Ken Giami

Hello Picaroon I saw your profile on the list of wikipedians. It says you are interested in Africa. Please I need your help, I started an article on Ken Giami and it has been nominated for deletion on grounds of notability ... Ken Giami From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Giami</ref>

The notability criteria clearly states as I read, that People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published[4] secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other,[5] and independent of the subject.[6]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28people%29</ref>

I have provided sources of reference that fulfill the above criteria for notability.

The guidelines also states that If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability.[7]<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28people%29</ref>

I have also provided multiple independent sources and the page has been edited by other users with references added.

I would like to know the next step for getting the article off the deletion nomination list. There is a talk page on the article <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Ken_Giami</ref>

Please I need your guidance on moving to the next stage of getting the article listed [[User:Bomabenjy2|Bomabenjy2]] ([[User talk:Bomabenjy2|talk]]) 15:40, 16 December 2015 (UTC)

== In urgent need for Armenian language help ==

Dear sir,

I have been a Wikipedia reader/contributor for a while but this is not a request/question regarding Wikipedia issues.

I'm an Iranian classical singer and we have decided to sing an Armenian piece composed by Vardapaet Komitas, named: ″Sertik malul, mi mna″. We are in urgent need of a native Armenian who can give help us with the pronunciation of the piece. May I send you the lyric and the parts that we are unsure of the correct pronunciation please?

Or can I ask you to introduce me an Armenian person who can dedicate a part of their time to help us do this? Regards [[User:Princilll|Princilll]] ([[User talk:Princilll|talk]]) 07:05, 15 May 2016 (UTC)
