User talk:Madchester/Archive05

clocks

the page had been marked as a copyvio for three weeks, and as coldplaying.com states nowhere that they took the text from wikipedia but instead says that the site is copyrighted by them, what else should i have done in that situation? after almost a month, nobody had done a thing to make it clear that the page wasn't a copyvio, and the deletion was done according to policy. the other "complaint" was not a complaint, but a question, as the user leaving the comment had no familiarity with wikipedia copyright policy and was curious as to why that particular page had been deleted. (That page should have been deleted.)

Sorry if this sounds snippy, but i did nothing against policy in this situation. There was absolutely no way for someone to know that the text was taken from wikipedia, as you didn't leave your note on the talk page until you recreated the article . . . I am always as careful as possible not to delete pages unnecessarily; following up on notes on the talk page, deleting and then restoring a version without any copyvio in the history, etc. but there was no note on the talk page, no possibility of cleaning the history, no reference at coldplaying.com, and ultimately nothing to lead me to believe that the article was clean . . .

So sorry it got deleted, but again, i'm really not sure what else i could have done.

cheers

Adam and Andrew

I do not like being ignored, especially as you seemed so quick to disagree with my article, now you can't even be bothered to muster up a reply.

Archive 04, Number 21.

I would appreciate your comments.

Will 11:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Once again, the results of the Adam and Andrew Article for Deletion process yielded a near unanminous decision to delete the article. I didn't vote in the poll, I simply reviewed the votes and opinions to close the poll and delete the article. Once again, if you believe that the article is worthy of un-deletion, then submit it to Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Otherwise, belittling administrators for deleting your article (per comments on Talk:Icy_Hot_Stuntaz), despite the obvious AfD results of your Adam and Andrew article can be considered a personal attack, which is not allowed on Wikipedia. If you belive that the Icy Hot Stuntaz article is non-notable, then you can bring up a 2nd AfD, if you please. Attack the content, not other users. --Madchester 14:48, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

I have nothing against the article for the Icy Hot Stuntaz, I also believe that this deserves to stay on Wikipedia. Everything here (aside from the 'made up one day in school' type articles, which I can't remember the accurate name of), in my mind, deserves to stay, as, if it happened, it should be in an encyclopedia.

Adam and Andrew in particular had a significant effect on the description of the Emo, which had been widely spread throughout the Internet.

My comments on the Icy Hot Stuntaz talk page were in no way an attempt to belittle you, because the criticism was a somewhat emo example of sarcasm directed at the method in which articles on Wikipedia are moderated, not specifically to you.

crowscream

could you please explain to me what your reasons are for deleting my report on the aaron donahue article. the greatest concern about the aaron article in the first place was that he wasnt sourched and not notable enough. so i took the time to write why i believe he is. this has nothing to do with starting the article on another page, if you read through the text on the talkpage you will clearly see that i am trying to verivy aaron by providing legimite links.

in other words i am trying to sourch him, and provide a list of his accomplishments. if i cant get this through the wiki board, i will have to wait for aarons book to come out before i start another page on him.

Why do you keep following ed dames, i know your one of his lackies. i keep sending messages to the varies parties involved in the deletions, but they dont answer me. i wonder if they feel guilty.

In regards to your sockpuppet warning, I also believe 67.101.128.103, 67.100.49.172, 67.101.128.6, and just about every IP in the 67.*.*.* range in the edit history of the Da Vinci Code is the same guy. But not in 66.*.*.* range, those are likely User:Rodgerbales, who I have talked to and has complied with my requests and DOES NOT start edit wars that violate the 20 reverts rule. --M1ss1ontomars2k4 00:21, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Hganesan's block

Hi, I noticed that you blocked User:Hganesan for an extra 48 hours. The way I understand the blocking mechanism, since you blocked for a longer length while the previous block was active, it won't take effect. You have to unblock and then reblock for the desired length. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 03:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Well, this doesn't matter now. Hganesan decided to personally attack another contributor, so I have restarted the 48 hour block from scratch. The block probably should have been longer, but it probably won't matter. Thanks anyway. --PS2pcGAMER (talk) 05:48, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

User: Hganesan

I saw you banned him previously. He's supposed to be banned for a week. He got his IP unbanned from another admin[1]. He's back to editing wars and posting pov. Reverting back to his old edits. Basically, destroying Steve Nash/Kobe Bryant pages again. [2] -EW

User:12.134.204.214

Thanks for blocking him. I notice that you blocked the IP for 24 hours which I fear will be insufficient. I believe this user is almost certainly a sockpuppet of User:Hganesan mentioned above. The pages and selections edited, comments and styles are essentially the same. The username and a number of IPs were blocked on May 19 and he seems to have found a new IP. I have added [3] and [4] to document this. Simishag 07:47, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

yup, he's returned. Added [5] to document this time. Thanks in advance. Simishag 23:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah this guy is really going overboard he just posted this on my page :'Duhon all that hganesan and I are doing are posting articles and putting on relevant facts that you are deleting, and you are loving steve nash like no other. Something should be done to you.; I'm not saying thats a threat but its pretty close, funny thing is i never even edited any of his Nash stuff.

Please unblock me

I am apparently caught in an AOL "wide net" block for the last 3 hours. I am trying to edit one of the pages I created. It says you are looking for a vandal with IP address 152.163.100.68--Hokeman 13:37, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Buondelmonte being blocked?

My bona-fide Opera Project friend Buondelmonte is apparently being blocked by you. Maybes an IP mix-up? Can you please let me know what is happening? Thanks. - Kleinzach 16:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I need to know his IP address to be able to unblock it. Your friend is probably using a shared IP address and another vandal was probably using it yesterday. --Madchester 17:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Buondelmonte tells me he is on AOL. Does that help to explain what has happened? If so what advice can we give him? He is not an overly 'technical' user. - Kleinzach 09:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

it's very difficult to remove a block, if I don't know your friend's IP address. I've been working on a rash of vandalism patrols lately and I don't want to release an IP used by a blocked vandal editor.... I don't want to release the IP addresses of such editors prematurely. --Madchester 00:04, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Funny

Nice trying to accuse me of vandalism when I have already stated the reason for removing the statement. I didn't remove a section, I removed a statement, so you can atleast get that straight. Also, try providing the direct link to Rotten's verifiability, because the page you listed doesn't talk about Juggernaut. Also, pay attention to the Talk Page, but you were out voted when it comes to waiting until Friday to post the bit of trivia. By adding the continuously, after it has been agreed upon that it should wait till it can be verified by the movie itself, you are in fact vandalizing the page. Bignole 23:42, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Again I would suggest reviewing the sources provided; which have in turn also been referenced by RottenTomatoes, more or less the internet standard in film reviews. It is a poor-faith deletion to remove information independently verified by multiple reviewers on separate websites. --Madchester 23:53, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Content dispute

Madchester, I'm going to unblock Bignole. I understand that you feel this information is sufficiently verified for inclusion, but that does not make its removal by those who feel otherwise 'vandalism'. Bignole was clearly operating based on his belief that the official theatrical release could be different from pre-screenings. I have no idea how accurate that is, but his actions were clearly based on reason rather than a deliberate attempt to damage the encyclopedia (i.e. 'vandalism'). Further, you violated 3RR in your edit war with him. That is itself a blockable offense... and blocking someone while engaged in a content dispute with them is one of the very few things admins are specifically precluded from doing. Please, let's all take a step back and find some way to resolve this peacefully. Waiting three days seemed like a reasonable compromise, but failing that... it ought to be possible to say something like, 'While the movie has not officially opened yet it has been reported that there is a scene where blah blah blah...'. Gets the desired info into the article, but preserves the disclaimer that the final release version has not yet been seen. Acceptable? --CBDunkerson 00:36, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I saw that you had edited the text to use 'early reports indicate' wording similar to what I suggested above. I think that makes sense. Hopefully it will be good enough for everyone until Friday. --CBDunkerson 01:13, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

B.J. Averell

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from B.J. Averell, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

Don't use rollback...

...to revert things that aren't vandalism. Sasquatch t|c 03:04, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm rather disappointed in editors making a dispruption to make a point. Last I checked, there's never been a precedent of posting indvidual scores of games in Best-of-7 championship series, whether it was the World Series, NBA Finals, or Stanley Cups. I can see that you're from Edmonton, but you shouldn't let your personal biases get in the way of editing on Wikipedia. --Madchester 03:16, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

It wasn't a point. And what does that have to do with you using rollback? To answer your question: the round robins of the World Cup games surely cannot be that much more important than the games of a Stanley Cup final. And I don't even see how adding scores to a template with scores already on it can possibly be interpreted as disruptive. Just watch the use or rollback, do it manually and add an edit summary. Cheers. Sasquatch t|c 03:23, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

And if you noted

I didn't re-add it after said explaination, no need to make block threats -- Tawker 04:03, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

World Cup status on ITN - Coin flip dispute resolution

These daily reversions for and against the World Cup scores are getting rather ridiculous. The fact is both sides have valid arguments, and you can't really say that one side is more "correct" than one another. Personally I don't like how editors are taking sides when these edit wars are not conducive to Wikipedia's daily operations.

I would suggest a simple coin flip to decide whether the scores stay or not. It's a rather standard procedure for dispute resolution. This is probably the best way to resolve the matter once and for all. --Madchester 00:39, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

After a succession of blocks by numerous admins over the last month, User:Hganesan has returned yet again to Steve Nash and Kobe Bryant. I don't want to waste a bunch of time edit warring with him again, so I'm instead going to try a new tactic. I'd like to get as many NBA editors as possible together on this, so that we can make a single unified push to the appropriate admins. I am at a loss for other tactics we can use to avoid his continued attempts to push his agenda and his unwillingness to compromise.

Knights Of Cydonia

Hi there. You've now removed the album artwork thumbnail from the single Knights Of Cydonia twice. Can I assume you just didn't read the rest of the article? It discusses the album, in particular the artwork, and its connection to the single. This makes it fair use, for the purpose of illustrating the discussed record. It's an essential illustration for the article to make sense. BigBlueFish 14:59, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

So you removed it again, this time citing WP:IMAGE and WP:SONG. Now I have read both these project pages and am no closer to understanding why it's there. Overcrowding? It's the only block element in the article besides the infobox. Just because the average song article shouldn't have album artwork on it just by dint of it being on the album, doesn't mean when there is a connection to be discussed that it shouldn't be there. Taking away the image make the article no better, no more legal and in fact harder to follow. So why? BigBlueFish 12:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

The guidelines indicate that (song) articles should not be crowded with excessive photos. The Knights of Cydonia article only contains one written section with less than 500 words. It's impractical per the guidelines above (and WP:MoS) to place so many photos within such a short article. Contrast this with the "Get Back" featured article: multiple sections and a word count of over 1800 words. Suffce to say, additional photos to support the text are welcome. --Madchester 21:09, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

The photo would be the only non-meta image in the article. 108 of the 255 words in the article are written about it. How does this not only not support the text, but overcrowd the article? BigBlueFish 20:40, 18 June 2006 (UTC) Incidentally, Get Back (song) includes a copy of the artwork for Let It Be (album) despite having no relevance to the song except that it appeared on that album. Its only real value is to add a little instant context in the huge mass of text. To me it puts the discussed image in perspective. BigBlueFish 21:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Again, please do not re-insert the album cover, per WP:SONG and WP:IMAGE guidelines and especially Wikipedia:Image use policy's official guidelines.

Wikipedia's Image use policy states that Once there is enough text to support the image, any contributor is free to shift the image back into the article. Given the word count for the song is less than 500 words, there is no need to overcrowd the article with excess images. See featured articles for examples such as "She Loves You", or "Layla" for appropriate usage of additional photos in music-related articles. These articles are over 1500 words in length and the images provide appropriate breaks to the text and provide complimentary information.

Please adhere to official policy as outlined by Wikipedia. There are already two wiki-links to Black Holes and Revelations which is more than sufficient for users wishing to view the album cover. Thanks. --Madchester 21:27, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Civility My Aunt Fanny

If I were uncivil, I'd be saying much worse things about you. I'm not really sure why you're so insistent about removing things like noting that the models cited their modeling career for not going through with the head shaving, or why you're wanting to draw your little line in the sand over including the "Frankenberry" nickname but if it makes you feel better to leave it out then by all means I hope you're satisfied, since I have no intention of getting into an edit war with you over it.

One thing you might want to keep in mind, when deleting people's material because they're unable to offer you things like episode numbers when I've yet to see a similar demand for episode numbers in response to any other edit, is that just because you don't happen to remember something doesn't mean that it's unverified.

Have a nice day.

Otto4711 06:19, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

According to Wikipedia:Reliable sources, edits with no reliable references can be removed by any editor.

Piano Rock

Hey Madchester What sort of sources would you like to see quoted on the Piano Rock page? Most of the info comes from the pages of the referenced artists. I agree the "notable piano rockers..." section is a little bit subjective and has expanded from its original list - the beauty of wikip I guess. Originally I got the notable artists from allmusic.com - would this be enough of a reference? (Westius 09:51, 22 June 2006 (UTC))

Sport on ITN

Well I knew that the Champions League Final had been included and did research. The Cricket World Cup as I said should be included as it a World Championship. The Heiniken Cup and the Champions League I didn't actually mention and they should have been included being inter-continental Championships. What I referred to was that if events such as the winners of the NBA are to be included should say Chelsea winning the Premiership or Liverpool winning the FA Cup be included to? Show me the edition where that happened. World and inter-continental champions fine but not national, it simple not world news.

block of User:Mathewignash

Looks like there is a bit of history with this, so if the user understands the problems of removing the tags I cannot easily tell, so I've pointed them to WP:NOR etc. For the removal of the PROD tag, I'm a bit confused by your action. PROD is uncontested deletion if the user wants to contest it (for any reason) they can do so, WP:PROD#Contesting_a_proposed_deletion, it is not a fix this article or it gets deleted process. In my understanding if someone removes the tag and it is still felt that the article should be deleted then it should go through the normal WP:AFD process. --pgk^(talk) 16:55, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The user's been removing multiple tags raning from PROD warnings to {{unsourced}} ones on multiple TF pages. Just before your series of comments on his talk page, he had also removed a series of image licensing warnings as well as my earlier tag removal warnings on his talk page. --Madchester 21:21, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Oh look! References!

More references than most other articles on television shows including at least a dozen other Alias articles. Hope you're appeased.

Cleanup Template

My bot, User:Alphachimpbot has just modified some of your cleanup templates. I just figured I would tell you... {{Cleanup|MONTH YEAR}} is not a valid template. Use {{Cleanup-date|MONTH YEAR}}. Just figured that I would tell you. --Alphachimp ^talk 16:56, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Tech Specs and copyright violations

What part of copyright is violated by mentioning a tech spoec number? I can understand it's not good to mention the whole text of the Tech Spec, but the 8 numbers? If I say starscream has 77979877 or somesuch, is that a violation? I didn't think anyone could copyright an 8 digit number - so mentioning it isn't a violation. user:mathewignash

Ransack Page's untimely deletion

Archived Debate

Hey Madchester. Knowing the your an admin and the you probably close debates sometimes, what is the code the makes a gray box and says "The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.". I know if you hit edit you can see the markup, but I'm pretty sure no one does this. I couldn't find any template, nor could I find it on the AFD page. So what's the template?TeckWiz^TalkContribs_Guestbook 14:08, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Transformers sources.

Hi there. I'm a user with an interest in Transformers and was wondering why many articles had been cited as unsourced. I can't see anything that would be classed as needing a source (apart from the odd tech spec). Maybe I just can't see it but if you could post what it is occuring across these articles that needs sourcing maybe we can fix it. SMegatron 16:37, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Could you answer, please? SMegatron 20:46, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

T:DYK change

this change by you [6] probably could have been mentioned somewhere if there was an issue, perhaps on WPT:DYK]? I see it got reverted per current DYK policy. Thanks! ++Lar: t/c 01:01, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism on Legend of Zelda pages

Why are you adding to the vandalism on the Legend of Zelda pages?
What good is it to remove information from the article?
As an administrator, I hope you know better then get fedged up by a bunch of deleters. That's all they do. They don't contribute, they annoy and vandalise.
Besides the fact that not everything, like media, can be added to the articles, WikiPedia wants it's sources cited, thus should they be. And most certainly when links like IGN are all over the place, there needs to be sources that correct them. On both Tingle RPG and Twilight Princess, two of the games that are vandalised by the others, they are giving incorrect information. Talk about reliability.
I hope we don't need to see this go wrong. I don't want lies and incorrect information on the Zelda pages. That's just a thing of me, and I don't want to see that being rediculously vandalized by people who don't know what they're talking about and do nothing but annoy, vandalize and delete, rather then contribute something for a change. Hyrule 19:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Please stop introducing material from your personal websites per WP:NOT and WP:SPAM. Thanks --Madchester 19:10, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Please answer my issues rather then contributing to this violation. You are an administrator, you have your resposibilities. Hyrule 19:21, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Must I contact another administrator? Or could you have the decency to answer? Hyrule 21:48, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Twilight Princess reverts

Please discuss the current Twilight Princess reverts here before reverting again, thanks. -- ReyBrujo 20:06, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Orphaned fair use image (Image:IveBeenExpectingYou.gif)

This media may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:IveBeenExpectingYou.gif. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. meco 17:33, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Did you know?

On July 8, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Polaris Music Prize, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Madchester-Please block/warn 208.187.86.74 , the person that has changed 12 episodes in The Amazing Race 9, to 13 a number of times. As I saw on his talk page, you already blocked him once for it. Please do it again. Thanks- TeckWiz^TalkContribs_Guestbook 03:05, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Thilo Savage

It seems as if the general consensus on both the discussion and deletion page of the article is to bring it back. There was never a good reason to delete it in the first place. -- 4.89.184.26 14:18, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

At the time of it's AFD (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thilo Savage), the site was non-notable (low Google search relevance) and there was votespamming from anonymous users to keep the site up. When regular editors vote for deletion and a host of anonymous first-timers vote to keep it, the notability of the site is seriously in doubt. --Madchester 15:14, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I Am Not Canadian

Could you please explain why the lyrics in I Am Not Canadian are copyrighted, whereas those for I Am Canadian have been displayed without any objection? Quiensabe 04:32, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I just looked at this. I was not aware of this policy, although it does seem rather petty, particularly as words can be wikified. As an alternative, however, I shall find external links that display the lyrics in full, without any complaints from the copyright holder. Quiensabe 04:39, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
