Article move
Hello Stevietheman, I was just soliciting input for a request for an article move for Talk:The Brycc House. I found this article while making an assessment from a list of needing assessed and it needs a lot of work. This being one of the top priorities. Jahnx (talk) 07:59, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

rollback
Hi, I think I have given you rollback privileges. when looking at diffs, or article histories or your watchlist, you should be able to rollback edits with just one click. This should just be used with simple vandalism or obvious mistake edits; anything else and you should do a manual revert so you can explain the reason. Let me know if it didn't work... the ability to give out rollback access to non-admins is still a new feature. --W.marsh 22:22, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
- Wow, I think you read my mind. I was going to request using it. I definitely see it, and I will only use it according to the rules you state. Cheers! Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 22:58, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Your Dr. Justin McCarthy edit
I fixed up a couple things on Justin McCarthy, that seemed completely biased. It seems that the Armenian propagandists are trying their best to edit the Justin McCarthy article to make him look like some "nationalistic agenda follower", which is just not right. I thought Wikipedia had policies against portraying living person biographies in a negative way. Is anyone even allowed to add "Criticism of his work"? I mean because then you can add criticism of just about anybody. Anyway, I didn't remove anything cited or referenced properly. But be aware that people with Armenian nationalistic agendas are continuously vandalizing that page and semi-vandalizing it to make it seem like Justin McCarthy is some sort of "denialist" or "liar" or "propagandist" when his work is so well supported. I also wanted to thank you for your initial edits at cleaning up that page, it was very honorable of you to help fight vandalism. Quite frankly, I'm not even sure why the heck "Armenia wikiproject" is involved in that article, but obviously not with good intentions. Arsenic99 (talk) 04:54, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong ( Ali Page)
I contact you because you seem to take great interest in the Muhammad Ali page, and trying to keep things straight there. I am dubious about the claimed full text of the quote starting as above. I also think that justifying the quote via a 1994 article ( for something supposedly said in the 1960s) is not an adequate justification. I lived through the relevant period, and remember seeing Ali say the "Ain't got no quarrel with the Vietcong" line on more than one occasion, but not the "they never called me ..." . I do remember Ali speaking about not wishing to take up arms against his "brown brothers", and similar phrases. It is possible that the claimed text was spoken on some other occasion, but if so, someone needs to come up with better evidence that given at present. Messagetolove (talk) 19:32, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
- The full quote is based on a verifiable reference. Unless a counter-reference can be found, it probably needs to stay as-is. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 03:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
W. Marsh
What happened to W. Marsh (talk · contribs)? Up and deleted his userpage and all :( seicer | talk | contribs 06:06, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- I think he just got fed up with a lot of nonsense, with a lot of little things adding up to a big thing, so he up and left. I hated to see him go, especially since its nice to have an admin who's a project member.--Bedford 06:18, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Well, Wikipedia does have a way of becoming rather consuming of one's time and sanity. W.marsh probably just let himself get too caught up in this site. There *are* other things to work on. I myself am mainly just doing maintenance and vandalism reverts on a small set of articles these days. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 15:03, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Further, this is definitely a loss to WikiProject Louisville, as Bedford says. He was definitely very loyal and helpful to its goals. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 15:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
- Yes. I wish there was a way to contact him to let him know that. seicer | talk | contribs 15:22, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

I just got word from W.marsh that for professional reasons he needed to make his Wikipedia work anonymous. He is in law school now. He didn't leave because he was fed up or anything like that, and he will continue to make edits anonymously. So, from now on, we may get to experience the ghost of W.marsh. :) It's cool he's not really gone. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 03:42, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Companies - Health Industry - article request for Pharma Nord
Hi Stevietheman,
I can see that you are a member of the WikiProject Companies subgroup on Health Industry. I've written a draft for an article on Pharma Nord, a Danish pharmaceutical company. As I am employed by the company, I'm contacting you to request having it published as an article, as outlined in the WP:BFAQ. Since Pharma Nord is a Danish company, this could also fall into the area of WikiProject Denmark, but I thought I'd contact you first.
The draft is posted on my talk page. Thank you in advance. (JTrier (talk) 15:19, 3 March 2008 (UTC))
Horse race stubs
Category:Unassessed Louisville articles I listed a bunch of horse racing articles I found in the List of graded stakes at Churchill Downs while I was working on copy editing on Kentucky Oaks. Most of them are stubs and flirt with deleting. Any ideas on what to do?
Also wanted your consensus on the list of winners on the Kentuck Oaks and other horse races. Shouldn't they be listed in a seperate article for the large races like the Oaks and the Kentucky Derby? Then just do a see also tag in the section for the Winners.
Thanks for your help, -Jahnx (talk) 10:47, 9 March 2008 (UTC)
- Regarding stubs, it's a matter of improving them, or they risk deletion, the same as for any other article. I wouldn't sweat it, though, as they are very minor subjects. Regarding lists of winners in the Oaks and Derby articles, I would keep it as-is, as the articles aren't very long and it makes sense to keep access to the winner list convenient. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 13:43, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Ever wonder how many people you run off, Stevie?
I realize you're just a geek with zero life and a computer in front of you and your business revenue must be laughable given your troll-like obsession with guarding the Wikipedia bridge. But I wonder have you ever considered how much damage you cause to this page by preventing other points of view?
Like other victims I've seen you summarily dismiss with your eminent domain philosophy, I too had something relevant, germaine and well written to share.
But if it doesn't jibe with Geek MaGruder's view of the Wikipedia World, then too bad for the rest of us.
So, maybe you got here first and you've got your white knuckles around the proverbial information pipe but know that you've done more harm than good and that even the other sycophants on this page know at heart that you're a petty and unpaid security guard at best.
Congrats!!! Perhaps that will make you feel as important as you often dream of being.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.39.74 (talk • contribs)
- Interesting accusations. Have any examples? I am just trying to ensure that Wikipedia operates as an encyclopedia and covers subjects as an encyclopedia would. I am not surprised that there would be detractors to my or other responsible Wikipedians' efforts. The reality is that I spend very little time here, with only a few articles that I regularly watch. Perhaps one could argue that with the time you spent writing the above diatribe, perhaps it's you without a life? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 15:15, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
- Upon further research, this complainer is the person who tried to add junk content to Muhammad Ali and was stopped in his tracks. This is all about one article, folks, and this anonymous coward's panties are in a twist. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 19:27, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
Just one article, eh?
Steve,
I realize you have to defend the fort to maintain your one purpose in life... but is it really about one article?
I gave up offering content when I saw that Wikipedia is really just a me-first message board and like many projects on the web, has hit it's zenith in enthusiasm and is no longer taken seriously. In fact, it's taken with great suspicion.
And self-centered, mediocre people like you have contributed greatly to that perceptual demise. You think it's Steviepedia.
What's funny about your 'one article' defense is that you know you've had repeated issues with many others. One example was the fact that your beloved, life-sustaining Ali page (which is incomplete, superfluous and poorly written) was locked because of wars that you caused.
I don't have the time in my normal life to survey all that you've done on the Wikipedia site to see where else your petty self-appointed authority has chased others off but we both know it's probably a lot.
You're just a desperate lonely guy who probably lives in his mom's basement who has taken this cause du jour under the fervent hope he gets a barnstar he can tell the other Wizards of Warcraft buddies about.
Maybe try having a girlfriend, a beer, or a life. You might like it.
The fact that you had to 'research' my IP to figure out who else thinks you're a useless moron tells you how important all this is to you, how many people you've pissed off, and how desperate your cyber self image is too.
So, go ahead, delete this quickly, or make another political grade defense of your honor. I don't care. My note has upset you far more than I intended already. And you know I'm right.
Otherwise, be well, Captain Louisville!!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.227.39.74 (talk) 18:26, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Riverwalk/ City of Parks merger
The articles for Riverwalk (Louisville) and City of Parks should be merged, IMO Angry Aspie (talk) 22:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I'm not sure. The Riverwalk is its own entity, and City of Parks is a project name, not necessarily the name of the entity that remains. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 22:17, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
If the Beter accusations are to remain in the article at all, I think we need to include a note to show what kind of source these theories came from. I'd say strike the idea entirely (not a good move; the claim is out there), or retain the "but Beter is a nutbar" aside; both, or neither, but not just "some vaguely reputable guy named Beter said...". --Orange Mike | Talk 20:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
- Why can't readers look up the reference and decide for themselves? Of course, a short description of who Beter is should go in the regular text, but the aside looks weird. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 14:55, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
Riverwalk
Should a new page be created just for the Metro Bike Loop, with the Riverwalk page's contents being moved into it?
Angry Aspie (talk) 02:54, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- Once it's completed, that would probably be a good idea. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 05:02, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
- What should its title be? I think its official name is simply "The Loop". Would "Louisville Metro Loop" be a better name for the article? Angry Aspie (talk) 20:12, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
- It's going to be called the Louisville Loop. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 11:02, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
The contents of the Levee Trail & Riverwalk have been moved into Louisville Loop and those pages now need to be deleted. Censusdata (talk) 01:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

County categories
I've explained to you twice already: it's short because the explanation is short, and it's simple because the explanation is simple. Do not disrupt the process followed nationwide. Nyttend (talk) 20:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- I'm going to have to revert then, since there is no explanation. Templates simply do not belong in article categories. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 14:30, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Please refer to Help:Category#Categorizing_templates_themselves. The very fact that there are guidelines on how to do this tells us something about the presence of templates in categories. Categories are not just for articles; they are for pages generally, and templates are pages. A category is useful not only to a person reading articles, but also to people who maintain groups of articles. Thus, having a county navigational template categorized along with all the related articles for that county does indeed serve a useful purpose, and I don't see a negative side to this for the casual reader. This practice has been pretty widely accepted for some time... Omnedon (talk) 14:46, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- I've been a Wikipedian since March 2004, and this is new on me. It doesn't make any sense. Regular users are not looking up templates in categories. I am going to oppose this for these particular categories because they are not useful in this regard. Just because it's technically allowed doesn't mean it's warranted. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 14:51, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Let me clarify: What's new on me is not that templates can be categorized -- it's that placing templates into article categories as a standard practice is new on me. A template is not an article, and regular users aren't perusing categories to look for templates. Templates are normally organized into categories developed especially for templates, so that editors can still find them. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 15:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- I have stated how it is useful. I'm not simply saying it should be done because it can be done or because it has been done. I'm saying it serves a purpose, because the template is directly related to the county that it helps describe. It may be primarily of use to those people who do a lot of county-level editing, but I don't see any down-side for any other groups. Omnedon (talk) 15:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- Further, a template is not a "group of articles"... it's a organizational/navigational construct. A portal is a group of articles, or portions of articles and it can reasonably go into article categories. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 14:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- I never said that a template was a group of articles; I said that having the template categorized along with the articles is useful to those who maintain that group of articles. It keeps everything together. Omnedon (talk) 15:01, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
The method to get your beliefs on this subject passed is to bring it up for discussion in some relevant place (perhaps Template talk:US county navigation box, perhaps Wikipedia talk:WikiProject U.S. counties). The way to do it is not to change a few typical templates from the usual way to an unusual one. It's not a big issue, and surely there would be no standards violated if consensus decided to go with your position (in which case I would seek to enforce your position), but right now the standard is otherwise. And by the way, note that I provided reasons several times: don't say that I never answered you. Nyttend (talk) 16:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- You have not provided one rationale for it. Not one. This is madness. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 18:42, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- I honestly don't know what you mean by that. Rationale has been provided. Here it is in a nutshell: county navigational templates are naturally related to the counties that they help describe. Therefore each county navigational template has been included in that county's category, along with all of the other pages relating to that county. Omnedon (talk) 19:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- You obviously have read my talk page, since you posted on it. You cannot have read it without having noticed that I have provided reasons multiple times, as well as what is said on your own talk page. Stop deleting useful information without consensus, for it is considered vandalism, and repeated vandalism is blockable. Nyttend (talk) 19:43, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
- A dispute is *not* considered vandalism, and you know it (or should know it). You have not provided one rationale as of yet, except to say something like "that's the way they're all done" or "it's vaguely useful" -- those are *not* reasons. And to top it all off, you and I both have rollback privileges -- but only you are abusing them. I obviously will not violate 3RR. I would advise you to stop playing games and pony up a real rationale for this ridiculous practice of placing templates into article categories. I'm waiting. Stevie is the man!

A symptom of why History of Louisville, Kentucky has been delisted from GA
Says you in History of Louisville: In 1848, Zachary Taylor, resident of Jefferson County from childhood through early adulthood, and a hero of the Mexican-American War, was elected as the 12th President of the United States. He only served sixteen months in office before dying in 1850 from acute gastroenteritis. He is buried in Louisville at Zachary Taylor National Cemetery on Brownsboro Road.
It's wrong to assert that the cause of Zachary Taylor's death was gastroenteritis. The cause of his death, which occurred in far away Washington, D.C., is uncertain. I regard it as a certainty that whatever the cause was, it is irrelevant to the history of Louisville. You may be aware that Taylor's father and Taylor's brothers were big in the cotton industry around Louisville. Cotton agriculture in Louisville's hinterlands was an important driver of Louisville's city economy at that time. Yet Wikipedia's History of Louisville effectively says nothing about this (the word 'cotton' only appears once, and only in a reference to New Orleans not Louisville). Louisville was one of the biggest cotton-bagging cities in the world in Taylor's day. Why? One won't find the answer in Wikipedia's history of Louisville. Instead of developing substance like that, you prefer to make allusion to the fact that Zachary Taylor was catapulted to the presidency from his prominence in the military, a fact that is beside the point for a history of Louisville especially since Zachary Taylor had almost no connection to Louisville in his adult life. As a minor other point, Zachary Taylor National Cemetery being located on Brownsboro Road is too trivial; it properly belongs in the Wikipedia entry for Zachary Taylor National Cemetery, not History of Louisville, imho.
Please assist with bringing this article up to the latest GA standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.147.180.175 (talk) 00:34, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it is obnoxious what LanternLight is doing, but I don't think there is an official policy that states that you cannot remove other people's comments from your own talk page (correct me if I'm wrong). The fact that he is removing yours and my comments is proof enough that he has read them. I reverted him on Rick Barry and I left a comment on his talk page. Even though he removed my comment, he did not re-revert me on the article. I think this edit war on his talk page is pretty pointless. Yes he is being rude, but I don't see any major violation of Wikipedia rules here. Bash Kash (talk) 20:01, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree regarding the rules, but that doesn't stop me from trying to impress upon him that what he is doing is wrong, for human social reasons. What he doesn't violate in rules, he is violating in community. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 01:54, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ok, but I guarantee you that he will revert again the next time he logs on, and then what? You respond with an additional revert, and this becomes one of the lamest edit wars - all for the sake of "human social reasons." Please think for a second how utterly pointless this is. Bash Kash (talk) 02:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- I would advise not blowing this up out of proportion. I stopped after a couple reverts and this is old news to me at this point. On top of that, my position is correct and this individual needed to know the score. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 05:11, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Image:EarXtacy.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:EarXtacy.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Image:EarXtacy.jpg
I've gone ahead and speedied Image:EarXtacy.jpg despite your recent changes to the image description page. I've deleted the image because while you have indicated a change in license, the source image still indicates that it is under a noncommercial-only license, which is incompatible with Wikipedia.
If you are the copyright holder of the image, and have access to the Flickr account, change it there to a Wikipedia-compatible license and then you shouldn't have any problems re-uploading. SchuminWeb (Talk) 03:59, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- What recent changes? Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 04:47, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
- Don't worry, I took care of taking another picture. Image:EarXtacy.JPG should suffice (it's the better of two pics I took of it.)--Bedford Pray 23:13, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Warning vandals
Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Cheeseburger: You may already know about them, but you might find Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. --AW (talk) 19:46, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- Already know about this. I really don't have the time to look up templates for each case. I just revert the vandalism and move on -- all I have time for. Stevie is the man! Talk • Work 22:56, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
