My wheel-warring policy:

Admins: If you see me make a logged action that you think I should not have done, I will not consider it wheel-warring if you undo it without asking for my permission. However, if I marked the action as being done after running a checkuser query, or as part of a sockpuppet investigation, you should ask me or another checkuser before undoing it. In any case, if you do revert one of my actions, I would appreciate it if you tell me that you did so. Thanks!

Donscalos

I've posted an article yesterday about Paul Roche The man died in 2007 and was a very important Poet and writer, translated classic Greek tragedies that had never been before. Not to mention that he was part of one of the most important art group in England in the 20th century. He's a published author and still after his death has lot of followers and fans. Yesterday I tried to replace an article and it is just unfair that it was deleted. Paul Roche (the writer poet) is mentioned as a reference in several articles on Wikipedia but the results of that research is Paul Roche, young sportsman from Ireland with a text as small as his success and importance in the world.

This isn't great and makes the content on several articles irrelevant( Like the one about Duncan Grant). Also it is morally important to bring up the most important information first in an encyclopedia. If my cat was called Barrack Obama and had killed 50 mice I wonder if it would be great to have "Barrack hussein Obama president of the United States of America since 2009" as research keywords because my puss would be taking the space. Well it's a about the same thing Between Paul Roche, an amazing Poet, an acclaimed published writer who wrote a movie script "Oedipus the King" where Orson Welles played and an unknown young man from deep deep Ireland who won a few competition at an obscure sport in his local villages. I don't think the one that comes up first should be the sportsman. Also the content of his article is very poor like his career that still really hasn't taken off. I think Wikipedia should be culture orientated and not become a blogging platform for anyone who fancy's himself as part of an encyclopedia. Even if I might post this article in several blogs :)

Also, as an answer to your comment I wanted to say that the author of this article gave me full rights to publish her text. She actually wrote it for the telegraph not the opposite. She's a writer herself. There's no right violation and I can prove it.

My questions are. How do I make sure that this article won't be deleted after 5 minutes again and could we ask the sportsman to add "Paul Roche Hurling player" ? since his tiny career in hurling is not very important compared to the other Paul Roche's achievements over 91 years and that the nice article I'm trying to post might be important for lot of students in literature and classics. Also everytime someone will mention the important Paul Roche (people are unlikely to write in an article Paul Donald Roche (poet)) on Wikipedia he will find that unimportant person instead. It will be a bad thing for culture I think. I won't let go about this one, it just doesn't make any sense.

Apparently there was more than one contributor to this page (so G7 doesn't apply), and Scorpion0422 (talk · contribs) requests that it be restored. Could you look into this? Thanks. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 03:11, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Hmm. I was deleted as part of a deletion discussion in the past, so I don't know. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 04:53, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

It was deleted as the result of an afd, but since then the person has received several more directing credits and was nominated for an Emmy Award (it should be noted that I was the user that originally nominated it for deletion). -- Scorpion⁰⁴²² 16:19, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Logger9's glass state article

You just restored that article. Did _you_ read and understand it ? Could you explain why a text on the glassy state starts with a long section about the viscosity of simple liquids ?

Image not displaying in article

Hi J.delanoy,

Could you help me to find out why an image I like to embedd in my latest article 'Colin Lester' doesnt display? I uploaded it in wiki commons and the image is named: Colin_Lester.png but when addin it at this section

{{Infobox musical artist |Img = |Name = Colin Lester | Img = Colin Lester.png | Img_capt = Colin Lester | Img_size = 147

it only displays this: File: Colin Lester.png

would you know if there is a time delay between uploading to wiki commons and the image displaying in the article or did i miss anything here? One thing is that if I perform a search in commons, it also shows no search results... would you know why?

this is the image i try to add:

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Colin_Lester.PNG

could you edit the article Colin Lester in wikipedia and add this image for me? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Knersi1 (talk • contribs) 17:29, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Civility??

I don't believe it is necessary for this individual to speak to me in this manner. Here[1] and here[2]. I've asked for a reference and in response I get;

• ".. I mean for fuck's sake, don't you see the double standard here."
• "Tell me, what is there to reference? Your lack of knowledge of a basic English word? Your blatant dislike for me and obviously, my people?"

Followed by the deletion of a reference.[3]

And this statement[4];

• "To conclude, I've decided that I truly don't give a fuck, I won't revert the "results" on this page anymore. There you fucking go."

Unknown edit

Hi...

I just arrived at wikipedia and discovered a message waiting for me. Apparently you reverted a change that had been made to a page on wikipedia (earl of something, I believe).

Just letting you know that I have never made a change to anything on wikipedia.

Keep up the earnest and unending patrol to weed out those confounders of truth. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.157.27.196 (talk) 01:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Help please

I changed my username yesterday and not I'm not autoconfirmed. Is there anyway you as an admin can change this sts so I can use twinkle and edit semi protected pages? There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 17:42, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but there is no way for an administrator to grant autoconfirmed status to a user who does not already have it. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 17:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Is it because you are still logged in on your old account? - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 17:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

I had it until yesterday, How long do I have to wait until it forwards my watchlist and contrib history to the new one? I don't want to lose 3000 contribs. How do I log out of the old one? it has a redirect. There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 17:47, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

It is because you are still logged in on your old account. You see, that edit to this talk page came from Special:Contributions/HellinaBucket. Your new user name is User:Hell in a Bucket, log in as that and you'll have autoconfirmed back, along with your watchlist and contribs - Kingpin¹³ (talk) 17:45, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

User talk:Wiki libs

Hi there. It's not really any of my business, but I was wondering why you made this reversion. I couldn't think of any reason, nor was there any explanation in the edit summary, but I've seen you around enough to know that you don't really go around vandalising talk pages. There's still plenty for me to learn about what's going on behind the scenes here, so I just wanted to see what was up. Thanks. — Bdb484 (talk) 02:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

I blocked the user who made that edit, so afterwords, I went through and undid all his edits. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:13, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

Sorry about the mistake on the abuse filter. I think I fixed the problem now and am monitoring the latest change a little more closely. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:30, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

It's not a problem. You know enough to actually do something about it, I only know enough to know that that particular change was the one I needed to undo :P J.delanoy^gabs_adds 05:40, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

You did the right thing. =) The latest revision is better behaved. No false positives anymore, though I suspect that it will not be as effective in the long run. The change probably makes things a little more dense to read, but it is not going to trip over so much stuff now. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

why vandalism?

I was just posting as TruthPrevailsAgain and you blocked me and I don't understand why. My edits weren't vandalism at all, they were made in good faith. For example: The BOOMj article should say it targets Boomers and Jonesers. The references that were there clearly show that it shoulod include Jonesers. The 'about us' section of their website specifically says they target Boomers and Jonesers. The GenY page should read Boomers and Jonesers, as many artilces on this topic indicate. Why did you think I was vandalising? And why did you immediately block me 20 seconds after warning me? I follow this topic, and saw that another editor was blocked yesterday, and I'd like to help make these pages accurate. Would you please lift this block? Thank you.Blonde field (talk) 17:29, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Could you please respond to this request? I'd like to make some edits but am concerned that you may mistakenly think that I'm vandalising. The edits I'll make are in good faith, based on my knowledge of these topics.Blonde field (talk) 19:12, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey J, I hate to bother you, but would you mind dialing down the protection on my user page from full to semi? I think that the furor has passed and full protection should no longer be necessary. Thanks again, t'shael^chat 19:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Shameless questionspam

It recently occurred to me to get the local timezones of various administrators that I've dealt with and know I can work with in the future, and to concentrate that information in one page instead of my memory. Because the relevant page is linked from my userpage, anyone will be able to find a list of the most useful admins. It so happens that you're the latest victim. If you feel like revealing your timezone (not exactly the most dangerous secret in the world), you can reply here, here or here (the latter by actually adding yourself to the table). If you object, simply reply here or here (be sure to specify if you're objecting to the concept itself, or just the timezone). Because this is shameless questionspam, thanks in advance for whatever option you choose. —LedgendGamer 20:42, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Question re:vandalism

Hi - I know this is an inappropriate edit, but does it really classify as vandalism? Would it be appropriate to use Huggle to remove it? Shiva (Visnu) 02:04, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Technically no, but it's easier that way. However, with stuff like that you have to be very careful that you don't violate 3RR. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 02:10, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

A Little Help?

User:Delicious carbuncle has started a post on ANI about User:Allstarecho. I boldly closed the post and told both users to back away from each other and find their corners of Wiki. Something that User:Tanthalas39 (an involved admin) said as well, but couldn't enforce.

Delicious carbuncle, instead of following the unenforceable advice of myself and Tanthalas39, he wants an "uninvolved admin" to tell him to back away from the dead horse and the ANI post and leave Allstarecho alone. Would you mind doing that? If you wish not to get in the middle, I will completely understand. - NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks very much :) - NeutralHomer • Talk • 02:30, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

That isn't an accurate summation of the situation at all, Neutralhomer. After I took the time to discuss it with you further on my talk page, I'm sure you understood what Tan39 proposed and what I was waiting for. This is disingenuous at best. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 03:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Knock-knock joke vandalism

Good move protecting Knock-knock joke. I note that the last 3 acts of vandalism were all performed by similar IP addresses:

Crabcore

This whole thing is a little absurd, but given that a handful of places that refer to it from this Metafilter piece say that the concept is only being promoted by Attack Attack!, the deleted Crabcore article might actually be a decent merge candidate.

OTRS permission

You were the first name I recognized on the list. Could you confirm that I sent three forwarded permissions for three images? I don't really know what I'm doing, to be honest, but I suppose it can't hurt to ask broadly? Anyways, thanks. Lәo_(βǃʘʘɱ) 08:07, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, they were received. As long as you sent them to the correct address, and you don't get a notice that they were not delivered, then you can probably assume that they were received. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 14:22, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
