But you just hurt yourself. Sooner or later, you'll feel the consequences. Bye. —fetch·comms 20:09, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- Just e-mail me or give me a time when you want to talk through IRC. I need to speak with you personally, Thanks. Dwayne was here! ♫ 20:12, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
- Now's fine for IRC. —fetch·comms 20:14, 4 June 2010 (UTC)
"Frankly, i haven't asked for anything in the past month, so i have no clue what your talking about." The past month? What about a month before that? Specifically around the beginning of April? When I discovered the situation, I asked some people whom I trust about it. I was told it was cleared with Arbcom (ridiculous!), and that you'd never run for admin. I was told that Alison told you to just get back to editing quietly. So don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about. Auntie E. (talk) 21:01, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
- Once again, just leave me alone. I'm not in any mood to discuss this with you and that is final. Have a nice day. Dwayne was here! ♫ 22:14, 5 June 2010 (UTC)
- Auntie E. im going to deal with this matter more maturely, please e-mail me when you can. Thanks ! Dwayne was here! ♫ 19:34, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
- Dwayne: As an uninvolved third party, I will issue a strong warning here. Do not remove messages from your talkpage. I have done it; it will not serve you well. I had no idea of any issues surrounding you; Fetchcomms mentioned it and I just looked at the discussion. I have seen good work from you. Keep it up and lose the idea that rights are a prize. mono 05:47, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Mono, it's not that i think rights are a prize i think that its very helpful, and it's annoying when you work hard to get them and just one little incident can get them revoked. You dont have to respond to this, i just wanted to give you my understanding of what rights are. Dwayne was here! ♫ 21:37, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Dwayne - Thank for your participation and support in my RfA.
I can honestly say that your comments and your trust in me are greatly appreciated.
Please let me know if you ever have any suggestions for me as an editor, or comments based on my admin actions.

The article Accessibility Verifier has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- I don't feel this article is notable, as I could not find significant coverage by reliable sources. I am tagging it for PROD due to the fact that I think it is not a controversial deletion.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. mono 18:36, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- I already requested for deletion, i dont like waiting for PROD's to go by. It takes too long. Read the edit summary of when i blanked the article if you wish. Well WP:APPLE are the ones who put this on the *requests* list, and now one of the members of the Project are not finding this notable, if that's the case it should have never been on requests. Dwayne was here! ♫ 21:26, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
- It is unfortunate, however, please make sure that you check notability and reliable sources before you create an article. mono 00:22, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
Hey Dwayne, I see you are creating a lot of articles about Apple applications or developer tools. Since many have little potential for expansion, I suggest merging as many of them as possible into compatible articles such as Apple Developer Tools while leaving redirects. Airplaneman ✈ 02:31, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- Being requested does not mean auto-notability. Just because an item is on a list does not make it exempt from the existing guidelines and policies. —fetch·comms 18:44, 12 June 2010 (UTC)
- If it was directed at me, I'm aware of it :). It's good to note; thanks for catching that, FC. Airplaneman ✈ 03:46, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Apple File Security
I have nominated Apple File Security, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Apple File Security. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. —fetch·comms 21:28, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your contribution to my Rfa. I have made a comment about it at User talk:JamesBWatson#Your Request for Adminship which you are, of course, very welcome to read if you wish to. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:30, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
Removed PROD on Captain John Evered
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Captain John Evered, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! - I think the sources listed show at a minimal, marginal notability.--Mike Cline (talk) 18:17, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hello, it seems the article was updated when you saw it, i believe when i saw it, there were no sources there. But thanks for notifying me about this. Dwayne was here! ♫ 18:42, 22 June 2010 (UTC)

The Mario images
I hate to say this but the first thing I thought of when I saw those Mario images on your userpage was that they probably violate the rule against hosting any sort of non-free content on a userpage (see Wikipedia:User_page#Images). I know that those may be copies of the Mario images and not the actual originals, but if they aren't then they would be ineligible for being used on your userpage (and would probably even end up being deleted altogether). I may be wrong though; the flickr license (assuming it's correct) suggests that the images are new creations. —Soap— 23:40, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, i want to request deletion of the images, frankly, i dont need them anymore. Thanks, Dwayne was here! ♫ 23:50, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Why did you upload copyvios and Flickrwash? —fetch·comms 23:52, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- That is, are you the Flickr user who uploaded those animations earlier today? —fetch·comms 23:53, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
- Why did you upload copyvios and Flickrwash? —fetch·comms 23:52, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
Even if the images are originals, they'd still not be allowed, as they depict a copyrighted character/concept, that being Mario. I've gone ahead and requested speedy deletion for the Mario images because of this. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 00:19, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks SuperHamster, i was going to request deletion myself, but i dont know how to do so. Dwayne was here! ♫ 00:22, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- I had DRd them, but... Dwayne, did you upload those to Flickr? —fetch·comms 02:26, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- Mhmmm, i used a Photoshop software to edit them out to animation though, it didn't turn out well on my userpage, so i deleted it. Dwayne was here! ♫ 02:40, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- So now you are purposely introducing copyright violations through Flickrwashing? Have you no commons sense whatsoever, no respect for copyrights, trying only to game the system? This is despicable. Don't ever upload anything on Flickr and try to move it to Commons again unless you took or made a picture completely by yourself, without using any others' work whatsoever. Do you understand? You were trying to take advantage of Flickr's licensing; it's called Flickrwashing and it's disgusting to see someone try and do that. You know why? Because a--the characters are obviously copyrighted, and b--you created a separate Flickr account to "license" them however you wished. Don't ever use that Flickr account again, don't ever upload something like that again without thinking first. I don't understand how you thought that was appropriate at all. It's your userpage, for heaven's sake, don't break the law for it. —fetch·comms 13:25, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- Okay, so i admit that i was wrong for that, although i removed those images from my userpage minutes after they were uploaded, because i thought about what i did, and plus i didn't like how they looked anyways. Anyhow, i have removed those pics from my Flickr account and promise not to ever do something as silly as that again. Dwayne was here! ♫ 06:50, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

File:Loldesk.jpg listed for deletion
A file that you uploaded or altered, File:Loldesk.jpg, has been listed at Wikipedia:Files for deletion. Please see the discussion to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. —fetch·comms 13:28, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Fetchcomms, i placed a note on the discussion page saying that i don't need it, hopefully an admin will see the note and delete the image. Dwayne was here! ♫ 13:52, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
- Dwayne, you can always request deletion for images you have authored by requesting speedy deletion under G7 criteria yourself. ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 17:32, 25 June 2010 (UTC)

Crosby marketing listed at Redirects for discussion
An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Crosby marketing. Since you had some involvement with the Crosby marketing redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). Joe Gazz84 (talk) 19:40, 26 June 2010 (UTC)
