Do not revert the edits to my page again...

That's very rude.
--The Skunk 02:12, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Firstly, you weren't signed in so I had no idea it was you. Secondly, what you did add to the page is in violation of Wikipedia:User page in some way.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

It's my page. I'm going to put on it what I want. If what is up there now against some damn guidelines then so is what you keep reverting it too. Revert my edits again and I'm going to report you. I do not appreciate you VANDALIZING my page. Don't do it again. --The Skunk 02:23, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I am not "vandalizing" any page. Your userpage is not for you to post your qualms against the world. It is not a blog for you to maintain.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Gekiranger

Sorry, I just finally figured this part out ^^;; I found information about GekiRed on www.d-boys.com, which says that Suzuki Hiroki would be playing him. I can't find the site that had the information for Nagayama Takashi. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kasey sanada (talk • contribs) 02:14, 1 January 2007 (UTC).

Do not worry. I have added the information concerning Hiroki to the page, and gave it a reference.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay, thanks a lot, and sorry for all the trouble ^__^ I will try to find that other page for Nagayama— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kasey sanada (talk • contribs)

Okay :) Just remember to reference it.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:18, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Regarding User talk:WikiMediaFndn

Is the page really not about sock puppetry? The talk page does talk about a person that might use that account for evading bans. If not, then my apologies for reverting User talk:WikiMediaFndn's page. --Specter01010 02:43, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Question

Hi Ryulong, I have a question. Why did you revert my edit at the AIV. I thought I brought up a valid point. Cheers anyway. — Arjun 02:21, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

You accidentally linked to the watchlist in the commented out section, thought it'd screw everything up, and I removed him myself as he was not active.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Oops, sorry about that! Cheers! — Arjun 02:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Episode Guides - Reply

I'd like to keep the individual guides, however, I agree the pics add little to each and you can go ahead and remove them. Currently I am still in the process of not only adding the new guides, but updating the old, so give me some time to work on them and improve the quality level. Drake Clawfang 04:29, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Seeing as there are several hundred (and school starts up again for me, soon) I would prefer not to do it by myself. If you have other users who also do these (like Benten) please work on this without me :(—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:34, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Internet meme

Hi Ryulong. You reverted the changes made by Heyjokerman and Sookiehocky to the above page. I agree with your revert, as both users seem to be single-use socks. However, I have two comments.

• The Millhouse example should be included, as it can be cited. See my references on the talk page.
• The external link to the "Over 9000" video link should also be included. Although it was included by Heyjokerman, it is a valid example of a meme.

-- Rossj81 05:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Google is not a reliable source. And whether or not Jack Spicer or Millhouse not being memes being a meme itself is not something that we should list, as there is no way we can reliably source either.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Ryulong. I understand your comment that Google is not considered a reliable source. Furthermore, Guidelines for notability (even though it was rejected) also states Google should not be used as an indication of notability. However, Milhouse is the best example (of which I know) of a Forced Meme, and I believe at least one example should be included for this section of the article. The 4chan page lists it as an example of a Forced Meme. Would be happy with including Milhouse if we added a reference to Urban Dictionary, a source which could be seen as fairly dependable w.r.t. memes? -- Rossj81 06:54, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I removed Millhouse from the 4chan article for the same reason as at Internet meme. It cannot be accurately sourced (and urbandictionary does not count either).—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:19, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ryulong, this looks to be too complex for WP:AIV as it isn't a case for simple vandalism. I don't understand the context of the talk edits because they don't look to be vandalism in any way. Perhaps you should post this to Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents or Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard with more details to get some feedback. Cheers, Deathphoenix ʕ 21:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

empty talk

Hey, I noticed you added User:Hshillerista to AIV, but they have an empty talk page. Is this a mistake? I have to go to bed, but I thought I'd give you the heads up that they don't have any warnings if it was an error or something. Peace, delldot | talk 05:50, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

WikiStalking (User:Rainbowangie, User:LibearyGay...)

Hi. I happened across some of LibearyGay's edits and I think Rainbowangie is just trying to revert some of their overzealous changes. If you take a look at Libeary's edit history you will see they are going around adding speedy deletion templates all over the wiki for petty reasons on articles that if they were to be deleted should probably be taken to AfD. I'm not really familiar with wiki-stalking, but I think Rainbowangie's behavior is justified. Anyway, I'd appreciate another head being involved with the situation. Thanks. Paul^C/_T+ 10:47, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I see that both need looking at, but I have to sleep now :P—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 11:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks anyway then. Have a good night. Paul^C/_T+ 11:02, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Brendan Skeen and West Virginia Ghost Hunters

I suggest taking them to afd. Notability is asserted in both case, hence they are not speedyable (not meaning tht I want them to remain however). Viridae^Talk 22:13, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I do not think that the articles assert any notability, as the only links are to the user's own website, an alexa ranking, and an online store where they get their supplies.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:16, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I was specifically referring to "The work of the group has been featured on the SciFi Channel "Ghost Hunters" and the Travel Channel "Weird Travels" to name a few." in the ghost hunters article and something similar in the bio. Viridae^Talk 22:31, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, you found the AFD.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:51, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Bus routes in Singapore

Hi Ryulong, I would like to ask about your addition of {{prodwarning}} to Bus routes in Singapore. Perhaps it may just be a list, but many lists like these feature in Wikipedia. There are examples of such lists for the Bronx, Manhattan, Sydney (and 200 to 900 series as well, in fact), etc... then would those articles also go AfD according to WP:NOT#INFO as well? There is no point merging this list into other articles as it is 44 kilobytes large. In fact, it was split from Bus transport in Singapore as the page was getting too big. Actually, what exactly is your gripe with the article that you had to propose this article for deletion? It would be nice if you could suggest something to improve the article, because as far as I can see, nothing more can be done. 리지강.wa.au 19:34, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, I would think that they should be considered WP:NOT#INFO as well. People do not use Wikipedia as a bus schedule.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I checked the external sources (1 and 2) before completing the move, and noted that they both used the spelling "Carranger". Does that answer your question? -GTBacchus^(talk) 07:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes. I even contacted jgp off wiki once I found the diff myself. I agree with him now, though (CarRanger was in CamelCase to distinguish Car from Ranger :P)—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:45, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Some Sentai comments

First of all I would like to tell you good work on shortening the main Super Sentai page as I would find how acceptable it is not being too long as I admit the old trivia comments were overly long. Second I found a website that had Bakuryuu Sentai Abaranger fansubs that I had downloaded over the past few days and found inaccurate information on Abaranger that was caused due to information from the Power Rangers Dino Thunder version and fixed it correctly. If you would like to look at the footage yourself I can give you the link. -Adv193 02:16, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I won't be having that much access to fansubs or the like for a while, as school's starting up again and I won't be able to use various means of downloading videos. The only known subbing of Abaranger comes from Hong Kong and I'll look into your changes in the article to see what you actually did. Please, bring up this stuff at WT:TOKU.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:31, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay and just so you know the biggest inaccurate mix-up of information between the Abaranger and Power Rangers Dino Thunder version that I had to cleanup had to do with the Lijewloid Two-Worlds' KillerGhost profile. I also intend to submit the inaccurate inforamation problem on the Toku link -Adv193 02:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Kamen Rider Ryuki work

Yes, this is the same detial freak who came up with data on DaiVoyager for Operation overdrive; a month or two back. I recently had the fortuen of veiwing subbed Episodes of Kamen Rider Ryuki, and noted that the Overview section was slightly incorect as to how Shinji becomes Ryuki. I thus expanded the article a bit, inproving it's accuracy...but also making it longer. I also noticed you are the last named editor of th epage, and as I know how proficent you are as a wikipedian, I've brought this up to ensure I haven't accidentaly created a problem. In short, I'm just checking with a known proffesional to see if these changes work. Whatever results, I just thought i'd bring that up, sir. Shotesu 04:59, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

I know nothing about Ryuki. Ask someone at WT:TOKU—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:29, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Blanking of the Piotr Blass AfD page

With regards to [3]:

You say that "Dr Blass abused the process". How?

The Liz I Virginity thing

I was trying to be helpful. I realize that the tone is that of a modern-day pediatrician or social worker, but that is, to some degree, my perspective. Abortions were terribly dangerous back then but they were probably known to Elizabeth I because she seems like somebody who demanded facts rather than fairy tales from her Privy Council. But if you would "rather not talk about it" because there is no data, I suppose the whole "virginity" section can go since it is all just speculation and context. Of course, that popular "Virgin Queen" label has to stick around even though it is just a label and tells us no facts about Liz. Your choice.

Honestly, do you think her advisors did not see fit to sit her down at an early age and ensure that she understood such matters just as bluntly and clearly as possible? They had the future of an entire Nation in their hands. -- 71.156.102.142 10:01, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Apologies

Apologies for 'correcting' Ral's vote at your RfA. I assumed it was a numbering error, but Gracenotes fixed it and you pointed out that Ral withdrew the vote. The only reason I can give for thinking that the numbering had been messed up is that the vote hadn't been struck through, which I thought was normal. I should have checked, and will do so next time I think there has been a mistake. In fact, I'll probably contact the !voter in question instead of rushing in to correct. I've apologised to Ral, but most of all, I'm apologising to you. Best of luck with the RfA. Carcharoth 11:42, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. I didn't think it was affecting the count (unless you're referring to how Ral didn't strikeout his vote, which was a bit odd.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 19:15, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

"Weapons of Mass Destruction", Ryulong.

The {example}"Yaiba of Darkness (3-47)" brackets should remain, especially for one-time charatcers like the Jougami. Fractyl

No. It is really crufty. Single characters do not really need to have a mention of what episode they showed up in. If anything, simple "In Task X..." should be used instead.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 05:15, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Anyway I agree with both of you on this subject, I agree with what Fractyl that some kind of identification should be used because it would make the article easier for people to understand and Ryulong I will also agree that an alternative method should be considered in order to help with article quality. -Adv193 05:41, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Sysop promotion

I have made you a sysop. Please be sure you are well versed in our policies before using the shiny new buttons. Raul654 06:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congrats!

Ryulong, as co-nominator on your RFA, I'd like to congratulate you on getting the mop, have fun with the shiny new buttons :) Michael Billington (talk • contribs) 06:27, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

If you really believe you should be admin, then you should respect community consensus and not use the buttons until we've settled this issue. (No, I'm not saying you should resign, but if you really respect the community you will hold off using the buttons until we sort this out.) – Chacor 06:30, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow, you lucky bum, you got in, I didn't think you'd pull it off. Well, I believe this last RfA has taught you to go a bit easy on the stuff you receieved as criticism, so I believe you will make a fine admin - much quicker to block vandals than just waiting at AIV. (though it will be weird not having another commoner with ridiculously high edit count!!). Patstuart^talk|edits 06:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I tend to endorse Chacor's point about not using your new tools until this has been discussed and sorted on WT:RFA; less trouble overall, I think. Whilst I have no opinion on what Raul654 has done related to whether he should or should have promoted you, I give you my sincerest congratulations and thanks for all your past work on Wikipedia, and give you my best wishes for the future. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

:/ So I can't

1. Speedy delete an image I tagged myself for being redundant
2. Re-semi/move protect my userpage, testing everything out?
3. Speedy delete a page that I tagged myself and with the author's request (seen above)

—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You can do whatever you please, really. I'm just giving you a kind suggestion, and naturally whether you wish to accept it in full, in part (ie. do what you said above) or not at all is your decision and yours only. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

My point of asking you not to was partially because the last time we had such an RFA pass, we all know what happened. People started asking Carnildo to step down. I think that you should voluntarily just avoid the tools for now. (There is discussion at WT:RFA, btw, so if you want to make any comments...) – Chacor 06:41, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations on your RfA! Now here comes the sordid part: though I wholeheartedly support your new adminship position, due to the extreme and potentially controversial circumstances surrounding the closing of your RfA, I suggest holding off on the most controversial of admin buttons (namely, blocking powers, among others) and suggest diverting your efforts to clearing out clearcut cases in CSD (or protecting your talkpage) until the community or the b'crats have reached a definite decision. However, I support the legitimacy of your new position as servant to the Wikipedia community, and I will wholeheartedly support your continued quest to benefit Wikipedia, the community, and its editors. Again, congratulations! (yes, I know I sound like a harbinger of doom masquerading as an enthusiastic supporter) --²¹⁰physicq (c) 06:42, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Right, then. Off to close some AFDs?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:43, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Eh, clearcut cases, yes. Try to stay off some controversial cases for a while, if you want to keep your newly adminated hands clean. Though, of course, you can do so if you wish. --²¹⁰physicq (c) 06:45, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Ryulong, my recommendation to any new sysop is to use the tools slowly and gradually. But, a crat has made the decision, and you have the buttons. I see no reason for you to hold off as a few users have their knickers in a bunch. Give 'em a whirl and clear some backlogs :)

For everyone else, leave him alone? Congrats again mate  Glen  06:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Face it, he had no consensus. Asking the opposition to piss off won't help. – Chacor 06:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Thats something you'll have to address with Raul. Ryulong in the meantime has every right to clear some backlogs (hint hint! ;)  Glen  06:54, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Wait a second, Ryulong has been promoted, as exactly expected of him in the system, and you guys don't want him to use the tools? That's not fair at all. If his powers get revoked, fine, but don't expect him to sit back and do nothing in the meantime. Patstuart^talk|edits 06:51, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

though I agree with Glen and Physics' solution of going it slow... Patstuart^talk|edits 06:52, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Being pissed off about an apparent case of "more discretion than usual" won't help either, though I do ask for restraint. And let's not argue on this talk page, do so at WT:RFA. --²¹⁰physicq (c) 06:53, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Indeed, this discussion is better centralised at WT:RFA. I guess my point was to stay away from the controversial stuff, per Glen and others above. Cheers, Daniel.Bryant 06:56, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations, and enjoy the shiny buttons. Ask if you need help with anything, and go clear out CAT:CSD. --Slowking Man 06:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Nag nag nag; you should disable anon-only when blocking suspected or known proxies, as no one, including registered users, should be able to use them (however, this does not inlcude Tor nodes, as some editors use them to circumvent government censorship). And there are also some helpful templates for tagging Talk pages! The More You Know…--Slowking Man 07:24, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Congrats, although make sure you don't let the debate get to you, regardless of the outcome or the stances. — Deckiller 07:10, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Congrats, I second the motion you help at CSD, always a huge backlog there. VegaDark 07:25, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep, CSD is too big of a backlog, just get some sleep in between CSD sessions. Oh, and remember that just because its tagged for CSD doesn't mean hit delete, there is the odd good article in there tagged by vandals etc. As for the open proxy, that was routine, I see no problems whatsoever with that block -- Tawker 07:32, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm actually surprised and disappointed to hear that you've been asked to step down and wait for a new nomination. I don't think that's needed (yet, anyway, unless Raul's promotion gets overruled), but thanks for acknowledging the uproar that has occurred. – Chacor 08:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Eh, I'm not surprised. Right after Carnildo's highly controversial promotion, two users asked him to step down [5], which he declined. You know, I'm wondering - would it be this controversial had he gotten 70%? If one opposer switched to support... Hbdragon88 09:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Use your tools

There is no reason at all that you should not use the buttons if you have them. We have these tools to use for the benefit of the project, and to decline to use them productively doesn't help anything. I am sure you will use them responsibly as all admins should endeavor to do. Cheers, NoSeptember 09:37, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree. Seeing as I went from oppose to neural to support, I covered the full range of possible votes on your RfA, and I want you to know you have my full trust and support. Regardless of what any naysayers may say, I believe you will use your bit wisely and responsibly. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I'm always willing to help. Hey, i may even ask you questions as I'm sure there are things about which you're much more knowledgeable. Congrats, and please don't step down. Just prove the fearful wrong. (^_^) ···日本穣^{? · Talk to Nihonjoe} 10:04, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't envy your position at all, but there's no reason why you shouldn't be out there using the bit. A trained monkey could do most of it, maybe even an untrained one. CAT:CSD is a good place to start. Have fun/wangi 10:06, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Use the tools to your advantage; if the situation with the promotion is reversed, at least you'll know you performed extremely well for the encyclopedia during the brief period you had the tools. — Deckiller 10:17, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

I don't understand what all the fuss is about. The possibility that Ryulong might abuse his tools has been compensated by the fact that he is willing to put himself into AOR. You should let him use the tools as much as possible, and judge him on that, his actual administrator actions. Not how much of a chance he might accidentally block a user unfairly. Ryulong's a great benefit to the encyclopedia, and should be allowed to use his tools to the full potential. Floria L 10:33, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

• Congratulations - I was glad to see that you were selected ... you do quite a bit for the project. --BigDT 13:26, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

You will have seen my !vote and also my comments. If you stay active as an admin, please read them very carefully before you hit the block button in non-obvious cases. Your dedication to the project are well-known, are appreciated, and are presumably what led to your being promoted with the RfA closing numerically where it did, but the concerns that have been expressed are equally real. Please take them into account and consult with others in any close cases. Regards, Newyorkbrad 13:39, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Here's what I think you should do.

Hi - I'm just joe average so we have not had any contact - but here's what I think you should do. At the moment, you are in the middle of situation that is not of your own making - rightly or wrongly, it has created a "drag" on your Administration and seems to be heading for quite a bit of wiki-drama. I would suggest that you stand down immediately and then be re-nominated in 4 weeks or so. I think this would be of real benefit to you for a number reasons:

1) What better sign is there to the community that you are an admin who listens? surely that has to win over some of the naysayers in your previous RFA. People talk about "a few extra buttons" but people seem to willing to fight tooth and claw for those extra buttons - you would be indicating to the community that you take their concerns seriously.

2) You will help to avert some wiki-drama - again showing how you wish to build consensus in the community and show the strength of your character.

3) It will eliminate one of the brickbats that is surely going to throw your way if you continue under your current mandate (which many will claim is not a mandate but rather a favourite son appointment - I am NOT saying this is how I see it, but how it is clear quite a few do).

However the choice is yours - if you don't wish to stand again, I wish you well as an admin and I'm sure you will do an excellent job. If you do stand again, I'll be first in line to make the case for strong support.

--Fredrick day 16:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Good Luck.

Good luck on being an Administrator. To be honest, I always thought you were one, as did several other Users. As for that question I asked, thanks again for answering it. The situation with that User at the moment is certainly an interesting one. Anyway, as I said, good luck! Acalamari 16:19, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Take the third path

You have already stated in your RfA that you would be willing to join Category:Administrators open to recall. I saw your note at the top of your talk page and do not find that necessary, despite having been one of your opposers. What I would like to see is that you fulfill this "campaign promise" as soon as possible, and reassure people that any missteps can be easily and discreetly handled. Whatever you decide, good luck and gods bless. I'm sure you didn't ask for this wiki-drama. -- nae'blis 18:55, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

First of all, congrats. I agree with Nae'blis. You should list yourself on Category:Administrators open to recall as soon as possible, assuring unhappy users who'll certainly be monitoring you that you are willing to be recalled if they find out that you've misused the tools. Now you shouldn't refrain from using the tools you were given access to, just be extra cautious and I'm sure nobody will complain.--Húsönd 19:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

All of that was sourced. Every single statement. Is there something in particular you question? The portions you removed had to do with the structure of the US-led air force, which I would claim is common knowledge, and the problems between Vann and Cao, which is widely commented on in Bright Shining Lie. Like I said, I hate drawing from a single source, notably a US-only one, but everything in that article is sourced. Maury 19:12, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Porch collapse

Hello! I noticed that you speedily deleted this article as "nonsense" and closed its AfD listing. This was not a speedy deletion candidate. It was entirely coherent, documented a term with more than 11,000 Google hits, and cited a reputable source for one of its claims. (The aforementioned Google search turns up others.) It was created by a user in good standing (with an "Anti-Hoax Barnstar," I might add).
Even if a majority of the article was a hoax, this is explicitly not a speedy deletion criterion:

• CSD G1: Patent nonsense and gibberish, an unsalvageably incoherent page with no meaningful content. This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes. [1]
  
• Hoaxes: Articles that present unverifiable and probably false ideas, theories, or subjects. Occasionally these can be deleted as vandalism if the article is obviously ridiculous, but remotely plausible articles should be subjected to further scrutiny in a wider forum. [2]
  
• Note that hoaxes are not speedy deletion candidates. It is not enough for just one or two editors to investigate a hoax. There have been cases in the past where something has been thought to have been a hoax by several editors, but has turned out to be true, and merely obscure. [3]
  

Please restore this article and handle the matter through the proper channels. Thank you! —David Levy 05:29, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Wow, that was quick! Thanks again!  :-) —David Levy 05:33, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Congratulation on becoming admin

Here is something that updates every hour and will help you with your new job :) --Parker007 06:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Catholicism as a pagan Babylonian mystery cult

Ryulong, I just received your message saying that "removing content from Wikipedia" is considered vandalism.

Thank you, but... in this case, the material which I removed was vandalism.

Did you read the material which you re-inserted into Blessed Virgin Mary?

User 207.118.29.48 is on a massive vandalism campaign, rapidly editing dozens of pages to spread his theory that Catholics are actually pagans who secretly worship a Babylonian goddess named Semiramis. He has been asked several times, by several people, to provide references or sources; but instead he simply re-inserts his unsourced material without comment. He has been using these user ids:

Melchizedekjesus
69.29.202.188
69.29.232.110
69.29.232.220
69.29.251.180

Speedy delete

Hi Ryulong. I noticed that one of your first actions as an admin (congratulations for that, by the way) was to speedy delete an article stub I'd started (East Anglian Daily Times). It transpires that it was deleted before I had a chance to step in. It was tagged as db-blank which seems surprising as it was a stub article, with an external link. It wasn't really blank and wasn't really out of context either, since it was stubbed correctly. A very quick Google search shows the EADT has a circulation of just less than the Eastern Daily Press so why wasn't the article prod'ed instead? I'm not too bothered but the justification for speedy delete seems to be missing in this case. The Rambling Man 08:27, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

It was a short article that provided little context. All that was stated was that it was a newspaper that serves two regions of England. The other article you mention has a bit more meat to it.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 08:30, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

But surely a prod would have been sufficient? It would have given me (or anyone else) time to do something about your concerns. Typically db-blank is used for malformed articles which clearly are unsalvageable. I do not believe this article fell into this category. I'm pretty disappointed that I see dozens of prods on articles that really don't provide context and are blank, but this article which had a stub tag, and a reliable external link was simply speedied. The Rambling Man 08:47, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

...I'll restore it prior to yesterday, when the db-tag was likely added to the page. Then you'll have time to work on it.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 08:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. The Rambling Man 09:17, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

This is one point many opposers made at your RFA, Ryulong, I hope you learn from this and not be too quick to hit the "delete" tab at the top of the page, especially when it comes to new articles. This case involved an established user; had it involved a newbie I'm not so sure the newbie would be inclined to stay on and edit Wikipedia. I also doubt that the article would have been restored if it was a newbie. – Chacor 00:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Blocking of "spambot/openproxy"

Regarding your block of 66.197.217.245 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), et al. for being spambot/open proxies: I appreciate the speed at which you block these IPs which are being exploited by people using automated software like this one to spam. However, after you block one, please put {{subst:openproxy}} on its user talk, so that if the IP allocation ever changes and its no longer a proxy, the next occupant won't be scratching their heads why they're blocked (explaining in the block log is a little terse IMO).

Hi, thank you for unblocking me, I just want you to know, That I wrote a very large part of that Article yesturday, and some of the information has changed, and then you protected the article, how am I supposed to change it? There is wrong information, and I would like to change it please. Thank you very much MCRluvr 06:40, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I protected the article because of User:MCRluvsME which you apparently created. You can request that the article be editted by using {{editprotected}} on the talk page, which will notify another admin to change the article.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:42, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you so much, that is one of my former friends, and once she found out what part of the article I wrote, she went and deleted it all, I called her and she admitted she did it, I really, really appreciate this! --MCRluvr 06:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I also just want to ask one thing, will MCRluvsME, be able to edit that article? because she has said she was going to delete it all.

gabriel renaud

May I ask why you deleted the article about the opera singer Gabriel Renaud. With all due respect, I doubt you are able to ascertain the notoriety of an opera singer in Latin America.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Elchuchulo (talk • contribs).

The article was just a list of operas he performed in. No notability was asserted.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:46, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Have you looked at the website ? Elchuchulo

Again if an international opera singer is not notorious I wonder who is. Elchuchulo

The article did not assert the individual's notability not notoriety. Please read WP:MUSIC to see why the article was deleted.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 20:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, he satisfies #4, unfortunately, you have to be able to speak Spanish in order to understand it.

"En los últimos años ha participado en numerosos conciertos y presentaciones operísticas, tanto en ciudades del interior del país como en otros países de Latinoamérica, cantando en Venezuela, Uruguay, Brasil, Perú y Chile."

Elchuchulo

Well, maybe you should write about him at the Spanish Wikipedia. I don't think he'd be included here, really, because he was notable in Latin America.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

The goal of wikipedia is to provide a database of human knowledge in various languages, i.e. the English Wikipedia's content is not limited to matters pertaining to the English-speaking world and so forth. After you admitted that this singer qualifies for "notability", the logical course of action is to let me create the article. Elchuchulo

I apologize for my above statement, but the text of the article did not assert the individual's notability. If you can rewrite the article so that notability is asserted, including any sort of information from Spanish that you can include in English, more than just "Gabriel Renaud is a tenor from Argentina. He was born in the city of Buenos Aires. He performed multiple operas:" and list the operas, then the article can be included. Please write that article here so it conforms with the various manuals of style that Wikipedia has.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:33, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I will as soon as I have a chance. Thank you for your understanding. Elchuchulo

Thanks for blocking that IP...

However, I noticed you gave him six months, as opposed to an indef ban, though the usage was only LB edits. Is there a difference in policy for usernames vs. IPs wrt ban times? MSJapan 22:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Which IP was this?—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh! I was told to do so by the checkuser that rooted it out.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 22:49, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

OhOhAbarenOh

The オオ in オオアバレンオー is pronounced distinctly. If it were OhAbarenOh, it would be spelled with オー, as it is at the end of the name. When speaking the name, the characters speak the o sounds very distinctly separate. And, as I said, it is オオアバレンオー, not オーアバレンオー. Angel the Techrat 01:38, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

The use of Hepburn romaji is easier here.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 01:39, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Then it would be helpful if all of the symbols used in the Hepburn system actually appeared on most browsers or could be types using the alt-#### system.. Reguardless, the o sounds are distinct. It would be ō'ōAbarenō, I suppose (if clipping characters that don't show up properly pastes them properly..). <edit> Okay. O-O- works. It at least shows the sounds to be separated. And ou 王 is translated as king. I just kept with the oh convention because it was used everywhere else in the article. I dislike it, myself, because people only use it to keep english-speakers from pronouncing ou as "ow". Anyway, the plain romaji is ooabarenoo, which is of course confusing and frustraiting, because that style of romaji also fails to show when a vowel is distinctly doubled or just stressed by the us of ー. Angel the Techrat 02:06, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, there's really no good way to write it. "OhOh" is good, but it makes it seem that the O's are longer.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:08, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Patsy Moore

Question: Why did you delete our photo, "patsy2.jpg"? The photo is our property and we stated as much in our license info. Please respond, at your earliest convenience, on our talk page. Thank you. InfoSource 16:26, 28 January 2007 (UTC)User:InfoSOurce 8:25, 28 January 2007

According to your response to my earlier inquiry--as to why the photo was removed from the Patsy Moore page on Wikipedia--you stated:

"I deleted it because it did not have copyright information. As it is now, it has the wrong copyright information, which is a criterion for speedy deletion. If you work for Ms. Moore, please e-mail permissions at wikimedia.org to provide us with an image of Ms. Moore that can be released under the GFDL or other such copylefts found at Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.—19:39, 28 January 2007 (UTC)"

Would that be "permissions@wikipedia.org"? If so, I e-mailed "patsy2.jpg", taken by photographer Victory Anderson—and for which she granted written and full permission for use by Patsy Moore, her site (http://www.patsymoore.com), and any future projects of Ms. Moore—to that address. The photo is, in fact, being used as the cover for an upcoming audio single. The only way we now know of reaching Ms. Anderson is via an e-mail address which was also forwarded to "permissions@wikipedia.org".

What is the PROPER license for us to employ in order to make that happen? We would like nothing more than to rectify this matter as soon as possible and to avoid an ongoing episode of put the picture up/take the picture down.

Also, can you elaborate on what words of Ms. Moore's entry constitute 'weasel words' and why all citations were removed only to be replaced by a warning that no citations exist?

Your prompt advisement, left on our discussion page, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Best regards, InfoSource 02:42, 29 January 2007 (UTC)Seamus Byrne (InfoSource) pmDOTcom & Associated Sites Administration

The proper license would be {{GFDL}} or some other copyleft license. The copyright will be figured out by the time WP:OTRS deals with it. And there are various reasons why I cleaned up the article, which could be understood by visiting WP:AWW, WP:FOOTNOTE, and the other correct pages.

Also, if this account is to be used by more than one person, then it may have to be blocked for being a role account.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

No, according to the definition I just read, this is not a 'role account'. Although I am not the only person working for pmDOTcom, I am the only person authorized to make actual changes to the page and, as far as I know, I am the only one who has done so—outside of Wikipedia editors, of course. Do you have reason to believe otherwise?

InfoSource 02:56, 29 January 2007 (UTC)InfoSource

You use "we" a lot, though. That's what is confusing me.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:59, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I apologize for the confusion. When the original invitation to submit an entry arrived from Wikimedia, it was sent to the Webmaster for pmDOTcom, who then forwarded it to our administrative address. I think of pmDOTcom Administration as "we"; but, in fact, it is only I who responded and submitted the entry, as well as subsequent edits. I assure you, I act alone, here. Anyway, I'll try to get this page up to code ASAP and understand that you have several inquiries to deal with, but more specificity would be helpful. I will refer to WP:AWW and WP:FOOTNOTE, nonetheless.

WP:BOBA (yes, it's a cross namespace redirect, but it's easier that way)—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:17, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Those cross-name redirects are not considered harmful; the harmful ones are those that are from the mainspace to the other space. Usertalk space to Wikipedia space are okay, like how WP:JIMBO redirects to Jimbo's user talk page, or how WP:WOW once redirected to WT:LTA/Willy on Wheels. Hbdragon88 06:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh

Ugh. I've totally given up on episodes...they're everywhere, and they'll never fall in AFD. The only way to destroy them is to uproot them where they're not being protected - Power Rangers was an elegant example, being able to merge most of the episodes in one fell swoop (well, after everybody else had rmoved the prods). If I try to broaden my reach too far I'll go insane, so I think I'll try to keep it all down to merging all of the stupid article within the WP:PCP - Mt. Silver is my next target, for instance.

QQ Express

This stub of restaurant was created 1 day ago. It was written with a neutral point of view, a description of its basic business operation and background, a short list of its competitors, and it was flagged PROD the very same day for lack of notability due to ghit and was proposed for deletion in 5 days. The business does not have a dire need of an online presence due to the nature of its business but is known in the Greater Sacramento area and some part of San Francisco Bay Area. The PROD based on ghit was unfair, and as it turned out, this stub was then deleted the next day.

Please consider undeleting this stub and allow for improvements/corrections. Thank you. - Waliwala 07:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleting "The Black Balloon (film)" entry

I just saw you have deleted the entry for "The Black Balloon (film)". As reason for doing so you claimed it is a non existing film. WRONG! The film is in Production, it's actually shot at the moment. All information given by me were correct and most of them can be checked on various websites, here a list (just a sample list, not complete): http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0865297/ http://www.iconmovies.net/blackballoon/ http://www.if.com.au/Press/2007/01/15.html http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,21002619-5006013,00.html Even though the film is not released yet, as it is not finished yet, still the interest in it is quite high, driven by the cast and their appeal to certain target audiences.

The Black Balloon 08:18, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I also deleted it because of your user name, you should not be writing an article about your film. Please wait for someone else to come along and write an article about the film from a non-biased perspective (and if it gets critical acclaim). Wikipedia and IMDB are not the same thing; or so long as information about a film is verifiable and neutral, it can be written about in Wikipedia.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 08:21, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

It is not my film! Somebody else started the article (which should be visible in the history)! I just corrected some parts (as they weren't correct) and added actors and crew, which are on IMDB and other online sources. I wouldn't have started an article, I just didn't want incorrect facts to be distributed. And because this is majorly a very young target group, who is already interested in the film, wrong facts get circulated very quickly and rumors are getting started, which is in nobodies interest. Isn't it? The Black Balloon 08:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

It's 5:14 am; J Di was talking about this in an IRC channel. I investigated. I deleted the IP's talk. I deleted the IP's contributions to your talk. Don't retaliate to him anymore, just Revert, block, ignore.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 10:16, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I wish to take action against J di, I want her admin privileges removed. Just read her archive pages, see howmany negative comments there are. 1B6 10:30, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

There's nothing that J Di did wrong that I can see. I don't see any reason that he did that requires desysopping. I think you should keep away from him as best as you can and not aggravate things any further.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:40, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Gwernol

Hi there. Thank you for your intervention in the extraordinarily intense attack on this user. A the attacker appears to be an established user, or his sockpuppets do, would a complete protection not be better? User:Gwernol could, after all, remove it if he wanted to change his page. I know that I am probably interfering, but he was very helpful to me when I was a newbie, and it distresses me to see the level of vandalism he is being hit by.--Anthony.bradbury 12:45, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

May I have your advice?

I noticed you deleted Anthony E Caruso (deletion log link) and I was wondering how to handle a situation where the article has been recreated (as Anthony e caruso) and the creator is quite irate with me, and yet the creator continues to ignore my advice about including sources or otherwise bringing the article up to the point where it might qualify to survive. It is autobiographical to boot, so I'm not sure if it would qualify even with sourcing. Should I just speedy delete tag it again? Or is there some other process I could use?

Dealt with, spoke to the author.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:22, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you. Mermaid from the Baltic Sea 04:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I have direct sources from Entprenuer as well as other recognizable publishers. If these are added in the appropriate way I would like to have my artice.

I noticed you are an undergraduate student...are you also a special level helper here that decides what is ok to stay?

You can request that your article be created by another user who will be able to write it in a non-biased way and whatnot. And on my undergraduate level in college, I do not understand what you mean. I am an administrator of Wikipedia if that's what you mean.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 04:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

About Kebab

Hi, just a quick question. I am a newbie here, what was the grounds of your deleting the picture that I had added to the kebab page yesterday about how adana kebap was being made? I am from Adana, Turkey (Although I don't live there anymore). No offense, just wondering, so that I act accordingly in wikipedia.

Thank you,

It was tagged with the wrong copyright tag. You should have released it under GFDL if you made it yourself.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 19:00, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Ryulong: No actually is it not an image I have made myself, it is an image from that reference numberred as [3] (local kebap house). So that's why i haven't chosen GFDL. How can we restore it? 10:38, 30 January 2007 (UTC) (hakkiy)

Well, I am not sure what copyright tag should be used.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 00:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Let it be, just waste of my time looks like we can't come to an agreement. Never mind.

Adam4Adam

I created a page called Adam4Adam which I think perhaps you deleted because it had previously been created and didn't pass an AfD. However, I had nothing to do with previous versions nor did I even know about them. My version, I believe, met WP:V and WP:N and was in no way spammy. It was, if anything, slightly critical in that while NPOV, it presented info about the company that many would regard negatively. This doesn't seem fair nor to anyone's benefit. Please help me understand this process. House of Scandal 20:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

I've restored it; I can see that it was not the same content. The {{db-g4}} tagging was out of line.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 21:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

The article was deleted again before I even signed on today. I understand your deletion was done in error. The admin who deleted it the second time is refusing to make this right on the basis of me not being polite enough for his liking. Despite references from The Washington Post etc., the admin has claimed the article asserted no notability. I am a good Wikipedian. I have had 45 DYK's in the past 60 days. I am really frustrated at this lack of fairnes. I hope that since you had some accidental involvement in this article, you might assist. Thanks. -House of Scandal 15:10, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Darby

I didn't block him (I don't intend to unblock myself given the comments he has made). However, given that he hasn't been indef blocked by the community (see discussion on just started on ANI to hopefully do this) he should probably be unblocked or given a set blocking time. JoshuaZ 02:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

It's an autoblock that you've blocked as a sockpuppet. It's like getting caught in your own lie.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:05, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but I'm not sure he knew there was a policy against sockpuppeting. (I'd rather just have him get banned, but if that isn't happening...)JoshuaZ 02:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Now he does know it. I will replace the unblock template with a warning about sockpuppetry.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:09, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I am disturbed by your actions

You have just reverted all my moves in the past several months without apparent reason. My moves were documented on the Talk pages. Could you please not just automatically revert, but rather enter into a discusson? MapMaster 02:51, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I told you why on your talk page.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 02:54, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

No, you simply asserted that "Bohemund" is the English spelling. As mentioned on the article's talk page, Encyclopedia Brittanica and Encarta both use "Bohemond" and that spelling has twice the English Google hits than "Bohemund".

You also have failed to explain why you revert each of the 3 other un-related article moves I've made in the past several months, all in two minutes time. You cannot have spent much time studying the merits of these moves. It seems more like revenge for daring to be bold. MapMaster 03:17, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I was told by another administrator to look into it. It appeared that you were violating use English. I reverted on that basis. Also, your lack of good faith is disturbing me.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 03:21, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

MapMaster, stop flipping out at other editors. This is Wikipedia, where anyone is free to edit. Do not grumble over this issue just because another user felt your pagemoves were incorrect. Ryulong did the pagemove on behalf of Adam Bishop (talk · contribs) and I suggest you contact him (nicely!) asking why the pages were moved. Nishkid64 03:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I am attempting to get a discussion going on the Talk page, but no one seems to be interested in talking, just asserting and reverting. I would still be interested in knowing why Ryulong assumed bad faith on my part and auto-reverted all my article moves in past month. MapMaster 03:40, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Wiesenthal / Wiesenthal (disambiguation)

Hello, I know there's a problem with the Wiesenthal article which has been improperly created as a mix of both a disambiguation page and an attempt at onomastics. However having both Wiesenthal and Wiesenthal (disambiguation) as redirects, that doesn't look right either. Were you planning to work on those further? Thanks - Introvert • ~ 06:33, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Please see WP:SU for more information.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 06:34, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the reference. It helps (and I knew of this problem for quite some time, by now) -- but still does not answer my question. I guess what I am saying, is that a page that has <Name (disambiguation)> as its title, should be a disambiguation page and not a redirect. There has to be a valid disambig for the Wiesenthals - we already have at least two (Charles Fredrick Wiesenthal, Simon Wiesenthal). And secondly, while I recognize the problem and agree that the original work was a mess that needs attention and lots of help, I believe that it just is not right to throw all that editor's effort out of the window and turn the thing into a mere redirect. There's definitely valuable contents in the original article which has its right and worth. Let me know if you disagree (I hope you won't) -- otherwise, I'll try and at least separate disambiguation from the onomastic, and then pass it on back to you if you would like to help. How does this sound? OK? - Introvert • ~ 07:35, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

You can create the decent disambiguation page. Just watch it for Mr. SU.—Ryūlóng (竜龍) 07:37, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Yep -- will try when I get the time (maybe not at once). Please help if you are available. Take care - Introvert • ~ 07:46, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Ryulong, I've just unblocked Doublelxp (talk • contribs). It looks like you may have misinterpreted his clean ups as vandalism. --  Netsnipe  ►  15:44, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
