I have very little time for Wikipedia right now, and would prefer to spend what time I have focusing on the fun stuff. That being the case, I'd like to have the tools removed so that I'm not distracted by the massive piles of tedious backlog work that they always call out to me to work on. --[[User:Robth|Robth]]<sup>[[User Talk:Robth|Talk]]</sup> 17:41, 10 June 2007 (UTC) |

To keep conversations threaded and readable, please follow the procedure below:
- If you post a message here, watchlist this page. I will reply here.
- If I have posted a message on your talk page, I will have it watchlisted. Reply there. (If I'm being outrageously slow about responding, or if you just want a quick reply, feel free to ping me here to get my attention.)
- Note that I don't follow my own policy when a new user posts on my page; a post on their talk page is much more likely to reach them, so I reply there.
In an attempt to harness the labor of good natured folks who happen to click on this talk page, I'm going to put a list of the articles I've most recently created or rewritten here. Are they good? Do they make no sense? Are they so boring you fell asleep while reading the lead? Did I confuse east with west or left with right again? You decide! Feedback, screwup-fixing, or bold improvement is greatly appreciated.
Regarding your Threat on my User Page to have me Blocked
I understand that you disagree with my protests about your gang's POV and fictional additions to Classical history-related articles, however making threats like this is against Wikipedia policy and you have no business jumping in and interfering in conversations that you are not involved in.
I think you are the one that is setting yourself up for a Block with this kind of behavior. Mehrshad123 20:09, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
You have removed an entry from an Administrator's Page without Authorization
[1] Let this be a warning, that you have no authorization to modify other user's pages in such a manner. In reference to : [2] Mehrshad123 21:43, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Second Instance of Improper Removal of entries from another user's Discussion Page

Re: Wikimedia logo
Exactly my point. The logo currently does NOT cary a Fair use rationale, and is not tagged with the {{logo}} template. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 12:31, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- P.S. I refuse to add {{logo}} to that specific image, because it's not a limited resolution version of the logo in my opinion, and as such it would not be a proper Fair Use tagging. I might be making a POINT, but apparently, sometimes you need to scream quite loud before people hear you in wikipedia. I have GOOD concerns about the usage of wikimedia foundation logos within wikipedia, and people dont' seem to give an F, simply because it's the logo of the foundation. I do not think the fact that this is a logo of the foundation is an excuse, it is a reason to make this one of the first images to sort out under the "newer" policies. If fair use is our only EDP, then this image usage is in violation with our own policies atm. --TheDJ (talk • contribs • WikiProject Television) 12:54, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Hi! How are you? In Greece we say Χριστός Ανέστη these days!
Since you are a classicist, a person who has copy-edited the article in the past , a member of WP:GREECE, and a person whose the opinion I trust a lot, I wanted your input to this: User:Haiduc proposed some changes for Demosthenes. I was reluctant to accept them, but then I let him add a new section, which I just modified a bit. You can see the discussion here, and the recent additions in the article's recent history (Haiduc's addition and my modifications). As the main contributor of this article I cannot be as objective as I would like. Since I am not yet sure about the utility of such additions, and since we speak about a FA and the issue is serious I think that your opinion and your input (among those of other prominent classisists) will be very useful. Please, please, have a look at the article and the discussion! Thanks in advance!
Cheers! And χρόνια πολλά!--Yannismarou 15:48, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
Confused
Hi, does this mean that it's all done? Because there are still several left that haven't been crossed out and made invisible, but I don't want to go through them if they've already been done. Cheers. ElinorD (talk) 06:13, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, it seemed a bit silly to cross out/invisiblize the last batch, so I just stuck a note at the top when I finished them. --RobthTalk 12:45, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Astronaut
Thanks very much for the astronaut. Now let's hope people won't post copyvio's anymore. Right....:). A bit related, do you perhaps know somewhere a free image of an easter bunny? To replace the one mentioned on Wikipedia:Copyright problems/Other. Since it's on so many user pages. Garion96 (talk) 14:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks, that one works, must have missed that one when I searched on Commons. I deleted the old image and uploaded this with the old filename. Garion96 (talk) 15:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

IFD
I absolutely did consider the legal question. Our image is much smaller than their cover and I don't believe they are going to lose any sales over our reduced-size image being shown here. If you think there is some threat to their commercial rights then the best thing to do would be to make our image even smaller. Johntex\talk 18:26, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Any time the image is owned by someone else, they have a potential to be trying to sell it. The argument you are attempting to make could also be made for images like the photo of Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima. Fair use law allows us to make use of small sections of published works. That would include a suitable resolution image of a magazine cover. Johntex\talk 18:38, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your comments. I still disagree with your interpretation. If the matter is important to you then I suggest you take that closure to Deletion Review. Best, Johntex\talk 18:54, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Parthenon
Hi, Robth! As a matter of fact, what has to do with the Older Parthenon was not written by me. I just created the sub-article with the already existing material, and summarized it in the Parthenon article. So, I did not actually add much material of my own, but this is an issue I definitely have to check. I'll be back in a couple of days.--Yannismarou 13:53, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

RfC
Just wanted to let you know that I opened an RfC on my actions during a dispute concerning the Gary Weiss article. You were involved in part of the discussion here: [4]. By the way, I never thanked you for coming to my defense during that discussion. I apologize for not doing so and thank you for your support. The RfC is here and I welcome any questions or comments you might have. CLA 13:18, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Notification
As a courtesy to you, given it appears no-one (including the involved RfA candidate) bothered to inform you, your oppose !vote at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dfrg.msc is being discussed specifically at WT:RFA. I made a comment about this at the actual RfA, here. Thought you'd like to know, Daniel 07:47, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Meetup
Dear Robth,
You have either attended or expressed interested in the previous NYC Meetup. I would like to invite you to the First Annual New York Wikipedian Central Park Picnic. R.S.V.P. @ Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC -- Y not? 14:24, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

My RfA
Dear Robth, thank you for you efforts to build consensus on my RfA. As you know, it was unsuccessful. I am not the type of editor to be disheartened by such a result, and have gained much experience.
I will run again, however I am concerned that I may see your name in the same place, for the same reasons. I would greatly appreciate knowing what I could do to earn your support next time.
If you have anything to contribute by way of improvements or comments, please don’t hesitate to tell me. Kind regards, Dfrg.msc 00:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
