[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Motown_25:_Yesterday,_Today,_Forever&diff=prev&oldid=234371347] this was not reverting vandalism, and it appears you are in an editing dispute with this user.

Revision as of 06:12, 27 August 2008
Everyone has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek, receive and impart information and ideas through any media and regardless of frontiers.
— Article 19 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
What's up?
I was strongly considering blocking you for disruption (but I'd prefer it doesn't come to that.) It's been going on for days, at least. Will you stop, or will someone need to stop you? Friday (talk) 16:58, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Constructive suggestion?
Hey, thanks for your responsiveness about the "Stolen Earth" images. Now, let me genuinely try to be constructive for once, in return: how about that other old idea of yours about having an image from that climax scene of the doctor dying? It would be a bit similar to the "Last of the Time Lords" one we fought over so hard, but unlike in that case, here you'd actually have the "critical analysis" in place, because the scene is covered substantially, and not just in the sense of a renarration of the plot. How about one of those with Rose holding the dying Doctor in her arms, like here, caption along the lines of: "The climactic final scene, described as a "bitter moment of high emotion", as the Doctor is seemingly dying in Rose's arms. (bah, a bit long, but you get my drift.) (Trouble is, if you want it in the infobox, you'll probably want a longish caption to make the analytic significance transparent. In my opinion at least, it really helps if the caption refers explicitly to the analytic aspect, rather than just to the plot.) Fut.Perf. ☼ 17:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Tag at WP:CIV
Actually I had best intentions when putting that up, and was meaning it to be pointy. I apologise that it came across that way. However, when one person disputes a page, the tag should be applicable to one person. I don't see a reason to have the full tag on the page because it's not disputed, so I replaced it with one for an individual user. No other meaning was intended or implied, and I was reverted for being pointy (which I wasn't being), so I consider this matter concluded. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 20:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
- heh. Is that first sentence Freudian? (was meaning it to be pointy ?) Keeper ǀ 76 20:51, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Rock music WikiProject
I'd like to invite you to join the newly-formed Rock music WikiProject. There's alot of Rock-related articles on Wikipedia that could use a little attention, and I hope this project can help organize an effort to improve them. So please, take a look and if you like what you see, help us get this project off the ground and a few Rock music pages into the front ranks of Wikipedia articles. Thanks! --Be Black Hole Sun (talk) 09:04, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

DYK
I have directly contacted members in the discussion about DYK directly on their talk page so that we can all come to an understanding. Many of the DYK people feel sensitive over abrupt changes to DYK because of recent history. I hope you can understand and respect that. There are strong feelings on both sides, and the action has been done. Ryan offered to allow another admin willing to change it to do so. However, its no longer on the main page, so I hope we can all move on without too much ill will and a mutual understanding of everyone's feelings and worries. How does that sound? :) Ottava Rima (talk) 01:32, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, that was pretty dumb of you. "Criticism of" articles are not always POV forks... especially in the case of large computing articles, as Windows Vista certainly is, it's a simple WP:SUMMARY-style expansion. This is amply explained in the very guideline you attempted to hold up as a reason for its deletion. In the future, when considering whether to put up an article for deletion, do some research as to why the article was created in the first place. Also, reviewing a prior AfD to see what people thought of it then is useful research, too -- not a single person voted to delete the article then. Your future commitment to not wasting other editors' time will be appreciated.... thanks. Warren -talk- 08:00, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Megan's Law
Please do not erase 2/3 of an article (Megan's Law) without consensus and discussion. I will continue to revert such edits and may report them to the administration as vandalism if you insist on wholesale deletion rather than helping to make the content fit the policies you cite. Deleting the content makes it unavailable to be repaired or re-worded to fit the policies. Feel free to rewrite or modify the text to fit policies, but simple removal of it all is not a solution to the problem. Daivox (talk) 14:33, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
- I have received a third opinion, taken a long, hard look at the article's content, and determined that even if the policy violations were ignored, the content belongs in sex offender registration if it belongs anywhere, and it is also a spaghetti mess that isn't really worth repairing. Thus, you were right, I was wrong, and I've taken the steps needed to remove those sections cleanly. A little bit of the content was salvageable, but not much. Daivox (talk) 19:48, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Looking through the edit history for this article, I notice you have removed large chunks of this article without explanation either in the edit summaries or on the talk page. The sections removed cited numerous reliable sources and were written in the style of sections apparent on many Doctor Who articles. Please could you explain why you think these cuts are necessary, especially as I think they should be restored? Wolf of Fenric (talk) 16:58, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
- OK, thanks for that break-down. I'm pretty sure that defences line is muttered by the Doctor whilst he's at the console, something like "I let the defences down for one second..." - I remember watching that bit back to make sure as I think it was another editor who added that originally and I hadn't noticed it myself first time around. As for IMDB, I think it's an acceptable source when used carefully. I'm aware people vandalise that site, but after a programme has been shown, IMDB's data can be verified. I might add a couple of points (like the defences bit) back when I go over this article and the Doctor Who Prom article. I've been meaning to add a few points to the latter and was going to transfer some points from the former to the latter that are more appropriate there now that exists. I think some other editors have already done much of this work though, so that's a help. P.S. I've pointed you in the direction of some useful reviews on the WikiProject discussion page. Wolf of Fenric (talk) 17:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Tha Carter III
Why did you revert my edit to the talk page of this article? The information that I removed is inappropriate for inclusion on a talk page, including file-sharing links (Wikipedia is not a file-sharing service), irrelevant discussion about editors' feelings on whether or not tracks should be / should have been on the album, and other discussions best-suited for a fan site (Wikipedia is not a fan site). --Winger84 (talk) 19:48, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Why ask?
I've offered my opinions, and yiou dismiss them. When I offer some changes, you revert them. I am not sure why you sought my opinion if you are not willing to compromise. - Arcayne (cast a spell) 16:14, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Max Mosley
Hi again. By way of illustration of why it's a bad idea to de-list GAs when there's little work to be done on them to maintain their status, Max Mosley is still not back at GA. Not because anyone doesn't think it's of high enough quality. The very small amount of work required to maintain GA status was done a month ago. However a combination of the GAR process, which seems now to be very confusing, the lengthy GA nom list for sports articles, and an argument that blew up out of nowhere (see talk:Max Mosley) means it's still at B-class.
A vast amount of energy has been expended over the last month by myself, Geometry Guy, Giggy, D.M.N, Resolute and Narson, in return for really quite small changes to the article. Because we all agree that it is of GA quality, with the minor changes, which I would have made if you had simply raised the issue at the article talk page or directly with me in the first place. Please, when you are considering de-listing articles in future, have this question in mind: "what is the most efficient way of mainting the quality of this article?" Cheers. 4u1e (talk) 07:28, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
There is a disagreement over the inclusion of Image:AntiSmokingNaziGermany.jpg in the article in Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Anti-tobacco movement in Nazi Germany. For this reason a consensus is necessary and discussion is going on in Talk:Anti-tobacco_movement_in_Nazi_Germany#Consensus_for_Image:AntiSmokingNaziGermany.jpg.

- Are you only interested in discussion when it goes your way? I see that you have decided to AGAIN remove the table from the Trial of a Time Lord article even though you don't seem to be able to make a very good case that it is a copyright violation. Do you want to let us know your reasoning please? --Deadly∀ssassin 01:35, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Early close on Lists of Dungeons & Dragons monsters
That was unexpected but appreciated - and thanks for the page move as well. I don't remember, but you may have been one of the admins to whom I talked to about these lists previously, and who helped me with restoring edit histories and such. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd edition monsters may not be heading for a snowball close though, but we'll see where it goes. BOZ (talk) 14:30, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- I believe this was inappropriately closed. There was genuine discussion happening here and I don't see what is gained by closing it early. Perhaps you would like to reopen it? MSGJ (talk) 15:01, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
- It would be a shame to have to take it to DRV. There are several reasons why this was a bad close, as I'm sure you can recognise. Cheers, MSGJ (talk) 18:23, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
I am disappointed, Sceptre, that you decided to ignore my messages. Anyhow I have reopened this AfD debate and I would ask that you be more careful about applying speedy keep in future, as this one certainly did not meet the guidelines. Best wishes, MSGJ (talk) 03:14, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
+Rollbacker
Done per a note on my talkpage confirming the off-wiki discussion with MBisanz. Rollback is no big deal, and after a week and a bit, and an acknowledgement of a genuine misunderstanding, I'm willing to return the tool, with the proviso that any admin may remove it without consulting me. Fritzpoll (talk) 22:13, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
MyWikiBiz
As someone who thought this article should be recreated, closing it early seems like a really bad idea given the massive history and strong emotions concerning this issue. Better to let it go for the full time and then be closed by an admin. JoshuaZ (talk) 23:51, 23 August 2008 (UTC)
Image resolution
Hi Will. I reverted the scaled-down Time Crash image, as it degraded the image in the infobox. I tend to use 512 as the default format which should meet NFC without problems. Each image I upload has the best attainable quality by using custom gamma- and sharpening levels during scaling. Simply scaling it down again caused the image to blur even more, and this particular frame was already suffering from considerable motion-blur that was very hard to supress. Hope you don't mind. — Edokter • Talk • 21:43, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Hope you're feeling better. I removed a speedy tag from Shmuel Herzfeld. The article definitely contains some notability claims. You could try AfD? Anyway, thanks for tagging. --Dweller (talk) 16:09, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
Deletion of Terracon Consultants, Inc.
I was working on the page and had just saved it so as not to lose all the research I was putting in; you nominated it for speedy deletion and I put a "hold on" marker on it. I had just pasted my rationale into the talk page when it indicated that it had been deleted already. This happened over the span of 3 minutes.
If you want to delete a page for lack of notability, and you want people to explain why it is notable, you need to give them a chance to do so. Otherwise, it's like that Mitch Hedberg joke -- "you know what I like? Mashed Potatoes!" . . . Dude, you gotta give me time to guess.
I'm going to recreate the page and hope that you give me 4 1/2 minutes this time because, I assure you, my contributions to Wikipedia so far have been nothing but constructive, positive, and worthy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JJEagleHawk (talk • contribs) 17:43, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
