User:Bdean1963 has refused to answer any call to discuss the dispute in the "Talk Page" in both articles. What should I do? I believe that after exposing my case and not hearing anything from the other party involved, I have already done more than enough to solve this dispute.
Still, another user is asking for a ban against my person, motivated by personal and ideological differences, clearly supporting User:Bdean1963 position in this dispute. Once the protection is lifted, I believe I have the right to revert it to its original estate.
Since you are the person that Protected the article after I request it, I would appreciate any sort of advice from your part, and if I'm doing the right thing. Messhermit 14:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I appreciate you for giving your thoughts on my RfA. Even though I wasn't going to, is there a way you can cancel your RfA, or should I just let it time out? -- Extranet ( Talk | Contribs) 00:40, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Many thanks for semi-protecting my user page. I hope it will deter somewhat the increasing incidents of vandalism in, I suspect, retaliation for me reverting vandalism and playting a part in reporting the vandals. DDStretch (talk) 00:08, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
It is extremly unfair. You have protected version of Biophys. And it is discrimination of me. Biophys deleted and reverted all texts done not only by me, but by administrators Mikkalai, Alex Bakharev. So it is just simply protection of Biophys version. I oppose that kind of thing. I would like to ask Alex Bakharev or Mikkalai to revert the article back to their version. Vlad fedorov 04:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Cbrown. I created this page Here a few days ago. Someone has recommended it to be wikified. You seem like a well-established user, so any ideas on how it could be improved would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. JFBurton 13:14, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for protection status of Winston Churchill. It took less than 5 minutes for a reply, you certainly are quick! LordHarris 15:13, 4 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cbrown, there is a problem with Out & About with Brewer & Berg, which I tagged as copyvio, as this was the most obvious up-top problem, but apparently the film-maker is there and he may provide copyright permission. However the article doesn't follow policies and guidelines and I don't wish to give the person (who doesn't seem to have any experience with Wikipedia) a bad time with incomplete statements. Please take a look. Hoverfish Talk 15:33, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Do you think that you can reassess the Dreamgirls (film) article? I am kind of being biased, but I noticed that the difference between the B and the A rating is that the B rating has unsourced information, but the A rating has sourced information. The FA rating has gone far out and beyond the wikistandards, right? Or, do you think it would be more proper to have someone else reassess the article? Real96 00:06, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Alright maybe we can talk this out. See I believe that the article was unfairly deleted/protected I mean sure it didn't technically have that many third party sources but for all the controversy it caused on Youtube and many site raids in general I believe it is a noteworthy article seeing as how Uncyclopedia didn't technically have any third party sources and is basically the same thing.
-- CartoonDiablo 01:21, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Just noticed that a request for semi-protection on this article was knocked back by yourself. For my future reference, what would constitute enough recent activity to justify the protection? Thanks. thewinchester 01:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for adding the semi-protection, however we had semi-protection and once it came off the unregisted users went edit crazy. When the current protection expires can we see what the activity is like and if there are still a crazy amount of edits then can a full-protection be added? Cheers. Darrenhusted 02:29, 5 February 2007 (UTC)
WIthout getting in to the ins and outs of the situation there is no new information to add to this page, there is a dispute about one piece of information, and this is the source of most of the edits, even when semi-protected. There are about four Wikipedians (including myself) who are watching the page but at least once a day we have to revert edits, and there are three archives of discussion where the one edit issue has been agreed upon but a few users insist on editing the page and it is becoming a hassle to keep the page in order. A full protect would send a message that the page does not need editing further for the moment, and in fact there is little which could happen in the near future which would alter this page. In essense what I am asking is that the page be full protected for a trial period, if real life event require changes to be made then the small group of Wikipedians who currently monitor it will simply ask to edit it. I hope that a full protection will put an end to the last few weeks of editing which do nothing more than try to introduce original research in to this article. Thank you for your time Cbrown1023. Darrenhusted 01:47, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
(in addition to the above) As an illustration there have been 250 edits to the page since the beginning of the year.
Darrenhusted 02:01, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh well, can't do any harm to ask. Thanks for your thoughts on this matter. Darrenhusted 02:04, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Chris, I was wondering if you might be able to help me in this odd situation. There's been some major blatant vandalism on Kinetoscope, a featured article, where an anon IP deleted an entire section of the text. Unfortunately, I can't revert it because one of the citations is now setting off the spam blacklist, even though the link itself is legit. Is there anything you might be able to do as an admin to rectify this as speedily as possible? (I was hoping to get this article on the front page sometime soon.) Thanks, Girolamo Savonarola 11:25, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm for not properly requesting unprotection, however it did it wrong. I tried to follow the instructions, which were very confusing.(And, I was guided there as well for a place to formally request for page protection(in this case, semi-protection to Bill Gates.) I've been recently watching the article for unconstuctive changes, and then I thought had a leginamate reason to do make the request, because I encounterd a pattern of vandalism to Bill Gates continue, which all started after being un-protected. I won't try to make the request again, but I only did it because the article was under repeated vandalism.-- Wikipedier 22:31, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Could you please write that in english, Cbrown1023?. That line in (broken) Spanish is open to different interpretations. Thank you. Randroide 12:28, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Fine.
Could you please write that line in english in my userpage in es:Wikipedia (just below your last line in Spanish)?.
If you can, that will be a small ray of light in the darkness of the Spanish Wikipedia. My page is monitored by friends and enemies adversaries alike.
Your line in Spanish would be as follows:
Thank you very much, Cbrown1023. If you need anything from an Spanish speaker, please drop me a line. Randroide 13:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your second line at my es:Wiki Talk Page. It is a very powerful morale booster.
If that line of yours would finish as the only reward for all the work I did and I will do trying to uncover what´s going on in the Spanish Wikipedia, is enough reward.

Since I asked for semi-protection of the article, an admin recently took off semi-protection because the article was on the main page. Should the admins take a vote in order to semi-protect the page on the discussion page or at WP:AI? Real96 13:11, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

semi-protect. Large amounts of EDU IP vandalism, from its students. Mdwyer 03:55, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for you message on my talk page. However, if you look you will notice that I rewrote the section in an effort to reach a consensus. User:TheEditor20 reverted this back to his unreliable, POV edit. I have reported this as 3RR. Furthermore if you look through the history of him, his previous username User:Edgovan20 and the various IPs he has used you will see that he is a habitual vandal. However I do acknowledge that perhaps my reversions were excessive. -- BMT 18:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
I think that BMT's sources do not carry the same validity as those I have provided for the section. The section has merit in explaining to the reader why the character Ben Thompson is not so well known in modern times, and I think just because one user disputes it does not warrant it's removal. I appreciate that everything should be looked at from a neutral POV, and if BMT can find a reliable source for the information he provided then by all means he can add it. However, this does not mean he can remove another, arguably more prominent POV. By reliable and valid souces I mean major stories in credible published newspapers, which would not have a bias for wanting to make him appear famous (such as a website devoted to selling Ben Thompson era mechandise).-- TheEditor20 17:20, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Can this article have a GA nom and a FA nom at the same time? Thanks. Real96 02:02, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi Cbrown,
I agree with u about that possible vandalism should be hindered. However, this article is completely different from that of Turkish version. It means that this issue can be understood different ways because of languages, and English is much more broader than Turkish. This is unfair. Because I want to remove conflict between both articles, and so that Turkish thesis can be given objectively, I demand unprotection on "The Armenian Genocide" article. On the other hand, one of the administrator, Arjun01, blocked my IP as marked vandalism. In my sentences, there is no vandalism considering wikipedia policy. Therefore,I think turkish and english version of the wikipedia explanation about this issue should be the same.
Than u!

Hi, I saw you gave start to a Tollywood film ( Simhadri) that misses some of the sections we require for start. Minutes before I gave class stub to Okkadu, which has more sections. Just to be consistent with you, should we use other standards for assessing Indian cinema? - Actually I just saw that Supernumerary gave stub to Tagore (film), so I will pull Simhadri down to stub, until we are sure what is right to do. Hoverfish Talk 08:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you to be so insistent in writing this warning on my talk page. However I don't want it as I concider it totally undue.
First, it was the result of the personal vandetta of another contributor against me, as he reported the edit war way after everything was ended.
Second, the contributor that reported me has not been warned in any kind, while he was the one who started an edit war, as I've explained in the 3RR notice board: he had reverted me 3 times without any attempt at justifying his edits, without even reading my contributions to the talk page of the article.
Third, you say that "Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. " That's funny because that's exactly what I did.
Before editing anything in the article, I explained in a very detailed way what I thought of the edits needed in the talk page. I quoted various lines from various official Wikipedia policies to back up my claims. However my edits were blindly reverted, and the 2 contributors who did it didn't even bother to read my explanations in the talk page and to answer them. And I'm the one warned, and they get nothing ?
No, no, no, I'm not going to accept to be treated like this, I have been notified, it will show in the history of my personal talk page, however as I personally concider this warning totally undue, and since no one even bothered to take into account my explanations on the 3RR notice board, I will not display it. Folken de Fanel 20:13, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
You closed the "Discover the Networks" AfD [4] in a manner that I've criticized (in passing, not at length and usually only by implication, and without naming you, but still...) as a "drive-by delete". In the interest of AGF I'd like to invite you to close the "David Horowitz Freedom Center" AfD [5]. Been thinking about it for a bit, and the gesture has been somewhat devalued by the fact it's turned into such a rout, but I'd still like to make it. Andyvphil 23:31, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Could you clarify reasons for the 'keep' decision, it still looks like unverifiable original research which mis-cites its sources to me! Thanks. -- Davémon 15:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
I admit my grounds are shakey - after all it's impossible to prove a negative (i.e I can't prove that there are no secondary sources for the so-called-phrase) - however no evidence emerged to forward the positive case that these sources do exist. None of the keep arguments actually addressed the issues of WP:OR, WP:V or WP:NPOV. As for the 'Keeps' themselves, 1 was made before I'd fully written out the reason (my mistake!) - so is only responding to dicdef. 1 was the original author. 1 was a claim about 'importance' (which contravenes WP:N?). Also, I don't want to finger point, but the final one of the Keeps was an anonymous users first edit - possibly a sock-puppet? So I'm not sure a consensus was actually reached as such. -- Davémon 17:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading Image:TheGoodSonDVDCover.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

"Weak keep on the verge of no consensus"? Wow, we're getting detailed over at AfD now.
I suppose it's more honest, but I miss the good old days of just keep, delete, speedy delete and no consensus (Has there been a "weak delete on the verge of no consensus" yet?).
Anyway, as the article creator, thanks for recognizing at least mildly that it was at least somewhat a bogus nom. Daniel Case 15:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Cbrown1023
Hope you are fine. Abbas Kiarostami passed GA assessment. I also made some more copyedits afterwards. For reducing the size of the article I splitted the article into two articles. The whole "cinematic style" section and "micro-digital cinema" was moved into Cinematic style of Abbas Kiarostami. The latter article is the result of copy pasting with no other changes (except for adding some more citations). Therefore I trimmed the cinematic style section in Abbas Kiarostami and I reduced the size of the article from 74 to 54 kb. I've just checked the FA assessment page and I saw an article with 64 kb size was going through with no major objection.
In summary I think the article is pretty much ready for FA candidacy. However I would like to ask you to take a look at it, particularly the citematic style section. I want to be sure that the section is still understandable and informative after the trimming process. The rest of the article has not change since the peer review (except for what GA reviewer suggested: WP:MoS etc). Thanks and have a nice weekend. Sangak 19:46, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I'm one of the people whose edits have been reverted by Dposse. You recently locked an article on his request in order to stop a "reversion war." I'd like to point out that it's Dposse that hasn't been ascribing to the rules listed in the Help:Reverting#When to revert document. He's been talked to about this by User:Madchester on his talk page. I'd also like to point you at ongoing discussion about this issue on my own talk page, his talk page and on the Peter Petrelli talk page. Since you're currently locking the document and enforcing his "revert first, then ask questions" policy, I'd like you to be involved in the conversation until it's resolved. Thank you, Twinotter 22:35, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
My request for adminship has closed successfully (79/0/1), so it appears that I am now an administrator. Thanks very much for your vote of confidence. If there's anything I can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to let me know. IrishGuy talk 02:56, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for reminding me about the formal acceptance, though I do feel a slight urge to tweak the templates used so that line is either left off, or has text simply saying "(Self-nomination)" put under it if you use the "Nominate yourself" option. Some people are very silly. Adam Cuerden talk 05:25, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was (47/0/0) upon closure and now phase I is complete. I think the tools will aid both me and the encyclopedia. Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page, or if you think I'm misbehaving I'm always open to recall. Thanks, James086 Talk 13:24, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
In User:Adam Cuerden's RfA you put a note below a comment I made that I should not bite the one good oppose. I am just noting that you made the same exact comment at the same exact time in the commenting on the previous oppose vote. It appeared nonsequitur so I deleted it. If I made a mistake, you may return it. Just figured I should tell you about this. Captain panda In vino veritas 14:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi
I would like to invite all those who reviewed "Abbas Kiarostami" during last two months to comment on the article at this "final" stage. The article is now featured article candidate. In case you have any comment, please let me know on the Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Abbas Kiarostami page. Thanks. Sangak 16:21, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for protecting the articles. -- Nlu ( talk) 16:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
Can you please check in Wikipedia:WikiProject awards/WikiProject and see if I wrote the text/credits correctly? Also I don't know why it displays red within the subst template. The page name is right. Maybe we need tech-wiz help to make it like the others. Hoverfish Talk 23:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
One more glitch? Although High Heels got the Film Award, category (Wikipedians awarded the Film Barnstar) wasn't transcluded, so I added the cat in his Userpage manually. Thanks for the newsletter. Hoverfish Talk 23:21, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
:-)
wasn't subsituted, making the category not appear.

01:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)Hi there, I saw you placed a delete-nomination tag on Talk:List of number-one hits (United States), but the link in the tag actually points to the discussion for Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New Zealand Top 50 Singles of 2000. Should that tag really be there, or did you add it because List of number-one hits (United States) was mentioned within the discussion? I didn't want to revert anything without asking you first. - eo 01:29, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I asked for a deletion review of Miss Venezuela 2001. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. RebSkii 18:28, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for semiprotecting it. How long will the protection last? Respond here or on my talk page, either works. Steevven1 ( Talk) ( Contribs) ( Gallery) 01:28, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
... for the semi on my user page. Hopefully that'll keep the vandals at bay :) Thanks! - Alison ✍ 01:34, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for the award. It is greatly appreciated.-- PhantomS 03:27, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Why did you close this AfD with a result of Delete? 5 Delete votes to 3 Keep votes isn't enough to show evidence of consensus; it may be a majority, but "counting heads" is not the accepted or correct method to close AfDs. I am prepared to take this to WP:DRV if necessary. Wal ton Vivat Regina! 16:30, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
You can distribute it if you want, I just wanted to do it last month to see how it's done. It's good to see that the newsletter was cleaned up these last few days. We currently have a few more FA/GAs still in the nomination phase that may pass, but if worse comes to worse, they'd just go to next month's. I won't be able to edit until about 7:00p.m. my time, so if you think it's good, go ahead and distribute. If you can, update the infobox message, as the requests have now blossomed. By the way, once I finish this Oklahoma City bombing GA, I'll work on finishing the Gladiator (2000 film) to nominate for GA. -- Nehrams2020 21:25, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I'm glad you support Abbas Kiarostami -we have put in a lot of work on it!! Thankyou for taking the time to review and help out. Can I just ask you - how do you personalize your signature on wikipedia. Yours is green. How do you edit it ? Ernst Stavro Blofeld 22:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Below is a statement I find very offensive and its downright gross potty humor in my opinion. Why is this supposed administrator remarking to articles like this. I have asked in that past that he nuance his statements and you may look this up if you want direct statements. It almost makes me want to Keep this particular article just because Hoary cannot nuance and puts down the Catholic church and lets face it this is just plain discusting the way he welds his hand on WP. I cannot believe his audicity in some of his latest remarks on Ebonics and such. This needs to be taken seriously. I know he has run away many good people with great information. I cannot for the life of me understand how he can say the things he does with no oversight. This is the reason I bring this to your attention. Is there any way this can be dealt with accordingly? I wish something could be done. He is beginning personal attacks against some editors again. Artsojourner 23:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
R U Joe King, Mr Eye? Or, as an answer to your question, hmm, what's the negative equivalent of "Does a pope shit in the woods?" I get the strong impression that being listed by the "Cambridge Who's Who" depends less on the kind of merit that gets you listed by a "Who's Who" of one of the varieties that libraries bother with, and a lot more on your willingness to donate a couple of sawbucks or whatever is the going rate. -- Hoary 06:19, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
