Oh man! I'm really sorry! I thought I was writing that under a new reply with some other things. Sorry about that, glad you caught it. Mαc Δαvιs ( How's my driving?) ❖ 21:39, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
You just admonished a user IP address!
Here is an even bigger one: Wikipedia has rules governing that as well.
Feeling selectively judgemental today, admin?
Racists are always morons, and will be addressed as such in any forum, message board, or summary. I care not whether they get their feelings hurt by the commentary.
Have a good one. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.22.22.101 ( talk) 22:30, 28 March 2007 (UTC).
Thanks for uploading Image:CathyFreeman-Stamp.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that fair use images which could be replaced by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted 48 hours after this notification, per our Fair Use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Abu badali ( talk) 18:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi again Ezeu,
Thanks for taking the trouble to post the above. Rather than deletion, perhaps a review of the template's contents might be timely, with reference to similar templates; it would probably also benefit from addition of one or more links to ‹The template Cat is being considered for merging.› Category:Uganda / Portal:Uganda / List of Uganda-related topics. Hope all well, David Kernow (talk) 19:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, you supposed cleanup on that page was really more of a complete emptying of any significant content. It is now less than a stub, something probably not even worth keeping for very long. But it was really more of hack job. You're supposed link to the Transwiki source (Wikisource?) on the notes describing the change is a broken link that does not work and leads really nowhere! Great "cleanup" job. I suggest you at least restore it to what it was before your attempt to almost basically eliminate the subject from the database. For example, the ending of the previous page had all the important subject connections and links (categories), and that should have never been touched at all. I guess if you don't fix the mess, I will have to go back and really clean up the mess you created. I'd appreciate it if you did it yourself, as behooves a respectable Wikimedia editor. Thanks. warshy 17:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up - i didn't think i did it right. Hopefully, now it is right. How long does this usually take? I have been pretty frustrated by the inconsistencies in these categories when participating in Wikipedia:WikiProject Categories/uncategorized. Scarykitty 03:52, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
How come and how do you know this? I remember reading about pygmies of South America in a book I have, now all I need to do is find the book so i can site it. TeePee-20.7 09:20, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Dear Ezeu: Thank you so much for your kind e-mail. You have made my day. :-)
I am really honoured that my message to you - humble as it was, and indeed it could have been better written - prevented you from feeling unwelcome as a result of your initial article creation being deleted. I can but try and make sure that I am respectful to people, and explain things to them; I don't always succeed in living up to my moralisms, I freely admit, thus making me something of a hypocrite at times. I think, though, at least if one tries, one is working towards a better goal, and if one can make any kind of difference somewhere, it's worth it.
Of course, it is to you, not I, that the credit is really due; for braving that initial period of rejection that nearly every single new Wikipedia editor encounters when they first start, and "learning the ropes", as it were. I offer you my most sincere congratulations for your progress, and my deepest thanks to you for continuing on our project; I do hope that you have the best of success in your editing endeavours. If any situation should arise in which I may be able to assist you further, please remember that I am always at your service. Yours, -- NicholasTurnbull | (talk) 19:58, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
There's nothing published by PBS under their topic of "Religion & Ethics" that is not well reviewed and highly notable. The author is an ordained Baptist minister with a PhD from Harvard. It is an abuse to invoke the 3rv rule when I am systematically addressing your concerns. My latest edit (removing external links) is different from my previous one, and so is not strictly a reversion. 63.98.135.196 23:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
This sounds like a lot of your POV, considering the review is very well written, citing interesting outside information, and the author has written two books on religion: THE TALKING BOOK: AFRICAN AMERICANS AND THE BIBLE ( Yale University Press, 2006) and A LOVE SUPREME: A HISTORY OF THE JOHANNINE TRADITION (Augsburg Fortress Publishers, 2005). First, read the review you dismiss so lightly at http://www.pbs.org/wnet/religionandethics/week1008/review.html or is it your position that no review is notable? Also, why would you threaten me with the 3RR when I've reverted your edit only ONCE and that AFTER first addressing your concerns (outside links)? My new version was not identical to a previous version (the definition of a revert) because of my good-faith edits to address YOUR concerns. Now, you seem motivated by a POV consideration and to have reverted to an identical version. Isn't that right? 63.98.135.196 23:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
You may want to weigh in at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 April 15#List of songs containing covert references to real musicians, since you were involved in a previous discussion of this article. - Jmabel | Talk 05:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi, are you an admin? The user who vandalised my page is a banned user called User:Eoganan and User:Pan-ethnic. This person has vandlised my page many times, and always edits the same articles in the same POV fashion. He has a very consistent editing style. Can you block this IP? Is it OK to make this request? Thanks for any help. Alun 06:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Regarding Yoweri Museveni, I removed the citation because the Executive Intelligence Review is not considered a reliable source due to it being the main organ of the LaRouche Movement. I'm not saying that the assertion being sourced in the article is necessarily untrue but if there's any question about it a more reliable source should be found. - Will Beback · † · 07:29, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
Why did you revert my change? I did take it to talk, and suggested removing the critisism section since it is duplication of existing information on that page. It serves no purpose, and considering the article is already long it is a good part to remove. Perhaps you should visit the talk section before you critisize my changes.

Thanks for citing inflation in Zimbabwe on Robert Mugabe. KazakhPol 04:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of The Game (game). Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Sorry to bring this back up but it is now verified by two published sources. Thanks. Kernow 15:43, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
What's up with that image? I cannot figure out why it doesn't appear. Timneu22 18:17, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
Unfortunately none of them apply. I would like to remove the word "short" as I believe it will be a while and not "short" before I will want to be active here again. Sincerely, -- Mattisse 15:06, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
Sorry, do you have any idea about how that could have happened? I thought I had only changed one sentence? I did not do a revert. Is there any way to get an old page with just the "edit this page" tab?-- Africangenesis 15:13, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ezeu
Wikimania 2007, which is being held in Taipei, Taiwan on August 3-5, is offering opportunities for travel scholarships to Wikimania for active users of Wikimedia projects from the continent of Africa. Although the original scholarship deadline has passed, please, if you are interested, you may still apply at http://wm07schols.wikimedia.org/apply.php. Sincerely yours, Cary Bass 21:01, 30 April 2007 (UTC)
I am defending my rights within the law - so it isn't a threat, it is a concrete statement. What he did is an attempt at defamation of character, period. It is one thing to throw in a personal attack - but what he is doing is an attack upon my work, my reputation, and my character. It is unwarranted, unjust, and if it isn't retracted - it will be more. That isn't a threat, that is a fact. There have been lawsuits won for a whole lot less. I respond with passion because I am both innocent of what he claims (and quite shocked, actually, at such an attempt to claim what is completely arbitrary and subjective), and I am upset at the fact that there is no action as of yet.

hi!
i am a new wikipedian, so i dont know really what to do. my whole history is on my talk page(SteveNash11), but i left it there for a day and no one readed and posted any suggsetions. so then i decided to just ask directly to a random admin. i'm not sure if ur busy or not, so im terribly sry if ur not allowing this type of comment. to make a long story short, my dad told me to vandal wikipedia(and give me his account). i tried and it got blocked. it is fun, just like my dad said, but i dont know if its the right thing..........—The preceding unsigned comment was added by SteveNash11 ( talk • contribs) 03:43, 8 May 2007 (UTC).

You asked in your edit summary: "why was Democratic Party removed?" Because it isn't known as DP, according to its article. -- JHunterJ 01:02, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I have been trying to create an entry for an organization called, Color Africa. Because of a lack of sources I have been unable to do so. I have recently come across a couple of sources that should help solidify this entry. You can view these sources by viewing www.colorafrica.com/news.html. Please let me know if this is enough to once again recreate this article. 66.142.0.235 14:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Can you give me examples of "notable news sources" so that I know what to look for? 66.142.0.235 14:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Another article has been written about Color Africa. You can view it by viewing www.colorafrica.com/news.html (It is the Eagle Press article). Let me know if I can now create an article about this project now, or if we still need more. 66.142.0.137 21:31, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ezeu, could you please have a look at this request at African-American organized crime? Thanks in advance. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up® 15:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Not satisfied with losing argument after argument on his own talk page, JzG has deleted the discussion we were having on the MIS talk page, and locked the page. Would you be so kind as to help me out? I am really fed up with that guy; he acts like god, and is doing everything he can to advance his personal prejudice on this subject. I have saved the debate on his talk page to my computer, in case he decides to delete and/or lock that aswell. Bards 14:16, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
It does seem to me that JzG is allowing his point of view and personal prejudice to drive his decisions in this case. There is clearly a small but growing number of men in the English speaking world who elect to wear skirted garments for whom a Wikipedia article, such as the one so arbitrarily deleted, would have been a valuable resource. Tazzymutt 15:31, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi Ezeu, can you please take a look at this article, Garrett A. Morgan, and some of the discussion on the talk page. I don't know what to do, and do not want to jump to the wrong conclusions, ie (racist) propaganda, or sneaky discrediting, nor do I wish to, on the other hand, aggrandize or create other falsehoods in the other direction which may not be factual or "plumped up" either. Thanks for any input you can give. - Jeeny Talk 18:57, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

So, let's see if I have this correctly. Man in a skirt ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) was blocked on the 8th of May. His unblock request was then declined on the 9th. You then turn up weeks later and in a seemingly drive-by fashion unblock him, overruling more than one fellow admins in the process, and without a note to anyone's talk page or AN saying this is what you've done, and ignoring that there was more to the block than just a sock accusation. – Steel 13:33, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

In this diff, you removed a comment by User:Jacketeer from Talk:Scrotum, identifying it as "nonsense". I feel that you stepped over the line by removing what was a clearly stated concern about content, so I have reverted the edit. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this.

Thanks for signing up for the Discrimination WP, it's good to start seeing interest. This is my first attempt at starting a WikiProject.

Thanks for uploading Image:The_Road_Less_Traveled.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Bigr Tex 22:34, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
