Hi, I disagreed with your deletion of article List_of_big-bust_models_and_performers for the following reasons:
Consensus appeared in favor of Keep
Article is contains verifiable data
Consistently in the top 50 viewed pages on Wikipedia [Link removed]
This is strange. The {{recreated}} template must have changed since I started using it, because last time I remember checking it, it simply stated "Your re-created article was deleted per WP policy, do not re-create it, use
WP:DRV." The "you might be blocked without warning" bit was added since then. I guess I'll use test2article, although it doesn't specifically address the re-creation issue, but can you tell me why the recreated template was made so much harsher?

Hi, I appreciate the discretion you used when you posted the first admin noticeboard discussion on my talk page. I just wanted to get a summary from you on your concerns. I would appreciate it if you could post them here as I would prefer to get your independent thoughts without the others chiming in. Thanks.
Alan.ca04:23, 23 December 2006 (UTC)reply
Alan. I know you have been acting in good-faith; but others don't think so. I saw that some of the articles you prod'ed were clearly notable; or atleast deserved an AfD. You have been propounding the beauty of {{prod}} and saying that if the articles are notable then someone will remove the tags, and when Chacor and Tixotd decide to remove some of the tags from the page, you accuse them of contrib crawling. Please see that you tag the articles properly, otherwise it will only cause misunderstandings between users. You can take help from
Aaron, who, in my opinion, is an exemplary administrator. Cheers! —
Nearly Headless Nick08:43, 23 December 2006 (UTC)reply
Thanks for recognizing my good-faith intentions. I think I'm going to have some
WT:V discussion with other editors as it seems that the policy may not represent consensus. It seems that things change here as far as policy and maybe someone taking a fresh look at a newer version of a policy reaches a different conclusion than someone who has been around through the evolution of it. Aaron's advice was prophetic and I hope to grow from the experience. I hope we can meet up again under better circumstances.
Alan.ca10:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)reply
Nick, would it be possible for you to review the article
Hamilton, Ontario and make some suggestions from a quality perspective. I have near 60 edits into the article and could use an outside perspective.
Alan.ca10:05, 23 December 2006 (UTC)reply
I cannot understand your deleting a link from the
Derek Sherinian page for a YouTube video interview link. The intereview in question was SHOT for YouTube and identified as such at the head of the interview in front of all of the participants. Yet you deleted the link because of a COPYRIGHT question? We already went through this once, and you have repeated the same mistake. Furthermore, as even Jimmy Wales has publicly stated, the DMCA is the means to resolve YouTube type questions, not Wikipedia as an arbiter. And this is NOT even one of those issues, and it couldn't be more clear. The other link you deleted is covered under the DMCA, and the language you refer to I cannot find on WP:EL, although it may have been there at one point. Mr. Sherinian is very familiar his Wikipedia page, as is indicated on the Talk page, and has approved all of the outside links included. Reverted again.

Nearly Headless Nick12:35, 23 December 2006 (UTC)reply
Did you see the edit I made to the article the day before you deleted it? It fulfilled two of the requirements of the
WP:BIO and I included many verifiable references to point out that fact; they proved not only is she notable but a.) she's one of the most prolific and desired watercolorists in contemporary fantasy art, and b.) she's just as or more notable than most similar articles (on contemporary fantasy artists) that remain on Wikipedia. Would you please review that edit I made and reconsider your decision?

Hi, Sir Nicholas. Since I was one of the people who disagreed with your block of User:Malber, I also wanted you to know that I don't agree either with some of the more vociferous criticism that followed the block. The policy against an admin's blocking someone whom he or she is personally in a dispute with (whether it's a content dispute or, as here, more of a policy dispute) is a good one. The other problem I had with it was that you went pretty quickly from what seemed like partly joking around ("/me desyops myself ... /me desysops badlydrawnjeff") straight to a pretty long block, which I think surprised a lot of people, and 48 hours was a longish block just for disrupting a noticeboard. But at the same time I definitely hope this user will take into account some of the comments that have been made about his questioning style. We shall see what happens; hoping for the best. Regards,
Newyorkbrad17:15, 22 December 2006 (UTC)reply
We can only *hope* for the best. As it is quite evident, Malber has not yet quit his disruptive editing –
[1], nor has he waited for consensus –
[2],
[3],
[4]. Such long history of systematic disruption is not to be dealt in the way it is currently dealt in. —
Nearly Headless Nick17:22, 22 December 2006 (UTC)reply
You are quite unclear on what constitutes "disruption" (hint: diagreeing with you is NOT it) and this makes your apology regarding the block, your "plea" to the community to forgive to appear rather, er, insincere and contrived...
Cindery09:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)reply
Tell you what, I'll drop the whole matter and just get back to editing if you'd drop your pompousness and sanctimony just apologize for the inappropriate and out-of-process block. Here's your chance to be civil. —

As to "sockpuppet" allegations based on checkuser results: are you aware how few IPs there are in many third-world regions, and how much IP-sharing occurs as a result? –
SAJordantalkcontribs18:08, 24 Dec 2006 (UTC).
Clearly "Kuntan" is in fact used as a given name, in the real world. –
SAJordantalkcontribs01:00, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).
Is there any particular reason that you have chosen to stand up for a particularly vile troll, SAJordan? Kuntan and his idiotic sockpuppets have merrily trolled a number of RfA's, ANI, userspace, etc... --
Samir धर्म05:50, 25 December 2006 (UTC)reply
I'm not addressing his contrib history, I'm addressing the username issue — which is the only thing he was blocked for. If you want to have him blocked for trolling and sockpuppetry instead (and can prove those, better than the accusation about his name), go right ahead. But why is this spurious username block defended by simply
deleting a comment that questions it? –
SAJordantalkcontribs07:34, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).
If you check the history of
User_talk:Kuntan, you can see users including myself requesting him to change his obscene username. The word has an obscene meaning in
Malayalam. The user in question is indeed a
Malayali and is very much aware of the meaning of the word, as can been see from his edits to the
Kuntayithote article he made. The hideous images he had on his user page further point out his disruptive nature. Also, I also fully endorse the above mentioned revert. A blocked user's userpage is not the place to put up questions regarding his block.--
thunderboltz(Deepu)08:54, 25 December 2006 (UTC)reply
No, a blocked user's talk page is where an {unblock} request would be posted — but since that's been protected as a redirect to the user page, the user page is as close as anyone can get... and the blocked user himself can't post there, thus can't appeal on his own behalf. And with "Kuntan" being the name of a town in Malaysia, what happens when one of its residents says where he's from? Or wants his home town in his username, like
User:BostonMA or
User:Newyorkbrad? –
SAJordantalkcontribs20:40, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).
Common sense: don't advocate for trolls. Kuntan was blocked, and it's a good thing as he was inordinately disruptive (and still is; look at the offensive sockpuppets he's making). You don't know the history, and haven't taken the time to look it up, so I'd suggest that you not try to vilify Nick for a good administrative action. --
Samir धर्म09:35, 25 December 2006 (UTC)reply
"Vilify Nick"? I'm discussing a block and its justification, or lack thereof. This isn't about Nick himself, good, bad, up, or down. –
SAJordantalkcontribs20:40, 25 Dec 2006 (UTC).
I don't care whatever definitions exist for the word "Kuntan", he created the account for trolling and hence the
WP:USERNAME was absolutely inappropriate. You can check the contents of those particular categories and the later part of my talk page to see how he continues to disrupt Wikipedia by creating sockpuppets. Also, do not come up here after receiving requests from trolls. I know what I am doing. —
Nearly Headless Nick11:08, 25 December 2006 (UTC)reply
If someone creates an account
User:HellNorway (because he's from
Hell, Norway), the fact that "Hell" is in other contexts an expletive does not make it inappropriate in this context. We have a
User:Dreko, despite any possible accusation anyone might make that it contains the obscene word "Drek", because "Dreko" is a real-world given name, and even a company name. "Kuntan" is also a real-world given name (a football player and a police superintendant were given as examples in newspaper citations above), as well as a real-world town name. The same reasoning should apply. And if anyone, of any name, including "Nick" or "SA", uses an account for blockable offenses, that makes a block for those actions appropriate, but it doesn't make the
WP:USERNAME inappropriate. As for "do not come up here", does that mean don't communicate with you via your talk page? –

I can't believe you would have created an AfD in your userspace, and then asked a prospective RfA candidate to close it properly.

This, as you know, is completely inappropriate, as it deliberately bypasses
WP:AFD, aka, "the proper channels". Almost worse, is your asking someone whose WikiLife, as it were, hangs in the balance, to go and "catastrophically" edit your own WikiSpace. Far worse than that, of course, is the pandering response your request elicited, but still... What on earth were you thinking?! Op'n eck fæ Påstals,

watermarking the bloody things! I've tried to contact her, but there have been no replies. The fact that she re-uploaded images, adding the watermark, makes me sure this person is just trying to promote herself in this way.

I recently created an article
Image of Muhammad in the West because this topic is encyclopedic (e.g. Britannica Encyclopedia has an article on the same topic). I started this article and a section for that on the Muhammad page. Karl Meier is however redirecting the page to Muhammad. I think any redirection of a page into another one should be done through AfD process and editors can not do it themselves. All I am asking is for Karl Meier to fill an AfD form rather than edit warring on redirecting the page. I would appreciate if you could comment on that. Thanks --
