Deletion review: Image:KinseyTIME.jpg

I believe the image was deleted entirely against the clear language and spirit of our deletion policy and guidelines (as have so many...as I know you know). Here's the deletion review I initiated: Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Image:KinseyTIME.jpg. Best, Dan—DCGeist 06:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Abu al-Walid

Hey there, I noticed you just undid 82.27.39.34's edits on the Abu al-Walid article. First of all, thanks for that! Second, I don't think he's gonna stop. I have been reverting his edits for several days now and have already twice reported him as a vandal. What more can I do to stop him? Let me know if you can help me out. Thanks! ForrestSjap 07:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

I am indeed relatively new so I do not know the correct procedures for dealing with this situation. What is this warning system you mentioned? I have warned him once on the talk page of the article and I have also requested intervention by a third party. Also, if he is guilty of breaching 3RR, than so am I because I keep reverting his edits. You can reply here if you wish, I will check. Again thanks. ForrestSjap 07:49, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Be careful not to violate the 3RR rule in the process of reverting. I am about to block the IP. Stifle (talk) 20:06, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I was afraid that I may have done that already. I was considering his removal of cited material to be vandalism and thus not subject to WP:3RR. If an admin, however, didn't judge it to be vandalism as I had then I'd be up the creek. --Strothra 20:27, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

ANI

A post has been created by the ip above on Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents. Thought you should know. Woodym555 22:00, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for notifying me. Best, --Strothra 01:13, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Kabbani article

What's going on there? I noticed that you've been reverting the same disruptions i've been dealing with on there too. Is this something consistent with that user? I know it's been fairly consistent with that particular article. Is there something more to it? MezzoMezzo 13:11, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Yup, it's consistent with the user. I don't think he's going to stop removing cited material and inserting POV. He is the same as the ip 87.17.210.145 and was warned repeated while using that IP to edit. The articles were semi protected to stop his edits, but he registered and then moved the articles. I think it'd be best to request a checkuser just in case. That way when he is blocked for vandalism the IP will be blocked as well. --Strothra 13:18, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Hey

Hey Strothra, I just tried to send you an email but you don't seem to be allowing people to send you emails? It's just that eyes seem to be everywhere here: [1] [2] who was then rather bizarrely reverted without comment by a Texan anon! [3]. Anyway, just to let you know, Daniel has protected Michael Ignatieff. Cheers, Sarah 12:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, it seems pretty odd. I thought my e-mail was active. I'll activate it now. --Strothra 13:55, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Paris edit

I agree that none of the landmarks really needs mentioning if they are discussed later in the article. The only reason I didn't remove them all was the need to tread carefully because this has caused edit-warring in the past. Hopefully we can make some progress on the article now. :) Green Giant 13:24, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I wasn't familiar with any previous edit-warring. I think that WP:LEAD, however, is pretty clear that things in the lead should be referenced in general terms and expanded upon later. --Strothra 13:34, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

RFPP Ahwaz territory

I saw that you withdrew the RFPP, but I'd still like to make a comment. Nothing has happened since you posted on his talk page. Is this an old conflict? If not, it is way too soon to use protection. Assume good faith and don't bite the newcomers. Best wishes/ Pax:Vobiscum 15:20, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it's early as well - I think it's best to have the article redirected to one discussing the Iranian minority population to which the editor is referring. Which is why I am restoring the article and putting it up for AfD as Merge. I also suggested that the user create an article about the ethnic minority rather than the territory. --Strothra 15:22, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

haay you what you want ? don't remove what I write...ok--Hisham ibn Oamr Alharbi 02:53, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Can't quite understand what you just wrote. Either way, please follow policy and do not remove AfD tags. --Strothra 04:41, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Frankieandmichael

Hi Strotha. Please recheck the contribution this user made and consider removing your vandalism warning. I left a note on his page asking for a source, but I do not see the addition as vandalism. Annoying crap that does not add to Wikipedia, but a good faith contribution nonetheless. Cheers, Jeffpw 13:27, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

Looking at his edit history this is most likely a vandalism only account (adding jokes is considered vandalism), see [4] and [5]. I just gave him a final warning for the addition. A Google search further indicates no credibility in the claim.--Strothra 13:31, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

hehehehhe. I always said WP:AGF was for simple minded fools. Thanks for staying sharp. Jeffpw 13:33, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

FYI

Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Ahwaz_territory. Sarah 14:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. Looks like he beat me to it. --Strothra 14:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Another WP:AN#Forum shopping by AFD group if you havent seen already Gnangarra 02:19, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks very much. --Strothra 02:38, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm sending you an email in a couple of mins. Sarah 10:11, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Waterpolo379

Thanks for reverting the enlightening comments of this user on my userpage. I didn't even see that it had happened until today. Dethme0w 20:07, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

haha, no problem --Strothra 21:37, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Wissam7007

Good evening. I've been digging into the article at Hisham Kabbani, and came up with two additional users to add to the Checkuser case regarding Wissam7007. I've added 74.56.78.70 and Simorgh7007 to the checkuser case, and provided diffs of their involvement at the Kabbani article. Simorgh also created a new version of the article, located at As-Sayyid Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani Al Haqqani Al Rabbani, which I ended up wiki-formatting. In attempting a redirect from Hisham Kabbani, I found the existing article - and here we are. Hope this helps, ZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 02:51, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I noticed your addition and replied there. This article has been created before and speedily deleted. --Strothra 02:54, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

With a name like that, I didn't even think to check. I even moved the bloody thing to correct the fact that it was created IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. Ah, well - Glad to help. ZZ ^Claims ~ Evidence 02:59, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Haha, yeah it's confusing when you add his entire lineage. Either way though, blocked users can't create articles....theoretically at least. You can see where Wissam tried the same thing the other week in creating "SHAYKH MUHAMMAD HISHAM KABBANI." That was the article that got speedied, but he was warned for creating it due to copyvio problems. --Strothra 03:01, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Robin Bush prod

I looked over Robin Bush, and you're probably right to prod it. I have suggested on the appropriate talk pages that we merge any relevant content into Bush on the Couch and redirectify the article. If you agree to it and there's no objections on the talk page after a couple of days I'll go ahead and do that. Daniel Case (talk) 22:10, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Sounds good to me, I support the merge & redirect. --Strothra (talk) 22:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

YNWA

It takes at least two users to 'edit war'. Kindly explain why you posted this 3RR warning to my talk page, and ignored user Barryob completely? This is all the more galling since I encouraged discussion first. smb (talk) 20:18, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

The other user has not blatantly violated 3RR through the use of a sock. --Strothra (talk) 20:19, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

I request politely that you withdraw your false accusation. smb (talk) 20:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

No, WP:AGF does not require editors to be stupid. A checkuser request has been submitted. --Strothra (talk) 20:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Fine by me. I await an apology. smb (talk) 20:34, 19 November 2007 (UTC)\

Elizabeth Kucinich

I saw the joke and knew it was not suppose to be there. I logged in so I could remove and revert it but by the time I could do so someone else had already reverted it and I did not notice. So mistakingly with out me even noticing I just reverted back to the one before it. Then by the time I did notice what I had done, put the joke back into the article, I was going to correct my mistake but some one did it for me. Sorry --DidYouLoseASock (talk) 05:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

I registered now

I'm User:71.115.192.199. Now I'd like to know what you have against unregistered users, if you don't mind me asking? Antiyonder (talk) 07:15, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't see this earlier. Users generally don't register for on of two reasons: 1) They are only making a few edits at one moment and are not planning to be long term editors or 2) To vandalize anonymously or make other contentious edits. I personally think one should claim their edits. IP's change over time and registering is conducive to long-term usage of Wikipedia. --Strothra (talk) 01:03, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Scott5114's RFA

Thank you for taking the time to participate in my recent RFA nomination. I have withdrawn the nom early at 17/13/3. I am presently going to undergo admin coaching in preparation for a second candidacy somewhere down the line. I hope to see your potential support in the future. Regards, —Scott5114↗ 07:47, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

moppish thank you

Dear Nonexistant User, Thank you for supporting in my recent RfA. Words nor pictures can express my heartfelt appreciation at the confidence the community has shown me. I am both heartened and humbled by this confidence. I will carry the lessons learned from the constructive criticism I have received with me as I edit Wikipedia, and heed those lessons. Special thanks to Pedro and Henrik as nominators. Special thanks to Rudget who wanted to. A very special thanks to Moonriddengirl for her eloquence. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 16:46, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sir

Thank you for your message, and I apologise if I offended you in anyway when I said "you lack knowledge with a certain people and civ". Didn´t know you were an older academic guy with a Doctor degree, I feel ashamed now :-( The thing is I dont think we should use the Pan-Aryan forum as a source in the "Aryan article" and this got me slightly annoyed not personally at you though, so again sorry if I offended you Sir. Cyrus111 (talk) 21:38, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I never disagreed with you really - I was simply reverting edits made by an IP that altered your statements. See diff: [6]. And ha, I have a JD, but I'm not "older." --Strothra (talk) 01:00, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

thats what I meant, JD, so how old are you then 35? Cyrus111 (talk) 03:45, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Dear Sir

Hi, sorry but I was not finished editing and got logged out and the IP adress of that computer was obviously shown Cyrus111 (talk) 03:39, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

substing user warnings

When using certain template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:uw-test1}} instead of {{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template.

Hi! I don't know whether you need to subst the 3rr warning, but I made that change. Keep up the good work. MKoltnow (talk) 04:21, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Ah, thanks! Sorry, I'll do that in the future - I'm not familiar with the technical aspects. --Strothra (talk) 04:23, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Admin

Hi. I just wondered if you'd consider letting me nominate you for adminship, as I think you're experienced enough. Thanks. Epbr123 (talk) 10:27, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Gee, I thought you were an admin already! Jeffpw (talk) 10:47, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the offer, but I'm a bit too busy in my personal life currently for the RfA process. Perhaps I could take you up on the offer later? --Strothra (talk) 13:19, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
