Michelle Crisp
Why have you made it impossible for me to edit? I am an inmate at Royal Brisbane Hospital mental ward, yes. But I am a believer that everyone should be able to edit on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.104.163.153 (talk) 17:12, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
- If you are User:Michellecrisp then log in from that account and request that the page protection be lifted. If you are not, please stop vandalising that user's talk page. Euryalus (talk) 00:04, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
- As you know, I am a believer of people sticking to Wikipedia guidelines and the philosophy that anyone from any location can contribute. But as you also know, I am also a believer of storing up comments like yours for a later date as evidence. This will not be the end, I assure you. Consider yourself warned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.106.26.173 (talk) 14:12, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
Investigator
While offline I finally read, instead of skimming, that article on the fitting out of Endeavour and Investigator; and found what "as I have already mentioned" refers to:
"HM Sloop Investigator was build as a merchantman, bought by the admiralty in 1798, and converted into an armed sloop for convoy duty, before being adapted in 1800 for Matthew Flinders' survey of Australia. After being condemned as a hulk in Port Jackson it was cut down a year or two later and used by the colonial service as a dispatch vessel; Investigator then returned to England and served in the Navy for another five years before being condemned a second time in 1810. The hulk was sold once more, rebuilt, and returned to the merchant service; Investigator was not finally broken up until 1872—ironically, back in Australia, the scene of her greatest triumph.

Videosong
Hi Euryalus,
I think "VideoSong" as a term is considerably more notable than it was when you deleted in 2008... for instance:
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=125783271
Would you consider undeleting this entry, which I just searched for and could not find on Wikipedia?

Unprotect
On 4 December 2008 you protected Jessica Simpson. Perhaps it is time to reconsider this indefinite protection? Debresser (talk) 11:51, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

hey you deleted something I was working on....
You wrote it up as vandalism. But this is a new thing. Its a new adult toy working on. I'm trying to get it hyped up in the media so everyone buys one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Crazynips123 (talk • contribs) 22:29, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

A quick question on old delete
Hi Euryalus,
You deleted the article here "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Grenning" for the reason of "Signing this "manifesto", which is seems anyone can do."
Actually, not anyone can sign the manifesto.
The signing was an event that occurred only one time see (http://agilemanifesto.org/ and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agile_Manifesto) and is the basis of all Agile approaches you see today in Software Engineering (Scrum, Extreme Programming, Agile Estimation).
Based on your initial premise that anyone could sign the manifesto, I agree with your action of deleting the entry.
However, considering what I have mentioned here, I hope you would reconsider and undelete the article (note almost everyone that was there has an entry in wikipedia).
Regards,
Eric —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hosick (talk • contribs) 07:01, 6 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. The article text consisted entirely of "James Grenning was one of seventeen to sign the Agile Manifesto." It was deleted after a week with a notability criteria. The Manifesto itself might be notable, but notability is not inherited simply by association with notable things. Having reviewed the text (such as it is) I don't particularly support undeleting it in its current form.
- That said, there's a few quite detailed stories on Grenning in online publications, which might be sufficient for an article on him, provided they are viable secondary sources. It's not my area of expertise, but if you know something about the field (or even if you just want to jump in and see how you go), please feel free to create a new version of the article having regard for the requirements for verifiability.
- I've copied the old article to User:Hosick/James Grenning in case anything there is of use. Hope this helps, and good luck with it if you decide to create a new one.. Euryalus (talk) 07:43, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

deleated article
Hi, I wanted to write the profile of our organisation (Deesha Communications) which is already listed in dmoz and other good directories. You have just deleted the brief which I was writing on Deesha Communications.
Is it not allowed to write about an organisation so that people can come to know and use it.
Please guide me how such brief of the organisation can be uploaded.
Regards,
T.Roy —Preceding unsigned comment added by Troy077 (talk • contribs) 12:19, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Hi, and thanks for the note. There's no reason why you can't create an article on a company, but it needs to meet the notability requirements at reliable sources.
- I have moved a copy of the deleted article to User:Troy077/Deesha so you can keep working on it. When it has an assertion of notability and sources to back it up, just use the "Move" tab at the top of your page to send the article back to its original heading.
- Hope this is helpful. Let me know if I haven't explained the problem, or if I can help in any other way. Euryalus (talk) 12:31, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

MfD nomination of User:Burgeian/UH Racing
- The article was redirected per this because it lacked referencing and notability. The creator of it asked that it be userfied so s/he could work on referencing and notability before reposting to the main encyclopedia. As the deleting admin I agreed to the userfication here, so referencing and notability could potentially be addressed.
- I am not therefore a contributor to the article, substantial or otherwise. Instead, could I suggest that rather than notifying me you notify User:Burgeian, as the article is in his namespace and in fairness he deserves a chance to offer his views. Euryalus (talk) 12:34, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
Project Runway (season 8)
It's not a content dispute when a vandal is adding hoax information to an article, it's vandalism. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 02:12, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Full protection isn't necessary. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 02:13, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Semi-protection would have blocked one side of the debate and not the other. I've left a message on the article talk page requesting anyone with an interest make a comment there so a consensus can be reached. The protection is also only for 24 hours, so if the information is wrong, it won't last long. plus, I notice you were the last editor before the protection so presumably the current version is one you prefer. Euryalus (talk) 02:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Reversion of vandalism is not edit warring. Did you even read what the IP was adding? Everard Proudfoot (talk) 02:19, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes. But again, the protection is not an endorsement of your version or theirs. It is to stop the article being constantly changed back and forth, without either party discussing it on the talk page. Euryalus (talk) 02:23, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Claiming that I was edit warring is an endorsement of your claim that I was not editing properly. I repeat: vandal fighting is not edit warring. Yes, you protected at the most recent version, which is mine, but you besmirch my name by claiming I was edit warring. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 02:26, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Yes. But again, the protection is not an endorsement of your version or theirs. It is to stop the article being constantly changed back and forth, without either party discussing it on the talk page. Euryalus (talk) 02:23, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm surprised at the total protection of
- Answered above - I'm not taking sides one way or the other. Semi-protection would only have prevented edits by one side of the edit war. The protection is a) short and b) by chance, in the version preferred by the registered editor rather than the IP. Euryalus (talk) 02:18, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Plus, if there's a firm consensus one way or the other befire the 24 hours expires, let me know and I will lift the protection entirely. Euryalus (talk) 02:19, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- I just backed it down to semi, because it's really blatantly obvious that the IP's edits were not constructive. --SarekOfVulcan (talk) 02:56, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

Project Runway (season 8) edit war
I'm as confused as you are. the ip edits were obviously vandalism. I'm not sure how it got to this. I was on Huggle at the time, and didn't really care about it. I just treated it as good (bad?) old vandalism. not sure what to do now. :/--Talktome(Intelati) 03:13, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- Dunno. Clearly the protection was a mistake, though in good faith. Hopefully others will see it that way, though signs aren't promising. Anyway, mistake reverted and the matter seems (or should be) closed. Sorry to have troubled you, and back to regular editing :) Euryalus (talk) 04:09, 2 October 2010 (UTC)

For info. -- Euryalus (talk) 06:05, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
- I just left a note. —David Levy14:17, 2 October 2010 (UTC)
Please don't give up on Wikipedia. I know you thought you were doing what was right, though I severly disagreed with you. Everard Proudfoot (talk) 05:13, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for the note. Not forever, just a while. I've previously approached this kind of thing with greater caution, but recently my editing time has been more restricted, and I think this is a consequence of not spending enough time thinking before acting. So - no hard feelings, no storming off in a huff, just some time spent reading rather than writing and a return to taking things more slowly and accurately. Glad to see you're back too, by the way.

"Moral Unblock"
Hi,
This is User_talk:86.178.141.82 here. I'm only on your talk page reluctantly, because I have no way of answering you otherwise. I guess I need to ask first if you're willing to hear me out before I answer you. If you are I'll be checking this periodically and will do so, as I already have the 3 edits ready :) 86.174.109.119 (talk) 21:10, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- P.S. It is of course possible you're not logged on. If you neither reply nor make an edit after 2 hours I will make the 3 edits then ask some administrators what they think. 86.174.109.119 (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
- P.P.S. Heh, last post scriptum... I'm obviously not blocked at all at the moment. But I want to play by the rules, as aspergic as they may be, if possible. Hence my edits confined to here for the moment. 86.174.109.119 (talk) 21:13, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for adding references to the Loreto Kirribilli notable alumnae section. :) I had thought that deleting all unreferenced [[1]] was a bit hasty, so I'm glad that someone had the time to go through and fix up some references. Cheers. -danjel (talk to me) 02:32, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
- No probelms. I did remove two - Patt Short because I couldn't find any evidnece of notability, even by the lower standards of WP:NLIST, and the Irish comedian Katherine Lynch who doesn't appear to have attended Loreto at all. But I agree with your action in reverting the deletion and adding citation tags - the list is not an especially BLP-sensitive issue, and deleting them kind of reduced the level of info in the article. Euryalus (talk) 05:57, 30 December 2010 (UTC)
The big merge
Hey Euryalus. Just wanted to touch base with you, I'm imagining what the task force page might look like and thought it would be good to chat about it before my imaginings got too involved. Do you have any feelings on using the "look and feel" of the maritime trades page as a starting point? We could certainly add/remove/spruce up as we see fit...
Two other items are knocking around in the back of my head: 1) notifying folks that have signed up for either project, and 2) starting a new version of the transport header that would support 1 or more task forces (
- Hi! I have to say I like the Maritime Trades page better than the WP:PORTS one - I largely assembled the latter from some standard designs used elsewhere, and it is more functional than attractive. I'd be happy for the Maritime Trades layout to be continued as a template for a merged design. As for notifying members - I contacted every member of WP:Ports with talk page messages about the merger propoal and there have been no replies to date. Most of them are no longer regular editors in this area, so no big deal either way. I would certainly contact them again should the merge go ahead, to let them know the state of play, but I don't imagine there'll be any great flood of commentary or objection.
- Overall I agree with Brad that the Transport project suffers from too great a generality of topic, and this limits the number of editors who stop by. But its a step forward from here, and gives our two small but valiant Wikiprojects a platform for subsequent devolution into WP:Ships or somewhere else, as circumstances arise.
- In passing, thanks for suggesting this merger idea. Its something I was thinking about for Ports over some years, but enver got around to proposing. And happy new year, wherever you are.Euryalus (talk) 11:48, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
