This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

I'm curious about your deletion and protection of this userspace page. The content was not an attack but a compilation of evidence to be presented in a future RfC/RfAr. I'm also curious about how you became aware of this. I see no notices on your talk page and there is no listing at

Clearly you are at a misunderstanding as to what an attack page is then. You don't need to use space onwiki, even if in userspace, to do such a thing. We all know what would have happened had MfD been brought into this situation. I regret you are annoyed, and more so by the fact you are somehow feeling I am trying to take sides here when deleting a page that meets Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. The village pump is the place to change that issue, not my talk page. —Pilotguy (ptt) 17:53, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Okay, please illustrate how it was an attack page. Here's your opportunity to do so since your arbitrary deletion and protection has rendered any debate on the issue impossible and you did not warn first before deleting. G10 refers to content that directly attacks a subject, such as a personal attack. This was a page of mostly diffs. Userspace makes it very easy for involved parties to collaborate on drafting an RfC. —

I've requested undeletion of the page, and I consider your actions, especially your complete lack of any notice to me, to be an abuse of admin powers. The page was my own private collection of diffs to show how Sir Nicholas had been abusing his admin powers and acting in bad faith, for a possible RfC. I had specifically not notified anyone about it - anyone who found it did so by looking at my contribs page. Argyriou (talk) 02:45, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

I just received a Deletion message to my article from you >ilotguy , I don't know why you want to delete my article, It's not nonsense so please would you do me a favor and don't delete, or block my article. I have seen related articles and they don't have a Deletion Notice, so please leave my articles Star wars figures and Go to gallery on Wikipedia. Thank You. To answer my message go to User:Jaguar43.

I dont get it and I dont know what are you talking about. In your discussion, you said me to me that 'i have done it" and still you have still not unblocked me.

You have said that, i have fooled you. Could you please explain in what way i have fooled you. Further more you have deleted the words "I have done it" from this discussion. The said discussion is here [5]

Hi! You posted the following in my talk page:

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Next / by Michael Crichton. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. —Pilotguy (ptt) 02:14, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Just for you to know, I didn't created that page. Someone else did; I just moved it to Next (book), because I hadn't noticed the Next (novel) page.

Thanks anyway. --Akhel 14:09, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

What is the meaning of these edits of yours? [6], [7], [8] and numerous others involving the same image. Your stated reason is inapplicable. The image is not corrupt or empty. Hu 00:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

You might want to ask KFP that, as he was the one who tagged it as such. —Pilotguy (ptt) 00:25, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

The image Image:Benjamin West 005.jpg is not tagged. I don't understand you. I also checked his/her last 500 edits (since Nov. 29) and KFP has not touched that image in that time. Hu 00:34, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm going to restore this page if you don't mind. It wasn't exactly empty and several editors (including myself) were in the middle of editing it. thanks.

Hello, I'm wondering why you removed this image from several articles. It seems to be a perfectly valid picture hosted on Commons. - SimonP 00:55, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see what happened. KFP tagged the enwiki page because the image was already on Commons, and thus there was no need for us to have a description page. The image itself is perfectly fine, and there is no need to remove it. - SimonP 01:09, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Greetings, Pilotguy - I don't understand why my uploaded image T3E.jpg was deleted. Your edit cites CSD: I3, which says images can be deleted if licensed as "used with permission" but lacking fair use explanation. But I asserted fair use when I uploaded; the owner of the image gave permission for it's use on Wikipedia.

Why was it deleted, and what should I say differently next time to prevent this from happening again?

It is best to archive user talk pages, not delete them. Kukini 19:22, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

you deleted the article "Rutgers Hillel" without warning, citing it as blatant advertising. I would have greatly appreciated the opportunity to edit the article, as I have checked the guidelines for notability and believe the subject qualifies. The article could be rewritten to minimize whatever 'advertising' there might have been, citing additional independently published information, etc.... what can I do now?

User:Agetraer

You left a note on my talk page about looking into different formats for different types of articles (band, biography, companies, etc), but none of the articles I have written or edited fall into these catagories. Is there one for organizations? If so, that would be relevant to the Midnight Riders article.

Hello Pilotguy,

I've already secured these images as GFDL by speaking with the creator directly, and forwarding that release to the Wikimedia Foundation. Although Robert Thompson has not finished tagging all of the images with the OTRS archive comment, you can view the Castle Frank image here to see that it's underway. With your permission, I'd like to revert your edits to

Consensus seems to be attained since it is two users (Godefroy and me) against one, who does not even defend "his cause" anymore. Cheers, RCS 20:06, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

I worked very hard on this article and it was deleted. I created the article about a cookware invention using multiple sources. I would like to re-write the article to make it not read so much like an advertisement, which was the reason why is was deleted. I am not sure why you did not just put a proposed delete tag or a “this reads like an advertisement” tag. I wrote this article using multiple sources and the information was facts, no opinions. I could have easily changed the wording of it to read less like an advertisement. In the future, please do not be so speedy about things.

Response to your Comment

In response to your comment "Would you like me to copy and paste the article into your userspace", yes I would very much like that. Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. I will clean up the article and remove anything that seems like advertising.

Hi there i noticed u blocked Singapore's Starhub shared IP.Could u find other alternatives to prevent vandalism rather than blocking thousand of people who are sharing the same IP address?

A thought that came to my mind is that lets say Wikipedia is a country and that ur ban on Singapore shared IP is like banning Singapore Airlines from flying to Wikipedia w/o it's passengers' having a VISA(register) each.The only way of flying there is to apply for a VISA(register on wikipedia).

PLease reconsider the ban.

Hello. This is not "chewing you out", but... The subject image was deleted at 07:13 2 January 2007, the exact same time that the advice of the possibility of this occuring appeared on my talk page. I thought that I might have had a little more time to sort out the attribution tag. Please note, there is no warning that the tag I selected will cause such an image to be deleted. I selected the tag from the available list based on what I understood were her wishes. I freely admit that I assumed that she would want non-commercial use only. As it happens, I gave reasoning on the image page: the copyright owner had given me permission to put it up. This was also discussed on the talk page of the article. I am now awaiting advice from her on the appropriate license, suggesting "fair use (promotional photo)" and/or "cc-by-sa-2.5|Lin Hatfield Dodds" and/or "CopyrightedFreeUseProvidedThat|credit to and copyright of Lin Hatfield Dodds". I'll keep you updated. Cheers, Peter Ellis 03:29, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I would like to know why you deleted the page for the Lafayette Chorduroys. Just because it's something you don't know about or are not interested about does NOT give you the right to delete it. MANY other college a cappella groups have wikipedia pages. I DEMAND an explanation.

Dear Sir, I have not understood what u ahve written over my page. But whatever i add here is either deleted or reverted! Vishu123 04:52, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I have removed all forms of advertising. I have updated the article and I believe it is ready to be posted back up on wikipedia. However, I would prefer if you could look at it first, so I do not publish anything that may possibly be deleted and let me know if I should make any further changes or not. Thanks very much.

I fully understand why this was deleted and I did not take note of the "notability" section before I posted this page. I apologise for any inconvenience.

I have since read in great detail what is acceptable and what is not and I hope I can contribute in a more productive manner next time.

This article was marked as patent nonsense and quickly deleted; I admit that my writing was not of terribly high quality, but it was a good-faith effort to describe a fairly popular fantasy gaming site. It's not self-promotion, as I have no affiliation whatsoever with the creators of Fantasy Congress, and it will have new information soon, as I noted in the article itself. I marked it as a stub, and had/have every intention of adding to it in the near future. How is this nonsense? This isn't meant as a nasty question, I'm really puzzled.

-Ponder Stibbons, 4:51 UTC 3-Jan-2007

I have made the final version of RFIQin. I want to make sure this version of the article does not seem like it reads like an advertisement. I do not believe it does, but if you have time, I would just like to make sure, so I do not run into any future problems. Thanks for your help with everything.
