Whether Jaakobou is zionist is not important. Listing it on your userpage when he objects, however, is counterproductive and could be considered an attack when you use it to judge his Wikipedia edits. Please refrain from listing users by their political convictions. If people want to do that, they can do so on their own userpage. - Mgm| (talk) 09:56, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
I noticed you linked to WP:VAIN when replying to a question on Wikipedia:New contributors' help page. If you follow the link to WP:VAIN, it suggests that you use WP:COI instead. Just thought I'd let you know. — Purple RAIN 15:36, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Just wanted to bring a another IP to your attention related to the issue I brought up at Wikipedia:Help_desk/Archives/2007_January_26#Questionable_edits_to_names. I came across a few similar edits from 85.210.251.210.-- GregRM 17:55, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
I've just had an e-mail from Benio76 ( talk · contribs · logs · block user · block log), whom you blocked indefinitely as a sock-puppet. He's given me pretty conclusive evidence of his identity (linking the e-mail account from which he contacted me, his Web page, his University in Italy, etc.). He explains that he shares an ADSL line with his housemate, of whom he's accused of being a sock-puppet ( Olivierd ( talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)).
I must say, looking at the evidence he provides, and at the evidence of editing, the sock-puppet charge looks open to debate, at the very least. Is there any chance of reassessing this?
I've left this at WP:AN/I, but I thought that I'd leave it here too, as you were the blocking admin. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 19:59, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Ah, thanks. The mediation case simply petered out with no result. -- Mel Etitis ( Μελ Ετητης) 11:54, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
FYI: I have a new set of templates that looks up a nation's name or flag image (all are SVGs) from a top level domain code. To simplify things, each nation gets only one code even if they actually have several top level domains. For instance, the United Kingom has top level domains of ".gb" and ".uk". My templates only recognize "uk" (no period). Also, for the US, pass "USA". They are case sensitive.
They are intended to support my new Where I have been templates. However, I will also support user boxes if people are interested. Currently, I only can support nations. However, I expect to add more templates to do provinces/states of those nations. However, while one main template can look up information for any nation, all it will do is call templates for that nation. So GetProvinceName will call templates like GetProvinceNameUK. I expect to create the nation templates for Canada and the USA only. However, I will provide an override parameter allowing you to use versions from your own namespace or somewhere else.

Why did you yet again delete my entry on my Grandfather: Joseph Thomas Ward?.
I knew that my Article stated: "The original version of this biography was published in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Volume Three (1901-1920), 1996 © Crown Copyright 1996-2007, BUT if you had of read the original article off the N.Z.Biography site, you would have noticed that my article and the one on the N.Z.Biography site are two completely different article's - mine was from a grandaughters prospective.
Joseph Thomas Ward was a notable New Zealand Astronomer, who made vast contributions in the world of Astronomy - he deserves recognition, and to keep on deleteing his article is a huge insult to my family and the general New Zealand population!
It's obvious you dont bother to read ANY articles properly and will keep deleting at you own leisure.
So what is your excuse for this carry-on? appart from:Article states: "The original version of this biography was published in the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography Volume Three (1901-1920), 1996 © Crown Copyright 1996-2007." because if thats all you can manage - thats truly pathetic
why did you delete the aaron sweeney wikipedia page? you called it an "attack page"? why? You obviously know very little about Ireland, so in future don't delete articles that aren't related to you you ass. Do I go and delete articles about Dutch musicians? No, so don't do it to Irish ones. Now go and put it back up —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 83.70.69.45 ( talk) 16:34, 6 February 2007 (UTC).
Why did you delete the images from Victorian Women's Football League ?????
You said they were unfree, but perhaps in future, you'd care to check the copyright info on images before you just go deleting ones you think are not free. They are both public domain. See for yourself ... [[Image:Women's marking contest.jpg]] [[Image:Women's tackle.jpg]]
It is very frustrating for those who take the time to make a genuine effort to contribute media to wikipedia. I know, because I took those images myself and I uploaded them as GPL ! -- Spewmaster 01:52, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for responding to my question on 9 February about programming digital channels into my VCR.The VCR is Phillips model 620. I cannot understand the manual instructions for programing digital channels into the VCR and how to video record digital channels.

Thanks for the heads up. I left another message on the thread, although it seems that it won't get me anywhere. Oh well...anyway, you may want to add User:Wetman to your list of friendly faces, they have a really helpful, insightful page about policies and zeitgeists on wikipedia.

I hereby assert I have voted in the commons picture of the year 2006. - Mgm| (talk) 11:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
First of all, thanks for your reply and taking the time to look at this. Ok, compare [4] and [5]. In the first, the content of the right column is shorter than the left column so the color in the left column goes all the way down to the footer. However, in the second link, the text in the right column is longer than that of the left, and the color stops after the padding on the text. I was wondering if there was a way to code it so the background color of the column goes all the way to the footer. If not, I'll just have to put an image in the parent container div (which may be a better option because I can use a gradient or a fancy border or really anything I want).- Andrew c 02:41, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
In your own personal opinion do you want that article deleted or not? And why did you list it on AfD if you did not want it deleted? Mathmo Talk 13:37, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
My bad on this one. This is the second or third mistake of this type I've made on football/soccer players in the last couple of months. I obviously have no judgment when it comes to notability in this sport and should just keep my ill-informed opinions to myself in such cases. (comment intended to be humourously self-deprecating, not sarcastic.) Thanks for your heads-up on this matter. -- Pigman Talk to me 18:03, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
I have a question regarding the deletion of the Doctor Steel page, it was listed in the articles of deletion review by myself, however the final decision was not stated, and it was deleted from the review. I wish to know who did not follow protocol and why. (major fair use violation, see afd debate) is what the original reason it was deleted. That is I assume because of the images that were posted, however phineas waldorf steel was deleted as well, it did not contain the pictures that were said to be a fair use violation. I am requesting some help in this matter before I speak with other admins, as well as release this story to / . [email protected]

Hello, I saw your response at ANI.... Is your mop available to take care of that? -- After Midnight 0001 12:12, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
A mistake on my part, I see what you mean, though. BuickCenturyDriver ( Honk, odometer) 12:16, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments about my recent Afd's - I know I appear to be nominating a lot of artices, but in reference to the discussion I had with Jeendan and Qxz} that my current project is assessing all of the unassessed articles in the WPBiography project (130,000+ unassessed articles at the moment - I got a lot of work ahead of me).
Most articles I upgrade to the stub status, but I peruse over their main article. When I come across articles lacking in notability, information, etc., such as I have nominated for AfD, it is not that I want them deleted, rather, I will let the rest of the community, like yourself, make the judgement. As much as I would love to sit down and upgrade every questionably notable article I come across, it would impede me from my current task which is assessing all of the unlooked at articles tagged with the {{WPBiography}} box.
Apologies if I am coming across as a lunatic, and I take absolutely no offense if you disagree with my nomination! Hopefully nominating these articles will bring them to light to at least get some TLC and fleshed out. Thanks again! -- Ozgod 13:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
You did notice that none of the editors who gave an opinion had read the article as it actually stood when you closed the discussion early and redirected, didn't you? Have a look at the edit histories and compare what the article looked like when they wrote their opinions to what it looked like when you redirected. Uncle G 16:44, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

BOV1993 ( talk · contribs) appears to be requesting a block reduction on his talkpage and making a thinly veiled threat to block evade with a sockpuppet. It appears he's been indef'd already under at least 2 other accounts. IMO, he is pretty close to a vandal only account... but I'll leave it up to you as the blocking admin.-- Isotope23 20:35, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Here's a template to use in an AfD, when it has been listed on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Visual arts (please do list appropriate AfDs there). I think it should go under the article details and above the nom statement, as it is a formal notice and not part of the debate. It will sign your name with date stamp automatically. Please pass on to others.

Hi MGM - thanks for your comments on this featured list candidate (FLC page). I've now made all the suggested changes that have come in, including yours re the statistics on causes of premature obituaries (which have been cut), clearer description of the criteria for counting as a source of an obituary, and moving entries that lack a reference to the talk page. If you're happy with it now, I'd be grateful if you could provide a 'support' vote. Thanks! Ben Finn 13:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I edited the parts of the article that I felt were not written in proper English. Most of the edits regarded commas. More clarification is still needed in the article. For example, "[Ben Woldring] first rose to fame in the fall of 1998 when he made a website where consumers could compare prices for mobile phone services for a school assignment." I find it implausible that a website dedicated to helping schoolchildren with their assignments about mobile phone services made Ben Woldring a millionaire. -- Strangerer 20:35, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
