Even in the article you have provided, it still seems this statistic was provided by Gordon himself. I am yet to see it corroborated by anyone else. The use of the word 'alleged' is appropriate in the circumstance, especially as the video evidence suggests otherwise. --Splitpeasoup 02:26, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

It's POV-pushing when you don't believe in the 85% figure provided by two independent sources. --Madchester 04:43, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Spam

I noticed your edit and was going to respond but decided against it. However since you have raised the issue:

I don't need you to tell me "what Wikipedia is not". I would never, ever add spam to an article. This was a talk page edit, and while you might argue the same applies I would say not to the same degree. The link I added was largely factual, stating the progress of the campaign "for anyone interested, and who doesn't know". I personally believe this was an exceptional circumstance and that you could find better things to do with your time on the project. Regards, Mark83 20:41, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

You can add as many external links as you please on your user page. Doing so on an article or its talk page is designated as spam. I would advise you to keep your cool and owning up to your mistake(s) next time. Cheers. --Madchester 20:45, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I'll read WP:COOL, maybe you could have a glance at Wikipedia:Assume good faith? But yes, sorry, the above is unnecessarily confrontational. Regards, Mark83 21:12, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ian Brown

I don't suppose I could prevail upon you to whip up a quick stub of Ian Brown's single "My Star"? As it currently stands, the song of the same name by Brainstorm is still what comes up when one clicks on the link on Brown's article. BigHaz - Schreit mich an (Review me) 22:08, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Sorry. I am doing the needful. --Bhadani 01:41, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello friend. I regret that I blocked you inadvertantly. I am sorry. Would you plese forgive me for my mistake. --Bhadani 01:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Actually I wanted to block User talk:208.187.86.38 whom you had reverted for removing the notice from the user page. However, I blocked you instead, which I have lifted. I regret the incidence, and trust that I continue to have your trust. --Bhadani 01:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:DSC00422.JPG listed for deletion

An image or media file that you uploaded or altered, Image:DSC00422.JPG, has been listed at Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion. Please look there to see why this is (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

[edit] What a Mad Chester.

You sure are one Mad Chester. 18:21, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blocking ISP 195.93.21.33.

Would you please unblock this ISP address - it's one used by AOL, so you have managed to block many more than the intended recipient! Skinsmoke 21:13, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Departed

I responded to the comments you left on my talk page about The Departed.Larry Dunn 02:39, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

Would you please reply to my response on my talk page? You have called my edit "vandalism" and described it in your revert as "bad faith."Larry Dunn 22:12, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

Consider if you don't want to use my pictures, i admit is terrible shot, just delete it if not use in other place. --Aleenf1 05:50, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Departed

There is no need for 4 cleanup boxes on that page, and the "plot" box was in the wrong location anyways. The "Box office" cleanup box was not needed at all, the "cleanup" at the top of the page was unneeded because no rational was given on the talk page and specific cleanup boxes are placed throughout the article so no need to place one at the top. I also just moved "plot" to the proper location. Since I feel that my edits were needed, I have reverted the page back to my edit. --BJ 03:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

he page has been listed on WP:Cleanup. Please review that summary before making any further reverts and potentially violating WP:3RR. Thanks --Madchester 03:31, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok, you wanted the "Cleanup" tag to stay, not sure why you revert my whole edit twice instead just re-adding the tag; so I have again reverted back to my edit and added your "Cleanup" tag back. Also please spare me the 3RR warnings, I can count and as of your warnings I had only reverted the page once, in no way "in danger of violating" the 3RR rule. --BJ 03:48, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Please assume good faith. Thanks. --Madchester 03:53, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

[edit] User:201.7.53.245

I'm not an administrator, but I'm a little concerned about this block here. People type all sorts of bigoted crap all over pages consistently, and he certainly deserved a short block, but an indef block for an IP? That's quite contrary to normal policy; we have schools with literally thousands of vandalous edits, and they're not indef blocked. Indef blocking an IP, after only 5 edits, one of which happened to be typing the word "fag" ("Johnny is gay" and "PENIS" vandalism probably take up 50% of all vandals) seems pretty outlandish and contrary to policy. -Patstuart^{(talk)(contribs)} 02:19, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Homophobic epithets and vandalism of user pages with total disregard of warnings, warrant the IP being used as nothing more than a vandalism account. There are actually a number of vandalism accounts that are flagged down immediately and blocked indefinitely. If the user had any intent of actively editing Wikipedia, then he could have simply asked me or another admin to unblock the IP via email or their talk page..... But with no response whatsoever since the block, it's obvious that the IP had no intent of make actual contributions to the site. --Madchester 18:10, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Closing TfD discussion - note added to template talk page?

Hi there. As mentioned at this WP:AN thread, I was wondering if you could confirm whether or not you ever put a note at Template talk:Wr concerning the TfD discussion you closed here? Such notes are extremely helpful for anyone later considering nominating the templates for deletion, or speedy deleting them. Apologies if you did add such a notice. Carcharoth 16:04, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe I already added the note... but I remember some of the coding on template being kinda "meh", so it may not have ended up in the right place... --Madchester 18:06, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Micah Sanders

Commenting on character talk page. – Someguy0830 (T | C) 01:11, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, thanks for the note, but I still agree with everyone else in that thread. Micah has proved able to fix machines with his mind, what makes him a technopath (maybe with other powers, but this one is for sure).I know what the rules say, but you are focusing too much on that and missing the big picture. Besides, being a dynamic enciclopedia, nothing prevents a mistake from being fixed as soon as we are proved wrong. I say we put back the technopath mention in his article. And not wanting to strugle, but just as a note, so far you´re the only vote against. DinobotTM2 02:10, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Just to know, there is more editing in the technopathy thread than just Micah. If you want to erase him, it´s up to you, but keep the other ones, unless you think they´re wrong to.DinobotTM2 03:05, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I saw... And I´m nominating you for it...DinobotTM2 03:11, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Please read up on Wikipedia policy before making false nominations, based on incivil behaviour and comments. See edit "Daring" or threatening other editors is not the way to go here. --Madchester 03:38, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I saw, I still think you are wrong, I still think the nomination is valid and If you keep up harrassing me, I´ll put you up to the abuse of adm power. Stop being so stubborn and accept you are wrong. Let´s keep the 3RR thread up and wait for someone else to say something. Untill a higher authority says something, stop messing up with that page, ok? DinobotTM2 03:52, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

You keep making edits that violate WP:NOR, namely making personal interpretations of a primary source. Talk page warnings do not constitute harassment. --Madchester 03:55, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

I´ll wait for someone else to tell me that. Since you are the other side here, you are not neutral enought. Either call someone higher than you, or stop harassing me. DinobotTM2 03:58, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

"You keep making edits that violate WP:NOR, namely personal interpretations of a primary source. Talk page warnings templates do not constitute harassment, when they are used to tell editors about their problematic edits. --Madchester 04:00, 10 November 2006 (UTC)"

No, they don´t. It is not what you have being doing. We gave many reasons why that is not a NOR, and you chose to ignore it only on the grounds of what YOU think it is. Call other adm to judge that thread or find an argument different from "I think it´s wrong". Until that, stop harassing everyone posting there and abusing your adm condition. DinobotTM2 04:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Again, according to WP:NOR,

Any interpretation of primary source material requires a secondary source.

If you want to make the claim that technopathy was involved, then it needs to be supported by a secondary source, other that the actual television show. Unless, Micah or another character explictly states that the power is technopathy or technology-based on the actual program, such a claim cannot be made in according with the original research policy. If this was a fansite or messageboard, such speculation is fine, but it is not allowed on Wikipedia. --Madchester 04:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

It´s not a case of bad faith, just of stubborness. Everyone else made a clear statetement of why he should be included there, and you refuse to accept that. And so far, you are the only one against. I still say that would be nice to call the opinion of another adm, and solve it once for all. DinobotTM2 12:17, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] ==Jake Daubert==

Just a suggestion...

Edit summary comments like "you are now being reported for the violation of the 3rv rule. I'm not taunting you, i'm getting sick of dealing with you." can be considered incivil or a light personal attack. I'd advise making comments towards the changes/edits and not the individual. --Madchester 04:04, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

• Thank you for your comment. I see your point. I think I am most frustrated by the fact that this user is an Admin and was attempting to respond to the fact that he told me i was "damaging the article". Again, you are 100% correct. Thanks for the advice. //Tecmobowl 04:07, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedster (comics)

Hi. Sorry to bother you, but it looks we might have an edit war at speedster (comics) between myself and Ace Class Shadow. If you could chime in with your opinion on that article’s talk page, so that we can achieve some sort of consensus, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Nightscream 10:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:South.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:South.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject or by taking a picture of it yourself.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --Chowbok ☠ 19:17, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Concerning Gordom Ramsay

Dear Madchester,

I am very sure you had good reason to delete what I added about Ramsay's rapprochment with Joan Collins, but could you explain it to me? It's not that the event I described didn't happen; I was watching the episode of The F-Word when I saw her go into his restaurant, he mentioned throwing her out, I remembered reading of it on this page in the past, and I thought it would be appropriate to add a coda to this page's account of the incident. Unfortunately, my Comcast guide didn't have an episode title, or I would have provided it so as to better cite my source. In any event, could you make clear what your reasoning was to me, a neophyte?
