Block of User: 24.128.42.57Might I ask you to re-examine that block? It appears to be a bad AIV report. AIVWas the note I added after my AIV report sufficient? For some reason, Huggle considers a report on UAA to be the same as a final warning, which is why User:Fartmuffin had no warnings on their talk page. I am asking so that I know whether or not to add the same note if/when that happens again. Thanks for your help. J.delanoygabsadds 19:14, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Canadian Diamond Code of ConductDear GlassCobra, You deleted an article that I was trying to post today for copyright infraction. I am the Treasurer of the Canadian Diamond Code of Conduct Committee which manages the Voluntary Code of Conduct for Authenticating Canadian Diamond Claims (the Code). You will find my name on the Code web site at www.canadiandiamondcodeofconduct.ca. On that web site you will also find the text of the Code. The CDCC has copyright of the Code. The article I posted used the preamble of our Code to explain to your readers what the Code is about. The article was reviewed and approved by the CDCC. The other site which has similar text to the article took their text from our Code. We do not object to this practice as we wish the consumers to be informed about our Code. We actually encourage our members to publicize the Code and use our logo. What do I need to do to have the article reinstated? Sincerely yours, Pierre Leblanc Treasurer Canadian Diamond Code Committee Pierre Leblanc (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 21:42, 7 April 2008 (UTC) Thanks[1] NHRHS2010 | Talk to me 00:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Have you considered my remarks? Sincerely yours, Pierre LeblancPierre Leblanc (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 14:13, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
Your editing 2nd Battle of PanipatPlease note that your editing of 2nd battle of Panipat is not as per facts.May I request you to be familiar with the facts before editing this site.2nd war at Panipat was fought between the forces of Hemu which included Hindus as well as Afghans and Mughals, and not only between Hindus and Mughals as you have mentioned.In the background of the war I have described that Hemu had earlier won 22 battles spanning entire North India. This info is necessary to make a reader understand the situation in the right perspective.Similarly, if I start writing all the details, it may become lenghthier than the original site. Also I would like to post two pictures of Hemu Vikramaditya on the website 'Samrat Hem Chander Vikramaditya', one relates to his coronation at Purana Quila in Delhi on 7th Oct. 1556 and other relates to one of his statues at a Panipat Park in Haryana. I am not familier with the process of putting up the photographs and need your help. If you give me some e-mail Id, I can mail the two photographs to you. Thanking you in anticipation! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.128.118 (talk) 06:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC) Sudhirkbhargava —Preceding unsigned comment added by 117.198.128.45 (talk) 15:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Canadian Diamond Code of ConductDear GlassCobra, Thank you for your reply. The Canadian Diamond Code of Conduct is a not-for-profit corporation which was initiated by the Canadian Competition Bureau, an agency of the Canadian Government. Our aim is not to "promote" per se but to inform consumers of the Code. Since the Code office has the copyright of the original preamble and has approved the modified preamble for posting on Wikipedia I do not understand why we are deemed to be in violation of copyright. As indicated earlier, the text that was found by your robot is another version of the preamble of the Code for which we have copyright. We could always produce another article but it would be frustrating since we would be blocked from using our own material because somebody else copied part of it. What do you suggest. Regards, Pierre Leblanc (talk) 18:41, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Re: Tre WilliamsGood job digging them up. The article's off to a solid stub. I saw it on the recent changes and watchlisted it. And by the way, since you're on the OTRS team, would you be able to add a ticket number for the Killah Priest image (if you have time)? I just emailed the permission transcripts a few hours ago. If you can look into it, that'd be great. Spellcast (talk) 22:55, 9 April 2008 (UTC) Deletion of BolocoI will treat your inquiry as a matter of "contesting the PROD" and I will restore the article and take it to WP:AFD for consideration. In general, I don't think there should be a concrete deadline for contesting PROD's - after the target has been deleted is as good a time as any. The articles you linked to are reliable source material. However, their treatment of Boloco is as a secondary topic rather than a primary topic. Two of the three articles have as their primary topic food trends in Boston, while the third has both this and the Chipotle chain as "co-primary" topics. The articles would be fine for supporting facts about Boloco ... or even serving as input into a Cuisine of Boston article ... but I do not think that they satisfy the notability criterion for Boloco. I will post a follow-up here of the link to the AFD action when I get it up. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:25, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Articles-for-Deletion linkWikipedia:Articles for deletion/Boloco --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:36, 10 April 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for April 7th, 2008.

Look on Flyleaf talk at the IP I signed from my work which uses an open proxy service on some of their computers. I thought I was logged in and accidentally signed that IP. When I saw the vandalism edits it prompted me to look at the other IP's and ranges that we use here at work sometimes. These ranges (and their are dozens of different ranges that trace back to all over the world) are resposible for A LOT of vandalism here on Wikipedia. Can open proxies be blocked just because they are open proxies. That IP I used on Flyleaf is invlolved in a SSP report of user wilhelmina will, also several if not all of the IP's in that report belong to an open proxy. I know because they are the same range as some of the ones at my work. Landon1980 (talk) 14:27, 12 April 2008 (UTC) Ok, I'll make sure and not log in from one anymore. Is there anything I should do about this, can the ones I know of that are being used be blocked?

Landon 1980 and NickelbackHi GlassCobra. I know you've been in discussion with Landon before, and I'd like to ask you a favor. A few days ago, Landon changed the genre delimiter on Nickelback to line breaks from commas, citing nothing but WP:MOS. I tried to tell him that either delimiter can be used, but whatever was there originally should stay. The example on Template:Infobox Musical artist shows a band with line breaks as their delimiter. He cited this as saying that all bands' genres should be separated by line breaks in the infobox. I attempted to tell him that under the genre section of the template it says either way can be used, but he just reverted my edit without explanation and continues to do so. He still believes that the example clearly states that line breaks should be used, but another example on that same page uses commas as delimiter. I know it's a pretty stupid thing to edit war over, but I need a third opinion, and someone needs to explain to Landon why either one can be used. On Nickelback, since there's a controversy over this, the delimiter should stay as it was before it was changed. I tried explaining this to Landon on the Nickelback talk page, but he ignored it and just reverted my edits without explanation. I'm not really worried about whether commas or line breaks are used. Landon just needs to know that there is no guideline/policy that states that genres in band infoboxes need to be separated by line breaks and that he cannot cite MOS for something he found on Template:Infobox Musical artist. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide on this. Timmeh! 14:24, 13 April 2008 (UTC) I just think line breaks are more organized, and better for the reader, it is a much cleaner look. Timmeh says there is controversy over this. However, I asked this very question on the talk page and no one objected. You need to explain to him this is a minor issue. Him taking this to ANI would have been a hell of an April fools joke. When there are three genres to be listed, using commas make them appear to all run together, and looks messy and unprofessional. The majority of the people I have talked to are in favor of line breaks. Timmeh, I suggest you use your time for something productive on here. Especially seeing how you have the time to complain about this for days, and edit war over such a petty thing. The reason I haven't further discussed this on the talk page is no one objected, many have edited the article and left the line breaks, did not even mention them. I am beginning to think Timmeh has a personal vendetta against me. It isn't normal for someone to obsess over something like this. He says I am edit warring, and continues to threaten me with blocks. More than one admin has told him I am not, and that I haven't even neared violating 3RR. He is doing this because he thinks hoponpop and I am the same person, he has suggested this multiple times. I think having suggest bot or whatever it is called give him some things to do would be a good idea. I'm quite frankly getting sick of his obsession with me. Landon1980 (talk) 15:20, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Timmeh, are you absent minded? You have suggested hoponpop and I are the same person a few times. Glasscobra, where is the policy that says before you can make any change to an article you need to acquire a consensus? I did bring it up, and Timmeh is the only one that objected. And GC if you thing this is shameful, do not involve yourself in the edit war. Landon1980 (talk) 19:40, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Well Timmeh it doesn't really matter why I added the sources now does it. You are right there is no policy that says I cannot do that. However there is policy that recommends you to use sources when you can. If you could just add any ole genre without sourcing it wikipedi asure would be a mess wouldn't it? The infobox is the only place in the article the sub-genres are, so where else do you suggest they be cited, on my talk page maybe? Landon1980 (talk) 21:14, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
What about Timmeh? He has made the same number of reverts as I. Does 3RR or edit-warring exceptions cover "they didn't discuss first, or anything about obtaining or enforcing consensus?" Yeah didn't think so. Let timmeh follow you around complaining and griping about you, and even take something like this to ANI, then you can tell me to stay cool. I am sick of him, he needs to leave me alone. He would clearly be valuable to this project if he spent the great deal of time he has doing something constructive. Is there not more important issues here to take to ANI than this? Surely he can find something better to do than worry about genre delimiters on Nickelback. If he would only channel all the time he has in a useful fashion he would be very valuable. Landon1980 (talk) 22:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

This is an opensource software in an European Funded Project called "Reservoir Project". I wanted to recreate the page citing more sources and making it comply with wikipedia policies but I think it is better to let you know about it first (as stated in the deletion notice). Here are some sources describing the project so you can see this is not vaporware nor backed by a company earning money.

Freshbakedpie's BarnstarI'll talk to him about his perceived overzealousness. While it is true that I don't wish to promote this behavior, he did go above and beyond the minimum requirements of that challenge and, as an editor, shows a dedication to fighting vandalism. As the old saying goes, the best intentions pave the path to the devil. In this case, I ask that you assume good faith and look on the bright side: while it may be true this editor has made some mistakes in fighting vandalism, the vast majority of his vandal fighting is beneficial. Besides this, he can always improve as an editor. I believe that this mistakes now will result in greater strength later on, as he will learn from these missteps. This user is relatively new and exhibits a passion for vandal fighting that is usually found in one who is new to the project. With guidance, this editor can lose the edge a bit but become more diligent and careful in his work. Many editors (including possibly myself) have started off worse than he has. If you really wish to help him grow as an editor, I'd suggest adopting him. --SharkfaceT/C 04:40, 17 April 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for April 14th, 2008.

Ralbot (talk) 09:07, 17 April 2008 (UTC) Thanks for your comments on my talk page. The edits by User:Tropicanmanofthesea are more than a COI. They are clearly nonsense, once you actually read them. They look plausible, but sorry... He/she adds photos of (a) Tory Island and (b) Slovenian forests, and gives the distance form the mainland as things like 37.54 miles - and 37.84 miles in another sentence - spurious and inconsistent accuracy. But in any case there is no island in the location he/she gives. There is no nature reserve. The stuff about legal status is rubbish. It's quite subtle in some ways, but it's a spoof.

But you have written that battle was fought between Hindu forces and Mughal empire. Please note that there was no Mughal empire up to that time, as north India from Peshawar to Bengal was ruled by Afghan rulers Sher Shah Suri and Islam Shah Suri from 1540 to 1555, as Humanyun was defeated in 1540 and forced to retreat to Kabul.

I am asking because the Wikipedia entry for award winning Polish comic book artist and popular flash game artist and developer Mateusz Skutnik was deleted on April 7, 2008, because he wasn't considered notable enough.
