Preserved Deleted pages in the user space

Here's the articles that were deleted and preserved in the user space. I'm not sure what to do with them (I don't know if you just VFD them or what) so I'll list them here and you can do (or not do) with them what you will. If you reply, I'd appreciate at least a note on my talk page.

Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/First Photograph

I just got a high-res version, and the image is public domain. Please support the high-res version. --brian0918™ 17:05, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Schoolwatch

I notice you put the blatant POV-abuse (e.g. "Make sure your vote is counted!") back into this, and tagged it with a {{merge}}, even though Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch contains the more recent information (namely, schools for which the discussion is no longer active are not listed), and therefore no merge is needed.

User:Dr Zen/keepschools

The discussion on this template on a user subpage has been moved from WP:TFD to WP:VFD as user:Netoholic closed the discussion in its former location with the comment that TfD is only for entries in the Template: namespace. I have taken the liberty of moving your vote from its former location to the present discussion at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Dr Zen/keepschools. You may of course change your vote or stikethrough it all together in the normal way. To avoid any allegations of vote stacking I am contacting everybody who voted at TfD and Netoholic who closed the discussion, but not anybody who had not already expressed an opinion. Please feel free to disucss this on my talk page. Thryduulf 14:48, 13 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Also, please give your opinion on the jurisdiction issue, at Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Proposal. Radiant_* 15:36, Apr 13, 2005 (UTC)

• For the VfD tag on User:Radman1/keepschools, I would have put a TfD tag on it, but it's been decided that the proper place for this template is at VfD. --Carnildo 18:20, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • If you look at ' deleted history, you'll see that was what was done first. —Korath (Talk) 18:26, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Adminship

Hi Korath. I nominated you for an admin. Just go to Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Korath and indicate your acceptance and answer a few questions. -- Darwinek 10:47, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• So should I delete your nomination from WP:RFA? -- Darwinek 11:26, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Please. —Korath (Talk) 11:37, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

I'd like to think that sooner or later you might reconsider, even if not at this time... Grutness|^hello? 13:39, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your confidence in me, but it's misplaced. People with tempers like mine shouldn't have access to block buttons. —Korath (Talk) 14:02, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

I don't know; we have our differences, but I think we should have more reluctant admins. Reconsider? — Xiong熊talk 09:54, 2005 Apr 15 (UTC)

Maybe we need more reluctant admins, but we definitely do not need more tin-pot dictators, which is what I'd turn into. —Korath (Talk) 14:10, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Vandalism?

On VFD/Oral sex (no pictures) you called an obviously good faith edit that I made, which you disagreed with, vandalism. I'm sure you're aware that it is not reasonable to call something vandalism just because you disagree with it. ... I understand that there could have been a misunderstanding, so I thought I'd bring your error to your attention here. If you decide to reply on the VFD page, feel free to delete my comment here, though I'd prefer not to have a long discussion there on the matter since it is off topic. --Gmaxwell 14:50, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

KateWinsletTitanic2.jpg

Image:KateWinsletTitanic2.jpg - the grey bars are not a part of the movie. If you can edit that out, that'd be awesome. Kevin Rector (talk) 18:50, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

Done. There'll be caching issues for a bit, as usual when uploading over an old image. —Korath (Talk) 19:06, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Monobook.css

I made the little change... it doesn't seem to be working. -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:30, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. It's working here, both on Opera and IE (I don't have Firefox installed). The servers send out a header to make your browser reluctant to reload the sitewide Monobook.css more than once every 31 days; if you force a reload of http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=MediaWiki:Monobook.css&action=raw&ctype=text/css&smaxage=2678400, things work properly. —Korath (Talk) 09:31, Apr 15, 2005 (UTC)

Template competition

Thanks for your comments about my Developed Solution templates. I've tweaked them slightly, and hope it looks better now - can you check, as I'm still on this rubbish laptop! violet/riga (t) 21:32, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tin-pot dictators

Good; very good. You and I may disagree on many things, but you show an admirable sense of your own limits -- more, perhaps, than I can say for myself.

I invite you to join a caucus on the ongoing Charter Convention; please send me email. (Click my sig.) — Xiong熊talk 03:41, 2005 Apr 16 (UTC)

Youri Messen Jaschin (vfd)

Thanks for the prompt! I -think- I have followed the instructions. At least it appears on the vfd page now. I started the process yesterday, and my brain was too tired to follow the instructions past the first step :-) Please let me know if I've not done it correctly Eilthireach 20:45, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Thank you

Thanks for rv'ing the most boring vandalism ever to hit my userpage. Frankly, if I was going to waste my time whacking someone's page, I'd be a lot more creative than just changing a couple of dates. What are vandals coming to these days? Joyous 03:18, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

US 94

Not a problem. --SPUI (talk) 17:49, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Stub sorting duplication

Thanks for the offer, but I'm most of the way through it now. My main frustration is not so mucht he task as I seem to have a poor connection to the net tonight, and the link has gone down a couple of times. page caching's been slow too, which doesn't help. But (famous last words) I think I'm within ten minutes of completing it now. Grutness|^hello? 11:23, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Automated VFDing

I've slightly added to and thought you might be interested and able to help me with my problem. I'd appreciate any assistance (there, not here; I only comment here to alert you to the fact that I continued the discussion there: it's been a while since the last previous post). Thanks! —msh210 14:20, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Template:Corp-stub

Hi, I executed the article move you requested through the Template:db tag. However, in the future, use the Template:move tag for Wikipedia:Requested moves. Cheers, --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 19:31, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Would be happy to, though I really don't see the point of letting page-move vandalism hang around at WP:RM for a week. —Korath (Talk) 21:50, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the board on Sandbox/Chess

Thanks for the board!!! :-)

Thanks for getting the photo template

I thought the Abu Ghraib template was a pretty nifty hack in leiu of a more formal solution. Unfortunately, almost no one understands what it is or how it works. I thank you for being one of those people. These image debates make me come back less and less frequently. It seems that a majority thinks we're a free speech forum first, and an encyclopedia second.

Copyrighted text on Abu Ghraib

Hi, I've noticed you have reinsterted the inclusion template into Abu Ghraib (no pictures). When this template is installed mediawiki dynamically inserts the text of the Abu Ghraib article without preserving attribution, in fact it actually provides misleading attribution. This unfortunately is in violation of the GFDL which wikipedia is licensed under, as we are required to maintain attribution. I tried getting the template to also provide a link to the correct history, but I couldn't find a way to get it to work. Even if you believe the inclusion of the history on another page is sufficent (which I disagree with, especially because of the misleading history attached to the no pictures version) then we must also consider what happens if a downstream fork of wikipedia fails to provide access to the orignal article? We really don't want to create additional copyright pitfalls for other people. You seem to know some about the inclusion template, ... is there something we can do to fix this problem?--Gmaxwell 17:15, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

You can link to the history either by cut and pasting from the link on the original page, like so, or by using the slightly more third-party-friendly incantation {{SERVER}}{{localurl:Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse|action=history}},
