New page patrol – Survey Invitation Hello Catfish Jim and the soapdish! The WMF is currently developing new tools to make new page patrolling much easier. Whether you have patrolled many pages or only a few, we now need to know about your experience. The survey takes only 6 minutes, and the information you provide will not be shared with third parties other than to assist us in analyzing the results of the survey; the WMF will not use the information to identify you. If this invitation also appears on other accounts you may have, please complete the survey once only. If this has been sent to you in error and you have never patrolled new pages, please ignore it. Please click HERE to take part. Many thanks in advance for providing this essential feedback. You are receiving this invitation because you have patrolled new pages.

I am now completely steering clear from WP:PERM pages.—cyberpower (X-Mas Chat)(Contrib.) 19:32, 31 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Feel free to ask me questions like what would I do if I had the power to block users.—cyberpower (Talk to Me)(Contributions) 13:24, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Questions like that are a long way off, but I've added some more general questions. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 14:44, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Earlier on AIV you responded to a report about this user that was posted from my account. It was posted because of a known glitch in Huggle. I reverted something this user wrote, and Huggle detected that the user had already been reported at UAA, so it automatically reported them at AIV. It will do this even when the user has no warnings. I've complained about the issue, but no luck so far. Calabe1992 18:07, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads-up. He's since been indefinitely blocked by Orange Mike as he's impersonating an Italian footballer... not something I have a great deal of knowledge of! Catfish Jim and the soapdish 18:11, 9 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Catfish Jim,

You just declined the speedy tag on Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:UBX/KFC, presumably because Carbonrodney was not the only contributor to the page. As the only other contributor, I support the deletion and have added the tag back in - the discussion has been moved to Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Feureau/UserBox/Pizza Hut instead. Cheers, Yunshui 雲‍水 11:52, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, I've deleted it and commented at the new MFD discussion. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 12:16, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi im Sawant Mukta can u pls unblock my account. it would b a great thing.--116.202.172.214 (talk) 17:34, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You have to log in as User:Sawant Mukta and appeal at User talk:Sawant Mukta as directed in the block message. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 18:39, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

A happy New Year to you. I'm afraid I am quite unfamiliar with this process and may have misunderstood the template syntax. Yes, I intended to report another Nimbley suspected SP. I have moved it to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nimbley6/Archive - although that does not seem like the correct place either. (See my last edit but one). Further hints gratefully received. Ben MacDui 19:32, 10 January 2012 (UTC) PS and moved again to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Nimbley6. What fun. Ben MacDui 19:36, 10 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Jim,

Wouldn't a school come under the heading of being an organization?

Too late now, anyway, it must go AfD or PROD if it's been denied CSD. Since it seems pretty likely to be deleted anyway I was just trying to save unnecessary paperwork (the discussion has had plenty of time on its talk pages and at WP:PNT#István Fekete Primary School).

Best wishes Si Trew (talk) 14:11, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, schools are specifically exempt. See Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#A7. If you're interested why they're exempt have a look at: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Schools/Criteria for Speedy Deletion A7

I'm completely unsure of what's going on here. The page I created for Lesley (Lesley Stowe Fine Foods) has been deleted and (further to the exchange below) I would like to know what I need to do in order to reinstate it. The last message I received thru My Talk was to inform me that I had inadvertently removed the speedy deletion tag which, I believe, must have occurred when I copied and pasted the content back into the body. Admittedly, I'm a novice and would simply like to know how to get Lesley's page up-and-running again. Pls. advise at your earliest convenience. Many thx., Brad

It was deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement as it was a direct copy and paste of http://lesleystowe.com/about/lesley/

There is information below on how to use copyrighted material on Wikipedia, but before you attempt that, have a read of WP:N. Can you demonstrate notability through significant coverage in reliable sources? Catfish Jim and the soapdish 00:43, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thx. Jim. I'll try to get my head around this and will revert back to you should I have any further questions. Cheers, User talk:Bradjw —Preceding undated comment added 01:58, 12 January 2012 (UTC).[reply]

Hi Jim. I think I'm getting the hang of this! FYI - I found a page on a contemporary of Lesley's and now see what improvements need to be made. My question is, once I have the page ready for publication, do I simply "create" it and await administrative feedback? Naturally, if there's a step(s) to reinstatement I'm missing, pls. let me know. Cheers, User talk:Bradjw 19:15, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This page should not be speedy deleted as an unambiguous copyright infringement, because... (your reason here) --Bradjw (talk) 23:37, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I created this article on behalf of Lesley Stowe Fine Foods. The content is taken directly from the co's website (which it owns) and is fully sanctioned by Lesley (ergo, there is no copyright infringement). Pls. let me know how you wish me to proceed...

For - and on behalf of - Lesley Stowe Fine Foods,

Brad J. Winter

That said, Wikipedia is not a soapbox or means of advertising or promotion. If your intent is to advertise for Stowe, it will not be tolerated here. Furthermore, if you work for her company, you have a conflict of interest and would not be able to write objectively on the topic, which is a core aim of Wikipedia. elektrikSHOOS (talk) 23:43, 11 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, I am not an employee of the co. and have - under Lesley's instructions - merely copied and pasted the biographical text from her website. There is no intention to advertise and - IMHO - feel that the content provides a concise, unbiased description of this individual.

Can you please restore Talk:Fairbanks-Morse (I've already re-created an associated redirect). This (assuming its content was appropriate) should never have been deleted under G8, but it was vandal-moved this morning and so there might not have been a live page present at the time. Thanks Andy Dingley (talk) 15:03, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Done. There were a whole load of redirects that that were also deleted. I'll see what I can do to restore them. Catfish Jim and the soapdish 15:07, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, User:108.32.102.122 is the Verizon vandal. One of her hallmarks is making weird random lists of things. Her other one is adding numerous wikilinks to common words, as seen in the filtered edit. Best, NawlinWiki (talk) 16:41, 12 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
