Just a friendly reminder to check the page history before you delete an article, as you did in Tsunami. Next time, I'll have to trout you. EhJJ^TALK 00:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Simplification

I put in peer review 7 articles, which need some simplification. Can you help? Nataly8 (talk) 07:19, 16 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Flood flag

Can I have this flag? I have to revert many changes of Hazard. Nataly8 (talk) 16:44, 20 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

i think your page should be deleted!

I saw your recent blocking of 95.132.239.216 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log) with an expiry time of 1 month (anonymous users only, account creation blocked) (Disruptive editing: Sockpuppet on enwiki). The IP created an account — Whizkid (talk • contribs • CA • deleted contribs • nuke contribs • logs • filter log • block user • block log) — which also created a number of similar articles. There are also many non-rolled-back changes by both the IP and Whizkid. Based on your block, I'd assume we should rollback the edits and delete the other articles, but just wanted to check with you first, since I don't know the whole story. Thanks!

Block.

Hey Peter. Just wanted to let you know that I changed your block on User:207.166.204.5 from 31 hours to 3 years, as it is an open proxy hosted at ipblot.info. Thanks!--Gordonrox24 | ^Talk 22:54, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No access to wikimedia pages but want to post pictures on simple

Vandalism

What was this about? --Chem ical int er est (talk) 16:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wheeeee. PeterSymonds (talk) 16:32, 4 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Middleton?

Heya there, do you think it would be a lot of work to come up with a stub on Kate Middleton? - She has the attention of the media currently, and it may be time well spent (as it can attract editors). Unfortunately, I am no good at writing biographies...--Eptalon (talk) 22:19, 18 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So you're my prison guard eh?

...awww. Mr. Berty ^talk/_stalk 08:44, 28 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

AGF?

Punitive? I thought you knew me better than that. Disappointing. fr33k man 16:33, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your judgement in this case is equally disappointing. PeterSymonds (talk) 16:38, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why is my judgement in question? Because I chose to give the user a chance instead of just indef blocking him? I saw a user who was blocked on another site for socking, came here and began to comment how they are here only to serve time for enwiki. We've been here before Peter, and you are well aware of how these things usually play out. Indeed this user is already disrupting the project, but, I guess I'm the bad one here, not the user and not you, of course, for assuming I was acting in a punitive manner. Nice to have people respect you! ;) fr33k man 17:00, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If you wanted to give him a chance, leaving him unblocked would have been more sensible. Why block for two weeks? If you're so sure how it's going to play out, why not wait until they do something actually blockable? That is why your judgement (in this particular case) is questionable. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:09, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Personally, I'm not up for giving them a chance, but reading the comments on AN I felt that a block was in order, but not an indef one, which seems to have been equated here on simplewiki to mean permanent, which it does not. The user has done something block-able, just coming here whilst blocked elsewhere. Additionally, going around and explaining that they are here to pay penance is disruptive. fr33k man 17:14, 29 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use of revert

Why revert here on my AIV request? It's dealing with non-vandalism, good-faith edits by an established user. Shouldn't you have undid instead, and/or left an edit summary of some kind Purple backpack89 06:47, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(talk page stalker) Well at least the user's blocked now. That was the only thing needed to be done. Mr. Berty (seasons greetings!) ^talk/_stalk 10:41, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's still inappropriate use of the rollback. When I did something similar, I was told I might lose the tool. Purple backpack89 21:15, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well he tells you if it's wrong. If he just reverts it, then you know he's done it. Mr. Berty (seasons greetings!) ^talk/_stalk 16:30, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Service Award

This editor is a **Yeoman Editor** and has the right to show this **Wikipedia Pocket Edition**.

Hi PeterSymonds, I think it is about time you recieved a book, and with over 2,500 edits and nearly two years service, you get a copy of the Pocket Edition of the Wikipedia. Congratulations Peterdownunder (talk) 06:08, 13 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why you delete? I just want help this wikipedia.--Semangat (talk) 17:09, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. You really need to create referenced pages here. A single line page is no better than no article at all. Please consider this before recreating any of the pages. Thanks. PeterSymonds (talk) 17:13, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

I noticed you deleted my sub-page. I was okay with deleting the category, but come on, the Operation enduring blah blah thing was a sub-page and should be respected like one. I mean, Groton makes articles with less than 15 words but they don't get deleted. Reverter (talk) 19:44, 7 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Flood flag

I'm sorry, Peter. I'm still trying to figure out what is repetitive enough and uncontroversial enough that I should either get a flood flag or use my bot (User:Auntof6Bot). Sorry that I flooded enough to make you have to give me the flag. --Auntof6 (talk) 10:31, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Clara Petacci

Hello there,

I recently copyedited an article about Clara Petacci, one of Mussolini's lovers/mistresses. In that context, there is a photo here that shows a portrait of hers. She was shot, together with Mussolini, in 1945. According to italian law, the copyright for photos is 20 years (for "Simple Photos"), and the usual 70 years, after the death of the author, for "artistic" ones. Supposing the author died around 1940, this would mean 2010. Problem is: the author is unknown. So I would suggest to transfer the photo to commons, so we can use it here. What do you think? --Eptalon (talk) 21:54, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
