Magic Crayon (copy of deleted article)
Hi there, sorry but I am not experienced in this. I would like to ask you a copy of the article about my band, which was deleted some time ago. The name of the band is Magic Crayon and you can read about the deletion "process" here: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Jaranda&oldid=153717984 (the last entry).
The band Magic Crayon will tour the USA this summer and I would like to look for a more spacious wiki to publish an updated article about it.
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards.

The dude who made the Tosh.0 page is a dick. Tosh.0 said to edit their wikipedia page and they would read funny edits on the air but the dick who made it set it so you cannot edit it. Way to rain on the parade dick, why did you even make the page (get a life) . I hope he dies in his sleep tonight (the guy who wrote the page not Tosh) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.209.37.51 (talk) 17:03, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
Why would you care so much for what Daniel Tosh does or doesn't do on his Tosh.o Wikipedia page. It won't be the end of the world. Besides, it'll help weed out those who do not show proper conduct to be banned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by WKBBLaNico (talk • contribs) 05:44, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
:It's all about the principle of protecting Wikipedia. It is not his playground to have his fans do what they want, if it is the page about his show. If he feels something is factually wrong about it, he can contact Wikimedia, but if he wants people to vandalize it for fun, then that is something we can not tolerate. The Placebo Effect (talk) 06:18, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
::Cool Story bro, but seriously, is Tosh.o's massacre really going to hurt you any . . . besides he said he wants to check the funniest ones in a week. So, here's what I propose, un-protect it, and let it happen then revert it back or delete the mess when he's done having his fun. I thought Wikipedia was cool, but now I know it's admins have no sense of humor.

Bring Flashforward Back- Deleted??
I created a page on Wikipedia called Bring Flashforward Back.
A day later it was deleted under "Speedy Deletion".
The page was fairly short as the fan campaign has only been around for a little over a month so efforts towards the show are limited as are information about the campaign.
The page was made to educate people on the fan campaign for the show Flashforward currently running called "Bring Flashforward Back" and the efforts being made to bring the show back for a second season.
Under section A3 it states that the reason for deletion is that the article only provides external links and no content for the reader.
The whole page is content educating the reader on the fan campaign.
There is no reason that the page should have been deleted.
Can you undelete it or at least send me a copy?
Thanks,
Kris

File:Example.jpg|Caption1
Two points of interest to U & one maybe not.? Scouting -- New Zealand & ? ((me)) .. "somewhere inside NZ"
Hi ..
Many many moons ago ..!
I thought that maybe- I had sufficient reason ..?
Especially after 45yrs worth of "privately funded", secretively private research
Into accoustical characteristics & harmonic effects .. buried within analogue multiple ch surround sound..
And .. having discovered 9quite by accident) in 1965 .. exactly WHERE & how to "Deplexer Decode" many multitudes of analogue surround sound channels (almost entirely ALL different physically enabled channels.. being full frequency & thus individually separate yes.. but still yet semi dependant upon each others existance .. for that of their own);
And:
After having started MAKING that research PUBLIC.. (via Xanga & Youtube.. facebook, and a multitude of forumss etc..
I thought maybe - it was time -- for the public to know too?
But apparently (this daft old kiwi) - a back_behind the wooden_stump (old) Kiwi Innovator ..
Living and thus arriving INTO public view .. from Down-under NZ
(buried as I am - somewhere "deep" in the forgotten rural heartland of Central Otago, NZ)
I made a fatal mistake see..!
I decided on a NON_DE_PLUME .. which thus ONLY related to the actual NAME of the tiny wee Central Otago town -- (where I am currently domiciled.. in the Teviot Valley) .. exactly halfway between Dunedin & Queenstown ..
It is that place called: ROXBURGH (on any halfway decent MAP).
And- as it was OBVIOUSLY (wel- obvious to me) "bang_smack" in the CENTRE of Central Otago,
Deep in Mainland NZ..!
I simply called myself:
User: ROXBURGH_NZ
Well- stranger things may have happened to my "late" Great Grandad
(Lieutenant Colonel David Cossgrove, DSO)
But I sincerely doubt it..?
As: some dweeb rouge bot thingie "electronic" editor here on Wikipedia;
For a reason known ONLY to it's ignorant creator../
Had thus decided to insult me .. by calling me a socket pupett -- ?
(of something in the Altlantic Ocean? ...)
And thus -- instantly ..
MY ENTIRE inputs on audio accoustical properties (in analogue) & mt own talk discussion page .. AND my talk:talk page.. ?
These were all LOCKED SOLID... pemanently BANNEd (and deliberately blocked to me)
HOWEVER..
I am -- a genuine "innovative" Inventing PATENTED - New Zealander..
whom was to say the least -- extremely disgusted & ofended by that action.
Therefore.. I "used" my (actual) NZ Company "Trading Name" (BRAND).
To thus "prove" (beyond any shadow of doubt)
..
I AM A NEW ZEALANDER..
And .. I actually have photographs of:
Sandymount.
&
Lieutenant Colonel David Cossgrove.
Whom- years ago -- before he became famous in the Boar War .. or in:
SCOUTING
And definitely long before he became famous for his DSO (or as mum told me -- about the day when asking her OWN Grandmum "Selena_Cossgrove" ..
?Why'd Grandad get a medal for having his - doodle shot off? -- And mum said .. even though in those days .. such talk resulted in an instant whack -- her Grandmum wa laughing so herd .. she forgot to punish her)
Thus..
Uncle David -- as he was formerly known
When he lived in Dunedin ..
Uncle David: Was his own "penname" non-deplume.. (that he used to call himself.. when living at Sandymount, on the Otago Peninsular .. with the other half of my Family -- "the Robertsons" ... & I have lots of photos of Sandymount too) ..
Uncle David was later to become famous as: Lieutenant Colonel David Cossgrove, DSO
(But to me.. as he was my Mum's Grandad .. he was just "my" Great grandad)
He did often WRITE articles for the ODT (Otago Daily Times Newspaper)
Whereupon he penned these all-- ? as "Uncle David".
But.. it's NOT this .. that upsets me the most.
?
What does UPSET ME !
Is that I cannot for the life of me.. figure out...?
HOW DO I UPLOAD these photos .. of David & Sandymount .. etc..
Or.. would you just prefer i whack them into my Facebook page:?

Please archive - as this is probably (by now) well outa date ..
Because it is obvious to me now .. that Wikipedia "blocks" IP addresses without actually "knowing" whom owns them .. if any one ?
I can "also" see that Wikipedia doesn't understand the Telecom (NZ) way of doing things ..
Which is to "float" almost ALL NZ users of their broadband & dialup services .. across a variety of IP's .. Totally independant upon any IP address you may have had .. the LAST time you were connected to their internet braodband highway
Such that virtually no-one .. anywhere in NZ has a fixed IP address.(apart from some whom pay exhorbitant prices for FIXED IP addresees)
Cheers.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity
Image:Information.svg Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions).

If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.

Speedy deletion of Duotrope
The article I created, Duotrope, was nominated for speedy deletion around 4 AM today, and was gone when I logged on at 8 AM. Isn't that a little too speedy? How can I contest? Rick Norwood (talk) 12:55, 16 June 2012 (UTC)

'''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/WLL/2012|Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries]]'''
Backstage at the Smithsonian Libraries is part of Wikipedia Loves Libraries 2012, the second annual continent-wide campaign to bring Wikipedia and libraries together with on-site events. Running this fall through October and November, libraries (and archives) will open their doors to help build a lasting relationship with their local Wikipedian community.
Organized by Wikimedia DC, this event will take place on October 12, 2012, and will include new editor training, a "backstage pass" tour of the National Museum of Natural History, and an edit-a-thon. Everyone is welcome to attend!
Notice of change
Hello. You are receiving this message because of a [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Administrators&oldid=526254016#Restoration_of_the_tools_.28proposal.29 recent change] to the administrator policy that alters what you were told at the time of your desysopping. The effect of the change is that if you are inactive for a continuous three year period, you will be unable to request return of the administrative user right. This includes inactive time prior to your desysopping if you were desysopped for inactivity and inactive time prior to the change in policy. Inactivity is defined as the absence of edits or logged actions. Until such time as you have been inactive for three years, you may request return of the tools at the bureaucrats' noticeboard. After you have been inactive for three years, you may seek return of the tools only through WP:RFA. Thank you. MBisanz talk 00:20, 4 December 2012 (UTC)
