[edit] Villiers_Club

Please could you undelete Villiers_Club. It is no less notable than Bullingdon_Club or Piers_Gaveston_Society. Part of the history of Oxford. Thank you. Adrianhealey1 04:04, 2 March 2007 (UTC) (AdrianHealey1)

I deleted it because there was no claim or sources as to what makes this club notable. If there exists independent sources and accounts which have covered this group, it may be deemed notable, but thus far we have nothing to go on. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 04:10, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

The criterion seems to be whether or not the club lists notable old members, which it does have. The trouble is that I am not willing to publish their names without their permission, which they won't give, so I'm being punished for being discreet. 04:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC) (AdrianHealey1)

Please sign your comments with ~~~~. Also even if you have the names of supposedly notable members, you must be able to verify that information based upon reliable sources, (please see Wikipedia:Attribution and Wikipedia:Reliable sources respectively). -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 05:44, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nazi cross

Hi! I noticed that you deleted the page Nazi cross, which was a redirect to Swastika. My rationale for creating this redirect was that "swastika" is a word that can be difficult to remember and to spell, and it is quite likely that people might use "nazi cross" as a search term since the swastika has come to be associated with the Nazi movement. Knowing this, maybe you would reconsider your deletion of this redirect? Byxakissaren 23:26, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I haven't heard anything from you on this subject, so I have recreated the redirect. If you still think it should be deleted, feel free to list it at Redirects for discussion. Byxakissaren 23:51, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the delayed response. I've been reviewing my actions and I'm not exactly certain why at the time I felt it was an inaccurate term, however I won't oppose its recreation. Sorry for the inconvenience, and thank you for bringing the matter to my attention. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 00:48, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Michael Stipe Photo

Please stop posting this picture for the article's main image. Even if it isn't your intention, I and others might consider it vandalism and will report you if you do it again. Thank you Dannyg3332 20:53, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

No one is claiming vandalism at work here. However what is your claim against the posting of this image (Image:Michael_Stipe_sings_Padova_2003.jpg)? Furthermore I would like to refer you to wikipedia's 3 revert policy at WP:3RR, which I'm afraid you may have already violated. Regardless we need to have a dialouge on this issue rather than continue to have multiple parties revert each other. I have started a new topic on the talk page at Talk:Michael_Stipe#Image_reverts. Please go there and make a case for whatever your view point may be. Thanks -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 00:00, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] tang

I re-edited it. let's keep the vocabulary gender-neutral, and either clearly mention the name of the sailor's wife, or just say "the wife of ....." Odst 23:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

That looks fine, thanks for helping to clarify. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 00:36, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vandalise

Malo you dont know what you are talking about. Is palestine not in the southwest of syria.. Yes it is, Palestine should be interchangeable with Israel as a country in the south west of syria. Would you like me to report your vandalisms of the syrian page. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.145.34.63 (talk) 01:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC).

Please have a look at the CIA factbook entry on Syria. It clearly states that the Golan Heights are occupied by Israel. You clearly have an agenda to push in your edits. Palestine is a region, while the State of Palestine has no sovereign territory. It is as if you would like the world to ignore the existance of the country known as Israel. All of the other borders listed for the country of Syria are also countries, not regions. Why should the country that occupies the Golan Heights be any different? -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 01:26, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

Actually it is internationally recognised that the golan heights is syrian territory therefore there should be no mention of it being israeli territory , Israel is below the golan heights and palestine is west bank and gaza. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.145.34.63 (talk • contribs) 04:57, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Then cite a reliable source for your claims. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 05:00, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Airscreen comment mistakenly left on an archive page

I do not see the AIRSCREEN article as advertising. Many people wonder what an inflatable movie screen is and how it works. Many people have never seen this but heard about AIRSCREEN, so I find it absolutely fair to have the AIRSCREEN article.

Why are you against this? We do not mention a company name in that article like in former times others have done.

Christian Kremer —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Airscreen (talk • contribs) 21:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC) mistakenly to User talk:Malo/Archive12

Forgive the delay in response to you message, however you left it on an uncreated archive page User talk:Malo/Archive12. To answer your question, I'm afraid that I do see the article as being promotional in nature. It does not seek to maintain a neutral point of view, nor does it cite reliable sources, also the fact that the word "Airscreen" is a registered trademark also raises ethical questions, in regards to your shameless promotion of the term. Furthuremore, your account created this article once before and it was deleted through an AFD Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Airscreen. If you wish to contest this deletion I suggest you take it before Wikipedia:Deletion review, and allow the community to decide. I don't believe this page should contain in article, instead it should probably be redirected to Inflatable movie screen. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 04:01, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IT asset management double standard

You cannot post one FOR-PROFIT organization like International Association of IT Asset Managers and not be able to post others like LicenseLogic. I repeat both are FOR-PROFIT, do not be fooled by the "association" part. So either pull all "external link"s off of "IT asset management" or allow other for profits to post that provide IT Asset Management trainings. Harryair02 20:49, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

I didn't actually look at the other link at the time, however you are correct it really doesn't belong there, so I removed it. Wikipedia isn't a vehicle for advertising, thanks for bringing it to my attention. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 01:46, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Then the links on Business analysis and Project management should be removed. IAITAM is not the same thing as a private company providing ITAM services. It is the governing and certifying body of ITAM. You can't have double standards when you are comparing apples and oranges. --Kmsiever 04:24, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Block of User:218.186.9.5

Any chance you could turn autoblock off so that I don't get caught in any? Cheers. – Chacor 04:27, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

I unblocked to check, and you shouldn't have any problems with being autoblocked from that IP. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 04:30, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Good stuff, thanks. – Chacor 04:31, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
