[edit] Hey

Could you unblock the god-damned ranges on wikia? Donal JW 11:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, as far as I know, there are no Wikia-wide range blocks at the moment. Although there are some on specific wikis where we've had problems. Please could you email community@wikia.com - giving specific information about where you are blocked from, what IP you are using, your user name (if you have one), and the specific message that you get when you try to edit. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 11:39, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I'll add to this. I see that you vadalised Wikipedia with another account shortly after leaving this message, and I know that the IP that you used with both accounts matches that used on Wikia for repeated vandalism. With that in mind, I think it unlikely that we will remove any range blocks affecting you on Wikia in the near future. -- sannse (talk) 11:54, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] License tagging for Image:Spaces.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Spaces.jpg. Wikipedia gets hundreds of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

• Wikipedia:Image use policy
• Wikipedia:Image copyright tags

This is an automated notice by OrphanBot. If you need help on selecting a tag to use, or in adding the tag to the image description, feel free to post a message at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions. 17:09, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:Neostinker

Hi, im sorry to just pop up like this, i was trying to change a picture in the affenpinscher article , i feel the picture i have portrays a better view of the face, however i inserted the image and i found that the code didnt work, the images is successfully on wikipedia. After the code did not work i could not undo the changes and now the picture is missing from this article. Please could you help me with this?

I've fixed the image. I disagree that yours is a better image for the article. It may show the face full-on, but it doesn't show the whole dog. It's also very dark. But there is room in the article for more than one image, I would suggest leaving the full dog image in the infobox and adding your image outside the box. And you can always expand the article to give a better balance of course ;)

By the way, it's usual here to add new messages to the bottom of the page, and you can sign by typing four tildes after your message (~~~~). -- sannse (talk) 07:09, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Thanks for your help on the affenpinscher article, i will add the image outside of the info box, im still quite new to this so im a little bit :-S. Thanks again (Neostinker 10:13, 22 June 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Source help

Hi , sorry to bother you .... again, you are the only administrator i know i have spoken to , i have uploaded an image , given its copyright status but i dont know how to add a source, i forgot to do it when i uploaded the image and now i can't figure out how to do it , i know when the source is given it will tell me wether the website is suitable but i would be grateful for your help. (Neostinker 15:18, 1 July 2006 (UTC))

All you need to do is add the link to the site where you got the image from to the image page. Just click edit at the top of the image information page here and type the url of the site there. That will show the source nicely. -- sannse (talk) 18:30, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] We need your help...

Hello Sannse! We need some admin help again on the Preterist page which is getting repeatedly vandalized by someone with a wierd "grudge" link they keep posting. All of the contibutors to this article, partial preterist and full preterist (who in most other things are at war with each other!), are in agreement this is vandalism, and the anon editor is not participating in the talk page. Can you assist or let an Admin know that can assist?

[edit] RE: Johnny Lee Clary - Please help

Hey there, my name is Nick, my username is Potters house and I have encountered a problem with trying to provide any information about Johnny Lee Clary. I have posted this post off to other staff members also. I am not sure if this is the best route to resolve this, but can think of no other way.

The article Johnny Lee Clary has been deleted. I have known Johnny through telephone conversations and email for a short time now (about 3-4 months). He recently came and shared his life story in for our church group for the first time just two weeks ago. Before I met Johnny I became interested in his story i.e. his conversion from the head of the KKK in the US, to being a Christian Minister who now teaches against race hate groups. I found the article Johnny Lee Clary as it still is today, deleted, except for some small talk. If you read the talk you see what I have said at the time (notice I have gotten no reply, probable my fault as I don’t know heaps about WIKI policy). From my understanding Johnny Lee Clary was posting as The KingOfDixie and looks like he tried to change a few things on Wiki concerning the KKK. While this is a controversial subject, Johnny being the former leader of the KKK would probably know a thing or two and be able to contibute, but that’s another story. He eventually made an article about himself i.e. Johnny Lee Clary. Johnny being quite new to Wiki and ignorant of rules of conduct found himself at odds with some admins and had his site deleted.

Whilst observing Johnny over the last 3-4 months I have noticed that he is very outspoken against race hate groups such as the Neo Nazis, Skinheads, KKK etc. This, more often than not, lands Johnny in the hot seat. He has experienced persecution from racist groups for his departure from the KKK and voiced opinions against these racist organizations on his webpage, www.xkkk.org. Johnny has also received multiple death threats.

Because of his bold stance against these racist groups Johnny has become accustomed to hatred directed at him by those same groups. Johnny concluded that perhaps the guy who deleted the page Johnny Lee Clary was a white supremist. I am hoping to clear this up. Before he told me this, I started to create J L Clary, after hearing nothing from posting in user talk on Johnny Lee Clary's article. I wasn't 10 minutes into the J L Clary article when it was issued a deletion notice, and then before I had time to reply (about 5 minutes) it was deleted! I was amazed. I told this to Johnny and he said the main reason he was told that he couldn't have an article was because he was not prominent enough.

Johnny has a very famous testimony and has been on multiple TV shows like Oprah, Donahue, Jerry Springer, etc, and even recently when he preached in our town he made front page news, a double spread on his life, and the local ABC interviewed him live, which is not bad for our town (LISMORE NSW Australia) See http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Kerry&dir=prev&offset=20050327125109&limit=500&action=history .

When David Wilkerson came to our town hardly anyone knew or cared, yet David Wilkerson is allowed an article (and rightfully so), but more people know of Johnny. As to whether he is famous or not, just Google search him and see all the TV interviews and radio interviews he does. He hangs with some of the most prominent Christian leaders in Australia. Besides this, just being the former KKK leader should be enough for an article (he doesn't even get a mention in the KKK one, and would be deleted). He was also a Pro Wrestler. So he is prominent in Christian circles, he is prominent amongst race hate groups, and he is also prominent in the WWE wrestling.

Johnny asked me to test the waters for him to see if he was being persecuted by someone from a race hate group. So I created some sites, John Clary Wade Watts and Operation Colorblind - the name of Johnny's Ministry. These have been fine until yesterday. I cannot understand why these sites are just issued a deletion notice? Just because they mention JLC? I was hoping to discuss these things but they are just deleted. The one on Wade Watts is about a black gospel preacher who was one of the leaders in the civil rights movement in the US and was good friends with Martin Luther King. He took Johnny Clary under his wing and even ordained Johnny as a minister (to this day Johnny is the only white man ordained in the All Black Baptist Church). But his article is up for deletion because I mentioned Clary and had a link.

That is why I am writing to you to see if you can help. It seems to me that the person(s) deleting all articles which even mention Johnny Lee Clary has an agenda. I thought that wikipedia admins had to keep a neutral stance on every article. It seems like this guy has a vendetta against JLC. Why delete the Wade Watts article. That is guilt by association and could be proof that all deletions are because of racial discrimination! I hope this is not the case and would think that it is politically motivated, as Johnny is a strong supporter of George Bush and Antaeus Feldspar of Kerry.

See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=John_Kerry&dir=prev&offset=20050327125109&limit=500&action=history This shows how Antaeus Feldspar supports Kerry, which is fine, but Johnny is a strong supporter of Bush.

My hope is that Johnny will be able to have an article like any other famous person, minister, former KKK leader, or pro wrestler, and that Johnny and anyone connected with him and his ministry will in future have certain rules set in place that do not allow the wholesale deletion of the articles associated with him, but that they will be at least discussed.

I thank you for reading this long winded post. I have only been using WIKI for about a year myself so I need your help, I don't really know what else to do. I hope you can help. I personally think that Johnny's story is one that is beneficial to the cause of reconciliation between races and to the3 unity of society as a whole. It would be a shame if WIKI became known for having covert racists. Of course I hope that this is a misunderstanding and that all will be cleared up soon.

Here are some links that might help.

Also note his contributions: Featured articles: · African American literature -- My first featured article. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback. While I didn't start the article, I obsessed on it for an entire month and wrote most of the copy. · Ku Klux Klan -- I began work on this article after it became a featured article. Since then I've mediated several editorial disputes on the article (including one of which kept the article from being delisted as a FA) and made a large number of edit.

[edit] Michael Graham

Hello, Sannse....If you could, would you please revisit the Michael Graham page to resolve an impasse....I have made minor changes to the reference to the "Islam" controversy section, and I am having challenges trying to get user badlydrawnjeff to work towards a compromise. Please review the comments in the discussion section under "August 2006 editing", with specific reference to the Washington Post article and the reasons for Graham's dismissal from WMAL. Jeff believes that it is an accurate representation to say that Graham was fired due to hosting the discussion of Islam and terrorism. I believe that it would be more accurate to say that Graham's comments caused the controversy, not the discusion topic. I refer you to Michael Graham's own words in an August 9, 2006, article on the firing, (http://www.charlestoncitypaper.com/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A16052) In the article, Graham stated, "One year ago this week, I was fired from my talk radio job by ABC/Disney for saying on the air — and in the pages of this newspaper — that "Islam is a terrorist organization." ....That's what I said. ABC ordered me to apologize for it. They insisted I perform community service as a form of penance for it. I told them I would never apologize for telling the truth, and they fired me."

I offered a compromise wording to jeff, but he refuses to budge or contribute to the compromise. I would appreciate it if you could help settle this dispute. 68.50.149.214 00:25, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection

Hi Sannse, just a quick question really, about a year ago i created this article, a few months ago someone added the newer issues of the magazine which is fair enoug. Shortly after i noticed that more issues were being added that i had not seen confirmed on the official magazine site, another edit has also been made more recently on the page about estimated future special issues which are also not confirmed on the site. I have contacted the company in the past asking about future issues and they have always infromed me they do not get a set list until the figurines have been made, therefore i should only trust information on the official site. Is it ok for me to remove all the unverified information or do i have to tag the article first? History of my conversations with the editors is on the talk page for the article. There is also a link to the official site. Thanks. (Neostinker 16:40, 11 October 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Quick check-in and hello

Hello, Sannse dear! I was crestfallen to see that both you and Elf are not active on the dog breed list project these days. Not that I can talk! I just did a quick check-in last night to review the Siberian Husky, Alaskan Husky, and Seppala Siberian Sleddog articles. Got hooked and wound up doing a general edit of the AH article and making some changes on the other two, including a decent intro for the SH article which has somehow acquired a very poor one. Unfortunately I'm out again as suddenly as I reappeared; I won't be around here again for some months probably. We are moving Seppala Kennels out of the Yukon, going to central Manitoba where our feeding supplies will be cheaper and more plentiful and our contact with SSSD Project supporters much better and more centralised. We got tired of paying the "northern premium" of exorbitant transport rates, ruinous vet fees, and of living in such a primitive situation. We're acquiring a 240-acre farm in the lovely "Parkland" region of Manitoba and joining forces with two Chinook breeders whom we've known and admired for several years. A huge new adventure -- but moving a BIG kennel over 3000 miles is a daunting prospect. It'll take place this summer sometime. Hopefully I might get back to Wikipedia in the autumn. But I couldn't go without saying a warm hello to you.

Woops! Almost forgot to tell you about MY new wiki! Hosted at "Peanut Butter Wiki": SeppalaWiki. It is why Wikipedia has seen so little of me for the last year. It's slow work (because it's taking awhile for Project supporters to see the long-term value of it) and it's discouraging to create so many stubs knowing that probably nobody else will expand them, at least for awhile. Still and all, great oaks from little acorns grow and I suspect that a couple years or more down the line others will discover the usefulness of an online wiki knowledge base for a struggling small-population breed like ours

I hope you aren't having too much trouble with depression these days -- I had to battle it a bit off and on this winter. (You might have a look at the Byron Katie website www.thework.com; she has an excellent self-enquiry methodology that can be very helpful; someone pointed it out to me and I found it useful.) All of my best wishes to you! Ditkoofseppala 19:41, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
