Howdy, I recently came across a bunch of empty categories. I figured the creator had some grand plan, and that the plan probably needed discussing, so instead of just {{db-c1}}ing the (always) empty categories, I mentioned them at UCFD. Of course I was completely off-base: the creator replied that he had just made a mistake, and wanted them deleted (probably he though blanking the page was enough). I did a non-admin closure of the UCFD, and just wanted an admin to check it out.

I also asked asked Atheanara to check my closure, so no worries. I figure you close a lot of these, so it should be easy to check.

Comments welcome, but I think I'm pretty certain "just ask the user on his talk page first" is a good lesson to take away. Thanks for any help. JackSchmidt (talk) 18:10, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure I'm leaving this question in the right place. From what I can tell, MZMcBride deleted the page on Meryl Runion. I had created the page but received no notice that it was being challenged or deleted. Is it possible to have the page placed in a sandbox so that I might work on fixing what was deemed lacking?

Why was succinct deleted?

You performed a "speedy deletion" on Church of the Assumption-Rivne.jpg without even reading my reasons for keeping the image. The image you deleted was NOT a "bit-for-bit" copy of the image in Wikicommons. If you had read my comments on every relevant talk page you would have known that the images were NOT identical (I took BOTH photos) and that the image on Wikicommons was an inferior image to the one you deleted. I demand that you undo the speedy deletion and do what I asked you to do--replace the Wikicommons image with the superior image which you deleted. I don't know how to "replace" images in Wikicommons.

Your name was posted with another editor's so I sent this message to both of you. The other editor had performed the deletion so you can ignore this. (Taivo (talk) 09:34, 9 June 2008 (UTC))[reply]

You phrased your reasoning well. I think, in the end, this will be for the best, even though it was somewhat of a risk unprotecting when the dispute is still so fiery. So far, the edit warring has ceased, so your remark must have had some positive effect. As you say, we are a wiki.

can you please tell me why shoop da whoop is protected and you deleted the talk page? 12.226.11.161 (talk) 21:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MZMcBride, can I please ask you to reconsider your topic ban of TundraBuggy? I've been trying, as an uninvolved administrator, to regain control of the situation at Muhammad al-Durrah, so I'd like to make sure that admins are speaking with one voice there. See Talk:Muhammad al-Durrah#Conditions for editing. TundraBuggy was actually doing what I'd asked him to do. --Elonka 19:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I respectfully disagree. I had asked an editor to do something, he did it, and then another admin (yourself) came along and put a 90-day topic ban on him. This seems excessive to me, and it also undermines my authority in the situation. I don't want to to just overrule you or take things to ANI or AE... Can we find a compromise here? --Elonka 20:12, 10 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
