Thanks for uploading Image:Aliens-in-america.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:42, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Why did you —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.45.193.119 (talk) 14:44, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting my recent (and successful!) RfA. It passed at at 55/17/6. Kwsn (Ni!) 01:17, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your work closing deletion debates. I have queried the List of anarchist musicians decision because I don't think the keep voters managed to provide arguments against the reasons for deletion. Please see the discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 November 3. Respectfully, violet/riga (t) 18:50, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
Sir or madam, I notice that you have deleted this image which was uploaded by me, even after I had added {{Non-free media rationale}}, would you please tell me what I had done wrong? Thank you! Talk to ► Kevin 14:56, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
Wallowing in my RfA: This time it's personal... | ||
My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities. I will strive to be an admirable admin, shiny and cool, reasonable and beatific. Pigmanwhat?/trail 05:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Dearest GDonato,
Thank you for your participation in my RFA, which closed successfully with 137 supports, 22 opposes, and 5 neutrals. Your kind words of support are very much appreciated and I look forward to proving you right. I would like to give special thanks to The_undertow and Phoenix-wiki for their co-nominations. Thank you again and best regards.
Good job reverting vandalism! I want a turn now ;) KingPuppy 14:52, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
I never thanked you for participating in my RfA a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for your support, though unfortunately the request was closed as "no consensus". I plan to run again at a later time, and I hope you will support me again then.
Thanks again! —Remember the dot (talk) 06:38, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
...thank you for your participation. I withdrew with 83 supports, 42 opposes, and 8 neutrals. Your kind words and constructive criticism are very much appreciated. I look forward to using the knowledge I have accrued through the process to better the project. I would like to give special thanks to Tim Vickers and Wikidudeman for their co-nominations.
Hi GDon4t0 can I ask you for some little help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shark118 (talk • contribs) 15:30, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

I wonder can you provide me with the text of the deleted Space Hijackers article? I think I can clean it up and source it. Regards, Skomorokh incite 15:53, 25 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your efforts to keep wiki more useful. I did not have any non-free content / images on my page User:Pinecar/sandbox/Universities. I wish, you deleted the source of the specific university page that you felt was offending - instead of my sandbox area. Pinecar (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 06:21, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
Admining at this time of night is never a good idea and you have my sincere apologies for the incorrect block placed on your account by myself. Please feel free to trout as necessary. Regards, GDonato (talk) 00:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
You deleted the image Image:1970 SimpsonsSears Logo.gif some time ago for lacking FU and other details. I remember the image and have been unable to find it on the net, so I was wondering if you could undelete it to let me fill in where the original uploader failed to do his job and put the FU inof in. I'll watch here. Thanks. Mbisanz (talk) 16:24, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
On behalf of the other editors at Help wiki, welcome to..well...Help wiki! ;) All the best, — Rudget speak.work 19:18, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Just to say thanks again, you saved me a lot of bother there! FireFox didn't seem to happy to have javascript disabled, but at least I don't look like a rogue admin now!! Cheers,--Porcupine (prickle me! · contribs · status) 17:14, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks so much ... A. B.
GDonato, thanks so much for your support in my RfA.
Please enjoy the haikus; I'm off to make my first big edit to the Main Page!

Per WP:RFPP, I think that we need to consider a rangeblock (potentially very troublesome) or semi-protection for the articles. I've semid some, as I think it's a better idea than a large rangeblock! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 16:49, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
The pages Dark Wave, Neoclassical (Dark Wave), and Blutengel are experienceing more than an just an edit war. As I said these 87.122 are sockpuppets of user:Breathtaker. He is engaging in massive 3rr violations which equals vandalism. This is a sockpuppeteer with rampant activity... he won't stop. The pages Gothic Rock, Cruxshadows, and The Birthday Massacre have already been semi protected because of this guys rampant vandalism so why should these pages be any different. I didn't someto the request for semiprotection board until after he violated 3rr, 4rr, 5rr, I think all the way up to 10rr violations on some of these pages.--Dr who1975 (talk) 16:52, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
I don't think he violated 3rr. Looking at WP:3RR: the rule applies to undoing the actions of another editor 3 times. Jack was undoing the edits of a anonymous IP... not an editor.--Dr who1975 (talk) 17:38, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I was wondering if you could provide me with the text of the deleted page: List of cars used by the 9/11 hijackers. Just to let you know, it's not a copyright violation, libel, or personal information, etc. Thanks. — Noah¢s (Talk) 02:03, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
I have replied to your query at mt talk page.92.0.238.205 (talk) 14:16, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Dear GDonato, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).
Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.
Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E talk 12:32, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

for zapping that page from my userspace. --AndrewHowse (talk) 20:28, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi; I wanted to move Palestinian cinema to Cinema of Palestine, to get it in line with all the other "Cinema of---" articles. Unfortunately, I really messed up, and moved it to Cinema of Palestinian, (ugh..) instead! Now; when I try to move it onto Cinema of Palestine I cannot do so, as I get the message "The page could not be moved: a page of that name already exists, or the name you have chosen is not valid.". In other words...I think you have to delete the present Cinema of Palestine (=admin action) ..so I that we can move Cinema of Palestinian there.. Regards, Huldra (talk) 11:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
I think your observations on the evidence page of the IRC arbitration are spot on. As for access, I don't think there's a good long term solution. Any page on English Wikipedia (including the Requests for adminship page) that mentions the admins channel is likely to be a focus for discord. We could set up a mail queue for access requests, but putting anything about that list on wiki would invite further trolling. Perhaps the arbitration committee will identify that trolling as the major problem here, or perhaps it will go back to treating IRC as the problem. --Tony Sidaway 13:20, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
On my request for Rollback, you stated: Visit WP:ANI and get consensus, and this will be done. I'm not sure I follow you on that. Can you please elaborate? El Greco(talk) 00:52, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I didn't know how to revert the edits of Moose Sheriff.Our edits gave a strange result (I redirected Paris, Europe to Paris then you moved Paris,Europe to Paris, so it made a loop !). Though the talk page is not fixed yet, and I prefer not to touch it. It's ok, Slakr has finished the job.Cenarium (talk) 20:55,21:02 and 21:32 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Ermm.. I think something went wrong. Take a peak at the revision history of Paris, Northeast Texas. I think you might have accidentally hidden its page history, as it looks like the *Texas revisions might be stuck in limbo. --slakr\ talk / 21:35, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
