Do we need to have some arbitration?

You were the only one to object to my edits. You said to take it to the talk page. I have done so. You have not responded there. I also note that you have reverted other edits. So you know, simple reverting without discussion is considered disruptive. With unexplained reverts, it appears that you are going contrary to WP:OWN.

If you request a discussion, then you should discuss. If you do not discuss, there can be no discussion.

I feel that you have been aggressive and unfair. Do we need to go to an arbitration or RfC? --Blue Tie 14:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I'm asking that you please be civil and assume good faith, and not jump straight to arbitration when someone disagrees with you. I replied to your comment as soon as I could. Unfortunately, I do not have the luxury of time to visit Wikipedia every day. Regarding the issue at hand, discussing changes to the Lost template is something that is always done regardless of the size of the change. If you take a look through the history there's discussion about just about every change, big and small. You should have discussed adding Lostpedia before adding it, per the status quo. Jtrost (^T | C | _#) 23:58, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK. If you point to an example of incivility I would like to apologize for it.

Although you do not have the luxury of time to visit wikipedia every day, you had sufficient time to revert my edit within minutes and without an appropriate comment. A comment to describe why there is an objection is appropriate, not just reverts. Incidentally, contrary to your assertion of seeking discussion first, the idea on wikipedia is not to discuss first and then edit but rather to edit first and then discuss if there is a problem. If you are interested in learning about that as the wikipedia method, I can direct you to a number of comments in policy, guidelines and essays.

And that was the approach I originally took... in good faith. I specifically requested an explanation, you simply reverted and told ME to take it to the talk page... you never gave one word there to explain the problem. So, while I did originally exercise good faith, I did not see it in return, but rather a somewhat aggressive and confrontational stance.

I used the word "arbitration" loosely to include RfC or Mediation. I have the feeling that you have taken some sort of special ownership and, even in the paragraph above, you are apparently applying and enforcing your own set of rules to that page, contrary to wikipedia policy and guidelines. I am perfectly willing to exercise good faith if you have not done that, but your actions so far, have been in that direction. If that is the case, (and you would know best how you feel about things) we should not take a great deal of time fiddling with a discussion that will not go anywhere -- just bring in other commentators right away. Do you disagree or do you think a discussion will lead to a resolution without that? Test your own mind and feel out whether you feel inclined to compromise or not -- you are the only person who has objected.

On that note, I have replied to your reason on the talk page. You reason seems to be unsubstantiated, given that the area of the nav box is "Miscellaneous" and the link was to a wikipedia article. --Blue Tie 00:14, 10 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned fair use image (Image:LostDVD2.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:LostDVD2.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

New WikiProject Illinois Collaboration Division

Hey, saw you were a participant in the Illinois WikiProject. I thought I would let you know that there is a new Collaboration Division up for the project. The goal of the division is to select an article or articles for improvement to Good article standard or higher. There is a simple nomination process, which you can check out on the division subpage, to make sure each candidate for collaboration has enough interested editors. This is a good way to get a lot of articles to a quality status quickly. Please consider participating. More details can be seen at the division subpage. IvoShandor 11:25, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non-free use disputed for Image:Nylf.gif

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:Nylf.gif. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read carefully the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content and then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure 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 05:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fairbury, IL

You were kind enough to provide the source for your large edit to the article on Fairbury. Do you feel confident that your edit is indeed your own writing, and would not be regarded as plagarism by anyone else reading that book? If you feel your writing is original, then I have no intent of further challenging the matter. I merely want to make sure that we are all on the up-and-up.

Edit to Lost (season 4)

Welcome back? -- Wikipedical (talk) 03:11, 20 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Futurama

It look like you didn't listen to me ether. That was a true fact that I put down and you reverted it. There was five seasons in the US because it was on the 7:00 P.M. slot and did not always show it for most of the first run. The UK and other countries had four seasons because it had better ratings in those places and showed it most of the time. The episode page goes by the volume DVD sets. Please put back my edit. Thank you.--Stco23 (talk) 04:00, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only reason I put the five seasons is so people would not be confused with the UK season run since the US run was showin in five seasons.--Stco23 (talk) 04:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Celebreality

An editor has nominated Celebreality, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Celebreality and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 04:44, 4 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
