Hello, I'm writing in response to a page of mine you deleted under the username "milwaukeehome." I was unable to appeal under that username, so I have to use my personal one. Apparently it was deleted due to spamming and advertising, but I'm really confused as to how it was perceived that way and what, exactly, I did wrong. I tried to model it after other magazine wikis, and I also had no idea you couldn't use the name of the magazine as your username. I never intended to spam or promote a company, and would have been more than happy to change anything that was a problem. I also think blocking me from even talking to an administrator was a bit harsh. Sorry for the trouble, and I would really appreciate a response. Safety math (talk) 19:28, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I know practically nothing about images, Commons, permissions etc. The Commons page for the (now) top photo at Silver Lake says: Additionally, there may be errors in any or all of the information fields; information on this image should not be considered reliable and the image should not be used until it has been reviewed and any needed corrections have been made.

The "wide image" formatting resulted in the Los Angeles oimage getting stretched vertically, making the mountains and buildings appears much taller than they should. Anyway, now that the mountains are their normal height again, I think it is the Santa Anas on the left (as we'd originally said-someone changed it to Santa Monicas, which couldn't be true, and then I changed to the San Gabriels, on account of height). ·:· Will Beback ·:· 17:57, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Brian Schmitz, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of thespeedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Thanks for your assistance with User talk:Abd/IP. Because there has been so much vandalism of my Talk, and a lot of people watch it, it's been semiprotected, so I set up that user talk page so IP and new editors can make comments or ask questions for me to see, which sometimes can be useful, and I transfer them to regular Talk. The current IP editor has abused it, but edits to that page can be reverted without harm, and will be deleted routinely anyway. I left that little discussion open a little, on the perhaps vain hope that he'd look at his own behavior, since it was so clear. I've now removed all of it.--Abd (talk) 13:55, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi Mfield. IMO albino alligator was much better off next to the text, which describes how albino alligators come about. This text is in the description section of the article.I agree albino is very, very rare, but the article has quite a few images of "normal" alligators, and IMO albino alligator should have been somehere in the middle, and not in the very end.

Can you explain why the very first webcast from the Hollywood Bowl has no place in the article about the Hollywood Bowl? If the entry was promotional than perhaps the same can be said about the films made at the Hollywood Bowl? I am always careful and consider such things before I make an edit and I feel this one has merit or I wouldn't have re-entered it. I really would like to understand the difference. Quite often when such questions are asked the editor just does not reply. I hope this is not the case here.

I do not agree at all with the removing of the link on this article. I see nothing out of line with that site. It has valuable information that can't be added to wikipedia for copyright reasons. It does not exist primarily to sell a product. The mere fact that a site sells something doesn't exclude it from being linked. Not to be a smart-ass but if that were the case then we couldn't link to microsoft.com for example. Aar☢n BruceTalk/Contribs 06:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Hey Mfield, After the discussions we had about Ammar on his talk page, I think it was unfair of you to nominate his article for deletion and not notify me about it. IMO, it was a biased deletion since most of you had no idea what you were deleting. Muhammad(talk) 07:04, 29 November 2008 (UTC)
Hi Mfield,
Thanks very much for the edit - I really appreciate it. I usually play with the curves and levels myself, but would appreciate a step-by-step description of exactly what you did in this case. What sort of level adjustment, in which direction you adjusted the colour balance, etc... Many thanks! - Gobeirne (talk) 22:04, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Here's what I can recall doing... (This is all with Photoshop CS3). Levels - dragged the black point to the right until it it was about half way along the flat line on the left of the histogram (to about 50) and the midtone point to around 0.85. Then a color balance adjustment. In shadows and midtones (but especially shadows) I dropped blue towards yellow and pushed cyan towards red. Then performed gentle noise reduction with NoiseNinja with no sharpening. I finally sharpened with unsharp mask (Amount 114%, Radius 1.7, Threshold 2). Mfield (talk) 03:13, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).
I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Wikipedia articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.
If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!
If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.
Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:47, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi, I made a change and added a reference on the Anna's Hummingbird article. The reference was to a non-commercial page on my semi-commercial website which provides information on wintering hummingbirds. (http://www.wildbirdshop.com/Birding/Annas_hummers.html) You changed it to what you claimed is a more reliable link at the Portland Audubon website. If you were to go look at the two links I think you would realize your mistake. My Anna's hummingbird page is very useful and informative, while the Audubon website has one brief mention of wintering Anna's hummingbirds buried on that page of generic information. When you cite a reference, you are usually citing an authority. If you have worked within a volunteer organization such as an Audubon chapter you will realize that these chapter websites are put together by whoever is willing to do it. They may or may not be well researched or accurate, but you certainly cannot cite them as an authority. My Anna's hummingbird page was written after considerable research and real personal experience, and has been continually edited over a 13 year period. I have gradually become a non-scientific authority on Anna's hummingbirds. My web page is one of the most frequently consulted sources on the web for information on wintering Anna's hummingbirds and I generally type my fingers raw giving advice to people by email when a cold snap hits the Pacific Northwest. I get lots of real feedback from people on what works for them, how their birds are surviving, etc. We no longer operate the Wild Bird Shop as a store and I mostly keep the website around just because the hummingbird info is so widely read. If it isn't obvious by now, my concern is for the birds, not for making a buck. (You don't make money selling a hummingbird feeder here and there. They don't even pay for the website.) I try to provide the absolute best information available on them and on how to help them survive the winter. I fail to understand how that can be less authoritative than the pathetic page on the Portland Audubon site which you provided. (I might add that Portland Audubon also sells hummingbird feeders.) Anyway, I would like you to consider putting that link to my Anna's hummingbird page back onto the Anna's Hummingbird article. It will make the article more useful for people who are looking for real information. Thanks, Brian M. Godfrey FatBear1(talk) 00:05, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
Fully understand your concerns. His "sports field" is such a narrow niche that his notability is difficult to source outside that niche. However, I was able to add 2 WP:RS that cover him...

I had no idea you had just fought a long drawn-out battle over basically the very same issues, in the last few days. My apologies for stepping on your toes if that is how you perceive it. I just encountered the pic while I was surfing over fromCN Tower and I loved that pic. I understand completely what you mean that atmospheric distortion will make unclarity in a high resolution long range shot like that. Is that what people mean by artefacts? or is that something else. I know in general it means a distorted pixel, but I don't know how they use the term on FP. I will be posted more on the talk page, but I just wanted to let you know I like that mast pic of yours, and in its simplicity I think has a bit of stark beauty my nomination lacks. The main reason I did the nom. for ostankino was because of all the microwave dishes and catwalks hanging all over the place. Sort of the opposite from your reasons for the TV mast lol.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi, could you take a look at the history of Fourth dimension? There are two similar vandalisms by similarly named accounts ("123456789gary" and "123456789riita"). A search on usernames that begin with "123456789..." show that these may be sockpuppet accounts. What is the normal course of action for dealing with this?

Would you like to consider unprotecting the Creativity Movement article so an uninvolved editor can revert to the neutral version and fix up the citations a little? The article cited by title (though an incorrect url: proper linkhere or from another sourcehere) in the second sentence disputed by the CM-sympathetic editor clearly refutes their claim.

Basically, it was myself and two other designers that have designed the UKeSA logo. This is the reason why I am in possession of the high resolution CMYK print version of the logo. I am not an employee of UKeSA. If I was, that would mean I would be on their annual payroll and part of their board, which I am not. I do have an invested interest in UKeSA, but that's because I have an invested interest in eSports in general. I was going to add other eSports governing bodies (such as the International eSports Federation) to the list, but I have not found any substantial sources or information to include in other Wikipedia entries.

I appreciate the suggestion, but what can they do? The person who keeps coming through is using a dynamic IP address, and never comes back with the same one (at least not that I've seen) -- it's a repeated drive-by one-off IP.

I declare myself the copyright holder and holder of intelectual property rights. Sorry for any confusion in the last typing error.
I believe a couple of days ago you protected the user pages of Rockyobody after he retired for the second time in a week. After his pages were protected due to his retirement he made another edit [7]. Also, as you know, it has been suggested by myself and another editor that this user is using a number of sockpuppets and there is an open report located at[8]. Unfortunately both Rockyobody and Eaglesfan619, which is one of the accounts that has ben suggested is him, have been interfering with the investigation including editing the page to remove suspected sockpuppets from the list[9]and repeatedly removing the suspected sockpuppet notice added to the userpages.
There hasn't been any administrator input so far into the report, so I was wondering if you could have a look or advise on what can be done next, surely the suspected sockpuppets shouldn't be able to interfere with the report/investigation like this?

I am just putting this page up and it is already deleted when I have not even had a chance to finish it. I did not want to lose any information in the sandbox because I was afraid I would not get to finish this before it reset itself.
This is a perfectly legitimate entry within the context of the subject matter where it was entered, and I was under the impression I could edit this page continuously and add to it. If I am mistaken, I will correct the error. I very simply got the page started, and then had to stop because my son was sick. I was shocked that bare minutes had gone by and I received a message it was deleted. I at least expect to have a decent chance to be able to complete my task of filling out the page. There was enough information there to start it, and now I move on to rounding it out.

I'm sorry but I think you are being very disingenuous here!

Now it seems a lot of work has been removed from the page, the work that added the very outside resources wiki now says the page does not have. It also was listed very appropriately alongside other Documentaries in the Documentaries and Literature section of the Same Sex Marriage wiki entry. Why was it removed? It has every right to be there, it has external references, it is a legitimate entity. Removing it from that page then removed the link to us and then we're flagged for not having links?! This makes no sense. Why would the pertinent information be removed? And that is a lot of work lost.
This film should absolutely be listed as a resource in the Same Sex Marriage entry. And there is no explanation on my talk page as to why.

Hi Mfield,
Thank you for stepping in on FUZE Meeting and making a neutral assessment of the article and the situation. I really admire your neutrality and appreciate your support. We need more users like you on Wikipedia :)
FabulosWorld (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:10, 1 April 2009 (UTC).
Dear Mfield,
The first part of this text is also on the article discussion board, but I wanted to address it to you also and add a few notes that are more Wikipedia-general concerns.
What's the substance of the dispute? I would be happy to correct it - but I'd have to know it first. Every opinion attributed to Mr. Reich comes from his own words. Every judgment about the propriety of his agency's actions comes from a combination of the most-trusted financial journalists AND his agency's own parent department's findings. Mr. Reich AGREED to the findings himself in a letter to Treasury. Not only that, any fair assessment of FredEthelMertz series of edits finds an editor who is trying out different "spins" on such things as Mr. Reich's resignation - for example, calling that resignation an "early retirment" and then backing off the characterization. Moreover, it is the FredEthelMertz edits that are unsourced, not mine and there has been no specific dispute as to the correctness of any of my sourcing.
In addition, I want to add personally that my obviously intense interest in this has nothing to do with Mr. Reich but with the really positive experience I have had with Wikipedia. For me, this all started with some awkward, newbie comments I made on the IndyMac bank failure. They weren't good enough to remain on the page, but fortunately for me they were removed by agenda-driven editors. That inspired me to do good citizen-journalism. I went to original sources and asked questions. I talked to experts and corresponded with reporters who cover banking at the major financial news outlets, one of whom - a former bank regulator himself - wrote an email admitting that he "should have caught" what I did catch for the benefit of the site. And I admit that I am proud to say that the Wikipedia page on IndyMac bank was, for months, the one place I know of to which interested people could come and find the whole story on why this major institution fell apart and when the key pieces of data came to light -which story has been borne out to an extent I couldn't even imagine.
I have tried hard to react only to mischaracterizations of the IndyMac story on Wikipedia. I have left many mischaracterizations in place because they reflect the popular mind on the subject. But even with the vox pop included, if you compare Wikipedia's record of detailed truth-telling with that of Mr. Reich - the ideological, influential, and failed head regulator charged with *preventing* three of the most-important financial collapses in history - I think you will find a yawning discrepancy that validates the Wikipedia citizen-journalist model.
When this scandalous behavior at OTS was confirmed a number of times, I felt it was finally time to address the record per Mr. Reich. Therefore, I ask you to look at the series of edits this FredEthelMertz put in and judge their intent per the record. And please note that I went out and *sourced* one of FredEthelMertz's unsourced contentions - from the Treasury department's files. This did not turn out to reflect well on Mr. Reich, but it was not really my original intent to pore over Mr. Reich's every word - and all the better for him, I think. I was mainly concerned with his actions and those of his direct reports, as multiply-sourced from the major financial news outlets.
I dislike writing about people. I will bet that Mr. Reich is a perfectly decent person and I'm sure what he's going through now is very painful. But he was at the helm of an institution America - and, as it happened, the world - trusted to prevent on of history's great financial disasters and he didn't just fail, he became almost a champion for failure. Personally, I don't think he did this out of maliciousness, but beliefs that turned out to be mistaken, but my personal opinion is meaningless here. Wikipedia's purpose is to set the record straight. --216.254.24.133 (talk) 19:03, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
"Wikipedia's purpose is to set the record straight", thing is, Wikipedia's purpose is absolutely not to set any records straight. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an investigative journalism medium. In order for Wikipedia's content to remain notable, neutral and verifiable, information must all have been reported by reliable sources. This is a benchmark for the inclusion of facts. As wikipedia is edited by thousands of anonymous editors, none of whos integrity or motives can be accurately guaged, there have to be ways of ensuring that the information presented remains mainstream and verifiable. In order to achieve this, the synthesis of reported facts into unreported conclusions and original research are strictly forbidden. Note that I am not saying that you have been doing these things, I am just re clarifying how the project works and the reasons for it. Editors have to steer clear of drawing their own conclusions from facts and claims and presenting their conclusions, how ever obvious those conclusions may be. The drawing of conclusions has to be left to reliable sources, which can then be reported as part of a balanced article. The consensus process is an important part of what makes this all work as other editors can provide objectivity to decide whether material is notable and relevant enough for inclusion.Mfield (Oi!) 20:56, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Time does not allow discussing issues on a daily basis. A BLP is intended to provide facts and, although an editor may feel their facts are substantiated, by producing only those “facts” that support an opinion, it is no longer truly accurate. If strong opinions exist, a blog or other chat device would be a valid location for those discussions – not a BLP. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FredEthelMertz (talk • contribs) 01:23, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Dear Mfield
I kindly ask you to undelete the article CONFINTEA. Since my colleagues and I edited the original pagehttp://www.unesco.org/en/confinteavi/... ourselves it is not a matter of copyright infringement. We can easily provide the right to use the text.
CONFINTEA is an interntional conference (without commercial background, by the way, if you are suspecting stealth marketing) that might interest people from the whole world who are in contact with the subject of education (students, people who work in politics, NGOs etc.). We are sure that Wikipedia users search for information about this conference - at least they might want to when the conference has started in May. Our purpose is to create a basis of information that can be edited by any user. You will be aware that the first step is always the hardest in creating an article. In addition, we are directly at the source of information as we are organizing this conference.
I hope you understand that it is not easy to write several different texts about one topic without interference. The article in question was adjusted to the purpose of Wikipedia. So we would deeply appreciate you to undelete the article at least partly.

I noticed you changed the protection level on the Billy Bob Thorton CBC interview controversy. I felt the story was way too long (1/2 the size of his career) and I created a shorter version. Could you please answer 2 questions? 1. When I previewed the links instead of appearing as [11][12], etc they appear as [1][2]. Is that normal and if I saved the changes they would correctly appear as [11][12]? 2. I've never made a change this big to an article. I've cut it down to under 200 words. Should I just post it, or could you give me your opinion on it? All the appropriate linking is in the one I'd post. Even now, it seems too long. Thanks, Doug. BashBrannigan (talk)
Here it is:
On April 8, 2009 Thorton and his musical group The Boxmasters appeared on the CBC Radio One program Q, hosted by Jian Ghomeshi. Thorton began the interview sounding nervous and confused, replying "I don't know" when asked how long the band had been together and expounding at length on "Famous Monsters of Filmland" magazine in response to his musical influences as a child. Other members of the band answered Ghomeshi’s questions without incident. Mid-interview Thorton clarified he had "instructed" the show's producers to not ask any questions about his career as a screenwriter and actor.[1][2]Ghomeshi had mentioned Thorton’s acting credentials in the introduction. Thorton also complained Canadians were too reserved, like “mashed potatoes without the gravy”.[3] The interview received attention and criticism around the world.[4][5] The following night, Thornton's band opened for Willie Nelson at Toronto's Massey Hall. When Thornton explained mid-set he liked Canadians but not the popular CBC radio host, boos and catcalls erupted.[6] Local reviews of Thornton's Toronto performance had not been positive.[7][8][9] On April 10, Thornton announced The Boxmasters would not be playing with Nelson during concerts scheduled in Canada due to members of the crew and band having the flu.[10]

Because these edits aren't outright vandalism, I haven't put any warning templates on User talk:Buggadugga yet. User:Ndish may be a sockpuppet or a borderline meatpuppet, along with other users Buggadugga has edited talk pages of. What is the normal course of action for these cases? Thanks.—Tetracube (talk) 21:18, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
