Your ArbCom case[edit]
Can I please remind you to make sure that you post your comments in your own section so that we don't have to move them? Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 08:06, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Not to be too argumentative, but if I don't post them inline with their preceding comment, others will probably not see them or else will fail to link them to the preceding comment. By posting inline, I allow the preceding party to see my response, and allow the associated custodians to move the comment soon afterward. -Stevertigo (t | log | c) 22:49, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

This arbitration case has been closed and the final decision is available at the link above. The following is a summary of the remedies enacted:
- Stevertigo (talk · contribs) is banned from Wikipedia for one year. If Stevertigo wishes to return to editing Wikipedia, he must first work with the Arbitration Committee to an establish a set of probation criteria. He may do this no earlier than six months after the closure of the case, and no more than every six months thereafter.
- Stevertigo is required to cite a published source for any material he adds to an article. Should he fail to do so, any editor may remove the material without prejudice. Should he cite a source that is subsequently determined not to support the material added, he may be blocked for a period of up to one week for each infraction.
On behalf of the Arbitration Committee,

Fair use rationale for File:Donny.svg[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:Donny.svg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the file description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Template:Di-no fair use rationale-notice, Sfan00 IMG (talk) 13:32, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

With regard to my (old) userpage, I don't want to deprive certain editors the satisfaction of having a "gotcha" notice on it - that's largely what it represents to them, I think. So, the ban notice appears to be part of the show. But it doesn't tell the whole story, does it? I appreciate the fact that some editors understand that a little dignity still has a place at Wikipedia. I don't have twice as many edits as most of my average critics because I was a threat to the project. Anyway, I've never been one to post a service award, but that seems to do the trick here on the talk page and should probably work well for the user page too. At least the combined picture is more complete than what a simplistic "gotcha" notice alone shows. Thanks to all concerned. -Stevertigo 04:08, 27 October 2010 (UTC)
- Your one-year ban has expired and you are no longer blocked, so I have removed the templates from your user and user talk page. The award can stay, of course, but I hope you don't mind me moving it to the right. :-) In case you come back, please note that the ArbCom doesn't want you to resume editing just yet, see remedy #2.

File source problem with File:Nolan-based political spectrum.png[edit]
Thank you for uploading File:Nolan-based political spectrum.png. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.
If you have uploaded other files, consider verifying that you have specified sources for those files as well. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Unsourced and untagged images may be deleted one week after they have been tagged per Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, F4. If the image is copyrighted and non-free, the image will be deleted 48 hours after 06:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC) per speedy deletion criterion F7. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Kelly hi! 06:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

We'll meet up at a park in SF -- hopefully in the sun -- all other details are still in deliberation!
If this sounds fun, please add your name to the list: Wikipedia:Meetup/San Francisco/Wiknic and add that page to your watchlist. (And of course, feel free to edit that page with your ideas, questions, etc.) I look forward to wiknicking with you! -Pete (talk) 00:47, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Non-free rationale for File:MirrorUK Bush AlJazeera plot.jpg[edit]
Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:MirrorUK Bush AlJazeera plot.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' 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 "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Deroyalise[edit]
A tag has been placed on Template:Deroyalise requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Bulwersator (talk) 07:49, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

"Critics consider..."[edit]
Hi, Stevertigo. I'm hoping you can clear something up for me. Way back in 2005, you introduced content into the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth article that said: critics consider the group an example of a successful political smear campaign. (Please see your edits here and here.) I believe the content you introduced is valid, but I have recently improved that text based on existing reliable sources. I've removed the specific "critics consider" phrase, so that the text now reads: The group's tactics are considered an example of a successful political smear campaign. The "critics" designation has been removed because reliable sources indicate that not just critics consider it a smear campaign, but so do impartial journalists, academics and scholars, non-partisan fact checkers and investigators that don't have political motivations or biases.
Now I'm being told by another editor that you proposed the "Critics consider" wording in a consensus discussion, and that my changing of that wording is going against that consensus - and he reverted my edit. (See the other editor's comment about your wording here.) I've searched the Talk archives unsuccessfully for discussion of the "Critics consider" wording, and I was hoping you could point me to where you proposed those two words for discussion. I can't get this other editor to provide a specific diff. Thanks in advance, Xenophrenic (talk) 23:46, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
- ("Let's keep two-way conversations readable" - Nice.) Xeno, its been almost 7 years, so I can't recall there being much in the way of discussion on that point, maybe just a brief joust with another editor or something the like. I do recall using the "critics consider" language out of a kind of diplomacy - anticipating problems with all other general ways of writing it. So using your wording as a base, it would look like "The group's tactics are considered [by critics as] an example of a successful political smear campaign." This kind of language only makes sense as this view at the time was a rather partisan one, and "critics" nominally identifies who thinks such and why - "critics" serves to both differentiate and identify sufficiently. Now the partisan divide may have smeared out a bit in the years since - Republicans/conservatives may concede that the Swift boat campaign was indeed a smear campaign, and may themselves even use the term "Swiftboating" for their own uses. I haven't seen this myself, but its possible - what I have seen is rather widespread journalistic usage of the term "Swiftboating." This doesn't mean we can disqualify the usage of "critics" in this article - we should probably preserve it as a nominal identifier, and in any case as a way to preserve the historically accurate distinction noted above. I'm all for adding depth with regard to additional sources, etc., but we have to consider things from the historical point of view too. Regards, -Stevertigo (t | c) 22:12, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Article rework[edit]
Thank you for paying attention to it. I would also mention this and this as things to think about. But in any case, I will leave it in your hands. Thanks. History2007 (talk) 04:52, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

You restored my removal of the PET scan image, I've started a discussion here (per BRD), Talk:Soul#PET_scan, cheers, IRWolfie- (talk) 09:31, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

- In view of your recent posting on the Talk:The Godfather, I thought you would like to see that I have taken action – on all three articles, and copied the full current strand to all three Discussion pages.
- Please click on my name in the blue box to take you directly to the relevant part of a much too long Talk page!

Replacing a redirect with a subst template is decidedly odd, as is creating a [[WP:FORK]] WP:CONTENTFORK of an article in the middle of a WP:RM to the very title you created the fork at. I have reverted, I think you should reconsider this sort of thing. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 04:14, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
- You should at least have waited for the WP:RM to run its course, I can see you've been around Wikipedia long enough to realize that was unconventional. My first inclination was to just take it to WP:ANI and then wash my hands of it. I think those edits were unwise. — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 04:27, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
- In reply to your message at on my talk page, it's not just POV forks that are listed as "unacceptable types of forking" at WP:CONTENTFORK, but also "redundant content forks". — P.T. Aufrette (talk) 04:33, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
BRD[edit]
I noticed you reverting an editors changes without giving a notice but instead mentioning BRD, note this from WP:BRD: Don't invoke BRD as your reason for reverting someone else's work, also note: The talk page is open to all editors, not just bold ones. The first person to start a discussion is the person who is best following BRD. IRWolfie- (talk) 23:10, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
- I notice that jess has already specifically told you this exact same thing: Talk:Criticism_of_atheism#Recent_reverts. IRWolfie- (talk) 23:49, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
comments on hatnotes[edit]
Hi - would welcome your further thoughts on a compromise proposal now evolving here: Wikipedia_talk:Hatnote#New_proposal. Thanks! --KarlB (talk) 21:21, 10 June 2012 (UTC)
Re: Go[edit]
Hello. You have a new message at Coastside's talk page.
Your perspective would be valuable: Anti Christian Sentiment (Israel)[edit]
Hi there. I've noticed your collaborative work on the Christianity article and was impressed by your spirit of cooperation, sensibility and knowledge of the subject. I'm currently trying to resolve issues on another article: Anti-Christian sentiment particularly pertaining to incidents in Israel. I have opened a RfC and outlined the problem here. I would be grateful to have your input should you feel so inclined and think it worth your time. Regards, Veritycheck (talk) 21:53, 13 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input. If you have any recommendations regarding the language you think most accurate to describe the spitting attacks, it would be valuable to help us achieve a consensus. Veritycheck (talk) 12:01, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
- I have summarized the consensus and edited the article Anti-Christian Sentiment accordingly. Please see that it meets your approval. Veritycheck (talk) 20:56, 23 June 2012 (UTC)
Disease[edit]
"Human Condition" is a song by Slayer, and it is covered by Wikipedia. Please stop deleting navigational function from Disease even if you feel disdain for pop culture coverage. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:12, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Ah, I've caught up to the note on WP:HATNOTE. I'll update the Human Disease redirect as well and re-shorten the hatnote. -- JHunterJ (talk) 11:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Changes from WP:PRIME to WP:PTOPIC[edit]
I notice that you are changing links to WP:PRIME so that they point to WP:PTOPIC instead. Can you please explain why? Those two links resolve to the same place, and in at least one instance that I noticed, you changed someone else's comments on a Talk page in a section identified as "Please do not modify". —BarrelProof (talk) 22:06, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for the explanation (on my Talk page). That looks pretty bold to me. (That's not a complaint.) —BarrelProof (talk) 22:57, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
Must it be an essay or a guideline? It looks good to be an essay, especially with Wales's philosophy. --George Ho (talk) 03:26, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
Luka Magnotta[edit]
Hello, I am curious to know why you are attempting to circumvent the do not move consensus by submitting the article for another AfD. Taroaldo (talk) 03:54, 17 June 2012 (UTC)

Deletionism[edit]
I've noticed a few times you referring to editors pejoratively as deletionists in two separate instances (the criticism of atheism article and the Ethereal Beings AfD). Can you please stop doing that. Thanks, IRWolfie- (talk) 09:37, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
