- Got your alt account for you, and indeffed this one. Cheers. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:08, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Please reconsider. The block is not a reason to leave WP and you do an incredible amount of good work here. MBisanz talk 01:50, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- I did considered this since one month and I came to the conclusion, that it is more stressful than it's worth. Therefore I retire. I don't say I will never return, but I don't see it currently. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 01:55, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- You know I really do agree with MBisanz that you do good work on Wikipedia, regardless of the events from earlier today, and I think the project would be worse off without you around. It would make me feel like I had done a disservice to the project if I'm the one causing you to retire, and if that is the case you have my sincerest apologies. If there's anything that I can do that would make you more inclined to stay just say so and I'd be more than willing to consider it. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 02:10, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- My first reaction after getting the notice the edit-war was reported, was to change my status to offline, because I knew that I could be block in any minute. There was no doubt that I will be blocked. The block is completely justified. Yeah it was good there, but it looks I can't change. Four blocks for edit-warring in the last two and I think, only a matter of time before I reach the indefinite block anyway. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 02:23, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Please take some time to think this through. Wikipedia is important to you; you can make valuable contributions for many years to come. Please think about it -- Dianna (talk) 02:36, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- There is nothing to think about. I decided to retire. Partly due to off-wiki circumstances. I'm just a 27 year old unemployed virgin, who has never had a girlfriend, because I spend too much of my time before the computer. I'm volunteering to a snooker results website since July 2011 as "ScoreKeeper Admin" and I like it better as it consumes lesser from my time. And this is the bottom line, 'cause Armbrust said so. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 02:53, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- All the best to you. Hang in there. Hope you come back after some time away. You are needed here. Edison (talk) 03:25, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Good luck in your future endeavours. Please keep the door open here, and consider joining us now and then. Best wishes, -- Dianna (talk) 03:27, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

- That's kinda awesome, actually, and I totally think you are doing the right thing. RL is far more important than on-line stuff, Wikipedia included. Best wishes in whatever you get up to from here on in. Have fun and enjoy life :) - Alison ❤ 19:41, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Best wishes
Obviously things got out of control last night, Armbrust, which is a shame. The snooker season is almost over so I think you should take a break, and if you decide to return next season then we'd love to have you back. I've always considered you an exceptional editor and you will be a loss to the Snooker Project, but ultimately you have to do what is right for you. If we don't see you again then I wish you the best for the future, and whatever endeavour you turn to will benefit greatly from your participation. Betty Logan (talk) 14:40, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
- Good luck to you -Armbrust - Youreallycan 18:36, 26 April 2012 (UTC)

Another fantastic editor gone
Just when I was starting to come to accept the loss of Fastily, another stalwart of the file namespace leaves. This is way past depressing. I won't join the chorus of people asking you to come back, that's your choice and yours alone, but you'll be missed. Sven Manguard Wha? 05:34, 27 April 2012 (UTC)
Retired banner for your alt account
I think you should consider adding the retired banner to the user page of your alternate account user:Armbrust public, if you're not going to use it. 70.49.124.225 (talk) 04:40, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I can't. I'm blocked. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talkabout my edits? 08:37, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
- I've sorted that for you Armbrust. Take care. Betty Logan (talk) 09:59, 28 April 2012 (UTC)
I'm leaving too Armbrust
I haven't got the energy to go into it but if you want to know the details see Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard#Admin refusing to participate in dispute resolution. I want you to know something: You are the best editor I have ever come across in my entire time here, I mean you were the snooker project. Wikipedia was lucky to have you and stupid to lose you. Some people said some horrible things to you on the world championship article and they shouldn't have done, they were really unfair to you. Just look at how everyone on your page admires and respects you. For whatever reason you picked the snooker project and your articles were dazzling works of art, there simply wasn't a better snooker resource out there. Unfortunately there are people on here who have different motives, they enjoy the mind games and the control and I now fully understand why Wikipedia is not the place for a man like you.

Hi Armbrust, thanx for correcting my mistake. I thought it was a mistake because of lack of references. I am working on the german translation, so i got 2 new references. Thanx for that too. --LezFraniak (talk) 23:44, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
World champs articles
Hey Armbrust. (a) glad to see you back and (b) think between us we've done a nice job on making some decent edits to the World champs articles. Thanks for seeing my perspective and for following up with many excellent edits of your own.

Ariana Grande Debut Single Put Your Hearts Up
Dear Armbrust, my name is Rlg000raz. I have been in the middle of creating a wiki page for Ariana Grande's debut single "Put Your Hearts Up". I have gathered 2 references, one of which was the songs charting position. I ask that you approve of this because every single that has charted somewhere needs a page, no matter how high or how low the charting position is. I'm not sure if this will help, but if would like to see the page go to Rlg000raz's sandbox where it is at. This would be my first Wiki page that I am trying to create. It is a work in progress, but to me it's a great start. It's a great page for a great single for a great person. Thank you for your time. Sincerely, Rlg000raz — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlg000raz (talk • contribs) 14:32, 12 May 2012
- I have to say, that one reliable source isn't enough to create an article about a single. Per WP:NOYT Youtube isn't a reliable source. The relevant guideline for singles is WP:NALBUMS, which say, that "a single is an officially released recording by a notable musician or ensemble is not by itself reason for a standalone article", and that a "single requires its own notability", also there needs to multiple third party reliable sources which discuss the topic in order for the single to satisfy the general notability guideline.

Can you draft up a revision for your Archive 10?
Hello Armbrust. At RFPP you asked that somebody fix up links to archived discussion in your fully protected Archive 10. I am likely to make mistakes doing that. Could you draft up a revision of your Archive 10, for example in User:Armbrust/Sandbox? Then I could swap that in under full protection and the page history would be intact. As an alternative, you might consider asking for the full protection to be lifted. Since that material is no longer on your current talk page it seems unlikely to me that anyone would think of editing there. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 15:18, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- Done at User:Armbrust/Sandbox. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 15:24, 12 May 2012 (UTC)
- There was a problem in User:Armbrust/Sandbox. In your Sandbox version, did you see all the red print that says 'Expansion depth limit exceeded'? I tried to fix it by removing {{atn}}, but then I replaced your Archive 10 and I put the {{atn}} back, and it seems to work. EdJohnston (talk) 03:27, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks. I think the problem was because the User:Armbrust/Sandbox doesn't have a number at the end of the pages title. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 11:01, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Armbrust, wie wäre es mit einer Weiterleitung von deiner deutschen Seite hierher. Ist sonst eine Sachgasse und sieht so leer aus. Danke noch für deine Korrekturen meiner letzten beiden Artikel. Da warst du echt schnell. ;-) Gruß --LezFraniak (talk) 00:09, 16 May 2012 (UTC)

Dear Armbrust, my name is Rlg000raz. I ask that you make a full Wiki page for "Put Your Hearts Up". No direct links, a full page. There are singles that have no charting positions either, but they still have Wiki pages. Whatever "Put Your Hearts Up" is missing on its Wiki page, I ask you add it. I don't know how to vote on Wikipedia, but I my vote goes for keeping the "Put Your Hearts Up" page. Ariana Grande is well known around the world and deserves to have a page for her debut single. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rlg000raz (talk • contribs) 20:13, 16 May 2012
- You can !vote here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Put Your Hearts Up (2nd nomination). Before you do this, however, you should read How to contribute to an AfD and Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. You should also know, that notability isn't inheritable, and just because the artist is notable, doesn't mean every single xe releases is notable. Armbrust, B.Ed.

File:StarWarsMoviePoster1977.jpg - Tom Jung article
Hello Armbrust, It looks like the work you did to update the file StarWarsMoviePoster1977.jpg also deleted the file from the Tom Jung article - The file update is great/was long overdue - Could you replace the file in the Tom Jung article? Thanks, Jobrjobr —Preceding undated comment added 23:31, 20 May 2012.
- The file was removed from the article, because the description page of the image doesn't contain a non-free rationale. But according to the Non-free content criteria "a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item" is needed. If you can add a non-free rationale to the file description page, than feel free to add the image back. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 23:44, 20 May 2012 (UTC)
- Armbrust there was a fair use rationale/no issues with the image in the Tom Jung article until the new file was uploaded for the Star Wars Episode IV article - I guess a fair use rationale needed to also be created for the Tom Jung article when the file was uploaded - I see now that you were not the one to upload the new version - Should the editor that uploaded the file be the one to create the fair use rationale for the Tom Jung article? Jobrjobr —Preceding undated comment added 01:42, 21 May 2012.
- The file only had a rationale, because the original rationale on the description page for Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was incorrectly modified by you. The {{Non-free use rationale poster}} template only supports one article parameter and thus after the modification, the file didn't have a rationale to be used for the film article. This is also the case for File:Papillon ver1.jpg (uploaded to be used on the Papillon (film) article and incorrectly modified by you) and File:School for Scoundrels.gif (uploaded to be used on the School for Scoundrels (1960 film) article and incorrectly modified by you), because the {{Non-free use rationale}} template has also only one article parameter. I have removed the incorrectly added redundant parameters and removed the pictures from the article. Of course you can try to add valid non-free rationales to the description pages, but I think these can't be done in accordance to the non-free content criteria and I probably take the images to non-free content review.

- You have to write one to the description page of the image. For how you should do these read Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. Of course if the rationale does not satisfy the non-free content criteria, than the use of the image will undergo a non-free content review, where the decision could be made to remove the image from the article.

- Armbrust there was a fair use rationale/no issues with the image in the Tom Jung article until the new file was uploaded for the Star Wars Episode IV article - I guess a fair use rationale needed to also be created for the Tom Jung article when the file was uploaded - I see now that you were not the one to upload the new version - Should the editor that uploaded the file be the one to create the fair use rationale for the Tom Jung article?

Tom Jung article
Armbrust not sure why you removed files from the Tom Jung article and then have three additional files tagged for deletion. These images were referenced in the article - This person is a film poster artist and the images are relevant to his history - He has over 200 credits and these images provide continuity/tell the story of how his talent/career developed. His "Gone With The Wind" art does not belong/increase the readers understanding of this artist? Jobrjobr — Preceding undated comment added 01:57, 21 May 2012
- For the removed images see previous section. At the nomination of the files I bring the following two arguments:
- "the presence of the image does not significantly increase readers' understanding of the topic, and its omission would not be detrimental to that understanding" - Two of the pictures are beside a selective list of his illustrations and graphic design, which should be enough to convey, that the subject of the article is a film poster artist and there is non need for non-free images to illustrate this. The third image is in the lead, but has no purpose there.
- "article also lacks any sourced critical commentary about the image" - Non of the the picture has any sourced critical commentary about them in the article, and thus they only function as illustrations. I don't question, that the posters were created by Tom Jung, but without sourced critical commentary they shouldn't be used on the article.
- Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 09:25, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- -The subject of the article is Tom Jung - A visual artist.
- The iconic Raiders key art image helps to define for the reader the career of the artist - Specifically his involvement in many of the largest box office films created during his career - The image is referenced twice in the article. The images related to the select illustrations and graphic designs chart provide continuity by showing the development of the visual artist - Reading left to right, from early in his career using caricatures, to working as an art director and hiring illustrators to finalize his concepts/designs to working as a freelance artist creating concepts, designs and illustrations of films like Lord of the Rings. These images are all referenced in the article.
- All of these images significantly increase the readers understanding of the subject - Tom Jung. These images were created by a visual artist/Tom Jung/the subject of the article - These are not images that need to be tied to the subject through commentary - The connection should be/is obvious to readers - Additional commentary would be redundant and just add unnecessary volume to what I believe is a fairly concise article. Note that these images are sourced from online sites as well as The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Library. Jobrjobr —Preceding undated comment added 00:21, 22 May 2012.
- I think the images are unnecessary as they have no contextual significance on this article. Seeing the posters doesn't enhance the reader understanding to the topic, as the article already contains to pictures. BTW this discussion with me has no effect on the files for deletion discussion. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 10:57, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

This is a screnshot fully created by me on my computer. I think it's fair use. Please guide me in this matter.--Napsync (talk) 09:03, 21 May 2012 (UTC)
- Yes the image is fair use, but that also means it "is allowed only in articles (not disambiguation pages), and only in article namespace" according to the ninth non-free content criteria. Thus you can't place any non-free content on any other page (including you user page). Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 09:37, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Help wanted
Hi Armbrust, I am writing with reference to your request to reduce the size of the logo I've added onto an article. Please give me some time because I am still an un-confirmed user here, as I am new here! Perhaps, you could give me a bit of guidance here or do me a little favor by reducing the size of the logo and update the article with the logo in the correct size? Thank you very much and nice to meet you here. Sachreeko (talk) 10:27, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- There is nothing wrong with the use of the image on the article. Every non-free image should have lesser than 160,000 pixels, which means that File:ARCTIC (computer cooling) logo.png with a 1,340×666 resolution has to be reduced to a 549×273 resolution image. Which I have just Done. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 10:44, 22 May 2012 (UTC)
- Hi Armbrust, thank you so much for your help. Now I know the problem is the size of the original logo, however, the logo was not originally uploaded by myself, I thought there's no way I can adjust the size of it, or can I? Besides, would you know when I can become a confirmed user? Thanks again! Sachreeko (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 11:02, 22 May 2012.
- I have uploaded the logo after a request at Files for upload. You can only upload images if you became autoconfirmed, also your account is four days old and made ten edits. Currently your account will become autoconfirmed after 08:39, 25 May 2012. If you can't wait, than you can request to become a confirmed user at Wikipedia:Requests for permissions/Confirmed. There you have to give a reason, why you request confirmed rights. (Before requesting, however, I would strongly recommend to read Wikipedia:Copyrights and Wikipedia:Image use policy.)

Helping Hand for Wikipedia:Files for upload
Hello Armbrust, i see you are one of the most active and well experienced users working on the Wikipedia:Files for upload. I know the basic policies, guidelines and procedures for working with files and i thought that i could give a helping hand and work on this area as this will reduce the burden :). I already have the file mover user right and have renamed many files and quite experienced in that. As it will just be a beginning for me to work i would like to have coordination, collaboration and support with you and everyone else working at WP:FFU so that everything runs smoothly. Regards. TheGeneralUser (talk) 09:32, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
- Good to hear, although the workload nowadays isn't quite a burden (like in March 2011). The best way to follow is to upload as many images as possible. I mean for if for example a user requests that a logo uploaded under CC-BY-3.0 or a crest under public domain, but the license in the request is clearly invalid, than you should consider uploading the image as a non-free file (for example as a non-free logo or as a non-free symbol). Also please if you upload a file, which was requested at WP:FFU, than add {{subst:WPAFCF}} to the talk page of the file. Regards, Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 10:02, 26 May 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I think you may have misunderstood this discussion which you moved to "Opposed nominations at full discussion" at Speedy CFD. See To others: Don't treat this as an objection to the RfSD. This is me asking FL their opinion : ) - jc37 12:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC) It seems to me that the nominated category renaming was not opposed.

2 Fragen
Hallo Armbrust, beim Artikel 1951 World Snooker Championship hast du den Abschnitt "Notes" wieder eingefügt. Zum einen finde ich ihn zu weit unten, man muss runterscrollen um zu finden was gemeint ist und zum anderen hatte ich es, so wie ich es vorher gelöst hatte, schon bei einem anderen Artikel gesehen. Wenn der Artikel länger ist wird's ziemlich unübersichtlich. Meine zweite Frage bezieht sich auf den Artikel Maximum_break dort hast du mehrfach {{0}} eingefügt. Habe dass auch schonmal in der deutschen WP gesehen. Weiß aber nicht wofür es gut ist. Kannst du mir das bitte kurz erklären. Dank im Voraus. Gruß --LezFraniak (talk) 19:16, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- Die Antwort auf die erste Frage ist, dass zur Benutzung des Abschnittes "Notes" nicht runtergescrollt werden muss, denn es funktioniert wie ein Link. Wenn du auf "N1' klickst, dann bringt es dich automatisch zum Abschnitt, und wenn du auf "^", dann bringt es dich zurück. Zum Zweiten frage, die Vorlage {{0}} erzeugt ein Leerzeichen in der Breite einer Ziffer und erlaubt damit die Ausrichtung von Zahlen. Mit Hilfe dieser Vorlage besser ausrichten ohne "01" schreiben zu müssen. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 19:28, 27 May 2012 (UTC)
- Danke für die Erklärung. Zum Datum Maximum Break #10: Info habe ich von WP:de. Sollte wohl stimmen. Gruß --LezFraniak (talk) 20:27, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Constellation Energy Logo
Hi Armbrust, I reverted your edit of the Constellation Energy logo as the new logo you put up is actually that of the logo of the new Constellation subsidiary. This new Constellation subsidiary is the former Constellation NewEnergy business of Constellation Energy, but is not Constellation Energy itself which does not exist anymore after the merger with Exelon (confusing right?). As you might know already, Constellation Energy was the parent company of Constellation NewEnergy (merchant energy sales), Constellation Generation (power generation), Constellation Commodities Group (energy trading), and BGE (regulated utility). As a result of the merger with Exelon, three of the remaining businesses transferred over to Exelon with Constellation NewEnergy remaining a separate subsidiary rebranded as Constellation. Hopefully that clears up the confusion. TheLou75 (talk) 04:45, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- Have no idea, and to be honest it doesn't matter to me. I only uploaded the logo because it was requested at Wikipedia:Files for upload. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 09:12, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
Requested move of User talk:Theoa/Threejs
Hi Armbrust, thank you for looking at the Threejs draft. You quite rightfully pointed out that I was requesting a new article. I should have written the request as: User:Theoa/Threejs → User:Theoa/Three.js. My bad. Sorry to waste your time. In any case, I am now beginning to understand more about the issues of including ".js" in the title of a user page. So nothing more need be done on this until it becomes clearer whether this article becomes notable and neutral enough to progress to submission as an article. Theoa (talk) 21:37, 28 May 2012 (UTC)
- If a user subpage contains ".js" at the end of the name, than it is a JavaScript page and thus doesn't render any code. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 23:40, 28 May 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 May newsletter
We're halfway through round 3 (or the quarter finals, if you prefer) and things are running smoothly. We're seeing very high scoring; as of the time of writing, the top 16 all have over 90 points. This has already proved to be more competative than this time last year- in 2011, 76 points secured a place, while in 2010, a massive 250 was the lowest qualifying score. People have also upped their game slightly from last round, which is to be expected as we approach the end of the competition. Leading Pool A is Cwmhiraeth (submissions), whose points have mostly come from a large number of did you knows on marine biology. Pool B's leader, Grapple X (submissions), is for the first time not our highest scorer at the time of newsletter publication, but his good articles on The X-Files and Millenium keep him in second place overall. Miyagawa (submissions) leads Pool C, our quietest pool, with content in a variety of areas on a variety of topics. Pool D is led by Casliber (submissions), our current overall leader. Nearly half of Casliber's points come from his triple-scored Western Jackdaw, which is now a featured article.
This round has seen an unusually high number of featured lists, with nearly one in five remaining participants claiming one, and one user, Muboshgu (submissions), claiming two. Miyagawa's featured list, 1936 Summer Olympics medal table, was even awarded double points. By comparison, good article reviews seem to be playing a smaller part, and featured topics portals remain two content-types still unutilised in this competition. Other than that, there isn't much to say! Things are coming along smoothly. As ever, if you are concerned that your nomination—whether it is at good article candidates, a featured process, or anywhere else—will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. Questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup, and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

Hallo Armbrust, Habe gesehen dass du bei der WM 1949 H. F. Francis verlinkt hast. Habe bei ihm schon versucht ein Flagicon mit ? (Land unbekannt) wie in WP:de {{NONE|#}} einzufügen.

SEFA (disambiguation)
Hi. I am not sure of what to do. I think, the best option should be to move the article SEFA to Selected Elevated Flow Apparatus. As written in the article, SEFA is just the acronym, not the name. So we have two articles with the same SEFA acronym: Selected Elevated Flow Apparatus and Service d'exploitation de la formation aéronautique. That's why I think a disambiguation page is justified. Huon seems to agree. Best Regards. 80.13.85.217 (talk) 21:05, 3 June 2012 (UTC)
- It doesn't really matter, if SEFA is an acronym. Do you have any evidence, that "Selected Elevated Flow Apparatus" is the common name of the subject of the article and not "SEFA"? I don't think this is the case. I think you should use Wikipedia's requested moves process. (BTW I created the Selected Elevated Flow Apparatus ===> SEFA redirect.) Armbrust, B.Ed.

Hallo Armbrust, da warst du ja wieder schnell. Danke für's korrigieren. Manchmal rutschen einem doch noch ein paar deutsche Sachen in der Syntax durch. Woher hattest du die fehlenden Infos? Ich konnte im Netz nichts finden. Hast du spezielle Seiten auf denen du suchst außer bei Google? Das mit der Nordirische Flagge wusste ich nicht. Auch hierfür Danke. Was passiert nun mit den noch vorhandenen Flaggen im Turnierbaum? Wollte das jetzt nicht ändern bevor ich nicht weiß wie damit umzugehen ist. Außerdem kannst du mir noch einen Tipp bezüglich des Bearbeitungsfensters geben. In der deutschen Version habe ich noch eine dritte Reihe mit Werkzeugen z. B. "Suchen und ersetzen". Kann sie leider nicht in der engl. Version finden. Gruß. --LezFraniak (talk) 23:37, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
- Die Antworten zu deinen Fragen sind:
- Ich habe, neben Google, auch in Wikipedia eine suche gemacht. Ich habe die meiste namen auf 1991 World Snooker Championship gefunden. Matt Gibson habe ich auf Scottish Professional Championship gefunden. Und manchmal hilft, dass ich die Namen schon kenne, zum Beispiel: J. Meadowcroft = Jim Meadowcroft and G. Fould = Geoff Foulds. (Geoff Foulds ist der Vater von Neil Foulds.)
- Es sieht so aus, dass nur zwei Flaggen gefehlt hatten. Erledigt
- Ja, die einzige Möglichkeit auf ich denken kann ist, dass du die sogenannte "enhanced editing toolbar" nicht aktiviert hast. Du kannst es im Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-editing aktivieren. Wenn dieser Tipp dir nicht geholfen hat, dann kannst du auf WP:VPT frage.

- Im Turnierplan wird die Flage benutzt, weil (1) die Flagge auch außerhalb von Wikipedia bei Turnierplänen genutzt wird (IBSF) und (2) es gibt keine andere Möglichkeit die Nationalität des Spielers im Turnierplan festzuhalten.

- Im Turnierplan wird die Flage benutzt, weil (1) die Flagge auch außerhalb von Wikipedia bei Turnierplänen genutzt wird (IBSF) und (2) es gibt keine andere Möglichkeit die Nationalität des Spielers im Turnierplan festzuhalten.

Hey, so I'm intrigued by your reverting me at FFT0 for going against consensus. On the talk page, there is nothing but consensus in my favor by experienced editors, meanwhile, the only person against me is an IP who refuses to discuss things despite being asked to comment on the article's talk page. Additionally, my edit was in good faith in rewording things in a way where maybe there'd be a compromise since the information is a little less "front and center" in this approach. Sergecross73 msg me 16:15, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- Sorry. I didn't see your edit at all, because I used Twinkle's "[restore this version]" button, and wanted to only revert the IP's edit. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 16:20, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- It's alright, but could you revert it back though? If I change it back myself it'll look like I'm arguing with you too, and I'm already arguing/reverting that IP a lot, I'd rather not have it look like I'm edit warring. Thanks! Sergecross73 msg me 16:59, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- Already done. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 17:03, 7 June 2012 (UTC)
- Whoops, I missed that you had already corrected the mistake. Thank you. And it sounds like you were actually attempting to revert that IP, not me, correct? Thanks for that too then; he has been very difficult in making edits against both consensus and policy. Your intention is appreciated. Sergecross73 msg me 17:52, 7 June 2012 (UTC)

UEFA Euro 2012 schedule

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
Is this tag useful? There is no prose to speak of in the page; all "assertions" made there are numerical values for which the UEFA website should be a perfectly credible primary source. If your issue is with the schedule existing as a separate page, why not propose a merger or deletion? Just saying, the page will likely never include assertions of any kind that would actually require independent secondary sources. And tags for their own sake are imo on the annoying side of useless. --87.79.96.201 (talk) 20:53, 8 June 2012 (UTC)

Hallo Armbrust, habe meinen ersten eigenen Artikel in der WP:en erstellt. Vielleicht magst du mal Korrekturlesen. Schau mal ob ich die Personendaten richtig eingegeben habe. Bei manchen Fachbegriffen bin ich mir nicht sicher welche im Englischen am gebräuchlichsten sind. Aber du wirst das schon machen. ;-). Du kannst mir auch gerne ein paar Tipps geben was in der WP:en noch so wichtig und unterschiedlich zur WP:de ist. Viel Spaß. Gruß. --LezFraniak (talk) 16:29, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

Der Artikel braucht Nachweise, die nicht vom Herrn Leppens oder in dessen Auftrag geschrieben wurden. Die Subjekt des Artikels ist gewiss notable, weil er auf der höchste Ebene von Carambolage (WM) gespielt hat, und damit erfüllt er automatisch die Bedingungen von WP:ATHLETE.

- By the way, do you happen to know how to upload images to wikipedia pages?

Again, poor judgment on your part. The discussion has been over for a month. Jeremy has tried to override the consensus by starting a new "poll" discussion, claiming that we now have to wait another 30 days. There is simply no support for his claim on the talk page and he's attempting to game the system and continue rebooting the discussion until he gets his preferred outcome. Other than Jeremy's claim that we should wait 30 days, please show me how the discussion "isn't finished". Viriditas (talk) 09:40, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

Speedy for Native American --> Native-American
Oops! I removed the CFD tag from the category because I thought the discussion on the CFD page was closed and had been removed; I didn't realize it had simply been moved to a different part of the page. My mistake. Should I retag the category and restore the discussion? Or should I let it rest, since I doubt anyone thinks Native American should be hyphenated?

Reviewing requests for Rollback
Hi Armbrust. Have seen your work at both AFC and in the file space, where you do imo a great job, but I don't think I have ever dropped by to say hi and wish you a job well done. For what it is worth, I have meant to do just that on several occasions. I wanted to stop by and suggest that when helping to vet requests over at RfR that it would be more helpful to look deeper into the contributions, rather than making them jump through too many loops trying to present them if at all possible. A helpful and not to difficult way of doing so is to open last 500 edits and look for the ones that are red (ie. -13) and use popups to view if the edit summary matches the revert made, along with those specifically stating revert. If looking through those edits, you find something troubling or find no examples of reverting/undo vandalism, then questioning may be in order. Since some can't revert, they don't necessarily use "rvt", "rv", or "revert" in the summary, but may explain just fine what they actually did. Just some friendly advise that would further help with the vetting the editors for those handling the requests. My two cents. Take care. Kindly Calmer Waters 04:01, 21 June 2012 (UTC)

- No kidding on my part, but it looks like you absolutely don't know, how to work with non-free content. According to the 10c Wikipedia:Non-free content criteria the images description page had to contain the following: "The name of each article [...] in which fair use is claimed for the item, and a separate, specific non-free use rationale for each use of the item, as explained at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline. The rationale is presented in clear, plain language and is relevant to each use." As this images doesn't have such a rationale for the Red Star Belgrade article, they can't be placed on it.

I don't really wish to be disputatious about your close of the discussion but it seems to me that everyone except me agreed that Category:Terminology should be for articles discussing terminology and not for titles that are terms, and even I had been pretty much convinced by the end of the debate. That part of it, at least, was not no consensus. I was hoping for more definite support for the idea of recreating category:terms, which used to have the completely differenct parent category:lexicology, or at least someone come up with the reason it was emptied in the first place. But no one actually disagreed with this. I did not fully understand all of the comments, but I think there was broad support for this. Alan Leifting's comment in particular is difficult to parse; I think he was proposing leaving most of the entries where they were in "terminology" and create "terminologies" for those entries that are genuinely terminology. This, however, is still support for having separate categories for terminologies and terms. Perhaps his thinking was that it would be less work this way, but everyone else would probably prefer that the work was done. Anyway, there is definite broad consensus for having two categories of some sort. I do not think the suggestion of CfD will help, the discussion was listed there from 15 May, as well as an RfC being opened on it. It seems people are just not that interested in discussing and this is all the consensus we are going to get. Would you be willing to reconsider your close? SpinningSpark 10:50, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

Confirmed Rights
Hello, there.I was just curious that how do u find out so quickly whether a user is already autoconfirmed or not.Is there any custom javascript installed in your common.js? Max Viwe | Viwe The Max 20:25, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
- Well I examine the user, requesting the rights. See how many edits they have in their contribs (count for possible deleted edits) and their first edit (log). Ask a question (if necessary). The write the basic data down on a paper and check periodically for changes. I don't use any script for this. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 20:38, 27 June 2012 (UTC)

I can't find any information to say if this user is a legit WMF member or not. It was only just flagged at WP:RFP/C and is requesting lots of rights. Thoughts? ⇒TAP 13:04, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

- I agree with you. This should be discussed at some point, probably at WT:U. Now it looks like WP:PERM/C was a test, which was unfortunately successful.

Hello, you placed the critique of “too many pictures” at the top of the Antonio Diego Voci page and suggested I review “Manual Style on Images” I had already used that guide to originally construct the Antonio Diego Voci page. I have just refreshed myself as suggested.
- Comparison to the Wikipedia recommended “Timpani” revised page finds the Antonio Diego Voci page to be similar in both layout and ratio of images to text, and thus is in compliance.
- One item I overlooked and in good faith will now correct is the caricature of Diego’s father-in-law so that he is looking toward the text and not away from it, and thus be in compliance.
- The images within the text are all relevant to specific items in the text, located together as close as the system allows and thus are in compliance.
- Since I could not find any Wikipedia specific numbers for quantity of images to include in the gallery, I used as my guide other notable artists with pages which Wikipedia suggested. I found that the Cezanne Gallery had a similar number, Renoir had several more, and Monet had twice as many; therefore again by comparison of numbers are in compliance. NOTE: Relating to the Gallery, Diego was highly accomplished in several genres. I culled from hundreds of image choices to illustrate Diego’s versatility identified by Genre: Works, Faces, Surrealism, Cubism, Clowns/Harlequins/Musicians, Landscapes, and Horses/Boats. I wanted to add Fauvism, Figures and Abstract but, decided to err on the conservative side for total numbers of images.
- Lastly, to show my good faith to the conscientious editor, I eliminating 5 images from the body of the text. Removed is one of the 2 Native Indian images. And somewhat reluctantly, 4 images of official government documents which I felt added credibility. They will now be found scanned documents.
In closing, compliance with Wikipedia has been and IS my objective for the Antonio Diego Voci page. Maintaining the highest integrity, accuracy and visual appeal is vital to both Wikipedia and the reputation of Antonio Diego Voci.
Thanks, User:Ahjkl67435 Ahjkl67435 (talk) 18:15, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- Lets see,
- The Timpani has 14 picture and 4 sound files, and has a 4958 words. The Antonio Diego Voci article has 67 images with 4541 words. Almost Five times as many images with the same number of words. The Cezanne article contains 8 picture outside of the gallery, the Renoir has 6, the Monet has 9 and Diego has 32.
- That wasn't a problem.
- That's not true everywhere:
- Do we need three images for the sentence "All three Voci boys were sent to Reggio to study tailoring"? Most of the paragraph is about his brothers, not him.
- The "Café Scene" painting isn't mentioned in the "DIEGO Travels with Nephew" section. (Also there is text sandwiched between two images. According to MOS:IMAGES, this shouldn't be done.)
- The "Italienishe Arbeiterfamilie" painting isn't mentioned in the "JFK" section.
- Is two images really needed in the "In the News" section. I think one would suffice. (Also sandwiching of text between images.)
- The two images in the "USA/Canada Exhibitions" section are not mentioned in the text. (Also sandwiching of text between images.)
- Three pictures in the "DIEGO’s Last Hours" section. The "An empty chair" isn't mentioned in the text and smoking picture about the painter isn't needed in this section. (Also sandwiching of text between images.)
- As for the "Signatures of Antonio DIEGO Voci on artwork". It is completely unsourced and without this original research. Should be completely removed. (Tagged with {{unreferenced section}}.)
- The gallery isn't a problem.
- Some of the above mentioned images should be moved to the gallery. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 19:45, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
- Thank you for your clean-up and suggestions. I’ll be out of the state for a week and will continue the necessary refinement then. The following is addressed in 2 parts: 1. Your June 30th 7 point review. 2. Clarification of mixed up apples and oranges on number of pictures.
- Response to your June 30th 7 points:
- “All 3 Voci boys …..” a. You are correct, too much emphasis on the brothers. I will modify the text next week. b. Important that the Diego tailoring images survive. I treated the 3 images as one in a box. The purpose to illustrate Diego’s broad mosaic of talent to include the artistic ability and skill to design and make stylish garments. I request that the combined image remain as is, relevant to the whole.
- Perhaps it was overlooked, but the “Café Scene” painting is mentioned in the text, “Paris café scene….” I have now added quote marks around “Café Scene” so the connection to the image is more obvious. The 2 1957 images are especially material to the career of Diego as they are the earliest evidence of work discovered to date. How can I get past the sandwiching problem? Would moving them side by side be ok?
- You are correct. “ Italienishe Arbeiterfamilie" isn’t mentioned in the JFK text section, nor was it intended to. The image is exactly to the left of the 2 paragraphs. The paragraph quote by Helga Voci, “We left Zurich for Italy…” and in the paragraph before that “Leave Switzerland to warmer southern country…” and “people gather in groups…” and “ These are the subjects of Diego.” Also I added a new section title “Return to Italy” to separate the abrupt transition from the JFK section.
- In the News section, The TV Guide images are 3 pages together in one box as if one image. They are all the same May 1974 issue. a,The initial cover design was to include Diego on the cover. b, By print deadline Robert Stack was featured on the cover, but inside was…. c, The 3 page article “Diego is a Lion” by freelance writer Victoria Williams, of which I show only the first page. The other 2 pages can be found in scanned documents.
- Actually the 2 images in the” USA/Canadian” are mentioned in the text. A careful read will lead you to Diego, Helga and Allesandra’s visit to Diego’s older brother Vincenzo 1980. And the more important lithograph relates to publishing 8 lithographs in Urbino. However, the “sandwiching” is problematic. To show good faith I will abort the 1980 family photo in deference to keeping the lithograph image.
- I have a dilemma in need of a solution on “Diego’s Last Hours” section because all 3 images are important. In this case, truly, “A picture is worth a thousand words”. The 3 images tell more than the text can say. a, Diego died of lung cancer, text says he smoked 40 cigarettes a day. It was the cause of his death. b, At his death the empty chair was lifeless before the unfinished canvas, with paints awaiting a brush that would never again be lifted. c, The cubist ink on paper drawing was the last work done in his death bed. Even while dying Diego still had to be drawing. Again, 2 two images at the left are to be in one box as if 1 image. Please say they are OK there. The preference would be to have the ink drawing also included.
- I will cross check and add sources to each of the signatures.
- Re: Warning on “Alt and Yung” image: I'm working on getting a larger image to replace the tiny unexpandable “Alt and Yung”. A very important painting as is “Horses Racing” for reasons explained in the text.
- CLARIFICATION OF MIXED UP APPLES AND ORANGES ON NUMBER OF PICTURES. You’ll note in my June 30th point 4 we stated “gallery”. The count of images for “Cezanne gallery, Renoir, and Monet” was strictly Gallery to Gallery. No ratio of text to total images on those three was intended. And as far as “Timpani” your numbers were instructive and your point was made. However, because I did not see any gallery for “Timpani”, you’ll agree the ratio comparison of images to text would be out of balance to include gallery, which was not our intention. FYI, some of the layout difficulty we are experiencing is the layout variance of wide screen monitor to the reduced monitor version and to what comes out of the printer. What one person is looking at may be a quite different configuration from another even though the material entered was not different. Thanks, User:Ahjkl67435 Ahjkl67435 (talk) 19:39, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, my further opinion:
- Changed the align of the picture. Now okay.
- Fixed
- Now not a problem.
- Not a problem after the removing of the family photo.
- Done. Now not a problem.
- Removed File:An empty chair.jpg from the section, as the picture doesn't add anything to it.
- Okay. If you add the references about the signatures, than just remove the {{unsourced section}} tag. No need to notify me.
- If you upload an image with a higher resolution before the image is deleted, than leave a message to my talk page and I will withdraw the nomination. If the image is deleted in the meantime, than you can upload it again, as the OTRS ticket remains valid.
- Moved the signatures to the gallery, with this the number of images have gone down to 25 outside of the gallery. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 20:49, 2 July 2012 (UTC)
- The main body is OK but the gallery section at the end should be moved out to its proper place: the Commons. And why on earth have these images been uploaded here instead of the Commons? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:34, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
- Ok, my further opinion:
WikiCup 2012 June newsletter
Apologies for the lateness of this letter; our usual bot wasn't working. We are now entering round 4, our semi-finals, and have our final 16. A score of 243 was required to reach this round; significantly more than 2011's 76 points, and only a little behind 2010's 250 points. By comparison, last year, 150 points in round 4 secured a place in the final; in 2010, 430 were needed. Commiserations to Pool A's igordebraga (submissions), who scored 242 points, missing out on a place in the round by a whisker. However, congratulations to Pool B's Grapple X (submissions), whose television articles have brought him another round victory. Pool A's Cwmhiraeth (submissions) came second overall, with an impressive list of biological did you knows, good articles and featured articles. Third overall was Pool D's Muboshgu (submissions), with a long list of contibutions, mostly relating to baseball. Of course, with the points resetting every round, the playing field has been levelled. The most successful Pool was Pool D, which saw seven into the final round. Pool B saw four, C saw three and Pool A saw only the two round leaders.

Hi, I received your message but I am unable to reply back to you as I am new to wikipedia. As far as the question was concerned- I need permission to upload logo of our organization Greytrix India and I am permitted to use it. So there is not any copyright issue here. Waiting for your permission. Thanks A lot :) and also please do help me with some steps for uploading the logo. It will be really helpful for me. Sonal Singh 11:01, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

- I help out at various subpages of Requests for permission.
- I mostly help at WP:PERM/C. I first check, whether the user is autoconfirmed and than ask a question if necessary. I decline mostly if (1) the user wants to upload free images there or (2) the question wasn't answered in four days.
- In case of WP:PERM/AP I check the articles, the user created. Has xe created the necessary 50 articles? Are they properly sourced and notable?
- In case of WP:PERM/F I should, whether the user has enough experience in the file namespace by the number of the edits to the namespace, number of uploaded files, work with non-free material and previous file rename requests.
- And lastly at WP:PERM/R I check whether the user can identify vandalism on Wikipeda. If he doesn't warn the vandals, than it should brought to his/her attention.

Please go to the following webpage to learn more about granting permission to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:CONSENT
You do not need to upload the photo "George William Fullerton.jpg" to Wikipedia because this photo has already been submitted to Wikipedia Commons and is awaiting your company's permission to post it to George Fullerton's wiki page.
Please be sure to fill out the following information and email it to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org

One Source Template
I disagree with your addition of the One Source Template for the article 2012 ITU World Triathlon Series. The one source, ITU - for for an ITU article, is sufficient considering the content, which is merely two ITU event results. Please review WP:SELFPUB and WP:IRS for the relevance of this template posting. BarkeepChat/$ 04:45, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- I don't see, what's your problem. {{One source}} can be used if an article only contains one reference, which was true for this article. Now that you added more references to the article, there is no reason it to remain on the it. And you already removed the template. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 04:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- The template is when only one source is used, not one reference. If you're looking to have more than one reference added I think the template your looking to use is {{Refimprove}}. The ITU source(s) in the 2012 ITU World Triathlon Series article should be suitable as a reliable source for ITU race results and does not warrant a {{One source}} or a {{Primary sources}} template given the guidelines of WP:SELFPUB. From personal stand point it strikes me as unhelpful when I see an editor place a ref template on an article such as this one, where, in my opinion, the minimal amount of unreferenced content that is present isn't likely to be challenged and the external information can be easily found. But it appears that you are challenging the content, and thus race result refs were added. BarkeepChat/$ 13:57, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
PERM
Hi, thanks for that. I want to try and get involved with the process a bit more, so its good to have somebody watching over. Just on ething....why aren't you an admin?--Chip123456 (talk) 17:54, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- Maybe I will try for a third time in 4-6 months. Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 18:11, 9 July 2012 (UTC)
- I think sooner (hope). I often see you around PERM and RPP dealing with the backlogs, to say the least it's impressive. --Chip123456 (talk) 18:21, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

Move review
This talk page is far too big - do some archiving. I am not sure whether there is much point in creating a move review page and then deleting it 24hrs later. But if you must do so, when you delete, please put the db-author tag within <noinclude> tags otherwise Wikipedia:Move review will appear in CAT:CSD. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:35, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- Okay. Will do so next time. (Talk page will be archived on 1 August 2012.) Armbrust, B.Ed. WrestleMania XXVIII The Undertaker 20–0 13:38, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
- 1 Aug is far too late - it needs to be archived two weeks ago. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:45, 10 July 2012 (UTC)
