Template:WikiProject Illinois

I would like to edit Template:WikiProject Illinois with Image request features similar to the ones I added to Template:WikiProject California. Is it possible to change the protection of Template:WikiProject Illinois from full to semi-protected. I didn't see any actual mis-edits in template history, so perhaps semi-protected would be OK to try out. Thanks. GregManninLB (talk) 17:28, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deleting dopplegangers

Excuse me but could I ask why you are deleting my doppleganger accounts? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 03:59, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In retrospect, I am not sure what it is you are deleting. Could you explain the deletions of User:Arcayne (csd u2), (Deletion log); 22:21 . . MZMcBride (Talk | contribs) deleted "User:Arcaney" (csd u2), (Deletion log); 22:21 . . MZMcBride (Talk | contribs) deleted "User:Arcane." I am curious. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 04:01, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I did register (meaning signed up to creat the account and marked it as a doppleganger) the following accounts: Arcaney and Arcane You didn't kick those, did you? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 06:08, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My doppelganger account

Why did you delete my doppelganger account User:Bill Reid? -Bill Reid | Talk 07:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Enlighten me

What was the content of User:TomStar81:SCII, and why was it deleted? TomStar81 (Talk) 08:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On second thought, ax that first question, you deleted a userbox of mine. I am still interested to know why it was deleted though, I was under the impression that the userbox migration demanded all userboxes to be in the user namespace. Did this policy change without my knowning it? TomStar81 (Talk) 08:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, Ok. Thanks for the clarification. TomStar81 (Talk) 20:17, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Confuzzled

Hey there. You deleted the page User:The Dark Lord Trombonator/Auto, which, as it was on my watchlist, was probably contributed to by me at some point. As I do not recall this page and may have accidentally created it back in the "n00b" days (as you can see it is a misspelling of my user name), would it be possible for you to let me know what was on it? Cheers -- THE DARK LORD TROMBONATOR 09:44, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ive restored this for the user and advised he can {{db-author}} it if he doesn't need it. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 15:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain! (and please replace)

My watchlist tells me you recently deleted "User:Eyedubya\Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre" (csd u2) - please explain what CSD U2 means and why you deleted this without first notifying me of your intention or putting it up for discussion. I'm asking because it has been through that process already and was moved to my sub-space so that I could work on it when I have the time. I'd really like it to be replaced since I don't have a copy of the text otherwise. Thanks. Eyedubya (talk) 11:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User:UBX fishy

Would you be willing to migrate the just-deleted User:UBX fishy to User:UBX/fishy? It was one of my favorite userboxes. Thanks! Cxw (talk) 14:04, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

My userbox

Hi. Did it not occur to you when deleting this under WP:CSD#U2 to check the "What links here"? You might have seen that it was used on my User page and the only thing wrong with it was an incorrectly-cased letter. As it is, it's taken me some time NOT editing the encyclopedia to sort it out. Utter waste of time. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 15:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Creation block for Big Brother Australia 2008

Could this block be lifted? The eighth Australian season is set to start by the end of the month and creation of the article is crucial plus it follows the naming scheme set by WP:BIGBRO for Big Brother Australia articles. ♪♫Al ucard 16♫♪ 15:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

Hello. Why did you delete User:Zero Sharp/Vairotsana To be honest, I'd forgotten it was there but... why deleted? Thanks Zero sharp (talk) 15:54, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Kumioko\TOC

Could you please put this page back. You broke the TOC on my user page when you deleted this page. According to the deletion log you speedy deleted this page due to CSD U2 (No User) but I really do exist and my mommy says I am very special so I would really appreciate it if you could restore this page.--Kumioko (talk) 15:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks I'll fix the \ to a /--Kumioko (talk) 19:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

deletion

Hi, you recently deleted User:Pete Forsyth/Scratch1. It must have been a page I created by mistake (my username is actually Peteforsyth, without a space.) But I wonder what I left on there. If it's not too much trouble, could you check, or restore it to my actual user space? Thanks! -Pete (talk) 16:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh boy..I see it was just a test. Sorry to make you go to the trouble -- feel free, of course, to redelete. -Pete (talk) 19:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Why have you deleted...

"User:HeartofaDog:Spare templates" (csd u2) ? AFAIK CSD 2 = non-existent user - but I do exist, and would like the page back. HeartofaDog (talk) 21:08, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks - I see the problem now. Regards, HeartofaDog (talk) 23:38, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete king

You deleted everything in my user account but the redirect. I'm not sure why all this took place except that when I first began my user page, and the attendant talk page, I was an amateur. I couldn't figure how to get past the direct to the article "buckboard" (the carriage) and so created Buckboard1 as an expedient to resolve that problem, with a redirect there. Everything from that point on for the last several years was built on that page, now deleted. Thanx a million. No wonder editors leave this place in droves. --Buckboard 07:12, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Looking upwards at Heart-of-a-dog's section, I see why the bot deleted it, but it doesn't make it any more palatable. It does, however, warrant an apology for my tone. Sorry about that.--Buckboard 07:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanx for the offer tendered on my user page. The renaming is as I explained in the first paragraph here--I wanted my account to be under "Buckboard", an internet handle I've held since there was an internet, but when I created it encountered a conflict with the article "buckboard" in accessing it. So I renamed and redirected to "Buckboard1", and that caused the split. Almost everything I've done on wiki has been under "Buckboard1". If you can remake everything into a single account named "Buckboard", please do. However what upset me was the loss of the page (still deleted) User:Buckboard1/Source List. That page had all the sources I use constantly in my editting and writing and is irreplaceable. The other deleted pages, sandbox and drafts, are expendable, but that one was crucial. If it can be restored, even for a short period such as a week so that I can recover all those web sites and store them into my favorites file, I would be grateful.--Buckboard 21:23, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

You've been really kind to me through all this (I'm a crotchety old man type) and I appreciate it. FYI, give it a few days and check back to Buckboard and you will find it blank and with a "please delete account" message. I am switching to a new account with none of these problems and discarding Buckboard entirely. I just ask for a few days to finish. Thanx.--Buckboard 04:42, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Please explain! (and please replace)

Yes, please I'd like my text back for the Asylum Seeker Welcome Centre, so I can work on it in future. Thanks. Eyedubya (talk) 14:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
