I'm Back. Again, this is an expressed apology to all those offended by my actions.

{{unblock|I've been away from Wikipedia for quite a while, and during that time, I had no interest in appealing this block. However, I have realized that I miss it more than I thought and I wish to be unblocked. Obviously, I have committed some horrible actions, and my chances of returning are very slim. If this request is denied, I will understand completely.}}

Comment on requested unblock by The Hybrid While he was on Wikipedia, Mike was one of my best friends (we still maintain off-wiki contact to a certain degree), and a great contributor other than the copyvios. I would love to see him unblocked. If he is, I will make sure that if he doesn't abstain from image uploads, which I would recommend that he do, that all of his copyright claims are verified. I am friends with User:Metros, an admin who has had great success dealing with copyright violations in the past, and User:Caribbean H.Q., who has admin contacts on Commons. I would make sure he doesn't violate copyrights anymore, and if he did I would report him to ANI. After he was blocked I was the first of his friends to condemn what he did, and we didn't speak for some time afterwards. The Hybrid T/C 01:12, 5 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

I am unblocking you on the recognizance of an established editor because everybody deserves a second chance after reforming, and it appears that only one admin persistently blocked you. Please be mindful of copyright policy in the future, and don't embarass the people that have vouched for you.

Welcome to the fourth issue of the WikiProject Saw's newsletter! Use this newsletter as a mechanism to inform yourselves about progress at the project and please be inspired to take more active roles in what we do.

Another year, and another Saw. The penultimate(?) entry to the series, Saw V, will becoming out in less than two weeks.

Pages Needing Cleanup
Monthly Collaboration
  • Perhaps for the remainder of this month (and the next couple of ones) we can work on Saw V's article. I have a feeling once the film comes out the page will be filled to the brim with information, a lot of which could be trimmed. The other film articles could use some work as well.
Newsletter Challange
  • Important Right now the biggest challenge is to save List of traps in the Saw film series from deletion. There are two things that can be done. First you can go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of traps in the Saw film series (3rd nomination) and voice your argument as to why it should be kept. Important: read over Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions. Saying stuff like "Saw rules, it should be kept" will not help at all. Just as important: improving the article so it has a fighting chance. I.E. Focus less on plot of the films but more "real world" information...I.E. the traps' impact on popular culture, reception they may have received, cited comparisions and allusions to actual devices (just pulling comparisions out of thin air would be original research.
  • Try to make the character articles more encyclopedic by making them less in-universe. See Jigsaw and Amanda's articles for guidance. Also see Jason Voorhees, which is a featured article. (Obviously there is more information on Jason available than the Saw characters, but it is worth looking at to see what's considered the best of the best.) Because of the nature of the series, poorly written articles could be considered 'deletion-bait' and 'cruft'...the better written the articles, the less likely this would happen.
  • Some of the plot articles seem to be overtly long. Without bowdlerizing them, maybe we could try to make them a bit shorter and concise.
  • Try to invite more members to this project. If you know any Saw fans who are good with computers, invite them to Wikipedia. The more the merrier.

Proposed deletion of Superstar (Saliva song)

The article Superstar (Saliva song) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references, no claim of notability, fails WP:NSONG and WP:GNG.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
