Supermarket Sweep/Possible merge?

I feel that the article Dale Winton featuring Bar-codes and Alison Brown is notable as they are a music chart act and Supermarket Sweep (Will you dance with me) is a hit, I personaly feel that this artist and this hit deserves it's own article but for notabilty sake, perhaps merge. Would you perfer that? Regards, Mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 23:25, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but I don't get what you want from me. -Barras (talk) 14:37, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I would like you to explain why you think that the article Dale Winton featuring Bar-codes and Alison Brown is not notable as I feel it is and also if it is not notable would you work with me to merge it with article Dale's Supermarket Sweep? Mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 17:57, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm not going to search where I've deleted something... I do that fairly often. Please link the pages. -Barras (talk) 18:04, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

I've created a article entitled Dale Winton via a solo effort and it merges Dale Winton featuring Bar-codes & Alison Brown. Mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 11:46, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Link the articles you want me to take a look at. Otherwise I don't care. I've currently more important things to do than searching for things. Thanks -Barras (talk) 12:32, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

You have an e-mail from me. Exert 01:51, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Done. Thanks for the information. -Barras (talk) 07:22, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Brigadier general

I just created the article, saved it and you deleted it. Can you restore? Thanks, --Chemicalinterest (talk) 16:45, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Sorry and restored. I just followed the QDs and deleted it when I haven't seen that you made an article out of it. -Barras (talk) 16:46, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

A dilemma

I have a restriction on webpages that only allows wikipedia.org, not wikimedia.org. I want to upload pictures of flame tests for some chemical elements and place them on the articles. See en: File:Lead powder burning (5).JPG for an example of lead powder burning. How will I be able to do this? --Chemicalinterest (talk) 17:07, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

I just asked a commons admin on IRC for help. My only idea is that you may use a proxy. -Barras (talk) 17:57, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Where are all the admins? I am monitoring recent changes and only see my name, as well as some IP's. What happened? --Chemicalinterest (talk) 17:59, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Our admins are naturally lazy and idle on IRC. PeterSymonds said that there is a way to move the enwiki file over to commons. You may should ask him directly. I'm not active there and don't know the how-to. -Barras (talk) 18:04, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Help!

I have had a page deleted by User:PMDrive1061 but can't contact him/her on their talk page (it's semi-protected). How can I get in touch with them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrRastaVibrations (talk • contribs)

Since PMDrive1061 is not an admin here, you may refer to the English Wikipedia. This is the simple English Wikipedia. I'm not an admin there, so I can't help you. -Barras (talk) 16:02, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Well, for one thing, this account has no other edits, so I'd recommend just making a new account. Also, I'd recommend you choose a more appropriate username. Kansan (talk) 02:45, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Exactly what Kansan said. -Barras (talk) 16:31, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

I left more comments on the talk page about what needs to be addressed to avoid a PAD Purplebackpack89 16:18, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

I saw...but I'm really busy in real life atm. -Barras (talk) 16:31, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Barras, it's at WP:PAD now, any chance you can find an alternative to ref 5 which is dead (or find it at archive.org)? The Rambling Man (talk) 22:30, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I will take a look later this day at the ref...that's all I'm currently able to do. Really busy in real life... -Barras (talk) 12:30, 16 November 2010 (UTC)

Protected pages

Some idiot, me, protected User:Barliner and User:Barliner/Stars. Can you unprotect them please. Hopefully I will be able to start contributing regularly again and reapply for admin status, but until then will be editing and rolling back. Thanks Bärliner 18:56, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Nice to see you here. I think I've never seen you here since I started. Anyway, welcome back. I've made the pages semi-protected, I hope this is ok for you. If you want them completely unprotected, just give me a hint and I'll do this. I've also given you rollback rights, so it's easier for you. -Barras (talk) 19:38, 10 December 2010 (UTC)

Your very helpful comments...

...have been fixed here. Thank you once again! :) Warmly, —Clementina talk 13:03, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

Just a question

Hey that anon that you blocked was he threatening you, Mr.Berty and I? If they were we could indef block them. Toboar (talk) 20:48, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

In general, we do not indefinitely block IP addresses. Kansan (talk) 20:48, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Not even after that? Toboar (talk) 20:49, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

The talk page stalker is right. Ips are most likely dynamic so he has just an other IP tomorrow. It would be useless. -Barras (talk) 20:50, 16 December 2010 (UTC)

Ahem?!

Why did you delete the John Reith page?! It did have meaning! He was the founder of BBC! Mr. Berty (seasons greetings!) ^talk/_stalk 15:51, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

The content was: '''John Reith''', was the founder of [[BBC]] in 1922. <br> {{TV-stub}}

Congratulation! You have created not even a one line stub with almost no content but also one of the shortest articles I've ever deleted. Just create article with some information and not (sorry) such a crap. -Barras (talk) 09:51, 20 December 2010 (UTC)
