I have the same opinion as you, about Kord (band). I think it has credible claim of significance (charting single) and more others notable reliances, like one of the Kord members was a member in a band of a notable artist named Nicola, but i've noticed that someone put again the speedy deletion tag. Maybe you can help me to remove again that tag, because i'm a begginer in Wikipedia editing and i don't know how to do that. thanks a lot.Lukasandi (talk) 15:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC) note:corrected link decltype (talk) 10:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
Hi! Sure, I don't mind at all. I guess it's convevient if everything is in the same format, so I'll adjust to that if I find anything more to add. Thanks for all the great work you have done on the article! Smetanahue (talk) 17:10, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

By the way, if you are living in the UK, I was wondering if you have the following pictures:
Can you also help improve this article: Docklands Light Railway rolling stock. Facts need to be verified and wording needs to be smoothen. There are also some info in the talk page that is needed to be incoperated into the article. --Tyw7 (Talk • Contributions) 13:55, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
That formulation, which I use not infrequently at RfA, is, I guess, an invocation of known unknowns, loath though I am to do anything that should put me beside Donald Rumsfeld (thus the poor attempt at echoing Wittgenstein). One does not expect that any candidate for adminship should be wholly conversant with policy and practice—I would worry deeply about the fitness for life of anyone with encyclopedic knowledge of project-space minutiae (even as I am an inveterate PIIer)—but I think that one may legitimately worry about a candidate who has not a full appreciation of what the areas with which he/she isn't wholly conversant are. I've no problem with a candidate who explains, for instance, that he/she doesn't understand our fair use policies and consequently won't partake of PUI and FfD, or one who admits that he/she isn’t comfortable with WP:BLOCK and so won’t do AIV, especially as a persistent advocate for limited-purpose adminship, but I am inclined to oppose candidates I fear will use the tools too broadly, thinking themselves to understand policies and practices with which in fact they are insufficiently familiar (to misuse the tools accidentally, that is; for more on how I weigh that risk one may see my [regrettably prolix] my RfA criteria). There are cases in which that fear follows from questions about a candidate’s judgment, and in those my !vote is likely to persist across RfAs (it has been my experience that when those who pass RfA notwithstanding questions about their judgment by offering that they will be circumspect and limit themselves to those areas with which they have experience quickly venture beyond their capabilities), but in most the fear follows from concerns about the candidate’s unfamiliarity with vast swaths of the project, one that is ameliorated by his/her becoming more broadly aware, increasing not only his/her actual knowledge but, crucially, also his/her ability to judge what it is he/she does not know, as I imagine that with respect to Ktr101 should be.

Can you "re-grade" this article and decide whether any "clean-up" template and "work to be done" templates still applies. While you are there could you clean up the article? --Tyw7 (Talk • Contributions) 16:32, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

For your much-needed assistance with the copyright backlog at WP:SCV. Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC) |
My apologies for double listing that user at AIV, I've had a really long week and am not entirely awake (the fact that it's 2:30am doesn't help either) so I'm going to admit my mistake, ask for your forgiveness for the double listing and wish you an enjoyable day! Frmatt (talk) 06:25, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
File:2nd spirit in the dark album cover.jpg might need the same treatment. I'd tag it myself and save you the trouble, but I have to run, and I'm unfamiliar enough with how CSD is done with images to be sure I'd do it right if I do it quickly. --Floquenbeam (talk) 16:00, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
Can you find the orginal researches of Docklands Light Railway rolling stock. Can you also find some info regarding the max speed of the rolling stock as I'm having hard time pinning down that information. A passanger service agent told me the max speed of the DLR rolling stock is 100 km per hour and the fastest speed traveled is 80 km per hour. --Tyw7 (Talk • Contributions) 20:26, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

THIS was very helpful, as I was afraid the rules had changes when I wasn't looking (chuckle). Point of fact is I look to other articles to see how its done before emulating. Having never before seen a filmography tagged as unsourced, I was worried. Thank you for explaining. MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 05:20, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

The Admin's Barnstar | |
Your work to not only improve the project, but to also watch over those who require assistance is greatly appreciated. While the article 2009 Collier Township shooting may not have been an interest of yours, your willingness to assist shows that your actions exemplify what administrators should be doing here. Thank you for being "one of the best" — Ched : ? 08:32, 11 August 2009 (UTC) |
Thank you Ched. I'm not sure what else to say. I really, really, appreciate it. decltype (talk) 08:46, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
Julie’s Bicycle. ceranthor 14:41, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
I just wanted to say thanks for stepping in and restoring a useful version of the article with which we've both been concerned recently. If it's not clear, I should say that I entirely approve of everything you've done, and I'm grateful that you found a path that resulted in Wikipedia getting a useful article. You're also right to suppose that I wasn't as careful as I might have been about examining the history of the article in question; I'm afraid when I see a virulent attack page, my protective instincts kick in and I want it gone before someone starts a lawsuit. Like every time I make a mistake in Wikipedia's work (and I'd like to think they're not as frequent as the casual observer would suppose), I hope it's taught me a lesson. Thanks also for stepping in and dealing with a user on my behalf whose emotions appear to have been engaged to the detriment of polite exchange. If you have anything further with respect to this or any other matter, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste:talk 14:57, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, I noticed you moved Jesuit from Portland to Beaverton. I believe that area is unincorporated Washington county and the ZIP code is assigned to Portland; moreover, the school lists its address as being in "beautiful Portland, Oregon" (http://www.jesuitportland.org/s/173/jesuit.aspx?sid=173&gid=1&pgid=989) and its URL even includes Portland. Curious about the reason for the move, and I do think this should be moved back to Portland. (Note: I am not affiliated with the school in any way, just want to get it in the right place.) Thanks! --Esprqii (talk) 17:16, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Continuing the discussion here so I don't get accused of badgering when all I want it to discuss and clarify.
I would have assumed that if my speedying-style was problematic, at least one admin (or editor) would have bothered to drop me a line in the last several months, or decline at-least one of my speedies. I would have loved to have fixed this issue 3 or 4 months ago, but one cannot fix what one is not aware of, nor can I time-travel. I've been made aware of it yesterday, and I've changed my speedy-style accordingly. See for example "{{db|Unlikely redirect, abbrevations are Eur. J. Pharmacol. or Eur J Pharmacol, not a hybrid Eur J Pharmacol.}}
", compared to my previous style for this kind of speedy "{{db|Unlikely redirect}}
".
A few months is a real long time to wait. Would Wikipedia really best be served by putting me "on hold" for something which will/would have no net effect at the end of the day? I mean, in the last several months, I don't recall any of my speedies being declined, and admins usually used the speedy template for the deletion logs. Suppose I had the tools during the last several months, the only difference today would be what names are written in the logs. The sentence (oppose vote) really doesn't seem to fit the crime, especially when the same crime has been perpetrated by current admins.
I don't really have anything else to say on the topic. Hopefully you're reconsider into a neutral, but if not, no hard feelings. Headbomb {ταλκκοντριβς – WP Physics} 06:03, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
Might you consider granting me rollback rights? I believe it is a tool that would improve my work on the project. Thank you, MichaelQSchmidt (talk) 03:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes, I forgot to preview the article and noticed the accidental changes right after saving. If you check the article history you'll see I fixed it one minute after you. But thanks anyway! Manfi 11:45, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Mr.TrustWorthy----Got Something to Tell Me? 23:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi there. I don't know how familiar you have become with the code of CSDHelper but I wonder if you could create a new feature for it (because Alex is on vacation). Since I do decline stuff fairly often, I would like to keep a record of declined deletions and I thought that CSDHelper could be used to maintain such a list (because it seems to be well able to edit articles using the AJAX stuff ;-)). I wonder whether you could think about creating a extension for it that updates a subpage in the declining admin's userspace (e.g. User:SoWhy/List of declined speedies) with the article name, tagger's name, criterion, decline reason and date/time. I don't think it should be that hard since all those things are determined by the script sooner or later anyway and as such, it would just mean writing those variables to another site (preferable into a sortable table). So, what do you think? Regards SoWhy 18:24, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
<-- Okay, I've been using it myself for a little while, and it seems to work well. It'd be great if you'd test it a bit too. You need to add the following to your monobook:
var declineLogPath = "User:Auto/csd"; // subpage that will hold the log. If it doesn't exist, it will be created
importScript('User:Auto/csd.js');
Currently a stand-alone version, but I predict it'll be fairly easy for Alex to incorporate it if he wants. decltype (talk) 10:28, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
<-- Glad you like it. Note that stylistic changes to the table should not break it. A known limitation (that you will probably soon discover) is that it won't log anything if it fails to determine the tagger, so no need to message me about that. Regards, decltype (talk) 05:19, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi Decltype, Thank you for your note on declining the speedy on Miguel cagigas. Allow me to make a few comments which in no way are intended to be offensive. After reading your user page your written English is obviously excellent but I note that you are from Norway and I suspect that your native tongue is not English. Please let me know if this is a presumption. The reason I raise the question is because I think that we have different interpretations of the wording of A7 that may be related to the nuances of the language - particularly the colloquial Australian English that I speak. You will find some similar comments by another editor directed to User:SoWhy who is from Munich.
Firstly some facts about Miguel cagigas, from his presence on the WWW he certainly is not an actor and probably does not exist. As far as I can tell none of the movies exist. The article has no references. The single entry in the discussion page calls him an "upcoming" actor - "upcoming" in this sense is almost an antonym of "notable". It is quite possible that this may be some form of attack on him by a friend - although usually those pages make claims about the subject being a porn star.
No doubt you will argue that the purpose of A7 is to remove the most obviously non significant pages and that this should only apply to articles where there is no assertion of significance at all e.g. Sharon is awesomeeeeee!. Such pages need no research for the subject to be found not significant and in fact could be speedily deleted under any number of criteria.
However I think there is a counter argument to this point: 1. A7 says: "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source. The criterion does apply if the claim of significance or importance given is not credible."
My feeling is that if I write an article saying that "I am the reigning King of France" you would speedy it as being not credible because there is no reigning King of France but if I wrote an article saying "I am the pretender to the French throne" you would not speedy it because it is possible that I may have some claim to the throne.
The question comes down to the meaning of "credible" and my take of this is that it means probable rather than possible. Thus from my point of view unsupported claims that I am a member of the French Royal family are possible but improbable. Similarly claims of 19 yr olds having stellar acting careers in which they suddenly go from no acting career to star in 5 movies in 12 months are possible but they are improbable.
My other point on this is whether you would have speedied this on the grounds that it was a blatant hoax - in other words do you discriminate on the grounds of incorrect labeling?
Does this make any difference? I think it does. I could and probably eventually will send this to AfD, where I would be very surprised if it survived, but this allows the article 7 days of air. I think the success of the WP project in its present form depends on its "credibility" and I do not believe that allowing articles like this to exist is not helpful. I make these arguments with good faith and I would certainly appreciate your views. Cheers Porturology (talk) 12:55, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks, decltype! I decided to PROD it because there is some non-infringing content on the page "worth" saving. Feel free to to delete it if I'm wrong, though. :) Theleftorium 16:16, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the offer, but I kind of like looking at my old userpages. Unless I become an admintrator sometime, I won't be able to see them! :) Theleftorium 18:03, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Hi decltype. International Fantasy Games Society was incorrectly moved to International Fantasy Gaming Society (copy/paste). Can you fix this? Thanks, Theleftorium 20:10, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
