Hi, can I please enquire into your deletion of Prince Chunk as A7? I realise another user tagged it as such but the admin makes the final decision. It was clearly notable and it has received remarkable media attention and established that in the article. Just for the record, I am not the author of the article but I was planning on contributing to it once the edit conflicts settled down. Thanks, ~ AmeIiorate U T C @ 04:44, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Hey Frank,
there is an ongoing discussion in wikipedia-en in freenode on the notability of Prince Chunk1. I was wondering if you would reverse the decision to delete it. Thanks.

I realize that I'm a relative latecomer on this, but I want to thank you for the speed with which you followed up on my CSD request. It hit rollover time for me, and I was suprized to find that it had already been taken care of when I got back to my terminal. Again, thanks. Cassius1213 (talk) 16:09, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Hey, Just want to ask, you deleted this as A7 and mentioned BLP, are you calling this a BLP deletion? If not, I think it would be a good idea to undelete this and nom it to AFD. Or of course you can wait for it to be nommed to DRV. :) Your pick but I'm not clear as to your reasoning. —— nixeagle 17:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
Come on, folks. It's a simple A7 deletion. He's a fat cat, not a fat cat. But, I don't have any dog in this fight; let's go to WP:DRV. If the consensus is to undelete, I'll be on it like flies on...fat cats. Frank | talk 18:16, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you...
...for participating in my RfA, which closed with 119 in support, 4 neutral and 5 opposes. I'm honestly overwhelmed at the level of support that I've received from the community, and will do my best to maintain the trust placed in me. I 'm also thankful to those who opposed or expressed a neutral position, for providing clear rationales and superb feedback for me to build on. I've set up a space for you to provide any further feedback or thoughts, should you feel inclined to. However you voted, thanks for taking the time out to contribute to the process, it's much appreciated. Kind regards, Gazimoff 21:13, 4 August 2008 (UTC) |

Hello. I am not the best person to ask on the subject as I got sick of the drama and support from administrators and arbitrators very quick, but a good place to start is here, followed by here, then here.
The other user that opposes based on being open to the recall process alone, no doubt, does so on the grounds of Arbitrator remarks on the matter. SashaNein (talk) 15:45, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
The existing section on quiet cars is little more than a statement of one side, the advocates want. Worse, the Lotus, a competing car company, has proposed a part that does not impact their product lines but would increase the price of a Prius.
There has been a hearing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the public record is available including the submitted materials. This includes what is missing from this write-up, the opposition report.
I'm here as long as it takes and have no problem with enlisting the help of my fellow hybrid electric owners. But editing this section to present just one side is not in the interest of sharing the facts and data. --- Bob Wilson —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bwilson4web (talk • contribs) 17:56, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
Sally Perdue "revealed" absolutely nothing about having a true affair with Clinton. Your edits to the page about her "revealling she had an affair" are unproven baloney. You're just as bad as that embarrassing Sarah Palin editor that internationally embarrassed Wikipedia last week to present such nonsense as a proven fact. I know Kevin J, and don't call me a "sock puppet" for saying he's unreliable. The IP address we use is from a public computer, and it's used by probably 100 different people daily. For me, the Sarah Palin article was enough, and I think it's time to make Wikipedia less of a political strategist website. YUIP78 (talk) 20:45, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

The policy does not suggest posting a warning, and for good reason: most IP accounts from which people vandalize are shared. In this case, the next time the vandal edits Wikipedia s/he may be using a different IP address; the next person who uses this IP address may make a good contribution. I think is the point of the first point of the policy - if we establish that the IP address is shared, there is no point at all in positing a warning or a greeting. In any event, the steps laid out in the policy need be followed only in the case pf persistent vandalism.
Most IP talk pages I have seen in whcih someone posted a warning were used once; we all know that it is most likely that the vandal is just a kid who will not come back or if s/he does will use a different computer in the library or a different internet cafe. All posting these warning do is to create new talk pages. This is ine effect creating a nonsense page, and this is against policy.
The only pages I have deleted are phone user talk pages, that is, talk pages for non-existent users.
Do people really create new pages all the time in order to post a warning to an unidentified person? Well, there was a time when no one did that. there was a time when people focused on writing articles.
I assume good faith on the part of people who create new pages pointlessly, which is why I warn them. They take their well-intentioned zeal against vandalism one step too far. But the practice should be discouraged. Slrubenstein | Talk 00:58, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
I didn't mean to "splash" anything - I took your comment seriously, and wanted to provide a thoughtful answer. I disagree with you. In most cases where people followed policy and tried to identify the address, it turned out to be a shared address used by the general public. if some people do this all the time, they should not. It does not deter vandalism, it does not send an effective message. What it does do is create a user talk page when there is no identifable user. Slrubenstein | Talk 01:12, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
I put a warning on the person's page. The person ignored the warning and continued to create new nonsense pages. I blocked the person for the minimum amount of time, fifteen minutes, to ensure s/he would read the warning. The block has expired by now. I have no doubt that this user is generally productive but at the time s/he was making a series of unproductive edits and apparently ignoring the alert at the tope of the page saying s/he had a new message. Slrubenstein | Talk 01:01, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
... for your civility. I realize several people are upset that I blocked a user, and I acknowledge that many thought I was wrong, but I hope people understand that I do not consider blocks punitive and assume other editors understand that they are not punitive. My intention in a 15 minute block - whether one believes I was right or not - was to preventing imminent or continuing disruption to Wikipedia (the creation of what I view to be unnecessary and nonsense pages), and to encouraging a rapid understanding of my reasoning, and response to my notice on the user's talk page. As you pointed out, since the upset I have not done anything other to post an additional comment on that user's talk page - a comment I hoped owuld be conciliatory - and to respond to people who have posted to my user page.
I think there is a real need for discussion about the practice of creating new pages in order to issue warnings to IP addresses. If you have any ideas about the best venue for that, I would be happy to go along. I certainly won't take any more action until there has been community discussion. This goes against my better judgement but I am happy now to defer to the judgement of several other editors who have expressed their disagreement with me.

Batman is one of the most iconic, recognizable characters in all of comics. He has been around since 1939 and has had numerous adaptions made about him (via animation, live-action television and film, and video games). It would do the character more good (in terms of serving as a relatively important history lesson) than you could imagine to showcase a "career timeline" through all of the important eras/ages in the comics. Besides, if you're going to delete this article about Batman's career timeline and more importantly, his evolution as a superhero/crime fighter, then you might as well do the same about the article entitled "History of Superman".

Hi . . . here's the ref <deleted>. Let me know when you had a look so so I can delete the file. It is from the Second Edition as it appears on Bloomberg.
Appreciate your comments, but as I am a new contributing member I do not fully understand your objections: please explain such objections so that they become readable by someone who is not yet aware of all the numerous and often quite ambiguous and vaguely described editorial objections to publication of new material on Wikipedia. Perhaps you read an earlier version that was incomplete and our editings overlapped in time? If you accept I will show here the updated version that I feel it should not have been deleted.

"Alexander Grothendieck's Esquisse d'un Programme (1984) was, and still is, a famous proposal for a position at the Centre National de la R‘echerche Scientifique, which he held from 1984 to his retirement in 1988. The dessins d'enfants, or 'children's games of drawing' and 'anabelian geometry'--non-Abelian or non-commutative geometry-- inspired extensive mathematical studies that continue today."
RE: your statement : "Please feel free to create the article in your userspace, as I suggested on your talk page." --it may seem , if it were taken out of context to be meant to be helpful-- but it is really no favor at all, as it might be construed by someone who did not read the article; it can be also interpreted as to completely ignore my objections to your deletion --that as yet stands unjustified by your not reading art all the updated version of the article in qquestion.

The account had edits beyond the creation of a silly userpage (to bluelink its username) and various sorts of blanking vandalism.
If it had looked like there was any hope of anything worthwhile coming from this editor I might not have blocked. As it is, he can create a new account with a clean nose in 24 hours, or he can request an unblock.
Some admins might block here, some might not--it's a judgement call. TenOfAllTrades(talk) 02:30, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I created the page Nina de Roy some time ago and you deleted it on 21 October 2008 with explanation "Doesn't indicate importance or significance of a real person". I'm sorry but I feel your action is unreasonable without a proper explanation.
The entry clearly explained her significance. She is one of the main anchors / presenters on Bloomberg Television UK. Presents on Bloomberg in the UK have come into the spotlight since some have moved into high profile positions on mainstream terristial television such as on BBC 2 and Channel 4.

Thanks for clarification. As indicated in the log, the article was considered a stub or there are nothing worthy to write about before the episode airs. That was on the 21st Oct. I recreated the page on the 27th (after the episode aired) complete with a plot summary and details according to the episode summaries format similar to this show and other TV shows. There was no log purposing to delete that version of the page.

please explain why you deleted the article "Holy Mary of Guadalupe Toddler Development School-Sun Valley" because of (G11: Blatant advertising)
you said that the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person well isn't an article supposed to be focused on its subject? the subject is the school and of course as an encyclopedic article its supposed to talk about itself?
so what is blatant advertising there? if the article is blatant advertising because it talks about itself then all school articles should be considered advertisements as well

Hi Frank,
I am new to Wikipedia and made a mistake on The Sharon Academy page. I understand my error now and tried to make changes to improve the write up. Could you please restore the page? Just because I was bias at first, does not mean that there should be no write up on the school.
