Welacome back, sorry I didn't get a chance to show my support at your recent RfA. You have my support, regardless. Peace! Hamster Sandwich 21:25, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
Hi, Ideaworks3d (lower case d) was deleted via PROD. Ideaworks3D redirected to it. Since the main article was deleted, I thought the redirect should / could be speedied --- and I stated that both on the talk page and the comments. You removed the speedy. I've placed a PROD on this article (that was a redirect), per your suggestion, but it seems to me that if the target of the redirect is deleted via PROD or AfD then the redirect itself should not have to go through the same process. I'm just trying to learn, I'm fine with whatever the proper process is ... thanks, Brian 15:13, 30 September 2006 (UTC)btbakk
Just looked at page logs and this had previously been deleted in November 2005. –– Lid(Talk) 02:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
He's recreated twice; recommend delete and protection against further recreation. ColourBurst 02:48, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Why did you delete that article? It was just being started.
Okay, I was just kind of making the place, but was going to go into him as an actor in Tamil and Bollywood movies. Thanks.
It was not clear to me from the first reading that the actress in question had actually appeared in movie, due to the strange wording of the article. On second view, I understand what the author meant, though I believe the article needs a serious rewrite. ---Charles 02:58, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
I did not realize the "inuse" template could only be used for 3 hours, so I appreciate your removing it from the article in question. The article is of a highly questionable nature, and I was involved in an edit war with its original author (as one can see from the article history), finally placing the tag in order to give him time to prove the article's validity. I think that he has failed in that endeavor, and I stand by the OR tag I placed on the article more than a week ago. My next step may be to request a peer review. Would you be willing to take a closer look at the article and offer your opinion on its value? Thanks for your time. ---Charles 20:01, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for taking care of the problem with the guy who was trying to impersonate me. I very much appreciate it. --Alan Au 02:29, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
I can neither correct the spelling of Gadsbey's Tavern Museum to Gadsby's Tavern Museum nor can I create a link to it from the American Whiskey Trail, where it is listed as part of that trail. Many thanks for any help you can provide.Gadsbey Ghost 23:29, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
I'll admit I haven't been doing much with AFD lately - however, we know from PROD that it's pretty much okay to delete an article if nobody objects. So from that angle, it seems to me like needless bureaucracy to relist an AFD that has lack of participation. Could you please explain to me the point of relisting? >Radiant< 15:32, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
I believe you made a mistake closing this with no consensus. The only people arguing to keep it were a bunch of pupils at the guy's school and a guy who can't spell professional and seems to believe Jamaica has a professional chess league. Catchpole 20:18, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
Would it be possible for you to comment on the new section of Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style (U.S. state highways)? --NE2 22:12, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I was in two minds whether to mention this given your sterling efforts in keeping AFD running smoothly, but I figure you can always ignore me if it is going to be the straw that breaks your back, so...when closing AFDs can you remove the categorisation template under the title. I use ais523's script to track down broken noms and it uses this category to build the list of open AFDs (so I guess I'm basically saying, can you make my life easier by making your life harder?). Cheers, Yomanganitalk 14:28, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Hey I was wondering if anyone relist a article on AfD I was going through the backlog and found one that didn't have any "votes" other than the nomination. So I was wondering what the subst for that is and where I could find it if I can thanks. Whispering(talk/c) 00:49, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for participating in my RfA, which finished with a tally of 52/6/1 (~90%). It was an interesting process which gave me a chance to learn a bit about myself and about the community. My intention now is to slowly ease into using those additional buttons on my page. No use being over eager and mucking up the works. The support of all those who went over my record and/or rallied to my defense after the big oppose vote was instumental to the success of this review. Again, thank you! --StuffOfInterest 11:33, 10 October 2006 (UTC) |
Could you restore Forgotten Hope and Forgotten Hope 2 to my user area so I can add sources? I have a number of magazine clippings, and articles and awards from many gaming websites, which I believe will fix the "no references" problem for the former and the "not notable" problem for the latter. Thanks! Ctz 23:06, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
Could you clarify what you mean by "linkless"? I feel that there is a sufficient amount of links in the Cory Quirino page. Are you referring to the red / dead links? I agree that there is just too many of them. Would you want me to get rid of them...i.e. de-link them? The only way I can "introduce links" is to actually create new pages to link to this one...and I feel that would only create more "red / dead links". Please leave a message in this page or the Cory Quirino talk page. Thank you very much. Doberdog 07:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)Doberdog
i saw you tagged this page as orphaned. I just created a body piercing template here, so the article will be linked to the 40 or 50 other piercing articles. Is this sufficient to remove the tag? Naufana : talk 01:36, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
Could we remove the links question flag at the top of her (Brigitte L. Nacos) article?

Hi, Judging by one of your user subpages, I suspect you're interested in the transwiki to wikibooks process.
We now have import enabled, and the current feeling is to do it that way, rather than copy/paste. If you see any that definitely merit copying, you can always list them on b:WB:RFI, and it will get handled promptly. We're currently waiting for bugzilla to make "Transwiki:" into a full namespace, then we'll be rolling with it faster (using the categories here), but at the moment it's just by request, because at the moment we have to import, then move to transwiki. --SB_Johnny|talk|books 14:58, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
When I created this entry, I included at least twenty links to other Wikipedia articles, so I don't understand why you added the "linkless" template to it. Could you please explain? Thanks! TOM 15:01, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
This person is continuing to spread the same link spam on other articles; I noticed you've reverted him several times on the Alabama article, as have I. He/She is now placing it on the Alaska article and Fairbanks articles. . AuburnPilotTalk 20:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
Marshbot added the {{linkless}} template to Glump/Firebirds, which isn't even in the main article space and thus should not have anything linking to it. Might want to fix that. :) --Masamage 00:26, 22 October 2006 (UTC)
I'm glad to see you swatted an "interestingly" in a sentence. There are bazillions of them on Wikipedia. Often when I'm bored, I use the "search" button to look for them. Interestingly, there's almost never a need for that word.
Yeah I just spoke to Dragonfly6-7 about the same thing. Initially I thought it was just me working on them so I was gonna kill them all to get DB off our back, then progressively work my way back as you suggested. Now I know theres at least 4 of us I'll take my time :) Glen 02:36, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
You stated in an edit summary that you're "not quite sure what's going on" with my User Page being tagged for speedy deletion. For an explanation, please see this complaint. Basically, this guy is mad at me for repeatedly nominating his article for deletion.--The Fat Man Who Never Came Back 16:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you very much for your support in my RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. I do however very much appreciate your comments. I am still very much in support of the Wikipedia project, and will continue to contribute without interruption, especially in the categorization project! Thanks again, --Elonka 07:35, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
There's a link to BCG_disease_outbreak_in_Finland_in_the_2000's in National_Public_Health_Institute_of_Finland, but for some reason it doesn't work, can you help? Jkpjkp 13:25, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I genuinely didn't mean to patronise, the heading to my post was supposed to be tongue in cheek, but perhaps it was too strong. However, if we can't point out mistakes to each other as admins then it's a pretty poor world. My comments were not really 'hindsight' since the problems with the article were obvious at the time of the afd. And there really is no need to abuse me in edit summaries. I believe in pointing issues out to people - and I invite them to do the same to me. If you don't agree with my analysis that's fine, just note it and we'll move on. No need for a drama - again sorry if I sounded too critical. --Doc 14:26, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello,
I noticed you have added a copyright violation tag on the page I just created on the Network of European Worldshops.
I work at Communications for Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International in Bonn - I am quite passionate about what I do and I have been spending a lot of free time on wikipedia in the past months, considerably improving all the articles on the topic. Since I have been working on both our new website (which was relaunched in August) and on Wikipedia, I have used some of the same texts. I sometimes adapted them to make them sound more neutral, sometimes (in the case of NEWS!) not when I judged their tone appropriate for Wikipedia. Of course, I fully agree with the GFDL licenses... any suggestions on what I should do next to get that tag removed? Should I send an email from my @fairtrade.net address saying I agree with the GFDL licenses? Thank you for your time. Vincentl 16:04, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi!
Got your message! However:
Just to make myself clearer!
My apology!
Well, this isn't cited either:
"Eckstein is a fan favorite in St. Louis, who consider him to be a "pesky" hitter (he chokes up on the bat about 1-2 inches)."
It's just common knowledge that Eckstein is not a very good player. That's why there's no article about it. 70.168.242.15 20:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't have a published source, but I talk quite often with high ranking people at U of L who say that he has not pushed harder to have the site redeveloped, even as almost every other brownfield adajacent to it is (like the other Reynolds Bldg or Industry Rd) U of L wants the site to become mixed used and apartments for students. I respect Tom Owen, but I feel that he wouldn't let a site like that sit in his neighborhood. I have had email correspondence with him about this and other things (namely bike lanes & SouBro development) and I personally feel he is sitting on the land to force the price up for U of L to buy it. I interviewed his son about the protect for U of L's dinky paper last year and he stated that they only wanted to get the site 100% filled w/ industrial storage, and had no plans of redeveloping it.
Again, I overall respect him, but on this issue he is lining his own pockets at other people's expense.

Hey Now!
All of a sudden you deleted a GREAT page of African cities.
How come?
In searching your site for film makers, of which i have found many, I havent found any films or film makers who have shared there secrets publicly. We are only just starting to germinate so to speak, I am making all the eqipment by hand from recicled materials (this i would like to share on your site) along with the making of photos of the production of the movie. When i typed in The Forest into your search I found 1 link to another movie by the same title and feel it only fair others find us here too! second I found 1 link to a game called the forest by nintendo which is blatant advertising of a company is it not?
perhaps you would like the removal our busines "hot cocky films" which can be done. we have no problem with that.
kind regards M Zilm CAMTECC for (hot cocky films)
I do not know why you changed the Jim Edmonds article I edited. I was born and raised in St. Louis and currently attend school here. In St. Louis, no one has ever called Edmonds "Jimmy Basesball". That sounds like as if it was coined by an ignorant fan, of the game, due to a crush on the big guy. In St. Louis we call him "Hollywood Edmonds". He looks like an action star. Take one look at him and he looks as comfortable swinging a bat as he would kicking down a brick wall decked out in camo holding an M-16 throwing led into Russian terrorits. Hence the name, "Hollywood Edmonds". Thanks for your time.

You continue to revert MY edits, which are actually more neutral and factual than the overhyped UN-objective puffery that you submit concerning Tubby Smith. What makes you think your unqualified praise of Tubby is more deserving of space than the FACTS that I submit? You claim that UK fans expect "nothing less" than Final Four from Tubby, but the FACT is that Tubby has NEVER taken a club he built to a Final Four, in his entire career. The ONLY time Tubby ever went to a Final Four was in 1998 with the team BUILT BY PITINO. And if you think there aren't people out there more objective than you, I encourage you to read this FOX SPORTS article just published today which mentions Tubby's perceived "success" that you so wildly proclaim: http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/6110884
[in relevant part, it reads: Coach who may get fired: Tubby Smith, Kentucky. The Wildcats haven't been to the Final Four since 1998. This year, they'll be on the tournament bubble in March. Poor recruiting leaves Smith in a precarious position.] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.226.73.149 (talk • contribs)
Hi, I am new to wikipedia and am very unsure about why my page keeps saying that there are not enough links? Could I get some help on what to do here? Thanks SMason
The good news is that the SQL would indeed be pretty straightforward to run on the full database. The less-good-news is that I can't run such a query immediately, as I don't have a rebuilt database table corresponding to the one that information is stored in: (pagelinks, as opposed to categorylinks and page, which are the ones I usually work with). It's also much larger than those two: I might have some difficulty building that table on the disk I'm using at present. I'll see if I can rejig things to use a different disk, or if necessary a different computer. That might take me a while, and the build itself is likely to take a fair bit of time, so hopefully you're not in a desparate hurry. It seems a bit daft that the special page is truncated at 1000; it doesn't look as if the whole list would be more than 2-3k, if the alphabeticisation is anything to go by. Alai 05:40, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Incidentally: I'm assuming what you're looking for is articles with no links from the article space, as distinct from those with no links whatsoever. Correct me if that's not right. Alai 01:34, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
OK, here's the list -- or rather lists, didn't seem to like being uploaded in one go.
Looks like you're right about the mainspace-link orphans; that seems to be very considerably larger, getting on for another 50,000 in addition to the above. I'll see if I can write a query to find the articles with no article links that are no already tagged as "linkless". If you have a means of double-checking these, then please do: I already found one batch of false-positives, due to having "missed" one batch of links, so I wouldn't be surprised if there are further such errors, so please let me know if you find any. (Obviously in addition, many have been deleted, or had links added since the db dump (which was on the 31st). Alai 10:24, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
Excellent, always nice to see a satisfied customer. It's probably a very good thing your bot does said checking: I can't rule out major gotchas, especially due to the piecewise way I ended up building the links table (not to mention the information being several days out of date now). Should be easier to do second time around, but still not something I'll be likely to be doing as regularly as I work with the other tables. Counting links-from-articles-and-your-user-space is possible, though on the whole it's probably easier just to exclude those marked as "linkless", as that's category information (which is somewhat more manageable, and which I'm trying to keep up to date after each dump).

Hi, I was wondering if you could take another look at these AFDs you recently closed; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Never Told You What I Do for a Living, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cemetery Drive and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in Prison. Personally I think the consensus reached was 'merge and redirect', but I'm not asking about that. The point I was trying to make with these AFDs was to try and dissuade people from trying to create an article for every song of their favourite band, especially taking into account Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Songs. These particular articles are for songs that definitely have no real claim to notability and the articles themselves are all rather short and are mostly made up of what people think the meaning of the song to be, they also do not contain a single reputable source. Thanks for your time. Timkovski 18:48, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for your advice. As I told to Interiot, I believe adminship is something you need to need. Until a month ago, I did not need it for myself, because I was focused on cleaning external links. However, both explained to me that, in order to be a good admin, you don't need to spend more time using the tools than editing. And with this you dismissed one of my fears: that I would disappoint people who trust me with such tools. If I can give a hand with the backlogs, copyright issues and anything that might be bothering around, I will gladly present myself in the near future for a request to see if others do agree. Thank you again. -- ReyBrujo 21:27, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello W marsh, I noticed that you recently deleted the ask jolene article, although I really don't especially care since I only created it as a peripheral matter to another article in a subject that I have never even edited before, I still must admit I am somewhat surprised about the deletion considering the fact that the result of the vote was 5 keeps to 6 deletes which would usually result in a no consensus. I don't really know anything about the site but from the other keeps on the afd it seemed like the alexa rating was not the only argument in favor of keeping.- Moshe Constantine Hassan Al-Silverburg | Talk 19:23, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, you seem to have hastily closed discussion on the deletion of an article I began entitled List of Australian bush bands. I had no opportunity to contribute to this discussion (which apparently consists of the negative comments of only two editors), as I have just returned from traveling for five days. In addition, I had no opportunity to merge the text into the article about the history of Australian bush bands. I do work hard at Wikipedia and believe I am the 77th most prolific contributor, and I feel strongly about documenting this little known musical tradition for our users. Regardless of what the editors who felt strongly about deleting my work believe, the names of bands performing this music are important. I hope you will give me the chance to merge this data, which I hope is not irretrievably lost following this overly hasty decision. Thank you for this and I look forward to hearing from you.

i started an article called "the garment district", cambridge, ma it was deleted as 'advertising'. i think that was wrong. this store has a major amount of press and articles in major newspapers and national media, therefore its relevance is more than sufficient for wikipedia. this is unfair.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Goscaranderson (talk • contribs)
Can you explain why you thought there was no consensus on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Balkan 176°? Nobody except Unfocused (talk · contribs) really indicated that the article should be kept; there were two merge opinions, but the rest were basically for delete. So, I think it really shouldn't be considered a lack of consensus. --Nlu (talk) 19:14, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
