[edit] Radiance
That's very pretty. Can we upload it and stick it in the quilt, or is there a copyrighty reason not to? (Radiant) 12:04, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Right to Vanish
People have the right to vanish. So, if you had checked the deletion log, you would have seen that the page was deleted according to the meta page related to right to vanish. -- Kim van der Linde at venus 14:28, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
- I checked the deletion log alright, but of course while it said that the page was deleted, it did not explain why a new version of the page existed with only your edits in it. I figured out eventually that after deleting it you must have created a new version of the page. And instead of leaving it blank, which would have been the standard thing to do, you added your own comments to it to complain about what (you think) a third editor has done. I doubt I'm the only one who considers it inappropriate for the talk page history of a good user to consist entirely of bitter comments that have nothing to do with him, made after he left and asked to be indef blocked. I see that Khoikoi has restored the full history of the page and it's now blank as it should be, so I consider the problem resolved. Kla'quot 20:57, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Re: Spam
Hi Clayoquot, thanks for contacting me about Oxygen XML Editor. I don't use it, but I have heard of it, and quite a few of my colleagues use it. While that doesn't necessarily mean that it's notable enough, I certainly think this particular piece of software is. The article does read like an ad, so having {{advertisement}} is a Good Thing, and the main contributor, with a name like Syncrosoft, likely has a conflict of interest with writing this article. That being said, I think the subject is notable enough, so rewriting it would be a better solution than deleting it. Cheers, Deathphoenix ʕ 16:25, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know db-spam is speedyable, but I don't see it as blatant advertising... speedies are supposed to be obvious and unambiguous, and I don't think this article qualifies. As someone who thinks the subject is notable enough, I think this article would benefit more from a rewrite: someone who's used it before could come and write about what's not good about it, for example. Since I've never used it before, I'm obviously not the person to do it. --Deathphoenix ʕ 13:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah... I think with the tag, Oxygen won't get too much of a benefit because we've marked it as an ad. I'd like there to be a criticism section, maybe reduce all the stuff about downloading the trial. Hmmm... I could probably do that. :-) --Deathphoenix ʕ 17:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Deletion of user & talk pages
Hi Stifle, regarding [1] and [2]. Would you mind restoring the pages? Bhouston signed comments all over the place, linking to these pages. They should redirect to the pages for his most recent username. The absence of these pages is causing confusion here. Thanks, Kla'quot 06:59, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
- As the user involved has left Wikipedia I am not sure that restoring these would have any effect. Can you explain more what is going on? Stifle (talk) 15:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
Sure. For example, there are pages like this: Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Israeli_apartheid#Statement_by_Bhouston with statements by Ben. If you click his name, you should get to a page from which you can access a "User contributions" link. Right now if you click his name, you get to nothing. Kla'quot 17:08, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
