Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. .--Dakota ~ 03:07, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Please stop removing Articles for deletion notices and comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages. If you continue to remove them, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. RexNL 14:33, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your message

Answered at my talk page. Chick Bowen 17:06, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Restored

I have restored the article and added two of the links (the blog entry would not be considered a reliable source). In the meantime, however, I have blocked you for 12 hours for your considerable incivility. Please see the links in the welcome message above for more information about contributing, and please do try to be nicer about things. If you'd just asked me I would obviously have undeleted the article. Chick Bowen 06:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

I decided to be the bigger man and let you off early. But please do read our civility policy and follow it. Chick Bowen 07:29, 13 November 2006 (UTC)


I hope you feel better in blocking me Mr Politeness Policeman. Of course I would not expect an apology since you were WRONG and ARROGANT. No you instead blame those smarter than you. How nice does one have to be to someone who ruins things for the rest?? Oh I know, NOT AT ALL. ColScott

Still laughing at your abominably arrogant message. I shouldn't have to ask you to undelete a message YOU should be DAMN sure you know what you are talking about BEFORE you Delete it. In fact in this case it is insane- I did ask you but you wanted your "reliable sources" as if Wikipedia is reliable in any case. Shame on you. Col Scott

Dear Smith- I am not sure what you are telling me here? Arrogant guy DELETED a post. He cited potential libel risk due to accuracy and then cited notability factor. If he spent 12 seconds googling about an article that had been up a month that he deleted out a clear blue sky then he would have had his own answers. Before an extreme action like DELETION is taken he had an obligation to do some damn research. He had to be knowledgable. I wouldn't edit something I know nothing about nor should this guy DELETE something. It is an UNCIVIL thing to do and should be responded to in the strongest possible fashion. He didn't put it up to the group- he just did it. That is NOT OKAY. Otherwise I don't follow your point.-- ColScott 07:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm pointing out that it is Wikipedia policy to assume that Chick Bowen made an honest mistake. This is usually the case, as Wikipedia admins are granted power based on community consensus, with all their contributions made available to the public. It is always within your right to request recreation, which I believe you did - problem solved! I haven't looked at all aspects of this particular case - I cannot, as I am not an admin yet - but in any case regrettable mistakes do occur, especially since admins have to delete dozens of articles a day (I'm assuming this was a case of speedy deletion?, correct me if I'm wrong), and you have not accused Chick Bowen of anything outside correct actions - aside from, of course, accidentally deleting an article. You have accused him of asking for reliable sources, saying that Wikipedia itself is not reliable - but asking for reliable sources is one way to make Wikipedia reliable. While I can understand where you are coming from though, having felt a little similarly after having one of my articles deleted, I urge you to not take deletion as anything personal. --nkayesmith 07:59, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
