[edit] yea wtf?

why did u delete the Piat! Piat! Article i worked so hard on? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Infact (talkcontribs).

what di u mean those requirements? i'm in the fuckin band! i think i know what happened and what's going on in it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Infact (talkcontribs).

[edit] Deletion of Dark Forces Clan

I am wondering why my article of the Dark Forces Clan has been deleted. I spent hours on it and I'd like an explanation- whether or not it is a valid explanation or not, if there is a copy of the article I'd like it sent to me- I need the information and would like to think my 3 hours had not been wasted.

I have had previous troubles with Americans putting up my articles for deletion due to notability. Of course you may fail to see the notability, but I assure you there are many Australians who would like this information and like to know what is happening around where they live- who knows, they may want to be a part of the clan- I mean it when I say we are more well known than you'd think. If I could get a copy of the article putting it on my user page would help. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Darth Maddolis (talkcontribs).

[edit] Town stubs/tagging

Yeh, I haven't got anything against the UK or anything ;). It just seems a bit pointless having thousands of articles on small villages which are unlikely to get expanded for a while. The user has made quite a lot. The information provided in most of them could be found on the web or map anyway. But, hey WP isn't a paper encylopedia. I won't tag anymore unless it only says something like "Eastbourne is a town in the UK".--Andeh 14:17, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Greg Garner

understand this page has seems bad, but it is very important to over 50 kids who have had Mr. Garner's class in High School. He really reached kids, and taking this page down would be like spitting in those kids faces. There are some stupid things, but they are all inside jokes, and we plan to explain that they are jokes. Other wise, the qoutes from people, and the general information are true about Mr. Garner, and his most famous class, Science Fiction. Taking this page down without telling us how to make it okay would be very dirty and Republican-like, and no one wants that. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TheBigOlBug (talkcontribs).

Greg Garner was deleted with comment A7. Whats that? Was there any discussion about the deletion? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 16:04, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

thx for your reply. Just curious, what is A7 in the del log? Tobias Conradi (Talk) 16:28, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Evgeni Plushenko

Why you continue revert me? Even if I am a sockpuppet of Roitr, I have the full right to add the exact and checked up information. My data is correct and provide by sources. You not provide the revert other sources and consequently you have not good reason for revert me here. It is silly reverts!!! Stop them!!! I add provide data, you not. See http://www.isufs.org/bios/isufs00000124.htm, mms://video.rfn.ru/rtr-sport/7118.asf - a video file & http://www.kingonice.com/news04-05-part2.htm. You can will be convinced that I am right and my information precisely. Once again I ask you stop thoughtlessly revert me and follow exact data, instead of to senseless eddit wars. And consequently I ask you return to my variant of this clause please.--88.154.7.100 19:35, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Continuing Translation

I really haven't had a schedule conducive to translating lately. Tonight was the first time in a few days I've been able to get on for a long time, and TfD had gotten out of hand again. (It always has a backlog.) I have to work at an insanely early hour tomorrow, but I may be able to translate the article- all of it- tomorrow afternoon. RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 04:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC) (11:10PM Central)

Oops. I had to take an extra shift for someone who called in sick, didn't have time to translate, nor will I have time tonight or tomorrow. RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 22:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
Unusually, I translated a bit! Even more unusually, I have off tomorrow. RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 05:09, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
I've written on Esperanza's alert page that I am taking a Wikibreak in order to re-evaluate why I am at Wikipedia in the first place. The last thing I'm going to do before I go is finish that translation, it would be rude to leave it unfinished, and then embark on an existensial quest :) .RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 22:32, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
I've finished. The German article has a lot of material that can't really be translted. Much of the German article is written from the German point of view, so if I translated it, I'd have to stick a big {{globalize}} tag on it. I might tweak the article from time to time, but the translation is complete. I really feel I should apologize, I'm usually a much more relaible translator, I'm just having a stressful time at the moment. (I'm moving to another state in six days). I hope you like the translation, and that you don;t hesitate to ask me for help in the future. Happy to be of service, RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 05:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
By the way, I'll have a look over Jackson Haines tomorrow and see what the Germans have to add. RyanGerbil10(The people rejoice!) 06:06, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Help Me Delete Mario Paint Wii

I know I had an article deleted once, but in all, all I can do on Wikipedia is place tags and redirects at the most. I need help deleting Mario Paint Wii. Nintendo has made no announcement on it, there is no facts anywhere, the expected release is pass, and so on and so forth. Could you check it out?TheListUpdater 12:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Wailing Caverns

I'd like to know why you deleted Wailing Caverns. It says (G4) after it in the deletion log, but I don't know what that means. =/ --Schlagwerk 14:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I see now. Thanks for actually helping me out and not jumping all over me being the new kid I am. :D --Schlagwerk 23:39, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Host

Greetings, young stickler. Love to have a chat about the "tone" thingy you left on Your Host. I'm always home. ..Ki Longfellow 17:17, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I understand your assertion that the article is biased towards this horse. Hard not to be. Heros do that to a person. Perhaps it isn't quite "encyclopedic" enough. I'll have a look at it, and see where I can get drier. Of course, I'd rather not. But heyho, you have a point...Ki Longfellow 17:46, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tonia Kwiatkowski

Fang: I have added sources where appropriate and attempted to revise any words which could be perceived as not written in a neutral tone. If you still feel the article is not neutral, please reply as to what specific things need to be changed. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.167.113.82 (talkcontribs).

[edit] Avidity edit.

I feel I must question your disapproval of my post on Avidity. Your reason given reflected an infringement of copyrighted material. As the author of the material referenced in the article I feel I have a right to post this. It was my desire to 1) enter the article into public domain so as to avert copyright infringement by others who have used the information without properly referencing it 2) to make the information freely available to anyone and 3) to allow the information to be pier reviewed by the Wikipedia community of users. A review of the Wikipedia GFDL demonstrates my post has not violated any regulations and is, apparently, a demonstration of the implied and stated use of Wikipedia.

  • Boy, I feel stupid--I completely forgot about WP:OR. Thanks for catching that (and for deleting dozens and dozens of the articles I nominate)! And I love the use of the Éowyn quote on your user page--dealing with everyone's assumptions that I am male does get tiresome. Cheers! -- Merope 17:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Please restore Ghamoo. He has reached celebrity status in our community, and deserves a page about his history. There are examples of other famous characters from our server. Adenhart 02:59, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dark Forces Clan

Thank you for moving the page to my user page, I really appreciate it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Darth Maddolis (talkcontribs).

[edit] Vic Olam

Greetings! I was just cleaning up a stub article on a nn film & noticed that the article for its director has been deleted (by you) due to "guerrilla tactics" on the part of its creator. Just thought you might want to know the 401K: End Game article is out there. Cheers, Her Pegship 15:28, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] IAmaze deletion

Fang, given all the hype around AJAX technology these days, I think the iAmaze use of this technology 3 years before the term was invented makes it noteworthy. Also, this page was being circulated to members of the original iAmaze and DIG team for additional contribution. Deleting it less than 15 minutes after it was created makes such contributions... well.. difficult. :-(

[edit] Copyvios

Thank you for tagging all those copyvios! Keep 'em coming and I'll delete them. --Fang Aili talk 14:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm going insane having to tag all of them. Could you please keep count of all db-copyvios I've filed so far? They're all by Paul Arnott (talkcontribs) whom I going to be warning with a two-by-four at this rate. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 14:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Czar Entertainment

I don't think it met criteria for speedy deletion. Google turns up 11k hit for "Czar Entertainment", and it seems the company was involved in a law suit with 50 Cent which could make it notable. I think this should be undeleted and go through AFD rather than Speedy Deletion. Please investigate and get back to me. --Darksun 14:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] User:BojacRedIeif/User:BojacRedleif

Hiya, just noticed you issued a warning to this/these users. Clearly one of them is meant as an impersonation account, but neither of them seems to have any constructive edits, so I was wondering which one of them should be blocked/banned? Thanks! Wickethewok 15:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Cuz it's a video game! Are you not a sysop? Go rouge and zap it! Else, wait five days like everybody else. - CrazyRussian talk/email 16:01, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Paxar

A redirect to Pixar is bit of a stretch. It's more like typosquatting to me since Paxar has nothing to do with Pixar. I'd rather you delete Paxar and protect it from recreation. -- Netsnipe (Talk) 16:21, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bloap

Mr. Aili:

I notice that you deleted my recent addition (Bloap) to Wikipedia. (Please see talk:Bloap) I find the creation of terms such as Bloap to be of value to our culture as they reflect the growing importance of user-driven content in the Web 2.0 world. And as an author, I find the creation of new forms of entertainment -- in our increasingly IP-based media landscape -- to be something to be encouraged.

I hope you will reconsider.

J.G. Sandom
Sandom (talk contribs)

Well, Erica, I just don't see it that way. I think that Wikipedia has a moral obligation to encourage the creation,and posting of new language that speaks to new social and communications phenomenon. Under your definition of "Notable", the terms Internet or Blog would not have been permitted within Wikipedia until they became mainstream. Surely Net- and Blog-based soap operas are not something that out of the ordinary, nor are they only of interest to a narrow band of people. Again, I hope you will reconsider. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sandom (talkcontribs).

[edit] RE: Journey Church deletion

Fang: Journey Church is one of the few longstanding and active emerging churches in the USA. The church is currently being included in the doctorial research being done by Tony Jones, one of the prominet leaders in the movement. Thus it's inclusion is relevant in relation with the emerging church article. Thanks Fang! Sbarrett00 22:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


[edit] RE: the Martians Band deletion

I noticed the Martians page was deleted by you recently. In July 2006 the Martians, John, Gerry and James Kielty, won the Quest for a new Scottish Musical, beating hundreds of other applicants, and their musical the Sundowe will be performed in Inverness before touring in 2007. I was wondering that this huge success may change things with regard to their article?? {{User LaurynK]] 00:30 7 August 2006

[edit] martin john callanan

thanks for deleting this page i had just started - it had only been there an hour while i went for lunch. btw, the artist is well known as a media artist in the uk, and has 5 books published. how about someone who knows about UK art decides on worthyness of this entry?

[edit] The Grenaders and Mike Cretella

Please don't delete the article of The Grenaders, which I created, and the one about Mike Cretella, who is the lead singer of The Grenaders and whos article just appeared out of no where. I think it;s unnecessary to delete pages which have more information that other articles which are also relatively new. Let it be. Who knows, maybe it could thrive if we have enough contributors? The more the merrier. Please don't delete. Oh and sorry for my strong language but I was enraged because as far as I can remember that The Grenaders-article is the first one I created in the English encyclopaedia... Please don't delete. Someone else will update it and improve it so don't worry. Please just give it a chance. Just one chance. Please. --Scotteh 20:22, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the fast reply, but I know the CSD criteria. I just do not understand how I should prove the category has been empty for 4 days. This particular category has been empty since 13 July, when the only article in it ORCA Aircraft got deleted: [2]. So those 4 days have passed I would say. Best regards, --Cpt.

Thanks, you are fast. :) Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 13:40, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seventeen Again

You deleted the article Seventeen Again because it was essentially empty. This was a correct decision, but the movie itself might be notable and some verifiable references are available. For example, there is an IMDb entry at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0194422/ . As well, the deletion log http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log/delete&page=Seventeen_Again shows that the article has been deleted a total of four times, and it is possible that one of the previous versions might provide a better starting point for a fresh article, if the article is notable. I would rather not attempt the article myself, since other people are better than I am at writing articles about movies. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 13:59, 9 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The International Peace Trail Project

The Peace Trail Project does in fact exist. Its purpose is to create the world wide will to build The International Peace Trail. It is not, nor could it be, something that one person or one group could possibly build by themselves but something that we must all build together. Ideas are very important. They live and die like you or I. Please do not let the idea of the Peace Trail die. I can think of no reason why there should not be an entry about a world wide project to build an International Peace Trail. By allowing this entry to remain, you help make this a possiblity. I can work on the entry more from time to time, if you want, to help explain why the idea is so important, what it can do and how it can be built but of course I cannot possibly build it myself.

BTW, I notice there is an entry for The Garden of Forking Paths. That is an idea as well. No one has needed to build it for there to be an entry.

Peace, Love and Freshness,

Düg Fresh www.peacetrail.com

If you build it, peace will come —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DugFresh (talkcontribs).

[edit] The International Peace Trail is supremely notable

The International Peace Trail is being considered not notable by the editors of wikipedia and is going to be deleted. Yet it is very notable. It offers a wonderful chance for a sustainable future by offering a blueprint with which to create one. So much of what is considered notable by society today is garbage and won't matter to anyone when they're gone. The Peace Trail however holds the possibly of remaining notable long after we are gone. It is notable for one important reason: we cannot take it with us, but we can leave it behind.

The International Peace Trail is supremely notable because it helps us to leave behind a living blue-green marble for our children. It should be noted that this is not what we are currently leaving behind. This is why it should be patently obvious why The International Peace Trail is so important. What we are leaving behind is a toxic soup. If it continues to be a living planet, it will do so without us. If we wish to remain along for the ride, we must get our act together. The Peace Trail is supremely notable because it creates a focal point, a project, and an opportunity for us to do just that.

Is there no chance for a second opinion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DugFresh (talkcontribs).

[edit] image copyvio question

Hey you. From your talk page, you seem to be a queen of deletions so I thought I'd ask you. Eggi127 (contribs) added an apparently copyrighted image to Billie Piper (it even says the url of the page he got it from in the image) and I wondered what the appropriate deletion tag would be for it. Oh, this is the image. Lovely, no? :) digfarenough (talk) 13:52, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh, by the way: that image is not work safe :) digfarenough (talk) 14:10, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Martians band deletion

I understand the consensus for deletion of the article, but refer to the notability guidelines:

  • Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...).

They were the subject of articles by The Scotsman and The Herald (national UK newspapers) and also a release by UP that was picked up as widely as the Washington Times and North Korea Times.

  • Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.

See "David Sneddon", ex-member (and present collaborator), winner of Fame Academy in the UK

  • Has won or placed in a major music competition.

See "The Highland Quest For A New Musical" - winners with "The Sundowe"

  • Has been the subject of a half hour or longer broadcast on a national radio network.
 Two appearances on BBC Scotland's "Radio Cafe"

Composers and lyricists

For composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists:

  • Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a musician or ensemble that qualifies above.

John Kielty and Gerry Kielty of The Martians have both written lyrics and music for and with David Sneddon (see above) and his band "The Sham" which have been released and charted in the UK and abroad.


  • Has written a song or composition which has won or placed in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers.
 See "The Sundowe", winner of the Highland Quest as noted above.

I trust this is enough to meet the notability guidelines. I have the original article stored should it have been permanantly deleted.

As an aside, I know you do a lot of good keeping the dross out of wikipedia, and well done :) This article deserves to be there though :) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Geoff.robbins (talkcontribs).

[edit] August Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: To-Do List
The Esperanza To-Do List is a place where you may list any request, big or small, for assistance. If you need help with archiving your usertalk, for example, all you need to do is list it here and somebody will help you out. Likewise, if you need help with some area of editing on Wikipedia, list it here! Again, any matter, trivial or not, can be placed on this page. However, all matters listed on this page must not be of an argumentative nature. You do not need to be a member of Esperanza (or this program) to place or fulfill requests on this page. If you don't have any requests, consider coming by and fulfilling a few! This program has not been very active, but has lots of potential!
What's New?
In order to help proposed programs become specific enough to make into full-fledged programs, the In development section of the proposals page has been created. Proposals that are promising, but need to be organized in more detail are listed here. Please take a look at what is there, and help the proposals turn into programs.
To improve both the layout and text of the front page, in an attempt to clarify the image of Esperanza, the front page is going to have some redesigning take place. Please take your creative minds to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Front page redesign to brainstorm good ideas.
Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.
  1. In order to make sure all users who join Esperanza are welcomed, a list of volunteers who are willing to welcome new Esperanzians is at Wikipedia:Esperanza/Members#Esperanza_welcomers. Please add yourself if you are interested; we want to make sure all new Esperanza members are welcomed!
  2. The In development section of the proposals page has been created.
  3. Proposals page: Some proposals have been moved to the aforementioned "In development" section, some have been left as a proposal, and others have been archived. For those proposals that were a good idea but didn't necessarily constitute a program, General Esperanzial Actions has been created.
  4. Two small pieces of charter reform will be decided on in a straw poll at Wikipedia talk:Esperanza/Governance. One involves filling the position of any councillors who may leave, the other involves reforming the charter.
  5. Until cooperation with the Kindness Campaign is better defined, it remains as a proposed program.
  6. There is a page for discussing the front page redesign.
Signed...

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

[edit] BigFooty Deletion

Hi, Fang Aili, you deleted BigFooty after it was tagged as a CSD, but it's still up on AfD and hasn't been closed. Could you please close the AfD? ColourBurst 19:14, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Cool, thanks a lot! ColourBurst 19:44, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Hey Fang Aili!

Thanks for your note. So nice of you to check in on me! That seems really typical of you, though. :) Yes, the extra tools are nice. It was a bit scary when they first appeared, about a minute or so after Essjay left me a note on my talk page, but I've already gotten some practice in (although admittedly I haven't exactly used the tools for the backlogs I'd originally intended; I have been keeping down other backlogs, though! Yay!)

This week my compy is broken, so my time here today will probably be very short. Thanks for your note, good luck with your new coachee, and see you soon!

Happy editing! :) --Firsfron of Ronchester 20:45, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Happy belated first edit day! Here are some purple flowers (for some reason, I thought you like the color violet).

[edit] M'kay, I get it.

Yeah that's fine I guess, they weren't really notable. I guess I'm just interested in weird things. But oh hath the hammer fallen heavy on me! My first time ever contributing to Wiki and everything I contributed gets deleted! But I guess I'll take solace in knowing I wasn't writing articles about local wrestler done good.

Sorry for the inconvenience! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Time Traveller Register (talkcontribs).

[edit] Elizabeth Baron

You speedied this page after I nomed it, and it has been recreated. I've tagged it again. Thought you'd like to know. Akradecki 19:30, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Mike Ingalls

Hi Fang,

Could you double check that article for me? I just realised it wasn't the author's (User:Rosencomet) first article so it might not have been a db-bio after all. I do however remember seeing an (aka nickname) in it though. Thanks, Netsnipe (Talk) 17:12, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Howdy. It was "Mike Ingalls (AKA Lyrus Landholder or Puf)" etc. Actually looking over this again this guy might have a claim to notability. If the creator objects I'll restore it. --Fang Aili talk 17:15, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. The "AKA Lyrus Landholder or Puf" bit set off my vanity alarm straight away. Hmmm...restore and tag with {unsourced} or {notability}? -- Netsnipe (Talk) 17:20, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Mayday! Mayday! User:Rosencomet == http://www.rosencomet.com/ (Assoc. for Consciousness Exploration). Damn I hate coming across these self-promoters who copyvio everything. They ruin my day cause they're too bloody tedious to clean up. Time to AFD/SD everything. *sigh* -- Netsnipe (Talk) 17:29, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

OK. I've left a message for the festival director at User_talk:Rosencomet while User:Project2501a and #wikipedia are helping to take care of this self-promotion while I goto sleep. Cheers, Netsnipe (Talk) 18:08, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm still here

Just ... came back from a Wikibreak, then spent some time getting affairs back in order, then ... got sick. Sorry I haven't been around to help much with the Wikiproject lately. I'll be back ... eventually. theProject 23:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Life points

I created the article life points which was redirected to hit points. Life points, specifically the term used by college drinking culture, is a hypothetical measure of partying while the term hit points refers to gaming culture. This, I feel, is reason enough to have a separate page for life points, which are completely different than the page they redirect to. JW 21:40, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sex Symbols

Apologies, I may have went a little overboard with my own personal feelings towards certain individuals. However I still cite that Pat Kenny is indeed a recognised sex symbol due to the fact that his official site states it. I have added this under the external link section on his Wikipedia page so others who may not be familiar with Kenny's appeal in Ireland will now know more about him.

[edit] Reply

Hi! Thanks for your message. Sorry I didn't reply sooner, but I'm still relatively new to Wiki and haven't figured it out entirely yet ;). I'd like to join your Figure Skating project! And your Dance project as well, if that's ok. How does it work? Cosmic dancer 15:58, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dale Purves

Hi, I am working with Dale Purves and have removed any copyright infringing content in the submission that I made for him last week. Why was it removed? What is the criterion for this? I was directed by other administrators to the page and was told that when figures were removed that the entry would be fine. What is the problem now? There are no longer figures and the wording which I submitted was not copied directly from the Purves web site or any of his materials.

Sincerely, Robert--Robert 03:42, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ba River

Re [3], but it just a false bluelink, a disambiguation between two non-existent pages. I could have done the same - but you did not cure the underlying defect. - CrazyRussian talk/email 16:43, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Yes, I've seen the Russians do it, e.g. Znamenka. They're the only ones I've seen doing it. I think it's counterproductive to have this in our pedia. - CrazyRussian talk/email 17:02, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
I'd rather you reverted yourself, if you don't mind. - CrazyRussian talk/email 17:04, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] About my article about myself

I am being followed and can hardly go out without at least 10 people saying hello and asking for my autograph, can I somehow prove this to you so that you may remove the speedy deletion tag on the article about me? I felt it needed an article when even my dad has an article in the swedish wikipedia (he has played with many of the biggest jazz legends in the world). Only about 2 or 3 people greets him when he walks about a major city.

(got no other way of measuring fame so...) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vektor at oxo (talkcontribs).

anyhow, I recently saw my father in a big jazz encyclopedia (american). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Vektor at oxo (talkcontribs).

[edit] Thinner (Netlabel)

As a response to the deletion of OXO-Unlimited I now request you as an administrator to no treat the likes of me differently. Thinner (Netlabel) is just like OXO-Unlimited in your opinion a self-promoting article, and for me to accept your decision and respect you as an administrator I'd like you to treat it just the same, or allow OXO-unlimited to exist within wikipedia. Please restore my article or remove less notable netlabels. --Vektoratoxo 21:57, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Temp return...

to request redeletion of my user talk page which was remade by a since banned sockpuppet, and indexed on Google again, which I suppose is wonderful. Can you please redelete? Thanks. - Jjjsixsix. Jjjsixsix (talk contribs)

Done. --Fang Aili talk 18:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I can protect it against recreation, if you like. Let me know. --Fang Aili talk 18:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, that'd be sweet. Thanks for letting me hassle you again. - Jjjsixsix (talk contribs)
Done. I've protected your userpage as well. Let me know if you ever want it unprotected; right now only admins can edit it. --Fang Aili talk 20:17, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Matt and Ramona

You deleted Matt and Ramona. I was looking through the CSD category and saw this; they are afternoon radio hosts on WLNK. It seems like this article should have been kept and expanded, rather than deleted, since radio personalities seem to be kept more often than not. I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Thatcher131 (talk) 19:16, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't want it restored because I don't know anything about them, but I would expect it to be restored at some point. (It's a redlink on WLNK for one thing.) I'm trying to get a handle on CSD in general, and the use (or misuse) of A7 in particular. Obviously no one can know everything, so I don't fault you at all, and it was poorly written.

[edit] Stick Figure Empire

Sry i edited your talk page, thought thats how to get my message accross.

I want to know why u deleted Stick Figure Empire. Either Here, or in a message, or an email to khmi6@verizon.met. Preferably an email. If their is a copy of it, i want it. Why wan i not notified about it going to be deleted? WTF?!?!?! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TK002 (talkcontribs).

[edit] Stick Figure Empire

Ok, ok, ok, ok.

so what your telling me is-

YOU get to descide what articles stay or are deleted? does anyone have the power to overrule u? just because u dont think it has notablility, doesn't mean is doesn't. In china, maybe it doesn't, but in East Windsor, it does, sista.
