[edit] Rail transport timelines category rename

Where was the discussion? Those categories are on my watchlist, but I didn't see anything posted to any of the affected categories. Thanks. Slambo (Speak) 18:09, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

The category was nominated and tagged on November 19 by User:Tim!. The discussion is located at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 November 19#Category:Timeline of rail transport. the wub "?!" 18:14, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks, just found it from a different link. I must've missed putting the root category on my watchlist. The new cat is on my watchlist now. B-) Slambo (Speak) 18:23, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clerk for Requests for Checkuser

Hey The wub,

I am messaging you to ask whether you would be interested in reassuming your role as a Request for Checkuser clerk. Currently, the clerk duties are being shared among three experienced clerks, and we have added two new clerks, who are currently in the learning stage. We are currently experiencing backlogs and long waiting times for some actions to occur.

As you are currently listed under "inactive" on our clerk roster, we're asking that if you are willing to resume these clerk activities, please leave a message on my user talk page ^{(quick link)}. A number of things have changed, so we reccommend re-reading Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Clerks/Guide. The guide is currently being rewritten, but the new and updated version should be available by 00:00 December 12, 2006 (UTC) at the latest.

If you aren't interested in being a checkuser clerk any longer, we accept your decision and thank you for your service; it would be greatly appreciated if you'd leave me a note that you're no longer interested. If you would like to resume your role in the future, but can't do so now, please mention so on my talk page, and I'll note this on our clerk register.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Daniel.Bryant ^{[ T · C ]}, Head Clerk, for Essjay (talk), 05:11, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] E. Normus Category

You removed Category:Fictional hero from E. Normus Johnson. I your editorial note does not make it clear to me why. Please respond to my talk page. TonyTheTiger 00:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Query

Hi there! I was wondering why you considered the CFD on Category:Episodic games to have no consensus, considering there were no objections after several weeks and the one comment said "I have no particular comment, though, on whether or not the category is useful. I'm just explaining what the category is presumably referring to." Sorry to bother you with this but I'm curious after your reasoning. Yours, (Radiant) 14:08, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

From your nomination statement I wasn't sure whether you had understood the concept of Episodic games correctly, and you didn't reply to Dugwiki's clarification. Normally I don't have a problem with discussions that don't have much input but clearly aren't controversial (e.g. your later nomination of Category:Romance games and others). But in this case when there was a possible misunderstanding I thought it best to not delete. I probably should have made my rationale clearer when closing, but was a bit rushed trying to clear the CfD backlog we have had recently. the wub "?!" 14:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for explaining. It's good to see the backlog shrinking so swiftly. I suppose I might renominate the cat at some point for future discussion, but it's not an issue I feel strongly about. (Radiant) 15:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Monifieth High School

What have you done to this page? i read ure explanation etc but I still don't understand what you've gone u don't SEEM to have done anything--172.201.95.101 20:24, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

You mean this? I just moved it from Category:High schools in Scotland to Category:Secondary schools in Scotland since it was decided at Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 December 4#Category:High schools in Scotland. Categories appear at the bottom of the page. the wub "?!" 20:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] spam

Why did you revert the db-spam tag I put on this page? Its a personal advertisement for his web site Islamcomic.org--CltFn 13:27, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Because it's his user page. Though I may dislike the site he links to, there's no problem with him having it there. Besides, not his entire page is spam. the wub "?!" 13:30, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
