[edit] Removing links in Super Furry Animals

Hello, I'm new and don't know protocol here. But I noticed you removed the links I placed to Super Furry Animals sources, and no reason given. I wrote for their official website (superfurry.com), and have run a discussion list for over ten years, and the website that's been a primary source of info. I linked to the MySpace page I run which is functioning as an unofficial news source and temporary home of the website until it relaunches. --Karenzweb 03:55, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Editing under other names?

Have you used a different name to edit this encyclopedia in the past, or do you still use another name? Hipocrite - «Talk» 17:15, 16 November 2005 (UTC)


No, this is a unique user account. I have made some minor edits in the past as an IP address mind. Catchpole 18:02, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Is there a reason that the only interaction you have on AFD involves voting delete on school-related articles? Silensor 22:07, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Three reasons actually. Firstly I do not see any use in school articles being in an encylopedia. Secondly when I was first stumbling around the site I wandered across something akin to ballot box stuffing by those who want to keep schools and so thought providing a counterweight may be useful. I may prove to be mistaken on this point. Thirdly it's an interesting diversion during my lunch hour. Catchpole 22:19, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

I see. In that case, I am glad you now have something positive to do during your lunch hour. Welcome to Wikipedia. Silensor 09:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Jorge Burruchaga

HI there, I saw your changes to article Jorge Burruchaga, and I would like to ask to some references on the ban. I will revert your edit until we don't have those references to quote. Thanks, and good wiking, Mariano(t/c) 08:00, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

The problem is that I found several articles mentioning the scandal and Burruchaga's implication, but non with the actual ban in English. I added some online references (on the ban in French), but would like to ask you to add the title of the article of the When Saturday Comes reference. Thanks, Mariano(t/c) 06:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adding unimportant information

Please do not add information that doesn't have any value to an article as you did here. --mboverload@ 20:59, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Elio Camacho

Look, the first time around I forgot to add the reason to the prod. So why are you considering this a second prod? What's with the wikilawyering? Pascal.Tesson 14:27, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for being blunt but why are you being so dense about this. It was a good faith mistake on my part. There is no need to be so darn legalistic about it... Pascal.Tesson 04:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Krang (band)

I've decided to list the article for deletion. Just so you know, about.com is a mirror, so what you were looking at is an old version of the Music of the Netherlands article here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:13, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Just to let you know I've nominated this article for deletion. You can contribute your veiws at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2006_August_15#United-SF AndrewRT - Talk 21:09, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PROFTEST

Re [2], yeah, it's not policy - nor does it have to be for the prod to be valid! Do you actually believe he's notable, have multiple non-trivial works about this guy, or believe the current article is good for the encyclopedia? Besides, PROFTEST did not revoke WP:BIO, which is policy a guideline, PROFTEST is a harder standard for deletion to meet than core WP:BIO! So if I believe he fails BIO and choose to examine him under PROFTEST, which he makes no assertion of meeting - for this I am deprodded? I think you need to think more carefully about relating to your peers here on WP. - CrazyRussian talk/email 23:10, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Athletes

Thanks for helping out with articles about athletes! We have a neat template which produces the IAAF link, see for instance my edit to Kristof Beyens. Regards, Punkmorten 20:39, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Right in Two

The orignal WP:NOT a crystal ball proposal was because the original article had claimed that RIT was rumored to be the third single from 10,000 Days. I still think the page is skeletal and useless, so I'm going to nominate it for deletion at AfD. King Bee 00:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfDs

You seem to be closing AfDs - I'd like to let you know that that should only be done by a sysop, and i'm going to revert the edits. thanks, ST47Talk 20:51, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

was not aware of that, I apologize :( ST47Talk 20:58, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
You're correct that non-sysops can close consensus keep AfDs, but you may want to be careful about the timing, as they're supposed to run 5 days. Good luck! --badlydrawnjeff talk 02:54, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
I am endeavouring to only close AfDs that are nearing the 5 day limit that have not garnered any delete votes and at least 3 keeps from established editors. Catchpole 11:56, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
Which is fine, but keep the 5 day window according to the deletion policies and process in mind. If it's "nearing" the 5 day limit, it can't hurt to let it sit a few more hours to allow it to complete properly. Thanks! --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:06, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dave Price (publisher)

I have noticed when you closed the above AfD, you did not remove the category template, "REMOVE THIS TEMPLATE WHEN CLOSING THIS AfD". By deleting this when closing it pulls the discussion out of the category. I have deleted it from this discussion, but if you could review any other closures you have done recently and remove the tag from them it would be greatly appreicated. Thanks. --Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 02:06, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Seeking your input on a major project I'm about to start

Catchpole, I noticed that you spend a good deal of time, like I do, editing less-well known golfer and golf tournament pages. I'm about to start a major project- A list of Defunct PGA Tournaments- and would like your input. Please see my User page near the bottom for the concepts I have initially proposed.--Hokeman 10:55, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  • As far as sources go, I live in Florida about an hours drive from the Hall of Fame in St. Augustine. As big as that complex is, one would imagine that they have a pretty well-stocked bookstore there. I was thinking about checking there to start. If you know of a good source(s), I'm all ears. I noticed that some of the other golf editors - you, Tewapack, Dakpowers, Osomec - do a good job of find data on some of the lesser-known pro golfers.--Hokeman 21:20, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
    • I'll make a mental note of using the European Tour official site as a resource. Like you, I use the PGA Tour's website and what I find in a Google search. I also use golfstats from golfonline.com sometimes. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.--Hokeman 02:58, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Admin intervention against vandalism

Hi, thanks for your report, it is best to report only users who have had a final warning and continued to vandalise. Thanks, Rich Farmbrough, 21:34 1 October 2006 (GMT).

"Am I missing something" No, maybe I was. I'm reluctant to block when the user has been warned for their last act, so I missed the earlier "blatent". Regards, Rich Farmbrough, 21:51 1 October 2006 (GMT).

[edit] Steadman

  • I noticed you PROD'd some albums by the band Steadman. I de-prod'd them, as albums by notable bands are typically notable. If you feel the band is not notable, you should take it to WP:AFD and group nominate the album articles with the band article. Wickethewok 15:48, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm confused on to why you deleted and moved the Steadman albums, Catchpole. Could you please point me to where it states that albums must chart (/be notable) in order for them to have their own page? And I also agree that this should be group nominated as Wickethewok stated above. --MightyGiant 00:57, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ronnie Polkingharn

Being mentioned in some songs doesn't make him notable, it's the same reason Eminenm's daughter had her article delete, even though she's actually appeared in some of his videos and sung on one of his songs. TJ Spyke 18:43, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Catchpole -- I'm part of the Wikification Drive and as part of this project I found the article on Zak Sally, which you so kindly tagged in early September as needing wikification.

[edit] Rugrats episodes - prod

The reason why I applied the prod template to the Rugrats episodes is because they are not notable; i.e. non-encyclopaedic, and consist of an episode synopsis and nothing else - not merely because they are stubs. In fact, the reason that they are stubs is that nothing else can really be said about them. The only notable episode is All Growed Up, because it ties into the spin-off series. I intend to bring this matter to a full AfD debate. CNash 11:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Aberdeen F.C.

I understand the change from 'last half' to 'last quarter', as both are literally true. My thinking was that the period from 1980 to 1986 was exceptional, and represented overachievement against the norm. Prior to 1950, the club won nothing. Since 1950, the club averaged two to three trophies per decade; the 10 in the 1980s is not representative. Therefore the comparison was made with what a club of Aberdeen's size might be expected to achieve, rather than what was (over-)achieved in one particular period. Both statements are, of course, true. I prefer my original, but I won't revert it if you can convince me otherwise. Watty1962 23:10, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've put it back. Watty1962 17:36, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] David Jones

I don't think Man Utd really comes into this. If you're so worried about POV in the article why not edit it? At least leave a note on the talk page explaining why the article is NPOV with a slightly more coherent rationale than the one expressed in your edit summary. Because otherwise editors might check it over, decide it isn't a problem and quite legitimately remove the tag. Sure its been written by fans but its not the hagiography that some articles are.

[edit] Checkuser policy

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate the support. While I appreciate the hard work the checkusers go through, I find it extremely unnerving that this has become a process that is allowed to bypass all other levels of community consideration in cases of indefinite blocks of existing users (even long-standing, well-meaning ones). User:Tennis expert, even after excluding the expected levels of emotion in being the involved user, has some good points about being tried and sentenced without even having a voice. I don't see any on-wiki consideration of this particular case, so it really is quite a mystery where it was even first considered that his account may be a sock. In just a few days of clearing out backlogs at CAT:RFU, I have seen several checkuser-mandated blocks that seem less than clear-cut. Any ideas you have regarding this process would be helpful to me, as I am now very interested in figuring this out and working out the kinks. -- Renesis (talk) 21:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Macedonia (terminology)

The template has been "fixed". Unfortunately it is vandalised again every half-hour or so (by a different user each time, so blocking users isn't really helping). We can't just keep it redirected all day while it's on the main page. If you're still seeing the vandalism, it's because your browser has cached the vandalised version; refresh the page and/or Bypass your cache – Gurch 12:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Macedonia (terminology)

Dude, what are you doing... don't redirect the page, you're not saving it from vandalism, actually, what you're doing is as bad as vandalism. Just use the revert function to undo malicious edits, redirecting doesn't help, actually, it only prevents the article from displaying and is not a measure against vandalism. Thanks. Todor→Bozhinov 12:51, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Huh... you go to the template history and revert there. Redirecting to Macedonia does no good, people are expecting to read the FA here, but I can understand your logic to an extent, although I don't approve it. Todor→Bozhinov 12:56, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
The vandalism was more complex, it was on one of the templates that transcluded to that page. It took me a while to figure out which one it was and by the time I did someone had already fixed it. MER-C 12:58, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. From my view Calgacus seems not to be neutral, as he suggests I am more at fault as Ghirla. Wasn't that your impression as well? If you indeed prefer the neutral outside view, perhaps you could consider reading ones by Elaragirl, Biruitorul or Kusm, which from my perspective are truly neutral (my favourite being of course K. Lástocska's, but it is not neutral, just as I think Calgacus' isn't). Of course I respect your judegement and the time you took to read up on my RfC so far, and I am perfectly fine if you think you've said enough.-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  18:06, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Rachel Marsden sources

Hey there. Glad to hear someone's going to try and sort this article out; I had a few sources that I had planned to work with, and placed links up here for anyone who wants them. It's not really much; her webpage, her Toronto Sun column list, an IMDB entry, and a search of O'Reilly's page to indicate that she had appeared, I believe, 16 times on his show at that time. Like I say, it's not huge, but it's something to start with. There's lots of media coverage as well - unfortunately, it's either not online or it's unavailable without purchase, and I'd have to wonder if it'd be accepted anyhow. Good luck!

[edit] Anne Milton

It wasn't consensus, there were good points put both sides. No consensus = default exclude, in cases of links to attack sites on WP:BLP articles. But on mature reflection the problem comes form its being referenced in the para on minor spats in the election; that is now far enough in the past that the whole para can go, which makes the link unnecessary as supporting data. It was trivial stuff anyway. Guy (Help!) 09:23, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

JzG is lying. There was clear consensus to include the paragraph and a link. See this mailing list post. Fys. “Ta fys aym”. 09:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
So as the thread shows, there were opinions on both sides, and the support for inclusion at all was weak at best and solely on the basis of the supporting para on the trivial mention of the dispute during the campaign (needless to say Fys' summary of the thread is out of line with that, I wonder why he linked ot his summary and not to the head of the thread?). Solution: remove the trivial mention, no problem. Majority <> consensus, as Fys should know since he was a sysop once. He was desysopped before WP:BLP I think so may be less up to date on the current feelings re living individuals and the care which must be taken there. Guy (Help!) 11:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article deletion

Perhaps, but it was also two sentences long. I personally don't feel that two sentences stating her birthday and her position in the band is quite enough text to qualify as a stub. If you disagree, you could always find another admin to undelete; it's not something I'm going to fight about.--§hanel 08:45, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Thank you

Sure thing! It appeared rather straightforward that notability had been asserted, and I welcome you to add or re-add content to the articles gaillimhConas tá tú? 22:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your evidence on the Daniel Brandt deletion wheel war RfAr

Your last diff link is wrong; it's a duplicate of the previous one. --cesarb 19:54, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I have fixed it now. Catchpole 20:04, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I removed your speculation about Gaillimh. Generally, if someone has elected to m:Right to vanish and change their name, we should not be publishing that person's identity. I assure you that the arbitrators know all they need to know, and if they want to disclose the information (assuming your guess is correct) they should be the ones to do so. Thanks.

I endorse what Thatcher131 says. I happened to see your evidence before he deleted it, and was actually wondering whether or not to revert it. I don't know what reason Gaillimh had for changing his username, but it may well have been because someone had made a connection between his previous name and his real life identity. People may argue for or against permitting an administrator to change username quietly, but if he does do so, and if you feel that something regarding his previous identity is relevant to this arbitration case, you should submit the evidence by private e-mail to the arbitration committee. I believe an arbitrator has already suggested to Gaillimh that he (Gaillimh) might consider allowing his previous identity to be made known, but if he doesn't do so, and if the Committee doesn't decide to overrule his wishes, then other users should definitely not be posting such evidence in public.

I sent a very similar statement of the evidence deleted to the ArbCom mailing list three days ago - see [4]. I recieved "Thanks for bringing it to the attention of the whole committee." from FloNight as a response, so I presume they got it. Just as a note, and cheers, Daniel Bryant 08:17, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Alan Mcilwraith

Please think carefully before recommending an article for deletion, as you did with Alan Mcilwraith. As the comments at [5] show, there is a strong consensus in favour of keeping the article. Recommending an article for deletion without clear grounds leads to unnecessary work for other users.--Ianmacm 13:21, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

See WP:AGF. Catchpole 13:23, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

The decision may have been in good faith, but has little to recommend it.--Ianmacm 13:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] your restore

Please revert it, I explained all my reasons on the talk page.--Urthogie 16:29, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

I'll bring back the fact tag, but I'd like you to remove the rest of your edit per the talk page.--Urthogie 23:32, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] any ref better than no ref?

Hello. You reverted my edit to Critical Mass in which I removed a link to a forum as a "reference". You claim in the edit summary that "any ref better than no ref". I have not heard of this on WP, and I'm wondering if this is simply your opinion, or if you could point to a WP policy page (or perhaps a discussion of the issue) that supports your claim. In my edit summary, I specifically indicate Wikipedia:External_links, links normally to be avoided #10, which clearly indicates that forums should be avoided. With forums as our basis, we could add all kinds of garbage to WP, and I'm sure that is not your intent. Cheers, Doctormatt 23:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
