[edit] qwerty7412369

Why did you delete my three articles:

  1. 07:23, 27 June 2006 Harro5 deleted "Barenblatt v United States" (CSD A8.)
  2. 07:23, 27 June 2006 Harro5 deleted "Burton v Wilmington Parking Authority" (CSD A8.)
  3. 07:22, 27 June 2006 Harro5 deleted "Trustees of Dartmouth College v Woodward" (CSD A8.)

These are legitimate articles concerning key Supreme Court Cases and were created from my personal notes from a graduate course in Constitutional Law I took last fall. I searched for these articles in Wikipedia and found that there were no pre-existing articles with these titles, so I added them. Please let me know what the issue is. Thank you.

[edit] Toren Stearns

Why do you keep deleting my article? I'm sory that there aren't any articles about him on google. I have met and interviewed him several times, how do you want me to prove it. I'm just trying to expand Wikipedia, I love to read it and it's a very valuable resource. I just want to give back with something I know and am passionate about. Please quit deleting my work!

[edit] clan CHAOS

Dude!, stop deleting my article, I am the leader of clan CHAOS and I have the right to make an article about my clan, the first page was short and I plan to add more with time, YOU ARE ABUSING YOUR AMDIN POWER!!!

[edit] Clinton

Why did you remove the timeline from the mainpage (for a subpage) but not insert it there?

[edit] Hopkins School FAC

Hi Harro! Thank you again for your assisstance and advice on improving Hopkins School, you really stuck with it even when I was a newb here on Wiki. I have nominated it as an FAC once again, and I hope the article is good enough to garner your support! Staxringold 16:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I'll remove the image if anyone else objects, but it bothers me that he gets to get three perfectly justified images removed from an article just because there could theoretically be a free version. Ah well, if others feel the same way I'll change it. Staxringold 11:51, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject NBL

Hey Harro5/Archive5

I am wondering if you would like to join WikiProject NBL. I believe that this is something that you might be able to help me with, by creating user boxes and player boxes for it or even adding articles about Players

Cheers

[edit] AFL season article naming convention

As a participant of WikiProject AFL I thought you might be interested in this. I have started a vote to get a consensus on the naming convention for AFL season articles. You can participate in the discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject AFL#AFL season article naming convention. Cheers. Remy B 13:11, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] History of Guatemala

Hello, The content uploaded recently on the History of Guatemala entry is part of a student wiki project on Latin American revolutions underway under my supervision at the University of Toronto. While the material was posted by a single student, Joanne Amaral, the work comes from a collaborative group that has worked hard over the semester to craft entries to address gaps in the wikipedia on the topic. I realize that wikipedia conventions were not followed and that some of the materials may not be appropriate for posting. However, to my knowledge none of the entries have been plagiarized. The students will be working to revise the entries and they will be uploaded at a future date in a manner more in keeping with wikipedia protocol. I note that the the user Joanne Amaral has been indefinitely blocked. What would be the process for having a user unblocked? Thanks for attention and apologies for the inconvenience Best, Derek Williams--Derek.williams 13:35, 16 April 2006 (UTC) University of Toronto

Thanks for responding--Derek.williams 21:47, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stalking

I suggest you write a article about it. You seem to do it . Remember Wiki is Grammar " suppose " to be a community where we all get around helping and adding. Not your selfless watching a user and changing all of his content when accurate because of your personal beliefs or personal agenda. Where your credit could be affected since users can collect this information.

Just some advice watch who you intentially provoke. BTW I have root already. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Nexus Goof (talk • contribs).

[edit] All Girl Summer Fun Band

I'd like to challenge the speedy deletion of All Girl Summer Fun Band. You were the admin who deleted it, so I came here. I can establish their noteability according to WP:MUSIC, and will edit the article to reflect that.

According to WP:MUSIC, one of the criteria must be met, and I can show that agsfb meet two of them.

Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...).

They've released both of their albums through K Records, an important indie label which was founded in 1982 and has had plenty of noteable bands, like Beck or Modest Mouse. http://www.krecs.com/html/artists/disco.php?interest=1

Additionally, their albums have been reviewed by both Pitchfork and PopMatters, which are both well regarded critics of indie music. I'm sure there are other places I could find them, but this should be more than enough to establish their noteability according to the above criteria. http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/a/allgirlsummerfunband-st.shtml http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/all-girl-summer-fun-band/all-girl-summer-fun-band.shtml http://pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/a/all-girl-summer-fun-band/2.shtml http://www.popmatters.com/music/reviews/a/allgirlsummerfunband-summer.shtml

Let me know. Arturus 18:33, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Old Skool Esperanzial note

Since this isn't the result of an AC meeting, I have decided to go Old Skool. This note is to remind you that the elections are taking place now and will end at 23:50 UTC on 2006-04-29. Please vote here. Thanks. --Celestianpower háblame 20:42, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deletionism

I noticed that in 2005 you deleted Informatica article without bothering to do minimal investigation (about a company with over 11,000 employees worldwide) and without due process (AFD). I find this attitude deplorable. `'mikka (t) 16:58, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Concerning the deleted article [List_of_news_aggregators], what is the justification for such action? What was wrong with it? You could at least leave a mesage about reasons in the associated Talk page. -- Anonymous coward, I guess ... 13 May 2006

[edit] WP A-League player project

WP A-League players


10% complete

Hi Harro5!

I just wanted to let you know about the big WikiProject A-League 2005–06 player project. It is an attempt to bring the articles on every player who played in the A-League in 2005–06 up to standard. Check out the main page for the player project to get the full list of players as well as useful links and stats to help out. Hopefully we can get the full list done before the beginning of the 2006–07 season. Don't forget to update the counts (they will automatically update the status bar) as you go. Thanks!

[edit] Featured Article protection

I'm not sure if you're aware, but lately there has been complex vandalization on any given featured article in which a certain user creates a thow-away sockpuppet in order to post personal information concerning a certain administrator in an edit summary. Every time the featured article is unprotected, the user returns and forces people such as User:Freakofnurture and User:Kungfuadam to go through the tedious process of removing the edit from the edit summary. That is why the featured articles have been semi protected lately. Cowman109Talk 01:26, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jessica Sutta

Hi,

The article Jessica Sutta was deleted and protected by you. I have just found on the talk page that a suitiable article has been posted to warrant edits to the page. Is it possible for you to make the article 'editable' again so I can place the article on the main page? Thanks! - Nick C 21:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dr. Michael M. Krop High School

Hello again Harro. I found this school as it was used in WP:BEEFSTEW. I noticed that it had gotten rather crufty and made the following changes:[1] [2] [3]. AAAAA (talk • contribs) has thrice added back this section, claiming that it must be there to make the articl relevant to Krop students; take a look at the history. What is your view on listing student names on Wikipedia? What sort of policy might apply here? I'm thinking Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information, but let me know what you think. — Scm83x hook 'em 22:52, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Esperanza Newsletter, Issue #3

The Administrator Coaching program is a program aimed at preparing Wikipedians for Adminship or helping them understand the intricacies of Wikipedia better. Recently, changes have been made to the requirements of coachees. Please review them before requesting this service.
This would be something like the Welcoming Committee, but for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. Some might like suggestions about how to learn vandal patrol, or mentoring on taking an article to featured status, or guidance with a proposal they plan to make at the Village Pump, for example. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins.
Stressbusters
The Stressbusters are a subset of Esperanza aiming to investigate the causes of stress. New eyes on the situation are always welcome!
Note from the editor
As always, MiszaBot handled this delivery. Thank you! Also, congratulations go to Pschemp, Titoxd and Freakofnurture for being elected in the last elections! An Esperanzial May to all of the readership!
  1. Posting logs of the Esperanza IRC channel are explicitly banned anywhere. Violation of this rule results in deletion and a ban from the channel.
  2. A disclaimer is going to be added to the Esperanza main page. We are humans and, as such, are imperfect.
  3. Various revisions have been made to the Code of Conduct. Please see them, as the proposal is ready to be ratified by the community and enacted. All members will members to have to re-confirm their membership after accepting the Code of Conduct.

[edit] Yo

Hey, you almost certainly don't still remember this, but back in December you deleted CEDA-NDT intercollegiate resolutions, one of the first articles that I created on Wikipedia. Admittedly, I knew almost nothing about Wikipedia at the time, and, given the crufty title and content, I can't blame you for the deletion. However, the article was not a copyright violation as intercollegiate debate resolutions are not copyrighted. The webisght mentioned is not commercial and certainly not the "owner" of the list of resolutions (Wake Forest is just the current hoster of the National Debate Tournament webiste). I was wondering if you could please userfy me the content as I think that it might be useful for a History of policy debate article or an Intercollegiate policy debate resolutions article. Although I haven't yet decided exactly how to use it (I almost certainly won't simply repost the raw list), but I think that I could find some use for this, and I don't want to have to retype the whole thing (or all the wikiformatting). Thanks, savidan(talk) (e@) 01:54, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of casualties of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan listed for deletion

An article that you have been involved in editing, List of casualties of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, has been listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of casualties of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.


[edit] Formatting User Pages

I like the format of your user page. I'm trying to work on mine, but all this code makes my head hurt. Did you set up your page the hard way, or did you use some kind of editing program, and if so, which one? --Bayyoc 17:12, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LOOK BEFORE DELETING!

You just nuked Humanism. --cesarb 02:02, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Fixed in under a minute. Harro5 02:03, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
    Sorry for screaming, I was just about to revert when you did it ☺. Looks like the restore undid a deletion of a copyvio in the history; finding out which revisions should be selectively deleted now will be a bit difficult. --cesarb 02:06, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
    Well, guessing a bit, I'd say the previously selectively deleted revisions were the contributions of 24.8.240.159 (talk • contribs). I do not see much need to redo the selective deletion if it's only that. --cesarb 02:14, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hopkins School

I just wanted to thank you one more time Harro, and let you know that Raul has chosen the Hopkins School article to appear on the Main Page on May 30th! Staxringold 21:21, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Plano FAC

Well, I just finished up a tough semester at the University, and I just got home. Indeed, I don't have anything to do! A Plano FAC might be a great project, but I have this constant feeling that something is missing from the article. I don't know if the PR covered everything it needed to. You've contributed to two school FAs. What do you think of Plano? — Scm83x hook 'em 04:43, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm doing some final work on PSHS before I take it in for FAC. Just wanted to let you know I hadn't forgotten your request :-). I'm also paying attention to this, which doesn't seem to be going so well. I will be checking out the Caulfield FAC shortly also, to see what issues you came up against. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate your Aussie eyes taking a look at my American wording. Please make sure that I haven't used any U.S. centric terms (and if I have they are necessary and well-explained). I appreciate it so very much. — Scm83x hook 'em 11:20, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blnguyen's RFA

Hi. I'm sorry but I don't understand your comment at that RFA. Did you mean to support? If you meant to oppose, could you perhaps be a little less cryptic? :) Thanks. --kingboyk 15:33, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not a "Yank". I'm English, and I've spent about 1.5 years in Australia. Still don't understand your particular brand of sarcasm though! :) Anyway, thanks for clearing it up. --kingboyk 09:34, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of known celebrity supporters of the Sydney Swans

I see you deleted this article... where is the AfD discussion? I'm interested to see the other editor's comments. Remy B 04:18, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

As far as I am aware, an administrator should only delete articles on the spot if it meets Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion. Which of these criteria says that identical information is justification for speedy deletion? Remy B 07:57, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Thats alright, I was just concerned that the AfD process had been skipped for no good reason. Remy B 09:34, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] RfA Notification

Hello! I noticed that you have interacted with user:Staxringold who is currently undergoing an RfA and thought that you might be interested in participating at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Staxringold 2. You have received this message without the endorsement of the candidate involved, and this is not a solicitation of support, it is only an effort to make RfA discussions better (for more information see user:ShortJason/Publicity). Thank you in advance for your participation. ShortJason 19:29, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Blnguyen's RfA

Hello Harro. Thank you for your full support and comic-relief at my request for adminship which ended at the overwhelming and flattering result of (160/1/0), and leaves me in a position of having to live up to a high standard of community expectation. You can see me in action and observe what then happened as a result. Naturally, if I make any procedural mistakes, feel free to point them out. I look forward to again working with you in the future. Blnguyen | Have your say!!! 03:56, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Dog Day Afternoon

Thanks again for the RFA nomination, things seem to be going swimmingly. As a sidenote: I recently nominated Dog Day Afternoon at FAC, and things are going all right (one support, one comment that seems to be fixed and will hopefully become a support, one oppose). The oppose comes from Tony who wants the article to go through a good serious copyedit. I was wondering if you could either give the article a copyedit or suggest someone who is good at that sort of thing. Thanks! Staxringold talkcontribs 11:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Removed the obvious unneeded links, will try to copyedit a little deeper late tommorow if my connection permits. However, I hope the article rises to the standard to garner your full support. Staxringold talkcontribs 19:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] FAC Candidate RGS Worcester

Hi, I've just added a fair use rationale to the image. Oh and thanks for editing the page slightly. One thing, I'd like to keep the infobox that is currently on the page, but what I'll do is add the parts of the standard one onto this non-standard one. I hope this may help you change your vote, if not I'd be happy to hear any more concerns you have. --Wisden17 09:45, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, what do you think of the updated infobox on the page, and of the improvements made overall to the page. Does it meet you FAC approval now? --Wisden17 23:48, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Eton College

Hi there,

I'd appreciate some help over at Eton College. An edit war is rapidly emerging between the proponents of two different sections of the opening paragraph: 1)The King's College of Our Lady of Eton beside Windsor, commonly known as Eton College or just Eton, is a prestigious and internationally known independent school for boys, which is often described as the most famous school in the world. [4]

2)The King's College of Our Lady of Eton beside Windsor, commonly known as Eton College or just Eton, is a prestigious and internationally known independent school for boys. Eton is often mentioned alongside Harrow School and Winchester College as one of Britain's three most famous public schools. It is considered by some to be the most famous school in the world.

Version 1, without the citation, was the original version until recently, when 207.172.223.214 inserted the second sentence in version 2, later adding the third sentence. I initiated a discussion on the talk page about this to which you contributed, and no-one at all has argued against my view there. As I'm not that experienced with Wikipedia, I wondered if you could tell me what to do next. At the moment it just looks like the page is going to continue to change several times a day, which clearly isn't desirable.

207.172.223.214 has also been persistently trying to insert some very POV material stressing Harrow's fame at Harrow School (e.g. here])., and it's clear to me that they have a strong pro-Harrow agenda. They've inserted the same statement at Winchester College as well.

All the best,

Raoul2 10:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Previous versions of old articles

Hi mate, was wondering if you, as an admin, have access to the past versions of deleted articles. If so, could you move the last version of the Tom Hawkins article (when it was about a footballer and not a redirect) to say User:Rogerthat/Tom Hawkins? Cheers, Rogerthat Talk 08:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Why did you delete the article on The Monolith Deathcult that I created it was a perfectly good article and you deleted for no reason. Leave me a message on my talk page to tell me what was wrong with it. -- Metal Maiden 01:05, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Family law in England & Wales - FAQ

Hello. You just deleted Family law in England & Wales - FAQ, created by User:Kittybrewster, with the reason of "CSD A1", just as I was about to tag it with {{prod}} as "Original research by definition; violates the legal disclaimer." As you can see, I do not object to the deletion per se, but I am concerned that you saw fit to speedy it - it was definitely not patent nonsense, but a very intelligible (if unencyclopedic) FAQ on various legal issues. As such, I submit to your consideration that ordinary deletion procedures ought to have been followed here (WP:SNOW notwithstanding). Best, Sandstein 10:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I misread G1 for A1. Well, I wouldn't have thought of reading this criterium in that way, but you're probably right. I at any rate won't mourn the passing of this FAQ. Thanks and sorry for the hassle. Sandstein 14:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] My RFA

Thanks
Harro5/Archive5, thank you for participating in my RfA. It passed with an amazingly unopposed 77/0/1. Thanks for the support everybody!

Hi, thanks for taking the time to delete the article War for the throne. I didn't expect an administrator to delete the article so quickly. I didn't even know it qualified for speedy deletion; I just put the prod tag in the article.

[edit] Deletion of article 'Vince Peart'

Hi Harro,

Was just hoping to get some sort of explanation as to why you deleted this article? At first it ewas tagged for lacking imprtance but after talking to the person who placed this tag he made some investigations and removed the tag. It seems strange why you would delete this article without even having a discusion on the subject? I worked hard on the article and would just like to know why you have gone and taken away my work without any consultation whatsoever?

[edit] Plano Senior High School FAC

Just wanted to let you know that I have started up Plano's long awaited FAC here. I really appreciate all of the help that you have given me on the article, being the first one to push me towards FAC and the first one to even notice the article! I hope you will support and help me fight off the objects! — Scm83x hook 'em 08:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Trosley

My article was NOT about the "local hero" hockey player. George Trosley is a notable cartoonist and artist whose work has been published regularly in CARtoons Magazine, several other motoring magazines, and Hustler; he also has a book How To Draw Cars that was published. I'm not sure if you deleted it, but a search for the name George Trosley only brought up your talk page archive. I didn't want to re-create the article and risk having it speedied and protected. Could the last version by me be restored? If you still think it needs to be deleted I'll happily put it up to AfD scrutiny. — AKADriver ☎ 17:53, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Opera Ischia

I see you questioned the importance of this. I also questioned whether it was an advert, but the tag was removed anonymously. What would be the best way of handling this? - Kleinzach 00:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Tephra (band)

Hi!

I created a page for a german rock band called "Tephra" today. I'm just wondering that you have deleted it. Is there anything wrong with it? Please tell me if I did anything wrong or broke the rules.

[edit] Kenneth G. Ross

Dear Harro5, from all of your hard work, I am assuming that you are well-known to, and have lots and lots of influence with those at CGA and, especially with Ian Wilkinson and Don Wirth. I have a request for you that you may be able to respond to, and I am making it directly to you on the basis that you are so web-savvy and so Wiki-savvy.

As a consequence of my trying to correct a serious and long-held misinformed view in relation to 'Breaker' Morant (film) and Ken Ross, I have also added certain things to the Kenneth G. Ross article and it suddenly struck me that the article would be very greatly embellished if a photograph of Ken was placed within the article about him.

I recall that the Schoool magazine in 1957, 1958, or 1959 had a stupendous picture of Ken finishing an 880 in CGS athletics uniform with David Clark's dad standing at the finish post. (It might have been a meeting that CGS had competing with Glenhuntly Athletics Club ??)

It was such a tenacious finish by Ken and the picture is a wonderful token of his courage and determination. As I recall, the picture was taken by Don Wirth (and was, I suppose, the only picture that I have ever seen of Don's that was better than his photograph of "Cheese" Harrison in full flight as a bowler).

My request of you is this: are you able to check whether the CGS archhives, or Don himself, holds a copy of the picture, and could you with al of your skills and savvy, engineer things such that the picture can appear at Kenneth G. Ross. I would be really grateful if you could. I am a long way from Melbourne, and it would be awfully difficult for me to be able to do such a thing myself (especially since I really don't know how such things are done).

BTW, relating to the discussion on Nanjing -- and I remember Simpkin well, and he drove you mad with his constant "When I was in China" -- did you know that the R.H. Mathews, which the CGS discussion page mentions attended the Elsternwick Congregational Church in King Street (which was the same church that Chris Christiansen's (alumni) father served as the MInister)?

Anyway, "Thanks" in anticipation, Lindsay658 06:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Whedonesque "importance" tag

Please see my comments on the Talk page for Whedonesque.com in response to the addition of the tag.

I don't think it warrants the "importance" tag (the tag has always had this implication to me of "I think this article should be deleted as non-notable", though I'm not quite sure why, given the seemingly neutral wording...), but I'm not sneaky enough or annoyed enough or whatever to remove it, despite not seeing how it somehow comes off as "unimportant". I tried my best to indicate why it was notable - it's a frequently-cited, obviously incredibly well known website within all of the Joss Whedon-created fandoms, which Whedon himself (whose works are almost across the board critically-acclaimed, frequently best-selling, and rarely less than significant, if not downright influential cult hits, with both the Buffy/Angel and Firefly series having influenced science fiction and fantasy series that came after them, including the Emmy-winninnew version of SciFi Channel's Battlestar Galatica, which directly takes its filming style from Firefly's as well as using many visual effects methods that were ground-broken, if you will, by Firefly), uses to post news and comments on the canonicity of certain releases, things he quite often does not post elsewhere before he posts it on Whedonesque.

But, I'm going to be redundant here. I have an explanation on the Talk page that has further details to support my claim that the article does establish the site's obvious notability, just not in any greater detail than you'd expect from a stub (which is why it IS a stub). If you feel the need to discuss it further - for instance, advising me on which ways it manages to (to you at least) not convey the site's importance, or whatever else you feel should be brought up.

I just really wish you had posted to the Talk page. I would suggest that any time you mark any article with a tag, you post briefly to the Talk page explaining why you tagged it as such, because it would clear up a lot, believe me! :)

Apologies ahead of time, by the way - I was caught a bit off-guard by the unexplained "importance" tag, so I may or may not sound rather snippy in my comments due to that and being rather tired at the time of writing, and I probably sound a tad defensive (mostly because, well, I am defending a position ;) ), and I may or may not come off as really overly-wordy and even snobby; this is the way I talk, so it's not like I wouldn't react to a lot of other similarly unexpected challenges (and defending a particular position as to an article's "importance" does feel like a challenge, in that it's challenging to do it properly) in the same way, and it if I come off as such, it's nothing personal, I assure you! :)

Basically, what I want most is an explanation of exactly what and why the tag was added, as the tag itself is very vague, especially in light of the article itself, I would say. If I know why a problem was perceived as existing, I may very well be able to fix it, or else find someone who could. Runa27 07:04, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Caulfield Grammar School

I made some changes overnight to the alumni list. I had already put come in a long time ago (e.g., Chris Christianson) long before I was registered. I note that somebody had complained in the past that a number of those listed came up as red, rather than blue, with the implication that they were not sufficiently famous. For example, you will find that Chris Gahan has been in local politics for a very, very long time. A very long time ago, when he was still a very young man he was mayor of Prahran. So, even though he may not be so important in a Global ssense, he is certainly a Grammarian that has served his community well. The same with Alastair Chisolm and the Elwood bank. Regarding Geoff Bade, I'm sure that you'll be able to find some sort of internet link that refers to his renown within the world of fashion. As a tip for you, you might find it useful to trawl through obituaries that are printed in the newspaper. They will often indentify someone as old CGS. If I ever recall any others, I will certainly insert their names, Cheers Lindsay658 23:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Jesse Dirkhising

Hi Harro, I'd like to invite you back to edit this article since I've noticed that you had previously been involved with it. It needs a lot of work regarding POV and I think you may be able to help. --Strothra 03:01, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Royal Grammar School Worcester

Hi, you opposed this article recently when it was a FAC. I've added a fair bit to it, and generally tidied it up. I've currently got a peer review open on it here and would welcome your comments regarding its chances for as a FAC. I'm not keen to stick it up again on FAC, only for it to be opposed again, and to have proven to have renominated it again too early. I'd very much welcome your thoughts on the article as you, and Scm83x seem to be the resident school article experts. I should point out that I'm hoping to get some pictures of Perrins Hall, which is mentioned in the article, added but that is about all else I've got planned. Although I may create a table summarising the houses section, which includes who it is named after and its colour. What do you think? --Wisden17 22:16, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Editing of Sentinel page.

Kindly stop deleting my alterations regarding the 02/03 changes to Editor selection in the Sentinel wiki.

[edit] A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Wikipedia:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower háblame 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] George Roper article

I am new to Wikipedia and as you know, I have created an entry for the British comedian George Roper. I am not, however, entirely sure where to place the information (reliable sources/verification). If you can offer me some advice I would greatly appreciate it. Sources for this article came from -

The Times (July 10, 2003) Lives Remembered: George Roper The Guardian (July 22, 2003) Obituary: George Roper The Guardian (July 17, 2003) Obituary: George Roper

The quote from Johnnie Hamp "it wasn't necessarily the gags he told..." is from: Manchester Evening News (July 02, 2003) <Comedians Mourn As George Has His Last Laugh>

The quote from George Roper "the rough and ready upbringing of Catholics..." is from the Liverpool Echo (June 1971) <Roperisms>

With my many thanks

[edit] Plagiarism?

How can you accuse me of plagiarism when my posts cite their source? Pistolpierre 05:17, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I'm not attacking Golbez

Golbez has a problem with me saying that the Nazi medical experiments are as appalling as the Final Solution. That is crazy. It seems like Golbez is a neo-Nazi if he has a problem with that. How can there be no mention of Mengeles and Hitler's order to destroy Germany under the "Legacy" section?

Also, the introduction section had no reference to Hitler's inbred geneology until my contribution. That is a fact. It is also from The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. How long before Golbez removes this?

[edit] Hitler's legacy

I'm sorry but it is regoddamneddiculous that the Nazi medical experiments are not mentioned in the "Legacy" section. If Hitler's legacy is his evil, and Wikipedia argues for dispassionately describing it, there is no excuse for this absence of historical fact. Since Hitler was inbred, are you claiming it is a POV statement to point this out? Are we not to make a statement on the fact that his parents were second cousins?

[edit] Gidday

was browsing around, as one does on wiki, and noticed your interest in politics. I am studying politics at SCU Lismore and find it very stimulating. My leanings are left , social democratic / Green. I wrote two essays this semester. one on west papua and Australias role in the Area, and the other on Chechnya and the rise of 'terrorism' there. I am impressed with your work, Keep it up.

[edit] Mistaken Cleanup

The cleanup you did on Piedmont High School, North Carolina was a mistaken cleanup I believe. Dan McHugh is an established comedian in America. He is not a top preformer, but he has preformed at sites all over the state. Sorry if you stil feel he is not important dtm17

[edit] M.U.S.H.A. Aleste

(Hi I'm new to Wikipidia) I having trouble trying to clairfy what the problem with this article. Originally I type the article for the title was called M.U.S.H.A. but relies that the game is actully called M.U.S.H.A. Aleste, so i change the title. However this created a new page all togather so I transfer all the data from M.U.S.H.A to the new page. I'm Sorry for any inconvince.

Hello,

I was wondering why you changed the template on the above page, since my issue was not with the notablity but rather with the fact that the content was copied from http://www.edbrown.com/cgi-bin/start.cgi/about.htm without permission. Travelbird 22:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oprah Winfrey sockpuppets

Hi! Just as I received your message, I made a post at Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Oprah_Winfrey_sockpuppets. Happy vandal-fighting! =) — getcrunk what?! 00:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

I think that Editingoprah and the other pack of users may be unrelated. Anything is possible, though. I really don't know/can't tell. — getcrunk what?! 00:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Glad to see the image issue resolved! I've archived (finally!!) and allowed section editing too. — getcrunk what?! 00:54, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Don't delete things you don't understand

you deleted the below articles. you shouldn't delete things you don't understand. those who know nothing understand nothing nor can they learn without attempting to learn new things.

  2. 22:07, 4 July 2006 Harro5 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Michigan Superfan" (CSD A7.)

As stated in the Talk:Michigan Superfan discussion, it was to be expanded on. Patience is a virtue that needs to be demonstrated and not thrown away into a trash receptacle with no regards at all. The article itself is valid and factual, and a mere steping stone in bringing forth important history relating to the Maize Rage organization. Lots of people can see it as junk, but then again there is alot of junk I see on wikipedia I care not about. However, I don't act brashly and discredit them as useless and violating wikipedia. open your eyes and see that without a seed, a tree cannot sprout from the ground, thus without a seed, information cannot grown and be expanded on so the world can see its beauty.

Bah, UofM always did think it was at the center of the Universe. Anyway, I've confirmed the use of a sockpuppet and blocked that account indef. The main account is sitting out a 24-hour block for sockpuppetry and disruption. Cheers, Mackensen (talk) 11:23, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] presidential rankings

you keep adding in the 'Noted for' column in Bush stuff about economic policies creating the largest natl debt in history, followed by an article. Instead, could we keep it simple, its a couple of stuff he's noted for, not a full biography. Something like "increased national debt", tax breaks. I'm not saying what you posted isn't true, I'm just saying it looks bias the way it is worded. And, if you look at it, basically every president has had the largest national debt in history, (you can slow it down, but it still is growing). 64.90.198.6 15:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)

My bad, you said deficit, and not debt.

[edit] Club Penguin on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Club Penguin. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review.

[edit] 2ndary school IB better than your proposed use of Aust school infobox on SGS

I disagree with your proposed use of the Aust school infobox and elsewhere. The current Secondary school infobox is used standardly across GPS, CAS and ISA schools and therefore should stay. It is the most comprehensive infobox there is as per my talk on the SGS page, while the Aust school infobox is quite limited in its capacities and not very streamlined.

[edit] Peer review

Hi!

I noticed you made a few comments on the Leicester Grammar School peer review (a long, long time ago) and wanted to say 'thanks' for the feedback, even if it is a little late!

I'll have to get round to it again soon,

[edit] Copyediting

Please be careful with changes made in copyediting. At Ros Kelly, you changed a reference to the ACT House of Assembly to the ACT Legislative Assembly. The original reference was indeed correct - the ACT Legislative Assembly was a completely different institution that did not exist until 1989. Rebecca 10:13, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] A-League 2006-07 Newsletter I

Introduction
The first ever Wikiproject A-League newsletter is here! The 2006-07 A-League season will bring the usual enjoyment and fanaticism that only football/soccer can create. This new season also means a lot of (currently-open) tasks that require completion throughout the course of the next 21 weeks.
Position Ladder
A Position Ladder will be placed on each team page, which will provide an up-to-date visualization of the current A-League standings. However, problems may occur when Position Ladders aren't updated with the new statistics that don't involve matches of the team whose page the Position Ladder resides on. To remedy this, a base Position Ladder will be created, which will be located at {{2006-07 A-League Position Ladder}} (link). Please update this as soon as possible after the match has ended, as this will keep the Wikipedia community informed.

A few notes regarding the base Position Ladder:-

  • Please do not substitute the Position Ladder template on the team pages, as it won’t get automatically updated if you do.
  • Please only update the Position Ladder at the end of a match, and if there is any large dispute about the result, do not add it, but instead wait for an official report by the A-League confirming the result.
  • When updating, make sure to adjust all of the below fields:-
    • The played field – add one (eg. 13→14 etc.)
    • Either the win, loss or draw field, depending on the result for that team.
    • The points field – either add 3 points (win), 1 point (draw) or leave the same (loss)
    • The for and the against section
    • Make sure you repeat this process for both teams – not just the team you follow!
Summary Tables
Each team page will have a Summary Table added to it, which will provide an at-a-glance look at the results of the team throughout the season. We ask that, at every chance you get, you fill in the results of these Summary Tables – it only takes a few seconds, but it will help keep the uninformed "in the loop" – it is an encyclopedia we’re writing, after all.

As with the Position Ladders, a few notes about the Summary Tables:-

  • Please place the winner in bold text (using '''winning team''').
  • With the crowd figures, please only place a comma if the attendance is over 10,000 people (eg. use 8648 instead of 8,468 and 11,482 instead of 11482).
