[edit] Your comments
Not sure how to leave a message, as I am still learning how to use Wikepedia...but I wanted to leave a message for you. Delete afterwards if you will. I read your comments on my recent contribution to the dictionary. I took offense to your unkind thoughts [1]. If my article does not meet requirements, that is completely fine--I am presently trying to source and reference my credits online, as many of my co-workers in my fields have done with their own Wikipedia pages. I completely accept criticism, but please do not make personal comments about my work for all to see in a non-constructive manner. It's unprofessional, mean, and was completely out of line. I take great pride in scientific studies of paranormal activities and hope I am making a contribution to this world by helping people to understand unexplained phenomena (or to disprove so-called "phenomena"). I also whole-heartedly support my line of work in the performing arts field...theatre is a great medicine for many people in whatever form it may come in.
If you expect the same respect from Wikipedia users, is it cool to keep your opinions professional and courteous and helpful to those who have submitted? That would be wonderful. Thanks. Sweetaurora 11:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there. I was not making a personal attack against you, I was pointing out that the subject of the article does not come close to meeting the importance criteria for biographical articles. If you wrote an article about yourself, you might want to read the vanity criteria. Feel free to write tons of articles, that's great, but writing about yourself is just not a good idea, as you have found out. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial 19:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- It looks like your comment met the criteria of a personal attack: "How about let's write about someone doing something important out there in the world?" is about what you said. I don't mean to be falling into the category you mentioned--I've had coworkers in both of my fields publish Wikipedia pages to back up our online contacts (it's perplexing that their pages are still up...!) I know my page is not up to par because I haven't been in both careers long enough to have numerous references. I understand why it's being deleted--I understand it doesn't meet the criteria. That's totally fine. I was only following the leads and suggestions of other Wikipedia pages (as well as other pages that mention my name--I thought that if other pages can mention my name, I could write an article for myself that linked back to those pages to back the info up..if that's understandable). I just wanted a simple apology for how you handled your comment, as it ridiculed both fields of work. Thanks. Sweetaurora 22:23, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- In response to your latest comment on the article, is that in itself grounds for deletion? I guess I'm just confused, since I know of others who have uploaded articles about their own work onto this site--would theirs be considered non-neutral as well? Sweetaurora 23:49, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
- I doubt if it's grounds for deletion in itself, it's just one more reason. Yes, anyone who writes an autobiography is in conflict of interest. The article should be either deleted, made into a user page, or entirely rewritten by someone who is neutral. And it should be rewritten only if the subject of the autobiography meets notability guidelines so that nobody nominates it for deletion. If you see an article that is an obvious autobiography, you can always tag it for deletion or put tags on it, such as {{autobiography}}, {{potentialVanity}}, or {{originalresearch}}. All we're doing here is trying to keep Wiki neutral and prevent spam and self-promotion. And I'd also like to add just once more that I never made a personal attack on you, as I do not attack other Wiki editors. I made a snarky and admittedly unnecessary comment about the subject of your article, not knowing that the subject was also the author. So don't worry, I have nothing against you, it's the material in the article that does not belong on Wikipedia. Anyway, cheers. - IceCreamAntisocial 00:04, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
- Apparently, the groups I belong to and work with do not belong on Wikipedia either, then? Just find it curious that their pages haven't been cited or deleted, if their material is not of Wikipedia's standards. Thanks for clearing this up. Sweetaurora 00:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kalinda Gray
Hi there. Your comment there was removed by an editor, as they were not necessary. Remember that, when talking about living persons, they may take offense. While I can understand making such statements (I am sure I have done some myself in the past), you must remember that, sometimes, these users truly don't understand the notability guidelines, and act in good faith. The AFD has been closed, and your comment shrinked to the minimum necessary. Please consider the etiquette next time you participate in a discussion about someone who appears to be non notable. -- ReyBrujo 05:05, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Hinagdanan Cave
Hi! Thank you for your edits/contributions. It's been awhile since the article has been a stub. Perhaps you can consider expanding the stub yourself? Please let me know...--Ate Pinay (talk•email) 07:30, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- Sure, I'll try to expand it. I'll see what info I can find. Cheers, IceCreamAntisocial 17:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] User:Whiteandnerdy37
This page was obviously not an attempt to create a user page, so I have deleted it. Please don't userfy pages unless you notify the owner and are sure that the page is intended to be a user page. This was a timeline created by a user with no other contributions; no reason at all to keep it around. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 09:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] AfD nomination of Brian Smith (photographer)
An editor has nominated Brian Smith (photographer), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Smith (photographer) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

[edit] Daughter Darling
Hi. Why did you put a prod on Daughter Darling? To my knowledge and according to the article, it does meet WP:MUSIC. Karol 12:32, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Esoteric Order of Art
Hello. You suggested that Esoteric Order of Art section should be merged to Tapani Mokko. That is not a good idea. Mokko is just a member in the Order and therefore does not represent the whole art movement. He has his own artistic endeavours which are separated from the EOA, but still he participates in the project of the order. I'll remove the tag and if you have guestions conserning this matter don't hesitate to contact me. Astbury 13:24, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
