SK Telecom Open

Well the decision may be more obvious if you see the deleted content:

'The SK Telecom open is a golfing event hosted by the South Korean cell phone company SK Telecom. SK telecom is part of a bigger branch of technology well known in South Korea. The golfing event is hosted once a year usually in South Korea.'

The decision to delete is not a decision that that topic could never be included - but the version as it is there doesn't give any reason as to why it should be in an encyclopedia and reads, basically, as an advert for SK Telecom. If it is part of the Asian pro golf tour I'm sure a good article could be written; but that's not it. --Robdurbar 10:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Do what you will; to be honest, I'm not really that bothered. If it gets recreated, that's fine by me. I don't pretend that every decision I make will be correct and I don't pretend that I will chose the right deletion justification every time. In the end, I normally look at at least 10 speedy articles a day; with that many decisions to make, I'm sure I make some errors.

I still don't paticulalry believe that an article written like that is worthy of inclusion and believe that any re-write would not include a significant amount of the current article for it to be appropriate to retain the current version (if you see what I mean). Looking at it, I do think that recreating the article is the most efficient thing that you can do here; but if you feel that for process and justice reasons a DRV is more appropriate, then I'm not going to stand in your way. --Robdurbar 11:14, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello Joe. I wanted to thank you with flowers (well, flower) for taking the time to participate in my RfA, which was successful. I'm very grateful for your support and thoughtful comments. I assure you I'll continue to serve the project to the very best of my ability and strive to use the admin tools in a wise and fair manner. I'll also try to curb my off-Wiki evil doing ;) Please do let me know if I can be of assistance and especially if you spot me making an error in future. Many thanks once again. Yours, Rockpocket 08:55, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Hi Joe, and thanks very much for your support during my recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of 64/0/0. I am grateful for the overwhelming support I received from the community, and hope I will continue to earn your trust as a expand my participation on Wikipedia. It goes without saying that if you ever need anything and I can help, please let me know. Wait, I guess it does go with saying. ; ) --cholmes75 (chit chat) 15:27, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Userbox GWS

Thank for replacing the code for secular humanism on my user page. I have been struggling with the deleting admin over the past week to get back the code but to no avail. This solves everything. Cheers -- _└ ^VodkaJazz / _talk ^┐ 23:24, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your input!

Thank you for taking part in my RfA. The RfA was not successful, mostly because I did a pretty bad job of presenting myself. I'll run again sometime in the next few months, in the hopes that some will reconsider.

In the meantime, one of the projects I'm working on is A Wikimedia Administrator's Handbook. This is a wikibook how-to guide intended to help new administrators learn the ropes, as well as to simply "demystify" what adminship entails. If you are an administrator, please help out with writing it, particularly on the technical aspects of the tools. Both administrators and non-administrators are welcome to help link in and sort all of the various policies regarding the use of these tools on wikipedia in particular (as well as other projects: for example, I have almost no experience with how things work on wiktionary or wikinews). Users who are neither familiar with policy or the sysop tools could be of great help by asking questions about anything that's unclear. The goal is to get everything together in one place, with a narrative form designed to anticipate the reader's next question.

A second project, related but not entailed, is a book on wikimedia in general, with a history of how various policies evolved over time, interesting trivia (e.g., what the heck was "wikimoney" about?), and a history of how the wikimedia foundation itself came about and the larger issues that occurred during its history (such as the infamous "Spanish Fork").

Again, thanks for your input on the RfA, and thanks in advance for any help you might be able to provide for the handbook. --SB_Johnny|^talk|_books 14:47, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Shiny new buttons

RFA Thanks

Thanks!
Thanks for your input on my (nearly recent) Request for adminship, which regretfully achived no consensus, with votes of 68/28/2. I am grateful for the input received, both positive and in opposition, and I'd like to thank you for your participation.

Wow... nice. - crz crztalk 19:46, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

"should I ever succeed at RfA"... ready to try? - crz crztalk 19:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Lee Isaacs

What gives I have never gone through as much crap in my life This guy didnt even give me 2 minutes befor he threw a block on it. I think he is just lazy on my talk page and on the article Lee Isaacs itself you can look at the history. He just slammed it No wonder there are vandals agains these guys I dont blame some of it at all the frustration is beyond me I feel road rage at this point. can you help I have the whole article intact but cannot upload any of it at this point. Is there a way I could send it to you or you show me or tell me what to do? Artsojourner 18:17, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

XPLANE page

Jahiegel, Sorry, don't know what blanking means. But XPLANE is a registered trademark and a real company. I have asked for recommendations on the talk page. I don't know the proper solution but I submit that re-direct of a page where there has been an article since 2004 is the drastic measure. Please educate me, I'm a newbie. But please don't re-direct the page without at least leaving some explanation on the talk page. Jahiegel, please show the courtesy of explaining your actions in plain english. I am not a vandal and simply request reasonable discourse. Dgray xplane 07:21, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply Joe. I will try to figure out how to do an RfD. This week has been an education for me :)Dgray xplane 07:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Update: I have listed the redirect for deletion as you recommend. Thank you for your explanation and thank you for taking the time to educate a newbie.Dgray xplane 07:50, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion review

Thanks for the heads-up. The article was blatant spam, pure and simple. - Lucky 6.9 07:33, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

ST47

What's the point on the question, Joe? You're giving him an opportunity to disavow his endemic failure to properly interpret A1, G1, and A7? He will, I am sure. It's not like any clarification is necessary: behavior is entrenched and is no fluke. Just evaluated all the declined CSDs in his contribs and make a judgment on that basis. No need to engage in long drawn-out discussion about it. - crz crztalk 22:54, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

XPLANE deletion review

Joe, Would you mind weighing in on the deletion review for XPLANE at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 November 24? Your comments/opinions are much appreciated.Dgray xplane 16:18, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Relocated debate

Joe, The debate has been relocated to Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Header_tags. If you have substantive commentary please respond there. TonyTheTiger 20:51, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Oh, the humanity! I had my doubts about a second RfA, but even I couldn't have predicted the way it caught fire and inexorably drifted to the ground in flames, causing quite a stir on its way down. Still, it was encouraging to see the level of support and confidence. Thank you for yours, and I hope I'll still have it the next time around. Kafziel Talk 14:11, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your consideration and comments

Thanks for your consideration, suggestions, and words of support at my RfA, which did succeed. I hope to take the words of support and concern as well as examples from fellow editors and administrators as I learn the ropes. Any further words of advice are much appreciated! Thanks again, and forgive my use of this dorky message box :) -- Renesis (talk) 01:10, 30 November 2006 (UTC) P.S. I am very, very impressed with your method of RfA consideration. What field of study are you in? Your methods and descriptions remind me very much of the words of Immanuel Kant I studied in college. (Hope that's not offensive!)

Having now read your hobbies (writing libertarian political philosophy) and that your ideas have been compared to Ayn Rand, I'm guessing the above comparison was more likely offensive than flattering ;) However, I was comparing your writing/thinking style more than philosophies. -- Renesis (talk) 04:31, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Sir Charles Broccoli

This kind of patent hoax article should be a speedy delete as G3 vandalism, see WP:VANDAL, joke or hoax articles are vandalism. This is just an attempt to exploit the CSD "hoax exception", which was never intended to be a loophole for vandals. Also, don't forget Wikipedia:Ignore all rules.

Brandenburg AFD

Hi Joe,

You made a good point on the University of San Francisco alumni page. Would you check this AFd. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Bryan_Brandenburg

Compared to most http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Computer_and_video_game_designers Brandenburg is ahead of the pack.

Thanks in advance.

Speedy Deletion

The reason I tagged it was because it basically said "He's a bassist of this band," which I just didn't really think cut it. --Averross 15:09, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Please check against WP:MUSIC. --BrownHairedGirl ^{(talk) • (contribs)} 12:42, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Your note

Thank you, Joe. But perhaps it's not that some sense has found its way into your head, but into mine! (unlikely, I admit) ;-D SlimVirgin ^(talk) 22:20, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Your input would be appreciated at this Request for Comments. Kelly Martin (talk) 17:02, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

I just wanted to thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which was successful. I'll do my best to wield the broom wisely! | Mr. Darcy talk 18:28, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for voting

Thank you for voting in my RfA which at 51/20/6 unfortunately did not achieve consensus. In closing the nomination, Essjay remarked that it was one of the better discussed RfAs seen recently and I would like to thank you and all others who chose to vote for making it as such. It was extremely humbling to see the large number of support votes, and the number of oppose votes and comments will help me to become stronger. I hope to run again for adminship soon. Thank you all once more. Wikiwoohoo 20:08, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

David Ruben RfA

Jahiegel/Archive 8, thank you for your support and kind comments in my RfA which passed on 13th December 2006 with a tally of 49/10/5. I am delighted by the result and a little daunted by the scope of the additional tools; I shall be cautious in my use of them. I am well aware that becoming an Admin is not just about a successful nomination, but a continuing process of gaining further experience; for this I shall welcome your feedback. Again, many thanks for supporting my RfA, feel free to contact me if you need any assistance. :-) David Ruben 02:08, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
