[edit] Articles for deletion/Crackahs

Obviously you didn't read the Wiki definition of a gaming clan. Right on the page it clearly states "These range from groups of a few friends to 1000-person organizations. Adinsx88 | (talk) 00:22, February 1, 2006 (UTC)

I know that, but it doesn't make them notable. Read Wikipedia:Notability for details. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:25, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (Untitled)

have you read the discussion page of the section the deleted section links to? The most likely explanation is that the Russian designers included the battle-damage as a bit of a joke, as they were aware they were otherwise totally copying the aircraft. _No one_ with any experience with aviation would think that a bloody patched hole was a design feature. This is just another example of anti-soviet sentiment that still pops up every so often. I will re-delete the section once you have responded.

[edit] (Untitled2)

KoH, I deleted that section of cargo cults for a reason: it is both irrelevant and absurd, as it has nothing to do with a religion or social practice, and is highly unlikely to be true in the first place. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 134.173.92.238 (talkcontribs) 23:47, February 4, 2006.

[edit] Vassilis Leventis (reporter)

Is this article REALLY patent nonsense? It's badly written, sure, but it does convey similar information to the Vassilis Leventis page. I'll not question the speedy since it's gonna go anyways, but it doesn't look strictly speediable to me... --Aim Here 01:37, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Anyways, it was speedied. You have to use your judgment now; if a hoax is so stupid that nobody's going to believe it, then it qualifies as nonsense. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 02:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your tag at Robert Baden-Powell's sexual orientation

I was disappointed that you chose to tag without comment, since it is impossible to refute. Please see [1] as an example of the fact that BP's sexuality is a topic of academic discourse (it is widely analyzed and debated). If you have further concerns, please express them. If not, I trust you will remove the tag (by the way, I apologize for my hasty message on the board there, I thought you were just another of the BSA people removing material they find objectionable). Haiduc 13:08, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

That's where it came from, where it was claimed that it was too extensive. You can't have it both ways. Haiduc 18:40, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
What do you mean by that? -- King of Hearts | (talk) 18:43, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
The article was a section of the BP page until the other day when a group of users associated with the BSA decided that it was overextensive and removed it. A small paragraph is left in its place, and the new article has been started. Anyway, your position that it is not important is untenable in light of the amount of scholarship dedicated to this issue (a number of major biographers have delved at length into the topic) and to the political importance and timeliness of the topic to a lot of people. Haiduc 19:15, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
What is a BSA? The disambiguation brings up many possible meanings. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 19:45, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Boy Scouts of America. I am disappointed that you would get involved in this discussion without seeming to have any familiarity with the topic. I am sure you are well intentioned, and I appreciate your doing patrol work for the Wikipedia, it certainly is necessary and important, but here I am afraid that you are off the mark. The move out of the article was the result of extensive debate, and your coming in at this late date without a knowledge of the topic or of the history of the discussions is not helpful. Upon what grounds do you base your statement that the topic is un-encyclopaedic? Haiduc 20:00, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
So it's not unencyclopedic, but it still should be merged, as info on a person are usually contained in the biography. When's the last time you've seen an article called Abraham Lincoln's log cabin? -- King of Hearts | (talk) 20:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, we are approaching some consensus here. The problem now is that at least on biography on the man runs to almost seven hundred pages, and probably over a hundred of those pages are devoted to discussions of his sexuality. This furthermore is a major historical figure who has created the largest youth organization in the world, as well as being important in British colonial and military history. You can have a number of articles all on Baden Powell, one on his military life, another on his personal life, another on his work with the boy scouts. It so happens that his sexuality is (obviously) of great importance to his biographers and to people interested in the scouts and their policies and politics and history. It certainly is discussed and studied and commented upon, both as part of his biography as well as for what it represents in the ongoing debate on sexuality and culture in the wider world. Does this begin to put things in perspective? And please don't introduce nonsensical examples here. I checked Articles in category "Abraham Lincoln". There are 54 articles in this section of this category. If you are going to debate please do so in good faith. Haiduc 20:16, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey, King of Hearts, I wanted to thank you for your support of my (unfortunately unsuccessful) request for adminship. The final tally was 37/16/5, which fell short of the needed 75-80% for "consensus". I don't know if or when I'll go up for nomination again, but even if I don't, I will try not to betray the trust that you and 36 others were willing to place in me.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grasshopper Takeover

Please be careful when tagging articles for speedy deletion and take into account WP:CSD. Articles about groups of people can only deleted if they don't make an assertion of notability and as WP:NMG says charting bands deserve an article, making the charts is certainly such an assertion. - Mgm|(talk) 13:43, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

If they say the band is charting but doesn't give any name or evidence, then it can be dismissed as speculation per Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 16:23, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jasenovac

The reason is valid to delete the passage about Peter Brzica (or peter quick) because he is a ficticious character and there is no mention in the article about this, it is stated as fact. To kill that many people in 12 hours, is impossible by a human being. Unless the Ustashi buit a Terminator type robot....

[edit] Math Of Quran

The information on Math Of Quran Article page was general knowledge about the Qurans Mathematical Structure, as is know one can claim it as there own creation, actually the same information can be found on this link as well http://pathtoheaven.blogspot.com and there are so many other sources that the same information can be found. I am new to wikipedia please tell me how do I publish common knowledge on the site without violating copyright laws. As far as I know religious knowledge cannot be copyrighted by anyone.

Thank you king of hearts

[edit] Re: Math of Quran

Hi King of Hearts Just now I got full authorization from the author of the above article to re-publish it. Now how do I prove it to you? I sent an email to him and he has replied back. Would this be sufficient?

Regards (Arsath 17:51, 14 February 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Re: Re: Math of Quran

Unfortunately, a Wikipedia article wouldn't be of much use if you just mirror another site; you should only quote a small section from another website (giving attribution of course) if it helps you explain the subject better. You could paraphrase an external article and give a source. -- King of Hearts | (talk) 00:03, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] (Untitled5)

Okay, sorry. I've never edited before and I was just making a joke about a rival school to show my friend online. I was planning on changing it back. However, my edit to the Oklahoma City article was correct. People around the rest of OK do not call OKC "the City", that is localized solely to the surrounding suburbs, the rest of us take offense to calling it "the City", The City has always, and will always, mean New York City.

[edit] Re: Math of Quran

Hi King of Hearts

Thanks for your previous reply, But still you haven't answered my question, now I have permission from the owner of the information to re-publish it. According wikipedia rules I am allowed to publish information if I have the rights or the permission to do so? Paraphrasing and taking just a part of the article wouldn't help understand the entire subject, because everything in the article is needed and all of it is useful information. Oh king of hearts please dont break my heart!!

[edit] Regarding a Vandalism Warning

Hello! Earlier today you added a vandalism warning to my IP for editing my user page. I had opened a new window to test my user page (which uses some markup that I needed to try out) and forgot to log in. Those two edits were done by me; both Webdinger and the IP you warned. Next time I will be sure to log in and add any associated edit summaries. Sorry for causing you any trouble!

Hi King of Hearts,

With regards to the Bakhtiari page you wrote to me about, I understand there is a problem with copyright.

However, the website www.latifrugs.com is mine and as such I am happy to allow wiki to have the contents on their site?

Or am I misunderstanding the issue?

Look forward to your reply,

Warm Regards

[edit] Hayes Forest Services Ltd.

Quite right, it wasn't vandalism at all. Thanks for correcting me. For some reason, some people around here seem to have an obsession with revising CSD -- last time I looked, CSD G3 included in its definition "...articles that consist solely of external links...", which would have fitted this article perfectly. But now the template seems to have been revised to just mean "vandalism", which I tend to put under CSD G1 anyway, but there we go. So yes, CSD A1/G1 is now more appropriate -- Gurch 23:27, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

I assume you are refering to the goings on at Republic (dialogue). I suggest you view the the article's discussion page and find out what's really going on. Numerous reasons have been given for the removal of this inappropriate paragraph, and everyone but the annoying poster agrees. --24.124.84.133 01:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Hi King of Hearts, I need some help with referencing in articles. Can we put the Bible, Tora, or the Quran as reference? As far as I know, these religious scripts are accepted world over by everyone who follows them. I dont see anything wrong in referencing them.. As everyone has to honor the others religion and beliefs do you think it would be a issue? Do you think it abides by the Wiki rules? please help me, I'd like to contribute relgious articles to wiki pedia. (Mystic 04:46, 27 February 2006 (UTC))
