Bellaire High

I provided solid facts for Bellaire High School; the universities and the 2006 economic challenge team facts are correct. Please don't randomly deleted important things like that.

It is unencyclopedic to put a link to the talk page in the article. The link to the talk page is always on top--Kungfu Adam (talk) 23:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Dune Quotes

Hi, I am trying to delete an article I just made in mistake (should have been in own namespace). You just reverted it (and a bot did it too) - I am trying to find the right process to get this deleted, but could you do it? You'll see the article has me as the sole editor and has no reason to be there (it should be Lundse/Dune quotes). Lundse 23:12, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

I deleted it after I saw what it was. Cheers!--Kungfu Adam (talk) 23:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Prod process?

Hi! I see you deleted the Buttrock page. I thought under Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion#Procedure_for_admins my discussion on the talk page was enough to keep it from being deleted until we resolved the question of notability. What more should have I done to make it clear I was working on this? Thanks, --William Pietri 23:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

It's undeleted, but I will send it to AFD.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 23:38, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the speedy response. If you think that's a useful step, by all means. I was hoping to get some music domain expert to take a look before pushing either way, but perhaps that will bring the necessary attention. --William Pietri 23:42, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Brazil Nut

Botanically, a coconut is a simple dry fruit known as a fibrous drupe (not a true nut). The husk (mesocarp) is composed of fibres called coir and there is an inner "stone" (the endocarp). This hard endocarp (the coconut as sold in the shops of non-tropical countries) has three germination pores that are clearly visible on the outside surface once the husk is removed.

Hello Kungfuadam - I reverted your copyvio notice on Açaí Palm (from http://www.recipeland.com/facts/A%C3%A7a%C3%AD) because the website is a mirror of Wikipedia. SCHZMO 20:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

OU article

Yah that was a bit weird. Saved the thing and a huge chunk of the article was missing! I was looking over the version after I hit "Save page" and I'm like wtf? I'm guessing my saving didn't complete and only send 1/2 the article :( I'd redo the revisions I made. -- Ash Lux (talk | contribs) 22:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Deleting of synapsen-page

Dear Mr. Kungfuadam,


is there any reason why you have deleted the "synapsen" page in wikipedia? I would be glad if you could give me a hint, especially why you do not delete pages of EndNote and other reference software as well. Thank you. Best,

Dr. Markus Krajewski

It was proposed for deletion and passed its time there. I have deleted it again as a recreated page. This was deleted as per policy.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 19:17, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

It has come to My attention...

Dear Kungfuadam, I am afraid that I must protest some of your decisions of late. It was brought to me by a student of mine that you deleted a page on a certain Infidel Iggens. I must protest this, it is a true article and should not have been deleted. I have also spoken to over this system of mail to others in league with you and your anti-Iggens cause. I have spoken also to (in person) the writers of the original article, a certain John Pape (WoodDaver) and Isaac Burgess Von Halburg (JizzyJonII). I told them not too post any such article without my checking it. However now having seen the original essay I say that these students should be unblocked and their article reposted.

Yours-- Prof. Jones

cc Alexis Wright


--Gene Chris Jones 21:16, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry- I don't even know what the heck an Iggens is. If you check the deletion log carefully, you will see I have nothing to do with it. You contacted the wrong person.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 21:28, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

deletion of Ah Cacao Real Chocolate SA de CV

Hello

I've managed to deduce that you deleted an article I submitted, Ah Cacao Real Choclate, SA de CV, but I am unable to find any information as to why.

Please explain. I am a new contributer.

Thanks

Rohan

Give me the exact title of the article please. By the name, it appears that is an advertisement, or a company that is not notable.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 23:36, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Mr. Kungfuadam,

could you be so kind not to delete the synapsen page? I have created it to help users worldwide while working scientifically with literature. Or is there any policy I have to fulfill (any bureaucratic application) in order to keep this page alive? Why was this page "proposed for deletion" and how can I avoid this.

Dr. Markus Krajewski

Thanks! Keep up the good work.

What you call spamming

Dear Kungfuadam,

I have not indulged in any spamming whatsoever, if you ignore the claims of a handful of people. One such admin had blocked me for what he called "spamming", and upon my explanation, soon unblocked me. Another great admin still did not pay any heed to my explanation and REVERTED all my messages on the people's talk pages. I have just finished hours of work rereverting them. These messages are for inviting people to Hindi wikipedia to contribut:it has 300 million speakers but only 1400 articles. People in India are used to the "normal" keyboard and cannt type in Hindi. Such inline mesaage is necessary for the survival of other wikipedias. I have targeted ONLY the native speakers of Hindi or others who, in their userboxes, have claimed a good knowledge of Hindi. Further, I have read the instructions about internal spamming, and my work is not at all the same. Also, I am myself an admin at Hindi wikipedia. PLEASE DO NOT RE-REVERT my edits.

The Now People's Wikipedia Page

"The Now People" Wikipedia page has been deleted. How can it be replaced? Was this done recreationally? For what reason was this page deleted. I tried to replace the page, but someone kept deleting it.

Thanks for the fix on the ArsTechnica Talk Page!

Dear Sir,

Thank you for undoing whatever the heck stupid thing I did (I think I was cutting the old "unsigned by" part and trying to add a real signature, which I too often forget to do. By the current mood of the talk page, some would probably have taken it as a malicious act on my part. --216.227.82.35 22:35, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Mountain Jews

Hi Kung,....and bom dia,

I'm glad I noticed you revised the article "Mountain Jews".As i'm French (nobody's perfect), I translated this article into english....but don't know how to shift the photos from the "english article" to "my" article: My article is :"Juifs Juhuro/Caucasiens"(in the French Wikipedia). So, it would be nice if you could help me cause I'm not very good at these technical "manoevers".. Thank you very much , obrigado muito, and.... Long live South Carolina....as I once "knew" someone very dear from Duke University, not far from yor state, maybe. ROGER--217.175.191.112 01:23, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Edit

My addition to the communism article is not vandalism. Revolutionary communism is a real communist group in Portland, Oregon. The beliefs are as such written. I should not be blocked and the changes should not be deleted.

The fact that it was an advert-looking edit, I deleted it. It appears that such a group is hardly notable and therefore meets the deletion (or reversion) criteria.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 00:50, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Spaced Out

Hey, Adam. I note that you deleted the article on the cartoon series "Spaced Out" as a CSD A7. As the first paragraph stated, and the external link demonstrated, this is an actual cartoon series, with 26 episodes, produced by an animation studio which - albeit relatively minor - has had many programs aired on major cable channels.

I'm not in the mood for a wheel war, so I'll ask you instead: do you agree that this deletion was in error and should be reverted? If not, why not? Thanks. DS 15:44, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I restored it but sent it to AFD.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 16:04, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

deletion

Hi there, my entry, titled 'zero influence' seems to be deleted by you. I can understand that as it wasn't complete. Can I recall the copy I added? I dont have a back up...

Thanks Dave

SORRY!

Hey KungFuAdam, Sorry for my editing attempt. I was unaware thet it would go on the whole site and that all could see it. I won't do it again unless I know how and I know what i'm doing. It was immature and stupid, and I can only apologize. Sorry again!--User:Sam Brown

SilverSpirit page

Could you tell me why the page on SilverSpirit was deleted, please?

A remix of theirs is out on single on June 27th, however I can hardly put that in a non-existent page, now can I?

I know the artists personally and they seem quite disappointed to have disappeared from Wikipedia and personally, i don't understand why the page has gone, though judging by your log, maybe you're a bit delete-happy!

Please read WP:BAND--Kungfu Adam (talk) 10:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

These are only rules of thumb and do not cover remixers, which SilverSpirit are doing more of at the moment; as I said, one of their remixes is due for release on 27 June. I don't think it's very progressive or forward-thinking of you to delete the article which I so lovingly crafted with their authority. As I said, they'll be disappointed.

Fair use is great, but there is still no source or copyright info. And there hasn't been since June 3, which makes this a speedy delete. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 13:55, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Nexus War

Um, why was Nexus War speedeleted? I got a chance to look at the template before you got to it, and the person who put it there didn't even give a reason. The game exists, it's got at least a few thousand players (I can't check right now because the site is down, but still) and it's perfectly notable.--Mobius Soul 20:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

The article in the form it was when I deleted it didn't establish notability.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 21:48, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I assume that means I can recreate it better and not have it deleted again?--Mobius Soul 22:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
It probably won't be deleted by me. But make sure that it meets the standards because someone else might delete it.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 22:19, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks a lot!

Thanks for reveting and blocking SVC, that was getting annoying. The Ungovernable Force 23:44, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Asbestos only known cause of mesothelioma.

Why did you revert? I am trying to help with an intro, and add info.

Well, it was a cut and paste job from [2]. Can't do that.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 00:29, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

not all of it, no. Please do not revert, but discuss first? I have added information from the EPA and many others, which you just deleted, for no reason! I am well aware of 'copying' but I am not doing that. Please bear with me. This is a subject important to me because (1) my dad died of mesothelioma and (2) I am an attorney and understand teh problem with fairly distributing the funds.MollyBloom 00:33, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

The statement about the first lawsuit in 1929 is a true statement, not just from this link. I have seen other links, esp attorney's links, that are incorrect. I first read about the 1929 case in the Reports to the Senate Subcommittee on asbestos related diseases, when my father died in 1986. Therefore, I know the statemetn is correct. I will also try to find the Senate reports, and wish I had kept a copy.

Please do not revert an entire section or edit that I have done. Give me a minute to work it out. You just simply reverted. MollyBloom 00:38, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I saw your last edit summary, that said it was a cut and paste from another editor. Also, so you know my position, I work at a plaintiff's law firm as well ;)--Kungfu Adam (talk) 00:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks! I was in the processing of editing it - should do it offline, i suppose. I sure wish I could get my hands on that report I read in 1986. That is when I learned the first lawsuit was in 1929. I have spoken with claims counsel, who also reinforced my memory of the article, that attorneys agreed in settlement to pursue no further litigation ag/ the corporations. When I first read this article, like the tort reform, I was in awe of what a POV it was for 'tort reform' and a bashing of lawyers. It is horrendous. MollyBloom 02:09, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Why Was The Wikipage "Boing!" Deleted?

All I got from the deletion page was an incomplete message:

16:11, 29 May 2006 Kungfuadam deleted "Talk:Boing!" (content before blanking was: 'While considered to be a good idea, the Boing! Collective has recently been the subject of criticism from the Salt Lake punk and liberal community. Th...')

Is there a way to view the entire message? I readily admit I am new to Wiki, however I would like to see the logic behind something being deleted.

--thecause 12 June 2006

It was proposed for deletion and was uncontested for five days. This is the deletion policy.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 00:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

My Article

Why did you delete my article "Mosqutio Ringtone"? Did you check the external links I gave, it is indeed real, it was in the news today[3]. Just because you may have not heard of it does not mean it does not exist.--GorillazFan Adam 00:55, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou for putting it back up. --GorillazFan Adam 01:06, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hey, I was checking the net for my articles about The Mosquito Ringtone and I found out it is apparently better known as Teen Buzz, I am not exactly sure how to rename an article and was wondering if you could do it for me. Thankyou in advance.--GorillazFan Adam 01:46, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello Kungfuadam, and thank you for your support at my request for adminship, which ended with an awe-inspiring 86/1/2 result. I plan to do much with my shiny new tools - but I'll start slow and learn the ropes at first. Please deluge me with assignments and requests - I enjoy helping out.

Kungfuadam, thank you very much for your support in my recent Request for adminship, it passed with a final tally of (65/3/3) - which I find both amazing and humbling.

Deletion of Category:Islamophobia

Did you actually read what the reasoning was? The actual result of the renaming discussion was unanimously for renaming. I've renamed the category accordingly see Category:Anti-Muslim sentiment and now all that needs to be done is for this now renamed cat to be deleted. Please see User:Vegaswikian's commentary here. Thanks. Netscott 18:21, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

It's true that the first CfD resulted in no consensus for deletion but the second CfD for renaming was unanimous. Even the Islamophobia category's own creator (User:Bhouston) voted for renaming. Netscott 18:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Reverting Gay Nigger Association of America

Sir, I have noticed that you have reverted my edit of Gay Nigger Association of America. If you had noticed my changes to the article, and not assumed that I was a troll, you would have noticed that my edits were in good faith, and for the better of the article. It is in this time that I remind you to assume good faith. As you are an admin, I should expect this from you! (as I do) :-) Jmax- 11:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I was wondering if, in the spirt of your orange status, you might be willing to withdraw your AfD nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Algy the Blue Bus so it can be merged with the larger article mentioned there without having to discuss it for another week. Thanks! Kafziel 12:13, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Let it go through the process. Before it was relisted, and it got only two votes. At this point, after the re-listing, it appears the consenus will be merge.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 12:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
My point was that it doesn't need consensus (unless you're opposed to merging it), but it's fine either way. I just thought it was kind of silly to have a two week long discussion about a cartoon bus. :) Kafziel 12:44, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
I am not opposed to merging it, but really the discussion didn't begin until today (the 14th, when it was relisted.) Certainly it will be merged now, just let it go through the process, it's not harming anything.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 12:46, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I've blocked 64.72.127.155 (talkcontribspage movesblock userblock log) indefinitely as an open proxy. In general, the addition of backslashes before every apostrophe in an article (or section) is a very strong sign of a particular kind of buggy open proxy, and IPs making such edits may be permablocked on sight.

Blocking User:194.8.54.250

I gave a block of 24 hours because of a shared IP, while, almost simultaneously, you gave a block of 2 months. I understand your motives for such a long block (an even longer block would be deserved), but this is a shared IP. Such a long block will hurt other users, who are not at fault. Anyway I leave it up to your judgment to keep the block of 2 months or diminish it. In my view, shared anonymous IP's should be banned from editing (and certainly if this concerns a school), forcing users to register. But this is quite an other matter.

fairline yachts

Hi I am a boat enthusiast and just created a page for quick reference for other enthusiasts like myself.I based it on the sunseeker yachts page. Id was not an advertisement and gave little or basic information on the styles of boats that they produce. I did include a picture and also a link to the main company website. Could you please restore the page? the page was: fairline yachts. the page was far too ameteur to be considered an advertisment in my view and i have no affiliation to the company other than owning and enjoying one of thier products.

Melissa Rochelle McGhee

Hi Adam. I noticed that you recently deleted this article. I am not sure that it matches A7, as there is an indication of notablity (i.e. being a finalist on American Idol). I would suggest that this should perhaps be AfDed instead. What do you think? Cheers TigerShark 13:40, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Doesn't that fail notability requirements?--Kungfu Adam (talk) 13:46, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Probably, but notability itself is not a speedy criteria. The lack of any indication of notability for individuals, groups of individuals, bands or clubs is. Cheers TigerShark 13:49, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Mega 64

It seems I have made a bit of a screwup. I meant for Mega64 to have the history of Mega 64 merged in, and for List of Mega64 skits to have the history of List of Mega 64 skits. Looking at the edit history, it seems I added the db-histmerges to the same article twice (the second time overwriting the original).--Drat (Talk) 14:58, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

"Music Theory" entries

Kf, the "Music theory" sub-entries should be placed in their respective entries within Wikipedia, not under a specific entry about "music theory." This is important for at least three reasons: (1) the entries listed already exist elsewhere within the encyclopedia--thus, they are unnecessarily redundant as sub-entries; (2) for lay readers, the list presents itself as exhaustive, as if these are the issues and parameters with which Music Theory involves itself--obviously, this is not the case; and (3) some elements of these entries are inexact, incomplete, historically inaccurate, and stand in conflict with other entries in the encyclopedia.

My entries? I am just doing vandalism reversions. I didn't create the article.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 15:18, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

you recently deleted Proof by verbosity. can you tell me where is the AfD debate on that article?r b-j 16:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

It was proposed for deletion, and was uncontested- {{dated prod|concern = {{{concern|apparent neologism, Google test gives less than 100 pages, many of which are Wikipedia mirrors}}}|month = June|day = 4|year = 2006}}--Kungfu Adam (talk) 18:41, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
thanks for the info. i would have contested the deletion but i didn't know it was up for deletion. i thought it spoke of something real: a logical fallacy that tries to persuade by overwelming those considering it with such a volume of material that it sounds plausible, sounds well-researched, and it is so laborious to untangle and check everything that the fallacy is allowed to slide by. it is the fallacy depicted by the common quote: "If you can't dazzle them with your brilliance, then baffle them with your bullshit." that is what Proof by verbosity is and i remember the article differentiating the concept from Proof by exhaustion, which may be verbose, but is a legitimate proof. can such a deletion be reversed? (not being an admin, i can't access the now deleted history page.) r b-j 20:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Ok, well I undeleted it. Next deletion attempt should be done by AFD.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 22:45, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

FolioFN

Hello,

You deleted FolioFN but it does not meet any criteria for deletion. There is no deletion discussion page. Why did you take this action? Please explain your intentions so we can get this cleared up. Here was your description.

20:19, June 19, 2006 Kungfuadam deleted "FolioFN" (closing prod)

Uris 11:06, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Closing prod was the reason- we have a proposed deletion, where an article can have a proposed deletion tag for five days. If it remains uncontested, it can be deleted.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 11:07, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Is there a record of reasons listed for proposed deletion? I missed it and would have protested strongly. Granted it was a stub, but it met no criteria for deletion and left nasty red links at Financial services, Folio, Steven Wallman, James K. Glassman, and Low cost broker. Uris 11:19, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
The concern was that it doesn't meet the criteria per WP:CORP--Kungfu Adam (talk) 12:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Then please undelete the article, as The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself. For examples, please these works published by Forbes, Internet.com, BusinessWeek, TheStreet.com, and The New York Times among numerous others. Uris 13:16, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

John McHugh Article, Robert Waalk

I was just looking at the John McHugh Article, and when I went to edit what I wrote, and to make it more constructive, among other things, I found out I had been blocked. The reason had something to do with someone named dingding32. I've only been here several months though, and have only written several articles on Arkansas State Treasurers. I have no idea who this person is, and I only, in that talk page, meant to correct everyking a bit. I know that no one but me has been using my account, so I am was wondering what the problem was. 20:25, 20 June 2006 (UTC) Robert Waalk

Ross Petot

I noticed a stub article about this musician the other day and planned on adding to it and then it was gone. The article that was there wasn't any good but Ross Petot certainly is a notable figure in stride piano and ragtime and I don't quite understand why the article was speedy deleted because it wasn't utter nonsense and it was vandalization. Since the article wasn't voted on I wrote a whole new article about him and it was promptly erased! The reason given was that it was originally speedy deleted already. I don't get it. I am really miffed that all the work I put into this article is wasted because the original stub was deleted. What is the reasoning of this? Just because you never heard of this person or maybe never heard of stride piano does not mean that the article should be erased and never be seen again. Take a vote at least but now Wikipedia may never have an article on Petot because you erased the first stub? Please explain. Dwain 16:29, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

deletion of Community Air

You deleted an article as I was in the process of creating it today. I had only had time to enter one sentence before it was deleted. This was my first entry from scratch. I wanted to check with you and see if I started the artcle incorrectly this morning. The hint for the reason for deletion was "db-empty". Perhaps I should have made the initial entry in one piece. Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.Kdickson 16:43, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

You deleted my page unjustly

I complained about it and this is what was sent to my User page: Soapy 05:12, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

re: your comment on Wikipedia talk:Deletion process Edward Capehart O'Kelley was speedy-deleted by User:Kungfuadam. If you have not yet talked to him/her, I recommend leaving a polite note on the admin's requesting clarification. Looking at the deleted content, I understand why the tag was added but looking at the page history, this does seem to have been carried out a bit precipitously. We've been fighting a fairly persistent vandal lately and your stub may have just gotten caught in the crossfire.

If talking to the deleting admin doesn't answer your questions, you have the option to petition for a review of the deletion decision at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Rossami (talk) 02:05, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

(copy of what I wrote there) Edward Capehart O'Kelley (edit|talk|links|history|watch) was deleted by Kungfuadam (talk • contribs • blocks • protects • deletions • moves). You are correct that it shouldn't have been speedy deleted, as it had the {{hangon}} template, and has 2 existing article references. The Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion explicitly states: "Before nominating an article for speedy deletion, please consider whether an article could be improved or reduced to a stub. Also, please note that some Wikipedians create articles in multiple saves, so try to avoid deleting a page too soon after its initial creation." You are incorrect as to the place to complain. That should have been Wikipedia:Deletion review. Unfortunately these days, just re-posting the same article again is sometimes considered a form of vandalism, so complain first, and during the review the old article will be undeleted so everybody can see it. --William Allen Simpson 03:06, 23 June 2006 (UTC) And to follow up, don't give up quite yet.... --William Allen Simpson 03:13, 23 June 2006 (UTC) Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jeff_Soapy_Smith"

Sorry, judging by the one line that is there, it looks like patent nonsense. Anyhow, work on the page in your userpage, and when it gets to encyclopedic standards, you are welcome to move it into the article space. Sorry I didn't answer sooner, it was night in my country and I was sleeping!--Kungfu Adam (talk) 10:48, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, but this person will never meet the notability requirements of Wikipedia.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 14:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Kwin Alexander Dark, etc.

What seems to be going on there is that a group of people with their own 30-person RPG created Wikipedia articles for their own online characters. Those aren't features of the game, they're individual user accounts. This was discovered because Rubeus Stalker was added as a new article. I put in a "prod" on that article per WP:FICT. The "prod" was deleted. So I started an AfD on Rubeus Stalker, and then someone else pointed out in the AfD that these were just player accounts, which isn't obvious until you read Solaris RPG Online. So {{db-bio}} was actually appropriate. But there's no rush; "prod" will work. --John Nagle 17:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

your edits etc..

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalised, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia! —(Kepin)RING THE LIBERTY BELL 00:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

removal of TDW The Discount Warehouse

Hi Kungfuadam -

I was looking for the article on TDW - The Discount Warehouse that was on Wikipedia, and found that you had removed it in May 2006. Why?

Information on TDW is valuable to people who want to do business with it, or not. There are many postings on the Internet about this company, and most of them are negative. Letters have been sent from attorneys for TDW to several on-line posters, and this may be a free speech issue. Being able to find this information by more and more individuals is important because freedoms may be curtailed. Please reinstate the article on TDW.

Thanks.

You let editors claim consensus at the top of the page, regardless of an ongoing RFC, and then move my comments, but for some reason you intervene when I remove my comments out of protest as they are manipulated, and they are removed from where I place them.

The deletion of Evil's Return (manga)

I would like to ask for your reason to speed delete this article about 5 minutes after I created it, before I even had the time to modify the content in it?

I got permission from the organizations director public relations this morning to publish the revisions on Wikipedia.

If there are specific content items you would ilke edited, please point them out and I will invest further time and effort into avoiding any problems.

i was wondering why you deleted my rubes page? how is it nonsens? nonsense is when you cant understand it, it may not have any relevance to things that mattter to you, but it could be peferctly understood by anyone who would have read it.

Pagan Association UK

For some reason Pagan Association UK has been deleted. As it has more members and is nationally more relevant than many other pagan organisations listed, why is this so?

There was no useful information in the article to claim its notability.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 15:49, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

you have serious misconceptions

my apologies i forgot to sign my name here the messege.


what is nonsense to you? non-sense, doesnt make sense, cannot be understood. my rubes article could be understood by anyone, it may not be of any relevance to your life, but surely you could understand it? it may have been useless to you but i a sure tohers would like to see it.

alot of time went into that, please ensure you either think of an extremly good reply to this, or think before you delete next time. LiViT 13:23, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

I just received an email on OTRS about your block of User:Dickinsonre for his username. I understand why you made the block, but as far as I can see it is probably his actual name and thus it is not unreasonable that he should use it. I don't think offensive intent was meant.

it didn't seem to take, he's editing 2020 again. --Crossmr 15:19, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

that's because someone else blocked him for an hour. I will block another three hours.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 15:25, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Sancara Article

Might I ask why the article of Sancara was deleted, being it is just like all the other MUD articles, why would it be deleted? Tearstar 01:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

It was nominated for deletion- proposed deletion.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 02:42, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

What images are alowed on user pages?

Hello, Kungfuadam,

It it is not too much to ask, could you shortly explain what images are allowed on user page? The problem is that I don't understand much in laws of copyrights and don't have much time to read long descirptions. Could you suggest where I could look for images of free use? Juraune 10:31, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

The image you used on your page did not have a copyright tag for seven days so it had to be speedily deleted. The image was no longer used in an article.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 10:56, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Removing speedy tags

Are you an admin? If not, please don't remove speedy delete tags. Hamsa Yoga was indeed delete per Afd. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hamsa yoga. Thanks. —Hanuman Das 13:05, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I am an admin, I can delete that article then.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 13:06, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, you didn't even give me a chance to post the link to the AfD on the talk page! I guess I should have done that first :-) —Hanuman Das 13:13, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

List of political leaders widely regarded as totalitarian on deletion review

An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of political leaders widely regarded as totalitarian. 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. --Deathphoenix ʕ 14:29, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Kwin Alexander Dark prod, phony user edit, etc.

Just discovered that someone impersonated me to remove your "prod" on the Kwin Alexander Dark article. See Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#Phony account created to appear to be me. Appropriate action has already been taken. --John Nagle 19:39, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Hahnemann

May I ask why you deleted biographical information from the Hahnemann article? I am very puzzled...Hgilbert 21:54, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Lperez2029

While I don't agree with the speedy deletion, now that it's done, I wanted to alert you to the author's other articles: Emergency warning system for vehicles which was I tagged with db-empty but he removed and added text, and Intelligent vehicle technologies which I simply missed in the juggle. Note that he just recreated Electromagnetic Golf, but made golf lowercase (I already tagged with db-repost). --Fuhghettaboutit 23:03, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

I've had enough of his antics. I am going to block him.--Kungfu Adam (talk) 23:09, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
Seems warranted, he removed copyvio notices a number of times on one of the articles, before I took it to afd.--Fuhghettaboutit 23:20, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

dribble funk?

kungfuadam, Why do you keep deleting the article "dribble funk?" It is a legitimate article outlining a specific kind of performance method. It does not seem to be in conflict with any regulations on Wikipedia. Please specify... Thanks, ~FTBonnigan

Template:World Cup 2006 stages

Where do you see it used? --Pkchan 16:36, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Did you click What Links here?--Kungfu Adam (talk) 17:13, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Oops, sorry you did :)--Kungfu Adam (talk) 17:14, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
Yes, I did, and see only two links due to the merge request plus two links at user space, and no transclusion. Not an actively used template by any means. I think this template can be safely removed. --Pkchan 17:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Well, I would hope I never become as self-obsessed as to imagine myself as THE project... but a clever pun nevertheless! :-)

Anyways, thanks so much for the support on my recent RfA, which I'm quite happy to announce has passed with a consensus of 67 supporting, 0 opposed and 0 neutral. I'm glad I passed your criteria, and I'll be working hard to justify the vote of confidence you've placed in me. Let me know at my talk page any time if you have any comments on how I'm doing as an admin. Thanks! TheProject 21:48, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

Happy Holidays

Wishing you the best for the holidays and a Happy New Year! I want to thank you for your continued support to the project, and more specifically for helping me initially understand the Wikipedia system, which helped tremendously improve my articles. Best regards, --Lperez2029 19:28, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
