[edit] Brice Carrington

I'm not quite sure why you persisted in deleting the Brice Carrington page while I was writing my defense, despite the fact that I had posted a holdon tag, as specified in Wikipedia policy. Seems like you could have waiting five minutes for me to finish typing. Regardless, my argument was thus:

This page has been flagged for speedy deletion as an "attack" page. The reason that I feel this is not an attack page is because the evidence can be independently verified. He has been quoted in major publications as a sound designer for films. Credits for these films can be independently verified. Since he has been able to pose as a an impostor on a public stage, this article provides evidence that can hopefully be used by future journalists in order to verify his authenticity. I think this is important, but if it's deemed an attack, I will certainly understand. Anyway, it would seem that you're going to keep deleting it, regardless of whether or not it is factual, so I'll just stop posting. --Omeomi 20:29, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

I didn't delete it. I did, however, tag it as an attack page. I felt (and still feel) that it was outside the realm of appropriate biographies for living people. If you can provide third party sources that exhibit a neutral point of view, the issue can be re-evaluated, but as it is, I agree with the administrator's decision to delete the page. Philippe Beaudette 20:41, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
Brice Cariington had no involvement in the films "Fantastiv Four" and "Spiderman". this is verifieble by contacting the Post Production sound departments at 20th Century Fox, And Sony Pictures Entertainment. I have personal spoken with him regarding his claims, and he denied making them, saying that he makes sound which sound similar to sounds used in the films he speaks of- He also said that the autors of the articles who cited his claims spoke in error, yet no attempt has been made to correct the errors. His latest interview from 17, Feruary 2007 is as follows-

This is a character page from an anime that you are trying to delete.



[edit] Misys Healthcare Systems

Would like clarification as to why the Misys Healthcare System entry is flagged as "advertising" when it is nearly a duplicate of the format for Misys, plc Misys.

Wikipedia has guidelines for notability of companies, which you can view at Wikipedia:Notability (companies and corporations). I think were you to reorganize the material according to that, and include the missing information, it might be a step in the right direction. The other thing is that wikipedia generally requires that articles by written by a disinterested third party, which (based upon your username), you probably are not. Luckily, Wikipedia also puts a third set of eyes on this prior to deletion, and that administrator will consider your explanation on that page, as well as this one of mine. Thanks for your interest in this encyclopedia! Philippe Beaudette 21:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


Thank you for the explanation. I will read the Notability sections and peruse some examples throughout Wikipedia and rewrite accordingly. And I'm not a disinterested third party as you mentioned. I simply traverse this site often and have found references to our parent company and our competitors and felt that an article (written properly, of course) should be added to the site. Thank you again for your support and guidance for this! MisysHC 21:28, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Countdown timer

No problem. That was quite a little explosion of spam there... Best, Gwernol 00:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Capital IQ

I've made some changes to this page you marked to remove the advertising-ish wording of the page, someone else has removed the speedy deletion tag, but feel free take a second look and suggest improvements, thanks Evanreiser 22:22, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

I do so love breaking out the salt shaker. And thanks for your hard work -- I see your name around everywhere but never get a chance to let you know someone appreciates it. -- Merope 21:15, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

And thanks again, I didn't notice the username. Given that the creator also signed his messages as "Marc", the same name as the guy who invented the product, I'm going to leave that one deleted. -- Merope 21:36, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Uriah Rennie Show

Hello Philippe. Thanks for directing me to User:LiamSAFC's most recent transgression. He is this close to a indef block, but I'm hoping a week long block will make him realize that he isn't going to get away with this again and he will give up with this article. I'd prefer not to salt it, because in doing so it may actually provide his "show" with a better Ghit. However, next time he does it, if there is one, will be his last either way. Thanks again, and keep up the excellent work. Rockpocket 05:53, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Eurrrrghhh. (Re: Logo Creator)

I am just so not in the mood today. Wanna take it to AFD? If not, I will. Probably. -- Merope 18:08, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

You know, I'm feeling charitable... I'll Wikify it. Don't tell anyone -- I'll lose my deletionist street cred. -- Merope 18:13, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Well, there's hardly anything left, but I do think that saying something was the first of its kind is an assertion of notability. It's not a good one, but it's there. I'll add it to the watchlist and come back to it when I'm less grumpy. -- Merope 18:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What can I say?

I gotta lot of rage, and I take it out on NPP. You're doing a great job, though! I'm not sure how I feel about the {{badbio}} template--sometimes you just want to tell the kids to knock it off without being so helpful. Or I do, anyway. -- Merope 22:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Akhmim WOoden Tablet

The Akhmim Wooden Tablet permission to copy text from a blog has been placed (in general words) in the Akhmim Wooden Tablet talk page, as requested. Thanks for the heads up. Milogardner 18:18, 22 January 2007 (UTC) Milogardner 18:21, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Philippe,

It is an odd coincidence that the topic that you deleted today stressed a French Egyptologist, Georges Daressy, someone that died the year I was born. Are you not French? Humor pops up in the strangest situations.

It also appears that I have have picked up where Daressy dropped the ball in 1906, he not completing a task until Hana Vymazalova pointed me in the right direction in 2002, towards a hekat unity written as 64/64, and how all of the Akhmin Wooden Tablet was written. Best Regards, Milogardner 22:57, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Politics Now

Dear Philippe, replied to your response to the Politics Now (weblog) issue :) Best wishes, Macbeth2 22:40, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

Looked it over, and zapped it per CSD A7. So, in one sense, you were "wrong" in that I didn't agree it was spam, but in another sense you were correct in thinking it didn't really meet WP standards for inclusion. (I tend to reserve the spam criterion for articles written in the first person, using a lot of inflated language, or submitted by persons with the same username as the article subject. But that's just me.) -- Merope 00:20, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User Warnings

I just updated my toolbox with the new {uw} user warning templates. If you decide to switch to the new templates, feel free to borrow my code if you don't feel like typing all the danged things. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:20, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:CHAK 104 NB

You're right--it shouldn't be posted there, either. In cases like these, you can use the {{db-because}} template and just say "Deleted content posted on talk page". I'm not sure that there's a speedy criterion that really applies--CSD G6 comes to mind, though--but I'm pretty sure most admins would zap that kind of thing on sight. Especially since it's on the talk page of a salted article. Anyway, 'tis gone now.  :) -- Merope 13:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

If the article has been deleted, but the talk page is still there, wouldn't {{db-talk}} apply? Maybe I'm misunderstanding the sequence of events, but I've placed that for deleted articles' talk pages that don't get deleted simultaneously. Leebo86 13:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, y'all! Philippe Beaudette 16:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Leebo, shut up.  :) You're absolutely right; it can apply in this situation. There are exceptions to db-talk, apparently, concerning if deletion discussion is on the talk page, but ... yeah. I suck. I'm going back to bed. -- Merope 17:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Uh oh, it looks like my dastardly plan of undermining Merope is falling into place! :) On a serious note, does "deletion discussion" cover any discussion relevant to the page's notability? Or are frivolous notability claims generally excluded from that category. Leebo86 17:19, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Honestly, I don't know. It's something that gets kicked around on the CSD talk page all the time, but I don't think the language of the criterion gets altered. I think *serious* deletion discussion (such as accompanying an AFD, for example) needs to be kept, but not "This page is true! Billy is awesome!" kinda things. Of course, this makes the criterion subjective, which is not within the spirit of CSD. Oops. However, I have faith in admins and a good chunk of new page patrollers, and so I have no problem with it being a use-your-judgement kinda deal. So. Yeah. I usually nuke the talk page along with the article when doing NPP and CAT:CSD work, but that's just because orphaned talk pages really bother me. And because 90% of the stuff I delete is pure unadulterated crap. -- Merope 20:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
Only 90%? Damn, I must be looking at the wrong time of day, cuz for me about 95% of what I see is crap.  :-) Philippe Beaudette 21:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:The Elves Impersonator

Mind sending me a link to the AfD? I don't see anything in the page history.--Isotope23 21:32, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Recently deleted Userboxes

I noticed you deleted some of my boxes, which is fine. I'm fairly new to it so if I was making a mistake please let me know what it is and how I can fix them. Never done these before. Just trying to learn something new. Sorry for the problems that I may have caused. --Thunderstix33 11:25, 31 January 2007, CST

Responded on your talkpage. Box was fine, just in the wrong space! Philippe Beaudette 05:28, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
I think I did these right now. Could you take a look at them for me to make sure they are correct now? Thanks a bunch. --Thunderstix33 00:06, 1 February 2007, CST

[edit] Re: You are seriously fast

...everytime I go to speedy, you've beat me to a delete! You rock. Philippe Beaudette 06:05, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Ooh, thank you! I like to keep pratice with new page/ newbie's contributions patrolling. I notice that you have warned quite a few editors whose pages I have subsequently deleted. That's good work and something that I don't usually see. You keep up the good work too! This is my early morning patrol before work, so other admins will have to take over the deletion process now until I start the afternoon shift. Regards and good editing, (aeropagitica) 06:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

please do not delete the captain seven page, i will show verification of its importance ASAP.

[edit] speedy delete?

I believe that you should not have requested speedy delete for "Lenox Millionaires" as I was still editing it and finding more information.

[edit] Regarding your recent vandalism

Say, I didn't know you were black. I'm going to have to revise my mental picture... I was picturing you as Rupert Everett. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:54, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

You know, the funny thing is that I didn't know either! I think Rupert Everett is probably closer to the truth! Actually, I get "Matthew Broderick" a lot... but then, I don't particularly see that one either. Ryan had my back on that one, and it's appreciated! :-) Philippe Beaudette 20:10, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Well, my students claim I look like Harry Potter, but I don't think they're trying to be complimentary. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:16, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: YourSportsFan

Thanks! You're fast. Philippe Beaudette 07:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I do try whenever I am able! This wasn't a notable website and there may be a case for a WP:3RR warning to be issued if the article is recreated, pertaining to the text removed and reinstated. Regards, (aeropagitica) 07:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User Link Spamming

Hi, I saw that you were online through DLog. I wonder if you would mind taking a look at User:209.221.8.226? He appears to be link spamming articles. I've reverted much of it, but think he may need a block to keep him from doing too much damage. Thanks! Philippe Beaudette 23:11, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I've been thinking about requesting this… but I think I'll hold off, because I want to focus more on encyclopedia building for a while. It'd be harder to motivate myself to write articles with such an easy way to NPP at my fingertips :) Leebo86 20:33, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
You know, it's funny - I'm a much better patroller than I am writer, so this doesn't really detract me. But I can see where if I were more into the writing side I would feel just like you do. Philippe Beaudette 21:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Hey there - I added a justification to Maduro's page. I tried to best address the requirements for adding a musician or band. Thanks.  :) Kiaroskuro 03:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that if you'll move those references to the article (from the talk page), you're in great shape. Those look really good to me, and I've removed the speedy tag, as well as your hangon tag. Philippe Beaudette 03:46, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moose (drinking game)

Hi, please see the new comments in the AFD. Thanks --AW 16:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shocked

Hi can't figure for the life of me why you would want to delete the external link. The Link allows access to the community. A tool just like going to the cenus page for information. Here you can find out obituaries, births, barangay notices etc. No charges to use, or post. Insiston 10:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)insiston

Based on your username (which was incredibly similar to the link address) and the fact that the link didn't contribute greatly to the article, nor did it establish credibility to anything in the story, I decided that it looked like link-spamming, or advertising for the website that shares your name. The fact that your only contribution to the encyclopedia has been to add that link to multiple pages seems to cement that plan. Philippe Beaudette 15:21, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The username (and other) templates

On WP:RFCN you expressed an interest in the first of these templates:

{{subst:UsernameConcern|reason for objection}}
{{subst:UsernameDiscussion}}
{{subst:UsernameAllowed}}
{{subst:ArticleConcern|article name|nature of concern}}
{{subst:ArticleDiscussion|article name}}
{{subst:ArticleResult|article name|outcome of RFC}}
{{subst:ConductConcern|nature of concern}}
{{subst:ConductDiscussion}}
{{subst:ConductResult|outcome of RFC}}

You can click on the bluelinks to see the template texts and instructions. While there, you can click on the 'History" tab to see who contributed to them.

Remember to "subst:" these templates: this lets the auto-signature feature work right (so you needn't add the four tildes), and makes the message text (rather than just the template tag) visible in edit mode so the user can reply point by point.

Filling in the "reason for objection" or "nature of concern" lets you specify just what the problem is, for instance "I think this name too closely resembles the obscene word 'xxxx' in the 'yyyy' language." With the "article" template, you must enter the article name.

I hope you find these useful. -- Ben 22:13, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! I was impressed with the wording on the first of them. Philippe Beaudette 22:38, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Associate professors

Associate professors are usually considered N on WP--depends on how many papers, etc. (Asst. Profs.only sometimes, Full professors almost always) The speedy you just placed has been removed, and an explanation of what to do put on the talk p. You certainly may not agree, either in general or for this person. -- and AfDs usually have a minority saying NN in such cases.--you can and should take it there and join in the arguments. But speedy is meant for incontestable cases--"Where reasonable doubt exists, discussion using another method under deletion policy is recommended." & " If the assertion is likely to be controversial .. the article should be nominated for AfD instead."--though most of them recently seem to go to prod first. Speedies involving university faculty are almost always contested and controversial. DGG 08:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your input. It would be helpful if you could include a link to the article in question - I'll dig through contributions this afternoon to see if I can find it. That makes it easier to discuss the case more specifically. Thanks! Philippe Beaudette 14:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

Interesting that everyone wants to blast this guy, it seems almost fashionable and a number of folks are pissed off. But I know this, he only cliams to reproduce sounds for the films, not that he does them. I know the artices say different but I heard from the orses mouth when someone asked him point blank. I am sure there are some mistakes along the lines, but non of you folks who are gettig paid are getting hurt and ome drop the venom. He says he re create the sounds in films and sells them, which is not illegal or wrong. The credit is a matter of record. I hope none of you have a skeleton. -- —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Outsidethelines (talk • contribs) 21:04, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I guess I'm a fag?

It was sweet of you to remove the personal attack, but being called a fag is pretty much de rigeur. Never mind the fact that I'm female, or that I identify as straight. (Which, really, I'm kind of regretting, what with you and FisherQueen about.) Oh, and since this came up recently -- if you ever go up for RfA, let me know. You're probably not ready yet (just in the sense that the RfA crowd tends to be a mite bit overzealous when it comes to something that is not supposed to be a big deal), but I would definitely support you. -- Merope 03:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Aww, that's very nice of you (about RfA) - I agree that I'm probably not ready yet, but it's something I'd like to do at some point probably. But first, I wanna be sure that I'm not gonna do something really st00pid once I get there, so I have more to learn first. You'll be one of the first to know, my dear. Oh, and... come toward the dark side. Ask FisherQueen, we have more fun, and you can always count on us to be the life of the party. Philippe Beaudette 03:14, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popups issue

Hello - Thank you for your concerns - Yes, I noticed it too. It seems to be happening only when I use popups with IE6 (which I use at work), when I use them with Firefox, there's no problem at all.

[edit] Reply:Notability of FLHS Student Activities

I completely understand your concern about the FLHS Student Activities page...I created this page as an addition to the Fairfield Ludlowe High School page. It listed all the clubs of the school, and subsequent details. I was transferring it from a word document, in which the original information was stored. Once I would have completed the club list, it would have been linked to the Fairfield Ludlowe High School page. I hope I am able to continue with the list, and if not, please give me suggestions of what I should do....Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Interpolarity (talk • contribs) 17:18, 25 February 2007.

Generally speaking, you should use a subpage of your userpage (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Userpage#How_do_I_create_a_user_subpage.3F) to create things such as this, and then copy them into existing articles. That saves us from having a bunch of partially completed pages floating around in the mainspace. If you need help with this, please leave me a message on my talk page, and I'll see what I can do! Thanks, and welcome. Philippe Beaudette 23:57, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "PhilPhague" may have been an attack pun

From the archive of the PhilPhague username RFC: "it seems this isn't a username issue - or if it is, someone needs to spell it out for me, cuz I'm missing it." -- My best vague guess is some play on the word phage, essentially conveying "Phil the Virus" and thus an attack on Philip Gronowski. -- Ben 07:48, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Popups issue

I see you have run into the popups issue where it leaves the $ edit summary. Apparently it's a bug with some recent changes to popups interacting with IE6.0. It doesn't seem to be a big issue, as you mostly use VP. However, if you want to fix it, you can get IE7.0 or change back to the last version of popups - see User talk:Lupin#Getting "revision $1 dated $2 by $3".--Kubigula (talk) 04:54, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm actually on IE 7.0.5370 - I'll check into the new version of popups though. Thanks for the help! Philippe Beaudette 05:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding Penn Radio Entry

Recently you deleted the changes to the article for the radio show "penn radio" deeming the changes as not helpful. The changes were in the context of converting the show article to past tense, as the show has just today been cancelled from the CBS radio lineup.

The article should in fact be edited to reflect that the show is no longer on the air, and not be in the present tense. "The Penn Jillett show is" is incorrect. It should correctly read "The Penn Jillett show was" etc. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.8.111.37 (talk) 23:56, 2 March 2007 (UTC).

You're quite correct, and clearly that revert shouldn't have happened. I'm not sure exactly what happened there, but I apologize and hope you were able to revert it cleanly. Philippe Beaudette 01:29, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your message on my Meg(film) article changes

This is supposedly an encyclopedia, not a message board. I have changed the article back to the known facts that are relevant to the films current status. The things I removed are just hyperbole, and were just some MegHead's interpretation of some meaningless industry jargon. There is no film called Meg, so it doesn't even deserve an entry in the first place. Regardless, as I wrote in the discussion portion of that page, wishing or hoping a film is going to be made by a certain date does not make it so.As a matter of fact,New Line has yet again pushed back the film.Nanaharas 02:45, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

My concern is less with the film (never heard of it, don't really have an opinion) and more with the writing. For instance, the edits that I reverted included (among other things) the sentence "Meg is the title of an unproduced screenplay, currently still in development hell. The screenplay is based on the novel Meg by Steve Alten. "
Saying that something is in "development hell" is not encyclopedic, nor is it relevant. It is, in fact, pushing a point of view which is something that we frown on here...
Were you to rewrite the sections without the POV, I think all would be well with the world. Philippe Beaudette 03:18, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Development Hell is a commonly used industry term that refers to scripted projects that have been in turn around or been delayed multiple times for many years. I even link to it's page right here on Wiki that defines it (tho if I would change a couple words phrase suchs as 'never get made'). So putting Meg in that category is not POV. The MEG situation fits that description and falls into that category. In fact the Meg article page should be removed and a short write up on it put on that page instead. I'd do it but I have gotten a lot of flack for trying to 'clean things up' , so I hardly bother contributing here anymore. In many cases (the Teena Brandon page for one...first off Teena NEVER used the name Brandon Teena) , POV is mostly what that article consists of, yet even the mere suggestion that it be re-written gets all kinds of flack and threats.Nanaharas 00:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] You stole my cookie!

I was reading you page regarding a certain request for the speedy delete of a page I made, when I spotted one of you so called rules offering a cookie! Thats my stick! Why Philippe, why? Your page is very humorous. I thank thee for that. - Thekittenofterra 05:08, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Prod

Dude, did you just PRODwarn yourself? -- Merope 01:16, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
That SO was not supposed to happen. NPWatcher misfired. I've gotten so used to the other program (but I'm blocked since the username change) and obviously, I screwed up and hit the wrong button! I'm glad you noticed, though.... FisherQueen would have mocked me mercilessly. I love that about her. :-) Philippe Beaudette 01:19, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Ah, well, that was an easy problem to fix! I think you are approved now. -- Merope 01:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
For which one? VandalProof is the problem. :( Bless you for trying, you're a saint. Philippe Beaudette 01:24, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
I approved you for NPWatcher. I don't believe I can approve people for VP (though I could, of course, be wrong). -- Merope 01:28, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
You rock. :-) Thanks for the approval... I'll wait on VP. Have you used that one? It's seriously cool. Faster than NPWatcher, too. Philippe Beaudette 01:29, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Nope, never have. I do have the pretty rollback button, though.  ;) I tried NPWatcher for a while but found it was slower than I am. Plus, I couldn't tell if users had been warned before. Maybe next week when work at the office slows down I'll play with it. -- Merope 01:31, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
Best thing about NPWatcher is the AfD and Notify and Prod (and notify) buttons. (When some idiot doesn't prod warn himself). It automates that process, which makes it worth its weight in gold.

[edit] Rfa thanks

Hmm, your name is on the list. How far are you able to log in? Did you try the "remember me" trick? Prodego talk 03:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
But the 'Ch' and entering your password part works, right? Prodego talk 03:21, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Yep, that would be it. You were not on the old userlist (which I should go blank). Prodego talk 03:25, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Cleveland, Ohio

Dude, look at the diff, you reverted back the the vandalized version. I have (re-) fixed it. Caknuck 06:19, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry about removing the warning. I'd rather leave it up with the explanation than delete it and have people think I have anything to hide ;) Keep fighting the good anti-vandal fight! Caknuck 15:56, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
