[edit] Discussion about Congress

Would you be so kind as to go here and weigh in on the discussion? Thanks --Appraiser 15:45, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Overclock.net

I just need your opinion... What is the reason for you putting the deletion notice ? Thanks, f2002yann A.k.A [OCN] gravity

it's a non-notable web forum. see WP:WEB and WP:NN. nothing personal. also i would suggest siging your posts. use either ~~~~ or click on the cursive letters in the edit boxes above the window. --Tainter 01:53, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The Truth about Nanjing

Hi, I've improved the article you marked as crystalballing. Could you review it again? Thanks.--Daveswagon 05:58, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion nomination

Hi. I've replied to your speedy deletion nomination for A field guide to birds of Hawaii and the Tropical Pacific on the article's talk page. The book does meet our inclusion criteria in my opinion, for reasons given on the talk page. If you agree, could you remove your nomination? Thanks. If you need more evidence to convince you please let me know. SP-KP 17:19, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

can you please take away the speedy delete nomination, i uploaded something quick so no one would steal the indywood page, i am doing an article on The Indywood Project which has many articles written on it, and Indywood has been registered by AD LANE and is a worthy article, you can put indywood in most search engines and the INDYWOOD PROJECT would come up at the top of the search with many articles written about it.

Hey there, in response to your question, the article that this page was taken from is my own article i wrote as a press release of which i have full copywrite, (Fri Jan 19 2007) by me AD LANE

[[1]]

so hopefully that cant be an issue,

i can proove that there are articles on this subject, of which i will add to the article, if that helps proove it to have other sources, - [[2]] - [[3]] - [[4]] --

is there anything else i need to do or change? please help... cheers AD LANE Indywood 01:22, 29 January 2007

This is my first day on wikipedia, i would really like to understand how i can add things and have them accepted without the fear of deletion... I do believe that the article is worth including on wikipedia, and if you guys have a problem with it being a personal one, how about me submitting the BBC one? but doesnt that go against copywrite? or would you prefer a neutral source writing the article? for future reference? and i really did try to exclude anything that might be an advertisment, in fact i will have another run through and take out anything that can be classed as an advert... i really appreciate your help with this... INDYWOOD is top of all search engines, and we are getting tons of articles on the project, and so i still believe its a worthy addition to WIKIPEDIA... Indywood 01:55, 29 January 2007

I have removed anything that sounded like an advert, i have also removed my promotional thing on my own user page, so hopefully i am a few steps closer, and will not include any aticles by anyone else, but i am ok linking articles that go with what i am talking about, i think i am understanding more how this site works, so i really do appreciate your time in helping me, ... if you could remove the deletion tag, that would be muchly appreciated, how long does it take to be removed?.Indywood 02:04, 29 January 2007

Hi, i have checked out a few wikipedia pages, i can now see what neutral format your looking for, and was hoping that if your online tonite, if you could let me know if i am going in the right direction, and if its now worthy of having the deletion tag removed. Indywood 01:50, 30 January 2007

[edit] about the prod template..

you told me i but this template on many pages, but ive never heard of it, let alone put it on a page?! Use the force 20:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

ok, what? i'm sorry but what you just said makes no sense. what i'm saying is that don't use the proposed deletion template, instead use the template for speedy deletion for nonsense pages etc. most pages like that don't need to be discussed, they're mostly garbage.--Tainter 20:51, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Dont you have any say on removing the delete tag? because yesterday you said you would - below is what you said.

i will remove the delete tag for now, but don't be suprised if it happens again. --Tainter 01:41, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

and yesterday the article was totally different and you was right it was too self promoting, i have now met with all your specifications, or i hope i have, and changed the layout to meet with the Wikipedia format, it would mean a lot to keep the term Indywood on Wikipedia, so if there is something that is still stopping you from removing the tag, could you please let me know what it is, and i will change it or add it.

best wishes Tony --indywood 02:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

check your own talk page. no I won't remove it. sorry. I'm going to let an administrator remove it if they choose to. sorry.--Tainter 02:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Well Known Fact

I have removed the comments made by Boris2456 because I believe them to be vandalism racist, and just stupid.--Tainter 21:10, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kabbalah Centre locations

I started a discussion for the worthiness of the article. If you have concerns, you're going to have to enumerate them there. The template is appropriate for deletion if anyone objects for any reason, do no keep reposting it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Trickrick1985 (talk • contribs) 05:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

[edit] ABBYY Lingvo

Hello, Tainter. Can you please explain why exactly have you requested the deletion of ABBYY Lingvo article. Let's discuss the issue on it's talk page. Regards, Armatura 01:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

I would advise you not to remove speedy deletion tags. it is considered vandalism. though i cannot find myself as an editor on the page. i would suggest looking at the following pages: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, and Wikipedia:Manual of Style. i probably placed it because it does not fall under the guidlines of notability outlined in Wikipedia: Notability.--Tainter 02:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bert M. Petersen

Thanks for the quick work on the speedy deletion nomination bro. Keep up the diligence.--Coldbourne 20:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I do what I can. You're the first person to thank me. Ha!--Tainter 00:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Space Shuttle Challenger launch decision

I've removed your prod notice on the Space Shuttle Challenger launch decision article, and explained my reasoning on the article's talk page. Just wanted to let you know that if you want to discuss the issue further, you're welcome to leave a message on my talk page. I'm confident that the need for the page can be easily explained. MLilburne 17:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ceraurus

Actually, the article is well referenced. If you have problems with it, make suggestions on the talk page. Attaching tags for no obvious reason does nothing to help the article. Kitty's little helper 19:16, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chudleigh railway station

I noticed that you placed a {{prod}} on Chudleigh railway station. In general, notability does not expire (in other words, once notable, always notable), and railway stations are considered notable. On this basis, I removed the prod from the article. --Eastmain 23:10, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

so where is the notability?--Tainter 23:56, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

All railway stations are notable, in the same way that all towns and cities are notable. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hengoed railway station, for example. --Eastmain 00:02, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Nonetheless, I strongly disagree that essentially non-notable train stations should be on wikipedia. Precedent or not. Waste of spcae in my opinion.--Tainter 14:12, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Attack pages

Thanks so much for all of your great work on new page patrolling. Just a suggestion: when you come across a page that is defamatory, you may want to tag it with {{db-attack}} instead of {{db-bio}} or other tag. Attack pages tagged for speedy deletion are listed at Category:Attack pages for speedy deletion, which usually gets much faster attention from admins because of liability issues. Thanks again and keep it up! -- Satori Son 21:10, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Sometimes I just get hasty. I need to be more like Treebeard when it comes to speedy'ing. --Tainter 21:11, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Something you might like to know

I saw your user page was recently vandalized by User:MercuryMilan07 using IP User:24.211.252.124. User:MercuryLover05 is the same user. I had a dispute with that user recently (which ultimately resulted in his getting blocked for 3RR violation as well as myself), and I believe the Mercury Vehicles article he created was a result of that. If you have any thoughts on what to do, I'd like to hear. --Sable232 02:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Problem resolved

I noticed your problem report on the Administrators Noticeboard, and I've taken steps to resolve the issue. I have blocked the user responsible for the vandalism for 24 hours; I have also discovered and indefinitely blocked his sockpuppet via checkuser and given him an extra 48 hour block, as well as blocking the IP used for 48 hours. If you have any further problems with this type of vandalism, please feel free to report it on WP:AIV, and if you believe the same user is responsible, please feel free to raise the issue on my talk page and I will check into the matter. Essjay (Talk) 08:51, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

==vanished things== dear tainter: if you are truly a student of the past, I don't see how you can call this patent nonsense; poorly written and barely, if at all researched is fair, but it is, if well written, surely a topic for wikipedia ?Cinnamon colbert 02:38, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Relive a Day Foundation

Hello Tainter, About your edit to Relive a Day Foundation, I do agree very much with your edit, however, I think I need to know what exactly I need to add in to the article, and I did read the notability page, but I just need to know what exactly I would need to add in the article. Thank you, Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 01:05, 8 February 2007 (UTC) Also, I have this page on my watchlist, so you can reply here :) ..

Okay, got your message, sorry, I should have searched around. ThanksIllyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 01:25, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

It does not fit the guidelines, so I set it for speedy deletion.. Illyria05 (Talk • Contributions) 01:31, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

hey I just lost all my work !! THanks for trying to help but I just had it sorted. Cheers, Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:28, 8 February 2007 (UTC) and again! Please wait two minutes before I correct!! Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Plaga zombie? I see you have made some slight corrections which I was just about to save with all the work and I lost it. Keep up the good new page patrolling but please allow me to complete the starting of my work. Cheers Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:54, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

As I said Keep up the good new page patrolling. Thanks. All the best Ernst Stavro Blofeld 15:57, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] {{helpme}}

I have found no real instructions on how to simply tag and article for transwikification. the page that needs to be moved is Frindle (word)--Tainter 21:19, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Hello Tainter. You can use Template:Copy to Wiktionary—it is listed at Wikipedia:Sister_projects. You'll need to add the following code to Frindle (word):

{{Copy to Wiktionary}} -or- {{dict}}

Hope this helps! —Xhantar^Talk 21:45, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!--Tainter 21:46, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Andrea Clausen

I think it's not a stub any more so I've removed the tag. Thank you for your corrections, could you rewiev it once more, please? (sorry for my poor English, I prefer writing for the German Wiki!) Maybe I can upload a photography of her (self-made), but I would like to ask Ms. Clausen first. --Schaufi 12:06, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Make sure you you check out Wikipedia:Images before you get a picture but I'm sure you're expeirenced enough to know, but just in case. --Tainter 17:40, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I took the picture last year. But I would like to ask her anyway, if it is all right for her (I didn't say it could be for Wikipedia, it is only a private photo!). --Schaufi 19:36, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Well if you took it then you decide whether you want to post it or not. there are a lot of options to choose from check out the images link above. there are different lisences you can use etc. good luck. --Tainter 20:18, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Morfeo Open-Source Software Community

I've seen you've marked the page as being written under a non-neutran point of view. I'm new on wikipedia, so I'd be very grateful if you could give me some kind of advice on how to write it. I don't know really what is "non-neutral point of view". This project is something similar to sourceforge, but instead of being aimed to individuals, its more aimed to companies which develop open-source software and could, in some way, take some advantages from developments by other members of the community.Chusete 18:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Short Nimbus

Wow! That has to be the fastest edit ever of a new page - within the minute! Thanks. TraceyR 21:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

haha! what can i say? you're very welcome.--Tainter 21:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SQLAlchemy

Hi, I think SQLAlchemy is notable; I have put a justification on the talk page. If you agree, can you please remove the tag. Thanks, Paj28 12:06, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] SketchUp Tools

I believe you put the proposed deletion template on SketchUp Tools, the reason it says is: "Already exists as SketchUp. redundant article." I would just like to know where in SketchUp does it say anything about the tools used to create, edit, view, and do lots more? When I read the article, I noticed that it did not, so that is why I decided to create SketchUp Tools. OrinLincoln | TalkContributions 01:57, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. Now I see that the article also qualifies for WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_an_indiscriminate_collection_of_information #4.--Tainter 02:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Although SketchUp Tools does provide information on how to work SketchUp, the sole purpose of it is to describe the tools used in SketchUp. It is not ment to be an instruction manual but a page for people to get information on the tools used in a three deminsional designing software. Other articles have information on products and the correct use of them, why should SketchUp be so different. Thank you. OrinLincoln | TalkContributions 02:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

The add it to the SketchUp Tools article. This article so far has no context and is most certainly an indicriminate collection of information.--Tainter 02:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Add what to the SketchUp Tools article. Are you saying I should put SketchUp Tools into the SketchUp article? I would be fine with that. OrinLincoln | TalkContributions 02:24, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, add a section. I'm beyond caring at this point, I just don't believe wikipedia should be full of a bunch of articles that could easily be a part of another or have no buisiness existing at all. --Tainter 02:26, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] QWERTY and Accents

Do not hesitate to correct my English, it's not my mother tongue ;O) Thanks. Jean-Louis.

I assert that i have voted for picture 6--Tainter 01:57, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why

Can you explain to me why you put the tag on my article of Aundrae Allison.--Bucs10 00:25, 11 March 2007 (UTC)Bucs10

I tagged it because I question the notability of the subject. That should be quite obvious. This person has not done anything particulary special. Pretty simple.--Tainter 00:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Home Improvement

You want the pleasure of pasting {{db-copyvio}} 25 times or shall I? - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 01:29, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Would it make sense to delete the text and just leave the program name, cast and episode number up as a shell? - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 01:35, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I was thinking that. Probably because I'm lazy. Non-copyvio stuff should be kept if possible. Things like air dates and actor lists should be retained. I'll start with the oldest ones if you wnt to do the new ones. Deal?--Tainter 01:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - I'll work down the list until we meet in the middle. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 01:39, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Sweet.--Tainter 01:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Well that was fun. I feel like a vandal. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 01:49, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Somewhat. Ha!--Tainter 01:50, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to do some formatting and other cleanup stuff as well. --Tainter 01:51, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

He's restarted posting the copyvios - I've posted a note on the admin board[5] to watch him, as this I don't want this to turn into a revert war. - Iridescenti (talk to me!) 13:14, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Sheesh. That's frustrating. Hopefully something positive will happen. --Tainter 13:21, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
