[edit] Sonata Arctica

Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia, as you did in Sonata Arctica. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links as long as the content abides by our policies and guidelines. See the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. Thanks. —♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 14:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for being mature about this, and not going down the road of WP:3RR-violations. Anyway, if you take a look at WP:EL, you'll notice that it says that links should not be included if they link to any site that does not provide a unique resource beyond what the article here would have once it becomes a Wikipedia:Featured article. This UK website is only a forum and a picture, and does therefore not contribute to the article. Hence I removed it. Oh, and take a look at {{welcome}}. I almost forgot about that :) —♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 16:32, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
It's ok. The ability to make a mistake has been embedded in human nature. Anyway, try using a signature (see WP:SYP), it makes replying to your comments easier.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 20:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Test articles

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. -- Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 13:20, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for the reply (sorry I've been so slow in getting back to you, I went to bed soon after posting the above message). I simply wanted to alert you to the fact that other users had tagged a number of your newly created articles for speedy deletion, because they did not appear to meet Wikipedia's requirements for inclusion. I'm not passing judgement on either their decision or your articles, but simply thought you should be alerted to that fact. BitPump would be one of those articles, but off the top of my head I simply can't remember the rest -- sorry. :( Daveydweeb (chat/patch) 22:45, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Deleted articles

You should know that Wikipedia (including the deletion log) is case-sensitive, so that could be a reason why you were unable to find the articles in it. Also, I looked at BitPump before it was deleted and I have to admit that I agree on its removal. It's just one short sentence and a link to the client; it read like an advertisement.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING(Я) 15:24, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Oragen article

As you are clearly a fine example of a contributor to Wikipedia, perhaps I was a bit hasty in my editing. Should I change the 'db' tag from 'ad' to 'nocontent'? It clearly doesn't warrant an entry.

And I'll be waiting patiently for the Polyadenur entry.

Sorry about missing the ~~~~. My bad.

Retracted deletion request, but I still don't agree. You're a good negotiator, though. ;-)

[edit] Signing your posts

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! Jobjörn (Talk ° contribs) 23:05, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] trekbbs

Thank you for your opinions in the TrekBBS AFD. I do not agree with the closing admin's decision and have listed this now under Deletion Review. As you had participated in the AFD, I wished to inform you this in case you wished to voice your opinion on this --Brian(view my history)/(How am I doing?) 17:44, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] PureTnA

[edit] Re: Sven Co-op

I can trust that the information is probably correct. However, one pf the main tenets of Wikipedia is Verifiability, not Truth. This, combined with no original research, means that self-verification ("playing the game") is out of the question.

In addition, WP:V also specifies that unsourced material can be removed at any time. It's also up to people who want to keep to find the sources that will get it kept. ColourBurst 21:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Napier

I thought my summary was fairly clear. Your edits aren't the issue. You misguidely working with recently vandalized content. Or, rather, content which had already been refined long ago. A GIPU had reverted to an earlier version of the article. That version had a lot of problems with it, as you could see, but these were delt with long ago. As far as I'm concerned, the GIPU commited vandalism and you're not a fault. That's it. Ace Class Shadow; My talk. 20:08, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

i was just reverting vandilism sorry for the misitake. Sorry Cocoaguy 従って contribstalk Get Lost 15:46, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply

Well, in all fairness, I did ask for it with my edit summary ("readded nonsense") - I didn't think the removed section was nonsense (unnecessary and unwarrented speculation, but not 'nonsense', so I got a bit sarcastic. Sorry. Michaelsanders 18:29, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] A Flock of Dodos

I think you did a great job. It looks neutral and well-sourced to me. As always there's room for improvement but an AfD is both uncalled for and counterproductive. Deleting such an article takes much more than a flock of dodos, as long as we adhere to the rules and keep everything well-sourced. AvB ÷ talk 00:19, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Heart Of The Universe

Why did you feel it was important to note the age and activity of my account on this talk page?--Lostcause365 22:44, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

I thank you for your quick response. In the future, however, please note that the closing admin is expected to check the age and history of all posting users on an AFD discussion. It was a bit unsettling to see your note, but i really do appreciate your explanation and removal of the comment. Lostcause365 14:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

  1. The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization.
  2. The content is distributed via a medium which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster; except for:
  • Trivial distribution such as hosting content on user-submitted sites (GeoCities, Newgrounds, etc.)
