[edit] Your interest in my wikipedian contributions

Apparently, you once asked me "What gives?" regarding my contribution to page of the user FairNBalanced in juxtaposition to my claim that my contribution to the Sacha Baron Cohen‎ page was my first. Clearly, you did not read the dates of my contributions to those respective pages, or else you would have noticed that my contribution to the Sacha Baron Cohen‎ was clearly my first, as it predated the other "contribution" by 25 days. Not only that, but I had also made a comment on a talk page of Junius Spencer Morgan. All of these contributions are easily verifiable and clearly marked. Now then, was there a point to your question?Shabeki (talk) 13:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

The comment I made was

Your edit to User talk:FairNBalanced

Hi Shabeki,

According to your comment here, you first edited wikipedia on 13 January, 2007. And yet here, you leave a comment on the talk page of a user who last edited in October 2006. What gives? Andjam 00:15, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

I was asking you why you were leaving a message to a user who stopped editing wikipedia before you first started editing. Andjam (talk) 13:18, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

So I could have a better idea of what conforms to wikipedia's standards and (judging by his rather acrimonious departure) what does not. That, and the chance to say goodbye to a rather brusque guy I never had the misfortune of meeting. Any other questions?Shabeki (talk) 13:36, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Why say goodbye to someone you never met? Andjam (talk) 12:20, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
Technically, very few wikipedia users have met one another. That in itself does not preclude people from saying a few words of goodbye if a person leaves the community. While I never knew the person during his tenure here, I nonetheless saw it fitting to say a few parting words given his history of apparently leaving such comments of a similarly strong nature. Perhaps it would seem foolish to leave a comment for someone who would (allegedly) never read it. But obviously, you read it and your interest in it has been so piqued as to ask me about it repeatedly. So apparently, it served its intended effect.Shabeki (talk) 07:36, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll be removing the NPOV and BLP warning tags next week unless someone objects as the discussion has died out and the article seems to have settled in at an generally acceptable version. --Nate1481(t/c) 11:39, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Daniel Brandt (prosecutor)

A tag has been placed on Daniel Brandt (prosecutor) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I use Twinkle for new-page patrol, so it must be some sort of bug in Twinkle. I've never noticed that before. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I'll send a note to the Twinkle developers, because I would definitely not call speedy-tagging "minor." - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 00:41, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
