[edit] Durban Strategy

Hi Ashley Y. I'm a bit clumsy with wiki markup and protocol, so please forgive me if I'm writing in the wrong place. Just wanted to tell you that I recently signed in, saw your message about the Durban Strategy article that I started, and responded on its talk page. Thank you. Yours tharsaile (talk) 18:15, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

I meant to not sign it. John Reaves 11:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

I know, but you did write it. —Ashley Y 11:07, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
It's not important who wrote the section. John Reaves 11:11, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Granted

Use it only to remove obvious vandalism. It is given easy and easily removed. Enjoy.--Doc g - ask me for rollback 23:12, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I always hate it when people say "rvv" in a content dispute, so I'll be good. —Ashley Y 23:42, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notice

Do not vent your anger at your fellow Wikipedians if they are just making simple comments on your editing, even if it's on your own talk page and you revert it right away. Users can still see your edits if they look through your edit history or are browsing Recent Changes.

We are trying to improve Wikipedia, not anger users. Redbull47 (talk) 23:47, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

What? —Ashley Y 23:50, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
About the "UR STUPID" edit. Redbull47 (talk) 23:51, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Um, I suggest you examine that a bit more closely before leaving snotty and accusatory messages on people's talk pages. —Ashley Y 23:54, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm not accusing you- you really said "UR STUPID", unless it was someone else on your account. And let's not fight here. Redbull47 (talk) 23:57, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
See. That is considered a Personal Attack, although it is not directed at anybody specifically, it violates policy. - Rjd0060 (talk) 23:59, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm not even allowed to call myself stupid? I think that's stretching WP:NPA. —Ashley Y 00:03, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
You can if you'd like. I don't consider that calling yourself stupid though. You didn't say "I am stupid", you said "UR STUPID" (bolded for emphasis). I'd like not to have a big debate here, so please just refrain from those types of comments. - Rjd0060 (talk) 00:05, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
The "U" referred to myself, since I was the target of the accusation. See if you can figure out exactly why I did that. And as for the big debate, who exactly came to whose talk page to complain? —Ashley Y 00:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I like your edit

at WP:ATT.  :-) --Coppertwig (talk) 01:30, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Okopipi (software tool)

An editor has nominated Okopipi (software tool), an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Okopipi (software tool) (2nd nomination) and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 21:30, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My Rfa

My effort to regain adminship was unsuccessful, and I'll do what I can to ensure your opinion of my suitability for adminship improves. Thank you for taking some time out of your day to voice your opinion.--MONGO 04:58, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Individual-i

A tag has been placed on Individual-i 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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

[edit] A new Oxbridge user box

Ashley Y...I am currently in the process of writing a user box for all of the colleges that are part of Oxbridge. This template is meant to replace your current college template. Please take a look at the work in progress and comment on it. My main concerns are college abbreviations and color choice. I am using scarf colors for the colleges. Thank you. - LA @ 17:25, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Humanist Wikipedians

Hello Ashley Y. A user who use this userbox, should be in Category:Humanist Wikipedians, and not Category:Wikipedians interested in humanism. Regards, Masterpiece2000 (talk) 08:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

OK. —Ashley Y 11:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Action Jackson IV (talk) 23:07, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Pleased to meet you, Ashley. I notice that the userbox in question is not being used by you, nor were you the last to edit it, and the message has been changed. I just edited it to fix the grammar. What's the story of this userbox? The MfD could be extraordinarily disruptive, I'm trying to get it speedy closed, the last thing we need is a debate over fundamentals of religion. It seems some people want to interpret it offensively.... --Abd (talk) 17:36, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
I collected a bunch of religious userboxes after it was decided to move them out of Template: space (WP:UBM). —Ashley Y 19:12, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Just the facts, eh?

If you're so concerned about the facts, check yours. Christianity is not the only belief system that believes non-followers are damned. T geier (talk) 17:13, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
