[edit] Monetary policy of the USA

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Monetary policy of the USA, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Monetary policy of the USA.

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Given the off-wiki discussion with this editor, I am reasonably convinced that he is not a sockpuppet of User:Karmaisking despite the coincidences in timing and interests. Please excuse the preemptive block, and good editing. — Coren (talk) 04:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Kylu asked me to do a CU. Totally opposite sides of the world. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 04:32, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
Yes, welcome, BigK. I will be up front that I was the one who had the suspicion of puppetry. Without going into a lot of detail, there were timing and subject matter coincidences that seemed unusual. My comments were acted on quicker than I thought possible, and I would have preferred there to be a full checkuser process. So, my apologies for what must have been an unusual and unpleasant welcome. Please forgive me, and Coren, for our own good faith reaction that you got caught up in inadvertently. And Coren, sorry that my suspicion was misguided and I got you involved. BigK, once again, welcome and good editing.--Gregalton (talk) 04:36, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
As to the blocking ... though I applaud Coren (and kylu!) for the help in shortening the unblock process I still think the rash blocking is unacceptable. I, myself, am the Lead Administrator of an online community, and am aware of the difficulties, but any community which develops the reputation for having a tyrannical Administration will not thrive --- "It is better to risk sparing a guilty person than to condemn an innocent one" as Voltaire said. It would have been quite simple to send me a message beforehand and give a reasonable response time. In my community, I don't have "revert" buttons (and it generally takes me rather long days at times for some problems), but it's still easier for me to fix the problems caused by a multiple account abuser, than it is to fix the reputation damage that banning a new user causes.
As for gregalton's concerns ... I read the karmaisking "fractional reserve" debacle. I find both sides were unreasonable. Karmaisking was hostile, and many of the detractors were gruff about their deletions ... further enraging karma. I don't think his citations had enough creditability, but most of the editors could have been more sensitive. gregalton was the only sensitive editor, but now on MY edits, deletion is the first proposal, along with less-than-credible claims of "repetition.

[edit] AfD nomination of Monetary policy of the USA

An editor has nominated Monetary policy of the USA, 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/Monetary policy of the USA 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) 14:44, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi there. 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. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.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! --SineBot (talk) 18:39, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Apologies

Hi BigK HeX, apologies for the confusion regarding the WP:WQA post. For what it's worth, I broadly agree with your comments about Zenwhat. Addhoc (talk) 22:57, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A suggestion regarding your merger proposal

It looks like people are missing your point about the specific sections in socialized medicine that you are proposing be merged. May I suggest that you clarify the subheadings on the talk page -- expand to full section headings and link them to those sections in socialized medicine? Otherwise, I think we're going to head down the wrong road on the discussion and it will be hard to see if there's consensus on any of the section mergers. --Sfmammamia (talk) 17:41, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Fully agree.BigK HeX (talk) 17:46, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
