[edit] Deletion of Pythomnic article

Dear Bruce, I have just posted a message at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jayron32 essentially quoting the entire article and asking what is wrong with it exactly, because it is in fact a correct and truthful explanation of the system I was describing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Targeted (talk • contribs) 18:57, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Odell Brewing Company

When removing a speedy deletion tag from an article, it's just common courtesy to explain why in your edit summary, and to notify the person who put the tag on in the first plage. Corvus cornixtalk 00:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Bad Fantasy"

Didn't mean to seem harsh; it's just that there are minimum standards for inclusion that are up to the poster to follow. I was trying to be nice to prevent it from being deleted. Still hasn't been expanded, but we'll see. I might take a whack at it. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 00:10, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Restoring content on Maxim's talk page

Maxim deleted that content legitimately and for a reason. Why did you restore it?

Thanks... Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 02:24, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, that makes sense. I am glad that you realized the goof yourself. No harm done. Have a good weekend! Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 02:34, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Seranade (ballet)

Thank you for adding the link to the Tschaikovsky entry — and for retaining the eccentric spelling of the composer's name! City Ballet has spelled it Tschaikovsky since their founding by George Balanchine, and who am I to argue with Mr. B.? Robert Greer (talk) 03:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Memory of Trees

I have a CD from when the title was originally released, and the back says this:

Reprise Records, a Time Warner Company.
3300 Warner Blvd., Burbank, CA 91505-4694
74 Rockefeller Plaza, New York, NY 10019-6908
World Wide Web: http://www.RepriseRec.com/

Maybe you have a newer release sans that original notice? —Locke Cole • t • c 01:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Could be a US/UK thing, Reprise Records is (according to the article) an "American" company. In fact looking at the back of all the Enya CDs I have, they all say Reprise Records (with a note about being a Time Warner company). Even Watermark. FWIW, List of current Reprise Records artists shows Enya as well. I'd assumed, apparently incorrectly, that Reprise was an international label. I've no objection to switching back to Warner. —Locke Cole • t • c 01:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion declined

Regarding the page The Potters School, which you tagged for speedy deletion on the basis of WP:CSD#A7, I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This page does not qualify for speedy deletion under that criterion because potentially controversial topics such as schools are not eligible for this criterion. If you still want the page to be deleted, please re-tag it under a CSD criterion that applies, consider redirecting the article, or use the proposed deletion or the articles for deletion processes. Thanks! —  Tivedshambo  (t/c) 21:39, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Rahi Re-creation

Thanks for that link to the article! I read it over, and saw quite a few interesting points of view, although i still agree with the people on the 'Keep" side. The Rahi article was an extremely important part of the Bionicle section, and I think we need to work on bringing it back. Thanks again for the article! --Pirate GreenBug (talk) 22:18, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copyright violations in Bullseye and Catchphrase articles

Hi, if you look at the history I think you'll see that the offending sections were re-added several times, hence the reason for deleting it again then adding the copyvio tag. Other than getting into an edit war, I don't know what else I can do to stop these things getting added back in by the original offender. Any advice on this very welcome.

[edit] Helter skelter revision

I ask you to reconsider the revision you made to Helter skelter (ride) at 23:39, 1 May 2008. Yes -- the article is not about the song or Manson; but examine the paragraph you changed. As revised by you, it is as follows:

The term gained notoriety and an association with the macabre in bizarre consequence of The Beatles' 1968 release of the song "Helter Skelter". To Britons, the song's lyrics involved reference to the ride ("When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide"). In the United States, the term had only its meanings of "confused," "confusedly," or even "confusion."

That is unintelligible. How did the difference between the British and American understandings of the term make the term notorious? The sentence you deleted from the paragraph's end was as follows:

Witness testimony and other evidence underlay the prosecution's theory that convicted murderer Charles Manson saw the song, among others, as a prophecy of a race war with the same name.

I can see why you might want to work that into the paragraph more compactly, but it is not incidental.JohnBonaccorsi (talk) 18:54, 2 May 2008 (UTC)


Thanks for the reply. No -- I think the article is fine now (i.e., after your additional revision, of 21:49, 2 May), without any reference at all to the song or Manson. I won't be surprised if the reference returns, via some other editor; but I'm neutral about it. I don't think it's essential, but I don't find it off-topic. Anyway -- thanks again, for the prompt reply (and action).JohnBonaccorsi (talk) 22:07, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

I think it's more appropriate, as there are only two more, that they be dealt with separately. Please open new discussions for the individual article. Actually, the second one's a redirect, so it should go to WP:RFD! So much hassle, I know. PeterSymonds | talk 14:30, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

As much as I respect WP:IAR, the redirect is to an article that is not being considered for deletion, so it shouldn't really belong here. That's my opinion anyway; another may disagree. Let's see how it goes. :) PeterSymonds | talk 14:36, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
