Rage Epilepsy

Did you even have time to read the article before you tagged it for deletion ? What on earth do you know about this subject as a math student ? It is not non-sence and if <<personal attack>> Dowew (talk) 02:10, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

They are numerous articles related to rage and epilepsy. You can update them if you wish. But the article you created is in no way an encyclopedia article. Cenarium (talk) 02:16, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

O jo kaluguran daka

Just wanted to let you know: O jo kaluguran daka was written in another language, and therefore shouldn't be tagged as nonsense. I deleted it anyway, but because it failed another criterion: failure to assert notability. Nyttend (talk) 04:03, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, what about the picture and the web links ? O jo kaluguran daka seems to be some kind of lyric indeed (google says). But altogether, it makes no sense (should we consider an article of Wikipedia as a whole piece, or as a patchwork ?). I had thought about using other templates but still, this one seemed to be the most appropriate to me, and I've remarked only now that it's possible to give several reasons.

Compassvale Secondary School

I didnt vandalize the page... Is this the way to talk to you? by editing your page? ElvynKoa (talk) 13:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes you did and any administrator can confirm it.Cenarium (talk) 13:14, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
as in what i did was vandalising? BTW I'm not a sock puppet. ElvynKoa (talk) 13:23, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

The Jones Family take L.A by Storm

In regard to this article, I wanted to clarify which procedure you were trying to use to delete it. You placed a {{prod}} notice on the page for proposed deletion, but you also created a page for it at Articles for deletion. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I should have placed a subst:afd1 on the article ?Cenarium (talk) 12:09, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Ok, I've changed the tag, this article should be deleted as soon as possible.Cenarium (talk) 12:22, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
A question, how the article is deleted after the 5 days in a proposed deletion, by an administrator, or a bot ? Cenarium (talk) 12:30, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
All WP:AFD deletions have to be decided by an administrator rather than a bot, because the weight of the discussion has to be judged in favor of one side or the other. (Note that a non-administrator is allowed to close WP:AFD discussions when there is a consensus to keep; however, a consensus to delete has to be closed by an admin since only admins have access to the delete article function.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 04:22, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Rage Epilepsy

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Rage Epilepsy, 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 Rage Epilepsy. Eubulides (talk) 03:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

I've always been for the deletion of this article. Thanks for the proof that it's a hoax. Cenarium (talk) 18:36, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the silly stuff on my talk page.[2] This IP has been pestering about ever since I spent the day watching the featured article on the main page about four weeks ago. Just out of curiosity, how did it come to your attention? Risker (talk) 23:09, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I was patrolling the recent changes. -- Cenarium (talk) 23:52, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Content removal from SSE page

Hi, you must always indicate a reason in the edit summary, particularly when you remove content of an article and when you are using an IP address. I have commented at the talk page of the article. -- Cenarium (talk) 23:52, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Outtakes and mistakes

I've changed the tag slightly - R3 (redirect form an implausible spelling mistake) seems to fit the situation a fair bit better. Thanks! gb (t, c) 19:10, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

I used R3 the first time it was created, reasons advanced for deletion are always subjective, see the log. - Cenarium (talk) 20:19, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Crashdown (album)

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Crashdown (album). The reason is:

Not obviously a hoax.

For your information, עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 11:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, please refer to the deletion log [3] of Shredanator, it seems that two administrators have agreed that it was some kind of hoax and speedily deleted it, I logically requested speedy for the album. Cenarium (talk) 12:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
They didn't delete Shredanator as a hoax, they deleted it as having no content (a hoax does have content, false content) and as a test page. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 14:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
The second deletion was under nonsense, a google search at Shredanator crashdown returns only results from Wikipedia , how possibly could an album not appear on the net ? (And there is nothing on a band called Shredanator too.) Cenarium (talk) 14:17, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
Anyway, it will be deleted by tomorrow. Cenarium (talk) 11:27, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

DarkSun

Don Not delete the article, I'm trying to put its notability. This band has worked and collaborated with bands like Rage, Primal Fear, Angra, Sinner, all thi gives importance to the band. Please hangon until I put all the references and their njotabillity. Rockk3r (talk) 17:24, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Ok, go on. Cenarium (talk) 17:30, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey I put their website, their myspace profile, their discography, their history, the band's members, well... everything. I'd like to know what did you mean with notability, so I can put it on the article. Please put your messages in my talk page, not yours, so I can know when you write me something, thanks. Rockk3r (talk) 17:51, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
It's explained here (it's the link on the db tag). Cenarium (talk) 17:54, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
Look I put a past member, "Rafael Yugueros", member of the power metal band WarCry, they have worked with many notable bands, so the speedy deletion should be taken off. Please (If you think) this deletion should be taken off the article then do it. Or you can tell me what else do I need to put. Rockk3r (talk) 18:23, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
The band must meet one of the 12 criteria presented here. If none is satisfied, the article should be deleted. For your information, hundreds of articles on bands are deleted every month. Cenarium (talk) 18:43, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
However, failing to meet those criteria does not qualify an article for speedy deletion. An article which asserts notability, but which does not meet other criteria must be deleted through a process other than speedy deletion. Dsmdgold (talk) 00:47, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
Yes, It's in the introduction of WP:MUSIC and I recognise that I shouldn't have tagged it for speedy (I admit that I had not completely read the article, I based my CSD on a web search, I'll avoid this in the future) but DarkSun has been nominated for deletion now and it must satisfy one of these criteria or it will be deleted. Cenarium (talk) 01:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

DarkSun

Hi, I have removed the speedy tag you placed on DarkSun. The articles assert that this band has released three albums in the last six years. Releasing albums can lead to notability, so this article is not eleigible for CSD A7. If you feel that this band fails the more general notability criteria, then PROD and AfD are still available. Dsmdgold (talk) 19:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, I should have removed the speedy tag. But I was unsure because I've not found any reliable source proving these facts. Cenarium (talk) 19:17, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

DarkSun

The article is unlikely to be deleted. I do agree that I need to enunciate the band's notability better. I think it could be btter just to tag on the article {{unsourced}} because you're right about one thing - it needs references. I'm gonna put this on their talk page Rockk3r Talk to me16:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

It needs reliable sources. Cenarium (talk) 14:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Nami Tamaki Page

I see you have offered the suggestion of moving the trivia information to the biography section of the article. I think that is a good idea, and you can go ahead and do that if you wish so we can get rid of that trivia section. If you need any help let me know and I shall assist in any way i can. AnthonyWalters (talk) 14:33, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

I've deleted most of the content of the trivia section, which was too weakly related to Nami (following WP:BLP) and obscure in many parts. I started two sections, career and anime and game industry, maybe their titles should be changed. If you think that I've removed too much content, feel free to replace it in the appropriate section. Cenarium (talk) 17:51, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

T. Rajendar

I reverted edit by User:Reddogg as he has removed only the negative statements about T. Rajendar thereby making it a POV. As per my knowledge, Wikipedia does not prohibit the usage of criticism, only that the article should not be heavily biased for or against the person concerned.-Ravichandar 04:05, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

I agree but the filmography section is still unreferenced and some people think that the article is biased against T. Rajendar (see the talk). The article is still in violation of WP:BLP. Cenarium (talk) 14:23, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Portals up on MfD

I'd like to note that the page you keep citing, Wikipedia:Trivia sections, when discussing Did you know boxes and hooks in portals, was created with intention to be applied to articles. Many, and I daresay most of the hooks (the Did you know items, i.e. "Did you know that...") in such boxes have actually appeared on the Main Page as such and aren't just useless lists of unsourced information. I'd appreciate it if you stop disregarding others' hard work on DYK articles and classing them as "trivia". Cheers, Spebi 00:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and would you mind responding here, rather than at my talk page? Thanks. Spebi 00:13, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
I have myself created a portal and DYKs, I don't disregard your work. And I said that, in my opinion, DYKs on such a topic are similar to trivia sections because the scope is too limited as I explained at the Mfd page. I have not cited Wikipedia:Trivia sections as an authority, I am open to further discussion. I really don't understand why you said "...you stop disregarding others' hard work...". Cheers too,Cenarium (talk) 00:28, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
Probably not the right choice of words. I meant that I find it a bit rude that you class others' hard work as trivia, which is often disregarded and described as useless, unsourced, rumours or "crap that doesn't fit anywhere else". I can see where you're coming from, though. I've left a response at the MfD debate. Cheers, Spebi 05:50, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

High Risk, 1981

Hello!

I recently tried to edit the James Coburn film,High Risk.

I see you misunderstood at what I was doing.

I am wishing soon we can fix the tiny issue.

Thanks a lot, EJElectric Japan (talk) 12:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

You have moved the page High Risk to the page CBS 1988 television program, in mistake. You have probably clicked on the "move" button, if you want to edit a page, click on the "edit this page" button. I have fixed this move issue. Cenarium (talk) 17:43, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Voltaire's play "Mahomet"

Do you have prove of this comment: "Muhammad's lechery prompted him to invent a commandment from Allah" ? One needs to prove intent to prove lechery.Provide proof for that intention to support claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.154.253.113 (talk) 16:01, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

The analysis section of the article is not a direct work of Voltaire or a published part of his play. As such, comments about lechery and the invention of verses in the Quraan are nothing but additional material added with subjective anti-Islamic undertones, meanwhile the article should describe the play and not add to it new material to give it juice. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.154.253.113 (talk) 16:09, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
You can express your concerns at the talk page of the article, as I may not be very helpful about that. But no need to cite me there, just copy/paste your comment. Remember to sign your posts with four tildes ~~~~. Cenarium (talk) 16:31, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy delete of the Barbie Film

Hi there. I noticed that you removed my speedy tag on the 'possible film' with the reason "can't speedy a film". Can you tell me where it says this in the CSD criteria? I'm asking because I can't see it and would like to know for future use. Best wishes -Fritzpoll (talk) 22:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Generally, fiction cannot be speedily deleted because the article doesn't satisfy any of the WP:CSD criteria. For example, the context was clear (it was a film), so it could not be deleted per A1. They are exceptions, for example when it's an attack page, a blatant advertising or a copyright infringement, or a really blatant hoax. Cenarium (talk) 22:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
That makes it a lot clearer, and I can see what you mean in the context of the criteria. Thanks for taking the time to clear that up - Fritzpoll (talk) 23:42, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Chief Oil and Gas Notability

This article is VERY notable. This company is one of the biggest independent players in a little thing called the Barnett Shale, one of the largest natural gas fields in the US. This is a billion dollar company. Do I need more references, links to newspaper articles, etc? I tried to follow the same format as other companies in the same industry. See Devon Energy and Chesapeake Energy.

Please remove the notability tag or give me a reason why you put it there. Thanks, --Gittinsgranado (talk) 21:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Phantom Planet(disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Phantom Planet(disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 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. ukexpat (talk) 14:45, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

This is not the appropriate CSD, the correct CSD was R3. Btw, I was not the creator, I just moved the article to the correct name. I was about to tag it but I had to do something offwiki. Cenarium (talk) 15:10, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Regarding Infradian rhythms

Infradian rhythms are biological rhythms lasting for less than 24 hours. An example is the feeding cycle of some animals according to the tides. Ultradian rhythms are biological rhythms that last for longer than 24 hours. An example is the human female 28-day menstrual cycle.

Please stop changing this page not knowing what they are. For validity, look them up on a REAL MEDICAL site/publishing not some bogus source.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Aslidaku911 (talk • contribs) 21:19, 9 March 2008

I assume that you are user:99.227.248.246. You removed mass content from this article without explaining your reasons. It's not to me that you should explain why, you must give a short reason in your edit summary, and on the article's talk page if it's not enough. This kind of edit is considered vandalism.

Theology Online

I don't want to cause a stir but do you think Theology Online should get an AFD or at least a prod?

There is this page: Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace. The chain {{uw-v1}}, {{uw-v2}}, {{uw-v3}}, {{uw-v4}} is the most used. Of course, they should always be substituted, and they are cases where we can jump directly to {{uw-v4im}}. You can find many of templated talk pages examples in the wild.

Your recent CSD tag of Hp tx1000us

Hi, I see that you tagged Hp tx1000us. However, it seems it is not the correct CSD category. This article seems to be describing the predecessor of HP Compaq TC1100, another article that has merit. Perhaps, giving the article another chance or merge it to the HP Compaq TC1100 article would be better than speedy deleting it. Have a great day! - Jameson L.

(hijacking header) Hi there! Just dropped a comment at RyRy5's talk page, and since you were involved in that discussion I thought you may be interested. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 02:17, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

RE: Ryry5

It's ok, I'm not accusing you of anything. However, I was just concerned at the approach you were taking; your analysis of his edit statistics seemed very peculiar to me, seeing as we generally acknowledge that edit count means essentially nothing. Your response did give advice, true, and it wasn't overtly offensive, but the undertone (at least the one I got out of it) was "what are you doing? You have no idea." Anyway, in terms of the adoption program, it may be very ambitious, but it still seems good-hearted (not sure what this dubious information is), and his usage of Jimbo's talk page was probably just an effort to get it noticed by people (also, note that most new users think that Jimbo has a much more involved role in the talk-page-level workings of Wikipedia than he actually does). Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 03:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I agree, his mainspace contribs are lacking. But such is the way with many new Wikipedians. Also, I don't think length of time can really judge a person's experience here; if a new user logged on today and spent, say, three fully days learning policy they'd probably know more than many senior editors. So he may have been here for a month but that doesn't mean he's been exposed to AFD, cleanup, stubs, etc. Also, many people want to appear more distinguished than they really are. Respect is a valued commodity in the online world, whether you're at Wikipedia or Myspace. I agree, there are some negative parts that come along with this. And maybe he felt attacked, I'm not sure. The bottom line is nobody's to blame here, and nobody is at fault; rather, it was just a miscommunication between well-meaning editors. If you'd like to, you can apologize, though of course you don't have to, and I'm sure nobody's going to hold any grudges. Also, RyRy5 is friends with one of my adoptees and Wiki-friends, Basketball110, so I can mentor them both I guess; I'll mention the "veil of experience" thing to them. Anyway, thanks for being so rational about this. Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 21:06, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
Well, when you arrive at a massive project like this, I guess it feels a bit vast. Some people just want to have the comfort of knowing that there are others who share their interests, which is what I judge the cabals to be. Some are also just for fun, and you're right, as long as they're kept in the background it's all for the best. Anyway, thanks for making my first interaction with you awesome; hopefully there are more to come! :) Cheers, Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 23:33, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for opening that. (No, seriously). I've written a bit more there as well as what I said at ANI. Basically, you're 100% correct, and I'm seriously trying to do something about it. Regards, dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

btw. out of curiosity, did you withdraw the RfC "endorsement" because of my Compwhizi/blog stuff, or some other reason? (And feel free to not answer)

I withdraw because you said "Editors matter, but the encyclopedia matters more.". I can't support that in this form, particularly after what happened, but your clarification, rewording is clearer about that. So I'll support it. CenariumTalk 10:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Maths portals

Hi Cenarium! I've noticed that you've been doing a lot of work on maths (sub-)portals - notably creating Portal:Category theory and Portal:Set theory. Given this and my recent work, it's inevitable our paths will cross at some stage. So, I was wondering what other maths portals do you think should be created? The obvious pure maths gaps are Number Theory and Analysis... but should Calculus be inluced in the latter or seperately? The whole sector of Applied Maths isn't covered - or alternatively, it's covered everywhere else in bits. I personally think that there should be one Applied portal, but not seperate ones for probabability/stats/etc.... although maybe one for Discrete maths. Anyway, enough of me rambling - let me know what you think. Tompw (talk) (review) 18:51, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, you're making a great work with maths portals. Since only a few editors are attracted by maths portals, our paths were bound to cross indeed. I think that portal:Analysis, portal:Number theory, portal:Applied mathematics, portal:Discrete mathematics and portal:Mathematical physics will be enough, in the apparent order of priority. For example, the theoritical aspects of probability theory can go to portal:Analysis as a subtopic of measure theory, and the applied aspects to portal:Applied Mathematics. Also, it depends on the quality of our articles. We have nice articles in discrete maths, in graph theory for example (e.g. Pseudoforest, Four color theorem). Calculus should go to portal:Analysis, this way, the portal will be diversified, ranging from basic calculus to functional analysis. A portal in mathematical physics is an interesting idea, it's not covered in other portals. CenariumTalk 00:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
I was planning on Number Theory today... will work on Applied instead. I don't see why some topics can't be present in both Discrete and Topology... there's always going to be overlap between areas. (Case in point: I learnt about graph theory as part of discerete maths module at school, then got taught from a completely dfifferent angle in algebraic topology...). I agree with the chnage in layout for releated portals (maybe with wider cells?)... My only comment is that Discrete and Number Theory should use the same image as on Portal:Mathematics/MathematicsTopics. Doesn't matter which gets changed. (Btw, see Portal:Canada for large related portals box... my experience with that was that more than 11 in a row doesn't work).
Related issue: User:Tompw/sandbox9... shows various examples of a tab-based system... main disadvatnage is that is hs to be seleictive rather than comprehensive. Let me know what you think. Tompw (talk) (review) 13:43, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
With regard to tabs, I was inspired by Portal:Religion (somewhat apropriately), though I wanted to improve on the system used there. It wouldn't be tabs per se, just a navigation aid that looks tab-like (because I think it would look pretty more than anything else).
Something else I meant to mention last time but didn't: colours.... do you have any objection to me changing the colours for Number Theory and Discrete away form the default to something yellow-based and purple-based respectively? Also, would you be OK wityh somethign like Portal:Box-header/38 for Category Theory? Tompw (talk) (review) 16:36, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for changing the background colour on Category Theory... as you've probably guessed, I'm trying to get a consistent "feel" between the different maths portals, while using the main colour as an identifier. If blue's your preferred colour, how about something like Portal:Box-header/26, with #1F4F7F (darker verion of that blue) for header text?
I see from your home page you're studying maths... would I be right in guessing your prefered areas are the logic/fundamantals sort of things? I did a mixture of pure (geometry and topolgy for preference) and applied (well, maths phys). Tompw (talk) (review) 17:30, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Erm...In Nick's neutral (on this RFA), he said that my behavior left him with a bitter taste in his mouth. I was shocked to see this because I didn't really notice anything hostile that I had posted on the RFA, and because my comment to you is the only one on this RFA, I would like to apologize to you for any terseness or hard feelings created by my comment. I sincerely didn't mean to offend you, and if I did....then I apologize profusely for it. Best wishes, Malinaccier (talk) 23:02, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

What makes you say that he referred to you ? You haven't said anything hostile or whatsoever in the RFA. I think that Nick refers to the behavior of Xenocidic, and not in this RFA. CenariumTalk 23:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Red 13 Band

You "Cenarium" added a notability Tag to Red 13 (Band, I'm new to this and I didn't really understand the rules, I read the Notability guidelines and I think that i have satisfied them. Red 13 has competed in "The Break contest" to play a nationally accredited festival "The Bamboozle", and have won, securing themselves a spot May 3rd Mainstage at "The bamboozle" @ The Medowlands Sports complex, East Rutherford, NJ according to "9. Has won or placed in a major music competition." - Wikipedia:Notability (music) & They also are releasing a album on Romulus X Records in May '08 "5. Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)." Although Not Two albums.. between the One album and the major Music Competition i think red 13 is sufficiently notable.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dell970

Please take a look at WT:RFA#Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Dell970, and my comment under the "Discussion" section of the RFA itself (which I added after it closed). I think allegations of racist slurs have a very credible explanation. Since the RFA is kept forever, I wonder if you would consider going back to the closed RFA, and strike any portion of your comments relating to the racist slurs? Otherwise, this is likely to haunt an otherwise good faith contributor in the future. Thanks. --barneca (talk) 04:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I saw vandalism in the first reference on the Space Needle article but I had no idea how to remove it. Can you explain it to me?

The DarkArcher was here (talk) 22:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

If the vandalism is the last edit to the article, then you just have to undo it, or rollback, which is particularly useful when the same user has made several edits and all of them are vandalism. If it's not the last edit, then you have to search in the history of the article the latest non-vandalized version (from diff to diff). Then you have to revert to this version (you can do that in editing the old revision), and reinstate all the constructive contributions of course, alternatively, you can remove the vandalism manually based on the latest non-vandalized version. It's explained at Help:Reverting. For the reference system, see Wikipedia:Footnotes. Cenarium (talk) 23:19, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

I tried to avoid any dramatization, and I do not like insinuations or bad faith of any kind. If there is a thing to remember, it's that generalizations are unwelcome, and any editor, familiar or not with Wikipedia, is entitled to express opinions on a matter. But when they are misguided, due to misunderstandings or misinterpretations or whatever, we should assume good faith, and reply to them in order to help the user to understand the issue. When this step is over, and a user keeps making unfounded accusations, measures should be taken to ensure the preservation of a good atmosphere in our community. If a user is a target of this kind of accusations, we should support him/her, but not forget that these accusations may be innocent and genuine in the eyes of a user unaware of the issues. There is also a more serous criticism that shouldn't be discounted because we have faith in a system. Cenarium (talk) 17:00, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

continued from my talk page

First of all, it was not directed at you unless you were making personal insults vs Lazer. I didn't see this to be the case, however, but I haven't read all of the scattered debate. That or if you actually were beat up by a little girl in pigtails for your lunch money. (That's a joke if you're an ESL type). My only difference with you was the "significant portion of the community" comment. That's your POV, mine is: and again at least in my experience with a completely different article, that it was a vocal minority with a different agenda then as opposed to what happened with Elderly. My post was a consolation to someone who was going through what I went through, although his attackers were a little "politer" than mine. Also, I never said that you personally needed to get more involved, just that getting involved and your suggestion about other languages were two of the best ideas I heard from that debate. I edited what I said in the interest of not fanning the flames. So, I apologize if you took it as something it was not meant to be.--Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 18:36, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
