[edit] V speeds‎

Chris: Thanks for the note on the Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Aircraft‎ page. I had a kick at the page, added some V speeds with Transport Canada references and made the article a bit less USA-centric. See what you think. - Ahunt (talk) 22:34, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] tips for de-escalation

I have replied to you on the talk page concerned. Please do share.:) Merkin's mum 14:28, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

There are some things I can't explain to him further, for security reasons. But I don't intend to pester DS here, I just wanted to say that I think I've done all I can. And I know it may seem to be "going on and on" but I'm finding it helpful to discuss it with others, other's support has helped me feel better over it in the same way as the barnstar you gave DS must have done for him. But I'll try to shut up about it A.S.A.P., like, today- and I'm going out for a nice meal later, anyway which will help me move on. That as well as receiving the surprise news at a routine blood test today that despite my love of pizza, I have a cholesterol of 2.:) Which I will stop mentioning everywhere now, but gave me a boost. Nurse said the secret is wine.:) Merkin's mum 14:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Franklin Municipal Airport - John Beverly Rose Field

Hi. I was planning to post a response here on your talk page, but since you started a new thread at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Airports#Airport naming conventions I have posted it there instead. -- Zyxw (talk) 18:31, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RB on XBL

Yes. Very much so. -- TRTX ^{T / C} 23:02, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] declined CSD (Eric Castelli)

Hey there, I thought the CSD might be declined, but I'm just curious... Will an a7 always fail as long as the article includes the words "X is notable because ...". I thought it might still be deemed non-notable (regardless of the weak assertion), because Wikipedia does not even have an article on the software that seemingly makes this individual notable. $50 follow-up question: should I have just tagged this version with {{db-copyvio}} ? xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 18:56, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I'll have to delve deeper into the deletion policy. And the $50 follow up question? xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 19:04, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I think the subject would fail at AFD due to lack of secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject (therefore, I won't take the time to rehash the primary sourced copyvio). Thanks for your time! xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 19:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] ER/GTA IV

Oh , thanks! I play on XBL under the same gamertag as my Wikiname. Feel free to send me a friend req! xenocidic ( talk ¿ review ) 19:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Did you ever end up adding me? If so, what's your tag? P.S., I love your userpage design. Can I ~~pilfer~~ borrow it? ;> xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 23:38, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Chris, just wanted to see if you were another person who added me right around when we had the initial convo. I'll drop a note on Phaedriel's page as well. xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 13:46, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

understandable, I just meant a friendly note thanking her and hoping she comes back one day. I've heard good things about her. xenocidic ( talk ¿ listen ) 13:49, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of scribble wiki

you obviously cant read! It said under construction! I was developing it and writing proper sources for it. You had no right to delete it. MillionaireMan (talk) 19:01, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Tap it in on google and you will get it. Also it is advertised on my college website and also on local papers website. MillionaireMan (talk) 19:09, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Its your job to provide evidence of notability, not mine. If you have a link, please post it here. Otherwise, it will remain deleted. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 19:32, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of Big Doe Camp

I am wondering why it was deleted so quickly. I saw the tag that it could be speedily deleted and i added the "holdon" tag and stated that it was a work in progress. I also went on to added a stub tag. You stated that wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a memories page and that there are thousands of camps but not articles for them all. well that is because nobody has created articles for all of them. i was planning on expanding the article to include a lot of information about the camp, how it operated, and the program, and details about the program which made it unique. this was not just any old camp either. lots of camps come and go but very few are around for over 50 years. the camp only closed down because the old couple running it couldn't let it go and pass it on to anyone else so when the old man died the camp closed down. what do i need to recreate the page? must I include a lot of more information about it. I marked it as a stub so it can grow into a larger article. there is lots of information out there about it. I also included a link to a reference to a listing of the camp. anybody looking at the page would know about who founded it, where it was located, the camp song, and what activities were available even though it was short. i do not see why you needed to delete it, please expand on what i need to include to recreate it and why you saw the need to delete it. Magnetawan (talk) 19:47, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

There is lots of informaiton out there about it. The Trent University Archives holds information about it. [1]These two articles at the university just tell us that they have information archived from the Ontario CAmping Associaiton and the Canadian Camping Association including articles, photographes, and even a taped interview with the founder about the camp. These articles, pictures and the interview are not available online but the information is there to tell us that they do have it in their archives at the University. The Camp Channel also provides information about the camp [2]. I hope this is sufficient in getting the page put back up. --Magnetawan (talk) 20:17, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Since you have decided that what I have posted above is not sufficient to have the article undeleted can you then please send me the text or a copy of the article which you deleted so that I can use it as a base to expand on and I will therefore have it to develop the article more offline before I post it again. I had hoped to let it develop online so that other people could be involved in helping me develop the article. Magnetawan (talk) 19:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Summit Spring Water (Harrison, Maine) Article

I am surprised that my informational article on Summit Spring/ Summit Spring Water was deleted. I provided source information for the images that I provided, yet you cited the images as examples of blatant copywright infringement. The images were copywrighted by www.summitspring.com, and I provided this information. I am new to Wikipedia and would appreciate if you please clarified your decision to delete the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nlars (talk • contribs) 14:34, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Chris that helped a lot. If I were to change the article so that it were solely about Summit Spring, including media coverage and referencing documents belonging to the Harrison Maine Historical Society, as well as providing the specific copywright specifications of the images would you be willing to undelete it so that I can make the changes? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nlars (talk • contribs) 20:08, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of Thierry Wasser

Thierry Wasser is the next in-house perfumer for Guerlain and the first one that is not of the Guerlain family. On top of that he is an important (and star) perfumer in the industry. Saying this person lacks notability is ridiculous. Sjschen. Judging from the previous comments, maybe you are a bit "quick" for the fast deletions? Sjschen (talk) 14:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

If a person is highly important for the creative work of a historic company of great distinction in a field, a article on them cannot be really considered vain. While you note the references as "questionable", note that gleaning background information about perfumers in general is difficult since they are generally hidden and obscured by their industry. osMoz , by the way is a good media resource in the flavour and fragrance industry and the site is by no means flaky. Being trigger happy may be for the most part the correct thing to do as an admin but I think in this case a mistake was make :) Sjschen (talk) 14:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Agreed. I'll see what I can do. Sjschen (talk) 14:36, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Silenize

Dude like calm down! I'm contesting it, stop deleting it. I just need to know what's necessary and I asked that on the talk page. Stop being all delete-happy!—Preceding unsigned comment added by Legionstrong (talk • contribs)

Your band lists no reliable third party references to assert notability. If they exist, list them here and I will undelete your article. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 14:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

The band has played at the local area concert hall "House of Rock" (in Eau Claire, Wisconsin) and if you go to this page http://www.house-of-rock.com/links.htm, all the bands that have played there are listed in alphabetical order. If you scroll to "S", Silenize is listed.

They've also played at Dewey's Roadhouse, and I'm not sure if this is a liable source, but: http://www.eauclairebars.com/2007_12_01_archive.html. Right at the top as "things to do" it lists that night's concert and the bands that played in it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Legionstrong (talk • contribs) 14:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Could I get a copy of the article so I can get this information without the article being lost? I don't have access to the information necessary at this very moment but will.

[edit] Chuckie Akenz

Just curious if you noticed that the speedy tag was IP vandalism. I'd just reverted to Cluebot before you speedied. Look at the last couple of non-vandalism diffs? I think it may be notable. Thoughts? _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 14:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

The article has 4 prior deletions, none of which were done by me. Based on previous deletion history I will assume it is not notable. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 14:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

the last one appears to have been two years ago. Looking at the last version and a quick google, I'm not sure it was at all speedy eligible. It asserted some notability and there appears to be some RS coverage. Previous speedies were for non context and copyvio, last was 2006. I think something might have changed in the interim. That's just my thoughts. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 15:07, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Note, he's also had a verified TV appearance since then, I don't think this is speedy eligible _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 15:08, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for looking into this more, you appear to be correct. I have undelete the article. Sorry for any inconvenience! I sometimes go through hundereds and hundereds of speedies, and make a mistake every now and then. Thanks again for pointing it out. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 15:10, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

No worries, we're all human :) It's hard to make heads or tales of it from the mess of IP vandalism. I'm going to see if I can at least clean it up. It may not pass AfD in the end but we'll see. I agree it does have an interesting history. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 15:15, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Good call on the s-protect. I was contemplating, wondering whether the IP would knock it off. It's an odd situation. _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 16:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, when I saw it pop up again, I figured if I deleted it, somebody else might make the same mistake. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 16:47, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Yep, seems an odd article to edit war about (look at the last 50 contribs, less ours today). Not quite WP:LAME but getting closer. Have a good day! _{TravellingCari}^{the Busy Bee} 17:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] regarding high school musical 4

High school musical 4 which you just deleted, has been recreated about 8 times. is this a candidate for some salt? --Rocksanddirt (talk) 17:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Already done. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletion of School of Athens

I saw you deleted Image:Sanzio 01.jpg and said it was a blatant violation of copyright. Could you explain further how you can to this conclusion? Remember (talk) 17:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, i selected the wrong reason. The image was corrupted and was not viewable. Even in the deletion details, the image is unrecoverable. Sorry about the wrong edit summary. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:22, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re Akaza Research

After reading more carefully, I actually agree with you that this company has asserted notability, and was about to go and remove my own speedy tag when you got there first. However, the other problem is that the material is a copyvio of their own website. I'm not going to tag it, since that might be a bit more "bite-y" than I should really be -- I'm going to see if I can work with them to fix it up. Thanks for your good judgment and action. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:29, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

If it is copyvio, you can tag it as such. Copyvios should be deleted. If you dont get anywhere working with them, be sure to take it as copyvio when you are done. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I agree, I'm just going to try to work with the author first to make Wikipedia a little more welcoming for them than I've made it be thus far. I figure as an open source company they will be aware of the copyright situation. If you have any further concerns, I'm at your service. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:40, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proof_that_the_neutral_axis_of_a_beam_lies_on_the_centroid_of_the_cross_section

This article was speedily deleted while I was working on it under the criteria of not enough information. This is a common proof of stress analysis that is found in almost all solid mechanics. See http://em-ntserver.unl.edu/NEGAHBAN/Em325/11-Bending/Bending.htm. I was working on the math formulas. Please undelete it so I can finish it or redirect me to a place where it is already stated.

Thank you. --Markozeta (talk) 18:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Article in question is Proof that the neutral axis of a beam lies on the centroid of the cross section. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 18:20, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I have replied on your talk page. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 18:23, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I'll simply add it to the neutral axis page, which I was attempting to edit. I've been accused of being too technical on my pages, so I thought I'd go around the discussion by creating a separate page with the proof, as has been done with the pi page for proofs that it is irrational. I'll simply add it to the neutral axis page then. --Markozeta (talk) 18:26, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The DOORKICK

You deleted this, but it's been created three times now. May be time to salt. Qworty (talk) 19:28, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Depending on the article, I most often salt on the 4th re-creation. I will be keeping my eye on it for a re-creation. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 19:30, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Moment (Magazine) deletion

Hi, you deleted the article "Moment (Magazine)" and I would like an explanation...thank you —Preceding unsigned comment added by Circusmark88 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

I just deleted a redirect that had improper capitalization. The article is still there actually. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 19:37, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Fixative (drawing)

What reasons do you have for suspecting that Fixative (drawing) was blatant copyright infringement? I had split it out from the Fixative article. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 19:48, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Came from here. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 19:56, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

It was a mirror of the article at Fixative (see [3]) before I split out the different subjects. The sentence at the link that reads "This biology article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it." is a pretty good clue. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 20:05, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Good catch. I have undeleted it. Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 20:17, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Page move

Hi there - per 23:33 (Deletion log) . . Chrislk02 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Talk:John McPherson&redirect=no" (content was: '{{db-move|John McPherson|John McPherson (Australian politician), 19th century 1st South Australian Labor leader in a governing coalition more important ...' (and the only contributor was 'Timeshift9')) it would appear that was deleted buy the problem remains. This needs to be removed so I can move John McPherson (Australian politician) to John McPherson which is at the moment just a redirect to the first. Are you able to make the changes? Timeshift (talk) 22:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Deletions

Hi Chris, I'm not sure I understand your deletion of this image Image:Sanzio 01.jpg which was on my user talk page. This painting is 500 years old and the presumptive copyright holder Raphael has been dead for 490 years. The copyright term doesn't last quite that long in any country :) --JayHenry (talk) 02:35, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about that. I covered this error in a previous thread above this. The image file was corrupted, or unviewable. However, when I deleted it, I selected the wrong quick reason. I have reviewed the deleted image and the text of the page is there but the actual image revisions are gone (leading me to assume that the image was truly corrupted some how?). Hope this helps. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 13:43, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Oof, I see now that you're fielding a lot of these requests! Sorry, I didn't realize you'd already addressed this one. It turns out there's a better quality copy of this image at The School of Athens, so no further action needed. Thanks for your patience. --JayHenry (talk) 23:17, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion

Hi, can you be more explicit in your speedy deletion reason in the deletion log when deleting? Merely linking to the AFD for the article that were submitted that day with no one having argued speedy deletion does not allow someone to see under what CSD criteria a particular article was deleted under, which leaves room for needless DRV process if the articles were deserving of deletion. Regards. KTC (talk) 15:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Can you point to a specific example please? I generally use the appropriate CSD tag from the drop down list. If i close an assocaited AFD, I attempt to list the criteria I deleted it under. IF you can list a sepcifc example, it would be very helpful. Thanks. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:25, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

I saw this at AFD which were redlinked but wasn't closed, so I looked at the deletion log. Then there's also this AFD from the same day with its log. KTC (talk) 01:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

At the time I deleted them, there was no linked deletion discussion. I always follow AFD notices on speedy pages and close them if I speedy delete them. Sorry if this caused any inconvenience. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 01:52, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] June 2008

[edit] Georgia Tech Freshman Experience

You deleted Georgia Tech Freshman Experience as WP:CSD#G4. The newer version appeared to have been created without knowledge of the former version, and I believe (but am not sure) that it cited a reasonable number of reliable sources, a contributing objection in the article's Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georgia Tech Freshman Experience. If nothing else, we could restore it and move it to Georgia Tech Housing or Georgia Institute of Technology Housing (the latter is currently a redirect) (not sure how to phase/capitalize that one) which would probably have a better assertion of notability. Thanks! —Disavian (^talk/_contribs) 04:54, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Why?

Hello Chris

Could I be so bold to ask you why you removed a speedy deletion notice? Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:15, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I am an administrator currently patrolling Speedy deletions and probably felt it was unfit for speedy deletion. Do you have a specific example? Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:16, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

This article Light Anti-Structures Missile, personally I dont really think it has any real world priority the missle just seems a spin off of another and it has no references. Yours, Police,Mad,Jack (talk · contribs)☺ 17:18, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

It does have a reference. It may or may not need to be deleted, however I did not feel it met one of our cristiera for speedy deletion. You are welcome to propose it for non controversial deletion or take it ti articles for deletion. Your call. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:19, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

To do a proposed deletion I just add "{{subst:prod|reason}}", dont I? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Police,Mad,Jack (talk • contribs)

Yes, prods need to be substed. A quick heads up though, prods can be removed by anybody if they disagree with it. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:23, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Akim Aliu

Hi, I see you deleted Akim Aliu citing A7. Was it speedied or prodded? Want was the current state of it? He has played professionally [4] at that meets WP:BIO. I'm not trying to be difficult: a AFD discussion would be a close call, but there's no way he's a speedy. ccwaters (talk) 17:37, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I will undelete it if you take it to AFD. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:38, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure. Give me a few minutes. ccwaters (talk) 17:40, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

CAn you give me the talk page too. I think I recall a discussion about this on his talk ccwaters (talk) 17:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Yep, no problem. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:42, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I guess not, I think we might have talked about him at WP:HOCKEY somewhere then. Anyway, I've given the original speedy nominator a chance to AFD it here, if he doesn't respond, I guess I'll nominate. ccwaters (talk) 17:53, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD vs. speedy

Why did you remove the {{db-author}} tags from Migratorius, Monogyna, Rubecula and Oblonga? The author of those pages requested deletion, and even if there is an AfD present for all four pages, the pages clearly meet G7 criteria. I have never seen any rule that says AfD and speedy cannot overlap if the speedy criterion is valid; furthermore, I see no reason to drag out the process when there're perfectly legit concerns for speedy deletion. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:52, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I very often close the AFD as part of a speedy process. However, looking at the disambiguation pages, they looked somewhat useful to me. Just because an editor requests a page be delete does not mean it always has to be deleted. I understand where you are coming form by wanting to get it over with but figure some input from the community on redirects such as those listed above could not hurt. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:55, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

I also cannot find where the orignial author is requesting deletion? That is part of the criteria of G7 which you are listing them under. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:57, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

NVM, I just went ahead and deleted them. I woulda rather let the AFD run its course but why not. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 18:02, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Dear Admin, Would Polar cities be speedily delete considering its copyright violations? I'm surprised its still around: [5] I carried out a google search on the article's words and all the article's info comes from this blog site I noted. Just curious. Artene50 (talk) 01:03, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] not that important, but

you speedied Editing At-One as a "copyvio - G11." But g11 is spam and g12 is copyvio. --brew crewer (yada, yada) 14:53, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

It was actually a little bit of both! I find that most copyvios are also pretty spammy. I often tag both in my CSD reason just to be clear. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 15:04, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re, "Be careful"

Hi,

Please can you check that one; I am pretty sure that Erm IS nonsense and should be deleted, and the real placename is Achterste Erm ?

If that's true, though, it's been there for a long time, and it will need changing in Coevorden and Template:Coevorden-town

[edit] Removal of EQ screenshot.

While I am not too concerned with the actual shot removed... it doesn't much affect the article and is just one more example of what the screens look like.

However, the reasoning behind including screenshots from video games in the video game articles is very important. Can you tell me what the problem with http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Image:Crystal_Caverns_Queen_spider_lair.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1

was?

Proper fair use rationale had not been provided and it had been 7 days since it was tagged. After an image is tagged with a fair use problem, there are 7 days to get it sorted out. After that they are subjet to deletion. For more details on what exactly is required for fair use of a copyrighted image, please read WP:FUC. In short, there was no fair use rationale, or the fair use rational did not provide article specific context (seperate fair use statements are required for each article a fair use image is used in, and the name of the article must appear specifically in the fair use critiera). An example of a good fair use statement can be seen here. Hope this helps. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 19:50, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the tagging does not trigger an event on the watchlist for the article. If the image can be brought back, I may be able to provide some insight. I am curious as to why the image was tagged after, what, years ago? I am also curious as to how it is different from the other images. It is from LONG before I even accessed wiki, so I don't even know what the image showed, much less what its rationale was. It may indeed not belong here at all. I generally am dubious of ALL images in these articles... I see them as eye-candy that drives up the real cost of the wiki project while providing only limited value. :) Sinneed (talk) 21:27, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

There has recently been a push to ensure that all of our images are fair use compliant. The problem was not with the image, the problem was with the fair use statement. There was a week given to fix it and nobody did so it was deleted. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 15:08, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

(Re friend request) With all the wiki-excitement I haven't been on my xbox lately, I just accepted it through the web though. xenocidic (talk) 18:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

You have the Let sleeping rockstars lie achievement?! I'm jealous! xenocidic (talk) 18:01, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

I actually just got that last night. I was in a GTA race and I think there were two of them and my brother killed one so I made sure to swoop in for a kill before ending the race (they were great at setting up roadblocks, it was quite possible the most perfect roadblock I had ever seen).

[edit] Kirori Singh Bhainsla

You recently deleted this article. Reason sited that he is not significant.

16:45, June 2, 2008 Chrislk02 (Talk | contribs) deleted "Kirori Singh Bhainsla" ‎ (A7 (bio): Real person; doesn't indicate importance/significance)
Actually if you do a search on google or even just visit ibnlive.com you would get to know how much a head-ache this person is to current Rajasthan government. He is leading a caste based violence struggle in Indian state in which already 37 people have died. He is quite significant....or should I say "very bad"ly significant. There is already an article on wiki for this 2008 caste violence in Rajasthan.
You are an admin so must be knowing how to recover the deleted article. I dont know how to do this so asking you. Article may be having POV, or badly written or may be even abusing depending upon who wrote it but can be cleaned. Let me know when you recover it and I will have a look at it. --gppande «talk» 07:31, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I will do it when I get to work in about an hour. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 13:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

A copy of the deleted article can be found at User:Chrislk02/Kirori Singh Bhainsla . I will leave it there for a week then delete it again. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 14:09, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting that article back. I saw that the article was well written but had POV. Also it did not have the refs as you said. I have edited the page User:Chrislk02/Kirori Singh Bhainsla. Please go through it once and let me know your comments. Thanks for your help. --gppande «talk» 16:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Looks good, I moved it back to the mainspace. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pizza delivery in popular culture

Hello! I have serious concerns with this closure. You say a "majority" in your closing rationale; it is NOT a vote. And as a discussion, the ending of the discussion is that the article had been cleaned up in such a fashion that editors now believed it should be merged or kept. There was absolutely no consensus to delete here and I strongly urge you to either relist or close as no consensus. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I will re-review this. Give me a minute or two. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:14, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I have re-stated closing rationale, however have not changed my mind about it. You are welcome to take it to DRV, that is ok with me. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 17:21, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Please note that near the end of the discussion a request was made to "Re-list the new article if you must; I doubt it'd get the same negative response that the earlier article did" after which two editors argued to keep and only one was still in the delete camp. Most if not all of the deletes were made PRIOR to the improvement. Once the improvement occurred the discussion changed course dramatically. Thus the actual discussion ended with a consensus to keep or to discuss further, but aboslutely in no way could that have ended in delete. Please reconisder once more before I start the DRV. Thanks. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Closing AFDs

Hey there Chris, please note that when closing AFDs, the {{subst:at}} '''decision''' template needs to go at the very top of the debate, and not just in place of where it says "remove this template when closing". I've gone back and fixed a few of yours today, so no worries, just for future reference. Hit me up on my talkpage if you have questions -- cheers, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 22:17, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Did I do this one properly? xenocidic (talk) 22:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Nope. Didn't. :-) Your "decision" needs to be the very very top of the page when you hit "edit this page". Means you have to move everything else down. The confusion comes from the hidden note that says "remove this template...". Remove it, yes, but don't replace it with your "result of the debate". The result is required to go above the Bluelinked article title so that Mathbot removes it from the "open debates" log. I fixed this one, check the diffs to see what I did differently than you :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 23:00, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out keeper, Ill pay closer attention in the future! Chrislk02 ^{Chris Kreider} 23:02, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Ah - above the second level header, in other words. See - talk page stalking has its benefits! cheers, xenocidic (talk) 23:05, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

All smiles here, gentlemen! The only reason I know any of this is because I screwed up my first half dozen or so, and K-Katie set me straight. Just passing it forward. Going offline here any minute, happy editing, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 23:06, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
