[edit] hello

How have you been? I hope your summer is going well. I'm assuming you've finished Deathly Hollows? I have an english related question, if you don't mind.. are you familiar with "The Pearl" by John Steinbeck? Rockinfreakapotomi 17:01, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

I've read and enjoyed a fair amount of Steinbeck, but not The Pearl. -FisherQueen (Talk) 14:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, alright, I had a question about something I had read in the book which was unclear, but I looked up some cliff notes for it and I found the answer to my question. I'm looking forward to seeing you Tuesday. I'll stop by and say hello. Also I'd like to add how I love how your wikipedia use page looks. I see you hanging in there a whole lot better than I am one wikipedia.Rockinfreakapotomi 02:41, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad you sorted out your "Pearl" issue. I hope you've had a great summer. See you next week sometime. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:13, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About your comments about the Youtube Poop article

Im not sure of what I did wrong. --Chaobreaker 16:25, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

You are persistently recreating an article which appears not to meet the notability criteria. I will be happy to recreate the article, if you can supply me with links to three independent newspaper or magazine articles on the subject of Youtube Poop, to meet the requirement that every article be supported by multiple, independent, nontrivial sources. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

I will, just give me time. --Chaobreaker 16:53, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Zoo tycoon 2: arabian nights

Who told you to delete arabian nights, It is part of zoo tycoon 2, why did you delete it. Gigatron 12:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

It appeared to be an article about a bit of user-created material, not a genuine update to that game by its publishers, and didn't assert notability. If it is indeed a new game from the publishers of Zoo Tycoon, or user-created material that meets the notability guidelines, I'd be happy to look at the references; I didn't see any in the article itself. BTW, the article title was "Zoo Tycoon 2: Arabic Nights," not "Arabian Nights." -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:18, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hi FisherQueen

I posted an apology at the Paul Metcalf talk page. He is borderline obscure, and my outrage was so over-the-top, that I thought it was obvious I was kidding. It was my fault for creating the stub and letting it sit there untended. I'll work on it today and in the coming days.--G-Dett 14:47, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm glad that was sarcasm, then, and will retune my sarcasm meter- I'm afraid that, tragically, your outrage was quite understated compared to some of the real stuff I see, so I missed it. For whatever it's worth, I don't doubt the notability of the dude, and have faith that the article can be made wonderful. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

By the way... welcome back.--Isotope23 ^talk 16:03, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. It's nice to be back. 1 week of 100 degree temperatures, followed by one week of heavy thunderstorms, all much more interesting when you're living in a tent and there isn't any inside. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:07, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

My goodness! Where are you!?!? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 16:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Ahh - Pennsic's. Been there once :) -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 17:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Ugh... sounds uncomfortable. Me, I always got my taste of the medieval with a bag of D20s. Our DM's basement (or I guess more accurately his parents' basement) was always climate controlled and the Mountain Dew flowed freely.--Isotope23 ^talk 18:50, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

It has its appeal... but in any D&D game, one reaches the point where one looks across the table at a fellow player and thinks, 'I really want to hit that person with a stick.' In the SCA, you can do so. -FisherQueen (Talk) 01:33, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

You can't in D&D? Back in the day when I played, there was more than one instance of a impromptu wrestling match breaking out over who got the "hand of Vecna" as loot... of course it's not like a bunch of 12 year olds who spend their summer days playing D&D could do much damage to each other. Actually, the most vicious physical fight I ever saw between two friends was over a Magic: The Gathering ante. It's too bad that MMORPGs didn't exist back then; there would have been less bruises and we wouldn't have been forced to use our imaginations either!--Isotope23 ^talk 18:12, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Admin

Are you an administrator--Physik 16:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am. But I haven't done anything in my interactions with you that require admin tools; everything I've done related to you and the article you recently created, Mr. Bean 3, could be done by any Wikipedia user. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

If you were planning to make another one of these comments Physik, I would highly think about it twice. — Moe ε 16:46, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome back!

Huzzah! I'm glad you're back, I've been pestering Isotope23 with my questions in your absence. Doubtless he'll be pleased at your return.

I had a question for an experienced admin, and you fit my criteria. Is there a policy to cite for 'Other articles do it to' not working as an argument? I've found it for the AFD debates, I'm wondering if there is one for mainspace pages as well.

Thanks, WLU 17:05, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Try Wikipedia:Inclusion is not an indicator of notability, and see if that floats your boat. Bear in mind that both this and the one you linked are essays, not guidelines- but they will support the argument with new users, and experienced users know that just because it's on Wikipedia doesn't mean it isn't total crap. -FisherQueen (Talk) 01:35, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I've got another question - I think the link I discuss here is pretty brutal, but it is a video of a caning, which is what the article is about. How does wikipedia is not censored play out in practice? I could probably argue for removing it via WP:EL, but I don't want to weasel it out, I want to see what policy says. WLU 16:26, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I think that this is a job for consensus on the talk page, which I see you're seeking now. I'm not sure, to be honest, and I'm reluctant to pull up the video in question here at school. FisherQueen (Talk) 16:43, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

It's pretty gruesome, so I wouldn't recommend it. Mine sensitive eyes were offended. I'd just be happier if there were a policy that said 'not censored, but c'mon!' I suppose there probably isn't. WLU 18:17, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] important

The message is the truth. I didn't make it up. Blame others for doing the combatting. The talk page messages were only left on the articles with fighting and POV pushing consistent with the article. I did not leave such a message on Christopher Dodd, John Edwards, or Tommy Thompson because there is no biased edit warring there. Warningwarningwarning 21:48, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it's an interesting news story, but not directly related to the articles whose talk pages you're adding it to. Those articles are already patrolled by many people, Democrats and Republicans, who make a point of removing biased information. The BBC story doesn't really add anything to the discussion, unless you have evidence that a specific editor is working for the Democratic party. Stories like this come out every week, from a variety of businesses and political entities. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:50, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for your input on the article I am trying to put up - Sorry for being a dope but this whole thing is quite overwhelming!  :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Agentnight (talk • contribs)

It can all be a bit much at first. Hang in there, and welcome to Wikipedia. -FisherQueen (Talk) 14:26, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for monitoring the Truck camper page I created. There have been a number of attempts to place ad links on there lately. I appreciate it. I am on the road & can't watch it as close as I normally do.

Paul Beddows, past President - North American Truck Camper Owners Association

No worries; I came upon this dude while I was doing recent changes patrol. Everybody wants to advertise on Wikipedia, darn it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] speedy

Hi FisherQueen, could you please have a look at [1]? Many thanks - 217.237.150.117 20:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

If you think it should be deleted, that's fine- I don't read German, so I'm not qualified to evaluate the case. But you should request deletion through Miscellany for deletion, because your reasons for deletion aren't on the very specific list of criteria for speedy deletion. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:57, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] HappySlip

Hi FisherQueen, I tried to add evidence of notability to the happyslip article, do you think it's ok now? [see also happyslip discussion page. Bye! --Outspan 21:08, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

The YouTube awards page is evidence of notability. reliable sources should be independent of the topic itself, so some discussion outside YouTube of Happyslip would make the case more strongly. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:55, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Barefoot

Hi,

Normally I talk to Isotope23 regards stuff like this, but I was wondering if I could get your opinion as well. User:XenaLite is 'spamming', if you can spam a wikilink, barefoot on a whole bunch of pages, in many cases without a good reason and without engaging on the talk page. I've left him/her numerous messages to no avail. Any suggestions? WLU 02:24, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

That is bizarre. Deeply bizarre. Foot fetishist, I suppose. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I left a friendly note letting him know that we'd just treat the barefoot additions as simple vandalism after this warning. If he does it again, use simple {uw-v1} warnings, and I'll be glad to block him if it continues to be a problem. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

I would've never guessed it was that simple. I've left up some of the barefoot links when they actually seemed appropriate to the page, but it's almost a SPA. Thanks for the advice, I'll use UW templates and post it on AIV (unless I'm better posting it on your talk page? Will AIV think it's worth a block?) WLU 01:02, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Simple, polite, firm and perfunctory. You're my hero :) I can't wait until you get accused of forming an admin-cabal. It'll happen, oh yes. --WLU 01:15, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, that message that FQ left rocks. FQ is my hero. I'd like charter membership in the cabal, please. - Philippe | Talk 01:30, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

And here I thought it was just me and starting to get creepy. WLU 03:45, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Secret cabal? Can I join? I can only hope that one day I'll be competent enough to draft friendly notes like that! -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 03:56, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Everyone is welcome in my secret cabal. It's a friendly secret cabal. And yes, I think my strategy will work just fine; it's possible that the user may not even bother adding the link again now that we're onto him, but if he does, the question is one of refusing to discuss or seek consensus for controversial changes, which is covered by Wikipedia rules. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:00, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Note. May be a sockpuppet of User:Creepy Crawler. WLU 23:53, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

That is fascinating. Really, truly fascinating. And not in the nice way. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:17, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] BrandonAngel

Ok I will do that, but I don't see a problem with harsh warnings, I'm not new to wikipedia, Its been about a year, My account is just new, In my experience, vandals are always making pages, so i just put that warning on as a default. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by BrandonAngelLTD (talk • contribs) 21:40:15, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

The problem with harsh warnings is that it is a violation of WP:BITE- many of the people making pages don't mean to vandalize, but just don't understand the rules. For example, right now, you're causing some disruption to Wikipedia with inappropriate tags, but you don't mean to be disruptive- you just aren't familiar with the procedures. If I was rude to you, you'd be rude back, but if I politely point out the way we do it here, you'll be glad to learn and soon will be a useful newpages patroller- you're happy, Wikipedia has another wise contributor, everybody wins, and we all dance happily off into the sunset like at the conclusion of The Seventh Seal. -FisherQueen (Talk) —The preceding signed but undated comment was added at 21:44:38, August 19, 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Andrew Saul

Pardon me if you don't remember, but out of curiosity, to what purpose was the speedy tag placed on Andrew Saul a few months back? I was shocked to see that it had been deleted for notability (I could have understood context), so I recreated the article. If you have time, check it out--it's up for GA and hopefully will be on it's way to A-class and FA. Mrprada911 08:17, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I looked at the deleted version, and it was about a different Andrew Saul completely- a high school student with the same name. This Andrew Saul is clearly notable. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:05, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh, sorry about that. I was wrong to make assumptions without viewing the deleted version. Thanks for your diligence! Mrprada911 02:01, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

No worries. I love what you've done with the thing. -FisherQueen (Talk) 10:58, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Erika Ringor

I don't mind the deletion. I looked through a few websites and couldn't find anything else about her, so go ahead and delete it. --Victor (talk) 22:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing the guideline... If she becomes more notable, I hope you'll come back and write an article about her. -FisherQueen (Talk) 22:36, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Anyone can run for president, but I didn't see any evidence that this candidate fits the notability criteria. If I'm wrong, and there are indeed reliable sources discussing this candidate, I'd be glad to undelete the page so you can finish it- all I need are three newspaper articles, magazine articles, or other significant writing about this person. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:45, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

okay, you're right i'm wrong :-( —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zel999 (talk • contribs) 17:01, August 24, 2007 (UTC)

Hey, the campaign isn't over yet. If he gains more notice and becomes more notable, you can always come back and create the article. Wikipedia isn't going anywhere. -FisherQueen (Talk) 17:05, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Check user

I've been here for months, have made very few AfD noms, and still have not figured out how to check a user. User:PowerRangerHunter193 made a nom for an AfD on his very first edit to a notable actor. I can't continue to assume good faith here. Bearian 18:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Here is where you request a checkuser, but be advised, you have to have some idea what other account User:PowerRangerHunter193 is using to make a request that will be investigated. Checkusers won't do fishing expeditions with just one account; there has to be some sort of assertion and evidence that an editor is actually engaging in disruptive sockpuppeting.--Isotope23 ^talk 19:00, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, this is a rather interesting edit... especially since that editor doesn't seem to exist.--Isotope23 ^talk 19:03, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

There's no User:Austin St. John, User:Austin St John, or User:Austin Saint John. I wonder... -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:29, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, but there is an Austin St. John, aka the actor who played a Power Ranger. Perhaps "PowerRangerHunter" has some airtight theory that St. John is sockpuppeting here to create notable WP:BIO articles about himself and his fellow PR's?--Isotope23 ^talk 20:35, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

...and on a pointless side note, that article picture would make me cast him in a John Belushi biopic, if I were a casting director for a John Belushi biopic.--Isotope23 ^talk 20:39, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Of course... Sigh. I'm very slow, sometimes. Yes, of course Austin St. John is sockpuppeting on Wikipedia. What else would he be doing? -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:41, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

You know, sockpuppeting at Wikipedia is the only way to permanently defeat Rita Repulsa.--Isotope23 ^talk 23:57, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sock

User:NativeMagic, sort-of diff, better diff WLU 12:09, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Blocked. This really isn't all that cute anymore. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:21, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

If you look at my recent contribs, there's a bunch with the edit summary as 'Sock'. It's where I've tagged other users as Creepy Crawler socks. It's frustrating, 'cause he/she/it/they are doing some positive changes (adding cats and re-ordering them). I'll be adding the sock template to others with the same pattern of edits, is it kosher if I pop block requests on your page? Is it better to use AIV? WLU 13:24, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

AIV is good, because it makes it clearer that we're not just waging a personal vendetta against bare feet. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:27, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Are there other distinctive editing patterns, besides the feet? I haven't studied these contribs in depth yet. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:29, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Found it! Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets is the place to specifically report abusive sockpuppetry. I knew there was a place for them... -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:32, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool. As I mentioned on his/her talk page, it's a mix of barefoot fetish pushing and category alphabetization, as well as adding and deleting categories appropriately (in my mind). There's a minority of body text edits as well, but a lot of them are to place a spurious emphasis on the barefoot nature of running away from a threat (creepy!) I'll aim for SSP from now on. Fortunately or un, I'm pretty short on time so I don't have the leisure to read lengthy policy pages. My thanks for your assistance (you too Isotope, you talk-page stalker!) WLU 18:58, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Please don't move your talk page or user page to articlespace, as you just tried to move them to Straight Pride, an article which had already been discussed and deleted. It's disruptive and confusing. I see that you've already been warned about moving pages inappropriately, and I see that you also moved someone else's talk page into articlespace inappropriately today.

Are you asking why we have a notability guideline? You can read the notability guideline for yourself to get more information about it. But no, if a band doesn't meet the notability guideline, then the encyclopedia doesn't need an article about that band. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:59, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk:Mitsubishi Debonair

To explain about my {{db-spam}} "nomination" earlier today, it was only for the talk page itself, to delete the edit where the anon IP had added a classified advert. Since that was the first edit to the page I was unable to revert, and I have a personal dislike of mere blanking. I wasn't aware of any specific prohibition of CSD tags on talk pages, but it didn't seem like a counter-intuitive or illogical action, hence I gave it a try.

God forbid you delete the actual article, which was my own creation (and one I'd prefer to retain). Regards, --DeLarge 20:29, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I didn't see the classified ad; sorry, I'm not sure how I missed that. That's a reasonable request, and I'll go delete it now. -FisherQueen (Talk) 22:12, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Steven Jackson (baseball player)

He's a minor league baseball player who has not played in the majors. Being drafted by an MLB team does not establish notability. Playing for the big club does, and he hasn't done that yet. The speedy should stand. Please familiarize yourself with the section on athletes in WP notability guidelines.

This also applies to Ramiro Pena. Please note that similar articles by the same author have been speedy-deleted for the same reasons. Realkyhick 22:53, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I did look at the notability guidelines for athletes, which said that people are notable if they have played for a fully professional league. Isn't minor league baseball still professional? If I'm wrong, I'm not wrong about the guidelines... I'm just wrong about baseball. -FisherQueen (Talk) 23:01, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

You are wrong about baseball. It is not the top level of professional baseball, which is the criterion. I might add that this criterion has been upheld countless times on Wikipedia. If the player plays even one game for a major league club, he automatically achieves notability. Realkyhick 23:06, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I believe you, and will bear it in mind when evaluating baseball players in the future. -FisherQueen (Talk) 23:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I knew there was a page which specifically addressed baseball players and notability, and I finally found it: WP:BASEBALL. (Duh! How did I miss that?) Thanks! Realkyhick 23:14, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Neat! I wonder if there's a similar page for soccer? Those foreign soccer teams are the ones that really kick my notability-sniffin' butt... -FisherQueen (Talk) 23:16, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Answered my own question; it's being negotiated over there. -FisherQueen (Talk) 23:18, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Just a note; WP:BASEBALL is wikiprojet baseball, it isn't a guideline for anything really. WP:BIO is the relevant guideline here and it is a bit vague on this... just be prepared to be argued with over minor leaguer deletions.--Isotope23 ^talk 23:21, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that WP:BIO makes the status of minor-league players entirely clear, to be honest. The project has a clearer sense of what constitutes notability... but then, they aren't policy. I'm not going gunning for baseballians anytime this evening, though... in fact, I may just settle down with a glass of wine and a comic book. -FisherQueen (Talk) 23:27, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I see that SpigotMap has already taken care of it.

[edit] Request for Protection

Hello...you just blocked User:Lord Holy Ono (thanks!) who has engaged in an edit war with another user on the Naruto Uzumaki page. Could you full protect the page (it is already on partial protect) until everyone simmers down. I don't know about the situation with the two users, just seen the remarks on recent changes and tried to cool them down myself. Many thanks...NeutralHomer ^T:C 21:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

I just blocked them both, which I'm hoping will cool the situation down. If remaining editors can't work it out among themselves, then I'll add the full protection, too, but I'm hoping that the rest of you can look at the sources and achieve consensus, given a little vacation from the edit war. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:48, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks....I was hoping that the two users in question would simmer down, but I guess they didn't. I personally have nothing in the article (don't know anything about anime), I just seen it on Recent Changes and thought I could help. Oh well, back to WP:WPRS. Many thanks. Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 21:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

By the way- I have the page on my watchlist now. One user got a longer block than the other, because it wasn't his first block, so I'll have my trigger finger ready to block User:Lord Holy Ono if he comes back and starts warring again. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Okie Dokie....I will let you keep an eye on it. Please let me know if you need any help as I am glad to lend my assistance. Take Care....NeutralHomer ^T:C 21:53, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

As a second by the way- thanks for trying to cool them down. Keep up the holy mission! -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:54, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citation templates

You added a link to your user page recently on citation templates. Did you see this excellent one for Pubmed entries? Awesome. WLU 02:28, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shivkar+Bapuji+Talpade

I am recreating this article. Comment pleaseBalanceΩrestored ^Talk 10:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry; I cannot comment, because I don't understand what you're talking about. That's a link to something on Google books, but it isn't in a content area that I'm familiar with, and if it's related to something I deleted here on Wikipedia, I don't remember it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] I can't see your edit

Where is it then ? If it's moving a full stop or something then no you probably won't be blocked but if you actually write about a sentance or more you probably would be. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.65.62.0 (talk) 13:29, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

I assume that you're talking about this edit, although since you aren't logged in, I can't be sure. I would make a more substantial edit, but I didn't find many reliable sources that I could use to really expand it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:31, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

In fact, since you've never edited Lorna Fitzgerald, and the account Avarules has never edited that article either, and since you have vandalized a userpage in one of your few edits, I have to assume that you're the sockpuppet of a user who was correctly blocked. After a little research, it seems that User:Ln of x is most likely your account. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re FrozenchilD

Fair enough changing this to prod, but how does, as you put it, a "multination Tour" make them more notable, they only played in clubs, which isn't hard to sort out, and it isn't difficult to get in a car or on a plane and fly to another country--Jac16888 11:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I think it'll probably be deleted, in the end. But WP:MUSIC says that one claim to notability is, "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country, reported in reliable sources." So assertion that they've been on an international concert tour means that there is in fact an assertion of notability. That doesn't make them actually notable; it just means we give them a chance to come up with the reliable sources to prove it. And when they don't... it still gets deleted in a few days. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

ah, but, what is the policies definition of "concert", does it mean in a proper concert hall, arena, etc, or does it include clubs, like FrozenchilD has played in.--Jac16888 12:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

by the way, just so you know, i'm not trying to be petty or cause trouble here, just wondering if maybe the policy needs adjusting--Jac16888 12:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, and if you think I've not interpreted the policy in the best way, my feelings won't be hurt if you take the thing straight to AfD. The only question is when it gets deleted, I think, not whether it does. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

No its ok, prod should be fine, unless it gets removed. nice chat, thanks--Jac16888 12:41, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

heh heh, you might be amused to hear that the article was deleted sometime this morning because it was a copyvio. never even occurred to me it might be--Jac16888 11:37, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I should have thought of that. These non-notable bands often just copy the text from their own MySpace pages... -FisherQueen (Talk) 11:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Surfstitch deletion

Hi there, would you mind sending me the text that you deleted from the surfstitch page. I will need to re-work it to illustrate relevance. Thank you Netcycler 13:25, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I tried, but you don't have your e-mail enabled. -FisherQueen (Talk) 15:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edits to Abi branning

I've just editted the Abi Branning and Lorna Fitzgerald pages, making perfectly true and valid edits. Let's see if I'm blocked now, and see if my theory is corrct or not. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.77.36.92 (talk) 15:55, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, there's the problem. Your edits violate the neutral point of view policy. Didn't anyone explain that to you before you were blocked under your many assorted usernames? No one needs to read your opinion about these actors, only the verifiable facts about them. Do me a favor, and don't add those sections back into the articles, and then I won't have to block you. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I was wrong. I think I will have to block you after all, since in addition to this, which I think you have to know is against policy, you made this personal attack, which I know you understand is against the rules. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, FQ is so much nicer than I am. See, she only blocks you for a month! I, however, tend to get you for six month periods. Maybe that's because you've exhausted my patience. She, however, is a teacher, so she has so much more patience than I ever could. I could respect you more if it were, perhaps, witty vandalism and not just boring trollishness. - Philippe | Talk 19:21, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Oh, sweetheart, feel free to increase it to six months if you like. My feelings won't be hurt in the least. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:26, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Eh, instead I just found and zapped another sock of his. Since it was a named account, I got it indef. It does my little heart good. - Philippe | Talk 19:28, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Super long blocks on those IPs probably won't help... it is Energis DSL & likely dynamic.--Isotope23 ^talk 19:34, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

I rather figured we were into this one for the long haul. - Philippe | Talk 19:36, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
