RfA thanks from Happy-melon

I just wanted to say thanks for your support for my RfA, which closed (74/2/0) this morning. Your comment and support was very much appreciated. Happymelon 15:49, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

Let's make peace

Here you go. I'm using my regular IP at home. ORYZ is the vandal. NOT me. He's posting fake birthdates with no source. He posts fake birthdates for video game characters for God's sake. Even someone reverted his fake Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas edits. I'm simply reverting them also. Ban me if you want but PLEASE don't revert my edits. There is NO source. Ban him. I'm NOT a vandal. Why you fail to see that ORYZ is the vandal I'll never know. You don't see me blanking other topic pages and posting fake birthdates and "bla bla bla" crap.

Look, here are ORYZ's fake edits.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Carl_%22CJ%22_Johnson&diff=prev&oldid=179892383

And here are the reverts.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_characters_in_Grand_Theft_Auto:_San_Andreas&diff=next&oldid=179895590

Here's Squishy Vic confirming he is a vandal.

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:OrYzZ&diff=172441941&oldid=169917688

I'm sorry for insulting you that one time. :( I was wrong. :( Again ban me if you want but PLEASE tell ORYZ to stop with the fake birthdates crap.

Thank you. :D

courtesy call

Re MER MEC S.p.A: Although I agree with the deletion in principle, there may be some claim to an "assertion of notability" in the part about their innovations. The original author tried to put up a {{hangon}} tag as well. Although I doubt the article's notability, I'd like to restore it and send it to AfD instead, since the author seems to think it has a legitimate claim. - Revolving Bugbear 18:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Bollee

Hi! My name is Manish Modi and I had just created an article on Prof Willem Bollee, a leading Indologist and scholar of Sanskrit, Pali and Prakrit. There was absolutely no form of advertising, he is a notable scholar with a host of acadedemic achievements. So pray, why did you delete it? Manish Modi 04:24, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

Hi! You are deleting the article without even telling me why! Please do justify to me why you consider an article on a scholar to be blatant advertising. Manish Modi 04:35, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

I see. Could you please do me a favour and send me back th original article by email? (I did not save it anywhere, and I had spent over an hour poring over it.) I shall take a printout and work on it right away. I can email it back to you or put it up on Wiki, and hopefully the result will be far better.

My email id is <manishymodi@gmail.com> Thank you. Manish Modi 04:43, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi! Please do not go with my timings. I am new and pretty confused with Wiki. When I saw that the article had been deleted, I was nonplussed. I was trying to find out what happened. Took me a while to fig. out.
But please do email me the article as I had last saved it, just before the speedy deletion. I will not put it up like this, but at least I have the skeleton to work with!
Thank you
Manish Modi 04:48, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
My reply.

Hi! Thanks a lot! I shall definitely work on it and make it more amenable to the teleology of Wiki. Thank you very much for saving what I had written, because it would have been a pain to retype everything!

Is there someplace where I could email the article to you (and others) after redoing it in accordance with Wiki standards? I would much rather write it, have it checked by someone like you and then have it posted to Wiki. The idea is to build awareness of the notable contributions made to Indological studies by scholars.

best wishes, Manish Modi 05:00, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

Thanks. Bye Manish Modi 05:15, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much for doing that. What is your opinion on the page right now as it stands? Do you think he's not notable enough? I guess I should really find sources for his notability. — Cuyler91093 - Соитяівцтіоиѕ 07:42, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Regarding to User:AL2TB/Sandbox, did I tag the page for speedy deletion? That must have been the wrong page. Is it possible to restore it please? I'm working on something. ^_^ AL2TB ^_^ 18:33, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

User talk:PopzTartz

Care to explain why this block was shortened to 31 hours, minutes after the original block without even informing the original blocking admin? Vandals are not enitled to a full set of warnings and it appears all of his edits are anti-Scientology vandalism and an attack on another user. I really fail to see how AGF applies here.

Extension of block

Do you think that this IP you recently blocked, should get a longer block? It's been blocked numerous times before, per schoolblocks etc. and the edits seem to reflect the characteristics of a returning vandal. Regards, Rudget. 16:40, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.
'tis good for now. Thanks for taking it into consideration. Regards, Rudget. 16:53, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Transference of article from subpage to main page

Hello again. You recently removed my Madison+Main page and put it into my sandbox so that I could edit it. I was wondering if you might have a second look at the article now that it's been edited and, if its ready, assist me in moving it to the main portal of wikipedia. Thanks for your help thus far. --Defstef (talk) 17:28, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Beyt Tikkun keep?

Curious to know what the rationale for keeping the article when it clearly failed every test? Several admins chimed in and all stated as such. Bstone (talk) 19:05, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.
My addition to my first reply.
I thought an AfD was not based on opinion but rather based on policy? The article fails every test of policy. I even asked on AfD about mob keep and was assured that the closure would be based on policy and not majority vote. Bstone (talk) 20:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
My reply.
Huh? Your reply on my talk page is highly confusing. I may have been mistaken about the number of admins, but mob keep is what it seems happened. The article has failed the notability test, in my opinion, so I am curious how you decided to keep the article? Bstone (talk) 20:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

Spam in The Servant (book)?!...

Hello, Jauerback,

Why The Servant (book) has been deleted (so refused as... spam[?!]), while, The Little Prince (correctly, Le Petit Prince...) remains as valid article at this Wikipedia?

Note that the purpose of "The Sevant (book)" — under strict encyclopedic viewpoint — is exactly the same: to present, at this encyclopedic corpus, one more valid article about a literary work. Ex positis, why, in fact, has been deleted the referred article?

EgídioCamposDiz! 00:03, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.

Notability...

...is a so relative matter! Despite of all — and first of all — I wish to thank you for your short but complete deference about this question. However, I must point out that — as you have said — "(...) there was absolutely no assertion of notability in the book, so in it's form, it's only purpose could be interpreted as advertising or spam (...)" [sic, bold and italic forms are mine]. So... as "the writing's purpose could be interpreted as (...), it seems that a second or third different oppinion may be pointed, do not you think?

By according, by not, I thank you once more. The unique purpose of mine is (not was...) to provide a new useful article at this Wiki.

Best salutations! EgídioCamposDiz! 11:12, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion Review for Beyt Tikkun

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Beyt Tikkun. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Bstone (talk) 19:34, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

merger?

TracyLinkEdnaVelmaPenny Sockpuppet

I'm curious how you were able to determine with certainty that User:TracyLinkEdnaVelmaPenny is a sockpuppet. I reviewed the contributions and see some similarities (sheer volume, film related, and Yearinfilm dating), but what else would make it conclusive? It would explain the user's ignoring of all messages, however.
Jim Dunning | talk 14:52, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.
Cool. I never suspected sockpuppet. Thanks: I'll have another thing to look for in the future.
Jim Dunning | talk 15:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
My reply.
I felt the same way about the industry, but the refusal to discuss/change and the time involved with corrections was way too annoying. (Too bad about having to wait till next January.)
Jim Dunning | talk 16:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Good catch on User:TheStuffWillDriveYouNuts. I stumbled on it based on her IMDb account, but found you were ahead of me. It'll be interesting to see if she runs out of usernames.

Dionaea Page

Hi, Just wondering why you removed http://flytrapgrowing.info from the list of external links on the Dionaea page? Did you perhaps make an error? Or do you really consider that to be spam? Womblina (talk) 11:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Ah, my bad. I assumed that was you. But what exactly makes the site look spammy? I am confused.Womblina (talk) 04:02, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Status of a DJ

So what would have to be on a radio DJ's page to have a spot on Wikipedia??????? I see there are many pornstars on here........ they contribute WAY less to the society and their pages did not get deleted... KornCris, as well as other notable DJ's like MetalMish, deserve Wikipedia Pages.... Why did you delet KornCris? —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheGreaterGood (talkcontribs) 01:36, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Username hardblocks

Hi Jauerback. Usernames which are not created with an obvious and deliberate intention to vandalise should be softblocked, that is account creation enabled and autoblock disabled. Not like [1] and [2]. Thanks. -- zzuuzz (talk) 15:06, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Home Depot Category

Hey there, based on this discussion that I initiated back in January, I have created Category:Home Depot People. I can’t believe that your discussion of a rename turned into a delete discussion. There are some serious anti category people colluding at the categories for discussion page... you would've been better off renaming it yourself. Anyway, I hope this helps.--Dr who1975 (talk) 16:23, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

My reply.
Question, are you much of a knowledge expert on Home Depot's history and people... I could use somebody to peer review some of the articles I'm creating that relate to Home Depot people. Maybe add some information and sources that I didn;t find.--Dr who1975 (talk) 16:50, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

You should remove the protection on the talk page for user Douglasfgrego

Hey buddy, it's Doug Grego. I put in an unblock request this morning, and about an hour later you denied the request, but that's not all. You felt compelled to protect the talk page as well, and you cited as grounds abuse of the unblock template. What you didn't include was an explanation of exactly how making three unblock requests on the original day of the block, and then another one 5 days later constitutes abuse of the unblock template, and grounds locking a user's discussion page.

That is totally out of line, is an abuse of administrator power, and quite frank, is a Richard move.

So, I think you should go back in there, and first either unblock the account, or cite legitimate grounds for denying the unblock request, then, either remove the page protection or cite legitimate grounds for imposing a page protection. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 57.69.22.246 (talk) 15:25, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
