[edit] Article deletion

Hi JodyB,

A while ago I put up the article Eppo Doeve for speedy deletion. I thought it met the only criteria needed for G7 ("the page's only substantial content was added by its author"), criteria which allows for other authors and does not say notability comes into play. Could you point me to where Wikipedia's guidelines show that an article can meet all of the qualifications needed for deletion, be requested for deletion, and still be kept?

[edit] Thank you from Horologium

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed unanimously with the support of 100 editors. Your kindness is very much appreciated. I look forward to using the tools you have granted me to aid the project. I would like to give special thanks to Wizardman, Black Falcon and jc37 for nominating me. — Horologium

[edit] Centre for Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems

I added some references to Centre for Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems. Please see my comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Centre for Ultrahigh Bandwidth Devices for Optical Systems. --Eastmain (talk) 01:55, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Repeated vandalism by anon users

Just thought I'd let you know that there are anonymous users using their IP's vandalising the page Battle of Hubbardton, deleting my source as a British / German victory and citing it as an American tactical victory. (Trip Johnson (talk) 18:09, 10 May 2008 (UTC))

Some anon user is now at the same thing on the Battle of White Plains. Just thought it best to let you know before I usually get the warning for vandalism. (Trip Johnson (talk) 10:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC))
I have been out of pocket this weekend but at the moment both seem to be ok with you as the last editor. Is the White Plains article sourced? I know Hubbardton is. I may have missed something. -JodyB talk 10:18, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Aye, they are both sourced. (Trip Johnson (talk) 19:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC))
And now, Red4Tribe (surprisingly) is at the same thing on the Battle of Hubbardton's page. He made a ridiculous claim that he "could not see my sources" when they were clearly defined, and somehow brought up the conclusion that "both my sources are unreliable" without any effort to discuss it. You could consider this my reporting him if you wish, because I'm getting sick of him. (Trip Johnson (talk) 16:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC))
He did not add "reflist". Thus I could not see them. Both of his are unreliabel, not only said by me but others as well. I added references of my own. (Red4tribe (talk) 17:20, 13 May 2008 (UTC))
What that really means is sources that agree with his opinion are reliable, while those that disagree are unreliable. (Trip Johnson (talk) 18:47, 13 May 2008 (UTC))
You are very unreasonable Trip. Do not remove my dispute tag, it is disputed, not only by me but by a few others too. (Red4tribe (talk) 19:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC))

(outdent) Please notice at the top of the page that I am busy in real life. I am re-evaluating certain commitments and am focusing on core responsibilities. Please go to WP:MEDCAB and seek assistance there for ongoing mediation or assistance. I wish the best to you all. You are working on a part of the Wikipedia that is really important and deserves proper sourcing. Just don't let your passion overcome your better judgments. -JodyB talk 11:49, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WBOSITG's RfA

Hello JodyB, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for your participation in my RfA which was passed with a final tally of 114/10/4. I'm both shocked and honoured to gain so much support from users whom I admire and trust, and I hope I can avoid breaking that backing by being the best administrator I possibly can. I will take on board the opposition's comments and I hope to improve over the coming months and years. Once again, thank you! weburiedoursecretsinthegarden 20:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My RfA

Hi JodyB; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 21:48, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
