Gads! AC/DC edits by crazy kid

You posted a message to my IP Address about an edit to the AC/DC page. My son is a huge AC/DC fan, but clearly has no clue about Wikipedia use. Busted! I just had a very serious chat with him about Wikipedia vandalism. We are big fans here, and hope our IP address will forever be considered friendly... from now on, that is. Thanks for catching it.

Weird but...

Hi, Kubigula. Could you block me for 1 minute? I'm curious to see what it looks like. Thanks. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 04:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! Happy editing! Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 04:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
The backround is tan, and it there is that red octagon on the left. It says "JetLover, your account or IP address has been blocked by Kubigula for the following reason:

"user requested test"

Then it talks about what to do now that you are blocked. Cheers,JetLover (Report a mistake) 04:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Yeah - I guess that would have been easier.--Kubigula (talk) 02:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

A Question and a Heads-Up

Hey Dude! First, the heads-up: just wanted to let you know that I will be updated ALOT of the radio market templates for Virginia and will also try and get the rest of the VA radio stations done as well, so if you see them pop-up on the assessment page, you know it was from me. No rush though.

Second, the question: I didn't know there was a WikiProject Virginia Newsletter until I went to post this. How do I get one of those? I am already a member of WP:VA...not sure if I have to put my name somewhere to get the newsletter. Any help would be appericated. Take Care...NeutralHomer T:C 04:55, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

No worries, take your time. My talk page is always there, so add it when you get a spare couple moments (I think you are as busy as I on Wiki). Take Care...NeutralHomer T:C 03:01, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

WPVIRGINIA

Lookin good. When should we send these things out? End of the month? or beginning of Nov.? T Rex | talk 03:01, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

RE: My compliments

Thank you :). It always makes people feel better about mistakes when they are complimented on them. Your comment makes it easier to admit mistakes, so Wikipedia is systematically bettered. Alexbrewer 04:00, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Request for NPWatcher

Hi,

I'm requesting that you consider my request for approval of use of NPWatcher. I have asked Martin, but he is currently on wikibreak so I don't expect a reply anytime soon. You can view my request at this Checkpage

Howdy, thanks for the newsletter! Yep, I am in Arkansas, as I moved for law school. I still have strong ties with Virginia, and will be visiting several times a year. Still interested in helping as much as I can, in the time that law school allows! ~ (The Rebel At) ~ 02:06, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
1L indeed...and thanks for the confidence! I do get a lovely month off for Christmas, and I have several projects, including Wikipedia projects, I intend to tackle in that free time. Cheers! ~ (The Rebel At) ~ 20:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Junkygood

Could you let me know why you deleted my page? And not with a tag. The band had former members of the Semibeings and therefore is significant enough for a mention in here. Hayashiantibush Hayashiantibush 20:30, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

re: junkygood

It wasn't in June...It was today. I just wrote it up. Immediately deleting without giving the person a chance to argue his case just doesn't seem fair. I do aplogize for writing that. But I felt attacked and acted impulsively. It's people on here like you that are bringing out the worst in me. This is why: It just seems to me that it's unfair that you are choosing to delete this when there's alot worse to me found here. I find that in itself to be a bit of a personal attack. I'm working hard to get these guys rightfully in here. You seem to just want to come along and wipe it out. It's subjective. If it was downright Un-notabile, then it would be different. But it's not. I plan to state more of my case so at least give me a chance to.HayashiantibushHayashiantibush 01:02, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Deleted contribs

Could you do me a favor, as I cannot view deleted history, and tell me who placed the speedy delete tag on Rock Solid/4:20 ? It was deleted because the artist who recorded it was deleted despite being notable and I would like to contact the person who placed the tag. Thanks. T Rex | talk 01:30, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again. T Rex | talk 03:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Stephens City

Hey Dude, I was wondering if you could help me out. I did my best on rewriting the Stephens City history (some parts I couldn't write it better), but of course, I am running into problems already. The last time, I submitted permission from the Newtown Heritage Center to use the article, but according to Mufka, it was "not formatted properly" according to them. I was supposed to get something from ComComm about it, never did. Mufka said he would get an explanation, never did. Personally, I think it is alot of stonewalling and people not doing their jobs. Since this falls under WP:VA is there anyway you can help? If so, I would greatly appericate it. Take Care....NeutralHomer T:C 23:01, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey Dude, many thanks! I am glad that you and Goodshoped35110s were there to help cause I was just about to give up. I will have the people at the Newtown History Center send in the information (using that template) tomorrow morning. Again, many thanks for your help, I appericate it. Take Care...NeutralHomer T:C 03:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for supporting me in my recent RFA which unfortunately did not pass at (47/23/5). I will be sure to improve my editing skills and wait till someone nominates me next time. Have a great day(or night)! --Hdt83 Chat 05:40, 5 November 2007 (UTC)


Regarding this deletion

You deleted this article under G10, but I tagged it as G1. It just looked like patent nonsense to me. Sorry for the incorrect tagging.--U.S.A.U.S.A.U.S.A. 03:31, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

An application of BIO

I got involved in Mitch Clem at AfD. Can you look at the references and let me know whether you think I'm right on his notability. He is not an important topic, but this illustrates an important application of the BIO and Notability rules. I think that the Minnesota Public Radio spot is just about enough, then the mention in PC World, while not in-depth clearly is saying this person is noticed. The other comixtalk source is marginal, but I think that it adds to credibilty. It appeares that Comixtalk has a blog section, but where he is covered is more akin to an online magazine in a scheduled and dated issue. Cheers! --Kevin Murray 15:39, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

No one expects a Pigman admin!

Wallowing in my RfA: This time it's personal...
My sincere thanks for your support in my request for adminship, which ended with 51 supports, 0 opposes, and 0 neutral. Doubtless it was an error to put one of the government-bred race of pigmen in any position of authority, but I hope your confidence in me proves justified. Even a man pure of heart and who says his prayers at night can become a were-boar when the moon is full and sweet. Fortunately, I'm neither a were-pig nor pure of heart so this doesn't appear to be an imminent danger to Wikipedia for the moment. Fortunate as well because were-pig hooves are hell on keyboards and none too dexterous with computer mice. If ever I should offend, act uncivil, misstep, overstep, annoy, violate policy, or attempt to topple the fascist leadership of Wikipedia, please let me know so I can improve my behaviour and/or my aim. I am not an animal; I am an admin. And, of course, if there is any way in which I can help you on Wikipedia, please do not hesitate to ask me. Despite my japes, I am indeed dedicated to protecting and serving Wikipedia to the best of my foppish and impudent abilities. I will strive to be an admirable admin, shiny and cool, reasonable and beatific. Pigmanwhat?/trail 05:41, 8 November 2007 (UTC)
Post Scriptum: I believe my collaged graphic at left, which incorporates the WP globe and mop image, falls under the rubric of parody for my purposes here. Or is it satire? Regardless, it's a legitimate and legally protected First Amendment usage under US law. Complaints and allegations that this is an improper "fair use" image will be entertained on my talk page, probably with fruit juice, finger food and exotic coffees.

Princess Frederica of Hanover

Is there a central area where I can comment about the individual notability of royalty where admins who deal with deletions can see it? Having a title does not always make a person notable, especially when an article is only a genealogical entry. Charles 04:18, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

My only reason for "lengthy" reasons is because I have always been told to be concise and thorough, which I actually struggled with for Frederica. There are only so many ways you can say someone is not notable. My rational for speedy is that there is no assertion of notability. Outside of the content of the article, "princess" is only a part of her name and does not lend to the notability of the individual for purposes of inclusion on Wikipedia. I have previously found the blank statement of "notable because of title" to be a sloppy precedent and genuinely wonder if it is a misunderstanding among both editors and administrators to declare people notable on the basis of a title that was not unique to them. In the case of a lengthy reason again, it serves to prove why these things shouldn't go to Afd, they close as delete. I am not annoyed at any admins, just the reasoning behind it. It seems to somehow become an unwritten policy. Charles 04:38, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thomas and Friends video releases (US)

I'm not sure what you mean by elaborate. TobytheTramEngine 22:27, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, I can't think of an answer. I'll let you know when I have one. TobytheTramEngine 22:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
Hi. I have PRODed this page. Please see the talk page for details.
Toby's reason for requesting deletion was that the page had been 'rescued' (ie copied) to the Train Spotting World wiki, where notability requirements essentially do not apply. Therefore, as the content was now 'safe', there was no reason for the page to remain here.
EdJogg 00:54, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for clarifying. It was close enough to be a recreation of the previously deleted article that I went ahead and deleted it under WP:CSD#G4. It's unfortunate when the Wikipedia process is tough on our younger editors, so I commend you in the way you dealt with this.--Kubigula (talk) 04:25, 10 November 2007 (UTC)


Kubigula, why did you change my edits man? I'm trying to improve wikipedia, please let me contribute. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.9.100 (talk) 05:39, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Missouri Collegiate Mathematics Competition

Kubigula, I noticed that you deleted an article I worked on but did *not* create: Missouri Collegiate Mathematics Competition. I have to disagree that the competition is not notable just because it does not appear to be covered in another source like a newspaper. I have noticed thousands of articles on Wikipedia about sports competitions between colleges. I suppose one can point to the sports section of a newspaper to justify some of those articles. However, just because it may be *****profitable***** for another source to provide coverage on a football game between 2 schools and not provide coverage on a mathematics competition between dozens of schools, does not seem to be a fair reason to say that the mathematics competition is not notable! Please reconsider this deletion. I do hope we can set a precedent here. It's easy to pick on articles like this one that do not have many similar articles as, say, an article about a trophy for a college football rivalry does. Still, sheer numbers do not always determine what is notable for some people. Thank you! Synesthetic 09:07, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kubigula. There was a source listed for the article in the discussion. Someone said it wasn't independent because it was a newspaper of one of the schools that had a team in the competition. If that logic were to apply across the board, you could argue that a city's newspaper is not an independent source for an article on that city's baseball team. Sounds silly. I see a ton of articles that don't have references but they don't get deleted. Please see if we can restore the article with the source that was found or at least mark it as needing more references instead of simply deleting it. Thank you! Synesthetic 05:26, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi Kubigula. Thanks for your response. I will look for another good source. Synesthetic (talk) 01:10, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Prema Sai Baba

Prema Sai Baba is an idea stated by one man, that someone will be born someday. The article is tagged as a WPBiography but contains no details of any actions of a person alive or deceased or even fictional. It is also tagged in the scope of Hindu Mythology but this is comparable to saying the future child of Tammy Faye Baker is to be a part of the Holy Trinity and quailfies as Christian Mythology. I think the admins are dead wrong on this one and choosing to placate the Sai Baba faction with another entry. This article is the espousal of one man's doctrine at best and in that sense is originally flawed as an encyclopedic article. You might as well post an article on every person that holds a streetcorner sign that reads "The End is Near". Now let's see if I can get that article 'The Moon is made of Green Cheese' accepted to Wiki. ---Iconoclast Horizon 14:55, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Jesus the 2nd

I personally don't have an opinion about the Prema Sai Baba Issue, I just didn't know wiki cited predictions of people as biographically mertiable. I understand that I didn't get the procedure right for deletion, then apparently didn't get it right again before someone swiftly deleted the tag. Instead, I think I am just going to write a biography article entitled Jesus the 2nd, since I can quote thousands of people that say he is to be born and cite lot's of references to the same effect. But I am sure that would get a speedy deletion tag in about 30 seconds.---Iconoclast Horizon 17:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Statuts of migration to standard warnings

Hi! I saw one of those rude non-standard warning templates again today, and it reminded me to ask you if you had a sense of the status and issues with the eventual redirection to the standard warning templates. I know you've been part of WP:UW longer than me, so I thought you might have a better sense of where things are. Bsherr (talk) 16:49, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you, sir, for your show of faith! I would be most honoured! --Kralizec! (talk) 17:05, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
