[edit] AfD

Based on what I've seen from you on AfD, I think that you might have something to add to the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cart00ney. I'd appreciate you weighing in on the matter in either direction. Savidan 18:24, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

thank you for creating my page.

[edit] Discussion

Hello:

You just tagged an article stub I wrote on Igor Ryjenkov, MW. I'm assuming that you're not a wine person? The Master of Wine is a highly distinguished title (putting him in league with Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson, to name but two), and that he is Canada's only MW is certainly a notable accomplishment. Cheers. Angel Thane 20:44, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Ah, okay - I was just questioning it. That would be notable, then. -- Mithent 20:46, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


Hello Mithent - Hopefully posting this to the correct place. Was wondering why you tagged my article [F2 and F1 (Zebrafish) Screening] for cleanup - i.e. can you be more specific than "Tagged cleanup.. I don't know what to do with this!" please? Many Thanks M

  • Well, I wasn't really sure whether it needed wikifying, or moving to Wikibooks. It has useful information, but it might be better suited to the textbook style of Wikibooks. I admit that my comment wasn't the most helpful though! -- Mithent 13:59, 16 March 2006 (UTC)


You tagged my article "the grassy knoll project" for deletion after assuming it was a student ran program. It was not.

Nor was the radio station at the time a "student" radio station. Additionally, the grassy knoll project is a syndicated and copyrighted program still being distributed. Thanks.

  • I can't verify it, but since you de-prodded your article, it has gone to Articles for Deletion. You might want to state why it should be kept on that page, if you feel it should. -- Mithent 00:37, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


I noticed you prodded a book earlier that I unprodded. Did you happen to do any research on the book at all before prodding it? Just curious, because And I Don't Want to Live This Life is about Sid Vicious murdering someone, and it was published via Random House. Figured I'd let you know. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 01:56, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I did a Google search on its title, which seemed to turn up a lot of song lyrics and some places to buy the book, and checked its Amazon.com sales rating, which is not especially high (around the #100,000 mark over the last two days). Those metrics, unscientific as they may be (I'm aware the Amazon rank only refers to current popularity), combined with the rather vague initial article just mentioning a girl killed by her boyfriend were enough to make me think it was just another book, albeit a sad story. The Sid Vicious connection does make it more notable, though. -- Mithent 02:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for dropping by my talk page and leaving the AfD information for me there. i am still fence-sitting about this, but i see that you have quite a bit of experience deleting articles. Try Tyr (journal) and see my comment on Talk:Tyr (journal). The page is linked in from Radical traditionalism, itself proposed for merging Traditional School. As i undertand it, the journal is a self-published outlet for a group of writers hoping to break away from the Traditional School; the Tyr (journal) page, however, is nothing but a spammy ad for the (not notable) journal. If you think that i am correct in this, please let me know and i will follow you as you go through the deletion process. I would rather just sit and watch you do it the first time, before initiating such a move myself. If i am wrong about the journal page being a vanity page, please let me know why.

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Leavenworth cable listings

Since you originally prodded it, I thought I'd let you know that Leavenworth cable listings is at AfD. NickelShoe (Talk) 22:14, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks! -- Mithent 01:37, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your Opinion Does Not Matter(YODNM)

Hmm, I hadn't realized it had already had a prod tag added and removed: I pulled it off of the New pages page, and generally don't check the history for those. Boy, that was fast, then. --Calton | Talk 00:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

  • No problem - I was more noting it was up for AfD. -- Mithent 01:05, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Logo contests

Hi! Assuming you are the same Mithent who proposed a logo over here, I thought you might be interested in the contests for a meta:logo for Incubator and a meta:New logo for Wiktionary. I'd love to see some proposals from you. =] Looking forward to your participation! —Nightstallion (?) 05:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks! I'll give it some thought :) -- Mithent 10:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
    Great! —Nightstallion (?) 20:53, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Missing image Image:Free-speech-flag.svg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Free-speech-flag.svg, by Strangerer, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Free-speech-flag.svg is an image page for a missing or corrupt image or an empty image description page for a Commons-hosted image.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Free-speech-flag.svg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. This bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Free-speech-flag.svg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. Thanks. --Android Mouse Bot 2 15:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
