[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Geeks Paradox

Geeks Paradox had already been prodded before you got to it, so I've moved it to AfD. Thought I'd let you know. NickelShoe 00:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Much appreciated, thanks for letting me know!  (aeropagitica)  01:48, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jeff Kent (John Boy and Billy)

that is completely fine with me if that goes away, I deleted it from the official page and I forgot to get rid of that one. The whole article needs to gotten rid of or redone. --Leopold Samsonite

[edit] Aldeberan whiskey ProD

Thanks for letting me know. After review, it was pretty crufty; I've deleted the article. JDoorjam Talk 17:13, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Removed prod

Thank you for setting me straight. I found Timothy Albee in speedy deletions[1] which I go through twice daily. I put on the prod tag to stop that. I didn't think simply removing it without fixing or contesting it was the way it was done but again thanks for setting me straight so I shall know that the next time.--Dakota ~ ° 04:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Destroke Deleted?

Why did you delete this article?

I just barely started it!

Don't make me bitter.

"Having an article you created deleted without even being notified about it is not likely to turn somebody into a better contributor, only a bitter one" - You. —This unsigned comment is by Pawlstevenz (talk • contribs) .

Hi there. Thanks for reading my user page. No, I didn't delete the article. I saw that it was on the list of articles which had been proposed for deletion, so I left you a note about it. At the time I left the note the article hadn't been deleted yet.
I don't remember what the article was about, otherwise I'd try to help you understand the reason. If you click Destroke, there'll be a link that says deletion log. What the deletion log says is that User:The Epopt deleted the article after it had been proposed for deletion for five days. You might want to review the proposed policy at WP:PROD.
If you would like to know the reason article was considered inappropriate for Wikipedia, you might ask User:The Epopt. You might also review WP:DP for the deletion policy here. Because the article was deleted thru "prod" (as opposed to the debate-oriented AfD), if you would like him/her to restore the article, he/she should do so. But keep in mind that if it doesn't meet Wikipedia standards, it could still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion for discussion, where you could explain why you think the article should be kept, but experienced editors may decide that it really shouldn't be.
If you have any more questions, please let me know (and please sign your posts on talk pages with ~~~~). NickelShoe 13:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. I am unsure what you mean by sign with Pawlstevenz 22:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC). I'm a newbie, but I'm trying. I still have to talk to someone about why my article was deleted, been very busy with non-wiki related things.

When signing with Pawlstevenz 22:12, 16 March 2006 (UTC), do you mean like this?

Thanks NickelShoe, I have edited the article i have created, please let me know, if it is ok now. —This unsigned comment is by 81.215.118.187 (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Occasional Guests

It is fine with me if occasional guests goes away, I think the whole John Boy and Billy article should be nominated for a re-write. I think it has gotten out of hand. Ijust put that there to try and clean up a little bit --Leopold Samsonite

[edit] Elbow Room

I deprodded Elbow Room by Daniel Dennett. The article could use some work, but this is an important book on free will which I happen to own. I'm not sure why you thought it was nonsense? NickelShoe 19:10, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi, actually, you really did a lot to fix up this article! When I read your notice and clicked on the page, I couldn't understand why I had prodded it either. But when I went to the edit history and saw what it looked like at the time, I see why I put the {{prod}} tag on there. At that point, it was just a solipsistic list of questions with answers, and I couldn't make heads or tails of what the article was about; moreover it was in a completely unencyclopedic style. Also, I wasn't saying that the book was nonsense, but that the article was. In any case, you improved it quite a bit, and as it stands now I have no problem with the article staying. Thanks! --Deville (Talk) 20:59, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re: My360

I restored the prod tag because the editor who removed it neither explained nor changed anything in the article. The editor might have blanked the whole article as well including the tag, reverting it will cause the tag to be "restored;" or should it also be removed in that case? Thanks. - Eagletalk 22:18, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

An objection is an objection, regardless of whether the reasoning is explained. Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion#Reason for removal and [[Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion#Re-{{prod}}ed pages?]] tackle these questions. Consensus seems to be that removing the deletion notice is obviously an objection to the deletion. Blanking the page is almost certainly an endorsement to the deletion, which might even make it speediable as author request in some cases.
The annoying thing is that the counter resets when the tag is removed and restored, so if you get the feeling a person might blank it again, you might send it to AfD just to keep the timer from resetting over and over. NickelShoe 22:26, 15 March 2006 (UTC)


[edit] prods

thanks for telling me, but I think I will leave them there because it looks like they will be deleted following Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Suzi9mm. I posted a message on Talk:DeviantART about it so if anyone else thinks theyre worth having they can remove it -- Astrokey44|talk 22:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Why delete?

I demand an explanation for my article being nominated for deletion. The only problem is that it's short. Please reply. --Liasos 02:24, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Skincage

Skincage is notable in the underground, after all if you can list black metal bands and reggae bands I've never heard of, I can list Skincage. He has a big following, you may not listen to Coil/glitchtronic/death industrial, but in the underground music scene..People do like him. Therefore, he should have a place on Wikipedia. —This unsigned comment was added by Aoecean (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Please don't add pages to the main Lists category

Instead, take the extra seconds to figure out which sub-category it belongs in. Thanks. --JeffW 19:15, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

No harm done. I've just spent a week emptying the main category and I guess I'm stuck with periodically monitoring it for articles needing attention. I was thinking that maybe people had just gotten used to sticking Category:Lists on their articles and now that I cleaned it up a reminder would be needed to get them to take another look at the category and see that it isn't being done that way anymore. --JeffW 21:44, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bowzo, Image:Youngviolinist.jpg

The latter of these urgently requires removal - it was uploaded to Wikipedia by mistake, and there seems to be no easy way of correcting these things. It has started something of a war, and urgently needs resolving. Whilst I can be more careful in the future, it's really bad that you can easily make things, but can't correct errors like this, say within the first week of uploading them. I appreciate that Wikipedia relys on content being uploaded and added, but by not being at all forgiving it is really off-putting when a mistake has been made.

As for the Bowzo article, I was merely trying to describe this thing, and on reflection agree that it is not the ideal location for it. Although I could change the page title, I regret that my use of English is not interpreted as intended outside England. Many apologies, I would rather you just delete the whole thing. —This unsigned comment was added by Coolvid2000 (talk • contribs) .

A war? Not sure what you mean. I don't see any messages about it on your talk page, and no relevant history to the image itself. How has it been off-putting? We try not to rush deletions, especially of images, unless we're sure that there's no good reason to have them. What do you mean about the interpretation of English? This an international encyclopedia, which included plenty of speakers of British English.
I've never been involved in image deletion, but if you add {{db-author}} to it, that will at least put it on a list that will get the attention of someone who knows the right way to do it. Hope that helps.
Also, when you post to talk pages, it is helpful if you sign your comments with ~~~~, which is converted to your user name and the current time/date when you save the page. That way people can find who's talking to them easily. NickelShoe (Talk) 16:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Becherovka 300cl.jpg

Thanks for contributing this image to Wikipedia. I am afraid this image is unlikely to be a good replacement of Image:Becherovka bottle.jpg: the latter image is licensed under the GFDL license; the former one has come from the official website of Becherovka and I was unable to verify that they allow it to be used for any (this includes commercial) purpose. A fair use claim might be reasonable, but it is Wikipedia's policy that a free image should be used if one is available. (I have nominated your image for deletion. Sorry for any inconvenience.)

Regards, Mike Rosoft 16:11, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you thought I uploaded this image? I don't even know how to upload an image. The image history indicates you want User:Welkinridge. NickelShoe (Talk) 18:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marxist philosophy before Marx

Thanks for alerting me.I was meaning to flesh out this article but I appreciate your concerns.I am still working on it as I felt it was an important subject.I have added snippets and a reference and being new would appreciate your guidance. Thanks again.(Vr 06:02, 21 March 2006 (UTC))

Marxist philosophy before mArx

Thanks once again for your comments.I appreciate your assistance.I have just discovered that an article on Diggers already exists in the Wiki.The movement was started by Winstanley the person I have named.It was about disavowal of private ownership.I also note an article on Fourier who was a French socialist before Marx.On googling I found several references to Marcus Thrane and discovered that an article already exists in the Swedish Wiki.Blahn can also be found on googling.Thrane also finds reference in HISTORY OF SCANDINAVIA.I do not know how to place all these references and would welcome your guidance.Also the encylopedia mentions that tenetes similar to Marxist philosophy existed before Marx but never became popular.(Vr 06:16, 22 March 2006 (UTC))

Marxist philosophy before Marx

Hi again.I discussed the article with some friends and they suggested that the title can be altered-Pre-Marx Socialists would be more appropriate.I seem to agree but is ther any way this can be done?Thanks.Also I must apologise-the book History of Scandinavia is by Derry-I had omitted the author's name(Vr 05:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC))

You can move the article with the tab at the top that says "move". But don't capitalize "socialists" if you do. Check out WP:NC for the guidelines on how to name articles. NickelShoe (Talk) 05:27, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List of New Zealand musicians

[edit] Lord Lyryx M.L.

I am not Lord Lyryx M.L., but I have heard of his material and have followed his group in the past for a long time. I have no affiliation with the original Street Kids group in Dallas... but I know the local radio station in Dallas, Texas: "K104.5" can confirm that his original group is did in fact, exist. Lyryx M.L. is said to be on orders to Iraq in the summer, but he will later explain his future career to local rap radio stations in Dallas, Texas before May 10th. He'll also explain about his thoughts and feelings about heading toward a Major Record Label. You asked for "Has been the subject of a half hour or hour broadcast on a national radio network." K104 should be able to confirm that he was indeed a subject and guest on K104 for more than 30 minutes. He was also on local news channels in Dallas such as WFAA TV (Channel 8 in Dallas) (should be archived). But he was MOST DEFINATELY on the "Mr. Peppermint Show" and "Peppermint Place" as a guest and performer. (Source is WFAA TV Dallas, Texas.). So yes was indeed on Television as well as radio. k104 contact information may be found at http://www.k104fm.com.

[edit] Prod at Leavenworth cable listings

When it is deleted by the person who created the article who is a persistent vandal who has been indefinitely blocked through several usernames...it is vandalism and it deserves to be restored. Please take context into account when you're judging these things. --Zpb52 04:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I disagree. If you had been dealing with this vandal as long as I have, you would understand how he works. He immediately reverts any changes made to an article he creates or edits himself. To him, a prod notice was nothing more than a standard edit. Again, please take into context the circumstances of the situation. --Zpb52 04:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Consumarchy

Dear NickelShoe,

I would like to know whether you are aware of an English equivalent for the word 'consumarchy' (a word increasingly used by scholars - see definition below). It would be interesting to know WHO decides whether a useful neologism is rejected or not on this site. Is this an Orwellian question? I have the feeling that Lawrence Glickman, a specialist in the historical developments of consumarchic initiatives in the US may end up having an interesting story to write about Wikipedia's refusal to enter the term in its database!?! Kind regards,

Consumarchy* is defined in contrast to consumerism; the pursuit of self-interest, dear to consumerism, generally gives way to the effects of a sense of openness and solidarity within the consumarchic system.

Thanks to consumarchy, consumers have the choice of combining, in their purchasing decisions, the proximate attributes of goods (e.g., their price or manufacturing quality) with their peripheral attributes (e.g., the conditions under which they are produced). It may then be viewed as a system by which consumers can exert moral or other authority on enterprises through a more enlightened selection of consumer products.

To date, environmental protection (also understood as the promotion of future generations’ well-being), decent working conditions, as well as the humane treatment of animals are among the spheres toward which the ethical preferences of consumers appear to be heading. Among the most advanced forms of consumarchic devices are the dolphin-safe, free-trade, child labour free, and forestry (eco) labelling initiatives.

  • From consummare (Lat.), to consume, and arkhê (Gr.), command.
Things are done by consensus. You saw the AfD discussion, no doubt. People show up and talk about what they think. The "who" is Wikipedia editors like you and me. The question is not how useful it is, but rather how used it is, and how encyclopedically it can be treated. Wikipedia is not a publisher of new words, even if they are quite useful. That's just not our goal, because we take seriously that information should be verifiable. If the usage of this word is published in third-party sources, that's pretty much all that was needed to save the article, assuming you could write it in a way that didn't make it a mere dictionary definition.
Threats aren't useful, so need of bothering. Perhaps you would like to contribute to articles on established topics? NickelShoe (Talk) 15:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] nn-game?

[edit] octomatics

I've even left the lowercase on purpose, but people seem to get too disturbed with that. I did it because the website also did it. Someone came in and chaged two paragraphs to first uppercase letter, but forgot oddly about two others.

Anyway, thanks for the warning!

I was expecting more people would support the article, I knew as it is it would sooner or later be voted for deletion, but I wasn't sure myself if it was an article worthy of wikipedia or not. I think the subject is way more worthy than lots of subjects I've seem, it's an interesting science study and it has a growth potential. But I couldn't imagine or have the time to build the article better so far.

Maybe that would be much better under wikinews, I've just never been there or used it. Although I don't believe in the project itself I've enjoyed to see the attempt, and it's much better than any other previous number system attempt i've seem, and I've done some deeper studies on numeral history myself.

Maybe it could be just a citation on octal article...

I wasn't trying to stop the debate, I was trying to have the page deleted quickly. There was no debate on the AFD page so there wasn't any harm done. I checked before I removed it and I just checked now. Get over it. --Walter Görlitz 06:04, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

I don't care what the Wikipedia policy of using spaces are. There are many style guides that will tell you that a [computer is not a typewriter]. I will not argue the point though. I no longer wish to carry on this discussion. If you continue it I will consider it to be harassment. Thanks. --Walter Görlitz 06:20, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Technosigner

Sorry,

I am new to Wikidedia and did not understand the criterea for an entry. Technosigner is definately a neologism. I would like to have it deleted and save the dialog trouble. Can you advise?


Richard

No problem. Go back to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Technosigner and strike out your "keep" vote. Like this: <s>Keep</s>, which yields Keep. (Sorry if you already knew how to do that, just making sure.) Then make a new comment at the bottom saying that you are the author and you change your vote to delete, based on Wikipedia guidelines you didn't know about before. Since you're the one who wrote the article, they may close the discussion early. Normally it sits on AfD for five days or more to get a good chance to let people express their opinions, but there are a few cases where articles can be deleted faster. Make sense?

In regards to Brand Mercatus, I have now added references and a bit more copy. This company did catch the headlines in its Malaysian operations when it was linked as the PR agency of KFC. It was a bit controversial because it issued a press release announcing the suspension of the then MD of KFC, who questioned the appointment of the agency without his approval. Give me some time to add to the article. Thanks. -- S Masters 07:30, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

One more thing... Am I suppose to discuss this anywhere? I can't seem to find any discussion of it despite searching. Thanks. -- S Masters 09:02, 26 March 2006 (UTC)

The article talk page is all. There's no centralized deletion discussion for prod, because it's only for uncontroversial deletions. If there's disagreement and stuff, the article is sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, which does have a centralized discussion. NickelShoe (Talk) 03:29, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AMSROUND

So you deleted my AMSROUND contribution without telling me why? Now I can't get it back to improve it. So much for those few hours of writing - you're right - if you're reckless about the way you delete things (as I believe you have been) I don't feel the least bit motivated to contribute in the future. So why not leave articles around for at least long enough to gather a little commentary before ZAPPING? —This unsigned comment was added by Davewhittle (talk • contribs) .

Hi. Thanks for the message. As a courtesy for other editors on Wikipedia, please sign your talk page and user talk page posts. By adding four tildes (~) at the end of your comments, your user name or IP address and the date will be automatically added. Makes it tons easier to find you to respond to your concerns.
So, first, I did not delete the article. I simply saw that it was up for deletion and told you about it. Sorry if you didn't get the message until after the article was already deleted. If you click the redlink and view the deletion log [2], you'll see that User:The Epopt is the admin who deleted the article after it had sat for five days without any objections to the deletion.
Second, although I did not go into detail about why another editor had proposed the article for deletion, I did provide you with the link to Wikipedia's notability guidelines for articles about web-related materials. Did you read the link? I don't remember the article (since I wasn't actually the one who proposed it for deletion), but if it is a website that doesn't meet those guidelines, then it was not appropriate for Wikipedia.
If you've read those guidelines and believe the subject is notable according to Wikipedia guidelines, you can simply ask to have the article restored. Because this particular deletion process (WP:PROD) relies on the lack of objection to the deletion rather than a discussion, any article deleted thru this process can be restored on request. Simply ask User:The Epopt to do this for you. (Refer this user to WP:PROD#Closing_guideline_for_administrators if they think they shouldn't restore the article. It's a new process, so some people aren't used to all the rules.)
But please remember that the article has to meet certain criteria to be kept. If it does not show that the subject is notable, someone will probably nominate it for deletion thru a discussion-oriented process (WP:AFD) to make a more or less final decision. You would of course be able to contribute to the discussion, but if the article was deleted, it wouldn't be restored for you. Hope that helps. NickelShoe (Talk) 04:51, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Re Betty Friedan

Induced vs. legal abortion.

You're absurd comments made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever. Needless to say, they don't fly. Friedan supported legal abortion, not "induced" abortion, whatever that is, as that could refer to having to terminate a pregnancy for health reasons, etc. which anyone with a brain would support (which excludes the Nathansons).

[edit] Dr.John Saw

The reason I restored the prod is that the page is a duplicate of Dr. John Saw, which remains on prod. The rules are the rules, and I'm not trying to violate anything, but it seemed fairly pointless to me to prod one and AFD the other. They're probably both speedy candidates to me, but other users had assigned the prod tag before I saw them. --DMG413 16:07, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Betty Friedan and abortion

Sorry, but I am not going to engage in abortion debate with you. I respect your opinion if you oppose it, but I am not getting into it. In any event the term "legal" will remain for clarity's sake.

Thanks!! Brandubh Blathmac 02:46, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] prod

Sorry, I don't usually do this, it just seemed more like an act of vandalism rather than a genuine belief that the article was legit, so I saved some time restoring it, assuming he wouldn't come back to remove it again. -Obli (Talk)? 17:47, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up about the prod tag. --Fang Aili 說嗎? 18:32, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Sesquiannual

I'm going to add Sesquiannual back in as: 1) There is an entry for annual and centinnial 2) It's useful entry, even though there is not much too it. —This unsigned comment was added by Brian a lee (talk • contribs) .

Thanks for the idea about Sesquiannual. I'll add the definition to the annual page and then hope it shows up in the search. It's useful to have a page though so it will show up as a link in trillian or that kind of stuff.

[edit] Fernetear

Hello NickleShoe, it has come to my attention that you posted a complaint on the topic of Fernetear. I myself love Wikipedia and spend hours learning stuff. Recently I have posted the post of Fernetear and saw that the validity of the word's existence. The problem is that this word is known solely in the town of Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia, hence, not very many people know about it. It is, however, a real word in this part of the world and would like to teach it to the millions of Wiki users out there, thanx —This unsigned comment was added by Klaw (talk • contribs) .

Hi! It helps if you sign your posts with ~~~~, so I can find who I'm talking to.
Thanks for the message. I actually made no complaint. You'll see from the page history [3] that User:LaurenMcMillan proposed the article for deletion. Seeing that, I thought you'd want to know, and thought it would be helpful if you knew where to read the relevant Wikipedia policy.
Although I'm sure you meant well in posting the article, even if the word is real, it still has to be notable and verifiable. Make sure you've read the important policy at WP:V. As an encyclopedia, we have to take this seriously, so that even if you can vouch for it, we need some published sources somewhere. Wikipedia isn't the place to spread the word about something, but instead to record it afterward.
Did that help? NickelShoe (Talk) 20:29, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen McCauley

I created this page a few minutes ago and now there is this tag on it. I actually created it earlier today but it was deleted. I haven't had much time to enlarge but I can assure you this is a valid article. This author wrote The Object of my Affection which was turned into a movie starring Jennifer Aniston and Paul Rudd. He's published five novels, the latest just this month and it has been given five star reviews from people and entertainment weekly magazines. Maybe people shouldn't just delete articles without looking to see if they're ok. I wasn't even given a day and poof the thing is gone. Nazis! Bremen 05:55, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Check out WP:CSD for the criteria that allow immediate deletion of an article. If you've got time to include relevant information in my talk page, which not in the article, where it'll help the readers and prevent the article from being speedily deleted as not asserting notability. 06:00, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok thanks. I might have some time now to update the article a bit. Bremen 06:05, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Now I've added some more info. Can I take the tag off now? Bremen 06:12, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok, should I list sale figures? Call him a bestselling author? Bremen 06:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Visit Zambia Campaign

Please can you tell me why you decided to place the article and links I provided for deletion. The Visit Zambia Campaign is a marketing campaign started by the Government of Zambia to help in promoting and marketing Zambia. The website http://www.visitzambia.co.zm is a website that covers issues to do with the Visit Zambia Campaign and the tourism industry in Zambia. Please reconsider not deleting any Visit Zambia Campaign material on this website. You can confirm this information by contact Zambia National Tourist Board http://www.zambiatourism.com. Thanking you in advance.


[edit] Help With Format?

Excuse me, but can you please help me format the album cover images on The VG Cats (Popomundo)? You've worked on that page once and so I assume you know what you're doing. I don't know nearly as much of what to do. If you could help me I'd be very thankful.

Thank you in advance,
Shane Lynch

I did a little bit, enough that you can play around with it to see how you like it (using preview, of course, no need to save every different possible way). NickelShoe (Talk) 03:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that for me. :) I might mess around with it a bit now. —This unsigned comment was added by GorillazRDaBest (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Raj Tarangini

Hello, I just found out that an article on Rajtaringini already exists at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajatarangini. Could you create a link from the version I created to the main version? Thanks, Kalhana

[edit] Owlpen and Uleybury

You helped me today about Uleybury entry but my entry to Owlpen has totally disappeared - why? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Julian Hensey (talk • contribs) .

Click the redlink, then click "deletion log" [4]. The page was twice deleted as a copyright violation--make sure to write articles in your own words. The last time you created it it was deleted because you weren't trying to write an article but trying to figure out about the article getting deleted (see WP:CSD). Does that help? NickelShoe (Talk) 20:23, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

Well since I got permission to use the text, I really think people should ask before instantly deleting things. Yes thanks it helps, but ask before deletion would be far better way to run the system.

[edit] Beans, Beans

Thank you for your suggestion, but I'm wondering, what has drawn you to conclude that "Beans, Beans, the Magical Fruit" is more common than "Beans, Beans, the Musical Fruit"? The entry has only one verifiable source, the "Whacking Day" Simpsons episode. In that episode, "Musical" is used. Not trying to be snarky, but do you have other sources where "Magical" is used instead? I just haven't seen any evidence that "Magical" is the more common usage.

Respectfully, JB Waltz

Like I said, Please read the talk page. I ran a google search on three variations and Magical was by far the most common. Now there are other ways to test usage, but you haven't offered any. NickelShoe (Talk) 03:47, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WIki entries ignored by Google

Why is it that Google ignores entries from Wikipedia during a search? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Joelord (talk • contribs) .

It doesn't. Run Google searches on encyclopedia subjects like "Civil War" [5] or "Pythagorean theorem" [6], and you'll see we're on the first page.
I'm no expert, but new pages from any site aren't going to show up on a Google search instantaneously, because Google has to actually find the page and collect data on it first. And there's some speculation that Google makes a page be a little older before bringing it up on a search [7]. NickelShoe (Talk) 02:05, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Footiemanager

I think you can delete my article as I do not have enough time to complete the guide yet. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Phibeon (talk • contribs) .

[edit] Editor Jaguar1540 and Bloggy style

Hi NickelShoe,

You tagged the article with propose deletion - which I 100% agree with. The author removed the prod tag without either improving the article or mentioning the removal of prod in the edit history. I've restored the ProD tag. Since they are a new editor I left a friendly, but firm, note on their talk page. We'll see what happens, but might bear watching. I note that their only other article is on Copyvio.

Thanks Cje 09:08, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for taking care of the AfD. Cje 12:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
