Wilson kriminal

I translated the page and it is a bio that doesn't assert importance. I wouldn't have posted the deletion notice on the page if this hadn't been the case. I read over the rules for non-english pages before I put it on. PotionsMasterSnape (talk) 16:52, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: My RfA (Charles)

They're just running you through the ropes now to make sure you know what you're doing ;-) In a week you'll be an old pro at this and will probably even have events to reminisce about! I'll keep you in mind to ask if I need any help, although I am accused more often than not of being the outlaw around these parts ;-) Charles 17:10, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Wilson's Kriminal

Hey Peter how is it going? I am part of the creative staff of Wilson's Kriminal blog. The biography that you have just deleted pertains to a a fictional character who is from Panamenian nationality and is based on Israel. They guy illustrates in a satirical way the situation of many immigrants in multicultural societies and the show aims to promote Israel in another perspective than the one that is traditionally portrayed on the mainstream media. This approach is being done by 3 latin american students from Communications BA of the IDC Herzliya University situated in Israel, who just feel like showing another facet of the israeli situation without getting any money out of it. Wilson Kriminal, is increasingly becoming well known in the Latin American environment and we are looking forward to open our new website on next Sunday, so feel welcome to visit it and you re going to easily notice that is a serious project. We consider that the inclusion of our character under your platform would be really richful to give the charcater a massive dimension and wider recognition, therefore i urge you to please reconsider the removal of our article and let us post our article. Thanks in advance. Alexis —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexclusive (talk • contribs) 20:13, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Request for page protection

Hi, could you please indefinitely fully protect this page. This should not be edited by someone else, and I don't think that I'll ever have to change it. I don't want to go to WP:RPP for that. Cenarium (talk) 22:50, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, also congrats for your successful RFA. :) Cenarium (talk) 22:53, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Chris Hansen

Hey there. If the reason was simply "vandalism" I like you would have declined the request. But this is not just "vandalism". 4chan has been quite a trouble lately (if you are unaware it is a free image board where anyone can post requests, and is generally used be trolls). Recently the requests have been to vandalize different wikipedia pages (including my talk page), and on average we usually get about 70-80 IP's respond and help out the troll in their vandalism quest. The only thing to stop the vandalism is to protect the page for a short amount of time and move on, just thought I would let you know in case you come across something like this in the future. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 23:15, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Oh, don't worry about the full protection it is only what your third day as a admin? We all make silly mistakes, and having the article full protected for a few minutes did not really break anything. :D Tiptoety ^talk 23:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Re: Princess Augusta, Duchess of Cambridge

There's one little snag with Augusta: her territorial designation. Although the present-day city is now called "Kassel", the electorate/landgraviate was "Hesse-Cassel", although *some* people argue for "Hesse-Kassel" on the basis that is now what the city is called. I say move to "Hesse-Cassel" (Landgrave Frederick II, I believe, move there on the basis of a vote). Charles 16:35, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Friendonomics

Peter, it looks like you deleted my entry for Friendonomics without reading the content changes or talk. I have revised this document based on Ohnoitsjamie concerns and your own. Added content to support importance of friendonomics, the marketing concept, and friendonomics, the hybrid game. Friendonomics is an emerging concept in game play, education, and marketing, and should have representation on the wikipedia. If there are specific concerns about my publication, please let me know, and I'll address them immediately.—Preceding unsigned comment added by MacOfTheMIAC (talk • contribs) 18:54, May 15, 2008

Peter, thanks for the comments and the links to the guidelines. I have re-written the article to comply with all suggestions. I have provided additional references, and shifted the focus of the article to the marketing term, friendonomics. Please let me know if you have any additional concerns.

Regarding your RfA

The admins' T-shirt. Acalamari 16:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations on your successful request for adminship. I am glad you passed, and you are welcome for the support. For information on using your new tools, see the school for new admins; you will find it very useful. Good luck! Acalamari 16:11, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome for the T-shirt. :) Yes, it can be tough being a new admin: other users, including myself, did take some time to get used to the new tools. You'll settle in soon enough. :) Best wishes. Acalamari 16:20, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Stomp Fest

Hello! I created the Stomp Fest page as a class assignment and had to have it uploaded by the deadline even if I was not finished with it. It was essentially a very, very rough draft, but I uploaded it anyway to meet my deadline with intentions of editing/adding more to it in the near future. This was my first wikipedia page and I am not well-informed about it. Could you help me out? Maybe tell me some other aspects about a subject I could put up with my Stomp Fest page? Thanks!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 169.237.44.130 (talk) 16:29, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

16May Catherine Deneuve

Im am against war so I def dont want an edit war! What do you suggest? Luke4545 (talk) just keeps reverting the Catherine Deneuve article.
@ 1st, he asserted formating errors. So y not correct those format errors? Instead Luke4545 (talk) just reverts.
In fact if u looks @ his contribs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Luke4545) all he does is go thru wiki & just revert. Y not actually contribute 2 wiki? It is very e z 2 just revert, whereas more work is required to edit. 70.108.119.24 (talk) 18:37, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

If you're against an edit war, then why did you just make another revert even after being warned? As I recently said in the discussion page on the Catherine Deneuve article, 70.108.119.24 keeps reverting edits without engaging fully in proper discussion. The IP continuously is reverting edits before any resolution/compromise can be reached. I have not made any reversions yet after the warning you (PeterSymonds) issued me, so, I think the same should be expected of the IP as well; however, that IP continues to revert. I have tried to make efforts in discussing the matter, but the IP is seemingly disregarding constructive discussion. Also, please fully check my contributions, and you'll see that I add a lot of content and revert material that can be deemed unconstructive or vandalism. That's what a lot of established users do. Hell, I even earned a barnstar for my contributions to various sports articles, which are a large portion of my edits. The IP's accusations that my edits are profoundly based around just reverting are completely false and baseless.

By the way, I don't know if you saw my response to your warning on my talk page, but I ask that you see it to understand why I was hoping the Catherine Deneuve article would be semi-protected. Given the fact that the IP ignored the warning, I hope you'll now see the point I was trying to get across in my response to your warning on my talk page. I also hope that I won't actually get blocked for this, because as I said, I have attempted to engage in discussions with the IP, but the IP continues to revert without fully discussing matters first.

Also, you can go ahead and reply on your own talk page here, as I have it "watched." Plus, I'm sure IP 70.108.119.24 would like to see your response as well, if it happens to come by here later. Thank you for your time and consideration. -- Luke4545 (talk) 20:32, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Kazue Takahashi again

Hi, Peter. My newly created article, Kazue Takahashi, has been under construction for 5 days, now, and you are the only one who has edited it besides me. Also, I can't tell if it is notable enough, yet, no one has tagged it for deletion! Is it notable enough? Please respond on my talk page.Kitty53 (talk) 22:36, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Red Square Direct Ltd

Hi. I don't see why you have classed my article as blatant advertising. Non-encyclopaedic in its current state, maybe, but did you actually read it? It is anything BUT advertising the company! Please advise on how I can create an article about a nationwide UK company and the way it operates without it being classed as an advert. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty99 (talk • contribs) 11:42, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Red Square Direct

Hi. I get your point regarding the job advert, although I think you may have taken it out of context! I had put that there as an example of the type of advert that this group of companies uses to recruit. Whilst there are many different company names, the adverts are always the same. I was careful to ensure that the advert example did not include the company name, nor the contact details, or even the location of the job. If it is this part of the article that is contentious, please remove it. Please also remove the link to the company website if required. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty99 (talk • contribs) 12:12, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for the tip. Does that mean that you are going to undelete it? My work has plenty of non-trivial sources. I do not know where you come from, but in the UK "Companies House" is the government organisation that lists information such as company directors, filed acounts etc. All of the information that I have included with regards to company directors, other interests etc is from there. I cannot link directly as they like you to pay to obtain that information via the web(or go to their offices and get it for free). I can't imagine that the "ford motor company" article was written in one day, nor by a single person. You have to start somewhere, and if my article is light on content, that's because I haven't finished it yet. Indeed, I went off to make a cup of coffee after saving it, and I was already being told it would be deleted! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scotty99 (talk • contribs) 12:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU has a new format

Due to popular demand, HAU has a new look. Since the changes are so dramatic, I may have made some mistakes when translating the data. Please take a look at WP:HAU/EU and make sure your checkmarks are in the right place and feel free to add or remove some. There is a new feature, SoxBot V, a recently approved bot, automatically updates your online/offline status based on the length of time since your last edit. To allow SoxBot V to do this, you'll need to copy [[Category:Wikipedians who use StatusBot]] to your userpage. Obviously you are not required to add this to your userpage, however, without this, your status will always be "offline" at HAU. Thanks. Useight (talk) 17:20, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Resolved

You are an active contributer to the help desk and I was wondering. When would be a good time to mark a section resolved? Should it be when the situation is completed or when the user who posted the request says it's been done? Please reply on my talk page. Regards, Ryan Cross (talk) 03:54, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I'v just started contributing to the help desk about a week ago. I really just mark sections resolved when the requester says thanks, or anything similar. I see that common sense is the right decision. Thank you. By the way, do you adopt/admin coach? Again, answer on my talk page. --Ryan Cross (talk) 04:09, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't formally asking, I was just curious. I'm currently in my own adoption process. Yes, I do know about the WP:HAU. Actually, I mentioned it at the help desk earlier. If I do have any quest

=ions and my adopter is currently offline, I assume I can ask you regarding your comment. Thank you once again. Note that I am RyRy5. Regards, Ryan Cross (talk) 04:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Request to block 211.21.238.26

Hi. I am requesting that 211.21.238.26 be blocked from editing for ONE year. This user has already been warned FOR MONTHS REPEATEDLY. Please block. Thanks. Prowikipedians (talk) 09:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I have already sent notices within the school already. On that very day the notification was sent out to students, this user has been using proxy servers outside of school and still vandalizes after repeated warnings, this user chooses to continue to vandalize after a final warning. Prowikipedians (talk) 10:00, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Please also note that this user has been warned not to delete tags and contribute unconstructive information in edits from article Kaohsiung American School. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Prowikipedians (talk • contribs) 10:04, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

thanks

I replied with some links to info on this sock, its rather a sad situation this user did to him/herself.--Hu12 (talk) 10:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Joey Yung

I know what I'm doing. Not like I'm some newbie editor. That's why you dont see me reverting his latest change already. There's actually space for one more revert, but there isn't any point knowing he's going to revert it again anyway. I am awaiting a third opinion, then I may have to go to the dispute resolution page. Thx for the reminder anyway. Dengero (talk) 12:29, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

explanation

Sorry for districting you. I’m a sincere contributor of Wikipedia here. I posted the section last week and another user suddenly kept deleting the article today. The user seems obsessively trying to hide any criticism of the singer, even though all the material and news had supported the article. Even CNN had once reported it. I admit that using the “reverting” function is not totally appropriate. Sorry. But I just can’t stand for people who are trying to hide some obvious true just because they think it is not all-positive and something to be proud of. I have some more references here, but I don’t want to be warned again. So I’m leaving them here and let you decide whether the news reports should be shown in the page. For those who are hardcore admirers of someone, it is foolish to ignore the true which may be unpleasant, and it is naive to equate erasing an article on Wikipedia to erasing a real unpleasant history of someone.

Hey there Peter, Thanks for indenting the changed !vote on the RfA, but having said that, when you indent votes with numbers make sure to keep the # at the start, otherwise it throws off the count.Balloonman (talk) 13:49, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
