[edit] AfD

The article wasn't nonsense, according to the criteria for speedy deletion, but I deleted the article anyway because it was an exact copy of another, more detailed article. Since that article asserts notability, you can't put the article up for CSD under A7. If you still think that the article doesn't confer under Wikipedia's notability guidelines, you can list the article on articles for deletion. Sr13 06:50, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Question for you

Thank you for asking for my help. My thoughts on this article is that if you take it through and AfD the result will surely be merge, and that is what i recommend you do. But before you do so a proper discussion needs to take place with the community at large to decide if they agree with the decision to merege. To do this simply place {{mergeto|Chiranjeevi}} on the article and start a discussion on the talk page of the article. Remember to be bold! Cheers! Tiptoety (talk) 15:07, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

After looking over it again, you may even be able to get away with simply redirecting the page to Chiranjeevi, but ultimately that decision is up to you. Have you considered discussing the idea of a merge or redirect with the author of the article? You and the author may want to take a look at WP:NOTE. Cheers!

[edit] My first Barnstar

Okay - it wasn't exactly merited, and it seems to have been doled out randomly by a now blocked contributor, but I feel warm and fuzzy all the same! ponyo (talk) 22:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] re: Simón Bolívar

Hi, I have complaint and don't quite know where to make it. I contributed to the recent additions to the Simon Bolívar article, only to have them summarily erased by another contributor. That simply was not right, isn't it worth mentioning that entire books have been based on this disputed aspect of Bolivar? ThanksNord1 (talk) 23:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Just mentioning: The editor who has asked your assistance has edit warred and made zero edits to the talk page of the article in question. You may wish to suggest that he or she attempt discussion there, since there, NOT the talk page of "the editor" (three have reverted thus far) is the appropriate place to discuss desired edits to an article. Please let me know if you have any questions. KillerChihuahua?!? 16:58, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing that out, by Wikipedia standards I'm still pretty green. The reason I skipped the talk page suggestion is that it had already been requested in the edit summary by a previous reverting editor and had been ignored. As such I provided alternative methods of dispute resolution. I've seen some completely over the top edit wars solved very quickly when one editor approaches another amicably on their talk page, and of course the WP:DR page I pointed him to contains a wealth of solutions as well. ponyo (talk) 17:42, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
Nods, that can work well when it really is a dispute between two editors - but in this case at least three have reverted, and if Nord1 was the anon adding the information immediately previously, then more than three - which makes it a case of Nord1 editing against consensus without trying to "make a case" on the talk page. Nord1 was not clear, and was even a little misleading, in his/her edit above - using "contributor" singular was inaccurate. As a suggestion, if you ask if the issue is a content dispute, and if it has been discussed on the talk page; or even cover both bases by stating "content disputes on article talk pages, personal disputes on user talk pages" (rephrasing to be a bit more friendly) then you can't go wrong. You're doing a great job btw - kudos. KillerChihuahua?!? 18:08, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
