[edit] Questions by Sandstein
... that are not worth cluttering up the nomination page with:
- 1. I looked at some of the articles listed at User:JP06035/Contributions, in particular, Connecticut Route 20, and Flying Horses Carousel. These articles are poorly sourced, and you state that you created them using your own knowledge. Do you think you understand the policies of WP:V and WP:NOR, and do you think these articles conform to these policies in whole or in part?
- A: Oh, of course I do. If you look at 2008 Summer Olympics, you'll notice that I make wonderful use of the {{cite web}} template series in my sources. There are many sources on that page which are quite verifiable. Regarding the other pages, the reasons they aren't sources is because, as I mentioned that they were from my own knowledge; I recognize now that this is for the most part unacceptable, because who knows if I'm lying. I created these pages long ago, and it seems that at that point, I didn't have the grasp on WP:V as well as I have it now. Thank you for pointing this out, and I hope to be able to source these articles soon!
- 2. Please give diffs to some admin-type actions of yours, such as XfD contributions, that you think particularly reflect your understanding of Wikipedia policies and guidelines.
- A: Here are some diffs. I found that most of my edits were general because others had already commented on the page, so instead of repeating myself, I just would agree with the nom or another user (for these, see the diffs like [1],
In general though, my "thoughtful" diffs include: [5], [6], [7], [8], [9], here's a CfD I started, [10], an interesting MfD, [11], [12]
- 3. In this IfD, you nominated a Commons image for deletion - here on Wikipedia. What diffs can you provide to indicate your understanding of image-related policies and procedures in particular?
Thanks for your replies. Sandstein 14:29, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

- A: Well, first, it was my error that I nominated this for deletion on WP in the first place because really, it is on the commons (which I didn't notice). But to take this further, I alerted the user of the problem in October but he never responded. After trying to make contact with him and given the continuing comments here about its factuality, I only saw it necessary to nominate it for deletion. Others include: [13],
