Matériel blanc
Please explain why you've, again, deleted the page for this film, despite my addition of a link to the producer's website.
The film exists. It is at least in post-production. In fact, it's probably finished at this point. It will be released next year. Claire Denis's page is therefore out of date and contains insufficient information about her films. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wetdogmeat (talk • contribs) 01:41, December 1, 2007 (UTC)

Why for?
re: this subst edit I wouldn't recommend doing such with large templates, as your liable to get an unholy mess! A template name is a lot cleaner, and the curly braces help create 'clear whitespace' since we have to imbed things and clutter up text flow. What rationale suggested that move to you? Maybe I can learn something here. // FrankB 08:54, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Ping!
Evening Ryan, any chance you could pop over to User talk:Blue5864? He's just withdrawn the legal threat (well stated that it wasn't intended as a threat) so he needs unblocking. Cheers, Ryan Postlethwaite 02:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
- Actually, he's just been accused of sock puppetry - I need sleep so I'll have to leave it in your capable hands to review! :-) Ryan Postlethwaite 02:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Really, really bad haiku from a new admin
Setting new lows in thank-you spam:
Ryan, thanks so much for your support -- I look forward to working with you in 2008.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Elonka 3
Thank you for your support in my RfA. It was definitely a dramatic debate! I paid close attention to everything that was said, and, where possible, I will try to incorporate the (constructive) criticism towards being a better administrator. I'm taking things slowly for now, partially because it's the holiday season and there are plenty of off-wiki distractions. :) I'm also working my way through the Wikipedia:New admin school and double-checking the relevant policies, and will gradually phase into the use of the new tools. My main goals are to help out with various backlogs, but I also fully intend to keep on writing articles, as there are several more that I definitely want to get to WP:FA status! Thanks again, Elonka 07:01, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
Warriors Transwikis
In my votes I clearly voted in favor of/requested Transwiki to Warriors Wiki, yet I notice that nothing was transfered to the The Wikipedia Annex as with the normal process for doing so.
You said I should 'request the text' with you, but so far all Transwikis that I have undertaken on behalf of the Warriors Wiki have been done via the Wikia Annex. In fact, Notability (Fiction) - Relocating I was under the distinct impression that the original Wikipedia version was to be archived at the Annex...
Anyways, I am interested in Transwiki.

Thank you for voting in my RfA, which closed successfully with 44 support, 4 oppose, and 3 neutral. I will work hard to improve the encyclopedia with my new editing tools (and don't worry, I'll be careful). |
RE: Warriors Transwikis
I'm sorry. I should have thought to include the list of links for you.
- List of SkyClan Cats
- List of WindClan Cats
- List of ShadowClan Cats
- List of Other Warriors Characters
Thanks, Kitsufox(Fox's Den) 02:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Template:Memory Alpha
The template was used a lot more, but User:Phirazo repeatedly removed it from a great many articles. There certainly was no consensus to delete this, and I will be taking this to DRV. -- Ned Scott 05:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
- Indeed, I encourage you to reverse this close yourself - these templates have repeatedly survived TfD in the past, and the TfD did not come anywhere close to showing a consensus to delete - a bare majority of people supported deletion, and your close does not seem to take the bulk of the conversation into account, causing it to feel more like an additional vote than a close of the discussion. This seems an inappropriate and erroneous close, and I urge you to reverse it. Phil Sandifer (talk) 00:44, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
-
- I don't mean to sound obstinate, but I'm not going to change my mind on this one, it will have to be taken to DRV. There is no "right" template to use in a certain circumstance. If there are two templates, which both do the same thing, then the "correct" template is the one which is used more often 90% of the time. It doesn't matter that these sorts of templates have been kept in the past, the important thing is that there is a template in wide, acceptable use and it is pointless to de-link a template used thousands of times to substitute a slightly different template which does exactly the same thing. RyanGerbil10(Говорить!) 01:12, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

-
- But that's just your own opinion in a content dispute. And our deletion policy doesn't say we have to delete templates that do similar things, especially when the whole point is a visual difference. Which template is to be used for consistency is a discussion for another talk page, not TfD. -- Ned Scott 02:17, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- I have to agree - this feels less like a close of the existing deletion discussion than an admin realizing that a week had passed and he could just delete instead of actually contributing to the conversation. Phil Sandifer (talk) 03:09, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- I don't preview TfD before I close it each day. Again, I don't mean to sound harsh, but this discussion is not productive. If you desire to open a deletion review, please do so, I would be more than happy to participate. RyanGerbil10(Говорить!) 03:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- Regardless, your closing of the discussion for reasons that had nothing to do with the overall direction of the discussion was inappropriate, and read like an attempt to use your administrative power to close debates as delete in lieu of participating in them. That and your intractability on this page make for a poor combination that, frankly, I find shameful from an administrator. Phil Sandifer (talk) 05:44, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

- I wouldn't call it shameful, just frustrating. I doubt Ryan even sees this as a big deal. I hope there will be no hard feelings if this is listed on DRV. -- Ned Scott 07:15, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

You say; I don't preview TfD before I close it each day. How do you then determine consensus? Taemyr (talk) 13:34, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

RfA thanks
Dear RyanGerbil10, here is a little note to say thank you for your kind support on my request for adminship which succeeded with a final result of (72/19/6).
Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.
Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E talk 12:38, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Template:Muppets closure
You beat me to that close. You closed it the exact same way I would have, only you stated it much more eloquently than I would have managed. Nice work. IronGargoyle (talk) 21:19, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
DC suburbs roads template
I somehow missed the deletion discussion for this template. I thought I had it on my watchlist, but it must not have been. I would have wanted it either kept or merged. Is there any way I can have access to the information on it in order to merge it?Sebwite (talk) 01:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Death to USA-American criminals like you
There are people DYING out there in the world on Venezuelan planes, and entire COUNTRIES adopting the EURO. The New England Patriots won SIXTEEN games. Several months ago, Queen Elizabeth II (=important, lives in Europe) was present at the debut of a new train in England, and that was only on the news page for ten times longer than news of the parochial USA-American rigged "caucus", despite being one HUNDRED times more important. Please take your local-interest story and shove it. No one cares. If you only knew about SWEET-ASS news stories like what Albert II did during the recent five-month process of Belgian government formation, you would understand how unimportant the Oiwa "caucus" is, and how clueless you are. But no, you only know what is inside your borders. Please stay out of the AfDs for the Obama and Huckabee articles; I do not want your bias there. I am taking all of this electioncruft down. 65.190.89.154 (talk) 23:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)
Re: Canada census division Template
The merge is done, but I meant that the template should not be deleted. Since User:Kebron is the one who updated the data in the template, but did not edit the article, and I have used that information to update the article, it would be improper under the GFDL to delete the template. –Pomte 01:04, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
WB/UPN templates
I agree with the decision to delete them, but because the socks who put them up for deletion also created redirects to the CW templates, those were also inadvertanely deleted and have created a mess with redlinked CW templates everywhere (11 out of the 45-50 remain according to this category with all the state templates listed). Can the proper CW templates be restored, please? Thank you. Nate · (chatter) 04:19, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- I have dealt with this; please be more careful of redirects when deleting. —Random832 17:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
