[edit] Skirt article edit

Hi Shaliya waya, Thanks for editing Wikipedia. I hope you enjoy building the encyclopedia. You recently put back content I had deleted from the skirt article. I deleted the content because it did not meet our core policies. I've explained a little more on the article talk page. Please address these concerns before putting the content back. If you have any questions about this feel free to leave a message here or at the bottom of my talk page. You can find out more about contributing to our encyclopedia by visiting our welcome page. Happy editing! -- SiobhanHansa 15:22, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Cpsignal.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid.

[edit] Taser and Taser controversy articles

Hi, thanks for the message. I copied your message to Talk:Taser#Suggested merge with Taser controversy and will continue the discussion there. There is also an archived discussion at Talk:Taser controversy#Rename that has more background on "Electroshock weapon" vs "Taser". Flatscan 01:28, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

G'day. You might like to see my own discussion proposal. Cheers Bjenks (talk) 07:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bjenks (talk • contribs)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wal-Mart (disambiguation)

I've added an opinion of "rename" in the discussion which appears not to have been considered in the debate. I encourage you to review my reasoning at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wal-Mart (disambiguation) and determine if you need to reconsider your !vote. Regards. -- Whpq 18:20, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wal-Mart (disambiguation)

I have reverted your move back to Wal-Mart (disambiguation) again. While there was no consensus reached in the AfD vote, I am convinced that consensus was moving in the direction of moving the article to the List of Wal-Mart articles name, instead of deletion, which I am willing to compromise on. I am not sure why the admin in this case closed the discussion, when it is clear that there was still active discussion going on (I personally was getting ready to change my vote as it was). I still firmly believe that Wal-Mart needs no disambiguation page (based on the description of disambiguation pages). None of the items listed are going to ever be confused with Wal-Mart, but all are connected -- so the list naming is more appropriate here and the disambiguation page is completely inappropriate and unacceptable. I stand firm on this. Dr. Cash (talk) 16:10, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

If you look at WP:AFD, it is clearly stated that an article can be kept, but NOT renamed. Shaliya waya (talk) 17:49, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
Please stop this. The article needs no disambiguation, and it is completely and totally inappropriate. There is nothing on the AfD that says it cannot be renamed. I am also disputing the 'no consensus' that the closing admin put on it: the way I see it, there were 7 named users in favor of deletion, 3 named users (and 2 anons with less than 10 edits) in favor of keeping, 4 named users in favor of renaming, and 1 anon in favor of moving to Wal-Mart. So you don't have any consensus to keep this at a disambiguationn page, either. Dr. Cash (talk) 18:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


Shaliya waya - walmart's flunkies have taken total control of the walmart article... there's no way for you to do anything to it that they won't just revert. Yet another of the ways WM screws with everyone. (How much you wanna bet they delete this post??)

My take on walmart customers

[edit] Speedy deletion of Wal-Mart (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Wal-Mart (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Wal-Mart (Disambiguation)

Please stop re-creating this page and inserting it at Wal-Mart. The page does not meet the guidelines of being a disambiguation page per WP:DISAMBIG, and is nothing more than a list of 'see also' links. Per discussion at Talk:Wal-Mart, the 'see also' links were merged with Wal-Mart and placed in the 'see also' section of that page (by another user, as a matter of fact, not me). While I do recognize that no consensus for deletion was achieved at the WP:AfD for Wal-Mart (disambiguation), the reality of the situation is that very few (two named users and yourself and two anons with less than 10 edits each) actually wanted to keep it, and most either recommended deletion or moving the page to List of Wal-Mart articles, which is the compromise that I initially took. I then later decided that it was best to place the 'see also' list in the actual Wal-Mart article itself, which would increase the visibility of each of the articles in the list (you should be happy about this).

If you continue to place this cat-and-mouse game with this article without discussing your actions on the talk page or even leaving an edit summary, it will be considered vandalism and you will be banned. Dr. Cash (talk) 22:43, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

I think that Derek.cashman has some valid points, and that you have some valid arguments as well. Instead of directly talking to one another you have both ignored each other. It think it would be best if both of you would talk about it at Talk:Wal-Mart#List of Wal-Mart articles before doing anything else (deleting Wal-Mart (disambiguation) or adding the disambig link at the top of the Wal-mart page). Thank you. (and welcome to wikipedia). Jon513 (talk) 00:01, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
All through this process, there may be others who are for or against this article based on what they have read others wite about. At the same time, a single user, Derek Cashman, seems determined to kill a Wal-Mart disambiguation page out, perhaps out of a personal distaste for one. He just says he is firm and will not budge on it otherwise. Wikipedians are supposed to improve, NOT destroy Wikipedia. A Wikipedia page is only supposed to be deleted only if it is not notable or otherwise seriously inappropriate. The general practice is that when there is any doubt, the page is kept.Shaliya waya (talk) 01:48, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I do not believe that Derek Cashman is interested in destroying Wikipedia. To say that anyone who doesn't think that there should be a disambiguation page is a vandal is not helpful. There are reasons to keep the page and reasons to delete it. What we need to do now is talk about it.
While pages are generally kept when there is 'no consensus' it does not mean that there is a consensus to kept. No consensus means that there is no consensus and more discussion has to take place. Pages can be moved or redirected or deleted if it will improve the encyclopedia by doing so; not only when they are 'not notable'.
Derek has explain his reasons for wanting the page to go at Talk:Wal-Mart#List of Wal-Mart articles. It would be appropriate for you to read what he says and respond. Please focus on reasons why you think the page adds to the quality of the encyclopedia, not on interpreting the AfD debate. Jon513 (talk) 10:00, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
I feel that what Derek Cashman says about this page is propaganda for his own views, and is not allowing others to formulate their own ideas. I originally created this page because I found that our society has given "Wal-Mart" and "Walmart" other meanings beyond the name of the store, and indeed, there were Wikipedia articles on those meanings. The easiest way to find them would be via a disambiguation page after entering Wal-Mart and clicking on otheruses.Shaliya waya (talk) 15:39, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Derek has pointed out on the talk page that most of the content of the disambig page is integrated into the article and the rest are in the "see also". You have not responded to this. Jon513 (talk) 19:53, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Walmart (disambiguation)

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Walmart (disambiguation), and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: Wal-Mart (disambiguation). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 00:45, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Toni (slang)

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Toni (slang), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
