[edit] Christian Martial Art

Thanks for going through his other pages and reviewing them for CSD criteria. I didnt even think of doing that for some reason. RogueNinjatalk 19:00, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

That's why I'm here! --SmashvilleBONK! 19:02, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Malakov

At Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_December_24#Daniel_Malakov you wrote

I'm having an issue with the nominator's accusations of bad faith against admins for doing their duties as admins. And with the essay length responses. Be concise, please. --SmashvilleBONK! 23:53, 26 December 2007 (UTC)

I would appreciate it if you would kindly explain

  • Why do you believe that Wikipedia Administrators should be immune from legitimate criticism? Do you have any sources to support this point of view?
  • Why do you believe that a cogent set of arguments must, a priori, be concise? While brevity is the soul of wit, should not Wikipedia emphasize accuracy at its expense?
  • Since you entered into this discussion of your own accord, I do not think it out-of-line to ask the origin of your UserID "SmashvilleBONK!" which seems to connote a violence act. Do you believe that there is a place for violence among Administrators on Wikipedia, perhaps figuratively? Do the ends justify the means?

  • Response at DRV. --SmashvilleBONK! 16:36, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the explanation... at User:Eileivgyrt; you have to admit it sounds edgy.

[edit] Deaths in 2007

  • i don't think reversion of vandalism is covered by WP:3RR, actually. cheers, tomasz. 18:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
    • No, but I don't think alphabetical order constitutes "obvious" vandalism...although the edit summary kinda does show there's no intent of stopping. I'm only reporting User:Simion Eugen-Andrei, Bucharest, Romania. --SmashvilleBONK! 18:33, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
      • i see your point. thanks for your judgement, and i will take more care of it in future. tomasz. 18:35, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
        • There's never a problem if you're working in good faith, which you obviously were. It's also obvious he's making bad faith reverts... --SmashvilleBONK! 18:37, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wednesday Night Drinking Crew

Hello i was curious about the SpD set on the WNDC Article

The reason below is why I personally think it should be included, It truly is all that I say.

I am a representative of the MBAHA. Though this is my first entry and I'm not sure if im even doing it correctly or what needs to be done to establish this group in world history. Like I state below it is a huge part of the Myrtle Beach economy and many notable persons in the area are members, and they also start and coordinate fund raisers for High Schools and County affairs. Also it's 854+ members strong, their meetings usually involve around 175-200 members in attendance.

Please respond and let me know how i can improve the page.

  • This page should not be deleted because enough though it does not have a notable effect of the entire history of the world, it does for the population and economy of the Myrtle Beach area. It supports family, social, and personal affairs. You even must be apart of the hospitality industry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fivesecondrule (talk • contribs) 06:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Well, for starters, it didn't even remotely explain how it was notable. Honestly, though, I highly doubt this page would survive any Wikipedia deletion process no matter how well written. --SmashvilleBONK! 06:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Also, recreating it immediately like you just did is probably going to end up getting the page salted. --SmashvilleBONK! 06:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
      • Not trying to doubt your knowledge of Wikipedia and it's procedures but seriously there is not one single organization or group that is localy operated listed on WP?? Also i really didn't try to recreate it but when i was editing it, there was a notice saying it didn't exist. I thought i was suspposed to click the recreate to enable my editing —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fivesecondrule (talk • contribs) 06:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
        • There are tons, but you haven't even asserted that it's notable. --SmashvilleBONK! 07:02, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
        • Well there is alot that I'm not really able to put in at one sitting, especially since it keeps being deleted, can you at least post-pone deletion for a week or so?

But as stated how is being a "huge part of the Myrtle Beach economy and many notable people in the area are members, and they also start and coordinate fund raisers for High Schools and County affairs." not notable?

What do the other organizations have listed? They certainly contribute loads to the city and the people who live in it. By the way i do appreciate the speedy response and help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fivesecondrule (talk • contribs) 07:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WPPP-LP

FCC licensing is not mentioned here. What else makes it notable? - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 18:18, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

  • WP:OUTCOMES says that licensed stations are seen as notable if they have original programming...WP:WPRS has several debates over the notability of LP stations. CSD A7 says it doesn't apply to controversial deletions. --SmashvilleBONK! 20:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
    • Agreed. I won't push for speedy; and I'll wait until notability criteria can be presented by the author. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 20:27, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Why thank you! I don't often receive compliments...much the reverse. But I agree, when I saw her missing, I got to work. As a horse lover, Landaluce should not be forgotten.JiggeryPokery (talk) 18:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] A7 and schools

Thanks for stating that schools aren't part of A7 - I've been trying to go over all the policies really carefully and I guess there's still a lot that I've missed. Pnswmr (talk) 01:16, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] I Know, But I Just Want To Create Sourced Articles

I Don't Mean To Be A Pain, but I Try to source my article like i sourced all my Victoria Beckham Articles , but I Don't Understand Why People Delete It. Also I Want To Be A Journalist, so your lucky to be one :P. So I'm Sorry if i've been doing something wrong x. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Girls alouds biggest fan (talk • contribs) 05:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

If you want to create sourced articles, then you need to abide by the rules laid down for notability and verification. You have been told why they are being deleted - they are not verifiable! And this is hardly journalism... ~~ [Jam][talk] 05:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Seen as i am only 13, I think that it helps me improve my journalism :P —Preceding unsigned comment added by Girls alouds biggest fan (talk • contribs) 05:47, 9 January 2008

  • Creating hoaxes isn't going to help you with anything. Also - I'm sure you didn't mean to, but your signature should absolutely not link to another user's talk page. --SmashvilleBONK! 05:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
  • By relying on some blog written by some completely random person with no verifiable credentials? I'm afraid this isn't going to help your journalism at all, and neither does your persistent re-creation of previously deleted articles or the vandalism and removal of tags on those pages. ~~ [Jam][talk] 05:50, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] roller skating ninjas

why are my "roller-skating ninja" posts being deleted? this one you have tagged now is a link to another wiki article! if i can't use your own site to verify something that what can i use?! you guys are being ridiculous. "Shat" has its own wikipedia page... why are you deleting all of the time i am putting in to setting up one for "roller-skating ninjas"?!?!?! Briansantamaria (talk) 05:37, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] help, pls with something important

There really is the Pinsky Phenomenon in mathematics. I am not making it up. Refererences provided. So many researchers use it. Help me keep this. It is mathematically imprortant. AmeliaElizabeth (talk)

I'm not sure what the problem is. It's not under deletion consideration at the moment. I'd help...but math isn't my strong suit. --SmashvilleBONK! 00:48, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] James Barnett

Hey! Why do you keep deleting Ryan Davis' name from the article? He did break the story before anyone else. He even wrote the article in the Houston Voice about it. I'm not sure how you consider that not relevant to the story. Do you think Bob Woodward is not relevant to Watergate? TheatreKid01 (talk) 22:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheatreKid01 (talk • contribs) 22:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

That's not even close to Watergate. It's an article about a person that you keep putting your own name into. --SmashvilleBONK! 23:43, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Ryan wrote the very first article on James... http://www.houstonvoice.com/2004/12-17/news/localnews/school.cfm. Please explain how that isn't relevent? TheatreKid01 (talk) 00:01, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
Because the article isn't about him. Adding the reference is fine...adding the credentials and the name of the reporter is not. The reporter has nothing to do with the story. He reported the facts of something that happened...it wasn't investigative journalism and the reporter is not part of the story. --SmashvilleBONK! 00:05, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
How can you say it wasn't investigative journalism? I actually sorta feel that is was... TheatreKid01 (talk) 00:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
The point is...the story is the kid getting kicked out of school. Not the reporter reporting that the kid got kicked out of school. The kid sought out the press - he even contacted the ACLU - the reporter didn't discover anything. It's not appropriate to add his name to the article. Especially when it was continuously added by the reporter himself last week while he was trying to create a page about himself. --SmashvilleBONK! 00:53, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Smashville - Actually, James didn't seak out the press. Davis contacted him before he even considered going public. It was the notgeniuses article, reprinted the next week in the houston voice, that lead to further media coverage. In addition, Davis asked his readers to contact James' school and local media to force them to cover the story. I'm not the one trying to rewrite history here.

I updated the Ryan Davis page to show more notability. I'm not quite sure what else you're looking for not to delete it. Please advise. TheatreKid01 (talk) 19:29, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

If you can find a reliable secondary source in which he is the primary subject. I mean, if he's notable, then by all means, he's notable...he just doesn't look notable per Wikipedia standards. See WP:V. I'll help you look for sources, but since you have more knowledge of the subject, you are going to be more likely to find them. Please don't mistake my removals as point of view or rudeness or anything of that nature. Just - to me - it doesn't seem to meet Wikipedia notability standards. --SmashvilleBONK! 22:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Smashville - Thanks for your help on this. I do appreciate it. I've already referenced a feature on Davis from The Washington Post. Also, I've linked to two of his appearances on CNN, MSNBC, Good Morning America, and Primetime Live. I've also linked to interviews from Radar Magazine (Print), The Advocate (Print), Fox News, and Broadway World (highest ranked theatre news site). I've also linked to a front page feature he received from Gay City News (Print), the most read gay newspaper in the country. That's quite a few sources and I'd hope some of them are considered reliable. If you need more, I can find additional mentions in the NY Times, or whatever. But, I feel like you still won't be impressed.

Mr. Davis has received these media mentions not from one project, but from several. So, he's not just "known for one event." The odd thing is that there are people listed in Wiki whose best credits are writing a song for Mr. Davis' White Noise. How can he not be notable, but someone who wrote a song for him (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasek_and_paul) somehow have this magical notability even with zero references or no real credits? 69.86.53.254 (talk) 22:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

The above is me, sorry - forgot to sign in. TheatreKid01 (talk) 22:44, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

I am withdrawing the deletion nomination for the time being. You've at least cast enough doubt for me to give you some time to see what you can do. --SmashvilleBONK! 22:54, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Smashville - Thanks for your fairness. I'll be adding a little more to the entry tomorrow. I am curious, how do I make the reference list in 2 columns instead of one super long one? Is there a special tag? Thanks again! - TheatreKid01 (talk) 23:27, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Silky Sullivan

This article was almost the first I ever contributed to wikipedia and I'll admit I was more than a bit enthusiastic. I still am. It does need dampening down for wiki purposes, and I've occasionally looked at it with a mind to doing just that. But I can't. I'm too involved with the subject. Therefore to have someone else do it is a relief and I thank you. JiggeryPokery (talk) 19:59, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for rescuing that Delta Classic article from deletion. I am now inspired to spruce it up a bit. [[D-free]] (talk) 07:44, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. I looked at it and it didn't look like advertising...much less blatant advertising...then looked at your contributions and figured it was highly unlikely that you were spamming WP. --SmashvilleBONK! 14:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Daniel Malakov: Follow-up

Dear Smashville from Nashville,

About two months ago you & I disagreed on the validity of a Daniel Malakov encyclopedia article on Wikipedia. Many WP:Notability and WP:BLP claims were made by yourself and other gentle administrators. Try as I could, there seemed way to convince you that the murder of Daniel Malakov was a significant event requiring a Wikipedia page. The page was deleted. No discussion on the merits was permitted, IMHO, by the "Administrator echelon."

In view of the above, I wish to direct your attention to a New York Times article as follows:

February 9, 2008 Man Accused of Killing Dentist Exchanged 91 Calls With Dentist’s Wife By CHRISTINE HAUSER and DARYL KHAN

You are free to go to nytimes.com and read the article, but perhaps the salient details are as follows:

Those details about the killing of Dr. Malakov on Oct. 28, 2007, emerged Friday from an indictment and at a news conference held by police officials and prosecutors. As the families of both Dr. Malakov and his estranged wife looked on, Dr. Borukhova, 34, was arraigned and pleaded not guilty on Friday to charges including first-degree murder and second-degree conspiracy in an emotion-filled hearing in State Supreme Court in Queens. Mr. Mallayev, 50, faces similar charges. The defendants could each be sentenced to life in prison without parole. They were ordered held without bail until their next court date, Friday.

At the time you folks decided to ditch the article, this information was not available. Now that it is, and more information ostensibly is to come out as the NYPD and AG begin to make their case in court, I want to know whether you will reverse your position and support an article on Daniel Malakov, or alternatively "Murder of Daniel Malakov."

If not, what would you need to see to support such an article? If you demand a conviction, then I plan to hold you to your promise.

Eileivgyrt (talk) 16:18, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

  • The page was deleted at AfD and upheld at DRV. I recommend writing a userfied version to User:Eileivgyrt/Murder of Daniel Malakov and submitting that to DRV. --SmashvilleBONK! 16:52, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Your comment on Mikkalai's talk page

Re: this comment of yours. With respect, your distillation of the issue is really not an accurate representation of what's going on here. This isn't just about someone saying, "read the fucking edit summary", to someone else, nor is it just about threatening to block a user because they dared to post text to an article without including references. It isn't even just about a thinly veiled threat to cut a person's throat. This current reaction to Mikkalai is the culmination of a long string of events. Read the links given in the current ANI. Do a search in the ANI archives. Check the block log. This clearly isn't just a bunch of people overreacting to an isolated incident. -- Hux (talk) 00:56, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Quote parameter in references

here in G. David Schine User:Spruce is removing the quote parameter from each reference. Can you take a look and decide if they should be included or not? Here is one example from that article: "Schine and Cohn were rumored to have a sexual relationship, although there has never been any proof of this. More recently, some historians have concluded it was a friendship and that Schine was heterosexual. [5]" Well what exactly have some historians concluded? Hence the actual quote from the article, placed in the reference, using the quote=parameter. The actual quote was: "But so far as Mr. Schine is concerned, there has never been the slightest evidence that he was anything but a good-looking kid who was having a helluva good time in a helluva good cause. In any event, the rumors were sizzling away ..." Why remove it and make the next person buy and reread the entire external article by Tom Wolfe till they find the exact reference again. I had to read the whole article to find it. Once you buy the article you cant just use the search function for the word "heterosexual" or "homosexual" because Wolfe doesn't use those words. The quote parameter is there just for this reason, its the same reason why Google uses snippets of text from web pages, and why books use quotes in references. No one is served by removing the quotes. --Richard Arthur Norton (1958- ) (talk) 21:39, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Ice Hockey Newsletter

Dear Smashville! You are receiving as you are a member of WikiProject Ice Hockey There's been many more new things going on at WP:HOCKEY, and I think this will help you to stay informed. Since the last newsletter sent out in October, there have been many new changes. I'm hoping to make this newsletter a bit more regular; Kaiser matias and Skudrafan1 asked for a new issue a week ago, but sadly, I've been a bit lazy and committed to other things hence this other delay. --Maxim(talk)

New recognized content

Wayne Gretzky; this picture is featured

By Maxim
There has been numerous new recognized content, so much that it's too time-consuming to sift through the "trophy cases" on WP:HOCKEY. Some interesting achievements:

edit  

Task forces

By Maxim

There was a new taskforce created within the WikiProject to deal with topics related to the Boston Bruins. It was originally founded as a separate WikiProject, but was quickly turned into a taskforce within WikiProject Ice Hockey. The list of participants is located here. Located at WP:BRUINS, the taskforce's goals are to make Boston Bruins and Bobby Orr featured articles. Good luck!

edit  

New Administrators

By Maxim
Since October, there have been three new admins promoted within the project:

A previously admin-only feature has been made available for all users. The rollback feature allows a user to quickly revert vandalism with one click. If you wish to have rollback, contact an active admin or post a request to WP:RFR.

edit  

Featured Topic Drive

By Maxim

The original featured topic drive, initiated by Scorpion0422, has concluded succesfully. National Hockey League awards is now a featured topic, with 24 articles in total. Of them, 20 are featured lists, one is a featured article, and the other three are trophy articles that were too short to become featured lists. Eight users signed up to help out, shown here. The next Featured Topic hasn't been decided upon, and the ideas and organization for it fell apart. If you have any ideas, don't hesitate to share them at WT:HOCKEY.

edit  

Notes

  • More editors are needed to help out with the newsletter. Maxim doesn't have an infinite nor perfect supply of ideas, and thus he might omit some interesting news.
  • Portal:Ice hockey is being considered for featured status. Feel free to nominate features at Portal:Ice hockey/Suggestions.
  • Should Chris Pronger have been suspended for more than eight games for stomping on Ryan Kesler? Vote here!

[edit] Relisting

Do you have some plan for how a second AFD on NASIOC could be conducted without involvement from single purpose accounts? These guys are active on the internet, and they care about being in Wikipedia. We should assume they'll show up anywhere this is discussed- they had no trouble finding the deletion review. I don't think there's any hope for a clean AFD. All we can do is try to see through the mud the best we can. Friday (talk) 21:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

  • I think once they realize we're not out to get them, they'll cooperate. If they have in fact found the elusive nontrivial secondary source, I think it would be very spiteful of us not to relist it. --SmashvilleBONK! 21:58, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, maybe I mostly just lack confidence in AFD being a good forum for actual rational discussion. If it turns out that a sourced encyclopedia article can be written on this topic, I'm all in favor of someone writing it. We don't need a formal discussion to decide that. I guess I just see no way for the deletion review to not be the same kind of can of worms the AFD was. It's already attracted a few apparent single-purpose accounts- some of the same ones we saw at AFD. Friday (talk) 22:23, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
I actually thought about working with them to write a new one...except for the fact that the page was protected from recreation...and the more I thought about it...I dunno...I mean, obviously I don't disagree with you...but I don't know that the article really got a fairshake...it was sockpuppeted for about 6 days before anyone noticed it...so really they only had about a day for anyone that wasn't a sock to try and help them...but at that point, they had already felt like it was a witchhunt... --SmashvilleBONK! 23:06, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Noticed that you are keeping an eye on Eight Belles. While you are at it, can you also watchlist filly, horse racing, Kentucky Derby and Thoroughbred for the same reason? (Thoroughbred just went GA and we at WP:EQUINE are probably feeling a little protective of our newly titled prize!) So far I've only seen a few edits that needed to be tossed (some not even about Eight Belles), but some folks are going to want to put a reference to her into every article possible, and so if I could get a few more eyes on the most likely suspects, it would be very helpful. Thanks. Montanabw(talk) 05:40, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I already have horse racing and Kentucky Derby on it, but I'd be more than happy to add the others. :) --SmashvilleBONK! 13:15, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I left a reply there; I think you took my comment the wrong way, my apologies. JeremyMcCracken (talk) (contribs) 19:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I did. Thanks for the clarification. --SmashvilleBONK! 19:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Schoharie Valley

Hey, Smashville, Dr.orfannkyl here. On the Schoharie Valley page, Sgt.bender and another user called Qworthy are having an editing war over Araxi Hubbard Dutton Palmer, and whether or not she's notable enough to be included in the article. In my opinion, since she's very famous locally, I figure she should (or could) be mentioned as a notable resident. And I think, since Sgt.bender and I live in Schoharie County, that we are experts on the issue of important locals. But either way, I would appreciate it if you could put your two cents in and try to stop all the back and forth editing. Dr.orfannkyl (talk) 05:21, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested photo

Hello! I noticed that on your userpage you state that you are living in Nashville. Would you be willing to take and upload a photo of the Nashville Tennessee Temple? It would be much appreciated. —Remember the dot (talk) 01:16, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm in California right now, but when I get home, I'll be sure to. --SmashvilleBONK! 17:14, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
