[edit] Umakant Sharma

Thanks for the heads up on the {{afd}} of the article on Umakant Sharma, it is much appreciated! Hope you have had happy holidays and a happy new year! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 06:54, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

man listen to me i need those articles you understand? (Added by user User:Yabay 17:05, 1 January 2007)


[edit] Bobby Barr

Hi there, generally professional sportspersons are considered notable, for footballers in the UK, teams that are within the top ten tiers of the league system are notable, and therefor most players within those teams. Regards Jcuk 17:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagging Images

Hi there.

I just wanted to give you a heads up that CSD A# are not criteria for image deletion, they have their own section of the policy. I labeled this image as an orphan instead. Soon, Orphanbot will come around and tag it for deletion after five days. Procedural nonsense, it could be ignore all rules kind of deletion, but this is more of a heads up for later new pages patrolling tagging. Keep up the vigilant hunt, happy editing to you. Teke (talk) 05:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

I went ahead and deleted the image, I see it is from a deleted A7 article. Teke (talk) 05:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The diff you posted for the commons PotY competition was invalid

Your vote seems to have been struck because the diff was invalid. You might want to try again. ---N Shar (talk • contribs) 02:00, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Template:Doosan Group

Hi Springnuts. I disagree with your A7 tagging of this template for speedy deletion. Doosan Group is clearly notable, and while I agree that User:Mirmo! has created a number of shaky pages, he/she appears to be interested in South Korean corporations in general and any concerns about their edits should probably be taken as good-faith notability problems rather than spamming. If you feel this template is not helpful or have another reason for its deletion, it could be listed at WP:TFD. Cheers, Deiz talk 09:39, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Having looked into this a little further, Mirmo's edits tread a very fine line of notability. However, as there is a wide range of companies featured in his editing, I don't feel he is an outright spammer. I do fully support his block for removing tags. I'll continue to look into these pages, so far I've speedied one and removed a couple of tags as inappropriate, 2 on templates and one from an article with a weak-but-visible claim to notability. I might ask other members of WikiProject Korea to get involved with some of the salvageable pages. Deiz talk 09:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thoughtform

Your determination and reversion was unfounded and rash. Thanx 4 the prompt to edit.

[edit] Survey Invitation

Hi there, I am a research student from the National University of Singapore and I wish to invite you to do an online survey about Wikipedia. To compensate you for your time, I am offering a reward of USD$10, either to you or as a donation to the Wikimedia Foundation. For more information, please go to the research home page. Thank you. --WikiInquirer 14:11, 15 March 2007 (UTC)talk to me

[edit] Wikipedia talk:Notability (people)#Regarding notability of Football (soccer) players

Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability. I think clearer guidelines are needed to avoid repeated inappropriate nominations for deletion and time consuming discussions. Cheers! StephP 17:44, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Heretical (website)

Hi, at the AFD for Heretical (website), you commented "merge, redirect not needed", but in your edit summary stated "redirect". Did you mean "redirect, merge not needed"? Would you please clarify your position there? Thank you in advance, Black Falcon 21:17, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User:AAA!

I saw your note on their talk page. I was beginning to wonder, as his user page history was boring, and then two vandal edits one after another, followed by you! Very strange. I wonder if it is the '!' ? ;-) Shenme 09:14, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out the problem (I suspected there was something 'behind' all this) I've made a report because it seems more than a warning is warranted, but what? (sigh) Now I have to go apologize and explain to someone else. Shenme 09:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
Seeing my name everywhere. God, I feel like a whore... --AAA! (AAAA) 11:36, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Apologies for inadvertent vandalism

No problem. I looked at the sandbox's history, and saw that someone redirected the sandbox to my page, just like you said. And thanks for reverting the edits made on it aswell. :) --AAA! (AAAA) 11:34, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: List of people who went to heaven alive

Hi Springnuts, In spite of my comments, if I could think of a way to title it (and Noroton, who also agrees titling is a problem, is also trying to think of a way), I would like to see such an article! I've asked a pastor friend to look over the article, its talk page and AfD discussion to see if he has any ideas. There is a common thread, but how to title it? I have my doubts if this can be done. This has been a great lesson in WP process for me, especially that 'I like it' is not a good enough reason for an article! killing sparrows 14:09, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toolbox

I was bored, drinking, and rereading old talk pages, and I noticed that you had borrowed the toolbox from my userpage. If you want them, I edited it with the new user-warning templates. Feel free to steal the coes. Or not. Whatever. -FisherQueen (Talk) 01:57, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Now that I'm sober, I'll add that it's really Fuhghettaboutit's work, although he's been very generous about letting the rest of us steal it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 04:03, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your recent edits

Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Wikisigbutton.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 21:09, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Christianity Explored

It actually looks a lot nicer now. You did a good job. I fixed the external links so that the actual words are the link. I would also advise that you create a references list with all of the sources that you have within the article. You know how to do that? Silver seren 21:12, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Between you and me...I don't either. XD But I think i've figured it out from looking at other articles. let me see if it works.Silver seren 21:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Hah, it worked! Now let me see if I can name them... Silver seren 21:23, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, i'm completely done. I made all the references as names. Whew...tiring. XP Silver seren 21:34, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
No, thank you! My first ever barnstar! *hugs* If you ever need any help or just want some advice on other articles, feel free to give me a call. ;) Silver seren 14:20, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Conflict Strikes Again

Wow, I had something really lengthy and worthwhile, and then got the old "edit conflict" process that wiped it all out. Short version... Go with Matthew 28:19 instead of Mark 16:15, teach the world, leave preaching to others; walk the fine line of describing instead of promoting; respect the copyright; I can write the cold, unemotional version for comparison purposes if you're worried that it doesn't sound objective enough. Mandsford 21:47, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Questions regarding "Christianity Explored"

Would you care if I did an edit? You can always go to history and do the revert if you don't like any of the suggested changes. This would be more of a matter of style, and not just a spellcheck, but without any alteration of content or meaning, Technically, anyone can edit, but I like to ask.

The next big question is, what's the Emmaus Course consist of? I looked at the article about the Alpha Course, and the noted that CE, Alpha and Emmaus make up a trinity (right word?) of courses for study in the Anglican Church. Any cites to the Emmaus Course? Is it a three part series? (I'm guessing Alpha first (logically), Explored second, and Emmaus, naturally, at the end). Since it's a threesome of some sort, it makes sense that the three would be linked, but I didn't see a blue link for the third course. Mandsford 22:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

OK, I understand that now. My parents were Episcopalian, and I'm acquainted with the high mass, low mass, and whatever the in-between is called, all linked by the Book of Common Prayer and other constants in a system that permits each church to otherwise "adjust the settings". Very interesting. Mandsford 12:02, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

I am out of town on a wikibreak, so I will have to get back to you to edit that. Bearian 20:38, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
I made some minor edits to wikify the article. The Emmaus course needs a link, too. Bearian 02:10, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bad fiancé

Thanks for your speedy tag, however, OR is not a reason for speedy delete nor are "concepts" A7 material, but your tag did lead me to find that his had been deleted before and G4 is one of the best reasons. :-) Thanks for helping to keep WP clean. Carlossuarez46 20:52, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

  • Oops, I made an assumption: A7 refers to WP:CSD#A7 (criteria A7 for speedy deletion: no assertion of notability) and G4 refers to WP:CSD#G4 (criteria G4: recreation of material after deletion under WP:AFD - articles for deletion debate). Cheers, Carlossuarez46 00:00, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Conflict exchange

Based on your comment in which you thought 'Conflict exchange' was vandalism, I decided to do some checking. I discovered I was wrong. The common term in telecommunications for a telephone prefix that allows a large number of simultaneous incoming calls is called a choke exchange. I have moved the page over, changed the internal reference from conflict exchange to choke exchange and I will put in some references to show where the term comes from. Paul Robinson (Rfc1394) 12:58, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Spinodal decomposition‎

Say, you had tagged this as original research, but it looks to me as if it is something real (due to the infamous google-test.) If you meant to say this article in particular was totally different from the concept, or else still disagree, you may of course readd some deletion tag. Otherwise I suggest we let it stay for a while to see if some scholars come by and find out if it is good or not. Greetings from a fellow RCP, Greswik 19:59, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, you are of course right, I didn't think of the {{unreferenced}}. By the way, check out this quick way to write a templates name without actually invoking it (just write tl| in the beginning of it. ) Nice on the talkpages so we don't get the gnomes coming to the wrong place! :-)Greswik 20:18, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Compass (charity) The Peasall Sisters

This charity is a non government organisation providing services to people concerned with the health and social impact of illegal drug use. It was set up in 1986 and has a network of agencies across the UK. These agencies provide services spanning the areas of health, social care and the criminal justice system.

Not found any evidence of notability yet - but they are big.

[edit] Eurofighter_Typhoon#Costs_increases

Ok, just had time to check myself, and the reference already given ([1]) says: "The current forecast cost of Typhoon is £19,018 million, compared to £16,670 million approved at Main Gate." - that's likely what was meant by the original author. Anyway, I was just reading the article and noted how the paragraph made no sense (it says eurofighter cost increase compares favorably to f22) then changed it without own research or knowing anything about this topic, so I'll leave this to you :) --Allefant 09:44, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] TY

Glad I could help. Ritterschaft 20:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks!

Thanks for going ahead and turning Dating of the Exodus into a redirect -- which, I believe, was the correct solution. --ArthurDenture (talk) 05:57, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] UKYP

I find it both unnecessary and unrepresentative. A number of other sources disprove the comments (admittedly not displayed on the page!) and it mystifies me why an author would quote so selectively, but I cannot dispute that you quote from a published article, and I thank you for removing the text from the introductory paragraph. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bob.bobbins (talk • contribs) 01:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Angus Tók Hnífinn

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on Angus Tók Hnífinn. The reason is:

About the album, not the band - not subject to CSD A7

For your information, עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 12:23, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

The article about the band was deleted, is there a way to retrieve it? --85.220.49.145 (talk) 16:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Since it was deleted through proposed deletion, it will be recreated on request. However, it is likely to be deleted soon after through a deletion discussion. עוד מישהו Od Mishehu 07:19, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] "Non-admin closure"

"Non-admin closure" is discussed at WP:DPR#NAC. All it means is that the person who closed the discussion was not an admin (in this case, The Evil Spartan is not an admin). Hope this helps.-Andrew c [talk] 22:10, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] John Percival (bishop)

Blimey, that was quick work - anything else to add?! BencherliteTalk 22:41, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

I've put that up as a DYK suggestion, so the article may yet make the front page! Regards, BencherliteTalk 23:32, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] correcting typos

You apologize on my Talk page about correcting typos. I thought your edit correcting typos was perfectly friendly, and the edit comment was fine. However you fixed typos in Peterkingiron's comment, not in mine. I take it as a compliment that mine passed your scrutiny. :) doncram (talk) 18:08, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Lara Pulver

Hello there, I've just gone bulldozing in putting new stuff on the Lara Pulver article, and think I've deleted some of your changes. Can you just have a look and check for me, I'm useless. Just as a note, your help with the article is much appreciated as I believe the motive for tagging it for deletion was malicious. Another editor had deleted all but the opening sentence of the article, so I restored much of the information also putting a message on their discussion page and subsequently they have tagged the article for deletion. Lara is a notable subject for Wikipedia and has done a number of major prouductions and despite certain peoples personal beliefs, even a nomination for an Olivier Award is a prestigious honour in the UK, being the equivalent of a Tony Award in the USA. Cheers Crazy-dancing (talk) 11:15, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Question - It seems there is support to keep the article now, so who makes the final decision and when does the deletion tag actually get removed? I don't pretend to know a great deal about the processes of Wikipedia, I just edit articles relating to things that I have personal knowledge about and hope that what I've added meets Wikipedia standards. Crazy-dancing (talk) 12:14, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Lara Pulver picture. I did not take the picture myself, but just uploaded it from a copy I have. It's not a copyright picture and is one she widely uses to 'publicise' herself, maybe you could recommend how to mark it up properly. Thanks Crazy-dancing (talk) 13:06, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] [Open Evangelical]]

Hi Bot,

You correctly spotted a typo but miscorrected

"which contains an the outline of Open Evangelicalism"

to

"which contains and the outline of Open Evangelicalism"

it should read

"which contains an outline of Open Evangelicalism"

I still think you are clever.

Regards
