[edit] Morecambe Bay

If you look at http://encyclopedia.thefreedictionary.com/Morecambe%20Bay, you'll see a declaration at the bottom of the page that they copy from Wikipedia. Average Earthman 10:00, 9 Sep 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Quackery category

Hi!

I noticed you're making some modifications in the field of quackery and pseudo-science. This classification was discussed at some length on the mailing list in June and July. Here, for example, is a message I wrote:

http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-June/025380.html

I was unsuccessful in obtaining a consensus for moving the homeopathy article into the quackery category. I wish you good luck.

Thanks. I didn't even know there was a mailing list where this sort of thing was discussed. I've tried to sign up to it but the page appears to be down at the moment. Anyway, Homeopathy clearly belongs in the quackery category as it's a quack therapy. Seems fairly simple. :) --StoatBringer 12:25, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
Indeed. Some people feel that saying it's quackery is too disparaging and not "neutral" enough. You don't have to sign up for the mailing list to discuss things like this, in fact it's mostly used for administrative issues - most of which are quite boring :) But good luck telling the truth on ineffective medical treatments. - Haukurth 15:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)


[edit] Bonzai buddy

On that one, you should have put a {{afd}} tag at the top. I was wondering where that was until I edited the top article. I doubt it'll get speedied unless you give a reason specific at WP:CSD. I'll see what I can do to help. Karmafist 00:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/P*U*S

I've changed my vote on this AfD to keep, based on evidence of radio play, record releases, and tours that leads me to believe that this band is sufficiently notable to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia. BD2412 T 02:42, 22 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Image:Ravi.jpg

Can you please give a reason why your marked Image:Ravi.jpg for speedy deletion? Use {{db|reason}} to do the same. Thanks. --Pamri • Talk 12:32, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

I marked it for deletion because there were three images (I marked all three), almost exactly the same and with similar names, which were not linked to by any articles. --StoatBringer 12:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  • Are you sure those images weren't accidentally orphaned? - Mgm|(talk) 12:38, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Luella Bartley

I think we both agree that the article isn't very good to have, but I advise you not to blank articles and then putting a speedy deletion request on them based on the fact that they're empty — we do check the history. Such things could earn you a bad reputation. Please read the Wikipedia:Deletion policy and request the article to be deleted normally. Or get Luella to ask for a speedy deletion. ;) --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 11:49, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Oh my, it wasn't you! Sorry. The article was empty because the creator had blanked it before. I'll fix that and ask why it was blanked; probably the original editor doesn't know how to ask for it. My mistake. --Pablo D. Flores (Talk) 11:54, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Phoebe Philo

Hi, I just speedy deleted the article; however, as in the case above, the author himself blanked the content - anyways, the content was a copyvio and had to be deleted. Next time when you nominate an article for CSD, please check the history of the article. Thanks for the heads up. --Gurubrahma 12:48, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Sure, not a problem. --StoatBringer 13:05, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Your nomination of List of temples of CJC

Request for Speedy Keep - Please consider withdrawing your nomination of this page. Although the creator of this page created it in such a way that it was mostly a list of external links, the subject matter has significant possibility of encyclopedic content, and the editing that has gone on so far has been significant.

[edit] Bommerang.jpg copyright question

Hello. I like the image found at Image:Boomerang.jpg and I noticed the use of an obsolete copyright tag. Would you mind if I updated the copyright template to {{Copyrighted free use}}? Or would you prefer to update it yourself to either {{PD-self}} or {{PD-user}}? Thanks for considering this. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 04:11, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion

I noticed that you tagged the page The Queen Elizabeth's High School for speedy deletion with the reason "non-notable school". However, "non-notable school" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use WP:PROP if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle (talk) 18:14, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD Nomination: Agnostic theism
