Civility
Normally I would let comments such as you posted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/QStik Records (2nd nomination) pass without making an issue of them however judging from comments from other editors you seem to be making a habit of posting uncivil comments about other users. There are a number of issues that I wish to raise with you firstly:
"The editor in question who has recreated the article is well known to members of my local project for his self-promotion activities on the wiki"
What are these alledged 'self-promotion' activities - as I have no relationship with any of the bands or record labels or in fact any of the other articles I have edited
I replaced the article after I had provided what I considered reasonable justification that the article was notable - I still disagree with the rationale on why it was considered non-notable but am willing to accept that others have differing views (a view that you don't seem to take).
I also take offence that you have suggested that I be blocked
"issue the user a stern warning (and maybe find an admin who might consider a block for at least 72hrs)"
which according to Wikipedia's guidelines on civility is a serious matter.
I am not trying to start an edit war or have any ongoing conflict with you but just want you to be aware that your comments are hurtful and are not constructive to the Wikipedia community. Dan arndt 09:58, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- If you can't handle the heat, then get out of the kitchen. You are out of line with your constant recreation of articles, and you are out of line with your comments now which amount to nothing more than winging about some comments which were stating what is blindingly obvious to anyone aware of your activities. Please take a long walk off a very short electronic pier. Thewinchester (talk) 01:45, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
Huh?
I see you're stirring the pot again....
But that's not why I'm here. I promised you a scan of something. I'm now in a position to deliver, but I can't remember what it was, and can't be bothered digging through email / talk archives, whichever it was. Hesperian 11:13, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Biography Newsletter 5
 Volume IV, no. 4 - September 2007 |
|
Congratulations to our 225 new members |
The newsletter is back! Many things have gone on during the past few months, but many things have not. While the assessment drive helped revitalize the assessment department of the project, many other departments have received no attention. Most notably: peer review and our "workgroups". A day long IRC meeting has been planned for October 13th, with the major focus being which areas of the project are "dead", what should our goals be as a project, and how to "revive" the dead areas of our project. Contribute to the discussion on the the new channel (see below) We decided to deliver this newsletter to all project members this month but only those with their names down here will get it delivered in the future. This is your newsletter and you can be involved in the creation of the next issue. Any and all contributions are welcome. Simply let yourself be known to any of the undersigned or post news on the next issue's talk page
Lastly, a new WikiProject Biography channel has been set up on the freenode network: Our thanks to Phoenix 15 for setting it up.

hello i just wanted to say that my edits to the connolly page are very constructive. Two movies have been shot there, which is of course very important to the suburbs history. I would appreciate you not removing these edits, because they do indeed reflect culture and community. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.166.217.232 (talk • contribs) 02:49, October 9, 2007
- To the above anonymous user - Notability for these films has not been established. They yield no results on any major search engine, and having lived in the surrounding area for the last 25 years (before the suburb was even constructed), I nor have any of my friends or those who live in the suburb heard of them. In order for such films to remain, notability must be demonstrated and appropriate reliable sources found to support the claim of notability. Wikipedia is not for things made up in school one day. Thewinchester (talk) 06:12, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry, I tell a lie. There is one reference to it on a major search engine , namely an entry in a Bebo user profile of one Tamsyn B, namely a comment by someone using the name Jamie O Connell. The nature of the edit strongly indicates beyond any reasonable doubt that the information you have persisted to add to this entry has no claim to notability, and is nothing more than self-aggrandising efforts by a group of friends which thankfully will never see the light of a dark cinema.

Heads up
A new user has created a seemingly decent article over at Armadale Shopping City. Just for watchlist/possible future improvement etc :) Orderinchaos 09:09, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
