[edit] Draft article

"If you are writing a draft article that will have fair use images in it once it reaches the article space, you can simply add a colon to it."

This article is a draft and a copy due to the previous history of rogue admins editors deleteing the primary article. As it stands right now - the noob - as written here is BLOCKED from being re-added to wikipedia. There is a similar article being proposed for re-addition to the wiki, but it is likely to go to AFD or DRV once said rogue admins editors find it. This is the backup/draft copy, and it should be left alone from deletion bots until the entire article status is resolved. Timmccloud 15:33, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Though I happen to like the article and its subject, I think you miss a point with your argument against administrators. Wikipedia is not run by administrators, but by editors, some of whom happen to be administrators, and have no more influence or power than any other editor. The article was not deleted because of "rogue administrators", but because of other reasons. For example, the current deletion process does not weight strength of argument. I could have refuted every single delete vote back then with clear and sound argumentation, and still those votes would count. Attacking administrators is a common thought bad habit.

Good point, I've altered my comments accordingly. Timmccloud 14:51, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Apparently BetacommandBot ignores warnings

FYI

{{nobots}}

'<!--BetacommandBot Exclude-->'

is completely ignored by BetacommandBot , and the page was vandalized again by the bot. Complaints to the bot owner are ignored, so I've just left it with a ':' in front of it so the bot goes away. Thanks Krator, I've really enjoyed your help over this last year.
