Blue words

Nah; that only made you look absent-minded, not ridiculous.  :-) — Coren (talk) 05:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Your message

I don't think you were being too harsh, I mean 3RR is 3RR. Though the user does seem confused. I looked through the reverts and it was hard to see what he was trying to do. Was he adding the request for game cheats(I think?) to the bottom on purpose? I'll keep an eye as well so it doesn't just turn into a spat between the two of you. Heaven knows, the wiki needs as many Pokemon-obsessed editors as possible! ;) Cheers Dina 18:32, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm not going to block you for it, and you're under no obligation to "turn yourself in". If the dispute seems to have cooled down, I would suggest leaving that article alone for a while. There are enough folks interested in the topic that I imagine it will be fine. Don't beat yourself up, even if you feel like you've over reacted a tad, it really doesn't seem like a big deal. Gah, now I'm going to get up with all these silly pages on my watch list ;). People do like to insert tips & tricks into those, don't they? Dina 19:06, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: Regarding an Edit Summary

Yes, that's right. I could not tell whether this is a content dispute (with 3RR on both side) or vandalism from the other user, if it isn't vandalism then I'd like to suggest that you try to discuss it further with the other party (I can see that you have tried already - so maybe the process at WP:DISPUTE may be useful). If it definitely is simply vandalism, then please let me have more details about how I can identify it as such and I will try to help out. Cheers TigerShark 21:17, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

The Strange Death Of Liberal England (Band)

Hi. I removed the CSD tag from the The Strange Death Of Liberal England (Band). I checked what sort of Google hits they were getting, partially on the grounds of the name ;O), but there is a fair amount of reliable critical reaction online, from reliable sources, to at least remove the CSD. I left a note on the talk page. FlowerpotmaN·(t) 23:38, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: Reversion

Anyone who tries to delete the redirects on main Pokemon pages should be reverted. Those who do so consistently should be reported to Wikipedia as would any other article. If they do that, they're probably kids anyway.--Zxcvbnm 23:43, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

RE:Mauritian

I do too, and I have a feeling they are all the same as Nitr021, I'm blocking the first two, and putting in a checkuser for all three. I also salted both the Mauritian articles they were creating. DarthGriz98 04:43, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

List of Pokémon (281-300)

All I know is that there is an article called List of Pokemon and if you scroll down you'll see that numbers 281 through 300 are already there, each with a link to their own page of information which seem to be pretty comprehensive. Any other lists of Pokemon might need to be deleted, too. Perhaps the information about each Pokemon in the article in question can be merged with their own respective articles.

Ah, I just read on the talk page of WikiProject Pokemon that you guys are combining the individual articles into pages of twenty Pokemon each. I didn't know that was happening because I'm not a member of that project, but I am a member of WikiProject Nintendo. My bad, I didn't know that was going on and thought it was a duplicate. I'll remove my speedy delete tag from the article and good luck with your project. Useight 06:26, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

User:Managergo

I think that he probably just posted in the wrong wikipedia, and I have already sent him a message (in English, I cannot speak Thai} asking him to either translate or go away. But your watching the page would be good, yes. Thank you. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 01:14, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Theresa knott has been an admin for much longer than I have, so I guess she knows what she's doing. As I see it, she has deleted the userpage, rather than blocking the editor, so I think leaving it on your watchlist is reasonable. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 01:24, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Sargeant deleteion

sorry I'm new to this but I'd like to learn. I think the Sargeant page that I made should be undeleted. They have played sessions at XFM, played glastonbury, T in the park, been on the BBC and they are also mentioned here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T_in_the_park#T-break_Stage but the link goes to the rank.

Shufflepuck

I don't think it quite meets speedy criteria, but I think it falls below WP:MUSIC, as does Adam Orth, its frontman. If I were you, I'd list them both at WP:AFD where I think there will be consensus to delete it. Good catch. Carlossuarez46 18:25, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Images

I have always claimed that while I am competent (at least) at editing, at username problems and at vandalism problems, I am not competent at image work.I stipulated this in my RfA, on the basis that most of us cannot be skilled at everything. May I suggest that you post at WP:AN/I, where you will find many admins to whom this poses no problem. --Anthony.bradbury"talk" 23:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: As you can see, I removed the CSD. There is some claim of notability, so it's best use an AfD instead. -- Gogo Dodo 04:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Re your message: Just a little bit. I think you need a bowl of ice cream. =) The article is borderline for notability. Google did not turn up many encouraging returns and it's got the whiff of promotional material. I recommend sticking to the uw-speedyN templates should a CSD tag be removed instead of trying to craft your own. It gives a link on CSDs just in case they don't get it and so on. -- Gogo Dodo 04:57, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

One armed man

A bit torn, as just about anything to do with Twin Peaks interests me...but that aside, I agree, there's not that much to say about this subject. A one-armed man is a man with one arm. (and I feel like it should be "one-armed" anyway). My instinct is to turn it into a redirect, though it's hard to pick the right thing. Perhaps a redirect to One-armed the disambig page, with a line or two there that sends the reader to Twin Peaks and The Fugitive? That way, if someone does search on the subject, they could get somewhere they might be headed. Dina 20:14, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Replied here: [23]. -WarthogDemon 20:29, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
The first version of this article is actually about the song (of which I've never heard). However, both the band and the album that has it have articles Drawing Black Lines by Project 86 so it could probably get tossed on the disambig with a redirect to the album, don't you think? Whoever tagged the talk page probably did so when it was the original version. Cheers Dina 20:33, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

You should add a {{-}} under each of the sections, so the images don't flow into other sections. TTN 23:42, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Merging Pokemon articles

User:Colletyon

So I blocked him for 48 hours for his abusive edit summaries. Can you give me a brief primer on what exactly the issue is here? Some kind of merge of Pokeman articles? Dina 19:18, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

You did fine. Those edit summaries were pretty inflamatory, though I must admit, a little Pokemon snit fit like that is a little entertaining for old folks like me. And to think, some people edit war over meaningless articles like Iraq war! Dina 19:39, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Chippewa Publishing LLC

Hello, Thanks for taking a peek at my article for Chippewa Publishing LLC. Recently we've had comments from readers about our content about our non-discrimination of people's orientation. I believe the technology in ebooks, the growth of the company, and its decision to ignore those who want to discriminate against others is a rare find in today's world. The company believes in ebooks and print on demand printing (which is NOT self publishing or vanity printing) because it believes in the environment and it states so on its website. They're tired of seeing thousands of books printed and wasted in the dumpster because the books didn't sell. They're open about it and excited to be a part of the growth of electronic commerce and electronic reading. I believe it would be a disservice to all to eliminate the company from the listings. Thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theladyboo (talk • contribs).

Okay, I'm real confused on how to reply to this. Secondary sources include the hardcover copy of Writer's Digest 2007 AND 2008. We're also listed in their website database. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Theladyboo (talk • contribs).
