Afd

Well...sorry if you feel I wasted your time. I think it was a rather productive learning experience for me, and I have a lot to learn. I'll be more careful from now on. --ShadowPuppet 02:16, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry, if I was a bit sharp - I feel negligible annoyance towards you. It was more that I wanted to stress that redirects (most of the time) are something anybody can be bold and do without discussion. OK, I flashed my admin rights and merged all the Tibetan prayer flag versions but that was unneccessary - the duplicate copies could just have been changed to redirects. I must be slow - I did not notice when I was tidying up Bovine Spiritualis (which was a copyvio) that you had been there as well - I trust you approve of the redirect there. -- RHaworth 02:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, all's well that ends well; lessons learned. I was just going through the new articles tidying things; I like to see the new things people are writing. I didn't realize the bovine article was a copyvio. Anyway, thanks for the help. --ShadowPuppet 02:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

No source tag

When you are using {{no source}} to tag images, use all the parameters like {{no source|month=January|day=28|year=2006}}. Otherwise, the images are just thrown into Category:Images with unknown source as of unknown date 2006 instead of by exact date. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Why? Leave it to OrphanBot. -- RHaworth 06:05, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
    • This is separate from Orphanbot. It becomes easier for admins to delete all the old images by date rather than just checking through hundreds of images to see how many have had seven days pass. And Orphanbot goes through each day's listings. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:43, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Now why didn't you tell me to use {{subst:nsd}}? My objection was to keying the date, and especially in a long winded way, when I can just do ~~~~~. Can you also please do a version of template:no license that similarly puts the date in automatically? -- RHaworth 06:23, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Fruit flies and humans

It can be deleted complety. The content was in an inappropraite place, and had to move away from there. However, I can see that wikipedia it is not an how-to, and as such, remove it. I am not intending to do much with that page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by KimvdLinde (talk • contribs) Oeps sorry --KimvdLinde 15:59, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Ewe drumming

Ewe drumming and discussion from author's talk page. No need to clutter his page up.

So Prince lyrikal gave two references which, for some unaccountable reason, RasputinAXP would have removed to the talk page. -- RHaworth 18:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, I only meant to clip the "author" section. I'm allowed to make mistakes, right? I was going through newpages and not wanting to toss that bit in the trash I moed it to the Talk page. RasputinAXP talk contribs 19:35, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up on the speedy delete, will save me (and everyone) some time. San Saba 20:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Mansuit

Not sure if you saw that this was on AfD when you speedied it, but I've closed the discussion. - brenneman(t)(c) 02:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I tend to open CSD articles four at a time. When I saw it, it was tagged for speedy. It was changed before I got round to deleting it. -- RHaworth 03:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Depleted uranium Archives

The archive was setup that way because of some redirects from other pages that shared talk pages during the mediation that just finished. We had several alternate pages running concurently, with their talk pages redirected to a single one. I don't care there is nothing in those pages I care about, I didn't want to be accused of talk page blanking so when I placed redirects to the new articles that we settled on, I put redirects to the archived talk pages under their own title.--DV8 2XL 03:18, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I don't really understand any of the above. All I know is: talk pages go in Talk: namespace, articles go in (Main) manespace and these were talk: pages. -- RHaworth 03:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Like I said I don't care, and if anyone else has a issue I'll point them to you --DV8 2XL 03:32, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Cleaning Captains

Argh! Perhaps there are 2 Captain John Davises, but then should we not be consistent and eliminate all "captains" from the List of pirates, as there is the disclaimer that "this list includes both captains and notable crew". Please enlighten me, I'm new at this!--Seematt 12:27, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Question: Pirate John Davis was purportedly his real name, though he also went by a 'nom de guerre' of robert Searle. In the interest of not having a user being redirected to a disambiguation page, should the biography (which I'm editing) be listed as a link to Robert Searle instead of John Davis?--Seematt 14:58, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Robert Searle now redirects to John Davis (buccaneer) which is correct. List of pirates now links correctly to John_Davis_(buccaneer) at one point and to Robert_Searle at another. The latter link could be changed to [[John Davis (buccaneer)|Robert Searle]] but it is not critical.
The John Davis disambig page lists two captains so Captain John Davis should link there. -- RHaworth 15:47, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dharwaji_bhagol.JPG. However, the image may soon be deleted unless we can determine the copyright holder and copyright status. The Wikimedia Foundation is very careful about the images included in Wikipedia because of copyright law (see Wikipedia's Copyright policy).

The copyright holder is usually the creator, the creator's employer, or the last person who was transferred ownership rights. Copyright information on images is signified using copyright templates. The three basic license types on Wikipedia are open content, public domain, and fair use. Find the appropriate template in Wikipedia:Image copyright tags and place it on the image page like this: {{TemplateName}}.

Please signify the copyright information on any other images you have uploaded or will upload. Remember that images without this important information can be deleted by an administrator. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or ask for help at Wikipedia talk:Image copyright tags. Thank you. -- Carnildo 07:50, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Fritchie

Thanks for the note. I realize now I was looking at things the wrong way. I had gone through Category:Move to Wikisource and was thinking they were things to be deleted once they were transwikied and wanted to be sure we didn't end up with two copies at wikisource. I have already decided to try and fix these things with redirrects after watching the results of my prod nominations. I went back and redirected the only one that was left besides Barbara Frietchie by John Greenleaf Whittier which I didn't feel comfortable redirecting to a play by the same name that was not wriiten by John Greenleaf Whittier. But I will not change what you did, I just didn't feel comfortable doing that myself and thought it was a bad title. Although two of the things I nominated for the same reason where speedily deleted, so it seems everyone has a different oponion as what to do with these source texts. As I said above after watching the proceess I think these are best solved with redirects and will do so in the future. Thanks for contacting me as you were the only person who disagreed with my nominations to do so and I think it is important to communicate about these or else we are just chasing our tails. --Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 20:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Noted. I may go back and tidy the Barbara Fritchie/Frietchie articles. Until someone writes an article about (rather than being the text of) the poem, we might as well redirect to the artivle about the play. -- RHaworth 20:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
Great job on cleaning up the Barbara Frietchie ambiguity! Everything makes complete sense now.--Birgitte§β ʈ Talk 16:15, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for that. I was a bit hesitant about touching anything from that side of the Atlantic. Now I have just noticed that a similar exercise is really needed for cutty-sark and Cutty Sark! -- RHaworth 18:32, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

re: pgkbotwin

Have moved WP:CVU/PgkbotWin to Wikipedia:Counter Vandalism Unit/PgkbotWin. Do you propose to leave this article as a total orphan?

By orphan you mean "no pages link it" ? No, I'm planning on setting up a pgkbot resources central place, but it's on queue. -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 23:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Yep, I believe that is what orphan means round here. No hurry, as long as you have it on your todo list. -- RHaworth 08:46, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Antarctic Articles

Hi. Thanks for your note re the batch of Apcbg's articles - I am slowly working through them. I've discussed the articles with apcbg and have agreed that I will copyedit them & they'll check them through. I agree with you that they are not copyvio's - they have given their permission, there is not a substantial amount of info there and they are being substantially changed in the copyedit process (and with my work-hat on as an IP attorney, the finished articles do not infringe). I wasn't 100% sure of the process with regard to removing the copyvio tags, so decided to go the temp route, but am happy to edit them directly if that is considered OK. Kcordina 09:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I am sure that will be OK. I know Esprit15d suggested a note on each talk page but I don't think that is needed either. But do use {{Bulgarian-named Antarctic place}} which I have just created. It means we can have a consistent wording on each page and the permission notice can be removed easily if we decide so to do. I shall move your /Temp articles over the next day or two. Incidentally what legal matters does the Internet Protocol get involved in that it needs an attorney? -- RHaworth 09:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help - I think that's all of the ones labelled as copyvio's fixed. Now just a hundred or so left to copyedit. I don't think the Internet Protocol is yet sentient enough to need an attorney, so it's just boring old patents, copyrights and trademarks for me. Kcordina 14:30, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Speaking hypothetically

You could be blocked for editing other people's userpages or for editing protected pages. The Cunctator 15:23, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bringing my attention to attention, I will provide a reason for deletion of a article henceforth, and i keep the redirect thing in my mind, i am new to wikipedia so i am not very well aware of the rules, the user name Rohit47 belongs to me, I dont like the user name rohit47 so i started using rohitsingh, if there is a way to delete already created user name, i would be happy to delete rohit47. (Rohit Singh 06:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC))

Ronnie Burk

From my talk page:

In case any one asks, you claim Ronnie Burk has been deleted before. That does not show in the history. Possibly under a different title? -- RHaworth 09:40, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
In the first rendition of the page (the most plainspeak one) it was mentioned in the text. I took the poster on his word. --Marinus 09:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

In fact List of surrealist poets and List of poets suggest that a) he is notable and b) he died in 2003. But the article was so crap - not even decently surreal - that we were right to delete it. -- RHaworth 09:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Agreed. --Marinus 10:04, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Amy Street

Why was my article deleted? This was on a serious subject, I realise Wikipedia might not be intrested but I thought I would try - this was not vandalism. Please let my artile remain. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fr 34 (talk • contribs)

  • Because it is an hoax. Go on - prove me wrong - if you can. -- RHaworth 18:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Math markup language

Discussion of Math Markup Language with DanielsCD and MBeychok. I just posted the following response to your interchange with DanielCD regarding my asking for his help about the Wikipedia math markup language. Please let me know if this clears up any questions you have:

RHaworth:
I think this discussion has gone down two different tracks. First of all, you were correct in your original criticisms of my .jpg images which had equations in them. I have since deleted all of those images and written my equations out using the math markup language available here on Wikipedia. I have also deleted my .jpg image of a table of flue gas rates and replaced it with a text-based table as you have noticed.
Secondly, I had also posted articles in one of the WikiCities at http://atmosphericdispersion.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page and developed some equations using their WikiCities version of the math markup language.
In so doing, I noticed that the WikiCities math markup language produces much smaller, neater and less florid equations than does the Wikipedia math markup language. So I asked DanielsCD for help in suggesting that Wikipedia perhaps make the smaller, neater WikiCities math markup also available on Wikipedia.mbeychok 23:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for following this up, and fixing the entry I accidentally removed. Reyk 04:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Policy of deletion

This policy is unfair, the Amy Street page is factual - i can not varify it but frankly Wikipedias' lack of flexibility is like a fascist censorship! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fr 34 (talk • contribs)

  • Factual is not enough. Subjects also have to be notable. -- RHaworth 19:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Symetrism

you deleted the page I was writing on Symetrism, claiming I should keep it as a description of myself. I can understand deleting the one on the symetric party because as you said we have no elected officials, however deleting the description of symetrism itself in my opinion is asinine.

It is a political ideology that some people agree with. Just because it's not as notorious as the GOP or the labour party doesn't mean it's any less valid. I am going to put it back up.

Isn't the purpose of wikipedia to be a repository of knowledge? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Symetrist (talk • contribs)

  • As I have just told Fr 34 above, you have to be notable. But no problem, I am sure you will defend it strongly in the AfD debate. -- RHaworth 19:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Sean_Ripple

I'm confident you revisit your AfD nominations periodically anyway, but this note is to let you know that there are new allegations of notability for the individual above-referenced which might not have been available at the time of your AfD nomination. Cheers :) -- User:Adrian/zap 22:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Actually I don't revisit regularly - my nominations are usually correct (he says arrogantly). I nominated this one on the grounds of vanity and vandalism. Oh - all right I will change my vote. -- RHaworth 22:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

AFD

Those articles are seriously offensive NOW. They should be deleted ASAP not in however many months it takes.

You should probably be aware that this anon is actually -Ril-. A quick check of the IP's contributions can easily confirm this, as it has been involved in -Ril-'s current ArbCom case and it also made a comment at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/200 verses of Matthew, a comment that was later amended by -Ril- to mark as his own. - SimonP 00:52, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I will leave them to your tender mercies then. -- RHaworth 00:54, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Whiting Lane

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whiting Lane Elementary School. What was the reasoning for this deletion? None of the three participants in the AFD said the article was empty (even though they wished it deleted). So, are you saying that it was short, as to be lacking basic context? --Rob 23:22, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

  • In closing the AfD, my use of "empty" was shorthand for Kinu has tagged the article {{empty}} and I agree. It should never have gone to AfD. -- RHaworth 06:09, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

You have a message and query on my talk page

User:Amr Bekhit left you a message on my talk page. --Go for it! 23:40, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks from Amr Bekhit

Thanks for the advice regarding the images on my contribution Diode Modelling. I have added author information and lisencing to the images as you suggested. Regarding your advice on the .png format, I have no problems with converting all the images to .png, but will I need to remove the other images to save space?

Problem with creating a new category

Hi again,

Thought I would drop a line. The question is: A few days ago I created a new category: Members and associates of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering. I had no problems creating it. I then wanted to create a new category: Founding members of the U.S. Academy of Engineering. The system however did not accept it. It never even came up period. Normally I understand anyone can create a new category and if it is deemed not satisfactory then it is purged by admin. But my category never existed. As soon as I tried to save it it didn't save. Why did this happen? Can you help me create it? I would really appreciate the assistance. BTW: I was in Upper Norwood, near Crystal Palace back in '76, going to Davies's College in Holborn. I visited Croydon many times. Lovely place. Take care and thanks for all the feddback. Dr.K. 21:10, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Young Blood

Re: Young Blood (in case ya missed it on my talk page). Apology accepted, and exchanged, if I ruffled any feathers; my message to you was written in total WTF mode. Had me worried. Thanks for following up, and your good words. Not sure how to re-mark that text for deletion, but it sure didn't sound like the Coasters. Zephyrad 14:47, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

thanks for moving

Reverts

Strange picture, why are you reverting the Polar Bear (dab) page ? SirIsaacBrock 00:16, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Cos I have rescued Polar Bear (band) from speedy cos it was written by a user with some edit history and a link to it in Babel Label has survived for some time. Put the band to AfD if you must. -- RHaworth 00:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Walker

Could you please elaborate on what not notible means? In other words why did you delete my page.

I am Stephen Walker, a musician from San Diego, California and I started that page and occasionally edit it to remove unwanted entries from it.

  • I that case, it counts as a vanity article. Wait until someone else considers you are notable and creates an article about you. Or you can post your details to one of the sites given in the box below. -- RHaworth 02:00, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on an article you wrote requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies.

So in other words you are just proving what a dickhead you have the authority to be by deleting a page that has existed for what 2 and a half years..............Sorry your penis is so small this is what it takes for you to feel important...........Oh and I find it rather telling that your own page is protected granting you undeserved immunity from others doing to you what you do to others........... I wonder is there a page here dedicated to the self appointed punk ass Nazi administrators?

  • I take that as an admission that you tried to vandalise my user page. Will you please stop whining - if you think the article should be restored, the correct place to raise the matter is deletion review. -- RHaworth 03:41, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

You take it wrong, which really is not surprising since arrogance is obviously your stock and trade not intelligence. While you are at it try looking up the term hypocrisy you will find your own hideous picture staring back at your from the dictionary, just look one whole post previous to mine and you will see how this applies. Well no, then self honesty would be required something you also don't seem very capable of.

Hackers & Painters

Why did you change Hackers & Painters to Hackers and Painters? The corrent spelling of the book is the former.

--Jasonm 17:58, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Please don't destroy evidence. I did not create a duplicate article, if you had taken the time you would see that the Hackers and Painters article was only a redirect. What are you talking about the 2:1 ? The numbers are miniscule. Please don't have such an aggressive tone when you are writing on my discussing page, it's not what the wikipedia is about. --Jasonm 20:03, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Hazrat Mujaddid Alfi Sani

Hey. Saw you restored the prod tag on Hazrat Mujaddid Alfi Sani. You're not supposed to do that, because prod is only for uncontroversial deletions. (Since the creator removed the tag, the deletion is controversial.) See Wikipedia:Proposed deletion#What this process is NOT for.

Anyway, I went ahead and moved it to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hazrat Mujaddid Alfi Sani for you. NickelShoe 15:56, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

  • You should have checked the history more carefully - who removed the prod? I did just before I restored it. The author had also posted the article at Al-Sheikh Ahmad of Sirhand. When I see such a case, I like to merge histories and the direction I chose to do the merge meant that the prod would disappear momentrarily. -- RHaworth 18:39, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I did. See [1]. It looked like he removed it first. NickelShoe 18:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • OK. I take that back - it is now not clear from the history exactly what happened. -- RHaworth 18:51, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Anyway, I just want to be clear that my reason for pointing out "improper" restoring of the prod tag at AfD isn't meant to point out wrongdoing on the part of an editor, but to make sure the prod guidelines on that are well-publicized. Just want to make sure people realize they aren't supposed to do that. Anyway, appreciate your work. NickelShoe 19:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Stop going on about "improper". Think about it this way - I did not remove and restore the tag - I added it to the second version! - RHaworth 19:07, 6 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I resent my comments being edited! Just put a note underneath explaining, don't change my actual words. I'm not going to change it again, but I'm still not pleased that you don't see the problem with changing words which are signed with somebody else's name. NickelShoe 19:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Arvanit

Hi, thank you for taking care of the Arvanit fork. Of course I agree with your solution. I might need to explain why I perhaps sounded a bit more aggressive in my AfD comments than would have been necessary. This had been a huge edit conflict, drawn out over seven months, in which I only became involved a few weeks ago. I acted as a kind of informal mediator, and finally, when I felt a fair solution had been reached in negotiation with several editors, I myself created a rather substantial re-write of the whole article on that basis. From that moment, the discussion on the talk page suddenly became quiet, no substantial criticism of the article has been brought forward - and yet, some users who kept out of the NPOV negotiations at the time keep making hit-and-run revert attacks and similar maneuvers on it about once every two weeks. This one was the most egregious so far, and really got on my nerves. Lukas (T.|@) 13:25, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Glad to be of help. Your comments did not seem aggressive - a glance at what everybody has been saying at User talk:Arianitr showed me why you were, justifiably, adopting that tone. -- RHaworth 15:01, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Radio Reconnaissance Platoon

Roger, thanks for checking out my article and offering your suggestions. Most of the content from the page comes from either my head or the website that I administer, www.radioreconplt.com. The history was given to me to publish by the first platoon commander, Ernie Gillespie, and the pictures were submitted for publication to me by my best friend and erstwhile teammate, SSgt Brant W. Boyd. Contact information for each can be provided by me, if necessary.

I hope that I answered the issues that you found. I have placed the article into two categories, and identified "Who's Army?". It has been, and is currently being wikified to the best of my understanding. Please feel free to message me with specific critiques and/or questions, if necessary.

Cheers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Recondaddy (talk • contribs)

  • Please sign comments on talk pages with ~~~~. It is nowhere near Wikified! There are dozens more outgoing links needed. In the first few lines I see MAGTF, SIGINT and NATO all of which are acceptable abbreviations providing you make them into links so people can check what they mean if necessary without making the article too long winded for those who know. (You need to learn about "piped" links.) Another essential part of wikification is incoming links - go to other articles and create links to your new article.
I still don't like the large copy and paste but let us see what others think. To prevent others tagging your article as copyvio:
(See Wikipedia:Confirmation of permission.)
But apart from that: welcome and well done! -- RHaworth 16:45, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

You tagged this speedy deletion CSD A7, which is that no assertion of notability is stated in the article. Don't you think that "ROZE has shared the stage with over 50 national acts ROZE will be inducted into the IRRMA Rock and Roll Hall Of fame 2006 ROZE has appeared on over 20 recordings" is an assertion of notability? I'd love to zap that badly written rubbish (may even be hoax, I haven't Googled it) but under A7? Not a chance. --kingboyk 08:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Yeah, yeah. See my latest attack on it. Also creation by user:ROZE suggested vanity. -- RHaworth 08:03, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Tram/Rail stubs

Could you help wikipedia by expanding any of those stubs?Myrtone (the strict Australian wikipedian)(talk)

Hi

Hi there. I think you've mentioned my spelling before! Thanks for your advice anyway, I shall take some of it onboard, maybe edit the user profile. I am a bit of a novice! Thanks anyway. Lofty

Winnie The Pooh (Disney)

Thanks for the protection on the new redirect. When the article was created, I slapped a {{prod}} tag on it, but the creator, User:Jerkman removed it. So I made it a redirect instead, and Jerkman removed it and continued modifying the content. Finally I decided to get an AfD discussion. I'm not sure why so many voted to merge; the content is nearly identical to what's already on Winnie-the-Pooh, and the article title is not going to be a common search term, but I'm happy with the protected redirect. Powers 12:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

I must respectfully disagree with your choice to close the Winnie The Pooh (Disney) AfD so soon. I would have liked to have voted delete per nom, as it is an unlikely search term, even if redirects are cheap. my feeling is that most of the experienced user would have realized that there was nothing to merge and that the redirect was not needed and a closing admin would have found grounds to delete. Even if not, there would have still been grounds to redirect. I would, therefore, urge you to re-open the AfD. Cheers. youngamerican (talk) 19:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
I totally disagree - the matter is tidily closed. The important thing is to keep Jerkman in order not to fuss over a redirect or lack of it. However re-opening an AfD debate does not require admin rights. If you re-open it, I shall not attempt to close it again. -- RHaworth 20:05, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
Upon review of the history, I see that the author has a habit of reverting/recreating on this article and therefore agree with your logic. As for the AfD, I am aware that those other than admins can re-open closed discussions. However, when an AfD is closed in good faith, I would rather talk to the closer about reopening rather than reverting the AfD itself. After this duscussion, I see no reason to assume bad (or even illogical but good) faith on your part or to restore the AfD. If anything, I might put the redirect up for deletion next door at WP:RFD after Jerkman fades away, but you are right, restoring the AfD will likely cause more unwanted wikistress for all parties involved. Thank you for your prompt reply. youngamerican (talk) 20:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
A good reason for keeping the redirect at Winnie The Pooh (Disney) is that behind it lies the history. Anyone, including Jerkman, who feels like doing a merge can check if there is anything salvageable from Jerkman's version. If the redirect is deleted, these edits become unavailable to most users. -- RHaworth 03:01, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Sherlock Holmes

Hi,

From your user page it seems as though you have an interest in classic literature (the reference to 'Ficcionnes') and Sherlock Holmes (although i may be reading too much into the pictures of Reichenbach). If you are a Holmesian may i ask you look, with a fresh pair of eyes, at the wikipedia article on Sherlock Holmes? Many thanks Pydos 17:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

double redirects

I think I have fixed the redirects. If I have not done so to your satisfaction, I would appreciate any feedback. I am new to this, and felt that helping fix things up and tidying would be more useful than pontificating.Yendor1958 13:12, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Yep. They are fine now. -- RHaworth 13:14, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Turkey telephone numbering plan, Copyvio?

Hi, I noticed that you added clean-up tags (which were removed by the author) and moved the Turkey telephone numbering plan article. As your an admin I was wondering if you consider the article was a copy-vio of this page [2]. As most of the text from General Information downwards is from that article and is formatted exactly the same way. E.g. "Access to automatic telephone service within Turkey: trunk / inner - city code number : 0

Access to international telephone service from Turkey: international code : 00

Note: After 3-digit area codes, subscriber numbers cannot be prefaced with the number 1. The number 1 is only to be used for certain special services. " (and so forth)

I was originally just going to wikify it but I don't know whether to if the majority of the article classes as a copy-vio. I thought you'd have a better insight with you being an admin and have already edited the article. Thanks. Englishrose 22:07, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry to take a while to reply. Since it is copied from Turk Telekom's website, I think we can ignore any copyvio aspect - if it was an image we had copied, we could tag it as "promotional". In any case by the time it has been cleaned up it will not even look like a copyvio, eg. we do not need to be told what the international access codes (00 or 011) are, but we do need the curious L/D explained and the Operator Access Code section either needs explained or deleted (probably the latter - surely this is info. for other telco's only - can ordinary users genrate a stop pulse?). -- RHaworth 23:44, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Sorry for my late reply, lol. Yeah it probably will look completely different after a clean-up. I'll give it a go when I've got some free time. Thanks for the reply. Englishrose 23:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

ThinkTanks

Why do you seem hell-bent on deleting anything we try to add to our entry for a game we play called ThinkTanks? You don't know the game or its players so how can you comment on it and propose its deletion? There are hundreds of us who want these entries added and kept. While we appreciate your intention, it is misguided in this case. Thanks Paisano® 15:38, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I am not hell-bent - merely thorough - if one of the lists should be deleted, then all of them should - half measures are simply untidy. The AfD debate will soon tell you whether I am misguided. Please consider whether you are in the right place - look at Wikicities - you need your own separate wiki for this. -- RHaworth 15:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion! I never knew about that place! Looks great! Especially the DOOM entry (another gamecruft...lol). Sorry if I was a bit rude but I was frustrated. I am a noob when it comes to wiki stuff. By the way, would using stubs be a better idea for these lists? All we want was a place to keep the lists so they can be updated by anyone anytime. Thanks. Paisano® 17:05, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Update: Thanks Sir for the wiki lesson. Talk about egg on face. Sheesh that is me. I was the misguided one about wikipedia. Thanks for pointing us in the right direction with wikicities! It's perfect! Good thing you have thick skin! Keep up the great work. Glad you caught us early before we wasted too much time and effort in the wrong place! Paisano® 01:59, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Aviation History

I signed up as part of the WikiProject on Military History in a department of Military Aviation History. I said I could kick off the article History of military aviation with this balloon stuff, and one of the guys on the project said "go for it." But I was not sure how you were supposed to enter the project. I didn't think that it was "HIT THE PAGE." I take it from your remarks that you think the article is acceptable, but I thought maybe there was supposed to be some kind of project panel to review and prepare for a main page article. I never got an answer to that question. So is someone supposed to be able to pick up with the article after me? Magi Media 15:25, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Most importantly, please always sign in when you edit here. These edits look like yours and should have had your name on them. Also links on a talk page never go amiss to help jaded old editors like me know what you are talking about.
I confirm: you are doing the right thing! Others have been talking about action. You have taken some. (There are no formal rules about Wikiprojects - one can make contribs in the area of a given Wikiproject without ever contributing to the "Wikipedia:WikiProject ..." pages.) You have created some incoming links - good.
Nonsense articles get cleaned off Wikipedia within minutes. The fact that yours has gone 24 hours untouched means it is OK and in the right place. I am surprised that no one else has contributed to it yet. Be patient, it will happen! -- RHaworth 18:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Are you aware of this Wikipedia talk:Censorship ?

For myself, I would like to say that the method is not innocent. The subject is truly important : there is one talk page and twoscore people discussing auto censorship for one million (counting non active users). Will you give your advice ? --DLL 20:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Princes Bridge railway station, Melbourne

On October 18, 2005 you added the cleanup tag to Princes Bridge railway station, Melbourne. I just wanted to let you know a fair bit of work has been done to this article, and I would like to remove the cleanup tag, unless you have any objections. I believe that it has been greatly imporoved since you tagged it. If you would like to comment, feel free to reply here, or comment of the talk page. This previously unsigned comment was contributed by me. Blarneytherinosaur 00:42, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion

Regarding the article Wandle Park, which you tagged for speedy deletion with the reason "This article was created in the last 48 hours and all of its revisions are a blatant copyright infringement from the website of a commercial content provider: http://www.croydononline.org/history/places/parks_and_open_spaces/wandlepark.asp, with no assertion of permission. A commercial content provider is someone engaged in directly making money off the content. (CSD A8)", I wanted you to know that I have removed the speedy deletion tag. This article does not qualify for speedy deletion because .org websites are generally not commercial content providers. If you still want the article to be deleted, please use the WP:CP process. Thanks! Stifle 15:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I noticed that you tagged the page Chapter 2 - Bill of Rights for speedy deletion with the reason "empty - and if filled in should be on Wikisource". However, "empty - and if filled in should be on Wikisource" is not currently one of our criteria for speedy deletion, so I have removed the speedy deletion tag. You can use one of our other deletion processes, proposed deletion or articles for deletion if you still want the article to be deleted. Thanks! Stifle 15:49, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Speedy tag and Afore notation

I write to thank you for returning the speedy tag to the article upon its removal by Captain Internet. Even as I don't expect that he/she will demonstrate the subject's notability, I have construed a message appended to the page in his/her untoward second removal of the speedy tag to be a "hangon" request (which message I moved to the talk page) and have consequently tagged the article for "hangon" (I note this only in order that you shouldn't return to the article and think me to have been both the speedy tagger and the hangon tagger). In any case, thanks for your vigilence. Joe 06:17, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.

Thanks for cleaning up my/NathanHP's talk page. I know about archiving but I was looking for another solution. Cheers! — natha(?)nrdotcom (T • C • W) 13:03, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Cottier : asking for brief advice

Sorry to bother you again, but could you please take a brief look at the new version of article Cottier I'm working on (for the moment : mostly trying to tie it up to relevant categories), and see if main direction is basically OK? Many thanks. Elisabeth Cottier Fábián 01:33, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
