User:James1011R/Forge[edit]

Fails WP:UP#GAMES plain and simple, Improper use of userspace. Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC) 20:12, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am adding several other pages to this nom as they are connected to the original page. Will add MfD template to new pages. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:14, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What about listing User:James1011R/Reverse Expansive Grid Word Association, Wikipedia:Department of Fun/Word Association/Hardcore Ultra and Wikipedia:Department of Fun/Word Association/Expansive Grid at the top of this page? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 20:30, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Since the latter two are in Wikipedia space, that would have to go through ANI...or something. I am not getting into that mess on Turkey Day. The former, I have added to the list and added a template. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:48, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

From a behavior standpoint, the above IP appears to be a sock of User:James1011R. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 20:54, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, I am not a sockpuppet. I say this statement in sincerity. 71.146.20.62 (talk) 20:59, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The user suggested at WP:VP/T#Percentage Color that he may have a non-game use for the color templates. Also, please noinclude the mfd template when used on templates. You've categorized WP:VP/T into the MfD category! --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 23:01, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fixed. --Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 23:08, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry for the slow reply, it was Turkey time. :) Thanks for the fix, my mistake. Never done a MfD where I have had to manually add the templates before. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 23:32, 24 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why not just add WP:Sandbox while you're at it? James1011R (talk, contribs) - Visit The Forge 01:10, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Because you didn't create that page and that page isn't against any rules. Also, it's in Wikipedia space, meaning it was given a once-over before ever being allowed to be there. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 06:24, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If User:James1011R/sandbox was here we would not be talking about a deletion. Even a whole complex of transcluded templates in sandbox style is not a problem. But it is the way the pages are used, inviting others to play games on them that is problematic. A general purpose colouring template may be useful outside of games, so James1011R is welcome to think of such uses and use it that way. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 10:10, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The User:James1011R/Sandbox exists but is now a redirect to the Forge. James1011R (talk, contribs) - Visit The Forge 22:44, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Please just tell me how I can "improve" my forge so you guys don't try to delete it even though it is in the WP:DOF. James1011R (talk, contribs) - Visit The Forge 22:06, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Response: You can't, it fails WP:UP#GAMES. Can't be fixed in any way when it fails a rule. It fails, it's gone. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:08, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Oppose. This MfD has absolutely no constructive value whatsoever. AND you're trying to delete my Percentage Color templates? Seriously, that fails per WP:BITE. Also, the game room was nuked to preserve the forge. James1011R (talk, contribs) - Visit The Forge 22:17, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It has a constructive value when it is to get your rule violating page deleted. Also, you have been here since 2009, so BITE is not in effect for you anymore. Oh and nothing can "preserve" something that is against the rules. - Neutralhomer • Talk • 22:28, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Why is the idea of a sandbox V2.0 bad? If yes for no reason, you can at least preserve the percentage color templates. I tried moving them (to User:James1011R/Templates) myself but can't seem to do it with redirect suppressed. James1011R (talk, contribs) - Visit The Forge 22:35, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

To make these pages acceptable, they must not be games or for fun, but have some use for building Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 01:20, 26 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
