Someone who calls themselves "Ministry of Forbidden Knowledge" complaining about censorship from Wikipedia editors who "are almost certainly agents of one government or another". They were trying to solicit votes at the AfD for psychotronic weapons, which could explain all the strange new accounts that showed up there. - LuckyLouie (talk) 00:01, 9 May 2013 (UTC)
Re: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/New-adult fiction and SPA tagsYeah, understand the first bit. On the second bit - I couldn't care less and the hysterical vote-spam does more damage to their cause than they seem to realise. Canvassing the Article Rescue Squad to secure more vote-spam says it all. I'm done and I've said so. Enjoy your trip! Stalwart111 11:19, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
ThanksThanks for reverting my edit. I started using Dictionary of Numbers bookmarklet and it was screwing up each edit I made. Sorry for the trouble. Chris Troutman (talk) 20:53, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
Your comment on Seralini Affair deletion nominationYou wrote, "Nom is a SPA on a WP:SOAPBOX." What is a "SPA"? Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 19:45, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBotWe are currently running a study on the effects of adding additional information to SuggestBot's suggestions. Participation in the study is voluntary. Should you wish to not participate in the study, or have questions or concerns, you can find contact information on the SuggestBot study page. IMPORTANT CHANGES: We have modified the selection of articles SuggestBot suggests and altered the design to incorporate more information about the articles, as described in this explanation. Note: All columns in this table are sortable, allowing you to rearrange the table so the articles most interesting to you are shown at the top. All images have mouse-over popups with more information. Changes to SuggestBot's suggestionsWe have changed the number of suggested articles and which categories they are selected from. The number of stubs has been greatly reduced, the number of articles needing sources doubled, and two new categories added (orphans and unencyclopaedic articles). We have also modified the layout of the suggestions and added sortable columns with various types of information about each article. The first two columns are:
The method we use to predict article quality also allows us to assess whether an article might need specific types of work in order to improve its quality. The work needed might not correspond to cleanup tags added to the article, since our method is not based on those. We have added five columns reflecting this work assessment, where a red X indicates improvement is needed. Placing your cursor over an X should give you a pop-up with a short description of the work needed. The five columns seek to answer the following five questions:

Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion Reasons for deletion include:
You could either argue more strongly on the next article you Prod eg quoting the guideline, or go AfD. GraemeLeggett (talk) 13:23, 14 June 2013 (UTC)
SPI SignatureThe one thing I never want to forget to do here is sign a comment. Thanks for the heads up! Taroaldo ✉ 07:56, 16 June 2013 (UTC) Can you have a look at how the article is being refactored? Thanks. --Cyclopiatalk 17:15, 16 June 2013 (UTC)
Conceptual answer about AfD NACsHi mate! Sorry I didn't get to respond in time to be useful, but that's actually part of my answer. I tend to NAC plenty of things because I'm Australian which means I edit in a timezone completely different to most of the Americans and Brits that make up the vast majority of editors. It means I'm often looking at the log when nobody else is (or, at least, when very few other people confident with NACs are). As a general rule, I don't NAC anything I've "participated" in, in any way. But occasionally I'll go through the log and format people's comments for ease-of-reading or clarity or because they've accidentally mis-formatted something or because there are templates missing and that generally wouldn't stop me from later NAC'ing. Yours would probably be borderline for me because you appear in the discussion but for something procedural. Had it been me, I probably would have waited for someone else, like you did. But I know plenty of non-admins would have just closed it. Stalwart111 22:26, 16 June 2013 (UTC) About deletionThank for the help...If I were to add the following sentence to my comments: "The main source of information on the internet for this firearm seems to be Wikipedia itself or a Wiki mirror." Would that be acceptable? RAF910 (talk) 17:49, 25 June 2013 (UTC) Again, Thank you.

I hope this addresses some of your worries and would you mind having another look. No worries if you are busy and best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 01:38, 27 June 2013 (UTC)) |
