Well, you can re-create deleted articles if you have corrected the issues that led to its deletion and improved the article. See Wikipedia:Recreation of previously deleted articles. But I don't think this article can be re-created like that, since the problem here was notability and that problem has not changed. BTW, the logs show that it has been deleted twice in the past.

No, stragegypage.com isn't reliable. For FLC, a project always goes inactive once in a while. I think the reason for that is the shake up there of The Rambling Man leaving the coordinator post. Anyway, I'll go and look it over.--LAAFansignreview15:51, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
GAH! I a m only a 6th grader in algebra one! (at my school we have different level of math) There are two other 6th graders with me! Isn't it weird how there's a bunch of 8th graders in math 54 while I'm in algebra 1? Also I got put into the highest level of speeling! I HAVE TO SPELL really hard words with 5 other 6th graders, and a bunch of other 7th graders and 8th graders! Being smart isn't all good!Spittlespat!ǀT ♦ C ♦ S19:38, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
Yah, but I didn't create it...just popularized its use. :D :D :DTM
And I'm dealing with it...but how could you possibly "Huggle self" if you haven't even figured out how to cut-and-paste the code onto your huggle.css? *audience oo's, aah's* —LaPianista(T•C•S)00:36, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Fine then. :D :D :D :DTM
I couldn't cut-and-paste the code into my TWINKLE page, thank you. =p *Audience nods in agreement with Ed, and wonders how Pianista could have made such a simple error.* —Ed 17for PresidentVote for Ed01:03, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
No worries. If you need a follow-up review, just leave a note on my talkpage, I am always open to reviewing. I have archived the review for you. Regards. Woody (talk) 23:34, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
If you mean taking an oath, we don't usually do that. If you mean Profanity, well it's not strictly forbidden by being a Buddhist. We are supposed to choose what is correct and live by that. There are no 'rules' that we 'must' follow. I won't say I never swear, though I know it's not 'correct'. But er... why did you ask that? Chamaltalkwork11:40, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Hmm... I will give you one (or several) sometime, but not right now. Let's see how you go about editing Wikipedia first. After all, there should be a reason to give you a barnstar. Whenever I spot that reason, you will get it :) Chamaltalkwork11:43, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
You've been a great friend, and Rebel Queen Pokeynut salutes you. I hope you continue the pokeynut legacy here at Wikipedia, whilst I establish it at blogger.com.

What?!?! Don't leave!!! I suppose the recent block has made you lose interest here, but are you sure you want to leave? Please reconsider this. I'm really sorry, and surprised to hear you're leaving. Chamaltalkwork13:24, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Lady R, I was blocked too once upon a time...and it was basically for "myspacing" it up... Don't take it to heart! Take a look through my talk page and my contribs; as you can see, I combine the encyclopedia with fun too... It's not that hard, really, once you get used to actually working on the 'pedia. :) Please come back! —Ed 17for PresidentVote for Ed13:33, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I was trying to find a user who has faced the same problem, and here's the ideal example. Ed is now a well trusted and respected editor, and who cares why the hell he was blocked or even if he was blocked at all? You have excellent writing skills. With some experience, you can become one of Wikipedia's best editors - something that I can't even dream of becoming right now. Once again, I'm asking you to reconsider your decision to leave. Chamaltalkwork13:44, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
...and if you leave anyway, I dearly hope that you decide to come back...as (someone, I forget who) says, "Time heals all wounds". Remember that you will always have friends here, and come back to visit anytime... though I hope that you just stay after all of these emotional pleas we've made... :) —Ed 17for PresidentVote for Ed14:31, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Take a chill pill, guys, I've reconsidered leaving. I'm STAYING, and if you wanna prove you're one of my friends there are a list of tasks that I would really appreciate some help on (you get a BARNSTAR for each one) on my new userpage. You know, now that everything got deleted, I kinda need some help rebuilding. HJH LADY RENEGADE.
But, as Ed said, it really isn't much. We probably won't resume our "episodes" for a month or two - get some serious editing in between, you know? —LaPianista(T•C•S)03:23, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I wouldn't term you a "prodigy" per say....quick, witty comebacks don't make you a prodigy...
Heh... now I see :D Hmm... but I really don't have time for this kind of thing now. I've got this frikin' monster coming at me, so I have to worry about that. I'm actually trying to reduce the time I spend editing Wikipedia, but that's not going to happen. (Stop editing and do my homework? Yeah right!!) Chamaltalkwork15:15, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
I think I technically should be giving you the MOTD Barnstar, but I don't like the picture for the MOTD barnstar, so have this one instead. Seriously, you make excellent and timely comments there and add a great deal to the discussion. Keep it up! Nutiketaiel (talk) 12:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I noticed you just reverted a series of POV edits an anonymous IP made to the Press TV article. Thought you'd like to know that the IP reverted your page restoration. On the article's talk page, he also left a gratuitous link to some blog post (dated October 17th, 2008) titled "Press TV: Trying to Hide Wikipedia Holocaust Denial Allegations" where the blog's author essentially encourages his readers to revert the changes. This would explain the recent spate of POV edits to the article today. I would revert these changes if I could, but I'm already at three reversions, so I can't do anything about it for now. Could you please intervene? Causteau (talk) 12:48, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Well, unlike the edit that I reverted which was clearly POV, this one is backed with several references and is written in a more or less neutral manner. However, I'm not sure of this is relevant to the article or not, or if it should be included. Since I have no knowledge on the subject of the article, I won't revert that edit, which is not a clear case of vandalism. I think you should ask from someone who knows more about this. Cheers, and sorry I couldn't help you there. Chamaltalkwork13:06, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
The references are bogus. The Press TV article over the past few days has been targeted by a series of IPs and newly-created single-purpose accounts (e.g. 1, 2, 3) who have been attempting to insert (e.g. 1, 2, 3) the same rather lengthy bit of original research into the Press TV article. Besides myself, two other editors (1, 2) as well as an administrator have also taken notice of this. In addition, one of the single-purpose accounts has been blocked for evading WP:3RR through the creation of multiple accounts. I and others have fully analyzed, explained and discussed the situation over at the Press TV article's talk page. This latest link to a blog post that was left by this other IP -- a post titled "Press TV: Trying to Hide Wikipedia Holocaust Denial Allegations", which quite literally encourages its readers to modify Wikipedia's Press TV article to his liking; he even included the Wiki code to use! -- is just the latest in a long line of problems, especially when one considers the fact that the blog's author, one David T./David Toube, is by his own admission (viz. "Indeed, I wrote an opinion piece on it, which was published in The JC.") the author of one of the sources (an opinion piece) that these IPs and single-purpose accounts have consistently been attempting to insert into the text. Also note that the Press TV article has a history of being targeted by confirmed sockpuppets, which makes the present editorializing by a series of anonymous IPs and single purpose accounts -- all of which have been created within the past few days -- all the more troubling. Causteau (talk) 13:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Whoah! That looks serious. The edits have already been reverted by another user. I've requested protection for the page at WP:RPP. If the page is semi-protected, that should control this situation considerably. Chamaltalkwork13:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, it worked flawlessly for me yesterday. 0.8.1 kept driving me nuts, it was very slow for me. The good news is most of the hugglers who stopped temporarily because of the bugs in 0.8.1 can get back on the job. Chamaltalkwork02:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
BMP-1 article
Hello!
Sorry, but I decided to leave Wikipedia a month ago because I have a lot of work in my office, also it is quite time-consuming to revert the different articles after wrong and incorrect information or vandalism again and again. To find and translate the 100% reliable information for Wiki is also a long process. I just don't have time for this.
But I wish you good luck with your attempts to improve the article.
Well, I'm no expert either. The BMP-1 article is in a very bad state right now, but with the available information I thought it could be improved a lot. Still haven't got around to it though, I've been too busy. too busy... now where have I heard that before? I'm getting tired of those words. But thanks, both of you. I'll get round to it sometime. Chamaltalkwork02:42, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks & Rollback Followup
Thanks for the award! It's an honor. I got rollback a few hours ago. I think I left an impression, what do you think? Can we be Anti-Vandalism partners? :-) Knippschild (talk) 10:56, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
(un-indent) Hey, hey, hey.... only three used in this page so far. It's wrong to interpret that as a love for smileys. A smiley was intended to be placed here, but was removed due to *cough* unavoidable cicumstances. Chamaltalkwork15:29, 20 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey, come on now...this isn't your talk page. Be nice to poor Chamal...the sheer size of those smilies might blow his brain to smithereens. =D Just kidding, Chamal! —Ed 17for PresidentVote for Ed13:50, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Whoah!!! I hadn't even noticed those smileys until now. Smileys should be nice and small :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D LOLZZZ.... urhh I'm too tired to edit now. I'm going to bed. Chamaltalk14:07, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I was actually thinking of creating articles for the more notable kings (eg: Mahasen). But the problem is that it's hard to find reliable sources on these topics. Online sources are very few, so most of the information have to be cited with books. I'm not an expert with history either (never did like the subject that much) so I don't have enough knowledge to write articles on most of the monarchs. Because of my lack of knowledge, I couldn't do much with the Kashyapa I and Dhatusena articles either - just sort of touched the facts, didn't go in depth. Chamaltalk12:43, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
No problem, and thanks again for informing me. I guess I should try to contribute more to the discussion there. I'll try when I find some extra time :) Chamaltalk13:03, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Chamal N! Thank you very much for your support in my RfA, which passed yesterday. I hope not to let you and the others down, and use the tools for the benefit of the project. Cheers, Ynhockey(Talk)22:20, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Noob? Nooooo. Not anymore! :P If you need help c/e'ing an article, I can help...it's been awhile, but I can still spin brilliant prose together even if it is outside of military-related topics! :D :D :D :D —Ed 17for PresidentVote for Ed14:34, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I know about your brilliance ;) I started working on the Sigiriya article recently, and was thinking of asking you for a copy edit after I finished adding some information. But since I'm busy now, it'll have to wait :) Chamaltalk14:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello Chamal N, thanks for signing my GuestBook with a torquise/blue signature. How the flipping flip do you DO that??? Please tell me, I'm dying to know! Reply on my talk page, because I've forgotten to add you to my Watchlist. I'm on Wikipedia from now until around 9 tonignt (assuming you go by GMT.) See ya! TopGearFreak (talk) 13:41, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks a bunch. I want my signature to be blue, say TopGearFreak like it always does, and for the 'Talk' bit to be smaller than the 'TopGearFreak' and to be sort of floating. That's the best I can describe it, I think I saw your 'Talk' like that. Thanks again, TopGearFreak (talk) 14:32, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Just making sure that the 'TopGearFreak' bit is blue, as it turns up purple for me because I have selected it before and anything I select turns purple. Sorry, another thing; Could you possibly make the 'talk' bit light blue? I'm so sorry for all the trouble I'm giving you TopGearFreak (talk) 14:55, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks...
The Special Barnstar
[F]or being such a great friend. Especially in my current real-life position, all your help and support has really moved me, this is just for all the laughs you have ever given me on top of everything else too. I have left a message on my talk page, and hope you'll take the time to read it. Once again, thanks. Blooded Edge (T•C•A)15:23, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you SO much for your help in changing my signature. You are definitely the most helpful Wikipedian I've ever met, and will definitely come to you again if I ever have a question. Give yourself a pat on the back! Ready to see my new signature? Drumroll, please - da da da da da da da!!! TopGearFreakTalk16:02, 31 October 2008 (UTC)
As much as I am for keeping user pages of even the most mildly active users, no matter how self-promotional, the key fact that appears to have been missed is that this editor has precisely one (1) edit to his credit, that edit was to create the self-promotional user page, and it was created on 31 October 2007. So that nomination came exactly one year and ten minutes after it was created. I'm not clear on the review process for MfD but it might be worth revisiting this decision. - Dravecky (talk) 14:32, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
