barnstarThank you sir, I am honored. = ∫tc 5th Eye 13:17, 3 March 2008 (UTC) AlbaniaI am referring to the medieval principality of Albania. It was conquered by Turks in the 15th century and liberated in 1912. See List of Albanian monarchs.--Getoar (talk) 18:37, 3 March 2008 (UTC) Signpost updated for March 3rd, 2008.

Mdsummermsw (talk) 17:00, 11 March 2008 (UTC) PogácsaYeah, I tried the second move, but the temporary move apparently didn't erase the existence of the the article I was trying to, so I was unable to move the intended page. Thanks for the link. — Emiellaiendiay 05:33, 17 March 2008 (UTC) Thanksfor the work on the locations. --Hukok (talk) 14:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
Duff pageIt appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. No, that's not what happened. I created a page from scratch, then discovered somebody else had created a page based on only one of the sources I'd used, with an incorrect name (which is why I hadn't come across it). I'm sorry if I handled it wrong, but at least now you know what went on. Thanks for trying to improve my Wikipedia knowledge.

Ralbot (talk) 06:56, 26 March 2008 (UTC) Re: Zachary JaydonI have been working with a couple of admins, on getting this article up and running. I have had them help me with citing, etc. and have satisfied the previous admins requests, by citing independent, reliable sources that he is a notable songwriter, as well as adding other additional relevant information on the subject. I am objecting to the speedy deletion, but am not sure how to go about that. Can you help? Thank you Skyler Morgan (talk) 18:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Toddst1 (talk) 01:31, 1 April 2008 (UTC) Prod deletion (Holger)Hi, the prod was deleted because user DGG thought my reasons for proding were wrong. So, the reasons have been made very clear now and so far I haven't heard from him. I really don't think that it needs to go to AfD unless you are the one contesting and have A) the citations from verifiable sources and B) reasons as to why you believe this engineer is notable. WP has strict rules to accept articles on living persons, so I am sure I don't need to re-direct you to our policies. Have a great day. Jrod2 (talk) 15:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

HiFurther to our conversation in Feb, I'm considering nominating you for adminship. While I can see plenty of good stuff in your contribs, including AIV work and speedy tagging, after wading through many screens of your contribs, I can't see much in the way of AfD participation. Have you done much of this? Are you still interested in adminship? I think you'd be a fine addition to our ranks. I still think your lack of article-writing will attract opposition, but not insurmountably if you otherwise stack up as trustworthy. --Dweller (talk) 16:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
Actually, not being very opinionated will hold you in good stead, as admins should just be closing according to consensus, rather than their own opinions. Just bear in mind the deletion policy etc and you'll be fine. The main point is just to show familiarity with the processes, more than devastating Rumpole-like argumentativeness. --Dweller (talk) 15:04, 8 April 2008 (UTC) How's it now since you flagged it?--Smkolins (talk) 02:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Schools A7A school is an organization, and saying X is a middle school does not assert notability. If you'd like me to restore it and send it to Afd, I'll do that, but it is pure procedure over efficiency. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:05, 25 April 2008 (UTC) There is of course WP:IAR, but middle schools are such that even most pissy schoolies realize that oneliners that say "I am here" basically aren't keepers. Horton hears no whos here. :-) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 17:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC) Plausible typoI'm afraid I don't get it with all the redirects that I see being created. If Funmi Lyanda is a plausible typo of Funmi Iyanda why is there no redirect from lan Player to Ian Player or from lams to Iams (or at least a disambiguation mention)? Also, the Wikipedia search engine is clever enough to capitalise where appropriate so that the correct page is loaded even when the capitalisation is incorrect. For example, do a search for "ian player" and the page for "Ian Player" is still loaded without resorting to a redirect. Why then do we need redirect pages like IAMS and M&m? Sorry to be difficult, but I just don't see the need? Regards LittleOldMe (talk) 15:35, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
James HortonThank you so much for fixing this mess, I'm in the middle of an FLC and I don't think I could have handled that, too. Keep up the good work and have a nice day. Rosenknospe (talk) 16:18, 26 April 2008 (UTC) Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently copied the contents of a page and pasted it into another with a different name. Specifically, you copied the contents of James Horton and pasted it into James Horton (actor). This is what we call a "cut and paste move", and it is very undesirable because it splits the article's history, which is needed for attribution and is helpful in many other ways. The mechanism we use for renaming an article is to move it to a new name which both preserves the page's history and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. In most cases, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. If there is an article that you cannot move yourself by this process, follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Requested moves to request the move by another. Also, if there are any other articles that you copied and pasted, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. --Closedmouth (talk) 16:07, 26 April 2008 (UTC)
Seems Twinkle didn't sign for you. You might want to check up on that.

My main reason for not doing so is to avoid being targeted by trolls. Since I make anonymous edits, I make an extra effort not to do things that are difficult to reverse. I rarely go back to anonymous edits, since I'm interested in a constructive process, not in a dispute. If an editor edits in "bad faith", I generally chose not to confront them. I'm a professional editor, and my experience is that people dismissing reasonable comment are often more interested in argument than in improvement. 67.180.48.201 (talk) 08:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC) Deletion of SpellBinder (RPG game)I don't see why this should be deleted, just because the game doesn't have notable citations. Should I get rid of them completely? The main website, btw, is back up. Having the game on Wiki may (somehow XD) increase its popularity, thus, over time, could increase the amount of websites dedicated to it. I can understand that you wish to keep Wiki clean. If the citations on my page aren't notable enough, will getting rid of them be a better option? DagothNereviar (talk) 08:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC) (not sure how to reply xD so hope this is right tbh xD) There are many Wiki articles that don't have references/"third-party publications". Just because something isn't widely known doesn't mean it's not information. I can understand why having some would help the case, but the game isn't that popular (yet). Having a wikipedia page would help, which like I said above, in time may help there be third-party publications. The game does it exist, it's not a fake thing, there are forums (of course I imagine I can't link to forums for citations xD) with it on. DagothNereviar (talk) 12:37, 3 May 2008 (UTC) I see. Would the "notability" tag be appropiate until I can get more notable citations? Also, what game websites (Not websites about a certain game, but websites for a wide range of games) are considered as notable? Or any websites, for that matter, which would be classed as notable? I'm still unsure as to how someone else saying basically the same thing on their website makes the article more "suitable" for wikipedia.

Reasons for the prod was added onto the talk page, so I restored the prod...I didn't see anyone actually contesting it. If you disagree, feel free to nuke it again, I was just letting you know. Oh, and it's nice to see someone else working the WP:PRODSUM list for re-added prods...do you get a lot of confused people on your talk page too? :) --UsaSatsui (talk) 08:22, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Ralbot (talk) 06:26, 10 May 2008 (UTC) Thanks for notifying me!!!Yeah I kind of already know about the page. Honestly I was trying to make it so the page would redirect you to Banjo-Kazooie 3, but I had no idea of what I was doing. I will report to the admin that me the author wants it to be deleted too!!!Oh by the way how do you create a page that goes to a different page by redirection.--Anfish (talk) 11:25, 11 May 2008 (UTC) Guess what?. . .The page is deleted!!!! Now the only thing I need to do now is figure out how to make the redirect!!!--Anfish (talk) 12:53, 11 May 2008 (UTC) No I didn't make it up. It was a name that was going to be used for the 3rd Banjo-Kazooie game. A lot of people think this is still the title but it is actually Banjo-Kazooie 3. So I was trying to make it so when somebody searched "Thranjo-Kazooie" it would go to the real title. Oh by the way I finally figured out how to get it to be a redirect to Banjo-Kazooie 3. Go search it now!!! It will take you directly to Banjo-Kazooie 3. And yes it is a page again-sorta.--Anfish (talk) 13:26, 11 May 2008 (UTC) Crossed out warnings at User talk:HatexyouHi, I totally agree the user above should not have been warned about removing PROD warnings from pages he was creating. I would point out however that he only received two warnings for that from Xp54321 and CanadianLinuxUser. The rest of the text you crossed out was from XLinkBot and for an unrelated issue regarding adding links to altervista to articles. -- Roleplayer (talk) 15:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC) You tagged Sandra Caron for speedy deletion for having been created by a banned user. But I don't see any evidence that User:Coolest Kid 10 was banned as of the time he created that article. He was blocked for a week on May 3, and that block expired May 10.

I'm new to this process, and thus was wondering where I can go to see the reason whoever contested the deletion did so, or find out who contested the deletion-or does the fact a IP user removed the template count as contesting?

Keyword: "for any reason". The prod was removed for "no reason". Moreover, single edit by this account shows "vandalism" and I reverted as "vandalism". Friendly, Magioladitis (talk) 13:28, 30 May 2008 (UTC) Hi again. I sent it for AfD but because you are contesting the prod for a reason. (I take it as "I believe at least one editor disagrees with deletion") Why do you believe that the user just disagrees and it wasn't a vandalism? Since there is no edit summary we can't conclude that. I think it was a vandalism but I didn't give it a warning because I keep 5% of uncertainty. A reason would be "I don't' think so" or "I like this article" but no summary and no other edits in general? Let's see if this user will at least give a reason for keeping it in the Afd page. I'll leave him message in his talk page. Friendly,- Magioladitis (talk) 13:42, 30 May 2008 (UTC) I guess now the user received a message asking him to participate in the Afd discussion we may find out soon what was the reason that he removed the template. Check Wikipedia talk:Proposed deletion there is a discussion about the same subject we are discussing! -- Magioladitis (talk) 13:57, 30 May 2008 (UTC) |
