User talk:Extreme Unction/Archive 2barnstarI put a big green coloured barnstar on your user page for patience in the line of fire so don't think it was vandalized because it is not all that pretty but it fits well.

You write: "Mr. Sidaway is currently in a state of ongoing conflict with the admin who initially speedily deleted the page under consideration." Thanks. I had to go to the deletion log to see who it was you were talking about. It does look a bit like a grudge thing, although in fact the undeletion had nothing to do with the person who deleted the article. It's was just a rather obviously bad speedy made, as far as I was concerned, by a person unknown who had misread CSD A7. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC) The concentration of phoenixes (phoenices?) on this talk page is detrimental to Wikipedia, and must clearly be stopped.

Hi, from EddieSegouraThanks for keeping the page User:EddieSegoura/Exicornt. Don't forget to keep in touch. Eddie 22:05, 13 December 2005 (UTC) removed your AfDI removed your AfD tag at What is SmartWorks ? and replaced with a speedy delete tag- blatant vandalism does not need to go through full AFD procedures (and this particular article has been deleted 4 times already!, this guy is persistant!). Just wanted to let you know. -Lanoitarus (talk) .:. 03:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Eventually, I'm sure there will be a "criticism" section, where the link could be used as a reference. I'll keep looking at it. Jacoplane 00:30, 17 December 2005 (UTC) Thanks for the welcomeHi Extreme Unction, and thanks for welcoming me. Today was my first day on Wilkipedia and I was baffled to see my first article wizzing around the either almost as soon as I finished typing it. I've read all the things that you suggested, but saw more how to advice rather than when two things are one subject advice. I thought that an article about role playing and an article about novels (even if they are based on the same setting) would be two different things. The List of Forgotten Realms novels (which I based my article on) certainly seems to be a separate thing. How do you work this sort of thing out? I'd be interested to know so that I can decide what to do in the future. Big Mac 05:44, 17 December 2005 (UTC) One good turnI just edited your RC Patrol link to point to "RC patrol" to save Wilkipedia having to redirect any clicks from your page.

ThanksThanks for backing me up when I was blocked for nearly (but not actually) breaking the 3RR rule. I think it's been sorted out now. -R. fiend 16:53, 17 December 2005 (UTC)
Relisting AfDsThanks for the reminder. I actually did that the first time I relisted the AfDs on Dec 7, but I saw on other days that you hadn't relisted them (must have been early in your adminship) so I didn't think it was required. User:Johnleemk then contacted me about it and I resumed doing it on Dec 11. As for adminship itself, my stance on it has been if someone wants to nominate me, then I'd be happy to accept, but because I didn't actually need the tools for what I've been doing, I wasn't going to self-nom. Actually, User:Aranda56 has generously offered to nominate me, despite me having voted against him in his last RfA. I suppose I'll accept. :) howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 08:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC) Umm.... what was that? Titoxd(?!? - help us) 03:14, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Closing AfDsI actually replied on my own talk page to your note, but I'll quote myself here since I can't expect you to be looking at my talk page:
If anyone raises any objections in the RfA, I'll just have to chalk it up to being a n00b at closing AfDs. Thanks for the warning. howcheng [ t • c • w • e ] 07:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC) I think he's just expermenting, trying to make the template look better. Unfortunately, the CSS/JavaScript that does the [show]/[hide] button is very fragile. (After your revert, he broke it again with something as small as adding a "*" at the start of a line...) I've put a note on the template talk page explaining the fragility. Please let me know if you think it's too stronly worded - I don't want to bite any newbies (or non-newbies). Jamie (talk/contribs) 12:36, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
RecreationsThanks. Feel free to reword if it's unclear. But the point is correct - if an article is speedily deleted for whatever reason, then recreated, then the admin should make sure that the article-as-it-is-now still fits some other speedy criterion (because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be a substantial recreation). Come to think of it it's probably best to strike this sentence, it's confusing and redundant. Radiant_>|< 14:17, 20 December 2005 (UTC) CSDsThe discussion from which it resulted is at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive4#Some thoughts on the G4 criterion and following sections. The recent so-called decrufting broke several of the CSDs, including this one, as on-the-spot blitzs are prone to. It is insufficient to not mention the speedy aspect of things, since it causes uncertainty on a fairly regular basis implying, as it does, that merely being speedied once is grounds for re-deletion. The sentence reminds admins that it must still be a speedy. It originally read
Which is better, clearer and simpler than the version it has morphed into. (Not to mention agreed to previously.) I'd be quite happy seeing the version above reappear. -Splashtalk 19:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC) In fact, I have just read your message on Radiant's talk page. That is the precise meaning of the sentence: G4 does not apply by itself. If you are speedying an article that has not been AfD's, but has been speedied before it must satisfy some other CSD — G4 does not apply directly. Hence the phrasing of the paragraph above. -Splashtalk 19:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
I like the sound of that. It's cleanly phrased and gets the two key points across. -Splashtalk 13:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC) RfDI don't participate at RfD, and don't feel qualified to comment there. I would caution, strongly, against dumping the text into the page. Transclusion makes it much easier to edit the page, and reduces the agony of an edit conflict on what is often a longish page. -Splashtalk 22:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC) U:EU/RFD/LogI've thought long and hard about what the benefit of logging rfd in an afd style. Perhaps a line-item oriented framing box with no (or minimal) margins/padding would be better. So whenever a redirect is speedily deleted or kept, just box around it on the main page so people will leave it alone. Then when one of the days is all boxed in, cut-n-paste said day to the monthly log page? That would seem easiest to me. It wouldn't preserve easy access to comment authorship, but, hell, that's the way it is with user_talk: page archives. In any case, please don't make three sentences discussing a bad redirect take up an entire screen. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 06:42, Dec. 21, 2005

Yeah I was a bit hasty on that one, and also assumed that "groups" meant "clubs" - obviously it didn't. I've restored it and put it up for AfD. FireFox 14:02, 21 December 2005 (UTC) hi, there is an organized campaign to save the above self-promotional vanity games-club page from deletion.... i'm wondering if you'd be willing to take a look and voice your opinion? normally i wouldnt care but (a) i hate organized campaigns from groups of users (especially when they have vested interests but dont declare them) and (b) when challenged about it, they suggested i try it myself! so here i am.... cheers!

RFD archival...whatever template you're using might be better without the "padding: 0 10px 0 10px;" in it. that's 20 px wasted screenspace between every two entries. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 12:34, Dec. 22, 2005
Re: Lo mai kaiThanks very much. In fact you've pointed out the main issue - it is disputed. User:Alanmak moved it when there was no consensus [1], and user:SchmuckyTheCat made a minor edit and made it impossible to be restored [2]. IMHO it should be undone until consensus is reached. — Instantnood 20:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC) W.marsh's RfAThank you for your support on my RfA. The final outcome was (30/2/0).

Before I start with the year stuff, I just want to get distracted for a section to let you know that you have one of the best usernames I've seen on Wikipedia. Anyway, regarding the de-wikilinking of years in beer (and other places), the Wikipedia style regarding stand-alone years is to not link them, unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic of the article, in this case, beer. Hope that clears things up. Cheers! – ClockworkSoul 16:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
"Useless to reason a man..."By the way, I found the original source of that aphorism on your user page:

Poll on years of birth/deathHi, you may want to participate in the poll at Wikipedia talk: Manual of Style (dates and numbers) # "Should the year of birth/year of death be linked in biographies?" -- User:Docu Speedy-keeping redirectsI'd be a bit leary of speedy-keeping redirects that aren't nominated in obvious bad faith (...which would be pretty hard to identify for a redirect, I'd think). Just tacking on your own "**Keep, redirects which stem from reasonable alternative capitalizations are 100% in accordance with redirect policy. ~~~~" would both forestall any accusations of unilateralism and provide an avenue for change of policy. It is, after all, supposed to be policy that's built out of day-to-day consensus, not vice-versa. (As an aside, thank you for proving my doubts about your readiness for adminship to be so decisively wrong.) —Cryptic (talk) 05:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC) Oh, and what do you think of reversing the order on WP:RFD, so that new requests are placed at the top? It was kept the way it was mostly because Jnc preferred it that way, and he was doing all the work; putting new entries on top emulates CFD, TFD, SFD, and MFD, and also allows {{rfd}} to provide an edit link directly to today's section (like {{mfd}} does). —Cryptic (talk) 05:24, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Just wanted to thank you for the great progress you've made with WP:RFD over the last few weeks and offer my help to help keep Wikipedia clean from bad redirects (though I am not an admin, I'd be happy to do what I can). Again, good work. --Renesis13 01:55, 6 January 2006 (UTC) Unjustified protection of an articleI would like to get an explanation as to why the article Bulgarian vocabulary was blocked by you after User:Peter Isotalo repeatedly moved the content of the article Bulgarian lexis to the new name, Bulgarian vocabulary, without justification and without giving a plausible reason for that. Let's look at the meanings of the two words in the first online dictionary I came upon (it happened to be wordreference [www.wordreference.com ]):
As the article refers to the whole body of words in the Bulgarian language, I would like to ask you: which word refers better to the meaning of the article, vocabulary or lexis? Don't tell me - because the dictionary has already stated it explicitly, it is lexis!!! In view of the above, could I get an explanation as to why, you, in your capacity of administrator, have sided with an editor in order to institutionalise a wrongful edit? I would like to ask you to remove the protection of the article or give me a very reasonable explanation as to why this protection has been effected in the first place and as to why, since it institutionalised a wrongful edit, which wreaks damage to the overall understanding of the article, continues to be in place. I don't think it is proper and adequate of an administrator to side with an user and I will contact other administrators so that measures compliant with Wikipedia policies can be taken against the wrongful steps taken by you and User:Peter Isotalo.

My Bad thereI misinterpreted the current Bounty Source page as a recreation of the currently closed AfD for the article. Looking at it though, good call on reversing me.
