Capital Punishment in Massachusetts

I think we can wait longer than one minute before tagging for no content, can't we? I thought there was a guideline suggesting at least five minutes, but I couldn't find it, so please take this as just my suggestion.  Glenfarclas  (talk) 21:32, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Okay. The thing at the top of Special:NewPages says moments, so I supposed 1 minute would be okay. Thanks for the heads up, though. Pepper·piggle 22:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, I quadruple-checked and can't find any such guideline, so really just take it as my suggestion. It's just that people may not realize that an article goes live the instant they hit Save Page. Thanks--  Glenfarclas  (talk) 23:11, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of "farah alvin"

A tag has been placed on "farah alvin", requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. PirateArgh!!1! 07:22, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, but I didn't actually create the page - I moved "farah alvin" to Farah Alvin, so the history comes up as I creating the page. Thanks anyway. Pepper·piggle 12:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert on my user page. =) I don't get the meaning behind it, but whatever. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:12, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Hog's Back Road

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Hog's Back Road, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 209.235.156.72 (talk) 00:09, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

I do not think it would classify for Speedy deletion, but you may take it to WP:AFD. Pepper/piggle 00:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
I removed the tag, there is sufficient context to identify the subject. --kelapstick (talk) 00:14, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Thank you. Pepper/piggle 00:15, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Michel Folco

Hello Pepperpiggle. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Michel Folco, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Writing multiple books is an assertion of importance. Thank you. ϢereSpielChequers 19:25, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Reversion of Highway 600 (Ontario)

You may wish to see whats going on rather than blindly revert. I posted messages at WP:CRWP a while ago and let any active members respond (none did), at which point I took it to several editors of Ontario roads.

It has been rolled out on several dozen pages, and as the first person to revert it (without explanation I may add) I'd like to know how you feel about the new infobox. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 15:42, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry about not giving an explanation, I reverted because the template stated that Highway 600 was a King's Highway, and it isn't. I very much like the template, but think it is not appropriate for the page. Pepper∙piggle 21:34, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I see that it is now saying "Secondary Highway." Thanks. Pepper∙piggle 21:35, 24 February 2010 (UTC)
I noticed that myself just after replying. Technically I think they are also King's Highways, but that designation in general has been dropped since the 90's. It's just Provincial Highway X now. If you can switch any of the other secondary highways over to the new template that'd be awesome! Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 21:37, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Warnings

Hi Pepperpiggle. I just deleted two attack pages that you nominated for speedy deletion, but I'd like to remind you to not forget to warn the page creator in the future. Thanks! —DoRD (?) (talk) 00:37, 25 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry

I was about to vote in your RfA, but when I got to it, the Request had been taken off... Dogposter 00:54, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

That's okay, the result wasn't turning out well, so I figured another 6 or so months would be for the best. Pepper∙piggle 10:58, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Warriors

Do you feel that a list of Clan terms is necessary on Warriors (novel series) (such as "Thunderpath", "Twoleg", Leafbare, etc.)? Brambleclawx 00:45, 5 May 2010 (UTC)

I don't think that any more terms are necessary than are already there. I'm pretty sure that twolegs are already mentioned somewhere in there, but the others don't really have extreme significant value in the overall series. I have added a small change to Warriors (novel series). Pepper∙piggle 11:18, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Don't worry, you don't have to inform me of every edit you make on the Warriors page. That's what my watchlist is for. My only concern was that the Clan terms might end up very fancrufty, which is bad, so I've decided to not include a list. Brambleclawx 22:08, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
All right. (But it makes me feel special! ) I agree with you. If anything else needs to be decided, I usually come on Wikipedia once a day. Cheers! Pepper∙piggle 10:53, 6 May 2010 (UTC)

Invitation to join WP:ONRD

About your Admin Coaching request

User talk

Your submission at Admin Coaching has been removed from the request list, as requests where the submitter has not visited the page for at least 6 months (or been inactive for at least 4 months) are removed.

You are welcome to re-submit a request should you wish to, but please note that you are expected to regularly check the page (and to update the "last visited" field of your request) to show your continued interest in the project. If you do re-submit, please carefully re-read the instructions for submission as they may have changed since you last visited!

As noted on the project page, there is an on-going backlog with the project, as so few admins are currently coaching. This means that you may have a long wait for a response (if you receive one at all).

If you no longer require admin coaching, I hope that you continue to enjoy editing Wikipedia!

Assessing the secondary highways

Hey, I've pretty much gone through and assessed all the articles, but I have left the secondary highways. I assume most are stubs since they are pretty hard to reference, but I'm not going to send a bot on it. If you're wandering through the talk pages of any of those articles can you throw up a class and give them "Mid" importance? Cheers, ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 15:31, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Nevermind. After a quick scan through all 110, there is only one that isn't a stub (634). I'll finish 'er off with an AWB run. - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ τ ¢ 19:15, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Per your request you are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time.  7  23:43, 21 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of tallest buildings in Timișoara

I think that's a pretty clearly inappropriate non-admin closure there -- there were three votes for Deletion, and three for Merge/Redirect. There is no way this can be a non-admin closure. There is absolutely no consensus, nor do I have any idea why the final voter considered it valid for a WP:SNOW closure. ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 23:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

The reason I closed that is because the information is still encyclopedic, yet, as everyone who voted thought, it should not have it's article. So I thought it was pretty clear that merging would be fine. I still do agree that the redirect maybe isn't needed, but it is still fine to have the info in the Timișoara article, is it not? In other words, because no one out of 6 wanted to keep, and the information was still fine, even if it didn't need its own article, a redirect and merge seemed perfectly fine. It may have not been the best AFD or anything to do my first non-admin closure on, but it was my opinion and what seemed like the opinion of others. I appreciate your feedback. ∙∙∙Pepper 23:31, 24 September 2010 (UTC)
Appreciate the reply, and apologies if I came across a bit brusque above -- I know you're acting in good faith :). Non-admin closures are very particular, specific things. The best rule of thumb to follow is that if it takes any original thought or opinion on your behalf to act, you probably shouldn't act. You are correct that no voters thought that it should have its own article, but a delete vote is distinct from a merge/redirect vote. NAC's are only appropriate when one outcome is blindingly obvious. In this case, the outcome was anything but. To be honest, I personally agree with your conclusion -- it's a completely harmless merge/redirect -- but you have to be very, very careful when doing an NAC. Hell, one could argue that the best rule of thumb with non-admin closures is: don't do them :). They're generally unnecessary except in the most extreme of cases. Any case where even one lone experienced editor is voicing an opinion counter to your NAC is a case where an NAC is very much inappropriate.

I really don't mean to lecture. I think the outcome of your NAC is actually fine, but an NAC is one area where I think procedure needs to trump other considerations, and this was, procedurally speaking, not a good NAC (in my opinion). But, again, I'm actually more or less fine with the outcome, so it's not something I mean to get all bent out of shape about, hehe. Sorry again if my note above sounded annoyed. I think I overdid that a bit, tonally :). ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 04:49, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

It's fine - and thanks for letting me know your opinion. I guess I will go with your "don't do them" advice, as it's pretty hard to mess up if you aren't doing anything :) Thanks again. ∙∙∙Pepper 11:15, 25 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Olivia Scardullo

Hi! Thanks for nominating Olivia Scardullo for speedy deletion. However, you did use the wrong tag. You tagged it for speedy deletion as a non-notable person, but as the content of the article was defamatory, tagging it as an attack page would have been more appropriate (see WP:CSD#G10). Whilst it still gets deleted if it is tagged incorrectly, articles that are tagged as an attack page are given higher priority and are removed a lot quicker.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! Stephen! Coming... 10:22, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

bolding not always needed

Thanks for your attention to the list of state parks articles. I undid a few of your edits which bolded the list of parks... lead. This isn't necessary, and it is rather common for list articles to not have any bolding. See the MOS:BOLD guidelines for a thorough discussion, especially the part about the format of the first sentence. Again, thanks for all the great cleanup work you've done! —EncMstr (talk) 18:29, 14 November 2010 (UTC)

MOS:BOLDTITLE#Format_of_the_first_sentence this is the specific guideline. I've only used it when rewriting the descriptive title into the first sentence isn't possible at all.

Speedy deletion nomination of Cameron moulene

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Cameron moulene requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Kudpung (talk) 13:54, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
