Thank you for the feedback

Thanks for the supportI would like to thank you for coming out and participating in my Request for Adminship, which closed unsuccessfully at (48/8/6) based on my withdrawal. I withdrew because in my opinion I need to focus on problems with my content contributions before I can proceed with expanding my responsibilities. Overall I feel that the RfA has improved me as an editor and in turn some articles which in my eyes is successful. Thank you again for your support. Cheers and happy editing.--kelapstick (talk) 18:39, 1 June 2009 (UTC) Shameless thankspamFlyingToaster Barnstar RfC InvitationWithin the past month or so, you appear to have commented on at least one AN/I, RS/N, or BLP/N thread involving the use of the term "Saint Pancake" in the Rachel Corrie article. As of May 24th, 2009, an RfC has been open at Talk:Rachel_Corrie#Request_for_Comments_on_the_inclusion_of_Saint_Pancake for over a week. As editors who have previously commented on at least one aspect of the dispute, your further participation is welcome and encouraged. Jclemens (talk) 23:00, 24 May 2009 (UTC) Thanks!All the ANIs, WQA, CUs, RFC/Us and RFARs are over, I trust. I sincerely thank you for voicing your position on the RFC/U on me. I did not canvass anyone, and in order to avoid any claims that I canvassd, I waited until now (the request to reopen the RFC/U seems dead). Again, many thanks!

I've started a little infernal voting thing to get a clearer view of how people stand and if we've got consensus either way.

Great pyramid merger proposalI notice you have put up merger notices but have not started a discussion. I'd argue that the obvious target if you want to merge The Great Pyramid: Ramp Theories with something is Egyptian pyramid construction techniques. Dougweller (talk) 03:16, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Notability tag on the Nokia E52 article.You can't add a notability tag to an article for an unreleased cell phone. If you have different opinion, discuss on my talk page.Csifan16 (talk) 22:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
I just wrote it so someone doesn't have to after the phone's release(somewhere in September). Universal Systems LanguageYou added an article issues box to this page. Do you have anything specific that you'd like to see changed, or perhaps some suggestions to improve it?
Could you identify the sections you believe contain either of these? USL has been in use for a long time, and this is no more original research than (say) ADA. It would help if you could identify the actual unverifiable claims, if any, so that they may be addressed.
USL is as notable as ADA, or C++ or that matter. What is your basis for claiming lack of notability? Do you have any suggestions for ways to establish that it is, indeed notable, beyond what is already there?
This is a subjective opinion. Do the introductions to articles on ADA, or ARP, or many other technical subjects provide sufficient context? Again, your suggestions on how to add suitable context would be welcome.
This is also rather subjective. Any suggestions you might have to make it less confusing or unclear would be welcome. Of course, this, like most topics of its ilk, are comprehensible only to those who have some related background. Anyone wanting a beginner's tutorial on USL should visit the refrerences. Would you want this article to be such a tutorial? I suspect not. If you'd like to discuss these issues, perhaps we could do so on the USL talk page. Constructive criticism is always welcome and I'm not saying you don't have any valid points. Famiddleton (talk) 14:14, 28 June 2009 (UTC) Duane ClarridgeYou removed a section from the article Duane Clarridge. The section reads "He appeared in John Pilger's 2007 documentary The War on Democracy, denying crimes committed by Augusto Pinochet, the Contras, and others. He also claimed Amnesty International was a source of propaganda." You erased this, claiming it was "unsourced." Perhaps you do not consider giving the name of the film a source.

Why do you want "speedy deletion" of Category:American neoconservativesSeing that the Category:American socialists exist, I decided to create this category, because this issue is under-developed on Wikipedia (and I used the same sub-categories as Category:American socialists uses). It deals with an equally fringy political philosophy, but one that nevertheless has had a profound effect on developments in recent years, not least on the Iraq War, which probably wouldn't have happened, were it not for these particular neoconservatives. Given that the war has cost - according to some estimates 3 trillion dollar, and therefore have contributed significantly to the current poor health of the American economy, it is obvious that this is a category that attracts a lot of attention - and also why some might want to delete it, and just forget all about it, the same way that many neo-conservatives have given up their faith after the Iraq War, which was meant to be the first phase, from where democracy should spread throughout the Middle East. But the people who wants to delete it, should not be allowed to. When we can have a category about american socialists, then of course we can have about neoconservatives - a group which have had a greater impact on America and thus the world, than American socialists have. I realise that there have been discussions about neoconservatives before, but never about American neoconservatives. I can also well understand why a Category called: "American conservatives" doesn't exist, cause they are covered by Category:Republicans (United States). Michelle Bentley (talk) 13:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC) Jay says: (in the stamp he has put on the Category)This page may meet Wikipedia’s criteria for speedy deletion. It was previously deleted via a deletion discussion, is substantially identical to the deleted version, and any changes do not address the reasons for which the material was deleted. This discussion took place some while ago, and the attendants may not have met what I would call ideal criteria, ie. the group that voiced their opinion were not representative of wikipedias editors, but just the people who happened to log in on this occasion. Among them were in all probability people who for political reasons wanted this category deleted. They had perhaps themselves sympatised with the neoconservatives, but starting around 2006 many key neo-cons deserted their previous faith. And by the way: The category in question is not substantially identical to the deleted version. It deals only with American neocons. Since you find reason to propose a deletion,of a Category, which just lists neo-cons (someones who themselves previously have listed themselves as such), it probably means that you are yourself symphatetic to the neoconservative agenda. So it is you who have a problem in meeting Wikipedias objectivety-standards, not I, who just want this field covered, the same way as American socialists are. Can you confirm that you are/used to be a neoconservative, symphatetic to the violent introduction of democracy in The Middle East, with the first phase being Iraq, from where it was supposed to spread? Michelle Bentley (talk) 13:59, 20 July 2009 (UTC) I understand that it was David Wurmsers inclusion in the Category that got you interestedBut then it is just a question of removing his name from the Category, as you allready have done. There should be no reason to delete the Category. I, on my own initiative, did not include John Bolton and Jeanne Kirkpatrick because there is nothing in their articles that say they are neocons, but with all the other names on the list, you will find that the specific articles says that they are indeed neocons. Many sources says that Bolton and Kirkpatrick are as well, but I was not certain, and therefore did not include them. Lets work the normal procedures, and see if anyone proposes it for deletion. Today another audience is present at Wikipedia. And through my participation I can testify that this audience viewed collectively is more mature, informed and keen at enhancing Wikipedia, than the ones that on two previous occasions voiced their opinions -- not on a Category called American neoconservatives, but one called neoconservatives.

Do you know of any Wiki Mathematicians who could look at this? They would of course need to be uninvolved in the sense of not having made major contributions.

NPOVHello Mr. Yang and thank you for your welcome. I will try to keep my own opinions out of articles and rely more on facts. The Super Cool Amazement (talk) 01:36, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
Ray, you better answer. I know you are out there somewhereThe thing is: I have never said to anybody: "Your template should be deleted", "Your wikitable should be deleted" or "The Category that you just created in order to make Wikipedia better should face a speedy deletion". All of it done a few hours after it was made. This is rude. And I firmly believe that what you do towards your fellow human beings come back to haunt you some day. That is why I don't do it myself. Also because I think that every effort to enhance wikipedia done honestly should be welcomed. Michelle Bentley (talk) 16:03, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
What have you been doing. You have reported this Category:American neoconservatives to administrators for deletion two times this week ? I demand an apology.They write in the deletion log: (G4: Recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion). You got to realise that this Category was created for the first time ever on Wikipedia by me on the 20th of July 2009. Never has this particular Category existed before, - not with this name, not with this description, and not with this sub-category: Category:American people by political orientation. Whereas other attempts to categorise neoconservatives have focused on neoconservatives all over the world, this Category focuses on neoconservatives in America, where it all started and therefore is the appropriate place to focus. For the first time ever on Wikipedia, American neoconservatives are subcategorised with people with similar utopian philosophies, such as American socialists, American pacifists, American white nationalists, American monarchists, American libertarians, American fascists, American anti-communists and American anarchists. This is unique. So any previous discussions have no relevance, because they deal with another matter, and anyway had very few participants. What is more, these discussions used as argument, that Category:Conservatives doesn't exist, and so [[:Category:Neoconservatives shouldn't exist. This premise is false, since as any enlightenent individual knows, American conservatives are adequately covered by Category: Republicans (United States). I hope you realise then that your deletion was a mistake, and I expect an apology, before I shortly shall re-create this Category for the third time this week!. An admin is supposed to be constructive and welcoming to all categorisation efforts, not destructive, going about deleting, based on hear-say from others, without him having investigated thoroughly the background for the creation of this Category.
