The Meaning Of Love (album)Can you please drop a {{db-author}} tag on the page you created for The Meaning Of Love (album)? Or, if you do mean to write an article, can you please move it to The Meaning of Love (album) per WP:ALBUMS? Thanks, Closenplay 15:54, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
protectionYou said here that you would protect the Knin page here [1] because a user and his numerous IP numbers are bent on pushing his extreme POV, but the page is still not protected. Is there a reason for that? Thanks. --Jesuislafete 17:20, 18 May 2007 (UTC) Thank youThanks for the feedback on WP:AN. It is sincerely appreciated. Vassyana 11:02, 21 May 2007 (UTC) Offensive username?Do you even know what the word squaw means? Judging by what I see here, I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't. You managed to put in 60 userboxes there without any impressive results. You are obviously a teenager--I would guess ca. 13 years old. That must explain why you didn't know how to undo your autoblock. I can't edit using my static IP address now--at least until the autoblock expires. When I was your age, we would say a lot worse things than squaw to each other without breaking down in tears like you have. Quit crying and get a girlfriend. Then get off your ass and learn something, so you can put it on your subpage. You're nobody.--SQUAW 57 05:33, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

User:UBX/SuicideI have a concern regarding the closure of the suicide userbox. Is there a specific policy basis that supports the deletion? It seems that there was a diversity of opinion in the deletion review that (to me) suggests the lack of clear consensus regarding the deletion. I'm open to your views on it, but I was hoping you'd be willing to reconsider the closure and allow more community input on this deletion. --Ssbohio 20:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
thanksthanks for protecting Middle Ages. I was getting sick of the vandalism Jru Gordon 06:38, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
Request for Page ProtectionYou recently declined a request for page protection of mine without giving any valid reason. Could you please provide one? I've since had to revert even more IP vandalism. --CA387 15:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

UnblockHi. Just letting you know, I've unblocked User:Akhil123456789 as an improper username block. I don't believe this username falls under the scope of "usernames that consist of a lengthy or apparently random sequence of characters", nor of "usernames that are extremely lengthy". As blocks are a very sensitive issue, please submit a WP:RFCN entry next time you come across a non-blatant infringement of the username policy. Thanks. Michaelas10 13:06, 24 May 2007 (UTC)

Image:Schickele pe.jpgIt's unacceptable that you deleted Image:Schickele pe.jpg without any discussion. The discussion page for that image shows up as a redlink. This is very, very bad WP practice. Badagnani 06:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC) I was very clear. We must always have transparency. The way you did it there was (and remains) none. This continued practice of deletion without discussion (the discussion page for that image remains a redlink) does not engender trust and does not signify good faith on the part of the deleter. Badagnani 06:38, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
Your protection of Prem RawatA request for mediation on Prem Rawat has been filed and agreed by the parties. I have the impression that disputes on this subjects will always re-surface and that mediation only will help a little bit. Andries 18:19, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
RelistingPerhaps it's not all that useful to relist pages on AFD that have been relisted once already? >Radiant< 09:09, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Well done...... for being the brave admin to close that [2] bloody awful AfD and with a nice summary. I've been waiting for that mess to be over. Btw, on the issue above - I always look for the oldest/sparsest AfD debates to add my opinion on - thereby hopefully helping stuck debates to reach consensus. I've noticed other editors who do the same. So, from my point of view re-listing a second or even third time just puts the AfD more firmly on the radar and attracts more opinions - I think it is a very helpful thing to do. See you 'round the 'pedia. Cheers, Paxse 10:34, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Minor editsHi Sr13. I have a small note. You check the minor edit box for almost all edits you make, and from what I saw many of those edits are not minor. Well, that kind of defeats the purpose of the minor edit button and is a bit misleading. Would you consider marking as minor only the edits which are minor indeed? Thanks. You can reply here. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 04:01, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Co-nomHey mate, I just realized then that you had co-nominated me! I am truly greatful for your kind words and your nomination/support. If I fail this RfA, I will have gained a friend. Cheers! Dfrg.msc 08:01, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
WikiProject Golf Newsletter
MagicISOSorry I listed MagicISO for review so quickly. I should have come to you first. In any event, you deleted it, apparently based on the AfD from May 27th, which was a speedy for spam. The article was subsequently recreated in substantially different form and the article you deleted conformed to WP:SPAM. Please undelete it. 76.21.33.66 16:42, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
The Office songs AFDYou closed the AFD for List of songs featured on The Office (US TV series) on May 29th but the article is still up. Can you take care of the deletion? Otto4711 16:36, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
The Artemis Fowl WikiProjectHi. In the last month I have discovered the Artemis Fowl WikiProject and have slowly but surely been making progress. I have, however, noticed that no one else seems to be doing anything. So, it's as simple as this. Respond to this message, or your name gets removed from the participants list and I assume leadership of the WikiProject, because I will actually get something done. You have exactly 1 week, or 7 days, or 168 hours. They all mean the same thing. However, please know that this is nothing personal against you. This is a generic message sent to every person on the participants list. Thanks for your co-operation. -007bond aka Matthew G aka codingmasters 10:50, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
Re: QuestionOver a month ago, you marked the article Wireless Zero Configuration as a copyvio of this. It doesn't appear to be so, and now the article has been noted at deletion review. Can you explain? Sr13 20:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
DeletionsHello Sr13 :-) Please remember when deleting articles after they have been listed at AfD to include a link to the debate in the reason for deletion, it makes it easier for other users to see the debate — should this be necessary, thanks and happy editing! The Sunshine Man 18:43, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sr13- The Debate on the deletion of Pascal DeMaria was hardly a debate! I wrote that a google search resulted in this man's notability yet you still took the page off...why? I was in the middle of collecting citations when I was no longer able to editi the page. I'm not sure if its possible to re-publish the page, but as a member of the general public, I believe the information benefitted someone, and all that was needed were citations which I would be glad to put up there. Please reconsider.
You closed the above article as a no consensus. My review of the discussion showed that there was a clear consensus to keep the articles in question, by a strong 2-1 margin. This article had already faced an earlier Afd, initiated less than three weeks before this current AfD. If the AfD for this article is appropriately marked as Keep in accord with the majority view, the articles will be protected by the terms of WP:CONSENSUS. There is every reason to believe that a third (and fourth, and fifth...) attempt will be made to delete this article given its closure as a no consensus, and is probably just a few weeks away. I strongly suggest that you revisit the AfD, review the clear consensus established, and change the AfD result to Keep in accordance with the overwhelming majority preference.

Gracenotes storyTwo things - first, that the full answer from Gracenotes should probably be included, and second- when Gracenotes' RFA is closed, I assume you'll update the story? Otherwise, it's great. Ral315 » 04:14, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Blood atonement protectionHi, Sr13. I notice you've just fulfilled the request for page protection on Blood atonement. A few hours ago, there was an edit war of sorts in progress at that article. However, I believe the situation has now been defused somewhat (see the talk page) - I initiated discussion there as an uninvolved party with the hope that protection could be staved off and the parties seem now to be making the beginnings of constructive progress towards an NPOV article. I would therefore respectfully ask that you consider reducing the duration of or removing entirely the full protection from this article so as to allow this progress to continue. I will be watching the article closely and will call a halt to any re-escalation should it occur. Best regards, --YFB ¿ 06:04, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Barbie protectionI protected before I saw your note. If you feel protection is excessive, please feel free to undo it. Cheers, Riana â 09:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AntioneIn the preceding Afd, which you closed as delete all, the article Proctologist Nefarious, a member of the Afd, was never deleted. I don't know if it was an oversight, or if there's some kind of more complicated history behind it (I checked deletion review, and I can't imagine that article being undeleted anyhow). Deranged bulbasaur 19:33, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
Hi Sr13. I've recreated Toi_(name), an article you speedied a few days ago. An experienced editor with expert knowledge in matters Polynesian and Maori asked me about it. I suggest that we let him have a go at it for a few days to see whether he can produce a keepable article. We could run it through WP:DV], but I think that it's better just to be WP:BOLD and get on with making the project better. All the best, Bucketsofg 17:45, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
Your Gracenotes RfA storyHi. I took a quick look at your Signpost article on the Gracenotes RfA. It was very well-written, but I was struck by the comment in the story that "it became consensus was not reached." In the everyday sense of the word "consensus" that may be true, but within the specialized way we use the word on RfA that's still the open question the bureaucrats are working on deciding, so you might (or might not) want to rephrase those couple of words. Regards, Newyorkbrad 02:39, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
DRV NoteHi, At a recent DRV, you made the statement that copyvios are not open to review. This is not entirely accurate: DRV (on an ad hoc basis) will handle claims that copyvio deletions were improper. These claims are usually wrong, I can remember two or three succeeding for very good reasons: 1.) The source claimed as being under copyright is actually in the public domain (we once had a load of deletions based on the false belief that a US Navy site was under copyright), or 2) The copyrighted content does not match what was in the article, or doesn't match some diffs in the article history that are keep-worthy. Without commenting on the specific closure you made, speedy closures of copyright DRVs are not always in order. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:58, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
My RfA ...Hi. Thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was successful and I am now an admin. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Cheers, Black Falcon (Talk) 05:42, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
one treeeellionThis showed up at WP:DRV#1000000000000 (number) (closed) where there was support for relisting for a full 5 day discussion, but we're now confusingly at WP:RFD. I couldn't care less what happens to the article, but to minimize confusion and reduce tensions I'd like to just reopen the AFD and let it run. Apparently it wasn't snow. Do you have any objection to my doing so? ··coelacan 09:35, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Adoption StatusHi, I hope you dont mind but I've updated your status at the adopters page and changed it to say you are an admin because you were sysoppped to avoid new users to get confused as it said you were not an admin. Hope you dont mind! Regards --The Sunshine Man 19:15, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
Thank you
I'm curious as to which "content dispute" you were looking at on the Cobb page. If it's about that one editor's external links, that's truly a dispute. If it's about his career hits total and other stats, the battle is with on of the endless sockpuppets of User:Ron liebman, who has had several of us watching for his constant POV-pushing on a variety of articles, including Cobb. In any case, with the page being blocked for a week, things have a chance to simmer down. Thank you. d:) Baseball Bugs 23:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
What to doI've added a small note at the top of the page, but since most people have already read the Signpost, a story next week would be the best way to update. If you're willing to write the follow-up story, that'd be great. Ral315 » 02:14, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
I think you forgot to actually delete it. Someguy1221 03:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
Like I said. You were in error. Jooler 12:01, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
EkillianHi, the problem with those pages that I put up for speedy deletion is they say things like "Major League Baseball player" and Major league pitcher" and they are false. Entirely false. Someone made several pages for several guys who just got drafted. These guys have not signed contracts yet and they have definitely progressed through the minor leagues to the big leagues. If these guys deserve articles then every minor league baseball player deserves and article and that would be ridiculous. Ekillian 08:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
To my nominator..Dear , I'm sorry for the late message, there's been lots to do. I regarldess of the result, I can't thank you enough for the chance you have given me, and although I failed the RfA, I gained many friends. I am not the type of editor to be disheartened by such a result, and have gained much experience. If you have anything to contribute by way of improvements or comments, please donât hesitate to tell me. I will run again. Kind regards, Dfrg.msc 06:42, 9 June 2007 (UTC) |
