Wrong attitudeEvery other administrator lets things simmer a little longer than four days when an article is nominated for deletion. Not only do you move way too quickly, your comments, which consist of "The article was deleted" add to the impression that you really don't care one way or another. My guess is that you have the deletion job this week, that you consider it drudgery, and that you want to run the mop over the floor as quickly as possible. Please note that your name is on all of the "sudden" decisions today, and I think it should be brought to the attention of someone else. Mandsford 12:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The Web Boxing LeagueThis article was deleted after discussion on notability. We have just been notified that boxingtalk.com is going to do an article on WeBL. This should be sufficient to establish notabiity under Wikipedia guidelines. Upon publication of that article, we would like to know if the article can be undeleted. --Art of Pugilism 11:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
WP:WARRIORSHi, I know you said that Elfin created WP:WARRIORS, but she seems to not have been on for a while and since you are the other co-founder, I thought I could just take this matter to you. The current template for WP: Warriors doesn't have a section where someone can put a rating for the article, which I think would be very useful. An example of a project template that does have a section for assesment is {{NovelsWikiProject}}. I wanted it to look something like that, but obviously it would have the Warriors WikiProject info on it. User :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) offered to help with making it (since I have pretty much no idea how), but he suggested I ask someone in charge first. I just didn't want to go and change the whole template without anyone knowing. Thanks, Bella Swan(Talk!) 01:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Closing of AfDThanks for closing the AfD for Steve Moakler. We had also nominated his EP for deletion, The Weight of Words EP. Since it was co-nominated, but after the original nomination, does it still qualify for deletion under the consensus? If not, I will gladly relist it at AfD.

Orphan talk pages projectHi there. I see you recently joined the orphan talk pages project at User:R3m0t/Reports. I just wanted to point out the update to the instructions I made here. Apologies if you already knew this. Thanks. Carcharoth 10:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC) AfdsSorry, I forgot to substitute {{at}} once (or twice?) but now I think I'm on track. Carlossuarez46 18:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC) A question: I note that you change the "remove this template" in closing Afd's to "ns:0", why is that done? Just trying to understand the nuances of this. Carlossuarez46 18:57, 25 July 2007 (UTC) How does that script work? I installed it and nothing happens. What should happen and how should I notice that something is happening? Carlossuarez46 20:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC) I see you re-added the script; thanks. But I still see no effects. Carlossuarez46 21:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC) I use Internet explorer. For a while, in doing CSD's a second box came up with a choice of speedy reasons, then that went away. Very strange. How do you bypass the cache? I may also try firefox. Carlossuarez46 21:37, 25 July 2007 (UTC) Eureka! I got it to work in firefox, then rebooted and now it works in IE as well. Something magical about a good ole reboot. Thanks for all your help on this I wish I were more technically inclined but alas I enjoy humanities more than science. Carlossuarez46 22:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC) Thank you for letting my article remain. Poetry cellar 01:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Proper deletionthank you for doing cleanup of various garbage. However IMO you are not processing deletions properly: you are not removing links to deleted pages fom other articles. I noticed this for Famous groups of people and List of street gangs. One problem with this is that a red link left seen is an invitation to recreate the article, which is in vast majority cases is undesirable. So I'd suggest you to double check your deletion logs. `'Míkka 06:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
John 14:6I see you closed this debate. It's funny how mankind has been asking for reliable sources pertaining to the Bible since it was first written. I suppose we are no different today. However, I would consider a sizable donation to your local charity, just to be on the safe side. Although...you only closed the debate - I began with a delete. Hmm. Maybe I should consider tithing... ;) the_undertow talk 06:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC) Unusual Adoption RequestHi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Wikipedia as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Wikipedia and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Wikipedia work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like. Thank you!

List of Missions in 3-D Pinball Space CadetI can see why you deleted my article. It doesn't really fit the Wikipedia guidelines. And I saved a copy of the article to my hard drive as soon as it was nominated for deletion, so you don't have to e-mail it to me. But, do you know of any place where the list would be appropriate? - E2MB the museblogger 23:00, 27 July 2007 (UTC) Deletion closingsI feel most of the early closes I made were entirely justified as snowballs, even if I didn't say so all the time (past the third day or so, I think that logic no longer applies, and I had been following that day's log closely since the 23rd and could see where some discussions had just lost steam and consensus was pretty well established. I left some where early consensus could have been called, like Amateur radio in popular culture open despite a strong early consensus because there were a few keep votes that might have picked up; I see it was closed as delete (as I would have) today. In my experience as a newpage patroller, debates were often closed without explicit mention of WP:SNOW after two or three days if a consensus had been reached and no one was contributing to the discussion anymore. Any ones in particular you think I closed a little hastily? Daniel Case 03:32, 28 July 2007 (UTC) Oh, I already got one from him ... and that was after one I let sit for a full six days watching how consensus was developing. He's a great editor, writing from an older perspective which is not found as much here, but I wonder if he sends these grouchy comments to any admin who closes on an article he wants to keep. There's borderline incivility there, and if he keeps it up it could lead to an RfC someday. Granted, you have a point about how an early close in a not-entirely-snowball case could lead to an overturn in DRV. I did this partly because when I started closing AfDs a week or so after getting made :-) at the beginning of the month, there was a backlog of almost a week's worth over and above the current week. Within some of the AfDs reaching their five-day limit were some that should have been closed as obvious speedys and snowballs, ones where no one was improving the article (if there's a chance of WP:HEY, I let it stay open). So I started working on a single day's worth, moving to the newest day when those were done (a lot of July 17 closes were mine; so I started with the 23rd when that rolled up and it looks like I can start with the 28th soon). It seems we're a bit more caught up now. I think just looking at all the five-day old ones and making snap decisions can be injurious to the process, too: it seems to me that some lengthy, involved debates are quickly closed as "no consensus" after five days because that's easier than really trying to determine what it was, which isn't fair to the participants; also, some debates which should be relisted are instead closed (often as deletes) because that's easier ... well, two delete votes for a non-speedy deletion are not enough for me to consider consensus in an encylopedia with thousands of editors. Also, by not watching a discussion shake out, it would be easier for someone to get a bunhc of last-minute sock or meat votes in, as some of a discussion's initial participants aren't always around to watch. Just my thoughts on how to approach AfDs. Daniel Case 04:56, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
speedy delete of pageThanks for speedily deleting the project page that I messed up. Appreciate it. Pandacomics 08:03, 28 July 2007 (UTC) question on userficationIs there a quicker way to userfy an article that's been speedied? I restore the article, move to user's space, then delete the resultant redirect. Seems like there must be a faster way, just asking. Had it come up twice this weekend. Carlossuarez46 02:55, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
Hi - can you explain your reasons for concluding this debate as redirect, rather than delete? I realise AfD isn't a vote, but five calls to delete against just two to redirect would seem to be to be consensus. I'm not saying you're wrong, just trying to understand more about the AfD process. – Tivedshambo (talk) 06:52, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Stroller history ErrorI challenge the decision to "delete all", particularly since only one of the persons in the discussion voted to delete all three articles. Not only is it clear that those persons who were voting to delete were talking about the poorly written article "Stroller safety", there is no suggestion that anyone commented on the other two articles, and even comments made that the. I think one needs to be more careful when you get a nominator who likes to "piggyback" several articles onto one nomination. How do I get a deletion review? The decision on this one does NOT reflect the discussion at all. I realize that you administrators have hundreds of these debates to run through, but this is erroneous. Thank you.

Jim Behrle and othersHi Sr13 -- you were the nearest admin I could find. Ill advisedly, an article was created about this guy Jim Behrle, and he's very mad and upset and kind of flipping out.

improper deletionExcerpt from Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents: Infinite monkey theorem in popular cultureInfinite monkey theorem in popular culture was improperly deleted and I have restored it. A regular AFD nomination was begun at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture and someone deleted the article in the early stage of discussion. User:Kurykh and User:Sr13 appear very very hostile to Wikipedia's conventional norms and procedures. The latter's edit summary when he deleted it was dishonest, stating that it was done "after discussion". Michael Hardy 02:54, 6 August 2007 (UTC) end of excerpt"Because I don't understand it and I don't like it" is not grounds for speedy deletion. Saying that something has been deleted "after discussion" when the discussion is only three days old and the communities that may be interested in the article have not been notified is dishonest. Michael Hardy 03:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC) Hi Just a note. I would suggest that you let discussions stay for full five days before closing them. Both at 1000000000000 (number) and at Infinite monkey theorem in popular culture apparently people got upset that the discussion was closed prematurely. Even if the outcome is clear, following process is a good idea I think. Thanks. You can reply here. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 03:23, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

So I'd like to reask it here.
I don't believe I have enough independent sources today to request inclusion into Wikipedia (but I have more than several other podcasts which are not being threatened with RfD's) but I did want to know the means to use in the future when I do - WITHOUT violating WP:NPOV. I am the person who runs the show in question and I respect Wikipedia enough to know that I have no business touching any page related to what I do, but I also hate seeing that my listeners didn't do a good enough job writing the page in the first place. I'm not upset at the deletion, I'm just seeking information about being included in the future once I do believe that there's enough evidence of "notability" while still respecting Wikipedia's guidelines. Thanks for your time. --BlackwolfGA 17:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Rename clerkingRe [1] - please leave accepting or declining requests for the crats. There was a lot of controversy over this a few months ago and the crats asked expressly that the clerks never accept or decline requests. As a purely practical point, the archival Bot is programmed only to remove requests if the {{done}} or {{notdone}} tag is signed by one of the present bureaucrats so non-crats adding it doesn't really help the process :-).
