Category:Wikipedians of Canadian descentIs there any reason you deleted the newly created Category:Wikipedians of Canadian descent. Is there any reason that you did not notify me of this deletion? Yours aye, Buaidh (talk) 14:28, 26 October 2009 (UTC)
Re: Welcome backI just decided to take a look at your contribs on the off-chance that you had returned, and lo and behold you have. I saw your contribs about wanting to be caught up about what you missed. If you still care about user categories, I would take a look at all of my Wikipedia space (and Wikipedia talk space) edits since you have been gone (I haven't been extremely active, so that won't be as burdensome as it might have originally sounded). Black Falcon has been gone as well, and with the absence of you two it seems like the climate of user categories has been changing somewhat. It would have be nice to see your .02 on some of the nominations I have made in the past couple months. VegaDark (talk) 14:44, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, you blocked the creation of Jonathan Pease back in June 2008 after it was CSD:A7'd quite a few times. It's been recreated at Jonathan pease, and whilst it's still an awfully formatted article and needs a lot of work, I think he now passes the notability requirements. Could you compare the current article to the old ones, and if you think it's appropriate, unblock the correct capitalisation and move the article. Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 11:26, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
Tax revolt in critical care at a hospital near youHello fellow WikiProject Oregon member, once again time for the Collaboration of the Week in the land of Oregon. As always, thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving List of films shot in Oregon and Jim Paxson.

For the later, I have laid out some sources here, and the remaining red links are all over the state, so you can find one near you!

I would like to make the necessary changes and add reliable resources that are needed and re-create this article. I realize that I am supposed to contact you since you were the deleting editor. Feedback? Thank you, Mirandaemde (talk) 21:01, 12 November 2009 (UTC) ThanksHey, Thank you for your quick response and for your comments. I will work on creating a page titled "Michael Manning (priest/or religious figure). Is there any way I could have you review the article before I post it to receive your feedback? I know there are alot of guidelines for Wikipedia articles and I just want to be sure this article remains in good standing. Thanks again. Mirandaemde (talk) 21:29, 12 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks!Cooooooooooooool! It might survive deletion discussion, this is very promising and positive news!! haha. Thanks VD. So, are you suggesting to move it to main space? And then, I can continue to edit and improve it? Thanks again.

It's sunny out, quick take a picture!Greetings to WikiProject Oregon folks. It is time again for another installment of as the Collaboration Of The Week Turns. A big thank you to last time’s guest stars who worked on Oregon tax revolt and creating hospital articles, we had 3 DYKs off the hospital articles createdd. This week is the star-studded affair of the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, starring VegaDark. You can go out and take a picture, browse through Commons for an existing one, or search for a free one on the Internet, and in some cases remove an old request (or even add a request to an article that has no images).

Aboutmovies (talk) 23:17, 22 November 2009 (UTC) Hey man, thanks for reviewing List of Minnesota Vikings starting quarterbacks. Without your help, we wouldn't have yet another featured list here! As a follow-up to that list, you may have noticed that I have now nominated List of Minnesota Vikings head coaches for featured list status. I would therefore like to ask you to make a couple of comments about that list, provided that you have enough spare time on your hands. Many thanks. – PeeJay 10:53, 30 November 2009 (UTC) Moving PageHi, What is the easiest way to move the page you have helped me with? It is under my user name but I want to move it to the mainspace now. And, how do the editor comments get removed? I don't think the article is created like an advertisement anymore. Do editors just remove the comments on the page as they see the changes being made? Thank you! Mirandaemde (talk) 22:56, 1 December 2009 (UTC)Miranda Emde
PayLess at Sprouse-Reitz for your G.I. Joe's, brought to you by Troutman's Emporium and Frederick & NelsonHello WikiProject Oregon member, and seasons greetings. Here at Collaboration Of The Week we thank you for your efforts making Oregon better, at least on Wikipedia, and hope you are doing better than Joe's. Or, in the eloquent words of some marketing manager for another now defunct Oregon chain, Merry Christmas from PayLess... Merry Chriiiistmaaaasssss!!! Now that pleasantries have been exchanged, thank you to those who worked on the last two collaborations, the Semi-annual Great Oregon Picture Drive, and Oregon Country Fair and Geoff Petrie. For this edition of the COTW we have Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County. The hope for the later is to fill in the last few images (5) and then see if we can make it the first NRHP list in Oregon with an article for every entry (need 27).

Tis the season for one last Collaboration Of The Week to get started this year. Thank you to those who worked on Gambling in Oregon and NRHP in Washington County the last few weeks. For the final COTW of 2009, we have Archiving Article Talk Pages and Mr. Standard TV & Appliance, Bill Schonely. For the archiving, we have a lot of old, stale comments on article talk pages from before 2009 that should be archived away, so that new comments are not added to things that either were addressed or not worth addressing. Personally, I archive anything older than a year. Anyway, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. Adios.

Last week was one of the more successful COTWs in recent memory as we really worked hard as a community to improve Concordia University and Berry Botanic Garden. Both are now at least C class articles and nicely illustrated (thanks to Tedder, Finetooth, and Ipoellet). Plus it really was a group effort as we had five different WPORE editors work on the garden and ditto with the school, with some overlap between the two. Anyway, this week, we have by request the completely unrelated Just Out and Terrell Brandon. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW.

Thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving Terrell Brandon, Just Out, 75th Oregon Legislative Assembly, and all the unreferenced BLPs. This week we have by request Oregon Coast Aquarium and Arvydas Sabonis (maybe the Blazers can sign him as I think he's healthy). Both need more sourcing. As always, click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW. And remember folks, the only thing we have to fear is death and taxes, unless of course the dingo ate your baby, at which point you may feel the need, the for speed to get away from said dingos, which in turn can lead to a failure to communicate due to the dynamics of sound waves, though at some point hopefully we can all just get along. Aboutmovies (talk) 09:07, 27 February 2010 (UTC) Visual edition of the Oregon COTW featuring the Glass Palace Hello WikiProject Oregon member, time for a new edition of the Collaboration of the Week. Thank you to those who helped out the last few weeks improving Oregon Coast Aquarium and Arvydas Sabonis. Also thank you to those few of you helped with the attempt to celebrate Women's History Month with Barbara Roberts and Ursula K. Le Guin. This week we have by request the Memorial Coliseum that has been in the news a lot lately, and then one of the more important political figures in our state's history, Douglas McKay.

Thanks to those who assisted in improving a few articles over the last month. For May Day edition of the COTW (in Wikipedia time its May already), we have by request Rim Village Historic District and the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry (AKA OMSI). Rim Village just needs some refinement to get to GA, while OMSI needs a lot of work in general.

Aboutmovies (talk) 04:43, 1 May 2010 (UTC) Re: Dating adoption offersThe purpose of dating adoption offers is quite simple: several Wikipedians, including myself, expressed a desire at WT:ADOPT to be able to counter-offer adoption to users who had recently received offers, particularly if they felt they were better suited to that user's needs. However, the majority of pages in Category:Wikipedians having been offered adoption are inactive users who simply have not logged on since their adoption offer was made, sometimes for a period of several years. This made effective use of the category almost impossible. I volunteered to modify the template slightly to introduce a date parameter, and to create the new categories, into which I have now sorted the entire backlog of adoption offers. These categories show adoption offers by month, so that Wikipedians can select the newest offers to investigate further. While I have placed notices encouraging editors to date their offers, I have also requested that SmackBot automatically dates offers for those who forget. I hope this answers your question. strdst_grl (call me Stardust) 15:47, 12 May 2010 (UTC) Benny Beaver and AgntOrangeWould you have a look at the Benny Beaver article? AgntOrange is back, and has made a lot of changes and additions that really detract from the topic. Specifically, his Historical Connection section goes into minute detail about the fur trade in Oregon, which is unecessary in an article about a university mascot. He has even added a picture of Abraham Lincoln, presumably because he wore a beaver hat. I have reverted his changes twice, but he has decided edit warring is the way to go, so I would appreciate your input before I revert again. If you think I am off-base on this, I will let it drop, but I think his changes are not germain to the topic, and really damage what was an informative article.--Edgewise (talk) 13:51, 16 June 2010 (UTC) Can you please restore the Category:Indian-politician-photo since now this category is not empty. --Sreejith K (talk) 13:17, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

(Whisper...) 12:00, 3 November 2010 (UTC) Wikipedians categoriesAs I have pointed out, categories of the ilk Category:WikiProject Puerto Rico members, Category:Wikipedians interested in Puerto Rico, Category:Wikipedians in Puerto Rico, Puerto Rican Wikipedians, and Category:Wikipedians of Puerto Rican descent cannot be populated by the creator of the category, but only by those Wikipedians who fit the category. As such, the category must (usually) be created before users will enroll in the category. Since the rules for speedy deletion do not allow for empty categories, this creates an unfortunate conflict. I have ceased creating categories in which members do not pre-exist to avoid creating extra work for you. I hope we can come up with a solution for this problem. Please let me know your ideas.

Nomination of List of common misconceptions for deletion The article List of common misconceptions is being discussed concerning whether it is suitable for inclusion as an article according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted. The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of common misconceptions (3rd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines. Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion.

Wikipedians by ethnicity and nationalityI have been thinking about a reorganization of Category:Wikipedians by ethnicity and nationality and I wanted to ask for your perspective on the idea before I start editing c. 200 categories. I envision the following steps:
Through these steps, I hope to achieve three goals:
Although I am doubtful whether nationality user categories fill a useful "niche"—considering that we have separate, and more focused, category trees for editors by location, language and interest in a country—I am not proposing to nominate them for deletion because I do not think that such a nomination would succeed. Still, deletion could be considered during the nomination to rename the categories. I would love to know what your thoughts are. Thanks, -- Black Falcon (talk) 06:26, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
WPORE COTW 2.0 - the picture editionGreetings one and all. For some of you, this will be your first time receiving one of these messages, as it has been a year since the WikiProject Oregon Collaboration of the Week (COTW) was a regular thing. My hope is it gets back to being a regular thing. Usually I would go over the past COTW, but we are basically starting out anew. So, without further adieu, this edition is our semi-annual picture drive. We usually try to do it when there is decent weather in the state, and today seems to fit the bill. Now although you are encouraged to go out and take pictures, you can also just search the internet for images that have the proper licensing and upload those. Flickr is one site that has a fair amount of content with the proper licensing (most images on Flickr are not compatible). See WP:COPYRIGHT in general. For some “free” sources, check out the our dormant subproject that has some links to sources. Lastly, if you need to know what images we need, here are the requests. Please remove the request from the talk page if you add an image. Finally (this is not image related), as the years have passed, we have lost many good editors, and others, like myself, are no longer in school or are working full-time or both, and thus are less active in the project. The project lives on, but it has created a bit of a power vacuum without a de facto cabal still around all the time. With that in mind, I encourage newer project members to step-up and fill some leadership type roles. Granted, we have no formal ruling junta or anything and no real defined roles, but there are many maintenance type tasks that some of us just took on to keep the project going. For instance, I ran the COTW, was pretty much the only one doing assessments, updating the portal, and even handing out the awards. I am sure others in the project can name what things they have done. The point being, that while I enjoyed those and still do some of those, I simply no longer have the free time to do all of it at a level that the project deserves. That said, I hope to start a discussion at WT:ORE where we can see if some newer editors would like to step-up and take on some of these tasks, which will hopefully make for a more inclusive project, and maybe get us back to the heyday of say 2008 when things were really rocking for WikiProject Oregon. As always, please click here to opt out of these messages, or click here to make a suggestion for a future COTW.

MSU InterviewDear VegaDark, My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(proposals)/Archive_82#Learn_to_be_a_Wikipedia_Administrator_- _New_class_at_MSU|HERE]], where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students. So a few things about the interviews:

AlrightWhere do I start the discussion about this category? Category:Gay Wikipedians. I see no reason it shouldn't exist so please point me in the right direction. (Also I hadn't realized it was ever deleted; I saw it created as a redirect so, yeah). Thanks. Ncboy2010 (talk) 11:18, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
Category:Wikipedian engineersPer this CFD, shouldn't the category be deleted? It looks like it's alive and kicking. I would have G4'd it but for the fact that it appears a bot created it, so I'm not quite sure what's going on. Thought I'd mention it so you could look into it. Category:Wikipedian engineers. VegaDark (talk) 06:59, 24 August 2012 (UTC)
G'day, I noticed that you've deleted this category as G4, which is acceptable, however I think that the discussion in 2007 is no longer valid. The WMF has put reducing "the gendergap" as one of its goals, and I think the community has a greater appreciation now that there is a real issue. This category helps us find female editors, without requiring that they use a userbox. Some community members want to be categorised by gender but dont like to use a specific userbox in order for special:whatlinkshere to work. As an example of how I use it, I keep track of the self-disclosed women in Category:Wikipedians in Australia & Category:Australian Wikipedians by using the two WP:category intersection tools. This includes keeping stats, welcoming them, helping them connect with other women with similar interests, etc. Given that this category has been stable for four months, and there are a lot of userpages that now have a red category on their userpage, would you be inclined to restore this category, and maybe send it through a category deletion discussion. If not, I'll initiate a DRV. John Vandenberg (chat) 07:33, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

Followup RFC to WP:RFC/AAT now in community feedback phaseHello. As a participant in Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that WP:RFC/AAMC is not simply a repeat of WP:RFC/AAT, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:34, 24 October 2012 (UTC) Category:Christian saints by periodI was about to create this cat when I saw the notice that it had been previously deleted. I had intended to make Ancient, Middle Ages, Early Modern and Late Modern as sub-cats of this cat. Similar to Christian Martyrs and Christians.

Restoring deleted category: Tongan Mormon missionariesVega, since you were the deleting admin for Category:Tongan Mormon missionaries, I'm letting you know that I'm restoring it. There's now an article that can go into it—Talite Vaioleti. His status as an LDS missionary is part of a DYK hook that is active as I write this. — Dale Arnett (talk) 04:05, 13 January 2013 (UTC) Wikipedia edit-thon: Saturday, February 9, 2013
Hope to see you there! --Another Believer (Talk) 16:32, 15 January 2013 (UTC) Category:Christian saints by periodI was about to create this category when a message popped uo saying that you had deleted one of the same name in 2009. I was thinking of confining it to just 5 categories: Ancient saints, Medieval saints, Early Modern saints, Late Modern saints and Saints by century. What do you think of this schema? It reflects the "Christian martyrs by period" schema also. Thanks. Laurel Lodged (talk) 17:16, 2 February 2013 (UTC) Doh! Please ignore. I've just seen your reply from last November.

Please helpDear VegaDark, could you please check the talk page of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robby_Robinson_(bodybuilder) and help to achieve fairness in materials put on article about Robby Robinson? I would like to hear your opinion if you also support that within a couple of days an article about a famous bodybuilding legend turned out into an article about a ... I do not even have words. All the previous contributions were deleted, not only those from me, and new ones are presented so misleading that people who know Mr Robinson and his life and achievements will never believe this is an article about him.

Category:User pages with ULAN identifiersYou recently deleted Category:User pages with ULAN identifiers.

You blocked me on Wikia. Thanks a lot.This is WimpyGuy. The account you blocked for infinity on Wikia. You pissed me off. I'm just a child. And you go ahead and do that? What self-respecting guy blocks a 12-year-old child from Wikia? I know I did bad things but I believe you're doing it on purpose. I demand you undo my block otherwise you'll have more problems. Same goes for UltraNeko3000 on Scary Logos Wiki, with the comments. I demand you unblock it. It's not on. 2620:117:C080:520:5E26:AFF:FEFE:8DBC (talk) 09:32, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Since you have already investigated carefully, you have obviously noted that the contents are different, making it ineligible for speedy deletion as a repost, because it is an independent creation. Nyttend (talk) 12:18, 9 October 2014 (UTC) Please restore this category as it is part of the subset of Category:Wikipedians by skin which was nominated for deletion at WP:CfD by you, and the result of that nomination was keep. Your deletion of this category that you nominated for deletion and the community said to keep is abuse of admin tools and violates INVOLVED. If you wish to start a new CfD for this category, you go right ahead and do that, but it should be restored in the mean time. Thank you. — {{U|Technical 13}} (e • t • c) 14:19, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

I created this category, because I created a userbox (Template: User in Reno) that could possibly put people into the category. With the Reno metropolitan area having over half a million people, I'm expecting someone will use the userbox and select an option that places them into the category. I understand that you deleted the category, because it was empty. What is the policy for this situation? Is there a way to place a hold on this category until a user is included therein? Is that the right thing to do? I'd prefer to have the first person who uses the userbox see themselves seamlessly entered into the category. But I don't want to raise a big stink or bust anyone's chops. So if it isn't possible, I'll just let it go. Taxman1913 (talk) 08:55, 30 October 2014 (UTC)
Your recent edits to Oregon State University and OregonHi VegaDark, I've noticed that over a period of time, all of your edits and reverts to Oregon State University and Oregon have been seemingly been geared to try and make OSU look more prestigious on Wikipedia. Especially in light of your affiliation with OSU, I want to remind you that we have a page about Wikipedia:Avoid academic boosterism; as such, the removal of well-cited, relevant facts for no other apparent reason is frowned upon.

Extended confirmed protection Hello, VegaDark. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy. Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas. In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge
