Ahem.

Though I appreciate your efforts to impose your personal taste in encyclopedias on everyone else on the internet, you really should attempt to figure out what Aetolia, the Midnight Age actually is before you go editing my entries. Perhaps a little experience would have shown you that the information was indeed valid. Anfini 22:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article you wrote started with, "Varian, the Celestine is the origin of all Creation. All that is, was, and will be is thanks only to His Divine Will." I think that's pretty clearly not encyclopedic content. --Cheapestcostavoider 05:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Like I said, you'd have to play the game. Ever play video games? Anfini 23:29, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi.

Please read WP:NPA for everybody's sake. SushiGeek 22:39, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a neutral obsever, can I just say that [1] is uncalled for. If you engage in opersonal attacks, you may be blocked from editing wikipedia. Please read WP:CIVIL and WP:NPA. --Doc ^ask? 22:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the second comment, but stand by the initial criticism of your administration style. Not only did you manufacture a vote count out of nowhere despite the fact that votes are irrelevant, but then reversed the decision after the debate had been closed. This is irresponsible and you provided no justification or reasoning.Cheapestcostavoider 00:46, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New Top fourteen page

I like the fact that your new t14 page has some non message board cites. I think I'll be able to support this page now should it face another AFD debate -- my concern before was the lack of specific support for this term outside the message board community; it just struck me as a neologism if only used there. Keep up the good work. Interestingstuffadder 03:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anna Ivey

Good job finding another source. A few more liem that and I might be ready to change my vote on the AFD. However, I still disagree with the idea of a speedy keep. As I've said, I believe in process and it seems worthwhile to let the debate run its course so all interested parties can have their say. What is there to lose from letting this debate run its course? Interestingstuffadder 16:24, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Marduk in popular culture

Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users.

Very well; I will restore the latest version for now. Snottygobble 05:45, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the latest version and taken it back to AFD. Snottygobble 05:54, 4 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Accounts

Cheapestcostavoider, may I ask if you are also User:Interestingstuffadder and/or User:Sparklemotion?

I note the structural similarity of the usernames "Cheapestcostavoider" and "Interestingstuffadder", and that the user page of Interestingstuffadder states "I openly admit that this is not my primary user account".

I also note that Sparklemotion has edited only four pages, all AFDs with which one or both of these other accounts has been involved. The following table summarises edits of the three accounts to pages in Sparklemotion's contributions history.

	Anna Ivey	AFD	Twins-Yankees rivalry	AFD	The Diarrhea Song	AFD	Top Fourteen	1st AFD	2nd AFD
Interestingstuffadder	edited	nominated withdrew nom		keep		keep	edited	nominated
Cheapestcostavoider	edited	keep		keep		keep	edited		keep
Sparklemotion		keep		keep		keep			keep

I see there are a number of AFDs where more than one of these accounts has voted. If more than one of these accounts are you, that would be a very serious breach of Wikipedia's policy on sockpuppetry.

Blanking from about a month ago

What was up with [2]? SushiGeek 23:55, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what happened with that. I was trying to delete my comment at line 243 but a bunch of other ones were also removed for some reason. Sorry about that. --Cheapestcostavoider 01:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Portal:Law selections

Greetings, fellow WikiProject Law member! One of our tasks on this WikiProject is the upkeep of Portal:Law, where we have set up a four week cycle wherein each week one of four key features - the selected article, biography, case, or image - is rotated out. Previous selections can be found at Portal:Law/former selections. Please contribute your thoughts at Portal talk:Law as to likely candidates for future rotations in each of these categories. Cheers!

Spam in Vault (company)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Vault (company), by Gwynand, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Vault (company) is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Vault (company), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Vault (company) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 18:46, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WP:Hornbook -- a new law-related task force for the J.D. curriculum

Hi Cheapestcostavoider,

I'm asking Wikipedians who are interested in United States legal articles to take a look at WP:Hornbook, the new "JD curriculum task force".

Our mission is to assimilate into Wikipedia all the insights of an American law school education, by reducing hornbooks to footnotes.

Each casebook will have a subpage.

Over the course of a semester, each subpage will shift its focus to track the unfolding curriculum(s) for classes using that casebook around the country.
It will also feature an extensive, hyperlinked "index" or "outline" to that casebook, pointing to pages, headers, or {{anchors}} in Wikipedia (example).
Individual law schools can freely adapt our casebook outlines to the idiosyncratic curriculum devised by each individual professor.

I'm encouraging law students around the country to create local chapters of the club I'm starting at my own law school, "Student WP:Hornbook Editors". Using WP:Hornbook as our headquarters, we're hoping to create a study group so inclusive that nobody will dare not join.

What you can do now:

1. Add WP:Hornbook to your watchlist, {{User Hornbook}} to your userpage, and ~~~~ to Wikipedia:Hornbook/participants.

2. If you're a law student,

Email http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:Hornbook to your classmates, and tell them to do the same.
Contact me directly via talk page or email about coordinating a chapter of "Student WP:Hornbook Editors" at your own school.

(You don't have to start the club, or even be involved in it; just help direct me to someone who might.)

3. Introduce yourself to me. Law editors on Wikipedia are a scarce commodity. Do knock on my talk page if there's an article you'd like help on.

Regards, Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 04:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

PS

Judging from the list of articles you started, I'd guess we went to the same law school! Andrew Gradman ^talk/_WP:Hornbook 04:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image (File:Dot.JPG)

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Dot.JPG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. B (talk) 01:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Cheapestcostavoider! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person.
