What's up?

Hi Crz: How come you worked on the Jason Bedrick article if it was started by a problematic sock puppet User:Yeshivish, it says on his page: "It is suspected that this user might be a sock puppet or impersonator of User:Mphudson. Please refer to contributions for evidence. See block log and current autoblocks." ? IZAK 01:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Whip Jones

I've revamped the Whip Jones page and I'm asking for a revote. Please see the discussion on this. Please reply there to comment on what you think we need to fix or delete in order to keep the article.

P.S. Very sorry to hear about your neighbor.

Thanks - crz crztalk 07:56, 15 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

crz, I've noticed that you base some of your AfD discussions and worthiness on ghits, I spent some time Googling the different variations of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whip Jones you can see the ghits results on the discussion page. If you have a moment and could reexamine the updated Whip Jones article itself, and perhaps reconsider your reccomendation, I would appreciate it.

More about me on my User page:

Synagogues

Hello! I am going to translate some stubs about destroyed synagogues of Poland from PL Wiki and I want to ask you if there is any naming convention for them. I mean there are several "New Synagogues" and "Great Synagogues" etc. For example how about Wrocław New Synagogue, should it be moved to "New Synagogue, Wrocław" or to "New Synagogue of Wrocław" ? I think it is very important to cover this field as there were more than 3 millions Jews in Poland before the WWII. Thank you very much and hope your studies are going alright. - Darwinek 17:15, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You!

Thank you for your input at my RFA, which successfully closed at 58/2/0. I will think about the 10 questions and answers I had, and I hope that I will use the tools constructively and for the benefit of Wikipedia. If you ever need any help, don't be afraid to drop me a line. I'm here to help afterall! ‎8) -Royalguard11(Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 23:45, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Crzrussian/Archive 33, thank you for participating in my RfA which passed on 13th December 2006 with a tally of 49/10/5. Whilst I am delighted by the result and a little daunted, I appreciate your comments re lack of experience in some aspects and I shall be cautious in my use of the new tools - I hope the furry slippers proved comfortable :-) I am well aware that becoming an Admin is not just about a successful nomination, but a continuing process of gaining further experience and I should welcome your feedback on Admin tasks I become involved with. Again, many thanks for taking the time to consider my RfA and cast your views. :-) David Ruben 02:18, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PROD tags

Please don't add prod tags to userpages. It's against PROD policy. Please take objectionable userpages to MfD or tag them for G11.

Wrong. See here. Please educate yourself on actual policy before giving lectures. --Calton | Talk 06:26, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This was only done not three weeks ago

I'm sorry, was there a "hold" period for implementing policies I was unaware of?

There should really be broader discussion than that... but at least it should be publicized somehow.

You mean other than here, here, here, and mentioned here at various points. These are just the ones I remember.

How many out of the 1078 sysops know about this change? Prob. very few.

I don't see how you can project your lack of knowledge onto a thousand others. If you can't keep up, why should that be anyone else's problem? --Calton | Talk 06:53, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good grief, it appears Nietzsche is alive and editing well. Calton, give it a break, it was an honest mistake. Yanksox 07:09, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

He goes out of his way to be as rude as possible. Instead of simply pointing it out calmly, he has to cast it in the most cutting way possible. I hadn't heard about that either, and of course it's stupid to prod a userpage since anyone can remove it with the slighest of valid reasons. All it's good for is removing inactive pages, which don't bother most people. --Elar a girl^Talk|Count 08:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA thanks!

Thank you so much, Crzrussian, for your gracious support in my RfA (48/1/0)! I am very happy that you trust me with this great honor and privilege. If at any time you think that I need to step back and take a deep breath or just want to talk, please contact me. Happy editing! Cbrown1023 03:34, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal

I'd like you to reconsider the deletion of John C. A. Bambenek. Since the review 9 months ago, he's been in the NYTimes, Wash. Post, been invited by the Dept. of Homeland Security to speak, and has become a syndicated columnist. In most cases, it seems that the user would be notable. Even User:Tony Sidaway (not exactly an inclusionist) had a problem with the deletion the last time. That aside, he's only become more notable since then.

--ChrisPerardi 05:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The community has spoken. You may bring new evidence at deletion review, WP:DRV. - crz crztalk 05:21, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, but the last deletion review said that if there was new evidence the article should be recreated and revetted... -- ChrisPerardi 05:50, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've listed it... -- ChrisPerardi 05:55, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

RfA oppose votes

I'm sorry if you're offended. This is going to sound fairly embarrassing for myself, but I guess those definitions for 'spurious' you listed differ somewhat from those I had in my head. But anyway, that is not the point. We obviously differ greatly on what we consider to be useful criteria for assessing admin candidacies, and as I assume we both know, I tend to be a lot more 'liberal' in giving out support votes. (I personally consider it to be taking a more conservative stand on admin candidacies, considering the process's much more easy-going past) I'm sorry if I was offensive, and now seeing the dictionary definition of spurious laid out in front of me, I don't think my use of it was either appropriate or correct. It just happens to be one of those cases where I learned a word through context, rather than ever looking it up in a dictionary, and my personal (and in this case, erroneous) thoughts on its connotations differ from those in the dictionary sense. I will remove the word spurious from the RfA, although I still consider your opposition of the candidate to be too harsh. I apologize if I was offensive, and I hope that there will be no ill will between us in the future. RyanG e rbil10(Упражнение В!) 05:46, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and by the way, I posted here before I saw that you had withdrawn your oppose vote. Sorry again... RyanG e rbil10(Упражнение В!) 05:49, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userfy

Out of curiosity, why would we need a deletion discussion in order to merge a template? It's not all that important I suppose, but the template is pretty much redundant, and not used all that often. (Radiant) 09:58, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a redirect as elimination. People using it could then still keep on using it as they always have. My point really is that Wikipedia has way too many cleanup tags and cleanup cats, and as a result you cannot count on any of them getting the amount of attention it may need. (Radiant) 13:07, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My recent RfA

Thank you for considering my RfA. It was a very humbling yet surprisingly gratifying experience. I am grateful for all the constructive comments that will undoubtedly make me a better contributer, and hopefully a stronger candidate in the future. Grika 14:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Last change / Blue Dot AfD

This article is spam and not-notable. It doesn't meet Wikipedia's criteria for an article about a software company. Please stop removing the AfD tags and allow a discussion - what you are doing is undemocratic and violates Wikipedia's rules. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DigitalEnthusiast (talk • contribs) 19:30, 18 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Thank you. Wikipedia as a whole will decide whether the company is notable, and if I'm wrong, I won't touch the article again. DigitalEnthusiast 19:35, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA

Thank you for your participation in my RfA, which I have chosen to withdraw early at a final count of (10/8/3) as it was unlikely to gain consensus. I know how busy you are, but if you could offer me any more specific suggestions about what parts of the Wikipedia process I should be more familiar with, I would greatly appreciate it. I hope to do my best to address the issues raised, and I plan to reapply in the future when I have gained more experience. Cheers, Dar-Ape 23:30, 18 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your Question of 1 November

Ok, so I'm slower than anticipated giving the final answer. Back on 1 November, you'd asked me if I'd be interested in an RfA nomination. (User Talk:GRBerry#Are you interested in...) I knew then that I wouldn't be ready to stand for one until after Thanksgiving. Here it is, 3 weeks after that, and I'm finally read to give you a final answer. My time for Wikipedia is limited. I wouldn't describe myself as being good at dispute resolution. My janitorial specialty is clearly deletion - I haven't actually done RC patrol or NP patrol for a couple months. So my use of the tools would be deletion related, probably mostly deletion review related. That said, if you wish to nominate me, I will accept and make the time to give questions at RfA the attention the community deserves. I also got input from Xoloz (User Talk:GRBerry#Flying colors! and GTBacchus (User Talk:GRBerry#RfA question). (I also solicited Tony Sidaway's feedback, but after he left on wikibreak so got no response.) GRBerry 03:44, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've written my answers. As you requested, formal acceptance hasn't occurred, but it will. GRBerry 04:20, 22 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Mikkal Morottaja article

Hello! I'd like to ask if you could explain why you find this to be non-notable? And why no chance was given to defend the notability of the artist? (And no, it's not a vanity article either 8).) -Yupik 11:46, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your nomination text to GRBerry

I am a little bit offended by the last sentence of your nominating text "Please join me in welcoming our next sysop". I think that line is unnecessary, and isn't adding any effectiveness to the paragraph in my opinion. Removing it won't reduce anything as well.

Well, knowing Wik, he's just going to keep reverting infinitely anyways (see Flag of Georgia (country)), and I figured if I semi-protected the pages right away, we wouldn't be giving him the chance to create more and more sockpuppets (notice that he's now focused his attention on Jayjg's user & talk pages).

RFA, maybe in the future! Thanks for the compliment. Are you still in New Jersey? I have been to Moscow, and was going to to to St. Pete, but had to go to Budapest for work. Someone at Aeroflot slit open my luggage looking for valuables.

I got blocked twice, once for uploading images from the Meadows Foundation and marking them "cc-by-2.5" with the attribution as "Meadows Foundation". I had their permission from their monthly meeting. The second time was a conflict over changing truncated names to full names. Its seems that for a short period it was moving the articles even if a the full name was already a redirect. Normally you cant move an article if a redirect already exists.
