Please help

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong - I was able to add links before, but now when I try, it doesn't 'stick'. I'm attempting to add another 3rd party article to the MystiCon page and have followed the instructions, just not sure why it comes up in all red and basically telling me it's not there.. Please assist? coffee is the real drink of the gods! (talk) 16:33, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

Not sure what you mean but you can't use anything from Examiner.com as a reliable source on Wikipedia. - Dravecky (talk) 00:50, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
Oh, hmm well that explains them but what about news in advance? they're the newspaper for four plus cities in Virginiacoffee is the real drink of the gods! (talk) 10:56, 5 April 2011 (UTC)
On second thought, never mind. It's getting too hateful on WP and although I appreciate all of your help, would it be okay if I deleted the page and talk page? Some well-meaning people thought they were helping and it's only served to fan a particular person's fire and I wasn't raised to act or treat people the way they're are acting. It's shocking and not something I want to be involved with. How do I go about erasing the entry?

Nomination of All-Con for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article All-Con is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/All-Con 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. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article.   «l| Promethean ™|l»  (talk) 10:55, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

You have Mail

Best,   «l| Promethean ™|l»  (talk) 01:10, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

If you wish to discuss matters related to Wikipedia, I only communicate on Wikipedia itself. If you have a personal matter to discuss, not related to Wikipedia, then an e-mail would be appropriate. - Dravecky (talk) 06:24, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Good faith and logic

Hi Dravecky

I notice that in this edit and numerous similar ones, you state that you are "assuming good faith" and then make a conclusion that is inconsistent with Promethean's actually having acted in good faith. Your conclusion is illogical (as I commented there), as it would be completely standard procedure for an editor to open a number of pages from a list page, then go through each one to see if there are sources, and then nominate (in rapid succession) those for which the editor found sources wanting. I believe that you should refactor your comments at AfD/AllCon and elsewhere.

Regards, Bongomatic 06:03, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I always begin from a position of good faith then try to see any editor's words and actions in the best possible light, with a clear eye on the facts and policies involved. Thank you for your input on this matter. I will give it the consideration it clearly deserves. - Dravecky (talk) 06:23, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Retiring from Wikipedia

I wanted to let you know that I am retiring from Wikiipedia effective this weekend. This is not to issues with policy, other users, or Wikipedia itself. It is personal priorites with being engaged for marriage later this year along with a job-related exam in October.

I wish to thank you on working with various items in Wikipedia. - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Miller17CU94 (talk • contribs) 14:51, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

The article was deleted and without more sources from Northern Ireland, I see no hope of immediate rescue. - Dravecky (talk) 09:49, 17 April 2011 (UTC)

Liquid crystal laser

Hi Dravecky, I added quotes for my addition because it was an exact quote from the book. You removed the quotes in this edit. So, I guess that part should be changed somehow. May I please ask you to help me with this change? Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 21:46, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

I removed an open blockquote tag with no apparent quote following (there were no quotation marks) and no closing blockquote tag so the entire article after the first paragraph was improperly indented. If you have a blockquote, just be sure to close any tags you open. - Dravecky (talk) 22:30, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Sorry about this. I fixed it now. Thanks.--Mbz1 (talk) 23:19, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
