Development of Google Street View

During the AfD for Google Street View coverage areas, the nom suggested that this article be renamed to Development of Google Street View. I like that idea. Can you please place the wikitext from that article in a new article with that title, or else in my userspace under the name User:Sebwite/DGSV? If you place it in an article, please place a {{construction}} tag at the top along with a hidden comment not to speedy delete it as a recreation of deleted material. I will then work on it from this point. If you place it in my userspace, I will create the article from that point. Sebwite (talk) 01:14, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Little Pigs and the Big Good Wolf

Thank you for closing this AfD debate. You have deleted the main article, The Little Pigs and the Big Good Wolf, but I think you forgot to delete the second article, Big Good Wolf, which was also included in this AfD. Thanks, Cunard (talk) 16:21, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free media (Image:RBK Logo.svg)

Thanks for uploading Image:RBK Logo.svg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media 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 media 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 'image' 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 "Image" from the dropdown box.

WP:HAU, Status, and you!

As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible) system - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 22:40, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Further to the above, I noticed you were using Misza's system before; if you prefer that you can make it HAU-compatible as explained here. In any case, I've cleared your |status=n flag. Let me know if you have any further questions. –xenocidic (talk) 15:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sheylanli tribe

Hi. I'd like to ask you about this discussion. 10 users showed with rational facts that the article is notable and there are enough reliable sources that describe the tribe exist and two users were oppose. As a result of the discussion no consensus is very surprising and honestly not believable. Please would you have a look at that discussion once again? Thank you. Gülməmməd ^Talk 04:10, 9 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AfD is not a vote. There was a lot of discussion going on; many of the keeps and deletes were challenged, so overall a lengthy discussion without a clear consensus. Besides, the end result is the same: the article is kept. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 21:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Motorola

Your entry on Motorola is entirely speculation, not a single word being supported with references.

I will continue to delete until references are provided.

Your insistence on including it is intellectual terrorism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.107.1.45 (talk) 16:00, 20 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your QuiFriends

Ohai King of hearts. Doesn't it seems strange how you have me as your Qui friend? Not that I don't like you as a Qui friend, but you don't really know me very well... Or do you? :P Heh, heh. -- RyRy (talk) 00:20, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for reverting vandalism to 2008 Philadelphia Phillies season. I work hard to keep that page in tip-top shape during the season, and I appreciate it when others help out. I really like your sig too. Thanks again! KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:47, 24 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Thomas (footballer)

No problem with the outcome of the afd, however seeing that the new season is due to start in 10 days will you be taking the responsibility to restore the material, were he to make his debut at that earliest opportunity.Londo 06 16:08, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copper metal

Hi King of Hearts,

I did a pretty extensive rewrite of metallic bonding and saw your picture of copper metal there. First of all thanks for making that pic, I think it is a good -actually imperative- addition to the story. Unfortunately you happened to take a rather unfortunate example. Even as a atom in vapor copper is known to have a full set of 10 d-electrons and only one s-electron and in the metal it is that one s-electron is the one on the move. That has been shown with XPS e.g. In other words it is really Cu¹⁺ + e^-, not Cu²⁺ + 2e^-. In fact the latter you can only get copper to do if you hit is with a pretty strong oxidizing agent like fluorine, oxygen or chlorine. Bromine is already borderline and iodine sulfur, selenium etc only give you monovalent copper (even in things like CuS!). Could you change your pic? If you're too busy I'd do it too. (I have a reason: need to teach my ~300 freshies this fall. Tnx Jcwf (talk) 20:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I currently don't have access to Inkscape. It'll be easy to change it though, so go ahead. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:18, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK I'll just make it Zn I think, that'll do the trick.

David DeJonge

Hi - you've closed the AfD for this as delete, but deleted only a redirect, I think. The main article is still there. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David dejonge. Ros0709 (talk) 20:17, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it's been handled by Hoary. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 06:55, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MfD

For future reference, we don't uncomment the backlog tag whilst only closing one MfD. Regards Synergy 11:09, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

But there simply isn't a backlog. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 23:28, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Technically there was. There was still one mfd left open in that specific, and another days worth. Synergy 10:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heaven Underground

Don't worry about having missed the release date. The article didn't actually say it and none of the people at the AfD did either. Sorry if my comment was a bit harsh, too. Cheers. lifebaka (talk - contribs) 11:32, 30 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. It wasn't a point of view, it was fact. I use an HP and love it, but still, those claims are true, and were proven true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.102.118.231 (talk) 00:14, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you wish to add those claims, you must say who makes those claims and cite them with references. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:17, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This edit by 75.69.178.200 appears to be vandalism. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:21, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's jus' my homie. He be playin' dat be all. Also: if you're so busy in real life, why is your edit count so high? I think the statement at the top of this page is a lie.--K.Komori (talk) 00:24, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You just reminded me. I had intended to replace that outdated header with a status template earlier, but I had forgotten. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:33, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Larry Johnson (bioethics activist)

To be fair to the IP, they may not have used an edit summary, but all the information removed was uncited, and they did post to the talk page that they thought they were removing questionable material. --Onorem ♠Dil 00:39, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll allow them to redo the edit as they see fit. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 00:42, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Octopus

The plural of Octopus is Octopi. This is common knowledge. Why is this wikipedia article trying to degrade the English language by suggesting otherwise? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.155.44 (talk) 01:17, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Linguistically, Latin words such as alumnus have plural forms ending in -i (alumni), but octopus is derived from Greek. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 01:19, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cactus is also from greek. However, the plural of Cactus is Cacti, unless you enjoy being stupid. It's also worth noting that in the article for "cactus" the article uses the plural "cacti". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.214.155.44 (talk) 01:22, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Read the article before jumping to conclusions. It says that although "cacti" is most commonly used, it is etymologically inappropriate. -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 20:07, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Erech-Uruk Merge

Easy, tiger. You really should wait five minutes before reverting and sending off accusations of vandalism. That will allow a good-faith editor to complete what they're doing. There's been an announcement to merge in the article that hasn't been responded to. Us casual users rely on editors like you to keep Wikipedia clean, but don't abuse the power, count to ten and wait until you know an edit really is vandalism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.7.132.71 (talk) 01:40, 31 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
