Notability of Category:Dr Manhattan albums

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Dr Manhattan albums, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Dr Manhattan albums seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Dr Manhattan albums, 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. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Michelle Watt

Hello M90

Just tried to access Michelle Watt's page but it's gone ...

Is this temporary??

Cheers! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Happiness12345 (talk • contribs)

Michelle Watt

Thanks M90. I've taken your advice and I've logged my reasons for the page to be re-instated in the deletion review.

Cheers again!

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Michelle Watt. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Happiness12345 (talk • contribs)

thanks

Thank you for the constructive criticism regarding the deletion of the Claremont Colleges Queer Resource Center -which will be gone soon I guess- instead of just being rude and abrasive like the other users. I just joined wikipedia and was not prepared for how catty people are here. Ramsayem (talk) 09:54, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Haganah

I noticed your intervention here. There are a number of Israel-related topics where there are constant issues with edit wars which could use assistance from an experienced editor. Admittedly few are as clear cut as Haganah but if you could check out Zionism and History of Israel you may be able to assist. Telaviv1 (talk) 14:10, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Discussion on Images

Hi Metropolitan90,

I am new to Wikipedia and that being the case I might be missing something here, but I am not really sure why my discussion/talk page on an image was deleted by you. I am referring specifically to the talk page on the image below. I saw a problem with the map so I wanted to start a talk/discussion page there. I saw that you deleted the page with Speedy Deletion claiming the parent article does not exist. The image itself (which I thought was the parent article) as well as the article image is linked to (North Cyprus) exists. What am I missing here? Is the expected place for discussing about an image not that image's discussion/talk page?

Thanks. Ubardak (talk) 01:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

  • I have figured out the problem, and this is something that I myself didn't know about in part until recently. The image does exist, but it is not actually stored on the English Wikipedia. It is stored on Wikimedia Commons at commons:Image:TRNC_location.png. This makes it easy to use the image on any language's Wikipedia. The part I didn't know about was that images from Commons can be used on any Wikimedia project, such as the English Wikipedia, just by linking to them as though they were actually on the project where they are being used. So Image:TRNC_location.png is sufficient to indicate commons:Image:TRNC_location.png. Notice that Image:TRNC_location.png does show the image, but the "image" tab at the top of the page is in red, rather than blue for an image which is actually kept on the English Wikipedia, and the description says, "This is a file from the Wikimedia Commons." Since the image isn't actually stored on the English Wikipedia, though, discussion of the image should go on the talk page corresponding to where it actually is stored: commons:Image talk:TRNC_location.png. This way, any errors in the image can be dealt with on Commons and thus, if the image is fixed, automatically changed on all the other Wikipedias where the image is used. I don't have an account on Commons nor do I want to edit there anonymously, so instead I will restore the page I deleted to your user space at User:Ubardak/Image talk:TRNC_location.png. Once it's there, you can deal with it appropriately. I hope this helps. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 06:01, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Fort Saginaw Mall

Most of the edits on Fort Saginaw Mall were indeed by me -- almost all of the IP edits were made by me as well, back when I had a habit of not logging in regularly (note the comment about this on my user page). Nonetheless, I've gone ahead and prodded the page instead. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells•Otter chirps) 06:15, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


Speedy deletion of The PlayStation sucks

Please do not move pages to nonsensical titles. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to learn more about moving pages, please see the guidelines on this subject. If you would like to experiment with page titles and moving, please use the test Wikipedia. Thank you.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

We seem to have collided :) I just deleted the talk page while you "kept" the category... Is there a reason to keep the "Novels" category as a sub-cat of "Works"? -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 06:05, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Patent nonsense

Putting wikipedia bureaucracy aside, the root issue is these articles are a hoax and should be deleted. You can easily see the pattern of hoax Indonesian airport being created if you examine the contributions by Category:Suspected_Wikipedia_sockpuppets_of_Vitrox92.

Just wonder

Hello, thanks for your quick help concerning Chen Di. I just wonder if it'd be good simply to delete Chen Di (linguist), since there is no articles linked to it. Cheers.--K.C. Tang (talk) 02:08, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of palatability

This is the second time I've asked to have this speedied - I'm asking you to delete several pages, not just the talk page, as I thought it clearly said in the reason (and below, where it refers). I've already adjusted it to try to make it clearer, but it doesn't seem to be working. Richard001 (talk) 08:26, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Why would you do such a horrible act against humanity?

Listen pal, I don't know who you are, but you obviously have no life. There are a couple reasons I know this:

a.) you are an administrator on wikipedia, therefore you are nerd. Common knowledge says that nerds do not have a life, therefore you can be successfully classified as a man without a life.

b.) You have no idea who Keith Schipper is. He is a television producer who works for the Washington State Republican Party, who also runs a blog about internet dating adventures (which I'm sure you, a man with no life, knows all about.) He is a rising superstar in our Popular Culture and you treat him with such disrespect?

By analyzing Keith's spiel on ancient greeks, I have come up with a hypothesis about you. You are not a man, but rather a woman. How do I know this? You do not have a sense of reason and are completely illogical. I may be wrong about this, but I venture to guess that if you are a man, you still wear dresses in your spare time. I urge you to repeal your antics, and please give Keith the recognition he deserves. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sequimite (talk • contribs)

Why would you do such a horrible act for humanity?

I just wanted to thank you for your support on the Blacklist. You have restored my faith in the possibility that there might be one admin who is actually fair and balanced. (That's a joke! Don't block me for it!) Ok so anyway... Wjhonson (talk) 02:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Denny Fitch

I am in a quandary. I can only find commercial sites that claim Fitch was inducted into the Hall of Fame; the HoF site itself doesn't say so. Are there other organisations with similar names that could be confused for the Smithsonian one? --John (talk) 04:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Although this may be suggestive. --John (talk) 04:59, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I'm confused myself. I don't think there even is an Aviation Hall of Fame at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. The National Aviation Hall of Fame is in Dayton, Ohio, adjacent to the National Museum of the United States Air Force. I know Fitch is not an inductee of the Hall of Fame in Ohio, because he's not on their list of honorees. But I can't even verify that the hall of fame Fitch's speakers bureaus claim he is a member of actually exists. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:11, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
I'll try to find out more; I did a lot of work on this article last year and then ran out of steam. I've commented it out meantime. --John (talk) 05:25, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Stuff

Re this, red-faced thanx for putting it in the right spot. I'll either pry the "L" key out of my keyboard so it's not next to ":" anymore, or cut off one of my fingers, not sure which, in any case thanks for the move :) Franamax (talk) 07:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

The - key is now gone. What other choices did I have? You're not suggesting I should -ook at my typing before I c-ick Save are you? That's just inhuman! ;) Franamax (talk) 08:18, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Judging from your use of the word "should", I would guess that you still at least have occasional access to the letter L. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 08:41, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
Arggh! And I really did look before I saved it! I checked it twice! Thanks a lot, the only option left now is cutting off a finger. No wait, I remember, I was holding down ALT and the cat stepped on 0108 on the number pad. Whew, I'll just shut the computer off now. Franamax (talk) 09:05, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Screw article

Metropolitan90. I saw where you reverted the description of a screw in the screw article. I moved that information to the screw disambiguation page, so now it is in both places. The reason I put it there is that the Screw article is now about shafted threaded fasteners (screws and bolts). I didn't make this decision. It was underway before I started editing the page. You might take a look at the discussion page. I have entered information about the changes I have made and intend to make to the article there.

It is my intention to undo your revert, but I won't do it for several days or until I've heard from you. Note that it is my intention to change the name of the article to Screws and Bolts. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davefoc (talk • contribs)

I agree with this and it was my intention to modify the first paragraph so it would be more suitable as an introduction to Screw/Bolt (I changed the name of the article to be better fit what the article is about now).

I have wondered with the change in the focus of the Screw/Bolt article (which I didn't initiate), if the screw disambiguation page shouldn't be where a Wikipedia search on screws should be directed.

Thank you for the reference to the Wikipedia Manual of Style. I was looking for something like that but didn't know how to search for it. Seems sort of obvious now though. Davefoc (talk) 00:16, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Unrealroyal.com

You as an administrator can directly edit the spam blacklist. You had agreed that this site should be removed from it, per my reasoning, and the lack of evidence. Hu12, an involved admin, having himself been the creator of the original article which spawned this long problematic situation has now closed discussed with Not Done. Hu12 has been blocking removal on basis which are not-spam. I feel that is a conflict-of-interest, potentially a case of ownership and I don't like it. I'm not comfortable with the idea that one admin is rejecting community consensus and exercising control over the blacklist. What would you suggest in this situation?Wjhonson (talk) 09:46, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


Articles for deletion/List of claims made by Zeitgeist, the Movie

  • I just created this page a week ago Friday (Jan 25) and so far I have been the only editor of this page, but I would like to avoid having it deleted in the hope that other editors will collaborate on it with me.
  • I want to let you know that many things have changed regarding this article since you voted to have it deleted.
  • I have fully read and responded to every Wikipedia guideline that I have been referred to,
  • I have modified my plans for the article and changed the way I view the subject in order to fit within those guidelines,
  • I have explained my position and my goals in detail on the AfD for the page,
  • and I have completely blanked the talk page of the article since most of the concerns about guidelines involved the talk page and not the actual article.
  • I am sure you will find that I have made a great effort to contribute to the usefulness and quality of Wikipedia, and that my actions are motivated by a desire to improve Wikipedia and to keep Wikipedia neutral.
  • I believe that the only guidelines my article can still be accused of violating are those concerning "notability" and "lists of random facts" and being that this is such a young article, I urge you to revisit the article, the AfD for the article, as well as the article's talk page, and make sure that you still feel that the article needs to be deleted right now.
  • Thank-you for your time, and I appreciate your efforts in keeping Wikipedia clutter-free!
Sincerely,

Hey, I noticed you are the only one now that votes delete on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Beatles Concert Puzzle. Since then, I have redone the article, and the nominator has changed to keep. Please look over the AfD to confirm that your vote stays or goes. If the vote becomes keep, then the article is a speedy keep. If not, then the discussion continues. This notification is being given because since you voted, he article has been changed so it no longer is clear whether or not you keep your vote.

Lucky Cow

You caught me...I did copy most of the "Premise" section in the "Lucky Cow" article from GoComics, mainly because I was at a loss for what to say other than "a bunch of characters work together at a fast food restaurant." It's just as well, then, that you made the "Characters" section into the new "Premise" section and deleted the old one. Also, I'm sorry about copying that paragraph. I wanted to improve the article, but in retrospect I think that was excessive. Good luck with all your endeavors... 71.251.47.202 (talk) 01:22, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
