Question

Hello, am I allowed to remove the Speedy Removal thing yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryalane (talkcontribs)

You should use the {{hangon}} tag, but I don't know what page this is for...  fetchcomms 02:30, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

its for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Knight%27s_Story_2/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryalane (talkcontribs) 02:41, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Carmen Herrera

Hello Missrain4, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Carmen Herrera - a page you tagged - because: A7: subject is elderly painter who was just recognized as big talent, her work is subject of several shows, and the article now has a link to a N.Y. Times article about her. Please review the criteria for speedy deletion before tagging further pages. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 05:22, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Ah, my apologies, I searched her on google and found nothing, but I realise now I made a mistake typing in the name, so thought she wasn't notable enough. I'll be more careful next time :) missrain(talk) 05:25, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for your note. Another editor has given reason A1, "lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article". Another choice might have been G2, "test page".

Don't sweat Carmen Herrera. The article you tagged was one sentence long. Somebody expanded it a bit before I saw it. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 05:39, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. missrain(talk) 05:42, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I recently removed a speedy delete tag that you had placed on Chase Halverstadt. I do not think that Chase Halverstadt fits any of the speedy deletion criteria because "He is now a Youth Motocross World Champion" is a claim of significance, quite sufficient IMO to prevent an A7 speedy delete.. I request that you consider not re-tagging Chase Halverstadt for speedy deletion without discussing the matter on the appropriate talk page. DES (talk) 07:38, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I probably should have tagged it as a hoax, instead." missrain(talk) 16:46, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

I changed your A7 nom to a G3. A7 should only be used if the article does not claim or assert notability. The article claims that the person is a mixed martial arts fighting champion. This is a blatant hoax, which is why G3 applies, but it is an assertion of notability, so A7 does not. --SquidSK (1MClog) 18:04, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Pfft. Details, details.  ;) --SquidSK (1MClog) 18:12, 20 December 2009 (UTC)

Attack pages

Thank you for your work on new page patrol. When you spot a page that meets the G10 speedy deletion criterion, you should blank it so that it contains only the deletion tag. Thank you. -- Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 17:36, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Perplexed

Hello Missrain4, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I declined the speedy deletion of Perplexed - a page you tagged - because: Band article exists, though it is up for a PROD. PROD this, or take to AFD. If you have any questions or problems, please let me know. GedUK  20:37, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Good question...

That's what I get for doing new page patrolling late at night. The question marks, the lack of citations, that rather lurid tone and the fact I misread "barrister" as "hamster" (so help me, God) led me to believe it was a hoax. There really weren't any online citations to back it up anyway, but you're right in claiming that it wasn't vandalism. My bad. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:36, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Well, if it does in fact have significant third-party coverage, it's certainly worth an article. I remember all that hoo-haa about the McMartin preschool trial back in the 80s...I didn't live far from the place and believe me, you couldn't go within two blocks of it and not see it surrounded by TV crews. So yes, I'd say it's worth covering. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:50, 22 January 2010 (UTC)

Deletion declined

Your attempt to delete article about my band is declined. Don`t know why you did it. Have you even heard that album? Had you searched for significance/insignificance of that piece for serbian rock scene, and the band article for band exists for years... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarooo (talkcontribs) 18:18, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

No prob, I take no offense anymore. For your punishment, go download and hear the album from this link :)

Hey, I hope you will soon die of cancer. And I hope you will die pointless and alone. On my grave there will be written "A guitarist and vocalist of small rock band", on your will be written "An eraser of wikipedia`s entries of small rock bands". —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarooo (talkcontribs) 08:01, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

Hey be nice to bunny! Evenios (talk) 07:37, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

After another editor userfied this, I deleted your speedy tag, SVP. Bearian (talk) 05:36, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

Your user name

I love it. :-) CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:07, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Sometimes, I can make it go both ways. Go figure. CobaltBlueTony™ talk 19:16, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Oh hai thanks for your message

after double checking the edit that user made i realized now i had overreacted and have gone and removed my warning on his page with an apology :-) Thanks for the advice! Evenios (talk) 07:36, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Personal Attacks

Hello, if you would please see that talk page, you would notice that I did not make any personal attacks, that's number 1. Secondly I didn't accuse anything, until I was accused of ridiculous claims, in addition to fan-cruft. Please read it and tell me what sentence I said that was a personal attack, because I don't see it and you'll see you should indeed be warning the other editor. Thank you.--PeterGriffin TalkCont. 09:31, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Well I think your mistaken, because when an editor tells me I'm going to be reported to an admin, that I Idolize and will do anything to glorify someone or the such, I consider that as well an attack. You should warn the other editor, as your clearly being biased here, if anything we should both receive this notification, or none.--PeterGriffin TalkCont. 09:46, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
Disputes? You can call anything that has two sides in Wikipedia a dispute. Anyway, I appreciate your input even though I don't agree, you seem to be a nice editor, so I'm glad we got in touch. Thank you.--PeterGriffin TalkCont. 09:56, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

Bibliographic listings when importing

Hi. I've made some comments here and here. Would you be able to take a look and see if you can fix the incomplete importing that you started? Please ask if you have any questions, though I'm commenting on content only here. Carcharoth (talk) 11:45, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. You tagged this as non-notable, but as the band he founded is notable enough to have an article which mentions him, I think he deserves a redirect to it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:54, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

Malleus

Hi, I noticed this comment. While I have no intention of adding further to Malleus's sense of persecution by talking further to him there, I needed to make the point that it isn't acceptable to complain by name about other users without presenting any evidence. It was that or AN/I; maybe next time it'll have to be AN/I and probably another block for the lad, which would be a shame as I know he is a decent writer. I'll be happy to leave him alone (indeed I have better things to do as I am sure you do) if he refrains from any more empty posturing. Hope that makes sense. --John (talk) 00:37, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm afraid I would take you seriously if the first thing you had said wasn't a link to Malleus' past RFAs. That was needless and came across as petty and somewhat bait-ish. OohBunnies!Not just any bunnies... 00:49, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Oh, and that's a really silly way to just 'make a point'. It seemed like his behaviour wasn't the only point you wanted to make. OohBunnies!Not just any bunnies... 00:51, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Yes, you're right, that was unkind. I believe though that this is where his animus against administrators comes from, that he was rejected (twice) by the community when he wanted to be one. It isn't important though; what is, is that he stops making these empty allegations. --John (talk) 01:30, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
Let's try AN/I then matey, because I've had just about enough of you. Oh wait, it's a hangout for your admin mates, and admin wannebees. Let's not bother "lad". Malleus Fatuorum 01:32, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
John, my point is: judging by the way Malleus rather bluntly requested you to leave his talkpage, he didn't want to talk to you. You still say "I will leave him alone if" etc, when really, as an admin, you should be wise enough to not speak to someone who you're perfectly aware doesn't want you on their talkpage. And you make him out to be the fox who couldn't reach the grapes, but actually we all know some of the grapes actually are sour. OohBunnies!Not just any bunnies... 01:47, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
I think its only fair to warn you Bunnies that John isn't really interested in listening to points of view other than his own. He did the same thing on my talk page, and then left some pathetic veiled threat about bookmarking my RFA redlink, as if anyone gives a shit. He really isn't worth it.

Fire (Cashore novel)

I noticed we disagree on whether Kristin Cashore's two (soon-to-be-three) novels are in the "Seven Kingdoms Trilogy". I can't find anywhere that this is true, as Fire is set 35 years prior to the start of Graceling. Which is it? Sorry if I seem rude, but, as I said, I can't find the fact anywhere. —Untitledmind72 (let's talk + contribs) 21:24, 2 June 2010 (UTC)

It's not really rude, but check this link as you can see, it's well known under that name. Also, no offence meant but one of the books being set before the other would not in any way stop it from being able to be classed as a trilogy or a series so that's a rather redundant point. OohBunnies!Not just any bunnies... 20:08, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

I've had a good look through, but there's one bit in the 20th-century response section that I can't quite make sense of.

  • "In 1930, William Empson, while praising the form of the poem as universal, argued against its merits because of its potential political message, claiming that the poem "means, as the context makes clear, is that eighteenth-century England had no scholarship system ...". Is there a missing word? Should this be "claiming that what the poem means is that 'eighteenth-century England had no scholarship system ...'"? It seems strange to begin the quotation with the word "means" in any event.

Good luck at GAN. Malleus Fatuorum 15:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

I've completed the review and put it on hold to address copy edits and image fair use. I am happy to copy edit but don't want to make any controversial edits. Si Trew (talk) 10:55, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Si Trew has given you quite a bit of work to do with his very detailed review OohBunnies!, so I thought I'd try and lend a hand. I think I've dealt with the issues in a couple of the sections anyway. Malleus Fatuorum 14:15, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I don't mind bunging in myself on those ce's on Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard – I just felt that doing so pre-emptively was perhaps contentious. Si Trew (talk) 14:41, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
Malleus Fatuorum has ce'd the criticism and influence sections, I've ce'd the rest but there are some outstanding structural issues, or those requiring someone with more knowledge than I have, in background, composition, and themes sections. Fuller comments at the review page. You'll probably want to review and revert some of my changes, too. I'm sure these can be fixed and I'll be happy to pass it then. Si Trew (talk) 20:14, 12 July 2010 (UTC)
I've passed the article as GA. Congratulations and thank you for your hard work. Si Trew (talk) 07:41, 13 July 2010 (UTC)

You are now a Reviewer

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a two-month trial scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at Special:OldReviewedPages.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. —DoRD (talk) 17:11, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi Bunnies. Remember me and the East Harlem Purple Gang? lol. Congrads on your upgrade. Can you do me a favor and look at the Alexander Pechersky article I wrote and am trying to upgrade. Some person Ishtar456 responsible to upgrade the article is making unreasonable demands. I would just like to have a neutral party take a look, read his list of demands, and maybe give your 5 cents (his list of demands are on my talk page). Thanks! Meishern (talk) 10:45, 6 July 2010 (UTC)

Happy Birthday

Congratulations on resisting the inexorable flow of entropy for another year. Here's hoping you don't OD on Iron Bru. Ironholds (talk) 02:24, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

It's spelled Irn Bru, and is the drink of the gods. OohBunnies!Not just any bunnies... 02:26, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
