This is the second time I have been involved in this Newbie experiment. The last time it was Richard Rogler and I could see it was noteable and helped improve the article. However, this one was not so good as it didn't have obvious notability as a separate article and had very limited hits when searched for. Therefore I could see it wasn't a speedy but also felt that it should not be the job of other editors to go into too much depth when such a weak new article is created. Therefore I proposed deletion giving the newbie a chance to stop the prod and also gave the newbie an advice message on creating a new article in userspace. I do very little patrolling so it is worrying to me that so many admins seem to be playing this game that cleaning up after them could become a significant part of my editing. Overdoing this experiment is more likely to put me off patrolling than to improve my methods. Polargeo ( talk) 09:55, 13 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi - I was wondering if you could look at this FAC - Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/USS Congress (1799)/archive1. I have a specific concern regarding the images in this article - I'm advocating for including more images of the actual ship, which would require a little extra work to include in the commons/wikipedia. The author would rather use existing images and/or a stock image of a frigate, due to rights concerns with the sail plan and woodcut I found. In general, I think the article could use more non-textual information. One problem with this ship is it was neither notable nor infamous so it seems to have very little references in contrast with its other sister ships. I think your or one of the other admins opinion would be helpful. Thanks! Kirk ( talk) 21:47, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I'm a little surprised that you closed the AfD on Engine -- would have thought that you would just keep it open for the seven days. By closing it, you take it off the radar of those that would work to improve it for those 7 days, and while you could go from AfD to deleting the article I don't see how you could go from a non-AfD to deleting it.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 18:17, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ed, I've just added a heap of material into this article, more than doubling its size in the process and converting it into what's basically an article on Dutch colonial policies rather than battleships.

(out) - it looks pretty good to me. Would it be possible for you to expand this though? "Following the war a new Navy Bill was introduced to parliament in November 1921, but it was defeated by a single vote in October 1923."
Side point: is this wrong or was this guy really that stupid? "The prominent socialist H.H. Van Kol argued that building up a strong fleet would hinder Dutch neutrality by making it impossible to not engage any foreign fleets which entered NEI waters." Don't you think that your neutrality should end and fighting commence when someone invades your rich colony's waters with an entire fleet? I'm flabbergasted. —

Hi Ed. I'm posting this here because the NEWT talk page immediately below my comment is already rather crowded. I just wanted to say thanks and you're welcome to this comment.

Look at this article அரிச்சந்திரன் கோவில்.This article is written in Tamil language.So I have nominated it for deletion under A2.But as I know to read Tamil, the article seems to be promoting some charitable trust/temple.So which deletion tag may be appropriate here??? arunkumar checkmate me 07:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Yes.There is Tamil Wikipedia.The temple might be notable but to be genuine to English Wikipedia, the article must be in English.So if the author of the article can translate the article to English, then I guess the problem is solved... arunkumar checkmate me 07:46, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I just searched Tamil Wikipedia and did not find this article there. I think its not notable as Tamil Wikipedia does not mention it... arunkumar checkmate me 08:01, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I searched Google on the topic here.Got six hits but none of them corresponding to the topic Harishchandran Koil/Kovil.So Iam placing A7 tag on the article... arunkumar checkmate me 08:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I was just wondering why you moved Karateka (video game) to Karateka. The primary usage of "karateka" is a practitioner of karate, and the video game was named for this. That was why the video game was moved from Karateka to Karateka (video game) in the first place. (It was moved incorrectly around 2005, which was just history merged.) Also, most people looking for karateka probably want practitioners of karate. However, an article about practitioners of karate is most likely never going to be expanded to more than "a karateka is a practitioner of karate." Therefore, a redirect to karate is most appropriate for an article about karateka (practitioners of karate). Having karateka redirect to karate with a hatenote saying such with the appropriate link to a DAB page follows Wikipedia:DAB#Is there a primary topic?. The video game is clearly not the primary topic, so it should not be at karateka, even if there are no other articles titled as karateka. -- Scott Alter 17:22, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

By closing it, you take it off the radar of those that would work to improve it for those 7 days, and while you could go from AfD to deleting the article I don't see how you could go from a non-AfD to deleting it.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 18:17, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
I think it might be. Could you check to see if it mentions anywhere the bankrolling of the 1970 Chile Presidential Election for Salvador Allende? I'm in the middle of writing a massive paper for IB on American political intervention in Latin America during the Cold War, and I just need the page # (I had to return my copy to the public library).

Another user pointed out a pretty large amount of vandalism on my user page. Could I request a semi from you? Just on my user page? Regards - 4twenty42o ( talk) 21:16, 18 November 2009 (UTC)
I just got a no fair use deletion statement on my other MiG-3 image when it does already have one. Can you check it out at [[File:Mikoyan-GurevichMiG-3.jpg]] and see if I did everything OK or not? I think that the guy was being overzealous, but I got no response on his talk page.-- Sturmvogel 66 ( talk) 23:41, 19 November 2009 (UTC)
In the first hook on the main template, the link to Ewart Alan Mackintosh says "Ewan Mackintosh", but the article never mentions "Ewan". Could you switch it to Ewart? From WP:ERRORS. Shubinator ( talk) 03:26, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Ed, thanks for the partial credit for the Dutch 1913 battleship proposal DYK. I should be able to borrow that book this weekend. Cheers, Nick-D ( talk) 07:12, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
I have reverted quite a bit of vandalism here. Can you do like a 24 hour semi? Or maybe have a talk with the anon? - 4twenty42o ( talk) 07:29, 20 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi Ed, I've just added a heap of material into this article, more than doubling its size in the process and converting it into what's basically an article on Dutch colonial policies rather than battleships. Could you please copyedit what I've written (I think it needs a second set of eyes!) and let me know if you'd like more detail on anything? I'm keen to lodge a joint A class nomination for this article. regards, Nick-D ( talk) 05:14, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
(out) - it looks pretty good to me. Would it be possible for you to expand this though? "Following the war a new Navy Bill was introduced to parliament in November 1921, but it was defeated by a single vote in October 1923."
Side point: is this wrong or was this guy really that stupid? "The prominent socialist H.H. Van Kol argued that building up a strong fleet would hinder Dutch neutrality by making it impossible to not engage any foreign fleets which entered NEI waters." Don't you think that your neutrality should end and fighting commence when someone invades your rich colony's waters with an entire fleet? I'm flabbergasted. —

(out) - hi again Nick, I never got a chance to go through the article with losing my internet for odd periods of time, all the stuff (read: family) associated with Thanksgiving, and a ton of crap I have to do for school. I don't know if I will be able to get through this, but I will try; it's my highest priority. — Ed (talk • majestic titan) 19:18, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Can you remove and or strike your comment at Wikipedia_talk:Newbie_treatment_at_CSD#Question_to_Werespielchequers and apologize to Crossmr? THIS IS IN THE BEST INTEREST OF NEWT.

Hi. Re 'fixing' links to redirects, as you did here [2], this is generally neither necessary nor desirable. In most cases it actually increases overall server load. See WP:R2D for details. Modest Genius talk 01:19, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
Hi Ed. I'm posting this here because the NEWT talk page immediately below my comment is already rather crowded. I just wanted to say thanks and you're welcome to this comment. It's always refreshing when someone responds to that kind of thing with introspection and an attempt to move forwards rather than immediately turning defensive. And of course, anyone who describes my writing as 'wonderfully phrased' must be in the right. Cheers, Olaf Davis ( talk) 10:44, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi..Thanks for correcting me.That article was so confusing that I just considered it as some gibberish/non meaningful text.Again thanks for the clarification.. :) arunkumar checkmate me 07:15, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Look at this article அரிச்சந்திரன் கோவில்.This article is written in Tamil language.So I have nominated it for deletion under A2.But as I know to read Tamil, the article seems to be promoting some charitable trust/temple.So which deletion tag may be appropriate here??? arunkumar checkmate me 07:38, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
Yes.There is Tamil Wikipedia.The temple might be notable but to be genuine to English Wikipedia, the article must be in English.So if the author of the article can translate the article to English, then I guess the problem is solved... arunkumar checkmate me 07:46, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I just searched Tamil Wikipedia and did not find this article there. I think its not notable as Tamil Wikipedia does not mention it... arunkumar checkmate me 08:01, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I searched Google on the topic here.Got six hits but none of them corresponding to the topic Harishchandran Koil/Kovil.So Iam placing A7 tag on the article... arunkumar checkmate me 08:16, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
I was just wondering why you moved Karateka (video game) to Karateka. The primary usage of "karateka" is a practitioner of karate, and the video game was named for this. That was why the video game was moved from Karateka to Karateka (video game) in the first place. (It was moved incorrectly around 2005, which was just history merged.) Also, most people looking for karateka probably want practitioners of karate. However, an article about practitioners of karate is most likely never going to be expanded to more than "a karateka is a practitioner of karate." Therefore, a redirect to karate is most appropriate for an article about karateka (practitioners of karate). Having karateka redirect to karate with a hatenote saying such with the appropriate link to a DAB page follows Wikipedia:DAB#Is there a primary topic?. The video game is clearly not the primary topic, so it should not be at karateka, even if there are no other articles titled as karateka. -- Scott Alter 17:22, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
