Question: Can you please tell me what you do to close the RfA's. Do you have to manually put the closing box around it or is there a template for that. I would assume it's a template and I can't seem to find out which one it is. Could you help me?— cyberpower ( Talk to Me)( Contributions) 17:42, 1 January 2012 (UTC)

I was really confused there for a second until I realized we were both trying to close the same AfD at more or less the same time. It's a good thing we both had the same conclusion on the outcome.-- Kubigula ( talk) 17:12, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
I love a challenge. I found enough significant coverage of Jelena's World in reliable sources Politika, Hürriyet and others, [1] to improve the article. Of course, what I immediately had to address was that the plot in the nominated version was a copyvio of the synopsis on the production website. There was easily enough to fix it on up. I gladly invite you to revisit Jelenin svet to see what was you first nominated [2] has become significantly better. [3] Cheers. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 01:13, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. When redirecting schools as you did at [4], please remember to include the {{ R from school}} template. It populates an important category that is used for statistical purposes. Thanks. -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 04:36, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust, I'm sure your a very nice guy and you helped me with nomination of transfer to the Wikimedia commons of the image File:Accra Skyline - Wide view.jpg which stopped it from being deleted, thank you so much for that because I don't know how to licence my uploaded images that well.
I would be really really grateful if you can help me licence the following five images that you have been nominated for deletion because their really important images that would be really important to their Wikipedia articles:
I would be really grateful Armbrust if you can help with the licencing of those five images to stop them from being deleted, thank you so much Armbrust. Regards - MarkMysoe ( talk) 14:32, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Hey Armbrust, please attempt to engage the anon IP on the talk page rather than continually reverting. I don't want to call WP:3RR on anyone, so I'd appreciate it if you could discuss things. I'll revert the Davis page and protect it if I have to. What do you think? The Rambling Man ( talk) 17:11, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Just a head's up... I earlier submitted a WP:3RR report on the IP in question regarding this page. Given that you had a fair number of reverts in there too, you may want to reply on that thread. -- Tgeairn ( talk) 17:37, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust. Thanks for doing all the closures. It looks as if I've pasted a lot of my reminders here. I won't place any more, but please remember the 'R' template - it will save me a lot of work;) Cheers, -- Kudpung กุดผึ้ง ( talk) 09:04, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
This relates to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Brodkorb and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick D'Agostino. Why is it the fact that these articles are BLPs a reason to relist them a second time? Nobody has recommended keeping either article after two weeks. I don't see how extending the discussion again facilitates the principle that "Material about living persons added to any Wikipedia page must be written with the greatest care and attention to verifiability, neutrality, and avoiding original research." -- Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:55, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust, as you invite to talk about your edits: I would like to know why you declined my request for a file upload already on 2 January. Your comment on 29 December read: "Comment: Place request on hold until draft isn't moved to article space. If this doesn't happen within seven days, than this request will be declined. Armbrust, B.Ed. Let's talk aboutabout my edits? 14:21, 29 December 2011 (UTC)." Today is the end of that 7-day-period. I had waited for comments from two friends on my very first article - just to find that you already moved on. If it is still possible to reconsider my request, please note that I just requested AfC submission of my article. Thanks and regards Uwe. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Utrenkner ( talk • contribs) 14:44, 5 January 2012
Based on your comments, I have split this into template:Katharine Hepburn and template:Katharine Hepburn filmography. If there is policy against actor filmography templates, per MOS:FILM, then I suppose the second one should be deleted? Frietjes ( talk) 22:43, 5 January 2012 (UTC)
Regarding this NAC: given the obvious canvassing on this AfD, I don't really think an NAC was appropriate. "Only one person advocated deletion" is not a valid closure either. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) ( talk) 15:59, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
The Kris Herzog page is being vandalized, Please Lock Down or Restrict Edits to Senior Wikipedia Editors lie yourself. The paparazzi hate Kris Herzog, as he is a celebrity bodyguard and they have already sent me threatening emails saying they would vandalize the new Kris Herzog page. I just removed vandalism on the Kris Herzog page, there will be much more, unless you lock it down and/or restrict edits to senior Wikipedia members like yourself. His company, The Bodyguard Group, is a free job placement service, free of charge for any veteran, not a security company, they seem to attack him with that. I do not know how to do this myself, please help me. Thanks, Amanda, Student, New York University (— Preceding unsigned comment added by Aad351 ( talk • contribs) 19:56, 6 January 2012
As per discussion, I'm trying to move the article to a more specific name, that is, "Wait list (college admissions)", so the old article "Wait list" is no longer needed.-- Tomwsulcer ( talk) 13:38, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
While I'd have closed this request just like you did and, in general, non-admin comments are always welcome and often very useful, requests on WP:PERM should only be actioned by an admin. Cheers. Salvio Let's talk about it! 00:00, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

G'day Armbrust. When you closed and redirected the AfD regarding Saint Rose School, you didn't move through any information on the school to the locality. The result is that someone who could be searching for Saint Rose School gets redirected to an article that, apparently, has nothing to do with what they searched for (i.e., WP:SURPRISE!).
I've added the schools that I can see from Google Maps, but I have no local knowledge, do not know how enrolment catchment works in the US, so if you could please check my work at Girard, Ohio, I'd appreciate it. ˜ danjel [ talk | contribs ] 15:56, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

Hello, could you please have a look on this article and tell whats still wrong with it. The lady got several awards, and there are five sources. -- Nicola54 ( talk) 13:03, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
While I concede the keeps clearly outnumbered the deletes, I don't believe this fit the criteria for a non-admin close, i.e., "absent any contentious debate among participants", especially right after my own remarks questioning the sources. I think you should have left this for an admin and recommend that you undo your close. Msnicki ( talk) 16:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, Armbrust. I noticed your non-admin closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kim Sa-rang (singer) no consensus. Non-admin closures should only really be done in cases of clear consensus where the closer has the technical ability to perform the outcome (so keep, redirect and most merges). No consensus closures by non-admins should generally be avoided. Can I recommend that you undo your closure of that discussion and allow an admin to deal with it (they might close it as non-consensus or choose to relist it)? Thanks.

Hi there, I just reverted what you did to 2011–12 Biathlon World Cup – World Cup 4 because merging discussion is ongoing and you may join for further consensus among Wiki community. Cheers! — Rammaum talk stalk 04:36, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
Hello. Just a note, I've noticed that when closing AfD's, you've been placing the ({{ Old AfD multi}})
This user page was previously nominated for deletion. The result of the discussion was keep. |
tag at the top of article talk pages. Please note that per guidelines for closing AfD's here Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Administrator instructions, the instructions are to place the tag below Wikiproject headers:
"Click "edit" on the article page and copy the entire {{ Old AfD multi}} template that is inside the AfD tag, then paste that entire template onto the article's talk page (normally below the WikiProject tags, if applicable), and then save using an edit summary such as "Adding {{Old AfD multi}}"."

What's your objection to the template? It exists for a reason. It's important that readers understand that a such an article is a moving target and may be wrong from moment to moment while the event is ongoing and that they should check news sources if they need very current details. If you object to the template generally, that's probably something to take up at Template talk:Current sport or WP:TFD. If you just feel it's not needed right this very minute, its nice for other editors' convenience to just leave it commented out until needed again, so no one has to go look up the parameters again. :-) — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 11:51, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
When you closed this AfD, did you in investigate the reasons for this edit ? I would not blame you if you did not as it took me a bit of time to spot it, but it looks like User:Geek2003 stuck another editors !vote out because they had a semi-retired notice on the talk page. On the face of it looks like a clear keep, but looking closer I now think the discussion appears to be a little manipulated; what do you think ? Mt king (edits) 12:09, 14 January 2012 (UTC)

Your comment in the deletion review needs a correction: there was a consensus about WP:AUTHOR, not WP:NACTOR.I thought to fix it myself, but I think it's better you do so. - Cavarrone ( talk) 21:08, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. You've been doing an exemplary job closing AfDs. One today, however, raised a question in my mind. It was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Engadine Public School. I agree completely with you that, as you noted in your close, "There is a clear consensus, that a separate article for this school isn't warranted". You closed it as a redirect, which I personally was open to. But looking at the !votes, that didn't seem to have consensus support, as best I could tell -- only 1 other !voter supported that result. In contrast, 5 editors called for deletion (only), and I also indicated an openness to deletion. That seemed to me to be the consensus at the AfD. Thoughts? Best.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 22:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Greetings, good sir! I just happened to be looking around Wikipedia:RfA and found the request for MikeLynch. In it, you had asked an additional question and eventually !voted neutral, and a day later changed to support. You have not struck your neutral !vote.
I would have done it myself, but knowing it's not considered appropriate to edit users' comments - even in the case of this sort of error - I opted to give you a heads-up instead. Good day and I hope the impending blackout doesn't darken your spirits. =) CycloneGU ( talk) 01:23, 18 January 2012 (UTC)

Why the relist? No one disagreed with merging, and no one urged deletion at all so this even should have been speedy closed as I had stated. postdlf ( talk) 13:25, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Is the format specified
here actually laid out anywhere on the snooker's project's pages, or is this yet another hidden guideline that simply confuses editors acting in good faith to improve articles? At the very least data tables should contain class="wikitable"
and a caption is strongly recommended for accessibility reasons. A better solution than enforcing some nonstandard layou would be update the rest of the snooker articles to use tables the same way the rest of the encyclopedia does.

14:30, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
You closed this as Keep? That's insane. The best that can be said was no consensus. The "strong keep" doesn't make that editor's vote any more important, especially when the arguments made were patently false. The site DID NOT win any Webby awards, it was merely nominated, and that nomination process is trivially easy. Please consider changing the closure to be a more accurate reflection of the discussion. DreamGuy ( talk) 14:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Please consider re-opening the AFDs for " Onward Muslim Soldiers" and " The Myth of Islamic Tolerance". 3 deletes against 3 keeps does not constitute consensus to keep, and certainly not a strong enough consensus for a non-admin closure. If there are reasons for discounting the delete votes, ie. if you believe they're not based in policy, it's incumbent on you to explain that in your close. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 15:19, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. I noticed to added semi protection to W. E. B. Du Bois. I recently asked that it be UNprotected. I'm not entirely sure if it was protected before or not. It looks like it may have been. Can you unprotect it? Thanks. -- Noleander ( talk) 18:05, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Please check the history of articles before tagging with {{ prod blp}}. This one had references until the edits immediately preceding your tagging. Phil Bridger ( talk) 12:02, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi - I see you have been taking care of AfD's on Jan 15 - this one seems to be skipped over (unless i can't see what happened to it). Is it to be deleted? Relisted? Kept??? (shudder....). Thanks. Soosim ( talk) 16:59, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
Good work closing AFDs, but do make sure you remove the sorting template. I've done that for you here, so it's not really a problem. But leaving the sort template just means that editors looking at debates in that category will end up wasting their time by checking in on a closed out debate. No worries, just an FYI. Thanks for the help! UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 21:14, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, There would appear to be many pages supporting this category. The charts are generally published monthly, with a different game every month since the early 1980s. There will be games that remain number one for several months, but that still leaves at least 250. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.37.100 ( talk) 07:33, 24 January 2012
Hello, I submitted this article and I have re written it so many times and tried to put as much information references etc up there and I'm starting to feel quite frustrated because there are other bands with far less references and have far less proof of notability. I am just really unsure as to what I am doing wrong to keep it getting rejected, If you could tell me specifically what I need to change that would be so helpful and I would be very grateful!

Phoenix International Raceway - B-class article
Phoenix International Raceway, also known as PIR, is a one-mile, low-banked tri-oval race track located in Avondale, Arizona. The track opened in 1964 and currently hosts two NASCAR race weekends annually. PIR has also hosted the Indycar Series, CART, USAC and the Rolex Sports Car Series. The raceway is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation. The raceway was originally constructed with a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) road course that ran both inside and outside of the main tri-oval. In 1991 the track was reconfigured with the current 1.51 miles (2.43 km) interior layout. PIR has an estimated grandstand seating capacity of around 67,000. Lights were installed around the track in 2004 following the addition of a second annual NASCAR race weekend. Phoenix International Raceway is home to two annual NASCAR race weekends, one of 13 facilities on the NASCAR schedule to host more than one race weekend a year. The track is both the first and last stop on the West Coast, as well as the second and second-to-last track on the schedule.

Hello - if you want to remove all that information from my page - at least keep a record on the talk page? It took me a LOT of time to gather this info. Also, why did you remove it from the snooker template, and remove the template from the page? How would this tournament be categorized if it not a 'non-ranking' tournament?? Sandman30s ( talk) 12:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm a little confused... ok, no. I'm completely stumped as to what you did on this article. TBH, I could have even seen you closing this as keep before your second relist, but to put it up for relist and then close it a few hours later after just two more keep !votes? What was that? If you're gonna relist it, why not let it run out? I'm not suggesting that it's gonna swing to delete, but that's a really odd close. Nolelover Talk· Contribs 00:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your work at AFD. Can you please take a look at WP:RELIST? It's not usual to relist AFDs endlessly in the hope that someone will come along, and anything beyond a second relisting should have a specific rationale given. If an AFD isn't getting participation, it should be closed as no consensus or soft delete (by an admin). Stifle ( talk) 17:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi! You reviewed my "articles for creation". Can you please tell me where your review so that I may improve on the article and that I will be able to let someone review it to be an article. Thanks. 125.237.123.182 ( talk) 01:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust, I'm trying to organise Festivals. I'm come across Rideau Canal Festival. The result of the afd was to merge to Rideau Canal. Can you possible do this now? Thanks. Argolin ( talk) 03:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Although your closure may be correct, it is controversial, as I (the nominator) and one other editor found no justification for inclusion, and only 2 other editors found any justification to keep, which I stated was contrary to guidelines. I ask that you reverse the closure and wait for an admin. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:05, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. Signups will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is Grapple X ( submissions), due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about The X-Files; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at good article candidates. Second place is currently held by Ruby2010 ( submissions), whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is Jivesh boodhun ( submissions), who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly!
The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20.
A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.
We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition.
A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, are making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi you seem to have some knowledge about cue sports. Someone added PoolMeister to this page and I can't find any references... do you know of such a tournament? Also, it would be appreciated if you could add some of the missing champions on this page... there is scant info before the 90's; seems we might have to resort to old magazines or scanned newspaper articles.

Hi, I noticed that you misunderstood from ALPG page that ANZ Ladies Masters (Currently Gold Coast RACV Australian Ladies Masters) had happened two times in 2011, one in February and one in March. I went to ALPG page and if you click 2010/2011 season, and if you see the date of ANZ Ladies Masters, the last one on the list, it is written as March 2-5, 2010. So the ANZ Ladies Masters did not happen in March 2011. The direct proof that ANZ Ladies Masters did not happen in March 2011 is that whom you had written as the runner-up of that event, Lee Bo-mee, participated in LPGA of Japan event Daikin Orchid Ladies, which was held through March 4-6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThpRicky ( talk • contribs) 07:15, 5 February 2012

You recently proposed that this article be deleted. However, the article has been PRODed once before, but deletion was contested by the author, so policy dictates that the article cannot be re-PRODed. If you think that the article should be deleted, you need to take it to AfD. Favonian ( talk) 11:48, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

Hi! Its a picture of Peer, who is sitting next to me. I've almost just uploaded the image to the isotia site, which is his own publishing company website. How do I get a license to the picture?

I hope your self inflicted break gave you a chance to get out of the house for the day! Keep up the amazing work with your stunning edits and winning personality. Sorry to see your prospective promotion to your "job" on wikipedia to be an admin was swiftly removed. Better luck next time - I'll be supporting you all the way because you truly are special on so many levels. All the best my friend :-) Spc 21 ( talk) 18:34, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
...A sincere apology, from my side, for ruining a clean block record... I've been feeling bad about this for a pretty long time and would want to tell you that my view about you as a brilliant editor and an extremely productive asset to Wikipedia hasn't changed a bit. I also wish to inform you that after a few months, perhaps before the next six months, if you're still open to considering my offer, I'll be more than pleased to nominate you as I had wanted earlier. I shall understand if you decline this offer, given the recent past, but I would strongly encourage you to look at the positives and contact me whenever you wish for any assistance you may desire. My kindest regards... and again, I'm sorry. Wifione Message 03:33, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you added the Template "more footnotes" to 2011–12 ISU Speed Skating World Cup. All the results can be found on the ISUresults website, what are the extra footnotes you are looking for? - FakirNL ( talk) 23:41, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. I noticed that you moved the laws of Australian football to Australian rules football. Whilst this is probably ok from a disambiguation point, your edit summary of "this is the official name" is incorrect. Australian football is actually the official name of the sport but is not used often here due to the worldwide ambiguity that it has. The WP:COMMONNAME of Australian rules football is often used here to disambiguate it from football (any code) in Australia. Cheers The-Pope ( talk) 05:26, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I just saw that my request for image upload on "Apple Messages Application icon.png" was declined, with the explanation that the image is replaceable with a free one. However, it isn't the case, since the image is the specific icon of a computer software (that is, Apple Messages, for Mac OS X), intended to be used on the specific page of that specific software (that is Messages (application)). Such use of a computer software icon seems to be a common practice and appears to comply with the fair use principle. What should I do to have my request reevaluated?

Hey mate, I saw you put a non-free template on here. Obviously I removed it because non of the article is copyrighted but you undid it and said that it contains to many pictures. Anyway I just want to know, what do you want me to do. I tried making this page almost like other seasonal articles like 2012 Major League Soccer season which has a section which contains pictures of all of the stadiums that will be used during the season but instead of stadiums I want to use logos. I am just wondering, how is this wrong and how can I improve the article. I dont want to draw away people as this article will become more popular as it is recently in India.

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Grapple X ( submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was Tigerboy1966 ( submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Ruby2010 ( submissions), Cwmhiraeth ( submissions), Miyagawa ( submissions) and Casliber ( submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Ruby2010 ( submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.
The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.
The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which would otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages or by email. Good luck!

This relates to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Michael Brodkorb and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nick D'Agostino. Why is it the fact that these articles are BLPs a reason to relist them a second time? Nobody has recommended keeping either article after two weeks.

Hi Armbrust, as you invite to talk about your edits: I would like to know why you declined my request for a file upload already on 2 January.

G'day Armbrust. When you closed and redirected the AfD regarding Saint Rose School, you didn't move through any information on the school to the locality. The result is that someone who could be searching for Saint Rose School gets redirected to an article that, apparently, has nothing to do with what they searched for (i.e., WP:SURPRISE!).
I've added the schools that I can see from Google Maps, but I have no local knowledge, do not know how enrolment catchment works in the US, so if you could please check my work at Girard, Ohio, I'd appreciate it. ˜ danjel [ talk | contribs ] 15:56, 8 January 2012 (UTC)

While I concede the keeps clearly outnumbered the deletes, I don't believe this fit the criteria for a non-admin close, i.e., "absent any contentious debate among participants", especially right after my own remarks questioning the sources. I think you should have left this for an admin and recommend that you undo your close. Msnicki ( talk) 16:49, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, Armbrust. I noticed your non-admin closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kim Sa-rang (singer) no consensus. Non-admin closures should only really be done in cases of clear consensus where the closer has the technical ability to perform the outcome (so keep, redirect and most merges). No consensus closures by non-admins should generally be avoided. Can I recommend that you undo your closure of that discussion and allow an admin to deal with it (they might close it as non-consensus or choose to relist it)? Thanks.

What's your objection to the template? It exists for a reason. It's important that readers understand that a such an article is a moving target and may be wrong from moment to moment while the event is ongoing and that they should check news sources if they need very current details. If you object to the template generally, that's probably something to take up at Template talk:Current sport or WP:TFD. If you just feel it's not needed right this very minute, its nice for other editors' convenience to just leave it commented out until needed again, so no one has to go look up the parameters again. :-) — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(Õلō)ˀ Contribs. 11:51, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
When you closed this AfD, did you in investigate the reasons for this edit ? I would not blame you if you did not as it took me a bit of time to spot it, but it looks like User:Geek2003 stuck another editors !vote out because they had a semi-retired notice on the talk page.

Your comment in the deletion review needs a correction: there was a consensus about WP:AUTHOR, not WP:NACTOR.I thought to fix it myself, but I think it's better you do so. - Cavarrone ( talk) 21:08, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi. You've been doing an exemplary job closing AfDs. One today, however, raised a question in my mind. It was Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Engadine Public School. I agree completely with you that, as you noted in your close, "There is a clear consensus, that a separate article for this school isn't warranted". You closed it as a redirect, which I personally was open to. But looking at the !votes, that didn't seem to have consensus support, as best I could tell -- only 1 other !voter supported that result. In contrast, 5 editors called for deletion (only), and I also indicated an openness to deletion. That seemed to me to be the consensus at the AfD. Thoughts? Best.-- Epeefleche ( talk) 22:39, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
Greetings, good sir! I just happened to be looking around Wikipedia:RfA and found the request for MikeLynch. In it, you had asked an additional question and eventually !voted neutral, and a day later changed to support. You have not struck your neutral !vote.
I would have done it myself, but knowing it's not considered appropriate to edit users' comments - even in the case of this sort of error - I opted to give you a heads-up instead.

Why the relist? No one disagreed with merging, and no one urged deletion at all so this even should have been speedy closed as I had stated. postdlf ( talk) 13:25, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Is the format specified
here actually laid out anywhere on the snooker's project's pages, or is this yet another hidden guideline that simply confuses editors acting in good faith to improve articles? At the very least data tables should contain class="wikitable"
and a caption is strongly recommended for accessibility reasons. A better solution than enforcing some nonstandard layou would be update the rest of the snooker articles to use tables the same way the rest of the encyclopedia does.

You closed this as Keep? That's insane. The best that can be said was no consensus. The "strong keep" doesn't make that editor's vote any more important, especially when the arguments made were patently false. The site DID NOT win any Webby awards, it was merely nominated, and that nomination process is trivially easy. Please consider changing the closure to be a more accurate reflection of the discussion. DreamGuy ( talk) 14:56, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
Please consider re-opening the AFDs for " Onward Muslim Soldiers" and " The Myth of Islamic Tolerance". 3 deletes against 3 keeps does not constitute consensus to keep, and certainly not a strong enough consensus for a non-admin closure. If there are reasons for discounting the delete votes, ie. if you believe they're not based in policy, it's incumbent on you to explain that in your close. – Roscelese ( talk ⋅ contribs) 15:19, 21 January 2012 (UTC)

But leaving the sort template just means that editors looking at debates in that category will end up wasting their time by checking in on a closed out debate. No worries, just an FYI. Thanks for the help! UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 21:14, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi there, There would appear to be many pages supporting this category. The charts are generally published monthly, with a different game every month since the early 1980s. There will be games that remain number one for several months, but that still leaves at least 250. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.175.37.100 ( talk) 07:33, 24 January 2012
Hello, I submitted this article and I have re written it so many times and tried to put as much information references etc up there and I'm starting to feel quite frustrated because there are other bands with far less references and have far less proof of notability. I am just really unsure as to what I am doing wrong to keep it getting rejected, If you could tell me specifically what I need to change that would be so helpful and I would be very grateful! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you, Lorcan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lorcanmce ( talk • contribs) 10:09, 24 January 2012

Phoenix International Raceway - B-class article
Phoenix International Raceway, also known as PIR, is a one-mile, low-banked tri-oval race track located in Avondale, Arizona. The track opened in 1964 and currently hosts two NASCAR race weekends annually. PIR has also hosted the Indycar Series, CART, USAC and the Rolex Sports Car Series. The raceway is currently owned and operated by International Speedway Corporation. The raceway was originally constructed with a 2.5 miles (4.0 km) road course that ran both inside and outside of the main tri-oval. In 1991 the track was reconfigured with the current 1.51 miles (2.43 km) interior layout. PIR has an estimated grandstand seating capacity of around 67,000. Lights were installed around the track in 2004 following the addition of a second annual NASCAR race weekend. Phoenix International Raceway is home to two annual NASCAR race weekends, one of 13 facilities on the NASCAR schedule to host more than one race weekend a year. The track is both the first and last stop on the West Coast, as well as the second and second-to-last track on the schedule.

Hello - if you want to remove all that information from my page - at least keep a record on the talk page? It took me a LOT of time to gather this info. Also, why did you remove it from the snooker template, and remove the template from the page? How would this tournament be categorized if it not a 'non-ranking' tournament?? Sandman30s ( talk) 12:27, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
I'm a little confused... ok, no. I'm completely stumped as to what you did on this article. TBH, I could have even seen you closing this as keep before your second relist, but to put it up for relist and then close it a few hours later after just two more keep !votes? What was that? If you're gonna relist it, why not let it run out? I'm not suggesting that it's gonna swing to delete, but that's a really odd close. Nolelover Talk· Contribs 00:18, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi, thanks for your work at AFD. Can you please take a look at WP:RELIST? It's not usual to relist AFDs endlessly in the hope that someone will come along, and anything beyond a second relisting should have a specific rationale given. If an AFD isn't getting participation, it should be closed as no consensus or soft delete (by an admin). Stifle ( talk) 17:30, 29 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi! You reviewed my "articles for creation". Can you please tell me where your review so that I may improve on the article and that I will be able to let someone review it to be an article. Thanks. 125.237.123.182 ( talk) 01:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust, I'm trying to organise Festivals. I'm come across Rideau Canal Festival. The result of the afd was to merge to Rideau Canal. Can you possible do this now? Thanks. Argolin ( talk) 03:43, 30 January 2012 (UTC)
Although your closure may be correct, it is controversial, as I (the nominator) and one other editor found no justification for inclusion, and only 2 other editors found any justification to keep, which I stated was contrary to guidelines. I ask that you reverse the closure and wait for an admin. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 09:05, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
Hi Armbrust. Thanks for closing the Mulan AfD and userfying the article. Just in case you wondered how I removed that Category:English-language films, see this (the nowiki tags, to be exactly). Cheers! theFace 20:40, 31 January 2012 (UTC)
WikiCup 2012 is off to a flying start. At the time of writing, we have 112 contestants; comparable to last year, but slightly fewer than 2010. Signups will remain open for another week, after which time they will be closed for this year. Our currrent far-away leader is Grapple X ( submissions), due mostly to his work on a slew of good articles about The X-Files; there remain many such articles waiting to be reviewed at good article candidates. Second place is currently held by Ruby2010 ( submissions), whose points come mostly from good articles about television episodes, although good article reviews, did you knows and an article about a baroness round out the score. In third place is Jivesh boodhun ( submissions), who has scored 200 points for his work on a single featured article, as well as points for work on others, mostly in the area of pop music. In all, nine users have 100 or more points. However, at the other end of the scale, there are still dozens of participants who are yet to score. Please remember to update your submission pages promptly!
The 64 highest scoring participants will advance to round 2 in a month's time. There, they will be split into eight random groups of eight. The score needed to reach the next round is not at all clear; last year, 8 points guaranteed a place. The year before, 20.
A few participants and their work warrant a mention for achieving "firsts" in this competition.
We are yet to see any featured lists, featured topics or good topics, but this is unsurprising; firstly, the nomination processes with each of these can take some time, and, secondly, it can take a considerable amount of time to work content to this level. In a similar vein, we have seen only one featured article. The requirement that content must have been worked on this year to be eligible means that we did not expect to see these at the start of the competition. No points have been claimed for featured portals or pictures, but these are not content types which are often claimed; the former has never made a big impact on the WikiCup, while the latter has not done so since 2009's competition.
A quick rules clarification before the regular notices: If you are concerned that another user is claiming points inappropriately, please contact a judge to take a look at the article. Competitors policing one another can create a bad atmosphere, and may lead to inconsistencies and mistakes. Rest assured that we, the judges, are making an effort to check submissions, but it is possible that we will miss something. On a loosely related note: If you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck!

Hi you seem to have some knowledge about cue sports. Someone added PoolMeister to this page and I can't find any references... do you know of such a tournament? Also, it would be appreciated if you could add some of the missing champions on this page... there is scant info before the 90's; seems we might have to resort to old magazines or scanned newspaper articles.

Hi, I noticed that you misunderstood from ALPG page that ANZ Ladies Masters (Currently Gold Coast RACV Australian Ladies Masters) had happened two times in 2011, one in February and one in March. I went to ALPG page and if you click 2010/2011 season, and if you see the date of ANZ Ladies Masters, the last one on the list, it is written as March 2-5, 2010. So the ANZ Ladies Masters did not happen in March 2011. The direct proof that ANZ Ladies Masters did not happen in March 2011 is that whom you had written as the runner-up of that event, Lee Bo-mee, participated in LPGA of Japan event Daikin Orchid Ladies, which was held through March 4-6. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThpRicky ( talk • contribs) 07:15, 5 February 2012

You didn't mention anything about the standard offer that some users mentioned. Also, it might be helpful to mention Fluttershy's willingness to undergo the "standard offer" process: [5], [6]. -- Michaeldsuarez ( talk) 20:50, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
"Only three editors advocate this option, while others, who are against the ban, doesn't [sic] mention this at all."
You recently proposed that this article be deleted. However, the article has been PRODed once before, but deletion was contested by the author, so policy dictates that the article cannot be re-PRODed. If you think that the article should be deleted, you need to take it to AfD. Favonian ( talk) 11:48, 7 February 2012 (UTC)

I hope your self inflicted break gave you a chance to get out of the house for the day! Keep up the amazing work with your stunning edits and winning personality. Sorry to see your prospective promotion to your "job" on wikipedia to be an admin was swiftly removed. Better luck next time - I'll be supporting you all the way because you truly are special on so many levels. All the best my friend :-) Spc 21 ( talk) 18:34, 11 February 2012 (UTC)
...A sincere apology, from my side, for ruining a clean block record... I've been feeling bad about this for a pretty long time and would want to tell you that my view about you as a brilliant editor and an extremely productive asset to Wikipedia hasn't changed a bit. I also wish to inform you that after a few months, perhaps before the next six months, if you're still open to considering my offer, I'll be more than pleased to nominate you as I had wanted earlier. I shall understand if you decline this offer, given the recent past, but I would strongly encourage you to look at the positives and contact me whenever you wish for any assistance you may desire. My kindest regards... and again, I'm sorry. Wifione Message 03:33, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I saw you added the Template "more footnotes" to 2011–12 ISU Speed Skating World Cup. All the results can be found on the ISUresults website, what are the extra footnotes you are looking for? - FakirNL ( talk) 23:41, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. I noticed that you moved the laws of Australian football to Australian rules football. Whilst this is probably ok from a disambiguation point, your edit summary of "this is the official name" is incorrect. Australian football is actually the official name of the sport but is not used often here due to the worldwide ambiguity that it has. The WP:COMMONNAME of Australian rules football is often used here to disambiguate it from football (any code) in Australia. Cheers The-Pope ( talk) 05:26, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I just saw that my request for image upload on "Apple Messages Application icon.png" was declined, with the explanation that the image is replaceable with a free one. However, it isn't the case, since the image is the specific icon of a computer software (that is, Apple Messages, for Mac OS X), intended to be used on the specific page of that specific software (that is Messages (application)). Such use of a computer software icon seems to be a common practice and appears to comply with the fair use principle. What should I do to have my request reevaluated?

Hey mate, I saw you put a non-free template on here. Obviously I removed it because non of the article is copyrighted but you undid it and said that it contains to many pictures. Anyway I just want to know, what do you want me to do. I tried making this page almost like other seasonal articles like 2012 Major League Soccer season which has a section which contains pictures of all of the stadiums that will be used during the season but instead of stadiums I want to use logos. I am just wondering, how is this wrong and how can I improve the article. I dont want to draw away people as this article will become more popular as it is recently in India.

Armbrust - I do not know what motivated you to remove the RFC tag from the Article title RFC. However, I have restored it. RFCs should run 30 days. I will close it when that happens. You may not like the way the RFC is worded or the ideas it contains, but you are free to not participate as well. Please allow others in the community to say their peace, whatever it may be.

Round 1 is already over! The 64 highest scorers have progressed to round 2. Our highest scorer was Grapple X ( submissions), again thanks mostly to a swathe of good articles on The X-Files. In second place was Tigerboy1966 ( submissions), thanks an impressive list of did you knows about racehorses. Both scored over 400 points. Following behind with over 300 points were Ruby2010 ( submissions), Cwmhiraeth ( submissions), Miyagawa ( submissions) and Casliber ( submissions). February also saw the competition's first featured list: List of colleges and universities in North Dakota, from Ruby2010 ( submissions). At the other end of the scale, 11 points was enough to secure a place in this round, and some contestants with 10 points made it into the round on a tiebreaker. This is higher than the 8 points that were needed last year, but lower than the 20 points required the year before. The number of points required to progress to round 3 will be significantly higher.
The remaining contestants have been split into 8 pools of 8, named A through H. Round two will finish in two months time on 28 April, when the two highest scorers in each pool, as well as the next 16 highest scorers, will progress to round 3. The pools were entirely random, so while some pools may end up being more competitive than others, this is by chance rather than design.
The judges would like to point out two quick rules reminders. First, any content promoted during the interim period (that is, on or after 27 February) is eligible for points in round 2. Second, any content worked on significantly this year is eligible for points if promoted in this round. On a related note, if you are concerned that your nomination, be it at good article candidates, a featured process or anywhere else, will not receive the necessary reviews, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews.
