Evv, Deiz, Calton and Luna Santin I really appreciate the help and support that you were doing lately on my articles but honestly there is no need for that. I would like to advise you people to take care for articles like Ratko Mladić, Mr. Slobodan Milosevic and others like them and help the general readers know the truth about their miserable massacres that they did to kids and insistent people in Bosnia and Kosovo .
There is not just Mr. Abazi’s article that has been vandalized by you but all the Kosovo famous and honorable people including the history of Kosovo. It has been so clear that all the editing that you people have done about that Country is just to make a bad propaganda now that finally Serbia will lose for ever Kosovo in its final status which for sure would be Independent country as it disserves.
I understand your feeling because you are grown in the communism system where everything was leaded by the dictator and you were their kids doing the same they did with people from Kosovo. Even now through the internet you wana talk about us believing in your fathers lies that Kosovo is yours. 7 is the century that we accepted you in that region to work, clean for us and 7 [2007] is gona be the number that you gona say Goodbye for ever to Kosovo. Listen people Wikipedia is free and you can create any network to put adds and protected your fake ideas but please put ones your finger in your head and ask your self how can this be yours when there was never more than 10% shkije - serbs in there And what right do you have to talk about it when you may have never been there and when the whole world knows that Kosova/o is not Slavic place . Tell your fathers that All the churches and abbeys where owned by chthonic Albanians before 1200 and Vatican has the property papers for that. Accept the truth.
For the end. There wouldn’t be any other respond on this desiccation page or any other like this from me. I just needed to tell you this. You can take it off if you feel like some none Balkan people will read this little truth. You do what you can to lie and I do what I can to tell the truth with my articles. Beni
I'm not sure I completely understand the comment you left on my talk page. I am pretty new to the 'New Page Patrol' and if I see something that looks suspiciously cut and pasted I stick the first few words of the article into Google and see what I come up with - if its positive then I copyvio it no matter what, even if the author claims to have permission from the site in question. Didn't realise there was anything more to it than that-- Edchilvers 17:04, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

You should realize that criterion A7 refers only to articles that don't explain the importance or significance of their subject at all. Articles that do explain significance or importance may not meet various notability criteria such as WP:BIO, WP:WEB, WP:MUSIC, et cetera, but failing to meet those criteria is not grounds for speedy deletion. You seem to have a bit of confusion on this point. Non-notable subjects shouldn't be deleted speedily if their importance is explained, because then it becomes a matter of opinion and some community involvement is important. Just a friendly reminder.

Smeelgova has smiled at you! Smiles promote WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by smiling to someone else, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. Smile to others by adding {{ subst:smile}}, {{ subst:smile2}} or {{ subst:smile3}} to their talk page with a friendly message. Happy editing!
Let's all try to get along better. Thank you for all of your informative commentary. Hope you are doing well, and have a good weekend. I'll probably be taking a short break because I've got ambulance training and filling in on a volunteer shift. Warmly Yours, Smeelgova 12:32, 20 October 2006 (UTC).
Hey Calton, I've been watching the Gene_poole/Centauri sideshow on Elonka's RfA. I just noticed that Taxman struck Centauri's !vote with the comment, "One per customer please." I don't know much about the situation, but do you think it would be worth listing at RFCU for vote-stacking? It seems a bit ridiculous that this has continued on and I think the links you posted where quite compelling. Cheers, Sarah Ewart ( Talk) 15:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Calton,
You marked an article which I have been developing as spam. I disagree!
There is a fine line between promoting a product (spam) and documenting a company which produces products (viable Wikipedia articles).
I began that article yeasterday and have improved it today. However, I had to request reinstatement of my work-in-progress.
I suggest that rather than jumping to the "spam" conclusion in the future, that you post your concerns at the discussion page, and or contact one or more of the major contributors.
I'm sure that you are zealously editing with the best of intentions, but please be respectful of other people's hard work.
Thanks.
Kevin
Why did you tag the article ? Just because of inclusion of "jaw-dropping" word ? You could've just deleted that word. Why tag the article ? Just read the full article. Where do you feel, it is like an advertisement. Don't sabotage other's hard work. By the way, Alex Machacek is a leading fusion guitarist and he is in no way related to me. Where does the idea of advert comes in ? I am removing the tag. If you have any issues, please tell me first. Don't tag articles just like that.

Hi, thanks for the comments. Please feel free to borrow the design. I love Johnston, great face. Is it the same face as that used on the London Underground? Scotland yard commissioned a proprietary face a few years back that owes much to Johnston, right down to diamond shaped dot on i and j. See you live in Tokyo. Great city, I have visited twice. Amazing. Will look for your newly formatted Johnston. Best, Jim CApitol3 01:36, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
P.S.: great printing museum in Tokyo, in ground floor of a beautiful contemporary building with a concert hall and offices above.
Before trying to advise others, first try to rectify your own attitude, kid. You were told the same thing by another editor. You should've learned from that. By the way, he has the skill of shifting from legato to scacatto easily and it isn't my POV. Critics and jazz greats like McLaughlin alike, and others have said so. So please don't go on tagging articles, just like that. -- N R S | T/ M\ B 04:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I told you to provide me the problems in the article. How can I know what the problem is before you specify. As far as the link you've provided is concerned, I am the sole editor so far, so whatever is the problem you think is, that must be edited by me. So please provide the specific problems. -- N R S | T/ M\ B 04:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Chill out Calton. It's okay. The article looks just fine to me. Grand master ka 05:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, my bad, the article has been improved since then (by New Rock Star.) But here's what you do next time: You fix the few offending sentences. Then there's no need to edit war over a tag and throw a HUGE hissy fit on the other editor's page. It seems pretty clear to me that the article is not being used for self-promotion, and it wouldn't have been hard to fix the POV. As for referencing -- well, most of the articles on Wikipedia need more references. I sometimes write articles before I add references. New Rock Star not only fixed the language in the introductory paragraph, he added a reference for some of the claims, and he is not owning the article, but reacting to the rude manner in shich you dealt with the situation. Like I said, cool down. Grand master ka 06:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for expressing an interest in my recent RfA. As a followup, I wanted to let you know that unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. My current plans are to continue contributing in a positive manner to Wikipedia, and if there is anything that I can do in the future to help further address your concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me. -- Elonka 10:53, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
It might be better to use a talk page, not an edit summary. [1] My rationale is the same as I have already expressed on the article talk page - She is known publicaly for nothing else, so including her name does not tell our readers anything, and invades the privacy of her family. Tom Harrison Talk 14:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
It's perfectly acceptable to move a vanity bio to a userpage, per WP:USERFY#What_can_be_userfied. I do it regularly, when the subject's name is the same as the editor's username or when the article refers to the subject as "I". I find that vanity articles that are userfied aren't re-created as freqently as articles that are simply speedily deleted. While the editor probably didn't intend to make a userpage instead of a vanity article, saying 'you must have done this by mistake' gives the new editor a slightly nicer welcome than "I've deleted your bio, now don't do it again!"
Where did you get the idea that this was innapropriate? -- Vary | Talk 15:26, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

The Starwood Festival is the most notable pagan event in the US. Any neo-pagan being a speaker or a performer at that festival is a significant event in their career and it deserves mention. Mattisse and her sock went around adding fact tags to every mention, which is why there are citation. Those are NOT commercial pages, but archives of past events.

I was really beginning to wonder what was going on around here regarding all the fierce protection of Rosencomet! I had concluded that Wikipedia was seriously corrupt. So, thank you for having ethics. And not being afraid to stand up for them. Mattisse (talk) 02:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
It's been my mission in life and you are the first person who has "gotten" it. Some people are crusaders -- that's me. You obviously are more level-headed and I admire that. But I have spent six months one way or another trying to draw the Rosencomet thing to someone's attention -- until I just gave up and felt hopeless. But when I gave up, my view of Wikipedia was seriously compromised. Still is. You don't have to accept my thanks. And you can call me paranoid or anything you want.

I haven't so far been able to confirm any of the IPs from Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yamanote Halloween Train which you listed at WP:OP as proxies. However, 221.187.93.210, which you didn't mention on WP:OP, is listed on dsbl.org as a socks5 proxy, and I have blocked it accordingly. (Also, 87.75.6.127 is a pretty odd case; I'm not quite sure how someone managed to edit Wikipedia from what appears to be DVR appliance.) — Ilmari Karonen ( talk) 17:05, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
Well done for tagging the Xicast userspam spampage. I was considering doing it along with all the rest of the stuff (which I did with nary a pang of conscience). I didn't know you could do it though - after scrutinising the CSD for all of a few minutes. ;) Bubba hot ep 00:29, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

With regards to your comments on User talk:Vfp15 about this user's "reading-comprehension problems": Please see Wikipedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption.

Do you remember him?
Something that I found on him at BoardGameGeek:
My recent experiences in SDG were terrible: I had a weird discussion on the *true* meaning of the word "simultaneous" as if there were just one truth, one *true* definition. This reminded me rather of the world view of religious cults who want to save you and who claim that just they can do it. This was followed in other threads by a deliberate misquotation to make me look ungrateful, and, instead of real arguments, the other side was called "ridiculous", "megalomanic" and "pseudo-intellectual". I got an e-mail that warned me against a "troll" who dominates all the discussions and, I should add, is permitted to insult everybody. I met him soon. There is an atmosphere of fear generated by the owner of the group who supports this kind of behavior and then exclude those from the SDG discussion forum who defend themselves. So, take care of yourself and keep a low profile if you chose to play there. If you want to know more, just write me privately, join the group stacking games at Yahoo! ( http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/stacking_games/ ) or just take a look at the recent discussions in SDG forums to see how this (pseudo-)community ticks; e.g. http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=427 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=429 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=431 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=434 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=436

You are like the cleaning firm that decides what furniture to throw out when cleaning dust. And then that you also bring your friends for a cleaning party and totally empty room after room does not look good even if you seam to enjoying your self like a King!
Maybe you should offer your services to CIA or simular organisations instead (heard that Google does)? -- Swedenborg 10:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Please leave this listed on RfC for now. This was listed as a formal step per WP:DE guideline.

Thanks.-- Isotope23 14:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Calton, There is no need for you to discrace this potentially great site by your seemingly asinine desire to rule everyone's life. Wikipedia does not need any person like you on this site to disgrace its good name. If I choose to write an autobiography, it is my wish, not yours. It is people like you who try to negate the ability of freedom of speech, which I am constitutionally protected to practice. Further, I feel you do not deserve the right to exhibit such tyrannical behavior. Please stop the nonsense, or I will be forced to take affirmative action, and see to your removal from Wikipedia, if possible. With justice,-- Dakltit 1:05 pm, 8 November, 2006
Calton, If you find it hard to grasp multi syllabic language, choose not to read it. They are not comprehensive, so I feel you should have no problem with them, seeing as you seem like a smart person. It is as simple as that. Last I checked, you did not have administrator privileges, so I find your that your personal opinions do not matter. I choose to submit information to this site. I agree with you that it was extremely nonsensical and completely useless to anyone. But why should that matter? If you really feel the need to be childish, go ahead and contact the administrators of this website. I could honestly care less. However, this will not change the ability of me being able to access Wikipedia and express myself on it. As you know, there are computers everywhere in this world, so it is hard to ban every IP address. I won't be so petty as to continue attempts at ruining a site like this, for the attempts would be nothing short of futile. Further, please forgive my narcissistic nature and seemingly apparent superiority complex. Perhaps I do not fully understand the rules of this site, and perhaps you have the upper hand in this debate. But I still find it painfully unethical to give people to power to deface or remove the work of other people without their consent, whether their articles are considered unuseful or anything else. Just on the side, do you get paid to edit articles and such? I have heard that people actually recieve payments for doing various things on Wikipedia. -- Dakltit 11:14 pm, 8 November, 2006
I don't have a lot of time to write this, but you seriously didn't get what I was talking about. I wasn't talking about my own article, I was talking about OTHER articles submitted by OTHER people, not mine. So, I'm going to leave you alone now, and it would be nice for you to leave me alone too. I know it's not in my nature to be nice, and I also know it probably isn't right to ask it of other people, but whatever. At this point, I don't really care. I'm not saying you won this debate by being right, I'm saying I give up because it's pointless. It gets me nowhere and benefits me in no way. So, yeah. -- Dakltit 6:53 am, 9 November, 2006

This is beyond the bound of civility. I'm not sure what the source of your irritation is, or why you're focusing on a total non-issue as opposed to the suggestions that you're wasting both your time and the time of everyone who participates in these MfDs. Just blank the pages and move on, really. Deletion doesn't save space or anything of the sort, and either the users will return or they won't. If they don't, it's a near-identical result. If they do, having deleted the page doesn't leave a space for a message as to why it's not appropiate use of userspace, or prevent them from re-creating the material in question. Concentrate on your goal a little bit more and the methods a little bit less, and you'll see that deletion is overkill. - 152.91.9.144 05:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Leave my private pages the hell alone. Each and every one was given to me by an administrator and if you bothered to note, some admins were actively involved in maintaining the integrity of one of the articles. Alyeska 06:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I told you to sod off. That is my private page. Removing unwanted edits by someone else is not vandalism by any stretch of the definition. These pages were allowed to me by MULTIPLE admins. Community consensus means sod all for my private pages. Alyeska 06:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Each and every one of those pages was created by admins. Several of those pages are works in progress to try and make the pages acceptable to Wiki rules. I was oh so joyfuly informed in a recent AFD that it is quite acceptable to save pages that were deleted into user spaces to allow for them to be updated and made acceptable so as to petition for undeletion. I think I will take the words of ADMINS over your pompous attitude of going about trying to get other peoples user pages deleted. Alyeska 06:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
No, your hiding behind policy in order to attack people personally and remove pages you don't like. Don't play games with me Calton. I know what your motives are. You aren't trying to improve Wikipedia and your attempting to force your opinion of things onto others. By going about attacking personal user pages you make a mockery of the rules I was told of. Looks real nice having the very pages I was promised to allow for improving and moving towards eventual undeletion suddenly deleted. Course it actually strengthens my position that Wikipedia is a failure. Alyeska 06:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Paranoid? You are trying to get one of my pages deleted. Furthermore, you supplied a "hit list" that includes every remaining personal page of mine. I'm not being paranoid. I am being realistic considering you are attacking every single thing that I have in my personal space. Your motives are highly suspect considering how strongly you are trying to get everything of mine deleted. Alyeska 07:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm a reasonably new Wikipedian, I've only been around for a couple of months. I came across the Red Guard Bob page that User:Dalt was building yesterday when monitoring new images. I went ahead and prod'ed it. I would have speedied it if I knew that was an option. You came by later and added the speedy tag.
I don't disagree with the deletion. I learned about {{ db-web}} and WP:VSCA because of it.
The minor problem that I do have is that I explained my understanding of the deletion process to Dalt on both Talk:Red Guard Bob and User talk:Dalt, and now his page is gone with no further explanation for a new editor.
I guess it boils down to wondering why you didn't put anything on Dalt's talk page to explain what was going on. ~ BigrTex 16:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for such high levels of contempt. I'm sorry for having taken the warning of an administrator seriously. How very wrong of me to assume that the policy as stated by an administrator and not corrected by others to be correct. How wrong of me to follow what I thought were the rules and how correct you were to condem me for having attempted to follow the rules. Alyeska 00:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
What, exactly, is the idea of moving Arpad Elo to a name nobody, ever, anywhere uses, outside an old Wikipedia listing and its clones. A move totally contrary to everything in Wikipedia:Naming conventions. A name totally contrary to common sense.
No, this is not another unilateral move. It is a longstanding article name, discussed without objection on the talk page. This is an American university professor and chess player, not known under any spelling other than "Arpad Elo" in any chess publications, not known under any spelling other than "Arpad Elo" in connection with his professorship at Marquette University.
He is best known for developing a chess ranking system. A system that is always, universally, everywhere in the world, known as the "Elo" system, though it is sometimes capitalized as the "ELO" system, often because people don't realize it is a person's name and mistakenly think it is an acronym.
Now, please move that back, or I will have to find the appropriate place for a complaint against your actions.
Can you cite any verifiable, reliable source showing that Arpad Elo ever used any other spelling, that he was ever known under any other spelling in any chess tournament, that he was ever known under any other spelling as a professor? I bet not. Gene Nygaard 05:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Man, I'm already seeing the train wreck coming. Hint: I'm not the one on the tracks.
Do you even know what "disambiguation" means?
Hi Calton,
With so many similar aticles being put up for speedy deletion, I think a group AfD is more appropriate to discuss these - the question really is: is a building notable just for being over 300m tall? If so, then starting a few stubs on them is fine. I'm not saying they necessairily are notable - but I think this sort of thing should be bought up to the community. -- Robdurbar 15:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
:::Well having read about the source I'm more inclined to agree with you. I still think that this is a very borderline decision though and would be happier with an AfD; it hurts no-one.
Robdurbar 16:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC) Actually screw it, you've convinced me, away they go... --
Robdurbar 16:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC) Well since you've relisted them, I'll let someone else decide. --
Robdurbar 16:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I have brought this situation to the deleting admins' attention, because I frankly think they (there were two of them, at least), didn't spend enough time thinking those issues through. Also, as you can see above, Robdurbar had doubts about these deletions. The bottom line is, if those are good articles, those would be good stubs to start from. There was basic information—enough to start on expansion—and a source; there's no way they could be called empty. The fact that these articles may not be notable in the end should not bias us towards deletion on unrelated grounds. -- SCZenz 05:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Can you explain to me how 868 Towers Offices and Hotel matches any of the following: "It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1), contains no content whatsoever (CSD A3), consists only of links elsewhere (CSD A3) or a rephrasing of the title (CSD A3)." It doesn't seem to me that I'm the one who's trying to redefine the criteria for speedy deletion. -- SCZenz 05:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

The links you provided stated: Most YouTube material is unsuitable for Wikipedia because:
Flattering as your implication may be, no, I have no connection whatsoever to Gia Farrell. I went to see Happy Feet, liked the song, looked her up, and came across the three original links (Atlantic, MySpace, YouTube). They all appeared to me to be official, legit, and each contributed something unique to informing me. I felt they could similarly inform others as they painted a thorough picture of the subject. Indeed, I had a very different view of her after seeing the "You'll Be Sorry (When You're Leaving)" ballad then I did viewing the initial pop song. -- StAkAr Karnak 00:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for listing those (I've deleted them as they're fairly uncontroversial). If any of them come back and object, I can reinstate the less vanity ones. I've been trying to discourage people from userfying vanity of users who obviously have no interest in contributing. I think we should get either a speedy deletion criterion or some tagging method for clearly abusive userpage that are used for advertising or vanity without contributing to the project. If we can tag such pages I can run WP:AWB to get rid of them on a regular basis. How did you find them? - Mgm| (talk) 11:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Memory Sports has got a HUGE article (marked as excellent) in the German wikipedia. The sport is more famous in Germany and Austria than in England or the USA, but it is not a small sport.

Hey Calton, when I blocked Swedenborg a few days ago, I gathered from your userpage that you can speak and read Japanese. Well, I just translated this article Tachu Naito and was wondering if you would like to double-check my translation and copy edit, ( -hints- this also applies to anyone else reading too of course). I need the most help with the references, I wasn't sure if I should leave them or translate, and wasn't sure if 正平調 from the Kobe Shimbun one was the author or the title and couldn't find a translation I liked either way. Also, I couldn't get 勲二等旭日重光章 - 旭日重 seemed like maybe a typo of 旭日章, I know it is an award but wasn't sure of the specifics. Anyway, maybe you would like to help with this?

Hi! Please explain where lies the difference between promotion and encyclopedic information. Or perhaps provide link to a guideline? For instance, there’s an article on Acronis. Thanks. User: Stardancer
Ehat the hell are you doing? Just because you have no interest in foreign film doesn't mean others don't have a right to learn about it!! SEE Aanai for God's sake. DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS BETTER THAN MINE AND WORTH LISTING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS THAT ARE NOT WORTH LISTING ACCORDING TO YOU WHICH ALREADY EXIST ON WIKIPEDIA WHEN THEY CAN BE EXPANDED LATER. DON'T BE SO ANGLO-CENTRIC. THIS ARTICLE HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO EXIST AS Casino Royale (1967 film). EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF FILM JUST DIFFERENT LANGUAGE. WHY SHOULD WIKIPEDIA ONLY HAVE NOTABLE AMERICAN FILMS. OTHER COUNTIRES HAVE LARGE FILM INDUSTRIES OF THERE OWN. THIS IS A GLOBAL ENCYCLOPEDIA WHERE PRODUCTS OF OTHER SOCIETIES SHOULD BE ALLOWED ONTO WIKIPEIDA/ SO STOP YOUR VANDALISM. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:15, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Look mate if mine is not notable believe me there a thousands already on wikipedia with less detail than mine. if no one cares about finnish films who cares about danish films, tamil language films and so on which people have added to wikipedia with far less detail than mine. I know lets just have American films on here. Are you biased against foreign films or that genre or what? try googling it and you will see the entires. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:21, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
OK I have picked a totally random article from swedish films They Call Us Misfits. OH yes what a brilliant article this is. THis of course is notable but mine with the cover and cast and plot details is not? Please just leave it will you. Ernst Stavro Blofeld 10:30, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
In answer to your question the point of it exactly is to provide information and knowledge to a reader anywhere on the planet about something they wouldn't know about if they hadn't visited wikipedia. Doesn't the sum of all human knowledge one of our key principles mean anything to you or are you happy to continue to attempt to remove peoples hard work? Wikipedia is not a directory yes I agree with you, the idea is to turn it from a directory into an encyclopedia entry which conveys information to the reader. Please don't bother me again.

If you looked at the edit history, I actually removed a speedy tag for it being a non-notable company {{ db-a7}}, not that it was a copyvio. I don't usually check that it's a copyvio (via a Google search) unless it looks rather suspicious, but thanks for picking that up. enochlau ( talk) 16:50, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Yes, it's a real town, though it's commonly mistaken as part of McKinleyville. My cousins live there and I was there last week on vacation. As mentioned in the article, it is a VERY small town, with no more than 500 people living there, and that's quite spread out (middle of the forest). Look at the Humboldt County article, and look under cities. The "notable Fieldbrookians" heading was meant as a joke when I was going to send them the page. Totally tricked my folks here at home. However, the rest of the article is factual...I really should label it as a stub about California though...
Good to see someone's cleaning up Wikipedia though.
Thanks,
-Matthias01
FOLLOW-UP:
Like I mentioned, it's generally just McKinleyville; shares the same postal code, office, highschool, etc...just a small little town in the middle of the woods (dirt/graded roads, houses are in clearings). Also, it was previously a red-highlighted article under the Humbodlt County entry, so I took the liberty of creating a small article as I have a connection to the place.
Greetings! I noticed you replaced an "unsourced" tag after I cited IMDb on Agentti 000 ja kuoleman kurvit and removed the tag. Though you may personally have a higher standard, IMDb is generally accepted as a source for WP film articles. Please suggest an alternative if possible; otherwise, please go with the flow and allow IMDb to be used. Thanks - Her Pegship 19:43, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
Off Topic is a podcast i mentioned their MySpace as a website in the userbox, and that can be changed to the Gcast site, but they are not soley a blog, I insistantly request you reverse this immediatley. i'm sorry for the confusion i may have caused, and will fix it, if you would please just rv the deletion. Thank you. PS: please READ articles before you delete them next time. Ganfon 02:43, 2 December 2006 (UTC)
Then you have alot of deleting to do...see the category for audio podcasts, or just podcasts, or video podcasts. Any will do. Perhaps that particular code needs to be reversed, because I'm going to rough estimate that there are about 50-60 podcasts that have wikis Ganfon 02:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Evv, Deiz, Calton and Luna Santin I really appreciate the help and support that you were doing lately on my articles but honestly there is no need for that. I would like to advise you people to take care for articles like Ratko Mladić, Mr. Slobodan Milosevic and others like them and help the general readers know the truth about their miserable massacres that they did to kids and insistent people in Bosnia and Kosovo .
There is not just Mr. Abazi’s article that has been vandalized by you but all the Kosovo famous and honorable people including the history of Kosovo. It has been so clear that all the editing that you people have done about that Country is just to make a bad propaganda now that finally Serbia will lose for ever Kosovo in its final status which for sure would be Independent country as it disserves.
I understand your feeling because you are grown in the communism system where everything was leaded by the dictator and you were their kids doing the same they did with people from Kosovo. Even now through the internet you wana talk about us believing in your fathers lies that Kosovo is yours. 7 is the century that we accepted you in that region to work, clean for us and 7 [2007] is gona be the number that you gona say Goodbye for ever to Kosovo. Listen people Wikipedia is free and you can create any network to put adds and protected your fake ideas but please put ones your finger in your head and ask your self how can this be yours when there was never more than 10% shkije - serbs in there And what right do you have to talk about it when you may have never been there and when the whole world knows that Kosova/o is not Slavic place . Tell your fathers that All the churches and abbeys where owned by chthonic Albanians before 1200 and Vatican has the property papers for that. Accept the truth.
For the end. There wouldn’t be any other respond on this desiccation page or any other like this from me. I just needed to tell you this. You can take it off if you feel like some none Balkan people will read this little truth. You do what you can to lie and I do what I can to tell the truth with my articles. Beni
I'm not sure I completely understand the comment you left on my talk page. I am pretty new to the 'New Page Patrol' and if I see something that looks suspiciously cut and pasted I stick the first few words of the article into Google and see what I come up with - if its positive then I copyvio it no matter what, even if the author claims to have permission from the site in question.

You should realize that criterion A7 refers only to articles that don't explain the importance or significance of their subject at all. Articles that do explain significance or importance may not meet various notability criteria such as WP:BIO, WP:WEB, WP:MUSIC, et cetera, but failing to meet those criteria is not grounds for speedy deletion. You seem to have a bit of confusion on this point. Non-notable subjects shouldn't be deleted speedily if their importance is explained, because then it becomes a matter of opinion and some community involvement is important. Just a friendly reminder.

Hey Calton, I've been watching the Gene_poole/Centauri sideshow on Elonka's RfA. I just noticed that Taxman struck Centauri's !vote with the comment, "One per customer please." I don't know much about the situation, but do you think it would be worth listing at RFCU for vote-stacking? It seems a bit ridiculous that this has continued on and I think the links you posted where quite compelling. Cheers, Sarah Ewart ( Talk) 15:58, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
Calton,
You marked an article which I have been developing as spam. I disagree!
There is a fine line between promoting a product (spam) and documenting a company which produces products (viable Wikipedia articles).
I began that article yeasterday and have improved it today. However, I had to request reinstatement of my work-in-progress.
I suggest that rather than jumping to the "spam" conclusion in the future, that you post your concerns at the discussion page, and or contact one or more of the major contributors.
I'm sure that you are zealously editing with the best of intentions, but please be respectful of other people's hard work.
Thanks.
Kevin
Why did you tag the article ? Just because of inclusion of "jaw-dropping" word ? You could've just deleted that word. Why tag the article ? Just read the full article. Where do you feel, it is like an advertisement. Don't sabotage other's hard work. By the way, Alex Machacek is a leading fusion guitarist and he is in no way related to me. Where does the idea of advert comes in ? I am removing the tag. If you have any issues, please tell me first. Don't tag articles just like that.

Before trying to advise others, first try to rectify your own attitude, kid. You were told the same thing by another editor. You should've learned from that. By the way, he has the skill of shifting from legato to scacatto easily and it isn't my POV. Critics and jazz greats like McLaughlin alike, and others have said so. So please don't go on tagging articles, just like that. -- N R S | T/ M\ B 04:05, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
I told you to provide me the problems in the article. How can I know what the problem is before you specify. As far as the link you've provided is concerned, I am the sole editor so far, so whatever is the problem you think is, that must be edited by me. So please provide the specific problems. -- N R S | T/ M\ B 04:34, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Chill out Calton. It's okay. The article looks just fine to me. Grand master ka 05:35, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, my bad, the article has been improved since then (by New Rock Star.) But here's what you do next time: You fix the few offending sentences. Then there's no need to edit war over a tag and throw a HUGE hissy fit on the other editor's page. It seems pretty clear to me that the article is not being used for self-promotion, and it wouldn't have been hard to fix the POV. As for referencing -- well, most of the articles on Wikipedia need more references. I sometimes write articles before I add references. New Rock Star not only fixed the language in the introductory paragraph, he added a reference for some of the claims, and he is not owning the article, but reacting to the rude manner in shich you dealt with the situation. Like I said, cool down. Grand master ka 06:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

It might be better to use a talk page, not an edit summary. [1] My rationale is the same as I have already expressed on the article talk page - She is known publicaly for nothing else, so including her name does not tell our readers anything, and invades the privacy of her family. Tom Harrison Talk 14:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)
It's perfectly acceptable to move a vanity bio to a userpage, per WP:USERFY#What_can_be_userfied. I do it regularly, when the subject's name is the same as the editor's username or when the article refers to the subject as "I". I find that vanity articles that are userfied aren't re-created as freqently as articles that are simply speedily deleted. While the editor probably didn't intend to make a userpage instead of a vanity article, saying 'you must have done this by mistake' gives the new editor a slightly nicer welcome than "I've deleted your bio, now don't do it again!"

Do you remember him?
Something that I found on him at BoardGameGeek:
My recent experiences in SDG were terrible: I had a weird discussion on the *true* meaning of the word "simultaneous" as if there were just one truth, one *true* definition. This reminded me rather of the world view of religious cults who want to save you and who claim that just they can do it. This was followed in other threads by a deliberate misquotation to make me look ungrateful, and, instead of real arguments, the other side was called "ridiculous", "megalomanic" and "pseudo-intellectual". I got an e-mail that warned me against a "troll" who dominates all the discussions and, I should add, is permitted to insult everybody. I met him soon. There is an atmosphere of fear generated by the owner of the group who supports this kind of behavior and then exclude those from the SDG discussion forum who defend themselves. So, take care of yourself and keep a low profile if you chose to play there. If you want to know more, just write me privately, join the group stacking games at Yahoo! ( http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/stacking_games/ ) or just take a look at the recent discussions in SDG forums to see how this (pseudo-)community ticks; e.g. http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=427 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=429 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=431 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=434 http://forums.superdupergames.org/viewtopic.php?t=436

Haha, what the hell? This new world of wikipedia seems very strange to me. Anyway, I don't really get this, the references are there. Have you heard of EVERY signle person on wikipedia? Please leave this one up, he is known for being a key player in the domain name industry, a young ecclectic entrepreneur who has helped out others, and an philanthropist for the arts as well. Take my advice, leave it up, he'd only become more noteable : ) -- Utzchips 19:31, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
Hello, it was established earlier today by other admins that Brad Hines is noteworthy enough. He seems uninteresting because there is so little information on domaining on wikipedia. We are changing that. Please leave this entry alone.

Calton,
You are like the cleaning firm that decides what furniture to throw out when cleaning dust. And then that you also bring your friends for a cleaning party and totally empty room after room does not look good even if you seam to enjoying your self like a King!
Maybe you should offer your services to CIA or simular organisations instead (heard that Google does)? -- Swedenborg 10:01, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
Please leave this listed on RfC for now. This was listed as a formal step per WP:DE guideline. I don't consider it much of an issue either, but I want to establish firm consensus in case I have to move to the next step with the editor who is continually adding this Merge tag. Thanks.-- Isotope23 14:32, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Calton, There is no need for you to discrace this potentially great site by your seemingly asinine desire to rule everyone's life. Wikipedia does not need any person like you on this site to disgrace its good name. If I choose to write an autobiography, it is my wish, not yours. It is people like you who try to negate the ability of freedom of speech, which I am constitutionally protected to practice. Further, I feel you do not deserve the right to exhibit such tyrannical behavior. Please stop the nonsense, or I will be forced to take affirmative action, and see to your removal from Wikipedia, if possible. With justice,-- Dakltit 1:05 pm, 8 November, 2006
Calton, If you find it hard to grasp multi syllabic language, choose not to read it. They are not comprehensive, so I feel you should have no problem with them, seeing as you seem like a smart person. It is as simple as that. Last I checked, you did not have administrator privileges, so I find your that your personal opinions do not matter. I choose to submit information to this site. I agree with you that it was extremely nonsensical and completely useless to anyone. But why should that matter? If you really feel the need to be childish, go ahead and contact the administrators of this website. I could honestly care less. However, this will not change the ability of me being able to access Wikipedia and express myself on it. As you know, there are computers everywhere in this world, so it is hard to ban every IP address. I won't be so petty as to continue attempts at ruining a site like this, for the attempts would be nothing short of futile. Further, please forgive my narcissistic nature and seemingly apparent superiority complex. Perhaps I do not fully understand the rules of this site, and perhaps you have the upper hand in this debate. But I still find it painfully unethical to give people to power to deface or remove the work of other people without their consent, whether their articles are considered unuseful or anything else. Just on the side, do you get paid to edit articles and such? I have heard that people actually recieve payments for doing various things on Wikipedia. -- Dakltit 11:14 pm, 8 November, 2006
I don't have a lot of time to write this, but you seriously didn't get what I was talking about. I wasn't talking about my own article, I was talking about OTHER articles submitted by OTHER people, not mine. So, I'm going to leave you alone now, and it would be nice for you to leave me alone too. I know it's not in my nature to be nice, and I also know it probably isn't right to ask it of other people, but whatever. At this point, I don't really care. I'm not saying you won this debate by being right, I'm saying I give up because it's pointless. It gets me nowhere and benefits me in no way. So, yeah. -- Dakltit 6:53 am, 9 November, 2006
I've nominated the article Liza Wright for deletion under the Articles for deletion process. I am notifying you because of your previous involvement in the editing of this article. I do not feel that Liza Wright satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and I have explained why in the nomination space (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on the matter are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Liza Wright. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them. You are free to edit the content of Liza Wright during the discussion, but please do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top). Doing so will not end the discussion.

Hey, thanks for backing me up on the article about the eskimo hunter. I tagged it for speedy deletion, and then for some bizarre reason some editors strarted treating it like a serious article. Glad to see someone else has some sense. Tractorkingsfan 01:06, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

This is beyond the bound of civility. I'm not sure what the source of your irritation is, or why you're focusing on a total non-issue as opposed to the suggestions that you're wasting both your time and the time of everyone who participates in these MfDs. Just blank the pages and move on, really. Deletion doesn't save space or anything of the sort, and either the users will return or they won't. If they don't, it's a near-identical result. If they do, having deleted the page doesn't leave a space for a message as to why it's not appropiate use of userspace, or prevent them from re-creating the material in question. Concentrate on your goal a little bit more and the methods a little bit less, and you'll see that deletion is overkill. - 152.91.9.144 05:44, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Leave my private pages the hell alone. Each and every one was given to me by an administrator and if you bothered to note, some admins were actively involved in maintaining the integrity of one of the articles. Alyeska 06:16, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
I told you to sod off. That is my private page. Removing unwanted edits by someone else is not vandalism by any stretch of the definition. These pages were allowed to me by MULTIPLE admins. Community consensus means sod all for my private pages. Alyeska 06:27, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Each and every one of those pages was created by admins. Several of those pages are works in progress to try and make the pages acceptable to Wiki rules. I was oh so joyfuly informed in a recent AFD that it is quite acceptable to save pages that were deleted into user spaces to allow for them to be updated and made acceptable so as to petition for undeletion. I think I will take the words of ADMINS over your pompous attitude of going about trying to get other peoples user pages deleted. Alyeska 06:36, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
No, your hiding behind policy in order to attack people personally and remove pages you don't like. Don't play games with me Calton. I know what your motives are. You aren't trying to improve Wikipedia and your attempting to force your opinion of things onto others. By going about attacking personal user pages you make a mockery of the rules I was told of. Looks real nice having the very pages I was promised to allow for improving and moving towards eventual undeletion suddenly deleted. Course it actually strengthens my position that Wikipedia is a failure. Alyeska 06:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Paranoid? You are trying to get one of my pages deleted. Furthermore, you supplied a "hit list" that includes every remaining personal page of mine. I'm not being paranoid. I am being realistic considering you are attacking every single thing that I have in my personal space. Your motives are highly suspect considering how strongly you are trying to get everything of mine deleted. Alyeska 07:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm a reasonably new Wikipedian, I've only been around for a couple of months. I came across the Red Guard Bob page that User:Dalt was building yesterday when monitoring new images. I went ahead and prod'ed it. I would have speedied it if I knew that was an option. You came by later and added the speedy tag.
I don't disagree with the deletion. I learned about {{ db-web}} and WP:VSCA because of it.
The minor problem that I do have is that I explained my understanding of the deletion process to Dalt on both Talk:Red Guard Bob and User talk:Dalt, and now his page is gone with no further explanation for a new editor.
I guess it boils down to wondering why you didn't put anything on Dalt's talk page to explain what was going on. ~ BigrTex 16:30, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for such high levels of contempt. I'm sorry for having taken the warning of an administrator seriously. How very wrong of me to assume that the policy as stated by an administrator and not corrected by others to be correct. How wrong of me to follow what I thought were the rules and how correct you were to condem me for having attempted to follow the rules. Alyeska 00:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
What, exactly, is the idea of moving Arpad Elo to a name nobody, ever, anywhere uses, outside an old Wikipedia listing and its clones. A move totally contrary to everything in Wikipedia:Naming conventions. A name totally contrary to common sense.
No, this is not another unilateral move. It is a longstanding article name, discussed without objection on the talk page. This is an American university professor and chess player, not known under any spelling other than "Arpad Elo" in any chess publications, not known under any spelling other than "Arpad Elo" in connection with his professorship at Marquette University.
He is best known for developing a chess ranking system. A system that is always, universally, everywhere in the world, known as the "Elo" system, though it is sometimes capitalized as the "ELO" system, often because people don't realize it is a person's name and mistakenly think it is an acronym.
Now, please move that back, or I will have to find the appropriate place for a complaint against your actions.
Can you cite any verifiable, reliable source showing that Arpad Elo ever used any other spelling, that he was ever known under any other spelling in any chess tournament, that he was ever known under any other spelling as a professor? I bet not. Gene Nygaard 05:15, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Man, I'm already seeing the train wreck coming. Hint: I'm not the one on the tracks.
Do you even know what "disambiguation" means?
Hi Calton,
With so many similar aticles being put up for speedy deletion, I think a group AfD is more appropriate to discuss these - the question really is: is a building notable just for being over 300m tall? If so, then starting a few stubs on them is fine. I'm not saying they necessairily are notable - but I think this sort of thing should be bought up to the community. -- Robdurbar 15:30, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
:::Well having read about the source I'm more inclined to agree with you. I still think that this is a very borderline decision though and would be happier with an AfD; it hurts no-one.
Robdurbar 16:01, 24 November 2006 (UTC) Actually screw it, you've convinced me, away they go... --
Robdurbar 16:02, 24 November 2006 (UTC) Well since you've relisted them, I'll let someone else decide. --
Robdurbar 16:06, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
I have brought this situation to the deleting admins' attention, because I frankly think they (there were two of them, at least), didn't spend enough time thinking those issues through. Also, as you can see above, Robdurbar had doubts about these deletions. The bottom line is, if those are good articles, those would be good stubs to start from. There was basic information—enough to start on expansion—and a source; there's no way they could be called empty. The fact that these articles may not be notable in the end should not bias us towards deletion on unrelated grounds. -- SCZenz 05:03, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
Can you explain to me how 868 Towers Offices and Hotel matches any of the following: "It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1), contains no content whatsoever (CSD A3), consists only of links elsewhere (CSD A3) or a rephrasing of the title (CSD A3)."

The links you provided stated: Most YouTube material is unsuitable for Wikipedia because:
Flattering as your implication may be, no, I have no connection whatsoever to Gia Farrell. I went to see Happy Feet, liked the song, looked her up, and came across the three original links (Atlantic, MySpace, YouTube). They all appeared to me to be official, legit, and each contributed something unique to informing me. I felt they could similarly inform others as they painted a thorough picture of the subject. Indeed, I had a very different view of her after seeing the "You'll Be Sorry (When You're Leaving)" ballad then I did viewing the initial pop song. -- StAkAr Karnak 00:54, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for listing those (I've deleted them as they're fairly uncontroversial). If any of them come back and object, I can reinstate the less vanity ones. I've been trying to discourage people from userfying vanity of users who obviously have no interest in contributing. I think we should get either a speedy deletion criterion or some tagging method for clearly abusive userpage that are used for advertising or vanity without contributing to the project. If we can tag such pages I can run WP:AWB to get rid of them on a regular basis. How did you find them? - Mgm| (talk) 11:28, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Hey Calton, when I blocked Swedenborg a few days ago, I gathered from your userpage that you can speak and read Japanese. Well, I just translated this article Tachu Naito and was wondering if you would like to double-check my translation and copy edit, ( -hints- this also applies to anyone else reading too of course). I need the most help with the references, I wasn't sure if I should leave them or translate, and wasn't sure if 正平調 from the Kobe Shimbun one was the author or the title and couldn't find a translation I liked either way. Also, I couldn't get 勲二等旭日重光章 - 旭日重 seemed like maybe a typo of 旭日章, I know it is an award but wasn't sure of the specifics. Anyway, maybe you would like to help with this?

Ehat the hell are you doing? Just because you have no interest in foreign film doesn't mean others don't have a right to learn about it!! SEE Aanai for God's sake. DO YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS BETTER THAN MINE AND WORTH LISTING. THERE ARE THOUSANDS THAT ARE NOT WORTH LISTING ACCORDING TO YOU WHICH ALREADY EXIST ON WIKIPEDIA WHEN THEY CAN BE EXPANDED LATER. DON'T BE SO ANGLO-CENTRIC. THIS ARTICLE HAS AS MUCH RIGHT TO EXIST AS Casino Royale (1967 film). EXACTLY THE SAME KIND OF FILM JUST DIFFERENT LANGUAGE.

In answer to your question the point of it exactly is to provide information and knowledge to a reader anywhere on the planet about something they wouldn't know about if they hadn't visited wikipedia. Doesn't the sum of all human knowledge one of our key principles mean anything to you or are you happy to continue to attempt to remove peoples hard work?

Yes, it's a real town, though it's commonly mistaken as part of McKinleyville. My cousins live there and I was there last week on vacation. As mentioned in the article, it is a VERY small town, with no more than 500 people living there, and that's quite spread out (middle of the forest). Look at the Humboldt County article, and look under cities. The "notable Fieldbrookians" heading was meant as a joke when I was going to send them the page. Totally tricked my folks here at home. However, the rest of the article is factual...I really should label it as a stub about California though...
Good to see someone's cleaning up Wikipedia though.
Thanks,
-Matthias01
FOLLOW-UP:
Like I mentioned, it's generally just McKinleyville; shares the same postal code, office, highschool, etc...just a small little town in the middle of the woods (dirt/graded roads, houses are in clearings). Also, it was previously a red-highlighted article under the Humbodlt County entry, so I took the liberty of creating a small article as I have a connection to the place.
