Hi, just wanted to thank you for saving the article I was writing from speedy deletion.
Cheers, Trixie1127 ( talk) 00:40, 7 January 2009 (UTC)Trixie1127
Thank you for your help and editing. I see I've got quite a learning curve ahead of me. But I'll get there. Having somebody show enough patience to fix my mistakes is a great motivator.
Cheers, Trixie1127 ( talk) 03:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)Trixie1127
Another good link about sources is Wikipedia:Reliable sources, which states that Wikipedia articles should use reliable, third-party, published sources. Remember to keep this in mind when you are researching an article. Sources from Myspace and most blogging sites are not reliable sources and should not be used in Wikipedia articles. Also, using "third-party sources" means that the article should not solely rely on sources that originate from the company/organization that the article is about.
Only "third-party sources" confirm an article's notability. Otherwise, the article may be deleted, so make sure that the article asserts notability before submitting it.
Some good websites to search for news articles to source an article are: Google News and Google News Archive, AccessMyLibrary, and Factiva. Google Books is a nice website that stores all kinds of books from many different authors and is a valuable researching/sourcing tool.
Also, to prevent hasty new page patrollers from tagging your unfinished new articles for speedy deletion, you should store them in User:Trixie1127/Sandbox, your sandbox, until they are ready to be moved to article space.
Good luck with article building! Feel free to ask me further questions if you get confused about anything. Take care, Cunard ( talk) 06:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Why have you placed so many speedy deletion templates on talk pages? I see you quote WP:DENY in all of them - how does this apply? We are not categorising the talk pages into CAT:GRAWP or CAT:EPIC VANDALS or anything like that. The pages will be deleted after a month or so anyway as talk pages of indefinitely blocked users, so this seems redundant. Matty ( talk) 09:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
Just a friendly comment, your statement asking if I have read the article in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eng-tips.com might be considered by some as uncivil. You may want to consider removing it. ttonyb1 ( talk) 18:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the nice comments on the article I started about eng-tips.com. I had posted four previous versions of the article that were all speedily deleted. When I wrote to the people who deleted the articles, all were mum and wouldn't explain what needed to be done differently to make the article acceptable. Everyone simply labelled me as a spammer and one who was incredibly ignorant of Wikipedia's rules (which I am). I simply think that adding an article about eng-tips.com makes sense for Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lgmagone ( talk • contribs) 18:17, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

You
marked a page for speedy deletion with the description "Bot error." Though the comment clearly did need to be moved or deleted, and the page probably qualified for speedy deletion under A6 G6, I don't understand why you would blame it on the bot (the bot appears to have no other problems, so it seems likely that it was user error).

I had marked the Pranab Das article for deletion because it seemed to be a test, irrelevant of the subject matter. It does not seem to be a discussion or attempt at an article about the person, and (even though I can't find the source material) could be copyright infringement. I have posted some cleanup templates instead, but I will be checking back on the article to see if it changes or improves.-- Jakebathman ( talk) 09:20, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a
speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{
hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.
This is a cut and dry case according to WP:POLITICIAN. Please read the discussion page before removing a SD tag as you're not an administrator. In case you need clarifying of the reason he doesn't qualify under WP:POLITICIAN; as a county commissioner, he's considered a second-level sub-national politician when first-level sub-national is the cut off.

Odd; I could have sworn I'd blocked the user, and when I checked one of the links in your report to verify and got an error message that the user wasn't registered, so I assumed that's why the bot hadn't removed the report.

You rushed to remove the tags that I placed in articles about Miss Dominican Republic pagents from the years 1927 to 1955, based on fast search you did in the Internet and placing a link that clearly states that it was copied from Wikipedia. To the best of my knowledge that is not a source, right?
All information found in the internet about this subject is copied from Wikipedia and done by the same author.
Before I tag those articles, I reseached for about a months. I called the Dominican Tourist Office in Santo Domingo, and spoke to a person who has covered the beauty pageants in the past and who has access to their history. I consulted the oldest newspaper records available in Dominican Republic and there are no information nor records of Beauty pagents those years. Please be more careful before removing a tag. -- Juliaaltagracia ( talk) 16:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you both
What motivated me to participate as an editor in Wikipedia, was that I was searching information for the Miss Domininican Republic 1969, for which I was one of the contestants. I found the page, and was surprised to see that the whole article was an invention of this person. The names did not match, the date and place of the event all were made up. I changed the information and provided a reputable link in the edit summary. I also provided images and newspaper clip, to prevent this person to change back the information. I have also noted that User: MDRU08 not only invents information about pageants, but also about geographical subjects. He changes the names of Provinces. Beacuse of the large quantity of bad articles he has created it is to much work to be done. Please see MRDU08 (talk · contribs)page to see debates about his pattern of invented information. -- Juliaaltagracia ( talk) 01:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I agree with this move, however you might want to consider protecting. There's a certain user who's hell bent on reverting it because it's not where he thinks it should be re-directed, which is the only reason the AfD is still open. Don't have to, just food for thought before you get reverted. Have a good day! StarM 12:11, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Hi Cunard, first I wanted to thank you so much for editing my page so it won't be deleted. I must say, it's not as easy as i thought to post articles on wikipedia..which is good cause this way I learn how that works.
Now, getting back to the HFMA page, I would like to expand and add few other stuff, how do i do that? when i click on [edit] i can only see the external links, not the content where I want to add to it...can u please help me a bit on that?

Dear Cunard, thank you for removing the speedy deletion tag from my article which was posted by another fellow by the name Orangemike. I was extemly disappointed and confused. I am new to this site and while this is my 1st article (which BTW I have thoroughly followed the Wikipedia policies) I have already been ordered to do too many edits that I couldn't possible count with my fingers. Hence my extrem happiness and gratitude for your kindness. I had added a post on Orangemike's talk page questioning his decision of "speedy Delete Tag" my article. And here I am saved by you. I just want to past in here my debate pointers that I was about to send him which I wish to also run by you as well, since it seems you obvioulsy appreciate my work.
1)Neutral point of view: representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias I am merely telling his biography. The only area that was slightly non-neutral was in a quote of Ali Mirzad; the person that the article is about..which I have filtered.
2)Verifiability: whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations All info in my article are there with a verifiable concrete official source (which are all BTW listed there)
3)No original research: Wikipedia does not publish original research or original thought. This includes unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas My article is full in compliance with this point as well. It is a Biographical article about a living politician.
4) a)Biographies of living persons: must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid paper; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives My article is about a living Politician currently in office. A person that has written a book about stopping the ethnic cleansing of the Hazaras (native people of Afghanistan, now a minority). He is the 1st Afghan part of the new generation that grew up abroad in Canada and chose to volunteer to work for free for the liberation of his people. He is also the youngest Afghan Politician at 27 years of age.
The article is short, concise and to the point. It doesn’t contain his hobbies, favorite food or any such thing. It has only his short bio (past-present) education and Political role and aspirations. The article is propaganda and discrimination free.
b) People who are relatively unknown ("non-public figures") :Wikipedia also contains biographies of people who, while notable enough for an entry, are not generally well known. In such cases, exercise restraint and include only material relevant to their notability, while omitting information that is irrelevant to the subject's notability. My article is about a new politician notable for his peacfull cause of fighting the oppression of an entire ethnic group (the Hazaras). He is also notable for the book he has written which has been widely printed in the Afghanistan and Iran. As explained above, the article is STRICTLY focused on his short biography. And all info is clearly sourced. -- AfghanGov ( talk) 22:08, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

I ran across this article by accident. I'm having trouble with proving notability and wanted to see if you could take a crack at it. She's had a little bit of coverage but not much outside of The Boston Globe. The only other coverage mentions the name Anne Heaton as being the winner of a talent competition put on by Jewel (put those refs on the talk page). There was also some info up earlier but it was all refed with Facebook and a bot took it down. As it stands, the article may or may not claim notability and I don't think the 2 refs I added would make it through an AfD. OlYeller Talktome 23:07, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

Would you reconsider your edit and vote in merging the article of Charis School into the article of Marikina City be reverted? The article of Marikina City is about the local government per se. Coverage of the article of Marikina City about education should be of the Public schools in their area. Charis School is a private school and is regulated by The Dept. of Education. Its organizational structure does not follow that of the US where it is categorized under the municipality or school district. Thanks Xapis ( talk) 12:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Can you review your decision to remove the speedy tag on this article? I believe it was based on a false premise. There is indeed currently a Wikipedia article for the series this author wrote, but the article cites no third party sources to indicate that the series is in actuality notable. (and in any case, notability is not inherited. there is no specific third party coverage of the author herself.) -- The Red Pen of Doom 23:38, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I did decline your request for speedy deletion. The reason being is because while the user did provide information about themselves (assuming it's true), the information provide is not highly revealing. If the user had provided more revealing information, such as, but not limited to, a facebook/myspace account, home address and/or phone number, then the page would certainly be deleted and oversight would have been requested. I hope that helps explain it. Cheers, Icestorm815 • Talk 05:17, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

CSD-A7 doesn't apply to temples, you say. That's true. I did, however, not realize it was an article on a temple! Haha. It came up on a list of uncategorized BLPs and I couldn't figure out what it was talking about. It started out like it was talking about a man, so... I don't know. I even asked three other editors, including two admins, and we were left looking like o_O. Terribly written article, but notable nonetheless. Knowing it's a temple, it makes more sense.

If you see an article tagged for speedy, and you think it wrongly tagged, it is totally in order to remove the tag. You've been doing this, and you've been doing right,. It's at your option then whether or not to nominate for deletion via another process. Of course, if it really does need to be deleted, it helps to keep the process moving. as long as you do it in a constructive way, anyone who blames you for it is wrong. Refer them to WP:CSD "The creator of a page may not remove a Speedy Delete tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. " That's any editor, not just admins. .

I have to object to the deletion of SimApp. It is a valid simulation language, and has appropriate references. It is more well known in Europe as you may see from the references in German and French control books. But it has also been documented in a book that includes modeling languages for education in the US. There are many other simulation software packages that have similar descriptions in the Wikipedia, and these are important to readers. Examples are Matlab, Simulink, Maplesim, Vissim, ACSL, to name a few. So I have offered to "userfy" this posting. Please tell me what would is different about these and would make this posting pass your criteria and it can be fixed.
So my conclusion is that this amounts to censorship. I would much prefer to see some censorship of sexual perversions that are so luridly treated in Wikipedia. That is only my opinion, however. I'm pushing on this because Wikipedia should be more tilted to users' ability to find complete information. Zoomzoom1 ( talk) 17:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Hugh Wilson. Note that the
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the
three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be
blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a
consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue
dispute resolution. --

You removed my speedy from Cyborg Cop, saying "films cannot be speedied under A7" Can you elucidate, or direct me to "A7?" (If A7 is frequently used as you use it, consider adding a note to the disambiguation page A7)
At any rate, as I asked on the CC talk page, isnt there some standard of notability for films, other than imdb inclusion? As film's an abidiing interest of mine, and I'd like to be as good a wiki ed. as possible, can you direct me to some pages tht lay out the arguments? 'Cause I'm sure its been hashed out too many times already...
And what is the rationale for making a special, invulnerable case for film?
Also, I totally misconstrued the "new message here" button atop your talk page..assuming it was a script for adding a section to this page, i used it and wound up creating a wiki page named "removed my speedy." What's that button actually for?

Cunard,
I just wanted to note my respect for your comportment at the AfD for Rochambo Coffee and Tea House. I've only been around here a few months but it was the first time I've seen someone change their mind during (what I hope was) a well-discussed argument.

Hi,
thank you for notifying me about this Redirect for deletion discussion. The problem is that this was a legitimate article that was turned into a redirect for no good reason: it was meant to discuss something entirely different not covered in other articles. I've restored the article from the history and added a dablink. However, no I don't know what should be done with the RfD discussion. Perhaps we should reopen the AfD discussion; I really don't think this article should be a redirect, and this is something that is covered in AfD's, I think.

Another good link about sources is Wikipedia:Reliable sources, which states that Wikipedia articles should use reliable, third-party, published sources. Remember to keep this in mind when you are researching an article. Sources from Myspace and most blogging sites are not reliable sources and should not be used in Wikipedia articles. Also, using "third-party sources" means that the article should not solely rely on sources that originate from the company/organization that the article is about.
Only "third-party sources" confirm an article's notability. Otherwise, the article may be deleted, so make sure that the article asserts notability before submitting it.
Some good websites to search for news articles to source an article are: Google News and Google News Archive, AccessMyLibrary, and Factiva. Google Books is a nice website that stores all kinds of books from many different authors and is a valuable researching/sourcing tool.
Also, to prevent hasty new page patrollers from tagging your unfinished new articles for speedy deletion, you should store them in User:Trixie1127/Sandbox, your sandbox, until they are ready to be moved to article space.
Good luck with article building! Feel free to ask me further questions if you get confused about anything. Take care, Cunard ( talk) 06:24, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Why have you placed so many speedy deletion templates on talk pages? I see you quote WP:DENY in all of them - how does this apply? We are not categorising the talk pages into CAT:GRAWP or CAT:EPIC VANDALS or anything like that. The pages will be deleted after a month or so anyway as talk pages of indefinitely blocked users, so this seems redundant. Matty ( talk) 09:53, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the nice comments on the article I started about eng-tips.com. I had posted four previous versions of the article that were all speedily deleted. When I wrote to the people who deleted the articles, all were mum and wouldn't explain what needed to be done differently to make the article acceptable. Everyone simply labelled me as a spammer and one who was incredibly ignorant of Wikipedia's rules (which I am). I simply think that adding an article about eng-tips.com makes sense for Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lgmagone ( talk • contribs) 18:17, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

marked a page for speedy deletion with the description "Bot error." Though the comment clearly did need to be moved or deleted, and the page probably qualified for speedy deletion under A6 G6, I don't understand why you would blame it on the bot (the bot appears to have no other problems, so it seems likely that it was user error).

I had marked the Pranab Das article for deletion because it seemed to be a test, irrelevant of the subject matter. It does not seem to be a discussion or attempt at an article about the person, and (even though I can't find the source material) could be copyright infringement.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a
speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{
hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.
This is a cut and dry case according to WP:POLITICIAN. Please read the discussion page before removing a SD tag as you're not an administrator. In case you need clarifying of the reason he doesn't qualify under WP:POLITICIAN; as a county commissioner, he's considered a second-level sub-national politician when first-level sub-national is the cut off.

You rushed to remove the tags that I placed in articles about Miss Dominican Republic pagents from the years 1927 to 1955, based on fast search you did in the Internet and placing a link that clearly states that it was copied from Wikipedia. To the best of my knowledge that is not a source, right?
All information found in the internet about this subject is copied from Wikipedia and done by the same author.
Before I tag those articles, I reseached for about a months. I called the Dominican Tourist Office in Santo Domingo, and spoke to a person who has covered the beauty pageants in the past and who has access to their history. I consulted the oldest newspaper records available in Dominican Republic and there are no information nor records of Beauty pagents those years. Please be more careful before removing a tag. -- Juliaaltagracia ( talk) 16:16, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
Thank you both
What motivated me to participate as an editor in Wikipedia, was that I was searching information for the Miss Domininican Republic 1969, for which I was one of the contestants. I found the page, and was surprised to see that the whole article was an invention of this person. The names did not match, the date and place of the event all were made up. I changed the information and provided a reputable link in the edit summary. I also provided images and newspaper clip, to prevent this person to change back the information. I have also noted that User: MDRU08 not only invents information about pageants, but also about geographical subjects. He changes the names of Provinces. Beacuse of the large quantity of bad articles he has created it is to much work to be done. Please see MRDU08 (talk · contribs)page to see debates about his pattern of invented information. -- Juliaaltagracia ( talk) 01:15, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
I agree with this move, however you might want to consider protecting.

Dear Cunard, thank you for removing the speedy deletion tag from my article which was posted by another fellow by the name Orangemike. I was extemly disappointed and confused. I am new to this site and while this is my 1st article (which BTW I have thoroughly followed the Wikipedia policies) I have already been ordered to do too many edits that I couldn't possible count with my fingers. Hence my extrem happiness and gratitude for your kindness. I had added a post on Orangemike's talk page questioning his decision of "speedy Delete Tag" my article. And here I am saved by you. I just want to past in here my debate pointers that I was about to send him which I wish to also run by you as well, since it seems you obvioulsy appreciate my work.
1)Neutral point of view: representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias I am merely telling his biography. The only area that was slightly non-neutral was in a quote of Ali Mirzad; the person that the article is about..which I have filtered.
2)Verifiability: whether readers are able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether we think it is true. Editors should provide a reliable source for quotations All info in my article are there with a verifiable concrete official source (which are all BTW listed there)
3)No original research: Wikipedia does not publish original research or original thought. This includes unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas My article is full in compliance with this point as well. It is a Biographical article about a living politician.
4) a)Biographies of living persons: must be written conservatively, with regard for the subject's privacy. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a tabloid paper; it is not our job to be sensationalist, or to be the primary vehicle for the spread of titillating claims about people's lives My article is about a living Politician currently in office. A person that has written a book about stopping the ethnic cleansing of the Hazaras (native people of Afghanistan, now a minority). He is the 1st Afghan part of the new generation that grew up abroad in Canada and chose to volunteer to work for free for the liberation of his people. He is also the youngest Afghan Politician at 27 years of age.
The article is short, concise and to the point. It doesn’t contain his hobbies, favorite food or any such thing. It has only his short bio (past-present) education and Political role and aspirations. The article is propaganda and discrimination free.
b) People who are relatively unknown ("non-public figures") :Wikipedia also contains biographies of people who, while notable enough for an entry, are not generally well known. In such cases, exercise restraint and include only material relevant to their notability, while omitting information that is irrelevant to the subject's notability. My article is about a new politician notable for his peacfull cause of fighting the oppression of an entire ethnic group (the Hazaras). He is also notable for the book he has written which has been widely printed in the Afghanistan and Iran. As explained above, the article is STRICTLY focused on his short biography. And all info is clearly sourced. -- AfghanGov ( talk) 22:08, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

The only other coverage mentions the name Anne Heaton as being the winner of a talent competition put on by Jewel (put those refs on the talk page). There was also some info up earlier but it was all refed with Facebook and a bot took it down.

Can you review your decision to remove the speedy tag on this article? I believe it was based on a false premise.

Hello, I just wanted to let you know that I did decline your request for speedy deletion. The reason being is because while the user did provide information about themselves (assuming it's true), the information provide is not highly revealing. If the user had provided more revealing information, such as, but not limited to, a facebook/myspace account, home address and/or phone number, then the page would certainly be deleted and oversight would have been requested.

It is notable. Why don't you do some research before saying it's not notable. -- Academiic ( talk) 22:09, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
Mostly for my own education - I suspect from the way it's written that this is about some work of fiction or other and not the real world so I don't think it's intended as a hoax. However, there's no indication as to what fictional universe it's from. In these cases, is CSD:A1 inappropriate? Zoe O'Connell ⚢⚧ ( talk) 22:41, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
CSD-A7 doesn't apply to temples, you say. That's true. I did, however, not realize it was an article on a temple! Haha. It came up on a list of uncategorized BLPs and I couldn't figure out what it was talking about. It started out like it was talking about a man, so... I don't know. I even asked three other editors, including two admins, and we were left looking like o_O. Terribly written article, but notable nonetheless. Knowing it's a temple, it makes more sense. Thinking it was a BLP... not so much sense. Anyway, thanks, لenna vecia 12:42, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

If you see an article tagged for speedy, and you think it wrongly tagged, it is totally in order to remove the tag. You've been doing this, and you've been doing right,. It's at your option then whether or not to nominate for deletion via another process. Of course, if it really does need to be deleted, it helps to keep the process moving. as long as you do it in a constructive way, anyone who blames you for it is wrong. Refer them to WP:CSD "The creator of a page may not remove a Speedy Delete tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. " That's any editor, not just admins. .

I went ahead and salted what I hope is that final "Sheree Ali" variation. I've seen persistent self-promotion on this site, but this gal took the taco. Thanks for letting me know. -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 15:39, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I weighed in on the AfD. Apologies if my speedy tag made extra work for anyone. Any guidance or instruction you can offer with regard to this kind of thing would be appreciated. See ya 'round. Tide rolls 22:51, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I assumed that DDLS was spam, as Ddls had been previously nominated for deletion, as indicated on User talk:Id1.andrew. My error:) Greedyhalibut ( talk) 23:23, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
I did not nominate it as a "country," I nominated it as a club or private group (which is what micronations are, after all) about which there was no assertion of notability. However, if you prefer to go the AfD route, that's fine with me. -- R'n'B ( call me Russ) 22:30, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
While I don't see much (if any) encyclopedic value in the current article ... the redirect you supplied is also not correct. There are multiple schools that share the same name. The one for which the questioned article was created is actually located in Laguna Beach, California - not Wilmington, Delaware. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 22:11, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
I have to object to the deletion of SimApp. It is a valid simulation language, and has appropriate references. It is more well known in Europe as you may see from the references in German and French control books. But it has also been documented in a book that includes modeling languages for education in the US. There are many other simulation software packages that have similar descriptions in the Wikipedia, and these are important to readers. Examples are Matlab, Simulink, Maplesim, Vissim, ACSL, to name a few. So I have offered to "userfy" this posting. Please tell me what would is different about these and would make this posting pass your criteria and it can be fixed.
So my conclusion is that this amounts to censorship. I would much prefer to see some censorship of sexual perversions that are so luridly treated in Wikipedia. That is only my opinion, however. I'm pushing on this because Wikipedia should be more tilted to users' ability to find complete information. Zoomzoom1 ( talk) 17:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
I left a comment at the discussion section of my RfA, asking for clarification. A couple of your questions didn't quite make sense to me with the "choose from the following criteria" notes. Thanks, Jamie ☆ S93 02:30, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
You currently appear to be engaged in an
edit war according to the reverts you have made on
Hugh Wilson. Note that the
three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the
three-revert rule. If you continue, you may be
blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a
consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue
dispute resolution. --

Yo. Have you ever worked on a policy before. More specifically worked on one from scratch. I've noticed a problem with establishing the notability of news organizations, news publications, and news writers/broadcasters. I'd like to start some sort of inclusion guideline for the likes and thought you might be interested in helping. OlYeller Talktome 21:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
Yeah, that was pretty excessive, but you were more than in the right to revert those edits. I remember that "Bam Margera" nonsense from a few months ago. He's taking a 24-hour timeout. :) -- PMDrive1061 ( talk) 00:20, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Cunard for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. -- DunkinDonutBoy ( talk) 05:41, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Hey - just a quick note that you may want to recreate your user page (even if blank) because the current deletion summary left by the last admin really shouldn't be there. See you in court ;) (SPI court that is). 7 talk | Δ | 08:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

You removed my speedy from Cyborg Cop, saying "films cannot be speedied under A7" Can you elucidate, or direct me to "A7?" (If A7 is frequently used as you use it, consider adding a note to the disambiguation page A7)
At any rate, as I asked on the CC talk page, isnt there some standard of notability for films, other than imdb inclusion? As film's an abidiing interest of mine, and I'd like to be as good a wiki ed. as possible, can you direct me to some pages tht lay out the arguments? 'Cause I'm sure its been hashed out too many times already...
And what is the rationale for making a special, invulnerable case for film?
Also, I totally misconstrued the "new message here" button atop your talk page..assuming it was a script for adding a section to this page, i used it and wound up creating a wiki page named "removed my speedy." What's that button actually for?
Thanks. Bustter ( talk) 14:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for rescuing Swaptree.com. I was doing something that I don't usually do, going through the backlog of unpatrolled pages from a month ago, and might have been going a little bit too quickly; I'm happy we're getting a useful article out of it. Well done. Accounting4Taste: talk 23:29, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your note. No, unfortunately, CSD probably does not fit unless maybe under DB:CORP. (I'm proboably the only admin ever to change a speedy to a PROD and have someone speedy delete the article anyway. So I'm kinda strict in my interpretation of CSD.) Just asserting the utter deletability of the article while wistfully wishing that CSD did cover this sort of thing. <<sigh>> Cheers, and happy editing. Dloh cierekim 13:05, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
Cunard,
I just wanted to note my respect for your comportment at the AfD for Rochambo Coffee and Tea House. I've only been around here a few months but it was the first time I've seen someone change their mind during (what I hope was) a well-discussed argument. I look forward to you changing my mind on something in the future.
Best wishes, Bigger digger ( talk) 14:20, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
Well I saw that you put the effort in to improve the article. I've done that a few times and it would be a total pain to see that wasted. I'm not looking forward to it! Bigger digger ( talk) 02:55, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi,
thank you for notifying me about this Redirect for deletion discussion. The problem is that this was a legitimate article that was turned into a redirect for no good reason: it was meant to discuss something entirely different not covered in other articles. I've restored the article from the history and added a dablink. However, no I don't know what should be done with the RfD discussion. Perhaps we should reopen the AfD discussion; I really don't think this article should be a redirect, and this is something that is covered in AfD's, I think.
