[1]. Welcome home. Nevada wasn't the same without you. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 01:21, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
We don't even have those machines where you can recycle your cans and bottles for a nickle! It's going to be interesting whether the list of article survives. Clearly it's needed. I made it a disambig. because I was worried about an article that isn't truly an article. But it wasn't really a disambig. But now as a list of the point is being made that it isn't an article about the subject. Hopefully enough people will recognize the need for it and vote keep. We'll see. Did you notice the involved parties? Another relaxing day for me on the 'pedia. Speaking of which, I hope you're tan and relaxed. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 16:40, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Noticed you nominated a lot of this user's non-notable articles for deletion, you might want to look at this if you feel like nominating more of them, which I strongly support in fact I might nom a few more myself tonight. Cheers, -- Giants27 T/ C 01:28, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Good work Kelapschtick. As we become sustainable over the next couple of years using only recycled materials and renewable energy sources these mining articles will provide a fascinating glimpse into the past. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 05:01, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
Your comment made me laugh, because as I was posting my question about the quote of the day I was thinking: this should probably go on the talk page of my talk page. Duh! That's what it's there for. Oops! :) I kind of see Geo as Neo with a G. I'm not familiar with the whole storyline, but ummm are you like part of the matrix or breaking free of it or something? ChildofMidnight ( talk) 04:36, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I found this article Sterling Hill Mining Museum interesting. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 17:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
I've finally got round to working on some of those many, many articles! I've improved two of them so far and just stuck them at the bottom of the list "passes BNG/GNG". I'm not sure if I've put it in the right place- I can re-write an article but I still don;t know anything about baseball!! I trust you'll fiddle around as you see fit, but I'm just letting you know! Regards, HJ Mitchell ( talk) 20:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about that, and thanks for the talkback. I take your point about the stats sites and what not, but I think that, with one exception, which I noted was shakey, the volume of, albeit less reputable, information out there on these players, I think, would seem to justify their inclusion. One or two of them have genuine claims to notability, I can't remember which offhand- all I know about minor league baseball is what I'm reading doing this, but I'm willing to help in the re- writing and dredging up sources. I think they would certainly have a much better chance at AfD if they were nominated, though they could benefit from a little TLC. HJ Mitchell ( talk) 23:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, how about we disregard the GNG for the purposes of this discussion. Would it not make more sense to improve them and get them up to a good standard and just see what happens? If somebody came a long and was a little zealous with the AfD tags, I'd fight for the better ones but be ready to accept the consensus. After all, there's more material out there on some of these guys than there is on a lot of supposedly "notable" subjects. So instead of assuming they're not worthy of an article, why not give them the best shot at one we can- after all, only those who have the entire deletion policy and GNG committed to memory are likely to be tagging a seemingly well referenced article. As a compromise, how about I slap AfD tags on anything that doesn't have information other than on stats sites from now on? I don't mind re-writing them or dredging for sources but if they're only going to be consigned to the scrap heap, it's better to put them out of their misery. HJ Mitchell ( talk) 11:48, 24 April 2009 (UTC)
This sort of edit is generally frowned upon. I appreciate that your intent was to clarify and correct, but our conduct guidelines are quite specific about this. (Incidentally, your correction was incorrect: you might revise the definition of exorcism compared with, say reanimation and resurrection.) Regards, SHEFFIELDSTEEL TALK 20:40, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
I see someone has a taste for refactoring. Can we be certain that Mies, Dr. didn't intentionally get the lyrics wrong? Maybe he chooses to "race the dead" instead of "raise" them? And by making obvious corrections, aren't you just highlighting his pitiful understanding of U2 lyrics? What's next Kelapstick? What's next??? ChildofMidnight ( talk) 20:52, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
Are you down in the mine? Keep an eye on the canaries. Child of Mid night 23:32, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
Greetings! I noticed you removed Hummus from Middle Eastern cuisine, Mediterranean cuisine and Vegetarian cuisine. This article is semi-protected due to a vast amount of vandalism and continuous edit warring [2] regarding regional terms as well as nationalities and food categories. Before removing any categories, I would like to ask you to discuss their removal on the article's talk page. I know it seems silly to have to discuss categories etc. regarding a food, but if you look at the edit history, this article has been quite...controversial...Thanks!!! -- Nsaum75 ( talk) 04:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, the discussion seems to have moved to Fabrictramp's page, but I just wanted to make it clear that none of my comments have been meant slightingly. I got myself into this through the NP Patrol anyway. The two of you have done a brilliant job of sorting these articles out and organising them. I just think we should keep everything we can and it seems a shame to see good information discarded. I'll give you a hand with some of the others when I get round to it, though it would be good to clear up what we're going to do with them first.I notice Gjr isn't active of late, which, in a sense, is also a shame since he could have been a good asset and helped in cleaning up some of these articles. But hey, the Earth's still spinning so keep up the good work! Kind regards, HJMitchell You rang? 09:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
That's fair enough. At least they can be improved kind of as and when. Would it be worth starting a new section for articles that have been checked but don't pass the GNG yet? Just a suggestion. Sorry for the confusion. HJMitchell You rang? 16:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Sorry it took me a while to get back to you — I tend to forget about these things if I don't reply right away — but unfortunately I know absolutely nothing about them; hadn't even ever heard of them until your post to my talk page, actually.

Re: Title Coal of Wikipedia Hello, You were not happy that our references were personal. We contacted www.coal-and-the-environment.org and they agreed to grant the permission of copyright, and they posted this grant on their first web page. You might have another comment. We will be glad to correct it when you will disclose it.. country43 Country43 ( talk) 21:03, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
I hope this helps, but I encourage you to read WP:RS and WP:COPYVIO if you have not already.

If this is not clear I would be happy to expand on any questions you may have.-- kelapstick ( talk) 21:16, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello,It was just yesterday that you confirmed that www.coal-and-the-environment.org was a reference, consequently we contacted them. Now as they accepted to post a copyright grant, you are no more accepting them??? We hope that there is nothing personal.. country43 Country43 ( talk) 21:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
Hello, We thank you for your response, and we are glad of your attitude. According to the definitions provided by Wikipedia, An organization website is an accepted reference. Coal-and-the-environment is a respectable organization with a lot of members and supporters, and it is standing on a high world wide level, and its mission is far reaching. When they accepted our request to grant the copyright, this does not diminish their attitude. They accepted this grant from the perspective of accepted policy.
Now from another different view, Coke and Natural Gas produce Ethanol is a scientific fact well documented in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, and Kirk and Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. The documentation follow the sequence we mentioned in our article, Ethylene is first produced from Coke and Natural Gas, next Ethylene is a well known raw material to produce Ethanol.
This scientific fact is also mentioned several times over the internet, and it is only the Wikipedia which is left behind.
As a protector of the Wikipedia, you surely do not intend to shadow darkness on the Wikipedia.

I take it you are responsible for the removal of the Elvis Sandwich article and the creation of a generic one? Elvis' cook's recipe book makes no mention of the bacon that riddles the article.

In the first question of your RfA you gave two examples of admin backlog of image categories, yet you only have 11 edits to the File namespace. If you become an admin, you might want to get some more experience with that namespace first.

Dear Kelapstick, the very reason that you decided to withdraw in light of certain allegations only makes you rise in my estimation. It shows that you are open to feedback, are willing to act upon it and have integrity. I was sorry that you withdrew, but I understand your honourable gesture. Let me know when you feel ready to apply again and you will have my support once more. AlexandrDmitri ( talk) 22:14, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kelapstick. I think you might have misread what I posted. :) I wrote "systemic", not "systematic". I was referring to the fact that the copyright problems were systemic throughout the two articles, and thus, not limited to one or two sentences here and there that needed tweaking, as Drmies suggested. Certainly I wasn't insinuating anything deliberately malicious on your part.
In any case, since I'm here, I wanted also to clear up my reasons for opposing and pointing out the copyright problems at the RfA, since it seems folks are taking it the wrong way. I want admins to have a clear understanding of our policies, including our copyright policies (plagiarism is a slightly different matter, and although I would hope that admins understand this as well, our current confusing guideline does not facilitate this well). So thus, I opposed because I did not think you were ready to become an admin yet based on the copyright problems in the two articles you brought up as examples in your answer to question 2. My oppose in cases such as these are really prophylactic: my hope is that it prevents harm to both Wikipedia and the aspiring admin. Too often, we've seen cases where admins who don't quite fully understand policies/guidelines get into difficult quandaries; then the crowds start clamoring for their heads, and it becomes a distasteful experience for all involved.
Anyway, I think you're doing a great job taking the feedback from the RfA and learning from your mistakes. I'm sure if you have aspirations to become an admin that you'll be successful in the future. Cheers, TwilligToves ( talk) 08:59, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

This edit was wrong, my bot had messed up some pages replacing templates for "Category:Lifetime", etc...

Hey K-schtick. How are you? What's shaking up there in Reno? Getting some late spring snow are you? Anyway, I just wanted to say hi. :) I was really disappointed your admin candidacy wasn't successful. You are one of the nicest guys around and your reasonable and calm approach are an inspiration. I haven't had much to say on it all because I find it a bit frustrating that we have so many non-content contributors and stealth candidates that don't have a clue who pass, while exceptional editors get rejected on various technicalities and irrelevancies. But I guess Wikipedia, like life, isn't perfect. Anyway, I've enjoyed editing with you and I hope you're enjoying your new home and that the K-stick clan is all in good health and enjoying a festive summer up there by our nuclear waste storage facilities.

I did not know there is infobox for mines, I'll fill it up ASAP. Yes, the article was written for DYK, and who knows, I migh move on to other (diamond) mines. BTW, do you know how to write a proper ratioanale for that satellite image (google maps, I simply copied mine from another image) and whether it is allowed on WP at all?

Did I tell you that there was a substantial article in the LA Times a while back about that gold mine and the dumping issue in Alaska. It basically just said that through another review of some sort they were still allowed to fill the lake with tailings. A big win for you polluters. :) ChildofMidnight ( talk) 03:15, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
Yes it looks as if I was aming for current location rather than historical location. Probably because it's somewhat easier to do and I thought that people would tend to look for a mine where it is now rather than at the time of operation. For example the North Rankin Nickel Mine (1957-1962) was never in operation in Nunavut but only in pre-division NWT. And you are right it would be best to mention it in the lead. Cheers.

I realized that, but I also realized that the page would most likely be deleted per WP:NSONG, plus the one user created like 15 pages solely to redirect to each other, forming two, three, and four redirects in a row. Not to mention that the user is a sock. because of this I decided to go ahead and put the deletion nominations on WP:CSD#G5, WP:CSD#G8, and possibly WP:CSD#R3.

Stop reversing the edits about John Dickinson.
He was the largest slave owner in Delaware and later in Philadelphia.
He was not the Governor of Pennsylvania, he was the President of Pennsylvania.
Stop changing history. Just because a few of you have decided to refer to the Presidents of the colonies as Governors does not make it an historical fact. The fact is that they were presidents and the colonies were not certain that they wanted to be bound in obligation to the United States. Remember "State" is an international term, not a domestic term. It refers to an independent country. At that time in history, the colonies considered themselves to be independent countries.

I've declined the speedy deletion request, as this version is substantially different from the deleted version, and the issues raised in the AfD appear to have been dealt with. Hence, this does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion.
I would also like to comment on your edit summary when you re-added the tag: the tag was not removed by the article creator [12]. Please ensure you check the diffs to make sure you know who removed the tag before assuming it was the creator. (Yes, I know the creator edited the article, but that was with a hangon tag, first adding [13], then reverting the addition of the hangon tag [14]).

I left my encouragement to move Nanisivik Naval Facility to article space at CBW's talk page.
I thought I would leave you a couple of notes here. File:Ccgc des grosileurs moored at Nanisivik.jpg is a {{ fairuse}} image. They need a fair use rationale for every page where they are used. I added a fair use rationale for Nanisivik Naval Facility.
We aren't supposed to use {{ fairuse}} images in user: space.
The other thing I will mention is just a personal preference thing. Some people like refs with a single field per line. Others like to put all the fields on a single line. I prefer the former. I see it as more readable, easier to find, and easier to fix, when broken. But I (generally) resist the temptation to reformat other people's references -- because it erodes the usefulness of the built-in editors "Show changes" button. When someone else comes along and clicks on it, it makes references that haven't really been changed, look like they have changed. It imposes an unnecessary cognitive burden on other contributors, who have to think hard to determine whether anything has really changed.
There may be a manual of style or other wikidocument that addresses this issue -- but if so I am unaware of it.

I've finally got round to working on some of those many, many articles! I've improved two of them so far and just stuck them at the bottom of the list "passes BNG/GNG". I'm not sure if I've put it in the right place- I can re-write an article but I still don;t know anything about baseball!! I trust you'll fiddle around as you see fit, but I'm just letting you know! Regards, HJ Mitchell ( talk) 20:35, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Sorry about that, and thanks for the talkback. I take your point about the stats sites and what not, but I think that, with one exception, which I noted was shakey, the volume of, albeit less reputable, information out there on these players, I think, would seem to justify their inclusion. One or two of them have genuine claims to notability, I can't remember which offhand- all I know about minor league baseball is what I'm reading doing this, but I'm willing to help in the re- writing and dredging up sources. I think they would certainly have a much better chance at AfD if they were nominated, though they could benefit from a little TLC. HJ Mitchell ( talk) 23:17, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Well, how about we disregard the GNG for the purposes of this discussion. Would it not make more sense to improve them and get them up to a good standard and just see what happens? If somebody came a long and was a little zealous with the AfD tags, I'd fight for the better ones but be ready to accept the consensus. After all, there's more material out there on some of these guys than there is on a lot of supposedly "notable" subjects. So instead of assuming they're not worthy of an article, why not give them the best shot at one we can- after all, only those who have the entire deletion policy and GNG committed to memory are likely to be tagging a seemingly well referenced article.

Greetings! I noticed you removed Hummus from Middle Eastern cuisine, Mediterranean cuisine and Vegetarian cuisine. This article is semi-protected due to a vast amount of vandalism and continuous edit warring [2] regarding regional terms as well as nationalities and food categories. Before removing any categories, I would like to ask you to discuss their removal on the article's talk page. I know it seems silly to have to discuss categories etc. regarding a food, but if you look at the edit history, this article has been quite...controversial...Thanks!!! -- Nsaum75 ( talk) 04:56, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi, the discussion seems to have moved to Fabrictramp's page, but I just wanted to make it clear that none of my comments have been meant slightingly. I got myself into this through the NP Patrol anyway. The two of you have done a brilliant job of sorting these articles out and organising them. I just think we should keep everything we can and it seems a shame to see good information discarded. I'll give you a hand with some of the others when I get round to it, though it would be good to clear up what we're going to do with them first.I notice Gjr isn't active of late, which, in a sense, is also a shame since he could have been a good asset and helped in cleaning up some of these articles. But hey, the Earth's still spinning so keep up the good work! Kind regards, HJMitchell You rang? 09:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
That's fair enough. At least they can be improved kind of as and when. Would it be worth starting a new section for articles that have been checked but don't pass the GNG yet? Just a suggestion. Sorry for the confusion. HJMitchell You rang? 16:32, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello, We thank you for your response, and we are glad of your attitude. According to the definitions provided by Wikipedia, An organization website is an accepted reference. Coal-and-the-environment is a respectable organization with a lot of members and supporters, and it is standing on a high world wide level, and its mission is far reaching. When they accepted our request to grant the copyright, this does not diminish their attitude. They accepted this grant from the perspective of accepted policy.
Now from another different view, Coke and Natural Gas produce Ethanol is a scientific fact well documented in Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, and Kirk and Othmer Encyclopedia of Chemical Technology. The documentation follow the sequence we mentioned in our article, Ethylene is first produced from Coke and Natural Gas, next Ethylene is a well known raw material to produce Ethanol.
This scientific fact is also mentioned several times over the internet, and it is only the Wikipedia which is left behind.

Hi Kelapstick. I think you might have misread what I posted. :) I wrote "systemic", not "systematic". I was referring to the fact that the copyright problems were systemic throughout the two articles, and thus, not limited to one or two sentences here and there that needed tweaking, as Drmies suggested. Certainly I wasn't insinuating anything deliberately malicious on your part.
In any case, since I'm here, I wanted also to clear up my reasons for opposing and pointing out the copyright problems at the RfA, since it seems folks are taking it the wrong way. I want admins to have a clear understanding of our policies, including our copyright policies (plagiarism is a slightly different matter, and although I would hope that admins understand this as well, our current confusing guideline does not facilitate this well). So thus, I opposed because I did not think you were ready to become an admin yet based on the copyright problems in the two articles you brought up as examples in your answer to question 2. My oppose in cases such as these are really prophylactic: my hope is that it prevents harm to both Wikipedia and the aspiring admin. Too often, we've seen cases where admins who don't quite fully understand policies/guidelines get into difficult quandaries; then the crowds start clamoring for their heads, and it becomes a distasteful experience for all involved.
Anyway, I think you're doing a great job taking the feedback from the RfA and learning from your mistakes. I'm sure if you have aspirations to become an admin that you'll be successful in the future. Cheers, TwilligToves ( talk) 08:59, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Yes it looks as if I was aming for current location rather than historical location. Probably because it's somewhat easier to do and I thought that people would tend to look for a mine where it is now rather than at the time of operation. For example the North Rankin Nickel Mine (1957-1962) was never in operation in Nunavut but only in pre-division NWT. And you are right it would be best to mention it in the lead. Cheers.

Stop reversing the edits about John Dickinson.
He was the largest slave owner in Delaware and later in Philadelphia.
He was not the Governor of Pennsylvania, he was the President of Pennsylvania.
Stop changing history. Just because a few of you have decided to refer to the Presidents of the colonies as Governors does not make it an historical fact. The fact is that they were presidents and the colonies were not certain that they wanted to be bound in obligation to the United States. Remember "State" is an international term, not a domestic term. It refers to an independent country. At that time in history, the colonies considered themselves to be independent countries.
Stop reversing my edits. Come to Pennsylvania and check your facts about my state. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.79.190.67 ( talk) 22:02, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Since you participated in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bullshido.net (3rd nomination), which was closed as "no consensus", you may be interested in a subsequent DRV. Since I disagreed with the close, I contacted the closing admin, who responded, " To be honest, Cunard, I would tend to agree with you, but I am not sure if the balance of things heads to delete rather than no consensus. Listing it at DRV might be a good option here; I won't endorse or oppose the close and will allow the DRV community to decide it. Therefore, I have listed this article at DRV; if you would like to participate, please see Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 October 2#Bullshido.net.

I would appreciate it if you put a strikethrough through your recent comment on my talk page. I did not remove the speedy tag on that article, another editor did. I put a hangon template on the page, realized that another editor had removed the speedy tag, and then self-reverted myself. Thanks, DigitalC ( talk) 01:22, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
I've declined the speedy deletion request, as this version is substantially different from the deleted version, and the issues raised in the AfD appear to have been dealt with. Hence, this does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion.
I would also like to comment on your edit summary when you re-added the tag: the tag was not removed by the article creator [12]. Please ensure you check the diffs to make sure you know who removed the tag before assuming it was the creator. (Yes, I know the creator edited the article, but that was with a hangon tag, first adding [13], then reverting the addition of the hangon tag [14]).

The four day cruises go to Santa Catalina and Ensenada. They used to have a Royal Caribbean one that went to San Diego too, but I don't think it goes there any more so you have to go with Carnival which I don't think is quite as nice. Also, those places may not be super warm in winter. I'm still in on the 7-day to Cabo san Lucas, Puerto Vallarta and Mazatlan if you're treating. ChildofMidnight ( talk) 19:27, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

It appears to me that the Iron Man (statue) is not really the third tallest. The figure is only 36 feet, while the sculpture is 81-85 feet (depending on which source you believe). Looking at the other statues, they seem much larger. Should the base be included in the measurements??? And if you use meters it's even smaller! Have a good weekend.

Hey Kelapstick, thank you for your attention to detail on that. When I opened the edit window, I also had several other tabs open, and when I saved my edit - I didn't realize that there had been some "pissing contest" on the close of that AfD. To be honest, if you think my "comment" (not my !vote, but the comment about the changes to the policy template) belong on the talk page - I have no problem with them being moved, although it's relevant to the conversation directly above; so if you do decide to move it, it's likely better to move all the comments. Either way, I'm not interested in dick measuring, so I'll not fuss about it either way - OH MY, that's a redlink. We better not let CoM know about that, or else we'll end up in another circular event like the one we're in now .. LOL.

Unable to resist bacon's temptations, rogue editors have kicked off the Bacon Challenge 2010 before the New Year even starts! This is a fun and collegial event and all are welcome. There are many non-pork articles for editors who enjoy some sizzle, but object to or don't like messing with pig products. This year's event includes a Bacon WikiCup 2010 for those who may want to keep score and enjoy engaging in friendly competition.

I left my encouragement to move Nanisivik Naval Facility to article space at CBW's talk page.
I thought I would leave you a couple of notes here. File:Ccgc des grosileurs moored at Nanisivik.jpg is a {{ fairuse}} image. They need a fair use rationale for every page where they are used. I added a fair use rationale for Nanisivik Naval Facility.
We aren't supposed to use {{ fairuse}} images in user: space.
The other thing I will mention is just a personal preference thing. Some people like refs with a single field per line. Others like to put all the fields on a single line. I prefer the former. I see it as more readable, easier to find, and easier to fix, when broken. But I (generally) resist the temptation to reformat other people's references -- because it erodes the usefulness of the built-in editors "Show changes" button. When someone else comes along and clicks on it, it makes references that haven't really been changed, look like they have changed. It imposes an unnecessary cognitive burden on other contributors, who have to think hard to determine whether anything has really changed.
There may be a manual of style or other wikidocument that addresses this issue -- but if so I am unaware of it.
