Re the protection status of Taco: first, thanks very much for offering to help. The AIV process is a bit cumbersome, although unless you're online 24/7, AIV is probably a quicker, surer remedy. Vandalism is a serious ongoing problem at that article, and I think you'd find if you checked into it that for the last six months it has been semi-protected at least half the time, that vandalism happened pretty much daily when it wasn't, that there were few if any legitimate IP edits when it wasn't, and that during the intervals of semi-protection there were no obvious instances of unregistered editors wanting to add something constructive and being unable to. Frankly, I didn't know whether to laugh or to cry when semi-protection got lifted so quickly after a query from an IP with a record of vandalism. So I laughed. But I'm serious in suggesting that long-term semi-protection makes sense for that article. Not enough people are watching it otherwise, and for the few of us who are, constant reverting is just taking up time that could be spent more productively elsewhere on WP.

Due to an apparent lack of interest, the WPVG Newsletter will be switching from a monthly publication schedule to a quarterly one. The next issue be delivered on July 1, 2009, and will pertain to the second quarter of the calendar year. If you have any comments regarding this, or suggestions to improve the newsletter, please post at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video games/Newsletter.
I can't really understand how you could delete the article of the above-mentioned person without any discussion, more so when he is very notable, and the article had sources to prove it. He is the Bombay Dyeing heir, a successful and well-known businessman, the co-owner of Kings XI Punjab, and a very much discussed media figure. His notability is very well established, and the article did indicate the importance or significance of the subject. This person has a major coverage on the net as well, if you just google once you'll see that.
According to the criterion itself, "This criterion applies only to articles about web content and to articles about people and organizations themselves." Another point, "The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source." - so this criterion was definitely unrelated here.
I think this was a big misstep from your side. This article has been on Wikipedia for over two/three years now, and deleting it just on your own decision with no discussion, no AfD, is unacceptable. You should have at least tagged it or something. I request you to restore the article. Shahid • Talk2me 17:18, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

I hope you'll be taking part in Bacon Challenge 2009 user:ChildofMidnight/Baconchallenge2009. Everyone is welcome, and I your culinary expertise would be a welcome addition.

An editor has asked for a deletion review of AsiaPulse News. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Stifle ( talk) 08:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the comment. I put a note on the talk page for Helmstetler ( talk · contribs), with some general guidance on what policy articles to read and why he's having problems. Hopefully this will work. I'm not going to email the editor; anything I write about this will be public. -- John Nagle ( talk) 05:56, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for participating in my
"RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (
Ceoil,
Noroton and
Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read
Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ |

Excellent article. I didn't intentionally remove the "Bacon Russian", though I did intentionally take out the price reference—don't care if it's left in, but that's not a particularly premium price for vodka in Seattle. See the Liquor board's price list. I didn't see how many intermediate revisions there were when I went to save changes during the reworking I did—in fact, I had added an {{ inuse}} template during the overhaul in the hopes of avoiding any edit conflicts.

A tag has been placed on Bacon vodka, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{
hangon}}
on the top of
Bacon vodka and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
citations from independent
reliable sources to ensure that the article will be
verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
What bothers me is the black rock vodka. Would you like to fix this? Joe407 ( talk) 12:21, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi there, I've nominated the following image at Commons for deletion: Commons:Commons:Deletion_requests/File:Lawsgreatest.jpg.
I thought you might be interested in this, as you were the person who took it originally (though I appreciate that you didn't transfer it to the commons yourself).

Hey Law. I moved your hook up with the other bacon ones at DYK. I hope that's okay protocol wise and okay with you. At first I missed the pic and I moved it after, so please double-check that I didn't muck anythign up.
Also, as you are a DYK expert, if you can take a look at how I did everything I would greatly appreciate it. I looked around for noms of articles by multiple contributors, but I didn't see any, so I left all of the BC2009 noms as per creator or expander only. Feel free to tweak anything as you see fit. I'm not going to be on the compute rmuch this weekend (hopefully) so party on! ChildofMidnight ( talk) 21:49, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
