LB (hope you don't mind the abbreviation). You helped to update an article a while back, User:1801270P/Painting_and_Decorating_Contractors_of_America. Thanks to your input and others the article is much better than what I could have created being a Wiki noob. However the original admin who protected the page is not responding to my requests to unprotect the page now that I've got a better supported version to put in place. Any assistance/guidance you can provide is appreciated. -- 1801270P ( talk) 22:12, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm a little perturbed as to why you deleted my entry 'Camp Calleva'. It is equally as significant as any other summer camp in the Maryland/Virginia area, perhaps even more so since it is the largest outdoor education program in Central Maryland. Furthermore, I was not done writing the article when you deleted it. If you have problems with my establishment of notability I would rather talk about it then see my page obliterated. I hope we can reconcile this. Callevacamp ( talk) 18:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello Lifebaka. The "Gabriel Murphy" article has been nominated for deletion by someone that I believe has a personal vandetta against this article. Here is the link to the AfD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gabriel_Murphy_%283rd_nomination%29#Gabriel_Murphy. The user does not even point out that the article was reversed on a DR just 2 days ago. If you can chime in on this conversation I would appreciate it. Thanks! LakeBoater ( talk) 02:15, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
Just wanted to say thank you so much for your help/advice/feedback with the "Gabriel Murphy" article. You have inspired me to get more involved with Wikipedia; to learn about Wikipedia and help others where I can. Best Wishes! LakeBoater ( talk) 17:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was , , or ).
A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.) Thanks for your detailed supporting statement! I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...
Thanks again!

Hello Lifebaka, Thanks for your feedback on the David Horne deletion review. I'm writing to you out of the three users that replied, as you clearly indicated that you could personally userfy the content for me (I guess that means or includes recovering it). I would like to have it as a starting point. Or should I address my request to someone from Category:Wikipedia_administrators_who_will_provide_copies_of_deleted_articles?

Hello friend, I wanted to let you know that I made a lot of progress on my new MTG infobox, viewable in my sandbox. Let me know what you think. I think the Tnavbar isn't working right, but that's got me stumped. It's not essential, but it seems like good Wiki-maintenance. Other than that, it's at a point where I'm pretty comfortable putting it up for public debate. Can you tell me how to go about doing that? There's some more info on my sandbox page that will hopefully allow you understand some of my methods and thinking. Cheers! JamesLucas ( talk) 23:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
This should make it work for all the current usages and allow customization if the parameter is used. It's also a bit easier to just have people put in "First", "Second", or "Third" on their own rather than having the template put it in for them.
{{#if:{{{Set position|}}}|{{{Set position}}}|{{#ifeq:{{{Expansion Name}}}|{{{First Set|}}}|First|{{#ifeq:{{{Expansion Name}}}|{{{Second Set|}}}|Second|Third}}}}}}

.I'd highly recommend removing the nav images for next/previous set. They're misleading for clicking (they'll take you to the image page, not the set page) and aren't proper use of non-free images. - A Man In Bl♟ck ( conspire | past ops) 02:21, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Think it's been long enough? If the Eventide prerelease hasn't woken people up, I'm not hopeful that we'll get much more feedback.

Hi, you just declined a speedy that I proposed and you're completely right, the link given seems to bedead. I based myself on this, perhaps I was too fast.

Hello, I am somewhat unclear about how to go about the process of deletion review for http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Universal_Church_Of_Metaphysics_501%28c%293&action=edit This page has been repeatedly attacked before I can even finish my explanations, revise the article with references and proof of its notability, and it has been unfairly targeted by people who I believe might simply not care for the subject matter. So what do I do? I am new to wikipedia and I have intended to make a lot of contributions to wikipedia, but so far everything I try to put up, no matter how dry and factual and encyclopedic I make it, it gets attacked. Please tell me how to do a deletion review. It doesn't really give directins at the deletion review page how to do it, it just talks about it. Thank ou for protecting my page from further tampering, I appreciate that, I am assuming you are the one who stepped in to protect my article until a resolution can be reached.

Although I despise chain mails I love my son, so I thought I would pass this email along on his behalf and perhaps you could also pass it along too. Please note: I’m not asking you to move your name to the bottom of the list for $1 :)
My son came up with a new holiday, Mismatched Sox Day, to be celebrated annually on July 16th. Finally a day where you can put your sox on without spending 15 minutes hunting for a mate. On this day, you are encouraged and welcomed to wear a pair of socks that do not match. The more they do not match, the more obvious it is that you are celebrating this day. You will not be fired by your employer for doing so (although I take no responsibility for it if you do). Good will and fortune may come to you, or it may not, but at least you won't have to throw out those single sox without a match.
Happy Mismatched Sox Day!

Thanks for locking it. I am just now starting a sock puppet case against Funk Junkie. If you read the talk page you will see where i accussed him. Then if you go to both mine and his talkpage. You will see where I gave him a chance to admit it was him and stop. Then on my page you will see where he admits doing it, asks me to not pursue a sock puppet case against him, and asks if i will forget about him doing it. That is until he returned and did it again.

I am no Wiki expert, but I thought that I was getting more time. I had corresponded with "Gwen" when she declined speedy deletion, and thought that as long as I was adding refs, I would get a break, and perhaps some help from other posters as info on Robert K. Hall (national guard officer) filled out. I have no pers ax to grind here. He is not related or known to me except for what little I have been able to find in primary sources. I only got started on this because, my hero, Chesty Puller gets pages, yet the General himself said that but for (then) LTC Hall's action (then) LtCol Puller would have died at Henderson Field. Marines love to sneer at the National Guard, (and all other services for that matter), but 3/164th was special, and I think (and I am trying to get PRIMARY sources here)that Bob Hall was the reason. Best regards Todd Jtmilesmmr ( talk) 18:49, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
You are right of course. I could have done a better job. The guy is long dead , and I can't even find birth/death dates, with perhaps, 10 manhours into the project. I have a call into a college professor who is doing a book on the 164th,(he is on vaca) and am trying to fit the very limited hours of the Worcester, Ma. Americal archives into my sched. (other archives are in ND, I will not get there). I could have done a better job, but I have little doubt that he could withstand a deletion discussion with better writing and a little more info, but this is not about me,,,,,,,,,,,it is about Robert. K. Hall. Another Wikipedian who is an expert on the Battle for Henderson Field has already told me that it should not have been deleted, and that if he had known the page existed, he would have helped. I have started lots of subjects that have been improved by others, and I never consider my version to be the final or best. Setting it up in my user space will not be a big help, because except for the museum and prof Shoptauge, I have exhaused my resources. Even though my piece is lacking, it is more info than one can find in any other single place. I would appreciate a discussion among Guadalcanal experts as to the value of having Robert K. Hall in Wikipedia, along with good links to his name in the Gualalcanal story. Best regards!! Todd Jtmilesmmr ( talk) 23:45, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Hi there! I'm the IP mentioned here. I cant edit the ANI page so I'll leave a comment here instead, as much as I hate to drag you into this. I tried to talk to user Eulenspiegel but he simply removed my message from his talk page, that was before my last revert. He branded my post harrassment and is now calling me a vandal. See here [2]. I feel strongly about this issue because the comment was removed by the user it was directed at, and in its place the user left a note calling it trolling which it clearly was not. Assuming that he continues to ignomre as he did last time what course of action do I have?

Thank you for pointing out that the user name is too long. Unfortunately, I disagree with your claim that 'there is nothing wrong with this username in theory'. In fact, the name itself is jingoistic as it demonstrates all the hallmarks of ultra-nationalism. So the name is threatening to some editors; in particular, it appears to have been selected to insult people of Vietnamese background.
I will be reporting the user shortly to the administrators for various forms of abuse that have been occurring.

Hi Lifebaka. First time I have requested this so I apologize if I have erred in judgement but you have correctly surmised that amulet of yendor was merged with roguelike article however that content has been deleted over time and does not exist anymore. I was going to redirect it to Rogue (computer game) but feel it is unecessary considering the amulet is just an object in the game. (there are many objects and the amulet is necessary to win but is page with redirect required?)

Hi,
Thanks for the editprotected - I think we can just omit those lines entirely though. If we need extra padding we can do it with CSS rather than with blank lines. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 20:47, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
The criteria for speedy deletion states: "Before nominating an article for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved, reduced to a stub, merged or redirected elsewhere or be handled with some other action short of deletion. If this is possible, speedy deletion is probably inappropriate. Contributors sometimes create articles over several edits, so try to avoid deleting a page too soon after its creation if it appears incomplete".
The article was nominated for speedy deletion just minutes after its creation. I believe this is speedy nomination and that specifically no effort was made to consider if it could be improved in a way to not meet the speedy deletion criteria.
Please consider removing the speedy deletion tag as fast as it was improperly added. Uiteoi ( talk) 14:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

He wont stop his accustations, rude behavior and just general uncivility towards me. He needs to just calm down, instead of being so rude and angry.

Looks as if he's taken several whacks under various socks to create that page about Smucker's "Goober" PB&J combination.

I've seen a store brand variation of the stuff; if I can verify it online, I'll add it. That way, I won't get the dreaded "citation needed" notice.

On the Princess Sally Acorn I frankly don't believe that there is any serious chance of consensus being reached. AMiB is clearly in the minority on the page discussion, but continues to revert without any kind of serious discussion. I tried to mediate (though I'm an inclusionist and thus biased perhaps), but he refuses to use anything but his own work as a starting point and doesn't actively engage. I feel that locking the page with his version active will make this discussion very difficult to have (not to mention rewarding all the reverts he's done). I understand your page protection isn't an enforcement of content, but I suspect that page won't be unblocked anytime soon. For the record, I think a lot of what he did to that page was to the good, but he won't engage in meaningful discussion and reverts things he doesn't like. In any case, I'll be unwatching the page and let others deal with this. Hobit ( talk) 15:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I'd just like to thank you for protecting the Princess Sally Acorn article, a few editors had obviously forgotten the etiquette that we on Wikipedia are held up to. Anyway, I thought that you may want to add a tag to the top of the article explaining the status of the article. By this I mean a tag similar to the one currently on the Burma article of Wikipedia, but rather, involving edits. A tag like this could help newcomers to the article understand the situation, and voice their opinions if they so wish. Kuro ♪ 19:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

It is equally as significant as any other summer camp in the Maryland/Virginia area, perhaps even more so since it is the largest outdoor education program in Central Maryland. Furthermore, I was not done writing the article when you deleted it. If you have problems with my establishment of notability I would rather talk about it then see my page obliterated. I hope we can reconcile this. Callevacamp ( talk) 18:53, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello Lifebaka. The "Gabriel Murphy" article has been nominated for deletion by someone that I believe has a personal vandetta against this article. Here is the link to the AfD: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gabriel_Murphy_%283rd_nomination%29#Gabriel_Murphy. The user does not even point out that the article was reversed on a DR just 2 days ago. If you can chime in on this conversation I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA, which closed successfully. I felt the process was a thorough review of my contributions and my demeanor, and I was very gratified to see how many editors took the time to really see what I'm about and how I can be of help to the project. As a result, some editors changed their views during the discussion, and most expressed specific, detailed points to indicate their opinion (whether it was , , or ).
A number of editors were concerned about my level of experience. I was purposeful in not waiting until a particular benchmark occurred before requesting adminship, because I feel - as many do - that adminship is not a reward and that each case is individual. It is true that I am not the most experienced editor around here, but I appreciate that people dug into my contributions enough to reach the conclusion that I seem to have a clue. Also, the best thing about this particular concern is that experience is something an editor - or administrator - can always get more of, and I'll continue doing that, just as I've been doing. (If I seem a little slow at it, feel free to slap me.) Thanks for your detailed supporting statement! I am a strong believer in the concept that this project is all about the content, and I'm looking forward to contributing wherever I can. Please let me know if I can be of any help. In the meantime, I'm off to school...
Thanks again!

Hello friend, I wanted to let you know that I made a lot of progress on my new MTG infobox, viewable in my sandbox. Let me know what you think. I think the Tnavbar isn't working right, but that's got me stumped. It's not essential, but it seems like good Wiki-maintenance. Other than that, it's at a point where I'm pretty comfortable putting it up for public debate. Can you tell me how to go about doing that? There's some more info on my sandbox page that will hopefully allow you understand some of my methods and thinking. Cheers! JamesLucas ( talk) 23:33, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
This should make it work for all the current usages and allow customization if the parameter is used. It's also a bit easier to just have people put in "First", "Second", or "Third" on their own rather than having the template put it in for them.
{{#if:{{{Set position|}}}|{{{Set position}}}|{{#ifeq:{{{Expansion Name}}}|{{{First Set|}}}|First|{{#ifeq:{{{Expansion Name}}}|{{{Second Set|}}}|Second|Third}}}}}}

Hello, I am somewhat unclear about how to go about the process of deletion review for http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Universal_Church_Of_Metaphysics_501%28c%293&action=edit This page has been repeatedly attacked before I can even finish my explanations, revise the article with references and proof of its notability, and it has been unfairly targeted by people who I believe might simply not care for the subject matter. So what do I do? I am new to wikipedia and I have intended to make a lot of contributions to wikipedia, but so far everything I try to put up, no matter how dry and factual and encyclopedic I make it, it gets attacked. Please tell me how to do a deletion review. It doesn't really give directins at the deletion review page how to do it, it just talks about it.

My son came up with a new holiday, Mismatched Sox Day, to be celebrated annually on July 16th. Finally a day where you can put your sox on without spending 15 minutes hunting for a mate. On this day, you are encouraged and welcomed to wear a pair of socks that do not match. The more they do not match, the more obvious it is that you are celebrating this day. You will not be fired by your employer for doing so (although I take no responsibility for it if you do). Good will and fortune may come to you, or it may not, but at least you won't have to throw out those single sox without a match.
Happy Mismatched Sox Day!

I am no Wiki expert, but I thought that I was getting more time. I had corresponded with "Gwen" when she declined speedy deletion, and thought that as long as I was adding refs, I would get a break, and perhaps some help from other posters as info on Robert K. Hall (national guard officer) filled out. I have no pers ax to grind here. He is not related or known to me except for what little I have been able to find in primary sources. I only got started on this because, my hero, Chesty Puller gets pages, yet the General himself said that but for (then) LTC Hall's action (then) LtCol Puller would have died at Henderson Field. Marines love to sneer at the National Guard, (and all other services for that matter), but 3/164th was special, and I think (and I am trying to get PRIMARY sources here)that Bob Hall was the reason.

You are right of course. I could have done a better job. The guy is long dead , and I can't even find birth/death dates, with perhaps, 10 manhours into the project. I have a call into a college professor who is doing a book on the 164th,(he is on vaca) and am trying to fit the very limited hours of the Worcester, Ma. Americal archives into my sched. (other archives are in ND, I will not get there). I could have done a better job, but I have little doubt that he could withstand a deletion discussion with better writing and a little more info, but this is not about me,,,,,,,,,,,it is about Robert. K. Hall. Another Wikipedian who is an expert on the Battle for Henderson Field has already told me that it should not have been deleted, and that if he had known the page existed, he would have helped. I have started lots of subjects that have been improved by others, and I never consider my version to be the final or best. Setting it up in my user space will not be a big help, because except for the museum and prof Shoptauge, I have exhaused my resources. Even though my piece is lacking, it is more info than one can find in any other single place. I would appreciate a discussion among Guadalcanal experts as to the value of having Robert K. Hall in Wikipedia, along with good links to his name in the Gualalcanal story. Best regards!! Todd Jtmilesmmr ( talk) 23:45, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing out that the user name is too long. Unfortunately, I disagree with your claim that 'there is nothing wrong with this username in theory'. In fact, the name itself is jingoistic as it demonstrates all the hallmarks of ultra-nationalism. So the name is threatening to some editors; in particular, it appears to have been selected to insult people of Vietnamese background.
I will be reporting the user shortly to the administrators for various forms of abuse that have been occurring.

I was going to redirect it to Rogue (computer game) but feel it is unecessary considering the amulet is just an object in the game.

The criteria for speedy deletion states: "Before nominating an article for speedy deletion, consider whether it could be improved, reduced to a stub, merged or redirected elsewhere or be handled with some other action short of deletion. If this is possible, speedy deletion is probably inappropriate. Contributors sometimes create articles over several edits, so try to avoid deleting a page too soon after its creation if it appears incomplete".
The article was nominated for speedy deletion just minutes after its creation. I believe this is speedy nomination and that specifically no effort was made to consider if it could be improved in a way to not meet the speedy deletion criteria.
Please consider removing the speedy deletion tag as fast as it was improperly added. Uiteoi ( talk) 14:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

On the Princess Sally Acorn I frankly don't believe that there is any serious chance of consensus being reached. AMiB is clearly in the minority on the page discussion, but continues to revert without any kind of serious discussion. I tried to mediate (though I'm an inclusionist and thus biased perhaps), but he refuses to use anything but his own work as a starting point and doesn't actively engage. I feel that locking the page with his version active will make this discussion very difficult to have (not to mention rewarding all the reverts he's done). I understand your page protection isn't an enforcement of content, but I suspect that page won't be unblocked anytime soon. For the record, I think a lot of what he did to that page was to the good, but he won't engage in meaningful discussion and reverts things he doesn't like. In any case, I'll be unwatching the page and let others deal with this. Hobit ( talk) 15:31, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

First of all, I'd just like to thank you for protecting the Princess Sally Acorn article, a few editors had obviously forgotten the etiquette that we on Wikipedia are held up to. Anyway, I thought that you may want to add a tag to the top of the article explaining the status of the article. By this I mean a tag similar to the one currently on the Burma article of Wikipedia, but rather, involving edits.
