Hello, I just found out that you sent three articles to WP:AFD. So you do agree with me and Opinoso that many articles in Template:Demographics of Brazil are really useless, and they need to be deleted. I do wonder why Skanter created so many pages and left them almost empty? Opinoso actually WP:PROD these articles, but they were somehow removed, so I decided to intervene and sent seven article to WP:AFD, four have already been successfully deleted. Anyways, Thanks for your help on sending these articles to WP:AFD. I do appreciate the help. Lehoiberri ( talk) 18:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
Thanks, I forgot to change the backgrounds back to the original. Apologies. Best, PeterSymonds (talk) 09:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Metropolitan90, please reconsider your "speedy keep" response at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Best In Show Radio and other AfD debates. The debate should be about the substance of the deletion reason. I nominated them because I believe that the original Prod reason was substantial enough to warrant debate. Speedy keeping these on the grounds that I used the term "procedural nomination" is not based in policy or practice. Please address the substance of the deletion reasons. Thanks, Gwernol 22:05, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
Can someone help me get some work going here. Would like to add information on and about Len Berzerk.-- 67.87.207.249 ( talk) 12:25, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
I did a double-take on this edit. An admin applying an hangon tag to an article written by someone else! Have I been mis-reading the rule book? Surely anyone except the creator may remove a speedy tag? Sgroupace ( talk) 01:42, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
A
proposed deletion template has been added to the article
Carolyn Joyce Carty, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's
criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "
What Wikipedia is not" and
Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{
dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on
its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. jonathon ( talk) 02:25, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, I've rewritten pixologist and encourage you to revisit Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pixologist to see if your concerns have been addressed. Please note that a name change to pixel artist is almost assured if the article is kept. Banjeboi 20:53, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
Your comment here is being construed as authorization to continue use of the disputed source, the recent Kennedy Gotha, to substantiate the contention that Nicholas Romanov, Prince of Russia has been recognized by the Almanach de Gotha as "the senior male representative" of the Romanovs. That isn't my read of what you're saying. Could you please review the posted arguments and clarify? Thanks. FactStraight ( talk) 11:09, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
There is an ongoing discussion on its talk page right now.

Hi there, could you help me delete this image because it was copied from another website without permission. Thanks. -- Amazonien ( talk) 02:04, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
You can go here: [1] to order your own copy of it. Or, as I stated, I will scan it an email it to you. To be honest, the insinuation that I am fabricating this is insulting. Niteshift36 ( talk) 16:01, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
The item is not copyrighted, but some material in it should not be posted to a public website. The main reason the feds don't and why they rarely produce reports limited to specific gangs is that it feeds their egos. That's why most of their reports on the topic talk about gangs in general and don't specify certain ones. Niteshift36 ( talk) 16:17, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Keeping the template as a redirect has essentially the same effect as keeping the old template (it can be used in mainspace), so I have deleted it again. If you want to remove the ugly red links from talk pages, it is probably better to request a bot run to remove the transclusions from non-mainspace.

As you're one of the few admins I've had direct contact with (and that was fleeting and a long time ago) I was wondering if you could help (or recommend someone to help) with an edit war I seem to be in on the Flag football page with User:LouPepe. He insists on adding an external link to a web site which I've repeatedly asked him to justify with regard to notability. What information he's provided in return has either directly shown it's lack of verifiability or it's origin as original research. He doesn't seem to be taking the hint. Have I lost my perspective? Could you provide some? Thanks. -- Bdoserror ( talk) 04:43, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
Tara McCluskey I figured it out.
Hi Metropolitan90
You edited the Tara McCluskey article earlier. I had input the information and wasn't really sure how to go about doing so. I thought I had finally figured out how to create the sub catagories through the proper code. I didn't realize that it was you who had done it for me :-) I was so proud of myself when I clicked the save page and saw that each subcategory had the edit button on it. I had not read the reasons for the changes for the removal of the links on my page to John Paul DeJoria and I appreciate that you authorized leaving the entry in Wikipedia. I apologize, I was not trying to offend you by putting them back. I just didn't know why they had dissappeared. I noticed after reading the editing log that it appears that you tagged the Tara McCluskey page for deletion after my going back carelessly and putting them back. Please forgive me :-( Have a wonderful day -- tgsnewswire Tgsnewswire ( talk)

Hey metropolitan, you left me this message on my talk page: "Welcome to Wikipedia.

You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:17, 20 September 2008 (UTC)"
I'm not sure what I did. I most likely created/edited that page during new page patrol, which I have been doing for the last half hour or so, and I put a speedy delete tag on the page, and also a notice on that user's talk page. Thanks in advance. Pirate452 ( talk) 03:21, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, I should have just removed the link, as per WP:EL. I'll be more careful next time.— Dæ dαlus Contribs / Improve 07:44, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
You have been blocked from editing Wikipedia for a period of 10 years as a result of your disruptive edits. You are free to make constructive edits after the block has expired, but please note that vandalism (including page blanking or addition of random text), spam, deliberate misinformation, privacy violations, personal attacks; and repeated, blatant violations of our policies concerning neutral point of view and biographies of living persons will not be tolerated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.220.62.56 ( talk • contribs)
Basically my little brother set up the account then used a bunch of user subpages to vandalise/write absolute nonsense e.g. [ [2]] Therefore, this user is not a real user, you can see he has made like 3 edits ever and I wanted the account/page deleted before someone suspected it of being a puppet acount.

You declined the speedy on this article but failed to provide any explanation at all. Please explain your actions. - Realkyhick ( Talk to me) 18:07, 29 September 2008 (UTC)
Hi there. I just noticed your comment you left on Mnpil's page. I'm helping to wikify an article that they're having some CSD and wikification trouble with. Thanks for giving them time for an explanation - I'm sure one will follow. I think the user has used the User space to create a record of their article, so that they can refer to it if the article is deleted - it's an exact copy of the article (before I wikified it). I suppose this would be in place of a personal sandbox. I'll explain the sandbox idea whenever the user comes online again. Once again thanks for being patient. I noticed you got blocked by an IP - first I've seen - you must have felt pretty bad after that. ;) These IP's huh? Olly150 20:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
