Since you said "wish me luck", (hee hee) I looked it over, and it looks right. MiszaBot runs every day starting right about now, so you should get archived around 9:30am EST every day. So check back here in about an hour, and it should be working. The bot doesn't update the archive box though, you'll have to do that automatically, adding the new pages.

Equal signs in template parameters can cause problems. The two = in the URL can be replaced with {{ equals}}. {{ =}} wouldn't work here. Another possibility here: Start the whole parameter (not just the URL) with 1=. This template is substituted so a third possibility is to omit = and just make a new edit with normal = after substitution. PrimeHunter 21:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time for a helpful review! I'll be more diligent with vandalism corrections in the future... they are annoying to fix but certainly worthwhile. I do have a question about adopting pages... the WikiPoker page encourages members to adopt pages, but I don't see that as very widespread in other projects (nor do I see many pages adopted). Obviously it is wrong to consider a page *yours* in any way, but in general is it encouraged or discouraged to adopt pages? Macboots 00:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing up the different language tagging system for Wikipedia articles. I'll keep that in mind. The main reason I tagged DEVIL UNITED was because of the random seeming text and example image at the bottom of the page, which I felt merited need for speedy deletion. However, if you feel that this article could be better dealt with through translation, I totally agree. -- TheBressman 13:44, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

I need some guidance on how to proceed with an apparent sockpuppet. I initially reported the issue several days ago to admin Can't sleep, clown will eat me on his talk page, but haven't heard back from him. The apparent puppeteer is TCrEoLe89 (banned by Can't sleep, clown will eat me) and the puppet TCR89. They both exhibit the same pattern of uploading copyright violation images, some of them the same images ( Brittany Daniel). Also the names are obviously pretty similar... After reporting the sockpuppet, I went ahead read the Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. Based on the template instructions at the bottom, I thought I was supposed to go ahead and post a suspected sockpuppet template on the the TCR89 user page. TCrEoLe89 already had a template on his page, so I added TCR89 to the list of suspected puppets... Not hearing back from the admin, I starting researching more and looked at the Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. After reading that page, now I'm thinking that I got ahead of myself by posting the templates, and I'm really confused on how to proceed with the issue. It really seems pretty open and shut, but Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets doesn't want cases older than a week... Furthermore the Wikipedia:Sock puppetry page is really confusing me... are all the instructions specifically for admins? If so, why isn't that noted on the page (or am I missing something)? Any help guidance you can provide would be most appreciated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macboots ( talk • contribs) 18:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, let me go through and list the ones you can use tls with:
Those are the ones, if you want to, you can change to the tls use to have the clicky-wiky-linkies. You still have to add your four tildes at the end to sign them, of course. But yeah, anything that you'd add a parameter to (article, username, etc), that doesn't work with unless you add that parameter. Like you can still have {{ subst:Creation}} , but you'd have to copy it, and then know to type whatever parameter it requires, in this case, |user ({{subst:Creation|user}}).

Dear Moonriddengirl you deleted my articles Robert Piemme and Greenwood Cultural Society of Pennsylvaina. I can understand why you deleted them. The Greenwood is not very well known and I certinly am not famous. I do plan on repwriting the Greenwood Article because the first time it was not well written and therefore not important to Wiki. However I do believe that Greenwood should be on Wiki. When I re-write the article on Monday please check it out and see what you think. Please keep up the goog work, there are many stubs and other articles that do not belong on Wiki, but I fell that Greenwood does. If you would like to responed, please contact me Greenwood1010.

wow, every-time I've tried to make a page on here about an underground music group it gets deleted. I try to make these pages because I go to look them up on here and see nothing about them so I decide to make one.
I thought that was the whole point of this site but I was dead wrong. I understand that this site has to cite refrences, but it's kind of hard when its a small unknown band. I put their biography from their own web-site and that isn't good enough.
So I get it, I won't make another page on here because it's a waste of time....I will now go get cancer and fuck myself.

Hi Moonriddengirl,
You deleted my article that I'd started about the band "earthendesign", who was active and released albums in the first half of 1990. You deleted them under the criteria that the band was not notable.
I read through that area, but the specific criteria on whether or not the band was notable was a gray area. The band released 2 albums, for a total of 14 songs, and played concerts in Connecticut and New York. They were interviewed and reviewed in hardcore (music) magazines and college newspapers, and played shows with more established bands such as Hatebreed and Sam Black Church.
My plan was to post the history of the band on wikipedia, but if the band is not notable enough, I understand.
Note - I just read through the criteria, and I agree, earthendesign does not meet them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juicerocket ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

MRG, I've noticed that you've been removing speedy tags from articles which are, bluntly put, garbage. I know process is important, but it's also important to use your judgment. Just because something isn't nonsense of the "egt76 dgukf45e7 FLURGH GLURF GIRAFFE-FLAVORED NIPPLECLAMP" type, that doesn't mean it should go to AfD. Articles which are blatantly and obviously garbage can be deleted out of hand. You don't have to use the code-numbers in the Speedy criteria - I suggest you read my deletion log to see some example rationales. DS 03:42, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Hello,
I saw that the synopsis of the novel The Final Warning was removed due to a copyright violation. So my question is that is it okay to use the summary from Amazon.co.uk if reference that web page or do I entirely have to create a new summary?
Rudeboy2025 02:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Ah ok but what if the novel is not going to be released until next year so I would have no clue what the book would be about. Do I just read the already provided summary and rewrite that summary? I mean it wouldn't make much difference although it would get rid of the copyright problem. Not arguing just pointing that out.
Rudeboy2025 14:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok thanks. Will look around on the WikiProject Novels to check about the summary from Amazon thing. Thanks :)

Your excellent work on anti-vandalism makes you deserving of this barnstar. May you go in peace to continue anti-vandalism. Excellent editing, Laleena 00:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC) |
Would you be willing to deal with a copyright issue? It has already been explained to the editor in question, as have the obvious WP:COI issues, but the editor seems unwilling to respect Wikipedia policy and guidelines, and has repeated the violation on their userpage: User:Eriko E. Gale has placed verbatim liner notes from her father's CD, with no evidence of permission: States at the bottom of the page: "(As appeared on the inside sleeve (a.k.a C.D. liner) of Eric Gale's album "Ginseng Woman & Multiplication", courtesy of Columbia Jazz Contemporary Masters, re-released in 1991 (released originally in 1977 by Sony Music)" I think perhaps a word from an administrator may assist this user in understanding that the editors she's been in contact with are indeed, citing proper policy and guideline, and especially with regards to copyright, these things are taken quite seriously. Ariel ♥ Gold 01:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
You've been so helpful giving me pointers... so I'm back for more guidance! I'm trying to get more involved in the community, and have have listed a few copyvio's for deletion. One I listed was Image:Lanalang.jpg. Limetolime was the uploader, who then went and removed the deletion tag from the page as well as removing my comments from the image deletion discussion. Going to his talk page, I noticed he has been under quite a bit of scrutiny for copyvio's. Only thing is, he seems to consistently go and improperly delete the deletion tags off the pages... (examples, Image:S1dvd.jpg, Image:Gemanscreenshot.jpg, and Image:Superman gift.jpg). In the specific instance of Annette O'Toole's image, I went ahead and left a note for him on his talk page to please not delete the tags in the future. However, what's the correct way to pursue the issue with him repeatedly removing deletion tags off contested images? Macboots 02:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. :) I just wanted to point out to you that the above article actually did have a reference when you placed your "unreferenced" tag on it here. The reference is in the infobox and can be traced by following the "link". When I first started working on albums, I was confused by this as well, but this is the standard placement as developed by consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. I also wanted to note that the article had the "inuse" tag at the top of it at the time you edited. Of course, it is only a request that other editors not edit the article while the tag is in place, in order to avoid edit conflicts, and you were well within your rights to ignore the request, but it is a nice gesture to hold off while the article is under active construction to see how it develops. You may already be well familiar with that template, but since you're on new page patrol I thought I would point it out to you in case you were not. :) -- Moonriddengirl 22:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

if such articles do not exist on the project as of yet.....as "substitutes".....is there any way i can use the multitude of consent forms signed by subway riders participating in the project already, and articles summarizing other experiential websites ("genre-ing" the same subject matter - NYC Subways)???
i read credible sources include the following:
1. idea or project (New York City Subway photo-documentary) 2. project creator info (Quagmeyer Productions, Inc.) 3. a site to substantiate the idea exists (www.nycmetroproject.com)

Howdy hi. If (and only if) you have a second, could you take a look at this [3]? It's a sock puppetry case I filed a couple days ago. Fairly long-term hoaxing (over a year now, I believe) has been going on from various and sundry accounts and IP's (Youtubians with little imagination, or so Google tells me). It may be meatpuppetry too. What I'm buggin' you about, though, is whether there's something else that I could do. I know there's various BADWORDS bots out there. "Rosster" would be a great word to be reverted on sight. But I'm not sure where to go with it. RFCU seems rather pointless. Long-term abuse probably won't get any kind of lasting effect. The sockpuppetry filing seems kinda pointless. I made it because an admin told me that it would be quicker than my reports to AIV had been but...you know, I still say AIV's quicker. Anyway.

No worries - I've wikilinked to the Hebrew article, so people can copy across stuff from there - I only had time to do his DOB and name earlier, but I'll have a look at doing more stuff later. I was surprised to see him up for speedy deletion yesterday when I was trawling through Category:Candidates for speedy deletion last night, so I'm glad you restored it.

I would like to add simple technical drawings to my article. I have them in a book. I know that if I scan and post them that they will be removed immediately. However, since they’re so simple, I would like to redraw them myself and then post them. Is this okay to do? I do not intend on changing anything in the drawing. I would really like to add visual aids because I think they would be very helpful in the explanation of seam types.
I saw that you added my article to the “see also” section of the Textile Manufacturing article. It was really exciting to see my contributions as a link on someone else’s article. Thank you for your help and positive reinforcement!

Don't like it - the yellow's too bright. There's an excellent html colour picker here; if you put color=#123456 in the mediawiki software will recognise it, you're not constrained to the "Yellow", "Orangered" etc. — iride scent 20:11, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
Did you notice that the purology edit on New Contributors Help Page has exactly the same structure as the redken one? It may be the case of the same spammer creating multiple accounts and using each of them to make such edits with the intentions of getting traffic to his/her sites? I may be wrong on this one, but it looks to me like it's blatant advertising so I thoughht I'd consult with you ;) MarkMarek 20:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

This may help give some background. Also, you might want to review the methods of "warnings" this editor gives, they are not really what I'd call being in-line with WP:AGF or with the guidelines for recent changes patrollers, warning levels and templates, and the overall method of dealing with unconstructive edits. I think the editor has good intentions as far as wishing to deal with vandalism, but I'm quite concerned that the basics have been ignored, past the point of IAR, and this "project" is unnecessary, and not a good idea.

I'm not very familiar with wikipedia editing, so I was unable to fix the vandalism, but someone has changed song titles and a highway name to be obscene.

You've put a copyright disclaimer on the sandbox-restore of Chitauri that you created for me earlier on. I was under the impression that this page was deleted on notability and verifiability grounds and that there was no copyright issue. I was also under the impression that users who contributed to Wikipedia did so on the understanding that anything that they put on of their own making automatically became more or less public property under GFDL. Is this no longer the case? If so, shouldn't the GFDL notice under the editing box be removed?

I just want to say sorry for the comment I made yesterday...I am no longer upset with those who "opposed" the Wikipedia Users' Alliance. I have since called for it's deletion and admited defeat. Thnak you and again sorry-- Greenwood1010 12:20, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
Please note: this message is being sent out to all involved parties. Dear Friend, the Wikipedia Users’ Alliance has been deleted. I am sure that perhaps you already knew this. I myself just found out. Anyhow during the debate many mean and rude things where said. I am not innocent myself; I too contributed to the unpleasantness. But now Wikipedia Users’ Alliance is dead, gone forever. But we all must move on, for me and my friends, we have to deal with this loss. However it is important that all of us work together to fight vandalism and not argue with one another. There are many things that I want to say, but I know that they would only add to the mean sprit that fills the “air”. As a Buddhist ( Risshō Kōsei Kai) I was reading the Holy Dhammapada yesterday. I came across this line, “Holding onto anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intent to throw it at someone, in the end you are the one who gets burned,” how true! Lets us progress forward. WUA Founder User: King of Nepal has expressed similar views such as these to me via e-mail. His majesty said, “We have to move on, move forward. It is in the best interest of Wikipedia and us all.” I agree and hope that you do to. Thanks. -- Greenwood1010 12:53, 23 October 2007 (UTC) Co-founder of the WUA.

Moonriddengirl,
I could use your help. I am new to wikipedia and never knew there was such restrictions. I wrote the content on both pages so I never thought there would be a major problem duplicating it. I apologize for this. If you have some further suggestions I would be grateful. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wallaceburghistory ( talk • contribs) 22:35, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank-you so much for your help I now understand why one has to do what you did. I feel I have now learned a good Wikipedia lesson:) Now I am going to try and reproduce what you did. I copied a lot of the material to the James Paris Lee article earlier as well. However, now I am afraid I do not know what to do when the information is relevent to more than one article?-- Wallaceburghistory ( talk) 23:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
You have been and are very helpful. The person who edited the James Paris Lee page has been very rude to me on a couple of occassions. If you look at his talk page he has quite the history of offending people. I would like to thank-you again for making edits the right way in a very respectful and helpful manner.

Just wanted to drop a note about your removal about "The Hall Monitors" page here. I nominated the page for speedy deletion because there is no such group as "The Hall Monitors." The student section at Assembly Hall at Indiana University has no official name. Because of the name not existing in any official capacity, I believe that the page should be deleted.

Hi, I was wondering why the article on Konee Rok was being considered for deletion I was really actually suprised he did not have an article. I dont know a lot about how articles are supposed to be creative, but I tried my best to make it professional informative. I added some of his contributions to hsi repected genre of art in order to better show his relevence.
If theres any way you can help me understand and improve even more so, so that it and future articles will not be deleted that would be very helpful.
Take care

I contributed to the deletion discussion like you recommended =-) hopefully that can help. At what point would the nomination for deletion as well as other nominations be removed.

Hey there; thanks for pointing me to the results of that case; I had lost track of it all with all the labyrinthine webs of commentary that user had generated!

Hi. I think our discussion got archived. I'm working on a list of which templates transclude which.

I can continue whatever I'm doing with db-bio and this list etc. meanwhile.

Hello Moon. Thanks for your helpful note on my stumbling attempts to write my first Wikipedia entry. As soon as I realised that I had done something against the rules, I tried to delete everything, including the notices, which just made things worse! And then someone else kept "reverting" my deletions and told me I was doing something destructive (which was not the case since I was only trying to get rid of the copyrighted material). Eventually I went to bed and hoped for the best. When I try again, I'll read the rules a little more thoroughly, play in the sandbox until I'm sure I've got it right. Thanks again.

The problem is that the Job queue is severely backlogged, so the page is still showing up in the category. When you remove a category from a template, the page transcluding that template will still show up in the category until the job queue catches up and removes it. There are several other categories on the working page that have been correctly emptied, just waiting for the same thing. If you look at the bottom of the page and you don't see the category, then it will disappear when the job queue catches up. So you are free to remove Category:Wikipedians interested in books from the working list, good work! VegaDark ( talk) 18:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Moon,
Regarding the speedy deletion, an NPR piece on my latest commissioned work, ItSpace will be heard on NPR's Day to Day some time in the next week or two. The radio piece has been completed and picked up by the show, it is just a matter of scheduling as to when they will fit it in (it is a news show and the major news stories come first). Once the piece is broadcast, I will meet the basic criteria (if I don't already) for musician entries "Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network". Several of my pieces have also been exhibited in notable new media and network art exhibits, but there doesn't seem to be a criteria that includes those within the WP:MUSIC guidelines.

Thanks a lot for your helpful reply. A question I have now is this: If I rewrite the article (or write any other article for that matter), is there a way I can get it approved, so to speak, before actually posting it as an article, to ensure that the article is acceptable before posting and won't get deleted? If so, and if I could get feedback if my article isn't up to standard, then I could make a quality article, rather than simply having the article deleted like what happened to me, which really wasn't productive for anyone. I appreciate any information you have, and if you wouldn't mind posting your reply on my talk page again, that would be great. Thanks. Ununtrium ( talk) 04:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia has a problem with the article about the message board system called Yuku. I believe the disruptions have been going back and forth for several years. Could you please have a look at the end of the part called objectivity? Seems like a couple of the editors are mostly interested in a negative angle because of their own personal negative experience. I don't believe this kind of editing is in harmony with the pillars of the Wikipedia.

The guy posted the link to his own private blog. The blog is a diary of his private vendetta with this online service. He had probably removed the link when you looked. If you have seen the blog, you would probably see it is not in good faith. I understand your point though and I had already read the part about good faith.
I also thought wiki was based on editors working for consensus. He is constantly removing anything anybody is writing that may be positive. He has chased away all the other editors. It is just amazing. It makes people stop believing in Wikipedia. It is sad. He is using the Wikipedia for his private battleground. Could you please keep an eye on us?

OK so I post a complaint at ANI about the incessant anti-Semitic rants by an editor all over an article Talk Page, and I get told by some supposed admin to "shut the hell up?"

Just a friendly question on the Mudos redirect you restored. It seems the IP user was looking for MudOS, and didn't realize the capitalization would make a difference.

Hi Moonriddengirl
Thank you very much for your comments in the Deletion Review on Avanti Construction.

Sincere thanks.

Hi. You commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Syrym that the article should be redirected if independent sourcing couldn't be found. Since that AfD, there still aren't any references establishing notability. Should be redirected to its parent article, Babylon A.D., now? Funeral 17:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi. :) Working on the backlog at AfD, I noticed that the bots weren't properly cataloging this one as closed. I think on investigation that it may be because you put the closure template below the header, here. The template needs to go above the header, and I think now I know why. :) I've reformatted this one, and the bot seems to be handling it correctly now. I realize this could have been a one-off accident, but in case it was something you didn't know, I wanted to point it out to you. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

I have now added the date of the start and have improved the entry. I am really enjoying this Wikipedian activity and I am learning so much.
Thank you very much indeed for your advice and help.

I reported IP 209.191.2.178 just a moment ago, and you responded very quickly (thank you for that). This IP has previously been blocked for vandalism and has continued to do so after the block was lifted. Once a block is lifted, is the user back at "square one" and should receive a first warning, second warning, final warning, etc. all over again, or should they be reported for any vandalism after a block has been lifted? I apologize if this is mentioned in WP policy, but I've never read it anywhere. Thanks for your help! Editortothemasses ( talk) 16:02, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
In theory you register at Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status to be a coach. Then either a user finds you or the coaching coordinator nudges the user in your direction. The coord over the last year was moving into a long-term wikibreak, but now that I've start filling some of her role, coaches on Wikipedia:Admin coaching/Status should start seeing people come their way.

Thank you for your advice. I'm not sure I was necessarily proposing a merge when I opened the AfD; I merely cited it as one possibility. In any case, there's barely any useful information on that page to be merged into another page.

Hello, Moonriddengirl. This is up for deletion review. BlueAzure contends the claims to notability are not supported by reliable sources. At a glance, it looks OK to me. Can you walk me through so I better understand the Keep rationale? Cheers, Dloh cierekim 03:29, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
I've read the entire AN/I thread (or I did earlier today), and the DRV, and to be quite honest, this is pointless.
Why is there even a DRV? The articles were restored. Once they're translated, they can be moved. I was asked to restore them by someone who said he would translate them himself. This is ridiculous. DS ( talk) 20:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Hello Moonriddengirl, and thanks for clarification. I'm only recently starting to help patrolling Wikipedia, So I still get the policies wrong from time to time. In this specifically case I thought about reporting only after the second IP vandalized in the same (close enough) way the same article. And I realized it could be someone hopping on computers inside an university. It is in my watch list and I will escalate the warnings as it goes, if it happens.
Now a question, if another IP from the same domain do the same vandalizing on that article, can I issue a level 2 or 3 warning, or do I have to issue a level 1?. Thanks Samuel Sol ( talk) 20:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey there--I had hoped to spare you further drama until at least the springtime, but was not to be. Is there any way to eviscerate from my Wikipedia life the incessant, skin-crawlingly creepy stalking of Calton? He has, you may recall, been harassing me ever since I had the nerve to challenge his buddy Griot, the now departed mega sock puppeteer. Calton has filed false sock puppet cases against me and generally stalked my movement since. I filed a Wikiquette notice regarding his gratuitous personal attacks here, but apparently no one cares. No one as well seems to care about his using his cranky user page as a forum to attack and demean a real life person (a BLP issue I tried to address).
He put yet another a harassing message on my talk page here, which I deleted. He followed with a repeat, and additional vituperative bile here.
Filing Wikiquette complaints against this creepy, creepy editor, and his sleazy behavior, seem to be ignored. What to do?
Thanks again, Boodlesthecat ( talk) 15:23, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
I would appreciate it if you would not delete my Warren :) page again. As far as I can see there could be no harm from having the page up, and no legitimate reason to have it removed. The act of removing the page is borderline unconstitutional, as it is a real part of our culture here, and should be respected as such. I can't imagine you removed pages concerning aliens, bigfoot, or Jesus, so it would be well appreciated if you would not remove Warren :).

Hello. I see that you salted David Motari. Since you did so, an article has been created at Motari David about the same subject. Unfortunately, I could not find any basis on which to speedy it (it's clearly not an A7, in my view, and I think the reasonably thorough sourcing prevents it from being a G10), so I've taken it to AfD, where I doubt it will survive. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about it, and also let you know that if you do perceive a valid speedy rationale (your protection of the original location suggests to me that you don't think a valid article could possibly be created on the subject), I wouldn't object to your speedying it.

You were really helpful when I started a page on the novel Runemarks. I started again and thought I did a lot better, but was startled to find that another editor RHaworth had deleted large chunks of text and left an {{ Advert}} tag and an impolite message. I think it's called biting in Wikipedia talk. And now I find that someone else has just blanked the page completely (even though I had a "underconstruction" sign up. I've restored the page for the moment but need advice. Obviously I need to edit the text to work within the novel project guidelines. But I thought the guidelines for editing behaviour suggest that editors who think text needs revising should say so on the talk page first. I also read somewhere that there are guidelines about not biting newbies (which neither of the editors who have attacked the Runemarks page seems to be paying any attention to). Runemarks, as a novel, fulfills the notability criteria for both the author and the number of copies sold. I started the page because it interested me and I wanted to try my hand at Wikipedia, and I've told a few people who've also read the book about it and suggested that they might like to contribute. They can't do that if it keeps getting deleted. Advice, please. I feel well and truly bitten.-- Plad2 ( talk) 18:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
I wanted to thank you for all the help you've given in the deletion review discussion I initiated. You've been great in trying to initiate a dialog with the deleting admin, even if they haven't been so responsive.

Since you seem to know what you're doing with merging/AfD's/all that stuff, I thought I'd ask you a question: if an article has been merged into another article (which saves its history, talk page, etc), should all of the WikiProject banners and what not be taken off the old article's talk page since it's basically a glorified redirect at this point?

Hello, Moonriddengirl. In one occasion there I participated you provided an outside opinion. Now, I would like to ask similar thing. Initially I filled 3rd party request, however it was unlisted, because at the end were involved more party editors (currently inactive again). Later, I added RfC, but for some reason it is not working (as I understand due to bot problems).

I'm not clear on why adding a link to a site with lyrics is a copyright violation. The lyrics aren't on a Wikipedia page. SpanishStroll ( talk) 01:15, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
...nowhere in the arguments for deletion was the claim that notability was inherited - that was a strawman that those pushing deletion came up with. Those urging for keeping the article came up with direct quotes for both creation and reception. All of the reasons that led to the article's deletion were strawmen, and I provided direct examples as to why they were untrue (while those pushing deletion just kept saying that it violated GUIDE, without ever giving an example). Could you please tell me where to find information on getting a deletion re-looked at? I also asked for some time to be allowed to address the problems, as we were given no prior notice, and it was the middle of exam week.
As also explained in the AfD, the article is completely redundant on the DMC wiki - we already have all that information, and more. As such, I am deleting it on the DMC wiki, as it is completely redundant and useless there. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 18:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry but where was any consesus reached and any real reason raised for the deletion of the article that you just went ahead and deleted it? We raised multiple examples and reasons for it to be allowed more time to evolve and improve and we're just ignored? What the hell? Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 20:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Since you've read the comments then perhaps you can understand my comments where I linked to at least 3 separate articles that feature similarly to this one and yet remain unchanged nearly a year later while this one was put up for AfD after only a month during which time only two editors worked on it. We were never given a chance to bring it up but as it was it was still a fair article and as notable as anything like list of enemies in mario bros. I'm not trying to come off as agressive with you but it is frustrating that our arguements were ignored completely to arguements which did not prove lack of notability or lack of worthiness to exist on Wikipedia or simply those that said "Burn it in fire, its a game guide, die article die". Loosely translated. It was never a game guide and myself and Kryten never intended it to be anything of the sort. Its a brief article. Hell, theres a seperate list now JUST for Resident Evil 4 enemies. I feel that this article has been targeted and treated unfairly and given the stable and rational arguements given for saving it and giving it a chance to improve to some apparently high standards, its deletion was not warranted. Hell, Caribbean moved it from merge to AfD in like 2 days as if he had some personal grudge against it.
As for earlier comments, I didn't know you'd moved the data, for that I thank you as some of it was definetly worthy of saving despite what others think. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 20:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
If you could give me the data, that would be great, I can see no way to obtain it from the deleted article. As for the article, I don't take it personally but am still agrieved. While I know that pointing out other articles of the same status is not a valid arguement it is still ridiculous to so agressively target this particular one, declaring it all unnotable and not even trying to salvage the notable ones. As stated, the other articles are similar if not exactly the same and RE is no more notable than Devil May Cry, not in a quantifiable way anyway so, as you said, when people attack the work almost with venom and seemingly without having actually read it (Again pointing out the "game guide" comments), it is frustrating that they still succeeded in robbing us of the chance to develop the article.
Anyway, thanks for being amiable about the situation, its CaribbeanHQ thats caused my issues not you so I apologise if I seemed agressive at all. Bye. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 22:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Equal signs in template parameters can cause problems. The two = in the URL can be replaced with {{ equals}}. {{ =}} wouldn't work here. Another possibility here: Start the whole parameter (not just the URL) with 1=. This template is substituted so a third possibility is to omit = and just make a new edit with normal = after substitution. PrimeHunter 21:30, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for taking the time for a helpful review! I'll be more diligent with vandalism corrections in the future... they are annoying to fix but certainly worthwhile. I do have a question about adopting pages... the WikiPoker page encourages members to adopt pages, but I don't see that as very widespread in other projects (nor do I see many pages adopted). Obviously it is wrong to consider a page *yours* in any way, but in general is it encouraged or discouraged to adopt pages? Macboots 00:12, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing up the different language tagging system for Wikipedia articles. I'll keep that in mind.

I need some guidance on how to proceed with an apparent sockpuppet. I initially reported the issue several days ago to admin Can't sleep, clown will eat me on his talk page, but haven't heard back from him. The apparent puppeteer is TCrEoLe89 (banned by Can't sleep, clown will eat me) and the puppet TCR89. They both exhibit the same pattern of uploading copyright violation images, some of them the same images ( Brittany Daniel). Also the names are obviously pretty similar... After reporting the sockpuppet, I went ahead read the Wikipedia:Sock puppetry. Based on the template instructions at the bottom, I thought I was supposed to go ahead and post a suspected sockpuppet template on the the TCR89 user page. TCrEoLe89 already had a template on his page, so I added TCR89 to the list of suspected puppets... Not hearing back from the admin, I starting researching more and looked at the Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets. After reading that page, now I'm thinking that I got ahead of myself by posting the templates, and I'm really confused on how to proceed with the issue. It really seems pretty open and shut, but Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets doesn't want cases older than a week... Furthermore the Wikipedia:Sock puppetry page is really confusing me... are all the instructions specifically for admins? If so, why isn't that noted on the page (or am I missing something)? Any help guidance you can provide would be most appreciated! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Macboots ( talk • contribs) 18:57, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

I thought that was the whole point of this site but I was dead wrong. I understand that this site has to cite refrences, but it's kind of hard when its a small unknown band. I put their biography from their own web-site and that isn't good enough.

Hi Moonriddengirl,
You deleted my article that I'd started about the band "earthendesign", who was active and released albums in the first half of 1990. You deleted them under the criteria that the band was not notable.
I read through that area, but the specific criteria on whether or not the band was notable was a gray area. The band released 2 albums, for a total of 14 songs, and played concerts in Connecticut and New York. They were interviewed and reviewed in hardcore (music) magazines and college newspapers, and played shows with more established bands such as Hatebreed and Sam Black Church.
My plan was to post the history of the band on wikipedia, but if the band is not notable enough, I understand.
Note - I just read through the criteria, and I agree, earthendesign does not meet them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Juicerocket ( talk • contribs) 18:20, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

MRG, I've noticed that you've been removing speedy tags from articles which are, bluntly put, garbage. I know process is important, but it's also important to use your judgment. Just because something isn't nonsense of the "egt76 dgukf45e7 FLURGH GLURF GIRAFFE-FLAVORED NIPPLECLAMP" type, that doesn't mean it should go to AfD.

I saw that the synopsis of the novel The Final Warning was removed due to a copyright violation. So my question is that is it okay to use the summary from Amazon.co.uk if reference that web page or do I entirely have to create a new summary?
Rudeboy2025 02:34, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Ah ok but what if the novel is not going to be released until next year so I would have no clue what the book would be about. Do I just read the already provided summary and rewrite that summary? I mean it wouldn't make much difference although it would get rid of the copyright problem. Not arguing just pointing that out.
Rudeboy2025 14:38, 30 September 2007 (UTC)
Ok thanks. Will look around on the WikiProject Novels to check about the summary from Amazon thing. Thanks :)

Your excellent work on anti-vandalism makes you deserving of this barnstar. May you go in peace to continue anti-vandalism. Excellent editing, Laleena 00:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC) |
Would you be willing to deal with a copyright issue? It has already been explained to the editor in question, as have the obvious WP:COI issues, but the editor seems unwilling to respect Wikipedia policy and guidelines, and has repeated the violation on their userpage: User:Eriko E. Gale has placed verbatim liner notes from her father's CD, with no evidence of permission: States at the bottom of the page: "(As appeared on the inside sleeve (a.k.a C.D. liner) of Eric Gale's album "Ginseng Woman & Multiplication", courtesy of Columbia Jazz Contemporary Masters, re-released in 1991 (released originally in 1977 by Sony Music)" I think perhaps a word from an administrator may assist this user in understanding that the editors she's been in contact with are indeed, citing proper policy and guideline, and especially with regards to copyright, these things are taken quite seriously. Ariel ♥ Gold 01:39, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
You've been so helpful giving me pointers... so I'm back for more guidance! I'm trying to get more involved in the community, and have have listed a few copyvio's for deletion. One I listed was Image:Lanalang.jpg. Limetolime was the uploader, who then went and removed the deletion tag from the page as well as removing my comments from the image deletion discussion. Going to his talk page, I noticed he has been under quite a bit of scrutiny for copyvio's. Only thing is, he seems to consistently go and improperly delete the deletion tags off the pages... (examples, Image:S1dvd.jpg, Image:Gemanscreenshot.jpg, and Image:Superman gift.jpg). In the specific instance of Annette O'Toole's image, I went ahead and left a note for him on his talk page to please not delete the tags in the future. However, what's the correct way to pursue the issue with him repeatedly removing deletion tags off contested images? Macboots 02:34, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Malcjennings seems to have made 233 edits over the past few hours. I would revert them manually, but it is quite laborious to do so myself. Would you (or anyone else reading this with tools/popups or other such aids) be able to revert this user, whose edits appear to be nothing more than adding links to a site en masse, or, in a small number of cases, modifying existing links to that same site? Sorry if requesting such edits isn't permitted. -- Dreaded Walrus t c 21:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi. :) I just wanted to point out to you that the above article actually did have a reference when you placed your "unreferenced" tag on it here. The reference is in the infobox and can be traced by following the "link". When I first started working on albums, I was confused by this as well, but this is the standard placement as developed by consensus at Wikipedia:WikiProject Albums. I also wanted to note that the article had the "inuse" tag at the top of it at the time you edited. Of course, it is only a request that other editors not edit the article while the tag is in place, in order to avoid edit conflicts, and you were well within your rights to ignore the request, but it is a nice gesture to hold off while the article is under active construction to see how it develops. You may already be well familiar with that template, but since you're on new page patrol I thought I would point it out to you in case you were not. :) -- Moonriddengirl 22:23, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

so.....conclusion on NYCmetroProject: all i have to do is produce an article of non-trivial descent, and have someone else post the article to maintain neutrality???
if such articles do not exist on the project as of yet.....as "substitutes".....is there any way i can use the multitude of consent forms signed by subway riders participating in the project already, and articles summarizing other experiential websites ("genre-ing" the same subject matter - NYC Subways)???
i read credible sources include the following:
1. idea or project (New York City Subway photo-documentary) 2. project creator info (Quagmeyer Productions, Inc.) 3. a site to substantiate the idea exists (www.nycmetroproject.com)
please advise.

Howdy hi. If (and only if) you have a second, could you take a look at this [3]? It's a sock puppetry case I filed a couple days ago. Fairly long-term hoaxing (over a year now, I believe) has been going on from various and sundry accounts and IP's (Youtubians with little imagination, or so Google tells me). It may be meatpuppetry too. What I'm buggin' you about, though, is whether there's something else that I could do. I know there's various BADWORDS bots out there. "Rosster" would be a great word to be reverted on sight. But I'm not sure where to go with it. RFCU seems rather pointless. Long-term abuse probably won't get any kind of lasting effect. The sockpuppetry filing seems kinda pointless. I made it because an admin told me that it would be quicker than my reports to AIV had been but...you know, I still say AIV's quicker. Anyway. Any advice? Into The Fray T/ C 23:38, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

No worries - I've wikilinked to the Hebrew article, so people can copy across stuff from there - I only had time to do his DOB and name earlier, but I'll have a look at doing more stuff later. I was surprised to see him up for speedy deletion yesterday when I was trawling through Category:Candidates for speedy deletion last night, so I'm glad you restored it. Hebrew is an interesting but terrible language to learn; imagine not having the verb "to have" (instead you have to say "there is to me") or present tense of "to be", and it just gets worse from there... :) пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 12:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

thanks for your honest reply about the adoption thing. I'll keep looking, but there aren't many -- if any people mentioning technical anything on the adoption page. Sigh!
Anyway, I had a question: When you are citing media, in the sense of "I am interested in this and want to try and find it later," then how do you cite it? Do you underline the title? Italicize it? Bold it? All three? Should tha author be first or last? I'm not creating full footnote pages, but would like to cite things in the correct wiki way.

After reading about you I would be delighted to be “adopted”. Any constructive criticism on content and other observations would be welcomed. Please excuse that I am truly a newbie.

Hello Moonriddengirl,
Thank you for adopting me! It is so nice to have a mentor on Wikipedia.
I would like to add simple technical drawings to my article. I have them in a book. I know that if I scan and post them that they will be removed immediately. However, since they’re so simple, I would like to redraw them myself and then post them. Is this okay to do? I do not intend on changing anything in the drawing. I would really like to add visual aids because I think they would be very helpful in the explanation of seam types.
I saw that you added my article to the “see also” section of the Textile Manufacturing article. It was really exciting to see my contributions as a link on someone else’s article. Thank you for your help and positive reinforcement!

This may help give some background. Also, you might want to review the methods of "warnings" this editor gives, they are not really what I'd call being in-line with WP:AGF or with the guidelines for recent changes patrollers, warning levels and templates, and the overall method of dealing with unconstructive edits. I think the editor has good intentions as far as wishing to deal with vandalism, but I'm quite concerned that the basics have been ignored, past the point of IAR, and this "project" is unnecessary, and not a good idea.

You've put a copyright disclaimer on the sandbox-restore of Chitauri that you created for me earlier on. I was under the impression that this page was deleted on notability and verifiability grounds and that there was no copyright issue. I was also under the impression that users who contributed to Wikipedia did so on the understanding that anything that they put on of their own making automatically became more or less public property under GFDL. Is this no longer the case? If so, shouldn't the GFDL notice under the editing box be removed?

Please note: this message is being sent out to all involved parties. Dear Friend, the Wikipedia Users’ Alliance has been deleted. I am sure that perhaps you already knew this. I myself just found out. Anyhow during the debate many mean and rude things where said. I am not innocent myself; I too contributed to the unpleasantness. But now Wikipedia Users’ Alliance is dead, gone forever. But we all must move on, for me and my friends, we have to deal with this loss. However it is important that all of us work together to fight vandalism and not argue with one another. There are many things that I want to say, but I know that they would only add to the mean sprit that fills the “air”. As a Buddhist ( Risshō Kōsei Kai) I was reading the Holy Dhammapada yesterday. I came across this line, “Holding onto anger is like holding on to a hot coal with the intent to throw it at someone, in the end you are the one who gets burned,” how true! Lets us progress forward.

Hi again Moon, I noticed that the article still has flags at the top after 5 days, it says not to remove them, and I don't want to violate any rules, I was just wondering if they needed to remain, or if there were administrators that will remove them at some point.
Take care

Hey Miss Moon, Your page looks nicer since I was here. I wanted to ask, cuz it looks like someone deleted the Konee Rok article, what happens now? Should I try to recreate it or is it possible to reverse the decision? I know we passed the 5 day point and had people debating the delete, and was slowly improving from peoples contributions. Now its just gone... Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cityvscity ( talk • contribs) 10:37, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Hey there; thanks for pointing me to the results of that case; I had lost track of it all with all the labyrinthine webs of commentary that user had generated! And thanks for pointing me in the right direction for filing it. Once you take a cursory look at that user's history, the evidence of extensive transgressions was pretty glaring. If anything, its a bit surprising it went on that long, given all the alarm signals. Cheers, Boodlesthecat ( talk) 17:20, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I think our discussion got archived. I'm working on a list of which templates transclude which. I suggest that around now we put a message at WT:CSD that in a few days we'll implement all the changes that didn't receive any comments or for which there's consensus. (That's almost all, I think.) I can continue whatever I'm doing with db-bio and this list etc. meanwhile. By the way, see Wikipedia:Bots/Requests for approval/ClueBot V, about a bot doing speedy-tagging, and where happy-melon and I [ [5]] on that page the creation of a "slow speedy": apparently it's not that hard, it's already done for db-t3. -- Coppertwig ( talk) 02:38, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello Moon. Thanks for your helpful note on my stumbling attempts to write my first Wikipedia entry. As soon as I realised that I had done something against the rules, I tried to delete everything, including the notices, which just made things worse! And then someone else kept "reverting" my deletions and told me I was doing something destructive (which was not the case since I was only trying to get rid of the copyrighted material). Eventually I went to bed and hoped for the best. When I try again, I'll read the rules a little more thoroughly, play in the sandbox until I'm sure I've got it right. Thanks again.

The problem is that the Job queue is severely backlogged, so the page is still showing up in the category. When you remove a category from a template, the page transcluding that template will still show up in the category until the job queue catches up and removes it. There are several other categories on the working page that have been correctly emptied, just waiting for the same thing. If you look at the bottom of the page and you don't see the category, then it will disappear when the job queue catches up. So you are free to remove Category:Wikipedians interested in books from the working list, good work! VegaDark ( talk) 18:38, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi Moon,
Regarding the speedy deletion, an NPR piece on my latest commissioned work, ItSpace will be heard on NPR's Day to Day some time in the next week or two. The radio piece has been completed and picked up by the show, it is just a matter of scheduling as to when they will fit it in (it is a news show and the major news stories come first). Once the piece is broadcast, I will meet the basic criteria (if I don't already) for musician entries "Notability is met if the musician has been the subject of a broadcast by a media network". Several of my pieces have also been exhibited in notable new media and network art exhibits, but there doesn't seem to be a criteria that includes those within the WP:MUSIC guidelines.

Thanks a lot for your helpful reply. A question I have now is this: If I rewrite the article (or write any other article for that matter), is there a way I can get it approved, so to speak, before actually posting it as an article, to ensure that the article is acceptable before posting and won't get deleted? If so, and if I could get feedback if my article isn't up to standard, then I could make a quality article, rather than simply having the article deleted like what happened to me, which really wasn't productive for anyone. I appreciate any information you have, and if you wouldn't mind posting your reply on my talk page again, that would be great. Thanks. Ununtrium ( talk) 04:49, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
Wikipedia has a problem with the article about the message board system called Yuku. I believe the disruptions have been going back and forth for several years. Could you please have a look at the end of the part called objectivity? Seems like a couple of the editors are mostly interested in a negative angle because of their own personal negative experience. I don't believe this kind of editing is in harmony with the pillars of the Wikipedia.

The guy posted the link to his own private blog. The blog is a diary of his private vendetta with this online service. He had probably removed the link when you looked. If you have seen the blog, you would probably see it is not in good faith. I understand your point though and I had already read the part about good faith.
I also thought wiki was based on editors working for consensus. He is constantly removing anything anybody is writing that may be positive. He has chased away all the other editors. It is just amazing. It makes people stop believing in Wikipedia. It is sad. He is using the Wikipedia for his private battleground. Could you please keep an eye on us?

OK so I post a complaint at ANI about the incessant anti-Semitic rants by an editor all over an article Talk Page, and I get told by some supposed admin to "shut the hell up?"

Fine I'm used to abuse here, but noone will address the substantive issue.

Hello, Excirial. Thanks for keeping an eye out on article quality. I'm dropping you a note to let you know that I have removed the speedy deletion template that you placed on Prasadz Multiplex because the article does not seem to fit the speedy deletion criterion.

Hi Moonriddengirl
Thank you very much for your comments in the Deletion Review on Avanti Construction.
After five days in the deletion review and having read the above comments, what is then the final decision on this entry? Can I restore the content as it is written above? If any changes are needed, could any of the administrators kindly suggest them?
Sincere thanks.

Hi. You commented on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Syrym that the article should be redirected if independent sourcing couldn't be found. Since that AfD, there still aren't any references establishing notability. Should be redirected to its parent article, Babylon A.D., now? Funeral 17:53, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
Hi. :) Working on the backlog at AfD, I noticed that the bots weren't properly cataloging this one as closed. I think on investigation that it may be because you put the closure template below the header, here. The template needs to go above the header, and I think now I know why. :) I've reformatted this one, and the bot seems to be handling it correctly now. I realize this could have been a one-off accident, but in case it was something you didn't know, I wanted to point it out to you. :) -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 19:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello Moonriddengirl, and thanks for clarification. I'm only recently starting to help patrolling Wikipedia, So I still get the policies wrong from time to time. In this specifically case I thought about reporting only after the second IP vandalized in the same (close enough) way the same article. And I realized it could be someone hopping on computers inside an university. It is in my watch list and I will escalate the warnings as it goes, if it happens.
Now a question, if another IP from the same domain do the same vandalizing on that article, can I issue a level 2 or 3 warning, or do I have to issue a level 1?. Thanks Samuel Sol ( talk) 20:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Hey there--I had hoped to spare you further drama until at least the springtime, but was not to be. Is there any way to eviscerate from my Wikipedia life the incessant, skin-crawlingly creepy stalking of Calton? He has, you may recall, been harassing me ever since I had the nerve to challenge his buddy Griot, the now departed mega sock puppeteer. Calton has filed false sock puppet cases against me and generally stalked my movement since. I filed a Wikiquette notice regarding his gratuitous personal attacks here, but apparently no one cares. No one as well seems to care about his using his cranky user page as a forum to attack and demean a real life person (a BLP issue I tried to address).
He put yet another a harassing message on my talk page here, which I deleted. He followed with a repeat, and additional vituperative bile here.
Filing Wikiquette complaints against this creepy, creepy editor, and his sleazy behavior, seem to be ignored. What to do?

I would appreciate it if you would not delete my Warren :) page again. As far as I can see there could be no harm from having the page up, and no legitimate reason to have it removed. The act of removing the page is borderline unconstitutional, as it is a real part of our culture here, and should be respected as such. I can't imagine you removed pages concerning aliens, bigfoot, or Jesus, so it would be well appreciated if you would not remove Warren :).

Hello. I see that you salted David Motari. Since you did so, an article has been created at Motari David about the same subject. Unfortunately, I could not find any basis on which to speedy it (it's clearly not an A7, in my view, and I think the reasonably thorough sourcing prevents it from being a G10), so I've taken it to AfD, where I doubt it will survive. Anyway, I just wanted to let you know about it, and also let you know that if you do perceive a valid speedy rationale (your protection of the original location suggests to me that you don't think a valid article could possibly be created on the subject), I wouldn't object to your speedying it.

You were really helpful when I started a page on the novel Runemarks. I started again and thought I did a lot better, but was startled to find that another editor RHaworth had deleted large chunks of text and left an {{ Advert}} tag and an impolite message. I think it's called biting in Wikipedia talk. And now I find that someone else has just blanked the page completely (even though I had a "underconstruction" sign up. I've restored the page for the moment but need advice. Obviously I need to edit the text to work within the novel project guidelines. But I thought the guidelines for editing behaviour suggest that editors who think text needs revising should say so on the talk page first. I also read somewhere that there are guidelines about not biting newbies (which neither of the editors who have attacked the Runemarks page seems to be paying any attention to). Runemarks, as a novel, fulfills the notability criteria for both the author and the number of copies sold. I started the page because it interested me and I wanted to try my hand at Wikipedia, and I've told a few people who've also read the book about it and suggested that they might like to contribute. They can't do that if it keeps getting deleted. Advice, please. I feel well and truly bitten.-- Plad2 ( talk) 18:38, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

...nowhere in the arguments for deletion was the claim that notability was inherited - that was a strawman that those pushing deletion came up with. Those urging for keeping the article came up with direct quotes for both creation and reception. All of the reasons that led to the article's deletion were strawmen, and I provided direct examples as to why they were untrue (while those pushing deletion just kept saying that it violated GUIDE, without ever giving an example). Could you please tell me where to find information on getting a deletion re-looked at? I also asked for some time to be allowed to address the problems, as we were given no prior notice, and it was the middle of exam week.
As also explained in the AfD, the article is completely redundant on the DMC wiki - we already have all that information, and more. As such, I am deleting it on the DMC wiki, as it is completely redundant and useless there. Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 18:31, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
I'm sorry but where was any consesus reached and any real reason raised for the deletion of the article that you just went ahead and deleted it? We raised multiple examples and reasons for it to be allowed more time to evolve and improve and we're just ignored? What the hell? Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 20:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
Since you've read the comments then perhaps you can understand my comments where I linked to at least 3 separate articles that feature similarly to this one and yet remain unchanged nearly a year later while this one was put up for AfD after only a month during which time only two editors worked on it. We were never given a chance to bring it up but as it was it was still a fair article and as notable as anything like list of enemies in mario bros. I'm not trying to come off as agressive with you but it is frustrating that our arguements were ignored completely to arguements which did not prove lack of notability or lack of worthiness to exist on Wikipedia or simply those that said "Burn it in fire, its a game guide, die article die". Loosely translated. It was never a game guide and myself and Kryten never intended it to be anything of the sort. Its a brief article. Hell, theres a seperate list now JUST for Resident Evil 4 enemies. I feel that this article has been targeted and treated unfairly and given the stable and rational arguements given for saving it and giving it a chance to improve to some apparently high standards, its deletion was not warranted. Hell, Caribbean moved it from merge to AfD in like 2 days as if he had some personal grudge against it.
As for earlier comments, I didn't know you'd moved the data, for that I thank you as some of it was definetly worthy of saving despite what others think. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 20:33, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
If you could give me the data, that would be great, I can see no way to obtain it from the deleted article. As for the article, I don't take it personally but am still agrieved. While I know that pointing out other articles of the same status is not a valid arguement it is still ridiculous to so agressively target this particular one, declaring it all unnotable and not even trying to salvage the notable ones. As stated, the other articles are similar if not exactly the same and RE is no more notable than Devil May Cry, not in a quantifiable way anyway so, as you said, when people attack the work almost with venom and seemingly without having actually read it (Again pointing out the "game guide" comments), it is frustrating that they still succeeded in robbing us of the chance to develop the article.
Anyway, thanks for being amiable about the situation, its CaribbeanHQ thats caused my issues not you so I apologise if I seemed agressive at all. Bye. Darkwarriorblake ( talk) 22:10, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
