Hi. Can you protect Armando Llorens also, for completeness? Thanks. – Dicty ( T/ C) 13:55, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
Well reasoned closure, thank you. On a little historical note, the "hot air" wasn't a backlash against ALS's own involvement (which came very late in the game), it was the result of a "wow moment" during the 1st nomination after the two outside sources were introduced and the mood swung from (Speedy) Delete to Keep, both, as has been amply discussed, with their own problems. In any case, it is good to see closing administrators taking the weight of the arguments into account. ~ trialsanderrors 17:32, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Hi, please could I have access to the wikipedia code for the page which has been deleted. I think that the removal of the page was not a good idea, EMC is poorly treated where on wikipedia and AM UHF TV is the most common and best example of how a EMC problem due to high field strengths is investigated and solved. I will attempt to recycle the content into a few other places.
While the article could be viewed by some as a how to guide, it is firstly an explanation of how this type of EMC problem occurs and is resolved. If you read the articles on gold-fish you would gain plenty of information which would assist you in setting up a tank (and keeping the fish alive), so should the pages on gold fish which explain how the nitrogen chemistry in the tank works be removed ? (I think not). Cadmium
I don't think Cyde's block was very fair, as I checked the disruption clause and it actaully states that users will usually be warned before being blocked, so why wasn't I, given that I am an established user. Myrtone -- 05:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Let me take this opportunity to express my thanks for all the help you are giving me, both in revertions and in blockings.

Hi Sam. I need your help and some understanding here for a moment. Busansky is NOT a LESSER candidate in FL9. She is the LONE Democrat. No primary. No nothing. She's it. The FL9 race is being watched nationwide. She is one of only 20 or so DCCC "Red to Blue" candidates. Additionally, her opponent's Wiki page is still up and running. His name is Gus Bilirakis and he IS in a primary right now. I am requesting you reconsider and allow the page to return, preferably with limited protection against vandalism. The article was heavily revised to conform to NPOV guidelines. If you won't, then I would request that you at least take down her opponent's page in the interest of fairness because his page would also be a candidate for deletion under the same guidelines. Please reply when you can. User: JohnTampa
Per the closing comments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Buell Anderson, could you clarify "reasonable period of time" so that in itself it doesn't also become an argument? Thanks. Ste4k 00:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Please see the following uncivilized outbursts from your wikipedia editors (bold letters) :
(removed text which screws up my talk page, poster is banned anyway)
BTW what is my mistake when I quoted from wikipedia such as :
Ashvamedha 4. The Priest says the following (mantra): (7.4.19f) "May the horse expel its sperm and may the Queen receive (the sperm)." 5. The Priest recites: (7.4.19g) "O horse, place your male organ in between the legs of the queen. Excite the queen's vagina so that it will receive your huge penis". The Queen then places the horse's limp penis in between her legs.
And for this truth I am victimized for slandering. Is this spam or slander. Now I demand action against these people ( BabuB & Aupmanyav ) for personally humiliating me by calling me a dog. I am a low caste hindu (shudra) who is protected by law in India. If any upper caste Indian insults me he will be immediately in jail through non-bailable warrants without consideration & will invite prison term. Please ban their work.Stop them. If you cannot do anything then give me their addresses & other particulars so that I can reach authorities.
I dont want to vandalize any article but whenever I contribute I am warned as a vandal & I am told to discuss on talk page. If i write on talk page u ppl call me a spammer. What is this? I think u should lock all pages of wikipedia.
I have not insulted anyone personally nor do I intend to. But we low caste people are not illiterate nowadays like we used to do earlier in the rule of upper caste hindus. And why wikipedia is not putting words of Ambedkar from [2]. This is beyond my comprehension. Ambedkar was a great scholar, studied in America & England & after reading hindu manuscripts he wrote many books on Hinduism. He is revered by more than 250 million Indians (many ppl even make his statue & worship him like a god) . He wrote constitution of India. His credibility cannot be questioned on subjects of Hinduism. Only minority upper caste hindus (especially Brahmins like BabuB) oppose Ambedkar. My only grouse is that his words are being ignored. Please put Ambedkars opinions on hindu related articles.
Besides that if you really want to protect wikipedia then u identify editors then do not let anyone else edit it. If u keep the editing open to public then be ready to invite edits from anyone.
Now see what BabuB says on his user page (removed text which screws up my talk page, poster is banned anyway)
This means that he is calling himself belonging to a superior race (Brahmin). If anybody speaks like that in india it is similar to a german calling himself a nazi or a european calling – I am White. And when a person has declared himself to be a racist you ppl in wikipedia are protecting him and made him an editor . this is ridiculous. We low caste people represent more than 250 million whereas Brahmins like BabuB are only 4% of population( i.e. in minority). Through centuries they (Brahmins) monopolized education, literature & religion. Using this monopoly they wrote inhuman laws like manusmriti to create Apartheid. Brahmins views are not views of common hindu. Stop them or else many common hindus like me will be against wikipedia. & wikipedia will be sued. If u cant do anything plz tell me where I can report these matters to top mgmt. of wikipedia. BTW ENRON was sued in India. -- Anirudh777 10:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I certainly don't do that sort of thing regularly, and I have no intention of doing so in the future. Aside from closing the AfD early (which I will admit was a mistake), I locked the article because Crossmr had reverted my changes... which was presumably because I did all the changes in a single including the removal of the AfD tag. I regret that Crossmr was upset, and would be more than willing to apologize if he wishes. DS 22:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Kind of amazed to see the Klashnekoff article deleted... As a hip hop fan living in London I find he's everywhere - on every mix tape, headlining on tours such as the BBC UK Takeover events recently, and on cable TV doing his videos - so it seems bizarre to me to see him considered NN. Kyza and his Terra Firma crew, fine - they don't have solo albums - but Klash has two. I bought them both in HMV, so they're hardly obscure or hard to obtain.
Please could you let me know the grounds on which this decision was made? I admit the original article made it sound rather like crystal-ballery but I was planning to rewrite it... alas, it's out of order for me to remake a deleted article, yes? Efortune 14:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey it's no problem. I saw he had been blocked for 31 before and, while tempted to make it longer, erred on the side of caution and gave him only 48 hours. I have no problem with you going ahead and extending the block, don't worry about it. Glad to see he got the ban. And besides, I got the pleasant surprise of seeing the extra blocking options when I blocked him. Regards -- Bane s 18:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
It looks like we both just tried to reblock Lou's IP address. I had already rolled back his edits when I went to reblock; I'm not sure if I should have rolled back and taken the troll bait on all three accounts ( User:Lou franklin, User:Hernando Cortez, and the IP, User:66.30.208.149) but I'd say that the countdown definitely had to go.

Thanks/ wangi 15:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I'll try to remember to avoid that. In general I find that the signature refactoring is so beneficial to editability that I do it as a matter of course. One thing some editors do is open a doppelganger account (in your case I guess it would be User:Sam Blanning) and then redirect that to their original. This would mean you wouldn't have to fiddle around with pipes in your signature. -- Tony Sidaway 15:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey, could you please take a look at this edit and give me a little advice on how to proceed? It seems completely out of line to me, this guy deleted several paragraphs of the talk page, and pasted a new topic I had placed as such for very good reason back deep into another discussion where it didn't belong (not restoring much of what he cut, by other people, at all) with an edit summary "Stop making new sections." I believe I'm allowed to make new sections on a talk page when appropriate, no? This person reverted the citation request my edit there concerned previously, with no comment, and presumably thinks that hiding my text deep inside a different topic will effectively squelch it. Anyway, it's part of a larger very messy problem I wouldn't ask you to get involved in, but this edit in particular seems quite over the line. I'm a little at a loss what to do about it, though. Another poster tried to restore it, but Plijyqseft made a large number of edits immediately after, and drew some other parties into an argument, so it's very messy to restore after that many edits. It doesn't seem like an editor should be allowed to make an edit like that in the first place. Any advice would be appreciated. Arker 04:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

A special thanks to you Sam for nominating me for adminship. I wasn't too suprised when my RfA didn't pass. I am also far from disappointed. It seems that most oppose votes were because of my low edit count - of those many indicating support if I were to try again in a few months.

I think you forgot to delete this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tango.info (2nd nomination) after closing the afd. -- Ragib 19:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the reasonable closing there. I feel that some editors need to realize that article improvement has phases; interrupting a phase by listing it on AfD during a vunerable point in the process is like firing a retail associate because he/she had to put the rugs on the ground to organize them before placing them back on the shelves. Deleting the article lists based on a poorly worded (and therefore subjective and misinterpreted) WP:NOT policy not only causes the cruft to spill out once again, but it also deters future pushes to actually turn it into a general article describing the organizations of Star Wars. We need to make ammendments to WP:NOT to conform to those states in WP:FICT AND make a better "What AfD is not" page. Agreed? :-) — Deckill e r 15:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
hi there Sam. Due to the fact that nobody notified of the commentary at WP:ANI on my deletion of this article, I managed to miss the post as the headline didn't mention me specifically - I was unable to respond to the claims of the user before it went dead. There is a long response I posted to the user in question on my own page - but in short, the claim to notability that was present in his autobio was that he was a PhD student. AFAIK, I have seen random PhD students speedily deleted before and so, I wrote that comment in the deletion summary to make clearer the a7 reasoning. As for his claims that I had many angry messages about my deletions, well that is true, but they were about expired prods and a repost of Kai Wong, so I had to reiterate that I have not being roguely deleting stuff, just in case me might have misled anyone. Thankyou, Blnguyen | rant-line 03:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Can you please source exactly what part of the vanity policy this article infringes, as I can't see what it violates. Thanks.
Mr. Blanning, Thank you for supplying the page as requested for deletion review. Sorry to make you do that when he already had the page up at his user space, I did not see that. I am done looking at the page if you would like to delete it now. I was not sure if I was permitted to delete it from my userspace or not as I am a new editor and am trying to be mindful of messing something up too badly! I figured perhaps it would be wise to check with you first. Thanks again! Nisanu 22:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

yes but if this whole catagory goes then it means that other minority intressts may also have the justifyablitiy to be removed because they are deemed 'pointless'.

You wrote a good point on the deletion review for The Rabbit Joint. Ultimately, you're probably right. At the risk of violating civility and/or (aren't they basically the same?) etiquette, I'll simply state I don't like your choice of words. Calling my actions a guise? That's not how I would've described my intention. I'm not part of any cabal. My only guise is the expansion of truth (even if my efforts are, at times, misdirected). In any case, this isn't some crusade of mine. If this little bit of trivia is too small for wikipedia, I'm not going to hold a grudge over it (there's plenty of other things to do).

I don't think Cyde's block was very fair, as I checked the disruption clause and it actaully states that users will usually be warned before being blocked, so why wasn't I, given that I am an established user. Myrtone -- 05:45, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
Let me take this opportunity to express my thanks for all the help you are giving me, both in revertions and in blockings. I particularly appreciate that today, you have reverted edits the Troll made under anon IP's, which must mean that you have all those pages on your watchlist. It's really kind of you to take the trouble. Best regards, ImpuMozhi 14:11, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: your AIV removal - Yes, but only for 31 h. The IP has the habit to wait and repeatedly return after several days, so I did request a longer block. Femto 14:43, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
We're butting heads here. I was trying to update and now I got an edit conflict because you are in the process of updating too. Please finish now you started (the page needs a refreshment and I've been out of the loop for a long while here), but next time, please wait and give me a chance to finish.

Hi Sam. I need your help and some understanding here for a moment. Busansky is NOT a LESSER candidate in FL9. She is the LONE Democrat. No primary. No nothing. She's it. The FL9 race is being watched nationwide. She is one of only 20 or so DCCC "Red to Blue" candidates. Additionally, her opponent's Wiki page is still up and running. His name is Gus Bilirakis and he IS in a primary right now. I am requesting you reconsider and allow the page to return, preferably with limited protection against vandalism. The article was heavily revised to conform to NPOV guidelines. If you won't, then I would request that you at least take down her opponent's page in the interest of fairness because his page would also be a candidate for deletion under the same guidelines. Please reply when you can. User: JohnTampa
Per the closing comments in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Charles Buell Anderson, could you clarify "reasonable period of time" so that in itself it doesn't also become an argument? Thanks. Ste4k 00:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Please see the following uncivilized outbursts from your wikipedia editors (bold letters) :
(removed text which screws up my talk page, poster is banned anyway)
BTW what is my mistake when I quoted from wikipedia such as :
Ashvamedha 4. The Priest says the following (mantra): (7.4.19f) "May the horse expel its sperm and may the Queen receive (the sperm)." 5. The Priest recites: (7.4.19g) "O horse, place your male organ in between the legs of the queen. Excite the queen's vagina so that it will receive your huge penis". The Queen then places the horse's limp penis in between her legs.
And for this truth I am victimized for slandering. Is this spam or slander. Now I demand action against these people ( BabuB & Aupmanyav ) for personally humiliating me by calling me a dog. I am a low caste hindu (shudra) who is protected by law in India. If any upper caste Indian insults me he will be immediately in jail through non-bailable warrants without consideration & will invite prison term. Please ban their work.Stop them. If you cannot do anything then give me their addresses & other particulars so that I can reach authorities.
I dont want to vandalize any article but whenever I contribute I am warned as a vandal & I am told to discuss on talk page. If i write on talk page u ppl call me a spammer. What is this? I think u should lock all pages of wikipedia.
I have not insulted anyone personally nor do I intend to. But we low caste people are not illiterate nowadays like we used to do earlier in the rule of upper caste hindus. And why wikipedia is not putting words of Ambedkar from [2]. This is beyond my comprehension. Ambedkar was a great scholar, studied in America & England & after reading hindu manuscripts he wrote many books on Hinduism. He is revered by more than 250 million Indians (many ppl even make his statue & worship him like a god) . He wrote constitution of India. His credibility cannot be questioned on subjects of Hinduism. Only minority upper caste hindus (especially Brahmins like BabuB) oppose Ambedkar. My only grouse is that his words are being ignored. Please put Ambedkars opinions on hindu related articles.
Besides that if you really want to protect wikipedia then u identify editors then do not let anyone else edit it. If u keep the editing open to public then be ready to invite edits from anyone.
Now see what BabuB says on his user page (removed text which screws up my talk page, poster is banned anyway)
This means that he is calling himself belonging to a superior race (Brahmin). If anybody speaks like that in india it is similar to a german calling himself a nazi or a european calling – I am White. And when a person has declared himself to be a racist you ppl in wikipedia are protecting him and made him an editor . this is ridiculous. We low caste people represent more than 250 million whereas Brahmins like BabuB are only 4% of population( i.e. in minority). Through centuries they (Brahmins) monopolized education, literature & religion. Using this monopoly they wrote inhuman laws like manusmriti to create Apartheid. Brahmins views are not views of common hindu. Stop them or else many common hindus like me will be against wikipedia. & wikipedia will be sued. If u cant do anything plz tell me where I can report these matters to top mgmt. of wikipedia. BTW ENRON was sued in India. -- Anirudh777 10:56, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

I certainly don't do that sort of thing regularly, and I have no intention of doing so in the future. Aside from closing the AfD early (which I will admit was a mistake), I locked the article because Crossmr had reverted my changes... which was presumably because I did all the changes in a single including the removal of the AfD tag. I regret that Crossmr was upset, and would be more than willing to apologize if he wishes. DS 22:43, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Kind of amazed to see the Klashnekoff article deleted... As a hip hop fan living in London I find he's everywhere - on every mix tape, headlining on tours such as the BBC UK Takeover events recently, and on cable TV doing his videos - so it seems bizarre to me to see him considered NN. Kyza and his Terra Firma crew, fine - they don't have solo albums - but Klash has two. I bought them both in HMV, so they're hardly obscure or hard to obtain.
Please could you let me know the grounds on which this decision was made? I admit the original article made it sound rather like crystal-ballery but I was planning to rewrite it... alas, it's out of order for me to remake a deleted article, yes? Efortune 14:22, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Hey it's no problem. I saw he had been blocked for 31 before and, while tempted to make it longer, erred on the side of caution and gave him only 48 hours. I have no problem with you going ahead and extending the block, don't worry about it. Glad to see he got the ban. And besides, I got the pleasant surprise of seeing the extra blocking options when I blocked him. Regards -- Bane s 18:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
It looks like we both just tried to reblock Lou's IP address. I had already rolled back his edits when I went to reblock; I'm not sure if I should have rolled back and taken the troll bait on all three accounts ( User:Lou franklin, User:Hernando Cortez, and the IP, User:66.30.208.149) but I'd say that the countdown definitely had to go.

Sam, I notice you blocked User:72.80.169.118 earlier today. I believe this IP user is in fact User:Tommy23 based on edit history and a curt (and threat) comment I got this morning as a result of reverting the IP users edits:
Thanks/ wangi 15:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
I'll try to remember to avoid that. In general I find that the signature refactoring is so beneficial to editability that I do it as a matter of course. One thing some editors do is open a doppelganger account (in your case I guess it would be User:Sam Blanning) and then redirect that to their original. This would mean you wouldn't have to fiddle around with pipes in your signature. -- Tony Sidaway 15:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Hey, could you please take a look at this edit and give me a little advice on how to proceed? It seems completely out of line to me, this guy deleted several paragraphs of the talk page, and pasted a new topic I had placed as such for very good reason back deep into another discussion where it didn't belong (not restoring much of what he cut, by other people, at all) with an edit summary "Stop making new sections." I believe I'm allowed to make new sections on a talk page when appropriate, no? This person reverted the citation request my edit there concerned previously, with no comment, and presumably thinks that hiding my text deep inside a different topic will effectively squelch it. Anyway, it's part of a larger very messy problem I wouldn't ask you to get involved in, but this edit in particular seems quite over the line. I'm a little at a loss what to do about it, though. Another poster tried to restore it, but Plijyqseft made a large number of edits immediately after, and drew some other parties into an argument, so it's very messy to restore after that many edits. It doesn't seem like an editor should be allowed to make an edit like that in the first place. Any advice would be appreciated. Arker 04:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

A special thanks to you Sam for nominating me for adminship. I wasn't too suprised when my RfA didn't pass. I am also far from disappointed. It seems that most oppose votes were because of my low edit count - of those many indicating support if I were to try again in a few months. In any case, I will keep doing what I've been doing, and also try some other admin focused areas, to help address some of the voters' concerns. Once again, thanks! Paul Cyr 21:49, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

I think you forgot to delete this Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tango.info (2nd nomination) after closing the afd. -- Ragib 19:04, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the reasonable closing there. I feel that some editors need to realize that article improvement has phases; interrupting a phase by listing it on AfD during a vunerable point in the process is like firing a retail associate because he/she had to put the rugs on the ground to organize them before placing them back on the shelves. Deleting the article lists based on a poorly worded (and therefore subjective and misinterpreted) WP:NOT policy not only causes the cruft to spill out once again, but it also deters future pushes to actually turn it into a general article describing the organizations of Star Wars. We need to make ammendments to WP:NOT to conform to those states in WP:FICT AND make a better "What AfD is not" page. Agreed? :-) — Deckill e r 15:48, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
hi there Sam. Due to the fact that nobody notified of the commentary at WP:ANI on my deletion of this article, I managed to miss the post as the headline didn't mention me specifically - I was unable to respond to the claims of the user before it went dead. There is a long response I posted to the user in question on my own page - but in short, the claim to notability that was present in his autobio was that he was a PhD student. AFAIK, I have seen random PhD students speedily deleted before and so, I wrote that comment in the deletion summary to make clearer the a7 reasoning. As for his claims that I had many angry messages about my deletions, well that is true, but they were about expired prods and a repost of Kai Wong, so I had to reiterate that I have not being roguely deleting stuff, just in case me might have misled anyone. Thankyou, Blnguyen | rant-line 03:26, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
Can you please source exactly what part of the vanity policy this article infringes, as I can't see what it violates. Thanks.
Mr. Blanning, Thank you for supplying the page as requested for deletion review. Sorry to make you do that when he already had the page up at his user space, I did not see that. I am done looking at the page if you would like to delete it now. I was not sure if I was permitted to delete it from my userspace or not as I am a new editor and am trying to be mindful of messing something up too badly! I figured perhaps it would be wise to check with you first. Thanks again! Nisanu 22:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

yes but if this whole catagory goes then it means that other minority intressts may also have the justifyablitiy to be removed because they are deemed 'pointless'. I also think there is a form of malice agint this catagory as some of the pages are huge and highly detailed and a lot of work has gone on to them. i think it is just vindicative and that the person who put them up for deletion has a vendetta against robor wars for some reason. --

The deletion of these pages would consevably lead to the justifyable deletion of charaters for t.v shows. this is because they are fictitious and only verifable by watching the t.v show so the deletion of these pages dose in fact set a dangerous prescident.by the way if robot wars is very popular then isn't it questionable that they are famous enough to be on wikipedia.-- Lucy-marie 18:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

You wrote a good point on the deletion review for The Rabbit Joint. Ultimately, you're probably right. At the risk of violating civility and/or (aren't they basically the same?) etiquette, I'll simply state I don't like your choice of words. Calling my actions a guise? That's not how I would've described my intention. I'm not part of any cabal. My only guise is the expansion of truth (even if my efforts are, at times, misdirected). In any case, this isn't some crusade of mine. If this little bit of trivia is too small for wikipedia, I'm not going to hold a grudge over it (there's plenty of other things to do).
