Thanks for the tip on how to use the {{ prod}} template. I'll be sure to do so next time I run across an article that fits its use. -- Impaciente 17:11, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
I was wondering why you taged {{unsourced}} to Ala archa even thou it has an exteranl link. I didn't actually read what it links to see if what is said all comes from that sight so im' not positive it is a sorce but i would asume it is.-- E-Bod 21:38, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
Sandstein/Archives/2006/April, thank you for your constructive opposition in my recent RfA. Although it did not succeed as no consensus was declared (final: 65/29/7), I know that there is always an opportunity to request adminship again. In the meantime, I will do my best to address your concerns in the hope that when the opportunity for adminship arises once again, you will reconsider your position. If at any time I make any mistakes or if you would like to comment on my contributions to Wikipedia, you are more than welcome to do so. Regardless of your religious, cultural, and personal beliefs, I pray that whatever and whoever motivates you in life continues to guide you on the most righteous path. |

Hello,
If you would, could you please {{wikify-date|April 2006}} tag instead of the {{wikify}} tag? There is an effort underway to make it easier to sort through articles that may require wikification.
Your assistance with this effort will be greatly appreciated. Folajimi 07:13, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello there. You have proposed the article AE Magazine for deletion without providing a reason why you think the article should be deleted. Please consider adding your reasoning in the future when proposing articles for deletion (see: How to propose deletion of an article). This will aid other users in considering your suggestion on the Proposed Deletions log. Thank you. Sandstein 15:11, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support vote on my RFA. The final result was a successful request based on 111 support and 1 oppose. -- CBDunkerson 15:04, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello,
Thank you for contacting me regarding the Bryan Schmidt entry. Although I had initially tagged the entry with {{prod}}<nowiki>, an anonymous user removed it. My guess is that the entry may very well be a vanity article. At any rate, what I eventually did was include an <nowiki>{{importance}} tag — to avoid an edit war. Could you please review the entry and see if it qualifies as a legitimate entry in Wikipedia? Your feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers, Folajimi 17:53, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you the information. Wasn't sure I could edit the template. Glad to know now that I can. I have got more experience with AfD. Thanks again for the information.-- Dakota ~ ° 18:16, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello Sandstein: Thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 77/3/0. I hope I can perform at the standards expected for administrators. If I make any mistakes, or you need anything, please let me know. Prodego talk 01:45, 4 April 2006 (UTC) |
Hello there and welcome to Wikipedia! Please refrain from posting your own research/opinions/philosophy to Wikipedia. This is not allowed. Please remember that all contributions must be verifiable and cite reliable sources, or they can be deleted. Cheers, H0riz0n 01:54, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
I thought you might like to look over what I have said at User:Donlee's talk page in reference to his additions to Wikipedia considering your question that as far as I can see has gone unanswered. Dismas| (talk) 04:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Hallo- I noticed that you posted a 'Delete' vote on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soggy biscuit (2). I have recently posted some new material that I feel satisfies the requirement for WP:N and WP:V- hopefully you may feel the same. In any event, best wishes and apologies for the intrusion. Badgerpatrol 20:34, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. I actually came across the articles that I put the tag on while I was patrolling and performing speedy deletions. I had my doubts whether they qualified for a speedy, so I put the proposed deletion tag on them as a less drastic alternative. Personally, I have no strong feeling regarding them either way. Elf-friend 06:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC) (Whose ancestor actually came frome the Bernese Oberland.)
Hello, Sandstein! Thank you for your support in my recent successful request for adminship. (I really wasn't an admin before today!) If you ever have problems that you could use my assistance with or see me doing stupid things with my new buttons, don't hesitate to contact me. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 20:13, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes I know {{ prod}} can have a param, forgot to add one to '88 Games A dmrb♉ltz ( T | C | k) 21:28, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks, I forgot to add a parameter, and assumed the other templates listed gave enough reason. Oh, and could you use the User discussion pages (User talk:) to post messages to a user, and not the user page itself (User:)? That is what the discussion pages are for. Thanks again, Sir Isaac Lime 21:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Hello there. You have proposed the article Harefield, Southampton for deletion without providing a reason why in the {{ prod}} template. You may be interested to know that you can add your reasoning like that: {{prod|Add reason for deletion here}}. This will make your reasoning show up in the article's deletion notice. It will also aid other users in considering your suggestion on the Proposed Deletions log. See also: How to propose deletion of an article. Sandstein 17:09, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
The tag was not related to the A380. It was related to the BAe sale. — Joseph/N328KF (Talk) 19:56, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi! Thanks for the heads up! I hadn't been very active in Wikipedia for the last year and when I used the old VfD the prod procedure didn't even exist :) I'll tag the articles including a reason from now on. Sarg 16:27, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!
SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.
If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.
P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 02:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for "Welcoming" me to Wikipedia, but, as far as the two articles I started, Its a work in progress like all of Wikipedia's work. I would like it fif you would stop trying to delete my work and give me to the end of the weekend to finishg these articles. In talking about Minority Partnership programs especially when so many programs don't have thenm, I say since you happen to like to be a fan of my "work" that you wait until the aritcle is finished sometime today before making any more comments on it. Please and thank you! Awhitfie
if you want to nominate them for deletion, you are more than welcomed. Obviously you are not from the Dallas Fort Worth Area, so how you figure they are not notible ise the opinion of somebody who is in Europe compared to somebody who lives in America. Not all business in America are known to companies in Europ. Take for example The Irvine Company They are both the same company with same causes but that article isn't up for deletion. Maybe you should think about that before you nominate aritcles from deletion thereby discouraging people from editing or contributing to Wikipedia Awhitfie
Thanks, I did some reasearch and have some newspaper sources and I'll add them on

You have the patience of a saint! I noticed that one of the sockpuppets in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aibotteam, User:64.9.205.95, was also involved in the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Astroseries puppetfest. Given that Astroseries was subsequently recreated, do you think it meets the criteria for speedy deletion? - AED 22:02, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I've created a new user name for the reason I state on my user page. While thinking about what to use, I saw your name on AfD and it reminded me of Sandestins, magical creatures from some of Jack Vance's books. I hope you do not think I would try to impersonate you or that the name would be a source of confusion. If you object, I will change it. Sandestin 00:42, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Thank you for your support and encouragement in the {{ db-web}} TFD debate, when you wrote: "Keep, but ideally adjust to incorporate the consensually accepted CSD A7 wording." There was some resistence to creating a template that didn't exactly match the policy description, but I have discovered that the policy description does not fully reflect the policy proposals that have been approved. I have begun a discussion here. GeorgeStepanek\ talk 09:34, 20 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. You recently converted the citations on J. K. Rowling using cite.php. I'd like to point out a discussion to you that I started here, where I would offer that the consensus of the discussion was that there are a group of editors (myself included) that strongly oppose using the cite.php system in certain articles, and that it would be better for now to not convert articles from {{ ref}} to cite.php without discussion, and that some articles should go ahead and stay formatted with {tl|ref}} for now. I'd like to ask you to not convert any more articles to cite.php without verifying that A. No one has done something similar recently in the page history (as has happened several times on J. K. Rowling and B. Leaving a note on the Talk page prior to making such conversion. Thanks, and best regards, Ëvilphoenix Burn! 18:34, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. I notice that you asked (several weeks ago) Tabdulla whether his insect articles (specifically Eonycteris) were from copyrighted sources. I would like to ask if you ever received any sort of response? Some of his recent contributions seem rather suspicious to me. He has not responed to a copyright warning I put on his talk page. I'm just trying to figure out what is going on. — Veyklevar 00:31, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
I think the five generations of computing pages just needs editing and its fine allot of education instatutions have this as a assesment ite
Unreflective use of refconverter is causing many problems, and in many cases actively harming Wikipedia. The tool is nice to have—in fact, it's the impetus for me creating my own " Citation Tool" (still alpha). But it is nice to have to aid editors who are actually involved in editing a specific article, and who have reached consensus about making a given type of change to an existing article. Unfortunately, the semi-bot is largely being used to make "drive by 'improvements'" to articles where editors either have not considered the citation style, or where they have actively decided on something different from what the tool produces. This is extremely disrespectful to other Wikipedia editors, and a gross violation of process.
I have not looked at your specific changes made using the semi-bot, but I strongly recommend that you follow a guideline along the lines of: "Use this tool only after consensus for a change has been reached on the talk page of the article to which it is applied!"
You may also want to take a look at User:Evilphoenix/ref conversion. This is a sketch of an RfC that may be filed to try to resolve this problem (I see no reason you might not opine there, even while it lives in userspace). Ideally, Cyde will back off his insistence on changing all articles, even where against editor consensus. But unfortunately, his attitude has only become more belligerent when I have repeated requests in this regard. I think a positive involvment of well-meaning users of the semi-bot might help matters resolve amicably. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 02:34, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
You are receiving this message because you are on the Ref converter spamlist.
Hello there, I'd just like to make you aware that Lulu has filed an RfC against me and "other users of Ref converter". Since Lulu has previously contacted you regarding Ref converter I think it is safe to assume that you are one of the people named in the "other users of Ref converter" bit, so you may want to get involved. Just a heads-up, Cyde Weys 18:23, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi. Thanks for pointing out that the extra edit buttons were not working. I have updated the script and it seems to be working for me. I have also added some more information to the Village Pump. If you still have problems let me know. -- MarkS 21:08, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi Sandstein, I see that you added a link to a new ref about Copyright law of Switzerland, and it looks interesting (and very relevant to the page). Given that I don't have access to Weblaw, and that the abstract I found there was not particularly helpful, do you think you could summarise shortly what Friedli says on the topic (in comparison to, say, the fair use rules that we use on Wikipedia). Sorry for pushing you if that was part of your plans; no urgency if it was not. Cheers, Schutz 22:54, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
