Recently noticed that the page was deleted. Funny to see that some editors said it was not notable. Its so strange that Wikipedia finds a porn site Savita_Bhabhi notable and worthy of listing and deletes pages like Podbharti and Indicast. Its a shame really, just thought I would tell you that I admonish this notion of Wikipedia and wonder why the admins don't even bother to notify the authors of the deleted pages even once before taking such drastic steps.

Something of a discussion went on in Wknight94's talk page about Olympians. Thought you'd care. Also, did you see the way the discussion went on Anthony Slama? In my opinion, I got another one of my articles saved.
I really don't feel like doing this for all of them. The key ones to me are Robert Delaney, Brian Dinkelman, Jeff Manship, Wilson Ramos, Anthony Slama, Danny Valencia, Rene Tosoni, Alex Burnett & Cole Devries.

Hi Wizardman,
It seems I'm supposed to contact you (the deleting administrator), before going through the deletion review procedure...
I wasn't actually informed of the deletion (typical! Even though i had quite a few edits to them (Was noted about the dispution of license in response to the images)), so didn't actually know they were up for deletion until they were gone (was not really on WP much at that point)
I am after seeing if you would agree to undelete the article (and probably the albums, however, the notability of those is a bit more iffy). I am happy enough to do the undeletion myself.
You didn't actually comment in the deletion, just close and delete the articles.
To counter the first 3 points regarding notability of the band. Per WP:MUSIC
"A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:"
The Band at least meets these 2 criteria:
And possibly some of the others. [5] - They were a feature band of a Radio 2 session back in 2005. The BBC itself asserts enough notability and international credability, and with the tracks being played, it therefore means they meet the criteria.
They have also been featured in various magazines, and played at large festivals around europe
Granted, i will agree that the articles werent brilliant, and not the best sourced. If we can get it undeleted, I'm going to work on improving it, getting it better and properly sourced. And then for images, the band have said they will deal with the licensing, and sort that out if necessary
Thanks

I have removed your entry in the Five-million pool, since at the time of entering the Wikipedia article count had already reached 2,500,000, so the pool was closed.

You beat me to it with your talk page response -- I was typing the same thing. Do you think Joe Connor will be the 2.5 millionth article? It would be nice if it were a ballplayer, but I've had a tough time finding info on him so far, other than his brother being famous. According to the 1920 and 1930 census, he was a salesman after he left baseball, but I'm not sure how to cite that (or if it counts as WP:OR). Coemgenus 17:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, just wondering if you could verify a fact from an article I created a couple of days ago?

Hi, just question. The article had several images, but a concern was raised in FA nom that these images were fair use, so I have removed much of the images. Compare the present version with this version. I am not sure if one of the images can be brought back or not. There was also a graph, but I am not well-versed in making graph or chart. Is there any project in wikipedia which can make graph for articles? Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 01:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Wizardman. I've expanded Joe Connor, said to be the 2,500,000th article, to have a chance at appearing on the Main Page. I've decided to try and expand Roger Craig also, since it's not entirely clear which is the 2,500,000th article. I just thought I'd let you know. I think it would be a good idea for Wikipedia's 2,500,000th article to appear on the Main Page. -- RyRy ( talk) 22:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
When I originally created the USA Baseball Olympic Team roster, I accidentally spelled Stephen Strasburg's name Steven Strasburg.

Since you successfully moved to shift major league players by position to Major League Baseball players by position (I have no problem with that), maybe you could make a somewhat similar nomination to move Category:American Major League Baseball players by home state and its subcats to Category:American baseball players by home state and appropriate subcats; ideally, this could fold in all the Negro leaguers as well as the relatively few players under Category:American baseball players. The only potential drawback I can foresee would be a tendency to add more articles for non-major leaguers than would be ideal, but I think the advantages outweight the negatives. (It would also agree with cats like Category:American basketball players by state and Category:American football players by state, both of which need to be filled out - though I think they both should also specify home state.) MisfitToys ( talk) 23:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for closing the WP:ANI discussion.
I am really not arguing here or trying to be belligerent, but do you have any guidance on what pages this ban actually includes? Obviously it includes William M. Connolley. Does it include edits to RealClimate which have nothing whatsoever to do with WMC, or not? Does it include edits to Lawrence Solomon as Raul wants it to, or not (assuming that they have nothing whatsoever to do with WMC)?
Any guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
-- GoRight ( talk) 00:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
I have another question. User:Ncmvocalist created the following page, User:GoRight/Community sanction, which is fine but I note that he altered the text of the ban from what was actually !voted on. For example:
From my topic ban proposal:
GoRight topic-banned from William Connolley-related pages - this is not to be confused with edits regarding User:William M. Connolley.
From the editing restrictions page:
GoRight is topic-banned from William Connolley-related pages - this is not to be confused with edits regarding User:William M. Connolley.
From the community sanction page:
GoRight is topic-banned William Connolley-related pages, broadly construed. This is not to be confused with making edits concerning User: William M. Connolley.
Strictly speaking, a broad interpretation was discussed but so too were a lot of other things. The language that people actually !voted on did not include the "broadly construed" language so I sort of object to this change of language by User:Ncmvocalist after the fact. Is this legitimate? -- GoRight ( talk) 05:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm just letting you know that I'm unblocking this user that you blocked as a result of the AfD drama. It seems (based on the discussion I've had with the user in deviantART, see my user page that the user in question seems to behave more or less rationally; I'm pretty convinced that this user isn't fundamentally here to stir trouble, as could be discerned from the slightly panicked behaviour in AfD and elsewhere. I'm pretty sure all inappropriate behaviour can be tutored away in this case.

I want to thank you for addressing the changes to the language of my topic ban by User:Ncmvocalist. While you had indicated that you were intending to review my RfC and close it, User:Ncmvocalist decided to take it upon himself to do so. I object to the language he has used in the summary thereof because he is clearly trying to bias the results there against me by implying that my topic ban was a result of the RfC which it was not. The discussion on WP:ANI which lead to the topic ban was clearly independent from the RfC discussion and not a result of any discussion that occurred there.
I have raised this issue with him on his talk page and he refuses to address my concern, [7]. There is also discussion of this on the talk page for the RfC, [8].
I tried placing my own comment explaining this fact in the summary, [9], but he subsequently reverted it, [10].
While I wish to put this entire episode behind me, [11], I object to User:Ncmvocalist's attempts to bias the record against me. I believe that he has become biased against me since he is the one that opened the Topic Ban Proposal against me, [12], and he has made biased charges against me without explaining them in any way, [13] At this point I can only assume that he is disappointed with the outcome of the topic ban and is now using his administrative authority to inflict as much damage as possible after the fact, specifically by altering the language that was voted on in the Community sanction page he created, as you saw, and attempting to link the WP:ANI result to the RfC when the two were completely independent of one another. As it stands now, his closing remark makes it appear as though an RfC was conducted and as a result thereof an WP:ANI discussion was held to institute a sanction against me. Obviously this is not how the events unfolded and I object to his attempts to make it appear so.
What is to be done here? I don't want more wikidrama but I won't let the closing of my RfC stand as it is without complaint. If necessary I intend to raise this issue on WP:ANI as I consider these actions on User:Ncmvocalist's part to be harassment after the fact and abuse of his administrative position. Your advice and assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. -- GoRight ( talk) 18:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

There was no consensus in the discussion, that is why I relisted it. I find your immediate closing as delete was sloppy and hasty. Sheer vote-counting might lead one to find a case for deletion, but the only participant who contributed to the discussion aside from the nominator actually made a good case for keeping the article. There was need for more discussion, and so you should not have closed it yet. I will submit this for deletion review tomorrow if it is still closed.

Hi. I noticed you are relisting AfDs which have failure many votes. I'm not trying to challenge you on this—and perhaps this practice is official policy, perhaps you've already explained this several times before—but it seems to me that AfD nomination that has failed to attract much attention and has no "keep" votes is essentially equivalent to an uncontested PROD and could be closed as "Delete" rather than relisted. Certainly if there are few votes and a least one of them is "keep" then relisting makes senses, but relisting undisputed AfDs seems to me like unnecessarily adding to the AfD backlog. What do you think? Yilloslime (t) 19:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Wizardman,
It seems I'm supposed to contact you (the deleting administrator), before going through the deletion review procedure...
I wasn't actually informed of the deletion (typical! Even though i had quite a few edits to them (Was noted about the dispution of license in response to the images)), so didn't actually know they were up for deletion until they were gone (was not really on WP much at that point)
I am after seeing if you would agree to undelete the article (and probably the albums, however, the notability of those is a bit more iffy). I am happy enough to do the undeletion myself.
You didn't actually comment in the deletion, just close and delete the articles.
To counter the first 3 points regarding notability of the band. Per WP:MUSIC
"A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:"
The Band at least meets these 2 criteria:
And possibly some of the others. [5] - They were a feature band of a Radio 2 session back in 2005. The BBC itself asserts enough notability and international credability, and with the tracks being played, it therefore means they meet the criteria.
They have also been featured in various magazines, and played at large festivals around europe
Granted, i will agree that the articles werent brilliant, and not the best sourced. If we can get it undeleted, I'm going to work on improving it, getting it better and properly sourced. And then for images, the band have said they will deal with the licensing, and sort that out if necessary
Thanks

Hey Wizardman, thanks for closing this MfD, as well as the other one. However, I wanted to clarify that since IL7Soulhunter has moved User:IL7Soulhunter/Bored/More/Special/Bored/More/Secret/Guestbook to simply User:IL7Soulhunter/Guestbook, I am okay with allowing him to keep that page, per Blow of Light's rationale at the MfD. Thanks. :) Glass Cobra 22:30, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
According to my records, you have nominated at least one article ( Billy Pierce) that includes a category at WP:CHIBOTCATS and that has been promoted to WP:FA, WP:FL or WP:GA. You are not signed up as an active member of WP:CHICAGO. If you consider yourself either an active or semi-active member of the project please sign up as such at Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/members. Also, if you are a member, be aware of Wikipedia:Meetup/Chicago 3 and be advised that the project is now trying to keep all the project's WP:PR, WP:FAC, WP:FAR, WP:GAR, WP:GAC WP:FLC, WP:FLRC, WP:FTC, WP:FPOC, WP:FPC, and WP:AFD discussion pages in one location at the new Wikipedia:WikiProject Chicago/Review page.

I have removed your entry in the Five-million pool, since at the time of entering the Wikipedia article count had already reached 2,500,000, so the pool was closed. If it is any consolation to you, I am fairly convinced that by the end of 2012 the count will still be less than 3,500,000. -- Lambiam 22:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Don't quote me on this, but I think this is the 2,500,000th article. Sceptre ( talk) 23:05, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, Wizardman,
Thanks very much for asking me about a nom for adminship, which I'm happy to accept. Rlevse had asked me the same thing a few weeks ago, so if it's ok with you, I'd appreciate your conom, as discussed here: User talk:JGHowes#Admin.

Thank you. I posted the following on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Baseball
I noticed an innaccuracy on Wikipedia. In 1979, it says:
In actuality, Phil was the brother who lost 20 games that season. I don't know how to correct that particular entry. Would it be correct to change it to read:

You beat me to it with your talk page response -- I was typing the same thing. Do you think Joe Connor will be the 2.5 millionth article? It would be nice if it were a ballplayer, but I've had a tough time finding info on him so far, other than his brother being famous. According to the 1920 and 1930 census, he was a salesman after he left baseball, but I'm not sure how to cite that (or if it counts as WP:OR). Coemgenus 17:08, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, just wondering if you could verify a fact from an article I created a couple of days ago? I was hoping it might be included on the Main Page and thought this might be an area that appeals to you. It is currently second from the bottom of its section (the 10th). Cheers. :) -- Candlewicke Consortiums Limited 22:12, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi, just question. The article had several images, but a concern was raised in FA nom that these images were fair use, so I have removed much of the images. Compare the present version with this version. I am not sure if one of the images can be brought back or not. There was also a graph, but I am not well-versed in making graph or chart. Is there any project in wikipedia which can make graph for articles? Otolemur crassicaudatus ( talk) 01:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Poor you, sorry that you have to re list all these articles, I've been giving the wikiproject a clean out, so much rubbish in there that needed deleting. Still, I won't nominate Michael Jackson's health and appearance like some other admin did recently. :-) — Realist 2 02:54, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi Wizardman. I've expanded Joe Connor, said to be the 2,500,000th article, to have a chance at appearing on the Main Page. I've decided to try and expand Roger Craig also, since it's not entirely clear which is the 2,500,000th article. I just thought I'd let you know. I think it would be a good idea for Wikipedia's 2,500,000th article to appear on the Main Page. -- RyRy ( talk) 22:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
When I originally created the USA Baseball Olympic Team roster, I accidentally spelled Stephen Strasburg's name Steven Strasburg. He pitched a one hitter in the Olympics today, so I created an entry for him. I didn't notice it until after I already created it.

Since you successfully moved to shift major league players by position to Major League Baseball players by position (I have no problem with that), maybe you could make a somewhat similar nomination to move Category:American Major League Baseball players by home state and its subcats to Category:American baseball players by home state and appropriate subcats; ideally, this could fold in all the Negro leaguers as well as the relatively few players under Category:American baseball players. The only potential drawback I can foresee would be a tendency to add more articles for non-major leaguers than would be ideal, but I think the advantages outweight the negatives. (It would also agree with cats like Category:American basketball players by state and Category:American football players by state, both of which need to be filled out - though I think they both should also specify home state.) MisfitToys ( talk) 23:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for closing the WP:ANI discussion.
I am really not arguing here or trying to be belligerent, but do you have any guidance on what pages this ban actually includes? Obviously it includes William M. Connolley. Does it include edits to RealClimate which have nothing whatsoever to do with WMC, or not? Does it include edits to Lawrence Solomon as Raul wants it to, or not (assuming that they have nothing whatsoever to do with WMC)?
Any guidance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
-- GoRight ( talk) 00:08, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
I have another question. User:Ncmvocalist created the following page, User:GoRight/Community sanction, which is fine but I note that he altered the text of the ban from what was actually !voted on. For example:
From my topic ban proposal:
GoRight topic-banned from William Connolley-related pages - this is not to be confused with edits regarding User:William M. Connolley.
From the editing restrictions page:
GoRight is topic-banned from William Connolley-related pages - this is not to be confused with edits regarding User:William M. Connolley.
From the community sanction page:
GoRight is topic-banned William Connolley-related pages, broadly construed. This is not to be confused with making edits concerning User: William M. Connolley.
Strictly speaking, a broad interpretation was discussed but so too were a lot of other things. The language that people actually !voted on did not include the "broadly construed" language so I sort of object to this change of language by User:Ncmvocalist after the fact. Is this legitimate? -- GoRight ( talk) 05:02, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
I'm just letting you know that I'm unblocking this user that you blocked as a result of the AfD drama. It seems (based on the discussion I've had with the user in deviantART, see my user page that the user in question seems to behave more or less rationally; I'm pretty convinced that this user isn't fundamentally here to stir trouble, as could be discerned from the slightly panicked behaviour in AfD and elsewhere. I'm pretty sure all inappropriate behaviour can be tutored away in this case. I've given the user an appropriate Lecture to go with the unblock. -- wwwwolf ( barks/ growls) 15:55, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I posted the following on the baseball discussion page, but I figured I'd ask you as well. I thought it might be cool to add flags to indicate foreign born players on the Miracle roster, but I wasn't sure if that was something that was acceptable for Wikipedia.

I want to thank you for addressing the changes to the language of my topic ban by User:Ncmvocalist. While you had indicated that you were intending to review my RfC and close it, User:Ncmvocalist decided to take it upon himself to do so. I object to the language he has used in the summary thereof because he is clearly trying to bias the results there against me by implying that my topic ban was a result of the RfC which it was not. The discussion on WP:ANI which lead to the topic ban was clearly independent from the RfC discussion and not a result of any discussion that occurred there.
I have raised this issue with him on his talk page and he refuses to address my concern, [7]. There is also discussion of this on the talk page for the RfC, [8].
I tried placing my own comment explaining this fact in the summary, [9], but he subsequently reverted it, [10].
While I wish to put this entire episode behind me, [11], I object to User:Ncmvocalist's attempts to bias the record against me. I believe that he has become biased against me since he is the one that opened the Topic Ban Proposal against me, [12], and he has made biased charges against me without explaining them in any way, [13] At this point I can only assume that he is disappointed with the outcome of the topic ban and is now using his administrative authority to inflict as much damage as possible after the fact, specifically by altering the language that was voted on in the Community sanction page he created, as you saw, and attempting to link the WP:ANI result to the RfC when the two were completely independent of one another. As it stands now, his closing remark makes it appear as though an RfC was conducted and as a result thereof an WP:ANI discussion was held to institute a sanction against me. Obviously this is not how the events unfolded and I object to his attempts to make it appear so.
What is to be done here? I don't want more wikidrama but I won't let the closing of my RfC stand as it is without complaint. If necessary I intend to raise this issue on WP:ANI as I consider these actions on User:Ncmvocalist's part to be harassment after the fact and abuse of his administrative position. Your advice and assistance in resolving this matter would be greatly appreciated. -- GoRight ( talk) 18:56, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

There was no consensus in the discussion, that is why I relisted it. I find your immediate closing as delete was sloppy and hasty. Sheer vote-counting might lead one to find a case for deletion, but the only participant who contributed to the discussion aside from the nominator actually made a good case for keeping the article. There was need for more discussion, and so you should not have closed it yet. I will submit this for deletion review tomorrow if it is still closed.

Why did you delete it then change your mind? It clearly fails WP:N given the utter lack of sources, so I don't see any point in dragging it out any longer. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ( Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 04:05, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello, the article Bambina (Idoli song) signgle by Idoli you have deleted was fully standard as the deletion tag was placed before I edited it and added aditional information. A user called Esradekan Gibb "Talk" 00:33, 19 August 2008 (UTC) confirmed that the article was fully functional and wanted to remove the deletion tag. Please restore the deleted page and remove the deltion tag. Thank you in advance.

Hi. I noticed you are relisting AfDs which have failure many votes. I'm not trying to challenge you on this—and perhaps this practice is official policy, perhaps you've already explained this several times before—but it seems to me that AfD nomination that has failed to attract much attention and has no "keep" votes is essentially equivalent to an uncontested PROD and could be closed as "Delete" rather than relisted. Certainly if there are few votes and a least one of them is "keep" then relisting makes senses, but relisting undisputed AfDs seems to me like unnecessarily adding to the AfD backlog. What do you think? Yilloslime (t) 19:15, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
