Speedy deletion of Oh, be a fine girl and kiss me

A tag has been placed on Oh, be a fine girl and kiss me, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{ hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

What??
I am administrator at Swedish Wikipedia, and administrator and bureaucrat at Swedish Wiktionary. The term "Oh, be a fine girl, kiss me" is a widely-known phrase for remembering the stellar spectral classes (O, B, A, F, G, K, M). Almost all physicists know it, and it is mentioned in most introductory astrophysics books. Furthermore, it is mentioned in the Stellar classification article, the target of the redirects. You really should be more careful before classifying articles (including redirects) as "nonsense". -- Andreas Rejbrand ( talk) 14:55, 24 February 2008 (UTC) reply
Sorry, the article as it existed when I tagged it mentioned none of this. What I saw was nothing but an invitation to discuss, which, as you probably know, should not be in the article mainspace. Maybe previous versions are a different story, I don't know. --Blanchardb- MeMyEarsMyMouth-timed 14:59, 24 February 2008 (UTC) reply

Dubious "Neutrality"

Regarding this response:

Stating an opinion is "neutral" is not acceptable according to Wikipedia policy. We're pretty loose at the Reference Desk (and my comment was intended to derail a holy war as much as chastise you) but you cannot seriously hold that your biased personal opinions are "neutral". Please review the Reference Desk guidelines and try to refrain from providing biased personal opinions to future queries. Thank you. –  74  01:17, 2 March 2009 (UTC) reply

"Blue colour is more appealing than red colour" is (according to one of two possible definitions of the word) an opinion, which in general is neither true nor false and is related to an emotional response. "I think that blue colour is more appealing than red colour" is a fact (either true or false - maybe you even can verify it using some medical imaging technique applied to the brain). "Neutral" was maybe ("maybe" because some great NPOV articles cite the opinions of other people) a bad word - I'm sorry for that - but the latter example certainly qaulifies as a "fact". But really, it is no big deal. I could spend some hours investigating the definitions of "opinion", "neutral", "fact", "POV" and their use (and misuse) in the current discussion, but I am short of time. Your comment regarding IE was not obviously neutral, either. Also, the user seemed to be looking for "opinions" as well as "facts". My point is that I do not find this issue important enough to investigate it further. One simple thing to think about, however, is that you should not post comments that are not necessary. -- Andreas Rejbrand ( talk) 13:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC) reply
Suit yourself; but willful ignorance of the rules is not a defense. –  74  23:31, 2 March 2009 (UTC) reply
I am not familiar with the expression "suit yourself". However, I notice some annoyance in your "voice", and it might simply be due to a misunderstanding. When I wrote "One simple thing to think about, however, is that you should not post comments that are not necessary.", I was of course referring to this comment (and, to some extent, the previous comment made by you). But I really do not see why we should make any big deal out of this. My original post (Chrome) was not that awful. Then you came with a not really neccesary comment, and then I wrote an even more irrelevant comment. I am sorry for that! -- Andreas Rejbrand ( talk) 23:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC) reply
" Suit yourself" is an idiom meaning "do as you please". As I previously stated, my comment was a half-joke intended to prevent the question from turning into an opinion survey (which a previous poster had correctly identified as prohibited by our guidelines), a "humorous reminder" of neutrality. Was my comment necessary? I have no idea. I'm sorry if you took it as a personal attack; I assure you that wasn't what I intended. –  74  02:41, 3 March 2009 (UTC) reply

An Important Keyword

Thank you for raising the question and thank you for your continued involvement in the ensuing conversation involving quite a number of people. I felt it was a good conversation. You helped to guide us to an area of research, albeit "original," on a topic I don't recall seeing before. I hope "alienation" was a relevant concept to bring to the discussion. I just meant it in the sense that television broadcasters are understandably interested in keeping the greatest number viewers (potential buyers of products) watching their TV program.
