I recieved an email from another admin asking me to go through some of the Hollywood legends articles to see if I could reduce them and sub page them to make the articles look neater and more uniformed. I started doing that. If you don't mind and have a moment could you look and tell me what you think of what I have done so far. The biggest ones I have tackled so far is Bob Hope and Marilyn Monroe.

I know your selective.. but i got turned down.. and would love help Rankun ( talk) 18:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
== You deleted an important article ==AGAIN
I contacted another Admin and they say at best your argument for deltion is borderline. Why do you not ask to remove what you think is advertsing instead of deleting and important article?
COULD you answer the question? There are a number of refrences for onion juice therapy on the page - what is the problem?
You deleted Onion Juice Therapy that contained perhaps nine different sources to support it's use, including a famous scholar who has been recommending it for years. The site does have a link back to a page I have volunteered my time for - it is not a commercial site, which was made very clear in the talk section. I think you were a bit rash in your delition, if you objected to what you deemed to be commercial intrest you should have at least let the other supported content stand. In doing so you have practiced censorship and have deprived people of a very important method for treating cancer - a method that is now supported by scientific evidence from Cornel University confirming the benefits onions have on cancer. You should be a little less agressive, especially simce it was an article that in the talk pages was clearly described as being under construction. I also take issue with the fact that you think it is commercial as the site is in no way commercial. It does advocate and recommend certain treatments as does any good information source. No money is ever accepted for any salaries, administration costs or any other purposes - what money is donated is all put back into helping others.
I would appreciate it if you give me the original content and recommend some ideas how to improve the post instead of using a shotgun to kill a misquitto. Much is written about Wikipedias heavey handedness and bias, I am begining to see why. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesMMc ( talk • contribs) 05:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Biblio, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

Hi.
I noticed you joined up as a member of the Lists of basic topics WikiProject.
I have a couple requests for you...
As you browse/edit Wikipedia, please be on the lookout for links you can add to the lists of basic topics (and each time you find one, add it to the appropriate list). The ones that need the most work are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of basic topics.
You can also help build the set by adding or completing lists. Set a personal quota (build or complete one list per month, or per week, or per whatever time period you think you can handle), and keep up with your quota. These lists take from 3 hours to 8 hours each to complete, even if you know nothing about the subject to begin with. (The basic topics of a subject are pretty easy to identify). Even partial lists are useful for study and navigation, so don't be shy. Others can pick up where you've left off.
Links add up, so even if you add one link at a time, here and there, it will help. Please acquire the habit. The more people we get involved with this, the sooner the project will reach its intended scope.

Many thanks for thinking I would make a good administrator and offering to nominate me. I don't actually have any desire to be an administrator, and I'm not at all sure I would be a suitable person to either be one or be nominated to be one. At the moment, I find myself wanting to edit and create articles without having sufficient time available to do so. I think I must try to devote more time to editing and creating articles, as it would let my editing colleagues and friends down, especially within the Cheshire Wikiproject if I did not. The problem is that being an administrator would necessarily mean becoming committed to engaging in more administrator-related issues which would eat away at my editing time; I am already behind what I had hoped I would get done because of various other calls on my time, some unexpected, from family and home commitments. So, once again, many thanks for thinking I might be suitable, but I don't think it would be fair on my editing colleagues and the greater aims of the project for me to accept. Best wishes.

OK, I understand the difference between the G1, G4 and G11, but are there learning pages that you can direct me to that I can learn more about these in depth.

Hi Bibliomaniac15! Thank-you for your support in my RfA (91/1/1). |
I restored this page - it had been vandalized in January & truncated to the level where it appeared to qualify for CSD-G11. There was a rather detailed and well referenced page hiding in the history. -- Versa geek 18:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
(related discussion - relocated from the top of your talk page) Bibliomaniac15, I am the University of Washington professor facilitated the creation of the wikipedia site: Sounth Maury Island Environmental Issues. I understand that the site was radically changed recently and there was a quick deletion action taken. I understant why it was deleted. One of the students recently sent me this link: http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:NQ50O_fTG0UJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Maury_Island_environmental_issues+maury+island+environmental+issues&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a
I would like the wiki site to be reinstated to its original form before the substantive and biasing changes. The original wiki was based on months of class work, visitors from both sides of the issues, and honest student input. Even if it's reinstated into the 2006 or early 2007 version, it would be acceptable to me.
What can be done in this instance?
Sincerely, Patrick Christie, Associate Professor, University of Washington, Patrickchristie1

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.
There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).
If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hallowcvg.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly ( Parrot) 23:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

What I did was select the edits with the redirects and then clicked "invert selection" (at Special:Undelete). That restored the pre-redirect versions. Then I realized that I shouldn't have selected the edit with the CSD template, so I undid that one.

Glad to see someone else step up on that article; I think I tried tightening it up at one point but got sidetracked by the Cycluras or something. I don't feel comfortable enough doing a full peer-review, because I'm not the best proofreader in the world and I'm a bit biased against the toxicofera theory...I consider it junk science, but it's out there and it's sourced so...what can you do. The only sources I would suggest replacing are #3 and #10. The information cited by those sources is available among the others you already have and if not, both sources link to other more reputable sources; they're probably ok but look "self-published" and the komodo deserves better, and the FAC reviewers will puke all over you for that! Ref #32 (sign on the cage) might not hold up at FAC, either; again...that information is out there somehere else, I'm sure. I can help complete some of those other sources, missing dates, etc if you need me to; I might even have some additional literature not cited.

Hi Biblimaniac, I wanted to apologize for my most recent edit to EyeSerene's RfA. I am of the opinion that the question about Cool Down Blocks is not a very useful question, and so I subverted the question. By doing so, I caused at least one editor who otherwise would have supported to go neutral. Obviously, damaging EyeSerene's prospects was not my goal (I'm aware of what a good editor he is), and I should have been able to predict the consequence of my action. I really do feel awful for having made such a rash and immature mistake. -- JayHenry ( talk) 01:51, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments. Did you see anything else that needed addressing to this article that I missed? What is the normal procedure for On Hold? I was referring to my FA knowledge when saying the article is On Hold. I can go back and change it to failed if this article is not complete enough. Lastly, I used the GA template, but the after effect looks bad? Any quick tips to ensure it looks good when I use it? Thanks again, PG Pirate 19:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure to contact regarding this matter, but I saw that you are a pretty active wikipedian and so I thought I would ask. I am very tired of the crappy search engine that wikipedia uses. Is there not some way to mimic google's search where if you misspell something it asks you "Did you mean _____?" or displays close matches to what you are trying to say? If I am unsure how to spell something, it come back blank and then I search google, it finds what I mean, I click yes and then the wikipedia entry comes up on google. Is there anything that can be done?

Hey bud, can you please look at this issue here [4]? These two editors are just at each other and each one are very close to committing the 3RR rule violation. One feels that the source is not appropriate and the other one continues to remove it. Maybe you can see how you feel about it.. Thanks Canyouhearmenow 01:28, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Sounds great, and I just wanted to say thanks for being a great coach. As for the date of a nomination, I think I'd like to wait until June. That way, I can get in around 6 weeks of good experience in more Wikipedia-space work. Anyway, have a great day, and we'll keep in touch! Mastrchf91 ( t/ c) 21:43, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Hey Bud, I think if you look at my current history you will find out that I have been very busy lately. I have had to have the Lucille Ball page semi-protected. Someone put an unsubstantiated rumor on the David L Cook page and I had to have that removed by oversight. I have continually had to argue with one editor over a source they wanted to put on the Lucy page that was a subscription page and they just could not understand why I would not allow their edit to remain. So, I say that to say this. I have rewritten the header to the Lucy page and I would like for you to look at it and tell me what you tinhk. I took a totally different road with it, but I did it. I also merged the radio career into the main body like you had suggested. Is there any rest for the weary? Does wikipedia have a page that describes how this can be accomplished without being guilty of a POV or an administration violation? If so can you send me a link! LOL Thanks for everything bud Canyouhearmenow 03:08, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I went through an RfA a little less than two months ago, and it was an abysmal failure (see
here). At the suggestion of a couple of users, I have been working to contribute more content (i.e. mainspace edits) to the encyclopedia, whereas my major contributions to the project previously were (and to a lesser extent still are) new page patrolling, AfD, abuse reports, and other areas that do not always show up right away when measuring a user's experience. I would love to serve the community as a sysop, the tools would assist me as as a NPP, clearing backlogs (particularly in AfD), and fighting vandalism (I make regular reports to
WP:AIV and
WP:UAA). I saw your name listed as an admin coach, and was wondering if you'd be willing to help me? If you are unable, is there anyone you could suggest I go to? Thanks so much for your time

Hi, and thank you for your opinion. I must, however, respectfully disagree. It's very notable, but the question after that is a matter of necessity. Does Pokémon Yellow need to be split off from Red and Blue? No, because even the two articles combined doesn't boost the kb size too much. On top of this, it makes both articles more featurable, and if you worked on Yellow for so long, people would merely react to it and complain that the content is similar - like Emerald and Crystal, the article is composed of modified gameplay and plot sections, modified to add in the changes made in these games. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 02:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi - Could you please tell me more about your deletion of this page? This book is an important work by a nationally known author with who has dedicated his life to reducing the incidence of preventable medical errors in the USA. Every source is properly cited - His work is every bit as important as
How can I make it not blatant advertising in your view? Let me post the article here for your review: <removed for ease of access>
Thanks for some feedback. Specifics would be very appreciated.
Hello Biblomaniac15,
Please excuse the length of the subsequent rant, for it is quite rant-like, overzealous and under-specific. I'm also certain the grammar is wrong too - I was a little tired when writing it!
I realise that the CSD are quite strict, and for good reason, but I couldn't help but feel that this image should be deleted. I am aware that the author has not tagged it and thus it will, assuming status quo, be deleted. My case is that the image has no content, no referencing articles, for it has no essentially nonsensical and serves no purpose. It is clear that the image is just the natural logarthim, ln(x). I do not see any possible argument for keeping this image at all, especially when you consider that the user appears to have been registered just to post nonsense (which has been deleted from other talk pages prior to this.
I don't see that there is a need for a reply to this post, but I guess my original action as well as my current writing is born (borne?) from a mixture of several policies and their intent. WP:SNOW says that if something is obvious to everyone, just do it, don't wait for arbitrary time delays; whilst this policy is targeted at group behaviour, the concept of action before administration is the underlying concept with the SNOW policy encompassing a particular case of this concept. Secondly,WP:IAR - this is a risky policy to invoke, but nevertheless I shall attempt to do so - "There's way too much red tape on wiki. Sometimes that tape is rather sticky" Wikipedia:Ignore all rules/Versions is an embodiment of the concept that if red tape is preventing you from making a clearly required move, ignore the policy or guideline and perform the needed action. I believe this is pertinent in this situation.
By combining these two concurrent ideas in two separate policies it is evident that action is how one may improve wikipedia. Where no arguments, even of limited plausibility, can be constructed to oppose actions - action should be the path taken.
My comment is it is clear that the image should be deleted, but nor does it fall into CSD squarely. As an alternative to removing the tag, two options may be worth consideration - the image could have been transferred to ifd, rather than straight ifd tag removal or alternatively it could have been speedily deleted, possibly after conferring with other speedy deletion editors despite not being directly under a named criteria. To place a final overarching phrase; probably containing more force than I wish it to: I feel the clear path of action was not taken as the letter of the law was not engaged, wherase the spirit of the law, namely ifd, was.
My apologies for being critical, and no replies are necessary for this post - just another viewpoint. Kind regards User A1 ( talk) 15:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I know your selective.. but i got turned down.. and would love help Rankun ( talk) 18:20, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
== You deleted an important article ==AGAIN
I contacted another Admin and they say at best your argument for deltion is borderline. Why do you not ask to remove what you think is advertsing instead of deleting and important article?
COULD you answer the question? There are a number of refrences for onion juice therapy on the page - what is the problem?
You deleted Onion Juice Therapy that contained perhaps nine different sources to support it's use, including a famous scholar who has been recommending it for years. The site does have a link back to a page I have volunteered my time for - it is not a commercial site, which was made very clear in the talk section. I think you were a bit rash in your delition, if you objected to what you deemed to be commercial intrest you should have at least let the other supported content stand. In doing so you have practiced censorship and have deprived people of a very important method for treating cancer - a method that is now supported by scientific evidence from Cornel University confirming the benefits onions have on cancer. You should be a little less agressive, especially simce it was an article that in the talk pages was clearly described as being under construction. I also take issue with the fact that you think it is commercial as the site is in no way commercial. It does advocate and recommend certain treatments as does any good information source. No money is ever accepted for any salaries, administration costs or any other purposes - what money is donated is all put back into helping others.
I would appreciate it if you give me the original content and recommend some ideas how to improve the post instead of using a shotgun to kill a misquitto. Much is written about Wikipedias heavey handedness and bias, I am begining to see why. —Preceding unsigned comment added by JamesMMc ( talk • contribs) 05:29, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Biblio, thank you for taking part in
my RfB. As you may know, it was
not passed by bureaucrats.
I would, however, like to thank you for taking the time to voice your support, despite concerns cited by the opposition. Although RfA/B isn't really about a person, but more about the community, I was deeply touched and honoured by the outpouring of support and interest in the discussion. I can only hope that you don't feel your opinion was not considered enough - bureaucrats have to give everyone's thoughts weight.
I also hope that the results of this RfB lead to some change in the way we approach RfBs, and some thought about whether long-entrenched standards are a good thing in our growing and increasingly heterogenous community.
I was a little miserable after the results came out, so I'm going to spread the love via dancing hippos. As you do. :)
I remain eager to serve you as an administrator and as an editor. If at any point you see something problematic in my actions, please do not hesitate to
call me out. ~

Hi.
I noticed you joined up as a member of the Lists of basic topics WikiProject.
I have a couple requests for you...
As you browse/edit Wikipedia, please be on the lookout for links you can add to the lists of basic topics (and each time you find one, add it to the appropriate list). The ones that need the most work are listed at Wikipedia:WikiProject Lists of basic topics.
You can also help build the set by adding or completing lists. Set a personal quota (build or complete one list per month, or per week, or per whatever time period you think you can handle), and keep up with your quota. These lists take from 3 hours to 8 hours each to complete, even if you know nothing about the subject to begin with. (The basic topics of a subject are pretty easy to identify). Even partial lists are useful for study and navigation, so don't be shy. Others can pick up where you've left off.
Links add up, so even if you add one link at a time, here and there, it will help. Please acquire the habit. The more people we get involved with this, the sooner the project will reach its intended scope.

Many thanks for thinking I would make a good administrator and offering to nominate me. I don't actually have any desire to be an administrator, and I'm not at all sure I would be a suitable person to either be one or be nominated to be one. At the moment, I find myself wanting to edit and create articles without having sufficient time available to do so. I think I must try to devote more time to editing and creating articles, as it would let my editing colleagues and friends down, especially within the Cheshire Wikiproject if I did not. The problem is that being an administrator would necessarily mean becoming committed to engaging in more administrator-related issues which would eat away at my editing time; I am already behind what I had hoped I would get done because of various other calls on my time, some unexpected, from family and home commitments. So, once again, many thanks for thinking I might be suitable, but I don't think it would be fair on my editing colleagues and the greater aims of the project for me to accept. Best wishes.

Hi, I noticed you have a request in at peer review which has not yet received any response besides the semi-automated script. Have you tried requesting a peer review from the volunteers list? Another idea is to review someone else's request (particularly one from the list of requests without responses), then ask that they look at your request. Hope these are helpful suggestions and help to get some feedback for your request soon, APR t 02:00, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
OK, I understand the difference between the G1, G4 and G11, but are there learning pages that you can direct me to that I can learn more about these in depth. These are the areas you wanted me to go into and I truly do not want to dive in there and be hit by a speeding bus for not knowing the ins and outs of these workings. So, if there are direct pages for them, I would certainly appreciate you directing me to them. Thanks Canyouhearmenow 12:45, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
Hi Bibliomaniac15! Thank-you for your support in my RfA (91/1/1). |
I restored this page - it had been vandalized in January & truncated to the level where it appeared to qualify for CSD-G11. There was a rather detailed and well referenced page hiding in the history. -- Versa geek 18:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
(related discussion - relocated from the top of your talk page) Bibliomaniac15, I am the University of Washington professor facilitated the creation of the wikipedia site: Sounth Maury Island Environmental Issues. I understand that the site was radically changed recently and there was a quick deletion action taken. I understant why it was deleted. One of the students recently sent me this link: http://209.85.173.104/search?q=cache:NQ50O_fTG0UJ:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Maury_Island_environmental_issues+maury+island+environmental+issues&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=1&gl=us&client=firefox-a
I would like the wiki site to be reinstated to its original form before the substantive and biasing changes. The original wiki was based on months of class work, visitors from both sides of the issues, and honest student input. Even if it's reinstated into the 2006 or early 2007 version, it would be acceptable to me.
What can be done in this instance?
Sincerely, Patrick Christie, Associate Professor, University of Washington, Patrickchristie1

Hi, I have made a proposal that no peer review request be archived without some response. To aid in this, there is a new list of PR requests at least one week old that have had no repsonses beyond a semi-automated peer review. This list is at Wikipedia:Peer review/backlog.
There are just over 100 names on the PR volunteers page, so I figure if each of these volunteers reviewed just one or two PR requests without a response from the list each month, it would easily take care of the "no response" backlog (as there have been 2 or 3 such unanswered requests a day on average).
If you would be able to help out with a review or two a month from the "no responses" backlog list that would be great (and much appreciated). Please discuss questions, comments, or ideas at the PR talk page and thanks in advance for your help, Ruhrfisch ><>°° 00:13, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Hallowcvg.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Polly ( Parrot) 23:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Given that Code Lyoko has been protected for about half a month, and Karaku is unlikely to budge on his position (or even return given his last comment), I figure protection is a counterproductive measure now. — Trust not the Penguin ( T | C) 22:37, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
What I did was select the edits with the redirects and then clicked "invert selection" (at Special:Undelete). That restored the pre-redirect versions. Then I realized that I shouldn't have selected the edit with the CSD template, so I undid that one. Haha, don't worry, I mostly blundered my way through it (notice the mistake of redirecting it in the history). Nousernamesleft copper, not wood 23:24, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
Glad to see someone else step up on that article; I think I tried tightening it up at one point but got sidetracked by the Cycluras or something. I don't feel comfortable enough doing a full peer-review, because I'm not the best proofreader in the world and I'm a bit biased against the toxicofera theory...I consider it junk science, but it's out there and it's sourced so...what can you do. The only sources I would suggest replacing are #3 and #10. The information cited by those sources is available among the others you already have and if not, both sources link to other more reputable sources; they're probably ok but look "self-published" and the komodo deserves better, and the FAC reviewers will puke all over you for that! Ref #32 (sign on the cage) might not hold up at FAC, either; again...that information is out there somehere else, I'm sure. I can help complete some of those other sources, missing dates, etc if you need me to; I might even have some additional literature not cited. Good luck...this will make a great featured article!-- Mike - Μολὼν λαβέ 05:03, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Hi Biblimaniac, I wanted to apologize for my most recent edit to EyeSerene's RfA. I am of the opinion that the question about Cool Down Blocks is not a very useful question, and so I subverted the question. By doing so, I caused at least one editor who otherwise would have supported to go neutral. Obviously, damaging EyeSerene's prospects was not my goal (I'm aware of what a good editor he is), and I should have been able to predict the consequence of my action.

I am not sure to contact regarding this matter, but I saw that you are a pretty active wikipedian and so I thought I would ask. I am very tired of the crappy search engine that wikipedia uses. Is there not some way to mimic google's search where if you misspell something it asks you "Did you mean _____?" or displays close matches to what you are trying to say? If I am unsure how to spell something, it come back blank and then I search google, it finds what I mean, I click yes and then the wikipedia entry comes up on google. Is there anything that can be done?

Hey Bud, I think if you look at my current history you will find out that I have been very busy lately. I have had to have the Lucille Ball page semi-protected. Someone put an unsubstantiated rumor on the David L Cook page and I had to have that removed by oversight. I have continually had to argue with one editor over a source they wanted to put on the Lucy page that was a subscription page and they just could not understand why I would not allow their edit to remain. So, I say that to say this. I have rewritten the header to the Lucy page and I would like for you to look at it and tell me what you tinhk. I took a totally different road with it, but I did it. I also merged the radio career into the main body like you had suggested. Is there any rest for the weary? Does wikipedia have a page that describes how this can be accomplished without being guilty of a POV or an administration violation? If so can you send me a link!

At the suggestion of a couple of users, I have been working to contribute more content (i.e. mainspace edits) to the encyclopedia, whereas my major contributions to the project previously were (and to a lesser extent still are) new page patrolling, AfD, abuse reports, and other areas that do not always show up right away when measuring a user's experience. I would love to serve the community as a sysop, the tools would assist me as as a NPP, clearing backlogs (particularly in AfD), and fighting vandalism (I make regular reports to
WP:AIV and
WP:UAA). I saw your name listed as an admin coach, and was wondering if you'd be willing to help me? If you are unable, is there anyone you could suggest I go to? Thanks so much for your time

Hi, and thank you for your opinion. I must, however, respectfully disagree. It's very notable, but the question after that is a matter of necessity. Does Pokémon Yellow need to be split off from Red and Blue? No, because even the two articles combined doesn't boost the kb size too much. On top of this, it makes both articles more featurable, and if you worked on Yellow for so long, people would merely react to it and complain that the content is similar - like Emerald and Crystal, the article is composed of modified gameplay and plot sections, modified to add in the changes made in these games. - A Link to the Past (talk) 01:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Bibliomaniac15...Thank you for supporting my nomination for adminship. Through it I have become aware of a great many people who can help me in my future editing endeavors. Even though I was not promoted, your support shows that I still have something to contribute to Wikipedia, even if it is minor edits to fix spelling and grammar to working in WikiProjects to help others make great articles. If you wish to further discuss the nomination, please use its talk page. Stop by my talk page anytime, even if it is just to say hello. Have a wonderful day! - LA @ 04:00, 30 April 2008 (UTC) |
I've been deleting most of them, but when I see an odd one, like where people voted or where the contributor is still active, I was MFDing. I'll know just to delete in the future. Thanks. MBisanz talk 20:21, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
Hi, i requested semiprotection on Wikipedia:Requests for page protection for article List of billionaires (2007). Protection was granted and template placed to article, but a few hours after was removed by bot and i cannot see any entry about protection in article log. I am little bit confused if that is error or intent. Thanks for clafify. -- Jklamo ( talk) 17:00, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey there. I wanted to know if you would possibly become my admin coach. I am still a relatively new wikipedia user, but since joining the community, I have been very active. I think I have a lot to give and one day in the future, I would like to become an administrator, but there are still a lot of areas that I need more experience and support in and that is where i hoped that you could come in. I have been adopted by useight and he reccommended you. Thanks a lot for your time. Londonfella ( talk) 18:53, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey, thanks a lot for getting back to me so quickly and I appreciate your honesty. I will take all your comments on board and hopefully come back when I have gained more experience. Londonfella ( talk) 17:32, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight ( talk) 02:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Rather than waiting a week for you to return, I'm dropping a note in now. I think I've dealt with all the missing citations you picked up in the review. And thanks for picking up the GAN so fast, I was expecting to wait quite a while. -- Sabre ( talk) 10:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
May I alert you to a discussion on merging Ondine (Sir Frederick Ashton ballet) into Ondine (Henze)! — Robert Greer ( talk) 18:45, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Dear Biblomaniac15, Thank you for the rollback feature. Not quite sure what it entails, but the article pages on it seem very informative. I'm sure it'll help with reverting vandalism. All the best, Mark t young ( talk) 23:06, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I see that you deleted the image that I uploaded (Image:San Isidro-Lima), and I understand there are guidlines and regulations pertaining to the uploading of images on Wikipedia, however you did not leave an explanation on my talkpage for the cause of the deletion as for me to see if there would be an opportunity to find out what was done incorrectly, and possibly re-upload it with the correct license. I would appreciate it if you would do this as to correct this incident.
Regards, Vivaperucarajo ( talk) 01:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thomas Calcagni, for which you declined speedy deletion, is now at AfD. Your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thomas Calcagni would be welcome. -- Eastmain ( talk) 03:04, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for semi-protecting Poliomyelitis. This article has received almost daily vandalism since it became a Featured Article.-- Dan Dassow ( talk) 14:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
You deleted an earlier version of Autobytel created by another editor. I wanted to let you know that I found some useful references about the company and added them to the article. I think the article now establishes notability. -- Eastmain ( talk) 00:23, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Visit this site: http://horaciozambrana.ning.com/ The article Horacio Zambrana was deleted and I placed a reason on the talk page explaining why it should not be deleted. I just joined today. Would you please tell me why the article Horacio Zambrana was deleted? And could you please undelete it? Hzambrana ( talk) 04:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, this is the only site for him (Horacio Zambran). So I guess it should be kept deleted. Thanks for helping me figure out whether this person should be added to wikipedia. Maybe in the future when he is more notable, I'll redo the article. Thanks again! Hzambrana ( talk) 05:37, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello Bibliomaniac15, I was wondering if you could help me get even more experienced on the English Wikipedia. If you could somehow keep a eye on me, ask me questions about that policy, what action would you do for example. Thank you, I hope I'm not bothering you with this message. Best regards -- Kanonkas : Take Contact 15:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi - Could you please tell me more about your deletion of this page? This book is an important work by a nationally known author with who has dedicated his life to reducing the incidence of preventable medical errors in the USA. Every source is properly cited - His work is every bit as important as
How can I make it not blatant advertising in your view? Let me post the article here for your review: <removed for ease of access>
Thanks for some feedback. Specifics would be very appreciated.
Hello Biblomaniac15,
Please excuse the length of the subsequent rant, for it is quite rant-like, overzealous and under-specific. I'm also certain the grammar is wrong too - I was a little tired when writing it!
I realise that the CSD are quite strict, and for good reason, but I couldn't help but feel that this image should be deleted. I am aware that the author has not tagged it and thus it will, assuming status quo, be deleted. My case is that the image has no content, no referencing articles, for it has no essentially nonsensical and serves no purpose. It is clear that the image is just the natural logarthim, ln(x). I do not see any possible argument for keeping this image at all, especially when you consider that the user appears to have been registered just to post nonsense (which has been deleted from other talk pages prior to this.
I don't see that there is a need for a reply to this post, but I guess my original action as well as my current writing is born (borne?) from a mixture of several policies and their intent. WP:SNOW says that if something is obvious to everyone, just do it, don't wait for arbitrary time delays; whilst this policy is targeted at group behaviour, the concept of action before administration is the underlying concept with the SNOW policy encompassing a particular case of this concept. Secondly,WP:IAR - this is a risky policy to invoke, but nevertheless I shall attempt to do so - "There's way too much red tape on wiki. Sometimes that tape is rather sticky" Wikipedia:Ignore all rules/Versions is an embodiment of the concept that if red tape is preventing you from making a clearly required move, ignore the policy or guideline and perform the needed action. I believe this is pertinent in this situation.
By combining these two concurrent ideas in two separate policies it is evident that action is how one may improve wikipedia. Where no arguments, even of limited plausibility, can be constructed to oppose actions - action should be the path taken.
My comment is it is clear that the image should be deleted, but nor does it fall into CSD squarely. As an alternative to removing the tag, two options may be worth consideration - the image could have been transferred to ifd, rather than straight ifd tag removal or alternatively it could have been speedily deleted, possibly after conferring with other speedy deletion editors despite not being directly under a named criteria. To place a final overarching phrase; probably containing more force than I wish it to: I feel the clear path of action was not taken as the letter of the law was not engaged, wherase the spirit of the law, namely ifd, was.
My apologies for being critical, and no replies are necessary for this post - just another viewpoint. Kind regards User A1 ( talk) 15:33, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
