Hi TC. I know I cannot stand in the way of a tidal wave of wiki opinion but just wanted to add some notes for you.
Given the last point I have therefore saved a copy now as a last hurrah, expecting the worst. Good evening and good luck. —Preceding comment added by Nklar ( talk • contribs) 15:46, 01 May 2008 (UT
This is covered in Wikipedia:Stub. Like most guidelines, there is some leeway. Size is not always an indicator. Personally, I don't like it if the article is really a related list. However if it has multiple sections with text it clearly is past a stub. While I'm review one class of stubs right now, I'm also leaving many tagged as stubs since they are. So, bottom line there is some subjectivity and I tend to lean on not tagging a stub in the close cases. I might add {{ expand}} to some. Vegaswikian ( talk) 19:18, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I removed the speedy tag because with some image problems (no source, no copyright tag, no fair use rationale, replaceable/contested fair use image, orphaned fair use) we must instead tag for a varying number of days, after which time the image can be deleted, so that the problems can potentially be fixed. The reason I removed one edit and tagged the next was so that I could tag it using Twinkle, saving me a small amount of time by automatically notifying the user and meaning I don't have to remember the names of the appropriate templates. As for the actual tags, off hand, I'm not certain where to find them, but I remembered orphaned fair use is {{orfud}} and replaceable is {{rfud}}. As I say, using Twinkle, I don't have to remember them now. Does that answer your question? J Milburn ( talk) 16:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi - I see you have recently created one or more new stub types. As it states at Wikipedia:Stub, at the top of most stub categories, and in many other places on Wikipedia, it is recommended that new stub types are proposed prior to creation at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. This is partly in order to check whether the new stub type is already covered by existing stub types, whether it is named according to stub naming guidelines, whether it is otherwise correctly formatted, whether it reaches the standard threshold for creation of a new stub type, and whether it crosses existing stub type hierarchies, and partly so that those who regularly deal with stub articles know what stub types are likely to need re-sorting soon. Your new stub type is currently listed at WP:WSS/D - please feel free to make any comments there as to any rationale for this stub type. And please, in future, consider proposing new stub types first! Grutness... wha? 03:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Congrats! I've created around 100 new museum articles this morning for Greece and Thailand. With Greece i have added external links to fairly decent sources so they should all be able to be expanded decently. I've developed Abdera Archaeological Museum, Aegean Maritime Museum , Aiane Archaeological Museum etc to begin with and will gradually try to fill out all the other greek ones. Any help in expanding would be warmly appreciated. I've tagged them all also so you don't have to worry about that ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 12:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Ah I'm not really bothered just playing the poor guy. But yes the idea of it is quite an ignorant one although he is quite free to state any problems he has with them to me.

I see that you brought it to AFD, which is appropriate if you believe it should be deleted but don't think it meets a speedy deletion criterion. I agree that it doesn't fit G1 (nonsense); but, I do think it falls under G3 as "blatant and obvious misinformation". It is also addressed by Wikipedia is not for something made up. I'll leave the speedy tag and let continued discussion continue rather than deleting it. — ERcheck ( talk) 04:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

He was blocked in November but won't go away. Problem is that some of his edits are useful (such as the Gary Glitter ones) but others are just hopeless. He was blocked because it took too long to go through his huge numbers of edits and check them. He pops up every few days or so, and I block him on sight; he's most noticeable by his edits to TV actors and cars, always messing about with infoboxes. He seems to have improved, but needs to ask for unblocking on his sockmaster account. Given the multiple sockpuppetry since, I don't see it happening. -- Rodhull andemu 23:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment here so the interested parties can comment in one place. After learning that I'm not moving as soon as planned and another discussion with Keeper, I decided it's now or never. While I don't "need" the tools (no one does), I think I'd be able to help improve the project overall with them. I'm putting this here for discussion from those who offered a co-nom to see a) if each of you is still interested and b) to proceed. I answered the first three questions and am ready to answer whatever else comes at me. I'm on Eastern Standard Time and will be generally online this evening (dinner, commute excluded) to answer any of your questions. Definitely want to say thank you for each of your encouragement in this. Whether or not it passes, and I hope it does, I like knowing I have support of other editors/admins. TravellingCari the Busy Bee 19:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the fun barnstar. Where do they all come from?
I'm happy to add the categories to new listings. The Amelia museum just popped up at me. With large states it's helpful to have the lists eventually by region, so for now I'm adding Visitor attractions in Long Island, etc. Another option is to have Museums in Long Island as a subset, like Museums in NYC. Which do you think should be used for the long term categorizations in NY state? There will eventually (hopefully) be so many articles, but it's hard to see them all at once unless the List of museums in NY is used. I'm just trying to think logically for the long term benefit of the categories. Opinion? Jllm06 ( talk) 20:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Regarding this AfD, none of those Google News hits is really substantial in its coverage.

Hello, I have found you being a power Wikipedian. You have currently marked one of my edit as VANDALISM regarding the topic Icelandic Phallological Museum. As per my best knowledge, I couldn't been able to find any kind of VANDALISM I hav done in this topic as per WIKI rule of Vandalism. Even if you think it is one, I deservd a WARNING before labeled as VANDAL.
As it comes to my notification, My edit, as it was restored back to previous state, is again rolled back (& not by me). As of the Year of birth, 1915 borns are of age 93 by this year, as of my best concern (it was priorly 92).
So I seek your reply regarding this matter. I also request you to ask moderators to remove VANDALISM tag from this edit.
Expecting your reply to be positive to me & as soon as possible. Thank You,

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

I think the article is a lot better than it was when I nominated it for deletion. It shows significant coverage in reliable sources, and shows the role of the gallery in American art history. My comment to Appletrees was merely to explain how I made the decision to nominate the article for deletion. I didn't find any information, either in the article or on the internet, that led me to believe that this was anything other than a well-meaning local cornershop art gallery.

According to a discussion on the village pump (policy), Wikipedia is going to establish a new governance structure called the Sourcing Adjudication Board. I have not read the full text of the Arbitration Committee draft decision that proposes to establish this board, so I don't know whether it will be permanent or is only intended to resolve this dispute.

I've developed Abdera Archaeological Museum, Aegean Maritime Museum , Aiane Archaeological Museum etc to begin with and will gradually try to fill out all the other greek ones. Any help in expanding would be warmly appreciated. I've tagged them all also so you don't have to worry about that ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 12:49, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I've also proposed Liberian museum for a DYK. How does this sound: Did you know??

Thanks for letting me know but that is pretty annoying when somebody does that behind your back without telling you ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 16:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Ah I'm not really bothered just playing the poor guy. But yes the idea of it is quite an ignorant one although he is quite free to state any problems he has with them to me. I'll try to fill most of them out of the next few days. Most of them are likely to be highly interesting if developed enough ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 16:53, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

<aaaaannnd...outdent>Back to adminning. When you're ready, be absolutely sure to get Wizardman to nom - Take a look here. It is a high honor, and almost always a successful turn, to be noticed by the Wiz. As for "Old Man Fav-rah", I'm pretty sure he'll be playing at Lambeau by game 3. Call me a prophet, or a quack, or just plain intelligent, but there's no way he's retired. He'll be out there with a tennis-balled walker, and the cheese-covered fans will still lick him.

I have proposed a merger of the articles for the three middle schools of the Palo Alto Unified School District into the main article for the district. Discussion is here. I'm notifying everyone who was involved in the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School. Thanks, Darkspots ( talk) 14:42, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
I see that you brought it to AFD, which is appropriate if you believe it should be deleted but don't think it meets a speedy deletion criterion. I agree that it doesn't fit G1 (nonsense); but, I do think it falls under G3 as "blatant and obvious misinformation". It is also addressed by Wikipedia is not for something made up. I'll leave the speedy tag and let continued discussion continue rather than deleting it. — ERcheck ( talk) 04:37, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for working to create new articles for museums in NY. Please add Category:Museums in New York as well, so that your new articles show up in that category. I am continuing to add new listings. This is going to be a very long list! Jllm06 ( talk) 17:09, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

I've just created about 50 new national categories for museums in Africa but they now need filling. See Category:Museums in Africa. I've created a few stubs -some of these museums have their own websites and look very interesting, Good?? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 18:57, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

He was blocked in November but won't go away. Problem is that some of his edits are useful (such as the Gary Glitter ones) but others are just hopeless. He was blocked because it took too long to go through his huge numbers of edits and check them. He pops up every few days or so, and I block him on sight; he's most noticeable by his edits to TV actors and cars, always messing about with infoboxes. He seems to have improved, but needs to ask for unblocking on his sockmaster account. Given the multiple sockpuppetry since, I don't see it happening. -- Rodhull andemu 23:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Comment here so the interested parties can comment in one place. After learning that I'm not moving as soon as planned and another discussion with Keeper, I decided it's now or never. While I don't "need" the tools (no one does), I think I'd be able to help improve the project overall with them. I'm putting this here for discussion from those who offered a co-nom to see a) if each of you is still interested and b) to proceed. I answered the first three questions and am ready to answer whatever else comes at me. I'm on Eastern Standard Time and will be generally online this evening (dinner, commute excluded) to answer any of your questions. Definitely want to say thank you for each of your encouragement in this. Whether or not it passes, and I hope it does, I like knowing I have support of other editors/admins. TravellingCari the Busy Bee 19:56, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the fun barnstar. Where do they all come from?
I'm happy to add the categories to new listings. The Amelia museum just popped up at me. With large states it's helpful to have the lists eventually by region, so for now I'm adding Visitor attractions in Long Island, etc. Another option is to have Museums in Long Island as a subset, like Museums in NYC. Which do you think should be used for the long term categorizations in NY state? There will eventually (hopefully) be so many articles, but it's hard to see them all at once unless the List of museums in NY is used. I'm just trying to think logically for the long term benefit of the categories. Opinion? Jllm06 ( talk) 20:07, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

This is a request (for the purposes of you not violating the canvassing rules) for you to notify me of when you transclude your AfD, if you wouldn't mind. I have it watchlisted, but don't want to add my comments to it until you transclude. Fritzpoll ( talk) 03:46, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Regarding this AfD, none of those Google News hits is really substantial in its coverage. Heartland is definitely notable, and Jamie Lee Thurston might be notable (he charted a single in 2003, but he was on View 2 at the time), but I'm finding nothing to verify any of the article's content besides its roster.

I told ya. You were worried? If things keep going the way they are currently, you have done nothing short of making Wikipedia proud, and I'm personally glowing with regards to my own intuition. You rock, TCari. Looking forward to being able to undelete whatever you delete, or vise versa. :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 19:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
There was a rather clear keep consensus. I know secondary schools are generally kept, so I presumed the same for primaries. I, myself, would have voted Keep but ignored my own opinion and focused on consensus when closing. Feel free to relist if you disagree (it's the first I've ever closed)...... Dendodge ..

Hello, I have found you being a power Wikipedian. You have currently marked one of my edit as VANDALISM regarding the topic Icelandic Phallological Museum. As per my best knowledge, I couldn't been able to find any kind of VANDALISM I hav done in this topic as per WIKI rule of Vandalism. Even if you think it is one, I deservd a WARNING before labeled as VANDAL.
As it comes to my notification, My edit, as it was restored back to previous state, is again rolled back (& not by me). As of the Year of birth, 1915 borns are of age 93 by this year, as of my best concern (it was priorly 92).
So I seek your reply regarding this matter. I also request you to ask moderators to remove VANDALISM tag from this edit.
Expecting your reply to be positive to me & as soon as possible. Thank You,

New York City Meetup
|
In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).
We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.
In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.
You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.
Also, check out our regional US Wikimedia chapters blog
Wiki Northeast (and we're open to guest posts).

I think the article is a lot better than it was when I nominated it for deletion. It shows significant coverage in reliable sources, and shows the role of the gallery in American art history. My comment to Appletrees was merely to explain how I made the decision to nominate the article for deletion. I didn't find any information, either in the article or on the internet, that led me to believe that this was anything other than a well-meaning local cornershop art gallery.

According to a discussion on the village pump (policy), Wikipedia is going to establish a new governance structure called the Sourcing Adjudication Board. I have not read the full text of the Arbitration Committee draft decision that proposes to establish this board, so I don't know whether it will be permanent or is only intended to resolve this dispute.
In any case, I think that its authority should be limited to dealing with disputes that have legal consequences, such as alleged copyright violation. 69.140.152.55 ( talk) 02:20, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

You just deleted the article Artist Karaoke Series: Miley Cyrus under G4, but I don't think the tag applies. The AfD mostly revolved around it not yet being released, and so being a violation of WP:CRYSTALBALL. However, the release date was on May 20, 2008 so it shouldn't have the same failings that caused the AfD on the previous version. If you decide that it still does make G4, could you please also delete the talk page? Cheers. -- lifebaka ( Talk - Contribs) 14:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
