Hi Cari! I have a new article up: National Shrine of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton – I got the idea of that from a redlink in List of museums in Maryland. This actually satisfies three of my WikiProjects: Museums, Christianity and Saints (a triple play!). Hope all is happy. Ecoleetage ( talk) 15:52, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I've totally rewritten
Bruce Castle from a stub to a Long Rambling Piece (and in a burst of vanity, timed it so
this edit would be
edit 100,000).
This is the third, and final part of my Lordship Lane triptych (along with The Mall Wood Green and Broadwater Farm), and has been the trickiest one to write. Because Bruce Castle is a distinctly dull building (architecturally, it's only really notable for being old), I've taken a Giano-horrifying approach and virtually ignored the architecture; instead, I've tried to write it as a chronological piece, focusing on the occupants of the house in the context of the social changes in the area. This has left it with some gaping holes; most notably that the architectural sections are weak (albeit mainly because there are no records of construction and the building isn't particularly distinguished).
Any comments, criticism, copyediting or rewriting gratefully received… – iride scent 00:02, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
Dear "Travellingcari",
I am writing this comment in response to your speedy delete of my article "Vale de Figueira". Today, I came to terms with the fact that you had deleted it and I wondered why. I went to your page, so that I could understand how to correctly ask for its restorage as I do strongly believe in its relevance.
So, first of all, I consider useful that you know why I wrote that article. It is about my village, Vale de Figueira, a parish in the district of Santarém, Portugal. I went to the Santarem article and, as expected, it had a list of its parishes. In order to make it more complete because it's about the history of a country and it is at anyone's interest, I decided to create the article "Vale de Figueira", making it a link of that page, being already listed there. To help me create this article, I based on one portuguese website
[1] with information about this ancient village, on another article of portuguese wikipedia
[2] and also on a portuguese book edited in 2001, named Cite error: There are <ref>
tags on this page without content in them (see the
help page)."Vale de Figueira, terra que os viu nascer", which in free translation may be called "Vale de Figueira, land that saw their birth" which has lots of information on this village's foundation, development, legends, famous places, etc.
Being it, I hope that you have in consideration all the explained above to restore my article, which soon I would like to rearrange with more relevant stuff.
I do look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Joaomsf89

Hi there, I was stalking some user talk pages and came upon a comment you made here: User_talk:Iridescent#RickK_Anti-Vandalism_Barnstar. You mentioned that you wanted an email with information about RickK or something to that effect? (Hey, I just realised that happened barely two days ago!) I was just wondering if you'd be able to share the email in any way or if you know somewhere else that contains information about it, as I've always wondered why exactly this RickK person is so famous on WP. If you prefer not to, then thanks anyway. :)
Thank you for your time :) -- Razor ICE 12:02, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Two questions re the article deletion: 1. If article has been already tagged for deletion is it useless expanding it, adding references 'cause it gonna be deleted in any case? 2. Is it really a violation to start an article if there are no references in English language but other languages?

So I know that I shouldn't think of good articleship as a big deal, but... wouldn't it be nice to be one of the relatively few IP addresses entitled to display a on its userpage? (I think only one other IP has started one from scratch, although many may have taken existing articles and improved them to good-article status. And yes, I have registered, but since I started this article as an IP, I'm going to finish it as an IP.)
Speaking of good articles, there are a bunch of items that need to be improved to WP:GA status that require a higher level of skill. This one comes to mind as being an especially timely topic. I know that in the grand scheme of things, WP:GA is not a big deal, but for some reason I think it to be important.... 69.140.152.55 ( talk) 03:00, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi, just to say I've merged this to English Qabalah because some people suggested it in the AfD and it seemed right to me. The AfD was affected by User:QaBobAllah who was found to be a sock of User:Ekajati, and others of his socks were involved in related discussions. Otherwise there was only one weak keep in the AfD the rest were deletes I think. Just thought I'd let you know I'd done it so it didn't seem like I was going over the head of your close. Hope you don't mind:) You were not to know about the sockmuppetry, we only really realised a bit later or something. Sticky Parkin 03:21, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, you recently closed the AfD discusssion on the above article through speedy deletion A7 because it does not state notability.

I just wanted to ask you to advise me if my understanding if the speedy deletion policy was wrong. -- Deadly∀ssassin 05:17, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi there
Just reading the whole 'my page was deleted help!" article.
The Deep Roots article that was deleted linked from the CBC Radio 2 page, and is used from that page to let listeners understand the new lineup of CBC Radio 2.
I'm not sure I understand how it didn't meet 'notability' requirements. It's a national CBC Canadian Radio Show, and has a large number of listeners a week across the country.
More importantly, as previously noted, it DOES link from a major CBC site with tons of similar pages, if you go to schedule.
Unfortunately, I'm not adept at haiku...I may be able to jot out a limerick
Deep Roots on Radio 2 A great article for me and for you It's sure relevant and the money's been spent So now, undeletion is all up to you.
OK! I rhymed 'you' with 'you. Mea Culpa
Anyway, I hope it can get undeleted. Truly. It'd be nice for listeners to have a wikipedia site that they can go to to find out more information about what the hell the program is.

Hi. I'm in the middle of an ambitious project to translate the full article from what was barely a start class!

THanks all, especially Durova as nom. I think this is my first semi-controversial AfD close. Glad it's apparently gone well. The fact that drama redirects to ANI is sad, but true. I read it to keep abreast of issues but I try to stay away from it. And Brew, yes, the wikibreak template is busted because I don't know the syntax.

I've put my re-writes back and kept the Time Magazine reference that you wanted to stay in.

RE: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lie Lie Lie
You mentioned "Merging or not is an editorial discussion". It comes up all the time in AfD's. I don't think most of the people discussing realize it should not be voiced. (But neither is WP:CRYSTAL and entire AfD's are decided on only that). For next time how should it be worded in the original AfD? Should an AfD explicitly say only "delete" or "keep" opinions will be considered? I am only asking because I would like to know as I have voiced "Merge" or "Redirect" in AfD discussions myself. Thanks Soundvisions1 ( talk) 01:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Why was this discussion closed so quickly? I'm a little concerned that a well-written article was changed after only 3 days of discussion into a re-direct to what is essentially a stub.

Following deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany_for_deletion/User:Orson20/Leon_Ousby, the page has been recreated in the same userspace by a new account, Apron Maxim ( talk · contribs). The original editor's user page has been "updated" by an IP was a recent history of vandalism ( 194.201.64.90 ( talk · contribs)). This article has seemed a little off from the beginning, and the recreation immediately after deletion doesn't help. Can you take a look? Thanks.

Hi Cari,
The discussion on Mark W. Smith and his book ( Official Handbook of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy) is closed, and I saw that the book can be moved to the author's article by an editor--so how do I go about doing that? Simply cut and paste? Thanks! Drmies ( talk) 02:36, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks! And don't worry about the delay--I was taking the easy way out by asking anyway, but sometimes WP policy confuses me. Thanks again, Drmies ( talk) 22:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I'm in the middle of an ambitious project to translate the full article from what was barely a start class! I hope to get it up to featured status afterwards, it should be a beautiful article once fully complete. If you could tackle a paragraph or two this would be much appreciated, whatever or whenever it takes your fancy. P.S. don't worry about the museum article I said about, somebody said the spanish wiki article was a copyvio. Blofeld of SPECTRE ( talk) 19:14, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry to hear that. Isn't most work though!! Blofeld of SPECTRE ( talk) 23:11, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Humph! I thought I would for sure get that one. It was only like 25 to 2 :-) -- brew crewer (yada, yada) 02:57, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Good close. Durova Charge! 04:34, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
THanks all, especially Durova as nom. I think this is my first semi-controversial AfD close. Glad it's apparently gone well. The fact that drama redirects to ANI is sad, but true. I read it to keep abreast of issues but I try to stay away from it. And Brew, yes, the wikibreak template is busted because I don't know the syntax. Keeper always made them for me and now that he's mostly gone, I'm on my own and end up with those, though I've had him make me a custom one for my next vacation. TravellingCari 12:02, 24 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Keeper! I'll save it with the other one for if I need to make another. And now I'm really gone :) TravellingCari 19:01, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

There are three articles at this discussion that have not yet been deleted.-- Grahame ( talk) 00:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I think you may have forgotten to remove the Lansing family AfD notice on the article and add the afd talk page message with regards to the outcome.-- Rockfang ( talk) 00:55, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Hey, out of curiosity, why did you delete the 'werewolf priest' entry?? I directed someone to the entry recently and it's gone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.172.166.36 ( talk • contribs) at 18:53, October 28, 2008; moved from User:Travellingcari by J.delanoy gabs adds at 19:43, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
could you help out at [3]. This question has come up before, and its time we actually did something definitive. DGG ( talk) 19:46, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Help:Minor edit A minor edit is a version that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Your minor edit reverted three of my edits, including my re-writes and consolidation of text!
I've put my re-writes back and kept the Time Magazine reference that you wanted to stay in. (I thought the reference was dubious in that it wasn't particularly relevant to the claim it was defending, not that Times Magazine in the 1930s was an unreliable source.) Thanks.

Hi Travellingcari. Thanks a lot for helping to restore the article Perumbadavam Sreedharan. The article had sufficient reliable sources. I don't know why A7 was applied to it. Anyway thanks again. Salih (talk) 18:57, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
RE: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lie Lie Lie
You mentioned "Merging or not is an editorial discussion". It comes up all the time in AfD's. I don't think most of the people discussing realize it should not be voiced. (But neither is WP:CRYSTAL and entire AfD's are decided on only that). For next time how should it be worded in the original AfD? Should an AfD explicitly say only "delete" or "keep" opinions will be considered? I am only asking because I would like to know as I have voiced "Merge" or "Redirect" in AfD discussions myself. Thanks Soundvisions1 ( talk) 01:16, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Why was this discussion closed so quickly? I'm a little concerned that a well-written article was changed after only 3 days of discussion into a re-direct to what is essentially a stub. Maybe I'm mistaken, but from what I can tell from Wikipedia:Guide to deletion, there's supposed to be 5 days of discussion. Is this able to be reviewed? KieferFL ( talk) 03:12, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Please explain your rationales for these two AfD closures. seresin ( ¡? ) 06:31, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
Can you please take a look at the contributions of User:Yeshuaherenow? They seem to be all related to Adi Da and have some POV issues. This probably requires some tactful statements and you seem far more tactful than I tend to be. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle ( talk) 15:36, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
