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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please remember to mark your edits as minor if (and only if) they genuinely are minor edits (see Help:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb is that only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.' Thank you. AngoraFish 木 20:40, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure why you put this here. Please clarify.--Auric (talk) 21:18, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Almost all your edits are tagged as 'minor', however the vast majority are not (see contribs and Help:Minor edit). Examples of edits which you have tagged as minor edits but which are not minor include your comment above, creating new pages, leaving warnings, adding content, changing titles and other significant edits. Per the above, "only an edit that consists solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearranging of text without modifying content should be flagged as a 'minor edit.'". AngoraFish 木 21:54, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

No, I meant what article. Besides, I use minor when creating new pages with material that is already present ie a bio is directly added to a category. The move is minor (rearranging of text without modifying content) so I tag it minor. Sometimes the tag is an error, since I have minor checked as a default and there is no way (that I know of) to change a tag once made. Most of my edits fall under Obvious factual errors and I mark them as such. --Auric (talk) 22:47, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

I'm so sorry for bringing this up here, i have no idea where else to look. I'm quite stuck and I really need help. I've been checking a lot of editorial pages, but arg, I'M STILL LOST!

I've wanted so badly to edit and help restore Bob Flanagan's page, I have a picture, permission from the photographer and everything, but I have NO idea whatsoever on how to add the image (I have a rough idea from all the tutorials I've, but nothing saying that I can and where!) and as I have a lot more information on him, I have no ability to work on it, due to time constraints and no one else who cares to help.

Also, his partner, Rose, had her page deleted, and there seems to be enough information on her floating around in places (including her own self-run page) that it can be put back up again. But again, I'm new at this and extremely lost!

I have a great amount of respect for Bob Flanagan, and I feel pretty terrible for not being able, by lack of experience and slight ignorance, to be capable of fixing it. It wouldn't take an exceptionally long period of time to fix either Ms. Rose's page or Mr. Flanagan's, just a little TLC, but if that's too much, no worries.

Thank you for reading... By the way: Love Canada, very beautiful country. If I could move out of the US, I'd move there most definitely. No Stahr (talk) 23:18, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I'm trying to mediate an edit war over the Galactus article here. Can you chime in with your two cents? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 00:07, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

An expert on what? Galactus? Well, neither am I. That's why I went over the conflicted passages, and gave my view on them, while conceding that whether some of the facts used as bases for them was not something I could give personal knowledge on. I have no way of knowing who is an "expert" or not, and indeed, WP isn't based on expertise, but reliable sources, so I just went down the article's Edit History to contact editors who have edited the article. Nightscream (talk) 00:37, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Um, you asked for my two cents. Don't be angry that I gave them. And you did come across as an expert. Sorry if I misjudged.--Auric (talk) 00:47, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

DEFAULTSORT

Thanks for your note. The trouble with the lifetime template is that the information in it is partially hidden, so it gets duplicated - see for example Herbert Winslow, or any of a couple of thousand other examples where there is (or was) a lifetime and one of the categories it generates or a DEFAULTSORT. This in turn leads to articles with inconsistent categories and conflicting DEFAULTSORTs. The benefit is that it is quicker to type, for setting up new articles, especially many of them. There is a subst only version "ltm" that can be used for this, {{subst:ltm|1909|1999|Bloggs, Fred}} of course it is one keystroke longer!

Book urls

Hi,

Regarding your edit here, is there any guidance on where to put the google book preview url? I would use the url parameter for the front page, but the the pages parameter also allows urls and would take you directly to that specific page. Just seems more intuitive to me, and would allow multiple links to different sets of pages if necessary.

Wandering Jew

Hi Auric! Can you please explain what this sentence means? ( 'The supposed presence of the Wandering Jew has occasionally been used as a pretext for searches of the Jewish Quarters'. ) Who was searching, why and when, and where? Why should the WJ have been needed as a pretext? Is there an example which can be cited of such a search, and which actally tells us anything about the Wandering Jew? Otherwise, I'm inclined to delete the sentence agan as it it does't seem to add anything to the article. With thanks,--Smerus (talk) 07:48, 11 December 2010 (UTC)

The source says it all. I can't be sure, but this was probably used to justify searches of Jewish homes, similar to modern day police justifying warrantless searches by saying that bin Laden had been spotted entering a house, ie
