Thanks for working on the transwiki to wikisource. Is it possible to hold off on transwiking lists and tables for the moment? I am trying to convince people that lists and tables that are supplements to articles on wikipedia should be kept on wikicommons and not wikisource. CSN 03:09, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Since I don't follow Wikisource at all, I would appreciate it if you could inform me when this is resolved (and, if it's decided not to keep these on Wikisource, which articles they used to be so I can see about getting them undeleted on Wikipedia). —

On second thought, go ahead and transwiki whatever you'd like. Things aren't moving any too fast over at Wikisource. Once everything is transwiki'd to Source it'll be easier to establish a clear policy for where all this stuff should be and then move it whereever it belongs. Thanks for waiting.

You dont think its a good idea? Ok thats cool. Supersaiyanplough|^(talk) 05:09, 20 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this page speedy deleted? There was a VfD. The decision of the VfD is at

It was

transwiki queue (this section is now obsolete, since the new CSD case for vfd'd-and-transwikied articles

took effect), and the talk page after it had been orphaned.

I do not recall whether the article was still tagged {{move to wikisource}} when I tagged it, and since I was performing neither the transwiki nor the deletion, I did not compare the article to the state it was in when it was vfd'd. If it was indeed different enough that the vfd should not apply, I suggest that you list it at

I updated an English Wikipedia link to anagoge to make it look at the wiktionary article but it isn't there yet. I'm contemplating undeleting the Wikipedia copy. Is there a delay in this kind of transwiki? --Tony Sidaway^Talk 00:36, 6 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Several of the speedy deletion tempaltes were recently edited to remove the transclusion of {{

The GamerWiki entry was removed from List of wikis and you referred to the GamerWiki page's deletion in June. There are other, similar, sites, listed on the List of wikis, and I would like to re-list it, but do not want it to just be deleted again. If there is policy being applied in this case, then others in the list should also be removed under the same criteria. Others in the list also have a page that I used as a template to describe the GamerWiki entry, so was confused as to why this was also deleted. -- Tyagi 00:17, 10 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There was no formal policy being applied, no; my removal was prompted by your rewrite of the article and

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I understand the reasoning that GamerWiki does not currently have the traffic, content, and Internet profile for the List of wikis. However, looking at similar sites to GamerWiki on the list, namely Gamingwiki and Encyclopedia Gamia, they have comparable rankings and levels of content. So I can either re-add GamerWiki to the list, but not create an article page for it, or we can look at cleaning through the list to remove those smaller sites that have been added. -- 20:32, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

My goal is not vandalism. What I did to ALinkToThePast was merely to make him aware, as I had tried, that the "cleanup" template didn't need to be at the top of pages because they were too vague. We are now in discussion over this, and are trying to reach a consensus. TheAlternateReality 20:24, 25 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I will stop adding the shadows of the empire project to the star wars films category. I changed the article itself to state that the project is the closest in star wars continuity to a movie, without actually being a movie. Sounds like a fair compromise, eh?

Please update your autovfd script; it's still leaving redlinks to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/whatever as the summaries on the afd daily logs. The appropriate line is

document.editform.wpSummary.value = 'Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/' + target + '';

in function autovfd(); it needs to change to

document.editform.wpSummary.value = 'Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/' + target + '';

Thank you. —
