WHAT THE FUCK U R DOING? I MADE AN ARTICLE AND ALL U DO IS DELETE. YOU HAVE NO HEART. --SadDamMadDam 22:16, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Charming. It's so heartwarming to have my work acknowledged. GhostPirate 21:27, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

If you'd played by the rules...the ghost pirate rules...and just run away, none of this would be happening! But noooo, you had to go nuts and kill a guy! -Taco325i 16:45, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Delete?

Why was Robynn Ragland tagged for speedy deletion? In the template, it indicates Unremarkable people, groups, companies and web content. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not assert the importance or significance of its subject. But the article itself already included such an assertation at the time you added the tag? Robynn Ragland is a singer and songwriter, based primarily in the American midwest. Her work has appeared on soundtracks for television shows such as Dawson's Creek, MTV's The Real World, Wonderfalls, Wolf Lake, and many others seems like a pretty good indication this is more than just a vanity page. Anyhow, I'm going to keep massaging that article, and hopefully, whip it in to wiki shape, but if you are so inclined, I think the Speedy Delete tag can and should be removed. Thanks! Jenolen ^{speak it!} 21:27, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

I think the artist meets about four of those... especially the international touring. And her regional success in the Midwest -- combined with the national reach of her songs on all those TV shows -- easily makes her "notable" enough. No hard feelings, here, either. I was just surprised at the speed that the delete tag appeared. (I'm an editor who saves as he goes... Save, tweak, save, tweak, save, tweak... I don't want to lose a whole bunch of work thanks to Bill Gates inability to create a stable operating system and browser combo.)  :) Thanks, Jenolen ^{speak it!} 21:40, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

This is not reposted content. I just had an exchange with the most recent deleter and protector http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Can't_sleep,_clown_will_eat_me.

The exchange is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Can%27t_sleep%2C_clown_will_eat_me#Lil.27_Bush_page

Speedy Delete?

You have set my page for SPEEDY DELETE for being nonsensical. I believe this to be highly insensitive to sufferers of Seagal Choditis, many of whom I have met. This includes my wife, Paula who was diagnosed five years ago, since when I have been attempting to raise awareness for this harrowing disease.

Furthermore, it would seem as though YOUR page does in fact meet the criteria for speedy delete itself as it is unquestionably "Inflamatory" given the insensitive prejudices you have shown. Just because you have not heard of the subject which my page tackles, I should not be punished for your ignorance.—Preceding unsigned comment added by CDuck2 (talk • contribs)

Quit screwing around, or you'll get banned. GhostPirate 20:24, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Now who's mature? All I am trying to do is raise awareness and help my wife while you are on a mission to halt my sincere efforts to do good for my community. All you can come up with is "Stop screwing around". I am deeply insulted by this put down of my benevolence. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CDuck2 (talk • contribs)

Alright, lets make a deal. If you can prove to me, through some reliable source (An outside medical website, not Wikipedia), that this disease exists and Stephen Seagal had it, I will fully apologize and remove anything bad I said about you or your article. GhostPirate 20:39, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Ok, fine, i was just messing around...but hey! He has the BIGGEST HEAD I HAVE EVER SEEN, and I admire his ability...to standup straight! Check it out for yourself: http://www.superiorpics.com/hs/steven_seagal/main1.jpg

Anyway, you claim to be a libertarian, which employs a political philosophy maintaining that every person is the absolute owner of his or her own life and should be free to do whatever he wishes with his person or property. By attempting to delete my page, you gone against your own libertarian philosophies...raped!!—Preceding unsigned comment added by CDuck2 (talk • contribs)

Recent Vandalism

No problem, glad to help. -Advanced 08:38, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this article Dj Disco Wiz is on my Watchlist because it read like a major vanity piece with mostly myspace references. It had been marked for speedy deletion today and disappeared. Now, out of the blue, the person who it is about, recreated it. Can you check what went on with this article somehow? Ronbo76 22:22, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I was the editor who proposed it for deletion. Would you mind concurring or marking it for speedy deletion? Thanks, Ronbo76 22:27, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, I like reading the Wiki and hate when I come across obvious self-published stuff that is over-inflated. Ronbo76 22:33, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

You're not the only one. I've tagged so many articles like that for deletion that I've lost count. GhostPirate 22:35, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

This message is for Ronbo76 and friends. I have noticed that you and your friends have been nominating my page for deletion. I am not sure what your reasons are for these actions. I am mentioned in Wikipedia in several places, including Grand Master Caz, Hip-Hop History, Latin Hip-Hop and felt that I should have my own page. If you had done any reseach you would have found out who I am. You are obviouly not doing your job, if in fact it is your job. I hope that this will be the last time I have to contact you. The next time you interrupt my page, I will personally report you to Wikipedia and my lawyers for slander and defamation of character. If you do not know your history you have no business writing or editing for any historical facts. History has written who I am, not me. So, learn your history and leave me alone! -Dj Disco Wiz

Hi, GhostPirate! I gather that you're pretty new to the whole New Page Patrol thing. It can be a pretty daunting experience--I've heard one admin refer to it as the "firehose of crap". Here are a few tips:

1. When using templated messages on users' talk pages, be sure to preference them with subst: (e.g., {{subst:test2article}}). This will transclude the warning onto the page instead of linking back to the warning. (It's helpful for when the warning gets changed and to conserve system resources.)
2. Try not to feed the trolls; telling someone to knock it off or they'll get banned isn't helpful. (Nor is it accurate: there is a difference in the Wiki community between a block and a ban.) The best way is to stick to templated messages and if a user doesn't like it, have him or her go to
   deletion review
   or contact the administrator who deleted the page.

Anyway, let me know if you have any questions! As a NPP veteran, my other piece of advice is to spend time doing something else: having a multitude of projects really lessens the stress of dealing with page after page about some fifteen year old's band that he made up in math class. Cheers! -- Merope 17:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

"Firehose of crap", that's a good one. Thanks for the advice. GhostPirate 17:07, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I am the user you responded to about the blockage. I believe he is a lurker by his own admission to self-publishing in the message he put on my talkpage. I will stay off my page for at least one hour as I don't want him to see what I currently saying to some of the users who graciously responded to my help msg. Thank you. 76.172.122.218 02:33, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

I noticed some tagging you were doing at new pages patrol. We need help so thanks! Just wanted to drop you a message about one issue. When you tag an artricle for speedy deletion, it really needs to fall into a specific speedy deletion criteria, which are listed at

. There are a pretty short list of speedy deletion tags that are used often which tell you in their text the criteria they are used under (you can memorize them pretty quickly because their names tell you the criteria).

Here's a list of pretty much all of them: {{

16:27, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, I was kind of stuck on the template to use for that one. Well, thanks for the advice. GhostPirate 18:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

The article reappeared in a previously deleted file that with the exception of some references is the same as the other deleted file DJ Disco Wiz. Dj Disco Wiz concerns the person who threatened me with a lawsuit. Ronbo76 08:26, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, I'll see what I can do to help. GhostPirate 16:53, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Yea you deleted my page before I was done editing. If you waited more then 2 mins it would have been a full page. Now I have no way of adding it again. Thanks genious —The preceding

if you have some time over please help me wikify som of the articles about the artists in melodifestivalen 2007./matrx17

Hello.

Uhh, the article did have advertising, so I felt adding the spam tag was justified. Why isn't it?

GA KyleBrooks 17:06, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

OK, I will add the cleanup tag. Please keep the MS Frontpage article on your watchlist. KyleBrooks 17:13, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

The author of this article removed the speedy-delete tag that you put on it. I have re-tagged it, and warned the author on his talkpage. I hope I acted correctly. Walton monarchist89 17:13, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

spyphone

Hi GhostPirate,

Pls let me know what were the grounds of placing a speedy delete tag on Spyphone article? I will make changes once I can understand your position. The only thin I can think of is that I have put 2 external links in my article.. Shall I move them to another place?

Your wrote:

"the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article."

I can agree partly here. Yes the article talks about the company as its the only company which made such unique software product and therefore, I cannot describe any other companies here as they do not exist! The article does describe the topic very deeply, which helps people to understand more about it and does not force them in any way to buy products.

Thanks for your help in advance.

Regards, Edith

Hello

Sorry about deleting the speedy deletion tag and all =P It is only a mickey take page after all, I was just wondering how long it would last lol (Okay, I'm an asshole I admit it.)

Response to a post

" Are we talking about information criticizing, say, Hitler, or a living person who is controversial? I'm not really sure what you mean here, but it doesn't sound good. I've seen plenty of negative comments about George W. Bush on userpages (hell, we even have a userbox about it), but if you launched a string of complaints on Talk:George W. Bush, it would not be considered good form. GhostPirate 23:07, 2 February 2007 (UTC) "

Just because more people believe that Hitler was a "bad" person than, say, George Bush still doesn't make it any less factual. Wikipedia, as a form of encyclopedia, should not cater to a form of opinion-ism (if you will. :D) regardless if the opinion is held by many people. It still doesn't make it a fact.

I'm a political nut too, with a great disgust for the Bush administration but, at the end of the day, his record will stand a far greater chance of ruining his reputation than some fellow wikipedian posting crap like "bush is moron lolz!!!!1" Just a thought. Aceholiday 17:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree, and that was more or less what I was trying to say. Keeping a Neutral Point of View is the best way to do things in these cases. GhostPirate 18:37, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
