Message from Firewall re: "Entomopter"
Thanks for your help with communicating... I guess I'm lucky you checked back to your post on my Talk page to see my own note there. Now what happens to my first article? Does its status somehow change and get listed somewhere? I did a normal Wiipedia search on the title and it didn't show up. I got the following:
- Search
- From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
- You searched for "entomopter" [Index]
- Sorry, there were no exact matches to your query.
I will post some other things, but I want to make sure I am going about it correctly. Firrewall 2:18 EST, 16 January 2006

00:34, 12 December 2005 Lucky 6.9 (Deleted page) 00:34, 12 December 2005 Lucky 6.9 protected Alfred Vargas (Reposted nonsense, possible vandal target title)
Wiktionary
I know it says to contact you by email but I can't find your address.
Anyway, regarding the article I just started on "ethanol precipitation"; if that gets moved to Wiktionary, and someone typed "ethanol precipitation" into Wikipedia, as I did, would they get a link to the entry in Wiktionary (which would seem logical to me) or would they just be told there's no such article and offered to start one?

Some other guys ramblings...
An inquiry as to the deletion of the Alfred Vargas article. I would like an explaination for the deletion of the said article. It is neither spam nor nonesence. It is infact information on an Actor who is one of the characters in a popular fantasy series with an ever expanding wikipedia entry. It forms a sub-article for the Encantadia and Etheria articles.

Message from Wikipedia user "Acwfakefighting"
21:28, 2 January 2006 Lucky 6.9 deleted "ACW Fake Fighting" (NN fantasy wrestling league; one Google hit.)
I would appreciate if you could recover this page as I wasn't completed with it and would like to recover what I have written, at the very least. ACW Fake Fighting is not a fantasy wrestling league. It started as a small "amateur" professional wrestling company but has since expanded into other areas. Currently ACW Fake Fighting is in development on two different films for release in the area of Spring to Summer 2006. You also claimed that there is only 1 google hit for ACW Fake Fighting when there are 40, and I am attempting to use Wikipedia to expand that. My entry has done nothing to detract from this website and is a useful source of information for the growing number of people interested in ACW.
Like I said, at the very least you could recover the page so I can save what I wrote. I didn't save it to my computer because I didn't anticipate such a hasty and - in my opinion - unfair deletion.
- I've copied the page to User:Acwfakefighting for you as Lucky 6.9 is on a break. I have no opinion on whether or not this page should have been deleted.-gadfium 02:16, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

So can someone explain what the problem is and why everyone is just deleting things. This is really quite frustrating and I don't understand the rationale. Thankyou
A little help is then required ... Who is appointed judge and jury of article worthiness and the grey re dictionary term - I could develop a quality article on "stable of bitches". In fact, I had a discussion regarding the idea at our wikipedia group and we all agreed it was of importance.
Thank you
Just wanted to return the comment and encourage you to keep giving positive reinforcement to new users. Your message, in response to my first article, made me feel part of the Wiki community and really made me want to contribute more. Hopefully the same feeling is experienced by other new users. Thanks again for the kind words :) --Dylanhayward 22:11, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi Lucky!
Now that we've got that entire silly pedophilia business out of the way, I was wondering if I could ask for your opinion regarding my
Lucky - you removed my Adam Daly page, after suggesting I was trying to advertise my band (even though its not my band) and with speculation to its purpose. Could you then explain the purpose of a Ribena soft drink page?? My point is that although not completly academically essential, it is no more of an advertisment than a product listing. Why did you choose to delete my page when clearly there are other pages that fall astray of your supposed requirements. Please put my page back on - the Milton Keynes community aswell as Buckinghamshire and surrounding counties would be potential viewers of the page - are they not as important as people interested in Ribena? I would appreciate if you got back to me, as you seem to have failed on my last correspondance to you.
criteria it covers: cult figure - influential local person - thanks.

Hey Lucky, whats up? Happy Wikivacation! I hope you're enjoying it.
I see you enjoy trains just as much as I enjoy airplanes. You need to pay a visit to downtown Glendale, Arizona. There are no trains there, but I know a shop that sells all kinds of train models, even one with a Superman logo!
As you can read from my user page, Im huge on airplane models. My aim is to get at least one from each of the 5,000 airline companies currently on the air. I think I will be 95 before I get to that goal, through! LOL
Anyways, here's just a word to say hi. God bless you!

Lack of content shouldn't be something to be considered for instant deletion. Instant deletion should be things like spam and nonsense. The article I created was neither. That's my style, to start articles as stubs, so I can go back to them and expand them. I had to retype everything because you deleted it. Every featured article started out as a meager stub. I hope that you stop deleting articles on sight if they don't have a certain length. I am not trying to pick a fight with you, I just am giving constructive criticism.

To arms Comrades!BRING BACK ADAM DALY. What do I want to achieve from this nonsense? you ask. The answer is simple; it is the school holidays. I have just finished my primary schooling at parnell District School (on which i contributed a magnificently brilliant and intellectually stimulating article) and i am bored.
I hope to achieve a certain level of entertainment by engaging in dialogue with various people who find me annoying. My other holiday activies include getting kicked ot of Christian chat rooms, forming a communist newspaper and contributing various works to the rock throwing section on the Atheist vs God site (these have been accepted, i might add.)
I, Comrade Conrad-14 year old boy am just a very bored communist.
Incidentally, I am looking for potential comrades to join my communist movement. If anyone wishes to join me in a revolution and aid me in over-throwing the capitalist pigs they are most welcome. Articles for the Newspaper would be appreciated. Brave soldiers like comrade Adam Daly who perished for the cause must be acknowledged. Te Kowhai a Whakarongmai te Aroha.
Comrade Conrad-14 year old boy 00:00, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Hail!Thankyou Comrade! In spreading word of the impending revolution you have served the cause in the most magnificent of manners.
The time is drawing near. The worker is becoming restless. As one of the last living Neoplatonists I feel that it is my duty to ensure the downfall of capitalism. Comrade Adam Daly will not have perished in vain.
As for the christmas matter. Frankly comrade, i am disappointed. As the great Karl Marx once said "religon is the opiet of the masses.
Copies of the holy book must be obtained and distributed. The communist manifesto must be handed out to fellow comrades and bourgeois. This is essential if we are to bring down the filthy capitalist pigs.
From now on I will be referred to as Comrade Tsan Tzu.

blocksHi Lucky 6.9,
I noticed you've been carrying out quite a few indefinite blocks for user names that have few edits, none of them productive. Is that appropriate? Looking at
WP:BITE a newbie? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)]
- I hear you. NP patrol is a scary scary place. But I think it's worth it to always make the attempt to engage in dialog before blocking - at least to distinguish the clueless from the malicious. (Some editors, of course, make their maliciousness clear to begin with; I have no issue with blocking those accounts.) It might also be helpful if you left some pointers on the user's page to what now-deleted pages the user edited; since Special/contributions doesn't show edits to now-deleted pages, it can be hard for someone like me who comes along later to see *what* went on. Finally, I don't think there needs to be a rush to indefinitely block even kinda-bad new accounts: the really bad ones will just quickly create a new account anyway, so the benefits don't outweigh the harm to newbies caught up in the crossfire.—Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

ThanksThanks for the polite messages on my talk page, I really wasn't expecting that.
I was expecting some wiki-censor admin to be behind it all, had no idea who it was even.
When Bloodfetish.com was deleted, there wasn't even any edit history or the usual "view deleted edits" link that lets you know it's been deleted. Very odd. Maybe that's the norm for new articles but I have seen at other deletions it usually says "View deleted edits" at the top even if you can't see what's at the link.
O_o
Anyway as per what I said in the edit summary, gonna work on both. As you can see from google there's a lot of communites and stuff based around it but most of it's pretty covert. And some are complete wackos. Making a NPOV article could help a lot. There's even wacko nuts (mostly American I must add) who think they're vampires. --Mistress Selina Kyle (Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉) 02:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

User:Jingofetts has strong resemblance to blocked User:Maoririder. Actually, this user is more like the early Maoririder, rather than the later spastic Maoririder. (medication change??)

- Extensive use of tags, such as cleanup
- An interest in the Arthur TV show
- An interest in topics relating to Portland, Maine

Roman SoldierHappy new year to you too! Having had a look at this, I think you've done exactly the right thing. He certainly does seem to have been more trouble than he was worth, even if he had a handful of legitimate contributions. Furthermore, giving him the offer of unblocking if he said he'd behave himself was a good call, and I think his rude refusal says a load about his usefulness to the project.
How've things been going, anyway? I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a featured article nomination from you in a while. :) Ambi 07:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]
PS If you visit
CAT:CSD often, check the bottom of the talk page for instructions on removing the annoying notices that make you scroll down to see the article list. r3m0t talk 05:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)]
This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators.

- Roman Soldier, if you can maintain this attitude of civility and courtesy, I think that you would be welcome to continue your work here. It's all right to offer comments or constructive criticism—I've let other administrators know when I disapproved of their actions, and I have pushed for a couple to lose their administrative privileges. It was the hostility, the grudge, the vandalism that we had issues with, not your dissatisfaction. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:25, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

You're the only judge of that, but take it easy on yrslf, whether that means that you've earned a vacation or that you don't need to put up with one. When i realized how long i've been seeing yr sig & checked to see if you might be an admin, i also noticed how much slop you do delete! So my part in this was the kind of routine remedy (more eyeballs) that the WP method relies upon. And don't take my excessively voluminous comment as implicit criticism; i'm really, really compulsive, and gave this matter far more attention than it deserved for the sake of the project, for my own stupid reasons i guess. Tnx again.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...
- Well, I can't say I'd prefer the deletion process speeded up even further, but all this will surely have been discussed somewhere? I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone. No need to speed up anything really as far as I'm concerned. All the best, <KF> 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Tram stops
No more Wikipedia:Articles for deletion?
- Ummm, hi. We haven't interacted much, but I've often followed your exploits. I have to admit, the thought of things getting deleted faster makes me intensly uncomfortable. To be frank (while hopefully causing no offense) you have been known to push the edge of acceptable speedies a bit in the past, no?
- Please take into account this is coming from someone who regularly follows up on and AfDs when things are restored as "bad speedy" by, err, whomever. Of course, also bear in mind that I've not seen anything that looked wrong, it's just the thought that bothers me.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

blocksHi Lucky 6.9,
I noticed you've been carrying out quite a few indefinite blocks for user names that have few edits, none of them productive. Is that appropriate? Looking at
WP:BITE a newbie? —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:30, 27 December 2005 (UTC)]
- I hear you. NP patrol is a scary scary place. But I think it's worth it to always make the attempt to engage in dialog before blocking - at least to distinguish the clueless from the malicious. (Some editors, of course, make their maliciousness clear to begin with; I have no issue with blocking those accounts.) It might also be helpful if you left some pointers on the user's page to what now-deleted pages the user edited; since Special/contributions doesn't show edits to now-deleted pages, it can be hard for someone like me who comes along later to see *what* went on. Finally, I don't think there needs to be a rush to indefinitely block even kinda-bad new accounts: the really bad ones will just quickly create a new account anyway, so the benefits don't outweigh the harm to newbies caught up in the crossfire.—Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

ThanksThanks for the polite messages on my talk page, I really wasn't expecting that.
I was expecting some wiki-censor admin to be behind it all, had no idea who it was even.
When Bloodfetish.com was deleted, there wasn't even any edit history or the usual "view deleted edits" link that lets you know it's been deleted. Very odd. Maybe that's the norm for new articles but I have seen at other deletions it usually says "View deleted edits" at the top even if you can't see what's at the link.
O_o
Anyway as per what I said in the edit summary, gonna work on both. As you can see from google there's a lot of communites and stuff based around it but most of it's pretty covert. And some are complete wackos. Making a NPOV article could help a lot. There's even wacko nuts (mostly American I must add) who think they're vampires. --Mistress Selina Kyle (Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉) 02:52, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

Roman SoldierHappy new year to you too! Having had a look at this, I think you've done exactly the right thing. He certainly does seem to have been more trouble than he was worth, even if he had a handful of legitimate contributions. Furthermore, giving him the offer of unblocking if he said he'd behave himself was a good call, and I think his rude refusal says a load about his usefulness to the project.

I like it! How do I use it? Anything that will help stem the tide of nonsense would be welcome. - Lucky 6.9 05:07, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]
PS If you visit
CAT:CSD often, check the bottom of the talk page for instructions on removing the annoying notices that make you scroll down to see the article list. r3m0t talk 05:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)]
This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators.

- Roman Soldier, if you can maintain this attitude of civility and courtesy, I think that you would be welcome to continue your work here. It's all right to offer comments or constructive criticism—I've let other administrators know when I disapproved of their actions, and I have pushed for a couple to lose their administrative privileges.

You're the only judge of that, but take it easy on yrslf, whether that means that you've earned a vacation or that you don't need to put up with one. When i realized how long i've been seeing yr sig & checked to see if you might be an admin, i also noticed how much slop you do delete! So my part in this was the kind of routine remedy (more eyeballs) that the WP method relies upon. And don't take my excessively voluminous comment as implicit criticism; i'm really, really compulsive, and gave this matter far more attention than it deserved for the sake of the project, for my own stupid reasons i guess.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...
- Well, I can't say I'd prefer the deletion process speeded up even further, but all this will surely have been discussed somewhere? I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone. No need to speed up anything really as far as I'm concerned. All the best, <KF> 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

To be frank (while hopefully causing no offense) you have been known to push the edge of acceptable speedies a bit in the past, no?
- Please take into account this is coming from someone who regularly follows up on and AfDs when things are restored as "bad speedy" by, err, whomever. Of course, also bear in mind that I've not seen anything that looked wrong, it's just the thought that bothers me.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

blocksHi Lucky 6.9,
I noticed you've been carrying out quite a few indefinite blocks for user names that have few edits, none of them productive. Is that appropriate? Looking at
- I hear you. NP patrol is a scary scary place. But I think it's worth it to always make the attempt to engage in dialog before blocking - at least to distinguish the clueless from the malicious. (Some editors, of course, make their maliciousness clear to begin with; I have no issue with blocking those accounts.) It might also be helpful if you left some pointers on the user's page to what now-deleted pages the user edited; since Special/contributions doesn't show edits to now-deleted pages, it can be hard for someone like me who comes along later to see *what* went on. Finally, I don't think there needs to be a rush to indefinitely block even kinda-bad new accounts: the really bad ones will just quickly create a new account anyway, so the benefits don't outweigh the harm to newbies caught up in the crossfire.—Bunchofgrapes (talk) 04:55, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

When Bloodfetish.com was deleted, there wasn't even any edit history or the usual "view deleted edits" link that lets you know it's been deleted. Very odd. Maybe that's the norm for new articles but I have seen at other deletions it usually says "View deleted edits" at the top even if you can't see what's at the link.

Roman SoldierHappy new year to you too! Having had a look at this, I think you've done exactly the right thing. He certainly does seem to have been more trouble than he was worth, even if he had a handful of legitimate contributions. Furthermore, giving him the offer of unblocking if he said he'd behave himself was a good call, and I think his rude refusal says a load about his usefulness to the project.
How've things been going, anyway? I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a featured article nomination from you in a while. :) Ambi 07:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I like it! How do I use it? Anything that will help stem the tide of nonsense would be welcome. - Lucky 6.9 05:07, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]
PS If you visit
CAT:CSD often, check the bottom of the talk page for instructions on removing the annoying notices that make you scroll down to see the article list. r3m0t talk 05:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)]
This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators. Ghost of Garden State 06:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Roman Soldier, if you can maintain this attitude of civility and courtesy, I think that you would be welcome to continue your work here. It's all right to offer comments or constructive criticism—I've let other administrators know when I disapproved of their actions, and I have pushed for a couple to lose their administrative privileges. It was the hostility, the grudge, the vandalism that we had issues with, not your dissatisfaction. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:25, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

You're the only judge of that, but take it easy on yrslf, whether that means that you've earned a vacation or that you don't need to put up with one. When i realized how long i've been seeing yr sig & checked to see if you might be an admin, i also noticed how much slop you do delete! So my part in this was the kind of routine remedy (more eyeballs) that the WP method relies upon. And don't take my excessively voluminous comment as implicit criticism; i'm really, really compulsive, and gave this matter far more attention than it deserved for the sake of the project, for my own stupid reasons i guess. Tnx again.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...
- Well, I can't say I'd prefer the deletion process speeded up even further, but all this will surely have been discussed somewhere? I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone. No need to speed up anything really as far as I'm concerned. All the best, <KF> 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

- Ummm, hi. We haven't interacted much, but I've often followed your exploits. I have to admit, the thought of things getting deleted faster makes me intensly uncomfortable. To be frank (while hopefully causing no offense) you have been known to push the edge of acceptable speedies a bit in the past, no?
- Please take into account this is coming from someone who regularly follows up on and AfDs when things are restored as "bad speedy" by, err, whomever. Of course, also bear in mind that I've not seen anything that looked wrong, it's just the thought that bothers me.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:

Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.

Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Roman SoldierHappy new year to you too! Having had a look at this, I think you've done exactly the right thing. He certainly does seem to have been more trouble than he was worth, even if he had a handful of legitimate contributions. Furthermore, giving him the offer of unblocking if he said he'd behave himself was a good call, and I think his rude refusal says a load about his usefulness to the project.
How've things been going, anyway? I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a featured article nomination from you in a while. :) Ambi 07:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry; I am still very new to Wikepedia (less than a month) and I haven't yet gotten around to finding out how you want to handle external references to articles, especially uncopyrighted articles, that provide more detail than a Wikopedia article could ever hope to add to. normxxx 21:43, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
You should have a boilerplate explanation (with references) which you could provide to newbys on "speedy deletions."

I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]

This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...

I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.
Thanks

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

Anything referencing "Carlow Crab" is distinctive, and him for sure. I've been tracking him for about seven months now. He edits from an IP range of 63.19.128.0/17, which both Curps and I block regularly. Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 03:38, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hola Lucky. How's it going? I wanted to invite you to become a member of the new project about my pais. If you want to, just click there and list your name where it has the list of writers on the project. As you can see, the page is poorly formatted. I don't know how to build a country-box, but we'll work on it :) It would be a great honor to have you helping us as a member.
I hope I can see your name there soon! Thanks and God bless you!

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.
Thanks

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

Roman SoldierHappy new year to you too! Having had a look at this, I think you've done exactly the right thing. He certainly does seem to have been more trouble than he was worth, even if he had a handful of legitimate contributions. Furthermore, giving him the offer of unblocking if he said he'd behave himself was a good call, and I think his rude refusal says a load about his usefulness to the project.
How've things been going, anyway? I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a featured article nomination from you in a while. :) Ambi 07:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Sorry; I am still very new to Wikepedia (less than a month) and I haven't yet gotten around to finding out how you want to handle external references to articles, especially uncopyrighted articles, that provide more detail than a Wikopedia article could ever hope to add to. normxxx 21:43, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
You should have a boilerplate explanation (with references) which you could provide to newbys on "speedy deletions."
New years
Deletions
I like it! How do I use it? Anything that will help stem the tide of nonsense would be welcome. - Lucky 6.9 05:07, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]
PS If you visit
CAT:CSD often, check the bottom of the talk page for instructions on removing the annoying notices that make you scroll down to see the article list. r3m0t talk 05:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)]
This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators. Ghost of Garden State 06:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Roman Soldier, if you can maintain this attitude of civility and courtesy, I think that you would be welcome to continue your work here. It's all right to offer comments or constructive criticism—I've let other administrators know when I disapproved of their actions, and I have pushed for a couple to lose their administrative privileges. It was the hostility, the grudge, the vandalism that we had issues with, not your dissatisfaction. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:25, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

You're the only judge of that, but take it easy on yrslf, whether that means that you've earned a vacation or that you don't need to put up with one. When i realized how long i've been seeing yr sig & checked to see if you might be an admin, i also noticed how much slop you do delete! So my part in this was the kind of routine remedy (more eyeballs) that the WP method relies upon. And don't take my excessively voluminous comment as implicit criticism; i'm really, really compulsive, and gave this matter far more attention than it deserved for the sake of the project, for my own stupid reasons i guess. Tnx again.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...
- Well, I can't say I'd prefer the deletion process speeded up even further, but all this will surely have been discussed somewhere? I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone. No need to speed up anything really as far as I'm concerned. All the best, <KF> 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
Tram stops
No more Wikipedia:Articles for deletion?
- Ummm, hi. We haven't interacted much, but I've often followed your exploits. I have to admit, the thought of things getting deleted faster makes me intensly uncomfortable. To be frank (while hopefully causing no offense) you have been known to push the edge of acceptable speedies a bit in the past, no?
- Please take into account this is coming from someone who regularly follows up on and AfDs when things are restored as "bad speedy" by, err, whomever. Of course, also bear in mind that I've not seen anything that looked wrong, it's just the thought that bothers me.
- Hope that this has all been recieved in the spirit with which it was intended,

Roman SoldierHappy new year to you too! Having had a look at this, I think you've done exactly the right thing. He certainly does seem to have been more trouble than he was worth, even if he had a handful of legitimate contributions. Furthermore, giving him the offer of unblocking if he said he'd behave himself was a good call, and I think his rude refusal says a load about his usefulness to the project.
How've things been going, anyway? I was just thinking that I hadn't seen a featured article nomination from you in a while. :) Ambi 07:49, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]

This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...
- Well, I can't say I'd prefer the deletion process speeded up even further, but all this will surely have been discussed somewhere? I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone. No need to speed up anything really as far as I'm concerned. All the best, <KF> 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.
Thanks

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history).

- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

I didn't want you to get the wrong idea. :-) -- Essjay · Talk 11:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
West Virginia vandal
- Hi Lucky, and I hope you enjoy your wikibreak!
- This kid that's been bothering you is the "North Carolina vandal" (see Wikipedia:Long term abuse/North Carolina vandal for a writeup). Anything referencing "Carlow Crab" is distinctive, and him for sure. I've been tracking him for about seven months now. He edits from an IP range of 63.19.128.0/17, which both Curps and I block regularly. Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 03:38, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hola Lucky. How's it going? I wanted to invite you to become a member of the new project about my pais. If you want to, just click there and list your name where it has the list of writers on the project. As you can see, the page is poorly formatted. I don't know how to build a country-box, but we'll work on it :) It would be a great honor to have you helping us as a member.
I hope I can see your name there soon! Thanks and God bless you!

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.
Thanks

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

He certainly does seem to have been more trouble than he was worth, even if he had a handful of legitimate contributions. Furthermore, giving him the offer of unblocking if he said he'd behave himself was a good call, and I think his rude refusal says a load about his usefulness to the project.

Sorry; I am still very new to Wikepedia (less than a month) and I haven't yet gotten around to finding out how you want to handle external references to articles, especially uncopyrighted articles, that provide more detail than a Wikopedia article could ever hope to add to. normxxx 21:43, 2 January 2006 (UTC)
You should have a boilerplate explanation (with references) which you could provide to newbys on "speedy deletions."
New years
Deletions
I like it! How do I use it? Anything that will help stem the tide of nonsense would be welcome. - Lucky 6.9 05:07, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]
PS If you visit
CAT:CSD often, check the bottom of the talk page for instructions on removing the annoying notices that make you scroll down to see the article list. r3m0t talk 05:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)]
This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators. Ghost of Garden State 06:55, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
- Roman Soldier, if you can maintain this attitude of civility and courtesy, I think that you would be welcome to continue your work here. It's all right to offer comments or constructive criticism—I've let other administrators know when I disapproved of their actions, and I have pushed for a couple to lose their administrative privileges. It was the hostility, the grudge, the vandalism that we had issues with, not your dissatisfaction. — Knowledge Seeker দ 08:25, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

I found this 43-year-old's "lifetime of inspiration" to have led, in his poetizing since age 12, to one self-published & IMO blatantly self-indulgent volume of 162 pages carried by one (count them) E-tailer who is also a vanity publisher. If you really think yr search was more valid than mine on

You're the only judge of that, but take it easy on yrslf, whether that means that you've earned a vacation or that you don't need to put up with one. When i realized how long i've been seeing yr sig & checked to see if you might be an admin, i also noticed how much slop you do delete! So my part in this was the kind of routine remedy (more eyeballs) that the WP method relies upon. And don't take my excessively voluminous comment as implicit criticism; i'm really, really compulsive, and gave this matter far more attention than it deserved for the sake of the project, for my own stupid reasons i guess. Tnx again.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...
- Well, I can't say I'd prefer the deletion process speeded up even further, but all this will surely have been discussed somewhere? I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone. No need to speed up anything really as far as I'm concerned. All the best, <KF> 02:32, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

No more Wikipedia:Articles for deletion?
- Ummm, hi. We haven't interacted much, but I've often followed your exploits. I have to admit, the thought of things getting deleted faster makes me intensly uncomfortable. To be frank (while hopefully causing no offense) you have been known to push the edge of acceptable speedies a bit in the past, no?
- Please take into account this is coming from someone who regularly follows up on and AfDs when things are restored as "bad speedy" by, err, whomever. Of course, also bear in mind that I've not seen anything that looked wrong, it's just the thought that bothers me.

Sorry; I am still very new to Wikepedia (less than a month) and I haven't yet gotten around to finding out how you want to handle external references to articles, especially uncopyrighted articles, that provide more detail than a Wikopedia article could ever hope to add to. normxxx 21:43, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]
PS If you visit
CAT:CSD often, check the bottom of the talk page for instructions on removing the annoying notices that make you scroll down to see the article list. r3m0t talk 05:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)]
This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators.

Hi, any reason why you deleted Lenny Tatara ...
- Well, I can't say I'd prefer the deletion process speeded up even further, but all this will surely have been discussed somewhere? I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem.

The Suite Life
- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.
Thanks

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better.

I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

I have added it to your monobook.js. If you use a different theme, you will need to move the contents of User:Lucky 6.9/monobook.js to a different page (e.g. User:Lucky 6.9/cologneblue.js).
Press Ctrl+Refresh first to load the code into your browser. You should see a "Speedy" link appear at the bottom of your toolbox just as the page finishes loading. (The shortcut for it is alt-backtick, backtick being next to 1 on most keyboard). So for example:
- You follow a link to a bad article.
- Press alt-h, confirm no good version ever existed.
- Go to delete talk page if necessary (alt-t, alt-d, delete)
- Press alt-j, confirm no inwards links were created.
- Press alt-backtick, and click on the cell with the right criterion (e.g. "A7 Unremarkable people")
- You should know them well - the descriptions are only reminders
- The bottom-right cell sends you to CAT:CSD
- You can do this on the article page, the talk page, the history page, the whatlinkshere page, even the edit page
- Obviously, the cells are coloured with all the category reasons yellow, all the article reasons green, etc. I've used it for a day or two and the muscle memory, well, speeds things up a LOT.
- Wait until you are sent to ]
PS If you visit
CAT:CSD often, check the bottom of the talk page for instructions on removing the annoying notices that make you scroll down to see the article list. r3m0t talk 05:20, 3 January 2006 (UTC)]
This is the Ghost of Roman SoldierBecause of technical problems and bounty-hunting admins watching every new member who joins I choose this name.
When we first met, I was trying to work on an article by writing it and then saving it. This is the way any thinking person would write a paper. Start it, save it, work on it, save it. Forgive me for bringing this to Wikipedia.
As I worked on the article, you deleted it. I thought it was a mistake, so I tried working on it some more, and you deleted it. I can't believe this is Wikipedia policy to delete new articles on sight. I hope that this policy will one day be removed and welcomed by a policy allowing both new articles and saving. Remember that even the most brilliant featured articles were once stubs.
Alas, I just hope you understand why I and so many others have a problem with the way you administrate.
This is the very last you will be hearing from me in any way. In less than one week I will have much better things to do than play around on Wikipedia. I hope that you and everyone else will appriciate the good I brought Wikipedia. I hope Wikipedia will become a better place no matter who they choose as administrators.

- Roman Soldier, if you can maintain this attitude of civility and courtesy, I think that you would be welcome to continue your work here. It's all right to offer comments or constructive criticism—I've let other administrators know when I disapproved of their actions, and I have pushed for a couple to lose their administrative privileges.

I'm still concerned about newbies, who I think shouldn't be frightened off after their first edit.I was just googling "Lenny Tatara" and was going to add an external link (which includes some of his pictures), remove the interview and wikify the rest when I realized that the article had gone.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one).

Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.

I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase.

I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.

Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...

The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

- This kid that's been bothering you is the "North Carolina vandal" (see Wikipedia:Long term abuse/North Carolina vandal for a writeup). Anything referencing "Carlow Crab" is distinctive, and him for sure. I've been tracking him for about seven months now.

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hola Lucky. How's it going? I wanted to invite you to become a member of the new project about my pais. If you want to, just click there and list your name where it has the list of writers on the project. As you can see, the page is poorly formatted. I don't know how to build a country-box, but we'll work on it :) It would be a great honor to have you helping us as a member.
I hope I can see your name there soon! Thanks and God bless you!

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.
Thanks

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

- Hi Lucky, and I hope you enjoy your wikibreak!
- This kid that's been bothering you is the "North Carolina vandal" (see Wikipedia:Long term abuse/North Carolina vandal for a writeup). Anything referencing "Carlow Crab" is distinctive, and him for sure. I've been tracking him for about seven months now. He edits from an IP range of 63.19.128.0/17, which both Curps and I block regularly. Cheers! Antandrus (talk) 03:38, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

Lucky 6.9, a cursory look at deletion logs shows that you have deleted a little over 100 articles in about 9 hours, all with a reason of "null" and done with my delaid script. Using my delaid script, you can actually see "A7 || " added to the deletion summary before it presses the button, and instead "null || " was added. This is clearly a problem of delaid not working properly with IE/Opera/Safari/whatever, but the point is - are we to believe that you didn't notice this 100 times? I cannot see any particular suspicious deletions, but please refrain from using delaid until I fix the problem. Also, tell me what browser you are using, and try adding en.wikipedia.org to your "list of trusted sites" (if your browser has one). Then, delete one (deserving!) article and check the logs. r3m0t talk 04:47, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hola Lucky. How's it going? I wanted to invite you to become a member of the new project about my pais. If you want to, just click there and list your name where it has the list of writers on the project. As you can see, the page is poorly formatted. I don't know how to build a country-box, but we'll work on it :) It would be a great honor to have you helping us as a member.
I hope I can see your name there soon! Thanks and God bless you!

- In reply to your post on my userpage, I still don't understand why you deleted the article in the first place. As far as I know, when you deleted it, it had a summary written by myself, not one copied from tv.com. I'm pretty sure that I was the last one that had edited it. If someone edited it and put in copyright information, why didn't you just revert/change the article? Sorry, I'm just a little confused about the whole thing. - Nights Not End 18:39, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
Hello
Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as:

Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Vandalism?You sent me a message about vandalism - I wasn't doing anything of the sort and I don't understand what you are talking about. I'm making a template for which the words need to appear as a railway line name.
Examples are here:
Eastwood railway station, Sydney
Look at the second bottom box which contains "Northern Line" and the stations on that line. To do this requires a template of such a sort:
{{CityRailSydney/Northern Line}}
this puts the header in the box. The content is the same as the title, but it is necessary to distinguish. I didn't write this, I copied it and improved on it from someone else...
Please let me know if that's not right.

Renaming help
- Hi, I can't do the renaming myself because the new name is already occupied (by the content created by this user). The new name is the proper name in Vietnamese, but I'm not sure whether it should be used in the English version of Wikipedia. The beef I have with it right now is the user improperly performed an article renaming (i.e. create a new article with content copied from the old name, losing the edit history). DHN 07:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
- I don't think you understand what I meant to say: At the beginning, there was an article named "Cao Dai" [1] that has an extensive edit history. Someone comes along and create a wholly new article named "Cao Đài and 2. Rename "Cao Dai" to "Cao Đài" to preserve the edit history yet producing the same effect that the user wanted. Thanks.

Alt.tv.real-worldI talked to Zoe, and he said you deleted alt.tv.real-world? Why?
As I said to Zoe, I understand very well that the first user put up a joke article, but I was working on changing it. I was editing and saving as I was going, so the new changes should have been visable. Clearly, this article was not "vandalism" or "nonsense." Also, the changes being made after after I initially changed the first user's entry were minor spelling fixes. You said the only changes were "retyping the slogan." What does that even mean??? If you want a full article, I can wait until I'm completely finished before submitting it, but you shouldn't delete just it.
This article should be allowed resubmitted properly, as it is not non-notable. Alt.tv.simpsons and alt.romath have their own articles. If they have articles about their newsgroups, alt.tv.real-world should have one as well. Let alone the fact that alt.tv.real-world is one of the most notable newsgroups in Usenet history (as my article was going to point out), it is certainly more noteworthy than alt.tv.simpsons (which could be covered article about "The Simpsons," btw). I don't like how you just shoved it off as nonsense, but that's pretty discriminating.
I am still editing my article, (as it was on my screen when I left, and when I came back I found the saved version was deleted), and I plan on resubmitting it. Only this time I'll wait until I have the full article before saving it. If you still have a problem with it, it is clear you're discriminating.
I'm not sure which way to get this to you, so I am trying both. Apologies if you keep reading the same things from me. Also, I apologize if I am coming off gruff, but it was a shock to me that the article was deleted (before even being discussed!) in the first place...
No intentions on flaming you, I just felt it was unfair to delete my article. I understand you get bombarded with silly articles about web forums and discussion boards, which are like vanity articles on someone's little "hole in the corner of the web." However, I really felt alt.tv.real-world is more noteworthy (along the lines of the infamy of the alt.fan.karl-malden.nose group, [which has a Wikipedia entry, mind you] as we associate, but are not affiliated with them) due to its history and widespread fanbase. Wikipedia has several articles on Usenet, flamewars, and trolls, etc, and I thought a few articles (like mine) that actually provide examples would help fill in those topics a little better. Wavy G 06:23, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
I have no problem with deleting it, after all, I did list it for AfD, and it was pretty much nothing but forum posters' screen names, which is a pretty good argument for deletion in most cases. User:Zoe|(talk) 16:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
Spam?
I looked up the Social Bookmarking page, and there is a list of bookmarking sites such as Digg and delicious. Some have a long page of their own, such as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digg
Some have no page. I started a page for one site and you immediately deleted it as spam. How is a page about one company spam while a page about another company not spam?
In writing the article, I tried to follow the same form as the article on delicious. I will try again after I read the manual of style.
Thanks
