Alright so its been announced, can we bring the page back now? --Elven6 20:44, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi,

The feeling is mutual (although, to be honest, I can't recall that we've disagreed on much of anything, and if we did, I'm probably wrong!) As for the present case, bigotry almost always intersects/overlaps with stupidity. I can't decide which of these evil forces is most at work here; but, the matter seems headed for the proper outcome. One wonderful consequence of Wikipedia's global community is that hatred is much more readily exposed and condemned here than it is in this idiot's America. Best wishes, Xoloz 03:08, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your support with respect to my request for adminship, which successfully closed today with a count of 47 support, 1 oppose. If you ever see me doing anything that makes you less than pleased that you supported my request, I hope to hear about it from you. See you around Wikipedia!

You've deleted the above mentioned article because of lack of the references. Right now it's impossible to find any references, as the group hasn't been described anywhere apart from its own website. I can, however, swear that the info given is true as it's based on my own experiences. I kept it totally neutral so that it can't be considered a propaganda article or so.

Furthermore, I think that the described organization is absolutely worth this article. If there's an article on IMT sections in another countries, why not this one?

I object to your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Starkey International Institute for Household Management as delete. One, what BLP concern? If you mean the sentence "Some students, former Starkey employees, and several wealthy clients have criticized the program and its owner", this was cited to Warner's article at the bottom. If you don't consider him a reliable source, just remove the offending reference and sentence. Deleting the whole article is an overreaction. Two, as to notability, the institute received significant coverage from multiple, reliable sources. How does it not pass notability? In addition to the sources cited, there is [http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/article610820.ece this] article in The Times. Three, where's the consensus to delete? That debate did not produce consensus of any sort. Please restore the article and send it to a proper afd. Picaroon (t) 02:24, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

:Please see Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2007 November 8. If consensus determines I wrote an "attack page", I'll resign my adminship and leave the project. If your deletion is overturned, I'd appreciate an apology at the very least. Picaroon (t) 02:10, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

I [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AArticles_for_deletion%2FGeorge_Israel&diff=170101537&oldid=170088015 suggested] you withdraw this nomination, and consider being less hasty when nominating articles for deletion in future. I have some concerns as to how deletions work on the wikipedia. I have decided to leave what I intend to be civil notes for wikipedians when I have a concern about their action in deletions.

In this case it is your hastiness that triggered my concern. Since LaMenta3 was able to expand the article so quickly, if you did any kind of web search prior to your nomination I am afraid it fell short of what the rest of us should be able to expect of nominators. Nominators let us down when they nominate articles for deletion that are then quickly rescued.

I didn't realize you were an administrator when I made my original suggestion. That shouldn't really matter though, should it? As an administrator, perhaps I should expect you to try to measure up to a higher level of accountability, because you should be trying to set an example?

I think we may have participated in some of the same discussions in the past. But I don't remember any of the details. I have tried to be civil and tactful here. If you don't find this comment civil or tactful, I failed, and you can have my apology for that.

Duchess Marie was not the highest titled person in Mecklenburg, which was one area composed of two grand duchies (not duchies). Marie was a minor member of a grand ducal family. The highest titled people in Mecklenburg would have been the Grand Dukes of Mecklenburg-Strelitz and Mecklenburg-Schwerin and their wives, who were grand duchesses. "Consensus tends" doesn't mean a thing when the articles contain nothing which merits notability. Indeed, notability does not exist here. Please delete the article or tell me right away so I can start an AFD and get it out of the way. Please note Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Victoria Marina Cecilie of Prussia and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Prince Jean of Nassau. A family (Mecklenburg) may be notable as a whole, but individual members may not. This is the case with Duchess Marie. Charles 01:49, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi - just a friendly note to let you know that England's geography stubs now have separate templates for each county (all in the form CountyName-geo-stub). If you're going to make any more like the three Lowick stubs it would save a little work further down the line if you used them rather than England-geo-stub. It's no big deal, but I thought I'd point it out if you didn't know about the by-county templates. Cheers, Grutness...wha? 23:52, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

:Ah, that makes sense :) Yeah, I must admit to having done the same myself with cut & paste before now. To answer your question, no, I've never heard of Northumberlandshire, and I'm pretty sure it's never used; "-land" has a roughly similar meaning to "-shire", so it would be redundant. The only three counties with an "optional -shire" would be Devon/Devonshire, Dorset/Dorsetshire and Somerset/Somersetshire - and its archaic for the last two (it would be very rare to find either "Dorsetshire" or "Somersetshire" except in historical documents). A redirect for Devon at Devonshire-geo-stub might be useful, though. Grutness...wha? 00:18, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Hey, Peeps, it's that time of the month again (no not that time — get your mind out of the gutter): time for another monthly edition of the LGBT Project's Love Boat newsletter from your cruise director Miss Julie. So much has been happening this month and I just can't wait to tell you all about it!!!

{{clear}}

{| style="font-size: 90%;"

|-

| valign="top" |

Let's start with some good news: Alice and the project lost the bothersome sock puppet who had been disrupting many articles we monitor, and now most of us can edit in relative peace. Congratulations, Alice, for being able to come out of semi-retirement. Benjiboi, on the other hand, has gained an anonymous IP stalker who seems to be more Catholic than the Pope and who has a hard-on for the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence. We seem to have a sort of Yin and Yang thing going on here, which helps both to keep us in balance and on our toes .

Albus Dumbledore got outed this month, and was immediately adopted by our project. The international brouhaha surrounding this disclosure reached all the way to Wikiland, and his article was briefly locked due to homophobic vandalism (as well as well meaning editors who just couldn't believe that that nice man could possibly be gay). This is a wonderful article to add to your watchlist, and will surely give you hours of reverting fun on cold winter days.

On a more serious note, Fireplace has suggested a new article series about LGBT rights in the United States, state by state. This ambitious topic will surely require many editors and a lot of research, but has the potential to add further prestige to our already prestigious project.

Francis Bacon (not the new gay one, but the old gay one ... though they're actually both dead, now that I think about it) has also aroused passions here on Wikipedia, with editors opposing his sexuality being disclosed in his biography. The always helpful Haiduc has thoughtfully provided any number of sources, but it is slow going getting his point across. Anyone want to lend a hand?

And speaking of passions, Jack Kerouac has inflamed the senses once again with editors, including administrator Irishguy, mounting a spirited defense to keep him as heterosexual as possible for Wikipedia purposes. Why? I don't know. Perhaps some of you can drop by the talk page and ask your questions there. I feel certain a stimulating debate will ensue that will be enjoyed by all.

Did you know that one of our Featured articles, Lawrence v. Texas, lost its shiny gold star? That was a shocker. It has been suggested that we turn our attention to it in an effort to restore it to its former glory. I took a peek, and it does need our help badly. For our American editors, it would seem almost a civic duty to edit it (not that I'm hinting....).

Though it was far too intellectual a debate for a mere cruise director like myself to take part in, Intersexuality was certainly a hot topic a week or two ago. The thrust of the debate was over inclusion in our project. Lots of good editors had lots of good opinions. For those too lazy to check out the discussion, we decided to leave it out for now.

Peer review is, as always, short staffed and seemingly unloved. Wouldn't you feel better about yourself and the world in general if you took a few minutes to read one of the listed articles and offer some helpful advice? I know I'd feel better if you did.

| valign="top" |

The article LGBT movements in the United States certainly raised eyebrows last week, especially when it was discovered that copyrighted content had been added to our article. Tragedy was averted at the last minute, though, when the original hosts of the article where the material had been pilfered agreed to make it free to everyone. Our thanks to them, whoever they are. Busy Bee that I am, I haven't had time to read it, but I'm sure it's sensational.

Lesbian pulp fiction (a genre close to my heart, I must confess) writer Ann Bannon has decided to spice up the featured articles candidates list this month. Why not drop by and make your opinion heard? Joining her in this lofty aspiration are the articles But I'm a Cheerleader and Conversion therapy. I'm sure their main editors would welcome any comments (well, helpful ones, anyway) on the talk pages or the FAC discussions. And lest we forget, the List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sd-Si became a Featured list!! Rah rah, siskumbah! Go, team, GO!!!!

Not content to run for Best Actress, plucky Bannon won a Best supporting actress Oscar... whoops, I meant to say Ann is also getting more than her share of womanly attention on the Good Article list. Joining her on this exalted plane are Freddy Mercury, Waylon Smithers and Lance Bass. Good articles indeed, and the last one mentioned just goes to show that one needn't admire the subject of an article to appreciate the effort put into making him worthwhile reading. What on earth Britney ever saw in him I'll never know. Truly a riddle cloaked in an enigma and wrapped around a puzzle.

Though I may not be the first, let me extend a warm, LGBT Love Boat welcome to the 12 new members who joined us in October: Jliberty, JockCub360, ChristopherEdwards, Desiderius82, Zlrussell, Kelsied, BeardedWoof, Mujerado, Tyrfing, Fabgurrl, Redl@nds597198, and decafdyke! Whatever you choose to do here, I feel sure that your contributions will enhance our project to no end. And if they don't...well, let's just say that I'm not shy.

On a personal note, your already overworked cruise director is being cyberly whipped almost daily by Nemissimo, who desperately wants to get the German BDSM translation copy edited and used as a replacement for the current one. It's such a ... err, stimulating topic that I am sure many of you will want to join the copy editing fun. Jump right in, folks! It's so lonely copy editing it all by my lonesome!

A little birdie just whispered in my ear that our noble collaboration project was delisted from the Community Portal due to inactivity. When asked how this scandalous turn of events could have occurred, the answer I received was "we suck at stuff like that". Well. In the first place, I disagree that sucking should be considered a negative, but to each his or her own. In the second place, I have full confidence that we can and will collaborate with other projects in the future. So let's not view this as a setback (even though it is), but rather a challenge to improve (and good Lord, I sound almost Wikipedian!).

Lastly, the holidays are rapidly approaching. Our American cousins are currently getting ready to slaughter masses of poultry in an effort to show their gratitude and generally peaceful demeanor, and those of the Canadian persuasion, trendsetters that they are, celebrated a bit early this year. I'm sure all us foreigners will join together in wishing them all a very happy Thanksgiving on their respective holidays, both already celebrated and forthcoming... though I would hope somebody would enlighten me as to why they don't celebrate it on the same day. I was awake all last night trying to figure that one out.

|}

-----

In the spirit of this peculiarly North American holiday, let me take a moment to thank all of our editors for their contributions to this project. It's people like you who make people like me...well, a "people person"! May all your Wiki days be bright, and may your Love Boat never turn into a Poseidon.

Kisses,

Miss Julie

This article was deleted because I didnt not assert its importance. Well the artist has worked with famous Dr. Dre protoge Knoc-Turn'al. His first single is actually with Knoc-Turn'al. This artist has opened for several larger artists in the DFW area, most notable from the DSR group and Knoc-Turn'al at a concert at Joe Pool Lake in Arlington, Texas. I also noticed i was not the first person to create an artice about this artist, which to me says something as well. The artists popularity is rising at an exponential rate, and his debut album due out in the next few months is supposed to change the way people perceive rappers from texas

Hi. I think this is an article on a valid subject, so I've rewritten it from scratch. It's no longer the dreadful, confused mess you rightly put up for deletion and it now has sourcing. Would you mind taking a look at the new version and consider withdrawing the AfD nomination since I believe the page is now acceptable by Wiki standards? Cheers. --Folantin 12:28, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hello! Thanks you for deleting my hard work and time, I apologize if this article may have seemed as a “attack page” but it wasn’t, if you looked at the citations you would have seen that “Patrick” and five other assailants were involved in a white separatist gang that was planning to burn down Hunters Brooke. Also, if this is the state worst residential arson fire then I find it imperative that the article is restored.

Hi, Thanks for your reply.

How come I missed an AFD or any part of the process to delete the article ? It is a shame that the ability to discuss the issue was not given. In any case the guy is notable. Very much so. He uses several names (this is why when you search on only 1 version you will find less material) , he was involve in 2 (not 1) cases in which ISM activists were killed by IDF soldiers and he is notable for other issues as well Please recreate the article, including the photo (which to this day is on his own web site) . Thanks. . still waiting for your reply as I can not find any record for discussion about this AFD or delete of the article. Please reconstruct the article and nominate it for AFD as it should have been. Thanks. Zeq (talk) 05:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

You say it's vanity, but how is it vanity when you look for [http://www.discogs.com/artist/Meagashira him here?]. I ensure you I am not Eugene van Brakel.

:WP:MUSIC states that an artist must be played on radio (Has been placed in rotation nationally by any major radio network.) a lot to be notable:

::Again, the 9th release in this series featured a huge hit, this time by his alter ego ‘Project Omeaga’, with ‘Prednison-Attack’. Both loved and hated at the same time, this track must have been the most airplayed hardcore track of 2003.

:Perhaps you do, perhaps you don't know that in the Netherlands a lot of hardcore is played.

I've found the publication date. It's 1921, so it's not under copyright. The source is Milton Bates's Wallace Stevens: A Mythology of Self. Also there's confirmation in that the poem appears in the Librivox edition of Stevens's public domain works. Normally I have this information when I post a poem/commentary to Wikipedia, but I was at my office and away from my books when I did this one. I put up an 'inuse' flag, but evidently I was too slow getting back. Could the page be returned now, please? Rats (talk) 16:41, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed that you placed a deletion tag on the article citing that it did not have any source. I addressed your concerns but just because an article stub did not have any sources does not constitute a deletion tag. I was just wondering why you placed the deletion tag on the article where there were better templates to add such as:

{{unreferenced}}

Hi Carlos, love your userpage description, it's gets right to the point. I was wondering why you agree with keep and salt, that was suggested about the Lizz Robbins page. I'm not quite sure what salt means, still learning. Just a backstory, someone created a page and I tried to edit it, but was not given a chance to do so nor has anyone else. I feel like it's become a personal thing. Any opinions or advice would be greatly appreciated Knicksfan4ever (talk) 17:07, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

I don't think I'm protesting, per se, but asking for a better reason why you deleted BAMF. You say that it had no links, but I last recall there being 2 links on the page. It has been a while, so I'm not sure. could you clarify please? Also, you referenced CSD G6, but I think that there might be some controversy over the deletion, because I have mentioned that the page does (anecdotally) help reduce spam on the Bamf page. comments? McKay (talk) 19:22, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

:Hmm, the shampoo link must have been newer, the acronym used to link to Dane Cook, as he is reportedly the one who coined the term. There was also a link to Bamf as like a see also, or something. So, those are the two links. See, the Bamf article has been vandalized several times with references to the acronym, and I think that having the BAMF article hatnote at the top, people saw that the content was there, and left Bamf alone (more).

Hello. I'm a beginner of wikipedia. May you help me?

Anti-Americanism. i find some edit is wrong.

but i can't edit. article protected.

in fornt of page, "unregistered or newly registered users is currently disabled"

i'm a new user.

i found you can edit this page.

so may you help me?

"In South Korea, two junior high school students were killed by American military personnel in a traffic accident at the final stage of a presidential election in 2002. As a result, the Korean public opinion was enraged and Roh Moo-hyun, who advocated anti-Americanism, was elected President. President Roh Moo-Hyun and his administration considerably weakened the alliance of the United States and South Korea.[39] Also, the Iraq War and foreign policy of America was invoked as rationales for inciting negative attitudes towards America in South Korea[citation needed]. In 2007 anti-Americanism spreads rapidly. [40]"

in this, "In 2007 anti-Americanism spreads rapidly. [40]"

[40] source is "rape of okinawa". so not relation with south korea.

it is obvious WRONG.

must move to japan relation sentence.

i think this article need rewrite or clean.

addition,

As a result, the Korean public opinion was enraged and Roh Moo-hyun, who advocated anti-Americanism, was elected President.

>> this is lie.

President Roh Moo-Hyun and his administration considerably weakened the alliance of the United States and South Korea.[39]

>> this is lie. given news[39] never metioned.

Also, the Iraq War and foreign policy of America was invoked as rationales for inciting negative attitudes towards America in South Korea[citation needed].

>> this is uncreditible. please, attach [citation needed].

In 2007 anti-Americanism spreads rapidly. [40]

>> this is japanese relation. must move to.

Quelle Suprise! King James is a Queen!

Our dear Haiduc, never a stranger to controversy, recently decided to delve into the wardrobe of the British Monarchy, and what did he discover? King James had more than appreciative eyes for strapping young men! Naturally, Haiduc felt the need to share this news with the community, but instead of being praised for his scholarship, he was reviled. In fact, one rabid heterocentrist even rummaged around in his own wardrobe until he found an old pair of socks to play with. All seemed lost until astute editor Jeffpw noticed some odd postings and did some sleuthing of his own. The socks were uncovered, the Wicked Witch was melted and readers the world over were able to learn that Good King James regularly ordered tube steak from the menu of the day. Thank you, Haiduc! Thank you, Jeff! And let Miss Julie add (for readers who might not know) that tube steak tastes just like chicken!

It's Britney, Bitch!

Well, maybe it's not Miss Thang, herself, but it's the next best thing: Chris Crocker! he stirs up just about as much controversy as his idol does, even here on Wikipedia. Though it's all a bit of a muddle, one of our editors hopes you can drop by the talk page and leave a message of hope for those battling the forces of obstructionism in that little corner of the Wiki World. It is so hard to spread enlightenment. As Miss Parker herself said, "You can lead a whore to culture, but you can't make her think".

Game show for nerds

Wallowing in cash from the latest [http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate beg-a-thon], the powers-that-be have decided to sponser a little contest here to improve the articles, with a Grand prize of $100. Yeah. Just enough for a Burger King dinner for the family. Still, the thought is nice and the goal is noble, so we should support it. Our little Queer beehive has taken a look at what's on offer, and both the Greek Traditionalists and Daughters of Bilitis are well represented. The ever useful SatyrTN has made a little list, which can be found here (if that malignant bot hasn't archived it already, that is). So find a pal, roll up your sleeves and dive right in. Let's show this Encyclopedia just what Queers with firecrackers up their....err, I mean, let's show the others what we can do.

Jón Þór Birgisson

I can't pronounce his name, but he's awfully cute, he's deliciously foreign, and best of all...he's GAY! But he won't be for long, if certain users have their way. A concerted effort has been under way for a while now, designed to neuter poor Jon (pretend I put a little accent thingy over that O) and make him into a sort of rockin' Ken doll. So please watchlist this hunka man, and keep him queer! If anybody questions you, tell them "Miss Julie sent me".

Everybody loves a sequel

Readers not afflicted with Alzheimer's will remember that last month we had a little story about Alice and her harasser. That proved so popular that we bring you the sequel: Benjiboi and his stalker. After a chance meeting at the Michael Lucas article, this anonymous user took a shine to our Benjiboi, and has been showering him with attention on virtually every board on Wikipedia. Flattered though he is, Benjiboi finds the attention a bit distracting, and administrators have been seeking various remedies for this. It has proven difficult, as the stalker has an IP address that changes quicker than Superman in a telephone booth. So perhaps some of you would like to watchlist Benjiboi's page, and lend a hand if you see some love letters from an 11 digit friend. I was actually thinking we should get Alice's harasser and Benjiboi's stalker together. Then we could have another sequel, sort of like Freddy vs. Jason. Any bets as to who would win??

Not quite the second coming, but special just the same

Let me be the first to give a warm, wet, Love Boat kiss (though not with tongue) to our newest Project members: Jacksinterweb, Cleduc, Pigman, Becksguy and Iamandrewrice. Even in the month of our Saviour's birth, your popping into our Wikipedian lives is a blessed event indeed. As Jesus Himself said, "Live long and prosper". He did say that, didn't he? I think he said it. In any event, if he was standing next to me now, I'm sure he'd say it, and add, "Happy homo editing!"

Battle of the Wikipedia Stars!

Indomitable Ann Bannon is holding her own in Wikipedia's answer to American Idol: The Featured Article candidate list! For four feverish weeks, she has mastered the challenges and not been eliminated from the competition. Drop by the FAC page and show Ann you love her....or give her the hook (I'm not supposed to tell you how to vote). Giving our plucky Ann reason to hope is the recent promotion of List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: Sa-Sc. If Miss Julie has her way, we will have the entire alphabet of Queerdom Featured here on Wikipedia soon! And I would be remiss if I did not give a warm, Lesbian salute to our own Belovedfreak, who showed Wikipedia with But I'm a Cheerleader that even pom poms are no protection from the Love that dare not speak its name, and got a gold star for her efforts.

Climbing the Wikipedia career ladder is User: Tim1965, who has not only written, but is now promoting Reel Affirmations to Good article status. Best of luck, Tim, and remember: there are no small parts, only small actors. We're sure you'll be trading that green circle for a gold star soon (assuming you get the green in the first place!).

Santa needs elves

Yes, I know: packages need buying, trees need trimming, egg nog needs drinking. The holidays make many demands on our time. It's ...well, it's a bitch, is what it is. So I wouldn't blame you for skipping this little section and putting off my request until next year. But...think of the children. Our future. They need quality information about the homosexual "lifestyle" if we are to indoctrinate them properly. That's why I am asking you to drop by our Peer review area and give your meaning as to the efforts of your fellow gay Wikipedians. And think: in this season of kindness and good will to all, isn't it nice that I am pointing you to someplace where you can (in a Wikiloving way, of course) rip someone a new asshole? Think about it...and those children with their shiny, bright eyes, thanking you for contributing to their future.

Even more festively, consider joining in on the deletion discussions of our favorite articles. Here you can bandy about such words as "homophobia", "Right-wing Christian agenda" and my personal favorite, "just who do you think you're pushing around?!?!?". If you play your cards right, there might even be an extra present under the tree for you. :-D

Urgent Christmas appeal

Tovojolo asked me to ask you to edit Elizabeth Bishop as part of the Collaboration Project. She's an old dead poet (Miss Bishop, not Tovojolo. I've never actually met Tovojolo. She's probably very young and attractive. Maybe somebody should ask if she's single), but she was a flaming homosexual long before most of us had even been conceived, so we owe her some respect. Tovojolo actually asked me for the last newsletter, but Miss Julie forgot. Bad Miss Julie. She was so busy boosting morale it just slipped right by her. Nemissimo, maybe you need to crack that whip again to get Julie back in line.

Surrender, Dorothy!!!!!!!

Friend of Dorothy has attracted the attention of a group of....the more senior elements of our gay society. They disagree with our thesis that Saint Judy was the possible source of the term, and demand we change the article to reflect their contention that Dorothy Parker was the origin. The problem is, their source didn't check out. So we agreed to disagree. Well, we at the project did. They got kinda mad at us, said unkind things, and started edit warring. Though they are old, they are certainly quick, and could revert the article faster than my nimble fingers could press the undo button. To quote the divine Miss Parker, every time I saw the article on my watchlist, I thought to myself, "What fresh hell is this?". The page was protected by sympathetic administrators, but keeping an eye on it will keep Dorothy safe from future Wicked Witches of the West or East.

Ambrosia

Our dear Benjiboi has been busy indeed, lately. He recently made fruit salad out of Fruit, turning a once nasty word into a damn good article, and saving it from deletion! Congratulations, Benjiboi! I hear he has turned his attention from fruit to poultry now. Before he is through, he will have turned every major food group gay on Wikipedia!

Christmas came early

Yes, indeed! Valued administrator WJBscribe was raised out of the mire of mid-level management and placed squarely into the Pantheon of Bureaucracy! And Miss Julie is just too proud of him not to mention that he got the most support votes in the history of Wikipedia! Congratulations, WJB! We know you will not prove the Peter Principle correct!

You!

Yes, you! It's you who make this project shine! It's you who make Wikipedia such a valuable resource for all humanity! And it's you who make Miss Julie's dull life just a little bit better. So I want to take this moment to thank each and every one of you for all you do here. Merry Christmas, everybody! Happy Hanukkah! Festive Kwanzaa! Delirious Dong Zhi! Delicious Diwali! And for our oppressed Iranian brothers and sisters, I wish you a safe and joyous Yalda. And if I didn't mention your favorite December holiday, well, it's because I feel it's so special I should just keep it between you and me. Always remember: You light up my life!

May we all have a joyous holiday season, and a safe, healthy, happy and prosperous 2008.

With love from Miss Julie

Hi, I see you deleted Saltash Tunnel. The original author of this article (a new editor) was not informed of its candidacy for speedy deletion, neither were members of the relevant Cornwall Wikiproject, where its creation had been announced together with a request from the original author for work to be done on it. Could you reinstate it please to allow editors to work on it? DuncanHill 12:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

:I have now recreated the article, with a little more context, and the appropriate cats and stubs. DuncanHill 14:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

::Thank you for your message. There is an debate which may interest you at Wikipedia:Village_pump_%28miscellaneous%29#Overly_high_standards_for_new_articles.3F. I remain concerned at the failure to notify the original creator or the appropriate wikiproject of the speedying. DuncanHill 18:47, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

:I found this comment highly offensive and unecessary "creating an article with no content other than some templates is nothing approaching high standards; from context do we know it was a tunnel, a person's name, a public house, a town, a farm, or a joke? It is not incumbent upon anyone to notify anyone about a speedy deletion, first; second, just because a wikiproject "claims" an article, it does not WP:OWN it; and third, if wikiproject Cornwall is in habit of filling in its missing spaces by adding articles that consist of nothing but two templates as above it is seriously amiss and way out of line of other wikiprojects. Carlossuarez46 18:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)" The original article was created by a new editor with very little experience, I believe that WP:BITE is worth bearing in mind when dealing with contributions from new editors. The new editor, obviously aware that the article needed work, approached an appropriate wikiproject to request other editors contribute, I believe that this displays good faith on his part, as well as a willingness to collaborate. As to the Wikiproject, it is entirely untrue to allege that "Wikiproject Cornwall fills in its missing spaces by adding articles that consist of nothing but two templates". The wikiproject is not claiming "ownership" of the article - but when an editor invites a wikiproject to improve an article he created it is good manners to invite that project to participate in a deletion process. I am sorry that you do not think it appropriate to invite contributions from wikiprojects, or to invite an original good-faith author to expand his stub. DuncanHill 18:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

::I do not understand your last comment at my talk page. The Cornwall Wikiproject was never given the opportunity to comment on the speedy, as whoever tagged the article for speedy did not bother telling anyone (and the page is on my watchlist, and I never saw the tag). The original editor entered the article as "needing attention" at the wikiproject - the speedying prevented attention being given. I still say - you should give more consideration to new editors, who may well be driven away by speedy deletions of articles they have created, especially when no-one has the common courtesy to explain what is happening to them. DuncanHill 19:10, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Hi there,

You deleted my article on the Scottish band "Set The Tone" on the grounds of "Article about a band that does not assert significance".

I'd appreciate it if you could let me know the minimum I could put on that page in order to avoid deletion as a result of this.

At the time of writing I had been reading the page on "Love and Money", another Scottish band which already had a link to "Set The Tone", but which took you to the wrong "Set The Tone". I basically put up a bare minimum while I tried, through MySpace, to get some information from the former drummer of Set The Tone, Kenny Hyslop. While I haven't had much of a response from Kenny, he is well known in drumming circles for his experience in other bands including Simple Minds. In addition Set The Tone had two singles that reached numbers 62 and 67 of the UK top 100 charts in 1983.

I'd like to be able to build up some more detail on the band but it hasn't helped that the page has been deleted! Of course it may be that I just started it too early, but I would like to add the above information, and would appreciate it if, first of all, you could let me know if that would be enough to be going on with in order to avoid the page being deleted again, and secondly, if you could reinstate the page or provide me with the content I left there.

Thanks a lot.

John

--Jgmccabe (talk) 22:55, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I now believe I have enough information on Set The Tone to make a page that is useful. For instance I have a couple of websites, including e.g. http://www.chartstats.com/artistinfo.php?id=3700 that provide details of Set The Tone's singles entries; I also know Kenny Hyslop started Set The Tone with Bobby Paterson who was in Love and Money and also in Primal Scream. Also Kenny was in The Skids, Slik and Simple Minds. If you believe, based on that information, that I can produce a reasonably useful page I would appreciate it if you could let me know and reinstate the page so that I can update it.

Thanks

I had moved some Archos pages due to a discussion, but after further study on the [http://www.archos.com/products/audio/archos_104/accessories.html?country=global&lang=en source link], I attempted to re-move (no pun intended), or re-rename Archos Jukebox series to Archos Jukebox as no proof of the word "series" is actually used. The attempt was fruitless, as the page was used as a re-direct page. I tried blanking it, and moving it again. Turns out that Wikipedia doesn't allow a blank page replaced. And then I forgot to revert the blank. I may try requesting a move to admins (from Archos Jukebox series to Archos Jukebox), and if you have the time to do so, that would be a lot of help. --Jw21/PenaltyKillah ^{VANucks|16-10-3} 06:53, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
