[edit] Markusse's pages
Hi there, I have seen your messages. Thanks for pointing out the issues with the entries. As you can see they are my first wikipedia efforts and I haven't managed to do it very well. Should get better with a little help though. Let me explain, I am a marketing undergraduate and I just noticed that The Enginge Group, second biggest advertising agency in the UK was not in the index. This Engine group is unique in the way they have built a conglomerate of specialised teams and small agencies and I thought it was worth to note. If you know about this industry you understand what I mean. I did make the mistake of taking most of the info from their website, rather than coming up with something 100% original. However, I still believe it is relevant and worth to be included. The two chairmen of the company are also interesting characters, especially Robin Wight who has written quite interesting papers about the relation between human brain and advertising. I would really appreciate if you give me some time to edit what it is there (although most of it has already been deleted). Is there any way to make the entries "private" so only a few people can see them and provide feedback on them?). Also, what do you mean with the {prod} tag? Thanks in advance, M.
- I'm sure they're very interesting people. But that isn't the same thing as notability, and I couldn't support notability with the sources that I found- maybe you have access to better ones. The {prod} tag was the original tag I placed on the article, suggesting that it be deleted in seven days if sources to improve it were not added. That's the tag you removed, so I sent it to the community at Articles for Deletion, where a variety of people can independently search for sources and make their determination. The article's fate is out of my hands and in the hands of the community, but if you can provide sources that show notability and explain them in the deletion discussion, it'll help- we all make decisions based on Wikipedia policy. As for the 'private' thing- a lot of people who want to work on an article a little bit at a time will create it in their own userspace first, then post it as an article when it's finished. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:52, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
I see. Thanks for clarification and the kind advice. Wasn't aware of this tag that you mention. Will quote sources in the deletion discussion. Thanks Markusse 17:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] vandal-fighting
Hi, thank you for your vandal-fighting, please take a look at User:RolandR/Vandalism. User:Deshmuckify and User:Deshmuck have already been added. If you see any edits like the ones of User:Deshmuckify; don´t even bother placing a warning; just go straight to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism and report them there. Say it is another User:Runtshit sock, and refer them to User:RolandR/Vandalism. Thanks for your help! Regards, Huldra 12:00, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sockpuppetry, is it? I'll keep my eyes open for the same patterns. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:01, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Thank you
Not that you're the only reasonable person I've come across when doing this chore, but... well, you're pretty unique! Please shout me if you need help with the minefield that is image policy on Wikipedia - I'll be glad to try. RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 21:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Aw, shucks, thanks! Anyone who's willing to take on the thankless job of trying to enforce Wikipedia image use policy deserves not only a barnstar but a bathtub full of ice cream as well. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Gee, FisherQueen, I thought people who ran around enforcing image policies deserved an electric appliance tossed into their bubblebath. Thanks for setting me straight on my misconception! Jeffpw 00:05, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Macaulay Culkin
I'm sorry, my contributions were not meant to be negative. They are relevant facts in my opinion and I documented them in an encyclopedic way. My only problem is, despite the Help link on here, I'm still unable to cite sources properly. They are basically any news agency or website that keeps up with Culkin's developments. Also, "Macaulay Culkin gay" is a recommended search on Yahoo. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Circumnavigator (talk • contribs).
- All information on Wikipedia, but especially information about living people, is required to be well sourced- we just don't deal in rumors. Culkin may well be gay, but until he comes out or is convincingly outed by a reliable source, we don't add the information here. That way, we are sure that we're only publishing true and verifiable information about our subjects. -FisherQueen (Talk) 21:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Dead race horse
User:Secondontheroad has just recreated the dead race horse article, again. I posted this as a sockpuppet, but nobody has said or done anything since I did so. --Orange Mike 19:20, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Looks like this did the trick, user is blocked now. Gotta feel sorry for the poor dead horse...-FisherQueen (Talk) 19:27, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Shhh!
Tell no-one and I'll cut you in for a share of the payments. Say 5% a week? And bribes are tax deductible, I believe. RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 19:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Sounds fair. Especially since, if I understand the accusation correctly, I'm getting paid just for not tagging notable articles, which I'm already doing for free. -FisherQueen (Talk) 19:04, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- You're doing it for free? You've missed a trick. There are over 1.5million articles here, of which some, even many, are notable. I personally extract €0.75 from each author a week in order to not delete each article. At the last count, I was making more money than the whole of the EU made in GDP last year. You need to get a bit more hard-assed with these contributors - your problem is that you're far, far too nice. RΞDVΞRS ✖ ЯΞVΞЯSΞ 19:24, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have been very, very foolish, haven't I? I'm going to send a message to the major contributors of George W. Bush right now- pony up, or I tag the article with {db-bio}. -FisherQueen (Talk) 20:19, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
