[edit] Christmas Eve Records

Hi, you recently deleted a page I created about a DIY record label from the UK because you stated it was not notable. I disagree, because it has been mentioned in at least two other published sources in the form of record reviews. Please can you explain in a little more detail why you feel it is not notable. Thanks, Jane.

Thanks for your reply. I was working on the article and thought I could submit it, consider what I had written and edit it. I didn't realise it had to be complete before submission. Is there anyway I can recreate my article, but not publish it, so that I can work on it over the next few days and hopefully meet your standards re. notbility? Best wishes, Jane.

[edit] Capitalization

Please take your concerns to the discussion page on the Manual Style before reverting my edits. At the very least, an administrator should follow the rules, don't you think?

[edit] Incidentally...

I feel compelled to point out that I have now been vandalized one (1) more time than you. Nyah nyah. -FisherQueen (Talk) 22:16, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Yea im sorry that we didn't make it up just one day. FYI it's a game that's been around a while, we just felt it needed reported on here at wikipedia because cool people may want to learn about a great game, I mean it's a game just like football / soccer / baseball, these pages don't get deleted, but hey when people make a page about a game thats not as widely known as these, watchout wikipedia will break you down and crush your soul.

Hello,

Please have some patience with me, I am new to Wikipedia.

I contest the deletion of a page called and about Tacoland. Tacoland as a music club was as influential in South Texas as CBGB's was in New York City. In terms of Texas musical history, Tacoland was the San Antonio nexus for alternative, indie, and avant garde music for over 30 years. It has been written about in the press, in lore, in song.

I began the Tacoland page because 3 different individuals mentioned to me that they were surprised that there was no mention of Tacoland or Ram Ayala on Wikipedia. I am seeking to rectify this problem. Any music lover that seeks to learn about South Texas rock over the last 3 decades should know about Tacoland.

Thank you for your time,

[edit] The "Trallers" article

I'm sorry if you took my article as vandalism, but I assure you that the gang is very real. I was merely trying to inform the public of an ongoing group, as I thought Wikipedia was intended to be used as such. Thanks for any reply. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by OnlineMan2 (talk • contribs) 00:56, 22 March 2007 (UTC).

[edit] My new messages bar

I took the bar of someone else's talk a while back. I'd hate to remove it because I really like, but I can change color, and the last vandal is really not intended to be not assuming good faith. I understand the policy, and I can change it. The Evil Clown _{Please review me!} 20:47, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm having trouble. I once played with hangon templates in the sandbox and I added {{hangon|bgcolor="orange", , and it turned orange. However, for this it isn't working. Do you know why, and if you do, can you help me with it? The Evil Clown _{Please review me!} 21:01, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Is there a reason you wanted an orange hangon template? Leebo ^T/C 21:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Squirrel taggers...

I guess that's what I'll call this group. It's worth blocking 'em all now, I think. I just got a message from Redneck17 (talk • contribs), who is (naturally) no relation to Redneck16 (talk • contribs). Redneck 16's contribs are all vandalism, but escaped warning until the stupid squirrel tag article. This edit is easily the final straw in violating NPA.

Anyways...Kumarpatel (talk • contribs), Glfootball92 (talk • contribs) & blocked Con-61 (talk • contribs) are all obviously sock/meatpuppets with the rednecks 16 & 17. Bobbybilly90 (talk • contribs) probably is, too, but is at least a vandalim-oriented new user.

I brought this to you, since you issued the final WP:NOT/etc. warnings to these jokers.

It's probably okay to delete Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Redneck17 & Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Kumarpatel. Feel free to include a nice 'eye roll' in the deletion logs... -- Scientizzle 21:23, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Done, I believe. I'm probably not going to be around much this weekend (ha, I always say that), so take any future crap like this to ANI or AIV, depending on how obvious the vandalism is. -- Merope 21:51, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for all that. If I see 'em around again I'll head to ANI/AIV. Have a nice weekend! -- Scientizzle 22:26, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Bill Platt

I cleaned up my post of my personal biography Bill_Platt . Hopefully it meets your criteria now. I had viewed a personal bio of one of my contemporaries and decided that I would not be off-base in providing my own bio. Can you advise my current position with the post?

Thank you, Bill Platt—The preceding unsigned comment was added by BillPlattOklahoma (talk • contribs).

[edit] Removal of Nethope article

Hi,

You deleted the article I was creating on Nethope before it was even finished properly. Saying it was done under the "speedy deletion" stuff is all good and well. It is a bit of a ninja delete though, I was still working on it and trying out some stuff. :)

However to respond to article 11 or whatever it was. Advertising a company, product or whatever. I can understand that but the thing is, Nethope is a consortium of ngo's (Non Governmental Organization). So there is no profit goal or whatever for them. The only thing they want to achieve is to get several, if not all ngo's, get together and start collaborating in order to improve the efficiency of the ngo's on their projects in developing countries.

I thought an article of them on wikipedia would help them get more known and inform the general population of what it is exactly that they are doing.

So my question now is: - Can I still write an article about Nethope? - If it was just the way of how I was writing it that is not according to "rules"; can you tell me what I need to change?

This is my first article on wikipedia...

Kind regards, Kevin. Kevin.azijn 08:00, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Toolsrocks

• His first edit was to revert a redirect which had been deleted via an AfD, calling it "vandalism". The last person to edit the article was Brushcome (talk • contribs) who was blocked as a sock of SummerThunder. If it were another article, I'd probably not think twice about it, but SummerThunder lately seems fixated on the Highlander article. JuJube 08:19, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Firegirl65

Why did you delete the article on firegirl65?

Britney-xxo 08:55, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

• Her vids have been posted on various other websites besides youtube. If you need proof, search her username on youtube.

Britney-xxo 09:01, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

• But she comitted suicide because of the bullying?

Britney-xxo 09:10, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

• oh...sorry... i just thought that maybe it would be good to spread awareness of how bad bullying can get

[edit] Re:Admin Coaching?

Hi, Merope. Seeing as you are free as an admin coach [1] from about now, could I request you to be my coach? I've asked (aeropagitica) with no response... I'm interested in vandal-fighting, XFD's, backlogs, and welcoming new users as I see them. I'd like to know more about the finer points of Wikipedia- aka the admin's roles, what to do in admin backlogs, page deletions, etc before I run for an RFA. Interested in coaching me? CattleGirl ^{talk | sign! | review me} 09:40, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Sorry it took so long to get back to you! I've never really coached someone, but I'd be willing to give it a shot. Trouble is that I'm leaving for Paris very soon and will be away from Wikipedia for a couple of weeks. If you want to wait until after I get back (around 17 April), I'd be happy to help out. Cheers. -- Merope 15:38, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That sounds great! Thanks for saying you'll coach me- I hope your trip goes well! Cheers- CattleGirl ^{talk | sign!} 00:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Revolution Void

Hello Merope,

I have thoroughly read through the articles you recommended and I believe that Revolution Void meets the criteria of a notable band. The article may not be the best-written but it's a start. Feedback on the writing-style and content of the article is much appreciated, and I am more than willing to re-write as necessary.

In the interest of disclosure I should mention that I am behind the project Revolution Void, and I know that it is bad form to submit an article about yourself. But in all fairness, someone else had already written a whole Wiki article on me at Last.FM and I certainly think Revolution Void fits the "notability" requirements.

Here are a few of the reasons I feel this way:

• Revolution Void was featured in the Italian music magazine RGB, which included a CD featuring R.V. tracks and was distributed to 50,000 people.
• R.V. featured in French magazine "Socialiste Africaine" which also included a DVD. Distribution: 25,000
• Google search for "revolution void" yields 56,600 results
• Technorati search for "revolution void" yields 238 results, each one of these a feature/review
• revolutionvoid.com is PageRank 6 (from all the external links) so there is a wealth of info from reputable sites out there to cite sources
• R.V. has been in regular rotation on 50+ radio stations including notable mainstream stations such as KNDD (Seattle) and KROQ (LA).
• Collaborated with Oscar-award-winning composers on major projects. Music featured in 15+ films.
• Have collaborated with top-notch jazz musicians such as Avishai Cohen, Steven Bernstein, Kurt Rosenwinkel, Lucas Pickford, Matt Garrison and Seamus Blake.

So, it may be narcissistic to submit an article about myself. But at the same time, I am making a very niche form of music and I think that people will go to Wikipedia to look for who some of the notable musicians in this genre are, of which I feel that I am one. So if at all possible, I would appreciate allowing this article to be made.

Thanks!

Jonah Dempcy Revolution Void fissionchips303 01:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

I would like to make this page. Can you please inform me if it acceptable? I don't want to make the same mistakes as before, so please tell me specifically what was wrong with the first article so I can rectify the situation. Thanks, -Jonah fissionchips303 06:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] um

my friend, Redneck17 got blocked frum wikipedia. u blokced him why? he didn do nethang bad of vandalizing

[edit] School & User: CLAUDistic

Thank you for blocking user CLAUDistic who moved School to School sucks!. I moved it back, but school sucks still seems to be hanging around as a redirect. Does it need to be deleted? I assume it would be speedy deleted if there isn't an easier way to do it, but I don't know how to nominate a redirect for a speedy delete. Thanks. Enuja 15:30, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Taken care of (sorry, shouldn't butt into other peoples talk page convo's!) Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/talk 15:35, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

That's okay, Merope doesn't mind ;) Also, the appropriate speedy deletion tag for such a redirect is {{db-r3}}. Leebo ^T/C 15:39, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Hell, yeah. I love it when people do work for me.  ;) -- Merope 15:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Legion of Knights

Hi,

I see you deleted my post "Legion of Knights", I have one question, how can a gaming team like team 3d can have a wiki page but not us? We we're in the process of creating the article so of course they're wasn't any sources. If you could explain more your decision to delete our article, I would appreciate.

thank you and have a nice day,

Solid Snake 21:53, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

P.S.: You can reply on my talk page if you want.

[edit] Deletion of the article 'Tecan'

Hi, please explain why the article 'Tecan' was rated g11. From our point of view it was quite the same as other companies did before. Thanks. Tecan 09:13, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] User talk:Redneck17

Hey, there. Just looking into this user's unblock request. I did find some apparently iffy image uploads, but not so sure about the vandalism and/or socking? The block notice you left on their talk seemed to specifically indicate vandalism. Haven't looked through every edit they made, but did skim most of them. Am I missing something, deleted edits, perhaps? – Luna Santin (talk) 17:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

Ah, I definitely did miss something, then. ;) I've declined their unblock request, for now, at least until they own up to things. Guess we/somebody can revisit later if need be. Thanks! – Luna Santin (talk) 18:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oy!

Check your associated email when you get the chance... Thanks! — Scientizzle 22:02, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Of course, you just might be on your way to Paris, which would make my message of minimal importance. (and rightfully so, I might add...) Get back to me at your leisure, and enjoy your trip! — Scientizzle 23:08, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Shuzak

I was just wondering why the Shuzak article was deleted. The explanation was just speedy deletion and I read the criterion for speedy deletion and I don't think that the Shuzak article met it. I just want to know what specifically it was about the site. Thanks, RyeGye24 01:49, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
