[edit] Thanks for blocking the latest Lucille Ball sock-vandal
Should I have reported that to WP:SSP#Reporting_suspected_sock_puppets? I thought that WP:AIV would be ok for such an obvious sock-vandal, but apparently not. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 21:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
This is how I spent part of New Year's Day: User talk:Bennbread... so my patience is at the same level (i.e. I'm fresh out). User:Antandrus shut down that sock...but I'm sure there will be more. I'm taking the same whack-a-mole approach as you are; I just have to hope for an available admin whenever a new sock pops up. -- Jim Douglas (talk) (contribs) 22:18, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Protection Error
I would like to point out that your protection for Image:Flag of England (bordered).svg was not done correctly. I'm unsure if it was a mistake or if you just didn't know how, but when you protect an image from Commons, you need to make sure you get a Commons admin to protect the page there. Alternatively, you can download the image and upload it locally, and then apply protection as you did in this case. Thanks in advance, and I apologize if you knew about those processes already and this sounded condescending. -- tariqabjotu 23:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, and by the way, you can add a parameter to the {{mprotected2}} template that says what article is associated with the protected page. For example, for templates transcluded into Ahmose I, you could put {{mprotected|Ahmose I}}. That might make things a little easier for admins looking to unprotect templates in pages no longer on the Main Page, as it gives them an idea of when the associated article was or will be on the Main Page. -- tariqabjotu 00:07, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] {{warning}}
I would like to replace the current image with Image:Fairytale waring.png so as to make the warning more friendly. I think warnings are often pointless and I would like to bring about more understanding of vandal culture. I am even thinking of creating wikipedia:penance program. frummer 21:01, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Short pages
Per your recent edit to The Llama Song, I'm wondering if it might be better in the long run to add some extra stuff to the {{deletedpage}} template so that it will automatically avoid being listed on Special:Shortpages. What do you think? ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 16:28, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] contested prod of 3760 B.C.
I have removed the {{prod}} tag from 3760 B.C., which you proposed for deletion, because I feel that this article should not be deleted from Wikipedia. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Chrislk02 (Chris Kreider) 18:08, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
- It was orphaned because the year was wrong. Article has now been moved to 3761 B.C. --Selket 21:41, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Template:Genesis
Hi TexasAndroid, I was wondering how long a template like this one usually stays protected after an article in which it's used is featured on the main page. I'd like to add something to the template. You can see the discussion of that here. Thanks in advance. Robotman1974 14:39, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks! That was quick. I've read about that particular vandal... it's a real shame that templates have to be locked like that but I guess it's one of the only solutions for now. Happy editing. Robotman1974 15:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Long comments for Shortpages
Keep in mind for non-maintenance pages like disambiguation pages that can and will warrant textual changes it may be best not to add a long comments to push them off Shortpages. Many of these pages instead need to be expanded with additional items linked or need explanatory descriptions added or birthdate information for persons, or general disambig formatting, etc. —Centrx→talk • 04:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am using Shortpages to flesh out these disambiguation pages and other pages. Though, for many of them there is not much that can be done to flesh them out. I am just asking that you consider when you go through them whether there is more you can do to make it a better disambiguation page that facilitates navigation for the reader, rather than just pushing them off. Hopefully we will get to higher and higher bytecounts—it hasn't been up to 91 at least since I've used it in the last seven months—but once you get up to the level of the disambiguation page there is not much vandalism going to be there anyway. So, to some extent it pushes the pages off only to get more of the same kind of page, until eventually we get to those commented-out pages again that could still use improvement. Just something to consider. —Centrx→talk • 16:04, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Refectory?
Hi TexasAndroid--I am working on Blackfriars Theatre, and I noticed that Refectory has been deleted; I am sorry if I am addressing the wrong person, but the log appears that you deleted it as the result of a PROD. Do you know if there is a way to check the reason for the PROD? I would like to recreate the page, which has more than 50 links to it. I am a novice in this, so I apologize if I am doing something out of process. Jlittlet 01:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Artistic Perspective Entertainment
I object to your deletion of "Artistic Perspective Entertainment" as result of a Prod. This companies works are receiving world release and press for the artists involved. A.P.E. Films and its two directors C.S. Vernon & Jimmy Lee are certainately more notable than many of the other music video & film directors/companies currently listed in Wikipedia.

[edit] Philip Beckley
Could you explain to me what was exactly wrong with Philip Beckley and why it was deleted? What does it mean "Blanked by creator". If you dont like it in the proposed form we can work on it. I would appreciate if next time you send me a comment at least letting me know that the article was deleted (not to mention that you could just simply talk to me BEFORE it was deleted). --Zureks 10:59, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
- Hi. Thanks for your speedy reply and explanation. First of all I would like to apologize, because it was all my fault. I was working on the page in my Sandbox. When I was ready I copied to content to the actual page. A then I wanted to remove the stuff from my sandbox (by as you say blanking it) - as you can see somewhere I got so confused that I also blanked the text from the actual article (see the Edit summary of that edition). Thanks a lot for your help and for undeleting that article. Have a nice day. --Zureks 16:01, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding a category
Regarding Category:Russian-language films, since all other "X-language films" categories don't have the requirement that the films not be from the largest country with that language, perhaps it would be a good idea to rename it to something like "Russian-language films not made in Russia"? I also wonder if you could weigh in on the deletion discussions here and here. Esn 23:10, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] question about u2charist deletion
'ello. just wondering why you deleted the article with the aforementioned name that i'm really embarrassed to repeat because it's the silliest most absurd thing i've ever heard of? despite my urge to vomit when even thinking about it, i'm still curious, seeing as i've read lots and it gets "about 35000" hits on google. was the old article really bad, or did you share my nausea and just put any who, despite their best interests and self-preservation, wanted to find a wikipedia article that might help ease the stomach a bit, our of their miseries? --Chalyres 13:43, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] power sum
Your edit to the power sum disambiguation page seems inappropriate and I have reverted. The term "power sum" does not refer to those things. Rather, power sums are written about in those two articles. Michael Hardy 22:12, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Short disambiguation pages
Please at least check that these pages are formatted properly and link to the articles of the same name on Wikipedia before pushing them off the list. There is a similar situation for other pages; don't put a stub tag on a completely unsourced, unwikified article. The article should be wikified and the it should be verified that the topic at least exists. —Centrx→talk • 16:45, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Moonlight Towers
Yes, the copyrighted material obviously needed to be removed. But that doesn't seem like the best way to go about doing it; the fact that you didn't bother to replace the material unrelated to the Texan article seems rather careless.

You said in your removal of the prod on Tamil gangs that you had contested the prod on your talk page. But I can't find any such thing here - am I blind? Anyhow, I think your opinion on why it shouldn't be prodded needs to go on the article's talk page, not yours. --Alvestrand 14:54, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
- Ah. I understand - I did not see that you were acting in the role of admin, I thought you were acting in the role of the protester; I did not see the delete & restore in the article log.

Per the AfD on Quizap (refer to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quizap), the content was transplanted to a different page without a redirect. The explanation given, if memory serves, was that the new location - Quizap! - was the correct name. Does this mean that the article should be deleted, or that it should start anew in the AfD process? --Dennisthe2 17:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why deleted Manitoba Scholoastic Chess Association
I'm new at wikipedia and my article was recently deleted with the comments nn-org. After some further reading, I believe that this means the organization is not notable? Please confirm this.
I am not trying to create an argument, I want to understand what is not notable about the organization if its parent organization has not been deleted from Wikipedia? I realize that the parent organization is a national organization, but without provincial organizations the national organization would really not exist as an organization.

Could you please check your deletion of this article? As far as I can see, it was on AfD, not on ProD, but you closed it as being on ProD for more than five days.

[edit] Split Femur Recordings, deleted.
Re:
[edit] Split Femur Recordings
I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Split Femur Recordings, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
- Hi, just to let you know that the website for Split Femur Recordings, splitfemurrecordings.com, is now listed in Google, therefore fulfilling the requirement. Can this page be restored or does it need to be created again? Thanks
RSieradzki 01:09, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- I have restored the article. It was deleted by WP:PROD. Your protest is all it takes to overturn the PROD deletion. PROD is for uncontroversial deletions to save the trouble of the more detailed WP:AFD process. That said, I highly doubt that the company meets notability requirements. Just showing up on Google is not enough. If someone decides to do a full AFD of the article, I suspect it will be deleted, for good this time. - TexasAndroid 12:48, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

- Hello, thank you for restoring the article. I'm sure the company does meet notability requirements; it's a fully VAT-registered company, received various business grants from government projects and has just pressed its first CD release which is now available to buy on Amazon.co.uk (click here to see).

- I appreciate that you're clearing up articles that don't meet Wikipedia's standards; that's a good thing (I try to do it myself when I have the time), however I do not agree with your stance on this article - the noted company is worthy of a wikipedia article.

[edit] Why the redirect for Alan Russell?
Alan Russell and David Allen Russell are two different people from two different centuries in two different professions. The redirect should be deleted. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 130.182.28.177 (talk • contribs).
- The fact that there are other Alan/Allen Russells in the world, one of whom happens to be a NASCAR driver, does not invalidate the redirect, IMHO. I'm sure that there are lots of other Alan/Allen Russells out there in other professions as well in this wide world of ours. But at the moment, the only one notable enough to have an article on the project is David Allen Russell. If you feel that Alan Russell, NASCAR driver, is notable enough to have an article, you are welcome to create an account and, after a few days, create the article. It will need to be sourced to show exactly why this Alan Russell is notable enough to have a page on the project. At that point, a disabbig page at Alan Russell between both of them will make sense. At the moment though, just changing the redirect to an unsourced, one line entry about the NASCAR driver is not productive.
- If creating an article about the NASCAR driver is not in your skill set (which I fully understand, as I'm no major article author either), or you decide that he's simply not notable enough for a page, you could still try to have the redirect removed. In this case you should follow the proper process for removing bad redirects at WP:RFD. You will need to have a fairly persuasive argument for why the redirect is bad. - TexasAndroid 14:56, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Evolutionary Guidance Media and Dana Klisanin
Hello,
I believe the pages created representing Dana Klisanin and Evolutionary Guidance Media have been deleted in error and meet the criteria for notability for the following reasons:
--Referencing the criteria established by Wikipedia: Notability (academics)
Criteria 1 She is regarded as a significant expert in her area of research by the following independent sources: The Journal of Transpersonal Psychology & the International Society for the System Sciences.
Criteria 2 & 5 She is regarded as an important figure (i.e., as a pioneer of a new discipline) by the following independent academics in the field of transpersonal psychology: Bela A. Banathy, Marcie Boucouvales, Dan Gaylinn, J.F. Bugental, Paul Clemens, Jack Engler, James Fadiman, Jorge Ferrer, Daniel Goleman, Elmer Green, Stanislav Grof, Herbert Guenther, Tobin Hart, Michael Hutton, Stanley Krippner, Lawrence LeShan, John Levy, David Loy, Francis Lu, David Lukoff, Michael Mahoney, Micahel Murphy, peter Nelson, Kaisa Puhakka, Huston Smith, Tonu Soidla, Charles Tart, Frances Vaughan, Miles Vich, Jenny Wade Michael Wahburn, John Welwood.
Additionally, the International Society for the Systems Sciences (ISSS) i.e., the oldest organization devoted to interdisciplinary inquiry into the nature of complex systems, has recognized evolutionary guidance media as an original contribution (i.e., important new concept)to the field through the publication of Dr. Klisanin's work as well as through an invitation to present her research at the 50th annual meeting of said society.
I believe these pages need to be re-instated to Wikipedia.

[edit] Anatomy and physiology
Hi TexasAndroid. I agree with you about blanking an article not being the same as contesting a deletion proposal (and it's in the policy too). But there's more to this one. There had been an earlier deletion proposal by User:JuJube. I removed the first deletion proposal on March 3. The blanking removed the second proposal. Your deletion proposal was the third, and I removed it on the basis of the first one having been removed (by me), not on the basis of the blanking of the article. Which is to say that on March 3 I protested the deletion proposal, so if there's to be a next step, it would be Articles for Deletion. Hope that clarifies matters.

- Sorry. I'm not going to undelete the article in it's current form. At the time of deletion, the article simply said "Tom Neville is a UK based DJ, remixer and producer." This is far from adequite for an article on the project. Articles need to be sourced to establish the truth of what was said. You call him "world renowned", but the article made no such claim, let alone showed sourced to establish this as true. You are welcome to recreate the article, but unless you give it some good sourcing (see WP:RS), it is likely to be quickly deleted again. - TexasAndroid 12:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Could you undelete the Gou-rou.com article?
Obviously it's not famous overseas, but it's reasonably notable amongst Anglophones in China. I was going to update the info there this evening but it's already gone the way of polyester shirts. So if you could just give it a quick undelete, that would be nice. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tmcgrenery (talk • contribs).
[edit] Why did you delete the Radicore article?
Why was I not contacted before this article was deleted? Tony Marston 16:56, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- It was on WP:PROD for five days. That is all that is required for it to be deleted. The PROD noticed placed on the page *is* the notification that it is subject to upcoming deletion. However, PROD is only for uncontroversial deletions. If you wish to protest the deletion, just let me know, and I will restore it. - TexasAndroid 17:05, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think it is bad form to mark an article for deletion without informing the author. I can see no reason why it should have been deleted as the content is no different to the articles on all those other frameworks. I would be grateful if you could reinstate it asap. - Tony Marston 21:21, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Harris Goldman Article Deleted?
I am extremely upset at your recent deletion of my article about Stephen Harris Goldman. He is a major figure in the Orlando area in the areas of the Arts, Sciences and Charitable Philanthropy. He is very well known and was the largest contributing designer of all currently used versions of RAID technology, as well as the first hardware designer to come up with a working intelligent disk controller. On what basis do you deny this article???? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Youknowyouknowmyname (talk • contribs).
- I am protesting this deletion! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Youknowyouknowmyname (talk • contribs).
- By the time you left your second message, the article had already been undeleted for a number of hours. It was deleted via WP:PROD, which is for uncontroversial deletions only. Your first message made the deletion no longer uncontroversial, so I undeleted it. - TexasAndroid 04:34, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Stephen Harris Goldman AfD
I noticed the logs for Stephen Harris Goldman and that you were involved with an original deletion and restoration of this article. I was wondering if you would like to weigh in on the AfD currently underway for this article. I think your insight would be helpful. Thanks. --Valley2city₪‽ 14:24, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Billy Ego-Sandstein
Hello. I'd like to notify you that I've proposed that you be added as a party to the ongoing arbitration case Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Billy Ego-Sandstein. You might want to comment on that motion. I would welcome any other contributions you might want to make, of course, with regard to the arbitration case as a whole. Sandstein 17:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Sigh. If I must, I must. I've done my best to stay far away from arbcom, not wanting to deal with the drama. I really have no idea what the normal procedures are for dealing with arbcom. Is there a step-by-step guide somewhere for how I'm supposed to respond? Where I should and should not comment? Any guidence of what I should do now would be appreciated. - TexasAndroid 19:36, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Believe me, I share your feelings. The whole procedure is a huge waste of time. However, since we do have the case now, and since your (in my opinion, unfortunate) unilateral unblock of Billy Ego was a factor leading up to it, we might benefit from having ArbCom looking at it as well. Not to get you sanctioned or anything, just to confirm that here's how unblocks should proceed.
- I've been told by a clerk that this requires you to be added as a party to the case. If you want to get minimally involved, I believe that it will do if you state here (under "Comment by others") whether you agree to be added as a party, and, optionally, a brief comment about the merits (i.e., whether you believe the unblock to have been justified under WP:BP or not). Sandstein 06:12, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your statement on the issue. I've withdrawn the motion because this arbitration case is involved enough as it is. Have a nice easter weekend! Sandstein 06:54, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] William Christian (Manx)
I generally agree with you. However the situation is there are 3 Manx William Christians: 1. Illiam Dhone 2. Reverand William Christian CP JP BA - a member of the LegCo from 1883 to 1887 3. William Watson Christian CP JP - a member of the LegCo from 1848 to 1867.
I have no further information on these latter 2 but by virtue of them being Members of the Legislative Council of the Isle of Man they are notable in the sense of Wikipedia and thus could have pages on them. I would suggest a disambiguation page would be more appropraite at William Christian (Manx) than just a redirect, as both WC 2 and 3 are linked from the LegCo page.
