Revision as of 17:48, 30 March 2008
Welcome to my talk page! I tend to reply to messages directly on here, so I suggest watching my page if you're looking for a reply. I watch user talk pages I comment on so we can keep conversations organized.
I can't adopt you, I'm afraid, but I just thought I'd drop you a note to tell you that what I've seen of your edits so far is very encouraging - you're doing brilliantly! Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry 02:23, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thank you for your kind words!--English836 02:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes i wish to be adopted.--English836 19:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
- Oh, English, I'm so sorry! I completely forgot...oh, sorry, sorry sorry! Don't worry; I'll have your adoption curriculum ready soon! Again, sorry, ( arky ) 02:03, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
- Okay, your adoption curriculum is here (just scroll down until you see your name) and I've typed up your first lesson for you at User talk:English836/Adoption, where I will post all future messages as well :) So, it might be a good idea for you to keep an eye on it in case I add anything there. Cheers, ( arky ) 02:24, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
Hey
Are you trying to avoid having any connection to previous users who edited here...or are you trying to be halfway blatant as to who you are? If you're trying to keep your identity unconnected to the previous one, then I suggest you change your editing as it's not hard to decipher. Metros (talk) 03:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Image
The image comes from the NY state court system. Even if the FBI was now in charge of the case (which is not true, by the way, the first line of the most recent article says "State police continue...") the photo would still be from the state police. Metros 23:00, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- You shouldn't be against uploading pictures. I realize fully that Misplaced Pages takes copyright seriously, but how hard is it for you to find the damn correct tag, and place it on the picture.--English836 23:07, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- The onus falls on you, English836, as the uploader. Metros 23:09, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- What are you talking about onus, please use proper english. If this keeps up its going to Arbitration--English836 23:10, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- wikt:Onus. And this would be rejected very quickly by the arbitration committee, so I wouldn't waste your time. Metros 23:14, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

- I've added the correct copyright information to the image page. Turns out it's fair use after all :) ( arky ) 22:17, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- You rule dude, i knew there was a template, just couldn't find it. Thanks :) --English836 23:33, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
- Teehee...I actually found the template by accident in a Google search for the copyright information of mugshots instead of a direct site search :) ( arky ) 02:07, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Beekman Fire District
Another editor has added the {{prod}}
template to the article Beekman Fire District, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not and Misplaced Pages:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Misplaced Pages or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}}
template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. BJBot (talk) 13:59, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- I asserted notability. Everyone knows this administrator is biased and targets me along with a few other users, that i have communicated with via email. I think there is something in the bigger picture than him trying to "do his duty and keep everything encyclopedic". Im suggesting that this be brought to Arbitration, since this is not the first time I have had problems with this fop. By viewing my contributions you can see that he has targeted every article I edit for kicks. Someone should review this, and if deletion passes me and six other users will support it for a WP:DRV. Good Luck--English836 (talk) 16:37, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Well guess what, based on the AFDs on the various pages of yours that I've tagged for deletion, it appears I've been correct in the eyes of other editors. If you wrote about notable things and I was still doing that, then you could cry abuse; but that's definitely not happening in this case. Metros (talk) 16:49, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- The AFDs on the other pages are only because you go down the list of my contributions scanning for articles that are "not worthy" in your mind. If Metros doesnt like it, he'll rally up his administrator buddies and all vote Delete on the AFD, which is strictly against policy, but when has policy stopped anyone. Im crying abuse on all the other 8 pages I've created that you and your misjudgment have caused to be deleted. If i nominated FCCLA or some other pointless high school enrichment program that you fancy, you wouldnt be so happy either. Also FCCLA doesnt even assert notibility, its nothing more than a after-school club, for future cooks and childcare professionals. Come on, this one is easy. Ignorance at its finest here on Misplaced Pages.--English836 (talk) 16:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

There is precedence for articles on these "after-school clubs". See Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/DECA (organization). Obviously there are standards; not every school club is notable, but with 220,000 students in the organization in about 7,000 schools, I'd say that FCCLA exceeds that standard. Metros (talk) 17:04, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- So you are insinuating that a after school club is more notable than a Fire Department? A place for kids to go and hang out with friends and compete for pointless titles, more important than someone who risks their life going into a burning building? I think not; you my friend have quite alot of learning to do, as apparently you have no respect for employees Government Agencies. And your blatant lack of having any leverage on these articles is repulsive. --English836 (talk) 17:10, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

- There you go again with misleading, blatantly false information. Read your own source very carefully.

It does not set standards of inclusion, nor do I see any attempt at a guideline at the page you linked to. The appropriate guideline here is WP:ORG. Metros (talk) 17:39, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
- Here's another place in the US that won that award in 2003 as well. Metros (talk) 17:48, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
