| Thank you so much for adding a VFD tag to an article just three minutes after I saved the first draft. Your helpful intervention is what makes Misplaced Pages so rewarding to contribute to. Not. --] 16:15, 12 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Same for the copyvio on material in ] copied from elsewhere in Wiki that was about to be edited anyway. The text is entirely replaced with the version of the article from the Abramoff piece I was about to merge in. --] 00:49, 13 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| there is no way that you could possibly have made a considered judgement on the issue of a copyright violation in the three minutes between the article being created and you slapping on the copyvio. You clearly did not take any time to look at the material and did not even bother to write a talk entry. Your account was created only a few hours ago and you already have done this more than once.--] 01:29, 13 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| Same for ] which, while a stub at best (though with a picture), was VFDed within minutes of creation. Obviously a new form of troll. ] 20:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == Find another cure for your boredom == | |||
| - Your activities are almost exclusively in the area of VFD and already you have an impressive track record of pushing your unconsidered personal opinion and generating work for other people in the process. In one case you slammed as "your own private website" an article about a company in business since 1936. You are a loose cannon. ] 13:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC) | |||
| == VFD Walsh? == | |||
| I suggest that if this twit does not stop plastering VFD and copyvio over every page he sees that he be reported. No, strike that I think he should be reported. Many of his deletes seem to be within minutes of the original post, far too little time to read the article or consider whether it really is a problem. --] 14:02, 13 August 2005 (UTC) | |||

| ==Please, nobody remove any more comments.== | |||
| Instead, try responding to them, no matter how crazy they may seem. In the case of this {{tl|test4}} message added originally by ](see ), it seems to me to be incorrectly used, for the following reasons: | |||
| :*It is unsigned, so it is not clear (without using the history) who wrote it. | |||
| :*It is not clear exactly what it refers to; in this case there are multiple possible disputes going on, so it is important to specify which one is being referred to. | |||
| :*If it is in reference to violating the ], then it is the wrong template - 3RR violations '''are not vandalism'''. | |||
| :*If it is in reference to removing comments, while removing comments is a Very Bad Thing, it is not generally considered vandalism. Comments, while very important, are not content. | |||
| :*If it is in reference to the apparent original dispute, to whit, bad VfDs, bad VfDs are simply not a blockable offence - vandalising the VfD page is, but putting too many or the wrong pages on VfD is simply an irritation, and possibly a case of ], but '''not''' vandalism. | |||
| :This is why I consider the above test4 template to be incorrectly applied to this page. However, as I said above, nobody remove it - everyone should be clearly able to see what is going on.

| ::I just reported Walsh on the administrator page, after posting his claim to have taken a break he VFD'd yet another recently posted article clearly in the process of being edited. The scope of the articles suggests that what Walsh is doing is simply tracking some 'recently posted' page and deciding if the articles there meet with his personal approval. Walsh clearly has no understanding of many of the issues he is posting VFD on. Walsh has since attempted to revert this notice of report. Walsh will be reported for breaking the three revert rule as well if he does this again. | |||
| ::::: After they were removed in favor of the delete log reference (retained immediately below), I restored the above criticisms.

| Walsh appears to be removing comments not added at the bottom of the page, and is requesting that posters identify who they are, and what they are commenting on. ] Wikiquette dictates Identification is normally provided by User & Timestamp at the comment's end, usually provided by insertion of <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki> at comments end. Adding items to the end of page is usually reserved for new items of discussion. Adding comments only at the bottom is not required or even common Talk page style.

This is ], barring resolved disputes; as this page is under three days old (earliest User contribution 11:54, 12 August 2005), this is not appropriate at this time. Combined with the extensive advocacy of deletion of articles and the extremely young age of the UserID, I would recommend a block or ban on the account.

Disclaimer
Please note that I am now taking a two month Wikibreak to Bermuda, during which time my cat Salem will be filling in for me on RC Patrol, etc. Unfortunately, he is unable to answer talk page queries for obvious reasons. Bye! Erwin Walsh 15:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

Esperanza
Excuse me? How could the word esperanza be interpreted as being racist? -JCarriker 12:35, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
- Oh no, you misunderstand there are no restrictions on who might join. I'm not even Spanish, I'm Southern. Thanks for your concerns though. -JCarriker 12:48, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
Delete tags
Hi Erwin! Thanks for spotting that Maximum delay was something which ought to be deleted. It's gone now. Remember to use the {{delete}}-tag, or {{db|Reason this page should be speedy deleted}}-tag for suggesting speedy deletions, because the {{csd}}-tag is used for category deletions. (Also {{subst:vfd}}-tags are used for "regular" deletions, {{ifd}} for image deletions and {{rfd}} for redirect deletions. A lot to keep track of there, isn't it? :-)) Cheers, Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)
Moan
The assertion that this article is a recreation of previously deleted content is incorrect (specifically, the deleted content was a single line, and the current article is a page and a half). For that reason, I've closed the VFD. If you wish to suggest that porn stars aren't notable per se, I'd suggest looking at some others, as there are a number of such 'stars' on wikipedia with less renown than DeMoan.

I ask that you please watch your language. I saw your comments on the Anal Masturbation VfD. Please assume good faith and do not make any more personal attacks. Acetic Acid 22:03, August 19, 2005 (UTC)
