Edit summary for CSD tagged articles

I noticed that you are using an edit summary for CSD tagged articles and user talk page notifications that look like you are actually putting up the article for an AfD. For example, this summary. That can be a bit confusing, especially for new editors. Can you switch over to an edit summary that says you are tagging as CSD not an AfD? Thanks. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:03, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: The AfD process and the speedy deletion process is different. You have been using the speedy deletion process. You are using the correct templates in the articles and messages left for the editors who created the article, but your edit summary on those two items says, for example, "AfD: Nominated for deletion; see Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Jonathan Epperson". That would indicate that you are using the AfD process, when you used the speedy delete process. Usually a speedy delete edit summary for the article will be the name of the speedy delete template used "{{db-bio}}" or "Requesting speedy deletion" or something like that. The edit summary for the user talk page is something like "Notification of speedy delete nomination of Jonathan Epperson". You can see what other editors use by checking the edit history of the articles at Category:Candidates for speedy deletion. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:18, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Re your message: Your new edit summary was fine. =) Thanks! -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:21, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Re: CSD Question

Re your message: Articles on schools should be deleted through an AfD. There are other articles that can't be speedy deleted. The list is at WP:CSD#Non-criteria. You should either use the Proposed deletion or AfD processes on those as appropriate. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:39, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
