Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 22:17, 23 December 2008

September 2007

Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made to Brookhaven College: You may already know about them, but you might find Misplaced Pages:Template messages/User talk namespace useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit was inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the sandbox. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a vandal when they've been previously warned. Thank you. Tiptoety 18:30, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

That is Carmen Chu's website. Clarifying some spam.

The website you recently reverted was really her personal website, not spam. I'll prove it. So, he was trying to help. I'm not on anyone's side, but I'm also against vandalism. So, I clicked the link, and turns out, it was Carmen Chu's personal webpage! Check it out! I'm not lying! -Goodshoped35110s_Contribs 23:38, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Ron Pearson

Hi there. I've found some evidence of notability for Ron Pearson. It originally made realistic claims of notability, so it did not qualify for {{a7}}. Further research confirmed the article's claims, so if you still want to challenge it, I suggest WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Cheers! - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 18:26, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Fine by me. 18:40, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Spiritual BTNH

Not sure if you're an admin, but the above 'subject' has been deleted and salted before. He's just sockpuppeted an account and renamed his Spiritual Bone article to avoid the 'salt.' Fabrictramp handled it before (as per my talk page). Let me know if you need more info on this hoax. τßōиЄ2001 22:58, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Discussion over deletion request for Recyclebank page

Just wanted to see if you could give me some guidance as to what I can do to the Recyclebank article I created so that it is not deleted for blatant advertising. That certainly was not my intention but I think that a company like this should be represented. I included all the major reliable references for this company such as the New York Times, Ceres, Boston Globe and Columbia University. Please advise. thanks. ~m (talk) 01:17, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

As I said, I don't think it's blatant advertising any more. You took out the bits I was responding to. I'm not supposed to take off the tag myself, though. An admin will likely do it soon. Given the talk, it's not going to get deleted PhGustaf (talk) 01:41, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Dylan Thomas

In view of your edit you may wish to comment at Talk:Dylan Thomas#Welsh. TerriersFan (talk) 00:37, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Marriage

Usenet is not a reliable source. At any rate, you didn't even provide a usenet source. Please see WP:BLP. Frank is still alive, and any unsourced information on him must be removed. Cool Hand Luke 02:07, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

It's not that I don't believe you. It's that you must have a reliable source. Cool Hand Luke 02:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Another Black Day

I have posted my reasoning for not speedy deleting their page on the talk page.--Crazy4metallica (talk) 20:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Excellent. I wouldn't have flagged it if you hadn't deleted the "unreferenced" box. You're going to need references. PhGustaf (talk) 21:01, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I was going to get references and then the speedy deletion came up to quick on me--Crazy4metallica (talk) 21:20, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

I have the references add now. --Crazy4metallica (talk) 21:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Remember that I don't decide what happens here -- some admin will look at the flag and decide what to do. But you need better references, at least a newspaper review, something to indicate that the group is notable. Lots of people have put out CDs. Check out WP:MUSIC. Good luck.

Lowbah

I have never heard of "lowbah" or "CHORSEL", and I find it extremely unlikely any poker game involves a "scramble to find the jokers." Please provide some credible sources. --Andrews Palop (talk) 20:06, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

"Lowbah" is admittedly slang: It's A-5 low 5-card draw with the sevens rule and a Joker in the deck. The more proper term is "lowball". And, since most poker games these days don't use Jokers, it's usually a hassle to dig them out, and they're often conspicuously unworn. I'm not about to make a big deal out of this, however. PhGustaf (talk) 20:46, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Remarkably I did actually work out that "Lowbah" was slang for lowball, which I know to be 5-card draw where the lowest hand wins. However, not only does slang not belong in an encyclopedia entry, describing it as a "scramble to find the jokers" was ambiguous and I have never heard of a HORSE variant which includes a draw game. I could, of course, be very mistaken, and if this is the case, my apologies, but I still believe your additions to the HORSE article should be rewritten. --Andrews Palop (talk) 21:03, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Wait a sec, it would appear that CHORSEL is a real game. My apologies for my error. If you wish I will rewrite your edits for you so that they are suitable for an encyclopedia entry. --Andrews Palop (talk) 21:09, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Go ahead, and thanks. This is the sort of interchange that helps Misplaced Pages work. PhGustaf (talk) 21:16, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Electro Homeopathy

I've done some work on this page with is currently an AfD. Nonsense though the science behind the topic almost certainly is, it does have some interesting history and might be saveable. Have a look at the rewrked page and see if you think there's the basis for an article there. thanks Brammarb (talk) 20:21, 5 September 2008 (UTC)

Berg obama

Thanks. Just bored, and i figure if it doesn't get deleted, or until it does, it should be as appropriate and good as possible. Go well.Bali ultimate (talk) 20:48, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Cubs vs. Red Sox

Maybe they'll have a centennial rematch in 2018. I thought for sure it was going to happen in 2003, but fate intervened. Obviously I had to root against the Yankees in the Series, despite what the Marlins did to my Cubs, so my most positive memory of that Series is the extraordinary performance by Josh Beckett, pitching a complete game shutout to clinch it in Game 6 and, unknowingly, close the book on The Stadium's World Series history. The Yankees' collective deer-in-the-headlights look, as Beckett mowed them down inning after inning, was priceless. Just a prelude to 2004, though. To this day, I still can't believe, and have to go back to the DVD to be sure of it, that the Red Sox came back from 3 games to none in the ALCS. Baseball Bugs 11:33, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Up until September I thought this year might be the year. Both our teams let us down. Pox on Manny. PhGustaf (talk) 22:51, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

A lot of folks thought the Cubs were the team of destiny this year, or possibly the Rays. Who'd have thought it would be the Phillies? I wonder, though, how long before Manny's act wears thin in L.A.? Baseball Bugs 22:59, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

Obama profession

Please discuss this on the article talk page rather than reverting it again: this has been hashed out before, and my revert and Tarc's subsequent revert were in keeping with consensus. Thanks Tvoz/talk 00:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Oh - didn't see you were already discussing this with Tarc - and on the article talk. (Agree for sure that it's not a big deal.) Tvoz/talk 00:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Brought it up on the talk page, too. Mea culpa is this is old news, and I'm not going to hold my breath and turn blue about it in any case. PhGustaf (talk) 00:31, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Obama ucc

He has renounced his membership of Trinity, without transfer to another UCC church. I'm not sure if you understand how this works. Renoucing membership is not the same as ceasing to attend. It is a repudiation and a separation. You need a 3rd party source that says he is UYCC since that repudiation.Die4Dixie (talk) 12:23, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

On the contrary, you need to show that he's renounced the denomination as well as the congregation. "Membership" could get dicey; last time I checked, UCC didn't issue photo IDs. PhGustaf (talk) 22:36, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Absolutely not. You must show a source that he continued to be UCC without a church and that he is still in communion with the UCC.Die4Dixie (talk) 22:13, 23 December 2008 (UTC)

I also see where you said I had an agenda in your edit summary. Please comment on edits and not editors or I will have you up on ANI quicker than you can say shit. Call this a non template warning, level 1Die4Dixie (talk) 22:17, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
