WikiBirthday

I saw from here that it's been exactly one year since you joined the project. Happy WikiBirthday! Keep up the good work, rʨanaɢ /contribs 22:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Aww... thanks :) I feel loved... Today I was telling my friends about my WikiBirthday and I think I just confirmed their deepest suspicions that I"m officially insane...well, a nerd anyway. Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r ♫ (talk) 07:45, 19 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks :) Wow, I didn't even know I'd gotten to 200 edits! I feel really small now, though, seeing the list of other awards. I mean, I've been here for a year... and I have nowhere near 4,000. But oh well, thanks so much anyway, Uncle Dave :). Keep well in sunny Singapore! Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r ♫ (talk) 05:23, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Blockhouse Bay Primary School

A tag has been placed on Blockhouse Bay Primary School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Misplaced Pages:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Actually, perhaps it is better to let it take its chances at AfD, if someone wants to? Notability is established anyway. What do you think? Tim Song (talk) 10:01, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Shahida Azad Jamaludin

Seriously, what should i for this article to be approved?. You see, this is why Misplaced Pages loss their author much. I really have no time to waste here. Firstly, the source is reputable and to be "direct" she's my BF so i know all that is true. I hope people like you helped me in this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zuhdizuhdi (talk • contribs) 10:55, 30 November 2009 (UTC)

  • Actually, Zuhdizuhdi is the one having trouble reading and understanding the editing guidelines and policies of Misplaced Pages. IF indeed he/she had read through it or the Welcome section, I'm sure that he/she would know that Misplaced Pages isn't exactly the best place to put up a biography of a living person and even if Zuhdizuhdi is as he/she had claimed to be the "BF" of Shahida, it instantly becomes a Conflict of Interest problem. Note also that Misplaced Pages does not accept original research (per Misplaced Pages:Neutral point of view policy) as it is not a blog or social networking site. Zuhdizuhdi, you still have much to learn and understand about Misplaced Pages, learn also to see things from untainted eyes. Otherwise, we become no different from being a mouthpiece for other people. --Dave 01:31, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
Basically what Dave said is right. I'll reply you on your talk page though. Š¡nglî§h §Þëªk£r contribs♪ 03:56, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Just some friendly advice

Hello! I noticed that you asked some factual questions on the War in Afghanistan talk page a few months ago, for a school project, and I know you realized that that's not where you're supposed to ask questions. Did you know about the Reference Desk? It's the place on Misplaced Pages where you can ask factual questions and others will answer them, or help you find the answers. Just thought you might be interested in case you ever need such a thing in the future. Hopefully it can help. (Also, I realize this sounds like a template, but it's not)--Abusing (talk) 02:01, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

No, I don't think I knew about the Refdesk at that point... now I do :) I probably will need it in the future, since I've got a good three more years of school ahead of me. Thanks for taking the time :) Singlish Speªker 23:05, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Aww...thanks :) (Are you sure it's too much ham and not *ahem* alcohol? lol...) Yah, I got a mp3 player for Christmas, no other presents because it was a little bit expensive, but that's great. I love music. :) Merry Christmas too! Singlish Speªker 06:32, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I have granted rollback rights to your account; the reason for this is that after a review of some of your contributions, I believe you can be trusted to use rollback correctly, and for its intended usage of reverting vandalism, and that you will not abuse it by reverting good-faith edits or to revert-war. For information on rollback, see Misplaced Pages:New admin school/Rollback and Misplaced Pages:Rollback feature. If you do not want rollback, just let me know, and I'll remove it. Good luck and thanks. —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 06:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

  • Oh yeah, Auckland (hehehe...) and Christchurch has nice weather at this time of the year... and we were in Queenstown too, who can miss the jet boats~?! Also, we went for a couple of days farm staying... it was so nice, no Misplaced Pages! *lol* Anyhoo, have fun during your vacation! Be good, yeah? --Dave 18:33, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
Well, I'm back! I just discovered you can't edit Misplaced Pages from a cellphone :P... but I didn't miss broadband as much as I missed my bed and piano. We had a picnic on the wrong side of a waterfall, hanging our feet off the edge (some tourists did a doubletake seeing us crossing the falls from rock to rock with our food!). And did heaps of stuff. NZ is an awesome country. :) I haven't been to the South Island, so there's one more thing I need to do... Singlish Speªker 05:29, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

confirmation edit (ACC)

"...note that you requested an account on the ACC account creation interface..." Yep :) SS✞ 02:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for applying to access the account creation tool. I have approved your request. You may now access the tool here. Before you do so, please read the tool's guide to familiarize yourself with the process. You may also want to join #wikipedia-en-accounts on irc and the mailing list. Keep in mind that the ACC tool is a powerful program, and misuse may result in your access being suspended by a tool administrator. Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions. Thank you for participating in the account creation process. Prodego 02:40, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Well, it was still scarily impressive... I reloaded the page and the reply was there. But then our broadband is running out, so...SS✞ 05:08, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

I think I might be the confused one here...

... I noticed that the reasoning for a speedy deletion was to do an article move, but I rather suspect that the confusion is on my side. What were you trying to achieve? - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 07:37, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

I wanted to move an article from the Misplaced Pages talk namespace to Keisha, so I moved the article already there to Keisha (pornographic actress). Then I realised that now there was a redirect that stopped me from moving Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Keisha (name) to Keisha, and an IP suggested CSD to remove the redirect. Did I do something wrong? Actually, with Keisha this and that, now I'm even more confused than before... SS✞ 07:46, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Ah, I see. Well... I've moved the article and deleted the redirect. Try creating the article now. - Tbsdy (formerly Ta bu shi da yu) 07:59, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Okay, thanks! :) SS✞ 08:05, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
  • It's a good thing you're not back here in Singapore or the new year market at Chinatown is going to tempt you silly with so much Chinese New Year goodies... want some egg-rolls? Or perhaps, you would like to have some pineapple tarts instead? \(^_^)/ --Dave 10:01, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
Pineapple tarts! Yum! We found a Malaysian supermarket near our house, so mostly we're happy... even got frozen durian leh. But some things can only make yourself, like char siew and wontons and stuff like that. But only thing, mooncakes are so expensive, like $6 each...Anyway, 新年快乐! SS✞ 19:58, 3 February 2010 (UTC)
DURIAN LOG CAKE~!
  • 恭喜发财! 新年快乐! 学业进步! 万事如意! Mooncakes? You mean like... it still cost you $6 for a piece right now? It's really cheap back in Singapore, I found a stall here in Chinatown selling them for between $1 to $2 a piece now. BTW, did you know that you could find Durian-flavoured ice-cream in NZ (not far from Wellington Airport) during my vacation? But we gave it a pass because we already had some Durian yule-log cakes before we took off for NZ. 记得：要乖乖哦~！ --Dave 07:05, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Really? Wellington? Durian ice-cream? Now I'm hungry... :'( And mooncakes still cost $6 apiece now... pretty sad, huh? I haven't had one in years... (or chwee kueh for that matter, I've had chee cheong fun, but...)
It was my first day at a new school today, my class is mostly Chinese and Indian, only a couple of ang moh, funnily enough. I've already made quite a few friends... so it is 新年快乐 for me :). Looking forward to a great year, and I hope you have one too :) SS✞ 08:59, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Heh. I just met my science teacher. He's Malaysian and he's teaching us tai chi... lol. He doesn't speak much Chinese though. SS✞ 09:23, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Yep, that's right. And I'm taking Aikido after school as well. I'm in music class right now... meant to be writing a piece for orchestra. Doing research and getting distracted...SS✞ 02:15, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

ACC: Graphics7wp

Hi Singlish speaker. I noticed that you had a problem with creating the above account.

Following further checks, it was decided that the account was not in fact a username violation, so I have created it, and e-mailed the editor to let them know that the account was created.

Although the email address is connected with a blog (graphics7.wordpress.com), this is itself is not a reason for a decline. If the user starts making promotional edits, they can be blocked from editing (and I have them on my watchlist, so I'll keep an eye on it).

I don't know if you have access to IRC, but if you do, you are welcome to join us in the #wikipedia-en-accounts channel, where other members of the ACC team can give advice and help.

The only other advise I would give is to suggest that for a while, whenever you deal with an ACC request, re-read the documentation. I did that for my first dozen or so, and even now, if I'm not sure of something, I'll re-read it!

By the way, don't be put off by this - most of us make mistakes to begin with (my first two were both mistakes!), but you have people to chat with (on IRC) if you want advice and assistance!

Regards, -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 11:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, Steve, thanks :) I need to get my dad to unblock IRC from the filters... How did you manage to create the username? The form just wouldn't let me... SS✞ 21:12, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
When you've done all your checks, and think the account should be created:
  1. Click on the blue Create! button - a new window will open
  2. Do not fill in the password fields. Just make sure that the user name and e-mail addresses are filled in (do not change them!) and untick the "Remember me on this computer" box - and make sure that 'Ignore spoofing checks' is unticked (you can't use that at the moment anyway).
  3. Click on by e-mail - Do not click on Create account - which is what I think you did wrong before.

Also, do not take a request if it's in the Flagged user needed section, only if it's in the top Open requests section. Flagged users are those who have a bit of experience and have asked for (and received) the account creator user right.

With regard to IRC, see if you can access it through java.freenode.net - you just go there, choose a Nickname (using the one you use on ACC might be useful, but it can be anything you like, including your user name here) - and then type wikipedia-en-accounts for the channel - then just click on connect. That should work for you.

Anyway, we look forward to seeing you in IRC when you can get it sorted!

Regards, -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 22:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

No, the form said "username blocked for promotional reasons" or something like that, after I clicked "by email". So I went back and closed it as violating policy, because that's what the form said... Now I"m really confused.

And with regard to IRC: By filter I guess I meant Net Nanny-type software :P... Dad doesn't trust my siblings and I on the Net. SS✞ 23:37, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

I've never seen that message before - and it allowed me to create the account with no problems. If it happens the next time you try to create an account, don't click on "Upolicy". Instead, leave a comment (further down the page, type it into the space and click on 'Quick Reply' and then either click on 'Break reservation' (in which case someone else will deal with it), or 'Defer to flagged users'. If you manage to get access to IRC, then you can ask there instead!
In IRC, we see when a request is made, when it is reserved (or dropped), when a comment is added to the request, and when the request is created/refuse. If you break the reservation (or defer to flagged users), then someone in IRC will take up the reservation - reading any comment you may have left!
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 23:56, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
Okay, thank you so much! I'll keep that in mind :) SS✞ 23:59, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Diminished sixth

Huh thats funny. As I came across this article on new page patrol I idly had my Stratocaster on my lap and was unconsciously tapping the first and second strings in diminshed sixths!! A flat diminished intervals actually! ‡ Himalayan ‡ 02:03, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Lol :D... wait, what's a Stratocaster? Is it like a guitar? Nvm, I just found the article on it. (and from the sound of things, you know more about intervals than I do... could you perhaps fill in the rest of the infobox that I couldn't? That'd be great :) SS✞ 06:33, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

CSD Declined for C.W Davis Middle School

Resolved – 19:39, 17 February 2010 Tbsdy lives (talk · contribs) deleted "C.W Davis Middle School" ‎(A3: Article has no meaningful, substantive content)

Hi! Just to let you know that I have declined speedy deletion for C.W Davis Middle School as the criteria for WP:CSD#A7 specifically does not include schools. I woiuld suggest PROD/AFD/Improve. Stephen! 10:20, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

Yeesh. Thanks. Oops. I was pretty nervous, because I'd tagged a whole bunch for CSD and none were getting deleted... I was pretty much expecting a block for misuse of CSD tags when I logged on just now. :) SS✞ 21:53, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
  • Well, we were all newbie once, take this as a learning experience and you should do just fine. Do drop uncle a note the next time you are unsure about such CSD issues, okay? (PS: How did the CNY celebration go for you? Did you get any 压岁钱?) --Dave 02:13, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

Please don't delete this page. It is for a new music artist who, although he hasn't produced any music to my knowledge, is in preparation of doing so. He is a new upcoming artist, but not necessarily a commercial one. From what I know, he isn't going to sell any of his music or make physical albums, but distribute them as free mp3s on well-known blogs and sites like 'Last.fm'. He is needing this Misplaced Pages Page so he can become known. He is similar to the artist 'Danger' in that he wants to be mysterious and secretive, but instead he wants a Misplaced Pages page. I am a dear friend of Snø, and I'm making this for him as a favour.

I am unsure of this 'notability' you want me to add. I've added references from a friend's blog who is slowly going to leak info about Snø under his permission. Thats enough reference I think.

Snø isn't yet noted for any albums or music just yet. All because he is an emerging music artist. Though on http://headbangersnmash.blogspot.com/2010/04/sn-artist.html it is mentioned that he is currently working on an album 'Submerged'. He isn't an official artist yet, just an experimental one.

Both he, and I would like his page to stay. Thankyou.


I find your reasons for deleting the page to be unjust and unfair. Snø isn't a notable music artist. His intentions are to be a music artist well known on the internet, not via newspaper or producing physical copies of albums. All his albums will be free to download.

He isn't 'notable' yet because he hasn't released any albums just yet. I'll say it again, he is just starting. He doesn't need to have made any albums yet to be on Misplaced Pages. He just wants to be on Misplaced Pages to help with his reputation on the internet.

Please be patient until he releases his album 'Submerged' , and until then, I ask you to not delete his Page.

Speedy deletion nomination of James murphree

Hi, SS. I axed the notification here, but left the header as a placeholder. I think your move and my edit were kind of weirdly timed. I do stuff manually, so when I linked out from page history it went to you on the moved page rather than the original author. I was decidedly confused when I saw the page here and it was obvious you were an experienced editor, and that article didn't fit! Idiosyncracy of the web, I suppose.

Cheers! Bagheera (talk) 06:04, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi! Thanks for clarifying. Not a problem; thanks for patrolling! I rarely create articles, I wish I did, but... SS✞ 06:10, 22 February 2010 (UTC)

Heads up

Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index™ (PCI) has already been created at Ceridian-UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index (PCI). I didn't know what you wanted to do with it so I left it. -- /MWOAP|Notify Me\ 21:45, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for the note. What would your advice be? I still don't think the article is quite ready, but since it's already there...

G. D. Agrawal

speaker, Regarding your {afd} of G. D. Agrawal, you still haven't explained yourself other than mentioning that your computer has filters on it that make it go a bit spastic at times. Regardless of unspecified copyright issues, at your prompting, I have gone through the article to tighten up the english and include more citations.here

Most of the article is paraphrased from the references. Many of the sentences are bound to be similar to their source. If they weren't, the meaning, facts and citations would be inaccurate. The article is now nominated for DYK Template_talk:Did_you_know#Loharinag_Pala_Hydro_Power_Project_.26_G._D._Agrawal. Thank you for your interest.-Marcus334 (talk) 01:45, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I'll try to clarify. The filters mean I couldn't actually go and check the sources, but a cursory google search led me to believe several sentences were directly identical to the top few results. This concerned me, but because I could not verify a complete copyright violation, I decided not to do CSD. It is a well written article, I was just doing my usual check and it happened to alarm me. Thanks for the polite, clear response. SS✞ 05:37, 4 March 2010 (UTC)

Heh. I'd go with 新语, because it is an amalgamation of a few languages... Out of curiosity, where'd you come across my username? :) (Kinda ironic, actually, that if you look at my babel userboxes, I'm only an en-sg 2.5... ) SS✞ 01:06, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Oh! Kay!

I never knew you worked on enWP too! Remember me, Belinda? In simple english wikipedia? I just came, new, to wikipedia, and I have a lot of questions. Thankyou for welcoming me, by the way. :) I hope I can see you around here often! Belinda ♥ 06:31, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

Thankyou for the kind advice, SSK, but I tried it and it doesn't work. When I click it, it says, "This page is currently semi-protected and can be edited only by established registered users." I'm already registered, aren't I? :S well, anyway, I'm sorry for spamming your talk page with these tiresome questions! Belinda ♥ 06:34, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh, right. Well, you're not confirmed yet. Confirmed is when you've been here 4 days and have 10 edits, because on enWP lots of new accounts are made just to vandalise. Also, you may want to wander around Special:RecentChanges with Twinkle for a little bit so people feel more comfortable giving you rollback- they like to see experience with vandals. Rollback here is a lot more powerful, not intentionally, but simply because Huggle is easy to use here.
Also... :) enWP is my main wiki, but I find seWP a good place to stop and breathe. It's like living in a very busy city and going out to the countryside every weekend- a lovely change of pace. It's a much more vibrant atmosphere but I think I will probably still edit here more, because I"m a city girl- I love the busy pace and passing more strangers than friends.
Anyway. Any questions, feel free to ask. Just- please take care with the Christian stuff, and your loveliness- some users here are a bit cautious of people who are "too" friendly. SS✞ 06:39, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Oh! Okay, I will be careful. This place is much more sensitive than seWP, I see :). Thankyou for your advice, and the kind compliment. I'm not lovely at all! I hope I can be of some help around here. Belinda ♥ 06:42, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
Ehh-- not sensitive, per se. Just- more city-like. You can skip down the road or sing randomly in public in the country without anyone giving you strange looks, because they know you and love you. But in the city, you'll get plenty of strange looks, and some people might even call a hospital. Because there's more nasty people in the city, there's also more police, and people are more concerned about their own safety. But it's a great place to live because there's more shops and things to do, and more facilities.
You shouldn't find any lack of things to do here, it's so busy. I would suggest New Page Patrol or Articles for Creation, once you are confirmed-- you may enjoy Motto of the day as well. Have fun! P.S. Sorry for being a bit negative, I just feel a bit protective of such a lovely soul- yes, you are lovely! SS✞ 06:50, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

BLOCKED

Hi Kay~! Don't worry about the title, it wasn't you who got blocked... but rather, it was your school's IP that got blocked for three years due to recurring silly vandalism edits, please see → User talk:203.152.105.17 ←. Take care, yeah~!? (PS: Apologies... Uncle Dave is dirt tired after a long night shift... and wanted to play a trick on you before he hits the sack~!) --Dave 04:13, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Aiyoh, why you scare me like that? :) It's all good, I'm kinda glad it's blocked. Sleep well! I have some tests and papers due in the next 2 weeks, and I also have to teach a seminar on poetry... so tired... right now I'm working on music homework- I've written 10 pages of music so far. (To any admin out there reading this-- block me till the end of March, please!! I have work but no self-control...) SS✞ 05:10, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Hey there, you might want to try this out, since admins don't tend to block on request. :) Set Sail For The Seven Seas 188° 12' 30" NET 12:32, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
Thanks, that's what I've done. But if you look at the contribs of this IP, I haven't been able to stay away altogether... :P 118.93.170.113 (talk) 05:25, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

The MOTD Needs You!

April Fool's Day is round the corner, but alas! We have reached no consensus, yet. Only yours truly and pjoef have commented, and that is not fast enough at all! Please go to Misplaced Pages:Motto of the day/Nominations/Specials to comment about the April Fool's Day mottos. We cannot leave a redlink on the MOTD templates, especially on such an important day! All the best, Kayau Voting IS evil 01:47, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Badly behaved new user Zimzam9191

I note you picked up on the new page, Hmmm, created by this vandal. I've cleaned up a few other misdemeanours of his, but note that he has also created Category:Doodle berry pie. It's rubbish. As a less experienced user I'm not sure what to do about such a creation. Over to you. HiLo48 (talk) 07:43, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello, thanks for cleaning up after . I wouldn't really say you're any less experienced, given you've got nearly as many edits as me. But I'll report them to AIV. Thanks for the heads-up. SS✞ 07:48, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Whoops. May have posted a bit but I messed up that post. I tried to tell you that Zimzam9191 has also created a new category - Doodle berry pie. But I note you've now already been there too. :-) HiLo48 (talk) 07:55, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Oh, right... you added my talk page to the category :P Next time you link to a category, do add a : at the front, like so: ]. (I only learnt that pretty recently...) SS✞ 07:58, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
Ah. Sorry. I learn something new every day here! HiLo48 (talk) 07:59, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Hello Singlish speaker. Thanks for your kind help here. Have a good day, and good luck at school :)) --Vejvančický (talk) 10:04, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation

Your nomination at Articles for Creation was declined, and Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Noah Lott was not created.

Thank you for your contributions to Misplaced Pages!  Chzz  ►  11:42, 8 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure. AfC helper flip-up, I assume. SS✞ 04:40, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Auckland Misplaced Pages Meetup

Just saw your comment which indicates you are underaged and won't be able to attend if meeting venue is at a pub (unless accompanied by parent/guardian). Will you be allowed to attend (by parents) IF it is at a cafe? Linnah (talk) 00:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, the pub's a bit problematic because my parents are already paranoid about me and online stuff- in a cafe I should be allowed. If not, I'll talk my way into it somehow :) (Which may involve my dad sitting at the next table or something like that, knowing him.) I am looking forward to it though. SS✞ 03:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
Venue = Auckland Central City Library on Lorne St. Misplaced Pages:Meetup/Auckland 5 page updated. Linnah (talk) 23:08, 18 April 2010 (UTC)
Great! That'll be less problematic, because I bus there by myself every now and then anyway. Cheers, SS✞ 03:07, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
.
Note:
If your parent/guardian with to join us, s/he is more than welcome to. The meetup is open to all. Perhaps attending will enable them to have a feel of what the meetup is like and may be more likely to allow you to attend future WP meetups unchaperoned. We don't mind. The more the merrier. They don't have to contribute/participate to the discussion. It isn't unusual for parents to worry. There's a lot of unsavoury stuff going on out there amongst the good stuff. We hope you can joins us. - Linnah (talk) 15:34, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
Oops, didn't see this. Thanks, anyway, and I'll let them know. SS✞ 22:42, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

AfC

Kay, we don't have to hold submissions like Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Melodie and Sarah- no sources is grounds for a quick-fail. In this case, I went ahead and declined it because after reading it's either a joke or a hoax (or written by The Doctor- note the part about being released in 3000). Good work, but there was nothing to be gained holding onto this one waiting for sources. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 08:56, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

Okay, sorry. I was about to leave a thanks note at your userpage, but you beat me to it. I feel kind of stupid now- I just saw "Oh, very short, I'll hold it." without actually reading it. Lesson for next time, I guess. Thanks again. Question- what about Misplaced Pages talk:Articles for creation/Kayla Whale? I wasn't entirely sure if it was a hoax, so I held it. SS✞ 09:01, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
That one's trickier. The only information I cna find about a Kayla Whale is actually covered, right here at Misplaced Pages, at Kayla_(whale)#Kayla, but it is about an individual animal, not a species. In this case, all the sources given I'm able to resolve talk about Killer whales, and not about a "Kayla Whale"... whatever that is. I'd let this one sit for now, but would be ready to decline it at the 24 hour mark- I'm 65% sure it's deeply problematic. (Given the biology specialists on Misplaced Pages, imagining a species of whale we don't have an article on somewhere is rather difficult.) Bradjamesbrown (talk) 09:14, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for confirming. SS✞ 09:19, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
Anytime. :) Bradjamesbrown (talk) 09:28, 19 April 2010 (UTC)
