Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of songs with a color word(s) in their names

Hi, I appreciate your point re this list, but it seems to me to be a pity to delete a page into which so much effort has gone (even though that effort might have been more useful elsewhere). So I'm asking editors if they can rethink and factor that in - I appreciate they may well reach the same conclusion even after a rethink :-) Dlyons493 Talk

Misplaced Pages is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Didn't any of the editors take the time to think about the point of this page? What is its encyclopedic value? I can see a value in trivia pub quiz-type affairs but nothing encyclopedic. I doesn't appear that the article has changed significantly in the last few hours for me to change my opinion. Even if the article was split in to its consistiuent colours, what purpose would those nine daughter pages serve? I don't think that this is encyclopedic in any form.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  15:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Deleting duplicate article

Hi, I know you're busy, but thank you for deleting a duplicate article. I forgot the name of it. Cheers. --Starionwolf 21:51, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Erm, that's ok! Thank you for saying thanks, it is much appreciated.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  22:05, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for reverting the vandalism to my user page. IrishGuy talk 19:51, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem, glad to be able to help you out!  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  19:52, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

I learned something today...

On the VALIS(Band) member related wikisites you showed me something I was searching for. The notability tag vs. the speedy delete (db) one. Sometimes I think it should be db rather than AfD but here now is another way to give a bit more time when it seems appropriate. Thanks! Lsjzl 20:36, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your kind words! I am glad that someone can learn something from my actions as an admin. If you want to see more useful tags for reviewing new articles, please look at Misplaced Pages:Template messages for a host of useful ideas and information.

DVD+R/W's RfA

Also, if there is anything I am doing wrong, please point that out as well. I look forward to working with you in the future. Highest regards, DVD+ R/W 02:24, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

User:24.50.14.61

Hello! I have blocked this user for forty-eight hours, as per your request on WP:AIV.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  19:47, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you :) --D-Day 20:03, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

AfD decision for November 22, 1963

Hi there. I noticed you closed this article's AfD with the "redirect" result. However, from 6 votes, 3 asked for the redirect to be created, and 3 asked for the deletion. Sorry for asking, but did I miss something? I thought policy asked for further discussion in these cases. JoaoRicardo 23:32, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I used Rough consensus from the Admin deletion guidelines as my guide. Looking at the results, the debate was either to delete the page or to convert it in to a redirect - nobody wanted to keep the material. As I had participated in the discussion, I looked again at the nature of the page and the debate on AfD to determine which course of action to take. I took the view that the author was clearly looking to discuss the Kennedy assassination but had failed to do so in an adequate manner. Whilst I agree with NawlinWiki's comment that other important events aren't described in articles titled according to the date of the event, I thought that this date would be significant for the most recent three-or-four generations of Misplaced Pages users. Because of this, a redirect appeared to be an easier option than a deletion and with my change of mind a rough consensus was achieved, hence the decision.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  07:56, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I understand your position now. Thank you for clarifying me. :) JoaoRicardo 18:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandal

Thankyou kitten. I'll watch for anymore edits to the page. Good work! Have a hug xxx — Preceding unsigned comment added by HawkerTyphoon (talk • contribs)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/University of Sagar

Hi, I'm recreating this as suggested by American Patriot 1776. Universities are intrinsically notable. Dlyons493 Talk

That's fine. Bear in mind the copyvio comments; the notable status of the institution is not in dispute.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  21:23, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

VandalProof login failiure

Hi Aeropagitica, I don't know if you saw my message on the VP message board. You need to download VandalProof 121.exe from the download page. You need version 1.2.1. Just copy the new .exe over the old one. Bye --Starionwolf 04:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! I did see your message and I have now copied the new .exe over, as you suggested. VandalProof now lets me log in on either the first or the second go and works quite nicely once it has done so! Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  05:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandal revert

Thanks for the revert on my user page. I'm not sure I would have even caught it, at least not right away. --Firsfron of Ronchester 06:23, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. The vandal is now temporarily blocked for this and other vandal attacks. Let's hope that they either reform or go elsewhere.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  06:26, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

University of Sagar on DRV

Hi (aeropagitica)! Thanks for closing the AfD for this article. However, I have doubts about the decision reached, and have listed it on deletion review. Regards, Kimchi.sg 08:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! If you look at User_talk:(aeropagitica)#Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion.2FUniversity_of_Sagar, you will see that Dlyons493 is going to recreate the article minus the copyrighted material that brought it to AfD in the first place.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  10:53, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Oops! I did not see that section until too late. I have withdrawn the DRV. Regards, Kimchi.sg 11:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem, nice to see that you are following policy and procedure, especially as you are going for admin status at the moment!  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  15:32, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Vandalproof

Apparently the tool still has some bugs in it. — Jun. 19, '06 <freak|talk>

Yes, many apologies for the warning being placed on to your Talk page, we both reverted the same vandal and you got there before me. All corrected manually now!  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  21:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Just don't accidentally block me and I won't get too upset. — Jun. 23, '06 <freak|talk>

AOL blocks

You've just blocked two AOL ips for a month, please reconsider and reset your blocks on AOLs, fifteen minutes is usually sufficent as they rarely use any one ip for more than fifteen minutes. --Alf 05:40, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, I will change this block due to the nature of AOL access to the Internet.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  05:56, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Global warming

Hello and thanks for your e-mail! I'm glad that you sorted out the problem with your computer and can now see the images on the above article. Regards,  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  22:13, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for bothering aeropagitica, the problem was involving zone alarms's ad-blocking feature. (Z_E_U_S)

The AFD on Eon Blue Apocalypse

The Article as been blanked, can it be deleted since it is going to have consenus to delete? Aeon 23:07, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

The article was blanked by an anonymous IP address. If they wanted to register their opinion then they should have done so on the AfD rather than vandalise the article-in-question. I have reverted their vandalism and left a message to this effect on their Talk page. The AfD may be relisted because of a lack of votes or closed as a delete consensus by the closing admin. In either case, when the consensus is not a speedy delete, the process takes five Calendar days from the point of the AfD starting.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  05:42, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks I wasn't sure on the proper way to go about that Aeon 05:49, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Speedman

Pardon me, but I would like to dispute your delete reason that Speedman was not notable in that it was published in black belt magazine. Please email the http://www.thespeedman.com/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by Massiveego (talk • contribs)

Please discuss your reasons for keeping this article at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Speedman.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  08:07, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Dotmatrixx

I can't see why wikipedia.org/Dottmatrixx can;t be added. They are an up and coming band in Australia, have 3 releases, signed to an Independent electro/synth label and planning a European tour. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Blackserenity (talk • contribs)

Did you read WP:Music? The article doesn't present any evidence that the band has fulfilled the notability criteria for an article on Misplaced Pages - one charting indie-label album; two charting major-label albums; charting singles; notable members or major tours. The Myspace page is adequate for this band at this time.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  13:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

A short Esperanzial update

As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on the Esperanza talk page as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended. See what happened. Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace JoanneB and Pschemp and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on 2006-07-02 and last until 2006-07-09. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before 2006-07-02. For more details, see Misplaced Pages:Esperanza/June 2006 elections.

Thanks and kind, Esperanzial regards, —Celestianpower 16:00, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Nii just won't lie down

Hi, I noticed in AfD today Nii Ahene was speedily dispatched. Well, he's back, identical article to last time. Wasn't sure what to do, but I guess you will. So... there you go! :-) --DaveG12345 18:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

OK, It looks from the history of the article that it has been posted to the userpage of User:Uberrascht and then deleted by RHaworth, so that should be an end to it. Thanks for letting me know!  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  19:52, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

WP:AID

I'm not sure if you've voted at WP:AID before, but I just noticed that when you did, you forgot to update the deadline for one of the projects. You may want to read WP:AID#How to vote to educate yourself on how the deadlines, etc. work for WP:AID. —Mets501 (talk) 16:47, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

No, you're right! I haven't voted on WP:AID before and I thought that I had read all of the rules. Many thanks for pointing this out to me, much appreciated.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  18:55, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

No problem. —Mets501 (talk) 19:42, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Account Deletion

I wish to have my Misplaced Pages account deleted. Is that possible? Paulus Caesar 18:36, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

You need to read Misplaced Pages:Account_deletion#Deleting_your_user_account for details.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  18:54, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

So you can't change my username and make me "vanish"? I have to go through some kind of process? Paulus Caesar 02:38, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Neo-Nazism

Regarding the article Neo-Nazism, specifically the part about Croatia.... I'm involved in an edit war with an IP address. I reverted some of his edits, as what i saw on the talk page convinced me that the article wasn't NPOV. I've read into the matter somewhat, and I'm rather convinced it isn't. I removed the offending paragraphs, but the IP address added them back. I left notes on his talk page, but He doesn't seem to reply. he mentions on my talk page the Concensus and Community are meaningless, and when I tried to meet him half way, by applying an 'unbalanced' tag but leaving the paragraphs in, he removes it. Any suggestions? I think we'd both appreciate your input! HawkerTyphoon 20:00, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello! Edit wars are a bad thing here on the English Misplaced Pages and the three revert rule is a policy designed to eliminate them. The edit history of Neo-Nazism indicates that you have clearly broken this rule within a 24-hour period. By rights, I should block you and the offending IP address for this violation. I notice that you have attempted to resolve the dispute on Talk:Neo-Nazism, which is a good thing. As this hasn't worked so far, I will encourage you to take the next step and go on with negotiation in order to build consensus. Mediation might be better in this instance - I leave the choice up to you. I will report the 3RR violations on the administrators' noticeboard to bring this to the attention of the administrator community and hopefully prevent this from reoccuring.  (aeropagitica)  (talk)  22:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Cicero's Pizza

Hi, I was just wondering if you'd revisit your vote on the VFD for Cicero's Pizza. You state that you don't believe it meets the requirements of WP:CORP however evidence to the contrary has been presented on both the article page and the VFD. Cicero's Pizza does infact meet WP:CORP requirement 1A and is considered a notable business as serveral non directory, or business produced news articles from independent sources have been written about the establishment.

Help pls

Hi ... I'm a bit new here and I need some assistance!!! Would you have a look at this article ... I've tried to be friendly, and would appreciate anyone(!!) else's oppinion.
