Heyy! Can you please restore ] page in my personal space, so I could continue improving it until it's ready to be published again? Thanks! --] (]) 16:00, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
I'm quite certain there are older revisions of the talk page for this article - could you restore these as part of the userification?

***It's kind of hard for me to check that given that I can't see deleted revisions. All I can say is that it seems you now deleted the latest revisions (the ones that were there before I made this request). ] (]) 21:14, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

***** You're probably right - I now think what was there before was simply an old revision that had been restored by the other administrator, not a new one. ] (]) 21:42, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
Also, I would like to clarify that I wasn't attacking anyone - merely stating my opinion (perhaps a bit harshly). ] (]) 20:57, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
*You labelled everyone you disagreed with in a way designed to devalue their opinions. This is utterly unacceptable and won't be tolerated the next time if I'm around DRV. You can disagree with someone without calling them names and you are lucky I was on a wikibreak as I would have closed the DRV out of hand. Please don't do it again. Users who challenge XFD outcomes need a neutral supportive place to work through the deletion and if we haven't lost them after the XFD we will have after an agreesive DRV. Thanks. ] <sup>'']''</sup> 21:05, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
**While there isn't much point in arguing about this now, I would like to note that I did not in fact call anyone names at all - the so-called attack that was referred to on that page was something else entirely. ] (]) 21:09, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
***Some of your labels - "the delete crowd" * "deletionist bias" * "You're clearly a deletionist" * " you can see that anyone who doesn't want this article restored doesn't want to follow Misplaced Pages policy" - All of these are polemic statements that add no value to the discussion and just make you look strident and agressive. You can surely express yourself as clearly without needing to be so dismissive of those you disagree with?? ] <sup>'']''</sup> 21:18, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
****Given the number of essays on the subject, I thought calling people "deletionists" wasn't considered an attack at all (and the latter statement obviously isn't an attack). If there's some policy against this that I'm not aware of, I'd appreciate you providing me with a link to it. ] (]) 21:22, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
*****You are right about that and in retrospect I shouldn't have used the term attack on the close. I have therefore removed the comment with my apologies. That said, it was labelling and that can be just as bad. I firmly believe that labelling people you disagree with isn't acceptable as it cheapens and coarsens the discussion and raises the temperature unnecesserily - and frankly adds no value. ] <sup>'']''</sup> 21:30, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
******I appreciate the removal of that statement. I do see your point despite not fully agreeing with it, and as I stated below, I will try to be less aggressive in similar future discussions. ] (]) 21:42, 28 September 2013 (UTC)
**I'll definitely try to be less aggressive next time, though. ] (]) 21:10, 28 September 2013 (UTC)

Hello Spartaz, Thank you for your help and your advices. As you noticed it, english is not my first language and I am French. Callicore is french too but works with english and amercican artists, that's why I try to write the article on english Misplaced Pages. I tried before on french wikipedia where the "admission criterion" was ok about the webby Award and the nomination Grammy Awards 2009 as co-editor and illustrator. But it wasn't enough because they seems don't really know what was a Weebby Awards, a Grammy, ... And how famous it is. So they suggest me to add more sources even if the Webby was enougt. Then I tried the english way (what i am doing right now) and hope you see and undertand what i am talking about :-) I gonna ask "The French wikiproject" for help. And thank for trying to correct my terrible english on my user page it was very nice, I am sure it wasn't easy!

What again?

I'm a long term user (first edit 2006) and have been an admin on or off since 2007. When we first started there was so much idealism and we really had no strong policies about inclusion except a desire to have some level of sourcing. As time moved on we became more structured and around the time I became an admin in 2007 we were grappling with the concept of collapsing non notable articles into lists which I was at the forefront of as a regular afd closer and constant presence at DRV. I had a lot of patience once and for that reason was regular DRV closer for a long time after GR Berry left the project. Sadly, my patience was degraded over time and getting involved in the PORNBIO wars pretty much washed out a lot of the good faith that policy and courtesy quite rightly requires us to show. This was again a major change in our approach to content and one of the first SNGs that was deprecated in favour of a more rigid approach to proper sourcing. Since then our content in this area has become much better and we are seeing similar struggles now in the sports arena where SNGs are slowly giving way to GNG level standards.

I have always taken a very legalistic approach to closing discussions that I recognise does not fit well to the current community standard, where low participation level allowing more brigading of votes or allowing more non-policy based arguments. For this reason I'm not really closing discussions but will still happily review old closes. Otherwise I mostly review and nominate unsuitable content as a BLP is a serious matter and needs to be properly sourced.

i am willing to userfy deleted articles for improvement as long as there is a reasonable likelihood that they can be saved. If you are challenging a deletion, do you have three good sources?

Useful Links:

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team

ArbCom 2024 Elections voter message

Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 00:15, 19 November 2024 (UTC)
