List of songs that have been considered among the greatest ever

I've nominated it for deletion again. As a previous participant in the debate I thought you'd be interested. Duggy 1138 08:14, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Leyasu

Excuse me, but could you explain to me the precise reason of his/her banning? --Baxtaba 12:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Idont Havaname mentions this on Misplaced Pages:Requests_for_arbitration#Deltabeignet.

I actually came here to thank you for your comment there, and to clarify some misunderstandings. Since the RfA page is not a discussion page I'm writing this here; please feel free to move this to a more appropriate place if you're aware of one.

• There is no "dispute between Deltabeignet and SebastianHelm". Deltabeignet admitted to having disrupted Misplaced Pages for three months, and all I did was to bring it to the attention of the authorities. Please apply WP:FAITH and don't put me in a pigeon hole. That said, I realize that I probably have been more emotional than what would have been wise when I brought up the case; please understand that I am really frustrated to be reporting what I consider a crime and nobody has acted on it for two days so far.
• Leyasu has not been involved in any revert war with me. As to the revertions you cite, these were clearly well intended revertions of perceived vandalism. (It is unfortunately that Leyasu uses adolescent emotional macho language, but I don't see that in itself as a reason for banning him. In the contrary, if you compare with its reversion , it is Deltabeignet who wrote the more inappropriate and misleading edit summary.) — Sebastian 18:54, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

On the articles about rapcore, Limp Bizkit and Fred Durst, a certain LUCPOL was much more lucky. Moreover, if Leyasu used "adm language", Lucpol's problem was his broken English (but I finally agreed with him). --Baxtaba 21:22, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Now those questions are over. I've reached some compromises with Lucpol about the positions of the words "nu metal" and "rapcore", and some admins have helped us to correct that articles in order to eschew edit wars. They were only grammar and genre importance problems, but much less dangerous than yours as so as I can see. --Baxtaba 22:48, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Carol Banawa

Thanks so much for helping me through the process. I'm just new here. It's a good thing you helped me. About Carol, I don't think she's planning further releases since she's already in the States.

Thanks again, --Slickdeejay (Talk) 21:36, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Deltabeignet

There is an ongoing discussion on User_talk:Deltabeignet#WP:RFAR.23Deltabeignet, which you may find interesting.

I also have a minor request: Could you please change "dispute between Deltabeignet and SebastianHelm" (in WP:RFAR#Deltabeignet) to something like "this case". You could say I'm grilling him, but this is not a dispute between the two of us, as Deltabeignet confirmed in his statement. Thank you! — Sebastian 06:00, 13 December 2006 (UTC)    (I stopped watching this page. If you would like to continue the talk, please do so here and ping me.)

Category:African American basketball players nominated for CfD

Hello there,

I noticed your note on the category in question. Agreeing with it wholeheartedly, I nominated it for deletion. If you would like to voice your opinion on it, you can go there.--Thomas.macmillan 00:41, 15 December 2006 (UTC)Jaime Navarr

On December 19, 2006, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Mary Fahl, which you created. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Not a problem at all. I had many such mishaps in the past myself. Thanks for your work. Blnguyen (bananabucket) 07:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Deltabeignet arbitration

Thanks for commenting on some of my Workshop proposals in the case involving Deltabeignet. I appreciated your additions as well.

(FYI, when agreeing with another person's proposal, I think the usual procedure is to put "Endorse" (or, contrarily, "Oppose") before signing. Not that it's worth going back and changing in this case, which looks like it's maybe about to wrap up.)

Regards and Happy New Year. Newyorkbrad 05:16, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your support on my RfA, which closed favorably this morning, as well as for your kind comments accompanying your !vote. I appreciate the confidence the community has placed in me and am looking forward to my new responsibilities. Please let me know if ever you have any comments or suggestions, especially as I am learning how to use the tools. Best regards, Newyorkbrad 18:48, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Nominate school for AfD?

Hello, I see you've written an essay on your user page about school notability. I've nominated dozens of articles for AfD, but I try to avoid it if I think it won't succeed. So here's an unclear case: Eastlake Middle School. The content is totally underwhelming, but a school is a school. What do you think? Should I nominate it? (If the answer is yes, you can nominate it yourself. I don't care either way.) YechielMan 02:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks. I checked the list of school deletions that you gave me. Interestingly, the last two months had a preponderance of deletions for middle schools (Ctrl-F for "middle"), but there were a lot of keeps before that. For now, I'll leave it alone. Note that Bonita Vista Middle School is in the same boat as Eastlake. YechielMan 19:17, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

On 23 February, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article ProSlide, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

--Yomangani 23:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

That information was reported by several local news sources in the Las Vegas area. I have not heard anything differently as of 930 pm tonight.

link add request

dude (or dudette) you may recall me wanting to add links for a web site i'm affiliated with in the wikipedia section for the Chicago Bulls. you denied me at that time, it was a good few months ago.

however if you look at this site you'll notice we're rated the #1 basketball site around:

http://www.top100basketballsites.com/in.php?site=202

i'd appreciate you adding www.ebsports.net to your 'NBA' page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/National_Basketball_Association

Lists should be categories

Since you are an administrator, I thought I would ask you if there is a policy or guideline that states lists should be deleted in favor of categorizing their contents? Misplaced Pages:Categories, lists, and series boxes, a guideline, seems to state that lists, categories and series boxes are to be used in synergy with eachother. It says nothing about deleting one in favor of the other. Since you advanced this argument at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of rhythm guitarists, and since policy at WP:Deletion#Deletion_discussion states "These processes are not decided through a head count, so participants should explain their opinion and refer to policy", I'm requesting information about the policy or guideline you derived this understanding from. Thank you very much. (Mind meal 03:30, 27 July 2007 (UTC))

Hi, I have a question

I'm not ready for the commitment of a username. I kind of like being an anonymous contributer. Sometime, I'm sure I'll come around. In the meantime, I want to find out who else has been making edits with my IP. I don't want my IP banned. You warned my IP about some edits to Pat Robertson, Minnesota and some other articles. I would like to see what edits were made. Is there a way to do this? Could you leave a response on the talk page for my IP? Thank you.

Amusement park project importance assessment

WikiProject roller coasters

Hi there, just to let you know that WP:ROCO has been given an overhaul. As you are listed as a participant, I just thought I'd let you know that there's a new to-do section and much clearer guidelines for roller coaster articles. Hope to see you over there!

WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, December 2007

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue I - December 2007 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the new WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! Until now, in spite of a decent number of members signed up to the WikiProject, we have had no regular progress updates or information as to how much of a difference our contributions are making. This monthly newsletter aims to provide an overview of all the work that is being done behind the scenes and to celebrate the successes that would otherwise pass by unseen. Any suggestions for future additions and general help with the newsletter will be greatly appreciated.
Articles and Assessment As can be seen on the assessment page, we are so close to finishing off assessment. If all current members of the WikiProject assessed just 2 articles, the backlog of unassessed-quality articles would be eliminated. The vast majority of articles are currently assessed as stubs, which is probably to be expected as many contain an infobox and nothing else. Getting these up to start-class is incredibly easy, many simply need references and tidying up. Even if you have very little knowledge on the article subject, this task should be fairly straightforward and is the first step in raising overall article quality. The following articles reached B-class quality during November: Speed Monster
Amusement Park Portal The Amusement Park Portal is now automatically linked to from the roller coaster infoboxes. It's important to remember that we need to integrate our articles with those covered by the Amusement Park WikiProject. When working on a roller coaster article, it's always a good idea to ensure that there is a wikilink from the relevant amusement park article, otherwise no-one will even know the article exists!
Membership News During November the WikiProject was joined by 3 new members, bringing the total number up to 49. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
B-class Drive Just to get the idea out there, I'd like to propose a monthly article drive. With the poor state of most of the articles, it's unreasonable to suggest even a GA-drive, so a B-class drive would be more realistic. Any suggestions for January's article can be brought up on the WikiProject Talk Page. Suggested articles should be presently at start or stub class and have sufficient reliable sources available to work from.
...and finally... Thanks for reading, any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Have a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter, January 2008

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue II - January 2008 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the second WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! December has seen some real progress in terms of bringing up the quality of roller coaster related articles on Misplaced Pages. Assessment and tagging of articles is almost completely done and efforts are now being focussed on quality and improving articles. This month also sees the start of the new B-class drive, a brilliant way to get involved with the WikiProject and achieve something together.
Articles and Assessment As far as assessment goes, the backlog from last month was cleared almost immediately after the last newsletter went out, almost single-handedly by Alton! A progress chart can be seen on the assessment page that shows we are slowly dragging up the quality of the articles covered by the WikiProject. The following articles reached B-class quality during December: Griffon (roller coaster)  • Magnum XL-200  • Maverick (roller coaster)  • Nemesis (roller coaster)  • SheiKra
Amusement Parks Portal The Amusement Parks Portal has been significantly expanded over the past month and is currently a candidate for featured portal. Any suggestions for featured articles and pictures can be put forward on their respective sections.
Membership News During December the WikiProject was joined by 2 new members, bringing the total number up to 49 after 2 inactive users were removed from the member list. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments.
B-class Drive This month's B-class Drive: Arrow Dynamics So here is the first article improvement drive for the WikiProject, Arrow Dynamics. There isn't a huge amount that needs doing apart from the addition of references, formatting and a copyedit. For any outstanding contributions there are barnstars available which can be given to and by anyone! Any suggestions for February's B-class Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.
...and finally... Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated.

The Roller Coaster WikiProject Newsletter
The WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter Issue III - February 2008 Got any suggestions? - Add them here
Welcome! Welcome to the WikiProject Roller Coasters Newsletter! January has seen a number of milestones being passed in the WikiProject. We've achieved our first good article, brought a portal up to featured portal status and successfully collaborated together on the first Article Improvement Drive, amongst other achievements. Let's carry on with the good work and continue bringing up the standard of all articles covered by the WikiProject!
Articles and Assessment We hit a milestone in January with our first GA-class article, Speed Monster! This shows just how easy it is improve articles by including references and increasing readability. Collaboration has got off to a good start, with the first chosen article, Arrow Dynamics, improving enough to reach B-class. The following articles reached GA-class or B-class quality during January: Speed Monster  • Arrow Dynamics  • Bolliger & Mabillard
Amusement Parks Portal The Amusement Parks Portal reached featured portal status during January! You can still nominate articles for the selected content sections on the portal.
Membership News During January the WikiProject was joined by 6 new members, bringing the total number up to 55. A very warm welcome to Etf, CPGACoast, RickMarkestein, Emackert, Onewayroad2home and Suttna08. The to do list continues to serve as a place for flagging up articles in need of attention, review or comments. A discussion is taking place regarding the best way to organise information about roller coaster records and the history of roller coasters. All members' opinions are welcomed; the discussion can be found here.
Article Improvement Drive This month's Article Improvement Drive: Roller coaster Why not start at the top?! The main article is already at B class and, with a little help, isn't too far away from GA class. Please see the collaboration page for further information. Any suggestions for March's Article Improvement Drive can be brought up on the talk page, so if there's a particular article you feel could benefit from more input then feel free to suggest it.
...and finally... Once again, thanks for reading! As always suggestions and offers of help are much appreciated.

Proposed deletion of ThouShaltNot

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article ThouShaltNot, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Notification of pending suspension of administrative permissions due to inactivity

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in more than one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Misplaced Pages:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e. as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised, that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions, and that you have not been inactive for a three-year period of time). If you remain inactive for a three-year period of time, including the present year you have been inactive, you will need to request reinstatement at WP:RFA. This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
