== Re: Forbes Wild Foods Page == | |||
I just spent a short while creating a page for Forbes Wild Foods. I am curious why it is that multinational companies are allowed space to give information about the company( i.e. dell computers or Coca-Cola) but if something that doesn’t have the size or history puts up a page it is marked for deletion. no where on the page are their any leads to the company or any indication that it sells anything. it is about Canadian wild foods and as Forbes wild foods is the leading Canadian wild food company and is connected to such movements as the slow food movement it deserves its place in the public encyclopedia. This seems to be two sided and unfair particularly when as much of Forbes wild foods is about the education of food stuffs as is the selling. | |||
] | |||
no sales leads or links to how to buy the food where places in , references to other companies in the same boat are there . this is not publicity but an actual company that exists in the real world and has as much right to have space on wikipidia as any other corporation that has grown large enough to make its own publicity and history appear to be worth of an encyclopedic entry. | |||

The students learn new technique's through lectures and large and small ensembles. The students study broken consorts of viols and recorders. There is a large library available full of music for students to play. | |||
Congratulations on your recent ] of the ]. I offer to you a few words of wisdom: | |||
Camp Barracudas | |||
*Start slowly and carefully. There's a huge temptation to start flying through your new duties as soon as the 'crat ] - resist it. Avoid close calls for your first week or two, and leave it to those who happened to get their tools a little earlier than you. | |||
For the past 15 years the Barracudas summer camp have been providing day camps. The Barracudas were started in 1992 as two very small summer camps that have grown to 27 camp locations. The camp is for children aged 4 1/2 - 16 years. The camp runs from Monday 31st July - Friday 25th August 2006. | |||
*Be sure to connect in with other users on ], if you can. There's a whole pool of channels there where you can get assistance in your newly-acquired buttons, and get your new ] used to your name. | |||
*Be ready for criticism in your first few weeks, but at the same time don't be a push-over. If you feel worried over a decision, get another user to take a look at it. | |||
*When blocking, ask yourself if everything you've entered into that form will benefit Misplaced Pages: is the block length sufficiently long to prevent further disruption by a vandal, or is it so long that it will put them off ever returning? Is your protection just going to be a minor hiccup in the edit warrior's grand scheme of disruption, or will it hinder the growth of the encyclopedia? | |||
Best of luck with your new buttons, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries. | |||
St. George's School, Ascot is a camp location with a variety of activities for children to enjoy. The school has a small camp of around 100 children and 12 instructors who work together in small groups on activities that range from baseball and basketball to video film making and volleyball. The school has facilities that include: a sports hall, a heated outdoor swimming pool, a motor sports track, tennis courts, arts and craft room, archery range, playing fields, and a dining room. In addition to the regular camp activities there are several special intensive courses that include: fencing, football, motor sports, swimming and tennis. The intensive courses are aimed at building confidence and improving the skill level of each child. | |||

Young Leadership Camp | |||
Sir Trevor Brooking is opening the Football Association Young Leadership Camp. The camp will improve leadership and team building skills for 100 top football athletes. The national Football Association staff will teach players how to coach and referee, sports science, goalkeeping, disability football and the new and exciting game of 5-a-side called futsal. The top three athletes will be eligible to train internationally in Botswana in the international placement programme. | |||

First off congrats on becoming an admin. I notice someone else has already deleted the article as I am writing this so it probably moot (sorry about delay) but... I would probably have deleted the article personally as I think the intent of 'planted the church' is so unclear as to be probable nonsense or just that he is the elder at that church. Nothing else in the article strikes me as an assertion of notability. Of course if he had actually 'planted a church' that would be very notable but I somehow doubt it! If you have any doubt however remove the speedy tag and prod it instead to give others the chance to look it over. Hope that is some help and don't hesitate to drop me a message if I can be any help in the future. ] 22:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC) | |||

I'm a novice Wikipedian whose main experience has been with minor proofreading, and I'm still feeling my way carefully to avoid making too many egregious mistakes. | |||
== ] == | |||
You asked about my Esperanto skills. My ability to speak and write Esperanto is extremely limited, unfortunately, but texts written by others are relatively easy for me to understand because of their similarity to other languages with which I am familiar. (I was born in Denmark to Norwegian and Danish parents, have now learned English to a professional level, and have studied French and German.) Obviously, my reading ability in foreign languages is greater than my productive ability, so I would not attempt to translate into Esperanto, at least for now. | |||
I've tried speedying it, but he/she keeps it up, so I don't know what to do. Technically, maybe it shouldn't be speedied. Based on the cretor's efforts, should it even be prodded or AfD'd? Thoughts? - ] 15:07, 28 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

This doesn't look like ] to me; it's a perfectly adequate description of an activity. However, it does seem to be non-notable and it violates ] (which is why I prodded it).

I'd like to discuss the multiple deletions of my student's work (Satoe2158) in her user page. I am teaching students for whom English is a second language, so am asking them to use their user space to construct their articles which will then be moved to the namespace. The first deletion was by ] and occurred approximately 20 minutes after she had copied a portion of the ], while she was still logged in. | |||
:] 13:20, 29 August 2006 (UTC) | |||
The second deletion by ] occurred after a smaller section had been inserted and the inital process of converting the explanation so as to provide a template for an appropriate article, which was done at the end of class to give the student some basis to complete the first steps of the assignment. There was no warnings or discussion for the ], so it certainly appears to be an appropriate model, but if there are problems, they should be addressed in the authentic namespace and not going into a student's personal user page. I appreciate the problems with spamming and vandalism, but for constructing an article and having it proofread by a native speaker, the sandbox is not a feasible alternative. Furthermore, is an non-profit academic center, established by the Japanese Ministry of Education, to research Minamata disease, so I believe that it fulfills the requirements of inclusion in the wikipedia. | |||

One note, though... when I am on new page patrol, I can put quite a lot of CSD tags, and I ''do'' follow up on them, to make sure it is not the author that removes them. Of course, I expect that a certain percentage of the requests I make will be denied by admins, and I do not have any problem with that.

Hi. Thanks for deleting it. That was disgusting. Are users allowed to have this type of stuff in userspace? Wouldn't it be more of "innapropriate usage" than "vandalism"? Does policy state that mainspace is the only place for sexual images, and userspace as well as wikipediaspace and templatespace should be kept free of porn? It is true that nobody is allowed to use ] to argue against deletion of something like this, since it is innapropriate for mainspace anyway? Can this type of stuff be speedydeleted without XfD?

"notability of living people" . wow....... he is important and im not vandalizing. Just because someone doesnt think someone is important or "made a change in the world" doesn't mean everyone thinks that way. So in order for someone's life to be significant and worthy of reading on an encylopedia, that people spend way too much of their own living time on instead of becoming notable for aiding the world themselvs', they must do something "special or outstanding". This criteria could be easily met, with some arguing but of course everyone ahs to put in their 2cents even if its worthless. Thank you for veryfing that peoples lives are unworthy of a single document by which they can remember they did something good. No, they have nothing to their name. "notability of living people".... in order for my life, or yours' for that matter to be worth living, it must be in wikipedia... to be in wikipedia they must be notable. That is the greatest standard for living in the world, screw the people who die everyday and make the rich and famous richer. Cycle of poverty and the "untouchables" are still in todays society.

The guidelines for notability are admittedly a bit vague. Read ]; if you're creating an article about a website the best way to ensure that it won't get deleted for nonnotability is to include links to independent media stories about the website (the first criterion listed under ]). Whenever I have any doubts about a website's notability -- if there's an AfD for a site I've never heard of, for example -- the first thing I usually do is check the site's rank. If it's got six or more digits, that raises a red flag and I look closer to see if the site meets the notability guidelines. If the article doesn't cite any ] about how the site meets the guidelines, I usually vote to delete. Keep in mind of course that I'm not an administrator. ] 03:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

* You're welcome. Of course, Alexa rank isn't actually part of the guidelines... but it's a good early warning system, if you know what I mean. If a site has a low Alexa rank, I can usually assume it's notable without needing to dig too much. ] 04:20, 30 August 2006 (UTC) | |||

Any chance you could reconsider your vote on the TPH RfA again? I have no connection to him or any reason to canvass on his behalf, but I hate to see the RfA fail based on one or two opposes that push it over the edge numbers-wise. I think that controversy attaches to anyone who participates so actively in AfD discussions, and inevitably in a large number of decisions some will be found that folks can disagree with. Perhaps since you supported initially, you can reconsider again? | |||

An RfA message from AGK
Congratulations on your recent acquisition of the mop. I offer to you a few words of wisdom:
- Start slowly and carefully. There's a huge temptation to start flying through your new duties as soon as the 'crat pushes the button - resist it. Avoid close calls for your first week or two, and leave it to those who happened to get their tools a little earlier than you.
- Be sure to connect in with other users on IRC, if you can. There's a whole pool of channels there where you can get assistance in your newly-acquired buttons, and get your new colleagues used to your name.
- Be ready for criticism in your first few weeks, but at the same time don't be a push-over. If you feel worried over a decision, get another user to take a look at it.
- When blocking, ask yourself if everything you've entered into that form will benefit Misplaced Pages: is the block length sufficiently long to prevent further disruption by a vandal, or is it so long that it will put them off ever returning? Is your protection just going to be a minor hiccup in the edit warrior's grand scheme of disruption, or will it hinder the growth of the encyclopedia?
Best of luck with your new buttons, and don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any queries.

Joseph tiedemann
First off congrats on becoming an admin. I notice someone else has already deleted the article as I am writing this so it probably moot (sorry about delay) but... I would probably have deleted the article personally as I think the intent of 'planted the church' is so unclear as to be probable nonsense or just that he is the elder at that church. Nothing else in the article strikes me as an assertion of notability. Of course if he had actually 'planted a church' that would be very notable but I somehow doubt it! If you have any doubt however remove the speedy tag and prod it instead to give others the chance to look it over. Hope that is some help and don't hesitate to drop me a message if I can be any help in the future. Davewild 22:54, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

About 'nocontext' articles

- Hey, no worry. Like I say, a bunch of them got deleted. and I don't think you were the only one tagging. Other admins did not see it as I did. You did nothing wrong. Just a difference of opinion on how to interpret "no context." Dlohcierekim 04:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Esperanto
Thank you, Dlohcierekim, for your efforts on behalf of "aspiring Esperantists" (a phrase that must mean, I suppose, that we're very, very hopeful) in preserving the page on Bertilo Wennergren from threatened speedy deletion.
I'm a novice Wikipedian whose main experience has been with minor proofreading, and I'm still feeling my way carefully to avoid making too many egregious mistakes.
You asked about my Esperanto skills. My ability to speak and write Esperanto is extremely limited, unfortunately, but texts written by others are relatively easy for me to understand because of their similarity to other languages with which I am familiar. (I was born in Denmark to Norwegian and Danish parents, have now learned English to a professional level, and have studied French and German.) Obviously, my reading ability in foreign languages is greater than my productive ability, so I would not attempt to translate into Esperanto, at least for now.
Kindest regards, Erik Pedersen (objectivesea) Objectivesea 03:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
non native student work
I'd like to discuss the multiple deletions of my student's work (Satoe2158) in her user page. I am teaching students for whom English is a second language, so am asking them to use their user space to construct their articles which will then be moved to the namespace. The first deletion was by User:hmwith and occurred approximately 20 minutes after she had copied a portion of the Uzbekistan-Japan_Center, while she was still logged in.
The second deletion by User:Dlohcierekim occurred after a smaller section had been inserted and the inital process of converting the explanation so as to provide a template for an appropriate article, which was done at the end of class to give the student some basis to complete the first steps of the assignment. There was no warnings or discussion for the Uzbekistan-Japan_Center, so it certainly appears to be an appropriate model, but if there are problems, they should be addressed in the authentic namespace and not going into a student's personal user page. I appreciate the problems with spamming and vandalism, but for constructing an article and having it proofread by a native speaker, the sandbox is not a feasible alternative. Furthermore, the Minamata Open Center is an non-profit academic center, established by the Japanese Ministry of Education, to research Minamata disease, so I believe that it fulfills the requirements of inclusion in the wikipedia.
Please advise if there is an alternative process to this, the other students who are working with wikipedia are utilizing the same process and do not seem to be having the same scrutiny applied. Tomeiter 07:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I'd also note that in the Speedy_deletion section it specifically notes that
Testing is permitted in the sandbox and in users' own user space. If this is not official Misplaced Pages policy, please let me know. Tomeiter 08:32, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
- After some review I've restored some of these speedy deletions, please see User_talk:Tomeiter and User_talk:Satoe2158#Page_Deletions for my rationale. You do not appear to be online right now, but I wanted to let you know about this. Please talk page me if you think this still needs to be deleted, or feel free to MFD it if I'm not around. Thank you, — xaosflux 13:02, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Comment at RfA
Hi. this was a comment that's rather below the belt. Nominees can't be held to account for what other people write on their RfA page, whether in support or opposition. It also seems very out of character for you... Anyway, I warmly invite you to revert yourself. --Dweller 14:55, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm happier now - the comment which upset me at first makes perfect sense coming from someone who was reconsidering their position in a positive way. Thanks also for being someone who is prepared to listen to other editors and isn't afraid to change his mind - something far too few of us will do! Best wishes, DuncanHill 16:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Declined speedy deletions
Thank you for letting me know that you have declined a speedy deletion I requested.
One note, though... when I am on new page patrol, I can put quite a lot of CSD tags, and I do follow up on them, to make sure it is not the author that removes them. Of course, I expect that a certain percentage of the requests I make will be denied by admins, and I do not have any problem with that. So, I would suggest that you make that kind of notification only when you see a patroller repeatedly making the same mistake (for example, requesting SDs on articles on the grounds that they are unsourced). --Blanchardb-MeMyMouth-timed 00:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

- Interesting. Never saw that before. Are you saying that you don't think they meet guidelines for notability and verifiability? Are you further saying, "if they have an article, why not me?" Unfortunately, there are too many articles that should not be. The existence of one cannot and will not justify the existence of others. I've not the time to look at their claims to notability at present. However, I will probably nominate that article for deletion too. Thanks for the heads up. Dlohcierekim 16:07, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Salty Walrus
While I can't really argue against an AfD like this, personally I don't think it should have been deleted. There seems to be a bias on Misplaced Pages against anything sex-related (possibly due to the witch-hunt against Taxwoman), which is why I try to at least do minor cleanup on these pages periodically to give them a fighting chance. I think this is at least as valid - and sourceable - as Donkey Punch, which has survived more AfDs than anything I can think of other than Daniel Brandt. — iridescent 20:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
- Taxwoman wrote a lot of articles on an increasingly odd range of sexual practices, before being blocked for sockpuppetry under highly dubious circumstances, leaving behind a huge pile of highly dubious articles which certain Defenders of the Wiki seem to have made it their life's work to play shoot-till-you-win at AfD until the whole lot's gone. You can find a reasonably accurate summary of the whole sorry saga at The Attack Site We Do Not Link To. — iridescent 20:48, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
Template:Havefun
Hi. Thanks for deleting it. That was disgusting. Are users allowed to have this type of stuff in userspace? Wouldn't it be more of "innapropriate usage" than "vandalism"? Does policy state that mainspace is the only place for sexual images, and userspace as well as wikipediaspace and templatespace should be kept free of porn? It is true that nobody is allowed to use WP:CENSORED to argue against deletion of something like this, since it is innapropriate for mainspace anyway? Can this type of stuff be speedydeleted without XfD? Thanks. ~AH1 01:05, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

Doubt it, but it might be there. Still ooking around he web. Another problem is the corelbot tag as copyvio. Have to check on that. I'll keep an eye on him for now.

- Also, no one gave him a Not notable warning. He might just have wondered why is creation disappeared. Dlohcierekim 16:00, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
I placed a not notable warning on a previous article of the same name and he blanked the page. I also checked for outside sources and was unable to find any. --Manderson198 (sprech) 16:01, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
I guess I retract my request for a temporary block. I posted on his talk page and referred him to WP:SALT. Manderson198 (sprech) 16:08, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
- <<edit conflicted response>> No prob-- I deleted the latest incarnation of Yung XX and asked him to not repost. He's edited and created a whole slew of articles that need to be looked at.

Thank-You
"notability of living people" . wow....... he is important and im not vandalizing. Just because someone doesnt think someone is important or "made a change in the world" doesn't mean everyone thinks that way. So in order for someone's life to be significant and worthy of reading on an encylopedia, that people spend way too much of their own living time on instead of becoming notable for aiding the world themselvs', they must do something "special or outstanding". This criteria could be easily met, with some arguing but of course everyone ahs to put in their 2cents even if its worthless. Thank you for veryfing that peoples lives are unworthy of a single document by which they can remember they did something good. No, they have nothing to their name. "notability of living people".... in order for my life, or yours' for that matter to be worth living, it must be in wikipedia... to be in wikipedia they must be notable. That is the greatest standard for living in the world, screw the people who die everyday and make the rich and famous richer. Cycle of poverty and the "untouchables" are still in todays society. People who are blind fail to reconginize it. Thank-you for reading even though my life is pointless according to your notability standards. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluetim1 (talk • contribs) 03:54, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

The least you could let me due is make a page that is dedicated to Teacher Appreciation and actual list of names which is important and not just their deeds. And anyways, its not like anyone treats wikipedia seriouslly or else there would be no vandals, conflict information, and it would be a notable trusted source.

Question regarding vandalism by Strider Phoenix
Hello. Thanks for deleting the "Strider Phoenix" hoax article. I noticed in his contribution history that he's been making edits to other pages, all of which turned out to be self-promotional vandalism. I was wondering how I could report him.

Sorry to bother you again: Question about "Durban Strategy" Page
The Durban Strategy page was nominated on the AfD with two votes to keep the page, but now the page is completely gone and only contains a redirect. (There is no apparent history to undo.)

Now that I am a sysop, do not hesitate to contact me with any queries you have. I would be glad to help you along with the other group of kind and helpful administrators.
Thank you again and I look forward to editing alongside you in the future. — E 12:26, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
re. Recall
Probably - my aim isn't to get recalled in the first week, but it's to say to everyone that look, I'm open about what I'm doing, I intend to do the right thing, and I will reconsider if I'm not doing the right thing. Plus I think that most of the current recall methods (6 editors, RFC, etc.) are a joke, in most cases...— Dihydrogen Monoxide (Review) 21:41, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Re:RfA questions
Thanks. I got the idea from another user (I forget which), so I don't really deserve all the credit. Nousernamesleft 19:51, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
Pajama Test deletion
Can you elaborate on why you deleted the term "pajama test"? Interaction design and related project management is my area of expertise and training, and although the term seems humorous (and perhaps for that very reason) it has proved rather helpful to myself and others, in just the way I attempted to communicate. It appears it didn't serve that purpose for you, however :-)
If I indeed made a mistake in creating the entry, my hope is to understand better its nature, in an effort not to repeat it at some future time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meyerw (talk • contribs) 17:30, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (Image:2005 GoT cover.jpg)

However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Misplaced Pages. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Misplaced Pages (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Misplaced Pages page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box.

Back to Iamastabbingrobot
So, it seems the article of the book survived...too bad the same didn't happen to the author's. However, I still think Iamastabbingrobot should watch his tone when writing at Misplaced Pages. Victao lopes (talk) 00:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
- You think that's bad? One time a user was editing his user page without logging in. I reverted the edits, thinking it was vandalism. He had a few choice words for me about that! Hopefully he will mellow a little. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 00:26, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: "articles with quotes"
I've seen that you left a comment on my talk page about creating redirects with the article name in quotes, is that right? To the best of my knowledge, I only create redirects where say, a company or a TV show or anything in general which has an article with the title say, X is also known in other regions of the world as Y. As you said, it's highly improbable that anyone would search for articles with quotes, and you're right in speedily deleting them. I still don't completely understand what it is that you're talking about, could you leave an example by my talk page, so I may reply authoritatively? Thanks , so speaks rohith. 18:50, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Nope, I don't think I make such redirects. I do feel that they're highly improbable. I don't think that anyone would search for an article in quotes. Thanks anyway, so speaks rohith. 19:16, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your notice. I realize the danger in creating a controversial entry, but the posts have hit all of my Usenet groups, and people are just starting to notice because he's changed his style. Since the earliest version was copied from Notable Usenet personalities, I went back and edited that to reflect WP:BLP. If you can help in any other way besides deletion, thanks.

The whole DJ Derrida thing turned out to be a silly hoax (a rather funny one) so I deleted our previous conversation due to its irrelevency. I hope you understand this deletion and thanks for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DJ Derrida (talk • contribs) 17:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

SOCK PUPPETEERING
I've been accused of being a sock puupet. I frankly do not see how this can be possible, since I have made almost no edits bar those to my user page/talk page, and have only just started up. The sock puppeteer in question seems to have over a hundred suspected accounts to his name, and he is not someone I am familiar with. Certainly, I find it hard to believe he really has so many aliases. Can someone please give me an explanation, my accuser, has left no trace on any of my pages, and I would lie to find him/her, and have my sock puppet status removed. Contact me on my talk page.--Hammerandclaw (talk) 23:01, 5 January 2008 (UTC)hammerandclaw

RfA !vote
Any chance you could reconsider your vote on the TPH RfA again? I have no connection to him or any reason to canvass on his behalf, but I hate to see the RfA fail based on one or two opposes that push it over the edge numbers-wise. I think that controversy attaches to anyone who participates so actively in AfD discussions, and inevitably in a large number of decisions some will be found that folks can disagree with. Perhaps since you supported initially, you can reconsider again?
