Username blocks

For usernames that aren't (that) big a deal (i.e. company or promotional names etc.) it's best to uncheck all the boxes in the blocking form, this is called a softblock. However, in circumstances like with disruptive users (who also qualify for a username hardblock), it's obvious there not here for encyclopedic purposes - so in that case leave it as normal (like at AIV) and tick the top two - leaving the email one unchecked, this is called a hardblock. Go on Special:Listusers - type in Rudget - and then see the impersonations, they also qualify for hardblocks :) Rudget. 08:42, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Keeper76

Dude, not cool or necessary. Keeper76 and me are pals and he'll understand the April's fool. Dorftrottel (talk) 12:20, April 1, 2008

Would you mind undoing your revert, because I basically never re-revert to a version of my own unless it's clear-cut vandalism cleanup. Dorftrottel (talk) 12:21, April 1, 2008

Woohoo! Thanks. Dorftrottel (vandalise) 12:26, April 1, 2008

I strongly recommend that you don't block Dorf. Immediately. Vandalism is not not tolerated around here. The bastard. So, you got your mop yesterday, and you don't block? :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 14:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

I hate April 1st. Back when I was a junior high school teacher, I would check the calendar and pray that 4/1 was over a weekend. Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 14:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Protection

I've unprotected your talk page. We simply don't protect user talk pages unless there's a very good reason to and not being online isn't one of those. You need to leave your talk page open so people can contact you even when you're not around. Please don't protect it like that again. Regards, Ryan Postlethwaite 22:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Ugh. Learning curve. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 12:45, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

IP indef blocks

Hi Cobaltbluetony. IP addresses should virtually never be blocked indefinitely (eg). Please see Misplaced Pages:Blocking IP addresses. I'm going to adjust some of the indef-blocks you've made today. I would suggest you keep the IP blocks short until you've had some more experience with them. Feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Thanks. -- zzuuzz 23:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Yea, I noticed a few of those too. Just letting you know I am unblocking and tweaking the time on a couple other of your indef blocked IP's. Tiptoety 01:13, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Article Deletion

Hi,
I recieved your deletion message and since you invited me to ask a few questions here they are. The article you deleted was about Spot On Networks, and it was deleted because you felt that it was advertising. Not So. Spot On is not available to the general public, was founded by some of the first wireless communications pioneers, and represents the largest company of its kind in the wi fi field. It is a service that must be offered to the user, you can not sign up for it on your own, therefore I was clearly not advertising. I was however hoping to create several articles, on things such as the founders of SON who helped to create the wireless industry in the US, as well as the article about wi-fi internet telephones which SON helped develop. Most of the founders of SON have been featured in the book Wireless Nation, and I wished to add/create that article as well. I noticed that there are articles about apple computer, t mobile, microsoft, etc. why is it that those articles which are about companies that clearly sell to the general public are allowed while my article about a service available by invite only and founded by tecnology pioneers just like bill gates and steve jobs is immediately deleted as advertising? SON may be a small company but their role in past, present, and future wi-fi technology advancements is important. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazaruslong4272 (talk • contribs) 13:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

tiered approach

I left a response on my own talk page - I never know which is the correct place to respond. I think from now on I will respond on my own talk page, and add a notice to the users page that I am responding which I am doing now! BananaFiend (talk) 14:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Ryoko Hatake

Oh, dear. I thought I had blocked him indefinitely. Will do so now ... morning coffee hasn't kicked in yet (well, it was instant, after all :-)). Thanks for calling that to my attention! Daniel Case (talk) 14:49, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Congrats on your promotion to admin!

Our paths have crossed in various places on WP and you always exhibit sound judgement and common sense - a much deserved promotion. Good luck! – ukexpat (talk) 16:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

You are rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why did you delete my article!? You couldn't go and delete something like Mike the headless chicken, so you go and delete my article! I can't stand you! Was there something just so bad about my article! Was it not neutral enough!? Or was it just horrible!? Your name stinks as well. I hope your next fifty articles get deleted! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee hldn (talk • contribs) 20:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Ahhh. I see you've been welcomed to the ranks of new admins already... Friday (talk) 20:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Bill Cunningham Article

Sorry, I was in the middle of editing the article. Cunningham is running again in 2008, and has held a series of top party positions in the Liberals. He is a big name in Canadian politics, whihc would be clear once i complete the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MinistryofTruth85 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough,but like I said, he is noteable for other reasons. I will do a complete writeup and repost later. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MinistryofTruth85 (talk • contribs) 20:59, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

adminship

Danger fights back

Genuine words of wisdom above, especially 5. Thanks for picking up the query, I just added nothing to add to the above really, which says is better than I would. Jimfbleak (talk) 14:33, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the info

Thanks for your quick response to my comment/question. I didnt realize about making the article that way and not putting it into the gen pop till it was completed ie properly cited. Sorry about that. I will take your advice and complete the article in that fashion and properly cite it. Thank you for your advice/time and I look forward to becoming a contributing member here on wikipedia. Thanks again and sorry about the original article, it was an honest mistake. - Lazarus —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazaruslong4272 (talk • contribs) 15:24, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Polish composers update

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. I'm reading wikipedia for many years, but decided to start helping just now. I'm sorry for that little overlook with tagging minor changes as major (I will remember about edit etiquette). I'm offering knowledge-support about polish composers, since I'm interested in such subject matter for many years. I'll be filling all references and sources continuously, just give me some time for good citations and the rest.

Kind regards, Tomasz. TomaszMilczewski (talk) 16:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry about the lulz

... but when the sock started calling Daniel Case all those homophobic names, in a post to the FisherQueen, I just had to respond. Since FQ and I have a language in common, I was unable to resist the temptation to talk above the little bigot's head. It was wicked of me, I know; I appreciate the gentle chiding. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:13, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Tracy Price-Thompson

Tony, thanks for restoring that article, but did you read my comment in the deletion review page? The books already listed in the article fulfill WP:BIO for notability, you guys just aren't following the ISBN links to see that her books are in hundreds of libraries. The article doesn't need anything more, it's notable as-is. If someone will actually respond to the things I'm saying, and they really disagree that WP:BIO is fulfilled, I'll do more research, but I've put a good bit in already.--❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 19:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

I've tried to start a discussion of the "represented in library collections" language here. Thought you might like to have some input. --Orange Mike | Talk 13:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

ISAR page

Hi Tony,

I just wanted to follow up on the status of the ISAR page. I had previously posted that under the user name unctad75802. As per your suggestions: I have created a new page in the temp folder which does not run foul of the copyright rules, and I have also created a new user name. Hoof Hearted indicated earlier that the copyright warning page would be removed soon and replaced with the page I created in the temp folder. So far, the warning page is still there. I just wanted to check with you to get an update on the status of this. Thanks for your help. --Mole31 (talk) 09:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Dimitrie Pompieu redirect

Thanks for redirecting that. I was close to nominating it for AfD before you found it. Don't I feel stupid for not investigating it a little further.

Well count an another idiot who made the same mistake.....I was just wondering why the mathematics genealogy project carries the wrong spelling.....could anyone tell me how they arrived at the "correct" spelling?? I mean the mathematics genealogy project won't put the name without checking right??? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jacknote (talk • contribs) 10:16, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Please clarify soon. Jacknote (talk) 10:17, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

HighwallMining

I saw that you added some problem tags to the above. On reading it and the external links within the body of the article, I think it's thinly veiled spam, advertising Terexx SHM so I am Afd'ing it. – ukexpat (talk) 17:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

As you will see below, I have now Afd'd it. May need your help though -- you were doing the move just as I was doing the Afd - I think I have edited the Afd itself and the Afd log so they all point to the moved article, but would you please double check? Thanks.  – ukexpat (talk) 17:53, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Highwall mining

I have nominated Highwall mining, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Highwall mining. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ukexpat (talk) 17:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Removal of iSenso Limited

Right, here we go again.

The page is removed before any content is added to it. There's a brief summary of what the page is about and I have specifically put on there, "THIS IS BEING EDITED" so you people don't delete it before it's written. I now find that another time, it has been removed.

Reinstate the iSenso Limited page as it is blatantly NOT advertising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 20:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Well can you remove the block from the page, for some reason only nazi administrators can edit it and control information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 20:58, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

UKWDA

Please visit UKWDA web site and then tell me I am advertising the web site. It is an independent body of web designers in the United Kingdom. Perhaps in the US you haven't heard of them and feel that it's not relevant to yourself, however, it is for people in the United Kingdom. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 21:14, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

John Nelson (Methodist Preacher)

You have just deleted John Nelson Methodist Preacher. I copied this from my own website as I want the information on Misplaced Pages rather than my own website which I will then delete. I am not breaching copyright as it is my own work anyway. Could you restore it? It will all be fully referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holmfirth lass (talk • contribs) 21:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

iSenso Ltd

I would suggest you stop marking every edit for deletion. There is genuine reference to iSenso Ltd as written in the article.

I would also suggest you read articles before trying to control the information that other people can see. Misplaced Pages is just as much everybody elses as it is yours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 22:09, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

As people have said to you before - controlling everybody else's posts only discourages people from editing Misplaced Pages, which goes completely against what it stands for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 22:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

CX Racers

Hi Cobaltbluetony,

you appear to have some issues with our wikipedia article about the game CX Racers. I was wondering what exactly you think is wrong with it and, therefore, methods to improve it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ToadyX (talk • contribs) 22:33, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Nightly blanking

Out of curiosity, why are you blanking your talk page when you're off-wiki? How do you expect people to respond to existing threads? Doctorfluffy (talk) 00:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't noting that your talk page was blank - I was noting that you intentionally blank it every evening only to restore and refactor it the next morning. Further, I don't see what's odd about my comment. My talk page is nearly empty at the moment because, like you, I archive old conversations to reduce clutter and facilitate easy communication with other users. Blanking and restoring on a daily basis is quite different and appears to me to have the opposite effect. I see no advantages to it and several disadvantages - obscuring open conversations and confusing those who may wish add a comment to them, forcing users to delve into the page history even for recent dialogs, and creating an unnecessarily tedious morning routine for yourself.

Anyway, why reinvent the wheel? Why don't you just use Template:User status or something similar if you feel it's important for others to know when you're offline? Doctorfluffy (talk) 07:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

PriorSmart

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article PriorSmart, 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of PriorSmart.

Article Deletion Criteria / Review Standards / Fairness, etc.

Scottwrites (talk) 21:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

I'm curious as to why you deleted an article I recently tried to put up. Upon submitting it, I immediately went to edit a typo I'd noticed. But the article had already been deleted. This seems to me as if it was automatic. Which is at the very least, kind of odd as I can't imagine what criteria would have been used for that.

The article is about a new vertical market search engine. (Of which several are listed under Vertical search and most of which have their own entries as well. ) The company is well represented in the tech press, has in the millions of users, and is using novel approaches worthy of note to approach a particular vertical search category.

While I've written or contributed to several articles over the years, this is the first time I've seen what appears to be such an arbitrary, (and possibly automated), action.

Hopefully upon review you will agree and remove whatever block is on the article such that I can finish editing it. (Basically, I need to finish putting in the ref info.)

Thanks, Scott

Advertising? How?

Hi, You've deleted my article, saying its blatent advertising - but the Centurion (Novel) page is about a book, but there wasn't any description, so thats what I entered. I put the description word for word off the books cover, and some comments from famous papers (from the cover again). I've got nothing to do with anyone involved with this book, I just finished reading the series recently and thought it was a shame nobody bothered to put a synopsis on Misplaced Pages. Can you put my page back on, please?

Thanks, Jack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsy05 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

No I shouldnt have to, its a description of the book on the right page. Just put it back up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsy05 (talk • contribs) 14:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

It is a description, its the summary of the book taken from the cover (and not a copy paste) - I typed it all out myself so I dont appreciate it being deleted the second it gets posted. It was supposed to give people some information on the series (rather than a blank page) and somebody has done exactly the same with the third book, When the Eagle Hunts (fair enough they put in some extra stuff because they probably know how to use it more than I do. This was my first input)

So yeah, put my post back up. Nothing wrong with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsy05 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Bestival 2008

Thanks for the message about the above. This is a tricky one -- the fact that it's a future event may make it fall foul of WP:CRYSTAL and, as it is, it does read like a press release or event announcement. At least with the previous years' events (Bestival 2007 for example) they have happened and may be notable enough for inclusion (though that one still needs some work). I am not aware of a consensus on this kind of thing, but that doesn't mean much - I am finding new stuff here all the time. Is there an admin only forum where you could discuss? If not then I guess an Afd nomination would be a way to get consensus, making it clear in the nomination that that was the intention. BTW, did you report the user responsible for the comments immediately above? So, how goes it with the mop so far?  – ukexpat (talk) 16:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Of course I meant User:Rigsy05 not User:Jet, must have been an intervening post. I have no idea about the deletion of all iterations of a user page. That would certainly be something to raise on an admin board. I will also keep a note of that question -- would be a good one to ask at an Rfa! (not mine though should I ever seek a mop!). – ukexpat (talk) 16:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I am afraid in the UK "sod" has a different usage from that in the US. We refer to the stuff you lay in your yard (garden) as "turf". "Sod" has its roots (as it were and pardon the pun) in sodomy, so calling someone a "sod" or telling them to "sod off" is a little impolite! – ukexpat (talk) 17:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Bestival 2008

I left my views on the matter on Talk:Bestival 2008. In short, I pretty much agree with you it probably doesn't warrant its own article right now, but I'll give the user ample time to respond to see what they think. If all else fails, we could always initiate a request for comment to show the user there is consensus on matters such as this. Cheers! Redfarmer (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Request for unprotection of "Cvent"

Hello,

This post is in regards to your recent deletion and subsequent protection of an entry on “Cvent” due to repeat advertising. I would like to request that the page be unprotected. The former entry was not intended to be an advertisement for the company, nor any kind of means to garner publicity, attention, etc. that would clearly abuse the content policies at Misplaced Pages, but was rather a response, perhaps made in haste, to some false statements about the organization on the web. It was merely an attempt to clear up any confusion. As I said, perhaps the former entry was made too quickly, but now after spending time researching third-party sources on the topic, I believe a clearer, neutral entry could be made on a company that has made a notable presence in its market.

Cvent is well-known in the meetings and events industry and has been in business for 8 years. The term Cvent receives over 20,000 queries per month on Google. Part of the reason is that Cvent conducts 400 events in 100 cities across the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia, meeting in person with over 30,000 meeting and event planners per year. Cvent received $17 million in VC funding in 1999, and it is a profitable company with 10,000 clients world wide and 350+ employees. Cvent’s event management software is used to manage 100,000 events and surveys per year by well-known corporations, associations, education groups and non-profits. There are many people who are simply curious when they hear the name Cvent and I think it would be a worthwhile listing, as many other organizations with similar notable characteristics in their respective markets are included in Misplaced Pages.

I look forward to your thoughts and reconsideration of the entry. Thank you.

I was wondering why it was deleted? Was the info I gave not enough or was it messy? Do I need to add more info, more in depth info?

Page Deletion - Second Price

I am a concerned citizen writing about a phenomenon that is happening in society. People are being tricked by second prices that companies like Cable Co. are throwing at people to hook them and then blast them with a higher price that in this economy is hard to afford. I want people to know about the thing companies call the "Second Price". I have enjoyed how EMBARQ, a publicly traded telecom company, has personified the Second Price that so many customers fall victim to. I am not advertising but merely informing the public. Isn't that what this is all about? Misplaced Pages is an information network where you share with the world information in the world that you feel is readable. I would like to specifically ask what about my article did you feel was an advertisement? I was working on putting up images and references when you so quickly deleted my page. I have attached some of my references here for you to read over: http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/oct2007/pi20071010_242433.htm - 2nd paragraph under Cable is likely to grab more telephony share: “This low-hanging fruit consists of customers who just plain dislike their local telephone company as well as people who want to take advantage of cable telephony's attractive introductory prices.

Page Deletion - Second Price

I read the first blue link (which by the way, I do not need you to define what it is or does...let's try to keep polite as the talk guidelines plainly state on your very page). My entry is not about a company it is about Second price, the price you end up paying for services after tricky companies hook you with an introductory price which has a fine print stipulation where it is only good for 3-12 months. So please explain how the Misplaced Pages's Notability Criteria (organizations and companies) applies to my article. It is not discussing a company or an organization except to use as an example of an advertisement which uses the concept of Second Price and personafies it. I do not agree with your justification for page deletion. Please advise. Thanks again for your time.

Undeleted Rocco Settonni

We had both speedied it, creator made some claims of notability on my talk, so I revived it. Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Rocco Settonni if you're interested. DMacks (talk) 06:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

BYU Ph.D. Prep track

I tagged this as spam yesterday and it was deleted and eventually salted. The author Daw44 (talk · contribs) has put on my talk page a long message here - it goes down more than a screen - and I have replied (at the bottom several sections down) referring him to you and Blueboy96 as the two admins who deleted the page, and urging him to read WP:BFAQ before he asks you for permission to re-create. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 12:03, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

I Agree and Thanks

Can I say thanks so much for deleting Zeus is a perve. I agreed with you and was actually going to tag it. Thanks. SimpsonsFan08 (talk) 14:57, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Do not delete Illinois Doberman Rescue

Why was this deleted? I wasn’t even done creating the page and it was deleted. IDR is a non-profit group that that rescues dobermans and allows people to adopt them. If articles like this aren't allowed, please tell me why. --Loudes13 (talk) 16:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

OK, but there are many others like it. If San Francisco SPCA can have an article, why can's IDR? http://en.wikipedia.org/San_Francisco_SPCA --Loudes13 (talk) 16:24, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

what about The Humane Society of Allen County? I could go on all day. There are hundreds of similar articles. Please do not delete it.--Loudes13 (talk) 16:32, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Er, help.

I was writing a series of articles on David Chang and his Momofuku restaurant "group", but had to run to deal with some work stuff. When I got back, the article I started on Momofuku (restaurants) had been deleted for "doesn't indicate importance/significance." These restaurants are important on a national scale - Mr. Chang has won numerous awards for them and they are constantly on "best of" lists. I am totally unrelated to the institutions (aside from being a satisfied frequent customer). How should I go about recreating the article(s) without stepping on toes? Thanks! Carte Rouge (talk) 16:29, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Sure, that sounds great. Could you take the article I wrote and copy it to that new page in my user space? It helps me to write from an existing structure. Carte Rouge (talk) 16:35, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Blogs bad, right? Carte Rouge (talk) 16:41, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

My-Language

Dear Cobaltblue, I very disappointed that you deleted the page concerning My-Language. This was in the process of being edited. It wasn't advertising or Spam at all. We are a language learning software company in the UK, that has just been highly praised by the SSAT (Specialist Schools and Academies Trust). A UK government educational trust. This means we will, come September, be the language learning software recommended to all UK Primary and Scecondary school, basically children from the ages of 7-16 learning French/ German and Spanish. Please kindly put it back up so we can amend it and get it right at least. It's our first upload! Many thanks indeed —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.152.161.145 (talk) 17:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Curious as to deletion of my article?

Hello, I am just wondering why you deleted my article before I even had a chance to publish it? It said "(A7 (bio): Real person; doesn't indicate importance/significance)" when he is clearly a significant person. He has led his track and XC teams to many state and national titles, been recognized as the best runner in his country in his heyday, been featured as National Coach of the Year once, as well as garnering the same award by a magazine. Clearly you seem to be on some sort of power trip, deleting someone who is, yes, close to me, but is also significant in the Cross Country world. I don't see you deleting articles about old coaches or old players, so why now with me?

Bye Bye (Mariah Carey song)

As per my previous conversation with Yamla, the song has already been verified as Mariah Carey's next single by her official site, and is planned for a digital release next week. Although I know the page was created by a sockpuppet, there should be no reason why the page shouldn't be recreated now. Could you provide a reason for the protection? SKS2K6 (talk)

Webometrics Ranking of Canadian Universities

A tag has been placed on Webometrics Ranking of Canadian Universities, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Jeff Dyck (musician) page deleted

Why was my stub entry for Jeff Dyck deleted? I understand the whole A7 thing, but if so, why is there a link to the nonexistent page on the Sled Storm page? It seems strange to me that just one artist out of all of them on that soundtrack is "not notable."

I was only trying to put something there, which is what I thought I supposed to do as a good wiki-ite. No big deal to me. JulietCastro (talk) 17:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

The Beastmastas / User:Beastmastas

Hey Tony, I saw that you dealt with this user last month, and wanted to know what you thought should be done. This user and an IP that I suspect is the same person keep adding the same spammy text to the article, as well as a long list of every song that this group has ever worked on. I'm thinking at least a username block is in order, possibly a hardblock for adding spam despite COI warnings. GlassCobra 17:53, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Wha? Are you sure this is a hoax? GlassCobra 18:02, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Haha, it didn't sound rhetorical, my fault. I think it was the right call, though; that account had only contributed to that article, and was obviously meant for promotion. In any case, I'm not 100% sure about the article being a hoax. I know at least that one thing was legit: Jimi Kendrix really did win an ASCAP award; here is the page that they cited. GlassCobra 18:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Hm, true enough. Plus I guess that would serve more on a page about Kendrix, not for one about a group that's he a member of that we're not even sure really exists.. GlassCobra 18:32, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Seems The Beastmastas has been re-created by a User:NFluential (the name of the Beastmastas record label). Thought you might want to take a look. GlassCobra 18:47, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

If we're going to allow this to stay, should I add back some of the information from the old version? GlassCobra 20:03, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

Countdown to Antidote

Just a friendly note. You deleted an article, Countdown to Antidote, under CSD A7, however the article was about an album and so was not eligible for the criterion. The article may have been poorly written but should not have been deleted for that reason. 63.225.153.196 (talk) 22:13, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't like Foley, and I don't like how FOX News reported it (I was waiting for Lost to premiere, sue me). But not liking someone isn't grounds to libel them. I almost tagged Osama Bin Laden for summary deletion for the same reason ("terrorist"=POV, always has been used). Sceptre 23:01, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
