Thanks. Even with the new additions to the page, I think it might be a proposed deletion rather than an AfD, but I'm ambivalent on that. In any event, thank you for de-flagging it. By the way, I'm not sure if you're a new user (you seem pretty experienced) - but if you are, and if there's ever anything I can answer, please let me know. Thanks. --TheOtherBob 23:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Itsmymarket.com

I deleted it under WP:CSD#General_criteria #11. It may have been premature under G11, but not under A7. The creator re-created it, fleshing it out some more. I left a note the creator regarding the issue and asked him to defend the notability of the website (see ). Don't worry about being new and raising an issue; all of us are equals. --Durin 16:57, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

What I was saying was "-speedy", which is shorthand for "removed speedy". :-) That should explain. The reason I removed the tag in that case was that the article wasn't that much like an advertisement. It may be an inappropriate article per WP:CORP, but not all such articles can be speedy deleted, but feel free to try WP:PROD or WP:AFD. Mangojuice 21:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Rename

As requested, I have renamed you as User:Darkspots. You should now move your userpages to the new name. Warofdreams talk 03:38, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/White thunder

Hi, I'm asking you for help because you've also commented on this AfD discussion. User:Mystery dragon left an unsigned comment embedded within my comment. The effect of it is that I seem to be accusing myself of being rascist, which is a little odd. I'd like to sort this out so that the correct comments are attributed to the correct person, but I don't know how to do that. Can you give me a hand? Darkspots 04:47, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

OK, I figured it out on my own, and I'm pretty sure that I did it correctly. My aversion to editing someone else's comments in a discussion like that were hard to overcome, but I think everything is clear and correctly attributed. Cheers. Darkspots 04:59, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I was performing admin tasks until 0300 GMT this morning, so I have only just woken up! I'm glad that you got to the bottom of your question, though. I would look at the edit history of the discussion to see who said what and when, then go from there. Regards, (aeropagitica) 10:46, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Heya. I noticed that you placed the {{db-bio}} tag on the above article, but apparently substituted it. Just a note to say that speedy tags shouldn't be substituted, because it makes it hard for both the creator and the admin that eventually decides what to do -- and, since the tags are usually removed within hours for one reason or another, they don't slow down the site.

Thanks. Just looked over Misplaced Pages:Template substitution again, and that's clear. Appreciate the tip as well as you removing the deletion tag from this page--I've grown rather fond of it. Regards, Darkspots 00:20, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you put them in the spot where they are supposed to go, but you should mark the page with Template:"subst:delsort (without quotes) on the actual Afd page.Bakaman _Bakatalk 03:40, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Its all good. Btw, what do you think of the ed.xx account? Sockpuppet or disruptive editor ? I wonder why all his contribs were on deleting Indian people.Bakaman _Bakatalk 04:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Antichrist vandalism revert

Sorry about that, I was going through someone's vandal-edits (starting with a broken link to what was apparantly supposed to be a gay porn site on the article for Ensign George H. Gay, Jr.. I must have hit an already-fixed edit of his and accidentally reverted several other edits' worth of edits.

I blame my tiredness, stress of oncoming finals, my attending public school in Oklahoma, and El Niño (we can still blame El Niño, can't we?). Many apologies.--Raguleader 08:47, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, personally I just have to admit to being pleased that someone is using my talk page. Seems like such an under-utilized feature of Misplaced Pages, at least from where I'm sitting.--Raguleader 08:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Nuestro amigo

Thanks for taking this project under your wing. It is a lot of work! I'm not sure if you noticed how many images he uploaded on the various Roybal, NM, and surrealist art-related articles under various usernames. They are of questionable copyright status at best, and will probably have to be deleted. I wish I could help you out more, but alas, my current schedule does not allow it. Thanks again, --Rockero 06:24, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

You may need to add LoverofTheArts and 68.35.139.190 to the list of sock puppets...--Rockero 07:26, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Howdy

I am the unfortunate owner of the dynamic IP you recently posted on. Just wanted to leave you a note here after logging in. It seems that the IP's aren't truly dynamic, but after having coworkers check here, many are actually shared simultaneously. Kinda depressing. Arkon 00:06, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually I am in Roanoke, Virginia. I work in a building with about 1500 employees. It seems they have the network setup that about 20 or so computers share each IP address. I was getting ready to login today when I saw the new messages banner, and I don't want my account to be swept up with some vandal. That was the purpose of my message. Have a good one.

Deleted reference from Seneca, South Carolina

Hello, I notice that you deleted the reference citation from one of my edits. There are ongoing discussions here and here that you might want to weigh in on (probably in opposition to my plans, but hey I'd rather hear more opinions) and I've also been soliciting opinions here on the more general issue of citing commercial websites as sources. If you're interested in contributing to any of those discussions, I'd certainly appreciate your feedback. --Bill Clark 17:52, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
