Boitumelo McCallum Page

Thanks for your input. I hope Misplaced Pages keeps the page!--MurderWatcher1 15:12, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

UPDATE: I saw that Boitumelo McCallum's father inputted a response on the now deleted discussion page for Boitumelo McCallum. If you want, you can read my response to him. We tried. Again, thanks for your work.--MurderWatcher1 16:17, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Pre Celebration

Your edit comment: (unlinking im prison ment, rewording florida trip, article doesn't mention birthday celebration of any sort). Okay, it's not in the text but it IS implied. Anyone reading the newspapers would come to that conclusion because her birthday was just a few days away.--MurderWatcher1 21:07, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Naming

Candice, certainly, it is better to use their well-known name in the article. But, I believe that in the Infobox, it is important to indicate the "real name", for that reason is a section for "name" and another "pseudonym". If your you eliminate the real name totally, that important information is lost. Belagaile 13:56, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi ImmortalGoddezz, Thanks for the warning as always, I know that I commit many errors, I'll try to be more careful in the articles in which I collaborate. But, I'm in agreement with Belagiale, in which in infobox's name, she would have to appear the real name, otherwise does not have much sense. What you think? E-romance 15:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

AN/I

Hello ImmortalGoddezz. This message is being sent to inform you that there currently is a discussion at ANI regarding an issue that you may be involved with. You are free to comment at the discussion, but please remember to keep your comments within the bounds of the civility and "no personal attack" policies. Thank you.

Although you're only very tangentially involved in this one, I'm inviting your comments; this appears to be a real "no-win" situation at the moment (and possibly likely to trigger a fairly nasty flamewar), and given your almost-successful efforts to save Boitumelo McCallum you may be able to suggest a way out of the whole sorry mess. — iridescent (talk to me!) 18:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

I had left further comments, mentioning your work, etc. which you may want to read. For some reason, the Misplaced Pages formatting bar isn't working on my computer so I'll have to sign this post manually User:MurderWatcher1 at 12:36 p.m. NYC Time. —Preceding signed but undated comment was added at 16:37, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Offer

While I've never run into you before (unsurprising, since we barely overlap), I've recently been looking very closely at your contribution history - I'm sure you know why - and am very impressed, particularly with some of your user talk contributions to some of our more (ahem) challenging users, with your stewardship of Cystic fibrosis and with your superb, even if ultimately unsuccessful WP:HEY work on Boitumelo McCallum. If you ever want to run for adminship, I'd be glad to nominate you; you've certainly got the experience and the understanding of both policy and when to ignore it. While you don't have much to do with deletion, with the amount of reverting you do you've certainly a use for sysop buttons; the amount of experience you have and a look through your deleted contributions (the quickest-and-dirtiest way to spot someone who doesn't understand policy) makes me confident you wouldn't abuse or misuse them. If you want me to nominate you, let me know; if you don't at the moment but might later, consider that a standing offer. — iridescent (talk to me!) 22:54, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Wow I definitely hadn't expected that when I checked wikipedia, and all that comes to mind right now is thank you! I haven't seriously thought about becoming an admin before although it sounds like a position that is both interesting and requires responsibility. However before making a decision to be nominated now or later I think I'd like to read up more on what would be involved, start being involved more with the deletion process, and decide if I'd like to attempt a position of responsibility within the community now or later. So I guess I'll get back to you soon. Once again thank you! --ImmortalGoddezz 23:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Trade secret - it is not as hard (or impressive) as it sounds. Basically means you get a "block" button next to each user's name in page histories, and "protect" and "delete" buttons between "history" & "move". The gory details are at WP:SYSOP#Administrator tools; some of them (editing the main page, changing the design of the interface, viewing Special:Unwatchedpages, which hasn't worked properly for years) most admins never actually touch. Anyone who's been here long enough to warrant their own libel from ED is surely experienced enough. — iridescent (talk to me!) 23:29, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

The Bar that Levin met Chambers in

The point that I'm making, should I research her case futher, and I know I'm right, is that Levin met Chambers at Dorrian's Red Hand, so that is a valid connection to the Imette St. Guillen page reference. By the way, it appears that Iridescent is hinting at me as the "challenging user" in the above "Offer". Tell him that I don't miss anything!--MurderWatcher1 17:17, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

MW1

As you may well be aware (I suspect you have them watchlisted) the four least-salvageable articles of the batch have gone to AfD to get a final consensus on whether they're salvageable, since the AN/I discussion didn't reach any form of consensus. I've not nominated Imette St. Guillen at this stage; as you seem to know more about the case, do you think it's worth trying to rescue it, perhaps by gutting it down to a stub and moving it to an article on the case, or should it go to the wall as well? It does look potentially salvageable if it genuinely did lead to a change in the law. (Whilst assuming good faith, I have extreme doubts about the actual copyright status of the photo used to illustrate the article, however.)

Congratulations on your pre-emptive WP:HEY-ing of Fountain Avenue, incidentally, which has saved it from a probable WP:50k deletion. (Despite my reputation as the Great Street Deleter following my clearout of Category:Streets in London, I really dislike nominating streets; my first ever GA was a street article and I have a soft spot for them, as they're so hard to do well.) — iridescent (talk to me!) 01:25, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

I do have them on my watch list, though I haven't voted as of yet since I feel like a fluffy sheep has taken up residence in my brain for the last few hours or so. I'm just waiting for the sinus decongestant to kick in before doing anything big on wiki.. might even wait until tomorrow.

As for St. Guillen, from what I understand there were no regulations on hiring bouncers or requiring having security cameras at bars before her death, though I could be wrong since I never really researched that very well. So I think her death had a direct impact on that area of legislation. I'd like to say 'just keep the article' because who really likes having their work cut down? However when taking an impartial look at it the article could probably be cut down and merged into an article on the law. The legacy, aftermath, and the section on Littlejohn could probably go as it is most of the article is the 'nightlife' section which just talks about the legislation (I don't think I've actually read that thing, just suggested it become it's own article). Thanks for the congrats on Fountain Avenue.. I had read something earlier about it being used as a dump site; just hadn't had a chance to stick it in there since the discussion on AfD'ing articles. Hah anyway words are starting to blur together so I think I'll just get to everything tomorrow; including researching the Imette's Law and seeing if it'd be possible to create an article on that and merge St. Guillen there. --ImmortalGoddezz 01:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Robert Chambers Page

Looks like we're both editing this at the same time. I'll leave it to you if you want. Put in a few references to NY Post and Daily News.--MurderWatcher1 17:04, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

The St. Guillen Case Is Now In "Your-Neck-of-the-Woods"

Candice: Click on this website: I'll try to integrate some of this onto her page.
