DRV

Hi, BK. Were you not notified of this?—S Marshall T/C 09:35, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Upon saving the article, I see that the AfD was closed. I did not mean to revert the decision and I apologize for the mistake. However, I think that the article meets notability criteria...ha I've never undone an AfD like this before, I do not know what happens, but I would like the rewrite I made to be discussed on the subjects inclusion. Thank you - Theornamentalist (talk) 03:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Deletion review for List of statistically superlative countries

An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of statistically superlative countries. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review.

Hi Black Kite. There's a slightly grumpy note at the deletion review about talking to the closing admin first before DRV, so here I am. I only found out about this article a few minutes ago. Looking at the deletion discussion (and remembering that I haven't ever seen the page itself) my impression is that your closing did not give enough weight to the possibility of organising the material better, and of making clear criteria for inclusion and thus directly overcoming the problem of being "indiscriminate", which was your grounds for finding the deletion arguments more convincing. (I also think that "being interesting" does carry greater weight than you appeared to give it; as argued, this is the kind of information people often go to an encyclopedia for. The article apparently had high traffic.) Opinions on list articles do differ; I would have thought this at the very least would be a case for closing the debate as no decision, or a re-listing to get more input. In any case, is there a chance you could wikify it to my userspace so I can have a look? (I've just found the cache on the DRV page.) VsevolodKrolikov (talk) 11:10, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

That's fine, I was fully expecting it to go to DRV so I'm not surprised! I've commented in detail at the DRV page. Black Kite (t) (c) 14:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Colonel Warden is at it again

You may recall the thread at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive648 where Colonel Warden (talk · contribs) was shown to be disruptively removing cleanup tags. I've been sporadically monitoring his contributions, and while he stopped doing it for a few days after the ANI thread, it appears he has started testing the waters again yesterday. See where he not only removes the {{Multiple issues}} tag at the top of the article, but he also removes six {{Citation needed}} tags without adding any references. Also of note is the resulting discussion at Talk:Natural theology#Marcus Terentius Varro. He clearly has no intention of becoming a non-disruptive contributor to the project. You indicated your opinion at ANI that any further instances of disruptive cleanup tag removal should result in a block. Do you believe that this instance is enough evidence? (Note that I am also posting this at User talk:AniMate, who is another admin who commented that any future infractions should result in a block.) Thanks. SnottyWong  16:58, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Why am I unsurprised? Cheers, Jack Merridew 18:06, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I level 3 warned him. I really, really hope he takes that to heart. Jclemens (talk) 18:15, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorely tempted to block him myself, but considering my contentious involvement with the ARS it's probably a bad idea. AniMate 18:27, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Normally I'd ask TFOWR but he's caught up in RL right now. Also posted on Cailil's Talk page. Just a heads up on this, this and the creation of this category. What to do? --HighKing (talk) 18:50, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
