Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/The Same Sky
I was wondering if you could check the sources that I added to the AfD. If you have the AfD in your watchlist, sorry for posting here. SL93 (talk) 23:08, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
- I'm sorry, but you really should search for sources first - Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Helen Ford. SL93 (talk) 16:12, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Reaper, are you for real? Emperor Faith and Arrows the Ambassador? Would it have been different if instead of "Emperor Faith was an early Jamaican sound system" it would have said "Emperor Faith is notable for being an early Jamaican sound system"? Come on now--there's a printed reference for each one of them! Sound systems are important, and being an early one means one is notable. This is where dance hall culture comes from, and a bunch of other styles. Look it up at Sound system (Jamaican). Drmies (talk) 03:29, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- Yes, I'm a bit miffed that I didn't even get a chance to contest it. Was the encyclopedia running out of server space?Drmies (talk) 04:41, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
- The article had only one sentence which stated that it was a group of DJs. An article like that coming in on the new pages list would likely have been summarily tagged for speedy deletion by any patrolling editor, as it was not apparent that early groups of DJs were important in any way. Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:15, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
- Well, I disagree. The thing had a reference from a book, and those are typically not deleted. I never had a chance to look at it--it was a good thing I have secret admin powers. Drmies (talk) 22:49, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

A7 is also the reason given by ReaperEternal for the deletion of the Tecnica Group page (major manufacturer of ski boots and other winter shoes). The result: unknown (at least to me) companies like Nordica and Blizzard Sport are listed as being bought by Tecnica, but there no page for Tecnica! I think the page has been wrongly deleted.

Block of Benjamin Peirce's vandal
Great block!
His user name was the least of his problems, though. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 21:45, 23 January 2012 (UTC)
That edit war...
You might want to take a look at the article's talk page... Calabe1992 15:38, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- That article also is orphaned; virtually everything linking to it is from the admin dashboards. Calabe1992 15:43, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
User talk:165.155.196.107
Hi, I just went to place a Twinkle message about vandalism on this talk page, for their efforts on Herbaceous plant on 24th January, and found a message just above that they were blocked by you on 19th January for a period of one week. Do you know what has happened to make that week so short? Best wishes, Nadiatalent (talk) 19:35, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) The block was actually only for 72 hours, so the template was incorrect. Calabe1992 19:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks, so I won't give them a message, just revert their nonsense. Nadiatalent (talk) 20:44, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
- Actually, the block was supposed to be 1 week. Oh well, he got lucky.... Reaper Eternal (talk) 21:31, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

You beat me to it, but that was my browser moving links around as my watchlist loaded. Thanks for the fix :) - ʄɭoʏɗiaɲ ¢ 19:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
- No problem! I've made the same mistake myself. =) Reaper Eternal (talk) 19:41, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Fæ
I noted that you deleted Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Fæ and I expected that an explanation of some kind would be forthcoming on my talkpage, but you appear to have gone on to other things. Please either restore the page or provide a fuller explanation than "Blatant outing of a cleanstart account", which is not at all the case here. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:19, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- I have already emailed the arbitration committee over this, as I would like some oversight as to whether releasing that information was appropriate. Until I get a reply, it stays deleted to avoid doing harm. Anyway, can't you just make an RFC on Fae's poor use of sources without outing his previous account? (And by oversight, I mean some more eyes to look over my action, not use of the oversight tool.) Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- Perhaps you are unaware of such discussions as Misplaced Pages:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive729#User:Fæ = User:Ash (and was previously User:Ashleyvh and User:Teahot)? As I clearly stated on the RFC/U, I am re-opening the RFC/U on User:Ash, which the user ducked out of under the pretense of leaving Misplaced Pages. I have no desire to wait for ArbCom to twiddle their thumbs over this, so please restore the page in the meantime. If they wish, they can put a halt to it after they have a chance to discuss it. Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:30, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- Hmm. I was unaware of that thread (I didn't edit throughout the entire month of November anyway) and that Fae had already named himself as Ashley. Nor did I realize that he had joined WMUK. I did see in the RFC that you claimed to be reopening the previous RFC on Ash, but that is completely beside the point. However, since it can't really be outing since the information is already all over the place and available for the world to see, I will undelete the page. By the way, why are you so interested in Fae's real-life identity? Reaper Eternal (talk) 13:52, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
- My interest is in Ash/Fæ's Misplaced Pages activities. Thank you for un-deleting the page. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 13:57, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
