Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 13:24, 24 June 2006

I have two requests for people coming here:

• If you intend to revert personal attacks could you please use the {{subst:unsigned|user name|date}} template instead.
• If you are here to complain about something I deleted could you please tell me the name of the name of the article that you are talking about. If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you.

Thanks. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 16:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

airport infobox

oh crap i did a mistake, i wanted everything to be centered because looks a little more organize, and i made a mistake of deleating the coordinates and the actual airport stats, my bad. ColBog Sorry for the mistake dude, you are right.

Unionville High school

Hi, I noticed that you deleted the page with a note saying copyright violation. How did you determine that it was a copyright violation? I had noted and attempted to fix some problems with the page (primarily the page name) but didn't suspect a copyright violation. Thanks Brian 00:02, 19 June 2006 (UTC)btball

Why do you have to be doin that?

If its too vulgar, just edit it a little bit, don't trash the whole article...and also, did you delete the "banner of belligerence" page for any reason? You didn't really offer any warning to change some of the content, you just kinda destroyed it. Half the stuff on this website gets on here because users put it on here...Have you ever clicked on the "random article" button? If you do, you will probably see that every article that pops up is totally bullshit and has no real meaning to it. Half of them are talking about the Turkistpinkintstan traid routs of 613 B.C., but then i put up one article about an up and coming band, which is actually contributing to society, and you just delete it??? Maybe if you had a soul, you could put the page back up, I'm sure you can do that can't you?

Thanks again,

The Violence

The delete prod for nonnotability you placed on this article was removed, despite the fact that there has still been no effort made to prove that this band is of any importance whatsoever. I have replaced the prod, but I am wondering if it is not time for an AfD. Your thoughts? ---Charles 03:59, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for moving the New Norwegian article back to Nynorsk, much appreciated :) --Eivind 14:48, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Everton reserves

hello thankyou first for stopping a user speedy deleting for no reason. You have instead put delete discussion templates on the following articles (much more civil approach).

Kieran Agard Alan Kearney Steven Morrison Shaun Densmore John Irving (footballer) Matthew Elder Mathew Holt Michael Jensen (footballer) Cory Sinott

I have added identical shorts to the discussion pages of all articles. Also I have since added football stub templates as these need to be added to when the 2006/07 season starts or if any developments occur in pre-season. This being the case I think they are viable articles.

Thankyou

Champ (food)

Please do not arbitrarily delete an article you consider to be "nonsense". I happen to come from Northern Ireland, and I do know for a fact that the dish Champ does indeed exist. I'm asking you to undelete the article ASAP, thank you very much. --Mal 00:28, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to hijack your talk page, but Mal, admins can make mistakes and it's best to remain civil if you want the desired outcome round here :) Anyway, CambridgeBayWeather: I just popped by to say I've restored the deleted edits. I see you edited the recreated article and didn't delete is this time so I assume you won't mind. I've had many dealings with Mal and I don't believe for one moment he would create a hoax article so, assuming good fait,h I've restored it. If you have any disagreement please drop me a line on my talk page or nominate it for AFD. It's certainly not patent nonsense (gobbledegook) so wasn't a valid deletion anyway. (no reply needed unless you disagree. Cheers.) --kingboyk 12:02, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I thought he was being civil. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 12:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I was being civil, although I admit to having been annoyed of course - I had only just created the article, then it was immediately nominated for speedy. I was adjusting other articles to point specifically to the newly created article, then it disappeared on me!

Steve, its not like I haven't been an administrator of websites before myself dude. I ran one of the most popular eBBSes on the internet back in the early 1990s, when the internet was still basically text-only!

I re-created the page last night before I went to sleep, because I felt that, in the end, there would be no objections. The article is still very short of course, but I feel sure others will add to it once they become aware of its existence. I may well add to it later on myself.

CambridgeBayWeather, I would *kindly* and hopefully *gently* advise you to look a bit harder at articles you're deleting. I have noticed in your talk page history here, that you have had similar reaction to mine.. and worse. A quick Google might help out. Don't get me wrong - I appreciate the time taken to combat vandalism and gumph!, and looking at the deletion logs it certainly looks as though you work hard at maintaining the Misplaced Pages.

Anyway, out of conflicts sometimes arise friendships - that's how I got to know Steve! Good luck and all the best. --Mal 13:17, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Just out of interest take a look at my deletion log. Yes I make mistakes but very few. If I was making more errors then I would stop. For some reason, yesterday was poor with three or four articles deleted in error. I don't really count the Everton players as they are all up at AfD now. Some do get deleted as empty and are then recreated with info and thoses I don't re-delete. What of course doesn't show up so easily are the speedy tags I remove. Anyway, I didn't/don't take offence at anything you said. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 13:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Boys And Girls (song)

It may interest you to know that there is currently a WikiProject on the Eurovision Song Contest underway. The article you deleted was part of that project, as it was a song which was intended to be performed at the Contest and which was ultimately not performed. I'll admit that I should have categorised it as a stub, since I was planning on returning to it later (after I've hunted out my copy of the song to provide more useful information on it), but simply deleting it seems a trifle heavy-handed to me.

Please see my pennyworth at the user:BigHaz Talk page. Cheers. --Dweller 08:45, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Deleting Tool of the System

Hey, man... why'd you drop that? -- ToolOfTheSystem

AfD thanks

Like an RfA thanks, except I'm thanking you for helping with my AfD. =] --M1ss1ontomars2k4 17:45, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Better that you pointed it out that not doing anything at all, right? --M1ss1ontomars2k4 17:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: Vandals

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. The first one is indefinately blocked and since the others haven't vandalised recently I'll leave them alone. --Pilot|guy 13:33, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

Need help woth "Fixwiki"

Sorry to bug you with this, but I have a 3RR situation on my hands and no time to document it. The context is Le Sage's theory of gravitation. Just look at the history, as User talk:Fixwiki and talk:Le Sage's theory of gravitation. I think that the case for a block against Fixwiki will be obvious. --EMS | Talk 18:06, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I saw the warning you gave "Fixwiki". Thank you very much. --EMS | Talk 01:24, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again, this time for blocking "Fixwiki". I have my doubts that it will work, but hopefully his being disciplined will make him more cooperative. In any case, he needed this. BTW - That anon who reverted that article the day before yesterday very much was Fixwiki, who must have forgotten to log in at the time. I'm sorry that I forgot to mention that to you. --EMS | Talk 17:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

One more thing - If "Fixwiki" does complain on about you, please let me know. I will be happy to back you up on this. --EMS | Talk 17:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

explanation for reverts

A very full explanation of why the Lesage article should be reverted has been given in the Discussion page for that article. All of my edits are factual, pertinent, verifiable, NPOV, and correct. In contrast, much of the material inserted by the well-known physics crackpots Minkst, Stowe, Schafer is false, not relevant, certainly not verifiable, highly POV, and technically incorrect. If you choose to favor them simply because they will kiss your ass, whereas I will will not, then so be it. This is partly an experiment to see how Misplaced Pages works, and whether the administrators respond to the value of the actual content, or to the social ass-kissing aspects of the various editors. For example, you appear ready to crunch down on perceived 3 rv's per day, claiming that I haven't explained myself (after about 1000 pages of Discussion!)and yet you totally ignore the gross violation of the Wiki policies against self-promotion and posting unverifiable "original research". And you don't bat an eye when the three crackpots expunge all the actual scientific content, like Steve Carlip's discussion, who is a distinguished and recognized expert, and replace it with Tom "faces on Mars" van Flandern.

Dude, you are out to lunch on this.

WikiProject on Hard Rock

I am looking for people to help me create a wikiproject on hard rock. Are you interested, or do you know anyone who could join the project and help me. (BritisH PunK 20:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC))

Kellen Kash says keep AKALA

this rapper is going to be a big name and making big noise. I am writing on him right now for TOOHOTMAGAZINE.COM and TOOHOTRADIO.COM his videos are in heavy rotation in the UK and should stay —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.166.176.158 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 22 June 2006.

I have no idea who Kellen Kash is but my talk page is not the place to discuss this. Please goto Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Akala (rapper). CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 14:58, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Template:or-cr

When tagging orphaned fair use images, could you please use {{subst:orfud}} instead of {{or-cr}}? The reason is the former will sort them into categories by date and the latter does not, dumping it instead into a large bucket of orphaned images (see Category:Orphaned fairuse images). Thanks. --BrownCow • (how now?) 16:55, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

The relevant images (that I saw) are Image:Childface.jpg, Image:Childface2.jpg, and Image:Childface3.jpg. Thanks. --BrownCow • (how now?) 18:01, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

hi

the post i made was substantial. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pdlawry (talk • contribs) 00:24, 23 June 2006.

Theory of relativity issue

Basically, I am battling user:Der alte Hexenmeister (who is known on USENET as Androcles). thiss diff shows the nature of the difference of opinion. this diff shows the attitude of Der alte Hexenmeister. In fact, there is an RfC against Der alte Hexenmeister at Misplaced Pages:Requests for comment/Der alte Hexenmeister.

Please see the theory of relativity edit history, user talk:Der alte Hexenmeister, and the RfC. At this time, he is mostly violating WP:CIVIL, WP:NOR, and WP:NPOV. He is not violating WP:3RR. A block against him would be nice, but whether or not you do that some advice on how to proceed against him would be appreciated. Let me put it this way: Is it time to do an RfAr? --EMS | Talk 04:54, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Article deletion

Hi there,

you recently deleted an article called "Dave's Flaps" which I added to the site this morning.

I appreciate this artice has absolutely no use to anyone except a small group of my friends, and accept it's deletion.

However, is it possible to reinstate the article for a short period of time ? as a few of the people I'd like to see it are in different timezones and were unable to view it.

Apologies if I've broken any rules, however the article itself contained no profanity, abuse, threats or offensive context, so I'd appreciate if this could be reviewed/reinstated.

thanks

User:Erwinschwab

I just categorized and fixed the formatting of 33863 Elfriederwin, posted by Erwinschwab (talk · contribs), whom you have warned with blocking for a previous copyvio. Erwin Schwab appears to be an astronomer and discoverer or co-discoverer of a number of asteroids, and it is quite possible that he was in fact the original author of the article you deleted. 33863 Elfriederwin (named after his parents) may OTOH possiby be seen as vanity, but we do have articles on thousands of other asteroids and it should at least not be speedy deleted.

Thanks for the heads up! I was just getting around to creating a page for Stansbury Hall when I got your message. :)

Renaming a page title

I made a redirect page for the WVU Field House, but the page reads Wvu field house. Is there a way to correct this? --DarkAudit 13:24, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
