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)

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.
