"Firstly, you can't - note that the sign says "do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself". Secondly, read the template much?" Your language is unnecessarily sarcastic. I did read the template and addressed those issues in my talk page. If you don't approve the language in my page, you're more than welcome to re-write the offending language. It would be helpful if you pointed out what exactly you feel does not meet wikipedia standards. Thank you. --arosebyanyother 02:55, 14 September 2009 (UTC) --arosebyanyother 02:50, 14 September 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by A RoseByAnyOther (talk • contribs)

Anne Godwin

Hi. Just wanted to say thanks for your help improving the Anne Godwin page. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 10:34, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Godwin is OK for now. There was no paucity of info. But I'd appreciate any info. you could get on Maud Burnett that isn't already on her page. I couldn't come up with too much on her. Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 10:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again. I have never submitted a DYK, but whatever you think is appropriate. I'll start looking it up (WP:DYK, I guess). Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 11:08, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Re: Anne Wexler. I was not being disingenuous or dishonest when I told you I had never done a DYK. As far as the Wexler DYK goes, all I know is that I had made an update following her death before the article was DYKed and I was included in the notification process. I never submitted or nominated the Wexler article, and was a little surprised at being notified at all. Yours, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 12:55, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Crazyjikn

Fair enough. Do you think it would have been better if I just CSD all of his articles and just ignored him? He would get frustrated (as I assume he thinks he is helping Misplaced Pages) and then would get angry and not want to contribute. The major reason I actually wrote him a message was due to him creating a number of articles (and not just one or two) and my hope was that he would stop and perhaps take a quick glance to those pages. I meant no harm.Calaka (talk) 14:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

OK I am sorry. I did not intend my message to be rude and I still have trouble seeing it as such (I will remove it and leave it up to someone else to write out a little note for him if they wish) and instead of telling him to stop creating articles and read, I will post the welcome message up and leave it up to him to decide whether he wants to read it or not. Furthermore if he should not read the links provided by the welcome message, then me even posting a welcome message seems a bit redundant (with those links present that is).

Anyway point being if my NON-bot messages appear rude (when I honest to god meant well) I will refrain from doing so in the future. I guess many of the newbies will think the bot welcome message will be something I wrote out anyway so it will do. I am again sorry. Cheers.Calaka (talk) 15:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Well I am sure you are aware that tone is completely random when there are no physical cues (aka on the internet and you surely heard the study that a large proportion of what is written on email has its tone misinterpreted) like smiley faces and what not, so again I meant well and did in no way meant to appear like a bully.

Re:Bds69. Oh ok. So when he calls me a douche it doesn't matter, I shouldn't take it personal? Just because I have been here long enough. Or maybe because you know I won't be leaving when someone says something mean to me over the internet? Would your have thought differently if I was to get offended and simply leave? Can I wait 6 months and if he is still around get to call him a douche because he is not a newbie anymore? Frankly, I care very little about people that decide to insult me on the net, and I am not going to prance around all nice to them and take it (and in the end, isn’t he putting references on Misplaced Pages... which was the point of the discussion? Would he have been adding them if I didn't talk to him?). But fine. You win. I am not going to argue with you since you are right after all.

Re: what to do with Misplaced Pages. Well no matter what you said (I am not offended in the end even though it might appear that way hehe) I still want to help Misplaced Pages. But I will refrain from making any written negative comments (speedy and bot written warnings are still OK hey!). I will make bot replies and welcome messages and only bother to write a personal message only to new users that are doing a good job. I will leave all the other newbies that need help up to the polite individuals here (which thankfully is the majority right?).

Happy editing.Calaka (talk) 03:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)

Well done

... on your TFA :) Not often you get one of them is it?  GARDEN  15:21, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

First one :). Got it promoted months back, but I haven't had a chance to stick it on the main page until now. Ironholds (talk) 15:50, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Imhotep

Imhotep is the title character of at least three separate well-known films, and one of the most iconic characters of the horror genre. Surely that counts as notable by Misplaced Pages standards?

You might wait at least a few minutes to see what a fellow editor is doing before you attempt to erase it. Nareek (talk) 16:06, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Imhotep certainly meets formal Misplaced Pages criteria for notability. There is an extensive literature on 1930s horror cinema, which discusses the character of Imhotep at length. And, no, I don't have this literature in my living room.

Do a "What links here" for Imhotep (film). Those are links that formerly went to Imhotep, a page that doesn't mention the film character, and so were wrongly directed. If you make Imhotep (film) a redirect to The Mummy (1932 film), then the references to the character that relate primarily to the 1999 film will be misplaced--and the same thing will happen if you make it a redirect to the 1999 film. It's a character that is repeatedly referred to in Misplaced Pages articles, and it appears in multiple notable works--that's why it would be helpful for it to have its own article. Nareek (talk) 16:41, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

We should all try to be pleasant when dealing with our fellow editors; if you think about for a moment, you might see why remarks like "again, missing the point" are not helpful.

Especially when I did address exactly that point: Imhotep (film) does meet the formal Misplaced Pages criteria for notability. The character has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Do a Google Books search for "Imhotep horror," and you'll find numerous works where the character is addressed. He's one of the key icons of the horror film, along with Frankenstein's monster and Count Dracula--both of whom have their own articles independent of the fictional works they first appeared in. As does Kharis, a lesser-known embodiment of the Mummy archetype. Nareek (talk) 16:58, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

There appears to be an error in both this article itself and in the main-page summary of it today. See my comments on the article's talk page and in the error reports for the main page. Neutron (talk) 19:30, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Senna (Soul Reaper)‎

He created it by copy/pasting the first line of Bleach: Memories of Nobody. After it was tagged then redirected, he recreated it at Senna (Bleach) with more copy/pasting from the film article. He also made Blanks (Bleach) and is ignoring the notes on his talk page. How many times will he be allowed to recreate it? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:37, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Removed speedy deletion tag: Jon Willis

Hi Ironholds! Firstly, thanks for helping out in CSD areas. I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Jon Willis- because: Winning the British nationals twice would be a claim to notability. Also, this person has an article in the independent. Possible hoax.. I'm currently looking around for sources. But not a suitable A7. If you have any questions or other message, please contact me. Thanks Kingpin (talk) 15:22, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Definitely notable, IMO. See this BBC article. I'll give the article a clean-up. - Kingpin (talk) 15:27, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Gipsy entertainment music

Hi! I saw that you've redirected the page Gipsy entertainment music to Romani music. I think that "Gipsy entertainment music" should be deleted altogether as it has no base and its just useless.

Hugo Stiglitz

I think Hugo Stiglitz (character) does not fail these guidlines as the character is becoming an internet meme in his own right already. WelcomeAtlas (talk) 16:46, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

It appears to be covered by lots of websites and Hugo Stiglitz is, again, becoming an internet meme so it's hard to simply exclude blogs and forums. WelcomeAtlas (talk) 16:55, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

A7 notice

Hi there,

I would like some clarification on what the actual requirements of A7 are. They seem to be very vague. A lot of pages seem to apply to this rule. , , etc. How do they differ? Reading them, they do not seem to cite why they should be in wikipedia.

Theatre Delicatessen have put on the first showing of a couple of plays in London, along with the only revival of David Hare's Fanshen. In theatre, that's a big deal.

Some more information so I can improve the article would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keteracel (talk • contribs) 16:13, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

RE: Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Phoenix fire apparatus

Would you considering userfying the article which you put up for deletion? The will delete it from main space completely and move it to a subpage of the creators.

The editor is a new editor, (this is his very first edit) userfying will give the new user a chance to rework this article and maybe wikipedia will get a long term dedicated editor

Please let me know as soon as possible, because as soon as someone else comments on the AfD, they must agree also before I can userfy the article. Thanks for your time.Ikip (talk) 02:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Moved from user: ikip

I'm not an admin, so the whole "deleting" part is going to be a fail. Userfying is for articles which have a chance of being useable if worked upon - this isn't one of those articles. Ironholds (talk) 02:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Actually if anyone moves an article to a user page, and then types {{db-rediruser}} the redirect will be deleted quickly. This article does not appear notable at all. That said, it is the users one and only edit, and so I was hoping to give them a chance. Thanks for your response though. Good luck. Ikip (talk) 02:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

RE: Floodwood Mountain Reservation would you consider userfying this article? Again, the editor is a new editor, whose first edits were Floodwood Mountain Reservation. I looked for sources, and there are none, so it should not be on wikipedia.

You could always watch this userfied page, and in a couple of months speedy delete it, or I can, if you wish. The worst that will happen is the new editor leaves, and the article languishes. But maybe in those two months, the editor will continue to edit wikipedia and become a strong and dedicated editor, and realize why the article should not be on wikipedia in the first place. Let me know what you think. I am watching your page. Ikip (talk) 02:51, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Again, no. Have you read the tag? It's a copyright violation, something by definition not acceptable in any userspace. Ironholds (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
