READ THIS:

Please create new sections at the bottom of the page. Do not presume I know which article you are talking about, provide a link so I do know, even if the article has been deleted. Also, sign your messages, so I know who you are. I will reply on your talk page, unless you tell me otherwise. Thanks!

If you do not know how to create sections or do not know how to sign messages, please familiarise yourself with those things here and here, respectively.

Any comments regarding mass nominations of D&D articles can be either made on the AfD pages if it refers to only some articles, or here if it is more general, so other project members can see it. Feel free to also leave me a message, but please leave one at one of those places, so other interested editors can find the comments easily.

Deletion

Hi mate, I hope all is well since we last spoke. If possible, can you take a look at Synthetic Generation (song), and possibly nominate it for deletion? Thanks. LuciferMorgan (talk) 12:46, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help. Have you been working on any particular articles of late? LuciferMorgan (talk) 12:54, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Mostly, I've been adding bits and pieces to articles here and there. I think your talents mean a few more FAs should come your way sometime, though to get them you should take on a bigger project here and there. Thought of a bigger article, like Arch Enemy or Lacuna Coil maybe? There's likely enough information lying around for GAs at least, and possibly FAs (if the info is there).

Blood_hawk

as per your request i have created a new section, and will be signing this. i think this mosnter is a prime candidate for deletion. would appreciate if you would be so kind to nominate it and/or leave me SIMPLE isntruction on my talk page telling me how to nominate things for deletion as the wikipedia section describing it went right over my head. keep cleaning up these non-notable monsters! shadzar|Talk|contribs 19:35, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

• ok gonna try this AfD thing on the blood hawk article. wish me luck and hope i dont break the internet doing it. but i gotta learn sometime right? (unless you beat me to it and do it before i even get to step one and adding the template. LOL ) EDIT: yup you beat me to it. thanks! i will try on one of the thousadns of other needless D&D mosnter articles. shadzar|Talk|contribs 19:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

I've replied to your request on my talk page. Cheers! ArcAngel (talk) 21:49, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Protection

Please feel free to undo the protection of this page.. it just seemed like some sort of group attack. I wasn't meaning to overstep you. Evil saltine (talk) 23:48, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Okay then. I was just looking at RC. Evil saltine (talk) 23:53, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

As an aside, this mess bears the distinctive marks of a leaderless organized attack; that is, someone was annoyed and chose to eschew more conventional forms of complaint by surfing over to 4chan or the like and going HAY GUYS $TARGET$ $INSTRUCTIONS$ $WARCRY$. I've seen a few and found the origin on some occasions. Just another of the fruits of the information age. You may wish to amuse yourself by imagining the sound of incoming anons bouncing off the page protection. --Kizor 19:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Looks like petty vengeance for a petty matter. We don't have much of a chance to catch the culprit without going all Sherlock Holmes on the Internet, so can I interest you in a vandalism counter? They come in userbox sizes too! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kizor (talk • contribs) 20:04, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

Dungeons & Dragons AfDs

Hunting down references for fictional things can be an arduous task. It often involves contacting other specialists - which in turn can take up much valuable time, what with the time zone thing and all - and large searches of dead-tree publications. The results can be rewarding, though, since the notability of such subjects need not obey intuition. I feel that editors should always try to conduct AfDs aiming to determine the result wholly on the basis of the subject's merits, which requires giving the editors a reasonable chance to ascertain those merits.

This does not happen when SEVERAL DOZEN ARE STARTED AT THE SAME TIME.

If this move was discussed before it was made, please link me to the arguments involved. In any case, it would very likely be for the best if you did not add any more for the time being, please. --Kizor 17:42, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

WP:HMM/GA

Alright, I updated everything by looking at the category for WP:HMM GAs. I just have to add one more. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 23:49, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Dude, you have to look here: User talk:Burningclean#Sabbath and User talk:Metalstyle#Opeth. I don't know how much you know about Opeth, but this guy is being completly irrational. He will not reason. Please talk to him. I am nearing going to bed for school in the morning and he will not stop. I've reverted multiple times because he is vandilising now, so I don't know if I will be, but he has violated 3RR. I also think he edits under his IP to seem more sneeky. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 04:39, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment. I plan to take it to FA (after a bit more work). I understand everything you said about that. I like having an admin involved with things like this because they can monitor what is going on. I really don't know too many admins, and due to the fact that I really only edit heavy metal articles I like having someone who knows what is going on somewhat. Thank you, —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 21:42, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm confident it is ready; Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Opeth. The Alice in Chains FAC was nearly the longest running FAC and kind of left a bad taste in my mouth. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 23:23, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Everytime I write an article I think it gets better. In some ways it may sound selfish, but I friggen love my work! —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 23:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Argh!

Hey, sorry to bug you, but since you're an admin and all I figured maybe you could help me. There is an IP editor, 64.81.22.37, who I noticed is putting links to a commercial website in articles about languages. You know, like "To purchase lessons on speaking Turkish, go to this site!" kinda deal. I can remove it all, that's no problem, but maybe there's something block-like you can do? The only edits the person has made are to language articles adding in this advertisement, so it's pretty obvious to me it's a single-use spam account. Howa0082 (talk) 20:05, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

D&D AfDs

Hi. While again I tend to agree with your choices of articles for deletion, is there any chance you can hold off adding more for a week until the current batch are processed? It is impossible to keep up and to give each article due consideration when they are nominated in such large numbers. - Bilby (talk) 22:49, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, what happened to giving it some time? There are now over 50 of these to keep track of. BOZ (talk) 23:06, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

At least Jack appreciates your efforts - there's something to be proud of. :) BOZ (talk) 13:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Yay, thanks Jack. I'll put it on my mantlepiece. J Milburn (talk) 18:26, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

MOTV Again

Thanks for reviewing the page I created a couple weeks ago. This will link you to the page you mentioned I could build in prior to officially launching in the Wikipedia "real" world for your review User:Ajbaer2/MyOutdoorTV. I originally tried to rewrite so it was less promotion and more information and this time I think we have it right. I mentioned to you that our company is getting lots of requests for a wiki page to talk about who we are - hopefully I have it correct.

Kopru

Would we necessarily merge Kopru into "Isle of Dread"? Maybe it would be better merged into "Stormwrack" and we could then present brief descriptions of the aquatic races that book has. --SpockMonkey (talk) 22:24, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Accept it

Accept it I Come From the Future (talk) and I know the next 3 presidents will be

• John McCain (2009-2013)
• Tim Pawlenty (2013-2021)
• Gavin Newsom (2021-????) —Preceding unsigned comment added by I Come From the Future (talk • contribs) 23:54, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Peer review

There's a new PR on the Metal page, from an editor who's rather enthusiastic but needs to learn the ropes so to speak. It'd be great if we could show him the ropes, and therefore gain another valuable editor to the project. I intend to review the article in question later, though it'd be great if you could lend your expertise. LuciferMorgan (talk) 08:15, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Ok, that sounds great... and I only listed it on the Metal page this morning too. LuciferMorgan (talk) 20:54, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

United Abominations

Do you think there is anything else I need to add to United Abominations? I think it needs a copyedit. Sorry about Desolate North, I honestly forgot about it. —Burningclean _{[Speak the truth!]} 00:04, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Protection

Hey, I went ahead and protected your talk page for an hour, there seems to be a ton of IP's that are vandalizing your talk page. If you would like it un-protected before then, please contact me. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 00:16, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Hehe, did not see you where a admin. Disregard my comment that is striked. Tiptoety ^talk 00:17, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
