GSD Corporation

How could anything be more formalized than the Department of State publishing infomation declaring and recognization the incorporation of a new C-Corporation? As I understand Wikipedia's guidelines there exists no bias towards larger companies, or necessarily those with more press attention. Perhaps I'm mistaken about this? As soon as the State of Delaware files the paperwork, the corporation will exist as a legal entity... is it then that legal corporate entities do not qualify as being notable for an encyclopedia entry, but any number of other entities of lesser standing might?

Sorry, I've had many poor experiences with Wikipedia authorities in the past, who have often abused their authority as moderators and in flagging articles for deletion, etc. So I must ask, are there other moderators besides you who feel this way?

Beltana, South Australia

I see that you were the one who added most of the references to Beltana, South Australia. It looks like you made some sort of error. What should really be there, rather than something called Aird G 1984 with links to a nonexistent section Beltanawontdie? Ntsimp (talk) 21:58, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello, I'm just writing to say the result to the AfD you put on the talk page points to the first AfD (from 2005), not the last one. Could you please fix this?--Boffob (talk) 11:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Edit to David Judge (actor)

My original edit WAS backed up and was also signposted very clearly as "to be confirmed or denied". I can now tell you that the rumour is true, following a telephone call to Lime Pictures, makers of Hollyoaks - Bidefax 16:02, 14 July 2008 (BST)

Reply to: Hi Bidefax. Before adding material stating something like (x has been sacked from y) to a biography you MUST supply a source. At the other end of this article is a living person that your edit may be causing distress to so you have to back your facts up. Please read Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons - Peripitus (Talk) 21:45, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Supratim's Entry

Thanks for your concern. I would have thought that the person is not important here. What is important here is the event, and the exceeding rarity of this. If I were given a choice I would like to record such events for posterity, just for their rarity and uniqueness.

The book "Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine" by George M. Gould (http://www.amazon.com/Anomalies-and-Curiosities-of-Medicine/dp/B001B0A17U/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1216391769&sr=8-2) was compiled by Gould (and his friend Pyle), by resorting to such "single", "insignificant" events. They had all been published in separate journals and in separate years (separated by centuries!). If the authors of those single and insignificant events had chosen NOT to publish those events, such significant book would never have been produced.

Who knows after a year another similar even occurs and then another and then another, and then one could make a significant book out of it. Doctors could perhaps study those cases, to know how to deal with such cases in future. Lay people would read such books for their sheer amazing quality.

Thanks

Supratim's Entry

Alright Peripitus. If that is the way you feel. I am a medical doctor by profession, so I guess, I get excited by these kinds of news. May be I will have to put on the goggles of a non-medical man, to see it from that angle. I can not comment any more on this topic. My views of course remain unchanged. But just the same, it appears I can't change yours either. Since you sound more intelligent out of the two of us, let's go by your wish. I am anyway an old man, and may not survive long to see this entry for a long time. Regards Anil Aggrawal Anil1956 (talk) 17:44, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

So... why not? You do great article work, you have clue and good judgement, you've been around for ages. Up for it? —Giggy 01:23, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

OK, it lives. There's some instructions over at WP:RFA/N you should probably read through, then transclude it when you're feeling particularly brave. —Giggy 11:34, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Good luck! —Giggy 03:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Good on ya! :-) —Giggy 06:57, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Admin congrats!

Let me be the first to give you congrats. They haven't closed your RfA yet, but it's overdue to be closed by about 20 minutes. In any case, congrats! I hope you don't get too many jokes about blocking jimbo and deleting the main page... Okiefromokla ^questions? 04:16, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

You're a sysop!

Hi, Peripitus, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop!

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, block anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on articles for deletion for more than 5 days (provided there's a consensus), protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=

Hi, just to let you know there's normally no need to remove debates from this page manually as in this edit. My bot generally does it every day or two, and also adds closed ones to the archive. the wub "?!" 12:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC) P.S. Congratulations on your adminship!
