Thanks

Thanks for adding {{oldprodfull}} to the various articles I deprodded today. I do normally go back and add the tag myself, but you doing so saved me some time so thanks for that. --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:19, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

You're welcome, but I was not just tagging your deprods; I am doing it for all the oldprods that I come across. Do you know if there are any bots that can help with this task? Beltline (talk) 23:23, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

I did realize you were doing it for all of the ones from the last day, so "thanks" on behalf of those people too. :)

There isn't currently a bot that does the job, but I was definitely considering writing one as soon as a I finished up a couple other programming projects I am working on currently. --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:26, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Is there an archive, or listing anywhere, of all articles that have been prodded in the past? Beltline (talk) 23:38, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Not that I know of. --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:50, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

"Contested" prod of European Parliament election, 2014 (United Kingdom)

Hi. You recently removed a prod tag from the above article, labelling it as "previously contested". However, if you look at the actual edit (including summary) that first removed the prod tag, it seems clear that the editor in question agreed that the article was inappropriate, as did the subsequent one. WP:CONTESTED is fairly clear about situations like that: it is OK to restore a prod tag that was clearly removed in error, or in support of an even speedier deletion. And as near as I can tell, neither the original creator nor anyone else has expressed an opinion that the article should be kept. So unless you yourself want to contest the prod (as is of course your right), I would appreciate it if you undid your last edit, to save everyone the effort of a pointless AfD.

The deletion of the article is not uncontroversial. Beltline (talk) 21:12, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
