SmogWatch

I appriciate your concern about my SmogWatch article, but I spent a fair amount of time creating this work and I believe it deserves a place on Wikipedia as much as anything else. Thanks for your interest in my work. Gareth Kelleher

As I noted on your talk page, you are violating WP:COI by creating articles about yourself. Additionally, you continue to recreate deleted articles. Please stop. IrishGuy ^talk 22:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

I have to say I do still disagree somewhat, and still believe that article should remain, but I shall have to respect your opinion and viewpoint on this matter and shall have to leave the article off the encyclopedia. (Kelnet 22:37, 25 February 2007 (UTC)) I would however like to know how a page like Cuntbusting is allowed to exist whereas pages such as my own are not.

That article is under WP:AFD which you can see here. It will most likely be deleted soon. IrishGuy ^talk 23:01, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Zonaverdi

Hi, you appear to keep wanting to delete my article on the band 'Sykes'...? What appears to be the problem? Would appreciate some explanatory feedback - cheers, Zonaverdi. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zonaverdi (talk • contribs)

The article lacks any assertion of importance or notability. Please read WP:BAND. IrishGuy ^talk 21:03, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Fair play, fair play. Still, we clearly both need to get out more. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zonaverdi (talk • contribs)

Sebastian Bengtsson

I am Sebastian Bengtsson, your minor cleanup as you call it is in fact vandalism, since I have changed items on the profile, items that were untrue and needed rectifying. I'm considering reporting you for violation of a profile you know nothing about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.235.28.11 (talk • contribs)

The version I edited was correct per IMDB. I also corrected the formatting of the section headings. If you are Bengtsson, you shouldn't be editing that article as it is a conflict of interest violation. Please don't make threats. Thanks. IrishGuy ^talk 00:22, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

To begin with, i'm abolutely not making any threats, as you well know, a threat is a negative declaration of hostile intent, and that is not even close to my consideration of reporting you to wiki staff. If rectifying mistakes written about yourself (In both Wikipedia and IMDB, mind you) denotes a conflict of interest violation, i must consider it an impossible task to set my own record straight then, since corrections, even the most minute ones, are forbidden by me to apply. The only alternative then is to contact wiki staff and have them remove the faulty entries, a task quite redundant in actuality since i could have changed them myself sans the conflict of interest violation. Kafka springs to mind, i must say. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.235.28.11 (talk • contribs)

DeLillo links

I fail to see the point of your edits to remove all reference to the most comprehensive DeLillo site on the web, "Don DeLillo's America". The site offers more detailed information than many of the Wikipedia articles and would be of interest to anyone reading the pages about DeLillo or his work. What harm does including the link cause and why did you go through the trouble to remove them from all his pages? Inoculatedcities 21:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

First, it was spam. The links were added by the site owner in all DeLillo articles. Second, the pages offer nothing of note. The same information was already on Wikipedia. IrishGuy ^talk 21:41, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

AfD details

In reply to this comment, which you have already archived:

I linked to the previous version in the AfD. There is nothing disingenuous with what I am doing. I am removing uncited material, which is what we are supposed to do. With regard to the YSIT article, I am removing poorly written, vague material. I am now seeking independent comment on this situation. Oh, and I didn't threaten you. We are supposed to warn editors when they are close to violating 3RR. --Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 00:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, you could try using the {{fact}} tag which would allow the original author or other editors to add references rather than simply remove 60% of an article because there isn't a reference link after every single sentence. You aren't an admin, and as I noted before, you have already broken the 3RR so I'm not sure why you decided to make veiled threats to me about it. IrishGuy ^talk 00:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Again: it's not a threat. It's an accepted and recommended practice. Three reverts is the limit; four breaks the rule. Please be reasonable. --Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 00:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe I have been unreasonable. You are the one who slapped a "notability" tag on an article with references that included an article in Variety because they have a deal with NBC. Not exactly non-notable. You also put the same tag on an actor with numerous IMDB credits. You also used a less-than-honest edit summary. Here you claim that "removing tags as a show of good will" when in fact you removed the tags...and about 50% of the article. You weren't simply removing tags. I even asked you if you needed assistance finishing an AfD...which you never bother to respond to. Instead you came here and left the above rude note. IrishGuy ^talk 01:02, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I didn't feel that having a deal with a network was notable until they actually produced something. In reviewing the details of the deal, I came to agree with the tag's removal. I have addressed the YSIT problems: You continue to revert all of my edits, despite arguing only against some of them. I restored the edits I made, and removed the tags you disagreed with. I feel you are being disingenuous and defamatory. Additionally, I have not once been rude to you, but you have raised my ire with your behavior toward me. Oh, and the message you left on my talk page might have been more noticeable had you actually started a new section; as it is, it just blends in with another conversation.--Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 01:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I haven't reverted all your edits. Only one article did I revert your edits and I explained why. In a couple other article I fleshed them out and removed the tags. If an article truly is non-notable, then it is non-notable. It is extremely disingenuous to strip an article down to one sentence and then slap a "notability" tag on it. IrishGuy ^talk 01:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I was only talking about your reverts on the YSIT page. OK, let's stop arguing because this is stupid. I don't doubt you want the best for Wikipedia and for these articles, whether it be their improvement or removal. Let's work together. I am sorry that you feel I have acted in error. I removed information that was uncited, and what was left was not notable. If you feel this was inappropriate, please work with me to do this the right way. Thanks, Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 01:17, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Believe it or not, I am trying to work with you and not against you. I am not a radical inclusionist. I have put up a fair amount of article for AfD and speedy deletion. But I personally feel that an article should be left in full when tagged so the closing admin can see it in its entirety. I will concede that I may not have been as clear as I probably should/could have been. Sometimes typed text comes across differently than the original intention. IrishGuy ^talk 01:26, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Add my voice to the chorus of people who are finding Future Fun Jumper (TIC)'s approach to editing to be harsh, absolute and without flexibility in any way. I'm also finding it quite disturbing you are constantly quoting Wiki rules to defend your "suggestions" yet you seem quite unopen to another aspect of the Wiki that makes it a great place: collaboration. Many of the claims you're making regarding deletion or citation are somewhat out of left-field and based only on your own personal view point. Everyone at Wiki has different views and that adds/enhances the Wiki experience. But from reading your very strict interpretation of these rules, there seems to be right/wrong and no inbetween. I personally do not think you will improve articles by being this OCD and strict. And perhaps you should learn about rewrites ad cleanups. Because from a simple viewing of the tags you're obsessively adding, it seems that a simple rewording could fix most of the questions at hand. SpyMagician 04:07, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what tags I am obsessively adding. I believe that I was actually asking Future Fun Jumper (TIC) to ease up on the tags needing references for almost every sentence. IrishGuy ^talk 04:20, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the confussion, but my note was in reference to Future Fun Jumper (TIC) and his tactics at editing. It's simply too harsh, to reliant on claiming Wiki rules without thought given to Wiki style really being the main cause of contention.SpyMagician 04:23, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Ah. OK. I was wondering if you confused my edits with his because I couldn't understand why it felt like you were chastising me. I agree that he seems to desire citations for absolutely everything which seems to be a bit much. Some of the article he tagged, I found references with a quick google search...the same he could have found had he taken a few moments to do so. IrishGuy ^talk 04:25, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI, Future Fun Jumper (TIC) is an idiot. He's been busted and now he's taken to "moving" his "talk" page to an "artchive" undoubtedly to make sure others don't see what he's done in the past. Pathetic and very much not in the spirit of the Wiki. He's also taken to making very pointed—yet baseless—claims against me because I simpley *GASP* provided clearer citations to some of the articles he asked for citations on. I merely do better linking in a few articles that are messy and he flames me and accuses me of all kinds of junk? There's no pleasing this editor in any way. He has power issues. SpyMagician 10:28, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

1. I was attempting to archive like IrishGuy. 2. Please note that among the articles that are involved in this dispute are several that this user has a conflict of interest with, in particular, the one about him.[1] --Future Fun Jumper (TIC) 10:51, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Future Fun Jumper (TIC), your claims are baseless and only after you were caught hiding your own discussion/talk page did you sudden change your tune. What is amazing to me is to see how many "deletion" and "citation" claims you have placed on articles, yet you basically don't positively contriubute to artciles unless it involves covering your tracks or making your own profile look better. With one week under his belt, Future Fun Jumper (TIC) is doing a great job of endearing himself to nobody and generally acting like a troll. Apologies IrishGuy if posting this here is inappropriate, but I am simply sick of Future Fun Jumper (TIC) and the way he has contributed to the Wiki. SpyMagician 10:55, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Wow. OK. SpyMagician, calling someone and idiot is a violation of WP:CIV and WP:ATTACK. If you are Jack Szwergold, FFJ is correct, you really shouldn't be editing that article per WP:COI. FFJ isn't hiding his talk page by archiving it as long as he has a link to the archived page. Now, all that being said, FFJ, you probably could ease up a little on being so black and white about some of the notability guidelines. At bare minimum, a little discussion on the article's talk pages before adding numerous tags might be helpful to other editors. But seriously, guys this fighting isn't helping anything. IrishGuy ^talk 21:02, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandal Tag

Sorry, I wouldn't want you to get the wrong end of the stick - I wasn't calling you a vandal, I was saying that the tag you put on the article was saying that it was a vandal one, when it isn't. I know the radio tramp, he's well known round here. BTW, I'm from Donegal myself. Gypsy Eyes 00:28, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

No, the tag states that the subject is unencyclopedic. And he is. IrishGuy ^talk 00:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandalism

Hi there; I happened to come across your warnings to User:Chanceyb (I was NP patrolling), and researched you a bit. Please do not be offended if this has come up before; have you ever thought of going for Admin? You have a very healthy, well-spread edit count, and I cannot see you failing. You may, of course, have decided not to, in which case please tell me to mind my own business.--Anthony.bradbury 00:42, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Honestly, it isn't something I ever gave a great deal of thought to. Maybe I should think about it. Thanks for the kind words. IrishGuy ^talk 00:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Vandal Report

Chancyb (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) - can you tell me what the page is that this vandal kept removing speedy tags from? When the pages are deleted, it gets removed from contributions.--Kungfu Adam ^(talk) 01:39, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I can't recall off the top of my head. It was a list of hottest women or something like that. He made two identical ones with slightly different spellings in the title and between the two, he removed the speedy tags about six times. Sorry I couldn't be more help. It was a few hours and many edits ago and I just don't remember the title. IrishGuy ^talk 05:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Free Energy Maglev

Hi, you recently nominated this for speedy deletion. Please note that original research is not a speedy deletion criteria, so I have removed your tag. I agree that the article should be deleted, and so I have prodded it. J Milburn 18:44, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Popups

You seem to have the same problem with popups..Try Using IE7 or Mozilla Firefox..cause that will solve the problem--Cometstyles 19:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I am using IE7. It only seemed to have begun happening a few hours ago. Odd. IrishGuy ^talk 19:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Yup..It happened to me so I reverted back to Mozilla and its working perfectly..try it..--Cometstyles 19:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

sorry

Irishguy i'm sorry that me and you got of to a bad start It is only my seccond day I hope we arn't fighting all the time--Ben Hall13 16:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

It's no problem at all. Feel free to leave a message here if you need any assistance with anything. IrishGuy ^talk 17:09, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI

Hiya, just as a note of explanation, I hope you know that I'm also very anti-spam on the magician bios. I do recommend taking a look at the article creator's contribs though. He's a very new editor, but has been doing some absolutely phenomenal work right out of the gate, like at Impalement arts. As such, I'd like to give him as much positive encouragement as possible. With the right guidance, he could turn out to be a big help with the magician articles.  :) --Elonka 19:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I saw his previous edits and I agree that he has added some good work. The new articles, though, seem lacking in sources. At least at this time. Hopefully, they will be fleshed out. IrishGuy ^talk 19:31, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

RFA question

Heya IrishGuy. You've been around for a while, so I didn't feel worried about asking my question. Interested in your answer! - Ta bu shi da yu 05:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

That was a very interesting question you posed. I hope my answer was satisfactory. IrishGuy ^talk 05:53, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

The Weakly Lawyer

Hi. I just thought I'd let you know that in reviewing CAT:CSD a little while ago, I declined to delete the above article that you tagged. It's obviously a short article so far, but it was just created today by a first-time contributor, and it appears a good-faith case for notability could be made, so I thought it was premature to delete it although I have noted on both the article talkpage and the creator's that the assertion of notability needs to be beefed up. I think the article is harmless but if it hasn't grown stronger after a reasonable time I suppose you could re-tag the article or put it up for AfD.

Even though we seem not to have identical deletion standards, I still stand by my support !vote on your RfA and look forward to it continuing to enjoy the rousing success it's had so far. Regards, Newyorkbrad 22:44, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know....and thank you for not altering your RfA stance :)

I initially tagged it because it has no Alexa presence and Google finds only two hits for the title [2] and three for the web URL [3]. There didn't appear to be much opportunity for notability. I'm not arguing against your removal of the tag, just letting you understand my motivation for adding the tag. IrishGuy ^talk 22:47, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Heather Carter

Thank you for your patience.

Johncaron.ca 03:08, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

CSD

You recently nominated [4] for speedy....but theres a plain and clear assertion of notability. I removed the speedy tag. You can AFD it if you want or prod it. Speedy deletions are not for non-notable things, they're for things with no ASSERTION of notability (and a link to IMDB and a filmography is an assertion).

Something you should be aware of as an administrator seeing as you have a pending RFA. ⇒ SWATJester ^{On Belay!} 01:52, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I realize that articles aren't to be speedied if there is an assertion of notability. How is saying someone appeared in a television show an assertion of notability? Just appearing on a show isn't automatic notability. The article is one sentence long. IrishGuy ^talk 01:54, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Get a fu#king life ! I simply started the process of cleaning up some really bad journalism. Presumably yours ! Don't waste your / my time with trivial comments.....Dannyg3332 18:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Please read WP:CIV. I don't think calling the opposite team the "hated Celtics" is cleaning up bad journalism, but is instead adding POV commentary. Also, as I noted, you were making large scale edits and marking your edits as minor when in fact they weren't. IrishGuy ^talk 06:41, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

The problem is beyond the "hated Celtics" reference. This is supposed to be objective. Learn sentence structure and how to write if you continue to pursue journalism......Dannyg3332 18:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Actually, you added the "hated Celtics" reference. Once again, I ask you to read WP:CIV before continuing in such a rude manner. IrishGuy ^talk 18:37, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I did not originate that reference. Try practicing your grammar in sandbox before proceeding......Dannyg3332 18:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

I take it you have no desire to follow the guidelines on civility? IrishGuy ^talk 18:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Christopher_Lotito

I have provided a detailed rebuttal to claims that I am a non-notable at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_review/Log/2007_February_20#Christopher_Lotito -- since you last weighed in on the topic. Please do look at it and consider the new information I've provided. Thank you.

Rownak

The speedy delete template you placed on the page for Rownak was removed by Rownak7. I'm not sure why he doesn't create a user page for this stuff. He's been hiding the page as a redirect to his favorite Manga artist. I found it because he used the page as grafitti on the Japanese artists list. I replaced the template. - Parsa 20:09, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

You're now an admin. Spend some time on the administrator's reading list, and don't hesitate to ask questions. Be conservative with the tools.

I'm sure you'll do well, as you had overwhelming support, so off with you to use your shiny new tools. :) - Taxman ^Talk 23:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Reply To RFA Thank You

Perhaps you can answer a question for me. Lately I feel as though my skin is too thin, that whenever I see someone being bullied, I get too angry. I want to help those people, but I don't know how. I wish I could become an admin, but I'm not sure if it could happen. I was wondering if you had any advice on what I could do. Just H^{editor review} 04:13, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

There is nothing wrong with wanting to help others. On the contrary, it is admirable. If it is a serious policy violation, obviously there are avenues to take it (WP:AIV, Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, etc.). If you find that you are getting too angry, simply notify an admin and try to walk away and relax. IrishGuy ^talk 04:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Just want to say hi

I've seen you around, Irishguy, and I just wanted to take the time to say hi. I know, what a lame think to spend about 5 minutes typing this all up for.

A7 Band

What exactly is an A7 band? You recently deleted one of my pages because of this. -CHITOMCGEE!!!

A7 is deletion criteria. It means it's an article about a band that does not assert the importance of the subject. If some degree of importance is asserted, then it cannot be speedy deleted. If, at that point, an editor still believe it fails WP:BAND, it would go to AfD. IrishGuy ^talk 20:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The page is back, and it looks like it may need some salt. Flyguy649^talk_contribs 20:29, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

OK. Thanks. IrishGuy ^talk 20:30, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

FYI, WP:PT is used instead of the {{deletedpage}} template. Unless the page currently is in a deleted state, listing it at WP:PT has no effect. —David Levy 21:08, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, sorry about the confusion there. I did a deletedpage first, but then decided to list it on WP:PT instead. Immediately after I removed the deletedpage template, it was recreated. At that point, I just decided to go with the deletedpage template and I forgot to remove it from WP:PT. My apologies. IrishGuy ^talk 21:11, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

A language that you made up yourself is not encyclopedic. Please stop abusing Wikipedia. IrishGuy ^talk 22:08, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Its not a launguage i made up and it may not be in the encyclopedia because it is a new fad but still with the invention of internet encyclopedias you should be able to add new things so that it is always up to date. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.230.182.167 (talk • contribs)

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia therefore what is in it needs to be encyclopedic. Writing articles that state: This in derka language means fuck you irshguy. Stop fucking with my page your bein a fuckin asshole that is all you accomplish why dont you get friends instead of messinfg with other peoples pages is not very encyclopedic. Your block is only for 24 hours. Upon your return, please edit in a more constructive fashion. Thanks. IrishGuy ^talk 22:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

The only reason i would type that is because you were bein a genuine asshole about something you know nothing about. If you would have simply been like; YIm going to have to block this because it looks like nonsens and if you would have givin me a chance to explain it then i would have been fine with you deleting it but you were an asshole just deleting it over and over and over again you knew i made the page you could have said something you were just bein a bitch

Hi Irishguy. Hope you don'tr mind, I have extended the block you just placed on the above IP. Given that all it had done was blank the same few pages, it's probably a static IP being used by just the one person (to vandalise), so I have softblocked it for 6 months.

I don't mind at all. Thanks. IrishGuy ^talk 22:38, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Clarification on A7 for user pages

WP:CSD contains the following text "For any user pages that are not speedy deletion candidates, use Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion." This suggests to me that user pages can be candidates for speedy deletion. Since this comes from official policy, could you please point me to the other policy that says that it is wrong to put a speedy deletion request on a user page. I appreciate your guidance. Thanks. -- Mufka ^{(user) (talk) (contribs)} 22:55, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

User pages can be speedied, but under CSD U1 and CSD U2 which are userpage speedy categories. Anything other than those two would be kicked over to WP:MFD. Honestly, I don't know if THE G.O.L.E would get through MfD because there aren't any links so it isn't exactly advertising. User's can technically put information about themselves on their user pages and this one might fall within those guidelines. While I personally think it is a bit of an advertisement, I don't think it would be deleted under MfD. Feel free to try it though, I could be wrong. IrishGuy ^talk 23:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

editing

Please do not edit my talk page. Repeated vandalizing will result in me blocking you. Historywiz123 00:20, 26 February 2007 (UTC)Historywiz123
