Thanks for suggestion

re:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Promises of troop withdraw by American presidents throughout history Thanks for suggestion! What a great idea. I will put on Election_promise. Damn good idea!Travb 07:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Deja Vu

You wrote at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Secret plan: "I'm having deja vu. Merge this article with Election_promise"

How did you have deja vu? What are you refering too?Travb 00:42, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Cougar_Mountain

Excellent work on adding the Official Trails bits to Cougar Mountain. Good Work!

CAoW

Since you are listed as a Roman Catholic, I figured I'd send you this. Wikipedia:Catholic Alliance of wikipedia has been nominated for Deletion. Please vote and/or tell other people to vote to keep this organization on wikipedia. --Shanedidona 01:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please reconsider your call to merge this article. Another editor nominated it for deletion before the first draft was half written. It still isn't half written. I just have to save frequently because my computer is prone to freeze. Wikipedia has recognized three of my recent new articles on "Did you know...?" Durova 02:08, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My only hassle with the article, Durova, is the long name -- no one would type that into the search box to find it. Here is my reasoning: There is an article titled The Eleventh Commandment but not one titled Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican Endomion 02:13, 25 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Intelligent Design

All the ID stuff has been moved to User_talk:Endomion/Archive and this subject is closed. Endomion 21:55, 13 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of lesbian/lipstick lesbian templates from your page

I suspect this is due to the recent personal attacks by some very bigoted people implying you "can't be a real christian" because you're a lesbian.. It's sad that you feel you have to hide it because of a few nasty trolls. --Mistress Selina Kyle (Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉) 14:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well gosh, you just let the pussy out of the bag and blew my cover. Reminds me of the Plame Name Blame Game. Endomion 14:46, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you wrote the stub for Zeism - please add the sources you used. Thanks! KillerChihuahua?!? 21:09, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks much! I don't know if you noticed, but I added the stub cat of Nutrition and Dietetics - if that's not the best cat please feel free to change it, but that's where all the other nutrition and diet related disease and such are categorized. KillerChihuahua?!? 02:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My twin Gentgeen?

Hello, I just wanted to greet you because we are almost in the same spot on this chart. Endomion 19:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AFD

Apologies if my comments directed towards you in today's AFD sounded confrontational; I did not intend that, but rereading them I can see that they might have sounded that way. Thanks, —Matthew Brown (T:C) 03:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, I'm coming off a particularly nasty edit war situation, so my threshold is very high on what is confrontational. Ruby 04:03, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wholly understood, and thanks. I'm coming off an 18-hour work day, which probably suggests I should be trying to sleep rather than Wikipedia ... but there you go. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 04:19, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD- Theron Pummer

I'm looking for more experienced Wikipedians to help me out with the question of whether this article is worthy or not, since I've not been around very long. As I say on the AfD page, this guy's work seems rather solid (the area he writes in is of particular interest to me), but I can see how an undergraduate's work/thoughts, no matter how worthy, might still not be notable. My question- Would you say, generally, that high-quality work in an esoteric academic area is worthy of inclusion on WP? Thanks for your help. KrazyCaley 03:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The guidelines say that some professors may be notable if they make important contributions to their field. Certainly students are not notable, and if they win accolades it should redound to the credit of their professor. Ruby 03:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your integrity

Ruby, I just wanted you to know that your comments on my talk page are very distasteful. You've never met me and the first words from your mouth are personal attacks. Furthermore, you say you are a Christian and you publicly rebuke me because of nothing more than a hunch and an assumption. What happened to assuming good faith? What happened to following the biblical requirement of approaching a brother in Christ in private? It seems that you don't know the first thing about Christianity. Furthermore, changing your vote from Delete to Keep based on your hunch doesn't indicate a high level of integrity or a true desire to make Wikipedia a better place. --Jason Gastrich 04:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Okay now you're talking Jason. More like this one, please." *smile* Did we just get off on the wrong foot? --Jason Gastrich 05:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If you recall, I really didn't like the nomination of Chuck Missler for AfD yesterday, I'm Catholic and even I know who he is. Ruby 05:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ruby, don't worry about contacting Jason privately, he will ignore any attempt you make to contact him and than tell people that you are "attacking" him and persecuting him for his beliefs. If you disagree with his particular brand of Fundy Christianity he will label you an atheist. He's even gone as far as calling my church and left messages for my dad/pastor on the church answering machine. There is no good faith to assume with Jason Gastrich. He is intelligent enough to know what he is doing and he is also intelligent enough to know that it is wrong. Icj tlc 19:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well the first time I even knew there was a Jason Gastrich was when he did those 14 AfDs in a row, and my attitude has been to use a carrot rather than a stick, but you are right, he does know better, so I did sign the part of the RfC that says this is his last chance. Ruby 19:45, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Award

Ruby is awarded the Working Man's Barnstar for all her particularly hard work on AfD. Latinus 18:53, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I want to express my gratitude for giving me my first barnstar! I want to move it to my user page. Ruby 18:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Afd for bands

It's not your imagination about all the Afd's for bands. I've gotten sick of all the nonsense and I'm hunting down all the junky band articles I can find. Someone had to do it!  :) —Wknight94 (talk) 02:07, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well there's been a change of rules and you can speedily delete bands just by putting a {{nn-band}} tag in there, and it will save us a lot a work. Ruby 02:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, I know. And every time I try it, someone objects and I end up in Afd anyway. (Even more annoying is the one that objects to the speedy doesn't even vote on the Afd). —Wknight94 (talk) 02:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I'll try to speedy a few but even admin's reject me saying that the article asserts notability. I'll see if I have better luck tonight... —Wknight94 (talk) 02:24, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is a good example of the resistance I meet trying to use nn-band. There's always someone that will lay down in traffic to save one of these dumb band articles. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe there should be a WikiGroove project where all the bands can go, and they can be as small as they want to be. Ruby 03:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, sorry to bother you again but where is that new rule listed where bands can be speedily deleted for not meeting WP:BAND? I know I've seen it but now I can't find it. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Criteria_for_speedy_deletion Articles section, item 7. Ruby 19:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

593

Wow, excellent work saving the 593 (number) article. That info you added was great. Please continue the fight against systemic anti-numeral bias in Wikipedia! --Cyde Weys 06:34, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Cyde. It was fun to try, but if it gets deleted anyway it won't really bother me. Ruby 06:35, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ruby, and thanks for signing up to the portal! As a member, you have no obligations, but are free to suggest any articles or pictures to showcase, as well as suggest improvements to the portal itself. Hopefully I'll see you round the wiki! Brisvegas 04:03, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

pic

Was your user-page pic (over the water) taken at Discovery Park? Background looks real familiar. ex-Seattleite. Miss it. Derex 19:24, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That's actually on the bluff at Saltwater State Park which is very near my home. Ruby 20:07, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted discussion from "gay animals"

Hi. I'm not sure why it started in the first place, but judging from what you write, our position in general is quite similar. Maybe my English isn't that great. Regardless, I'm on your side on that matter. --Chodorkovskiy 08:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Xena Night

One way to start on a Xena Night article would be to expand the Meow Mix (bar) article, which talks about Xena nights, possibly mentioning which actors have attended them. Andjam 09:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Copy From Safe Sex

"Ruby" please for once look around you. I explained to GTBaccus what the Church is doing to stop this. I didn't expect to have to explain it to a "Catholic" even one like yourself.

Why do I have to accept comments about my status as a Catholic in scare quotes on my talk page? Ruby 05:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't say anything about your status as a Catholic, except that you seem to be at odds with the Church and less likely to accept the truth even if it is right infront of your face. Your dodging the issue is a clear example of that. Chooserr 05:33, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your "atheist parrot" line made me smile. "Rrawk! God is dead! Nietzsche want a cracker! Rrawk!" -Colin Kimbrell 22:54, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gastrich

A note in appreciation of your wit, from atheist parrots to Wiki-Legion - thanks for adding a little humor to this situation. KillerChihuahua?!? 14:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, KC, and I apologize for my negative behavior in the earlier learning experiences. Ruby 14:24, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Time passes, the puppy doesn't know how to hold a grudge. Happy to declare pax if you are. KillerChihuahua?!? 14:39, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Silly-not-to

I noticed that a few minutes ago you listed Silly-not-to in AfD. The guy who created it removed the tag, but it turns out Silly-not-to has already been deleted about a week ago. I re-tagged it as speedy. StarryEyes 15:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I saw it on the New Articles page and thought the article was re-created. Ruby 15:09, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It was recreated, that's what I'm saying. It was recreated, you put on the AfD tag, the guy removed the AfD tag, and I put on the speedy tag. Then it was deleted again. Unfortunately, the guy's put it back up. I've re-tagged it as speedy, so hopefully it'll get deleted and protected this time. StarryEyes 15:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Has been speedied and protected so hopefully no recreations this time. KillerChihuahua?!? 16:05, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

XD

Nice to see someone using XD. By the way, I personally like XD7 better than XD6. It pretty much accomplishes the same thing, tho, but it leaves open-ended the final fate of the article. Friday (talk) 22:43, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

follow-up

Hey. Thanks for the link; what am I looking for in this user's edit history? Other than systemic bias, of course :) And by that I mean -- is there a specific article or period I should check out? Cheers. Adrian Lamo · 01:39, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I'm not calling for anyone to follow this person around, I was just using his edit history as an example for a naughty sort of behavior that I am obliquely calling "systemic anti-LGBT bias" to avoid upsetting anyone's applecarts. Ruby 01:41, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the clarification :) Adrian Lamo · 01:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Ruby objects to this nomination"

If you object remove the prod tag, don't add to the prod message. Also your fix at AjaS isn't acceptable to me. First off that disambig should be at AJAS and we don't have articles for any of those things. Why even have a disambig? BrokenSegue 17:36, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do not have the authority to do anything in the prod project. But I can edit articles, and I can create stubs for things with the initials AJAS. Sounds like a project for this afternoon since I don't like football. Ruby 18:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why don't you have authority to remove tags? Everyone (as far as I know) can remove them. BrokenSegue 23:26, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I just noticed your response to the last quesstion (below). Ambi improperly deleted the articles, you would be keeping them. No one can or would stop you from doing that (I might, however, AfD them). In my opinion you are being a little silly. If anyone yells at you for removing the prod tags, refer them to me and I'll sort it out for you. BrokenSegue 23:30, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't want to have anything to do with the prod process at all now. Ruby 00:21, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Conscious Media

Ruby, if you don't want the article, just delete the tag. Thanks for expanding it, by the way. --Perfecto 21:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I want the article, I expanded the article to save it. I do not have the authority to remove tags. Ruby 21:38, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yes you do. Tell me who says you don't. By the power vested in me by the Invisible Pink Unicorn, I grant you unlimited, unfathomed and todo-mundo authority. Please... go ahead. --Perfecto 21:46, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nope, I just saw User:Ambi get her butt reamed for adding Speedy tags to some of the sacred prod articles, and she's an admin. Like hell I'm gonna get into the middle of this. Ruby 22:01, 5 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

.999... = 1; not true?

Hi Ruby, I just saw your comment on AfD about .999=1. I remember my math teacher in 7th grade taught us that proof. I didn't believe it at first, but then I decided he was probably right and came to accept it. So it's not true after all? Or true under some axioms but not others? Thanks. --Allen 00:43, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You can write: lim -> (inf.) 0.9999.... = 1 but never 0.9999... = 1 because a limit is never the same as an equal sign.
Are you sure (sorry for butting in, I was looking for your response above)? Is Proof that 0.999... equals 1 wrong? The limit is implied in the "..."s. no? BrokenSegue 01:48, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

PROD again

I realize you've got your mind set in regards to this, but I'll try anyway... You (and anyone else) can certainly remove prod tags from any article, under any circumstances. People objected to Ambi deleting some articles(for various complicated reasons), not removing the prod tags. I'm sorry that you are feeling upset with the process, and if there's anything I can do to help, let me know. JesseW, the juggling janitor 06:37, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Ambi uncovered a basic flaw to the whole process, PROD articles are either speedy candidates or AfD candidates, with no middle ground. If they are speedy candidates, the PROD process has the negative effect of making them linger for days after they should go. If they are AfD candidates, the process has the negative effect of bypassing consensus when some articles are not forwarded to the AfD page. If they are deemed to be "non-controversial" they are effectively being speedied without complying to the WP:CSD. When that became clear I lost interest in the whole thing. Ruby 12:36, 6 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's really not how I see it. Speedy has very specific criteria, mainly because there is very little peer-review of speedy deletion: one person tags the article, another (an admin) clicks the button. Or sometimes an admin can just hit "delete" straight from RC. So it's right that speedy deletion should only happen when it is completely unambiguous. PROD allows time for others to review the article, and lots of people are actively doing that. Some get moved to speedy, some get AfDd, some get cleaned up, and most seem to get left just as they are. AfD is suffering badly from overload, which means that articles are not always given the scrutiny they should be. I see PROD as a way of increasing the level of detailed scrutiny applied to AfD without either slowing down the removal of cruft or expanding the scope of CSD (which has been resisted very strongly). What is missing, though, is a process for flagging which articles have been tagged and untagged and then not taken to AfD. But actually that will probably happen through the watchlists of the original nominators. The other thing arguably missing is a log of who has reviewed and agreed with PROD - but that would be no different from AfD! Just my $0.02 - Just zis  Guy, you know?

Thank you JzG, me and my gal pal have decided to quit whining and just try the PRODuct and after a few days we find it has a certain utility. Ruby 02:23, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: AFD Kurshiel's Scion

The tag was removed apparently by an anon IP; their discussion page notes that Isotope23 told them not to do that, but it didn't get put back. I agree that it looks like you aren't responsible for it not being there, but if you're going to AFD something I would think you should take responsibility for keeping up the AFD page in the face of minor vandalism and/or minor edit faux pas. You can't expect a vandal or clueless editor who didn't realize what they did to understand and fix it, and the AFD is out of spec now.

It would also help if the description was slightly more explanatory than "This is said to be using a crystal ball"...

Robert Stanek

You recently left a comment on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruin Mist about articles related to the author Robert Stanek. You may like to know that the page on the man himself is now up for deletion; Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Stanek. I avoided merging the two together as I felt that the arguments for deleting the pages on the fiction didn't quite apply to the page on the writer, but thought it best to let you know in case you wanted to participate in this related discussion.

Your AfD vote in re. List of UK railfan jargon

Hey. At the time of your vote, the original nominator had incorrectly transcluded the archived debate for the first nomination of this article, so your vote went to the first, archived debate. I've fixed that and pasted your vote over, but can I get you to re-endorse your vote, as you're no longer attached to it in the edit history?

The appropriate page is Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/List_of_UK_railfan_jargon (2nd nomination). Thanks! :)

Citizenship in the World Merit Badge

Hi! You have argued for deletion of the Citizenship in the World Merit Badge article on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Citizenship in the World Merit Badge. I've cleaned the article somewhat to give it context and grammar, so that it is no longer nonsense. Might you consider redirection instead of deletion? -- Jonel | Speak 04:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NiMUD article

Thanks Ruby! Your help is greatly appreciated. Those folks are picking on me something fierce! I just want to leave it alone. There is some movement in the DikuMUD community to erase my game entirely from the history of DikuMUDs. Luckily not everyone is following those digital-fascists.

JEHOCHMAN

I don't appreciate the ad hominem attack you made against me on the DAP Technologies VfD page. Stick to the facts, and make your argument based on the content of the article. Jehochman 17:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't characterize it as an ad hominem attack, I would call it full disclosure. For third parties, the text of my vote follows:
Delete Internet marketing created by a user who says on his user page, "More about me at JE Hochman & Associates - Internet Marketing." --Ruby 03:11, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

I see another ad hominem attack on the Argox vfd page. I don't make a living writing Wikipedia articles. You have asserted something false, with no basis. Stick to the facts and you'll be more credible. Jehochman 18:05, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For the Argox article my comment follows:

The gentleman who created this article makes his living marketing companies on the internet, including, apparently, Wikipedia. --Ruby 04:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

The nature of my objection is that you voting against articles based on WHO I AM, rather than the quality and substance of the article. Please judge the articles, not the author. Thank you! Jehochman 18:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I too am apparently a stalker

I recently have been accused of stalking User:Jehochman and vandalising his articles. Despite my asking, I have yet to hear any specific details from him as to what I have vandalized and how I have been stalking him. Can you shed any light on this issue? Monkeyman 19:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I dunno. Maybe when you put the AfD banner on them that was "vandalism" and maybe when you nominated a second ad in a row that was "stalking". --Ruby 20:44, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

SpinnWebe article deletion

Not that it matters at this point, but in that vote you said it claims to be the personal page of someone who's a red link. Wish it was still around so I could figure out what you meant, because it's my site, and I do have a user page. --Spinn 19:13, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ruby, Since your vote for delete on this AfD, I have since cleaned up to adhere to NPOV and provided evidence of Notability. Could you please change your vote to keep?

Thanks,

It seems that people associated with the site came back and recreated the article that had already been deleted by AFD (Spinnwebe Afd). The webmaster of the site seems to have recruited tons of people associated with that website to go to the Speedy deletions page to contest the deletion. It really is ridiculous, one person seems to have registered just to vote [1] and there are a few blank red links voting. I know that you are very familar with the deletion process and think maybe you can help out with this problem.--Jersey Devil 20:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey Ruby--I think that Jersey Devil's statement here of what went on with the SpinnWebe deletion is untrue--check the contribs--and I can't accept with the premise of your AfD. But I want you to know that this is just a disagreement about some facts about some web page, and I still think you're the coolest. :) rodii 03:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Check out this page on the Spinnwebe Forum "Reinstatement campaign anyone?". [2] I knew this was what was going on, now we have the proof.check out this page on the Spinnwebe Forum "Reinstatement campaign anyone?". [3] I knew this was what was going on, now we have the proof. As a matter of fact, in that thread Spinn says "Well, here's the Google cache version of the page, anyway. It's a shame, I could recreate all this fairly easily, but I think it's bad form if I do it myself.". So it is infact confirmed that they just c&ped back the same old page that was deleted (many sites make copies of old wikipedia pages). It wasn't 'improved' and thus the speedy deletion template was warranted--Jersey Devil 09:14, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But did they not improve it? Ah well, I don't want to have this debate on Ruby's page. My point is that they're worthy WP contributors, not noobs recruited to stack the voting. rodii 12:21, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


It seems that the user User:Notmydesk as well has his web comic with a page on wikipedia titled Concerned (I have already put up Spinn's webcomic Scribs for afd). The webcomic itself is less than a year old and has no external links proving its notablity outside the links to hlcomic.com (which is basically the website to the comic itself). Do you think this should be put up on afd? I dunno, I get the feeling that the same crew of people would just come back and all vote keep. It has happened on several of the other pages with loose associations to Spinnwebe (check out the afd's for Zompist.com, Mark Rosenfelder (who is the User:Zompist), Verdurian language, and so on)--Jersey Devil 18:55, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An AfD for that one would result in a keep, if not a speedy keep. --Ruby 19:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, that is unfortunately what would likely happen. Check this out this page from their forum [4]. Apparently anything can have a page on wikipedia so long as you have a handful of fans from a webforum to back it.--Jersey Devil 19:34, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If that were true I'd contest the Scribs deletion. Why have you decided Concerned should be deleted? Do you only apply an Alexa test when you like its results? Your statement here is just charged with zealotry. 15 minutes' worth of research will verify the notability of Concerned (which maybe Ruby did when you asked). --Spinn 20:43, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In the general case, I agree that Survivor candidates are not notable enough for their own articles, but I think you might want to re-visit a few of these bios. Some of the contestants appear to be genuinely notable within other fields; for example, Leitner won an Emmy award for investigative journalism, and Ellis is the host of a weekly TV show on The History Channel. If you still think they should be deleted after another look, that's OK. I just want to make sure you have all the facts before you make the call. -Colin Kimbrell 01:05, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've put this article up for deletion review, after re-writing a stub focused much more on his non-Survivor notability as a TV host, which was then speedy deleted as a recreation of deleted content. Since you commented on the initial AFD, I thought you might want to participate in the discussion here as well. -Colin Kimbrell 17:28, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've noticed that you have submitted a nice article about the Tiger Mountain. What do you think about a Hikipedia site? Would you consider contributing to it?

I know that one can add trail descriptions to a regular Wikipedia, but there are quite a few things that would be too difficult too acomplish: trail-oriented search, embedded weather forecast, voting for trail difficulty and enjoyability, trail reports, links and images of guidebooks. Please let me know what you think about Hikipedia (you can use the feedback page, or reply here). Thanks, Lukasz.
