CSD A7 exclusivity: don't understand comment

You said in [1]'s edit comment: The criterion, as worded, is exclusive. Moreover, some articles, like ones about pets, should be speedied, so it's better to leave some wiggle-room).

As a non-native English speaker, I can't make head or tail of that - do you want the list to be exclusive ("it is"), or do you want it to be nonexclusive ("wiggle room")? I've now seen so many people fall into discussions about whether or not it is exclusive that I find the claim that the current text is clear very hard to understand. --Alvestrand 19:35, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I apologise for the unclear edit summary. What I meant to say was this: As currently worded ("An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content that does not state ...") the list technically is exclusive. Though I don't support an expansion of A7 to all articles (as some people on the talk page are pushing for), I also think that A7 can (in limited cases) justifiably be applied to articlesnot about a person, group, band, club, company, or web content. For instance: an article about an individual animal that doesn't assert significance. Of course, some redundancy for the sake of clarity may be necessary, so perhaps my edit was ill-advised.

Re: Template:User egy-1

The goal of Egy-1 was to have something that would work in Wikipedia:Babel, which was not sucessful. The text, which reads "this user is able to write in basic Egyptian Hieroglyphics" is closer in nature to the text in the box in Category:User Egyp-1. If you want to merge, that's probably the better choice. Thanatosimii 00:36, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the clarification. I will specify the appropriate target at the deletion discussion. Cheers, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Black Falcon (talk • contribs) 00:51 (UTC), 5 September 2007 (UTC)

	Thank you for your participation in my recent RfA. Even though you didn't support my candidacy, I did greatly appreciate your comments, which I will certainly put to good use in improving myself as an editor. I do plan to make another request in a few months, once I have improved upon your concerns. Thank you again, and happy editing! *Hersfold* ^(t/a/c) 01:37, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Russgrue sandbox

Gday, I understand the deletion for the categories I had created I could not find any standards on the creation of categories for use in a seandbox environment. However the other articles and templates should fall under my sandbox and are used to experiment with style. Russgrue 07:12, 5 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do hope I haven't embarrassed you in any way by my mistakes, and resulting failure as an RfA, but am still greatly thankful for your trust in me.
