Maine Meetup?

Greetings! My name is Garrett Fitzgerald, and I've lived in Brewer for the past year. I just thought I'd check in with the rest of the Maine Wikipedians to see if there was enough interest to start organizing a Wikipedia:Meetup somewhere in the state. If you're interested, drop me a note by email or userpage: if there's enough interest, I'll see about organizing a bit more formally. See you around!--SarekOfVulcan 07:02, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non Admin Closures

Hey Auto, I was wondering what the policy is on non-admin AfD closures where the consensus is (non-controversially) delete. I thought that non-admin closures could only be preformed on AfDs that didn't require admin action, like a keep, merge or redirect. Let me know because if it's accepted behavior i could help close some of the AfD backlog.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 19:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I actually did my first closure today so I was thinking about helping to clear the backlog, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a big bad line that gets crossed if you close one with a consensus for delete. However, after seeing the template you used to speedy tag the closures I think it will be okay as long as I haven't participated in the actual discussions I close.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 19:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had read that. Glad I didn't pick up the cause, but I'm still looking for keeps, merges and redirects.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A.WOLF AfD

You seem to have left the "result" part of your closing of this AfD incomplete. I didn't want to step on any toes and fill it in myself, especially since I was the nominator. Thought you might want to know. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 19:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That sure would be nice to put up there, wouldn't it? (oops, and thanks). --Auto ^{(talk / contribs)} 20:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closures

Please do not close AFDs as delete as a non-admin. Please see WP:DPR#NAC. A non-admin should only be closing clear keep consensuses. The guideline specifically says that non-admins may not close discussions as delete. Please do not continue to close AFDs as delete. Thanks, Metros (talk) 20:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have reversed your closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sir Alastair Dunnett‎. Your closure does not meet the speedy keep standards and it also falls outside the purview of Wikipedia:Non-admin closure. Metros (talk) 00:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA

Hey, just FYI, I left you a few questions at your RfA, take you time answering them. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 23:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: James Light

Page has been re-created, [[1]] 24 hours after an AFD which decided it should be re-directed. What should I do? many thanks Porterjoh (talk) 14:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No idea how to do what you suggested - sorry! :( Porterjoh (talk) 19:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please participate

There is a heavy discussion right now, in this article, Miss Pakistan World here and it was nominated for deletion here; your opinion will be highly appreciated, especially your vote. Your participation in this matter is noteworthy, in view of the fact that you have participated in this discussion [2]. It doesn’t matter if your vote is favorable or not, but what matters most is your involvement since it seems to me that some commenter are against pageantry. Personally, I think that the article should be kept but should be freed from tremendous advertisement lines.--Richie Campbell (talk) 00:20, 16 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sophia Myles article

Hi. In the course of editing the Sophia Myles article (disambiguating Paul Wilson), you accidentally deleted almost the entire article. I think I've managed to put it back the way it should be — including your disambiguation — but you might want to go back and check the article now, just to be sure. If you aren't already in the habit of using the "Show changes" and "Show preview" buttons to review an edit before saving it, you might want to do this. Richwales (talk) 02:43, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oops... I think I previewed, then logged in. :-/ --Auto ^{(talk / contribs)} 15:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I kind-of figured it was some sort of inadvertent thing. BTW, for some reason which I can't immediately see, the "talk" part of your signature isn't linking to anything when I view it. The word "talk" is showing up as bold italics. You might want to look into that. One possibility I can think of is that maybe the Wiki/HTML markup should go outside the square brackets, instead of inside; maybe there's a bug in the way the markup is interacting with the linking. Richwales (talk) 16:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Yes, you're right regarding the links in your signature. Thanks for clearing that up for me. Richwales (talk) 17:28, 20 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
