Deletion Of AtomicGamer

Hi I was wondering if you could please undelete the AtomicGamer page. AtomicGamer is already referenced quite a bit on wikipedia as you can see here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Search/AtomicGamer

I was surprised to see the site deleted after following the model of an already existing entry. I would be more than happy to enter more information including the sites that AtomicGamer hosts some of which are quite well traveled. If you have any more advice on things I could do to improve the entry please let me know. Perhaps you could move it back to my Talk page until you think it is ready to go? Thank you for your time. -mike Calimer (talk) 17:24, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I need to run right now, but if you post a request at WP:REFUND for the page to be userfied, I have no objection.--Fabrictramp | talk to me 17:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Notable Ice Hockey player?

Hi! I've noticed your name many times around dead end pages, where I am currently lurking too, so can I get a second opinion? Do you think James Glenwright Unger meets notability criteria? Not a hoax hockeydb.com but seems very marginal to me?? Article is written (apparently) by his self-proclaimed best friend, which somehow doesn't suggest real notability either.

Please respond here if you prefer.

I know squat about hockey, so I have no clue if the teams listed are "fully professional", which would meet WP:ATHLETE, but WP:HOCKEY could help you determine that. HTH! --Fabrictramp | talk to me 15:41, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Bother - that makes two of us who know squat about Ice Hockey: I attended one San Jose Sharks game during 9 years in the USA! The problem is USHL (where he played 100 games) is amateur, whereas in the professional ECHL (equivalent to AA in Baseball, according to WP) the guy had a grand total of 7 games. I guess by the strict letter of the policy that means he is notable. OK decision - I'll edit out some of the non-hockey fluff and move on. Thanks for letting me think aloud.

You've been to one more hockey game than I have. :) --Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:17, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

(talk page stalker) And avid hockey fan, I would say that the closest to "fully professional" the subject comes to is the ECHL, and I would not call that "fully professional" (although Fabrictramp knows my stance on minor league professional notability). While they may draw a salary, in my opinion, it isn't enough for Wikipedia notability. The ECHL is probably similar to being in the minors in baseball (as noted above), but if he is 24-25 and hasn't been drafted by a pro team in North America or Europe, it isn't likely he is going to move up. Also based on the "pro career" section, it doesn't look like he is a very good jr. player either. I would suggest nominating it for deletion. On a more personal note, Fabrictramp, since moving back to Canada, we can't find any decent GF bread (we used to get Ugis (sp), but they don't sell it in Canada)...if you have any good recipes or tips, I would appreciate it...Cheers. --kelapstick (talk) 13:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Glad to hear from you again, Kelapstick. Odd about the GF bread -- I had the impression Canada was a hotbed of celiac activism. As to recipes, I've had great luck with every one I've tried at http://gluten-freerecipes.blogspot.com/ . Can't personally vouch for her breads (she relies on eggs, which I can't have), but the photos are amazing and the reviews are good. Oh, and congrats on that Olympic hockey win, eh?--Fabrictramp | talk to me 14:08, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Well, there are some, but not so much where we are in Nova Scotia. Even Halifax doesn't have a whole lot. One of the major problems is the language laws that require all products sold in Canada to be labled in English and French, many US suppliers will not go to the expense just to reach a market about the size of California...One of my son's staples was peanut butter, but we had to switch him to almond because his cousin is severly alergic to peanuts (so she can't even contact toys he would have played with). We finally found one that he would eat (finiky eater), but we can't get it in Canada (yet). So we brought 20 jars back with us. We can get bread but it all has to be frozen, the one that we did have in the US was great, no freezing required and it tasted like wheat bread. Anyway now we are making our own (somewhat unsuccessfuly) with a mix we can get at the bulk food store...fun...Anyway, good talking with you, and thanks for the site. We may have won gold in the Olympics, but you guys took the World Cup of Hockey, so it is an even year. Cheers. --kelapstick (talk) 01:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Can't help on the GF bread. For the hockey I'll respond on Kelpastick's talk page sometime this coming (Easter) weekend. Cje (talk) 08:45, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for saving L22 Disambiguation I didn't understand why it was marked for deletion either.

Fly it 'till the last piece stops moving - somebody, User:Sumsum2010 20:51, 28 March 2010 (UTC)‎

Human Design entry deleted in error - thank you but no way to contact Keeper 77???

Thank you for considering the deletion review, I need to escalate this to someone able to talk about the issues please, can you advise me

Keeper 77 page says, as I wrote before, taking a wiki break, and I am new to this, but see no possible way to contact him on his page?

Are there other admins I can take this matter to? I will try now to contact the people who were involved in the original discussion, but not sure of how this communicating works, I just want to get the problem resolved correctly and that means a lot of procedure ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mikemahalo (talk • contribs) 09:05, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Follow the instructions I left you originally at Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion/Current_requests#human_design_system, which said if you don't get a response, take it to deletion review.

New Page

Me again! Since you're a new page patroller, could I get your help? I'm working on expanding the Otero Mesa stub - the sandbox page is here (I don't know how to link to within-WP pages that aren't articles) - and I want to make sure I'm adding to it substantially enough. I've been looking at other articles on similar topics to try to get an understanding of what's appropriate. Do you have any advice, direction, etc? Katiedert (talk) 02:00, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I only have about 3 minutes on Wikipedia until next weekend, so my advice will be quick. First, to link to non-main space pages, do it like this. Second, a great place to get feedback is at WP:FEED -- the advice I've seen them give is consistently excellent. Keep up the good work!--Fabrictramp | talk to me 13:19, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, FT. Katiedert (talk) 18:08, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

thanks for your comments, I remain a confused newbie, WP DLR twice already, nobody there...

Well I said it all in the title really.

THANK YOU for contacting me. Much appreciated, wow is this complicated?  !!

I have submitted the page twice for Deletion Review. I can see no sense in a third time.

I have send comments, I believe (does this talk work I am not sure?), to the people involved in the discussion and no reply except yours.

I am stopping this particular approach because of two topic/author related developments, and am informing you, as a courtesy, realising the people I need to talk to have shut up shop and gone home, but I trust the flow, all is well, big smile and move on...

1. I found the original author, and indeed this was a puppet entry on behalf of the man with central commercial interests, so that alters my energy about this, we need to start fresh perhaps.

2. The head of Human Design America contacted me to suggest I work with him on a new wikipage, well, we will see, but the structure is sound, a radical maverick, myself, and the established inner top dog, but step by step.

3. The lack of external references will continue, until someone like me risks prosecution and also inaccuracy, even ridicule, for publishing on Human Design without the blessing of the bloody pope. Shame on him.

4. Images are copyright, strings seemed to be attached to the original usage, but wikipedia cannot be involved if there are strings.

best wishes

I can't see that you've made any posts at WP:DRV (Your contributions are here.) What I do see is two requests at WP:REFUND. Are you perhaps confusing the two?--Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:10, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Thank you for pointing that out, I believed I had correctly raised the topic for deletion review, and I hope that NOW I have done so. Whatever is WP:REFUND? Why does that appear to be Deletion Review? I do not really want to know, it is unclear, and now the correct action is taken, I believe.

Semi-Protected

Hi there! I saw the protection log of Sarah Geronimo article and I see that you made the article protected last June 28, 2010. Since we all know that wikipedia has been target by UNKNOWN users and making UNCONSTRUCTIVE EDTS, can I ask you to make the Sarah Geronimo Semi-protected? Because I saw some article of Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, etc. that are semi-protected. I want the Sarah Geronimo article to become a Semi-protected too because it has been a target by various VANDALISM and users who keeeps putting HOAX info's there. I hope that you will make action soon. Thank you in advance!--White paladin888 (talk) 16:25, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

In general, semiprotection (or full protection) is not applied to articles unless there is recent heavy vandalism from multiple editors and no productive contributions from those same types of editors. Looking at the history, IP editors are only editing the article every two or three days, and as many are making productive edits as unproductive, so it wouldn't qualify for protection. I realize it can be a major pain fixing vandalism a couple of times a week (really -- BTDT), but that's the price we pay for an encyclopedia anyone can edit.

In the future, if there is a need for protection on the article, the fastest way is to make a request at WP:RFPP. (requests for page protection). Requests are generally taken care of in an hour or two at most. HTH --Fabrictramp | talk to me 00:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply! I will continue to watch this article and other articles too because honestly, I'm sick of those IP editors who keeps putting Hoax and other unconstructive edits here in wikipedia. Anyway, Thank you for your time :)--White paladin888 (talk) 02:33, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
