Great job on the social networks clean-up. Its a thankless task, and I am glad you keep getting to it before I do... --Goodoldpolonius2 05:13, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

Adam Link edit

Thanks! That was my first contribution to Wikipedia.

It's startling how fast that was tagged and categorized as "fictional robot"... My faith in this system jumped higher quite suddently.

vbh

hi

i agree to delete my pointless VBH disambig page. I was thinking any TLA would have multiple meanings, but VBH seems to be an exception!

Suggest replacing with a straight redirect to Virginal breast hypertrophy

Re: Cooking pot

I deleted the cooking pot article because the current contents were just a rephrasing of the title. If you take out the "typically used" (which really doesn't provide any extra information) you have "A cooking pot is a pot used for cooking." By all means, we should have an article about cooking pots, but that wasn't much of a start, and I maintain that it was a valid speedy. - RedWordSmith 04:31, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

• Fair enough. I've recreated the article, hopefully with enough of a start that someone might see fit to expand it properly. --Alan Au 04:35, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

Bulk material handling

What is your problem with stockpile or Stackers?. Both are widely used concepts that need more than a dictionary definition to describe them! Are you pissed because you can't create enough unique entries yourself? --PeterMarkSmith 05:27, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

Request for assistance

Hello I have created an article regarding a large park in my city and although I'm sure it has little interest to you I was hoping you could assist by reading through it and giving me some feed back on every aspect. Feel free to edit grammer and such. I've just placed it in my talk page for now.

Cookie Day

Hey man.

Cookie Day is something we want to make big so thats why I came to wikipedia, a lot of our friends and even family participate so please do not delete it.

Deletion question

Hi. I wrote the article about the college newspaper that you thought should be deleted. It's totally fine. I understand that's the whole point of the Wikipedia. But since I'm new to this, I was wondering if you might do me two favors: (1) share with me what your criteria for deciding whether something doesn't belong; and (2) tell me a little about how the whole delete-or-not-delete process works. Thanks. --Kidicarus222 04:09, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

Ok Adam Thanks

I see my article has been deleted. Based on what you say I have no idea how to better it, it was 100x times better than some others around here. It seems there are double or even triple standards for deletion. Check wiki for Corbis. It is a disgrace and never got erased or corrected. Not at all informative, more like 1min worth of time. Eitherway best of luck but be sure to check more articles as there are many useless stuff that avoids your radar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamesbenet (talk • contribs) 03:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

WP:CP

Hi, you've reported copyright infringements to WP:CP in the last week, a new measure was recently passed to allow the speedy deltion of new pages that are cut and paste copyvios. Please follow these instructions if you come across this type of copyvio. Thanks. --nixie 00:05, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Blatant copyright infringements may now be "speedied" If an article and all its revisions are unquestionably copied from the website of a commercial content provider and there is no assertion of permission, ownership or fair use and none seems likely, and the article is less than 48 hours old, it may be speedily deleted. See CSD A8 for full conditions. After notifying the uploading editor by using wording similar to: {{nothanks-sd|pg=page name|url=url of source}} -- ~~~~ Blank the page and replace the text with {{db-copyvio|url=url of source}} to the article in question, leaving the content visible. An administrator will examine the article and decide whether to speedily delete it or not.

Thanks for your support

Thank you for voting on my RfA. I realize that I have not been here long, however other users said I would do just fine as an administrator, so I followed their advice.

Channa micropeltes

--Canelli 13:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC) Hello, I do have a question as well as a objection. I am new in the Wikipedia world. Therefore I may be totally wrong. My question is why you redirected the snakeheads article from the Channa micropeltes? And this also my objection. It is simply wrong! It would be much better placed as a redirect from Channa. I am to stupid to do it myself. Maybe you could change it according to my suggestion?

Thankyou --Canelli 13:35, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

Information science

Yeah, I'm sorry, I wanted to leave a message on your talk page first, but I also felt it should be moved quickly as the describtion of Category:Information science was changed to that of library and information science. I think the problem is that information science is rather unknown outside Western-Europe and even the Netherlands and people start confusion it with a lot of other things such as LIS and information theory. —R. Koot 13:50, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Are you absolutely sure information science is used to refer to LIS? I'm going to make the page into a disambiguation page for now. —R. Koot 14:02, 25 November 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia Userboxes/Computing

Heylo, Alan Au! I've added the ISPs to the computing area, becuase i thought canadian ISPs would fit as well as the american ones. I mean...canada was the second or third country online, and we do have a massive internet user base (somewhere along 4 million out of our 32.1 million!). If you wish, you *can* remove them, but i think they fit in... the ones i've added were Cogeco, Rogers, Bell Sympatico, MNSi, Jet2.net, Shaw, and IGS (Information Gateway Services).

Virtual Ethnograpy

Hi Alan, Thanks for alerting me to this - I was not sure where the original text came from. I was extremely surprised to come back to the article this morning to find it marked as a copyright violation! I have posted a revised version of this entry on the "Virtual Ethnography/Temp" page and I hope the problem has been fixed by appropriately referencing the source.

If you still feel the first paragraph represents a copyright violation, let me know and I will try to re-write it, but there are only so many ways you can say "virtual ethnography is new development in the field of anthropology"!

Molecular Station Bioinformatics Portal

Is there a reason Molecular Station Bioinformatics is being removed form Directories & portals in Bioinformatics? Bioinformatics

It is a portal and a directory as the other and is a larger resource.

The site is the biggest bioinformatics portal right now with over 800 links.

If you have a good reason to classify it as spam (which would be difficult considering the nature of the other links there now) post it here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.20.136.242 (talk • contribs)

• I recommend that you take a look at the WP:NOT and WP:SPAM pages, which may help you better understand why external links are often unwelcome. Anyhow, since you asked for reasons, here are some of mine:
  1. You are an anonymous user, and you do not sign your comments. While this is understandable for a new editor, it severely weakens your credibility.
  2. You have very few edits, the majority of which seem to be additions of external links to commercial sites. This can be fixed by establishing a stronger edit history.
  3. The links were added to Wikipedia without any explanation in either the edit summary or the talk page. Unfortunately, this may not be sufficient if the link is truly inappropriate.
  4. The target site doesn't appear to contain any substantial content, and is really only a collection of links. This makes it a poor resource.
  5. The target site contains several non-functional links (in particular, the "about us" section). This also makes it a poor resource.
  6. The target site runs advertisements, and includes invitations for further sponsorship. This raises questions about commercial intent.
  7. The target site does not appear to have any policy governing user-added information, which means that its quality and accuracy is suspect.
  8. The discussion at User_talk:Kirill_Lokshin/Archive_4#Link_spam indicates that other members of the community consider the links to be inappropriate.

I'm sorry if you disagree with this assessment, and I hope that you will continue to look for ways to contribute in a less controversial manner. In particular, I recommend you establish a stronger edit history by registering for a named account and contributing content (not just links) to articles. Perhaps then, your addition of external links might be viewed more favorably. However, right now I have no way of knowing whether you are trying to contribute in good faith, or if you're simply trying to exploit Wikipedia for personal benefit. --Alan Au 08:13, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

• Also, if it makes you feel any better, I've removed the entire "Directories & Portals" section from the Bioinformatics article. --Alan Au 08:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure who posted the previous links which you considered spam, however the site is quite new and quite good, and has been updated. Bioinformatics now contains many features such as bioinformatics news, Articles, and as mentioned a very detailed source of bioinformatic tools and databases. I am not here to spam, simply to add information such as RNA bioinformatics which is quite important, and point users to a new and upcoming resource. Also the page that I referred to is not a directory of links. Sorry for any misunderstandings as I am a new user and new to the ways of the wiki. However, I believe my molecular and bioinformatics knowledge to be extremely good. Kindly, --Bioinformin

You mention on my talk page that RNA Bioinformatics has "zero hits" on Pubmed. Are you sure you know how to do PubMed searches? Are you sure you know how many articles came up? I received 1424. If you are not an expert on Bioinformatics why do you edit a Bioinformatics page? "RNA Bioinformatics" obviously has zero hits on pubmed as it is a general category, not something people write about on pubmed. Similarly, "Protein Bioinformatics" on pubmed only gets 6 hits from the database, although it has been used in hundreds of thousands of articles. Learn to use pubmed appropriately, and you should welcome new members which may not know everything about wikipedia, but may know much more than you about Bioinformatics and Science. For all you know a new member could be a professor of Bioinformatics, and for all I know you could be a high school student. Also, if you people have any reasons to not want good resources on wikipedia simply because you are webmasters of a competing site, I will make sure to report you to wikipedia authorities as what I am posting is not linkspam and I was contributing information to the article and not only posting external links. -- Bioinformin

For example, acceptance of "RNA Bioinformatics": *RNA World Website. Another example RNA Bioinformatics Presentation RNA Bioinformatics is used for the study of: - Viruses - Translation - Splicing - RNAi - RNA enzymatic activity - RNA binding factors - Devolpment --Bioinformin

Sneaky "spam"

There was nothing sneaky about it. I was simply taking advantage of a marketing opportunity I thought I'd discovered. I didn't add anything to Wikipedia that wasn't of value or relevance. There are plenty of existing external links that serve the purposes of the individuals to whom the links belong. Aside from linking to an excellent source of the very subject matter, I made a couple intelligent edits to an obviously biased article. Nothing wrong with attempting to create some balance. Try not to be so power-hungry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.167.66.134 (talk • contribs)

Hapa article

Edit away at the links. I'm not going to complain. It's something that needed to be done. But maybe save the Realhapa site? Those folks are vigilant and do seem to represent a widespread POV here in the islands. The Chronicle book is marketing, remove. Zora 07:25, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Aack! Getting rid of all of them is going a little too far. If you're going to prune links, you need to click on each one, read enough to judge whether it's useful or not, and then reduce it to, say, five links. If it takes too much time to do that, then don't do anything! I'll get to it later. Zora 07:38, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Hey Alan, I pruned away a bunch of broken links, and gave a once over on the working ones - I'm torn on the hapas.com and realhapas.com: although Zora speaks of a widespread POV that hapa only refers to kanaka maoli mixtures, for all my life in Hawaii I never encountered it - realhapas.com was created by someone who had a bad experience/flame war on hapas.com, I'm pretty sure it's tin-foil hat. Anyway, let me know what you think of the edits, thanks for bringing up the linkspam problem for everyone to address. --JereKrischel 20:59, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

well, i did the same thing for the reimagined Battlestar Galactica page, it took me a few hours, but i was bored. people dont seem to mind. in fact, theyve started adding more details now that they dont have a limited space for only one episode on a master page. and, if people dont like it, they can revert it, i dont care, i just have free time and think that it would make navigating a little easier... -Xornok 06:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Hapa

That is hypocrtical because each of those links are links to other people's personal websites and groups. The page suggested for hapa's give hapa's a resource to not only convene but also learn genuine perspectives. If I am not allowed to post a website that is more than resourceful yet, someone from Mixed Folks whose link does not even directly attend to the word Hapa then clearly there is an issue here and quite ironically a sense of biasm. You can not give me a good reason why X-Plicitely Mixed's Hapa website can not be there but a overly broad website is allowed too. As a matter of fact XP has a forum dedicated exclusively to Hapa's whereas most of those websites (excluding Eurasian nation and Hapas) don't even do that. If you continue and support this type of biasm by the constant editing of the link to X-Plicitely Mixed's Hapa site, I will bring up a dispute and personally contact Wikipedia myself (Call them, etc, the whole 9 yards). X-Plicitely Mixed's Hapa site is not commercial, do you see any products sold? Clearly not, nor is it anyone's personal website, rather a professional one meant to attend a Multiracial and in that case, Hapa/Eurasian audience. I would like to to diffuse in the most peaceful manor, please clarrify your reason's, otherwise I will handle this another way I trust; rather un-preferably, I'm sure we can work out something. Again I see hypocrisy.

Another thing, based on the history under the word Eurasian, you are seen reverting to a previous version. I find it ironic that you allow the eurasian webpage of X-Plicitley Mixed to be broadcasted under the word Eurasian yet you don't with the word Hapa. As a matter of fact you desire to place the link in a position that seems of your personal preference. Either way I have the history saved and will make my case to the appropiate individuals if we can not resovle a legitable and justifiable stance.

Interesting enough I also checked on the word blasian. You delted the message board that goes to a blasian (meant for those half black and half asian) on X-Plicitley Mixed. I would also like an explanation about this? Everything seems to be perfect timing Alan. Odd, I look forward to hearing from you, if not, from your superiors, to the top of Wikipedia. Guranteed dear sir. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Liberalpunt (talk • contribs) .

=============================

Hey ALan. Thank you for your response. I am going to follow up on all of this very closely later on. At the time being may I humbly ask that you restore the forum board on the blasian forum. The link posted before was up for almost a month plus until you removed it. There are not many blasian places and people that are blasian and looking for a perfect discussion group would find that link absolutely suitable for them my kind friend.

All the best Alan, and pssst.. Goodluck on those studies!
