Re: Welcome

Posted on User:ClockworkTroll

Quick question, what is the tag you use to welcome users? Wyllium 20:05, 2004 Nov 13 (UTC)

• I use one that I made myself. I'll copy it here for you, and I also keep it posted on the bottom of my user page for reference:

Links

Hello. Please note that there is no need to write [[taboo|taboos]], since [[taboo]]s has the same effect (the final "s" is included in the blue link). Similarly [[Russia]]n, [[apocrypha]]l, [[logic]]al, [[hyphen]]ated, etc. Michael Hardy 02:23, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Yeah, I forgot about that. Still a rather minor point though. Wyllium 02:24, 2004 Nov 14 (UTC)

List of movies vfd

Hi there. I wanted to say that I strongly urge you to pull your nomination for deletion on List of movies, if you take a look you'll see two things. The list system for movies is much more comprehensive than the category system at this moment in time, (Ie containing settings for movies and such). There are also many red linked movies. This list seems to be important, as it has not yet been replaced by categories, at least for the time being. Deleting this would make it harder to browse wikipedia and to keep track of needed articles. —siroχo 00:21, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)

• I'm confused. The list explicitly states that it is a list of articles, not of movies whether they have an article or not. That's is the reason I nominated it. Lists that contain items without articles I think are valuable, but I don't think that's the case here. Anyway, "pulling" my nomination is not an issue. I might vote keep myself if I change my mind, but it would be undemocratic if I pulled it when there are a lot of delete votes. Wyllium 07:12, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)

textfiles.com

Hi. Why did you list textfiles.com for deletion? I don't care about your petty conflict with ANSI artists and your vendetta against their articles, but textfiles.com is by no means VfD material. You may list it again and find out yourself. It has been in Wired, on Slashdot and in multiple other mainstream media. It has a page rank between 40 and 100 000 and has existed for 6 years.

Note that I am not affiliated with Textfiles.com, Jason Scott or any sort of scene, although they all interest me.

By all means, list the article for deletion again. I'd be very curious as to how you'd phrase it. — David Remahl 07:52, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

• I have no idea what you mean with vendetta against ANSI artists. I listed Textfiles.com for one reason only, and that is that I have doubts about it's notability. If it is important enough there will be enough keep votes and you'll have nothing to worry about. Wyllium 07:56, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I confused you with someone else, I think. — David Remahl 08:00, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment by User:Jscott deleted as it wasn't addressed at me, but the above poster. Wyllium 08:40, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
      • I have to disagree, the comment left by Jscott was, indirectly atleast, very much addressed to you. My worry isn't whether or not the article will survive, as I'm confident that it will. My real concern is over your better judgement (or lack thereof) before going ahead and VfD'ing an article as it's beginning to take shape. Give articles a chance to get off the ground and establish notability before rushing to fire them off to Votes for Deletion. Secondly, it is well established that this subject is noteworthy and had you taken the same amount of time it takes to fully process a VfD nomination and used it to verify the fact that it is noteworthy you would have given fellow Wikipedians a few precious moments of their life back that they could've spent on more important issues. --[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 08:49, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
        • For the third time, if it is important enough, it will receive enough keep votes and there's nothing to worry about. With repect to Jscott, he's totally welcome to discuss anything with me, as long as he actually discusses it with me. Communication between you two should go on your or his talk page.

      • Wyllium: No problem, I mirrored the uncensored discussion on my talk. — David Remahl 08:51, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
        • Once again, as long as you adress me, you're free to discuss anything with me. Wyllium 08:54, 2004 Nov 17 (UTC)
          • Hence the "Wyllium: " and the "No problem.". — David Remahl 08:57, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
        • Excellent. You, Wyllium, are why I run my own site. You, Wyllium, is why nearly any major attempt to organize people ends with someone holding the floor for untold times talking about "procedure". You, Wyllium, are what keeps people like myself and RaD Man in business, making us work to save and collect history because some mouth-breather decided it wasn't "important". You, Wyllium, are what I will spend the last breath I have on earth fighting. It all has to start somewhere, and it will start with you. I hate you. --Jscott 08:59, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
