Regarding the deletion of Sheezyart

I would like to discuss the reasoning behind the deletion of our page, Sheezyart. The page, Sheezyart, is a catalog of important events that coincide with the art gallery site. It is use to show the history of the site and to give others an idea of what this site is about and what we offer to our users. This page is regularly visited by our users and it is kept as up to date as possible by our staff, proving that the source of the information is as sound as possible. We would like to request that it be restored to it's previous status.~Prismind

Your statement implies that the page is intended to be nothing but advertising for the website. Kimchi.sg 12:00, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't know how you can call it advertising when it also covers information that could be considered unfavorable to Sheezy. Stuff along those lines include: frequent downtimes, admin behavior that has upset people, trolls in the forums, etc. Dunno if you still have a backup of the original article, but those sections are actualy pretty long.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.155.217.25 (talk • contribs)

It is not meant to be interpreted as Advertisement. It's just a record of what has occur on the site in its history. If it was advertising us, it would be biased and only talk about the good events that occur on the sight but we include every major downtime and problem that occurs on the site to be unbiased as possible. Like mentioned before, this is a log of the site's history.~Prismind 12/2/06 5:55 pm (EST)

Even if it was not meant to be an advertisement, there were other problems that doomed the article:

1. The article did not mention how the site is notable. This made it liable to be speedy deleted.
2. The article did not cite any sources other than an external link to the website. Kimchi.sg 08:14, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, looking for at the criteria for being a notable site, it would require the page to be written by someone or linked to a site who is completely independent of our site. How can that happen when the site is being used to logged what is going on the site. An outside source cannot supply correct or credible information, making the article false. Also, the site itself is a major source, seeing as new posts are made on the site. A majority of the information that was posted on this page could be cited by to the main site. Some of the minor issues, like short downtimes and the such, are just posted here as a sign of credibility to through who are reading it here. The site does not need to post these minor events because the users of the site are aware and are affected by it. ~Prismind 12/3/06 12:45 (EST)

If you cannot "allow" outside sources to write about your site, most likely that means it is not notable enough for Wikipedia. You can place publicity info on your own site, but do not expect us to accept the same. We must have coverage about the site from sources not affiliated with the site for an article to be written. No independent sources, no article. Kimchi.sg 17:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

By the way please don't type the EST thing when you end your posts. Just type ~~~~ (by pressing Shift + the key next to 1, four times). Kimchi.sg 17:53, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Its not a matter of disallowing others to write about the site, and this has never occurred. The information found on the once existing wikipedia article was in no way an advertisement or a dump for publicity as you claim. The article was -often- edited by non-affiliated parties to the subject matter. However, if you really need to debate the notability of the site, you are welcome to browse over to the link below, which is a google search returning results under the keyword sheezyart, and excluding results from the domain sheezyart.com. I ask that you read over the roughly 104,000 results for this request and then determine its notability as an online community. Furthermore, I'd request that any future article related to sheezyart not be held responsible for posting these 104,000 links to independent sites discussing, reviewing, expressing distaste and appreciation for sheezyart in fear of being speedy deleted without any chance or time to make any needed and biased changes you'd like to exert. Link of Happy. If this is too unreasonable of a request, I'd like to recommend the articles under Storm-Artists, Elfwood, and DeviantART for speedy deletion. I see no more or less of an adertisement and lack of 'notability' on these articles than what was deteled under SheezyArt. Thanks for your time.--SPtwentythree 02:50, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

User:Pixel ;-)

Hi - as you blocked the user, I thought I'd seek your advice on some trolling by his IP (87.65.153.140 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · filter log · WHOIS · RDNS · RBLs · http · block user · block log)), of which you too were a target (brought to my attention on IRC). I feel that this justifies a longer block on the user account, but thought I'd check for your opinion first. Martinp23 19:04, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Public holidays in Peru

I'm not sure if this category should have that name. Public holidays means there's not a labor day, however there are plenty of celebrations in Peru that not necessarily imply is a National Holiday. Pastorcillos de Navidad is just a celebration or a custom that, just for mere coincidence, imply to be celebrated on December 24th (Christmas). So I believed the first name of Celebrations of Peru was ok or maybe Typical Festivities in Peru. Something like that. --Evelyn Zuñiga 18:54, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

AfD for Second Round

I have nominated Second Round for deletion because it is an unsourced article about an unreleased album for which I cannot find reliable sources. You may comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Second Round. -- Donald Albury 00:00, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I assume it wasn't directly as a result of me reverting you over the usage of a unsourced album cover in the article? Oh well, it seems the image wasn't worth reverting for. :-> Kimchi.sg 01:22, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh no. I just don't like articles about albums that will be issued on some vague future date with little or no real information available. As the article listed a December 5 release date I was letting it ride, but when the release date suddenly jumped out to March, 2007, I decided it was time to do something. -- Donald Albury 00:12, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

HistMac.gif

For no apparent reason, using the Commons one was causing actual display problems with the image - this was reported by someone on IRC, and I found myself having the same issues. If memory serves, frame 3 wasn't displaying properly and causing it to either hang half-displayed, or leap immediately to frame 4 and flash through. Very weird. My assumption was that the Commons version was corrupted in some way - checking the en.wp copy, it displayed okay, so I reinstated it.

However, the Commons version is displaying fine for me now, which is very odd - it was certainly going screwy earlier, but nothing has changed. I wonder if there's a weird caching issue somewhere? Shimgray | talk | 02:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

WiktionaryZ

I noticed you deleted this article and I understand why, the reasons you evoked was right but I think WZ has still its place in the Wikipedia namespace, so I ask to an admin to restore it and I did. Tell me if you mind. 16@r 22:26, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

I do not see how it's relevant to Wikipedia, and hence it doesn't even belong in the project namespace. The Wikipedia namespace is reserved for pages relevant to this Wikipedia project only. Kimchi.sg 23:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Hildanknight again?

Hi. You might be interested in WP:AN#Help, please... [2] since it relates to a confirmed RFCU that you initiated a few months back. Honestly it seems like he should have gotten a bigger block for intentionally vandalizing articles and then reverting them to drum up hatred for anon's. —Wknight94 (talk) 02:08, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

My thanks to the both of you for your help on this. Without a lot of time on my hands for Wiki-work, I thought I'd never be able to find enough proof of his behavior to merit someone believing me. I noticed this recent edit as well; he reverted it several minutes later. I think the frequency of this anti-anon attacks are increasing... What can be done? --172.192.252.10 17:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, I have a feeling his userpage has been protected too long, and for the wrong reasons: you will notice that his page history has a lot of vandal edits from one IP address. Take a look and you will see that the IP is registered to Singapore! Methinks he doesn't want anons to edit his page and has vandalised it himself. And the other IP that vandalised it is also registered to Singapore. I don't even have to check his contribs to know that he didn't have any edits in that timeframe. He really isn't a target for vandalism-unprotection, perhaps? --172.192.252.10 17:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you again, but I find this edit and the next ones that follow highly suspicious-Hildanknight has always said that that article in particular would be better off sprotected, and it has been for a very, very long time. It has enough vandalism from registered users to keep it protected, but somehow I find it ironic that yet another article HK hovers around has a lot of vandalism that all follow the same pattern. Do you think that he could be creating these accounts to keep the article sprotected? --172.192.252.10 17:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your detailed investigation, but I believe that no further action is required, other than what the page protection policy allows. It is flexible enough to prevent vandals and agenda-pushing users alike from gaming the system. Kimchi.sg 15:47, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

The deletion of The Sims 3

According to gamespot.com the sims 3 has been officially announced and the creation of the article is not so called "crystal balling", here is the announcement on gamespot.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.138.219 (talk • contribs)

The Gamespot article was posted Nov 2. It just tells us:

Yes, there's a Sims 3 in development and it's likely to be a fiscal '09 title," said Jenson, meaning the game would hit stores before April 2009. The executive also confirmed that the Sims franchise will also be coming to two next-generation platforms--the Wii and the PlayStation 3.

The points in bold, which are all that the article tells us about Sims 3, don't provide enough material for even a stub on the game. Kimchi.sg 13:45, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

True, but at least its some bit of information, some people want to know when it might be out, and they come to wikipedia for answers. I think you should get rid of the block on it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.202.158.242 (talk • contribs)

The mention of Sims 3 in the Sims is adequate at this point. Kimchi.sg 23:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

You reverted your own {{copyvio}} tag on this page, presumably on the basis of the claim on the talk page that the poster was the copyright holder.

MfD listing

Shouldn't Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Talk:Racialism/Version A be listed at WP:AfD instead? Although it is a subpage, it is in article space and is being nominated for deletion based on article criteria. I think the current nomination at MfD should be closed and the article relisted at AfD. —Doug Bell ^talk 10:32, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

But Talk:September 11, 2001 attacks/NPOV-rewrite1 was listed on MfD as well, and it was a POV fork too. Kimchi.sg 10:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Good point...I guess procedure and precedent are just unclear on this point. I don't have any stake in the current page you've listed, I was just looking for some procedural clarity. —Doug Bell ^talk 11:56, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Last November article

When you get a chance, can you also close the last article from Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 November 28?

That said, I haven't seen any sources in the comments that would make me change my mind. Thanks! ~ trialsanderrors 00:54, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

RIC Environmental Club

I believe you made a mistake deleting the RIC Environmental Club wikipedia page. I have sourced all of my information and the Rhode Island College Environmental Club has been very active around the Rhode Island College Campus. We have 20 active members and a 80 person emailing list which is more than some frats listed on here. We are recongized by the institution of Rhode Island College and I had put the website listing the Rhode Island College Environmental Club with the lists of all the other organization at Rhode Island College. I am the club President. We have alot more information to put up on Wikipedia and we would like to use Wikipedia as a tool which can help spread information about our club to any person interested in attending Rhode Island College. I would also like to note that we are listed on the Rhode Island College Wikipedia Article and are working side by side with the Audubon Society of Rhode Island, Save the Bay, and Miss Rhode Island 2006 to make the world a better place. http://www.myspace.com/ricec http://www2.ric.edu/student_activities/sOrganizations.php

Ironwolf285 06:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

I believe I have not made a mistake deleting the page. Even if the article is totally sourced, the group still needs to be notable per our group article guidelines before it merits an article. If you have read the guidelines and still feel that the article should be restored, please make a request on deletion review - if there is consensus to restore the article after a week, it may be restored.

Consensus version supported by Bryan, 12pt, DP1976, RWR8189, Lawyer2b and myself (total of 6 editors):

1. Remove material from and links to articles by Todd Brendan Fahey, William Rivers Pitt and Michael Niman. They are heavily biased against Free Republic and they are self-published. They are not reliable.

2. Remove material related to Chad Castagana, restaurant owners who reported Jenna Bush, and implied death threats against President Clinton. These are undue weight violations.

Suspected Sock Puppetry

Hello, in this AfD I noticed a trend by the nominator and the first person who left a comment. They both seemed to create accounts for the sole purpose of trying to delete articles by Asian bloggers.

Sorry I commented on the AfD after it was closed, I didn't see that it had been closed. DelPlaya 10:41, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

We've been seeing many AFDs started by single-purpose accounts of late. some of the articles are actually delete-worthy so i think simply closing the obvious keeps should be sufficient remedy. Kimchi.sg 11:05, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Free Republic

Some of the people supporting this new consensus are new accounts but they clearly have extensive histories as Wikipedia editors, using unregistered anonymous IP addresses. For example, while the 12ptHelvetica account is just a few weeks old and appears to be a single purpose account, a sockpuppet investigation revealed [4] that he had previously posted for over two years on a variety of topics from the IP address 208.250.137.2 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) BryanFromPalatine revealed that in July 2006, he had edited a completely unrelated article anonymously from IP address 205.179.211.30 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · block log) and claimed that he had been editing "a broad range of other articles over the past three years, from another IP address which I refuse to disclose, since I'd like to believe that I still have a right to privacy." It's clear that checking the IP addresses of such accounts as ArlingtonTX should yield a similar history of contributions. Also, it should be noted that such users as BenBurch do not come to the Wikipedia "court" of administrators with clean hands themselves. BenBurch was aware from his sockpuppet investigation that these relatively new, and apparently single purpose accounts have extensive and diverse previous histories as unregistered IP addresses. I suspect that his failure to mention this factor when complaining to you, and suggesting that these users should be banned as sockpuppets, may not have been accidental. - DP1976 16:00, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
