Show some patience.

Posting a speedy delete tag on a freshly created category (three minutes old!) is inappropriate. I'm in the process of cleaning up the supervillain category. Every category starts with a single entry. Give a day at the very least. Doczilla (talk) 05:11, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the speedy delete is okay in this one instance because that's supposed to be a category, not an article. That does not change the fact that you totally jumped the gun by posting that speedy delete tag on an article mere minutes after its creation. Give a person a day -- heck, an hour -- to write the darn article. Doczilla (talk) 05:17, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even when a stub template is appropriate, you just don't tag an article when it is mere minutes old. The creator may have been in the process of typing the stub tag in when you tagged it for speedy deletion. Doczilla (talk) 05:27, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Which seems kind of silly when you expect to be done within five minutes. Doczilla (talk) 08:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seconded - you need to show more patience!

Or, HEY! I WAS WORKING ON THAT!

I recently created a page on the Cyber Knights Templar - the CKT builds of PGP are the only 3rd party versions of PGP (probably the worlds most well known email encryption software) which were based on the official PGP release and gained widespread usage - they are certainly notable - why did you delete the article such a short time after it was created?!!

I did mark the article as being a stub, so it should have been pretty clear it was going to be extended - please have a little more patience in future!

At the most, a {{notability}} tag would have been sensible

FFS though! At least give an article a day or so before trying to delete it! Moonradar (talk) 11:17, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moonradar exactly makes Tommosimmo's point! This is an encyclopedia, so you've gotta say why the entity is notable ... richi (talk) 13:25, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Try reading what I typed before replying to it - if the article hadn't been prematurely deleted, I would have had a chance to flesh it out some more. Deleting articles before anyone's had the time to write them is just damn stupid

I'm going to recreate the article - try not to delete it before I've written the title this time... Moonradar (talk) 15:59, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of the fact that I needed to cite reliable sources but inspite of trawling the Internet, I couldn't find any site that gave satisfying information. That was the reason for me not citing any source. I was hoping somebody more knowledgeable would do the needful. Thanks. dirty but clean (talk) 12:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

When adding the {{copyvio}} tag you need to specify the url of the page you think it is infringing, using the form {{copyvio|url=http://www.some.com/page.html}}. Thanks, Rich257 (talk) 21:03, 21 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Cheers for the welcome man! TommyXKR (talk) 20:44, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I borrowed the userboxes off User: Kvn8907. Hopefully, she won't mind.

By the way, what does your username mean?

Cheers
