Geek Central

Hey, I noticed that you removed the geek central page that I added just a short while ago. I tried to do the hangon thing but that didn't work! It says that it was deleted because it doesn't indicate any significance or important... I think it's important that students know what their priviliages will be when they move up the school system. Is there anything I can do so that it doesn't get speedily deleted, and kept on?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.117.118 (talk) 17:55, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. In general, probably not. Wikipedia is not really a collector of all facts, articles have to have some level of notability (a good rule of thumb is significant press coverage). This is both to focus in on what can be collaboratively contributed to (things which are of some broad interest) and because everything has to be verifiable (independently reported on in a published source). Most high school clubs and organizations do not qualify. I can appreciate that writing the article was a lot of work (we certainly always can use additional writers, so it would be a shame to lose you), but I don't see how Geek central can meet that standard. See also my reply on your talk page User talk:Ptptaylor. Thanks, --TeaDrinker (talk) 18:43, 30 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the understanding, i can see how it isn't in the interest of wikipedia to be on there. Hopefully it won't put me off doing anything else!

cheers again! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.159.117.118 (talk) 08:11, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly hope to see you around in the future! Thanks, --TeaDrinker (talk) 18:33, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Santa56 has been vandalizing

Hi TeaDrinker. A user named Santa56 has been vandalizing the articles of high schools in Utah, like changing the American Fork High School's mascot from Caveman to slug, the Logan High School's from Grizzwald to puma, and Timpanogos High from Timberwolf to cow. All of these edits are incorect, as I live near them, and know a little about them. I know how to undo the edits, but I don't know what I should do after that, so I trust that you can help me. Thanks. --Webdog1000 23:08, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the note, I have blocked the user. For a quicker response to this sort of petty vandalism, you might try administrator intervention against vandalism. Thanks again and keep up the great work! --TeaDrinker (talk) 18:32, 1 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Would you please

Could you delete these as well? Thanks. --evrik ^(talk) 16:40, 19 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

AFD

Nice how you jumped right on the article supporting a manmade global warming consensus, but not on the article opposing this view. Did someone contact you about reviewing this article for deletion?--THE FOUNDERS INTENT ^TALK 01:21, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what second article you are referring to. I have Scientific opinion on climate change on my watchlist since it is a frequent target for vandalism, but to answer your question, no one contacted me (such a practice is usually frowned upon; if you have come across it elsewhere please let me know). If you have further questions don't hesitate to send them my way. Best, --TeaDrinker (talk) 01:27, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ummmm, i just started?

I was not finished, i thought that we had more then 1 hour to add more to it. Can't i take a nap and come back or something??? Sheeshe... Also, the notability requirements say "Failing to satisfy the notability guidelines is not a criterion for speedy deletion.", and "note that the failure to meet any of these criteria does not mean an article must be deleted", and under the conditions for qualifications it states ""Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or of the local scene of a city"". A full length album is being released, and there HAS been publicity of the works via the local club scenes. A lot of the underground clubs in the Cincinnati area are playing this music, and also it is catching on the net. It doesn't really matter i guess, because it's already been deleted... Anyway, i would like to just say that there is a band called Violent Work of Art, who could never get a record deal, and never was -- and never WILL BE -- played on the radio, but they're one of the biggest underground bands in Europe (and many other parts of the world), so, maybe some of you guy need to re evaluate what you should consider 'notable'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alex-Grim (talk • contribs) 01:17, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

re:Manhwa

Hi, TeaDrinker, I already went to WP:RFP, but my request was declined. And the vandal(s) is(are) likely a banned Japanese user whom I've known well (because I've reported to RFCU and they's been indefintely blocked for their wrongdoings) of per the tendentious same disruption at the article over months, and of course, I've tried to talk with them (him), but nothing ever returned. As you see, I started a discussion at the talk page, also nothing returned. So I sincerely request to make the article under semi-protection. Regards. --Appletrees (talk) 01:26, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your spending time and effort for me. Sure, the above banned users that I suspect the anons are the same editors have great interest in any manhwa and manga related articles. They too know well that I care about the former (because I and Koreans or any editors who edit that they don't like have been watched by the biggest off-wiki Japanese forum, 2channel over for me 6 months but for others 4 years, and they know what articles I edit, and why I submitted many RFCU files on them). They've tried to corner me to violate 3RR rule over and over......More than 7 vandals and countless IP users are banned due to their stalking and harassing me as well. So could you put the article on your watchlist for the future? Thanks..--Appletrees (talk) 02:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

User talk:Thermonuclear fission12

Hi
You removed my request of deleting User talk:Thermonuclear fission12 speedily, saying that WP:CSD#G1 doesn't apply to userspace. I disagree, and not only does WP:CSD#General_criteria explicitly say that it applys to all namespaces, there's also a lot of precedence for it, in particular a previous speedy deletion of the same user's page due to WP:CSD#G10.
The current users page is also similar to his recent vandalism (or unconstructive edit, or maybe even edit of a sockpuppet's page judging by the similar nonsense style?) of User:Darthchocolate14 (which was deleted in the meantime, but you should be able to still see it I guess?) and his vandalism of 12 (number). Because of that, I'd rather be strict with that user and still recommend speedy deletion, even if the current page is obviously not as harmful as an attack page. Cheers, Amalthea (talk) 09:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, remember me?

I think we've met before. You were one of the people who thought I was just a one-time user. It was originally planned that way, yes. But I saw some things I wanted to change or improve here. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. Festering Rat Corpse (talk) 16:12, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Manhwa / Manga

Hi, TeaDrinker, I think I have put up with the Japanese OCN vandal's continued vandalism too much. I've tried to talk to the anon, requested to RFC but nothing but just vandalism on Zombie Hunter and Blade of the Phantom Master. These can be viewed as content disputes, but the two works are clearly created by Korean manhwa artists, and the anon keeps removing manhwa category (I don't delete manga category, but present a compromised edit). I think administrative action would be needed to the anon's behaviors. Also WP:3RR violation with obvious sockpuppetry account. Can you take a look at this case, especially at Blade of the Phantom Master and the talk page? Thanks.--Appletrees (talk) 23:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

These are the ip addresses with the same ISP at the articles. Also please take a look at this. Thanks.

Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Azukimonaka

--Appletrees (talk) 00:24, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind care. Your comment is always thoughtful and warm. I can feel the warmness in this beginning of the summer(?). :) Have a great day or night!--Appletrees (talk) 04:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Can you look at this 3RR violation?

Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR#User:Jazz81089_reported_by_User:Appletrees_.28Result:_.29

The semi-protection does not seem to work, because an obvious sock account, Jazz81089 (he return after his 8 months break and did the same thing on the article back then) also keeps revering. Judging by the ongoing circumstance, I think the anon/account clearly violated 3RR rules twice, WP:RFCU did not work because the total number of Jazz81089 (talk · contribs) are under 15. (see the Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/KoreanShoriSenyou). I feel frustration on this matter because he does not seem to care about consensus and discussion. Block might really needed for him. Thanks.--Appletrees (talk) 17:06, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Task force recruitment

Hi, I'm commenting here because I worked with you on condom in the past. I've proposed a task force to provide a discussion place for articles on methods of birth control, and was hoping you would be interested in joining. If you're interested, please add your name to the proposal: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Medicine/Task forces#Reproductive medicine. Lyrl^Talk _C 00:50, 18 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
