Klaksonn

The same thing with another Klaksonn sockpuppet happened here, except it was yesterday. We accused and they retired. --Enzuru 23:03, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closing stuff at SSP

Hey, just remember to use {{SSPa}} (per instructions at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Administrators), instead of other ways to close discussion threads, which may mess with the main page at WP:SSP, and also with the bot's archival process. Thanks for your help with WP:SSP! Cirt (talk) 17:23, 29 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Son May AFD

Consider yourself nudged ; ) Apparently no one cared enough to even make a half-hearted attempt at redeeming this article. Not a single post-afd edit. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 18:35, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not trying to be bothersome but I was wondering if you were ignoring this by accident or on purpose. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 21:53, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Neither. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:54, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify now that I have dealt with this but wikipedia hung when I tried this before the new year. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:57, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. Thanks much. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 22:03, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Lee new DRV

This is a courtesy notice as you were involved in AFD, DRV or CSD's and are hosting one of the userfied versions of the article in question regarding Matt Lee you may want to comment on the new DRV. Also, if you haven't already, you may also want to check out Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Redirect question and "Need history check for Matt Lee" ANI thread. Thanks.

Unblock request of User:Ontopofcosts

When you declined his request you said that "Removing cited text is rarely vandalism." I know that it is a typo, just giving you a heads up that you may want to correct that ;). Anyways, happy 09'. Inferno, Lord of Penguins 21:28, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly what I meant. Most removal of cited text is removed as part of a content dispute or due to editorial judgement. Content disputes are specifically not vandalism. Vandalism is something designed to damage the project not misplaced edits as part of a newbies learning the project or poor editorial judgement. The exemption from 3RR for vandalism is to do with stuff like reverting page blanking or reverting someone from keeping adding the word poop etc. I'm concious that most of my edits contain a typo of some description but for a change I actually managed to express what I wanted to say. Happy New Year to you as well. Spartaz ^Humbug! 21:52, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, thought you meant uncited. Anyways, my bad then. Happy new year. Inferno, Lord of Penguins 22:19, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:WhoWatches

Surely you're right to protect - four unblock requests? I'm confused now! Black Kite 17:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, only 3. I thought 4 also at first but its looks like Tan had a caching problem because there was no separate request for their unblock declined which overwrote the previous 3. Very odd. Spartaz ^Humbug! 18:00, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

?

Shouldn't these (Wikipedia:Reward board and Wikipedia:Bounty board) be deleted per Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/User:Sharkface217/Awards Center? --Eustress (talk) 20:06, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No I don't think they would be covered by the same MFD. They are much more long standing and have far less of a myspace/social networking quality to them. Spartaz ^Humbug! 23:43, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nick Savoy

Hi Spartaz,

I've been working on the "Nick Savoy" page that was previously deleted. With this new and rewritten article I would like to put it back up again. Since you were involved in the DRV, I would appreciate your feedback on the page of Nick Savoy before I put it back on DRV. Thanks in advance.Coaster7 (talk) 02:28, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

User:Dzhugashvili and his cavalcade of socks

Thanks for filing the RFCU for me; just not enough time in the day. You might be interested in some preliminary info I've put together at User:Barneca/watch/banbury‎. --barneca (talk) 03:24, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Washington Metropolitan Association of Chinese Schools

Hello Spartaz. If you don't mind, could you explain why you closed this discussion so soon after it was relisted by Aitias (talk · contribs)? Thanks, Skomorokh 00:35, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries, thanks for looking in to that. It's hard to keep track of deletion conventions sometimes so I thought I'd doublecheck that this was not routine. Regards, Skomorokh 00:40, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The short answer is I misread the date of the relist. The long answer is that I better go to bed or at least not admin while I'm sleepy. Thank you for pointing out my error so nicely. I have reversed my actions. Spartaz ^Humbug! 00:41, 5 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for User:Max2004

Dear Spartez. I would like to move that your claim for deletion be made more certain and definite or that it be dismissed for failure to state a claim. CNNfan is a definition of a type of fan which as been notably been accepted as a definition worldwide in encyclopedias and dictionaries: http://www.encyclo.co.uk/define/CNNfan, http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3Acnnfan . The article is intentionally not about a website, especially CNNfan.com which has been online for five years, making it The Longest Running Fansite in News, breaking the records held by FOXfan.com since 2002. Originally, it was submitted as a website, and rejected by Wikipedia. The article was then resubmitted as a type of fan. Does Wikipedia prosecution which has already been tried, double jeopardy prohibited in the fifth amendment to the United States? What was your intention for a Christmas Eve deletion of the CNNfan article ? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Max2004 (talk • contribs) 19:06, 7 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please read our guideline on reliable sourcing at WP:RS and then the general guideline on notability at WP:N. THe article was deleted because a consensus of editors decided that it did not have sufficient sourcing to meet our notability guidelines. THe discussion is at [[1]]. If you wish to challenge this, you only need to find two sources that meet the standards for secondary sources contained in the sourcing guideline. Best wishes.

Recreation of deleted content

Hi,

You deleted the Extreme Abuse Survey page in this AFD, but please note the creation of the Extreme abuse surveys page. Should it be re-AFDed, or can it be deleted as re-created deleted content? The page creator has no other contributions, Special:Contributions/Tn25dog, and the original contributor to the Extreme Abuse Survey page was a possible sockpuppet for the permablocked User:ResearchEditor (Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/ResearchEditor). I can't check the contributors to the original EAS page since it has been deleted. WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules:^simple/_complex 14:15, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

G4'd and salted both targets. Articles were the same. Spartaz ^Humbug! 15:12, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
