Michigan State University College of Engineering

I edited Michigan State University College of Engineering to make it less promotional. It should be okay now. -- Eastmain (talk) 23:04, 2 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looks far better now. I almost felt bad for tagging it; I knew it could be improved, but in the state it was in, the bottom paragraph was so blatantly spam... Apparently I'm being a bit too strict with my G11s, eh? DARTH PANDA^{duel • work} 06:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Bitesize

Hello

I amended this part of the page , which you have reverted. I probably did not make it clear why i made the change.

On the site it says:-

"With such a simple system, there are not many areas to fault, however, the website does have flaws, that have been pointed out on numerous websites. For example, the Computing Studies section has been criticised for being out of date. Similarly, it has been argued that the crass use of irritating kitcsh piranhas is patronizing and unaesthetically appealing."

It uses this sites as a reference http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/06/bitesize_gcse/

But this site only criticises ICT and makes no reference to "irritating kitcsh piranhas". I think this might be one persons point of view. But as i work for the BBC i thought it best just make it clear that the second criticism had no references. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.185.144.122 (talk) 14:55, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An edit from an IP mentioning "piranhas" generally looks like vandalism. In any case, I've undone my revert and struck your warning. You might want to cite the source you mentioned above so it does not look as much like vandalism next time. Sorry about that! DARTH PANDA^{duel • work} 15:00, 3 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blanked pages

Don't forget to use: {{db-blanked}}, for instance at Craig edwards, cheers Spitfire^Tally-ho! 14:26, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you look at the revision history, the page was originally tagged with an A7. However, the proper tag for the page would have been a G10. That being said, I was huggling quickly and did not check the creator of the page. A revert (which I did) was all I could have managed. You might want to pop a note to the original CSD tagger instead. DARTH PANDA^{duel • work} 15:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

heh, no problem, I thought after posting you this you were probably just patroling the recent changes and so wouldnt have relised, thanks, best wishes Spitfire^Tally-ho! 15:05, 4 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jeffrey Blankfort

Thx. Is it ok now ? Al Maghi (talk) —Preceding undated comment was added at 21:27, 7 February 2009 (UTC).[reply]

I still question the notability of the subject, but I don't suppose it can be speedied under A7 now. Tag removed. DARTH PANDA^{duel • work} 21:29, 7 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Music festivals in yorkshire

Sorry about the Music in yorkshire mess - please put me out of my misery and delete the offending item. --Elen of the Roads (talk) 01:07, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As I am not an admin, I cannot delete the page. However, I have tagged the page and fully expect that it should be deleted shortly. DARTH PANDA^{duel • work} 01:09, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: CSD Tagging

With all due respect, if you found that page comprehensible, you may be familiar with some language I evidently am not.

In part I kid. I confess I mostly skimmed it. You're a better editor than I for actually taking the time to read it in depth and address it more accurately. But in the glance I gave it, it seemed quite incomprehensible to me. If it was not, my thanks to you for setting it straight. - Vianello (talk) 01:10, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haha, I'm hardly a better editor. WP:PN is very specific and a personal pet peeve of mine (and of many other users). Technically, it should be a page that is thoroughly incomprehensible: no words of a known language (i.e. a;lsdkgj632q or random strings of characters). The page you had tagged was in English, though it was a load of nonsense. DARTH PANDA^{duel • work} 01:13, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah sorry. Should i just tag it as vandalism then? or A7? Riotrocket8676 ^{You gotta problem with that?} 01:17, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged it with an A7. You'd probably have to take it on a case by case basis... Personally, I'd prefer to be as lenient in CSDing to allow them possibility to expand. In the cases above, the deletion was pretty blatant though. DARTH PANDA^{duel • work} 01:20, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK thanks for the help/support. Riotrocket8676 ^{You gotta problem with that?} 01:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
