Hey fucking retard

I was deleting my own post. Quit sending me fucking sandbox warnings you fucking retard.


Regarding the deletion of Engine001's Wikipedia page

Hi :)

The Engine 001 Wikipedia page was deleted for two reasons: "User admitted that it was a copyvio" and "author blanking"

Sorry to be a pain, but i am not sure what 'author blanking' means. Also, if i made another Wikipedia page for the software titled "001 action / rpg maker"; Its offical name, would that be ok? I strongly believe this software deserves its own page, and i am prepared to gather a large amount of information and team of contributors before i start the entry this time. I will also ensure there is no bias.

If you feel there should not be a page for the software at this present time, ill take your word for it.

Thanks for your time. Evergreen481 (talk) 08:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know where you got the information that the article was deleted on the grounds you listed, but it is still in place (though perhaps not for long). For your information, "Author blanking" means that the author of the only substantial content in an article has blanked the page, which is interpreted as a desire to have it deleted. Such requests are honored when no one else made any substantial contribution to the article.
Here at Wikipedia, we do not give articles about software on the grounds that "they deserve it," or that people should know about it. The only thing we look at is whether enough people already know about it, and whether it has already verifiably caught the attention of a reliable source. (Blogs, forums, and wikis (even Wikipedia itself) do not count as reliable sources.) By that criterion, a piece of software can be total junk yet have an article about it, while another one could be the epitomy of perfection yet have its Wikipedia article deleted on the grounds that it has no notoriety. A Wikipedia article should reflect an already established notoriety for its subject, not establish it itself. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 10:53, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It appears that as soon as i logged in the page undeleted. When i last searched for it it came up with what i previously described. Thanks for your help. Evergreen481 (talk) 21:38, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? Would you mind please explaining the creation of this article with a db- tag? AKRadeckiSpeaketh 23:52, 28 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Because of a bug in Special:NewPages, any page that gets moved by an administrator without a redirect remains listed as unpatrolled even though it is, technically, nonexistent. The bug report is linked to in the template I used (template which I also created), and the only way around the bug, currently, is to recreate the page just long enough to mark it as patrolled. Quite useful when doing backlog patrolling, which I've been doing quite a lot lately, as it removes useless stuff from the list.
When I created the template {{db-unpatrolled}}, I made it quite clear that the template itself should be deleted as soon as the bug gets fixed. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:01, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Since I expect you won't be the only one asking me this, could you suggest a place where I could write the above explanation quite prominently for anyone else who will be asking? -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:02, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Great explanation, thanks! I'd suggest maybe a bolded item in the db template? Maybe "If you want more information on why this has been done, please read...." and link to a subpage somewhere? Just a thought. Many thanks for taking the time to answer the question, though! AKRadeckiSpeaketh 02:35, 29 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Stop Drop'n Skank

You deleted my article on the acclaimed Toronto band Stop Drop'n Skank. You said this was because they did not have any achievement that would allow the band to have a wikipedia article when i clearly stated that it had a good reviewed album on iTunes. I even edited my article to say that Stop Drop'n Skank was most successful for there album on iTunes, and i also put under the article's discussion page exactly why it should not be deleted yet you still deleted it. I am suspecting that you only deleted the article because yo had not heard of the band and you disproved of the name. This would make sense seeing that you are strongly Christian. —Preceding unsigned comment added by FunMan3344 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't do the actual deletion, nor did the name of the band affect my decision to tag your article. As a matter of fact, I never thought the name was even a problem before you brought it up here. The fact of the matter is, since the band released its album only on iTunes (and not at HMV, for example), it is not likely to be known widely enough. Please be aware that a band's talent is no guarantee of a Wikipedia article: such talent has to be verifiably noticed by a reliable source first. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 00:48, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are a lot of bands on wikipedia that are not sold in HMV non internet buying of cds is going out of buisness —Preceding unsigned comment added by FunMan3344 (talk • contribs) 01:18, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I know. There are a lot of bands on the Internet. That's why we must sort them out to weed out the ones that barely got noticed at all, and set a minimum standard for notability. See WP:MUSIC for the guidelines. Be aware that if an article gives no indication that a band does meet those guidelines, the article may be deleted without a discussion. -- Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 01:30, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yves Carbonne

Hi,

Re. Yves Carbonne, I see there's been a bit of edit-warring going on :-)

Remembering that there is no deadline, please could you cooperate in two ways;

1. Please don't edit the article further, while we resolve this

2. Please, instead, *suggest* your edits and discuss them in the article talk page.

I will add a section to the talk page right now, Talk:Yves_Carbonne#The_battle_of_March_.272009

Thanks for your cooperation :-)

Cheers for that! I'm still engaged in, err, 'discussions' with the user in IRC. Hopefully they'll get the hang of things and discuss. We can but hope. Thanks!  Chzz  ►  23:01, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why inapproptiate?

Can you please elaborate on what grounds you deem the videos I posted to "Central Asia" and "Empire" as inappropriate? They are lecture videos presented by respected scholars from around the country. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.174.52.203 (talk) 21:27, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
