Here are my talk threads:

Harmon Afd

No rescue squad, just me and Thaddeus. I had brought this article back from deletion with only 2 sources and I built it to what it is now. This is only my second article and first Afd argument. I feel snowballed but the non-nonsensical arguments of Epbr123 and Hullaballoo and very frustrated that certain key policies, especially concerning interviews are primary sources, need to be changed. -Stillwaterising (talk) 05:13, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I see. Thanks for saving it :). Airplaneman talk 05:14, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you, it's my first. How do you think the Afd process will go? No consensus Keep? Reopen? Appeal?-Stillwaterising (talk) 05:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think the odds are in your favor, but there might be an appeal seeing how lengthy and heated the discussion has gone on. Good luck! Airplaneman talk 05:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks!

Hello airplaneman,and thank you for welcoming me to wiki! I have 2 questions and i'm hoping to get some answers.1 could you please show me how to edit my user page? 2 Could you also show me how to design my user page? Thank you and again,thank you for welcoming me to wiki!7oh!7 (talk) 14:16, 9 November 2009 (UTC)7oh!7[reply]

I'm glad that you've come to help contribute to the world's largest encyclopedia! To edit your userpage, just click the edit button ;). Wikipedia:User page design center is a good place to start for userpage design. Also, you might want to check out others' pages if you want a better feel for userpages in general (what should be on it, etc.). Wikipedia:Userpages has the exact guidelines. Userboxes can be found here. To arrange your userboxes, put them between {{userboxtop}} and {{userboxbottom}}. Happy editing! Airplaneman talk 15:28, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Fustiballus

Hope you don't mind, but I've removed your speedy on Fustiballus (see also Fustibalus). Seems the previous editor was confused with their own tagging of it and broke the template. How it ought to read is as it currently is, a redirect to cope with accidental mis-spellings. Clearly not G2 material.

If you disagree, of course feel free to re-tag it. Andy Dingley (talk) 16:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. I've categorized it :). Thanks for letting me know! Airplaneman talk 17:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for expanding my knowledge of "unprintworthy redirects"! Andy Dingley (talk) 17:42, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I thank HotCat! :D Airplaneman talk 17:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of "pedro fiorito"

A tag has been placed on "pedro fiorito", requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
hoax

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Dorieo (talk) 18:22, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why do I keep getting these messages for articles I didn't create? I moved the page to Pedro Fiorito, that is all (although I do agree with the delete, if not the reason). Airplaneman talk 18:23, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Two things

Can you review The Tide for me? Also, does the article To Plant a Seed need the cleanup and rewrite tags?

--ŁσςhĢσσbïï (talk) 18:39, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've reviewed The Tide. It's short, but it looks good. Try for some more references if possible. I cleaned up To Plant a Seed and removed the tags. Regards, Airplaneman talk 18:45, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. I'll see if I can get more references. --ŁσςhĢσσbïï (talk) 18:50, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Happy editing! Airplaneman talk 18:59, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

One more thing, please! Does the article The Great I Am need the tags at the top? Thank you so much Mr. Airplaneman! --ŁσςhĢσσbïï (talk) 19:05, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think it needs some expansion, but the references are enough for the size. Airplaneman talk 19:57, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Daydream

You know, it might help if you'd wait a bit after an article was created before making the sort of edits you did to that article. I'd just put it aside to get some information I needed and you waded in and made some ridiculous edits. For example, I'd put in [[ in music|]] with the intent to get the precise year, and you changed it to [[In Music]], as if there was an intent to link to an article called "In Music"! And what's worse, you put that in AFTER I FOUND the proper year. Also, you put in {{stub}} when there was a more appropriate stub type to use, and {{unreferenced}} just because I hadn't finished the article yet, so references had not yet been added! If you'd waited more than the less than a minute you did before editing, I wouldn't have had to revert most of what you did! -- BRG (talk) 19:36, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for being kind and understanding :). I was trying to help; there's something called {{underconstruction}}. As for the in music thing, I thought it was the album name. Sorry. Have a wonderful day! Airplaneman talk 19:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm... I read some of the edit summaries in the revision history of the article... I hope we can get past that. The way I edit new pages is correct ninety-nine percent of the time; it gives them a nudge into being better articles. I'm sorry for making those "stupid" edits. I'll make sure to avoid these articles in the future and instead focus my energy on more rewarding tasks. Airplaneman talk 19:55, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia Signpost: 9 November 2009

Fw: Welcome!

Hi Airplaneman, thank you very much for your message. Unfortunately I know very little English. I simply translate articles into Spanish and little else. Greetings. --Dorieo (talk) 17:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for all of your help! Happy editing, Airplaneman talk 22:18, 10 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Redirects

from the category description: This category should not contain any redirects itself; there are so many of them that a category of them all would be unmanageable - I reverted your addition of Category:Redirects to a redirect I was watching. If you think it makes sense to add those for some reason, please change the description of the category first (possibly after discussion). Take care, and have fun! --Alvestrand (talk) 06:26, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Whoops. Thanks for catching it! I'll keep this in mind next time. Thanks! Airplaneman talk 06:30, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

HotCat

Instead of hitting the minus sign to remove a category, hit the plus sign the way you would if you just wanted to make a minor spelling correction — and then completely replace the old category you want to remove with the new one you want to add. For instance, in this edit, I expanded "reality television participants", but then replaced that text with "Participants in American reality television series" before hitting save. Bearcat (talk) 08:05, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! Airplaneman talk 14:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the welcome!

I've actually been a member for about 3 1/2 years now - I didn't realise welcoming was a thing that happened! :-) I don't do much editing though, I must admit. I'll read the articles you suggested - they look useful. Thanks again! ClinkingDog (talk) 15:18, 12 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
