Machine Translations

General practice is that we do not use machine translations on wikipedia. By doing so on Deliblato Church, all you've done is made a terrible article that is practically unintelligible, and which will probably stay as such for a long time--Jac16888 ^Talk 11:24, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Thanks for telling me! I'll keep that in mind in the future. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk | If you reply somewhere other than my talk, please leave me a talkback template. 16:41, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Deliblato Church

The article Deliblato Church has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Machine translaton of a non-encyclopedic article that does not exist in the original language wikipedia

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Andreas ^(T) 14:06, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Cookie

Ah... thanks! Just what I need right now! When I use infoboxes that don't work, I often find the problem is in one of the added items (after the "=" if you know what I mean!) and very often a missing bracket. Regards, --Beloved Freak 16:17, 22 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:First Light- An Oratorio — World premiere 2005 C. E. CD album artwork resized to 150 pixels high.png

A tag has been placed on File:First Light- An Oratorio — World premiere 2005 C. E. CD album artwork resized to 150 pixels high.png requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Stanwriter

Greetings! First, thank you for filing the sockpuppet investigation request at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Stanwriter. The report appears to be correctly filed and filed in good faith.

What I'm unclear on at this point is how the two accounts have been working together to abuse the system. I don't see where Stanwriter was issued enough warnings that he was in peril of being blocked. The article hasn't gone to AfD yet, so they certainly aren't stacking votes there. Is there something else more abusive that's going on here that I'm missing? If there's not, then I don't think they've done anything yet that warrants a sockpuppet investigation—although I will be watching the BaseKit article to see what goes on there. —C.Fred (talk) 14:41, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Sorry to bother you. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk | If you reply somewhere other than my talk, please leave me a talkback template. 14:48, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, not bothering at all. You saw something that looked odd and asked for further assistance with it (or to use the military analogy, called in the cavalry). I don't see anything sinister in the pattern (yet), so I've explained the situation to the most-recently-active user. That said, the user has also had the guidelines explained to them, so if it were to prove out that it's a sockpuppet relationship and they're used abusively in the future, he knows the penalty, so I would be willing to block one/both accounts much more quickly. —C.Fred (talk) 14:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To Xenon54: Thank you for replying. I have removed the talkback bit from my signature and added the usertalkback template to my talk page. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 22:24, 10 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your RfA

I regret to inform you that I closed your RfA per WP:NOTNOW. You simply do not have enough experience. However, this is not a deterrent for your next RfA. You may try again when you have a bit more experience in admin areas, such as WP:AIV, WP:AFD, and WP:CSD. Sorry, and good luck on your next one! --The High Fin Sperm Whale 01:22, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! Thank you for informing me that you had done so. I'll try again in a year or two. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 01:26, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, a year or two might be a bit too pessimistic; judging by recent other admin candidates, I would suggest at least six months though, yes. I would also suggest to read some of the recent successful and unsuccessful candidacies to get a feel what the community expects, and to keep an eye on your speedy deletion nominations that were declined, to find out why, and to maybe act differently in the future: too many incorrect speedy deletion nominations have in the past often killed RfAs; that can happen if you're very active in new page patrol, but nonetheless, that's where you should strife to be as accurate as possible.
Kind regards, Amalthea 01:33, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Amalthea, thank you for your kind advice. I will take care when nominating speedy deletions, and perhaps try another RfA sooner than I expected I would. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 01:36, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just wanted to let you know I've reopened your RfA; consensus is quickly developing at WT:RFA that the closure was premature. Hopefully you'll be able to receive some advice. –Juliancolton | ^Talk 02:15, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Tasty planet

Hello Ecw.t.dweeb. Just to let you know, I declined the speedy deletion you suggested for this article, because CSD A7 does not apply to games. Thanks, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:08, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind in the future. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 03:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It also does not apply to songs. [1]. Sorry to have to bring these up while you have an RfA underway. Best wishes, Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:15, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again thanks. And please, don't apologise! Any help I can get — anytime — is ... help. :-) (BTW, the RfA doesn't seem at all to likely to succeed... I need a bit more experience :-P) Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 03:19, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

P. S.: I doubt that just because I have an RfA happening now I should neglect learning things that can help improve the encyclopedia or its workings. :-) Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 03:24, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In fact, likely the opposite. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 03:25, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Gotta like that attitude! Keep learning and keep plugging away at things, and we'll look forward to a future RfA for you! Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:28, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A tangent: A7 does not apply to songs. However, A9 applies to musical recordings (songs or albums) where there is no assertion of significance or importance and there is no article for the artist. —C.Fred (talk) 05:11, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Cheers!☮ —Ecw.Technoid.Dweeb | contributions | talk 12:24, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

RFA

Better luck next time. On the CSD's, look for a way to improve before tagging. When in doubt-- don't. Things like the declined speedies during an RFA happen sometimes. Don't give up. There's next time. Dloh cierekim 03:32, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to be the bearer of more bad news, but I've re-closed your RfA. While this one didn't succeed, I personally would like to support your next RfA in four to six months time. Don't be discouraged- there have been plenty of successful 2nd and 3rd successful RfA's. Bradjamesbrown (talk) 05:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
