Happy Adminship Anniversary!

Bobby Borg

You deleted my page. I was the Drummer for Warrant, Beggars & Thieves, and Left For Dead. These bands are all internationally known bands and still sell records. Further, I am a best selling author in the area of music business and speak all over the country at major institutions. I teach at UCLA and MI and my articles are all over the Web. How can I get a page back up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.179.233 (talk) 04:05, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sock roaming in FAC

Dear Wizardman, I don't know whether you know me, hello I'm Legolas. I came here after seeing this edit of yours. My question is, what can we do about this disruptive alternate account? — Legolas (talk2me) 16:33, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Alan Durst article

Back in July 2010 you added a tag to the article I had written on Alan Durst to the effect that you considered it an orphan.

I have added several links/references and wonder whether it would be in order for me now to remove the "orphan" tag.

FAC

I'm pretty uncomfortable with this. There is definitely an argument that the user is violating WP:POINT, but there is also an argument that he is leaving his feedback on the FAC. Whether it is actionable is up to the FAC delegates to decide, and whether he gets to participate at FAC is for the community to decide. Simply removing the comment doesn't seem kosher to me, and there is little precedent for even the most ridiculous comments being removed wholesale. --Andy Walsh (talk) 18:54, 28 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Randall Cunningham undo

Although Randall Cunningham did punt once in the NFL, and it bounced for a record 91 yards, he was not a punter, and listing that as his position next to quarterback is not only misleading but inaccurate. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Let14intohof (talk • contribs) 13:55, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Reds

Thanks for the poke. I'll get the names replaced and move it back this weekend, but a decent bit of that was still the Cubs list as a template, so I've put it back in userspace for now. Courcelles 18:17, 29 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Michael Aquino and Other Notable Satanists

I have a library of citations I can use to support the construction of pages on those who are notable Satanists and I'd like to start with one of the most obvious: Michael Aquino. you mentioned on my UserTalk page that you were aware that the Aquino page had been deleted because the previous discussions were insufficiently substantiated as regard Notability and said that if "new sources" were found then it'd be worth renewing that page. I don't know what those previous discussions included or where they might be located so as to evaluate whether what i am referring to is a 'new source'.

here is the text from that interaction to which you never responded (and never responded in August to my post here about the same thing):

  • very glad to hear that, Wizardman. since i have no link to the discussion prior then i cannot ascertain what would be "newfound" references. I have a great number of them, including Gordon Melton, Arthur Lyons, James R. Lewis and others who count Michael Aquino and his Temple of Set as worthy of coverage as a micro-Luther to the CoS Roman Catholics. how would you like me to offer up these references to you? I would think these kinds of things would be all over the internet as well, but i know that wiki has a higher standard of authentication.-- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 00:48, 15 August 2010 (UTC)

please direct me to a spot which will have this discussion or indicate to me whether any of the sources that i mentioned in my UserTalk page response are new to you. thank you. -- self-ref (nagasiva yronwode) (talk) 15:54, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Connolly AFD

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Simon Connolly had a second article added to the nomination, Meera Thavasothy. Was there sufficient discussion of this article for it to be deleted, or is a separate AFD needed? January (talk) 16:45, 30 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Poke

Thanks for checking up on me. I gave up on editing for the longest time shortly after Featured Topic requirements changed. I had spent two years working on a big collection of articles for a featured topic, and shortly after I managed to get it featured, the requirements were raised and it was delisted. That was really discouraging, and I haven't edited much as a result. I'm trying to convince myself to begin editing again, but it isn't an easy process.

Topic

Hello

Wikipedia:Featured topics/Star Wars episodes - it should be still Good Topic ? PMG (talk) 05:17, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Re: GA

Yes, I just keep forgetting about it and I've been so busy with exams and other things. I will review it after my exam this morning. ℥nding·start 12:02, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE:FYI

Yea, I noticed it a bit lately. Thanks though. And sorry for my ignorance! :P --Gaius Claudius Nero (talk) 17:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

2009 World Series

This is serious wiki-stalking, but I noticed you added the potential 09 World Series FAC to your 2011 to-do list. Do you think it's worth another go (or maybe a PR run through)? It went through FAC but largely just didn't draw many comments beyond the initial people (and I feel I dealt with their issues). What do you think?

WikiCup 2011 January newsletter

We are half way through round one of the WikiCup. Signups are now closed, and we have 129 listed competitors, 64 of whom will make it to round two. Congratulations to The Bushranger (submissions), who, at the time of writing, has a comfortable lead with 228 points, followed by Zanzibar Hurricanehink (submissions), with 144 points. Four others have over 100 points. Congratulations also go to Greece Yellow Evan (submissions), who scored the first points in the competition, claiming for Talk:Hurricane King/GA1, Principality of Sealand Miyagawa (submissions), who scored the first non-review points in the competition, claiming for Dognapping, and United Kingdom Jarry1250 (submissions) who was the first in the competition to use our new "multiplier" mechanic (explanation), claiming for Grigory Potemkin, a subject covered on numerous Wikipedias. Thanks must also go to Jarry1250 for dealing with all bot work- without you, the competition wouldn't be happening!

A running total of claims can be seen here. However, numerous competitors are yet to score at all- please remember to submit content soon after it is promoted, so that the judges are able to review entries. The number of points that will be needed to reach round two is not clear- everyone needs to get their entries in now to guarantee their places! If you are concerned that your nomination will not receive the necessary reviews, and you hope to get it promoted before the end of the round, please list it on Wikipedia:WikiCup/Reviews. However, please remember to continue to offer reviews at GAC, FAC and all the other pages that require them to prevent any backlogs which could otherwise be caused by the Cup. As ever, questions are welcome on Wikipedia talk:WikiCup and the judges are reachable on their talk pages, or by email. Good luck! If you wish to start receiving or stop receiving this newsletter, please feel free to add or remove yourself from Wikipedia:WikiCup/Newsletter/Send.

Despite my best efforts, I can't find anything to fault in this article relating to the Good Article criteria. Therefore the article has been promoted to Good Article. Congratulations! - DustFormsWords (talk) 23:14, 31 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hey there, Just curious why you deleted the Bobby Borg page. I was the drummer in a few major label bands that are still selling, I have a book out with random house that is selling, and I an a writer with 1000s of published articles. Please explain. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.208.179.233 (talk) 03:56, 3 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marli Harwood / Buck

Hello there. I wanted to get in touch as you recently deleted an entry by Marli Harwood. There was some serious misunderstanding by the artist herself about the rules & regulations of wiki. I look after her online publicity and would like to create a new wiki which follows all guide lines. I can assure you that there will be no further edits by the artist herself and will read well & be relevant. She is notable as is currently record of the week on Radio 2 in the UK. Any help you can give me on this would be very helpful. Best wishes Doug Hall
