Maine Meetup?

Greetings! My name is Garrett Fitzgerald, and I've lived in Brewer for the past year. I just thought I'd check in with the rest of the Maine Wikipedians to see if there was enough interest to start organizing a Wikipedia:Meetup somewhere in the state. If you're interested, drop me a note by email or userpage: if there's enough interest, I'll see about organizing a bit more formally. See you around!--SarekOfVulcan 07:02, 20 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Non Admin Closures

Hey Auto, I was wondering what the policy is on non-admin AfD closures where the consensus is (non-controversially) delete. I thought that non-admin closures could only be preformed on AfDs that didn't require admin action, like a keep, merge or redirect. Let me know because if it's accepted behavior i could help close some of the AfD backlog.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 19:45, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I actually did my first closure today so I was thinking about helping to clear the backlog, but I wanted to make sure there wasn't a big bad line that gets crossed if you close one with a consensus for delete. However, after seeing the template you used to speedy tag the closures I think it will be okay as long as I haven't participated in the actual discussions I close.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 19:54, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I thought I had read that. Glad I didn't pick up the cause, but I'm still looking for keeps, merges and redirects.--Torchwood Who? (talk) 20:18, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A.WOLF AfD

You seem to have left the "result" part of your closing of this AfD incomplete. I didn't want to step on any toes and fill it in myself, especially since I was the nominator. Thought you might want to know. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 19:59, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That sure would be nice to put up there, wouldn't it? (oops, and thanks). --Auto ^{(talk / contribs)} 20:01, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Closures

Please do not close AFDs as delete as a non-admin. Please see WP:DPR#NAC. A non-admin should only be closing clear keep consensuses. The guideline specifically says that non-admins may not close discussions as delete. Please do not continue to close AFDs as delete. Thanks, Metros (talk) 20:13, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have reversed your closure at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sir Alastair Dunnett‎. Your closure does not meet the speedy keep standards and it also falls outside the purview of Wikipedia:Non-admin closure. Metros (talk) 00:26, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

RfA

Hey, just FYI, I left you a few questions at your RfA, take you time answering them. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 23:09, 12 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: James Light

Page has been re-created, [[1]] 24 hours after an AFD which decided it should be re-directed. What should I do? many thanks Porterjoh (talk) 14:24, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No idea how to do what you suggested - sorry! :( Porterjoh (talk) 19:45, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
