Fearganainm listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect Fearganainm. Since you had some involvement with the Fearganainm redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion (if you have not already done so). RashersTierney (talk) 03:08, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I've withdrawn the above nomination. Should have discussed it here first anyway. Best. RashersTierney (talk) 03:26, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Great to see you around.

Always good to see one of the good guys come back after a break. :-) Spartaz ^Humbug! 04:40, 26 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

AfD closure 1/31/2013

Hiya; You closed an AfD that was being tossed around for a while now on "Che Arthur". Not that it's world ending, but there were some questions on the material, and there is an open WP:SPI on the contributions. Could you consider returning it to the world of AfD debate while we continue looking at the possible issues with potential sockpuppets? Of note, the majority of the potential socks were hailing from what appears as Ireland, so maybe someone else may want to peek at the material as well. Thank you for all you do! :) Яεñ99 (talk) 00:06, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hiya! Got it worked out talking to Someguy1221. Take care :) Яεñ99 (talk) 02:58, 1 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Message

Edwin Hale (talk) 21:43, 2 February 2013 (UTC) I hope I am following the etiquette properly. Thanks for the comment on my entry on "Joachim von Blumenthal". It is mostly a translation of an entry in German Wikipedia on the same guy, the entry is called "Joachim Christian von Blumenthal".[reply]

This guy was basicly Prussia's finance and War minister at the time the Napoleonic Wars broke out and is thus a very important personage.

That's fine, but please can you edit it to translate the remaining German words such as "am" and "und" into English, and use the date style 2 October 1749 rather than 2. Oktober 1749. Stifle (talk) 21:46, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Message in response to Speedy Deletion Nomination

Hello User:Stifle, Before I could talk to you or make any changes to the page Kavita Kosh, it got deleted. I understand that I may have missed mentioning why the page was important. I am a bit less experienced Wikipedian. But, I can assure you that it is an important topic and deserves to be a part of the Wikipedia. And, I really want to improve the article. However, as the article is deleted now, what do I do? Should I rewrite the article again? OR there is a way to recover the deleted page? Thanks a lot. Kanungoparth (talk) 05:42, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Kavita Kosh was deleted under criterion 7 (under Articles) of our criteria for speedy deletion because it appeared to be an article about a website which didn't indicate why it was important or significant. Please see WP:WEB for details of what might show notability. If you think that these criteria are met, please explain which one, provide citations from reliable sources to back up your claim, and details of why these were not added earlier, and I will consider undeleting it. Alternatively, I can userfy it so that you can improve it in your own time before moving it back to the main article namespace when it is fully ready.

You may alternatively file a deletion review request. Stifle (talk) 13:36, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

RE: National team appearances in the UEFA Women's Championship

I didn't remove the {{prod}} tag, (since I make it a rule to leave it up to the concern-raiser if they feel the issue has been addressed,) but I did hide it and stated my object for deletion in the edit summary. Just thought I'd notify you. CyMoahk (talk) 21:28, 3 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of List of Australian & Englad Test matches

Some one actually removed the deletion tag from Australian test match list page.

Any ways If we have list of players, captains etc. I dont see a reason why we cann't have Match List. If you look at the List of Indian Test matches all the results are directed towards the respective series page.

I am not aware of the inclusion criteria you had mentioned. So I have nothing to comment.

Maihudon (talk) 18:08, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for letting me know. You can find information at WP:INDISCRIMINATE about inclusion criteria. Stifle (talk) 19:15, 5 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

Please refer to Spain national football team results / 2000–2009 which similar to list of test matches for test nations in cricket.

Maihudon (talk) 11:18, 23 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You are welcome to nominate articles for deletion if you feel they are inappropriate. Stifle (talk) 11:31, 26 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

People trying to screw with my sandbox

Hello, well here's the deal, some of my friends are trying to screw with my sandbox and it really ticks me off. I was wondering if it was possible that only me or wikipedia accounts and users could edit my sandbox, not random anonymous and ip addresses not logged in as users? Here's the page, I already re-edited back to the original content, cheers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Freezes/sandbox Freezes (talk) 02:23, 11 February 2013 (GMT-5) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 181.129.230.224 (talk)

If the page were still User:Freezes/sandbox, it would be allowable, but you can't do that for the article at Futtizes as it has been moved out of the sandbox. Stifle (talk) 19:36, 11 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Whitelist approval

Greetings, Stifle. You placed a note on my whitelist request that it is "eligible for approval". Is there something I can or must do to expedite the process? Or should I simply wait patiently while others do what they do? Kind regards, --@Efrat (talk) 08:22, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You need to find an admin who can write your URL as a regular expression, or wait until one shows up. Unfortunately, as you have seen, the process is glacial. Stifle (talk) 14:21, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

		The Admin's Barnstar
		Thanks for clearing the backlog of whitelist approvals. Job well done! @Efrat (talk) 07:10, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I wish a few more people were able to do it! Stifle (talk) 14:33, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Thank you for considering the request (regardless of outcome) and then for the outcome. Honest, I'm not getting any click through money. ;-) Actually maybe better if you had rejected it. Since I edit Wiki for free and it is a distraction versus pursuing career. You all get more free work out of me. :-( -TCO 69.255.27.249 (talk) 18:38, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi There

Hi, can you please restore Mangsuk page as I am going to edit it to make it look good. It is the god of Lohorung. BTW, thanks for stopping by. Ashishlohorung (talk) 05:35, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Articles deleted by articles for deletion process cannot be restored otherwise than by deletion review. Would you like me to userfy it instead? Stifle (talk) 19:19, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requesting mediation on the subject of User:Launchballer's signature.

Requesting mediation on the subject of User:Launchballer's signature. I see you've had discussions with this user before, and since the user informed me that he had previous issues and my issue was never brought up then, I have decided to research this. I've so far found you have had issues there before, and would like you to help mediate this to make sure the user understands there is no "grandfathering" as it were of signatures. You may find the current discussion here. Thank you. — User:Technical 13 ( C • M • Click to learn how to view this signature as intended ) 16:08, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't wish to get involved regard disputes with other users. Please refer to WP:RFC or WP:AN. Stifle (talk) 19:22, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
