Deletion of Brisbane Square Image

I don't know why the image of the Brisbane Square ( 850_385_DCM_Brisbane_Square.jpg ) is being deleted. The image was captured specifically for promotional material by Denton Corker Marshall, and is being represented as a creation of their works. I work for DCM ( User:Asperks ) and this image is regularly used in any architectural journal as a representation of their works. I have the entire folder of promotional images for web-sites sitting right in front of me, including the plans, elevations, sections, details, conceptual renderings and brief. This image is from that folder.

Sick of the link to the DCM wiki site. I've read through this list of discussion points. It certainly made clear some of the long-term issues with wikipedia, and how it's administered. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.108.117.164 (talk • contribs) 05:17, 9 January 2008

User:Dark Heretic/Dark Heresy (band)

Hello again J Milburn. When you have a moment, please do check out my article and, if you think it will do, please move it to the article space for me. There is more I intend to add with time, but I need to find all the necessary references. However it should be publishable already, I hope. I mainly used the article about Slayer to learn how to edit articles and then I checked my article against every article in the category British death metal musical groups. I think/hope it's better than most of them. If there's something I haven't done right, please let me know. Thanks. Dark Heretic (talk) 00:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Dark Heresy

Thanks for al your help. A quick question about disambiguation - I assume someone out there will enter an article abot Dark heresy the role-playing game any day now, that's why I had the disambiguation text in there. Should I do anything about this or leave it as it is? (I'm no expert on the RPG so will not be writing that article, though of course I could start a stub if necessary.)

Austin Symphonic Band

Dear J:

A while back, for some reason, you decided to get your jollies by deleting an article about the Austin (Texas) Symphonic Band. Your rationale for deleting the entry was "[a]rticle about a non-notable individual, band, service, website or other entity." Please refrain from deleting Wikipedia articles when you have no grasp of the subject matter. The group in question has been recognized as one of the best community bands in the country by the John Philip Sousa Foundation, which awarded the group its "Sudler Silver Scroll." It has now performed by invitation three times at the Midwest International Band and Orchestra Clinic in Chicago, Illinois, and has performed by invitation numerous times for both the Texas Bandmasters Association and the Texas Music Educators Association. Among community bands these are certainly "notable" accomplishments.

Maybe you don't like community bands, maybe you don't have a clue about them, but deleting wikipedia articles is pretty stupid to begin with. Mind your own damned business next time. 15.235.153.107 (talk) 14:38, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

In case the IP is shared and you do not catch my reply, please see your IP's talk page. J Milburn (talk) 14:55, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Image Copyright Tag

Was not sure what type of copyright tag or what information was needed for the four images I put up on the Mindless Self Indulgence page. The four pictures were taken by me at two different concerts in the NY area. Not sure exactly what I should put or how to put it there. If you could get back to me when you can with some info I'd appreciate it. Tokelazor (talk) 21:53, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, I believe I took care of the problem in its entirety, please let me know if there is more i need to do. Tokelazor (talk) 14:52, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Wait, i just re-read your message, is that the full email? could she have sent the permit to OTRS already? Email her and ask her if she did, or i'll contact an OTRS volunteer and ask at IRC. --Yamanbaiia^{(free hugs!)} 19:14, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Indian Creek Covered Bridge

Hi, I tagged it that way because to me it looked like that bridge does not exist in reality or that it is some sort of bridge build by two kids across a small creek (you know the ones kids build out of wood over a local small creek...something like that). Well, I just did a google search after I received your message...I have to admit that I was completely wrong...I stand corrected. Next time I use google search before tagging. :-/ Regards LightAnkhC|MSG 16:31, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Deleting the Skinning.net page

I appreciate you doing what you do but you deleted a page that DID hold some 'notable refference' while stating it did not. Skinning.net is one of the oldest skinning community sites on the internet. Your deletetion was uncalled for and you offered no 'advice', even after it was asked for, in order to keep the page on the site. You also deleted an image that was clearly stated who holds the copyrights for the 'possibility of copyright infringement'. I hold the copyrights to it, I am the artist. If your going to do a job then at least do it with some respect to those you are affecting. —Preceding unsigned comment added by SKoriginals (talk • contribs) 19:15, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Wikit

FYI, I wasn't trying to double up on the deletion. At the time I loaded the Wikit page, there was no tag on it. I investigated it, came to what appears to be the same conclusion you did, and then tagged it for deletion with Twinkle. Twinkle will normally stop if it sees another AfD or CSD tag on the page, but I've noticed that it seems to ignore {{prod}} tags for some reason. Either that or we just added them at nearly the exact same time. Gromlakh (talk) 17:34, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Not a problem. Keep up the good work! Gromlakh (talk) 17:39, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD:Wikit

This is from the ex-author of the recently deleted Wikit page, Ax3l lX (talk) 20:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC). In the case of failing memory, Wikit is a Wikipedia based game that relies on the use of links to come to a desired article in a specific number of turns. I completely understand your approach to its deletion, it would appear, as J Milburn noted, to be "a non notable game made up in school one day;" however, I feel that the game does have a viable foothold in American high school and college circles. It is understood that I took the wrong approach to posting it, especially in the claim of when and where it was invented (at the time I was perhaps, as Uncle G noted, 'Yet another group of schoolchildren [that] have thought that they invented this game and have come to Wikipedia to write up their claim to fame.') It is completely true that I did not invent the game, nor as Metropolitan90 showed, do I have even the smallest claim to that title.

However, I feel as if the page maintained by Metropolitan90 is in itself proof of the game's widespread acceptance and use. Perhaps in its current state, Wikit is missing a key component for indoctrination as a true game, but it must be shown that Soccer was not always "the most popular sport in the world", nor has Baseball always been "known as America's pastime." A game comes from the bottom and works its way to the top. Furthermore, Uncle G noted that Google search returned no results; however, this is not entirely true. There are numerous hits under "wikipedia game" from various wikipedia enthusiasts who play the nameless game with their friends. These include many blogs and forums were players post topics and then compete against numerous adversaries across the country, and indeed, the whole world. This link might explain it better: http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?t=108654 .

I completely understand your angle, and actually, i completely agree with the deletion of my article. It was biased, and a selfish act. However, I am not writing this post to complain, nor actually, to even dispute the deletion. I feel as if Wikit, or however the game should be named, is worthy of an article on Wikipedia. I feel as if Metropolitan90's list of 20+ previous Wikit articles and the various worldwide blogs associated to the continuation of the game, defends its right to a single page which would link the whole community of players together. And now I come to my point.

As the two main contenders to its existence, Uncle G and J Milburn, I come not to dispute your claim, but rather, to ask for your help. The unnamed game requires a place where players from all over can come together; users should be able to examine other players methods and techniques, post house variations, and collectively decide on a name for the game. What better place for this than the very core of the game itself? In this quest I realize that I need some experienced help; being that you two found my article and posted it for deletion astonishingly quickly, I was hoping that either of you, or both, could direct me on a path that would render the article undeletable, due to its validity and correctness. There has to be a way to insure the article's survival, so that current and future gamers will be able to band together under their comman pastime.

If, however, you see my plight as a ridiculous waste of time, I thank you for yours. otherwise, I will await your consensus. Thank you both! Ax3l lX (talk) 20:02, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

Reverting your edit was an accident.
