AfD nomination of Edith Macefield

I have nominated Edith Macefield, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Edith Macefield. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Madcoverboy (talk) 20:12, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Willie McGee

Do you really think Willie McGee (convict) is as likely a search target as the baseball player? I'd need to see some evidence of that. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:49, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Ordinarily I wouldn't make a fuss but this baseball player was quite well-known. He was a key component in four World Series, played in four All-Star Games, won a Most Valuable Player Award, a Rookie of the Year Award, three Gold Glove Awards and two batting titles. He was a baseball fixture in the 1980s. —Wknight94 (talk) 22:45, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did to Christopher Dodd presidential campaign, 2008. Your edits appeared to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. --Wiendietry (talk) 16:34, 27 June 2008 (UTC) You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war.

Risking a block? Give me a break. -- Ned Scott 05:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Yes, he is risking a block. Reverting once a day is not a right. Kendrick, you're not the United Nations. Let the community sort this out. If the indefinite block is removed, the log will be removed. If it is endorsed then it will be kept. If you keep reverting then it will show your contributions to the project are based on POV rather than content. I hope it doesn't come to that. Find something constructive to do. John Smith's (talk) 08:46, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

This is your last warning.

Little Belt

Sorry for the late reply, I've only just got back after a period away. The only thing about the Little Belt once you'd created the article was that it didn't qualify for a DYK, so I expanded it. It wasn't my intention to cut you out, it just didn't cross my mind to do a dual nomination, I don't think I've ever really done anything other than self nominations, so I wasn't sure what the criteria were. Hope you don't bear any ill will, and please feel more than free to continue writing ship stubs! Benea (talk) 17:27, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

lightbot

Please note that trivial linking is strongly discouraged on WP. Date autoformatting is no longer encouraged. There are very good reasons for this. TONY (talk) 04:37, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, here we're going to have to disagree, I fear, but I'm nevertheless keen to persuade you that linking single years went out of favour some time ago at WP. It's fine for any user to key a year into the search box (four taps: tap tap tap tap, easy) to save the disadvantages of:

• link clutter (not to be taken lightly, as it contributes to reducing readability and the visual quality of the page)
• the dilution of high-value links
• issues with "easter-egg" links.

I appreciate that people who've invested time in writing year pages want high "what links here" counts, but that's not a priority for the project—certainly not since a more disciplined approach to linking has evolved over the past couple of years. I'm interested to hear your argument that saving three keystrokes for the rare person among our readers at large (not you, but visitors) who wants to browse off-topic is worth the bright-blue-splotching of every year. This would be a hard argument to mount, and harder to win, I feel. TONY (talk) 04:34, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Advice

It won't be placed by me, but if you keep battling at Wikipedia:List of banned users you may get a long block. See my comment. [4] I hope you will see the benefit in walking away from this now. If Giovanni doesn't sock, there is a chance he can return here after one year. Your battling now won't change anything, but it may create a bad memory for people which could make it harder to get him unbanned. Jehochman ^Talk 12:49, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Allegations of apartheid deletion notification

Some time ago, you participated in a deletion discussion concerning Allegations of Israeli apartheid. I thought you might like to know that the parent article, Allegations of apartheid, was recently nominated for deletion. Given that many of the issues that have been raised are essentially the same as those on the article on which you commented earlier, you may have a view on whether Allegations of apartheid should be kept or deleted. If you wish to contribute to the discussion, please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Allegations of apartheid (fifth nomination). -- ChrisO (talk) 18:11, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Duty, Honor, Country

A tag has been placed on Duty, Honor, Country, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ——Mr. E.

Thanks for uploading Image:Palestine peace not apartheid.jpg. You've indicated that the image is being used under a claim of fair use, but you have not provided an adequate explanation for why it meets Wikipedia's requirements for such images. In particular, for each page the image is used on, the image must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Can you please check

• That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for each article the image is used in.
• That every article it is used on is linked to from its description page.

Re: Proposed bailout of United States financial system

You will find that the bill the Senate votes on is an amendment to a bill that House has passed along to the Senate. I suggest you get a cite that this is actually a new bill, and remove your text until you've confirmed your addition is relevant. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 16:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

A lot of bills get new numbers, by being thrown onto some other bill by amendment by substitution. The Library of Congress THOMAS is the definitive record for bill history, Perhaps the genetic bill had that happen to it too. -- Yellowdesk (talk) 17:28, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

You will not override consenus at WP:Manual of style (dates and numbers)

Barney Frank

Nice add on Frank's defense of his housing policy positions. I'm always pleased when peeps add good sourced information for their own case, rather than deleting the information they don't like that's already there. (Wallamoose (talk) 21:18, 10 October 2008 (UTC))

U.S. Treasury as a source

• I actually like the liquidity injection/equity plan, though, which, aside from making way more sense than the "troubled assets" plan, shows how prescient I was about where this was going.[6] -- Kendrick7^talk 02:19, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

• Except that Paulson was against equity until the last week or so, and his original plan did not contemplate equity. Not to mention that he and his associates realized too late the gigantic mistake made in not supporting Lehmen Brothers: only after rescuing of AIG with the credit facility, (and 80% equity /warrant stake via the Federal Reserve Bank) and the complete drying up of the commercial paper markets after many institutions and money markets lost money on overnight commercial paper. Paulson, a conservative on several different dimensions, has been moved by events, terror, and Bernanke, the scholar of the Depression, not by his own views. Witness the outrageous and dead on arrival "unreviewable by courts" clause in his original proposal.

Ashley Todd

FYI, you may be interested to see that Ashley Todd was speedily deleted using CSD:G10 as the justification: "exists primarily to disparage its subject." I happen to disagree with this decision as the article was neutral and nothing on the AfD page implied it as an "attack" page, and content that this is out of process. I encourage you to chime in if you have an opinion either way at User_talk:Orderinchaos#Out_of_order_deletion_of_Ashley_Todd. Thanks. -- Fuzheado | Talk 21:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Your actions on Brandt

No, I'm requesting that you look before you leap. There was a huge to-do about adding that name int he past, a person who will not ever have an article about him again in WP before. So before you get consensus for adding that information, I really suggest you seek, and get consensus. SirFozzie (talk) 14:11, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

In view of the consensus to ignore all that stuff about notability derived from reliable sources, do you have anything additional to add? No sense in tipping your hand before doing anything big of course. -- Nevard 22:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

What exactly does that mean, John Nevard? If we don't currently, and are not likely to ever again, have an article on some topic, it's not needed on a disambiguation page. Edit warring about it is not likely to be well received either. ++Lar: t/c 12:00, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Claiming that there will "not ever" be an article on somebody (like SirFozzie did above) doesn't do much to convince me... people were also loudly proclaiming that there'd never be an article on Encyclopedia Dramatica or Wikipedia Review, but there they are. Out in the real world (some of us go there occasionally), remember the old Southern politicians who proclaimed "Segregation Forever!" just a couple of years before Jim Crow collapsed? The modern-day politicians who scream that there will never be gay marriage in their state are probably just as wrong. Proclaiming that anything will never, ever happen is more chest-pounding than reality. Your "not likely to ever again" is milder, and hence more factually accurate. *Dan T.* (talk) 13:16, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of Atomic bombings of Japan as a form of state terrorism

Hey, sorry to see Atomic bombings of Japan as a form of state terrorism being redirected. I hope all of the content you provided in the terrorism article will be used in the new article. At least everyone has a clear record of the page history, which wouldn't have been available otherwise. I guess we need to keep in mind that the real intent of splitting articles means taking the section away from a popular page with a lot of advocates, leading it down a dark hallway, and then killing it. It is no surprise who the nominator was, the same editor who opposes the existence of the terrorism page too. travb (talk) 08:54, 7 January 2009 (UTC)

I just noticed that. The content that was worked on and expanded on that article should now be put back (perhaps in a shortened version), to the main US Terrorism article. Currently there is only a sentence. I take it someone has access to all that content from the now deleted spin-off article to work with back to the main US terrorism article?76.14.42.200 (talk) 10:29, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Copyright violation in Stranger Originated Life Insurance

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Stranger Originated Life Insurance, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Stranger Originated Life Insurance is unquestionably copyright infringement, and no assertion of permission has been made.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Stranger Originated Life Insurance, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Adding year links

Hi Kendrick. I'm sure you're aware of this. I wonder if you could hold off on adding multiple year links until this matter is decided by arbcom? Thanks, --John (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Well, the injunction says "dates" not "years." I'm only fixing articles linked from WP:MAIN or a link away from an article linked on Main or or one that will be within the next 48 hours. It's hardly "en mass." -- Kendrick7^talk 20:09, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

I might have gotten a little carried away. I was just going to do historical articles on the main page, but thought I might as well do articles linked to from 11 February. Then I did the 12th and the 13th.... I'm done for now anyway. -- Kendrick7^talk 22:29, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

No worries. --John (talk) 22:36, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi Kendrick7, I'm a fan of date autoformatting/autolinking too, but please refrain from making any edits to dates, while the ArbCom case is ongoing (or more properly, while the associated injunction is in place.) It's only fair, if we expect other people to abide by the injunction as well. Cheers, --Sapphic (talk) 17:58, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration/Date delinking

Hi Kendrick7, I am going to be honest here. I have been asked to look into your recent date linking at AE as a matter of fairness. You do appear to have violated the injunction (at least, from my interpretation of it). The one edit that did leave me wondering though was this simply because of the edit summary. Do years count as dates? Being that I considered them dates when I blocked Colonies Chris I must apply the same standards to you, and if they are not dates then what are they? That said, I think it could use some clarification on the part of ArbCom.

As for your actions, like I said above I feel you have violated the injunction. Because I was slow to respond to peoples concerns, and was not made aware of this until you had stopped linking dates a block would be viewed as purely punitive here, and as such I ask that you consider this a stern warning. Had I come across your edits while you were making them, you would have been blocked. So please, for the sake of calm stop linking dates until the Arbitration case is over. Thanks, Tiptoety ^talk 23:41, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
