== Waupaca Streetcar system == |
|||
Please see my talk page. My newly created article on the street railway in Waupaca was deleted by an administrator and I would like a copy. Question? why is the posting to my page about the deletion done in the name of someone who was not responsable for the deletion? Why is the deleter anonymous? Who was the deleter? I appreciate that it was likely not you but having no other choice choose you at random from the referenced page of administrators. How do I get this page reinstated and immunised from instant deletion? I was about to embark on a series of articles about the streetcar systems in Wisconsin which are referenced in various lists but without their own pages. I will not bother if this is going to be the response I get.--[[User:Wickifrank|Wickifrank]] ([[User talk:Wickifrank|talk]]) 14:00, 11 December 2010 (UTC) |

:I have restored the draft to your userspace at [[User:Wickifrank/Waupaca Electric Light and Railway Company]]. The person who posted the message on your talk page was the person who requested deletion, which any editor can do. It was then subsequently deleted by an administrator, not, btw anonymously - if you click on the redlinked article title, you will see the deletion history of the article, including the fact that it was [[User:TomStar81|TomStar81]] who deleted the article. <font face="Lucida Calligraphy">[[User:LadyofShalott|<font color="#ee3399">Lady</font>]]<font color="#0095c6">of</font>[[User_Talk:LadyofShalott|<font color="#442288">Shalott</font>]]</font> 19:44, 11 December 2010 (UTC) |

::Thank you for the info. It appears that the requester was, at the least, disingenuous in claiming no responsability. I will follow up with the admin who deleted for reasoning.--[[User:Wickifrank|Wickifrank]] ([[User talk:Wickifrank|talk]]) 22:33, 11 December 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:::You are welcome. I looked again at what the other editor wrote on your talk page, and he did not "claim no responsibility" exactly. What he said is that he did not delete it (correct) and that the administrator must have "agreed" with the speedy deletion request (again correct). <font face="Lucida Calligraphy">[[User:LadyofShalott|<font color="#ee3399">Lady</font>]]<font color="#0095c6">of</font>[[User_Talk:LadyofShalott|<font color="#442288">Shalott</font>]]</font> 01:53, 12 December 2010 (UTC) |

Dear Lady: in regards to [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Khorkhog&diff=prev&oldid=401827486 this], please see [http://books.google.com/books?id=qlxDqB4ldx4C&printsec=frontcover&dq=huddleston&hl=en&ei=euwDTeLWG8T7lwfcr8XxCQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCcQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=infinitive&f=false this].

:Hmph, well that is certainly a different take on it than I was always taught in my English classes, where to [verb] was generally (I hesitate to say always) considered an infinitive, albeit one formed by two separate words. I have at times objected to and even deliberately flouted the rule of not splitting that form (whatever one chooses to call it) - "to not do something" seems to have a different emphasis than "not to do something". However, when it does not have an apparent effect on the meaning, as the diff of my edit above, I've tried to adhere to it. <font face="Lucida Calligraphy">[[User:LadyofShalott|<font color="#ee3399">Lady</font>]]<font color="#0095c6">of</font>[[User_Talk:LadyofShalott|<font color="#442288">Shalott</font>]]</font> 21:50, 11 December 2010 (UTC) |

::Your edit was to undo a contraction, which are frequently forbidden in formal writing. The infinitive, that's a difficult matter: our terminology comes from Latin, but our verbs act differently. The book I linked to speaks of "infinitival," which comes in two flavors, bare infinitival and to-infinitival. The rule you mention, that's purely style: there is nothing grammatical about it, as my students have learned this semester. My wife, that's a different matter--she hates it when I tell her that not everything she considers a grammatical rule is a grammatical rule. Toodles, [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 22:25, 11 December 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:::Undoing a contraction was only one of two things I changed in a single edit. I also moved the word sufficiently out of an infinitive-or-whatever-you-call-that-form ("to suffiently cook the meat" became "to cook the meat sufficiently"). So did you refer me to that intro text because you thought I was calling a contraction an infinitive? I'm off to hear a friend sing. Bye! <font face="Lucida Calligraphy">[[User:LadyofShalott|<font color="#ee3399">Lady</font>]]<font color="#0095c6">of</font>[[User_Talk:LadyofShalott|<font color="#442288">Shalott</font>]]</font> 22:29, 11 December 2010 (UTC) |

::::Aw, who cares, I was jes' messing with you over the word 'infinitive.' Have fun! We're baking cookies, and then I'm making chicken and dumplings. Yes, the south will rise again. [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 23:07, 11 December 2010 (UTC) |
|||
:::::OK, those dumplings rose a lot more than the south ever did. I need a new recipe, for dumplings that are more pasta-like. How did your grandma make hers? [[User:Drmies|Drmies]] ([[User talk:Drmies|talk]]) 04:45, 12 December 2010 (UTC) |
|||
::::::Oh my grandmother and mother were both wonderful cooks, but neither made this all that often. I can't remember how my mother made dumplings. I know some people use biscuits, but it doesn't sound like that's what you want.

:::Hush now, I was just coming to report that I'd just found that my library has a copy of ''Lugenia Burns Hope, Black Southern Reformer'' and that I'm going to get it tomorrow.

::::Don't hush me, librarian. I hope it's a fun read. BTW, I was surprised that so many of those books (in the Neighborhood article and the Rouse article) were published by [[UNC Press]]. We should have good coverage of those topics as well, but as you know I'm upper echelon, and so I don't leave my desk chair--only to get coffee. Happy reading!

:Well, I didn't state anything because I (apparently incorrectly) thought that it was obvious that it meant I didn't think the criterion was met.

:Hi, I'm glad you asked. The answer is basically because they are copyrighted. Wikipedia does not allow use of copyrighted material except for limited [[WP:fairuse|fair use]] situations.
