Deletion summaries

Hi, I have noticed that you often provide only a very short abbreviated deletion summary when you delete pages (like "a7" "nn-bio" and similar). Please keep in mind that most users do not know all of Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria by heart. Please consider providing a brief "plain English" explanation without relying exclusively on "CSD jargon". Additionally linking to the relevant criteria so people can read it in full can also be useful, for example [[WP:CSD#A7]]. This will help a "layperson" better understand why something was deleted when looking at the deletion log.

Most browsers have a autocomplete or other "form filling" features that allow pre-prepared boil plate texts to be inserted into web forms with just a few keystrokes. This is useful for inserting detailed deletion summaries without having to type out the same things over and over. Please consider looking into it. Thanks. -- Longhair\^talk 10:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Every little bit helps, and I've noticed less "hassle" in followup messages when the "kill command" is clear ;) Thanks. -- Longhair\^talk 10:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

If you want a free bit of advice, using wiki features only, try this... find an article (take a nn bio for example, there's plenty of them to experiment with :-), edit the article and add the required {{db-bio}} tag, then click preview, but don't save. In bold along the top of the template you have your deletion summary. It works for me ;) -- Longhair\^talk 10:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Squidward vandal you just blocked

Looks like a sock or imitator of Squidward vandal and therefore deserving of an indefblock instead of 24h. :) Syrthiss 20:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, looking at [1] this may just be an imitator. Squidward primarily used open proxy ips instead of usernames. Syrthiss 20:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Page

A page titled "Michael Malvasio" was recently deleted by you. I just wanted to take a screen shot of it, just to have, and then you can delete it again. Can you please put it up for 1 more day, so we can take a screen shot. That would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for any inconvience we have caused you. Thank you in advance for your response and help.

An External Link On Veronica Finn's Page

An IP user has added [2] as an external link to Veronica Finn. Although it is a link to a realestate site apparently run by Veronica Finn, is it considered a commercial link? The link actually helps verify some of the information in the article, so I'm wondering if the link is okay or not. Should it be removed? -WarthogDemon 04:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Speedy deletion tagging as nonsense and warning users

Thanks for the advice, but I disagree about those pages being nonsense articles. Although I dont speciffically recall the articles, obviously an administrator agrred that it met the speedy deletion criteria as the articles were deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EMT1871 (talk • contribs)

I Am Not Sure If I Am Being Reckless

But can you delete Kayla (Orca)? The article had been recently created, then had a db tag placed on it for already having an article at Kayla (whale). It was then changed into a redirect to the second page. I'm thinking it'd be best to have Kayla (whale) moved over there, for consistency's sake. We already have pages like that such as Keiko (Orca). -WarthogDemon 06:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I actually just now noticed that the correct page is Keiko (orca). That being said, is it alright if I just change it into a redirect to that page, and then move the Kayla (whale) page to Kayla (orca)? -WarthogDemon 06:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

You Deleted my South Texas Country Artist Page

I am the Drummer for the page you deleted J.R. Castillo and Unwound. I started this page today and you deleted it. I know it needed some work, infact. It is going to take a lot of work. I did leave his web page and myspace pages on the wikipage in case someone though it was a nonsense article. I would appreciate a little more time to complete a page!! I was getting the documentation I needed to fill out the rest of his music singles and albums. If you don't think that he was worth noting, you should have waited to see that his "Surviving Emily" song hit number 1 in Texas Country. I hope you can restore it, because setting up all the code for the tables, colors, etc. was a pain in the you know what. I did not save the notepad doc that I was working with, because it was on Wikipedia. Please put my 2 hours of hard work back up so I can finish it.

And next time you could message the person in the discussion thread and give it a couple of days before DELETING IT.Lancemurphy 07:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

User Subpage help

Yes I copied the table structure. The two hours of work was me floating around the different artists webpages to find a structure I liked. I thought the whole point of this wiki was to ultimately move towards a uniform structuring. All I asked for was my code that was ready for me to edit. I am sorry if I was heated, but you did just delete my work less than 12 hours after I created it. Please send me the code and I will build the subpage first. I had no idead you could build the subpage first. Thanks Lancemurphy 22:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Dear Gogo Dodo I am aspiring to become an administrator on Wikipedia, and I would like to know, from someone who already is an admin, whether I now meet the requirements and have enough standing here on Wikipedia to make a successful bid.

External link opinion

In Business card there is a lot of adding and removal of external link spam. I recently removed http://www.ibccsite.com/ - which admittedly is not as spammy as some of what gets added, and it appears other editors have left it there.

Commanche CPH / anon account

Hi Gogo Dodo

Thanks for your involvement. I've also posted a little note about this one to User:Lar due to the previous edits of this user. If you look at history of Normans the IP obviously knows both me and User:Inge from before and accuses us of POV-pushing. Given this and the IP's previous edits to Commanche's talk pages, it looks very much like Commanche CPH has returned. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 08:33, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

I hadn't noticed the IP's vandalism to my user page today, but he also messed around with it yesterday. It's Commanche alright. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 08:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Well now my page was targeted as well. Hopefully this can be dealt with swiftly.Inge 12:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Well, we can add trolling to the list as well [7]. Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 21:57, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem at all. I only posted this one here since I'd missed that you'd deferred this one to Lar. Sorry. I've posted a little note on Lar's page about my posts here. Oh and btw, since Comanche's IP also vandalized Inge's user page and subsequently removed a level 3 warning, I've taken the liberty of giving him a level 4. I guess being blocked the first 10 times didn't make him more cooperative (sigh). Valentinian ^{(talk) / (contribs)} 22:34, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

"Fisherman's Choice"

Hi a month ago you deleted the article about abortion titled "Fisherman's Choice" I am infact the author, under a new name Lordtortvillethegreat, formerly known as Lordtortville, but due to a messy run in with some of your administrators, I unfourtunately lost my posting privilages. I realise now that this article doesn't belong on Wikipedia, but have found a proper home on "Uncyclodpedia" Wikipedia's humorous counterpart. I, regretfully, forgot to save the original manuscript, so I fear it may be lost forever because of your deletion. I ask you then, is there a way that one might be able to recover the original text?

Orphaned fair use image (Image:Dirtydvd a1xl.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Dirtydvd a1xl.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable under fair use (see our fair use policy).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Thea

(Copied from User:smmurphy/talk)

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. The fact that it was taken from another source shows that the author was likely close to Thea, and very possibly the same author as the pdf I linked to. Its not a copyright violation if the author releases it, and putting the article up for deletion seems to me to smack of wp:bite. The speedy tag was for non-notability, thus the question of copyright had not been raised or addressed (it wouldn't have been hard to reqrite the article based on the material provided, had that been the issue). Smmurphy^(Talk) 07:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: TINKLECOMM WIRELESS REPLY

Be that as it may, I went to attend to other work. I do not like that policy that you have here at wikipedia. You really need to look into that because its not fair "And Im sure I am not the only one who feels that way" I mean look at it in my shoes, how would you feel if someone deleted a article you didnt even get to start yet! Now you have to start over again and you have to feel RUSHED or else it will get deleted. Come on, its comon courtisty

Redlands High School

You reverted the change I made to the clubs at Redlands High School. I know Wikipedia has a policy of no original research, but I also know that the club is called "Young Philosophes" instead of "Young Philosophers" becuse I am currently involved in this club. If you want, you can check out the Redlands High School website http://rhs.redlandsusd.net/ . The Daily Bulletin under "General Information" will probably have an announcement regarding Young Philosophes every other Monday. I'm sort of new to the editing process though, so if I screwed up any pointers would be appreciated. --71.103.239.106 02:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that. It seemed an odd change at the time. I checked the website and see that it's listed as "Young Philisophe Society" -- Gogo Dodo 02:08, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

It's okay. I actually thought I would end up getting a warning for vandalism because it's a weird change.--71.103.223.14 00:21, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

I normally wouldn't issue a warning for a change like that and certainly not one for vandalism (a "test" warning at maybe, but only if it was done over and over or along with something else). Having an edit summary like you did with your second edit helps. Have you considered creating an account? -- Gogo Dodo 04:15, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Cortland, Ohio

You revised some of the information that shouldn't of been revised. The information about the city being created shouldn't of been revised because it is a fact. I do know that some of it is useless but some of it is not in the trivia section. I think other people should know some of the trivia about the city. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 76.2.93.76 (talk) 21:09, 25 February 2007 (UTC).

Well saying that you don't live in Cortland, Ohio, how do you know it is verfiable and notable. The Cortland Police does pull over cars that are out past curfew, McQuaid's selling beer is notable and verfiable because Cortland, Ohio was a dry town, and McQuaid's is the only place that sells alcohol in Cortland, Ohio. Everyone that goes to the Cortland Speedway can verify and note that Cortland Police does hang out there. The hill that everyone sleds on at Mosquito Lake is very notable because people do get caught and we advise against it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Thorisgod (talk • contribs)

Stimulus (band)

You recently deleted this page because it did not display any notability. I am not saying your wrong, I'm just not quite sure exactly what would qualify as notable. They are a local band, but they are well known throughout the community, and are one of the most popular bands from the community. They have had concerts, but so far as I have known have not published and full albums. I didn't want to just remake the page because your probably right that they shouldn't have a page here, but I wasn't completely sure, so theres the full details; I just wanted to see if you still think they're not notable enough. -- Soldier9599 20:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Inappropriate Graphic

Your web site graphic of the purple heart "barnstar" is inappropriate and offensive to members of the United States Armed Services who suffered injuries to be awarded the medal. Reducing the purple heart to something awarded to wikipedians involved in anti-vandalism efforts seems disingenuous and is in bad taste. Please consider what message you are trying to send by posting this item on your user page, and whether it reflects poorly on the wikipedia community. Best wishes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.162.176.102 (talk • contribs)

Character Notability Issue

Someone went and deleted the section of video game characters in: List of Cars characters. As it is a rather big section, I felt it should not be deleted before discussion first. So I went ahead and placed a Unencyclopedic tag on that section and brought up what's happening on the talk page.

John Green (author)

Howdy! Noticed you deleted this as a G7. I'm not contesting the validity of it, but I was curious as to whether I could get you to undelete the history for me so I can work with it more. I made a link to his book, An Abundance of Katherines, before, and I think it was a valid stub at the time, so I'd like to be able to use that rather than have to start fresh. Can I get your help on this? Thanks. --badlydrawnjeff talk 17:10, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Done. I restored the stub, but didn't restore you tagging it for deletion. I figured you didn't need that. ;) I also added {{inuse}} for you until you return to edit. -- Gogo Dodo 03:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. Now I'm confused - who tagged it as a G7? I thought I had been the one to create this stub, and it appears I was, so now I don't know how it got tagged. --badlydrawnjeff talk 12:04, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Umm... you did. You were the original author and G7 is only valid for the original author. You blanked the article two minutes after you created it with {{db|author}} and an edit summary "aw, hell", then corrected the CSD tag a moment later to {{db-author}}. -- Gogo Dodo 16:22, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
