Hi. Just wanted to say thanks for your help improving the Anne Godwin page. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 10:34, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Godwin is OK for now. There was no paucity of info. But I'd appreciate any info. you could get on Maud Burnett that isn't already on her page. I couldn't come up with too much on her. Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 10:46, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks again. I have never submitted a DYK, but whatever you think is appropriate. I'll start looking it up (WP:DYK, I guess). Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 11:08, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Re: Anne Wexler. I was not being disingenuous or dishonest when I told you I had never done a DYK. As far as the Wexler DYK goes, all I know is that I had made an update following her death before the article was DYKed and I was included in the notification process. I never submitted or nominated the Wexler article, and was a little surprised at being notified at all. Yours, Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 12:55, 5 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Crazyjikn[edit]

Fair enough. Do you think it would have been better if I just CSD all of his articles and just ignored him? He would get frustrated (as I assume he thinks he is helping Wikipedia) and then would get angry and not want to contribute. The major reason I actually wrote him a message was due to him creating a number of articles (and not just one or two) and my hope was that he would stop and perhaps take a quick glance to those pages. I meant no harm.Calaka (talk) 14:13, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK I am sorry. I did not intend my message to be rude and I still have trouble seeing it as such (I will remove it and leave it up to someone else to write out a little note for him if they wish) and instead of telling him to stop creating articles and read, I will post the welcome message up and leave it up to him to decide whether he wants to read it or not. Furthermore if he should not read the links provided by the welcome message, then me even posting a welcome message seems a bit redundant (with those links present that is).
Anyway point being if my NON-bot messages appear rude (when I honest to god meant well) I will refrain from doing so in the future. I guess many of the newbies will think the bot welcome message will be something I wrote out anyway so it will do. I am again sorry. Cheers.Calaka (talk) 15:01, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Well I am sure you are aware that tone is completely random when there are no physical cues (aka on the internet and you surely heard the study that a large proportion of what is written on email has its tone misinterpreted) like smiley faces and what not, so again I meant well and did in no way meant to appear like a bully.
Re:Bds69. Oh ok. So when he calls me a douche it doesn't matter, I shouldn't take it personal? Just because I have been here long enough. Or maybe because you know I won't be leaving when someone says something mean to me over the internet? Would your have thought differently if I was to get offended and simply leave? Can I wait 6 months and if he is still around get to call him a douche because he is not a newbie anymore? Frankly, I care very little about people that decide to insult me on the net, and I am not going to prance around all nice to them and take it (and in the end, isn’t he putting references on Wikipedia... which was the point of the discussion? Would he have been adding them if I didn't talk to him?). But fine. You win. I am not going to argue with you since you are right after all.
Re: what to do with Wikipedia. Well no matter what you said (I am not offended in the end even though it might appear that way hehe) I still want to help Wikipedia. But I will refrain from making any written negative comments (speedy and bot written warnings are still OK hey!). I will make bot replies and welcome messages and only bother to write a personal message only to new users that are doing a good job. I will leave all the other newbies that need help up to the polite individuals here (which thankfully is the majority right?).
Happy editing.Calaka (talk) 03:00, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well done[edit]

Imhotep[edit]

Imhotep is the title character of at least three separate well-known films, and one of the most iconic characters of the horror genre. Surely that counts as notable by Wikipedia standards?

You might wait at least a few minutes to see what a fellow editor is doing before you attempt to erase it. Nareek (talk) 16:06, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Imhotep certainly meets formal Wikipedia criteria for notability. There is an extensive literature on 1930s horror cinema, which discusses the character of Imhotep at length. And, no, I don't have this literature in my living room.

Do a "What links here" for Imhotep (film). Those are links that formerly went to Imhotep, a page that doesn't mention the film character, and so were wrongly directed. If you make Imhotep (film) a redirect to The Mummy (1932 film), then the references to the character that relate primarily to the 1999 film will be misplaced--and the same thing will happen if you make it a redirect to the 1999 film. It's a character that is repeatedly referred to in Wikipedia articles, and it appears in multiple notable works--that's why it would be helpful for it to have its own article. Nareek (talk) 16:41, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We should all try to be pleasant when dealing with our fellow editors; if you think about for a moment, you might see why remarks like "again, missing the point" are not helpful.

Especially when I did address exactly that point: Imhotep (film) does meet the formal Wikipedia criteria for notability. The character has "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Do a Google Books search for "Imhotep horror," and you'll find numerous works where the character is addressed. He's one of the key icons of the horror film, along with Frankenstein's monster and Count Dracula--both of whom have their own articles independent of the fictional works they first appeared in. As does Kharis, a lesser-known embodiment of the Mummy archetype. Nareek (talk) 16:58, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There appears to be an error in both this article itself and in the main-page summary of it today. See my comments on the article's talk page and in the error reports for the main page. Neutron (talk) 19:30, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

He created it by copy/pasting the first line of Bleach: Memories of Nobody. After it was tagged then redirected, he recreated it at Senna (Bleach) with more copy/pasting from the film article. He also made Blanks (Bleach) and is ignoring the notes on his talk page. How many times will he be allowed to recreate it? -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 20:37, 6 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Removed speedy deletion tag: Jon Willis[edit]

Hi Ironholds! Firstly, thanks for helping out in CSD areas. I just wanted to inform you that I removed the speedy deletion tag you placed on Jon Willis- because: Winning the British nationals twice would be a claim to notability. Also, this person has an article in the independent. Possible hoax.. I'm currently looking around for sources. But not a suitable A7. If you have any questions or other message, please contact me.

A7 notice[edit]

Hi there,

I would like some clarification on what the actual requirements of A7 are. They seem to be very vague. A lot of pages seem to apply to this rule. [Peoples Archive], [Cheek by Jowl], etc. How do they differ? Reading them, they do not seem to cite why they should be in wikipedia.

Theatre Delicatessen have put on the first showing of a couple of plays in London, along with the only revival of David Hare's Fanshen. In theatre, that's a big deal.

Some more information so I can improve the article would be most appreciated.

Thanks,

Paul. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keteracel (talkcontribs) 16:13, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Would you considering userfying the article which you put up for deletion? The will delete it from main space completely and move it to a subpage of the creators.

The editor is a new editor, (this is his very first edit) userfying will give the new user a chance to rework this article and maybe wikipedia will get a long term dedicated editor

Please let me know as soon as possible, because as soon as someone else comments on the AfD, they must agree also before I can userfy the article. Thanks for your time.Ikip (talk) 02:18, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Moved from user: ikip
I'm not an admin, so the whole "deleting" part is going to be a fail. Userfying is for articles which have a chance of being useable if worked upon - this isn't one of those articles. Ironholds (talk) 02:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Actually if anyone moves an article to a user page, and then types {{db-rediruser}} the redirect will be deleted quickly. This article does not appear notable at all. That said, it is the users one and only edit, and so I was hoping to give them a chance. Thanks for your response though. Good luck. Ikip (talk) 02:24, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RE: Floodwood Mountain Reservation would you consider userfying this article? Again, the editor is a new editor, whose first edits were Floodwood Mountain Reservation. I looked for sources, and there are none, so it should not be on wikipedia.

You could always watch this userfied page, and in a couple of months speedy delete it, or I can, if you wish. The worst that will happen is the new editor leaves, and the article languishes. But maybe in those two months, the editor will continue to edit wikipedia and become a strong and dedicated editor, and realize why the article should not be on wikipedia in the first place. Let me know what you think. I am watching your page. Ikip (talk) 02:51, 13 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm glad you read the article and thanks for providing feedback. I'm assuming that you've looked at my history and contributions here... When you tell me that my "Keep" comments don't meet your own personal standards for the discussion, you're not talking to a child. By disparaging peoples' votes, you erode the legitimacy of the voting process. Furthermore, if I was a new editor, your comments would be very discouraging. You don't want to scare new editors away from this project, do you? When there is an AfD, there is nothing that requires the voter to comment beyond their vote to KEEP or DELETE. If somebody votes to KEEP, yet you don't like their rationale, you still must accept the vote. This goes both ways... I view every DELETE vote as legitimate, even if the rationale behind it is asinine, as many are. --AStanhope (talk) 16:51, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Concerning Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2009_September_14#Alternative_solution_to_Zeno.27s_paradoxes

I didn't say "please don't assume bad faith or be directly uncivil", and the policies don't either. They urge a positive, rather than proscribing a negative. The distinction corresponds to a behavioral difference that matters: it influences how you respond to people, especially newcomers, and that was the second newcomer who interpreted your remarks as unnecessarily harsh in as many days. That's useful information in itself, entirely apart from any value judgment, is it not? That you might be producing a different result with your words than you want or intend? Look, you have a truly remarkable history of contributions to Wikipedia, orders of magnitude beyond my brief and limited participation, and I honor you for it. But "crackpot theories", in all candor? ( They weren't, btw. ) This to a newcomer who probably means well, but just doesn't know what Wikipedia's about? I'm sure it's no fun to receive this criticism - no one likes criticism, as far as I know - but I find it hard to imagine that this can be typical for you, or that it represents the best that so distinguished a contributor can offer to a confused new user.

Lord Denning[edit]

I am writing to 'Ironholds' because I gather he/she has an interest in the article on Lord Denning. I have just published three books about Lord Denning which I have added to the further reading section, after advice from David Underdown. I feel that these books will be of interest to anyone who reads the excellent information on the Lord Denning page and would, obviously, like people to have access to my work on Denning's Jurisprudence. Two of my academic colleagues have commented favourably on the books which are based on my doctoral research:

Two fellow academics have commented on the trilogy in the following kind terms:

“Lord Denning was a man of monumental influence over the development of English law, both in its substance and style. In this remarkable trilogy, Dr Stephens has produced a magnificent exposition and analysis of Denning’s contribution to the common law – a corpus of rules now affecting a third of the world. The trilogy is a work of profound historical significance. Through both minute exegesis of Denning’s judgments and grand narrative of their historical setting and significance, Stephens’ work gives an understanding of a judicial phenomenon that shaped important aspects of the twentieth century. The breadth and depth of the studies, and the scholarship from which the writing flows, are extraordinary.” - Professor Gary Slapper if a professor of Law and Director of the Centre for Law at the Open University. With Dr David Kelley, he is the author of The English Legal System, an important text book which is now in its 9th Edition “The Jurisprudence of Lord Denning: A Study in Legal History by Charles Stephens, a set of three complementary books on the philosophy and judgments of Lord Denning is, in my opinion, by far the most thorough and convincing analysis and study of Denning in existence. The trilogy is a scholarly contribution of the very highest quality and the utmost importance in its subject-matter; it is also a wonderful read. It is quite the best book we have on him, I cannot think of any work on Lord Denning that better deserves publication.” - Professor Antony Lentin is a retired Professor of History at the Open University and a Member of Wolfson College Cambridge. He is also the author of The Last Political Law Lord: Lord Sumner 1859-1934 published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing in 2008 and of several judicial biographies in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, including those of Lord Reading and Lord Maugham.

Dr Charles Stephens MA [Oxon], LLB [London], PhD [London] == Thankyou for your helpful comments about Further Reading in relation to Lord Denning.

The information which you asked for is as follows:

  • Stephens, Charles (2009). Fiat Justitia: Lord Denning and the Common Law. Cambridge Scholars Publishing. ISBN 1443812447.

The Kompong Cham page talks about the Kizuna bridge and gives some details about it. To my point of view 2 pages are necessary

one for the town

one for the bridge

This what I was doing but I'm not familiar with references and didn't complete it off. Obviously the Kampong Cham should only mention that bridge.

A T.I.M.E.[edit]

Howdy Ironholds. Please remove the SD template on A T.I.M.E. as contested. If you would like to open the question for AfD that is fine. Please read Talk:A T.I.M.E.#Contested SD. It is an org similar to Resolve or the Puah institute. Thank you, Joe407 (talk) 01:17, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: List of Highways in Reeves County, Texas[edit]

Thanks for the note! Yes, the list is complete regarding federal and state highways. The list does not list county roads, as Reeves County has an extensive network. I don't think anyone involved with the Texas State Highways WikiProject has the stomach for that task when there is still a backlog of hundreds, perhaps thousands of Farm to Market Roads that still need pages. I've also created highway list pages for Brewster, Culberson, Jeff Davis, Presidio, and Reeves counties in Texas. I've done Farm to Market Road lists for the Texas Trans-Pecos, Rio Grande Valley, and West Texas. Now, I'm working on a rewrite of Texas State Highway 118 to pull it out of stub status.

I'll take you up on your offer. I'd love to have a few featured articles under my belt, and any advice you could provide will be greatly appreciated! Fortguy (talk) 17:45, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Operational Quality of Release[edit]

Hi! No, A1 only applies to short articles as well (as does A3). If the article is not very short, even if it fails to provide context, it's not deletable under A1 and should be prodded or taken to AfD instead. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 17:33, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Umm, it's right there. Quote:

Articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article. Example: "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh." This applies only to very short articles. Context is different from content, treated in A3, below.

It's explicitly stated that "This applies only to very short articles." Are we reading the same version? :) Jafeluv (talk) 17:43, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw you prodded it six months ago. I think it's time to get that initial decision put in place.—Ryūlóng (竜龙) 13:36, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Olga Rutterschmidt[edit]

Hello there. I am leaving this message to you because you voted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Olga Rutterschmidt. The AfD was closed early because the article had been renamed to Black Widow murders during the discussion, and both Olga Rutterschmidt and its sister article Helen Golay have been merged into it. If you wish, please feel free to nominate this new article for deletion if you feel that the article does not merit a place on Wikipedia. Regards, NW (Talk) 15:46, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

BLP AFDs[edit]

Since the bot broke and these AFDs stopped getting sorted to their own page, I haven't been doing much with AFDs. I noticed your activity in AFD and now I'm just going to use your watchlist as my BLP AFD reference page. Ahaha. Keep up the good work! XD Lara 17:14, 25 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I don't normally badger people who disagree with me at AfD, but in this case would you mind looking at the sources I've found covering the disappearance of Maura Murray? I'm fairly sure that they demonstrate the notability of this case. I'd tidied up the article after the last AfD, but I neglected to suggest a name change to refocus on the case rather than the individual or to include more sources, apologies.

The Veils[edit]

Finn Andrews is actually the deus ex machina of The Veils, anyhow the current article has been edited by someone else, my last edit was mainly about the chronological history of the band. I will re-edit it the way it should be. The Best Awful

Just uploaded a better picture and corrected little mistakes, where's the problem? The Best Awful

I was talking about the article text, which has been edited by someone elses, my last edit to the text has been mainly deletad. You wrote that the article is about Finn Andrews instead of The Veils and I answered that is not my responsability, just that. My last edits are on the band-box and the picture. What's the point of your question? The Best Awful

Well, sorry. I didn't notice I've edited this line cause I have the whole page saved and I just cut and paste it to bring back the picture I've uploaded earlier. If you like edit again the line you're talking about without touching the band-box and the picture. The Best Awful

Can I ask why such care for that small detail? The Best Awful

You must have some bad feeling against him. I don't know how much you know The Veils but anyone who knows enough them will tell you that The Veils are basically Finn Andrews and other musicians who play live with him. I am preparing a new edit for that article and it will be oriented to The Veils as band more than on Finn Andrews and The Veils. Just be patient. The Best Awful

I agree, you seem to have some personal issue with this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giantsand (talkcontribs) 11:45, 1 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Condolences[edit]

I saw your comment on Daniel's talk page about the passing in your family. My condolences. It happens to everyone in the end, but it's always sad when it happens to someone you know and care about. Georgewilliamherbert (talk) 03:22, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I second that. But I was actually coming by to request that you refactor your ANI statement. I don't think I've ever had any interaction with Undertow whatsover. So unless you have diffs to back up your statement, I'm going to expect an apology for the smear. Thanks! ChildofMidnight (talk) 05:28, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • You stated on ANI that "the undertow was a friend of COM... if this knowledge had been available to the community as a whole than (sic) Law's unblock of CoM would have been treated substantially differently." Now you posted on my talk page saying you got an e-mail that you say was intended for me, explaining that Law was the Undertow. So wouldn't that indicate that I did NOT have any knowledge of who the Undertow was? Again, I request you correct you false smear or provide diffs of the interaction and friendship you claim I had with The Undertow. Keep in mind that lying is a violation of the civility guideline, so if you don't correct the record I may feel obligated to pursue further action against you for making bogus and innacuracte claims. Thanks! ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:23, 2 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Churchill Honorary Gray's Inn Bencher[edit]

  • A Visitor's Guide to the Four Inns of Court in Central London, written and published by Richard Ruda, Washington DC, 2008, P. 116: "Both Churchill and Roosevelt became Honorary Benchers of Gray's Inn during World War II"
  • This blog gives the date as 1942 but cannot be assumed reliable
  • This book provides the interesting snippet that Churchill and Roosevelt first met at Gray's Inn in 1918, when Roosevelt was Assistant Secretary to the Navy.

Re: Aeroflot Flight 3352 - past or present tense[edit]

I would usually use past tense in the timetable, but somehow my intuition led me to write in present. Can't explain why. Perhaps because it looked acceptable to me and it is easier to read in present tense (simpler phrasing). That said, I am no authority in English, and if someone rewrites, I wouldn't mind.

Kizuna bridge[edit]

The Kizuna bridge is very important for Cambodia.

Today it is the only bridge on the Mekong.

I have tried to create a new page for it and I thought to remove the informations from the Kampong Cham page later (because I didn't know how to deal with references), that was my mistake.

To my point this bridge does need a page of its own with technical informations and a pic. All important bridges in Asia have their own pages ! Why not this one What do you have against it ?
