Left's RfA[edit]

I've struck your oppose. Feel free to add your support in the support section, but I'm not going to stand by and watch as an otherwise perfect RfA goes down the tube over a not-so-funny joke. —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 19:34, 26 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ed, I guess you need to inculcate more civility and of course, humour, in your way of working. But surely, I won't revert your changes. This was intended, and will remain, just a point in humour, irrespective of your behaviour. Personally, I do think Left will be an extremely credible Admin.

I've been slightly peeved over other joke opposes in other RfA's, and this one—thrown onto the RfA of one of the best candidates I've seen recently—just put me over the edge. I really don't like them (as I'm sure you can tell!), but I apologize for my actions here. Next time I'll just leave a message on the RfA and/or their talk page without striking. On a side note, I had to go look up "inculcate" in a dictionary. I kind of like it, so I think I'm going to try to use it in real life tomorrow. :-) —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 04:15, 27 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well Ed, I have changed my opinion of you completely :-) I realise the changing of my vote was a momentary impulsive move. And yes, I find your reply pretty honest, disarming and sweet. Thanks and best wishes. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 04:35, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, yeah, it was completely impulsive. The worst part of all this: I haven't found a good time to drop that word on someone. —Ed (talk • majestic titan) 06:28, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright?[edit]

Hi Wiffione, Thank you for you reply again! The words we use are our own texts, we made them ourselves. So I don't understand why there can be a copyright violation (of our own text?)? Wikia is just the exact copy of the text we made. Or is this an automatic process and do we have to solve it like this? In case we have to rewrite it, how much 'rewritten' must it be? Is it just about a few words, or do we have to mix up everything? Please help again! Thank you, AstridA.groot (talk) 08:54, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the problem is that those words are present on other websites, and there is no way for an administrator or me or any other editor to tell whether these words were originally created by you or by others. Perhaps you could rework each and every sentence so that the construction of the sentences is different, but the meaning remains the same. I'll try and help you this week. Best. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 04:32, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • How about I just userfiy it for you, and take off the time pressure of any passing admin deleting it at any time? Courcelles (talk) 09:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Actually thanks for asking. But I think that would not be required. If I can't save the article in half an hour, I probably won't be able to even if you userfiy it. Thanks :) Take care. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 09:55, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Rewriting text[edit]

Hi Wiffione, Thank you for answer again. We have rewritten the text, see underneath. Is it ok like this? Please feel free to edit it! (just off the record: we are really curious who you are? Or is this a secret or mystery?) Thank you again, Astrid.

Houthoff Buruma The Game


Houthoff Buruma The Game is a serious game designed for recruitment purposes. In this interactive multimedia game, law graduates are challenged to display their skills. The Game is developed in 2010 by Houthoff Buruma and Ranj Serious Games.

As an example from the Netherlands of best practice world-wide involving serious games, Houthoff Buruma The Game was introduced at the World Expo 2010 in Shanghai. The Dutch government's investment in 'the GATE Project' shows the growing importance of serious games for business purposes. (Game Research for Training and Entertainment).

Gameplay[edit]

Players of the game represent China Mining & Marine, a demanding and unforgiving client. This state-owned giant has to construct the Panlong Renewable Energy Park, to meet the unprecedented energy goals of The People's Republic of China within an ambitious time frame. China Mining & Marine needs six specific vessels equipped with a unique installation technology, to succeed in completing the task in such a short time. These six vessels and the essential know-how are however in the hands of 't Hoen Marine & Offshore, a century-old Dutch family business. Because the Panlong Renewable Energy Park has become a matter of prestige for China, failure is not an option. China Mining & Marine needs those six vessels as soon as possible and is determined to acquire 't Hoen. What will it take to motivate the members of the 't Hoen family to sell their shares?

The students will be competing against each other in up to five teams, with up to five people in each team. They have 90 minutes to convince enough shareholders to sell their shares and to draft a 'Letter of Intent'. During the play they will be confronted with all kinds of information: video and text chats, e-mails, websites, conference calls, Facebook pages and Youtube movies.

Vandalism?[edit]

Hey Wifione, I barely know how the English Wikipedia works, so if you're not the one to bother with this question, could you please tell me, whom I should ask? I got an email, that User:196.34.16.68 requested a new password for my account. As - according to its Discussion page - this IP has been warned before for vandalism, do you think I have to do anything about this? Thanks in advance! Sudika (talk) 12:01, 6 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

A.Groot, my apologies again. An unexpected project took me away for a few days and extended beyond. It continues for another five days.

Portlaoise u-14b[edit]

What makes you think that article is a hoax? I'm not sure it meets WP:NOTABLE, but I don't see anything obviously false. Am I missing something? Tsumetai (talk) 16:21, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As Google search doesn't give even one source, leave alone reliable source, I have marked the article as a hoax, considering the claims in the article. If I have made a mistake, kindly provide reliable sources and I'll help you save the article. As I see it, without even one source on the world wide web, I have no way of making out how this could be true.

Facebook revolution[edit]

You're not asking for deletion but suggesting a rename, which has nothing to do with deletion. It's articles for DELETION, not articles for RENAMING. Deletion, not renaming. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 19:05, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi TenPoundHammer. Thanks for your message. Perhaps you did not read what I wrote: 'I would have prodded/speedied this, but expected considerable dissent, considering the viewpoints expressed. The term 'Facebook Revolution' is quite generic and cannot be used to signify anything just to do with Kashmir, a state with geographies extending into both India and Pakistan. Either this page should be deleted; or the page in reality should have a generic connotation (aka, 'Facebook revolution' across the world...)'.
  • TenPoundHammer, the reason that an editor gives options while opening an AfD is to allow editors to have the ability to get additional points of view. I disagree with your speedy non-admin close within a day of this AfD being opened. I will dispute it. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 01:40, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'll additionally place here reasons why you should not have closed this AfD as a speedy non-admin closure, from Wikipedia:Non-admin closure#Pitfalls_to_avoid "Extra care should be taken if a closure may be controversial or not clearly unambiguous. With the understanding that the closure may be reversed, non-admins should generally avoid closing such discussions. The same is the rule when the nominated item is a controversial topic." ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 01:47, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Therefore, I suggest an appropriate closure would have been only after seven days of discussion, given the controversial nature of what is written in the article. The article, if supported with reliable sources, could have escaped my AfD if it had been named "Facebook Revolution in Kashmir". But to have a generic name like "Facebook Revolution" and have details of Facebook's usage in Pakistan, is inappropriate and too generic a usage. I request you to reconsider your speedy close. I'll wait till tomorrow; and if we still don't agree, will place the AfD closure details and these discussions on ANI, and finally, if required on Deletion Review. Thanks and regards. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 02:04, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • I reopened, but I still don't see "deletion" anywhere in your argument. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 02:10, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can you please explain to me what the flying hell this has to do with deletion? Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Many otters • One bat • One hammer) 17:40, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I'm going to have to ask the same question. I don't see any argument for deletion anywhere in your nom. Your nom argues that the article should be moved. Just saying "the article should be deleted" without any sort of backup is not a valid argument for deletion, and in any case an improper title is never a valid reason for deletion. Xenon54 (talk) 18:25, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Dear Ten Pound Hammer, Xenon, I thank you for your replies. I have left a message on the AfD. We could continue discussions there if it's alright with you both? Feel free to leave a note out here at any time. Warm regards. ♪ ♫ Wifione ♫ ♪ ―Œ ♣Łeave Ξ мessage♣ 18:35, 31 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
