Speedy deletion
[edit]- Hey, welcome to Wikipedia! (I assume you're at least sort of new, seeing as you have no talk page). Anyway, just a quick reminder--we have very strict criteria for speedy deletion (see wp:csd)--if an article doesn't fit into one of those limited categories, it has to go through Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. Joe peeps didn't seem to fit any of them, so I've moved it to vfd. Best wishes, Meelar (talk) 20:24, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks. Yeah I wasn't sure about the article, too short but it (the pizzeria) "delivers around the world" sounded interesting... Didn't want to overflow the VFD-page also.
- Another speedy deletion comment--Wiretap Scars. Please read the criteria for speedy deletion. I did not remove the notice or vfd it. 24.245.12.39 21:35, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- RE:Wiretap Scars, some fixes with link to page from Sparta (band). Is this now within the criteria?
- I'm not sure what you mean exactly :-( ||sorry-I thought the above comment was made by you Feydey 24.245.12.39 22:12, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)||. A helpful guide to action on deletion is Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Article problems are listed there together with the appropriate action. 24.245.12.39 21:56, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

List of islands of Bulgaria
[edit]Why did you put a delete tag of List of islands of Bulgaria? Kappa 20:24, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- See WP:CSD - Article: Any article whose contents consist only of an external link, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, or interwiki link? Feydey 20:34, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I believe an "interwiki link" means a link to another wiki, such as wiktionary. Wikipedia has many list pages consisting only of internal links. Kappa 20:47, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Of course, silly me. Feydey 20:52, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I'm not clear what 'NN' means, but if it's 'not notable', that isn't grounds for speedy deletion, only for a VfD. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:41, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was aiming for not notable, but JSP (Internet Celebrity) still is usless, doesn't merit even a VFD i thought... Feydey 20:57, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Notenglish vs nonsense
[edit]Please use a {{notenglish}} tag on articles in foreign languages, not "nonsense". Kappa 14:40, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Waypoint navigation
[edit]I am trying to put this page on VfD, but can't actually figure out how to do it, and I can't get the VfD page to open, so I can't see another example to copy. Can you help please.--John 17:23, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- No problem, i nominated it for speedy deletion, but see Wikipedia:Guide_to_Votes_for_deletion and Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Log/Today for instructions for VFD. Feydey 17:28, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
on the trail of a vandal
[edit]I need an article this has happened to (even if already reverted) to get on the trail of this vandal. Vaoverland 19:20, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
We need to watch for the next one and move on a ban when he/she (Mr. or Ms. Vandal) is the most recent editor before reverting, then after ban is in place, revert. That's the only way I know to get what will only be a temp ban on the IP address. Ah, the joys of the encyclopedia anyone can edit (or vandalize). Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 19:33, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
Another admin and I have collaborated on blocking IP 66.57.105.182 for 24 hours. I hope this helps. I am reminded of the frustration of young and confused Holden Caulfield in J.D. Salinger's The Catcher in the Rye who was discouraged by all the "F---You" graffiti he found and the hopelessness felt that although he worked fervently at eradicating it, undoubtedly even more was being "created" faster than he could get rid of it. Fortunately, WP seems blessed with the opposite ratio, or at least a balance. I also scan all changes to my 1400 watched pages for IP addresses, and I find a large proportion are vandalization entries. BTW, if you are not a WP admin, you should become one, as there are better tools available for helping in this effort. Mark in Richmond. Vaoverland 21:07, May 6, 2005 (UTC)
I'd say there's not much we can do about these wrestling stub articles...apart from leaving a message on his talk page, we can follow his edits to stub and categorize them. I doubt he's acting maliciously. My guess is it's ignorance or laziness. --Chrysaor 05:35, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
- That's a pity, but i guess we have capable eyes on Kks862003's edits :-) --Feydey 09:29, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

Speedy Delete
[edit]Do not mark articles with {{db}} simply because you think they should be deleted. That is a speedy delete template. The redirect to Samori was obviously not a speedy delete candidate.
Also, be bold. If a poorly written article should be a redirect to a better written one, just do it. Don't use a delete template expecting an admin to do it.
- BeBop 18:16, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- Hello. I was just concerned that the bad history of the article would be left (in the redirect article). But in the future i shall boldly make those redirects... --Feydey 19:00, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- More importantly don't move articles by cutting and pasting them; you should use the "Move" function (up there at the top of the screen). If for some reason you can't ask an admin. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:34, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know that, but thanks for the advice anyway. Feydey 19:43, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, did I get it wrong? I thought that you'd moved the page, but I must admit that I didn't double check. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 21:48, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- I just realised that the poorly formated {{db}} by BeBop made You to look at my talk page. Hehe. I guess Bebop was in a hurry, forgetting to place those nowiki -tags. -Feydey 22:01, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- That's right; I don't know how many admins he puzzled doing that. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:28, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
- sorry about that template in your page. my bad technical dont know how to not do that. dont bite me.
General Riedesel
[edit]I'm sorry if it appears that I am stepping on someone's toes. However, my essay on Friedrich Adolph Riedesel FzE is more substantial IMHO and does not include the misleading "von" designation.--Paul Riedesel 17:26, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Those misinterprations are best clarified in the article about the Baron in WikiPedia, than in other unrelated articles like Convention Army and other Civil war articles. -- with best regards, Feydey 17:36, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Named entity recognition
[edit]Hi, what did you mean by "See Trigram tagger." in the Named entity recognition article? Are you referring to it in the sense that someone has attempted to modify the POS tagger to be a NE tagger or that the trigram technique can be used or something else? I'm a little confused. .msbmsb 18:24, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, i'm not familiar with the subject, but I googled it and NE was the headline of the article mentioning Trigram tagger. It had no incoming links, so I placed it under the NE article, so someone could figure out where it belongs. You are welcome to do anything with it (delete/incorporate/~move/so on). Thank You for the attention. -Feydey 20:17, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Ok then, that particular tagger is a part-of-speech tagger and, while many NER systems make use of the POS tags, it isn't in itself something that I think really should fall in the NER article. So I guess I'll take that reference out and maybe find a place for it under the Part-of-speech tagging article instead. Thanks much! .msbmsb 20:27, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
STNG episodes
[edit]Hey, thanks for the help in renaming Sub Rosa, however Cburnett and myself are following the Wikiproject:Star Trek guideline and renaming them all with (TNG episode). We have finished Season 1-3. - RoyBoy 800 15:15, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Good work you guys, but I didn't name the article... When I started work on it it was Sub Rosa (Star Trek). I didn't even notice that others were TNG's (atleast the previous one). I see there are still episodes w/o descriptions, so keep up the good work. Feydey 17:58, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Stub categories
[edit]Hey there, Feydey. You might want to have a look at Wikipedia:Stub, especially the section regarding stub categorisation. Cheers. --Sn0wflake 29 June 2005 00:17 (UTC)
- I might again :-) - I mean, I have looked, but it's TOO long. Cheers. Feydey 29 June 2005 00:21 (UTC)
- It's good you mentioned that... it gave me an interesting idea. I've broken up the article into two sections, one for average users and one for power users. I hope that makes things easier. Best regards. --Sn0wflake 29 June 2005 01:05 (UTC)

[edit]Feydey, thanks for the kind words, although my contributions have actually been mostly just cosmetic.

Speedy delete
[edit]I didn't understand you reason for the "delete" notice on Camp Cross. The article doesn't seem to meet the critera. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:20, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
- My mistake, I was under the impression that camps aren't proper WP material, I guess I was wrong. Good work ME. Feydey 11:30, 12 July 2005 (UTC)
Hello, Feydey. I would like to point out that "foul language" is not a WP:CSD. And for all it's worth, Reach Around does not contain any instance of foul language. If sexual subjects bother you, please refrain from editing articles with such content. --Sn0wflake 04:56, 22 July 2005 (UTC)
- I guess i should have refered to that VfD (Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Reacharound) on the subject, that i didn't find. My bad. -Feydey 09:53, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

Changing entry headings
[edit]Dear Feydey, you changed the title of my entry on Friedel, Frederic to Frederic Friedel, for which I thank you. I had tried in vein for a couple of days to do so myself. I need to do it for Boytsun, Olena as well, and will probably need to do it for numerous chess entries I am planning to make. Can you tell me how to edit headers (key words)? Or how I should handle key words (e.g. make it possible to search for and find Friedel or Boytsun). I am the editor of the www.chessbase.com news service and have copious amounts of information flowing in. I think I should do some kind of a wiki to keep it from all disappearing into the black hole of "read articles".
I wonder how I will get a reply to this.

High Icelandic/ Hafronska
[edit]I think i cleaned the article up ... what do u think of it now ??? does it need anymore changes u think ???
- High Icelandic needs sources, links, and more cleanup... --feydey 01:17, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
sources ???
[edit]Well this article is written by myself ... the only source i have is www.hafronska.org wich i refer to at the end of the article. Helheim 22:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
plz explain urself with more cleanup ... whats not good ??? i followed ur wikify rules to clean it up but u say it needs more cleanup so plz explain urself ... there r some internal links in the article and the "source" u can find at the bottom Helheim 22:19, 1 September 2005 (UTC)
- Add other pages (sources) that deal with this issue, this gives the topic more validity. Only one source doesn't make the article seem credible. For a direction in the article please see Wikipedia:Guide_to_writing_better_articles and Wikipedia:What_is_a_featured_article. feydey 21:43, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
CAsia-stub
[edit]Hi Feyday - there's one small snag with the new stub category. Hopefully it won't be a problem, but it's definitely work mentioning. The definition of Central Asia you've used for it covers a different area to that covered by the Central Asia geography stub. That is specifically for the five former Soviet Central Asian Republics, plus Mongolia, since it makes things considerably easier to stick to national boundaries. The new stub has a considerably wider and more amorphous coverage. As I say, it probably won't be a problem, but it is worth keeping in mind. Grutness...wha? 01:13, 4 September 2005 (UTC)
.sig
[edit]Apologies: I hadn't considered the effect on WP resources when I created my sig; I suppose it must seem pretty rude when we're all facing long lags and timeouts to have someone repeatedly posting the same image just to sign his posts.

Um, different thanks from someone else (didnt want to start a new heading, hope you dont mind). I just checked my userpage history as I often do and was pleased to see that you had reverted a vandal. Thanks muchly, as this is the second time Ive been vandalised by the same multiple South African user I.P. Just out of curiosity, how did you find out about it so soon? Recent changes? Anyway Ive rambled too long, thanks! Banes 16:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Searching for Entry
[edit]Help! I uplinked my entry as: "Louis James Pesha" and you were helpful in making this, my first Wikipedia uplink, a good effort.
Now I have a problem.
In searching for my site if you search "Louis James Pesha" and hit "go" the page will come up.
However, if you search for "Louis James Pesha" or "Louis Pesha" or just "Pesha" and hit "search," it finds nothing and won't open my Pesha page.
Why will the full correct name open in "go," but, not "search?"
Thanks.

- I'm not an expert on that matter so I have to say I don't know. Maybe it just takes time... --feydey 10:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
Hmmm, I do not exactly know for sure why you would like the Mihopa article deleted. Please let me know. If you want, you can email me at skds1433@hotmail.com.
- First please see WP:NOT for what WP is not for. Also if You look at Web hosting you'll see that it does not have links to Wikipedia articles on many Webhosting providers. Only some major web hosting providers are included to WP (Category:Web hosting). This was the reasoning behind my vote to delete the article. feydey 10:37, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

well, I finally found a pathway to you. sorry for the delay. I think (THINK) you are the one who believes that size determines the value of a genealogy group. I, of course, think otherwise as I explain below. The difficulty here is that a large group as you desire (again, if you are the one taking that position) cannot conduct the type of trailblazing research that Team Liddell et al is doing simply because there are TOO MANY individuals. There's no way to see the forest because of all the trees in the way.
On the other hand, a small growth, such as exampled by a group that has only very rare surnames, IS a research-manageable size. And what we are developing in this very new and still emerging discipline of genealogy-genetics (slightly more than 60 months old at this point from its date of birth in the labs of the Max Planck Institute in mid-2000 and some 36 months old from the time of its commercial application in mid-2002) is a means of using traditional genealogy, demography in all its ramifications and genealogy-genetics to create a model that the larger groups can then apply to advance their own work.
And this is not the end of it, for we are already pressing on to the idea of using this model we already have in crude but workable form to lay the foundation for applying those three areas of knowledge to improving medical treatment of inheritable diseases and the propinsity to develop certain diseases because of genetic inheritance. Additionally, the family genealogist is a natural harvester of medical information for physicians and other health-care providers to use in both the developed and developing worlds to treat emergency situations in real-time.
None of these research areas are easily addressed using the large groups that you think are the important ones. Instead, the model can most easily be created, refined and improved while dealing with SMALL groups.
Like Team Liddell et al.
What I am suggesting here is that you abandon the traditional attitude toward genealogy as being the framework to place the Team in during your assessment of the article we have provided--that framework being crudely described as "ancestor worship". We are not doing that. What we are doing is taking genealogy data and using it, in conjuction with the migraion component of demography especially and the labeling and cross-checking strengths of genealogy-genetics--along with a healthy input from other disciplines such as history and economics, to move toward being able to forecast necessary medical preventive steps, medical likelihoods of inheritable diseases common to a particular group of lines of descent and to, ultimately reduce negative physical life outcomes for individuals and entire families.
You say that we are not notable. I can only reply that we are attempting things that no one else has even thought about before in these fields and we are still finding our way forward in these things. Scientists--and I count myself as one what with having two masters and most of a doctorate--can rarely predict the paths their experiments will force them onto. I will add here that we have already generated some academic interest on three continents from what we've already accomplished.
I will close this entirely-too-long piece with a copy of a text I posted yesterday. I hope it will better explain why I believe that you are thinking apples and I am trying to sell you on the idea of oranges.
thanks and good night. the copied text follows.
I can add one other bit of insight which I hope you will see and pass on as I really doubt that at this point in time I can again find where I posted a slightly expanded verison of what appears below.
There was one other "unnotable" comment that I can respond to meaningfully, and that is the size of our group.
Yes, Team Liddell et al is small and shall always be small. Liddell and any of the other nearly 100 variants we know of today are rare surnames. A telephone survey of Australia by one of our members there that was done within the past year shows a grand total of 800 Liddell phonelistings with an estimate that about 60 percent of them represent adult males. New Zealand apparently is even smaller, about 60 total--widows and adult males.
Here in the United States, there were 800 Liddell-surname families out of a 1920 population of about 120 million according to a recent survey of the U.S. Census records, which according to federal law are the most recent that can be released that show surnames.
Certainly, one can amass huge numbers of Smiths, Joneses, MacDonalds and Kennedys in all the possible variants, but the sorting mechanisms to make research sense of these vast numbers simply do not exist.
On the other hand, the rareness of our surnames, the far-ranging dispersion across the globe of our surname-bearers and the neatness with which the past and present members of the Liddell et al surname cluster are involved in signal epochs of history makes us an ideal population to use in: (1) deriving conclusions regarding demographic migration over time and space in a manner that encompasses the entire globe and the entirety of civilization and prehistoric societies, (2) measuring the nature of how a genetically related group(s) of people(s) turn out as members of society under vastly varying cultures and socio-politic-economic environments and climates of nature, and (3) establishing research models for far-larger groups to use in better understanding their own outcomes as distinct groups.
It is basic to all research that a small but successful experiment of any type then defines the rules to be followed in a larger one.
I have no doubt that our "experiment" will be successful. We already have a wealth of material and measureable results in hand even though we have been in existance for only two formal years and these results already are defining the greater application of what we've already been doing.
What we present in the article is already useful to others. The blueprint is there, now. But because of the variances of human nature, this model likely will undergo refinement and specificity by the key individuals in other surname groups. This is only human nature. Even though there is no fundatmental differences between the various brands of automobiles, there is a great deal of difference between a Rolls-Royce and a Honda. Yet both begin from the same set of basic engineering principles.
I am tired at this point and shall close simply by repeating myself in that a small group makes the study we are attempting feasible and useful. If your co-worker wants big numbers simply for the sake of having big numbers, then Team Liddell et al will not fit his purpose. But since those large groups cannot conduct the type of basic research we are doing, then there is no benefit from discussing them.
They are commonplace as he points out and there is no advantage to singling any of them out.
I think I have responded to all the postings now. Goodnight.

Houlgate
[edit]Hi user,
Please abstain yourself from modifying the article 'Houlgate' as it is not yet finished. It is quite unappropriate to change another user's page especially if no work is added and elementary script is changed. Please only change the page if you intend on adding relevant information as the template is saved and will be uploaded once new information is collected.

If you continue to modify the above article I will be forced to report you as having vandalised this unfinished article, please refrain from modifying articles if not adding factual information.
Regards
- Feydey, thanks for your work on Houlgate. I believe the user didn't quite yet have a clear picture of the wiki process, but it has been explained to him that edits from other users is a normal part of working on Wikipedia. He seems to have gotten the message, as he hasn't re-formatted the article since I spoke with him. Best regards, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

AfD
[edit]Thanks for the help! This was my first nomination for deletion, and from reading through the documentation beforehand it sounded like it was suggested to add the first entry. The AfD footer on the deletion log seemed to explicitly suggest that, which seemed a bit odd to me too. Thanks for taking the time to clear that up for me. ASchmoo 16:56, 3 November 2005 (UTC)
Speedy again
[edit]Your speedy tags have been rightly removed from: Tedmeister, Jeremy Burgess, Mary C. Whitman and Petroto, Achaia. Please study WP:CSD. If in doubt, go for AfD rather than a speedy tag. -- RHaworth 09:25, 5 November 2005 (UTC)
My RFA
[edit]I'm sorry you found reason to object to my adminship, but now that I've been promoted, I'd like to clear the slate. If you have any specific issues/problems with me, please feel free to state them on my talk page so that I can work to prevent them in the future. ALKIVAR™ 07:21, 8 November 2005 (UTC)
You placed the AfD tag on this article, but did not state your reasons. Please go to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Giggle East and do so. Thanks --Rogerd 05:15, 9 November 2005 (UTC) Oops!, I didn't notice that someone blanked it, I reverted it. --Rogerd 05:23, 9 November 2005 (UTC)

You are more than welcome to take my save Hitchcock template and use it and make improvements on it. I was a bit upset to have found it was deleted and I was not made aware that it had been put up for vfd. So please bring back Smith03 22:49, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

Wapstart deleted?
[edit]Hello I started a Wikipage called Wapstart that was deleted 4 days ago, 1 day after its creation. The deletion was initiated by you. The purpose of the page was to create a startpage for Wikipedia that was not heavy to load, as the general start page, the simple start and the no frame start all are heavy to load on a WAP compatible mobile phone. There are copies of Wikipedia that are more suited for mobile phones, but I thought it would be good for mobile users to be able to use Wikipedia in its full version. Partly because it has more content and partly because it is easier to read an article if you load it all at once. Please get back to me on this issue. Either through my talk page or useFladvad 00:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Thank you, Feydey, for your support in my RfA - I'll do my best as an admin to make the reality of Wikipedia rise to the level of the dream. BD2412 T 02:01, 8 December 2005 (UTC) <--note familiar green sig exchanged for new "admin gold" sig :-D
i couldn't find any references to this per jensen or the "Svelvik Wrestling Federation" in a google search and speedied the article, but creator darklordper removed the tag before you tagged it for a cleanup. i told him if he couldn't provide notability references i would replace the speedy tag. thoughts? perhaps you've heard of this "per jensen" or the "Svelvik Wrestling Federation" . . . --Heah talk 02:50, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
Dear Korea University Hooligans
[edit]You'd better check out the link that I add and see what happened on the history section and discuss why the other wikipedia memeber tried to mend this link from the infantile behavior of some Internet lunatic.
Check out what "Barthes" said on the history and also check the IP address right above your name.
In what criteria you said that the information has to be cleaned up in just a few secon right after I revise the link? What kind of right and information about the (Korean) university do you have to change "right away" in a few second?
I cannot quite understand your act and even though it supposed to be done in a good intention.
I cannot erase some suspition that you are also one of the alumni of Korea university.
well, Anyway and anyhow i will not neither add the information concerning the university nor criticize YOUR GREAT, KOREA'S BEST UNIVERSITY and also do not fee like to play with these stupid "revision" things.
You guys win. Congrats!!!
Hope your narrow mind can find some peace :) But I doubt, Ciao. Hooligans Good job, Korea University Alumni, You guys must be very proud of yourself.

michelbites article
[edit]stop putting notices on my articles. They are not disparaging to the person related in the article at all.
Thanks for the help with that guy. I am still new to this so I am not to sure on how to report people. Usually I just outlast them but this guy is persistent.--Looper5920 18:17, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit]Oops, certainly didn't intend to put that spam link back in, I'd gone back to the previous rev to see what the page was (utter crap, as it turned out) when I saw what I wanted to edit... thanks for noticing and removing again. --Kiand 22:11, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- No problem. I just got a little annoyed, but now it's OK! Thanks. (You're right, See also section was garbage). feydey 22:18, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

ventura freeway map
[edit]Thanks for you input; your comments have been duly noted and I will address them on the map(s) accordingly. Mikeetc 03:40, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
There used to be a box that was positioned (automatically) beneath the images I uploaded specifying what program(s) was used to create the map...what happened to this useful feature?? Mikeetc 03:47, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
how is Oneness.jpg, which was created in 2004, irrelevant to "contemporary art"?
i.e. The term contemporary art generally refers to art being done now. The use of the literal adjective "contemporary" to define this period in art history is partly due to the lack of any distinct or dominant school of art as recognized by artists, art historians and critics.
notable
adj 1: worthy of notice.
Thanks. I've been editing since October and thought that I was getting signed in automatically.
Sorry. I was a cookie issue, I guess.
I could track down all my changes and post these somewhere.
Would that be expected or appropriate?
'wiki' is great, but the quickness of changes are a little disconcerting.
I'll look at your list of hints, but one protocol would be to check history or discussion before starting an edit.
Now, how well is conflict (computational in the sense of locking or not, not conceptual [grin]) handled? Are changes ever lost?
