I believe it should be deleted because it is one one line, and I thought that articles were supposed to be longer--Ro098 (talk) 21:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

New Project
Myself and several other editors have been compiling a list of very active editors who would likely be available to help new editors in the event they have questions or concerns. As the list grew and the table became more detailed, it was determined that the best way to complete the table was to ask each potential candidate to fill in their own information, if they so desire. This list is sorted geographically in order to provide a better estimate as to whether the listed editor is likely to be active.
If you consider yourself a very active Wikipedian who is willing to help newcomers, please either complete your information in the table or add your entry. If you do not want to be on the list, either remove your name or just disregard this message and your entry will be removed within 48 hours. The table can be found at User:Useight/Highly Active, as it has yet to have been moved into the Wikipedia namespace. Thank you for your help. Useight (talk) 17:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for clarifying that, I didn't realize that was a book, I really couldn't make any sense of the article to begin with. Wildthing61476 (talk) 21:29, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar | |
The Random Acts of Kindness Barnstar may be awarded to those that show a pattern of going the extra mile to be nice, without being asked. - I was very impressed, not only with the reading list and the advice and insight, but also with the fact that you took the time to do so. In a moment when it would have been easy to simply comment, you chose to attempt to educate, in an obvious attempt to help others. This is deservedly well-earned. - jc37 02:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC) |
- thanks. that brought tears to my eyes. thanks again. Dlohcierekim 03:00, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Request for help
Hello, I have the WP account of Ecoleetage. I asked another editor to set up a WikiBreak Enforcer for me, but he made a typo and set it for the year 2108. Can you please go to my monobook.js page and remove the Enforcer code? You can verify this by checking that page for the Ecoleetage account. (Sorry that I have to communicate via IP -- I am trying to find an editor who is online.) 69.121.199.196 (talk) 03:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
- I did it. Hopefully correctly. You will need to refresh your cache. Hope that helped. Cheers, and happy editing. Dlohcierekim 03:16, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Silly question: how do I refresh my cache? 69.121.199.196 (talk) 03:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC) Thank you so much! That was a bit scary! I greatly appreciate your help. Ecoleetage (talk) 03:30, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Requesting an Editor Review
Hi, you opposed my last RFA at Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Gary King a few weeks ago. I have decided to open an Editor Review at Wikipedia:Editor review/Gary King so I could receive a new assessment for my recent activity on Wikipedia. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take the time to look over my recent contributions and point out areas where I could improve. Thanks in advance! Gary King (talk) 04:43, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

User: Lampireslayer666
Your sent a message to Lampireslayer666 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log) at 14:04 today about his favourite nonsense page Patrick Flanagin, and I see it has been deleted three times today. But that user was indef blocked at 15:26 yesterday. Has he created a sock? Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Your feedback?
Hey, sorry to bother, but can I get your feedback on this AfD discussion: [[1]]? I just wanted to see if I was off-base in my judging of the candidate for deletion. Merci. Ecoleetage (talk) 16:52, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your input. I don't see this as a question of inheriting notability. I found it odd that a film that is in commercial release by a well-known distributor would be considered non-notable. I can ask around, as per your suggestion. Also, check your e-mail, as per a follow-up on yesterday's correspondence! Be well. Ecoleetage (talk) 18:58, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, again, for your input on this page. I appreciate your commentary. Also, more e-mails await you! (LOL). Be warned -- I am a fairly talkative character! Ecoleetage (talk) 19:22, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- PS, the AfD ended in a " no consensus, default to keep" decision! Thanks again for joining that discussion. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:31, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Another question Sorry to bother again, but I've noticed that you often "welcome" people to WP. That's a very nice gesture -- is that strictly an Admin thing or can anyone do it? And if anyone can do it, how can they? Thanks again! Ecoleetage (talk) 21:23, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- That is excellent. I think I would like to try doing that - it seems like a good thing to do! However, I may be taking a break very soon. :) Ecoleetage (talk) 22:27, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Unrelated but worthy question Say, is it possible for non-admins to participate in the RfA process? It doesn't seem proper for those who are not admins to vote on the subject, but I've seen a few non-admins contributing to the yeas and nays. Gracias. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:29, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks! To everyone who replied! :) Ecoleetage (talk) 00:47, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

WBOSITG's RfA
My RfA
Hi Dlohcierekim; I wanted to say thank you for supporting my request for adminship, which passed with 100 supports, 0 opposes and 1 neutral. I wanted to get round everybody individually, even though it's considered by some to be spam (which... I suppose it is! but anyway. :)). It means a lot to me that the community has placed its trust in my ability to use the extra buttons, and I only hope I can live up to its expectations. If you need anything, or notice something that bothers you, don't hesitate to let me know. Thanks again, PeterSymonds | talk 22:00, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Good to see you welcome RfA spam! :)

My recent RfA
Thank you for supporting my RfA, which unfortunately didn't succeed. The majority of the opposes stated that I needed more experience in the main namespace and Wikipedia namespace and talk space, so that is what I will do. I have made a list and I hope I will be able to get through it. I will go for another RfA in about three month's time and I hope you will be able to support me then as well. If you have any other comments for me or wish to be notified when I go for another RfA, please leave them on my talk page. If you wish to nominate me for my next RfA, please wait until it has been about three months. I will not be checking back to this page so if you would like to comment or reply please use my talk page. Thanks again for participating in my RfA! ·Add§hore· Talk/Cont 06:43, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Just A Comment
Well I did not realize the situation is now arbitrary? Did I miss something? Likewise, if you would like to comment on my opinions, please feel free to do so on my page, not to distract from the candidate. I have seen to many discussions take over an Rfa when it is about the candidate not personal agendas. Thanks. ShoesssS Talk 00:51, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, it should be deleted, it was vandalism. Corvus cornixtalk 01:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. It does indeed appear to be a userpage masquerading as a hoax article. I've stripped the speedy from it for now because I'm not sure that it can be speedied nevertheless, since hoaxes are speediable as vandalism and I'm not sure that userspace hoaxes count. I've tagged it as a userpage and stripped the categories, for now. I'm trying to decide if I should join you in talking to the creator about it, nominate it for MfD or what. I'll probably delve more into recent contributions, since I see there's ongoing page creation that may be more hoaxes in article space. *sigh* I so much prefer straightforward situations. :D --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:44, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I've warned the user that creating hoax articles (as she or he was busily working one) is regarded as vandalism and may lead to an account being blocked. I request that s/he stop creating them and instead discuss the matter on his or her talk page. S/he immediately blanked it, which one can only interpret as a big "message received." Currently, I'm monitoring account activity for a while to see how to proceed. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 18:58, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I could be off-base, but I wouldn't be surprised if this wasn't a rather young user. I've periodically checked contributions to see if she or he returns. Once before I encountered a user who was adamant in creating hoax articles...created them over a period of weeks before finally being blocked. As soon as the block was lifted, he was back at it again. Never responded to communications. Very perplexing! Anyway, I have no doubt that it's a hoax, since the show "features" several of the recent contestants on American Idol, including the winner, David Cook. Both of them are likely to be too busy with this American Idols LIVE! Tour 2008 to be making a TV show. :D I agree with the name coincidence; it smacks of adolescent fantasy. I'd agree that at this point it's a good idea to wait and see if s/he comes back before taking the userpage to MfD. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 23:28, 22 May 2008 (UTC)
- I have contact and am talking to her at my talkpage. If you should happen to wander by and want to add anything, feel free. :) --Moonriddengirl (talk) 12:25, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
- Looks like you have matters well in hand. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 13:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Dear Diohcierekim - I appreciate the recent editing of my article, Bidou Yamaguchi. There is one thing I wish you would reverse: The use of a macron in Bidou's artist-name as he uses this in the English language environment. This is what is actually recommended in the Wikipedia Manual of Style (Japan): "3. Use the form publicly used on behalf of the person in the English-speaking world." All uses of his name Bidou that I have seen in publications and brochures use Bidou. He signs his name in Western script: "Bidou." In addition to the rule in the Style Manual, we have these clear indications of his own personal preference and his own usage in the West. Again thanks for your editing. Mitakadai (talk) 18:39, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note. Don't see where I edited this article. Not sure of what change you want me to make. User:Fg2 appears to have edited the thing after you. He also seems more knowledgeable of the subject than I. You might want to contact him. Dlohcierekim 13:20, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
OK, that makes sense. When I came across the article, all's that was listed was the first sentence. If there's anything else I can do, let me know. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 21:34, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Well, then. I guess that takes care of that. Thanks for the heads up. Cheers. TN‑X-Man 01:44, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, bro.
Actually, I didn't create it, but I'd tagged it as a speedy as did a couple of other users. It's not really useful as a redirect, there's some info on the place at another article and it was nearly incomprehensible anyway. Thanks for asking, though. Best, --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
- You betcha. Glad to be of service. :) --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:42, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
go for it, unless you want me to do it? I certainly have no objection. When I speedied it, it was, "An enjoyable read with a good who done it thrown in. Dead bodies start to mount up as the crew search for he murder in their midst. Good run out for minor Trek Characters too." TravellingCarithe Busy Bee 18:28, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Declined speedy
Hi Dlohcierekim, I appreciate you letting me know about that. My reason for tagging both articles as A1 cases was not because the subject of the article couldn't be identified from lack of context – anyone who read the band's page could probably figure it out – but because it was "a very short article". I understand that that's a somewhat inaccurate "cut" of the whole definition of A1, but sometimes I think it might apply. This isn't appropriate with all cases, but sometimes I view A1 as "yes, one can sort of figure out who/what the article is about, but it only contains two or three words, so it's not useful or providing any additional information outside the main article the subject is associated with." In this case, Scarlet Party. I agree with your redirecting to the band page, though, and I actually had that as a second option in mind. So that was sort of my reason for my CSD tagging; I knew it would be sort of borderline, but I wasn't sure which direction to take. Again, thanks, I appreciate the heads-up. :) Cheers, JamieS93 16:12, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

. Rest assured, I have read each comment thoroughly and will be addressing the various concerns raised as I step cautiously into my new role as janitor. In particular, I would like to thank Balloonman for putting so much time into reviewing my contributions and writing such a thoughtful nomination statement after knowing me for only a brief period of time (and for convincing me that I was ready to take up the mop now, rather than go through admin coaching).
To my fellow admins - please let me know right away if I ever take any mis-steps with my new tools. Should I make a mistake, and you reverse the action, I will not consider it to be wheel-warring (but please tell me so I can understand what I did wrong).
To everyone - please feel free to slap me around a bit if I ever lose sight of the core philosophy of Wikipedia as I understand it - the advancement of knowledge through the processes of mutual understanding and respect. As always, feel free to drop by my talk page if I can be of any assistance. =)

Hello, Dlohcierekim, and thank you for your recent participation in my RfA, which was closed per WP:NOTNOW after reaching a vote tally of 5/15/2. While I am disappointed in the outcome, I understand that it - as well as the comments left by yourself and others - was in the best interests of Wikipedia at this time. I plan to take everything that was written to heart and improve myself here on Wikipedia with a goal of perhaps accepting a nomination again in the future, should someone choose to nominate me. As a way of gathering further feedback, I have created a page in my user space for other editors to leave comments about things that they might have observed during my RfA and to continue my "education process," as it may be considered. If you would like to contribute to that page, it may be found here. Again, thank you for participating and I appreciate your comments! --InDeBiz1 (talk) 17:53, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Starckdeutsch
Avoiding to comment in the AfD to prevent the impression of canvassing. I've examined the results in Google Books and the Google News Archive, and it seems Starckdeutsch (although I had admittedly never heard of it before) has been significantly covered by linguistists. It is mentioned e.g. in a book by very prominent German linguist Walter Jens, and at one point mentioned alongside the more well-known constructed language of Volapük. From a first glance, among the most significant sources are:
- de Gruyter, Walter (1973). Zeitschrift für germanistische Linguistik (in German). de Gruyter.
- Köhler, Peter (1989). Nonsens: Theorie und Geschichte der literarischen Gattung (in German). Göttingen: C. Winter. ISBN 3533041107.
- Jens, Walter (1996). Berlin, ein Ort zum Schreiben: Porträts und Texte (in German). Berlin: Aufbau-Verlag, Akademie der Künste.

I'm sad.. I really love Wikipedia, but find it hard to understand why was Jaman's profile deleted? I noticed that you have deleted us twice and it would be great to understand why this is.
We are a company with significance, and there are other companies listed on Wikipedia that are similiar in nature (video on demand). Its been deemed as advertising, no significance, but that's not the case. we'd really like to be included on wikipedia. How do you determine what companies allow a profile (Veoh, Joost, Hulu, etc) and others not?
Best regards, Sylvia Lee

Jaman deletion - reply
Thanks - I read over the page re: notability and companies - and again, I'd like you to do a bit more research as Jaman is an established company 1. Press coverage; as stated on the wikipedia notability requirements: " An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability. All content must be verifiable." Jaman has been in pubs like Wall Street Journal, NYTs, Business Week, the Economist, blogs like Mashable, techcrunch, etc as well as many other entertainment pubs like Variety. Please see http://www.jaman.com/a/download/?f=news for example. 2. Needs to have more than one employee - there are 35+ people employed full time at Jaman (I am not sure of the exact number) 3. Gaurav Dhillon (CEO) profile is listed, and has been, for a long time on wikipedia. there's a dead link to Jaman from his profile.
can we please submit a new short, jaman profile for your site?
thanks. sylvia slee@jaman.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.74.176.226 (talk) 00:35, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Courtesy Notification regarding my recall criteria
Hiya. Just a courtesy note to say I've named you as one of the editors that I would accept a request for recall from. There's nothing onerous about it, and you don't have to do anything. It's simply to let you know that as I have added myself to CAT:AOR I needed some unfussed criteria for recall, and I believe your judgement fits that criteria neatly. Thanks!

My RFB
Thank you for your comments in my RFB. Since it was only at 64%, it was a shoo-in to be unsuccessful, so I withdrew. I didn't want it to run until its scheduled close time because my intent in standing for RFB was to help the bureaucrats with their workload, not give them one more RfX to close. Through the course of my RFB, I received some very valuable feedback, some of it was contradictary, but other points were well agreed upon. I have ceased my admin coaching for now to give me time to revamp my method. I don't want to give up coaching completely, but I'm going to find a different angle from which to approach it. As for my RFA Standards, I am going to do some deep intraspection. I wrote those standards six months ago and I will slowly retool them. This will take some time for me to really dig down and express what I want in an admin candidate. If, after some serious time of deep thought, I don't find anything to change in them, I'll leave them the way they are. I'm not going to change them just because of some community disagreement as to what they should be. Will I stand for RFB again in the future? I don't know. Perhaps some time down the road, when my tenure as an administrator is greater than one year, if there is a pressing need for more active bureaucrats, maybe. If there no pressing need, then maybe not. Useight (talk) 03:00, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Probably a good choice, even though the IPs will probably turn out to be the same user as the registered user. They did a good job, anyway, getting their attack on the publisher permanently on Wikipedia and cached in google, so you gotta respect that type of success. --Blechnic (talk) 22:39, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

Verifiable information
Hello, I am currently working on my page here at wikipedia and I have some messages left by you on the page and wanted to get in touch with you directly.
FYI I am currntly signed to a major distribution deal with the group I tour with, the New Rascals (Young Rascals)who has recently recorded our live DVD and CD. It will be released in a few short week world wide. Meanwhile, I am diligently seeking verifiable links to al of my informational entries but cannot show you a copy of the contract. :)
All due respect, Charlie Souza
P.S. Anything you can suggest that may be helpful in me finishing my page would be sincerely appreciated. For example, I would like to upload a photo and place it on the right side of the page like Tom Petty or Gregg Allman but I need to know how to set up those frames or tables. Can you suggest something? Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Charliesouza (talk • contribs) 00:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I don't have any opinion on this. I just removed the typo. --Kleinzach 00:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the smile. It was nice to see it right after BC stuck me with a rude template, it definitely made me feel better. ^_^ --Dragon695 (talk) 02:21, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

No problem, thanks for the heads up. I saw that it had previously been deleted, so I thought it was the same article cropping up again. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 17:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Thank you
Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a final count of 42 supporting, 2 opposing and 2 neutral. I would like to thank Keeper76 especially for the great nomination. I look forward to assist the project and its community as an administrator. Thanks again, Cenarium Talk 00:09, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Rfa thanks
My RfA
Cheers for your support during my RfA. I am obviously disappointed in the outcome, but I got a lot of good constructive criticism from the process which can only be an improvement for me. Who knows, in the coming months after I've incorporated all this advice I may be successful. Cheers! Mark t young (talk) 07:22, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Almamy (singer) - Deletion
The article on recording artist Almamy (singer) should not be deleted. Proofs of notability have been shown, through references, quotes and links. Almamy is a notable figure in the New York City Downtown club scene and he and his music belong to wikipedia. I write and edit articles on music artists from the New York City club scene, Cazwell, Dangerous Muse... among others. And I strongly believe that the subject of this article, Almamy, needs a place on wikipedia. The article has been notabily improved from the deleted first draft, through references.Bech86 (talk) 22:33, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Titanic Memorial
Hello. I tried to edit the page and add dab links to Titanic Memorial (Washington, D.C.) and Titanic Memorial (New York City), but I see you deleted the page. Is there a way to restore it or do I have to create a new one? APK PRAISE JEEBUS 15:47, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
I had to undelete this, I don't see any discussion with consensus to move the pages, and these cases are controversial. The same goes for Master Roshi. Have you information about this ? Cheers, Cenarium Talk 18:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Okay, I've a link [2]. Cenarium Talk 19:01, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- No it seems to be consensual in the discussion above. Sorry for the inconvenience, Cenarium Talk 19:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
