Page Deletion
Nervousticmotion (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)why did you just delete that page? you claim it was blatant advertising but there were no value judgements whatsoever. It did not imply Cozimnot! are a good or a bad band, it merely speculated upon their interesting formation and band name.Nervousticmotion (talk) 13:01, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- What page, if I may ask? StaticGull Talk 13:03, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Nervousticmotion (talk) 13:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)it was entitled Cozimnot! and was imho removed far too speedily. what is the point in speedy deletion if it's impossible to make any amendments before the page vanishes?Nervousticmotion (talk) 13:06, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- The Cozimnot! page was written like an advertisement, and also didn't indicate why the group/band was important. StaticGull Talk 13:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Nervousticmotion (talk) 13:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)that's absolutely ridiculous. if you think that then you may as well put radioheads page up for speedy deletion because that's what i was basing it on. it was a purely factual article and i was led to believe that wikipedia is what people come to when searching for specific facts - which is what i provided for this band before you decided to delete it.Nervousticmotion (talk) 13:17, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- I suggest you review WP:Notability and ensure you can prove this band is notable, and perhaps work on the article in your userspace prior to creating it in the namespace. xenocidic (talk) 13:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Donny Long
HOW on earth does citing Donny's own words, from his own wb page, constitute Vandalism??? PLEASE explain James W. Ballantine (talk) 13:05, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Like CanadianLinuxUser[1], I was reverting vandalism on many pages, and your edit looked like vandalism. StaticGull Talk 13:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Seriously, I'm NOT the guy who has been posting erroneous gay credits, or calling him Donkey. The citations are from Donny's own site, and a well nown blog citing the same site. Is this acceptable?James W. Ballantine (talk) 13:18, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Feel free to re-add the content to the article. It might be helpful if you included an edit summary, though, so vandalism reverters won't be as enclined to revert your edits. StaticGull Talk 13:21, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the tip. James W. Ballantine (talk) 13:22, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Vandalism warnings posted on User:129.31.40.64's talk page
Hi. I noticed the two vandalism warnings you posted on User:129.31.40.64's talk page here and here. You might like to reread Wikipedia:Vandalism to see what constitutes vandalism, as they appear to me to be good faith edits, whether or not you agree with them. Please take a bit more care before assuming that edits are vandalism. --DAJF (talk) 13:19, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about that. As User:129.31.40.64 didn't provide an edit summary, I thought he was just deleting content. StaticGull Talk 13:23, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Re: Thanks
No problem, I got the vandal blocked indefinitely as well. =) xenocidic (talk) 18:16, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- No worries. xenocidic (talk) 13:06, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- Suggestion: Use a CCL licensed photograph of the Halo 3 legendary helmet. you could create a derivative work of http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:Halo_Legendary_Helmet.jpg , or if I get some batteries for my camera, I could take a picture (if you don't have one. xenocidic (talk) 15:34, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, I'll start working on that. StaticGull Talk 15:55, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Indianviolin (talk) 15:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
- If you can improve the article enough, you can remove the proposed deletion template. StaticGull Talk 15:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks...

...to mark pages as patrolled after tagging for CSD =) (see WP:NPP). xenocidic (talk) 13:45, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, right :-). I don't suppose there's a way to do that with Huggle? StaticGull Talk 13:47, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hrm, not sure, never used it. Just getting used to to NPP myself, actually. xenocidic (talk) 13:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- Not with the current version. Ask Gurch for it to be added though :P. When a page is deleted, it will be taken out of the new pages list anyway, so no-one will go to it after that anyway. Stwalkerster [ talk ] 15:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Talk pages for related IPs
Hi! I've noticed that both you and I have left talk messages for anonymous IPs that have been editing Oakville, Ontario. I left one for User_talk:209.250.169.79, you left one for User_talk:209.250.169.154 and User:Whpg left one on User_talk:209.250.169.105. I think it would be a good message to send to such users that we know that all of these belong to
OrgName: Halton Catholic District School Board OrgID: HCDSB Address: 802 Drury Lane City: Burlington StateProv: ON PostalCode: L7R-3Y2 Country: CA NetRange: 209.250.160.0 - 209.250.191.255
Shouldn't there be a way of collecting all these in one place (like redirecting the talk pages and their content to one central one? Or transcluding the content from one onto another? KevinCuddeback (talk) 14:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for finding that out! I've added
{{SharedIPEDU|Halton Catholic District School}}
to their talk pages. StaticGull Talk 14:59, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

"Trophic hormone" article
Hi,
I have just noticed that you have reverted the changes I made to this article back to the false positive reported by cluebot. Would it be possible for you to change it back since I am now having problems adding the edits to the article and cannot change it myself. If you disagree with what I am trying to right, please let me know and I will try to justify it.
Thank you for your time! --Mubinchoudhury (talk) 15:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hi! The page you are trying to create already exists, and can be found here. Your help to improve that page would be greatly appreciated. StaticGull Talk 15:43, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi again, That's not quite right. The point I am trying to make is that they are two very different things. They are not the same and one should not redirect to the other. Just to clarify: Tropic hormone is correct. TropHic hormone, should not redirect to Tropic, as it is a different topic. Does that make sense? --Mubinchoudhury (talk) 15:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
- Ah, right. I've restored your edit. Also, don't forget to read Wikipedia:Your first article. StaticGull Talk 15:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

- I'm not quite sure what you mean. StaticGull Talk 10:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
I've just got to ask
Are you really a gull that is unable to move? Cos that would be like bezzing mate, you know what I mean? 86.168.137.63 (talk) 16:06, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
That's bezzing mate!! Wicked cool.
Can you like do us a favour, and like, not reverts me vandalism. 86.168.137.63 (talk) 16:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
- If you follow this vandalism-guideline, I won't have to revert your vandalism. StaticGull Talk 17:18, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
The IP you warned about vandalism to that school article
Don't bother. He knows he's vandalising. In fact, he's a sockpuppet of at least 3 vandals. Imperial Star Destroyer (talk) 17:13, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Hey buddy, thanks for undoing the vandalism on the Point Horror page, that's the second time somebody has deleted an entire year from the list of books, it's a different IP but I suspect it's the same person, whoever that may be. Thanks for keeping an eye on it and fixing it while I was away though.
- You're welcome :-). StaticGull Talk 10:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Blatant Advertising
I have tried (3 times) to post a page for Futuretrust but it keeps getting deleted! I don't know what to do because the copy is being written by the legal team for the company so I am having a bit of trouble putting it up. --Bluesky08 (talk) 15:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)Bluesky08
- That would present a major conflict of interests. If the company is/becomes notable, then a disinterested party should be the one to write the article. Just my 2 cents. xenocidic (talk) 15:45, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- I agree, if the company writes an article about itself it will be severly biased. You need an unbiased third party. --APShinobi My Contribs 16:18, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- As mentioned above, the subject isn't notable enough (yet). You may also want to read the conflict of interests page given by Xenocidic, as well as the page about creating your first article. StaticGull Talk 14:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
