[edit] An Amusing AfD Debate

Hey, I wanted to say thanks for your closing down the AfD discussions on "Zhi has hemmorhoids" and that poor kid with his "King Adam" article. There is another AfD debate going on that's actually somewhat amusing: [1]. I thought you would be interested in weighing in there. Cheers! Ecoleetage (talk) 01:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Stick with RBI, see this for more details.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 01:22, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GE Real Estate

When you encounter an article that seems promotional but with a subject that seems notable such as GE Real Estate, it is often better to use the {{Advert}} tag than G11, or alternatively to cut the article down to a stub. See Google News coverage of the company. I have nothing to do with GE Real Estate or General Electric, but I suspect that a company with $79 billion in assets is probably notable. It might be worthwhile to restore the article and remove any text which you regard as excessively promotional. --Eastmain (talk) 02:59, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Scalise

I reverted your change, let me explain why. I have never heard that swearing in is retroactive... the bioguide lists election dates for inerim elected congressman but itdoesn;t say anything to the effect that swearing in is retroactive to that date... can you provide me with a decent source stating this... please bear in mind that other wikipedia elected offical pages using the election date as the staqrt date would not be positive evidence. Just because a mistake was made elswhere in wikipedia does not make it correct. Let me know.. Ithink you could be correct... I just need a citable source.--Dr who1975 (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Hey again... I'm sending an email to info.clerkweb@mail.house.gov to try to clear this up... give me a minute and I'll further explain why I think it's incorrect.--Dr who1975 (talk) 21:43, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

I added some thoughts on Drwho's talk page. I think what we have is a conflict between two authoritative sources (Bioguide and the Clerk of the House/Secretary of the Senate) and no clear means of deciding which is "more authoritative." JTRH (talk) 22:36, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Interesting on the Brownback page I notice it says he was elected on November 5, 1996 but his service (although retroactive) started on November 7, 1996.... it very sepcifically spells out that his service date is different than the election date unlike the other pages (which could be used as an argument both for and against retroactive start dates). I have sent an e-mail to info.clerkweb@mail.house.gov and I will let you know what they say.. I can also list my other reasons if you want me to (I don't want to come off as argumentative).--Dr who1975 (talk) 22:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Check his contrib history. He's a long time user. I think you've got this one wrong. --Dweller (talk) 19:52, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WCBS-TV

I ask your assistance: a new user, Nickfaitos (contribs), has been unnecessarily changing the introductory paragraph in the WCBS-TV article, labeling the station as the "East Coast flagship". As we know, there is no such official designation for any television station, but this new jack utilized an IP address, 67.180.135.133 (contribs), to continue to prove their point. ([3]) This continued after I made comments on their talk page on the content. I'll assume the IP got a user name, but they have been using both the IP and the registered account to revert back to their version, labeling my changes as vandalism. I've already reverted twice, and I'm not going to avoid running afoul of the three-revert rule. Thanks in advance. Rollosmokes (talk) 06:39, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Ashley Higgins

You have somehow accidentally left my comment outside your archival box, even though I made it before the decision to speedy delete was taken. JH (talk page) 19:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Now fixed, I see. Thanks. JH (talk page) 20:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Philadelphia Phillies

Thanks for your contributions and edits to Philadelphia Phillies. However, I reverted your edit which removed references to the Philadelphia Quakers. Please read the old discussion on the article's talk page regarding this issue. The references disagree, but the names Quakers and Phillies were used concurrently from 1884-1890 as evidenced by many resources provided by the Baseball Hall of Fame. The team history website, if that is your reference (which, by the way, you did not provide), is inaccurate in this regard. KV5 (talk) 12:56, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Relisting debates

Hey there Blueboy96, hope you're well. I apologize in advance if you already know this, but just in case, I'll leave a messsage. Yesterday, (the 11th), when you relisted Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Sandeep Johri, you didn't remove it from the May 6th log and add it to the May 11th log. I've now done this for this particular debate for you. Relisting means exactly that, relisting it. It takes three edits to do it -one to mark the Afd as relisted, one to remove it from that day's log, and one more to re-add it to the current day's log. Point of reference is located here (instruction #8). Again, my apologies if you already know this. I've forgotten myself a couple of times and was glad to get a talk message to point it out. Thanks for your editing, Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 18:40, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] POV deletion nomination

The article Instant-runoff voting controversies has been nominated for deletion. User:Abd has admitted that they work as an advisor for an anti instant-runoff voting group in a former deletion nomination for this article. User:Abd has a clear conflict of interest. I believe this person is wedging themselves into the nomination and shouldn't be there due to this. They have also tried to manipulate the nomination. QuirkyAndSuch (talk) 08:23, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] My Home

What was wrong with it? It was an article that I put a lot of work and local knowledge into. If you see my portfolio of contributions you will see why! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rich nffc (talk • contribs) 18:30, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I have tried to explain on his talk page about notability and WP not being an indiscriminate collection of information. As the nominator, I have a different question: I'm pleased to see it go, and I would have speedied it if I thought there was a category to fit, but I thought A7 only covered people and organisations and web content? Broader cover for cases like this would certainly be useful. JohnCD (talk) 18:55, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

The way I read A7, it applies to ANY article that does not assert its notability. Besides, the text of the criterion refers to "people, organization (band, club, company, etc.)" Blueboy96 19:15, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:InSessionlogo.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:InSessionlogo.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:10, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sockpuppets

Thanks for blocking User:Kjngjkn who has previously:

blanked the page at The Philadelphia Inquirer on 5 March 2008
edit-warred on List of sexual slurs
edit-warred on Mac OS X

Six minutes after you reverted his edits at Mac OS X, User:Crazypush planyour... reverted you.[4] A review of his edit history shows that he has:

blanked the page at The Philadelphia Inquirer on 4 March 2008
edit-warred on List of sexual slurs
started edit-warring on Mac OS X by claiming your edits were vandalism.

Do you think that I being overly suspicious in assuming that Crazypush planyour... is yet another sockpuppet of User:Knowhands enjoykeep?

You can add Erj411 as well. He's just hit List of sexual slurs, Battlestar Galactica: The Second Coming and my talk page. --AussieLegend (talk) 14:18, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I saw the RFCU and did a double-take when I saw the number of sockpuppets involved. At the SSP report AlistairMcMillan mentioned Primetime fairly early but it meant nothing to me. It was a good pickup. Hopefully they've all gone now. --AussieLegend (talk) 15:03, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Block on account '67.180.135.133"

Hello. At 16:32 on 9 May 2008 I was notified of the assessment of a twenty-four hour editing block for what was described as "abusing multiple accounts" or "sock puppetry." I fully accept this block, because I did precisely what was described, and for the purpose cited, but after ten days' passing I feel the need to at least make it known to you, the administrator who declared the block, that I did not know such a rule existed, and I would not have taken such an action were I aware of it. However spirited the exchange between another user and me regarding certain lines in a Wikipedia article, it was not my intention to breach any convention of procedure and good faith (although I see that the other user has in his history also received blocks under similar circumstances). I suppose there is no provision for appealing blocks retroactively, but I feel the need to make it public (or "Wikipedia-public" at least) that I did not know that I was officially doing wrong. This is a minor item in the overall Wikipedian community, but I thought I would notify you of this--a lesson well learned. Please respond to this message if there is anything you feel I should know. Thank you, Nick, also known (although not from now on) as "67.180.135.133".

[edit] List of British Females who reached number one on the Hot 100 (United States)

I was just about to clarify my nom when you closed the discussion. Could you direct me to the criteria of inclusion for lists? --Ave Caesar (talk) 18:00, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

WP:LIST is where you want to go, next door to your left. Blueboy96 19:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me, however I went ahead and put it up for WP:DRV to have the AfD reopened. Even after reading WP:LIST it still seems quite trivial and not very useful. I think it's at least worthy of discussion.--Ave Caesar (talk) 21:58, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I've re-opened the discussion with a note on how you closed it. I have no opinion on the list itself, but I ask that you give Ave Caesar a day or so to clairify the deletion rationale before considering another speedy keep. Cheers. --lifebaka (Talk - Contribs) 14:59, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

This is at DRV. See my comment there. Daniel (talk) 03:11, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
