Why'd you delete the thing about Katie eating a cockroach? It is legit. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Asideaside (talkcontribs) 05:21, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Comment on CSD G1

Hi there! First, I'd like to thank you for all of your contributions. Secondly, I was hoping to point out something that's a little bit of a pet peeve of mine (so excuse me on that fact). CSD G1 is, by definition, supposed to be used only for patent nonsense. That is things like complete gibberish (creating a page with something along the lines of "aoihr;aoiewhfa;owiehfa;eowih;oiweujaowiefhaoweifhao;wh") or text that just makes absolutely no sense to anyone. A lot of people tend to use G1 for things that should actually be tagged under G3 as vandalism. For example, on the page Blender (sexual device) that you tagged, the person creating the article wrote about an silly idea of a device, and was pretty obviously created in bad faith. Therefore, it would qualify for deletion as "vandalism", but, since the text made sense (albeit inappropriate), it wouldn't really qualify as "nonsense". I hope that makes sense. Please let me know if you have any questions. --NickContact/Contribs 04:46, 7 February 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing the error — I have a basic template (which you can see in my sandbox) that I typically copy and paste before filling in the data and saving, and apparently here I forgot to change the ZIP code title. Nyttend (talk) 03:06, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

To our newest Rollbacker

I have just granted you rollback rights because I believe you to be trustworthy, and because you have a history of reverting vandalism and have given in the past or are trusted in the future to give appropriate warnings. Please have a read over WP:ROLLBACK and remember that rollback is only for use against obvious vandalism. Please use it that way (it can be taken away by any admin at a moment's notice). You may want to consider adding {{Rollback}} and {{User rollback}} to your userpage. Any questions, please drop me a line. Best of luck and thanks for volunteering! upstateNYer 14:30, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

DMB music

Hello! I'm wondering why my post was deleted as "obvious spam" - as far as I can tell, the existence of a list of sheet music/songbooks on an artist's page is no different from the existence of a discography on the page. Thank you! Mikeclm (talk) 20:05, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Fair, but I'm still confused as to why the published sheet music shouldn't be included on any artist's page. Just because this is the first set of artists to do so doesn't make it a bad idea. Mikeclm (talk) 20:53, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

If an article has nothing but a link to another article or a website, it can easily be tagged for speedy deletion. Ten Pound Hammer, his otters and a clue-bat • (Otters want attention) 05:59, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
