Thanks![edit]

Thanks for your good work on the new page patrol. At least for the article you beat me to marking as speedy. Without you, wikipedia would become a facebook for 10 year olds! Keep up the good work. Chris Kreider 01:22, 9 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excessive Speedy Tags[edit]

If you continue placing Speedy Tags like many of those you have placed in the last hour, you will be blocked. Go re-read WP:CSD & contact me to demonstrate you are becoming more competant in this area.

_ _ Thanks. I have to confess that what drew my attention to you initially is technically an accurate A3 Speedy request, tho IMO

pages in lists that are too long for a single page should be subject to the same exception as Dabs,
it is an oversight that they are not, and
we probably can correct that oversight before much time passes.

_ _ That being said, some of the others are on worthless articles that nevertheless do not qualify. (On both counts, the cactus-sex article comes quickly to mind. It's non-notable and unverifiable (IMO), and indeed unencyclopedic as it stands. However, none of those fits under CSD as far as i can see. {{ProD}} would probably be a good approach to them.

_ _ I'm going to go thru critiquing some of the more recent ones. I think they most likely reflect enthusiastically excessive zeal, and no probability of reflecting badly on your ability to contribute constructively here. And i hope my initial sense of urgency doesn't discourage you from wanting to do so.
--Jerzy•t 04:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, well, stuff happens. When you goof, the next step is to ungoof. No big deal AFAI can see so far.

_ _ Just getting started, but there's now at my deletion log an entry for the first deletion i have carried out pursuant to your nominations. Conversely, if you view your own contribs page, you'll notice the ones where i (or anyone else remove) tags (or work further on the article) will no longer show with your contribution as "(top)" (i.e., the most recent) one; i've also done fewer than a handful of those so far, but i expect more in each of those areas. IMO it's a cleanup/followup job worth my undertaking in any case; it may, or not, be useful to you to review them as feedback -- you be the judge of that.

_ _ For the moment, i'm going to follow up on the "Hang On" tags i added to the empty LoPbN pages (including retracting my statement that they didn't qualify as empty!), and you probably won't see much action from me in the next 24 hours.
--Jerzy•t 05:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

_ _ Well, from your contribs page, it appears that none of your last night's speedy nom's remain untouched: i didn't make a count last night, but it looks like you and others changed some to ProDs (as i did w/ one), and some were deleted (as i did w/one) and therefore not easily located: articles that one edits disappear from one's contribs if & when they are deleted. I intended to offer opinions on more of them, and have you able to count the deletions in my deletion log, but you-all seem to have gotten it done. While i saw some pretty bad ones, i saw some justified ones as well; FWIW my vague impression is that the bad and justified ones were roughly comparable in number.

_ _ I should, finally, note that my comment abt "excessive speedy tags" was badly worded; i was trying to imply in excess of the number the group of tagged pages deserved, and i would better have said something like "many under-justified tags". I hope i haven't put you off tagging for speedy deletion; the willingness to review new articles for that purpose is a welcome resource for the project, and i have every expectation that better circumstances and more experience will get you as close to on track as most of us are. (BTW, i make a point to carry out, in the cases of criteria that are more judgements and less objective, only speedy deletions that others have nominated; i find that my A7s are often rejected, and i'm trying to move straight to ProD with more of the ones that i sense others will question.)

_ _ Well, i trust you'll keep up the good work. And thanks again for your receptive attitude to my intervention, which in the heat of the, uh "spree", was none too gentle. I'm not sorry for coming on strong in light of the intensity of your immediately preceding work, but i'm comforted by my sense that you've managed to put what i said into the context it deserved. Thanks again.

Speedy Deletion of NG2[edit]

I already stated my arguments against your "speedy deletion" recommendation for the article NG2. Be sure to check them out. Thief12 22:49, 12 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully this is the last of me being 'in it' for last night...Aaargh! Apologies. Makron1n 01:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Response to deletion of information in article "wiggler" on November 2006[edit]

Excuse me! I'm sorry if the truths of my changes conflict with your opinions on this article. If there is something that I wrote that you did not understand, I will be happy to explain my reasons. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jthminion (talk • contribs) 03:03, 15 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Dinosaur Adventure Park[edit]

A "{{prod}}" template has been added to the article Dinosaur Adventure Park, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Fair use rationale for Image:Q2guard.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Q2guard.jpg. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. 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 any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Until (1 == 2) 05:07, 12 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Tyrannosaurus in popular culture[edit]

An article that you have been involved in editing, Tyrannosaurus in popular culture, has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tyrannosaurus in popular culture. Thank you. -- Jreferee ^(Talk) 18:08, 14 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Disputed fair use rationale for Image:Q2tank.jpg[edit]

Thanks for uploading Image:Q2tank.jpg. However, there is a concern that the rationale you have provided for using this image under "fair use" may be invalid. Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted within a couple of days according to our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot (talk) 06:51, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
