Since the individual in question was deemed individually notable, don't you think his article should stay where it is? - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 17:22, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It was kept by the article creator, and people that are extreme inclusionists against minor league baseball players. Consensus is usually to merge them. Tag should belong. Secret account 14:16, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you find a link or diff to this consensus? I am only for redirecting player names if they are not individually notable according to WP:BIO; that is generally notable by receiving in depth coverage by independent and reliable sources. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:33, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

User: gjr_rodriguez
All of the minor league player a stubs are in their proper place, as stated in WP:Baseball. The focus is on the player, not on the roster or position. Therefore, when you click on any player, it sends you to the player profile, rather than a team roster page. Gjr rodriguez (talk) 21:18, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Tropical Storm Erick (2007)
Is Mergers for discussion really the best place for the article? According to the Wikilink, it's not even ready for use. I was told at FAR to try AFD, and now that looks like the wrong idea. It doesn't seem like there is any place to discuss an article like that, which is a shame since there are some people that disagree with its existence/featured status. Should I just continue the FAR, or should I just accept the frustration of being unable to have a complete and thorough discussion? ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk ) 13:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Mergers for discussion is the best place, because people will keep the article without commenting on the notabilty of the subject, because the process is called articles for deletion not for a merge. Usually when articles get merged in AFD, the nominator wants it to be deleted first, but here is not the case. Try your luck there and delay the FAR for now.

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects WikiProject Free images, WikiProject Fair use, WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in.

Selena's Classic Series albums
Hi. Being listed as a major contributor to the Selena article, I thought you might be able to help with this. I was bordering on an edit war with User:Crodude86 over the articles for Selena's Classic Series of albums that were released in 2006/2007 (I've seen sources listing one or the other). There are five articles for each of five volumes from the Classic Series. As stated in these articles, they are re-issues of earlier albums from Selena's teen years, remastered and available digitally (CD and download) presumably for the first time. As they are re-issues of earlier album, it was my intent to merge each Classic Series article with its original release. The rereleased versions are not necessarily notable enough for their own article and, as they are updates to original albums, I felt a merge was warranted. I was working on Volumes 1 and 2, but the changes I made to the original album articles kept getting reverted. As I created redirects from the Classic Series of albums, Crodude86 though would keep creating new articles with a new disambiguation title (from Selena album to Selena's album to Selena Quintanilla album) rather than reverting the redirects as well. This was never going to end, so I halted and decided to seek third party advice.

According to what the album articles say (as independent sources were difficult to find), the albums I'd like to see merged are:
 * Classic Series, Vol. 1 (Selena ALBUM) ---> Alpha (Selena album)
 * Classic Series, Vol. 2 (Selena ALBUM) ---> Muñequito de Trapo
 * Classic Series, Vol. 3 ---> And the Winner Is...
 * Classic Series, Vol. 4 ---> Preciosa (album)
 * Classic Series, Vol. 5 ---> Dulce Amor

I apologize for the length of my message and I hope you can help. If not, could you suggest where I can take this to? Thanks so much! --Wolfer68 (talk) 18:24, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Life in a Jar
Hi! I am a new editor and I am not sure why there is a copyright issue on the Life in a Jar page that was deleted. I would be glad to make adjustments if I understood what the problem was and where the issue has occurred. I feel Life in a Jar is a very important project and needs to be included in wikipedia's database. I wrote all of the information from my own words other than the quotes listed as being spoken or written by Irena Sendler herself. I have also asked the website owner of Life in a Jar to give permission to the use of information from the www.irenasendler.org website even though I am not sure as to which area I have used information from. I did not copy and past any information on the Life in a Jar page that I created from the website www.irenasendler.org. I would appreciate any help you could provide in solving this issue.

CISU deletion
Dear Secret, I understand what is your role, but the CISU article refers to an italian no profit organization, added to add more information in the article List of UFO organizations, the organization CISU is exactly like the British UFO Research Association web site  and like all the other organizations indicated in such article. So I really don't understand your action. Obviously the article need to be completed but I was thinking to do it from today. So now if you want you can do it now and in future. Thanks.--Abyssadventurer (talk) 07:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

It didn't claim notability, the deletion tag was placed for hours also before I deleted it. I did the favor of userfying it for you so you can work on the article, as where it stands, it fails guidelines. User:Abyssadventurer/CISU. Thanks Secret account 12:41, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Hi there.

Vandalism
I'm not sure what you mean, you're accusing me of sockpuppetry, but i've not been using other accounts to vandalize. There's someone out there following my edit history and trying to somehow frame me for vandalism. It seems that the perpetrator has succeeded in his goal. I can assure you that its not me, the user in question has made silly test edits in recent weeks to invalid wiki links on Suede band members from an I.P. address (Edits). I also noticed vandalism to the Jumper article, which i had made contributions to (Edit). They have also been following my edits to articles, which i had proposed for deletion. I actually used the wrong deletion template for those articles, without knowing so. I didn't want them to be speedy deleted, i wanted a template, which would have suggested discussion over deletion. Just incase you thought i was vandalising by misusing templates, i simply copy and pasted a template assuming it to be acceptable, obviously it wasn't. I think you'll notice from the hard work i've put into these articles that an indefinite ban would be very devastating to my reputation. I'm working hard to make articles look professional, how professional does it look if other users see that i've been accused of vandalism. I'm trying to promote certain articles for review, and i'm always making edits to articles, which are mainly music related to improve them.PhilOak (talk) 22:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

I do that with obvious essays, newly coined WP:NEOs and products/software usually, nothing else, per WP:SNOW. The software didn't claim notability at all, and google doesn't has much.

I know, I should probably offer to nom them myself, but I am just so lazy to do anything that requires much though these days. –xenotalk 21:41, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Will look I need to create two more RFAs beforehand though. Thanks Secret account 22:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

With Skywalker I don't like the blank userpage, and the removal of talk page posts without archiving. Secret account 22:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the vote of confidence, but the semi-retired tag probably won't be coming down, at least not for a long while anyway. So I don't think I'd have the time to use the tools to the community's expectations. Plus these days I'm more interested in article writing with my limited time. Thank you though.
 * On a related note, I second Xeno's recommendation of User:MrKIA11. He had a previous nomination that did not pass because of lack of experience. I'm not sure if he'd be up for another RFA though. If he is, then I'd certainly support him again as I have a lot of faith in his abilities. (Guyinblack25 talk 16:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC))

User:Csuhospitality
Hi Secret - thanks for keeping the UAA backlog clean. One quick question, I agree that there are some programs, initiatives, or institutions that we can give extra assumptions of good faith to, but I am having trouble seeing how this username doesn't violate both the promotional and the corporate / group clauses of WP:U - especially given their user page. Any thoughts? Am I just being too literal? Thanks. 7 01:01, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

I'll keep a close eye on the contribs, California State University, seems a tad harmless. Secret account 01:02, 2 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok - thank you.  7  01:03, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

MrKIA11 RFA
Sure, I'd be up for it again. I'll definitely spend more time to answer the questions, as last time I just answered them on the fly without researching the actual protocol since I didn't realize how in depth others would analyze them. The only other point that I still think might come up as opposition is the fact that I am almost exclusively involved in video game related articles, which some of the opposes seemed to mind. Besides that, I would think that it there shouldn't be any problems. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 19:00, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I must say, that intro is quite impressive. How hard was it to find those edits? Or is there a handy tool? I will work on the questions now, but I might have to finish tomorrow morning. Thanks, MrKIA11 (talk) 22:10, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Mentorship
I hope I am not intruding, but I have been looking for a mentor and found you under the list of willing adoptors, though I realize that the list is updated very rarely. I am looking for an editor well-versed in WP policies to keep an eye on me and help me better operate in non-mainspace areas, since I have been working mainly on articles and project pages for the past year and have only recently explored outside the bubble. I would also drop a few questions every once in a while and am looking for someone who won't laugh at me when they find out that I had 2 FA's and 12 DYK's without knowing what the heck a 3RR was. I am not specifically asking for you, though I would be honored, but if you could at least point me in the right direction, that would be a huge help. Mrathel (talk) 17:08, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's embarrassing. You were not the right secret:), so your name isnt on the list... and ...I'm going now. Mrathel (talk) 17:10, 3 December 2009 (UTC)


 * ? My name is on the list, if you need me to admin coach you, I'll be more than glad. Secret account 17:12, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you for taking me on. Please let me know what is expected of me from this point, as the instructions on the coaching page pretty much stop at the point where you obtain one. Mrathel (talk) 18:22, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

SineBot's signing.
Why did you revert its edit here? - Zhang He (talk) 17:21, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Was a clear bot mistake, shouldn't have used rollback though. Secret account 17:23, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * If I may ask, what's the mistake? The IP address didn't sign. - Zhang He (talk) 17:34, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The IP address when asking a question doesn't need to sign, he already mentioned the question, and who asked it. The bot placed the sig on where the answer is supposed to be as well. Secret account 17:48, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, custom is not to sign Questions on RFA. Oh, and I don't think there's any issue with rollback - bots don't (yet) have feelings to hurt. –<b style="font-family:verdana; color:black;">xeno</b><sup style="color:black;">talk 17:52, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Robert J. Coury
I see that you deleted the page on Robert J. Coury on 17 July 2006 due to vandalism. Would you please let me know what type of vandalism caused this entry to be removed? Thank you.Jennjurosco (talk) 20:08, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

It was general nonsense, nothing at all about the subject. Thanks Secret account 21:28, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Abd rollback right
Hi Secret - just curious as to why you've chosen to revoke this right at this time. Abd is currently banned from editing, but he hasn't abused rollback by any means (that I'm aware of, although I welcome a clarification). Since his ban expires in about 10 days, I wondered why you had chosen now to revoke it. Not planning on reversing it, or even expecting you to revert yourself - just wondering :) Fritzpoll (talk) 22:28, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Bleh I thought disruptive editors don't get rollback and such, I removed it from socks, etc. Add if you want. Thanks Secret account 22:38, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
