Enterprise episodes
Hi. I highly commend you for adding all the Enterprise episode pics etc. Just one little thing though, could you please use a lowercase 'e' for the word 'episode', i.e. "... (Enterprise episode)", to maintain the standard. Thanks! Marky1981 23:16, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Hi again. I removed some of the ENT navigation templates from the bottom of the page because they seemed redundant once the ST episode template was added. The ST episode template has links to the previous and next episodes, so it seemed pointless having the separate navigation one too. I thought it would help too as it means less episode links to correct. Marky1981 10:50, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Elwood Buchanan
Hi. You recently nominated the Elwood Buchanan article for deletion. I've since done quite a bit of work on it and wondered if you might like to give it another look. Thanks. Perodicticus 18:15, 29 December 2005 (UTC)

suggested deletion of golden age hip hop
lemme explain why this deserves an article:


 * 1) Allmusic.com recognizes golden age as a genre
 * 2) Old school hip hop has its own page.
 * 3) There is plenty to talk about, of encyclopedic significance.

Please remove the suggestion for deletion, or if you disagree, discuss this with me. Thanks! --Urthogie 14:44, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

These reasons (above) are why I think it should be kept. You can also find them pasted on the aFd.--Urthogie 15:16, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

University of Tennessee's Alumni Memorial Gym
Are you American? Tennessee is a top university! The facility in question was their man indoor athletic facility from 1934-1987. It deserves to be chronicled. Please see my prior work on college athletics. WillC 18:10, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

One More Chance
I didnt know that there was a section for One More Chance, but thank you. Although there is a section, I was going to make my own about the incomplete video. That whole section I put there under videography was for info about the videos and not the singles. But thank you very much for telling me there was a section for One More chance.

Angels
Thank you for your concern! You see, the pages where I got the information aren't directly on the information I took from them. What do I do about that? - Brittany

heya
could you check golden age hip hop again? looks much better...might consider removing the vfd! thx, --Urthogie 17:28, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

thanks for keep vote. article still needs a lot of work, for sure (id love if youd help). im going to do a search for the phrase golden age hip hop on wikipedia, and try to fix any falsehoods. if you know of any pages that contribute to the obscurity of the term, please notify me. you'll also notice that i have removed the confusion and inaccuracy from old school hip hop that was causing some confusion over eras of hip-hop. from what ive read about the golden age, according to academics, golden age rappers, and historians, are estimates that deviate only by 1 year for when it began(1986 and 1987) and i'm yet to see an encyclopedic source get anything other than 1993 for its end. I'm hoping to make hip-hop on wikipedia a lot better. if you want to help, tell me, i got a lot i could use help with. thanks (and thanks for the afd, it got me to work quick on that article) --Urthogie 18:02, 4 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, you recently voted Delete on an article which has subsequently undergone revsion, to the extent that the nominator has withdrawn his nomination. You might wish to (or not of course) take a look at that revison. Dan 23:47, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I see you use an image from Star Trek in your signature. However, this image does not comply with the fair use criteria when used in a signature, or any way unrelated to the image itself. Could you please remove this image from your signature. Cheers! [[Sam Korn ]] 12:17, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

The Long Goodbye
Hey there. I just wanted to mention to you that The Long Goodbye and The Long Goodbye (film) are two seperate articles. I seperated them and added to the film version. Then someone put the movie info back on the book page making it look redundant. If you look at both now, you will see they are two seperate things. Steve-O 22:40, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Template:User-AmE-0
As I'm sure you know, user templates are opinions shared by several members of Wikipedia. They are templates employed on individual user pages only, and do not claim to represent the official shared position of the Wikipedia collective. Still, some self-appointed dictators feel it is their responsibility to control individual expression on user pages. Template:User-AmE-0, for example, was deleted by User:Kelly Martin; after being recreated, it was tagged for deletion by User:DreamGuy and its category removed by User:Carbonite. There are but a few people who want to control personal expression on user pages at Wikipedia and hundreds of us who do not want these few to succeed. In standing together to revert tyranny, despotism and censorship of individual expression on our personal pages, we can easily overcome these dictator-wanna-bees. Wikipedia can be for the people. Please help us oppose those in the Arbitration Committee Elections who would turn Wikipedia into a dictatorship of controlled articles and user pages: Kelly Martin, Jpgordon, Fred Bauder, James F., Jayjg, and Mindspillage.

If you feel passionately about this, you can join us in alerting other users of these individual tags, that their personal expression on their user pages is being censored by people like User: Carbonite. To help, just go to any of the templates that User:Carbonite has tried to change, and alert the people in those categories that they are not alone in their outrage and opposition. -- لæmäļ al diη 21:47, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Five_year_old_mother
Just a note - before putting 5 different cleanup, etc tags on an unwikified article that's that big, do a Google search for a random phrase in it. That page was a straight copy-paste from Snopes, which has a pretty glaring copyright notice at the bottom of its page. I changed it to a copyvio and added it to the list. --└Smith120bh/TALK┐ 22:06, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/The second dimension
I refer to the above AFD discussion, where you voted speedy delete. As a regular participator in deletion discussions, I suspect you are aware of the criteria for speedy deletion, so I would appreciate if you could clarify which criterion you feel the site meets, and/or tag The second dimension with the relevant db tag.

WP:CSD
Hi. I've heard there was a recent change regarding WP:CSD which says that not adhering to WP:BAND is a criteria for speedy delete. Where is that mentioned? I swear I saw it somewhere but now I can't find it. BTW, you voted on one of my Afd's in case you're wondering why I asked you in particular. :)  Thanks!  —Wknight94 (talk) 19:03, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Ahhhh, I bet that "special" page you mentioned is what I was thinking of. I remember something specifically mentioning the CSD policy change and now it's gone - but I had no idea where it was.  Do you know what the name of this special page is?  Thanks again!  —Wknight94 (talk) 01:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Stevie Ray Vaughan
Hi, you recently implied that the articles I have started for Stevie Ray Vaughan's Texas Flood album's songs might be nominated for deletion. Although I have not provided extensive information on the songs themselves, the album is a pillar for the revival of blues in the 1980s. Many other albums have similar song-related stubs that I consider weren't nearly as influencial as this album. Also, I created a Stevie Ray Vaughan Songs category and hopefully this will be allowed to be filled with further information on the rest of his songs as well. Naturrien 18:37, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/G-Men(Slang)
Could you please revisit and reconsider based on my comment on the AFD discussion page? - Mgm|(talk) 11:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Copyright problems with Image:Armando iannucci.jpg
An image that you uploaded, Image:Armando iannucci.jpg, has been listed at Copyright problems because it is a suspected copyright violation. Please look there if you know that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia (you may have to search for the title of the image to find its entry), and then provide the necessary information there and on its page, if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you.

Edit conflicts
Heh. I don't mind one edit conflict, but I just got two in a row with you while trying to extend Pukehou! Grutness...wha?  23:40, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
 * :) No problem. I was just adding a bit of information quickly but stopped to look up what the place-name meant, so took a bit longer editing it than I thought. Then we both did the same thing and remembered to stub and categorise it. At least it looks like a "keeper" now! Grutness...wha?  00:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Best Friends...Different Personalities
Since you originally prodded it, thought you might like to know that Best Friends...Different Personalities is now at AfD.

Articles for deletion/Best Friends... Different Personalities NickelShoe 13:01, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I like prodding for that purpose too, but the person removed the tag without really improving the article and someone stuck it back on. So it was either AfD or deprod again, and with a 2008 TV show, I thought AfD was proper. NickelShoe 18:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Catholic Bible Contradictions
Ive never read any religious journals. The protestant case is given (albeit crudely) in Understanding Catholicism - Rick Jones. This is available online at www.chick.com. Cannonical catholic objections are harder to come by as the vatican is notorious for keeping silent about controversies. The debate really centres on whether god gave his authority to the church. This comes down to the interperetation of a bible verse - ill let you know when i find out which one - where jesus says he will build his church on the rock, catholics say the rock was peter (the first pope), protestants say it was jesus himself.

Your RFA
Hi! I've just been to check up on my own RFA, and discovered that you're the latest poor innocent plucky individual to be listed. I must admit you're one of the people I thought was already an admin; I've written "per (aeropagitica)" I think twice today already on AFD.

However, one thing bothers me. You've been with us since 2004 and yet you have a mere 10 edits to the Talk namespace, and none at all to Wikipedia talk?! --kingboyk 01:08, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

AFD Discussion
Regarding the article on CybOrgasMatrix, your vote was for deletion based on non-notability and the view that it was an advertisement. I don't know if you are watching the article or the AFD discussion at Articles_for_deletion/CybOrgasMatrix, but it was re-written, due in part to your input. Thank you. The word count was reduced by 1/3, and intensifiers were removed. You may attribute that to an abundance of zeal for the invention, and that has no place here. The edited article is more consistent with NPOV standards on that account. Since the review will be closing soon, your opinion with regard to the new Adjective and Adverb Lite version would be helpful.

With regard to notability, the discussion page links to a 15-second video clip that speaks to that issue (you have to scroll down the Keep entry to find the link). If you are moved to watch it, the 2 things that make the invention notable should be apparent. If I could conceive of a more effective way to communicate the distinction short of seeing and touching the thing yourself I would do so.

Alternatively, it has been suggested that the article be merged with Sex doll. After due consideration of the above, your views on this would be appreciated. If you ARE watching the discussion, I apologize. Please feel free to blank this. --Esoterik1 08:10, 5 March 2006 (UTC)

Congratulations!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 04:49, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

St Mungos Primary School
Hi! In regards to my addition of a CSD notice to St Mungos Primary School, I agree with you that an article on the topic would be warranted. However, the article that there is worse than a stub - it appears to be almost completely meaningless. Furthermore, naming convention would place the article more correctly at St Mungo's Primary School, especially since that is how it's apparently officially spelled. Furthermore, a majority of the article is POV, since "one of the best schools in Glasgow" is highly subjective. The obvious error "patron stain og glasgow" which should probably be "patron saint of Glasgow" gives the impression that this article was not created seriously. These are my reasons for the CSD notice. If you are willing to rewrite the article and add more information, by all means please do so. But as the article is, I really do think that CSD-G1 applies. Hope that clears things up a bit. &mdash; flamingspinach | (talk) 05:58, 11 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That's exactly what I meant - great example of responsible inclusionism! ^_^ I made a couple of changes as well. Looks like this article is on its way up. :) Cheers. &mdash; flamingspinach | (talk) 22:08, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

AFD closing - heads-up
Hi, I noticed that you are a new admin closing several afds, hence this heads-up. You must not close an afd unless it is five days old. You have closed several afds that were initiated on 8 March by 11 March, which is considered as highly unacceptable. This is akin to closing an rfa within 3 or 5 days, instead of waiting for a week. This does not apply, of course, for speedy deletes. --Gurubrahma 15:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Syntax error my friend, # REDIRECT is not #REDIRECT, that's what happened. Were you recently promoted to admin, for some reason my bots list didn't show you as an admin whereas the db clearly shows elsewise, I've added you to the list. It's a manual one and its easy enough for that to happen, it won't revert admins normally but because you were not on the list it did. Sorry about that. -- Tawker 18:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

AfD Question
I see you closed up the AfD discussion for All-Wrestling_Talk, but you did not delete the article in question. Is there a reason for it still being up? Sorry, but I don't fully know all the deletion policies that there are. Thanks.

The Future Party
Hi mate. Unless I'm missing something, you closed Articles for deletion/The Future Party but didn't actually delete it?

I just came across the article in Category:Candidates for speedy deletion and was in the process of userfying it when I noticed that the speedy tag said "deleted in AFD" but the deletion log showed no such thing :~ I'm not complaining or owt, it's just thrown me a little bit.

Anyway, this is a clear userfy-to-be-nice situation, it's a school kid's project so I'll move it over and zap the redirect. --kingboyk 10:11, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I'm new too but it's fairly obvious that if you close a debate as delete you have to delete the article! :P I suspect you're closing in batches. Close one at a time. Close, act, close, act. Every debate closed requires an action, be it removing the AFD tag and putting a notice on the Talk page that the article survived AFD, or deleting the article and (where necessary) checking and removing incoming links. --kingboyk 10:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

You ought to check what links here for deleted articles anyway, in which case the redirect would show up there. It's no bother I'll zap it now. You don't need to reply, just a headsup. --kingboyk 04:38, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Dakota Bar and Grill Article
Hi, you posted that the article i just started Dakota bar and Grill does not meet standards. I just began the article, and unfortunially (or mabye i just dont know how to) you can work on an article without it being posted (like working on a website "off-line"). Perhaps you can give me some specific information about what is missing and how i could make the article better. Also, i dont know anything about categories, so perhaps you could assist me in that domain. Please keep in mind that wiki's articles are works in progess. THanks--Geppy 18:51, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Lynn Angell
Hi, I saw the note you left on User talk:Chris24 regarding the above article. You were right of course, but when I saw that this article was newly created, I recalled seeing a list of 9/11 victims somewhere else on Wikipedia. I started to poke around and this is what I found:, and more specifically, and. I thought you might like to know about this; I was surprised to find it! I guess this is an exception to WP:BIO? If so, do you think this exception should be noted on WP:BIO? Perhaps we can somehow improve the links to it so that it will be more accessible and head off duplicate articles in the future? When searching from the Main Page, these articles are not found. Regards, Accurizer 23:45, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Re: Lynn Angell
Hello! I know about the 9/11 wiki. The reason why you can't find it from the main page of the English wiki is that it is a different wiki. Different rules apply to that wiki, I imagine. WP:BIO stands for the English WP and this negates in memoriam articles. You can point the author of the above article towards that Wiki with an explanation regarding its aims and objectives being different to the English wiki and suggest that it might be a better place to mention Ms Angell. In fact, I think that I will copy this correspondance on to his Talk page. Regards,  (aeropagitica)   23:52, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/The JMA Show
Hi, can you take a look at this AfD? Usual procedure with a delete consensus is to delete the article (to get rid of the history) and, if out of process recreation is anticipated, add the ❌ template. Probably doesn't seem like a big deal but getting rid of the history of deleted articles is important for clarity should future issues arise, and perhaps for legal reasons as well. And thanks for helping out with closing AfDs! --W.marsh 00:44, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Good point! This is something that I neglected to do with this article, so thank you for pointing it out to me.
