The user removed your afd tag, though in this case it may make sense to stick with speedy; it's already been deleted several times, and doesn't have a prayer in AFD.  OhNo itsJamie Talk 23:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject U.S. Supreme Court cases
If the project is sleeping my advice is to wake it up! Make it your own - find people who work on SCOTUS cases and message them to get involved (or re-involved) in the project! As for the infoboxes, those really are more friendly to lawyers than lay persons, but we should also strive for consistency. Mention your concern to Postdlf, as he has been most involved in them, and start a conversation on the topic on the aforementioed project's talk page. Cheers! BD2412 T 13:04, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Withdrawing on AFD
You more-or-less did so already, but if you just write "I'd like to withdraw the nomination" or something similar, that should do it. -Hit bull, win steak 18:48, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I deprodded this an userfied it. You can be bold and just do that kind of thing yourself... but if you want something to end up with some other fate than deletion, WP:PROD really isn't the best way to go about it, because it always ends in deletion. I'm going to mark the redirect for speedy deletion now. Cheers! Mango juice talk 20:49, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk: Boxipuss
This page does appear in yahoo and if you took more time before jumping to a conclusion you might of realised that it was up for deletion but then was unselected following a discussion.

Hypno-Chip Article
Hypno-Chip can't be it's own article, but Energo sword and Wash'n'Roll can? Dr Archeville 19:17, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I did merge Hypno-Chip rather quickly after you created it. It might merit a stand-alone if it had more content, IMHO. Were you planning on adding more? I wouldn't object to recreating the page if you're going to expand upon it. As to the other articles you mentioned, I didn't notice them when I merged Hypno-Chip. Seeing them now, I'd say that the Energo Sword article could be safely merged into Dinobots, but the Wash'n'Roll article better stands alone. --Chaser (T) 19:41, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Regarding deletion of article on N.Nagaraja (M.T.B.)
I would like to comment on what RHaworth has told regarding MTB Nagaraj. Please go to google search and type in MTB Nagaraj you will get latest information about him. B.N.BacheGowda has been defeated in the 2004 Assembly election in Hoskote Constituency which comes under Bangalore District North. But Mr.RHaworth Sir has told that a web page has mentioned that B.N.BacheGowda has won, yes it is true but it was in 1999 Assembly election and not in 2004 assembly election as said by the author. And Regarding leaving space after fullstop it will be corrected and I am sorry for the same. I hope now the things will be cleared.

SCOTUS Project
Hey,

Though I've been inactive for quite some time due to work and school involvement, it's summertime, and I am ready to dive back into the swing of things. I've already begun writing up the Garcetti_v._Ceballos opinion that has just issued (though I should probably slap a maintenace template onto the page to that effect), and I am looking forward to contributing more. I've skimmed the new talk page over at the SCOTUS Project, but I'll confess that I have not had time to read it thoroughly. Have you guys reached a concensus on what constitutes proper formatting?

At any rate, I look forward to working with you guys. Please let me know if there are any collaborative projects I could lend a hand with. Cheers. RidG Talk 00:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Awesome! I took the initiative of sticking a note on the empty Garcetti page. We haven't figured out format, but by all means, join the discussion. I'd say either the one up there now or the "sample outline" referenced on the talk page would do nicely. --Chaser (T) 02:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for putting up the notice, but it looks like someone else has already done a decent job of writing up the opinion. Oh well. I guess I'll work on the dissent.
 * It looks like in absence of others, you are leading the SCOTUS project, so I wanted to ask briefly what you had in mind for the project's future. I like the idea about the US Govt. portals, and I would be happy to help with that. Is there anything else you had in mind?


 * Mainly just a place to establish and maintain standards for consistency of articles and serve as a group to-do list. Also, the templates are helpful. I didn't have any big visions. If you like the portal idea, you should voice your support here. --Chaser (T) 06:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

Dataworks Plus AfD
Hang on, nevermind my message below. It seems I can edit sections but am not able to edit entire articles. I have entered my vote, and I see VeriPic is a redlink so presumably someone has caught it already. Zunaid 07:37, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi. For some bizarre reason I cannot edit any pages on Wikipedia (Firefox and IE both keep prompting me to "save" or "open" any files with a .php extension instead of processing it properly like they used to). Could you please enter my vote into the Afd debate? p.s. VeriPic (capital P) should now be speedily deleted as a duplicate of an already deleted article, could you please do the nomination? The DPM into DAM merge will likely find no objectors so you could probably merge it and cut the adcruft after say a week. Thanks!

User talk:ShortJason/Publicity
I posted a new proposal at User talk:ShortJason/Publicity that would allow users to opt-in to RfA alerts, and specify the nominees they would be interested in.

 * Thanks. Why didn't you just change it? --Chaser (T) 07:42, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * 2 reasons. I wasn't sure if you knew it was there and thought it should stay and I was fixing the link at Moose Lake, Manitoba to avoid the redirect. And of course fixing my inability to correctly spell Manitoba at Lamb Air, which for some reason I keep spelling Manitobia. I should make a redirect for that just for me. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 07:48, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * lol, a redirect just for you. i concur. thanks for asking me, but it seems like the kind of thing you could be bold about and do yourself. anyway, cheers and happy editing! --Chaser (T) 07:50, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

About the Category:Wikipedia Sock Puppet Master
From the CfD for Category:Wikipedia Sock Puppet Master. I hope you can clear this up. I am interested in what potential for abuse is, it is just not clear to me. I am willing to happily admit that the category is not necessary to the function of wikipedia and if it is a threat to wikipedia should be promptly deleted, but I can not see clearly what the threat or potential for abuse would be. Thanks, blue520 02:42, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi, can you reconsider the withdrawal. I was about to change my comment from week keep to delete, the only reason that I am a part of the category as it was associated with the now deleted Template:User Puppet Master (the user box) here is the deletion log. I can now see besides being non necessary there is a good chance that it will be used by disruptive users or users who intend to disrupt. --blue520 05:51, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Teams sponsored by NIKE
You said that this page "Teams sponsored by NIKE" needed to be changed to List of Teams sponsored by NIKE.. Im the creator of that page, and I made a new article List of teams sponsored by Nike. I hope you are happy now. --Yu5uF 15:31, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * To me, the main issue right now is whether it should even be kept. I proposed it's deletion because I thought it was listcruft, or an indiscriminate list of information with little use to readers. Since it's a proposed deletion, you can remove the notice within five days of its placement to prevent deletion. Of course, I would then take it to Articles for deletion, where it would get discussed (and you could defend it) before an administrator decides if it should be deleted. I'm sorry I don't think the page you contributed to the encyclopedia is valuable. It is nothing personal, though it inevitably sometimes feels that way.--Chaser T 19:36, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

BetandWin
Hey dude, remember you thought I was acting in bad faith writting about casinoroom.com on another page and we decided that "if casinoroom is wholly owned by betandwin, it ought to be written about on that page" well since then I've been writting about or at least trying to write about HoldemPoker, (yes if you hadn't guessed by now I like,love Poker, write about what your passionate right?, by the way cool article about the erie canal!) anyhow everytime I simply write a short pargraph about HoldemPoker which is a brand ran by Ongame, just like casinoroom or pokerroom, someone called 2005 simply removes it, I dont understand why, surrely the whole point of wikipedia is to be as consice as we can be about everything right? HoldemPoker is another brand, deleting it because it belongs to a larger company is nonscence right? It would be like deleting a part of Lincoln because it belongs to Ford right? Anyway can you help/suggest anything, thx! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidlightman (talk • contribs)
 * The problem is any new page on a gambling website is likely to fail a notability guideline, Notability (web). I'd recommend reading the guideline thorougly, doing a first draft of any new page in an outside text editor first, and then posting it to wikipedia if you really think it meets the guideline and evidence of that is in the article itself. Otherwise, it's likely to be deleted. If the website is part of a bigger company, consider adding mention of the website to the company's article.--Chaser T 19:14, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

 * Take a deep breath and wait a day or two...
 * I was requested to create a template for characters and went ahead and created the stubs as well. Michiru for example is very important to the plot of the anime and has apeared in multiple episodes...

Regarding ; yes, WP:BITE was actually a concern of mine while doing the nom. I assume you of course are referring to User:Nick Warburton, the author of the bios; Wild Cherries has been around for almost a year. I considered for a bit and decided not to confront the user; the nomination is directed towards an article he/she did not write, so there's less pressure towards him/her feeling as if he/she did something wrong, and also the account has been registered for two months, which I figure is enough time for him/her to at least venture into projectspace once or twice. Didn't think a jumpstart into getting a taste of process would be a bad idea; might even be encouraging. Just my thoughts. ~ PseudoSudo 08:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

YOU HAVE SERIOUS PROBLEMS
PLEASE DO NOT MESS WITH Diet Sunkist Orange Soda. I AM STILL WORKING ON IT!

Redirecting it to regular Sunkist defeats the entire purpose of making the article.


 * Excuse me?! How rude of you! I made a perfectly reasonable redirect (I note that Diet Dr. Pepper also redirects, despite its unique advertising campaign) and then notified you of the change. Redirecting doesn't defeat the purpose at all if the content is properly merged (which I linked to for you). You are hereby warned to be civil.--Chaser T 17:24, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
