Articles for deletion/Aneta Langerová
Hello ChromaNebula. I quite agree with you that the article needs improvements, but it is really not a deletion candidate. I'm Czech and I can tell you that in the past few years she repeatedly appeared in all important media in my country. I initially thought this must be disruptive nomination, but I understand that the bad shape of the article might be of concern for some editors. Anyway, the article is definitely fixable and Langerová is a notable personality. May I suggest you to withdraw the nomination? --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 16:27, 23 February 2012 (UTC)


 * It's me again. If you nominate articles for deletion, don't forget to search for reliable references outside of Wikipedia. When considering potential of a topic, I often check Google News, Google News Archives (now merged with G-News, but still available, see - it is a very useful news search!), Google Books and other methods/search engines. It depends on the topic and on the content of the page. Hope that helps, and please, don't hesitate to ask me if you have any questions. We all make mistakes from time to time :) --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 11:54, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Removing AfD template
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Aneta Langerová. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. This is an automated message from a bot about, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it. Snotbot  t &bull; c &raquo;  04:53, 24 February 2012 (UTC)
 * I withdrew my own nomination, therefore my template removal was perfectly proper. I'll cut you slack, though, because you're a bot and don't know any better. ChromaNebula (talk) 23:58, 24 February 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion
Hello ChromaNebula, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Not blatantly an attack page or negative, unsourced BLP. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 14:25, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * It was an April Fool's joke. Can't we have some fun one day a year? C h r o m a Nebula   (talk)   14:28, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Please stop vandalizing the encyclopedia. No, it is not funny.  It takes us weeks of work to clean up after every April Fools Day.  Rossami (talk) 15:02, 1 April 2012 (UTC)

Moving a page under discussion
Please do not rename an article while there is an active discussion regarding the article's name, as you did to Great Storms of the North American Great Lakes. Moving a page in the middle of the discussion is confusing to everyone. Powers T 14:27, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I moved the page before the discussion started. C h r o m a Nebula   (talk)   23:43, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid you're mistaken; if you look at the page history, you can see I started the discussion a day and a half before you moved the page. Powers T 00:13, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * No, I am your father. Ha ha! Just kidding. But seriously, I clearly remember starting the deletion discussion. My name is on the nomination that I started yesterday -- 00:50, 12 April 2012 (UTC) as copied from the nomination page. I'm trying to be civil here. However, either you're mistaken or you're just pulling my leg.  C h r o m a Nebula   (talk)   02:01, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I said "active discussion regarding the article's name" (emphasis added). I was talking about the requested move found at Talk:Great Storms of the North American Great Lakes.  You must have seen that discussion because you moved the page to the exact title I proposed.  Powers T 18:00, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I didn't see the "regarding the article's name" part. I thought you meant the deletion discussion. Anyway, I made the move based on a request at WP: RM by an IP user who couldn't move the page him/herself-check the page's history. I was not aware about the discussion on the talk page. Please assume good faith.  C h r o m a Nebula   (talk)   21:04, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I made no assumption of bad faith; I was merely asking you not to move pages that are under discussion. I did not realize an IP user had made the request because you did not mention the IP user in your edit summary; had you done so, I would have mentioned it to the IP user instead.  (Do you know what the IP was?  I would like to leave a reminder for that user as well.)  However, I should point out that it's good practice to check the talk page for active discussions before executing a move request.  Thanks for your understanding.  Powers T 16:00, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. I didn't know that. C h r o m a Nebula   (talk)   16:48, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

RMs
Hi ChromaNebula, and thanks for taking care of moves at WP:RM. When you move a page as the result of a discussion, remember to also remove the requested move/dated template from the talk page so that the bot knows to delist the article at the RM page. Regards, Jafeluv (talk) 09:25, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Premature article renaming
I have reverted your renaming of the Nice article. Renaming an article when a discussion is in progress (Talk:Nice) is generally a bad idea, and considering the emerging consensus against renaming, it's really bad. In the future, please wait until a full week has passed before attempting to move the article. Favonian (talk) 15:34, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

Premature move
Hello - I reverted your move of Dynamic braking to Dynamic braking (locomotive). The move request had just been made, and we give those discussions at least a week before closing. I see you've moved several other articles early recently. Once a move request has started, please give it its full seven days. Thanks. Dohn joe (talk) 17:23, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012
This is your only warning; if you move a page that is undergoing a naming discussion again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Joja lozzo  18:52, 20 April 2012 (UTC)

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Wikipedia. I will never, ever perform a requested move again. It's just not worth it. C h r o m a Nebula  (talk)   20:28, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * I agree. It's not so simple. I always leave it for someone who knows what they're doing. Joja  lozzo  20:34, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, that's what I do! 24.211.222.87 (talk) 14:40, 7 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 8


A tag has been placed on Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/TenPoundHammer 8, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

No indication that the (<200 edit contributor) discussed this with TPH, I have left a note on TPH's talk page, as such as well.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. kelapstick(bainuu) 22:17, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Please don't nominate someone for adminship unless you ask them first. I know damn well i'm too blunt and coarse to ever be admin material. Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 22:31, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

Hubbard copyvio thing
Forgotten what it was now... Yes, that's a reasonable way to deal with it. Don't know why no-one else found the source. It's a close call, actually. Both posted on the same day - but I feel sure that the goldenagestories is the original - you don't write something on Wikipedia and then copy it into a blog. It has links to Wikipedia articles (and other places), but doesn't acknowledge that the text came from here as it should if copied from here. If they can show that it was the other way round, I'll put it back. Copyright tip: if you find a clear copyvio that's only part of an article, you can delete the copyvio - but it's a good idea to contact an admin to get it properly hidden. We can do something in between the ordinary delete (which everyone can still see in diffs) and Oversight (which even admins can't get at). User:Moonriddengirl is possibly the top copyright person here, so see her about really sticky ones. Also, TPH is right about not starting RfAs without agreement. I think you're right about the candidate, though... Peridon (talk) 12:06, 27 April 2012 (UTC)

Arbitration
Before starting an arbitration case, it would be wise to attempt some form of dispute resolution. Also, the involved editor is, not. --auburn pilot  talk  23:00, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

Request for arbitration
Your request for arbitration has been declined. Various preliminary steps in dispute resolution were suggested by some of the arbitrators. For the Arbitration Committee Alexandr Dmitri (talk) 15:49, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Domaine de Baron'arques
Hello ChromaNebula. Please, never do this again. I guess you know what I'm talking about, ask for a more thorough explanation if not. Thanks for your understanding. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 06:28, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I thought a bit more about it, and I realize that it could be an unintentional mistake on your part. Please, check your additions to discussions carefully. --Vejvančický (talk | contribs) 13:31, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

I was foolish, and I'm sorry. I withdrew the nomination, and I offer you (well, everyone) an apology cookie. Thanks. C h r o m a Nebula  (talk)   15:32, 6 June 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, it's not harmful to have some debate about the merits of an article and as a positive the discussion has uncovered a number of sources that were not listed at the time of the nomination and can be used to improve either the article, or the section if it ends up being merged. Camw (talk) 19:48, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Fox Attacks
Hi, I saw your non-admin closure. I'd like you to revert that closure based on the discussion I had with the previous closing administrator here. Thank you. Thargor Orlando (talk) 22:19, 23 March 2014 (UTC)
 * I've opted for DRV in your absence. Thargor Orlando (talk) 18:16, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Removing AfD template
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Fox Attacks. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. This is an automated message from a bot about, where you removed the deletion template from an article before the deletion discussion was complete. If this message is in error, please report it.— cyberbot I NotifyOnline 20:28, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Your signature
Hi ChromaNebula, sorry to bug you about this, but you might not realize that your signature can be a bit difficult to read. Specifically, the "r" and "Nebula", as well as possibly the "(talk)". These are all close enough to the default skin or common custom background colors that they aren't read easily (on this page, the "r" is almost invisible to me, and I have no problems with color vision). While WP:CONTRAST is primarily intended for articlespace, it provides some useful guidance. You might want to try tweaking the colors you use a bit to be more compliant with the suggested WCAG guidelines. Thanks! —/M endaliv /2¢/Δ's/ 00:45, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
