Dota
Thanks a lot for fixing the typo of micro vs not micro. You are absolutely right that I meant to say that Dota was very micro intensive. Dan Slotman 19:00, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikimania 2010 could be coming to Stockholm!
I'm leaving you a note as you may be interested in this opportunity.

People from all six Nordic Wiki-communities (sv, no, nn, fi, da and is) are coordinating a bid for Wikimania 2010 in Stockholm. I'm sending you a message to let you know that this is occurring, and over the next few months we're looking for community support to make sure this happens! See the bid page on meta and if you like such an idea, please sign the "supporters" list at the bottom. Tack (or takk), and have a wonderful day! Mike H. Fierce! 08:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Matrix Template Library
Hi decltype,

Thank you for your warm welcome. From your name I deduce something about the future of C++. ;-) I added two references and hope it makes the entry more reliable. If there is something more to do for improving the notability of the entry please let me know. Toterbaum (talk) 13:45, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm very happy every time I see someone make a good C++-related contribution :). Revisiting the article, there is no problem related to notability as far as I can see. But if you feel like it, I encourage you to further expand and improve the article. An illustrative code example would be great. decltype 14:06, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Recent speedy deletion of a certain spam site
It was not wrong to tag it as an G11, but call it somekind of ..."I've always done it like that, and for talk-pages I use G8" kind of thing. Both of them are General speedy deletes. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar (talk) 13:40, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's what I thought. Thanks for your insight. decltype (talk) 14:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)


 * And another thing: could you drop by at WP:PNT from time to time..sometimes we have articles in Nynorsk or Bokmal that would need appraising. Lectonar (talk) 13:42, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. Though I must admit that I have a hard time imagining a Norwegian article appearing on English Wikipedia for any reason but a mistake, or vandalism :) decltype (talk) 14:13, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, it is quite common...someone just pasting the article from one of the Norvegian wikis over here. We also get vandalism, but if it is short, someone can usually weed it out. Anyway, have a nice day...and thanks. Lectonar (talk) 14:21, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, please recheck the revertion of my contribution. It was really time consuming and all is now reverted by you. Regards from Norway. --Bunifa88 (talk) 18:16, 6 March 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem now that is undone. I really care about this article but recently it has been edited by seemingly Kurds who seemingly wants to "eliminate" the Iraqi Turkmen as a race, by refusing their number, their origin, even their language. Any advice?

Re: Rosogo
The use of A7 instead of G11 for speedy deletion of this article is a difference of opinion instead of a mistake. When performing speedy deletions, I try to choose the criteria that best fits the article. Experience has taught me that many articles qualifying for speedy deletion qualify under more than one criteria and it is a matter of opinion which criteria best fits. In my opinion criteria G11 did apply to the article but was simply not the best fit. --Allen3 talk 11:39, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Regarding recent speedy deletions
Hi, thanks for your message regarding these two speedy deletions. Regarding the first one, Jonathan ieslin, I considered the rather ridiculous looking claim that he was a murderer could be taken as a claim to significance, so given that I felt it was clearly a negative unsourced BLP I used G10 instead. Considering the second one Michael lulko I feel G3 vandalism probably was appropriate as well but given that it had previously been deleted as a G10 and that I always find deciding whether something is clear vandalism is more difficult I chose to use that G10 instead. Neither of your tags was clearly wrong but just my opinion was that G10 was a bit of a better fit. Hope this explains my reasoning. Davewild (talk) 18:27, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Rohitsmallya (talk) 14:39, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Yafeu Fula
A tag has been placed on Yafeu Fula, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

As far as i can see, Monkey survives in wikipedia and chicken does not; which is as it should be.

TiAu
Thanks for addressing this article. I think it should be moved to titanium gold though because Ti amd Au are abbreviations. My only concern is that User:S mundi is going to continue to push this "organization" thing. Let me know what you think. Wizard191 (talk) 13:08, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I know very little about the subject, so I wouldn't be opposed to a move/redir. Looking at your user page it looks as you may indeed know something about metallurgy. Was that a coincidence? I have no idea what User:S mundi's motivations are, so its hard to say what he'll do. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 13:15, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I stumbled upon the article because S mundi added a link to it on the materials science article which I have on my watch list. When I first saw it I assumed it was about titanium gold, but then found it was about this secret organization. So its just funny how things like this go around. I'm going to move the article to titanium gold and continue to watch TiAu to see if S mundi does anything else. Happy editing! Wizard191 (talk) 13:20, 24 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You too. Oh, and I noticed that something about the "Robustness" of TiAu snuck into the first para, I assume it was inserted by mundi.... <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 13:27, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Dear Decltype,

I really do not want to be impolite - please do not get me wrong here. I started a page on the Subject “TiAu” meaning an Organisation you obviously have no Idea about - which is completely fine with me. I also welcome any other contributions which may be associated to “TiAu” such as Gold Titanium alloys or motion pictures including such. If you doubt that “TiAu” should have it’s place in Wikipedia - OKAY - still fine with me.

But DO NOT take a page on one subject, delete the original content and rename it to your personal limited idea of a suitable explanation of the four letters “TiAu”

This page was NOT on Gold Titanium alloys.

Thank you very much,

Regards, S_Mundi —Preceding unsigned comment added by S mundi (talk • contribs) 13:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I am sorry that you feel this way. Unfortunately, when I encountered your article, I had one of two choices:
 * Propose the article for speedy deletion under criteria A7
 * Try to save the article by finding reliable sources
 * It seems to be impossible to verify even the existence of the TiAu organization. It therefore doesn't seem to warrant an article in Wikipedia, per WP:V and WP:N and WP:ORG. May I also politely remind you that once you put your material on Wikipedia, it is no longer yours? I do understand that this may be very frustrating. If you have further questions regarding this issue, feel free to ask. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 13:10, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you questioned the source for this article but later you approved a Norwegian article using the same source. What do you think of it? Is it a reliable source?

 * Yes, I think Store Norske Leksikon qualifies as a reliable source, if used judiciously.

I believe it is unproblematic to use these articles as a tertiary source. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 05:39, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your reply. Could you post on my page the green "Authorized" picture? My new computer screen renders colors oddly, and so I am not sure if I ever see green. (Maybe I can figure it out.)  I read what Store Norske Leksikon had to say about themselves, and it seems that they are making efforts to have qualified people review articles.

Bed Snakes
Your recent edit to Bed snakes seems a bit of an odd way to deal with a problem. The article was clearly vandalism (the original text was mostly stolen from the garter snake article, but the title was changed to "bed snakes", a slang term for penis). I think it would have been better to simply mark the article as vandalism then to redirect (the article really ISN'T about garter snakes after all). WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 16:41, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You're absolutely right! I had no idea about the slang term, and therefore assumed it was a good faith attempt to create some kind of a "hard redirect" to the other article. I therefore figured the fastest and most uncontroversial way to get rid of it was to create a real redirect and tag it as an R3. Besides, I had to check to make sure it wasn't real, which wouldn't make it blatant and obvious misinformation (at least not to me :)). But the slang term definitely changes things. Thanks for your help! <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 16:49, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Luke hernandez
Hi Decltype, just thought you'd want to know that I thought Luke hernandez was an attack not a notability issue. Also its worth issuing warnings using the templates generated when you tag for deletion, especially for newbies with redlinked talkpages, otherwise they don't know what happened to their article.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  10:29, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'd very much like to know, thanks a lot! Was that the "buff" guy? Personally I wouldn't see it as an attack, but I understand your reasoning. Nevertheless, there is no credible claim of significance, so it still fulfills A7 in my opinion. As for the warnings, I definitely forget to do it some times. And admittedly, its easier to "forget" it when the creator is obviously a bad-faith SPA. I'll try to improve there. Thanks again for your feedback. It is much appreciated. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 10:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: G10 Question
Personally, I think that the article that was deleted could have been deleted on both the A1 and G10 criteria. After rereading the article, I did pick out a few things that would be considered a personal attack, therefor justifying G10. It also met the A1 criteria because the article starts talking about the mentioned fleet, but then jumps around a great deal to other random things (ie: one of the fleet member's mom, then the mom's son, and it just gets worse past there. Therefore I felt that the article failed to hone in on one specific topic.) Heck, the article could have even been deleted under A3 (vandalism). Essentially, its possible that an article can be deleted under multiple speedy deletion categories. It just when you delete an article, there's a pull down menu that only lets you select one reasoning, and I just happened to pick A1. So, you were correct in tagging it as a G10, and I also correct in deleting it as A1! :) Hope that helps! Icestorm815  •  Talk  09:47, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It's true that you you can add additional text to the reason for why you deleted the article. Of course, the problem with that is that it gets to be cumbersome to hunt and peck for every reason why the article needs to be deleted when just one will suffice. Anyways, thanks for bringing that up. It's good that you're checking to make sure it was correct. Cheers, Icestorm815  •  Talk  10:07, 3 April 2009 (UTC)

African Institute for Mathematical Sciences
Hi Decltype,

Your input has been noted, but you argument is ultimatley spurious. Consider this: C++ is a widely used programming language but a person who is not well versed in the syntax or experienced with using C++ is surely ill placed to make a contribution to an article on C++. So in this vein "C++ is only known amongst closed circles"; the closed circle being the persons that are knowledgable with this subject. Of course general readers not well versed in C++ may verify the information given in an article by refering to literature in books on C++ and on C++ websites.

This is the logic that should be applied to the AIMS article. Those who have never been to AIMS or unfamiliar with the structure of the institute should not make signaifcant contributions to the article.

Ambrose.chongo (talk) 12:59, 3 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd have to disagree. Contribution by a "general reader" is not limited to verifying the information of others, if she wants to add information from a reliable source, then by all means she should. Someone with deep knowledge of the subject on the other hand must be careful: WP:NOR does not prohibit specialists from adding their knowledge to Wikipedia, but it does prohibit them from drawing on their personal knowledge without citing their sources. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 13:18, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree with your position, but the users at hand DON'T add additional information from reliable sources nor do they add any new references or citations . Instead, they insist on editing the article to suit their "taste". This behaviour is non-constructive and destructive.

Replaceable fair use Image:Floberg_Villmark.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:Floberg_Villmark.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that the media is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this media is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the media description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

 * Hi Melesse. Thanks for your notification, but I must admit I do not understand why you would consider this image replaceable, since it is a still from a film that illustrates a role the subject played, and not the subject itself, and as such, could not be replaced by freely licensed media. Would you mind explaining this tagging in your own words?


 * From my experience, this type of fair use is extremely common in actor BLP's. I don't see why this would be any different from e.g File:Chopper-Bana.jpg, File:KaDee Strickland in Train Ride.jpg, File:Loveserenade-MirandaOtto.jpg, File:Piratessiliconvalley.jpg, or File:KHNHLS.jpg (all from featured articles). <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 05:34, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

C++ programming language
Hi, I would really like to write programs in C++, but I don't know how to get started! Writing programs on my TI 83 plus calculator, editing wikipedia pages, and making my own page are my only experience. I need to know how to get started writing real programs on a computer and where I can learn the actual C++ programming language.

I hope you can help. <tt>HypeManEX</tt> (talk) 18:07, 14 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, assuming you're using Windows, to get started I'd get Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition for a good free IDE. As for learning the language, I should warn you that it's not easy. You should probably get a good textbook. Thinking in C++ is freely downloadable, and reasonably high quality. There are some free alternatives over at Wikibooks, but I can't guarantee for their correctness or quality. Hope this helps. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 05:33, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I am using Windows Vista. But where do I get Visual Studio 2008 Express Edition? <tt>HypeManEX</tt> (talk) 08:53, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Decltype, there's a thread at WT:RFA which would really benefit from the views of CSD taggers such as yourself.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  11:22, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Actor Charlie
Just because someones supposedly acted in over 500 movies does not necessarily mean they are notable. If an article is called "Actor Charlie", and does not even provide a full name for the person (as it did not until you added it), it seems kind of suspect that the person is actually notable. My revert edits made after you removed the tag was an accident, as I did not see your edit and thought that the tag had just been randomly removed without being reviewed. Tad Lincoln (talk) 01:22, 19 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Correct, but for A7, it is irrelevant whether the subject is actually notable: The criterion does not apply to any article that makes any credible claim of significance or importance even if the claim is not supported by a reliable source. I really don't think there's much room for argument here. <span style="font-family:monospace, monospace;">decltype (talk) 01:27, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

VCM
Looks more like da creatah was boastin' 'bout his sexual prowess. (Sorry, I just can't do non standard/street English convincingly. No feel for it.) Looks like a vanity piece for a gang of hoodlums. To say someone looks bad (sick image) in a cardigan is not disparagement. In some circles, it might even be a compliment. Taken as a whole and in part, I do not see it as G10. Just someone who needs directions to MySpace. Cheers, 13:28, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

My planning: your review, second run on Faryl articles, then put the review of NBB in (I've given it a lower priority because the editor working on it doesn't appear to be hurried). - Mgm|(talk) 18:13, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do my reviews on dead trees first. It means I can coordinate my thoughts before I write the review. :) - Mgm|(talk) 21:12, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Annoying copyedit. Not all of those changes were good. I'll need some extra time to work through those too. - Mgm|(talk) 08:36, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
