Automated archiving
I noticed you've started maintaining a talk page archive. I suggest you set it up for automated archiving by a bot. To configure it, see User:MiszaBot/Archive HowTo. Gparyani (talk) 02:44, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I thought about it, but I prefer to do some things manually, for now at least. Deunanknute (talk) 02:46, 23 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I really think that you should use the bot (IMO, manual archiving is a pain, at least for me). If you want to see some sample code, check out the top of my talk page. My archiving is set up the same way as yours, and I think you can directly copy it onto the top of your page. But if you don't want to, that's fine. (Note that there's also a date-based archive option - you may want to take a look at that too.) Gparyani (talk) 03:19, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

I have unreviewed a page you curated
Thanks for reviewing Aleksandr Ilich Rudakov, Deunanknute.

Unfortunately Fiachra10003 has just gone over this page again and unreviewed it. Their note is:

"Thanks for adding this article. If you can, please expand the article with text from the corresponding article in the Russian Wikipedia."

To reply, leave a comment on Fiachra10003's talk page.
 * Don't worry, the new page curation tools seem to be doing something weird. I don't know how good your Russian is, there's quite a bit of material on the Russian wiki page. You might consider extending the article (currently a stub) using some of that material. Fiachra10003 (talk) 18:05, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, now I see what's going on. You and I are both New Page Patrolling from the bottom of the list and conflicting with each other!  My normal habit is to work on the oldest unreviewed articles (clearly yours too!).  I will stop for now and move higher up the list - so you can work away.

Why did you mark the whole Fernand Baudin’s page for deletion?
Wouldn’t it have been clever to only remove—or edit!—the part that was too close to the page http://www.corner-college.com/Veranstaltungen/1413151200/877 (which text I also wrote by the way, that is maybe why they look alike) and not the whole page? Now I cannot even see the history anymore!! Can you fix this? Please contact the admin User:Jimfbleak who deleted the page so that he undoes it, thanks. Lfurter (talk) 14:45, 25 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I marked that page for deletion because, aside from one half of one sentence, it was copied word for word. Except in very specific circumstances, you can't use previous work on Wikipedia, even your own (see WP:COPYRIGHTS). Deunanknute (talk) 15:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

You are a complete fucking moron
Did you even bother reading the sources I cited?


 * http://zeldaspeedruns.com/oot3d/ba/beginning-bottle-adventure
 * http://zeldaspeedruns.com/oot3d/majorsb/door-of-time-skip
 * http://zeldaspeedruns.com/oot3d/ww/blue-warps

These are major game-breaking / save-corrupting glitches that no sensible developer would ever allow in a game, let alone manually "recreate" them for nostalgic players. The only reason they weren't fixed is that they were discovered in the N64 version after the 3DS version had already gone to print.

Next time, if you're not sure whether an edit is well-intentioned, just ask me, instead of being a baby and accusing everything you disagree with of being "vandalism."

 * I removed your contributions to The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D for several reasons, including:

I don't disagree with what you wrote, but it doesn't belong here. Deunanknute (talk) 00:21, 26 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Original research WP:OR. "This is extremely poor damage control to cover the fact that most of the game's engine was copied and pasted with minimal changes." is based on your opinion.
 * Lack of a reliable sourceWP:RS. "zeldaspeedruns.com" is not a proper source, and was incorrectly cited.
 * The information, and the way it was written was opinionated WP:NPOV.

I wouldn't call him a fucking moron, but he certainly needs to check sources before disallowing edits with extreme prejudice as he did with my James Bond edits. Why would you threaten to ban someone from editing when they are making factual additions to a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.101.160.50 (talk)

Regarding deletion of Beyond the Page Theatre Company
I do not believe that my article should have been deleted in the first place, I was not given a reason for its deletion, therefore I made it again. And this time I was hoping that I would be provided with help on how to improve my page rather than simply having it deleted without me knowing what I could have done differently. Emma.norville (talk) 21:37, 26 January 2015 (UTC)Emma.norville

None of the references about the theatre company are from reliable, independent sources. Deunanknute (talk) 21:48, 26 January 2015 (UTC)

Advisory...
Given your behavior on this site, you are now being monitored. You are strongly advised to cease harassing other users. This will be your ONLY warning. 134.71.214.16 (talk) 05:51, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Twinkle
Hi. Can you take care when using the "notify article creator" box on Twinkle? You recently attempted to nominate Bintan Lagoon Resort for speedy deletion as blatant advertising, but there was an earlier, salvageable version of the article, so G11 did not apply (it only does when all revisions of the article could be considered excessively promotional). You also notified the article's creator,, a highly experienced editor with numerous featured articles under his belt and who had nothing to do with the later promotional edits. There's just no chance that Blofeld would create an article that met the speedy deletion criteria. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  10:40, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

I was hasty in nominating the article for deletion. I'll make sure to check histories more thoroughly from now on. As far as auto notifying the creator; I would think any page creator would want to know about major changes to an article they created. Deunanknute (talk) 12:56, 27 January 2015 (UTC)
 * It depends - sometimes it's a judgement call. I interpret the AfD process as meaning you should notify anyone who's had a hand in the article, as with enough hands on deck it may be saved. The page creator could have retired from Wikipedia, and I've seen enough of that templating to write an essay about it. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  17:43, 27 January 2015 (UTC)

Sitwell Junior School
Schools are explicitly exempt from Speedy A7. You will have to Prod it or take it to AFD if you want to use notability grounds for deletion. Meters (talk) 00:58, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Even primary schools? Deunanknute (talk) 01:00, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
 * Yes. The normal action to take with non-notable primary school articles is to redirect them to the school board or town article if there is one. Meters (talk) 05:49, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

Re: Caitlin Stasey
Hi there.

Why did you revert the edit to Caitlin Statsey's page?

She IS bisexual, not lesbian. The sentence following her sexuality states she is in a relationship with a man, thus making her bisexual.

Gilberticus Fyshius (talk) 04:38, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, current consensus is that if someone considers themselves to be a lesbian, they are, and should be referred to as such on Wikipedia. Deunanknute (talk) 04:43, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
