 * Whose Talk, IP? If I correctly assume you are VectorX, I should rather file an AfD because of conflict of interest Don Cuan 21:00, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion of Nokia 888
Just to let you know I removed the tag on the article Nokia 888 as I don't feel that WP:CSD applies at all here. Feel free to add a WP:PROD tag or created a WP:AFD listing if you feel this was in error. Thanks &mdash;αlεx•mullεr 10:56, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, you are right with that. I guess I mistagged it because I haven't really got the knack with Twinkle. Don Cuan (talk) 15:26, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. Twinle's a very powerful tool! :) &mdash;αlεx•mullεr 17:17, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

What is wrong with the old J-Bomb page?
18:46, 5 May 2009 (UTC)
 * There was nothing but unreferenced and badly written crap on it Don Cuan (talk) 21:53, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the RfD work
Thanks alot for finding all those redirects, I had forgotten that xqbot would have hidden them all in the long period between the AfD result redirect and the actual deletion of the page. If you find any other remnants please let me know, thanks. --Taelus (talk) 17:59, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of History of Xcode
I have nominated History of Xcode, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/History of Xcode. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Don Cuan (talk) 09:07, 13 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for notifying me. Note that I didn't write the article: I only split it out from Xcode when reading Xcode because it took up perhaps half or more of the words on Xcode, which is probably too much for an embedded history section. In fact, I don't think I've ever used Xcode in my life.


 * But I think it's always nice for Wikipedia to have history-of-software articles. So I've much improved the article. I've removed perhaps half or more of the list items, then converted the article from list form into prose form.


 * Are you now willing to withdraw your vote of "Delete"?


 * Cheers, --unforgettableid | talk 22:11, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Alliance Party
If they take the LibDeb Whip does that not make them part of the government?  AJUK  Talk!! 22:35, 20 June 2010 (UTC)
 * To me, being part of government implies that your party has a minister/secretary of state/other position within the executive branch. Obviously, this criterion is incomplete, can't be applied to all types of government and may border WP:OR. In fact, the concept of a governing party can be questionable in countries where the government is officially non-partisan. I'm not that much into UK politics, so if you feel the label was correct, revert to it. Maybe I was deceived by their single seat in the House of Commons, which wouldn't even be enough to form a parliamentary group over here. Don Cuan (talk) 23:51, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

Satudarah merge
Don,

Since Satudarah and Satudarah_(motorcycle_club) are so obviously about the same topic, go ahead and merge it. The process goes like this:


 * 1) Hit edit on Satudarah_(motorcycle_club) and copy any unique content to Satudarah - I suggest having two tabs open in your browser
 * 2) Save the Satudarah page with the edit summary "merge in Satudarah_(motorcycle_club) "
 * 3) Replace everything on Satudarah_(motorcycle_club) with #REDIRECT Satudarah R from merge R from unnecessary disambiguation and save with the edit summary "redirect after merge to Satudarah "
 * 4) Go to Talk:Satudarah and add  to the top, replacing "today" with the date you merged
 * 5) Go to Talk:Satudarah_(motorcycle_club) and add  to the top, replacing "today" with the date you merged

Note that I'm using Satudarah as the target page - this is because we don't need to disambiguate - there is nothing else called Satudarah that this could be confused with (this is not the case with, for example, Mongols motorcycle club, since Mongols has a lot of other meanings.)

OER inquiry
Hi, I'm sending you this message because you're one of about 300 users who have recently edited an article in the umbrella category of open educational resources (OER) (or open education). In evaluating several projects we've been working on (e.g. the WIKISOO course and WikiProject Open), my colleague Pete Forsyth and I have wondered who chooses to edit OER-related articles and why. Regardless of whether you've taken the WIKISOO course yourself - and/or never even heard the term OER before - we'd be extremely grateful for your participation in this brief, anonymous survey before 27 April. No personal data is being collected. If you have any ideas or questions, please get in touch. My talk page awaits. Thanks for your support! - Sara FB (talk) 20:39, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

Michael Alsbury
I've undone your conversion of the article on Michael Alsbury to a redirect to 2014 Virgin Galactic crash. I would think that astronauts are notable enough to sustain articles. The community may think different though. If you still think that the article fails WP:NOTMEMORIAL you are welcome to nominate the article at WP:AFD. The community can then discuss the article and decide its fate. Mjroots (talk) 18:32, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
 * The WP:NOTMEMORIAL concern was in part due to two links on the article, which I have now removed. I disagree that being a test pilot in an astronaut program instantly makes you reliable – also see this AfD from 2008. Alsbury likewise never reached the Kármán line. the generally accepted boundary to outer space. If you wish so, we can take this to AfD, although deletion is pretty much out of the window anyway. Either it's keep or redirect to 2014 Virgin Galactic crash per WP:BIO1E. Don Cuan (talk) 19:24, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
