You write: "Mr. Sidaway is currently in a state of ongoing conflict with the admin who initially speedily deleted the page under consideration." Thanks. I had to go to the deletion log to see who it was you were talking about. It does look a bit like a grudge thing, although in fact the undeletion had nothing to do with the person who deleted the article. It's was just a rather obviously bad speedy made, as far as I was concerned, by a person unknown who had misread CSD A7. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:06, 12 December 2005 (UTC)

removed your AfD
I removed your AfD tag at What is SmartWorks ? and replaced with a speedy delete tag- blatant vandalism does not need to go through full AFD procedures (and this particular article has been deleted 4 times already!, this guy is persistant!). Just wanted to let you know. -Lanoitarus (talk) .:. 03:53, 14 December 2005 (UTC)


 * from User Talk:Lanoitarus:My bad. I deleted the page initially, then I looked at CSD and didn't see "Spam" as a valid reason for a CSD.  So I restored the article, removed the CSD tag, and listed it in AfD.  Then after your note, I looked to see if spam was one of the definitions of vandalism.  And lo, it is.  So the page is gone.  Thanks for the sanity check. → Ξxtreme Unction  {yak ł blah } 03:58, 14 December 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the welcome
Hi Extreme Unction, and thanks for welcoming me.

Today was my first day on Wilkipedia and I was baffled to see my first article wizzing around the either almost as soon as I finished typing it. I've read all the things that you suggested, but saw more how to advice rather than when two things are one subject advice. I thought that an article about role playing and an article about novels (even if they are based on the same setting) would be two different things. The List of Forgotten Realms novels (which I based my article on) certainly seems to be a separate thing.

How do you work this sort of thing out? I'd be interested to know so that I can decide what to do in the future.

Relisting AfDs
Thanks for the reminder. I actually did that the first time I relisted the AfDs on Dec 7, but I saw on other days that you hadn't relisted them (must have been early in your adminship) so I didn't think it was required. User:Johnleemk then contacted me about it and I resumed doing it on Dec 11. As for adminship itself, my stance on it has been if someone wants to nominate me, then I'd be happy to accept, but because I didn't actually need the tools for what I've been doing, I wasn't going to self-nom. Actually, User:Aranda56 has generously offered to nominate me, despite me having voted against him in his last RfA. I suppose I'll accept. :) howcheng   [ t &#149; c &#149; w &#149;  e  ] 08:36, 18 December 2005 (UTC)

Recreations
Thanks. Feel free to reword if it's unclear. But the point is correct - if an article is speedily deleted for whatever reason, then recreated, then the admin should make sure that the article-as-it-is-now still fits some other speedy criterion (because if it wasn't, it wouldn't be a substantial recreation). Come to think of it it's probably best to strike this sentence, it's confusing and redundant. Radiant_ &gt;|&lt; 14:17, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

CSDs
The discussion from which it resulted is at Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion/Archive4 and following sections. The recent so-called decrufting broke several of the CSDs, including this one, as on-the-spot blitzs are prone to. It is insufficient to not mention the speedy aspect of things, since it causes uncertainty on a fairly regular basis implying, as it does, that merely being speedied once is grounds for re-deletion. The sentence reminds admins that it must still be a speedy. It originally read


 * A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted according to the deletion policy. Note that:
 * Administrators faced with a recreation of previously speedily deleted content must determine that it did in fact meet a criterion for speedy deletion and had been appropriately deleted, before they delete it again; and,
 * This does not apply to content in userspace or to content undeleted according to the undeletion policy.

Which is better, clearer and simpler than the version it has morphed into. (Not to mention agreed to previously.) I'd be quite happy seeing the version above reappear. -Splash talk 19:35, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

In fact, I have just read your message on Radiant's talk page. That is the precise meaning of the sentence: G4 does not apply by itself. If you are speedying an article that has not been AfD's, but has been speedied before it must satisfy some other CSD &mdash; G4 does not apply directly. Hence the phrasing of the paragraph above. -Splash talk 19:37, 20 December 2005 (UTC)


 * There isn't anything tautological in saying "Administrators faced with a recreation of previously speedily deleted content must determine that it did in fact meet a criterion for speedy deletion". Substantial identicality need not apply to a speedy; you don't get to keep an article by the title "Elephant nostril problems" which originally had the title "zOMG PWNED" by recreating with "MGOz OWNED AND PWNED". That's because, in both cases, it's a nonsense speedy. I suppose some carefully phrased wording that restricts its ambit to xFD only could be constructed if you like. What you would suggest? -Splash talk 21:18, 20 December 2005 (UTC)


 * I've rather lost patience with that spate of edits to the CSDs, and reversed the lot of them. They don't need editing for one person's clarity since we all undersand/understood them as they were. Those experienced admins who profess otherwise are/were being disingenuous. That is not to say that I am not open to amendment, but I do not think that suddent 'copyedits' are the right way. To your suggestion for G4, how about this, slightly tighter wording:
 * A substantially identical copy under any title of a page deleted, according to the deletion policy, by one of the regular deletion processes. Pages which have never gone through one of these deletion discussions must not be speedied with this criterion.
 * I think that says it all, and captures what G4 can and cannot do. A bit heavy on the word deletion in the first sentence, but then we're not writing a novel. -Splash talk 22:51, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
 * It would be a profoundly miseducated editor who actually tried to defend such a position &mdash; regular round here emphatically never means speedy. But call it a regular deletion 'discussion' if you like, or talk about "never been listed for discussion on the relevant deletion process".-Splash talk 00:06, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

I like the sound of that. It's cleanly phrased and gets the two key points across. -Splash talk 13:14, 22 December 2005 (UTC)

RfD
I don't participate at RfD, and don't feel qualified to comment there. I would caution, strongly, against dumping the text into the page. Transclusion makes it much easier to edit the page, and reduces the agony of an edit conflict on what is often a longish page. -Splash talk 22:53, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

U:EU/RFD/Log
I've thought long and hard about what the benefit of logging rfd in an afd style. Perhaps a line-item oriented framing box with no (or minimal) margins/padding would be better. So whenever a redirect is speedily deleted or kept, just box around it on the main page so people will leave it alone. Then when one of the days is all boxed in, cut-n-paste said day to the monthly log page? That would seem easiest to me. It wouldn't preserve easy access to comment authorship, but, hell, that's the way it is with user_talk: page archives. In any case, please don't make three sentences discussing a bad redirect take up an entire screen. &mdash;  F REAK OF N URxTURE  ( [ TALK ] )  06:42, Dec. 21, 2005

Years
Hello, EU. Before I start with the year stuff, I just want to get distracted for a section to let you know that you have one of the best usernames I've seen on Wikipedia.

Anyway, regarding the de-wikilinking of years in beer (and other places), the Wikipedia style regarding stand-alone years is to not link them, unless they will clearly help the reader to understand the topic of the article, in this case, beer. Hope that clears things up. Cheers! – ClockworkSoul 16:36, 27 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Hello, EU. I, for one, don't care one way or the other about whether or not years are linked, and would have been perfectly happy yto leave beer with fully intact year-links. However, it tends to be easiest to go with policy, especially when the stakes are too small to be worth the effort of a policy fight.

 * My pleasure. Whatever else happens, we will at least know that the issue has received wide distribution.  One of the things you find in Wikipedia is that people only regularly read the pages which hold strong interest for them, so there is a strong self-selection bias.  I recently proposed some changes to WP:RFD, and they received very little discussion because very few people care enough about RFD to watch the page.  So the decisions tend to be made by the very few people who do.  I suspect something similar has taken place with Manual of Style (dates and numbers), so it seems prudent to air the issue in a larger forum. <b style="font-family:arial, helvetica; color:#ff0000;">Ξxtreme</b> <span style="color:#006688; font-family:arial, helvetica;">Unction |<span style="font-family:arial, helvetica; font-size:x-small;">yakkity yak 14:18, 30 December 2005 (UTC)

Speedy-keeping redirects
I'd be a bit leary of speedy-keeping redirects that aren't nominated in obvious bad faith (...which would be pretty hard to identify for a redirect, I'd think). Just tacking on your own "**Keep, redirects which stem from reasonable alternative capitalizations are 100% in accordance with redirect policy. ~ " would both forestall any accusations of unilateralism and provide an avenue for change of policy. It is, after all, supposed to be policy that's built out of day-to-day consensus, not vice-versa. (As an aside, thank you for proving my doubts about your readiness for adminship to be so decisively wrong.) &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 05:21, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and what do you think of reversing the order on WP:RFD, so that new requests are placed at the top? It was kept the way it was mostly because Jnc preferred it that way, and he was doing all the work; putting new entries on top emulates CFD, TFD, SFD, and MFD, and also allows rfd to provide an edit link directly to today's section (like mfd does). &mdash;Cryptic (talk) 05:24, 3 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the compliment. As you have been one of the admins I've tried to emulate, that's a powerful compliment indeed. =)


 * My reasoning behind the speedy keeps is that it is trivially easy to play spoiler in RFD, given the general lack of participation. A redirect that is in accordance with redirect policy could get one or two "delete" votes (either well-intentioned or otherwise), and no other votes at all, and then the closing admin would be faced with the proposition of either deleting a redirect that has no reason to be deleted or unilaterally ignoring the delete votes and keeping the redirect in spite of them.  And if given a choice between speedy keeping a fresh nomination or going all Tony Sidaway and keeping a redirect where the discussion (however minimal) has indicated "delete", the former seems to be the lesser of two evils.  It generates less acrimony while still serving the same purpose.


 * Additionally, the policy of speedy keeping redirects that are in accordance with Redirect is plainly stated under the "Guiding Principles of RFD" section for all to see, and has been there about two weeks. As someone (I believe it was you, in fact) once told me: "Consensus is what everybody can live with."  Given the overall lack of interest with the RFD process (as evidenced by the lack of participation on RFD's talk page), this is particularly true for RFD.  So far, it seems that everybody (or, at least, that subset of "everybody" which bothers with RFD) can live with this addition, as you are the first person to comment on it at all since it was added on December 21.


 * As for the date order, I have no strong feelings on it one way or the other, and could easily accomodate a change to have the newest entries go at the top if that would make things easier on others.


 * All the best.

Unjustified protection of an article
I would like to get an explanation as to why the article Bulgarian vocabulary was blocked by you after User:Peter Isotalo repeatedly moved the content of the article Bulgarian lexis to the new name, Bulgarian vocabulary, without justification and without giving a plausible reason for that. Let's look at the meanings of the two words in the first online dictionary I came upon (it happened to be wordreference [www.wordreference.com ]):


 * Vocabulary: (1) a language user's knowledge of words. (2) the system of techniques or symbols serving as a means of expression (as in arts or crafts); "he introduced a wide vocabulary of techniques. (3) a listing of the words used in some enterprise


 * Lexis: (1) all of the words in a language. (2) all word forms having meaning or grammatical function:

As the article refers to the whole body of words in the Bulgarian language, I would like to ask you: which word refers better to the meaning of the article, vocabulary or lexis? Don't tell me - because the dictionary has already stated it explicitly, it is lexis!!!

In view of the above, could I get an explanation as to why, you, in your capacity of administrator, have sided with an editor in order to institutionalise a wrongful edit? I would like to ask you to remove the protection of the article or give me a very reasonable explanation as to why this protection has been effected in the first place and as to why, since it institutionalised a wrongful edit, which wreaks damage to the overall understanding of the article, continues to be in place. I don't think it is proper and adequate of an administrator to side with an user and I will contact other administrators so that measures compliant with Wikipedia policies can be taken against the wrongful steps taken by you and User:Peter Isotalo.

 * Syrthiss, I hope you don't mind that I changed your link to the movie Airplane!. Lady Aleena | Talk 22:50, 29 January 2006 (UTC)

Hat tip
Stumbled on your excellent sig and instructions on creating it and wanted to drop you a note of thanks. I was so impressed I restyled my own - consider it an homage. :-) <span style="color: #EF6521; font-family: arial, helvetica;">AU <span style="color: #000063; font-family: arial, helvetica;">Tiger ʃ <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: x-small;">talk /<span style="font-family: arial, helvetica; font-size: x-small;">work 08:45, 8 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Just a note that I agree with your closing of the RfD for the WP:RFC/... redirects. There were simply too many editors in favour of keeping the redirects, including some that I respect a lot. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 16:27, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

Alcopops
I can do better than that - I even have sources -   I've never even heard of this pseudo malt stuff, not that that proves it doesn't exist in UK. I wonder why it is like that in the US - are spirits licenced different to beer? (the old beerhouse distinction maybe?) Morwen - Talk 19:25, 10 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Aha. Do you need not a license to just sell beer, then, or is it just much easier to get?  Morwen - Talk 20:00, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

My Bad there
I misinterpreted the current Bounty Source page as a recreation of the currently closed AfD for the article. Looking at it though, good call on reversing me. (Though, someone'll need to update the AfD to reflect the change). --Jeffrey O. Gustafson - Shazaam! - &lt;*&gt; 20:57, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hello, thanks for your message. I think your approach is sound and I have no qualms about you reopenning the AfD if the article page has been created as something other than a copyright violation.  All the best, Johntex\talk 21:12, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you for the unblocking of the article (Bulgarian vocabulary). I hope this doesn't come too late - but I don't come here so often any more. Regards and have a good weekend! VMORO 21:03, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Seeking opinion
This looks like an afd put up by an ip with only two edits both on it (has no talk page entries). It might redirect here [] though. Can do either. What are your thoughts if you have time.-- Dakota ~  ε  22:40, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Never had heard it either. AfD it is. Thank you.-- Dakota ~  ε  23:48, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Did it[] right I hope.-- Dakota ~  ε  00:17, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Why are you doing this?
Are my contributions somehow more worthy of deletion than your own secular appologetics?!--OnwardsCS 15:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

Petition on Bullying in Wikipedia
Hi Extreme Unction. I have compiled a petition to send to Mr. Wales with respect to my views on bullying on Wikipedia, which I think is a very grave problem on Wikipedia that Mr. Wales needs to address: User:Benapgar/Bullying. Please sign it if you agree, and if you can think of other people who might agree please let them know about it too. --Ben 02:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
