Adoption
Hi Umalee,

I saw your name in the category for users requesting adoption. If you are still interested in being adopted, I can adopt you. If you want to read about my contributions and about me, just visit my user page. Just let me know on my talk page! -- lov e  laughterlife♥ talk?  04:18, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I have been off and on for the past 3 weeks.. just real life stuff, like my trip to the States and HUGE independent studies and exams coming up. Anyways, I will still be on Wikipedia off and on for the next month too. If you are seriously looking for an editor to adopt you, I could refer you to some who are seeking to adopt. I was reading over the list of possible adopters, and I definitly recommend User:CattleGirl or User:(aeropagitica). CattleGirl is on vacation right now, as states her user page, but she is planning on requesting for an adminship position soon. (aeropagitica) is an administrator on Wikipedia. If you ask either of them, I think they would be more than happy to adopt you! However, I'm still here if you need any immediate help :) -- lov e  laughterlife♥ talk?  21:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow, I'm so chuffed by the totally unexpected recommendation from Lovelaughterlife above! May I just say that Lovelaughterlife is an amazingly positive and vibrant handle?  Warm regards, (aeropagitica) 22:53, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello there! Welcome to WP! I hope you enjoy your time here. I'm actually not all that new, but I felt like editing the sandbox. Feel free to stop by my talk page if you need any help or just want to say hello, though. GassyGuy 19:59, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Adoption
Would you like to be adopted? Let me know which areas interest you here on WP and I might be able to help! A message on my Talk page is the best way to contact me. I am on UK time (GMT+0), if that is an issue. (aeropagitica) 22:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Lovelaughter said you were a good 'adoptive parent', for lack of a better word. Is it okay if I get adopted by you? --Umalee 18:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that's fine with me! Feel free to ask my any questions that you have about Wikipedia and I will do my best to answer them for you. There may be a delay where I am asleep or at work but I will respond as soon as I can! Regards, (aeropagitica) 18:55, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

RE: Adoption
Sure I wouldn't mind helping you out here and there :). If you have any questions feel free to contact, I'd be glad to help.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk)  05:08, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Questions
Actually, I have a lot of questions. My first one would be if I saw were to see an article that needed clean up, or needed a professnial (think doctor or lawyer) and yet has no disclaimer saying so. What should I do in that case? Also, how do I make citations for an article? --Umalee 21:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, if I came across and article that I thought required the attentions of an expert in the subject, I would tag it with expert. For tagging articles, I suggest that you look at Wikipedia:Template messages, as there are many messages for many different circumstances.  User Talk pages also have their own set of tags, Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace.  These come in useful for vandal fighting, something that you may want to do later on in your Wiki-career.  Citation information can be found at WP:CITE and footnote information can be found at WP:FOOT.  There's a lot to take in with my answer.  Let me know about your follow-up questions and we'll go from there. Regards, (aeropagitica) 22:43, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Breaks
How can I put something up on my userpage that says I'm taking a short break from editing but will respond to any messages I get? Sorry for asking so many questions. --Umalee 02:58, 20 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello! You don't need to apologise for asking questions, that's one of the reasons why I am here - to help you!  To place a notice that you are on a Wikibreak on to your Userpage, you need to create/copy a template notice like mine - User:(aeropagitica)/wikibreak .   You can then fill in the blanks with the to/from dates and a reason, if you want to give one. Regards, (aeropagitica) 17:17, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Stubs
Try Stub--Cometstyles 15:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Stub Templates

 * 1) How do you designate an article a stub?
 * 2) And how do you get the infoboxes that says "this article is part of {insert article group name here} and has such-and-such rating and such-and-such importance)"--Umalee 15:07, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I have another question. How do you make it so the stub refers only to a certain section instead of the whole article? --Umalee 17:47, 24 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia:Stub gives all of the information about stubs that you should require. An article is a stub if it is:
 * "...is too short to provide encyclopaedic coverage of the subject, but not so short as to provide no useful information."
 * A stub is a short article with the potential for expansion, rather than a limited definition of the article title. This is because Wikipedia is not a dictionary and definitions can be Transwikied to Wiktionary or another appropriate Wiki project.
 * 1) Infoboxes
 * Politics of the United States is an article that I have found with an infobox side menu, which I assume is similar to what you are referring to? I haven't found one with a rating and importance tag on it, can you provide an example, please?  The infobox on Politics page is a Template, similar to the Wikibreak template that we discussed earlier.  You can find it at Template:Politics of the United States.  I think in this case the template was created to group the articles together for the Politics portal project, as it makes it easier for researchers and editors to locate articles related by similar themes and concepts.
 * 1) A stub does refer to the entire article at the time of its initial creation. If  you want to expand a particular section of an article then the expand tag makes this clear to other editors.  Update: you can also use the sectstub tag to indicate that a section requires expansion too.

Finally, I am very sorry about not sending this reply to you earlier! I was interrupted in the middle of typing and I thought that I had sent it to you. My sincere apologies and I hope that I have no inconvenienced you with my tardy response. Regards, (aeropagitica) 23:44, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Question about Wikimedia Foundation petition.
Is there any way to link the petition to restore our right to vote in the wikimedia foundation on my user page? --Umalee 17:49, 5 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Can you provide me with a link to what you are talking about, please? (aeropagitica) 20:52, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Links, and lots of them
Your addition of links to the Patrice Munsel article, in my opinion, takes away more than it adds. Why do we need red links to people who will likely never have their own articles? The second link to Metropolitan leads to a disambiguation page; if the reader wanted to investigate the Met they could use the first link, only two sentences earlier, which actually takes them to a useful article. See WP:MOS, the section "Wikilinking", and WP:DATE, section "Partial dates". Especially, read about overlinking in WP:MOS-L. Linking every year is, in effect, changing the style established by the original editor, and changing from one acceptable style to another is generally discouraged. There is so much real, useful work to be done; we should add information that is lacking, or fix errors, or clean up true ugliness before we go adding a lot of links just for the sake of linking everything possible. Happy editing! Chris the speller 05:10, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No need for being sorry, we all had to learn, and all made questionable edits while learning. I hope you found my assigned reading interesting and not overwhelming. Call on me any time you have a question. The guidelines are not always easy to find or easy to understand, part of the reason it takes a while before people stop trying to correct you (some still try to correct me, even when I follow the guidelines to a 'T'.) And don't get discouraged; your edits become more satisfying as you build experience and the confidence that comes with it. Chris the speller 19:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

The Frost King
Hello. You added a merge suggestion to The Frost King but did not give your reasons for suggesting this merger on the talk page. Please do so, or remove the merge suggestion. Thanks. Cheers, Doctormatt 06:14, 11 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not really sure how to go about doing it. Smerdis of Tlön might know. I'll ask him, or you can. --Bluejay Young 15:05, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Basically, to start a merger you copy all of the text in the article to merge from, and add it under a new subject header in the article to merge to. Then you look and see if you made any formatting messes, or created any redundancies in the sense of the article.  At Talk:Helen Keller, there does not seem to be unanimous consensus that the Frost King material ought to be merged, though.  I have no strong opinion either way, but it probably needs to be talked over a bit before the merger actually takes place. - Smerdis of Tlön 15:01, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

Template:anon
You accidentally overwrote the content of the template. Don't feel bad, you aren't the first person to do it :) . I just wanted to let you know so that you can avoid it in the future. I have reverted. --Versageek 03:28, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * When you go to edit - make sure you are on a talk page, not on the Template:anon page. The page name appears above the edit box.
 * The syntax for the anon welcome on a talk page would be:  --~ .     --Versageek 03:40, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Please be careful
Please try to be more cautious when you are leaving vandalism warnings for people. Thank you, Can&#39;t sleep, clown will eat me 20:37, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * If you don't know why you're warning someone, you should not be doing it. Period.  Can&#39;t sleep, clown will eat me 20:42, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I know perfrectly well why I gave you a warning. You deleted what I presume to be someone else's comment on an article talk page. --Umalee 20:47, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The comment you're referring to was an attack comment.   If you cannot differentiate between actual vandalism and the removal of discussion board insults, you have no place warning people. Can&#39;t sleep, clown will eat me 20:51, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * My apologies. --Umalee 21:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Another thing to be careful about. You have removed red links systematically for Anatol Rapoport. But red links have a function in indicating what future Wikipedia articles are needed, such as "teach-in". So, please revert. Bellagio99 22:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)


 * "reverting yourself" sounds pretty daring -- and seriously, good ego strength. Thanks. And let's keep moving forward;-)

On Illegitimacy
Congratulations on deleting the "Bastardy" section from the article. It really was out of place, as written, but no one had shown your boldness of thought. (Regrettably, some touchy persons, themselves born out of wedlock, deleted a thought-provoking list of historic persons who had been born illegitimate.) logologist|Talk 02:19, 7 April 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, IMO, it would make sense to take out the list of historic illegitament people. Wikipedia shouldn't be a list. It should be an encyclopedia. --Umalee 23:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

regarding an article that is an autobiography, un-noteworthy, and bias
hi umalee, article "Cory Williams" Mr. Safety needs serious attention and expert assistance. the basic issue is Cory Williams clearly wrote / created his own article as a form of blatant advertising. Cory Williams is not noteworthy in my opinion, as well as others that have debated and discussed the issue at hand. Clearly the Cory Williams article has violated TOS, and this issue with bias and neutrality needs expert help. thanks kindly TomSkillingJr.


 * Umalee, you're the second user (?) that has suggested that i quote "calm down". i feel very strongly on this issue, because the article is blatant advertising and bias resume created by Cory Williams to help propagandate his "career". I (myself) have been on tv, in paper, and on youtube. does that mean i deserve an article on wikipedia so i can google myself ? clearly, the answer is no. i apologize if i have some emotion attached to this issue. i guess i will try to calm down. possibly its something i should read up on. because the focus is turning to into a argument rather than an open civil debate.

to me the its civil to ask, "is it okay to write your own wikipedia articles (about your life and self) in an online encyclopedia ?" in my view point, it's completely bias and unfair to have pages created for people who upload videos to youtube and cheat their terms of service. regardless, i'll read up on how to cool down, i must have lost my point somewhere. Can you (and others) tell i am upset that the article is written like an self-advertisement for a man who openly cheated Youtube.com? thanks for advice. i'll read up on policy further TomSkillingJr.

Vandalism
Nice job reverting 72.1.206.65's edits. Vandal fighting is an essential part of Wikipedia. There are many tools to help make reverting easier (I use Twinkle). See WP:VAND for more information, and Thanks! —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 19:31, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Per your userpage, that would explain why you know so much, then. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 19:34, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

User/Talk pages
You could move User:Umalee and User talk:Umalee to User:Kannie and User talk:Kannie. That seems to be what Wikipedians do if they create a new account in good faith. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 19:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Go to User:Umalee. You'll see tabs at the top of the page saying


 * user page  discussion   edit this page   history   move


 * Click on "move". Where it says "To new page:" enter "User:Kannie". Under "Reason:" enter "move to my new page" or something and click "Move page". —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 19:51, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Seeing as both pages have a history, you may have to request speedy deletion by putting db-g7 on each page before moving. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 19:57, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * You don't see the move tag because your account is less than four days old. I can do it after the pages have been deleted, if you like. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 20:09, 25 September 2007 (UTC)


 * You may have misunderstood me. We need to delete the pages we're moving to. —Ignatzmicetalkcontribs 20:25, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Failed "good article" nomination
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of September 9, 2007, compares against the six good article criteria:


 * 1. Well written?: [[Image:Symbol unsupport vote.svg|15px]] Needs major cleanup per the Manual of Style. The intro is of insufficient length and breadth per the guidelines of WP:LEAD. An introduction should not simply be a dictionary definition. Several sections are in odd places. Why is early modern usage not placed - no pun intended - earlier? On a larger level, the article reads like a laundry list of the status of sheriff's offices in U.S. states, rather than an encyclopedic treatment of the office in general. The section on famous U.S. sheriffs is useful (though it too needs to be expanded to a worldwide POV), but it could definitely be integrated prosaically into the body of the article. The section on fictional American sheriffs is patently trivial.
 * 2. Factually accurate?: [[Image:Symbol unsupport vote.svg|15px]] Needs major citation improvements per present tags/banners. Remember to cite all facts likely to be challenged, especially assertions about living persons, quotations and attributed opinion.
 * 3. Broad in coverage?: [[Image:Symbol unsupport vote.svg|15px]] Fails to provide a comprehensive encyclopedic presentation of the history of the office. Focuses far too much on U.S. information. Needs to have its context within the larger legal and law enforcement system expanded (i.e. relation to other offices).
 * 4. Neutral point of view?: [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Seems to be fairly neutral, but the dire need for accuracy and style improvements do have an effect on the overall neutrality of the article.
 * 5. Article stability? [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Is not currently the subject of any edit wars.
 * 6. Images?: [[Image:Symbol support vote.svg|15px]] Sufficient, if not inspiring.

As is readily apparent, I did not apply the customary hold period to this article. This is because the article violates at least one the of quick-fail criteria, namely that there are numerous cleanup notices present, in this case of the refimprove and fact variety.

When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration. If you feel that this review is in error, feel free to take it to a GA review. Thank you for your work so far. — VanTucky  (talk) 00:40, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi sorry about the tests, i didnt want to change it just test some stuff out, but in the article id like to have it mentioned the Doctor who came up with the term in the non surgical rhinoplasty part.

Hi kannie

Got your messege, and will use the sandbox from now on. however, could i make a reference to the original doctor who came up with with the fraze in the first place?

"Idiotic"
On Wikipedia honesty should not be taken into consideration, but rather the factual relevance. I will apologize for using the word idiotic, however, people should not call a person born in 1991 a general in the military, when he was born in 1981 and is an English cricketer. I am indeed sorry for the use of such a word and also sorry to waste your precious time.  Xeysz  ☼  21:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Notability and H.J.Gauntlett
Excuse me, but I fail to see how H.J. Gauntlett is notable. There is no references whatsoever and it reads like an ad. I highly suspect, though I may wrong, that the author is H.J.Gauntlett. May I ask, in good faith, where do you see the notability?--Kannie | talk 02:41, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Hello. It was a mere assumption that I made after doing a google search, and tagged it, since no matter if it is notable or not, the article is in a state in which it would need to be wikified and expanded. You can, obviously, still propose deletion or request speedy deletion if seen fit. ~ | twsx | talkcont | 07:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Could you maybe help 'clean up' the article a little bit by adding a few trustworthy sites to the stub? I'll be glad to do it myself if you wish, but since you think he's notable, I just thought I'd ask. --Kannie | talk 19:53, 20 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't think so (i'm too lazy, at least right now). The article still does not make a real assertion for notability, so i'd say it is still eligible for speedy deletion under criteria A7. Nominate it if you want (which, to have mentioned it, i have not discouraged at any time).


 * Oh, I'm sorry. I'll nominate it for speedy deletion now. Kannie | talk 20:58, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Welcoming committee
I'm not sure that adding a welcoming message to every IP user who edits Wikipedia is the best thing to do - if it was it could be done by a robot. I'm sure your efforts are well intentioned, but I really think there are more important things that they could be focused on. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 22:10, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You do have a point. I haven't really had an anonmous user contact me until now, unless it "contacting" me to vandalize my talk page! It's just that this template encourages people to register an account, and links to my talk page, which encourages at least encourages non-anon peopple to ask for help. That's was why I 'welcome' everyone to wikipedia. Out of curiosity, why don't you think it's a good idea? Kannie | talk 22:14, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I do recommend being welcoming, but there are over a million people who edit Wikipedia, and most only do one edit and never come back. When you click "edit this page" you get a boilerplate of what Wikipedia thinks is important for everyone to see, old and new alike. I have heard estimates that there are less than 500 active Wikipedians (I'm not one of them). It often takes me an hour to make one edit (researching, looking up references), I see some people making over 500 edits in one day. Many of the robot tasks on Wikipedia are literally done by robots, like Sinebot if you forget to sign a talk page, and Cluebot if someone vandalizes a page in an obvious manner. It's really hard to tell if an IP user is a one time editor or has come back. I look at their contribs and see if they have edited multiple times before throwing them a welcome. You will find that there are some habitual IP users like myself who just don't want to be bothered with registering, while most will welcome the advice. There really is a welcoming committee, and if you aren't a member you should be. Also since you are relatively new you can ask for a mentor. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 22:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I was actually registered under a different name at one point, but yeah, at one point I had a mentor. I think my problem is that I'm being a little bold, ya know? But thanks for the reminder, and thanks for telling me about the welcoming commitee--I have heard and forgot about it. Kannie | talk 22:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well bold is good. Have fun. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 23:46, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the chuckle. Yeah, I know I'm not bold, but this is bold for me, actually. Pretty subjective concept. Kannie | talk 23:48, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

User talk:Collard
Hi, I don't know if you're familiar with WP:USER or WP:TALK, but it's generally considered good etiquette to mind your own business when it comes to Wikipedians' user or talk pages. Dropping a warning template on Collard's talk page is extremely poor etiquette per WP:TEMPLAR. Collard has done fantastic work in resizing and/or converting non-free images that he did not originally upload. The favor he gets in return is constant harassment about non-free images. Please do, at least, some cursory investigation before butting in on his user page. Videmus Omnia Talk  23:57, 22 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah - being bold I see. Good for you, Kannie. But they are right. If you have read all the templates a hundred times it is pointless for someone to drop one of them on your talk page, and better to customize your notice to them. Now, what was I working on when you distracted me? Oh yes, finding a category for an article. 199.125.109.108 (talk) 00:03, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
 * ...Anyway, Kannie. I get a trillion messages a second from bots warning me about the many (possibly hundreds of) unused/disputed/etc fair-use images I re-uploaded in reduced resolution. Since I don't care about fair use images (other than I don't want the Wikimedia foundation to get sued over them) I delete these warnings from my talk page and this is what made you think that I was blanking needlessly. Please don't do that again, k? :) And if you're using some custom script or other, please tweak it so that people blanking their own user/talk pages doesn't trigger it, to save them some annoyance.

Badminton biostub speedily deleted
Hi, I have seen that you have tagged an article requesting that it should be speedily deleted. This articles is Karen Chapman, but she was medalist at the World Badminton Championships. Isn't it notable enough? Walint (talk) 15:47, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Of course it is. You can check it at the article of this World Championship. For Masao Tsuchida, as the articles says, it was at the 1980 IBF World Championships, and there are 3 external links. For Karen Chapman it was at the 1983 IBF World Championships and there are also 3 external links. Walint (talk) 15:51, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * No, I haven't remove anything, you can check it at the history page. The intralink is 1983 IBF World Championships, but these article has 3 EXTERNAL LINKS where you can check the medalists. Walint (talk) 16:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

CIA Human Rights
I was a little surprised to find a deletion template on a new article, seemingly only a minute or two after it had been created. There has been significant discussion on the general CIA article talk page that there is too much material for a single article, and this article was one of a group of sub-articles into which content would be distributed.

While I'm happy to discuss the reasons this is being done, it seemed a bit premature to flag deletion with no discussion. Please correct me if I am wrong, but I had not seen your name in the CIA article discussions, and it seemed unusual for someone who has not been involved to contest the creation of a sub-article.

Quick-draw hair trigger
I don't think it's particularly productive to pull the speedy-delete trigger on an article one minute after the first edit on it. - JasonAQuest (talk) 20:09, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm following procedure, but I'm a little perplexed by your hair-trigger approach to implementing it... hence the note here. Is it really recommended to shoot first on speedy-deletes and ask questions later?  Just a couple minutes looking at the article and the pre-existing links to it would have established it has a high likelihood of being notable, and it's mathematically clear that you didn't spend that. - JasonAQuest (talk) 20:20, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I wanted to make sure you knew that your actions were hostile to Wikipedia's productive editing environment, and pointing it out on a Talk page I had no reason to believe you would bother to read wouldn't accomplish that. If you don't want to be bothered by criticism like this, try acting with a little circumspection.  In the five years I've been on WP, I've found that thinking before you edit helps a lot. -JasonAQuest (talk) 20:40, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

RE:Speedying
Hi! I noticed your great work speedying new pages, and wanted to encourage you to keep up the good work. I also wanted to blatantly pitch Twinkle to you; basically, it is an automated system that lets you speedy pages, put them up for any other deletion process, and even lets you revert vandalism more easily. Quite handy, and speeds up everything quite a bit. You don't have to use it of course, I'm just recommending it. Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share?  20:57, 24 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'd be delighted to help!


 * 1) First, open up your your monobook page.
 * 2) Edit it, and add this in;
 * importScript('User:AzaToth/twinkle.js');
 * 1) Save the page, and hard-refresh it; this is usually done by holding the Ctrl key and pressing F5 at the same time.


 * Hope that helps! You should notice new tabs popping up at the top of any new pages you visit. Cheers, Master of Puppets Care to share?  21:06, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm... you wouldn't happen to be using Internet Explorer, would you? Master of Puppets Care to share?  21:10, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Try clearing your cache (tools -> clear private data). If that doesn't work, I'll check your monobook and see what could be up. Master of Puppets Care to share?  21:14, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Wait, so we're on the same page... you're sure you bypassed your cache while still in your monobook? If not, go there and do the Ctrl F5 thing; if yes, then I'm not sure what's wrong, as the code is correct. I guess checking Bypass your cache wouldn't hurt... Master of Puppets Care to share?  21:23, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Darn, so you can't see any additional tabs? You know, where the 'edit this page' tab is? That sucks. You could try contacting User:Voice of All or User:AzaToth, as I have no idea what it could be. Sorry. Master of Puppets Care to share?  21:31, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, not too concerning, but I'm not too good with code. Sadly. Master of Puppets Care to share?  21:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Suggesting Haslach (Freiburg) for deletion
It is okay to be a deletionist, but as far as I know all villages in the world are notable. As most parts of Freiburg, the city, are also villages, surely this must be notable.

Sant singh sekhon
Hey, again. Don't think I'm singling you out, we just seem to be hitting the same articles. I've removed the speedy deletion tag from Sant singh sekhon because the first deletion was due to a copyright violation, so this isn't really a repost, and it doesn't qualify for a speedy deletion because there is a claim of notability - winning a President's prize. I have no idea if the prize is notable or not, but if you still think it should be deleted after my removal of the speedy tag, go ahead and list it at AfD. <font face="Comic Sans"> Corvus cornix talk  23:00, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Wow. Just seconds after I submit, you request speedy deletion. You don't even give me a chance to build on the article, and obviously didn't bother finding out what Mixx is.

Street children angeles philippines
Hi Kannie. I think the user created this page, is doing a good job. This page is specifically for a city in Philippines. So how is the merging proposal? It would not be possible to hold all the info here to street children article. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 18:07, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree that Street children in general gets more attention. But as you can see the from the article, that gives a worldwide view, and that can be said the mother article. Just like Poverty, and then comes Poverty in United States, Poverty in Pakistan etc. etc. I am specifically telling it because it is specific of a particular geographic location which would have unique characteristics and different from a general worlwide view. Moreover you can see the new article is quite long enough and have a wide range of issues like Drugs, Health Problems

Legal Action etc. etc. which is too limited to a geographic boundary. How these huge specialised info will stay in the mother article.Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 18:20, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

synonym on LMF
Hi Kannie, This is my first article and I don't want to destroy anything. I just wrote the article "lexical markup framework" that is usually called LMF, for short. But the problem is that LMF is already an article: it's an old Cantonese music band. It's a short hand for "Lazy Mutha Fucka". I inserted a sort of choice table in the beginning of their article, but it's not very nice. May be the best way could be to create a specific page for "Lazy Mutha Fucka" and create a specific page presenting the two choices? What is your opinion?

Speedy deletion
I had noticed that you had repeatedly place speedy deletion warning on pages that are newly created, I appreciate your effort to make wikipedia a spam free, advertisement free, neutral encyclopedia. However, please refrain from adding that tag too fast to a newly creation page as it may still be a stub without expansion and clean up, it may be okay to add in the warning two weeks after the page is created and not improved up to standards as deleting a newly created page from a new user may severely discourage him/her from creating any new pages in the future, also you could bring the issue to articles for deletion section as it may be a good idea to test that you opinion is correct and that may let the author knew more information as for why the page had been deleted.

Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article Secret Lovers (film), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process.

Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

 * Artesia Digital Media Group had qa clear assertion of notability when you placed the speedy--another admin quite properly removed the speedy.

 * Clyde serda also asserts awards, and is therefore not speedy either. Yet another admin correctly declined the speedy.

Regards, Ira Jai (talk) 04:41, 6 January 2008 (UTC) Mdnote (talk) 16:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC) thanks Kannie for the alert, I'm not actually sure if I deleted that page, but I will try. I'm just starting out on wiki and every tip helps! p.s. no critters for 3+ years, you can do itMdnote (talk) 16:25, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Lott
I simply pulled the material from HarperCollins and referenced the material back to the website. It seemed wholly more reliable that the previous material on Lott's book, which was rather partisan in nature, yet was permitted to remain.

Your essay
Hi, I have moved your essay to a more appropriate title in the proper (wikipedia) namespace. I have also changed the title from "must" to "should" as it is more reflective of its nature as an essay and not policy. I figured it was appropriate to let you know.-- <font color="midnightblue">Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 19:38, 9 January 2008 (UTC) The new location is Why you should be nice to people who vandalize,  which should have been updated in your watchlist as a result of the move.-- <font color="midnightblue">Oni Ookami Alfador Talk 20:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

NSA warrantless survalience edit
...ummm. the statement "Warrantless wiretapping violates the Fourth Amendment" is NPOV It is a fact, and thus NPOV. Acccording to the Supreme Court in Katz v. United States, listening to a private conversation is a "search" per se. THe fourth Amendment specifically protects

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

In other words, The government cannot initiate a "search" of any non-public place without a warrent describing the place searched and the object or information they are looking/listening for. Facts: THe FOurth AMendment protects nonpublic areas from search by the government unle4ss they have a warrant. A telephone conversation is a non-public place and is protected by the fourth amendment. The NSA is listening on Telephone conversation without a warrant. Conclusion: THE NSA warrantless survailence program violates (for the majority) the Fourth Amendment.

please, feel fre to debate.
 * Actually, I generally agree with you. Warantless domestic spying goes aganist the sentiment of the constitution. However, there are several people who think otherwise. For example, I'm sure a few people in the government do agree, and a lot of people feel strongly about it. For this reason, such a statement would need to have an inline citation. --Kannie | talk 03:45, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

..There are also several pyschopaths who believe in killing lots of people. just wanted to point that out.

I would also like to point out, for the benifit of others, that Amadenhijad (iranian president) thinks otherwise about the Holocaust.

 * Actually, I'm trying to commit one 'official' act of wikilove a day when I'm on wikipedia, whether it's putting or , or giving out barnstars. I like to pat people on the back for constructive contributions. --Kannie | talk 02:30, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
