Ordomag subtemplates
Thanks for unprotecting and. They won't need reprotecting because they are no longer high risk. The risk had come through the transclusions of on



and through these on convert, ft to m, ft2 to m2, bbl to t, etc., and then on to hundreds maybe thousands of pages. has recently been updated and the subtemplates of and  which had been transcluding  directly have been switched over to the new version of. This eliminated the need for the entire array of 's subtemplates as noted on template talk:ordomag. I'd hoped to have these unprotected so they template subspace could be cleaned up. J IM ptalk·cont 05:14, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I've moved the subtemplates to preserve history and put them up for deletion through WP:TfD though they could probably go under CSD G7. J IM ptalk·cont 05:30, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Editing to correct "POV"
Per your closure here, how exactly do you edit out POV, when as I thought I had made clear in the nomination and comments, it is the title and premise of the article that violates POV, not just certain certain portions of the text, which if you look at the talk pages is an irredeemable mess anyway (but that was not my motiviation for nominating deletion). MickMacNee (talk) 13:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Despite the deletion arguments, there is still a strong showing for "keep." The Islamic world is a geographical location; for comparison, see List of United States inventions. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:49, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * The loose and varied definition of the Muslim world has absolutely no comparison to the tight definition of a country like the US, on so many levels. And, even if it were a tightly defined region (i.e. a federation like the European Union or the CIS for arguments sake), why should it override the practice in the example US article you gave, and is widely used in wikipedia for other topics, things by country? This only seems to reinforce the biased opinon that somehow the US is the corrolary to Islam, which makes no sense when listing arbitrary things like inventions instead of more relevant topics. Remember, this is not a particularly societo-cultural topic common across Islam, indeed no explanation is even given for the grouping on these grounds at all, it is merely presented as fact that the relation is notable. Either the list is a list of inventions by muslims (which I believe is probably also barred as NPOV and OCAT, and which this article is probably an attempt to runaround), or it is a list of inventions by country. Anything else is a manufactured correlation in violation of NPOV, not fixable by any amount of editing without keeping the basic violation in tact. What happens if someone lists an invention made by say an Iraqi Christian in this article? Which list would an invention made by a Muslim living in Los Angeles be added to? What has a clock invented in Egypt got in common with an abacus invented in Chechnya? Absolutely nothing. A bizarre closure in my opinon. MickMacNee (talk) 02:52, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * You may take it to deletion review if you wish. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 04:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I would rather you gave a better explanation here that can be referenced from the article talk page. In my experience deletion review is a waste of time, and not because the deletion is always right. I'm frankly fed up of admins using 'you can go to Drv' as an excuse not to explain their decisions.

Kabi_Nazrul_Government_College
Actually, this is a reverse copyvio .... Banglabhasha.org seem to copy Wikipedia articles sans any attribution. For example, compare Dhaka_Central_Jail with this. They not only copied the article text verbatim, but also copied the photograph that I myself had taken on December 22, 2006, (we had a Wiki-photo shoot trip along with other wikipedians, and uploaded all the photos to Wikipedia).

Looking at other articles, it seems that the website is doing wholesale copying of wikipedia articles. You can verify this by picking any article in the site, and checking the corresponding article/photos in Wikipedia.

So, I request you to restore the article, and in future, note the site as an uncredited Wiki mirror. I'm posting a note to ANB to let other admins know about this. Thanks. --Ragib (talk) 06:56, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I was editing Comet (song) to add refs while you deleted it, and it was recreated. How does this work now? Ford MF (talk) 02:49, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Uh, wait, SPEEDY DELETION? It was not a copy of the old material, it was the old material with the refs the lack of which caused the previous AfD voters to go with delete.  At the very least I think it requires a second AfD.  Ford MF (talk) 02:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know that I have closed your AfD nomination as "speedy keep". Why am I telling you this?

Please reply here. Thank you.--RyRy5 (talk ) 07:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, seeing as you were the admin who protected Giovani dos Santos I thought I'd ask for it to be unprotected - it is no longer needed as the edit war taking place was regarding a proposed move to another club and some editors were stating it has gone ahead for it actually had.

Bear Magazine Article
Somebody has chosen to omit data from the definition of "Bear Magazine" repeatedly. My magazine, 100% BEEF, is the publishing heir to Bear Magazine, which unceremoniously disappeared in 2002. The contributing writers, photographers and artists who created Bear Magazine now contribute regularly to my magazine, 100% BEEF, now entering our 7th year of publishing. A new publisher has chosen to edit and omit references to my publication in the "Bear Magazine" definition, and keeps editing the content to that end, even though 100% BEEF Magazine's information has been part of the Bear Magazine definition for years now. And, when I re-edit the page for accuracy, they report me for "Vandalism". I have not vandalized any Wikipedia Pages; they have. Please help me. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rustyspot (talk • contribs) 07:26, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Claim of vandalism on Bear Magazine
Hi King of Hearts. You recently warned Rustyspot for this edit, which you referred to as vandalism. I think if you take another look you'll agree that it was in fact a good-faith edit made by a user without a full understanding of wikisyntax, not vandalism. Just thought I'd give you a friendly reminder to check these things, especially when made by a new user. Best, Olaf Davis | Talk 10:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I tend to agree with Olaf Davis. The edits were (in my opinion) obviously not vandalism.  There is currently a conversation over on the Help Desk by the user who, understandably, has a few ruffled feathers.

Articles for deletion/Nigger Head Island (Queensland)
You just closed Articles for deletion/Nigger Head Island (Queensland) early. That's probably fine. I have asked several times for someone -- anyone -- to point me toward the guideline for notability of places, since I've been unable to find one. Can you provide a link? Thanks. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:03, 13 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Here are the (proposed) guidelines: Notability (Places and transportation). -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw that one, but it doesn't seem to apply, and it's not what people were arguing in the AfD. I'm not trying to be a dick, but how is an uninhabited small island notable under that guideline? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, it's currently incomplete; you can help make the guideline more comprehensive. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I could help, but that isn't answering my question. You closed an AfD as keep, but most of the !votes were based on non-existent guidelines? Yet the existing proposed guideline appears to suggest that it wouldn't be notable (lacks significant coverage). Is that a fair assessment? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:25, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Generally, (relatively large) places that exist and that can be verified are inherently notable. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 01:30, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * By all accounts, this is a small island (see the AfD comments), without significant media coverage, despite its name. If this is "generally" known, how do editors find it out? Delicious carbuncle (talk) 01:35, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

That doesn't change its size, or its media coverage. I keep asking questions and you keep responding with non-answers. Please see my earlier questions.

Help!
Dear King of Hearts,

I need your help immediatelly as an administer who edited Galatasaray S.K. recently. I'ev just check the page a few mins ago and realized that there are too many recent changes and almost all of them are vandalizm by Turkish users, possibly rival fans. Squad is ruined, article order is upside down from squad section on, etc. There is a tool which lets you to revert the page to a spesific date or edit, but i'm not too much capable about technical tools. Could you manage this situation, please? I am not willing to do that but to alter the page on semi-protected mode would be useful for a while due to prevent possible similar circumstances...

Thank you! Umi1903 (talk) 18:28, 14 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I've semi-protected the page for 2 weeks. Since you probably know more about the club than me, that should give you ample time to fix the vandalism. -- King of &hearts;   &diams;   &clubs;  &spades; 18:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi -- I did the disambiguation page for Matt Morris.

Speedy deletion of User:King of Hearts/Notepad/Vandalism on Wheels!
A tag has been placed on User:King of Hearts/Notepad/Vandalism on Wheels!, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Ludwigs 2 23:42, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

RHUL Bears Basketball deletion
Hi, I was hoping you could further explain why the RHUL Bears Basketball page I created was deleted? Consensus seemed to be that the club does not warrant its own page on wikipedia, but how is it less justified that say, Royal Holloway Vikings (the American Football team - soon to become Bears) which is a far less significant team within the University? It was my first attempt at a page so I was trying to learn as I went, I think early versions of the page perhaps drew attention as they contained numerous formatting errors which were latter corrected.
