Megadeth demo page re-created
Hi Koavf, I don;t know if you remember before, but a user created an article on a Megadeth demo EP that you later marked for a deletion review. Well, I noticed today, that same user has re-started the article again under a different title: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Rites_%28Megadeth_EP%29 Last Rites (Megadeth EP). I would assume this is a violation of the deletion consensus on the deletion review page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/1984_Demo_%28Megadeth_Demo%29), so knowing you nominated the article the first time, I thought you should be the person that I should report this to. I also mentioned it on the talk page for the deletion review. --L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:08, 26 November 2010 (UTC) I just went back to the page, and looks like you already found it, so go ahead and disregard this then. --L1A1 FAL (talk) 20:12, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

WikiProject Oregon redirect tags
I'm wondering why you've tagged all of the redirects that point to WikiProject Oregon-related articles with our WikiProject banner. We are a project that keeps very good track of our articles, and generally, we have only tagged redirects that might merit being split out from the target article one day. In other words, our project doesn't really care to have its tag on routine redirect articles, as we have enough to keep an eye on and we don't really "care" about the redirs. Can you explain? I'll take it up on the main project page, but likely I won't get much input because it's a routine housekeeping matter. The additions may screw up our bots and scripts that track our article changes though. Valfontis (talk) 22:44, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Listen up
Okay. You wanna know why I'm doing this? Because I don't get it! Why do you want to delete my article? It's my first time on Wikipedia, and this is what I get. What's so bad about a demo? It's actually valuable information, and it's how a band gets discovered. So I don't know why you are accusing me for making an article. Also, I had no idea that Barnstars are actually a real thing on Wikipedia. I thought they were just something someone just thought of, so I apologize for that. I just want to know why you want to delete my article. What's so bad about it? Do you guys like hate me or something? I really do not understand this. This is something not really to discuss about. The article has valid information about the demo. I even been putting up resources. SO PLEASE, STOP ACCUSING ME FOR EVERYTHING I DO ON THIS WEBSITE!!!! Tnd900 (talk) 04:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Listen up 2
Okay. I'm a little better now. Anyway, I found out why it is hard to find information on this. IT WAS NEVER OFFICIALLY RELEASED! I just added how it was never officially released. But still, it still kind of good to have. Now listen, I'm a Megadeth fan, a true metalhead. This would be something good to have. By "never officially released", that means only about a few hundreds of people heard it (before it was in the remaster of course) but still, rare demos can be very valuable. Anything rare is valuable. Want to know something? My friend's dad's friend actually got a rare version of Ride The Lightning by Metallica, the rare green misprint version from France. Original price of normal album $10-$30. How much for the rare misprinted version? About $50-$150! I also heard that there is a version of the album that has actually a red logo on it, only 3 found. How much for that? $1,100!!! Picture you find a rare demo in your local record store, how much do you think it will cost? Demos sell for only like $5, but a rare demo, $40. Just think about it. By the way, I'm sorry for yelling at you. Tnd900 (talk) 04:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Ok
Oh, okay I now get it. I guess there isn't really any information on this article. Go head and delete that article, I just wanted to feel proud for making my first article, I don't really care anymore. I, The Creator of the article, give you permission to delete the article. I just really want to make an article and feel proud about it. Tnd900 (talk) 04:28, 29 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi there

I previously moved it to the uncapitalized form based on the consensus at the talk page. Is there a reason why you are moving it back? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 18:42, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

It's okay, I can move it back. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 18:46, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Hmm... that's quite a few. I only have time to deal with this article; I'm reluctant to unilaterally move all of those (though I agree on principle). I'll leave another admin to deal with the rest. If you like, you can request moves for them (all at a time). Thanks and have a nice day. --Rifleman 82 (talk) 18:50, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Project tags
Just a reminder that subjects which are specific to New York City, such as New York Eye and Ear Infirmary should be tagged with the WikiProject NYC tag and not with the WikiProject New York tag. "New York" in this case refers to the state outside of the city. Beyond My Ken (talk) 21:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Your plan sounds good. Just be aware that there are some tricky ones.  With sports teams, for instance, the "New York Rangers", "New York Knicks", "New York Mets" and "New York Yankees" are all based in the city and should be tagged NYC, but the "New York Giants" and "New York Jets" are actually based in New Jersey, so even a New York state tag is problematic for them -- althought their history is in the city before they moved out to Jersey.  (The "New York Liberty" are New Jersey too, I think.) The "New York Islanders" on the other hand, are outside the city and should get the state tag.

Redirect tagging
What's the point of tagging Talk:Utah State Route 2 (1920s-1962)? No one cares about a redirect that serves only to transfer readers from a title with a hyphen to one with an en dash, and tagging it only 1) adds cruft to the assessment logs and categories and 2) makes it difficult if not impossible to find talk pages that remained even after the article became a redirect because the talk page had discussion. Tagging every redirect, whether it's useful like a merged route, or relatively useless like a typo or a character difference, makes the Redirect-Class category useless. –  T M F 23:40, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Barry Manilow albums
Besides the fact that I don't believe Barry Manilow should considered "soft rock" anyway, using the artist's infobox as a criteria for how the albums should be categorized isn't entirely appropriate. It assumes then that every album within the artist's library can be classified as soft rock, but Manilow has recorded albums of big band, show tunes, and Sinatra covers. That can all be considered pop at best but not soft rock. Similarly, Linda Ronstadt should probably not be under the category Category:Country albums by American artists because her album What's New is clearly not a country album, while at the same time, her infobox shows a genre of "big band" and you wouldn't categorize all her albums as Category:Big band albums, would you? Categorization of an artist's albums should be based on every album within the category, not a generalization of the artist's career. --Starcheerspeaksnewslostwars (talk) 19:56, 19 December 2010 (UTC)

1982 Demo Afd

Christian Atheist
The reason I prefer to see Christian Atheist with both words capitalized is because I consider the word 'Atheist' in this case to be the noun, and also the main component to the beliefs. The person in this case is an atheist first. The word 'Christian' is just an adjective describing the type of atheism. When they are together, it is a religion, and so would be capitalized. So I don't see the capitalization of atheist as needing to be contingent upon whether or not an article is about Christian Radicalism. It is simply so that the main part of the phrase gets at least the same amount of prominence as the adjective.

If this is not acceptable within the confines of that particular article, is there a way within the notability rules of Wikipedia for me to be allowed to write an alternative article on Christian Atheism? I wish to avoid an edit war with others, but I think that there are multitudes of atheists that belong to various branches of Christianity, who are not well represented by that article. The article is way too confined to one particular author's view of the phrase. In addition, I think that if both are capitalized, it emphasizes that it is a religious belief and/or practice, and that the person is an atheist first, and secondarily a Christian. So when the words are combined, I think that when it is referring to a particular type of religion, it should be capitalized, as in 'Christian Atheist', or 'Christian Atheism'.

Thank you,

Greek redirects tagging
Hello and a happy holiday season! Thanks for tagging Greek articles, but could you please take care to leave the redirects out?

Bare urls
I would appreciate if you don't add or alike when only one-two references have bare urls. This diverts (me personally) from more important tasks. The vast majority of WP articles have more substantial (bare url) referencing problems. Your tagging one bare url ref and my fixing it is not worth our time and two edits spent, IMO. Cheers. Materialscientist (talk) 01:56, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * It takes almost equal time to complete that one bare url or to tag it. Why don't you? You have already spotted that bare url in the (often long) list. It often takes me much longer to understand why you tagged the article. Materialscientist (talk) 02:03, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Only FAs require consistent citation style (even GAs don't). The main point of bareurl is to provide details for recovery of a potentially broken link (+some cosmetic details). Click the url and type in the title (and date if available). Come to think another way - tagging does not fix anything, thus those seconds spent on it is actually waste of your time (look at bareurl backlog to see for yourself); actual fixing the reference is more constructive, even if it takes a few seconds longer. Materialscientist (talk) 02:14, 8 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Scripts/bot do help a lot, but not for one reference - which is why this thread. You don't have to reply - just think about it. I very rarely complain about such issues (prefer silently fixing). Materialscientist (talk) 02:57, 8 January 2011 (UTC)

Question on Demo Albums
Hi Koavf, I don't know if you remember me, but I asked you about someone recreating a page on a Megadeth demo album a while back. Anyway, I was hoping you could clarify for me the actual status of demo albums (I was under the impression ALL demo albums lacked notability by default). Are they fair game, so long as an artist page exists, or are they deletable content as per Criteria for speedy deletion section A9, or is it under CfSD non-criteria #6 (failure to assert importance, but does not fall under A7 or A9 categories) and not eligible?

 * Well, I think what I'll do is try to do a little more research first.
