User talk:LastChanceToBe

Bigsister1306
In regards to the article Drop Dead Records, I have to tell you that the speedy delete tag was not accidentally deleted by the user in question---she has deleted it no less than three times today. On the only other article she has created, Velvet Shadow, she has followed the same course of action. I have brought this to the attention of an administrator, and hopefully we will get it rectified. Thanks for your continuing efforts. ---Charles 01:28, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, that explains a lot. I wonder if she's a new user and not certain how things work, or if she's doing it deliberately in the hopes that it'll make the page fly under the radar.  In any case, thanks for letting me know!  LastChanceToBe 01:30, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You are welcome. Since she seems to be connected to the label in question, it makes all of her edits suspect.  Regardless of her motives, deletion of speedy tags is vandalism, and I have warned her about it.  I hope it sinks in.  Thank you again for your efforts. ---Charles 01:44, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Bluestripe
It appears that you've noticed the same thing I did that the user Bluestripe seems to be advertising for his employer or those affiliated with his employer (see his comments on the talk page for The_Strategy_Paradox. It looks like between us we should be able to get rid of most of his spamvertisments.  Thanks.  --Hansonc 00:31, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi. Yes, "Date=" will not work, it needs to be "date=". Rgds, Rich Farmbrough, 21:38 8 March 2007 (GMT).

Poetic journal
Why do you keep deleting "poetic journal" links... Is there something wrong with them? Arianakrantzite 01:50, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not convinced that the poetic journal is a recognized genre of poetry. I believe that more references from established and recognized critics should be presented showing that poetic journals are a known quantity, before articles for writers - especially writers from from the early second millennium - are linked to this new article.  LastChanceToBe 01:55, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Got it, Thanks. I'm new to Wikipedia... Learning the ropes... I won't contest your take on it, in the last four or five years the genre has begun to emerge and a number of important writers like Joanne Kyger are begining to adopt the term. At any rate, I won't contest your point.


 * On another point... How can I set the "Bootstrap Productions" page right. Like I said, I'm new to all this. It seems as though you've tagged it with all sorts of issues. It's taken me all weekend to get this site up and I am beginning to regret my forray into Wikipedia. I certainly am not getting paid to do this and I don't owe these guys a thing. I just thought it would be a nice thing to do for a non-profit that I thought was doing good work -- publishing good books, putting one of the best poetry reading series in Boston, giving readings across the country, reviewing books, etc --it's all in the links. Anyway, PLEASE give me some direction. Let me know what can stay, and what needs to go. I'm happy to make the changes. I just need some direction. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Arianakrantzite (talk • contribs)

Black supremacy edit summary
Regarding this edit summary: Not only did the article linked not call for the torture of Tim Robbins, but it's more than clear that WSJ.com is a reliable source. There are plenty of reasons to reject the edit: why create bogus ones that sideline the debate and encourage edit-warring? -- TedFrank 23:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
 * From the article which was linked: "Upon his return from Athens, [ Tim ] Robbins was thrown in prison and tortured. Oh wait, sorry--no he wasn't. Ah well, one can always dream." This is what I was referring to.  Such comments are blatantly POV.  --LastChanceToBe 08:05, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Very clearly a joke in the context of the column noting that Robbins is resorting to ignorant hyperbole. As for the RS standard, you seem to be confused.  Wikipedia articles need to meet the standard of WP:A and WP:NPOV.  Articles cited by Wikipedia just need to meet the standard of WP:RS, and can have a POV: otherwise, the only thing Wikipedia could cite would be almanacs and encyclopedias, since no media source complies with NPOV. -- TedFrank 10:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

SLR
I noticed that you showed an interest in Sri Lanka related articles. Please take a look at WikiProject Sri Lanka Reconciliation, a bipartisan effort to improve collaboration on and coverage of the Sri Lankan Civil War. Among other things, we collected a number of recommendations for getting your point across while keeping out of trouble. We're here to help! In any event, we invite you to leave us a message on our [|talk page]. Happy editing! RaveenS 14:20, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Why the hell you've removed DealSucker.com from One_deal_a_day?
DealSucker.com has been established the same day as DODTracker.com. No topics in forums? What the hell relation of one deal a day sites to forums???? Looks like you don't have any idea what going on on the market and not really qualified for editing marketing articles! I wondering why wiki doesn't block your access! Open your eyes! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jazar (talk • contribs) 20:07, 19 March 2007 (UTC).

Your comment on Articles for deletion/Rajkumar Kanagasingam
I fully sympathize with your comment, but I think it's moot. After having been similarly uninvolved with Sri Lanka, before, I've been a mediator in the Sri Lanka conflict for the last 3 months. I am now at a point where I don't think anymore that this can be solved with nice appeals, or with punishing individual accounts, for that matter.

The AfD case is complicated because it is an ethnic conflict, which means that counting votes will not do justice. Kanagasingam is Tamil; Tamils are a minority in Sri Lanka but have strong support in India; so they added the India tag. Maybe there is a chance that this be decided on the WP:N merits alone? Maybe I could propose that all votes by accounts who have in the last 20 edits been POV pushing should be discounted? Of course, that would leave the question open who decides that ...

Please take a look at my evidence in an ArbCom case. I think we need a systemic solution for this; if you have any ideas, please let me know. &mdash; Sebastian 22:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, how can this page be corrected so that it doesn't read like an advertisement? Is there a particular part that needs work? Also, what's the process for removing the 'advertisement' tag? Can I remove it or does it have to be the person that put it up in the first place? Sorry, I'm new to this. Thanks! HeadFonez 22:35, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
