CURB
Hello Peridon, Regarding deletion of Citizens Uprooting Racism in Bermuda. I can provide links to verify information e.g. http://www.limeyinbermuda.com/latest_news/docs/2005_Throne_Speech.pdf and www.curb.bm and our new website www.uprootingracism.bm I would like to rewrite to make it less like an advertisement and would be grateful if you could undelete so I can do so.

Hi and some guidance
Hi Peridon -

per my note, am new to wiki commenting. Appreciate your tips on protocol (i.e. comments and signing). You seem to know the ropes - and I am curious. How does a page get deleted? I get it there there is a nomination and a second, and then a discussion for 10 days. On the 10th day, who decides? who pushes the delete button?

thanks for your guidance,

--Alexandra Spencer (talk) 22:26, 4 September 2010 (UTC) A.S.

... and how do you respond to a comment without making it a new *** block? --Alexandra Spencer (talk) 22:29, 4 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Peridon -

I don't want to clutter up your page - do I respond to your note here? or on my page? sorry for being such a novice. --Alexandra Spencer (talk) 19:37, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Some people like to keep all a particular correspondence on one page. I don't worry about it. (It's rarely anything so important to the future of either me or Wikipedia.) Don't worry about cluttering - there's a nice little bot that comes in every so often and tidies the older sections into neat archives. (Not quite sure where they are - but as I never look at them I don't bother looking for them...) Anyone who knows the month and year of anything they want can use a copy, paste and alter thing at the top of my page. If you want to keep to one page, but want the other party person to know you,ve said something, just put on their talk page, preferably at the bottom (unless they request otherwise). "sorry for being such a novice" - did you think I emerged fully equipped with all these codes and procedures like Aphrodite emerging from her dad's headache? (If you look at the edit page, you'll see how I manage to keep that curly bracket thing from operating so you can see the code not the display.) Peridon (talk) 21:13, 5 September 2010 (UTC)


 * thanks again for giving me some guidance. Much appreciated.  So - let's use the LP page as an example (as we're both familiar with it).  Seems to me there was important information, a number of good independent cites, etc.  Why didn't pass the notability test - aren't cites the criteria?  As for elections, I do get it that promoting a candidate can become akin to an advertisement.  (and there are wikis for this stuff like ballotopedia (I think I spelled it right)).  On the other hand, so many of us rely on wiki for a quick summary of the facts.  Incumbents are on there because they are elected - that's sort of free advertising for them, right?  Isn't it a public service to get info out about candidates?  Thanks for your help and thoughts, A.S.--Alexandra Spencer (talk) 22:21, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

LOL!
Fastest finger in the West, pardner. :) Seriously, I saw it near the top of the new pages list, opened it and thought "yikes!"  Wish guys like that would read the rules more carefully.  :)  --PMDrive1061 (talk) 18:01, 16 September 2010 (UTC)

Re
Yep, you too huh? Not quite as funny as this, but certainly added a nice touch to my day. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 19:20, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Nice... Things like this tell me we're doing something right... Peridon (talk) 19:21, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Interrupted for a moment there, RL got in my way. Yeah, I enjoy NPP; the attacks aren't terribly frequent, and I really don't mind them.  If anything, I actually find them somewhat amusing.

messages?
First of all, your user page is excellent, very funny! Also, as you seem nice and helpful I hope you don't mind me asking you; a few times I've found a page with messages or discussion in little green boxes. Not sure if any of them were from you. Anyhow, although I'm normally computer savvy I can't find this page, and I don't want to be rude and not answer the messages. Could you be so kind to tell me where I could find such a page? --James W. Turner (talk) 00:19, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
