Baritone instruments
I agree that the information about Baritone instruments didn't belong in Baritone, but we don't have tenor instruments or soprano instruments or any of those. I wonder if it might be better to combine all those as a new section in the article Musical instrument classification? &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 22:32, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * True. I did it pretty quickly without much forethought. You want to lead the charge to begin the article? :) RasputinAXP 02:16, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for tagging these pages. I'll block him if he keeps it up. --Duk 05:20, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

Hi, deletionist
Hi! Users and  has created a lot of record-label-cruft for Serious Business Records and everything affliated with it. A good deal of their articles are stubs and probably nn. Since you are a self-proclaimed deletionist I thought I could bring it to your attention :)

Kulturnett.no
Got a deletion request on kulturnett.no from you, could you explain why? They could probably be a major contributor of material for wikipedia about Norway.

Hi
Hey, RaputinAXP, I noticed some of your deletionist work here, so I decided to give you this Deletionist's Barnstar

Cultural references to Jack Kerouac
Aloha. I'm just dropping you a note to ask about splitting Jack Kerouac. I was just wondering if you were waiting for comments from other editors before doing it, or if you think I should just go ahead. Let me know. --Viriditas | Talk 01:09, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

WP:CP
Hi, you've reported copyright infringements to WP:CP in the last week, a new measure was recently passed to allow the speedy deltion of new pages that are cut and paste copyvios. Please follow these instructions if you come across this type of copyvio. Thanks. --nixie 00:22, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

AfD
Sorry, I thought it was an unsigned nomination with the vote hanging off it. My mistake. -James Howard (talk/web) 18:56, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

FatherSkeel, Dogman1, Hubris
Hey Rasputin,

From your edit over at Pocket Mumias it sounds as if you've run into this guy before. Whether sock puppets or team of vandals, there's clearly a concerted effort here (compare their contribs or check out my notes at The Man Known as S). What's the best way to handle this? I'm already going through and reverting any unverifiable contributions, but it took me a bit to put this together and I want to help future editors do the same. Your thoughts? --Dvyost 02:05, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi. Perhaps you could check out Articles for deletion/Extinction (band) (2nd nomination). Last time I nominated it, it didn't get a single vote. Punkmorten 20:49, 26 October 2005 (UTC)

AFD?
The article Contact Consequences is being cleaned up. Why delete it ? Seen some of what is on your talk page. A fatal malfunction has occurred on this site. The article is intended to state WHAT may happen should alien life be found/ it finds this planet. I've listed 2 historical "alien" contacts, one hostile, one not hostile, but that one soured later. The hostile one is when the Spanish made contact with native civilizations in the Americas, and destroyed them. The other one is when the English made contact with Native Americans, which is recalled every Thanksgiving in the US. That friendly contact later turned sour. If aliens found this planet, how will they treat the human race ? How will the human race treat them ?Martial Law 00:27, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

The malfunction was on a HTML Tidy program.Martial Law 00:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

How do I nominate someone to be a Admin., such as yourself ? I'm new to the whole Wikipedia system. Appreciate the honesty. Do'nt see it often in this day and age.Martial Law 00:42, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

Malfunction
The HTML Tidy program failed, resulting in possibly numerous vandalisation reports(Hate to be in the CVU's shoes right now)to the CVU, and taking Wikipedia down. That qualifies AS a catastrophic malfunction.Martial Law 07:45, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

You tagged this article for speedy deletion and I reverted it to an earlier version with content. You might want to take a look and decide if you want to AfD it. --GraemeL (talk) 16:18, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

When you created a new page
When you created a new page for each of my commentaries how would anyone find each of them if one does a search from the wiki home page.

I have finally figured out how I am going to contribute. I need to know that people will be able to see what I submit. --Tjkphilosofe 08:26, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

I do have own web site and have links to my blogs there. I am in the process of figuring out how to best make use of and contribute to wikipedia.--Tjkphilosofe 13:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Bands and WP:NMG
Hi. Once again it's time for band deletion. I recently found a whole host of musical articles which don't seem to meet the guidelines (they're dubious at best). I might try to look into it in the future, but I could need some help. You did a very good job last time, with the Serious Business Records thing.

The articles in question are: Abe Froman (band), Bitter Like The Bean Records, Boomfancy, Carrie Nations (band), Chris Johnston, Defiance Ohio (band), Erin Tobey, Harlan records, Japanther, Los Gatos Negros, Madeline Adams, Operation: Cliff Clavin, Rosa (band), Soophie Nun Squad, The Devil is Electric, The Max Levine Ensemble and finally The Sissies. Wow.

Kind regards and good luck, Punkmorten 20:01, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for doing this!! Punkmorten 13:28, 27 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Sorry for piling things on you... but speaking of band deletion, perhaps you could look at some bands I nominated last week? I fear they might be kept with "no consensus" if they don't get more votes. The AFD's in concern are Missbrukarna, Basket of Death and Kindergarten Hazing Ritual. Thanks, Punkmorten 13:50, 27 November 2005 (UTC)


 * Another heads up: Articles for deletion/Victory red currently has 0 votes. Have a nice day ---Punkmorten 22:22, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

You were correct. How rare for WP... MagnaVox 02:44, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Multiple deletions
I am sorry for the trouble I caused. I did not reallize I was doing anything wrong. I only signed up today. From this point on, I will only add links to the material. These links are not for my own websites. Just a good spot on the web. comment by


 * The link(s?) added by WF were links to Dropzone.com. That site is widely considered as _the_ skydiving site on the Internet; the site has nearly 50000 users. Of course, being such a popular site, there is more skydiving information at DZcom than WP, and therefore you could add a link from any WP article about skydiving. I'm new here as well so I don't know much about the policy regarding external links. Maybe you could point me to an article about them? Skydiver 11:17, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

As far as I know there are no mistakes in the English version. I think he is categorized as "Fußballspieler (Deutschland)" because he, having lived in Germany since 1994 or so, is not counted as a foreign player anymore. On consideration I decided not to include him in the German footballers category. He's not quite Otto Addo, if you know what I mean.

The article is already translated from the German version, so there's not really much important to add I reckon. Instead check out the stubby Christian Wörns, and Sebastian Kehl who doesn't even have an article.

On reflection, it's probably best not to include him in the German footballers category. However, I do agree that it's useful to include him in the German Wikipedia under German footballers for categorization purposes. To include him in the South African category seems best here. Thank you for clarifying this.

As for Christian Wörns and Sebastian Kehl, I'm certainly going to get to work on these very soon amongst the other articles on my creation list. Maybe I'll get going on these next. Thank you for recommending these, I'm on the case. Bobo192 18:12, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

Actually, that was Punkmorten, I just keep an eyeball on his talk page for AfDs when the two of us discuss them. Glad to have been a help, though!

AFDs is a point and a half which I hadn't considered. Are these German players notable enough to appear on the English Wikipedia? In my opinion they are, but I don't know. I'm going to continue with this work anyway, if nothing else it helps with my German>English translation, which is getting slowly better, so..

Do you have any thoughts on this? Bobo192 18:30, 16 December 2005 (UTC)

RasputinAXP said: Professional footie players are notable and I'd see no reason for them to come up for an AfD.

That is what I had been hoping your answer would be. Excellent. Thank you. Bobo192 20:54, 16 December 2005 (UTC)
