Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Nikki Hobden
Hi, can you consider some point about the article.....it was put together with help of other adult models that have done there own on here, and there articales are still up and running, the awards she been nominated for have there own artical on her http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UKAFTA when the topic was first submitted it was declined for notability and the reason was the amount of hits that came up on google onlt being a 1000 or so this has changed alot.

 * Some things to consider next time around. ~ Amory ( user •  talk  •  contribs ) 18:44, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Are you kidding me?
Yes, I know WP:OWN. It doesn't apply outside of mainspace. I've been trying to get this article published for days now, and I'm not going to be sabotaged by some editor with an account who could publish the article at will. Hey, since you are so keen, why don't you publish it, wiseguy? -- 209.6.238.201 (talk) 05:57, 8 September 2009 (UTC)


 * WP:OWN does indeed apply to all pages, not just mainspace, for example, see USERSPACE.  Chzz  ►  06:10, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, that's a very rare example, dealing specifically with userpage censorship. I still don't think unapproved AFC articles should be the subject of edit wars. If there is a point of contention, then, ipso facto, there should be an article. -- 209.6.238.201 (talk) 06:13, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Sparks. All I was trying to attest to on WP:AFC is the notability of the organization per WP:CORP. I'm happy to see the article evolve from there. -- 209.6.238.201 (talk) 06:22, 8 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh. and sorry for calling you a wiseguy. Although, you are obviously wise, and, I presume, a guy, please don't take it the wrong way. ;) -- 209.6.238.201 (talk) 06:35, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

Favor
Let's try something different. I'm not a big fan of admin-coaching. However, WP could use your help. I notice that you have article writing skills, but how about something different? WP:AFD is something that I think needs help. Let's try it. Law type! snype? 09:07, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Help!
You seem adept at many facets of WP. If you can do me a favor. Offer some advice at WP:UAA and WP:ANI. I know they are both 'administrative' things, but I've seen you around and given your edits, you can cut through the bullshit. You can write, and you can act. Please offer insight at both places. It's not just an admin thing. I'm not sure if you want to go thru the RFA machine. That said, a 3rd eye would be great. Please hit me up on my talk page with any questions. DO NOT HESITATE TO ACT. WP:BOLD and WP:IAR should guide your way. Best of luck and sorry to throw you to the demons, but admins coaching is not going to prepare you (should you want this thankless job) like diving in. Just know - you cannot break anything; only help. I've never taken on a prodigy, and you didn't ask, but guess what? You got it. Law type! snype? 09:15, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, sweet... Thanks for the advice, I just feel that if people go to WP:ANI they are looking for administrative advice/action... I will stick with WP:UAA though.  SparksBoy (talk) 09:23, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Sparks, I must say that I admire the candor. I suggested ANI as one that you will inevitably face, but the fact that you abstained means that my respect is always growing towards you. I did figure that you could add to some NPOV input, but at the same time, during my RFA, I had never had any contact there, and I think that if someone goes to ANI, they are probably looking for advice from an admin. Your honestly is refreshing. To be truthful, I've had a few episodes there, but would not have touched them until I was an admin. I get it. I apologize, and that was a shitty thing to ask you to do, given the fact that I have avoided it as much as I could. It's sort of called ANI because they are looking for the A to take care of the I.
