705th SMW page
Thanks for the heads up, but I'm not sure its a conflict of interest - I made the 705th SMW page at http://www.zianet.com/jpage/airforce years ago; someone tried busting me on a Copyright Violation for similar information that I collected and posted on the Internet then transferred to Wikipedia. The link to my page from the wiki and the comments provide within are just to show that I am the author of the original text material and have posted it to Wikipedia (not someone else just cutting and pasting). If I'm completely off base here, please let me know. TDRSS

I am up but business is brisk
I am having problems keeping up with just my watchlist of WP:CAL articles that are getting hit. Plus I want to ask for semi-protection on Nicolaus Copernicus because of all the unreliable edits but don't have time because I have to leave for a meeting in 30 minutes.

705th SMW Page Part II
I'm trying to preserve the historical content of the unit, not self-advertise. I've noticed that most searches under the popular engines come up with *nothing* or mirrors of wiki-information or webpages that were *directly* lifted from mine. Since I'm phasing out my website, I'm transferring the information to wikipedia for longevity's sake. I'm not trying to step on toes here, but I don't know how to put quality info on Wikipedia without referencing my source (i.e. my website). Most of the pages I've seen with *no* references are trashed, stubs, or completely garbage.TDRSS

Being bold
Actually, you should probably ask an admin which, you know, I'm not because, ahem, opposed that nomination on the grounds that they did not trust me in closing XfDs! (That's meant as a joke, I really have no hard feelings) In any case, it would be best for you to just let the AfD run out its due course. As the sole editor of the article (all others are minor fixes) you always have the option of requesting speedy deletion but of course that would likely cause confusion more than anything. Pascal.Tesson 02:21, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Space warfare in fiction
As someone else has pointed out, the sources need have to explicitly discuss the topic of space warfare in fiction, and the article has to be more or less be about what those sources have to say. The sources cannot be sprinkled in there to support what the Wikipedia article author has to say. That's the essential problem with OR in this article. From WP:OR "Editors often make the mistake of thinking that if A is published by a reliable source, and B is published by a reliable source, then A and B can be joined together in an article in order to advance position C." Do you see what is meant here by Original Research here? An encyclopedic article has to document some notable bit of knowledge, and that knowledge has to exist prior to the article being written, otherwise it's just a collection of facts, and that's not what an encyclopedia is for. Best Regards, Pete.Hurd 04:43, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Salt?! No, that really doesn't seem called for... Pete.Hurd 05:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * There doesn't seem to be anything like a "merge" consensus building in the AfD. Cross the bridge of what to do if this material gets pasted back into the pre-fork article when we get there. Pete.Hurd 05:20, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * The problem of the material being OR applies wherever it is. If it's unencylopedic OR, then it must not stay. Pete.Hurd 05:25, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Being bold won't swing so far as closing an AfD early and ignoring the apparent consensus. The AfD will be closed by an Admin, and I expect that Admin will also be the go-to person if the material is recreated in the same form.  Yeah, if it's recreated as non OR, then that's obviously for the best.  But as explained above, this needs more than a couple of citations, it will need a rewrite from scratch once such a source has been found, read, digested etc. Pete.Hurd 06:07, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

AfD
I suggest you propose the idea at the AfD. Wait and see if people will change their mind, and accept your offer to cleanup and merge back into Science Fiction, or if you can re-write the article to meet WP:V, WP:RS, etc.  Nish kid 64  15:34, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Deletion and deletionists and some thoughts
Hello Sharkface. I think you first have to assume that everybody involved around AfD and other Wikiplaces believes that they are working for the good of the project. Of course there's enough vagueness in the whole concept of Wikipedia that it's just normal to find that people are sometimes pulling in different directions. Sometimes (actually oftentimes) you get the feeling that the community's decision is mistaken but overall anyone has to admit that the whole thing is fairly successful.

A while back, I spent quite a bit of energy arguing for the deletion of Category:Terrorists. As it turns out, the category was kept and I still believe this to be a mistake (look at the debate if you want to know why, but that's not really relevant here) and it left me with the sad feeling that too many editors were not taking enough time to think things through. But I accept the consensus not because I believe that it always ends up being the best choice for the encyclopedia but because it allows the project as a whole to run smoothly. The only thing I can do when I find I'm in disagreement with the majority is to make my point as clearly as I can and hope that this will sway opinion. If it doesn't happen, well so be it, I move on and continue to do my bit to help

A similar situation arose around the time I was up for RfA: I argued for keeping List of hookers with hearts of gold and as you may remember this had people screaming bloody murder and frankly people that argued that I was bringing up ILIKEIT arguments were either acting in bad faith or had not read that debate. This is how Wikipedia works: you make your point, you respect others' opinions and when all is said and done you go with the flow, even when you feel the decision is ill-advised.

Deletionists, like me, tend to view deletion as something less than catastrophic and are worried that articles on extremely fringe topics, almanach-like trivia, vanity or fan-boyish biographies, etc, end up costing Wikipedia a considerable amount of editing time and are skewing its reputation. Consequently, they end up voting for deletion in a lot of AfD debates. Save for the occasional wacko, they don't do so out of lazyness: they believe that some articles are not worth saving. I take it you disagree with that position and that's fine with me. Just remember that people on the other side of the fence also believe they're defending Wikipedia's best interests. When you feel that deletion of a specific article is particularly problematic, take the time to argue your point, take the time to expand the article and demonstrate its worth, take the time, if need be, to ask deletion supporters to expand their arguments. If that does not work, then just accept that you disagree with the majority and work on something else. Surely, you won't lose much sleep if Mongolian Barbecue Great Place to Party is deleted but even in cases that you feel more strongly about, don't be bitter when you see the decision not going your way.

Well, ok that was a bit of a longish reply, sorry... Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 04:27, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey man, sorry you got blasted by Elaragirl on that virtual classroom page. While I agree with some of her points, I'm not exactly sure why she got so ticked with your comments. (Maybe it reads differently when not viewed as a conversation between editors) In any case, I'm glad if you found some value to my advice. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 22:30, 23 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Because it's on-topic with the current lesson, I've reposted the above discussion thread to User:The Transhumanist/Virtual classroom/Elaragirl, about deletion and deletionism, where others may notice it and contribute. Please feel free to continue the discussion there if you'd like.  --The Transhumanist 06:13, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Deletion / Censorship discussion
I have seen you around here on Wikipedia and have noted that you are among the more intelligent of Wikipedians (your work with virtual classroooms is outstanding). I've had this issue bugging me for a while but I wasn't sure who I could talk to about it. After reading your profile, I think you might know how to deal with this issue.

Recently, it seems that many high-quality articles are up for deletion quite often. Yes, there are the dozens upon dozens that are blatant advertising or spam, but now a large number a day seem to be up for deletion. I'm not sure what I (or anyone) can do about this.

RE: Space warfare in fiction
Excellent work - thanks for saving the article (I was thinking of doing that myself but didn't get around to it). In terms of sourcing, that should be easy - just go through the articles on prominent sci-fi series such as Star Trek (which has hundreds of spin-off articles) and find some relevant episode names, films etc., in which examples of space warfare occurred. I will be happy to help you with this. Once again, thanks for saving this excellent article. Walton monarchist89 12:58, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've now reorganised the page, added loads more info and tons of sources - even the most ardent deletionist couldn't say it isn't sourced now. If it's OK with you I will consult a couple of those users who voted Delete on the AfD, before putting it back into the encyclopedia - I want to make sure they'll accept it, as I don't want it to get deleted again. Walton monarchist89 20:58, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I see that the article has been re-created. The new version is well-sourced but lacks detail - it might be a good idea to merge in some of the better parts from our version (especially the pictures). Walton monarchist89 14:24, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sharkface. If your offer for co-nomination of my next attempt at RfA still stands, I am planning on next running in late March/early April. I believe that at that point I have a much more improved standing within Wikipedia and fully got up to scratch with all policy relevant to both what I do now as well as adminship. I'm planning on taking a few weeks out until March beginning in a few days as a bit of a break. I'll add a notice to my userpage when I do. Hope you're well. Wikiwoohoo 18:23, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Cinema work up for deletion
Unbelievably a certain user has now put all of the cinema templates up for deletion which I have worked very hard on to improve articles. I believe they serve a great purpose for establishing a better understanding and connection between articles of each industry to make them flow. But in totla haste he has gone ahead and proposed the lot. If my hard work is deleted I really feel that I should leave wikipedia for good and feel my 35,000 edits are not really respected. I am willing to limit the use of the American template but not the others. It will affect thousands of articles already. Many users have expressed that they think the tmeplates are very useful from all over ad have even neen awarded a barnstar for my work. But just like that the plan is to wipe out all of my efforts in this field. For example see the bottom of Las Aguas Bajan Turbias or Allegro non troppo.

My farewell week
Hello, hope you are well.

I have decided to leave Wikipedia and will spend this week saying my goodbyes as well as tying up any loose ends. I know that you had been willing to co-nominate me for adminship and I am very grateful for your confidence in me. I've decided though that now is the time to leave, and try new things, try more old things a bit more often and otherwise leave the editing of Wikipedia to the many capable editors, like yourself.

Good luck with whatever you go on to do, and keep up the good work here!

Hey
Hey there, Sharkface217. What exactly do you mean? What template is broken? I was just looking at my userpage, and the templates all seem to be working fine. And yes, contrary to common belief, I have quite an enjoyable life =D. Nishkid64 (talk) 23:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It works for me, and I don't see anyone making any changes to the template, so I can't really see where the problem is. It's pretty strange, though. Try purging your cache? That sometimes fixes mistakes on the page. Nishkid64 (talk) 23:19, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Albina Digaeva
Hello. Just wondering why you thought to add a Notability tag on my person, since she is a co-founder of a human rights NGO. Thanks, Samian.

I'll get in touch with an administrator tomorrow and ask him about the Notability guidelines and whether this would fit the criteria, so all should be well )) Thanks, though. ==Samian 19:43, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not too sure about this one. The article does assert notability, and there appears to be reliable sources to back up the article's information. If you feel the article should be deleted, you can send it to WP:AFD. Nishkid64 (talk) 16:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again )) --Samian

Bevin Alexander
A template has been added to the article Bevin Alexander, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice explains why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. 172.145.161.8 15:43, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Based on the way it was written, you didn't indicate notability. If you want to contest the prod, you can.  I have no issue with it, as long as you write a few sentences indicating why he is notable and then in the edit summary say you intend to expand the article.  However, I have bookmarked the article and if in a reasonable amount of time it isn't improved, even in the slightest, to show why he is notable, then I will ask that it be deleted.  172.145.161.8 16:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * PS no reason to delete the type of stub and uncategorised tags.

Notability of Naked Ape (band)
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Naked Ape (band), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Naked Ape (band) seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Naked Ape (band), please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
