Speedy deletion nomination of Frank O. Bastian


A tag has been placed on Frank O. Bastian requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

ClueBot
Hi,

ClueBot is not back up and running. In fact it hasn't edited in some 5 years.--5 albert square (talk) 13:11, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

Spidersmilk (talk) 23:26, 27 December 2015 (UTC)Hi albert square, Mabe i was wrong, mabe clueBot is not running now, however checking history of Prion and Biobattery reveal that Cluebot was active in 2014, one year ago. Could you please explain what is going on?


 * Ah that is User: ClueBot NG, not User: ClueBot. ClueBot is no longer operational having being replaced by ClueBot NG.--5 albert square (talk) 23:35, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

Spidersmilk (talk) 00:05, 28 December 2015 (UTC) I see albert square, so mabe that page should be deleted, unless ClueBot may become active again in the future.


 * Hi, I suppose ClueBot may be back at some point if (to quote ClueBot) "special heuristics" allow that. However, that page will need to remain for reference purposes.  Apart from anything else, I put a bright red notice at the top of the page stating that ClueBot is no longer operational, and ClueNet also removed disabled the false positive link some time ago anyway.--5 albert square (talk) 00:44, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rivière des Rochers
Hello, Spidersmilk. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Rivière des Rochers, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:


 * 1) edit the page
 * 2) remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. NeedAGoodUsername (talk) 00:35, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add original research or novel syntheses of published material to articles. Please cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. Materialscientist (talk) 21:34, 23 January 2016 (UTC)
 * Creating new categories is tricky, because filling them up often involves editing numerous (highly visible) articles. Those articles can be categorized in hundreds of ways, and we should choose only some (basic, stable, not violating WP:NPOV, etc.). Typically a category created in a rush is deleted by the community, with the concomitant removal of it from all affected articles. This annoys editors by cluttering watchlists. It is always a good idea to discuss creation of a new category in advance, at the relevant Wikiprojects. Materialscientist (talk) 02:03, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

tags to strike out parts of your comments you don't stand by anymore. Like this. It's considered very inappropriate to remove or alter any other editor's comments in almost all cases.
 * Even when things go off on a tangent, as our discussion did, it's best not to change the course of discussion at all. I've seen it before, and even the most well-intentioned changes often make it confusing for someone who hasn't been a part of the discussion to follow along. That being said, there are no hard feelings.
 * One final note: I notice that you're not indenting properly. Whenever you reply to a comment, you should indent your reply one level further than that comment, to preserve and show the flow of discussion. You can accomplish this by putting one or more colons at the beginning of each line of your reply. The number of colons you use indicates the level of indentation. When things get too far indented, you can use the outdent template to bring things back to the left, while preserving the flow. Check out this page for a demonstration of how to do proper indenting.  ᛗᛁᛟᛚᚾᛁᚱPants   Tell me all about it.  13:41, 24 January 2018 (UTC)

 * Typing this: Struck out text.

Spider's milk
This is apropos of nothing really but I just spotted your user name on another page and it made me laugh out loud, and I thought you might find this story amusing. About 15 years ago when the Internet was still wearing short trousers there was a website - Answers.com (it still exists) - that in those days anyone could edit, and it often featured at the top of Google searches. My friend and I fixed it so that anybody who googled "how heavy is a spider" was directed to a spoof page that we'd created, which stated:
 * Whilst the Appalachian forest spider can weigh as little as 0.1 milligrams when fully grown, the Alaskan wooly-back log spider weighs in at a whopping 2.5 ounces! Giving birth to only one spiderling in any given season, the wooly-back has the largest birth canal in the spider kingdom, and it's half-ounce young can suckle upto 3 grams of milk in one sitting!

The fact that it remained at the top spot on Google searches for about 3-4 years amused us immensely, and even after it was knocked off the top spot it was still the top answer when you googled "how heavy is a spider at birth" for a couple of years. Apparently the mixing of metric and imperial units wasn't enough to tip anyone off, nor was the fact that spiders don't give birth to live young. Doing a quick search just now it turns out that our contribution is still online! It's been refactored, but the only material change to the text seems to have been to replace the exclamation mark with a full stop. So funny! nagualdesign 04:13, 11 July 2018 (UTC)


 * User:nagualdesign did you check my userpage to see how I came up with that name from the goats that make spider silk in their milk?SpidersMilk, Drink Spider Milk, it tastes good. (talk) 12:46, 11 July 2018 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did. I remember when they first made those goats. Incredible stuff. nagualdesign 13:14, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
 * ...I wonder if they ever tried doing it the other way around, creating spiders that produced goat's milk instead of silk. I reckon you could produce some of the world's most expensive artisan cheeses for billionaire connoisseurs. nagualdesign</b></b> 21:35, 11 July 2018 (UTC)
