The Wub
Hello there, this is just a random, completely off-any-topic question! I was wondering if you adopted your username as a tribute to a short sci-fi story called "Beyond Lies The Wub"? Regards, ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 10:54, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yep. Although I hadn't actually read the story until a while after taking the name, just saw a sci-fi-mad friend reading it and figured it was an amusing, short and memorable pseudonym. I did read it eventually though, and really enjoyed it. (We have an article on it if you didn't know - Beyond Lies the Wub) the wub "?!"  11:39, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I wasn't aware we had an article (or that it was written by Philip K Dick, for that matter!) I hadn't thought of that story in years until I saw your username. I had it in a rather tatty collection of scifi stories when I was a youngster. Good choice of name I say! ŞůṜīΣĻ ¹98¹ Speak 11:46, 13 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! :) the wub "?!"  12:05, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Deletion sorting/Ice hockey
Just wondered if you could see why the bot seems to be skipping the archiving of the Golden Amur afd. It's probably cause of how I closed it, but if you could take a look that would be great. -Djsasso (talk) 21:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * It only works if the closure templates are substituted. I've tweaked the bot code so it should fix this though (it previously did for the redirect at since that's what I was used to, but not afd top). the wub "?!"  22:27, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahhh yes I forgot to subst it. -Djsasso (talk) 22:28, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

category:critics of Islam
I listed the category:critics of Islam that you deleted in Deletion review. I cannot think of a good reason to delete it, except that it is not clear whom to include and who not, but clearly this is the most appropriate category for people like Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Geert Wilders who became famous mainly because of their criticism of Islam. If you know a better category for them then please let me know. I cannot think of one. Andries (talk) 14:20, 27 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Replied at deletion review. the wub "?!"  15:08, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

WikiProject Deletion sorting/Film
At WikiProject Deletion sorting/Film, the discussion has been closed since May 2007. There was a second nomination of this article, and comments were made about this second nomination on the first nomination, which may have affected its chance of being archived.  Are you able to address this manually? — Erik  (talk • contrib) - 16:25, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh lord, that's been there since September?! Thanks for letting me know, I just removed it manually. It looks like the first nomination got listed instead of the second. The wubbot failed to remove it because the class used to indicate a closed debate has been changed since then. the wub "?!"  17:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Please add WikiProject Deletion sorting/Businesspeople to pages monitored by bot
Could you please add WikiProject Deletion sorting/Businesspeople to the pages monitored by your bot? I noticed a number of closed AfD discussions there. Thanks. --Eastmain (talk) 15:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Done. the wub "?!"  20:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

deletion sorting
You and your bot have been doing deletion sorting in WikiProject Deletion sorting/Popular culture by moving the material to a separate archive page. But there is a preexisting archive at the bottom of the page, which seems also to be maintained-- and which shows more clearly the trend of keeps and deletes. Having both is not sensible--how do you think we should handle this? Is the use of the bot and separate page standard on all the other deletion sorting pages? DGG (talk) 17:20, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, the subpage is standard on almost all the other deletion sorting pages within WikiProject Deletion sorting. There are some exceptions with their own archive methods e.g. WikiProject Deletion sorting/Anime and manga. However when I get some time (hopefully soon) I'm planning to rewrite the archiving to have better formatted pages, and when I do that I'll merge the two archives for Popular culture, so it can probably stay as it is for now. the wub  "?!"  12:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

Film archiving
At WikiProject Deletion sorting/Film, there's a couple of closed discussions that weren't successfully archived in the last run. — Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:35, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out, looks like it was an issue affecting some other pages too. the wub "?!"  14:28, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Anything that can be avoided in the future by editing the AFD pages in a specific manner? — Erik (talk • contrib) - 22:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Just make sure to subst the templates when closing. The bot should do it automatically now (well, it should have before, but was missing some redirected ones). the wub "?!"  23:15, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
