Law Office of David Andersen
sorry if this is the wrong way to get in contact with you, but i'm really new to this editing thing at wikipedia. so, could you put that article back up? And if not, could you tell me why not? The thing is, a guy I'm working for wants me to put up a page for his business, (not David Andersen, another guy), and I wanted to test it out before I went ahead and did it for my boss. Again, I'm new to this all, so if I could just get some response, I'd be very appreciative. --Pmandersen 18:20, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

List of anti-heroes
I just want to inform you that the article List of anti-heroes was deleted today after being listed on VfD. I am not sure if you knew it was listed or not, or if you care or not. I felt, since you had participated as a contributor on the article that you should know. If you want to know more about the status of the now deleted article, I have made a post in Deletion review. If you don't want to know more, please disregard this message. sincerely, Kingturtle 21:42, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Goat Head Soup
Hello Turnstep! The comment I left here refers to Orlando as being one of the centers of Death Metal bands, along with Tampa. The flaming goat head allusion is from an episode of "Space Ghost, Coast to Coast" that featured Tenacious D. Space Ghost co-host, Zorac attempting to "out-rock" the D. With pitiful results, because of course, Tenacious D are the most dangerous rock machine on earth. Hope some of this may have jogged the ol' memory. See you 'round!

ArbCom Vote
Hi Turnstep,

As per your opposition vote to my ArbCom candidacy due to the lack of questions, I've elaborated on my statement and explanation at the questions page. I welcome any further questions to be asked to clarify any of your doubts, and let me know on my talkpage if it's urgent. Thank you for your interest! :)

New Orleans
Hey Turnstep, are you from New Orleans? --Shultz 08:13, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * No, just visited. Turnstep 16:41, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Did you visit the city before or after Katrina? And sorry I made that blanking-redirect of Venice to New Orleans back in September. New Orleans had more in common with Venice at that time (albeit temporarily) and I was younger on the site, thus less mature, so I decided to make the tasteless redirect of Venice to New Orleans. Looking back at it, it's like making a joke about 9/11, especially in the days after (as opposed to the years after), as that would've been very tasteless indeed. Are you also an admin by any chance? --Shultz 22:40, 12 January 2006 (UTC)


 * Not an admin, and visited pre-Katrina. I think it's not so much the testlessness of the redirect that was wrong, but the fact that a redirect effectively blanks a page of all content that people have worked on. So it would be equally wrong to redirect something more nuetral such as potato. Glad to see you recognize the error of your ways, though, and glad to see you doing good work on Wikipedia. Turnstep 01:54, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

re: AFD transclusions
Absolutely you can help clean them up. In every case I've fixed so far, the problem was not with the Log page but that the nomination was done incorrectly. The nominator was making a renomination but wasn't bothering to amend the templates when walking through the steps. The process I used was to:
 * 1) work my way back to the article being nominated
 * 2) check the history to confirm the nomination
 * 3) change the template from afd to  (which uses a parameter to add "(2nd nomination)" to the discussion page title
 * 4) follow the new link and either recreate or clean up the renomination (remembering to add a link to the prior discussion)
 * 5) correct the transclusion link in the AFD log page

Hope that works for you. Thanks for your help. Rossami (talk) 17:07, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Re: Relisting AfDs
I relisted the AfDs because there was no clear consensus, but maybe your right. I should of closed it as a no consensus. However, there are already three more votes in favor of deletion, I want to see how this AfD goes for another week. --Ichiro 04:56, 13 January 2006 (UTC)--Ichiro 15:17, 13 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I closed it as no consensus, since there isn't a clear consensus anyways. I usually relist AfDs for any discussion without consensus or discussions that has similiar number of keep votes and delete votes, since I'm very new at closing AfDs, no doubt I will make some mistakes like this. I am guess bit too "scared" (if you want to put it that way) to close the AfD with the wrong result, since sometimes if misinterpret them. I relist AfDs so I can make sure that the consensus is to either delete or to keep. Well, next time I'll close it as no consensus instead if a discussion like this pops up. Thanks. --Ichiro 15:26, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Ibat
Hi, I've updated this AfD with some info, and am notifying everyone who has participated in the discussion so far. I'm doing this because I think some users have misunderstood what Ibat is. Please read my comments at the AfD, and if you wish, update your comments. Thanks! Mind matrix  00:32, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

My RFA
Hi, thanks for participating in my RfA discussion. Unfortunately, my fellow Wikipedians have decided at this time that I am not suitable to take on this additional responsibility, as the RfA failed with a result of 66/27/5 (71.0% support). I hope that if I do choose to reapply in the future, the effort I will make in the meantime to improve and expand my contributions to Wikipedia may persuade you to reconsider your position. All the best, Proto t c 10:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

I had those in links because, unlike in most contexts in English, the specifications "Express", "Limited Express", etc. have very specific meanings when used in Japan. I won't re-wikify them though I plan to disambig/special page showing the specific definition sometime in the future, after which I will re-insert the links.  freshgavin TALK   03:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

hello
Please tell me what importance my sign up date has to do with NfD an article? Especially when most of the votes for and against are from anonymous people, and those who have recently signed up as well. I take it you are someone who does not like or welcome new users to Wikipedia? If not then why try to blacklist new users from using the same features on Wikipedia that veteran users have access to? Not trying to flame you or anything.. just trying to see your POV. 3H 17:41, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Good morning. You participated in the Deletion Review discussion of this page. The page was relisted on AFD. I noticed that you don't appear to have commented in the AFD discussion yet.

Congratulations!
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Cecropia 03:47, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Hazelwood
(My question - Turnstep)

I deleted per ''This page may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. The given reason is: It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1), contains no content whatsoever (CSD A3), consists only of links elsewhere (CSD A3) or a rephrasing of the title (CSD A3). The only content was Hazelwood Central High School is a high school in the Hazelwood School District in Missouri, USA'' plus two external links. As per the last reason given (rephrasing of the title), I deleted. Elf-friend 13:36, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

(My reply - Turnstep)

With the large backlog of articles to be speedied (you can help! ;-) ), one has to make quick decisions and everybody might not always agree with ones's decisions. The way I see it, if you question my speedy you can always put it up on "questioned speedies" or write an expanded article on the school, because an article having just one line plus a couple of external links is just a bit sad after 30 edits. Elf-friend 05:49, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Did you know? prod can have a parameter.
Hello there. You have proposed the article Dirtyback for deletion without providing a reason why in the prod template. You may be interested to know that you can add your reasoning like that:. This will make your reasoning show up in the article's deletion notice. It will also aid other users in considering your suggestion on the Proposed Deletions log.

Żydokomuna
(My question)

Please be my guest to speedy keep Żydokomuna. I have no interest in its deletion (or for that matter keeping it I suppose), I merely corrected the formatting of the original nomination to make the nomination work correctly. I have no idea whether or not the article is wothy of deletion and am in no position to make a nomination. As no one has yet proposed a reason to delete, it should be speedy kept and then renominated if someone has a problem with it and is willing to state a reason. Thanks Cool3 21:29, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

You suck
Im not a vandal. I'm American. You suck to the max.

Question for you, Turnstep: We had a page that was deleted, The Society of Asian Pwners. What criteria in Wikipedia did this not meet?

Gurunath AfD
Hi Turnstep,

I think the decision to keep was a little hasty. Firstly there were 3 votes (including NOM) to delete, and 4 votes to keep. However, the 4th keep vote was put in by a confirmed sockpuppet of another voter, and it was put in 8 days after the nomination, while the AfD was supposed to end after 5 days. Also, nobody cares about this article - nobody voted on this issue except users that were directly involved with the article or friends thereof. Keeping an article on a name like Gurunath is like keeping an article on a name like John. It doesn't make any sense. John has 2 billion hits on google - google hits don't tell you anything about significance in relation to a name. I think that it's a strange move to keep this article on wikipedia. What is the article going to say? "Gurunath is a given name in India."?? Hamsacharya dan 01:36, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Isopropyl for speedy deletion
Dear Turnstep, We don't know for sure if "the person" Isopropyl is not "patent nonsense." I don't think we should jump to conclusions so soon. TTYL -DJ to the fifth power
 * Hmm, looks like some chap tried to speedy my user page. Wonder what I did to him. Thanks for taking care of it, Turnstep :) Isopropyl 05:28, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

You know what you did Isopropyl, you made my new, legitimate article a candidate for speedy deletion. I just figured anyone that would be that ridiculous and malicious must be the embodiment of "nonsense." So I labeled your profile appropriately. I DEMAND THAT YOU REINSTATE MY LJT ARTICLE IMMEDIATELY.

You recently deleted Zealous Fuel as a nn-band. You notated that they were released on cassette only. This is innaccurate. I am holding their CD in my hand. They are even listed for sale on the Tower Records website which would indicate major label distrobution. They seem perfectly legitamate. A simple Google search produces 100+ hits. By all appearances they seem to reach some minimum critera for notability. I quite like the band, I would appreciate it if you undeleted them. Josefritz 14:19, 30 April 2006 (UTC)joseFritz

Whats wrong with the D Series
I just recently started this Wikipedia listing thing. I recently in April made an article about the cult series D. You posted that it was of no use. How do you even know about this game? It was exculsive content until it was copy and pasted to other sites, maybe instead of wasting yours and my time, try finding articles that need to be reported to the AFD, instead of bieng some giant Wikisnob.

Have a nice day....

Rodger Parsons
Please do not revert speedy deletion signs. If you want to hangon put the hangon sign on that page. Cheers!

You are retarded

Jose Fritz
I have made the suggested edits in the subpage as you instructed.

They meet two criteria for notability:

1. Under bullet #1 the first bullet point "Has had a charted hit on any national music chart, in at least one large or medium-sized country." Zealous Fuel charted at #99 in CMJ in January of 2002. CMJ has been a national radio trade magazine for almost 25 years. zealous Fuel continues to be mentioned in the CMJ reviews of other bands as a genre, scene or region reference point.

2. Under bullet #5 Has been featured in multiple non-trivial published works in reliable and reputable media (excludes things like school newspapers, personal blogs, etc...). I found two easily: www.pitchfork.com; Prog-resiste (a french prog rock mag.) which also maintains a website at www.progresiste.com

On a related not of notability: Their last CD is currently on ebay for $99.

thank you for giving me this opportunity to lobby for an undelete. 67.106.175.130 18:40, 4 May 2006 (UTC)JoseFritz

Floriberta Jiménez Torres
I think that was a rather questionable close you made. When a nomination is well-expressed (as it was in this case), it is perfectly reasonable to simply state "per nom." And as for the argument what is not notable is not established by us, that seems to be contradictory - what is the purpose of AfD if not to establish consensus grounds for notability?

Fritibrulation
Thank you for noticing my contribution to Wikipedia.

I question your seemingly arbitrary decision (within less than 1 hour) that my contribution of "Fritibrulation" is "patent nonsense". Certainly it is a very recently coined term, but it was coined by Dr. Don Campbell and presented at the Barbershop Harmony Society's annual Harmony University in the presence of an international audience consisting of chorus directors and music educators. The technique was rehearsed with a select chorus of mixed voices and was executed in a public performance in St. Joseph, MO on the evening of August 5th, 2006.

Having read your User:Turnstep page, I am surprised that you have taken such a non-inclusionist step. I had endeavored to post this term for others, including Dr. Campbell, to edit and expand. Your quick deletion has, I feel, unfairly prevented this process. I don't think you would presume to expurgate other coined terms in music education such as Audiation; I would like to know your thinking on this word.

If you have any advice on how to avoid a repeat deletion of this item, I would be appreciative.

Keep up the good work on making Wikipedia an excellent resource.

 * There is not a lot one can do. Mostly just let it run its course. If it does not gather enough comments, an admin will often relist it to generate more.
