Wikking
If you must create an inappropriate article such as Wikking, you could at least learn how to create wikilinks! -- RHaworth 22:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Wikking
I have added a "" template to the article Wikking, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. ~Matticus TC 10:30, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Please read What Wikipedia is not, especially "Wikipedia is not a dictionary". See also WP:ASR. Perhaps we could not fit a speedy criterion to it, but I would certainly invoke WP:SNOW. Take it to WP:DRV if you insist, but you won't get much joy. You also ignored my advice above about wikilinks. -- RHaworth 10:47, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I think that since you are taking the job of JUDGING and DELETING other people's work so seriously, perhaps you might be able to lend me 5 min.

Since you just wasted a good 45 min. of my precious and scarced free time by hitting DELETE and writing me no more and no less than "If you must create an inappropriate article such as Wikking, you could at least learn how to create wikilinks!" (and "wikilinks" *1* is the keyword which is so well explained there, isn't it, mate?), maybe you might be able to enlight me about the difference between:

"the (usually obsessive) edits" of yours and my case of three-minutes-after-publishing-erase. *2*

Are you doing so with all newcommers to the Wikipedia? I think not. Otherwise it wouldn't exists for so long (six years!!!). *3*

Of course, I am taking in account your more than 500 DELETEs (oops, I meant EDITs) and your age that makes me rethink if your MsDos personality is actually able to correspond adequately to such a modern matter.

Sir, I must admit you one more thing: Whatsoever action you are undertaking you are faster than the execution of a fastfood order.

And the rub is that I mistrust your capability of making objective decision what is appopriate and what's not in such a short period of time only by yourself. This so fast reaction of one man sounds too subjective to me. *4*

Now what's next oh mighty? I should stop breathing, bacause that's inappropriate for you?!?!

After all let the other users say something about it. *5* And PLEASE don't give me that technical crap!!!

I might be new to writing articles in Wikipedia, but I am long enough on the INTERNET to know what policy of tollerance towards new users is in the NETETIQETTE *6*

And still I would like to appolagize for this out-of-the-modest-language form of expressing myself and let us beleive that we were both driven passionately for the good of the wikipedia sociaty. And my vanity and your Ego have misfortunatelly acquianted for the first and last time!

Leaving you not so sincerelly, but with respect

P.S. And yet, alas, I still don't know what is wikilinks, really ;-)

 * *1* Where did you learn how to create external links? It may be the same place that wikilinks are explained: Help:Link.
 * *2* Your edits are what Wikipedia is not. Mine are what Wikipedia is.
 * *3* I would reverse that: it is thanks to the tireless work of Wikipedia editors (and I claim no special credit for myself), in getting rid of inappropriate material that Wikipedia has the rank that it has today. (Actually it's more than 15000 deletes that I have done.)
 * *4* Please read this exchange. As you can see from the logs above, Bobo192 and Matticus78 agree with me.
 * *5* As I said, ask the others at deletion review.
 * *6* Do you know, I think I agree with you: Wikipedia probably is less tolerant than other places on the web - if the Wikipedia Cabal don't like you, you will have an hard time.
