Template:Adminstats
Hey X!, are you involved in maintaining Template:Adminstats? I designed a way that it can be displayed as a bar graph, and left a note about it here trying to gauge whether or not it would be worth adding that functionality to the template. If you are involved with it, I would appreciate your input. Thanks, r ʨ anaɢ talk/contribs 06:54, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Spotlight relaunch
Some users have decided to try and relaunch the spotlight project, and I am informing all users that were on the previous list of participants.

We thought that, rather than discuss it, it would be more effective to simply start, and try to make it work again. Therefore, we are currently working on an article.

Anyone is welcome to get involved, so please come to the #wikipedia-spotlight channel on the freenode IRC network (see the IRC tutorial for help with IRC). You can get instant access using freenode webchat.

AfD closure
Hi. Regarding your closure of Articles for deletion/Mexicans in Italy‎, you seem to have missed one of the articles nominated there (there are two and you only deleted one). Cordless Larry (talk) 07:54, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Why doesn't SoxBot tally neutral votes on RfA?
Just wondering, but since we actually have a section for neutral votes and SoxBot counts all votes cast, why aren't the neutral tallied in the total when the percentage is calculated, but only support and opposes? Or, to formulate it differently, why does it bother to count neutral votes if these aren't also taken into account for the grand total of votes cast on a candidate? Thanks MLauba (talk) 20:49, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Mostly because Neutral is exactly what it says: the editor doesn't want to either support or oppose. As a result, it would be unfair for the candidate to count it in the oppose section, and unfair to the oppose section to count it in the supports. ( X! ·  talk )  · @025  · 23:36, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Rachel Jacobs
Hi, you closed out the AfD for Rachel Jacobs but neglected to delete Parker Jacobs, which was added to be included and which a majority of voters (including myself, the nominator) indicated should also be deleted. Thanks. Rms125a@hotmail.com (talk) 14:31, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I would not delete this article yet, for a few reasons. One, the Process for nominating an additional article was not followed. No AfD template was added to the page, and it was not initially obvious on the RfA page that Parker Jacobs was being nominated too. Two, I only see 2 out of 4 comments that actually mentioned Parker Jacobs, so it'd be inappropriate to delete it. One of the other two comments only talked about the article in the "she" form, indicating that they only saw the Rachel Jacobs article. The best thing to do here would be to either take it to WP:PROD, of if that doesn't work, to WP:AFD. ( X! ·  talk )  · @031  · 23:45, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Trioculus AfD
Are you sure you read that right? As I saw it, there were two keeps (both of whom are currently the subject of a sockpuppetry investigation), while the remaining folk were either of the delete and redirect, or simply redirect. Are you seeing it differently than I? - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  22:44, 9 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Arcayne beat me to it. DGG and I rarely agree on anything; that we both at least agree an article doesn't warrant standing alone is like the Earth shaking :-]. Furthermore, as Arcayne pointed out, the "two" keeps are essentially one from an almost-certain sock (three accounts and going). I believe, at a minimum, a redirect is appropriate. Please reconsider your decision. --EEMIV (talk) 01:33, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've listed it for AfD again, as excluding the obvious socks, it would have most likely have been relisted. This was my mistake, I has failed to recognize that the keeps were possible socks. ( X! ·  talk )  · @111  · 01:39, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review for Computer tan hoax
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Computer tan hoax. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. SPNic (talk) 14:01, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Computer tan hoax
Hi. Would you mind explaining the decision you came to on the above discussion, and perhaps revisit and reconsider the closure? It seems to me that those parties (myself included) in the discussion established that the article did not fall under "announcements, sports, and tabloid journalism" or WP:NOTNEWS, which were the very crux of the nom's argument; the other argument raised was also shown to be untrue with extensive coverage over a prolonged period, in sources I presented in the discussion. It was also a well sourced article with no NPOV or WP:V issues. It looks as though either a No Consensus or Keep close would have been more suited. I appreciate you taking the time, – Toon 15:50, 10 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought I hit the "keep" button... I !voted a speedy overturn in the DRV. Please feel free to trout me. ( X! ·  talk )  · @955  · 21:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Lol! Shit happens, I suppose. I've restored the article since you didn't mean to close as delete, but you might want to fix up the AfD itself to reflect the decision you meant to make (as it was never an actual "delete" consensus). – Toon 01:49, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Indeed, no harm done! I've speedy-closed the DRV as overturn, and put a note in the AfD debate. If nothing else, at least you've done a good job of demonstrating why people should always bring their concerns to the closing admin before starting DRV drama. :) ~ mazca  talk 09:55, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Humanball
Sorry, what? That's a poor close. Please reconsider. Supporting the article, we have two SPAs asserting the the game is played by a lot of people (a standard "argument to avoid") and not citing a single source, and the author saying there were reliable sources, they just decided not to cite them, and then not providing them when asked. Supporting deletion, we have five long-term contributors and an IP, citing the lack of reliable sources, the fact Wikipedia is not for things made up one day, notability and so on- some of them have even done a little research and found no sources at all. Have you even looked at the article? I don't often close AfDs myself but... come on. That's just bizarre. J Milburn (talk) 20:10, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * God damnit... the sockpuppet tag always eludes my eyes.  I've overturned it as a "delete", and I'll be sure to read the arguments more closely this time. ( X!  ·  talk )  · @887  · 20:16, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't say it would generally matter if people were SPAs, if their arguments were sound. It should always come down to whether the page meets our policy requirements. In any case, thanks for reconsidering the close. J Milburn (talk) 20:25, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

It got plenty of traffic, ( do a search on Google.com, she still has one of the most popular names in the Asian modeling community. )

She is a Icon in Asian modeling scene and Queen of the Import car scene, With the longest running and active website of it's type with over 10 years of updates!

I will maintain the page, if allowed, It was not updated in a Very long time, due to I was told I was not a relyable source of Info for her ( kind of strange ). —Preceding unsigned comment added by MorphiousDG (talk • contribs) 13:33, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
 * It was deleted per consensus at Articles for deletion/Francine Dee. It was determined that she was not yet notable enough to be on Wikipedia. See WP:N for info on notability. ( X! ·  talk )  · @958  · 21:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes I read that. But Did you not read my rebuttals to that above? What about models like Luana Lani ( not even a pic ), Christine Mendoza, Masuimi Max, all with  1/100th the amount of work and popularity of Francine? All of these and MANY other models are in this industry because of the work of Francine......

So I would Really like to get this page back up, or you might as well go and delete all the other models out there as well! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.8.146.249 (talk) 01:18, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Here are the results from Google - Results 1 - 10 of about 787,000 for "Francine Dee". Is this enough pages to be worthy of Wikipedia? ( compare this to some of the other names as well as some of the other people in here.... ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.8.146.249 (talk) 13:32, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello? —Preceding unsigned comment added by MorphiousDG (talk • contribs) 23:36, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Cannot believe that Wiki staff is ignoring this! This women deserves to be on here more then any other of the models listed here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.234.100.77 (talk) 23:40, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

WikiCup participates in the The Great Wikipedia Dramaout
Hello all, iMatthew here. I just wanted to let you know about "The Great Wikipedia Dramaout" which starts this Saturday. The goal of the Dramaout is to spend five days working on improving articles and abstaining from any of Wikipedia's drama. I don't think that any of you will have a problem focusing on articles for five days, because of course, any work you get done during the Dramaout will count towards your score in the WikiCup. Details are on the page; hope to see you all signing up! :)  iMatthew  talk   at 00:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grapefruit—Juicy Fruit
I would appreciate if you reconsidered your decision on this discussion. While there were editors arguing to keep this article, their arguments were not based on established guidelines. This article does not meet WP:NSONGS. Claims of notability such as chart position could not be proven with 3rd party reliable sources and claims of notability around covers also dont hold water as examples of artists covering this song lack wikipedia articles making notability difficult to show here.--RadioFan (talk) 20:18, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Note that I keeped it as "no consensus". That does not mean that the keep arguments outwigh the deletes, nor the other way around. It means that there was no strong consensus to either keep or delete the article. I didn't close the article because I thought that it was notable, I closed it because there wasn't any consensus. ( X! ·  talk )  · @893  · 20:25, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * What is your opinion on notability here? It has been redirected to the article on the article based on the lack of notability per WP:SONGS by 2 editors and the creator reverts it each time.--RadioFan (talk) 23:56, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I think you misunderstand. I have no opinion on whether or not the article is notable. I closed it as "no consensus", not "keep". I did not delete it, because "no consensus" defaults to keep. That's the way of AfD. ( X! ·  talk )  · @049  · 00:10, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway, notability has been established as someone finally found a reliable source.--RadioFan (talk) 00:16, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for setting up Special:AbuseFilter/211 per the requests page :-).

Your close of Articles for deletion/Orion 17
I see a clear consensus to not keep the article in its present form, with people divided whether a redirect should exist. Could you re-examine your close? Thank you, Kusma (talk) 04:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been looking over this AfD again and again, and have also discussed this privately with other administrators. All of us agree that either a no consensus closure or a redirect would have been appropriate. Because of this, I've decided to leave the AfD alone, but I would not object to you redirecting the article. ( X! ·  talk )  · @830  · 18:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Er, you didn't leave the AfD alone, you closed it. I don't really care about the article, but was hoping for a closure that gives some guidance about what to do with all the other related articles. From the way the debate went over time, there seemed to be less and less support for keeping. In particular, there was an obvious consensus to delete or redirect among the participants after the relist (when the true debate took place). I haven't closed AFDs in a while, but I really don't understand how you can arrive at a "no consensus" in this one. Kusma (talk) 06:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Open proxies volunteer
I'd like to volunteer at investigating open proxies, because I'm currently active on Wikipedia:Abuse reports. I believe these two projects are closely related, and I can help in both. I'm experienced with nmap, DNS blacklists, WHOIS, and other tools that are used to determine if an IP is an open proxy. Thanks. Netalarm 06:48, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Orion 17

Thank you for making WP:NODRAMA a success!
Thank you again for your support of the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Preliminary statistics indicate that 129 new articles were created, 203 other articles were improved, and 183 images were uploaded. Additionally, 41 articles were nominated for DYK, of which at least 2 have already been promoted. There are currently also 8 articles up for GA status and 3 up for FA/FL status. Though the campaign is technically over, please continue to update the log page at WP:NODRAMA/L with any articles which you worked during the campaign, and also to note any that receive commendation, such as DYK, GA or FA status. You may find the following links helpful in nominating your work:


 * T:TDYK for Did You Know nominations
 * WP:GAC for Good Article nominations
 * WP:FAC for Featured Article nominations
 * WP:FLC for Featured List nominations
 * WP:FPC for Featured Picture nominations

Again, thank you for making this event a success! --Jayron32. talk . say no to drama 02:44, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Alex Polizzi
My apologies for my first bungled attempt at contacting you.

I refer to a recenly edited line under Alex Polizzi which reads as follows:

Polizzi is married to Marcus Miller and has a daughter from a previous marriage.

I am a little confused as she only married in September 2007 and her daughter was born in June 2008. Either her first marriage didn't last very long but produced a child, or her daughter is not from a previous marriage.

Could you provide further explianation please?

Regards and thanks

Votecount for an RFA isn't working
It appears the rfatally for Jerem43 isn't working. Any idea why? tedder (talk) 15:26, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm going to remove the template and manually enter the final tally. Tan   &#124;   39  14:14, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * You're supposed to remove the template when the RfA is closed, you realize that? As for why it wasn't working, I'm not sure. It worked for me, did you purge the page? ( X! ·  talk )  · @890  · 20:21, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, and thanks for all the great tools. Please link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:X!/Sox_Commons on your page Soxred93's Tools. Thanks. — Jeff G. (talk&#124;contribs) 06:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Your close of Articles for deletion/Orion 17
I see a clear consensus to not keep the article in its present form, with people divided whether a redirect should exist. Could you re-examine your close? Thank you, Kusma (talk) 04:37, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've been looking over this AfD again and again, and have also discussed this privately with other administrators. All of us agree that either a no consensus closure or a redirect would have been appropriate. Because of this, I've decided to leave the AfD alone, but I would not object to you redirecting the article. ( X! ·  talk )  · @830  · 18:54, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Er, you didn't leave the AfD alone, you closed it. I don't really care about the article, but was hoping for a closure that gives some guidance about what to do with all the other related articles. From the way the debate went over time, there seemed to be less and less support for keeping. In particular, there was an obvious consensus to delete or redirect among the participants after the relist (when the true debate took place). I haven't closed AFDs in a while, but I really don't understand how you can arrive at a "no consensus" in this one. Kusma (talk) 06:25, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I meant that I wouldn't change the result of the outcome. I came at a "no consensus" because there wasn't a clear consensus to either redirect or delete. I will admit that a redirect is better, in hindsight. ( X! ·  talk )  · @897  · 20:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Orion 17
How does 1 delete, and 6 merge/redirects since it was relisted become no consensus? Surely a redirect is in order, especially once one reads the discussion? Nfitz (talk) 07:15, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Please assume good faith, as I was closing it in what I thought was the most fair way. I've since reconsidered, after talking with Kusma above. ( X! ·  talk )  · @897  · 20:32, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Requests for adminship/ThaddeusB
I wanted to take a moment to delivery a personal thank you (not "thank spam" :)) for your involvement in my RfA. It was truly an honor to be nominated by such well respected Wikipedian.  I was familiar with your activities and have looked up to you for some time, but had no idea I was on your radar.  I had been considering self-nominating for some time, but am glad I waited, as I much rather be nominated by someone like yourself than by me. :)

I will be sure to let you know if I encounter any problems that I need your help for - thank you for the offer.

Thanks again, ThaddeusB (talk) 04:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, it was a pleasure to nominate you. It's not often that an editor gets over 100 supports in his RfA, and you are now one of them. I'm absolutely ecstatic that you've taken up the new tools excellently so far, and I wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. And as Julian said, if you need any help, we're both here to help. ( X! ·  talk )  · @229  · 04:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind a little post AfD clean up
You decided the end of the Articles for deletion/List of film series with two entries AfD, but left the talk page message on the wrong talk page. The article was moved after the AfD had been started. I hope you don't mind that I moved the talk page message to the correct talk page and removed the AfD message from the article.

PS. How did you get the custom talk page edit header? LA @ 03:18, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * User talk:X!/Editnotice – Juliancolton  &#124; Talk 03:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * What Julian said. Yeah, I don't mind at all that you corrected me. I would have gladly done it, but I'm perfectly fine with you doing it. ( X!  ·  talk )  · @210  · 04:02, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Julian. And thank you X! for not minding about the clean-up. I wouldn't have known about your replies however, if I hadn't been bored and checked my contributions. There is a nice little template that you can use to let people know these things. :) LA If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @ 06:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Heehee, I don't really read signatures as much. I only just read the names. It might help if you let people know that you want a talkback message in the main body of your post, so it doesn't get lost in the "signature blindness". And besides, using the talkback isn't part of my general nature. I only use it if I see that someone specifically requests it. (see #4 of my pretty editnotice you asked about ) But no big deal, just as long as you saw it. ( X! ·  talk )  · @300  · 06:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Johnny Prill
In your closing statement you said It's obvious that the people who said delete are either sockpuppets or meatpuppets. Shouldn't that read "keep"? --Ron Ritzman (talk) 02:38, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, fixed. ( X! ·  talk )  · @153  · 02:39, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
