Ray Chi article deletion
Hi, I wrote the article on Ray Chi that you recently deleted. I did not have computer access for a few days and didn't get the message until today. I could have easily sited or referenced various items in the article and wish I would have had more time to do so. Is there any way to get the article back? I was actually going to add to it soon because he's done more work lately that would make him even more noteworthy than he already is. Shatner1 21:17, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

MFD
I've transcluded Portal:Catholicism/Popes in to Portal:Pope/Popes to prevent forking, but to allow portal consistancy if anyone ever wanted it. Do you think this is a good fix, or do you want to continue with the MFD? Thanks, — xaosflux  Talk  03:44, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

As you are already aware, Category:Psuedoreligionist Wikipedians and its subcategories, including Category:Discordian Wikipedians, Category:Flying Spaghetti Monsterist Wikipedians, Category:SubGenius Wikipedians, and others, have been deleted. That deletion is now up for review. If you have anything you'd like to say on the subject, now is the time. If you know of any other editors who might have something to say on the subject, pass the word.

Vote at CfD
Hello. I think you have used sound reasoning in saying that some of the generation categories should be deleted and some not - I agree this could be beneficial. However, I was wondering if you would alter your vote to say that the "Wikipedians in their XXs" should be kept and the "Generation XYZ" should be deleted. I say this for two reasons (A) which generation one considers him/herself is POV, and there is even conflict among sociologists about which Generation should be called what and at what ages; (2) The "Wikipedians in their XXs" is not POV and editors are added and updated automatically if they use one of several user age templates, thus requiring less maintenance. I would imagine that these have a stronger chance of surviving and actually being useful in the future. Depending on what you decide, you can change your vote here.-- Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 15:08, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Would you be able to take a little time to look at user Mind meal (talk, edits), who is incivil, makes threats and tries to intimidate editors. Others have attempted to advise the user, but perhaps you might be able to give it a try.

You wrote, "delist csd, can always be redirected somewhere else, or made in to an atrticle". Yes both are possiblities but neither seem to be happening. In the mean time I find the current redirection confusing. Deletion doesn't prevent addition when a contributer appears. Will you please reconsider? Conrad T. Pino 06:28, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Great, it can start if you unblock it. I had it indef-blocked as it didn't shut down automatically, and I didn't have access to the toolserver to force it to shut down. It should restart editing as soon as it's unblocked (within 5 minutes). Thanks! Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 00:23, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Due to the way the SQL query works, it should work more efficiently for a user that has edited sooner. Although this may cause slightly higher edit rates (the query is the bottleneck I am using for timing) it should stay within the limit and it should update happily. Also, to encourage participation/awareness, I have posted a message on WP:VP/M. Matt/TheFearow (Talk) (Contribs) (Bot) 00:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

User Talk Deletion
Hello, I've made the revision on the User talk:AlephGamma page. The rebuild excludes personal names that from my angle need to be deleted due to a recent identity theft incident. As a paranoid precaution, I would like the page deleted and then reposted with the original content, that is... everything under the  ==New==  header. I can do this myself. AlephGamma 16:38, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Signpost and BJAODN
You're listed as an involved party in the BJAODN case. The Wikipedia Signpost will be covering the events in this week's issue. Alkivar asked that I talk to him to avoid misconstruing his words, so in the interest of fairness I'm offering you the opportunity to do so as well.

I'd be happy to talk to any/all of you regarding the case, but I don't have any questions to ask at this point, and won't be able to write anything until Monday morning UTC, at the earliest. If you have any general statements you'd like to make to me, to clear up any misconceptions, or clarify your opinion, please feel free to e-mail me. Also, if you have any quotes in particular that you think best qualify your point, either published on-wiki, or sent to me via e-mail, I'd appreciate them. Since the case has many important issues that need to be mentioned, I want to make sure that I don't miss anything, or misrepresent anyone's views.

(Any uninvolved parties who wish to send me an e-mail can, of course, do so as well). Ral315 » 06:27, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Your deletion of Chaim Dov Keller article
Hello Xaosflux: Could you please explain why you chose to delete the article about Rabbi Chaim Dov Keller as reported: "01:09, 6 August 2007 Xaosflux deleted "Chaim Dov Keller" (content was: 'dated prod|concern = concern|not notable under WP:BIO|month = July|day = 31|year = 2007|time = 02:52)"? Why did you prod this article about a very famous currently living rabbi? Did you consult some editors familair with this topic? Did you place a question at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Judaism or at WikiProject Deletion sorting/Judaism? Rabbi Chaim Dov Keller is probably one of the best known rabbis in Chicago at the present time. He is not a congregational rabbi, but serves as the rosh yeshiva ("dean") of the largest yeshiva in Chicago. He is mentioned in key articles relating to Haredi Judaism. A Google search for "Chaim Dov Keller" yields over 470 hits (a large number for such a person in the world of Orthodox Judaism) many connected to numerous and significant publications in the world of American Orthodox Judaism and particularly Haredi Judaism for which he is leading spokesman and scholar with Agudath Israel of America. He co-heads the Telshe yeshiva (Chicago) and he has played a major role is speaking out on the issue of the messianic claims concerning Rabbi M.M. Schneerson of Lubavitch, see Controversies of Chabad. Kindly restore the article ASAP. Thank you, IZAK 13:14, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

A clone of StatusBot would be very difficult - my code to not rely on the toolserver database doesn't work properly, and i'd need to rewrite that.

Category change
I was a little surprised to see the change to Category:United States thoroughbred racing Hall of Fame inductees without notice to the WikiProject Thoroughbred racing.

Public Radio Talent Quest (Talk page)
I just started a discussion trying to figure out why my entry was deleted and you deleted my discussion. See my user talk page about how my entry came up for deletion. Then look again at the entry that is in question, that is if you can, I can't read any discussion or anything about my entry as they are all deleted and I can't view anything.

No discussion is a complete offense and not allowing a defense to support my entry is like stealing something that was mine to begin with. I shared the information with you and the whole global community that might be interested in knowing about an item. That is what encyclopedias do isn't it?

Please restore my conversation and point out the error in my writing. If you can restore my conversation and my entry and let's talk about how it doesn't comply with the terms of the site.

I'll bet that if you go back to the beginning you'll find that it was deleted out of a prejudice and not because of content.

But of course you probably know more than anyone else. You don't have to work with people you just delete material and exclude a dialogue and diplomacy.

 * Per your request on my userpage, I've undeleted Talk:Public Radio Talent Quest and tagged it to delay for at least 5 days. The Criteria for speedy deletion recognizes that talk pages without associated articles are generally speedily deletable.  My deletion was without any bearing related to the deletion of the article (that I did not delete).  Thank you, —  xaosflux  Talk  03:32, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. A discussion on a talk page of a deleted article is generally not an effective means of having it restored. Better methods would be to contact the deleting admin directly (perhaps asking if they would consider listing on WP:AFD instead) or bringing it up at Deletion Review.

 * (from your talk), No offense meant there, was clearing out the backlog at CAT:CSD after someone else nominated this page for speedy deletion as being empty. Pages speedily deleted under that context are without any prejudice for recreation.  Unfortunately, we get tons of empty pages created by others (even well-meaning editors) that never get content added to them beyond a few words, a tag, or something like "coming soon" that deletion is just the best step.  I've gone back and restored the history if you are interested in it.  Thank you and happy editing. —  xaosflux  Talk  06:17, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Old SALT vs New SALT
This is mostly an FYI to you as an admin who still uses the old, templated method for salting pages. That method of salting pages is depricated, and the template is now up for deletion. While things can still change, the current discussion definitely looks headed towards deletion. Assuming that this happens, you will no longer be able to salt pages with the old method, and will need to begin using the newer salting method that involves cascading protection on the title, and allows recreation to be blocked while still having no article at the name, leaving it as a red link. This new method of salting is centered at WP:PT, and the instructions for how to make it work are there as well. - TexasAndroid 13:04, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
