Articles for deletion/Website content writer
Please could you remember to remove the AfD tag from the article when closing an AfD?— S Marshall  Talk / Cont  21:34, 1 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for catching my bobble. To be honest, I didn't even return to the article to see if the tag had been removed, I simply relied on Z-man's ubiquitous closing script. I'll try to do better. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  21:45, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Most of the views on that pages were added before I put a whole bunch of links to a variety of different newspapers and the like. I'm not convinced that a consensus was reached at all.

But, if you must, put it in user space. It's only an article or two away from sufficient notoriety. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vincent Pace (talk • contribs) 01:15, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll restore it to User:Vincent Pace/sandbox/Steve Kaufmann. I saw that you were one of the last people to comment, but since there were still four days after that for responses, I decided that consensus had been reached.

Redirect
Sir;

Since the Doctor Steel wikipedia entry has been approved, would you please do me the kind favor of removing the lock currently on the Dr. Steel page, and replacing whatever is currently there with:


 * 1) REDIRECT Doctor Steel

Thank you. --Jonnybgoode44 (talk) 17:15, 10 September 2009 (UTC)
 * A perfectly reasonable request. Consider it done. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  18:07, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

Thank you
Thank you, for this appropriate DRV close. Cirt (talk) 21:30, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * You're quite welcome. It was clear from the discussion that your close was strongly supported. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  10:56, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

i added citations. what i posted was true. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.143.62.134 (talk) 20:41, 15 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I did see the citations, however, this kind of negative information would need top flight sources, not just the guy popping off on his own blog. Furthermore, these kind of scandal-sheet details really aren't relevant to a biography, which in theory is what the article is supposed to be. However, since it appears you didn't mean the edit as vandalism, I apologize for the warning, and will remove it from your ip's talk page. Please look at this link if you would like to add any more information. Take care, Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  23:25, 15 September 2009 (UTC)

Blocked IP
Thanks for blocking IP 70.15.31.175 again. I had asked about a longer block last month after the person had jumped IPs and had come back to again revert to messy, vandalized pages and was told we should probably ask for protection on the relevant pages, but there were just too many involved pages and quite honestly, that stops the genuine IP editors from being able to edit. You might want to watch the talk page for the IP because if past history holds true, she (I think it's a she) will start posting personal attacks, legal threats ("my neighbor is a cop and he'll take down your website") and random rants. The block expired this afternoon and apparently as soon as the person discovered she could edit, she posted an attack on the IP talk page and went straight for the Jessica Biel, Masiela Lusha and 7th Heaven pages. In any case, thanks for the quick response. Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:01, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Or has already rendered her opinion on the block . Wildhartlivie (talk) 03:04, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No prob. I'll keep an eye out. Take care. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  03:25, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

do your toes hurt?
Sorry for stepping on toes :-) Yeah, I saw the extension you put on the article, and that's totally fine. It's all good. tedder (talk) 16:57, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually wasn't trying to put on an extension; like with the Rihanna page we both were acting at more or less the same time. Interesting to see how reasonable minds (assuming I count as reasonable ;) ) differ. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  18:01, 21 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I realize it wasn't an extension. Doh. Anyhow, yeah, there is definitely some mileage that can be varied among semi-reasonable editors :-) It is weird to get those sort of "admin non-conflicts". tedder (talk) 19:48, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

FYI, I nominated the above redirect as intentionally offensive over at RfD, it's listed at Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 September 22. Big Bird (talk • contribs) 19:04, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Just as well. I was trying to politely coax the editors into getting there, but the direct approach works too. Thanks. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  21:56, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Go ahead and delete that redirect. Although hilarious, it simply takes up much needed space on Wikipedia's servers. FitzColinGerald (talk) 23:41, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Well you know, humor is a relative thing. I can see it, and Schilling certainly can take care of himself, but this sort a thing probably is best left to the fan forums. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  15:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

a more peaceful AfD?
I saw on the Anobody RfC you seem to be in favour of a broad discussion about addressing the hostility at AfD. It might be challenging to achieve concensus for a substational change there, but maybe we could get a little essay promoted that emphasises the importance of good manners and of cooperating in harmony with those holding opposing views. Please edit the draft essay as much as you like if you think the idea has legs:  AfD is not a war zone - FeydHuxtable (talk) 17:14, 24 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I took a look, and I'm going to think things over for a bit. Xymmax So let it be written   So let it be done  00:18, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
