Re: Elizabeth Macarthur
1. Newpages / Recentchanges patrol is messy business with less than 100% accuracy and some unavoidable ruffling of feathers. I apologize for any offense caused by this one of my ~1,000 deleted edits.

2. I tagged the new article for deletion because it plainly failed to assert notability, and walked away from it. I did not research the subject, because the judgment I made was purely procedural, in other words, the article was defective on its face. At some point further on, I was looking at the deletion log for an unrelated reason and noticed that Elizabeth Macarthur went blue. Realizing that someone was about to contest this deletion, I did not add db-repost to the recreated article, instead preferring to leave a discreet note for RBCF specifically to give the recreator time to establish hangon a rationale. RBCF proceeded to validate my choice by declining G4! What I showed was not "a lack of understanding of how to manage disputed speedy deletions", but extra sensitivity to CSD victims. Also consider the message I left on the original creator's talk page:.

These diffs and explanations should be enough to fully vindicate my actions. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:15, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately as there is no lag on speedy deletions, and there was none in this case, your invitation to the new user to "If she's a super notable lady, other than being married to her husband, do set that out in the article." was not necessarily sincere. Perhaps a better way to deal with it, would have been to prod or to hang off speedy deletion until the new user had had a chance to respond to your message on his/her talk page.  So maybe you were welcoming the new user, but ... just not trying hard enough to actually be welcoming - if it were me, I would have been put off by your welcome, when trying to go back and edit the non-existent article.   The article was created 14:06 (AEST), you tagged 14:16 (AEST) and it was deleted within the minute.   --A Y Arktos\talk 02:45, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree, these actions were not completely mutually consistent - but please do not impugn my sincerity. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 02:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
