==Deletion of Lifehugger==
hi juliancolton,
Am a bit disturbed on the deletion of my first article.It is not my first article.Have done many edits in 2007-08 using a different email id which i lost.i do think the article was insignificant as you said.but how can it become significant if its deleted 10-15 minutes into its creation.You should give new articles more time before starting to determine their content.And am sure aricle on the website http://www.lifehugger.com which is easily going to be one of the best free sites in the category is as or more significant as those articles in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Medical_websites .Please be more welcoming to newcomers who reach wikipedia as everybody here now was once a newcomer!And i suggest a minimum of 24 hours before an article is deleted and 96 hours if the auhtor adds the 'hang on' tag.An article completed in lesser time can be too shallow.

i love wikipedia.Thank you for all the work in keeping Wikipedia good.Kudos!

-thank you

== Edit to Baldrick page ==

And why, in your learned opinion did my edit constitute vandalism?

That would be because the turnip in question was shaped like a penis. It was a part of the episodes plot.  The link was broken, so I fixed it. So much for assuming good faith.

== Deletion of Behind Yellow Lines ==

You recently deleted an article I created about the band Behind Yellow Lines, claiming it didn't meet the standards for inclusion. I disagree with this deletion. The article provided useful information and band history and deserves to be included in an encyclopedia. I was shocked at the lack of response on the talk page for the article and the lack of explanation for why the article was deleted. Additionally I feel that the picture that I was linked to when I clicked on your username was immature and unprofessional. I'm asking you to reinstate the article, or give me an actual explanation as to why it should be deleted. Thank you, and hopefully you will deal with this professionally and respectfully.

== Re: Deletion of Behind Yellow Lines ==

According to Wikipedia's guidelines, an article is notable if it demonstrates recognition by sources "independent of the subject." In the article, I mentioned the recognition of Behind Yellow Lines by WHSD Radio. Also, what constitutes a reliable source? The goal of my writing this article was to create a reliable source for BYL's history because there isn't really one on the internet as of now. Would including reference to an article published by the Daily Herald or the College of DuPage be considered reliable?

You seem to be deleting articles for the sake of using your power as a moderator...

== Need of your help ==

This is ridiculous, there is a move war over at [[WWE One Night Stand]], which is now located at [[WWE Extreme Rules]]. WWE has not formally announced this name; last year they used the name '''One Night Stand: Extreme Rules''' and just because they have a schedule on the right side of their [http://www.wwe.com/ website] says it will be called Extreme Rules is speculation because that was a secondary name so we can't speculate per [[WP:OR]]. So 1) can you move it back to [[WWE One Night Stand]] [needs an admin move] and 2)Can you move protect it until WWE formally announces, which if it happens, will be in June. Thanks so much.--'''''<small>[[User:Truco|<font color="navy">TRU</font>]][[User talk:Truco|<font color="black">CO</font>]]</small>''''' 21:16, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
:In addition, a consensus was formed [[WT:PW#One Night Stand|here]] to wait until official confirmation by WWE, so the move was against a formed consensus.--'''''<small>[[User:Truco|<font color="navy">TRU</font>]][[User talk:Truco|<font color="black">CO</font>]]</small>''''' 21:48, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
::Well, I respect your decision since you really aren't aware how WWE works. I mean you could make your opinion known. WWE tends to release ticket information here about their future events, which includes pay-per-view events, [http://www.wwe.com/schedules/events/ here]. In the ticket information subpages, links are given that give the all ticket information and the name of the event, such as [[WWE The Great American Bash|The Great American Bash]] [http://www.wwe.com/schedules/events/eventdetail/?id=8880658 here]. Now for the PPV in question, WWE publishes a mini-schedule to the right on their [http://wwe.com/ official website] with upcoming pay-per-view events, which states that on June 7, [[WWE Extreme Rules]] will take place, however, last year WWE used the name [[One Night Stand (2008)|One Night Stand: Extreme Rules]] to promote the event, so Extreme Rules could well be a secondary name once again. In addition, WWE has not released ticket information in the above link I presented to formally announce that change, so at the moment we can only [[WP:OR|speculate]], which should be avoided, until WWE formally announces it. If this were official, they would have changed the URL and name of the event at the One Night Stand official website [http://www.wwe.com/shows/onenightstand here]. But if this does not convince you, I understand.--'''''<small>[[User:Truco|<font color="navy">TRU</font>]][[User talk:Truco|<font color="black">CO</font>]]</small>''''' 22:03, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
:::Nevermind, it was moved by an admin who is aware of the situation from WP:PW. Thanks, however =)--'''''<small>[[User:Truco|<font color="navy">TRU</font>]][[User talk:Truco|<font color="black">CO</font>]]</small>''''' 22:40, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
I would like to point out that the WWE's website had originally listed the event as One Night Stand.  The name of the event was changed on the website.  There is also a commercial that airs during WWE programming promoting WWE pay per views that originally showed the event as One Night Stand.  The commercial has also been CHANGED to show the event as Extreme Rules.  Also, the consensus mentioned above is only applies to a few people here on wikipedia.  The general consensus of the online wrestling community as a whole (including every reliable wrestling news site) is that due to WWE's shift to PG rated programming, they have changed the name of the event to Extreme Rules since One Night Stand has sexual overtones.  Should not the listing on WWE's official website and television commercials as well as the general consensus of the online wrestling community as a whole outweigh the opinion of five or six people here on this site?  That seems to go against wikipedia's own consensus guidelines.[[User:Wwehurricane1|Wwehurricane1]] ([[User talk:Wwehurricane1|talk]]) 04:56, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

== Yaki Kadafi ==

It's inconceivable that [[Yaki_Kadafi|Yaki Kadafi]]'s biography page has been deleted. He was a founding and instrumental member of the [[Outlawz]] before his untimely death. His [[Still_I_Rise|Still I Rise]] album with the Outlawz went double platinum, and he also has released two solo albums, which counts for 3 album releases. In addition he has appeared alongside 2Pac featuring on over a half a dozen charted hits most notably [[Hit Em Up]]. I strongly request that his page be restored.

== Stop deleting my article ==

Hello, I know we like things done efficiently on Wikipedia, but do you mind not tagging my article for speedy deletion and then deleting it whilst I'm still in the middle of writing the bloody thing!!!  I'm referring to the article I started on Performers College.  You deleted it saying there was no notability established, but until you give me a chance to establish it, you're not aever going to know whether or not it's notable are you? [[User:Crazy-dancing|Crazy-dancing]] ([[User talk:Crazy-dancing|talk]]) 04:37, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I see you deleted the above per [[CSD#G11:G11]], which I do not challenge (I did not actually see it let alone edit prior to deletion). However, I would appreciate it if you could wikify it, perhaps for now in my user space?

== Arena Rock ==

Excuse me, but I was in the middle of re-writing the atrocious Arena Rock article when you messaged me.  Problems with the article: half the words are in quotes, it is lugubrious, lacks information, lacks interest.  The "History" section was stuck with the myth that punk and grunge somehow "destroyed" arena rock, when a look at sales, concert tickets, ect. throughout the past 30 years plainly show the opposite.  So Pearl Jam and Nirvana weren't arena rock bands?  Guns N Roses?  How about Ozzfest?  There was nothing about sound system tech or anything informative at all about arena-scaled rock production.  I'm punk as fuck but I also love arena shows and have been running soundboards and a roadie since I was 18.  And I can write without sounding like I'm doing a book report for sixth grade show and tell.  So where do you get off calling my edits "unconstructive" while I'm in the middle of writing it?  If you wrote the article, suck it up, you wrote a bad one.  If you're just playing "policeman", I suggest you quit until you can tell an informed user from a troll.[[User:Magmagoblin1|Magmagoblin1]] ([[User talk:Magmagoblin1|talk]]) 21:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

== Regex tasks ==

Using AWB's regex feature and regex wildcards, you should be able to search for the country name on each country outline using a single search string, even though the country name differs on every outline.

Please take a look, and see if you can accomplish that.  Perhaps [[Wikipedia:AutoWikiBrowser/Regular expression]] and [[WP:REGEX]] will be of help.

I have lots of search/replaces that include the country name.

I look forward to your reply with great anticipation.

== Request for adminship... 3? ==

Hi Juliancolton, it's now been over half a year since my [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Cyclonenim 2|previous request]] for the mop, and reviewing that RfA reveals that you were one of my opposers last time round. I was wondering if you'd like to comment on my current status in the Wikipedia community, and if you believe I would be ready to run for adminship again in future? Please respond wherever you feel it is most appropriate. Kind regards. —'''[[User:Cyclonenim|Cyclonenim]]''' ([[User talk:Cyclonenim|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Cyclonenim|contribs]] · [[Special:EmailUser/Cyclonenim|email]]) 16:24, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
:Oh, really? Ha, well I like my timing then :) I'll have to get back to you on that I'm afraid, as I have two admin coaches who I assume, when the time comes, would like to be part of my nomination. As you're probably aware already, some people have disagreements with someone having more than two co-noms. I'd very much like it if you did co-nom me, however, but as I said I'll get back to you closer to the time :) Many thanks. —'''[[User:Cyclonenim|Cyclonenim]]''' ([[User talk:Cyclonenim|talk]] · [[Special:Contributions/Cyclonenim|contribs]] · [[Special:EmailUser/Cyclonenim|email]]) 16:40, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

;<big>From the Judges</big>
We're still going strong.  Couple of things though; please note that you must make it known you are in the WikiCup when nominating FAs, FLs, FPos, FPs, and FSs.  This is to lower the possibility of bias.  We're also changing the way you get to the next round.  Now, the top ''two'' from each round get through, along with '''ten wildcards'''.  This means that even if you're not in the top two you can still get into Round 2, so even if you're in the [[group of death]] you can still go through.  Hopefully this will be fairer for all.  We've also unfortunately had our first withdrawal - {{flagicon|El Salvador}} [[User:Truco|Truco]] has left the Cup.  Best wishes for him in the future.

I found as much info as I'm going to find concerning other countries.  Luckily, I did find something for Australia and Hong Kong, which counters US-centered POV in the article.  [[User:Thegreatdr|Thegreatdr]] ([[User talk:Thegreatdr|talk]]) 18:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

== Country outlines project update ==

There has been a flurry of activity on the project as of late - so much so that I felt compelled to write another progress report...

; More racing award graphics!

[[User talk:Penubag|Penubag]] has completed 4 more award graphics for our upcoming edit races.  They look great!

; New outline developer

[[User talk:Buaidh|Buaidh]] has joined the effort to develop country outlines.  Like [[user talk:Zlerman|Zlerman]], he has chosen specific outlines to work on.  Which ones?  All the countries of the Americas!

; Bots!

[[User talk:Thehelpfulone]] now has a bot, and [[User talk:Robert Skyhawk]] has requested approval for one.  Work on the country outlines using these should start soon.  I feel the [[technological singularity]] approaching.  :)

; Regex

Several of us have been trying to figure out how to use regular expressions (regex), in AWB, and once we have done this, we should be able to insert country names into entries for all the outlines using a single search/replace regex.  

[[User talk:Thehelpfulone]] has successfully used AWB and regex to complete a 2-line search/replace using the \n command.  

; Regex repository - please add to it!

As a reference aid, I've set up the page [[User:The Transhumanist/Regexes]] for reporting the regexes we use.  Please post regexes you've used successfully to that page.  That way, everyone on the team can learn from each others' successes and we thereby leverage our experience collectively.  Thank you.

== AWB regex task ==

Where "x" is AWB's regex wildcard, use AWB's regex feature (check the box) to do the following search/replace:

Search for:

<nowiki>: ''Main article: [[Education in x]]''</nowiki>

And replace it with the following 3 lines (2 lines of text with a blank line in-between):

<nowiki>: ''Main article: [[Education in x]]''</nowiki>

* [[Universities in x]]


Note: If you need help, ask [[User talk:Robert Skyhawk]] and [[User talk:Thehelpfulone]].  They are working on this type of thing too.

==Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1==
Hi, Juliancolton. I notice you closed the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1 (2nd nomination)]]. So far so good... This was actually the second AfD, and the AfD notice at [[Talk:Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 1]] now links to the first one, giving the second one's date. Also, this was a bundle nomination, including [[Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 2]], [[Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 3]], [[Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 4]], and [[Looney Tunes Golden Collection: Volume 5]], and they all still have their AfD notices. Could you fix them up? I'm not very good at this sort of thing. Regards. [[User:Dekkappai|Dekkappai]] ([[User talk:Dekkappai|talk]]) 04:15, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I've had a serious rethink and re-research of this nom. I still think that an admin should be in a position to grant rollback right away (I think rollback is fundamental, but then I've never been an admin, so ...) I've decided I can override this and support now. Thanks for your comments, you made me reconsider what looks like a good nomination.
