Deletion summaries

Hi, I have noticed that you often provide only a very short abbreviated deletion summary when you delete pages (like "a7" "nn-bio" and similar). Please keep in mind that most users do not know all of Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria by heart. Please consider providing a brief "plain English" explanation without relying exclusively on "CSD jargon". Additionally linking to the relevant criteria so people can read it in full can also be useful, for example [[WP:CSD#A7]]. This will help a "layperson" better understand why something was deleted when looking at the deletion log.

Most browsers have a autocomplete or other "form filling" features that allow pre-prepared boil plate texts to be inserted into web forms with just a few keystrokes. This is useful for inserting detailed deletion summaries without having to type out the same things over and over. Please consider looking into it. Thanks. -- Longhair\^talk 10:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Every little bit helps, and I've noticed less "hassle" in followup messages when the "kill command" is clear ;) Thanks. -- Longhair\^talk 10:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

If you want a free bit of advice, using wiki features only, try this... find an article (take a nn bio for example, there's plenty of them to experiment with :-), edit the article and add the required {{db-bio}} tag, then click preview, but don't save. In bold along the top of the template you have your deletion summary. It works for me ;) -- Longhair\^talk 10:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank You

Thank you so very much for redirecting my comments ro Mr. Case. Adknam 11:21, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Squidward vandal you just blocked

Looks like a sock or imitator of Squidward vandal and therefore deserving of an indefblock instead of 24h. :) Syrthiss 20:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, looking at [1] this may just be an imitator. Squidward primarily used open proxy ips instead of usernames. Syrthiss 20:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Page

A page titled "Michael Malvasio" was recently deleted by you. I just wanted to take a screen shot of it, just to have, and then you can delete it again. Can you please put it up for 1 more day, so we can take a screen shot. That would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for any inconvience we have caused you. Thank you in advance for your response and help.

An External Link On Veronica Finn's Page

An IP user has added [2] as an external link to Veronica Finn. Although it is a link to a realestate site apparently run by Veronica Finn, is it considered a commercial link? The link actually helps verify some of the information in the article, so I'm wondering if the link is okay or not. Should it be removed? -WarthogDemon 04:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. :) I'll do that. I think it actually might get discussed fairly quickly. Looks like Justin Timberlake is starting to date her again. Oo -WarthogDemon 07:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Speedy deletion tagging as nonsense and warning users

Thanks for the advice, but I disagree about those pages being nonsense articles. Although I dont speciffically recall the articles, obviously an administrator agrred that it met the speedy deletion criteria as the articles were deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EMT1871 (talk • contribs)

I Am Not Sure If I Am Being Reckless

But can you delete Kayla (Orca)? The article had been recently created, then had a db tag placed on it for already having an article at Kayla (whale). It was then changed into a redirect to the second page. I'm thinking it'd be best to have Kayla (whale) moved over there, for consistency's sake. We already have pages like that such as Keiko (Orca). -WarthogDemon 06:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I actually just now noticed that the correct page is Keiko (orca). That being said, is it alright if I just change it into a redirect to that page, and then move the Kayla (whale) page to Kayla (orca)? -WarthogDemon 06:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for the confusion. ^_^;;; And thanks. :) -WarthogDemon 08:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for copyediting.--Peter Eisenburger 07:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry...

Sorry about that. I should have checked the guidelines of wikipedia page before I let my friend post that. O and i'm pretty impressed. I new wikipedia was fast to clean up stuff, didn't know it was that fast. :P It won't happen again. —Nerdman01 04:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

In last edit by IP:63.250.143.9 the vandal included (at line 317) the team motto is "forever purple." This has never been the case. Please reconsider the request. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SERSeanCrane (talk • contribs)

User:The monkey one

My inclination is to block indefinitely; the account has been used for nothing but vandalism, and has had a string of warnings? If you agree, I'll unblock and block again indefinitely. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:51, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

Nerd

Hi. I removed the section 'Clothes a nerd would wear' in the article Nerd as patent OR nonsense. Would you mind explaining why you reverted me? Thanks! GertrudeTheTramp 07:52, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Antikythera mechanism

Hi, I am curious to know under which guideline within WP:EL you keep removing the Counterpoint link: (Rm, again per WP:EL).

Please note that I have no strong opinions regarding its inclusion or exclusion. Martin Allen 08:45, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the explanation. What is the postion with regard to 'podcasts' in terms of the BBC's Listen Again facility and Nature's weekly editorial podcasts? I presume as these are not widely spamed, these are OK? Martin Allen 20:33, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

You Deleted my South Texas Country Artist Page

I am the Drummer for the page you deleted J.R. Castillo and Unwound. I started this page today and you deleted it. I know it needed some work, infact. It is going to take a lot of work. I did leave his web page and myspace pages on the wikipage in case someone though it was a nonsense article. I would appreciate a little more time to complete a page!! I was getting the documentation I needed to fill out the rest of his music singles and albums. If you don't think that he was worth noting, you should have waited to see that his "Surviving Emily" song hit number 1 in Texas Country. I hope you can restore it, because setting up all the code for the tables, colors, etc. was a pain in the you know what. I did not save the notepad doc that I was working with, because it was on Wikipedia. Please put my 2 hours of hard work back up so I can finish it.

And next time you could message the person in the discussion thread and give it a couple of days before DELETING IT.Lancemurphy 07:00, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

User Subpage help

Yes I copied the table structure. The two hours of work was me floating around the different artists webpages to find a structure I liked. I thought the whole point of this wiki was to ultimately move towards a uniform structuring. All I asked for was my code that was ready for me to edit. I am sorry if I was heated, but you did just delete my work less than 12 hours after I created it. Please send me the code and I will build the subpage first. I had no idead you could build the subpage first. Thanks Lancemurphy 22:08, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

User Subpage Created

Thanks for your help, I am sure that when the site is done and referenced it will be wiki qualified. Lancemurphy 20:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Question about images...

I just realized you're a WP admin. What's the proper tag to add to an image if it's a blatant advertisement? db-spam? --SamMichaels 05:44, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

A Question

Dear Gogo Dodo I am aspiring to become an administrator on Wikipedia, and I would like to know, from someone who already is an admin, whether I now meet the requirements and have enough standing here on Wikipedia to make a successful bid. Please assess my case, and provide an honest review on whether I am there yet and what should I do if I am not at where I need to be at the present point in time. Many thanks!
