Hi. I couldn't help but notice your comments at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Living_dinosaurs]]. While I agree that the idea of deleting articles can be frustrating -- and I have plenty of issues myself relating to other policies here -- it is still bad form to violate [[WP:CIVIL]], which I feel you have done. Name-calling and insults are not the way to handle this sort of discussion. Criticize all you want -- although there are some who feel we shouldn't have the right to complain, I feel the more people who do complain the more likely we might see some changes made. But by violating WP:CIVIL you run the risk of not only being blocked or even banned, but more importantly the point you're trying to make might be lost or even ignored. Cheers.

Please don't add unsourced material to articles, such as [[Fiordland National Park]]. Blogs are almost never acceptable as sources. If you are making extraordinary claims, such as the continued existence of long-extinct animals, you need particularly sound sources.-<font face="cursive" color="#808080">[[User talk:gadfium|gadfium]]</font> 18:30, 5 April 2008 (UTC) |

Revision as of 18:30, 5 April 2008
AfD nomination of Burrunjor
I have nominated Burrunjor, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Burrunjor. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

No, not really. I hate Australians, and am extremely prejudiced against them so yeah I'll give that a miss but thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spikeesam (talk • contribs) 18:12, 4 April 2008

Hi. I couldn't help but notice your comments at [[1]]. While I agree that the idea of deleting articles can be frustrating -- and I have plenty of issues myself relating to other policies here -- it is still bad form to violate WP:CIVIL, which I feel you have done. Name-calling and insults are not the way to handle this sort of discussion. Criticize all you want -- although there are some who feel we shouldn't have the right to complain, I feel the more people who do complain the more likely we might see some changes made. But by violating WP:CIVIL you run the risk of not only being blocked or even banned, but more importantly the point you're trying to make might be lost or even ignored.
