Short paging disambiguation pages

Explain to me please why that even needs to be done... Sadly many disambiguation pages will be shorter than you want, they're disambiguation pages not articles. Why don't you set something up so that the short article list avoids pages that (are properly) marked as not being articles instead? You don't short page redirects, do you?  ^{æronphonehome}  03:52, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

I've just taken a look at the category that you are adding DAB pages to and it says this: "as they meet a minimum level of quality, but that still could benefit from attention and fleshing out." Disambiguation pages, as I said above, are not articles and therefore do not need to be "fleshed out". You yourself shortened the pages further at the same time you added the longcomment template to them. I'm removing your changes, and I'll watch that category for other DABs. If you have a problem with this you can start an edit war or come up with something more convincing that makes what you're saying valid.  ^{æronphonehome}  04:00, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Myself! Are all 8,000 pages in that category DABs???  ^{æronphonehome}  04:08, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Further proof that editing Wikipedia turns people into a powder keg. I have been editing DABs for a year now, the two articles you marked as short is the first time I've even seen that template, and you are the first to proclaim the inevitability what you do. Veiled threats from one established user to another aside, what is your response to the information I've shown you that makes it look as if short paging a DAB is going to far? When you can respond to THAT we can go somewhere.  ^{æronphonehome}  05:43, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Since you've been silent for two days I'll assume that the issue is resolved between us. I agree that DABs do not belong on the Short Pages list, but equally do not belong on your watch list or need a template reserved for articles. A bug for this problem already exists on Bugzilla so at Mannings suggestion I bumped it and commented on the nature of the bug. Hopefully you won't continue applying that template and allow time for a MediaWiki update, because once it takes place however many DABs are on your page will have to be manually removed whereas all DABs on the Short Pages list will simply disappear.  ^{æronphonehome}  04:44, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Public reactions to death of Rachel Corrie at DRV

Why do you close the DRV discussion for Public reactions to death of Rachel Corrie here so quickly? I'm also concerned about the very short AFD discussion and wanted to follow up on the closing at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2009 May 27. Would it be ok for me to start a new discussion? -- Ricky28618 (talk) 22:19, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, that certainly discourages frank and open discussion. Should I ask the users who had similar concerns in the past to do it instead? -- Ricky28618 (talk) 23:05, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

The fact that it's so controversial is why I'm switching to this sock temporarily. It's all in accordance with policy. -- Ricky28618 (talk) 23:11, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ridge, Robertson County, Texas

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Ridge, Robertson County, Texas, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unnotable unincorporated community.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 15:43, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of Ridge, Robertson County, Texas

I have nominated Ridge, Robertson County, Texas, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ridge, Robertson County, Texas. 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.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 16:04, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Template:Surnames by language

Excellent idea on adding exclusion parameter! I've made it optional, and reworded a bit to allow more extensive exclusions. See Category:English-language surnames for the most (so far). Thanks for making the effort to update all of the existing categories. I've added documentation, so hopefully folks will take the time to follow the examples in the future.
--William Allen Simpson (talk) 06:56, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Your wording is better than mine, good job! Templates are way under-used around here, but that's a long story. :-) Carlossuarez46 (talk) 07:03, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! I'm sure we'll need to watch it like a hawk.... Yeah, templates are starting to resemble fixed categories and lists, instead of their original purpose. And few categories have good descriptions.

Highspeed

I've seen the vandalism that Highspeed did to your talk page, but where are the personal attacks? An IP claiming to be Highspeed has posted at my talk page, asking for a review or at least the ability to post an unblock template on the talk page. As well as explaining the situation, would you be willing to let me block/decide not to block the IP instead of doing it yourself? Nyttend (talk) 16:53, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Could you show me diffs for the personal attacks? Nyttend (talk) 22:50, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks; I was confused by the situation (indeed, I still am), so I had no idea what to do. One more question: why did you protect Highspeed's talk? Nyttend (talk) 00:40, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

As you seem to be involved in a dispute with this user, I'm gravely concerned not only that you blocked them, but that you attempted to stifle their ability to seek independent review of your action. As is mentioned very explicitly both in the blocking policy and at Special:Block, that option should generally not be used without careful consideration. Now, I do see this very unusual edit, but given that I see no warnings in the history of Highspeed's talk page history, and this user has been with us since 2006, I simply don't see how an immediate and indefinite block, with zero warnings and no obvious history of disruption, set by an involved administrator two days after the fact, can be justified, let alone the talk page lock. Please be mindful of the chilling effects your actions may have on impacted users and wield your tools carefully. In the meantime, some comment on the user's current unblock request would be very much appreciated. – Luna Santin (talk) 09:54, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm referring specifically to discussion at Template talk:Monterey County, California and here at your own talk page where Highspeed was requesting the deletion of several articles you had recently created -- apparently in your eyes, this marks a user as a sockpuppet, vandal, and "racist". I say again: indefinitely blocking an editor who's been with us since 2006, and removing that user's ability to appeal, is extremely draconian. You are not judge, jury, and executioner. You've repeatedly accused Highspeed and apparently Norcalal of being socks of Biaswarrior or otherwise colluding, but I don't see any evidence of that -- and I do say that having checkusered or otherwise examined several of Biaswarrior's actual socks. Unless you can demonstrate positively that a three-year-old account is a sockpuppet, this block cannot stand on those grounds. – Luna Santin (talk) 00:43, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Additionally, I've just realized you accused Highspeed of wikistalking you at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive552#User:Norcalal & User:Highspeed, and now say that you've never been in contact with Highspeed, before. Which is it? – Luna Santin (talk) 01:02, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

zeroing

by the way, as the creator of Zeroing (trade), I recognize that it is a relatively arcane usage of the term, and I would be satisfied if zeroing redirected to calibration while this page were called zeroing (disambiguation) with a hatnote at calibration.

Ummm, I'm typing all this from work so I can't (read:shouldn't) do it right now, but drop me a note at my talk page as a reminder, and I'd be happy to take care of it tonight. Agradman ^talk/_contribs 16:19, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

German politicians

Appreciate your comments at the drama queen centre that is ANI. What frustrates me greatly is that the articles are intended to be transferred and would seme to differ from others in that the information exists already on wikipedia in German, it just needs putting in english. Claus Peter Poppe was expanded in two minutes flat and clearly meets content requirements. Any other one of them could be, they are not perma stubs and anybody who can be bothered can expand in two minutes flat. Over half of the articles up for deletion to not even violate BLP they are about politicians who died 30 years for example. It is always this moral panic by the community, the same attitude they showed when we made the geobot proposals. People are willing to spend time moaning and calling me names but if each and every one of them actually supported the new articles and did there best to build up the articles we'd at least get half of the new articles up to scratch. It is very disheartening to face this kind of opposition from people. I don't have to spend a minute of my time editing wikipedia and this sucks. Dr. Blofeld ^{White cat} 10:20, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

WikiProject TRANSWIKI

Hi. In light of recent events and community concerns about the way in which content is transferred I have proposed a new wikiproject which would attempt to address any of the concerns and done in an environment where a major group of editors work together to transfer articles from other wikipedias in the most effective way possible without BLP or referencing problems. Please offer your thoughts at the proposal and whether or not you support or oppose the idea of a wikiproject dedicated to organizing a more efficient process of getting articles in different languages translated into English.

Basic Element

I saw your edit at Basic Element. Do you know what should be done to Basic Element (music group) now that there is a disambig page? It still says "Basic Element is also the investment firm owned by Oleg Deripaska" - this should probably be changed, but to what? Offliner (talk) 17:33, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Sujit Mukherjee

Hi Carlos, I saw your deletion of the above article yesterday. It is an article I am in the process of creating. Just started it, and mentioned as a start stub. Sujit Mukherjee is notable as probably the best cricket writer to have come out of India, and in many opinions, one of the best ever. It is surprising that he as not there on wikipedia in the first place.
I do understand if your concern is that of the stub article being created without sources, and without enough information (that will change, the plan I have is to complete a detailed one in some time). The writer, however, is notable. Here are a few examples. Obituary on The Hindu, reputed Indian newspaper, List of books by Sujit Mukherjee, from an online portal, He has been a First-Class cricketer- Cricinfo, [2], [3], [4]. Please do consider re-instatement, and I will be taking it forward to create a comprehensive biography, as planned.- Godof86 (talk) 07:03, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Sutterville

Hey, I was wondering what prompted you to redirect Sutterville, California to Sutter Creek, California? On page 565 of California's Geographic Names, for Sutter Creek there doesn't appear to be an alternate name as "Sutterville", but there is a "Sutterville" listing on that same page. I went searching for a Wikipedia entry on Sutterville because it is a California Historical Landmark now. I have ancient APN books at where I work, and Sutterville is mapped out to be its own area. Nowadays that area is probably within the city limits of Sacramento, but Sutterville Road remains a major thoroughfare.

AfD listing of IRRT

Hello, you recently nominated IRRT to the Articles for Deletion process (Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/IRRT) when the article was probably uncontroversial. AfD requires volunteer work on the part of others, and there is usually a backlog of requests which hinders careful analysis of each nomination. Please consider the speedy deletion or proposed deletion processes first in the future, as recommended by the overall deletion policy. Thank you. --MrStalker ^(talk) 16:20, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nelio Guerson and Carlos Guerson

Hi, I'm contacting you because you speak Portuguese. I started Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nelio Guerson and Carlos Guerson because there were no online sources; however, the creator has no posted some sources (which he scanned and uploaded to Flickr), which are all in Portuguese. Could you please evaluate the sources and see if they are reliable and are in-depth? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 19:50, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Armenia

Hi. As you created the Armenia place articles, could you please make some navigation templates to link all the communities by province. E.g see Lori Province and the communities. Could you list all the communities from each province in some templates like Azerbaijan but structure them by district given inside each province template?Himalayan Explorer 09:20, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Like this:

See Wikipedia:WikiProject Armenia/Provincial templates. I've made them, can you help fill them out and place them in the articles?Himalayan Explorer 12:34, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Siimple! Just go into the province article, e.g Lori Province and copy and paste the communities by district into the templates!!! Himalayan 18:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Same IP

Hi, Carlossuarez. I am the son of a banned user of en.wiki and I want to ask you if the fact that I am going to use the same modem of my father (I live with him and my family in Coconut Creek, a town inside the greater Miami metropolitan area) will create problems. I know (from a friend who is a wikipedia user) that I must pinpoint this close relationship with my father's IP in my user page. But I hope (in case of a future check up, for any reason) that I will not be banned simply because I have the same IP of my banned father. Sincerely.--LittleTony (talk) 01:37, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Hello, I am waiting for a kind answer.....sincerely.--LittleTony (talk) 20:14, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Categorisation by ethnicity

This is just to tell you that I find your arguments against categorisation by ethnicity to be well-argued and convincing. Please inform me in the future if somebody repeats the claim that your position is held only by a fringe or a tiny minority in wikipedia.
