AfD

Just a note aboute AfD (articles for deletion): to nominate an article, just place {{subst:afd}} at the beginning of the article. This will generate the box for nominating an article (I'm under the impression you've been using cut&past, which is more complicated and prone to errors). Bye. - Liberatore(T) 15:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

And please use an edit summary that says you are putting the article up for deletion. SchmuckyTheCat 21:11, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Splitting of articles

I noticed you've done a lot of article-splitting recently, which is fine in and of itself. However I think the unspoken standard is to usually leave behind some of the content, and only to move a section into its own article once it has become too unwieldy within the article as a whole. For instance, if you look at this section in the Sun article, you'll see it links to the main article, Faint young sun paradox - but the Sun article still has a brief description of the paradox, so that a casual reader will still be given an introduction to the subject without having to visit another article. This is just some constructive criticism - many articles out there are way too big, so splitting things up generally isn't a bad thing. Cheers! --P e ruvianLlama^(spit) 22:05, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. The main article should have a general overview; it's only worth splitting stuff if one particular section is getting massive. JayW 22:20, 23 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rape articles

I'll admit that I was a bit disturbed to see you create something like ten articles on rape in the space of five minutes, but it made more sense once I figured out that you're forking off new articles from large parents. It looked a bit odd for a minute there, though. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 23:31, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Someone hijacked your account?

I notice that you have suddnely started moving articles and making random acts of vandalism that don't seem to be usual. Have you been taken over by aliens or just gone over to the Dark Side? Dabbler 11:56, 24 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cat flap

With regard to your recent comments, "It's surprising how many stupid Wikipedians there are." I would ask you to remain civil. - FrancisTyers · 12:57, 26 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sliding glass door

This doesn't seem appropriate as an article in its own right, so I have suggested that it be merged with Door, to save on the proliferation of articles about many similar concepts. Good idea? (aeropagitica) (talk) 13:01, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Page moves

Please don't make any more page moves without opening discussion on the appropriate talk page and gaining support first. You've made a number of inappropriate page moves recently - some of them against clear prior consensus. To avoid causing unnecessary trouble it is important that you know the subject and have the support of other editors. -- Solipsist 20:00, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't remove tags

If you dispute a CSD, the appropriate remedy is to place a hangon tag in the article. In fact, the template on the page says that. Wikipedia is not a place for dicitonary entries. See WP:not If you want to make dicitonary entries then you might want to go to Wiktionary Brian 16:35, 1 July 2006 (UTC)btball[reply]

As they say in the movies, "oh be-have". Seriously, though, we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so don't make joke edits. Some readers looking for a serious article might not find them amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do a bit seriously here. If you'd like to experiment with editing, try the sandbox, where you can write whatever you want (as long as it's not offensive).

Fuji (company)

Hi, I noticed you started an article a little while ago at Fuji (company), but there's already an article on the company at Fujifilm. However, I did notice that you had made a good start at making a list of the company's products, so I proposed renaming the article to List of Fujifilm products for such an article along the lines of List of Motorola products. You might want to add your input to the move discussion at Talk:Fuji (company). -- Hawaiian717 03:21, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

-== Photographic lens ==
-Please don't paste in huge amounts of content from other web pages, as you did with [[Photographic lens]]. While Camerapedia content is licensed under the GFDL, the material was redundant and already convered in the article or other articles. I hope I didn't hurt your feelings by reverting your edit, but we can't have people cutting-and-pasting content into Wikipedia without any consideration for local standards of [[WP:MOS|style]]. Some of it may be useful however e.g I notice that no mention is currently made of [[lens mount]]s in the article. --[[User:Imroy|Imroy]] 03:55, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
