Hi! Just a small housekeeping detail...be sure to add new warnings to the end to keep them in chronological order. Inserting them into the middle makes it very hard for later editors (or bots) to follow the sequence. I went ahead and put it back in order. -- Jim Douglas ^(talk) _(contribs) 19:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

• Yeah, I thought it would be in order but the way the sections were formatted foiled my plans. I shall keep an eye on this in the future. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 14:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I have made an error

After seeing Werdbabot set up to archive your user page, I copied it to follow as a guide to set up a archive for my page as it was getting long. In the process I did not change all of the links I should have and the one for the section index was missed. The result was on its first run it index my page to your index. The problem is I have no idea how to fix it correctly. I have posted the a message to User talk:Werdna asking how to fix the problem completly reverting the posting already done. I am sorry for the mess that this has caused and will follow through to correct the issue. Thank you for your understanding. TheRanger 16:07, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• Not a problem. If you don't hear back soon, you can probably just cut and paste your stuff out of my archive. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 16:11, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

• I think I fixed it with a cut and paste all looks good. Thanks for your understanding. TheRanger 16:14, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

1. (assigned) I feel that I have made very valuable contributions to the project, not just in terms of editing, but in vandal fighting and other admin-esque activities. I would, however, like to get some objective advice on how I might improve my performance here in order for a potential RfA run. --cholmes75 (chit chat) 16:23, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

   Many RfA's get turned down because it is felt that the editor doesn't have enough experience in either the article namespace or the wikipedia namespace. Once you have about 2,000 article edits and another 2,000 edits on administrative-like chores such as participation in AfD's, volunteer departments like the Help desk, Reference desk, WikiProjects, etc. You should be fine. The two areas Wikipedia needs the most help in right now are its Wikipedia:backlogs and fighting Wikipedia:Vandalism. Start using AutoWikiBrowser, if you haven't already, to really make an impact.  The Transhumanist   09:39, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Killers (KISS)

I recently made a change to the KISS Killers album art shown on Kiss Discography that i thought made more sense. Rather than the German Version, I think it should be revised so that the Original Logo album cover is on the KISS Discography page. You changed it back, but i think that sense on KISSonline.com the main one is the original logo album cover. So i suggest, respectfully, that we have the original logo album art listed. i really like the info you post on KISS!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Austinallison (talk • contribs)

• Thanks for the comments. Honestly it's not a big deal to me either way. In the future, however, I would suggest that you use edit summaries when making changes like that. That way someone reviewing your change knows exactly why it was performed, and may be less likely to revert it. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 16:21, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

You're now an admin, so have fun using the the new tools to help improve the project and keep it runningly smoothly. Re-read the policies before acting and don't hesitate to ask for advice. Again, congrats - Taxman ^Talk 20:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Reason Request

Hi Cholmes75,

Not sure if this is the first place to start, so point me in the right direction if I am wrong. Ok, can you please give me a reason for deletion of the article (Cool) Shite on the Tube podcast. If it is due to the content not having enough in it, that is because I only just started it. Any feedback would be great so I can help add more to podcast articles and create some for my faviourte shows. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Razorbolt (talk • contribs)

• In order for an article on a podcast to stay, it has to demonstrate the Notability of the subject. Some of the criteria that a podcast article would be held to are on WP:WEB. Hope this helps. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 04:00, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
• Thanks for the info, I'll make sure that I will put more into the article before walking away so it doesn't get deleted. I was going to come back to it (that is how I discovered it was deleted) and fill it in more. So I will start again and post it when much more complete. Thanks Razorbolt

Regarding Johnny Contardo

Regarding Johnny Contardo, I believe it is custom to send the article to Wikipedia:Copyright problems when the author authorizes the reproduction, yet the original source does not state the text is being released under a free license. Would you object this? -- ReyBrujo 04:22, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Done. I have also left a note in the user's talk page to request her to check the page and follow the instructions listed there. -- ReyBrujo 04:36, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

RfA Thanks

		Mike's RfA Thanks
		Cholmes75: Thanks very much for your support at my RfA. Unfortunately, it was clear that no consensus was going to be reached, and I have withdrawn the request at a final tally of 31/17/4. Regardless, I really appreciate your confidence in me. Despite the failure, rest assured that I will continue to edit Wikipedia as before. If all goes well, I think that I will re-apply in January or February. - Mike | Talk 04:38, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Dear Cholmes75,

You deleted my article on Wikipedism - Religion based upon text constantly being edited by multiple authors. I was asked to defend its merits first, and did so, but was then deleted anyway. I never did see any rebuttle of my quite logical and eloquent defense of the topic. Care to make any comment, other than calling the religious beliefs of myself and fellow Wikipedists utter nonsense? Also, is the text that I entered still available anywhere?

Martin Randall Travel

That was my general impression. My main goal was to get a newer user expereinced with process. Thanks for your help. Hopefully, they will stick around and become valued Wikipedians. Cheers. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 13:02, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion Reason Request

Cholmes75,

Can you please explain to me why you deleted the article for Sportsvite. There are listing for many social networking website and and Sportsvite should fall into this catagory. Do more references need to be provided or more proof of traffic and relevence? Would like to hear how we can build a better entry. thanks. --Sportslit 20:16, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Uniquehomestore.com

We are requesting that our page be undeleted. Any business page under businesses in Massachusetts could be deleted with reason g11. We tried to keep our page informational and we were working on the content when it was deleted today. We are valid U.S Corporation ( not a home based business ) and we are trying to get listed in our state. I am requesting that our page be undeleted. Thanks Jeff — Preceding unsigned comment added by WaveRunr (talk • contribs)

• I deleted the page because you had blanked it, which usually indicates that the creator wants it deleted. But even before the blanking, there was nothing in the article that showed the notability of the company. Just being an operational business is not enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. If you can use verifiable sources to prove the notability of the company, you are welcome to recreate the article. But simply recreating it in its old form will almost certainly lead to another deletion. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 22:01, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Rising Sun Performance Company

Rising Sun Performance Company is a major off-off-Broadway company and should not have been deleted. --Scottandrewhutchins 06:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• The article did not provide any proof that it is "major," and was proposed for deletion by another editor. Per the guidelines at WP:PROD, it was deleted after 5 days as no one objected. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 16:24, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Re. Relakks

Hi, I represent the Swedish company Relakks. I recently visited both the English and the Swedish Wikipedia sites to find out what information that was posted about our Relakks Safe Surf service. I found that there was a little information posted since before but the majority of the facts about the service was wrong. I therefore edited the two pages and corrected the facts. At first I also wrote positive about the service. When I revisited the site the next day someone had added a negative comment about the service. I sat down and thought about what to do for a minute or so. My conclusion was that the right thing to do was to delete both the positive and the negative comments in order to make Wikipedia the neutral and informative service I think it should be to its users. After that last edit there was only neutral and correct information about the service and as mentioned above I think that's what Wikipedia is all about.

So today I payed the site another visit only to realize that you had deleted the entire page. Now I wouldn't have complained if there would've been lots of incorrect and/or misleading information. But there wasn't. Neither do I think that the article matched criteria CSD G11. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Criteria) I would like an explanation and a proper motivation to why the article was removed. The Swedish article is still active which is also remarkable I must say since the English and the Swedish texts are as identical as can be.

Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relakks Official website: http://www.relakks.com

I'm looking forward to your response.

Best regards. Martin Olsson Relakks Crew

• Your article removed because it was in fact spam for your company. When an article contains a price list for services and addresses the reader directly, that's usually not a good thing. Please see our guidelines on WP:SPAM for more information. In addition, the article did not in any way establish the notability of your company, which is also a measure that many admins use here. As I am not an admin on the Swedish Wikipedia, I cannot comment on their rules and regulations regarding articles on companies. If you wish, you may visit our Deletion Review page and request a review of my deletion. If other editors/admins agree that the article does belong on Wikipedia, they can simply restore it. If you have any other questions let me know. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 14:34, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• Sounds fair enough! So what do I have to do to get us back on track. At the end of the day all I wanted was for a short presentation of the service to be shown in the Wikipedia. Of course there shouldn't be a price list. I couldn't find the Relakks article on the Deletion Review page. Could you please clarify what I need to do to correct my wrong? (I have now removed the price list from the Swedish Wikipedia as well) -- relakks_admin 17:17, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
• On the deletion review page, go to the section labeled "Decisions to be reviewed." It has instructions for listing the article so the deletion can be reviewed. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 16:22, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

• ==Relakks on deletion review==

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Relakks. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review.

User:User:Curtis Clark

Not exactly sure if I should report this or not. User:Thekid2323 has slightly vandalized one page and is arguing about it over an apparently unrelated user User:Curtis Clark on Curtis's userpage. After I reverted and left a note on Thekid's talk page, he made User:User:Curtis Clark with the same message. Not sure what it's all about but someone probably should check it out? Hopefully this isn't just a misunderstanding on my part. ^_^; -WarthogDemon 03:35, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
