You're a sysop!

Hi, Enochlau, Congratulations on Becoming a Sysop

Hey there. I'm pleased to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator! You've volunteered to do housekeeping duties that normal users sadly cannot participate in. Sysops can't do a lot of stuff: They can't delete pages just like that (except patent nonsense like "aojt9085yu8;3ou"), and they can't protect pages in an edit war they are involved in. But they can delete random junk, ban anonymous vandals, delete pages listed on Votes for deletion (provided there's a consensus) for more than one week, protect pages when asked to, and keep the few protected pages that exist on Wikipedia up to date.

Almost anything you can do can be undone, but please take a look at The Administrators' how-to guide and the Administrators' reading list before you get started (although you should have read that during your candidacy ;). Take a look before experimenting with your powers. Also, please add Administrators' noticeboard to your watchlist, as there are always discussions/requests for admins there. If you have any questions drop me a message at My talk page. Have fun! =Nichalp «Talk»=

Please also add your name to WP:LA. =Nichalp «Talk»= 04:12, 2 December 2005 (UTC) [reply]

Woohoo! Enochlau 12:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Deepmix

IMHO, I think you're reading CSD A3 too narrowly. By the standards you give, I could create an article whose sole contents are "Here is a picture of my cat," followed by a link, and you would not consider that speediable under A3. If A3 doesn't apply here, A1 surely must. The article tells us nothing about the radio station, what its listenership is like, what if any significance it has. If you disagree, please feel free to remove the speedy tag and send it to AfD instead. Regards, howcheng [ t  c  w  e ] 23:59, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The reason why I tagged it for speedy delete was that I assumed it was a copyvio, since the contributor's other articles were aslo copyvios. I haven't found an exact match for this, but this link comes close. Sorry for the inconvenience, but the article as it stands doesn't come out good at all. I was going to tag it for cleanup, but as I originally entered this, it was deleted anyway. ErikNY 02:23, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Afraid of banstick...

Hello, i have recently been adding some lore for the online game Dark and Light. This lore draws on established mythology, but the Agnar(DnL) page has been deleted, even though i am quite sure that i cited my sources, and i was not even contacted about the deletion... it was just removed... i would go and recreate the page, and be sure that i cited my sources (as can be found on Gothar) but i am a little afraid of the banstick...

Concerning Frederick Noel Dotson III

Looking back at the history of this article --Frederick Noel Dotson III - in the initial comments, the author indicated it was about his/her father -- "(This article is solely about my father.)" The article says "presiding", not "president" - I think the author meant "residing". There is a town called Oracle in Arizona. As far I could find, there is no Dotson associated with Oracle -- thus the nomination for speedy delete. At this point, an anon IP has blanked the article. ERcheck 03:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

BTW - president of Oracle is Charles Philips and Oracle main offices are in California, not Arizona. ERcheck 03:19, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's probably too late — I missed the AfD — but I would have voted to move the page to List of historical people portrayed as heroes, with restrictions similar to those at List of historical people portrayed as villains. It doesn't seem to me that there was a strong consensus on the AfD page, but I defer to your judgement. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 20:25, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, please, it would be wonderful if you could provide me with the former content of List of non-fictional heroes. I won't be able to work on the proposed List of historical people portrayed as heroes for some time, but when I do have time it would be great to have this as a resource. Thank you! —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:47, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Enochlau. At a glance, it seems that it will require more work to massage into the NPOV perspective than I had hoped, but I will work on it in time. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:55, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Just a reminder; when you re-create an article with {{deletedpage}} you should protect it (as I've just done for List of non-fictional heroes. Articles that aren't being created frequently enough to need protection don't need to have the template either. —Cryptic (talk) 16:44, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and the talk pages of deleted articles should almost always be speedied (per WP:CSD#G8), not get a "This article was discussed at AFD" banner like kept articles do. —Cryptic (talk) 16:47, 9 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Skin Cell/Human Skin Model

Hello, I need to make a model of a skin cell/human skin, but I'm having problems as to how to go about doing that. I was searching for information about human skin and I rememered Wikipedia is usually a great source to refer to so I decided to take a visit. Sure enough, I came across the page that tells all about human skin. I also noticed the image of your human skin model. Is there anything you can do or say to help me with my model (which I haven't started yet)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Need2KnowBasis (talk • contribs) 05:52, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of Oh My Goddess episodes

Thanks for deleting those images. May I ask a favor? Can you please "rename" some of the images that appear on this page? The ones under Season 1 section. I was trying to get them all to follow the Oh My Goddess 1x??.png pattern. --Cool Cat^Talk|@ 02:07, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think images can be renamed. You might just have to upload them and get the old ones speedily deleted :( Cheers. Enochlau 02:10, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion of Dominic Preston

Hi, I put a nn-bio tag on Dominic Preston, which you deleted earlier today. However, I see its talk page still exists. Is this normally the case? (I dealt with the 'what links here' articles.) --BillC 18:37, 5 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Maddox Jolie-Pitt

Hi, I noticed you removed the {{nn-bio}} tag from him. I've been under the impression that a person isn't considered famous here because of their parentage, and they only warrant a mention on the parents' pages. The kid is only around 7 years old so I don't think he can be notable yet on his own merits. (I googled him up before tagging that). I missed Zahara Jolie-Pitt though (created by the same user), and she's 9 months old.

However, since we're having a (one-sided) discussion, I'm not really sure what should be done to them (afd?), since someone's bound to keep recreating the articles. Normally you could redirect, but sadly both of the parents are famous so you couldn't really just choose one :( - Bobet 01:41, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, I agree it's probably better just to leave the article there (although it would be more suited for a tabloid than an encyclopedia, someone's bound to search for that at some point). I'll just clean it up a bit and find a reference link. Sorry for being so hasty on putting the tag up, I didn't really think it through at first. - Bobet 02:26, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I looked, and found that he isn't a jolie-pitt yet, so I'm just confused now. Maybe I should start reading tabloids or something. I moved Zahara Jolie-Pitt to Zahara Jolie, but there already was a page about Maddox (which redirects to angelina jolie), so you'll have to move it. And now I feel like I'd actually get pissed if these articles get deleted, after all that hard work. - Bobet 02:39, 6 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you!

Hi Enochlau!

Please delete

HI, please delete Rohit shah. This is a fairly common personal name in India, such as say "John Smith"; you will agree that no such page should exist, and also that it is absurd to redirect "John Smith" to the "Smith" page, which describes what blacksmiths do for a living.

Deleted page: Majesty_(band)/Temp

Hi Enochlau. You recently deleted a page I created, Majesty_(band)/Temp. It was created as part of the copyvio process (see Majesty_(band)). Was your deletion a mistake or was there a reason it was deleted? As I understand it, the temporary page for a copyvio is supposed to remain in place so that people can construct a new article...

Article delete: Wang Sichao

Don't you think before delete articles, you should notify the one who wrote it first? Don't you think you should delete an article without any discussions? Well, that article is a stub and very low-quality, but you should not make a speedy deletion without notify the writer or make any discussions. Someone added Template:nn-bio tags on it, but the one added the tag who even has no his/her own user page! So you would better undelete that article and if possible and never make speedy deletion like that. Thanks. — Yaohua2000 21:37, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Enochlau. I was wondering if you would take another look at the Geisha picture that was nominated for Featured Image status; two edits of the image were uploaded and some comments were left that may address your reasons for opposing.

Why did you delete my biography?

Hi there. Please let me know why you deleted my biography on Dec 10th. Thanks. Andrew Crookall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.6.118.145 (talk • contribs)

(Removed email address) Read WP:MUSIC and WP:BIO. It was speedily deleted for being a biography that did not meet notability requirements. If you are certain that you meet the notability criteria as set out on the two preceding links, you are welcome to rewrite the article, ensuring that the content of the article addresses those notability criteria. I should point out that it is a serious faux pas to write about yourself. It is called vanity. Furthermore, Wikipedia is not a place to advertise your services. Do not write your email address on any article pages, and I suggest that you do not do so on any talk pages (in particular, not on mine; I will not reply via email).

I do not have an inflated opinion of myself. The article I wrote was entirely factual. I have requested that all information and all contributions I have made to any site connected with Wikipedia be removed. I hope that will be done as soon as possible. I do not wish to be connected with such small minded thinking. Andrew Crookall.
