Deleting Bahia Lapataia page edit

Hi, I don't think you should delete tiny, beginning pages. By starting a link there is more chance of people taking up the baton and expanding the topic. The page in question describes the location of a place and gives a fact or two about it. This seems relevant to me. Al

Hi, if you would like to recreate the article, you could always draft it in your userspace (User:Englishwildman/Bahia Lapataia) and I can take a look at it or you could seek help at Wikipedia:New contributors' help page to see if it fits with Wikipedia's standards. There are editors who will give you useful advice, copyedit and wikify the article and help you determine whether it satisfies Wikipedia's inclusion criteria. If you recreate the same material as an article without first improving it, another editor will likely nominate it for deletion again. I hope this information is helpful. Regards, Accurizer 13:02, 1 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Vendetta Alert edit

Accurizer, two people named Morginq and Drubroughton (though it's possible they're the same person) vandalized the NJ article and left the following note: "Until Accurizer stops sucking so much ass, New Jersey has been put on notice. SLS Rules!" I've reverted it back, but I'd thought I'd let you know.

The NJ page should have protection requested. Morging has repeatedly deleted warning templates from his talk page. This should be brought up with the admins. Ken S. 20:27, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hi Ken, this user vandalized again (to the Niger article) so I referred the matter to WP:AIV. He has been blocked for 48 hours. With regard to protecting the New Jersey page, this is not usually done when there are only a handful of users involved. The preferred response is to deal with the vandals individually, rather than disallowing the larger community from being able to edit an article. In any event, thanks for keeping an eye out for vandalism. Regards, Accurizer 23:46, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Wounded Soldier edit

I noticed that you do not find the wounded soldier article to be appropriate for display on wikipedia. The two links you sent me (what wikipedia is not and importance) were most interesting. After reading these artciles, I have failed to understand how this article does not qualify as a relavent wikipedia topic. Please be more specific with your reasoning so that I can appropriately fix the article. Also, were you familiar with the term before you read the article? I have heard it many times around many different groups of people and communities and can find it referenced in a number of documents that come up with a goole-search for the term. I thin enlightening people to its meaning is most informative and necessary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bucktown (talkcontribs)

Hi, before making this nomination, I attempted to verify whether the term was notable. However, my research led me to conclude that it appears to be a neologism, which should be avoided in Wikipedia, per WP:NEO. Also, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. I don't see how this subject could be more than a dictionary article. Perhaps you should present it at Wiktionary. In any event, if you object to its deletion, let me know and we can raise the matter at WP:AFD where the wider community would reach a consensus regarding whether or not the article should be kept. On a side note, please don't take the deletion process personally. Wikipedia is happy to accept your contributions that meet the inclusion criteria. Regards, Accurizer 20:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sorry I forgot to sign my comment on the WP:AFD page regarding this issue, guess that's what happens when you dont hit "show preview", thanks for the heads up and for attributing the comment to me. DrunkenSmurf 18:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Maxwell Mick Flame edit

He was fictional?! Wherein is that mentioned at all (besides the word starship, I notice as I reread)? It's really worthless as is, not telling where the character comes from and all, unless the original does, as you said, develop. Ah, well. You have a great day. Do what needs to be done. Niki Whimbrel 16:26, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppet edit

Has been indefblocked. Mak (talk) 03:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

What are you doing?! edit

Did you bother reading the stuff you deleted and turned into redirects? (I mean the gangs in Oz)

The info is not there. Compare this and this. (The Italians paragraph)

I am reverting your editions. OzOz 10:37, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

First and foremost, please assume good faith when you interact with other editors. This would include not characterizing other editor's work as vandalism in your edit summaries when it is not. It would be best it you read WP:VAND for an explanation of what vandalism is, and what vandalism is not. With regard to the Oz (TV series) articles, when I first came across them during vandal patrolling, I found serious duplication of information among these articles. Some of the articles did not even link to each other. I made an attempt to clean up the issues that I could and redirected articles that seemed duplicative. Indeed, you yourself seemed to indicate doubt about the way the articles had been created, see: [1]. If you don't like the way things came out feel free to fix them. But try to keep the articles consise. Also keep in mind that there is probably not a need for a separate article for every gang and character. If you feel it is justified to keep a large number of articles, you should create an info box that would appear in each article and show how they interrelate. I will revisit these articles in a week or so. If the duplicate information reappears I will propose mergers so that the wider community can discuss how best to proceed. Regards, Accurizer 12:32, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
I am sorry for my outburst. I shouldn't have said that. See my reply in my own talk page. OzOz
Apology accepted. I have no problem giving you as much time as you like. How about you drop me a note when you are finished, and I'll take a look at that time. Happy editing! Regards, Accurizer 12:53, 10 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

CrazyRussian's RfA edit

File:Motherussia.jpg Hello Accurizer, and thank you for your support at my request for adminship, which ended with an awe-inspiring 86/1/2 result. I plan to do much with my shiny new tools - but I'll start slow and learn the ropes at first. Please deluge me with assignments and requests - I enjoy helping out. For Mother Russia!! - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 05:21, 13 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

CatScan's Law edit

Just wanted to say I really have no strong feelings one way or another regarding the deletion of my article. I was just playing around. Although I suppose it would be overwhelmingly ironic to bring out the work nazi...j/k :P No hard feelings. —Preceding unsigned comment added by IneedaCatScan (talkcontribs)

David J. Silver edit

I was wondering if you thought this was worthy of a wikipedia page? Harvardlaw, who you have dealt with in the past, has attempted (if you look at his user history) to insert himself into several sections of wikipedia. I was just curious what someone else's opinion was. As fas as I can tell, this person's only notable quality is wresting in a tournament against more notable competitors. Thanks. AriGold 13:58, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I've reviewed the article, the subject doesn't seem notable to me. I think it should be brought to AfD. Regards, Accurizer 14:10, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thank you. AriGold 21:06, 14 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

AfD Project Page edit

Hi Mets501, I wanted to alert you that when you edited Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2006 June 14 earlier today, you accidently orpaned 95 nominations, see this diff: [2] I think I successfully restored all of the orphaned nominations. In the future please be careful because this can take quite a while to fix, especially if it goes unnoticed for a while and new nominations are added. Thanks. Accurizer 00:34, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Thanks so much for letting me know! I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen again. —Mets501 (talk) 00:42, 15 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Censored material edit

The information I added is %100 true. It's a legitimate piece of trivia known to countless many graduates of Beverly Hills High School, spanning MANY generations.

Why was it taken out? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boldy1 (talkcontribs)

Wikipedia is not a place to post jokes about your school's teachers and administrators. Please read the links on Wikipedia:Welcome, newcomers as well as Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not to answer your questions about Wikipedia. Accurizer 19:19, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Interesting, I FOUND NOTHING relating to my censored input. Are you trying to tell me that people can submit trivia containing well known jokes about celebrities and historical figures, but not school administrators? That seems very hypocritical. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boldy1 (talkcontribs)

Respond edit

"Interesting, I FOUND NOTHING relating to my censored input. Are you trying to tell me that people can submit trivia containing well known jokes about celebrities and historical figures, but not school administrators? That seems very hypocritical."


In fact, "Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive". There is a whole paragraph defending my point. Where do you get off censoring people? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boldy1 (talkcontribs)

Wikipedia is NOT censored. edit

Next time you try to prove a point against me, make sure your evidence supports your argument, not mine.

Wikipedia may contain content that some readers consider objectionable or offensive. Anyone reading Wikipedia can edit an article and the changes are displayed instantaneously without any checking to ensure appropriateness, so Wikipedia cannot guarantee that articles or images are tasteful to all users or adhere to specific social or religious norms or requirements. While obviously inappropriate content (such as an irrelevant link to a shock site) is usually removed immediately, some articles may include objectionable text, images, or links if they are relevant to the content (such as the article about pornography) and provided they do not violate any of our existing policies (especially Neutral point of view), nor the law of the U.S. state of Florida, where Wikipedia's servers are hosted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boldy1 (talkcontribs)

You're correct in that Wikipedia is not censored, but that is not the issue here. Please read further, see Wikipedia:Verifiability. Accurizer 19:54, 16 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

DVD+R/W's RfA edit

  Thank you for your support in my RfA, which ended with the result of (74/0/0). If there is anything I can help with feel free to ask. Also, if there is anything I am doing wrong, please point that out as well. I look forward to working with you in the future.

Highest regards, DVD+ R/W 01:29, 17 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


help with new article edit

can you help me with my new article on jps IT ?? How much info do I need to put in there to justify the page? I haven't got time this afternoon to finish the page off...? thanks from jpskidmore

In order to meet Wikipedia's inclusion criteria, the company would have to satisfy WP:CORP. This is because Wikipedia is for subjects that are already notable. Please read WP:CORP and let me know if you feel it satisfies this requirement. Provided it does, I would be happy to help you with the article. The next step would be to provide verifiable sources for the information that would be contained in the article. If you don't have time today to review WP:CORP or to improve the article, you should copy it onto your computer's hard drive or into your user space (User:Jpskidmore/jps IT) so that the information will be preserved in the event another deletion takes place. (I usually draft articles in a word processor before posting them to Wikipedia, so that they will be more complete when they are posted. This could help avoid deletion of the article while you are working on it.) Regards, Accurizer 16:39, 20 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

nothanks edit

It's a bit strange, but I've been told that technically anything that isn't released through GFDL, is actually a copyvio. It's was this site. This is the third time the article was a blantant copy-vio. If you have any issues drop me one, Yanksox (talk) 00:31, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

I'm not talking about this version. I hope we're talking about the original version which was deleted earlier, here's the deletion log. Yanksox (talk) 00:36, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

No problem, I am sorry if I rubbed off as a jerk. I really apreciate the fact that you approached me about it. It's important that we all are double checked. =) Yanksox (talk) 00:39, 22 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Re: Cute Is What We Aim for move edit

The header of the section you quoted reads "Album titles and band names", so even though it is not exactly stated, the convention should also apply to band names. It is general usage to use the same capitalisation rules for band names, so that e.g. self-titled albums don't have a different capitalisation than the band itself (according to the guideline, an album titled Cute Is What We Aim for would not have a capital "f"). So yes, I would mind if you reverted the changes... :) --HarryCane 12:11, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for your response. I posted a question regarding this policy at Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions#Interpretation of "Album titles and band names" because I think either way, the policy could be made more clear. Please take a look at the way I phrased the question and add to it or comment if you would like. Thanks. Regards, Accurizer 12:34, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply
Hey, thanks for pointing that out to me. I already replied to the NC talk thing, and I reverted my move. I usually stick by these rules pretty closely, so I don't know how that "last word" part could escape me. I'll also change the article again and all the links. Sorry for all the confusion and thanks again for talking to me about the issue and not quietly reverting my edits or getting pissed about it. Regards, HarryCane 17:05, 24 June 2006 (UTC)Reply


Paramus, New Jersey edit

No objection to using "Popular Culture" in lieu of "Trivia" or "Television" in the Paramus, New Jersey article. I had thought that Television was not only inaccurate in this case, but promoted unneeded spawning of additional sections for any new facts. It's always a pleasure to cross paths with you.

OK, I made the change. Thanks for pointing out the television vs. movie thing, that was sloppiness on my part. It's always a pleasure to work with you too. Regards, Accurizer 19:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

JMSDF edit

Well if it is to stop double-entries then fair enough. Will you be changing pages so that they all appear in just one category? And why is it that it got to the stage where they started appearing in two categories? John Smith's 21:28, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi, thanks for your response. Articles can appear in more than one category. The problem with this particular category is that it became unuseful because of the numerous multiple entries. I think this happened when subcategories were created but the articles were not sorted accordingly. Thanks again. Accurizer 23:10, 28 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

RfA thanks edit

Thank you very much for your support for my recent RfA, which I'm quite happy to announce has passed with a consensus of 67 supporting, 0 opposed and 0 neutral. I'm glad I meet your criteria. Most of all, I'm glad you took the time to evaluate my candidacy, as I believe that's what keeps RfA running smoothly, and I'll be working hard to justify the vote of confidence you've placed in me. Please let me know at my talk page if I can assist you with any admin-related tasks, or just if you have any comments on my performance as an admin. Thanks! TheProject 02:28, 1 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Institute of Business Studies & Research edit

I did some cleanup work on Institute of Business Studies & Research, and I would appreciate any comments you might have on it since you placed the cleanup tag on the article. I removed much of the material in the article as non-encyclpedic and tried to make it look more like a wikipedia article. I'm not sure if it was right of me to remove all of the material I did, but it did not seem relevant to an encyclopedia article.

Thank you for any comments and your time.--Dekkanar 01:41, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Hi Dekkanar, thanks for taking the time to cleanup this article. I made a few minor typographical corrections, but otherwise it seems fine to me. Thanks again. Regards, Accurizer 13:20, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
Thanks for looking over this for me.--Dekkanar 13:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

User:Gvvernol edit

Hi Accurizer, thanks for spotting that. i'll keep an eye on the account. Much appreciated, Gwernol 20:57, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Claire Adams edit

No I cant upload picture of claire adams. What have you done. Thanx very much for getting rid of image which took me so long to find. Perhaps in future you could come to agreement before acting unilaterally. Are you pleased with yourself? Joan Gos 04:00, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Don't worry, the image is still there; it's not deleted. I'll go about seeing how to move it. In the future please try to be careful not to replace an existing image when you are uploading a new image and this problem will be avoided. In any event, thanks for your contributions. Regards, Accurizer 13:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)Reply
