Re: comment on Sleepyhead81's talk page

Thanks for improving the Cit/UX page! I agree, it is much more neutral now. Whether it makes a difference in the delete vote depends on what sort of consensus we get on the vote -- it's not any one person's decision. Right now it looks to me as if there is no consensus either way, which would probably mean no deletion -- but I am not an admin, so don't quote me on it... -- ManekiNeko | Talk 00:14, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Edit-warring

Stop edit-warring over the article OSUNY, and please stop it now. Do not make any further edits to the page without first reaching a compromise on the related talk page. You are both already in violation of Wikipedia's three-revert-rule, so please, try to reach an accommodation instead of repeatedly trying to force "your version" of the article. Thanks. --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 01:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

The rationale behind the "compromise" version of the page has been amended to Talk:OSUNY with an inquiry about why the anonymous poster feels it is not objective. Art Cancro 01:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

At this time the dispute has been resolved, if not amicably, at least to the point of removing the disputed topic altogether and stating neither side of the story. Art Cancro 02:44, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

Mediation may indeed be the best way to proceed, then. Thank-you both for stopping the constant reverting, at any rate, and for keeping the conversation going on the talk page. Hopefully you can find some common ground. Cheers. --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 04:00, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

NYIIX

A tag has been placed on NYIIX, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 72.75.73.158 22:56, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Other IX's have Wikipedia articles. I was happy to contribute an article on an IX that I knew about but didn't see listed. I have no motivation to argue about it either way. If the Wikipedia mob mentality groupthink machine thinks it ought to be deleted, then go ahead and delete it. It doesn't matter to me either way. Art Cancro 14:54, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
