Concerning CAT:PNT

Thanks for the help offered; I just finished 2 bits, by deleting one as copyvio, and translating the other. As implied, I've been watching the cat for some time now, but tried to first tidy up the project-page; btw, do you have any idea for a location for the Berlin-meetup (as the discussion seems to have died down)? Lectonar 12:45, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

The project page was in rather bad condition due to real life / wikibreak issues on my side. Thank you for working on it! I've done some CAT:PNTs already. For the organization of the Berlin meetup, I won't be much help: just pick a cafe/pub you like and we'll go there... Kusma (討論) 13:03, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Workingforchange

Why did you delete the Workingforchange page? —vivacissamamente 03:40, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

It had been proposed for deletion under the WP:PROD process for five days, and nobody objected to its deletion. If you object to the deletion, I will restore the page and start a deletion discussion at WP:AFD instead. Just drop a note here if you want me to do that. Kusma (討論) 12:50, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Well, I had a link to it, and I found it was gone, and I can't remember what was on it. I don't feel confident enough about its content to object to its deletion on AfD, but do you know why it was deleted? Usually an objection answers a proposal, and I don't know what the proposal would say. —vivacissamamente 15:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

It was "an online journal of progressive news and opinion published by Working Assets" at workingforchange.com. The article was rather short, partly written in first person and read like advertising (or copyvio). Not much lost in the deletion. Sorry for not taking care of the links. Kusma (討論) 17:49, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

DNC Corp Speedy vs PROD

Hi Kusma - can you check out [the deletion log] under a different capitalisation - tried to put this in a {db-reason} but was too tired to get it to work properly. I'm happy with a Prod process but think a speedy is more appropriate - Peripitus (Talk) 06:42, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the link! The page was not a recreation after deletion, but made at approximately the same time, so I chose to not handle this as a contested prod (the original deletion was by prod) but just speedily deleted it. Kusma (討論) 12:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

You've got a Thank you card!

Open your card!

Dear Kusma, thank you so much for your beautiful words, your kidness and your trust in me. My Request for Adminship is finally over, and the support and appreciation that the community has gifted me will stick in my mind as long as I live. I have no way to properly express how grateful I am to you for all you've done for me, and all I can tell you is, I'll try not to disappoint you nor anyone else with my use of the buttons... and if I mess up, make sure to come here and give me a good yell! :) Seriously, tho, if you ever need my help, either for admin-related stuff or in any other way, you'll always be welcome to message me, and I promise I'll try my very best.
Dear Kusma, this is the perfect opportunity to finally speak to one another after reading your words for months and months. I am sure that we'll be able to talk often, and trust me, it'd be my pleasure. Both your contributions and, most important your warm way to deal with others made me notice you long, long ago; and being supported by a person I look up to, like you, meant the world to me. I sincerely hope this is but the beginning of a friendship, and such thought fills me with joy :) Please take good care, and ttyl! With a big hug, your friend,

Phaedriel ♥ tell me

August Schell Brewing Company

You speedily deleted August Schell Brewing Company, which was perfectly reasonable under the circumstances, but I think the article can be salvaged. Could you please undelete August Schell Brewing Company and add the following lines to it:

{{beer-stub}} [[Category:Beer and breweries in the United States]] [[Category:Companies based in Minnesota]]

and then someone (probably me) can complete the article. Thanks. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 08:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

That would still be speediable under WP:CSD#A1 or WP:CSD#A3. However, I agree with you that we should have an article on August Schell, but it should be one with sufficient context and content (which should be presented as text, not just as a category link). Undeleting the external link won't help much, so I might just write the article if you don't do it first. Happy editing, Kusma (討論) 08:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Okay, I have just written a stub. While I have tried their Pilsner and possibly also the Hefeweizen, I couldn't write anything intelligent about them, though... Kusma (討論) 08:54, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank You

Sorry I pressed the wrong button on the Fred Spiksley article, thanks for clearing it up, I have now posted the full entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dsims209 (talk • contribs) 13:24, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

non-admins removing speedies

Then that makes them barely anymore useful than prod if anyone can just remove them. I thought part of the point of a speedy is to get an admin to look at the page.--Crossmr 14:29, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Tony Blair is an extreme example. On the other hand, Bob the Pig Farmer isn't. Sockpuppetry would be a rather obvious way to get around this and prevent speedy of any article. It probably doesn't happen too much, but I do like to look at processes critically for the potential for abuse or gaming the system.--Crossmr 14:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: Enrico Kühn - Diacritics and page moves

Hi! Recently several editors, including yourself, have reverted edits by User:Gene Nygaard which moved pages to diacriticless titles, or expressed concern at the moves on his talk page. Despite this, Gene has carried on making many moves of this type, some of which will require admin work to revert - this behaviour is becoming disruptive, and is reducing consistency in article naming schemes. Further comments, suggestions and opinions would be welcome either at User talk:Gene Nygaard or at the section started by Renata3 at WP:AN/I. I believe this may require a report at RfM - please let me know if you think this would be a suitable action or otherwise. Aquilina 16:58, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

unblock request

I'm kind of disappointed that you have unblocked the user 4m33s. He was banned for being a possible threat to the encyclopedia, since King of Hearts felt that it was likely that he was a vandal. While that assumption might seem a little overdone to you and me, King of Hearts could have had damn good reasons for it. A reason, which both you and I looked past.

I had already left a note at his talkpage where I asked for explanation, in order for him to clarify why this user was a potential danger to Wikipedia. If I can drop a suggestion here; perhaps...it's best not to jump to conclusions?—♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 12:43, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

From the messages King of Hearts left, I assumed it was a username block, for which I could see no reason, and the user appeared to be a possibly useful contributor. Also, I understood the messages KoH left as to allow any admin to unblock the account if the admin is satisfied with the user's explanation. Well, I was satisfied, and I unblocked. Kusma (討論) 12:50, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Ok. I'm satisfied ;) —♦♦ SʘʘTHING^(Я) 07:10, 16 August 2006 (UTC)

WCategory

Guten Tag.

Ich habe ihr "proposal" für die WCategory auf die "village Pump" gelesen. Und bin ich ganz anverstanden mit Sie weil ich habe auch die selbst "proposal" auf die französich "Village pump" (hier auf "le bistro") gemacht. Das war "WCatégorie" weil es absolut kein Ornung auf die französich Version mit die Kategorie für Wikipedia projekt gibt (zum beispiel, in der Catégorie:Wikipédia, wir haben die artikel Wikipédia und Catégorie:Portail :S) Ich habe auch ein Message auf Englisch auf Meta gepostiert (da aber keine Antwort für die Moment :/). Ich möchte diese neue WCatégorie in alle Sprachen Wikipedia haben aber ich weiss nicht für die Moment wie kann ich es kriegen. Danke für ihre Antwort. 16@r 23:26, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

You write in German, English, and French, that's impressive :-) Malheureusement ma connaissance de Français ne suffit pas pour contribuer beaucoup en Français. Anyway, back to the topic: You might ask at WP:VPT or file a feature request at bugzilla:. You probably need one test wiki that wants the new namespace first so people will see that it works. As I wrote on the VP, I am not convinced this is necessary, but it might be better than some of the alternatives (deletion of maintenance or user categories/ templates). Hope that helps a bit, Kusma (討論) 14:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Willy on Wheels deletion

Since you deleted the Willy on Wheels page after it was reposted. I was wondering if you could delete its shortcuts WP:WoW, WP:WOW and the orphaned subpages Wikipedia_talk:Long_term_abuse/Willy_on_Wheels/archive1 and Wikipedia_talk:Long_term_abuse/Willy_on_Wheels/archive2. 195.188.152.12 09:52, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

I am not certain about the deletion of the talk archives, but have deleted the shortcuts. Kusma (討論) 09:57, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

The archive pages are orphaned pages since the main talk page has been deleted. CSD G8 states that archives can be deleted if the main page was deleted. Plus we should delete them to stop vandals looking at their history per WP:DENY. Also two more shortcuts Wikipedia:Willy on Wheels and WP:ViP/WoW. 195.188.152.12 10:15, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

WP:DENY should not be used, I see those Long term abuse pages as the online equivalent of being placed in the stocks... humiliation rather than glorification of vandals. --86.134.56.248 10:53, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Consider the long term abuse pages the public pillory for Willy and vandals. --86.134.56.248 11:01, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
