Nitrous

Do you care to explain why you are doing reverts to blatant spam? Do you have a beef with someone or are you here for personal gains? Groovygeeks appears to own a new nitrous company, whya re you reverting to their edits where they removed and spammed the page. He removed an established long time company who is a manufacturer where he is not. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.12.116.10 (talk • contribs) .

I reverted the edits because they replaced links that were already in the article. I'll just remove the entire section, as they're all commercial linkspam. Naconkantari 14:51, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

I believe you misunderstood the edits, that had already been fixed, you wound up removing the correct long standing links that were put back due to the spam and vandalism from groovygeeks, I watch this page quite a bit —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.12.116.10 (talk • contribs) .

Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising. None of the links belong in the article because they go to commercial websites. Naconkantari 14:58, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

That page has been fine with no issues for 6 months. While something may not be a vehicle, they are useful links that explain and offer the exact topic of that page and they are all releveant links, you need to reconsider what you are doing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 64.12.116.10 (talk • contribs) .

IP 64.235.102.2 blocked for vandalism

Naconkantari, please change your block of User talk:64.235.102.2 to be at least 1 week, as requested by the school board to which this high school belongs. I've documented the request on the IP's talk page. Thanks! --Stéphane Charette 18:14, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

La'o Hamutuk deleted. Why?

I'm fairly new to writing for Wikipedia, and wrote an article La'o Hamutuk about an organization in East Timor a couple of weeks ago. Now I find that you have deleted it, but I don't know why. What was wrong with it -- and how can it be fixed and restored? Thank you. Cscheiner 00:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Please see WP:PROD for more details. Naconkantari 00:53, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

Cory Lidle

Can you explain what you consider POV in this passage?

"Possibly his most memorable achievement on the mound was as a starting pitcher for the Oakland Athletics in August 2002, when his 32 2/3-inning scoreless streak and one earned run for the month helped the A's win an AL-record 20 games in a row."

Thank you. ~ trialsanderrors 21:38, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

"Possibly his most memorable". Memorable to whom? Naconkantari 21:39, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

This doesn't warrant removal of the whole passage, which is easily sourceable (and I'm looking for the best source right now). ~ trialsanderrors 21:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

As the article is rapidly changing, please leave it out until it is sourced. Naconkantari 21:42, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

don't make me laugh. The article has all of three sources total. ~ trialsanderrors 21:45, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Laurentdion / Yakusudo conduct

I noticed that you had edited these user pages to revert some offensive comment. Yakusudo is a sockpuppet of Laurentdion, who also edits anonymously, and has since the early summer, been in a conflict with me and other users over deletion of an article about a work of art of his named Earthman. He had gone on a tear for a while after this deletion review didn't go the way he wanted it to, which wasn't helped by his offensive conduct during the process, demanding that his username be expunged from Wikipedia, and going so far as to edit a number of userpages to remove legitimate contect that noted his user identity: User:Bucketsofg, and User:Wildthing61476 as well as myself were the most frequent victims. Laurentdion had gone away for a while but popped up in the last couple of days to restart his odd campaign. I bought this up on this admin noticeboard page, and also here, and would appreciate your input. Richardjames444 16:27, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

User:Balloonguy

Nacokantari, a couple of months ago you blocked User:Balloonguy on suspicion that he was a sockpuppet. Who did you suspect him of being? Jayjg ^(talk) 17:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Probably Mascotguy. Naconkantari 21:52, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

Is that User:Mascotguy, or someone else? Jayjg ^(talk) 16:31, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

Laurentdion/Yakusudo

I noticed that you just got visited and vandalized. Dion emailed me the copy that he posted here, although mine was a more complete version. I posted it on the Admin noticeboard: here or here I would really like some action taken in this matter. It's getting unhinged and weird, especially as the whole thing had been buried for months until the last couple of days, and is now much more extreme than it ever was previously when the actual issue was taking place. Richardjames444 17:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for those reverts. Is there any way you can delete the edits from the history? (especially on the talk pages that hardly have any in the first place) Thanks again. —Khoikhoi 14:30, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Please don't remove comments from my talk page

I'm smart enough to recognize vote-stacking when I see it, and I can act appropriately without your "help". Additionally, you removed comments by the same party about an unrelated matter from the page, which would have been a serious inconvenience to me if I hadn't already seen them. -Hit bull, win steak^(Moo!) 14:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

JennyCanuck

• Hey there, thanks for taking care of JennyCanuck and the IP User:67.71.85.145. Just so you're aware, it's pretty clear that JennyCanuck is more than just a username vio, the fact that his first and only edits were to the Hockey Hall of Fame and Vaughan Election make it pretty clear that it's JohhnyCanuck. If the IP is in fact JennyCanuck not logged in, it should probably be indef blocked to per WP:SOCK. Though i'm still crossing my fingers that it's all a big mistake and he's not coming back... (/wishful thinking). -- Chabuk 16:40, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

You can probably add User:67.70.148.23 to that list as well. Note the same IP range and identical edit as the user's only edit. Again violating WP:SOCK. -- Chabuk 17:29, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Moe

Oh please. I just now responded to you on your talk page. You didn't give me but 1 minute to respond. — Moe 20:17, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

This is a blockable offense, regardless of what he did. Naconkantari 20:19, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

To ask for proof is a blockable offense? I've never seen anyone blocked for it. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:32, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm referring to the edit summary. Naconkantari 20:34, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

The edit summary may not have been civil, but Moe made false statements about me and refuses to accept that what he said was false. I don't let people make up stuff about me, especially negative stuff. - A Link to the Past (talk) 20:42, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

I never made up anything about you, just leave me alone already. — Moe 20:46, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Andy Stephenson article

I see that you were the closing administrator for the Andy Stephenson article, and you deleted it. Is an administrator assigned an article for closing review or did you choose to be the one? And how did you arrive at the decision that the article did not reach WP:BIO? I understand that it is not a vote, but ignoring SPAs I count 20 for keep and 25 for deletion. How is it determined that a consensus for deletion is achieved? As for notability, the subject had multiple mainstream media coverage of his work on black box voting as I mentioned 07:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC): He is in an HBO movie, there were 3 articles cited from the Seattle Weekly and other west coast publications, he is in articles cited from the New York Times, the Washington Post and The Guardian (London),plus a story on Fox News. Several of these mention his national campaign for voter verified paper trails and his Secretary of State candidacy. Many Wikipedia bio articles have far less national or international coverage of notability. So please advise me as to how he failed WP:BIO. Also, many of those favoring deletion suggested that any mention of him be in the Black Box Voting article. How do I get a copy of the deleted article to use the references in improving the Blavk Box Voting article? Thank you for your efforts to improve Wikipedia.Edison 07:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I also am inquiring as to your reasoning, as per Edison above, and timing as well. Mr. Stephenson will be featured in an HBO documentary which debuts Nov 2. Wouldn't it be prudent to see how much more notability this garners for the subject? Were you aware that this specific article was 'targeted' by a group of POV deletionists who many feel are motivated solely by politics? 911 Cruft Squad What's the next step in appealing this process? Thanks. NBGPWS 08:03, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I also came here to ask about the closing of the AfD. Many of the arguments made by Edison and NBGPWS address the merits of the deletion and are immaterial to the task of the closing admin. Also immaterial, however, is the closing admin's view of the applicability of WP:BIO. You appear to have based the deletion on your personal view rather than on your assessment of whether there was a consensus to delete. Would you please give your calculation as to how many non-sock, non-SPA Wikipedians supported deletion, and how many opposed it? Thank you. JamesMLane t c 08:36, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• No disrespect intended, but I don't believe it's appropriate to say that the community reached a consensus in that discussion. It's unfortunate that partisans on both sides resorted to campaigning on other sites to draw "votes" to their cause, but even among the good-faith editors who discussed it I believe there was no consensus. I have therefore requested a deletion review. VoiceOfReason 09:47, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

• I concur, no consensus was reached whatsoever. I would like to ask that you revisit your decision. BenBurch 21:02, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

I found that delete was the right choice concerning the article. I see that someone has opened up a DRV which is the correct thing to do if there is a dispute regarding the closing of the AFD. Naconkantari 21:06, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:UW

Hi Naconkantari,

I see looking at the WikiProject user warnings page, that you are a participant in this project. I have recently started an undertaking to harmonise all user page warnings and templates. For this I would like your assistance. I have listed a number of ideas on the project template page here as a first draft. I fully appreciate that as with most editors and admins, that you are fairly busy. Therefore I am not looking for anyone to carry out the actual work, I am willing to do that myself, with help from a number of other RC Patrollers who have come forward. But what I am looking for is your invaluable input, on the draft ideas and also to suggest other ways you believe we may improve the templates. I do however require the services of a couple of administrators to put into effect some of the new templates, as they are currently protected. Please take 5 mins to look through the new templates page, and both the project and templates talk pages and leave any ideas or suggestions that you may have. Best regards Khukri ^{(talk . contribs)} 09:54, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Deletion rationale for Michael Rivero

I see that you are Wikibreak, I hope it's for fun reasons, and not stress/work-related ones. In any case, I was hoping you could explain what reasoning you used to delete the Michael Rivero page? You did not explain the decision on the page and no consensus was reached on notability. ]][2] Thanks. Tiamut 20:20, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I found a final count of 20 for deletion and 6 keeps, discounting "weak keeps/weak deletes", which is, to me, consensus. If you feel that I improperly closed the AFD, you can visit WP:DRV. Thanks Naconkantari 21:55, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

'awardspace.com' is a free webhosting service. The typical website name is 'mypage.awardspace.com'.

(03-11-06) Thank you.Nikos papadopoulos 18:25, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

I've replied on the m:Talk:Spam blacklist. "awardspace.com" has many subdomains that are used by spammers. Naconkantari 18:27, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

clarification please

Naconkantari, throughout the arbitration of the Kosovo case this sentence has been in the introduction without challenge: "International negotiations began in 2006 to determine the final status of Kosovo; it is widely expected that the talks will lead to some form of independence." This is an entirely accurate sentence. A review of statements from the UN, EU, US State Department, the International Crisis Group, and international media will substantiate this statement. This statement was edited out of the introduction a few days ago without substantiation. I restored the original version. How is my restoring a statement that has been in the introduction for months disruptive editing? I believe a closer consideration of my editing will lead to the conclusion that my being blocked is uncalled for.

Please clarify how my edits are disruptive? What am I disrupting?

Thank you for taking the time to consider my inquiry. Fairview360 22:13, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

The arbcom resolution, in my opinion, didn't focus on the correctness of you views, but the method in which the editors continually introduce them into the article. I'd suggest that you talk about any future changes on the talk page and consider adhering to the WP:1RR. Naconkantari 22:18, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Lostpedia AfD

In case you don't already know, I thought you should be aware that accusations are being made about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Lostpedia (second nomination) and your judgement in closing it (and not in a place where it's particularly on-topic, or where the participants of the AfD would be likely to see it).

There is no need for that many companies to be listed. Please do not spam anymore. Naconkantari 21:32, 5 November 2006 (UTC)

People would like to know some of the well known companies, and it isn't spam if we mention companies. It is spam if there were commercial links.

November Esperanza Newsletter

Program Feature: Admin Coaching (needs coaches!) Admin Coaching needs coaches!!! If you are an administrator, or even a generally experienced user, do consider signing up to be a coach. Admin Coaching, now being coordinated by HighwayCello, is a program for people who want help learning some of the more subtle aspects of Wikipedia policy and culture. People are matched with experienced users who are willing to offer coaching. The program is designed for people who have figured out the basics of editing articles; they're not newcomers any more, but they might want some help in learning new roles. In this way, Esperanza would help keep hope alive for Wikipedia because we would always be grooming the next generation of admins. What's New? The Tutorial Drive is a new Esperanza program! In an effort to make complicated processes on Wikipedia easier for everyone, Esperanza working to create and compile a list of tutorials about processes here on Wikipedia. Consider writing one! A discussion on how Esperanza relates to the encyclopedia has been started; please add your thoughts. Many thanks to MiszaBot, courtesy of Misza13, for delivering the newsletter.

The last AC meeting (full log) The list of proposed programs has been updated, with some proposals being archived. There is now a new program: the Tutorial Drive! Consider writing a tutorial on something you are good at doing on Wikipedia. The suggestion of adding a cohesive look to all the Esperanza pages is being considered; join the discussion if you are interested! In order to make a useful interlanguage welcome template, those involved in translation projects will be asked what English Wikipedia policies are most important and confusing to editors coming from other language Wikipedias. A discussion of Esperanza's role in Wikipedia is being held, with all thoughts of all Esperanzians wanted! Shreshth91 informed everyone that he will be leaving the Esperanza council as life is rather busy; his spot will be filled by the runner up from the last election, HighwayCello. Signed... Natalya, Banes, Celestianpower, EWS23, FireFox, The Halo, Shreshth91 and HighwayCello 20:33, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Although having the newsletter appear on everyone's userpage is desired, this may not be ideal for everyone. If, in the future, you wish to receive a link to the newsletter, rather than the newsletter itself, you may add yourself to Wikipedia:Esperanza/Newsletter/Opt Out List.

Spamming??

Not exactly spamming, call it mass mailing, or writing an open-letter. I've got a message, not just advertissement. I'm pasting an essay I wrote on the deletion of the Clock Crew page, on the talk page of everybody who voted to delete it. That's not spamming. You can view it a few of their pages now if you like. I'm not sure if this is against the rules or not - but I'm assuming it's allowed.--Mofomojo 03:32, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

WikiFur AfD

I noticed you closed this as delete. It doesn't seem to me as if consensus was reached, though -- I'm counting 10 keeps to 13 deletes, with the main issue being whether the wiki is notable. I realize it's not a vote, but I was wondering what prompted you to decide in favor of deletion rather than no consensus (defaulting to keep). It doesn't seem to me that it's less noteworthy than Lostpedia (which I believe you were also involved in) or Memory Alpha, although the article is (or was, I suppose) less well-written than either of those. Shimeru 00:31, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

I found after reviewing the discussion, there was a stronger consensus to delete than keep. If you feel I didn't follow policy, you can make a request at WP:DRV. Naconkantari 00:35, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply. Not sure that's a worthwhile step to take, though, as I don't have the experience (or, really, the interest) to improve the article myself, and a simple undeletion wouldn't address those concerns.

Just wondering...

A while ago (sometime near the end of October) you blocked me for about an hour on the ground that I was spamming. Do you happen to remember just what I was spamming? You sentenced me with a generic block box, so I'm not sure what exactly I was doing wrong. Sharkface217 02:50, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

You were spamming barnstars to talk pages, including some article talk [4], [5], which led me to believe you were targeting random pages for editing. Naconkantari 05:28, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion reason

Hello! I notice from a glance at the deletion log that you have been speedy deleting pages with the reason "(speedy deletion request approved, admins can see history for reason)". Although I have not written anything that was speedied, I don't think such a deletion reason is helpful to the writer of the article if he wants to know how to improve the page so that it will not be deleted (some of these speedies are poorly written articles on legitimate, notable topics). Regards, Kavadi carrier 07:12, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I was trying to be helpful and clear out the category in an efficient manner. If anyone had problems with their deletion, they can read Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? or make a note here. Naconkantari 07:38, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a comment, giving a reason when something is deleted, is something I prefer to see. Not just for whoever started and/or edited the article, but also for future reference. It's not uncommon that previously deleted pages get re-created, and being able to see why they were deleted in the first place is very handy. --Lijnema 12:31, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Mayura Draw

Hi! Ok so speedy deletion is really fast. Don't leave the internet for some hours to sleep as your article will be gone when you wake up. I really would have liked to have some days time. I do have a life beside the internet. Some detailed reasons on what to change would have helped. From what I gather a software stub is easily in great danger of being considered as advertisement, especially if it is not broadly used. Did the listing of some features raise that danger? As Mayura Draw is just a normal vector based drawing tool, with no very unique feature or important history, at least that I know of at the moment, the chances of getting an article of it's own aren't great. Hmmmm. So you only except articles on animals that have something speciall? No chances for some dull creature that doesn't boast something exciting about it or at least is of some generall interest. Sigh. Well you could at least have put some note on my talk page so I would have known whom to complain to. Some respond on the reasons on the article-talkpage would have been helpfull - oops that was deleted - oh well on my talk page then. --T.woelk 09:27, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

It was deleted under citerion G11, which is: Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Note that simply having a company, product, group or service as its subject does not qualify an article for this criterion: an article that is blatant advertising should have inappropriate content as well. If a page has previously gone through deletion process and was not deleted, it should not be speedily deleted under this criterion. Please see Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? for more details.

Rollback use question

Hello. Could you please explain your use of rollback on the following edit[6]. It seems to me to be a valid wikilink, at the very worst slightly mistargetted (as Australian_English would be the ideal here) but looks nothing like vandalism. While I understand that chicken was being vandalised at the time, it appears that this user (who did not vandalise) received a {{test4}} warning from another user, and it's possible that your rollback of their non-vandal edit may have added to the confusion, as others may assume that since rollback should only used for vandalism, implies anything rolled back is automaticaly vandalism. I have also raised this matter with the person who also issued final warnings to other non-vandalising users - with very inapproiate edit summaries too :( - but am also bringing it to your attention. I do understand that it's easy to accidently use rollback in non-vandalism cases when the article is being vandalised at the same time, but at this case shows, it's not only that it looks bad for a good faith edit to be reverted without explaination, but it may also lead to other users getting the wrong impression too, so, before reaching for the rollback button, please make sure it is vandalism and not something else. Regards, MartinRe 13:28, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry about that. The chicken article has been experiencing quite a lot of vandalism recently. I'll leave a note on their talk page. Naconkantari 14:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

No worries, mistakes happen and an occasional incorrect rollback isn't the end of the world! :) I'm more concerned with ChrisGriswold's warnings though, jumping straight in with a final warning for a first offence, (and giving these warnings to good users with impolite edit summaries) I've droped a note on his page, hopefully he'll retract the warnings and let the users in question know. Regards, MartinRe 14:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

User:Snowolfd4

I see you blocked Snowolfd4 for making death threats. Is that the same user as User:208.101.4.34? I just blocked that IP for making a death threat ([7]) and signing the post as Snowolfd4. --cholmes75 ^{(chit chat)} 17:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

I have requested a checkuser to see if that is the case. Naconkantari 17:43, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

You should think twice before block him because Sudharsansn and his company(NCSLC) is always having edit wars with Snowolfd4. So this can be a trap that set up against Snowolfd4 by NCSLC. ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  ^(Ŧ) 18:33, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

This what Sudharsansn’s buddy Sechzehn did to me. He tried to hook me up for this incident.[8] [9].  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  ^(Ŧ) 19:19, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

It is not clear whether Lahiru_k is innocent in all of this. These series of vandalisms occurred, after I had given a civility warning to Lahiru for having offensive user boxes [10]. In particular he had a userbox that said "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Wikipedia" and directed personal attack against me saying that I didn't have common sense on another wikipedia article [11]. Once I raised this offensive userbox and the incident, Lahiru's response was the following [12]. He had claimed to be busy after this point and refused to do anything about the complaint till Dec. 4th.

Noting that the image in the userbox is a copyright violation [13], I had applied for speedy removal of the template and the template was removed. User Lahiru silently removed references to this offensive userbox today I believe, after the template had been removed by the authorities [14]. At the same time Sudharsansn and Sechzehn also intervened to get this offensive userbox removed and this is when the threatening posts directed at Sudharsansn and the Neutral Coverage of the Sri Lankan Crisis wikiproject members started appearing. In particular, Sudharsan had notified me of the threatening userbox template on Lahiru's page. These appear to be the version vandalized by the IP [15],[16] . However in both cases Lahiru did do the right thing and revert to original version of template (that was not threatening). Elalan 22:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

1] Yes, I made a user box called "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Wikipedia". LTTE none other than one of the most barbaric terrorist group that exist in the world and banned by many governments of the countries in the world (E.g. USA, Canada, Britain etc.). So LTTE is certainly not another RACE in Sri Lanka. Therefore, very clearly, I do not become a racist by standing against a Terrorist Group. May be due to the lack of knowledge about LTTE, one of the fellow wikipedians of Elalan had addressed me a racist [17]. In the civilised world, supporting for murderous activities is just the same as committing murders. It simply apllies for terrorism as well. Those whom the Hat fits to, can always wear it. Therefore, I do not see the userbox "This user opposes LTTE supporters on Wikipedia" as a personal attack on anyone.

2] Yes, I also said that the common sense is uncommon to Elalan and I here by accept I did so and apologize from him. I here by also say, nothing of the sort would not happen again from me.

3] Yes, I am extremely busy until the 4th of December, and this is NOT a cowardly act as it has been appeared to some users. I have already informed this user that I will continually check my watchlist[18], and this is where I noticed this discussion going on and returned here.

4] I am not involved in the copyright violation of the image used in the userbox. I found it from the history page of the LTTE article. I am also prepared to provide evidence on this on request by anyone.

5] There is also no need of asking for permission from anyone in order to delete anything from my own user page and this includes changing my userboxes too.

6] I oppose any kind of terrorism in the world including LTTE and therefore I am not a racist. You can furthur confirm this fact by simply going through my contributions list[19]. But I doubt if there is any neutrality in the wikiproject Neutral Coverage of the Sri Lankan Crisis due to the comment made by the founder of the project Sudharsansn as he has commented badly regarding ethnic group sinhala[20]. Please do a checkuser on me if you feel still suspect me on that threatening userbox template incident that appeared on my userpage created by some IP user. I don't mind at all. If there is anything you want to ask regarding this mattter, do feel free to ask me anytime. Happy Editing!!!  ♪♫ĽąĦĩŘǔ_Қ♫♪  ^(Ŧ) 06:47, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Lahiru, just because some other wikipedian blurted something, whats that got to do with me ? You seem to imply there is some connection between User:Donnyt and myself. Other than the fact that we are both Tamil, I am not so sure there is a connection. I think you statement highlights anger at Tamil wikipedians (because you are linking me to Donnyt's remarks). The image you used was the donkey character from Shrek. Some of your post are hardly neutral and show extreme POV that is not academic [[21]]. Regarding copyright violations, that authorities have indeed decided that the 'logo' you used was copyright violation and have deleted it. You can't be espousing hatred or opposition of other wikipedians even in your own user space and again the authorities agreed with me and have deleted your template. If you link Tamil people together in negative light (as you just have with me and Donnyt), then off course you are not going to find the wikiproject neutral in your POV. Sudharsansn didn't direct any statements at Sinhala people in general, if your read the statement carefully he was merely against these userboxes that espoused opposition/hatred at fellow wikipedians.

Having happened upon this article whilst perusing Category:Candidates for speedy deletion, I was preparing to remove the {{db-nonsense}} tag—the article was not patent nonsense within the meaning of G1 even if it was plainly that which one would, in the course of normal conversation, term as nonsensical—and to replace it with {{db-bio}} when the page was deleted. I was altogether prepared to write the deleting admin apropos of why G1 did not apply [in furtherance of my abiding quest to curtail its overbroad usage (for reasons outlined, inter al., here)] when I saw you'd provided–quite properly–A7 as the reason for deletion.

Skyscraper deletions

Hi there. Calton (talk • contribs • count) nominated quite a number of stubs on unfinished skyscrapers for speedy deletion, and you deleted some of them. They were subsequently recreated by Zonk43 (talk • contribs • count), and then re-tagged. At this point they came to my attention, and I decided not to delete them and to remove the tags instead. It is my view that the CSD are being used here as part of a content dispute over whether the buildings are sufficiently notable, and that it is best to let their potential deletion be handled through a process with more community input, like AfD. Any thoughts? -- SCZenz 01:13, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Can you please discuss this issue before you assist Carlton any further with his effort to delete tall building stubs? They clearly do not fit WP:CSD#A1, which is quite clear on the point that little content is not the same as little context. -- SCZenz 05:19, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Hi, since I see you're active on your talk page, can I ask again if you intend to discuss this issue? -- SCZenz 06:36, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

If you feel an article was wrongly deleted, please use WP:DRV. Naconkantari 06:38, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Or I can just undelete it, because you clearly misapplied CSD A1. Unless, of course, you'd like to talk about it? -- SCZenz 06:41, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't feel like it was misapplied. However, if you restore it, I won't delete it. Naconkantari 06:42, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand how you think those building articles fit CSD A1. The criterion is clear that "Limited content is not in itself a reason to delete if there is enough context for the article to qualify as a valid stub." The articles were short on content, but there was enough info there to expand them; A1, like all CSD, is only for real rubbish, and I'm honestly not sure the building articles are deletion worthy at all. Perhaps we should get guidance from WP:AN about how the community interprets the guidelines in this case? -- SCZenz 06:46, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

It appears that the deleted articles are being recreated. They may possibly have more detailed content, although I haven't checked; in any case, they look like ok enough stubs to me. I would ask that you consider carefully whether these short stubs really fit the text of WP:CSD#A1 before re-deleting any of them; the CSD are rigid for a reason, and should not be stretched. -- SCZenz 08:25, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with SCZenz. Seeing this discussion here, and having registered my opinion also on Calton's talk page before the deletions took place, I'm going ahead and restoring them for now. I also notice that the original author has been re-creating a few himself. Since there's been substantial disagreement among administrators whether A1 applies, I guess a group AfD would be the best thing if anybody really wants them deleted. For me, these are decent stubs.

Right to vanish, not to blank

The right-to-vanish specifically described deleting, and covers the user's talk page. It does not state "blank the page" as you keep doing.

• Jimbo's comment

Since this follows what is specifically allowed by m:Right to vanish and the English-language Wikipedia's guideline for user and talk pages, I've placed Wakemp's request back on his page. --Stéphane Charette 22:25, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Ventura printers

Dear Naconkantari,

Please could you restore the above mentioned stub article as it cannot be a G11 (blatant advertising): these companies disapeared about half a century ago.

The article complies with notability guidelines as it is about a dynasty of printers in Granada from the middle of the XIX century to the middle of the XX century: like locals Wikipedia in Granada a couple of centuries ago -:) . A Google will confirm that the books produced by these companies are mostly in national archive libraries.

As commented in the dicussion, I and others will develop the article.

Regards

Southern Fried Funk

I made a page called Southern Fried Funk and you erased it before i got a chance to finish it. You must have misunderstood the content of the page. The reason it comes off as nonsense is that it is not a real band. Southern Fried Funk is the focus of an indepedent film that is a satire of classic rock bands of the 70's and 80's. I did not get a chance to make it clear that Southern Fried Funk is a fictional band.

XBRL

As far as I understand, you have deleted the page about XBRL projects in the world. This is a non-for-profit approach, using the capacity of wikipedia. We have no problems to use other wiki approach, but I can not understand your problem with our initiative. Please see my mail to the XBRL community below.

Please confirm me where is the problem, in order to take the appropriate course of action.

Dear XBRL Project Manager,

Now that XBRL is gaining an increased profile around the world, there is a greater need for the XBRL community to disseminate as much material as possible on real projects that have been implemented, or that are in progress, around the world.

You will no doubt be aware that a number of different jurisdictions having much more information that the posted on their websites; there are number of suggestions to facilitate this process.

Firstly, most of the project details are gathered using a fixed form. It is preferable a more open and friendly mechanism for the variety of projects around the world.

Secondly, as this process with fixed form requires the use of an intermediary, it removes the project leader from the project details and there is no clear mechanism that allows the project details be easily updated by the project leader.

Thirdly, for people interested in XBRL projects, the necessity to search a multitude of web sites is counter-intuitive.

In general, the process does not take advantage of the more recent web-based information dissemination mechanisms.

Against that background, I would like you, as an XBRL project manager, to consider posting some relevant information on your project in wikipedia. The main goal is to create a catalog or repository of projects by country / region / supply chain, but also industry, academic or other projects and developments are welcomed.

Working in wikipedia is extremely simple. Please enter in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XBRL_Projects and then click in [edit], type your English text and press [save page]. As wikipedia is a multilingual, you can also include information in the equivalent page in your idiom. Please find some useful details here: http://fis.unab.edu.co/docentes/ecarrill/publico/xbrl_en/xbrl_projetcs_wiki.doc

By doing so you will be using a free format, will have full control over material, with easy and timely access for updating. This will result in this very useful information being easily accessible, in a flexible and easily followed format, by the growing number of people interested in XBRL.

There is already some XBRL project-related material available in wikipedia and I would urge you to share the details of your projects in this forum.

This is also a very good exercise when you consider fulfilling the project template located in the official http://www.xbrl.org/ProjectDetails website

We have try the Google search approach with limited success, and also the relatively little that exists in the official website is neither enough ample nor updated for our purposes, perhaps by the limitations of using fixed forms.

Between XBRL Spain and the University of Bucaramanga (Colombia) we have prepared such page in wikipedia to maintain a worldwide repository of XBRL projects. We are ready to help XBRL Project Managers wishing to put relevant information in wikipedia upon request. We are ready to watch that there are not acts of vandalism or problems in an open space like wikipedia and to take the opportune measures so that everything runs in a spirit of cooperation.

The Spanish XBRL Jurisdiction is looking for such information, to be disseminated in LatinAmerica after our translation to Spanish. Our business case is that we are preparing (now with urgency) a world-wide catalogue of XBRL projects, fulfilling a commitment to make a e-learning pilot course for selected stock exchange supervision staff in Latin America (governmental collaboration agreements). We will already take care to go to the website of each project and to make a Spanish translation of the relevant information. Evidently, although our deliverable is an XBRL catalogue in Spanish, with the projects that we do not know, little we could do.

Should you have any questions, please contact us. Your sincerely

Hello. I removed your page because it contained content copied from another website. This is not permitted. If you would like to recreate the page, please do so in your own words. Naconkantari 03:52, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Regarding the article "Sensei (the band)"

My band page for "Sensei" CLEARLY met rule 6 for musicians and ensembles regarding notability. This is totally uncalled for, and I demand an explanation. I worked hard on the page, and it demonstrated significance; other admins even saw it and agreed that it did. WHY did you delete it?

If you feel my deletion was in error, please file a request on WP:DRV Naconkantari 03:51, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Deletion query

I wish to know why my Bio was deleted? I really am a Magician and the information that was supplied was all factual. How can there be other performers listed but I cannot be included? Vapula666 12:41, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

You deleted The Shops at La Cantera at 03:24 on November 25, citing A7. Please restore and nominate it with Afd so it can go through a discussion. Thanks. Clipper471 15:55, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for blocking Simonapro! Addhoc 16:59, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Rik Waller

I was wondering if you could undelete Rik Waller, because he isn't an "unremarkable person" (his singing "skills" are unremarkable, but that's another story). If you search on http://www.everyhit.com/, you'll find that he has two UK top forty singles, one of which is a cover of "I Will Always Love You" that reached number six. I'd also consider being signed to a major label under a six-figure record deal a pretty strong assertion of notability. Thanks. Extraordinary Machine 17:42, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Angry German kid

Why the deletion of Angry German kid? It's not about the kid, it's about a well-known Internet meme. Simply tossing out "A7" is arbitrary. Thanks. 24.211.193.21 21:39, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Floodle free ebooks

Hi,

How is Floodle free ebooks any less spam that ebook-manaics.com. In fact, ebook-manaics.com is more comprehensive and by far more professional. I just need that clarification. --Y Dude 20:20, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

There are many spam links on that page. I noticed yours and removed it. Naconkantari 22:08, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Well, I would like to think that ebook-manaics.com is an asset. Many visitors believe that it truly is a fine alternative to paying approximately $5 for each of these eBooks when they are public domain. I do think that this link is a valuable one and would like you to review you decision regarding the removal of the link. Also let me know if there is another way to follow a process that adds the link to the page. --Y Dude 22:59, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

protection edit summaries

Hi Naconkantari, Can I ask that you make your protection edit summaries a bit more detailed? I can't figure out the location of the request you were responding to at Power Rangers: Operation Overdrive, especially as there have been no edits since unprotection. Thanks, BanyanTree 00:37, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

Oops

I think my browser blanked the edit box or something, I didn't mean to blank that page. aido2002 05:32, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

My Sensei page...

I understand the deletion review policy but I also understand that they state if an administrator finds the article worthy to be reinstated, they can do so themselves without enlisting the help of deletion reviewers. I would much rather deal with someone already familiar with the article, as well as someone who seems to be very fair and decisive (I've read your history a little bit).

Sensei (the band) is the article this is concerning - the deletion log is there, I don't know if that helps you with locating the article.

My article met rule 6 for notability of musicians and ensembles. Here is the rule for quick reference.

6. Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such.

Sensei member Dan McLintock was once a member of the Wikipedia acknowledged, notable band Craig's Brother (see former members: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craig%27s_brother#Former_Members). Both Sensei members Dan McLintock and Tim Grisnik are named as singer/bassist and drummer, respectively, in the article deemed notable for Wikipedia called Inspection 12. Their band was signed nationally and internationally and they have had "notable" success in their 12 years of existence; with two albums released by major labels Fat Wreck Chords and Takeover Records. Inspection 12 member Pete Mosely is also a member of the multi-platinum selling band Yellowcard.

Essentially, the Sensei (the band) page was created in an attempt to extend the histories of 3 notable Jacksonville, Florida figures who have ALREADY had immense success in other Wikipidia-deemed "notable" projects. I did not consider re-directs (as the rule suggests) due to the fact that both former bands are still currently active and provide valuable information to readers wishing to know their histories etc; however, there are mentions of Sensei on both pages. Considering the success both Dan McLintock and Tim Grisnik have already had, one can rest assured that there are internet users who long to read about their future endevours, just as they have showed interest in their past endevours. My article rests on no claim that the band will become famous and therefore deserves notability, it simply meets the qualification of rule 6 in having not one, but two already Wikipedia-deemed notable members.

I know you are very busy, and I understand your time is limited. But if there is anyway I can deal directly with you in reinstating my article, I would be very grateful. I believe I have successfully proved that it deserves to be here, and I anticipate your response. Thank you for your time, and have a wonderful day. :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.127.236.169 (talk • contribs)

Seems reasonable. I'll restore the article. Naconkantari 18:39, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Pirate Cat Radio is more like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_Radio_Santa_Cruz not http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KROQ . If I must remove links to the website that is fine. Can you please unlock the artical?

Please follow the directions at the top of the page that ask you to please leave new messages at the bottom of the page. If you feel I deleted an article in error, please use WP:DRV. Naconkantari 22:43, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Max cards

This really needs to go bye bye, it's become a feeding trough for sockpuppets and trolls. The author and/or his socks (8 sock posts on the AfD, others on the talk page) have repeatedly vandalized the AfD, created a hoax bio (Hal de Max) for the "creator" of "Max cards", and uploaded copyvio material (photoshopped screenshots of Windows Solitaire) to illustrate the article. The AfD has been up for 4 days and no one yet has supplied any verifiable references as to the existence of this "game". Tubezone 22:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

looking for feedback

Naconkantari, I have made three reverts on the Kosovo article today as a result of an ongoing give and take with Laughing Man. I will not make another revert today which keeps me within the 3R rule. However, I believe the Kosovo article is under a tighter leash. I am doing my best to explain my edits and have offered reasons on the discussion page. I believe the edit Laughing Man is pushing is simply inaccurate.

If I have transgressed the current rules governing the Kosovo article as a result of this give and take with Laughing Man, I will respond positively to a simple heads-up from any administrator. In fact, I would welcome feedback before needing a shot across the bow from an administrator.

When you get a chance, could you review recent edits at the Kosovo article and let me know if, in your opinion, I have transgressed. Thank you. Fairview360 23:50, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Right to Vanish

Could you please revert your edit? That account no longer exists and I use my m:Right to Vanish: "Change references to your former username to be references to your replacement username (you can do this yourself)." Thanks. -- Zacheus 00:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Please don't modify any archives that are not yours. If you have any concerns, please bring them up on WP:ANI. Naconkantari 00:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC) Naconkantari 00:42, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

In my view there is no need for that. Right to Vanish is a clear policy, not to modify any archive is only a rule which is superseded by my right to privacy. The only thing I have done was that I have replaced a reference to not existing account to existing one. -- Zacheus 00:53, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Please try to not damage the archives. If you remove something, leave a clear note that you have done so instead of replacing things with "..."s.

OK, I'll try to do my best. -- Zacheus 03:25, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

A wikibreak to spoil my privacy?

Please, respect my privacy. See Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser for further discussion. Thanks. -- Zacheus 01:01, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
