List of wikis

  • They deleted it a few months ago but It's much more popular now and the hostility with Jimmy Wales is old news. You have alot of clout here, could you help me make it an article again? Andman8 18:36, 27 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
  • Start the article in your userspace (subpage User:Andman8/centaire for example). When you've got some content in there, let me know and I'd be more than happy to give you feedback on it. If you place a notice at the top that its an article in progress before its ready to be released, and perhaps the template {{userpage}}, that should keep it safe until its ready to be transferred to a mainspace article. A good place to start is WP:BETTER. -wizzard2k (CTD) 02:39, 29 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for the advice. Did I resolve the issues for this article. Please let me know what you think. It was the first one I ever wrote. --Akc9000 01:08, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Looks pretty good. I added some wikilinks to it, and did some copy-editing for you. You'll see some [citation needed] around places where I feel some supporting evidence is needed for the claims. Anything that is not a statement of obvious fact probably needs to be cited, especially to a reader unfamiliar with the material. I think the article is doing much better, and genuinely falls into the category of a stub (at least in my book). Hope that helps! -wizzard2k (CTD) 01:42, 30 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Don't template the regulars

edit

You're a new editor, so you may not be aware of this recommendation ("slapping standard templates on the Talk pages of experienced users may be regarded as petty and uncivil"). Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong, but the culture around here is that it's sorta considered bad form. Your broader point is well-taken -- good of you to step in. Thanks! Raymond Arritt 15:55, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

  • I used those official templates because 3RR is quite serious. The next step is reporting to Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/3RR, but I have to be able to show the diff where I warned everyone. You particularly are not close to the 3RR limit, but each of the other two involved have reached the threshold. I had to warn everyone involved in the edit war (just calling it what it is really) to be fair, and face it, the template is the easiest way to do that three times. -wizzard2k (CTD) 15:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
OK. Templating experienced users may be the easiest way to do the job, but as explained it's not regarded very favorably. All involved are experienced editors who are well aware of the implications of 3RR (in fact one is an admin). Sometimes there are more important considerations than doing things the easiest way. Just trying to help you maintain goodwill. Raymond Arritt 16:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I can see that. I wasn't trying to be a dick, I was just trying to get the message across. You can see in the talk page on the article I tried warning everyone there, but it didn't seem to take. Even admins make mistakes in heated debates from time to time! I've been trying to follow the progress of this article since I first caught notice of it, but I haven't really seen many good opportunities to pitch in honestly. -wizzard2k (CTD) 16:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
No prob, I know you mean well and am just pointing out a part of the culture you may not be familiar with. Your contributions are appreciated.

Hey there, sorry about that. I was logged on through a computer at school and a friend of mine jumped on my account while I was in the washroom.

John Harley

edit

Hi, I made a representation about why a page I authored (on the beer expert John Harley) should, in fact, be preserved; I expected from the comments left on this page that the process would take 7 days. However, I wake up this morning to find the page removed along with my comments. I can honestly say that I feel abused. Why give explicit descriptions of a process, and get the author to enter into this process, and then scrap not only the work in question, but also the 'judicial' process! I am shocked. MusicMusicMusic 07:10, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

There are a couple different processes on wikipedia. What you have to understand, is while wikipedia is structured, it's not a bureacracy, and editors will take shortcuts when they can feel something is going a certain direction. There are processes to reverse such action, such as a deletion review, and sometimes you can get an article restored to a subpage in your userspace to work on. If you want to write an article about someone, your best bet is to draft it up first, before posting it, especially if its been deleted here before. You can start in the sandbox, or make yourself a subpage in your userspace (be sure to label it draft, so it doesnt get tagged as well). When you're creating an article about a living person, just about everything you say in the article about them has to be sourced, or it gets deleted as potentially libellous. Take a little time to get to know how wikipedia works, and you'll find the experience a whole lot smoother. Hope this helps! -wizzard2k (CTD) 14:44, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Monsters Game

edit

Hi, there is now a link for a game review in Monsters Game, as it's on AfD, I hope this review link will revert its deletion (as this review proves its not original research, and its notable), the only thing is that the review is in German. Jordz 12:53, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

That's not really going to help much. I've seen things with more evidence of notability get deleted. The article's contents have been saved over at wikia:gameinfo:MonstersGame, which is probably where it belongs for now anyways. There's much more freedom there. If/when someone ever decides it worthy enough of some spotlight attention, it might work as a wikipedia article, but not without a few sources talking about it first. -wizzard2k (CTD) 14:34, 7 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Multiple templated warning messages can have that effect, and they're meant to discourage people from adding unacceptable content to the wiki. Unfortunately, if people are determined enough, they will just ignore them. I saw your message at Hey wikipedia, so I knew you weren't the normal vandal type. I've left some tips on your talk page on where to begin. Just be sure to read up on the rules, and try not to step on too many toes, and you should do just fine here. -wizzard2k (CTD) 03:35, 10 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

i thankyou for taking the time to tell me that you may be deleting my page. i have recetly done extensive research into both christianity and catholicism, if you have aswell.. then delete it, but if you have not, which i suspect may be the case, then i would strongly encourage you to actually READ the article as it speaks plain truth to allow clear thinking.. any attempt to delete the article will be taken offensively and will be treated as attempted censorship, this will then result in the closure of wikipedia, along with mass publication of my article. the truth will be heard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anklesockrockers (talkcontribs) 10:53, June 10, 2007

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a publisher of original thought. However, your article Christianity and Catholicism was text copied from another website.

Fizx Recordings

edit

A tag has been placed on Fizx Recordings, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ==

Nope, deleted again..Too short this time which is odd I understand that it is short but it is just as long as freak recordings under drum and bass labels in the same section as mine. As well as every other label. I understand that you did not delete it thanks for that but what should I do. Sorry to keep bugging you..

You sent me some info about the Ten-Fifty-One article, and unfortunately due to a busy work week I did not see it until today. I would've updated that the information was posted with the direct permission of the copyright owner (i thought I already had).

Unfortunately, some other person decided to go in and delete the material already, so i'm not going to bother to waste my time re-doing it. I don't think that wikipedia is for me, as it moves much too quickly and unless you have significant time daily to respond to things, there is no way that any contribution will be long-lived. :(

Your AWB request

edit

Your request raises some warning signals. Please make sure you study the history of why we use lists and categories, and what the distinction between them is: in particular make sure you take note of how each deal with red links (hint: one of them does not and is therefore useless). HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 08:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

What I meant was, a lot of the "List of" articles are going to Afd, and being deleted, when a few of the people in the discussion are agreeing that a category would be better (one example List of songs with the same name as song artists). These are mainly things that simply contain links to articles, and nothing more. The idea is not to get rid of good lists, but lists that are going away as part of an AfD, as I have seen several do lately without being converted to categories as suggested. I do understand when reds are helpful, and from my monitoring of List of wikis I get to see my fair share of red links that are just plain spam, or people creating articles that really don't belong. -wizzard2k (C-T-D) 06:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply
Just to clarify, I don't plan on converting any existing lists, just ones that are up for deletion (and look like they're going to be deleted, and would be better served as categories, or a few that have already been deleted, but would still be better served as categories. -wizzard2k (C-T-D) 16:09, 26 June 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your request for rollback

edit

After reviewing your request for rollback, I have enabled rollback on your account. Keep in mind these things when going to use rollback:

  • Getting rollback is no more momentous than installing Twinkle.
  • Rollback can be used to revert clear cases of vandalism only, and not good faith edits.
  • Rollback may be removed at any time.

If you no longer want rollback, then contact me and I'll remove it. Also, for some information on how to use rollback, you can view this page. I'm sure you'll do great with rollback, just leave me a message if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of rollback. Happy editing!

Seeking advice on page modification process

edit

I am looking for guidance on how best to go about discussing proposed modifications to the Design Technology entry? I have tried to add comments to the Talk page and even tried editing the page itself. Neither has had the desired results. The talk page has resulted in no discussion and the page edit has resulted in my modifications being deleted, but again with no real discussion/dialogue of why and guideance on the proper process. I have even looked through the history and don't see my edits or counters to it. I feel this topic should be expanded here and not just redirected. With proper expansion the redirected section could still be included as a link. I want to do things right, but need some assistance and direction. Let me know if you can help me with this, thank you Obi-wan (talk) 15:21, 11 December 2010 (UTC)DezignVizReply

I apologize, in that reviewing all this again, I may have messed up. It now appears there are two entries Design Technology my recommended modifications, and Design technology containing the redirection. Notice the lower case "t" in the second case. I am not exactly sure how this happened and it was not my intention. I thought I was editing the original Design technology page.

So, now the question is can I or you replace the content and redirection in Design technology with that of Design Technology, and then remove Design Technology entry? If me, can you outline the proper process? Thanks Obi-wan (talk) 15:43, 11 December 2010 (UTC)DezignVizReply

The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
