Deletion of My Anime List Article
editIt seems you deleted this page without giving any reason. A 'Reason Against Deletion' post was placed on the talk page, was it completely disregarded? CanadaAotS (talk) 04:00, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of WHATWG Article
editHey, I noticed that you deleted the WHATWG article for the following reasons "not indicate subject's importance or significance: group with no claim of notabilty, no Reliable sources)". This seems a little extreme, as the WHATWG is a fairly important/notable group, as they are currently writing the draft of HTML 5, one of the two main possible successors to the current web markup language. To say that they have no claim of notability is quite a bit wrong. For example, there have been several articles on the front page of slashdot about their efforts. So that seems to very much nullify the claim of not being notable which you make in the delete log. As for the sources in the article, although they may not exactly follow wikipedia standards, they seem pretty good to me (the official whatwg website, an interview with an MS developer about them, and info from the W3C website about the WHATWG and their actions with respect to them). And finally, as far as failing to indicate the subject's importance, I feel that this quote from the deleted article "On 2007-04-10, the Mozilla Foundation, Apple and Opera Software proposed[6] that the new HTML working group of the W3C adopt the WHATWG’s HTML5 as the starting point of its work and name its future deliverable "HTML 5". On 2007-05-09, the new HTML working group resolved to do that.[7]" somewhat addresses the notability of their efforts, although it could be better done. It seems like 5 minutes on google and a quick edit or flagging the article or starting a discussion on the talk page would have been more useful. --207.207.127.247 (talk) 05:07, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

FRING
editHi there, Please can we bring back the article about fring I have prepared an article at this link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:135.245.72.35/Fring_(draft) and i am sure it can be added without being deleted. If it is deleted again then the article about truphone should also be deleted.
These are both destructive technologies and they both deserve an article on wikipedia.

Rochester Institute of Technology Model Railroad Club
editHi Secret. I would like to ask you to reverse your closure of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Rochester Institute of Technology Model Railroad Club. The article was modified during the discussion, which I pointed out as the final comment on the page, but no one ever went back to look at the article again to see if it was improved. Furthermore, I believe the established standard of "multiple reliable sources" was ignored in this discussion for no good reason, and thus that those arguments should have been given less weight in the analysis.
For example: Cirt's reasoning was that it was a) unsourced, b) non-notable, and c) original research. The revisions made to the article invalidated at least two and possibly all three of those arguments. It was no longer unsourced, which also meant it was no longer original research. Notability might still be an issue, but I believe it's established by precedent due to the multiple reliable sources that were found.
jj37 simply referenced Cirt's reasoning, and so that !vote is called into similar question.
LonleyBeacon never responded to my additional question and request for clarification; LB's objection was that the D&C articles were not primarily about the club, but the policy he quoted says only that coverage must be "more than trivial", which said articles demonstrably are. That objection to LB's reasoning was never addressed.
Storkk had similar concerns, but yet still only said "Weak Delete".
Bearian had no opinion on the main club article.
DGG mentioned only that "[a] single writeup in a hobbyist publication is not sufficient notability", which is true, except DGG apparently ignored the other reliable sources, and never responded to my question pointing that out.
So in my opinion, each of the delete !votes are either weak or have remaining unresolved questions. I don't think there was a clear consensus for deletion in that discussion.
Thanks for your time. Powers T 02:48, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Take it to DRV, I just don't see the significant improvement, the sources listed are way too trivial mentions, and it still reads like an advert for the club. Secret account 20:44, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of "Green Chri$tma$"
editI'm not the original author of the entry, but I am the person who established it under its correct name (the S's as dollar signs).
As far as I can decipher the reasons for the deletion, they are that the article was "unsourced, non-notable, boosterism/ad". I don't remember the article exactly, so in its absence, for the moment I won't argue with the "unsourced". If that's a problem, I can provide better sourcing.
As for the other two reasons, I believe they apply to it no more than to articles on Simpsons characters or episodes.
Could this deletion be reviewed? Thanks.

Captain Proton question
edit- Secret, I was looking back over the Captain Proton deletion and noted that when you closed/deleted the article, you did so stating "Keep section didn't have one policy based reason". Looking over it, though, the Delete camp cited no policies either and the overall consensus was mixed with a lean toward Keep. I had thought (read it somewhere on Wikiedia IIRC) that the default action was keep in situations like this where there's no clear consensus and no clearcut policy rule. The only thing quoted/linked was the guideline Reliable Sources. Right now, I'm in a discussion that is eerily similar to the concerns regarding the Captain Proton page, but with less notability. Regardless, it may be notable within the highly-notable master topic, just as (for example) Section 31 is to Star Trek or The Adventures of Captain Proton is to Star Trek: Voyager. There appears to be a major lack of consistency and we're trying to figure out how to go about this on future articles (and personally I still hold out hope that the Captain Proton "decision" will be reversed eventually). Thank you in advance for helping me understand the reasoning. VigilancePrime (talk) 07:13, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Your block of a malicious user
editSecret, I want to thank you for indefinitely blocking the user Jjj222 and all his/her various and sundry sockpuppets. This person is by far the most malicious vandal I've seen, in that his persistence is extraordinary. One potential problem is that the anonymous IP address that he uses, 68.173.209.19 was only blocked for one month, set to elapse in the second week of January. If you will look at this IP addresses talk page, you'll see that it has a long history of being blocked for persistent vandalism. I implore you to please permanently block this IP address, as this user has shown in the past that if given the slightest amount of leniency, he/she will abuse it to no end. This user has almost led me to give up Wikipedia entirely, and I've been around in one form or another from the very beginning. Life has been so much better for me and everyone who edits baseball since you banned this person - please, continue the peace and productive editing by permanently banning this IP address.

List of characters in Titanic (1997 film)
editHello, Secret. If you look here and here, you'll see the brief discussion that took place about your having redirected the List of characters in Titanic (1997 film) article to Titanic (1997 film), which provides the reason why I restored that article. I understand your reason for having redirected that article, and if I don't get a good chance to fix up that article soon, then, of course, put that article up for a deletion debate again. For now, however, I ask you to allow more time for its improvement. I'll see you around. Flyer22 (talk) 02:18, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
That is the reason why I redirected instead of re AFD it, it's loaded with speculation, WP:NOR, etc. I wanted someone to clean it up without lossing the history. I'll re AFD in a month if it isn't improved. Thanks Secret account 19:59, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
You stated that you were nominating all the articles in the associated template.

I suggest you create another AfD for the remainder, and refer to this one as a precedent. --Stephen 08:06, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Game Deception article
editHi, first of all, please excuse my grammar and spelling, English is not my native language so sometimes things get a bit messed up.
Now back to business:
How can you say that Game Deception (referred to as G-D from now) does not assert significance?
Nearly *every* cheat available to any game, online or not is made either by knowledge found on G-D or by persons that write topics on G-D. (okay im exaggerating but a significant amount of them).
The article goes hand in hand with the Cheating in Online Games article, and if PunkBuster warrants an article, so should G-D.
It's a website that's been here since the beginning, where anyone who would like to get into game hacking, or just advanced programming should go.
There's 9,737 threads, 76,833 posts and 16,752 members, with over 266 people visiting the forums the last 24 hours i'd say it's a website of some significance.
Further more, the article is also being rewritten as we speak, being formed by the very members of G-D.
It's a great community, though slightly elitist. Anyone that shows the will to learn and has a decent level knowledge of programming (beginners also get helped, but they wont be spoon fed) will be more than accepted.
If you still feel it's not significant, you should also know that G-D is the home to a lot of "well known" hacks up trough the years, you could discover this by browsing the forum for a while if interested :)
I wish you could undelete this article so we can once again Edit the page and shed some light on this great game hacking community.
I would say G-D is the very tip of the sword when it comes to game hacking.
Just take a look here:
This is the tutorial section which is full of game related tutorials and guides.
This is the Half Life 2 Client Hook section as you can see from all the sticky threads, it contains pretty much *everything* you can do in the game as far as game hacking (ofcourse new things will be discovered, but if/when they do i'm 100% sure that's coming from G-D).
Hope you can take these things into consideration, if not i would like to discuss this more.
PS:
We know the article wasn't that great, but it's being rewritten to be better. And there's a IRC channel @ irc.rizon.net #game-deception, if you wish to talk to some members.
I am by far a known person (I'm rather new actually), but i feel G-D deserves a spot here at wikipedia as it *does* exist, and it *is* the best source and website available about game hacking. I'm sure many members on IRC far more experienced than me can tell you this too.
Just present yourself and say hi, we won't bite..

Robin Graham page deletion (October 22, 2007)
editI have only just noticed that this page which I spent a great deal of time researching has been deleted due to the alleged "lack of importance" of Robin Graham.
I disagree.
Robin's disappearance changed California Highway Patrol policy toward stranded female motorists; her disappearance has been examined by a number of television programs over the years. But because she predates the internet and newspapers online (even the L.A. Times articles aren't available through their online archives), she is dismissed.
I don't see how she is *less* important than Donna Lass, the woman who preceded her on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_disappeared page (which has ALSO been edited to remove Robin Graham).
Many people have speculated through the years that Robin was also a victim of the Zodiac Killer; doesn't that put on equal footing with Lass? LynnMaudlin (talk) 06:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
Can you WP:CITE those with reliable sources, in the article, it wasn't mentioned that it did all these stuff, just another murder. Secret account 13:51, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
On Robin's page I did cite newspaper articles; unfortunately when it's through "NewspaperARCHIVE.com" it's not an open source and one has to register and pay a small amount of money to access the pages. I was under the impression I'd saved all those pages on my computer but it turns out that NewspaperARCHIVE.com doesn't actually allow you to save the salient bits (grrrr - and it takes time to save those pages!)
Without buying another membership from these guys, I can tell you the Long Beach Press Telegram - NewspaperArchive - Jan 8, 1974 - contains an article about the CHP policy changes stemming from this event. Google's search stream was: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=CHP+policy+changes+robin+graham&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=wn&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=1970&as_hdate=1979&lnav=d4&hdrange=1993,2007
There was a fair amount of L.A. Times coverage but I couldn't access it (I can head down to the library and search the microfiche although *new* they now have the articles "for sale" online but, again, they won't be visible to anybody else wanting to access them without also paying for them) and then a lot of local articles and interviews and the CHP trying to explain why they didn't stop to help the girl, etc. Google search which now pulls up L.A. Times articles: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=robin+graham+freeway+disappearance+1970+&btnG=Search+Archives&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&um=1
If you can look at the page as I wrote it and check the reference links I put in, perhaps there's enough there to convince you to the notability of this person. I am reluctant but willing (cost-to-value ratio) to re-up with NewspaperARCHIVE.com although I don't know what good *that* does since the links will be like the one(s) I already put in the page. Or at least let me know what kind of citations you would find adequate, considering this is the internet. Thanks LynnMaudlin (talk) 07:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of an artical about MeeMix
editHey there,
I noticed that you have deleted the article I submitted about MeeMix. This is my first submission so I may have made some errors.
However the reason given was that the article was an advertisement for a site. As I know Wiki is not a place for that kind of articles I made sure to give my neutral and factual impression of the service and its nature.
I think that the sites has redefined musical taste prediction abilities beyond the web and there for wrought about it.
Please let me know what did you see as advertisement and why does the works on MeeMix as a new way of predicting taste not relevant to Wikipedia?

editHey I had a question to ask you, i was looking through your list of articles that you created or expanded, and on a couple of the pages i couldn't find your name in the history at all. Greg Landry, and Joe Page are a couple ones i noticed. So i was just wandering what was up with that. Hatmatbbat10 (talk) 19:52, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Just click on the original author userpage, and you'll see why (per privaty concerns) Secret account 19:54, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
All of them written of my first account, I'm trying to get the edits transfered here. Secret account 19:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

How do I find vandalism? --HPJoker Leave me a message 21:59, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Your watchlist or WP:RC would help. Secret account 22:08, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
- Watchlist. Never have experimented with that. Only have my archives on there. How do I use that? Remember I just got the tool and am new to this whole thing.
- Also, what do I look for in recent changes? --HPJoker Leave me a message 22:21, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Watchlist articles that you are interested on, and if you see a suspitious edit, check if it's vandalism, the way you watchlist articles is my clicking the watch tab on a top of an article. As for RC, same thing, click recent changes, and if you see something suspitious, click on the dif then check if it's vandalism and rollback. Secret account 22:23, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for being so stringent with the notability criteria laid down at WP:BIO. However, per a recent (archived) discussion at WP:FOOTY, a footballer is now notable if he has been given a squad number by his club for a competition of at least national repute. However, if he fails to make an appearance by the end of the season, or he is not given a squad number for the next season, his notability may be brought into question. – PeeJay 23:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi. The page Charlie Wittmack was recreated -- by the same user with basically the same text -- after you deleted it earlier today (then named Charles Wittmack). Should I just CSD tag it again? —Noah 01:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I'm just learning Wikipedia. I believe the page Charlie Wittmack is within the guidelines of Wiki. He is the first Iowan to summit Everest, as shown here[2]. If you agree please undelete.Nealmueller (talk) 05:32, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Response on Robin Graham page
editOn Robin's page I did cite newspaper articles; unfortunately when it's through "NewspaperARCHIVE.com" it's not an open source and one has to register and pay a small amount of money to access the pages. I was under the impression I'd saved all those pages on my computer but it turns out that NewspaperARCHIVE.com doesn't actually allow you to save the salient bits (grrrr - and it takes time to save those pages!)
Without buying another membership from these guys, I can tell you the Long Beach Press Telegram - NewspaperArchive - Jan 8, 1974 - contains an article about the CHP policy changes stemming from this event. Google's search stream was: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=CHP+policy+changes+robin+graham&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&tab=wn&sa=N&sugg=d&as_ldate=1970&as_hdate=1979&lnav=d4&hdrange=1993,2007
There was a fair amount of L.A. Times coverage but I couldn't access it (I can head down to the library and search the microfiche although *new* they now have the articles "for sale" online but, again, they won't be visible to anybody else wanting to access them without also paying for them) and then a lot of local articles and interviews and the CHP trying to explain why they didn't stop to help the girl, etc. Google search which now pulls up L.A. Times articles: http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=robin+graham+freeway+disappearance+1970+&btnG=Search+Archives&ie=UTF-8&oe=utf-8&um=1
If you can look at the page as I wrote it and check the reference links I put in, perhaps there's enough there to convince you to the notability of this person. I am reluctant but willing (cost-to-value ratio) to re-up with NewspaperARCHIVE.com although I don't know what good *that* does since the links will be like the one(s) I already put in the page. Or at least let me know what kind of citations you would find adequate, considering this is the internet. Thanks LynnMaudlin (talk) 07:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Still waiting for further info from you-- LynnMaudlin (talk) 01:12, 12 January 2008 (UTC) Ditto - LynnMaudlin (talk) 06:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
I undeleted it a few days back Secret account 18:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Blackie Towery speedied
editHi. I see you speedied the Blackie Towery article on Jan. 8. I dug up some sources and re-started it. (And there's much more I can say about the guy; I'll try to expand the article later.) In the future, if you see any substub NBA bios, just send them my way instead of deleting them on sight. I can usually find enough info to build a decent article after a few minutes of searching. Zagalejo^^^ 21:42, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Ok, anyways the article I deleted just gave some stats and couldn't tell what it really was, obvious A1. Thanks Secret account 21:43, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
Yea I just noticed the Position: F-C, my fault Secret account 21:47, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- I'll see what I can do with the Shason article. It might be tougher, as it's on an Israeli player. Thanks for letting me know, though. Zagalejo^^^ 22:19, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
- Well, I can access the Jerusalem Post with Newsbank, and there are some other articles available online. I should be able to clean it up a little bit. I'll get to it sometime later tonight. Zagalejo^^^ 22:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

...for your support in my recently closed Request for Adminship. I am more than a bit stunned by the outcome, which appears to have finished at 146 supports, no opposes, and one abstention. I am particularly grateful to Keilana and Kingboyk for their recent encouragement, and most specifically to Pastordavid, for having seen fit to nominate me. I also want to make it very clear to everyone that I have no intentions of changing my name again, so the servers should be safe for a while.
In the event you ever believe that I would ever able to assist in the future, I would be honored if you were to contact me regarding the matter. I can't guarantee results, unfortunately, but I will do what I can. Thank you again.
By the way, I know the image isn't necessarily appropriate, but I am rather fond of it, and it at least reflects the degree of honor I feel at the result. And it's hard to go wrong with a Picture of the Year candidate.
Now, off to a few last tasks before starting work in earnest on the various templates I promised I'd work on.

A technical question
editOn the Joe Klein AfD debate you write in part, "Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page...." My question is exactly how can people write on a discussion page of an article that's been deleted? There were a couple of comments on the discussion page and those are now gone.
