Reykjavík Airport

Hi man, thanks for the welcome.

Regarding the airport then the english homepage is outdated, if you can, which I doubt then you can read the Icelandic Homepage which is correct regarding the runways. [1]. 06/24 is not in operation any longer but nice that someone is looking after me anyway.

Concerning the deletion of "The Thutty Valas"

The Thutty Valas is an Indian rap group my friends and I created as children, and we have spent the past 5 months working on new albums, only to find, to our great dismay, that our page has been deleted due to being a "non-notable bio"! Please reconsider the deletion; we have a growing number of supporters and have made over 1000$ selling our records. Does this not constitute a "notable" biography? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.162.48.110 (talk • contribs) 03:41, 1 August 2006.

I deleted a redirect to a non-existant article. I see that you already asked King of Hearts (who delted the article) about this User talk:King of Hearts/Archive/2006.07#Regarding the deletion of "The Thutty Valas" where you threatened him. So no I will not restore it. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 08:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

..for reverting the vandalism to my userpage. Cheers. Lectonar 08:14, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

In reply to the quest

Well I am a Pollard myself and my first question was to see if anyone had heard of my fathers company. And my sister told me that the person who shot Nelson was a Pollard....I dunno if this was a lie or not, and Jack was a concorde engineer, just wondered if anyone had heard of him either. Thats my obssesion. Thanks for answering the questions anyway :)

Hope you like the article John Pollard (1787-1868). CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 19:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Dear Mr. CambridgeBayWeather

         I know that you are very busy with your work, but I would like to bring to your attention a recent article I found about myself. 

That is me Troy J. Rose. The creator of that article Le Sophisticate has called and informed me that you have been mercilessly editing his articles because of a copyright violation. I have looked the article in question over and made sure that it was rewritten to the fullest extent.

         I would like the page to stay the same. 

I would like my face to be known. I have looked all over the Internet and made sure that there were no more violations. If there are any more send a message to the creator of the aritcle and do not change the page, I will make sure he changes it myself. I will be visiting the site more now that I know I'm there!

                                                                  Thank you for your time,
                                                                   Troy J. Rose

Hey

Hey, I need some help with SD's.

• Decadeology is a hoax, and all links to it need to be removed as they were also added by the creator of the page
• The Cosmos Crystals does not assert notability/importance
• Martin Dillon (musician)
  • It has about a million redirects to it from non-probable typos (like Martin Dillon American Musician)
  • Its creator and only contributor, User:dhruvsk, writes about a person that I think is himself (Dhruv Kapoor) at Martin_Dillon_(musician)#Personal_Life and gives his own email address in the external links. I don't know what to do about this. It doesn't seem kosher, though.

Thanks, JianLi 04:14, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

I suppose you are referring to my submission of Merope's profile to speedy deletion as vandalism. Perhaps you know that Merope added the page that I was working on to speedy deletion. I had been writing it for all of 10 minutes approximately and just registered to wikipedia in order to write the article. It seems to me that Merope is not really following the standard of "not biting the newcomers" and honestly, I don't see what was wrong with my article in the first place.

It's not even really about why it was deleted for me. It's not that I want my precious article back ever so badly. The point is that Merope set my article up for deletion less than 20 minutes after I registered to Wikipedia. The article was called "Forest History Society". It's a library that specializes in forestry.

It certainly does have a website: http://www.lib.duke.edu/forest/

It's a library. It's an invaluable resource to those wishing to find information about forestry. The organization puts out a newsletter called Forest History Today to which approximately 2000 members pay $55 per year for.

Old Settlements

I was looking across an old map of Nunavut and came across 3 communities that were not listed as official or unofficial (like Nanisivik). Upon further research I found only the fact that at least two, Padlei and Tavani, were abandoned and the third one Ennadai remains an unknown. Do you have any idea at all what these settlements are or were? I know you may probably be unaware that they even exist but since you live in Nunavut I thought you might have more information at your disposal than I. Anyway, if you do know what they are let me know, I want to fill in these last 3 blanks and finish the last unwritten Nunavut articles. Thank you. Simtropolitan 16:23 EDST, August 3rd 06.

Thanks for the information, when I Googled these communities I could find anything except I did find that Ennadai is a location for the Ennadai Lodge which was built in 2000. Once again, many thanks, I will use this information well. Simtropolitan 09:36 EDST, August 5th 06.

Ennadai was a weather station; don't know if it's still in operation as such. In 1972, the ballots for the federal election were parachuted to them and lost in snowdrifts; a second ballot drop was successful. Padlei and Tavani - not sure.

Now, how about Resolution Island? Seems it even had a Bell Canada telephone exchange (four-digit numbers in the directory) at one time, but it disappeared around 1979-1982. The only thing I can find to relate to it is a military facility, which suggests there was no Inuit population, only transient employees, but curious that it had a public telephone exchange. GBC 20:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

SLBN vs. BUV

Regaring List of airports by ICAO code: S -- OK, I believe from your reference that SLBN is Bella Union in Bolivia. There are still sites that claim the IATA code BUV is for an airport in Bella Union Uraguy, and your reference doesn't clear this up. And List_of_airports_by_IATA_code:_B doesn't list BUV. There are numerous sites that conflate the two, but I'm suspicious everyone is getting their data from the same corrupt source. I'm going to reinstate the disputed fact to just the IATA code parenthetical. Let me know if you figure this out -- I was originally working on Bella Union (disambiguation) and all I know about airports is they lose my luggage : ) -- Kendrick7 20:37, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I guess I was under the mistaken impression there was a 1-to-1 correlation between ICAO and IATA codes, but a closer look at the list demonstrates that isn't necessarily the case. I left a distinguish marker in there so someone won't conflate these again or, perish the thought, ends up at the wrong airport. Since we both live near a wrong Cambridge, I suppose we're used to it. Here's to hoping you don't get too many Harvard freshmen re-routed to the Great White North, though it would mean a few less jumping in front of my car. -- Kendrick7 17:34, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Re: DIMAS article

Would you please re-post the DIMAS article I created earlier. Don't get the impression that this is just a joke thing, as you can see the weblink at the end is valid. We are trying to use wikipedia as another medium of information regarding DIMAS and DJ Mbenga himself. The Dallas Mavericks organisation themselves are aware of DIMAS as we have emailed DJ Mbenga personally. Your help would be greatly appreciated

Fire Lord

That page is a complete waste of a page. All the information that isn't speculation is already presented on Fire Nation. The page has a grammar or spelling error every other word and looks like it was written by a 10 year old. H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 15:52, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I've been trying to say that all the good information is already on the Fire Nation page or the bios of the three characters presented. Most the page is speculation which the Avatar Wikiproject has been deleting all of, so merging the information to Fire Nation would have no effect anyway.

My talk page doesn't load slow for me... and I don't like having the Userboxes on the profile page. H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 16:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I have Spartaz vote apparently. I posted my rational on the talk page for Fire Lord. If you go to the links I posted, you'll see that all the information on Fire Lord has in fact already been presented. H2P ^{(Yell at me for what I've done)} 16:21, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

deletion of Oliver Lester ?

Hello, Just wondering why you deleted the Oliver Lester article, thanks.

Games named FATE

That mess with FATE is largely my fault, so I'm trying to clean it up. I created it as a redirect to Fate (computer game) because the game's creators sometimes call it "FATE" instead of "Fate". Then someone pointed out that we have an article about a non-computer game called "FATE" ... See Talk:FATE for more details.

I've just edited FATE (role-playing game) to use Template:Otheruses4. Feel free to revert me. Cheers from southern Australia, CWC(talk) 18:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Oliver Lester

Hello,

Just responding to the email regarding your reply to the deletion of the Oliver Lester article.

Whilst I appreciate that he may not have come to the attention of the wider world as of yet, he is somewhat of a "cult" figure in certain parts of London. I understand that this may seem insignificant to most of the world, as you have previously explained, but there a lot of articles on the Wikipedia database, which are focused on somewhat of a "local" nature.

However, I do understand that in your position as an administrator that you do have an obligation to uphold a certain element of quality control. And thus, before you decide to make any decision regarding the publishing of this particular article, please can you take into consideration this new information regarding his relevance to the Wikipedia database.

Many Thanks

http://countrystudies.us/moldova/37.htm from that link what exactly do you understand? That it was held a referendum for a Union to Romania? If you understand that you didn't bother to read it too well. Please take a look again. I can make a search on google also to find 3 sites like you did, but please read carefully...--Noisettes 16:19, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

Exactly as you pointed very corectly: It says that in the referendum people voted to keep the territory the way it was Now, to every constitution when is adopted people vote for "keeping the territory integral" See referendum from Romania of 2003. --Noisettes 16:49, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

"accepts both 12 cm Wii Optical Discs and 8 cm optical discs" "12cm Wii optical disc (4.7 GB Single layer or 8.5 GB Dual Layer)"

That's a plain DVD it doesn't say anything about it being differant. Unless you're seeing something I'm not.70.101.201.248 13:59, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

It needs the seperate dongle to play DVD movies, the games are still stored on DVDs. This is the same thing that happened with the Xbox. The xbox games are stored on DVDs, but the Xbox can NOT play DVD movies. Unless you buy a "dongle".[2]Wii is the same, games are stored on DVDs, the system uses a DVD drive. But you can't play DVD movies on it without the add-on. 70.101.201.248 14:10, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

David Minehan deletion

Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport

Hi there. You just added the following information to the Łódź Władysław Reymont Airport infobox: new runway 07R/25L, 6,888 feet, 3,281 meters, Grass. This is news to me, and in any event, the lengths don't match (feet to meters). Could you verify and correct your information? You say in the edit summary that the information comes from the Polish Aeronautical Information Publication, but I don't think I have access to that; if there is a website with that info, please give me the link. You can reply here as I am watching your Talk page. Thanks, --Mareklug ^talk 18:00, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I screwed up the length it's 1000 m/3281 ft. There is a copy of the aerodrome chart from the official site under general aviation here as a PDF http://www.airport.lodz.pl/images/stories/ga/aerodrome_lodz1.pdf. As for the AIP site it's http://ais.pata.pl/aip/ and they require free registration and they have most of the Polish airports. You don't really need the chart but just the file marked text (it's actually a PDF) as that will give the elevation, length, surface type, distance from town, operator and more information. Most AIP's will come in English and the language of the country they are published in. I'm still trying to think of the best way to provide easier access to the source as just saying I got it from the AIP is not very helpful. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 18:47, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Israelisms

Hi, I am working on an article for Israelisms and noticed you have been working on it as well. I am new to wikipedia so I am glad for the help, but I was curious - are you a wikipedia person or an Israelisms listener? You just removed several links I was creating. Is there any way I can add them back? Thanks, again, for your help. StaceyStaceyferguson 18:11, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks! S.

David Minehan Deletion

So, if there are a few changes, will it be reposted? I would encourage you to look at Jimmy Ryan (musician). Not much more there than was on the David Minehan page. Would adding (musician) to David Minehan's article help? I was hoping that David's article would be a good starting point, with more to add later. There's a lot more info that I need to find out, but cound't at 3am sunday.

Airports in Manitoba

Hi Cambridge,

I am looking to include a list of airports in the Manitoba article. I thought you would be a good person to ask about this. Other provinces have lists but Manitoba has none so far. Thanks. jdobbin 19:13, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

I was thinking exactly of what the List of Pakistan Airports is like. Just a link on the main provincial pages and the list. The list would be your basic grid like Pakistan has. They have the List of airports in Canada by ICAO category but not strictly by province. Think it would be great but would take some work. jdobbin 01:12, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Sounds great. I like that it will bring some consistency to each province and that the information will be more at the fingertips of readers. jdobbin 01:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Vicious Pussy deletion

Recently, you deleted the Vicious Pussy wikipedia page. The deletion was accompanied by the tag "nn", which I take to mean "non-notable." Vicious Pussy is a notable band in State College, Pennsylvania, and has been featured by the Daily Collegian, the Pennsylvania State University paper, among other zines and news outlets. The band received many positive reviews, including being commented upon by the Black Angels, a national touring act. Additionally, the band is due to nationally release an EP in the near future. Therefore, I ask that you please restore the Vicious Pussy wikipedia page.

NOTE- It's probably not going to get relisted because this guy "CambridgeBayWeather" is someone who just deletes what they feel is spam without regard or explanation. Clearly someone who is bad, bad, bad for wikipedia. Clearly a wiki-Power Abuser. I don't think he gets the "open source" part of it, its obviously not open source if serious entries get deleted without explanation or rebuttle. Note, I reposted an article that did not pass a valid AfD (at all clearly popular opinion was in favor of inclusion) and was actually threatened by this person in a private message. - —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Testerer (talk • contribs) 18:08, 24 August 2006.

In case anybody is interested the so called "private message" and "threat" are here. Quite public and just a warning. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 03:36, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of article: Palpable_Computing

Dear Sir, You recently deleted the article "Palpable Computing", classifying it as 'nonsense'. As a researcher and practitioner working in this domain, which is a logical extension of Ubiquitous and Pervasive computing, I must ask that you reconsider the deletion. Palpable computing concerns the development of a software architecture and techniques to support the human comprehension/understandibility of (workplace) environments populated with myriad computational devices. This is a new, yet quite tangible perspective on how to reduce the complexity and dynamics of environments with highly dense populations of ubiquitous technology. Indeed, those of us working on research in this area find it no less vague or nonsensical than HCI or CSCW was when these topics emerged. In addition, please note that the article was incomplete and pending the addition of new material. Thank you for your consideration.

I came to Wikipedia to find out more about Palpable Computing but found the article had been deleted. Whether or not it is 'nonsense' I would have liked to know more about the subject to which people are referring when they use the term... Abesford 12:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Soccer-europe.com images

Alan - I noticed your comment at User talk:Soccer-europe.com that you have placed an image credit within the article such as at David Trézéguet. I think this goes against general practice at Wikipedia and I find it extremely undesirable as a form of advertising in articles. Wikipedia:Image_use_policy#User-created_images mentions that All photo credit should be in a summary on the image description page.

Additionally, I don't think that Soccer-europe's image copyright requires the website to be credited in the article. Many images such as those licensed under {{GFDL}} or {{cc-by}} require attribution but that is reserved for the image page rather than in the article. I'd like to hear your thoughts on this. -SCEhardT 03:48, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Rain guage

Hi. I've seen the picture. The character on it is definitely traditional Chinese. The three bigger characters means rain guage. The smaller ones on the left are not clear enough. But I can recognize that the first two characters means Qian Long Period of Qing Dynasty. Qian Long is an emperor who ruled China for more than 60 years.

Korea used to be a state affliated to China, so it's possible that some time that use the ear name of China. Maybe it's a gift from Chinese emperor to Korean emperor.

And there is another fact that, Korean people used to use Chinese characters.(So did Japanese) This changed only 1 or 2 hundred years ago. Anthony Gao 01:01, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Earl Warren

I'm having some trouble with the Earl Warren article. Well, actually it's the "discussion" page.

1. I edited the article, but felt that I needed more space than the edit summary allows, so I wrote "see discussion." The problem is that although I can, and have continued to, edit all sorts of things, I am blocked from the Earl Warren discussion page. Normally this wouldn't bother me, but I feel that I should provide the explanation I promised.

2. The discussion page has a notice that it is part of a WikiProject about Texas. This makes no sense at all. (A) How can a discussion page be part of a project? (B) Earl Warren didn't come from Texas in the first place. He was from California and never lived in Texas.

Something is fouled up. B00P 07:36, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your quick attention. The peculiar problem has disappeared. B00P 20:09, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Robert Morey

Are there valid reasons you keep speedying this? How is anyone supposed to write an article if an admin with an itchy trigger finger continues to delete the article? You need to try to get a bit of perspective here and consider the fact that a) this is a new article that is not a rehash of the previous article, b) given the controversy surrounding Morey's writings an article is merited, c) you are seriously crossing the WP:AGF line by deleting it twice, d) the reasoning for your second reversion is your opinion, not a fact, e) your first reversion, while marginally within the guidelines, showed a lack of, or an unwillingness to excercise, analytical ability vis-à-vis determining whether an article is clearly just being started, f) you left absolutely zero time to dispute the speedy, in violation of AGF, and g) a bit of research into the edits of the person starting the article would have indicated to you that this is not merely an attempt to recreate a deleted article (BTW, I had not known that until JoshuaZ pointed it out). A response would be appreciated. &#0149;Jim62sch&#0149; 14:53, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. I understand your point for the first -- but I never got to add anything to it (which is unusual for me when starting an article: I usually have the initial verbiage pasted to a clipboard so there's substance, not just a name). In any case thanks for restoring it...now I have to go argue with Guy. ;) Take care. &#0149;Jim62sch&#0149; 21:09, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Menlo School

Hello,

Thank you for the warm welcome and for fixing my goof on the Menlo School page (deleting the links). As for the class size, I interpreted it to be the average size of the freshman, sophomore, junior and senior classes (like, the class of 2006). Looking at it again, I see that the intent is to give the average size of classes being taught at the school. I edited the section, and I think it's more clear now. I also added more info about universities graduates attend, including a reference. I hope I did it right! (It looks good to me.)

Hi, I was just editing the José Manuel Reina Páez article and looking through the history I noticed that User:Soccer-europe.com deleted the image from the page. You then re-added it into the main body of the article, with the asked for credit. Someone else has since moved it back into the infobox, moving the credit with it. I have since resized it slightly to fit the box better.

I have just read through User talk:Soccer-europe.com and see no reason to not use the image in this way as it is still credited, but I just wanted to check what your initial reasons were for placing it into the main body of the article. Cheers, aLii 19:22, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Regarding Deletion of Image

Hello, this image was deleted: "Image:Harold Town Mechanical Forest Sound 1953.jpg"

I followed the instructions in the Wikipedia commons for debating the proposed deletion (created a talk page) but my appeal was not responded to. As I pointed out on the talk, at least twenty images currently in use on Wikipedia are drawn from the National Gallery of Canada's website on precisely the grounds that I drew the above image. I'm not sure why those images are permitted but the above was not. Thank you for your consideration. --Ggbroad 20:17, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Great job!

The list of airports across Canada is an amazing job. I think it really adds to the each provincial and territorial section. I'll be adding the link to the Manitoba section today. Once again, great work. One stop information at your fingertips really makes the Canadian entries in Wikipedia superior to almost anything out there. jdobbin 23:57, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Airport names

After my comments on a couple pages, I realized the existing format wasn't as consistent as I initially thought. However, I think it makes more sense to use the country name, since that would be the most recognizable. Virtually everyone knows where Australia is (although apparently some Americans don't know they speak English), but I'm not sure if Victoria is as recognizable. The same goes with the United States vs Alabama for Birmingham Int'l. Dbinder (talk) 15:43, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Good point. Maybe it should be that if there's only one airport with that name in the country, then the country's name should be in parenthesis. If there are two or more, it should be the state/province/territory/etc.? Dbinder (talk) 17:40, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Mischief_makers_02.jpg

Hiya, maybe someone could explain me why this picture was deleted: Mischief_makers_02.jpg It's the second picture on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Mischief_Makers. I have used it after the photographer (Alan Lodge) has given me permission to use it. This photo is used once elsewhere on the internet and is part of a photo report here: http://www.indymedia.org.uk/en/regions/nottinghamshire/2006/03/335393.html - The photographers website can be found here: http://tash.gn.apc.org/

I would appreciate it if someone could email me explaining this, as at the moment I fail to uderstand what I have done wrong. Cheers, email address removed

> I will ask the photographer today to request that he makes the media available under a free license.

Concerning the deletion of Jedsundwall.jpg

I'm amazed that you would delete a picture of myself that I uploaded to my own user page.

What criteria do you use to prune images, because I think they should be reevaluated, as such unnecessary deletions are a waste of everyone's time. They also add an undue aura of negative energy to the entire wikipedia experience. Please tread more lightly. Jedidiah 15:59, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of "List of Xbox 360 games without region encoding"

I have no idea why this article was deleted. I have now taken the time to go through the guidelines of deletion and cannot see any that this page would have violated, so I have to believe that it was mistakenly deleted based on ignorance of the topic. The page was a nice chart of Xbox 360 games and what region players they played on. This is useful in two ways...

1. Users who do not have a console from a region other than theirs can look for games to import that will work on their player. Game tastes vary in different areas of the world and while a particular game may work in Japan it isn't marketable in the United States. That doesn't mean that there are not Americans who want to play those games though, and without a guide like the one that was here they are blindly purchasing a game with the hopes that it will work.

2. More serious importers, like myself, who have consoles from two regions can use this page in many ways. I could purchase a Japanese game months before it was released here in the US. The trade off is I need to read Japanese. Interestingly the way I used it most was not for importing games, but to see which of my region 1 (north american) games worked in my ntsc-j console because I could play those in my bedroom instead of two floors down in the theater room.

So in summary this page had uses for me personally and I'm sure many others. It was in no way an advertisement, it did not violate any copywright laws, and importing itself is not illegal. So what was the problem?

You deleted my links from three pages:

re: Israelims deletion and threat allegations 8/24/6

I'm replying because I'm quite frustrated with the fast-tracked process of deleting an article on something of social and public interest and import. I'm not sure you understand how many thousands of people listen to the podcast that this article is about. I can't understand why a wikipedia mod would mark and article as spam without doing any research other than an Alexa web rating or a Lexis search. Could someone be so ignorant of new media as not to do 5 minutes of research and ask themselves wheather or not an "open source encyclopedia" should include and article about a pioneer and highly popular podcast that has been very influencial in the greater podcasting evolution. Wikipedia is full of entries on podcasts, there was never any discussion or examples of why this podcast should not merit inclusion.

It's clearly not open source if someone like you can say it's not good enough. I'll save us both the 2 hour wiki meta discussion and admit that some things just don't make the cut. But if there's an argument or heated discussion. If it gets reposted and you are willing to threaten my rights to post on wikipedia, I have no problem telling others about my own personal, hopefully unique experience. In your first message to me you did threaten the loss of my priveledges if I did not cease unfavorable activity. Because there was no reason given for this article to be fast-track flagged for deletion, considering wikipedia poses itself as an open source community, I figured the same person who flagged the article "lactation" had just gotten it wrong, or the 1st attempt at a proper article was not written and crafted in a way that was in compliance with the wikipedia standards. BTW- I appreciate you linking to all the wiki policies, but that's a bit much considering I already know where to find them.

I read the AfD discussion page and there were enough people in favor of inclusion that were ignored by insiders who were bent out of shape on website postings (as if nobody has ever suggested people contribute to wikipedia) and comment system messages and fully researching the actual content and factuality of the entry itself. In fact, no specific comments were made at all ont he content whatsoever. It was the nature of the content that was found objectionable.

And even today, in your 2nd and perhaps final message to me, you again flaunt your power over me, the user. You implied that you would have helped me if I had not done yet another thing to your disliking? I can certainly get the point. Don't piss off "CambridgeBayWeather" because he'll threaten to ban you and will taunt you after the fact.

Truth of the matter is, what I wrote was mostly true. Wikipedia asks that encyclopedic information be factual. Funny how nobody, not you or anyone in the AfD has disputed the factuality of anything I've posted on, or anything I've been threatened to not repost.

""CambridgeBayWeather" is someone who just deletes what they feel is spam without regard or explanation."

You said yourself it was fast-tracked and you removed it, but you deleted it anyways because, why bother doing some research, who cares if this podcast is consistantly rated in the top 5-10 at PodcastPickle, a directory who was just named one of Time Magazines top 50 websites, along with YouTube and Myspace. Naw, why bother doing any research at all...

"Clearly someone who is bad, bad, bad for wikipedia. Clearly a wiki-Power Abuser."

2 message from you, the mod, the 1st you threatened to take away my own personal ability to contribute to wikipedia. The 2nd you gloated over the fact that you could have helped me, but didn't like my opinion on another matter that seemed really similiar. You weren't familiar with it, so you deleted it.

"I don't think he gets the "open source" part of it, its obviously not open source if serious entries get deleted without explanation or rebuttle."

Clearly there is strong support for the inclusion in the AfD, arguments made on the contrary were off based, ill founded, and irrelevant. The entire "open source" model of wikipedia has come into question several times. It's not my problem, I don't pretend to run wikipedia. But let's not pretend there is a big love affair with wikipedia.

"Note, I reposted an article that did not pass a valid AfD (at all clearly popular opinion was in favor of inclusion) and was actually threatened by this person in a private message."

I still claim that the AfD was invalid due to fast-tracked spam stamping of this article, and I also believe that you've abused your power (as did the other mod btw) and probably done alot to disapoint and frustrate a sizable community of people who will remember this experience. Instead of doing any research in comparison with the countless other podcasts listed in wikipedia. Looking at iTunes, Yahoo, PodcastPickle, Podcast Alley, any site and all and finding out what impact this show has. Look I'm not Israeli, I'm not Jewish, I'm not bombing Lebanon. But the show itself deserves a place in wikipedia. It was the 1st podcast ever from Israel. The 1st Podcast done by American-Ex Pats now living in Israel.

What you guys (mods) have done is delete an article without explain why it was marked spam in the 1st place, and when you contacted me, a user. The 1st time you threatened my right to post, the 2nd time you smugly belittled my dilema. And now its next to impossible to even find the talk or discussion pages for the AfD on this article. You know that seems pretty odd to make it available for about a day then bury it so nobody can go back and find out why. If I'm wrong, I hope I am, please tell me where the talk/discussion pages are from the initial marking of spam or neutrality and the actual explanations. Not This seems like an ad, something, uh.. of substance.

Alot of people are disapointed, if you had deleted the article on legitimate grounds, after legitimate research, nobody would have a problem. Yet you have articles like Yeast_Radio.

"Yeast Radio, one of the most notorious, bizarre and groundbreaking podcasts on the internet, which has gone on to develop a cult following"

This isn't spam? This is neutral? This doesn't read like an advertisement? This is good enough? Not only is this information not factual, it actually does sound like an advertisement

Read that and tell me we shouldn't be a bit ticked off that we contributors of information should be so brushed off without any true understanding of our situation. Don't quote me policies if your not willing to enforce them all around. Don't delete a podcast from Israel at a time when Israel is getting major criticism due to its political difficulties yet leave some glowing article like the above to be untainted and unregulated.

Ultimately, we'll probably just use a private wiki site like wetpaint.com, there are so many with such superior interfaces that that will probably be the end of wikipedia. But hey- at least you can say you deleted enough articles to drive people away.

Thanks alot and, don't ever threaten me again- It is offensive and out of line. I have not treated you in that manner, I don't appreciate you treating me in that way.

PS- "If you do I will respond but if you don't I will ignore you."

This isn't what wikipedia needs for a mod. It's a smug, "do it my way" mentality. Who does this guy think he is? Can wikipedia afford to treat people like this?

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

Which makes you a reasonably non-random choice to ask a small favor of, in light of my failing to cultivate working relationships with anyone i'm aware of as an admin. Well, Angela doesn't count, especially since i gave, as the best reason for admin'g me, getting me off her back when i want to do a move that requires a del.)
_ _ I feel confident that Darren Kane is eligible for A7 speedy, but on principle i don't execute A7 speedies when no one else has asserted speedy is called for. I twice tagged it, but two users whose opinions i have no particular reason to credit have removed the tags, without stating what claim of notability they find present; AFAI can tell, they both acted before any admin other than me had made a judgement. If you'd express your opinion abt whether the A7 is valid (or better yet do the deletion), i'd be satisfied that i don't need to pursue an edit war with these two until some random editor with better credentials than them has weighed in.

KGV school

So, who says my additions are not relevant to this article? Obviously my recollections are from an earlier time.

You need to qualify your statements because e.g. assembly was daily during my time, and the Lord's prayer and the hymn was integral to the assembly.

During my time no one called the Old Block Peel Block, in fact the name Peel was unknown.

LOL, no one remembers the school song, that's why they give you the words when you need to sing it.

You do not have a monopoly to this article or the history of KGV, to haphazardly delete anyoneelse's contribution is just the height of arrogance. In fact, by doing so, you're making this article inaccurate, buddy.

KGV school

OK, I'm just learning to do this. Now I see you're an admin instead of the author of the article.

That KGV edit was my first on Wikipedia. I considered my first edit a correction of the article because some of the statements were incorrect if it were to be applied to all-time. At the least the author should time qualify the article if he/she wants it to be correct.

My edit on the canteen, though it could be construed narrowly as vandalism is 100% correct. Not only I, but many others have commented on it, and was only added after my first edit was unceremoniously deleted.

I think there needs to be an edit of the article as is, because even though it may be an accurate representation of KGV during the author's time, it isn't correct for my time. I could write an article that could be 100% yet conflict with that author's article, so how do I go about this without getting my additions deleted?

JBG

KGV School

Merci beaucoup, mate. Alright, I see what's needed now. I'll attempt to make some additions which don't look like they're graffiti. And I've since seen the comments on the numerous prank changes to it. I guess that's why there is so much sensitivity to changes to this article, but I'm a genuine bona fide alum from 1981 or so.

I think what rubbed me the wrong way most of all was that "they" attempted to make this article like a glossy ad for the school. This should be an informational article and not a promotion for the school. The article stresses the word tradition, but there's nothing traditional in it at all. Did I mention that "caning" was an accepted form of deterent when I was there? All that unacceptable stuff was part of the tradition. The KGV they have now bears no resemblance to what KGV used to be.

Back River

I noticed you've been reverting the edits to Back River by what seems to be one person; I chanced across an edit yesterday and reverted it myself, and left both a message on the user's talk page and then an email in his inbox explaining why the information was being removed. I mentioned that his contact details would always be removed as advertising and if the rest remained it would have to be GFDLed; his latest edit, while containing the same information, did at least take out the contact details. I've taken this to mean he's read and understands the reasoning and is happy to provide the information as GFDL; I've worked the text into the main article with a better structure and cleaned and wikified it a bit. I feel it may be a bit borderline with verifiability, but the information there is useful and informative and hopefully now fits better. Let me know what you think? --Firien § 10:49, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
