Alexa rating

A low Alexa rating is good indication that barely anyone visits a website.

No that's an indication that many user don't use alexa-spyware. --217.84.44.94 15:00, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Anarchopedia

Hi,

First, a minor technical point: Yours was the only signed keep comment -- because the other keep commenter failed to sign his remark, I am free to discount it. That is not, however, why I found a deletion consensus -- remember AfD is not a "vote" in the strict sense, anyway; closers are empowered to weigh arguments. In this case, those favoring retention were quite poor, sadly. Your own remark referenced only pages within Anarchopedia and Wikipedia as sources: such self-references are deprecated by WP:RS. A verifiable article simply must have independent sources. The arguments of your unsigned fellow keep commenter were even further off the mark. Anarchopedia cannot be given a "pass" on the five pillars of Wikipedia because it is novel, noble, or a kindred wiki. Such an argument is exactly the opposite of policy here at Wikipedia, and only served to weaken the case for retaining the article. Put as simply as I can, there were no relevant arguments given in support of keeping the article. I'm sorry, but the decision was "open-and-shut" from a policy point-of-view, given the nature of the discussion in the record.

The place to present a request for appeal of the AfD is Deletion Review. You are free to go there and state a case, but I feel my closure was on very solid ground. I'm sure it goes without saying that I have nothing personal at stake here (I just "call them as I see them", as the saying goes) and I wish you good luck.

Dear User:Cold_Light:

Please assist me w/ the comparison.

I do not want to presume the differences.

Hopiakuta 04:37, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

I, sincerely, want to know.

I had nothing to do w/ your deletion.

I feel that they delete far too much without negotiation.

Please??

Hopiakuta 15:36, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank You.

I've put more onto my page.

Space Race

I apologize for the tone of my comments. However, now that I reread your addition, it was also somewhat POV ("exploitation", "so-called"), and such. It just didn't really belong in that article. --Golbez 01:33, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Criticism of Windows Vista

Hello, I recently reverted your edit to Criticism of Windows Vista, as it appears that you added a new section header without any content. Since you have edited other pages since then, I assume you are not going to add content, so this section was removed. If you do have content to add, please add it along with the header. Thanks Tiggerjay 01:55, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Criticism of fractional reserve...

Thanks for your comments. I will take a crack at cleaning it up. I'll take your comments into consideration and please give feedback. One issue was that it said "also," frequently, and the spelling was quite bad. I will admit to perhaps acting quickly on reverts on that page, which come primarily from a noted sockpuppet, and my apologies if your comments did not get due consideration due to my itchy trigger finger (as a result of the atrocious history there). Best,--Gregalton (talk) 17:43, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I should note that from the beginning, I thought this article shouldn't exist and should be deleted. Since it remained, the main issue was reducing the amount of soapboxing and providing some balance. So further work is necessary, although it may be better to just start over.--Gregalton (talk) 18:00, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

I'll take a look at the new version. BTW: analysis (not analisis), I think you got hypothesis.--Gregalton (talk) 19:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Template:GameNavigation

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Template:GameNavigation|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.
