N64 Gamer

The N64 Gamer article was fantastic, and it brought a lot of memories back to me when I read it the other week. I looked for it, and it was gone. Would you, or anyone have saved a copy of the text on it? Thanks, DarkPidgeot ^talk

Marion

If you intend to do any historical writing on your local area (as you have suggested on the Wikiproject Adelaide talk page) I would suggest borrowing these two books from your community library:

• The History of Marion on the Sturt, by Alison Dolling, 1981
• MARION 1945 - 2000: A Suburban City, by R.J.R. Donley, 2001

Thanks, also when replying to things on my talk page, should I write it here and assume that the person I want to talk to will check back? Or should I write it on their talk page? Darkcraft 08:59, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Its usually best to reply on the other persons talk page and to expect a response on your own, such as this one. Write an article, be bold! Wikipedia doesn't get made if we dont have the drive to just get out there and create articles. You can as a standard user (like myself and most wikipedians) create, edit and move pages. You don't have to mention every page on the discussion board; unless its directly relevant to the project I would not bother - that said, do as you wish! Good luck. michael ^talk 09:16, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Gone With the blastwave Deletion

I added proofs that might be useful on the Gwtb Discussion.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Gone_with_the_Blastwave Thanks for defending us, I would like to be of more help but my english really is too poor to argue well :) Altnabla

Gone With The Blastwave

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Gone_with_the_Blastwave Sorry for bringing this up again I'm sure you have had enough of this artical, but I just wanted to know what your reaction to that last argument I put forward, ie the image and translation of the magazine artical. Would you count that as a notable and verifiable source? The closing admin stated "The result was delete. No reliable sources = no verifiable notability, which is the applicable policy here." Yet the newspaper artical seemed fine, and unless you have objections to the magazine stuff I posted, that would be a second source. If you would have had no objections to the magazine evidence, then I would consider taking this to deletion review because the admin did not seem to take that evidence into account. Or maybe he just didn't think it fit the guidlines. Anyway, thanks for staying NPOV throughout the discussion despite our differing viewpoints and my arguing against so much.Darkcraft 00:04, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Honestly, the mentions here are really, really pushing it. I mean, the Belgian magazine basically says "This guy draws well". The same is essentially true of (Finnish?) newspaper. Personally, I wouldn't bother taking it to a deletion review - in order to meet standards, it has to have multiple, non-trivial, published sources. You have, now, two very marginal sources - one of which is almost certainly trivial, given that it is only one or two lines, and it's in a free paper. They definitely don't meet the spirit of the standards, if even the text. Frankly, you say that the comic is on the verge of being published - good! Then just wait. When Gone with the Blastwave is published, you'll have a veritable litany of good sources, and will have no problem setting up an article with a variety of sources that meet standards. That's what I would do here - in the meantime, if you took my advice, you can develop your own local version of the article, so you can be ready to post it when it gets published. Going to review is just going to be a big waste of time, in my opinion, since most admins will not be willing to overturn consensus due to the addition of a minor, arguably trivial, source. Just wait - it's doing well on comics trawling sites, so it doesn't really need a Wikipedia article. You're better off not squandering whatever credibility the article has getting it deleted over and over again, and just waiting it out. --Haemo 01:59, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok I wont take it to deletion review, not that we really had consensis it was about 50/50. I believe that this artical should be included in Wikipedia, but I also believe that the chances of it being successful at deletion review are too small for it to be worth the effort of submiting it.Darkcraft 03:15, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair enough - it was good discussing this material with you, regardless of our differences. It really helped firm up my understanding, and interpretation, of the standards Wikipedia has as guidelines, which makes me a better, and more effective, editor. --Haemo 03:23, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (Image:Freespace 2 boxart.jpg)

Thanks for uploading Image:Freespace 2 boxart.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BetacommandBot 08:35, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Hipster sexism

Not sure how db-web applies here. Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion Cheers Jim1138 (talk) 09:26, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

• I've declined it and posted a thing on the article's talk page. Basically, it doesn't fit any of the criteria for web content and it doesn't really cleanly fit any of the other speedy categories. It seems like it's a neologism of sorts, but might have some merit merged into Hipster_(contemporary_subculture)#Critical_analysis or into a new criticism section, but you'd have to show that it's different from the regular sexism that's out there. At this stage it'd be best to either PROD it or AfD it if you don't want to do a merge and redirect with the main hipster article. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 10:41, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Invitation to Adelaide Wikipedia Users Group meetings

Hi, in case you're not already aware of it, a group of Adelaide Wikipedians has been meeting on a monthly basis since April, with the aim of improving the scope and quality of articles on South Australian topics. We meet at UniSA's City West campus, and our 23 July meeting will have a guest speaker from the National Trust of SA.

This coming Sunday, 6 July, we will be holding our first Edit-a-thon. This will be an opportunity for new editors to come and learn either basic or more advanced editing from very experienced wikipedians, so if you know anyone who would like to get some practice, please let them know - and beginners will be very welcome. Cheers, Bahudhara (talk) 04:45, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
