I'm sorry =( I don't see the big fuss about a page with a genuine meaning. if we remove the attack, can we keep the page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haidoor (talk • contribs) 23:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
re page "Remember to rewind"
editI removed the speedy tag from Remember to Rewind. It said patent nonsense, but the page was not patent nonsense. See WP:CSD#G1. There may be some other criterion under which it can be deleted. --Coppertwig (talk) 03:16, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
This entry on the popular econometric software was deleted without any arbitration at all. Meanwhile the worthy list of big bust pornstars is kept. Seriously guys - who appoints the editors here. Can someone dig up the article and replace it.
Thanks for your reply - unfortunately once an article is deleted its pretty hard to follow what actually happened. Can you help me ressurrect the article - sorry about the big but pornstar jibe ... but you know how it is when you're frustrated and mad.
Hi, could you consider withdrawing your speedy deletion request as per the references for notability now provided? TreveXtalk 03:25, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Mistake
editThe article is still alive it was just moved to Nintendo DS vs. PlayStation Portable console war --Kingrock (talk) 02:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
I removed the speedy tage because the definition of patent nonsense is as follows:
- Total nonsense, i.e., text or random characters that have no assignable meaning at all. This includes sequences such as "rtmhtyhjjflbhjoglhjgblvjh\[\\\\98kjt9ykbitiof,kkc", in which keys of the keyboard have been pressed with no regard for what is typed.
- Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no reasonable person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever.
Neologisms are most certainly meaningful and sensible. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
- No problem. IT's a common misconception, but a stickler of an admin will not delete with an improper cat. I changed to {{db-test}} for the user's first article. It also provides a notification so they can read and reconsider their subject matter. Slippery? Maybe... - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 16:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Nonsense tags
editActually prior to a few of the edits, that page was nonsense, with very little content in there. Nonsense is hard to describe, although you are right, perhaps little or no content might be a better suggestion. I really wish there was a CSD tag for articles that "Obviously are a joke, but don't fit any other criteria" :-) Wildthing61476 (talk) 14:39, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
That's the time I'd just ignore the rules and use some common sense. Most of the admins realize that I'd think. Wildthing61476 (talk) 14:45, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
I went back and added a couple of (referenced)lines for notability. Not sure if that will help. Someone else removed the speedy deletion tag Limasbravo (talk) 16:23, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

PSN
editIt had that tag because before it was known the same on as, PSN, but now redirects to PlayStation Network, thats why it wasent on the disambiguation page. Fallen Angel 22:26, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- No prob ;) Fallen Angel 22:30, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
International goals
editThanks for your message. I've seen it discussed before here at WP:FOOTY, where the international goals sections seem to have not been approved of. But you could certainly open a new discussion about the topic. Cheers, Mattythewhite (talk) 21:07, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
Europa League
editThe note that was added was factually incorrect. The note said that the berth would be awarded to the 6th place finisher in the Premier League if Manchester United qualify for the Champions League. That's not true. Manchester United could finish 5th and qualify for the Europa League play-off round. In that case the berth could be awarded to the 6th or 7th placed team depending on who wins the FA Cup. The fact is that there are too many permutations to convey effectively. The simplest thing is to say that Manchester United are eligable to play in the Europa League next season, which is a factually accurate statement that encompases all other possibilities. If Manchester United win the freaking quintuple, the validity of that statement remains, though obviously Manchester United would elect to defend their Champions League crown. I also think that if we add a note for Manchester United, then we should add one for every cup winner, as the validity of the note for every club wouldn't change as long as you substitute "cup winner" for Manchester United and change "6th place" to whatever place is applicable. A note that is applicable for 50+ teams is unnecessary. The fact is, it is a well known fact that if you qualify for Europe twice, you're obviously going to take the berth that gets you into the furthest stage of the more prestegious competition. This level of explanation is unnecessary. Also, please refrain from characterizing your position as having not even been addressed. At numerous points I questioned the need of a note in addition to the need to include Manchester United in the article. -- Grant.Alpaugh 23:11, 6 March 2009 (UTC)
- I appreciate your comments, and have no personal animosity towards you at all. I fear that you mistook my comments as being about you, and not Kingjeff (talk · contribs), with whom I've had some history dating back more than a year if memory serves. Anyway, I strongly disagree with your position about the article, but that is life, and I look forward to discussing the issue in the future. I also look forward to working with you in a way that is in keeping with the spirit of the project for quite some time to come. Have a good one. -- Grant.Alpaugh 23:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

editHello, I'm KGV. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Geoff Shreeves because it didn't appear constructive. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks! KillaGorillaV (Talk) 03:58, 13 May 2013 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
