Unethical Behavior!

Nickeee, you may add as many comments as you want but your techniques used against this article including making unsubstantiated statements, defamation, editing other people comments, and editing or deleting article content to hide evidence against your delete vote against Wiki policies and harmfull. Miro.gal

Oh please. You got caught violating the rules and using wikipedia for self-promotion. If you really believe that article is worth saving give WP:RS. What are your ties to the institute? Nickieee 19:12, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Links

Hiya, sure. Here's the IIM-specific reference.[1] Here's the main website. [2] Look under the "Traffic rankings" tab. Google also has some useful featuers.[3] Cheers, Rklawton 19:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. Nickieee 19:57, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Shadowclan

Hi, ive added links to some of the articles where Shadowclan is featured and even a book that mentions us. There is actually another book on Ultima Online that mentions Shadowclan but i'm not sure how to demonstrate this. Bagginator 00:23, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Higher learning in Russia

Hi! There are 222 institutions offering higher learning only in Moscow, including 60 state universities.--Nixer 10:17, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Please temporarily stop adding {{Russian-university-stub}} which was created out of process. New stub types are discussed before creation at WP:WSS/P and are subject to criteria, which yours probably does not meet. I have listed it on the discovery page WP:WSS/D, where you're welcome to come opine. It's possible your stub type will be proposed for deletion at WP:SFD. - CrazyRussian talk/email 15:50, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

I did not know that I was just trying to be helpful and it seemed that Russian was one of the few countries that did not have a stub for its universities. Nickieee 18:36, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/International Institute of Management

Just because we've blocked Mr. Yones from making more legal threats on Wikipedia, please don't personally attack Mr. Yones as "running a questionable practice" -- you've proved your point and it's unnecessarily feeding the trolls. --  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  19:13, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Please remember that this is all about the article and not the institute itself. Wikipedia is not a soapbox. --  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  19:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I am still troubled by someone editing my talk page by deletion, rather than by adding a comment. I agree that the tone on the query was problematic, and by the way, I haves seen worse, but I took that into account in my response on the AfD page. I do not think that because someone has the philosphy of inclusion, that constitutes the bias that is referred to in the response above yours. --Beth Wellington 16:01, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Meat puppets is not acceptable and against policy, which is why it was reverted. I did not revert it. Nickieee 03:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

I read your comment on the AfD. What is wrong with asking an inclusionist to look at an article? By the way, there were three links, not one from the EU site. Personally, I feel like the tone of some of the delete votes was of a bullying nature; rather than improve an article and shorten it to the length its topic deserves, there are long debates, sometimes hostile, rather than constructive. This is why I sometimes find wiki frustrating: a lot more heat than light. My question in looking in the article was what was verifiable that would be a resource to someone who sees the institute and comes to Wikipedia for a neutral opinion, rather than having to search around on the web individually for several hours. What was the harm in keeping an article, if it was made objective. I'm curious, who made the final decision to delete, as in other cases I have seen an article kept as "no consensus?"--Beth Wellington 16:21, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Basicaly you are asking 1) what is wrong with breaking the rules, and 2) why should people with known sympathies not be petitioned for votes. Well, it is clear that only people who tend to keep articles were asked (20 people), and not a single one was of an opposing view (deletionist). Since the person's first ever edit and last ever edit was on the same AfD, and asked for inclusionist votes, it is clear that person wanted keep votes and not a serious debate.

This is laid out in the adminstrator's explanation at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/International Institute of Management. Nickieee 03:51, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Robert William Lawrence

I added the following comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert William Lawrence

• Keep. According to the article, Lawrence was Tasmania's first botanist. Sir William Jackson Hooker, the Regius Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow, named a species of flower ‘Correa lawrenciana’ in honour of Lawrence. -- TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 02:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Eduardo Reck Miranda

At Articles for Deletion, you thought the article Eduardo Reck Miranda worth keeping. I spent some time on it and it still could use a bit cleaning up. Given how Miranda was attacked and continually hurt by this attack being left on Wikipedia, would you mind spending a little time on Eduardo Reck Miranda to improve it somewhat? Thanks.-- Jreferee 19:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Shadowclan Sockpuppets

This article seems to have many sockpuppets supporting it and will not allow another AFD. "shadowclan" is an online gaming guild not notable. Bobbythebuilder 01:11, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of List of schools in Kazakhstan

The article List of schools in Kazakhstan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Redirect serves no useful purpose, and an encyclopaedic article could be written on Secondary schools in Kzhkstn.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Claritas § 10:38, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Template:Russian Federal Ministries has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for discussion page. — This, that, and the other (talk) 00:18, 29 January 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!

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.
