I was trying to delete that page

Please help. you will see I am the user who originally created the page. My family now wishes it be deleted. I can't figure out how. Instead of reverting it back, can you delete it for me? Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atalaya78 (talk • contribs) 15:58, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

No, I'm sorry, pages can only be deleted for valid deletion reasons, such as the criteria for speedy deletion or there has been a deletion discussion. Rcsprinter (Gimme a message) 16:01, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Ok, I guess I'll try and figure out that process for this page that I originally created. Thanks for the "help." [sarc] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atalaya78 (talk • contribs) 16:06, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

RcSprinter, you could have been more helpful. Please take a look at WP:CSD#G7, and then see User talk:Atalaya78. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:21, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

3rd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment

Dude,

I am a pl comd in the 3rd Bn Royal Canadian Regiment and have been tasked with cleaning up our wikipedia page please do not delete my entries, I will cite accordingly I am still working out how to work with wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Stymiest (talk • contribs) 16:18, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I have reverted myself. I only saw the latest revision and didn't realise you'd being doing constructive things too. Rcsprinter (rap) 16:30, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

None of those edits were vandalism even if they were partly inappropriate because they contravene WP:BLP. If you believe yourself to be knowledgeable about Wikipedia policy, please consider discussing such major reverts with the editor, explaining what they did wrong, and pointing them to the relevant policies and guidelines. Please remember we're here to help new editors, and the Rollback tool must be used extremely carefully. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 16:35, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

removal of example.jpg

One of the tasks that I tend to do is to try to clear [1] because example.jpg should not be anywhere in mainspace. It looks like your bot does the same thing. I am grateful for the existance of this bot, but I'm curious as to whether it reverts anything with example.jpg in it, anything with the gallery that includes example.jpg or is it smart enough to leave things alone for a substantial otherwise OK edit that includes it.Naraht (talk) 17:13, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Well, first it generates the list of pages from the link you gave me, then it goes through the pages and looks at the latest revision. If it is blatant vandalism type testing, it rolls it back. If there is any constructive edits in there with it, it edits the page and removes the example file and any other test things that the edit bar creates. If it is in a gallery, it still goes on the WhatLinksHere page, so the bot will still look at it in the same way. If there is a proper picture on there as well, it will leave that but take out the example image. I hope this made it all clearer for you. Best, Rcsprinter (articulate) 17:17, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Sounds great! I'll keep checking the link for a while and if it stays pretty clear, I'll drop it from my manual list. Thank you very much for creating it.Naraht (talk) 17:22, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Captain R. Wilson Public School

Hi Rcsprinter. Thanks for helping out at AfD by doing non admin closures. Although the consensus may be clear, please be sure to read the entire debate to avoid missing anything. You may need to complete this. Thanks. --Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 02:14, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Right, thanks. Rcsprinter (rap) 13:43, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Fractal relist

Hi Rcsprinter123,

First of all, thanks for closing a number of AfDs! I did want to bring one closure to your attention though. Your relist at [2] was probably less than ideal. There were plenty of comments, just little consensus. It would probably have been better to close as NC or (perhaps) keep. There is really no way that article is going to get deleted given the comments thus far, so relisting isn't overly helpful IMO. I see others have commented on other closures of yours. Please don't take this note as an attack or saying "stop doing closures". In fact, quite the opposite. I'm trying to provide some direction to help you with future closures! Best of luck, Hobit (talk) 05:50, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Uh, OK. I usually let things have at least three relists before a closure if consensus is not clear; but I'll stop doing this if I have to. Thanks for letting me know. Rcsprinter (gossip) 13:45, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Again, no worries. See WP:RELIST for some guidance. Hobit (talk) 18:03, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Adrian Hilton

This was nominated under BLP1E but closed as keep. Since you provided no commentary, please can you explain why BLP1E did not apply in this case? Spartaz ^Humbug! 02:13, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

I've added some commentary to make it clear. Rcsprinter (talk) 13:43, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

If you find that BLP1E applies then the only possible outcome is delete as it trumps notability unless the degree of notability is extreme. Please don't close BLP AFDs. I don't think you are ready for them. You also haven't explained why you think notability trumps BLP1E. Spartaz ^Humbug! 19:31, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

For your information, I have voided your close and reclosed this as delete per BLP1E. If you disagree you are welcome to raise this at my talk page or go to DRV. Spartaz ^Humbug! 19:39, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Humm, I was just going to comment on this and give some pointers. (See EC below).

<ec>(talk page stalker) I'd say as a closer you could have said that there was consensus that the subject had sustained coverage and thus overcame the BLP1E ("The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources."). Or that the subject is known for a number of things (failed candidate, scandal, world record). NC was also an option. I think the best outcome would have been to keep with a strong suggestion that the BLP become an article about the event (as a few !voters suggested and BLP1E directs). Spartaz, how you you have closed it? Hobit (talk) 19:46, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

Frankly, the better thing to do would have been not to have touched this with a 20ft bargepole and left it to an admin to sort out the result. I have left an explanation for my close on the AFD and expanded on this on my talk page and its now 00:07 where I live so I'm away to bed. Spartaz ^Humbug! 20:08, 11 December 2011 (UTC)

dabba dabba don'ts (sigh)

For some reason, you are yet another editor who has gone in and changed some wikilinks from Horse gait#pace to Pacing (horse gait), which redirects back to Horse gait. Our version is more precise, and I don't know why dab solver keeps telling people to do this, but you are the 2nd or 3rd person to do this, I don't know if you know how to convince dab solver to fix this... (There really isn't enough to say about the pace to warrant its own article). You also were disambiguating "cinch" to saddle instead of girth (tack). Just a friendly request to be a little more careful. If you aren't sure of the nuance, put a "disambiguation needed" tag on this stuff and we horse people at WikiProject Equine will fix it ourselves if you'd prefer us to. Montanabw^(talk) 18:51, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Scripts are there to be blamed. I do check every edit, but it is a very fast thing and can be prone to mistakes. I also know nothing about horses, so... But I will try to be more careful. Rcsprinter (whisper) 19:08, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

Wish I knew what was up with Dabsolver because of the redirecting good links to redirects thing. It's got several people doing this, particularly the bit on the pace. Horse gallop, also at horse gait, is also a problem, but happens less often. Feel free to ask us for help any time, the WPEQ talk page is "the barn", linked at every article where we have the tag on the talk page. Montanabw^(talk) 20:50, 12 December 2011 (UTC)

From what I can see, it looks as though you just added it to the schedule without any discussion; I can find no trace of any nomination having to do with it. I have removed the motto and replaced it with another; please don't add mottos to the schedule without discussion from now on.

Declining Category request

Hi, I noticed that you declined the category request for Missionary Saints as seen here when there was a comment saying 'Please do not close this until the discussion has concluded.' and I believe the discussion however is NOT concluded. You also denied it as it was not request for a category, though infact it was.

Cheers, JDOG555^Talk 01:39, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Aagh, I am getting a bit sick of this! I was trying to close this one as not a category request, but for about the thousandth time recently a script has been to blame for something I've done. They're always borking and adding random text somewhere, not telling me it will in the preview, and me getting all the blame. Likely it just closed the first unclosed category request there. Thanks for your understanding. Rcsprinter (chatter) 12:03, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Chapel en le frith high school logo.JPG

Hi, I have reverted your edit to File:Chapel en le frith high school logo.JPG - Just because the image you originally uploaded was larger doesn't make it better. The image you originally uploaded was distorted and was not clear. I reduced the size of the image so the quality was better. If you look closely at the old image you can see particularly around the text that it isnt clear. This is because the image has been made to large. Also we dont need it to be a size above 100px because thats the sized used in the info box, there isnt a larger sized used on wikipedia. If you feel this is not correct please reply here before reverting again. Regards --JetBlast (talk) 05:02, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

In my opinion reversion was better, I can't really see it being distorted and it is not blurry around the text unless you zoom in really close. But I'll leave it where it is for now if you want. Rcsprinter (deliver) 12:06, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to the 2012 WikiCup

Hello, and welcome to the 2012 WikiCup! The competition officially begins at the start of 2012 (UTC) after which time you may begin to claim points. Your submission page, where you must note any content for which you wish to claim points, can be found here, and formatting instructions can be found in hidden comments on the page. A bot will then update the main table, which can be seen on the WikiCup page. The full rules for what will and will not be awarded points can be found at Wikipedia:WikiCup/Scoring. There's also a section on that page listing the changes that have been made to the rules this year, so that experienced participants can get up-to-date in a few seconds. One point of which we must remind everyone; you may only claim points for content upon which you have done significant work, and which you have nominated, in 2012. For instance, articles written or good article reviews started in 2011 are not eligible for points.

This round will last until late February, and signups will remain open until the middle of February. If you know of anyone who may like to take part, please let them know about the comeptition; the more the merrier! At the end of this round, the top 64 scorers will progress to the next round, where their scores will reset, and they will be split into pools. Note that, by default, you have been added to our newsletter list; we will be in contact at the end of every month with news. You're welcome to remove yourself from this list if you do not wish to hear from us. Conversely, those interested in following the competition are more than welcome to add themselves to the list.
