Thanks

Thanks for moving Abuse of Illegal Drugs. That's all I got to say lol.

Deleting redirects

Why didn't you delete them if List of Extraterrestrials in Dragon Ball was deleted for the same reasons? It was no more superfluous than these three I tagged: [1], [2], [3]. Lord Sesshomaru

Since you are a sysops, can you re-create the above deleted link? Just use one of those diifs as a copy/paste. I don't want to get one of those warnings or anything for restoring it. Lord Sesshomaru

Cherish Bound Question

There is a list of multilevel companies on Wikipedia to which I added an MLM company named Cherish Bound. There are links to several other MLMs. I didn't use marketing text. There are many others that ARE marketing that are on this list and haven't gotten deleted. Could you please tell me what I can do to write without getting deleted. This is not my business. I know the woman who owns it from a group of women entrepreneurs that I'm a part of. Please tell me what I can do to re-write so it doesn't get deleted, if that is possible. Do I need to site articles? As I said, none of the others on the list seem to have that. I know this isn't a democracy, but I wonder if it's possible to add this page so it will stay or if it's going to be deleted every time I try.

Hello. I did delete the article although the article was deleted twice for the same reason. We try to keep only articles about companies meeting our guideline for inclusion. Now it is of course true that there are articles on Wikipedia that do not meet these guidelines and I'd be more than happy to submit these for deletion as well but as I'm sure you can understand, it's not exactly easy to keep track of 2 million articles. Because material on Wikipedia should be based on reliable sources we must limit ourselves to subjects on which such sources exist. Best, Pascal.Tesson 17:55, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Pascal. I note you removed the speedy tag from the above article, even though it was created by a (twice!) banned editor. As this abusive editor, though banned, has created literally hundreds of sock-puppets to evade his ban, I strongly feel that this article needs deletion regardless of its merit. Doing otherwise, I feel, sends the message that his persistence pays off and WP:BAN pretty-much concurs on this. Thoughts? - Alison ☺ 10:07, 3 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Popups still giving up-to-date user contributions.

I saw your comment on AIV regarding popups. I had been wondering if I was only person who had noticed that popups were still somehow getting through to the database :O) FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 02:02, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

(reply) Purely guess-work on my part, but I think there must be a problem with the scripts used to generate the Recent Contributions pages. Page histories are working fine, so contributions are being recorded somewhere on the database (with the obvious comment that if they weren't, nothing would be working :O) ), so I think it's a glitch with the scripts dealing with Recent Contributions. I have a mental image of a lot of techies rushing about and having their weekends spoilt.FlowerpotmaN (t · c) 02:15, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My popups are still working here, too. Handy, that :) - Alison ☺ 02:24, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

John Goodman and Ethics

The misguided and abusive comment you sent me concerning my edit to the John Goodman article would ordinarly not suprise me--all too often in our world individuals act in a manner lacking in both reason and character; however, the fact that you are a professor and still made such a greivous error is somewhat of a suprise and a disapointment. How can you honestly consider that reasoned revision to be vandalism? Either you are wholly unfamiliar with the meaning of the term, or you simply have no regard for decency (or at least our common language). The revision I made was factually correct. Indeed, indisputably so. As I stated, John Goodman is obese, and of the American overweight population, is without question considered to be one of the most talented and beloved. Do you deny these facts? Or do you simply wish for wikipedia to be a place devoid of colour and character? True, my wording is not traditional. But surely you cannot be so obtuse as to hold edits to such an archaic and, dare I say, lifeless standard. Further, America has a long tradition of hefty comedians--offering an observance in light of this fact seems only logical. It is an enhancement of an otherwise insufficient introduction to the article. That you would call this vandalism, and threaten to revoke my privileges, speaks of either a small or an angry mind. While my words may not change your unfortunate stance or alter your fuure behavior, I can at least take solace in knowing that I am right and that, perhaps, on some level, you know this to be true.

revert on User:Qyd/Temp

Could you please allow the anon testing in User:Qyd/Temp. I can only log in on the very slow secure server, an have to contribute logged off is if want any speed. Thanks for your concern. --Qyd 14:46, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cheers for reverting that vandalism to my talk page and blocking that guy. Much appreciated. Will (aka Wimt) 16:04, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

YechielMan's RFA

Thank you for participating in either of my unsuccessful requests for adminship. Although the experience was frustrating, it showed me some mistakes I was making, and I hope to learn from those mistakes.

Please take a few minutes to read User:YechielMan/Other stuff/RFA review and advise me how to proceed. Best regards. Yechiel Man 21:30, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

nop

If you're sure there is no reason for open proxies, you may want to add to the discussion Jimbo started at WT:NOP#A general statement. In spite of the policy saying "no" open proxies, we used to softblock Tor; this has only very recently changed. Also there is another consideration which I have tried to raise at WT:RFA#ArmedBlowfish removed, that anyone running a Tor node is now completely prevented from editing Wikipedia, even if they are not editing through the Tor network. Since providing anonymity to those who need it is a valuable public service, and many Wikipedia users are also privacy advocates, we may lose a lot by segmenting these two communities.

I am interested in the possible problems of paranoid admins. I've not seen what damage paranoid admins have done, though, so it's only a hypothetical to me. Do you have examples?

As you can see I regard this as an important discussion. But, I've recently been chastised for discussing this too much, so if I overstep your patience please let me know (gently). ··coel acan 00:45, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for clarifying about paranoia. I certainly can see how a trench warfare kind of paranoia would be bad for an admin. I'm not sure if this is the kind of paranoia that AB has. If it's "I'm paranoid about me" then it seems the consequences for the rest of us would be quite minimal. But "I'm paranoid about this delicate encyclopedia" would be problematic. I think there may be questions for the candidate that would probe this, and give a clearer picture of the scope of AB's paranoia. I'll try to devise one (or I'll crib one or two from old RFAs).

I'm actually not worried about a user like AB getting past autoblock by becoming an admin. It's certainly unorthodox, but the merits of this particular user make me confident where I might not be for another. AB has been autoblocked before, such as here, during a conversation we had regarding Brandt theatre. AB has always just waited out previous autoblocks, accepting them as necessary. This has become impossible now, after last month's hardblock crackdown on all Tor nodes. AB's options are now exhausted, with the exception of gaining the ipblock-exempt permission that admins have. WJBscribe and ^demon, both from MedCom as well, are eager to get AB back in action at MedCom, and see no other way than RFA. I trust their judgment and I already trusted AB.

I do not need the kind of anonymity that Tor offers, but I believe many people do. I agree with everything said here, I'm impressed by real-life examples like the US navy, and I always drag out this old standby. I cannot know for sure, but I expect that there are people alive today in China and Saudi Arabia who would not be alive without services like Tor. I disagree with some of the anonymous musings of the Federalist Papers, but I do believe that there is no such thing as free speech without freedom from retaliation, which necessitates the option of anonymity. If AB cannot in good conscience turn off that Tor exit node, then I cannot and will not demand it. Then the options placed before me are "no Armedblowfish" or "admin Armedblowfish". If no one is forthcoming with some good reason why this user should not be an admin, I am inclined to support. Some people have hinted about annoying behavior, but I haven't seen diffs. I will put forward a question to probe the scope of paranoia, as in the first paragraph of this reply, since that may be important. ··coel acan 04:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The information written about Dean Duggan on this web site is incorrect & abusive. If this is not removed i will not hesitate to contact my legal adviser & start legal proceedings to sue yourselves.

Congrats

Congrats on becomeing an admin. I know you will do good for Wikipedia!

I'm trying to clean this article up, but someone named CurvyBabe keeps reverting. Do you have any interest in jumping in? Alexwoods 22:01, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merci bien Pascal! I'm trying to forestall future grievances by including the article in the references section. Alexwoods 22:05, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My RfA ...

Hi. Thanks for supporting my request for adminship. It was successful and I am now an admin. If I can ever be of help, please let me know. Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 05:46, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: [4]. After a few seconds of blankly staring at the message, followed by a minute of uncontrollable laughter, I moved my ass onto the job [5], where I hope it will firmly remain for a long time to come. After all, I am an administrator. Nothing can stop me now! I am invincible! I ... whoa, that's a big backlog. Time to roll up the sleeves, I guess. ;) Cheers, Black Falcon ^(Talk) 06:03, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip ... that ought to save a lot of time and cut down on errors. -- Black Falcon ^(Talk) 06:12, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: RFA

I don't think you even gave me a chance, I think all of you admins and members are so stuck up. Why delete something that I want to do. I think your admin should be stripped. I think you should let us memeber how are going to apply worry about whether we are going to make or not. so next time don't be so polite to do anything to my request page...--Coallen 13:45, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted the Iue5 page

This is not a website I was reffering to, it's an online community. We are a group of 4 teams and many community members that get together, play together, and help each other out. I've posted the webpage as a source so you can check. Please contact me if you aren't going to put it back up

Re: Deletion

Thanks! Just wanted to get rid of stuff I don't use anymore. Wikihermit ^{(Talk • HermesBot)} 23:47, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very interested in being an admin. Your right though, my account is too new. I figure I'd go for RfA before the new year. --Wikihermit ^{(Talk • HermesBot)} 23:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

RfA can be nearly impossible even if you've been here two years (^_^). --Wikihermit ^{(Talk • HermesBot)} 00:19, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

True. Sometimes I think RfA should be a vote count, but if a good editor isn't like for some reason, it won't pass. Other times a good editor won't pass even with the majority of editors in favor. --Wikihermit ^{(Talk • HermesBot)} 00:30, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion, Lei Lani Towers

Lei Lani units are privately owned, not sold or rented, this article would link to the Perdido Key article, if this article is in violation shouldn't Flora-Bama also be deleted? Please reconsider, I can rewrite it easily

I withdraw the request Joey Eads 00:55, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hitachi ads

Thanks for your quick action in deleting these. I was pretty sure there could be no dispute that these were advertisements. You'd be surprised the things you run into repairing dab links.RobDe68 02:42, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion, New Ladder To Success

I cannot believe you deleted the information about a great resource (New Ladder To Success)for women. Where else can a professional woman obtain free career advice, ideas and be involved in an open online community? There are so many non-profit organizations articles on Wikipedia, why not one more?

RfA

Thanks very much!--Rambutan (talk) 16:28, 7 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Article in need of re-writing. Please help.

Mr. Tesson, I would like to ask you for your help. I would like to re-write the article which I wrote about Hitachi Construction Machinery. It was deleted for reasons refering to blatant advertising. I am a little puzzled, as I looked at other companies' articles on Wikipedia for inspiration. Many of those articles included much of the same information that I did, ie. introduction, history, board of directors, sales, products and manufacturing plants. As I presume these are relevant to the description of a company, and okay by wiki-standards (since other pages have this exact same content), I would appreciate some suggestions on making my article more Wiki-friendly. I worked hard on researching my topic and spent many hours trying to make it interesting. I understand that there is a need for regulations and I would like to abide by these, but I'm having a bit of a hard time as I am new to contributing to Wikipedia. Thank you for your time. Robko71.

My RfA

Dear Pascal.Tesson, thanks for your support in my recent RfA, it was, however, unsuccessful. I am not the type of editor to be disheartened by such a result, and have gained much experience. If you have anything to contribute by way of improvements or comments, please don’t hesitate to tell me.

I will run again. Until then, Cheers, Dfrg.msc 08:35, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kildare Town

Hi Pascal, I'm afraid I don't understand why you removed the tag for speedy deletion from Kildare Town. In order to avoid confusion I propose to move the artcle curretnly at Kildare to Kildare Town since it deals with the town while County Kildare deals with the county. Kildare should be a disambig page. I, however, can't move Kildare-->Kildare Town while the latter is occupied by a redirect. Yours Joe Byrne -- Talk -- Contribs - :ga: - :fr: - - 14:12, 8 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm so disappointed

I'm really sad that I didn't become an administrator, it seems like people judged me and were pretty mean about it. I almost wanted to cry when I saw some opposition. Those who opposed my adminship seemed really haughty and nasty about it, like they have something I don't. Next time, I would like to see politeness, and thanks for the message anyway.

Rfa

Do you think a run at RfA would be premature? By this RfA(at least for now), the editors seemed to be more "tolerant" of users with lower edit counts... Wikihermit ^{(Talk • HermesBot)} 00:36, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply. I torn as to whether to wait for a smoother RFA like you've said, or go for it now. Thanks! --Wikihermit ^{(Talk • HermesBot)} 04:59, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism on Country, Carrie Underwood, and Hustle

Terribly sorry about this. It was my 12-year-old daughter. She has been appropriately chastised and won't do it again. I'm going to set up an account to try to prevent this in the future.

"IBM REXX" RFD

FYI, I've proposed the deletion of the IBM REXX redirect on WP:RFD. Since you objected to my recommendation for speedy deletion, I thought you'd want to know. I don't buy the search argument, as REXX comes up as item #4 if you search for IBM REXX. RossPatterson 00:05, 11 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you

Mr. Tesson, Thank you for taking the time to reply to my questions about the Hitachi Construction Machinery article. Though I must admit that I'm a little disappointed in the current situation of this article, I have no one to blame but myself. You have been very honest and clear with me and my questions. I appreciate your fairness and frankness. Merci beaucoup, User:Robko71
