Need Deletion Advice

Dear Sir, I noticed your note on the William H. Kennedy and some editors think that his new publisihing house Mystic Valley Media in non-notable and should be deleted. The book covers are being displayed at an NYC art show and I think that makes the company note worthy. Please advise on this. Dawn Horse Warrior 14:53, 9 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

as renaming (tribe? people?), that's a mess right now too. See this discussion I started. You're totally right about the "other uses" tags and such. I'll see what I can do. And now, I'm really supposed to be working. :) Keep up the good work! Katr67 22:39, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

U-Pack Moving

Hello...can I ask why the U-Pack Moving article must be merged with the ABF Freight System, Inc. article? I realize ABF is the parent company, but both are branded separately. ABF is soley B2B and U-Pack is B2C. Someone trying to find information about a residential moving service (U-Pack) would likely not be interested in information on a freight carrier. Isn't the internal link in the U-Pack article sufficient?? Sincerely, Ashlee31 22:55, 30 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OFFICE is messy

Regarding your comment on Kelly's RFC. I'm not going to try defending her conduct, merely explain why WP:OFFICE is invariably messy. We have a lot of media attention on us. We're, what, the twelfth most visited site in the United States? We also have a lot of legal attention on us. I can't give away any of the details, of course, but at any given moment there are several people seriously threatening to sue the Wikimedia Foundation. These are not random idle threats of a pissed-off editor ... we're talking authors, photographers, celebrities, etc., who feel their copyrights are being violated, or feel that they are being libeled in their Wikipedia article. A lot of on-wiki actions are taken in regard to all of these various incidents, and you would probably not recognize a single one unless you had been involved in cleaning up after it, because it's almost always done on the down-low rather than under the auspices of WP:OFFICE. Why? Limiting exposure limits media exposure. The last thing we need is a situation blowing up. Legal issues simply cannot be taken care of transparently; every organization in existence handles the majority of complaints in private rather than out in the open, and Wikimedia Foundation is no different. There's simply more friction as a result, because we are almost all non-employess and almost always out-of-the-loop, but it's unavoidable. --Cyde Weys 19:45, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cetegories red links?

Per your edit summary on {{NCAATeamFootballSeason}}, you mention that it was creating a lot of red link categories. What's so bad about red link categories? I'm not challenging you, I'm ignorant if there's a policy or just a no-no or something. Any insight is appreciated. Thank you. --MECU≈talk 21:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Pokenum

You forgot to put the mprotected2 template within the <noinclude> tags! Disastrous, please fix. --WikidSmaht (talk) 14:45, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, I see I was making messes. I've rolled back the protection templates, and will reinsert them more carefully. Sorry to anyone for any messes I caused. - TexasAndroid 14:50, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: My messes

Ah, no problem; I've made the same mistake myself. (At least you didn't do it on something that was really high-use! ;-) Kirill Lokshin 16:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
