Thank you

For sending me such cheery messages. I still laugh about Chips and dip and how many people die during the superbowl playoffs double-dipping. The president of your fan club,

Introduction of Linkspam

I see you are an upstanding editor, so I AGF you are not aware of point 13 under WP:LINKNO because you just copy pasted general site links into a whole list of Miss Earth articles, a topic filled with dedicated promotional content and link building editors. Significant effort has gone into reducing the fancruft and Linkspam in these articles. Legacypac (talk) 10:37, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

@Legacypac: I added the official website to External link sections, which are directly related to the topic. LINKNO states in part that "sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject" should not be linked, but an official website is highly correlated. Adding official website links in articles is rather common practice on Misplaced Pages. North America 10:43, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

The specific subject of the articles is the 2007 or whatever edition of the pageant, not Miss Earth generally. You will have a difficult time finding much detail about past pageants because the organization does not care to host that, they use Misplaced Pages for that. The fact you posted the exact same link about a dozen times should indicate these were determined to be different subjects. The presence of these general links incorrectly gives the appearance of sourcing to these pages. See below. Legacypac (talk) 11:06, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

Sites that are only indirectly related to the article's subject: the link should be directly related to the subject of the article. A general site that has information about a variety of subjects should usually not be linked from an article on a more specific subject. Similarly, a website on a specific subject should usually not be linked from an article about a general subject. If a section of a general website is devoted to the subject of the article, and meets the other criteria for linking, then that part of the site could be deep linked.

• @Legacypac: I don't view adding a single external link to an article for an official website as linkspam. I see what you're saying, but in this case, I view the addition of the link as beneficial to Misplaced Pages's readers. Also, said linkage is quite acceptable per WP:ELYES #1, "Misplaced Pages articles about any organization, person, website, or other entity should link to the subject's official site, if any." Now, if I were to add, say links from this search, that would be a different story. Ultimately, per WP:ELYES, adding an official website link is just not linkspam.

Unlocking Bart Baker for creation

The article name, Bart Baker, is currently locked from creation. I have a brand new article for it and wish to move it to the main space. Unfortunately, because of this, I can't, so may you please unblock it for me? Thanks! By the way, my article is in my sandbox, User:FiendYT/sandbox. FiendYT 07:03, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi @FiendYT: Articles for Bart Baker have been deleted many times, including twice at AfD (1, 2), so I can't simply circumvent consensus. Click on this red link for Bart Baker for a summary of article deletions that have occurred.

I recommend that you submit this to Articles for creation, where your submission can be reviewed. An easy way to do this is to place {{Userspace draft}} atop the draft page and then select the "Submit your draft for review" link. North America 17:59, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Question

How was my rationale not valid? I've nominated a few articles with that rationale and everyone agreed with me. Its short and to the point. I think you made a mistake. Koala15 (talk) 16:59, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Hi @Koala15: The nomination you provided at the AfD discussion, "the list is trivial", is subjective, and essentially provides a WP:TRIVIAL and WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC rationale. For example, see the definition of "trivial" in Oxford Dictionary, "Of little value or importance." The nomination does not provide qualification for deletion per any of Misplaced Pages guidelines or policies (e.g. such as WP:NOT). Feel free to renominate the article using a valid rationale for deletion. WP:NOT has several rationales. North America 17:46, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

It is a valid rationale, your just misunderstanding it. You closed it like I was a new editor or something. I've nominated plenty of articles for deletion and no one ever closed it like this. Koala15 (talk) 19:43, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

@Koala15: I disagree, per my rationale above. Perhaps you should renominate the article with a valid deletion rationale, such as WP:INDISCRIMINATE, which is part of the Misplaced Pages:What Misplaced Pages is not policy page. This would be quite easy to perform, and would probably take only around a minute of your time. Also, your rationale was ambiguous, consisting of four words, so sure, it can be easily misinterpreted. North America 19:47, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

Everyone on here knows what i mean by "the list is trivial", I doubt it would have been misinterpreted. Koala15 (talk) 19:55, 7 January 2016 (UTC)

@Koala15: Consider using objective qualification describing why you perceive the list as trivial, rather than the subjectively-worded, open-ended statement you presented therein ("the list is trivial"). Seriously consider incorporating a guideline or policy in your rationale to further qualify it. North America 15:47, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

Piff AFD

You have 6 comments in this AFD - that's a bit heavy handed. Let this be a democratic process and don't try to undermine all comments that don't agree with your perspective. In the greater scheme, the process is far more important than this article. The nave bar will stay at the bottom of the page as others comment. Wiki-psyc (talk) 00:25, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

There are no limitations in commentary at AfD discussions, nor should there be. Please keep in mind that Misplaced Pages is not a democracy. Otherwise, carry on, and happy editing. North America 00:27, 8 January 2016 (UTC)

January 2016

Hello, I'm Legacypac. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Misplaced Pages, it's important to be mindful of the feelings of your fellow editors, who may be frustrated by certain types of interaction, such as your addition to List of classic rock songs. While you probably didn't intend any offense, please do remember that Misplaced Pages strives to be an inclusive atmosphere. In light of that, it would be greatly appreciated if you could moderate yourself so as not to offend. Thank you. Legacypac (talk) 13:33, 12 January 2016 (UTC)
