Deletion review of TV Fakery

Wrong attitude

Every other administrator lets things simmer a little longer than four days when an article is nominated for deletion. Not only do you move way too quickly, your comments, which consist of "The article was deleted" add to the impression that you really don't care one way or another. My guess is that you have the deletion job this week, that you consider it drudgery, and that you want to run the mop over the floor as quickly as possible. Please note that your name is on all of the "sudden" decisions today, and I think it should be brought to the attention of someone else. Mandsford 12:28, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Battle of Nuuanu

I have some books borrowed from the library that will help you with the article. Coincidentally, I'm doing research on the subject. Reply if you're interested! Sr13 23:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Sure, any help is appreciated. Palm_Dogg 23:35, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

The Web Boxing League

This article was deleted after discussion on notability. We have just been notified that boxingtalk.com is going to do an article on WeBL. This should be sufficient to establish notabiity under Misplaced Pages guidelines. Upon publication of that article, we would like to know if the article can be undeleted. --Art of Pugilism 11:04, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• Thanks for your reply. I was not asking for you to take my word for it. My question was whether you would undelete the article if after publication you felt that the boxingtalk.com article satisfied the guidelines. Boxingrec.com is independent and authoritative in the area of boxing and is a well established source of news, information and commentary on the sport. You mentioned that you needed to see evidence of notability through sources. Are you talking about boxingtalk.com proving to you that they are a notable source or that they can show that they researched the article? We are trying to give Misplaced Pages what it wants. A little guidance would be appreciated. --Art of Pugilism_Talk 17:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

• • To answer your question, no we do not at this point have multiple reliable sources. However, we have a lot of people associated with the sport of boxing that play the game (we actually have a couple of professional boxers who play) and while that is only anecdotal and not notable, it provides us with a lot of networking possibilities to get reliable independent publications interested in writing articles about the site. So the short answer is that we are working on it and we feel confident that we can come up with a few more in short order.--Art of Pugilism_Talk 19:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Please define "multiple" non trivial published works as a threshold concept to trigger undeletion. Would two be enough; three? As I mentioned in the deletion discussion, it is a real challenge for an online game to come up with the kinds of sources that Wik finds reliable. College professors are just not writing many peer-reviewed articles on games. Your help is appreciated. --Art of Pugilism_Talk 19:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Once again your reply is appreciated. In your reply, you did not address the issue above of how many sources we need to meet the minimum threshold for reinstating the article. Also, if it is reinstated, will we need to start from scratch or will the previous edits be retained? As to putting the cart before the horse, sometimes we don't know what we don't know until we learn by making a mistake. --Art of Pugilism_Talk 20:52, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Aikido Shinju-kai

Hi, I noticed you delete the article on Aikido Shinju-kai earlier this month. The reason given by 3 members of the community was that it was not a notable Aikido club. In fact, Aikido Shinju-kai is the largest Aikido organisation in Singapore with over 5000 members and 60 dojo in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and China. The reason that there was very little information being updated was because I was trying to rally more aikidoka from the regions to assist. If I had started it of wrongly, I would really appreciate your assistance in helping make the page more informative to both local, regional and international students to understand about Aikido and us.

WP:WARRIORS

Hi, I know you said that Elfin created WP:WARRIORS, but she seems to not have been on for a while and since you are the other co-founder, I thought I could just take this matter to you. The current template for WP: Warriors doesn't have a section where someone can put a rating for the article, which I think would be very useful. An example of a project template that does have a section for assesment is {{NovelsWikiProject}}. I wanted it to look something like that, but obviously it would have the Warriors WikiProject info on it. User :: Kevinalewis : /_(Desk) offered to help with making it (since I have pretty much no idea how), but he suggested I ask someone in charge first. I just didn't want to go and change the whole template without anyone knowing. Thanks,  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 01:55, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks a lot and my apologies with the pronouns.  Bella Swan_(Talk!) 11:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

DRV for List of Missions for 3-D Pinball Space Cadet

An editor has asked for a deletion review of List of Missions in 3-D Pinball Space Cadet. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. WaltCip 03:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Closing of AfD

Thanks for closing the AfD for Steve Moakler. We had also nominated his EP for deletion, The Weight of Words EP. Since it was co-nominated, but after the original nomination, does it still qualify for deletion under the consensus? If not, I will gladly relist it at AfD. Eliz81 05:58, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Wow! Thanks for taking care of that so fast! :) Eliz81 06:02, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

WWF Tuesday Night Titan

Is it possible for the history of WWF Tuesday Night Titan to be merged with Tuesday Night Titans? — Moe ε 06:38, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you! ^^ — Moe ε 06:45, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Orphan talk pages project

Hi there. I see you recently joined the orphan talk pages project at User:R3m0t/Reports. I just wanted to point out the update to the instructions I made here. Apologies if you already knew this. Thanks. Carcharoth 10:15, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Afds

Sorry, I forgot to substitute {{at}} once (or twice?) but now I think I'm on track. Carlossuarez46 18:11, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

A question: I note that you change the "remove this template" in closing Afd's to "ns:0", why is that done? Just trying to understand the nuances of this. Carlossuarez46 18:57, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

How does that script work? I installed it and nothing happens. What should happen and how should I notice that something is happening? Carlossuarez46 20:27, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

I see you re-added the script; thanks. But I still see no effects. Carlossuarez46 21:34, 25 July 2007 (UTC) I use Internet explorer. For a while, in doing CSD's a second box came up with a choice of speedy reasons, then that went away. Very strange. How do you bypass the cache? I may also try firefox. Carlossuarez46 21:37, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Eureka! I got it to work in firefox, then rebooted and now it works in IE as well. Something magical about a good ole reboot. Thanks for all your help on this I wish I were more technically inclined but alas I enjoy humanities more than science. Carlossuarez46 22:39, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for letting my article remain. Poetry cellar 01:06, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Proper deletion

thank you for doing cleanup of various garbage. However IMO you are not processing deletions properly: you are not removing links to deleted pages fom other articles. I noticed this for Famous groups of people and List of street gangs. One problem with this is that a red link left seen is an invitation to recreate the article, which is in vast majority cases is undesirable. So I'd suggest you to double check your deletion logs. `'Míkka 06:56, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

John 14:6

I see you closed this debate. It's funny how mankind has been asking for reliable sources pertaining to the Bible since it was first written. I suppose we are no different today. However, I would consider a sizable donation to your local charity, just to be on the safe side. Although...you only closed the debate - I began with a delete. Hmm. Maybe I should consider tithing... ;) the_undertow 06:58, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Unusual Adoption Request

Hi! Im an English teacher in Toluca Mexico (west of Mexico City). My Advanced B classes will be contributing to Misplaced Pages as the focus of their English course for Fall 2007. I am looking for people who would like to mentor my students (who will be working in groups) as they do the following assignments: Edit and article (adding a citation), writing a stub with a citation, translating an English language article for Spanish Misplaced Pages and for the final project, writing a full article for English Wiki (they can expand on the stub mentioned previously). What I would like to do is put a list of "mentors/adopters" on my talk page as a kind of short cut for my students, who have limited time to get things done. The semester begings Aug 6, but the real Misplaced Pages work wont begin until the beginning of Sept. If you would like to add your name to my list, please go to my talk page and add it there, perhaps with a short introduction, if you like.

Thank you!
