AFD
Cheers for that - I noticed it hadn't done it - had written a nice summary and all! You beat me too it (but at least now I can add consensus to the AfD discussion! Thanks again. Booglamay (talk) 18:25, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Aashritha - Tagged for speedily deletion
Hi, while I was creating the article on Aashritha, I got a message on my page that the content has been tagged for speedily deletion. The reason stated was that this article is about a person and/or organization, who is doubted to be notable enough to be in wikipedia.
I have added the 'hangon' on my page. However I am not sure if it is at right place.
Dear sir, I would like to say sometimg about Aashritha. This is a not-for-profit group formed by some friends and they all are working towards child education for poor and needy people in India. I have recently joined the cause and I thought that to create awareness and spread the good message about Aashritha, I should use the Misplaced Pages platform. I am not sure if Aashritha conforms the wiki standards of being notable or not. Please check the url http://sites.google.com/site/aashrithagroup/Aashritha for details on Aashritha.
I reuqest you to allow the Aashritha page on wiki, and I also confirm that contents included are fully correct and I am not intending to promote the group or community via wikipedia. --Sandeep.jgupta (talk) 21:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

WP:HAU, Status, and you!
As you may know, the StatusBot responsible for maintaining the status of the Highly Active Users was taken offline. We now have a replacement in the Qui status system. This semi-automatic system will allow you to easily update your status page found at Special:Mypage/Status which the HAU page code is now designed to read from. If you are already using Qui (or a compatible system) - great! - no action is needed (other than remembering to update your status as necessary). If not, consider installing Qui. You can also manually update this status by changing the page text to online, offline, or busy. While it is not mandatory, the nature of HAU is that people are often seeking a quick answer from someone who is online and keeping our statuses up-to-date will assist with this. Note if you were previously using your /Status page as something other than a one-word status indicator, your HAU entry may have been set to "status=n" to correct display issues. Please clear this parameter if you change things to be "HAU compatible". Further questions can be raised at WT:HAU. This message was delivered by xenobot 23:00, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
How do you make a new proposal?
Hi. I want to make a proposal to change the Misplaced Pages sidebar (that bar on the left). I want them to add a link to Special:NewPages right below the link to Special:RecentChanges. Where do I go to make this proposal?
SunDragon34 (talk) 22:54, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
- Your best bet is WP:Village pump (proposals). If you read/ skim through the page, you can see how proposals are made. Generally, someone suggests an idea and the community weighs in on it. It's a great way to gauge consensus and get an idea of how other people feel. If you do make a proposal, let me know and I'll throw in my $.02 as well. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 03:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)
A propos The Mana World article deletion proposal
Not to be rude, but the article was created 10 minutes ago, and it can be seen in the edit history that I am currently working on it. Your rush into putting deletion template on this article and the reason of doing so only shows that you are not an RPG gamer, nor you are well informed about open source games development, otherwise you would underestand that the The Mana World project well established is a notable software, especially in games development for UNIX-like operating systems. We have quite alot of "wannabe" administrator on the Misplaced Pages, who drags many possible contributors away, therefore I would like to ask you to not be one of them. Thank you for your consideration. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platyna (talk • contribs) 18:37, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
The Mana World articled deletion 2
And the nomination for an award of one of biggest open source development sites is not enought for you? As well as the fact this game is included in mainstream Linux distributions such as Fedora and Ubuntu and many fan pages over the Internet?
You are NOT even letting me to finish up the article. I think I should take some actions to report this to the administrator.

Passing comment
Please could you refrain from add SPA links to peoples comments, just because they have not edited any other articles since there account was created it, does not mean that the account was created for the sole purpose of making edit for a single purpose. It's quite insulting in fact, since I did create my account last year due to an completely unrelated event. It also could be seen as bias when people take into account other peoples views around wikipedia. Of course, yes people will create account for this sole purpose, probably for a pokemon article etc but you should use discretion in other cases. Do feel free to remove this comment without response though. Quiche on a leash (talk) 20:35, 14 July 2008 (UTC)
Re:Mana World AfD
Generally, if something isn't speedy material (or something that's not yet should be prodded immediately), then let it sit for a few days and see whether it can be adequately expanded. Newer editors may treat an AfD on their newly created article as an insult, and thus filing an AfD quickly in this manner may be a bit bitey. That said, if you're pretty certain that the topic is non-notable, then keep track of it for a few days and then feel free to prod/AfD it after that. I know that patrolling new pages gives one the feeling that they have to get that article or it will slip through the cracks, but give it some time. Something I remember doing in these cases was to tag the article using WP:FRIENDLY and come back to it after a while. In any case, kudos for your mature and thoughtful response asking for clarification on my views in a case where I know others would have a much more negative response.

Vandalism on Bangkok
Please inspect the Bangkok page. Someone has been vandalizing this and has inserted a personal letter at the top. I attempted to correct this, however, you seem to have immediately reverted the change - restoring the vandalism. It doesn't matter to me who fixes it, but it needs to be fixed.

A few questions
Hi. A few things...
Twinkle works great! Thank you for recommending it to me. However, I do have one question about it. Whenever I perform an action or rollback with Twinkle, it stops before reloading the page. I always have to reload the page manually. Other than this, Twinkle works without any problem. Do you know how to fix this?
Second, where do you go to learn how to spruce up your user page with tables and a nice layout? The code looks a little complex.
Third, I'm a little confused about bots. Can any user have a bot that, for example, patrols for vandalism? What kinds of things can I make a bot to do? Is there a place where I can go to have one made for me?
Thanks for your help. SunDragon34 (talk) 22:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm glad you're enjoying it! I can't claim to be any sort of expert about Twinkle, but there some things I've noticed. There are certain tags that will cause Twinkle to stop reloading the page. I've noticed it when I've added PROD tags and G8 (speedy deletion) tags. I'm not sure why it does that.
- The tables and things on my user page have mainly been stolen from other people's user pages. If you copy and paste the relevant code section (for example, the welcome message at the top of this page) to your page and change my username to yours, it should work perfectly. My advice is to find someone's user page you admire and start there.
- Finally, I really have no clue about how to design bots. I do some things about them: 1. They do require coding to create. I almost flunked computer science one, so that threw me off of bots right away. 2. Bots require approval before they go live. Basically, bots need to show that they're not going to cause chaos once they start up. Sort of like Skynet, but with less potential for explode-y stuff. 3. I know of certain users who have created bots (User:Soxred93, User:slakr) who may be willing to help you create a bot of your own. If you look at the user pages for the bots, you can usually find a way to message their creator.
- I hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions. Cheers! TN‑X-Man 22:45, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
Concerning your comment on The Mana World AFD
I don't think that you have a grudge against this project, I think you are (ab)using Misplaced Pages's procedures and rules for sole purpose of ego building. The manner you have established and then led the aforementioned AFD only shows it clearly. I think you should reconsider your attitude in this matter, since I do still think Misplaced Pages serves the purpose of information and knowledge not for social advancement of particular persons or their ego. "I hope we can work through this peacefully and best of luck." I think being WP:FRIENDLY doesn't mean to put a knife in one's back with a broad smile. Putting my work to AFD so quickly onkly has shown how much will you have to work with me "peacefully" and help me to improve my work. --Platyna (talk) 16:17, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- I'm sorry that you think that way. I contribute here not for my ego, but just for the satisfaction of helping the project. As for The Mana World's AfD, I have said several times that I would be willing to withdraw the nomination upon the addition of reliable sources. I was not able to find any on my own and I have invited you (as someone involved with that project with potentially more info) to add sources. I hope this helps you understand where I'm coming from. Thanks. TN‑X-Man 17:07, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Then withdraw it, since I provided enought of reliable sources of notability. Including recent one. And you were already explained by several persons, that you did wrong, so now finaly admit it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platyna (talk • contribs) 17:16, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- I think this is where our basic disagreement exists. You have added several sources you believe are reliable. I believe they are not reliable. This is one of reasons I brought the article to AfD. I don't think that you and I would ever agree on whether your sources are enough to support the article, so it is up to the community consensus to decide. TN‑X-Man 17:21, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- http://dag.wieers.com/rpm/packages/themanaworld/ Where it reads:
"The game aims to be a unique place for people to interact not only by fighting each other but to play life, form a community within the community, or just simply chat. Although the game is never-ending and a linear story cannot be applied, it should have enough background to describe and predefine tribes, kingdoms, and the environment overall. Fullfilled quests should lead to certain events depending on them being solved. Quests should also encourage teamwork."
It is a review on popular site, made by objective and prominent person.
All your objectives were fulfilled and you will still not admit a mistake.

(outdent) I'll bring up the same point I brought up at the AfD. This paragraph seems to be copied and pasted from the official description of the game. It does not appear to be any sort of third party review. A copy/paste of the description is not a reliable source. TN‑X-Man 17:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- How about Strategy Informer, RPGdx (see bottom for review) ... and that's without having any previous knowledge of this product. BMW(drive) 18:20, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Well, X-man is complaining people are copying decriptions from the official website. While this is what most of software catalogs maintainers do. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Platyna (talk • contribs) 18:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- Platyna, please always assume good faith (and always sign your posts on discussion pages with 4 tilde's (4 x ~). As I said on the AfD, it exists on hundreds of thousands of computers around the world, it's notable, and I would say that you don't even need an independant review based on that. However, the two links I provided above are 2 separate sites with at least some review. There should be no further discussion needed about notability or referencability. BMW(drive) 18:42, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
- I am sorry, I do usualy not get involved in stupid edit wars, however as I stated on AfD I feel that I have more than one game article to defend here. And it is hard to assume good faith after such a speedy AfD and TN-X-Man's attempts to degrade almost everyone who were voting on behalf of article, as well as clearly suggesting I am making SPA's, and posting edit counters that are completly unrelated to the discussion. I find it low and I am therefore unable to assume good faith of person doing such things.Platyna (talk) 18:53, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
