A question regarding some articles you deleted a while ago

Hi Gogo Dodo, there is a couple of articles on German rugby players you deleted just over 2 years ago. I've recreated two of them but wonder whether they still qualify for deletion. Can you let me know before I create the rest? Its the players on the following template:

{{Germany rugby union squad 1900 Summer Olympics}}

Possible sock of BrianTheVillain123

Hi! I noticed that a new user, BrianFairplay10 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log), has been making edits that resemble ones that BrianTheVillain made under his old account. Example: Bclrocks's edit and BrianFairplay's edit. Could be a coincidence, but the username also seems kind of suspicious too. I'd just thought I'd ask you what you thought before I opened a SPI or anything. Cheers, -- Meäghân  talk  13:12, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Question about "The Serenaders" page deletion

Heya - I'm totally fine with our band page on "The Serenaders" being deleted, but I was wondering what we needed to do to be significant. I read the bylaws about proving we're "notable" but are there any ideas on how we do become notable? If we have a published piece of music? Reviews in publications? Any help would be greatly appreciated - I've been a big fan of wikipedia for years, making edits wherever I can find time to help, and I've always dreamed of having a band on there. I now have a successful and professional band so I'm looking to get us documented on here. Thanks!

Semi or full protection?

Hi Gogo Dodo. Did you mean to do this? Two registered editors, Badkneesbear and SouthBuffaloRules, plus one IP editor, 80.195.95.86, have been engaged in a content dispute. I have successfully persuaded the two registered users to begin discussing matters on the talk page but the IP won't say a word, just keeps reverting. I hope to facilitate some sort of an agreement to clean up the article and source it properly, and I was rather pleased to have gotten the two registered editors talking. I think that full protection is overkill at this time and might be counterproductive. Could we try semi and see if things work out? Thanks. Rivertorch (talk) 06:40, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

I think I would prefer to leave it as full protection. I think the full protection is best as it prevents either side from making any edits and having the perception that the anonymous IP is in the wrong since they are locked out of editing while the registered users are not. Full protection implies a neutral stand on who is right or who is wrong. I noticed that you have been trying to mediate the issue. I'm glad that have and wish you the best with it. Hopefully the issue will be resolved soon. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:47, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for replying so quickly. My thought was that the two registered users' willingness to use the talk page justified extending AGF a little further to them, but I'll trust your judgment. Hopefully some proposed text can be drafted on the talk page over the next week. Rivertorch (talk) 07:01, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

It is very encouraging that the two registered users are willing to talk while the IP is only willing to make snarky comments. But like I said, it is a perception thing. I don't want to allow either side to feel that they have the upper hand since one party is locked out. Or have one party feel like they are wrong because they got locked out. Or vice verse with one party feeling they are right because they can edit, while the other can't. Hopefully something can be worked out soon. If a consensus is reached and you need an admin to edit it or release the protection, feel free to drop me a note (I'm not watching the article or talk page). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:25, 11 April 2010 (UTC)

Page Protection

Thank you for your recent revert of vandalism on the Dayton, Ohio article. This article has been a target of vandalism and silly edits of this kind for quite some time. I have listed the article for protection from such vandalism here Misplaced Pages:Requests for page protection. If there is any way that you may be able to help with watching the page for vandalism, or semi-protecting the article, that would be appriciated. Thanks. Texas141 (talk) 19:27, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

Stupid question about a deleted article's re-creation like Justin Munos

Hello, I noticed you deleted Justin Munos. When its editor re-created it, you deleted before I could re-tag it. On the editor's talkpage I noticed you gave it a Create2 warn. My question stems from the triangle used by the Speedy Delete pre-canned message (which can be seen above your warning). Whenever I see that triangle I interpret it as a level three type warn, i.e., Create3. However, I have noticed that some Page Patrollers will go down to Create1 on a re-creation. I think your warning is more appropriate. Am I missing the mark? --Morenooso (talk) 07:09, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Mount Oral

Hello,

I am messaging you concerning the Mount Oral article you seem so fervent on deleting. I am unsure if my post on the talk page made it through or not, considering your incessant ban hammer swinging, but I gave many good reasons why that page should be granted time to prove itself. Just is case you didn't get them, I will give you some more indubitably good reasons. Yes, we know that most of the rumors on the original page aren't true, but neither are the ones about big foot, and yet he has a page! Mount Oral is an actual speed bump located at Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK. We intended to get pictures uploaded to the article to prove it, but we didn't manage to do that in the 45 seconds of the articles life. Many incoming freshman have the unfortunate meeting with Mount Oral at least once in their early months, and so it is a widely talked about topic. Any car with a 9" or less clearance is doomed if it crosses paths with the mount. The rumors/stories were created by the men of Brigade, dorm: Wesley, floor: 7. There, it is common for random things to be discussed in "Alcove talks" (Wiki article coming soon. Or do I smell another ban hammer. Do you yell out "By the power of Odin, I smite thee!" when you swing that sucker? I can definitely see that... You do seem a bit ban happy...) Around 3 AM one fateful night, the topic switched to Mount Oral and the havoc it brings upon the local populous, and then thoughts on it's past. Crazy stories were created that night. Then, the stories spread throughout the rest of the floor. Then the dorm. Then half of the school. So while everyone knows that these stories are untrue, it's still a widely loved topic. Like Bigfoot. Or the Star Wars universe. Or Cthulhu. Anyway, Mount Oral is a very popular topic at Oral Roberts University. There's even a Facebook group about it for Heaven's sake! Plus, there was a disclaimer on the bottom of the page that clearly stated that most of the rumors have very little factual evidence. Thus, I think you should permit Mount Oral's page to be restored, until such a time that other credible sources may prove such an object still exists. As you can see, I think you should wait to swing Mjolnir until we can actually get an established list of contributors. So please, allow us to recreate the page, with a disclaimer, and we'll be very happy. We're not /b/. We're not here to lower credibility. We're here to write an article about something so popular, over forty thousand people know of its existence.

First, I would like to talk about Mount Oral. You said I need a third-party source. Would that be a book that references to it? Or a direct quote from the president of Oral Roberts University? Or every single student at the college calling it that ( A student body of 8,000)? What is the number of people that use or know of a term/landmark before it is allowed it's own article? I did not make up the name for Mount Oral, as it has been around since the 70's. The article contained factual information about the landmark that is almost as popular as the Praying Hands. (There is currently no wiki article about it, but I would be scared to start one as it would have a very short life.) The "Rumors" section was in there, referring to things that have been said about Mount Oral. If this violated the T&S in anyway, it can/will be removed for the sake of the article. While I am not able to instantaneously quote articles or guidelines in my defense as you are, I will argue it until the bitter end. And yes, I do know that doesn't have the cleanest sound to it, but, as the campus is Oral Roberts University, I think we can all guess that the name is purely clean in nature.

Second, I did not receive your return message until after the article was posted, so it was in no way intended as a rebellious act. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eschington (talk • contribs) 06:44, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

I am not complaining. And I told you multiple times that I would strike the "facts" from the article, but you insist on merely reading what you wish, and not what I say. You say you're being lenient and responding to my joking comments seriously? How about my serious questions? What exactly do I NEED for reliable sources? I read the article, and am still slightly confused. It is indeed a landmark written about in a publication, but not in very many. I wasn't mocking or attempting in anyway to be an arrogant arse (well, slightly at first). I was asking serious questions that you refuse to answer. I am trying to have a serious conversation and ask legitimate questions, but you continuously return with sarcasm and a refusal to respond in a fashion that is helpful. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eschington (talk • contribs) 07:14, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

As far as I'm aware, it actually has. I know of at least two publications that refer to it at length. It might not be in the New York Times by any means, but it has been discussed in third-party articles.

As far as page length goes: It would be expounded upon. It is rather short now, but it would quickly be increased with pictures, information, etc.

Anyway, thanks for your speedy-responses. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eschington (talk • contribs) 15:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Using Misplaced Pages

Hello Gogo Dodo. I saw you were recently online (due to a recent block) and wanted to ask an experienced editor a bit about Misplaced Pages. First, I was just seeking feedback about my contributions.
