] '''Administrator changes'''
Hi, I have noticed that you often provide only a very short abbreviated deletion summary when you delete pages (like "a7" "nn-bio" and similar). Please keep in mind that most users do not know all of Misplaced Pages's speedy deletion criteria by heart. Please consider providing a brief "plain English" explanation without relying exclusively on "CSD jargon". Additionally linking to the relevant criteria so people can read it in full can also be useful, for example <code><nowiki>]</nowiki></code>. This will help a "layperson" better understand why something was deleted when looking at the ].

Most browsers have a ] or other "form filling" features that allow pre-prepared boil plate texts to be inserted into web forms with just a few keystrokes. This is useful for inserting detailed deletion summaries without having to type out the same things over and over. Please consider looking into it. Thanks.<!-- Template:Delete summary --> -- ]\<sup>]</sup> 10:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I am the Drummer for the page you deleted '''J.R. Castillo and Unwound'''. I started this page today and you deleted it. I know it needed some work, infact. It is going to take a lot of work. I did leave his web page and myspace pages on the wikipage in case someone though it was a nonsense article. I would appreciate a little more time to complete a page!! I was getting the documentation I needed to fill out the rest of his music singles and albums. If you don't think that he was worth noting, you should have waited to see that his "Surviving Emily" song hit number 1 in Texas Country. I hope you can restore it, because setting up all the code for the tables, colors, etc. was a pain in the you know what. I did not save the notepad doc that I was working with, because it was on Misplaced Pages. Please put my 2 hours of hard work back up so I can finish it.

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Misplaced Pages. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its ] and view its ].
''Sorry I didn't make myself clear. The fact that it was taken from another source shows that the author was likely close to Thea, and very possibly the same author as the pdf I linked to. Its not a copyright violation if the author releases it, and putting the article up for deletion seems to me to smack of ]. The speedy tag was for non-notability, thus the question of copyright had not been raised or addressed (it wouldn't have been hard to reqrite the article based on the material provided, had that been the issue). ]<sup>(])</sup> 07:13, 15 February 2007 (UTC)''

You reverted the change I made to the clubs at Redlands High School. I know Misplaced Pages has a policy of no original research, but I also know that the club is called "Young Philosophes" instead of "Young Philosophers" becuse I am currently involved in this club. If you want, you can check out the Redlands High School website http://rhs.redlandsusd.net/ . The Daily Bulletin under "General Information" will probably have an announcement regarding Young Philosophes every other Monday. I'm sort of new to the editing process though, so if I screwed up any pointers would be appreciated. --] 02:15, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Well saying that you don't live in Cortland, Ohio, how do you know it is verfiable and notable. The Cortland Police does pull over cars that are out past curfew, McQuaid's selling beer is notable and verfiable because Cortland, Ohio was a dry town, and McQuaid's is the only place that sells alcohol in Cortland, Ohio. Everyone that goes to the Cortland Speedway can verify and note that Cortland Police does hang out there. The hill that everyone sleds on at Mosquito Lake is very notable because people do get caught and we advise against it. {{unsigned|Thorisgod}}

You recently deleted this page because it did not display any notability. I am not saying your wrong, I'm just not quite sure exactly what would qualify as notable.

Your web site graphic of the purple heart "barnstar" is inappropriate and offensive to members of the United States Armed Services who suffered injuries to be awarded the medal. Reducing the purple heart to something awarded to wikipedians involved in anti-vandalism efforts seems disingenuous and is in bad taste.
