| ==Ironfist AfD== | |||
| I thought I might drop by and explain my voting at the Ironfist AfD a little better. You are absolutely correct that, in most senses, the only meaningful vote is a vote in accordance with policy. And were I a closing admin, there's no way I'd give much weight to my argument there unless a large number of other commenters backed it with considered comments. But the way Misplaced Pages policy evolves is through changing practice. Sometimes, after looking at a page, and after coming to a conclusion on what policy says should be done with it, I ''still'' feel inclined to vote the other way, in which case I follow my conscience and vote that way, making the best rationale I can for why that outcome would benefit the project. Occasionally deliberately straying from policy, with detailed reasons, benefits the project. And when it doesn't, the community will spot that, and rightly reject it. It's absolutely natural that you should point out that my vote ''does'' contradict policy, but there's nothing inherently offensive about the attempt. - ] (]) 04:02, 20 December 2010 (UTC) | |||

| Hello there, "Not a Real Word," and Merry Christmas. Just one thought to mull over: because an editor, say Shooterwalker, was "unrelated" to Wiki brah doesn't mean he's out of the woods yet. Don't you think that each suspect editor should be screened against known exemplars of Wiki brah, Editor XXV, and Claritas (and all their socks) before declaring someone "unrelated?" Keep in mind that a wiki brah sock, Tedescoboy22, was 'cleared' once in a checkuser because he was just checked against Claritas. This allowed Wiki brah (Tedesco) to run wild for a few more weeks on the wikiproject. If it was me, I'd just block any new users on sight just to be safe. Well, have a nice day! ] (]) 16:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC) | |||

| Hi. Not sure if when you dropped the word "troll" you were talking about me or not. But taking a look at Wiki brah's presence in the SPI... I want to apologize if I gave you a hard time. I'm somewhat of a libertarian and can react strongly when it comes to . It looks like this is indeed a frustrating and persistent problem. I wish I could help settle it so it doesn't continue to be an issue. But maybe the best way I can do that is to just stay out of the whole area entirely. Sincerely. Let me know what you think. ] (]) 22:15, 26 December 2010 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks for understanding. If I'm to participate in future AFDs and not get dragged into the drama... can you think of a way we can reduce the drama level? Do we need some kind of centralized discussion to talk about how to handle all these transformers articles, including a fair timeline so there is sufficient time to save the articles that can be saved? ] (]) 15:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC) | |||
| :: I've attempted some centralized discussions on improving articles, but I did not get much response. I'm planning to start another one, but I'm not quite sure when I'll be doing that. I need to think this stuff through and make sure I get enough response in time when I do start a major discussion. As for AfDs, I think what we're doing is already okay. A centralized AfD-related discussion was proposed (see ]), but it didn't get much support nd was eventually withdrawn. I think this was mentioned in one of the ] archives that I showed you. ] (]) 15:06, 27 December 2010 (UTC) | |||
| ::: Yeah I remember seeing it... it looked like a good idea but I'm not sure why it was turned down. Was it because it was perceived as a blanket AFD? What we really need is to develop some kind of guideline (or even just the interpretation of how to apply our guidelines) for how to handle these articles. Not something that says "delete all" or "merge all" or "keep all". But one that says "delete if X, keep if Y, merge if Z"... and maybe even find a compromise on how to manage the flow of discussions. Something similar occurred around . Even though that topic area is much more serious (we're talking about potential lawsuits that mess with real people's lives)... the issue is fundamentally the same. We have a topic area that needs to be cleaned up... but trying to deal with the whole backlog at once could be disastrous. ] (]) 15:25, 27 December 2010 (UTC) | |||
| You know, once in a while I do have these misgivings about our little cabal that I need to get off my chest. It doesn't appear the checkuser blocks and other preventative measures are successful in keeping the South-American conspiracy away from the Transformers. This is the general structure of it: Claritas and his friends comprise Team Chile. Claritas is kind of the "brains" behind the operation, choosing which articles to attack and when. Divebomb/Editor XXV is the leader of Team Argentina. Divebomb is kind of our muscle, always available to use whatever means it takes to make our presence felt. He did a quite successful job of infiltrating the wikiproject before he was busted on an unrelated investigation, no? Oh well. And me, Wiki_brah, I'm the man behind Team Brasil. I'm more or less the "idea guy" and the "PR guy" beind the cabal, having become the public face, if you will, of the attacks. Of course that job kinda fell into my lap since Claritas is mildly neurotic to say the least, and Divebomb, well, is a bit anti-social at times. Now, our plan involved user ], who was supposed to be appointed an admin before the attacks began in order to provide some admin cover for us. But that got screwed up when he lost his bid for admin. Anyway, he decided to flame out as , but the cabal has disavowed him. After all, if it can't be done with ''style,'' there's no need to do ''it'' at all! Merry Christmas, Obrigado!! And a Happy Transformers-frei New Year! ] (]) 18:00, 27 December 2010 (UTC) | |||

Userfied pages
I just asked for a blanket of any page I wrote that was deleted to be userfied. Not that it's any of your business, but no, I don't think the Mutants will ever be notable. What's your problem? Mathewignash (talk) 19:51, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
Your opinion is required...
As a participant who has voiced an opinion over at the TF WikiProject about proposals to change the article formats, a set out proposal has been provided and as a participant in the overall discussions, your agreement or disagreement in regards to them is required, if you so wish to provide an answer.

Overcast (Transformers) redirect RFD
I'm writing this to both NotARealWord and Rossami. You two were the primary participants in the above RFD a while back. It sat lingering open, but I have finally closed it, as "Retarget to Overcast (disambiguation)". I am not knowledgeable enough on the subject to implement the second half of the consensus your two reached, namely to update Overcast (disambiguation) with the different characters. Could one or the other of you two please do this, as you both seem to have knowledge on the subject. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:58, 11 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I closed the AfD for the article per WP:SK because your nomination didn't actually ask for deletion, and AfD is only for nominating an article for deletion. However that should not mean that the article can't be turned into a redirect. My suggestion is to talk things over with a couple of other people who are active with Transformers articles, like Mathewignash, Khajidha, JIP, Grapple X, Mabuska, Fortdj33, etc. All of those editors have worked with Transformers articles and have participated at WP:TRANSFORMERS, are currently active on Misplaced Pages, and may be responsive to a discussion. If nothing else, you can try simply leaving a message on the talk page of the article, saying that you propose to turn it into a redirect, wait for a day, and if nobody objects then just go ahead and do it. If someone reverts your change, no problem, just engage that person in discussion. If anyone is overly hostile to your suggestions or actions, let me know and I'll try to see that you're treated fairly. I just wanted to make sure that my closure of the AfD wasn't perceived as an attempt to shut down your attempt to turn the article into a redirect, it really wasn't. -- Atama頭 00:50, 19 August 2011 (UTC)
