| Wow ... thanks ... I'm going to have start !voting on AfD's a lot more often if that's the new rule-of-thumb, as up till now I've probably been on the losing side of the AfD's and MfD's I've participated in as often as not. :) | |||
| The article does need a lot of work, though. Maybe a mention on the Project Law page? Regards, ] 00:14, 6 May 2007 (UTC) | |||

United Kings Studios - Deletion Inquiry
Is it possible you could give me a reason on why the United Kings Studios page was deleted? United Kings Studios are one of very few game companies which offer people with no experience a job. This gives them a chance when applying to bigger games companies as they have had the experience which is required. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hystlen Caeth (talk • contribs) 18:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC).
- Have you and your three friends done anything to warrant an article in an encyclopedia? – Steel 18:58, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
We have produced 3 games for free and one of those games was described as "awesome" on www.gamespot.com weekly podcast "the hotspot." And in the next to weeks is the release of the retail game, Savage Sewing 2 --Hystlen Caeth 19:03, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- Has anyone written anything substantial about United Kings Studios? A few good-sized web/magazine articles would do it. – Steel 19:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
There is an article found here which was posted by the Official Leader of Gamespot's hotspot and there is reference to us in a hotspot pod cast found here United Kings Studios are talked about during and after the 48th minute.
- Haven't checked the posdcast, but we need more than someone giving you a passing mention on a forum. – Steel 19:19, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Ok, thanks for your help. We will have one of our games under development at the moment officially published by an official PC Indy publisher. Will that be sufficiant enough for a wikipedia article once that has happened? --Hystlen Caeth 19:52, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- United Kings Studios needs to be the subject of multiple, non-trivial works. If having a game released by these people draws attention to the company, great. – Steel 02:01, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Gene Poole block
Hi. I'd like to register a formal objection to the block. I've already replied on ANI as well, but Gene's comments were nowhere near the usual insta-block incivility threshold, he only made a couple of comments, and Kingboyk and Radiant have been harrassing Gene as well. I am not going to touch an unblock button on this one, as I'm involved in the middle of it, but I believe that this block (and Kingboyk taking it to ANI in the first place) were inappropriate admin intervention. The discussion wasn't that bad, rude, or disruptive before Gene was blocked.
My two cents. Georgewilliamherbert 21:44, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
- I took it to ANI, and asked for an admin to check Gene's contribs and my contribs. The outcome may well have been for me to be told to back off. In fact, more than one admin checked both our contribs, and concurred with the block. I don't think Steel can be faulted, and I don't think I can: I felt he deserved a block, and it would have been inappropriate for me to issue it, so what else to do? The only way this was a bad block imho is that it wasn't long enough! Without his disruption we've made good progress today, with both sides of the debate able to discuss the issues sensibly and without resorting to name calling, reversions, tag removal etc etc. --kingboyk 23:35, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Everyone's opinions have been noted. – Steel 02:00, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Edit summaries
Can you please, please, please use descriptive edit summaries explaining what you're doing and why, especially when you edit pages in the MediaWiki namespace. Thanks. AmiDaniel (talk) 01:58, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- I'm being hounded for one edit without a summary? – Steel 01:59, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- Nobody's "hounding" you -- I'm just making a request. Making edits to protected pages, such as those in the MediaWiki namespace, are a sensitive matter, and, especially given recent events, those without edit summaries tend to raise suspicions that a simple edit summary, such as "removing link per talk," would greatly help to alleviate, as well as saving me and others of the time needed to figure out what you did and why you did it. AmiDaniel (talk) 02:49, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- (Conversation taken to IRC. Result: AmiDaniel is slapped with a fish. – Steel 03:07, 10 May 2007 (UTC))

Economics semiprotect
Thx for semiprotect on Economics. I see that the template is not there yet. It is my impression that only administrators can make the template effective. Can you help? -Thomasmeeks 02:36, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- The template doesn't actually do anything, so anyone is free to add it. – Steel 02:37, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
- OK, thx. Many would-be vandals will be in for a big surprise. --Thomasmeeks 02:41, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Euroleague
Hi! The guest in the Euroleague article, removes from the opening paragraph the line about the club which is most successful in the competition and adds as an information that the attendance record of the competition belongs to his favourite team (20,000 in a stadium of 18,000 seats- how is this possible?). So, to sum up, in the first case he moves important infos from the top of the article, while in the second, he adds statistics for his team using an unreliable source (in fact the record belongs to his team but the number of 20,000 fans is false). If both are accepted then it's ok... - Sthenel 08:41, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
- Removing the trivia section entirely would probably solve this problem. At any rate, Future Perfect has protected it. – Steel 11:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Request for semi-protetion
You have declined my request for semi-protection (for August Willich) because "no-one's actually tried to discuss the changes with the IP", I wanted to do just that but the IP does not use a single IP address, they all start with 84.140.***.***; all five of them! What do you advise I do? --09:00, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
The Plot Thickness! The same IP (84.140.***.***) has been vandalising German American, User:Chincoteague requested semi-protection for that article but was declined (by User:Michaelas10). I know it is low-activity, but it is really annoying!
- Ok, so he's using multiple IPs. Which one is the one you contacted? – Steel 11:58, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Image:Don'tAccelerate.png restored
I've restored the image you've deleted because we need it at Misplaced Pages:Google Web Accelerator for demonstration purposes. The amount of email we get over Google Web Accelerator at unblock-en-l is not insignificant and deleting the screenshot will only unnecessarily increase our workload when dealing with confused users.
