Hi, I thought I'd respond on your page rather than clog up Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Edgar se cae. There have been articles on similar subjects recently though I don't think many if any have survived. One of the more notorious ones involved a video of teenagers deliberately orchestrating a motorcycle accident in a public playground. Keep an eye on Articles for deletion (as I see you do), they're bound to crop up! Mallanox 22:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Recent AfD

Hello. You recently participated in an AfD discussion at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Taco Bell menu. The article was deleted but is up for deletion review here. I thought you may be interested in participating in that discussion. Ifnord 03:00, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks Ifnord. I've left my feedback, although I'm not sure what good it will do. RFerreira 19:01, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Mimi Gardner Gates

On the AfD you voted Merge into William H. Gates, Sr. I've added some notes to the article, namely the books she co-authored and a reference to her influence in the Association of Art Museum Director's guideline against selling art collection pieces. I think those items help establish her individual notability in the art world (and apart from her husband and step-son). I would appreciate any time you may give in reviewing the additions to see if they merit a keep. Thanks. Agne 19:03, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you. Agne 20:25, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

AfD vote on Lone Wolf Real Esate Technologies

Hi! I was just looking at Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/Lone_Wolf_Real_Estate_Technologies, and I think you may have based your comment on a misunderstanding. They don't claim 3000 offices; they claim that their customers have a total of 3000 offices. Would that change your opinion? Thanks, William Pietri 00:36, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Go raibh maith agat!

Hi there, RFerreira!

Thank you so much for supporting my RfA! It ended up passing and I'm rather humbled by the support (and a bit surprised that it was snowballed a day early!). Please let me know if I can help you out and I welcome any comments, questions, or advice you wish to share.

Sláinte!

Unclosed AfD

Hi there, Mr. Admin. Please can you take a look at closing Misplaced Pages:Articles_for_deletion/The_Haverford_Review. This dicussion is now on its 10th day, and as you can see it's not a particularly controversial discussion at all and there's no reason for it to continue so long, so it seems to have just slipped through the cracks. Thanks very much for your adminning efforts. Bwithh 00:18, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 66/11/5. I learned quite a bit during the process, and I expect to be learning a lot more in the days ahead. As I stated in the request itself, I respect your decision to oppose me based on my short tour of duty, but I hope I can earn your trust. I will be taking things slowly (and doing a lot of re-reading), but please let me know if there is anything I can do to improve in my new capacity. -- Merope 13:55, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

File:Nuvola apps kfm home.png Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 91/1/4. I can't express how much it means to me to become an administrator. I'll work even more and harder to become useful for the community. If you need a helping hand, don't hesitate to contact me. NCurse work 15:43, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

RfA thanks from StuffOfInterest

Thank you for participating in my RfA, which finished with a tally of 52/6/1 (~90%). It was an interesting process which gave me a chance to learn a bit about myself and about the community. My intention now is to slowly ease into using those additional buttons on my page. No use being over eager and mucking up the works. The support of all those who went over my record and/or rallied to my defense after the big oppose vote was instumental to the success of this review. Again, thank you! --StuffOfInterest 12:00, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Strange Close & Re-List

The Afd that you voted on at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/James W. Walter has been closed and relisted by an Admin at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/James W. Walter (second nomination). Before re-listing, the vote was 19 delete, 5 keep. Morton devonshire 22:26, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/X. Claire Yan

You wrote to keep iff the NYT bestsellers were substantiated. While it's hard to prove a negative, I was able to, instead, find a space on her campaign page bio that said that she edited NYT bestsellers, which suggests the claim was in error. So you may want to change your comment on the AfD. AnonEMouse 17:14, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Danny Phantom discussion

Hello. You recently participated in a discussion on the possible deletion or merger of some Danny Phantom characters. While all the articles were kept, I noted that many of those commenting on the debate suggested merging some characters into a main list. Seeing this, I've compiled a list of some of the minor characters who may not need their own article, and would like the opinions of those who weighed in originally. You can participate in the discussion here. Ral315 (talk) 18:25, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Requests for adminship/Elonka

Thank you very much for your support in my RfA. Unfortunately consensus was not reached, and the nomination was not successful. However, I do appreciate your comments, am still in support of the Misplaced Pages project, and will continue to contribute without interruption. Thanks again! --Elonka 11:00, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Thanks!
Thanks for your input on my (nearly recent) Request for adminship, which regretfully achived no consensus, with votes of 68/28/2. I am grateful for the input received, both positive and in opposition, and I'd like to thank you for your participation.

WP:AIV

Not that I disagree with you... but comments such as this are not exaclty a model of civility. But keep up the anti-vandalism work! Cheers! --Ginkgo100 05:07, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

That was the most neutrally phrased term I could come up with under the circumstances, sorry if I offended anyone. RFerreira 05:13, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

Speedy to AfD

Your comment in Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Fascist Fascist:

Contested speedy deletions should go to AFD, not DRV in my opinion. Either way, cut the guy some slack for nominating the article for deletion on his own, will you? RFerreira 06:26, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree that contested speedies shouldn't bog down DRV and any (noninvolved) admin should be allowed to recreate and send to AfD, but as of now speedies are subject to deletion review and then, if at all, AfD. If you want you can propose a change in procedure at DRV talk. You'd surely have my support. ~ trialsanderrors 00:01, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

How did this ever come to be, I wonder? Was it through instruction creep? I am rather curious about this one, because this specific piece of the deletion process seems to be overly bureaucratic and (I believe) the project as a whole would be better served if these were moved directly to AFD when they crop up. RFerreira 23:00, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

Back at you buddy

How ya doin? The citations for the page on Idareds are as follows: I whacked the text from the french page, and then ran it though altavista, and cleaned up the grammer in Micro$oft viod. ...

Hmmm Maybye it was the german page... I cannot remember. but its the same page as another language, and HappyCamper helped.

Not much here to say. See ya

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Andros Karperos Middle School

Whether it's a vote or discussion isn't as big of a deal to me as those guys trying to belittle the opinions of others. People disrespecting others really bothers me, I apoogize if I caused any undue hassle. Just H 03:16, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

It's a discussion, not a vote, but by both accounts, the consensus was going towards deletion, not keeping. You tried to suggest otherwise without any reason (not for why you wanted to keep it, nor why you thought it had a consensus to do so), and I wanted to show that both by arguments (which is the correct way) and by numbers, you were incorrect. This is not belittling, just showing flaws. As for why I support deletion over redirecting (in reply to the closers query): I have tried redirecting school articles, and people just undo the redirect and recreate the article, no matter how useless it is (e.g. Dashwood School, Banbury). There is no policy or guideline against recreating a redirect, but there is against recreating a deleted one. So I prefer deleting above redirecting in many cases. But I'll not actively oppose the AfD, I'll only join the discussion if someone else would take it to DRV or undo the redirect without seriously sourced additional info showing notability of the school. Fram 06:18, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
I see a Merge vote as different than a delete vote. Just H 20:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
If the redirect is undone without adding sourced information, I will take it to DRV; that would seem to me an attempt to end-run around the consensus determined through the AfD. I see no reason to contest the result now, though. (And in reply to RFerreira, I do not object to redirecting these stubs -- although I do wish the merges would be performed more proactively by those who end up !voting to do so.) Shimeru 07:50, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Deprod comment C.O.G. Miller

I've deprodded this after adding a few links, even though it's way short of 100% evidence of notability, and I've left a note on the talk page too. What do you think? --Mereda 13:29, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Unfortunately, the article does nothing to give any context as to why this person is notable, other than he was the head of PG&E for a few years. Even more unfortunate is that Google only provides 91 unique matches for this figure, and most of them are derivatives or mirrors of Misplaced Pages, so there isn't much to work from in terms of reliable sources on-line. I'll ask the creator, Tobyk777, if he has any other source material to expand from. RFerreira 03:02, 9 December 2006 (UTC)
Thanks. That's a good way of handling it. If that approach too fails to draw out any printed sources, then I guess the only road is AfD. (My reservations certainly wouldn't justify a "keep".) --Mereda 17:46, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

A very Californian RfA thanks from Luna Santin

Thanks for your support in my not-so-recent RfA, which succeeded with a final tally of (97/4/4)! I've never been able to accept compliments gracefully, and the heavy support from this outstanding community left me at a complete loss for words -- so, a very belated thank you for all of your kind words.

I have done and will continue to do the utmost to serve the community in this new capacity, wherever it may take me, and to set an example others might wish to follow in. With a little luck and a lot of advice, this may be enough. Maybe someday the enwiki admins of the future will look back and say, "Yeah, that guy was an admin." Hopefully then they don't start talking about the explosive ArbComm case I got tied into and oh what a drama that was, but we'll see, won't we?

Surely some of you have seen me in action by now; with that in mind, I openly invite and welcome any feedback here or here -- help me become the best editor and sysop I can be.

Again, thank you. –Luna Santin
Thank you for your trust. Luna Santin 13:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:List of media personalities who have vandalised Misplaced Pages

It looks like the deletion police are trying to circumvent a previous AFD again. See Misplaced Pages:Miscellany for deletion/Wikipedia:List of media personalities who have vandalised Misplaced Pages. As you voted keep, could you cast your vote again? - Ta bu shi da yu 23:09, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
