A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll

I've declined the speedy tag you placed on A Dose of Rock 'n' Roll. The reason is:

Speedy deletion of World Plumbing Council

A tag has been placed on World Plumbing Council, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Misplaced Pages:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines.

Keratoconus

Hi there. I have also noticed the edits on the C3R section in Keratoconus, which have been going on for some time. I have tried getting the parties (I think there is more than one) to respond, but without success. Let's see if your message on the talk page produces results. Best regards, — BillC 18:54, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

C3-R is the original and most commonly used term to describe collagen crosslinking. It was presented by Dr. Boxer Wachler at the American Academy of Ophthalmology Annual Meeting several years ago. Subsequent acronyms as CCL and CXL have recently been developed. Therefore, it is appropriate to include C3-R in the mileau.

There are two types of techniques to perform CCL, CXL, and C3-R: without epithelium developed by the German group and with epithelium intact which was developed by Dr. Boxer Wachler. Therefore it is appropriate to cite Dr. Boxer Wachler is this regard. This does not constitute an advertisement, but references an important aspect of crosslinking and it factual, not hype.

Robert borsody

I moved the article to the proper name so that both would be picked up by the deleting admin. There was no need to nominate it for deletion manually. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 19:00, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

As I said right above, the deleting admin would pick up the redirect (most usually do). Doing so leaves a good trail for possible future recreations of this article. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 19:11, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

Frost Fight

I responded on my talk page. —Noah 06:30, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Happy Valentine's Day!

_L is wishing you a Happy Valentine's Day! This greeting promotes WikiLove and hopefully this one has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user a Happy Valentine's Day, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend.

Spread the love by adding {{subst:User:Flaminglawyer/HapValDay!}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Jason Spevack

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Jason Spevack, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Thanks! .

Removed prod on Ben Baller

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Ben Baller, which you proposed for deletion, because I think that this article should not be deleted from Misplaced Pages. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it. If you still think the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article. Instead, feel free to list it at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion. Thanks! -- Atama 20:38, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Premature Valentine

Well, same thing as my Christmas greeting, which you probably didn't get. I just go around editing and send that to pretty much anyone that I see. And... I saw you. _L 18:17, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

hello

see repley from http://en.wikipedia.org/search/?title=User_talk:200.153.155.50&redirect=no at Talk:International standard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.153.156.96 (talk) 17:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Keratoconus

Just dropping by to say I fully approve of the stance you are taking here, and your attempts to bring the parties to discussion. I'm keeping a close eye on things myself and won't hesitate to help bring this to a satisfactory conclusion. Regards, — BillC 23:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

FYI. A shame really. I had requested a period of semi-protection for the article to see if that would induce him to create an account and bring him to the negotiating table, but it was declined, perhaps unsurprisingly, and he was blocked instead. — BillC 18:33, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Categories

Yeah, I've had a trawl through his talk page and archives. Even had a quick look at the admin notice board, and was tempted to post there too... Figured I might as well point out another occurrence of poor choice for categories. I spent ages back in December recategorising everything that was in Category:American musical groups and Category:British musical groups. It was in excess of 5,000 articles, of which I think 99% were recategorised properly, with maybe a handful that may find better cats in the future. As you said, what is the point in categorising an article when it will need to be redone later, and is also no longer listed in a convenient place to see that it needs a better category. Since everyone else can do it properly... hope this guy starts paying attention or something is done soon. Anyway, now I have ranted for ages and for no real reason I'll stop. Happy editing!

ARV

"I'd like to ask you to use the very process you've been running to undo all of the automated cleanup you've been doing" was posted by Pichpich. --Gary King (talk) 20:21, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Are you going to leave me on the AIV? I thought we resolved that with the quote. Also, let me know if my message on the ANI is acceptable and if I can continue to revert my edits or not. --Gary King (talk) 20:31, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, just realized that the thread had been archived. Kind of frustrating how some of the junk wikidrama threads on ANI get a lot of attention, while things like this are quietly archived without anyone noticing. I'm not entirely sure where to go from here. I've just placed a bot request to fix the whole thing. Perhaps you can chip in with your own comments. For some reason, I get the feeling that nobody wants to touch this with a ten-foot pole. Pichpich (talk) 16:56, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Use "vandalism" label with care please.

Re User_talk:Sreejiagriman#February_2008 and edit to Hygiene - please be careful about using the word vandalism - you were correct to revert it, but not to label this as vandalism. -- Chriswaterguy talk 23:26, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Okay, I see how that's vandalism according to the policy, though it's arguable from an ordinary English point of view. "Spam" seems to me a much more accurate criticism and more likely to be understood by the perpetrator. Especially important in such cases, it's generally people who have already shown they don't "get" Misplaced Pages policy.

I'm assuming of course that someone who hasn't yet been blocked is still considered someone worth trying to engage with and explain policy to.

Pardon the ramble - I know there's too much to do for you to engage with every transgressor in such a way, but I've been thinking about issues like how template warnings could be improved to offer more help to a newbie. --Chriswaterguy talk 11:54, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Ray tracing

You are mistaken on ray tracing - please read what WP:MOS has to say about repeating the article name in subsection names ("Avoid restating or directly referring to the topic or to wording on a higher level in the hierarchy"). This clearly means that unless absolutely necessary, the words "ray tracing" should not be used in the section headings. Warning ME for changing these subsections is a bit beyond the pale.

In your (generally valid) comment regarding clarity being more important than a style guideline - okay. But how does changing a "Ray tracing in real time" section to a "In real time" section within an article called Ray tracing (!) create confusion? It's perfectly clear AND follows the style guideline. You wouldn't call a subsection "History of New York City" either within the New York City article.

Noting here, for clarity's sake, that I am the previously anonymous IP (I was, and may be again, editing from a different location). I would not want to try and create the idea that I am using sockpupettry. Ingolfson (talk) 09:47, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Rick Lewis

Your AfD nomination of Rick Lewis is incomplete. Please review the instructions at WP:AFD to make sure that you a) place the appropriate template on the nominated article & b) create the AfD discussion page for the article. Thanks, Caknuck (talk) 15:07, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Last Warning? Vandalism?

Now listen up. Two last warnings? That's pretty surprising. Didn't think that was possible.

Point no 1. The keratoconus comment was actually described as "(Not supported by the reference)". Have you read the article? Also, you've reverted my comment that the chairs and tables at the Evening Star are made out of railway sleepers. They are. Perhaps you could email them and ask.

Fair enough, revert my edits if you don't think they're referenced enough, but vandalism? That's pushing it a bit far. An over-zealous moderator is possibly as dangerous as a vandal.

Also, Beefy Bitter was a one-off beer produced by the Dark Star Brewing Company. I've had some. "Jerk, Beefy!" (talk) 17:16, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Disinformation?

1. http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=julian+barnes+crepuscular&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a 2. Okay, it's Romanian, not Bulgarian. Or vice versa. Looks like some malicious vandalism to me! "Jerk, Beefy!" (talk) 17:18, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Declined AIV of "Jerk, Beefy!"

Re your message: As I noted in my decline note, there was no recent edits by this user. You reported him at 02:43, 29 February 2008 while his last edit was at 21:09, February 26, 2008 to the article you referenced. He had a later edit at 21:03, February 28, 2008 that was not vandalism. WP:AIV is for reporting currently active vandals. In this case, the editor was not currently active (roughly defined as within the last hour) and the edits in question were not simple vandalism. Instead, I would recommend that if you have issues with this editor's contributions that you post them to WP:ANI. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 21:21, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
