Misplaced Pages

User talk:Fastily/header

File:SJA Revenge of the Slitheen.jpg

The discussion was 5-2 to keep (5-3 if you count the nominator...who is no longer on WP). I find it quite strange that you decided to go with a summary of "The result of the discussion was delete' when it certainly wasn't. Buffs (talk) 06:45, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

The same goes for File:James Parks.jpg. Buffs (talk) 06:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

I never count !votes when closing deletion debates. Rather, I weigh the effectiveness of the arguments presented by both sides against one another. I found that the reasons given to delete the files were more compelling than the reasons given to keep them. I have reviewed both discussions once again, and I stand by my closures. -FASTILY 07:11, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Then you should annotate that in your rationale... Buffs (talk) 06:13, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Winnipeg_Jets_2011_cropped.jpg?

I just saw your edit mentioning File:Winnipeg_Jets_2011_cropped.jpg couldn't be deleted. Considering it isn't being used on any pages, and there's a better version of the logo being used instead, it would naturally make sense to delete this one, wouldn't it? If you could let me know the situation, thanks. --Vuzor (talk) 07:43, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

F1 applies to bit-for-bit identical files. File:Winnipeg_Jets_2011_cropped.jpg and File:Winnipegjetslogo.svg different file formats. One is a jpg file, the other is an svg file; although they depict the same image, they are not identical. F1 technicalities are utterly asinine, but alas, rules are rules :| Sorry, FASTILY 07:58, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

It could have been deleted as an orphaned fairuse, but it's now back in the article. Connormah (talk) 06:08, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Shigihara

Please could you restore the first revision of Talk:Shigihara which consisted of a correctly placed {{old rfd}} template, noting the outcome of the RfD discussion of the Shigihara redirect.

For reasons I don't understand, user:CHAPTCA, who didn't take part in the discussion and has no edits to the redirect page, replaced this with a db-empty tag diff between deleted revisions. Thryduulf (talk) 11:08, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of Tom McGrath long distance runner article

Hi Fastily

I note the article written on my Uncle Tom McGrath long distance runner has been deleted

This article refers to Tom McGrath who appeared in the Guinness book of world records in 1978 in relation to his Cross American run. He also carried the Olympic torch threw New York for the Atlanta Olympics and he is a very famous New York Irish born runner.

I have quoted 3 references in this article, I would be grateful if you could elaborate on what form of references I would need to state in order for this article to be reinstated Some of his running achievements are not listed online, should I scan over copies of the guiness book of records page and old newspaper articles?

I note one of your colleagues questioned the New York Times article, which I referred to and its relevance, this article referred to the huge mileage that Tom McGrath still undertakes in his runs, which I noted in my submission.

I would appreciate if you could please give me examples of what form of references I would need to include in order for the article to be published e.g. a newspaper article for every sporting achievement or a newspaper article for 3 or 4 of the sporting achievements.

Can you please also note that I have referenced the Guinness book of world records 1978, I will include the page and edition of this very well know book in the next article should you approve same.

Tom McGrath is a factual extremely well respected athlete from New York City who has raised serious amounts for charity, if you need any signed documents from local Chiefs of Police or indeed Senior New York politicians to authenticate this article will be happy to organise these.

I appreciate your help with this matter so please let me know what I need to do in order for it to be reinstated.

Many thanks for your time. Stephen — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donnybrook2011 (talk • contribs) 14:24, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

I recommend you bring this up with Jimfbleak, the admin who deleted the page. Since I did not delete the article, there's not much I can do to help you at the moment. FASTILY 19:10, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

meaningless deletion -that s a kind of vandalism

Stop stop with meaningless deletions like "Template:Fb team Placido de Castro" Langholz8 (talk) 20:55, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Red vs blue

I agree with you about the undesirability of the separate articles, but why not do it by Proposed Merge? Just a suggestion. DGG ( talk ) 22:01, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Finished

I've completed the assignment you've given to me in lesson 3. Cheers, —James • 12:22pm • 02:22, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Excellent, I'll review your answers shortly. -FASTILY 07:45, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Can you help ?

After your warning for Edit warring behavior , the user continues : . What's the next step ? Thanks , --Alborz Fallah (talk) 07:37, 31 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi, Fastily. I wonder if you'd consider reapplying semiprotection. When it expired, the problematic edits began again. They're not quite vandalism, imo, but they sure are pesky. Rivertorch (talk) 11:43, 31 July 2011 (UTC)
