| Hello, | |||
| I'd just like to let you know that I nominated your image of the Sydney Opera House as a . I hope you don't mind as I found the image quite lovely. :) ] 01:53, 9 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| I can see from the talk pages that there was some effort to get rid of WP:DSS, which is a clear copyvio, and that you were involved in it to some extent. However, the main page and all its subpages still remain. Now, there is a curious "copyright notice" on the the main page (]) which proclaims that pre-1923 of the Dewey Decimal System are public domain, and a link to the current copyright holder which proclaims that a licence is required. However, the page itself says it is based on the 2003 system, not a pre-1923 system. There is a legal precedent cited about recipes in a cookbook, which, my law degree tells me, sounds like it is being cited out of desperation rather than clear legal argument. Further, it seems odd to me that the page talks about pre-1923 being copyright-free when it admits to actually using the 2003 system. I am tempted to try to get this deleted as a copyvio but I want to find out why the last effort to do so failed - I can find no trace of why it failed on the talk pages, just some messages agreeing that it should be deleted! Can you remember what happened that meant this got kept? ] 17:43, 14 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::I've tracked it down now - an admin removed the speedy tag deciding it wasn't a speedy. In the case of copyvios there are two choices - speedy delete on copyvio grounds (if it is a blatant copyvio of content that is normally charged for - actually, that's exactly what this is, so I'm surprised it didn't get speedied!) or taking it WP:copyright problems. Since it didn't get speedied, I'll take the latter route. We ''could'' use the 1923 version, but somebody would have to go away and look the 1923 version up - it probably isn't documented on the web, unfortunately, so they'd also have to reproduce the full documentation of it here. The big problem with that would be that the only reason for implementing Dewey on Misplaced Pages is that people are more used to Dewey than Misplaced Pages's category system. Using an old Dewey might just confuse people even more! (And Dewey is confusing enough as it is, e.g. putting "sport" under "art"... it's only familiarity with it that makes it usable, and many people ''are'' familiar with it, but possibly not the 1923 version!)Also, there would be no way of classifying things like space flight and World War II... so actually it would probably be unworkable anyway. Meh. Off to the copyvio page it goes... ] 00:36, 15 April 2006 (UTC) | |||
| :::On a side note, since the 1923 version can't cope with the Internet (it has since been sorted under "0", which originally was kept for "miscellaneous") the 1923 system wouldn't have been able to index its own web page :-) ] 00:37, 15 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::::: Most of the languages are fairly inactive unfortunately (though I have been doing quite a lot of translation from Norwegian wiki, and am drafting an article about German punctuation). It seems the creator of the Dewey classification of Misplaced Pages was one of the very earliest members of the project - his "Welcome!" message came from ] himself! And it also seems he hasn't been on Misplaced Pages for 3 years which explains why his Dewey system linked to articles rather than the rather newer categories. That page and its subpages have been essentially neglected for years, by the looks of it. I guess once categories were implemented, trying to classify Misplaced Pages like that lost a lot of point. | |||
| ::::: P.S. You seem to be quite a keen photographer! I've made a suggestion that I think would be a Very Good Thing at ] - I am quite suspicious that the vast majority of non-urgent photo requests aren't listed on ] at all (and many articles that could do with a photo aren't marked as such), those that are often become "lost", people are unlikely to check WP:RP on the off-chance of seeing something in their area come up etc etc - I think that subcategories of picture requests (especially local ones e.g. ]) may be the way to go, especially if they can be linked with WikiProjects and regional categories of Wikipedians. Any thoughts? Some feedback on that page would be nice, since its talk page seems to be a bit of a ghost town - I can see that somebody else suggested the idea in the past but it looks like the idea died of old age rather than anyone actually disagreeing with it! ] 01:55, 15 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Hi, you recently speedily deleted ] as a non notable club. The author was asking about it on IRC, and I was considering undeleting it. He didn't add any assertions of notability to the article, which made it look pretty nn. Apparently it's the most popular online league for ], which is apparently the best selling 2d baseball simulator. In my opinion, that information makes it atleast notable to not be speedily deleted. What's your opinion? If I undeleted it, I would add that information to the article, and make some other changes, to make it nicer. --] '']'' 17:09, 16 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| ::Hmm, I didn't think about reliable sources. If it's as notable as those claims show, though, it shouldn't be excessively hard to find them. My proposed changes include removing the unencyclopedic stuff, for the record. I'll look into it some more. --] '']'' 01:17, 17 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

| Howdy! I was about to speedy delete ] when I noticed that you had previously removed a <nowiki>{{db-bio}}</nowiki> tag. It's clearly a WP:CSD A1 situation, your thoughts? I'd like to hear from you first to avoid potential wheeling. Regards, ]</small> (]) 16:45, 17 April 2006 (UTC) | |||

Hamish Ross
Why did you delete Hamish Ross. That was a really nasty thing to do :(--84.67.148.195 23:19, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
Exoskeletor
Sorry about before. i though why not to make a biography of me and some usefull freeware programs that i have make. My question is,, how a person can know that it worth to be here?
- See WP:BIO. As a general rule, don't write about yourself. If you're notable enough to be in Misplaced Pages, someone else will write it. enochlau (talk) 04:08, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
About my programs? can i write informations about them like how to use them etc? there are free programs and if a reference to me is a problem i can remove it
- See Misplaced Pages:Notability (software). Again, as a general rule, don't write about your own stuff. enochlau (talk) 04:12, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Album stubs
Please flesh out the stubs that you are writing, because they are falling into the WP:CSD category of "no content". If you do not wish to see them deleted, please at least write one full sentence in the article. Cheers. enochlau (talk) 04:18, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks for the tip. I was going to fill them in later. I will include a brief sentence until I can finish them up. --Buzzard Joe 04:36, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
deletion of "Stepfather"
Hello Enochlau, sorry to bother you. I noticed you deleted my article about the album "Stepfather" by People Under the Stairs, based on the band being non-notable. I checked the criteria of band notability, and they meet at least one criteria, which is having undergone an international tour (to Europe and Japan, multiple times). This can be verified on their website, and likely other places (which I would be happy to lookup). I do understand if you havn't heard of them in Australia, but they are known in California. I also understand if I simply had written a poor article. It was my first. Thank you. Chiller1800
- You need to make that clear in the body of the article that the album is from a notable band. In particular, linking to People Under the Stairs would have been a good idea. I now see that the deletion was a mistake, so feel free to recreate it with that in mind. Also, note WP:MOS - formatting articles properly makes them less likely to be treated as garbage. Cheers. enochlau (talk) 07:21, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
Overkill album "!!!F*ck You!!!" notes...
Whats with the notes on the Overkill album page for the ep "!!!Fuck You!!!"? I understand the name probably sets off the 'vandalism' flags, but it is a real album, released by Megaforce/Atlantic Records in 1987.
What kind of verification do I need? Websites that catalog the album? I am holding it in my hand, I can scan pics of the back text in, ect.
I'm semi new editing here, so I am just adding album pages that don't exist so far. Thanks! SKELETOR666 11:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

-cough- Team 37...very Notable.
Team 37 is certainly a very notable group. They deserve recognition, and there is no reason not to be mentioned on wikipedia.
Backtothefuture
I saw you deleted the Backtothefuture article. No I'm not an admin, but I would think that "afd" isn't really a good reason to delete articles. Also, backtothefuture is a user of Newgrounds. The article seemed to be neutral. Just dropping you a comment. Robot569 20:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Instantnood and Alanmak
I recently had to block both Instantnood and Alan for edit warring again, and both are at each other's throats. If you'd like to take the effort to mediate their disputes, whether through the Misplaced Pages:Mediation Cabal or just a casual discussion, I would really appreciate it. If not, I guess I'll file a mediation request and brace myself. Ashibaka tock 22:34, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

- It's actually a large-scale revert war over many articles, mainly stylistic (whether Macau should be called "Macau, China", whether Cantonese should be called "Cantonese Chinese", and so forth). The main issue is that they have long ceased to communicate with each other; in fact, they frequently use reverting edit summaries as a talk page. Ashibaka tock 03:16, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
