Speedy deletion nomination of Box of Seals

Hello Anthony Seldon,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Box of Seals for deletion, because it doesn't seem to have any encyclopedic content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Gbawden (talk) 13:57, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, thank you, it is a Work in Progress. Anthony Seldon (talk) 13:58, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Any work in progress should be developed in your sandbox, or as a sub-page in your user space. I have moved the article to User:Anthony Seldon/Box of seals for you to work on at your leisure without worrying about some oaf coming along and deleting it. ~Amatulić (talk) 14:17, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Seal Transportation

The article Seal Transportation has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a good faith article creation - see editor history

While all contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:15, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

I have objected, and, I do not have a dubious history as you claim. Anthony Seldon (talk) 15:23, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

No, your history is perfectly clean – because you wipe the vandalism warnings from it (as you're entirely entitled to do). However don't pretend to other editors that you're blameless. Andy Dingley (talk) 15:26, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Are you talking about me as a person? I do not like this sort of slur! Anthony Seldon (talk) 15:29, 5 March 2013 (UTC)

Retaliatory edits

Hi,

I appreciate that it's unpleasant for your work to be nominated for deletion. However, it is never a good idea to take this personally. In particular, I've closed the retaliatory AfD you raised at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Warm glass and deleted User:Anthony Seldon/AD diffs, an attack page devoted to the editor who nominated your article for deletion. I've left a comment to the effect that User:Anthony Seldon/Box of seals is a valid work page on its own deletion discussion and advised the nominating editor to step back.

Please let me know if you have any questions regarding these actions or other areas of Misplaced Pages process. Thanks. Chris Cunningham (user:thumperward) (talk) 15:40, 11 March 2013 (UTC)

Scotpina and CheckUser

As you might already have seen, Scotpina has been exposed as a sock/meat/random coincidence of Shanker Pur, and unrelated to your account.

In which case, mea culpa I apologise sincerely for implying that you might have been the sockmaster behind these three accounts.

Things haven't got off to a great start so far, but I note your tobacco pouch article with interest – I was actually about to remove the prod on it, but you beat me to it. This looks like a good topic for an article and I wish you luck with it. The idea of forged tobacco pouches as an aid to tobacco smuggling was particularly interesting. I hope that we can have more productive editing interactions in the future. Andy Dingley (talk) 10:06, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Yes, it's interesting how some mundane items have an encyclopedic value. The tobacco pouch article reminded me of the wine list article I wrote some years back.

I added a picture. ~Amatulić (talk) 20:56, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Dear Andy,

Thank you for letting me know. I agree we did get off to a bad start, but let us put that in the past - and I also look forward to a positive editing future on this encyclopedia. I am glad you like the tobacco pouch article - and thank you User:Amatulic for adding the image.

A cup of tea for you!

Tobacco pouch is looking alright. I also regret what I've said about you, and I look forward to working with you in the future. BDD (talk) 20:59, 29 March 2013 (UTC)
