Holywell, Swords

The article relating to the community where I and 2000 other people live was deleted as a non-notable housing estate on 23 April. I disagree with this interpretation of the Holywell community and if I had been aware of the proposal for deletion I would have made my views known and discuses with the proposers. I would be very grateful if you could please reinstate the article so that I can view the comments and address any issues or concerns people have. Dvdgraham (talk) 14:51, 4 June 2008

Dismissiveness

Would you please restore the Dismissiveness article to my user space, as it was deleted without notifying me as the creator on my talk page. Dhaluza (talk) 09:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I've seen the discussion. Restoring an article to user space is a courtesy that any admin can do for someone who wants to work on the article, but it is also a courtesy to ask the admin who deleted the article first. Your response on my talk page indicates that you are either unfamiliar with this process, or unnecessarily defensive. Either way, if you decline to restore it, I can always ask another admin. Dhaluza (talk) 15:32, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I did not say this was a requirement, just a courtesy that most admins would do for an editor who wants to work on a deleted article. BTW, WP:DICDEF is one of the easist concerns to address, and should be handled with care at AfD, since all articles start out with a definition. For a specific example in this case, see as a source of content that could be added to expand this article. I prefer to work on it in my user space, so please restore it there with the history as requested. Thanks. Dhaluza (talk) 15:54, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I can now see that it was in fact edited down to a dicdef by User:Cumulus Clouds who then nominated it for deletion on this basis (and without seeking my input as creator). Rather dirty pool IMHO. Dhaluza (talk) 16:06, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

• Here's your one and only warning to refrain from any personal attacks and if you continue I will seek sanctions. Cumulus Clouds (talk) 02:03, 18 August 2008 (UTC)

Have a look now, and see if the subject really couldn't be more than a WP:DICDEF.

Would you consider overturning your close of the AfD, since the point of the discussion is now moot. Dhaluza (talk) 12:28, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Oversight question

Hi. :) I note that you cleared the article Paul Doktor after receiving verification of permission. I'm so glad it came through! I'm dropping you a line to see if you are also handling clearing Yaltah Menuhin. The articles were created by the same user and sourced to the same website, and the copy of the permissions letter he cc'ed to me addressed both articles. I don't know, of course, if he sent another letter to the Communications Committee that only covered the one. However, I thought I would check, since the second article covered in the same letter may have been overlooked. Please let me know if I should forward that letter to Permissions again. I had such trouble contacting the gentleman in the first place, thanks to e-mail wonkishness, that I'd hope not to have to ask him to send the letter again himself.

I'll be watching your talk page, so feel free to answer here. On the other hand, I'm comfortable with an answer at my own page, too. I like to keep complex conversations together for continuity, but this one shouldn't be that complex, I shouldn't think. :D

Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer. --Moonriddengirl 16:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks so much! I'm so glad to mark that one off the "to do" list. Certainly one of the most complex copyright clearance situation I've ever gotten involved in! (Except, perhaps, Neural correlates of consciousness, which required bouncing from person to person like a superball. :)) --Moonriddengirl 16:49, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of Afterburn(Carowinds)

Hi there, I'm a little confused as to why the article on the roller coaster Afterburn was deleted. The deletion log says it was proposed because of lack of notability, but I don't see how Afterburn is any less notable than many of the other rides in the same park.

Basically I'm wondering why this article was singled out.

Template:Editabuselinks

Yes, okay, it isn't called "Administrator reports", but this is more informative to a new person finding their way around. If they want to report something to the administrators, they'll click on "Administrator reports", but there is a higher chance they'll be confused with "Administrators'", because the latter could almost be construed as a place where admins exclusively posted. —Anonymous Dissident 02:18, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Image removal

Hi, Is there a policy discussion somewhere about image removal vs replacement? I fixed the image from Marian Doctrines page by using another, but instead of removing it, is there a better way of admins replacing them? I am no Wiki-experet, but pleas esuggest that to other admins as a policy issue. Thanks History2007 (talk) 05:39, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem, I usually have no idea what I am talking about either. But in this case, I meant that you removed an image from Marian doctrines of the Catholic Church and I thought it would have been more appropriate if you had replaced it. But no big deal.

Script

I don't know why you want this, but just don't do something with it that'll get you locked in the village stocks.

var titles = ; 
if(titles.indexOf(wgPageName.replace(/_/g, " ")) != -1) {
    history.go(-1); //Takes you back 1 page.
}

To populate the list of pages that should not be viewed, add values to the array. Best, —Animum (talk) 16:18, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you and question

Thanks for blocking that anon regarding the Batman stuff. I have one problem, though. The last edit on the Egghead article contains his garbage stuff he was adding. I want to remove it, but I would then violate WP:3RR. What can/should I do? Unschool (talk) 20:12, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

Request

Hello

As far as I can tell now, the lemma and notability of the Article AI_effect should be o.k., and so I ask you for restoring the article.

Thank you in advance - Columnist (talk) 08:44, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Rhiannon Thomas

Hello. I noticed you deleted Rhiannon Thomas. If you did, please recreate it. Try the link below. Also, in RJD, I assume the R stands for Ryan. What does the J and the D stand for?

Thank you very much. Andrzejestrować Zajaczajkowski Plecaxpiwórserafinowiczaświadzenie Poświadczyxwiadectwo-Bjornovich (talk) (contributions) 14:28, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Could you possibly tell me why this has been recreated? I'm about to put it up for Afd but would like to understand the background. Thanks. --Kleinzach 01:50, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Is there any time limit? --Kleinzach 02:31, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

No, for creation of an article after deletion following a prod. --Kleinzach 02:33, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

I have replied at User talk:85.9.98.132. - Rjd0060 (talk) 15:46, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

I did it earlier , but it does not work.do you want my userword and password to do it yourself? 85.9.98.132 (talk) 15:56, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

No, you will have to do it on your own computer. Also, never *ever* give your password out. Let me try deleting the page. Try again now. - Rjd0060 (talk) 15:58, 26 August 2008 (UTC)

Ulster Defence Regiment

Hi, may I now formally ask for you to lift the page protection at Ulster Defence Regiment? Discussion has died down, the disputed section has been rewritten and the warring editors appear to have desisted. I'm on vacation at the moment and I'd like to do some work on the artilce before returning to my own employment on Monday. I'd be grateful - thank you. The Thunderer (talk) 03:47, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Fingers crossed. The Thunderer (talk) 21:12, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

question...

I left a message for the person who tagged Darold W. Killmer for deletion. Can I ask you whether you were aware the nominator didn't see fit to comply with the deletion policies' recommendations that good faith nominators advise article creators when they make a nominations? If you weren't aware can I ask you whether you would still have completed the deletion if you had been aware?

Thanks! Geo Swan (talk) 20:11, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
