Re: Quick note to Shenme

Ah, thanks. To see something in practice, doesn't necessarily mean it is a recognized guideline. So now I know yet another page to read - thanks. I love how it says use "Show preview" . Ha! I've kept pages open for more than an hour, trying to "say it right".     It ... doesn't always work ... :-(     Shenme 04:31, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

No prob. But you can see the problem, I am sure, when you change a remark invisibly after another has responded or referenced it. The strike-out is the only important part, just highlight and hit str button, only takes a sec. Take care. --Justanother 04:37, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Justahulk account

I suggest that you post a request on AN/I for unblocking the account. I don't object to another administrator over viewing the block and considering unblocking. On a side note, I have told User:Smee to stop following you around on Misplaced Pages to begin fights, I suggest that you as well not be easily instigated by the user and try to remain civil and not use personal attacks or hostile edit summaries when dealing with him or any other users. Thank you.--Jersey Devil 04:53, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Will do. Take care. --Justanother 04:56, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion review

Thanks for the tip. I will take another look and see if I can figure it out when I am not so tired. One good thing is that now the article makes Barbara sound like an important historical figure, so she should be happy about that at least. :-) Steve Dufour 06:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I was think that you may well want to take it to DRV for a few more sets of eyes as that close was odd with the closing admin changing after being petitioned by a highly involved POV editor. --Justanother 06:20, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. I think that is a good idea. For me doing things here is not so easy. I don't have any experience with computer programming and that kind of thing. Steve Dufour 11:19, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Yes, the unique nature of this place can be off-putting. It has some parallels in moderated user forums but only to a limited degree. But you do not have to be fancy and, on admin boards, simpler is better anyway. A simple request to take a look based on the odd-closing and perhaps the question if it was closed a bit early (but I would not stress that and might leave it out). What this place is more about is diplomacy and tactfulness. I think you have those qualities. Believe it or no I, can be very diplomatic and I am usually the one chosen in my professional business to handle delicate situations. I allowed myself a bit of a luxury to lampoon inappropriate editors but I am done with that now as it allows the ill-intentioned to muddy the waters of what should be a clear debate by repeatedly pointing at and exaggerating my harsh words. I know that you have no such problem. If you want to put your request in a sandbox on your user page I will check it over for you. --Justanother 12:45, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Steve, I have to run now. Catch you in a few hours. --Justanother 22:28, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Please post the link to the DRV message board, if that is what it is called, and I will mention Barbara's article there. I was planning on just giving the link to the deletion discussion and saying that although the vote was around 3 to 1 in favor of keeping, the people in favor of deletion brought up some serious issues that were not answered by the other side. What do you think about that? BTW I don't plan to vote on Tilman's article. He is clearly not notable enough but he likes his article and I don't want him take my vote personally. Steve Dufour 22:27, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Barnstar!

Sir, you're rare, in my experience - I've seen people flog themselves over AfDs when they don't go their way. I'd share a beer with you, but...well, here's a barnstar instead. =^_^=

<move to user page>

A note, by the way, I caught the queries on this as well post close. To be perfectly frank, I hope Barbara contacts the appropriate people soon, so she can get it removed. --Dennisthe2 21:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, that barnstar means something to me. We can have the beer later. Best. --Justanother 21:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

New Category

• Thanks! Yes, I have read the Intro, and considered it before adding anybody. I am fairly well educated on this subject, so I could clairify anything I add if you want. Just ask on my Talk page. Zazaban 20:12, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • No prob. There was one Roman that the article did not clearly indicate had started a religion or belief system and then there is Adam, that did not teach anything that I know of. I did the sort thing already for Moon and Crowley but if you want to do others it is easy to do when adding the cat. Thanks again for jumping in. I was really surprised that I could not find a cat like this extant. --Justanother 20:15, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
    • A lot of what I added was based on the List of founders of world religions here on wikipedia. Zazaban 23:34, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
      • Ah. Well now there is a cat to go along with the list (smile). Beats the heck out of "Category:Self-proclaimed messiahs" --Justanother 01:56, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

AfD discussions

Please don't use harsh sarcasm in afd discussions (e.g. Tilman Hausherr)--whichever side you are supporting, this doesnt aid it.DGG 00:38, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your input. --Justanother 01:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
