Edit to Baldrick page

And why, in your learned opinion did my edit constitute vandalism?

That would be because the turnip in question was shaped like a penis. It was a part of the episodes plot. The link was broken, so I fixed it. So much for assuming good faith.

I was mad...

I was mad when you said 'stop vandalizing' How come Frank in 30 Rock got to change a page on Janis Joplin and THAT wasn't reverted?!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.255.38.26 (talk) 19:53, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

You're an admin?!

I'm rather surprised that an admin would say something like "What sense does it make to remove sourced information?" --NE2 14:24, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

So you stand by the implication that it doesn't make sense to removed sourced information? --NE2 14:27, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

If there's little else to note, maybe it shouldn't be a separate article? I have a very hard time seeing how this error belongs in an encyclopedia, even a specialized one about county roads of New York. --NE2 14:38, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

You haven't explained why a database error belongs in the article. What makes this important enough for an encyclopedia? --NE2 14:45, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

The question isn't "What sense does it make to remove it?" but "What sense does it make to include it?" How does including it improve the article? --NE2 15:01, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Then we're at an impasse, since I see no valid reason for including it. --NE2 16:03, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Twin concepts

Hi, what is the procedure when an article, Twin concepts, which has been deleted after discussion, Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Twin concepts, gets recreated by the original creator? It seems like Vakeger is trying to address the criticism about the article being poorly cited, but in a very strange way: Twin concepts and . Normally, I would just speedy delete again, but there seems to be some level of good faith, so I thought I would ask for your opinion. I'll watch your talk page for a reply, or you can reply on mine. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk)

It looks like you spotted it. Thanks! Plastikspork (talk) 21:40, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

hi spotty

why do not you delete twin concepts from those articles listed under below? Are you going to disqualify that phrase and recommend the use of dualism instead? Funny guys you are. http://en.wikipedia.org/Special:Search?search=twin+concepts&go=Go If the concept ois the same then it is replaceable. How is that for a definition? Vakeger (talk) 06:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

pretty much different

I believe that twin concepts and dualism are not the same, first of all, because dualism is not defined, its crap. See my comment there Twin concepts is not my brainchild, so can do whatever you like, but it is a no brains attitude to lexicography not to answer criticism raised on why you do not have a proper definition of headwords, such as this one or anotehr one I pointed out. keep up the firepower... :-) Vakeger (talk) 21:53, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Why did you delete the California Taxpayers' Association page? I don't understand how an informational piece about what an organization does to inform the public is advertising. Cal-Tax isn't a for-profit business and is not trying to solicit anything. please respond rdbyu21 Rdbyu21 (talk) 22:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Well, as you can see it has nothing to do with an advertisement. Also, the subject is notable because it involves the oldest taxpayer group in california. you have left the posting of other taxpayer groups (eg Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Assoc.), but not Cal-Tax. PLEASE EXPLAIN!

Deletion of Bing Thom Architects Article

Hello - Just wondering if you could provide a more in depth explanation as to why this article was deleted. I read the full A7 clause but credibility and importance I think were made pretty evident in the article that was posted with the portfolio list and external links. --Kathychang (talk) 17:46, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the quick reply.

Responding to your critique of the subject not being notable, as a graduate of architecture, I have used numerous works by Bing Thom Architects' in case studies and research.

They are a reputable Canadian Architecture firm with renown built works at a national and international scale and have been awarded a diverse set of design and architectural awards, such as the Lieutenant-Governor of British Columbia Medal and the Governor General Medal from the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada - the list goes on. I would be able to provide extra content to the article with a full list of these notable distinguishments.

It is difficult for me to understand why it is possible for other firms (of similar caliber or less) such as Cohos Evamy and Diamond and Schmitt Architects to have articles up on Misplaced Pages. Shouldn't these articles be to the same high standard you are asking?

Please reconsider undeleting this article as you have agreed with me on its credibility and importance and I can add the list of awards to satisfy the notability of the article. --Kathychang (talk) 18:45, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

So adding the list of awards is not sufficient? What can I do at this point in time to undelete the article? Can I rewrite it and repost it? --Kathychang (talk) 18:58, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Cheers mate! --Kathychang (talk) 19:19, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks

For putting the NY 30 map in place. --Airtuna08 (talk) 19:32, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Need help!

Dear Julian

Greetings!

Our recent post on CozyCot has been deleted by your good self. First of all, please accept our sincere apologies as we are new to Misplaced Pages and may not know well enough about Misplaced Pages's policies of posting.

We sincerely seek your help in listing CozyCot as a women's site on this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/List_of_social_networking_websites

As it is a requirement to have a page dedicated to CozyCot before we could list her in the link above, we have thus encountered your deletion.

On this note, please kindly let us know if you could help us to edit the page CozyCot so that it fulfills the Misplaced Pages's policies. We are most willing to make a sincere contribution to your efforts.

You may reach me at clemen@cozycot.com.

Thanks so much!

Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of birthday songs

Hi, would you consider restoring List of birthday songs and relisting this AfD? The majority of the "delete" arguments were based on WP:COPYVIO and WP:NOT#LYRICS, which were both addressed by my total rewrite yesterday. After my rewrite, there came 2 deletes and one keep; but one delete was essentially WP:JUSTAPOLICY and a personal opinion, which failed to explain how WP:NOT#DIR or WP:NOT#GUIDE actually applied to this article; and the other failed to address how one would find such articles without a list article functioning as an index to them. While there may have been a consensus to delete before the rewrite, I think there needs to be more discussion on the state of the article to determine consensus after the rewrite. Thank you. DHowell (talk) 06:39, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Re your comment: "Actually, the majority of the delete "votes" were based on WP:NOTDIRECTORY, so I feel my closure was appropriate."

Actually, only 4 out of the 9 "deletes" (10 before Mandsford reversed to keep) used "not a directory" as a rationale, and only one of those came after the rewrite. And the three before the rewrite also brought up the copyvio issue and one brought up lyrics, so it is unclear that they would have argued to delete the rewritten, non-copyright-violating, lyrics-free, article. Since consensus was clear that the copyvio and lyrics issues were the major issues, there was insufficient discussion on the "not a directory" issue. If you're not willing to relist, I will bring to DRV. DHowell (talk) 04:36, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

1998 Comfrey – St. Peter tornado outbreak

Hi there- after a few months break I'd like to make another run at FAC for this article. Do you have any comments or suggestions about if you think it is ready? Rather than put it up for another peer review, I figured I'd just do a quick survey first in case people think one is not needed.

Honestly, I never quite understood what was wrong with it the first time (specifics) but I think I have found a few minor improvements here and there. WxGopher (talk) 05:33, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Urgent page protect

Redoubt Volcano, which I promoted to GA a couple weeks ago, is going to be under fire because of an imminent eruption. Could you please, please, protect the article from IPs or something?

Admin coaching?

Hey Julian, I tried to catch you on IRC earlier, but I had to go, anyway I was wondering if you would be willing to either be my admin coach, or try and recommend somebody better suited to me. I applied on the requests page, but seeing the backlog, I decided to contact some possible coaches and decided to ask you first. I would like a coach who would less focused on getting to RfA, and more the type to give me some feedback on my edits, tell me about ways to help out on the project, and set RfA as more as a long term goal than the focus of the program. Thanks--Res2216firestar 07:35, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

User:Balloonman is a good coach.--Patton 16:13, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi Julian! I see by the message at the top of the page that you're on a restricted WP schedule right now, but I thought I'd drop you a note anyways!
