[edit] Years in ST lists
Please don't add them. I removed them (or never added them depending on the series) because they are in the headers. Doing so is redundant and just clutters things up. Cburnett 17:51, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Agreed. What is the purpose of simplifying the memoryalpha links? I've gone through the trouble of properly italicizing the titles. Commander 19:23, Mar 14, 2005 (UTC)

- Touche, feel free to revert. :) Cburnett 22:10, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] fixing vandalism
Good work fixing Electron ionization from vandalism... Who vandalizes that type of page anyway? One of my favorite examples of the weirdness of people yet. Cheers, -SocratesJedi | Talk 00:31, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
- Heh, yes that was certainly a strange one. Thanks for the praise. Commander 03:53, Mar 31, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion
8th element youth outreach: non-notability isn't grounds for speedy deletion, but for a VfD. I've removed the speedy template and added VfD one. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:12, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Unsuspecting People The same goes for this one — only this time you put the {{delete}} template on it after I'd put it up for VfD; please don't do that. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:19, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Ellis Island
Hi, I'm not sure why you reverted the anon additions to Ellis Island as "vandal[ism]". There were inspection symbols chalked on the clothing of sick or otherwise "defective" hopeful immigrants, and a number only got into the country by surrepticiously wiping these off. I can't vouch for this specific list of inspection symbols (I personally don't have detailed enough information on the topic), but the general phenomenon is definitely real. Unless you have some evidence to the contrary that it is vandalism or false information, I'm strongly inclined to restore it. Thanks.--Pharos 09:39, 16 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- My mistake. The combination of non-standard formatting, and absolutely no explanation of how the list relates to Ellis Island led me to believe on a quick glance that it was extraneous information inserted into the article. I am reverting and formatting now, however a paragraph will need to be written to explain the list. Commander 14:00, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Copyright violations
You might note that copyright violations are not subject to speedy deletion. Instead, they the guidance at Wikipedia:Copyright problems--Henrygb 02:11, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- In this case it was more vandalism (they had no hope of being articles), and all 10 were speedily deleted. Commander 05:27, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
