[edit] My RfA
 |
Thank you for participating in my RfA, which passed with a tally of 91/1/4. I can't express how much it means to me to become an administrator. I'll work even more and harder to become useful for the community. If you need a helping hand, don't hesitate to contact me. NCurse work 15:50, 8 October 2006 (UTC) |
[edit] Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Charges.com.br
Can you explain why you thought my reason for deletion was "vague"? How could I get more specific than "Delete per WP:WEB"? There's no indication that this website or its content passes any of the criteria of WP:WEB. Thanks, Pan Dan 20:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks, that does help. You are right, I did mean the notability criteria at WP:WEB. Next time I cite WP:WEB I'll be more specific.
-
- Thanks! In this case, however, I really do think that this subject meets the criteria for notability, although I'll grant you it's not a slam dunk.
- I suppose since all the sources are in Portuguese, the article still fails WP:V (since non-Portuguese-speaking readers of the English WP cannot verify the content of the article), which maybe could be brought up as a reason for deletion in the future? Pan Dan 21:25, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
-
- Well, WP:V does not say that sources should be in English. Please see Wikipedia:Reliable_sources#Sources_in_languages_other_than_English, for example. Obviously, English sources are preferred, but of course for a Brasilian phenomenon we should not be surprised to find all, or almost all, of the sources in Portuguese. Anyway, this article can and should be massively cleaned up; I'm going to work on that a bit myself. -- Deville (Talk) 21:37, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

- You're right, I see that Wp:rs#Sources in languages other than English says specifically that non-English sources are acceptable where no English sources are available. Thanks for pointing me there. Pan Dan 21:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
- No problem! :D -- Deville (Talk) 21:51, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you very much for your support in my RfA, which passed on October 17, 2006 with a tally of 53/6/0. I am equally elated and humbled by my new capacity as administrator of Wikipedia, and I send my heartfelt thanks for your unflinching support. If you need me for anything, just ask me!

[edit] Samora Machel's fatal aircrash
You added a "fact" template to the Samora Machel article suggesting that the withdrawal of the Soviet Union and Mozambique from the international board of inquiry into the aircrash be regarded as speculative. Paragraph 24 of the referenced TRC report into the incident says:
- "The day after the crash, Mozambique and South Africa agreed that an international board of inquiry should be established with the participation of the International Civil Aviation Organisation. According to the Chicago Convention, South Africa, as the state on whose territory the crash had occurred, would head up the investigation. South Africa was, however, obliged to work in partnership with the state of ownership (Mozambique) and the state of manufacture (the Soviet Union). These countries were not, however, taken on as equal partners, and withdrew their participation after the initial stages."
Would you like to remove the tag, or should I do so?Phase4 09:56, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Chairlunchdinner, DCNanny and Markos Moulitsas
While I agree with you that the edits don't qualify as blockable vandalism, I think that DCNanny's actions qualify as socialism. Whether you love Markos or hate him, there's nothing to indicate that he holds anything near socialist positions. His readers are mostly liberals, he's a partisan democrat, but most of his positions are centrist or libertarian. DCNanny is inserting false, unsupported information into an article. And, while I don't see "socialist" as a slur, especially in a US context it tends to be seen that way. Re-inserting flase information 14 times is definitely problematic behaviour.

[edit] Gamestah Deletion Review
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Gamestah. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, your reasons on how or why you did so will be greatly appreciated in the above review. Alfreido 06:20, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] MedCabal
Hi, we have a heavy backload of cases at WP:MEDCAB and since you are on the mediator list I thought I would request your help. Thanks! --Ideogram 10:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Adams County, Pennsylvania
I don't know what you mean by "a lot of articles"; this is the only category I have redirected (in [my] recent memory) because it had only one entry (David Bard); I exhaustively searched Wikipedia and Google and he is the only person I could locate who was born in Adams County, Pennsylvania (much of which is now part of York County, Pennsylvania), and therefore I redirected to the generic Category:People from Pennsylvania. I did not touch the List of people from York, Pennsylvania, which I had recommended for speedy deletion, that only had one name as you observed yourself, and you updated it.
Personally, from what I have observed there are numerous categories which contain only one or two entries (or which were actually created with just one person in mind) and should be consolidated or redirected.
Please let me know if I am doing something incorrectly.
Hope Springs Eternal 17:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
- P.S. - Oops, I just remembered - I did create Category:People from Polk County, Florida myself, but after I realized that Lakeland, Florida is part of Polk County - the largest part - and had already (previously) been created as a separate category, the Polk County category made no sense, so I redirected to a new category I created, Category:People from Bartow, Florida, as it was that city, with only one exception, that was the birthplace of all the other entries from the defunct Category:People from Polk County, Florida.
Hope you could follow that. Hope Springs Eternal 17:43, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Silicon Investor
Re: "Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the page Silicon Investor. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted."
It wasn't a test. I think Silicon Investor is an important enough web site to justify an entry in Wikipedia. "Silicon Investor" gets 111,000 hits in Google. It has over 23 million posts from thousands of users. Its no Yahoo or Google in terms of usage but I'm sure the site gets more traffic then a number of sites that do have articles here. True the content was limited but I would have thought at least a discussion before deletion would be warranted rather than a speedy deletion. Twfowler 16:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Batesville High School (Arkansas)
I really don't feel that it has enough sufficient context to be have an entry. I read over WP:SCHOOL, and it doesn't seem like it's enough, either. I'm going to list it as an afd to get a better consensus. --Adam Riley Talk 04:44, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
- Hey there. Thank you for removing the speedy delete tag originally! Your vote for whether or not the article would be ok to keep would be greatly appreciated at the deletion page for it. (Note: I have fleshed out the article more to provide more content, and I plan on doing even more in the future on it) Thanks! (Cardsplayer4life 06:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC))
