== Image deletion log ==

Hi there... you comments about the image deletion log blanking you left on my talk page is not correct. Here is the quote from the top of the page:

<blockquote>
Note: Some of these pages may be fully or partially blanked. For a complete archive of what was nominated for deletion, you may need to check the page history. Strikeouts are completely blanked. Pages should be kept as blanked for archival reasons.
</blockquote>

Also, please have a look at the history of [[Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion/2006 March 3]] which shows another user doing exactly what I am doing. I am only removing the items where the discussion resulted in the deletion of the article. Any entries that are still pending (but why it is pending from March I do not know) are being left. It does not seem like the IfDs are handled the same way as AfDs. Thanks.--[[User:Gay Cdn|Gay Cdn]] [[User talk:Gay Cdn|(talk)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Gay Cdn|(email)]] [[Special:Contributions/Gay Cdn|(Contr.)]] 21:31, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
:I was unaware of such a fact until I checked in on the other IFD pages. I apologize. [[User:Ryulong|Ryūlóng]] 21:32, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
:: No problem, but would you mind striking through or commenting about this on my talk page. Not overly interested in having a vandalism warning on my page. Thanks.--[[User:Gay Cdn|Gay Cdn]] [[User talk:Gay Cdn|(talk)]] [[Special:Emailuser/Gay Cdn|(email)]] [[Special:Contributions/Gay Cdn|(Contr.)]] 21:45, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

== Hmmm ==

What's up with [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJimbo_Wales&diff=80088909&oldid=80086777 this edit]? It seemed like a pretty routine complaint.--[[User:Jimbo Wales|Jimbo Wales]] 00:09, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:I had originally reverted that because it was already a complaint filed on [[Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents#User:Centrx]] about Centrx's deletion of a user and user talk of a user who had made no contributions to Wikipedia outside of it ({{user5|Naruto 2.0}}). Since it was a duplicate posting that has been answered very well, and with Mr. {{user5|B&W Anime Fan}}'s history of disruption, I felt that it was unnecessary for him to have complained about {{admin|Centrx}} actions at both AN/I and [[WP:JIMBO|your user talk]].

It's definitely still on as far as I can tell, but I don't know what's new. Someone at RB is providing RAW encodes of the web videos, but he's only done it up to ep. 5. [[User:Arrowned|Arrow]] 00:54, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:I have it watchlisted, it's just that there's been no editting for a while. I figured that there hasn't been much of anything on that front in a while. I guess it's hard to find someone who can understand Thai enough for us to get more information for the page. [[User:Ryulong|Ryūlóng]] 00:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
::Very true. There's only one person I know on RB who understands Thai, and I haven't seen him in some time. Perhaps I should PM him. On the "is the show still going" note, I checked the official site just to be sure. I can't figure out what the last episode to air was, but the forum is still running full blast, there's recent candid pictures of the cast (less than a week and a half old), and Gymnastic Pink's actress added a blog post three days ago, so it's definitely still airing.

==Bleach-related edits==
Hi, first of all let me say thanks for your recent maintainance work on Bleach-related articles. However, please note that frequent Bleach-related article editors have agreed on naming conventions for Bleach-related articles, many of them are in archives of [[Talk:Bleach (manga)]]. I'm mainly talking about writing hollow/arrancar in lowercase. If you want to suggest a change in convention, please bring it up in the talk page. Thanks, [[User:Ynhockey|Ynhockey]] ([[User talk:Ynhockey|Talk]]) 19:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
:I apologize. I did not know that hollow and arrancar were put in lowercase; I thought that they were proper nouns and should have been capitalized. Thank you for pointing me to my error, and I will not repeat those little mistakes when I go about editting Bleach articles. [[User:Ryulong|Ryūlóng]] 20:18, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

== Hi ==

Are you an admin yet? I can recall a couple of times where you were prancing around telling me to stop vandalizing or else I would be blocked. Yet you wernt an admin, I always found that funny. How are you by the way?[[User:578|578]] 01:13, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Wow! love their alphabet - not sure I've seen that before. Sorry I haven't replied to your kind messages, I've been busy reading pages of Giano's RfAR and uploading images from Barcelona. I went mad and took over 350 - a choice selection is being uploaded to [[User:Mcginnly/Sandbox/Barcelona Images]], but it's taking ages. Barcelona is fantastic - for a 150 odd years the RIBA have awarded their gold medal to architects, archaeologists, historians etc. Only once was it awarded to a place - Barcelona. So much to see, feet had proper blister on them. I'm going to write up some of Igualada pretty soon.

Regarding the SI and SA template, I once tried to change the colours and design of the "architecture" template - it got reverted and a policy was quoted that they've all got to look pretty similar - I assume the SI and SA templates come under the same rule. We could change the image though, I'm not sure the spiral stair would be recognisable enough at that small size - I'll have a think, actually I've always really liked that Notre Dame du Haute image [[image:DSC 1425-p01-co-ronchamp-01.jpg|thumb|left]] failing that I took this in barcelona which I'm rather proud of [[Image:Casa Batllo roof.JPG|thumb|left]]. Kind regards --[[User:Mcginnly|Mcginnly]] | [[User talk:Mcginnly|Natter]] 23:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

== {{tl|nosource}} ==

Use {{tls|nsd}} rather than {{tl|nosource}} directly, as nsd when its substituted adds in {{tl|nosource}} but with date parameters. [[User:Kevin Breitenstein|Kevin_b_er]] 06:59, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
:Sorry I didn't reply before. Queens picture I tagged. The fair use image, sadly, probably needs a source too. Though the image is so old, makes me feel like a ass sometimes to want to tag them. The big issue is the source for fair image means we know who holds the copyright. Else there's no proof its a promo image, for example.

==Door and window==
Yeah I like that idea - I'm sure I read somewhere that the bronze/brass doors of the [[Pantheon]] are original and the oldest, still used doors in history - but then memory never was my strong suit - I'll do some digging. [[User:Mcginnly|Mcginnly]] | [[User talk:Mcginnly|Natter]] 21:59, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

Well this (non-citable) source agrees with me at least [http://www.virtualtourist.com/travel/Europe/Italy/Lazio/Rome-144659/Things_To_Do-Rome-Pantheon-BR-1.html] and says they're bronze, and here's a picture of them [http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://www.slowlane.net/travel/photos/Pantheon/Carmen_knocking_on_the_door_at_the_Pantheon.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.slowlane.net/travel/gallery/Pantheon/Carmen_knocking_on_the_door_at_the_Pantheon&h=600&w=400&sz=41&hl=en&start=2&tbnid=dOG9G_Dzbe9X5M:&tbnh=135&tbnw=90&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dpantheon%2Bdoor%26svnum%3D10%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26sa%3DN] - maybe there's something at the commons.

== [[:Image:Einsatzgruppen Killing.jpg]] ==
One of the things I asked when I wrote to the museum is for their rationale for designating the image as public domain. So we'll see what they have to say, I guess. As for [[:Image:Nordhausen camp.JPG]], the disclaimer that links from the image page concerns me a little. An excerpt from the FAQ reads:

3. May I put images or text from this Web site on a CD-ROM or general access Web site?

No, unless permission has been obtained in advance from the Museum. The permission of a third party may also be required.

Hello. I issued a warning about a week ago to [[User:24.52.112.234]], and I noticed that you have recently as well. Since that warning was issued, I have received a number of emails from wiki@wikimedia.org saying "Someone (probably you, from IP address 24.52.112.234) requested that we send you a new Wikipedia login password for en.wikipedia.org."

==Mini talk page template==
Have you seen this? [[Wikipedia:Mini Talkpage Template]] - maybe we should wait until it's resolved before picking an image/restructuring the template - to avoid abortive work. --[[User:Mcginnly|Mcginnly]] | [[User talk:Mcginnly|Natter]] 00:04, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
:New policy proposals have a way of often, ... languishing. Who knows what will happen with this one. As far as I can tell it just means that templates would be smaller on controversial and highly discussed pages. I don't think this is relevant to many architecture articles. They are rarely talked about much :-( And for the often discussed ones, I don't think talk page templates are a big deal in terms of space and such. Maybe they are just trying to minimize the impact of rejection ones, like the example cited. Who knows, [[User:DVD R W| DVD]]+[[User_talk:DVD R W| R/W]] 00:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

== Bush family conspiracy theory ==

Can you please tell me why you deleted the page "Bush family conspiracy theory" I happen to think there must be room at this site for different theories and that actual page had many which have been included in many books. It seems to me you are abusing your power by deleting pages like that one. —The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Freedomspeechman|Freedomspeechman]] ([[User talk:Freedomspeechman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Freedomspeechman|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

== re:Bush family conspiracy theory ==

Gwernol thanks for your reply regarding Bush family conspiracy theory. Can I start out by informing you Sarcasm is neither useful or called for I have a legitimate question which I put it to you!

I have read the basic rules and I do not agree with the decision you made, and as per wikipedia guidelines I am putting it to you!

I also believe that there was an earlier attempt to delete the same topic (Bush family conspiracy theory) in which it was overwhelmingly decided to keep the above mentioned page. I might also point out that the earlier discussion and later determination (to keep) had far more participation than the one that has now been made.

I might point out to that simply stating anti-bush, pointless or the like are far from an intelligent review of the content and is not consistent with the rules of wikipedia. Did you ask the author/contributor whether or not they understood how a document should be formatted ? Did you offer to help ? Or did it simply not fit you political beliefs ? When I read it last, Friday 19 May 2006, 5:56:08 AM it seemed fine and was very informative as to the views of a certain amount of people as to what is, as was clearly stated a theory! From memory some of the items did contain information from books and from NBC’s meet the press.

Pythagoras once had a bold theory that the world wasn’t flat but in fact spherical shaped. Lucky you didn’t have the delete power then or history may not have noted it. May I ask if you attempted to edit the work as per guidelines ?

There seems to be a growing problem with editors deleting items that they don’t agree with or imposing there own views with regard to things like abortion by stating that the an abortion is the death of a baby rather than the termination of an embryo people have different opinions I think and they could quite easily both be include rather then deleted and then there veiw imposed on everyone. I think the same can be said with you deleting the above mentioned document it had be discussed already and the consensus was to keep, your much smaller group later getting together to delete seems to me, to be and abuse of power. One which I hope you will reverse. Wikipedia does not support censorship. And i wont use it if it does!

Can you please take a second look and get back to me thanks _free —The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Freedomspeechman|Freedomspeechman]] ([[User talk:Freedomspeechman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Freedomspeechman|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

== [[Dwarf Fortress]] ==

Hi. I've speedy-undeleted the [[Dwarf Fortress]] article because I disagree with your analysis that the article doesn't assert the notability of its subject. Obviously, as the author of the most recent revision I may not be in the best position to judge, but I certainly don't think it's speedyable. Please take it to AfD if you disagree. Thanks! [[User:Nandesuka|Nandesuka]] 14:32, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

== Yeah thanks for the help ! ==

Just quickly now I’m being sarcastic. I happen to believe that there is more weight in the first discussion which had the participation of some 60+plus points of view with a decision to kept then a later on that had all of 14 points of view and a decision to delete.
Most people I think like myself who just use this site sporadically don’t know that we guard items I myself hadn’t seen either debated until I needed it for some work I’m doing.

As I’ve already made a copy of the comments of the 14 that were made none had
Useful content Statements.

Using a different term for a word is not wrong, however acting so childish like your ending may well be I’ve decided to seek other avenues to have this situation rectified.

And just for the record I wanted to view the page for a piece I’m writing for the newspaper I work for. I think that writing about how you act and use you power may in fact be more interesting to our readers.

I dont really see much difference between your actions and that of a group of vandals [[User:Freedomspeechman|Freedomspeechman]] 15:49, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

== More from Freedomspeechman ==
Gernol,
FYI one definition of encyclopaedia. Is an comprehensive reference work: that is a reference work offering comprehensive information on all or specialized areas of knowledge

By your action it no longer is comprehensive. As I cant find the item I want as you have deleted it though a sly second vote. Would you rip a page out of a book ? A vandal would I think. Does it make much difference to me if you did it because 14 people said you could when 60+ people discussed it and concluded you shouldn’t. Yes it does that’s why thought you were wrong and asked you to have a second look.

I guess we are not going to agree here.

Thanks for your consent should I chose to write about this it is much appreciated.

Oh an on the vandalisim did you read it ?
Vandalism is any addition, deletion, or change of content made in a deliberate attempt to compromise the integrity of Wikipedia. Sounds like your action given the history [[User:Freedomspeechman|Freedomspeechman]] 17:03, 1 October 2006 (UTC). —The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:Freedomspeechman|Freedomspeechman]] ([[User talk:Freedomspeechman|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Freedomspeechman|contribs]]) {{{2|}}}.

:I think you should go back to the original AfD and recount. You keep saying that it was "overwhelming keep" and "60+ people concluded it shouldn't". I just went back myself and recounted. There were 18 votes for keep, 25 for delete. Now, of course, an AfD isn't really a vote, it's an attempt to generate consensus, and while a clear consensus was not reached, it ''was'' leaning towards delete. At least have the intellectual honesty to concede that, instead of trying to misrepresent it as a keep conclusion.
:Secondly, you seem to be implying that this subject ''would'' be included in a paper encyclopedia...so if you can point to a page in Colliers or Britannica or World Book (since, by your definition, they are "an comprehensive reference work: that is a reference work offering comprehensive information on all or specialized areas of knowledge") that includes an article about this subject, written in the manner that it was, then I, for one, would reconsider my support. However, I doubt you're likely to find it. [[User:Akradecki|Akradecki]] 20:44, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

==The Clash==
Hi Gwernol. I saw your revert of the fact tag there. The info sounds vaguely plausible and I should be able to check two comprehensive biographies some time in the next day or so for references. If there are any other unreferenced bits in that article I can try and pick those up too. Best, --[[User:Guinnog|Guinnog]] 20:59, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

== Arbitration ==

Was just doing a quick scan of [[Wikipedia:Requests for arbitration]] to see if there was anything I should know about and was rather socked to see your name in the TOC! Glad to see it's nothing too serious though (as in you obviously haven't done anything wrong and it should get rejected straight off) :) [[User:Petros471|Petros471]] 21:39, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

== External Links ==

Hello Gwernol,

it's quite ok that you maintain the page
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dial-up_access
for intruders and advertisers.

Nevertheless, I thought it could have brought benefit to readers looking for a FREE internet dial-up access avauilable instantly without sign-up.
So I've placed a link to
http://foxyphone.tarife-fuer-ferngespraeche.de/#INTERNET
to show HOW TO.

But you removed that link.

Just tell me why, please.

If possible, send your feedback to luebke@usa.net , as I am rarely browsing this page.

Kind regards,
-Wolfgang Luebke-
http://foxyphone.tarife-fuer-ferngespraeche.de

== Not a commercial site ==

Site I suggested was removed due to being "commercial" yet the site sells nothing and offers a free service? All the other links try to sell you something, and the site I suggested actually offers a free internet speed test and I thought some people here would find it useful. I guess not.

== Another incorrigible vandalizer ==

I just reverted some vandalism of the [[Combustion]] article by another incorrigible vandalizer who needs to be permanently blocked. Take a look at his/her [[User talk:62.255.252.74]] page. Thanks in advance, - [[User:Mbeychok|mbeychok]] 15:50, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

== And Another ==

You temporarily blocked 216.73.64.6 a few weeks ago. Please consider a permanent block, as the account has apparently been unblocked to continue vandalizing. It's not really high-caliber or malicious vandalism, maybe it's just a young child, like a 7-year-old at home alone, so a permanent block might be useful for all concerned.

== Down's Syndrome ==

Gwernol, I was unware that the British Down's Syndrome was describing anything so I removed it. I meant no vandilism and I certainly regret it if it was taken as such. Thanks for the heads up - Wmgries

trisomy 21 isn't the "british name" for Down's Syndrome. I am an American and I have definetly heard the term in science classes before, its a scientific classfication. Sure British people may use the name exclusively instead of Down's Syndrome but the parentheses saying that British people use it isn't necessary to the goals of the article. I will now write this on discussion area in the actual article - I feel its unnecessary. I am sincerly sorry if you think that I have defaced the article, it was done in the hope of making a minor change to improve the article. Wikipedia is great! - Wmgries

Ok, thanks for clearing that up! - Wmgries

== Need guidance regarding extremely biased edits of [[California Air Resources Board]] ==

Gwernol, I hope that you can advise or guide me as to what to do concerning what are, in my opinion, some highly biased diatribes edited into the [[California Air Resources Board]] (CARB) article. The two edits involved were made today (October 6, 2006) by [[User:67.160.235.141]] at 14:40 and 16:30 respectively. You should read them in that time order to see what he has done. I realize that there are people who disagree with CARB for many different reasons, but these two edits use some very biased, sarcastic and derogatory comments. What is the best way of handling this? Is there anything that you can do or will do? I will watch for your response here on your talk page. Thanks, - [[User:Mbeychok|mbeychok]] 00:14, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

I made some edits to the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England England Page] which you have regressed. Can you explain why you decided to do this? The main edit I made was (once again) the removal of the assertion that the English Democrats Party is a far-right political party and the implied association with the BNP. I don't kno what agenda you are following but I find it offensive. I am not a member of the EDP but I do know several high-ranking members and the party is absolutely not far-right or racist.

== London is "very cosmopolitan" ==

Please explain to me why you keep inserting "very" into the London article. The claim that London is "very cosmopolitan" is hard to justify since there is no objective way to measure "cosmopolitan-ness", so how can we say that London is "very" cosmopolitan, while other cities (presumably) are merely cosmopolitan. Your addition makes the article less [[WP:NPOV|neutral]]. I should also let you know that Wikipedia has a policy against making more than [[WP:3RR|three reverts]] every 24 hours. Please do not put this edit back into the London article. Thanks, [[User:Gwernol|Gwernol]] 23:33, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Oh for pity's sake. It should be blindingly obvious that London is "very" cosmopolitan - just as New York is "very" dense and highrise, Tokyo is "very" futuristic, Paris is "very" beautiful, etc. You don't have to conduct some kind of test or study to come to this conclusion. Just take a stroll around the West End and you'll see the overwhelming multitude of different peoples and cultures flowing from literally every corner of the globe. Look at the countless different neighbourhoods around the city, occupied by tens of thousands of French, German, Spanish, Italian, Greek, African, Australian, Chinese, Russian, American, Arab, etc. etc... All of these people manage to live together in harmony. More languages are spoken in London than any other city in the world. I think you're being incredibly anal.

== AfD nomination revert ==

Thanks for revisiting your recommendation and changing on the [[Throat Gaggers]] article after I worked on it. I'm not attached to the topic (quite the opposite, actually), and don't know what possessed me to clean it up. I was wondering, though - if the nominator changes their recommendation, does that result in an automatic "Keep"? Or is that viewed as a rather strong "Keep" by the closing administrator? I'm not sure it ''should'' carry more weight, I'm just wondering if it ''does''. On a more personal note, I lived in San Francisco for 15 years and now live in Chicago. I miss SF every day.   :-(    Thanks.—[[User:Chidom|'''Chidom''']] [[User talk:Chidom|'''talk''']]  01:22, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== Comments on afd pages you advised me about before ==

On [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philip H. Farber]] a person has left a comment about me (the nominator). Do you think that it is inappropriate? Or is it related in this case?

I think what gets me into trouble is trying to clear out wikify backlogs. I end up tagging articles and every once in a while feeling like I should afd -- which I have sworn I would never do again. But the wikify directions say to do that if you feel it needs it.

My new resolution -- stay completely out of clearing up backlogs! I've done too much of that anyway. [[User:Mattisse|Mattisse]][[User_talk:Mattisse|(talk)]] 15:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== [[User:Zharta]] ==

Hi Aeropagitica, I'd like to talk with you about the block on this user. I believe its possible that I may be able to talk some sense into this one, so I'd like to consider lifting your block on him/her. The condition would be that if the user returns to adding nonsense to articles, I will reinstate the block without warning and with a longer duration (probably 1 week). Are you comfortable with this? Thanks, [[User:Gwernol|Gwernol]] 23:15, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
:Gwernol, thanks for backing me up on my talk page regarding this user. While I still feel that this person was knowingly vandalizing, I hope you don't feel I was too hasty in my decision to report him or her to AIV. I certainly hold myself responsible if the block is to be deemed inappropriate. That said, I will go along in complete agreement if this user is unblocked, and will continue to monitor him or her myself, if that's alright, while exercising neutrality and not rushing to any more conclusions. -- [[User:Omicronpersei8|Omicronpersei8]] ([[User_talk:Omicronpersei8|talk]]) 23:19, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
Please understand that my request here is absolutely not a critisism of either of you. The block (and the request for it) were '''totally''' appropriate. The only reason I'm making this suggestion is that I see some glimmer of hope that we can make a productive editor out of Zharta. I could well be wrong about this, in which case it will only reflect poorly on me, not on either of you. Hopefully the worst case is we have to revert a few more nonsense edits, and the best case is we gain a valuable contributor. Best, [[User:Gwernol|Gwernol]] 23:39, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

== Review of Block of [[User:Dschor]] ==

You reviewed this block, but you may have acted somewhat hastily in refusing to consider an unblock of this user. He was actually shaping up to be a useful contributor, but was victimized by the Arbitration Committee, which led to a months long ban and subsequent abuse by numerous administrators. I would advise you that an unblock with mediation would probably be superior to the current situation, as his block provides an unwelcome example of unfairness and out-of-process abuse by wikipedia's administrators and arbitration committee. --[[User:71.36.251.182|71.36.251.182]] 21:57, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

== Boco vs Boco (disambiguation) ==

Hi. I'm afraid that I have helped prolong the [[Boco]]/[[BoCo]]/[[Boco (disambiguation)]] mess identified in [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Disambiguation/Malplaced disambiguation pages]], although I did at least resolve its connection to [[Boston Conservatory]], for which I was given a barnstar! (Yes, I got fed up of typing 'BoCo' into the search box and ending up at [[Boston Conservatory]] rather than [[Boco the Diesel Engine]]!!)

If you look at the history for [[Boco]] you will see that it would be quite reasonable to move [[Boco (disambiguation)]] back over it, and delete the latter, since [[Boco (disambiguation)]] was only created from [[Boco]] in July. This is the activity identiified by that project, but requires an admin to do it.

I believe that it is ignorance, not a typo. People who are dumb enough to spell 'sentence' with an 'a' should not get away with just a redirect, but should have to work to find the article.

Hi. I was wondering if you could clarify a comment you made on [[User talk:Rhythmnation2004]]: ''"Please read this and understand that this is the way Wikipedia names articles. Articles do not have to have the same name as the subject they are about."'' Rhythmnation2004 seems to think the comment means that he is allowed to capitalise song and album titles exactly as they appear on the CD covers, regardless of what Wikipedia's style pages say ([[Wikipedia:Naming conventions]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Music]] stipulate that articles, prepositions and conjunctions in song and album titles shouldn't be capitalised). Now he's reverting wholesale any attempt made to clean up his edits, and he's becoming slightly uncivil again. I get the impression he thinks that song and album articles are to be treated differently from others and have their own "style" independent of the MoS, and that I just have a "bee in my bonnet" (so to speak); if somebody else (particularly an admin) had a word with him, he might recognise the importance of the style guidelines and policies.

I have another question: On DMOZ there are editors that will review one's work. Do you all do the same for wikipedia?

(There is another article that I've created that I'd love to have you look at. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seven_Management_and_Planning_Tools For some reason when I search for 'Seven Management and Planning Tools' I don't see the article.)
Thanks!!

You are too kind - but it is greatly appreciated, Noel
My very good friends, Elwyn and Dilys Jones (60 years married) have today had a card from the Queen - isn't that nice. Altogether, a very nice day - despite the weather! [[User:NoelWalley|NoelWalley]] 19:12, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

==Question==
I appreciate your advice, but I wonder...how do you keep track of your edits/ see how many edits someone has? -[[User:Ganfon|Ganfon]]

==User page vandalism==
No problem. I was going to block him though, and it would have been my first time! Never mind. (Don't you prefer an abusive, thereatening vandal, who then comes back and revises his spelling?) --[[User:Guinnog|Guinnog]] 01:20, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

==Adam Mickiewicz==

Hi, I've had a similar debate with this user on [[List of Iberian Jews]] about the inclusion of people based on some essays saying they "might" have Jewish ancestors. The information has since been moved to another page ([[List of Iberian Jews/Cervantes and Columbus]]). For one thing, even having genealogical research isn't evidence enough that "possible Jewish ancestry" has a lack of a basis, noting the comment on the talk page "However, genealogical research makes such an assumption rather improbable." (Wiktor Weintraub, "The Poetry of Adam Mickiewicz")." The user has the impression that if anyone anywhere on the internet has a speculation that someone is Jewish, it has to be noted or otherwise it's "cenorship." [[User:LaGrange|LaGrange]] 02:48, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

==Thanks==
Thanks for reverting whatever the heck that was on my talk page, I really didn't know what to make of it. Cheers.

== Adam Mickiewicz again ==

Grateful if you could look into this. I have now given an absolute cast-iron reference, the Encyclopaedia Judaica, which states unequivocally that his mother was a Frankist Jew. can you please stop people deleting well-sourced information.--[[User:20.138.246.89|20.138.246.89]] 10:44, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

Since my [[Welsh]] username is ambiguous I'm [[male]] but it's no big deal if you get the [[pronouns]] wrong.

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

== A quick introduction==

I'm a [[Brit]] but lived in [[San Francisco]] for nearly ten years; I have recently moved to [[New York]].

Since my [[Welsh]] username is ambiguous I'm [[male]] but it's no big deal if you get the [[pronouns]] wrong.

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

== A quick introduction==

I'm a [[Brit]] but lived in [[San Francisco]] for nearly ten years; I have recently moved to [[New York]].

Since my [[Welsh]] username is ambiguous I'm [[male]] but it's no big deal if you get the [[pronouns]] wrong.

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

== A quick introduction==

I'm a [[Brit]] but lived in [[San Francisco]] for nearly ten years; I have recently moved to [[New York]].

Since my [[Welsh]] username is ambiguous I'm [[male]] but it's no big deal if you get the [[pronouns]] wrong.

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

== A quick introduction==

I'm a [[Brit]] but lived in [[San Francisco]] for nearly ten years; I have recently moved to [[New York]].

Since my [[Welsh]] username is ambiguous I'm [[male]] but it's no big deal if you get the [[pronouns]] wrong.

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

=== Railway Interests ===

I'm a lifelong railway enthusiast, especially of the [[narrow gauge]] railways of [[Wales]]. I'm a life member and former volunteer on the [[Corris Railway]] and also a ex-volunteer of the [[Leighton Buzzard Railway]]. I'm currently working on a monumentally over-ambitious project to create the [[List of British Narrow Gauge Railways]]. Also dabbling with the [[Minimum gauge railways]] page and a few other railway projects in the Wiki world.

If it runs on rails less than 3'6" apart, I'm pretty much guaranteed to be interested.

==User Page==

Hi Logical2u, your user page was recently a victim of vandalism:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User%3AArdoMelnikov&diff=49359062&oldid=49350193

I have reverted the changes; I actually came here to remove my comment about the [[Moon for sale]] edit since we've resolved the issue on my [[User talk:TJDay|User talk]] page. Best wishes [[User:TJDay|T. J. Day]] 02:05, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

== Re: Difference Between Vanity and Notability ==

Technically, vanity is not a reason for an article to be deleted (see [[WP:AUTO]]); however, I'm sure that such a contribution would cause several editors to raise some eyebrows, myself included. The real question in deleting an article is typically whether or not the topic is [[WP:N|notable]] enough to warrant an article, not who wrote it. Often times, however, when the username is closely related to the topic of the article, it is regarded by same as fancruft, which typically leads to it being deleted, yet I would say that if the article is well-written and about a notable-enough topic, your username should not matter. That being said, you might want to consider [[Wikipedia:Changing username|changing your username]], as it's often a bad idea to name yourself after a notable character/person. [[Wikipedia:Username]] states that you should not "use the real name of well-known figure, especially one still living, unless you are that person," and it is typically encouraged that you use your own name or something close to it (i.e. my name is Daniel Cannon, but my pseudonym here is AmiDaniel). If you have any more questions, feel free to ask =). [[User:AmiDaniel|AmiDaniel]] ([[User talk:AmiDaniel|Talk]]) 22:20, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
:Alright, thanks Ami. I added a request to usurp/merge my current account with my old account from wikipedia, that uses my more prefered name. ATM I can't edit the article due to lack of time, but it was question that bugged me. Thanks for the Wikipedia:Username link, I wasn't aware of that at the time I created this account. I normally enjoy my internet privacy, however, but given a good reception (relatively consistently) from Wikipedia, I'm sure I'll change it to that, sooner or later. Thanks again. [[User:Logical2u|Logical2u]] 22:33, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
::No problem. I hope everything works out for you. [[User:AmiDaniel|AmiDaniel]] ([[User talk:AmiDaniel|Talk]]) 23:17, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

== Smart Merge: Moon for Sale/Extraterrestrial Real Estate.==
I'm going to revert one of your additions to ExtraTerrestrial Real Estate, ok? That way, I can work around the AutoBot and the Double Topic. Logical2u 19:03, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

:sure, do whatever it takes. Virgiliu

== Thanks! ==

Thank you very much for reverting the damage in such a timely manner. --[[User:TonySt|TonySt]] 22:26, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

== Margolis Process regarding Quarks. ==

**I think the Margolis Process is notable. [[User:24.97.82.65|24.97.82.65]]
:This was the statement removed from my user page. Reply is on the User in question's page.
[[User:Logical2u|Logical2u]] 18:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)\
:Update, June 1st. User in question vandalised one of my links in order to try to convince people that "I love the Margolis Process" which gets 0 Google hits and for some reason redirected me to Microsoft's main page... [[User:Logical2u|Logical2u]] 20:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
:Update, June 2nd. After removing said link because it was giving me trouble, User in question proceeded to vandalize my user page in a very blatant way.

==Hans Blinx???==
Greetings - not sure what the right protocol is here, but I would appreciate your attention to the article on Hans Blix, which you have recently edited. A user insists on inserting a section on False Statements that I think is clearly appropriate. Rather than just removing it (again), I hope to bring a few more cool heads into the discussion.

thanks much,

Steve [[User:67.172.157.77]] Unsigned.

== Re:Melnikov Disambig ==

I'm glad you appreciate the category addition. To explain the comment a little, user:Sheynhertz-Unbayg has been adding a bunch of pages (and adding a bunch of stuff to existing disambiguation pages) about German and Hebrew names and how they relate to eachother. No one is really quite sure what to make of these pages; they are obviously the product of hard work and lots of research, but his English skills aren't too good. Some of us have gathered them all up into cateogry:onomastics and began trying to clean them up some. Right now the consensus is that these could be useful eventually.

The Melnikov page that you added seemed like a '''much better quality''' page with the same goals as all the pages Sheynhertz-Unbayg has been added. I thought adding it to the category might help people who are trying to clean Sheynhertz-Unbayg's stuff up to see what an onomastics page could look like.

Never mind, I just did it myself. I was getting stressed out over the vandalism of [[WP:Search]] into a vanity article (Which actually ended up deleting WP Search) but I just reverted... but I lost the history of the page.

Actually, I just noticed that User:Kaisun is back to using the page Kaisun, which is the original Wikipedia Search Page, as her/his page... if you could figure out a way to move Kaisun and Talk:Kaisun back to Wikipedia:Searching and Wikipedia Talk:Searching and then protecting Kaisun and Talk Kaisun from Kaisun from creating an article about him/her self (Which caused the trouble in the first place) the edit histories would be restored and all the shit about redirects, double redirects, would be ended. Also, Kaisun needs a quick message dropped off... this stuff requires things like reverting, moving, deleting, etc... very beyond the average user... hopefully you are still watching this page.

== Userboxes ==

Sorry about that. I was under the impression that userboxes denoting certain skills, or affiliations could still be created in template space. I will recreate at my userspace. [[User:KnightLago|KnightLago]] 21:01, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

== Re: New Userboxes ==

Thank you for the note. I had done some research and asked around before making the templates, and found the [[Wikipedia:German userbox solution|German userbox solution]] page; it specifically states: <blockquote>"Userboxes can be of a clear value to the encyclopedia-building project. Examples include those related to claiming professional or academic expertise, '''WikiProject affiliations''', and claiming access to specialized resources and a willingness to conduct research using them upon request. '''Templates for these userboxes could stay in template space'''. Controversial and unencyclopedic userbox templates should be moved to user space."</blockquote>

All userboxes I created are affiliated with a WikiProject ([[Wikipedia:WikiProject Ancient Egypt|WikiProject Ancient Egypt]] and one for [[WikiProject Ottawa|WikiProject Ottawa]]) and I noted that very nearly all other WikiProject userboxes in [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Category:WikiProject_user_templates&oldid=68580894 Category:WikiProject user templates] are in template space. I understood that they would be safe, or that I would at least recieve a warning before they were moved. Luckily I created a backup last night at the suggestion of another user, so I will re-create them as subpages of my userpage or the WikiProject's page (as another user suggested).

I know that some were not in use yet, and I'm glad to see the ones that are have been left; but the ones not in use had only been created for one day and as yet I had not notified the WikiProject of the new versions. The reason for so many is that Gods, Goddesses, Kings, and Queens can be seen as icons of certain things, and not everyone might want a userbox that would associate them with possibly controversial subjects; for example, [[Akhenaten]] and [[Isis]]. Now the two remaining userboxes feature a controversial queen (the very much visible wife of Ahkenaten), and a female goddess who early on was viewed as protector of the '''liver-jar-god''' Imsety.

I would rather have these userboxes as subpages of the WikiProject, if at all possible, because my username is not an easy one to remember; improper capitilisation (''Editor at large'', ''Editor At Large'') and spacing mean links don't work. I have a problem remembering it myself, and I use it daily! I would appreciate knowing if they would be acceptable as subpages of the WikiProject before I go ahead and create them all over again.

I know you are busy, and I sincerely hope you don't mind my (very) long message!

Regards, — [[User:Editor at Large|Editor at Large]] ( [[User talk:Editor at Large|talk]]) 21:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

WikiProject-related userboxes should most definitely be created as subpages of the relevant WikiProjects. You can go create all the different userboxes with whatever images you want there. But having all of that stuff in template space is unnecessary. Thank you for understanding, [[User:Cyde|'''Cyde Weys''']] 21:12, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

You should go and revert your deletions of [[Template:User iso15924]] and the subpagges. [[WP:GUS]] does not allow this. You misused your admin rights.

In fact it is parameterized and can be used instead of 100 different ones on all the scripts in [[ISO 15924]]. Some of the sub stuff is only for seeing what's going on. If there is a better way to do the programming it should certainly be done. I did my best. If you could help with the programming it would be nice. In the longer run a similiar template could be used to replace most of the language templates. This could ensure higher quality since all the data only comes from 5 or so files.

== Deleting Template:User FAU ==

Cyde,
This is not "per GUS" as you claim. The section of GUS that states "no new userboxes in templates" is in between << double brackets >> which according to GUS itself should not be implement until there is consensus. As you can see from the Straw poll, there is not consensus that education userboxes should not be in template, therefore speedy deleting new education userboxes cannot be done "per GUS." I kindly request that you respect GUS, reinstate this template and not SD new userbox templates in categories that do not have at least straw poll consensus. --[[User:NThurston|NThurston]] 14:12, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
:This also applies to [[Template:User Bard College]], [[Template:User Postdam]] and [[Template:User Crane]] among possible other education userboxes. Also note that you incorrectly cited G4 in the latter two cases. This should not be done since "This clause does not apply if the only prior deletions were speedy or proposed deletions." --[[User:NThurston|NThurston]] 14:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Hello Cyde. Did you forget to unblock Zeq? He's been blocked since Aug 18 for "one week." Cheers, [[User:Clayoquot|Clayoquot]] [[User talk:Clayoquot|Sound]] 15:39, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:::Happening a lot lately. I wonder if he/they are vandals from the get-go, or if they just get so entirely addicted to the positive feedback they reap from vandal-hunting that they can't stand it when there's no actual vandalism for them to report, and they need to make up their own? —[[User:Bunchofgrapes|Bunchofgrapes]] ([[User talk:Bunchofgrapes|talk]]) 19:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

:::::As the old saying goes: "If you lie down with dogs, you're going to get dirty." Sooner or later, even the staunchest "vandal fighters" are going to get blood on their hands from having dealt with so many vandals and their methods. The problem, as with most vandal problems in my opinion, stems from over-dramaticizing and over-glorifying the life of the Wikipedia vandal. If we make our vandals out to be Jesse James-style outlaws, then our counter-vandalism guys are going to be tempted to think of themselves as self-righteous cowboys. That's a recipe for unnecessary drama, and it does not serve Wikipedia's best interests. Witness the existence of such things as the "Counter-Vandalism Unit," a group which clearly cribbed its name from the TV show "24." Do we REALLY need to go around thinking of ourselves as counter-terrorism experts and lawmen? We're just volunteer editors on an Internet project. Let's avoid the temptation to fall victim to the vandal myth we're trying to bust. [[User:Dr Chatterjee|Dr Chatterjee]] 00:46, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

== About User:2005 ==
I see that you've had trouble with this User:2005 in the past. Lately he has been disrupting me as well. His main behavioral problem is that he is an unscrupulous editor, who does not think about others before editing, reverting, or deleting their work. He is quite inconsiderate, and usually it's "his way or the highway". Plus, he never abides by the "3 revert rule". Should we do something about this?

Hi; I'm a friend of this user, and I can definitely confirm he's not a vandal, or a WoW sockpuppet (I've blocked WoW on my MediaWiki installation about 10 times now!!). I know him in real life (away from Wikipedia!), and I can confirm this - I just spoke to him today. He's a good friend, and someone I know.

Cyde,

I am so sorry for re-creating the userboxes. I kept thinking that it had to do with the image ([[:Image:Satterlee.jpg]]) that I was having trouble with and not the German Userbox Solution. It will not happen again. --[[User:Jondude11|Jondude11]] 21:13, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

== Category move ==

A few months back you moved [[:Category:Wikipedia navigation templates]] per CfD to this somewhat 'wrong name' wrt to meaning and use, albeit correct with respect to category [[NAMCON]]. As the project has stablized and 'matured' this name on other sister projects is problematic, and it would be far more appropriate to replace 'Wikipedia' with 'Interwiki' as the title.

As in [[:Category:Interwiki utility templates]], {{W2c|Interwiki utility templates|and this sister-1}}, {{WD|Category:Interwiki utility templates|and this sister-2}}, {{Mw|Category:Interwiki link templates| Interwiki link templates }}, etc., and et. al.

Can you just rename it since you choose the name back when, or do we have a speedy rename procedure in [[WP:Cfd]] that can stabilize this name so I can copy same more apropo name on the other [[sister project]]'s? re: {{Tlx|Interwikitmp-grp}} links to sister's... My current nemesis project! Reply here or {{ut|Fabartus|Here!}} Thanks // [[User:Fabartus|Fra]][[User talk:Fabartus|nkB]] 21:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

*Endorse [[User_talk:Cyde#Request_of_re-categorization |this move request above]], The project on the commons to do a top down naming heirarchy isn't wholely researched, but this part of it is set. I've been working with {{Ut|David Kernow}} on the project, and we were waiting while we resolved geo-political divisions and subdivision questions. I can tag the one's listed above with category redirect if you like. I'd tagged the parent {{Cat|Historical maps of Europe}} with category redirect2 as it and those containing maps need worked through for category compatibility on the commons. But if your Bot just changes the image cat and leaves others alone, we can catch up with such on that side if we transfer them up and over. Note the {{lts|Commonscat1R}} tagging on '... Europe'. You can use the links on that assuming you can parse out 'maps' cats and move any we tag once we get going again. (That's how all this sister tagging got started in the first place! <g>) I'd just asked David whether we should goto Cfd with a blanket request or such.

Also [[User:SledDogAC|SledDogAC]]'s response in a new section undernethe, long, windy, soapboxy and pretty much saying nothing then the same thing he posts in the articles (he even added the same content till an admin snipped it, just to get a POV out there, hopefully into a cache somewhere I suspect). Anway, I'm requesting that someone look into this, his contributions show an extreme narrow focus (3 articles only) and some major POV pushing, long editorials. The other users and I have attempted to reason with him on his talkpage and nothing seems to work.

:I guess to make vandals less prominent? It doesn't matter whose sockpuppet was a vandal, but these template create an impression of noted vandals being glorious leaders of vandal armies. It tempts some people to join the brave brotherhood on wheels, and others to become as prominent by following the path of heroes and creating their own vandal cult.

==Wikipedia:Long term abuse/North Carolina vandal==
Hi,

I restored this page. I'm assuming good faith that you failed to notice its MfD ended in a "keep" today, signed off on by our colleague Doc Glasgow. Another debate (on WoW) was just closed as a delete by me. It's clear that WP:DENY is likely to win the day, and that many of these pages will be gone soon... so let's try to act in an orderly fashion and not delete willy-nilly, eh? Someone might have needed that page; it was wrong to speedy it just after a keep MfD, especially since Doc agreed that deleting right now would ''violate'' WP:DENY by making a vandal very happy. Best wishes, [[User:Xoloz|Xoloz]] 06:30, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

== There is no reason to block [[User:TheM62Manchester]] ==

Cyde,
please unblock {{user|TheM62Manchester}}. He is NOT {{user|Sunholm}}; they are two very different individuals. They seem to have been tag-teaming on a computer as far as I know; one uses the computer one day/week, the other the next.

TheM62 makes legitimate contributions, but Sunholm seems to be playing about with Wikipedia. I hope you can accept this fact, and unblock it; I can verify it for you!

===[[Dark Galaxy (computer game)]]===
Video game spam, fails [[WP:WEB]] --[[User:Wafulz|Wafulz]] 02:02, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
*'''Comment''': I strongly disagree with the deletion of this article. But firstly I am am a frequent Wikipedia reader but have never contributed personally, and hence some of the comments on this page are extremely difficult to understand because of the slang and abbreviation they use. I feel this is somewhat intimidating for anyone that is not within the Wikipedia community to contest a deletion and in particular this one. As I am not an enthusiast, my opinion on the subject of deletion is therefore perhaps not quite as learned as others versed on Wikipedia definitions, however I do not feel that it is any less valid. I am a [http://www.darkgalaxy.com/ Dark Galaxy] player, and this first came to my attention when [[User:Wafulz|Wafulz]] posted on the [http://www.turnengine.com/forums/ Dark Galaxy forums] in a rather menacing tone threatening to delete the article if anyone reposted. I took offence at the aggressiveness and the threat of deletion and so I post here to try to prove there is no scheme by anyone associated with Dark Galaxy to advertise using Wikipedia. As far as I can see, there seems to be two accusations here; Advertising and lack of notability. Wafulz kindly links to a [http://www.turnengine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32859 thread] which purports to be part of an advertising drive, as evidence of a purpose to advertise, however Wikipedia is not mentioned at all in the thread until Wafulz does so. The thread is a little under three months old, however there has been a Dark Galaxy article on Wikipedia for several years. In fact, the DG Wikipedia article was in existence long before the [http://www.darkgalaxy.com/manual/Main_Page DGWiki game manual], which is referenced by [[User:Tychocat|Tychocat]] as a source of information that has been lifted directly to the Dark Galaxy Wikipedia entry. However in all probability the text in the DGwiki game manual was lifted FROM the Dark Galaxy Wikipedia article. The article was originally posted by a group of DG players from [http://www.somethingawful.com/ SomethingAwful.com], and was an independent action unknown by the rest of the DG community and creators. There is no motivation or purpose to advertise, however that doesn't change that the article still may be considered as advertising. I believe the article can be changed if it constitutes an advert, and this is the action I would support as opposed to deletion. As for notability, I think that this is something extremely difficult to prove or disprove in the case of a game thousands and thousands of people have come into contact with. The original article was not written by an official from Dark Galaxy, though it was written by a player(s). I understand the questioning of this as DG has no great notability perhaps; however it does have notability nonetheless. I think an editing to lessen the effects of accused advertising is the best course of action. --[[User:Tatsyrup|Tatsyrup]] 15:27, 2 August 2006
**Then it was my mistake to assume that you had been behind the article. However, it doesn't matter who is behind it- it still merits deletion for failing to be notable and for basically being an advertisement.

*'''Comment''': There is some consensus that no matter the motivation or author, there is some advertisement in the article. I however disagree with the notability. Over the years, the article has been edited heavily and I no longer recognise it from when I last viewed it some months ago even. These edits have created the advertisement. I proposed that the article be changed to satisfy all that there is no longer any advertisement, merely information. I suspect some still have notabilty issues, however is this not a fair compromise? --[[User:Tatsyrup|Tatsyrup]] 15:49, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
**'''Comment:Reply''' Unfortunately, no. It's not just that it's an advertisemen; it doesn't meet notability standards- why should it be on Wikipedia if it's not notable? Online browser-based games are a dime a dozen, and this one has no reliable third party sources to indicate merit. --[[User:Wafulz|Wafulz]] 15:53, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
*'''Delete'''. Only the most notable browser games deserve articles. For example, Kings of Chaos deserves an article simply for its success and history, let alone its popularity. Ogame has an article justly, because at last count (over 6 months ago) it had over 2 million active players in Germany, IIRC. Dark Galaxy... while I've heard of it, I don't think its notable enough to justify a Wikipedia article.

**'''Comment to Comment''' - Pulling the "notible" card is an unwinnable argument for both sides. No matter how notable a topic, or in this case Dark Galaxy is, it is easy to simply dissmiss it with one subjective opionion that "that's not notible enough". This article needs to be rewritten, and wikified. It needs a NPOV, regarding the good and bad of Dark Galaxy, but does not deserve censorship. Delete this, then delete all under [[List of MMORPGs]]. Why not be amenable to rewrite? [[User:Cwhitedog|Charley]] 19:36, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
***'''Comment'''. [[WP:N|Notability]] is not a "card" - it's a proposed policy on Wikipedia.

**From the [http://www.turnengine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32859 thread] posted earlier, I got the impression that the game wasn't finished yet. It doesn't seem appropriate for Wikipedia to have an article on a browser-based game that hasn't even been completed- this is borderline crystal-balling. I've also noticed that several of the articles in the list of MMORPGs are also up for deletion, so I don't know if you've considered that. This is not in any way censorship- if the game becomes more popular, wins an award, receives mention from a reputable third party source, or becomes more meritable then it might be eligible for an article. At this moment though? I still say no. --[[User:Wafulz|Wafulz]] 20:04, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Revise to fulfil requirements''' To put a name to this, I am the author and I wrote this article to fill the void of the empty page associated with the 'Dark Galaxy computer game' heading which came up when I originally searched. I didnt realise that there had previously been issues with articles about Dark Galaxy, but the presence of a heading is somewhat misleading, both to those searching, finding no article under that heading, but also for me, as I would have avoided writing this if I had known of the issues surround the topic. If the topic is not worthy of an article, then why have a heading?? I dont mean to whinge, because if the article doesnt meet requirements then fair enough, but arrogant speculation about my intentions regarding advertising is unwelcome, as I am merely a player who enjoys the game, and also interested in contributing in many information repositories online, be it in a forum, a review, or in this case by submitting to wikipedia. The article is not meant to read like an advertisement, and I can assure you I have no ties with any member of the Dark Galaxy team in any way. I can't actually see where it reads like this. It's not like I have said 'this game is the best, come join up and play' or offered any incentive or tried to draw people in. I just tried to outline the game and how it works. I also don't see how it can be an advertisement when there is no commercial gain from a player signing up. It's free and there is no obligation to give anything in return for playing. What am I advertising? OK admittedly there is the possibility to join the premium membership, but that is completely optional and not necessary to access the FULL game. Also, the copyright issue, I was under the impression that an attributed reference, quoted and not attempted to be passed off as my original work was merely a quotation / extract, and not an infrigement. But it is not only the technical details which baffle me... I spent a significant amount of time authoring the article, and as commented, yes it was my first, but why should that be any line of reasoning for deleting my article? I was under the impression that input was an important part of wikipedia, and I didnt realise that fresh input from a new user would be so hostily met. It doesn't encourage new users to contribute, nor does it give me any inclination to try and submit again. As I said, I can accept it if the criteria are not fulfilled or I have overstepped the mark on a regulation. It is my first submission and I could not be expected to take in every last minute regulation plus I am only human, with an individual style. I followed the guidelines on first posts etc offered by Wiki and tried to follow the suggestions, but obviously I fell short. Due to references to regulations I have breached, I cannot offer a 'Do Not Delete' opinion, it is not my turf, nor my rules, but I do feel that rectification of the article to fulfil requirements would be a better course of action. On rereading I agree that the NPOV is an issue, as I have unknowingly written merely from a proDG POV, but that can eaily be changed. There are things about the game that I or any established player who understands the game could give contructive criticism for. The notability is a tough one since as mentioned, the game does tend to appear only in game directories, but surely there are reports which do exist, it is a big game (on reputation I mean) but nevertheless the fact that the game has run for I believe 5 years or more, from its humble beginnings to its latest incarnation with multiple servers running and has long had a well established user base of thousands of players actively involved. Apologies if I am barking completely up the wrong tree here, I am not well versed in the ways of Wiki but I am a little agrieved that a genuine and honest attempt to contribute has been met with such comments, and although I accept intrinsic faults in my style, I don't see a well founded basis for many of the rejections offered. Would someone who is a seasoned submitter mind revising the article to an acceptable state, or merely pointing out where it needs to be revised so I or someone can do it in the hope of achieving a satisfactory balance that everyone can get one with. --[[User:Beemat|Beemat]] 02:20, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
:'''Comment''' The "headline" for the article didn't exist. That is how Wikipedia works- if it cannot find an article under a name you have searched, it allows you to create an article under the heading. However, this is is no way an invitation to create an article for every heading.

:And regarding advertising:

:''[http://www.darkgalaxy.com Dark Galaxy] is a '''free''' online, browser accessed, turn-based strategy game using 'Turn-Engine' game creation technology.'' Right off the bat, the first sentence emphasizes the game's website and the fact that it is free. Then in the conclusion:

:''This is a basic and although it may not seem so, it is a very brief outline of a highly intricate and feature packed game, and many of the advanced features, strategies and methods have not been mentioned. The best way to learn and eventually master the game is to play. It is a great deal of fun, and a sense of achievement is easy to attain of enough attention is given to the game. Success is relative to the amount of time and effort put in, with the most successful and dominant players logging in multiple times per day throughout the whole round and entering commands even in the early hours of the morning if required. This is not to say that anything less is insufficient. A player can have just as much fun logging in once a day or even less, although this would rule out entering the upper player ranks.''

:There is significant emphasis to the reader that he/she should play this game. It reads like one long essay describing the merits of the game, why you should play, and how to play it- more importantly, none of these are reasons meriting a Wikipedia article.

:The reasoning behind the deletion proposale is '''not''' because some of us don't welcome new users or hate this article- it's because we don't find the game to be particularly notable or verifiable, and these are two important aspects of an article. This is all in addition to its article reads like an advertisement. --[[User:Wafulz|Wafulz]] 03:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Comment to comment''' The heading was indeed already there. I merely searched 'Dark Galaxy' and the heading 'Dark Galaxy (a science fiction strategy game) turned up at the disambiguation page. I never specified 'sci fi startegy game' thus I came to the conclusion that it was already there. If it had have been just 'there is no article...you can search for it yada yada yada' I wouldn't have written anything simply because there would probably be a reason it didnt exist. As to the idea that it is 'not an invitiation to create and article for every heading' I had no intention of writing under every blank heading, and I dont understand this comment since the way a topic gets covered is by someone submitting an article about it. If everyone thought 'oh its blank, I'd better not write anything' then where would Wikipedia be? This however is neither here nor there... I dont mean to get into a rant. About the article (which after all is what we are here for!) What I do agree now is that fair enough, I can see how that might be construed as advertising, and I see I should have been more objective and less opinionated and of a proPOV, but I still think that it warrants a rewrite more than deletion. I'm not fighting a cause just for the fun of it, because at the end of the day if it's gonna go its gonna go. I assume, like me, alot of people use Wiki to find out about endless number of things, and although its a game, the information is (or after a rewrite would be) more useful and extensive than the short blurb I have ever found elsewhere. Just wondered, if I did find 3rd party reports on the game (notable sources obviously), would linking them here go any way to show notability? Because although it has not been found by a quick Googling, it doesnt mean a) there isnt any, or b) the game isnt notable enough. By nature and genre, it is not going to be all over the headlines, just reported in related places. Regards --[[User:Beemat|Beemat]] 09:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
**Then that means somebody forgot to remove it last time it was deleted. Also, yes, reputable third party sources that are unaffiliated with the game would be nice to have.

I appreciate the advice! If it weren't that Doright has been doing this kind of the since the very beginning of his editing last December, I might be inclined to let it go. But this is his way of trying to win his edits over others. If you have a moment, take a look at his contributions. I tried not engaging him at all, but that just encouraged him to continue. I would appreciate it if a neutral admin would call him out on this behavior, but none seem interested in it. So I decided to offer to engage him again, if he would stop personal attacks. So he continued. He even suggested that a teen editor should show his parents my communications with him because a clergyman sending files to a teen.... Musical Linguist called him on it, and he attacked her.

My reason for going the way I did was looking for someone besides me to tell him to knock it off. (notice I didn't call for a block)

Yes, I would never take administrative action on any page I'm involved in, probably not even and Sprotect. I have a lot of practice with recusal in real life. I also would never take action on any user I've been engaged in, friend or challenger, including Doright. I would hope to help others out with difficult situations. I also watch a number of pages for vandalism and would be most likely to do Sprotects on these. If you want to see a recent intervention of mine, take a look at [[Jews for Jesus]] and the messages I sent to the new user Moshe Rosen and my friend Humus Sapiens on a very sensitive issue. --[[User:CTSWyneken|CTSWyneken]] 10:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

== AFD Counters ==

I'm not sure I see the benefit of restarting the AFD counter on a relisted article. After the first 2 days I find exposure to be low, most people don't seem to go back 3 days or more to check old AFDs to see if they require comments, and what about controversial AFDs like this one [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Star_Trek:_Enterprise_alleged_continuity_problems_%28third_nomination%29] I relisted it to ensure a proper concensus as I felt, and a couple others pointed out that it would be easy for a few fans to muddle it into no concensus, so keeping exposure up was the key to ensuring a proper general concensus and feedback on this article. Though that doesn't serve much purpose if the AFD becomes extended from the relisting and the exposure to the general public drops but people with an interest would have additional time to attempt to drive a no concensus on the article. Perhaps I'd be a bit less leary of that if I didn't see so many AFDs closed on what appears to be a vote and not on the arguments for each side. Maybe I'm missing something from the process here. --[[User:Crossmr|Crossmr]] 22:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

:''First off, sorry for the delay in replying.''

:''Looking at the example you provided I think you have a different understanding of what relisting is compared with what I've always assumed it to be (I'm not an AFD expert, so I don't claim to be an authority of the subject). Normally relisting is only done at the end of the 5 day period, and then the AFD subpage is moved back to the current day's log page. Am I right in thinking you are moving the subpage of an article back to the current days deletion log before the end of the 5 day period? As the page admins use when looking for AFDs ready to close is based on what days log page the article is listed on, not when the nomination was created, relisting by almost by definition resets the 5 day counter. The exception to this is if an admin has re-listed and is watching the discussion, and decides that consensus has now been reached and closes it before the extra 5 days is over (or another admin coming across it thinking the same thing).

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Hammer (porn actor)]] ==

You closed that as a '''no consensus''' - I think if you look again, you'll see that was a '''keep'''.

The nominator wrote "Not sure if this guy fits the notability criteria for pornstars on WP... Any porn buffs wanna help out?" - that was his entire comment. Four other editors commented. The first, the only one "voting" '''Delete''', said "I'm not a porn buff", specifically in response to that question. The other three all voted '''Keep''' and cited [[WP:PORN BIO]], which is the proposed "notability criteria for pornstars on WP". There is no other. (Joe Beaudoin, who didn't explicitly cite WP:PORN BIO, only cited my argument which cited it, in fact originated WP:PORN BIO. You can also take a look at his signature. :-) ) That's pretty clearly responding positively to the nominator's request. We may or may not be porn buffs in general, but we know a thing or two about porn on WP.

Therefore, I believe the nominator's "vote" should essentially be interpreted as a '''keep''', since he seemed to be deferring to the opinions of more knowledgeable editors, and all he got were "keep"s. Even if you don't buy that argument, clearly the nom never argued for deletion.

That makes either 75% or 80% for Keep. If you don't like the numerical tally, and prefer to look at the arguments, the only argument for deletion was "Fails WP:BIO, does not assert notability" - and I asserted notability by adding film count to the article.

Whew. All that arguing for an almost academic distinction between keep by consensus or keep by no consensus. :-)

== Eh? ==

So he is allowed to file one on me but I cant file an RfI on him? I think I have a legit claim to trolling and personal attacks but then again I have been inactive for over a year so my thoughts dont count on wikipeida. I think my RfI or whatever they are called aginst Farm is legit and if it isnt why did I go through all the trouble of posting it on the RfI page? It seems whenever something is edited that isnt to the liking of someone its called vandalism makes no sense. Take the Gotem article Farm wanted it VfD that failed now he wants an RfM on it when is it going to stop?

Also a simple IP check or just looking at when and what I edited, or all the typos I am to lazy to fix, shows quite clearly that I am not a sockpuppet. By accusing me of being a sockpuppet you are making a personal attack as it is unfounded (Go ahead check the IP's see for yourself).

How can you say there is lack of evdeince for Fram's trolling. Every artilce we make he is there (often times the only one, just go look at the gotem VdF page) bitching and moaning about it, asking why we even care about it as we have never seen the place. If you want me to show you all the links I will, and if you still claim it isnt trolling I dont know what wikipeida is about as on any other form what fram is doing would be called trolling.

And he is right block me and if I feel the need to edit again I will just change my IP what are you going to do block the entire IP range for my ISP in Gainesville that I dobut.

Besides, I routinely investigate the reporter as well as person reported in cases like this so there wasn't really any need to keep two reports around. I didn't say you were using sockpuppets, I was warning you not to as you have threatened to, and that still applies. [[User:Petros471|Petros471]] 20:44, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:The claim that Fram was the only one opposed to the Gotem article is factually incorrect. I also intervened there once I discovered why all these funny articles were being added about non-existing places in my neighbourhood. I personally think Fram should not have dropped the RfD (and even started to correct some things in [[Gotem]] - so to claim he still wants the article deleted is uncivil) as it would only encourage people over the East Flanders articles. Note that [[User:578 | 578]] has conceded that he helped write the original version of the Kottem article:[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Kottem&diff=next&oldid=59523270] The hoax articles about [[Eiland]], [[Polfbroekstraat]] and [[Kottem]] were created to support the notoriety of Gotem, and so it is perfectly understandable that the RfM is called that way.

== My Statement ==

Thank you very much for fixing the typos in my statement! I was mediating [[Portal talk:Taiwan]] at the same time, and it was become very heated and angry in there. I guess I shouldn't have tried to do both at once huh ;) Anyway, thank you very much indeed.

==RFA criteria==

''I noticed your !vote on [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Joshbuddy]], and took a look at your criteria from that. I saw you have 4500 edits total. I think that is rather on the high side. In an extreme example it is possible for someone to have written hundreds of articles, several of them featured, posted many thoughtful and helpful comments on various talk pages showing a deep understanding of how Wikipedia works, being civil, having the right attitude etc, and still have less than 4500 edits. Of course it is also possible that someone has done many 'quick and minor' edits to reach that total, without showing an understanding of policy etc. I guess I'm just trying to ask you to assess a candidate based on their actual experience rather than simple a number.''

''Also there are quite a lot of re-directs surrounding that page (especially from the talk page), it would probably be worth fixing them (the double ones at least). [[User:Petros471|Petros471]] 17:21, 22 June 2006 (UTC)''

This is only a suggestion though, I respect editors have very different RFA criteria from each other, and that's fine (well as long as it's not based on something totally stupid like sex, race or something like that).

That includes links like [[WP:AFD|articles for deletion]], [[WP:RCP|recent changes patrol]], and lots of other maintenance type things.

== Petros471 Abuses Adminstrative Priveleges ==
This administrator has protected the [[Prayer]] page and has locked in an unbelivable bias.

Semi-protection is intended to allow good edits to be made while preventing vandalism of the page. There are some situations in which it should not be applied. It is:

* not to be used to deal with regular content disputes. See the protection policy for how to deal with this;
* not intended for pre-emptive protection with the exception of some biographies of living people
* not for the day's Featured Article, which should almost never be protected;
* not intended to prohibit anonymous editing in general.

Article-talk pages are not protected as a rule, except in special circumstances. User-talk pages subject to persistent vandalism or trolling may be semi-protected or protected on request.

Semi-protection should only be considered if it is the only option left available to solve the problem of vandalism of the page. In other words, just like full protection, it is a last resort. Remember to lift the semi-protection after a brief period if appropriate. {{unsigned|70.8.99.43}}

: Thank you for the reminder of the semi-protection policy. I am familiar with it, and am confident that I have applied it correctly in this situation. Continually adding the same links against consensus is not a good idea, and in this situation is distinctly looks like spam. It would be far better for you to suggest the reason why the links should be added on the article's talk page, and obtain consensus there for their inclusion. If there is no consensus to include them, they should be left out of the article. Continuing to add them can be seen as vandalism, hence the semi-protection.

== A short Esperanzial update ==
As you may have gathered, discussions have been raging for about a week on [[WT:ESP|the ''Esperanza'' talk page]] as to the future direction of Esperanza. Some of these are still ongoing and warrant more input (such as the idea to scrap the members list altogether). However, some decisions have been made and the charter has hence been amended.

Basically, the whole leadership has had a reshuffle, so please review the new, improved charter.

As a result, we are electing 4 people this month. They will replace [[User:JoanneB|JoanneB]] and [[User:Pschemp|Pschemp]] and form a new tranche A, serving until December. Elections will begin on [[2006-07-02]] and last until [[2006-07-09]]. If you wish to run for a Council position, add your name to the list before [[2006-07-02]].

== How to file an RFI ==

How do I "correctly" file an RFI then. As its pretty obvious that Farm is trolling around. First he tried to speedy delete Gotem after it had been around for a year, then when that didnt work he tried to do an AfD then when that didnt work now he is doing a RfM, I am postive that if RfM dosent work out to his likeing he will do a RfA. Where does it stop, he is the only person leading this crusade against us. Does it mater that we are from the US, no. If an article is allowed to be on wikipeida it shouldnt matter who writes it, however he seems to think otherwise. I cant recall what the first project was (the one that spawned wikipedia) but there it did matter who wrote it. As long as the article is factualy sound and allowed I think it should be allowed. Farm on the other hand goes from one article we make to another and he is almost always the only one sitting there throwing a fit and then he will get other people to join in. Now if wikipeida doesnt see that as trolling (which is when someone just goes from place to place stirring up trouble where it isnt needed [See GOTEM where it had surived a Speedy Delete over a YEAR ago and then he tries to do it again) I dont know what is. If you want I can go through and look at all the times he has trolled however I am not going to do that untill I know EXACLTY how to wade through the layers upon layers upon layers of red tape that is wikipeida. Its funny how wikipeida has tried to limit the red tape and by doing so has made a whole lot of it. So how do I file a correct RFI and what all do I need.

And he was spaming my talk page (like I said to the other guy who left a note on my talk page about the whole Computer thing, I clicked the wrong link shoot me, look through my edits and you will see I have been doing some vandal reverting) So that wasnt done on purpose, then he claims my additions to the talk page about gotem were "vandalism" becuase he didnt like what I had to say. Then he comes and spams up my talk page, so I gave him a warning.

EDIT: how could I use sockpuppets if you banned my username "578" from making any edits? I cant bypass that ban. [[User:578|578]] 16:30, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

:If I could add something to this discussion... I notice that you marked [[Apollonia, antic city]] as a possible copyright violation, but didn't add a listing at [[Wikipedia:Copyright problems]].

:Adding a listing to [[WP:CP]] gives other editors a chance to look at the copyright problem and puts it in line for deletion if necessary after its time on WP:CP is up (I won't say it ''ensures'' action, but that's another matter). Besides, the <nowiki>{{copyvio}}</nowiki> template states that the marked article is listed at WP:CP, so we should try to be consistent with this.

For battleboxes, you only need to put the name of the war in the conflict field. For the campaign, you get the exact name from the list at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Battles/Campaignboxes#American Civil War]]. So, for Fort Blakely, the two lines in the battlebox should look like:

Your message is quite inappropriate in my mind, and is rather childish. Not only does your message have a mocking tone through out but it also reeks of elitism. While the content of the article may be in doubt, i see no point in having such negative and condescending message. From the looks of your homepage you are a veteran user, so i would think that you of all people would know how to best approach Vfd's but judging from your above message I guess I am mistaken. bakuzjw (aka 578) 01:19, 29 Jan 2005 bakuzjw (aka 578) 01:45, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

That i understand, and i agree with (i am changing my vote to neutral) but i just thought the tone of the message was a bit harsh that’s all. I couldn’t agree more that certain articles shouldn’t be on wikipedia, I just think the tone of the messages should be as neutral as possible, that’s all. P.S. in regards to the gotem(speech) vfd, none of the votes are sock puppets but most of the keep votes were from new users that singed up just to vote to keep the article, in hindsight i should have stopped it (seeing that most of the votes to keep are from friends of mine)but, hindsight is 20/20 eh. bakuzjw (aka 578) 17:41, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)

== Gotem on user page ==

Sorry, I didn't see your question--buried in the globs of discussion that followed.

The answer is yes, you can put this material on your user page. That would be a very appropriate thing to do.

Within very broad limits you can do what you like on your own user page. And, incidentally, user pages are indexed by Google, so a Google search on Gotem ''will'' pick it up.

The only rules about user pages are that you can't use them for wildly antisocial behavior, you can't use them for activities that are clearly utterly unrelated to Wikipedia (like the teaching assistant who was scheduling the use of a lab by having students edit a signup calendar on his user page), and you can't use Wikipedia as a "free web host" (megabytes of storage, hundreds of pages, etc.) If you put Gotem on your user page, my judgement is that it is almost unthinkable that anybody would try to delete it. And if they did nominate it on VfD they'd get a solid string of Keep votes and a lot of nasty remarks.

Re sockpuppets. RickK's remarks tend to be on the curt side. What he should have said in reference to sockpuppetry is that 1) it is extremely difficult to prove or disprove sockpuppetry; 2) VfD discussions are acted on by sysops who use their ''judgement'' to determine whether there is ''rough consensus.'' It is not a mechanical vote count. 3) It is the near-universal practice of sysops to discount votes from users who are "anonymous" or "not logged in", and also to discount votes from accounts created after the start of the VfD discussion, particularly if these accounts have made almost no edits except to the VfD page. The universal assumption is that it is almost unthinkably unlikely that a new user would happen to stumble on VfD within their first day or two of editing. Sockpuppetry is also judged on the basis of language style, and in some cases people with "developer" levels of access will be called on to see whether multiple accounts are using the same IP address. None of this constitutes proof, but it is a waste of time to argue with Wikipedians about it. A valid vote or two may occasionally be thrown out, but a good article should get enough keep votes for it not to matter.

== Langmuir ==

With regard to your remark on your user page: Go for it! I just noticed that the article on him doesn't even mention [[Langmuir circulation]].

Not quite sure how you should handle those letters with regard to sourcing and our policy against original research. If the letters have not been published, they would be subject to copyright. Would you or someone in your family be in a position to release portions of them under GFDL? Probably the best thing to do would be to release them under GFDL, put them in Wikisource, and reference them in the article. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]] 13:57, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

:I am not a lawyer. You may want to talk to an intellectual property lawyer about this, and although they charge several hundred dollars an hour, you can usually call one up for an initial consultation for free, and if in fact you don't really need legal advice they'll tell you that you don't. (Of course you should ''say'' "I won't get billed for this conversation, will I?")

:I want to be very careful about what I say, this is just the very roughest background. Unpublished letters are a kind of "intellectual property." They can be copyrighted, and under current law I think they are automatically copyrighted. The copyright begins when they are published. Intellectual property, like other property, may or may not have much value. An unpublished song by John Lennon is probably worth a lot of money. An unpublished letter by my mother probably is worth nothing. I'm speaking here of just of the value of the words or music on the paper, not the value of the paper itself as an autograph or whatever.

:Licensing something under the GFDL is almost the same as giving it away for nothing.

:So, there are two questions you need to ask. a) Do I want to give away this intellectual property, these words written by Irving Langmuir? b) Does this intellectual property belong to me (because if it doesn't, it isn't mine to give away). The answer to (b) depends on whether there are any other relatives who are alive who might think that they have some kind of claim on those letters. If there are, you could have the awkward situation in which you give away the rights to the letters, and then some relative pops up and believes the letters have some value and that you gave away "their" property. That probably wouldn't result in any lawsuits but it could create bad feelings.

:Here's another nightmare scenario. You license the letters under GFDL, you publish them online, and then five years later a publisher approaches you and says "There's a barrel of money in these letters, I'd like to publish them in book form." You say, "OK, but you should know they're already online under GFDL." The publisher says "Whoa! If someone can get them for free, why would they pay money for a book? The deal's off."

:OK. The reason for all that is to explain that '''you''' need to be '''sure''' you want to license these letters under the GFDL or some other kind of public license.

:Now, from the Wikipedia point of view. Let's say you want to put an interesting fact in the article that is backed up by something in one of his letters. Let's say Langmuir's favorite color was blue. You could just write that in the article, but someone might say "How do you know that?" and delete it. You could say "On April 1st, 1922 he wrote in a letter 'I love looking at the sky and the ocean because my favorite color is blue.'" Then in References you could say "Unpublished letter, owned by [your name], Irving Langmuir to Marion, April 1st 1922." That would probably work, and you wouldn't have given anything away. Some people might still complain, but... tough. From a scholarly point of view, for it to be a good reference you need to give some well-defined way in which someone could contact you to ask questions about the reference.

:The best thing you could do ''for Wikipedia,'' but not necessarily for yourself, is to publish the letters in the WIkisource project under GFDL... and then you could reference them from the article. What I'm trying to be clear on is what's best for Wikipedia isn't necessarily what's best for you.

:If you are absolutely certain that you ''do not mind'' giving away the text in these letters and ''don't really care'' what happens to them after they are online, '''and''' that there is no relative of yours who could possibly care, then you might want to go ahead and publish them in Wikisource under GFDL.

:As to how you do that, it's easy. You might want to consult [[User:JamesDay]] about the proper form of the notice, but basically you just need to attach a notice to the text saying something like Copyright ©2005 by [your name], and released by [your name] under the terms of the GFDL license.

:All this is just to ''get you started thinking about this.'' You don't need to do anything at all until you are at the point where you want to add a fact to the Langmuir article which is in the letters and nowhere else.

:Again, I am not a lawyer, and you should take everything I have said with a big grain of salt. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] [[User_talk:dpbsmith|(talk)]] 02:06, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

== Gotem Caughtem Shotem Wroughtem Besoughtem Toldem Caughtem Gotem ==

Dont you not want to be no zombie?

== Gotem(speech) ==

You ask:

:But would it be wrong if I put a redirect on the gotem(speech) page to my homepage, or if i left a note that the entry on gotem(speech) can be found on my homepage.

I'm assuming you're asking "Could I create a new article under the name [[Gotem(speech)]] that consisted of a note, or a redirect to my user page?"

This is against the rules as I understand them, and I don't think you should try it.

[[Gotem(speech)]] was deleted on the basis of being an unencyclopedic topic. If a longish article is unencyclopedic, a note or a redirect on the same topic is still unencyclopedic. It's not a question of how many lines of text the article had.

Creating a redirect would certainly go against the spirit of that decision. You lost, the Wikipedia community pretty much disagrees with you, and I don't think you should try to fight it.

'''Re-creating''' an article that has been voted for deletion is cause for "speedy deletion" (any sysop just deletes the article without even calling for a vote). In the short run, if you created the redirect or the note it would just get speedy deleted. If you kept recreating it you'd start getting notes telling you stop. Eventually you might blocked for "vandalism." You wouldn't really "get into trouble," by the way--that is, nothing that would affect you in the real world (outside Wikipedia).

Look, don't worry about it. It was a marginal article, there was a debate, you lost, the article was deleted. It stings. Shake it off. Nobody cares that much about it. Nobody is ''angry'' about the article's having been created. It's just like a rejection notice from a magazine, except that in Wikipedia we reject things ''after'' they are published, rather than ''before.''

== what now ==

UM I was about to say that I so totally KNOW what is going on, but (and I say this sheepishly) what is all that stuff up there?

== ACW Victory categories ==

No disrespect intended, and I admire bursts of concentrated, quality work like this, but what is the actual '''point''' of all this categorization? Do you have a "use case" [to use a computer science term] that indicates who would actually want to see a list of battles--some significant, most obscure--sorted by victor? I have never seen such a list in any of the Civil War books I've read. Sometimes it seems like people are trying to turn an encyclopedia into a relational database, with all these categories, battle boxes, succession tables, etc. Anyway, I certainly don't object, but wonder what the motivation was. [[User:Hlj|Hal Jespersen]] 00:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

:: A while back I passed the idea past brian0918 and we both seemed to think that it would be a good idea. There is no real case study; I just thought that it would be interesting to look at the victories in chronological order (which I plan to do after I have all of the battles tagged). The real motivation was that, as you mentioned, I haven’t seen a list like that in any book I have come across and I just thought it would be an interesting to look at. Another reason was that it gave me something to do last night. On another note, I noticed that the format of each article varied greatly (some were divided up into different sections, others were just one paragraph ect.) I was wondering if there is any standard "look" that a ACW battle article should have. One thing that I did notice was that there is still a ton of work that needs to be done to the articles. I think a first goal should be to have some sort of text on each battle listed. (I finally have time to edit wikipeida now that all my exams are over). 578 (Yes?) 18:03, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

The process of dumping in the National Park Service battle descriptions and then creating those battle boxes is something I have been leaving to others who are more interested in the mechanics of the articles than the history involved. I have been trying to concentrate on creating or enhancing articles so that they are interesting and have the appropriate context for understanding them; those NPS descriptions are sometimes quite terse. I also find the entire category system that divides battles into somewhat obscurely named campaigns to be less than user-friendly, so I have been writing campaign overviews, such as the [[Gettysburg Campaign]], the [[Franklin-Nashville Campaign]], etc. I have also been spending a lot of time writing biographies of Civil War generals. So anyway, as I said, I don't object to these victory categories, but just wondered. [[User:Hlj|Hal Jespersen]] 20:58, 12 May 2005 (UTC)

A nomination or few away I'm going to try and find a less obvious (though still suitable in my opinion of course) candidate and see if I can get a pass then. Oh and while on the subject of thank-you's I thought I'd better just check that you're not planning on spamming everyone with one of those standard thank you templates are you?

==Narrow gauge in Portugal==

Hi! After voting in your RfA I've noticed that you have a great interest in narrow gauge railways. I'm Portuguese and I grew up side by side with a narrow gauge (1 m) line that links [[Oliveira de Azeméis]] to [[Espinho]] through [[São João da Madeira]] and [[Santa Maria da Feira]]. I believe it is the last narrow gauge line in Portugal, the remaining were abandoned. The line is 98 years old and is run by the national company, the CP. Once it was a major link inside the [[District of Aveiro]], transporting goods (especially wolfram, during WWII) and passengers. However, like the remaining narrow gauge lines in Portugal, it is in great danger and since the beggining of the year, there are only 4 trains a day.

== re: 17 Re: Verified (posted to my talk page) ==

Technically speaking, the Hungarian reference is relivant, and to some admittance I am
facetiously making a point about how some of these "administrating" wannbe ammatuer
"archivers" make expectations and when they are met do not find it helpful.
Now I mention things, I provide as many references as I can, no one fact checks, at least
not that I have seen, it was suggested I put external links there (oh and I have to mention
photography, etc... as well) and the whole thing is eliminated, not just parts, the whole thing,
not just disputed parts in fact.
Now it isn't just you, your just defending or kissing the asses who you presume are on the
defence of the matter; I am in the position of defendin facts. Why is the less interesting
2005 Election of Vancouver, BC (Remember there is a [[Vancouver, WA]]) mentioned not the
1996? There was a book on American Ex-Patriot Mayor of Vancouver, BC LD Taylor and finding
that election was impossible; in 1996 there were hundreds of Mayoral Candidates, it was bizzare.
I was one of them (as Gölök Z, L, F. Buday), I did lousy but I suppose it's significant that I was
18 at the time and the Youngest to run for that office, although I chose to play it down when
I ran, granted when the press played it up with other candidacies they didn't approach me, [[LOL]].
The great electoral [[exploitation]] of youth. Hisorically 1996 was more relivant than 2005 or 2002
(where I was again and improved but did worse than 05) and 1999, one of the worse, since they just
through the 100 dollar deposit on candidates after the 1996 Candidate list caused a knee jerk.
Plus like in 2005, the press was lazier than ever (and in 2005 one Paper, (the new) [[Terminal City]])
died after canning [[Darren Atwater]] of the newer paper/mag [[Only Magazine]] and [[Ian King]] took
over as News Editor after a few intermediaries.
I suppose I'll just drop links on discussion parts and let you research it.

:: A couple of hints when speedy deleting (as I see that's the first thing you've wielded your mop on): If the default deletion summary contains personal information, or potentially libellous material if it was true etc (this usually occurs for A7's and attack pages) I generally clear it and just leave the deleted reason. This is because anyone can see the deletion summary, so I tend to be a bit cautious. Also if you occasionally check your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=Gwernol deletion log] you can easily see blue links re-appearing. This might mean you have to go back and delete them again. If you find you have to keep doing this to a page, where it is unlikely a good article could be written, then you put on {{tl|deletedpage}} and apply full protection to that page.

: I guess the thing with the nomination is, that I do most of the work by doing the contributions review. The nom is just the fun bit that comes after that. As I wouldn't nominate someone unless I'm personally sure that they would do a good job, I guess it ends up being pretty thorough! To be honest, it's going pretty well as I expected. Despite the comments about my nom, I could have just written 'great candidate, been here since x with y edits' and you'd have still been a clear pass. A nomination or few away I'm going to try and find a less obvious (though still suitable in my opinion of course) candidate and see if I can get a pass then. Oh and while on the subject of thank-you's I thought I'd better just check that you're not planning on spamming everyone with one of those standard thank you templates are you? A better option might be to do what I did and post a general one on your user/talk page and then send any personal ones that you feel are relevant (for example if someone provides you with new feedback or something).

==Narrow gauge in Portugal==

Hi! After voting in your RfA I've noticed that you have a great interest in narrow gauge railways. I'm Portuguese and I grew up side by side with a narrow gauge (1 m) line that links [[Oliveira de Azeméis]] to [[Espinho]] through [[São João da Madeira]] and [[Santa Maria da Feira]]. I believe it is the last narrow gauge line in Portugal, the remaining were abandoned. The line is 98 years old and is run by the national company, the CP. Once it was a major link inside the [[District of Aveiro]], transporting goods (especially wolfram, during WWII) and passengers. However, like the remaining narrow gauge lines in Portugal, it is in great danger and since the beggining of the year, there are only 4 trains a day. The regional committee of the Communist Party is colecting signatures in order to force a discussion about its rehabilitation in the parliament, but I have little hope.

Can you show me that the D-flat minor key '''does''' exist by showing me a work in its key signature?? [[User:Georgia guy|Georgia guy]] 18:19, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
:Hi Gwernol, I've done a little bit of research on the pieces you listed, and I'm unfortunately of the opinion that none of them are legitimate. Please respond at the AfD. Thanks. [[User:TheProject|TheProject]] 23:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

== Absolutist Thinking ==

If you care about Wikipedia, you wouldn't want to see articles entitled [[Dicknail]]. Its obscure, obscene and it makes Wikipedia look like a joke. The idea that every piece of content is worth as much as any other is silly. Dreck is dreck, and its an absolute. If people spent less time worshipping the so-called wisdom of Courtney Love and more time learning how to write a complete paragraph, then maybe Wikipedia wouldn't be such a joke. Whew!

Done. I was thinking about your talk before, as it's more important to have that unprotected than userpage (anons contacting you for legitimate reasons). Btw, I've just sent you an email. [[User:Petros471|Petros471]] 20:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

==Deleting==
Going through [[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]] is not really something you want to do on your first day. You get to meet lots of new friends.

: Strangely enough CSD clearing has never caused me any sort of stress. I actually sometimes do it when I want to do something easy and simple (like a break from [[WP:RFI]]). [[User:Petros471|Petros471]] 16:58, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:: A couple of hints when speedy deleting (as I see that's the first thing you've wielded your mop on): If the default deletion summary contains personal information, or potentially libellous material if it was true etc (this usually occurs for A7's and attack pages) I generally clear it and just leave the deleted reason. This is because anyone can see the deletion summary, so I tend to be a bit cautious. Also if you occasionally check your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=Gwernol deletion log] you can easily see blue links re-appearing. This might mean you have to go back and delete them again. If you find you have to keep doing this to a page, where it is unlikely a good article could be written, then you put on {{tl|deletedpage}} and apply full protection to that page.

===Other steps in [[Wikipedia:dispute resolution|dispute resolution]] that have been attempted:===
None. The articles are or have been placed on AfD, and the discussions there and the changes to talk pages are the open discussion that have been had (including some administrators).

===Issues to be mediated===
*Issue 1: Are any of the users involved in sockpuppeting?
*Issue 2: Should the creation of these articles, the defense thereof, the creation of external websites to support your articles, and the general behaviour and actions of any of the users involved be sanctioned?
*Issue 3: Is the coordinated effort of a group of people to push their view and stack votes acceptable?
*Issue 4: How can a case of "multiple articles by multiple users" vandalism best be handled? What steps should the other users have taken to resolve this quicker?
*Issue 5: In what way have the parties involved (note: some of the people are mere witnesses and have in my opinion not done anything that has to be mediated) broken some of the rules by being incivil or otherwise?
*Issue 6: If an article has a name that could point to a subject that one day could have an article of its own, but is as it is created and modified only nonsense (i.e. completely unrelated to the existing subject and only intended as vandalism / joke), can it then be deleted? The same question for a project.

===Other steps in [[Wikipedia:dispute resolution|dispute resolution]] that have been attempted:===
Incessant discussion, in which neither parties can achieve a coherent consensus. There have been repeated attempts at discussions on the disputation with relevant parties, but thus far, is without success or agreement. Editing and Revert warring mainly taking precedence over discussion.

I have tried on many occasions to contact administrators and left messages on the administration board and asked for the articles to be locked down so that edit/revert wars could cease and proper discussion and proposals could begin.

*'''First steps'''
**Consensus was attempted under headings "[[Talk:Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn#Survey|Survey]]" and "[[Talk:Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn#Consensus|Consensus]]" of this talk page: [[Talk:Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn]]. [[User:SynergeticMaggot|Zos]] 15:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
**Consensus was attempted here: [[Talk:The_Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn%2C_Inc.]], beginning under the header called "[[Talk:The_Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn%2C_Inc.#Discussion_of_addition_of_inappropriate_material_.2B_survey|Discussion of addition of inappropriate material + survey]]". [[User:SynergeticMaggot|Zos]] 15:25, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
**A direct and specific offer of compromise was posted on [[User_talk:Frater FiatLux]] under the heading [[User_talk:Frater_FiatLux#Compromise|Compromise]]. There was no reply whatsoever to any of the specific elements brought up in that proposal. -[[User:999|999]] ([[User_talk:999|Talk]]) 15:35, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Comment: That is a false cliam by user 999, a reply was made directly to that compromise on the 17 June at 21:15.[[User:Frater FiatLux|Frater FiatLux]] 19:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Second steps'''
**An RfC was attempted at [[Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Religion and philosophy]] by user 999, although unsigned (proof he did it: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_comment%2FReligion_and_philosophy&diff=58297558&oldid=58089242 here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3ARequests_for_comment%2FReligion_and_philosophy&diff=58469918&oldid=58297558 here]), in which [[user:Baba Louis|Baba Louis]] entered the picture ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn%2C_Inc.#External_input here]). [[User:SynergeticMaggot|Zos]] 16:44, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

::'''Comment''':[[user:Baba Louis|Baba Louis]]first entered the dispute by adding to the revert warring first, and then only after this was mentioned by myself and User: Zanoni666, did Baba Louis start to make discussion as then he had to. The mediator should note Baba Louis first made reverts to the HOGD, Inc., article first. The evidence that he did not enter in to discussion first and only added to the revert waring is in the History for the HOGD, Inc. article.

::If a user joins a dispute on an RfC they should discuss first and not just simply add to the editing warring which is what baba louis did. Baba Louis also made this comment to my talk page after he was recruited by user 999. " Please do not attempt to communicate with other users on my talk page. That is what their talk page is for. I was going to decline User:999's request, but you've just annoyed me sufficiently that I am going to accept. ---Baba Louis"

*DRCarroll did not like the way the article was originally written. He seeks to delete major sections and add what he sees as the other side of the story. Deet feels many of the facts deleted (e.g., Corren) are important in any discussion of religious freedom in Canada and that DRCarroll's edits are generally not aligned with the topic name itself.

===Issues to be mediated===
*This concerns the article, [[Neo-Tech]]. Bi claims that books published by Integrated Management Associates (a company that publishes material about a philosophy called Neo-Tech) cannot be used as references for the article about Neo-Tech ("''Incidentally, the rules also say that "self-published books" are unacceptable as sources. Well, I think I'm going to throw out lots of stuff that come only from Neo-Tech's self-publications. Bi 10:03, 4 May 2006 (UTC)''"), which is bizarre becase it's the only sources on the philosophy. Lest there be any doubt, [[WP:V]] plainly says: ''Self-published sources, and published sources of dubious reliability, may be used only as sources of information on themselves, and only in articles about them. For example, the Stormfront website may be used as a source of information on itself in an article about Stormfront, so long as the information is notable, not unduly self-aggrandizing, and not contradicted by reliable, third-party published sources. Self-published sources may never be used as sources of information on another person or topic.'' Of course you can use the books as sources about the philosophy, in the article about the philosophy! Otherwise, the article would be blank! (As an aside, I'd like to note that the company also publishes the work of other writers not associated with the company as well). Also, he sources "criticism" of Neo-Tech from web forums, self-published web pages, etc rather than from credible published sources. [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Neo-Tech_%28philosophy%29&diff=51923054&oldid=51920045] He expressed a desire for form dispute resolution, as have I. Please assist enforcing the Wikipedia policies on sourcing. It should be pretty simple and straightforward to mediate this. Thank you. [[User:RJII|RJII]] 01:58, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

===Additional issues to be mediated===

Thanks again! -- [[User:KimvdLinde|Kim van der Linde]] [[User talk:KimvdLinde|at venus]] 06:18, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

She has accepted. —[[User:Eternal Equinox|Eternal Equinox]] | [[User talk:Eternal Equinox|talk]] 21:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

== Please accept difference ==

I would like you to have more respect for other wikipedians' views, even if they are unusual, they may have a lot to say about it (as I do). I prefer admins to be multilingual, and I do not see any reason why you should not accpet it. [[User:Myrtone86|Myr'''tone'''@Gwernol.com.au]]:-(

== Personal Attacks.... ==

Trancating and blocking facts is mass personal attack.
Excuse me if I suspect there may be some anti-Hungarian sentiments, I've been more and more aware of them over
time, I hate discussing it.
If you don't even know or understand the situation or context then you need to take your pace; in fact,
why not take some pace in administrating and not jump to conclusions to quickly.

== Verify? ==

Not always possible, how much of Wikipedia is verified period?
How can you say I ran in 2005 and then cut off a varified list of facts under that name,
or deny the entry attached to it at all; total removal, not partial.
Hey ever thought of doing some fact checking yourself, contacting my own father via his
official site on the Wikipedia mention regarding [[First Team Talent Management]] (Actor
and formal Clientas well).
I verified plenty, but I have a life.

my ass bite me and then say I am making the personal attacks!
Your calling me a self agrandizing liar, I am making sure facts stay in place,
what I did originally is put links to some forgotten Mayoral Candidates, not
myself, and that wasn't enough!

Look at past logs, research yourselves, Typical e-administrators, power mad.

[[Google Watch]] may be right about you.

I never mentioned my commentary-writer part or the idea that I am Wiki researching.

They were to the best of possible matters. I tried in fact, but they removed the links of the publications
and reliable sources.

Did you check? Oh and you do suggest it. No one corrects anything, they just remove things. --[[User:Gzlfb|G-Spot]] 16:40, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Ok, I think it's pretty well ready as well. You just need to sign acceptance now. Good luck! [[User:Petros471|Petros471]] 14:28, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

: I guess the thing with the nomination is, that I do most of the work by doing the contributions review. The nom is just the fun bit that comes after that. As I wouldn't nominate someone unless I'm personally sure that they would do a good job, I guess it ends up being pretty thorough! To be honest, it's going pretty well as I expected. Despite the comments about my nom, I could have just written 'great candidate, been here since x with y edits' and you'd have still been a clear pass. A nomination or few away I'm going to try and find a less obvious (though still suitable in my opinion of course) candidate and see if I can get a pass then. Oh and while on the subject of thank-you's I thought I'd better just check that you're not planning on spamming everyone with one of those standard thank you templates are you? A better option might be to do what I did and post a general one on your user/talk page and then send any personal ones that you feel are relevant (for example if someone provides you with new feedback or something).

==Narrow gauge in Portugal==

Hi! After voting in your RfA I've noticed that you have a great interest in narrow gauge railways. I'm Portuguese and I grew up side by side with a narrow gauge (1 m) line that links [[Oliveira de Azeméis]] to [[Espinho]] through [[São João da Madeira]] and [[Santa Maria da Feira]]. I believe it is the last narrow gauge line in Portugal, the remaining were abandoned. The line is 98 years old and is run by the national company, the CP. Once it was a major link inside the [[District of Aveiro]], transporting goods (especially wolfram, during WWII) and passengers. However, like the remaining narrow gauge lines in Portugal, it is in great danger and since the beggining of the year, there are only 4 trains a day. The regional committee of the Communist Party is colecting signatures in order to force a discussion about its rehabilitation in the parliament, but I have little hope. Anyway, if you want information, pictures, or any other stuff, just tell me, if I can, I'll glady help. Cheers! [[User:Afonso Silva|Afonso Silva]] 21:30, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Sorry I didn't mean to. I think I posted my opinion over someone elses. Please forgive me. Regards [[User:144.133.216.231|144.133.216.231]] 02:02, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

== re: 17 Re: Verified (posted to my talk page) ==

Technically speaking, the Hungarian reference is relivant, and to some admittance I am
facetiously making a point about how some of these "administrating" wannbe ammatuer
"archivers" make expectations and when they are met do not find it helpful.
Now I mention things, I provide as many references as I can, no one fact checks, at least
not that I have seen, it was suggested I put external links there (oh and I have to mention
photography, etc... as well) and the whole thing is eliminated, not just parts, the whole thing,
not just disputed parts in fact.
Now it isn't just you, your just defending or kissing the asses who you presume are on the
defence of the matter; I am in the position of defendin facts. Why is the less interesting
2005 Election of Vancouver, BC (Remember there is a [[Vancouver, WA]]) mentioned not the
1996? There was a book on American Ex-Patriot Mayor of Vancouver, BC LD Taylor and finding
that election was impossible; in 1996 there were hundreds of Mayoral Candidates, it was bizzare.
I was one of them (as Gölök Z, L, F. Buday), I did lousy but I suppose it's significant that I was
18 at the time and the Youngest to run for that office, although I chose to play it down when
I ran, granted when the press played it up with other candidacies they didn't approach me, [[LOL]].
The great electoral [[exploitation]] of youth. Hisorically 1996 was more relivant than 2005 or 2002
(where I was again and improved but did worse than 05) and 1999, one of the worse, since they just
through the 100 dollar deposit on candidates after the 1996 Candidate list caused a knee jerk.
Plus like in 2005, the press was lazier than ever (and in 2005 one Paper, (the new) [[Terminal City]])
died after canning [[Darren Atwater]] of the newer paper/mag [[Only Magazine]] and [[Ian King]] took
over as News Editor after a few intermediaries.
I suppose I'll just drop links on discussion parts and let you research it.
I have a life and more of my own %^&% to do. None-the-less, this is about following mass media, not
actuall fact. I hardley would recomend this over a book or even CNN, in it's current shape. --[[User:Gzlfb|G-Spot]] 11:15, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

:: A couple of hints when speedy deleting (as I see that's the first thing you've wielded your mop on): If the default deletion summary contains personal information, or potentially libellous material if it was true etc (this usually occurs for A7's and attack pages) I generally clear it and just leave the deleted reason. This is because anyone can see the deletion summary, so I tend to be a bit cautious. Also if you occasionally check your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&user=Gwernol deletion log] you can easily see blue links re-appearing. This might mean you have to go back and delete them again. If you find you have to keep doing this to a page, where it is unlikely a good article could be written, then you put on {{tl|deletedpage}} and apply full protection to that page.

I appreciate the advice! If it weren't that Doright has been doing this kind of the since the very beginning of his editing last December, I might be inclined to let it go. But this is his way of trying to win his edits over others. If you have a moment, take a look at his contributions. I tried not engaging him at all, but that just encouraged him to continue. I would appreciate it if a neutral admin would call him out on this behavior, but none seem interested in it. So I decided to offer to engage him again, if he would stop personal attacks. So he continued. He even suggested that a teen editor should show his parents my communications with him because a clergyman sending files to a teen.... Musical Linguist called him on it, and he attacked her.

My reason for going the way I did was looking for someone besides me to tell him to knock it off. (notice I didn't call for a block)

Yes, I would never take administrative action on any page I'm involved in, probably not even and Sprotect. I have a lot of practice with recusal in real life. I also would never take action on any user I've been engaged in, friend or challenger, including Doright. I would hope to help others out with difficult situations. I also watch a number of pages for vandalism and would be most likely to do Sprotects on these. If you want to see a recent intervention of mine, take a look at [[Jews for Jesus]] and the messages I sent to the new user Moshe Rosen and my friend Humus Sapiens on a very sensitive issue. --[[User:CTSWyneken|CTSWyneken]] 10:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Ah, I think I understand what happened now. I never deleted comments from my talk page. But I did clear it off once, I believe I was testing some piece of Tawkerbot2 functionality at the time. I've used my pages from time to time to test out something small.

Regardless, I think this represents a full archive of my talk: [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Joshbuddy&oldid=55992073] [[User:Joshbuddy|josh]]buddy[[User_talk:Joshbuddy|talk]] 22:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

== AFD Counters ==

I'm not sure I see the benefit of restarting the AFD counter on a relisted article. After the first 2 days I find exposure to be low, most people don't seem to go back 3 days or more to check old AFDs to see if they require comments, and what about controversial AFDs like this one [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Star_Trek:_Enterprise_alleged_continuity_problems_%28third_nomination%29] I relisted it to ensure a proper concensus as I felt, and a couple others pointed out that it would be easy for a few fans to muddle it into no concensus, so keeping exposure up was the key to ensuring a proper general concensus and feedback on this article. Though that doesn't serve much purpose if the AFD becomes extended from the relisting and the exposure to the general public drops but people with an interest would have additional time to attempt to drive a no concensus on the article. Perhaps I'd be a bit less leary of that if I didn't see so many AFDs closed on what appears to be a vote and not on the arguments for each side. Maybe I'm missing something from the process here. --[[User:Crossmr|Crossmr]] 22:16, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

:''First off, sorry for the delay in replying.''

:''Looking at the example you provided I think you have a different understanding of what relisting is compared with what I've always assumed it to be (I'm not an AFD expert, so I don't claim to be an authority of the subject). Normally relisting is only done at the end of the 5 day period, and then the AFD subpage is moved back to the current day's log page. Am I right in thinking you are moving the subpage of an article back to the current days deletion log before the end of the 5 day period? As the page admins use when looking for AFDs ready to close is based on what days log page the article is listed on, not when the nomination was created, relisting by almost by definition resets the 5 day counter. The exception to this is if an admin has re-listed and is watching the discussion, and decides that consensus has now been reached and closes it before the extra 5 days is over (or another admin coming across it thinking the same thing).

[[Image:Grapes.jpg|55px|right]]

Hello Petros471, and thanks for voting in [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Sam Vimes2|my recent RfA]], which passed with a tally of (68/19/3). I appreciated your comments, which I hope to take on board in order to gain your respect in my work as an administrator. Best of luck in your continued editing of the encyclopedia! [[User:Sam Vimes|Sam Vimes]] 17:37, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jack Hammer (porn actor)]] ==

You closed that as a '''no consensus''' - I think if you look again, you'll see that was a '''keep'''.

The nominator wrote "Not sure if this guy fits the notability criteria for pornstars on WP... Any porn buffs wanna help out?" - that was his entire comment. Four other editors commented. The first, the only one "voting" '''Delete''', said "I'm not a porn buff", specifically in response to that question. The other three all voted '''Keep''' and cited [[WP:PORN BIO]], which is the proposed "notability criteria for pornstars on WP". There is no other. (Joe Beaudoin, who didn't explicitly cite WP:PORN BIO, only cited my argument which cited it, in fact originated WP:PORN BIO. You can also take a look at his signature. :-) ) That's pretty clearly responding positively to the nominator's request. We may or may not be porn buffs in general, but we know a thing or two about porn on WP.

Therefore, I believe the nominator's "vote" should essentially be interpreted as a '''keep''', since he seemed to be deferring to the opinions of more knowledgeable editors, and all he got were "keep"s. Even if you don't buy that argument, clearly the nom never argued for deletion.

That makes either 75% or 80% for Keep. If you don't like the numerical tally, and prefer to look at the arguments, the only argument for deletion was "Fails WP:BIO, does not assert notability" - and I asserted notability by adding film count to the article.

Whew. All that arguing for an almost academic distinction between keep by consensus or keep by no consensus. :-)

== Eh? ==

So he is allowed to file one on me but I cant file an RfI on him? I think I have a legit claim to trolling and personal attacks but then again I have been inactive for over a year so my thoughts dont count on wikipeida. I think my RfI or whatever they are called aginst Farm is legit and if it isnt why did I go through all the trouble of posting it on the RfI page? It seems whenever something is edited that isnt to the liking of someone its called vandalism makes no sense. Take the Gotem article Farm wanted it VfD that failed now he wants an RfM on it when is it going to stop?

Also a simple IP check or just looking at when and what I edited, or all the typos I am to lazy to fix, shows quite clearly that I am not a sockpuppet. By accusing me of being a sockpuppet you are making a personal attack as it is unfounded (Go ahead check the IP's see for yourself).

How can you say there is lack of evdeince for Fram's trolling. Every artilce we make he is there (often times the only one, just go look at the gotem VdF page) bitching and moaning about it, asking why we even care about it as we have never seen the place. If you want me to show you all the links I will, and if you still claim it isnt trolling I dont know what wikipeida is about as on any other form what fram is doing would be called trolling.

And he is right block me and if I feel the need to edit again I will just change my IP what are you going to do block the entire IP range for my ISP in Gainesville that I dobut.

With that said, and without taking the time into digging into his interactions with the Hockey WikiProject et al, though I personally disagree with his stance that the hockey / sports articles do not belong on Wikipedia my assumption of his good faith in trying to improve the encyclopedia is not damaged. I still believe that the afd process won't result in any good article being removed, so his nominations of the articles will produce no fruit unless they are indeed bad articles. As for the stalking, I would need to investigate it...which I cannot do atm due to IRL work. There are several other admins watching the situation so as long as both sides put forth their arguments without personal attacks we can all continue to work on the encyclopedia. --[[User:Syrthiss|Syrthiss]] 13:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

578: Request for Investigation

{{RFM-Filed|Gotem}}

Hi! I'm a new contributor, mainly interested in European comics, but you may find me all over the place :-) I try to be factually correct (obviously), but as English isn't my mother tongue, you can probably expect some grammatical errors and weird sentences. I'ld be glad if those (and any other errors) got corrected of course. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 07:40, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

Hi just wanted to let you know that some articles were written far ago and such articles deserve a bit of respect, especially those concerning disputes like the supposed Dutch-French dispute in Belgium...
So we would be happy to see you contributing in such articles but be careful that what you remove is really superfluous.

Furthermore, I did add the hockey clubs, so I'll put them back as I see it as part of the Belgian life but I admit it is no crucial info. Thanx for your understanding and don't blame me for my "weird sentences" like you said. Happy edits, [[User:Julien Tuerlinckx|Julien Tuerlinckx]] 14:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

== [[Franco-Belgian comics]] ==

Hi Fram,
I saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Franco-Belgian_comics&curid=87391&diff=28491011&oldid=28419414 the text you reverted] on this article. There is indeed intersting content. I asked [[User:Mjolnir1984]], who I suppose has written it to reformat it and spread it on the right pages. He's trying to add his content since a month ago, without real success. If this content is back again, I propose to not revert it but to help him around with it. [[User:Lvr|Lvr]] 14:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

== Hi ==

Hi! {{cl|Angoulême International Comics Festival}} has too many stubs that can never be expanded. Stubs can attract vandalism. Are you sure all those articles are notable? Also, if they are, why not merge them into five or ten longer articles? Cheers, --[[User:unforgettableid|unforgettableid]] | [[User_talk:unforgettableid|talk to me]] 13:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:I think one of the problems is that I often forget to remove the 'stub' indication when an article is finished (although still short).
:I compared the Angoulême articles to the Grammy articles, and noticed that they are fairly similar: some of the categories are large, with many notable artists, and a long history, while other are very short, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album]], and/or finished, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance]].
:As the Angoulême awards are in their field (European comics) equally important as the Grammies are for (American) music, I think it is logical to have a similar structure. I had already combined some awards with similar names or targets, and probable some others that are now divided could be combined as well, but as a whole, I feel they are necessary.
:The French Wikipedia has taken another approach, with one article for every year the festival is held (i.e. 33 articles and counting), plus separate articles for many major awards (I count at least 16 of those). As I felt that this was a bit too much, I only made articles for the awards.
:I think that the information given in those articles should at least be kept, but if you have ideas how best to merge some of the awards without losing the overview, you're more than welcome to either present the ideas or make the new (merged) articles. I feel it would be a pity to delete any info though.
:By the way, I'm now up to 1989 in my scanning of the awards presented, and I have no idea how many more award categories I'll have to add. I think I have most, but I know of at least 4 more to come.
[[User:Fram|Fram]] 13:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

::I have created an article (Media awards) that covers four previous awards and two I still had to add, and have created redirects from the four previous awards (perhaps they can be deleted, I don't know). This slightly decreases the number of articles and stubs in the category. I hope this is a first step to what you had in mind? There are probably a few others I can give the same treatment, but there will probably be a few others I still have to add, so no promises as to how many articles will stay in the end... [[User:Fram|Fram]] 15:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

==Mechelen==
Good idea this 'Famous inhabitants' section for '[[Mechelen]]', Fram. Perhaps I'll mention ''Jef Denyn'' elsewhere in the article. There are a few more:
Josephine Leemans-Verbustel, better known as the singer ''Jo Leemans'', ''Marc Uytterhoeven'' and abouth 20% or so of the people that we knew to work at or with the single official Flemish TV (historically NIR/BRT/VRT) in the last 50 years (journalists, presenters, actors of the Mechels Miniatuurtheater [e.g. the once so popular series "De collega's"],...). A number of famous national politicians like ''Antoon Spinoy'' (after whom the Cultural Centre in Mechelen is named), ''Jef Ramaekers'', ''Jos De Saeger'', the first of the Flemish government who let himself be ''called'' minister-''president'': ''Luc Van den Brande'',...
All the archbishops since the 16th century (this should be easy: you might put the list in an article and link to it - I'm not too sure about ''Mercier'' though: he preferred to stay closer to the royal family and thus split the title of Mechelen to Mechelen-Brussels; still only Mechelen can have had his official address).
The list of historical figures will get longer too, and it includes a few famous catholic missionaries, in fact many because the city housed the Seminary where so many lived during their education to priesthood.
If you really want to do this, I wish you good luck and a lot of patience; start by setting precise delimiters (for instance: reasonably well known at least in the whole Region of Flanders and/or a standard of importance for the more specific branches, mentioning exclusion of seminarists and the military in one of the three former caserns - especially since all Belgian military administrative personnel trainees stayed in one - who may have had an official address elsewhere) - the result would certainly interest me. In case you might find the job a bit bigger than expected, I would suggest completely removing the section so as not to hurt people's feelings for being left out, and to avoid disputes with their fans. You made a good start: I was rather surprised about a few names; please, prove that ''it can be done''. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:45 (UTC)

P.S. Should you continue and come across good stuff, check whether the person's current Wikipedia article can use the extra information or create the person's article - don't let fine work get lost. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:59 (UTC)

: Thanks! I have started with those people that have a Wikipedia article (on the English language Wikipedia, that is) where it is mentioned that they lived (were born, died, ...) in Mechelen. I did indeed leave out those people that studied in Mechelen, and I left out a few that I thought weren't famous enough for an international encyclopedia. I probably should have included Jef Denyn though.
I'm just doing this for all Flemish villages and cities (and probably the Wallon ones and the Dutch ones afterwards): check out if there are any Wikipedia articles that mention an inhabitant of the village, and if they are reasonably well known, I include them as "famous inhabitants". I will try to do this on a regular basis, to catch the additions, but I'll not try to find "missing" (from the encyclopedia) persons normally. I have finished West and East Flanders and Antwerp now, and will start on Limburg next.
: And indeed, there is a risk that some people will feel left out, but that is always a tough task, drawing a line. I don't mind at all if people would add their own favourites, as long as they are reasonably notable (i.e. may be known outside Flanders at least). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 07:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

C'mon Fram, don't tell me '''YOU''' deleted the [[Snowspinner]] article. It wasn't vandalism, it was being bold, everything can be verified. Maybe when snowspinner gets old and dies then the next generation will make an article for Phil and when people like you come to delete it, they'll warn '''YOU''' with a vandalism notice. ^_^ --[[User:Dont even try to hide the truth|Dont even try to hide the truth]] 10:18, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

::<s>Hmm.. OK. Which article are you talking about? --[[User:Dont even try to hide the truth|Dont even try to hide the truth]] 10:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)</s>
::Ok I figured it out. The nominations for deletion are in bad faith and some editors are getting all their friends to vote delete and of course only I and maybe 2 other people will vote keep because everyone else is oblivious. The basis for deletion is that the documents are not federal, this is bad faith. So I changed the liscensing to indicate "state" government. --[[User:Dont even try to hide the truth|Dont even try to hide the truth]] 10:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

"Only those articles where there is no remotely plausible assertion of notability should be considered for Wikipedia:Speedy deletion." - [[User:Crzrussian|CrazyRussian]] [[User_talk:Crzrussian|talk]]/[[Special:Contributions/Crzrussian|contribs]]/[[Special:Emailuser/Crzrussian|email]] 15:17, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

== Gotem ==

In response to your statement on [[User:Crzrussian|Crazy Russian]]'s talk page:
It seems you have some knowledge about the City/Town/Hamlet/Vicinity of Gotem,Belgium.
Then why not put this knowledge to use and add it to the article?
You say it is nonsense, but you yourself admit this town does exist.
Furthermore, as you pointed out it IS in the dutch wikipedia, then why shouldnt it be here?
And if you think some of my information is nonsense, feel free to edit it. I have stated this many times.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 22:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:In response to your statement : Yes you are right, these towns (rural) lack significant urban development, thats why the population figure is taken within a certain radius (as you can see from the website, of course). Perhaps the original version of the article gave a mistaken impression of the population density near Gotem, but I believe this has been now corrected. Indeed, I see that [[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] has added some more information that makes Gotem quite a notable hamlet (at least the one in Limburg). However, I'm afraid I don't understand your position: you come across an article, you think its nonsense, you do some research and you find out that some of the infromation on the article is (in your opinion) inaccurate. Then you proceed to speedy-delete the page and later AfD instead of just correcting the information. Why do such a thing? Just edit the damn page so its correct and be done with it.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 21:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for acknowledging at least part of your errors, although I feel that you still try to pretend that you did something good when you only produced rubbish ealier. I speedy deleted (or rather proposed them for it, I can't delete anything) them when they were nonsense articles. I AfD'ed when they contained a minimum of verifiable content, and a lot of rubbish otherwise. Only then have you and your buddies started upgrading the article, removing all the errors I pointed out. Gotem can stay, perhaps, although I still don't see why it can't be just included as a section in the Borgloon article. Polfbroekstraat, Eiland, and Oordegemsestraat, and the Project, are still complete nonsense, and the first three have no chance of becoming anything else. As for the population numbers and the website: as you have seen on the Gotem discussion, but still seem to ignore: this is pure rubbish. When you have a small village near a larger city, you don't include the population numbers of that city into the population of your village, and you don't claim that some hamlet like Eiland is in fact one of the largest cities of East Flanders. This is plain and simple bullshit. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 21:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Satellite data shows that [[Gotem]], which we define as 50° 47' 60" N, 5° 17' 60" E and the area 7km around it, does not include any visible areas of dense population (which would be denoted by a solid yellow, as in your Glenwood Heights example). See my arguments [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem|here]] I acknowledge that Fallingrain is imperfect in certain cases, but that it is actually quite useful in this case. I have no position on [[Polfbroekstraat]], [[Eiland]], or [[Oordegemsestraat]] (doesn't 'straat' mean street?). My friends did not enlist my support simply because I am their friend... they know that I am a declared defender of [[Gotem]], I simply want to help preserve it. How did you come across the [[Gotem]] page anyway??? --[[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] 21:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Look at the scale of that map. Borgloon is 3 km away, Sint-Truiden is 9 km, etcetera. As you can see [http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?isAvoidFrontiers=false&isFavoriseAutoroute=false&isAvoidPeage=false&isAvoidVignette=false&isAvoidLNR=false&strTypeStep=0&strVehicle=0&reinit=1&strStartAddress=&strStartCP=&strStartCity=Gotem&strStartCityCountry=311&strDestAddress=&strDestCP=&strDestCity=Borgloon&strDestCityCountry=311&image2.x=15&image2.y=11 here] (click on the map to get a larger area), Gotem is the smallest village, adn it is surrounded very close by larger ones liek Hoepertingen and Wellen. Those make up the bulk of the 20,000 inhabitants and are the true population centres: Gotem is a speck of a few streets next to the larger Borgloon. So Fallingrain is not useful in this case (what did you base that one), as once again it gives a very small village in the neighbourhood of larger ones. Please, I may be harsh out of frustration, but I am not the one making things up here, your friends are (and to a larger extent were). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 22:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:Fram, please read what I wrote at the talk page of [[Polfbroekstraat]]. Something about Eiland there as well. This guy is creating a parallel universe - I suppose one day he will come out and claim that Wikipedia is full of nonsense.[[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 17:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

== Re: [[Eiland]] ==

Hi, many thanks for your explanation.

Four of the articles you named were deleted by me (two as obvious nonsense), however it would seem that all except [[Oordegemsestraat]] have been recreated. While I agree that at least some of the articles are hoaxes, I will stay out of the debate at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem]] for now. Also, I won't speedy delete the articles again (it would seem that they would only be recreated anyway), as rather than speedying twice when some editors seem to be expressing concern, I think it's best if the issue is settled via AfD. This may or may not require nominating all the articles for deletion; feel free to tag them if you wish – [[User:Gurch|Gurch]] 18:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

:Fram, I finally finished the deletion article for Polfbroekstraat. Will you do Eiland? As you probably know, it is a street which starts off in the built-up centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, (the church on the right, and a water mill on the left later on) and a little later splits off to the left, into fields (a "verkaveling, I suppose) It is on page 133 (East-Flanders) of the road map I quoted. I am starting to wonder whether "Eiland" is not mentioned on the map these guys base themselves on because of that mill [http://www.pixagogo.com/1170175159 search for "Houtem"] and [http://www.belgiumview.com/belgiumview/tl1/view0004259.php4 | euh, "Heilandmolen?"] An official map is to be found at [http://paola.erfgoed.net/engine/fiche.php?id=002140&pv=O hier]Eiland is the street below the site, on the right of the mill it turns to the left.

== Mediation Request ==

Hi,

I received a notification of your Request for Mediation. I am a little confused by it though, as I am not aware of any dispute that I have with you or anyone in the list of involved parties (although I am, of course, familiar with the situation over Gotem/Kottem/Eiland and whatever else). If you feel that there is a dispute between the two of us, I would be glad to discuss it with you. However, at the moment, I don't understand the need for mediation and I'm inclined to disagree with the request. I'll hold off on posting my disagreement to the mediation page until I hear back from you though. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 20:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for the clarification. Admittedly, I am a little ignorant of the mediation process, but I was under the impression that all participants were considered disputants. I'm still a little reluctant to join, as I'm not sure what positive outcome there could be. If indeed the editors in question were adding and editing articles in bad faith, then this seems to be less of a dispute than it is an out and out policy violation. Further, it seems to me that mediation requires that all parties act in good faith throughout the process and thereafter. If the basis of the complaint is that one or more parties are not acting in good faith as editors, then will it be productive to go through the whole process? I'm not so sure. In any case, I'll be glad to contribute however I can. It might be worth looking into a solution that will be a better fit for the problem though. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 11:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

::It's my first mediation attempt as well, and I'm not very optimistic about the chances for success, but I fear that I have to try it before I can take further actions. See [[Wikipedia:Resolving disputes]]: We have long passed the first step (talking), but I can't go to arbitration before at least trying one of the second level steps (of which mediation is one). It is hard to get them blocked for vandalism, as their behaviour is more complex and devious (see e.g. the entry on this talk page below this one). I guess some of them will be blocked in the end, but it may be a while. Still, it's worth a shot. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 12:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:::A good step in the interim would be to report the vandalism warning the user posted to your page. At first glance, it would appear to be in bad faith, making the warning itself vandalism. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 12:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes I was inacitve for over a year partly becuase I left wikipeida over how stupid it was and became very active in ogame.org so I didnt have time to deal with the nonsense that takes place on wikipedia. I think you can see from my edits that I am have done a fair amount for this site (Alot on the civil war and other history bits) so I am not a user that just trolls about looking for problems. These are my real life friends and they asked me to put in my two cents, so I did. Now to answer your question as to why they are doing this A) to fight deletionism and B) becuase of gotem(speech). (Sit down and take some notes its time for a history lesson) Now about a year or so ago we made a gotem entry that was about the word gotem. It was put up for speedy delete but we got it to a VFD then for awhile we were winning the VfD (got half of are grade to come in and chime in) but then boat loads of people from Wiki chimmed in and we lost in a hard fought battle (hence the first battle of gotem) now GOtem is a city, township, hamlet whatever but its perfectly noteworthy. If you have an article on Eastside high school and one on gainesville, Florida whos only claim to fame is that UF is located in it. Why not just put that in the UF artilce no need for Gainesville Ariticle. We are just trying to have some fun and show how silly the whole wikipeida system is. By trying to keep this "oh no one is higher then anyone" nonsense all you are doing is making the project a lot harder then it needs to be. But hey its your ship, if you want to sink it be my guest.

By the way I dont know about this whole think you put on my talk page and I (nor any of my friends) will be taking place in the medieation thing.

* {{vandal|Robertsteadman}} - User has been a Wikipedian since May 1, 2006. In this time he has been blocked once for violation of 3RR (see his talk page) and is responsible for this mess: [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Thunder Bay Northern Hawks]]. User also disrupted [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey#The_Big_Game]] in violation of [[WP:POINT]] and [[WP:TROLL]]. User has also been all over talk pages of the members of WP:HOCKEY who voted against his AFD. [[User:BoojiBoy|BoojiBoy]] 14:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
**Total misrepresntation. The 3RR was removed (and the 3RR is to be reported for an admin misusing their position). I was not responsible for the mess at the AfD - and I was invited to go along to the Wikiproject to find out more - this I have done to be met with abuse and personal attacks from the likes of [[User:BoojiBoy|BoojiBoy]] and [[User:DMighton]]. They want to use the project page as a chat room and want to fill WP with articles which come nowhere near to notability criteria - junior B ice hockey teams. This is a nonsense and their behaviour needs to be looked into - they are protecting pages for the sake of it, not entering into reasonable debate and not allowing newcomers to contribute. [[User:Robertsteadman|Robertsteadman]] 15:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
::*This guy is obsessive and vendictive. He has been following every major member of the WikiProject around for the last day, commenting on everything we say -- even if it has nothing to do with him or his AfD (seemingly lurking in our contribs lists). He has shown malicious intent, he given a lion's share of harrassment, forced most of us to loose the nessecary "Assumption of Good Faith", and just won't leave any of us alone. Heck, he's even declared war on all articles pertaining to sports and claims that he'll come after us first, citing the notablity essay as bible. Also, despite the 3RR issue being dropped, I personally approach the admin in question and was told me that I should be talking to the administration board about this user actions -- that this is not an isolated incident. [[User:DMighton|DMighton]] 20:09, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
:::*The editor has actually been editing since July 2005 (under various names). He is supposed to be <s>under mentorship</s> "on probation" after being allowed back into the Wikiproject - in April he was blocked indefiniterly for using sockpuppets and <s>making threats</s> "threatening legal action". Perhaps it might be best to contact <s>his mentor</s> "the admin who unblocked him" regarding his failure to keep promises about behaving appropriately? {{unsigned|195.93.21.100}}

::::*Evidentally it did not work. Although, I do not think even the best mentor would curb this guy's behaviour. Especially with his specific targeting of specific groups on Wikipedia and his predatory nature, it makes me wonder if he really has anything positive to offer... [[User:DMighton|DMighton]] 22:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

So much of the above is untrue and unfair. I might have been blocked for using sockpuppets but i NEVER ACTUALLY USED A SOCKPUPPET. And as for making threats - that is simply untrue and a statement which is trying to cause trouble. The real problem is that certain eitors don't like the idea that some of their articles are non-notable and do not want them deleted, They have meted out personal attacks which they were warned about (and some were rverted). I am trying to improve WP by getting rid of non-notable stuff such as Junior B ice hockey teams. [[User:Robertsteadman|Robertsteadman]] 05:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::*'''(from my talk page)''' I'm still on wikibreak, but I feel I have to address this. First, your (DMighton's) statement on RFI is incorrect: I am not acting in any way to mentor Robert Steadman. I have a very simple connection to him as the admin who lifted his indefblock. With that said, and without taking the time into digging into his interactions with the Hockey WikiProject et al, though I personally disagree with his stance that the hockey / sports articles do not belong on Wikipedia my assumption of his good faith in trying to improve the encyclopedia is not damaged. I still believe that the afd process won't result in any good article being removed, so his nominations of the articles will produce no fruit unless they are indeed bad articles. As for the stalking, I would need to investigate it...which I cannot do atm due to IRL work. There are several other admins watching the situation so as long as both sides put forth their arguments without personal attacks we can all continue to work on the encyclopedia. --[[User:Syrthiss|Syrthiss]] 13:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

::::::*'''Quick note''' The mentor thing is not my creation, that was posted by an unregisterd guest. I personally don't even know if it carries any merit or weight. I've never personally came across any correspondence that has mentioned it. [[User:DMighton|DMighton]] 15:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

They want to use the project page as a chat room and want to fill WP with articles which come nowhere near to notability criteria - junior B ice hockey teams.

::*This guy is obsessive and vendictive. He has been following every major member of the WikiProject around for the last day, commenting on everything we say -- even if it has nothing to do with him or his AfD (seemingly lurking in our contribs lists). He has shown malicious intent, he given a lion's share of harrassment, forced most of us to loose the nessecary "Assumption of Good Faith", and just won't leave any of us alone. Heck, he's even declared war on all articles pertaining to sports and claims that he'll come after us first, citing the notablity essay as bible. Also, despite the 3RR issue being dropped, I personally approach the admin in question and was told me that I should be talking to the administration board about this user actions -- that this is not an isolated incident.

[[User:DMighton|DMighton]] 22:31, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

So much of the above is untrue and unfair. I might have been blocked for using sockpuppets but i NEVER ACTUALLY USED A SOCKPUPPET. And as for making threats - that is simply untrue and a statement which is trying to cause trouble. The real problem is that certain eitors don't like the idea that some of their articles are non-notable and do not want them deleted, They have meted out personal attacks which they were warned about (and some were rverted). I am trying to improve WP by getting rid of non-notable stuff such as Junior B ice hockey teams. [[User:Robertsteadman|Robertsteadman]] 05:54, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:::::*'''(from my talk page)''' I'm still on wikibreak, but I feel I have to address this. First, your (DMighton's) statement on RFI is incorrect: I am not acting in any way to mentor Robert Steadman. I have a very simple connection to him as the admin who lifted his indefblock. With that said, and without taking the time into digging into his interactions with the Hockey WikiProject et al, though I personally disagree with his stance that the hockey / sports articles do not belong on Wikipedia my assumption of his good faith in trying to improve the encyclopedia is not damaged. I still believe that the afd process won't result in any good article being removed, so his nominations of the articles will produce no fruit unless they are indeed bad articles. As for the stalking, I would need to investigate it...which I cannot do atm due to IRL work. There are several other admins watching the situation so as long as both sides put forth their arguments without personal attacks we can all continue to work on the encyclopedia. --[[User:Syrthiss|Syrthiss]] 13:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi just wanted to let you know that some articles were written far ago and such articles deserve a bit of respect, especially those concerning disputes like the supposed Dutch-French dispute in Belgium...
So we would be happy to see you contributing in such articles but be careful that what you remove is really superfluous.

Furthermore, I did add the hockey clubs, so I'll put them back as I see it as part of the Belgian life but I admit it is no crucial info.

Hi Fram,
I saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Franco-Belgian_comics&curid=87391&diff=28491011&oldid=28419414 the text you reverted] on this article. There is indeed intersting content. I asked [[User:Mjolnir1984]], who I suppose has written it to reformat it and spread it on the right pages. He's trying to add his content since a month ago, without real success. If this content is back again, I propose to not revert it but to help him around with it. [[User:Lvr|Lvr]] 14:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi! {{cl|Angoulême International Comics Festival}} has too many stubs that can never be expanded. Stubs can attract vandalism. Are you sure all those articles are notable? Also, if they are, why not merge them into five or ten longer articles? Cheers, --[[User:unforgettableid|unforgettableid]] | [[User_talk:unforgettableid|talk to me]] 13:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:I think one of the problems is that I often forget to remove the 'stub' indication when an article is finished (although still short).
:I compared the Angoulême articles to the Grammy articles, and noticed that they are fairly similar: some of the categories are large, with many notable artists, and a long history, while other are very short, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album]], and/or finished, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance]].
:As the Angoulême awards are in their field (European comics) equally important as the Grammies are for (American) music, I think it is logical to have a similar structure. I had already combined some awards with similar names or targets, and probable some others that are now divided could be combined as well, but as a whole, I feel they are necessary.
:The French Wikipedia has taken another approach, with one article for every year the festival is held (i.e. 33 articles and counting), plus separate articles for many major awards (I count at least 16 of those). As I felt that this was a bit too much, I only made articles for the awards.
:I think that the information given in those articles should at least be kept, but if you have ideas how best to merge some of the awards without losing the overview, you're more than welcome to either present the ideas or make the new (merged) articles. I feel it would be a pity to delete any info though.
:By the way, I'm now up to 1989 in my scanning of the awards presented, and I have no idea how many more award categories I'll have to add. I think I have most, but I know of at least 4 more to come.
[[User:Fram|Fram]] 13:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

::I have created an article (Media awards) that covers four previous awards and two I still had to add, and have created redirects from the four previous awards (perhaps they can be deleted, I don't know). This slightly decreases the number of articles and stubs in the category. I hope this is a first step to what you had in mind? There are probably a few others I can give the same treatment, but there will probably be a few others I still have to add, so no promises as to how many articles will stay in the end... [[User:Fram|Fram]] 15:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

==Mechelen==
Good idea this 'Famous inhabitants' section for '[[Mechelen]]', Fram. Perhaps I'll mention ''Jef Denyn'' elsewhere in the article. There are a few more:
Josephine Leemans-Verbustel, better known as the singer ''Jo Leemans'', ''Marc Uytterhoeven'' and abouth 20% or so of the people that we knew to work at or with the single official Flemish TV (historically NIR/BRT/VRT) in the last 50 years (journalists, presenters, actors of the Mechels Miniatuurtheater [e.g. the once so popular series "De collega's"],...). A number of famous national politicians like ''Antoon Spinoy'' (after whom the Cultural Centre in Mechelen is named), ''Jef Ramaekers'', ''Jos De Saeger'', the first of the Flemish government who let himself be ''called'' minister-''president'': ''Luc Van den Brande'',...
All the archbishops since the 16th century (this should be easy: you might put the list in an article and link to it - I'm not too sure about ''Mercier'' though: he preferred to stay closer to the royal family and thus split the title of Mechelen to Mechelen-Brussels; still only Mechelen can have had his official address).
The list of historical figures will get longer too, and it includes a few famous catholic missionaries, in fact many because the city housed the Seminary where so many lived during their education to priesthood.
If you really want to do this, I wish you good luck and a lot of patience; start by setting precise delimiters (for instance: reasonably well known at least in the whole Region of Flanders and/or a standard of importance for the more specific branches, mentioning exclusion of seminarists and the military in one of the three former caserns - especially since all Belgian military administrative personnel trainees stayed in one - who may have had an official address elsewhere) - the result would certainly interest me. In case you might find the job a bit bigger than expected, I would suggest completely removing the section so as not to hurt people's feelings for being left out, and to avoid disputes with their fans. You made a good start: I was rather surprised about a few names; please, prove that ''it can be done''. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:45 (UTC)

P.S. Should you continue and come across good stuff, check whether the person's current Wikipedia article can use the extra information or create the person's article - don't let fine work get lost. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:59 (UTC)

: Thanks! I have started with those people that have a Wikipedia article (on the English language Wikipedia, that is) where it is mentioned that they lived (were born, died, ...) in Mechelen. I did indeed leave out those people that studied in Mechelen, and I left out a few that I thought weren't famous enough for an international encyclopedia. I probably should have included Jef Denyn though.
I'm just doing this for all Flemish villages and cities (and probably the Wallon ones and the Dutch ones afterwards): check out if there are any Wikipedia articles that mention an inhabitant of the village, and if they are reasonably well known, I include them as "famous inhabitants". I will try to do this on a regular basis, to catch the additions, but I'll not try to find "missing" (from the encyclopedia) persons normally. I have finished West and East Flanders and Antwerp now, and will start on Limburg next.
: And indeed, there is a risk that some people will feel left out, but that is always a tough task, drawing a line. I don't mind at all if people would add their own favourites, as long as they are reasonably notable (i.e. may be known outside Flanders at least). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 07:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

::Ok I figured it out. The nominations for deletion are in bad faith and some editors are getting all their friends to vote delete and of course only I and maybe 2 other people will vote keep because everyone else is oblivious. The basis for deletion is that the documents are not federal, this is bad faith.

In response to your statement on [[User:Crzrussian|Crazy Russian]]'s talk page:
It seems you have some knowledge about the City/Town/Hamlet/Vicinity of Gotem,Belgium.
Then why not put this knowledge to use and add it to the article?
You say it is nonsense, but you yourself admit this town does exist.
Furthermore, as you pointed out it IS in the dutch wikipedia, then why shouldnt it be here?
And if you think some of my information is nonsense, feel free to edit it. I have stated this many times.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 22:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:In response to your statement : Yes you are right, these towns (rural) lack significant urban development, thats why the population figure is taken within a certain radius (as you can see from the website, of course). Perhaps the original version of the article gave a mistaken impression of the population density near Gotem, but I believe this has been now corrected. Indeed, I see that [[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] has added some more information that makes Gotem quite a notable hamlet (at least the one in Limburg). However, I'm afraid I don't understand your position: you come across an article, you think its nonsense, you do some research and you find out that some of the infromation on the article is (in your opinion) inaccurate. Then you proceed to speedy-delete the page and later AfD instead of just correcting the information. Why do such a thing? Just edit the damn page so its correct and be done with it.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 21:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for acknowledging at least part of your errors, although I feel that you still try to pretend that you did something good when you only produced rubbish ealier. I speedy deleted (or rather proposed them for it, I can't delete anything) them when they were nonsense articles. I AfD'ed when they contained a minimum of verifiable content, and a lot of rubbish otherwise. Only then have you and your buddies started upgrading the article, removing all the errors I pointed out. Gotem can stay, perhaps, although I still don't see why it can't be just included as a section in the Borgloon article. Polfbroekstraat, Eiland, and Oordegemsestraat, and the Project, are still complete nonsense, and the first three have no chance of becoming anything else. As for the population numbers and the website: as you have seen on the Gotem discussion, but still seem to ignore: this is pure rubbish. When you have a small village near a larger city, you don't include the population numbers of that city into the population of your village, and you don't claim that some hamlet like Eiland is in fact one of the largest cities of East Flanders. This is plain and simple bullshit. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 21:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Satellite data shows that [[Gotem]], which we define as 50° 47' 60" N, 5° 17' 60" E and the area 7km around it, does not include any visible areas of dense population (which would be denoted by a solid yellow, as in your Glenwood Heights example). See my arguments [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem|here]] I acknowledge that Fallingrain is imperfect in certain cases, but that it is actually quite useful in this case. I have no position on [[Polfbroekstraat]], [[Eiland]], or [[Oordegemsestraat]] (doesn't 'straat' mean street?).

== Re: [[Eiland]] ==

Hi, many thanks for your explanation.

Four of the articles you named were deleted by me (two as obvious nonsense), however it would seem that all except [[Oordegemsestraat]] have been recreated. While I agree that at least some of the articles are hoaxes, I will stay out of the debate at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem]] for now. Also, I won't speedy delete the articles again (it would seem that they would only be recreated anyway), as rather than speedying twice when some editors seem to be expressing concern, I think it's best if the issue is settled via AfD. This may or may not require nominating all the articles for deletion; feel free to tag them if you wish – [[User:Gurch|Gurch]] 18:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

:Fram, I finally finished the deletion article for Polfbroekstraat. Will you do Eiland? As you probably know, it is a street which starts off in the built-up centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, (the church on the right, and a water mill on the left later on) and a little later splits off to the left, into fields (a "verkaveling, I suppose) It is on page 133 (East-Flanders) of the road map I quoted. I am starting to wonder whether "Eiland" is not mentioned on the map these guys base themselves on because of that mill [http://www.pixagogo.com/1170175159 search for "Houtem"] and [http://www.belgiumview.com/belgiumview/tl1/view0004259.php4 | euh, "Heilandmolen?"] An official map is to be found at [http://paola.erfgoed.net/engine/fiche.php?id=002140&pv=O hier]Eiland is the street below the site, on the right of the mill it turns to the left.

== Mediation Request ==

Hi,

I received a notification of your Request for Mediation. I am a little confused by it though, as I am not aware of any dispute that I have with you or anyone in the list of involved parties (although I am, of course, familiar with the situation over Gotem/Kottem/Eiland and whatever else). If you feel that there is a dispute between the two of us, I would be glad to discuss it with you. However, at the moment, I don't understand the need for mediation and I'm inclined to disagree with the request. I'll hold off on posting my disagreement to the mediation page until I hear back from you though. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 20:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for the clarification. Admittedly, I am a little ignorant of the mediation process, but I was under the impression that all participants were considered disputants. I'm still a little reluctant to join, as I'm not sure what positive outcome there could be. If indeed the editors in question were adding and editing articles in bad faith, then this seems to be less of a dispute than it is an out and out policy violation. Further, it seems to me that mediation requires that all parties act in good faith throughout the process and thereafter. If the basis of the complaint is that one or more parties are not acting in good faith as editors, then will it be productive to go through the whole process? I'm not so sure. In any case, I'll be glad to contribute however I can. It might be worth looking into a solution that will be a better fit for the problem though. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 11:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

::It's my first mediation attempt as well, and I'm not very optimistic about the chances for success, but I fear that I have to try it before I can take further actions. See [[Wikipedia:Resolving disputes]]: We have long passed the first step (talking), but I can't go to arbitration before at least trying one of the second level steps (of which mediation is one). It is hard to get them blocked for vandalism, as their behaviour is more complex and devious (see e.g. the entry on this talk page below this one). I guess some of them will be blocked in the end, but it may be a while. Still, it's worth a shot. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 12:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:::A good step in the interim would be to report the vandalism warning the user posted to your page. At first glance, it would appear to be in bad faith, making the warning itself vandalism. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 12:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

== :-) ==

Yes I was inacitve for over a year partly becuase I left wikipeida over how stupid it was and became very active in ogame.org so I didnt have time to deal with the nonsense that takes place on wikipedia. I think you can see from my edits that I am have done a fair amount for this site (Alot on the civil war and other history bits) so I am not a user that just trolls about looking for problems. These are my real life friends and they asked me to put in my two cents, so I did. Now to answer your question as to why they are doing this A) to fight deletionism and B) becuase of gotem(speech). (Sit down and take some notes its time for a history lesson) Now about a year or so ago we made a gotem entry that was about the word gotem. It was put up for speedy delete but we got it to a VFD then for awhile we were winning the VfD (got half of are grade to come in and chime in) but then boat loads of people from Wiki chimmed in and we lost in a hard fought battle (hence the first battle of gotem) now GOtem is a city, township, hamlet whatever but its perfectly noteworthy. If you have an article on Eastside high school and one on gainesville, Florida whos only claim to fame is that UF is located in it. Why not just put that in the UF artilce no need for Gainesville Ariticle. We are just trying to have some fun and show how silly the whole wikipeida system is. By trying to keep this "oh no one is higher then anyone" nonsense all you are doing is making the project a lot harder then it needs to be. But hey its your ship, if you want to sink it be my guest.

By the way I dont know about this whole think you put on my talk page and I (nor any of my friends) will be taking place in the medieation thing.

So we would be happy to see you contributing in such articles but be careful that what you remove is really superfluous.

Furthermore, I did add the hockey clubs, so I'll put them back as I see it as part of the Belgian life but I admit it is no crucial info.

I asked [[User:Mjolnir1984]], who I suppose has written it to reformat it and spread it on the right pages. He's trying to add his content since a month ago, without real success.

Hi! {{cl|Angoulême International Comics Festival}} has too many stubs that can never be expanded. Stubs can attract vandalism. Are you sure all those articles are notable? Also, if they are, why not merge them into five or ten longer articles? Cheers, --[[User:unforgettableid|unforgettableid]] | [[User_talk:unforgettableid|talk to me]] 13:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:I think one of the problems is that I often forget to remove the 'stub' indication when an article is finished (although still short).
:I compared the Angoulême articles to the Grammy articles, and noticed that they are fairly similar: some of the categories are large, with many notable artists, and a long history, while other are very short, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album]], and/or finished, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance]].
:As the Angoulême awards are in their field (European comics) equally important as the Grammies are for (American) music, I think it is logical to have a similar structure. I had already combined some awards with similar names or targets, and probable some others that are now divided could be combined as well, but as a whole, I feel they are necessary.
:The French Wikipedia has taken another approach, with one article for every year the festival is held (i.e. 33 articles and counting), plus separate articles for many major awards (I count at least 16 of those). As I felt that this was a bit too much, I only made articles for the awards.
:I think that the information given in those articles should at least be kept, but if you have ideas how best to merge some of the awards without losing the overview, you're more than welcome to either present the ideas or make the new (merged) articles. I feel it would be a pity to delete any info though.
:By the way, I'm now up to 1989 in my scanning of the awards presented, and I have no idea how many more award categories I'll have to add. I think I have most, but I know of at least 4 more to come.
[[User:Fram|Fram]] 13:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

::I have created an article (Media awards) that covers four previous awards and two I still had to add, and have created redirects from the four previous awards (perhaps they can be deleted, I don't know). This slightly decreases the number of articles and stubs in the category. I hope this is a first step to what you had in mind? There are probably a few others I can give the same treatment, but there will probably be a few others I still have to add, so no promises as to how many articles will stay in the end... [[User:Fram|Fram]] 15:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

==Mechelen==
Good idea this 'Famous inhabitants' section for '[[Mechelen]]', Fram. Perhaps I'll mention ''Jef Denyn'' elsewhere in the article. There are a few more:
Josephine Leemans-Verbustel, better known as the singer ''Jo Leemans'', ''Marc Uytterhoeven'' and abouth 20% or so of the people that we knew to work at or with the single official Flemish TV (historically NIR/BRT/VRT) in the last 50 years (journalists, presenters, actors of the Mechels Miniatuurtheater [e.g. the once so popular series "De collega's"],...). A number of famous national politicians like ''Antoon Spinoy'' (after whom the Cultural Centre in Mechelen is named), ''Jef Ramaekers'', ''Jos De Saeger'', the first of the Flemish government who let himself be ''called'' minister-''president'': ''Luc Van den Brande'',...
All the archbishops since the 16th century (this should be easy: you might put the list in an article and link to it - I'm not too sure about ''Mercier'' though: he preferred to stay closer to the royal family and thus split the title of Mechelen to Mechelen-Brussels; still only Mechelen can have had his official address).
The list of historical figures will get longer too, and it includes a few famous catholic missionaries, in fact many because the city housed the Seminary where so many lived during their education to priesthood.
If you really want to do this, I wish you good luck and a lot of patience; start by setting precise delimiters (for instance: reasonably well known at least in the whole Region of Flanders and/or a standard of importance for the more specific branches, mentioning exclusion of seminarists and the military in one of the three former caserns - especially since all Belgian military administrative personnel trainees stayed in one - who may have had an official address elsewhere) - the result would certainly interest me. In case you might find the job a bit bigger than expected, I would suggest completely removing the section so as not to hurt people's feelings for being left out, and to avoid disputes with their fans. You made a good start: I was rather surprised about a few names; please, prove that ''it can be done''. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:45 (UTC)

P.S. Should you continue and come across good stuff, check whether the person's current Wikipedia article can use the extra information or create the person's article - don't let fine work get lost. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:59 (UTC)

: Thanks! I have started with those people that have a Wikipedia article (on the English language Wikipedia, that is) where it is mentioned that they lived (were born, died, ...) in Mechelen. I did indeed leave out those people that studied in Mechelen, and I left out a few that I thought weren't famous enough for an international encyclopedia. I probably should have included Jef Denyn though.
I'm just doing this for all Flemish villages and cities (and probably the Wallon ones and the Dutch ones afterwards): check out if there are any Wikipedia articles that mention an inhabitant of the village, and if they are reasonably well known, I include them as "famous inhabitants". I will try to do this on a regular basis, to catch the additions, but I'll not try to find "missing" (from the encyclopedia) persons normally. I have finished West and East Flanders and Antwerp now, and will start on Limburg next.
: And indeed, there is a risk that some people will feel left out, but that is always a tough task, drawing a line. I don't mind at all if people would add their own favourites, as long as they are reasonably notable (i.e. may be known outside Flanders at least). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 07:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

In response to your statement on [[User:Crzrussian|Crazy Russian]]'s talk page:
It seems you have some knowledge about the City/Town/Hamlet/Vicinity of Gotem,Belgium.
Then why not put this knowledge to use and add it to the article?
You say it is nonsense, but you yourself admit this town does exist.
Furthermore, as you pointed out it IS in the dutch wikipedia, then why shouldnt it be here?
And if you think some of my information is nonsense, feel free to edit it. I have stated this many times.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 22:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:In response to your statement : Yes you are right, these towns (rural) lack significant urban development, thats why the population figure is taken within a certain radius (as you can see from the website, of course). Perhaps the original version of the article gave a mistaken impression of the population density near Gotem, but I believe this has been now corrected. Indeed, I see that [[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] has added some more information that makes Gotem quite a notable hamlet (at least the one in Limburg). However, I'm afraid I don't understand your position: you come across an article, you think its nonsense, you do some research and you find out that some of the infromation on the article is (in your opinion) inaccurate. Then you proceed to speedy-delete the page and later AfD instead of just correcting the information. Why do such a thing? Just edit the damn page so its correct and be done with it.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 21:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for acknowledging at least part of your errors, although I feel that you still try to pretend that you did something good when you only produced rubbish ealier. I speedy deleted (or rather proposed them for it, I can't delete anything) them when they were nonsense articles. I AfD'ed when they contained a minimum of verifiable content, and a lot of rubbish otherwise. Only then have you and your buddies started upgrading the article, removing all the errors I pointed out. Gotem can stay, perhaps, although I still don't see why it can't be just included as a section in the Borgloon article. Polfbroekstraat, Eiland, and Oordegemsestraat, and the Project, are still complete nonsense, and the first three have no chance of becoming anything else. As for the population numbers and the website: as you have seen on the Gotem discussion, but still seem to ignore: this is pure rubbish. When you have a small village near a larger city, you don't include the population numbers of that city into the population of your village, and you don't claim that some hamlet like Eiland is in fact one of the largest cities of East Flanders. This is plain and simple bullshit. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 21:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

As you probably know, it is a street which starts off in the built-up centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, (the church on the right, and a water mill on the left later on) and a little later splits off to the left, into fields (a "verkaveling, I suppose) It is on page 133 (East-Flanders) of the road map I quoted. I am starting to wonder whether "Eiland" is not mentioned on the map these guys base themselves on because of that mill [http://www.pixagogo.com/1170175159 search for "Houtem"] and [http://www.belgiumview.com/belgiumview/tl1/view0004259.php4 | euh, "Heilandmolen?"] An official map is to be found at [http://paola.erfgoed.net/engine/fiche.php?id=002140&pv=O hier]Eiland is the street below the site, on the right of the mill it turns to the left.

== Mediation Request ==

Hi,

I received a notification of your Request for Mediation. I am a little confused by it though, as I am not aware of any dispute that I have with you or anyone in the list of involved parties (although I am, of course, familiar with the situation over Gotem/Kottem/Eiland and whatever else). If you feel that there is a dispute between the two of us, I would be glad to discuss it with you. However, at the moment, I don't understand the need for mediation and I'm inclined to disagree with the request. I'll hold off on posting my disagreement to the mediation page until I hear back from you though. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 20:58, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for the clarification. Admittedly, I am a little ignorant of the mediation process, but I was under the impression that all participants were considered disputants. I'm still a little reluctant to join, as I'm not sure what positive outcome there could be. If indeed the editors in question were adding and editing articles in bad faith, then this seems to be less of a dispute than it is an out and out policy violation. Further, it seems to me that mediation requires that all parties act in good faith throughout the process and thereafter. If the basis of the complaint is that one or more parties are not acting in good faith as editors, then will it be productive to go through the whole process? I'm not so sure. In any case, I'll be glad to contribute however I can. It might be worth looking into a solution that will be a better fit for the problem though. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 11:57, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

::It's my first mediation attempt as well, and I'm not very optimistic about the chances for success, but I fear that I have to try it before I can take further actions. See [[Wikipedia:Resolving disputes]]: We have long passed the first step (talking), but I can't go to arbitration before at least trying one of the second level steps (of which mediation is one). It is hard to get them blocked for vandalism, as their behaviour is more complex and devious (see e.g. the entry on this talk page below this one). I guess some of them will be blocked in the end, but it may be a while. Still, it's worth a shot. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 12:03, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:::A good step in the interim would be to report the vandalism warning the user posted to your page. At first glance, it would appear to be in bad faith, making the warning itself vandalism. [[User:ScottW|ScottW]] 12:08, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

:6 days after my last edit to that article? In what way was it "blatant vandalism"? I can hardly damage the "hard work of others" on the [[Eiland]] page, as it is a load of rubbish. But anyway, I haven't changed a word on it, I just added a Speedy delete tag, which is long since replaced by the AfD. But thanks for reminding me why I thought a RfM was necessary...

== :-) ==

Yes I was inacitve for over a year partly becuase I left wikipeida over how stupid it was and became very active in ogame.org so I didnt have time to deal with the nonsense that takes place on wikipedia. I think you can see from my edits that I am have done a fair amount for this site (Alot on the civil war and other history bits) so I am not a user that just trolls about looking for problems. These are my real life friends and they asked me to put in my two cents, so I did. Now to answer your question as to why they are doing this A) to fight deletionism and B) becuase of gotem(speech). (Sit down and take some notes its time for a history lesson) Now about a year or so ago we made a gotem entry that was about the word gotem. It was put up for speedy delete but we got it to a VFD then for awhile we were winning the VfD (got half of are grade to come in and chime in) but then boat loads of people from Wiki chimmed in and we lost in a hard fought battle (hence the first battle of gotem) now GOtem is a city, township, hamlet whatever but its perfectly noteworthy. If you have an article on Eastside high school and one on gainesville, Florida whos only claim to fame is that UF is located in it. Why not just put that in the UF artilce no need for Gainesville Ariticle. We are just trying to have some fun and show how silly the whole wikipeida system is. By trying to keep this "oh no one is higher then anyone" nonsense all you are doing is making the project a lot harder then it needs to be. But hey its your ship, if you want to sink it be my guest.

By the way I dont know about this whole think you put on my talk page and I (nor any of my friends) will be taking place in the medieation thing.

I would go back and check for spelling and grammar but I dont really care. [[User:578|578]] 17:26, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kottem

2006-06-20T04:15:34Z

578:

===[[Kottem]]===
This article is a disgrace to Wikipedia.

In fact there is a hamlet in [[Sint-Lievens-Houtem]] called Cotthem. No more than a circular road boarding on the Polbroek (which has also been turned into a metropolis as [[Polfbroekstraat]]). It was a hamlet of the village of Oombergen, which has been merged into Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Now, all that is already on the page of SLH. How can Sint-Lievens-Houtem, which has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, harbour a hamlet with 39,070 inhabitants?

Of course, I can provide pictures of this circular road (I happen to live in the neighbourhood - it is nice cycling there), but somehow I think that even a letter by the mayor of Sint-Lievens-Houtem is not going to convince those people (are there really four of them?) who are prepared to create a parallel universe.

What I write here also holds for Eiland and Polfbroekstraat (actually a misprint for Polbroek), of course: only relatively unimportant streets in Sint-Lievens-Houtem![[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]
pgp 19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following pictures show what a great metropolis Cotthem now is. Unfortunately, the only economic assets of Cotthem, two special beer pubs and two good but pricey restaurants are not shown here: [http://www.sint-lievens-houtem.be/cotthemwandeling/] The walk started in the centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so forget the first picture, which shows the church of SLH (not that it has much of a big apple feeling, by the way). If someone thinks this piece of the world needs mention in Wikipedia, because it is so peaceful there (one of the quietest places in East-Flanders) or because the Romans built part of Cotthem (the street, I mean), or because there is still a bridge over what used to be a tramway track long ago, go ahead ... [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 22:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Would it be allowed to use one of these pictures (the Roman soldier, for instance) in the article?
:::Luckily for you, it is not a Roman soldier, only a "momnument" (to point out that the Romans built a street here, and no they did not build this whole street, only a small part of it) - so Belgian portrait right does not apply. Belgian copyright is at stake here - you will have to ask the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. But I'm sure they will think it such a good joke to make a Wikipedia article about this street that obtaining their permission will not be very difficult. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, I figured it was probably a statue of a soldier, since there were no cameras in Ancient Rome/Belgium. I'll have to ask those folks about it. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 19:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Your nomination gives no reason to delete the article besides that it "is a disgrace to Wikipedia." Those pictures of Cotthem establish that it does indeed exist, and if it's large enough to support 2 restaurants and 2 pubs, then it ought to be kept. Your pictures also establish the history of Cotthem, and you seem to know about the area. Why not add to the article? [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Please realize that this is not an "area". It is a STREET running through green fields and an artificial wood. It does not "support" these pubs and restaurants, people from elsewhere come there (wonderful place to walk and cycle) to drink and eat. Just look up Cotthem 1 and then Cotthem 6 and Cotthem 9 in www.mappy.be (6 and 9 are the two pubs by the way) and you will see how far away houses are from each other. Basically it is a very quiet place which explains why people like to have a pint or a meal there. I did not know much about the street, I just looked on the website of the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. And I happen to understand the captions which appear when you hold your mouse on these pictures. And no, I am not going to add to an article which claims this is a city of more than 30,000 inhabitants, when every Belgian would find it a joke if it was in the Dutch-speaking Wikipedia - and we tend to put hamlets there which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This street is not Wall Street. And no, I do not live there either (in case you are starting to think I am a nimby and want to keep it quiet). So my basic argument is: if you make an article about this street, you will have to make one about half of the streets in Belgium. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]---pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::'''Comment''' That argument is not valid, you do not have to make articles about everything of comparable notability just because one exists. You still haven't provided a reason to delete the article beyond "it is a disgrace" and "this is a street," both of which are not reasons to delete an article. I still have seen no evidence beyond your claims that suggest that this is anything other than a town. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry, but you are defending articles about things you know nothing about, as has been shown before. You and your friends only started to look at what Gotem really is and introduce that into the article after the AfD was filed, even though you had had two years of looking into it before, but just couldn't be bothered. Now you are trying to do the same all over again here, and will probably on Eiland and Polfbroekstraat as well. While Gotem was, luckily for you, an existing, though small, village (even though it had nothing to do with the original nonsense article), you don't have such an easy escape here. Take a look at this [http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?isAvoidFrontiers=false&isFavoriseAutoroute=false&isAvoidPeage=false&isAvoidVignette=false&isAvoidLNR=false&strTypeStep=0&strVehicle=0&reinit=1&strStartAddress=&strStartCP=&strStartCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strStartCityCountry=311&strDestAddress=kottem&strDestCP=&strDestCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strDestCityCountry=311&image2.x=17&image2.y=18 ViaMichelin page], and click on the map to have a better look. You can see that Kottem, Polfbroek, and Eiland, are three streets around the market of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. These are thoroughly non-notable and have no reason at all to be included in Wikipedia. If one of them has even one interesting, encyclopedic fact about them, add it to the main article about Sint-Lievens-Houtem.
::::My question to you and The Raven is still standing: why did you bother creating, modifying, and defending articles about places you know actually nothing about and had no idea about their importance, notability, or whatever? Was the only reason that they somehow turned up in your search for words similar to Got'em and Caught'em (probably the "first battle of Gotem", since the recent one is described as the second one)? I don't mind that this all started as a joke, but it has grown very, very stale, and the little bit of respect you as a group gained by correcting finally the Gotem article is rapidly disapearing again. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 05:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::'''Comment''' Frankly this is irrelevant, although I could take the time to answer this question, it has no value in this discussion. The point is an article was created about Kottem, and some of us believe it is a town, the others a street. The latter group vehemently advocate deletion, while the former group attempt to fix the article and make it truthful/verfiable. I have yet to see any usefull contribution to this article from those who advocate its deletion, while (surprisingly enough) they present such contributions only on these 'votes for deletion' pages. If I were to make an analogy, we are a group of workers attempting to erect a building, while a crowd of jeering kids shouts at us with insults and various demoralizing statements from below. [[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 01:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' It exists. If its wrong fix it. What is there more to talk about? It would be nice if you could provide pictures though.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 03:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:That something exists is no reason to have it in an encyclopedia. It has to be notable. It is not. An article has to be possible that is more than a stub. It is not. If (a big if) anything of encyclopedic importance can be said about the street, add it to the Sint-Lievens-Houtem article.
::Untrue, an article need never become more than a stub. Many articles can't become more than a stub but are still notable. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 05:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::No, you are wrong. See e.g. [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents]: "City streets are contested, but minor streets are not generally notable". If you can only make a stub from a street, then it is not notable. Furthermore, the current article lists nothing about this street that is true. Even worse, there is no street with this name, it is a typo in some database. I have not seen one textbased article (i.e. not a map) which says anything about this city or street, so why should I assume it exists and has any notability? Find me some information that shows it has notability and enough can be said about it to have an article about it. Until then, "Delete" is the only possible vote.
:::: Beyond doubt it is notable, as [[User:Pan_Gerwazy]] has shown (in this very discussion!). If its a street then simply change the article. [[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 01:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
:'''Comment''' I chose a beautiful place to get my username form. Damn. It’s magnificent. Thank you for the images, [[User:Pan_Gerwazy|Pan Gerwazy]]. [[User:Polfbroekstraat|Polfbroekstraat]] 08:00, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:: '''Meta-comment''' The line above this is NOT by me, and is wilfully confusing. Note that this AfD is about Kottem, not Polfbroekstraat. One of this gang of four (perhaps the same one) also has a nickname "Gotem". So he was confused himself as well, I guess. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]] --pgp 21:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

==Explosion o' Vanity Page==

Heya Frecklfoot - I stumbled upon an anonymous users ([[User talk:71.112.119.194]]) change, and happened to look at the list of changes they had made. This user seems to be on a bit of a vanity rampage, so to speak, for an indie game company they clearly have some relation with. This user added a page for their little three man indie company (they do have some titles they have released, so they do in fact exist, and I hope they do well). However, the page really strikes me as Ultimate Vanity Page, and doesn't seem to bear any resemblence to other similar company pages. It is blatantly non NPOV (not in the "BEST COMPANY EVAR!!!" sense, but more in general tone in that even a kid reading it would be clear on the fact that a very interested party wrote it).

I left a "holy crap! way non NPOV! Way advertisement/vanity!" message on the discussion (and a note on the users talk page mentioning it) that I'm sure they haven't seen and probably won't notice. As well, this user has gone on a bit of a trek through wikipedia, adding mention of their games and links to these games pages that this user is in some way related to. In short, the user has shown up to Wikipedia for pretty clearly the sole purpose of vanity-ing in their company and games and people (the main employees now have their own wiki page too, now).

Anyhoo, I am not l33t in the ways of the Wikipedia, and so I figured I would seek out a seasoned veteran of such things on the games related topics to take a peek at all this and see what they think. The contribution list for the user above (the company page is the [[Digital Eel]] wodge of entries) demonstrates what I refer to. So, if you might have a moment to take a look and see whatall you think of all this, that would be awesome. Thanks!

==Videogames infobox template==
Hi. Since I had some difficulty navigating the various discussion pages on this project, I thought I'd just ask you. I really like the infobox as it is right now but I've been thinking that it would be interesting to add "composer(s)" beneath "designer(s)" in the box. I know most people really don't think much of videogame music (and the genre is often a bit neglected), but there has been an increase in appreciation over the years. At least in Japan the phenonemon is a lot bigger, and there are already quite a few "big names" out there ([[Nobuo Uematsu]], [[Richard Jacques]]), not to mention classic videogaming scores ([[Quake 2]] by [[Sonic Mayhem]], the [[Castlevania]] series, the [[Sonic the Hedgehog]] series,...). Nowadays even regular music artists have begun to write videogame scores (think [[Chris Vrenna]]'s [[American McGee's Alice|Alice]] score). Anyway, point I'm argueing: composers shouldn't be left out in this infobox. As it is right now I don't really find a place in the box to put the composer (to list them as "designer" seems too much like a stretch to me). Let me know what you think. --[[User:Steerpike|Steerpike]] 22:47, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

:I think, if you haven't already, you should bring this topic up on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Computer_and_video_games|The Project]] [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Computer_and_video_games|talk page]]. That's what the project is for. I'm sorry you have trouble navigating the discussions page, but all you need to do is go to the ''very bottom'' topic, click the edit button (I'm not sure where it is located on all the different skins since I'm using the classic skin), and add your topic to the bottom. It's really just as easy as you added comments to my Talk page here.

:As for my personal opinion, I really don't think it's necesarry. But, if I were a video game composer, I'm sure I would feel differently. If it were added, it would definately have to be an optional parameter since many games don't even have "composers" (think of most of the games from the home computer era—many had no music at all).

I still recommend against reinstating the article for the time being because the source information (required for Wikipedia's GFDL licencing) is split over too many articles. This needs to be resolved by an admin who understands how to fix all this. If you want to set the gears in motion to getting this fixed, I recommend discussing this with [[User:Jnc]]. Ask him about looking into fixing the page histories. At least find out what he thinks before proceeding. [[User:K1Bond007|K1Bond007]] 21:40, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
:I've been looking into the situation some more and I think I've come up with a solution. Essentially, "Computer and video games" began as "Computer game" and was moved. Around December (20-28) 2004, "Video game", a seperate article at the time was merged in. So what I think I want to do is is just archive the current "Video game" article at, say, [[Video game/Old]] (any archives we make would be noted on the discussion page). Next, I think we would either delete "Computer game" and move [[Personal computer game]] there or we would simply redirect it to "Personal computer game"— the two share only a few sentences.

:This is a mess and theres really no way to merge the histories as I previously thought. In the end, following your plan, "Computer and video games" would simply get moved to Video game (the contents of this previously moved to the archive) and then your new edition would be pasted over the new Video game. Does this make sense? Going ahead with this or not I think I'm going to archive Video game anyway (I'll have to sort out the discussion stuff too) and I'll note the discussion stuff on the discussion page.

:I am more and more agreeing that the whole "Computer and video games" deal needs to be changed to simply "Video game", I just want to see a plan. If we iron this out, I'll aid you in anyway in making this happen with the CVG project. I just want to know what articles we're going to end up having and which we won't need and how the article of Video game will be treated. My current belief is that Video game isn't anything really more than an umbrella term and should be treated as merely an overview of the industry with links to Console game, Computer game, Handheld game, Arcade game, whatever. Then we'd have to figure out some of the rest, categories, history of video games (ridiculously named "History of computer and video games" then broken down to "History of video games (whatever generation)"—ridiculous being the History of CVG to History of VG.") etc.

:Hate to drop all this on your doorstep, but... things aren't that great to begin with and it all needs to be cleaned up anyway. Let me know if this is something you wish to pursue. [[User:K1Bond007|K1Bond007]] 21:03, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Sounds good to me (I think), but I'd move [[computer and video games]] to just [[computer game]], not [[personal computer game]]. Just ''my'' preference, of course. I'm not sure why you want to get rid of the video game article, since I wrote it to replace the [[computer and video games]] article (unless you just think it ''sucks'' :-). I have less time to spend on Wikipedia as I used to, so I don't have much time to contribute to this whole effort, though I'd like to see it happen. — [[User:Frecklefoot|Frecklefoot]] | [[User talk:Frecklefoot|Talk]] 18:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
:I think you got confused. Let me try to draw a picture here :D
:Step 1. Move [[Video game]] to [[Video game/Old]] or archive or whatever.
:Step 2. Move the current [[Computer and video game]] article to "Video game." (may require deleting the redirect of "Video game" to "Video game/Old", I don't know. We'll see.
:Step 3. Paste Frecklefoot's Video game article over the new "Video game" article.
:Step 4. Cleanup.
:This move will probably necessitate a poll or more discussion at the WikiProject because a lot of things will get changed. So we'll definitely do the first step then discuss the move with the Project and continue on (assuming agreement) with steps 2-4. I do have some problems with your revision of video game and I went through and edited another version that puts more emphasis on the umbrella term of video game. I haven't finished going through the entire thing, but the intro and the first section is what I think the article should have. I also moved some sections around to give the article a little more cohesion and flow, but like I said, I really haven't read all of it yet.

== Homeschooling project ==

Hello, My name [[User:Master Scott Hall|Master Scott Hall]] (you can call me Scott). I am relatively new contributing to Wikipedia, though I have been a user of it for some time. I am currently soliciting for interest in a Wikiproject that I have proposed on the subject of homeschooling. Before finding Wikipedia, my wife and I were seriously considering, but not quite convinced, to home educate our children.

After discovering the depth, scope, and long-term goals of Wikipedia, as well as the individuals driving it, I am convinced that WP has the potential to revolutionize homeschooling. I am also convinced that home education is the right choice for my family. I have, however, been somewhat discouraged by the oversight of home education in most of the education related projects on WP. There are many potential reasons for this discrepency, but I have resolved to try to do something about it.

Although I personally have very limited experience in building complex Wikiprojects, -templates, -portals, etc., I am confident that the right team can be assembled to tackle these issues. I would like to invite you to join this effort to make Wikipedia the resource for the home education of our children. If you are interested, please visits the [[User:Master Scott Hall/Homeschooling project|temporary project page]] I have set up. Thank you --[[User:Master Scott Hall|Master Scott Hall]] 23:32, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

:I doubt you're going to revisit my page to discuss this, '''but''' Wikipedia is not the right forum to "revolutionize homeschooling." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and using it as a platform for the anything but distributing [[neutral point of view|NPOV]] information is prohibited. If you want to start a [[Wikipedia:Wikiprojects|Wikiproject]] to organize the education related articles, great, please do so. But don't try to use Wikipedia as a tool to preach the benefits of homeschooling--you'll quickly get shot down.

:Starting a Wikiproject is easy. The page I linked above gives great information on how to do it. First start it and get feedback from participants on what you should do with the project. But I thought there was already an Education Wikiproject. Anyway, just keep it NPOV and you should do fine.

:If you really want to use a [[wiki]] to "revolutionize homeschooling," though, start your own wiki. The Wikimedia software is free. — [[User:Frecklefoot|Frecklefoot]] | [[User talk:Frecklefoot|Talk]] 02:24, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

::I apologize if I gave you the wrong impression. It is not my intent to do anything outside the scope of WP. I simply want to further develop home education (as well as other "no-traditional education) related subjects/articles and then organize them in a useful way, as has been done with many other subjects in WP. The Education Portal is a good example and I am not opposed to expanding that project with non-traditional resources, as long as the organizers/supporters of that are open to the idea.

::I am a supporter of NPOV myself, so rest assured, that won't be an issue. As you have most certainly read, only a small percentage of people, in the US at least, know much about non-traditional education. As a result, it has not been the focus of much more than the few, possibly a little radical, people whom I get the feeling you feel I may be one of. I am no radical, one way or the other. I would just like to focus my NPOV efforts on a subject that needs a little help. Perhaps using 'revolutionize' was not smart. I should know better than to wield words like that in this venue.

::That being said, you sound like a well-seasoned wikiphile. I would still like to invite you to participate. I am sure that your POV instincts will be an asset to the project. Thanks, and again, sorry for the confusion--[[User:Master Scott Hall|Master Scott Hall]] 04:35, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

Frecklefoot, I think you misunderstood the point. (Or else possibly all I did.) What I read Scott as meaning was that Wikipedia is a spectacular education tool homeschoolers should use, and he wanted to enhance that as much as possible. I already agree Wikipedia is a spectacular homeschooling tool; the purposes are parallel: the dissemination of information. Wikipedia's purpose of, as you stated, dissemination of NPOV information is wonderful for a homeschooling family. What a project could add to that I do not yet know, but the idea would be something similar to Wikibooks and Wikiversity. In fact, Scott might find a better home in one of those projects. [[User:Jdavidb|Jdavidb]] ([[User_talk:Jdavidb|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Jdavidb|contribs]]) 14:50, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

:Well I'm certainly flattered that you would personally invite me to participate in such a project. However, I can't guarentee participation for two reasons.

:1) I am scaling back my Wikipedia time. Wikipedia is an amazing resource, but my involvement cut into some time that I should be devoting elsewhere.

:2) I have no specilization with education, homeschooling or otherwise. I am neither a homeschooling opponent or proponent. I think it is right for some and a complete disaster for others (my exposure has been limited to the latter). So I don't think I'd be able to help with any homeschooling articles, since I'd probably just point out the negatives, which is clearly POV. Obviously, my kids aren't homeschooled (if they were, I probably would have more positive things to say--still I think it is done well by some, but not all practitioners).

:I am a well-seasoned Wikiphile (thank you for saying so), but I can't promise my help on this project. I may copyedit an article here or there that you create, but it would be purely by chance. Thanks for the invitation, however. — [[User:Frecklefoot|Frecklefoot]] | [[User talk:Frecklefoot|Talk]] 16:05, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

== Release Dates in arcade infobox - preferred format? ==

(I am reposting this from the Project:Arcade talk page, in an effort to see if insight can be gained)

I've noticed that the user plaguing me on the [[Splatterhouse]] article continues to switch the format of the info placed in the infobox regarding its release date. I initially had it listed as "November 1988" but he/she continues to switch it to "11/1988" and I am curious as to which format/instance is typically preferred/accepted? [[User:TheMonkofDestiny|TheMonkofDestiny]] 07:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

:Well, my preference is to just have the year and no month, since release months differ from region to region (remember, Wikipedia is an international encyclopedia). But, if you insist on having a month, my preference is to have the month spelled out. One reason is that it's more legible: the user doesn't have to translate "11" into "November". Also, date formats are not universal: in some areas the preference would be for the year to come first. But I also think it looks better spelled out. After all, 11/1988 is just a sloppy abbreviation and should only be used where space is at a premium (not a problem here on the 'pedia).

:Well, that's a nice assertion, but you haven't cited any Wikipedia policy. And I don't have the time to look it up.

:No, this has been voted down before for two reasons:
:#GameSpot is a commercial site. They require a subscription for some of their most useful content. While they do have some useful information, they are first and foremost in the business of making money.
:#A great deal of their content is reviews, which we have a policy against endorsing and linking to here.

:MobyGames does have reviews, but their foremost goal is cataloging and indexing game metrics, credits and other information. In fact, many of our articles on video games use the information on MobyGames as a starting point. While MobyGames does have banner ads, they're not really "commercial" in the same sense GameSpot is. The revenue from their banner ads probably just covers the cost of the server space and little else.

Hi just wanted to let you know that some articles were written far ago and such articles deserve a bit of respect, especially those concerning disputes like the supposed Dutch-French dispute in Belgium...
So we would be happy to see you contributing in such articles but be careful that what you remove is really superfluous.

Furthermore, I did add the hockey clubs, so I'll put them back as I see it as part of the Belgian life but I admit it is no crucial info. Thanx for your understanding and don't blame me for my "weird sentences" like you said. Happy edits, [[User:Julien Tuerlinckx|Julien Tuerlinckx]] 14:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Fram,
I saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Franco-Belgian_comics&curid=87391&diff=28491011&oldid=28419414 the text you reverted] on this article. There is indeed intersting content. I asked [[User:Mjolnir1984]], who I suppose has written it to reformat it and spread it on the right pages. He's trying to add his content since a month ago, without real success. If this content is back again, I propose to not revert it but to help him around with it. [[User:Lvr|Lvr]] 14:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

== Hi ==

Hi! {{cl|Angoulême International Comics Festival}} has too many stubs that can never be expanded. Stubs can attract vandalism. Are you sure all those articles are notable? Also, if they are, why not merge them into five or ten longer articles? Cheers, --[[User:unforgettableid|unforgettableid]] | [[User_talk:unforgettableid|talk to me]] 13:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:I think one of the problems is that I often forget to remove the 'stub' indication when an article is finished (although still short).
:I compared the Angoulême articles to the Grammy articles, and noticed that they are fairly similar: some of the categories are large, with many notable artists, and a long history, while other are very short, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album]], and/or finished, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance]].
:As the Angoulême awards are in their field (European comics) equally important as the Grammies are for (American) music, I think it is logical to have a similar structure. I had already combined some awards with similar names or targets, and probable some others that are now divided could be combined as well, but as a whole, I feel they are necessary.
:The French Wikipedia has taken another approach, with one article for every year the festival is held (i.e. 33 articles and counting), plus separate articles for many major awards (I count at least 16 of those). As I felt that this was a bit too much, I only made articles for the awards.
:I think that the information given in those articles should at least be kept, but if you have ideas how best to merge some of the awards without losing the overview, you're more than welcome to either present the ideas or make the new (merged) articles. I feel it would be a pity to delete any info though.
:By the way, I'm now up to 1989 in my scanning of the awards presented, and I have no idea how many more award categories I'll have to add. I think I have most, but I know of at least 4 more to come.
[[User:Fram|Fram]] 13:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

::I have created an article (Media awards) that covers four previous awards and two I still had to add, and have created redirects from the four previous awards (perhaps they can be deleted, I don't know). This slightly decreases the number of articles and stubs in the category. I hope this is a first step to what you had in mind? There are probably a few others I can give the same treatment, but there will probably be a few others I still have to add, so no promises as to how many articles will stay in the end... [[User:Fram|Fram]] 15:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

==Mechelen==
Good idea this 'Famous inhabitants' section for '[[Mechelen]]', Fram. Perhaps I'll mention ''Jef Denyn'' elsewhere in the article. There are a few more:
Josephine Leemans-Verbustel, better known as the singer ''Jo Leemans'', ''Marc Uytterhoeven'' and abouth 20% or so of the people that we knew to work at or with the single official Flemish TV (historically NIR/BRT/VRT) in the last 50 years (journalists, presenters, actors of the Mechels Miniatuurtheater [e.g. the once so popular series "De collega's"],...). A number of famous national politicians like ''Antoon Spinoy'' (after whom the Cultural Centre in Mechelen is named), ''Jef Ramaekers'', ''Jos De Saeger'', the first of the Flemish government who let himself be ''called'' minister-''president'': ''Luc Van den Brande'',...
All the archbishops since the 16th century (this should be easy: you might put the list in an article and link to it - I'm not too sure about ''Mercier'' though: he preferred to stay closer to the royal family and thus split the title of Mechelen to Mechelen-Brussels; still only Mechelen can have had his official address).
The list of historical figures will get longer too, and it includes a few famous catholic missionaries, in fact many because the city housed the Seminary where so many lived during their education to priesthood.
If you really want to do this, I wish you good luck and a lot of patience; start by setting precise delimiters (for instance: reasonably well known at least in the whole Region of Flanders and/or a standard of importance for the more specific branches, mentioning exclusion of seminarists and the military in one of the three former caserns - especially since all Belgian military administrative personnel trainees stayed in one - who may have had an official address elsewhere) - the result would certainly interest me. In case you might find the job a bit bigger than expected, I would suggest completely removing the section so as not to hurt people's feelings for being left out, and to avoid disputes with their fans. You made a good start: I was rather surprised about a few names; please, prove that ''it can be done''. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:45 (UTC)

P.S. Should you continue and come across good stuff, check whether the person's current Wikipedia article can use the extra information or create the person's article - don't let fine work get lost. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:59 (UTC)

: Thanks! I have started with those people that have a Wikipedia article (on the English language Wikipedia, that is) where it is mentioned that they lived (were born, died, ...) in Mechelen. I did indeed leave out those people that studied in Mechelen, and I left out a few that I thought weren't famous enough for an international encyclopedia. I probably should have included Jef Denyn though.
I'm just doing this for all Flemish villages and cities (and probably the Wallon ones and the Dutch ones afterwards): check out if there are any Wikipedia articles that mention an inhabitant of the village, and if they are reasonably well known, I include them as "famous inhabitants". I will try to do this on a regular basis, to catch the additions, but I'll not try to find "missing" (from the encyclopedia) persons normally. I have finished West and East Flanders and Antwerp now, and will start on Limburg next.
: And indeed, there is a risk that some people will feel left out, but that is always a tough task, drawing a line. I don't mind at all if people would add their own favourites, as long as they are reasonably notable (i.e. may be known outside Flanders at least). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 07:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

C'mon Fram, don't tell me '''YOU''' deleted the [[Snowspinner]] article. It wasn't vandalism, it was being bold, everything can be verified.

::<s>Hmm.. OK. Which article are you talking about? --[[User:Dont even try to hide the truth|Dont even try to hide the truth]] 10:32, 13 June 2006 (UTC)</s>
::Ok I figured it out. The nominations for deletion are in bad faith and some editors are getting all their friends to vote delete and of course only I and maybe 2 other people will vote keep because everyone else is oblivious. The basis for deletion is that the documents are not federal, this is bad faith. So I changed the liscensing to indicate "state" government. --[[User:Dont even try to hide the truth|Dont even try to hide the truth]] 10:36, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

== Gotem ==

In response to your statement on [[User:Crzrussian|Crazy Russian]]'s talk page:
It seems you have some knowledge about the City/Town/Hamlet/Vicinity of Gotem,Belgium.
Then why not put this knowledge to use and add it to the article?
You say it is nonsense, but you yourself admit this town does exist.
Furthermore, as you pointed out it IS in the dutch wikipedia, then why shouldnt it be here?
And if you think some of my information is nonsense, feel free to edit it. I have stated this many times.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 22:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:In response to your statement : Yes you are right, these towns (rural) lack significant urban development, thats why the population figure is taken within a certain radius (as you can see from the website, of course). Perhaps the original version of the article gave a mistaken impression of the population density near Gotem, but I believe this has been now corrected. Indeed, I see that [[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] has added some more information that makes Gotem quite a notable hamlet (at least the one in Limburg). However, I'm afraid I don't understand your position: you come across an article, you think its nonsense, you do some research and you find out that some of the infromation on the article is (in your opinion) inaccurate. Then you proceed to speedy-delete the page and later AfD instead of just correcting the information. Why do such a thing? Just edit the damn page so its correct and be done with it.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 21:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for acknowledging at least part of your errors, although I feel that you still try to pretend that you did something good when you only produced rubbish ealier. I speedy deleted (or rather proposed them for it, I can't delete anything) them when they were nonsense articles. I AfD'ed when they contained a minimum of verifiable content, and a lot of rubbish otherwise. Only then have you and your buddies started upgrading the article, removing all the errors I pointed out. Gotem can stay, perhaps, although I still don't see why it can't be just included as a section in the Borgloon article. Polfbroekstraat, Eiland, and Oordegemsestraat, and the Project, are still complete nonsense, and the first three have no chance of becoming anything else. As for the population numbers and the website: as you have seen on the Gotem discussion, but still seem to ignore: this is pure rubbish. When you have a small village near a larger city, you don't include the population numbers of that city into the population of your village, and you don't claim that some hamlet like Eiland is in fact one of the largest cities of East Flanders. This is plain and simple bullshit. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 21:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Satellite data shows that [[Gotem]], which we define as 50° 47' 60" N, 5° 17' 60" E and the area 7km around it, does not include any visible areas of dense population (which would be denoted by a solid yellow, as in your Glenwood Heights example). See my arguments [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem|here]] I acknowledge that Fallingrain is imperfect in certain cases, but that it is actually quite useful in this case. I have no position on [[Polfbroekstraat]], [[Eiland]], or [[Oordegemsestraat]] (doesn't 'straat' mean street?). My friends did not enlist my support simply because I am their friend... they know that I am a declared defender of [[Gotem]], I simply want to help preserve it. How did you come across the [[Gotem]] page anyway??? --[[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] 21:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Look at the scale of that map. Borgloon is 3 km away, Sint-Truiden is 9 km, etcetera. As you can see [http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?isAvoidFrontiers=false&isFavoriseAutoroute=false&isAvoidPeage=false&isAvoidVignette=false&isAvoidLNR=false&strTypeStep=0&strVehicle=0&reinit=1&strStartAddress=&strStartCP=&strStartCity=Gotem&strStartCityCountry=311&strDestAddress=&strDestCP=&strDestCity=Borgloon&strDestCityCountry=311&image2.x=15&image2.y=11 here] (click on the map to get a larger area), Gotem is the smallest village, adn it is surrounded very close by larger ones liek Hoepertingen and Wellen. Those make up the bulk of the 20,000 inhabitants and are the true population centres: Gotem is a speck of a few streets next to the larger Borgloon. So Fallingrain is not useful in this case (what did you base that one), as once again it gives a very small village in the neighbourhood of larger ones. Please, I may be harsh out of frustration, but I am not the one making things up here, your friends are (and to a larger extent were). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 22:03, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:Fram, please read what I wrote at the talk page of [[Polfbroekstraat]]. Something about Eiland there as well. This guy is creating a parallel universe - I suppose one day he will come out and claim that Wikipedia is full of nonsense.[[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 17:30, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

== Re: [[Eiland]] ==

Hi, many thanks for your explanation.

Four of the articles you named were deleted by me (two as obvious nonsense), however it would seem that all except [[Oordegemsestraat]] have been recreated. While I agree that at least some of the articles are hoaxes, I will stay out of the debate at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem]] for now. Also, I won't speedy delete the articles again (it would seem that they would only be recreated anyway), as rather than speedying twice when some editors seem to be expressing concern, I think it's best if the issue is settled via AfD. This may or may not require nominating all the articles for deletion; feel free to tag them if you wish – [[User:Gurch|Gurch]] 18:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

:Fram, I finally finished the deletion article for Polfbroekstraat. Will you do Eiland? As you probably know, it is a street which starts off in the built-up centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, (the church on the right, and a water mill on the left later on) and a little later splits off to the left, into fields (a "verkaveling, I suppose) It is on page 133 (East-Flanders) of the road map I quoted. I am starting to wonder whether "Eiland" is not mentioned on the map these guys base themselves on because of that mill [http://www.pixagogo.com/1170175159 search for "Houtem"] and [http://www.belgiumview.com/belgiumview/tl1/view0004259.php4 | euh, "Heilandmolen?"] An official map is to be found at [http://paola.erfgoed.net/engine/fiche.php?id=002140&pv=O hier]Eiland is the street below the site, on the right of the mill it turns to the left.

Hi,

I received a notification of your Request for Mediation. I am a little confused by it though, as I am not aware of any dispute that I have with you or anyone in the list of involved parties (although I am, of course, familiar with the situation over Gotem/Kottem/Eiland and whatever else). If you feel that there is a dispute between the two of us, I would be glad to discuss it with you. However, at the moment, I don't understand the need for mediation and I'm inclined to disagree with the request.

Josephine Leemans-Verbustel, better known as the singer ''Jo Leemans'', ''Marc Uytterhoeven'' and abouth 20% or so of the people that we knew to work at or with the single official Flemish TV (historically NIR/BRT/VRT) in the last 50 years (journalists, presenters, actors of the Mechels Miniatuurtheater [e.g. the once so popular series "De collega's"],...). A number of famous national politicians like ''Antoon Spinoy'' (after whom the Cultural Centre in Mechelen is named), ''Jef Ramaekers'', ''Jos De Saeger'', the first of the Flemish government who let himself be ''called'' minister-''president'': ''Luc Van den Brande'',...
All the archbishops since the 16th century (this should be easy: you might put the list in an article and link to it - I'm not too sure about ''Mercier'' though: he preferred to stay closer to the royal family and thus split the title of Mechelen to Mechelen-Brussels; still only Mechelen can have had his official address).
The list of historical figures will get longer too, and it includes a few famous catholic missionaries, in fact many because the city housed the Seminary where so many lived during their education to priesthood.
If you really want to do this, I wish you good luck and a lot of patience; start by setting precise delimiters (for instance: reasonably well known at least in the whole Region of Flanders and/or a standard of importance for the more specific branches, mentioning exclusion of seminarists and the military in one of the three former caserns - especially since all Belgian military administrative personnel trainees stayed in one - who may have had an official address elsewhere) - the result would certainly interest me. In case you might find the job a bit bigger than expected, I would suggest completely removing the section so as not to hurt people's feelings for being left out, and to avoid disputes with their fans. You made a good start: I was rather surprised about a few names; please, prove that ''it can be done''. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:45 (UTC)

P.S. Should you continue and come across good stuff, check whether the person's current Wikipedia article can use the extra information or create the person's article - don't let fine work get lost. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:59 (UTC)

: Thanks! I have started with those people that have a Wikipedia article (on the English language Wikipedia, that is) where it is mentioned that they lived (were born, died, ...) in Mechelen. I did indeed leave out those people that studied in Mechelen, and I left out a few that I thought weren't famous enough for an international encyclopedia. I probably should have included Jef Denyn though.
I'm just doing this for all Flemish villages and cities (and probably the Wallon ones and the Dutch ones afterwards): check out if there are any Wikipedia articles that mention an inhabitant of the village, and if they are reasonably well known, I include them as "famous inhabitants". I will try to do this on a regular basis, to catch the additions, but I'll not try to find "missing" (from the encyclopedia) persons normally. I have finished West and East Flanders and Antwerp now, and will start on Limburg next.
: And indeed, there is a risk that some people will feel left out, but that is always a tough task, drawing a line. I don't mind at all if people would add their own favourites, as long as they are reasonably notable (i.e. may be known outside Flanders at least). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 07:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

In response to your statement on [[User:Crzrussian|Crazy Russian]]'s talk page:
It seems you have some knowledge about the City/Town/Hamlet/Vicinity of Gotem,Belgium.
Then why not put this knowledge to use and add it to the article?
You say it is nonsense, but you yourself admit this town does exist.
Furthermore, as you pointed out it IS in the dutch wikipedia, then why shouldnt it be here?
And if you think some of my information is nonsense, feel free to edit it. I have stated this many times.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 22:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:In response to your statement : Yes you are right, these towns (rural) lack significant urban development, thats why the population figure is taken within a certain radius (as you can see from the website, of course). Perhaps the original version of the article gave a mistaken impression of the population density near Gotem, but I believe this has been now corrected. Indeed, I see that [[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] has added some more information that makes Gotem quite a notable hamlet (at least the one in Limburg). However, I'm afraid I don't understand your position: you come across an article, you think its nonsense, you do some research and you find out that some of the infromation on the article is (in your opinion) inaccurate. Then you proceed to speedy-delete the page and later AfD instead of just correcting the information. Why do such a thing? Just edit the damn page so its correct and be done with it.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 21:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for acknowledging at least part of your errors, although I feel that you still try to pretend that you did something good when you only produced rubbish ealier. I speedy deleted (or rather proposed them for it, I can't delete anything) them when they were nonsense articles. I AfD'ed when they contained a minimum of verifiable content, and a lot of rubbish otherwise. Only then have you and your buddies started upgrading the article, removing all the errors I pointed out. Gotem can stay, perhaps, although I still don't see why it can't be just included as a section in the Borgloon article. Polfbroekstraat, Eiland, and Oordegemsestraat, and the Project, are still complete nonsense, and the first three have no chance of becoming anything else. As for the population numbers and the website: as you have seen on the Gotem discussion, but still seem to ignore: this is pure rubbish. When you have a small village near a larger city, you don't include the population numbers of that city into the population of your village, and you don't claim that some hamlet like Eiland is in fact one of the largest cities of East Flanders. This is plain and simple bullshit. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 21:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Satellite data shows that [[Gotem]], which we define as 50° 47' 60" N, 5° 17' 60" E and the area 7km around it, does not include any visible areas of dense population (which would be denoted by a solid yellow, as in your Glenwood Heights example). See my arguments [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem|here]] I acknowledge that Fallingrain is imperfect in certain cases, but that it is actually quite useful in this case. I have no position on [[Polfbroekstraat]], [[Eiland]], or [[Oordegemsestraat]] (doesn't 'straat' mean street?).

Those make up the bulk of the 20,000 inhabitants and are the true population centres: Gotem is a speck of a few streets next to the larger Borgloon. So Fallingrain is not useful in this case (what did you base that one), as once again it gives a very small village in the neighbourhood of larger ones.

Hi, many thanks for your explanation.

Four of the articles you named were deleted by me (two as obvious nonsense), however it would seem that all except [[Oordegemsestraat]] have been recreated. While I agree that at least some of the articles are hoaxes, I will stay out of the debate at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem]] for now. Also, I won't speedy delete the articles again (it would seem that they would only be recreated anyway), as rather than speedying twice when some editors seem to be expressing concern, I think it's best if the issue is settled via AfD.

Hi,

I received a notification of your Request for Mediation. I am a little confused by it though, as I am not aware of any dispute that I have with you or anyone in the list of involved parties (although I am, of course, familiar with the situation over Gotem/Kottem/Eiland and whatever else). If you feel that there is a dispute between the two of us, I would be glad to discuss it with you.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kottem

2006-06-19T22:50:21Z

578: /* Kottem */

===[[Kottem]]===
This article is a disgrace to Wikipedia.

In fact there is a hamlet in [[Sint-Lievens-Houtem]] called Cotthem. No more than a circular road boarding on the Polbroek (which has also been turned into a metropolis as [[Polfbroekstraat]]). It was a hamlet of the village of Oombergen, which has been merged into Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Now, all that is already on the page of SLH. How can Sint-Lievens-Houtem, which has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, harbour a hamlet with 39,070 inhabitants?

Of course, I can provide pictures of this circular road (I happen to live in the neighbourhood - it is nice cycling there), but somehow I think that even a letter by the mayor of Sint-Lievens-Houtem is not going to convince those people (are there really four of them?) who are prepared to create a parallel universe.

What I write here also holds for Eiland and Polfbroekstraat (actually a misprint for Polbroek), of course: only relatively unimportant streets in Sint-Lievens-Houtem![[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]
pgp 19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following pictures show what a great metropolis Cotthem now is. Unfortunately, the only economic assets of Cotthem, two special beer pubs and two good but pricey restaurants are not shown here: [http://www.sint-lievens-houtem.be/cotthemwandeling/] The walk started in the centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so forget the first picture, which shows the church of SLH (not that it has much of a big apple feeling, by the way). If someone thinks this piece of the world needs mention in Wikipedia, because it is so peaceful there (one of the quietest places in East-Flanders) or because the Romans built part of Cotthem (the street, I mean), or because there is still a bridge over what used to be a tramway track long ago, go ahead ... [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 22:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Would it be allowed to use one of these pictures (the Roman soldier, for instance) in the article?
:::Luckily for you, it is not a Roman soldier, only a "momnument" (to point out that the Romans built a street here, and no they did not build this whole street, only a small part of it) - so Belgian portrait right does not apply. Belgian copyright is at stake here - you will have to ask the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. But I'm sure they will think it such a good joke to make a Wikipedia article about this street that obtaining their permission will not be very difficult.

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 19:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Your nomination gives no reason to delete the article besides that it "is a disgrace to Wikipedia." Those pictures of Cotthem establish that it does indeed exist, and if it's large enough to support 2 restaurants and 2 pubs, then it ought to be kept. Your pictures also establish the history of Cotthem, and you seem to know about the area. Why not add to the article? [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Please realize that this is not an "area". It is a STREET running through green fields and an artificial wood. It does not "support" these pubs and restaurants, people from elsewhere come there (wonderful place to walk and cycle) to drink and eat. Just look up Cotthem 1 and then Cotthem 6 and Cotthem 9 in www.mappy.be (6 and 9 are the two pubs by the way) and you will see how far away houses are from each other. Basically it is a very quiet place which explains why people like to have a pint or a meal there. I did not know much about the street, I just looked on the website of the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. And I happen to understand the captions which appear when you hold your mouse on these pictures. And no, I am not going to add to an article which claims this is a city of more than 30,000 inhabitants, when every Belgian would find it a joke if it was in the Dutch-speaking Wikipedia - and we tend to put hamlets there which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This street is not Wall Street. And no, I do not live there either (in case you are starting to think I am a nimby and want to keep it quiet). So my basic argument is: if you make an article about this street, you will have to make one about half of the streets in Belgium. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]---pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::'''Comment''' That argument is not valid, you do not have to make articles about everything of comparable notability just because one exists. You still haven't provided a reason to delete the article beyond "it is a disgrace" and "this is a street," both of which are not reasons to delete an article. I still have seen no evidence beyond your claims that suggest that this is anything other than a town. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry, but you are defending articles about things you know nothing about, as has been shown before. You and your friends only started to look at what Gotem really is and introduce that into the article after the AfD was filed, even though you had had two years of looking into it before, but just couldn't be bothered. Now you are trying to do the same all over again here, and will probably on Eiland and Polfbroekstraat as well. While Gotem was, luckily for you, an existing, though small, village (even though it had nothing to do with the original nonsense article), you don't have such an easy escape here. Take a look at this [http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?isAvoidFrontiers=false&isFavoriseAutoroute=false&isAvoidPeage=false&isAvoidVignette=false&isAvoidLNR=false&strTypeStep=0&strVehicle=0&reinit=1&strStartAddress=&strStartCP=&strStartCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strStartCityCountry=311&strDestAddress=kottem&strDestCP=&strDestCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strDestCityCountry=311&image2.x=17&image2.y=18 ViaMichelin page], and click on the map to have a better look. You can see that Kottem, Polfbroek, and Eiland, are three streets around the market of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. These are thoroughly non-notable and have no reason at all to be included in Wikipedia. If one of them has even one interesting, encyclopedic fact about them, add it to the main article about Sint-Lievens-Houtem.
::::My question to you and The Raven is still standing: why did you bother creating, modifying, and defending articles about places you know actually nothing about and had no idea about their importance, notability, or whatever? Was the only reason that they somehow turned up in your search for words similar to Got'em and Caught'em (probably the "first battle of Gotem", since the recent one is described as the second one)? I don't mind that this all started as a joke, but it has grown very, very stale, and the little bit of respect you as a group gained by correcting finally the Gotem article is rapidly disapearing again. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 05:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::'''Comment''' Frankly this is irrelevant, although I could take the time to answer this question, it has no value in this discussion. The point is an article was created about Kottem, and some of us believe it is a town, the others a street. The latter group vehemently advocate deletion, while the former group attempt to fix the article and make it truthful/verfiable. I have yet to see any usefull contribution to this article from those who advocate its deletion, while (surprisingly enough) they present such contributions only on these 'votes for deletion' pages. If I were to make an analogy, we are a group of workers attempting to erect a building, while a crowd of jeering kids shouts at us with insults and various demoralizing statements from below.

:That something exists is no reason to have it in an encyclopedia. It has to be notable. It is not. An article has to be possible that is more than a stub. It is not. If (a big if) anything of encyclopedic importance can be said about the street, add it to the Sint-Lievens-Houtem article.
::Untrue, an article need never become more than a stub. Many articles can't become more than a stub but are still notable. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 05:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::No, you are wrong. See e.g. [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents]: "City streets are contested, but minor streets are not generally notable". If you can only make a stub from a street, then it is not notable. Furthermore, the current article lists nothing about this street that is true. Even worse, there is no street with this name, it is a typo in some database. I have not seen one textbased article (i.e. not a map) which says anything about this city or street, so why should I assume it exists and has any notability? Find me some information that shows it has notability and enough can be said about it to have an article about it. Until then, "Delete" is the only possible vote.

Hi just wanted to let you know that some articles were written far ago and such articles deserve a bit of respect, especially those concerning disputes like the supposed Dutch-French dispute in Belgium...
So we would be happy to see you contributing in such articles but be careful that what you remove is really superfluous.

Furthermore, I did add the hockey clubs, so I'll put them back as I see it as part of the Belgian life but I admit it is no crucial info. Thanx for your understanding and don't blame me for my "weird sentences" like you said. Happy edits, [[User:Julien Tuerlinckx|Julien Tuerlinckx]] 14:28, 11 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi Fram,
I saw [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Franco-Belgian_comics&curid=87391&diff=28491011&oldid=28419414 the text you reverted] on this article. There is indeed intersting content. I asked [[User:Mjolnir1984]], who I suppose has written it to reformat it and spread it on the right pages. He's trying to add his content since a month ago, without real success. If this content is back again, I propose to not revert it but to help him around with it. [[User:Lvr|Lvr]] 14:28, 16 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi! {{cl|Angoulême International Comics Festival}} has too many stubs that can never be expanded. Stubs can attract vandalism. Are you sure all those articles are notable? Also, if they are, why not merge them into five or ten longer articles? Cheers, --[[User:unforgettableid|unforgettableid]] | [[User_talk:unforgettableid|talk to me]] 13:24, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

:I think one of the problems is that I often forget to remove the 'stub' indication when an article is finished (although still short).
:I compared the Angoulême articles to the Grammy articles, and noticed that they are fairly similar: some of the categories are large, with many notable artists, and a long history, while other are very short, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Hawaiian Music Album]], and/or finished, like the [[Grammy Award for Best Jazz Fusion Performance]].
:As the Angoulême awards are in their field (European comics) equally important as the Grammies are for (American) music, I think it is logical to have a similar structure. I had already combined some awards with similar names or targets, and probable some others that are now divided could be combined as well, but as a whole, I feel they are necessary.
:The French Wikipedia has taken another approach, with one article for every year the festival is held (i.e. 33 articles and counting), plus separate articles for many major awards (I count at least 16 of those). As I felt that this was a bit too much, I only made articles for the awards.
:I think that the information given in those articles should at least be kept, but if you have ideas how best to merge some of the awards without losing the overview, you're more than welcome to either present the ideas or make the new (merged) articles. I feel it would be a pity to delete any info though.
:By the way, I'm now up to 1989 in my scanning of the awards presented, and I have no idea how many more award categories I'll have to add. I think I have most, but I know of at least 4 more to come.
[[User:Fram|Fram]] 13:59, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

::I have created an article (Media awards) that covers four previous awards and two I still had to add, and have created redirects from the four previous awards (perhaps they can be deleted, I don't know). This slightly decreases the number of articles and stubs in the category. I hope this is a first step to what you had in mind? There are probably a few others I can give the same treatment, but there will probably be a few others I still have to add, so no promises as to how many articles will stay in the end... [[User:Fram|Fram]] 15:03, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

==Mechelen==
Good idea this 'Famous inhabitants' section for '[[Mechelen]]', Fram. Perhaps I'll mention ''Jef Denyn'' elsewhere in the article. There are a few more:
Josephine Leemans-Verbustel, better known as the singer ''Jo Leemans'', ''Marc Uytterhoeven'' and abouth 20% or so of the people that we knew to work at or with the single official Flemish TV (historically NIR/BRT/VRT) in the last 50 years (journalists, presenters, actors of the Mechels Miniatuurtheater [e.g. the once so popular series "De collega's"],...). A number of famous national politicians like ''Antoon Spinoy'' (after whom the Cultural Centre in Mechelen is named), ''Jef Ramaekers'', ''Jos De Saeger'', the first of the Flemish government who let himself be ''called'' minister-''president'': ''Luc Van den Brande'',...
All the archbishops since the 16th century (this should be easy: you might put the list in an article and link to it - I'm not too sure about ''Mercier'' though: he preferred to stay closer to the royal family and thus split the title of Mechelen to Mechelen-Brussels; still only Mechelen can have had his official address).
The list of historical figures will get longer too, and it includes a few famous catholic missionaries, in fact many because the city housed the Seminary where so many lived during their education to priesthood.
If you really want to do this, I wish you good luck and a lot of patience; start by setting precise delimiters (for instance: reasonably well known at least in the whole Region of Flanders and/or a standard of importance for the more specific branches, mentioning exclusion of seminarists and the military in one of the three former caserns - especially since all Belgian military administrative personnel trainees stayed in one - who may have had an official address elsewhere) - the result would certainly interest me. In case you might find the job a bit bigger than expected, I would suggest completely removing the section so as not to hurt people's feelings for being left out, and to avoid disputes with their fans. You made a good start: I was rather surprised about a few names; please, prove that ''it can be done''. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:45 (UTC)

P.S. Should you continue and come across good stuff, check whether the person's current Wikipedia article can use the extra information or create the person's article - don't let fine work get lost. -- [[User:83.182.60.42|83.182.60.42]] 2006-05-29 21:59 (UTC)

: Thanks! I have started with those people that have a Wikipedia article (on the English language Wikipedia, that is) where it is mentioned that they lived (were born, died, ...) in Mechelen. I did indeed leave out those people that studied in Mechelen, and I left out a few that I thought weren't famous enough for an international encyclopedia. I probably should have included Jef Denyn though.
I'm just doing this for all Flemish villages and cities (and probably the Wallon ones and the Dutch ones afterwards): check out if there are any Wikipedia articles that mention an inhabitant of the village, and if they are reasonably well known, I include them as "famous inhabitants". I will try to do this on a regular basis, to catch the additions, but I'll not try to find "missing" (from the encyclopedia) persons normally. I have finished West and East Flanders and Antwerp now, and will start on Limburg next.
: And indeed, there is a risk that some people will feel left out, but that is always a tough task, drawing a line. I don't mind at all if people would add their own favourites, as long as they are reasonably notable (i.e. may be known outside Flanders at least). [[User:Fram|Fram]] 07:15, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

In response to your statement on [[User:Crzrussian|Crazy Russian]]'s talk page:
It seems you have some knowledge about the City/Town/Hamlet/Vicinity of Gotem,Belgium.
Then why not put this knowledge to use and add it to the article?
You say it is nonsense, but you yourself admit this town does exist.
Furthermore, as you pointed out it IS in the dutch wikipedia, then why shouldnt it be here?
And if you think some of my information is nonsense, feel free to edit it. I have stated this many times.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 22:04, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

:In response to your statement : Yes you are right, these towns (rural) lack significant urban development, thats why the population figure is taken within a certain radius (as you can see from the website, of course). Perhaps the original version of the article gave a mistaken impression of the population density near Gotem, but I believe this has been now corrected. Indeed, I see that [[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] has added some more information that makes Gotem quite a notable hamlet (at least the one in Limburg). However, I'm afraid I don't understand your position: you come across an article, you think its nonsense, you do some research and you find out that some of the infromation on the article is (in your opinion) inaccurate. Then you proceed to speedy-delete the page and later AfD instead of just correcting the information. Why do such a thing? Just edit the damn page so its correct and be done with it.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 21:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::Thanks for acknowledging at least part of your errors, although I feel that you still try to pretend that you did something good when you only produced rubbish ealier. I speedy deleted (or rather proposed them for it, I can't delete anything) them when they were nonsense articles. I AfD'ed when they contained a minimum of verifiable content, and a lot of rubbish otherwise. Only then have you and your buddies started upgrading the article, removing all the errors I pointed out. Gotem can stay, perhaps, although I still don't see why it can't be just included as a section in the Borgloon article. Polfbroekstraat, Eiland, and Oordegemsestraat, and the Project, are still complete nonsense, and the first three have no chance of becoming anything else. As for the population numbers and the website: as you have seen on the Gotem discussion, but still seem to ignore: this is pure rubbish. When you have a small village near a larger city, you don't include the population numbers of that city into the population of your village, and you don't claim that some hamlet like Eiland is in fact one of the largest cities of East Flanders. This is plain and simple bullshit. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 21:25, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
:::Satellite data shows that [[Gotem]], which we define as 50° 47' 60" N, 5° 17' 60" E and the area 7km around it, does not include any visible areas of dense population (which would be denoted by a solid yellow, as in your Glenwood Heights example). See my arguments [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem|here]] I acknowledge that Fallingrain is imperfect in certain cases, but that it is actually quite useful in this case. I have no position on [[Polfbroekstraat]], [[Eiland]], or [[Oordegemsestraat]] (doesn't 'straat' mean street?).

How did you come across the [[Gotem]] page anyway??? --[[User:Charlesxavier|Charlesxavier]] 21:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Look at the scale of that map. Borgloon is 3 km away, Sint-Truiden is 9 km, etcetera.

Those make up the bulk of the 20,000 inhabitants and are the true population centres: Gotem is a speck of a few streets next to the larger Borgloon. So Fallingrain is not useful in this case (what did you base that one), as once again it gives a very small village in the neighbourhood of larger ones.

Hi, many thanks for your explanation.

Four of the articles you named were deleted by me (two as obvious nonsense), however it would seem that all except [[Oordegemsestraat]] have been recreated. While I agree that at least some of the articles are hoaxes, I will stay out of the debate at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gotem]] for now. Also, I won't speedy delete the articles again (it would seem that they would only be recreated anyway), as rather than speedying twice when some editors seem to be expressing concern, I think it's best if the issue is settled via AfD. This may or may not require nominating all the articles for deletion; feel free to tag them if you wish – [[User:Gurch|Gurch]] 18:50, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

:Fram, I finally finished the deletion article for Polfbroekstraat. Will you do Eiland?

Hi,

I received a notification of your Request for Mediation. I am a little confused by it though, as I am not aware of any dispute that I have with you or anyone in the list of involved parties (although I am, of course, familiar with the situation over Gotem/Kottem/Eiland and whatever else). If you feel that there is a dispute between the two of us, I would be glad to discuss it with you. However, at the moment, I don't understand the need for mediation and I'm inclined to disagree with the request.

578: /* Kottem */

===[[Kottem]]===
This article is a disgrace to Wikipedia.

In fact there is a hamlet in [[Sint-Lievens-Houtem]] called Cotthem. No more than a circular road boarding on the Polbroek (which has also been turned into a metropolis as [[Polfbroekstraat]]). It was a hamlet of the village of Oombergen, which has been merged into Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Now, all that is already on the page of SLH. How can Sint-Lievens-Houtem, which has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, harbour a hamlet with 39,070 inhabitants?

Of course, I can provide pictures of this circular road (I happen to live in the neighbourhood - it is nice cycling there), but somehow I think that even a letter by the mayor of Sint-Lievens-Houtem is not going to convince those people (are there really four of them?) who are prepared to create a parallel universe.

What I write here also holds for Eiland and Polfbroekstraat (actually a misprint for Polbroek), of course: only relatively unimportant streets in Sint-Lievens-Houtem![[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]
pgp 19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following pictures show what a great metropolis Cotthem now is. Unfortunately, the only economic assets of Cotthem, two special beer pubs and two good but pricey restaurants are not shown here: [http://www.sint-lievens-houtem.be/cotthemwandeling/] The walk started in the centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so forget the first picture, which shows the church of SLH (not that it has much of a big apple feeling, by the way). If someone thinks this piece of the world needs mention in Wikipedia, because it is so peaceful there (one of the quietest places in East-Flanders) or because the Romans built part of Cotthem (the street, I mean), or because there is still a bridge over what used to be a tramway track long ago, go ahead ... [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 22:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Would it be allowed to use one of these pictures (the Roman soldier, for instance) in the article?
:::Luckily for you, it is not a Roman soldier, only a "momnument" (to point out that the Romans built a street here, and no they did not build this whole street, only a small part of it) - so Belgian portrait right does not apply. Belgian copyright is at stake here - you will have to ask the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem.

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 19:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Your nomination gives no reason to delete the article besides that it "is a disgrace to Wikipedia." Those pictures of Cotthem establish that it does indeed exist, and if it's large enough to support 2 restaurants and 2 pubs, then it ought to be kept. Your pictures also establish the history of Cotthem, and you seem to know about the area. Why not add to the article? [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Please realize that this is not an "area". It is a STREET running through green fields and an artificial wood. It does not "support" these pubs and restaurants, people from elsewhere come there (wonderful place to walk and cycle) to drink and eat. Just look up Cotthem 1 and then Cotthem 6 and Cotthem 9 in www.mappy.be (6 and 9 are the two pubs by the way) and you will see how far away houses are from each other. Basically it is a very quiet place which explains why people like to have a pint or a meal there. I did not know much about the street, I just looked on the website of the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. And I happen to understand the captions which appear when you hold your mouse on these pictures. And no, I am not going to add to an article which claims this is a city of more than 30,000 inhabitants, when every Belgian would find it a joke if it was in the Dutch-speaking Wikipedia - and we tend to put hamlets there which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This street is not Wall Street. And no, I do not live there either (in case you are starting to think I am a nimby and want to keep it quiet). So my basic argument is: if you make an article about this street, you will have to make one about half of the streets in Belgium. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]---pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::'''Comment''' That argument is not valid, you do not have to make articles about everything of comparable notability just because one exists.

You can see that Kottem, Polfbroek, and Eiland, are three streets around the market of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. These are thoroughly non-notable and have no reason at all to be included in Wikipedia. If one of them has even one interesting, encyclopedic fact about them, add it to the main article about Sint-Lievens-Houtem.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kottem

578: /* Kottem */

===[[Kottem]]===
This article is a disgrace to Wikipedia.

In fact there is a hamlet in [[Sint-Lievens-Houtem]] called Cotthem. No more than a circular road boarding on the Polbroek (which has also been turned into a metropolis as [[Polfbroekstraat]]). It was a hamlet of the village of Oombergen, which has been merged into Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Now, all that is already on the page of SLH. How can Sint-Lievens-Houtem, which has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, harbour a hamlet with 39,070 inhabitants?

Of course, I can provide pictures of this circular road (I happen to live in the neighbourhood - it is nice cycling there), but somehow I think that even a letter by the mayor of Sint-Lievens-Houtem is not going to convince those people (are there really four of them?) who are prepared to create a parallel universe.

What I write here also holds for Eiland and Polfbroekstraat (actually a misprint for Polbroek), of course: only relatively unimportant streets in Sint-Lievens-Houtem![[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]
pgp 19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following pictures show what a great metropolis Cotthem now is. Unfortunately, the only economic assets of Cotthem, two special beer pubs and two good but pricey restaurants are not shown here: [http://www.sint-lievens-houtem.be/cotthemwandeling/] The walk started in the centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so forget the first picture, which shows the church of SLH (not that it has much of a big apple feeling, by the way). If someone thinks this piece of the world needs mention in Wikipedia, because it is so peaceful there (one of the quietest places in East-Flanders) or because the Romans built part of Cotthem (the street, I mean), or because there is still a bridge over what used to be a tramway track long ago, go ahead ... [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 22:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Would it be allowed to use one of these pictures (the Roman soldier, for instance) in the article?
:::Luckily for you, it is not a Roman soldier, only a "momnument" (to point out that the Romans built a street here, and no they did not build this whole street, only a small part of it) - so Belgian portrait right does not apply. Belgian copyright is at stake here - you will have to ask the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem.

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 19:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Your nomination gives no reason to delete the article besides that it "is a disgrace to Wikipedia." Those pictures of Cotthem establish that it does indeed exist, and if it's large enough to support 2 restaurants and 2 pubs, then it ought to be kept. Your pictures also establish the history of Cotthem, and you seem to know about the area. Why not add to the article? [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Please realize that this is not an "area". It is a STREET running through green fields and an artificial wood. It does not "support" these pubs and restaurants, people from elsewhere come there (wonderful place to walk and cycle) to drink and eat. Just look up Cotthem 1 and then Cotthem 6 and Cotthem 9 in www.mappy.be (6 and 9 are the two pubs by the way) and you will see how far away houses are from each other. Basically it is a very quiet place which explains why people like to have a pint or a meal there. I did not know much about the street, I just looked on the website of the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. And I happen to understand the captions which appear when you hold your mouse on these pictures. And no, I am not going to add to an article which claims this is a city of more than 30,000 inhabitants, when every Belgian would find it a joke if it was in the Dutch-speaking Wikipedia - and we tend to put hamlets there which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This street is not Wall Street. And no, I do not live there either (in case you are starting to think I am a nimby and want to keep it quiet). So my basic argument is: if you make an article about this street, you will have to make one about half of the streets in Belgium. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]---pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::'''Comment''' That argument is not valid, you do not have to make articles about everything of comparable notability just because one exists.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kottem

2006-06-19T02:03:29Z

578: /* Kottem */

===[[Kottem]]===
This article is a disgrace to Wikipedia.

In fact there is a hamlet in [[Sint-Lievens-Houtem]] called Cotthem. No more than a circular road boarding on the Polbroek (which has also been turned into a metropolis as [[Polfbroekstraat]]). It was a hamlet of the village of Oombergen, which has been merged into Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Now, all that is already on the page of SLH. How can Sint-Lievens-Houtem, which has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, harbour a hamlet with 39,070 inhabitants?

Of course, I can provide pictures of this circular road (I happen to live in the neighbourhood - it is nice cycling there), but somehow I think that even a letter by the mayor of Sint-Lievens-Houtem is not going to convince those people (are there really four of them?) who are prepared to create a parallel universe.

What I write here also holds for Eiland and Polfbroekstraat (actually a misprint for Polbroek), of course: only relatively unimportant streets in Sint-Lievens-Houtem![[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]
pgp 19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following pictures show what a great metropolis Cotthem now is. Unfortunately, the only economic assets of Cotthem, two special beer pubs and two good but pricey restaurants are not shown here: [http://www.sint-lievens-houtem.be/cotthemwandeling/] The walk started in the centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so forget the first picture, which shows the church of SLH (not that it has much of a big apple feeling, by the way). If someone thinks this piece of the world needs mention in Wikipedia, because it is so peaceful there (one of the quietest places in East-Flanders) or because the Romans built part of Cotthem (the street, I mean), or because there is still a bridge over what used to be a tramway track long ago, go ahead ... [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 22:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Would it be allowed to use one of these pictures (the Roman soldier, for instance) in the article?
:::Luckily for you, it is not a Roman soldier, only a "momnument" (to point out that the Romans built a street here, and no they did not build this whole street, only a small part of it) - so Belgian portrait right does not apply. Belgian copyright is at stake here - you will have to ask the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. But I'm sure they will think it such a good joke to make a Wikipedia article about this street that obtaining their permission will not be very difficult. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, I figured it was probably a statue of a soldier, since there were no cameras in Ancient Rome/Belgium. I'll have to ask those folks about it. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 19:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Your nomination gives no reason to delete the article besides that it "is a disgrace to Wikipedia." Those pictures of Cotthem establish that it does indeed exist, and if it's large enough to support 2 restaurants and 2 pubs, then it ought to be kept. Your pictures also establish the history of Cotthem, and you seem to know about the area. Why not add to the article? [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Please realize that this is not an "area". It is a STREET running through green fields and an artificial wood. It does not "support" these pubs and restaurants, people from elsewhere come there (wonderful place to walk and cycle) to drink and eat. Just look up Cotthem 1 and then Cotthem 6 and Cotthem 9 in www.mappy.be (6 and 9 are the two pubs by the way) and you will see how far away houses are from each other. Basically it is a very quiet place which explains why people like to have a pint or a meal there. I did not know much about the street, I just looked on the website of the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. And I happen to understand the captions which appear when you hold your mouse on these pictures. And no, I am not going to add to an article which claims this is a city of more than 30,000 inhabitants, when every Belgian would find it a joke if it was in the Dutch-speaking Wikipedia - and we tend to put hamlets there which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This street is not Wall Street. And no, I do not live there either (in case you are starting to think I am a nimby and want to keep it quiet). So my basic argument is: if you make an article about this street, you will have to make one about half of the streets in Belgium. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]---pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::'''Comment''' That argument is not valid, you do not have to make articles about everything of comparable notability just because one exists. You still haven't provided a reason to delete the article beyond "it is a disgrace" and "this is a street," both of which are not reasons to delete an article. I still have seen no evidence beyond your claims that suggest that this is anything other than a town. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry, but you are defending articles about things you know nothing about, as has been shown before. You and your friends only started to look at what Gotem really is and introduce that into the article after the AfD was filed, even though you had had two years of looking into it before, but just couldn't be bothered. Now you are trying to do the same all over again here, and will probably on Eiland and Polfbroekstraat as well. While Gotem was, luckily for you, an existing, though small, village (even though it had nothing to do with the original nonsense article), you don't have such an easy escape here. Take a look at this [http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?isAvoidFrontiers=false&isFavoriseAutoroute=false&isAvoidPeage=false&isAvoidVignette=false&isAvoidLNR=false&strTypeStep=0&strVehicle=0&reinit=1&strStartAddress=&strStartCP=&strStartCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strStartCityCountry=311&strDestAddress=kottem&strDestCP=&strDestCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strDestCityCountry=311&image2.x=17&image2.y=18 ViaMichelin page], and click on the map to have a better look. You can see that Kottem, Polfbroek, and Eiland, are three streets around the market of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. These are thoroughly non-notable and have no reason at all to be included in Wikipedia. If one of them has even one interesting, encyclopedic fact about them, add it to the main article about Sint-Lievens-Houtem.
::::My question to you and The Raven is still standing: why did you bother creating, modifying, and defending articles about places you know actually nothing about and had no idea about their importance, notability, or whatever? Was the only reason that they somehow turned up in your search for words similar to Got'em and Caught'em (probably the "first battle of Gotem", since the recent one is described as the second one)? I don't mind that this all started as a joke, but it has grown very, very stale, and the little bit of respect you as a group gained by correcting finally the Gotem article is rapidly disapearing again. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 05:06, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::::'''Comment''' Frankly this is irrelevant, although I could take the time to answer this question, it has no value in this discussion. The point is an article was created about Kottem, and some of us believe it is a town, the others a street. The latter group vehemently advocate deletion, while the former group attempt to fix the article and make it truthful/verfiable. I have yet to see any usefull contribution to this article from those who advocate its deletion, while (surprisingly enough) they present such contributions only on these 'votes for deletion' pages. If I were to make an analogy, we are a group of workers attempting to erect a building, while a crowd of jeering kids shouts at us with insults and various demoralizing statements from below.

*'''Keep''' It exists. If its wrong fix it. What is there more to talk about? It would be nice if you could provide pictures though.--[[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 03:50, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:That something exists is no reason to have it in an encyclopedia. It has to be notable. It is not. An article has to be possible that is more than a stub. It is not. If (a big if) anything of encyclopedic importance can be said about the street, add it to the Sint-Lievens-Houtem article.
::Untrue, an article need never become more than a stub. Many articles can't become more than a stub but are still notable. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 05:07, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::No, you are wrong. See e.g. [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents]: "City streets are contested, but minor streets are not generally notable". If you can only make a stub from a street, then it is not notable. Furthermore, the current article lists nothing about this street that is true. Even worse, there is no street with this name, it is a typo in some database. I have not seen one textbased article (i.e. not a map) which says anything about this city or street, so why should I assume it exists and has any notability? Find me some information that shows it has notability and enough can be said about it to have an article about it. Until then, "Delete" is the only possible vote.
:::: Beyond doubt it is notable, as [[User:Pan_Gerwazy]] has shown (in this very discussion!). If its a street then simply change the article. [[User:The Raven|The Raven]] 01:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

OGame

2006-06-19T02:01:08Z

578: When its june 24 then we can rewirte this section.

'''OGame''' is a management-type online [[web browser|browser]] game with over two million gaming accounts worldwide.

According to the OGame story, in the year [[2250]], man began to [[colonize]] other planets in the [[Universe]] after the invention of "impulse engines," engines that achieve [[speed of light|light speed]]. The increases in scientific technology helped man achieve a new era of ''[[peace|pax]]''. The peace ended, though, when a rare element, "Xentronium", was discovered, described as having "the power of 10,000 [[terran]] [[star|suns]] per micro[[gram]]". The desire for this element caused strife between the human organizations, and war ensued. The war ultimately ended when an "omega bomb," the future equivalent of a [[nuclear weapon]], was used, wiping out much of what had been built. The game is supposed to take place after these events, trying to rebuild man's lost interstellar civilization.

==Gameplay==
[[Image:Ogame screenshot.png|thumb|right|200px|A screenshot from OGame.]]
OGame's system is based on real-time; that is, the timing is based on actual time, not an internal time system. This system sets OGame apart from other [[real time strategy|RTS]] games. Since it is a free browser based game, the [[graphics]] are minimal and [[glitch]]es are reported from time to time.

===OGame in various languages/domains===

Because OGame's native language is [[German language|German]], the [http://ogame.de German version] has been around longer and has more players than any other version. The other translations of the game are newer and thus have less users - a fact that is represented by the number of universes running. As of January [[2006]], OGame.org (the English version of the game) reported breaking the [http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?threadid=69892 100,000 user threshold]. Then in February [[2006]] OGame went on to pass the [http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?threadid=80594 2 million users landmark internationally]

The table below shows all of the OGame translations and is accurate as of [[June 15, 2006]].

===Alliances===
An [[alliance]] is a group of people who have banded together, like a [[guild]] or [[Clan (computer gaming)|clan]]. Alliances are mostly used for solidarity purposes. Currently, as most of the universe are under OGame version .73d, alliances can do little tactically; however, an ACS combat system, a system allowing an alliance's members to station their fleets at another member's planet, has been added to the English OGame in universes five, eighteen, nineteen and twenty. The ACS system has been also aded on all universes of Polish and Portuguese OGame.

Alliances often protect each other from attacks and promote free trade amongst members. An alliance page in OGame is divided into several parts:

*Rank: Your rank or status within the alliance.
*Members: the number of people in the alliance.
*External text appears to everybody who visits the alliance page, member or not. It is typically used for general announcements.
*Internal text only appears to members of the alliance. Announcements of a more discretionary nature usually go here.
*Alliance homepage, if any, is the link to that particular alliance's homepage.

Depending on a player's rank, he/she may send circular mails to their alliance, view and reject/accept applications, adjust the status of other members, adjust the example application text, create new ranks, set a new alliance logo/homepage, rename the clan, hand over leadership status, or even disband the alliance all together.

===Points===
[[score|Point]]s are used, for the most part, to rank players, which factors into the ranking of alliances. One point is awarded for every thousand resource units you spend; likewise one point is taken away for every thousand resource units you lose. Additionally, you gain one point for every ship you build and every research level you gain. Primarily, points are gained from mining, raiding, research and shipbuilding, but they are lost from being raided and surrendering colonies.

===Resources===
There are three resources available in OGame: [[metal]], [[crystal]], and [[deuterium]]. Raw metal is the most abundant resource, and is used in large amounts in everything from planetary structures to building ships to research. Crystal is also used for structures, but is used in excess in research. Deuterium is mainly used as [[fuel]] for the player's fleet. These resources are procured through two main methods; using a fleet to raid other players' planets, or peacefully mining one's own planet(s). Due to the relatively slow nature of mining, the more common form of resource acquisition is through raiding.

Later on in the game, one option for large players is to "[[Fleet crash]]" smaller opponents, destroying their entire fleet, and recycling the resulting debris (only metal and crystal can be obtained this way).

===Buildings===
Buildings are used for gathering resources (Mines), for energy (Solar Plant and Fusion Reactor), for storage (Metal Storage, Crystal Storage and Deuterium Tank), for building your fleet and defense (Ship yards), for research (Research Lab), for shortening the time buildings, ships and defenses take to construct (Robotic Factory and Nanite Factory), or for creating and storing missiles (Rocket Silo). Buildings in OGame are different from buildings in many games in several ways. First, you do not place them, you "build" that structure type and then you upgrade it. Second, is that there are, for all intents and purposes, an infinite number of upgrades (level 1, level 2, etc.). The cost of resources double each level of upgrade, except for metal mines, crystal mines, deuterium synthesizers, solar plants, and fusion plants.

Each building takes up a "field" on a planet, and each new level takes up a new field. When the fields of the planet are full, no new buildings can be built, unless a terraformer is constructed, providing more fields for each level of the terraformer.

===Ships===
OGame is mainly known for being a combat game, so a fleet is of the utmost importance. Players with larger fleets often [[fleet crash]] players with smaller fleets, with no repercussions. Building obscenely large fleets is often stated as the key to dominating tes, Recyclers for picking up the debris from a [[fleet crash]], colony ships that build colonies on unoccupied planet slots and solar satellites that generate the ever so necessary energy for planetary needs. The amount of energy produced from solar satellites varies, depending on the position of the planet in the solar system (planet #1 producing the most energy and planet #15 the least).

===Defense===
As opposed to building massive amounts of ships, there are few advantages to being purely defensive. If destroyed, there's no chance of recovering the lost resources with recyclers or an equivalent of fleet saving. One advantage is that there is a 70% chance that defensive structures will be rebuilt if they are destroyed in battle. This 70% is chance computed on every single structure that will decide if that specific structure will be repaired or not.

However, if the defense is destroyed by interplanetary missiles, it will not be repaired. To protect your defenses, you must build Anti-Ballistic missile (ABMs), which require a missile silo of level 2. Each Interplanetary missile fired at your planet can be taken down by your Anti-Ballistic missiles (ABMs, at a 1 to 1 Ratio.

A good Defense is generally a good and worthwhile thing to have, and if it is strong enough it will scare away even the strongest of enemys.

===Rules===
The Game is policed by Game Operators, Super Game Operators and Game Administrators. One of the main rules is that each player can only own one account per ogame universe. Owning more than one Account in any single Universe and there Accounts will be Banned permanently by a Games Operator (GO). Also each Account can only be played by one person only. If a single account is played by more than one person then this is Account Sharing and this will also lead to a Permanent Ban of the Account by a GO. The rules for ogame.org can be found here - http://board.ogame.org/thread.php?threadid=57

===Terminology===

===Spaceflight===
Unlike many other games in [[Real-time strategy|Ogame's genre]], Ogame does not give you direct control of your [[spacecraft]]. Instead, you tell your ship(s) where to fly (using the game's [[coordinate]] system) and what to do when they get there, and a timer will appear on your overview page showing you your fleet's ETA (estimated time of arrival at destination and arrival back to the dispatching planet). Your fleet cannot be attacked while on a mission, but only when it is at a certain planet. Fleet movements cannot be monitored by other players unless one has built a sensor phalanx (these can only be constructed on moons). There are seven types of missions that can be performed by ships in OGame (not all ships can perform all actions):

====Transport====
A [[transport]] mission is a mission in which a ship (usually a large or small cargo ship) is dispatched to another planet with the express purpose of delivering resources to that planet. There are no restrictions on what type of ship may perform this action. Also, you may transport goods to ''any'' planet whose coordinates you know (unless the planet is on your own IP, and not your account).

====Attack====
Atttacking involves sending your fleet to attack another planet. There are two normal reasons for doing this: The first is [[Commando|raiding]]; if you win the resulting battle, you will capture up to half of the defender's resources, as long as your ships have sufficient cargo space. The second reason is to destroy another person's fleet. It is important to note that, unless war has been declared, attacking someone more than three times in 24 [[hours]] is considered "bashing" and is a bannable offense. Nevertheless, a planet can be attacked up to nine times in a 24 hour period if "waves" are launched. A complete attack consists of three fleets, "waves", that arrive at the target within 30 minutes of each other. Three wave attacks within 24 hours is that maximum that may be launched against one planet. You can attack someone up to 9 times a day (3 waves) as there is no time limit between the wave attacks. If one alliance has declared war on another as outlined in the Ogame rules, then the bashing rule is suspended between members of those two alliances - members of one may attack members of the other as many times as they wish without penalty. If war is declared by one alliance then it does not have to be acknowladged by the other alliance for this rule to take effect.

====Espionage====
For [[espionage]] missions, the dispatched probes, once they reach the destination, scan the target planet and determine resources, defences, fleets, buildings, and researches on that planet (only resources are available at start, you must have either higher espionage tech or more than 1 probe to receive any more than that). The formula of espionage is simple, The difference of the espionage technology of you and your target squared (multiplied by -1 if your espionage technology is inferior to the target.) and added to the number of probes you send. If the number is lower than 2, you get only information of resources, if the number is 2, you get the information about their fleets, if the number is 3~4, you get the information about their defences, 5~6 gives you information about buildings and 7 or above finally tells you about the research levels. For example, if I have an espionage level of 4 and I spy on a player with an espionage level of 5, I need to send 6 probes in order to obtain the information about the defences. Only the Espionage Probe is capable of performing this action. The more probes you send, the more information you receive but the higher the chance that you can be caught. When a probe is caught it is destroyed, and its remnants are left as a debris field.

Knowing the defences is important, but knowing the buildings status is far more important because you can then plan for the next probing time!

====Colonization====
[[Colonization]] is usually a one way trip. A colony ship is sent out to colonize an uninhabited planet. The colony ship is destroyed after the colonization, so if one decides that the planet is unfit after colonization and forfeits the colony, the colony ship does not come back.

If you send any resources with the colony ship they will be lost in the process, so you have to wait until after the colony is created and then send another fleet with resources to help it build up. If you have fleets acompanying your colony ship, they will return to the original start place.

The number of fields on a new planet is random but somewhat dependent on the position of the planet in the solarsystem, planets 4-6 being the largest, on average. The position of the planet in the solar system (1-15) also determines another factor. The colder a planet is (the further away from the sun it is), the more deuterium is produced by its deuterium synthesiser. The warmer a planet is (the nearer it is to the sun), the more energy solar satellites will produce.

How to colonize a planet:
First, go onto galaxy and find a slot that has a number but no picture of a planet.
Memorize the co-ordinates, then send a colony ship to that planet. Soon, you will have a new planet under your command.

It is a good idea to only colonize when you feel you're strong enough to protect both planets. Also, pick a planet near to you so that it takes a shorter period of time to move ships or resources there.

On the other hand, placing your planets near each other makes it easier for an attacker to attack all your planets, without having to find the locations of each one, so it is best to get a planet near to you, but still, quite far.

====Harvesting====
The [[harvesting]] action is performed by the Recycler. The recycler is dispatched to a debris field (the material legacy of a particularly large battle, exactly a third of the resources used to construct the destroyed ships) where it gathers up the recyclable [[debris]] and transports it to its dispatching planet. The amount of debris is aproximately two thirds of the amounts of metal and crystal it took to build the ships that were destroyed, however any deuterium used to make those ships is lost. However, only recyclers can hold the debris, so sending other ships (such as Large Cargo ships) in hopes of getting more of the debris field (if applicable) will be pointless, as they will be unable to pick up the debris. Debris fields consist of metal and crystal only, not deuterium.

To recycle debris simply choose some recyclers, enter the coordinates, remembering to change destination to DF (debris field) and then send. ''With OGame Commander, you can simply go to the galaxy view, and if there is a debris field, move the mouse over it and click the harvest button.''

====Deployment====
[[Deployment]] is the redeploying of ship(s) to another planet. All ships may perform this action, but it can only be performed on planets owned by the deploying player. The overview page used to show that the ship(s) will be making a return trip, even though they wouldn't, but this bug has now been fixed.

====Destroying Moons====
This can only be performed by Death Stars. The outcome of the mission will vary:
# nothing happens
# the moon is destroyed
# the Death Star(s) is/are destroyed
# the moon and Death Star(s) is/are destroyed
# if there is a fleet stationed at the moon, the opposing forces will have a normal fight and, presuming there is at least one remaining death star attacking, the result will be any outcome from 1-4

The outcome will vary on the number of Death Stars performing this mission, and the size of the moon.
The formula for the destruction of a moon is:
(100 - squareroot(moonsize)) * (squareroot(number of deathstars)).

However, at the same time, the chance that the deathstar(s) and all accompanying ships are destroyed is:
(squareroot(Moonsize))/2

Moons can be destroyed, but Planets cannot be destroyed by other players, only surrendered by the account owner unless they are home planets which means they can only be destroyed if the player deletes their account.

====Fleet saving====
Fleet saving is a common strategy where a player will send their fleet away from their planet just before it is attacked. While this may seem foolish at first, it makes a lot of sense if the fleet that's attacking you is much too strong for your defenses. By sending your fleet away (Preferably sending all your resources with it), you can minimize your losses. After the attack is over, the player simply calls the fleet that was saved back to the base.

Another use for fleetsaving is overnight fleetsaving. This is where a player sends their fleet out to a debris field using recyclers and cargo ships with all their resources so that if someone attacks, only the resources generated from that day can be stolen. By sending recyclers to far away debris fields, accurate return times can be made.

The point of fleetsaving is to prevent other players from destroying your fleet and stealing your saved resource while you are asleep or away from your computer. Because fleets can be seen traveling between two planets on a sensor phalanx, the safest way to fleet save is to do so from a moon to a an invisible debris field (any time an inactive is attacked an invisible df is automatically created). Another safe way to fleet save when you don’t have a moon is to deploy to a in system planet and then be online before your fleet lands. This way if someone has you under phalanx you can easily recall (recalled deploy missions can not be seen on a phalanx)

==Different versions==

Game tester

2006-06-19T01:56:34Z

578: rvv

The role of the evil monkey in [[game development]] primarily involves analyzing [[video game|video]] and/or [[computer game]]s to document [[computer bug|software defect]]s as part of a [[quality control]] process. While popularized as a dream job for [[gamer]]s, interactive entertainment software testing is a highly technical field requiring [[computing]] expertise, analytic competence, [[thick skin]], and the ability to endure long hours.

==Description==
Modern video and computer games take from one to three years to develop (depending on scale). Testing begins late in the development process, sometimes from halfway to 75% into development (it starts so late because, until then, there is little to nothing to test). Testers get new builds from the [[game programmer|developers]] on a schedule (daily/weekly) and each version must be uniquely identified in order to map errors to versions.

Once the testers get a version, they begin playing the game. Testers must carefully note any errors they uncover. These may range from bugs to art glitches to logic errors and [[Level (computer and video games)|level]] bugs. Some bugs are easy to document ("Level 5a has a floor tile missing in the opening room"), but many are hard to describe and may take several paragraphs to describe so a developer can replicate or find the bug. On a large-scale game with numerous testers, a tester must first determine whether the bug has already been reported before they can log the bugs themselves. Once a bug has been reported as fixed, the tester has to go back and verify the fix works.

This type of "playing" is tedious and grueling. Usually an unfinished game is ''not'' fun to play, especially over and over. A tester may play the same game—or even the same level in a game—over and over for eight hours or more at a time. If testing feature fixes, the tester may have to repeat a large number of sequences just to get to one spot in the game. Understandably, burn-out is common in this field and many use the position just as a means to get a different job in game development. For this reason, game testing is widely considered a "stepping stone" position. This type of job may be taken by college students as a way to audit the [[video game industry|industry]] and determine if it is the type of environment in which they wish to work professionally.

In software development quality assurance, it is common practice to go back through a feature set and ensure that features that once worked still work near the end of development. This kind of aggressive quality assurance—called regression testing—is most difficult for games with a large feature set. If a new bug is discovered in a feature that used to work, once it is fixed, regression testing has to take place ''again''.

Game testing becomes grueling as deadlines loom. Most games go into what is called "crunch time" near deadlines—developers ([[game programmer|programmers]], [[game artist|artists]], [[game designer]]s and [[game producer|producers]]) work twelve to fourteen hours a day and the testers must be right there with them, testing late-added features and content.

Many [[video game console|console]] manufacturers, such as [[Nintendo]], require [[videotape]]s of gameplay in order to agree to publish a game. The manufacturer can then agree to manufacture the game or refuse (refusal normally requires fixes before they'll publish a game). Creation of these videotapes of flawless play usually falls on the shoulders of testers since they have the most experience with the games. This can be a gruelling process since one slip-up in gameplay can cost hours of videotaping to be wasted.

==Responsibility==
In the early days of computer and video games, the [[video game developer|developer]] was in charge of all the testing. Since most games were so limited in scope, this was easy and usually required no more than one or two testers. In some cases, the programmer themselves could handle all of the testing.

As games have become more complex, a larger pool of QA resources is necessary. This being the case, most [[video game publisher|publishers]] have a large QA staff that they have testing various games from different developers.

Usually one group of testers will work on the same game from the beginning of the QA process to the time the game ships (goes "gold"). Thus, they become experts at the game and become familiar with all its nuances and weaknesses. Normally a group of testers will work on from one to two games at a time, depending on each game's scale. As one game nears completion, they may focus more time on it as the QA requirements escalate. Near the end of development, the QA staff may relocate to the development location in order to provide intensive QA work and be easily accessible to developers.

Despite the large QA infrastructure most publishers have, many developers will retain a small group of testers to provide on-the-spot QA from time to time.

==Compensation==
Despite the job's difficulty, game testing doesn't pay a great deal and is usually paid hourly (around [[United States dollar|USD]]$9 - $12 an hour). Testing management is usually more lucrative, but this type of job usually requires years of experience and some type of college degree. For this reason, as mentioned earlier, most game testing jobs are taken as "foot in the door" positions, used as a stepping stone for more lucrative lines of work in game development.

Some employers offer bonuses for the number of bugs a tester finds. While this approach may seem initially reasonable, sadly, it often quickly leads to testers reporting as bugs features they, personally, simply don't care for or to reporting features as bugs simply for the extra money.

==Popular culture==
The main characters in the [[2006 in film|2006]] film ''[[evil monkey strikes back]]'' worked as video game testers. The main game used in the movie, called ''Demonik'', was in reality developed by [[Terminal Reality]], but has been cancelled by the publisher.

578: /* Kottem */

===[[Kottem]]===
This article is a disgrace to Wikipedia.

In fact there is a hamlet in [[Sint-Lievens-Houtem]] called Cotthem. No more than a circular road boarding on the Polbroek (which has also been turned into a metropolis as [[Polfbroekstraat]]). It was a hamlet of the village of Oombergen, which has been merged into Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Now, all that is already on the page of SLH. How can Sint-Lievens-Houtem, which has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, harbour a hamlet with 39,070 inhabitants?

Of course, I can provide pictures of this circular road (I happen to live in the neighbourhood - it is nice cycling there), but somehow I think that even a letter by the mayor of Sint-Lievens-Houtem is not going to convince those people (are there really four of them?) who are prepared to create a parallel universe.

What I write here also holds for Eiland and Polfbroekstraat (actually a misprint for Polbroek), of course: only relatively unimportant streets in Sint-Lievens-Houtem![[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]
pgp 19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following pictures show what a great metropolis Cotthem now is. Unfortunately, the only economic assets of Cotthem, two special beer pubs and two good but pricey restaurants are not shown here: [http://www.sint-lievens-houtem.be/cotthemwandeling/] The walk started in the centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so forget the first picture, which shows the church of SLH (not that it has much of a big apple feeling, by the way). If someone thinks this piece of the world needs mention in Wikipedia, because it is so peaceful there (one of the quietest places in East-Flanders) or because the Romans built part of Cotthem (the street, I mean), or because there is still a bridge over what used to be a tramway track long ago, go ahead ... [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 22:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Would it be allowed to use one of these pictures (the Roman soldier, for instance) in the article?
:::Luckily for you, it is not a Roman soldier, only a "momnument" (to point out that the Romans built a street here, and no they did not build this whole street, only a small part of it) - so Belgian portrait right does not apply. Belgian copyright is at stake here - you will have to ask the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. But I'm sure they will think it such a good joke to make a Wikipedia article about this street that obtaining their permission will not be very difficult. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, I figured it was probably a statue of a soldier, since there were no cameras in Ancient Rome/Belgium. I'll have to ask those folks about it. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 19:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Your nomination gives no reason to delete the article besides that it "is a disgrace to Wikipedia." Those pictures of Cotthem establish that it does indeed exist, and if it's large enough to support 2 restaurants and 2 pubs, then it ought to be kept. Your pictures also establish the history of Cotthem, and you seem to know about the area. Why not add to the article? [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Please realize that this is not an "area". It is a STREET running through green fields and an artificial wood. It does not "support" these pubs and restaurants, people from elsewhere come there (wonderful place to walk and cycle) to drink and eat. Just look up Cotthem 1 and then Cotthem 6 and Cotthem 9 in www.mappy.be (6 and 9 are the two pubs by the way) and you will see how far away houses are from each other. Basically it is a very quiet place which explains why people like to have a pint or a meal there. I did not know much about the street, I just looked on the website of the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. And I happen to understand the captions which appear when you hold your mouse on these pictures. And no, I am not going to add to an article which claims this is a city of more than 30,000 inhabitants, when every Belgian would find it a joke if it was in the Dutch-speaking Wikipedia - and we tend to put hamlets there which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This street is not Wall Street. And no, I do not live there either (in case you are starting to think I am a nimby and want to keep it quiet). So my basic argument is: if you make an article about this street, you will have to make one about half of the streets in Belgium. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]---pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::'''Comment''' That argument is not valid, you do not have to make articles about everything of comparable notability just because one exists. You still haven't provided a reason to delete the article beyond "it is a disgrace" and "this is a street," both of which are not reasons to delete an article. I still have seen no evidence beyond your claims that suggest that this is anything other than a town. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::I'm sorry, but you are defending articles about things you know nothing about, as has been shown before. You and your friends only started to look at what Gotem really is and introduce that into the article after the AfD was filed, even though you had had two years of looking into it before, but just couldn't be bothered. Now you are trying to do the same all over again here, and will probably on Eiland and Polfbroekstraat as well. While Gotem was, luckily for you, an existing, though small, village (even though it had nothing to do with the original nonsense article), you don't have such an easy escape here. Take a look at this [http://www.viamichelin.com/viamichelin/gbr/dyn/controller/ItiWGPerformPage?isAvoidFrontiers=false&isFavoriseAutoroute=false&isAvoidPeage=false&isAvoidVignette=false&isAvoidLNR=false&strTypeStep=0&strVehicle=0&reinit=1&strStartAddress=&strStartCP=&strStartCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strStartCityCountry=311&strDestAddress=kottem&strDestCP=&strDestCity=sint-lievens-houtem&strDestCityCountry=311&image2.x=17&image2.y=18 ViaMichelin page], and click on the map to have a better look. You can see that Kottem, Polfbroek, and Eiland, are three streets around the market of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. These are thoroughly non-notable and have no reason at all to be included in Wikipedia. If one of them has even one interesting, encyclopedic fact about them, add it to the main article about Sint-Lievens-Houtem.
::::My question to you and The Raven is still standing: why did you bother creating, modifying, and defending articles about places you know actually nothing about and had no idea about their importance, notability, or whatever? Was the only reason that they somehow turned up in your search for words similar to Got'em and Caught'em (probably the "first battle of Gotem", since the recent one is described as the second one)? I don't mind that this all started as a joke, but it has grown very, very stale, and the little bit of respect you as a group gained by correcting finally the Gotem article is rapidly disapearing again.

:::::'''Comment''' Frankly this is irrelevant, although I could take the time to answer this question, it has no value in this discussion.

I have yet to see any usefull contribution to this article from those who advocate its deletion, while (surprisingly enough) they present such contributions only on these 'votes for deletion' pages.

Even worse, there is no street with this name, it is a typo in some database. I have not seen one textbased article (i.e. not a map) which says anything about this city or street, so why should I assume it exists and has any notability? Find me some information that shows it has notability and enough can be said about it to have an article about it. Until then, "Delete" is the only possible vote.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kottem

578: /* Kottem */

===[[Kottem]]===
This article is a disgrace to Wikipedia.

In fact there is a hamlet in [[Sint-Lievens-Houtem]] called Cotthem. No more than a circular road boarding on the Polbroek (which has also been turned into a metropolis as [[Polfbroekstraat]]). It was a hamlet of the village of Oombergen, which has been merged into Sint-Lievens-Houtem. Now, all that is already on the page of SLH. How can Sint-Lievens-Houtem, which has fewer than 10,000 inhabitants, harbour a hamlet with 39,070 inhabitants?

Of course, I can provide pictures of this circular road (I happen to live in the neighbourhood - it is nice cycling there), but somehow I think that even a letter by the mayor of Sint-Lievens-Houtem is not going to convince those people (are there really four of them?) who are prepared to create a parallel universe.

What I write here also holds for Eiland and Polfbroekstraat (actually a misprint for Polbroek), of course: only relatively unimportant streets in Sint-Lievens-Houtem![[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]
pgp 19:39, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

:The following pictures show what a great metropolis Cotthem now is. Unfortunately, the only economic assets of Cotthem, two special beer pubs and two good but pricey restaurants are not shown here: [http://www.sint-lievens-houtem.be/cotthemwandeling/] The walk started in the centre of Sint-Lievens-Houtem, so forget the first picture, which shows the church of SLH (not that it has much of a big apple feeling, by the way). If someone thinks this piece of the world needs mention in Wikipedia, because it is so peaceful there (one of the quietest places in East-Flanders) or because the Romans built part of Cotthem (the street, I mean), or because there is still a bridge over what used to be a tramway track long ago, go ahead ... [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 22:27, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Would it be allowed to use one of these pictures (the Roman soldier, for instance) in the article?
:::Luckily for you, it is not a Roman soldier, only a "momnument" (to point out that the Romans built a street here, and no they did not build this whole street, only a small part of it) - so Belgian portrait right does not apply. Belgian copyright is at stake here - you will have to ask the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. But I'm sure they will think it such a good joke to make a Wikipedia article about this street that obtaining their permission will not be very difficult. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]--pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::::Well, I figured it was probably a statue of a soldier, since there were no cameras in Ancient Rome/Belgium. I'll have to ask those folks about it. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Delete''' per nom. [[User:Fram|Fram]] 19:52, 17 June 2006 (UTC)

*'''Keep''' Your nomination gives no reason to delete the article besides that it "is a disgrace to Wikipedia." Those pictures of Cotthem establish that it does indeed exist, and if it's large enough to support 2 restaurants and 2 pubs, then it ought to be kept. Your pictures also establish the history of Cotthem, and you seem to know about the area. Why not add to the article? [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 01:14, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
::'''Comment''' Please realize that this is not an "area". It is a STREET running through green fields and an artificial wood. It does not "support" these pubs and restaurants, people from elsewhere come there (wonderful place to walk and cycle) to drink and eat. Just look up Cotthem 1 and then Cotthem 6 and Cotthem 9 in www.mappy.be (6 and 9 are the two pubs by the way) and you will see how far away houses are from each other. Basically it is a very quiet place which explains why people like to have a pint or a meal there. I did not know much about the street, I just looked on the website of the municipality of Sint-Lievens-Houtem. And I happen to understand the captions which appear when you hold your mouse on these pictures. And no, I am not going to add to an article which claims this is a city of more than 30,000 inhabitants, when every Belgian would find it a joke if it was in the Dutch-speaking Wikipedia - and we tend to put hamlets there which have fewer than 5,000 inhabitants. This street is not Wall Street. And no, I do not live there either (in case you are starting to think I am a nimby and want to keep it quiet). So my basic argument is: if you make an article about this street, you will have to make one about half of the streets in Belgium. [[User_talk:Pan_Gerwazy]]---pgp 02:11, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
:::'''Comment''' That argument is not valid, you do not have to make articles about everything of comparable notability just because one exists. You still haven't provided a reason to delete the article beyond "it is a disgrace" and "this is a street," both of which are not reasons to delete an article. I still have seen no evidence beyond your claims that suggest that this is anything other than a town. [[User:Syphonbyte|syphonbyte]] 02:38, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

== Bands ==

your criteria for a band is a bit harsh.
requiring a band to have won an award or to play in front of at least 10,000 people is insane, there are plenty of high school bands that never release anything and only play for their friends are still bands.
by your rules the band Rocket From the Tomb is not a real band because they only released one CD and have never won any awards, in fact they never played for more than 300 people at a time.
however you never started a vote to delete that one. (I know they reformed and are touring again)
if Hydrophonica was listed in the Major Bands section then you would have all right to delete them but the mere fact that they are listed as Indie Artists and say that they are still working on a debut EP should have tipped you off.
for the record Indie means Independent which means not signed to a major label and that they don't have a large back catalog of music. [[User:JCS|JCS]] 04:18, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

I truly believe that the only reason you like to delete peoples credible pages is to amuse you in a sick way. If there are any other reasons, grow some balls and email me them at happyhappy246@msn.com (anonymous comments from [[User:159.191.12.26]])

:Any band that has released a CD with substantial distribution will avoid deletion under my criterion. Frankly I don't think most high school bands are worthy of an article on Wikipedia no matter how much their friends like them. I don't seek out articles to delete so the continued existence of articles that I haven't voted to delete doesn't mean that I would vote to keep such articles were I aware of them. I am familiar with the concept of an indie artist; indie artists still need to be published or otherwise notable (as described in my policy) to be considered notable enough to avoid deletion.
:In my opinion, [[Rocket From The Tombs]] (which is, I assume, the group you're referring to) is borderline (they are published, although whether the distribution reaches the bar of "national o or large subnational market" is not demonstrated). I would probably vote to delete were this article up for VfD. [[Hydrophonica]] has no published music with any distribution and thus fails to establish relevance for inclusion in the encyclopedia.
:In the future, please sign (using <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) your contributions to my talk page. I would also ask that you refrain from using my user talk page to make [[Wikipedia:No personal attacks|personal attacks]] on any Wikipedia editor. [[User:Kelly Martin|Kelly Martin]] 16:52, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

::i don't see how pointing out the fact that you are using your own idea of what is a band and what is not a band counts as a personal attack. it would be like calling your user profile a "vanity" page because it is about you and by you. any group of people playing music together would count as a band even if they have no recordings, it would be like saying a band does not exist unless it has been lampooned by Weird Al. the second comment about you was by someone else latching on to my comment and i am sorry that they did, however your policy on bands only works when applied to notable artists and not to young or small or lesser known bands. by your logic a band like The Bravery is not actually a band despite the fact that they have toured and sold out shows, or what about bar bands, bands that play once or twice a month in their local bar. thank you for correcting my mistake [[User:JCS|JCS]] 04:18, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

::::Thank you so very much for noticing the fact that you are judging "Notable Bands" but what about INDIE artists that deserve coverage too. in todays music industry small unsigned bands have to find diffrent methods to get the word out. why should it be up to you too decide what other people should read on a collaborative site like this one, if wikipedia only contained information that had to pass such a harsh system that you have it would only be as good as a traditional encyclopedia, that is out of date. The whole point of wikipedia is that EVERYONE comes together to contribute their knowledge and to learn from others. as for the IP i was posting from a library and so was someone else apparently I have no idea who it was but they were wearing their thoughts on their sleeve. PS Hydrophonica is working on some mp3s as we speak but are a bit short of money/studio space and every bit of publicity helps. [[User:JCS|JCS]]

i am not using Wiki as a soapbox but simply using it to state that your method of choosing articles is just as broken as if i was using it for a soap box. and as for the advertisng i do belive you misread my previous statment, i was saying that artists these days can't just play in friends basements or small bars they need a way to reach larger audiences without signing themselves to a label. do you know how much it costs to put out a debut EP a lot just for basic things like instruments and not icluding studio space/time, and besides the Hydrophonica entry was not put up by a band member. i repeat that Hydrophonica is an indie artist and so your rules for "Notable Artists" should not apply to them and please prove to me how that article is being used as a soapbox.

== Re: Welcome back ==

Thank you for welcoming me back. Sorry that I hadn't written to you sooner since your message seemed to get lost with the other messages. If you saw what I wrote on my user page, I put in a few self-imposed restrictions on myself so I would not get a very high wikistress again that caused me to leave in the first place. See ya around.

== Votes for deletion/Continuum calculator ==

Hello Kelly, thanks much for discussing the article. Since I am interested to keep the article I have overworked it a bit and I have added an explanation to the vote list. I would be glad if you had another look. Thanks. -- [[User:Karsten88|Karsten88]] 15:14, 21 May 2005 (CEST)

== re: Merge Sergei Taneyev quartets ==

Kelly,

The reason why I created the Sergei Taneyev string quartets as a separate page is that it relates principally to the [[string quartet]] page, which is becoming a major compendium of data on the many string quartets and their composers. As such it is getting very large, and [[User:Schissel|Schissel]] thinks that page itself is getting too long - I'm inclined to agree.

The purpose of the Sergei Taneyev string quartets page - as a separate page - was to include string quartet-specific information for the [[string quartet]] page without adding to the bloat. Merging it with the Sergei Taneyev page would confuse the original purpose, and I have not collected information on Taneyev's other compositions, so a merge would distort the Taneyev page's information content.

I really do think - for the moment - that separate pages is the way to go.

Just a question - where do you find all the stats about editors and their specific edits to each namespace? Please respond on my talk page. Thanks. {{User|Harro5}} 00:20, May 25, 2005 (UTC)

== Talk:Air Force One ==

> You replaced the entire Talk:Air Force One page with just a single subsection thereof. Is that what you intended to do?

:Geez, you're quick. No it wasn't. I don't know how it happened, and I noticed it and fixed it immediately. [[User:Duckecho|Duckecho]] 22:14, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

<big>'''Government involvement in the Terri Schiavo case'''</big>

> I think you ran into the same problem on this page, too.

:Yes I did. Also recognized it right away and fixed it immediately.

:I now know the symptoms that lead to it and should be able to avoid it in the future. I don't understand the mechanism, however. I'll desribe it to you: I open a new window (browser session) to edit the section and once I've completed the edit hit the Preview button and the browser then proceeds to the preview window. Once I am satisfied with its appearance, I hit the Save button. Most of the time I either get an accept (well, no "accept" message, but the freshly edited and saved page comes up) or an "Edit Conflict" window. But in both of those cases tonight, upon hitting the save button it went to another preview. The first time I got that new edit window two or three times before it was saved and I didn't notice until I looked at the new page what had happened. I noticed the second time (not soon enough) that that second preview was of the whole page, but the whole page was now just the section I edited.

:I'll watch for that scenario in the future and while I can't promise it won't happen again, I do promise that I'll fix it promptly if it does. I'm not some vandal indiscriminately terrorizing wiki; my edits are in earnest, although I can appreciate what you're looking for and how it appears. Thanks for watching out for me.

== Abusive reverts ==

This user is reverts changes without even reading the comments, what was replaced, why. The quality of the changes makes no difference to this user and editing privleges should be reviewed if not removed altogeather. see [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sex_change&action=history Sex change History] ''(unsigned anonymous comment)''
:Actually, I do in fact read the edit comments (there are no article talk comments on [[Sex change]] yet, so there's nothing to read there). I merely disagreed with your edits and felt that, in their totality, they did not benefit the article, and so I reverted them. May I suggest that you [[Special:Userlogin|get an account]]? It makes communicating easier. [[User:Kelly Martin|Kelly Martin]] 06:29, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Then read the wording of what's there with what I replaced it with and see which is clearer, factual, and easier to understand. Attempting to justify an off topic fact is just as off topic as that subject.
:I did read the wording of what you wrote, and I felt it was inferior. There were several grammatical errors, and factual information from the previous edition was removed without obvious reason (you feel it's off topic, I suppose; I disagree). [[User:Kelly Martin|Kelly Martin]] 06:51, May 28, 2005 (UTC)
I wrote:
<pre>Sex Change is a descriptively inaccurate term often used by society for gender reassignment surgery.
It is also interchangeably used for the medical procedures inter-sexed individuals undergo, or more
often are subjected to as children.</pre>

Off topic removed
<pre>Many people also see "sex change" as factually inaccurate.
Sex in humans is usually determined by four factors:

Chromosomes
Gonads (Ovaries and/or testicles)
Hormone status
Primary sex characteristics, sometimes also secondary sex characteristics
Not all of these factors can be changed, however:

Chromosomes cannot be changed.
Gonads can be removed, but not replaced
Hormone status is easily changed
Existing sex characteristics can to some extent be changed; existing ones mostly through surgery,
non-existing ones can be induced to grow through hormones.
For example: Changing a male genital anatomy into a good or even excellent female appearing and
functioning one is complicated, but entirely possible; changing a female genital anatomy into
an even reasonably male appearing one however is extremely complicated and not successful very
often; function is always limited.</pre>

My paragraph covered the inaccuracy of the term. Discussing how sex in humans is determined is not germane to this article and is thus off topic.

As for bad grammer that is what edit is for not revert. You should not attempt to use this to justify your reversion of the page to one with much worse grammer and which is much harder to read.
:I suggest you discuss this further on [[Talk:Sex change]]. [[User:Kelly Martin|Kelly Martin]] 07:24, May 28, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry I havent said Thank you sooner but I just noticed today that you rv vandalism on my to do list (you did it so quickly I didnt even notice) thanks again. Happy Editing (sorry for any grammar mistakes I have horrible grammar.) [[User:578|578]] [[User_talk:578|(Yes?)]] 14:04, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
