Hi.

Formal notification of deletion review

I already said I was going to do this, but here's the formal notification as per procedure at WP:DRV:

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Bonney Eberndu. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 14:06, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Copies of deleted lists

Hi, is there a way to get copies of the deleted film lists? (we were all too busy in the massive afd discussions and info-boxing, and I'm not sure if anybody kept copies, but I will ask) Hoverfish Talk 19:07, 1 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you give me the names of the pages, perferrably as links, I will e-mail you the contents. Cbrown1023 talk 01:02, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will try not to give you a bad time, so I picked 3 only that I feel strongly need to be checked. These are two that got some WP Films votes for merging: List of films featuring blind characters (AfD) / List of films involving amputees (AfD). I also observe in the Lists of films that several more were deleted, although we were not notified in WP Films about their AfDs. It should be against some rules to delete our lists without notifying the project. So, my third one is an example where you can see no WP Films members ever took part in the discussion: List of childhood-related films (AfD). Thanks. Hoverfish Talk 08:09, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question about your request for username usurpation

Please see the discussion concerning your request to usurp Brownbot. Better to have your clarification than the speculation of others. — ERcheck (talk) 19:49, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Edit warring

Please look at these articles histories [1] and [2] these are just two examples of edit warring by two users User:Iwazaki and User:Snowolfd4. They work in unison to avoid 3RR . I am trying all kinds of conflict resolution methods such as talking about the differences and asking for third opinion Talk:Chencholai_bombing, Talk:Allegations_of_mass_graves_at_Chemmani#Third_Opinion and Talk:Kokkadichcholai_massacre#Third_Opinion from the responses you can see even neutral third party opinions will not suffice improve the situation. I will now take these to mediation as suggested by an admin, but meanwhile I would like you to take a look at these edit pattersn to improve the situation. Thanks RaveenS 21:20, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Entrusted with the Bucket!

Thank you for supporting me in my RfA. Thanks for your vote, I've received an overwhelming 96% support and successfully took a copy of bucket-and-mop from the main office!

School graduation exam and HKCEE are both pressing in, so I might become inactive for a while. But soon after that, I look forward to working with you! --Der yck C. 03:36, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kiarostami was promoted!

Dear Cbrown1023

I need to thank you (a "special thanks") for your kind assistance and support. The article would not come to FA status without your helps. Thanks and All the best. Sangak ^Talk 11:21, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oflegend page getting deleted.

Why was it deleted? I just posted some info about him. I wasen't attacking him. User talk:Rattlesnake316

I'm sorry, but based on our policies, the article is an attack page. Cbrown1023 talk 19:26, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-Protection Request.

Cbrown1023, would you mind semi-protecting my user page for a week? I've been getting daily vandalism for the last 5-6 days. I know this isn't the place to request this, but I would like semi-protection, just for a week, in order to let the vandalism settle down. Please check my user page's history for the last few days if you want. Acalamari 02:53, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Happily

Done. :) Cbrown1023 talk 02:54, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

WikiThanks

Thank you very much. I wouldn't normally ask for it, but since due to the amount of vandalism I've had, I thought it was necessary. Acalamari 02:57, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

User:Essjay

I've seen a lot of talk about the recent leave of Essjay and was wondering if you could tell me exactly what happened in a nutshell that caused him to leave. I saw your comments on his page a few weeks back and then now again today and was curious as to why such a good editor was leaving. --Nehrams2020 09:29, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of User:Essjay/Letter

Given how widely that particular page has been cited as evidence in the current debate over Essjay's conduct, both on Wikipedia and outside it, are you sure it was a smart move to delete it just now? The deletion policy does permit it, as far as I can tell (and even the "evidence in an ongoing dispute" clause I thought was there doesn't seem to be anymore, if it ever was), but it does seem pretty obvious that a lot of people now stumbling across a link to it are going to be really puzzled, and, if they realize it has been deleted, may come to perceive it, however mistakenly, as an attempt at covering things up.

I'm not sure exactly how Essjay intended his request to delete his userspace to be understood, but I'd rather like to assume he didn't mean "make it seem to any suspicous outsiders like I'm trying to cover my tracks". It's not like the text of the page is going to go away anyway: it's been quoted on numerous pages on and off Wikipedia, and I'm sure a copy of the whole text will soon turn up somewhere if if hasn't already. (Yes, I grabbed a copy. No, I'm sure I'm not the only one who did. No, I won't publish mine. Yes, I'm sure someone will.)

At this point, it would seem to me the reasonable thing to do would be to restore the page for now and to contact Essjay and ask whether, given the context, he really meant his request to apply to that page also. I suppose, if it stays deleted, someone is just going to put it on WP:DRV sooner or later, resulting in even more public screaming and shouting and finger-pointing. Whatever we end up doing with the page, I'd rather like to avoid that. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 14:38, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
