Deletion summaries

Hi, I have noticed that you often provide only a very short abbreviated deletion summary when you delete pages (like "a7" "nn-bio" and similar). Please keep in mind that most users do not know all of Wikipedia's speedy deletion criteria by heart. Please consider providing a brief "plain English" explanation without relying exclusively on "CSD jargon". Additionally linking to the relevant criteria so people can read it in full can also be useful, for example [[WP:CSD#A7]]. This will help a "layperson" better understand why something was deleted when looking at the deletion log.

Most browsers have a autocomplete or other "form filling" features that allow pre-prepared boil plate texts to be inserted into web forms with just a few keystrokes. This is useful for inserting detailed deletion summaries without having to type out the same things over and over. Please consider looking into it. Thanks. -- Longhair\talk 10:09, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Every little bit helps, and I've noticed less "hassle" in followup messages when the "kill command" is clear ;) Thanks. -- Longhair\talk 10:15, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you want a free bit of advice, using wiki features only, try this... find an article (take a nn bio for example, there's plenty of them to experiment with :-), edit the article and add the required {{db-bio}} tag, then click preview, but don't save. In bold along the top of the template you have your deletion summary. It works for me ;) -- Longhair\talk 10:36, 2 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You

Squidward vandal you just blocked

Looks like a sock or imitator of Squidward vandal and therefore deserving of an indefblock instead of 24h. :) Syrthiss 20:32, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, looking at [1] this may just be an imitator. Squidward primarily used open proxy ips instead of usernames. Syrthiss 20:54, 3 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted Page

A page titled "Michael Malvasio" was recently deleted by you. I just wanted to take a screen shot of it, just to have, and then you can delete it again. Can you please put it up for 1 more day, so we can take a screen shot. That would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for any inconvience we have caused you. Thank you in advance for your response and help.

Nice Work

Thanks for taking care of those disgusting images. It is very much appreciated.¤~Persian Poet Gal (talk) 22:01, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. -- Gogo Dodo 06:59, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An IP user has added [2] as an external link to Veronica Finn. Although it is a link to a realestate site apparently run by Veronica Finn, is it considered a commercial link? The link actually helps verify some of the information in the article, so I'm wondering if the link is okay or not. Should it be removed? -WarthogDemon 04:19, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. :) I'll do that. I think it actually might get discussed fairly quickly. Looks like Justin Timberlake is starting to date her again. Oo -WarthogDemon 07:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Speedy deletion tagging as nonsense and warning users

Thanks for the advice, but I disagree about those pages being nonsense articles. Although I dont speciffically recall the articles, obviously an administrator agrred that it met the speedy deletion criteria as the articles were deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EMT1871 (talkcontribs)

I Am Not Sure If I Am Being Reckless

But can you delete Kayla (Orca)? The article had been recently created, then had a db tag placed on it for already having an article at Kayla (whale). It was then changed into a redirect to the second page. I'm thinking it'd be best to have Kayla (whale) moved over there, for consistency's sake. We already have pages like that such as Keiko (Orca). -WarthogDemon 06:49, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I actually just now noticed that the correct page is Keiko (orca). That being said, is it alright if I just change it into a redirect to that page, and then move the Kayla (whale) page to Kayla (orca)? -WarthogDemon 06:54, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry for the confusion. ^_^;;; And thanks. :) -WarthogDemon 08:15, 6 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for copyediting.--Peter Eisenburger 07:56, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry...

Sorry about that. I should have checked the guidelines of wikipedia page before I let my friend post that. O and i'm pretty impressed. I new wikipedia was fast to clean up stuff, didn't know it was that fast. :P It won't happen again. —Nerdman01 04:51, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
