I have added a "{{ prod}}" template to the article Caesar Rodriguez, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also " What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at its talk page. Removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, but the article may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria. Sorry about prod-ing this but a single unverified line seems lame after a year sooo.... Pigman talk • contribs 18:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

What's a way to fix some category mess like what I see at this link? "first century Christianity" is red-linked to a category that itself is also red-linked (Ancient Christian Demonimations).

Dear Badbilltucker, I have just posted a new article: Fauna of Scotland. I'd like to think it is a decent amateur effort, but I am not a zoologist and would appreciate input from Wikipedians with zoological credentials. I note the existence of the WikiProject Mammals, but I didn't want to go blundering in. Any advice or suggestions gratefully received. -- Ben MacDui (Talk) 11:28, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

I left you a thank you note at [1].
FYI, he did get a welcome message, from me, that he called spam.
As I'm sure you've now noticed, he removed your post on his talk, another editor reverted this, and JJ's removed it again. Because of this flurry, you may be interested in reading the AN/I and checkuser I initiated last week for the very kinds of things that you've noticed today.

Hi Badbilltucker -- Actually, assuming the sockpuppet perspective is not true, my obvious membership is over two months longer than JJ's. I spent a month reading and observing before actively editing. Regards, Keesiewonder talk 21:09, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
There are dozens of other unfounded and rude remarks posted by JJ that await apology. It could be argued that virtually every edit summary of JJ's and every talk page post and every edit on his own talk page counts as violation of some kind of wiki-ethic or a jab at someone. The jury's still out; sometimes it takes longer to repair damage than it does to behave with good faith the first time around. Before you (JJ) accuse me of some nonsense, yet again, remember who blanked their user page of a welcome message, from me, and called it spam. Nice! Keesiewonder talk 21:46, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

==Speedy deletion of Cateegory:Cities articles needing infoboxes==
A tag has been placed on Cateegory:Cities articles needing infoboxes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:
Under the
criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet very basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please
see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{
hangon}}
on the top of the page and leave a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jamoche 19:30, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Badbilltucker,
Just a quick note to let you know I removed a template you had added to Adashino Nenbutsu-ji. It's possible that there's a good reason for the template, so of course feel free to add it back. I'd be interested to know the rationale.
Thanks Fg2 21:00, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Badbill. You may want to look at this in the context of WP:WikiProject Religion. User edits Islam-related articles a lot; I know him well and have the utmost respect for him. Itsmejudith 22:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Badbilltucker
The "articles by quality" categories you have created for WikiProject:Iceland do not match the category names called by the template. AFAIK, all such categories should have been named "A-Class ..." etc. with a capital "C". The non-article categories do in fact spell "Class" with a capital C. I hope you don't mind if I replace your set of categories with a new set which will match both the template calls and the category names for similar material. Regards. Valentinian (talk) / (contribs) 23:22, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi Badbilltucker,
I've joined the project. I think it is a good idea if the members of this project have a to-do list and start working on the pages all together, no matter what the topic is. The major problem in relgious related problems is lack of enough (dis-interested, less biased) editors. Most of the editors who are interested to work on particular religous articles usually share some common ground. Anyways, Thanks for visiting my RfC. Cheers, -- Aminz 00:47, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Ok; thanks for the heads up. I don't see anything that concerns me yet. Looks like this user's first 4 edits to the ML article were today, and the 4th edit reverted to the state of the article before his/her first. Also, the welcome note on the user's page is from an active gent at the ML article. So, we're at par; alert but not concerned yet. Unless you can point me to something I missed. Thanks! Keesiewonder talk 22:54, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
I see you tagged Norse paganism with the wiki-project neopaganism tag. I don't know how appropriate this is, because at least in the sphere of articles I edit, we keep modern religions and revivals separate from the historical pagan religions. There was actually quite a bit of discussion about this quite awhile back and that was the consensus. So for example, all of the religions listed at Germanic neopaganism are neopagan, as are most of them at Polytheistic reconstructionism. (Both of these articles are basically the portals leading to all of their sub entries, of which there are many.) I'd love to discuss it further with you to kind of get an idea what you are working on. - WeniWidiWiki 02:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
I figured they were B-Class, thanks for assessing them. -- DJREJECTED 13:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
Sorry it's taken a bit to get back to you. First off, note that the user I posted under on the discussion page didn't seem to excited about the concept, either. Now, I just see this as becoming a thing that would be abused; as someone who's been on RfC recently, I know how easily a mudslinging festival can be called 'evidence gathering'. To maintain a true image of impartiality, such a review board would have to take a LOT of cases on, and would be under a LOT of pressure to maintain 'integrity'. Basically, I can't imagine it NOT degenerating into a which hunt. It's even worse if it has no authority; then, admins could be 'condemned', but go on editing to the jeers of their critics, which they now would be forced to accept. Not that I'm saying they should have any authority; that would cause all sorts of conflicts with ArbCom. Really, I just see this as another way to focus on people instead of content, which can only slow down work and drive people away in my eyes. -- InShaneee 04:38, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
Hi there,
Would be possible for you to post your reasons for why the al-Kindi article qualified for a B-Class rating on the articles talk page, and what steps you feel can be taken to improve it to a GA-Class article.

Hi Badbilltucker
I just noticed that you've placed a WP:Finland banner on Scanian (linguistics). Sorry but you lost me there. Scanian is spoken in southern Sweden in what was eastern Denmark until 300 years ago (I've deliberately avoided placing a WP:Denmark banner there since it will probably provoke somebody no matter that the oldest Danish record is in Scanian). But Finland ??? Charles X Gustav considered deporting the Scanians to Ingria but it was never carried out. Were you thinking about something else? Regards.

Hey. I know almost nothing about dog breeds, but Kuhmoisten Sanomat seems to be the local newspaper in Kuhmoinen, a (very small) municipality in Finland. Therefore, obtaining a copy of the issue does not seem very possible. The referenced article translates as "A family with dogs enjoys being close to nature" or similar, so I don't know if it contains any real information about this dog breed. However, the author of the article is listed on the newspaper's official website, with an e-mail address. She might be able to help out, in English too. The Finnish name of the dog seems to be "Tamaskankoira". It's listed on fi:Luettelo suomalaisista kotieläinroduista ("list of Finnish dog breeds"), but does not have an article on the Finnish Wikipedia. Prolog 22:22, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello. I've noticed that you do a lot of stuff with maintaining and organizing Wikiprojects. I'm trying to inform all wikiprojects that might be affected by a proposed merge about the proposed merge, and was wondering if I could solicit your help in that endevor?
Back in December I proposed a merger for three fair use templates, Template:Game-cover, Template:Boardgamecover, and Template:RPG-artwork. I made an effort to publicise the merge on the villiage pump and various places that deal with fair use templates. After a lot of support on tfd and a lack of opposition elsewhere I attempted the merge on January 15. Post-merge I've had two objections, one of which said that I "should have brought up the merge with the various projects that manage those covers" (which I thought I was doing when I informed WikiProject Fair use). The merge has been reverted by the person who said I should have brought up the merge in more places. Today I went around and informed:
Can you think of any additional wikiprojects I should inform? Thank you. ~ ONUnicorn( Talk| Contribs) problem solving 21:01, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I am the main author of the article and I agree with most of your comments about it. See Talk:Sathya Sai Baba movement/Comments. Thanks. I can provide more references, though I will probably be unable to do so because I expect that I will get banned indefinitely by the arbcom, because of anti-Sathya Sai Baba "activist editing". It will be clear that I completely disagree with this because everybody can see that the article Sathya Sai Baba movement is not the product of an anti-Sathya Sai Baba activist.

Since Wikiproject:Biography has been a little rudderless in the last few weeks, I've been trying to step up and help where I can. I really think the project needs to have a collaboration council or coordinating committee or something along those lines so it doesn't depend too much on one person.
