Hate to interrupt your break, but I'll leave this message here anyway just in case you check your messages. Do you still plan to have your bot/AWB send out the newsletter? It obviously needs finishing touches, but it would probably be best to send it out on the 30th. If you're not here, I'll go ahead and do it. Let me know by the 29th if possible, and I guess if I don't here from you, I'll deliver it. -- Nehrams2020 08:14, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Why was this deleted? We have articles describing pipe bombs and nail bombs, we link to instructions on how to perform a do-it-yourself abortion. Is gravely injuring others or bleeding to death more acceptable than a peaceful death at home? Why should Wikipedia fail to document the existence of a painless suicide method? Please explain.

Just in case you aren't aware, a policy was recently implemented by the Wikimedia Foundation, regarding access to nonpublic data (see [1]) Please note if you do not comply with these rules you should remove yourself from OTRS volunteering where your name is listed. Otherwise, please ignore this message :) Kind regards, Majorly (hot!) 17:52, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
Spooky. – Riana ऋ 23:12, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Can I ask your rationale for closing this as no consensus please?
The reason I ask is that a number of editors ( David Lauder, Astrotrain and Counter-revolutionary) often engage in block !voting on AfDs, and it's (poorly) documented on the AfD talk page. I could document it in a better manner if it would help as well? Ignoring them and the creator of the article Kittybrewster (also involved in the !block voting) there are only three editors in favour of keeping the article. I'm well aware that AfD isn't a vote naturally, but one of those editors stated "undoubtedly notable, in my opinion", which doesn't really address the problems with the article in my opinion, ie the lack of multiple non-trivial sources or verifiable information. Thanks. One Night In Hackney 303 03:56, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry for unprotecting your cascading protection of your userspace transclusion of the Main Page. I thought it was a bug in the Main Page, but I now see that it's a great use of cascading protection. The Main Page didn't get edited this last time it got deleted, due to the cascading protection. :) - Mark 15:12, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
Many thanks for your note regarding the autoblock privacy issue - I hold my hands up - I didn't realise. I only sporadically unblock autoblocks and when I do, I normally use the autoblock ID, that's what I'll do in the future and I won't mention any names when unblocking. Thanks for the notification on this matter. Ryan Postlethwaite 22:39, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm having a constant issue over prices in articles. It started on one talk page: spread to the Video game project talk page, ANI, and also the talk page of Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. An admin needs to resolve this, in my opinion. As it's just an endless fight back and forth between people wanting the prices listed and people not wanting the prices listed. I went to ANI on your advice: it hasn't helped a ton as of yet. Wikipedia_talk:What_Wikipedia_is_not#Not_a_sales_catalogue_or_price_guide, Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#Ongoing_issue_that_needs_to_be_resolved, Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Video_games#Wii Points: to list or to not list? and Talk:List_of_Virtual_Console_games_(North_America)#Wii_Points_issues_.28again.29 is where it's taking place. Feel free to pass it onto another admin (or admins), because this certainly needs a solution. I'm getting very fed up with this, and I'm very sick of comments by people clearly thinking the problem isn't around. RobJ1981 04:28, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

The Minor Barnstar | |
For taking this action and many other edits in order to maintain Wikipedia, I hereby award you the minor barnstar, for a minor edit that obviously wasn't noticed by anyone. :P Yonatan talk 01:07, 9 May 2007 (UTC) |
The article's been set up as a redirect... do you think this is acceptable? I'm just concerned that making the article available for editing will cause novice editors to expand on the content despite the crystal ball nature of this film. There's already rumors going around (I keep my ear pretty close to the ground for Spidey news, rumor or not) about the next film's villains, and it seems best for this article should be deleted and protected from recreation until a case can be made for establishing the film article. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 19:38, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
I was under the impression that Spider-Man 4 was set up as a redirect and protected from editing. It's been "expanded" with very preliminary information that obviously violates WP:CRYSTAL. I've changed it back to a redirect, but this needs to be addressed. — Erik ( talk • contrib) - 16:50, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
Regarding your block of user:Lsi john, the user has admitted his violation and he is contrite. Given that blocking for WP:3RR is preventative and not punitive, would you consider unblocking him? ≈ jossi ≈ (talk) 22:12, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
A quick Google search found that Shaun Baker has used the handle "Shaunybot" on a number of other sites, and doubtless wanted simply to continue using it here for consistency. I don't know whether that's a factor you'd want to take into consideration. However, if you decide not to unblock, would you at least tell the user the specific reason for the block? Neither of the two comments at User talk:Shaunybot specified the problem. Thanks! -- Ben TALK/ HIST 04:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Hi thanks for your comments, I chose the username shaunybot because my old prefferred name shaunyboy is a bit common these days and in the interests of only having to remember fewer usernames around the internet I have been calling myself shaunybot for some time now. Im not trying to appear as some kind of robot its just easy for me to remember, i hope I can keep my name but of course will change it if many wikis feel the same as you. kind regards shaunybot Shaunybot 11:32, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that, as far as the previous protection, the person who did it didn't say when it would expire on the request page, so I assumed it was indefinite. Ashura96 00:42, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
Yep, it's me. I have set up a page about my cross-site accounts on my meta page, do you think I probably should link to it from my English Wikipedia page? ffm ✎talk 16:13, 13 May 2007 (UTC)

There has been recent vandalism and harsh edits to the article Evangeline Williamson who is a fictional character on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live where she has recently left the show (put in comatose). Since a bucket load of fan links have scrolled her page and kept putting their as well as vandalism of removing information and tainting with the Lovers/Relationships section where people lower and upper basic relationships, (i.e Todd Manning instead of dated someone said friends, and Cristian Vega someone added soulmates.) I was wondering if you could currently lock the page until the character has left the show or something under my last edit.-- Migospia 09:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Thanks, LoveIsJoyous ( talk| contribs) keeps adding bad external links to the Evangeline Williamson article, it also appears it is being done to Renee Elise Goldsberry as well.-- Migospia 01:06, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Archiving a solved case that is more than 3 days old. This is only my 2nd case so i might not be very good at it. Working on it now. VK35 18:57, 19 May 2007 (UTC) Would you review my work? I archived Danielfgrego. Thank you. In time, I hope to perfect my RFCU clerk skills. I am doing this for a trial one week and then see if it's for me. It is boring. VK35 19:00, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm not on IRC because one has to ask for permission. I intended to be a clerk for only a one week trial period. If longer, then it's an idea. If I don't stay an active clerk long, then it's a lot of trouble for everyone to set up. VK35 19:07, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
[ [3]] Then I must have misunderstood. Maybe IRC access permission is required for non-clerks?? VK35 19:11, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I'm such an idiot. clicking on the link, irc://chat.freenode.net/wikipedia-checkuser-clerks, does nothing, either an infinite "connecting" or cannot connect. VK35 19:21, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
I see you've been having a conversation with VK35. Well, I was able to confirm with a checkuser that VK35 is Dereks1x, a banned user. I'm a bit shocked that VK35 was able to edit for so long then con his way onto the checkuser clerk list. If you can, please help check for any possible collateral damage caused by this banned user at RFCU. (Also, per WP:BAN, any edits made by this user should be reverted or removed). Thanks. · jersyko talk 03:42, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

I, Majorly give this well-deserved award to Cbrown1023 for all hard work he does, on here, Wikiquote, Meta and probably loads of other places, with very little credit or thanks. You are an asset to this project, and a good friend. Keep up the good work, we don't know what we'd do without you! :) Majorly ( talk | meet) 19:31, 20 May 2007 (UTC) |

It shows in the Deletion Log recently that you have deleted the page of Powerspace, a band from Chicago, IL on the record label Fueled By Ramen. Fueled By Ramen has Wikipedia pages for every band on their label, except Powerspace. This should not be deleted, in fact expanded, because this band has gotten a lot more popularity, and if fans want to know about who they are, they type it in on Google, which one of the first pages that comes up under a Google Search would be Wikipedia. This should be undeleted and have the information back for users to read and edit. Thank you for considering this deletion.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Danno1227 ( talk • contribs) 21:39, 23 May 2007 (UTC).

"Nor is it a venue to nit-pick on the mis-followings of policy when an article should have been deleted"
Actually, DRV's mission is specifically to judge if policy has been followed in the deletion process. It is supposed to go by what policy says, not editors' personal opinions towards the articles. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 06:16, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
I'd think people would know by now that trying to quietly sweep things away by avoiding policy and normal venues doesn't work. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 20:44, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Deletion policy says how to delete things, WP:CSD says why things may be speedy deleted, and WP:OFFICE explains why it may be sometimes circumvented for the sake of dealing with urgent issues. The problem is that these cases met none of the criteria for any of those. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 23:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
Except that the reasons for speedy deletion are explicitly narrow and strict. Those other deletions are supposed to go through AfD for case-by-case decisionmaking before the content disappears from view. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 00:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Keyspam and child porn fits into 'illegal content' anyway, and keyspam was covered by having a discussion about inclusion, settling on 'yes, we can have it.' Out of process cases should be the exception, not something happening dozens of times a day all on the same grounds. There should be an attempt to settle on a rule for these cases and add it to the speedy deletion criteria if it's so important to delete them. There's no rush, because the argument isn't even that they're causing harm right now, it's that they might be harmful in the future. Night Gyr ( talk/ Oy) 03:06, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
This is asking that you assess and reconsider the stub-class rating assigned to the Rebecca Cummings article by the WikiProject Biography.
I am the main author of the Rebecca Cummings article. When I first started the article it was rated as a stub. With the help of others including two administrators, Alkivar and Joe_Beaudoin_Jr., the article was improved and the stub rating was removed 14:11, 22 May 2006. The article is very useful to any reader seeking information on Rebecca. It meets MoS standards. It also contains clear, relevant and complete information about Rebecca Cummings and has continued to be improved since the stub rating was removed.
If you feel it should still have the stub-class rating can you please let me know from the WikiProject Biography point of view what can be done to improve the article beyond the stub-class rating? Please respond on Talk:Rebecca_Cummings.
Thanks in advance! -- HeartThrobs 06:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
I just realized that it was the end of the month today, so I quickly cranked out a few stories (with a little research and creating some new things around the project) and hopefully completed the newsletter. Could you take a look over it and correct any grammar/wording issues before you send it out? As you can see, we once again had another great month in getting a lot of articles improved to GA/FA status. Let me know if there is anything else that needs to be fixed before it gets sent out. -- Nehrams2020 08:14, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
