You nominated this for deletion on the grounds of notability. I reviewed the criterion Wikipedia:Criteria_for_inclusion and I think it passes muster as there are many independent reliable sources consisting of independent reviews of this model. Why would you support an aggregate article listing many models but not a sub-article listing a single model? Are you concerned about article title namespace? There are examples of wikipedia articles covering a specific model of a model series including:
Can we compromise? Will you respect an article dealing with an entire model series such as:

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, but in my deletion discussion I believe I stated that the Dell XPS was notable. In any case though could you clarify your statements? RockManQ ( talk) 05:39, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Hello, I'm wondering if you could unclose the recent decision you made to keep the Mega-zine article. I'm wishing to contest the decision you made of the "consensus" that the article should be kept. First of all, there were only two votes in the debate besides the initial argument for deletion and one of them created the article and the other requested that it be undeleted. Given that you are such a new account, I think you misinterpreted the way deletion process take place. Most deletions are only closed by Wikipedia administrators, and after a consensus has been achieved. Now clearly no consensus has been achieved in that deletion debate since both "Keep" votes had been involved with the creation/resurrection of the article. Please unclose the debate so a consensus can be achieved. If you fail to do this, I'll list this article at the Deletion review for further commentary.

When you are relisting an AfD debate, it is important that you do so properly or it will cause confusion (and almost nobody will notice it was relisted). Here is how you do it:

We do not use them at AfD. Proposals to do so have been repeatedly rejected. Look around, and you'll see nobody else does it, so it tends to give prominence to one's own opinions./ I know that's not your intent, but that's how it can look. DGG ( talk) 19:33, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
Alright, what do you mean an inline citation? Something like this?
And then it has the references at the bottom of the page? Or is it something different? If so please explain, if not, i'll tell you how its done.
Second question.
All you do is exactly what he told you, let me explain...
{{subst:relist|~~~~}} Is a template, what this template does it put the page on a list...so instead of putting {{relist}} You put what he told you to put. I have not worked a lot with AfD so im not sure exactly what this relist is, however the the template he gave you is just an alternate template to {{relist}} and it adds your signature to the template.
Hope this helped, just let me know if you need anything else.

Hi RockManQ. I just wanted to point out that you waited exactly one second before slapping a deletion notice on this article ( diff). This kind of knee-jerk reaction could easily have caused someone to lose work to an edit conflict, or been very discouraging to a new editor. Automated tools like Twinkle need to be used responsibly and with consideration for the effects of their use. -- Rlandmann ( talk) 20:21, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Absolutely - no harm done as far as this article goes - but it could very easily have been a different story had it been a contribution by a less experienced editor. Please be more careful with Twinkle. Cheers -- Rlandmann ( talk) 20:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Why have you deleted my article? I gave reasons for notability and even provided a reference from the actual balliol jcr website. Futhermore, how can you possibly know anything of the importance of democracy and the its role in our jcrs when you aren't even British let alone have any association with Oxford University? How can you possibly judge whether such a character is notable or worthy of a biography when you can't understand the context in which Jack Hobbs is notorious? As a current student at Balliol I believe the entry to meet the criteria set by Wikipedia and think that the decision to alter standing policy in such a manner is a prime example of the eccentricities associated with Balliol and a noteworthy section of its history.

Sorry, I don't know what that means.

Could you explain please, I'm not very wikipedia savvy.
-- Horatio-whs ( talk) 22:20, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Let me clarify a little bit. I patrol newpages via the Special:Newpages page. If it is found that an article meets the Criteria for Speedy Deletion then that page may be deleted, quickly. I applied a csd template that alerted other admins to the article in question. They then review it and see if it meets the criteria I just mentioned. If it meets those criteria they have the power to delete it from the Wikipedia database. If you feel your article was unjustly deleted, you may take it up with the admin who deleted your article. Did this help? RockManQ ( talk) 22:21, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
Don't worry though. Just because your article was deleted, this does not reflect your ability to create and edit articles any bit. Almost everyone has an article created by them self, that is deleted at one point. RockManQ ( talk) 22:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
In fact you may want to be consider being adopted by an experienced user. RockManQ ( talk) 22:26, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey no worries, you'll produce a great article someday I'd bet. It sounds like you've got a lot of experience in chemistry. Have you thought about contributing to the Wiki-Project Chemistry? RockManQ ( talk) 22:32, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

One of the advantages of not having many supporters at your RFA is that there are fewer people to thank at the end. Thanks for your support and your willingness to look at my complete record. I'm going to try to interpret this resounding defeat as a statement that I should choose my words more carefully in the future, and remember that every statement I make gets recorded forever, just waiting to get carefully transcribed onto my next RFA. I would go insane if I believed that it was repudiation of what I truly meant: that no editor should consciously and willfully ignore guidelines and policies, and editors that repeatedly do so should not be rewarded for or supported in doing so.
I'm sure I'll get back to full speed editing soon, because, after all, , every day, and in every way, I am getting better and better.— Kww( talk) 05:31, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you for asking for my input on your article. I am flattered, but the subject matter is somewhat over my head. However, I can note that this paragraph is lacking referencing:
"It is classified as a nerve agent because it fatally interferes with normal functioning of the mammalian nervous system. As a chemical weapon, it is classified as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations according to UN Resolution 687, and its production is strictly controlled and stockpiling outlawed by the Chemical Weapons Convention of 1993. Tabun is the first of the so-called G-series nerve agents along with GB (sarin), GD (soman) and GF(cyclosarin)."
Who classified it as a nerve agent? When did the UN classify it as a WMD? And who said it was the first of the so-called G-series etc? You may want to fill that in. Thanks. Ecoleetage ( talk) 03:19, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Umm......Couldn't the same be said about illustrating your page with an AK-47? Perhaps you are unaware that at a press conference in Panama in 2005 Bush 43 assured reporters that America does not torture. The picture that particularly concerns you is of a Guantanamo detainee. You seem to think he is being tortured but in fact, like other "war on terror" detainees, her is "being brought to justice." (Again the words of the president. And the president wouldn't lie.) It's my guess that the man portrayed is an extremely dangerous terrorist who was detained for wearing soiled underpants in a threatening manner while attempting to damage government property by zip-tying his hands behind his back and using his body's weight to try to pull the bars off a US government-owned window.

P.S.: Note that Zlerman has taken on 4 countries. :) Country outline developmentThere are two issues here:
Preparing a country outline to be moved to article spaceCountry outlines should be moved to article space before they are completed. That way, more editors will notice them and help complete them. However, there are certain things that should be finished before moving them, and these are covered in the subsections below. Lead sectionThe lead section should be condensed down to a single paragraph including just enough for good solid country identification. Unfortunately, we haven't developed a standard for this yet (perhaps general location, main distinguishing characteristics, and something the country is famous for) - more thought is needed on this. It was never intended to leave the full article leads in these outlines. We simply copied and pasted the leads from the articles to provide an easy starting point for editing. Some of the leads are monstrous - these pages are supposed to be outlines, not articles or article forks. I'll get back to you on this. Though any topics in the lead that are essential to the country as a subject should be converted to outline entries and included in the body of the outline (if they are not already there). The country outlines placed in article space so far were done rather hastily in order to provide feedback (to see if the community wouldn't just want to burn these with fire, but also to generate comments, and to see how editors developed them further - for ideas on how to improve and expand the standard format), to get readers used to their presence, and to attract editors to this project. In our haste, and since, we never got around to condensing the leads. By the way, an editor, on his own initiative, condensed the lead in Topic outline of Indonesia down to the bare bare minimum. I guess he wasn't aware that outlines are still lists, and it is normal for lists to have a lead paragraph more than a single sentence long (see WP:LISTS#Lead section or paragraph). Oh well. Administrative divisionsThe administrative divisions sections for many countries are incorrect on the drafts, and the sections are empty. These need to be corrected and filled. If there are way too many divisions to list, provide a link instead. Provide a map if you can find one (for each admin div section). Government branches sectionsThese too start out in error for many countries. They must be corrected before the outline can be moved to article space.
Completing a country outlineThere is some awkward stuff in the incomplete outlines:
When encountered in article space, many editors tend to delete the awkward stuff instead of complete it. You need to be on the look out for this. One way to check for this is to compare the outline against the template:Outline country. That will show you what standard items have been removed. That aside, here's the basic order that I generally complete an outline in: Maps!Each country outline should include:
Look for these at Wikimedia Commons. A faster way to get to what you need is to click on the atlas link in the country outline. ;) Sometimes the selection to choose from is pitiful. Do the best with what you have to work with. The best examples of map support so far are Topic outline of the Isle of Man and Topic outline of Japan. Fill-insAll blank entries and empty link brackets need to be filled in. Bluelink the redlinksGenerally, either move a page to the name of the redlink, or click on the redlink and create a redirect to the article and section where the information is. Entries that don't seem like they belong, we still keep for comparison purposes. These outlines serve as profiles, and the standard entries and the standard order they are in let you compare country profiles easily. So rather than remove "Glaciers" for countries that have none, instead add a colon and type in "none". This also helps remove ambiguity. If the glacier item is missing, the reader may not know whether it means that there are no glaciers, or if the outline just isn't complete yet. We're trying to make these outlines as unambiguous as possible. Finish the coverageThese outlines were created using a template that had all the links most likely to be found for most of the countries of the world. But countries are highly individualized, and there are lots of non-standard topics on Wikipedia about them. We need to find them for each country. Here are some searching tips: Be careful not to go beyond the essential topicsThese outlines are not indexes, and they shouldn't include every article related to the country. We have alphabetical indexes and specialized lists for that. For example, in the outline of the United States, don't include the name of every municipality in the country, because there are thousands of them. That's too much data! But small countries might only have a handful of cities, towns, and villages. Sure, add them in. Use Google to search Wikipedia (yes you can use Google to search specific websites - Google is actually much more useful for searching Wikipedia than Wikipedia's own search box is.) Basically, in Google you type in "of x" (including the quotes!). (Where "x" is a country name). Then click on Advanced search, and configure it to "title only" and add Wikipedia's URL to the domain field. As you get up to speed with this technique, you'll probably start editing the url directly in the url field at the top of your browser, but you could skip to an advanced method and make an url list of google searches on a user page and load them with Linky (this technique speeds up multi-Google searches immensely). In the results, you'll recognize a lot of the article names on there (guess how I found the article names for the country outlines in the first place!) Look over the results, keeping an eye out for article names that are not already included in the country outline you are working on. (Using "-subject", where "subject" is the name of a subject, you can eliminate a lot of the standard subjects already in use, to make it easier to spot new ones in your results). Then repeat for "in x", and look them over as above. Other search terms that may be useful include the country's name (without "of" or "in"), the country's adjectival(s) (e.g. "German", "Germanic"), the country's demonym(s), etc. Check the country's categoriesYou can usually find blatantly missing topics in Wikipedia's category system. Browse the subject's articles on WikipediaBy this point the outline itself is already a powerful research tool. Click on its links to find more links for the outline. For example, History of Russia is a great place to look for links for the history section. And don't forget to read the main article on the country! ImagesImages are best saved for last, because once you've added all the links and maps to the outline, then you know how much room you need to fill with images. But it's OK to add them sooner or as you go - pictures are worth a thousand words and they liven up the page. Just keep in mind that as more links are added, so is more space which needs to be filled with images. For images, the standard size we've been using is 300px. If the image can't be seen at that size, make it bigger. Placement is usually to the right, but large images usually work best centered at the top or bottom of a section. Be creative, but make it look good. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. Try to find pictures that are not already in use in the main country-related articles. You can usually find some at Commons, and in more-specific articles (like place articles, or animal type, etc.). Go a few clicks deep. ;) The best examples of image placement are Topic outline of France, Topic outline of Iceland, Topic outline of Japan, Topic outline of Taiwan, and Topic outline of Thailand.
For the sake of comparison, it takes me 3 to 8 hours to develop the content (topics, links, and annotations) of a country outline. It takes me about another 8 hours to finish it up with maps and images. Good luck. Have fun. The Transhumanist 21:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Keep a look out for ways to do these fasterIf you find methods of completing country outlines faster, please by all means let me know. I'm especially interested in finding faster ways to find and place images. The Transhumanist 21:33, 26 February 2009 (UTC) Project scopeBy the way, we do a bit more than country outlines. Work on the outlines uncovers problems in Wikipedia's country-related coverage, and we've been taking care of those as we find them as well. Currently we're cleaning up the "Demographics of" articles, and creating disambiguation pages for all the country adjectivals ( German, Dutch, Taiwanese, etc.), and we've just started organizing and cleaning up all the country-related lists (because generally, each one focuses on a link type from the outlines). We're also standardizing the names and redirects of all the topics that tend to be repeated for countries (e.g., all countries will eventually have a "Geography of" article - we make sure they are all named alike, or least share common redirects). An unexpected benefit is that the links on the country outlines provide a standard framework from which to base the titles of new articles on. See:

Project News In an attempt to improve articles, there is talk of forming a collaboration between a few Wikipedians. The current project is to improve Hurricane Camille to FA status in time for its 40th anniversary this August. There is still plenty of work to be done, so if you're interested, any help would be appreciated. Additionally, there is a recent discussion on the WPTC talk page about establishing a notability criteria. There was talk in the past of instating one, although this time the proposal is backed up by interpretations of existing Wikipedia policy. The proposal would limit articles to tropical cyclones that have at least one independent, reliable source other than any warning centers. Excluding cross-basin, off-season, or 64+ knot cyclones, the proposal would affect 26 articles, none of which affected land or lasted for an appreciable amount of time.

GA Sweeps invitationHello, I hope you are doing well. I am sending you this message since you are a member of the GA WikiProject. I would like to invite you to consider helping with the GA sweeps process. Sweeps helps to ensure that the oldest GAs still meet the criteria, and improve the quality of GAs overall. Unfortunately, last month only two articles were reviewed. This is definitely a low point after our peak at the beginning of the process when 163 articles were reviewed in September 2007. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. All exempt and previously reviewed articles have already been removed from the list. Instead of reviewing by topic, you can consider picking and choosing whichever articles interest you. We are always looking for new members to assist with the remaining articles, so if you are interested or know of anybody that can assist, please visit the GA sweeps page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. If only 14 editors achieve this feat starting now, we would be done with Sweeps! Of course, having more people reviewing less articles would be better for all involved, so please consider asking others to help out. Feel free to stop by and only review a few articles, something's better than nothing! Take a look at the list, and see what articles interest you. Let's work to complete Sweeps so that efforts can be fully focused on the backlog at GAN. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

Cyclone Aila was the second
tropical cyclone to form within the Northern
Indian Ocean during 2009. The disturbance that was to become Cyclone Aila formed on 21 May 2009 about 950 kilometres (590 mi) to the south of
Kolkata, in
India. Over the next couple of days the disturbance slowly developed before a Tropical Cyclone Formation Alert was issued by the
Joint Typhoon Warning Center early on 23 May 2009 and being designated as a depression by
RSMC New Delhi. As of 27 May 2009
[update], 330 people have been killed by Aila and at least 8,208 more are missing, while about 1 million are homeless. Health officials in
Bangladesh confirmed a deadly outbreak on diarrhea on 29 May, with more than 7,000 people being infected and four dying. In Bangladesh, an estimated 20 million people were at risk of post-disaster diseases due to Aila. Damage totaled $40.7 million (USD). Other tropical cyclone activity Tropical Depression One was the first tropical cyclone to develop during the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. The depression formed on May 28, out of a disorganized area of low pressure off the coast of North Carolina. However after attaining its peak strength the depression began to weaken due to increasing wind shear and cooling sea surface temperatures with the final advisory being issued on May 29.

Storm article statistics
Project News During the last week, some editors have organized a page — Wikipedia:WikiProject Tropical cyclones/Viewed stats — that has a listing of monthly page views within the project. It is under construction, although it is complete for all Eastern Pacific tropical cyclones, as well as all Atlantic tropical cyclones from 1979 to the present. Interestingly, the top 6 viewed EPAC articles are all featured, and all of the top 16 in the basin are GA's. Unfortunately, the Atlantic, at least from 1979 to the present, is much worse, despite being viewed much, much more. The top eight-viewed Atlantic articles all are viewed more than 10,000 times per month, for a total of 363889 views per month, but only two of them are featured, and none of the others are GA. As always, any help in the retired storms would be greatly appreciated. Somewhat tying into the bettering of project articles, the basin article challenge is still ongoing. Hurricanehink is currently in the lead with a GA in 2 basins. Cyclonebiskit is in 2nd, with one GA in the EPAC. The challenge is still open to anyone, and it is not so much a race, rather a challenge just to get a fairly important GA in each basin. WikiProject LGBT studies Newsletter (June 2009)
