Concerning your antagonist RS: I have learned in the past that he never makes mistakes in reasoning -- just ask him -- and the only way to resolve a conflict with him is to offer that you, and perhaps others, may also be in the wrong. In that case, he will likely concede your point and admit a fault. Then he'll top it off with a fresh assertion of his general excellence in comparison to everyone else, particularly you. That's your cue to end the discussion, with his ego properly inflated. |
|||
The good news is that, despite this fault, he does often collaborate well even with ideological opponents on some articles (although not without periodic putdowns). I have yet to encounter another ego of these dimensions on Wikipedia, and I suspect a block would only convince him that the blocking admin is feeble-minded. Hope this helps. -- <span style="font-family:serif;font-weight:bold;">[[User:Alarob|Rob C.]] alias [[User_talk:Alarob|Alarob]]</span> 05:47, 28 September 2007 (UTC) |

Unity (submarine cable)
Hello. Just letting you know that I restored Unity (submarine cable). I'm not quite sure why you would want to delete this article. It is properly sourced and the cable itself is a fairly well-known project. I'll concede that there was a problem with an unclosed ref tag but I fixed that. Cheers, Pascal.Tesson 22:52, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
- It was initially just an infobox. Then it was a single sentence and an infobox. Once it actually said something and had references, I didn't touch it. IrishGuy talk 22:53, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
Placeholder Rule deletion
Hello. There is no specific context because the context is universal. The reason to start a "Placeholder Rule" article on Wikipedia is to foster collaboration, and to define it. A few years back my professor used a proof to show that 3.999(9s to infinity) equals 4. The proof came down to the Placeholder Rule. I asked, "What is the Placeholder Rule?" He replied, "I don't know." We cannot find the definition of Placeholder Rule. Therefore, I/we remain skeptics until the Placeholder Rule is brought to light. Please reconsider. Thanks --Funbangers 21:20, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
- Wikipedia doesn't allow original research. IrishGuy talk 21:26, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
I'm sorry, do I have to post the source before I finish typing the article. It's not my research and I have a source. May I repost the article under the condition that I cite the source before typing the article. Thanks --Funbangers 01:46, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- Above you stated: We cannot find the definition of Placeholder Rule. As such, how can you provide a source? IrishGuy talk 02:07, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
I wrote, "a few years back." Anyway, I'm not lying. You can view the source and decide as soon as I get this particular source cited. And my hope is that more sources will be found and added to this article in the future. Unforntunately, they are very hard to find for some reason. Is that acceptable? thanks --Funbangers 02:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
... cannot find THE definition, but rather various unorthodox interpretations be it in class or debate. Not even in my mathematics encyclopedia. --Funbangers 02:20, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Disputing deletion of text/picture additions to Beat Generation page
Dear Irishguy,
I'm writing you to contest the deletion of the Gregory Corso pictures and content from the Beat Generation page. Gregory Corso was in fact one of the original four (4) "Beats." I would like you to show me what documentation you have to prove otherwise. I have a comprehensive bibliography of all of Corso's work, 200 hours of film and tape including footage with him and his lifelong friend Allen Ginsberg, and all of his personal letters to and from Burroughs, Ginsberg, and Kerouac that have been hand-collected by numerous institutions (Stanford, Harvard, Brown, University of Chicago, San Francisco State, New York Public Library).
I was a researcher for a documentary film on Gregory Corso and the Beats. I have not posted any information or pictures that mislead or misrepresent the Beats, the Beat Generation, or Gregory Corso's relationship to it.
If you wish, I would be happy to exchange personal email to further discuss this.
Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Noncorporeal (talk • contribs) 18:21, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
- As the article itself even notes, Kerouac, Ginsberg, and Burroughs all knew each other well before Ginsberg met Corso. To add numerous photos of Corso to an article about the literary group is adding undue weight to Corso. Adding nothing but Corso photos does mislead and misrepresent his impact in the movement.

Hotel_Metropolis
Dear IrishGuy
Please advise what was considered blatant advertising (or even advertising for that matter) on the Hotel Metropolis page. I only including facts about the hotel itself and it's history. I have rewritten this article more that once an do not believe I used any information to promote the hotel.
Please advise as I am getting extremely frustrated. Thank you Hoteltravel 22:30, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
Excuse me
I am being asked by an author to write about her. I was in the process of setting up this entry when you (rather rudely) deleted it. If neccesary, I can give you her credentials, however it may be of some help to note that some of her colleagues have pages (Zadie Smith, Benjamin Zephiniah, Linton Kwesi Johnson). If you could kindly explain why this was done, I might be able to come to some sort of agreement as to how to get this page up.
Thank you,

deleted bio
dear Irish guy the page posted regarding the biography of Andrew Tomaszewski is for a project in a college class. The page is my only grade and if deleted will result in me receiving a F. However ridiculous the page may seem it is to show people how anyone can edit incorrectly or slanderize a page that should be 100% correct seeing as it was written by myself. Please allow me to repost the biography of Andrew Tomaszewski and make sure it remains.

Slither
Hi, I see that you were the admin that dealt with the situation regarding the sockpuppetry of Tromaintern. He seems to have continued being disruptive not just at Slither (2006 film) with this edit summary, and he has apparently followed my contributions at Cloverfield, reverting my edit with a mocking edit summary based on my previous edit summary on Slither here. The editor seems to be disruptive despite the consensus against him on Slither and is acting maliciously against other editors. I was wondering if you could take a look at the situation. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 03:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
External Link: The Vivarium
For some reason, it seems you have deleted the link to the Vivarium which contains an extensive and ongoing conversation about the works of Alan Moore by the most hardcore of Watchmen fans. The information and insight there makes this Wikipedia article look like the rehash of a kindergartner. Yet you deleted it as a spam link.
The Vivarium is a free site with absolutely no ads and no profit. Just a focus on Alan Moore's work, particularly Watchmen.
In the future, perhaps you should check out a site before you delete a link. Thanks.
You may respond to me at:
vinsonlwatkins@aol.com
When I have sufficient time, I plan to fix this Watchmen article so that it is much more comprehensive and far more detailed concerning character, plot, and especially themes and symbolism. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince Watkins (talk • contribs) 06:02, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Joy Abbott
Hi Irishguy,
You deleted my page today for Joy Abbott: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joy_Abbott Under (CSD A7 (Bio): Biographical article that does not assert significance)
I would like to contest this deletion. Mrs. Abbott is the wife of Broadway baron George Abbott, who already has a Wikipedia page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Abbott
Besides being his wife, she has made many contributions to Broadway, Theatre and Jazz. So much so that at Temple University they will be renaming their school of performing arts to the "George and Joy Abbott School". She has also recently released her own CD of Jazz standards. I am not sure how you could say that her bio does not assert significance.
Please reconsider the deletion of this article. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Opihinet (talk • contribs) 01:49, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Jose Arguelles "fandal" (fan + vandal)
Thank you for once again reverting 207.6.93.238's vandalism of the Jose Arguelles article...as you can see by the page's history, 207.6.93.238 did the same thing four days ago, and both then and now, the vandalism has been reported. (Administrator CJLL Wright responded, earlier). 'Caycedgar' is probably a sockpuppet for 207.6.93.238. 69.152.169.99 04:24, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Dear Irishguy, yesterday I've posted a short article about data visualization company called Miner3D that we use their products at our university. I've found that Wikipedia hosts similar articles about their competitors. My question is why you have deleted my post when there are clearly many other articles (Spotfire, Applix, Cognos...) that has been included. Please explain how my article is commercial so then I can improve my future posts?
