Deletion review for Adelina Domingues
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Adelina Domingues. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Thebirdlover (talk) 23:51, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
- The reason I nominated it for deletion review was because it was originally deleted and did not have community consensus or your permission before it was remade. I personally like it but I think a review is necessary for all articles that go under that criteria as long as they aren't blatant remakes of the original deleted articles. --Thebirdlover (talk) 23:55, 28 December 2012 (UTC)
GA review
Hi. I saw you closed that. I was editing it and hit save a few minutes after you made the changes, not that I was trying to re-open it or whatever. I don't agree with the outcome, but I respect that there was not a consensus. Quite honestly I don't think the problem with the article was ever properly addressed. I was pretty surprised by the language used by other editors. For example User:Malleus Fatuorum did a revision on a related article with the edit summary "Cornellier is an ignorant idiot who can't tell his arse from his elbow". I feel quite discouraged from even editing the article if this is the kind of treatment I'll get. Do you have any comments and advice about this process? --Cornellier (talk) 01:47, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- I have. Put more thought into what you are doing. You pointed to comments on the talk page, for example. Those comments dated from 2006, however, when the article looked like this. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ferret legging was in 2006. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ferret legging (2nd nomination) was in 2006. Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ferret legging (3rd nomination) was in 2009, when the article looked like this. During that AFD discussion two editors decided to do some (more) article rescue. Then you come along, three years later, referring back to the 2006 discussions, and completely ignoring what is in the three intervening AFD discussions that address the points of using books as sources and whether this is a hoax. You shouldn't be surprised that you receive push-back from people who clearly think that you didn't make any effort at all to get things straight before leaping in hamfistedly. You didn't even check out the timeline of the talk page discussion against the article history.
Unfortunately, there exist in the world people who don't apply Hanlon's razor. Like this person they assume malice, and that people are "dishonest" and "liars" (and indeed, mother-, sister-, and dog- fuckers, as you can see), on the parts of people whom they disagree with. Hanlon's razor militates against the assumption of malice and dishonesty. But it doesn't erase charges of carelessness and no application of thought.
If you'd gone to the talk page with a very different approach, indicating that you'd followed the prior discussions, read the article, and read the cited sources, you'd have met quite a different response. ("I've read the article, the past three AFD discussions, and the various sources cited, and their criteria for what is a sport are seemingly overgenerous. I suspect that they might be treating that aspect of the subject somewhat frivolously. This is supported by at least two of the sources, that trace this back to a music-hall act done in pubs by Ken Campbell and company in the early 1970s, clearly not a world-record whatever the pub entertainers may have styled themselves, and a third source that actually talks about official refusal to recognize this as a sport or grant any sort of record status.") But you didn't.
Try, from now on, to put yourself in the place of the author of ice canoe when someone comes to Talk:Ice canoe saying "This is a hoax, and not a genuine sport. Canoes aren't made of ice. When I put it into Google Books the first result that comes up is an Introduction to the Study of the Book of Mormon, so clearly this isn't true.". Would you be annoyed by someone who didn't do the research or even reading of the article to see what it actually said? Then do the same research and reading yourself that you'd expect others to do.
- Your wise words may be worth saving to rework into a user essay.
- A reference to Hanlon's razor would have resulted in my being indefinitely indefinitely blocked. Kiefer.Wolfowitz 14:50, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for your thoughtful and insightful remarks, Uncle G. You're correct in deducing that I didn't check carefully through the history of the article. I guess my thinking at the time was that what seemed obvious to me would be obvious to everyone. As we've seen, this was far from the case, and didn't result in any productive work getting done. I shall attempt to apply your suggestions to the talk page of the article, though I admit to being a little discouraged about the possible reactions of other editors given the this report on the administrators' noticeboard/incidents. Thanks also for the hint about ice canoe, I believe the author is working on it now. --Cornellier (talk) 21:02, 29 December 2012 (UTC)
Tamaskan Dog
Hi, I'm not sure if it's correct etiquette for me to ask you or not so please just ignore me if it's not okay! I was just curious about the AfD for Tamaskan Dog that you closed as 'keep' yesterday. Although I nominated it for deletion I had never edited it and have no problem with it being kept; maybe I shouldn't say but I actually find it quite entertaining to watch all the disputes that go on with it . It's just I do think the references are dubious and most of the time would have been removed from other articles? AfD is not something I know a lot about and although it's not an area I'm likely to have much involvement with, I try to learn about things as I'm going along so I'm less likely to make mistakes a second time.
