Hello Cyclopia and welcome to Wikipedia! Hope you like it here, and stick around.
AfD
Hi, Cyclopia. It's probably best to avoid describing AfD nominations as "nonsensical" [1], as it sounds a lot like a personal attack on the nominator. I think it's better just to say something like the nomination doesn't seem to be based on any policy. Dricherby (talk) 14:53, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for June 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Timeline of food, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Britain and Crackers (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Actually, if you'd looked more carefully, you'd have seen that what you call "nonsense" is actually the personal recollections of a 63-year-old army veteran with a poor grasp of English who doesn't know how to edit Wikipedia very well.
It wasn't suitable for the article (and the editor is long gone), but please spend a little more time investigating when you see stuff like this. Somebody might need help. Thanks. — Scott • talk 22:44, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks for your heads up (It doesn't make it any less nonsense in the article context, but I agree I could have been more sensitive in my wording). -- cyclopiaspeak! 10:31, 8 July 2013 (UTC)

DYK for NGC 6811

Doublethink
There's a difference between my edits and Dream Focus' edits. Dream Focus posted to ARS. I didn't post to any noticeboards or talk pages. Places DF's canvassed: 1. Places I've canvassed: 0. I don't understand why you, DF and Warden are so defensive whenever I nominate something for deletion and/or express displeasure at the ARS pbp 15:04, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- The point is that posting to ARS is no more canvassing than posting to AFD: people with your wiki-philosophies have it in their watchlist, after all. I am not defensive when you nominate something for deletion: heck, I even agreed with the !delete in the case in point. The problem with the ARS instead is that you are entitled to dislike the ARS, but you are not entitled to relentlessly accuse a wikiproject of canvassing or questioning its legitimacy without evidence and/or consensus -that is highly disruptive and just creates drama. The ARS is an open, legitimate (as per consensus) wikiproject. If you disagree with its aims or perceived "agenda", just put it in your watchlist and follow the AfD's therein listed, as no doubt you already do. Easy peasy. -- cyclopiaspeak! 15:11, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- Just because a months-old discussion had 51% of people saying that the ARS could continue doesn't mean that you are immune to future accusations of canvassing. Nearly every article nominated for rescue gets a Keep from Dream Focus and a Keep from Warden; this was no exception. In many cases, those two vote Keep without editing the article, or certainly improving it, and often they vote Keep without citing a relevant policy or guideline. Honest politicians is an exception to that because Warden created the article to prove a POINT about American public officials convicted of crimes, an AfD closed with the rationale "No policy based keep !votes" when the two people voting Keep where Dream Focus and Warden, who rather than cite any policies or guidelines, accused the nominator of bad faith. These two AfDs are textbook examples of the ARS just coming out to !vote without any real policy or guidelines to back them up. Another thing they are an example of is Warden's continual need to berate me or any other person who votes Delete. The fact that Warden and DF are so hostile to people who vote delete has resulted in me disliking ARS and all it stands for pbp 15:38, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
- "doesn't mean that you are immune to future accusations of canvassing." Every editor and wikiproject oughts to be immune to unfounded accusations. Do you have proof for that? If so, AN/I is that-a-way.
- "Nearly every article nominated for rescue gets a Keep from Dream Focus and a Keep from Warden" - So do many articles not listed at ARS. So what? You just found out DF and CW are inclusionists (and I am too, btw, even if perhaps slightly less). What a resounding discovery. But this is no proof of canvassing at all: it is just proof that two ARS-active editors happen also to have a certain philosophy in the wiki. Canvassing would be if someone went calling them and only them on their talk pages, or if the ARS was a secret or near-secret page no deletionist editor is aware of.
- "In many cases, those two vote Keep without editing the article, or certainly improving it" - So what? I am not a great fan of WP:HEY either, our policies demand us to evaluate the article subject, not its current state, to judge for its suitability, per WP:ATD. Sometimes I did such improvements, sometimes I don't. It depends on the case.
- "These two AfDs are textbook examples of the ARS just coming out to !vote without any real policy or guidelines to back them up."' - If you have problems with these two editors, stick to that, and don't put the whole ARS in.
- "Warden's continual need to berate me or any other person who votes Delete." - Sorry but that's hypocrisy at its best. You accuse a wikiproject of canvassing without proof. You accuse editors of having been canvassed without proof. You disregard the consensus that legitimates a wikiproject. You go harassing these editors on their talk pages, over and over, accusing them of wikihounding and what else, and then you whine because they politely argue with you on AFD debates? Grow up. -- cyclopiaspeak! 17:05, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
