Perhaps a good use of an eager user's time would be to be to contribute to such articles and see if the overall state of Wikipedia could be improved that way, rather than liberal use of delete markers or conversations about signatures.

Merge discussion for Crichie
An article that you have been involved in editing, Crichie , has been proposed for a merge with another article. If you are interested in the merge discussion, please participate by going here, and adding your comments on the discussion page. Thank you. Baldy Bill (talk) 00:50, 27 January 2013 (UTC) The article appears to refer to an old name for the same settlement, so it would seem to make sense to keep the title as a redirect and put the note about the bishop into the Stuartfield article.

BeerXML
Hi. You're clearly an experienced contributor who should know the guidelines on Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability. I'm afraid I don't buy your argument that this is not a promotional article. It very obviously focuses on the positive features of the product and therefore I've deleted it. Deb (talk) 18:47, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for backing off. It might be nice if you apologised.
The article BeerXML has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Unsourced, unref'd, fails to meet any known notability criteria.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 17:30, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Nomination of BeerXML for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article BeerXML is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BeerXML until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 17:46, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Your recent edits
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:
- Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
- With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.
This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 02:10, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Please stop attacking other editors, as you did on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BeerXML. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 07:41, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
- Some people do not like being disagreed with, particuarly if they know they are wrong, that does not constitute an attack. Devils In Skirts! (talk) 13:06, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
Please do not attack other editors, as you did on Talk: BeerXML. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi 16:31, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
I can see from your user talk page that you get several of these yourself. You are deliberately provoking other users and then templating them if they respond to you. You pretend to misunderstand reasonable points that are made to explain to you why you are wrong and do so in a way that is deliberately designed to infuriate the person whose page you are trying to delete. You refuse to justify your actions or to respond to reasonable requests to clarify the vague aassertions that you make.
I have asked you multiple times to back up the vague and contradictary assertions you make, but you then change the subject. There are no grounds for deletion of this page apart from notability, which is up for debate. Devils In Skirts! (talk) 16:42, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
- Incidentally, if you persist in using that signature, I'm going to be submitting an Rfc about it. Deb (talk) 10:23, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- You could have backed up your claims about the article to justify its deletion as I have asked you to several times. Instead you issue a threat to report my sig (but fail to say why).That's pretty desparate stuff. Please go ahead and do that. Its been my sig for years and there's nothing wrong with it.
Threats aside: I've been looking at the other XML Schemas that have Wikipedia pages; lists of which are at:
List_of_XML_markup_languages and List_of_XML_schemas (candidates for merger).
What is immediately apparent is the multiplicity of them and the wide variety of different uses such schemas are put to. Many (if not most) of the entities listed there have far fewer users than BeerXML and are even more narrow in their scope. It is notable that few, is any, of them have had to go through this unpleasant birthing procedure. Needless to say, few of them are commercial products (although some have proprietary licences) and many of the articles have fewer citations and are less detailed.
Perhaps a good use of an eager user's time would be to be to contribute to such articles and see if the overall state of Wikipedia could be improved that way, rather than liberal use of delete markers or conversations about signatures. Devils In Skirts! (talk) 10:56, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
- You do realise though that in the thousand{s} of words you have expended on the subject, you have at no point yet demonstrated its notability? re. signatures, I might know what you mean, but if others find it offensive, or it is likely to be misunderstood, then you should change it.
