Why oh why
Why do you kee deleting the Sugababes pictures that I uploaded and you kept replacing them with your own uploaded pictures just like the Red Dress screenshot? you know they were here like 5 years ago and no one removed them until you got here. --SuperHotWiki (talk) 23:53, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
- Cause it didn't have any copyright information and the image was poor quality. Till 04:45, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 6
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Push the Button (Sugababes song), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Daily Record (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.

Delisting articles
The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Hi Till. Thanks for your interest in Good article quality control. If you wish to delist an article there is a process that you should go through. The first step is to create a reassessment page listing the problems with the article. Then you contact relevant editors and wikiprojects to give them a chance to save the article. If no one responds or the fixes are not satisfactory then the article can be delisted. You have a choice of an individual reassessment or community one (individuals are the easiest). This is important because the main aim is to get articles to Good quality, usually someone has out in a lot of effort to get it to Good status so we should give them a chance to fix it and even if no one responds there is a record of what needs fixing in case someone else comes along and wants to get it back up to standard. As such I have reverted your delisting of Stargate (production team) for this reason. I have no comment on its quality at this stage, if you want to reassess it add {{subst:GAR}} at the top of the talk page and follow the instructions. Regards AIRcorn (talk) 06:24, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Oh please, don't lecture me like I'm some noob that just started editing. For your information, I have delisted many articles in the past through individual reassessment; see this and this for good examples. The StarGate article is eligible for immediate removal of GA status because it is tagged. Till 06:28, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- No it is not. I will start the GAR for you. AIRcorn (talk) 06:32, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Started Talk:Stargate (production team)/GA2. AIRcorn (talk) 06:36, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Yes it is. Notice how if you look here, the article history template states: "If it no longer meets these criteria, you can delist it, or ask for a reassessment." So yes I am correct when I say that the article can be delisted without a reassessment. Till 06:50, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Started a thread here to get clarification on this issue. AIRcorn (talk) 07:48, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- This delisting was inappropriate, because it gives no rationale as to why the article was delisted. Furthermore, [1] is an inappropriate use of Twinkle; that was clearly not vandalism. --Rschen7754 08:17, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- The delisting was not inappopriate because any Good article that is tagged should be eligible for immediate delisting. And the vandalism revert was a complete accident. I thought I had clicked on the regular Rollback (in the middle), but didn't realise it was the wrong Rollback. Till 08:21, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
But you miss the point: even that rollback is for reverting vandalism only, not for warring over tags. And yes, you are technically allowed to immediately delist,but you must provide some sort of rationale in a /GA2 subpage. However, that is a bad idea for something like a copyedit, because it would be better to copyedit the article yourself, and then we still have a GA. --Rschen7754 08:24, 13 October 2012 (UTC)- Looked at the WP:GAR page, and it turns out I'm wrong. Please read those instructions in their entirety. --Rschen7754 08:27, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- Well the article history template states if an article no longer meets the GA criteria, "you can delist it, or ask for a reassessment". Delisting it is exactly what I did—besides, now the article definitely doesn't meet the GA criteria because of instability. Issues have also been raised by a third-party editor at the reassessment page, showing that the article needs more than just a "copyedit". Till 08:32, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- I am not too fussed by the vandalism label, it was obviously an accident as their other reverts did not contain it. I am concerned about your rationals for delisting though. How is the article unstable[2] You don't mean the two reverts over the GA tag do you. AIRcorn (talk) 08:33, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- The delisting process is the same as the individual reassessment process at WP:GAR. Furthermore, WP:GAR takes precedence over any template instructions; {{ArticleHistory}} is not maintained by the GA project. --Rschen7754 08:37, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
- The article was delisted for being tagged with a copyedit notice. If you take a look at the good article criteria, a valid rationale for a quickfail is having a banner on the article. To be honest I think that applies here. Btw Aircorn I'm saying that the article is now unstable because of this. Till 08:41, 13 October 2012 (UTC)

You made a good faith delist and I made a good faith effort to follow process when delisting. At the end of the day we will hopefully end up with clearer instructions. We need more people doing quality control in Good articles and hopefully we can all learn from this. AIRcorn (talk) 08:56, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
