== Matrix problem == |
|||
I saw you deleted [[Governors and premiers of First Republic Nigerian regions]]. Not really a problem, but it would have been more polite to drop me a note first. |
|||
I am trying to solve the problem of putting a set of related bios into a matrix. Vertical: who held the same position at different times? Horizontal: who held similar positions at the same time? I want to link the horizontal groups vertically: who held that set of positions before and after? And I am trying to avoid redundancy of lists through transclusion. See [[Christian Onoh]] for a typical example of a thumbnail bio. There are two navboxes at the bottom. The "vertical" one transcludes a table which is also transluded into [[List of all Nigerian state governors]], and the horizontal one gives links below the table to articles that basically just hold the navboxes for the prior and following groups. I don't like to put links to the templates themselves. |

Have you come across this type of issue before? I am looking for examples of good solutions... [[User:Aymatth2|Aymatth2]] ([[User talk:Aymatth2|talk]]) 00:26, 4 June 2010 (UTC) |

Bearcat
Hello TexasAndroid!
Sorry to hear that Bearcat deleted what you did as well. He has no respect for what other people do. He just trashes it, and he will argue with you that he is right. He should change his name to BearAss! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.254.46.243 (talk) 20:50, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
- 66, familiarize yourself with (a) Wikipedia policy, and (b) what actually happened here. It's not at all consistent with anything you think it was. Bearcat (talk) 00:24, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
- Yep. Bearcat ran afoul of a *very* obscure part of the project, Soft Redirects. I'm one of the few people on the project who know about them, let alone particularly care. He was also not helped by the fact that the Soft Redirect had been converted into a policy violating page. Given the page at the time it was deleted, his actions were proper. I happened to know a bit more about the history of the page, though, and politely asked him to reconsider in light of the information I had. He did, and I consider the issue to be closed. - TexasAndroid (talk) 22:38, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, nice to meet you again.You know me already.And I would like to say I'm sorry for acting like a jerk.But please we need to talk about this and clear it up! I need your forgiveness to move on with my life. YOu said I was vandalizing! I felt misunderstood and picked on! I was one of the best wikipedians there ever was if you asked me.Do you think so? I'm not vandalizing your page! We just need to get past this! Sincerly yours Casesamong! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.25.243.130 (talk) 16:03, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Thank you so much for fixing those categories. I know it was a long time ago, but I'm just now looking through some of my work. I copied the template for the page from the Phoenix Arizona Temple so that's why it was messed up. Again, thank you. Carter | Talk to me 18:39, 27 February 2010 (UTC)
Hi, I wanted to move this page to Renaldo Kalari, but this is currently a redirect to the SK Tirana team page (which you set up in September 2007!) I can't move the 'football' page across because the other page already exists, but in the apparent absence of another Renaldo Kalari it makes sense to lose the (footballer) from the article. Can you help? Thanks. Eldumpo (talk) 09:39, 28 February 2010 (UTC)

Auditory memory
Hi I have not been an editor as such for about 10 months now, just keeping a watch on articles which fall in my areas of interest. Auditory memory is a multi-layered topic which should include topics such as short term auditory memory, long term auditory memory, and more. Echoic memory is only one of the many topic s which should be included. I went to begin researching Auditory Memory, at PubMed etc, but the technical information went over my head so there is a need for some professional level of input to create and expand the required article so that it includes all of the wide range of related information required. May be you could help find such contributors dolfrog (talk) 10:16, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
Your deletion of "Calorie Restriction Society"
Hey there,
I'm going to recreate the Calorie Restriction Society page (and, this time, indicate the group's importance, which you thought was a problem). Could you send me the page in the state it was in when it was deleted? Or tell me how to find the text? (I'm a beginner here, sorry.) Thanks BWP1234 (talk) 10:42, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
Conrad Lynn
I think you were a bit quick to delete Conrad Lynn. The Harvard Crimson article referred to in it establishes his notability. Please also see my post to the editor who made the speedy deletion nomination, User:C1k3, for more explanation. Can you bring back the article? In case you forgot, you did the deletion around 04:00 on 13 May -- Ong saluri (talk) 05:54, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
You're a tool
All four members of Coldplay get their own biographies, but House Counsel for Iran Contra John W. Nields Jr., who has been discussed in multiple books, and in the articles for cover stories in Time and Newsweek in the 1980s, the New York Times etc. doesn't even get a delete but a speedy delete? You are a fucking tool.
I had the epiphany that Wikipedia was a lost cause a long time ago, but dorks like you, or whatever you call yourself..."WikiGnome" have it sinking lower in the sewer.
And you call yourself a computer programmer as well. Thank god I don't have to deal with the crap spaghetti code that you are surely putting out.
Why don't you show me what a tough guy you are and ban me or something. God, what a twerp. An incompetent twerp. Ruy Lopez (talk) 05:59, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Hmm, Insults. Not exactly the best way to persuade someone to see things your way. - TexasAndroid (talk) 11:53, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Anyway, if what you say in your first paragraph about him is true, then he likely does meet the notability requirements. It would have been nice if there was something in the article that said such. There was not. - TexasAndroid (talk) 11:57, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
I moved it to a template to protect it from vandalism. An un-reg user kept changing the article to his own make-belive numbers. Sorry for the trouble mate. Recon.Army (talk) 09:02, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Not the way to do it. Sorry. - TexasAndroid (talk) 11:58, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
No need keep errors
Hello, there is no need to incorporate errors into article history as you did with Maoraxidae. This is not need and it is harmful. You probably thought that you have kept important article history, but all gastropod related articles with one sentence have more or less the same universal introductory sentence. --Snek01 (talk) 13:50, 13 May 2010 (UTC)
- Sorry, but as per the terms of the GFDL license, under which all WP text is released, preserving the history trail of a page is required. Mistakes and all. Cut&Paste moves are never the proper way to fix the names of articles. - TexasAndroid (talk)
Infobox
The reason I got rid of the status, relatives and the ilk is because it's no longer on the infobox. Brian Boru is awesome (talk) 15:41, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

Deleted article
Hello, you deleted the article "Amritt, Inc." on 13th May, due to notability issues. I've been working on a new draft of the page and I've tried to find more secondary sources that meet the notability requirements. I was wondering if you could take a look at the page and tell me if there's any chance it could make it. Thanks and sorry to bother. CillaИ ♦ XC 00:11, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- I've looked through the references listed, and I really do not see that any show that the company meets the notability requirements given at WP:CORP. To meet these requirements, a reference must be independent, reliable, and non-trivial. And when it comes to using references to specifically establish notability, they need to be coverage of the company itself. The references listed either fail one of the three key aspects, or are not really about the company. Articles on outsourcing that mention the company's reports are articles about outsourcing, not about Amritt, I'm afraid.
- With your new article, I would likely not speedy delete it again, but I also suspect that if a full deletion debate was begun on it, the outcome would still likely end in a deletion, IMHO. - TexasAndroid (talk) 04:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- All right, thanks. CillaИ ♦ XC 12:59, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Disambiguation pages
I noticed you undid all the work I did on the disambiguation page for Hennuttawy. I understand the fact that what I did was against the standard way of doing things, but I actually had links on several pages pointing to this new disambiguation page. And sorry about my part of this :-) I'm not always aware of the "proper etiquette" for naming the page. I thought the disambiguation part of the title actually made more sense since it clearly identifies the page for what it is. But I will of course try to work within the standards here. I put my text on the page, because I think it may help people to known the names as used in the literature (f.i Hennutawy C). I realized I could have adapted Alensha's text, but thought about that after I made the changes. Ugh, the links work and the information on the pages is correct so that's (hopefully) what counts.

Restoring/moving my deleted article to Special:MyPage
I'm new to wikipedia and I'm sure I did something wrong when I added some website info for thisishowyouplay.com, but is there a way you can move the text/markup to Special:MyPage/This Is How You Play ? I kinda worked for a few hours on that, and I'd like to back it up while I figure out what I did wrong.
Christorea (talk) 05:33, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- The page has been placed at User:Christorea/This Is How You Play. Please read WP:ORG for notability requirements. Basically, you need independent media coverage of the organization. If such coverage does not exist, then you may be fighting a losing battle trying to get the article onto the project. - TexasAndroid (talk) 11:50, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
Incorrect deletion of WA First entry
You have deleted the WA First entry twice. This is a political party that has lodged a registration with the Australian Electoral Commission having attained the necessary 500 members and therefore will be contesting the next Australian Federal election. The party has gathered considerable media interest in Australia, as per this page: www.wafirst.iinet.net.au/media.htm. By visiting that page you can follow links that shows the party has been featured on national television, print and radio in Australia. In all 21 articles have been featured across a variety of Australian media over the past week. Surely this rates as of significant enough interest to have an entry in Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.169.86.156 (talk) 14:44, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
- At a minimum that sounds like enough to invalidate my speedy deletion, though I'm still not sure it would survive a full deletion debate. It's now back. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:52, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Justin Taylor (composer) deletion
Not sure what your looking for in this article to make it contend for Wikipedia. You stated significance of figure? I stated that Taylor's music is played all over the world by various orchestras and performers. He puts releases out on a regular basis. I referenced everything properly. I'm not sure what sort of information I left out for it to be speedy deleted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gebo84 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
- Please read WP:BIO, and particularly [WP:COMPOSER]]. If you can tell me exactly which of the six criteria he meets (or which of the five in the following section), and provide independent references to prove it, then you are well on the way to showing that he meet's the project's notability criteria. - TexasAndroid (talk) 19:10, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of File:Soldiers aid Haiti refugees.jpg
A tag has been placed on File:Soldiers aid Haiti refugees.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Stan James speedy delete
You speedy deleted this article when Stan James is a major bookmaker (and company not person) in the UK. Involved in sponsoring many sports.

Christopher Connor (talk) 23:34, 2 June 2010 (UTC)
- Which elements of WP:CORP does it meet? I'm looking for which specific criteria from that link are met? If you cannot show which criteria are met, then I'm sorry, but it simply does not meet the project's definition of notability. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:07, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

- Read through WP:MUSIC, especially the WP:BAND section. You need to be able to show exactly which listed criteria the group meets. And provide independent references to support that they are met. If the group does not meet any of the criteria, then you are likely fighting a lost cause in trying to give them an article here. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:10, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
