Hi, and welcome to my User Talk page! For new discussions, please add your comments at the very bottom and use a section heading (e.g., by using the "+" tab, or, depending on your settings, the "new section" tab at the top of this page). I will respond on this page unless specifically requested otherwise. I dislike talk-back templates and fragmented discussions. If I post on your page you may assume that I will watch it for a response. If you post here I will assume the same (and that you lost interest if you stop following the discussion).
IF YOU CAME HERE BECAUSE I DELETED AN ARTICLE: Please see WP:REFUND first. Thanks.

Request procedural guidance
Today, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colors Kannada closed with redirects. Please see Talk:Colors (Viacom 18)#Improvident move, and let me know what you would suggest as the next procedural move. I do not wish to become involved in an edit war. --Bejnar (talk) 16:08, 10 October 2015 (UTC)
- Hi, I'm not familiar with the subject and currently very busy in RL, so I have no time to look into this. Perhaps you can pose the question at the Village Pump? Sorry! --Randykitty (talk) 07:45, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
David V. Chartrand, journalist-author
Randy -- I am new to Wikipedia and authored the David V. Chartrand page. I don't understand why the page is subject to deletion. Can you explain, and can you give me some guidance on how to proceed? Would it be better if I went the route of creating a draft and submitting it to Wiki editors instead of immediate publishing, the route I chose?
Thanks.

- At this point, the article is not written in a neutral and encyclopedic tone. If it gets deleted, creating a draft and going through the "articles for creation" process would certainly be better. Article creation is one of the harder things to do on WP. In general, it is better first to gain some experience by editing other articles, getting a feel of our policies and guidelines, and then start creating articles. Hope this helps. --Randykitty (talk) 16:42, 13 October 2015 (UTC)
List of science fiction magazines
I'm not sure this edit [1] was entirely correct! The original article editor appears to be listing both magazines that contain science fiction (e.g. Interzone) and magazines that write about SF (e.g. SFX, which contains no original fiction), in which case, it perhaps ought to be 'List of science fiction and science fiction-related magazines'. As such it muddles the two, see the article's Talk page, where I have also mentioned this. Not sure what to do about it, frankly! Stephenb (Talk) 11:23, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- I'm not a great admirer of this kind of lists a they basically are categories masquerading as lists. I have no problem with a change in title. --Randykitty (talk) 11:48, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
