Please, do not insult me by calling my edits "vandalism." I believe you had a point in putting the comments back, but I believe I had a point in removing them. There is still some debate about whether or not we, as third part editors, can remove personal attacks in Wikipedia. However, removing personal attacks and arguments that have no significance to the actual discussion is not vandalism and many people believe it should be wikipolicy. I've actually decided to leave the comments, as I feel it better to avoid the page now that I see it is a toxic environment. Please, when editing my edits, don't call them vandalism. You may definitely edit them, but don't try to insult me. Be condsiderate, even if you disagree with me. --User:Lulurascal
Hi PeaceNT,
Thanks for participating in my recent RfA. Even though it was ultimately successful (at 54-13-11), I value all of the feedback and have already benefited from the community's suggestions. Hope to see you around. - Gilliam 21:55, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Don't worry it is always helpful to get advice. What work, I see something that needs improvement, I improve it to the best of my ability, it's a hobby. I didn't add sources for the Sammy, Cron, Cash and Kai images because I got them from the actual TV episode .... using Youtube. Speaking of adding images, I might add some more now. trainra 07:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
Ok I Got It. Thanks. King Lopez 11:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
My request for adminship was closed a day early with a tally of 98/0/3, so I am now an administrator. Thanks very much for your confidence. If there's anything I can ever do to help, please don't hesitate to contact me. If I screw up, please feel free to let me know about that, too! Kafziel Talk 16:59, 8 February 2007 (UTC) |
I had a question regarding the Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mrs. Puff discussion that you marked as "Speedy Keep" after only a few comments and five hours on the afd forum. While I'm not sure I'm convinced the article should be deleted, I'm also not convinced it was a "Speedy Keep" since the nomination raised some seemingly valid points. In reviewing the article I noticed it has no references whatsoever, not even for fictional biographical information, and also seems to make no attempt to meet the "real world context or analysis" recommendations in WP:NOT#IINFO and WP:FICT. Certainly I was prepared to comment on those issues in the discussion, and it's possible other editors might have as well.
Which brings me to my question - you speedily kept the article, but made no other comments so I wasn't sure what the reasoning was for the speedy result, especially considering the complete lack of references in the article. What was the reason for the speedy close?
P.S. I have tagged the article as unreferenced, fyi, and I'll probably check back on it in a couple months to see if there's been improvement on that front. But I'd still be interested in hearing your thoughts on the article since I would normally nominate unref tagged articles that do not improve for deletion after a couple months. Thanks.

Thank you for the input and advice, it is very much appreciated. I promise to be more conscientious about clarifying my decisions from now on. Regards PeaceNT 11:32, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the replies, PeaceNT. I just want to make clear my main concern was that the discussion was speedily closed, effectively aborting any chance for most people to comment. The end result probably would have been "keep" or at worst "no consensus", but it still seemed premature to end the discussion after only five hours.
As far as the part of WP:FICT which explains that If an encyclopedic treatment of such a character causes the article on the work itself to become long, then that character can be given a separate article, that obviously assumes that the article is encyclopedic, which in turn requires that the article be verifiable and (hopefully) meets other policies and guidelines. The question is whether the treatment of a character is encyclopedic if it is unreferenced and contains no real-word context or analysis. Note that this obviously is a fairly broad policy question that delves into all character articles and plot articles, and is one reason why such articles receive so much heated debate on afds. I'm fairly sure there is a decent size camp of editors that could reasonably argue that if a section or article about a fictional character contains only fictional plot elements, then that section isn't encyclopedic and should be either trimmed down or deleted entirely. Obviously that also would imply that splitting off such plot-only sections into seperate articles likewise shouldn't occur.
Personally, I'm somewhat neutral on the concept. My main concern would be consistency in how characters are handled. But I'm pretty confident that the topic, if brought up on the WP:FICT talk page, would stir some good debate. Just something to possibly consider when closing these afd's.

PeaceNT/Archive 2 for your Support! |
Thanks for uploading Image:Bj2006.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created that provides substantially the same information. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:
{{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
, without deleting the original Replaceable fair use template.Alternatively, you can also choose to replace the fair use image by finding a freely licensed image of its subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or a similar) image under a free license, or by taking a picture of it yourself.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. MECU≈talk 16:04, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I need your help. I'm a noob here, not really femiliar with the way to do stuff But I found this post in the IDF talk page: "Consider this: Almost everything written about a Jew is either pro-jew or anti-jew. No Israeli is capable of actually telling the truth without exagerations in their favour. Be prepared to be critical on whatever the U.S or Israel has to say about themselves or each other, after all, they are in the war on Islam together now arn't they? Hitler was right.."
I don't know what can or should be done. Sorry if I posted in the wrong place.

Thanks for helping out.

I know that an editor is at liberty to remove comments from their talk-page (although it is frowned upon). But it is bad-faith, and unacceptable behaviour, to accuse the other editors of 'vandalism' or 'abusive writings' when that is clearly not the case, which is what I was noting - look at de Fanel's edit summaries in the diffs. Michaelsanders 12:56, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for supporting my RfA. It was successful at a unanimous 52/0/0. I hope I can live up to the kind words expressed of me there, and hope to now be more of an asset to the community with access to the tools. Please feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any suggestions for me in the future. Thanks again! VegaDark 07:16, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
