[edit] Happy New Year, Anthony.bradbury

Wishing you the best for 2008! Acalamari 22:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Also, thanks again for the nomination earlier this year. I've almost been an admin for six months now; I hope I have lived up to your expectations. :) Acalamari 22:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the kind words. Acalamari 17:44, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Reply on Username.

Hello Anthony. bradbury. This is WikiSandbox1 and I am replying on behaf of myself.

I would just like to be aware that the username I chose was something for me to remember. Though I would ask you not to worry about it because other people get envoved and then it becomes a big hassal.

When I created this account it was hard to find a username because all the ideas had were already taken. So the only thing I remembered was the sandbox (previous experiences)

Can I ask you something? How did you that I was indending to be a serious contributer to Wikipedia.

I would like to ask you something, if you are writing a complaint, could you please write you complaint in the complaint section of my talk page. I know its annoying but it just keeps everything neat. I would appericiate that.

Dont worry, because I could predict that someone else will remide me.

[edit] Armenian Forgeries

Thanks for the note on the Armenian Forgeries article. I'm still figuring out how to apply the speedy deletion criteria. I have watchlisted the page, so I'll make sure it goes to AfD if the prod tag is removed. Karanacs (talk) 21:25, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Editing Under the Influence

Hello AB. I was perusing WP:KEEPCOOL as I sometimes do, and noticed that the above-noted essay had become a redlink. I am wondering if you might be willing to list it at MfD rather than deleting it just yet? I am not expressing an opinion about whether it should be deleted, as I have only a vague recollection of it, having last looked at it many months ago. Also, I am not sure if some of it might be mergeable into WP:KEEPCOOL#Drink minimal amounts of alcohol. Thanks. Cheers, --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 17:02, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay, thanks for that. Now that I can read it, I can see why you and the anon who nominated it for speedy-delete thought it was unfunny, and there is nothing mergeable into another article if the consensus is that it be deleted. I don't think that CSD G1 is applicable here, however. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 18:55, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I know that I am giving you a bit of a hard time about this, and even I as do so I keep in mind my appreciation for all the work you put in here. You have helped me out on at least one occasion in the past. The fate of the essay is no big deal to me, but I would like to clarify something about your use of CSD G1. I have seen other admins use it to delete something that they find unimpressive, or to delete something when they are unsure which CSD criterion to use. So I thought I would at least begin by speaking to individual admins when I see it happening (when pages get speedied when they could use some wider community discussion). I don't think that this is, as you suggest, a matter of my definition of "nonsense" being different from yours. CSD G1 applies only to "patent nonsense" as described in Wikipedia:Patent nonsense. That guideline specifically says that "incompetent and/or immature material" does not fall under the definition. Thanks again for your dedication to Wikipedia, --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 22:21, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User_talk:Jimbo_Wales#RED_ALERT

Hi Anthony,

where do you suggest the discussion that developed be discussed further, now that you archived the page? Martintg (talk) 22:56, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Ah yes, I should have checked the talk page history first, the edit history comment of the archiver also suggested WP:VP as the appropriate place for continuing the discussion. I assumed your comment regarding "don't feed the trolls" was by the archiver as it was the last, being the way it is usually done in the area I contribute in. Martintg (talk) 22:26, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Replying to you (sorry for the late reply )

I am so sorry for the late reply, I have been busy in real life that I havent had a chance to reply. I do hope you are not angry with me for this

I'm sorry for the critisisam comment that I made, I thought you were trying to force me to change my mind . But I appreciate you giving me the option to do what I want.

If you are really busy in real life, you do a good job with replying to comments.

Where did you find out all the edits I have made? Because I found I really strange that you said it was obvious.e Anyway, what I am doing currently is nearly finished.

Oh and Happy Wikiing to you as well, what are you editing?

[edit] Why so harsh?

Recently, you indef. blocked User talk:GM WINS, AND THAT'S FINAL . What is GM? Car company? Is this a person interested in cars and who read that GM may now be only the 2nd largest in the world in terms of production?

Account creation was also blocked so this person can't fix the mistake by creating a new name. It's not like the GM account was used for vandalism or the name contained profanity (for example User:GM is the same as admin -- Both are bloody idiots)

Since unblocking account creation doesn't seem too drastic, I've done that. Archtransit (talk) 18:32, 19 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Proposed deletion for The Other Nite Show

Hi, I'd like to request you delete The Other Nite Show. It is a non notable community radio show from a minor AM station (and therfore not notable, if you don't delete it any other Australian community radio show could put up a page. Cheers, Ryan. 122.148.64.45 (talk) 12:58, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Welcome

You are unaware of how I appreciate comments such as that. It is nice to return my regards to you, and your extension of good faith helped me through the time at the noticeboard. I very much look forward to working with you in the future, and as the last email we had was regarding blocks, if you ever need to tell me something that I have done incorrectly, don't hesitate to ask why it may have been done et cetera. on my talk page or via other means.

[edit] An admin's perspective?

Greetings, A.b. Having just given new user 68DANNY2 some lengthy advice on the subject of attaining adminship, I spotted your comments to him on the topic. I've been editing since late 2005, and have never yet seriously looked into becoming an admin. If you've a moment, might you take a look at my history and share your thoughts regarding my suitability as an admin candidate? My track record isn't spotless; I have been involved in some talk-page quibbles and once received a short block when I got carried away and violated 3RR, though I have tried (and, I think, largely succeeded) to stay within bounds. Nevertheless, I probably have areas that need improvement — perhaps there aren't enough of certain kinds of edits in my history, or maybe there are some Wiki protocols I'm not yet properly adhering to, or things of that nature. I'm not necessarily gunning for adminship, but I'd like to have an admin's perspective. If you haven't got the time, that's OK too. Please and thank you. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 22:24, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Much obliged! —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 16:11, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Thank you kindly for your assessment. I'll look into working in the directions you suggest. —Scheinwerfermann (talk) 19:44, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

This Scheinwerfermann has been wikistalking me from article to article, contributing little but disorder, questionable 'facts' and disruption. I can't believe you're considering him for some kind of administration status. He deletes, twists, and turns into gibberish, portions of articles for no apparent reason that I can see, until now, other than to rack up 'edits'. I didn't realize there were benefits to padding your edit counts. Maybe I should try that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.107.58.130 (talk) 23:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Welcome messages

Hello Anthony, I wish to apologise for my reply to your message on the 5th, my mass welcoming of new users was inappropriate and somewhat pointless. I have lately been applying myself to patrolling the User Creation Log and reporting any username violations, reverting vandalism from new users and only welcoming those new users who have made at leat one positive contribution. I would be glad of some feedback from yourself about my contributions, are they useful do you think?

[edit] Edmund von Glaise-Horstenau

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Edmund von Glaise-Horstenau, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Deleting Anna Davlantes article

The article on Anna Davlantes was deleted by you per the log: 15:45, 7 May 2007 Anthony.bradbury (Talk | contribs) deleted "Anna Davlantes" ‎ (NN TV presenter)

I don't see the rationale for it. Any advice to why it was deleted? She has some links from other stories, but they go to an empty article. I see no logs about it. I was tempted to develop one, but had second thoughts until I know why you are deleting it. http://www.nbc5.com/meetthenewsteam/1189124/detail.html

[edit] Fempiror History

I'm sorry if you think that I made the wrong decision, I blanked the page as it was a direct copy from http://www.fempiror.com/history.html which states that "The Fempiror Chronicles in its events, characters, history, language, peoples, and situations is based on the book The History and Language of the Fempiror Race and the Felletterusk Empire by George Willson, copyright 2005 and WGA #1124419. All rights reserved.". The previous content of the page was still easily viewable though the page history and I left a note on the page to let an admin know that it had been blanked. The page is a direct copy of a copyrighted work and I would assume is a violation of copyright law as well as going against Wikipedia's non-free content policy and fundamental principles. With this in mind I thought the extra two clicks needed to view the information would be less harmful than leaving it up in the mainspace for everyone to see. I am sorry if I acted inappropriately, I thought that it was the correct course of action under the circumstances, I had waited for two hours for an admin to delete the material and none had. Guest9999 (talk) 15:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Not really an issue anymore, I brought it up on the Administrators' noticeboard (what I probably should have done in the first place) and the article's been deleted. Again sorry if I did not act in the correct manner. Guest9999 (talk) 15:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip, I'll remember next time. No offense was taken, I just wasn't sure of the correct procedure in such a situation, thanks for the help. Guest9999 (talk) 17:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

Project news Cities and municipalities task force The task force dedicated to creating and improving articles on all German cities and municipalities is happy to announce that there are now (at least) stub articles for all municipalities of Germany. Now the task force is looking for help in fleshing these out a little bit. The current phase of activity for the task force is to copy in infoboxes from the articles in German Wikipedia. If you want to help, even just for a few articles, look at the instructions and links here Article Assessment: There are now way over 26.000 articles tagged as part of our Wikiproject and many still need either an importance or a quality assessment. Also there are many more out there that do need to be tagged like approx 8000 municipalities.

[edit] CC Poindexter

You deleted this article under G5 as a created by a banned user. However, checkuser has cleared the author RobertOgleFan (as much as checkuser can). At any rate, the editor that he was accused of being a sock of has not been banned. Please consider undeleting this article. seresin ( ¡? ) 08:28, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Seresin, Mykungfu is forum shopping to find an admin to re-insert his sock-made POV edits on topics related to Alpha Phi Alpha--edits which are based on faulty cites, as was explained with consensus reached here. As far as whether, Mykungfu is making recent abusive edits specifically with [user:RobertOgleFan], I would note that his/her MO has been to use several socks at one time, in good guy/bad guy fashion, which is why reports on Mykungfu (Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Mykungfu (6th)) contains so many socks. Even so, he still used user:RobertOgleFan to create a Mediation Cabal involving all of the editors that were responsible for reporting him earlier, even though some had no interaction with him in the current cases. Additionally, Wikipolicy states, "Community bans may arise from consensus at the administrators' noticeboards (WP:AN, WP:ANI), the former community sanctions noticeboard (WP:CN), or elsewhere. As per the blocking and banning policies, users who alienate and offend the community enough may eventually be blocked long-term (most often indefinitely) by an administrator--with no administrator willing to unblock them. (see here) In such extreme cases, the user is considered to have been banned by the general community." Am I wrong in my understanding that miranda is simply following WikiPolicy related to editors Banned by the Wikipedia community? Sorry for the long post, but you left me with some questions related to this sock.-RoBoTam^ice 14:55, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mykungfu

Per this, could you please re-delete these pages under g5? Socks of banned editors aren't supposed to create new pages (and yes, he has been banned for almost 2 years for disruption, trolling, and POV pushing). Thanks. miranda 20:39, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, AB. I wonder if you've a moment to wrap this up? It's languishing past the 7-day timeframe, and unless I'm misunderstanding the protocol, only an admin can close such discussions.

[edit] Mickey Modelle

I'd be interested to know why this page was deleted as non-notable when the artist qualifies under criteria 2 of WP:MUSIC having had several charting hits on at least 5 national charts. On this basis the deletion was incorrect can you undelete? --neonwhite user page talk 02:14, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

The article does document his chart singles and their entries and outlined in the summary why he was notable. Evidence of his top 10 UK hit and other chart hits can be found at [1] and [2]. This qualifies as under criteria 2 (Has had a charted hit on any national music chart) of WP:MUSIC as has 2 UK chart hits, 3 in ireland and 1 in belgium and sweden. --neonwhite user page talk 13:30, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

There must be some error here as that is not the version of the article that i created. I don't know if this was the previous deleted article because i didnt write it or ever view it but there were no images in the article i created. --neonwhite user page talk 20:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] reply

But your considered medical opinion does not carry weight in the encyclopedia without quotable references, you wrote.

However, my medical judgement allows me insight when a reference is not reputable.

The fact remains that you state that you are a medical doctor on your user page. So do I. In my opinion, if I make such a statement, I should have some sort of verification. True, verification may be limited to some extent but it's the best we can do. Doctor Wikipedian (talk) 20:58, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

As you could probably tell from my article, I’m new to Wikipedia, so excuse my ignorance of the accepted practices here. I hope I am not asking too much of you to read my request to restore my article.

I tried my best to create an article that would document this real fetish. It is not a hoax, or a joke or any other attempt to fool anyone. I first realized I had this very specific fetish for canvas with rubber sole sneakers when I was only 6 years old. I knew then that it was not “normal” and I never told anyone. I then spent the next 28 year living with this secret, the whole time thinking I was some kind of freak.

Then in the early 90’s, with the advent of the Internet, I was able to discover that I wasn’t alone. I began to meet other people from all over the world that had a sneaker fetish. We formed mailing lists, FTP sites, Yahoo groups and Web pages devoted to our shared interest in sneakers.

I can still remember how relieved I was to know there were others like me. I gained a new confidence in myself and even found the courage to tell my girl friend. I can relate countless stories of people that joined one of our groups and expressed how excited they were to find hat they weren’t alone. My hope in creating this article was to document this fetish on an easily accessible and popular site so that others that thought they were alone could find the same happiness I did.

I know that this is not a common fetish, but just because it has not received the same publicity or social acceptance as heels, does not mean it isn’t real. And just because someone doesn’t understand it, does not give them the right to attack or mock it. Homosexually was once considered a “hoax” and attacked and mocked. I had hoped that the people that read my article would have taken the time to read all the information, references and links I provided. I had hoped they would have shown tolerance to something new and different.

Everything I have included in my article is true and based on actual facts. I worked hard to find legitimate sources to substantiate it. I know the article could use more work and I have been trying to add more information as I get time. But, because this is a somewhat rare and relatively new fetish (sneakers have been around for less than 100 years) there are few traditional or medical references. Most of the sources that truly document this fetish are for members, like Yahoo Groups and web pages. This group, http://sneaker-groups.com/ , has hundreds of members.

If you agree that my article might be restored, I also ask that you could offer me some advice or guidance on how to improve it and make it a worthy addition to Wikipedia.

Thank you for you time, Rob

[edit] Dolgrim

Hello! :) In November, Dolgrim was nominated for deletion. At the time, there was no suitable page for this article to be redirected to, so based on the consensus, you deleted the article. I have created a new page, List of Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition monsters, which would be a proper destination to merge and/or redirect the article to. I'm wondering if it's possible to restore the original article, and turn it into a redirect, thus preserving the edit history? BOZ (talk) 19:50, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, you're right that Dolgrim should be mentioned in the list. It's on the long to-do list for the project. :) If you'd feel more comfortable about it, I could make sure it gets added before you do the restore/redirect. BOZ (talk) 13:42, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks you, sir!  :) BOZ (talk) 20:41, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

No problem - that's the last one I was waiting for, and I'm glad I won't have to worry about that over the long weekend.  :) Thanks again! BOZ (talk)

[edit] Doctor Wikipedian

East718 determined that Doctor Wikipedian is a sock of banned Dereks1x, and accordingly indefinitely blocked him. Aleta ^Sing 12:43, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sock puppet case

I'm very sorry for the confusion. It was very late at night when I reported the user. I saw the similar account created, and the fishy business on the related article. So being "click-happy" I reported the user. All that's left is to see if one turns out to be a vandal. Cheers!WikiZorro^sign 23:24, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

hi, you just deleted my article on 80's babies.

i don't believe this should have been deleted because it contained exclusive info about the topic which cannot be found on any other website apart from the source i actually mention in the article.

i understand tht it is short but that is because the topic is reltively new and i'm sure ill grow in time.

could you please revise your decision about it s wikipedia is the only site that would have the info. i have looked everywhere for information on the topic and out of fustration i have come to wikipedia.

thank you for your time —Preceding unsigned comment added by No.1 SuPeRsTaR (talk • contribs) 13:52, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:Moment Theory

Assume good faith and unblock him/her; they've been duly warned about notability, etc. --Orange Mike | Talk 18:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC) (on his way to lunch)

[edit] BWCBadmin

With usernames like that, I'm assuming in good faith that they had no idea that was against policy. Also, they're not editing much (Someone actively editing under a username with "admin" should be blocked, of course).

Generally, we should give them a few days to respond and then block them, or, well, I was going to suggest the "temporary userpage" template but that's been deleted. Daniel Case (talk) 12:07, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

UPDATE: someone else already made the block. Daniel Case (talk) 12:08, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Faber Optimé

Two users, including jpgordon, have supported unblock on the user talk page on the grounds that this is apparently a personal Internet username, not a company, and he's not really editing promotionally. So I'm going to go ahead and do it. Just letting you know. Daniel Case (talk) 22:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
