[edit] Re : Camille Anderson

The abovementioned article does not qualify for CSD G4 - It is meant for articles in which its last AfD debate resulted in a delete, which in this case was a keep. - Mailer Diablo 17:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

I didn't mark it with the speedy, I just kept it before it could be reviewed by an admin because a vandal removed it. Booshakla 17:59, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
  • It's okay then. Let's just say I reviewed the speedy and removed it. :) - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 18:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, that what I implied and figured. All is fine. Booshakla 18:06, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] 3RR

Warning

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly, as you are doing in People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions in a content dispute within a 24 hour period. Additionally, users who perform a large number of reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring, even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. Rather than reverting, discuss disputed changes on the talk page. The revision you want is not going to be implemented by edit warring. Thank you.-Localzuk(talk) 00:29, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Nancy Reagan

I didn't want to revert your edit without asking why you thought that we shouldn't refer to Ron Reagan as "the late". This means the guy has dies, which is true.Arcayne 02:35, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I think that we need to address a couple of issues there. To begin with, I understand your reasoning for not referring to a deceased person as "the late so-and-so." To begin with, we aren't the World Book Encyclopedia; we are Wikipedia, with a different Manual of Style. I see nothing in there that directs us not to refer to the deceased as I have. The very fact that you have had long arguments about this suggests that it is a matter of contention, and not one that has been resolved with any finality. That being said, I did inquire with the Manual of Style folk regarding this matter. If they come back with the determination that "the late" is not appropriate, i will remove the reference in the article myself. until then, I am going to reinsert the comment as is. As to the comments that most already know reagan is dead is not an entirely valid argument, aas WP is not a collection of links. We cite our work, yes, but each article should be able to stand on its own, without assuming information. There are people who don't know John McCartney was in a band before Wings, or that Jimmy Carter was a former US President. We assume nothing at Wikipedia. As well, we are not here to improve the print encyclopedias, and I am not sure where you arrived at that assumption. As well, I am curious as to why your user page says that you have retired from Wikipedia when you are still editing. Arcayne 03:04, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

I can tell from the number of edits you have performed over this issue that you don't agree with my edit. I think that if you wish to address Wikipedia policy, you should do so in either MOS or at the Village Pump. If you wish to discuss the matter, then do so in the Discussion area for the article. Please do not assume an editorial policy that is not in existence. Again, why does your User Page state that you are no longer contributing to Wikipedia?Arcayne 03:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The late "the late" -- thanks.

Referring to the recently deceased as "the late" belongs no where in Wikipedia. Thanks for taking notice of this overused and imprecise phrase and deleting it throughout Wikipedia. KP Botany 03:44, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I saw where you removed "the late" from Lane Stadium in reference to Frank Loria. In most cases, "the late" isn't appropriate, however, there should be some designation here as his number was retired and displayed posthumously. --BigDT 15:18, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] More "the late"

  • Do you search Wikipedia for the phrase somehow, or just remove it where you find it? I'm curious. :) (P.S. your change to Hugo (Street Fighter) directed me here.) JuJube 11:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WTF??

I nominated a few articles for deletion a few days ago. I closed the discussion yesterday. You, went ahead for no reason and reopened it. It was five days old, therefore the discussion ends. Tell me now why you put it back on. Davnel03 19:32, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
