[edit] Deleting account
No, you cannot delete your account. This would remove you from the edit histories of articles and violate the terms of the GFDL, under which Wikipedia is published. You do, however, have the right to vanish. 17Drew 23:22, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Re: account
hi, do i have the right to delete this acccount? if i do, i wish to do so. I would appreciate if you could assist asap. thanks. ephix 23:18, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
- User accounts aren't usually deleted because the GFDL licence requires than an audit trail is kept for user contributions. If you don't want to use it anymore then I suggest that you randomise the password to prevent cracking and leave the account alone. See Wikipedia:User account for more details.

[edit] Attempt to delete Consensus decision-making article
You recently attempted to list the Consensus decision-making article for deletion. In your reasons, you said that as the term "consensus decision-making" is a neologism and referred to the guideline WP:NEO. I have reverted this, since you did not follow the policy on article deletion, WP:DEL. Bottom line is that you did not attempt to discuss this on the article talk page (or elsewhere) prior to listing it at AfD. This is a well established article on a subject of considerable interest. Many editors, including me, have spent a great deal of time collaborating on this article. It is recognized as fairly authoritative coverage of the subject. And the subject, itself, is one of interest to many people who look to Wikipedia for basic information on a given subject. There are over 180,000 uses of the term on the Internet, many books about it, and thousands of people who practice, or attempt to practice it (neologism, or not).
ephix: Your account is a relatively new one on Wikipedia, so it is likely that you are not familiar with many of the policies and practices here. I would like to highlight one: WP:CON. Discussion about articles occurs on the article talk page. If you think that something is amiss with this, or any other article, you should discuss it there. Major changes to an article are decided on by consensus (ironic, in this case, but true). You would be most welcome to discuss your concerns there. Sunray 03:25, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interactive Visualization
Ephix writes: removed merge tag dated 2006. IV is a clearly branch of graphic visualization in computer science not a general field
Can you provide an example of a modern-day visualization progam that is not interactive? If not, would you agree that it would be difficult to justify the existance of this article?

- well said, i guess this yet another outdated article in a fast moving field. now you can be bold and merge the two. ephix
[edit] Mashal page
I noticed that you created a page called "Mashal" (which should really be "Parable" because I doubt anyone will ever find it under Mashal). The trouble is that none of this material is sourced, and there are numerous abbreviations that most of the world doesn't understand. Can you fix it up?--Gilabrand 16:59, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

- Before adding new pages, I would suggest copyediting and finding sources for this one. At the moment, I think it is pretty incomprehensible. If you think a separate page is needed, then call it Parable (Jewish) or Parable (Talmudic) and then explain what a mashal and a nimshal are, on the page. --Gilabrand 05:26, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TalkTalk
No problem. I know how it can get when dealing with multiple redirects. Sometimes it helps to have a fresh pair of eyes look things over. Let me know if I can help in the future. -- JediLofty User ¦ Talk 09:51, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Efrat Gosh
In response to the comment left on my talk page ... I am sorry you took offense. None was intended.
Before I added the notability tag I did google her name. I found several hits. That's why I did not tag the article for deletion. The notability tag is a suggestion to add notability information so that it won't be deleted by others. All that's needed is to add things like recordings, concerts, etc. (with verifiable cited sources of course) ... that will go along way towards demonstrating notability. The way the article is currently written, it just sounds like she is a person who sang for some friends. Remember that it is important for the article to be obvious about the artist's importance and notability. There seems to be a lot of info from the google hits ... just add them to the article. Thanks. Truthanado (talk) 03:34, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy deletion of Dave Fetterman
A tag has been placed on Dave Fetterman requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.
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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 15:54, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- please see article talk page. ephix (talk) 16:04, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Don't delete speedy deletion tags on articles you have created, such as Dave Fetterman. Use the {{hangon}} tag instead.--Fabrictramp (talk) 17:35, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
