[edit] Concept album

Wow. You really transformed that article! It came a long way from the terrible unreferenced state it was in. That would be amazing if it becomes a FA or even a GA. One of the harder topics to achieve that with. I congratulate you with your progress so far and keep up the good work. I'll be sure to stop by from time to time and help out.

[edit] The Jimmy Timmy Power Hour

Re the template placed there, probably worth keeping the article as the project was a semi-notable fusion of two popular cartoon franchises supported by two different production teams. Such an occurrence is/was semi-rare, a la Who Framed Roger Rabbit?. Still, I'll be duplicating the present content to nickelodeon.wikia.com just in case. knoodelhed (talk) 16:52, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Thank You

Hehe. I admin on other sites, and I know the heat that admins take in response to doing simple things like their duty. Though it dosen't help that the Warriors Fandom is, on the whole, rather young. I think at 26 I'm amongst the oldest in the fandom. I try and encourage the rest of the Warriors Fans to act honorably and in a relatively adult manner. Kitsufox(Fox's Den) 03:45, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Well I'm not an admin, I've run far to many websites and other groups to want to take that on here. It's not just warriors fandom, it's fandom in general. Every fiction AFD the same thing happens, people just ignore policy and say we are being unfair, or we just don't like it, or anyone of a 100 other annoying excuses. If things were well written and concise I would have no problem, just every article on wikipedia is growing to infinity to the point where no one can get any information from them. I think wikipedia is at point where the experiment is hitting critical mass and is about to collapse in on itself unless we get hardcore about cleaning it.Ridernyc (talk) 03:51, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
You're doing admin work, thus you're taking admin-flak. I work on a Wikia Project where there's a Sysop who does thinks like decides script tags should get enabled without consulting the community at all ;) So at least Wikipedia works with systems and stuff dosen't get deleted all willy-nilly or anything. Y'all always have a good reason. As for the critical mass, it will be interesting to see how things go on that front. Kitsufox(Fox's Den) 21:51, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WHY DID YOU DELETE THRILL-WORLD???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just started the thrill-world page as a test, And you still deleted it anyway!! Please restore the page immediately. Respond with a new message back to my talk page as well.--B5JH 00:39, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Because it was a hoax page full of stuff you made up. Ridernyc 19:02, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hollywood Records Sampler

What was wrong with it, I provided the source of the information and many people wanted to know about the cd. There was no reason for deletion as I also did not vandalise, copy, or steal anything from anyone. I would also like to know why it was deleted even though I refuted it, and isn't there a 5-day waiting period? i'd appreciate an explanation as well as a reason, if any. Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of information. It seems everytime I post an article someone swoops down on it and deletes it within seconds, and I never recieve any explanation. I would also like to know why even though my page most definitely have content, a ridiculous tag was attached saying I had no content. These tags are never supported and I would like an explanation, thank you. EDIT: I see the reason was:Article does does not indicate why its subject is important or significant: non-existent album. There are a plethora of many insignificant albums yet they are listed here, so people can have the information. Just because one person does not care about an album, I do not see what that has to do with the public. It is censorship for you to remove it, this is about informing the public, not deleting something because it isn't significant. That is being opinionated and Wikipedia is supposed to be an informative, neutral place of knowledge. I am awating further action and response. Thank you.[User:Ralphy j|Ralphy j]] 21:00, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes

I understand your view on the Avatar: The Last Airbender episodes. Please give us a week or two as we will probably be merging the articles into articles about specific seasons instead of episodes. Parent5446(Murder me for my actions) 22:15, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

I appreciate that the project is willing to work to fix the situation. Just keep in mind that everything that would need to be added to the episode articles will also need to be added to the season articles. If they are just long plot summaries for one season they will they still fall short of policy. I think the best solution is to add small plot summaries to each episode on the episode list page.

[edit] Tote board/Totalizator

I would have merged the other way--"tote" is just a shorthand (not a colloquialism, as claimed in the article) for "totalizator". In any case they are really separate things; tote board:totalizator::monitor:computer. Robert K S (talk) 21:57, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

I really just followed the tags, both articles were stubs, tote board already mentioned Totalizator so that where the merge went. Ridernyc (talk) 21:59, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Boom Festival article

I have added some third party references to the article and I have removed the Notability and no References tag, is this alright? Thanks Luis —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luis v silva (talk • contribs) 23:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] How do I improve the article?

How do I improve the article on Lucky Capo? For importance that most people where im from heard of him. Ok, I'm still working on that, but these sites are not self published by me.

References that are not from a self published source would be a start. Ridernyc (talk) 16:20, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
On second thoughts it doesnt matter. Just do as you need. But I'm still not understanding what you mean by: "from a self published source". I didn't publish any source myself. just the one here. Mustafarkilla (talk) 16:30, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Please read WP:N and WP:RS, soory but I just don't think this article is going to pass notability criteria. A google search on the name pulls up under 50 hits, none of them about this person. Ridernyc (talk) 16:40, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Ok thank you anyway. If I find more, then may I add? thanks for your help anyway.Mustafarkilla (talk) 16:45, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
No offense but I doubt this person will ever be important enough to include in the encyclopedia. Ridernyc (talk) 16:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Doesnt offend me but yeah I suppose you're right. still, you've never heard him and he's only 16. dunno but watch the space. Mustafarkilla (talk) 17:04, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sonic Mystic Machine?

Why is it nonsense? Its about a game, what is wrong with that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tigerdude1993 (talk • contribs) 17:56, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] One Shot Music Video

The article One shot music video was instantly marked for deletion. I can't see why, this is a very common expression in the film and video production business. Furthermore it is often the subject of research for directors and producers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fubbi (talk • contribs) 18:23, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Rural Ramble Article

Hi,

I'm new at this, so am not really sure if I'm in the right place or doing the right things.

I wanted to post some information about some of the agritourism events that are occurring in Canadian agriculture, as there has been a big swing in that direction here in the last few years, with the Northumberland County Rural Ramble, the Ottawa Valley Rural Ramble, the Agri-tours coming up in Alberta, etc., but I don't seem to be doing a very good job of it.

I note also that you identified a potential conflict of interest here, as my user id is RRCoord -- and yes, I am the coordinator of the Northumberland County Rural Ramble event for last year and this year (this role is given to someone else each year).

I am wide open to suggestions as to how I can contribute something useful around these kinds of events without causing problems for the inclusion guidelines and whatnot -- but I don't necessarily understand the references I'm reading. Could you be very plain-English about it and tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Many thanks!

RRCoord —Preceding unsigned comment added by RRCoord (talk • contribs) 04:06, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

I would recommend making your comments at the articles AFD page since it is now up for review and it will be up to the community to form a consensus on the article. Ridernyc (talk) 04:18, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Padiddle

Actually the correct treatment for paddidle was the redirect that I have now created. I encountered the game forty years ago. And although I never played it again, somehow the word sticks and I find it springing to mind when I see a car with one headlight. -- RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 04:10, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

no problem, although you may want to send it to AFD since it seems you now have an edit war on your hands. Ridernyc (talk) 04:16, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ted Baxter

You don't get much more severe than me when it comes to asserting an encyclopedic standard for fictional articles (for example, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bonnie Swanson). However, I feel that the character Ted Baxter is deserving, given his wider cultural significance. I have rewritten the article and removed your prod as a result. Of course, please feel free to take this to AfD if you feel this still does not satisfy WP:FICT. Also, please continue to weigh in on the debate at WP:FICT & WP:EPISODE, where I notice there is an ever urgent and mounting need to argue for the assertion of encyclopedic standards.
