Re:Myrkskog page deleted per WP:PROD

I obviously missed this one being prod-ed. The article may have been unsourced, but the band would have passed WP:MUSIC with two album releases on a highly notable indie label (Candlelight) and members that went on to join an otherwise notable band (Zyklon). Is there any chance you could reinstate it? Blackmetalbaz (talk) 14:24, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

You've got it. Myrkskog is restored. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:38, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

how can i delete an entry?

I really didn't know what I was doing - and now it's a mess - pls help —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lbernard325 (talk • contribs) 20:50, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Done. Gilles bourdos deleted, as you were the only editor to make substantial revisions. SchuminWeb (Talk) 21:31, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Delete redirect "Israeli occupation forces"

Hello Ben,

i believe the redirect article "Israeli occupation Forces" should be speedily deleted, due to being a neologism. however, since it is a redirect, i cannot tag the page itself (as far as i know). now, i have done so in the relevant talk page, but that nomination was speedily deleted itself, by you. please advise how to nominate the redirect page for speedy deletion. thanks! MiS-Saath (talk) 15:15, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm inclined to leave the redirect alone, since if there's even a slight chance that someone else will use it, it's worth hanging onto. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:16, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

fine, but that's at least discussable, isn't it? since you removed it, you're the only one who got to view it at all. neologisms are not something worth hanging to, they're an attempt to make a statement and lack encylopedic merit. even as a redirect. MiS-Saath (talk) 15:34, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

By all means, it's discussable, and perhaps it needs to be discussed. The talk page I zapped only contained a project box and your speedy tag. If you think it's deletable, by all means, take it to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion. Personally, I'm not that concerned either way about it. SchuminWeb (Talk) 16:09, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Sure, i didn't know there was another way to initiate the discussion. thank you very much! MiS-Saath (talk) 16:18, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Indo G

I noticed while reviewing my contributions that you deleted this article a few weeks ago when the PROD expired. Thought I'd come here first, before taking it to DRV. It had already survived two AFDs, and the artist has enjoyed modest chart success[1][2], so a third AFD should have been employed instead of PROD. --Groggy Dice T | C 17:06, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Restored per PROD guidelines. SchuminWeb (Talk) 17:27, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. But did you forget the talk page? When I went to the red talk page to place the old AFD notices, your deletion was in the log. --Groggy Dice T | C 19:23, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

Adam O'Shaughnessy

Hi. Just out of curiosity, why did you decide to decline the speedy, when Adam O'Shaughnessy has a netlog entry indicating i) his username is adamo117 - the same username used to create this article, and ii) he's 14 (see [3] - just type his name into the search box) ? if that isn't a case of a pure vanity article, then what is ? :-) CultureDrone (talk) 21:17, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

I declined the A3. Looking at the history, I now see you previously nominated it for A7. Either way, the article will die somehow, whether by speedy or PROD. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:13, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

True, but it means that this kid now has a vanity article on Wikipedia until the end of the week. Anyhoo... :-) CultureDrone (talk) 06:35, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

ATA

Thanks for that, where do they come up with these titles... --Nate1481(^t/_c) 13:31, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Dunno. Each martial arts organization has its own group of "masters", I suppose. SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:03, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

August Wikimeeting?

Let's plan it? ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 16:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Definitely! Okay, not having planned one of these from the ground up, where do we start? SchuminWeb (Talk) 18:40, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, we should copy the information from meeting 4 to a meeting 5 page. I say we just cut to the chase with figuring out the location and go for Pizza Uno, but that's just my thought. Someone will figure out a date, and we'll call restaurants to let them know. Then we'll email someone (probably Greg Maxwell) to put up a geonotice for the meeting, and let past attendees know about it, and then notify the neighboring projects (Philly and NYC) that usually send people our way. Follow up with a post on the WM:DC pages here and on Meta, and the thing should evolve on its way from there. ⇒SWATJester ^{Son of the Defender} 21:29, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Genealogics speedy deletion

On June 28, you deleted the Genealogics article, saying it didn't assert the importance or significance of its subject. I think that the deleted article does, in fact, assert the significance of Genealogics, and would ask you to reconsider the speedy deletion, and suggest that if you have strong feelings that it needs deletion that it be done through the longer standard process so consensus on the matter can be gauged. (Obviously, I only noticed the deletion once you nominated the Genealogics templates for deletion.) - Nunh-huh 00:19, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't particularly care one way or the other, so if you want it back and run through AFD, okay. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:59, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Sounds good. Do you want to do the deed, or shall I? Probably best if you do it, as you would make the more cogent case for deletion. - Nunh-huh 12:47, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Deed already done. SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:10, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Excellent. Thanks! - Nunh-huh 14:24, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Concerning your edits to Randi Rhodes

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Randi Rhodes. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page 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. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing. Please do not repeatedly revert edits, but use the talk page to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. If necessary, pursue dispute resolution. --BenBurch (talk) 02:44, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Spinn?

I always thought you were a character made up by Spinn. Are you a real person? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.162.255.127 (talk) 20:22, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Indeed, I am a real person that Spinn has lampooned in past years. If you want to talk about SpinnWebe, however, outside of improvements to that site's Wikipedia article, please contact me off-wiki. SchuminWeb (Talk) 00:43, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Cap City Cyclocross Speedy deletion

I'm not sure what you intended with your marking of the Cap City Cyclocross page, but I'm aggravated that I spent time compiling it, and all of my work is now gone. You could have put something in my user talk asking me about the page. I see that you do this a lot, and have been warring over your edits. All this does is destroy others work, and waste their time.

I'm going to rebuild the page and save the text file with all the coding in it. If it is deleted again I will take proper action.

The page was built with the intent of having a quick and easy way to access our schedule, rules, and entry fees while our website is down, or if our website is blocked from company networks.

Also, I had factual information with in the page.

Personally I feel as if you should be the one rebuilding the page from scrap, with everything that was in it before. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Epiccentury (talk • contribs) 02:06, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

why was the article "Before the Rains" about a movie deleted?

I believe that was a title of a real movie. Please check the link below... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0870195/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cevah (talk • contribs) 20:34, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Deleted via WP:PROD, and restored upon reasonable request. Before the Rains shall be restored. SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:47, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Cootie Brown (band) deletion

Hi,

The articles listed are sourced (Centre Daily Times & The Pennsylvania Musician Magazine), and have released 3 albums on an independent label (Breeze Records). I'm not sure how the albums can have valid wiki pages, and the band keeps getting deleted. Any chance it can be reinstated? Thanks in advance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BiiEckert (talk • contribs) 14:26, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Green Line template

A number of the other WMATA lines have the same type of image showing how the line fits together with the rest of the system. Perhaps deleting it was premature? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dkendr (talk • contribs) 19:07, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

I would be inclined to remove the ones on the other lines as well, actually, for the same reason. It is redundant to the strip map in the template, as that also shows how it hooks into the rest of the system. Removing the Green Line one is kind of a testing-the-waters kind of thing. Does this better clarify my position? SchuminWeb (Talk) 23:10, 25 July 2008 (UTC)

Space Shuttle Columbia disaster

As you are a significant contributor to this article I wanted to make certain that you are aware that its GA status has been put on hold following a GA Sweeps review which can be found here. The major issue needing some attention is citations. --Malleus Fatuorum (talk) 15:09, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

C. Tycho Howle

If you want to AfD something, it's always a good idea to Google the title as well as a significant chunk of text, because if you get a hit on it anywhere besides Wikipedia, it's copvio. I Googled C Tycho Howle (without the period, like it reads incorrectly in the article title), and got the exact article text on an about page for the company that's not linked off its main page.
