Hi. I recently shifted to neutral before you made this comment – [1] on the page. I believe that I might have been a witness to two or three possibly inappropriate comments by this user. Would you be able to produce diffs in support of you claim, so that I may re-consider my stance on the matter? Best regards, — Nearly Headless Nick 12:06, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
TfD for Template:WikiMusicGuide
Hey, I was just wondering about one of the recent TfDs you closed. On Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 January 5#Template:WikiMusicGuide, you closed it with the result of deletion, but the template (Template:WikiMusicGuide) is still there. – Heaven's Wrath Talk 20:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
Deletion Review
I have asked for a deletion review of Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2007_January_2#Template:WoS_game. Since you closed the deletion discussion for (or speedy-deleted) this article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Patstuarttalk|edits 04:53, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
TfD Template:Neo and Paleo Ideologies
Hi! Since you've closed a couple of other discussions from 10 January, can you close this one as delete, too? Thanks, Argyriou (talk) 00:19, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
Newyorkbrad's RfA

Reckless deletion of my template
According to Wikipedia:Templates_for_deletion/Log/2006_August_28 you deleted my old template Template:Image uploaded by user pcb21 and replaced all uses of it by Template:GFDL. This was a nasty piece of work: - firstly it did not represent the "debate". Two users said "userify" which would've been ok. ONE user said delete. You should /never/ take the most destructive route unless there is a healthy majority opinion to do that. - No-one contacted me to say the template (which had existed for ~2 years by the way) was inappropriate to give me a chance to sort it out. - By merging it in with Template:GFDL, making it really hard to work out all the images I uploaded to undo the mess.
Please go through the relevant logs and sort out the mess you made by userifying the template and populating it appropriately. (Please reply here). Pcb21 Pete 14:10, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- With all due respect, I don't have the time, and it's not my job, to do so. Sorry. RyanGerbil10(Упражнение В!) 14:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- All these hours you spend on Wikipedia and you claim you "don't have the time". No-one hands out "jobs" on Wikipedia - people do what they want to do. Basically the above response is a load of rubbish and a desperate attempt to avoid admitting you were wilfully destructive. Not even an apology! I would've thought more of you if you had just said you don't give a damn about making my life difficult. Oh well, I suppose I shall just start from scratch. Pcb21 Pete 21:49, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- I am curious, why is you say that is your job? Mathiastck 15:25, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
7-5 in favor of deletion = Keep consensus?
I noticed that closed the Wikipedia:Templates for deletion/Log/2007 January 19#Template:MultiLicensePD debate with a consensus of "keep", even though the unvotes were 7 for deletion and 5 to keep. I would have thought that "No consensus" was a better description. Any particular reason? Robert A.West (Talk) 21:59, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks. Robert A.West (Talk) 22:20, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
I'm not certain that I think your closure of the instant TfD to have been quite right; your deletion reason suggests that your deletion was consistent with the consensus borne out at TfD, but you ostensibly invoked T1, about the applicability of which there seemed to be no plain agreement amongst the TfD participants (toward which, see, e.g., the GUSsing suggested by several users; I do recognize that two other admins previously speedied the template per T1, but such previous action does not, I think, a consensus make); where there is some doubt about the applicability of a criterion for speedy deletion, we ought, of course, to err on the side of permitting an XfD discussion to evolve. To be sure, I'd likely have !voted for deletion at the TfD, believing the template to be unnecessarily disruptive and to be unlikely to serve any encyclopedic purpose (it is unlikely, for instance, to encourage or facilitate collaboration between editors but is relatively likely to impair such collaboration), and I am relatively confident that the TfD would have borne out a consensus for deletion, such that I've no inclination to DRV the issue, but because this template wasn't entirely dissimilar from those supporting certain political parties or ideologies that have been userfied per GUS and because some TfD participants seemed to imagine this to be inconsistent with the letter of T1, I wonder whether this might have been a case in which one ought to have been more circumspect and to have refrained from SNOWing or speedying. In this instance, there appears to be no harm done, and I have very little doubt that the community would ultimately have favored deletion, but the fact that several editors-in-good-standing appeared to think the template not speediable suggests to me that an inference as to the views of the community ought not to have been so quickly made; I imagine, in any event, that one ought generally to avoid speedying templates about which "contested" TfDs are pending.

Area 51 (skatepark) - deleted
Could you confirm why you deleted this page? According to [2] it is one of Europe's largest skateparks. Wiki-uk 08:31, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
Patent templates for deletion
Thanks for deleting all those patent templates after my nomination. I'm dropping you a line, though, because I'm confused about the process. Are the stages following nomination solely in the hands of admins, or are there things that us minions can contribute? I hunted around some of the help pages, but they weren't all that helpful.
If there are things that normal Wikipedians can do, then maybe the help pages could be improved, as I think it would make your life easier! GDallimore 12:04, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Template:Future_article_talk_page
Hey I was hoping to discuss the deletion of Template:Future_article_talk_page. I think I've been the primary user of it. I was quite saddened to see it so quickly put for deletion without the slightest attempt to discuss it's deletion on it's talk page first. I'm a pretty frequent user of the template, and I often go the templates talk page.
Anyway, where would be the appropriate place to discuss it's undeletion? I researched the issue of talk pages created before articles a great deal before the template existed, and it seems clear that talk pages created before articles are encouraged by wikipedia policy as long as they well assist in the creation of a notable and good article.

Naturally, I am still becoming accustomed to using the new tools, so if you have suggestions or feedback, or need anything please let me know. - Gilliam 20:41, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

TfD
Ah ha! I was wondering why they were looking so funky. :) Yeah I'll keep working on it and see if we can get the backlog cleared. They aren't that hard to do, are they? I think it's just a matter of lack of awareness as to why not a lot of admins don't watch the page. I've started to tackle CfD for the same reason. Thanks for the tip. --WoohookittyWoohoo! 00:59, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Image template evidence?
Hi, Web Kai. Could you please provide some evidence to back up this change? Without such evidence, the template will have to be deleted. Regards, RyanGerbil10(Упражнение В!) 21:18, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- I had another look at the e-mail I received prior to creating the template. He didn't actually say that the web address had to be in the articles the picture was used. It's too late now, though. --sonicKAI 16:41, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello
I am not sure if I am doing this correctly. What caused the Atlantica Party page to disappear? We had not finished updating it. Is it retrievable? Thank you. - Atlanticapoliticalparty Feb 8 2007

Hello. May we have the contents of the Atlantica Party page returned, please. We shall recreate it with stricter encyclopedic content. Thank you. - Tap member Feb 8 2007 You may delete usernames: Atlantica party and Atlanticpoliticalparty Thank you.
Deletion Review/Overrule Please
Hello Ryan,
You deleted a page I started yesterday entitled "Figures of Speech." I am an active participant in the LA underground music scene and author of the "Project Blowed" music entry. In my spare time, I am attempting to catalog and create entries for all of the legendary musicians who collectively participated in this seminal Los Angeles work known as "Project Blowed." My first was "Figures of Speech." I'm not sure why it was deleted and I'm just learning how to really use Wikipedia. This group is quite important to the scene as are others that I plan to enter into this encyclopedia. I referenced the group members names, their music influences, their backgrounds, etc. I'm not sure why it was deleted as I have seen stubs and such on lesser acclaimed people/musicians. Can you please let me know what I can do to have this deletion review and overturned. I appreciate it.

Garion96's RFA
Thank you for your support in my request for adminship which closed successfully last night. Feel free to let me know if I can help you with something or if I have made a mistake. I would also like to encourage you to vote often (just in case you don't) on other candidates since we need more admins. Happy editing, Garion96 (talk) 23:54, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Follow-up on TfD
Hello! I noticed that a while ago you decided that {{Construction}} should be deleted, but it never was. I suspect this may have just been a mistake, but please let me know if there is another reason it should not be deleted. Thanks, Dar-Ape 00:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
