Request username (similar too)

Could you ok my request for the username "Phantoms". The create account said it was too similar to phantom5, and a couple users then posted that it's too similar to Phantom who is not very active. I have an active account request at Wikipedia:Request_an_account#Phantoms. Thank you very much. --71.229.35.119 03:38, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Help!

Should this be deleted? @pple complain 17:36, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Yes, it does: WP:NOT#USER. BTW, please add a link to your talk page, plz. @pple complain 17:43, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Fixed link already. As long as user posts st like blog prose, whatever on user page or talk page, I think it's the same since they both belong to userspace. @pple complain 17:51, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

It's been a while...

Request for review

The Yellow Bird's diary

The Yellow Bird's diary (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (restore|cache|AfD)

Listed Hi, English Wikipedian. I'm a Vietnamese Wikipedian, my page can be found here vi:Thành_Viên:Magnifier. Today I look for a article in Wikipedia , the article The Yellow Bird's diary but i found out it was deleted; but i'm not satisfied for the reason "it's a NPOV failure", so i'm make a request here. I, Magnifier, request the article The Yellow Bird's diary must be restored beacause the following reasons:

• Famous:
  • because it's a NATIONAL TV show, mostly all Vietnames who often watch Vietname National Television (VTV) will be know it clearly. You may check for the keyword "Nhật Ký Vàng Anh"; "Nhat Ky Vang Anh", "Vang Anh", "Thuy Linh" AT Vietnamese Google Engine www.google.com.vn and get the Google Hits in Vietnamese for that TV program.
  • Addtional, The sex scandal of the main artress "Hoang Thuy Linh" and her lover "Vu Hoang Viet" make it more and more famously! And currently it is still hot in Vietnam You may check here ; [1].
  • Even BBC Vietnamese, although outside Vietnam and often report about politican news in Vietnam, it's have more than 4 articles about "Nhat Ky Vang Anh" or The Yellow Bird's diary:
    • http://www.bbc.co.uk/vietnamese/vietnam/story/2007/10/071025_vanganh_arrests.shtml
    • http://www.bbc.co.uk/vietnamese/entertainment/story/2007/10/071024_celebvanganh.shtml
    • http://www.bbc.co.uk/vietnamese/vietnam/story/2007/10/071017_vang_anh_saga.shtml
    • http://www.bbc.co.uk/vietnamese/vietnam/story/2007/10/071028_vanganh_update.shtml
• Notability: It have full reason to have a place in Wikipedia:
  • It's a Vienamized Version TV program of pt:O Diário de Sofia, why O Diário de Sofia can have a article in Wikipedia but The Yellow Bird's diary can't ??? It's too unfair
• NPOV:
  • Yes, may be only write about the Show's Scandal ( The Sex Scandal ) is writen in the article. But you can place a NOPV template and STUB template ( it lack informations not lack the reason to live) but don't USING IT as a REASON to DELETE the article! "it's a NPOV failure" is a total Westerner's (if you are in the Euro, or American, we Vietnamese call all Europeans and Americans "Westerner") POV, you don't have a BIT information about the show in VIETNAM or try to expand it, so don't judge it easily.

If i made any msitaken in English, i'm sorry because i'm only level 2 in English . Wait for yor reply at my User talk page here.

So thank for reading.

Good luck to you. Magnifier 03:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Preity Zinta FA

Hi there. The Preity Zinta article has recently achieved A-class status. Due to the wealth of support I have decided to now nominate for an FA class article which I believe and judging by the comments of others is pretty much up to. In my view it is better than some existing FA actor articles. I would therefore be very grateful if you could give it a final review in your own time and leave your comments and views at Wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Preity Zinta. Thankyou, your comments are always valuable. ♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ ^"Talk"? 10:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

RfA/AfD

Thanks mate. Hesperian 11:21, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you bunches!

Thank you so much for suppporting my RfA. I was promoted with a total of (44/1/0) - a vote of confidence from the community that I find humbling and motivating. I will not abuse your trust. Look forward to working with you! (Esprit15d 21:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC))

Thank you for your support.

Remember, remember, the fifth of November? Thank you to everyone who participated in my Request for adminship, which was successful at 50/5/0 on November 5th, 2007. It became, as you may know, rather contentious toward the end (though fortunately no gunpowder was involved), and I appreciate the work of other Wikipedians to keep it focused. --Thespian 02:37, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

31 hours?!?

Did you look closely at the contribs for 129.44.133.226? If so, how did you come up with only 31 hours? I figured with all the warnings on their talk page, and the complete lack of constructive edits in their contrib list that the block would be MUCH lengthier. What was your reasoning in settling on 31 hours? K. Scott Bailey 15:42, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

That's cool. I was just confused about how you came up with the number. Thanks for your reply. K. Scott Bailey 15:47, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you
