indiscriminate list

What makes you think the list of HL mods is still an indiscriminate list? It's very selective now, nothing like it was during the last AfD. --Pizzahut2 00:44, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

I feel it's indiscriminate because there is no inherrent use or value to having the list, meaning that to keep it would be indiscriminate. The Kinslayer 11:29, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

What is SPEEDY and SPEEDIFY?

Hi. I have been watching the HISTORY of some articles in Wikipedia and I see SPEEDY and SPEEDIFY. What does that mean? There are several other keywords. Is there a list of definitions? Thanks! CDBPDX —The preceding unsigned comment was added by CDBPDX (talk • contribs) 14:56, 5 December 2006 (UTC).

Speedy is wikipedia slang for 'Marked for speedy deletion'. It's used when someone believes an article meets one of the criteria to get the article quickly deleted. WP:SPEEDY describes the whole thing in full detail, but if you've still got any questions after haviong a look, I'll do my best to answer to them. Hope this helps you!

Why the bleep

No offense, but why the hell did you place that tag on the Ace Combat X Super Aircraft it has notable (I spelled it wrong) sources the main one being Electrosphere. I just don't get it. Tell me on my talk page.Sam ov the blue sand 21:55, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

i was wondering

you voted to delete the article on the eighth generation of video games. you said it was "pure speculation" i was wondering of you would be willing to read the article and then reconsider your vote. especially since i have gone to great lengths to try and avoid as much speculation as possible in the creation of this article. J.L.Main 22:14, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

• I did read the article first. The Kinslayer 22:17, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Involuntary celibacy

Please leave me alone. My reasons are legitimate. Involuntary Celibacy is not a valid psychological category, and the article is redundant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.51.239 (talk • contribs)

stop

No offense, but stop being such an ass about the Ace Combat articles we will not merge them, nor will we ever. if we were to merge them the articles would be so freakin long it wouldn't look like an article. The game's article is about the game not the super weapons or the organisations. Stop.Sam ov the blue sand 00:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Please be civil Havok (T/C/e/c) 09:35, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Dude I know you are not talking to me because I said at the start of the post "No offense" I guess you don't know what that means.Sam ov the blue sand 00:06, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, people use that before saying something offensive in the misguided believe that it is better than not saying the potentially offensive to begin with. The Kinslayer 00:42, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Well sometimes there is no other way to get my piont across. Another thing about A World With No Boundaries You don't know me at all.Sam ov the blue sand 03:01, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, and you don't know me. Your point? The Kinslayer 15:51, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Exactally so don't go around calling people you don't know children. My point was (or is) that you were being an a$$ and not listening to other people's opinions.Sam ov the blue sand 01:19, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

As to your comment on the disscussion for the deletion of Ace Combat X Super Aircraft I will let people edit I don't WP:OWN the article its just that no one offers any help with the article's problems, I can't do everything, please help.Sam ov the blue sand 16:15, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ace Combat X Super Aircraft

Dear Editor, I just refactored your comment on the above AfD to a separate comment and signed it for you. The way you entered the comment, it appeared as if it was made by the person who started the AfD. Please always sign you edits, so it is clear who is making what comment. Regards, --Cpt. Morgan (Reinoutr) 10:48, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Ooops! Guess that's what happens when your half editing wiki and half keeping an eye out for your boss coming in! Thanks. The Kinslayer 10:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, and May the Edit be with you, always. T-borg ^{(drop me a line)} 19:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Hey thanks for letting me know about the Pikmin 3 article. I didn't get involved with the discussion, simply because after reading it again I kinda agreed with them :P. But it's always nice to know, thanks. Ka5hmir 01:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Spam

I don't feel I own any articles, please don't make such accusations. Darwin's Bulldog 18:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Also, I made mention that I was getting frustrated finding what I feel is spam in articles that created/contributed heavily as an example of how I kept finding links to the ghii page during my "crusade,"- as you so politely put it - so it's not that I feel I "own" anything here, it's that I kept finding it on numerous pages that I was in the process of editing and/or contributing to, and at times finding ghii info in inappropriate places (such as the beginning/middle of an article, with POV statements about the game etc). For more on what I've stated, feel free to check the ghii talk page again. Darwin's Bulldog 19:06, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Well I checked the history of every single GHII song article you 'cleaned' and didn't come across anything then one sentence which read 'This game is also featured in Guitar Hero II' in the most appropriate place. Never right at the front. If the article only has one paragraph, then thats where it went. If the article had a trivia section then it went there. The Kinslayer 19:53, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Several articles that were "stubs" appeared to be created only as a vessel as an add for the game. The Shout at the Devil article is one that immediatley comes to mind where there was a significant amount of info added in the middle of the article about the game, which I even wrote about in its talk page when I originally found it. If you're that interested, look at the history of song of the pages, including "Strutter" which originally had POV about the game that someone, other than myself mind you, edited out of the article. Darwin's Bulldog 20:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

"Strutter" - [1] Shout at the Devil - [2] - note the excess amount of info given, not a short one-liner as you've mentioned, these inparticular, started me on my "crusade." Darwin's Bulldog 20:22, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

But again, Why shouldn't it be mentioned that their music has been featured in a succesful game? I do agree there needn't be more than a line in the trivia section saying 'X song was featured in Y game' and anything more than that is pointless ,and indeed, very annoying. The Kinslayer 20:28, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Originally, my finding of the superfluous and POV info of the games included in inappropriate sections of the articles rubbed me the wrong way. Had it just been a small one-liner, such as what was present on the "Strutter" page for a long time, I wouldn't have made such a big deal out of it. But when I started to find articles created/stubbed that only had the song title + ghii info, that led me to believe that it was the doing of an overly-zealous fan or two trying to spread the word of the game. I mean, the creator(s)/editor(s) wouldn't even bother to go so far as to mention the album the song was from or any other easily obtained info, and seeing so much of it done on so many pages (by either new users, or users who usually weren't signed in) began to irritate me. I've tried to be cool about this, and I've tried hard not to flame anyone here. You guys could have been a little more friendly about all of this you know. I mean, look, I have evidence to back up my claims (as shown above), and have listed valid points on the talk page that have been overlooked or called "flawed" by means of fallacious arguements. I think we can agree that we're all on the same team here, you agree? Darwin's Bulldog 20:47, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Oh yeah, we're all just trying to improve articles as best we can. The (very frequent) problem with wiki is that people tend to end up pulling in opposite directions! The Kinslayer 21:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

FurryMUCK

I have added four references about the Furry MUCK to the article, and have removed the notability template that you added a month ago. Samboy 22:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Works for me! Doubt anyone will give you problems now! The Kinslayer 23:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The Sword

I think the page looks fine with the edits. Plain and simple is good.

That's bullshit and you know it. More information is better, all your doing is reverting the genre and systematically removing the band from any lists of music genres you disagree with. Anyway, Admins have been notified, so this will be resolved soon with any luck. The Kinslayer 16:52, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Nexuiz

I added a link to the PC Gamer article on Nexuiz to the article, which is here: http://www.alientrap.org/verm/nexuiz.jpg Giving it notability

appropriate use of tags

You put a {prod} on Zahid Al-Sheikh.

WP:PROD recommends you leave an advisory on the article creator's talk page. You skipped this step.

WP:DEL says that a perception that an article is written from a biased POV is not grounds for deletion.

I took a bried look at your contribution log. I saw you put an {npov} on another article, but didn't initiate a dialog as to why you think it shows bias. I think that is a mistake.

Please take a look at Please don;t leave links to patronising essays on my talk page thank you very much.

Cheers! -- Geo Swan 18:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Read what you posted again. It says advisory not compulsory. I am under no obligation to inform you or anyone else that I have marked an article for deletion, it is purely at my discretion. The Kinslayer 14:23, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

1. Yes, that is why I said recommends, not requires.
2. Just to be clear, are you acknowledging that your perception that an article is written from a biased POV is not grounds to nominate it for deletion? -- Geo Swan 19:51, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

In some cases, I'll agree, sometimes it's not enough by itself depedending on the content of the article. I don't agree that in every case it's right, but that's my personal feelings on the matter. Sorry for getting testy earlier. The Kinslayer 20:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Words of Thanks

I just wanted to thank you for helping me link up that new Chrononauts Timeline page. You were a real big help. Inspector Brown 23:21, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem man. It's a good game and the page has certainly been useful to me! The Kinslayer 23:30, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Littl'ans

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Littl'ans, which you proposed for deletion, because its deletion has previously been contested or viewed as controversial. Proposed deletion is not for controversial deletions. For this reason, it is best not to propose deletion of articles that have previously been de-{{prod}}ed, even by the article creator, or which have previously been listed on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. If you still feel the article should be deleted, please don't add the {{prod}} template back to the article, but feel free to list it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Thanks!

proposed deletion of UP Computer Center

Hi Kinslayer, I would just like to express my objection as to the proposed deletion of the U.P. Computer Center article. You mentioned that the "Facility does not seem notable enough for it's own article." I do not wish to ruffle the feathers of fellow Wikipedians, though if the article seems "not notable enough", then maybe it is due to the lack of content and references, which I, too, agree. But as an institution, I sincerely believe that the Computer Center of the premier state university in the Philippines (and one of the best in the country, just give a shout at the Philippine Wikipedia "Tambayan" to verify) is notable on its own.

When this article was created, I had a mind to place it within the UP Diliman article, but as other Filipino Wikipedia editors might say, the University article itself needs renovation and is getting quite lengthy. Hence, I made a separate article. This is in the spirit of further improving UP-related articles, as has been excellently done for the De La Salle University-Manila, which has a slew of its institutions/structures having their own articles.

Also note that the article is part of the Template:UP.

For now, I will remove the proposed deletion tag, until we can discuss it further (or elicit the opinion of other Filipino Wikipedians who might also be concerned). Just shoot me a message on my Talk page ;) Nevertheless, I'll try to improve upon the article in the coming weeks (when work permits me to). One of my biggest frustrations is not having found up to now an online reference re: one of the Computer Center's famed milestones -- having been one of the first (if not the first, as many would claim) Asian universities to have a supercomputer. I refrained from putting such unverifiable data on the article, for the moment.

Thanks for your time. -- Corsarius 14:18, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
