Hold off dude, I just lost a whole paragraph that's not even in the history anymore.M4bwav 21:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Somehow that got dropped when I removed the speedy deletion template. If you look at the differences between the last two templates, you may be able to find it. --BassoProfundo 21:18, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

I just rewrote it, I assume we are cool now. Have a good dayM4bwav 21:30, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Social Consulting Group

Note: I moved this message from Penn1740 from my main user page, where it was originally posted. BassoProfundo 20:39, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

I posted this re: social consulting group

This page is not an advertisement, but merely an article I thought could add to the collective knowledge available in Wikipedia. I made this article in the true spirit of the "wiki" ideas because I heard about this small startup company a friend of a friend created, saw his website, and thought it to be a novel idea. I plan to clean-up and add more factual information about origins and progress of the company shortly, but being a new user I am still tinkering in the sandbox on perfecting my wikipedia format.

Let me know what you think, I am lookign at other wiki articles about companies and trying to get ideas on how to rework it. Also, I dont believe that just because the article is small it should be unfairly discriminated agaisnt, this is a very small and very new company, but informationr regarding it ( however much or little is currently available) is still knowledge that serves the common good. There is no conatact info, no pricing guides, just a description of its short history and its mission as an active member of its community economy. I dont mean to be on a crusade, and I understand that abuse of wikipedia can not be tolerated, but seeing as this is not abuse and intentions are good, I feel like it should be allowed to stay and flourish, if in some time you feel that the article has becoem no mroe than a commercial, then we can revisit this point. Thanks

Re: Speedy deletion template on Vivian Owens

Hi there, thanks for the message. For an article to be speedily deleted there must be no assertion of notability. I wouldn't delete an article that stated the subject had written nine books, to me that's an assertion of notability (plus I had a look at www.amazon.co.uk to see if any of her books were currently available). However, as I'm sure you're aware that's not necessarily the end of the story. Even if notability is asserted the subject may not be notable enough to deserve a Wikipedia article, that's where discussion and consensus play their part. If you nominate an article for deletion at WP:AFD a discussion begins whereby the community at large can debate whether the subject is notable enough to be kept. Or, if you're sure an article should be delete it you can WP:PROD it. Deletion happens after five days unless anyone objects, if anyone does for any reason the prod is removed and if you still think it should go you would then have to go to AFD. I would advise you to look carefully at WP:CSD as the rules for what can be deleted speedily are pretty tight but they need to be to prevent good articles being deleted simply because they're not yet well written and simply need improvement. If you need any more info, let me know. I can't promise a quick reply over the weekend but I will try or you can just grab the nearest passing experienced user. I hope this helps though.

Speedy deletion of South Beach (nightclub)

I think I edited to the point where it provided the outstanding information. The article does not just appear to be an advertisement anymore. By the way do you go to BU? I have this feeling that you do. I think I might know you. In any case, my article is ready.

Userboxx

Yes, I understand what you mean. Can you help me with that? Too late now, I Think Iam a bit bit sleepy...

Hello Basso! Can you have a look at this? [1]

[2] Maybe Iam a bit lost...

Well, actually my goal is to create a userbox and enale to all other users.

By criating a Ludovicapipausebox, what do you mena? A "personal" usebox?

Do you want me to sign all msgs? -- Ludovicapipa ^msg 17:13, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

I thought that one signature would be enough, as long as I write the msg within this space...

Marucci

Hey, can you take a look again at that page for Marucci Bat Company? I don't work for the company, I just read about it and heard mention of it on ESPN tonight; since some of the bigger names of baseball are using it, I reckon it is as worthy for an article as Hillerich & Bradsby aka Louisville Slugger

Pokemon Flynon Version

Dude you got a serious problem. Well why are you checking people's userpages. anyway, he will reference the article soon.

User:Wflynn12's USLister.com on List of search engines

Maybe best to leave this persistant addition there until the article gets deleted. Then there is zero excuse to have the link and if he recreates the article there are further steps that can be used to stop the mess (prohibit article creation, block the user, etc). DMacks 15:39, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Good point. I'll leave it up until we have the precedent of the article's deletion. BassoProfundo 15:42, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Love to Infinity

Hi! I reviewed your CSD nomination for this article and I believe it does assert notability because it claims the band is "platinum selling". It doesn't verify the claim and the band may well ultimately not be notable or verifiable. Suggest using the regular AfD process to determine this. Best, --Shirahadasha 02:20, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for catching that. The article did not have that claim when I originally nominated it, but thank you for pointing out the change. BassoProfundo 02:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that ..

I clicked the wrong link on my anti-vandal tool, and then IE hung, so it took a while to reverse it. Sorry for the hassle. Philip Trueman 18:23, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Earth, Inc. page

Thanks for the note, if I make some changes to it, would you mind reevaluating it? It's not meant to be a promotional page and I will add a tidbit about why it's significant. --Eppyie 19:55, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi BassoProfundo, can you take a look (User:Eppyie/Earth, Incorporated) to see whether it now satisfies wikipedia's requirements? Thanks. --Eppyie 01:18, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey, would you mind taking a look at this page again and let me know what I need to change to make it a viable wikipedia page. Thanks --Eppyie 17:39, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

trans woman vs. transwomen

Hi, I'm not going to oppose these changes as I'm not sure there exists any definitive way to prove which should be used ... but ... please don't cite the non-consensus at one talkpage - a "local consensus" in wikispeak. Simply state it's more grammatical in your opinion or something. In this way if others object or revert we can see if a more formal discussion should take place. This is better in the long run, if no one opposes then no issue for now, if someone does we don't want to imply a final decision was made. Go for it but leave the door open for dissent please. -- Banjeboi 22:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Hi again, please work to show we have consensus rather than just state we have it. I'd like to see some compelling reason to go with one vs the other as I haven't seen evidence either way that is definitive. -- Banjeboi 00:45, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

As I stated (again) at Talk:Transwoman, we have consensus because there is *no opposition* to the objections raised, while at the same time there are several people confirming those objections. One term is offensive; the other is not. What else are you looking for? BassoProfundo (talk) 00:51, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Not exactly. There are at least three editors saying you should stop until we actually have some reliable sources that support your point of view. I've seen nothing presented yet on either transman or transwoman that definitively shows one is better or preferred than the other. At this point I'll make it clear - please stop. Discuss and help come to an informed decision with reliable sourcing that shows one version is preferred. Many people object to gay, queer, homophile, invert and homosexual but we have articles on them all. We are an encyclopedia and our standards are not the same as a blog, a book or a magazine. Please discuss this issue before continuing with your mass changes. -- Banjeboi 01:49, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Those are, yet again, objections to change rather than objections to the term "trans woman." I will stop, but I nevertheless object to this tactic of halting changes for the sake of purely hypothetical objections. BassoProfundo (talk) 01:54, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

I appreciate your willingness to discuss. The issue isn't that you are right or wrong, the issue is we don't know. It's better to have an authentic consensus based on reliable sources so we get the right decision, not just the one five folks at that time prefer. If we have a decision based in sourcing it helps us know what is the correct spelling for when teh next person comes along and insists it should be trans wymmin and we are insulting everyone by not spelling it that way. We want to has a healthy discussion now and it solves a lot of problems down the road for all concerned. We need to do due diligence and update the article accordingly so the world has the best information. -- Banjeboi 02:17, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

We have, among other things, the citation to the Serano book, which is also outlined in the Trans woman article itself. I love to have as solid a case as possible concerning the usage of "transwoman," but at the very least there are already objections from published sources, the talk page, and that blog post among others (which demonstrates that this opinion exists, whether or not any independent sources note them). I will note once again that there has been absolutely no objection to the term "trans woman" other than that it would require a change which might later be reversed. It is incredibly annoying to be asked not to be bold just because somebody might hypothetically disagree with the usage of "trans woman." BassoProfundo (talk) 02:31, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

The only sourcable item is the Serano book, the rest is opinion. It's better to get it right so let's see what reliable sources have to say on the issue and work toward a consensus. -- Banjeboi 04:04, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
