List of Warcraft Characters

edit

Could you please be a bit more careful when trimming articles like that? I had to restore about 4/6 of the remove chars, because they were sufficiently important to stay. I'm AGF here, but be more careful in future, and don't make such edits without concensus unless you've played the related parts of the game/book/whatever in question. Even then be careful. If you want to be productive, why not take some (but not all) of the info on Archimonde in wowwiki, and pad out his secment a bit? He's a major char and only has one line as the article stands now.--Pharod42 (talk) 00:31, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Perhaps, but it seemed to be a lot more than you, or anyone else was doing on the article. All of you just set there when it was in AFD, and all of you just set there when other people offered advice. Either someone need's to clean that article up, or next time it goes to afd, it won't be there to clean up. --businessman332211 (talk) 04:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
You are right, but frankly, noone who's interested (myself included) seems to have the time to clean it up. We basically just do sporadic patches of the major problems that come up and hope nobody AFD's it again. You could try making a list of the iffy chars and put it on the talk page, and I'll try to look over them and remove/trim as necessary? Something like that could work? Incidentally, I've deleted the Razorgore the Untamed bit, as well as his own article several times, and he just keeps popping back up. I don't know why.--Pharod42 (talk) 05:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Sounds good. I will work up some lists, of minor characters I think need to get removed. Then we can talk about them together. Sounds good. I just got frustrated on that one because everyone was saying "We need to remove minor characters", " we need to update headers" and everything else but no-one was doing it (that's what be bold is about). So I just did it. Let me work up a list and we'll look over them together. --businessman332211 (talk) 14:20, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply
Well, was good while it lasted. I hope to see you upon recreation of the article, helping keep Aku'mai and similer out?--Pharod42 (talk) 22:24, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Warcraft characters

edit

Great idea to fix up this article!! Usually I find the best way to fix an article is to have a model to see what the format is and what types of information are needed. Take this one for example; List of Metal Gear Solid characters, which is also currently the only featured character list. I hope this helps, keep up the good work!

Thanks I appreciate it. There are a few I have my eye's on to fix now, and right now I am intending on creating a couple of new one's and maintaining the one's I have created. --businessman332211 (talk) 14:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

Your RfA

edit

I regret to tell you I have closed your RfA early in accordance with Wikipedia:Snowball clause, it is now archived. Please do not be discourage, adminship is not everything - keep up the good work! Qst 18:24, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

Of course it's not everything. It is just something that gives people access to do more things on wikipedia to help than they could have. I am a little pissed because of what was said though. I am just unable to believe someone thinks that I think wikipedia is a joke. I am really considering that to be a time for me to move on. I can't imagine someone telling someone they think something is a joke. Nothing else has offended me this much. But i have spend 8-9 hours straight some days doing NOTHING but editing wikipedia, and someone says something like that to me.. I don't really know what to say. The other's were constructive, throughout the next 2-3 months if I am around I know what to work on towards becoming a better wikipedian. Thanks for letting me know. --businessman332211 18:42, 1 December 2007 (UTC)Reply


Notability of Fantasy Realms (webcomic)

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Fantasy Realms (webcomic), by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Fantasy Realms (webcomic) is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Fantasy Realms (webcomic), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Censorship

edit

Although new to Wiki, I do not know of any Wiki rule or policy that gives one editor the right to censor the contribution of another editor. I am trying to improve the Wiki article on Clairvoyance, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clairvoyance. This is essentially an article on parapsychology and I happen to be knowledgeable in the subject matter. I have tried to add four fair, neutral and well-referenced paragraphs to balance the atricle. However, within minutes other editors click on Undo, and revert or delete my material. This is not science. It is censorship. I sent a message to one to invite negotiation. He would not discuss any issues but only encouraged me to begin DR, which he knows is a long and complicated process. So I am asking for advise from an experienced editor. Can you help?RAmesbury (talk) 21:45, 12 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

I had to move the conversation here as it was on my user page initially. In order to help with your problem you need to look at the other person's perspective. Did you ask them why they keep doing it. I use to do that when I first started, but generally if you go to revision history it'll say why they are undoing it. For example in the message history there is a brief description of all user actions perhaps someone put a note as to why they were reverting to give you an idea of why they felt it doesn't belong. If it was a vandal bot it may have picked it up falsly as vandalism when it really wasn't. --businessman332211 (talk) 18:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)Reply

X-Men Fairy Tales

edit

I've closed the merge discussion concerning X-Men Fairy Tales .

My apologies for the late closure, there has been a backlog on such discussions. - jc37 02:47, 15 May 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for closing the merger. That was long-waited. I wanted to get that taken care of. I was on vacation and now I am back. Just drop me a message on my page if you need anything. Thanks again. This is in regards to that article you removed the merger on awhile back and you left a message about it on my page. businessman332211 (talk) 14:00, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
Took me a moment to recall (though I did, before looking here : )
When done with that, we have a few other mergers which need implementation, if you're interested : ) - jc37 21:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)Reply
I am definitely interested. I have been here awhile and I have done a lot of different things. I haven't done merger's yet. If you wouldn't mind feeling me in on some of what is involved..I would love to give you a helping hand. Perhaps we can tag team some mergers or something. I am interested in a wide variety of topics so I am sure that is something I could get involved in.
Well, as a start, check out WP:CMC/NB. There are several merges (among other things) there. The key with merges is to make certain that you check the talk pages of both articles to familiarise yourself with any possible concerns, and it's not a bad idea to check the edit histories as well, for some possibly enlightening edit summaries as well. (I also like to check WhatLinksHere, and filter out the links, to see what redirects might already be in place, as well as filtering by Wikipedia namespace to see if there have been any previous XfD or RM discussions.)
The short version is: I like to be thorough : )
Anyway, I hope this helps. If you have any other questions/concerns, please feel free to ask : ) - jc37 00:43, 2 September 2008 (UTC)Reply

Hii Joyel

Hii!!

How are you!? I was reading your profile and you seem pretty nice! Well, I'm new at wikipedia. I study in ITESM in MExico City and I have a business english class. I have for homework make an account on wikipedia because at the end of the semester we will do an article here. So I have many questions and I was just wondering if you can help out.

Not that we have any things in common (check my userbox if you like), but I think you can really help me.

Hope you can answer me. Thanks! Bye Theoneinblue (talk) 03:12, 12 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
