Sure you can help! —The Great Llama^moo? 21:36, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Anything, really. Updating the selected article, updating news and categories, and adding more info do "Did you know" are some suggestions. —The Great Llama^moo? 00:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Keep per nom

You just voted "keep per nom" on an AfD here. AfD nominations are there to get articles deleted, not kept. You might want to look at that nomination again. _JD^talk 20:00, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Double "voting"

I removed your second "delete" from Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/MiniEgo. It's not a good idea to "vote" twice on the same AfD. yandman 08:23, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I must have forgot that I had already voted on that AfD. Thanks for catching my mistake! FirefoxMan 12:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Pandagon vote

Can you please explain your vote on this AfD page? It seem that the blog clearly satisfies the second criteria for the requirement. What more is needed to satisfy the requirement? IrnBru001 17:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

The Weblog Awards and the Take Back America conference do not get articles, and they are sited as awards. Awards must be notable to be counted. Being in the top ten of a major magazine is not enough, unless it was above #3. FirefoxMan 20:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

In your opinion. I believe both are important enough to warrant their own articles. I see no reason to think that the top ten of a major magazine isn't enough. Your claim in not supported in the guideline. The article mets the current guideline, you are now trying to change the guideline. The article needs to be judged against the guideline AS IT IS WRITTEN. If you want to change that guideline then discuss it on that pages talk page. IrnBru001 20:54, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I do not consider it an award to be in a list, and AfDs are supposed to be ask users for their input and opinion on the noteworthiness of a article. FirefoxMan 23:12, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

No thats the problem, your supposed to judge it against the existing standard. That's what your failing to do. IrnBru001 23:21, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

More doubles

Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Pandagon. And there you voted against yourself... yandman 17:14, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

I must remember to check more carefully. Thanks again. FirefoxMan 19:46, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Your user page sucks. :D

You are looking at fixing your user page up? Do you have any ideas of what you want on it, or the layout yet? --Elaragirl^Talk|Count 15:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, art nor web design are my strong points. Anything you could do would be better than the awful thing I have know. Thanks! FirefoxMan 16:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Your redesign first draft is up on your page now. See what you'd like to add, remove, or change around and let me know. --Elaragirl^Talk|Count 17:28, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

The only thing I think is that the wikistress looks too large. Can you split the WikiProjects table with it so there is not so much empty space? Thanks agin. FirefoxMan 19:34, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh, and also, can you add the Status back in somehow? FirefoxMan 19:37, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Good job on all those AfD's!

Yay, my second barnstar ever! Thanks, Elaragirl! FirefoxMan 19:57, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Check out your page, too. :D --Elaragirl^Talk|Count 19:59, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

That seems to be it! Thanks once again! FirefoxMan 20:02, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

WP:UW

Hi,

You have put yourself as interested in helping out atWikiProject on user warnings. We are now at a stage where we are creating the new templates and are wondering if you are still interested? If so please visit the overview page and choose a warning type you wish to work on. There is a base template available here, which you can copy and use to get you started. Have a look through the redirects and see what old templates are affected and incorporate them into the the new system. Anyway, any questions please don't hesitate to give me a shout.

Whip Jones

I've revamped the Whip Jones page and I'm asking for a revote. Please see the discussion on this. Please reply there to comment on what you think we need to fix or delete in order to keep the article. Obviously I want to get my first attempt an an article correct. Gentle advice please.

69.19.14.44 07:04, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

Firefoxman, I've noticed that you base some of your AfD discussions and worthiness on ghits, I spent some time Googling the different variations of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whip Jones you can see the ghits results on the discussion page. If you have a moment and could reexamine the updated Whip Jones article itself, and perhaps reconsider your reccomendation, I would appreciate it.

Rede Lecture

Rede Lecture is nothing like a speedy. The Two Cultures, one of the most famous single public lectures of the twentieth century, is in this series. Most of the lecturers so far on the list are major figures about whom WP has articles already. Charles Matthews 21:52, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Sea Studios Foundation

I created Sea Studios Foundation this page from AFC and you marked it as a speedy delete. I think this article should be part of Wikipedia because it is not advertising and is notable. I also intend to wikify this article. Contact me at User talk:Natl1.--Natl1 22:03, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

• Regarding your response: I do not believe the article is advertisment in its current form. If you still think it is advertisment, please change the deletion process from speedy to AFD. This will allow differnt users to have their say. --Natl1 22:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Patrick Cotter O'Brien

I created Patrick Cotter O'Brien and you marked it as a speedy delete because, apparently, it is not notable based on the content. This person needed, my thinking goes, to be added to the existing category: People over eight feet tall to complete that list. I plan on expanding the article later.Mytg8 22:27, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Master of the Playing Cards

He is certainly notable; he was the first important engraver. There are many redlinks to him already (as you could have checked), he has a Commons category (Meister von der Spielkarten), will probably soon have a German Wiki article etc. User:DGG has expressed an interest in doing the article (see my talk page); I have just put down a stub now (5 minutes ago) for fear that officious users like you will remove the redlinks.

By the way you did not create a new section on my talk page for your comment; please remember to do this in future. Might I suggest you go and hang some Xmas decorations? all best wishes for the season Johnbod 22:38, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

"St. Edwards C of E"

I am currently making changes to the article in question, i have asked for finding relevant information on the school, however i do not know quite what would be considered "relevant". I was considering talking of sporting successes (the volleyball team of the school made it through to the under 16's world volleyball championship). I was also considering mentioning the charity work that the school undertakes, including performing a "rag week" which this year raised over £5000 for various charities: please tell me what would be more relevant so i may amend any mistakes, thank you. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Twilight Aruseus (talk • contribs) 22:52, 23 December 2006 (UTC).

I have completely gone over the article, and with assistance from a few other people, i think it is satisfactory to become an article, when you have time would you be so kind as to check it, if it is fine to go through with, thank you very much for your assistance.

Speedy tagging of The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead

I have removed the speedy deletion tag from The Blonde, the Brunette and the Vengeful Redhead, as the article does make a claim to some level of notability. You ought to bring the article to AfD if you wish to pursue deletion. JDoorjam Talk 23:48, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

NPWatcher made a mess

Here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2006 day, December 22, 22

Looks like those two AfDs never got posted to the real AfD logs, and there's no delete reason listed for the Willard Prentiss article. Might want to clean that up and add them to the end of the current AfD log. —Trevyn 03:08, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

State The Obvious

Is this now suitable for Wikipedia? --Scorpiusdiamond 18:15, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Chuck E. Chaos

Because the AfD has been closed, I am now fighting for it's reinstatement. You alleged that the article failed WP:BIO. I do not agree with you and I would like to know specifically why you believe it failed. CURSE OF FENRIC ^{home talk usage} 02:45, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

TrekBBS Deletion Review

Thank you for your opinions in the TrekBBS AFD. I do not agree with the closing admin's decision and have listed this now under Deletion Review. As you had participated in the AFD, I wished to inform you this in case you wished to voice your opinion on this --Brian_{(view my history)}/^{(How am I doing?)} 17:47, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Tone template

You have a lot of cheek marking Postage stamps and postal history of Yugoslavia with {{tone}} without actually taking the trouble to say what needs fixing. If you're really someone who is able to contribute with a "professional" level of English, why not display this supposed proficiency rather than engaging in the illiterate practice of adding templates with tools?
