Selex (god)

Selex is not a joke. It is truth. If you have a problem send EMAIL to tyluthan@yahoo.com THANK YOUOuijalover 20:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

I put the Selex (god) page on so it CAN be verified. I want the world to know that there are more religions in the world that people know about.Ouijalover 20:12, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Respect me and i will respect you. You can not verifiy you live in the US so delete your page. I dont want to be mean but you are being a hipocrite.Ouijalover 20:20, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Look, I respect that you wish to make wikipedia a informative website but you should spend your time deleting things that need deletion. What I put up on wikipedia is not hurting anybody. And who cares if it is unverifiable. The existanse of Jesus is not verifiable. It could be a conspiracy theory. And that is my point: Do not delete anything unless it is harmful.Ouijalover 20:45, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Yeah. You know I am right and have a point. Just leave me alone. I aint hurting anyone. Go delete something like the " " entry. Or since it is unverifiable the jesus entry. Please just let me let the world know of my religion. Please just be a good person. I am not asking you to support it or join it. All I ask is that you respect our differences and let me put a page up. It is appropriat and it is not harmful. Thank you if you do decide to let me let the world knowOuijalover 00:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I am not trying to be a jerk either. And Like I said I respect that you are trying to make wikipedia a good place. Would it be acceptable to make the "Tyluthan" and Selex (god) pages under my user:ouijalover page. Thank you.Ouijalover 00:30, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

THANK YOU! please do not delete those pages too.Ouijalover 00:33, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Is there a way to put a easy to find link into wikipedia so people will easily find my page? Thank youOuijalover 00:38, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

I am aware that i am probobly pissing you off with all the comments but how do you create a sub page?Ouijalover 00:52, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

If you do not mind could you put a link to my page on yours?Ouijalover 00:54, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Stephen Garcia

I am concerned about the recent deletion of the the Stephen Garcia article that was posted earlier today. Stephen committed to the University of South Carolina yesterday, December 7, 2006. According to WP:BIO "Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles." I am not questioning your knowledge of the wikipedia rules and I just want you to let me recreate my article. Please leave a comment on my talk page about this issue. Thanks. Smellslikebrett 22:17, 8 December 2006 (UTC) —

The previous quote was taken directly from WP:BIO. It states that first team players who have not made an appearance are notable. The rules mention "first team", not "first string" as you mentioned. Stephen Garcia is not going to be playing on the South Carolina B-team. Please leave a comment about this on my talk page. Thanks.

I am very disappointed in your judgement as a wikipedia administrator. I would appreciate it if you would maintain the integrity of the site by not abusing your position as an administrator and interpreting the article regulations of wikipedia in your own manner. Personnaly, I feel the first team is refering to the top level (in this case varsity) of athletic competition that a team has to offer. This is a public site, and the view of one (you in this case)is no more important than any other Wiki user just beacuse you are an administrator. I do not know how issues about regulations are normally interpreted, but i feel that it is wrong to allow and administrator to interpret them to what they feel is right in each situation because this allows for personal feuds to prevent the public from getting the useful information.

VandalProof 1.2 Now Available

After a lenghty, but much-needed Wikibreak, I'm happy to announce that version 1.2 of VandalProof is now available for download! Beyond fixing some of the most obnoxious bugs, like the persistent crash on start-up that many have experienced, version 1.2 also offers a wide variety of new features, including a stub-sorter, a global user whitelist and blacklist, navigational controls, and greater customization. You can find a full list of the new features here. While I believe this release to be a significant improvement over the last, it's nonetheless nowhere near the end of the line for VandalProof. Thanks to Rob Church, I now have an account on test.wikipedia.org with SysOp rights and have already been hard at work incorporating administrative tools into VandalProof, which I plan to make available in the near future. An example of one such SysOp tool that I'm working on incorporating is my simple history merge tool, which simplifies the process of performing history merges from one article into another. Anyway, if you haven't already, I'd encourage you to download and install version 1.2 and take it out for a test-drive. As always, your suggestions for improvement are always appreciated, and I hope that you will find this new version useful. Happy editing! --AmiDaniel (talk) 02:56, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Wisconsin Historical Society Link on NBC article

Hi Mhking

I noticed you removed the link to the NBC collection at the Wisconsin Historical Society. I think people would like to know where the corporate archives of NBC are located. I may have gone overboard with listing the size of the collection, but people normally don't associate Wisconsin as a major holder of mass media collections. The Wisconsin Historical Society is a government agency with an over fifty year committment to collecting mass media materials in the US. It is not selling anything, unless you count the photocopies of documents people produce during their visit to Madison.

The NBC papers at the WHS are the office files of NBC executives from 1921-1955. It's over 500 boxes of material. If you want to see how NBC changed from a radio to a television network, you don't go to New York, you come to Madison, Wisconsin. We also have the papers of United Artists, Rod Serling, Kirk Douglas, David Brinkley and hundreds of other well known media figures and organizations. This is partly due to the prestige of having the NBC collection, but it was also helped by the fact that no one else made an effort to even ask for this type of material in the 50's and 60's. United Artists gave us their scripts, posters, lobby card, pressbooks, legal contracts and more because UA saw no value to keeping them.

List of text editors edit

Hi,

You just reverted a change I made to "List of text editors"

Link to edit

I feel like my addition is worthwhile. Perhaps this was a mistake?

Best, Andy

Question

You de-'vandalised' my edit to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Keith_Andrews_%28criminologist%29 and yet all I was doing was removing irrelevant garbage from that page which was neither talk, as per Wiki guidelines, nor pertinent. I've just edited it to be blank. I see no reason why it should have anything on it at all. If the person responsible for tinkering with the main page for that person thinks that that information is important enough then they should put it on the main page. Do you not agree ? And the info I added first time around was in reference to an accusation by them of me (?) writing "anonymous letters" and addressed to "George" (?) - see their last couple of edits to the main page. I was simply using the 'talk' page for the purpose for which it was intended.

Hi. I was wondering if I could put those Selex and Tyluthan pages up. I forgot to tell that threr is verifiability. The sources are just hard to get.Ouijalover 18:59, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

I am surely aware of the fact that I sound like a raving lunatic. But like I said there are two books out about it. They are just accessable only to a follower of Tyluthan. Plus I am 12. I am very smart but with my lack a philisofical skills I could never create religion. I don't expect you to believe that but please do. I still do not understand why I can not put it up. It is truthful and with the HBoT (Hoy Bible of Tyluthan) It is verifiable.Ouijalover 22:28, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Hello. My name is jack abd I wanted to let you know that user:ouijalover is not insane. I will agree he is eccentric. But I am a tyluthan too. Tyluthan is real. May Me or Ouijalover put a page up for Tyluthan and Selex? PleaseTyluthan 22:49, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

How do become and administrator?Ouijalover 22:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

When I said there was only a few tyluthans i forgot to remamber the ones not in ct. there are about 3,000 tyluthans. And the HBoT is not secret. you just need to request it by email.Ouijalover 00:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Tyluthan is not a joke. It is truth and you will have to believe me. And the tyluthan@yahoo is not a "personal" email. All tyluthans can access it.Please just deal with the pages that me and other tyluthans put up. It is not harmful and it is verifiable.Ouijalover 00:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

As I have said about 50 times the book is easy to get from email. Most of the followers are paranoid and do not like to be reaserched. If you want it send an email to tyluthan@yahoo.comHBot 00:25, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Why can't you just leave the page alone? it is harmlessTyluthan 00:48, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Tyluthan IS verifiable. the HBoT

I can all but the widely availible part.Tyluthan 00:58, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

I already told you It can be accessed. You just need to request it ny Email.Tyluthan 13:29, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Remember the Tyluthan Ritual Books can not be seen by the public including normal Tyluthans. That does not apply to the HBoT (Holy Bible of Tyluthan).Tyluthan 13:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Tyluthan is not some sick joke. And even if it was you would still have to tolerate it because of the First ammendment wich clearly states FREEDOM OF RELIGIONTyluthan 13:34, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

You know that deleteing thoses religios pages is a Felony Hate Crime? Just thought you should know. Lets just say you are luck we live in differend states or I'd press charges71.234.32.84 21:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Apology accepted but i am still pissed. Mabey you should stop with the heavy duty deleting until you are an administrator.Ouijalover 00:46, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Why did you erase my entry to the directv channel list? GMC shows up as channel 1030 in my TiVo! And how is that considered "vandalism"? It was a legitimate entry! Just because your receiver shows one channel doesnt mean that mine can't show a different one! Christ I thought I was doing something nice by adding it, only to find out that I wasn't "contributing", I was vandalizing! I only did the test so that I made sure that it looked the same as the rest of the page. I'm going to put it back. Stop deleting things that are true.

Thanks for voting! Hello Mhking/Archive 2, and thank you so much for voting in my recent RfA. I am pleased to inform you that it passed with a final tally of (119/1/3), into the WP:100, so I have now been cleared for adminship and will soon be soaring above the clouds. I was overjoyed, shocked, and humbled by the tally, and, most importantly, all the support. Thank you. If there is ever anything you need, you know where you can find me. Take care.

I'm glad you took the time to evaluate my candidacy, and I'll be working hard to justify the vote of confidence you've placed in me. Please let me know at my talk page if you need any admin-related assistance, or simply if you have any comments on my performance as an admin. Thanks! TheProject 02:12, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

RE: Pokémon

A Minor note here: I don't think what we reverted can be considered vandalism. Sure, the information does not belong in the main Pokémon article, but it's more of a NPOV violation more than anything else. PCEevee ^talk 12:41, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

Reverted to Vandalized version of Batman article

Just wanted to give you a heads-up that you reverted the Batman article back to a vandalized version of the article. 66.67.123.190 has been vandalizing the page recently and has been asked to stop their particular edits that "Batman is not a superhero..." which is clearly not the case here.--Cnjartist 21:34, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Interstate 285 and unbuilt interstate alignments...major edit

Remember to mark your edits as minor when, but only when, they genuinely are (see Wikipedia:Minor edit). Marking a major change as a minor one, or vice versa, is considered poor etiquette. The rule of thumb, is that an edit of a page that consists of spelling corrections, formatting, and minor rearranging of text should be flagged as a 'minor edit'. —C.Fred (talk) 18:45, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

Openly Conservative

FYI - I don't disagree with your removal of the word "Openly" I only inserted it as a pre-emptive to try and stop someone removing the word "conservative" - which Medved openly and proudly is. Past experience has shown me that if someone is described factually as either "conservative" or liberal" - then someone else will construe its inclusion as having been a pejorative! I had been hoping to avoid that perception by people by stating that he was openly conservative... (as in not ashamed of it - and therefore not a pejorative.) So much for that!

External links

You removed some external links in the entries for the CSI shows, linking to www.crimelab.nl. According to policy for External Links, they fit, since content not integrated into the article is provided in a NPOV. According to an older mod edit it is ok to list one or two fansites if they adhere to this criteria so I don't see why it should be removed. The link was removed in a cleanup session by someone else earlier today and I placed them back as the link follows the policy. --Fogeltje 17:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

I apologize for troubling you with this, I reread the guidelines on external linking at it seems I overread something namely A page that you own or maintain, even if the guidelines above imply that it should be linked. While I do not own the site, I do maintain the site with the owner by keeping parts of the content (including CSI and CSI: NY (but not CSI: Miami)) up to date (even though I remain neutral as far as the content is concerned). Therefore the link should not have been added by me in the first place, but by a real neutral third party, even though I still believe it fits Wikipedia's NPOV and adds content not provided by Wikipedia. Sorry for wasting your time, I should read the guidelines more closely.--Fogeltje 20:51, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

BET

I'm willing to talk about it, but it isn't vandalism. The channel most definitely is racist. What would you call something named "white entertainment television"? What would the NAACP call it? BET is racist, plain and simple, as it excludes other races. I think this is an important thing to remember and mention.

Please let me know your thoughts, I will refrain from editing further until we discuss this, out of respect for your opinion.

I'm going to have to ask you to change your tone. I'm talking this through instead of trying to force it through, and I've only reverted to my edit once, you and some anonymous user are the only ones who modified it. You need to acknowledge that in your tone and drop the threats. This cannot be a successful discussion if you don't stop making threats.

BET is not racist merely because of the name. It profiles racially, as it is intended for blacks, and not whites, and is racist in it's programming, showcasing black actors, musicians, etc, and not whites. This practice is racist, and I challenge you to claim otherwise. They make their decisions solely on race, with no other factors. There is no other word for this kind of practice.

I take it by your silence you agree and I should re-enter the edit? I've taken this to talk for several days now and no one seems to be offering a rebuttle. I'll give this one more day and then take the silence as concession.

Spanish language networks are not racist because, believe it or not, Spanish is a language not an ethnicity. Argentines are white, Mexicans Latino, Spanish European, and they all watch Spanish language programming because they are more comfortable seeing something in their native tongue because it is what they spoke first. Black is not a language.

You need to WP:AGF, I am not being obtuse, you are, and you are showing strong POV. Why would White Entertainment Television "would be geared toward and programmed toward a white supremacist crowd, and aimed at the exclusion of and subjugation of a particular racial group or groups". Does Black Entertainment Television serve the purpose of Black Supremacy... well yes, actually it does. Thank you for proving my point.

BET is racist in every sense of the word, Black people just don't like being reminded that they are as bigoted as everyone else.

Jean-Michel Aulas

Hi, I've placed a {{holdon}} tag on J-M A. since he is a French football executive of some note and there is information in that VERY brief stub. I placed a "French football stub" on J-M A. and someone who is interested in French football can expand the stub. Cheers V. Joe 18:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

Quick draw: Not to worry, I've been regularly included (sometimes with justification, more often not) of the same thing. Generally speaking, if the contributor is reasonable, she/he is more likely to address my deletion request or NOT deletion request with reason. People who are less reasonable either delete tags, ignore me completely, don't know enough about wikipedia to contest it... or go ape. Cheers V. Joe 18:06, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

List of DirecTV channels possible deletion

User:Blaxthos put the article up for deletion, not through AfD, but as a blatant violation of WP:NOT. Because of my contesting this, I removed the tag, as Blaxthos' deletion tag would've deleted the page within 5 days. --myselfalso 09:18, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

AfD discussion welcome. I had no idea there would be strong opposition -- notice on talk pages went unanswered for several days; that's why prod can be removed by anyone.  ;-)

You asked for reasoning regarding the deletion selection... Wikipedia should not try to be a collection of all information; this was recognized and codified in what Wikipedia is not. I encourage a narrow reading of what should be included in Wikipedia, for pragmatic as well as managerial concerns. In each case, these articles appear to be nothing more than lists of stations of TV, or television stations themselves... clearly a directory, which is explicitly covered in WP:NOT. No matter how useful the articles may be, they're outside the guidelines of inclusion. Perhaps there is a suitable transwiki home (or userspace, if all else fails)? /Blaxthos 15:37, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Obviously there is a lot of support to keep the articles. I listed them in good faith simply because of WP:NOT, and because I've seen articles become stale when their main shepphard moves on and they're left orphaned. In the channel listings case, perhaps we should stub off the main article, then? To answer your question, I would say "yes" regarding removing the other lists as well, given my druthers. I kinda gauge my views based on Britanica (my tried and true growing up) and the wikipedia guidelines/policies. Often I see policies ignored or subjugated with the "well if we follow policy this time we'll be opening a can of worms" argument (the old slippery slope). I'm definitely not in favor of the "we do it there, so it's okay here" and the "slippery slope" arguements, but obviously this is why we have discussions instead of giving just one user the power to delete anything. Appreciate the discussion. ;-) /Blaxthos 15:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

You seem to be fairly involved with this article, looking at the edit history. I see that you've reverted edits by Qdub4lyfe...many many many times. Just a warning to watch out for his edits again. Here's the Interstate 14 edit history. I don't know if action has been taken against him or his history, and this appears to be consistent and repetitive disruptive editing.

User StavK

Hi, I just took a look at User_talk:StavK after he vandalized Fascism 2x in quick succession -- literally begging to be banned from editing. I see that he's had multiple warnings, most recently from yourself. I suppose this is a form of virtual assisted-suicide. :) I think you should do the honors! Cgingold 01:18, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Hello, again & thanks for your reply (yes, I chuckled). After reading your warning to StavK, I assumed that you were a WP admin and could ban him yourself. But I'm not sure you're really an admin...

Thanks for the reply. LOL, guess you thought there was no beltway period around Harrisburg. PYLrulz 12:16, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Goblu and Beatosu

I attempted to write an article about Goblu and Beatosu (two fictional towns that were inserted into a Michigan map in 1978) and the story around it (copyright traps, etc.). But Mr King huffed that my article was "nonsense" and deleted before I could even finish writing it! Some, "roadfan"! Next time, pal, wait until the damn thing is finished before you start passing judgements, okay? (Oh, and you have this power...how?)RMc 21:23, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Mr King's reply: As opposed to what appears to be a nonsense article about two names that no one would search on, perhaps an article on road map copyright traps would have been a more appropriate title, and certainly one less likely to be construed as a nonsense article. There was no intent on offending, however, when something appears to be nonsensical, it is usually addressed quickly by myself or others who patrol for such things. --Mhking 21:25, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

"No one"? Says who? You? Read the article first before you pass judgements. "Road geek"? I think not. Oh, and try being a bit more polite. RMc 21:49, 24 November 2006 (UTC)

Re: user 71.195.67.241's edits

Regarding this edit. Why did you leave a note on the users talk page about "adding nonsense"? All he/she did was remove the word "Brianne" from the infobox title. There is nothing nonsensical or requiring a revert about that edit. Kelly Clarkson's middle name is already mentioned in the opening summary and doesn't need to be included in the infobox title as well, this is common practice. I notice the user has repeated the edit, please don't revert it this time. Thanks. —B33R ^{Talk • Contribs} 00:11, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Putting back top programs of 2001-2002?

It wasn't so much that I was only going to post 2001-2002. I was in the process of including all the seasons starting from 2001-2002. Would you mind if I continue that process? --Dechnique23 00:26, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

But if I have all the information of top shows since 2001-2002, why shouldn't I put it online? This is supposed to be an informational web site. And why be a stickler for this particular information? Do you suggest any other page for this content? Just wondering --Dechnique23 00:32, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

help

i need help with something very important, can you help me out ??? Kjdsf9dsfsf

Hi I saw under my profile that I was considered for spamming and don't think it was appropriate for I'm still learning and improving how to navigate wikipedia, and add info that is particular to subjects I have experience with. Is There any way you could take a look at them and let me know what you think? Got any ideas? I have started to look over the guidelines for articles and they don't seem to be working so I'll wait for some of your feedback on my talk or discussion page. thanks Mcdav 22:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Editing links

Hi, I just got a message from you about my editing of links on the college bowl games. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:75.36.213.220&redirect=no I posted a response there and on my (unfortunately anonymous) talk page, but I thought I'd try to catch you here. What's sort of funny is that I was trying to do the right thing, and clean up some links that someone else had posted. I was making them go to the specific .htm page for each game, and correcting the link text because his site doesn't have a history of the games, but accounts of the games that have been collected from various uncredited sources. Personally, I would be fine with removing all of those links as the linked-to site has copied some descriptions from wikipedia, and other sites, without quoting or attributing the quotes. (I sent an e-mail to the owner of the site about that already.) So anyways, in summary, I was trying to clean up his links. I certainly wasn't trying to vandalize anything. Let me know if I was wrong or missing something.

I guess I will leave them for now. Most of my changes have been reverted, which I think is wrong, but I guess people thought I was vandalizing. Hard to imagine that editing a link to make it more specific would be considered vandalizing, but maybe it wasn't clear what I was doing. And I don't want to start deleting his links, although they probably should be deleted, because someone will definitely think I'm vandalizing then.

I created an account, Mcrawford620, if you want to let me know what you want me to do about the links.

Be careful what you call vandalism

• Tennessee to the Outback bowl per http://www.outbackbowl.com/ (official Outback bowl site)
• Auburn to the Cotton bowl per http://auburntigers.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/aub-m-footbl-main.html (official school website)
• Arkansas to the Cap One bowl per http://www.hogwired.com/ (official school website)

Please be careful what you call vandalism. Any good faith attempt to improve the encyclopedia, even if misguided, is never vandalism. Adding correct and verifiable facts to the encyclopedia is certainly not vandalism. BigDT 23:00, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Dave Ramsey Article

Hey, first off I wanted to thank you for your recent help on the Dave Ramsey article. It's something that I've been wanting to improve upon for some time. As you may have noticed, the previous incarnations of the article started off very NPOV and moved in both directions often, and was never really very well cited or layed out. After that whole "criticsm" war cooled off I looked at what I could do to justify removing the "verify" tag, and upon further research found that with the exception of the Background section (which I had all ready re-written) and the criticsm section (which was more the product of that revert war) that the article had in fact been completely plagiarized. I had all ready discussed my intentions on the discussion page but after discovering this I felt it best to replace the article as soon as possible. I literally spent 16 hours cross referencing books and websites, trying to come up with an article that was both neutral and informative. I think I succeeded, I'm moderately pleased with the result though I believe there are a few typos I need to go through. And after the edit which you had corrected, I'm curious if that comment could be worded better. It seemed like the editor didn't understand what I was referring to, that the comment was edited out of the DVDs and not the radio program.

But I was kind of disheartened to see yet another anonymous user popping up and reverting the article back to the plagiarized version. The amount of time I spent on fixing the article aside, they didn't even bother justifying the revert. I reverted it back, but I'm not sure what sort of warning tag to place on their talk page, or if that is even going to have any kind of point to it. It seemed to work so well last time.

At any rate, you seem to have light years more experience on Wikipedia and I am still relatively new... I've quite enjoyed being able to participate in this process, and any advice you might have on this matter or anything else for that matter would definately be appreciated.

Much thanks. Mike--Arkcana 06:39, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Thanks again, especially for the affirmation... Helps me think I didn't do all that for nothing. That guy just added all those criticism/comments again. It makes me think at this point that this is the same person, just trying to do everything he can to put some kind of "against" vote that is demeaning enough to make him happy. My question is though, this is the third or fourth IP I've seen from the guy. Is this what they call "open proxy" vandalism? How would you go about confirming that? It seems pointless to ban the IP if he's constantly changing it.

Unjustified Speedy Deletion

I am trying to create a Wikipedia article about a contemporary Canadian poet, but it appears it has been marked for speedy deletion because of "notability" issues. I don't understand...

Invalid warning about non-existant vandalism

Please review WP:vandalism. Specifically: "Talk page vandalism: Deleting the comments of other users from Talk pages other than your own, aside from removing internal spam, vandalism, etc. is generally considered vandalism. Removing personal attacks is often considered legitimate, and it is considered acceptable to archive an overly long Talk page to a separate file and then remove the text from the main Talk page. The above does not apply to the user's own Talk page, where this policy does not itself prohibit the removal and archival of comments at the user's discretion." You are refering to an old polciy which no longer exists. While you are at it, please review WP:CSD. The entry did not meet the criteria. Please cease making unfounded statements against me.

TV Show Premiere Dates

I know we have discussed that these should not be included on the network grids, based on WP:NOT, but I believe once a show is in the grid and upcoming, the premiere date just provides clarity, to show that the program has yet to fill that spot on the schedule. Otherwise, it would mean the show is already there. Again, the schedules may violate WP:NOT themselves, but I believe they just showcase the current programming layout on each network. So maybe the premiere dates should be included? bmitchelf•T 01:16, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

DayJet

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article DayJet, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:DayJet. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Hi Mhking, Thanks for letting me know. I am not an administrator yet (though hopefully this will change soon). At the moment, I can only keep the article on my watchlist and a close eye on it. If you think that the blanking is becoming too much, I would suggest you to report it at WP:RPP, asking for temporary semiprotection against anonymous IP addresses and new users. This will hopefully stop any disruption. Regards, Asterion^talk 18:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

By the way, if you suspect it could be someone's sockpuppet and you think you have strong evidence, you could consider ask for a checkuser if the disruption is systematic. Thanks and have a nice xmas, Asterion^talk 18:25, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

The page protection request has been declined as I expected. I agree with the rationale provided by the admin: There are also good edits coming from IP addresses. Nonetheless, I will keep the page on watch. Asterion^talk 19:12, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Aren't you supposed to move a page rather than just copy and paste it, to preserve the edit history for copyright purposes? And don't you have to move the talk page too? Angmering 19:43, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I suggest then that before too many more edits are made we move the content back to where it was and initiate a proper page move process. Angmering 10:31, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
