You probably shouldn't have closed that discussion. The nominator hadn't withdrawn his delete opinion so there was no universal consensus to delete, and there weren't that many people who'd expressed an opinion. The nominator isn't contesting your close, which is nice, but he'd have very strong grounds to do so IMO. It's not a good idea to non-admin close a discussion that you yourself have been involved in (even an admin won't close a discussion that they've voted on, generally). Just my two cents. I think it was going to be kept anyway, so no skin off anyone's back as far as I'm concerned. Cheers, ɠǀɳ̩ςεΝɡbomb 14:22, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for letting me know. I'll keep this in mind the next time I even think about closing an XfD.--Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 02:15, 3 April 2012 (UTC)


Re: Curius

Re your message: Edits to deleted articles are not listed on an editor's contribution list. All of that editor's edits have been to deleted articles. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Re your message: Not a problem. You have a few deleted edits yourself. For example, the CSD tag that you applied to the Tweekneckidus article is no longer on your contributions list. Admins can see your deleted contributions and you can get a count of your deleted edits through an edit counter tool like this one. Though I have found that the tool disagrees my number of edits listed under My preferences. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 20:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for April 15

Hi. When you recently edited Poppy (novel), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Field mice (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

A histmerge you did

Hello, recently you suggested a histmerge from one of my sandboxes to Rosalina (character); however, the reason I did a cut-and-paste is because as a sandbox, multiple articles were worked on and, as it was not an official page at the time, the page was repeatedly started than blanked, etc. This made the history of the page quite problematic, as there was bizarre changes in the history without explanations (again, a sandbox does not need one). Before merging, could you please check all revisions to make sure that the two pages are indeed appropiate to merge. After you tagged the article, an admin immediately performed the merge without checking, but I think it's because s/he believed you had already confirmed it. The pages have now been seperated, but it still lookes unsightly and content was removed. Thanks, Androids101 | Visit me! | talk | contribs 22:56, 19 April 2012 (UTC)

The point of repairing cut and paste moves is to merge the histories of two pages so that all of the revisions by editors can be attributed to that editor. In this case, I guess it would be more appropriate to do it your way as you were the only one who edited the article prior to the edit with your sandboxing edits etc., and I apologize for causing such disruption. I usually make edit summaries for all my edits (with few exceptions of course) even if they are in the sandbox (Example). Even especially for userspace drafts, so when I move it to the mainspace when its over, I have all of my drafting edits with summaries attributed to me. Just my opinions, cheers! --Michaelzeng7 (talk - contribs) 00:56, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
