Welcome to my talk page! I tend to reply to messages directly on here, so I suggest watching my page if you're looking for a reply. I watch user talk pages I comment on so we can keep conversations organized.
Regarding the FBLA-PBL entry: Any time you move an article from one name to another, you should NEVER just create the article under the new name and copy-and-paste over. There is a "move" button on the top of all articles which should be used instead so as to preserve the history in accordance with the GFDL. More about all this fun in Moving pages.
Short answer: I guess that's what we're going to do in the end, but I don't know about the current history and what not. I think there's a way the admins can merge the histories (I'm still relatively new to the wikipedia politics myself), so I'll look into the procedure for that. Until then, I suggest you keep all this in mind for the future. Masterzora 05:41, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
Yay, they fixed it, so it's no problem any more! Just remember the "move" command for the future, okay? Masterzora 20:14, 27 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for helping tag articles that need cleanup. Just so you know for future work, it's recommended not to use subst: when adding {{ cleanup}}. This is to facilitate automatic refiling at a later date, and so changes to the cleanup template show up on all tagged pages. Thanks again, Beland 00:55, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
There is no reason for there to not be a staff list. People come to articles about things to learn about them. Why not show who the teachers are and what they teach? That's further, helpful information about the school. Please don't take it off again. (I'm not trying to be pushy or rude.)-- WatchHawk 22:27, 22 April 2006 (UTC)
Nice work on Cross-Country. RussBlau would be the one to ask about removing items from the list, and I'd be interested in his answer.-- Commander Keane 02:37, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I was the other major Bay Area disambiguation contributor. I noticed some of your edit summaries say something like "Disambiguate Convention to Fan convention using popups", and I loaded the popup script (boy what a great tool! thanks!). But I don't really see how popups help in disambiguation -- am I missing something? Thanks, Steve Pucci | talk 19:57, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
I wonder if you'd consider not using symbols to label your comments on WP:AFD. It really isn't a vote, but your use of symbols might inadvertently emphasize the false impression that it is. -- Tony Sidaway 23:22, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up. It is indeed the same user. I have blocked for 48 hours, and put a {{ Pinktulip}} template on the user page. Cheers. AnnH ♫ 09:09, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Follwoing on from your comments, I've flagged up a requested move for the page back to somewhere sensible. GraemeLeggett 15:20, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
Quite right. My error, and I hope you accept my apologies. I mistakenly assigned an unsigned edit in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Whitney Trettien to you. Thanks for rectifying the mistake. Cheers, Colon el Tom 16:38, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I know that within discussion in deletion review, the recreation of the specific page would have been shot down by almost an unanimous vote. What I feel though, is that wikipedia entries that may have notability issues, yet have proper sourcing and seem to not be completely vanity (in that time was taken to edit with info in an encyclopedia manner), shouldnt be up for such a hasty deletion. What would you propose to do then to bring up this issue as a whole, rather than a specific page? Where do I turn? I apologize for the rash editing of the AFD page; it is just frustrating to see work completely erased that I contributed to. No, I do not know "Kelsey Britton" but I know that many pages seem to have source issues but are labeled notability issues. So I took the time to contribute and so hastily such a page was deleted. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.197.28.144 ( talk • contribs)
Why did you erase the SOMETHING TO NOTE info?I am a recent grad of the high school and i also was there when the changes and that particular issue took place involving the performing arts program in which i was in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.229.75.204 ( talk • contribs)
You tagged this article to be deleted as being a foreign language article copied from another Wikipedia. However, I don't see any evidence that the article exists anywhere else (including elsewhere on the web); if it does, please make a note of it and tag the article for deletion again, with my apologies. Note however that if the article does not exist anywhere except English Wikipedia, it should be put on Wikipedia:Pages_needing_translation_into_English before it is deleted. -- SCZenz 18:20, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
I dont think you understand the difference between a school having a program that is magnet and a school that has a program. North Atlanta still has the performing arts program, but it is no longer a magnet. If the program is no longer magnet that mean students from outside zones can not enter into the program. If you go to the performing arts page on the school website then it says that the program is no longer a magnet program. The school requires you to enter the program through the IB program, which is totally different from a performing arts program.
Now do you see the difference between a magnet and program still being there. i am going to rewrite the what i put up there to include both point of views. UNDERSTAND THAT —Preceding unsigned comment added by ACTINGDRAMA ( talk • contribs)
Beaware of your understanding what is Vandalism and what is not. Addition of unwanted commercial links (spam) of non-English language in English page for serveral times is vandalism. Thanks. 216.16.237.110 00:24, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Yes, human error. I was looking at the wrong day. My apologies. Computerjoe 's talk 16:22, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Hi! You just added two articles to the deletion page. As you can see in the edit window, I tried to do the same but it didn't work. I'm quite new here and I thought I followed these instructions. Can you tell me what I did wrong? Thanks! Krankman 13:25, 29 May 2006 (UTC)
Hello, Metros232. When adding a copyvio template to an article, like Goosebumps: Stay Out Of The Basement (TV), you should blank the article first. Thanks, Kjkolb 04:14, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
Per User:Essjay's suggestion I submitted User:Rgulerdem's user page for speedy deletion. Netscott 14:36, 31 May 2006 (UTC)
You, sir, are a moron! Ricardo Lagos 00:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Ah, I see - Even so, with schools (but NOT with school districts) I tend to go all the way anyway since there may be a school of the same name proposed and built elsewhere in a given state. I tend to go all the way with school names to be on the safe side UNLESS there is only one school in the whole world with that name. Also - Some schools are better known by the city than by the state. WhisperToMe 16:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
By the way, the policy page seems to be proposed, so it's not law YET. WhisperToMe 17:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
I redirected it to the Valon article. WhisperToMe 01:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
Believe it or not, I owned that comic. God knows how long ago it got tossed out in mid-move, but I can testify to its authenticity and existence. — WCityMike ( T | C) ⇓ plz reply HERE ( why?) ⇓ 04:06, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
Actually, Kafka did write that story, as a quick Google will show. But I don't know whether the character is in it or whether the description is accurate, which is why I added the {{ verify}}. -- maru (talk) contribs 20:23, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I think rather than erasing most of the article because it came from another article, it should be rewritten with the article listed as a source. Thoughts? -- Awiseman 20:45, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
I wish you guys would stop doing that.... removing things without asking first.
First of all, "Bloodless Bullfighting" is totally different from the regular "bullfighting" section. It is bloodless and we don't kill the bulls.
Secondly, our site is an information site specifically for "bloodless bullfights", its history, culture, etc, etc.
The links I noted are for people to go directly to the pages so that they have a better understanding of what each one are.
So stop that because it's really annoying that you guys think that you are "moderators" of the world or something. You have no clue as to what the subject is, because if you did, you'd have your input in there.
So, I'm putting the links back in because they are related to the subject.
Also, how can you think that we are "commercial" when we don't earn one dime. Get real. Honestly, do you see any sponsors and advertisers on our pages? I don't think so!!!!! So next time, be a little bit more attentive and pay attention to details.
Thanks in advance -- Webmistress Diva 07:54, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the kind words. I'd say, Keep. People have been deleting spelling bee winners, mostly. Not sure why. If she's verifiable, and she is, I would keep her. Not bothering anybody. If you AfD it, my prediction, it will be deleted. - CrazyRussian talk/ contribs/ email 09:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the advice, but I'm actually a close friend of Kerry's. She goes to my school. I figured it couldn't hurt to make a page more personal. Clamster4 18:24, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
I apologise for making this article the way it was, but what should I do to make it better? Add all the people from the Second Virginia Charter?
does writing about one's ancestors qualify as vanity? ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/John Mac Street).
I don't know, but a more useful policy is Wikipedia is not a genealogical dictionary. Tearlach 22:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

I took the liberty of extending your AfD nomination of Smack-Off 1998 to include other similar Smack-Off articles. I hope this is ok with you, please forgive me if it isn't - but they seemed similar enough to warrant bundling them together. You may want to post a follow-up comment to indicate whether you recommend deleting or keeping the articles that weren't part of your original nomination. Paddles T C 10:27, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
In my experience, many articles flagged for speedy deletion can be salvaged, whether by rewriting (particularly if a copyvio is involved) or by more carefully explaining why the subject is notable. And sometimes articles flagged for speedy deletion are removed almost immediately.
When I try to fix an article flagged for speedy deletion, I flag it as prod because it might otherwise be deleted almost immediately. I have occasionally been editing an article flagged for speedy and, in the middle of the edit, seen the article deleted by someone else. I understand and agree with speedy deletion of patent nonsense and other things that are obviously unsalvageable, but often articles flagged for speedy deletion are salvageable, and where that seems possible, I would much rather that people use prod or afd than speedy.

Sometimes an article gets speedily deleted before anyone can add {{hangon}}. TruthbringerToronto ( Talk | contribs) 01:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Yes, this makes sense, except that sometimes it's not obvious that a potential speedy deletion will in fact be deleted, and moving rather than copying might cause more confusing.
I think that User:Erin steel created Frank Garvey, and where the names don't match I am careful to say "copying (or moving) biography page to userpage" rather than using the term "autobiography". If I got mixed up and User:Erin steel was not the creator of Frank Garvey, then that userpage should probably be deleted or be edited down to the userpage tag to avoid confusing the user.

Put something in the article (it is called politics of NJ) about the bickering in NJ that is behind the stated cuase of the shut down. This is a big story and current. It is also pure politics because there have been budget shortfalls in the past without this drama playing out. Bona Fides 15:29, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out about the Milano article. It is written in a very confusing fashion. I've clarified my comments in the prod2 to state that, since it's not asserted that he wrestles top-level of either amateur or pro wrestling, he doesn't qualify under WP:BIO. — C.Fred ( talk) 14:51, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I noticed you placed a comment on the talk page for Trevor Gribble. In case you're interested, the article has gone to AFD. If you'd like to contribute, the link is here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Trevor Gribble. Thanks! -- NMChico24 08:44, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Please take a look at what you did: http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=C.L._Max_Nikias&curid=5879630&diff=62715418&oldid=62707254 I had established context for the article, and you removed it in your edit. The claim "It is a very short article providing little or no context (CSD A1)." is no longer valid, but I will restore it. I would invite you to review the article and remove the nocontext tag if you agree that it is no longer appropriate. TruthbringerToronto ( Talk | contribs) 12:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
Hi Metros232! As soon as I tag 'em, you sort 'em out! Thanks!

Thanks for locating the source of the copyvios for this article. I shall delete the article history and start again, there is nothing much left and better to remove it so nobody gets the bright idea of reversion.-- A Y Arktos\ talk 05:11, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
Yep, thanks. That's why I stopped reinserting the information, another user and I are working it out on the talk page. But thanks for the heads up. Batman2005 21:26, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kent-Meridian High School, I just thought you'd like to know that the consensus for High School articles now appears to be swinging back in favor of deletion. So this may indicate the beginning of another campaign to remove most High School articles. Your opinion on the AfD article would be appreciated. It might be helpful if a notability standard for High Schools could be agreed upon. Thank you. — RJH ( talk) 16:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
What do I have to do to fix my new page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nobleverse ( talk • contribs)
I can add references supporting the publication. How much time do I have to gether them (I need to locate them all)? I have posted one already but am searching for the others from other websites.
Those things deserved to be said. People need to recognize the bad faith not only in her nomination but in her criticism of RJHall who is only defending our high schools. I would like to protest. Capit 21:15, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
Note that text copied from government websites in the United States is generally in the public domain. While the copy and paste does not make for a good article, it can be reduced to its minimum, with text from the copy, and the copied text does not need to be deleted from the page history. — Centrx→ talk • 05:26, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

When you are reverting copyvios, or anything else, please be more careful to not remove subsequent edits by other editors, as you have just done here. Ta. -- Mais oui! 15:03, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Certainly the initial edit was a bit off, but the one he attempted to add afterward seemed reasonable, though the editing was boosterish and rough. I don't blame you for seeing vandalism here, but I have seen plenty of new editors turned off by the vandal cops before they have a chance to improve their editing style. -- AlexWCovington ( talk) 18:35, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the painstaking work cleaning up Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/High schools/US/New Jersey. I had gotten started, but never had a chance to finish. I saw that you disambiguated articles that were refering to the wrong HS. There are also a bunch of names in the remaining list that don't match existing articles or planned titles for future articles. I will clean these up as the articles are created. Thanks again for all your work on this effort! Alansohn 13:54, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
Please do not remove the tags if you are not doing any work to the articles. Wikifying means bringing it to Wikipedia standards by adding internal links, proper formating, and sections where necessary. This is not what you did here [2], here [3], and here [4] among other edits. Please be more careful and don't just simply remove the tag. Metros232 12:36, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
I really cannot pay attention or read anything you guys send me anymore because it has all been so negative from day one. So when I get any kind of message with three of those arrow links, I assume it is more attacking and don't read it. I just assume it's the same three accusing links as previously. Besides, I don't understand what they mean anyway. Capit 14:04, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
