Dlpkbr (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 23:58, 2 May 2011 (UTC). Thanks for your time and effortHi Thryduulf. I appreciate for completing the survey two weeks ago. I would like to return your favor with a reward of an online gift card with no condition. Please leave your email address in the final version of survey of my project. In addition, you can get chance to win $50 worth of gift card. It takes only 10 minutes to complete the final version because it contains only 35 questions. If you have Wikipedia friends, please introduce this survey to them. Thank you so much. cooldenny (talk) 13:58, 5 May 2011 (UTC) Falcon Cliff LiftRe [1]: where did you get the gauge from?

Personally, for some things I try to contact individual editors. It doesn't always work though; I've been looking for a free picture of hamedori for the point of view pornography, but nobody I've contacted has one or can make one.

List of railway stationsHi, Libyan civil war redirectI just wanted to apologize for the confusion on that conversation, when I saw the page Lother had made I assumed he had created a disambiguation page and not merely converted the redirect into one. So I put in a request for delete not realizing that the redirect was still there. I changed the request to better clarify the situation. 174.114.87.236 (talk) 17:30, 1 June 2011 (UTC) Are you seriously taking the claims of the person hired by the company to write an article???

Is this mentorship?I don't get it - at Sarah's ANI you wanted to topic-ban her from Wales (et al), and asked at one point for another admin to sanction me - essentially for standing very strongly against you repeatedly pushing for unworkable sanctions against her, and (perhaps uncourteously) asking you to please step back. Now you are still on her talk page - quoting Aneurin Bevan, and saying how truth is subjective. Your agument (with the link) is surely just validating her beliefs re Wikipedia. I think things need to settle down don't they? You have given a lot of advice to her since the ANI, none of which has had the effect that was no-doubt intended imo. The whole ANI experience (for us all) needs to be moved on from now I feel. I'm not going to personally get involved on Sarah's talk page again unless I have a really-good topic-related reason, but I am currently keeping an eye on it - as Sarah's frame of mind after by the end of the ANI was not great. I just don't want the time I spent wasted. Sarah has always been sceptical of admin, and it's a lot to ask of her to respect advice from someone who was so punitive at the ANI. At best it is obviously patronising (I don't think she's quite as young as you've surmised btw), and at worst it could be considered provocative (ie why this change of tack?), or simply ill-advised (did you notice that after your advice on reporting 'provocation' she did just that over a time-served editor who was ultimately rectifying mistakes?) The admin job really should be just a mop and a bucket imo, and Sarah actually has the mentor role in John. One of the reasons I changed my mind about mentorship being of some value for Sarah was so an admin that she respected (or respected enough I should say) actually held the 'job in hand', so to speak. Given your earlier stance, I can't see any other reason for your continued advice other than to share the role - but I don't think it works like that. Just my two cents. These are areas I edit in, and plan to work in - I just want things to settle down. Matt Lewis (talk) 20:30, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

Delicious carbuncle (talk) 19:50, 16 July 2011 (UTC) Guffin beanPlease reconsider your close of the Guffin bean redirect. The reasoning of the participants in the discussion was flawed. The claim that the list of names added in 2005 was mostly correct means that there were some that were incorrect. For example, haba beans are fava beans. This allows one to track the proliferation of the false names on the internet. The other claim, saying that now that Wikipedia has spread this false name it should be kept is a sickening paean to ignorance and benightedness, and more importantly is not supported by any WP:Policy. What is supported by policy is its deletion. Speciate (talk) 18:45, 25 July 2011 (UTC)
FECES. FECES? FECES!If you really feel that my deletion here was inappropriate - "Additional information: It has been observed that this phenomenon is inconceivable by ginger kids" - then by all means, go ahead and restore the page. Restoring a page (especially one like this) just to dot the i's and cross the t's on its writ of execution, however, would be process masturbation of the worst sort. There is a difference between not biting the newcomers, and allowing the newcomers to jab you with sharp sticks in the head and neck area. This fragment-of-article had a tiny bit of actual information (sewage tanks leak), and then went roaring off into thigh-slapping HI-LA-RI-TY, gaha gaha. The terminology used was intended to magnify that hilarity. It was crap, pun most definitely intended. It was deliberately submitted as crap. Redirecting it to an existing article (does any such even exist?) would have been a crap decision. Excising the crap content, building a new article from the single worthwhile datum, and then renaming it so as to avoid any connection to the original crap name would have been even worse. In the words of Lu-Tze, the point of rules is so that you have to think before you break 'em. IAR exists for a reason.

This has been raised at Wikiproject Mathematics and we think it would be better to redirect to distance.

You have relisted discussion about National Research University MAI, but you have closed similar discussion about Moscow State Institute of Electronic Technology (National Research University) with closing argumentation See comment at #National Research University MAI. Same two cents apply. You have made two different decissions on two similar closing argumentation. In addition link to "#National Research University MAI" part of discussion is poised in air. Have you made mistake? I suggset, both variants of decissions (closing or relisting) are possible, but both of them must be similar. Alex Spade (talk) 10:54, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
Pro-PalestinianHi, your input is cordially invited at Talk:Pro-Palestinian#Extract from RFD discussion for future reference. Bridgeplayer (talk) 02:33, 17 August 2011 (UTC) I speedied this redirect when I came across it on CSD because it appeared to be either an attack page or unencyclopedic, and so I chose to err on the side of caution. However, it was not my intention to abort the RFD discussion, since I would have yielded to the redirect being restored if the discussion closed that way. However another editor closed the discussion as a result of my speedying the article. If you think the discussion should continue, please let me know and I will re-open it. causa sui (talk) 21:26, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
I actually felt that the 3-5 hits argument did successfully prove his point, since those could have been found via bot, headbomb, or myself (i stumbled on that redirect while cleaning something else a couple weeks back so it does happen). Had there been 30-40 hits in a month or more then I would have considered that argument refuted and closed it differently, since bots and maintenance users could not have accounted for all of that.

On 14 August 2011 Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Palestinian cause was closed as "Redirect to Israeli-Palestinian conflict", inadvertently reversing the consensus reached at the RfD regarding the "Pro-Palestinian" redirect (the redirect was not mentioned during the discussion). In subsequent discussion at Talk:Pro-Palestinian#Extract from RFD discussion for future reference it has been suggested that both redirects ("Pro-Palestinian" and "Palestinian cause") would be better targeted at Palestinian nationalism. It was also agreed to initiate a widely-advertised RfD, with notifications to relevant WikiProjects and participants in the AfD and RfD.

I can only thank you for your fantastic summation that what I asked is "in the hope of getting her involved in a large and potentially uncivil discussion",[5] since it illustrates very well why I consider this website a cesspool. For someone of your caliber to become an administrator after only six months of work in 2005, and proceed to consider that license hold the views you do and lord over people who disagree with you is a severe insult to the intelligence of the populations of wiki editors and readers alike. I formally reject your authority, because you use it to stifle critics, prop up your ego and spread fantastic, poisonous lies about other editors.
