[edit] James Chico Hernandez

Hi, any possibility that you can rethink your deletion of this? He seems to be at least marginally notable, based on the article. It did read like a copyvio, but I couldn't find it online anywhere, and it needs rewriting, but the person himself seems notable. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:04, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

If you have no objections, I'm going to list it at WP:DRV. User:Zoe|^(talk) 18:19, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

(answered at talk page)

Thanks, I agree with you that it needs a lot of work. User:Zoe|^(talk) 22:11, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Citations in castleroid article

Why have you removed the "(Qualls)" parenthetical citation in the Castleroid article? If you'd read the references subcat it's clear that a review is being cited. No one is trying to brand the article with their username. Guermantes 23:00, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Red to grey

Yeah, perhaps the red on the Shaw template was a bit much, but I swear it was all for the common good! I suppose grey matches Beckett's black...oh well. I was just so tired of that light blue. :) Cheers! -- Yossarian 10:12, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Are you sure that is the source of Image:Ps3-controller.jpg?

You said the image is licensed as GFDL and was taking from a Nintendo DS fan website. I saw the exact same image but higher resolution from Engadget/Joystiq and they claim they're taking photos and are attending the presentation. I go with them as the source consider they're owned by a major corporation (TimeWarner) and have the money and credentials to attend the presentation. Thier stuff is copyrighted, too. [1] --Who What Where Nguyen Why 03:16, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Oh. Wrong file. Feeling stupid now. Removed. Deleted. :) Garrett^Talk 03:42, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding swearing

Garrett, while it may not be wise to cuss, it's best not to remove cuss words from talk pages. Wikipedia is not bowdlerized for childrens' protection. WhisperToMe 07:06, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

I have... no idea what you're referring to. How long ago was this? Well, while I can't recall the case I was likely enacting WP:RPA or somesuch. Garrett^Talk 07:18, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] LinkandMidna

Someone has uploaded a new version of LinkandMidna.jpg, which is actually just a cropped version of Twilight9sj.png. Please re-upload the old version if you still have it, thanks. -- WikidSmaht (talk) 20:50, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] WP:SEWAGE

Hi. We don't usually allow redirects from WP: to user space. Might I suggest you simply move your essay to WP:SEWAGE? --kingboyk 09:16, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Well it's your call mate but I rather liked WP:SEWAGE :) --kingboyk 11:04, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Voting with images

Thanks Garrett. My opinion is that we should sort out issues according to the guidelines. But there seems to be an obsession with putting everything to the vote. We have guidelines that cover everything, so I don't know why people are calling for a vote so often. --WikiCats 07:19, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Criteria for speedy deletion

Hi Garrett. I noticed you recently closed a few AfDs early citing speedy deletion. While the articles themselves are certainly awful, I just wanted to remind you that hoaxes, WP:NOT, and previous non-AfD deletions do not fall under the speedy deletion criteria. Those things are deletion worthy, just not technically CSD. --Alan Au 18:00, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

WP:IAR ON WHEELS. Culling hoaxes improves Wikipedia, so, thusly, IAR applies. Garrett^Talk 23:11, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

The reason that putative hoaxes are not speedy deletion material is that there are more things in heaven and earth, Garrett, than are dreamt of in your philosophy. It is does almost no harm to let hoaxes go the full distance on XfD, and culling something odd and fringe but true damages Wikipedia. Save the rouge card for when you really need to use it.

[edit] Image:Bandai Satellaview base unit.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:Bandai Satellaview base unit.jpg. I notice the 'image' page specifies that the image is being used under fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails our first fair use criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed image could reasonably be found or created. If you believe this image is not replaceable, please:

1. Go to the image description page and edit it to add {{Replaceable fair use disputed}}
2. On the image discussion page, write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified how these images fully satisfy our fair use criteria. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on this link. Note that any fair use images which are replaceable by free-licensed alternatives will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. – Quadell ^{(talk) (random)} 15:37, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] I deprodded List of cancelled video games, but...

...I encourage you to take it to WP:AfD to see how the community feels. Personally, I'd go weak keep, but I can also see the case for deletion, too. youngamerican (ahoy hoy) 13:47, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi nominated for deletion

An article that you have been involved in editing, Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi, has been listed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi (second nomination). Please look there to see why this is, if you are interested in whether it should be deleted. Thank you. --Slowking Man 11:42, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] From Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Classes in World of Warcraft

Your comment: Afd is first and foremost critiquing articles' current status, not their potential.

I'd ask that you think a more deeply about this. Look at the first "article" speedy deletion criterion for some fodder: The reason that it emphasises context is because the content can come later. Deletion of material as unverifiable is another example: We give editors the chance to supply sources before removing information. Deletion is in fact all about potential, not current status.
152.91.9.144 23:27, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, that was poorly worded. What I weas meaning to convey is that it's a combination of the two (poor articles valid good subjects get deleted regularly despite their potential). Garrett^Talk 03:22, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Hey there

Hey MTG:

Just stopped by to say that I was looking in on old friends and saw that you're still around and kicking; I've been revisiting some of the "good old days" and you popped up in my thoughts. Drop by my talk page some time and fill me in on how you're doing. Yours, Essjay (Talk) 08:41, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
