Please delete Dorgi

Hi, since you agreed with the reasons people gave for deleting Corgi-Chihuahua and deleted the article, please delete the article Dorgi for the same reasons.

Thanks --WaxonWaxov (talk) 21:04, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't do that while it's on AfD, sorry. Sandstein 22:06, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please delete Image:Corgi_Chihuahua.jpg

Since you deleted my article, please delete MY image (that I created myself for the article) found at Image:Corgi_Chihuahua.jpg

If the topic of the article isn't good enough for Wikipedia, then the photo isn't either. Thanks --WaxonWaxov (talk) 21:19, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Sandstein 22:05, 3 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thankspam

Thanks to everyone who participated in my RfA, regardless of their !vote. I have withdrawn the nomination as a failure at 19 supports, 45 opposes, and 9 neutral statements.

As has been written and sung, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you get what you need — and what I need is to go back to working on our shared project. Not everyone has to be an admin; there is a role for each of us. After reflection, I feel I don't have the temperament to secure community consensus as an admin at any point, and I will not be applying again in the future — and hey, that's all right, 'cause I stay true to the philosophy that adminship is no big deal: I tried, I failed, and now I'll return to doing what I've always done. I have an extremely strong belief in the consensus process, and the consensus was clear. I will be devoting my energies to volunteering at MedCab and working up a complete series of articles on the short stories of Ernest Hemingway, among lord knows what else. Thanks again to everyone who spared the time to weigh in on this one. It was made in better faith than it probably seemed.

Thanks for the !vote at my RfA. I probably should have disclosed my prior accounts. Oh well - we can't all be admins! Mr. IP 《Defender of Open Editing》 14:25, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lenerd resumed

Lenerd (talk · contribs) was apparently away for a few days, but has come back and has stated that he will be more cautious in the future. See WP:ANI#Block review for User:Lenerd part 2. -- Ned Scott 03:49, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

please restore

Could you please undelete 2008 measles outbreak in California so that I can preserve the content and edit history while making it part of the larger 2008 measles outbreaks in North America, as was suggested at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2008 measles outbreak in California. Thanks! — Reinyday, 16:51, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

That second article does not exist. Sandstein 17:05, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I know. I'm going to make it, as was suggested at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2008 measles outbreak in California. — Reinyday, 18:24, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Please inform me once you have done so. I will then restore the deleted article for merging. Sandstein 18:52, 5 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I want to move the undeleted article to the new name, to preserve the edit history. Could you please just undelete it? You can always redelete it later today if the outcome is not what you expected. Thanks. — Reinyday, 19:02, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Copy of K2GXT

Could you post a copy of the deleted article K2GXT on my talk page or where deemed appropriate (email)? I would like to have a copy of the content in case there was some information posted on there that I do not currently have. KB1LQC (talk) 03:41, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy provided at User:KB1LQC/K2GXT. Sandstein 21:26, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

dear sandstein, I need a couple of articles I've written that has been deleted as I have no copy of, would you please send me a copy on my email (on my user profile setting) ?
Deleted pages was ( correction ~~posture~~ posturology) and postural disorder, thanks --Paoloplatania (talk) 09:37, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't use e-mail. Please provide wikilinks to the deleted articles. Sandstein 21:30, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, my user page would be fine, could you please restore on Posturology and Postural disorder ? thanks --Paoloplatania (talk) 06:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, I need the wikilinks to the deleted articles, or I can't restore them. Please see also the box at the top of this page. Sandstein 06:43, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikilinks are posturology and postural disorder --Paoloplatania (talk) 14:30, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding J.R. Writer

Would you be amenable to me re-creating this article if I can find some decent sources? Writer is a pretty central member of the Diplomats, I'm sure there are sources about him. GlassCobra 19:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sure; the best thing to do would be to start a draft stub in userspace with the necessary sources. Sandstein 20:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that is what I intend to do; I've done it for a few articles in the past. I'll bring it by for your review before moving it to mainspace. GlassCobra 20:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Something I'd thought I'd never read...

See this. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 06:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Heh - deletionist attitude, indeed. Sandstein 14:05, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

First time for anything I guess. Of course, I did actually nominate something else for deletion a few minutes ago. By the way, given that you don't seem opposed to a redirect of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wraith Squadron to Wraith Squadron (novel), would you please undelete the edit history and then redirect (even if it's a protected redirect) as as far as I recall there was no copy vio or libel in the article the necessitates the edit history being deleted, but by contrast I think there may have been some mergeable content to the novel article and possibly even to the articles on some of the characters listed there. Thanks! --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:48, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
