[[User:Giggy/On Kurt and RfA|My views on that topic are fairly well known]]. With all the talk about zomg conflict, zomg drama, zomg cats (see, now it looks like I reviewed your talk page before supporting), etc. going about, the last thing we need is something that produces ''more'' conflict, drama, and cats. If your nom contained a lolcat I'd have strong opposed. Seriously. [[User:Giggy|Giggy]] ([[User talk:Giggy|talk]]) 03:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

::Just got your note. You do what you need to do. Adminning is mindless and easy and high burnout city, but also kinda fun if only to see really nasty deleted stuff :-). People have their standards, I used to get angry about the most ridiculous ones, but I don't anymore. Don't quit Wiki over RFA, that would be like walking out of a perfectly good [[Roast (comedy)|roast)]]. Except, in a roast, people actually like you while they ridicule you. Dammit, I can't think of a good analogy. There have been ''several'' terrific editors that have been flamed out of rfa. Don't quit over it, leave on your own terms whenever the hell you feel like it.

Per the conversation at DGG's page - I think the "timewasters" and "rpgnet" are determined as objective, unbiased, and reliable sites for reviews on board games/rpgsand board game related/rpg game related products. They rely on real names, are reviewed before posting, and also have opinion. Also, my idea is to restore the Blood Angels page, turn it into a discussion of their individual appearance in multiple media (a handful of books, a video game, a planned movie, some gaming books and some models), and have Dante as a small section under one game. There was a major UK comic book award for the one product (Blood Quest I think its called). I just started looking into this, and I don't know much about the topic. But what I have found so far (review wise, product specs from third party sites), make it seem like I can find enough to make an article that can be neutral, include criticism and critiques, discuss product history, and all sorts of stuff that could warrant a GA. I hope this make sense. [[User:Ottava Rima|Ottava Rima]] ([[User talk:Ottava Rima|talk]]) 20:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
== [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Gladys j cortez/Q 10 Answers|This]]... ==
:I'd say feel free to work on an article in your user space to see if something workable can be created from what you've got. Make sure to separate reviews properly, though. A review of a video game with the Blood Angels is not the same as a review of the Blood Angels themselves. There will be some overlap, of course, but keep that in mind. The original Blood Angels article was overly filled with in-universe writing. If you start from that you'll need to cut it down severely.

::I'd have to know what sources that information comes from. I see that there are books, comics, and video games, so I assume there are different plots. Do you have enough knowledge?

== Why did you move [[List of Forgotten Realms deities/Merge proposal]]? ==
... shouldn't really be a subpage of an RfA. Would you have any objections if I were to move it to your userspace and have the RfA subpage deleted? <small><span style="border:1px solid black;padding:1px;">[[User:Asenine|<i><font style="color:white;background:#4682b4;font-family:sans-serif;">'''&nbsp;Ase'''</font></i>]][[User talk:Asenine|<i><font style="color:white;background:#4682b4;font-family:sans-serif;">'''nine&nbsp;'''</font></i>]]</span></small> 23:07, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


The proposal goes [[List of Forgotten Realms deities/Merge proposal|here]], it gets discussed [[Talk:List of Forgotten Realms deities/Merge proposal|here]]. Plus [[Special:Whatlinkshere/List of Forgotten Realms deities/Merge proposal|you left red links]] so no one can find it. I am moving it back. [[User:Lady Aleena|LA]] @ 14:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
===Q11 follow-up?===
:Well, it looks like I was changing it back when you sent me your message about this. I still moved it back since the proposal is so long that it would be better to have the proposal on one page and the discussion on its talk page. A talk page doesn't have a talk page. So to keep the proposal "clear," it needs to be seperate from the discussion, IMO. [[User:Lady Aleena|LA]] @ 14:33, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
In light of [[WP:TL;DR]], I wonder how would you edit my follow-up to [[User:Asenine|Asenine]]'s excellent question? I was impressed by the range of response styles this question provoked; and I'm giving some thought to posting it myself in upcoming RfA threads now that [[User:Asenine|Asenine]] appears to be abandoning it. I have the impression that not everyone who addressed the question recognized a [[The Lady, or the Tiger?|''lady or the tiger'']] aspect; and I would have thought that the RfA thread becomes an essential venue in which to inject an unaswerable conundrum. --[[User:Tenmei|Tenmei]] ([[User talk:Tenmei|talk]]) 18:22, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
::As the proposal is a sub-page of the main page, I did not see the harm of putting it there. As I said the proposal is rather long, so a seperate discussion page is needed to keep the proposal "clear." Any changes to the proposal should be discussed on a seperate page. As the proposal is so specific, I don't think that there is a general area in which this could be placed and have the same impact. If you think of a place, let me know; and I will move it there.

Why did you delete the [[Zafina]] article twice? What's your reason? Who agreed with that? Why didn't you delete this [[Zack (Dead or Alive)]]? [[User:Shrine Maiden|Shrine Maiden]] ([[User talk:Shrine Maiden|talk]]) 17:44, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
:I didn't, I deleted it once. I deleted it under Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|Criteria for speedy deletion]], specifically G4, recreation of deleted material. If you read the links I provided in my deletion comment, you'll see consensus to delete the article at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zafina]] and confirmation of that decision at [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 February 8]]. If you have questions about that, feel free to ask the closing admin, {{User0|Jerry}}. If you feel that [[Zack (Dead or Alive)]] should also be deleted, please feel free to use either [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion]] or [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]] to do so.

::I can see the result was 4:4. Why was it deleted? [[User:Shrine Maiden|Shrine Maiden]] ([[User talk:Shrine Maiden|talk]]) 17:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
:::Articles for deletion is [[Wikipedia:Polling is not a substitute for discussion#Deletion, moving and featuring|not a vote]]. [[User:Jerry|Jerry]] closed the AFD, not me, but I would assume that many of the keep statements were discounted. For example, the first keep statement, "Zafina is VERY notable, as she is a new character and deserves to be known about." does not mesh with [[Wikipedia:Notability]]. Being a new character does not mean she is notable. The next keep statement, "Every other character in the Tekken series has an article or an article that mentions them, describing them very well, so why shouldn't Zafina?" is a common argument that is referred to as [[Wikipedia:Other stuff exists|other stuff exists]] and does not work in this case. I'll stop there, but that should give you the basic idea. Jerry elaborates a little more on why he closed as delete at the [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 February 8|deletion review]]. Hope that answers your question. '''<font color="8855DD">[[User:Pagrashtak|Pagra]]</font><font color="#6666AA">[[User talk:Pagrashtak|shtak]]</font>''' 18:09, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

You suggested that I create a workpage for the Space marine chapter list, which I did, and thank you.

Revision as of 13:16, 10 October 2008

RE:Fastoon

OK, i will jus leave Fastoon as a redirect, i know that article was not suitable for Wikipedia, besides there is already a article about Fastoon on the Ratchet & Clank Wiki. Moon Star X1 (talk) 04:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Blindness

I guess I was, as I added those without knowing they were from separate issues. I'll try to remember the cite thing for the future. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 23:52, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

You are correct, and I've redacted the motivation part. DGG (talk) 18:53, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just a Note

Per the conversation at DGG's page - I think the "timewasters" and "rpgnet" are determined as objective, unbiased, and reliable sites for reviews on board games/rpgsand board game related/rpg game related products. They rely on real names, are reviewed before posting, and also have opinion. Also, my idea is to restore the Blood Angels page, turn it into a discussion of their individual appearance in multiple media (a handful of books, a video game, a planned movie, some gaming books and some models), and have Dante as a small section under one game. There was a major UK comic book award for the one product (Blood Quest I think its called). I just started looking into this, and I don't know much about the topic. But what I have found so far (review wise, product specs from third party sites), make it seem like I can find enough to make an article that can be neutral, include criticism and critiques, discuss product history, and all sorts of stuff that could warrant a GA. I hope this make sense. Ottava Rima (talk) 20:03, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'd say feel free to work on an article in your user space to see if something workable can be created from what you've got. Make sure to separate reviews properly, though. A review of a video game with the Blood Angels is not the same as a review of the Blood Angels themselves. There will be some overlap, of course, but keep that in mind. The original Blood Angels article was overly filled with in-universe writing. If you start from that you'll need to cut it down severely. Pagrashtak 16:32, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'd have to know what sources that information comes from. I see that there are books, comics, and video games, so I assume there are different plots. Do you have enough knowledge? If I can't find anyone, I'll risk chopping out what I can't verify or track down (plot summaries on Amazon seem to help a little). Ottava Rima (talk) 05:05, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I don't, sorry. You could try asking at Wikipedia:WikiProject Warhammer 40,000. Pagrashtak 13:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The proposal goes here, it gets discussed here. Plus you left red links so no one can find it. I am moving it back. LA @ 14:24, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it looks like I was changing it back when you sent me your message about this. I still moved it back since the proposal is so long that it would be better to have the proposal on one page and the discussion on its talk page. A talk page doesn't have a talk page. So to keep the proposal "clear," it needs to be seperate from the discussion, IMO. LA @ 14:33, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As the proposal is a sub-page of the main page, I did not see the harm of putting it there. As I said the proposal is rather long, so a seperate discussion page is needed to keep the proposal "clear." Any changes to the proposal should be discussed on a seperate page. As the proposal is so specific, I don't think that there is a general area in which this could be placed and have the same impact. If you think of a place, let me know; and I will move it there. LA (If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page.) @ 14:45, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Move to WikiProject Dungeons & Dragons done. Some links were outright changed, others left since the conversation continued prior to this. Please delete that page AND its talk page. LA (If you reply here, please leave me a {{Talkback}} message on my talk page.) @ 15:12, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A small question

Why did you delete the Zafina article twice? What's your reason? Who agreed with that? Why didn't you delete this Zack (Dead or Alive)? Shrine Maiden (talk) 17:44, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't, I deleted it once. I deleted it under Wikipedia's Criteria for speedy deletion, specifically G4, recreation of deleted material. If you read the links I provided in my deletion comment, you'll see consensus to delete the article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zafina and confirmation of that decision at Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 February 8. If you have questions about that, feel free to ask the closing admin, Jerry (talk). If you feel that Zack (Dead or Alive) should also be deleted, please feel free to use either Wikipedia:Proposed deletion or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion to do so. Pagrashtak 21:03, 17 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I can see the result was 4:4. Why was it deleted? Shrine Maiden (talk) 17:09, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Articles for deletion is not a vote. Jerry closed the AFD, not me, but I would assume that many of the keep statements were discounted. For example, the first keep statement, "Zafina is VERY notable, as she is a new character and deserves to be known about." does not mesh with Wikipedia:Notability. Being a new character does not mean she is notable. The next keep statement, "Every other character in the Tekken series has an article or an article that mentions them, describing them very well, so why shouldn't Zafina?" is a common argument that is referred to as other stuff exists and does not work in this case. I'll stop there, but that should give you the basic idea. Jerry elaborates a little more on why he closed as delete at the deletion review. Hope that answers your question. Pagrashtak 18:09, 19 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Need my workpage deleted

You suggested that I create a workpage for the Space marine chapter list, which I did, and thank you. I didn't think to move the article, however, and to do so (and preserve the article's history), I need an administrator to first delete the existing page. If you could do that, I would appreciate it.
