March 2009[edit]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Rtphokie (talk) 19:22, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Rtphokie (talk) 19:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the speedy deletion because it said if I thought it was wrong to do so - plus I just flat out rewrote it and then it no longer said the speedy deletion. I go there often and it is a place that should be in here - it is truly legendary in the poetry world. I did not know I should not delete those editorial things at the top. I apologize.

AfD nomination of Kriss Perras Running Waters[edit]

I have nominated Kriss Perras Running Waters, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kriss Perras Running Waters. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 03:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

FYI, in AfD discussions, normal practice is to only list your recommendation (keep, delete, merge, etc.) once. You're free to comment repeatedly in the thread, but set it off as a comment building on your earlier suggestion. Please don't start multiple comments in a single discussion with "Keep". —C.Fred (talk) 07:32, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Rude comments by other editors?[edit]

Looking at your contributions tonight, including your comment at User talk:Shawnpoo (diff), you mentioned "rude comments" left about the director of the film. I can't find any in the history of her article nor the film's article. If you could find the edit where you reverted these comments in the page history and give me the URL of the "prev" link (akin to the "diff" link I gave earlier in this comment), that will help me track down the rude comments so I can warn or block, as appropriate, the editor who left them. —C.Fred (talk) 07:11, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Additionally, please remember that discussion on AfD pages is about whether the article should be deleted and whether the subject is notable.

where is the venue for discussing the editor's conduct, because the comments on all of this are out of place - like saying Henry Mortensen should not be here because is the son of a famous person.

If you think he's not making the nominations in good faith, then his user talk page would be the place to start. There should be a link in his signature. However, in the Mortensen situation, his comment appears to be good faith—he's asserting that Mortensen's only significant claim to fame is through his father (and notability isn't inherited). —C.Fred (talk) 07:26, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Only has done small bit parts in movies. looks not like good faith. Laziness at best. --Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 07:29, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It took me a second to find how to communicate - I am only just learning my way around this site. Thank you for responding. If people did research on Henry Mortensen or ever attended one of his performances they would see he has done things on his own and attracts a crowd all his own. I have been to his performances and the people are there for him not his Dad, who often is not there to see the performance.

I do not know how to back track on the edits of the director's page, or I would do so for you. All I did was click edit and start putting in accurate information from IMDb and the Hollywood Reporter. Plus I looked at Without A Box and on the film's site where there is press kit information. I don't think a director would make a press kit with a famous person's son in the film if the kid was not in a credible project. What a career ruiner for the director if they did. There are only so many resources to prove a film exists, especially at the shorts level. And if we cannot post here on Wikipedia about these smaller projects that sometimes are not included in the Hollywood Reporter and IMDb, but often are, there are few other places where we can prove these smaller smaller or independent works exist. It seems they want to criticize no matter what - the remarks state he does not do work on his own but then when we post work on his own they criticise that we posted work on his own. Not cool.

Also it should be reconsidered about IMDb not being a credible source - it is REALLY hard to get a film into IMDb these days - they scrutinize a film like you would not believe. I don't know what it was like when you made the rule about IMDb not being credible, but I do know what it is like now - a film has to meet very strict criteria to get into IMDb now. So please reconsider that rule - like I said there are very few resources to prove a film exists and IMDb is considered the main source in the film industry.

About the "rude comments", are you talking about Talk:Kriss Perras Running Waters? --Avant-garde a clue-hexa Chord ² 08:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes sorry - there were rude remarks posted on the director's page, and I just happened on them when I went to see the page. I thought that was wrong so I went researching and edited the page with the resources the film industry has to prove what a person is doing in film. WLaccount (talk) 08:09, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow those are even worse - what is up with people and this director. The amgazine I knew she publushed had Henry Mortensen on teh masthead as well as a Pulitzer Prize nominated Photographer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WLaccount (talk • contribs) 03:14, March 8, 2009

I NOMINATE THE Talk:Kriss Perras Running Waters PAGE FOR DELETION AND DO NOT KNOW HOW TO TELL YOU - I can prove in an instant that much of that information is wrong. — Preceding unsigned comment added by WLaccount (talk • contribs) 03:34, March 8, 2009

If you would like to nominate a page for deletion please follow the instructions listed on this page. —Nn123645 (talk) 09:30, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

WQA notification[edit]

I have reported your recent actions to Wikiquette alerts. Such comments are unacceptable here. MuZemike 08:37, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

ANI notification[edit]

I've instead reported you right to Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents, especially in regard to the abovementioned incivility and what is going on at Talk:Kriss Perras Running Waters. Thank you, MuZemike 08:51, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your Recent Edits[edit]

Hey, I noticed the thread regarding your edits on wikiquette alerts and have stopped by to explain a few things in regard to your comments and attacks on other editors. As noted above, Wikipedia has a firm policy on personal attacks and civility. Saying that you request that users be banned for disagreeing with you is not permitted. While we do have a policy to ignore all rules that does not mean that you can blatantly ignore policy. To help guide you through the policies you may want to consider a program such as the adopt-a-user program or for specific requests the editor assistance program. You may also wish to use either the {{helpme}} template or the help desk for specific help questions. It should be noticed that incivility can result in a block on your account. —Nn123645 (talk) 09:23, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey thanks - it is no big deal really - it is just if you say that one person has to follow a certain set of rules then everybody shoul dhave to follow those rules

I was just upset because I asked for a page to be deleted that cited no sources for its attacks on the director whose page I rewrote (it is here with only one source that this writer of the negative remarks claims the director wrote about herself yet it was written by the OpEd News place http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Kriss_Perras_Running_Waters ) Also Wikipedia said the articles are suppose to be written from a neutral position and this thing is anything but neutral - so it is just upsetting that they wanted a page that I wrote that cited sources deleted but when I ask for this page that has virtually no sources and is very negative to be deleted, they report me to the administrators like I had no reason to be concerned. Also I did not know this Gog Dodo was an Admin person. But what I said is true - the comments that looked like vandalism were similar to what that admin person wrote. So that is all I am writing about. I am stickler for rules. I will read what you referred me to=. Thanks for the sources. I am new to Wikipedia additions. I've read it lots of times before but never posted anything until I posted that article. Then all of a sudden all these postings. I am going to do what I sai dtoo - I am gong to report that page to the PR Firm of Dick Guttman - he was on themasthead for that magazine and it is wrong to say so many bad things about a person like they are vain when they had all these cool people on themasthead. That Jeff Widener's work was beautiful and he was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. That's no vanity mag to me. Plus the mag had nice things in it, a ot of artists from all over the world.

Its important to realize deletion discussions are a debate, and that the quality of responses matters more than the quantity. As far as administrators, there is really distinct power difference between editors and administrators other than they have the ability to administrative actions as is described here. I welcome you to wikipedia and hope you can find your way through the maze of policies that we have. (I would recommend starting at WP:PILLARS and WP:Simplified Ruleset). If you have any further questions feel free to hit me up on my talk page or use one of the methods I described above for requesting help. It is important to note that there are different ways for articles to be deleted, one being the criteria for speedy deletion, the other the proposed deletion template, and the last one being articles for deletion. You may also find this ted talk by Jimbo Wales helpful to understanding how everything works. As a general note you may want to read the talkpage guidelines on how to use talk pages. In general it is standard practice to indent replies with a : at the beginning of the line.—Nn123645 (talk) 10:00, 8 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
