Racism
[edit]As for your so-called racist remarks made towards me, your constant edits concerning Zodiac signs had nothing to do with race. It has been discussed time and time again that categorizing article by Zodiac signs was highly frowned upon. For one, if such were allowed, every person would be in 1 of 12 categories, leaving thousands of articles to be grouped into one category. Second, it is entirely un-encyclopedic. I have yet to see one respected encyclopedia that mentions a person's Zodiac sign -- unless that person was harmed or any event happened was specific to their Zodiac sign. Also, your removing of a category for deletion template is not allowed. It is there for a discussion whether or not the category will stand. It is a highly unanimous decision that it will be deleted when voting is over. You can make your point here if you wish to do so. --Zimbabweed 23:03, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
You might want to try using your sandbox
[edit]I have noticed that you are experimenting with templates and infoboxes. Instead of using your talk page to try it out, you might want to try your sandbox that you can edit here. To make it easy to get to, you might want to place a wiklink on your user page that links to User:A Different World/sandbox (your sandbox).
Astrological/Zodiac Signs
[edit]I really respect your contributions on Wikipedia but adding Zodiac signs to articles is irrelevant and not needed. Datpiff 04:48, 2 November 2006 (UTC
Please stop vandalizing Cam'ron's page. Thank you. --Datpiff 02:34, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Twilight AfD
[edit]Please do not mess around with my nomination for deletion. If you wish to make your point, please do so properly. And to imply that I am racist is a violation of WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF: please refrain from such comments in the future. I am not part of some wiki-conspiracy to oppress black people. Thank you. Moreschi 22:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
- Please stop removing Articles for deletion notices or comments from articles and Articles for deletion pages — it is considered vandalism. You may comment at the respective page if you oppose an article's deletion. Thanks. The Crying Orc 08:56, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
- Look, it isn't complicated. The rapper is question is not notable enough for a Wikipedia biography - or so it would appear - and making threats will get you nowhere. So no, he doesn't "deserve it". Moreschi 11:49, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
Talk pages
[edit]Please don't blank talk pages. --Elaragirl ||||||Talk|Count 17:17, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
- Seconded. Furthermore, howling "RACIST" ar people is against policy: please read WP:CIVIL and WP:AGF. You might also like to remember that Wikipedia is a reputable encyclopaedia, not Myspace. Persons who are non-notable per WP:BIO are liable to have their Wikipedia articles deleted. Yes, I can "profile" Wikipedia - it's called weeding out those that are non-notable. Thank you. Moreschi 18:01, 16 November 2006 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Twilight (rapper), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article is a repost of either already posted material, or of material that was previously deleted under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. If you can indicate how Twilight (rapper) is different from all other articles, or if you can indicate why this article should not be deleted, I advise you to place the template {{hangon}}, and also put a note on Talk:Twilight (rapper) saying why this article should stay. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11 under General criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. We welcome your help in trying to improve Wikipedia, and we ask you to follow these instructions. -- ReyBrujo 04:29, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
Don't recreate Twilight under any title or you will be blocked from further editing. If you want a review of the decision that was made at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Twilight (rapper), go to Wikipedia:Deletion review. NawlinWiki 19:50, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

This is for recreating Twilight A.K.A. Tha Futcha after the above warnings. NawlinWiki 13:07, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Prod warning
[edit]I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Maryland, Liberia, Yonkers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues at Talk:Maryland, Liberia, Yonkers. You may remove the deletion notice, and the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.

Another editor has added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Mixtape DJ, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
