Thanks for fixing up this redirect page in proper WP style. Opus33 05:02, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Anytime. Thanks for hunting down all those Websters. Clicketyclack 05:07, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for starting and removing the speedy deletion tag from the 2008 Sugar Bowl page. It is much appreciated, and the page is looking great already! Hope to see you around! Chickyfuzz14^{(user talk)} 05:28, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

Anytime! Think I'll hold off from working on the 2009 Sugar Bowl page for now though. :-) Clicketyclack 05:31, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

You tagged this article for speedy deletion, but you did not notify the article's creator that it had been so tagged. While such notification is not mandatory, it is stongly encouraged, and this is mentioend in the variosu speedy deelte templates themselves. please consider notifing article creators of speedy delete tags in future. See Wikipedia talk:Criteria for speedy deletion#Notify authors about speedy deletion? where this issue was discussed.

However, thanks for finding this article -- Good catch!. DES ^(talk) 22:03, 7 May 2007 (UTC)

You're right. I tend to use NPWatcher (which has warnings built-in), but in this case I just ran across the page while looking for something else and forgot to leave a warning manually. Thanks, Clicketyclack 08:16, 8 May 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks for your help!

MetsBot bug

Hello. MetsBot seems to have a bug when handling URLs with ampersands: see this edit. I've undone the breakage, and put a deny tag on there while you fix the bug. If the fix is going to take a while, please disable MetsBot in the meantime, in keeping with policy on bots Thanks, Clicketyclack 05:45, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

All better. —METS501 (talk) 18:07, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Deborah C. Blue

Thanks for taking the time to tag this article for speedy delete, however the article does make an assertion of notability (senior administrator at a university, and appointments by the gov to a fairly high gov position), so CSD can't be used here. Feel free to prod or AfD it, though. AKRadecki 00:17, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

OK, will AfD, thanks. Clicketyclack 00:18, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Clickety, looks like the same person who wrote the Deborah article wrote a couple more for his friends in the University. Do you plan to list them after the Deborah AfD is done? Just curious if you saw it. :-) Stellatomailing 17:36, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, a few people at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Deborah_C._Blue appear to have noticed those. :-) They'll probably get AfD'd in due course. Clicketyclack 19:25, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

AFD nom that seems a bit harsh

Dear Clickeyclack:

you deleted my article on WEDI - Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange.

I founded the organization and I WROTE THE REPORT that you cited.

the report is in the public domain; and has been for more than 15 hyears.

Please undelete your deletion.

thank you

josephbrophy joe 13:41, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Joe,

I didn't delete the article, I only flagged it for deletion, since I could find no evidence that the work was in the public domain. If this was in error, then I apologise. The deletion log is here: you can request the deleting administrator to undelete it. Alternatively, you can simply recreate the article if you have an existing copy. If you can cite evidence in the article that you are the author of the work and that it's in the public domain, then it won't be deleted again. See Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted? for more info. Thanks, Clicketyclack 13:54, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Dear Clicketeyclack re WEDI

Hear is a copy of the email I recieved from the CEO of WEDI stating that the WEDI reports are in the public domain.

If you send me you email address, i can forward the orginal email so that you can verify the authentenicity of his note to me.

Please undelete my draft work on WEDI so i can continue to edit it.

josephbrophyjoe 04:05, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

  Dear Joe,

  Thank you for your inquiry.  This is to advise you that the 1992-93 WEDI Report is 
  available on the WEDI Website at www.wedi.org and is in the public domaine for your 
  reference and use.  We would ask that you cite WEDI as a source for the document or 
  any excerpts that you might care to utilize.  Please feel free to contact me with 
  any additional questions.

Dear Joe,

I didn't delete the article, so I can't undelete it. The deletion log is here: you can request the deleting administrator to undelete it, but that wasn't me- as you can see from the deletion log, it was the administrator Anas Salloum. Please have a read of Wikipedia:Why was my page deleted?, then request undeletion on Anas Salloum's talk page. Thanks, Clicketyclack 08:56, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Situation understood. I've restored the article (found here). I don't understand why you left me a warning though. —Anas ^talk? 11:00, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Aha, there's a minor mix-up here. No I didn't post anything to your talk page, that was User:Josephbrophy, whom I sent to discuss this with you since you were the deleting admin. He simply pasted giant chunks from User talk:Josephbrophy and from here onto your talk page, but only put his four tildes in the edit summary, so the paste-up appears on your talk page apparently signed by me :-). I don't want to mess with other people's edits on other people's talk pages, so I'd be grateful if you could fix the attribution please. Thanks, Clicketyclack 11:12, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Aha, I see. Sorry for that. —Anas ^talk? 11:27, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Biochemicals

Hi there, as I notice you are re-categorising several pages I thought I would mention that in usual usage the term "biochemicals" only refers to low molecular weight chemicals such as glucose, ATP or folic acid. This term is not usually applied to high molecular weight chemicals such as enzymes and proteins. The term used for all these these high and low mass chemicals is biomolecules. TimVickers 02:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Hello. Tricky one, this. Yes they should really be classified separately. But there isn't a Category:Biomolecules on the English WP. When I started doing recats, I found the category hierarchy of Category:Biochemicals already had Category:Proteins beneath it, Category:Enzymes beneath that and so on, so I assumed all biochemical macromolecules were deliberately included by WP convention under the single hierarchy, following some long-archived debate on categorization. Maybe that assumes too much. :-)

Note also that in Category:Biochemicals, the category heading says:

The main article for this category is Biomolecule.
See list of biomolecules for a listing of compounds of biochemical interest.

It almost looks as if two categories were merged, but all I can find in the edit history is a new category created on 10 June 2004, with nothing in the deletion log for Category:Biomolecules.

Dividing the two would require a fairly large recategorization, and a bit of thought about guidelines for division. It would also make category searches for biochemistry articles more complex. I should at least refrain from placing biomolecules directly at the top of the Biochemicals category though. Maybe I should kick off a discussion about categorization on Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biology. What do you think? Clicketyclack 04:12, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Going ahead and starting a discussion on this now at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biology: please join in if you're interested. Thanks, Clicketyclack 18:01, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Renaming the cat to Biomolecules sounds like an excellent idea. TimVickers 15:50, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirect of Radio glamorgan

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Radio glamorgan, by Mschel, another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Radio glamorgan is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Radio glamorgan, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Radio glamorgan itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 01:06, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

WEDI

dear clicketyclack; i sent the following note to Anas but he is taking time off for exams. joebrophyjoe 03:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

after being "undeleted" WEDI was set up as "Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange". Unfortunately this is not the name of the organiztion. The name of the organization is WEDI. Pronoucned "Wee Dee". Millions of people know it by the name of WEDI. However, a page already exists for WEDI for the call letters of a radio station. I plan to place a link from WEDI to a new page "WEDI - Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange". This would make sense to most users.

I hope you have success with your exams. I will wait a few days before executing this change in hope that I hear from you. I will also consult with other experts on Wikipedia, specifically Clicketeyclack and Avi. joebrophyjoe 03:08, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Joe, disambiguation's already been done: see WEDI. Please also see recent replies from ReyBrujo at User talk:Josephbrophy#WEDI (Workgroup for Electronic Data Interchange). Thanks, Clicketyclack 08:41, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

OK to delete (WEDI) workgroup for electonic interchange

please do not delete Workgroup for Electronic Date Interchange. I am editing this article and linking with sources, etc, etc. joebrophyjoe 01:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Not to worry, only flagged a redundant redirect for deletion, not the active article. Clicketyclack 05:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Being careful

Not so careful that it interferes with all the work you do. You do a lot of useful work, the bulk of which is highly accurate, and I'd rather correct an occassional not-major edit, than have you be so careful you do less! Thanks. KP Botany 14:10, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the encouragement, much appreciated. Clicketyclack 14:12, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

denaturation

the new link is not quite right - really points to protein denaturation, which is typically irreverisble,as opposed to dna denaturation,which is reversible hopefully, someone will step up to the plate soon Cinnamon colbert 13:20, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Hm, yeah, you're quite right. OK, I'll try to make the article talk about a bit more even-handedly about both. Please feel free to join in. Clicketyclack 13:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the reverts

Thanks for reverting User:Brewhaha@edmc.net's numerous edits. I was about to do it myself when I saw that you already took care of it. --Dpryan 01:34, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

No problem. I'm assuming that they were all good-faith edits. Clicketyclack 08:20, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

If you read comparisons before reversion, then you would hav no assumption to make. You should know that in the year I've been around, I can't recall ever reverting anyone's edit in entirety, and that some of the edits I made allowed me to see where wiki articles on similar subjects disagree. I arbitrated one citation request with a deletion. So, I hope that you viewed some comparisons.

I want this, in neurology:

Subcategories

There are 2 subcategories in this category, which are shown below. More may be shown

on subsequent pages.

E

[+] Electroencephalography

[+] Epilepsy

(Epilepsy disappeared, methinks. It fits under pathology in the literal sense.)

To read like this:

Anatomy

Chemistry

Diagnostics

Linguistics

Pathology -- category:Neuropathy,

category:Neuropathology

Physiology

category:Psychophysics

I've made most of the necessary edits, but they aren't showing up. Pathology is literally the study of disease, but the medical specialty is more like a diagnostic technician or diagnostician if you will -- the doctor's doctor, and seeming to be a natural as only a medical specialty -- one that also functions as a coroner. When the doctor orders tests, the pathologist does them and may submit interpretation. IOW, they use and interpret the diagnostic tools and lab results. So, if I create the category of pathology, I see much sense in going with the original definition and listing only disease neurological. Either that, or I make medical imaging a subcategory of pathology. Since there are a lot of laboratory tests, I think that's the sensible path.

Brewhaha@edmc.net 21:44, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Fascia article

I'm wondering why you removed fascia from Category:Anatomy and Category:Human anatomy? The article probably should be moved to Category:Organ Systems, which is a subcategory of Category:Anatomy. But it definitely belongs in Category:Human anatomy. It probably should be removed from Category:muscular system or added to all of the other systems it interacts with (nervous, cardiovascular, etc.). Massagenj 19:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

I was doing a category clearout of Category:Anatomy, which was pretty overloaded at the time: see Wikipedia:WikiProject Biology#Category maintenance. Looking at the article again, it seems you're right, I omitted a few important categories. It's in Category:Ligaments, Category:Muscular system and Category:Tissues at the moment. I'll add it to nervous & cardiovascular when I get a few minutes to spare, or please feel free to add it yourself. Thanks, Clicketyclack 12:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Done. Clicketyclack 21:14, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

E-tegrity Article

Hi, I've addressed the issues you cited in your speedy deletion notice to ensure the Entry for E-Tegrity is encyclopedic in nature with cross references within Wiki and articles within the public domain. Please advise if you have any additional issues with the content I have provided I have located the content on my usertalk page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:MattMassey. Thanks, Matt

Hello. A couple of the WP articles you cite mention "data integrity", but none mentions "e-tegrity", and the external articles don't even mention "data integrity". "E-tegrity" sounds to me more like a marketing neologism than a genuine technical term: I can't find any non-marketing hits on a Google search. So I'd say expanding Data integrity is a better idea than starting a new article around a neologism. Thanks, Clicketyclack 12:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for taking your time to read my article, bad link repair using AWB & spelling check. I really appreciated with your help... but recently my article title has been changed from The world's largest furniture wholesale center to Lecong Furniture Market by someone created the "High Point Market" article (which I think the original title is more suitable). Maybe he/she feel threaten by the fact or whatever the reason... So I really need someone like you to guide me on how to reverse back the title from Lecong furniture market to the original title.

As for reference, I have over 18 years of experiences in furniture line & visited many oversea international furniture fair & market which includes Italy, England, Germany, the United States (High Point Market) & Asia. The World Largest Furniture Wholesale Center which located in Shunde is a fact ( which is stated in their gov website, europe biz magazine & video proof ). So I really hope you could give me some useful advice...

Thank you Felinnchew

Hello Felinnchew. The editor who moved that article is Vegaswikian, as you can see from this entry in its edit history. In the first instance, the best action would be for you to contact Vegaswikian via his/her talk page, explain the problem, and try to arrive at a consensus for the article's name. Best, Clicketyclack 20:28, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

July 2007

Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. When using certain templates on talk pages, as you did to User talk:24.147.255.129, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:uw-test1}} instead of {{uw-test1}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. Thank you. Don't forget to subst: vandalism warning templates!! Bennyboyz3000 04:58, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Sorry, you're right, forgot to subst. Thanks, Clicketyclack 04:59, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

The Indelicates

I've added a reference for the statement about Julia having been in the Pipettes, but I can't see anything else unsourced in the article. Would it be reasonable to take off the sources tag, or have I missed something? Youandtheguys 16:47, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

No, it looks great now, nice work. I'll take off the tag. Thanks, Clicketyclack 21:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Ef (band)

Well, I started the article since the band appears in the list of post-rock bands. But I guess it's correct that it does not meet the criteria for notability. Hence i'll remove it from the list as well. - Saibod 11:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Good idea, thanks. Clicketyclack 12:00, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

At least they do satisfy the (disputed) WP:Band criterion #4. Let me know what you think. - Saibod 12:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

copyvio on Mr.?

I looked a the page that you suggested Mr. was infringing the copyright on; however, I could not confirm the copyvio. Are you sure you indicated the right web page or tagged the correct article? --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 14:18, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

you seem to have marked the wrong article while relying on NPWatcher-- I removed the speedy tag I know you're very experienced so I assume it was just a careless mistake this time. You surely generally carefully check every single one of them manually--the bot is for identifying the articles you want to check. DGG (talk) 14:40, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Apologies: that was indeed incorrect. This is a bug I've run across before in NPWatcher: I was trying to mark Mr. & Miss University International Beauty Pageant, and NPWatcher occasionally chokes on ampersands in titles. I marked it manually in the end, but didn't realise that the page Mr. was being tagged. I'll take the bug up with Martinp23, NPWatcher's author. Thanks for notifying me, and sorry for the error. Clicketyclack 15:10, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Speedies in general

please remember that Ay for nn cannot be used if there is an assertion of notability , as with Sachin Ketkar, nor can it be used for comic strips, just the categories specified on WP:CSD. There are serious proposals for the end to this speedy category because of overuse, and I'm sure an active NP watcher like you realises how important it is to WP to keep speedy in order to get the ones that do need speedy. DGG (talk) 14:47, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

After re-reading Sachin Ketkar, I would reluctantly agree that he's asserted notability, though it is a weak assertion. It might need to go to AfD though. On Parampara Comics, however, the article clearly asserts non-notability, something rarely seen from WP authors apart from joke articles. In this case, doesn't it seem reasonable to go with the author's assertion of non-notability? Even if it means stretching the CSD definition a little? Thanks, Clicketyclack 15:17, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Editting help

I notice you've just stuck a verifiability note on Mt Panorama Circuit. There already is an article on thise subject at Mount Panorama Circuit. Is there a method of deleting the new and superflous page? Or sticking a tag on it suggesting it should be removed? --Falcadore 15:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

I've redirected Mt Panorama Circuit to the original, since Mt Panorama is a reasonable search string for the subject. I'll link around the redirect now, in Mark Skaife and 1987 Australian Touring Car Championship. Thanks, Clicketyclack 15:28, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Brent Keith

I removed the {{db-empty}} tag from this article, since it had context and content. Granted, the text was hidden by an improperly formatted gallery, but the text was still there. It still has style issues, and I've tagged it as such, so it's worthwhile to keep an eye on it. Leebo ^T/C 16:05, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Aha, you're right. Thanks for fixing that. Clicketyclack 16:08, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Turns out the text was a straight copy & paste from Brian Keith's myspace site anyway, so I've speedied it for copyvio. Clicketyclack 18:51, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Good catch :) Leebo ^T/C 18:56, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Clifton MaCabe Murray

Thanks, Clicketyclack, for your note suggesting that this article may infringe copyright. Please would you indicate whose copyright you believe it infringes, and include evidence to support your assertion. OrangUtanUK 14:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello OrangUtanUK, the copyrighted material was removed in this edit, as it appeared to be a paste from this IMDB bio page. I simply cut the copyrighted stuff out, so you can expand on it in your own words. Thanks, Clicketyclack 14:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
