Hah

I just found this[1]. Colour me amused. (expat Brit in St Louis) — Timotab ^{Timothy (not Tim}^dagnabbit!) 03:54, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

DB

Aye. I thought I had reverted the blanking of another use (I didn't blank it myself) before tagging it and I'll make sure to add categories to speedy deletion tags in future. --TheSeer (TalkˑContribs) 02:45, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

User page

Hello Natalie Erin,

Thank you for deleting my user page earlier this evening. I have decided to walk away from working on wikipedia. The last few days I have been involved in a rather pety editwar with an unnamed user, 69.123.66.156. After my page was deleted, I went back and looked at this person's history, and found his abusive language was not wholly unique to me. While that makes me feel a little better, I think this editor needs to be strongly advised that this behavior is unacceptable. 76.29.14.57 05:40, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Note

Hi Natalie, Yes, you are correct that I am the co-author of this book. I will take your suggestions and mention it on the "talk" page before posting about it. Thanks again. Best, twinstrangers

Note

Hello Natalie, Sorry for my unauthorized use of links on wikipedia. As you must have guessed, I'm new here and am just finding my way around. I certainly didn't mean to break any rules! I'll study up before editing or posting again. Best, Paula (aka twinstrangers) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twinstrangers (talk • contribs) 18:13, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Accusations

Hi Natalie - please drop me a note and explain why my additions of external links have been deleted. I have only linked to relevant content that expands on a topic that could not otherwise be contributed to WP pages.

I have added links to white papers published by MS describing in depth uses of software that is discussed on wikipedia - furthering the knowledge about how these products work and what their intended usage is.

I have added links to games to demonstrate what that particular game is and how it is played - this is information not available on the site nor on any other external links. This seems to be valuable information for someone looking at a game page - as the playing of the game is inherently the preeminent purpose of the games existence.

Further I have seen external links on most of these pages that don't relate nearly as well to the topic, nor do they share any sort of unique information, as the links I posted.

Deletion

You have given no valid reason for the removal of the prod for future predator or made any attempt to fix the complaints made. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nubula (talk • contribs) 23:14, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

NEW MESSAGE

There is no option to add a new message so I am adding on to this one. Sorry about that. Hope you can improve the product to fix it.

My complaint is that you decide something is "vandalism" based on your own biased standards and politics. You support left-wing causes and consider vandalism to be anything that presents an opposing point of view. You believe that there is one truth when truth is relativistic. This truth drives you to ignore and delete facts which are the foundation of history. This is the path to a totalitarian state such as the Soviet Union. You are too young at 23 to know much of the world or how it works. But trust me, you are a tool at this point. And by deleting what others post or say you are helping to maintain the status quo. Which makes you the ultimate conservative. Quite ironic for someone from Antioch College!

P.S. Feel free to delete my account, since that will make you feel powerful. But don't believe for a moment that by censoring others you change the facts, or win any converts to your own point of view. It is far more likely that you make another enemy, and win another point for your opponents. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.83.221.95 (talk) 18:20, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Leuk the Duck

Hello, thanks for reviewing Leuk the Duck. I re-worded most of it, and was still in the process of it, when you deleted it. Would you please be able to review your decision, and restore it. Or instead compare my version with the website's version? I realise the initial version was very very similar, but I have changed a lot of it. I would appreciate you taking a look at it again, and giving me some more time if you think it is not up to stratch. Thank you. Phgao 14:24, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Furthermore, I would like to add that the speedy tag said it was "unquestionably a copyright infringement", however my changes meant that a google search would not come up for it, as well as it being not unquestionably, I think. Phgao 14:25, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your comments, I think you give valid points. See you around! Phgao 14:39, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

Deleted Shums Hoda article, why?

Hello,

I see that you deleted the Shums Hoda article from Wikipedia. You stated that it was a "Biographical article that does not assert significance". However this article has great significance in the world of many. Not only was it a biographical article, it was also adding to the idioms of the English language. I ask you to please restore the article as it was.

Thanks, Yaminc 18:41, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, that was my intention. Unfortunately, I didn't remember to change the edit comment before making that edit. I've now changed my settings with a more general comment so this won't happen again. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:29, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

What do you have against gurple? It's not freaking nonsense, you jerk! I was serious! Honestly. I was dead serious. I can't belive you dumb wiki nerds. You don't even care!

Image talk:Webster n02.jpg

Hello Ms. Natalie Erin. Could you please visit again the page above? It seems we do have a copyright problem - the images are from a 1949 work by Ms. Nesta Helen Webster, Spacious Days (her autobiography).

Best wishes, --Ludvikus 07:04, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

You said:

    Image of Nesta Helen Webster, taken from http://freemasonry.bcy.ca/anti-masonry/webster_career.html.
    According to site, the photo is of Webster at the age of 22.
    Webster was British and born in 1876, meaning that this photo was published in 1908.
    This makes it public domain in the United States regardless of where it was originally published
   ([2]).
   Natalie 00:38, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Ms. Natalie, I hope you don't mind if I correct your logic?

The photo is from a book published in 1949 (Spacious Days, her autobiography) - that's all that matters.

So unless you can show that the photo was published earlier than that, "we've got a problem, Houston."

But aside from that, I dont understand your arithmetic. How did you compute 1908? 1876 + 22 = 1898.

Yours truly, --Ludvikus 07:26, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

RE User:SPolgar/Creative 22 Records

Sorry about that; I was in a rush (having only just remembered I needed to reply to SPolgar) and completely forgot about the speedy tag. Walton^One 13:01, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Why

Natalie,

I have read your comments regarding the deletion on my contribution of the word DEMIC. For your information: If you bothered to look at who I work for and what I do you would see that I work in the rail industry in the UK. As this is rail terminology there will quite obviously be no written source available on the internet as this saying originated from victorian times. To remove something without contacting the contributer first in my opinion is just plain wrong. Nothing like putting someone off contributing quite like Natalie Erin!!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Michaelduly (talk • contribs)

RE:Pandabubba

I had transwikied the page to the Xiaolin Showdown Wiki. I had set everything up alright over there, but I wasn't sure what to do here. Should I not be performing the transwiki or should I just not tag the pages here for speedy deletion? Jay32183 21:06, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

OK, thanks. I'll transwiki the other articles hidden under redirects, and just leave the Wikipedia redirects alone then. Jay32183 21:15, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Paul Johnson

Did not spot the (c) notice on the LaTrobe site. I am sure that Paul (an old friend and former colleague) would not have minded, and only wrote it to be helpful to Wiki because I spotted that Wiki positively wanted an entry on him (his name is in red on the LaTrobe entry). Anyhow, I have let him know, and his office can take it further if they are bothered. I guess I will give up on wiki after this experience of your editing style - I think it would be courteous to let people know directly if you are going to delete their entries.

Gina Montana...

Can you recreate and redirect to Scarface (1983 film)? I was in the process of redirecting when you deleted...it's a potentially legitimate search term. While the page creator definitely didn't err in the side of taste or style, the context of the article was technically true. Smashville 00:11, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

WP:MCQ

Please, if someone posts a pile of garbage to the header template, it's not particularly helpful to move it to the page when it's equally inappropriate there. TCC (talk) (contribs) 00:52, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I didn't say it was vandalism -- although it may well have been -- I said it was a "pile of garbage", which is true whether it was a good-faith edit or not. We get inappropriate questions all the time on that page. To the extent there was a coherent question in all that, it wasn't about media copyrights. Or if it was, it shouldn't have been. TCC (talk) (contribs) 03:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

I am a longtime contributor to that page, and I am getting absolutely tired of irrelevant material ending up there, the volume of which has only been increasing for the past several months. If you could figure out what she was asking about, then you should have put it where it belonged since you were the one moving it in the first place. Why on earth you thought it was helpful to repost a "question" to the wrong page is something I just don't understand. All you're doing, if you expected it to be addressed, is burdening the contributors there unnecessarily. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:33, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of Sellardoor article

Natalie,

You deleted an article I added about a band called Sellardoor on the grounds that is wasn't signifcant. I am not sure why this happened. I noticed the band had no article on wikipedia, disgussed it with some other fans of the band, and figured I would start one. I am sure their would be much interest and future edits and additions to the article. What can be done to change this. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Drew philly (talk • contribs) 01:04, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Removal of Afds'

Thanks for removing the speedy on Mike Omoighe. Honestly can't acutally remember marking that one, might have been by mistake. As for PokerTracker, I'll look into it a bit further and decide whether to persue it or not. Arendedwinter 03:50, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Olszyna

Hi Natalie, please can you leave my move of Olszyna to Olszyna (disambiguation) because I will be moving another article to Olszyna (the town of this name is more notable than the other villages). Thanks--Kotniski 14:54, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Economic worries in present time

Hi Natalie,

You are the Administrator who first welcomed me to Wiki, and for that I thank you. You seem like a gentle soul.

My contributions to Wikipeia centered around "Stagflation", an economic condition which occurs when both inflation and recession are in full blast at the same time, something like the times we are in.

I came to contribute to Wiki by an odd route, for I had tried to explain Stagflation to my wife, an MBA in her Thirties and she had never heard of it. Wiki had been handy when I wanted to explain how to live the yamas and niyamas 100% from one's essence, but at Stagflation, back in the Spring of 2007, it was rhetoric I found, empty rhetoric which never came close to concept itself.

Thus I contributed based on my decades in that field, and many other economists followed behind, sometimes terming me "long winded", but at the end of the exercise, we -- the collective set of those who cared enough about economics to get it right -- got it right.

This Wiki thing was way new to me except as a user, yet at that point it was very satisfying.

Then I came across a paragraph further into the Stagflation entry within Wiki, "Stagflation worries in present time."

Since there were plenty unfolding as the months passed, I began to log in events and tie the event to the grander macro- or micro-economic aspect which was a Stagflation worry.

The rest appears in my Talk Page.

Hence,I no longer contribute.

MotorcycleUSA.com

I agree with your speedy deletion of MotorcycleUSA.com, but why did you not delete MotorcycleUSA which was an exact duplicate of MotorcycleUSA.com? --Bejnar 23:58, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Many, many thanks!

I'm glad you clobbered that person on the rampant copyvio spree. It isn't like we didn't try and warn him/her. Looks like there's one more image of his still on the contribs page, but I'm sure it'll get clobbered. Take care and keep fighting the good fight! Admins are so abused here; I should know. :) --PMDrive1061 00:56, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

I can't begin to tell you how many nasty-grams I used to get on my talk page from users who put more effort into excoriating me rather than actually making a positive contribution. The guy who ran me up the "administrator abuse flagpole" after I deleted his silly little dicdef was just the last straw. Believe me, you and all the admins have my support and you'll never read a single insult over anything I may have done incorrectly (see my user page for a recent example). I like doing just plain editing. Besides, I have full rights on another Wikia project and that's a big responsibility. No one else seems to want to take it on. Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. Keep up the good fight. All the best, --PMDrive1061 01:18, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

David Lind

I notice that there's been much controversy about David Lind. I also notice that you're taking history in college. Does your concept of history include revising it to fit your best interests?

We're talking about American history here, both David Lind and your studies. One thing that we're always taught in America is that truth prevails in one's studies. What's happened to yours? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.212.154.129 (talk) 01:55, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Wtf

You deleted the Dead On The Swingset page due to "lack of signifigance", although I thought the purpose of a place such as wikipedia was to share as much knowledge as possible. It contained information that many other fans did not know about, and had much signifigance to them, although there are very few (around 1,500). If you can explain to me what this is all about I'd appreciate it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Kodym (talk • contribs)

Companies

Natalie, I am wondering how some companies such as Hellmuth Obata Kassabaum, Turner Construction and Faithful & Gould are able to put up articles without them being marked for a speedy deletion. What is the standard for this? What is the difference between Turner Construction and Hellmuth, Obata, Kassabaum? Turner Construction has an edit regarding it being written like an advertisement, while HOK is marked for more references. I am asking because I want to write an article about a company and need to know the difference. Thanks Realchili 21:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Thankya!

Thanks for the kind words. I don't know if it'll be enough to change things, but I'm glad at least one person found my Cassandra-esque rambling enlightening. :) --Alecmconroy 21:16, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Simpsonville, Texas

Hey Natalie...unless someone re-edited it, I had replaced the originator's copyvio from Simpsonville, Texas and made it a stub. Can you restore the stub version? (I'd just go back and repost it, but I can't remember what towns it was adjacent to...can you lose your memory at 26?).Smashville 21:18, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Speedy G4

Hmmm, actually I see conflicting info on this. The article on speedy deletion G4 states that "Articles that were only previously speedily deleted do not fall under this category" HOWEVER, the actual G4 template states (which I had always relied on) "PROD-deleted articles are not eligible under this criterion, and Speedily deleted articles are not automatically eligible". Not automatically available is not the same as do not fall under. In any case, I suppose the Speedy article, not the template is controlling authority, so I stand corrected. Cheers!! - superβεεcat 22:05, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Why did you delete my Binary Cam page?

You tagged it as "blatantly advertising". Blatantly advertising what? I was not advertising anything. I do not work for bowtech, in fact I do not even live in a country in which one may even seek employment with them. I just like bows, and I like the technology behind them.

Do you even know what a Binary Cam is? Everything I wrote on that page was basically reflections of opinions I have seen in reviews of the Binary Cam system or the bows that utilise them on online bow shops or in archery magazines. I think you were a little overactive in your deletion of this, if you thought it was one sided or biased thats one thing, at best I am a fanboy of the technology but in no way was I trying to advertise it. Please restore this article and I will try to neaten it up a little and remove some of the references to the company that sells the equipment but there was no reason to kill it completely. Did you consult any archers and ask them if they thought the article was blatant advertising?

So I ask you, what did you actually achieve by deleting my article? I cant see anywhere else on wikipedia that can inform you what a Binary Cam system for a compound bow is, how it works or what sets it appart from more traditional cam systems. 4 month ago I was totally new to archery and had no idea what a Binary Cam was. It took me a few hours on Google and a lot of random articles on archery websites before I understood it, but why must that be so? isn't wikipedia supposed to be about centralising information?? 4 months ago I really could have benefited from a Binary Cam article on wikipedia which is why I made one once I had acquired sufficient knowledge of the technology. Then you go and delete it. I can't help it if all the reviews of the technology I have read have been very good, or that it happens to be licensed to a single bow company at the moment. If it is inevitable that ANY Binary Cam article reads like an advertisement due to the fact that it is currently licensed to a single manufacturer and has received plenty of praise I would say then nothing can be done about it and it should at least still exist simply for information purposes.

I sincerely hope you restore this now that you know 1) I do not work for bowtech 2) I am just a fan of bows and their technology 3) The reason it reads like an advertisement is because the archery community is genuinely highly positive about the new technology and 4) Having removed this article the infosphere is now significantly depraved for the purpose of bow information as result.

Missed Call deletion

Hi Natalie, just to give you the heads-up since you were the most recently deleting admin, the user who created that missed call page came to my talk page to contest the deletion. (I was the one who placed the template and notified him.) I wasn't sure where to send him to contest it since the article was speedily deleted, so I told him to come here. I left his comments on my talk page so that you can see them. RainbowOfLight ^Talk 04:52, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Hey, you were right, I shouldn't have deleted that under G1, I'm not sure, exactly why I did so right now, I'd deleted it, so, I restored it. I've never done so before, so, if you could take a peek, and make sure I did it right? :) Thanks! SQL^{(Query Me!)} 05:33, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
