Welcome to my talk page! Please leave your message. I'll respond on your talk page unless I feel like I need to defend myself from what you're saying, in which case I'll reply here. Thanks!
Hey MangoJuice!
I'm relatively new to Wikipedia. Just got your message.
I'll understand if you feel the text on the "Harmonic Run" is necessary to delete.
However, I would be interested in what specific element of this rather short piece made it unsuitable for publishing on wikipedia?
That would give me an understanding, of what changes (if any) would make it more suitable?
Thankyou!

== Bouncing ==
I was wondering why there isn't a board here showing bad
admins. [[User:Geo.plrd|Geo.plrd]] 23:50, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
== Need a level head... ==
I saw your comments over at Bonnie Bracey's deletion page, and it so happens that the entry on me is up for deletion as well. There's a history there. Please take a look [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Taran_Rampersad here], and weigh in if you can. I personally don't care whether the page exists or not, but I personally believe that the deletionist involved has an axe to grind and is also, consistently, taking too much for granted in his notes for deletion.
The article [[Taran Rampersad]] has already passed a vote against Speedy Deletion. There's plenty of information on the Talk Page, and I'm certainly here to discuss things with should there be questions. I didn't make the page. But I am getting really tired of people arbitrarily going around and posting pages for deletion and removing content instead of adding value.
Thus, you may consider this a request for informal mediation ([[WP:Mediation]]) --[[User:TaranRampersad|TaranRampersad]] 22:24, 13 June 2006 (UTC).
:Hi Mango, I'd like to thank you for noting that the AfD was not simply placed "arbitrarily" but was due to the article's lack of citation and encyclopedic nature. I would, however, like to point out that I directed the user to [[WP:NPA]] due to the fact that his AfD comments violated the spirit and word of that policy in that he was commenting on editors and not edits. I also never accused him of making that article and noticed from his talk page that he has had little to no involvement with the article. Thanks for looking into the matter. I've actually already asked another admin to relist the AfD so that it can be discussed further but I don't know if they'll see fit to do that. I actually don't think it should be discussed more and that it should be deleted due to obvious reasons, but I still want to be fair to this user since he has such complaints. --[[User:Strothra|Strothra]] 13:21, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

== Why should trivia (by anyone's judgement) be deleted? ==
Hi... I posted the Sarah Rutledge Birnbaum article. I can see that you or others would view this as trivia, but I don't see it as trivia, and triviality does not seem to be one of the listed criteria for deletion, in any case: lack of verifiability, original research, lack of a neutral point of view, and copyright seem to be the criteria for deletion. The Birnbaum article does not violate any of those... one person's trivia is anothers golden nugget, so why delete it? [[User:Snugspout]] 22:55 14 June 2006 (UTC).
:Pardon me for dropping in uninvited, but I was just reviewing the article in question. I think that there is a very real question of notability here. The claim that SRB is the only person to have jumped twice seems to be unsubstantiated, and that claim is the only thing that would make her notable in terms of a WP article. Many people have jumped from the GGB and many people have committed suicide after a previous attempt failed. Still, having said that, I think that the info in the article is worth keeping if it could be condensed and merged, as was suggested in the Talkpage. I will probably vote to Merge, but I want to follow the chatter on this one for a bit first. Happy Editing! [[User:Doc Tropics|Doc Tropics]] 23:19, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
::After looking around, I don't really support the concept of notability... more likely that possible policy will lead to suppression of information useful to someone... I'm in the camp of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not paper|Wikipedia is not paper]]. The claim of the second jump is not airtight, but there is very good evidence in its favor: a witness saw a young women of similar physical characteristics jump at the right time, her car was found in the nearby GGB parking lot, and as far as I can tell by searching the newspapers, she never resurfaced alive or dead. The second news article (the feature one in the Examiner) is 10 days after the apparent jump, and would not have been written if there was an obvious problem. It is common for GGB jumper's bodies not to be recovered. [[User:Snugspout|Snugspout]] 23:07 June 15, 2006 UTC

== [[WP:BIO|WP:BIO]] ==
Thanks for your comment... [[WP:BIO|WP:BIO]] isn't something that I agree with.
After perusing the arguments, I think the fact that [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not paper|Wikipedia is not paper]] should result
in a very low threshold for inclusion. There will always be argument about exactly
where the threshold should be, and my opinion will be for a near infinitesimal threshold,
as long the point of view is neutral, the information is verifiable, and no copyright
is broken. [[User:Snugspout|Snugspout]] 22:50 June 15 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure they meet WP:MUSIC, but I won't protest this one much further if the full-term AfD shows that no one cares, as it is admittedly borderline.

== Are You Lonesome Tonight? (album) ==
You were right to note that [[Are You Lonesome Tonight? (album)]] is a real album, but it isn't an Elvis album. Two reasons the article was proposed for deletion were
*it wasn't on the [[Elvis Presley discography]] and
*it was using an image from [[Are You Lonesome Tonight? (song)|a single release]] as an album cover.
Your de-[[WP:PROD|prodding]] and de-[[WP:HOAX|hoaxing]] left the article in its original but still misleading state. Although I have little interest in the topic, I went ahead and turned it into something that is as least more accurate than it was before. Check it out and do what you will to verify and improve it and the related articles I just finished editing. Thanks. {{user|66.167.252.241}} 20:11, 20 June 2006 (UTC).

Hi Mangojuice,
Thank you for your work on the Schaeffer/Heenan/Monovox articles. I was stunned when I saw they were marked for deletion just a day after I added them and then further stunned when I saw the work you did including the citations. Your article was considerably better and more useful than my original and at the same time you saved it from deletion.
When I got the original notice that I was marked for deletion, I found a sick sort of humor in it. I thought to myself that after 10 years of playing and recording as a musician, I wasn't even worthy of a Wikipedia entry, despite the record deal and all that. Thanks to you at least some of the story is now preserved and can be shared.
So, thank you for taking charge of this. I am amazed that with all the articles that must be submitted daily, that you not only saved mine from deletion but took what obviously must have been a significant amount of your personal time to improve and cite the article.
Clearly it is people like you that continue to make Wikipedia such an incredible resource of information.
With kind regards,
Matthew Schaeffer
P.S. Any reason why the picture was removed? Might I try to post it again or would it be preferable to post a picture of the entire band? {{unsigned|Voxy}}
== [[Shock sites]], what do you think? ==
Hey, it's me again! ;-) I was wondering, do you think I should list the shock sites article on AfD? The article is basically unverifiable, a common target for vandalism/spammers and it can't really be expanded. They've only become verifiable due to trolls using them in specific forums, but does that really make it notable? How can you measure notability with shock sites? It also encourages the usage of them. I guess you could say I'm asking you for your advice, and yes I'm aware that it has been to AfD several times already so I'll need a good argument.

MJ,
Great work on getting crypto through the featured process. I think I was the last person to try it, and even Matt opposed then. I think we'll make it this time.
On another topic, you seem to have heard something i've not about US policy re crypto. After the exchange on this, I thought I had clarified my qualms about the plain statement that it is no longer classed as munition. Can you point me someplace on this point? As it were...

On another topic, I may be the last to add my support (head down blinders keep me out of the breaking news loop), and given the lack of opposition, it's obviously only dilly-dallying amongst the powers-that-be which prevent you from joining the ranks. Welcome to the (is it one?) club. [[User:Ww|ww]] 18:40, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

M, Well, the blinders are apparently appearing in inability to remember anything, and to miss things later on anyway.
As for digital signature, I agree that it could be a featured candidate. I would point out though, that there is a lot of very unsophisticated perspective on the topic, and the attempt to understand the cryptographic contingencies and all will be difficult.

== Congratulations... ==
Hey, congratulations on your successful RFA... Between the FAC and this, I see that you can't stop putting thank you messages on my talk page ;-) All the best, [[User:Schutz|Schutz]] 21:57, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
:He's been doing it to mine as well. Noticed that mine are sort of mango colored? Coincidence? I think not... And from me also, congratulations. [[User:Ww|ww]] 18:27, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
Congrats on your new position, though I did not fully support, I now believe you are ready for the job because of all the other voters. Hope to see a positive impact from you. Congratulations again. --<font color="336699">[[User:WillMak050389|Will]]</font><font color="660000">[[User Talk:WillMak050389|Mak]]</font><font color="gray">[[Special:Contributions/WillMak050389|050389]]</font> 22:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

== Block of {{vandal|202.72.148.102}} ==
Blocking of this ip can cause collateral damage as I am aware from past experience. We have a very persistant vandal making use of this ip address. I will unblock for now, but I suspect our vandal will shortly return. He's made threats of doing so as recent as this morning. I'll keep an eye on things from here, but from past experiences 15 minute blocks do little to solve the problem. Thanks for the reminder. -- [[User:Longhair|Longhair]] 04:37, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

== cryptography edits on the 4th ==
M, I've tried to review the changes you made in my wake on this date, but find some WP behavior has mostly defeated me. Do you also find that some presentations of 'compare versions' produce very long lines such that the previous version takes up the entire browser window, crowding the later version off to the right? Unworkable, I find.
Anyway, as nearly as I can somewhat dinly make out, I agree with some, disagree with others, of your changes. On the disagreements, it is almsst always with a change you have made when I was attempting to sneak an informational context into the reader's mind. For instance, I mentioned DES' more secure variant in the discussion about standards, and I did so for an explicit and carefully considered reason. I was attempting to slide in the idea that variants of algorithms can have quite differetn properties. Via the readers peripheral perception, as it were. Without a direct assult with a verbal 2 x 4. A useful point to be made in attempting to get the Average Reader up to some sort of speed re modern crypto practice. There were some others of this type if my (limited as you will recall from my RfA vote(s)) memory worked well enough to understand what I was seeing.
In other cases, you've gotten the idea I was after better than I had.
Let me see if I can find a way past this infuriating contrast behavior and manage a more substantial reaction. [[User:Ww|ww]] 18:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
== cryptography edits and nr of the beast ==
M, I understand the oddities of reading the compare versions screens, I just haven't figured out when and why (and what to do about) the far too wide display. If you did remove the observation about block mode, and it's what I think I remember, I was trying to sneak something in there as well. Algorithms, even good ones, can be worthless if not properly used. There is no goodhousekeeping seal of crypto approval -- a significant reality which is fairly (if not brutally) includable inan intro article.
And yes, I expect that our divergences are related to exactly what you suggest -- my attempts to build more into the Average Reader's mind, in preparation for more info about crypto, or just genral context than you attempt to do. If I recall correclty the long series of edits I did added no more than a dozen or two words, so I thought them not unacceptable on those grounds.
As for 666, by using gematria (?, I think I have the term right) a common phrase for Nero adds up to the 666. But, there is an early anuscript in which the nr is 616, which is the addition for another common phrase for Nero. And no, though I have actually seen a referencable paper on this, I can't supply a pointer. I'll flog my brain and try to remember. Kahn might have something, but my copy is packed up.

== reverted edit in Aristasia discussion (readded Chameleon's comment) ==
My apologizes. I have added the comment back in and put a little comment next to it. Is that ok?
It's up to you, but I personally think Aristasia should be removed from AfD, because it has notablilty.

Thanks for the undeletion. I'm actually an admin myself, so I could have done it, but didn't want to step on any toes! -- [[User:Chuq|Chuq]] 13:26, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
== List of Songs Containing the word Fuck in a Prominent Position ==
I consider it patent nonsense. No meaningful content in the context of the article name. Because of its subjective nature it doesn't really serve the purpose it intends. whatever that may be. --[[User:Crossmr|Crossmr]] 03:57, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
== hello? ==
I am new to this. are you there?
== Edit warring again. Please help. ==
Hi! Thank you for your [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AAndriyK&diff=62243584&oldid=62220480 message] and for the warning to [[User:Kuban kazak]]. Unfortunatelly, Kuban kazak was not the only one who provoked the edit war. Two more users [[User:Irpen|Irpen]] and [[User:Grafikm_fr|Grafikm_fr]] provoked the edit war by removing the dispute tags [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ukrainization&diff=62088166&oldid=62008078] ,[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ukrainization&diff=62278352&oldid=62262972], [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ukrainization&diff=62215134&oldid=62214238].
[[User:Irpen|Irpen]] started it again today on another article [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Patriarch_Filaret_%28Mykhailo_Denysenko%29&diff=62594960&oldid=62593605] (in fact, the tag has been explained [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3APatriarch_Filaret_%28Mykhailo_Denysenko%29&diff=62594125&oldid=62160253]).
I will not restore the tag, otherwise I will be again accused for "revert warring". Still, delition of properly inserted dispute tags is against the policy. The community has to do something to stop it. Please help me to solve this problem.--[[User:AndriyK|AndriyK]] 18:44, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
