== [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|Proposed deletion]] of [[:Proxy list]] ==

== Editor review ==

[[File:Ambox warning yellow.svg|left|link=|alt=Notice|48px|]]

The article [[:Proxy list]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:

Hi, i'd just like to thank you for a very informative/constructive review, i believe i've learnt a lot from it and would just like to say thanks for helping me improve myself as a wikipedian. thanks :) [[User:Thatperson|Thatperson]] 20:49, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

<blockquote>'''The concept of a list of [[proxy server]]s is not notable.'''</blockquote>

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be [[WP:DEL#REASON|deleted for any of several reasons]].

Me too, same again! (I wasn't going for an Adminship though)Thanx [[User:Umpajug|Andrew Marsden]] 17:45, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your [[Help:edit summary|edit summary]] or on [[Talk:Proxy list|the article's talk page]].

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion process]], but other [[Wikipedia:deletion process|deletion process]]es exist. In particular, the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] process can result in deletion without discussion, and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] allows discussion to reach [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify -->

== Thanks for the editor review! ==

This is an automated notification. Please refer to the [[Special:PageHistory/Proxy list|page's history]] for further information. [[User:DatBot|DatBot]] ([[User talk:DatBot|talk]]) 00:31, 30 June 2025 (UTC)

Concise and helpful, cheers [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 12:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

:I know you pointed out my problem of repeated comment adding on talk pages, but this is the last one! I was pleased with your comments regarding AfD, and will take your suggestions to heart, I have replied on the editor review itself if you would like to check it out? [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 12:27, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

::Cheers again, my mulitple talk page thing is normally because I think of something else to say! I've got it to prompt me now for blank edit summaries, though it doesn't do it for talk pages? (lets see)... oh no it does [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 17:14, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

==Disambiguation link notification for August 22 ==

==RfA==

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited [[List of vampiric creatures in folklore]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Baka]]. Such links are [[WP:INTDABLINK|usually incorrect]], since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. <small>(Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].)</small>

So do you think I could make an RFA someday? If I address my edit summary (have done that, it prods me each time i edit now) and begin RC patrolling (I've started doing that, as well as continuing the new page patrol I was doing already), I've also archived my talk page like you suggested, my email was already linked in... I think those were the points you made? Regards, [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 18:18, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

:That's a very insightful reply, thankyou! I've taken all your points to heart, and I was planning to wait a while anyway but your reasons makes sense also. I will take a look at that WP:XFD thing, but when you say " active project participation, e.g. at WP:HD, WP:VP" what do you mean exactly? [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 19:34, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I have done some military history wikiproject contribution aswell, and have recently be creating articles here there and everywhere when iv been coming across red links. Ill have a look at both areas you suggested. Cheers again [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 11:04, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

== Editor reviews ==

Delldot, thank you for your kind offer re: editor reviews. As you saw the review was pulled after about four days due to lack of response and now I sorry but am out of time to reinitiate it. Maybe someone else up for review would benefit? Again thanks very much. -[[User:Susanlesch|Susanlesch]] 23:58, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

== re: my editor review ==

I appreciate the comments you left on my editor review! I would like to clear up a few misunderstandings:

*Rv v: I tend to use [[WP:VP|Vandalproof]] many times, so that would explain my automated messages. Since the time when I started receiving complaints from some anons about my reversions, I decided to cease using Vandalproof until I think I am capable of reverting vandalism at such a quick pace. Right now, I just monitor my watchlist with popups.

*Block: I once got into a complex conflict with [[User:Chacor|Chacor]] after a conflict in [[Talk:Esperanza]] with [[User:Ral315|Ral315]]. That was a '''very''' complicated situation.

*Wikibreak: I put myself on semi-Wikibreak because of the semester exams I have next week. I still edit in Wikipedia talk/Talk namespaces, mostly for participating in discussion/debate. When my exams are over, I plan on returning to "normal" and frequently edit articles.

Other than that, I thank you for your advice given to me regarding RfA, but I don't plan on going for it in the near future. I'm currently too busy with school activities going on, and I feel that I wouldn't be able to use my admin tools well.--'''''[[User:Ed|<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Ed</font>]]''''' ^{[[User talk:Ed|<font color="maroon" face="comic sans ms">¿Cómo estás?</font>]]}<small>[[Wikipedia:Editor review/Ed|Reviews?]]</small> 05:21, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks for the Editor Review!! ==

Wow..it doesn't seem like I'm the only one who appreciates your reviewing ^.^

Well, I just wanted to say thanks. I've read it quite a bit, and I'm thinking of implementing a few of your suggestions. Just have a question, though..

You noted that I should include edit summaries. I'm a bit confused by that. What should I include in the summary box?

But thanks anyhow! [[User:VelocityEX|VelocityEX]] 22:51, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

== rfa ==

Those edits were both over 8 months ago, and I'm kind of ashamed of what I did on [[Pretty Baby]]. I've done a lot more [[WP:MOSDAB]] enforcement since then. I didn't bother with warnings on the two you cited because one was over a month old and the other was several days old from an otherwise inactive IP. Either way it didn't seem likely to help any.

== My RFA ==

Hey, thanks so much for supporting my recent [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/Budgiekiller|RFA]]. A number of editors considered that I wasn't ready for the mop yet and unfortunately the RFA did not succeed (69/26/11). There are a number of areas which I will be working on (including changing my username) in the next few months in order to allay the fears of those who opposed my election to administrator.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you sincerely for your support over the past week. I've been blown away by the level of interest taken in my RFA and appreciate the time and energy dedicated by all the editors who have contributed to it, support, oppose and neutral alike. I hope to bump into you again soon and look forward to serving you and Wikipedia in any way I can. Cheers!

Hello,

Yes, i know the guidelines; that is why I didn't want anyone to delete it yet because i'm still researching to find out if i can find enough of the right kind of publications to meet the guidelines. I'm not sure how long that will take but I hope it will be done before it is deleted. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[Special:Contributions/24.210.149.163|24.210.149.163]] ([[User talk:24.210.149.163|talk]]) 07:04, 16 January 2007 (UTC).</small><!-- HagermanBot Auto-Unsigned -->

== RE: My editor review ==

Thanks for commenting on my editor review. I have a couple of queries about how to improve my standing in a future RfA:

* I've been patrolling [[Special:Newpages|new pages]] and started/commented on several AfDs; do these count as edits to the WP namespace, and are they helpful in improving my RfA standing? Should I also try and 'diversify' with other kinds of WP namespace tasks?

* More importantly, what kind of answer should I put to q1 of the RfA? I still don't get exactly what kind of thing the community is looking for.

* Generally, have I been doing enough on technical/WP tasks rather than purely content-related edits?

[[User:Walton monarchist89|Walton monarchist89]] 09:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

:Sorry to keep bothering you, but I have another question - it's about speedy deletes. As you know I do a lot of [[WP:NPP|newpage-patrolling]] and AfDs - but when I add a speedy tag to an article, and the article is subsequently deleted, it disappears from my contribs page. Does this mean it won't count towards my edit count in RfA, and if so, does this mean I should focus on things other than speedy deletes? [[User:Walton monarchist89|Walton monarchist89]] 13:26, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

::Just one more question, this time not directly related to RfA. Did I do the right thing [[User talk:Markdsgraham|here]]? A newbie created a page ([[Clifford Orwin]]) who I found to be non-notable per [[WP:PROF]]. I didn't want to scare away the user in question, since the article was very well written. Was I tactful enough, and is there an approved/standard method for dealing with situations like this? [[User:Walton monarchist89|Walton monarchist89]] 17:17, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

== Accusore ==

The AFD tag you asked about was added by [[User:70.224.229.167]]. He/she couldn't really have gotten very far in that process. ;) --[[User:BigDT|BigDT]] 04:43, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

== NMDA receptor antagonist ==

Lol, you didn't scare me off. I just don't know that much about neuroscience! Thank you for your help on these articles! Anyway, what got me started on working on a few of these pages is that I was doing research on different drugs like DXM and ketamine, and I noticed that these articles were just poorly written and poorly referenced. Having no formal instruction about neuroscience, I just decided to use PubMed to find a few abstracts of medical research on these drugs so that there could be some REAL information on these pages. Anyway, I'm very happy to contribute what I can to these sites, since I think Wikipedia is absolutely the ONLY place to get reliable, balanced information on psychoactive drugs. Thanks a lot for your help! [[User:Jolb|Jolb]] 05:13, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

== Thanks ==

Thanks for the assistance.

Could you possibly check what I posted at the requested articles page and see if I did it correctly? There should be some kind of standard form to fill out that would do it correctly or something.

Again Thanks!

== RFA ==

Hey Delldot,

After you and I discussed my possible RFA one day, I wanted to drop you a line again and talk about how I'm doing having now implemented the changes you suggested, lets see:

* I now to both RC patrol and New Pages patrol regularly, added AFD's, reverting vandalism, warning vandals, fixing dodgy edits, helping article out, etc.

* I have one official (though quiet) and one unofficial (and busy) adopted user.

* I contribute to the Village Pump sections, helping users and answering questions where I can.

* I have just begun involving myself with deletion debates.

* I've begun to seperate my talk page edit count from my article edit count, I have worked hard on a couple of recent articles (you can see on my user page) and I have recently topped 1000 article edits and 3000 overall edits.

However:

* Recently, I was asked to involve myself in a dispute between two users. One user was vandalising an article in the wikiproject I run ([[WP:LE]]) repeatedly by removing maintenance tags, and I warned him for this. He also attacked both myself and the other user involved more than once. I tried to remain impartial and handle it as best I could, but sometimes I worry about how close I may have come to violating [[WP:KETTLE]], and whether I was as impartial as I could have been, and the user I warned now has a passage on his user page deploring my actions.

I've stayed away from that though as he is entitle to his own opinion, though I believe I handled things correctly. I'm not planning to let past conflicts affect things, as the user has now joined [[WP:LE]], and i infact thanked him for some sharp legal concerns regarding the project logo, I'm just concerned that this might hamper a future RFA? [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 23:35, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

::: Oh yes, and my edit summary is 100% now, at least when im provided a box to put one in, thanks to that prompter, though my habit of double editing talk pages when I think of something else is still with me, lol! [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 23:36, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

If you look at [[User talk:Patchbook]], my talk page, as well as the talk page of [[Police patch collecting]] and the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Law Enforcement/Archive 2]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:WikiProject_Law_Enforcement/No_vandalism%2C_no_conflict&diff=99886594&oldid=99442534 this] removal of content by Patchbook, as well as the history of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Law Enforcement/No vandalism, no conflict|that page]], you should find most of the comments made by myself, patchbook and other involved users, which were [[User:Kintetsubuffalo]] and [[User:Ginkgo100]]. The whole thing weaved its way through those pages. I have to say I had the support of the other members of the project so I don't think I could have been to far in the wrong.

I also appreciate your comments regarding appearign to try too hard for an RFA, I'm just thinking of my option,s i hope it doesn't come across too much like you described. Cheers :) [[User:SGGH|SGGH]]

:::Regarding your comments re: the conflict. I agree with everything you say, and will certainly take your points to heart so I can handle any future problems better. Just to clarify, his issues with the article has already been expressed to another user when i arrived on the scene, as I had been contacted specifically becauce someone had been repeatedly removing the tags. And I tried to show him that helpful contributions would be welcome also, and specifically encouraged him when he joined the [[WP:LE]] after the incident had washed over, and also when he was investigating the legality of the logo (albeit I suggested to him that deleting the logo from the wikiprojects pages without any prior discussion wasn't the best way to go about things). Anywho, I appreciate that you think I handled things okay, and will fine tune my responses in future as per your suggestions. Cheers [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 22:43, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

:After thinking about your assessment of my handling of the situation, I left a small apology on Patchbook's page. While I know I didn't handle it badly, I felt it best to give him an apology as I could have handled it a little better. Cheers Delldot, [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 22:57, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Lol, cheers. Though it wasn't totally without profit, as I need him for the project, he knows alot :D [[User:SGGH|SGGH]] 23:01, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

==Feedback on RC Patrol Comment==

Thank you for taking notice in my work. I appreciate the bluntness in your feedback.

== Help? ==

Hi. It is Sean Wolfington. I wanted to ask you for your help regarding the page for the movie i made, Bella(film), There has been a sign on the page for a while saying that the article is like a press release. I did not start this article, nor did anyone involved in making the movie - i did add links to articles from legitamate sources like the Hollywood Reporter, ABC, FOX etc... Is it possible to remove this banner? Thank you again for all your help. By the way, the director of our film was honored by the Dept of Immigration at the White house for being a postive role model as an imigrant who became a US citizen. he was also invited by the first lady to attend the state of the union address as a result. There are a number of articles written about the award and the state of the union. For example, here is a USA TODAY article: http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2007-01-23-sotu-guests_x.htm?csp=34 and here is a NY Times article: http://www.nytimes.com/imagepages/2007/01/23/washington/24scene_graphic.html If you look at the graphic, he is number 12. I think it would be something good to add but i want to do it correctly. The stories have been published in many places. Do you have any suggestions?

Not to whack you upside the head too much, but if you list something at [[WP:SPLICE]] and also use {{tl|db-histmerge}} it helps us a lot if you remove your request from SPLICE once it's dealt with.

The article at [[Redhouse Yacht Club]] has been substantially improved. I'm not the original author, but saw it at AfD and thought it might have some merit. A few of us have reworked the article with independent references and removed a bunch of trivia taken from the Club's website. I beleive this now meets WP standards as a subject which is noticed nationally wihtin South Africa and to some extent internationally in specialty racing circles. I'd appreciate your feedback.

Thanks

Kevin

== FTE Day ==

Thanks, im pretty new to editing wikipedia, so i dont know what options there are, but any help you can offer, you think would help, would be great. Perhaps just casting a vote on the AFD page, or mentioning this article to any inclusionist admin or user you know...

Thanks for your support. I know FTE Day isn't the most important thing :), but it still seems like with a group of supporters and a mention on television, it deserves a little page on wikipedia, i mean, we arnt making encyclopidia brittanica here! -- [[User:QuintusMaximus|QuintusMaximus]] 18:14, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

:*Great, Thanks for your suggestions. I have been searching for some other references to this day online. And can cite now a quote from wikiquote and another page with quotes and videos of when it was first mentioned on television. I will try to find more. Hopefully the admin will look carfully at the page itself too, because a lot of the Delete comments are from before there were any references, and the page was tiny and badly written, or worse at least! -- [[User:QuintusMaximus|QuintusMaximus]] 18:34, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

== Sucralose talk page ==

Hi, sorry about that Sucralose talk page. I didn't mean to remove anything (not something I would ever do). I have this problem where my browser truncates the contents of a textbox after so many characters, and I always forget when editing a long article. Anyway, thanks for fixing it.

== Anti-vandalism tools ==

Hi, would you be so kind to advising me what tools you use to revert vandalism? Currently I have a number of articles in my watch list and its becoming a bit of a pain to keep on-top of the amount of vandalism directed towards those articles. I feel that I may be choosing the long method when I discover articles vandalized. I would first undo it if it’s the last edit that is considered vandalism, if not I would keep going back until I find a clean edit and revert back to it. Then I would send the culprit(s) a warning message from the list of vandalism pre-sets by a cut-and-paste to the individuals talk page. I find this a long an arduous process that takes some time to revert and send warning messages. Do you know of a simpler or single step tools that accommodates vandalism removal and to advise to individual of their actions. Thanks in advance to responding to my request. --[[User:HJKeats|HJKeats]] 18:46, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Sorry 'bout that. No real harm done, and it just wouldn't feel like Wikipedia without the occasional "humorous" edit.

Either way, no actual information changed in the article, so I hope you're not too angry.

:Thanks for the appology. No big hairy deal, but it would be appreciated if you only make constructive edits from now on, since [[WP:VAN|vandalism]] does take up people's time having to revert it. But if you do want to goof around, you can always use [[Wikipedia:sandbox|the sandbox]] or [[User:72.147.125.129|your own user page]].

what kind of vandalism?[[User:Rdsess|Rdsess]] 16:42, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

== Re: Vandalism patrol ==

I wrote these messages myself, they don't follow the "levels", which I don't see the need for anyway. There's a warning, and a final warning, and after that I report them to AIV.

If someone blanks a page and writes "Penis" three times, are they realistically going to stop if you issue a third warning, or would it be better to just report them and get them blocked as soon as possible? (It's a rhetorical question).

If I've warned someone before and they vandalise again, I leave them a final warning. If they still haven't figured it out by the time they've read that, then they're not going to contribute constructively. It's the administrator's call in the end, but by this stage they deserve to know. Remember that users often manage to vandalise two or three times between warnings.

And yes, those of you who seem to enjoy imposing petty rules ''are'' being too bossy. I just warned myself by mistake (the buttons are like right next to each other) and not only was it reverted, I got told to go and read the policies! Spend your time dealing with problem users, not picking at us. Thanks – [[User:Qxz|Qxz]] 20:08, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

==Another couple of questions==

Sorry to keep wasting your time, but you gave me a lot of help before and I hoped I could ask you how I'm doing, in terms of progress towards adminship. I did what you suggested in hanging around RfAs (I even voted on two of them this morning), and it still seems to me that although I've more-or-less met all the other requirements for adminship, the insurmountable difficulty is still my low editcount. Take a look at [[User:Grubber]]'s current RfA; despite being a great user, trustworthy, with good knowledge of policy, he's been opposed because he "only" has 2400 edits. I only have about 1400 at present, and I have no idea how I can bump up my editcount any faster; due to technical reasons I can't use VandalProof or anything else that has to be downloaded. Other than that, though, I think I'm doing well on everything else; I've got quite a good proportion of WPspace edits (mostly comments on AfDs) and, if it wasn't for the annoying phenomenon of speedy-delete-tags disappearing from the editcount once the pages are deleted, I'd have a significantly higher editcount. What do you think of this as a potential answer for the all-important Q1? (I've seen that this is where a lot of candidates fall down.)

*''What sysop chores do you anticipate helping with?''

*I would expect to participate in closing XfDs (on which I currently comment extensively); speedy-deleting articles; working on AIV and blocking vandals (as a [[WP:RCP|recent changes patroller]] I see a lot of vandalism); semiprotecting pages. Having access to the "rollback" button would also be useful in cases of repeated vandalism to the same page.

Although I'm not planning to go to RfA for another month (by which time I should have 1800-2000 edits), do you think the answer above would be OK? And do you think it's worth going to RfA at all, given some users' pedantic insistence on a high editcount? [[User:Walton monarchist89|Walton monarchist89]] 11:24, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

:OK, fair enough, I'll have to handle Q1 on my own. But it's difficult to be expected to "not worry about adminship"; however much all the policies state that it shouldn't be a goal, reward or status symbol, the fact is that when some users have powers and privileges that others do not have, those of us who are not admins are going to be jealous, and feel like second-class citizens. This isn't the fault of admins or the community; it's a fundamental human imperative. Your advice is helpful and fair, but I can't help the fact that I really, really want to get through RfA. I've really started taking Wikipedia more seriously in the last couple of months; I clocked up 646 edits in January and 94 on the first day of February alone, mostly vandalism patrol (I now scrupulously follow the policy of warning vandals on their talkpages, which should also look good at RfA) and commenting on XfDs. But as my editcount is a problem, I'll wait until I've achieved 2,500 to 3,000 edits. Looking more closely at RfAs, many of the candidates who fail due to low editcounts are also criticised for inadequate responses to q1 and for lack of system experience outside of vandal-fighting; since I've addressed these last two concerns, I think 2,500 edits should be enough to give me a good chance. Hopefully I should reach that level in late March-early April, so I'll self-nominate at that time. Once again, thanks for all your help.

==Anoka High School Add==

Confused why this add was declined. All other schools in the district are on here and only have sources to their school website. I sourced Anoka High School's official website as well. Why would a News source be as accurate? Plus St. Stephen's School was declined as well. I was trying to add to the school database that you guys already have up. I would appreciate it if you could look at them again and approve them. Thanks {{unsigned|71.9.36.48}}

Hi. i left a message on the Bella (film) talk page but i did not get any direct feedback on ideas to improve the page. The only response was someone saying they agree with the original claim that the article was advertising.

Hey, I noticed you accepted the request for [[Frank Sicoli]] at [[WP:AFC]]. Did you really create the article? I had previously declined the article because I thought it read too much like an advertisement, but the IP removed my declined templates. If the article has been created, I think it may need to be deleted under [[WP:CSD|CSD G11]] unless it gets a major rewrite. Can you reply on [[user talk:delldot|my talk page]]?
