As I saw it, Taylor had made no appearances in top league play and still didn't satisfy [[WP:ATHLETE]]. If I mis-read the article, though, I'll be happy to restore it (to its proper capitalization, no less).

: Phil, I saw that the article (which was a redirect only) for Felgercarb was changed into a VERY brief article. I figured that you would wish it reverted, and I would agree, but I also didn't feel it my place to do so instead leaving that to more Wiki-experienced people like yourself. I would absolutely agree that Felgercarb needs not its own page, especially what is there now. Perhaps one of these days (though I doubt SciFi will ever use it simply cause it sounds just plain silly).

Phil, since you closely monitor the [[Darth Vader]] article, I thought I would let you know of a possible controversial addition I've made to it. I've added information from [[The Star Wars Holiday Special]] to the Vader article, as it gives useful information as to how Vader searched for the rebels, following the destruction of the death star. Also, the info I've added seems to fit quite nicely with the flow of the article. It might need a little rewording, however. [[User:The Wookieepedian|The Wookieepedian]] 18:25, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

==MfD nomination of [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not/Outtakes]]==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:Vadersketch.jpg]]'''. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the [[copyright]] status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, ie in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

== Nomination of [[Calling shotgun]] for deletion ==

<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|42px|alt=|link=]]</div>A discussion is taking place as to whether the article '''[[Calling shotgun]]''' is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to [[Wikipedia:List of policies and guidelines|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]] or whether it should be [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deleted]].

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use <nowiki>{{gfdl}}</nowiki> to release it under the [[GFDL]]. If you can claim [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] use <nowiki>{{fairuse}}</nowiki>.) See [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

The article will be discussed at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Calling shotgun]] until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Thanks so much.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. [[User:Reaper Eternal|Reaper Eternal]] ([[User talk:Reaper Eternal|talk]]) 19:31, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

== Template ==

== [[WP:ACE2015|ArbCom elections are now open!]] ==

What exactly is, and how do you set up a "fork" template? [[User:The Wookieepedian|The Wookieepedian]] 19:37, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Hi,<br>

:Check the talk page. Essentially, your idea for what you want that template for is a little different than what we might want to call "the EU template". It therefore makes little sense to have your template under the title of "Expanded Universe". There's a redlink on the talk page--if you follow it, copy the source for the EU template into it, and change the heading and contents of that template toward what you're trying to do, we'll now have an alternative template with the intended purpose you have in mind. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 19:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

== Re "suicide pact / internet suicide" issue ==

Hi Phil. Concerning my addition of the "internet suicide" note beside the [[suicide pact]] link on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Suicide Template:Suicide] page, this is the explanation previously provided to (and accepted by) Nickptar:

''Hi "N": I recently expanded the stub titled suicide pact and it now includes a lot of information about recent internet-related suicide pacts. Since there isn't a separate article or stub on internet-related suicide pacts, I was trying to introduce a little "sign post" that might lead someone looking for information about it to the right place. It's a "hot topic" right now, I myself was looking for info on the subject, and that's how I ended up writing the article myself. If there were room beside the suicide pact link, I would have added "including internet suicide pacts". But due to the lack of space, I just added "internet suicide". But the article itself is not limited to internet suicide pacts, and I don't think anyone would think it was based on what I added. Hope that makes sense. If not, please reply further.... Best, VR.''

If you read my [[suicide pact]] article, you will see that it is difficult to treat "traditional" suicide pacts and "internet-related" pacts entirely separately (i.e. to make "internet suicide" a completely separate page, as suggested elsewhere). However, it if is not Wiki-kosher to have a non-linked "note" beside the [[suicide pact]] link, then I guess the only solution would be to combine the two into one link, as you have done. However, shouldn't the [[suicide pact]] article title then be changed as well to read "Suicide Pact / Internet Suicide" ? If you agree, could you tell me how to do that?

Thanks, look forward to your response. --[[User:Victoria|Victoria]] 00:11, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, that's fine. It's just more clear combining the two into one link. If you want to start a discussion at [[Talk:Suicide pact]] about this I'd be glad to contribute. I'm just busy recently, but after a couple other things are settled, I'd love to try and address these issues :) — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 00:17, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, so how do I go about changing the title of the [[suicide pact]] article title to "Suicide Pact/Internet Suicide" ? Thanks... --[[User:Victoria|Victoria]] 00:26, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

:Um...I wouldn't recommend that, that's somewhat against our article titling guidelines. But [[Internet suicide]] could be a redirect to [[Suicide pact]]. In fact, I'm gonna set that up right now :) — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 00:26, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

::Nevermind, I've been beat to it. Let me think of something else to do. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 00:27, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

OK, I've forked the article, creating a separate [[internet suicide]] article that [[suicide pact]] links to. That should address most of your concerns. It's alright on Wikipedia to have separate articles about closely related issues, as long as there's a good reason to separate the articles, and in this case I think there is. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 00:32, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

I strongly disagree with your decision to separate the subjects, as they are totally interelated. I really regret having introduced the "internet suicide" note on the template now, if this is what it has led to. I feel you've butchered my original article, so that the two artificially "created" articles now make no sense as separate entitites. Will you PLEASE let me put the article back together as it was? --[[User:Victoria|Victoria]] 05:38, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

:They make plenty of sense as separate entities. [[Suicide pact]] is about suicide pacts in general, [[Internet suicide]] is about suicide pacts over the internet in particular. It's perfectly normal on Wikipedia to have separate articles about interrelated subjects, or even to have one article about something and another article about a specific type of something. If it's a big deal to you bring it up with [[User:Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters]], since he's involved too. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 06:04, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

==My RfB and your opinion therein==

{{User|Raul654}} is already a bureaucrat and a long-term member of ArbCom. He and I also frequently disagree. I don't think there's any real risk of having bureaucrats on ArbCom leading to a "cabal", at least not anymore than there is already. [[User:Kelly Martin|Kelly Martin]] ([[User talk:Kelly Martin|talk]]) 05:03, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

:I don't think so either, but my oppose vote isn't about current personalities in the here and now. It's about laying down a solid foundation for a project that very well may continue years after everyone here is dead. And in my view, that solid foundation includes separation-of-powers principles. Wikipedia's importance may grow beyond that of almost any other organization, project, or national government, and once we're that important, these sort of principles will be crucial. A cabal on Wikipedia today means slight problems. A cabal on Wikipedia 20-50 years from now may very well mean that a chosen few get to decide for all of humanity what the sum of human knowledge will consist of. That's a staggering amount of power, and my oppose vote is meant to prevent that amount of power ever falling into the hands of a cabal. It has nothing to do with you, Raul654, or any other Wikipedian. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 05:09, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

==You're Welcome==

I'm very selective about whom I vote for, therefore I rarely vote. However, when I spot a Wikipedian whom I believe is devoted and dedicated to the project plus, has the potential of becoming a great Admin. then I'm there to give him or her my full support. If I can ever be of any help, please do not hesitate to get in touch with me. [[User:Marine 69-71|Tony the Marine]] 02:29, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

The images related to that deleted page were *not* previously deleted. You need to list them separately on [[WP:IFD]]—they are not candidates for speedy deletion. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 04:05, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

: Hi Phil, thanks for correcting my blunder, I'll tag the images with IFD now. -- [[User:Ze miguel|Ze miguel]] 07:56, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

==Notability of royalty==

I have [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Benjamin_George_Lascelles|nominated Benjamin_George_Lascelles for deletion]]. You removed the nn-bio tag on the article I had originally placed on it, so I suspect that you might like to contribute to the discussion. [[User:Jkelly|Jkelly]] 18:47, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

:OK. I think notability in this case is questionable, but he's *definitely* not a CSD. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 21:01, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

The author/infringer is throwing a fit. Please respond (if you wish) on [[Talk:Ciudad del Saber]]. Thanks. --[[User:Nlu|Nlu]] 01:18, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

== [[Template:Exploding animals]], human-style ==

This has already been fought over (with myself as the advocate for putting [[spontaneous human combustion]] (as [[human]]) into the template). The basic crux for the decision to keep it out is that combustion, literally, means BURNING, not EXPLODING. Big difference. I've taken the liberty of reverting your edits--if you feel strongly enough about this, feel free to talk about it at the template talk page, but don't put your edits back before reaching a consensus in your favor first, please.

I had checked the talk page for [[Nelena Cain]] and found that it was agreed that the original spelling of Nelena was incorrect, and that it should be Helena. Furthermore, seeing as how [[Nelena Cain]] redirects to [[Helena Cain]], I figured Helena was the correct spelling. --[[User:Arabani|Arabani]] 05:30, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

:What talk page? — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 06:44, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

== Ciudad del Saber ==

OK. A last try.

You just posted this yesterday.

I'm confused. I had already rewritten my story and made it much more condensed and still it was removed. Yes, I can write a stub later next week but first, I want to make sure I can even touch that page again.

[[User:Scott ingels|Scott ingels]] 16:53, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, although you want to avoid copying or paraphrasing existing material, please feel free to write it yourself. — '''[[User:Philwelch|Phil]]''' ''[[User_talk:Philwelch|Welch]]'' 22:39, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

Also, feel free to write an article about it yourself instead of just copying over copyrighted material. Check out Wikipedia:The perfect stub article to find out how to write a "stub", which is the first stage of a Wikipedia article. If you can get authorization go ahead and post the copyrighted material, but even without it I'm sure we can develop a good article about this topic. Thanks! — Phil Welch 04:43, 12 November 2005 (UTC)
