ECOTM
Hello Doomsday. It seems like we have only 15 members and that we still have a lot to do on the American Rev. article. Maybe, until we get more members (maybe put a notice about COTM on the Ezperanza talk page), we should give a little longer time to the article, like a month and a half. Also, since we selected the draft, I don't think I've seen any collaboration at all. There are users from COTM who are making edits, but nothing is being discussed. editor review me!-TeckWizTalkContribs# of Edits 12:24, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

Re:loss
Hank you for the kind message, DoomsDay! I appreciate it. I'm doing okay, as I know (like WizardryDragon said) that she's out of her pain now. She was sick for a while, I am glad she is at rest.
I hope you're doing okay... I know the EA stuff was stressing you out (as it was us all) but I wanted to commend you for standing up for what you believe in. I most definitely admire your strength! :-)
Here you go!!
Hi DoomsDay, I wanna give you this barnstar as a thanks for helping me so many times! You've earned it! Here!

The future
To be perfectly honest, the chances are we won't cross paths again on any issue. I appreciate your desire to work civilly and I agree with everything you said and reciprocate your act of good will. I'm not sure how I'll interact with most people from EA now on. I'm going to try to keep my mouth shut, for both obvious and not so obvious reasons. I'm just ... upset and tired and frustrated now, with two of my friends gone and not answering emails and a third very upset, so I don't know if I'll be here in a month or not. Thank you for the gesture, and I hope you and the people at EA can enjoy Wikipedia and make things more productive for everyone. --ElaragirlTalk|Count 03:36, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

About User 68.82.82.248
Hi! Where and how can you report someone? User 68.82.82.248 got numerous vandalism warnings but he keeps on vandalising pages. He keeps on deleting Madonna's AKA on her article. All the other editors have no problem with it, I have an official source and it's pertinent information. He also deleted other things on Madonna's page. He deleted the word trendsetter and someone -Fritte- had to put it again. Just log on his User:Talk page to see all the warnings he's still getting. He got some [once again] today!

Why are you so interested in statrting affairs and keeping on fueling them by arguing with every one every where. You need to be less concerened about arguing with others and doing things that can help improve Wikipedia.

Not you, DoomsDay. I was talking to Why1991.
I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand. You're saying the MFD is an article about me? DoomsDay349 03:00, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
No no no, DoomsDay. That was meant for Why1991. Don't get me wrong here. Pardon me, but your comments didn't show up while I was editing. -- Altiris Exeunt 03:08, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Esperanza
I know. :) Any RfA I have next year will be a nightmare... Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:14, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
- I continue to maintain that Esperanza should have been completely wiped from this Earth, but Mailer's solution is a fair one - Esperanzans (though I cannot call them that much longer) get their programs, and all the really bad aspects have been salted so that anyone who thinks that giving over their right to decide to an elected council is a great idea will never be allowed credence on this Wikipedia again. I thank you for all your support through this, and hope we meet again in more auspicious circumstances. I will bear in mind your offer, and if you ever need me for anything, I'm only a click away. Just ask! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:08, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

No need for the AfD, this article has been recreated many times. Just let speedy handle it. John Reaves 23:55, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Esperanza
Well, there was a reason I wanted deletion, despite what Carcharoth says. I think Ed just wants to keep the path open for it to come back, which is annoying for all of us who has to guard it. *Sigh* Oh, well, back to regular work... Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Basically, after the deletion went through, a whole bunch of people started agitating for the restoration of pages. It went back and forth with the comments getting more and more acerbic until Carcharoth lost his temper and suggested a cooling off period on the MfD talkpage. Ed seems to have taken this as law and is insisting on putting it on the main template as it means something more than one person's suggestion. Which doesn't, but if it'll give me a month off from this protracted nonsense, I'll put up with it. Anything else you haven't caught up on? :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:46, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Asking Jimbo for his thoughts on the ongoing squabbles over Esperanza's deletion might be a good idea. It might serve to give us all some clarity on the situation, like he did over the Brian Peppers debacle. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Well, I suggested asking for a comment rather than a binding decision, but that's alright. A case of wait and see now, I guess. I'm going to bed. Night! Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 01:04, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

RE:Saw your message to Rey
Well, I added a link back in November or December where a very popular Podcast site Dragons Landing talked about the Nexus being the best place to find anything DL related. Here is the link. [1]. In the episode summary, they talk about it a bit, but you have to listen to it, it is at 13:35 roughly. Would that qualify? They have nothing to do with the Nexus, or the development of the site.--Kranar drogin 22:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
- Ok, I added in the points with some info for the Dragonlance Nexus. Should I have created links to all the author contributions at the bottom of the page?--Kranar drogin 23:03, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: Question for you
Hey there. Hmm... a tricky one... I guess it "may" be a promotional image, but I am not sure. Note that images of living persons are lately deleted because they can be "replaced" with free images. Try {{promophoto}}. However, again, the image may be deleted in the near future. -- ReyBrujo 04:14, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
Re: Nother Question
Actually, there is no problem with scanning the image yourself, or from using the image from another source other than the Wizards site. However, try not to upload high resolutions ones, instead upload a 400 or 500 pixel one, never over 800 which makes it qualify, in certain contexts, as high resolution. -- ReyBrujo 23:52, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
- You need the image in your hard disk. If it is in internet, you need to download it and then browse to it. If you have it inside a Word document, you need to export it as a common image (not sure how to do that, I do not use Word). -- ReyBrujo 00:41, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- There is no need for one, but thank you anyways :-) I see you are receiving some too, good to see you are doing things right around ;-) Good luck! -- ReyBrujo 01:34, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

I've replied to your question at Talk:Main Page. If you have any further questions about Wikipedia, don't hesitate to ask them at my Talk page or the help desk.

Re: Editor review
Yes, I noticed it. However, I am a wikignome who does things only because he like doing so. Right now, I don't feel like doing reviews again, so I am taking a break. Lately, I have been uploading free images at Wikimedia Commons, and I think I will continue doing so for the near future. Maybe in the future I will return doing them, but right now, reviewing feels like a burden and not something pleasant. -- ReyBrujo 19:22, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Reply
Sorry, I was offline for a while. In reply to "how can I back down" question, I'd answer that you should quietly be backing out of it. Ignore any questions the opposing side asks you, gently point out flaws, and try to withdraw as much as you can. If that is impossible, just let the DRV take its course. Cheers. Yuser31415 20:43, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- You'll make a good admin, but I'd wait at least a month yet because otherwise everyone is likely to oppose you "Oppose - comments on Esperanza MfD were not helpful" or something ridiculous like that Template:Emot. Yuser31415 20:47, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
Exsperanza
I know how you're feeling right now, and you have my sympathy. The best way to deal with it is to go do something else on Wikipedia, go find a good article to improve or join a WikiProject. Take a step back and don't get so personally affronted by the intense stupidity of some people. Yes, I suspect you would fail an RfA right now, but that's because your comments on the DRV show you don't have a level head in heated situations; whether being on the robotic heartless side when it comes to Esperanza is a hindrance to an RfA, I don't know, and we'll find out next week when I am nominated. Try and stay calm, don't put messages like "If you believe you have a rat's chance in hell at overturning the MFD consensus" on talkpages. Remember, we're vocal, but we're the rearguard of a consensus of a much larger number of editors - there's a hundred of us, and about 6 of them. They're naive, idealistic users (and Geo and why1991 have already got into trouble for other unEA related things) and all we need to do is just keep an eye on them to stop any new weird ideas they get in their tracks (which is, of course, exactly what we're doing). We can't do more than that, so just try to move on: it's not our fault that they can't. :) Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:05, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah, I should be nominated next week sometime. Glad I can count on one vote! :)
- Regarding you, I would be happy to vote for you, but I just checked your last 1000 contribs and while you have a good solid editing background, you seem a little weak on policy. You might want to contribute to some policy proposals and consensus building discussions. All you have in that direction atm is Esperanza's overhaul, and that's a touchy subject for a lot of people. Just a thought. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Try Category:Wikipedia proposals and WP:CENT. It's not to just "hit all the bases", but checking some of the discussions going on might be beneficial to you in giving you a greater understanding of consensus. Also, many of your deletion nominations don't refer to any policies. You might want to work on that, possibly by voting on a few more *fDs. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:32, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yep, I get that. And your recent noms have all been in MfD, which is less policy driven. Nice comments on your editor review, congrats. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 22:44, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

WP:HOPE
In the DRV I was clearly saying that the history of Esp should be restored so everybody can view the complete history of it. I am slightly confused because If I recall back in the ole days of esperanza you were a keen member of Esp especially the coffee lounge (Wikiplomacy anyone?). So why did you change your position come deletion?
Why are you citing template {{[[User:Feureau/UserBox/EsperanzaReturns]]}}<nowiki> for deleation. It is in user space and it is just an opinion. Shouldn't people entitled to their opinion. What about your own template <nowiki>{{User_DGAF}} thats your opinion and ill respect that so respect the opinions of your fellow wikipedians. -- DoomsDay349 03:38, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Noting your comment on Dev920's talkpage that you were hoping for more feedback at your editor review I have contributed my thoughts. They've ended up being rather lengthy- hope you don't mind and find them helpful. Hope you come to feel less frustrated with things, WJBscribe (WJB talk) 06:35, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
OK profanity!
Finally. Tell me about it man; Post-Esperanza and Pre-Esperanza has been shitting me off more than anything really. One of those many Wikipedia squabbles that can only be resolved by waiting a month or using every template and referencing every guideline that exists. I think I've had the same attitude the day I saw an article go up and down tree times, become protected and two users blocked in one day. I realized that Wikipedia is not paper, it comes and goes. To force it to do either by yourself is utterly pointless.
Take it slow mate, and the FUCK ing essay is up for deletion. Cheers, Dfrg.msc 1 . 2 . Editor Review 07:42, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Re: "No lowercase on talk pages!", eh?
Yes, I noticed he "left". Sometimes, Wikipedians get bored and just leave. When they do so much fuzz, you can trust they will come back. It is a kind of protest, and you will see it around very often. I am personally responsible of four or five people leaving Wikipedia "forever". I am sure the ones who nominated Esperanza for deletion are responsible of having many Wikipedians leave too ;-) -- ReyBrujo 03:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

I do agree. A decision regardless of what some think has been reached and we have to move on. I can fully understand your change in heart about esp. In theory It was great but practically, It couldn't stay true to its values. I agree that decisions reached by the community have to be respected.

Professional reviews are greatly preferred to fan reviews; the problem with the latter is that we don't know wrote them. For instance, I could easily write a review and publish it on an external website, and then cite that review in Wikipedia. It's hard to articulate what I found confusing about the synopsis of the plot, but I just found it difficult to follow. There are a lot of characters with odd names, along with the different Ages and places and goddesses (and so on), and it gets hard to remember who is who. This might just be me, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. Trebor 22:27, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- If you can be certain no professional (or at least published) reviews exist, then no it shouldn't hurt anything; you can't write from sources which do not exist. But although I can't judge the prominence of this book, it seems fairly unlikely that there are no reviews, even if there are none online. Trebor 22:31, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- WP:RS is our less-than-perfect set of guidelines about what qualifies as "reliable". Trebor 22:41, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
- Um, I'm not sure. You might have trouble with the "comprehensive" part if you don't. I wouldn't worry about it too much though. Trebor 22:52, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

This should so be a policy on Wikipedia. It would solve so many problems and make life so much easier. We could make templates! "Stop. Your recent edits to Article have been reverted, since it appears you are caught up in the wikidrama. Please adhere to our policy of not giving a flying fuck and stop being a tool. Thank you."

A tad too late ;-) The request should be closed soon, and it is clear the article will be deleted. You will find discussions like these everywhere.

about Flameviper's block
Hi there, I stumbled upon your question because Elaragirl's page is on my watchlist. This long discussion at WP:AN discusses the events that led to Flameviper's indefinite block. It's too bad, because I did think, prior to recent events, that he had truly reformed from his former vandalistic ways. To his credit, no matter how disruptive he may have been, he seems to have been the person who first created WP:ADOPT, as far as I can tell. --Kyoko 22:52, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for passing this! Do you think this article has FA written all over it? Real96 02:07, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for upgrading the article to Good Article status!-Hal Raglan 04:18, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
Chicago Spire GA Status
Hey DoomsDay! I wanted to thank you for nominating the article to GA status. Just a quick question though. You said it might be a good idea to get a peer review to "flesh out more problems." The article has actually just been peer reviewed, and I was wondering if you had specific problems you noticed? If it was just a general comment, nevermind. I am just always eager to hear if there is something I can improve... Thanks again! Chupper 01:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
Hello you failed this article because "every statement needs a source", Every statement is sourced. I use a reference to cover the entire paragraph, instead of using five of the same sources to cover statements in one paragraph, i hope that clears it up M3tal H3ad 04:59, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
- Jeff Hanneman also needs another look, an article you placed on GA hold. LuciferMorgan 22:59, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
- Added more sources for both. M3tal H3ad 10:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
Hm?
I don't understand why you don't under... oh never mind.
In Wikipedia, blocks of text need to be readable, and be split up into different sections, very frequently. For some reason, the human mind does not feel any desire to read large blocks of text on the computer, especially on white backgrounds such as Wikipedia. Your GA article did not meet the criteria, therefore did not reach GA status. The main problem is the headings, however you may want to check your sentence structure to make your article more readable. Your article is just a little off 'on hold'. Auroranorth 20 February 2007.

I love reading your talk pages and stuff espesaly the p.o.ed onesGuyDoe 03:01, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
You placed this article on GA hold exactly 7 days (the limit), so I'm wondering if you can now take another look at the article and ultimately reach a decision as to either list the article as GA or fail it? All the specific points that you said need to be addressed have now been addressed. Thanks for your time. LuciferMorgan 22:13, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
- I'm sorry but I can't pass it due to conflict of interest. The article is part of Wikiproject Slayer, which I'm one of the main members of. I've placed a message on the Good articles talk page asking for it to be reviewed though, so thanks for your time. LuciferMorgan 23:07, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
Reviewing articles
I was wondering DoomsDay, if you would be able to review a couple articles for the Illinois Wiki project that have been put up for Good article review. University of Illinois Observatory and DeKalb County Courthouse (Illinois) are both up for review, if you don't have the time or desire, you don't have to do it. Just figured I would ask since it seems you do reviews a lot.--Kranar drogin 23:00, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
- I appreciate the assistance man, we have a lot of articles that need to be reviewed, would you mind if I send them your way? They are going to be mainly historical right now, but we are working on revamping Springfield, Illinois.--Kranar drogin 03:14, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- I have another one here Joseph F. Glidden House that is up for good article review.--Kranar drogin 14:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- This one on the Oregon Commercial Historic District might be up for a "B" rating. Thoughts?--Kranar drogin 14:55, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
- I have another one here Joseph F. Glidden House that is up for good article review.--Kranar drogin 14:01, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Any luck getting to these? WE have also begun a Wikipedia:Peer review/Springfield, Illinois for Springfield, Illinois.--Kranar drogin 00:19, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

D-day i have decided to help review GAs with you I just need some help in the tecnical stuff like the templets and whatnot.GuyDoe 14:08, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
Keeping Stubs
I felt it was appropriate to go into a bit more detail about why stubs should be kept, especially when they're in reasonably good condition for the start of an article. First, it doesn't do any harm to leave them. They aren't spreading misinformation, they aren't causing any great burden of resources, they're just waiting for an opportunity. The hope with Wikipedia is that whatever the subject, eventually somebody will be inspired to act. And IMO, having a fair start to the article may encourage people to do a better job than if there was no content whatsoever.
In the case of these Dragonlance modules though, what I would have done was proposed a merge for the whole series, which as a combined group would easily be notable, and would probably be a better start for these pages. I could go with covering all 1st edition DL modules (maybe 2nd too) on one page even, but I just don't see the case for deletion you made being valid. Mister.Manticore 00:36, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Yeah, I'm fine with a merge/redirect to that page, though I don't think it's ideal, it'll do for now. And while Stubs are a concern, the solution to them is not always deletion. I would actually say deletion is a tool only to be used when some information is worse than none. Mister.Manticore 02:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Oh, and BTW, take a look at Dragons of War, obviously not the right link, I thought about fixing it, but I didn't want to edit the page till I knew what the decision was going to be. Not sure if it should be redlinked to Dragons of War (Dragonlance) or what though. Mister.Manticore 02:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Well, I don't care much what is done, but I do think linking to Dragons of War is wrong right now. Either a red link like the rest of the modules, or no link at all would be better, though if you choose the latter a comment telling folks why there's no link might be a good idea. If you don't want to do it yourself, then I'll do something. Mister.Manticore 03:42, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, DoomsDay
I haven't spoken to you much after the whol Esperanza-thing, so I was wonderin' how're you doin'?--SUIT양복 05:44, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
