#scripture Article Deletion
The following deletions to the Scripture-channel article are considered vandalism
- Bullsh*t. There is no such guideline. Any article is available for editing at any time. An article liste don AfD has no protection against editing. User:Zoe|(talk) 01:34, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
By that logic, I can delete 80% of your favorite article, and re-delete it every time you restore it, and it is not vandalism, since under Zoe Rules I don't have to wait 5 days for the community to arbitrate my designation of your article as "vanity". Endomion 02:11, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
I think you're missing the point of Wikipedia and specifically the Articles for Deletion process. When it comes down to it, the article at #scripture-channel can be edited at any time, and accusing others of vandalism for what is Wikipedia precedent (especially precedent like a vanity list) is not in the spirit of WikiLove. You need to assume good faith. RasputinAXP talk * contribs 05:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
I am perfectly willing to accept the good faith judgment of other Wikipedians that #scripture-channel is not a notable or encyclopedic article and should be removed. But the next time I see a banner that says someone's article is being considered for deletion and should not be "blanked," I will interpret that to mean at least one ASCII character must remain in the original article after it is "edited", because the WikiLove message I've gotten this week is that "AfD status does not preclude editing". Endomion 05:22, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
You have it right on the head, there. AfD status does not preclude editing. There have been many articles listed on AfD that were later voted to keep because of judicious editing, including removal of a large portion of the article. If you agree that the content is not notable, and that the article is unencyclopediac, then why are you fighting so hard for it? You're taking deletion of an article that you yourself plainly stated as an attempt to create a webpage for the channel as some sort of character assassination. Spend more time getting to know the other side of Wikipedia and I'm sure you'll get a better perspective on how it all works. RasputinAXP talk * contribs 13:09, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Interesting example of recursion. Zoe has vandalized my vandalism report. I'm sure that must be frowned upon here.
01:48, 9 November 2005 (hist) (diff) Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress (→IP Moderate - deleting inappropriate listing)
- You're failing to see the issue: what was done is not vandalism, and as such your accusation of vandalism was being made in bad faith. RasputinAXP t * c 20:16, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Yes, now I am operating from bad faith. I don't even care what happens to the #scripture article now. I see that I can't even make my objections heard to be judged on because they are deleted five minutes after I make them. This will color forever how I see Wikipedia. A vandal doesn't get to decide whether or not her own vandalism is vandalism.
Endomion 20:40, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
- No, you operated from bad faith by calling editing vandalism because you disagreed with it. If you're this upset over it and you feel you can't work it out, take it to ArbCom. RasputinAXP T C 21:01, 9 November 2005 (UTC)
Only if the situation escalates will I seek escalated remedies. Anything else would be a sign of bad faith. No further discussion on this topic will be accepted.

Thanks for suggestion
re:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Promises of troop withdraw by American presidents throughout history Thanks for suggestion! What a great idea. I will put on Election_promise. Damn good idea!Travb 07:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Since you are listed as a Roman Catholic, I figured I'd send you this. Wikipedia:Catholic Alliance of wikipedia has been nominated for Deletion. Please vote and/or tell other people to vote to keep this organization on wikipedia. --Shanedidona 01:39, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- Delete - I'm Catholic and pro-life but this should be under the Meta-Wiki system. Endomion 02:18, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment, from what I can see of your user page you hardly qualify as a devout catholic. Chooserr 19:30, 26 December 2005 (UTC)
Please reconsider your call to merge this article. Another editor nominated it for deletion before the first draft was half written. It still isn't half written. I just have to save frequently because my computer is prone to freeze. Wikipedia has recognized three of my recent new articles on "Did you know...?" Durova 02:08, 25 December 2005 (UTC)
- My only hassle with the article, Durova, is the long name -- no one would type that into the search box to find it. Here is my reasoning: There is an article titled The Eleventh Commandment but not one titled Thou shalt not speak ill of any fellow Republican Endomion 02:13, 25 December 2005 (UTC)

Removal of lesbian/lipstick lesbian templates from your page
I suspect this is due to the recent personal attacks by some very bigoted people implying you "can't be a real christian" because you're a lesbian.. It's sad that you feel you have to hide it because of a few nasty trolls. --Mistress Selina Kyle (Α⇔Ω ¦ ⇒✉) 14:43, 14 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you wrote the stub for Zeism - please add the sources you used. Thanks! KillerChihuahua?!? 21:09, 14 January 2006 (UTC)
- Thanks much! I don't know if you noticed, but I added the stub cat of Nutrition and Dietetics - if that's not the best cat please feel free to change it, but that's where all the other nutrition and diet related disease and such are categorized. KillerChihuahua?!? 02:48, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

Nomination
Thank you for nominating me to be an administrator! Unfortunately, I have raised some eyebrows by trying to bring a more neutral voice to the Intelligent design article. Some of these folks are administrators, and as you can see from their ability to round up votes in packs my nomination would be rejected in about five minutes. So it is with gratitude but with sorrow that I must decline. Ruby 04:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
- That is a shame, but I understand and will delete the nomination page. Perhaps one day they will be more willing to accept you. Until then, happy editing. --King of All the Franks 04:51, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
AFD
Apologies if my comments directed towards you in today's AFD sounded confrontational; I did not intend that, but rereading them I can see that they might have sounded that way. Thanks, —Matthew Brown (T:C) 03:59, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- No problem, I'm coming off a particularly nasty edit war situation, so my threshold is very high on what is confrontational. Ruby 04:03, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
- Wholly understood, and thanks. I'm coming off an 18-hour work day, which probably suggests I should be trying to sleep rather than Wikipedia ... but there you go. —Matthew Brown (T:C) 04:19, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
AfD- Theron Pummer
I'm looking for more experienced Wikipedians to help me out with the question of whether this article is worthy or not, since I've not been around very long. As I say on the AfD page, this guy's work seems rather solid (the area he writes in is of particular interest to me), but I can see how an undergraduate's work/thoughts, no matter how worthy, might still not be notable. My question- Would you say, generally, that high-quality work in an esoteric academic area is worthy of inclusion on WP? Thanks for your help. KrazyCaley 03:08, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- The guidelines say that some professors may be notable if they make important contributions to their field. Certainly students are not notable, and if they win accolades it should redound to the credit of their professor. Ruby 03:15, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Your integrity
Ruby, I just wanted you to know that your comments on my talk page are very distasteful. You've never met me and the first words from your mouth are personal attacks. Furthermore, you say you are a Christian and you publicly rebuke me because of nothing more than a hunch and an assumption. What happened to assuming good faith? What happened to following the biblical requirement of approaching a brother in Christ in private? It seems that you don't know the first thing about Christianity. Furthermore, changing your vote from Delete to Keep based on your hunch doesn't indicate a high level of integrity or a true desire to make Wikipedia a better place. --Jason Gastrich 04:59, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- "Okay now you're talking Jason. More like this one, please." *smile* Did we just get off on the wrong foot? --Jason Gastrich 05:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- If you recall, I really didn't like the nomination of Chuck Missler for AfD yesterday, I'm Catholic and even I know who he is. Ruby 05:49, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
- Ruby, don't worry about contacting Jason privately, he will ignore any attempt you make to contact him and than tell people that you are "attacking" him and persecuting him for his beliefs. If you disagree with his particular brand of Fundy Christianity he will label you an atheist. He's even gone as far as calling my church and left messages for my dad/pastor on the church answering machine. There is no good faith to assume with Jason Gastrich. He is intelligent enough to know what he is doing and he is also intelligent enough to know that it is wrong. Icj tlc 19:42, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well the first time I even knew there was a Jason Gastrich was when he did those 14 AfDs in a row, and my attitude has been to use a carrot rather than a stick, but you are right, he does know better, so I did sign the part of the RfC that says this is his last chance.

Afd for bands
It's not your imagination about all the Afd's for bands. I've gotten sick of all the nonsense and I'm hunting down all the junky band articles I can find. Someone had to do it! :) —Wknight94 (talk) 02:07, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Well there's been a change of rules and you can speedily delete bands just by putting a {{nn-band}} tag in there, and it will save us a lot a work. Ruby 02:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I know. And every time I try it, someone objects and I end up in Afd anyway. (Even more annoying is the one that objects to the speedy doesn't even vote on the Afd). —Wknight94 (talk) 02:20, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Okay, I'll try to speedy a few but even admin's reject me saying that the article asserts notability. I'll see if I have better luck tonight... —Wknight94 (talk) 02:24, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- This is a good example of the resistance I meet trying to use nn-band. There's always someone that will lay down in traffic to save one of these dumb band articles. —Wknight94 (talk) 03:00, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Maybe there should be a WikiGroove project where all the bands can go, and they can be as small as they want to be. Ruby 03:12, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hey, sorry to bother you again but where is that new rule listed where bands can be speedily deleted for not meeting WP:BAND? I know I've seen it but now I can't find it. Thanks. —Wknight94 (talk) 18:33, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

Hi. I'm not sure why it started in the first place, but judging from what you write, our position in general is quite similar. Maybe my English isn't that great. Regardless, I'm on your side on that matter. --Chodorkovskiy 08:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
