Hi! Thank you very much for the apology! I accept your apology. When I was younger I made mistakes too. We all do that when we start out. Anyway, happy new year!
Please do not spam my page again and next time please use your brain so then maybe you can tell a comment from vandalism Totalaero (talk) 05:41, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
Hello Evilgohan2. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hamster style, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7 doesn't apply to deejaying methods. Thank you. — Malik ShabazzTalk/Stalk06:25, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
Fair enough. I DJ myself; it just looked to me to be something that would be better suited to the Wikitionary, especially due to it's lack of sources (which may be a situation where WP:IAR comes into play due to the inherent original research required). ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ②06:38, 15 January 2011 (UTC)
One should never post on what someone's alignment is. It's impossible to ask every single person what their opinion on a specific performer is. Doing such is inherently based on a person's perspective - no matter how you draw the line - and is inevitably going to be a POV edit. In this case, as the saying loosely goes, one person's villain ("Let's Go Cena!") is another person's hero ("Cena Sucks!"). It might also be considered as Fancruft.

I'm not sure what your asking. Are you asking if I apply that to other articles or just this one? If that is the case, I apply it to all I see. I'm not omniscient so I can only edit the ones I come across. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ②13:40, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I am not edit warring. I am just improving the article with fresh information. The guy is reverting a real fact everytime I post it without a reason. If it is a "edit war" why not advert the other guy too? Am I "warring" with myself? And I am not using Lordsofpain as a source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.30.150 (talk) 06:32, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
The notification was generally directed. They should be well versed in what constitutes WP:3RR - especially NiciVampireHeart who it appears did not carry on with reverts and is not in violation of it. Now when reverting what appears to be vandalism, Dcheagle looks to have gotten overzealous in the matter and is potentially in violation of the 3RR rule, but likewise, you are too. I did issue him fair warning of such as well but he has not responded to such. As for Lordsofpain, that appeared to be the initial source used and was what I made a note for. With regards to the sources used, they are honestly dubious at best and subject to being challenged. I'd suggest finding a reliable sourceto cite as to avert any potential issues at all. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ②06:47, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
The problem with the "reliable sources" thing is that all websites in the list do not care about FCW anymore. So it is difficult to find a source of FCW results that is accepted by anyone. Dcheagle knows it because we are discussing it here. But he in fact preffers do this kind of thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 187.15.30.150 (talk) 06:59, 7 February 2011 (UTC)
Wikimania 2012 bid, DC chapter & next meetup!
At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.
To discuss all this and meet up with special guest, Dutch Wikipedian User:Kim Bruning, there will be a meetup, Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 16 this Tuesday at 7pm, at Capitol City Brewery, Metro Center. There will be a pre-meetup Wikimania team meeting at 6pm at the same location.
Apologies for the short notice for this meetup, but let's discuss when, where & what for DC Meetup #17. Also, if you haven't yet, please join wikimedia-dc mailing list to stay informed. Cheers, User:Aude (talk)
Is "put up or shut up" civil? And what about reporting someone by mistake and do not say sorry? And accusing someone without certainty? What about not discuss just threaten? WWEJobber (talk) 20:33, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
Not in particular, at least in it's current incarnation. Honestly, I preferred it immensely during it's initial run for the first month or so. I just have a penchant for the removal of misinformation and unsourced information and because Nexus is such a high visibility target for such, it's where most of my attention goes when it comes to reverting / correcting. I might even make some significant or minor contributions here and there to it, but for the most part, I'm for cleaning it up, fixing a grammatical error or two, and moving on. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ②00:18, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
I wanted to say thanks for the support on getting the Lesnar article indefinitely semi-protected. I am new to wikipedia and didn't know how to check out the protection log, but I suspected that it's a pretty popular article for vandalism. I believe thanks to your endorsement, we were able to get it protected indefinitely. And I want to thank you for that. Dachknanddarice (T‖C)17:24, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
Hello Evilgohan2. Thanks for the speedy deletion work you are doing; it's a very important activity! I did want to let you know, though, regarding When New York Was Irish, that current consensus holds that it is bad practice to tag articles for speedy deletion as lacking context (CSD A1) or content (CSD A3) moments after creation, as users may be actively working on the article content. Ten to fifteen minutes is considered a good time to wait before tagging such articles under either of these criteria. Please note that before an appropriate waiting period is over, the articles should not be marked as patrolled, so that the wait does not result in the article escaping review at a later time. Nothing here is meant to apply to any other criterion; attack pages and copyright violations especially should be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks. elektrikSHOOS04:40, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
I hear you and generally would apply the same practices as well. Generally, I follow policy in these matters to the letter outside of exigent circumstances when an account seems to be merely being used for promotional purposes. This is not a decision I come to on a whim and indeed based it upon the swift and brief edits to two articles. It was the initial edit by the user which particularly prompted me to come to the conclusion that it was a promotional page. ⒺⓋⒾⓁⒼⓄⒽⒶⓃ②04:49, 31 March 2011 (UTC)
DC Meetup: May 7 @ Tenleytown Library
The next DC Wikimedia meetup is scheduled for Saturday, May 7, 3:30-5:30 pm at the Tenleytown Library (adjacent to the Tenleytown Metro Station, Red Line), followed by dinner & socializing at some nearby place.
This is the first official meeting of our proposed Wikimedia DC chapter, with discussion of bylaws and next steps. Other agenda items include, update everyone on our successful Wikimania bid and next steps in the planning process, discuss upcoming activities that we want to do over the summer and fall, and more.
Please RSVP here and see a list of additional tentatively planned meetups & activities for late May & June on the Wikipedia:Meetup/DC page.
I tried to lend a hand with a neutral solution but obviously this other user isn't budging on his opinion. My solution would be to formally put it up for discussion on the third party opinion page that you linked. I'd do it myself but as I've already been involved, it seems to frown on me doing so. I agree that it certainly does seem to come across as a worked shoot but remain of the opinion that it's irrelevant to the article itself and unless something major happens as a result, shouldn't even be linked at all.

This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar.
August 6 backstage pass
Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open!
The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover.
Ongoing
Today's Document challenge
The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr.
Wikisource
WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors.
New contributions
A list of some recent contributions to the project:
The National Archives has hundreds of thousands of digitized documents in its holdings. We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource.
Inclusion in the online catalog
We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Change on Kurt Angle
I didn't know that when the moments Kurt Angle turn heel and face I was being inaccurate. You're totally right. I never watched wrestling for over 20 years. I so don't know what and when are heel and face turns. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.88.217.38 (talk) 02:20, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
You seem to have closed the discussion when at the bottom, GaryColemanFan, CRRaysHead90 and Deely asked for it to continue to reach a consensus. "Comment Although the nominator has dropped his objections, I would still like to see this AfD continue and reach a consensus, as this is an issue that has been discussed many times in recent years. Rather that leave the discussion half-way, I am hoping that we can reach an actual decision on creating pages for other tag team champions. It would be much more helpful to be able to point to this as a consensus (either for or against) rather than have the constant "Now?" "No, not yet." "Now?" "Not yet." discussions for years to come. In addition, I am concerned about the "FOR NOW" comment, as I do not believe that an article's subject can lose its notability, and I dont want to come back to this same discussion in the near future. - GaryColemanFan" Starship.paint (talk) 01:07, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
