User talk:Lantrix/Archives/2009/July

This is an archive of past discussions with User:Lantrix. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

You have helped to sway the decision on this article to "delete". Per group recommendation I have tried to add a single truly notable person (Nobel laureate in physics) from the list to the article List of scientists opposing the mainstream scientific assessment of global warming. As I have predicted, my addition was swiftly reversed by William M. Connolley. This is just to let you know that while discussing the deletion you were misled (or misleading me). I am not going to challenge the deletion or argue with WMC, I do not even expect an answer to this message. I just hope that next time you will take a more weighted position on some other issue.

Not sure why you think I would not answer, probably because you spammed this message on the talk page of every user who voted delete for the article in question. Here is my answer. My delete was based purely upon the Wikipedia policy about Point of View forking. Let me quote:

A POV fork is an attempt to evade the neutrality policy by creating a new article about a certain subject that is already treated in an article, often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts. This is generally considered unacceptable. The generally accepted policy is that all facts and major points of view on a certain subject are treated in one article.

It's a plain and simple vote. I was not misled by anyone, nor am I misleading anyone. My vote is based upon Wikipedia policy and neutrality. I'm not concerned about edit warring based upon opinion, and do my best to remain neutral. Lantrix (talk) 00:18, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for signing up for the Great Wikipedia Dramaout. Wikipedia stands to benefit from the improvements in the article space as a result of this campaign. This is a double reminder.

Hi there.

It was lovely to meet you, via IRC.

Thought I'd mention the link to spotlight here; sorry if spammy, but it is rather fun and woo.

Anyway. Drop me a line sometime, and keep up the good stuff. Cheers,  Chzz  ►  04:14, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

That person copied the text from another website, so it can't stay.--Megaman en m (talk) 06:57, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for defending my userpage from IP vandalism! Kotiwalo (talk) 12:52, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

No problems. A lot of user pages were getting hit by the same vandals. It looks like some sort of botnet attack. Lantrix ::Talk::Contrib:: 12:54, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I reverted some of their edits from Shadowjams' page, I think that's where they got my user page as a target. It could be just some vandal-type individual who has learned to change his IP-address and thinks that Wikipedia can't stop him (or her) now, though. Kotiwalo (talk) 12:58, 26 July 2009 (UTC)
