Misplaced Pages

Revision as of 04:11, 2 October 2007

Welcome to my talk page! Please be sure to make all posts civil and constructive, as I'll revert anything I deem to be vandalism. Also, let us try to keep two-way conversations readable. If you post to my talk page, I will just reply here. If I posted recently to another talk page, including your talk page, then that means I have it on my watchlist and will just read responses there. I may refactor discussions to your talk page for the same reason. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles My Talk Archives: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Football players in war

I think I explained how I closed it as I did; Afd is not a vote count, if it were, you'd be right. But we are guided by WP:OCAT which indicates that these things are not proper, and I carefully considered the keep comments. There seems to be no nexus of football players in war, no article saying why there is anything different about them or that it is a notable intersection, any more than any other group of people in war (dentists, movie stars, politicians, architects).

I did carefully consider your explanation, but it just strikes me as a no consensus in that a good deal of editors were not persuaded by the reasons to delete it. Again, I absolutely would not argue that the result was keep, but it just struck me as if no agreement had been reached in the end. Thank you for the reply, though. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 04:03, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Bye

Thanks for telling me that. Goodbye. --Alien joe 20:19, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

You're welcome and I sincerely wish you all the best in the future. Have a wonderful weekend! --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 06:07, 22 September 2007 (UTC)

Welcome messages

Hi Great King of Pumpkins. I noticed that you have recently welcomed many new users. While this is of course appreciated, it may be better to welcome only the new users you happen to stumble upon, and not to go actively looking for them. It's even better to also send a "personalised" welcome message (such as thank you for your contributions to article X) in addition to the template. This is why we don't use bots to post welcome messages, because it is less personal. There's lots of other work to do around the wiki, so it may be a better idea to spend your time on writing articles or on other maintenance jobs than on welcoming new users who haven't made any edits yet. Just a piece of advice :-) Melsaran (talk) 19:41, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for the note. I joined the Welcoming Committee a short while back and mainly use the User creation log to welcome users in addition to welcoming users on articles I have posted on my watchlist. I can of course increase my article improvement efforts as well. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 19:53, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

References in Charon in popular culture

The references you added do not appear to be inline. Artw 21:57, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Dear Artw, I had to be quick with my edits today, as I was preparing for my class (met at 5:30 PM). Anyway, I wanted to add the links there for someone to place whereever appropriate. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 00:30, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Re: Welcome

Thanks, this is User:Dante Alighieri, I just sometimes forget to sign-in before I edit from this IP. ;) --69.12.157.118 18:14, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Okay, have a great day! :) Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 18:15, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I had edited the "Sunset District", San Francisco, CA page as of September 6, 2007. You removed my edits. It was my first edit. I do appreciate all constructive "builds" on Misplaced Pages as helpful to the process, and need to learn more. But just to clarify, any long-time San Franciscan will generally note that our famous fog isn't quite what it used to be. It's not as much of a presence in recent summers. I said "appeared", although maybe that isn't the best way to describe it. In the page, I think you may find a number of subjective statements that are essentially opinions. And we all see the effects of a warming climate almost everywhere. So perhaps I could get some references if I try, but meanwhile, would you consider restoring some of my edits in a modified format? If not, why not? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.204.173.145 (talk) 21:30, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Trivia Cleanup Project is NOT just for nuking

It's for cleaning articles, and when needed: deleting them. I take offense to the note on your user page, as my opinion isn't that of the whole project. I'm one user of the project: that doesn't mean my view controls the project. I think people are being paranoid and assuming the project is for killing all trivia articles, when that's not even close to being right. You didn't mention my name in the note: however it's implied as I'm a member of the project and I've nominated numerous pop culture articles. Perhaps other members have nominated as well (I don't know the member list that well), but in any event: the note is immature and just a false accustation. We don't get together and say "go nominate all the pop culture articles" or anything like that. RobJ1981 04:17, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Dear Rob, please remember to assume good faith. If you looked carefully at how I had that item listed, you would notice that I was quoting someone with that description. Notice how it was (see below) in something titled "Things Durova suggested I look at In an email of Sat, 1 Sep 2007: a WikiProject dedicated to nuking the "in popular culture" articles", i.e. that is how a fellow editor described the project and not how I did. I am of course extremely disappointed by all the nominations against "in popular culture" articles and I really wish more time was spent improving articles than trying to delete others work. It is tragic that on a non-paper encyclopedia so many articles would get deleted or proposed to be deleted rather than improved, especially these particular kinds of articles for which I often find reliable sources for with relative ease. In any event, I am, however, happy to remove that particular suggestion from my user page. Have a nice night! Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles 04:23, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Stop stalking me in AFDs

I highly doubt you just search AFDs to vote in. I think it's a bit obvious you are stalking every AFD I create and post in. This is immature and not needed. I could be wrong, but it doesn't look that way to me. RobJ1981 04:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
