Ahem. Sorry. In my defence he was rather asking for it. --Illustrious One (talk) 15:34, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

no he was not, he was explaining the issues with the article. Ridernyc (talk) 15:38, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Yes. In a very condescending tone. --Illustrious One (talk) 17:21, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

your tone during the debate has contributed to the responses you are getting from other editors. Your tone is 100% inappropriate. Ridernyc (talk) 17:27, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

I apologise. I realise I've made a few insults but in what way is my tone 100% innappropriate may I enquire? And what was the line I was crossing that you mentioned in the debate? --Illustrious One (talk) 12:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Mulgarath

I have nominated Mulgarath, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/Mulgarath. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for informing me Collectonian. I have addressed the matters on the respective deletion nomination pages. --Illustrious One (talk) 19:33, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not attack other editors, which you did here: List of fictional psychopaths and sociopaths‎ . If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Misplaced Pages. Uncivil comments in edit summaries are also inappropriate. Your have already been warned previously that making personal attack and insults against other editors is whole inappropriate and violates Misplaced Pages policy, yet you continue to do so. Your tone is 100% inappropriate and your snide remarks are unnecessary. I also suggest you look at the ownership policy, as you seem to feel very possessive over some of the articles you have created and are attempting to block appropriate edits and tagging. Collectonian (talk) 21:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

No, I'm not possessive of my articles, I'm just protective of them. I can't actually remember insulting anyone on the List of fictional psychopaths and osciopaths page, perhaps you'd be so kind as to do a link to show the insult I made. I apologise. I shall try to improve my tone. --Illustrious One (talk) 11:13, 25 December 2007 (UTC)

Lord of Darkness

Thank you for your support in helping me defend the prestigious Lord of Darkness article from deletion. The idiots have subsequently deleted the article and the term Lord of Darkness as you will observe has been redirected to Devil, sadly. Thank you for everything all the same. Merry Christmas. --Illustrious One (talk) 21:35, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

We need to talk about your attitude. I don't appreciate the way you treated others at that AfD, nor the way you referred to them just now. I believe you owe each person involved an apology. We're trying to build an encyclopedia together, and when someone mistreats another here, it detracts from that effort and reflects badly on the whole project. This is supposed to be fun. People don't come here to be miserable. So please be nice. It's one of our main rules. See WP:CIVIL. And you should WP:AGF that others are only doing what they believe is best for the encyclopedia. They don't harbor any ill will toward you or the subject of the article you wrote. They are volunteering their valuable time here, and they deserve your respect.

You overreacted. Deletion is no big deal, because the article is not really deleted. It's simply not being displayed anymore, because it is not up to the community's standards. It needs more real-world context, and it needs sources. All you have to do is politely ask the admin who closed the deletion debate to userfy the article. If you don't call him names, he'll be happy to copy it to your userspace (make it a subpage of your userpage) so that you can work on it. Once you have fixed the article, you can submit it to Misplaced Pages:Deletion review.

But first, you should post a message of apology to each of the participants in that AfD. No one deserved the way you treated them there.

Please contact me before you submit it to deletion review - the more feedback you get the greater your chances of success will be. And the next time you are in an AfD, you should consider asking the others for more time to add the sources. If you are actively working on the article to fix it, they have the option of leaving the article in place so that you and others can fix it.

If you need help developing the article and finding sources for it, there are several places you can ask for assistance. See WP:REQUESTS.

Good luck. And please...

Be nice.
