If I left a message on your talk page, I probably added it to my watchlist, so you can reply there if you prefer and I should still read it soon. - Fayenatic (talk) 13:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
The choice of redirect target for Pillai (surname) was an oversight ... I think. Thank you for rectifying the situation. In fact, considering recent discussions it might not be unreasonable to delete Pillai (surname) as being both contrary to emerging style consensus and an unlikely search term. Thoughts?
With regard to the halt in discussion: You weren't at fault. There are two major (and lots of minor) reasons for halts in discussions. One, as pointed out when I asked a similar question, is that extended silence can be interpreted as a sign of having reached consensus. The second is that the issue has become sufficiently complicated in its treatment that people aren't sure which thread to pull on. It is likely that the second is in play here, which is remedied by a redirection and focusing of the discussion. I believe the ball is in my court on both Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anthroponymy#How notable is notable enough? and Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Anthroponymy#Guideline for content of the list of names associated with a name article, so I will give some thought about how to place the return on each. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
I think it's supposed to be that a user who is blocked with "account creation blocked" would not be able to register a new account; much like autoblocking, but only for account creation, while autoblocking would apply only to existing accounts the blocked user tries to use. However, I don't think the software actually does this. Mangojuicetalk 20:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

With regards the House of Duras article, I just merged the separate articles in case someone else more trigger happy came in and prodded or AFD'ed them out of existence first, so I should go back and do a little tidying up too Alastairward (talk) 23:15, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I recreated this article, which is now up for AFD. Perhaps you could add something to improve upon it or have something to say in the ensuing debate over whether it should be deleted. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 23:59, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
Merging is probably an acceptable solution. I do think the information is notable enough to appear on Wikipedia. --Bookworm857158367 (talk) 13:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

You very kindly remarked, back in January, on the work I had put into the article on Internal consistency of the Bible. Thanks, I don't think I actually did thank you at the time, and I did appreciate the comment.
Now another editor has been overhauling the article, and in doing so has taken exception to one part of this section - the reference I put in, to a quote by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. I felt this was actually a useful quotation, not only because it gave depth to the discussion - showing how the issue could be seen as an inspiration to people, quite aside from the debate about whether the references concerned were contradictory or not, or were meant to be - but also because I actually have a very great respect for Bonhoeffer (as for anyone who is prepared to die for helping others).
This editor has commented that the quotation: "in isolation, the claim to exclusiveness leads to fanaticism and slavery; and in isolation the claim to totality leads to secularisation and self-abandonment of the Church" is misleading, and the way it was cited, makes it "seem like a slur on Christianity". I am puzzled that anyone should think this, and frankly offended that anyone would suggest that I would distort a reference in such a way as to make it seem like a slur. However, I don't think I'm really objective about this and I'm not sure I can argue about this simply on the basis of my interpretation. Would you mind having a look at the article again, and this section of the talk page: [[1]], and telling me whether you think this observation is fair? Have I misrepresented what Bonhoeffer was saying? I would value your opinion on this. --Rbreen (talk) 22:10, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
The page "Category:Hebrew Bible people" does not to have "Category:Prophets of the Hebrew Bible" under "sub-category." How can this be fixed? --Carlaude (talk) 14:12, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, this category was recreated recently (not by by me!) and was sent to CfD and I thought you might want to give your two cents. For An Angel (talk) 13:26, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
I was just looking over the new sub-cats that you've added, and I'm not sure that Category:Fictional adoptees and Category:Fictional orphans belong there. I did give some thought to both of them, but I held back because I think they both have large numbers of articles that don't really belong in Category:Fictional children -- adult characters who are known to have been orphaned or adopted when they were children. I think it would probably be better to install horizontal links to both of those categories. (I created the CatRel template which I used quite often for that purpose.) Let me know what you think about this.
PS - I just reverted the vandalism of your talk page. (You must have pissed off somebody!) Some twerp had turned it into a redirect to Penis. Real cute. At least it wasn't a picture! :) Regards, Cgingold (talk) 03:32, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Articles on distinct but related topics may well contain a significant amount of information in common with one another. This does not make either of the two articles a content fork. As an example, clearly Joséphine de Beauharnais will contain a significant amount of information also in Napoleon I of France, this does not make it a fork.

Hey there, I just saw Category:Lists of fictional children. Nice work! I hope you'll find time to respond to my questions above some time soon. Regards, Cgingold (talk) 21:05, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi thanks for your message. To be honest, I had totally forgotten about that, I should have worked on it by now! I would be grateful though if you would give me time now to work on the article, as I now have the time to do so, but it won't be an overnight huge improvement! Thanks. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 16:49, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
The backlink removal is automatic when I delete pages using Twinkle. I thought I'd gone back and removed the link altogether, but all I did was revert myself. Hmm. More haste... --Dweller (talk) 20:15, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
I have gone through all the links in Template:Judges, Template:Kings of Judah, and Template:Kings of Israel and made sure that the corresponding category was included in hardcopy on every article. It is no longer necessary to transclude the categories through the templates. Now, because we are transcluding the categories through the templates, AND because a user has decided to place the template in their userspace, we have User:Carlaude/Template included in the category list of Category:Kings of ancient Judah, Category:Kings of ancient Israel, and Category:Judges of ancient Israel. Having the userspace in mainspace categories is a "no no". The solution would be to remove these templates from the user space, and monitor the situation so that no one ever places the template anywhere but the main namespace (so no article talk pages either), or we could just remove the transcluded categories. I'd prefer the latter option ;), but I'm writing you now to hear you out (because you reverted me yesterday). Cheers!-Andrew c [talk] 02:02, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, Fayenatic - Just in case you're not keeping an eye on the CFD pages at the moment, I thought you'd like to know that Jupiter Optimus Maximus is back for another bite of the apple -- in this case, Category:Child characters in written fiction. (no idea why he picked out that one in particular) So far he hasn't actually tagged it for CFD (and needless to say, no courtesy notice for you, as creator). Silly me, I thought these new categories were "home free" for a while at least. Cgingold (talk) 20:26, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi - the problem is to an extent one of semantics.
The simple point I have been trying to get over, is that conventional power grids, call it what you will, are as intermittent in many respects as one heavily relying on wind.
All grids have to have back up plant, or mechanisms at all times, so it is quite misleading as many commentators claim, wrongly that wind is inherently new in its intermittency.
The same already existing mechanisms can to a large extent be used to cope with the intermittency of wind, as are presently used to cope with the intermittency of conventional plant. I find it hard to believe you have not come across unplanned outages in 15 years - which country are you talking about? did you see that UK suddenly lost 1.5 GW in a few minutes? AND didn't have enough reserve capacity.
If the entire grid had been running entirely on wind, that could not have happened, you simply could not have lost 1.5 GW of wind generators simultaneously.
The issue of intermittency is heralded by either ignorant or deviously mid leading persons as in some way being the Achilles heel of wind powered generation - it is not, it is perfectly possibly to design grids to have almost 100% of wind generation and yet maintain continuous generation at reasonable cost, and any article on intermittency should recognise that. The Danish grid is studying how to do just that at the moment.
Kind Regards
Engineman
Nope, this time I did it on purpose. I removed the tags from the two-three redirects that were in the category and proposed the category, which now has only one actual article in it, for deletion. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 14:35, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

You'll see I've added a few more to Category:Hospitals by year of establishment since I left my comment about Barts! Personally, I think it'd be OK to stick with centuries for the early ones rather than a "pre-1700" category - Barts is now part of the Category:12th century establishments, which seems to work.

Hello. A credible authors' reference is being "overrided" by edit-warring. I recently tried to add to the telescope article but this editor seems to think that his opinion overrides a VERY credible author in Mr. Richard Powers. I've been blocked before for edit-warring recently, so I don't want this to be another incident on my record.
Anyway, the other editor seemed to have asked his friend-type editors to form a consensus, so I will do the same. The Islamic connection here is, Al-Haytham. He is FUNDAMENTAL to the telescope and the FATHER of optics. By definition, the summary can include him since the radio and electro-magnetic telescopes are derogatory to the average person looking at the article; I wanted to add it to the history section since it looked cleaner.

More information: Wikipedia:Meetup/London 12
Hello,
I noticed that you have listed yourself as a Wikipedian in London, so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly social meetups. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.
If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Wikipedia enthusiasts in which we chat about Wikipedia and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Wikipedia, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.
The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!
Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.
Yours,

Please forgive the slightly impersonal mass-invite!
I spotted your edit to Ba'kelalan and decided to put the URL from your edit summary into the References. However, when I looked at the Green Village website I couldn't find any reference to the duration of the journey. Can you point me in the right direction, please?
Can't help asking whether your interest in the Ba'kelalan article stems from a visit there? I have very happy memories of the place...
Cheers -- Hebrides (talk) 13:44, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your prompt reply - now I understand why I couldn't find it on the website. I don't doubt that it takes six or more hours (depending on conditions) and I think your edit is valuable. It was just that I noticed the URL and felt like adding a reference if I could. -- Hebrides (talk) 19:23, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh come on!! Actually, I agree that the "C.B.E." page should be a redirect to "Order of the British Empire". (I nearly made that change myself.) And I also agree that you then needed to make "CBE (disambiguation)" consistent with that. Both are changes I support.But to provide an edit comment of "→See also: Delete section, WP:Content fork from this page, selectively promoting a sub-set of meanings" to justfy your actions is tantamount to lying; it neither "fork"ed nor "selectively promot[ed] a sub-set of meanings" before you made your edit! It was your edit that created that situation!! Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of Star Trek animals, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((dated prod))
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --EEMIV (talk) 04:45, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
I have looked at your article and wish it well. It might be useful if there were information on the size of its membership. Citations of an organisation's website are strictly not an independent source, but likely to be reliable where talking about itslef. I am not sure how appropriate it is to list the officers, unless they are also notable, but an academic with 50 published papers may be (depending on his field): it might be useful to provide an article on him. I picked up the debate on David C. C. Watson through watching Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Christianity. I am a Christian, but my views on the creation/evolution debate are somewhat equivocal. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:28, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Hi,
As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.
We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.
You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
Addbot (talk) 19:29, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
Good morning (well, it's morning in London)... I note that you depopulated and deleted category:Series of comic books without CFD. The reason for creating this category was to give comics a place within category:Series of books. I haven't followed the Comics category discussions closely and I'm not in the Project, but as I understand it there are one-off comics as well as many series, so I'm not sure that the replacement category:Comics publications belongs within "series of books".
On the basis that comics are mostly series, may I put category:Comics publications within Book series?
Perhaps you consider that List of comic books does all that is required? As a user, I like navigating by categories. - Fayenatic (talk) 08:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Heya...barring consensus, I've reverted back to the lack of list as discussed previously. I still stand by my decision that any such list is guaranteed to be flawed. How do we determine who is notable enough for listing? Current famous-ness? Why is Jennifer Aniston (one actress, listed) more notable than Jennifer Beals (another actress, not listed) or Jennifer Jason Leigh (actress, also not listed)? Is any actress more notable than a famous author (Jennifer Crusie, not listed) or an award-winning movie director (Jennifer Jako, not listed)? Basically, who determines this, and more importantly, who gets dropped off the list when someone "more notable" comes along? This sort of list becomes a popularity contest, with Wikipedia editors failing to keep to WP:NPOV by any edit of it. --Kickstart70-T-C 03:58, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
We are crossing paths increasingly often. I don't take offence at that, as I aim to edit in a way that stands up to scrutiny, and it's usually educational to work with a tireless contributor. However, I trust that you won't mind my asking if there's a reason for this. Do you consider that I have bad taste in categories? - Fayenatic (talk) 16:09, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
You had participated back in February in this CfD regarding the Category:Documentaries alleging war crimes, which ended in no consensus.

Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?
The controversies matter and its inclusion have been discussed many a time and not only in the section you indicated but also other talk pages. It was concluded more than once that SRK has never been directly involved in major and serious controversies. Notability must be established, and sources do not always do that. There have been thousand other tiffs and mini-controversies similar to this minor issue sparking around the actor. They appear non-notable, trivial and unencyclopedic, even if they're sourced.

Hello -- I just discovered that Category:Fictional characters by origin and all of its 100 or so sub-cats were deleted en masse a few weeks ago. Thanks to the way it was initially set up and then changed half way through -- and especially because the focus of the discussion was entirely on comics characters -- I honestly didn't realize what was at stake in that CFD. I'm still reeling at the thought of what's been lost. It's gonna have to be reversed at DRV. But first -- there's a new CFD to eliminate Category:Fictional Americans by ethnicity and all of it's sub-cats (which were somehow missed in the earlier CFD). What a travesty. It's so much easier to destroy than it is to create. Aargh! Anyway, I thought you'd want to know about this new round. Cheers? Cgingold (talk) 19:31, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on DavidLee, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

Everyone at the Hunt household is quite relieved that a legitimate recognition exists now at the very least. Do not worry about encouragement or lack there of.

Good evening, I am writing from Pakistan, where recently I added some information regarding the advent of Ansaris in this region. However, it was twice removed. Please inform me how to proceed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishratqabili (talk • contribs) 14:36, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Greetings, I apologise for the delay, blame my old age, I had forgotten my password for my earlier account.
Coming down to the issue at hand, I have somewhat sourced the article I added to the Ansari (nesbat) page, but please be informed that a bundle of sources are in hard copies in the shape of Law Digests, Legal Reviews etc, for which we do not have any internet substitute. However, I have and will continue to add up sources as I come along. Please inform me, if the text I added earlier is admissible.

Thank you for your guidance. I did come across news paper items which can be used as sources for the notability. Also, a web page made which has been solely made a member of the Ansari family. However, regrettably, prestige, like in many other countries, is often related with it being rather "quiet". Meaning that the prestige is gained over time through excellent behaviour moral/ethical, excellent skills in court etc. None of this is recorded however. As it is, in some cases, held to be boastful. The Ansari family, however, is by far the oldest legal families in settled Pakistan, the legal practice, as a business began in the year 1948, again, please note that Pakistan was an incredibly young nation at that time and such trivial matters were not reported. Also note, that upon the demise of the founder of the Ansari family Mr Bashir Ahmad Ansari, a reference was made to him, which was attended by many politicians, judges, notable lawyers etc. I will try to obtain the records and scripts, but that would not be easy. I have read both the WP:BIO and the WP:NOTABILITY and I have come to the conclusion, that with proper sources, this item should be added to the Ansari(nesbat) page. Now, my question to you, sir, is that if I add the item with the minimal source I have, would you still erase it?
Thank you
Ishrat Pakistan —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishratqabili2 (talk • contribs) 17:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Greetings,
As per your request, I would gladly outline under WP:BIO why I think this family is notable.
Under the basic criteria, it is stated that a person would be assumed notable, if the said person is subject to independent published reports. Here I deem newspapers articles and independent websites to be independent published reports. Moreover, down below, under "Any Biography", a person would be deemed notable if they have received an award or a nomination,also, notability would arise if the said person has contributed significantly in his or her specific fields.
Under the basic criteria, this family, especially the founders, do fall within. Hence being notable.
Moving on, as per your statement regarding the extent of notability of the Ansari family with regards to admission in the article itself, I would believe that to be a rather objective stance. In the article, little has been said about the Ansaris in India and Pakistan, and I believe that omitting this family would not give the viewers the full scope of Ansari (nesbat) in the region, I urge you to reconsider admitting the Ansaris in the article.
With respect to starting an independent article on the lawyers, I would start that immediately depending if I have the know-how.

Fayenatic, thank you for a prompt reply, I would like your assistance on this matter, the first article I have states how an important event was presided by the President of the Rawalpindi Bar Association Bashir Ahmad Ansari...would this be admissible?
Secondly, another article states how a special committee was formulated with 3 high ranking advocates and judges to review important constitution acts etc.
Please inform me if such independent articles and reports would be deemed as acceptable sources? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ishratqabili2 (talk • contribs) 23:04, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
Good evening Faynatic, how are you? I wanted to inquire something, I have been compiling articles/clippings etc on the Ansari family, and I have come about a large number of reported items. Which include scores of newspaper reports, biographies, law-deciding cases etc, however, I have been unable to get internet copies of that material. I am preparing to write an article about the Ansari family independently according to your guidance, however, how do I source the articles I have, for example the news paper clippings and law deciding case laws, special committees etc. I would be grateful if you would direct me.

Why have you removed members from Category:Fictional females? User:Tone has since deleted it as empty. I can't find any discussion to delete this category, which survived a CFD as recorded at Category talk:Fictional females. RSVP here. - Fayenatic (talk) 19:23, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I see you also emptied Category:Female stock characters leading to its deletion. The only recent mention of this in a CFD was not proposing deletion.
I know I have supported you on some of your other recent unilateral actions, but I propose to take these to DRV unless you can explain good cause for your actions. - Fayenatic (talk) 22:17, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
I see that one of them has a parallel list. Perhaps a list is sufficient for female stock characters. I might support you on re-deleting that sub-cat. But please seek consensus; there are always category talk pages if you don't think it needs to go to CFD. Please also leave more meaningful and honest edit summaries; e.g. "removing category X, List of X suffices". And please wait four days before tagging empty categories as WP:CSD#C1. - Fayenatic (talk) 00:55, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
Sorry, but this seems exactly wrong to me. I think the old categorization was much more useful. People looking for Arthur Sullivan's works need these ballets to be in the old category. The new category, which just has the two ballets in it and will never have any more, seems useless. -- Ssilvers (talk) 19:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the comment. I left a message for the cat creator. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

In most cases, it's better to follow the format of "List of (fictional) characters in x" than "List of x characters". (Use of "fictional" may be optional depending on the context.)
So, for example, "List of characters in science fiction television".
And so the same would go for categories which group lists. "Lists of characters in science fiction television".
The main reason is to help, if merely by the name, to help distinguish between fiction-related and non-fiction-related. - jc37 19:55, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
Fixed, thanks for letting me know. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone 21:47, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
Nicely done.
Word of note, you may wish to find some sources to prevent someone nominating it for deletion (as there seems to be such a hunt atm). - jc37 15:12, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Solomon Male requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding ((hangon))
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. digitalmischief (talk) 09:06, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, you know I'm sorry and I gave you the cookie and all but... Seeing as I'm learning how to make signitures and I'm getting quite good at it, how about I make one for you, I'll get to it and even if you don't want to use it I'll use a Fayenatic thing just to test, tell me the colours and I'll get to work. Kalajan 22:53, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
It's done, all I need now are the colours, look: Fayenatic London

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Category:Defunct LGBT organizations, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Category:Defunct LGBT organizations has been empty for at least four days, and its only content has been links to parent categories. (CSD C1).
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Category:Defunct LGBT organizations, please affix the template ((hangon)) to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
