Hi Haukurth, I added two links that I believe to be relevant to "Tarot" and "Rune", but after reading your criteria I realize it may not pass the test. For the Tarot section the page shows several Tarot decks to choose from. The Rune link I placed displays the 25 Runes, which one can click on and obtain a description as well as pictorial view of the stone. We have written permission from various source for the images including US Games Systems Inc. for several of the Tarot decks. There is Google advertising on some of the pages and according to your criteria this may disqualify the site from being listed in the External Links section. I guess that is up to you. Thanks for you consideration! Dan.
Hi Haukurth -- just wanted to address the Cassandra Claire edits in a slightly better context than a one-line edit summary. :)
When there was a real Cassandra Claire article, as you'll see in the history and in the discussion page for it, it was vandalized, over and over again, by one or more people who felt it was the proper place to disseminate fandom-specific controversies, rumors, and general vitriol about Cassie; there were a number of edit wars, and in part, the VfD that led to the redirect was an attempt to take away the controversy surrounding the *person* of Cassandra Claire while maintaining the presence of her most well-known work in Wikipedia at all.
I'm a fan of Cassandra Claire's and I think she deserves positive attention, but this seems to be a great example of why fancruft can be a problem -- because it brings fandom people who are otherwise unconnected with Wikipedia in to have fandom-related fights in the form of revert wars and long comments in the discussion page of the article (check out that discussion page; it's a disaster). Although it would be nice for her to have a Wikipedia page that merely noted her accomplishments, that doesn't, at the moment at least, seem possible without a lot of messy controversy and vandalism; I don't particularly want to babysit that article every day and I doubt you do either.
Cassie's first original novel should be released by Simon & Schuster in the first half of 2007, which hopefully will allow her to have a Wikipedia article without any need to have big conversations about what is and isn't fancruft and with enough people paying attention to avoid the vandalism. Till then, it's my opinion that the VSD article is what is going to stay unvandalized (which it has so far). Seriously, check out the discussion page for the Cassandra Claire article and some of the old history, and check out the VfD. This was a /mess/.
I'd like to hear your thoughts; I appreciate what you're trying to do, I just feel like I've been here before and it leads to mess from a Wikipedia perspective and a vandalized article full of defamatory content linked to Cassie's name, which doesn't quite seem to be in her best interests.
Sorry for the length of this, and thanks. Hope to hear back from you. Tromboneborges 12:54, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Greetings, Haukurth! I wanted to sincerely thank you for voting in my RfA, which passed with a final result of 55/14/3. Your support means a lot to me! If you have any questions or input regarding my activities, be they adminly or just a "normal" user's, or if you just want to chat about anything at all, feel free to drop me a line. Cheers! —Nightstallion (?) 07:38, 4 January 2006 (UTC) |
But prey, why, again and again, do you try to create tensions about non-issues? That you won't do that "again for the day" is hardly comforting. --Francis Schonken 11:50, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
You've just removed the "Good article" status from the Gothic article, with the only justification being "I don't feel that this article currently meets the standards of a good article". Could you please elaborate on why you feel that, so that we can improve the article? —Felix the Cassowary 01:07, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for making me gifted with "Incisive analysis". I'm just a conservative concerned mostly with the ease of use of this encyclopedia... I'm aware that darn few of those fools would know what an umlaut is, let alone a Ð (I don't even know how to name it in English, being French) but I still believe it wrong to modernize stuff just for the sake of adopting more modern conventions, as those are not applicable to stuff that went out of common use before Edward II was king of britain or Kristofer I, king of Tánmárk. --Svartalf 23:54, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for tewlling me about the vote on Naming Conventions. I see that I missed the vote (I hurt my hand in November); but I acknowledge your sportsmanship in informing me. This is especially kind of you since I continue to disagree with the convention proposed: Most Norse names have English forms, and we should use them unless a clear convention has developed to the contrary, which is very rarely the case.

Sorry. I hadn't realized the original text was important on WP:IAR. A bit like wine I suppose, even if a duplicate is chemically the same, the vintage makes it worth the price tag. I'll create a section on the talk page so we can hammer out a new version (a little more slowly this time). :-) /* Pradeep Arya 10:58, 9 January 2006 (UTC) */
Okay. I added "The Consensus Forge" to the WP:IAR talk page. It's a kind of experiment in forging consensus on an article. Hopefully I'm not laughed off the talk page. :-) /* Pradeep Arya 12:24, 9 January 2006 (UTC) */
Like many proceedural points, this has substantive implications, however. It has now been demonstrated that someone can unilaterally move an article between the Anglicized and Icelandic spellings, and be fairly sure any appeal to WP:RM will result in no consensus. And remember, this works for moves in both directions.
I expect this to happen again. Whatever the merits of the present case, I think this is a bad thing. It means a lot of futile WP:RM discussion, and it will not encourage comity. The way to suppress it is to establish a custom of status quo ante, so that the unilateral move will have no advantage over the proper course: bringing such moves to WP:RM in the first place. Septentrionalis 17:50, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
You left the following message on my talk page:

Greinin um rímur er mjög fátækleg og var af minni hálfu upphaflega hugsuð til bráðabirgða, unz eitthvað betra tæki við. Þetta höfum við rætt áður. Hins vegar þykist ég sjá, eftir því sem ég sökkvi mér meira í þetta, að ekki sé um neinn milliveg að ræða. Annaðhvort verði stutt grein, lítillega lengri en nú er, eða góð úttekt á efninu, og það yrði mjög langt. Þetta má bíða betra tóms um sinn, en hvora leiðina kysir þú? Sjálfur vildi ég gjarnan hafa rækilega úttekt, en mig óar við verkinu, og er auk þess ekki sá sérfræðingur, er ég vildi. Ég hefi annars dritið skilaboðum til þín í dag og ég held að það sé rétt að fara að láta þig í friði í bili. :) Beztu kveðjur Io 20:05, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
Congratulations! It's my pleasure to let you know that, consensus being reached, you are now an administrator. You should read the relevant policies and other pages linked to from the administrators' reading list before carrying out tasks like deletion, protection, banning users, and editing protected pages such as the Main Page. Most of what you do is easily reversible by other sysops, apart from page history merges and image deletion, so please be especially careful with those. You might find the new administrators' how-to guide helpful. Cheers! -- Francs2000 22:58, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Hello Haukurth! I saw that you removed an article that I had placed into the Germanic Paganism category. I questioned the placement myself but added it with some reservations. What do you think should be directly placed into that category? Feel free to remove other items from the category thatyou think should be removed. I have a few points that I think need addressing regarding the category.
There's a lot that should be done with it and if you'd like to step up and help or if you have any ideas, I'm open.. :bloodofox: 02:12, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Not only is User:Elonka (who was working with the guy accusing you of being one of my five or more sockpuppets) is proceeding with her unrealistic demands to remove everything she objected to on talk pages, but apparently Philwelch is joining in reverting back to her version and locking pages. Just happened on Template talk:Mesopotamian mythology and might move elsewhere. This is absolutely ridiculous. We've got a rogue admin here making up his own rules and going against what multiple admins said on AN/I to support the histrionics of an editor who thinks she runs the place.

Hey, Haukurth, I wanted to thank you for your support of my (unfortunately unsuccessful) request for adminship. The final tally was 37/16/5, which fell short of the needed 75-80% for "consensus".

How is it my fault that he pressed save when he knows he shouldn't? Accusing me of baiting him is accusing me of bad-faith.
