Thankyou for informing me that I should not un-nomanate articles that are nomanated for deletion, as I did not know prior to you informing. mcjakeqcool Mcjakeqcool (talk) 17:50, 15 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
The game's from Bally Midway, and if an article were written on it, it would belong at Blue Print (video game). Like Blue print, Blue Print should redirect to its primary topic, with the niche item (which doesn't even have an article) linked from Blueprint (disambiguation). Certainly the redirect's better than the redlink this substub is going to turn into. —Korath (Talk) 18:58, 29 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You're right, of course, but perhaps better to wait until it does get deleted......?--Elen of the Roads (talk) 09:16, 30 July 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I'm sorry, but I don't see how the edit by 80.179.211.220 on the article is spam. It's a real subject, and the referenced article talks about white labeling, and expands the subject.
And it's most certainly not a minor change.
I'd love to hear your opinion on that, but in the meanwhile, I'm returning the change.
Look at it in the context of that ip's contributions, and 87.69.68.111's, and likely others - 100% of them are to either promote that site or remove mention of its competitors. (I don't remember for sure whether it's the same site behind Financial games (AfD discussion), Trading games (AfD discussion), Financial tournament (AfD discussion), Trading competition (AfD discussion), Financial gaming (AfD discussion), but I rather suspect it is.) You may also want to speak to User:Hu12, who initially removed it. —Korath (Talk) 04:03, 18 September 2009 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Stop deleting My Library from the list of JS libraries[edit]
Do you have any idea what you are doing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.8.72 (talk) 03:59, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That two-year-old deletion discussion is irrelevant today (and really was then). Why are you adding SWFObject and removing a library that has a much better Flash module? Because _you_ have never heard of it? Do you know anything about browser scripting at all? If not, you need to stop making snap judgments about which scripts are notable. If jQuery is notable, then My Library must be as jQuery is downstream from My Library in terms of ideas. Get it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.8.72 (talk) 13:28, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Why, yes, other stuff does exist. jQuery is a priori notable because it's actually been noted by reliable sourcespeople independent of it. But that is irrelevant to the subject at hand—unlike the deletion discussion, in which sourcing was attempted and failed. You claim My Library is notable? WP:PROVEIT. Otherwise, you're on a short road to a block. —Korath (Talk) 15:58, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Look, let me come at it from another angle. List articles like List of JavaScript libraries only have entries that either have articles on Wikipedia, or a reasonable expectation that there will be an article in the future (which is why there are some redlinks there). My Library doesn't have an article, and there's no current expectation that it will - any such article would be immediately speedy-deleted because of the prior deletion discussion; and essentially the only way to get that deletion discussion overturned is to provide significant coverage in reliable source that are independent of the subject. The author of the previous article didn't provide any; the editors at the deletion discussion weren't able to find any; and I haven't been able to find any either. (Not least because the library's name makes it impossible to google.) All you have to do is to provide such sources, and I'll push it through the bureaucracy to get the article restored for you. —Korath (Talk) 17:34, 22 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Thanks for your help. It has been widely discussed on Usenet (and other Internet forums). Usenet is where programming is typically discussed.
Google "My Library" + Javascript. Or "Browser scripting library" and note it is #1 (and has been for years). I am NOT a spammer. I know the library is as relevant (or more) than what is currently listed here.
And what is a reputable source? Ajaxian?! Those bums didn't post an article because I said their site sucks (and it does). So that's where we are at. Make no mistake that My Library is notable (and very well-known at this point). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.186.8.72 (talk) 02:27, 9 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
I did try "My Library" +JavaScript; the first hit is indeed for My Library, as are a few of the others, but the overwhelming majority are still unrelated. The second hit typifies these: "I have been working on a new JavaScript Library. ... My library is heavily influenced by..." I wasn't able to find anything that was both clearly about My Library and what's considered a reliable source on Wikipedia.
Getting this article through Wikipedia:Deletion Review citing primarily Usenet would be extremely difficult; I would need to be able to point at specific Usenet posts written by independently-published authors, as per the third paragraph of Wikipedia:Reliable sources#Self-published sources (online and paper). This isn't something I can reasonably do; not only do I no longer have direct access to Usenet (and I've always found Google Groups' interface so clumsy as to be unusable), but, with no more than a name and possibly an email address, I can't distinguish between a published author (whose posts could be cited) and a competent but unknown programmer (whose posts could not), since JavaScript is not my field.
The situation is worsened since the guideline that governs article inclusion is not specifically Wikipedia:Reliable sources, but Wikipedia:Notability, which essentially states that not only do the cited sources have to be reliable (per the Reliable sources guideline), but they have to by independent of the subject. This would exclude even published authors' postings if those authors had contributed to My Library. On the other hand, if something they've written about My Library has been independently published (in dead tree form, on a website with independent fact-checking, etc.), the involvement of the publishers is sufficient to make the source independent. —Korath (Talk) 07:31, 9 February 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
You responded to an undeletion request with the statement "It was deleted by Stifle as a result of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Phi Kappa Pi (fraternity), where C.Fred, whom you so blithely attack, argued for its retention."
Could you please provide diffs for the attacks you have identified. Cheers. Weakopedia (talk) 11:33, 17 April 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
Short version: write an article at Prognosticator, referenced to third-party, reliable sources, first, and then include it on the list of applications. —Korath (Talk) 22:10, 17 May 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
