Hey, I did the same thing the first time I wanted to shift a page. It's always fixable, no worries. :) When you're an admin (soon now!), it will be easy for you to delete a redirect and move the page yourself. As it stands, you need a friendly neighborhood admin to do the deletion task for you, but we are very bad at telling people how this goes, so you shouldn't get down on yourself for not knowing it. :) But if feeling bad means you get the distinctly un-fun task of changing links.....feel a little bad for the next 30 minutes or so. ;-) Thanks for being a good sport, and thanks also for your good work here: keep it up!

I love your signature. Do you keep the same links or do you rotate them according to your current interests? - Texture 17:27, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
The problem with non-static IPs is because being non-static they can take any combination of numbers. That's why this particular persistent vandal is so f**king annoying, and why one has to label a section on them "Various IP's". Now I have to go and verify whether some info added by them is correct or not, because they may just have been acting seriously in a recent edit, just to catch me out... Have a cream donut on me, I'm urging one to be sent to you telekinetically as we speak... Yes I am mad. Graham :) 18:31, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
It's ok with me that it's gone, though that was not my 'intent' whatever that means. I actually felt, once I saw all the "keep" votes, badly that I had even nominated it. The style, and the fact that the same anon user was posting a bunch of new pages of people all of the same group, made me think it was a nonfamous person. But I know nothing about hiphop, and apparently I was wrong. But I would have left it there, just because I feel that once something has been nominated on vfd, that nomination becomes community property. Anyway, not gonna fight it. Thanks for checking with me. moink 19:55, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I understand that you're frustrated. Please see what you can do to leave the Harri Porten discussion on the vfd page. If that entails leaving Anthony's argument there too, so be it. You, Anthony and I all know that moving a discussion off vfd to a talk page reduces the chance of getting a consensus that reflects the community's viewpoint. Leaving the tally helps, but leaving the discussion would be better. I think you & Anthony can compromise by leaving the whole thread there. moink 21:57, 5 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Hello Harrison, We are currently trying to get the wording right and thus replaced wrong ones with hopefully more appropriate titles. In addition, we streamlined the text and added a more editorial style to the concept explanation to Customer Experience Management (CEM). Hope, that is okay with you? Bye, Karsten
Congratulations! 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. Good luck. Angela. 11:03, Mar 6, 2004 (UTC)
Why is he my vandal all of a sudden? What have I done to deserve my very own vandal???
Have you included his latest details to the portfolio of evidence on Wikipedia:Vandalism in progress? -- Graham :) 16:05, 6 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Why are you opposed to allowing this to be a redirect? Is it because the phrase is offensive (using the term fag, for example)? I mean, there is an article titled fag, and I don't see you wanting to delete that... This isn't a huge deal to me or anything, but I followed the story at the time, I like Skid Row, and I went to school in a time and place when "fag" was the insult used, something I always found curious. Why is/was this insult so acceptable and common, wheras others (racial, political, disability based insults) were less so? Anyways, I'd like to know what you think, and why. I'm not a nut, or a bigot (IMO anyhow), I just want some random expletive like me to be able to type this into the search, tap go (like I did...), and find the content I wrote.

I am the author of the "California Plan" and "Hell-Bent for Election."
I am not sure I understand correctly what you asked me about. Wikipedia is not supposed to contain original works, because everything in Wikipedia has to be verifiable. Original works, should go in Wikisource. Here are some links: Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Verifiability. Let me know if this is not what you meant. Dori | Talk 04:51, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)
If the article was put here by the person who wrote the original source, and the thing being discussed is an actual thing (I have no idea if California Plan is real or not), then there's no problem with keeping it. If it was put here by someone who did not write it originally, or it it's just somebody's pet project with no supporting proof of its existence, then it should be deleted.

Hi, I replied at User talk:Angela#vfd belonging on vfd. Angela. 11:57, Mar 7, 2004 (UTC)
Dear Texture -- thanks a bundle for taking up the vader/anakin splitting. I put that on cleanup hoping against hope that someone would actually do it... and was thrilled to see such a fast response. +sj+ 13:54, 2004 Mar 7 (UTC)
I understand your concern but I disagree. Any partial extraction of wikipedia contents is bound to have broken links anyway, so i don't see how breaking a link here and there will make a difference. I'll bring it up on the mailing list however to see what other people think. theresa knott 09:21, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Oops, sorry I accidentally recreated Jean Nicolet... I didn't understand that the edit conflict meant that the page had been deleted. Isomorphic 17:10, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I also always thought it would be kind of cool if, when a page goes through VfD, the VfD discussion be put on the article's talk page before it's deleted (if it is deleted); that way we wouldn't have to re-hash if it's re-created later. - Hephaestos|§ 17:49, 8 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I was trying to change my user name from Nhamblen to Nathan Hamblen but couldn't figure out how. If you could do that for me (and delete the new acct) that would be great. Other
I just wanted to point out that you handled discussing a controvercial topic particularly well, something I've found shockingly rare on the wiki ;). Also, I want to apologise for suggesting you hadn't read the article, but considering the time span, I hope you can understand why I considered that a possibility. Anyhow that would have been yet another reason for flaming or being unhelpful, which you not only avoided, but prevented completely by being as helpful as possible :) Great work! Cheers, Sam Spade 03:35, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Thank you. I'm still having heartache over the recent sentence but you created a fair representation of the religions problems. (With, hopefully, a reduction in the intensity of the narrative.) - Texture 03:39, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Vandalism has a specific legal meaning. You have accused other editors of vandalizing user pages, but the actions which you cite do not cross the legal threshold of vandalism. Your attempt to describe communicative effort as vandalism is innappropriate and your threats to interfere with the access of other users ring hollow. I suggest you spend your time improving the accuracy of Wikipedia content, and allow others to communicate freely.
Hi - what did User:67.74.103.79 do? I can only see two contributions - and neither are threats. Secretlondon 21:17, 9 Mar 2004 (UTC)
That's an interesting bug I've not seen before. You can't delete Image:Image:PyreneanShepSmooth wb.jpg because it doesn't exist, but for some reason, when you go to that page, it shows an image and pretends that nothing links to it. You're really seeing Image:PyreneanShepSmooth wb.jpg, but with a double "image:" in the filename. This happens on all images by the looks of it. Image:Image:Aster.jpg, for example, does the same thing, as did a few others I tried. Angela. 22:01, Mar 9, 2004 (UTC)
Acutally, I stole the idea from User:Angela/useful_stuff. But thanks! -- Seth Ilys
Are you saying that possible copyright infringements which don't cover the entire page aren't supposed to be listed on possible copyright infringments? Anthony DiPierro 01:50, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
What are you going to do about the Gore page and the 2000 website? That is confusing whether or not one can use it after a company is gone. Also, how can the issues section be copyvio?
Chris
Without giving me any chance to respond, you deleted one of the images I uploaded for Lukla. I don't think this deletion was a candidate for speedy deletion and possibly required it to be put on vfd. At least it would have given me a chance to correct the terms I posted. Or can you provide a prior discussion/policy that allows this sort of unilateral deletion on your part? RedWolf 03:52, Mar 10, 2004 (UTC)
Hi Texture, I see that you protected Al Gore. Al Gore rhymes with edit war, after all. Since you've edited the article twice the same day you protected it, some users might interpret that as a conflict of interest. I realize your intentions were not to be coy, but such action can lead others to misinterpret your actions. In the future, consider asking another admin (who is not involved) to protect the article. Keep up the good work, Kingturtle 04:15, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Slooooooooooow down with your newfound powers. Deleting stuff is serious business! I've undeleted Liver transplantation. The article may only have headings at the moment, but it was only created today. IMO it is highly likely that the anon user set up the structure of the page first and is planning to add content over the next few days. Now what will he think if he comes back tomorrow to find his page deleted:-( Let's watch the article for a week first.There is no hurry. theresa knott 17:36, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Dear Texture, we do not delete pages to erase the copyvio from their history. I dont know where Anthony got that idea, maybe you can tell me if i am wrong. I removed the copyvio because it was substituted by a stub. Please exercise caution in listening to Anthony's advices. He is a bit confused. Cheers, Muriel 18:21, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
dude, why are you deleting the lemon party wiki? it's an internet icon just like goatse.
I just felt the urge to thank you on behalf of the community for deleting those 20-odd (or more) pages. Boring job well done=great job! :) (I guess you did it one by one? otherwise, if it was in a batch, forget this compliment and go on working :( Pfortuny 20:42, 10 Mar 2004 (UTC)
