Please adopt your state

I have now completed the transition from state list to articles on Scouting in each state, as per Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Scouting/RulesStandards, for merger and improvement of articles. Please find your state and help fill in some blanks! Thanks, YiS, Chris 09:40, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles For Deletion

Hi, one or both of the following situations applies to you, and you may therefore be interested in related discussions.

You expressed an opinion about the proposed deletion of an article concerning one of the first 200 verses of the Gospel of Matthew. Would you therefore like to join a centralised discussion about the other 199 articles at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/200 verses of Matthew
You expressed an opinion about the proposed deletion of an article concerning one of the first 19 verses of the 20th Chapter of the Gospel of John. Would you therefore like to join a centralised discussion about the other 18 articles at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Verses of John 20

You may also be interested in a discussion of whether or not the entire text of a whole bible chapter should be contained in the 6 articles concerning those specific chapters, and whether or not they should only use the translations favoured by fundamentalists. This is being discussed at Wikipedia:Centralized discussion/Whole bible chapter text.

substing

Thanks for the reminder, I'm a fan of subster, but mind you, in which talk I forgot to subst a tempalte? -- ( drini's page ☎ ) 00:24, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

More substing

Thanks for reminding me. I have added {{unsigned}} to my brain's List of templates that should always be subst'ed, which up to now had only included user warning templates. Kusma (討論) 03:34, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scouting Barnstar

Did you see this proposal? Scouting Barnstarn --evrik 19:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you go back and vote one more time. We're trying to build a consensus on a star. Thanks! evrik 18:22, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scouting Barnstar - Where to put it?

I believe that the award that was created for the Scouting Barnstar should be a topical award. Scouting is a world-wide movement that has served youth in many countries for more than 100 years and represents the youth of the world at the United Nations.

It has been suggested that the award be given as a PUA. The first line on the PUA page reads, "This page provides a collection of awards created by individual Wikipedians." The Scouting Barnstar was created by the WikiProject Scouting.

Currently, the is a discussion going on at Wikipedia_talk:Barnstars#Removed_the_scouting_barnstar. Please comment there if you are interested.evrik

Reply to speedy deletion notification

Hi, could I please have an explanation as to what Cambridge and Oxford Uni Labour Club's entries have that make it notable that Hull's did not have? User:M20tgd

Cambridge University Labour Club - Here's one

Oxford University Labour Club - Here's another

Any judgement should be consistent. If this club goes, they should go.

Jam the student radio station have one, as does Hull University Union, even though it says hardly anything.

Uni labour club has half a century of history and activity, famous alumni, one of whom still holds high office (that's not a threat!) and is very politically active. Your democrat club may not be significant, but this uni club is.

Who do I appeal to in order to get it back? M20tgd

Cambridge University Labour Club

I removed your speedy tag from this article. Considering this is a club that has existed since the early 20th century and has had some notable members, I didn't feel it was speediable. If you wish, you can nominate it for deletion but IMHO it would probably get kept. Regards, howch e ng {chat} 20:02, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todesfaust speedy

FYI, I already tagged Todesfaust for WP:SD and an admin rejected it. That all happened in the last hour or two. That's why it's in Afd now. —Wknight94 (talk) 04:18, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like a plan... —Wknight94 (talk) 04:22, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, it worked! You're a genius! :) —Wknight94 (talk) 11:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Newbie alert: Not sure I'm doing this right

Trying to respond to your edit of List of OA Lodges "Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices", I was in the middle of adding lodges for all fifty states, and that is why the one AFD you posted was overwritten. You'll see I left the rest... Robhmac 06:36, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the the right place to answer and thank you for your talk on my page? Thanks for the warning. What happened it that someone added the AFD warning (are these new??) while I was in the middle of an edit, then I saw them pop up on all the other subpages, so I was careful to leave them. Yes, I'd like to contribute if I have time. Robhmac 06:49, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Molecular and Cellular Biology

I just wanted to make sure that you knew about the Molecular and Cellular Biology WikiProject. --JWSchmidt 17:16, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Annoying AfD behaviors list

You're welcome. I had thought about putting something similar on my own page, but you covered most of the bases, and quite well.

I just had to add the two things which most annoy me (having had several instances of deletion-related vandalism on my own page).

Perhaps you should have some archived examples, like "The Walking Game" (probably the classic WP:NFT). Daniel Case 21:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Afd SIA fleet

Sorry; I forgot to put the subst in there. Dbinder 18:04, 28 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

proposed policy

Hi, you recently commented on bible-verse articles, and may therefore be interested in commenting about a proposed policy covering roughly 50 specific verses:

Category war

Please consider going to Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion#Category:Boy_Scouts_of_America_controversy_and_Category:Boy_Scouts_of_America_controversies_to_.28he_didn.27t_say_what.29 and voting on this (we want delete) and the "Contentious issues" listing right below it (we want keep). There are constant edit wars on the "Controversies about..." article, so I don't really worry about it, but I would like to keep the contentious issues grouped together in the project as they relate to Scouting. Rlevse 11:58, 29 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

AfD

Not even editing my own text? Sorry, didn't know that, thought I ought to remove sarcasm since it might come across as inappropiate. Incidentally, you may be interested to know I have taken comments on board regarding that article, and renamed it to List of Buffyverse-related topics to bring it in line with 'structured lists' which wikipedia suggests (such as those here: List of topic lists) -- Paxomen 00:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The text said to not remove this notice until the issues had been resolved, which I believe they have. Personally, I considered it vandalism to mark a page that is still being written with a deletion notice instead of contacting the person creating the page first to discuss the issues humanely. Therefore, for these two reasons, I felt perfectly justified in removing the AfD notice. Sorry if that is not correct in your view. NThurston 18:25, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A sincere question - who gets to decide when to remove the AfD tags? It seems unfair to leave them on even though the original concerns have been addressed, because they inevitably attract other deletionists who are merely anarchists. NThurston 18:36, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Thank you for the heads-up on the talk connected with the Powderhorn article, I appreciate it. Yours in Scouting, Chris Chris 17:41, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Afd

Pardon? I did not suggest anything get deleted. Huh? Chris 05:17, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

Did you know? has been updated. A fact from the article Owasippe Scout Reservation, which you recently created, has been featured in that section on the Main Page. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Sarah Channick

Perhaps you are right, I was under the impression that she was hit around ~7PM and she was indeed a freshmen. I'll give you the benefit of a doubt on this one. --TheAznSensation 20:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I beat you to it. ;-) I hope I did it right (I believe I retained all the active discussions but am not sure). If you disagree with what was archived and what was not, please boldly fix it. Thanks man! - L1AM (talk) 09:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for friendly remainder...

Thanks for friendly remainder... but I did sign with the --~~~~Insert non-formatted text here. I believe it was a problem of my preferences. We see now: --Francisco Valverde 16:51, 3 March 2006 (UTC) (so... now it works)[reply]

Yes, but...

In reference to Zeta Phi Rho: Yes, but it is not much help anyway. Should we just delete the External links then...? Anyway, I do not know if you'll agree, but this article has no independant source, just their own homepages. So I think there is still a case of POV, concerning sources.

fair use images not allowed on user pages

Sorry, but per Wikipedia:Fair use criteria, fair use images are not allowed on user pages. Please remove those you have on your user page in your user boxes (such as the Order of the Arrow image). Thank you. howch e ng {chat} 22:09, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

My 'experiment'

It would seem that you mistook my high-brow vandalism as an experiment in the functions of this wiki-encyclopedia. However, not only do I understand how it works, but I am also aware of many of the guidelines one should follow when editing. I hope my true intentions are clear now. Thanks for patronizing me! 160.39.226.116 17:17, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UIUC Page

The anon user is at it again. Probably has violated WP:3RR already. And also inserted the same copyvio edit from http://www.uiuc.edu/navigation/buildings/plots.top.html and the huge list of fraternities. Thanks. --Ragib 02:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of shock sites nominated for deletion for a fourth time

The article List of shock sites has been nominatied for deletion again. I noticed that during its past nominations for deletion you voted to have the article deleted. If you have time, please support me in my attempt to have this article deleted by casting your vote in favour of deletion. Thank you. - Conrad Devonshire 08:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Scouting article work

If you are getting this, it is because you do or did work on Scouting articles (see Wikipedia:WikiProject_Scouting#Participants_and_primary_areas_of_interest).

As the Scouting WikiProject has been formed since early January 2006, we've had many great improvements made in this area of Wiki and I want to personally thank everyone for their help. We don't always agree on things, but we keep moving forward. YIS, Rlevse 22:09, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
