Hunter in the Dark

Hi - Just FYI - I have removed the CSD tag that you placed on this article as it is not blank (and this tag was meant for blank articles). Please make sure you are familiar with WP:CSD criteria, and you may want to take a look at WP:BEFORE as this book look quite notable to me. Thanks.    7   ^{talk | Δ |}   23:55, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of talkpage stuff

It's pretty much up to you, of course, and please don't take this as criticism, but could I put a plea in to you to not scrape your talkpage clean quite as often as you do? Due to, er, past events (shall we say) there are likely to be a few editors watching this page; some of us might like to comment on things here to mutual benefit and irrespective of things in the past (I found WP:R for the first time due to comments here, for example, then passed it on to you).

There are some very good bots around that will automagically archive threads of your talkpage once they've been inactive for a defined period (I use Miszabot, though other bots are available). It might be good to take a look.

As I say, this isn't a criticism — just a request ☺ Tonywalton ^Talk 00:25, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Admin only? Not at all. Bots will archive any old talkpage, including article talkpages. As I say, I use Miszabot; all I've done is put some config at the top of my talkpage:

{{User:MiszaBot/config
|algo = old(5d)
|archive = User talk:Tonywalton/Archive-%(monthnameshort)s-%(year)d
}}

Stick that at the top of your talkpage, with appropriate changes. Obviously, the target archive would need to be changed from "Tonywalton", the name is up to you - Archive-%(monthnameshort)s-%(year)d makes archives named "Archive-Jun-2009" and so on. The archive frequency is also up to you - 5d will archive a thread if it's inactive for five days. See User:MiszaBot/Archive_HowTo for full details. Cheers, Tonywalton ^Talk 01:09, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

This is a test thread

Leave this thread alone, lonely and unanswered, and see the archivebot do its work! Sackful of swallows (talk) 01:19, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Notability

There seems to be some sort of consensus, which I can't find right now (I'm at work) that university professors are inherently notable. I disagree, but it's become one of those things like "all schools are notable" that isn't worth arguing about. Since the speedy's been declined, you're free to nominate it to AfD, which is the proper procedure anyway - that way it's exposed to a full debate. Acroterion _(talk) 15:04, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Strange...

Hi HellinaBucket, You just beat me ;) to adding a CSD to Veca pupu miza. The strange thing is that for me, the CSD header doesn't appear. It does show up in the diff view. Odd. Does it show up for you? TheSmuel (talk) 20:32, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks - it still doesn't show on the main article page for me. How odd. Must be something wrong at my end :) TheSmuel (talk) 20:37, 8 June 2009 (UTC)}

AfD

When you do an AfD nomination, you need to put in all the formatting according to the AfD instruction page so it transcludes properly into the main AfD page - right now Bonnie Richardson's in AfD space, but doesn't show. You might want to take a look at the instructions and format it so everybody can see and it can follow protocol. I personally disagree with deletion for the reasons I state (and declined a speedy), but it's good to have the discussion, so no worries there. Acroterion _(talk) 18:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing it. Acroterion _(talk) 22:25, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

If you look again in Preferences/Gadgets, you'll see a checkbox for Twinkle, which semi-automates reverts, PRODs, AfDs, vandalism reports, all sorts of things (assuming you're using Firefox, Safari or Opera and not Internet Exploder). However: take it from one who's seen the dismal cycle.

• Act 1:New, enthusiastic editor enables Twinkle.
• Act 2: Editor reports vandals, tags speedies, usernames, bites newbies, all the while feeling productive and hugely useful.
• Act 3: AN/I, admins annoyed at having to un-bite, un-tag, un-report; new, productive-feeling user scolded, restricted from using semi-automated tools, shame, tears.

Please be careful and judicious in using what is a very powerful tool. If you start feeling productive and useful, reconsider what you're doing. You are still responsible for everything you do and say, regardless of any automated edit summaries. Acroterion _(talk) 23:19, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

I'll read over the twinkle info, sounds useful but maybe not what I need at this point since I am still learning a lot of the ropes around here. Thanks for letting me know and after I research I'll know if I want to dabble...Hell in a Bucket (talk) 23:24, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Your edit summary says it all. At least it will spare you from manually formatting an AfD. Acroterion _(talk) 23:32, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Apparently I allready have Twinkle, I just rarely use firefox. I see theprocess and how quick it can be. Thanks for your help, I might use it but I agree it needs the correct caution. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 23:34, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

{{helpme}}

I tried to set up miza bot for 2 days but it doesn;t seem ti work, can you help me set it up or check what I did wrong? thanks Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:34, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi there. I'm not quite sure which part is wrong, and I don't know the full syntax of Miza with regards to the names you've chosen for your archive, and the days thing. What I do know is, the following - on my own talk page - works fine. So I'd suggest using this format, unless you really hate the idea of the archives being called just 'archive1', etc.

{{User:MiszaBot/config
|maxarchivesize = 100K
|counter = 10
|algo = old(100h)
|archive = User talk:Chzz/Archive %(counter)d
}}

I suggest using that, and just changing the 100 to 24, and change the counter to 1 (and of course changing the user name, thanks!)

I then have this bit, which indexes the archives;

{{User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn|target=User talk:Chzz/Archive Index|mask=User talk:Chzz/Archive <#>|leading_zeros=0|indexhere=no|template=}}

(again change user name)

You also probably want some kind of an archive box at the top of your page so that you can access them. I use this;

{{archive box|auto=yes|search=yes}}

...to put all of that lot together and make things easy - what I suggest is, that you copy the following block and replace your existing {{User:MiszaBot/config... }} with this;

{{User:MiszaBot/config
|maxarchivesize = 100K
|counter = 1
|algo = old(48h)
|archive = User talk:HellinaBucket/Archive %(counter)d
}}
{{User:HBC Archive Indexerbot/OptIn|target=User talk:HellinaBucket/Archive Index|mask=User talk:HellinaBucket/Archive <#>|leading_zeros=0|indexhere=no|template=}}
{{archive box|auto=yes|search=yes}}

Hope this helps.

For more help, you can either;

• Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
• Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
• Talk to us live, with this or this.

Park Vista Hotel

I'm sorry that i removed the speedy deletion tag, but i just figured that i at least try to expand the article a little more, but i'm going to give up on that for now, since i couldn't find anymore info on it, so basically i'm giving up on the article for now. I will try to re-create the article in the future. However, i have a request. Can i redirect the hotel article to the city article if that's okay? Ryanbstevens (talk) 04:09, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The main problem is that the hotel is intself unremarkable. Let the admin chaeck and decide. I'vwe only nominated it./ Hell in a Bucket (talk) 04:10, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Silver Gulch Brewing & Bottling Company

I received a message indicating this article was nominated for speedy delivery due to the possibility of it representing advertising, which I fully understand. However, I am in no way affiliated with the company in question, nor do I have anything to gain financially from writing the article. I live in Anchorage and am a beer lover. I also created the article for Midnight Sun Brewing Company, in a continuing effort to compile information on the craft brewing industry in Alaska, and dealt with the same message then. Thank you. Alyeska2112 (talk) 17:44, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

we need reliable third party sources for this beer, in my opnion just because it is a microbrewery it doesn't carry notability with it. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 18:06, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm not sure what third party sources you're referring to, though I did make sure to include a review of the brewery and rating of their beers from RateBeer. Also, keep in mind that in an enclosed economy like Alaska, a stand-alone microbrewery does indeed "carry notability", particularly when it is the most northerly such enterprise in the country. I value your guidance, but I disagree with your opinion. Alyeska2112 (talk) 18:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

The other brewery you cite has award winning beer. Is there any articles by third party sources that make this microbrewery standout as a notable organization? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 18:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair point. I'll do some research on any awards the brewery may have earned. However, I think the very existence of a brewery in Alaska, coupled with its curious proximity to the Arctic Circle, still entitle it to its own article, albeit a brief one. Thanks for your help. Alyeska2112 (talk) 18:45, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

And I can understand your points as well that to survive the company must be pretty burly. However that being said it doesn't nec mean it is notable either. I think that it is well written though and if there is an award of a blurb about their beers in another magizine I'd be happy to see it here. Good luck finding sources. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 18:47, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I have added an additional third party source citing the brewery's size as the second largest in the state (a notable distinction), as well as a link to a Modern Brewery Age article on the difficulties of brewing in Alaska, which features Silver Gulch prominently. If I learn of awards earned by the brewery, I will add those as well. Alyeska2112 (talk) 19:20, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

Articles for deletion nomination of West Valley Volunteer Fire Department

I have nominated West Valley Volunteer Fire Department, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/West Valley Volunteer Fire Department. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:30, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

my main suggestion is anything that is notable, such as newspaper articles of fires you've worked on or anything that establishes your dept as one that is above the others. Again respects. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 15:32, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

No fire department is above any other. We are all equal fire fighters and place our lives on the line. It saddens me to hear you think that one is better than the other based on size and funding. So, I'll look for something to add to make the thousands of lives we've saved notable to you. Check the article in a few hours and it will be changed. I hope it meets your personal approval.

I'm sorry you seem to be laboring under the view that this article has to meet my personal opinion. I believe that it is worth the time to debate the article with the Wikipedia communit yincluding more experienced editors then either yourself or I are. i am just trying to help maintain high standards. please read WP:AGF. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 23:28, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

I added a few more sections including a very big fire event with links to the story Fox News did on it. If this enough or do you need more? Let me know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Goodtoinform (talk • contribs) 00:33, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

You need to make any mention of improvements and sourcing and "keepability" at the AFD discussion. Dlohcierekim 00:36, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

This has been an interesting experience for me. As you likely realized, I am very new to Wikipedia. I didn't know there was a process for deleting articles, and so I thought your actions were arbitrary. At first I thought it was a tiff between the two of us. I didn’t realize there was a special page for voting until another editor told me about it on my talk page. I am impressed and surprised at how organized and structured Wikipedia is. I feel embarrassed and immature now that I see the truth.

I have to apologize to you. I felt like your speedy deletion was a general attack on small fire agencies. You'd be surprised how many of us volunteer groups get belittled by rich and fully staffed big city departments. But despite this, my reaction was both unprofessional and unwarranted. I have read the protocols and my knowledge of how Wikipedia works has grown a hundred-fold. I do hope the article lives, I am of the opinion that all government agencies should be listed. However if not, it will be because ‘’’I’’’ broke the rules, not because of a personal thing.

I have created a few other articles. I would be very grateful if you would take a look at them and let me know if any of them are also against the policies so I can improve them and make them fit the rules. I have also heavily edited other articles. My first user name was Inform154, but I lost the password and made this new one.

Advice

Hello,

I don't mean to be rude, so please don't take this that way... You recently nominated Global Adjustments for deletion. It appears you made no attempt to find sources for the article before doing so as the company is clearly notable. It is strongly advised that make a good faith attempt to find sources before sending an article to AfD, as AfD is not a venue to force cleanup. Article on notable subjects won't be deleted just because they are poorly written and/or incomplete, so sending them to AfD is a waste of everyone's time. Instead just tag the article with {{advert}}, {{unreferenced}}, or another appropriate Cleanup templates if you are unwilling/unable to fix the problems yourself. See also, WP:BEFORE.

Thank you and have a nice day, ThaddeusB (talk) 17:09, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

you are the second person tocounsel me on this so I have to assume I'm missing something. I've review wp:before and thought I was acting in that spirit. How do I avoid things like this in the future? Do you have any suggestions? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 18:02, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

as a start, always search Google. for common phrases like this use the term in quotes and add something distinguishing, such as "India"; then actually check at least the first two pages of results. To remove blogs and the company's own postings, use Google News Archive cf. [1] and for material outside familiar territory, learn the names of the major reliable sources. DGG (talk) 18:32, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Here is basically what I try to do:

• In all cases, it is helpful to check the official webpage, as people/companies/whatever are helpful enough to link to third party coverage right on their own page.
• If it's a company: Do a Google news search with the full name in quotes: "CrazySoft Productions". If the company doesn't have a generic name, try a shorter version of the name: CrazySoft. If the name is too generic try adding either a general term for what they make or the place they are located: CrazySoft movies or CrazySoft Ohio. By default, the search only shows you stories form the last 30 days so it is important to hit the "all dates" link in the archive section. I ignore things that look like PR or routine coverage - "CrazySoft announced" "CrazySoft released" etc - unless the source is of top quality. Usually 2 good articles are enough to warrant inclusion in Wikipedia, but Google does sometimes let in some blogs and other junk so I try to check the actual article instead of just relying on the hit. If that fails, I do a regular internet search as a sanity check to make sure the company isn't super popular and dig harder if it seems it is popular
• If it is a product: same as above, about also check Google books - products are much more likely to be reviewed in books than in newspapers
• If it is a band/singer: Check Allmusic.com first. If they have a bio or album review for the artist, the artist is almost certainly notable. If they have basic info, but no review I do an internet search & news search, as these cases are notable 30-40% of the time. If they have nothing, the artist is rarely notable but I always do a quick news/internet check just to be sure. When searching for a generic name adding "music" or "band" is usually helpful. If the artist seems to have a lot popularity (hits), but I don't see anything useful immediately I add "review" or "Name of album" to the search.
• If it is a movie or actor: I check imdb.com. As a comprehensive database it is usually pretty easy to figure out if a movie or actor is notable from imdb alone. Actors usually require at least two non-bit parts; the easiest way for a movie to qualify is to be critically reviewed & imdb has a link to 3rd party review. They also list any awards a movie won (useful for small indy films). If the number of fan votes is more than a few hundred the movie is almost always notable, and often is even without that many votes. IMDB's critic's list isn't complete, so a site like rottentomatoes.com is good for borderline cases.
• If it is a professor or other academic type: I always check Google Scholar first (accessible under "more" at Google). A professor is notable if their work has had a significant impact on their field. The exact number of cites required for "significant impact" varies by field, but generally if they have at least 1 paper with 100 cites or a couple with 30+ they are notable. Most academics list all their papers at their official websites under "CV" or "Curriculum Vitae" so it is easy to make sure the paper doesn't belong to somebody who happens to have the same name (although it is usually easy to tell by subject matter alone). If that fails I try a news search, although that is rarely helpful.
• If it is a book or author: I usually check Amazon.com first. They often list 3rd party reviews in the product information. One review on Amazon is usually enough, as if there is one there are bound to be others (Amazon only lists reviews from major sources). Be careful though, as they sometimes list the publishers description as a "review" with the words "supplied by the publisher" at the bottom. Amazon's rank is also helpful sometimes. If a book is ranked less than 100K and wasn't published super recently it is probably notable (the top 100K is mostly newly published books, so for a non-new book to rank that high it has to have continual sales). If that fails, I always do a news and internet search, adding terms like "author" or "review" if needed. If it is a scholarly type book, Google scholar is helpful to determine if it has had an impact on its field.
• Anything that isn't notable by itself, but is part of a notable entity should be redirected when possible (and merged when needed) - Songs to albums; albums to bands; presidents to the organization they head; products to companies; books to authors; etc.

I think that covers are the things that come up routinely, but if you have more questions feel free to ask. --ThaddeusB (talk) 05:03, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

I thought of a couple more tips I forgot to mention:

• When searching for a person things can get tricky since they may be known by some form other than what the Wikipedia page says. For example, most coverage is done in "First Last" form but a lot of Wikipedia editors use either "First Middle Last" or "First M. Last" so it pays to try a few combination and/or to not put the name in quotes until you figure out what he subject is primarily known by. The subject's official webpage might be of help in determining their preferred (and thus usually most used) name form.
• Sometime Wikipedia article have typos in their subject or use an uncommon version of the title. These should be redirected to the existing article, if there is one, or fixed by moving the page. Typos can make finding sources hard, obviously, so be on the lookout for possible corrections
• ALL secondary (equivalent to high school level in the US) are considered notable; most primary schools aren't, but can be redirected to an article about the school district as a whole or to the town in which they reside
• ALL inhabited or formally inhabited places that officially exist are considered notable (e.g. town of 10 people is notable); neighborhoods or other unofficial groups of people usually are not

db tag

Hello It appears that you tagged Monsters of Folk with {{db-bio}} while I was working on it. I am a little flummoxed and I frankly don't understand your actions. First of all, at the time, the page contained {{inuse}} and I was in the process of editing it. I don't know why you refused to wait until this tag was taken off the page or until it had gone unedited for several hours. Consequently, I apparently deleted your tag without even noticing it; this is precisely why {{inuse}} exists. Furthermore, your rationale was an appeal to Wikipedia:CSD#A7, which explicitly states that it does not apply to articles about albums. If you care to explain yourself, please do so on my talk. If not, please allow me to give you gentle encouragement to consider your edits more carefully. Thank you for your time. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 03:13, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Deletion

Can you plz give me reason that why should this article will be deleted ?

see the article List of bridges and tunnels in Macau, it have the same content so why it cant be deleted ??

Colossal (talk) 16:13, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I nominated that one for deletion as well. My belief is that bridges and tunnels are not notable just because they are built. Now the San Francisco Bridge or something that is historically notable that would be different. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:16, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

so nominate this article as well Bridges and tunnels in New York City.

Colossal (talk) 16:25, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

notice there is a difference there, For example the Brooklyn Bridge is notable as the oldest suspension bridge in US I believe. That is why an article like that can stay, if you can demonstrate notability with teh others I'm glad to have them too.Hell in a Bucket (talk) 16:27, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Your speedy deletion tagging of Criticism of Anti-Defamation League

This is not really criticism, but an article about such criticism, as a branch off of the main article, Anti-Defamation League. Such practice is common to keep articles as short as possible, especially if the new sub-article has enough content, references and notability to merit its own article anyway. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 17:47, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I think you should reconsider. Controversial organizations that do good work, like the ADL and Human rights Watch attract critics who overwhelm their pages. User:Cobaltbluetony is quite correct in pointing out that its is routine solution.Historicist (talk) 18:01, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: slowing down

Please consider that there is a reason why people are asking you to slow down. While most of your taggings are technically correct, you should take into account that most new articles are created by new users and usually not created all in one swoop. For example, an article that starts as a few sentences which don't indicate any importance for the subject is often a first draft. The creator is often busy gathering more information and will come back to edit it again very shortly.

However, if they come back to see that they are already being told their work is crap they might just say "screw it" and leave forever. If you give them a chance, the worst that can happen is a bad article sitting around for a few hours and being read by virtually nobody. The worst that can happen is that you chase away a potentially useful contributor. See also WP:Don't bite the newbies --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:50, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I agree with ThaddeusB. Additionally, please do not categorize legitimate points by fellow editors as "whining." We made an extremely valid request of you. either way (talk) 00:01, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Which newbie did I bite? If asked I always explain why I did something, and if wrong I do apologize. Now unless you are prepared to give examples please do not post here as I will not accept or agree to abstracts from your mind(s). Hell in a Bucket (talk) 00:14, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Please note that the direction to the BITE essay was only added as a see also, and wasn't meant to imply you had "bit" anyone per say. My main arguments hold true even if you ignore that line entirely. --ThaddeusB (talk) 00:20, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

And, actually, looking through a bunch of the AFDs you've created lately, I'd suggest you step away from AFDs for awhile until you get a better sense of the policies and guidelines for articles here. Far too many of your AFDs are being kept which suggests that you don't fully understand the article guidelines. Try examining already open AFDs to see more "proper" arguments for discussions. AFDs may help improve some articles that are kept, but overall, it is more just a waste of time for them to go through AFD just to be kept overwhelmingly. either way (talk) 00:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I guess you didn't read the above comment, without a specific reference DO NOT POST ANYTHING ON MY PAGE.

I have neither the time nor inclination to read your mind about what you may or may not need. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 00:40, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Sure, here's some evidence for you. In your last 100 Wikipedia space edits, you've edited about 27 AFDs (the vast majority were your nominations it appears--probably 25/26 out of 27). Here are some of the ones that stood out as part of my point:

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egg and chips (using AFD to suggest merges or transwiki instead of deletion)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Queens International Film Festival (likely to be kept)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Egg wash (will be kept)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bridges and tunnels in Macau (likely to be kept)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of bridges and tunnels in Dubai (will be kept)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/McKinnon Gym (using AFD to suggest merge)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Global Adjustments (could have been improved rather than AFD'd. Additionally, withdrawn AFDs don't require a "Snow" keep)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Replay Solutions (will be kept)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jacob Rumbiak (kept)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Bonnie Richardson (will be kept)
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of United States insurance companies (will be kept)

That's over 40% of your AFD nominations in the last 6 days or so that have been, or will be, closed as keep. This suggests to me that you don't fully understand our guidelines and policies. If you took time to do a quick Google News search for references, rather than nominating the article in the first 50 seconds, you'd reduce the admin workload and reduce the AFD back log (among other benefits to the project). either way (talk) 01:25, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

See Act 2 of the three-act play I described to you a few days ago. Your all-caps comment above is not a constructive response to legitimate cricism.Acroterion _(talk) 03:16, 15 June 2009 (UTC

I do not mind legitimate criticism but when there is nothing to go with it, it's a little hard to swallow, I tried asking nicely no one listened so I typed in bold caps. I still fundementally disagree with the above assesment even with the "evidence" cited above. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 05:22, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

The "evidence" doesn't prove your point in my mind. This is why I classified your posting as whining, I do not agree with you, I state it kindly yet yuo still come here to whine. Please stop, I do not mind legitimate criticism but some fo the posting above is B.S. on your part. Let me clarify just for example the film festival article, this is nothing more then a one lineblurb advertising their festival this year. I nominated for speedy it was declined, so I opened the AFD, Also bonnie Richardson was barely accepted under WP:Athlete, God i love pages that look like a myspace profile page. What about Mckinnon Gym, Does anyone relaly care where the basketball team practices? No one cares, Should be deleted or merged into the main article at the very least.

List of bridges

i understand wht is notable ! the main thing here which i want to understand you is the list of bridges which i had listed there are not notable ???

is the sixth crossing across Dubai creek is not notable, as the bridge upon completion will become worlds longest Arch bridge, not tell me wht is notable.

• Al Maktoum Bridge
• Floating Bridge, Dubai
• Al Garhoud Bridge
• Business Bay Crossing
• Dubai smile

are these all bridges are not known all over the world , these bridges are famous.The basic logic behind the creation of this article is to make ease for the readers to find how many bridges are there in Dubai, and tunnels also.See the following articles:

• List of bridges in Singapore
• Bridges in Kiev
• List of bridges in Moscow
• List of bridges in Saint Petersburg
• List of bridges in Montreal
• List of bridges in Maribor
• List of bridges in Stockholm
• List of bridges in Rome
• List of bridges in Toronto
• List of bridges in Ottawa
• List of bridges in Paris
• List of bridges in Florida
• List of bridges in Hong Kong
• List of bridges in Cambridge

now tell me are all the bridges listed in the above articles are not notable, abcolutely not !!! so can you plz remove the tag from my article.hope you got my point.

LOL

Um, thanks for the "welcome" to Wikipedia. You may want to look up what assuming good faith means though, as I said nothing about your motivations whatsoever. It is a fact that you regularly nominate articles for AfD that have plenty of valid sources available. I am sorry my pointing this out offended you, but it is not assuming bad faith to point out a fact.

Also, you may want to take your own advice instead of dismissing valid criticism as "whining" and "non-sense." --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:17, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Pointing out mistakes do not bother me, only pointing out mistakes without valid proof. In fairness some of the articles I've nominated for AFD were invalid, that much I admit. I do not like my concerns being dismissed in a personal attack unambigously directed to me. Now you are more the welcome to post your concerns here but please show me the proof. I promise if I think I'm wrong (and often times I am) I will come back and apoligize. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 20:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

It was not intended as a personal attack. I am sorry you saw it that way. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Incidentally, I actually do think you are acting in good faith. You view your actions as correct for the encyclopedia and I understand that. What myself and others have trying to get you to realize is that there are better ways to go about what you are doing.

I understand it is easier to instantly speedy delete tag every problem article the second it appears. I understand it is easier to send questionable article straight to AfD rather than looking for sources. What you need to understand is that what is easier isn't always best. By tagging things so quickly, you are potentially chasing off valuable contributors. (Of course vandalism/attack pages & copyright violations should be tagged instantly, but everything else can wait to see if it is goign to develop). By sending articles that have no chance of being deleted to AfD you are wasting the time of other editors.

I am not trying to be mean. Most people make mistakes when they are new (which includes those people who article's you are flagging). However, the fact remains that if you really want to make as valuable of a contribution to Wikipedia as possible you need to slow down. Quality is more important than quantity. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:35, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough, That is cogent and makes good sense. Some of these I have looked up and in the case of the trueachievements.com I am amazed we would include a video game ranking site. But so long as you see I'm only trying to help and not hurt the encyclopedia this works for me. And you are 100 percent right about Quality over Quantity, I will try and remember this more. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 20:39, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

OK, great. Wikipedia is amazingly inclusive. In the past, I nominated stuff for deletion which "normally" wouldn't be considered notable only to have it landslide kept. We have many notability guides, but really there is only one policy - if the subject has had a significant amount of coverage in at least two reliable sources it is notable. The guides just help to clarify what is or isn't significant coverage for a given genre. The only exception is "people that are famous for one event" which really means people that are accidentally famous as part of a larger event. (That is, it only applies if the person did not intend to become famous by their actions.) --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:48, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

No-Future

Hi. This was deleted very quickly, before some collaborators could have expanded the article to explain relavance. The site has been a big part of a pretty important music and art scene, with it's roots in mid to late 90s UK electronic music, whilst also creating interest in said scene throughout the world. Some key players from that scene (and other similar scenes) regularly take part in the community, allowing for a focus that would not exist otherwise. The speedy deletion meant that the initial page was lost, and no one else was able to add to the article.

Although I understand that relavance might not be immediately apparent, but deletion within 5 minutes of the article being created is a little silly, especially without any time to defend the article.

Speedy Deletion Converted to PROD: Herbert and Dorothy Vogel

Hello HellinaBucket, and thanks for your work patrolling new changes. I am just informing you that I have changed a page you tagged (Herbert and Dorothy Vogel) from being tagged for speedy deletion to being tagged for proposed deletion. The speedy deletion criteria are very narrow, and do not fit the page in question. Consider reviewing the criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any queries, please let me know. Thanks again! NW (Talk) 01:48, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Guiak

Being in another language is not a criteria for speedy deletion. However, being in another language while the same article exists on a foreign-language wiki is. In this case, Guiak is not on the Spanish Wikipedia: [2]. Please use {{notenglish}} in the future.--Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:31, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Womble Multimedia

I think would have been better to have come back to this, rather than tagging it for deletion 1:02 minutes after creation. It was certainly not nonsense. A simple Google search would have revealed over 500 unique Google hits from which to have attempted to source this-- the subject is a multimedia company. As it sits, it now does not assert notability, but the creator may have been frightened off, and I certainly don't have time to try a rescue. So the upshot is we may have lost an article on a notable subject and a new editor. I would ask that you look for ways to build articles rather than being so hasty to tag them for deletion.

Hi - I saw your previous note/mark for a page I have just created corizon and was a little confused. I think I have followed all the guidelines and compared this to other pages such as jackbe Can you advise if this is correct. Many thanks in advance. Nigel. Nigelwalsh (talk) 07:06, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Try to read WP:RS also the article appears to be mostly written as an advertisement. Is there ways the company is notable? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 07:17, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

thanks. I have had a quick look at this. The approach Corizon takes is very different from those mentioned here Enterprise_mashups and has a number of patents now pending, hence being notable. Its not meant as an advert, hence why I didn't include customers names as per the jackbe example. The approach taken is very different to that of others in the Mashup space. Also the article Enterprise_mashups doesn't differentiate between "consumer" mashups and "enterprise" - both significantly different. Does this help? Your guidance and advice much appreciated. I have also added some external links now to articles around SOA/books written on this topic. Thanks. nige. Nigelwalsh (talk) 07:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Please note, that notability is decided by reliable 3rd party coverage so if your above sources comply with that awesome, if not try and do some more research to establish notability. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 07:49, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

The source does help your cause, is there any other sort of articles like this? Hell in a Bucket (talk) 07:52, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, there is plenty - but I didnt want to include releases or customer details - as this to me would be more of an advert. e.g., Corizon is the platform of choice for BT - the UK's national carrier. there are plenty of sources online for this and now the platform of choice for some of the worlds leading system integration partners such as Logica, Accenture, Capgemini. There are a number of books written on this top too?. If I also compare to the Software_companies_of_the_United_States then each of these companies have a similar outlook than I have created here. Does this help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nigelwalsh (talk • contribs) 08:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Kinda, the problem is the lack of further sources, anything that is third party and reliable is a good source for inclusion. Based as it is the article is still more like an advertisment. That is only my opinion but I would suggest a re-write. Focus on how the company is notable. Haqte to put it this way but make it plain, remembe rthis is an encyclopedia not a forum to proclaim how unique a companies services are. Again this is my personal opinion and not a statment of correctness. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 08:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Sounds fair, Ill have another look at it - ultimately its a technical topic, so this is an extension of Service_oriented_architecture which itself could never be described at simple! With that, I don't believe it should be deleted until we refine. I'm confident we can get to a page that is representative of an encyclopedia. Nigelwalsh (talk) 08:35, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Your code is set to the default minimum number of threads to be left on a page, i.e. 5. Plus, I think, the bot does not recognise entries that are not datestamped. I'll datestamp the two entries 'Thanks' and 'Talkback' and add a line to the code for setting the minimum number of threads to be left on a page, which you can adjust as you want (personally, I find 5 sufficient). Will do this shortly. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:12, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

Comparison of PAV's

Exactly how can I make the article good enough to have the db template removed. I added references already; a original PAV list is not yet available anywhere on the web; I composed the list myself by browsing the links noted in the references and taking out the most valuable ones. I think the page is very valuable dough; eg to provide readers a fast comparison so they can pick the PAV which is best (cheapest, most useful) for them

In my opinion, if any comparison of aircraft need to be made they should be done on their own page. As is I can be wrong and that is only my opinion. Hell in a Bucket (talk) 17:04, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

As reviewing admin, I in any case declined the Speedy, because it was not "a very short article lacking context to establish the subject of the article". If you wish to have it deleted you will need to go to AfD. We have many articles "Comparison of ...", so that is not a reason for deletion. Myself, I am by no means sure it cannot be improved. What AfD will do of course is never predictable. DGG (talk) 17:42, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Just a heads up -- the pages you just nominated for AfD (i.e., those Cotton Bowl pages) are all copyright violations from a Texas Football site.

The only reason your account was not permanently blocked is because you agreed to stop editing pages that I am working on. That includes Operation Repo.

You have been vandalizing this article in the same manner ever since your account was created and you need to stop. This is violation of the agreement that you entered into when you begged for your account to be spared.

Do not edit articles that I am working on, and do not follow me by watching my contributions. This is harassment and is completely unacceptable behavior.

This is the only warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, as you did to Operation Repo, you will be blocked from editing. VegKilla (talk) 05:23, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Above warning stands, you will be blocked from editing if you continue to vandalize Operation Repo.VegKilla (talk) 07:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Thankfully, VegKilla doesn't actually have the ability to block anyone and I seriously doubt any admin would block Hell in a Bucket for changing "faux reality show" into "television show". That is a content dispute, not vandalism. --ThaddeusB (talk) 15:48, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

• The actual unblock conversation. (make what you will of it)

That looks reasonable to me - I suggest, HiaB, though, that you instigate absolutely no more contact with VegKilla in future, unless they specifically say it's OK. I also suggest (though this is of course a suggestion, not an enforceable ban) that you stay away from involvement in articles that VK edits for a while, until your bona fides are re-established.

The above ("Can you please ask...") worries me. Please review WP:LASTWORD and WP:LETGO. Let it lie. If VK is interested they can comment further; if not just stay away from the situation. If you are genuinely hard-done-by take it to WP:AN/I but remember if you do so your own contributions will be examined, possibly to your detriment. And please leave the unblock template alone.

speedy reasons

Bus stations and other places and buildings cannot be deleted by speedy A7 as non-notable. And any subject passes the very low bar for A7 by making even a modest indication of importance, and does not need sources to prove it--the bar for WP:N is much higher. Please read WP:CSD carefully and only nominate what fits in the categories listed. But remember to check any article that uses promotional language or lists extensive contact information for copyvio. McAllen Central Station was a straight copy of their website, and I speedy-deleted it for that reason. Copyvio is hard to dispute. DGG (talk) 21:06, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Absolutely it is hard to dispute. Good catch. Now let me pose a question for thought. There is a very small bus station in Glenwood Springs Co. So small in fact it's incorporated into a gas station, by your rationale above it is worthy of inclusion. Would you like to reconsider that? There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 22:59, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

He didn't say it was worth of inclusion, just that it wasn't speedy deletable. The speedy deletion criteria (purposely) don't cover all topics that aren't eligible for articles. Speedy deletion is a "shortcut" deletion method for unambiguous cases and is limited to a small # of articles that the community has decided can easily be judged by only 2 editors (the tagger & the deleting admin). For all other cases, the use of PROD or AfD is required because the community feels these subjects require more than two sets of eyes to determine notability or lack there of.

A7 covers people/bands, companies/organizations, and web content only - all other subjects can't be speedy deleted as "non-notable." --ThaddeusB (talk) 23:11, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Well in some cases better safe then sorry I guess. No worries. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 13:34, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

First, to be clear I haven't really watched your activity recently, so I can't personally say how you are doing. I was merely trying to explain what DGG was saying above. I can, however, explain the CSD criteria in a general sense.

Since you asked, the problem with this nomination wasn't that the bus station was notable (it may or may not be), but simply that it wasn't eligible for speedy deletion. Only people and companies can be speedy deleted as non-notable, A7 doesn't cover other subjects. So things like products, buildings, made up words, etc. can't (properly) be speedy deleted. That isn't to say no admin would ever delete such things if nominated, because sometimes admins ignore the rules and delete them anyway. However, according the CSD criteria they shouldn't, and such things will usually be declined.

Based on some of the messages you've received, it appears that you feel an article needs to prove notability. While that is correct in an ultimate sense, it is incorrect in a speedy deletion sense. To avoid speedy deletion, an article only needs to assert notability, not prove it - lack of sources isn't a speedy deletion. criteria Thus if an article has unsourced claims of notability, it can't be speedy deleted, but rather the issue must be solved in another way (editing, PROD, or AfD). (Of course outright hoaxes can still be speedy deleted.)

Additionally, the bar to asserting notability is pretty low. Although it varies form admin to admin, generally statements like "Bob Smith is a successful movie producer" or "The Junk Band is a popular rock band in the Phoenix area" are considered assertions of notability.

The reason the speedy deletion criteria are so narrowly constructed is that speedy deletion is against the general spirit of Wikipedia; normally decisions are made by the community, not by individuals. The community acknowledges that speedy deletion is necessary to limit people abusing Wikipedia for self-promotion and hoaxing, and also to keep AfD manageable. However, the criteria on purposefully limited to only the areas where it is really needed - hoaxes, attack pages, copyright violations, and self-promotion. Thus, A7 applies only to types of pages that are regularly created as self-promotion; people often try to promote themselves or their company, but rarely other subjects.

In short, it is probably best to use PROD for things that don't clearly fall into the CSD criteria. The downside of PROD is anyone, including the article's creator, can legitimately remove the tag and it can't be re-added once removed. That is unlikely to be an issue if the creator has moved on, but if you are tagging it 2 minutes after it was created they will probably see the tag and remove it.

Hope that clears things up some, but feel free to ask any follow up questions you may have. --ThaddeusB (talk) 16:23, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok so in a speedy delete situation, if the article claims to notability then it should go to a prod or afd format? Hadn't really considered that.Hell In A Bucket (talk) 23:02, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, according to policy an assertion of notability is sufficient to avoid speedy deletion. Of course, what counts as a valid assertion is open to interpretation and varies from admin to admin. However, a lack of sources by itself is never sufficient reason for speedy deletion. --ThaddeusB (talk) 20:20, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for the barnstar. It means a lot to me coming from someone with whom I have butted heads with. For what it is worth, I think you are definitely improving as an editor.

Just a quick note 'cause you'll be heading to RFA some day and this might bite you. This technically does not qualify as WP:Nonsense. Doesn't assert any significance either, though obviously should be CSD, it is not. I'm gonna leave it alone because a bolder admin than I will probably delete it per WP:SNOW and/or WP:IAR. The RFA cabal has been stricter about this stuff than a lot of CSD'ers, so new admin candidates think they're doing it right when there taggings are successful, and then they get opposed for it at RFA.

Two months ago I had a extended altercation with Vegkilla. I was extremely rude and inappropriate and very verbally abusive to him and admin. I recvd a few blocks for these behaviors. I did as my contribution show calm down and regret my behavior and apologized to all invovled. I recieved a last block in which I agreed not to contact that user again unless invited. Also there was a reccomendation to avoid pages with Vegkilla editing until I "reestablished my bona-fides" I have been accused of violating the terms of my unblock and unfairly warned in a situation that is clearly nothing but good faith. I would like uninvovled admin to please look at me and my contributions and clarify if my actions were incorrect and how to change them in the future.

As one of the admins who blocked HiaB for the earlier poor behaviour I would note that I feel that he has moved forward greatly over the last weeks, and has transformed himself into a good faith editor. I do not think that VegKilla's attitude is appropriate in referring to that previous instance over what may be considered a minor content dispute. I note that a couple of people have noted to VegKilla that his current responses are indicative of overreaction, but to date the only responses have been further references to the old instance.

HellinaBucket is a vandal. Unfortunately, ThaddeusB is not familiar with this issue. I directly oppose everything that ThaddeusB has said as being completely false and unwarranted (I specifically deny that Hellina's edit was a mistake and was not deliberate vandalism).VegKilla (talk) 06:59, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

"What I did accuse Hellina of, was of vandalism: making the same edit to the Operation Repo article that he has been trying to make since April. He has repeated this act of vandalism by removing words like "faux" or "scripted" from the article, and this is vandalism because it is introducing false information. I also accused Hellina of violating the agreement he made when he was making a plea to avoid a permanent block....

The concept of "assuming good faith" does not apply to this situation, because as I said earlier, this is not a new issue. This is an edit that Hellina has made to this article countless times, and has been warned and even blocked for persisting in this issue. Furthermore, Hellina's edit summary "changing verbage" is intentionally deceptive.

If Hellina wants to continue to vandalize Operation Repo, then he can start a new account, and (not knowing who he is) I'll start him out at a level 1 warning again. If Hellina wants to make helpful contributions to Operation Repo without introducing false information or using deceptive edit summaries, then he can (and does), because as you can see from the edit history, I don't even blink when he makes constructive contributions VegKilla (talk) 17:43, 30 June 2009 (UTC)" There is a Road, No Simple Highway (talk) 18:44, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

• I was involved (with another non-admin, Neutralhomer, in the previous incident here when there seemed to be a shortage of admins (Saturday morning in the EU, the wee small hours of Saturday in the US). At the time I suppose I sided with VegKilla, since Hell in a Bucket's conduct was, as they acknowledge above, unseemly. Since then I've been following both VegKilla and Hell in a Bucket, and they appeared to have disengaged and generally become good members of the community. Unlike ThaddeusB I am familiar with the background to this; however, I do have to agree with ThaddeusB that VegKilla's allegation of vandalism is completely inappropriate. I'd view Hell in a Bucket's edit as good faith. I do not regard Hell in a Bucket as a vandal. Cheers, TFOWR^{This flag once was red} 18:54, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

For the record, here is the supposed vandalism edit: [3] and here is the very strongly worded warning it received: [4]. To me, this is clearly a content dispute and not at all vandalism. I take no position on the correctness of the edit, but I feel strongly that the threat it generated was way over-the-top.

VegKilla went on the accuse Hell in a Buck of "following his edits around," which I consider a serious accusation without basis. VegKilla has mostly only edited Operation Repo for the last month. He has made 15 edits to the article (mostly reverts) while Hell has made 6. It is pretty hard to stalk someone through a total of 1 page. Again, this is a content dispute not stalking.

I do understand that these two have had conflict in the past, however that does not excuse making threats of "permanently blocking" over a minor changing of the words. At worst, this is a slow moving edit war - and it takes two to edit war.

Additionally, VegKilla has been jumping straight to L4 warnings every time an IP vandalizes the page. He seems to think ever IP edit is really coming from Hell in a Bucket, which is highly unlikely IMO. I have advised him to step back from the article for a while, as he seems to have lost focus and is emotionally involved to an unhealthy level. I believe this is good advice and stand by it. --ThaddeusB (talk) 18:58, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

• For someone with "no familiarity" of the issues behind this incident, you seem to have summarised it nicely ;-) I agree entirely that this is a context dispute - heck, I agree with everything you've said. VegKilla needs to step back. Cheers, TFOWR^{This flag once was red} 19:04, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

VegKilla's objection is a change away from describing Operation Repo as a "faux reality show." As far as I know, that's not a genre name that is widely used by anyone. In my opinion, Hell in a Bucket's proposed change is not only not vandalism, but is a very reasonable edit. I've weighed in on the talk page regarding the genre discussion, and added the article to my watchlist- I'm conerned that User:VegKilla may have a slight case of WP:OWN. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 19:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Rollback

I think it would be better to give it another month. you reverted a CSD tag removal as vandalism and then removed the tag yourself? To be honest, I don't think Rollback gives the user that much, and even though I have it, I often leave an edit summary anyway 'cause in believe in communication. Don't be discouraged, keep pounding away at it. I'm not denying on the rollback page though. You might want to ask Fisher or one of the other admins involved in your recent troubles.

With rollback you get a whole load of "rollback" links all over your watchlist, which inevitably you click instead of "diff" links, and then have to go and self-revert, apologise to everyone concerned, etc! There's a monobook.js or CSS hack that fixes this, but still... For what it's worth, I'm currently considering Twinkle. With rollback you need to consider each and every time - is this obvious vandalism, and, if there's any chance it's a good faith edit then you use "undo" instead. Twinkle sounds a whole lot more straightforward. Cheers, TFOWR^{This flag once was red} 17:38, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

I must agree with TFOWR. It's not too much fun having to explain to an admin why you reverted their comment at AIV. :) Cheers, t'shael^chat 23:10, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

NO biggie folks, with double vision problems allready might be more of a headache then it's worth. Hell In A Bucket (talk) 23:13, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Grand Tower Island

Thanks! I visited it on Saturday, and I was surprised to see that it didn't have its own article already. I've visited a couple of "wrong side" islands in the past (Kaskaskia, Illinois a year ago, and a few times driving over Green River Island near Evansville, Indiana), so this one I found just as interesting as the rest.

That's one of the exciting things about going to new places and finding gems to write about! Hell In A Bucket (talk) 16:16, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
