Empty pages

Ok, creating the template pages first cos I have the categories ready to paste on clipboard. I understand that blanks may cause a problem, but at least give me some time to sort things out! Only been a few mins and I only have 1 pair of hands! ;) - HTUK 17:42, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jolin Tsai

Lets not have an edit war over this. Go find a directory of fansites at yahoo or somewhere else, and use that as the one external link for fansites intead of a link to one specific site. Desertsky85451 17:44, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 17:46, 2 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

I really don't care about what the link is, nor do I even know who Jolin Tsai is; I am against excessive fansite links on wikipedia. I'd ban them all if I could. Keep up the good editing man. Desertsky85451 17:49, 2 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rootschat entry deletion

I'm wondering why the entry 'rootschat' was deleted on 13 January 2006. Isn't there supposed to be some kind of discussion and /or vote before something gets deleted? I can't find any discussion on the subject. bonjedward

It was deleted as a non-notable group, which is speedily deletable under WP:CSD. If you wish to dispute the deletion, go to WP:DRV. enochlau (talk) 20:20, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do intend to dispute it. The WP:CSD states that

Non-notable subjects with their importance asserted: Articles that have obviously non-notable subjects are still not eligible for speedy deletion unless the article "does not assert the importance or significance of its subject".

Since the text has been deleted, I have no way of knowing whether it did or did not assert the importance of its subject. However, a rapidly expanding genealogical forum with 34287 users, 844075 posts on 154588 topics, arguably the leading forum in its field (British and Irish genealogy) is not "obviously non-notable". bonjedward

You do realise that January was a long time ago. You can go and recreate the article, but this time putting in statements that reflect the notability of this website. enochlau (talk) 21:15, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably also take into consideration WP:WEB when writing the article I think. enochlau (talk) 21:17, 6 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

China

meh. I would be okay with [[Republic of China]] ("[[Taiwan]]"). Anyway I quit from that debate. My version seems to have been accepted for that sentence, but they're moved on to arguing about other stuff. --Sumple (Talk) 09:28, 7 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You and I were blocking Special:Contributions/MarkdeRosaEsteban about the same time — yours took first. You imposed a 24-hour block for vandalism. I was going to make it an indefinite as a vandalism-only account. An account to keep an eye on. — ERcheck (talk) 12:58, 10 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

USYD Clock Tower image

Hi. You asked to be notified if your image of the USYD Clock Tower was altered. I've tilted it a little and cropped it, because I thought it would look more symmetrical. I intended to replace the original but bungled it, so both the old and new versions are up now.

old
new

new

I'm rewriting the link in the USYD article to point to the new image. I'm also going to try and distribute the images in that article as evenly as I can, since there's some congestion. -- Shoejar 08:56, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 12:07, 12 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Thanks for the correction. I've rearranged those images as best as I could. Nothing too fancy... I just didn't like the way they were all piled on top of each other on the right-hand side.

I think the page could do with some big-time expansion. -- Shoejar 13:39, 12 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've revamped and given new direction to the WikiProject Hong Kong page. Feel free to invite more people to join. The more people the more effective. Be sure to also try and tag as many Hong Kong-related articles as possible with the WikiProject Hong Kong infobox found on the project page. Looking forward to working with you.

Deleted Page: Tim_Sweetman

I noticed that the page Tim_Sweetman had been deleted by you. I wondered why, and I believe it may be ready to be reinstated. I know of a guy who wrote up something that's not written by Tim Sweetman himself.

It was deleted for being WP:CSD A7. If you want to contest the deletion, go to WP:DRV. enochlau (talk) 05:16, 15 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

fansites

I'm standing by WP:EL. I don't care which fansite gets linked, just as long as there is only one there. Desertsky85451 02:22, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 02:24, 17 September 2006 (UTC))[reply]

Policy is there for every situation and ignoring all the rules this time would just lead to me ignoring them next time, and that is not gonna happen. We're not the first to disagree on this, nor will we be the last, but in past disagreements, WP:EL has won out for being a sensible middle ground. I've restored the links to the sites with lyrics, but removed the rest, since they are all unofficial fansites. That leaves two, which is more that WP:EL allows.

A photo sites for some one's favorite pop star is inherently POV and amature, and can be prone to conjecture, rumor and contain stalking information. Linking them from a biographical article is almost an endorsement of their content, which I think should blackball them immediately. Since those who have come before us think one external, non-official, link is okay, I'll tolerate it. That doesn't mean I'm happy about it. Desertsky85451 02:37, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you delete Jonathan Stamp?

I was planning on working on that page. Is there a reason you deleted it so quickly? I would have preferred you post a question on the talk page so that it could be discussed, rather than just delete it. MagnoliaSouth | Talk 06:39, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It was deleted under WP:CSD A7. If you wish to dispute the deletion, go to WP:DRV. Alternatively, if you wish to recreate the article, please ensure that it surpasses a non-notable biography. enochlau (talk) 07:12, 17 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 12:54, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.

Thanks for deleting the Britt Allcroft talk page and thus preventing vandalism. For this I award you the editor's barnstar.

MfD tags

Hi,

The spiffy purple template is available with "mfd top" and "mfd bottom" tags. When in doubt, spelling out "xfd top" and "xfd bottom" works for any new forum. Best wishes, Xoloz 15:07, 26 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, thanks for deleting my userpage. Can you restore it for me again... it was just a test of delete/restore!! --Gold-Horn 15:06, 2 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Erm...

Sorry to bother you, but I misspelled Britt Allcroft in the barn-star I gave you a while ago. I changed the one on your talk page, but the one on your user page is still spelled as Britt Alcroft. You can change it if you like, but I'm not forcing you. Bye. oTHErONE _(Contribs) 07:33, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Julian Moti

I noticed you deleted an article I created a few minutes ago. The content of the article is a matter of public record, and his position of Attorney General should give him at least some notability. I don't think it needed to be deleted.--Everine 11:31, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The article as it stood when I deleted it was terrible to the point of being {{db-attack}}. I am aware of the current situation surrounding him, and I am sure that a properly written article will not be deleted. enochlau (talk) 12:17, 4 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

TCard Image Deletion

Hello,

I am trying to find out the nature of a deleted image from the TCard article. If you are the user who deleted the image, then can you please tell me the nature of the image and what the motivation for its removal was?

Without seeing the image it is hard to tell if it is copyrighted, but as the filename is DSC####.jpg, it could well have been taken by someone's digital camera. It would be nice to have a photo of the TCard in the article.

Thankyou

What was the actual filename? enochlau (talk) 04:44, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[[Image:DSC01360 edited.JPG|thumb|A student's Tcard]] [[User:User A1|User A1]] 05:57, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Ah ok, the situation there was that it was requested by the uploader that the image be deleted, because the image contained personally identifiable information. Hopefully, some of us will be accepted into the Tcard trial and we can take a new picture. enochlau (talk) 06:19, 6 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

John Miller (film)

Hi! I noticed that you deleted John Miller (film) as a "nn bio." This is not at all true, having worked closely with Kroger Babb and being one half of Miller-Consolidated Pictures. The stub was still in need of expansion, but his notability certainly wasn't in question. Please consider restoring for me. Thanks. --badlydrawnjeff talk 01:31, 5 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Citizenship judge & Citizenship Judge

The former was redirected to the latter because of three articles linked to it (they no longer are) namely Lise Bacon, Suzanne Pinel and Lou Sekora. There was "method in my madness". See Talk:Citizenship judge. Peter Horn 02:53, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Redirects to non-existent pages are speedily deletable and don't help even if articles link to it because there's no content at the other end of the redirect. Changing the links is a good idea I agree. enochlau (talk) 03:29, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Why did you revert edits on Jolin's page?

I did a lot of research to add information to Jolin's page and included lots of important information that was not included before! The original article omitted lots of information about Jolin's albums and barely said anything about her singles (while some other artists have whole pages dedicated to their singles)! Can you please explain why you would ignore all my hard work and revert it back to before? Furthermore, I made many grammatical changes as well, fixed some consistency errors, and tried to make the article flow better. So even if you did not like the content I added, I also tried to fix errors and make the overall article better. So please let me know why you reverted it because I feel I wasted so much time only trying to make the page better...

I think the revert was unintentional. Thanks for pointing it out. enochlau (talk) 05:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, no problem! =)

Image removal for Pisay-pshs-oval.JPG

Hello enoch! I just wanted to inquire about your deletion of my recently uploaded picture, Image:Pisay-pshs-oval.JPG. I must admit that I am fairly new to Wikipedia (as a contributor), and I was quite befuddled that my choosing of a 'wrong' license resulted in the picture being tagged for speedy deletion. I was thinking maybe you can help me with my situation. In the summary of the picture in question, I clearly stated the author (not me, but our high school batch) and source of the picture. Was that not enough to not merit a deletion? If it was enough to merit a deletion, would picking another license the next time I upload the picture prevent it from being tagged for speedy deletion?

Apologies for the many questions. Thank you very much.

Wikimedia Quarto proposed for deletion

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Wikimedia Quarto, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Wikimedia Quarto. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. meco 22:24, 18 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reverting a mass deletion

Administrative Appeals Tribunal

Please note that your reversions there had the effect of re-adding some very unencyclopedic editorializing. I am in the midst of a general campaign to raise awareness about such matters and plan to use your reversion as one of many examples in an ongoing discussion of such things at WikiEn-L. This isn't to try to single you out, but rather to raise awareness of a large problem.

Enochlau, you said "I reverted was because I believe mass deletions should always be explained in the edit summary." Newbies that see something that should be deleted and see that "anyone can edit" will not leave edit summaries that identify the policy or guideline under which the content is inappropriate. Typically they have no idea what is and is not proper or customary or accepted. All they know is "It should be deleted" and any edit summary will say basically that; which does not tell you more than a blank edit summary on a mass delete anyway. 4.250.168.250 11:29, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You see, 99% of the time, when I see mass deletions, it's a sign of vandalism. It's very hard to pick out when it's genuine. But I apologise for any inconvenience my reversions have caused. enochlau (talk) 12:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Victorian election campaign

Hi Enoch Lau,

If you have some spare time, could you please cast an eye over the 2006 Victorian election campaign, which I split from the parent page Victorian legislative election, 2006. There is a dispute about how the article should be structured and whether it needs to be significantly altered at all. I think that the article is suffering from a lack of diversity of editorial opinion, which makes consensus appear impossible. There is of course a dialogue to follow on the talk page as well Talk:2006 Victorian election campaign. Thanks, Grumpyyoungman01 00:43, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
