Another "school project"

Hi. I'm thinking of prodding Christianity in Haiti as OR, badly referenced and a general mess, like all the other stuff created by this curious "project". I'd welcome a second opinion because I'm working my way through all their articles and I want to be sure my perspective isn't skewed. I managed to salvage Jewish clothing by a wholesale rewrite but I can't see my way through to sorting out Christianity in Haiti in the same way. What do you think? andy (talk) 08:21, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Go ahead and take it to afd as well. Then when it gets deleted, no one can say there wasn't concensus to do it. I had thought Jewish clothing might be salvageable with much work, but it may be the only one of the bunch. Actually, there's a stub or two that could probably stay. Aleta ^Sing 13:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I'll do that. andy (talk) 14:15, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nomination of Buddhism and the body

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. andy (talk) 12:02, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have responded to your recent comment at Talk:Buddhism and the body#Relocation. Please do not immediately nominate this for deletion as it seems that DRV is more appropriate and it will assist the discussion if a version of the article is visible.

tri-ism

There is enough evidence to delete it already. No reason for the joker to have extra kicks by distracting more people, but upon your wish I voted. - 7-bubёn >t 00:06, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Lusitanian Deities

I don't know how we missed this, but you've called the page Lusitanian Dieties instead of Lusitanian Deities... I'm not sure how this can be fixed. Paul S (talk) 20:44, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ouch. Sorry about that. I've fixed it now. Since the Lusitanian deities did not speak English, perhaps they will forgive me. :) (For future reference, you can use the "move" tab at the top of the page to fix things like that in most cases.) 23:39, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Buddhism and the body DRV

Hi. Regarding your comment at this DRV, the close timing is an odd coincidence. I always feel gratified when another editor agrees with a comment I've made. Thanks. Flatscan (talk) 04:09, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Quan Yin

Ok, maybe I was too hasty in reverting it, but I am serious about having the article protected, it gets way too many edits by exthusiastic fans who have no interest in keeping the article encyclopaedic. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Quan_Yin_Method&diff=280760991&oldid=280757702 Brutaldeluxe (talk) 01:00, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is a mess, no doubt. I'm not sure if protection is what's needed or what exactly is. I could protect it, but since I'm unsure about it, I'm not going to do so. I suggest posting at WP:RFPP. Some other admin may be as certain as you that that's the best course of action. Aleta ^Sing 01:27, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

My work here is done.

I have contributed, in however small a way, to an article on this important topic. My work here is done. Aleta ^Sing 04:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Baked goods

APK has given you a space cake, just for shiz and gigglez. The consumption of cannabis foods somehow promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day better. Spread the relaxing, but sometimes nauseating, WikiLove by giving someone else a space cake, whether it be someone you've had disagreements with in the past or someone in need of a gateway drug. Enjoy!

Hah! Thanks, APK. I like cakes. :) Aleta ^Sing 15:15, 2 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello me lady

What happens after me Lady eats spice cake? She loses her paddles and ends up in a swamp! Just say no, Aleta. Just say no. ^__^

I had heard countless rumors of your beauty (the townspeople, they are fond of gossiping), but never thought I might be fortunate enough to witness it myself. Thanks to the mystical and demonic powers of the interwebz, I, Sir Lancelot, have witnessed the fairest maiden in the Kingdom of Wikipedia. APK thinks he's ready for his closeup 02:52, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why Sir Lancelot, you do know how to flatter a lady! Aleta ^Sing 03:24, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

To prove how clueless I am in regards to literature, I had to google me Lady's name. The first thing that popped up was this picture ---->. APK thinks he's ready for his closeup 03:31, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did you find The Lady of Shalott? I love the poem, and Loreena McKennitt has made a beautiful musical setting of it. (I, as you may have guessed, am doing a bit of locking the barn door after the horse is gone.)Aleta ^Sing 03:36, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I did, but my roomie is still trying to explain to me what the story means. ha. Lock and bolt. APK has your back. APK thinks he's ready for his closeup 03:40, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

See if you can find the song on youtube! It's got to be there. Sigh...why do some people have to be so nasty? LadyofShalott ^Sing 03:49, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help request

Hey to anyone who watches my talk page: can you figure out why the link to my talk page is not working in my signature? I can't figure out what I've done to it. LadyofShalott ^Weave 04:05, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, look at the code, [[User_Talk:LadyofShalott|'''Weave'''. You need to close off [[User_Talk:LadyofShalott with closing brackets:]]. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 04:14, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

But the word "weave" is what is supposed to go to the talk page, and I do have closing brackets after that. I'm confused. (I didn't think I was changing anything other than my name and the color, but somehow I've mucked it up!) LadyofShalott ^Weave 04:19, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It should be like this: [[User:LadyofShalott|LadyofShalott]] [[User_Talk:LadyofShalott|'''Weave''']] ACTUALLY, it is working.. it just doesn't work on the talk page.. for obvious reasons.. you're already on the talk page it links to so it doesn't link. Put it on your userpage instead of your talk page and you'll see it does link. - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 04:25, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOL, oooooooooops! Thanks for figuring that out for me, Alstar! I feel silly now. LadyofShalott ^Weave 04:30, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should feel silly for making me feel silly! lol Took me a minute to figure it out too! - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 04:44, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

eh...ahem...

...how about this? I made this myself! (That is, the goods and the picture.) Now how's about that vote? Drmies (talk) 03:24, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That looks more like it! A little weird, but probably not bad. As for the vote... I'm just watching for now how things develop. I think it's probably headed towards a keep decision anyway regardless of if I change my merge. LadyofShalott ^Weave 03:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is a little weird, and it is not bad (my 3-yr old daughter liked it--but she's a bacon maniac, I am embarrassed to say). As you can tell from the shine, it's ganache, which I thought would be preferable over simply dipping it in melted chocolate. But next time I'm using some really expensive, really good chocolate, not that *&^% from the supermarket. And I hope you're right about the AfD. A lot of hard work went into that article (almost none of it mine) and I do believe in its viability and notability. Oh, we have something in common: I also am a firm, and staunch, and diligent proponent of the serial comma! Drmies (talk) 03:47, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I must say, as a bacon lover and as a chocolate lover.. YUCK! - ✰ALLST☆R✰ ^echo 02:50, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LOL I'm actually tempted to try it sometime. LadyofShalott ^Weave 02:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Barney Frank article

In case you are not aware, the editing on Barney Frank (which you just protected) and Talk:Barney Frank is the subject of a current AN/I report. Thanks, Wikidemon (talk) 03:59, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, yes, I was just reading through the ANI discussion. LadyofShalott ^Weave 04:12, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you reinsert the POV tag on the article? No one can reach a consensus on whether this article is neutral or not, at least let the readers know. Thanks Nicholas.tan (talk) 08:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it necessary with the page fully protected. LadyofShalott ^Weave 02:53, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You should probably read this. APK is proud to be a Tar Heel. In your face, Michigan State! 08:59, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I did, and it was helpful, both for the humor value, and the point it makes with the humor. LadyofShalott ^Weave 02:53, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Interested in Religion and LGTB issues?

Hey. If your answer is yea, check this out: Homosexuality#Religion. Somebody needs to improve that section (references and stuff). Phoenix of9 (talk) 05:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Speedy on Kings of Chaos (online game)

Was there any reason in particular that you declined the speedy on Kings of Chaos (online game)? I personally feel that it applied under A7 as web content, but maybe there was something I hadn't considered? I'm not trying to be a jerk here, just wondering if I'm not understanding the requirements. Wyatt Riot (talk) 03:37, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, it probably would qualify technically. I don't really like "speedy" deletions of articles that have been around a while and have several editors who have contributed. So while we can speedy delete, I don't always think we should. I think a prod would be entirely reasonable, however. LadyofShalott ^Weave 03:41, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Totally understandable. :) I prodded it, so we'll see what happens. Thanks for the reply. Wyatt Riot (talk) 03:46, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. :) Actually, I just realized it previously survived an afd:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Kings of Chaos (game). That in itself disqualifies it from speedy deletion (even though it wasn't my reason at the time). LadyofShalott ^Weave 03:51, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Oh yeah, good catch. I guess we'll see how the prod goes, or go through another AfD. I don't find the keep reasons at all compelling, as none of it meets WP:N or WP:V. 04:12, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Spring onions

Mrs. Shallot, I came by for the purpose of noting that I've been quite pleased to see your good works around Wikipedia recently and to note that my little corner of the project has been brightened by your presence. I've enjoyed your collaborations and insights, and I do hope our interactions will continue. Your userpage looks quite familiar to me. Is that a common image on Wikipedia? Have I seen you around before? Anyway, I hope you enjoy the most pleasant of editing wherever your watchlist takes you. Let me know if my handiwork is ever of some use to you and by all means feel free to weigh in any time on the projects where I am involved. ChildofMidnight (talk) 19:43, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure if you're still around, but I see on my watchlist that you deleted Quiet Monkey Fight and it's back. Have a great weekend. ChildofMidnight (talk) 00:47, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, I just prodded it this time. As to your prior post: it's not lady of shallots; it's The Lady of Shalott. :) I recently had a username change; so it is possible you had looked at my page prior to that. I didn't add the picture (which is a famous Waterhouse depiction of the poem) until the name change though. Thanks for your nice post. LadyofShalott ^Weave 00:54, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I figured I'd get in trouble for the shallots or the Mrs., but I don't know much about no Shalott. Is that near Queens? ChildofMidnight (talk) 02:42, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello- I am not exactly sure how this works but I am the content submitter for Quiet Monkey Fight (User: Megapixel). Can you please explain the notability flag for that article? What are you exactly looking for? We see many comparable theatrical groups posted with article pages. It's a legitimate group with notability. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Megapixel (talk • contribs) 17:57, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Megapixel. No one is questioning the existence of the group. Existence however, is not sufficient for includion in Wikipedia. You should read WP:N for details of the notability criterion, but, basically there need to be independant third party reliable sources about the group. Blogs and Facebook may confirm the existence of the group, but have there been, for example, any reviews of them in major newspapers or magazines? I hope this helps. Let me know if I can clarify or answer any more questions for you! LadyofShalott ^Weave 19:18, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Dublin Pride

Dublin Pride

"Blatent advertising" Martin-09-DP (talk) 13:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Im working on an entry for the site but it seems that you deleted it. Could give me a detailed explaination for that. The information I put up was pretty basic. Nothing controversial. Im really at a loss as to why it was deleted especially since I based the information on identical information and approach from the London pride page.

I would apprecaiate a speedy response on this.

I will write a longer reply addressing your issues later on. For now, I have restored a copy to your userspace at User:Martin-09-DP/Dublin pride. LadyofShalott ^Weave 14:08, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A major problem, but which is easily correctable is the use of terms such as "we" and "our". Encyclopedia articles should not be written in first person. As it is, it sounds like you are advertising the festival. Are you connected with the festival? It sounds that way, and you should read WP:COI. You also need independent third-party sources. If this is as big a deal as the article says, surely there have been accounts of it in the news that you can cite to support the information. If this is indeed notable, and not just advertising for an "up-and-coming" event, we should be able to create a decent article about it. I'll be glad to help you get it in shape. Lastly, are you familiar with WP:LGBT? That project is a rich source of other editors who would probably be glad to help with the article. LadyofShalott ^Weave 14:20, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks.Ill look in to that. I was going to add extra links and so on but the page was deleted. Im on the events committee. Ill work on the article over the next couple of days to get something decent together.

Canvassing

It wasn't canvassing. Already responded to your comment at WP:ANI. -- Scjessey (talk) 04:27, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Easter, Southern style

APK bought you some Easter eggs, but he had some mayonnaise that was about to go bad. He decided to make some deviled eggs instead. APK is really sorry about eating your Easter present, but promises to make it up to you on Cinco de Mayo. (although he's likely to drink your present) Happy Easter.

Thanks, APK! Happy Easter to you! LadyofShalott ^Weave 22:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Ascot J Smith

Hello - just wondering - you declined speedy on this article, stating that notability was asserted with awards. However no mention of awards was provided on the page. Google has zero search results for full name quoted [1] and only 20 results (mostly subjects own pages) for http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=kWB&num=50&q=%22Ascot+J.+Smith%22&btnG=Search. Is the subject notable? JCutter (talk) 01:47, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

followup - I see that it says it "won" certain things (I had searched on "award")... still seems questionable, especially considering its autobio. Maybe prod/afd? Or leave it alone? Let me know what you think. JCutter (talk) 01:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think either prod or afd would be appropriate. You could try prod first and see if it is uncontested, or go directly to afd to seek community opinion. I have not searched to see if he actually satisifies our notability criteria or not - there was just enough asserted in the article to make it ineligible for speedy deletion. LadyofShalott ^Weave 02:16, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks - will try prod. JCutter (talk) 02:27, 13 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Weird

I was attempting to make an apology to an editor with whom I think I was a bit strident on my first encounter, and I was redirected here. Anyway, I think I was a bit overly defensive (ie. aggresive) in my initial encounters with an editor who may or may not have been you. I hoped that future encounters demonstrated that I wasn't such a bud person after all, but it's best to take accountability and not leave things in doubt. So I just wanted to note that I'm sorry if I was a bit bitey at first. If I am not remembering accurately, and I can't frankly remember the details or the context (like what article was involved, or was it a userpage?), then just disregard. Where I come from we sometimes yell a lot. But that's just because we don't know any better and it shouldn't be taken personally. :) Sorry about that.
