Please accept this barnstar. I'm impressed that you never seem reluctant to handle the tough, convoluted VfD closing decisions that lots of people shy away from. Joyous 03:26, Feb 28, 2005 (UTC)

SLA members merge

Hi Rossami, thanks for your comments and actions on the SLA member merge. I felt that both being bold and merging, or VfD-ing was going to be controversial, so I opted for a consultative process. I'm fairly new to all this, and still finding my feet in terms of best wikipedia practice. Thanks again, An An 08:17, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hi, I was just wondering if you missed Camilla Hall on VfD. Her decision was rendered by another admin., and now there is a revote which might result in a keep. I'm fine with merging or keeping each SLA, but I think it will be a bit odd if all of these decisions aren't consistent. Just thought I'd bring her to your attention. Thanks.

greeting/deletion policy debate.

Hi thanks for replying. I would reiterate that any current contribution I might make on wiki is very arbitrary and due to random investigation. Happily I managed to find the page again, though I have yet to discover a real vote for deletion. It does sound a little like watching gladiators in the arena, so far. Oh, and I see you were once accused of wanting to retain any and all pages, however trivial. Also that you seem to be respected here.Sandpiper 23:45, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Star Wars Wiki

Hey there. I have noticed your contributions to Star Wars articles, and I thought you might be interested in the Star Wars Wiki (http://starwars.wikicities.com/wiki/Main_Page) project. We could use new Star Wars contribs like yourself helping the cause. Take a look, and I hope to see you there. Cheers! --SparqMan 14:42, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Many thanks for reposting and reformatting that material

... and I'm sorry it was so badly written in the first place. It did look repetitive, and I am very grateful for your fix. BrandonYusufToropov 20:53, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Ed Poor has been kind enough to nominate me for an adminship

...which I think will go a long way toward resolving unproductive disputes on pages he and I both edit. Anyone who is interested in voting one way or the other is invited to the discussion here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_adminship/BrandonYusufToropov#.5B.5BUser:BrandonYusufToropov.5D.5D).

Vfd: Hoaxes

Wikipedia:Patent nonsense says that patent non-sense is not to be confused with... Hoaxes and to Check the Deletion policy policy for information on how to handle these things. But the deletion policy does not mention anything about hoaxes. What is the policy regarding hoaxes?--AI 16:24, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Articles which are hoaxes are deletable. (Articles about a particularly notable hoax may or may not be accepted by the community.) Hoax articles, however, are explicitly not speedy-deletable. We have had far too many cases where an article was nominated for deletion as a "hoax" but during the VfD discussion were discovered to be true (though very obscure). Because of this, hoax articles must go through the Votes for Deletion process so that they are scrutinized by multiple people. See my user page for an informal list of examples. Patent nonsense, on the other hand, is speedy-deletable and can be deleted without discussion by the first admin who happens to discover it. Rossami (talk) 18:13, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

CSD expansion

Hi there! Based on the discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Reducing VfD load, I've put together a proposal to expand CSD, here: Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion/Proposal. Before it is put to a general vote I would like your advise on the wording and intent; could you please take a look? Thanks, Radiant_>|< 13:32, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
