Cocoa Tea

Aloha. While I admire your speedy deletion skills, I have to ask why you deleted Cocoa Tea. This is a valid article (created by an anon newbie) that I was trying to bring up to Wikipedia standards when you deleted it. Please reply. --Viriditas | Talk 09:22, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your quick reply. --Viriditas | Talk 09:36, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting my talk page

Hi Stormie,

Thanks for reverting the vandalism by anon user 130.68.2.63 on my talk page. Do you know anything about him, or was this just an admin job you were doing? He seems to have a real problem with the Baha'i Faith for some reason. I did come over here because of a reference someone quoted to the Baha'i Faith entry, but AFAIK I haven't touched any of the Baha'i articles around here, all I did was say hi to Rick Boatright (who I have seen elsewhere) on the talk page there. Weird. PaulHammond 18:10, Jan 30, 2005 (UTC)

I think his grudge was probably with the Baha'is rather than me - but I think you might have gotten me into something now - have a look here. PaulHammond 02:25, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

ethnic sterotypes

Thanks for updating the status on List_of_ethnic_stereotypes. It seems to me that if there is a list of ethnic stereotypes, then it would be appropriate to put an "ethnic stereotypes" section on most, perhaps even all, pages for each ethnicity. I am curious what other wikipedians think of this. I was thinking of picking a random ethnicity and adding it myself, with information from the list, to start a discussion, but I figured there is probably a less controversial way to go about a discussion of this kind. --Paraphelion 11:03, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the reply on my talk page. I did remove some of the more offensive racial slurs and, perhaps unecessarily, changed wording to use more obscure words.. the idea was that at the very least, it would expose some readers to words they haven't heard before. Some anonymous editor, with little understanding of what a stereotype is, is putting a lot of effort into making it even more confusing and useless and I have lost all desire to work on it. My first thought when it was on the VfD was to keep, and then I thought about how to improve it, and changed my mind, pretty much out of anticipation of what you now see there; I can't imagine anyone has the stomach to correct it in detail and sqabble over some of the smaller factual errors. --Paraphelion 21:47, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Toyslove images

Greetings. You recently voted to delete several toyslove images because they were orphans, the copyright status was suspect, and there was a URL to a commercial site on the images. The URL has now been removed, the copyright status has been verified, and two of the images are no longer orphans. I was wondering if you might consider changing your vote. – Quadell ^{(talk) (sleuth)} 20:38, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

Repeated words report

Please read instructions properly before starting on a correction project! You should have deleted the entries you had done, not struck them out. r3m0t 11:00, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for acting

The deletion of Views of Creationists and mainstream scientists compared was well appreciated. However, many of the "daughter pages" that were created in an attempt by one of the creationists to preserve the POV debate are still around. Since they were a part of the page when the page was asked to be axed, could you delete them too?

These pages are:

Creation vs. mainstream science in biology Creation vs. mainstream science in geology Creation vs. mainstream science in cosmology Creation vs. mainstream science in early civilization

Thanks. Joshuaschroeder 16:03, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for the unblocking

Thanks for the unblocking -- I just tried it out from the office computer and it seems to work jes' fine. BTW, I also repossessed another login (number 13, I think) with the same password: if you want to brave that one, be my guest. --Calton 01:10, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thank you!

Just a quick "thank you" for voting me for admin. Now all I've got to do is find out how to use these worrying new powers... Grutness|^hello? Missing image

Star Stubs

Thanks for asking me to help clean up some stubs on one of my (many) hobbies. I'm afraid, however, that I don't know a thing about Babelfish, but I'll do my best in cleaning up how I can. --Ryan! | Talk 01:20, Feb 19, 2005 (UTC)

Helen keller in jokes

For what it's worth, I didn't recreate that article. I came upon it in New Pages, recreated by an anonymous user, and tried to list it for deletion. About ten seconds later, my IP was blocked. I sent you an email about it. I don't know much about the mechanics of Wikipedia, but I hope this sort of thing doesn't happen very often. It's incredibly annoying. Binadot 21:11, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, Stormie. I understand the deletion process can get very muddled, especially when it comes to repeat offenders. Binadot 21:31, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

scorpius

Deleted. I was misled by a category category:Stars by constellation (I deleted it as well). It contained the "underpopulated" message. Mikkalai 08:19, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

IMDb tags

I noticed the tag you put on my article for the movie 2 Days in the Valley and have been unable to duplicate a similar tag for other movie articles that I've started. And I can't find a reference to it on the Wikipedia (is it just me or are things hard to find around here?) help pages. So what's the secret for adding those tags, if you don't mind letting someone else in on the secret? Thanks, Dismas 07:41, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Got the links! Thanks a lot! Dismas

Return of the Untagged Image project

You were kind enough to contribute to the Wikipedia:Untagged images project; I beg to draw your attention to part 2 of the project - there are about 12,000 more images in need of tagging. Any assistance you could provide would be most welcome. thanks --Tagishsimon (talk)

Sydney Hilton

Thanks for not being too trigger-happy. I was pretty embarrassed when I realised that I'd let it happen. Ambi 14:19, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Hello Stormie. Thanks very much for intervening. Ambi has finally edited the talk page, we may start to move forward constructively.

I should point out that I would never just revert someone else's well meant contribution, even if I thought it of low quality. It is almost always posible to sensitively incorporate the best parts of their work into an updated article. I have, howver, been reverting the unjustified revertions.

Is there an explicit policy about this? (I mean about being sensitive to others contribution, not the three revert rule.) If not I think that there should be one -- never completely revert well intended contributions. It's an extention of the "be bold not reckless" theme.

Could you have a look at other revertions that Ambi has made? I am aware of a few other revert wars she has started. It worries me very much that she is on the arbitration committee.

This sort of thing can destroy Wikipedia. I for one will not be writing another article for a while -- it just takes too much angst.

Thanks!

Thanks for your support. Rick K 23:12, Mar 3, 2005 (UTC)

Elona Bojaxhi

You put a deletion notice on Elona Bojaxhi after the debate at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Elona Bojaxhi. You might note that there is a duplicate of the article at Elona Bojaxhi/Temp.--Henrygb 22:49, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Military history of Puerto Rico

Hi, how are you? I submitted the above mentioned article to be considered for featured article status. I would be honored if you could take a look and express your opinon here: Featured article candidates # Military history of Puerto Rico (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates#Military_history_of_Puerto_Rico/), Thank you very much Tony the Marine

Friendly Chat

Hi, I just thought that I would let you know that Linuxbeak has nominated me for adminship. I would like to invite you to participate at WP:RFA if you wish to do so. Thank you and take care Tony the Marine

Stormie, it is always great to hear from an old friend. Thank you for your kind words. You that I've always considered you as one of my Wiki mentors. If I am elected administrator, I will be looking for you for advice and guidance.

I need a favor. On May 31, 2004 I created the article Arturo Alfonso Schomburg and on December 2004 another user wrote about the same person with the title Arthur Schomburg. I don't want to do the merge myself because since I'm one of the parties involved I don't think it would be proper. Could you look into this when you have time? Thank you buddy, Tony the Marine

Thank you

Stormie thank you for the merge. I believe that the article should be titled as Arturo Alfonso, since that's his birth name and he never changed it. What happened was that when he moved to the states, people started calling him "Arthur". They "Americanized" his name. Like me, my name is Antonio but, everybody called me Tony since I was a child. Take care Tony the Marine

Question

Stormie, do you think that it would be improper to move the comment made under my son's vote in my nomination to the comment section? I'm afraid that the comment placed there will create a distraction to the voting process and turn into a debate but, I don't dare move it because people may take it the wrong way. What do you think? Tony the Marine

Thank You

What a year! My first year in Wiki, a featured article and now administrator. Thank you for your support. I feel honored to have befriended you so, now I'll be pestering you asking you for advice and guidance (smile). Tony the Marine (UTC)

Nurofen

Stormie - I recently posted an article for Nurofen - it uses some material from the Nurofen.co.uk website which is publically available. I am an employee of the brand owners and we have no objection to this information appearing in it's original form on wikipedia thx

Thanks for that - I see you are posting from an ip address that appears to belong to Boots. I have rewritten the article anyway to give it a more encyclopedic tone, please jump in and add to it! —Stormie 00:52, Jun 23, 2005 (UTC)
