I wanted to thank you for your kind words of support on what I would consider a rather outlandish turn of events on the 20-20-20 Club article. TeganX7 03:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Keeper. Regarding your edit to aptronym, did you include Goodpaster as the spelling / pronunciation is similar to pastor? As paster means something different, it's not actually an aptronym. The Wizard of Id page is not encyclopedic, it's just one comic strip that demonstrates aptronyms exist - there are already sources which do so in the article, and I can't see how the page satisfies WP:EL. You also appeared to remove Derek Jeter - several names on the list are foreign words, you would have to gain consensus for removing non-English aptronyms on the talk page first. Thanks, Deiz talk 02:41, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi, I notice you correcting some people's spelling in an Afd, and I thought I would let you know that when it isn't in an article, you generally shouldn't correct typos except for your own. Thanks! Katr67 16:01, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi Keeper. Someone has added sources and rewritten the article. You might want another look. Cheers, :) Dlohcierekim 11:31, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Keeper. A couple of minutes ago an unregistered user went round the Hasland Junior School page and marked just about every minute piece of information without a reference as 'citation needed'. Is there anything I can do to change this as I feel he has just gone over the top, the article can hardly be read now! Thanks, Schumi555 10:08, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi Keeper, thanks for your message. Absolutely, Wikipedia truly is wonderful; similar in many ways to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy; even better, for sure, there being no limit on how much information can get into it; the lack of space in the Hitchhiker's, as you know, forced them to massively limit their entries, like "The Earth. Mostly Harmless." As for the issue at hand: The concept of non-speciesist egalitarianism, like non-racist and non-sexist egalitarianism of the past, is a real issue and has been written about by intellectuals and philosophers hundreds of years back. Do you suggest that the validity of the article is in dispute, or is it only a matter of my titles? I would thoroughly appreciate your help. As you know, I am new to Wikipedia and it seems I need some assistance with this in order to get it right. 'Speciesism,' as you know, is racism to animals. (We are kinder to dogs than to pigs, but pigs are more intelligent than dogs, even smarter than some chimpanzees, and certainly will be feeling the same kind of pain than an abused dog would.) Would "Non-speciesism" be a suitable and uncontroversial title for the article? I looked it up on Google and there were 120 results, including one that says "non-speciesism (in the narrow sense in which I've used the term and which I think the Wikipedia definition favours)." -- Ciao, Stig Shousokutsuu (talk) 21:07, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
The argument that has been made by so many philosophers, and I trust you will agree, is that there's no need to prioritize human rights over animal rights. We don't need to eat or wear the remains of animals and thus we can give them the same compassion that we award our family and out pets. By the simple action of ceasing to eat and wear dead animals, we immediately solve one of the issues; this takes no effort at all and doesn't in any way distract from the important issues pertaining to human rights. -- Kind regards, Stig Shousokutsuu (talk) 21:54, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
It is the issue at hand: this is what the article has been set up for. Martijn has offered his kind support as well -- please see our exchange of thoughts at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Martijn_Hoekstra. Would it be acceptable if I kept my article as is (I just started; I, and as I mentioned, more notable philosophers and intellectuals, will keep adding to it) but changed the title to "Animals and Egalitarianism"? I am truly grateful for your help; and yes, I'll be spending a lot more time helping to improve Wikipedia. Cheers, Stig Shousokutsuu (talk) 22:27, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
The issue that prompted an AfD was not the validity of the article itself, but that the title was a neologism. (When I put up "Vegalitarian" I did not know of this policy.) I'm not creating a new page, but I am about to move "Animal Egalitarianism" to "Animals and Egalitarianism". I hope you and the other editors of Wikipedia don't object. -- Cheers, Stig Shousokutsuu (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:44, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Alright, I'll take your advice. If both articles are deleted though, I hope you will find it acceptable that I put up a modified article named "Animals and Egalitarianism." (More appropriate would be "Non-human Animals and Egalitarianism," but that, I fear, would be a little too elaborate.) -- Cheers, Stig Shousokutsuu (talk) 22:55, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for your help, Keeper; take care! -- Cheers, Stig Shousokutsuu (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 23:03, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
Perhaps its just your writing style, but the challenge came across as accusatory (and I did allow that maybe it was just "snarky"). You are no doubt quite the smart person (your user page says so), so I am surprised that you do not see that the way you confronted a differeing opinions might be seen as a bit abrasive (whether that was your intent or not). Please draw in the claws, I am not your enemy and I promise you I am not that vested in that article or The Hat. My differeing opinion was offered. let me assure you I did not mean to upset you to the point of confrontation, but if upset you are, let me now apologize. Jacksinterweb (talk) 16:22, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
Oh sure. I'd be happy to move it. I was actually going to call it that originally, because I thought it sounded like a fairly common song title. I checked to see if anything existed at Staring at the Sun (song) and nothing did, so I called it that. If you think it causes confusion with the U2 song, either I could move it or you could just go ahead and do it. -- H3xx (t/c/b) 23:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
Hello, Keeper76!
How are you? Good to hear from you! Yes, it is I. Just trying to document some things as they actually happened. Thank you for reaching out.

Thank's very much, Keeper76. I just want to tell some things exactly as they happened without "dressin' up" any details. I've heard if you pat yourself on the back long enough your arm will snap clean off, so I won't be doing any of THAT!Thanks, 76 Ronsax (talk) 20:42, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Dear Keeper,
Thank you for supporting in my recent RfA. Words nor pictures can express my heartfelt appreciation at the confidence the community has shown me. I am both heartened and humbled by this confidence. I will carry the lessons learned from the constructive criticism I have received with me as I edit Wikipedia, and heed those lessons. Special thanks to Pedro and Henrik as nominators. Special thanks to Rudget who wanted to. A very special thanks to Moonriddengirl for her eloquence. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 16:35, 1 December 2007 (UTC) |

Well at least your on the level with the jealousy part. It is nice to have aggressive ownership with very deep pockets. I dunno if I necessarily buy into Toronto ownership or Tampa Bays ownership being these poor little orphans. As it looks as if they're doing quite well for themselves financially. Besides, who says you need a quarter billion dollar payroll to win the World Series? --Endless Dan 14:12, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
Hi Keeper, thanks for the headsup re your change (and lucky i noticed it -- i don't log in very often).
Yeah, i was wondering if i might need to annotate that entry for an international audience. It's hilarious in the UK: "baps" is ultra-cliched slang for "breasts". Note the last disambiguation of baps.
In which case, the assoc'n of plastic surgeons naming themselves after the most cliched female enhancement is... rather apt.
Maybe we can need to add an explanatory note re it being UK slang? Actually, more likely Commonwealth slang, because aussies & kiwis know it too.

Thanks for the good advice, 76. I understand what you're saying. Maybe I'll start whittling it down some. I've actually finished with adding anything to the article. It won't be any longer. Just between you and me I'm not interested in trying to make the article long for it's own sake. I just want it to be absolutely accurate and verifiable. Thanks for lookin' out for me and I value your advice. Take care of yourself. Ronsax (talk) 00:26, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

I'm totally disgusted with this team. The general concensus amongst fellow fans and the talking heads is that this offense needs to be re-vamped. I don't think we need to replace players, but rather internally. Meaning Mein Kaughlin and Kevin Kill-drive have gotta go. Who throws the ball that much in windy weather?! Especially when we were running well against the Skins. Another terribly coached game under the Coughlin regime...aghgh!! How many weeks till pitchers and catchers?

I'm sure you're aware that the speedy for Grabber Tees was contested, which is why I brought it to AfD for community consensus.

I had put my greivences to the founder of wikipedia & arbitratory committee i think some one deleted my below page. I just need your answer Keeper76, nothing else. Had you forwarded my page toyour chairperson of wikipedia. My issue is not a small issue. I had put many days on my work. how you will feel I go and rub your pages? This what has been done by 4-5 flying people on wiki. Reg page Naresh Sonee Kindly forward this mail to all respected concerned person involved & to esteemed honorable Chief Judges , Chief Administrators , Chief Chair Person of WIKIPEDIA. Dear Keeper76, Your judgment for Graeme is excellent he deserves more than that. People like them are generous in deed & people (watchers) like you too who come forward and show your feeling for such noble person Graeme & reg my pleas or diatribe. I am not criticizing the whole team. My strong view is -that hidden people like you are watching the scene. & that’s what good point why wiki can still be improved? My suggestion is that wiki should be only governed by good heart people who possess angel mind & Deletion should not be ruthlessly made. However as my appeal , All paras may be deleted if they lack sources to prove, But for reliability/notability of news and views –original newspapers could be asked as evidence, & vollenters editors should not abuse the contributor by using absurd words like soapbox etc. Voleenters who use harsh or hard words and smell bias should be deleted from wikipedia after giving few warnings. But , I come to my point again - in Sonee’s case why such drastic move to delete the whole page –when the matter/page of Naresh Sonee was on talk/discussion box still . Why a urgent judgment of ‘few five’ over provoked to prove the judgment favoring urgent deletion. There is no consideration of expert editors like Graeme & Aleta even . By passing a quick judgement wikipedians has also overruled Graeme’s & Aleta’s views of judgement ? Should not an open discussion be still held or countered that why sane comments of these two people who supported my article which had enough news./ reviews to prove the notability/reliability of a person existence still considered , debated or justified ? & my appeal or grievance of cry is -why the whole page was deleted ? There could be two lines kept on Sonee. Is wikipedia a humiliating grounds for a contributor or for the page raised on ? Does only news/reviews what are circulating or operating internet be witnessed as news & other form of news are hopelessly vague for wiki people ? . Many countries are still lacking behind to access internet structure. This could be 80% public in India where only young are net serchers. Do you mean internet wikipedian can abolish newpapers news and term them as obsolete or non notable/unreliable source? What wikipedian want to prove?
For instance – As you people reject indymedia news as unreliable or un notable news Will it be fine that one day indymedia of the world, or google news circulate the negative news on wikipedia ? And does this news is not important and will not be a noticeable/reliable news for wikipedia . For wikipedia chalkers or chokers what is the meaning of news/ notability / blogs ? If there is any democratic arbitrary section who make rule and regulation for wikipedia tell them to discuss / define the meaning of news or ‘indymedia news’? Is indymedia blog or just journalism of few aspiring donkey’s?
See dear Keeper76, thankyou to read uptill here with patience. I really appricate and want to place a ‘peace & patience wikipedian award also for you too.
But to my debate - I can still place & prove that several news are on prominent news papers of India- Punjab Kesari, Dainik Bhaskar , Rajasthan Patrika on Naresh Sonee. These newspapers hold the readers’ respect of honour as ‘leaders newspapers’ in India same as NewYork Times , Washington Times does carry in their self country. Are all Indian news papers vague or hopeless and aspiring or sharing obsolete nonsense news in India circulating news just for fun and fool the mass? What 4-5 wiki editors/volunteers want to spell for Indian news paers ? Should one article come for negative publicity of wikipedia . Their step motherly treatments for Indian news papers.
However the true investigative, journalists team if wilkipedia has in its wiki project should had asked the reliability/validity or the presence of such newspapers from atleast wiki India project people . Not the fame of the person in question. Fame & notability are two different issues. A philosopher , poet or revolutionary may not be so famous as Tom Cruise or Pamela Anderson . May a important person not be famous as bin laden . May be brilliant and wise brains lack ability to become rich and famous as Brintney Spears who maxmirize mass and media and wikipedians exposing their beautiful breast? May be the person in question who well behave to keep low profile but still need his voice /vision to be heard? But does it mean non so famous lack notability or reliability criteria. News are news whether they come from horses mouth or ducks. Wiki denies indymedia. Why ? are these indymedia people nuts shaking their brains? Indymedia news is reliable-older and far reliable then wiki. People around world access the news promptly within a minute it spread it crucial or simple news only by writing a word on search engine. News readers get access to free news and gossips, debate are created more than any news or blogs.
Like any small or large circulation of internet news or newspaper news - this indymedia generate far better news distributing free for world – The news are news – Every promoted news becomes real notability or generate gossips or debates of the world . You see, Keeper 76, Every brilliant or blurred people of India is not internet searcher , 90 % mass still believe on newspapers news/reviews. In India 90% of people still don’t know what wikipedia means? So does it mean for Indian mass wikipedia is un notable / unreliable/ unimportant / Nonsense?
My dear Keeper76, if you still believe that Naresh Sonee page deserve two lines please focus that the page in question be raised by your good self or by your administrator or some good volenter. Show your generosity/empathy /judgment for my raised or shared work of pain taking research & info writings for wikipedia. I can also raise it again and again writing two words for a sake but what is the point of wasting my time and annoying many people of wiki? So as I am telling again and again I like to create / give a URL link which will display original scanned Indian leading Hindi News papers , Who all had covered new/reviews on Naresh Sonee. This should be enough to convince you. Your goodself can delete all paras/ url link of indymedia if you still feel all are hopeless. But agree to my Indian newspapers atleast.
And do believe never erase my talk on your page while this will remind you how ill wiki make a contributors like me to appear and pose/post his grievances making us run pillar to post disqualifying their hard core done research. While distributing medals of patience to self generated , self praising team. This letter should also reach your chairperson or arbitrary advisors - Who will be able to guide all respected volunteers editors that – leading newspapers news of every country or states or village has a notability value. & news/reviews once or twice , published in far past or immediate presence is enough evidence for notability /reliability –source. A registered newspapers big or small if registered with the governing registrar of the country absolutely un deniably carries a notability/reliability value . Similarly - Info or intro, presence of -Any remote or renowned person, place, performance of non living or living entity in the universe should not be ignored innocently or intentionally by wikipedians while turning nelson eye. Even an individual from a small village of the world if has a notability and had created /attracted some sort of state, city , country news that can attract a ‘world wide view’ or share a ‘world wide vision’ – or is instrumental to lead a new revolution among it’s own area is crucial for global wikipedians. Such things should not be suppressed.
As like google, yahoo or any search engine I wish wikipedia should grow in size as it is –of the people, for the people , by the people . And wikipedia should clearly state it mission –what it exactly means or want ? or what it like to share among people of the world ? Is it a encyclopedia? Info centre of the world events, persons, place? Eventual History acknowledgement ? or Just a ‘Sand on Sea shore’ where any foot walker can rub , write , delete the written messages by whomsoever or ruthlessly rubbed by own self waves of sea (administrator).?
With regards to all of you again . Any good wikipedian like you should come forward , show generosity of reasoning neutral judgment of responsibility of raising my page again Naresh Sonee & Brhmaand Pujan no matter what you feel unreasonable writerings of mine may be scrutinized and deleted from them for ever. & What I personally feel your medal of ‘peace patience award banner’ given/honored to Graeme is just for a sake , a diplomatic way out in a self organized wikipedian style to place me out, by getting rid from me / by ignoring me for ever. I will admire if you show responsibility in placing my page again or hand over ing my case to your seniors or chief.

The article as it was did not assert the notability of the subject; I did not know that the other article was up for AFD, the article simply said that it was "a Christian ministry formed on Easter in 1998 by Pastor Bill Majors at Young Nak Presbyterian Church in Myeongdong Seoul, South Korea." It also said when the earlier church was founded, but really made no claim of notability, hence I deleted it. If the author or someone else were to recreate the article and it asserted notability and cited the sources that were there, it would not get speedied.

Hello. After running into you at the College Football WikiProject, I went and took a look over your contribs, and you struck me as someone who would be a capable administrator.

Sitakunda Upazila has gone through a rigorous peer review that dealt mostly in content (thanks to Amartya). Then it was put forward as a WP:GAN, but was withdrawn by Miranda as she disagreed very much with the quality of the copy. I have formally applied to the LOCE Request page, but it has long backlog and it's always nicer to work with individuals. The article has almost no content issues (apart from a few redlinks) and is very stable at the point. I myself am a lousy copywriter, but I will be there to meet you every need in developing the article (that includes answering questions, filling in gaps, clarifying information and everything in that line)... I promise. I have high hopes for the article. As far as I can see, all that stands between an FA status and this article are "brilliant prose" and a few, really few, areas of content improvement.

Hi Keeper - thanks for your participation in my request for adminship. I'm glad you approved of my answers, and I appreciated your support. I also appreciate your catching the fact that I had quite unintentially called User:Tasc0 a BLP violator and a block-evading sock (I was tired). Anyway, the RfA passed 52/0/0, and I'm now in possession of a shiny new mop. If I can ever help you with anything, please don't hesitate to contact me.

The G4 was an error on my part. I closed the AfD discussion because the article had been A7 speedied just as the AfD opened, but apparently the A7 was revoked soon afterward. (No, I didn't put the A7 on.) When I saw that the page was still hanging around, I thought that it was a re-creation of deleted material, so I put a G4 on it, then realized my mistake. Confused yet?

Thanks for your offer of help with this new page.
I have used the format found on other director (particularly SA director - e.g. the Richard Stanley wiki page) sites. I guess I'm struggling to understand what is meant by 'notability'. De Mezieres is one of a fairly small number of South African directors, and the film I refer to in the article is seen as groundbreaking, was socially impactful, and won several awards. Does that make it 'notable'?
Is it a question of adding more referencing?
I'm an academic by profession, so have little doubt I can meet the criteria for the page. But I'm finding it hard to negotiate the help pages and work out quite what I'm doing wrong.
Any help you can offer will be greatly appreciate.
Jane
Thanks so much for your follow up message.
I think one of the issues is a more general lack of writing about South African films, which makes it hard to tick some of the boxes on notability that wiki outlines. However, I can certainly beef up the referencing - I've really just got started on the page.
This might be well beyond the call of duty for you, but it might help me to grasp what's lacking by comparison to a similar page on a similar topic, like this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Stanley_%28film_director%29 . Richard Stanley is clearly a more established director, in that he has a few more credits. But Bokkie (the De Mezieres film) was critically acclaimed and is used, for example, in several South African universities as an example of really good South African filmmaking. So I don't think the two directors are that dissimilar in terms of experience or impact. If you could perhaps tell me what's lacking in the de Mezieres page that's present in the Stanley one, I can address the gaps more competently.
Edited to add: I looked at a couple of other SA film directors' pages, and they seem to have similar structures too - e.g. this one http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timothy_Greene and this one, which is a 'stub' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gavin_Hood
Re your query about the term 'mockumentary': It is often applied in contexts other than comedy. For example, The Blair Witch was regarded as a mockumentary - and it wasn't terribly funny! Similarly the war of the worlds thing that Orson Welles did wasn't really noted for its comedic value.
Thanks again for your help with all this. It's greatly appreciated. I've got to go offline for the next 24 hours or so, but do look forward to reading any help you can offer when I get back.
Regards Jane

I am unsure why this page was deleted since it was flagged as being "under construction". I had seen the original page in the deleted que and took the time to contact this company to gain factual information on them. I can see why their last page was deleted since I agree it was blatant advertising. That being said, I inquired as to their history, etc. and actually made an entry for them that was unbiased, neutral and strictly factual. I do not understand how you can claim it was the same page, since it was not. Please explain as to why a page with fully edited information(and in process of construction) was deleted, when it was not due to being blatant advertising in my entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Realestatereviews (talk • contribs) 15:52, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I created a page for the band Stuck Backwards who has received international press coverage as well as national radio exposure. They are frequently a part of national radio programs and should have exposure on wikipedia.

Yes, I have an account on Wiktionary. The biggest problem with Wikt is not the introduction of neologisms; it is the introduction of unsourced information, period. I consider a sourced neologism to be superior to an unsourced word in moderately common to uncommon use (say Wikt:laser for the former and Wikt:sylph for the latter). One of the strengths of Wiktionary is to be able to deal with newly emerging or extremely uncommon though valid terms through sourcing their emergence and use. However, sourcing is more of a problem to get editors to do over there than it is here, and we know what a problem it is here. Regards, User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 01:02, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello there again, young janitor – FYI, when you close AFDs, you need to put the top template above the headline, not below. If you don't, the log page for that date gets messed up and Mathbot doesn't count it as closed. Guess how I learned that? ;-)
I fixed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The RealCycle Network for you, but you should probably check others you've closed to be sure they're correct. It would be considerably simpler for us if every XFD closing procedure were the same but they're all different; some have the top tag above the headline, like AFD, and some have it below, like WP:TFD. Don't know why that is, but somebody oughta make a law or something. Take care – KrakatoaKatie 08:43, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

The typical DR process hasn't flown out of the window with the addition of term limits; it's still in place. And if it fails, the term limit evaluation will kick in to enforce accountability by the community at large. Your lame duck argument assumes that an administrator will not be subject to DR when its reach is the same. The difference is that DR at the arbcom level is a check by admins - admins judging other admins. The term limits evaluation by the community is the balance, a homage to the Roman assemblies of the people. —Viriditas | Talk 18:26, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hello Keeper76, Thank you very much for your advice. Some sources that you requested that I have come across are press releases abou All My Sons as well as the hit reality show Extreme Makeover. On that site, there is a link back to All My Sons which I think has set the company apart. As the codes have stated, I wanted to make sure that you understand this is not an advertising for the company in any way shape or form. Rather, I want to put up the history of the company and the impact it has made in various metropolitan cities across the United States. If there is any direction in which you can point me in to make my information comply with the standards of Wikipedia, I am all ears. I await your response Keeper76 and hope to hear your advice. Thanks again for keeping such a great encyclopedia free to users across the web.
You asked me to mention any questions I had with your first batches of deletions. A7 does not apply to works of creative works, such as Snakes and Ladders (film) its a broad group of things specifically exempted in WP:CSD. On the other hand, you can speedy the author and the actors as A7, just not the film.
The temptation is to go too fast. You'll see some complaints on my talk page. some are justified--they've generally been when I've been in a rush , or tired, or even a little lazy & took a short-cut.

Dear Keeper76:
I was surprised to see that the entry for Irene H. Maumenee was deleted.
I added the entry; i slightly revised text on website: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/wilmer/employees/cvs/Maumenee.html
I am the original author of this text; I wrote it when I was employed by the Wilmer Eye Institute at Johns Hopkins.
I clearly did not understand how this works. Even though I am the original author, does Johns Hopkins now own the copyright?
If so, I'm merely curious. Why are pages of other Johns Hopkins faculty still included?
How do I go about resubmitting information about Dr. Maumenee?
Many thanks.

Hi you just closed an AFD for a band which upon further review could have been speedied as both the band's website and myspace were dead links, and only had some real trivial coverage. In the comments you said it could have been speedied. If, after I have nominated an article that either the AFD could have been withdrawn or speedied, is their any procedure for changing your position as a nominator? I'm just looking for a policy to point to or something. Thanks in advance -Optigan13 (talk) 04:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

That certainly cleared up the difference. Thanks also for the good words, I am having fun here and enjoying it very much. Even AfDs where I'm ultimately 'wrong' about notability or some other factor, I enjoy learning from. I do have one other question if you don't mind. You closed this AfD today as no consensus, which I completely agree with because the AfD was essentially a discussion back and forth. For 'odd' cases like this where it deals with an issue such as a UFO, what is a reliable source? Are there guidelines? The related article Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/UFO_sightings_in_Libya was easier because there was no 'list' and no substance but this one was harder. Is there something I could read to learn more on what to do in these cases? I'm trying to read more on WP:BAND these days as there are a huge number of bands in the backlog where I'm currently working and I hope to be able to better understand those, too.

One of the things they said on User:Gwernol's page was that they were not tolerant of other religions. Now the question switches to whether or not they were saying they don't tolerate other religions, or that Gwernol doesn't. But someone, as my experience would show, usually doesn't say such a thing about someone else unless it's how they personally feel, themselves. And what else can you say to such a person other than "so sorry to hear that"? You just have to pity a person who's mind has been closed, by whatever cause, from the beauty that's in all religions, and hope for the best for them.

I'm not sure how you can describe this as Patent nonsense. I provided usage in other documentation and comments from another developer on the actual definition. When you Google the word, you get several hits from reputable sources including the US Air Force and the Department of Energy's Office of Scientific & Technical Information. It can also be shown that this is also a derivative of parasequence another word that may not be commonly used, but is defined. However, the way in which parasequential is being applied in development is unique and necessary. It specifically deals with issues that have begun to arise in the past few years where processing and communication speeds have created a disconnect between the intended sequence of process events. (as described in the definition). So, what other information do I need to provide so that this entry can again be included.

Thank you for your consideration Keeper76
I wanted to tell you that I use Wikipedia frequently to debunk words. Mostly because colleges frequently misuse words and think that they are the first person to invent or discover a word. I am by no means a linguist or even a good speller, I just love language and the way people use it (even badly, like myself :-) ).
So when I initially began to research parasequential, which was being used in recent development projects to describe an increasingly pervasive situation where we deal with integration of various systems (primarily integrating older, slower systems with newer, faster systems) I thought it was a situation where certain developers were trying to sound more sophisticated than they were. Intent on debunking their use of the word, I was shocked to find less than one page of Google results for the word. Further investigation revealed that “parasequence” was indeed a legitimate word and that the usage of parasequential was indeed appropriate and somewhat unique to our circumstances. Yet still in line with the limited way it was already being used. (Government, Mathematics, etc.)
So I thought this was my chance to give back to the people I have always debunked and to give back to WikiPedia which helped me do it in each case. So if it turns out that I don’t understand the situation in which a word is accepted, then at least I know I tried in good faith.
So I’ll again thank you for you input and ask you for your continued help.
Since the initial investigation, I’ve found more references to the word. In particular the government seems to be using it to describe a “spiral” situation. For instance a book refers to “Spiral Development” of military hardware where the hardware can be deployed seemingly out of the normal development sequence. This seems to stem from very timely events where military hardware is being developed and deployed at the same time; for instance the development of better defenses and protection for our soldiers in Iraq.
So I am going to attempt to add these references, but where I could use your help is with guidance on how to properly do this, or even whether I am wasting my time or not.

Hi, you asked what user Rrburke said that was potentially libelous; quote from Talk:Steven Seagal "Seagal himself is not an especially reliable source for biographical information about himself. ... What he says about his exploits should be treated with caution, if not outright scepticism, and requires verifiable corroboration" What about that is okay in Wikipedia? Additionally, the page on oversight says that it is for potentially libelous statements and I feel that this may be one.

Hi there. I'm Dan, and you're apparently my new coach. I've been really looking forward to moving ahead with this process.
It's hard to say why I want to be an administrator, as there is no one real reason that stands out. I am fascinated by not only Wikipedia's content but the concept itself; I see Wikipedia as the future of online information (as it practically is already). I have over 4000 edits, and I feel that I have at least a basic knowledge of the policies - I've read and reread them many times. I met an admittedly random goal of giving clear, detailed opinions to 50 AfD articles (a goal that took some time to meet). I have made significant, if not major, contributions to many articles, mostly in the Arizona WikiProject or other ones that interest me. While I haven't been perfect with my edits (I think in the beginning I made some mistakes - not necessarily policy violations), I really do think I have a clear picture of where Wikipedia should be. Verifiability, not truth, is the rule. The non-negotiability of WP:NPOV. The slightly more gray area of WP:N.
If I have any negatives now, it's that I sometimes have issues with the way users (and admins) deal with certain things on Wikipedia. I feel that some people forget the goal of accurate, verifiable information dissemination, and make Wikipedia into some sort of popularity contest. I have seen long, involved arguments that really don't have much to do with the constructive progression of Wikipedia as it has to do with the individual wikipolitical agendas of specific users. It occasionally looks as if the goal of Wikipedia is to be as beaurocratic as possible. I don't really get involved with these arguments (and when I have, it inevitably doesn't work out well), but it still bothers me that I might have to do these sorts of things to become an admin, instead of just making quality contributions and demonstrating a clear understanding of Wikipedia policy.
I suppose I want to become an administrator because I feel that I can pick up the proverbial mop and help keep Wikipedia on a positive growth path. When doing vandal patrol, instead of referring users to other admins when there is a chronic issue, I could do it myself. I don't think I need to explain that it's not the 'power' I'm looking for; a comprehensive look at my vandal patrol edits would show that I warn in friendly ways, assume good faith unless it's patently obvious vandalism, and don't make things personal. Beyond vandal patrol, I see myself involved with Wikipedia for a long time to come, and I would like to be more than just a content contributer - I would like to be as much a part of it as I can.
Feel free to respond on my talk page, or if it's easier, email me. I'm not sure exactly how this process works, so let me know if you need more specific information from me. Cheers, and thanks for being my coach. Tanthalas39 (talk) 03:38, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
I gotta say thank you Keeper. Seriously, thank you, because the RfA wouldn't have happened (or been at all successful) if you hadn't nominated. It's greatly appreciated —αlεx•mullεr 20:00, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello, friend! You know that I respect you, and you have asked for my opinions in the past, and you have received my frank feedback seemingly well in the past, so I am going to take a little risk here.
I wanted to ask you to please re-read the comment on my talk page from DGG that apparently you did not like earlier today. But this time, I'd like you to read it with a specific technique, which guides you to make certain assumptions that you might not have otherwise made. Written words are a very ineffective communication tool for having a conversation, because as humans we are so adept at reading non-verbal communications and nuances of the verbal communication like tone, speed, inflection of voice, etc, that when we read another persons words, like it or not, we tend to fill-in the gaps of all those other components that our brains "want", and it leads us sometimes to understand that which may not have been intended. Sometimes to the extent that we believe the exact opposite of what was said, was said. I am not saying that this is what happened, I just want to illustrate that it *could* have happened.
Here's how to do it (do in order, do not read ahead):
OK that's the whole exercise. The bigger peice of work would be figuring out how you came to the conclusion that DGG does not respect you and that your collaboration is not welcome. I don't know how to do that part. Jerry talk ¤ count/logs 00:05, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Bono and guitarist the Edge are in a plane crash and end up standing in front of God, who is seated on his giant white throne. God asks them the same question. First, He turns to the Edge. "Edge, tell me what you believe in." He responds, "I believe in Gibson guitars and in the fact that the world would be a much better place if we were alive to make more U2 records." God tells the Edge to take a seat at his right. "Now it's your turn, Bono," God says. "What do you believe in?" Bono replies, "I believe you're sitting in my seat."

Regarding this note you put up on the talk page of Generation Z [15] on 2 February 2008, I looked at the discussion [16] and the result was actually delete and not weak keep, and the discussion actually ended on 6 of February, four days after that notice 2 full years ago, ye gods. I assume the notice was put up mistakenly when the discussion was still ongoing. I am updating the deletion tag to be consistent with the discussion notice, and looking to restore the deletion notices on the article if I can find them --Enric Naval (talk) 14:21, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Visiting "At Wit's End"? Heck, I own a condo there.
All seriousness aside, thanks for the award. At least something good came out of that AfD discussion. If you saw my adversary's unmercifully-verbose arguments, you know what I mean. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 19:18, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
I do believe I have lost the title of most repetitive talk page topics. My counterpart talkpage do not have a single non-Admin Coaching topic. :) MBisanz talk 19:36, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
Wow! I wasn't looking for that, but thanks! (I was pretty sure I was in the right, but I wanted to be sure--esp since I was heading rapidly 3RR-ward.) Gladys J Cortez 20:06, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

For that great collection of funny quotes. My om had to ask me why I was rolling on the floor laughing (literally) THE KC (talk) 03:16, 4 March 2008 (UTC). |
I do not understand why a person who is now the leader of the Timor-Leste rebels and who attempted to assassinate the President and is now being pursued by the Australian and Timor Leste armies and police is not significant. Please explain. Ex nihil (talk) 01:15, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
...in fact, I've adopted quite a few new editors under my previous username. However, I've grown a bit wary of doing so. I got burned and big time by the likes of User:SuperDude115 and User:Wiki brah. I did figure that it was a kid writing about his school, so I didn't think it necessary to leave a warning. Thanks for your concern; it's certainly food for thought. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:39, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
Six features, baby. Three originals. :) Thanks for the compliment. It isn't the subject I'm concerned about. The lack of content has me worried. There seems to be enough info on the school's website that I can take a whack at it later, assuming it's still up. I don't want to clog AfD with a little thing like this. I'll see what I can do later; gotta run now. Thanks again. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:47, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
