 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result of the debate was no consensus.  Rob e  rt  23:00, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Chevrolet Apollo
Also Image:Chevroletapollo.jpg

This article was created by Willy vandal, who has a curious contribution history: offering commentary on other vandal socks, creating this article, adding it to Articles for deletion on September 16 without actually creating an Afd page (like this one). This needs to be researched as a possible hoax. -- Curps 16:36, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep this site seems to verify there is such a car.  I'm on my way out, so I can't verify the information in the article right now.  If someone else doesn't, I'll do it later this afternoon. --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 17:46, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Chevrolet Nova. Here's the deal.  There was a car by Buick named the Apollo, which was a rebadging of the Chevrolet Nova.  See the chevy nova article for a reference on this.  Also note that a google search for "chevrolet apollo" -wikipedia  turns out very few results, while "buick apollo"  turns out many more. --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 23:03, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. This is a real car. (The image is probably a copyvio however.) Andrew pmk | Talk 19:14, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Abstain -- I really don't know... but, it seems to me that this car says between 1989 and 1997... while the Chevy Appollo I've seen is from 73 to 75 as per that website and other things and looks different from the image. I don't really know... but, hoax definitely seems likely to me as of now.  I am putting the image up with  so it should be gone in 7 days if no one sources it. gren グレン 20:35, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Move to Merge into Holden Apollo with redirect. That seems to have the Google share: [keyword:%22holden%20apollo%22 9800 hits] with confirmation of the Camry link. Definitely needs cleanup, though. I can only find references to Australian sales (as I'd expect from a Holden). See also the Haynes manual here. — mendel ☎ 00:14, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * It seems like the holden apollo was a re-badged Toyota. The article on Chevy Apollo says, among other things it was manufactured by Chevy and Holden.  Have you found any information to prove that Chevy manufactured a version of the Apollo with Holden?  --best, kevin  · · · Kzollman | Talk · · · 01:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * I haven't found anything that confirms that a 1990s Chevy Apollo existed. That's why I think this article, which talks about the 1990s Holden Apollo based on the Camry, should be moved to Holden Apollo, and the unverifiable bits removed. — mendel ☎ 04:19, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Merge with Holden Apollo. -- Apyule 07:48, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (and don't merge, although the submitter's record makes me wonder if it's a copyvio). It does seem to be genuine. It seems GM released several cars under this name, based on a variety of different platforms.  In addition to the Holden/Toyota thing, it was also based on the Chevy Nova (see Chevy_Nova) - so I don't think there's a single vehicle-platform article we can sensibly merge'n'redirect to.  Is there a naff cars wikiproject at whom we can chuck this problem?  But delete the image - its redundant with images (of better provenance) that we already have. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 12:54, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Merge with Holden Apollo, the Chevy and Holden Apollo's clearly at least share the name. As the Holden page has no picture, I suggest using this picture on it. -Drdisque 22:22, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Harmony search algorithm
Hi, you left a messege on "harmony search algorithm" that it lacks citation. So I added references of 28 journal papers and 5 book chapters. Actually it has been cited by over 100 major publications including journals, conference proceedings, book chapters, degree thesis, and technical reports from all over the world. Although the algorithm was invented in 2001, during the short time, it is gathering popularity. I need you to decide again after you search Google, Science Citation Expended, Elservier, or Springer. I also need WIKIPEDIA contain emerging topics. Thanks.

St. Louis Wiki re: T.S. Eliot
Well, per your invite, here I am. I'm not enough computer geek to know where and how to insert the text box. If I could, I would invite you to peruse an Encyclopedia Americana, Collier's Encyc. or the like. A few articles, start with a one line quote from somewhere else. On point, with what follows, but hardly Encyclopedia Brittanica. Meanwhile, the quote remains in limbo. I'm starting to wonder if attribution is even necessary for a one sentence errr. 35 words. And that's if you count St. separately from Louis. Well, at least we have resolved the Saint vs. St. business. See where I put it and let me know, I'm still open to compromise.

Let me repeat myself, at the risk of redundancy. A short sentence, immediately following:

"The city has several common nicknames, including the "Gateway City", "Gateway to the West", and "Mound City". St. Louis is also sometimes called "St. Louie", "River City", "Baseball City USA", and in a coinage popularized by native hip hop artist Nelly, "The Lou". As a backlash to this new term that was devised by Nelly, many high school to college-age people who live in St. Louis have begun to call it "The STL" because it better represents the city."?Mark Preston 03:19, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

After some ramblings over the 'net, the only "reason" that I find that T. Williams disliked St. L., was that he was "poor" while his classmates weren't "poor". I can understand his childhood dislike for being nicknamed "Tennessee", but, he does eventually take that name; and for him, now (and forever) he is known by that (detested) nickname. I'm not saying we need a T. Williams quote to "balance" the Eliot quote.

On a incongrously similar matter, as you have an interest in architecture, and St. Louis architecture specifically, have you seen?

Sam Graves POV
I am writing an article about ARMPAC and documenting all the recipients who got more than $30,000 of those funds and those from my home state. This is a current topic in the news.

In Wikipedia, a Point of view or POV is one way of looking at an issue. Wikipedia seeks a neutral point of view by including all relevant POVs while explicitly attributing them to those who hold them. It's a fact that Sam Graves received $35,000 from ARMPAC. Tom DeLay is being prosecuted for laundering corporate campaign contributions money through ARMPAC. This is clearly dirty money. It is a fact that Sam Graves has not returned that money to date. If you feel this is a one-sided view of an issue, perhaps correct the ARMPAC and Sam Graves article so that it includes the relevant information that I am not aware of. But please do not delete the facts because they don't suit your political POV. kgrr talk 20:19, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

"Bigfoot in Japan"
What's with this entry on October 10? It was rammed in beside another entry and doesn't make any sense on its own. It's already been removed once, but you put it back in without explanation, and didn't even bother doing it properly.

To cap it all, you put "rvv" (revert vandalism) as your edit summary, trying to blame the person who had removed it in the first place.

Fourohfour 23:01, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Sorry. Thanks for catching this.  I was trying to revert User:Gary Imrie who had inserted his own birthday and a link to his vanity page Gary Imrie (with the notation "hobbit") in the article.  I noticed an anonymous edit before that with "bigfoot in Japan" and thought they had both been vandalism.  It seems the anonymous editor had removed the vandalism, not added it, so when I reverted, the bigfoot reference was still there.  Sorry.  Your reversion seems to have restored Gary Imrie, hobit though.  I will fix that now.  TMS63112 23:32, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

 * Perhaps Gary Imrie really *is* a "Hobit" (^_^)
 * Seriously, apology accepted, the misunderstanding was mine; particularly bad as I then went and repeated your mistake after taking you to task for it :-/
 * Fourohfour 00:52, 20 December 2005 (UTC)

Sam Graves
You're right, I shouldn't have marked that one as a minor edit. I felt that the number wasn't relevant to the article, though I was also a bit offended at the presence of numbers from the DCCC's "House of Scandal". I don't like a lot of the things that DeLay and the Republicans in Congress have done, but I don't think that Wikipedia's articles should carry talking points for the Democrats or for any party. The source is still present, so the fraction of people that follows the link will still see the numbers. I'll do my best to be more careful about the "minor edit" box in the future, especially when my edits touch polarizing figures like DeLay. NatusRoma 02:14, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

RfA thanks from Deathphoenix
Hi TMS,

I just wanted to thank you for supporting me in my RfA, and for your kind comments there. To tell you the truth, I was surprised by all the support I've gotten. I never saw myself as more than an occasional Wiki-hobbyist.

My wife sends her curses, as Wikipedia will likely suck up more of my time. She jokingly (I think) said she was tempted to log on to Wikipedia just to vote Oppose and let everyone know that she didn't want her husband to be an admin.

I'll make sure your trust in me is founded. --Deathphoenix 15:20, 28 December 2005 (UTC)

St Stanislaus
Hello, I'm the mediator assigned to the articles St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (Saint Louis) and Raymond Leo Burke. You are receiving this message because you have been named as one of the users who have intensely participated in developing these articles. Over the past few days, there has been a dispute over the neutrality of the articles with numerous anonymous users making what have been characterised as biased edits. The obvious thing to do would be to make a compromise version, and User:Kenj0418 seems to think that versions Raymond Leo Burke 18:40, 4 January 2006 and St. Stanislaus Kostka Church (Saint Louis) 00:33, 4 January 2006 may be those versions. Could you please review them and let me know if you think they are OK. Thanks. Izehar 10:42, 5 January 2006 (UTC)

7 Mile
Thanks for the kind comments you left on my talk page. It seems we have a lot of interests in common. As to Political Graveyard, I have enjoyed putting it together, and I'm always happy to hear that people find the site interesting or useful. As to 7 Mile, I guess I don't object to the existence of the article, rather, I was mostly reacting to the tone of some of the text. I lived in Detroit for 3 years when I was in law school. Though I didn't enjoy living there, I often find myself correcting non-Detroiters' misconceptions about the place. Kestenbaum 21:47, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

The most interesting articles involving Wisconsin Wiki Project I came across were:Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Strangite),Voree, Wisconsin,and Voree Plates all in Burlington, Wisconsin-the Latter-Day Saints presence in Wisconsin.I added categories involving Wisconsin to them and an additional website to the Voree, Wisconsin article.I also added a paragraph to the Burlington, Wisconsin.Interesting-Hope you are doing well.Thank you-RFD 17:31, 3 February 2006 (UTC)PS-I may end up getting comments from the Latter Day Saints wikipedians;I will ley you know on that one...

Purina and Koch
Yes. This article by Consumers Union (best known as the published of Consumer Reports) spells it out. It's not that the merger wasn't approved - it was. It's just that Purina declared bankrupcy, and Koch sold out, I believe because the bankrupcy judge said they had to. Note also: This Koch site says "In January 1999, Dave [Robertson] became president of Koch Agriculture Company, managing the downsizing of Koch's agriculture interests, including its divestiture of Purina Mills, Inc." And this news source says simply that Koch dropped its Purina Mills holding, without saying why.

 * I think at one point they held 90%+, then went down to 5%, then dropped out altogether. It's so complicated, figuring out who owns who in the corporate world! Sometimes the lines all blur together. All the best, – Quadell (talk) (bounties) 21:22, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Deletion
Thanks. I don't mind. I saw the wiki disclaimer not to contribute unless you're comfortable having the article frequently edited or in this case deleted. so that's ok with me JDMBAHopeful 22:08, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Matt Blunt
Hey, I am not comfortable with your decision to delete the info on Matt Blunt. If you're concerned about neutrality, you should delete the whole end of the article, as, while it is factual information, it is universally negative. My information is factual,as well. It's not appropriate that a political article can be used to bash a politician, but not to present any information that could be interpreted as positive. While it could be viewed in a positive light, my edit provided both context for Matt Blunt's election and served (I think) as a very modest counterbalance to the one-sided information that had been added to the end of the article. I respectfully request that you either re-add my information or delete the negative slant that precedes it. In fact, if the standard you seem to be applying is to be fairly applied (which it clearly has not been here), politician pages will be limited essentially to the mechanical. Birthdate, birthplace, year elected, etc. If there's no room to mention an achievement, there is also no room to mention failures, platforms, campaign promises, criticisms, polls, or praise. I can agree that outright praise is not necessarily appropriate, but by the same token, the criticisms mentioned earlier are not appropriate, either. If you can find someone to claim on the record that balancing budgets is a bad thing, that Blunt didn't have a part in it, or that the budget wasn't a part in Holden's downfall and Blunt's election, then we can talk. Otherwise, I hope you'll agree that this is essential information about Blunt's governorship and should, in the proper context, be included.

Sorry about the format of this and everything. I'm still getting used to the interface here, having just signed up this morning. I'll check into the sources. Were the "budget controversies" cited? I don't know offhand, and am afraid I'll lose this page if I check. I find it really appalling though that so much attention was paid to the first steps program in particular (which I have never heard mentioned once outside this site), while the budget itself was mentioned seemingly only as an accessory. Anyway, I'm not wanting to get into an in-depth debate on this. I was concerned at first that you might be trying to bias the article by omission, but I'm comfortable now that your intentions are honorable. I'll work on the sourcing, and please give me your feedback in the future.

Cowboydan76 22:03, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

 * Perhaps we should mention something about Jessica's law. I'm not sure if you saw the State of the State speech or not, but he seemed to emphasize his committment to that bill more strongly than anything else besides his satisfaction with the budget.  He was mentioned on the O'Reilly Factor last year as a governor apparently doing nothing to get the bill going.  He appeared on the show a night or two later to announce his committment to it, and it's been near the top of his agenda ever since.  Not sure about where to go for sources...if O'Reilly is ever mentioned in print, it's generally an attack, and the Post-Dispatch (which is one of the more left-wing papers in the country) isn't likely to cover anything with the kind of widespread appeal of Jessica's Law any more than they have to when it comes to republicans.

Cowboydan76 01:17, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Jessica's Law
I realized upon closer reading that the link that "Jessica's Law" redirected to was specifically about the federal legislation, so I created a page specifically about the Florida state law and its campaign on the state level. I wrote only what I knew off the top of my head and didn't source it due to lack of time, but marked it as a stub so that people will know it's not authoritative.

Notable Churches
I am so frustrated; I wrote a reply earlier today, but since Wikipedia database was temporarily protected, it didnt get through! You can probably guess that I don't want to write the whole thing over again; basically I said that I looked at the articles in Category:Churches even before you suggested it. In short, I do not want to write an article that could possibly be a candidate for deletion. However, the church I have in mind is relatively larger (as far as attendance) than most other churches I know of, albeit not a "megachurch" or "superchurch" (this one has a few hundred people attending each service, and there are two services). The most notable aspect of the article would be the fact that one of the ministries of this church is a Christian school containing a few hundred students from pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade. Since this church has many ministries, I could definitely expand it a lot; however, that alone doesn't make an article deserve to be on Wikipedia. So, I don't know... any thoughts? EdGl 00:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC) (P.S. Thanks for your previous advice)
 * It seems that the school would be considered more notable even though it is a mere division of the church. Isn't that weird? Haha. Surely if the school is notable then the church is too(?) (if that's the case then I'll make an article for the church as well). I don't know what I'm gonna do; writing about the church in the school's article would seem weird since I could probably write more about the church (although I could be wrong). We'll see what happens. Anyway, I'm not gonna start on any articles until I get enough information on the school and/or church. I'm sick of re-wording this paragraph; sorry if it's confusing EdGl 02:15, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for taking the time to vote in my RfA, which passed with a final vote of 54/2/1 despite my obvious inadequacy for the job. I'll do my level best to use the mop and bucket — or, as I said in my RfA, plunger — responsibly. Of course, in the best tradition of politicans everywhere, I've already broken a campaign promise (I blocked a vandal last night despite having said "I don't anticipate using the blocking tool very often"). Nevertheless, I'll try not to let the unbridled power corrupt me. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 19:33, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

WTF
Where do you get the audacity to tell me Im not a realtive of Auguste Chouteau?!?!?! For you're information I AM!!!!!!!!!! and the next time you try to delete it from the website saying that its not true, I will take you to court. I have records and I'm not afriad to use them. don't test me, -samramfan12345

WTF #2
My tone is not appropriate? What about you? Making up that you "research(ed)" Chouteau? That's very classy (you couldn't even site your sources!). Now about my legal threats, according to Missouri state law, amendment 5, line 3-5 "dispute over facts posted on websites, web blogs, or any world wide web affiliation may be settled under a court hearing...". I have every right and even the responsibility to take you to court. So don't give me I am threating you illegally. The people who were posted (which I might add are neither me nor people I am very familiar with even though one has my same first name) are notable people in the Saint Louis community. I don't know if you live in Saint Louis or have even been to Saint Louis but these two men are on the Ladue and Clayton "walk of fame". Wikipedia's rules do not override state laws. If you must keep deleting these names, I will ask for your name and adress so a court hearing can be made.

Category:Pro-choice politicians
Hi there, I noticed that you added several people to the Pro-choice cat and I was wondering about your criteria. I don't know the positions of these people very well so all that i know is what I can find quickly on Google, Smart Voter, etc. Seems like Schumer and Durbin are good fits, and I couldn't find a source on Wendell Bailey (other than wikipedia), but I have no reason to doubt you. I have the impression that Biden's record on this is very mixed. He has voted for a ban on partial birth, but generally opposed efforts to criminalize abortion. ontheissues.org says that he only gets a 36% score from NARAL. What are your sources? -MrFizyx 19:04, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually upon further review I agree with your designation of Biden, it appears that he has come back into favor with NARAL in recent years. I think the issue positions and interest group rating on Project Vote Smart are as good a basis as any other for this.  I sometimes wish wikipedia was not so focused on putting every article into categories, it tends to gloss over grey areas.  You seem to be using good judgement.  If you come up with good criteria for others to follow you might post your suggestions on the Pro-choice/Pro-lifecategory talk pages. -Regards, MrFizyx 13:55, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Reminder...
When using template tags on talk pages, don't forget to substitute with text by adding subst: to the template tag. For example, use {{subst:test}} instead of {{test}}. This reduces server load and prevents accidental blanking of the template. — Ian Manka Talk to me‼ 03:03, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Warren Hearnes
You were exactly right about the article-- the section on his accomplishments in office makes him sound like a saint. That needs to be shortened and toned down to talk about what he did but also what he didn't do, or criticisms of him, or something. I just thought it didn't sound like a very fair encyclopedia article. Also maybe some more on what he did before or after he was governor, and maybe something more about his wife, who is a politician in her own right-- my area is really British royalty, but you seem to do a lot of work with Missouri articles and maybe you can improve what's there- I am familiar with MO but Gov. Hearnes is really before my time- Thanks! TysK 21:33, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks- what you did was a big improvement- it sounds much more professional and "encyclopedic." I made a few minor changes of my own, but as I said I'm not really an expert, so... anyway, see my comments on the talk page for more details. TysK 03:35, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

Hope you are doing well-
Hi! I hope you are doing well. I enjoy being part of the WikiProject Wisconsin. Solanus Casey and Mackville, Wisconsin are among the articles I started. The Aquinas High School archives room in La Crosse, Wisconsin is now open. I spend 2-3 days per week in the archives room. There has been some interesting articles about Archbishop Raymond Leo Burke in the archives. With deep regret, Bishop John Joseph Paul passed away on March 5, 2006. Bishop Paul was an Aquinas graduate-class of 1935. Again, I hope you are doing well.RFD 14:01, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

Re: Pennsylvania Senate Race
Hello! I agree that the article does seem to need some work. I have tried various edits to polish it up a bit, but I agree that it could benefit from more of a change. I did a bit of reformatting today, but I still think that it could be improved upon. The third party/candidates no longer running sections seem to be too large for the rest of the article, but I don't exactly know how to cut it down anymore. Perhaps if those candidates were put into a small paragraph instead of listed individually, since Hafer and Hoeffel, for instance, considered running for a very short period of time and both ultimately endorsed Casey, and thus their campaign descriptions are very similar to one another.

Also, the controversy sections, while containing information that could likely affect the Senate race, seem to be quite lengthy and are both mentioned in the articles of the respective candidates themselves. Maybe the entire controversy section can be removed and simply be linked to the aforementioned sections on the individual candidate pages.

Hopefully that's a good start. Feel free to rearrange the formatting I just did if you think you can do better. The lists of the major party, minor party, and former candidates all together like that are just quite daunting. Let me know how you feel about changes to the article/articles as well.

Jeff Smith (American politician)
The article looks great to me. My thanks and congratultions on putting together a good article, which is something I rather doubt I've done even once. By the way, I would like to formally invite you to consider joining the WikiProject Missouri. You did excellent work here and we would all welcome any input you would like to give.

Claire McCaskill
I noticed your dispute with User:Abacab relating to the Claire McCaskill article. I agree with you that the failure of Wikipedia to report on her alleged drug use does not constitute a violation of the NPOV policy. Having said that, I have reverted his re-inclusion of the NPOV tag, and suggested on the article's Talk page that if he insists on tagging the article that he use the factual accuracy dispute tag. --TommyBoy 00:05, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your response to my message. On the issue of including the information in the article, I believe any inclusion must strictly follow Wikipedia policies and guidlines including but not limited to biographies of living persons and NPOV. --TommyBoy 18:01, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

I have added the information relating to the federal drug investigation, citing the source provided in the discussion on Talk:Claire McCaskill, and removed the "disputed" tag from the article page. --TommyBoy 07:17, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Michael Harrington
I thought the Missouri tag was for a sports personality of the same name from that state! Sorry! However, I don't see that this Michael Harrington's life had so much to do with Missouri that the state project should take it up. But I guess that's a matter of judgment. Put it back up if you think it is appropriate; I don't really have a stake in an argument here! Dwalls 03:06, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of John Bass

The article John Bass has been proposed for deletion  because of the following concern:
 * Article lacks sources to give this person notability in the context of an encyclopaedia

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bill Phelps

A tag has been placed on Bill Phelps requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.nevadadailymail.com/story/2427292.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay.

Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/RoySmith

 * ''The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a successful request for adminship. Please do not modify it.

RoySmith
Final (27/6/0) ended 16:37 October 9, 2005 (UTC) (UTC)'''

– I've been editing for almost a year with 1600 edits. I've been quite active on WikiProject Disambiguation, and spend a lot of time reverting vandalism to pages I watch. It's for this latter task that I seek adminship; to make it easier to revert pages using the fancy admin revert tool. I see that some people seem to be hung up on proper use of edit summaries. I use them most of the time, often don't bother on talk pages, occasionally forget, and once in a while produce bizarrely incorrect ones when Safari surprises me with an auto-fill on the text box that I didn't expect. Such is life. RoySmith 16:37, 2 October 2005 (UTC)

 * Candidate, please indicate acceptance of the nomination here:

 * 7) Merovingian (t) (c) 06:42, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * 8) Support. This edit count inflation is getting out of control. 1600 edits is "way too low of an edit count for an admin"? It wasn't too long ago that 1000 was the magic number, then it seemed to rise to 1500. Is it at 2000 now? Not everyone has the time to make 10+ edits a day. Carbonite | Talk 19:30, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * comment since your directly quoting me... 1000 has never been my standard, hell I know SOCKPUPPETS with more than 1000 edits. The fact of the matter is 1600 total edits is not enough to spot tendancies of a person. Hell we've seen users with many more than 1600 edits flaunt the rules (e.g. everyking, ed poor, rickk just to name a couple) at this point I dont think there is enough history to see if said person has the temperment for admin powers. My standard is not just editcountitis, but involves a measure of time as well. I personally prefer AT LEAST 2500 edits, but more importantly at LEAST 1 full year of editing. I think that this is typically adequate to gauge someones tendancies and agressiveness. However those with low yearly edit counts are also infrequent enough contributors as to not give enough material to base a decision upon. thats my $0.02 worth anyway  ALKIVAR ™[[Image:Radioactive.svg|18px|]] 03:14, 4 October 2005 (UTC)
 * A study done over this past summer showed that admin nominees with more than 1000 edits but less than 2000 edits were successful nominations 48% of the time. 2001 edits to 3000 the figure was 83%, a 35% increase. Indeed, the bar does seem to be 2000 at which voters seem to think a nominee is suddenly imbued with the qualities that would make a good admin. --Durin 20:24, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Durin! Very informative, if a bit disturbing. Maybe edit count standards are somehow linked to fuel prices. Not sure how else to explain 1600 edits being considered a rather small number. Carbonite | Talk 21:14, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Also, I strongly support the position of others about editcountitis, it may not be fatal but sure can make some for some distorted appraisals.

I was more worried about his self-proclaimed deletionism, but I couldn't find a single case where I disagreed with him on his AfD vote (and I did look!).

I'm slightly disappointed with the amount of material he added to the encyclopaedia (at least in the block of edits that I checked), but we need different kinds of editors and also different kind of admins.

Neutral

Comments
 * A chart showing this user's edits along with a total number of edits line and average edits per day line is available here: Image:RoySmith-edits.png. I offer this not as a more refined version of editcountitis, but as just one tool to help evaluate an admin nominee with a somewhat low edit count on Wikipedia. --Durin 13:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Uses edit summaries 81% of the time, 86.6% of the time over the last 500 edits. Average edits per day is 5.3, 7.7 over the last 90 days. --Durin 13:58, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I don't know if it's appropriate (or even wise) for me to comment on my own case, but I'll be bold and do so anyway. I'm honestly a little surprised at how much weight is being given to how many edits I've made.  The numbers are what the numbers are, and there seem to be plenty of good tools to slice and dice the stats and make pretty pictures out of them.  Make what you will of the numbers, but I can't help wonder if this is the right way to judge a candidate.  Does anybody care how many briefs Harriet Miers has written, or do they care what she wrote in them?  Do people marvel at how many at-bats Hank Aaron had, or do they celebrate how many home runs he hit?  If I had made 10 meaningless edits per day for the past year, my edit count would be up over 3000 by now; would that make me a better candidate?  I would feel much more comfortable about the process if somebody were to say, "I watched Roy's actions during XXX and based on that I have my doubts about his judgement, character, wisdom, temperment, intelligence, whatever".  At least that would be a reasonable objection.  Likewise, I'd be much happier to read somebody say about me, "I really liked the way he handled XYZ", than, "Roy's got a awesome edit count".  --RoySmith 21:41, 3 October 2005 (UTC)
 * RoySmith, the creation of the charts and the statistics on your average edits and use of edit summaries is intended to get peopel to stop depending upon simple edit counts as a means of judging the worthiness of a nominee. I wholeheartedly agree that edit counts are a very, very poor way of trying to objectively measure a candidate. Indeed, objective measures are difficult at best. Having the chart and some figures on your use of edit summaries and your activity level gives us additional tools to evaluate you; it is not intended to be the only tool. Anyone doing so is making a very poor choice. Please see User:Durin/Admin nominee charts. Thank you, --Durin 22:11, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

Questions for the candidate

A few generic questions to provide guidance for voters:
 * 1. What sysop chores, if any, would you anticipate helping with? (Please read the page about administrators and the administrators' reading list.)
 * A. As stated above, I do a lot of vandalism fixing, and cleanup of dab pages.
 * 2. Of your articles or contributions to Wikipedia, are there any about which you are particularly pleased, and why?
 * A. Created Disambig-cleanup and the associated Category:Disambiguation pages in need of cleanup. I'm proud of this for two reasons; first because I think it was a useful tool for the project, and second because in creating them, I had to learn a few bits of wiki-technology to get it to work right.
 * 3. Have you been in any conflicts over editing in the past or do you feel other users have caused you stress? How have you dealt with it and how will you deal with it in the future?
 * A. Absolutely.  One of my earliest conflicts was with User:Supercool Dude (who I believe is the same person as User:24.44.23.111) regarding many edits he was making to City Island (New York) and a number of other related articles.  They weren't quite vandalism, but the quality of writing (structure, diction, grammar, spelling, conformance to the MoS, etc) was quite low, and included many statements which were both difficult (if not impossible) to believe and not supported by references.  He also had a possessive attitude about what he wrote, insisting that they were his articles.  It was a challenge to both improve the articles and avoid getting embroiled in conflict, but I believe I was (for the most part) successful at both.

 * BTW, are the recent edits to Sextant by User:201.145.99.216 a covert test of my ability to deal with wiki-stress? If so, how am I doing? :-) --RoySmith 22:28, 2 October 2005 (UTC)
 * The above adminship discussion is preserved as an archive of the discussion. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the talk page of either this nomination or the nominated user). No further edits should be made to this page.

Euippe

Euippe or Evippe  (Εὐίππη) is the name of eight women in Greek mythology:
 * Euippe, a daughter of Danaus and the naiad Polyxo. She married (and murdered) Imbrus, son of Aegyptus and Caliadne.
 * Euippe, another daughter of Danaus, this time by an Ethiopian woman. She married either Argius, son of Aegyptus and a Phoenician woman, or Agenor, son of Aegyptus.
 * Euippe, another name for Hippe, daughter of Chiron.
 * Euippe of Paionia, the mother, by Pierus, of the Pierides, nine sisters who challenged the Muses and, on their defeat, were turned into magpies.
 * Euippe (daughter of Tyrimmas). She bore Odysseus a son, Euryalus, who was later mistakenly slain by his father.
 * Euippe, daughter of Leucon. She bore Andreus a son, Eteocles, king of Orchomenus (not to be confused with Eteocles, son of Oedipus).
 * Euippe, daughter of Daunus, the king of a people in Italy. She was loved by Alaenus, half-brother of Diomedes.
