Agathoclea is taking a short wikibreak and will be back on Wikipedia soon.

Excuse me...but i don't understand why my page was deleted...it's not an attack on anyone...it's my page about myself....i don't intend to attack myself...that's a bit silly. i just want to know why it was deleted.

1) An article about yourself can only stay if it is relevant or "notable" and "verifiable". If you want people to get to know you I suggest one of the many Social Network sites. 2) While you claim that this is you this can at this stage not be proven. The kind of comments you made can therefore not even stand on a userpage. Agathoclea (talk) 14:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, just wanted to clarify my edit to the Ogwen talk page. The reason I removed the "WP Wales" tag was that I'd just turned the article about the supposed village of Ogwen (complete with huge UK place infobox!) into a disambiguation page. If it's normal for a disambiguation page to be in WP Wales that's fine by me, just wondered maybe you'd missed the main edit? Cheers, Enaidmawr (talk) 18:40, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

nope - disambigs are borderline as far as WP's are concerned but in this case it is an all Welsh topic so I wanted to keep the marker albeit with a Class=NA. Agathoclea (talk) 19:13, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, makes sense. Enaidmawr (talk) 19:17, 30 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Lily - the novel, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Enaidmawr (talk · contribs) is quite active, though I think he says he tends to stick to the Welsh-language 'pedia. He'd be my suggestion. Regards, Bencherlite^Talk 06:14, 24 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much. That's nice. Sebastian scha. (talk) 16:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments directed to me in Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Michael_Gottlieb_Agnethler were rude and uncalled for. --RandomHumanoid^(⇒) 22:14, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Have you ever heard the story of the boy who cried wolf? It is not just yourself - it seems a common problem that by constantly restating their position against a large number of opposing opinions they can actually change public opinion. The opposite actually happens and should you actually have something of merit to say it will not be listened to due to the "tiring" effect I made reference to. Agathoclea (talk) 22:23, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You are making a category error. Discussion and crying wolf are not comparable. Regardless, lead by example, not by being rude. You'll notice that I insulted no one in my comments.--RandomHumanoid^(⇒) 22:29, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I've seen your comments on the category renaming discussions, and I think you've made some very good points. For quite a while, I and a few others on WP:UKGEO have thought we need a longer, more detailed look at this tier of local government and how it is described and organised on wikipedia for the UK, but possibly restricted to England and Wales for now. There seem to be a few problems, not least of which is the Infobox, which needs a lot of work doing to it including to the name, which is not neutral at all. We've tought of setting up a specific taskforce to deal with the issues and make suggestions which people can dicsuss in more formal ways, and which we think may be better done in a unified way than the piecemeal changes that often get proposed (as is the case with these current category proposals) and which may have undesired side-effects and consequences (as I think we can see if the proposals for Wales go through). So, I'm wondering if you would think such a taskforce would be at all useful, and, if so, if we set one up, whether you would be interested in contributing to it: such a taskforce would probably be assisted greatly by your knowledge of how things are done in Wales.  DDStretch  (talk) 12:19, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Certainly. I can also bring in some ideas from WP Germany where the infobox has dealt with this situation. Agathoclea (talk) 13:06, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Agathoclea, thanks for the tip on a better way to delete excess pages. I'm all for less red tape, in fact I'd do it myself if it were allowed, and wasn't considered bad form. I'll use that tag from now on. I'll assume that I just copy the {{}} and text inside, then paste at the top of the page, unless otherwise notified. Thanks again, and have a good one.

Hi Agathoclea, thanks for the temporary semi-protection to the Glasvegas article. Can you have a look at Real Radio (Scotland), it looks like it's having the same problem from the same sock puppet vandals. Thanks, --JD554 (talk) 08:17, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. When I have a bit more time I will take a closer look at your SSP report. I would appreciate if you would add the already blocked users for completion - mark them as blocked - in order to get the fuller picture. Also has

been clearly identified as the Rab Allan that is mentioned in the article? Agathoclea (talk) 09:18, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. I'll have a look at seeing which users have already been blocked for similar vandalism to the two articles. I don't think I have a feeling that RabAllan isn't the Rab Allan from the band, it was probably just an edit summary to throw more confusion into the pot. Thanks again, --JD554 (talk) 09:23, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

 Done. I've gone through the histories of Glasvegas and Real Radio (Scotland), which has shown up a lot more than I originally thought. I've added them to the report. Thanks, --JD554 (talk) 10:57, 13 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Attack

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on this page, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because the article is a page created primarily to disparage its subject or a biography of a living person that is controversial in tone and unsourced, where there is no neutral point of view version in the history to revert to. (CSD G10).

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting the article, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate the article itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. CSDWarnBot (talk) 13:40, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Completely agree, it is not a community of Wales but it was a parish of sorts as far as I can tell. A parish is a subdivision of of a doicese, but Wales tended to use clasau which were often built around a cantref. But these categories don't exist, not sure why not. I hate to see any article without a category, maybe it should be placed under Category:Geography of Wales until something more suitable could be decided upon? Cheers for ther input.
