The article Rust in Peace you nominated as a good article has been placed on hold . The article is close to meeting the good article criteria, but there are some minor changes or clarifications needing to be addressed. If these are fixed within 7 days, the article will pass; otherwise it may fail. See Talk:Rust in Peace for things which need to be addressed.

The prose & refs look great but now the only issue is the Accolades and Certifications sections. Once these issues are resolved, I will be happy to pass the article. CrowzRSA 06:40, 23 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

The article Rust in Peace you nominated as a good article has passed ; see Talk:Rust in Peace for comments about the article. Well done!

Hey L1, obviously it's not the best time to reopen this topic, but how about redirecting the less notable songs we've discussed some time ago? I'm thinking of "Breadline" and "The Scorpion". Your thoughts?--Retrohead (talk) 20:46, 26 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading File:MegadethTheScorpion.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 00:07, 2 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

That Blabbermouth article you provided as a source is quite enlightening to say the least. I feel a bit more of what Jake reveals in that interview could be and should be incorporated into the article, as this is a significant part of the album's story. I'm a bit out of the Wikipedia loop but I'm pretty sure there are no "reliable source" concerns about Blabbermouth. Thanks for introducing that interview.

Hi there, I'm pleased to inform you that I've begun reviewing the article Hidden Treasures (EP) you nominated for GA-status according to the criteria. This process may take up to 7 days.

Sure, that looks like a sufficient exception to the rule. The articles cited are mostly about the topic of an upcoming album regardless of title, so it does seem like a WP:HAMMER exception. Ten Pound Hammer • ^{(What did I screw up now?)} 03:55, 15 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey L1, if it's not too much to ask, can you provide some comments/vote at the Master of Puppets nomination page? These albums don't attract too much interest among reviewers, so any input is welcomed.--Retrohead (talk) 22:44, 15 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi L1A1 FAL, thanks for notifying me of the album announcement, that was really thoughtful of you! The band could have waited for me to come back from vacation though :-P I've just transferred all the prepared text to Condition Hüman. Hope you are well! --Eddyspeeder (talk) 10:29, 30 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hey L1, how are you doing? If you have the new Slayer CD, can you add the personnel to the album's page? Thanks and hope to hear you soon.--Retrohead (talk) 20:32, 18 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

L1A1 FAl, @Retrohead:, et. al: you'd better improve Repentless, making sure the Slayer discography topic remains consistent... (also, you could make one of those for Megadeth's studio albums given the set is complete until Dystopia comes out) igordebraga ≠ 12:30, 21 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.

Hi there, I noticed your recent edit summary on WannaCry ransomware attack. Edit summaries like "Accusation not in source, Snowden says the NSA should have prevented the attack, not that they committed it. Reeks of POV. Will report vandalism if reverted" are not conducive to collaborative behavior on Wikipedia. If you were reverted, the first thing to do would be to exercise WP:BRD and discuss the issue with the other editor on the talk page, as it clearly was not vandalism. Please remember to assume good faith on the part of other editors, and if you have an issue with another editor that you can't resolve politely, please consider dispute resolution or reporting to the appropriate noticeboard. Thank you! Waggie (talk) 18:19, 13 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry I didn't appreciate the twisting of a report by an editor who seems to have a potentially pro-Russian bias. Did you even read what I changed? Or the sources? Or look at the user's edits? I doubt it. Crap like this is why I stopped being very active on Wikipedia a while ago.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 01:06, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry that you choose to respond so rudely to me. Please take my request seriously. Thank you. Waggie (talk) 01:18, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop spamming my talk page.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 16:24, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, nice. I didn't realize asking someone to edit collaboratively was spamming. As you wish, I'll drop the matter for now. Waggie (talk) 17:04, 14 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. We're into the last five days of the Women in Red World Contest. There's a new bonus prize of $200 worth of books of your choice to win for creating the most new women biographies between 0:00 on the 26th and 23:59 on 30th November. If you've been contributing to the contest, thank you for your support, we've produced over 2000 articles. If you haven't contributed yet, we would appreciate you taking the time to add entries to our articles achievements list by the end of the month. Thank you, and if participating, good luck with the finale!

Hello and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. I saw that an article you created, The Verdict (Queensrÿche album) has not been added to any categories. According to the guideline Wikipedia:Categorization, every article should be in at least one category. Please help by adding categories to the articles you create. You can take a look at the categorization FAQ. If you need further help, ask at the Teahouse. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 20:45, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Added a couple. This was the most significant contribution I've made in a couple years, so I completely forgot the categories were a thing. Thanks for the heads up--L1A1 FAL (talk) 01:31, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I know you're aiming for the full discography, but given the great work you and @Retrohead: put on the studio albums, I put them up for the Good Topics. The process page states "Nominators who are not significant contributors to the articles of the topic should consult regular editors", yet both of you have been semi-retired, so I thought it wouldn't hurt. In any case, drop a line at the page if you're OK with what I did. igordebraga ≠ 21:35, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the nomination and I hope it'll pass the review. It was a fun research though we did it years ago.--Retrohead (talk) 23:17, 3 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, as Retrohead said, thank you for the nomination! We both put a lot of hard work into that, and I'm sure he is as pleased as I am.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 01:35, 4 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hello L1A1 FAL. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Nail You Down, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: recordings are only eligible for speedy deletion if they meet the requirements of A9, which this does not. Thank you. SoWhy 08:45, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello L1A1 FAL. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Brain Surgeons, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: two notable members is a claim of notability per WP:NBAND #6. Thank you. SoWhy 08:49, 4 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In re to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zappa (film) I'm curious to know your level Danish? Sam Sailor 18:04, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at your contributions and your user page, I see no indications that you have any knowledge of Danish whatsoever. Hvis jeg tager fejl, må du naturligvis korrigere mig, men da må jeg blot spørge, hvorfor du nominerer en film artikel til sletning, uden at tage højde for kilderne. So, what is your gain here? Looking at your very limited AFD stats, this is your first contribution in four years, your first AFD that has anything to do with film, and your first AFD that is related to a Danish subject. Sam Sailor 19:37, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Of what relevance is my degree of fluency, or lack thereof, in the Danish language? You strike me as being somewhat upset by my deletion nomination.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 23:39, 2 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The above non-response was moved here from User talk:Sam Sailor where the editor posted in Special:Diff/986732269/986780529 disregarding the behavioural guideline at WP:MULTI and disregarding User talk:Sam Sailor/Editnotice.

Article deletion is governed by the policies found on Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Read it, learn it, follow it. Drive-by deletion tagging is a waste of time and should be avoided. Sam Sailor 04:17, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You could learn to be more polite. And unless you actually have something to discuss, please do not contact me again, or a complaint will be filed.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 22:46, 3 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The above non-response was again moved here from User talk:Sam Sailor where the editor posted in Special:Diff/986813520/986947966 and a few minutes later appended their post in Special:Diff/986947966/next again disregarding the behavioural guideline at WP:MULTI and disregarding User talk:Sam Sailor/Editnotice.

First of all, please post your replies here. I made it clear in the edit summary of Special:Diff/986748549/986813258 that that is considered good practice cf. WP:MULTI, yet again you chose to fragment the discussion by replying on my talk page. Got it? That's a question, do you have the courtesy of replying?

Stick to subject here: your tagging of Zappa (film) for deletion. I asked you two questions, you did not answer any of them. Instead, you responded with a rhetorical question and made the irrelevant comment "You strike me as being somewhat upset by my deletion nomination." Do you want to answer the questions?

I chose to disregard that you did not wish to discuss your incompetence or your motivations for tagging an article for deletion against policy, and politely pointed you towards the relevant policy. With your reply "You could learn to be more polite" you have now sunk to the second-lowest level on the discussion and proven, that you do not wish to discuss the subject matter: your incompetent, policy-breaking shitfuckery. I could learn to be more polite? Could you learn to follow policy? Again, that's a question, do you have the courtesy of replying?

In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zappa (film) your nomination rationale read "non notable film". Apart from the obvious lack of respect for your own language's norm for caps and punctuation, the argument is a classical WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE "argument" that should be avoided.

Looking at a few of your previous AFD nominations, I see

• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Safe Home where again your rational was the terse "non-notable single". You have obviously never heard about {{R from song}}, have you? I have recreated the title as a proper redirect.
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Taking the Music Back is the exact same scenario. You have never in 10+ years hear about WP:MUSICOUTCOMES? Again, that's a question, do you have the courtesy of replying? I have recreated the title as a proper redirect. Why should the community have to waste time and double-check you?
• Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Alive and Hostile E.P., where the rationale is "non notable. Not even its own release, but rather part of a larger set". Same shitfuckery, should just be redirected to Pantera discography#Extended plays, is a valid search term.

It is you that do not want to address your disruptive editing. Either commit to understanding policy or eventually face yourself at ANI with a suggestion that an WP:EDR be imposed on your AFD participation. Sam Sailor 16:36, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Typically, I reply on the other editor's page when I converse.

I stand behind the work I have done on Wikipedia. Am I perfect? No, but, nobody else is, either. I will be filing a complaint about your rude and aggressive behavior and assumption of bad faith towards me. Do NOT contact me again for any reason. Good day.--L1A1 FAL (talk) 17:53, 15 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
