User talk:IdioT.SavanT.i4

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hello, I've moved your user page from IdioT.SavanT.i4 (where it doesn't belong) to User:IdioT.SavanT.i4. Depending on your settings, there should be a link at the top of your page called "IdioT.SavanT.i4" which links to the proper user page. You made your user page an article. Mr. Know-It-All 21:11, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Thank You, first time creation of a new page, guess I missed the Mr. Know-It-All link, I just clicked on the referenced link for creating a user page. Since my intent is to make IdioT.SavanT.i4 and IdioT_SavanT_i4 a recognisable and trusted name for free computer help & advice, (and some other areas as well), is it considered self-promotion to have a regular page for it as well? IdioT.SavanT.i4

There are guidelines and policies on notability (Wikipedia:Notability), and also on self-promotion (WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_soapbox). Aside from the policy/guideline pages, reading through the articles for deletion (WP:AFD) discussions might give you an idea of what is and isn't considered notable and/or self-promotion.

Welcome!

Hello, IdioT.SavanT.i4, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! 

Regarding your recent RFC on Bill Clinton. It is generally customary to start a discussion first on the Clinton Talk page, and then place a wider RFC if the issue can't be resolved. Up to you, but people will find it rather surprising to follow an RFC link and find no existing discussion. It's generally viewed as a place to invite wider commentary on an existing discussion, which editors can't resolve. Of course, you can also dive right in and make whatever edits you think would improve the article. Welcome, and best regards, Derex 00:37, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thank you Derex, I'll catch upon the help topics soon. I was and continue to encourage "truth in lending" for all discussions. The lack of Ken Starr's excesses and mention of the "vast right-wing conspiracy" were such glaring ommissions, I felt compelled to dive into that one. I don't nomally moralize but it seems the discussions around this subject continue to be politicized to death. I, for one, am tired of it, the man is gone, let it die. Any more discussion should be in the sevice of history not more attempts to further someone's political agenda. It's hard to be fair, I don't like the Clintons, but it was something that needed a correction. Better to be correct than right.
    • I think you've hit upon a general problem in wikipedia; it's often used as a place to take political cheap shots. It's a real balancing act to fairly present both criticisms and criticisms of the critics. It's made more complicated by the constant influx of new editors who don't understand what wikipedia is about. I'm glad to see you've arrived in the opposite spirit, and look forward to bumping into you again. Derex 19:41, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Debate forums section of Pwn article

[edit]

I have removed the section you added, not because I necessarily disagree, but because you provided no sources for it. The Pwn article starts out by saying, "a term used primarily in the Internet gaming culture", not solely in gaming culture. Whether it's in a game or on a forum, the term still refers to soundly defeating an opponent. I would ask that if you'd like to continue the debate on the talk page, that you come with more reliable sources and less gamer hatred. --Onorem 11:42, 20 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Per the ongoing reversions on Pwn you seem to feel justified in doing, I have requested a neutral 3rd party intervention. I am willing to abide by that opinion. Are you?

I'm perfectly fine with that. For the record, I didn't remove the section the third time, Rufous did. --Onorem 11:21, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

You're welcome, but I didn't delete any of your comments. (At least, I don't think I did) I was just trying to get everybody back on topic. Take care! Snowfire51 (talk) 08:53, 30 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on YahElite, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

RE: YahElite

[edit]

Thank you for the message you left on my talk page [1]. Regarding your question about YahElite, Wikipedia operates via notability requirements that have been determined by the community. Web-based content like YahElite falls under the Wikipedia:Notability (web) guideline, which specifies that in order for a topic to be deemed notable enough to have its own Wikipedia article, it must meet one of the following:

  1. coverage by multiple, reliable, third-party, published works (such as an article about the application in the magazine Newsweek or the International Herald Tribune newspaper)
  2. won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization

The third criteria does not really apply to YahElite since it is a third-party application (and by definition cannot be distributed by a respected and independent provider (like Yahoo itself). Hopefully this helps answer your questions. Please let me know if you have any other issues. Thanks, — Kralizec! (talk) 11:43, 16 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

    • Ain't got a clue WTF yer talking about but Idiot_Savant_i4 is no vandal. If an edit occured, there was good reason for it.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited 2018 NFL Draft, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Andy Lee (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
