== Welcome! ==

Welcome to Wikipedia! I would like to apologize on behalf of all respectable Wikipedians for the person that vandalized your user page. I can assure you 99% of us aren't so mean or stupid. I hope your time here is both productive and enjoyable![[User:PiccoloNamek|PiccoloNamek]] 14:11, 5 October 2005 (UTC)

== Sure, you can borrow it ==

I actually borrowed it from someone else myself. :)[[User:PiccoloNamek|PiccoloNamek]] 09:02, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

==[[The Golden Sabre of Muji]]==
I noticed you restored the prod tag on [[The Golden Sabre of Muji]] after the author removed it.  Actually, the author was right and you were wrong.  The correct way to object to a prod is by removing the prod tag.  Prod is exclusively for uncontroversial deletions, and even though the creator didn't explain their reasoning, they clearly objected. If you think the article ought to be deleted after someone objects, you simply move the discussion to AfD where everyone can say their peace.

Please see [[Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion#What_this_process_is_NOT_for]] for the guidelines. [[User:NickelShoe|NickelShoe]] 17:16, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
:Valid point, thankyou for your input--[[User:Blue520|Blue520]] 09:27, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

== Prodding [[List of Junior Common Rooms]] ==

Thanks for moving it to AFD and letting me know! [[User:FreplySpang|FreplySpang]] [[User talk:FreplySpang|(talk)]] 16:09, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

== save skux! ==

now that i showed you just what a cool word [[skux]] is, with its multiple applications, try and help save it!. [[Skux]] is not a word simply made up in a school day. It took many years of deliberation, and intense concentration / numerous failed attempts to produce that word. DON'T LET THE EFFORT GO TO WASTE!!!
join the fight today, by asking that [[skux]] remain, and telling everyone you know to do likewise!!!!
*Well if you don't put you signature to messages and vandalise user pages, you can piss off and waste some one else's time.--[[User:Blue520|Blue520]] 11:09, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

== ProD on [[76777]] ==
I apologise. I was unfamiliar with the new proposed deletion policy at the time I picked up the article in [[:Category:Stubs]] while stub sorting (although I knew the {{[[Template:Prod|prod]]}} template existed) and read the message as "This article has been proposed for deletion; if you feel this should be deleted, request its deletion, otherwise protest this proposition". I apologise. Clearly this was an uncontroversial deletion candidate, and was probably worthy of speedy deletion in the first place. ProD was indeed the right way to go with this article. I'm sorry, and have now acquainted myself with [[WP:PROD]]. Thanks, and apologies. [[User:Haza-w|<b><span style="font-family:Verdana; color:#FF0000">haz</span></b>]]&nbsp;<sub>([[User_talk:Haza-w|user&nbsp;talk]])</sub><sup>[[User:Haza-w/Esperanza|'''<span style="color:#00FF00">e</span>''']]</sup> ''09:25,&nbsp;19&nbsp;March&nbsp;2006''
*Thanks for replying, please see the message on your talk page.--[[User:Blue520|Blue520]] 10:03, 19 March 2006 (UTC)\

==Prod tag on [[Gate to destiny]]==
I noticed you added a prod tag to this article and write to explain my subsequent removal of the tag.  Consistent with [[WP:PROD]], after a tag has once been removed, it should not be re-added, irrespetive of the propriety of the original removal or the (arguably) untoward behavior of the remover in failing to explain his/her removal on the talk page or in an edit summary.  Even as I likely will vote to delete the article should it be listed on AfD (I'm not convinced that it's original research, at least in view of our general tendency against ascribing that appellative to sundry video game summaries, notwithstanding some of my objections to that [ostensibly settled] policy), I don't think we should act contrary to policy here, and I expect you simply didn't notice that the prod tag had already been added and subsequently been removed (I, myself, having made that error on two occasions now review edit histories to ensure the tag hasn't already been applied).  In any case, I left a note on the talk page of [[User:Rmhermen|Rmhermen]], the original prodder, to the effect that he may want to list the article for deletion, so likely the page will be taken care of in any case.  Cordially, [[User:Jahiegel|Joe]] 05:16, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

==Foxhole Campsite==
Hi Blue520. I'm here to offer apologies! I forgot to watch the AfD on [[Foxhole Campsite]] and deleted the section of the other article you'd referenced in the AfD. Sorry - I wouldn't had I known you'd mentioned it as a proposed solution!

The section was deleted (together with a raft of similar ones from related articles) because it was a "what I did on my holidays" thing - all recommendations for pubs to eat in, places to stay, things to visit, that type of thing. POV and [[WP:NOR|OR]], so it had to go.

Apologies if I offended/appeared to ignore you. ➨ [[User_talk:Redvers|❝]]<b>[[User:Redvers|<span style="color:red;">R</span>]][[User:Redvers/Esperanza|<span style="color:green;">E</span>]][[User:Redvers|<span style="color:red;">DVERS</span>]]</b>[[Special:Contributions/Redvers|❞]] 10:10, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

== No speedying once AfD has begun? ==

Hi, this is a question over your removal of the speedy deletion notice from [[AnimA (JK2)]] with the edit comment of "no speedying once AfD has begun". This is the first time I have seen this, so I have had a look around and could not find it or the like written down any where or something similar given for a direction, but it is easy to very easy to be text blind. Could you please point me in the right direction. Thanks.--[[User:Blue520|<span style="color:#000080"><b>blue</b></span>]][[User talk:Blue520|<span style="background:#000080;color:#D3D3D3"><b>520</b></span>]] 09:33, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

: Hello, Blue520. [[Wikipedia:Deletion_Policy#Lag times]] states that "Once a page is listed for deletion by listing on one of the different pages, the nomination is kept open for a period of time to allow for community comment." We'll have to wait 5 days for an AfD to end.  I might skip that if there is copyvio or clear vandalism. How's that ? -- [[User:PFHLai|PFHLai]] 09:36, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

== RE stifilis ==

About the stifillis article: I was the one nominating it on AfD. I didn't know it was already deleted once at AfD. It's been speedily deleted at least twice already. It qualifies under CSD as a repost. I've withdrawn my AfD nomination, there's no need for it to be up there anymore. Therefore, I've reverted your addition of the AfD tag.

How you gon' play me like that? Maybe you should discuss my article before deleting it for good.-[[user:JizzyJonII|JizzyJonII]] 11;45, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
:I did not delete it, that would have been an admin. The most likely reason that it was deleted this time was that it was a repost of deleted material. As for deletion of the original article form memory was it had problems  with verifiability [[WP:V]] but you will have to check the deletion log for the page [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&type=delete&page=Burgess_the_Great] and ask the deleting admin.--[[User:Blue520|<span style="color:#000080"><b>blue</b></span>]][[User talk:Blue520|<span style="background:#000080;color:#D3D3D3"><b>520</b></span>]] 01:21, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

==[[Michael Hill]]==
Well done on the search - it wasn't apparent from your vote, and, yes, the key words are all on google! I was concerned about the votes before mine. I know one should assume good faith, but there seemed no indication that other people had done any research before casting their vote. I am concerned that the statistical emphasis on [[Wikipedia:Requests for adminship|RfA]], for example,  encourages quantity over quality on these matters. [[User:Tyrenius|Tyrenius]] 17:13, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
:Yes, quantity over quality is very important. I was annoyed at my self for misssing out that search combination (+ knife) for I tried a number including pasting large sections of the text into Google. Some of my response in the AfD may not have made sense, [[WP:W]] was suppose to have been [[WP:V]] - Again quality. Thanks to you and [[User:PaddyMatthews|PaddyMatthews]] for finding that it was verifiable.--[[User:Blue520|<span style="color:#000080"><b>blue</b></span>]][[User talk:Blue520|<span style="background:#000080;color:#D3D3D3"><b>520</b></span>]] 04:57, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

::I presumed something like that, but thought to ask just in case I was missing something.

== A past deletion question.  ==

Hi earlier this month you deleted a number of articles created by [[User:Ryan Lanham|Ryan Lanham]] as copyvio, such as [[Charles Goodsell]] and [[Max Stephenson]].

:That author created an entire series of articles based on copy ripped from academic university websites. For example, his article "[[Barry Bozeman]]" was a copyright violation of http://cns.asu.edu/about/people/bozeman.htm. Since I pointed out to him that this was not allowed, he recreated several of the articles with his own copy so the recreated versions are not copyright violations. Is this what you needed.

:Please under stand that the article [[EcoTheology]] was empty and contained no information, it normally is a good idea to have an idea on the information to be included before starting a page so the information can meet the criteria of [[WP:REF|cited]], [[WP:V|verifiable]] and [[WP:RS|reliable sources]].  Posting articles with no content just on the basis of they could be a interesting project is not the way to build a informative Wikipedia, it is the basis of building a Wikipedia with a huge number of articles containing no information. Also I am not clear by what you mean that there is a "strong tendance to critic and take away articles and information", if you mean that article/information that do not meet the guide lines/criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia or a clear consensus has been reached trough a AfD  are deleted, then sorry I don't agree with you.

==Proposed Deletion of Shad (musician)==

Greetz,

I've checked out the Wikipedia Notability page for music. It appears that you are right. Shad does not qualify as per the rules, eventhough he comes close on numerous counts. 

I do have an issue though: 

I actually do disagree with this policy to a certain extent. In my case, I heard this artist on the CBC radio podcast and I immediately went to Wikipedia to find out more info about him; but alas, there was no entry. And that's the whole point about Wikipedia: it's a source of information. 

What do you think? thx.

:I came across the article from <nowiki>Category:Wikipedia suspected hoax articles</nowiki> which I occasionally keep an eye on to see what is new. Checked the talk, then the history as it would be uncommon for such information to not have been spotted by other editors and the hoax vandalism edits came clear. Does this help with your curiosity? Have any further questions?

Hey, I just came across some of your work at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Unaware Ghost]] and found a fellow 520.

Hi Blue520.

Hey there jibay (shibai in old Tolterian)! Thanks for the notice regarding the rather new article on Komvaey Etëten. Yes I agree there lack references, but Im trying to get details out of the museums, since VELKT was disestablished in 1997, and up to 2001, our parliament have no web site, and even the present web site does not talk much about its socialist past.

== Answer ==

Sure, the easiest way to find a simple number is by going to "[[Special:Preferences|my preferences]]", and it will have an edit count there under "number of edits". There are also a number of tools which give you interesting graphs and whatnot, I personally like [[User:X!|Soxred93's]] counter, which you can access [http://toolserver.org/~soxred93/ec here], and [http://en.wikichecker.com/user/ wikichecker].

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Baron Mulingar]] ==

Hi Blue :). I've [http://enwp.org/w/index.php?&diff=347484571&oldid=347288206 changed] the link back since you changed it by accident, and it should point to the article nominated for deletion. As to the other editors, there's not much evidence against them, just new editors !voting the same thing at AfD, which isn't unheard of. I'd suggest tagging them with {{tl|spa}}, and then the closing administrator will know to check them out. You are of course free to open an SPI case, I'm not really that savvy with SPI, but all the users appear to have similar editing. And is they are they would be "acting in a disruptive or forbidden manner". I'd suggest you ask an [[Wikipedia:SPI/CLERK|SPI clerk]] if you want to know if your case has merit. - [[User:Kingpin13|Kingpin]]<sup>[[Special:Contributions/Kingpin13|13]]</sup> ([[User talk:Kingpin13|talk]]) 10:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

== You are now a Reviewer ==

[[File:Wikipedia Reviewer.svg|right|130px]]
Hello. Your account has been granted the "{{mono|reviewer}}" userright, allowing you to [[WP:Reviewing|review other users' edits]] on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, is currently undergoing a [[WP:Pending changes|two-month trial]] scheduled to end 15 August 2010.

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not [[wp:autoconfirmed|autoconfirmed]] to articles placed under pending changes. Pending changes is applied to only [[Special:StablePages|a small number of articles]], similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial. The list of articles with pending changes awaiting review is located at [[Special:OldReviewedPages]].

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious [[WP:VAND|vandalism]] or [[WP:BLP|BLP violations]], and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see [[Wikipedia:Reviewing process]]). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found [[WP:Pending changes|here]].

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. <!-- Template:Reviewer-notice --> [[User:Courcelles|Courcelles]] ([[User talk:Courcelles|talk]]) 05:15, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

[[Image:Information.svg|25px|alt=|link=]] Hello. Regarding the recent revert you made&#32;to [[:Bomb threat]]: you may already know about them, but you might find [[Wikipedia:Template messages/User talk namespace]] useful. After a revert, these can be placed on the user's talk page to let them know you considered their edit inappropriate, and also direct new users towards the [[Wikipedia:sandbox|sandbox]]. They can also be used to give a stern warning to a [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandal]] when they've been previously warned. Thank you.<!-- Template:Uw-warn --> ''I don't know if you were in the process of doing it but I've given them one now.''

:Hi, thanks for the message. Yes I do know about templates, after doing a revert I next check the user history. If there is a history of ongoing vandalism, warning goes up. If there is not and as in this case with [[User talk:173.77.121.40|73.77.121.40]] I don't see the point, there is a chance that the next person on that IP Address that comes to wikipedia is not the same person that did the vandalism (addresses get reissued). Or the same person actually does come back, looks to see if the vandalism is still there, sees that it has been simply reverted, thinks "well that was pointless" and goes on and does something constructive (basically [[WP:GOODFAITH]]).--[[User:Blue520|<span style="color:#082567"><b>blue</b></span>]][[User talk:Blue520|<span style="color:#373737"><b>520</b></span>]] 17:26, 3 May 2012 (UTC)
