[edit] Redirects out of article space

Hi there. I deleted AfC, which you created as a redirect to Wikipedia:Articles for creation, because we can't have redirects from article space into project ("Wikipedia") space. The redirect WP:AfC already exists. -- SCZenz 22:16, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

I looked, and AfC was kept as an exception because it was widely used. New ones I don't think are necessary. -- SCZenz 06:15, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Edit Summary Request

I have noted that you often edit without an edit summary. Please do your best to always fill in the summary field. This is considered an important guideline in Wikipedia. Even a short summary is better than no summary. An edit summary is even more important if you delete any text; otherwise, people may think you're being sneaky. Also, mentioning one change but not another one can be misleading to someone who finds the other one more important; add "and misc." to cover the other change(s). Thanks! -- Kukini 21:20, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Just curious

Hello, just curious to see your ID! --Bhadani 11:52, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Your username ...

Could you please pick a different username for yourself and submit a username change request at WP:RFCU? This current username is much too vandal-like and I almost reflexively blocked you upon seeing the name before checking that the contribs were legit. --Cyde↔Weys 00:58, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

I don't see that my username is a random string of characters, since it is most definitely not random in any sense of the word "random". A string of 11 z's is not generated randomly in any great probability. It's a vanishingly small probability that such a sequence would result randomly. It is 11, so it is not long, 1 more than 10, which can be counted with just the fingers on people's hands. I also like being assured to be at the end of any list of users by username, it's a prominent position. As I mainly edit astronomy articles, my username is also appropriate, because, you miss out on your Z's seeing the night sky. I also don't see why anything should be blocked reflexively. That's a good way to end up with trouble. As for other usernames, many people's usernames have a random string of digits attached to some not very clear string of characters that are at best chaotic. Wegekadt1872 or somesuch seems even more random, and likely to be generated so. (Not that I know any user:Wegekadt1872). – Zzzzzzzzzzz 01:52, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
You're wrong, the chance of generating the username Zzzzzzzzzzz is just as likely as the chance of generating the username Dkjzbnprcsf, for instance. --Cyde Weys 04:51, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
The probability of generating a string of 11 characters that are the same is much lower than that of generating a string of 11 characters that are not the same. Zzzzzzzzzzz 04:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
Seeing as how Zzzzzzzzzzz (talk · contribs) has made several thousand constructive edits over the period of many months, and the username is not offensive, I don't see any reason why we should be discriminating against this contributor based upon the actions of unrelated vandals. Can't sleep, clown will eat me 04:47, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Exactly, he looks very legitimate to me. I don't see how his username matches with any long-term vandals that I know out there. Perhaps what he just needs is a nice userpage and the community to recongize his contributions more. :) - Mailer Diablo 08:39, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Field of the Nebulae

In revising Wikipedia articles on clusters of galaxies and other extragalactic structures, I came across the article on Field of the Nebulae, which you apparently created. This is a very obscure term; Google searches by other people and myself have found almost nothing that verifies what is written in this article (although we found a lot of articles that repeat what is written in Wikipedia). The article contains no references, so nothing in it can be verified.

Several other people in Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomical objects have suggested deleting this page as non-notable, possibly using prod. The prod page suggests contacting the creator of the article (you) as a courtesy before tagging the article for deletion.

So, in regards to the Field of the Nebulae article, would you like to state your preference as to whether the article should be kept or deleted? If it should be kept, could you please give a justification as to why (and possibly expand the article). Thank you, George J. Bendo 10:35, 28 October 2006 (UTC).

[edit] Field of the Nebulae PROD warning

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Field of the Nebulae, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Field of the Nebulae. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

[edit] Category:Hypothetical galaxies

I would be willing to withdraw my nomination for deletion of Category:Hypothetical galaxies if we can agree that it should be used to describe only theoretical objects rather than being used as a catch-all for objects that may be galaxies or objects previously identified as galaxies that are actually other types of objects. A collection of extragalactic objects predicted by theory would be useful; a juxtaposition of multiple types of objects is not. Dr. Submillimeter 15:24, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category:Galaxy types

I think your Galaxy types category might be very useful, but at the moment, it partly duplicates Category:Active galaxies. Would you object if I proposed renaming this category as "Category:Galaxy morphological types" and then shuffled articles accordingly?

(Also, if you cannot tell, I am actively interested in the galaxy category hierarchy. You may want to talk to me before creating new categories.) Dr. Submillimeter 17:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

I partly disagree with your viewpoint here. Adding all the active galaxy main article pages (i.e. Seyfert galaxy, quasar, etc.) to both Category:Active galaxies and Category:Galaxy types creates category clutter. I am going to put it up for discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Astronomical objects for a third opinion. Dr. Submillimeter 09:37, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Small Magellanic Cloud (Star Fleet Universe)

An article that you have been involved in editing, Small Magellanic Cloud (Star Fleet Universe), has been listed for deletion. If you are interested in the deletion discussion, please participate by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Small Magellanic Cloud (Star Fleet Universe) (2nd nomination). Thank you. Gavin Collins 19:42, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of [[Faint Blue Galaxy (disambiguation)}}

[edit] Faint Blue Galaxy (disambiguation)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Faint Blue Galaxy (disambiguation), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Faint Blue Galaxy (disambiguation). me_and (talk) 18:36, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
