Jibril Yoonis

This article does not need to be deleted. The Jibril Yoonis are the most dominant clan in the Gadabuursi tribe. Somalis base their social structure on clans and tribes. This particular clan currently holds the presidency for the Republic of Somaliland. They also were the first clan amongst the Gadabuursi tribe to hold Ministry positions after Somalia gained independence from its colonial rulers. Those at wikipedia.org must not be ignorant to the importance the tribes and clans play in African politics and society.

P.S. I do plan to add the family tree for the Jibril Yoonis clan. the Jibril Yoonis clan traces its genealogy 1200 years back.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedguray (talk • contribs)

Jibril Yoonis pt.2

Please understand that the Somalis are oral people, we did not have a written language until 1972 but can our history goes back to the Pharonic times. Because of our infancy of written language, we are only beginning to publish stuff about somali society. As aforementioned, Somalis (as most Africans) are tribal people and our tribes/clans are the foundation to our social system. With all respect, I know that you are not of African descent because you are insulting me by indicating that this might be a joke/hoax. I am trying to give further comprehension of the intricate politics of Gaadabuursi. Some of my fellow tribe members and I plan to make additional pages on wikipedia.org about other clans within the Gaadabuursi. We started with the Jibril Yoonis first because they are the traditional leaders, next we will do Nuur Yoonis(Reer Nuur) and others after that.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Ahmedguray (talk • contribs)

J-ska

Hey, I got a little pissed off at you for nominating J-ska for deletion. Looking at your contributions, I see that you are just sweeping through Wikipedia and doing some very useful weeding. I apologize for taking it personally and thank you for your useful efforts in this regard. As I noted elsewhere, I should have polished J-ska in my sandbox before posting it.

• Please take a look at the article now. House of Scandal 08:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
• Don't worry about it. Keep in mind that the AfD tag cannot be removed (even by me) until the discussion is closed by an admin. ::mikmt 13:56, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Rejewski cycle diagram

Hi, thanks for SVG'ing the diagram. I don't suppose you'd be able to tweak it so that the highlighting rectangles don't overlap other letters? Otherwise it looks slightly messier than the original. Otherwise, good stuff; cheers. — Matt Crypto 17:47, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Will do. ::mikmt 17:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, looks good. — Matt Crypto 23:54, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

(air-roasted coffee)

Thanks for adding the additional coffee stuff. Btw, if you like coffee let me know and I'll send you some air-roasted coffee if you've never tried it. It's so good and unique you'll see why air-roasting deserves its own wikipedia article. Thanks again, looking forward to adding my research. yavkos

Glad to have helped. To be honest, I've never heard of air-roasting. I'd be willing to help with the article if you need it. mikm_t 22:56, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

My RfA

Thank you for your support in my recent RfA. I think valid criticisms were raised in areas that I need to work on, so I've withdrawn my name. I intend to work on addressing the concerns that were raised, and think I need to work contributing without allowing myself to become as stressed as I have been at times, which did result in some inappropriate behavior. Perhaps I may re-explore adminship at some point in the future, but it's a little early to consider that. Again, thank you. Fan-1967 21:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

habitat skateboards

hey i just added information on Habitat Skateboards which had nothing written about it. so i added this "Habitat is a skateboard company that makes skateboards, wheels, and appearl and started in 1999." yet after i did that, it was tagged for deletion, how come? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Canman408 (talk • contribs) 20:35, 31 January 2007

Because it contains no information on the notability of the company nor any information whatsoever. You really should write out the articles ahead of time that has all the important information in it. superapathyman 02:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

re Xbox 350

You idiot, I cited the work. As for the copyrighted material, I can understand that much.

Cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ihatesoup (talk • contribs) 21:20, 31 January 2007.

Just because you cited it doesn't mean you can copy and paste it in its entirety. superapathyman 03:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Famous Penguins

Why do you keep tagging the page I make for deletion? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pizzamaker10 (talk • contribs) 21:26, 31 January 2007.

Because Famous Penguins does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines superapathyman 03:27, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm sick of it!

Stop saying my page needs to be deleted! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Pizzamaker10 (talk • contribs) 21:27, 31 January 2007.

Look, marking it for deletion is getting tedious and old. I have clearly explained that it does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. superapathyman 03:35, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Caretaker Gazette

Thanks for taking notice so quickly! I do have the correct article, but I haven't managed the "2nd nomination" part. I am not very familiar with the AfD process, so I am not doing the tagging smoothly. I came across the site for the first time this morning, and it appears to me to be advertising, pure and simple. Since the discussion ended in 2005, very little information has been added, but there is now a URL for the on-line publication, itself an advertising publication.

I can't imagine how this article could be considered anything but advertising spam, and I wish to put it up for deletion again. In 2005, the first time it was up for deletion, there was only a small amount of information in the article, and it did not seem obvious to the participants that the author had a conflict of interest, since he is also the editor of the Gazette.

By the way, the reason I came across this article was that I came across another piece of self-promotion by the same author in Mathematics Education.Trishm 03:42, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Virtual horse Racing

OK, sorry if you feel the need, please delete the page. However if that is the case what about the page:

Stableking From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Stableking is a free internet horse racing game which allows players to compete with their own stable of horses and jockeys against other players. Races run continuously every 2 minutes. The game provides facilities for buying, selling and breeding virtual horses and entering them in stakes and handicap races.

Stableking Free Internet Horse Racing Game

Retrieved from "http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/Stableking" If mine is advertising, then so is this.

Thanks for pointing that out. Marked for deletion superapathyman 22:18, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

"Flip and Splog"

Yes... I'm having fun... I think I have been involved in at least 2 speedy deletions of Flip and Splog... and then wikipedia went down (at least in my area... I couldn't connect for at least 10 minutes..) Also, I think the creator may be using sockpuppets, but I am unsure... I checked my contributions history to see if I had warned a prior creator but couldn't find anything. Danski14 23:41, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The Reproduction Board

I write for a local music zine in Des Moines, and someone suggested I create Wikipedia pages for some of the bands I've mentioned. If this is an improper use of Wikipedia, let me know and I'll delete this page right away. Thanks. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Roctaco (talk • contribs) 21:22, 18 February 2007 (UTC).

An administrator can (and probably will) delete it. Writing articles about bands would be wonderful, although please make sure they satisfy Wikipedia's notability guidelines before starting. superapathyman 21:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Unreal4Ever removed from Unreal Tournament 2004 mod list

Hello,

I recently found out you removed the Unreal4Ever item from the Unreal Tournament 2004 mod list. And I read, as a note I guess, 'rm InkSpam'... Could you tell me why you removed this item from the mod list?

I hope this is the correct way to contact you, as I never used Wikipedia to communicate before...

Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mldebondt (talk • contribs)

The edit in question. My biggest reason is that the link was added by an anonymous IP. An anonymous IP adding an external link (especially for something like this) is often spam. Second, articles are not directories. If a person wants to find mods, he can go to Google or PlanetUnreal. A list of mods should only contain significant ones (e.g., those included in the ECE) mikm 16:06, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. And sorry for not signing my comment. I now understand why you removed the item, but I'd like to say it was never intended to be spam. Thank you for clearing this one out for me. --Mldebondt 19:02, 27 March 2007 (UTC)

Bufffalo Chip Picture

I added the email trail where I got permission from the author on my user:talk page, where you asked about it. Should I add this also the image itself? LouScheffer 15:51, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

Add it to the image's discussion or create a subpage of your userpage (something a bit more permanent than your talk page) and provide a link from the image. You also should update the licensing tag, as it doesn't look like it is Creative Commons. mikm 16:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
