User talk:Radiant!

Please note that because I've been extremely busy in real life the past months, I am not presently active on Wikipedia. It's good business though, thanks for asking :) Feel free to drop by below to say hi, but if you have questions of any sort, you'd get a swifter response by asking them somewhere else. >Radiant< 17:30, 1 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you voting in this year's ArbCom elections and I know you are extremely busy, but could you please contact Randomran and briefly explain Template:Notabilityguide and Wikipedia:Notability to him? Randomran created Wikipedia:Notability/RFC:compromise in early September and I think he may be misunderstanding some things. I would also appreciate your input at this thread at Wikipedia talk:Notability. And I know it's alot to wade through, but if you can find the time, could you perhaps glance over Wikipedia:Notability/RFC:compromise and maybe comment somewhere about it? I think your input could do a lot to clear some things up for some people. --Pixelface (talk) 11:24, 3 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just saying "hi", and mentioning that you've been missed (at least by me), especially at WP:CFD.

I hope that life's treating you well : ) - jc37 20:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just writing to say that I disagree with your stance on the deletion of Push Singh's wiki page. Your stated reason is that he died before he became famous. But lots of scientists and artists who are without question noteworthy died before they became famous.

Singh laid the foundations for a realm of Artificial Intelligence research that is sufficiently noteworthy that I came across mention of him in spite of the fact that I was just glancing at the topic in a tangent from my initial search. When I read how he passed away, I was immediately curious to learn more about him.

I do understand that there are specific guidelines for inclusion in Wikipedia on the basis of notability. I just wish you had left a clearer explanation of why Singh's page didn't meet the criteria (i.e. coverage by reliable secondary sources). If the latter was the reason, here are a few examples of coverage of Singh in reliable secondary sources.

Please excuse me if this isn't the place to say this. I'm new to actually interacting with Wikipedia, rather than simply reading it.

Thanks for reading! Milara (talk) 07:43, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A concern was raised that the clause, "a primary source may be used only to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is verifiable by any reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge" conflicts with WP:NPOV by placing a higher duty of care with primary sourced claims than secondary or tertiary sourced claims. An RFC has been initiated to stimulate wider input on the issue. Professor marginalia (talk) 19:02, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have created a Neutral section for those who agree with the premise but not the method, or some other aspect, which may be altered following talkpage discussion. Perhaps you would wish to review your !vote under the changed circumstances? LessHeard vanU (talk) 23:07, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Category:Jewish American actors. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedy-deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Kbdank71 16:23, 17 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hey you previously voted on Category:Jewish_Christians which has been recreated it would be appreciated if you post your vote at Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2009_February_13#Category:Jewish_Christians --Java7837 (talk) 13:38, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Seeing as you're the original creator of the {{essay}} template, I'd like to direct your attention to this discussion. -- OlEnglish ^(Talk) 19:20, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I notice you were involved with the defunct WP:WikiProject Policy and Guidelines. I've proposed something similar (before I was aware of the old one that doesn't seem to have got off the ground). Perhaps you could comment on my proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#WikiProject Policy. Comments on what happened to the old project would be helpful. Thanks. Rd232 ^talk 18:03, 27 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Tourmalike, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Unsourced mineral name

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.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, 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.

Your quilt is full...

But since you said you're busy, Should I archive it? If you don't respond in a week or so, I'll start a new quilt for you.

I hope this isn't against your wishes or policy or anything...

Hi! Would like to request for your input on this article. it seems that the main editor is a newcomer; although i already told the editor that it will be better if the wikipedia guidelines are read first before carrying out article writing, it seems that no progress has been made. thanks. Joey80 (talk) 08:47, 22 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I was browsing my logs, and noticed this revert i made of you to an essay I had written. A few things. My bad about the snarky and dismissive edit summary, that was way uncalled for. Not sure why I made it anymore it was so long ago, but you in no way deserved it. Also, I'm seeing, if i were to be looking at some one elses revert, more then a tinge of ownership. I'm not even sure why I felt the need to revert, as the edit seems to be perfectly in line with what I had in mind.

Anyway, it's late, im not sure why im apologizing, but after seeing it I couldn't stop myself. --M^ask? 08:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A user is wanting to radically change the Wikipedia Naming Conflict guideline, particularly with relevance to cutting the section on self-identifying names. A change that might cause havoc in a number of widely-argued naming conflict articles. There is very little involvement of the wider community in this at the moment, so as one of the early contributors to this guideline, I thought I'd ask if you would be interested in commenting at Wikipedia talk:Naming conflict Xandar 20:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I noticed you were a regular editor on the 2008 election page. Myself and other editors are odds on some edits we are trying to make to the page. Since you have already been involved in probably similar discussion, we would greatly appreciate hearing your feedback on the 2012 election discussion page under the Republicans and Ruled Out discussions http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:United_States_presidential_election,_2012#Republicans.3F

As you were the principal "Oppose"-voting critic of my original early-2007 RfA, it seems appropriate to notify you that WP:Requests for adminship/SMcCandlish 2 will go live today. You are arguably in a better position than anyone else to judge whether the issues raised have been resolved over the intervening years. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 22:56, 20 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Back in 2005 you discussed this article at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Church of Reality. The article has since been recreated, and I have re-nominated it for deletion.

Hello Radiant!! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 253 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Wouter van der Goes - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Jan Cober - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

As part of a project funded by the European Commission (QLectives), we are collecting and analysing data to study quality control mechanisms and inclusion/deletion policies in Wikipedia. According to our records, you participated in a large number of AfD. We are currently soliciting editors with a long record of participation in AfD discussions to send us their feedback via a very informal survey.

The survey takes less than 5 minutes and is available at this URL. Should you have any questions about this project, feel free to get in touch.

Thanks for your help! --DarTar (talk) 10:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It has been years since you have no common sense with Miss Dynamite. Like I say, Miss Dynamite is well-known webcomic that does not fit with infamous singer so you need to restore this article to Miss Dynamite or remove this article otherwise it makes you look like a dolt. Busy? I think you are full of crap. I am not supporting dolty Wikipedians like you and founder. Not response backing and igroning are not mature that means lack of mature but more like childish with a kid-brain. No respect for Wikipedians. --Culby (talk) 17:39, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I recently uploaded a page "Smart Enterprise Proceseses (SEP)" but it calls for speedy deletion. I'm sure that I have committed some mistake while drafting its content. I would be highly thankful to you if you can look into the matter and let me know my mistakes. I'm a big fan of Wikipedia and really want to have this page up. Your edits will help me as future reference. The link to the page is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Enterprise_Processes_(SEP).

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Brainy Smurf is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brainy Smurf until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. JJ98 (Talk / Contributions) 06:49, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Following a community discussion in June 2011, consensus was reached to provisionally suspend the administrative permissions of users who have been inactive for one year (i.e. administrators who have not made any edits or logged actions in over one year). As a result of this discussion, your administrative permissions will be removed pending your return if you do not return to activity within the next month. If you wish to have these permissions reinstated should this occur, please post to the Wikipedia:Bureaucrats' noticeboard and the userright will be restored per the re-sysopping process (i.e., as long as the attending bureaucrats are reasonably satisfied that your account has not been compromised and that your inactivity did not have the effect of evading scrutiny of any actions which might have led to sanctions). This removal of access is procedural only, and not intended to reflect negatively upon you in any way. We wish you the best in future endeavors, and thank you for your past administrative efforts.
