Just recieved an email from Poodle.


{{Quote|Poodle of doom|About the undeletion request... if dumuzi wants it, he should get it. Truth be known, I didn't create the main page. I wasn't the only person in my group editing it. I wasn't acting on behalf of my group when I put it up for A/SD. If he wants it, at the very least, give him the codes for each page, so he can start a fresh group page.}}

===[[Talk:Holland Vs Spain]]===
I'd like to see if there were any other comments made after my departure to sleep. After that it can be re-deleted. This request would not have been necessary, if you guys would have contacted the author next time instead of immediately speeding it, cuz I was planning to put it up for deletion just as well, ''after'' taking a look on it.
Speedy deleting a page within hours of creation time without even contacting the author is not good form. Sure the page was crit 2, but nothing of serious harm. If you really were in such a rush then just move to my user-space next time. --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 11:11, 12 July 2010 (BST)

===[[UDWiki:Administration/Policy Discussion/Petition to Unban JR streets]]===
Yes, this was a stupid policy proposal that was defeated. But I don't believe in deleting wiki history, especially for the fact that that this '''was''' a Policy. It's similar to that of Rasher's Policy Proposal to unban Amazing and ban Rasher instead. And since that Policy Proposal wasn't deleted, I can't help but think that this Policy shouldn't be deleted either.--[[User:ShadowScope|ShadowScope]]<sup>[[User:Kevan|'the true enemy']]</sup> 22:03, 14 June 2010 (BST)

===[[User:Iscariot]]===
Whether he wants it or not, since when do we delete users? He's been here for so long, and his name links on allot pages. Also his talkpage is a soon to be crit 5 trap waiting to be tripped. Just because he decides to leave doesn't mean we should delete his existence on this wiki. I'm also not at all happy with Misantrophy handling Izzy request off-site, all sysops actions and motivations should be recorded on the wiki. (in other words, Iscariot should have requested his deletion on A/D, not through some private site) --[[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]][[User:MisterGame|<span style= "color: maroon; background-color: white">'''''Thadeous Oakley''''']][[Image:Umbrella-White.png|14px]]</span> 16:42, 6 May 2010 (BST)

He is gone from the wiki. If Grim had opted for his page to be deleted, or hell, anyone else, upon leaving, it'd be respected. It's time to grow up guys.

Sifting through Jack's mess of an IP history, my favourite thing to do. Sadly, I couldn't find any IPs linking the two of you, however I did find you linked to other alts including a permabanned vandal alt that impersonated another user.

This page is for the request of page undeletions within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to concerns about loss of data, the ability to undelete pages is restricted to system operators. As such, regular users will need to request an undeletion from a system operator. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.

Please note that Images cannot be restored, they are permanently gone when deleted. If you wish to prevent any currently unused images from being deleted you may wish to Image Ark them.

Due to the new software update, images deleted from the wiki after 21st April 2011 can be undeleted. Images deleted prior to this date unfortunately cannot be restored.

Guidelines for Undeletion Requests

All Undeletion Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:

  • A link to the deletion request in question. Preferably bolded for visibility.
  • A reason for undeletion. This should be short and to the point.
  • A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding ~~~~ to the end of your request.

Any undeletion request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.

Undeletions may only be granted if the user provides a convincing reason as to why the page should be resurrected, or if the page was deleted as a result of a system operators abuse.

Once the undeletion request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be reviewed by a member of the Sysop team, and action taken accordingly. Once action has been taken, the request will be moved into Recent Actions, along with a comment from the system operator who determined the action take. After a week has passed with the target page in Recent Actions, it can be moved to the Archive.

I’d do it myself but, y’know….
  • User would like her user page restored.
The deletion was valid, as I believe can be confirmed by Spiderzed in addition to Aichon and myself if necessary, but was ineffective at the time and is in any case no longer required.
I have the user’s explicit authorisation to post this request.
