Danger Reports

• User:DangerReport/Margaret General Hospital (Crooketon)
• User:DangerReport/St. Matheos's Hospital (Crooketon)

Restored these as they were crit 1'ed for being duplicates, however this name is correct and their cousins should've been deleted originally. --  RoosterDragon  21:14, 21 July 2009 (BST)

Median Battle Rating

Median Battle Rating was deleted as a userpage redirect. If not made a redirect, at least the relevant info (stats discussion) from User:John Ember should be placed on the page -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 13:50 7 July 2009 (BST)

Done, as the latter. --Cyberbob 14:04, 7 July 2009 (BST)

Amnesia

I loved this page. There was no reason for it to be deleted. I have made an in game group called Amnesia and wish for this page to be undeleted.--xoxo 17:02, 29 June 2009 (BST)

If you've made a new group called Amnesia then create the group page yourself, don't ask for us to undelete a useless crit 1. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 17:12, 29 June 2009 (BST)

This is preemptive as if i recreate the page it will be deleted as a 6. --xoxo 17:15, 29 June 2009 (BST)

It will technically be a different group so no, it won't be Crit 6'd. --Cyberbob 17:20, 29 June 2009 (BST)

But one might not be aware of that, hence i created this.--xoxo 17:23, 29 June 2009 (BST)

If someone had taken it upon themselves to bring this up on A/SD they would have been told exactly the same thing. Whatever. --Cyberbob 17:25, 29 June 2009 (BST)

Crit's are invalidated if the content and purpose of the article is different to that which was deleted. It's happened before and I would have kept Amnesia if you had made a group page on it, as you claim you will. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 17:27, 29 June 2009 (BST)

Template:LosHombresSiniestros

User:Sam 2334 didn't know how to include the template on his group's page, so it was deleted. --Janus ^talk 20:28, 8 June 2009 (BST)

Done by The General, thanks. --Janus ^talk 20:57, 8 June 2009 (BST)

Galbraith_Hills_Auto_Repairs

Yet a-fucking-gain.

Nubis decides he's going to delete this page for no apparent reason. it does not qualify for a scheduled deletion, and although there is a single SD vote on it there is also a Keep. Therefore it cannot be a speedy deletion either. Therefore it must be a normal deletion....open for less than 24 hours.

The top of the page clearly fucking states: "Once the deletion request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be voted on for a period of two (2) weeks, as judged by the initial datestamp." - Two weeks in less than 24 hours? Has the Mass Hadron Collector finally made a black hole and we're suffering from time dilation or is Nubis deciding yet again to take unilateral action without possible oversight by the community?

It's not like he's been found guilty of misconduct for ignoring the red tape in regards to deletions before, you'd have thought he'd have taken the time to learn the required red tape or move to change it if he didn't like it. Apparently he's done neither.

Request Denied - Links are all fixed and the page now serves no purpose due to everything being unmerged. Feel free to take him to Misconduct but resurrecting the page just to delete it again later is a waste of time. -- Cheese 12:41, 13 May 2009 (BST)

This is what, the 6th time nubis has deleted a page with keep votes? If it was anybody else i'd say resurrecting it would be a waste of time however leaving it deleted just says to nubis that the way he does things is fine (which, on second thought, you probably think it is...)--xoxo 05:52, 27 May 2009 (BST)

ODC

Incompetence.

According to policy: "A page has been listed on UDWiki:Administration/Deletions, and that page has been deemed eligible for Deletion by the wiki community, in compliance with the rules of the Deletions page."

The guidelines of the Deletions page clearly state: "If more Delete votes are entered than Keep votes, the page will be deleted. In any other circumstance, the page is kept." - Emphasis mine.

The deletions entry for this page shows eight votes within the two week voting period. Four voting for deletion (Cheese, SA, Link and DDR) and four for keeping the page (myself, Janus, Pesto and Wan). There were not more votes for deletion, as the vote was tied. As this is "any other circumstance" the page should have been kept.

The page was deleted, by a sysop that voted for its deletion and against the rules of the deletions process. I would put this up for Misconduct, but we all know that there's no point and taking something there is like asking for impartiality in the jury from To Kill a Mockingbird. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:17, 9 May 2009 (BST)

And to even think that the reason you didn't take it to A/M was because of the amount of evidence supporting the chance that it was just a dumb mistake. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 13:26, 9 May 2009 (BST)

And how many times have we seen mistakes in basic fucking numeracy when it comes to something that is against the sysop in question? How hard would it have been to double check the votes if this was done in good faith in respect to the trust they are supposed to embody? -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 13:33, 9 May 2009 (BST)

1? And I'm sure he did double check the votes. I did twice after Ross complained about it on SA's talk page, and I still missed Pest's keep vote. However, if you are just that right, why not take it to A/M? Seriously, what do you have to lose? D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 14:29, 9 May 2009 (BST)

I did not complain. I merely questioned. Frankly since getting demoted I've done nothing but mildly annoy them. First conn and the bizzarre not a dupe ruling, now this. How long until grim can come back?--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:45, 9 May 2009 (BST)

There's a difference between can and will. And in Grim's mind, there is neither. Shame. Petition time? D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 14:55, 9 May 2009 (BST)

No. I just hope someone does something special for the grimiversary. I also notice that Talk:ODC is still full of stuff. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 14:59, 9 May 2009 (BST)

Undeleted - but that whole rant was made all the more classic by the fact that you yourself displayed the exact same degree of of incompetence only today -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 15:15 9 May 2009 (BST)

Difference? I wasn't using a restricted ability that is given to users on the understanding they can be both trustworthy and competent in the use of them. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 16:34, 9 May 2009 (BST)

Yeah, I know I asked for a Crit 8 speedy earlier, don't hurt me. I decided to bring this character back after all, and don't want to go through the effort of re-creating the page. Not at 2:30 in the morning anyway. --_Vic D'Amato__Dead vs Blue_ 07:35, 5 March 2009 (UTC) EDIT: Not the corresponding journal page though.

NT image files

[1], [2], [3], [4],[5], [6], [7], [8], [9]

Today, Nubis deleted a lot of older NT scan .pngs because they do not currently link to anything. That's because many of the scan .png files were replaced on their NT pages with an animated "static" .gif image to illustrate that they need a new scan. However, the older images were not truly orphans. If someone were to want to update the NTs now, it would be more convenient to retain those old pictures so that a) there is no confusion about what filename and type the updated image should use, b) there is the convenience of the "upload a new version of this image," rather than leave someone confused as to why no image exists currently, and c) the original images have a record of the previous revisions, which is useful information. ~ extropymine ^{Talk | NW | 4Corners} 01:01, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Images cannot be undeleted. If the images were in use (read, placed on a page) then this is a case for misconduct. If they were not in use then they qualify for a scheduled deletion as they were classed as dead images, image ark anything yoiu might need in future. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 01:07, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, it's not the end of the world, it just makes for a little more inconvenient work when those NTs need to be updated with new NecroNet scans. We'll live. ~ extropymine ^{Talk | NW | 4Corners} 03:33, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, what Iscariot said. Make a page like NecroWatch/scans, and link to all of them. Then they won't qualify for the scheduled deletion. By the way, the ability to undelete images can be enabled (or so I've read,) on this version, but it comes default in this newest one... although it needs to be upgraded. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:56, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've brought up the idea on the NecroWatch talk page, and linked this discussion to it. Thanks, guys! ~ extropymine ^{Talk | NW | 4Corners} 07:02, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Template:GrimGod

Nostalgia, plus template in use. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 04:11, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Here's the thing. It was Crit 7 but, there are two things. Cyberbob can come by and be willing to wave that by saying he's for the undeletion, if he in-fact is. Or, we can continue the discussion from IRC and decide if we want to treat Template pages as public and beyond author ownership once in use. The issue is mostly that how far would that go and would that apply to this template as much as it does to a utilitarian one like {{{2}}}. --Karek^maps?! 04:22, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Further discussion has been had at least a bit, I'm gonna treat this as an un-owned page and undelete for now. It might be deleted in the future but since the issue is more if there is ownership of templates and if so where does it end the undeletion request certainly is valid due to the usage thing. --Karek^maps?! 04:34, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

I think that template pages that are actually in use on other peoples pages shouldn't be seen as being "owned" by the creator, even if they are author only edited. If it was in his namespace it'd be different -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 01:26 16 February 2009 (BST)

I don't mind, for the record. --Cyberbob 04:35, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

User:PsychophillKILLER

Cheese deleted this as a scheduled 'vandal created page'. User pages have always been different to this. Otherwise we'd be deleting every single userspace page made by banned users under the criteria that they created it, and they are a vandal. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 20:05, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Umbrella Corporation/Report

It was democraticly agreed that it should stay.

--Thadeous Oakley 14:46, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

The vote was on a page that ought to have been immediately deleted as a deletion workaround, and the poster slapped with a vandal warning. So that "vote" doesn't matter a whit. In any event, the vote was not over and thus there was no final decision made, either way.

Bottom line is that the page in question is libellous, violates privacy and is in all regards wholly inappropriate content for this wiki. That's why it was deleted in the first place. --WanYao 15:47, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php/UDWiki:Administration/Vandal_Banning/Archive/2009_01#User:MisterGame --Thadeous Oakley 16:24, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

And your point is what, exactly? That vandalism case has no bearing on the Undeletion requestr. In any event, only one sysop has ruled on said case... it ain't over yet. But no matter what the sysops decide on the vandalism case -- and I will respect that decision -- my argument against undeletion is crystal clear. Now, grow up already. --WanYao 18:04, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

For sake or clarity and completeness, here is the vote in favour of deleting the original page, whose content has simply been reposted (deletion workaround) on the Umbrella_Corporation/Report page: linky link to the vote. --WanYao 18:09, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

First, learn to format, please. Second, request denied. Ignoring all of the deletion vote drama the page is mostly a chat log. You can not expand upon chat logs. This isn't your livejournal where people want to read your chat logs. Why in the hell would you post a chat log? Not to mention, maybe if a few of these hate pages were nipped in the bud it could cool down the flame war between you two (not you, Wan - the Umbrellas). Besides, you haven't shown a good enough reason to justify recreating or restoring that page.--– Nubis ^NWO 18:25, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

If he wants to post a chat log why not let him? You don't want to read his chat log, someone might. I like it how when deletions (aka democracy) fails you just a/sd it then refuse undeletions requests. Sounds familiar. --xoxo 01:48, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

If I'm correct, this data is duplicated off-site. Why not just post a link to the thread on your forums then, Thadeous? Linkthewindow  Talk  08:32, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

You know, this page is not even that important to me. However, the fact that Karek overruled the opinion of 13 people including two syops is plain...well...just wow. It makes total sense.--Thadeous Oakley 18:51, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
