Just a note...

...To say I'm glad you decided to reclaim your mop, even if it was a week ago and I evidently wasn't looking at my watchlist very carefully! HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 23:55, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

As am I. It's good to hear from you again my friend. All the best, FASTILY ^(TALK) 20:13, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Hello. I wish to know why you tagged File:LonaBarrison.jpg as unsourced, when the source is specifically stated in the "source" field. Thanks for your feedback. Infrogmation (talk) 22:45, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Honest mistake. Don't know why "Vanity Fair" didn't register with me at first. Must be getting prematurely old :| -FASTILY ^(TALK) 23:05, 26 May 2011 (UTC)

Word Association redirects

Why did you delete them? They should be kept due to historical reasons, especially with the deletion reviews. Simply south...... unintentionally misspelling fr 5 years 22:53, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Word association redirect deletions

I notice you've deleted a large number of redirects of the form Wikipedia:Sandbox/Word association citing R3. However as these were all the result of page move the "recent" criterion of R3 means from when the title was created, not the redirect. In (almost?) all these cases the pages have been at those titles years and so are by no stretch of the imagination "recent".

Even if it was dated from the move, the word association pages were moved in early November 2010 - nearly 7 months ago - and so still not "recent" by any reasonable measure.

Finally, given the content was at those titles for several years, they certainly don't count as "implausible" either. While they may or may not remain useful, that is a question for WP:RFD to decide - not speedy deletion. Thryduulf (talk) 22:57, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

A few things:

1. The definition of "recent" is relative and flexible; it can refer to values ranging from a few minutes to a few years. Furthermore, I neither know of, nor can find a policy page restricting the time period in which redirects may be deleted as recent. That said, your "recent" argument/assertion does not stand. Nonetheless, feel free to try convince me otherwise.
2. For the record, if the use of R3 bothers you, I can always re-delete the redirects under G6.
3. If you honestly feel strongly about preserving these orphaned redirects, go ahead and restore and list them at RfD. I'm just trying to do my job as a sysop and clean this place up. FWIW, I am indifferent about the fate of these redirects and I do not intend to fight a war to keep them deleted. If the community decides to keep them, then so be it.

Hope that helps to clarify my position. Let me know if you have any other questions/comments. Regards, FASTILY ^(TALK) 03:21, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
