Category talk:Articles that need deletion

This is a useful category and in no way takes away from the fun of the wiki. This is just proper wiki management. I dislike blanking a page as a method for leading to deletion, especially since you said the wiki doesn't notify you that the page is blanked, and anyway, it makes you view history just to see what it was that got blanked. Besides, now I can note images that are duplicates and should be removed. I am trying to clean up the issues with the images on the wiki (unused files and dupes) and this is helpful to me. So please don't stand in the way of this. It in no way adds any burden to you as a sysop.

Oh my, aren't you the paranoid one today? You're the one who cracks down on stuff just because it's useless or requires cleanup or whatever... not me ^_^

The worst thing that can happen is that I'll overlook a few categorizations and won't check on the category page, so you'll still have to remind me somehow.

I don't remember being vocally opposed to such a category. The only thing I stand in the way of is compulsive editing. Quality takes time and transparency.

Speaking of unused images, I'll eventually delete every uncategorized image that is only "used" in your Images/Whaveter galleries: proper management ;)

I fail to see what's the problem with the PV karate Konoko (btw, you name your own stuff with a lot less ambiguity than other people's fan art, doncha? ^_^)

I'll also keep the beer and pron things, just to remind us of our early days. I won't uncategorize them. And I won't give you any more reasons for that ^_^

"I don't remember being vocally opposed to such a category." From your talk page: "Don't even think about using templates and such for [marking pages for deletion]." So I was just pre-emptively trying to avoid any trouble by accusing you of having a problem with something before you could say that you did; that's a technique you use with me all the time ("don't think of [this]", "don't try to [that]" before I've done anything), so fair's fair.

"I'll eventually delete every uncategorized image"... Now, I don't consider that proper wiki management. But if you're saying that I just have to find a category for all those images in order to save them from deletion, then fine, categorizing is what I do best. And who knows, I might just happen to "forget" to categorize certain fan art. I do have a decent idea of what looks good and what doesn't, you know.

I wanted Karate Konoko gone because it's WIP. The other art I uploaded from my (halted) project was done, at least as far as that style, or version, is concerned. If I or someone else uploads unfinished art, it then has to be replaced every time I upload a new version, so it's better to wait until it's done to my satisfaction (I explained that on the talk page for Images somewhere.)

I have to admit, the beer and pron images do amuse me. I just wanted to draw your attention to them as the old, unused files that they are. --Iritscen 14:53, 12 March 2008 (CET)
