As so many have asked about my health, in email and on this page, and been so kind as to offer kind thoughts and prayers for my health, I feel obligated to post an update. For those for whom this is Too Much Personal Information, please just ignore this.
The good news is that none of the truly nasty things which my physician tested for came back positive.
More good news is that I will be back to "normal".
The bad news is that she doesn't expect me up to full par for at least a year, as of my last visit, May 10, 2007, although she assures me if I am a good puppy and follow her directions, I will improve steadily (I'm being a good puppy).
More possible bad news is that she hasn't ruled out all of the nasties, she just wants to see how I'm doing after 6 months before deciding whether to send me for more tests (current condition could be masking other symptoms).
The truly excellent news is that so many people have been so kind and understanding. My thanks to you all.
You're assuming I can handle a speedy when I just learned how to enter dates correctly after 9 months on Wikipedia? I'll take that as a compliment, but, no, I can't speedy--literally can't figure out how to do it, not am unwilling to or disagree with the concept. KP Botany22:02, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wow, I did it. I prodded a nasty attack BLP that had been up for speedy before, and no one had checked the sources it supposedly referenced. I was a little supsicious, so I checked the sources, which said nothing that was nastily claimed in the article, edited them out of the article, added what I guessed! would be the appropriate speedy tag (although I tried two, and can't remember what worked) for an attack article, it worked and showed up to say what it was supposed to, and within seconds the article and all its nastiness was gone from Wikipedia--including from my edit history! Thank you. Your post may even survive my next temper tantrum. KP Botany04:02, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While we're on the subject
Since you said this I wonder if you might opine on the civility and offensiveness of making snide comments about a mental disability. --Ideogram21:19, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As the edit you link to has nothing to do with mental disability, I'm wondering about the relevance. I will certainly offer an opinion, if asked for, about any specific comment. I prefer not to make general comments about "snide comments" about "mental disabilities" without seeing context and phrasing. Perhaps you could paste a diff? KillerChihuahua?!?10:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Or it could be an expression of concern, or a joke - its not anything like the remark I was commenting on in the post to whcih you linked. This is not "on the subject" this is two totally different things. No background is required to see that "shake sand out of their vaginas" addressed at large is crude and offensive. The post you linked to clearly requires some context, which I do not have, nor do I have time to read up on any disabilities you may or may not have, and your past interactions with another editor. I'm sorry, I really cannot be of any assistance with this. KillerChihuahua?!?04:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please consider undeleting Lillian Stewart Carl. You deleted it as an A7 (no assertion of significance). The version you deleted included publication info on over a dozen books (which alone is at least a claim of significance, IMO. It also included the statrement that Carl was instrumental in inducing Lois McMaster Bujold to start writing. No LMB is a very notable writer indeed -- she is tied with Robert A. Heinlein for the most Hugo awards for novels ever, for example. This statement was poorly sourced in the article, but can be sourced better -- in fact the introduction to Dreamweaver's Dilemma by LMB says the same thing. The notability of this author might be debated at an AfD (although i would make a case for keeping at an AfD), but I don't think it is at all qualified for an A7 Speedy delete. DES(talk)05:21, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any sources about her other than her home page? Anything which might indicate she's notable? Any articles about any of those books? Anyone can have a book published, and we've all had childhood friends. There was no assertion of notability. If you can find a couple of good sources, say a review of one of her books in the NYT, let me know and I'll undelete so you can add all of that. KillerChihuahua?!?10:35, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Frankly, that is the kind of request that would be proper at an AfD, but not on a speedy delete under A7. Any claim of notability is enough that an A7 is improper, and while a published book is certianly not conclusive proof of notability, and might well not suffice at an AfD, it is IMO a claim of notability. It is not true, BTW, that "Anyone can have a book published" -- if you exclude vnity publications which these were not, it is by no means easy to have a book, much less a dozen books, published by a mainstream publisher. Note that the article as you delted it listed multiple books published by Wildside Press, which is a smaller independant publisher, but a legitimate non-vanity publisher, and no less than four books by Ace, which is a major publisher of fiction, particualrly science fiction. I think that alone establishes enough notability to avoid a speedy. I have also mentioned the published account in Dreamweaver's Dilemma. Note that WP:DP says "If a page was obviously deleted "out of process" (per this policy), then an admin may choose to undelete it immediately." I think that I would be justified in simply restoring without further discussion under this provision. I am sure that if brought to deletion review as the matter stands the page would be undeleted, an possibly sent to AFD. Do you seriously belive that the article as it stood when you deleted it failed to "assert the importance or significance of its subject" as per WP:CSD#A7? You do understand that to "assert" as used in the CSD is far less than to "prove", and that supporting references are not required to avoid a speedy? I am not going to just undeleted or use DRV at this point, but please rethink not only this deletion but your standards for speedy deletion in general, if this is typical of them. DES(talk)15:43, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I Have found 4 online reveiws of her work that would be IMO citable, plus several other online sources that i would include in the article, BTW. None are at the NYT level, but lots of authors we include aren't, and such sources are often not easily available online anyway. I still maintain that the article as you delted it, with nothing more, was not a proper speedy. DES(talk)16:42, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article makes ZERO claims of notability. Many of the books are on either a vanity press or eBooks, Wildstar and Ace notwithstanding, and not all of the authors published by them are notable - and regardless, a list is a list, not an assertion of notability. Gastrich has published books which are for sale on Amazon, for crying out loud. And a one-liner that she knew another author and encouraged that author is not even close to a claim of notability. My point in asking was that if there were a claim of notability which could be sourced, I would undelete so you could add that. I agree, its not the usual method with an A7 - but I'm trying to work with you. The information you gave is unidentified sources for reviews, but I'm not going to be on much for a few days. I've undeleted, try to add some content with third party sources, ok? KillerChihuahua?!?04:26, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly disagree on what constitues a "claim of notability". I was about to take this to DRV. I might add that NONE of the books were published by vanity presses, adn of those published as e-books, all had previously been published in paper, by legitimate publishers. That said, i will add multiple third-party sources today, and clean up the article significantly. Thanks for undeleting. DES(talk)13:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have more that I will be adding to this, when i have a chance, but I think you will agree that the article as it now stands is a long way from an A7 deletion. I hope so, at least. DES(talk)17:54, 19 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry iof you found my tone uncivil -- I didn't intend to attack you. I do disagree, strongly, with a spcific action you took, and with what I percieve to be the standard behind that action. Specifically, you seem to be saying that an A7 is approprate unless claims of contability are a) supported by references, and b) sufficent to pass WP:BIO or to surviuve an AfD. Perhaps i misunderstnd you. But if that is what you are stating, i strongly disagree. There was a proposal to require all bios to be sourcd or face speedy deletion: it was defeated at the same time that A7 was first approved. The examples at that time make it clear that even a faint claim is sufficient. indeed I woudl assert that being the author of even one book published by a mainstream (non-vanity) print publisher is enough of a claim to avoid an A7. It might well not be enough at an AfD, depending on what coulod be found about the book, but that is another matter. If you review the various discussions at WT:CSD, I think that my view is failry common on the scope of A7. Remember that A7 was devised largely to avoid clutering up AfD (then VfD) with auto-bios of high-shcool and college students, and similar obvious junk. Where there is a reasoable chance that future editing or an AfD could produce evidence of true notability, then IMO speedy deletion should not be used. Perhaps you disagree.

My Quagmire
Hey KC!! Just wondering, I spend a lot of time reverting pages and warning users, so the majority of my mainspace edits are reverts. I just want to contribute something else to the Mainspace, but don't understand how people can get 500+ edits there in a month, not much of which are reverts. It just seems like I could contribute more, but I don't know how to edit on that scale. Arknascar44¡Hablar Conmigo!21:12, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A nice juicy bone for the puppyHi, Puppy, so sorry to see that the health notice is still at the top of your page. I was starting to email you earlier today, when I was temporarily without internet access, but then the internet access came back on! I do owe you an email, though, and you will get it. I'm really at your talk page to thank you for your support at my RfA. I don't intend to go through all the names of people who supported me and leave boilerplate thank yous, as I know it annoys some people, so I had decided to wait until I actually had something to say, and then to slip in my thank you at the same time. However, you've been so kind from the start that I feel confident that you're not someone who'll be annoyed by a thank you. I've been leaving some nice Viennese biscuits for some of the people who supported me, but I thought for a puppy, a nice, juicy bone would be more appropriate. Anyway, it's very nice to have the trust of the person who welcomed me to Wikipedia and answered all my early questions. I've read various instructions, and have tried out all the buttons, even semi-protecting my user page for a few hours. I was a little puzzled by the "cascading protection", but think I've figured out what it is, and don't expect to use it anyway. Please feel free to let me know if you ever think I'm doing anything wrong. I hope your health continues to improve, and I hope the juicy bone will put new strength in you!

Ah, thank you so much, sweetie! You are more than deserving of any help I have given you, or trust I have shown you.
For future reference, actually prefer more mainstream foods... Steak... Beer... Cake... I loved the ice cream you gave me that one time! Although now that Bishzilla has eaten the machine, I guess that's in the past. *sigh* Perhaps Geogre can make another cake... KillerChihuahua?!?17:22, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, it's most unfortunate that 'Zilla has eaten the machine. With the summer approaching, I'm already beginning to regret my generosity in giving it to her. Perhaps she might consider returning it to me if she's unable to digest it, as I was planning to make some more ice creams for Wikipedia. In the meantime, this is the best I can do!

Oh, I'm sorry, 'Zilla. I forgot that you were a little weak on verbs, though exceptionally strong on nouns and adjectives.

On some of your Talk Archive you have the following"DO NOT EDIT OR POST REPLIES TO THIS PAGE. THIS PAGE IS AN ARCHIVE.", So I just wanted to know if you would like me to put {{talkarchive}} on them.Arnon Chaffin (Talk) 13:16, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Those are pages which were archived before {{talkarchive}} was written, or at any rate before the bright orange confusing wording version was replaced. I'm aware of what is on my archives, my question is; why do you want to templatize my archives? Does it bother you that much that they aren't standardized? KillerChihuahua?!?13:59, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just throw a steak to the puppy, and I'm sure she'll forgive you. She's pretty protective of steaks, rarely sharing them with anyone. Orangemarlin16:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Ignore the funny colored fish. He tried to steal my steak once, and we'll be old and grey before he stops whimpering about it. Please to place images on this page? Cute kittens are always good. :-) KillerChihuahua?!?17:24, 24 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I realize that when I wasnt paying attention, a few articles I would like to have access to were deleted. Can I give you a short list to get restored? What is the best way to do this? Thanks...nice doggy.--Filll04:14, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Give me the list, and then we'll discuss the best way to proceed. Also, please note whether you want them available to you, in userspace, or in mainspace - it will make a difference. KillerChihuahua?!?11:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hello KillerChihuahua, a long time ago you placed an Unsourced tag on this article. It was one of the first articles I wrote, the first in English for certain (I'm Dutch). Everything in the article is sourced in the links and the books mentioned. If you have some spare time, take a look and tell me what to do about the article to make it right. I think it's not Unsourced anymore. Soczyczi21:42, 28 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
