3508: 5208: 1316:...Bravo Zulu!(another naval term) I had almost forgotten about the discussion on deckplate leadership, but it looks as though you have the subject covered beautifully. Being retired now I don't get much facetime with the military life except for the occaisonal funeral detail for a Coast Guardsman that requests a military burial. Most burial details are handled by the Air Force or Army in the area I live in but if a Coast Guardsman's family requests a Coast Guard presence, I volunteer to present the flag to the family. It is an honor I have performed twice now. I need to keep my weight down as the Service Dress Bravo uniform is getting a tad snug in a few places. I would hate to have to purchase a new one to fit, but I would, just to keep up my responsibilities.

Second, seek consensus on the list of wikis talk page that either the inclusion criteria should be expanded, or that an exception should be made for Rationalwiki. I don't think there is merit to the latter, and the former, while possibly difficult, would be a much better option for wikipedia (and having a soft spot for anti-creationism, if there is any defensible evidence of notability I certainly wouldn't nominate it for deletion). Based on the history of the list of wikis page, if you simply decide to re-add it, I think it would be removed by multiple editors. 3548: 6560: 3517: 3472: 3463: 3282: 3539: 4922: 3566: 3913: 7134: 6229: 4425: 4720: 3481: 5194: 4280: 6153: 3152: 6056: 1092: 6391: 4006: 4502: 6442: 3593: 3127: 4337: 4751: 4838: 6361: 3449: 5871: 6211: 5365: 5335: 390: 270: 6667: 6139: 6702: 6167: 6022: 5979: 5924: 5910: 3325: 6629: 6098: 3440: 3104: 2806: 813:. I can appreciate your point of view, but I disagree with most of it. Last point: I understand that you are still a relatively new administrator but comments like, "If you're going to replace speedy deletion tags which I (or, indeed, any other admin) remove then I suggest..." are a bit borderline of "do-what-I-say-because-I-am-an-admin" and is indicative of future abuse of the mop (not that you would ever do such a thing, but don't forget what 5221: 5181: 4481: 883:

that tag, it almost certainly means we don't think it's speediable under any tags - as we can "shoot on sight" when speedily deleting articles we don't have to wait for someone to tag an article with a category that it fits - we can just delete it and fill in our criteria on the deletion form. By removing the tag and not deleting the page, it's an indicator that we don't feel the page can be speedily deleted under any of the criteria.
