 * Well, someone might want to thank you for something you did, or if you did something wrong they might let you know. -F1racer101 20:55, 23 December 2010 (CST)
 * Agreed. IKJames 02:58, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

 * It was deleted due to breaking Wiki Rule #3. IKJames 03:47, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Delete rather than move?
I noticed you deleted an article twice today because you said it should have been in the Tutorials section. Fair enough, but why didn't you just move it there yourself? Would have been a lot quicker than deleting it and typing in your reason for deletion, surely? --DannyF1966 18:40, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Technically there already was a article over the in the Tutorials section for it titled "Beginner's Guide" IKJames 18:42, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
 * just throwing my opinion in here, but if they make a tutorial in the mainspace, that means they haven't read the wiki rules, and the page deserves deletion for that alone. just my personal opinion.--Kizzycocoa 18:44, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Trigger happy
I'm amazed. I just spent hours writing 20kb of new material for the Materials page, from scratch, and you just deleted it without question - apparently for the reason the PREVIOUS version was removed. Did you honestly think that was an undelete operation I performed (hint: regular users can't do that), or were you purposely seeking to get a rise out of me? I'm not a happy camper. - Bomb Bloke (Talk/Contribs) 01:26, 26 December 2010 (CST)
 * I went through the history of the last version to see why it was deleted due to this was a new page, I came to conclusion it should of been deleted like the last time since the information seemed to of been contained on other pages - just like what the old delete tag mentioned. I'm sure I could let the other Adminstrators have their say on it too (I'm guessing they'd agree with me) IKJames 01:43, 26 December 2010 (CST)

Opacity deletion
Hello. I just found opacity was deleted with a cause "Breaking Wiki Rule #3". I read this rule before but let me cite it here: "Pages about very simple things, e.g. 'House', 'Deleting', 'Bed' and others, are not allowed. These topics are very unnecessary as they are plain tasks anybody with a tiny bit of intelligence can do." But I don't think opacity is a very simple thing. I wrote the opacity article after explosion because I thought opacity at least controls part of the explosion behavior. Then It took me half a day to read the decompiled source to give a comprehensive description of it. This property is widely referenced in many block definitions, and has sophiscated effect on redstone and water behaviors which I had planned to elaberate on. I hope you can undelete this article and let me finish it. Xfs 19:25, 26 December 2010 (UTC)
 * The Explosion page is now marked as needing to be merged with TNT due to the relationship between Creepers and TNT. Making a page on opacity is like making a page on food digestion, you can put this info on other pages though. IKJames 19:35, 26 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Please. It's necessary and can't be put into other pages. For example, A note mentioned trees have a characteristic:

"Growing leaves will destroy fences and may destroy glass and torches if they attempt to grow horizontally in the same space."


 * This is actually incomplete, and can be corrected as

"Growing leaves will destroy any opaque blocks if they attempt to grow horizontally in the same space."


 * Then we need a definition of what opaque blocks are. If information about opacity must be put into other pages, it will look like this in every page referencing opacity:

"Growing leaves will destroy any sapling, yellow flower, red rose, brown mushroom, red mushroom, crops, reed, water, stationary water, lava, stationary lava, leaves (only when graphics are on fancy), glass, step, mob spawner, wooden and cobblestone stairs, soil, snow, ice, cactus, fence, torch, fire, redstone (wire), sign post, wooden and iron door, ladder, minecart tracks, wall sign, lever, wooden and stone pressure plate, redstone torch off/on, button, portal blocks if they attempt to grow horizontally in the same space."


 * Or it will be inomplete if not lengthy:

"Growing leaves will destroy fences and many other blocks, if they attempt to grow horizontally in the same space."


 * Opacity is a property of blocks on its own sake. OK, I realize I can put it into Blocks. Can you undelete it and merge it with Blocks? Xfs 01:52, 27 December 2010 (UTC)
