@firma edit

I notice that this article has been deleted multiple times as overtly promotional. While the article had issues, and its creation by a user clearly associated with the project is problematic, I think the article had some merits. I believe that a non-promotional version could have been wrestled from the version that existed, and since this software appears to be the mandated form of document signature software in Spain, it would appear to be notable enough.

Deletion of Page edit

Hello Lectonar, I am writing to you concerning a particular article: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Februtosus&action=view I believe you deleted this page because it is a "made up holiday", but it is that fact that makes it so important. This is a made up holiday that is celebrated at midwest United States college campus every year to celebrate the coming of March. It was started in 2003 and continues to this day because of an ever growing amount of support from the student body. I am a very new user to wikipedia in terms of editing, but would you please allow me to reinstate the page and update the information? Thank you for your consideration. You can respond via my Talk page (jmccarthy11 is my username) or any other method of contact that you have available to you. Thank you again.Jmccarthy11 (talk) 22:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of WheelTug Page edit

Lectonar, I was surprised to see the deletion of the WheelTug page, and I have looked into the matter and discovered that the WheelTug website thought the article was so good in explaining the WheelTug system that they simply reposted it. The Copywrite symbol was on the frame of the web page and not the article itself. (It provides legal protection for them.) How can I get the article reposted and what should I tell them about whatever accredation change they should include at http://www.wheeltug.com/overview.shtml Is it enough for them to just add a line saying the information was taken from Wikipedia? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chovesh (talkcontribs) 15:45, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of "Oglaf" article. March 10 2011 edit

Hello, I am writing to ask for permission to write another article on the webcomic "Oglaf". I realize that in my original article I did not properly convey why this was notable enough to warrant being written about. This is a relatively new webcomic, and the artist who does it already has another article on her previous work ("Platinum Grit"), and I've been seeing progressively more of Oglaf on the web. I came on wikipedia wanting to read up on it, and when I found there wasn't an article up I was hoping to help.

If it's alright, I'd like permission to write a more fleshed out article that properly cites the subject's notability. Thank you. Smokefilledroom (talk) 00:54, 11 March 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smokefilledroom (talkcontribs) 08:09, 10 March 2011 (UTC)

Notification: changes to "Mark my edits as minor by default" preference edit

Hello there. This is an automated message to tell you about the gradual phasing out of the preference entitled "Mark all edits minor by default", which you currently have (or very recently had) enabled.

On 13 March 2011, this preference was hidden from the user preferences screen as part of efforts to prevent its accidental misuse (consensus discussion, guidelines for use at WP:MINOR). This had the effect of locking users in to their existing preference, which, in your case, was true. To complete the process, your preference will automatically be changed to false in the next few days. This does not require any intervention on your part and all users will still be able to manually mark their edits as being minor in the usual way.

For well-established users such as yourself there is a workaround available involving custom JavaScript. If you have any problems, feel free to drop me a note.

Thank you for your understanding and happy editing :) Editing on behalf of User:Jarry1250, LivingBot (talk) 20:27, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

What about the content of the article or it's appropriate format is "promotional" or advertising? (Full article below sans formatting) The guidelines have been adhered to; the references are credible sources, the formatting is in context with a wiki-compliant article. It makes no sense-- There are companies and iphone apps which have wiki pages which are purely promotional. Please highlight what it is exactly about this article that is unfit for publication on wikipedia? Videoequipmentdiva (talk) 18:21, 25 March 2011 (UTC)videoequipmentdiva


The deleted article was written by CrewsControlCam and it was deleted. I responded to that article with "hang on" while I researched the company. On March 25, a new article-- a completely rewritten article written in NPOV and in accordance to wiki guidelines was reposted. You didn't nominate it for deletion you just deleted it.

Hi Lectonar - I think I tried to contact you about this before. I am going to try to draft this article again.

Editor requesting assistance edit

Hello Lectonar - I just wanted to let you know that the creator of an article you deleted has additional questions regarding the deletion. --Jezebel'sPonyobons mots 14:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Lectonar- the same user asked me why his article was deleted. He did put a few links to sources on his talk page. (I assume they were in the article as well). While the majority were unreliable, two looked somewhat decent. He claims he rewrote and improved the article, making G4 inapplicable (although I am unable to see the article and don't know if it really was improved). The copyright bot found similar text at a wikipedia clone site, which originally got the text from here, so I think that the article is not really a copyright problem. Anyway, could you userfy the article to his userspace? I'll try and help him improve it from there. --E♴(talk) 22:42, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Nicomsoft edit

Thank you for addressing this CSD request. As you can see this same editor seems to keep recreating this article over and over again, even though it seems pretty clearly non-notable spam. I have warned the page creator as all his edits have been about this company and their products, but I suspect he will recreate it again. Perhaps I can impose upon you to keep an eye on this?

Pilvi Computing Inc edit

G11: Yes, this is a company, but the entry is only stating _facts_ about the company and the product, i.e. not advertising.

A7: The company is important as it fills a market segment that is not currently widely available in the high-performance cloud computing market place, i.e. _customization_, and _ease_of_use_ when it comes to cloud computing resources.

Please reinstate the entry, and/or advise regarding any changes that would be needed.

about OCR edit

What is the objective reason for removal of my edits in the article "List of optical character recognition software"? Do you claim that Nicomsoft CrystalOCR is not the OCR? Or do you know that Leadtools does not use OmniPage? Your corrections distort the real information about the existing OCRs. If you think it is advertising, then the entire article may be considered advertising. Some of the programs mentioned in the article are resellers or shells, rather than actual OCR. You removed both articles about Nicomsoft and tne note about its OCR in the article about OCRs. I agree that you can consider the article about Nicomsoft as some kind of promotion, but I do not understand why you removed the note about its OCR (CrystalOCR). --Vlajet (talk) 09:24, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Hello, My name is Natalia Olaru and I am a final year master student in the Corporate Communication programme at the Aarhus School of Business in Denmark. I am currently working on my final paper on the topic of the motivation of users to create content on collaborative media websites, the focus being Wikipedia. As a sample I chose the English and Danish portals. I would like to invite you for an online interview on the topic of what motivates you, as a user, to participate in editing and creating articles for this platform. Your real identity, and wikipedia account will be kept confidential through the paper. I plan on doing the actual interviews in the period between 6st and the 15th of May via Skype, MSN, Google Talk or Yahoo Messenger. I am, however, open to other channels of communication too.

Dear Gosh, I just submitted an article to inform wikipedia users about the 'British School of Bucharest'. The school is a Non profit school and the information is not intended to sell the school but rather to inform people about the school so that they know it exists and have a little information about it. There are almost no adjectives hyping it up or information about the programmes offered, prices, etc. Just information about the school itself, the accreditation it has, location, facilities, and some info about the school whihc may by of some interest, such as the Planet BSB initiative and The debating club, both of which made into into local newspapers. I have looked at listings for other schools including IBSB in Bucharest, the International British School of Bucharest and I cannot see what is different. Can you please inform me as to which part of the content in particular contravenes your guidelines please so that I can rewrite it. Thank you for your help.

Dorian Aur - Page Removal Hi there, It appears that you feel that the page is very negative towards his person and it is rightfully so. What DORIAN AUR is saying is that he FOUND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Take a moment to ponder about the implications of that. He is not following the proper channels for presenting new discoveries: posting on sites and mailing lists is removing the chance of getting it peer-reviewed and accepted as a regular theoretical finding. Given his position at Stanford, his odd behaviour, his claims and his recent bashing of Christoff Koch, a pillar of the neuroscience community (i.e. see hist latest post from comp-neuro list), he is inflicting serious damage upon the community. The truth about his work and his behaviour must be presented in one form or the other. Thanks, David — Preceding unsigned comment added by Maria4popescu (talkcontribs) 16:18, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

Educating and warning users prior to blocks, notifying users of blocks, talk page access setting edit

I've just come across a user you blocked for {{spamusername}} who had submitted a username change request about half an hour prior to their being blocked (BioAsia (talk · contribs)).

In looking into this, I noticed that you are fairly active in making such blocks, and in a good number of instances these users have not been appropriate counseled about our username policy prior to being blocked (Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Education and warnings). In nearly all instances, you did not leave a notification to the user about why they were blocked, as required by the blocking policy (Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Explanation of blocks).

I also notice that you have restricted talk page access for nearly every one of these blocks. Revoking talk page access is generally reserved for users who are known to abuse their talk page while blocked. (Wikipedia:Blocking policy#Setting block options)

Please review Wikipedia:Blocking policy and make the necessary adjustments. Let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, –xenotalk 13:40, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion way too fast edit

Hi, I just logged in and I see you speedy-deleted the page laboratory phonology that I created based on claims of copyright infringement, before I even had a chance to see what is going on. It took me awhile to create this page, and when I did so, it did not have any text from the infringing page on www.museumstuff.com -- I haven't even heard of this page. Speedy-deletion like this is hostile and uncalled-for -- I can't even see the former text that I wrote and correct it by removing whatever offending text was added. The world is not going to come to an end if you wait more than a few hours and don't act so precipitously, so that people like me can actually fix the page. Note also section G12 of WP:Speedy deletion, which says the following:

Only if the history is unsalvageably corrupted should it be deleted in its entirety; earlier versions without infringement should be retained.

Since the history was certainly not "unsalvageably corrupted" in this case, you should definitely not have speedy-deleted it. Please undelete this page, thanks. Benwing (talk) 04:22, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

BTW I looked at the supposed source of the copyvio -- [2] -- and it doesn't even have any text to speak of on it, so I don't see how anything could have been added to the WP article that's a copyvio. Benwing (talk) 04:32, 8 September 2011 (UTC)

Sri lanka Armed forces Conduct during war edit

Hi Lectonar,

You recently deleted this article under G12, and then promptly restored it. I'm hazarding a guess that this restoration was because the cited webpage was not the original source of the material. I've since inserted the correct original source of the copyvio into the speedy deletion template.

If you restored the article for other reasons, fair enough.

Cheers, Yunshui (talk) 12:58, 19 September 2011 (UTC)


Kapitein Yannick edit

Thanks for your email. I don't think restoring the page will be necessary. Regardless of how clear a hoax it is, I don't think the page would have survived very long anyway: there was no assertion that the fictional universe this character belonged to meets WP:NBOOKS. However, I believe that whenever a character is declared fictional in an article, "truth" is whatever is in the creator's mind even when it defies common sense, and that's why I was careful not to declare the whole thing a hoax. See Neo (The Matrix). -- Blanchardb -MeMyEarsMyMouth- timed 00:16, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
