Username blocks

For usernames that aren't (that) big a deal (i.e. company or promotional names etc.) it's best to uncheck all the boxes in the blocking form, this is called a softblock. However, in circumstances like with disruptive users (who also qualify for a username hardblock), it's obvious there not here for encyclopedic purposes - so in that case leave it as normal (like at AIV) and tick the top two - leaving the email one unchecked, this is called a hardblock. Go on Special:Listusers - type in Rudget - and then see the impersonations, they also qualify for hardblocks :) Rudget. 08:42, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Dude, not cool or necessary. Keeper76 and me are pals and he'll understand the April's fool. Dorftrottel (talk) 12:20, April 1, 2008

Would you mind undoing your revert, because I basically never re-revert to a version of my own unless it's clear-cut vandalism cleanup. Dorftrottel (talk) 12:21, April 1, 2008

Woohoo! Thanks. Dorftrottel (vandalise) 12:26, April 1, 2008

I strongly recommend that you don't block Dorf. Immediately. Vandalism is not not tolerated around here. The bastard. So, you got your mop yesterday, and you don't block? :-) Keeper | 76 | Disclaimer 14:23, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Protection

I've unprotected your talk page. We simply don't protect user talk pages unless there's a very good reason to and not being online isn't one of those. You need to leave your talk page open so people can contact you even when you're not around. Please don't protect it like that again. Regards, Ryan Postlethwaite 22:40, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

IP indef blocks

Hi Cobaltbluetony. IP addresses should virtually never be blocked indefinitely (eg). Please see Wikipedia:Blocking IP addresses. I'm going to adjust some of the indef-blocks you've made today. I would suggest you keep the IP blocks short until you've had some more experience with them. Feel free to ask me anything on my talk page. Thanks. -- zzuuzz ^(talk) 23:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Article Deletion

Hello,

please let me know why you deleted the page on Harbour Pictures, created last Friday? It was created using the pages on similar production companies as reference - e.g. Ecosse, Kudos, Working Title. Since you haven't deleted their entries, why does this one count as advertising?

1541 Ultimate

People agree you should undelete the article and atleast put it up for AfD. Thanks! DeeKay64 (talk) 10:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Please unblock and restore the Adult Stars Magazine article. I'm not really sure why it was deleted and blocked. Thank you Baxter789 —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baxter789 (talk • contribs) 16:49, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Spot On Networks

Hi,
I recieved your deletion message and since you invited me to ask a few questions here they are. The article you deleted was about Spot On Networks, and it was deleted because you felt that it was advertising. Not So. Spot On is not available to the general public, was founded by some of the first wireless communications pioneers, and represents the largest company of its kind in the wi fi field. It is a service that must be offered to the user, you can not sign up for it on your own, therefore I was clearly not advertising. I was however hoping to create several articles, on things such as the founders of SON who helped to create the wireless industry in the US, as well as the article about wi-fi internet telephones which SON helped develop. Most of the founders of SON have been featured in the book Wireless Nation, and I wished to add/create that article as well. I noticed that there are articles about apple computer, t mobile, microsoft, etc. why is it that those articles which are about companies that clearly sell to the general public are allowed while my article about a service available by invite only and founded by tecnology pioneers just like bill gates and steve jobs is immediately deleted as advertising? SON may be a small company but their role in past, present, and future wi-fi technology advancements is important. Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lazaruslong4272 (talk • contribs) 13:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Bill Cunningham Article

Sorry, I was in the middle of editing the article. Cunningham is running again in 2008, and has held a series of top party positions in the Liberals. He is a big name in Canadian politics, whihc would be clear once i complete the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MinistryofTruth85 (talk • contribs) 20:54, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

adminship

Congratulations! Here are some words of wisdom I received from the puppy upon my promotion:

Remember you will always protect the wrong version. Remember you must always follow the rules, except for when you ignore them. You will always pick the wrong one to do. (See #5) Remember to assume good faith and not bite. Remember that when you are applying these principles most diligently, you are probably dealing with a troll. Use the block ability sparingly. Enjoy the insults you receive when you do block. Remember when you make these errors, someone will be more than happy to point them out to you in dazzling clarity and descriptive terminology. and finally, Remember to contact me if you ever need assistance, and I will do what I am able.

Thanks for the info

Thanks for your quick response to my comment/question. I didnt realize about making the article that way and not putting it into the gen pop till it was completed ie properly cited. Sorry about that. I will take your advice and complete the article in that fashion and properly cite it. Thank you for your advice/time and I look forward to becoming a contributing member here on wikipedia.

Polish composers update

Hello,

Thank you for your answer. I'm reading wikipedia for many years, but decided to start helping just now. I'm sorry for that little overlook with tagging minor changes as major (I will remember about edit etiquette). I'm offering knowledge-support about polish composers, since I'm interested in such subject matter for many years. I'll be filling all references and sources continuously, just give me some time for good citations and the rest.

Kind regards, Tomasz. TomaszMilczewski (talk) 16:11, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Tracy Price-Thompson

Tony, thanks for restoring that article, but did you read my comment in the deletion review page? The books already listed in the article fulfill WP:BIO for notability, you guys just aren't following the ISBN links to see that her books are in hundreds of libraries. The article doesn't need anything more, it's notable as-is. If someone will actually respond to the things I'm saying, and they really disagree that WP:BIO is fulfilled, I'll do more research, but I've put a good bit in already.--❨Ṩtruthious ℬandersnatch❩ 19:17, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

ISAR page

Hi Tony,

I just wanted to follow up on the status of the ISAR page. I had previously posted that under the user name unctad75802. As per your suggestions: I have created a new page in the temp folder which does not run foul of the copyright rules, and I have also created a new user name. Hoof Hearted indicated earlier that the copyright warning page would be removed soon and replaced with the page I created in the temp folder. So far, the warning page is still there. I just wanted to check with you to get an update on the status of this. Thanks for your help. --Mole31 (talk) 09:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

HighwallMining

I saw that you added some problem tags to the above. On reading it and the external links within the body of the article, I think it's thinly veiled spam, advertising Terexx SHM so I am Afd'ing it. – ukexpat (talk) 17:41, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

As you will see below, I have now Afd'd it. May need your help though -- you were doing the move just as I was doing the Afd - I think I have edited the Afd itself and the Afd log so they all point to the moved article, but would you please double check?

AfD nomination of Highwall mining

I have nominated Highwall mining, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Highwall mining.

Thank you for your time. ukexpat (talk) 17:43, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Removal of iSenso Limited

Right, here we go again.

The page is removed before any content is added to it. There's a brief summary of what the page is about and I have specifically put on there, "THIS IS BEING EDITED" so you people don't delete it before it's written. I now find that another time, it has been removed.

Reinstate the iSenso Limited page as it is blatantly NOT advertising. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 20:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Please visit UKWDA web site and then tell me I am advertising the web site. It is an independent body of web designers in the United Kingdom.

John Nelson (Methodist Preacher)

You have just deleted John Nelson Methodist Preacher. I copied this from my own website as I want the information on Wikipedia rather than my own website which I will then delete. I am not breaching copyright as it is my own work anyway. Could you restore it? It will all be fully referenced. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Holmfirth lass (talk • contribs) 21:34, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

iSenso Ltd

I would suggest you stop marking every edit for deletion. There is genuine reference to iSenso Ltd as written in the article.

I would also suggest you read articles before trying to control the information that other people can see. Wikipedia is just as much everybody elses as it is yours. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 22:09, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

As people have said to you before - controlling everybody else's posts only discourages people from editing Wikipedia, which goes completely against what it stands for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Leighbe (talk • contribs) 22:13, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Nightly blanking

Out of curiosity, why are you blanking your talk page when you're off-wiki? How do you expect people to respond to existing threads? Doctorfluffy (talk) 00:49, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't noting that your talk page was blank - I was noting that you intentionally blank it every evening only to restore and refactor it the next morning. Further, I don't see what's odd about my comment. My talk page is nearly empty at the moment because, like you, I archive old conversations to reduce clutter and facilitate easy communication with other users. Blanking and restoring on a daily basis is quite different and appears to me to have the opposite effect. I see no advantages to it and several disadvantages - obscuring open conversations and confusing those who may wish add a comment to them, forcing users to delve into the page history even for recent dialogs, and creating an unnecessarily tedious morning routine for yourself.

Anyway, why reinvent the wheel? Why don't you just use Template:User status or something similar if you feel it's important for others to know when you're offline? Doctorfluffy (talk) 07:04, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

PriorSmart

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article PriorSmart, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of PriorSmart.

Article Deletion Criteria / Review Standards / Fairness, etc.

Scottwrites (talk) 21:39, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hello,

I'm curious as to why you deleted an article I recently tried to put up. Upon submitting it, I immediately went to edit a typo I'd noticed. But the article had already been deleted. This seems to me as if it was automatic. Which is at the very least, kind of odd as I can't imagine what criteria would have been used for that.

The article is about a new vertical market search engine. (Of which several are listed under Vertical search and most of which have their own entries as well. ) The company is well represented in the tech press, has in the millions of users, and is using novel approaches worthy of note to approach a particular vertical search category.

While I've written or contributed to several articles over the years, this is the first time I've seen what appears to be such an arbitrary, (and possibly automated), action.

Hopefully upon review you will agree and remove whatever block is on the article such that I can finish editing it. (Basically, I need to finish putting in the ref info.)

Thanks, Scott

Advertising? How?

Hi, You've deleted my article, saying its blatent advertising - but the Centurion (Novel) page is about a book, but there wasn't any description, so thats what I entered. I put the description word for word off the books cover, and some comments from famous papers (from the cover again). I've got nothing to do with anyone involved with this book, I just finished reading the series recently and thought it was a shame nobody bothered to put a synopsis on Wikipedia. Can you put my page back on, please?

Thanks, Jack. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsy05 (talk • contribs) 14:21, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

No I shouldnt have to, its a description of the book on the right page. Just put it back up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsy05 (talk • contribs) 14:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

It is a description, its the summary of the book taken from the cover (and not a copy paste) - I typed it all out myself so I dont appreciate it being deleted the second it gets posted. It was supposed to give people some information on the series (rather than a blank page) and somebody has done exactly the same with the third book, When the Eagle Hunts (fair enough they put in some extra stuff because they probably know how to use it more than I do. This was my first input)

So yeah, put my post back up. Nothing wrong with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rigsy05 (talk • contribs) 14:39, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Bestival 2008

Thanks for the message about the above. This is a tricky one -- the fact that it's a future event may make it fall foul of WP:CRYSTAL and, as it is, it does read like a press release or event announcement. At least with the previous years' events (Bestival 2007 for example) they have happened and may be notable enough for inclusion (though that one still needs some work). I am not aware of a consensus on this kind of thing, but that doesn't mean much - I am finding new stuff here all the time. Is there an admin only forum where you could discuss? If not then I guess an Afd nomination would be a way to get consensus, making it clear in the nomination that that was the intention. BTW, did you report the user responsible for the comments immediately above? So, how goes it with the mop so far?  – ukexpat (talk) 16:18, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Of course I meant User:Rigsy05 not User:Jet, must have been an intervening post. I have no idea about the deletion of all iterations of a user page. That would certainly be something to raise on an admin board. I will also keep a note of that question -- would be a good one to ask at an Rfa! (not mine though should I ever seek a mop!). – ukexpat (talk) 16:54, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I am afraid in the UK "sod" has a different usage from that in the US. We refer to the stuff you lay in your yard (garden) as "turf". "Sod" has its roots (as it were and pardon the pun) in sodomy, so calling someone a "sod" or telling them to "sod off" is a little impolite! – ukexpat (talk) 17:07, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Bestival 2008

I left my views on the matter on Talk:Bestival 2008. In short, I pretty much agree with you it probably doesn't warrant its own article right now, but I'll give the user ample time to respond to see what they think. If all else fails, we could always initiate a request for comment to show the user there is consensus on matters such as this. Cheers! Redfarmer (talk) 16:31, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Request for unprotection of "Cvent"

Hello,

This post is in regards to your recent deletion and subsequent protection of an entry on “Cvent” due to repeat advertising. I would like to request that the page be unprotected. The former entry was not intended to be an advertisement for the company, nor any kind of means to garner publicity, attention, etc. that would clearly abuse the content policies at Wikipedia, but was rather a response, perhaps made in haste, to some false statements about the organization on the web. It was merely an attempt to clear up any confusion. As I said, perhaps the former entry was made too quickly, but now after spending time researching third-party sources on the topic, I believe a clearer, neutral entry could be made on a company that has made a notable presence in its market.

Cvent is well-known in the meetings and events industry and has been in business for 8 years. The term Cvent receives over 20,000 queries per month on Google. Part of the reason is that Cvent conducts 400 events in 100 cities across the U.S., Canada, UK and Australia, meeting in person with over 30,000 meeting and event planners per year. Cvent received $17 million in VC funding in 1999, and it is a profitable company with 10,000 clients world wide and 350+ employees. Cvent’s event management software is used to manage 100,000 events and surveys per year by well-known corporations, associations, education groups and non-profits. There are many people who are simply curious when they hear the name Cvent and I think it would be a worthwhile listing, as many other organizations with similar notable characteristics in their respective markets are included in Wikipedia.

I look forward to your thoughts and reconsideration of the entry. Thank you.

Page Deletion - Second Price

I am a concerned citizen writing about a phenomenon that is happening in society. People are being tricked by second prices that companies like Cable Co. are throwing at people to hook them and then blast them with a higher price that in this economy is hard to afford. I want people to know about the thing companies call the "Second Price". I have enjoyed how EMBARQ, a publicly traded telecom company, has personified the Second Price that so many customers fall victim to. I am not advertising but merely informing the public. Isn't that what this is all about? Wikipedia is an information network where you share with the world information in the world that you feel is readable. I would like to specifically ask what about my article did you feel was an advertisement? I was working on putting up images and references when you so quickly deleted my page. I have attached some of my references here for you to read over: http://www.businessweek.com/investor/content/oct2007/pi20071010_242433.htm - 2nd paragraph under Cable is likely to grab more telephony share: “This low-hanging fruit consists of customers who just plain dislike their local telephone company as well as people who want to take advantage of cable telephony's attractive introductory prices. However, those introductory prices are often just that, and they may rise significantly after a year.”

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/tech/news/5637437.html - Take a look at the last paragraph in the first section.

www.newsvine.com/_news/2008/01/25/1261064-cable-tv-king-of-misleading-come-ons - Introductory price “teaser” offers, with their fleeting discounts and unpredictable… Please let me know the reasoning behind the deletion and any pointers as to how I can make this page work. I want to become more active on this network and would love some pointers from an administrator.

Page Deletion - Second Price

I read the first blue link (which by the way, I do not need you to define what it is or does...let's try to keep polite as the talk guidelines plainly state on your very page). My entry is not about a company it is about Second price, the price you end up paying for services after tricky companies hook you with an introductory price which has a fine print stipulation where it is only good for 3-12 months. So please explain how the Wikipedia's Notability Criteria (organizations and companies) applies to my article. It is not discussing a company or an organization except to use as an example of an advertisement which uses the concept of Second Price and personafies it. I do not agree with your justification for page deletion. Please advise. Thanks again for your time.

Curious as to deletion of my article?

Hello, I am just wondering why you deleted my article before I even had a chance to publish it? It said "(A7 (bio): Real person; doesn't indicate importance/significance)" when he is clearly a significant person. He has led his track and XC teams to many state and national titles, been recognized as the best runner in his country in his heyday, been featured as National Coach of the Year once, as well as garnering the same award by a magazine. Clearly you seem to be on some sort of power trip, deleting someone who is, yes, close to me, but is also significant in the Cross Country world. I don't see you deleting articles about old coaches or old players, so why now with me?

Webometrics Ranking of Canadian Universities

A tag has been placed on Webometrics Ranking of Canadian Universities, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

This user and an IP that I suspect is the same person keep adding the same spammy text to the article, as well as a long list of every song that this group has ever worked on.

Haha, it didn't sound rhetorical, my fault. I think it was the right call, though; that account had only contributed to that article, and was obviously meant for promotion. In any case, I'm not 100% sure about the article being a hoax. I know at least that one thing was legit: Jimi Kendrix really did win an ASCAP award; here is the page that they cited. GlassCobra 18:17, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

As you know, you've deleted my entry (Toronto Pilipino Adventist Company), for blatant advertising and I would like to ask what in particular felt like advertising.

This was an entry about a church. The first and only ontario adventist church to worship in the Philippines' National language and the first to broadcast sermons in that language on the web... our denomination calls us a "company" because we are still small in number, but I can assure you this is a spiritual organization under the seventh-day adventist denomination.

If you have specific passages that you feel were biaised and sounded like advertising, I'd be more than happy to change them.

Little Wars (film)

Little Wars is Maroun Baghdadi's first feature film.
Info about Maroun Baghdadi on variety.com
"BEIRUT, Lebanon -- Franco-Lebanese movie director Maroun Baghdadi, noted for his vivid portrayal of Lebanon's civil war, died Friday in Beirut. He was 43 . Police and radio reports said he plunged down an elevator shaft when the doors opened prematurely, but had no explanation for the malfunction. Baghdadi was internationally the best-known Lebanese filmmaker of his generation. He worked with American producer/director Francis Coppola and made several films in French that became hits in France. He won a Jury Prize at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival for "Hors la Vie" (Out of Life). Baghdadi is survived by his wife, a son and a daughter."

Del Vecchio (guitar maker) deletion: will track down notability info

Okay, I read through the speedy deletion article, and see that I apparently need to have all the external references in place before posting an article about a person/organization, so I'll go track down some references about Chet Atkins' use of the DV, the originality of the "Dinamico" resonator cone etc (from reputable published sources) and will then re-post. It's slightly vexing that it's essentially impossible to run a person/org stub and wait for folks to start plugging in references, but I suppose it prevents a wave of person/org stubs that will never be referenced.

Hi

You deleted my Salvo D'Acquisto article, the same article which I translated word for word from the Italian wiki. As to the notability of said person there ought to be no question; here is the paragraph from the carabinieri article which is relevant. Note in particular that I did not add that text; that I had never edited the carabinieri article, in fact:

The Carabinieri are particularly proud of the memory of Brigadier Salvo D'Acquisto, who was executed by the Nazis in Palidoro, near Rome, in World War II, having exchanged his life for the lives of innocent citizens due to be executed in retaliation for the murder of a German soldier. Brigadier D'Acquisto falsely claimed responsibility and was shot for the offence.

His notability is that he has gained international renown for his beautiful illustrations, which originally created for children's books have gained a wide following around the world by people of many ages. His work, in a niche area of illustration, has brought a great deal of joy to many people and has gained respect amongst leading charities in England, as well as movie and television stars for his tireless work. In conclusion, his limited edition work has become highly-sought after and collectable.

eyeOS artcile speedy deletion

You have deleted the page of the eyeOS project, a Free OpenSource widely used software.

There are hundred or thousands publications where eyeOS appears, for example:

Etc etc etc...

to be more practical, take a look at:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=eyeOS&btnG=Google+Search

Results 1 - 10 of about 470,000 for eyeOS. (0.27 seconds)

And is a finalist of the webware 100 conquest

fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/EyeOS

no.wikipedia.org/wiki/EyeOS

pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/EyeOS

hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/EyeOS

Additionally, the project have a category in the OpenDesktop ( http://www.opendesktop.org/ ) project here:

http://eyeos-apps.org/

where hundred of people send his eyeOS-based applications.

And in addition to this, the project have his own category in softpedia:

http://linux.softpedia.com/get/Internet/eyeOS-Apps/

In addition to this, the reason od the speedy deletion, was G11 (blatant advertising) but the article has parts like:

Criticism

Despite having great support from community, eyeOS also criticize for some reasons. One of them is lack of administration features such as new users don't need to activate their account after registration. It core design also make it difficult to make a good application. Another drawback is users can't drag and drop files from one folder to another.Lack of serious applications make eyeOS more a toy than a true operating system.

So, i think that is evident that this software project is widely known, that the wikipedia article english and the other wikipedia languages is maintained by the community users of this project (like me) and the article about eyeOS was not an advertising, because it have some paragraphs about criticism of the product, and the article has a technical point of view.

If someone that is not Admin want to see the article, you can see the article in the google cache here:

Twing Article Deletion Question

You recently deleted an article on Twing. In the discussion, there seemed to be some valid reasons for considering such an action. However, I thought I had addressed them, and posted the reasoning in the article's talk page. The talk page was deleted as well, but I saved a copy and I'll put that info in below, since it's unclear as to where as to do so other than . The thing is, the talk page addressed the issues of concern and there didn't seem to be any further discussion or reasoning behind deletion taking such things into account. It's possible this information wasn't considered. I'd intentionally put it in the talk page as I thought I was following instructions saying not to edit the discussion page, and it's premature to head for Wikipedia:Deletion review since there was no real discussion. In fact, the whole process is a bit over complicated, but it is what it is I suppose. In any case, I'll put the defense info below. If it's not accepted, what that tells me is that there's a fair amount or arbitrary application of the rules and I should instead suggest a bunch of other articles for deletion that seem to be much more in violation of the same rule sets you described for Twing.

Original defense.

• Re: the Links concern: I have updated them to link properly.

• Re: References Concern

+ The references concerning search engine theory, (for example Pirolli's book), mention hardly any particular engines. And are even light on examples of specific practical academic projects. They focus on the math. They're just theory for the most part; of which Twing is merely an illustration. But a reader curious as to the underpinnings of the theory behind the product's technology might be interested in this depth. In fact, it's what's notable about Twing. That it's attempting to use these concepts.

• Notability: I've added links to articles from reputable sources indicating that others of note see this as valuable new stuff. Ironically, I'd left such links out as I'd thought them to be overly commercial as I want to focus on the theory/science, etc. and when I have time would like to add more in that regard. The reason it's notable is because it's the only specialty search going across this content vertical using this kind of advanced filtering. Not only tons of value from a marketing/user perspective, but an example of how to use advanced filtering technology to disambiguate search results in social media spaces. That is the part that's interesting.
  • Notability here is reference to Wikipedia's notability criteria for web content and Wikipedia's notability criteria for organizations and companies. It's not as widely subjective as is inferred above. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 15:31, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

• Commercial/General Concerns/Fairness: Obviously, this is a commercial product. But it's not just a mashup of someone else's search fodder. The product is applying new concepts and new technology in original ways across an often ignored online social space. When one looks at some of the "me too" listings in List_of_search_engines, it would be all but unconscionable that something new like Twing.com wouldn't make the cut without seriously re-working that entire area as well.

• Actually, the Vertical search article needs a ton of work, and I hope to get to that as well. (It's focused primarily on business vertical - which has value - but doesn't really break down the differences in vertical.) But... that's another article for another time.

Whoops, I created CFL because I saw it existed yesterday but then I noticed you deleted it. It looks like it's been deleted several times but always ended up as a redirect; is it going to be something new this time? Gary King (talk) 17:25, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Okay I redirected it to CFL (disambiguation) which I would imagine was the intent of the person who requested it. Gary King (talk) 17:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Anastasis Michael

Hi. I wonder, when you deleted Anastasis Michael with A7 did you check the deltion log or not? The article was undeleted and in less that 20 minutes you speedy delete it again. Please read the discusion in here: User talk:Seicer and note that the article is not orphan bt in fact is linked by 3 or 4 other articles. Thanks, 18:28, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for undeleting the article. I already voted. Sorry for the trouble.

Deletion Review for Anastasis Michael

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Anastasis Michael. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article, speedy-deleted it, or were otherwise interested in the article, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Magioladitis (talk) 18:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

• Due to the GFDL, it is essentially never acceptable to restore only one version of an article; as you did here ; you normally need to restore all of them since creation (or recreation if created one or more times). (Sometimes, as with articles that have copyright troubles or attack issues in the history, selective restoration may be needed.) GRBerry 13:36, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Speedy delete request for CFL

Speedy deletion had been requested for CFL due to the outcome of a recent requested move. The consensus appears to be the disambiguation page should be located at CFL as Canadian Football League is no longer the primary topic. Earlier in the day, the request for speedy deletion was completed, but the redirect was recreated while I was, ironically, out to lunch. JPG-GR (talk) 18:50, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, Tony. Regarding this article: I get no relevant Google hits on this name whatsoever. The thing is likely a hoax.

I can't find any reliable sources for this person as far as notability goes. I placed an inuse tag on the article in order to help the author (who is ae harder) but, for some reason that I didn't see stated that was removed. I've run google over her and can't find anything. Isn't a holdon tag supposed to be placed on the article without removing the speedy tag or have I misunderstood that? Did I just use the wrong tag? Or is it simply a case of taking it to AfD?

Hi, I don't mean to be rude if I come off that way but I don't understand why my article (Marshmallow Fluff), which is still underconstruction, keeps getting redirected to "Marhsmallow Creme" which by reading it I don't understand how the article merits to stay on wikipedia though it does not show much notability and it's tone seems biased towards the product.

Apatia

A question. Why did you remove the article on punk rock band Apatia, without discussing it? The fact that it does not seem notable to you is not enough. Apatia has been active for 18 years, they have played hundreds of concerts across Europe and recorded 10 LPs. In Poland they are as famous as Dead Kenedys in USA. And one more thing - why you did not inform me about deletion? This should not be the way things should be handled on Wiki. Tymek (talk) 19:59, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

No grudges, and thanks for happy editing wishes. Still, I have a remark. How is it possible to happy edit, when your work and time spent on it is deleted with one click of a mouse just because somebody thinks that the topic is not notable enough. I am still thinking that it is not right, surely you do not have to know about such bands as Apatia, but a little courtesy would always be appreciated. Somebody deleted another article of mine, about defunct sports club Gryf Torun, but at least I was informed about it. Greetings. Tymek (talk) 00:27, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion: East Kent Mavericks

Hi, you have just speedy deleted my page regarding the East Kent Mavericks. I was attempting to expand the information pertaining to the British American Football League, and provide information about one of the teams that is actively involved in that competion. I therefore fail to see how it could be considered spam (as there is no page regarding this team and the link on the BAFL page of Wikipedia currently leads to nothing) and the fact the pages about the league, and several other teams are already on Wikipedia.

As such, I am asking if you can please restore the page? In addition, if you are unhappy with the content, can you please advise why the East Kent Mavericks page is not considered Wikipedia material, but other teams in the BAFL are?

Thanks, EKMaverick72 (talk) 15:31, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your response. I can understand your concerns regarding the Username, and this was something I was not previously aware of. In response, I am an individual, and yes I am connected to the team (#72 is my jersey number). Perhaps a solution would be to offer my services in creating pages for the other teams that do not have one. We have a forum for the BAFL league (and I am known by the same username) and could potentially get people from interested teams to send me information. This would enable me to create various pages for other organisations and (hopefully) greatly expand the information about the league, its structure, and the teams that compete in it. Furthermore, if it is deemed necessary, I will change my username, but would rather avoid this at this point. Your advice in how to move forward is appreciated.

I never associated Scarborough with Christian terrorism - that is my whole point. He merely wished to represent a Christian Terrorist - that does not make him one anymore than Cochran is a fellow wife killer. If you think I've assoc Scarborough with CT than every defense lawyer is assoc with their clients' crimes?? Doesn't ring true to me. Would it be wrong to say that "Johnnie defended OJ, later found liable for the death of his wife." I don' think so.

Griffin was a not a lone deluded man (well he may have been deluded). See this articele http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9807E2DC113AF936A35750C0A962958260 He is very much connected with Rescue America a Christian national group.

The man in the NY Times article who is identified as Griffin's teacher, advisor and the local leader of Rescue America: "Mr. Burt, a 55-year-old minister and former member of the Ku Klux Klan...." In the Christian Terrorism article, there is a picture of the KKK burning a cross at the top of the article and there is a section devoted to the KKK within the article. The KKK is one of several Christian terrorist organizations discussed in the article. Kek15 (talk) 17:14, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Deletion on Jet Train and Victory Airlines

Just to use your logic; the article on Skybus Airlines and Pro Air should presumably be deleted as well. They have no value because they do not say why they were significant...

I created the articles on Jet Train and Victory Airways because they are relevant to a market (Pittsburgh) that has seen many airline startups, concepts, and failures in the last fifteen years. In addition, they are demonstrative of a type of company that has its roots in the 1990s era of high priced major airline markets and that grabbed a toehold in the post 9/11 airline industry turmoil (ala Jet Blue and Valujet-known more commonly as Air Tran after its merger). These companies (and others) set the way towards the ultra cheap airfares many travelers enjoy in this decade, therefore I think these articles are relevant.

Hello Tony-

Again, thank you for taking the time to articulate the rationale for the necessary framework within which persons around the world can contribute to such a valuable reference! No doubt, we are all learning how to correspond more effectively within the framework of an open source environment, and despite its shortcomings, I am committed to fostering its success.

It is my understanding that the difference between opening a new account with a new username and following the procedure to "change in username" will transfer all edits to this new username. If so, I will follow your suggestions and :

Add unblock-un|your new username here below (at bottom of Daynal user talk page

Otherwise, I would like to utilize the method you refer to as being used by "experienced editors" that "work on their articles in user space sandboxes, releasing them into the main article space only when they are convinced that it does meet policy", but I would like to know if there is a procedure for inviting the scrutiny of such editors prior to releasing to the main article space.¹ It would seem that this would mitigate the need for negative comments.

In any event, please look over the insertion of unblock-un|your new username here at the bottom of Daynal talk page and let me know if it is in order.

Given ecclesiastical and academic organizations have deep traditions in explicit and tacit forms of censorship, might this be a question best suited for a group of 'editors' not pre-occupied with blocks & deletion? If so, how might these be engaged?

Looking forward,

Rob

Article Submission

Hi, thanks for your help up to this point. I was wondering, is it possible to submit a page to be looked at to see if it meets guidelines. At present, I am unable to do this without the page being deleted. If I could submit it to an individual or organisation, this would then enable to correct any issues without loosing previous work (and the knock-on effect that is done to the user history i suspect). In all, it would also raise the standard of the pages that are added to Wikipedia. I am not attempting this page again (East Kent Mavericks) until I have more reference material, but this could help prevent future misunderstandings. (forgot signature, doh!)

Michael F. Griffin talk page

I am being attacked by an admin (scion?) for adding source material to the talk page. He accused me of violating policy. This feels personal to me at this point. I don't want to engage further. I don't know if you admins have any control over one another; or if you have any advice for me, I'd appreciate it. Kek15 (talk) 14:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you. Kek15 (talk) 16:37, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I also responded on the Griffin talk page. (In real life - got it....thanks)Kek15 (talk) 16:40, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

TheProf

This is unbelievable. This is the guy who brought me into Wikipedia and encouraged me to get an account. He defended me against verbal attacks on the Scarborough talk page and then posted to AN and is now paying the price. Seicer blocked him AFTER he retired. This is wrong. What follows is an excerpt from Seicer's talk page from a couple of days ago.

Just a little note about the whole Griffin & Scarborough content dispute between Kek15 and everybody else. Kek15 is a newbie who is showing potencial. I am completly neutral on the issue with that term and links being used in the articles. I was (and still am) only interested in the consensus. At the moment the consensus is that this term does break wikipedias policy. So i welcome the term not being included in the articles. I was concerned that users (not just you) were assuming bad faith on the part of Kek15, thats why i defended him. I hope we can now put this behind us, as i am meant to be on a wiki-break. I will still try and help mediate the issue, if it comes up again. But i want you to know; We are on the same side! The side of policy, consensus and, most importantly, Wikipedia! Cheers and have a nice day! :-) TheProf - T / C 13:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Any user who decides that going the route of filing an "abuse" complaint against a long-standing and respected administrator at Administrators' Noticeboard instead of seeking consensus through discussion is a negative in my book. While the user may be new, the insertions of potentially libelous statements in violation of policy is always a concern -- and it's always best to play it safe by removing the said comment -- even if it may be so sourced with what is a rather disputed source. Consensus or not, if it is in violation of policy, then it needs to be removed. In addition, I can't find said consensus. seicer | talk | contribs 14:06, 21 April 2008 (UTC) Kek15 (talk) 17:05, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I realize TheProf vandalized his tormentor's user page and this would make it hard to defend him; however I guess a 20-year-old kid can only take so much. His post to the AN was not unfair at all. In that thread I predicted that this sort of abuse by admins would drive away good editors. (He was being tag teamed.) It certainly is taking the joy out of it for me. Wikipedia has lost a good editor and vandalism fighter - the kid had a lot of spirit. He'll probably be back. I may just continue on as a user and skip the editing. Kek15 (talk) 18:07, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Huh...

I must have clicked the wrong tab, or something got FUBARed. Obviously I didn't mean to nominate the page for deletion... sorry... yay for brain farts I suppose! RichardΩ612 Ɣ |ɸ 18:12, April 24, 2008 (UTC)

Tormenta

Tormenta is one of the most famous and played RPG in Brazil, there is articles about it in portuguese wikipedia (here). It is notable in Brazil. Must the subject be notable in USA? --Virtual Avatar (talk) 19:17, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I don' t know how to prove notability. What I have to show is:

• The official Tormenta site (in Portuguese), site created by publisher.
• A fan site
• Holy Avenger series that came from Tormenta RPG.
• A Category in Portuguese for Tormenta with 33 articles.

Children Of Bali

Hi there,

I am the owner of "Children Of Bali" the charity website you deleted. I have created a new account here "ChildrenOfBali" and the email is from Children Of Bali official website. I was using my main Wiki account ilovevancouver before you deleted it. How do I go about undeleting it and creating the page again?

I can post a news article on [4] to prove my ownership if required.

Martin

PS. I do appreciate you looking out for violations regarding our website. This is my first posting in Wikipedia.

Hi again,

I had a quick read of the articles you sent me and I should be able to fulfill them all. I'll do some more research, we are a registered charity, can demonstrate independant secondary sources etc... But I'll read more to make sure.

seconds after creating the page it was deleted (G11). why!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Payam7777777 (talk • contribs) 16:51, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Since G11 is referenced, I'm going to guess that it was blatant advertising. See WP:CSD for details.  Frank  |  talk  16:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

i know it's hard to manage thousands of pages and mistakes can happen and all, but this is just not right. seconds after creating the page (Jeff Hitchcock) it was deleted (G11:Blatant advertising !!!!!). excuse me!?

Sorry for butting in here but you must familiarise yourself with WP:BIO before writing an article which seems quite a blatant plug for its own goods. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

what on earth made you think i was advertising!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Payam7777777 (talk • contribs) 17:01, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

great!

CobaltBlueTony™: "articles with multiple external links imbedded into the text are regarded as advertising."

well, great! so much for the wikipedia. so that's it: external links = advertising . such a pantyhose (one size fits all) judement/solution! just fyi, Jeff Hitchcock who i was trying to introduce is the founder of the awarded best medical website in the world. reconsider your decision for gods sake! without making me read dozens of laws and regulations and policy pages and having to talk online with half a dozen well intended administrators, or omiting the external links. the main link i provided is to a website considered a godsend to hundreds of thousands of parents of children with diabetes. i shall omit other links though. do your research/homework first, THEN press the delete button. i'm just about to give up. send your answer to my talk page please. i was a wikipedia editing virgin until just now an find it a bit too difficult to follow answers elsewhere. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Payam7777777 (talk • contribs) 17:33, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Pseudo-admin Terpterp

You did it right, IMHO. --Orange Mike | Talk 21:00, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Not that either of you asked, but...it looked good to me too. We don't need these types of attitudes around here.  Frank  |  talk  21:03, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Just so you know ... it was obvious from the vandalism (and even the user name) that TerpTerp is a sock of indefblocked Seancarlin84, who likes to hit my user page since I declined his last unblock and protected his (now-deleted) page (oh, and later on I reported him to his ISP). You've already reverted him twice from different accounts ... just so you know for future reference (Given his continuing tendency to make threats, I am thinking of proposing a community ban).

American Leak Detection

Hi, you swiftly deleted my article. What kind of rewrites do you suggest to make it seem less like "blatant advertising"? I have 5 or 6 articles that I have written and am now afraid to post them. I was really trying to write about the company history and where it came from, I also have a few related articles about people related to the American Leak Detection article, one is a baseball player (WhiteSox and the Cardinals) another is the guy who wrote a book with the Rockefeller guy about economics, and a few others that are interesting. The first one was the easiest so it seemed the logical place to start. Help!

Thanks in advance for any advice you might share.

Second request for article to be "un-deleted"

Hi Tony, I understand that you have a regular life and may or may not respond quickly to responses, however I worked pretty hard on that articles and didn't post until I thought it was complete rather than doing a stub, still unsure what makes it an advert so any input would be appreciated, at the very least why this merited an "speedy deletion" and was not put up for discussion with other editors.

Thanks again for your time

Indexing of my user talk page

I posted a reply to TheProf and was just double-checking that he could find my talk page with Google and it did not come up, as do other user talk pages.

My Wiki Page Deletion?

Hey Colbaltbluetony:

I'm curious as to why the page I created was deleted? It seems that you cited Wiki's guidelines, but I think your "opinion" isn't justified. The writer has been recognized by many local newspapers (which I cited and provided reference links) and has held workshops at Barnes and Noble of all places. Please consider uploading the page.

But if I'm incorrect, please tell me clearly where the [facts] to my page deletion lie verses your opinions toward not meeting Wiki's guidelines rest.

Lastly, if my Wiki contribution was worthy of being deleted, please consider DELETING other Wiki's of the same status. Please look into deleting these minor and/or self-published writers on Wikipedia like: "Sophia Ali," "Todd Ames," "Ron Androla," "Jenny Boully," "Sargon Boulus," "Lisa Zaran", and much much more —Preceding unsigned comment added by TheDudeAbides2008 (talk • contribs) 00:16, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Yay, a DYK.

On 27 April, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Philadelphia Lazaretto, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Future Relient K albums.

My article carelessly deleted

You deleted my article "Lifebody Fitness Inc." and accused me of spam which has me near tears. It's my first deleted article. I've been contributing to Wikipedia for over a year and fight vandals almost every day. Obviously you didn't read my user page (I'm with the Business and Economics Wikiproject; I have aspergers, I'm obsessive and love adding businesses and artists and whatever else is interesting), my talk page, or the page history because the other administrative editors didn't delete it. It's a big deal in Portland where I just visited and I established that well. You wrote

"Group/band/club/company/etc; doesn't indicate importance/significance: kinda spammy/peacockyu, too)"

How is it spammy please? And what does PEACOCKYU mean and how is it that? You are supposed to assume good faith. Not only have you not assumed good faith you've outright offended me.

This is a careless deletion from not bothering to look into the article subject or the user. This makes me never ever want to contribute or help edit Wikipedia ever again and I make great articles in addition to being awesome at cleaning up vandalism and non-notable articles. REAL non-notable articles.)

I believe you simply saw that my article had come into quesiton (also WRONGLY as noted by another administrative editor but I'm sure you didn't bother to read about it. [The user had deleted it while it had two sentences as was underconstruction and as I'm sure you know, you're not supposed to delete underconstruction unless a few days have passed. It had been not one minute. See other admin editor comment under my userpage: "I've restored your original version of the page, as it was before it was deleted. You can see it here and see that yes, it was indeed tagged "under construction", not "hangon"." from admin editor --Rlandmann (talk) ]

You have a history of deleting good articles. (These are just a few gathered from this very User talk page) 1) Bill Cunningham: Wrongly deleted by you and back up on Wikipedia
2) Harbour Pictures: Wrongly deleted by you and back up on Wikipedia
3) Tracy Price-Thompson: Wrongly deleted by you and back up on Wikipedia
4) Tormenta: Wrongly deleted by you and back up on Wikipedia
5) Ed Spengler: Wrongly deleted by you and back up on Wikipedia
6) Joe Scarborough: Wrongly deleted by you and back up on Wikipedia
7) East Kent Mavericks: Wrongly deleted by you and back up on Wikipedia

I'm not some kid messing around on Wikipedia, I dedicate a lot of time, thought, and love into this. I am sorry about the curtness of this but you have no clue how broken-hearted I am at being called SPAMMY and whatever else you called me (and then that you didn't even bother to spell the insult correctly! -Still please explain what that means by the way.) Please revert my edit and take away the insults. It's 3am and I can't sleep over this. Drewhamilton (talk) 06:54, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. I noticed you recently edited/ reverted yourself on this article's AfD discussion page. Would you mind taking a look at the article itself and weighing in here?

Thank you for rational response

Thank you for the kind, patient, level-headed response. You are probably right about the notability of the place, my objectivity may have been skewed by hearing about it and being impressed with it in person. You are also right about getting too emotional over an article but I do love Wikipedia. (Someday when I'm ready I'd like to become an admin editor too. I am not ready yet.) I'm sorry I addressed your deletions that were then reverted. You're right, you're only human, as am I. BUT "Spammy" and "peacock terms" (I looked it up) make me look like a vandal so please just edit the comments you put in when you deleted the article because I don't want people to think that's what I am. Thanks so much. Drewhamilton (talk) 19:21, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

I believe you are mistaken regarding your alleged "blatant copywrite infringment" reason for your Speedy Deletion of the page Tagged {{hangon}}.

• (1) The quote, of two (2) sentences (especialy regarding an organization's purpose} is never a copyright infringement in the United States. Neither is it a violation to give a List of awardees.

Block reason

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that this is probably not the best explanation for a block, it kind of defies the whole principle of WP:DFTT. Leaving that type of a comment is sure to make them want to come back and vandalize again, also you are aware that shared IP's (per definition) really are not able to be a vandal-only account, right? While there has been far worse reasons given for blocks by other admins before, I thought I would just give you a heads up. Cheers, Tiptoety ^talk 22:32, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
