User talk deletion

(Re: the above post: yes, I suppose I must have just had a crazy impulse.) Hi, Enochlau. Deleting Sumple's userpage on user request is fine, of course, but we're not supposed to delete user talk pages. See the policy here. They're kept for the sake of the history, and on the consideration that most users who storm out in anger return after a while, and in justice to other contributors. Blanking the page is not a problem, but the history isn't supposed to be made to disappear. I've recreated it. Regards, Bishonen | talk 17:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC).

ok. enochlau (talk) 01:58, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

"Image:Adam Keller.jpg"

I couldn't quite follow on why you removed the free fair use image of Adam Keller Here. It's a rather good picture and free for fair use also. (i'm watching your page, so you can reply here). Jaakobou 12:51, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Judging by my deletion comment, it appears that the image was deleted on the English Wikipedia in April because a duplicate was found on the Commons, and at that time, such a duplicate existed. Recently, the Commons copy was deleted: see this. You'll have to ask the Commons people. (But if you say it's fair use, then it must not be on the Commons. Fair use images must be hosted locally on the English Wikipedia and must be accompanied by fair use rationale.) enochlau (talk) 13:33, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

i don't believe people are allowed to use it for commercial proffit, i think it's only fair use, and humbly request you undelete the image... and if possible return the article to the way it was before deletion... yeah, i'm a nag. Jaakobou 23:29, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

Afraid of Monsters

I did some research, will this be sufficient for the web notability criteria:

== Notability ==

=== Non-trivial published works ===

• Planet Half-Life
• Planet Phillip

=== Well-known and independent award ===

• Singleplayer Mod of the Year, ModDB 2006 Editor's Choice
• Adventure Mod of the Year, ModDB 2006 Player's Choice

=== Distribution via a well known and independent source ===

• eXp.de, a German gaming magazine, online
• Krawall Gaming Network, another German gaming magazine, online
• Romanian PC Games magazine, DVD

(I prefer a reply here rather than on my user talk page.) --Pizzahut2 18:47, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

The other problem is that it has undergone the deletion process: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Afraid of Monsters, which means that it can be speedily deleted under {{db-repost}}. I suggest you take this matter to WP:DRV. enochlau (talk) 01:25, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Afraid of Monsters. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Pizzahut2 10:57, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

image talk deletion

I noticed you deleted at least two images without deleting their talk pages. I've marked the ones I found with {{db-talk}}, but wanted to let you know for next time, and in case there are others. Ingrid 02:59, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Ubisoft

I just noticed that you deleted an image used on My Word Coach a few days ago. You should look at Template:Ubisoft-screenshot. --MaXiMiUS 23:13, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

What is Forking and why was it given as a reason for deleting my page?

A friend came to me and noticed that my page had been deleted. The reason was "Forking" not sure what that is. Please explain. I wrote the article and posted an original photo.

Which page and which photo? enochlau (talk) 12:02, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Question about meaning of {db-blanked}

Hi, our wiki submission for imemories was deleted on May 31 and I tried to search for the meaning of db-blanked, but couldn't find it. If you could shed light on this, that would help us better re-calibrate the submission so it fits the guidelines. Thanks!

It means the page was found to be blanked by the author. The meaning of these deletion codes can be found on WP:CSD. enochlau (talk) 16:31, 8 June 2007 (UTC)

Nonsense?

How was this nonsense? List of national reptiles Wikipedia:Patent nonsense?

I'm sure there could be such an article written, but the contents of the article were just nonsense. enochlau (talk) 02:45, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

Non notable band

I flagged a page for speedy deletion and you were the administrator who deleted it:

06:19, 10 June 2007 Enochlau (Talk | contribs) deleted "BEST'ija"  (nn band)

However the page was recreated, and whoever recreated it did so with the CSD tag in place, and then put a hangon tag there. Just thought i should bring it to your attention. Rockerbaby 10:32, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. It's been zapped again already. enochlau (talk) 10:38, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Lady Rataxes

Hi. May you please tell me why the article Lady Rataxes was deleted? Thanks, --Taddybear500 16:34, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

It was deleted for being nonsense under WP:CSD. If you wish to contest the deletion, go to WP:DRV. enochlau (talk) 17:04, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Gavin Brown (academic)

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Gavin Brown (academic), by ExtraDry (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Gavin Brown (academic) seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Gavin Brown (academic), please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Gavin Brown (academic) itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:34, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Marvin Bernard

Hi there,

An article (Marvin Bernard) was deleted by you in June 2006. I had no part in creating the article but I was just wondering why it was deleted; I wish to create an article on Marvin, as he is a highly notable former Major League Baseball player. Thanks--Thomas.macmillan 03:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Go ahead and create it. I deleted the article because it was blanked - a housekeeping operation. enochlau (talk) 04:21, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Sumple

Thanks--that's not good for Shanghainese-related articles, I'm afraid, as he was the only editor fluent in that language. Badagnani 07:42, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Australian Mother of the Year Award

Are you in a position to block unregs & newbies from editing this article? See vandalism by 203.220.107.205 at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Mother_of_the_Year_Award&oldid=138972432 and 134.148.5.118 at http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Australian_Mother_of_the_Year_Award&oldid=136482164

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 04:20, 20 June 2007 (UTC))

I don't mean to bandy words with you, but the thing is the vandalism is of a particularly unpleasant kind and could leave Wp open to defamation action or whatever (IANAL) Albatross2147 05:00, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 10:13, 20 June 2007 (UTC))

Ok then but I would have thought that the vandalism on 19th June was recent enough. But there you go. Albatross2147 05:28, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

You deleted my Image:Sulphur Springs Tower at Night 004.jpg -- Why?

I did have it licensed. I took the picture just for Wikipedia. I uploaded it. Don't delete it again, please

BRoys 01:38, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

It wasn't correctly tagged. Just make sure that you selected the correct license from the drop down box when uploading and all should be fine. enochlau (talk) 06:39, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

please undelete our article

dear admin,

you have deleted our article "cdrinfo", why have you done this? please contact me for undelete this.

It was deleted as per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cdrinfo. Since this was a while ago, it may be possible to recreate, as long as you addressed the problems identified in the deletion discussion. In particular, you may wish to consider WP:WEB, WP:NOTE and WP:CITE. enochlau (talk) 20:10, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Janice Vidal

Hi, it's not an issue of rationales. Photo discographies and other gallery uses of fair use images are prohibited per WP:FU. Look under criteria #8. There's additional discussion of the issue over at Wikipedia_talk:Fair_use_rationale_guideline. Thanks. --Butseriouslyfolks 22:13, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

(Replied on user page. enochlau (talk) 22:48, 22 June 2007 (UTC))

you deleted my article

Why you deleted my article Dmitry Lubenskiy (composer) ?

It was a biographical article that contained no assertion of the notability of the subject, and it was therefore deleted as per WP:CSD. You may wish to consult WP:BIO and WP:V. If you wish to dispute the deletion, go to WP:DRV. enochlau (talk) 13:04, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Goldney01.jpg

Hello Enochlau. gfdl presumed; that was the reason when you deleted File:Goldney01.jpg. Please tell me how did you know that image was not GDFL? Thanks.--TheEgyptian 17:07, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

It was not tagged as GFDL, and as an image tagged as GFDL-presumed, which is not allowed anymore, it was deleted. If you have evidence to the contrary that it was GFDL, I am happy to undelete it. enochlau (talk) 22:59, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Image:Polynomialdeg5.png

Hi Enochlau, could you please check your image of the polynomial of degree 5 in Polynomial. It has different real roots so that all 5 roots should be shown in the image, i can only spot 3...

It is correct. If you look at the caption, it has a + term at the end, so the original polynomial with 5 real roots has been shifted up. (The caption is a little cut off because it's so long.) enochlau (talk) 23:20, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Ah, of course, i see it now :-)

Adam Keller Image

could you please explain to me this deletion. you can reply here and not on my page, i'll be watching. Jaakobou 10:45, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

It was deleted from the English Wikipedia, because an identical copy with the same name was found on the Commons. It is now a red link because the image was then subsequently deleted from the Commons for some other reason: see the log. enochlau (talk) 14:59, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

could you please restore the image, it's fair use, but not free license free license talk. Jaakobou 12:08, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

A couple of problems: it's currently not being used in any pages, so the moment I undelete it, it's instantly deletable. Also, I know Arafat is dead, but surely there must be some free alternatives available that will negate the fair use requirements. The best I think I can do is email you the file and you can upload it again at your leisure. enochlau (talk) 12:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

i can find the file, i don't wish to redo all the page information... please revert this, and undelete the image. Jaakobou 17:15, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't believe that there is a policy or guideline which permits or recommends me to undelete this image. The page information is as follows:

== Summary ==
===Summary===
Image of [[PLO]] leader [[Yasser Arafat]] kissing [[Adam Keller]] - 2004

===Image Source===
http://zope.gush-shalom.org/home/he/galleries/gallery_1163325867/mukata_3.jpg/view - gush shalom website.

=== reasoning ===
website publicised image of members who met with Yasser Arafat (in support for his continued leadership and in response to an [[Ariel Sharon]] declaration that Arafat is being considered as a military target<sup>[http://zope.gush-shalom.org/home/he/channels/archive/past_activities/actions_mukata2_heb/](hebrew)</sup>) under no copyright restrictions and with the intention of having it's meterials freely distributed for political agenda promotion.

Image is there for fair use for commentary and/or biography.

== Licensing ==
{{cc-by-sa-2.5}}
{{NowCommons|month=March|day=13|year=2007|1={{{1|Image:Adam Keller.jpg}}}}}

You can use that to recreate the image description page. enochlau (talk) 23:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

Moccasin, Illinois

This page has been entirely screwed up now. The village of Moccasin is suppose to have its own page, while the township of Moccasin is suppose to have another page. I see you were the one who merged or deleted them. Need to change them back. Thanks.--Kranar drogin 13:05, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

I'm a little confused. What do you want me to do? enochlau (talk) 14:57, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

HHO gas

Hi. Can you please undelete Talk:HHO gas? WP:CSD#G8 does not apply. The latest DRV specified that the articles will be kept, but the content merged into Oxyhydrogen.

The talk page was already speedied once. It needs some kind of notice at the top to prevent other admins from mistakenly speedying it in the future. — Omegatron 01:04, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

I'm a little confused though: there's hardly any page history, just a page move:

Page history

    * 02:06, 1 July 2007 . . Jayvdb (Talk | contribs | block) (9 bytes) (now it can go)
    * 02:01, 1 July 2007 . . Jayvdb (Talk | contribs | block) (42 bytes) (moved Talk:HHO gas to User:Jayvdb/HHO gas research)

What is worth keeping about this? enochlau (talk) 02:43, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Oh. I hadn't seen that. It should probably not have been moved to user space. Can it be moved back into the main space and kept undeleted? — Omegatron 03:06, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Note that moving it might be opposed by certain editors, since they really really don't want anything related to these articles on Wikipedia, but the AfD/DRV specified that the content should be kept.

Also note that I could do it, but I'm not going to touch it because of this. Judge for yourself. — Omegatron 03:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Related: Wikipedia_talk:Requests_for_comment/Omegatron#Oxyhydrogen, User_talk:Riana#Deletion_of_Talk:HHO_gas, User_talk:Xoloz#HHO_gas_redux. Sorry for the split-up discussions. — Omegatron 03:29, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Ah. Sorry, but I don't want to touch anything to do with an RfC either :( There doesn't seem to be any particular rush to un-userfy the talk page, so I'll just defer to the judgement of those editors who are more familiar with the issues at hand. enochlau (talk) 15:07, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

NICTA

Hi, sorry for cutting and pasting. I was not aware that such an action is a no-no.

As for NICTA, its current status is "National ICT Australia trading as NICTA", and soon to be just "NICTA". I am a NICTA employee.

OK, I'll make the move. enochlau (talk) 07:14, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Sydney Law School

Actually I think he's right about Samuel Griffith, who got his law training in Queensland. Not so sure about Edmund Barton though. But if he was a barrister in the 1870s, and was very Sydney-centric, where else would he have received his legal education? Kewpid 08:15, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

I think this ought to settle it. Kewpid 08:19, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

AARGH, Mr Griffith is listed on that page too. Well I don't know now :S Kewpid 08:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Ownerless Planet

If you go to Google Book s program and write there "ownerless Planet" you can read entire my book.All readers of world has been reading my book free of charge every day.That is the one of the first environmental novels published which teachs the people for the environment problems. I am an environmentalist and my mission is not to earn money.Please reset my novel. Best regards Akin Tekin
