Vault 2 Fiasco
I'm really sorry if that Vault 2 AfD caused any trouble. Twinkle has been acting weird for some time now and I've submitted a bug report, but the problem is not fixed yet. That was crazy! I tried to AfD it, and it seems that while Twinkle was taking long, and admin deleted it and I recreated it. Again, I'm sorry.Cssiitcic (talk) 00:57, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: DisabilityInfo.gov
I just went through my browser history, to no avail. No idea what name the article was created under. I can say it was by an IP who may have at one stage edited Web portal#Government web portals.
I asked Jimbo for help because he has an interest in our coverage of the US government, but feel free to take up the request. Ottre 13:12, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletion review for Esben Ertzeid
- An editor has asked for a deletion review of Esben Ertzeid. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedy-deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. Lampman (talk) 15:38, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, you deleted an expired WP:PROD of Esben Ertzeid which has now been brought up in this DRV. If you object to recreating the page as a contested Prod, please feel free to take part in the discussion. Cheers, Usrnme h8er (talk · contribs) 15:40, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello
Hi, I signed up to ask you (Malcolmx15) a question... you deleted an article about "Nhi Le Records" and I didn't know that the stuff was there until today. could you please send me the text or content of last modified page before you delete it as well as the user that wrote it? Or at the very least when was its last modified date before you delete it? Please? It is important.
Thank you.

Vandal at large
Hi there MALCOLM, VASCO here,
Just noticed you reverted an action in this article (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fary_Faye&action=history) and, in your edit summary, you stated the links were not to be removed as they were the only reference providers.
The guy who did that, SVZ08, well, that's a long story, here's something to help you understand (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Pararubbas/Archive).
Keep up the good work, i'm off to WP/ANI to report this,

Gabriel Bots
I' m looking for a site - Gabriel Bots - Here stays: "This page has been deleted. 18:35, 21 February 2009 Malcolmxl5 (Talk | contribs)".
Why did you deleted, - how dare you deleted ????? Who are you ?
You must renew it !
Lola—Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.164.91.15 (talk) 08:11, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Lola, thanks for your message. An editor reviewed the article Gabriel Bots and proposed it for deletion as it did not seem to him/her that it met the guidelines for an article in the encyclopedia. After five days, I reviewed this; no one had objected, the rationale seemed to be sound and I deleted it in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. In particular, the article said only that he is a pianist and composer, he was born in Hungary, he moved to Scandinavia, and that he played in different bands in Europe. It did not indicate how Bots is of significance or importance or how he warrants an article in the encyclopedia per the guidelines at WP:MUSIC. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:09, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

regarding your edit
Hello, on your recent edit to List of Shopping malls in India, the mall you listed is linked to the wikipedia page of Infiniti the car maker, please either remove the link, or fix so that it directs to the actual shopping center. thank you. Cashjrmy (talk) 15:25, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hmmm, I added Ambi Mall[5], which seems to me to be a mall. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 15:36, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- P.S. I have declined your second speedy as shopping malls are not eligible for speedy deletion. I suggest that you either improve the article or now list it at WP:AfD. --Malcolmxl5 (talk)
Didier Bonvitesse
Hi, i tried to add Didier Bonvitesse to the list of deletion proposals, because the person seems to be a fake. You did remove my addition here. I am not familiar with deletions in here, please put the deletion request to the right place instead of just setting it back. I am not native english. Greetings. Schmelzle (talk) 19:30, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
- Hi Schmelzle, thanks for your message[6]. Yes, your attempt at adding a deletion discussion for Didier Bonvitesse went in the wrong place but, as it happens, you don't need to start a deletion discussion yet because you have prodded (prod+) the article. An admin will review the article in five days and decide whether to delete it or not (and I don't see why not). If someone objects or the admin declines to delete it, then it can go on to be listed at WP:AfD. I'll be happy to help out if needed. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:59, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
Dakar Rally articles
The 2003 Dakar Rally article is now a stub, however, I believe the others would qualify for deletion, as most consist just of the year and number. No winners, deaths, not even start and finish cities. --SpeedKing (talk) 19:56, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Tiffany Giardina
Hi it's me Matt and i was wondering why u deleted Tiffany Giardina? Tiffany Giardina is a real artist and she made a real album called No Average Angel… It's on Itunes… Also she has lots and lots of Christmas songs that she made ever since she was young, like maybe 10 years old or something… And she also sang on the Another Cinderella Story Soundtrack so i don't know why u would delete Tiffany Giardina… i wasn't the one who created that article or any other article that might've been create within it, but i just discovered it a couple of weeks ago that someone had created the article and that it was deleted… Can u tell me why 785 Records is notable enough to stay on Wikipedia and Tiffany Giardina isn't? 69.121.122.105 (talk) 21:03, 2 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Morts623 (talk • contribs)

SELEX Systems Integration Ltd
I've noted that you deleted the following page - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELEX_Systems_Integration_Ltd - because it "does not meet guidelines for inclusion". I'm not sure who you are, or what gives you the authority to delete such a page, but I'd be grateful if you could advise why the page was deleted. It was created consistently in content and structure with its sister company, which has had a presence on wikipedia for 1-2 years. I'm therefore confused and bemused about this deletion.
Please advise accordingly.
Damian Schogger
- Hi, Damian, thanks for your message The article was proposed for deletion by another editor because he felt that the subject, the company SELEX Systems Integration Ltd, did not meet Wikipedia's guidelines for an article in the encyclopedia. After five days, I reviewed the article, I found that no one had objected to deletion and it seemed to me the rationale given was reasonable, particularly the need for significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject per Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and so deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy.
- May I suggest merging the text into the Finmeccanica article with a redirect to it? Should the company later gather significant coverage, the text can then be broken out from the Finmeccanica article into its own article. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:27, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
Vorshack
dont give me that crap, the story is widespread in scotland were i have spent two summers, i enjoyed reading that page and believe it to be accurate with a few errors which can be changed but they are only a few errors, so why dont u get a life and stop pretending to be a scholar and treat other people with respect? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.196.254 (talk) 03:32, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
- Dear Mr IP 71.112.196.254, the Vorshack article was nominated for deletion by another editor who felt that it failed one of Wikipedia's core policies, that of being verifiable. The nomination was open to the community for discussion for five days, at the end of which the consensus among those who took part was for the article to be deleted. I merely carried out the wishes of the community in deleting the article.
- If you will tell me what was the part of Scotland where you heard the story, I'll make some enquiries the next time I'm down that way. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Well maybe you should check before the deletion of the article, and by the way, a couple of people saying delete the page is not the opinion, there are dozens of people from my high school trip to Scotland you are mad about the deletion as well Bottom line is: Do not delete a page until you know ALL THE FACTS Sincerely, Jeremiah —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.112.196.254 (talk) 02:50, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
- Dear Jeremiah, a deletion discussion is not an expression of opinions but a discussion as to whether the article meets Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. The big, big problem was that no one could verify that the subject exists thus it failed one of Wikipedia's core policies. The key is for the person writing the article to provide the sources that they are using. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 23:32, 12 March 2009 (UTC) P.S. What part of Scotland? I'm only a couple of hours away..

The album isn't by Mindless Self Indulgence. It's by The Left Rights whose article redirects to the album. I think that A9 still applies since a.) the band doesn't have an article, and b.) the band has no possible notability outside of having a member of Mindless Self Indulgence, and as we all know, notability is not inherited.

Hi, you said to let you know if it happened again, which it has and this time with an attempt to try and justify it on the talk page. I don't really know how to approach this now as they for whatever reason are clearly going to keep this up, butthey use a different IP address each time, so there is little point leaving warnings on their page. I have tried explaining on the talk page and reverted them again, but I doubt it will do any good, and I fully expect them to restore it yet again. --♦Tangerines♦·Talk 01:13, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I notice that you recently reverted vandalism on the above page, here, here and here but I was wondering why you didn't warn them ? The nature of the edits suggest it's the same person. --DFS454 (talk) 09:39, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the message. It's a person with a dynamic IP and it didn't seem much point chasing him around the different IP addresses and leaving warnings for the next user of that IP address to find. I have been keeping an eye on the article to see if he would get the message and stop. He hasn't (I have just reverted a piece of vandalism) so I've now semi-protected the article for one week; hopefully, that will do the trick. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:32, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Hi Malcomxl5,
I think I understand why the speedy was declined. Did I use the wrong tag? This is clearly a hoax. Should I WP:PROD it or respeedy with a different tag or what? Thanks, WTucker (talk) 00:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- I decided to PROD it to subject it to more scrutiny from a wider audience. Thanks again. WTucker (talk) 01:42, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, thanks for the message. Yes, it was the wrong tag more than anything else. {{db-a1}} is used for articles that are incoherent and gibberish, e.g. "The Smurfs is a ~'dlfkutns fnnkcjwf !£)(&*%^%$", rather than for hoaxes. {{db-g3}} can be used for really obvious hoaxes but a prod will do the job here. You may find this essay Field guide to proper speedy deletion useful (I do!). Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:12, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

Deletion of Sierra_(porn_star) page - please reinstate
Hi! I'm not what you'd call a HUGE user of wikipedia, but I use it often enough to correct pages with errors on them. The page on porn star Sierra (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_(porn_star) was added as a self-imposed exercise on how to add a page. However, I believe its inclusion is relevant. She's one of very few African American pornographic models to achieve a measure of prominence in the adult industry, which can be seen from the 150+ films she made for various companies. Her prominence can't be measured in porn industry awards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:PORNBIO#Pornographic_actors) because such recognition isn't normally awarded to non-white actors. I can point to her interviews in several adult magazines, or the text of the wikipedia page being used verbatim on multiple webpages devoted to her, but I simply hope you'll reconsider and undo your deletion of her wikipedia page. Thank you for reading. -- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Den68cube (talk • contribs) 02:55, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- Hi, Den68cube, thanks for the message. The article was proposed for deletion by another editor and after five days, no one had objected, the rationale seemed reasonable to me and so I deleted it. I would be reluctant to restore it as it was without some further work to address to reasons for deletion. You say that there are interviews with her in magazines? If the article could be rewritten around multiple, significant coverage of her in magazines then that might be a way forward. What do you think? --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:39, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. OK, I'll see if any interview make reference to her 'significance' in the industry. When it's found, I'll contact you with the information asking for reinstatement of the article. --
Elsyn and cytgan
Thanks for the help. As you can probably tell I am very new to this, although ignorance should never be an excuse I know. Any advice on how to make the page better and more relevant would be very greatly received. I am a member of 6 different Choirs and intend to try and add something on all of them. Though as you can probably tell maybe I should get this one correct first. With regard, Elsyn. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elsyn (talk • contribs) 23:50, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
Talk:2008 Beijing Drum Tower incident during the Olympic Games
Hi Malcolmxl5. Can you please restore the above redirect. It was not a G8 as it was not dependent on any deleted or nonexistent page, but properly redirected to Talk:2008 Beijing Drum Tower stabbings, and that redirect was protected by me as a move war target that had been used previously. Your deletion now opens up the name again as an improper move target for a persistent vandal who has moved the article multiple times.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 14:17, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello Malcolmxl5,
Not do I in any way represent the above artist/band. The artist in question has received a very large deal of press coverage here in the area in which they operate in. I decided to contribute my first article on Wikipedia to this particular artist, as there is a lot of information available that is noteworthy of mention.

Where Did you find the mighty ginger article and why did you want it deleted? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ManOfTheForrest (talk • contribs) 22:52, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Yea but why do you insist on being such a nerd looking for it and deleting it?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ManOfTheForrest (talk • contribs) 22:56, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
Why Did You Delete my Article and where did you find it?!?!?! —Preceding unsigned comment added by ManOfTheForrest (talk • contribs) 22:54, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
- Replied here[15]. Hello. I deleted your article because the information in it was patently false and so not suitable for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Kind regards. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 12:07, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Yea but couldnt you have just left it alone? why is it that you are such a nerd? —Preceding unsigned comment added by ManOfTheForrest (talk • contribs) 21:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Why are you delete the ramona jennex page a second time? it was fine ...... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.137.126.149 (talk) 00:38, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Hi. The article was deleted the first time because the subject did not meet the notability guidelines for politicians (because she is an unelected candidates for political office) nor the primary notability criterion (significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject). It was deleted the second time because the recreated page was substantially identical to the deleted version and did not address the reasons for which the material was originally deleted, i.e. the fact that she does not meet guidelines for an article in Wikipedia at this time. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 20:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
The Night
Hi. Back in January, there was some controversy going on as to the article for American rock band Disturbed's song, "The Night". Controversy was that it kept getting re-created, but didn't cover notability guidelines, so you re-directed them to the album's article, and protected the pages. Well, I would say "The Night" is notable enough now; there's tons of sources on the release of the song, the music video has emerged, there's info on the musical influences, plus I have the promotional CD sitting right next to me right now, recently released. It's also charted. So, if you could please unprotect The Night (Disturbed song) (you asked me to tell you when the song met notability guidelines), I would greatly appreciate it, as I would like to get started on the article as soon as possible. Thanks. --The Guy complain edits 20:47, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Thank you kindly; I'll begin work on it shortly after you un-protect :) I'm almost positive I can make at least a C-Class article out of the information I have. If not, start-class is still a great start. Thanks again! --The Guy complain edits 21:02, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Working on it now. Thanks again. It's really appreciated. --The Guy complain edits 21:05, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- You might also want to unprotect to talk page of the article. Noticed you overlooked this. --The Guy complain edits 21:21, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- First draft of the article is up. Check it out if you'd like, and tell me what you think. --The Guy complain edits 22:39, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
- Can you check the album artwork I put there for me, please? There's none available online, so I scanned it directly from my copy. My monitor is extremely bad, and sees things probably 50% darker than they should be, with little details, so I can't really tell if the album art is ideal. Looks OK on my screen, but I'd like a second opinion if you have a minute. --The Guy complain edits 02:07, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- I brightened the image ever so slightly. I might need more help just to have someone to look at the pictures if I don't get the ideal brightness soon. Hope I'm not bugging you too much. Anyways, I've got class in 20 minutes, so I won't be on for a bit. I'll check my talk page when I get back. --The Guy complain edits 12:13, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
- I was fortunate to be able to look at the article with one of the school's laptops. I think the image looks fine compared to the actual CD insert, fortunately. --The Guy complain edits 01:02, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

JCutter
Thanks for the heads-up. I googled all of Wikipedia trying to find some thread on JCutter. I didn't find anything, because the vandal appears to be using a different account for every vandal he threatens, so I assumed I was the first to read the e-mail and react. There appear to be other, more competent and experienced admins dealing with his, so I won't get too involved, especially as this is probably just an empty threat. --Carabinieri (talk) 11:11, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
ThankSpam
My RfA
Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record. ~~~~~ |

Shrew mole vs shrew-mole
One of these two is the disambiguation page: Shrew Mole Shrew-mole
They keep getting mixed up.
This stuff is VERY confusing. For example, there is also Mole-shrew.
All searches for any spelling of shrew-mole, hyphen or not, should go to the disambliguation page.
Thank you for your help and kind attention to this matter!
Chrisrus (talk) 12:47, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Yes, that's it! That helps alot. Should "shrew-mole" be shrew-mole (Neurotrichus) so that the hyphanated search could be sent to disambig also?
Then, if your interested, there's a problem with mole shrew! It's very confusing, but a shrew mole is a Talpidae mole that looks like a shrew, and mole shrew are two kinds of shrews, one group Chinese and the other African, that are shrews that look like moles. I've been trying to sort this out but I need your wiki-skills. If those suggestions don't work, I have some other ideas.
Thanks again! Chrisrus (talk) 13:05, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
Well, I guess that there is no way to get all the searches to go to the disambig unless we rename the Neurotrichus article shrew mole (Neurotrichus) or something. Is there? How else could we get all searches to go to disambig? I want to do it with the mole-shews, too. All should go to disambig. Thanks for your help, YOU DA MAN! Chrisrus (talk) 13:27, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
By the way, the rest of the world calls Neurotrichus "American Shrew Mole" but because the Uber reference that trumps all call it only Shrew Mole, the taxonomy fascists wouldn't let me rename it that. Chrisrus (talk) 13:30, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

The article looks in really good shape, you've done a good job. I think you should put it forward for GA as it is now. Maybe the lead could be expanded a little, but other than that it will be just tweaks here and there I reckon, certainly nothing that would quick fail the review. I'll let you know if I spot anything else, or apply the edits myself if they're minor. Cheers. --Jameboy (talk) 22:18, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
Chitrita Banerjee - diff from Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
I had created a redirect Chitrita Banerji to Chitrita Banerji Divakaruni under a misimpression: but Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni, and Chitrita Banerji (whose page I just created) are completely different authors. After realizing this, I couldn't delete the page and left the redirect hanging hoping they would get deleted automatically. But you too had the misconception and completed the redirect. Hence pls speedy-delete Chitrita Banerji Divakaruni (redirect). mukerjee (talk) 01:27, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
