78 Violet

Hi Malcolm, I've undone all your edits to the Ally & AJ redirects. You went through changing my preparation for a page move, just 3 minutes before I moved 78violet to 78 Violet. Astronaut (talk) 05:07, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that, Astronaut! I hope it didn't caused too much trouble for you. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:18, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Brace

Because the article has been deleted it is now impossible to explain what a brace means in an article. I used to wikilink it to explain what it meant but now I can't Spiderone (talk) 09:23, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

It would probably be best to have a word with User:Mazca who deleted the Brace_(sports) article following an expired prod. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 16:16, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Swansea Cork Ferry

HI Malcolm I'm curious as to why all references to Swansea Cork Ferry and Swansea Cork Ferries have been deleted. As co-organiser of the Campaign to restore this ferry link - I'm kind of concerned. Can you explain please ? Thanks - Adrian Nobullman (talk) 22:10, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

Replied on your talk page. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:29, 11 July 2009 (UTC)


Update ! Hi Malcolm - thanks for the reinstatement of the article. It seems that there is one particular contributor who is intent on sabotaging this article, and has a history of malicious editing. Thankfully, you've now restored the article back to where it was before they wrecked it last time.. There's a lot of background to this - but it's not for an open forum - if you care to email me via the links on the Ferry Campaign website then I'll explain. - Thanks again , Adrian Nobullman (talk) 06:07, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Updated update <g> Hi again Malcolm. Looking at it again - the origninal article has been tagged 'May date quickly' (this happened sometime ago). What can we do to get this tag removed ? Fact is - we're updating the article as we have more news, and it will continue to be updated as the situation develops.... Thanks Adrian Nobullman (talk) 06:42, 12 July 2009 (UTC)

Further update Over the past days there have been several amendments and attempts (by the same user) to hijack the Swansea Cork Ferry article and redirect it to Swansea Cork Ferries. The Swansea Cork Ferries article that was deleted has now been reinstated and expanded by that user, but the content contains no references to back it up - and it seems only intended to damage the article about Swansea Cork Ferry.. Your advice would be welcomed.... Thanks 92.39.189.2 (talk) 07:34, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Article about John Brzozowski

Dear Malcolmxl5, you deleted the redirect page entitled John Brzozowski. The page it redirects to has been restored in the meantime; please do also restore the redirect. Thank you in advance. Hermel (talk) 06:15, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Yes, no problem. I have done this. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:29, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

list of xbox 360 controller compatible pc games

I was wondering why you deleted this page? I had found it extremely useful since as far as I can tell there is no other well maintained list. Graywolf323 (talk) 08:08, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello Graywolf323. The article List of Xbox 360 controller compatible PC games was deleted by User:Juliancolton as a result of this deletion discussion Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Xbox 360 controller compatible PC games (what I deleted was a redirect to the deleted article). --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Need Help

as an active editor of bouchta el hayani's page, i wanted your help for two things. first, the user that keeps making changes to the page removed pictures which are taken as pictures under pretext taht art work photos violate copyright which is totally not true, at least in morocco as if you type the artist's work on google you find his work in webgalleries, ministry sites, auction sites, newspaper ... second thing i need your help for is formatting because with the pictures the text moved and the page looks very messy. I would appreciate your opinion on the first issue and help on the second one. thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Khatibimaroc (talkcontribs) 21:07, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi Khatibimaroc. Copyright can be quite complicated. I'll look at this over the next couple of days (it is close to midnight and I have to work tomorrow. :) ). In the meantime, be reassured that people are not trying to do you or Mr El Hayani harm, they are just trying to do the right thing for Wikipedia. What we have to do is to find and steer the right course through the rules of Wikipedia. The formatting issues can be dealt with quite easily and I'll look at that soon. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:45, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

JFK Assassination / Jim Braden

Hi, thanks for your recent helpful contributions to the Jim Braden article regarding JFK conspiracies. I wanted to bring to your attention that this article is being targeted for deletion. Your help saving it would be greatly appreciated. DrippingGoss (talk) 19:33, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

WP:AN

The section "Inappropriate mass changes to multiple threads" is asking for admin intervention to stop him from acting until an RfC is done. DGG already pointed out the need for an RfC before mass changes. These come up all the time at AN. Please unclose the topic as it has nothing to do with a dispute resolution. Ottava Rima (talk) 01:52, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you. I do not think there is merit in reopening the section. This is as singular a content dispute as you can hope to find. Reconsideration has indicated that he is willing to discuss the issue and my advice would be to proceed directly to WP:RFC or discuss at some other venue. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 19:29, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Hospital of death

Sorry if this is in the wrong place but i wondered why you have deleted the page for the band Hospital of death. As far as i know it was not offensive, maybe a little frivolous, but surely a discussion could have been had, rather than just deleting the page. Other bands on wikipedia have pages and i think you decision was unjustified and unnecessary. Contact me with reasons for your decision otherwise i will file a complaint. TheReverendD | Talk 21:17, 10 September 2009 (GMT)

Hello ReverendD, I deleted a redirect that was broken, that is, a page that directed the reader to an article that no longer existed. The article about the band itself, which was at Hospital of Death (band), was nominated for deletion by an editor under Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion as being an article about a band that did not indicate the importance or significance of the subject (see criteria A7). The nomination was then reviewed by an administrator who agreed that the article met the criteria for deletion and who then deleted it. Kind regards, --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:19, 10 September 2009 (UTC) Copied to User talk:TheReverendD. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 22:21, 10 September 2009 (UTC)

RE: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Eie-manager

Would you considering userfying the article which you put up for deletion? The will delete it from main space completely and move it to a subpage of the creators.

The editor is a new editor, and this will give the new user a chance to rework this article and maybe wikipedia will get a long term dedicated editor

Please let me know as soon as possible, because as soon as someone else comments on the AfD, they must agree also before I can userfy the article. Thanks for your time.Ikip (talk) 06:16, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Ikip. Thanks for the message. Yes, I'm happy for Eie-manager to be userfied if you feel it would be helpful. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 07:49, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
That warms my heart, let me quickly close the AFD, and I will BRB. THANK YOU! Ikip (talk) 07:51, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
I really appreciate you allowing me to userfy this article. I warned the creator about building articles in name space.

Orphaned non-free image File:Defra logo.gif

 

Thanks for uploading File:Defra logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 03:50, 8 December 2009 (UTC)

Your opinion please...

During Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Andrea J. Prasow I received advice about moving the article to my user space. I said I would request the opinion of the admin who closed the {{afd}} if I thought I had added material to the article that addressed the concerns raised in the {{afd}}.

I added material, at User:Geo Swan/review/Andrea J. Prasow. If you have time I would appreciate your opinion on whether it would need further material before it was ready for a move to article space.

منطقة عجمان الحرة

This refers to the article منطقة عجمان الحرة which you deleted. According to http://translate.google.com/ the title of the article in Arabic means Ajman Free Zone. It might be worthwhile to add anything that can be salvaged from the deleted article to Ajman Free Zone and perhaps to copy the article to the corresponding page in the Arabic Wikipedia at ar:منطقة عجمان الحرة In this case, I suspect the original contributor meant to add the article to the Arabic Wikipedia and got lost. - Eastmain (talk) 22:29, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

  • My userspace would be fine. I have done some work on Ajman Free Zone and will try to transfer any useful content there. If you encounter any other articles in the English Wikipedia that are not in English, please consider copying to the Wikipedia whose language they are written in and perhaps running them through a machine translation at http://translate.google.com to see if they are worth salvaging. Thanks. - Eastmain (talk) 01:16, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Userfying pages

Hi -- you recently changed my User page to remove links to deleted articles. I've been working with the admin who deleted the articles to address the reasons for deletion and am hoping that we can sort it out. To help with the revisions I had asked that the pages be userfied but the admin I asked to do that then went on a break. Is this something you can do? Should I ask the admin who deleted the articles? They are Victoria_Zen_Centre and Venerable_Eshu_Martin. Thanks for your help. Jmgoldberg (talk) 19:25, 9 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks very much for your help with this! Am not sure how best to proceed with the redrafting as Seraphimblade hasn't responded to my request for further details on his comments about sourcing. Also not sure about tone, as I modelled the pages after other Wikipedia pages on Zen centres (from links at [1]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Zen_centers[/a]). This is my first time on Wikipedia and maybe as a newbie I'm missing something that is obvious to more experienced contributors -- if there are specific suggestions, the feedback would be a great help. Am happy to spend more time working on the articles, just want to go in a useful direction that is consistent with Wikipedia standards. Jmgoldberg (talk) 03:56, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Swansea Cork Ferry - again!

Hi - you may remember that we had some problems in Aug 2009 with vexatious redirects on Swansea Cork Ferry. I've just discovered that another redirect has been set up - this time to a very poor article at Fastnet Line. I've undone the redirect - and left a message at Fastnet Line asking if there's any good reason for the redirect, and / or for the new page at Fastnet Line - neither of which seem to serve any useful purpose..... Not sure what more I can do for the moment - or what I should do ?? Any suggestions, please ? Thanks Nobullman (talk) 21:51, 11 February 2010 (UTC)
