editI take full responsibility for the actions of whatever Marine/Sailor did that. I apologize on their behalf.138.162.140.55 (talk) 20:20, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
- Thank you. Is there a school on your base? NawlinWiki (talk) 20:21, 1 October 2010 (UTC)
No, there is not. But please don't judge our whole organization on the actions of that one individual. Most of us are way more mature than that.138.162.140.55 (talk) 20:49, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

editExcuse me, noggin wiki? Yes I'd like to tell you that the gyrobomb article is not an attack page, it has veriviable source and is expected to be used 2 years from now. Please see WP: Personal Attacks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakinglord (talk • contribs) 03:05, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
It toaltally talks about the subject. If It wasn't talking about the subject, it would be talking about what people feel about it or something —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shakinglord (talk • contribs) 03:09, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Element 10000
editSo here's my question: can't there be a bot that finds new articles with a word like "penis", where the author has few edits, and the article just get deleted right away? Why waste my time patrolling and yours deleting if something with these types of triggers should be immediately catchable? (I am watching this page, so please reply here.) — Timneu22 · talk 17:06, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- The user triggered a bunch of edit filters, which is why I summarily blocked them - no redemption here. Filters 98, 279, 30, 3 and 12 were lit up. None of those, however, were really designed to filter penis vandals. Acroterion (talk) 17:10, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'm just saying it would be totally sweet if a bot would actually delete suspected pages based on some blatant words (penis, penus, etc.) and other factors (new editor). If, on the off chance, someone created a valid article that fell into this category, someone could always restore it. — Timneu22 · talk 17:33, 6 October 2010 (UTC)
- We have filters for that, although I can't point at a specific example. I'll look around. Acroterion (talk) 17:52, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

User that you blocked...
editHello NawlinWiki,
I noticed that you blocked the user "Parasect". I was thinking about changing my username to that, but I need to find out if it is ok if I use that username thanks, -- Platyfishkeeper (Formerly 水の男の子) 19:33, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

User:සදීප
editHello NawlinWiki, You have blocked සදීප (talk · contribs) on 10 February 2009 saying he is having multiple accounts. I have a slight suspect of him to be a sock in Sinhala Wikipedia. Lately this person has become active in there. He has left a note in the village pump and expressed that he "is not using this account to edit ENWIKI" and have asked for help. Sinhala Wikipedia is currently experiencing a 2 years old horrid sock puppeting incident. It would be a great help if you could reveal the sockpuppets of this person if possible and clear this matter. Regards--Chanaka L (talk) 01:53, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Brian Cook (college sports blogger, Author)
editBrian Cook (college sports blogger and author) was recently deleted from wikipedia by you. I beleve this to be a mistake as Mr. Cook runs mgoblog.com, one of the most comprehensive college sports blogs in amarica. His content has been referenced by journalists from ESPN, The Big Ten Network, The Detroit Free Press, The Ann Arbor News and by authors such as John U. Bacon who is also a professor at The University of Michigan. Brian Cook also is a freelance sports writer for SBNation.com, as well as many other sports related websites. I trust that Mr. Cook's Wiki page will be reinstated once you have done your proper due diligence.

Possible false positive on filter 58
editA new report on the false positives page turned up this edit, and I'm hoping you can tell whether it is a false positive or not, and if so, is there a way to still fulfill the purpose this watch word was added for without turning up false positives like this? (I'm deliberately being vague with details because I don't know this vandal and don't know if he's the type who scours every page looking for information about how he's being tracked.) —Soap— 12:11, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
- While this isn't actually the vandal we're looking for, it's a valid hit because it included a particular misspelling that is usually deliberate. I'll email you with the details. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:31, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
Deletion
editHmm... I was in the process of adding a detailed explanation of "Reported user seems to primarily use IP addresses, so this report would be better suited for abuse response if the user is active again. Activity does not fit guidelines for inclusion and isn't of much value. I copied this from the main page as part of a cleanup, now checking over." (just in case someone was confused) when you deleted this. Awesome, and thanks! Netalarmtalk 04:49, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
Doughnut Days 2009
editHi, how are you? I recently noticed that you have deleted User:Grundle2600/Doughnut Days 2009, a subpage of Grundle2600's that documented an event. I understand that Grundle2600 is currently banned, but I was wondering if that page could be restored, since it's an event that multiple users (including me) participated in, and as such, it would be nice to have a record of it? If not as a subpage of Grundle2600's, perhaps a restoration in the Wikipedia mainspace would be appropriate, or even on a subpage of mine? If it's appropriate and possible, it would be much appreciated. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:55, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- It was moved to User:Jonathunder/Doughnuts before I deleted the Grundle subpage. NawlinWiki (talk) 04:55, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
- Ah, I see. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 04:58, 16 October 2010 (UTC)
/* Your assistance please */
editYou speedy deleted a main space article entitled Zabihullah_Mujahid. My notes record I asked you about this deletion. Sorry, my notes do not record if you responded. Subsequently a redirect was created at that name, to another article. It has been so long you probably don't remember any of the details.
I'd like to request you merge the history of the deleted article with the redirect. If you agree to this request, could you please leave me a heads-up, on my talk page? I'll then go back into the old history, and see if there are references or other material in the version you deleted, that merit integration into the main article. And, if you wouldn't mind, if you do not agree to provide this help, could you also leave me a note on my talk page letting me know of your decision?

User talk:NawlinWiki/Articles and this talk page
editHello NawlinWiki, I stumbled upon User talk:NawlinWiki/Articles. Looks like vandals have gotten to the page and just wanted to bring it to your attention. Also, I've declined a request to indefinitely semi-protect this page; is this what I should do in the future, or can I go ahead and protect it? Thanks, Airplaneman ✈ 01:41, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Nawlin, Did you notice that I can move this page? I actually want to request move, not semi. TbhotchTalk C. 17:36, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

IT_in_Business_programme_at_Leiden_University deletion
editHi there, last friday I started a wiki: IT_in_Business_programme_at_Leiden_University. However when I wanted to see it I saw that it was deleted with the reason of unknown purpose. Well this page will be about the IT in Business programme that is offered at Leiden University. It is by no means adverstising, it is just a description of what the programme about and what students can expect. There is another Leiden University page for a masters programme called Media Technology which has the same intentions. Therefore I hereby ask to undelete the page.
Best regards —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rvdbroek (talk • contribs) 08:20, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
- There is really no indication in either article that these programs are notable WP:N apart from their affiliation with a notable university. I've redirected the Media Technology article to Leiden University - I suggest you add a couple of sentences on each of the programs to the main Leiden article. We typically don't have separate articles on individual departments or courses at universities. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 14:48, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

Levi & Korsinsky LLP
editWhy did you delete this article. I placed a hang on tag on the article, and left messages on the Talk:Levi & Korsinsky LLP page. Why did you delete article without responding to my message. Lawman411 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:41, 19 October 2010 (UTC).
- Ok thanks, so i take it the sources I cited so far on the talk page to show the notablility of the organization is not good enough. Let me know what you need or some prior example I can follow and I will provide you with what you need. Lawman411 (talk) 14:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- I didn't just say do a google search, I provided a link to the google search. There are lots of articles that show up, no point of mentioning each one of the hundreds; rather I provided a link. Lawman411 (talk) 14:55, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Workplace Community
editI have nominated Workplace Community for deletion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2010 October 19. I believe the original article should probably have been deleted under WP:CSD#A10. The only mention of the phrase "Workplace Community" at the Intranet article is as a "see also" and the editor provided a citation (in the edit summary, of all places) that indicated that this term is really only used as a marketing term for a particular company's software. I have removed the "see also" from Intranet, leaving the newly created redirect as rather nonsensical, since the Intranet article no longer mentions that phrase. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:48, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- I'll just do the A10 delete, then. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:48, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Investigating your AfD nomination today lead me to Jagmandar Dass Jain, which appears to be along the same lines. I thought you might be interested to know that I have nominated it for deletion - so if you want to check out the article in case you'd like to weigh in on that one too. -Addionne (talk) 18:54, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion of BP Public Relations
editHi NalinWiki, I thought we were supposed to wait 15 minutes before tagging or deleting A3 CSDs. Also, would you (and the all of your wonderful city) not have an inherent COI concerning anything to do with BP, no disrespect intended. --Triwbe (talk) 20:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- Well, there really was no content at all. And no, I don't think we have a conflict of interest with respect to anything having to do with BP - they do a lot besides spilling oil. And finally, we generally don't do pages about departments of companies as opposed to the companies themselves. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:18, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
- OK then, no problem. --Triwbe (talk) 07:48, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
Article Harsh Vardhan Jain, Jagmandar Dass Jain others
editKindly note that the Article was first made by name HV Jain, but the administrators changed it to Harsh Vardhan Jain Kindly do the needful and you can Find sources: Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Kindly see the Articles in Category:Indian businesspeople may be more than 80% will be deleted due to one or other reasons.
Kindly see the corrections been done in the Articles contributed Harsh Vardhan Jain, Jagmandar Dass Jain etc.
Why deleted - as the Article is been posted 2 months back and it is been regularly viewed in Wikipedia.
Only request I made was that there was a confusion today morning by User:NawlinWiki and then others followed it too.
I want to express is that approx 4500 view for the Articles and if there was any incorrect information then it would have been come in notice long back.
- Explaination of Confusion where User:Nawlinwiki expressed that Article was Deleted earlier :
17:42, October 19, 2010 NawlinWiki (talk | contribs) deleted "Harsh Vardhan Jain" (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content)) 01:12, October 4, 2010 Deb (talk | contribs) deleted "Harsh Vardhan Jain" (G6: Deleted to make way for move) But, as on 4 Oct 2010 it was a redirect done by User:Deb, No deletion was done. For further confirmation kindly contact User:Deb.
I was not knowing that Wikipedia doesnot want popular Articles, which will increase the use of Wikipedia by common people.
But I think that if 00.00001% contribution I do in Wikipedia Articles - It will lead in increase of popularity of Wikipedia in Common people may be by a very tint wat but it will.

Azmi Bishara and other daily vandalized articles
editHi Nawlin, first off, thank you for your regular revisions to protect the regularly vandalized articles, particularly on Israel-Palestine. What do you think about just permanently protecting them for a time until the vandalizer(s) become bored and look elsewhere for their petty thrills?--TM 19:22, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- We're trying to accomplish that objective without blocking legitimate editors. The filters are doing a good job of that, as well as some other things we are doing. At this point, the vandal gets maybe one edit, which is instantly blanked, so basically nobody sees it except the blocking admin. Eventually, you would think he would not need a Ph.D. to see that it's pointless. NawlinWiki (talk) 19:24, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
- You may want to add Mahmoud Abbas to your list of filtered articles after this edit. or you could just semi-protect it, which I think is a suitable decision for just about every major BLP article.--TM 02:33, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion of Hannah Victoria Smith article
editHi Nawlin, I was in the process of adding more references to this page when you removed it. Hannah is a well known neo-soul recording artist and I really wanted to create an article about all of her activities that I believe would be notable (Grammys, Fox News, etc). I dont want to "speedily re-add" the article without understanding what it was specifically missing in the article other than references (which i was adding when you removed the article). Please feel free to reach out to me. --Gframe (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 20:16, 20 October 2010 (UTC).
Deletion of Stacey Gurnevich article
editHi Nawlin, I had reliable sources for my article. I don't quite see why you deleted it? It wasn't offensive or biased. Stacey is a well known female amongst the online community. I was going to add even more references at a later date until you deleted the article. I don't want to re-add the article only for you to delete it again. Can you tell me what I seem to have missed? Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MagnificentOneee (talk • contribs) 15:03, 21 October 2010 (UTC)
Chomsky
editI can't see what kind of stupidity it is that you're repeatedly reverting and removing at Noam Chomsky, but the removals must be wasting a lot of your time. How about semi-protection or pending-changes protection? (If WP:BEANS is an issue, feel free either to ignore this suggestion entirely or to email me.) -- Hoary (talk) 01:14, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
- This is an ongoing User:Runtshit cleanup project. He seems not to care that his vandal edits are instantly reverted as long as they stay in the page history. So I'm removing them all from the page histories. I'm about half done. Semiprotection doesn't really seem to be necessary because we have a couple of pretty good edit filters that are minimizing future harm. NawlinWiki (talk) 02:01, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
I hadn't encountered the name "Runtshit" before. Accuracy in usernames, I suppose. Well, that's OK then, kind of. No, I'd been under the wrong impression that you had some extraordinary "oversight" capabilities and once or twice a day were reverting and removing all trace of new additions of stupidity. If that were so, better to prevent the additions in the first place. -- Hoary (talk) 03:25, 22 October 2010 (UTC)
ScentOfLove (Internet Service)
edit- Hi Nawlin, you deleted my article about ScentOfLove (Internet Service). I guess the article is relevant (we had a lot of media coverage in Europe) and since for example JDate etc. are in Wikipedia as well, describing the service in a neutral manner, I don't understand why you deleted it. May you advise more precise? Best --Evaluethi (talk) 08:12, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

False positive on filter 47
editThere is a recent false positive report here that I can't answer other than to say it was wrong, and make the edit. Is there a better way to handle these pages? —Soap— 00:08, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

Israel Shamir
editHi, I have been involved in the longer term improvement to keep this article neutral but have noticed a significant ramp up in RevDels. If the article is being actively abusively attacked, is there more that can be done to protect it on a permanent basis? Thanks, Fæ (talk) 21:05, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering
editHey NawlinWiki, I was wondering why my page about D-Pryde got deleted. He is an inspiration to all of us. My page is not a scam. You can google him or check him out on Youtube. He is going to be selling his music on ITunes soon. He has over 60,000 fans. He is influential because he raps about life, working hard, and never giving up instead of drugs, money, sex (most rappers). I decided to make a wiki page for him because everyone said he really needed one on his Facebook fan page. Can you please make my page viewable in public. Thank you for your time and I hope you consider putting his page back. Celticsrule94 (talk) 03:15, 30 October 2010 (UTC)

Fabulance
edit- You deleted this article under the claim that it was not notable and was about a real person. This is completely false. This is about a popular gay comic character that had been published for nearly two years now on high profile gay media, magazines, etc and has a strong fan following. I am the creator of the strip and had created an account last night to correct the false information that had been posted on the fan made wiki page. The character was inspired by a real live individual, but is by no means ABOUT a real person. I am going to recreate this page with the correct information. Please allow me to do this so that I can maintain the facts about this comic strip character. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rosendobrown (talk • contribs) 12:42, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- I still don't think this comic is notable per WP:WEB, and I still think you shouldn't be editing the article about your own comic. But I've listed the page for further discussion at WP:AFD. NawlinWiki (talk) 12:47, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- i have included publication dates and links to the comic as it appears in echo magazine for notable references. and i edited my own comic because whoever made the page had not updated it and had incorrect information on it. i decided to correct it in order to straighten out the facts of my intellectual property. the incorrect information on the previous wiki page has been used in reference in many radio and newspaper articles that i have been involved in and i do not feel that i should have to keep correcting the interviewers when i can simply correct this erroneous information myself.

- in addition to the links to the strip in the magazine and the pages in which they appear, i have also included two articles about me and the strip as well as an mp3 link of one of the radio shows (la talk radio) where i was interviewed. i hope all of this makes it notable.

- hey, on the AFD page you listed this as a WebComic. This is not true. The comic is published every 2 weeks in Echo Magazine, a celluloid publication in Phoenix, AZ. The comic is merely published on the web on facebook and in Echo Magazine's e-zine... but is primarily published in a physical magazine. 72.190.122.137 (talk) 14:56, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Nawlin, how can i bring this page to code so that it is not deleted? I have been trying to fix it without creating a COI. Any advice? Rosendobrown (talk) 03:14, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

- Is there any way to stop this nonsense? MuzeMike blocked some IPs, but apparently there are Tor nodes involved or something. This has been going on since last night, with dozens of socks. → ROUX ₪ 13:19, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

- The /Science and /Humanities desks were semiprotted for a while, but people complained about it. Soon as the prots were lifted, the socks were right back at it. → ROUX ₪ 13:23, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- It depends how desperate he gets. He was willing to produce this last night (Roux, I know you've seen it since you're the one who reverted it), and to disguise his edits by putting legitimate-lookijng content with them. Also, I've removed a few watch words on filter 264 that I think might appear in legitimate edits; not intending this to be permanent though. —Soap— 13:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- He's also taken to making legitimate edits, then coming back and changing the question. Honestly, it's a bizarre fixation. → ROUX ₪ 13:51, 31 October 2010 (UTC)

editHi, just a quick one for you. Has this user User_talk:Rosendobrown got the right warning? It looks like a post deletion tag, rather than the AFD. Cheers Clovis Sangrail (talk) 13:49, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- The AFD was after the deletion. I already responded to the user. NawlinWiki (talk) 13:50, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Apologies - I just noticed the conversation up above. Sorry for the bother.. Cheers Clovis Sangrail (talk) 13:52, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
I'm not sure if it's calmed down or not, but you're aware of the trouble on that board; some guy has created upwards of thirty socks to make a nuisance of himself there. Maybe the page could be SPed for awhile. I'm aware it's already PC protected, but with that setup, the edits still have to be reverted, and he seems pretty hell-bent.

- As I post, he appears to be back again. HalfShadow 21:21, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- Blocked that one, and see new filter 372. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:40, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
Angela Donovan
editYou speedily deleted my article on Angela Donovan before I was able to reference her media appearances etc. I can understand that the article may have been inappropriate as I copied her bio from promotional material and was going to edit. I am restarting the article referencing media appearances whilst I will leave the body of text blank for now. I would like to eventually have an article that resembles David Icke. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mjmansur (talk • contribs) 21:44, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
- You're right - you shouldn't copy and paste from the subject's own promo materials. Please keep in mind WP:NPOV and especially WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:00, 31 October 2010 (UTC)
