Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club

The only copyright on this page asserted was that of the photos. This is a public domain site. Also, there has been a hyperlink to the Gowanus Dredgers Canoe Club for years. Now if you are insisting on original work alone, that is a different case, but describing it as a blatant infringement was a little over exuberant. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elgringograndelatte (talk • contribs) 22:56, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but in order to copy material like that, it must be explicitly released to the public domain. The instructions on this page should be able to help you. You may also want to read our information on advertising and why it's not allowed. TNXMan 14:50, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Leaderboy

I posted Leaderboy on wikipedia.

I am leaderboy, i make electronic music and people want to hear it. I thought it would be helpful to have Leaderboy listed on here. Myspace is my official website and an official remix i have done has been blogged on Hype machine. these were reliable references. The subject matter was short and factual. How else do i list myself as an electronic music artist on here?

Before creating an article, please search Wikipedia first to make sure that an article does not already exist on the subject. Please also review a few of our relevant policies and guidelines with which all articles should comply. As Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, articles must not contain original research, must be written from a neutral point of view, should cite reliable sources which verify their content and must not contain unsourced, negative content about living people.

Articles must also demonstrate the notability of the subject. Please see our subject specific guidelines for people, bands and musicians, companies and organizations and web content and note that if you are closely associated with the subject, our conflict of interest guideline strongly recommends against you creating the article.

If you still think an article is appropriate, see Help:Starting a new page. You might also look at Wikipedia:Your first article and Wikipedia:How to write a great article for guidance, and please consider taking a tour through the Wikipedia:Tutorial so that you know how to properly format the article before creation.

I am requesting an overturn to this deletion

of Melissa Palmer, M.D.

• This gastroenterologist is widely known throughout the US. She is a published author, whose books have been the NY Times best seller list in multiple years, having sold more than 20K copies in a year (the chief requirement to get on the best-seller list).
• The article provides numerous citations from renown medical journals academic publications.
• The subject is clearly notable. I mean, there is no gray area here. She has been cited by many other Wikipedia authors, all of whom are independent of the subject.
• Furthermore, on the second AfD debate, the writer made every attempt to follow the editorial consensus is revising/wikifying the article, and it was still deleted.

Hi. We just notice that our today's start up page "Surf in Pichilemu", was remove. We are Pichilemu.com the official surf tourism from Pichilemu town, a non-profit organization which helps to conserve the natural environments and cultural resources in the Pichilemu area.

Please advice the reasons why you are assuming that we are "advertising" or we are providing content with non sense.

The Virginia Spine Institute

Dear Tnxman307,

I'd like to request that the VSI page be published and the deletion overturned. I had accidentally published without citations, but have them and am adding them now. This is based off of an article from a trade magazine (DC Metro M.D. News, March/April 2008 edition.) I can email you a copy of the article, if it helps. Everything contained in the post is factual, and cited in the article I have.

Thank you,

Myerspublicrelations (talk) 03:10, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, judging by your username, it appears that you have a conflict of interest regarding this subject (as it seems that they are clients of yours). If that is the case, you are strongly discouraged from creating an article about the VSI. Please read our info on writing your first article, as well as our info on what makes a company notable enough to have a Wikipedia page. TNXMan 03:15, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

The Virginia Spine Institute

Tnxman307

It is true that I work for a PR firm, thus the login, however, this company does fit the criteria for publication on wikipedia according to the rules established in the likes you gave me, which I read prior to publication. The source I am using is an independant secondary source, a respected trade magazine which chose to write an article about VSI based on their unique presence in the medical industry. Does wikipedia ban those in the public relations industry from posting? Should you not instead look at the individual merit of the subject matter? VSI falls clearly in the range of a valid subject based on everything I have read. Please advise how I can find my deleted article and add its sources.

Tnx, you might want to add the template message I have on the top of my talk page if you're going to do this much CSD work ;-) Tan | 39 03:30, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

(@ Tan) I thought the message I have would work, but maybe I need to tweak it some. I've found that the quickest way to get a boatload of messages is to work through CAT:SD. That'll teach me!

(@ Myers) Your account is currently blocked, however, I'll go ahead and reply in case you read this. The page you created listed a two sentence description of the company and a list of the employees and their field of expertise. There was no indication of what made the company notable. While Wikipedia does not ban people in the PR field from posting, it recognizes that there is a conflict of interest that exists, which would make it difficult for PR people to write neutrally about a subject. If you would like, when you have been unblocked or registered a new account, I can put the page you created into a sandbox in your userspace where you can work on improving it before moving it to the mainspace.

Appogy deletion

No explanation on why you decided to delete a work in progress. besides G11. Unambiguous advertising or promotion. which could be stated for any company listed on wikipedia including wikipedia because that is what it is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.177.81 (talk) 16:41, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Unless Tnxman is prescient, he's not going to know what the heck you're talking about. What article? Who are you? This is your first edit from this IP. Also, you might want to give poor Sinebot a break and sign your posts. Tan | 39 16:44, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Well if you can't read the topic for the article is Appogy deletion. And I am a first time user trying to help build wikipedia, why are you so negative? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.177.81 (talk) 16:46, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Everybody is so very quick to delete on wikipedia and seemingly nobody wants to help, how much content should an article have before its posted? I have seen wikipedia entries with less then two lines. And its hard to not self promote when its an article regarding a company. Is that not strange?

Can you tell us how your company meets the notability requirements set forth in WP:CORP? If you can, I'm sure we can get an article created. Also, again, please sign your talk page posts using four tildes, per WP:SIG. Thanks! Tan | 39 17:02, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Now you are changing the subject, which makes it confusing. There is no reference as to where to obtain/find creditably secondary sources, only very generalized guild lines. Secondary sources seem to be a matter of opinion more then fact. This is a new company with a launch date of later next month, How many secondary sources do you need to have? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.177.81 (talk) 17:10, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

If you are referring to Appogy, the page was deleted because it was blatant advertising. I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article, as well as our info on writing neutrally. As Tan mentioned, you should also read our info on what makes a company notable enough for a Wikipedia article. Finally, all Wikipedia articles must be sourced using independent reliable sources. TNXMan 03:05, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Considering the topic of discussion is Appogy deletion and it is also referenced in the discussion as well... Can you not be anymore specific or do you have to just stick to switching very generalized points? You talk of creditability and references, but there are no examples in anything referenced that tells you what a reliable or creditable source is or how many are required. The tag was put that the article was still under construction and you delete it anyways, furthermore there was no mention of cost, fees, or links that would directly benefit the company. Its very disappointing that you have to be a wikipedia expert to get an article posted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.177.81 (talk) 10:42, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I've provided you with a link to Wikipedia's definition of a reliable source, however, if you missed it, here is the link again. The Appogy article made no mention of what made the company notable, it simply listed the launch date, a description of the services and software provided, and a link to your Aboutus page. We have plenty of resources to help you write an article, again, I point you to this page. If you would like to request that someone else write an article for you, check out this page. I can't guarantee a response, however, as everyone here is a volunteer. TNXMan 11:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Aboutus.org is a different site then Appogy,com if you would have bothered to pay any attention. It is in no way affiliated with Appogy however Appogy is listed on their website. Hmm. That sounds like a source to me. If you would bother to do any research you would have realize the two are not the same, you could even do a whois on the domains. And Once again the article was under construction (And it was even noted so), in no means was it completed. But within four hours of posting it was deleted. I am so sorry that I am trying to help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.131.176.65 (talk) 22:27, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

I never said that the two sites were the same (or even related). My point was that Aboutus is not a reliable source. TNXMan 22:37, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

The significance of Article on Bro Manuel

Hello Tnxman307,

The purpose of this talk is to explain the significance of the article on Bro Manuel Mergulhao (Now deleted: See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bro_Manuel_Mergulhao)

We live in Mumbai, India. The city has 13,662,885 people. Close to 40% of these people live in abject poverty. Through its affiliate, Rhema Trust, one of the few government-recognized, not-for-profit organisations in this city, Bro Manuel Ministries organizes free medical camps for the downtrodden, cares for orphans and the aged.

However, many do not know about the organization. I have lived in this city all my life and never heard of Bro Manuel until last year. And he has renewed my life and the lives of many others through his work and teachings--he urges people to stop sinning and rely on God. His ministry has prayer services 24/7. Prayer/help lines are also open at all hours.

The ministry organizes free retreats every month (these are attended by people from all parts of India and abroad), and outreach programs in Thane, a satellite city of Mumbai, and Dubai. In many ways, what Bro Manuel does is similar to what Benny Hinn, Joel Osteen and the others are doing, albiet on a smaller scale. He has daily television programs that are broadcast across the world (on MiracleNet & CVO). He also several books to his credit

The first thing I did as soon as I heard of Bro. Manuel was look him up on Wikipedia. I didn't find anything on him.

The idea to create a page on Wikipedia was not to promote him, but to simply tell others like myself who are possibly looking for info on him, what he is all about.

Help is easy to find when those who need it know where to look.

Having said that, I offer my article to you for edit...please delete anything that's even remotely promotional. If you are not convinced bout its significance, then we'll let it rest.

Thanks for your time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecstatic kevin (talk • contribs) 09:39, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the article did not indicate why the ministry was notable and was also very promotional. Please read our info on writing your first article, as well as writing neutrally. You may also want to work on the article in a sandbox in your userspace so that you can improve it without the fear of deletion. If you would like to do that, just drop me a line, and I can restore a copy of it for you. TNXMan 11:49, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks Tnxman307. I like your suggestion. I'll work on it in a sandbox and get one of the editors (preferably you :)) to review it when ready. If it's not too much to ask, could you restore a copy of the article for me? Thanks again —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ecstatic kevin (talk • contribs) 06:11, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Deleting article on RNB artist Ifeanyichukwu Samuel "legacy" Moweta

Hello Tnxman307 my article I created for the RnB artist "legacy" has been deleted due to unambiguous advertising or promotion. I am sorry that you feel I have done violations on your website. I reviewed the policies your website has and I do not know how my mentioning of an Up and coming RNB singer would fall under advertising? I have stated what this young man has done. I am not saying you can "BUY" his music here or he will be "SELLING" his music here. This is an artist who has been performing across 30 states in the US. If you would like to help me make revisions to the parts you feel are "promotional" or "unambigous advertising" I am willing to learn. Thank you for your time. (Legacy4eva (talk) 18:32, 1 September 2009 (UTC))

Assocation Media & Publishing page deletion

Hi,

Can you please tell me why this page was deleted?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_Media_&_Publishing

How am I promoting something? Also, the press release which is cited as copyright infringment is our press release. Can you please tell me how to avoid this page being deleted again?

Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.161.174.245 (talk) 13:00, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

The page was deleted because it was promoting your company. Unsourced statements such as "Leads innovative approaches in community building, as shown by our use of social media, webinars and in-person learning opportunities" have no place in a neutrally written encyclopedia. I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article and what makes a company notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. Finally, Wikipedia cannot accept copy/pasted materials unless it has explicit permission to do so. This page has more info on releasing material to Wikipedia. TNXMan 13:06, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Finnish Mobile Association

Howdy, I saw that you SD'ed this article. As I'm sure you saw on the talk page, I also questioned its notability. However, the page had already been tagged for SD and the SD was contested and subsequently removed. Additionally, to the best of my recollection the text was not G11 text. If the page had a problem it was notability. As such I would request that you restore the page and if you'd like you can put it up for prod or AfD. Joe407 (talk) 15:17, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I can't see a reason to restore the article to the mainspace. It was promotional and had no indication of notability/importance. However, I have no objection to userfying the content, either to your userspace or the author's so it can be improved. Best, TNXMan 15:46, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Mesothelioma

Tnxman307:

I am reverting your deletion of the link to the CureMeso.org website from mesothelioma. This site is a non-proft, patient-focused resource that is completely independent of any legal agency. The educational site belongs in the list alongside the other 10 external links as a repository of mesothelioma research, info about clinical trials, and instructions for disease/patient advocacy. There is nothing advertorial about it. Please reconsider your swift deletions attributed to what you call an "advert link." Johnnygoat00 (talk) 12:50, 31 August 2009 (UTC) Johnnygoat00 (talk) 12:45, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

And I have removed it again, as it is not an appropriate link. Wikipedia is not a linkfarm and does not (and should not) link to every organization and non-profit group that exists. Please read our info on external links and gain consensus on the talk page of the article before re-adding the link. TNXMan 13:24, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Tnxman307: I appreciate your response about Wikipedia not being a linkfarm (with which I agree), but I would appreciate even more an actual explanation for why you deem this link "inappropriate." Certainly, being a nonprofit is not reason enough to merit a link (and I wouldn't expect this), but arguably, being a nonprofit website that happens to contain mesothelioma research, clinical trial info, patient advocacy (non-litigious), and a mesothelioma discussion board are all reasons why the link should be included. This resource is just as legitimate and useful to readers (in an encyclopedic way per Wikipedia standards) as any of the nine .gov links that are already included in the external links. Are nine links exclusively to .gov sites not enough to be considered a link farm, where one link to a independent non-profit suddenly risks the section's bloating into a gluttonous orgy of haphazard linking? Please point me to the page that states there is an exclusive pro-.gov bias in Wikipedia's guidelines for external links.

Furthermore, "gaining consensus on the talk page" before adding this link suggests there is a significant number of people who oppose its inclusion. I see no such collective call for removal. All I see is your shifting labels of "advert link," "cleaning links," and "inappropriate," with an intimation of "link-farming." I cannot see logical explanations for why the link should not be included.

I respect your role as page gatekeeper, but I challenge you to defend your label of "inappropriate" beyond some vague, condescending inference that adding one meritorious non-profit link is equal to starting a link farm. On these new grounds, I am reverting your deletion of the link to the CureMeso.org website from mesothelioma. Johnnygoat00 (talk) 14:39, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

First of all, I am not the "gatekeeper" for any page on Wikipedia, as no one owns articles. Secondly, the link you are pushing does not provide a unique resource for the article (WP:ELNO, point 1). Just as in any addition of material, the burden of proof lies on you to show why the link should be included. Since the link is disputed, there must be consensus to include it. If you want to dispute any of the other links, you can, but their inclusion has no bearing on this link. I should also warn you that continuing to edit war to include this link is forbidden. I will cease removing the link, but I am going to ask for a third opinion on the matter. TNXMan 15:30, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Keep an eye on Johnnygoat00 - I reverted 2 edits where they inserted links to a mesothelioma lawyer's video web site. If you look at the edit history its clear this person works for some type of marketing firm and I believe the CureMeso link addition was to test the waters on how easy/difficult it would be to insert a legal link on the page.

Are you sure about that block? His edits don't actually seem to be vandalism [1], adding 'penis' actually seems correct in the context. ~ mazca ^talk 19:28, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Deleting article on bonga mogale

Hi,

I find issue on the fact that you deleted an article on Bonga Mogale on the basis that it is about a real person who is not notable. I beg to differ in that this person whom you have dismissed as not notable, is a professional soccer player in South Africa and has his name featured on an article presently available on your site, namely the 2008/2009 South African Premier League transfers. He is a collection of various players who are clearly not acknowledged on the site on the basis that seeing that they are not known worldwide, then that would qualify them as not notable. My argument is this: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia for the world therefore it should appeal and cater for the entire world. As a result, the amount of content added may be excessive however, it would obviously serve different purposes for different people. In South Africa, many soccer players are icons in their communities and have fans who span the lengths and breadths of this country. As a result, their notability far out reaches many more people who may have articles written about them. These fans want to find out more about their icons or players journeys, some in order to learn from their trials and tribulations that they went through, others merely knowing their history and realizing that since a particular player came from an area which they grew up in, they to can reach their goals and live those dreams. I have noticed that no one in South Africa has been given the oppurtunity to submit articles on their heros and herones that are playing football, although there is a minor group of these players that is acknowledged. Although some players may be local, they are also afforded recognition and I feel wikipedia should come to the party, especially considering the background of these players. Soccer is the bread and butter of the South African people and as much as wikipedia may feel that Graeme Smith and co are notable, fans of South African soccer also feel that the likes of Jerry Skhosana, Linda Buthelezi, Sizwe Motaung, Bonga Mogale, Pere Ariweriya, Teko Modise, Benedict 'Tso' Vilakazi, Gift LEremi, etc are not given a simple biography explaining where they came from. If you feel my argument lacks no substance, google these names and see how many direct matches appear. If the person is not notable then google will only provide three matches, which would most probably be social networking sites. However, if they are notable, their names would appear in various places including your encyclopedia... that in itself is notability. Please consider this issue seriously as many South African children struggle to find information on their icons when they search wikipedia and this is the forum where they should be able to find out information about the very people they watch playing the sport that they love. It also applies where soccer fanatics in South Africa go through the updated transfer list which is provided and when clicking on a name, cannot find any information on the player because their biographies have been relegated to the 'not notable' pile. Regards.... Psmog (talk) 16:07, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the article did not indicate why the subject was notable. Before resubmitting the article, I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article, writing from a neutral point of view, and supporting your article with independent reliable sources. You may also find this page about the notability of soccer players informative as well. Finally, you should create the article in a sandbox (something like User:Psmog/Sandbox) so that you can work on in before moving it to the mainspace. TNXMan 16:17, 9 September 2009 (UTC)

can you help me

You suggested someone write a neutral page on wikipedia for Brett Salisbury. I think the deletion page has a neutral site now that someone changed. If you google Brett Salisbury, he is the author of the Transform Diet. Can you please take a look at it and look that its now very neutral. I just bought his book. Its outstanding. Can you please take him off the deleted section. Thank you -Mike Wagner (his website is www.transformdiet.com ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.210.42.14 (talk) 09:02, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Gottlieb photos

Yes hello, would like to know some details as to why my uploaded photos were deleted.--Morahman7vn (talk) 02:52, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

They were deleted because they were not licensed properly for use on Wikipedia. The images were tagged "for use on Wikipedia only", but we can only accept images that are licensed for use by anyone.

Perhaps my bot's new homoglyph system is a bit too sensitive.

v=v, 4=a, oj=g, l=i; ri=n, ci=a

I may need to tweak it by removing the oj=g, ri=n, and ci=a. They are not actually used very often. The homoglyph table still needs some adjustments. Chillum 05:19, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

I agree, that one was a little surreal. :) I think that the homoglyph system is actually working out pretty well. The only one one I don't understand is the oj=g (however, I'm not fluent in Internet), but I'm sure as we use it more, we can work out the kinks. Cheers! TNXMan 13:25, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/GENIVI Alliance

A while back you reviewed this submission at AfC, eventually denying it. I don't know if you noticed, but a new user then came along and tried to accept the submission, but did so improperly. I've restored the previous version (from late July) so I was wondering if you'd like to check it out again? I don't think the original author particularly cares at this point, but go wild. ~ Amory (user • talk • contribs) 18:29, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads-up. I've re-reviewed the submission and found that it only has one reliable source (the other three are press releases/official sites). TNXMan 18:46, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

If you do indeed hold the copyright for the material, then you need to follow the instructions on this page. Please remember, however, that all Wikipedia articles must be written from a neutral point of view and cannot promote a company or organization. Furthermore, all articles about organizations must demonstrate why the group is notable (which means something a little different here). TNXMan 11:47, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

The wikipedia article on top nutritonist in the nation Brett Salisbury

How are you. You asked to be more specific about what article that Brett Salisbury was deleted on. It was the wikipedia article Brett Salisbury that seemed slanted or promotional. If you simply go to search box in Brett Salisbury or google his name you will see wikipedia deleted it. Now its been re-written and is a neutral article but is still is the deleted section. (again simple google Brett Salisbury) and you will see the deleted article section. Can you please remove him from this deleted section and back on wikipedia as he is considered the top 5 nutritionists in the united states. Source www.msfitness.com and www.transformdiet.com Thank you -Mike —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.210.42.14 (talk) 07:57, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

It appears you are referring to Brett Salisbury. The article was deleted here almost a year ago and has been picked up by Deletionpedia, a wiki that is not associated with Wikipedia. Furthermore, it appears that Google has cached the article from Deletionpedia in its search results. Unfortunately, there is nothing Wikipedia can do about that. If you would like to submit a new article, you may want to check out either the requested articles page (where you can ask other editors to write your article) or articles for creation (where you can anonymously submit the article yourself and have it reviewed).

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from The Five Killers, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it.

Feinoha ^{Talk, My master} 04:43, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

Les Rouleurs

Hello,

I set-up a "Les Rouleurs" page earlier today however this was deleted. This is a new informal cycle club and we were simply hoping that it would be on wiki.

Did we do something wrong? Or is there something we can do?

Before an organization can have an article on Wikipedia, it must considered notable (N.B - the Wikipedia definition of notability is different than the dictionary defintion).

International Committee for Abrasive Technology

To: Tnxman307

Dear Sir,

I created a page for "International Committee for Abrasive Technology (ICAT)" which has been active since 2002. The symposium ISAAT, organized and sponsored by ICAT, has been a successful yearly event unique for researchers worldwide in the ultra/nano precision machining area. Each time, 80-200 researchers from countries and regions around the world, including Japan, Germany, China, UK, USA, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Russia, Ireland, Singapore, and India, would attend the symposium. The symposium emphasizes on practice techniques to improve precision and efficiency, while also welcomes theoretical examinations of the fabrication processes. Could you restore this page for many of us? Thank you very much.

Pantyhose Game

Hi, I would like to refer to the following reference video that show that the pantyhose game is in fact real: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2MLMQ1JPMk As you can see there are many other related videos. What other supporting documentation should I provide in order for this page to be reinstated?

I'm sorry, but there are two things of which you need to be aware. First of all, Youtube is very rarely a a reliable source. Secondly, the mere fact that something exists does not warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia. It must be considered notable first. If you can demonstrate notability, then there may be enough for an article. TNXMan 20:49, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I originally warned this user about the choice of name. He's replied to my talk page with a reasonable rationale; can you check it out? Cheers. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 12:07, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm leery of unblocking, simply because I think many people find the term offensive. However, if you would like to ask another admin to review the block, I have no problem with it. Cheers! TNXMan 13:51, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi Chris and Tnxman, I declined an earlier unblock, however I agree that asking another admin would be ok. PhilKnight (talk) 19:30, 21 September 2009 (UTC)

Just a heads up, when you blocked this account there are two separate flags that need to be looked at. The one you addressed was an autoblock, (block other users and IPs from editing) and the second which goes hand in hand with that block is account creation Prevent account creation you forgot to uncheck that option which prevented the user from creating a new account. β^_command 20:59, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

re: 67.240.69.23

Just a bit ago, I restored a block notice to the user's talk page, citing WP:BLANKING. But, when I re-read that guideline, I realized that I was mistaken - it appears that block notices are not protected - although the {{ISP}} tag that the user removed earlier does appear to be protected by that guideline. As you had a subsequent edit to the user's talk page, I wanted to check with you before I reverted my restoration of the block notice and re-added the ISP tag. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 16:05, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

No problem. If you'd like to do that, feel free. I disabled the IP's talk page for the duration of the block, as it seemed to me it was being abused. Of course, if you feel that was a step too far, you can undo that part as well. Cheers! TNXMan 17:03, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, so no ability to modify blocks. But, I do agree with it - the user's [final threat] made clear that he was abusing the talk page. I'll go ahead and restore the ISP tag per WP:BLANKING while removing the block notice, which the anon had already acknowledged and removed himself. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:09, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

My article is deleted

Hi, my article has been deleted again, also there is nothing promotional inside, just information. Could you please give me some detailed info on what you want me to change? It't the second time that it has been deleted and I made the changes they told me to do (more sources, names without trademark...)also there are articles like the one of Red Bull or Monster energy drink which are promotional and are still there. I would really appreciate more info. Thanks

I would suggest reading our info on writing your first article, as it contains helpful tips. Also, the sections such as "Hangover and the effect on the economy" and "Ingredients" do not really have a place in an encyclopedia article. The best idea is to work on the article in a sandbox in your userspace (something like User:Julia222/Sandbox) so you can improve it before moving it to the mainspace. TNXMan 16:27, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I will write it again without the mentiond parts, but for example all these articles have the ingredients inside:5-Hour Energy, Red Bull, Lost Energy and many more and they are not deleted, even though they are just talking about the product.

Like I mentioned, it would probably be best if you wrote in the sandbox first. This will allow other editors to offer opinions before you move it to the mainspace. TNXMan 17:24, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

question about "World Hunger Relief" page edits

Hi, I noticed that you made edits to the "World Hunger Relief" page. Some of what was removed is relevant to World Hunger Relief campaign. I'm trying to find outside sources to reference, but many of the sources refer back to fromhungertohope.com and yum.com websites. The other best available sources are online newspaper articles from previous years that require subscriptions to view the source. Is that acceptable? The 2009 campaign starts next week and I will add 3rd party sources as they become available. Please share any suggestions on how I can make the page better while achieving my goal of containing more information. Thank you. Your guidance is appreciated.

ToniEwton (talk) 19:25, 1 October 2009 (UTC)

Adam Anicich

Tnxman307,

I am writing an article on someone that I was in the Army with and with whom I worked for in the past. He has done some random things, but I think I know enough about him to write a page that is good enough to publish. I read up about writing your first article and have had some success. Unfortunately, I wrote that article first. I reposted it about 5 times, but it was deleted every time. Finally, you deleted it and protected the page so I cannot edit it anymore. Is there anyway that you can unprotect the page - I have (what I believe to be a quality article) that I want to post that clearly articulates why he is notable, what he did, and his relation to various subjects. I promise that it will be a good addition to Wikipedia and that I wont let you down.

Thanks.

Illegal usernames

Personally I think this approach [3] counts as biting Newbies, especially after only a single edit. I think you should really offer to move the account to a new name to them, it may be a little more work but is generally much less contra WP:BITE. --BozMo talk 18:38, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

The template used is plenty less bitey than the one that would otherwise be used, {{spamusername}} Triplestop x3 19:22, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

This template is NOT bitey. I dunno what that was all about. Tan | 39 19:24, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Not the wording of the template but the process. Why do you block an account with a single edit rather than offer to move it to another name? That seems pretty bitey to me. --BozMo talk 20:26, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

Actually, they had more than one edit, creating an article (HELP Foundation) which was deleted. I hope the template I used was pretty clear, in that accounts that appear to represent more than one person are not allowed. However, if the user would like to post an unblock request or send me an email, I'd be happy to point them in the right direction. TNXMan 00:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I thought I checked for deleted edits but I guess I missed it. Anyway, the trouble with this generous offer to the newbie is that they are unlikely to see it and we don't really know how to find out who is was although they did an anon edit as an IP just beforehand. That's kind of why we dialogue before we bite... please don't take the criticism as personal though, I have blocked loads of SPA spam accounts more aggresively. I just wonder if we can review our policy on naming with a clear aim to keep the editor where possible. --BozMo talk 07:15, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

There has been a lot of discussion on this issue, both at WT:UAA and WT:U. However, I don't really think a consensus has been reached, as there is a difficult balance to strike between legitimate concerns of newbie biting and blocking SPAs and spammers. If you would like to contribute there, please do, as more input may help provide a clearer picture. Personally, the way I read the policy and consensus, accounts that use a company name are blocked, but with the nicest block template available. It's not a perfect situation, but its as close as I can determine. Cheers! TNXMan 13:33, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

I may be wrong but wasn't this the latest AFD, which resulted in no consensus? If so it should not have been deleted as a G4.--Michig (talk) 15:31, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Please not a hoax it is simply I think a silly way of saying Bogan which people are using in my area. I do not want to be listed as a vandal. On google I got 1,550 hits though it seems on closer inspection most are people using it as a handle etc. --Interestedindividual (talk) 15:58, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

If that's the case, it would appear to be a neologism as well, and not appropriate for Wikipedia. You may have better luck posting on this site. TNXMan 16:00, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Is neologism different to protologism? I don't care so much about the article as the incredible response I've had for it. When I posted about Numinosum some time ago I got a lovely welcome and tips etc. I seem to have fallen foul immediately with this new post people are assuming ill intent. OK so now I know the word or concept doesn't warrant an article and I also suspect it is in fact a silly way of saying Bogan another slang term? But I hope future posts get a more kindly response from fellow users. I also hope not to be wrongly accused of sock whatevering.--Interestedindividual (talk) 16:18, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello, Tnxman307. You have new messages at Hell in a Bucket's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

Why did you delete my page?

Dear Tnxman307:

You deleted my page recently posted stating factually information about our company and products. I wrote it very generically and factually without the use of marketing or promotional terms. I provided links to validify the contents including ones to the FDA and DoD.

I'd like your comments as to what you felt was not good with the page. I looked at several companies that are actually our competition and did nothing different than any of them.

Regards, Mary K. Williams (talk) 14:03, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but your article did not indicate why the company is notable. I would suggest reading our page on writing your first article and how to use reliable sources to support it. Furthermore, you should also read our info on conflicts of interest and why you should not edit an article if you have one. TNXMan 14:30, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Follow up to - why did you delete my page

Dear Tnxman307 I appreciate your feedback and reviewed, as you suggested, 'notable'. Per the definition provided it gave: Notable means "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice." It is not synonymous with "fame" or "importance." Please consider notable and demonstrable effects on culture, society, entertainment, athletics, economies, history, literature, science, or education.

Quite clearly we are not famous but indeed fulfill "worthy of being noted" or "attracting notice". Take for instance our certifications. The FDA and DoD recognize us. Furthermore we have notable effects on any number of the areas mentioned above. We have published studies done in prominent magazines.

If you would kindly review "OnBase" and "LaserFiche" you will recognize that they are no more notable than DocuWare; we all do the same thing and they are indeed listed. I appreciate your time and feedback. I wish you a nice weekend.

Regards Mary K. Williams (talk) 21:00, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Ms. Williams, the problem is you are taking the first portion of the definition of "notable", which is not exactly what we use here. I see you omit the second part, which is, "Determining notability does not necessarily depend on things like fame, importance, or the popularity of a topic." In order to be "worthy of being noted", we don't use subjectivity to determine it - you say you "indeed fulfill" this, but by what criteria? Does anyone who sells a ware or a service fulfill notability requirements? Well, here at Wikipedia, we have set forth specific notability criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia, as we are not just an indiscriminate collection of information. There is a set of criteria for organizations, put forth at WP:CORP. Please read this (rather lengthy) guideline page carefully. If you still think that this topic merits inclusion here, you need to be prepared to specifically state exactly how this organization meets the inclusion criteria. As it is, there is no indication that it does. However, perhaps you can tell us how we're wrong.

As an aside, by your use of "we", it seems you are affiliated with the organization. While this is not specifically prohibited, it is a bit frowned upon as your motive for wanting this article included is suspect. Is it simply to provide information for the advancement of human knowledge, or is there a conflict of interest here (please click that link) - does your organization stand to gain profit, monetary or otherwise, from the exposure? Please think this over carefully as well. Thanks for your time; I'm here to help, as is Tnxman307. Tan | 39 22:23, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

You blocked User: Garydubh on the report of User: Bastun

he removed an entry on the basis that it was written by User:Garydubh - it was not - he is completely incorrect - please talk to the user who made the entry directly and avoid unfounded and unverified allegations in the future - doubt if he made any effort to check this out - just jumped to an assumption. Furthermore allegations that that user had COI entries in this aricle are also incorrect - the user has made no contribution to discussion on this article since Jan 2009 and has had not entry in the article since April 2008 - you used this as a justification for blocking the user - again completley incorrect and unfounded. The user in question has no further interest in this article.

He made reference to a personal name in association with the accused user - the personal name is not a user name - do not use it here again.

He made reference to a company name in a derogatory manner implying that there was some issue with the work of the company - do not do so again.

Finally, if the article is about the official postcode system of Ireland - then the article should be removed as there is no official postcode system in Ireland yet and the provision of such is subject to an open tender comeptition which wikipedia discussion may prejudice and undermine and open yourselves and wikipedia to legal action.

Please do not mention relevant user name, personal name, company name or product name on the article or related discussion without the permission of the relevant owners. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.70.108.125 (talk) 22:48, 23 October 2009 (UTC)

Question from JIm Pastore, Headmster of Island Academy International School

Dear Wikipedia monitor,

I am wondering why you deleted the entry for our school? I looked at the rules, and I did not post anything that is promotional. I did of course mention that our bursary program (which provides very poor children with admission to the school) exists due to donations from donors... but only did so in the context of explaining an integral part of our school, that of donations making it possible for poor children to go to our school. And this makes us very, very different from any other international school I know of.

I would love for you to take the time to answer me to explain why the article was deleted... I feel that having our school on the Wikipedia site is justifiable as I want to enable people looking for our school to be able to understand how we can do what we do for so many children.

I look forward to your reply as I also look forward to the reposting of our school page on wikipedia- of course respecting the rules and with your help!

Thank you and have a wonderful rest of your weekend. Sincerely, Jimperuzzo (talk) 15:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Jim Pastore, Headmaster, Island Academy International School two emails: <blanked>

I'm sorry, but Wikipedia does not allow promotional material to be posted here. Phrases like "It is both rich and broad. Consistent with our mission, we provide classroom experiences that prepare students not only for university admission, but also for life as responsible citizens of a complex and changing world." have no place in a neutrally written encyclopedia. Also, since you have a conflict of interest regarding the subject, you are highly discouraged from writing/editing articles about the school. Finally, please read our info on notability and what makes a subject worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. (I have blanked your email addresses to prevent the web-crawling spambots from picking them up.) TNXMan 15:43, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

That is a real shame. Of course when a school posts its mission statement, phrases such as the ones you object to will come up- mission statements inevitably use such language, and it would be remiss of a school article to not have the mission statement. I also agree that in general the "owner" of a company should not post about it on a site like Wikipedia. But how else am I do to so? Direct someone to do so? At other schools there is general someone who is a school employee who does the posting to Wikipedia... so perhaps my transparency is the problem in actually doing it myself on a Sunday morning.

Is it possible to repost and take out the offensive words "rich and broad"?

PS - thank you for watching out for me regarding spam. I don't usually worry about spam with my yahoo address as the filters are quite good, but of course I want to eliminate spam on our school sever where possible. Thank you.

I'm sorry, but the way the article was written would not be appropriate for Wikipedia. Mission statements should generally not be included in articles, as the goal is provide a neutral article that is based on independent third-party reliable sources. Your best bet, if you would like an article to be posted, is to read our guide to writing your first article and post a draft of the article in a sandbox in your userspace (something like User:Jimperuzzo/Sandbox). After you've written the draft, you can ask another editor to review it for you. TNXMan 16:01, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

I will do so on the sandbox. But as a very young school it is hard to have many 3rd party references/reliable sources to refer to. Thank you for your help. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jimperuzzo (talk • contribs) 16:10, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Mainly this article is an attempt to legitimize water-fueled car scams. The subject matter it deals with is on electrolysis of water and oxyhydrogen.

Anna Odell

Hi, the page Anna Odell should exist on english wp. Her act (work) is the most discussed "art-work" in Sweden in recent yerars. See the swedish wp. http://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anna_Odell

Anna Odell Article

• Article in the biggest newspaper in Sweden, Dagens Nyheter, [4]

• Also in DN: [5]

• Also in DN: [6]

Her work in Kalmar Art Museum, [7]

"As the first art institution in Sweden, Kalmar Art Museum will show the continuation of a work that has been one of the most discussed artworks in Sweden the last decade; the work by Anna Odell titled Okänd Kvinna 349701 (Unknown Woman 340701). On the 21st of January this year the artist simulated a mentally ill person on Liljeholmsbron in Stockholm, police was called by passing members of the public and she was taken to the emergency psychiatric unit of St Görans hospital in Stockholm, where she was admitted, put on medication, and placed in a restraining belt. It was not until the following day that Odell told the staff at the hospital that she had simulated the event and that it was part of a future art project that was going to be presented at the Graduation show at Konstfack in the spring of 2009. With her work Odell wishes to discuss and investigate Swedish mental healthcare, of which she has personal experience. Okänd Kvinna 349701 is based on an earlier episode in her life. This work was going to become one of the most debated art projects in Sweden and together with the video created by NUG called Territorial Pissing and the work by Oscar Guermouche called Vi vill åka till Moskva (We want to go to Moscow) they have now become known as “The Konstfack scandals”. There are a number of aspects to the art work of Anna Odell that gives complexity to her work, a number of possible interpretations and also many ambiguities. The actions of Odell can well be seen as a way to deal with past experiences and also as criticism of an area of which she has previous and extensive knowledge. But it can also be seen as an example of a private individual that fights back against a large institutional apparatus of power in today’s society. A case of David fighting Goliath. Maybe the discussions that has risen because of her work is a consequence of the fact that many of the institutions in society such as the artworld, mental health care and the education system – all with their own worldview and inner logic –are clashing internally as well as externally. The official institutions of society are here clashing with each other. It’s about who owns the preferential right of interpretation to define care, and about who is ill and who is not. But also in equal measures who has the preferential right of interpretation of what is allowed in art and what is to be viewed as quality. Even the legal system has hit back from its own inner logic and Odell is now being prosecuted for “False alarm”, “Fierce resistance” and “Antisocial behaviour”. The whole thing has turned into a gigantic struggle between some large institutions of society, a struggle about who ultimately has the preferential right of interpretation. In the end, the works of Odell can be seen as a discussion about what is possible within the field of art. A discussion that to a large extent has been taking place outside the established art world. What is art about? For who is art made? What sort of art is it that we want, really? Has the artist some kind of freedom? Artists, doctors, ministers, critics, civil servants, politicians, philosophers and well-known and not so well-known columnists, editors, bloggers and so on have been giving us their views from a number of varying positions and perspectives. This debate has in many ways been able to demonstrate what kind of cultural climate we have in Sweden today."

YES! International

Could you offer any advice for the page you recently deleted for the charity YES! international. It had been posted for aproximately 6 minutes and while I was writing the hold-on tag/message, the page was deleted.

I am a beginner with Wikipedia, have read (and thought I understood) the guidelines, but could still use some help or advice about improving the article (or if it is ever possible to meet the guidelines).

For some of these following reasons, I thought the charity might be notable:

• In the 80's the charity hosted some large, well publicized events celebrity events to bring toys to needy children in San Francisco and Timmins Ontario.
• Was recognized by United Nations, Unicef, and UNEP as an Internet Exemplar. (Canadian Who's Who - University of Toronto Press)
• Participation on the Board by first CEO of Air Canada (his bio is on Wikipedia) and former CEO of Heinz foods
• Ongoing work around the world and
• annual awards styled along the lines of Nobel prize

Also, As I don't expect you to "do all the work", are there other place(s) where I can ask for help in writing the article/offer the topic as a suggestion?

If so, is it appropriate to post the deleted article in my personal space while in development and can this be shared with potential authors?

Thanks for any help.

John.

Vzmedia (talk) 01:14, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the article was written like an advertisement. Furthermore, there were no independent reliable sources that demonstrated why the organization is notable. I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article. You may want to re-write the article in a sandbox in your userspace (something like User:Vzmedia/Sandbox) so you may work on improving it. Finally, the fact that your username matches a website design company leads me to believe that YES! may be one of your clients. If that is the case, the guidelines set out here may apply to you. TNXMan 02:24, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for you input.

• I will change my user name a.s.a.p., as this has nothing to do with clients (I'm unemployed) or web design - I just thought this was a helpful and straight-forward topic for a first article. Is this possible, or should I just register again with a more plain name?
  

I will post the article in a sandbox and ask for further input but please clarify if possible - I'd rather not spend time on an impossible task as I've already spent two days reviewing the guidlines and researching each point.

• You mention " was written like an advertisement " but there was nothing to sell and it was written as a chronological history of the organization. What part should change to avoid being considered an advertisement?
  
• It seems I should include more detailed information on sources - I agree. I referenced the recognition by United Nations, Unicef, and UNEP. I checked their filings with the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency before I started and their budget is a few million (so as not to be a small group as defined in the notability guidelines). The University of Toronto Press includes a reference in their encyclopedic "Who's Who of Canada" that I can add. There are awards from America Online and Yahoo but they are for the website and not the organization (so I left that out). There is little news coverage for this charity as they are rather small, but the Wikipedia notability guidlines state that being small should not prevent inclusion. Does it seem worth a second try or will these sources clearly not meet the standard for reliable sources ?.
  

Thanks Vzmedia (talk) 03:21, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

First of all, let me say that by asking these questions, you're already far ahead of other article authors here. The thing to look for in sources is a)independence (cannot be published by the subject itself) and b) significant coverage (must be more than passing mentions). The Who's Who probably won't meet the significant coverage part. Are there any news articles or published interviews about them? Those would go a long way towards covering both bases.

Secondly, the advertising. All Wikipedia material must be written from a neutral point of view. Paragraphs like

"In 1992, Friday's Child International's first satellite hook-up between New York City and Toronto, Canada, became an experimental success in effectively using interactive television as a means of enhancing communication between youth in all corners of the world. FCI's young people quickly became the stars and producers of their own media deliberation on the social ills they were facing.

If you mean this page, you'll see the deletion log clearly marked. Secondly, calling someone names isn't a good strategy when you're asking questions.

Appeal: Deletion of the page Tony Wang

I understand that the problem with the page Tony Wang was that it was not considered that this fashion designer was notable enough. I did not get time to finish citing additional sources to meet this requirement. Now the page is gone. How can I create a page and populate it with enough content if I don't get enough time? How can I create the page for Tony Wang? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zelysion (talk • contribs) 02:42, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

The best idea is to re-write the article in a sandbox in your userspace (something like User:Zelysion/Sandbox). This will allow you to properly write the article. You can then ask another editor to review it before you move it to the mainspace. TNXMan 02:45, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

It looks better, but it still needs a lot of cleanup. The "Early Life" section should probably be pared down quite a bit, as most of the info isn't supported by reliable sources. The "Fashion Designer" section, as it stands, should probably be completely removed, as there are no references there at all. The last section seems the most supported, but could be cleaned up some. Do you have a reference for the part about the Bloomingdale's VP? The mentions of the two ladies he interviewed don't hold up as much, since they don't have articles here and being a #1 search result isn't an indication of notability. Finally, you shouldn't use the subject's own website as a reference. I hope this helps. TNXMan 11:34, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Follow up to - why did you delete my page (2)

Hi Tnxman307. I have read in detail all the pages you suggested and would continue to debate my position. To answer your question would be difficult because I do not believe there is a yes or no answer. I’d like to think that I’m not alone in the world since I believe in “maybes” and “what ifs” :-).

To further my discussion with you on notability I offer the following for your review. Is it not notable when something (either a product or service or idea) is bettering our culture and ultimately forming history? This generation and I dare say, these times, are yearning to do what it can help the ecology and better our standards of living. Why not look towards the future by improving daily work habits so that we can enjoy life and allow time for creativity? I challenge you to ask yourself: what if there was something that could help the healthcare industry to lower costs and provide better care? What would the impact be? Is this not something society would refer to today and maybe tomorrow or maybe even next year?

I totally agree that Wiki is not for advertising. Stating true facts that are referene points for knowledge is what I would think Wiki was searching for. This is all I offered in my posting.

I await your reply. 24.39.153.124 (talk) 15:59, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

It may be notable in the larger sense of the word, but Wikipedia has a much narrower definition of what makes something notable (and thus worthy of inclusion). In order to be notable according to Wikipedia, a subject must have received significant coverage in independent reliable sources. If the article cannot offer that, then it cannot be posted here. As Tan mentioned in the section above, the relevant page to review is here. You should also read our info on writing from a neutral point of view. TNXMan 17:10, 27 October 2009 (UTC)

Michael Brendel Sr Deletion

Hey!

I was just wondering why you deleted the Michael Brendel Sr page I made. I read the article that Wikipedia put up about it's speedy deletion, but thought I added enough stuff to correct it.

The page that they tell you to go to said that the person I was writing about needed to be a scholar or have recieved a notable award or honor. I added that he had received a Bachelor’s and a Master’s in Theology and later acquired Doctorate Degrees in Ministry and Divinity. I also said that Mr. Brendel was written about in the Who's Who in America two years in a row while living in West Virginia. While in WV, he started a Bible college, Mountain State Baptist College. He also was the Principal of a Christian School for two years and an Administrator for six.

I was just wondering if I could try to make the page again and see what they say. Thanks!!!! Tales From Thaer (talk) 01:17, 28 October 2009 (UTC)Tales From Thaer

Sockpuppet? Farrier and horse hoof articles

Tnxman, FYI I saw that you blocked the user name "American Farriers Association." No sooner did you do so than someone created User:AFA-CJF and immediately began editing more horse hoof-related articles (Laminitis, etc...check contribs). I can tell you that the AFA is a real organization, and mainstream, but no idea, of course, if this user actually has anything to do with the group (the creation of a sockpuppet hints that they are not.). Your call what you want to do about this username, and I will review the actual edits (I'm one of the "hardcore" members of WPEQ) for content, but figured that as you stuck on the block of the first user and the new one may well be a sockpuppet of the first, you'd want to know. Montanabw^(talk) 02:34, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

It is indeed a sock, as indicated here. However, the block I set on the original account did not limit account creation, as my hope was that they would create an account whose username was not associated with the group. I have left the new account a COI notice. If you would like to report this elsewhere (possibly WP:COIN?), I have no objection to another admin stepping in, but I don't think it's a blatant username vio. Thanks for the heads up! TNXMan 03:05, 28 October 2009 (UTC)

For now I'll leave it be, the edits were mildly POV but not harmful and I have tweaked them to tone down the peacock wording. Perhaps they will come back and learn the culture here, the horse hoof articles could actually benefit from some expert input. We'll wait and see. Montanabw^(talk) 00:14, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

GCC6

Hello Tnxman307! This is Khalidco who is the author of the page GCC6 that was quickly deleted for no expressed reason. The indication of importance of this page is far greater than what can be measured from someone in Australia for example. The page will provide information about a web site that is going to serve a large population in the Arabian Gulf (GCC) countries in ways that have not been available not too long ago. Further reading of A7 makes me wonder if we are both looking at the same page. I am the develper of that site and you can verify that using tools such a domaintools.com which will display to you the adminstrative contact person's email. The same emil is used when I registered with WIKIPEDIA. I plan to add to it and improve the appearanse as we go along. It would be nice to see stats about visitors and locations in this universe. If you know a way to do that, please let me know.

Khalid

p.s. I think you should've replied to my previous response or at least respect the hang-on tag that I've placed before you killed it.

Hello.. I have modified gcc6 and placed it in user:khalidco/sandbox. I've always seen pages on wiki that are still not yet complete. Moreover, the reason for the deletion is specified as A7 related. I am sure that there are so many existent pages that you can arguably tag for that criteria or another. Please look at the modified page in the sanbox folder and let me know if it is acceptable to wiki admins. It would be very useful to wiki visitors who can benefit from the site's services.

Hi. You recently blocked Leroycronin (talk · contribs) and his sockpuppet account Roy Cronin (talk · contribs), both of which were used to vandalise the BLP Leroy Cronin. It seems he is back editing from 82.132.139.138. Should the IP also be blocked? Or perhaps the article would benefit from protection for a short while? I requested semi protection at WP:RPP yesterday but it was declined. Barret (talk) 17:43, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Hmm. I only see one edit from this morning. If the IP persists, then a block is definitely in order. Let me know if it keeps up. Cheers! TNXMan 17:56, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Follow up up (6)

Hi Tnxman307: Thank you for your input on the articles. I will work on the article page in the near future, too much on my plate today. Just a question, once you deleted my other article page, is it gone forever or can you put it live again so I don't have to start at ground zero? Figured it was worth a shot to just edit the one I started last time. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. P.S. I may have another article, how does this work moving forward, do I just add it to the list on my article page with a link and they it is reviewed by someone at Wiki (I am assuming that if it's ok, it stays but what happens if you don't like it, does the entire DocuWare page go away or just the one listing? I appreciate your help to a newbie.24.39.153.124 (talk) 22:09, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

Bob Flanagan

You apparently marked a picture for deletion on Bob Flanagan's page, and I was curious to how come?

I found the image and uploaded it, with what I assume was the correct manner and I did leave the source with where I found it. I have an email from the photographer saying it was okay to use it here and since it's a picture of Bob Flanagan and one not copy-righted, there is no fault with it.

If there is a problem with the way I submitted it, I would like to correct that so I can reassert the image, as it improves the page's quality significantly. I would love to work this out and help improve the page. I have been trying to do something for a while, but I seem to keep hitting failures.

It appears that you simply used the wrong license. The license you used indicated that the work is only permitted to be used on Wikipedia. Any free content uploaded to Wikipedia must (basically) be licensed to anyone to use for anything. If you review the directions at (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Upload&uselang=en-withpermission&wpUploadDescription={{Information%0A+%7CDescription++++=+%0A+%7CSource+++++++++=+%0A+%7CDate+++++++++++=+01:42), you'll see that Wikipedia needs information from the original copyright holder indicating this license.

Nate Bynham

Ok, I just decided to add the prod tag. I just gotta ask though how does it not meet criteria for speedy deletion. All the article is is a one sentence description. It doesnt explain how he is notable whatsoever.--Yankees10 00:21, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

It doesn't meet A1, as it clearly establishes the context for the article. An A1 article would be something that consisted of "He is a funny man with a red car. He makes people laugh." It also doesn't really meet A7, as it least claims importance (not notability, which is a higher threshold). If you have questions about speedy deletion tags as you review pages, feel free to drop me a line and I'll be happy to help. TNXMan 00:23, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Ok thanks, I ask because a while back I remember when the speedy was added and all it was was a sentence that didnt establish notability, it would most likely be deleted. Did requirements change or something.--Yankees10 00:28, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, that's just it. An article doesn't have to establish notability to avoid speedy deletion, it simply has to make a claim of importance. That requirement has been in effect since I started here a couple of years ago. TNXMan 00:30, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

The Sound of Speed (band) page deletion

Hi Tnxman307... The reason why it appears that some of the text in the sound of speed (band) posting is similar to the thestranger.com website is because I wrote both pages. Is there an issue of me using the same work for both? What is the process I need to follow to have my page reinstated?

Project Kaiser deletion

Reason for first deletion was: Non-notable software, advertising Passportguy, Delete - no coverage about this software in reliable sources. Now article does have references and written unbiased, so not sure why you dropped it. German.lutoff (talk) 19:29, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

The "references" were just links to download pages. Haakon (talk) 19:31, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The article was deleted because it was substantially identical to the version deleted in an articles for deletion discussion. If you would like to recreate the page, please do so in a sandbox first and ask another editor to review it before posting it to the mainspace. As it is, the article had no significant coverage in independent reliable sources. TNXMan 19:33, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Per this, the article history shows that "the author of the only substantial content has requested deletion in good faith, either explicitly or by blanking the page" is exactly what happened. I42 (talk) 22:04, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

I agree that the author requested deletion, but I think the article has moved beyond the point where they can request deletion like that. There have been (albeit minor) contributions from other editors and the article appears notable enough. If I were to delete it, I would simply recreate as my own creation, so I just skipped all of the steps in between. TNXMan 22:07, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedily Deletion

"This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia."

I send you an essay explaining why Diego Jacobson is important and significant. He's the next Jackson Pollock!

But until he is (and his art is covered in independent reliable sources), he really shouldn't have an article on Wikipedia. See writing your first article for more info. TNXMan 22:23, 7 November 2009 (UTC)

Diego Jacobson has had 27 solo shows around the world, with 28 being his upcoming exhibition at DLC Fine Art in Chelsea NY.

2010 “Museography of the Soul,” DLC Fine Arts, Chelsea, New York, United States 2007 Florence Biennale, Palacio da Basso, Florence, Italy 2007 “Off the Main” Fair, Puck Building, New York, United States 2007 “In the Light of God,” Joe Hintersteiner Gallery, New York, United States 2006 “Off the Main” Fair, Puck Building, New York, United States 2006 Arclinea, Boston, Massachusetts, United States 2006 Centro Cultural Borges, “Memories of God,” Buenos Aires, Argentina 2005 Crisolart Galleries, Copenhagen, Denmark 2005 Arte Fama, Almeria, Spain 2005 JMA Gallery - Act Center of Fine Art, Vienna, Austria 2005 Camaver Kunsthaus Gallery, Lecco, Italy 2005 Sala Barna, Barcelona, Spain 2005 “Off the Main” Fair, Puck Building, New York, United States 2004 “Passage into Spirit”, Galería Principal de Altos de Chavón, La Romana, Dominican Republic 2004 VYP Gallery, Buenos Aires, Argentina 2004 Caguas Art Museum, Caguas, Puerto Rico 2004 “Off the Main” Fair, Puck Building, NewYork, United States 2003 “Movimiento del Espíritu”, Galerías Prinardi, San Juan, Puerto Rico 2003 ART MIAMI Internacional Art Fair 2003, Miami Beach Convention Center, Miami, FL 2003 ARTEAMERICAS, Latin American Art Fair, Coconut Grove Convention Center, Miami, FL 2003 Amalgama Space Gallery, Brussels, Belgium 2003 Latin American Art Museum, Miami, United States 2002 “Eclectic, Color Vibrations,” Galería de la Calle Cristo, San Juan, Puerto Rico 2002 “Eclectic, Total Energy,” Museo de las Casas Reales, Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic 2002 “Eclectic, Total Energy,” Museo de Arte Maestro Cándido Bido, Bonao, Dominican Republic 2002 “Eclectic, Total Energy,” Casa de Cultura de Santiago, Santiago de los Caballeros, Dominican Republic 2002 Museum of Contemporary Art of the Municipality of Cuzco, Peru 2002 “Palmas del Mar” Exhibition Space, Humacao, Puerto Rico

Diego Jacobson has work in 3 renowned museums, work in the cultural Amalgama Space in Brussels, and has sold work to prominent collectors in Buenos Aires, England, Puerto Rico, and the United States

Amalgama Space, Brussels Caguas Art Museum, P.R. Museum Casas Reales, D.R. Museum of Contemporary Art of the Municipality of Cuzco, Peru

Diego Jacobson has also had extensive critical acclaim, including, but not limited to, the following publications:

ARTnews Art in America Arte al Dia Art Premium Artnexus Boston Globe

Last, but not least, Diego Jacobson has published 7 books:

Color Vibrations Eclectic, Total Energy Memories of God Passage into Spirit Diego Jacobson, Volume 1 Diego Jacobson, Volume 2 Diego Jacobson, Volume 3

This more than explains why Diego Jacobson should have a Wikipedia article, and his art has been covered in independent reliable sources).

Gary William

I have never submitted anything to Wikipedia, and now seeing it as being quite harsh but understandable. I believe the person is notable and worthy that he should be on Wikipedia. Hes a famous psychic medium in the northeast region.

According to A7 - An article about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (e.g. band, club, company, etc., except schools), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

It states that maybe I need to put up more reliable sources to make it factual. What do you suggest? And also can I get a copy of the text on the page since it took me 3 hours to figure out how to enter it in Wikipedia code.

Hidden Villa

Why did you take down the page - I entered {{hangon}} and two notes - the first that CorenBot was in error, as I had permission from Hidden Villa (I visited them two days ago to get permission to put a page up for them) and the second that I had already started rewriting it, and adding additional material and references to avoid possible copyright violation of coyping from the hidden villa website. Moments later, it went down.

First of all, we have no evidence at all that you contacted the website and have permission. If that is the case, you need to follow the instructions on this page. Secondly, the page was also blatantly advertising for Hidden Villa. I would encourage you to read our info on writing your first article, as that may have info that can help you. TNXMan 22:29, 8 November 2009 (UTC)

Because I just created the page this am, my first draft was heavily copied from their website which is why it looked like advertising. I have been rewriting it all day. Now I see that I should have started construction in the Sandbox. Can you please return the text to me as a Word doc or whatever means works best for you so that I can re-post it in the Sandbox and rework it.

Reasoning

Hello Tnxman307, I don't think you understood my reason. This is not an excuse but a complaint that the user has been deleting the edit over and over. I demand that a third person to see it themselves and they will see the truth of it. Willbender (talk) 12:51, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Reasoning for what? TNXMan 12:53, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

The reasoning that the user is consistently ignoring the warnings and messages sent by deleting them rather than replying to my warnings. I don't want this to happen but if they don't talk to you and just send it back, they just don't want to make any attempt to resolve the matter. Willbender (talk) 12:56, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Can I also make the actual note? I saw the episode of Australia's Apprentice, Sam got fired, but User:Mybottomreallyhurts keeps editing that Gavin got fired and Eventus didn't win. Can you please help me with this edit issue? That user isn't willing to cooperate and I'm not used to dealing with editing conflicts. Willbender (talk) 13:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

If they keep adding incorrect information, even after being warned, then you can report them to AIV. I think that's the best way to handle it. TNXMan 13:44, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

PACE submission

Hi - I'm hoping you can send me the original file for the PACE submission that was deleted last week so that I may address some of the concerns you had with it and try to repost. Could you also possibly tell me specifically what you thought was too promotional?

Thanks. Siegelt (talk) 20:56, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but I don't feel comfortable restoring the information, since it is almost entirely copied/pasted from this website. Wikipedia cannot accept such materials, as it is copyrighted. To see why it was considered promotional, please read our info on advertising, writing neutrally, and peacock terms. TNXMan 21:20, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I know. They are my client. I am posting it for them. Is there some proof you need from them that they would like this posted? Other than that, I can address the promotional issues if you can send me the original file.

Thanks, Siegelt (talk) 23:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

In that case, you have a conflict of interest, which means you shouldn't be posting it all. Wikipedia is not a place to promote organizations, either by posting the material from their website or by doing a write up for them. TNXMan 23:07, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

So, I can't even have a chance to "write an article on an area in which you are personally involved, be sure to write in a neutral tone and cite reliable, third-party published sources, and beware of unintentional bias." I don't need to write it in a biased way or use peacock terms, I would just like to post some basic information about them.

Thanks, Siegelt (talk) 23:17, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Then I think the best place to go would be the articles for creation page. This will allow other editors to review the page before it's posted. TNXMan 23:19, 9 November 2009 (UTC)

Australian Sailing Magazine wiki page - deletion

Hi I have reworked the ASM wiki page, making it as straight and factual as possible. I have also added some references. It truly is the only yacht racing magazine for all of Australia and therefore a notable publication. I hope the edits satisfies your stringent requirements!

Unfortunately the website has not been up for very long. It has just been accepted by Google News as a worthy news source and we're sorting out the xml sitemap now.

BTW Yaffa Publishing was established in 1928, one of the few major independent publishing houses in Australia. We publish 30 magazines (both consumer and trade). Some of our mags are very niche.

Block of Brews Ohare

Tnxman307, you wrote:

Decline reason: "I'm sorry, but the terms of your topic ban were clear. If you wish to be unblocked before the set expiration time of the block, you'll need to make a convincing argument that you did not violate the topic ban.

I think that Brews' did not violate his topic ban when interpreted reasonably. The topic ban means that Brews cannot participate in editing physics articles and participate in physics talk page disussions. I've made it clear a few times that this was unjustified, but that's my personal opinion. Brews must, of course, stick to his topic ban. Now, a problem with this topic ban is that physics is a huge field and that Brews is even banned from mentioning things even remotely connected to physics.

Under these circumstances, I would say that it is reasonable to not be overly pedantic. So, while Brews should not seek the boundaries of his topic ban by e.g. correcting a typo on a physics age, Brews should still be allowed to very briefly respond to a comment like he did here if he does his best to avoid to discuss any physics.

Now, Finell knows about Brews topic ban and he has been trying to convince Brews to make edits to articles and stay away from becomeing involved in Wiki policies. I am more positive about Brews being involved here, because I fear that Brews may leave Wikipedia altoghether if we tell him he can't do that eiter. Anyway, Finell, knowing about Brew's topic ban, decided to bring up the speed of light Arbcom case by commenting:

This proposed essay appears to be based on the unstated misconception that Wikipedia's policies, guidelines, and processes broke down in the Speed of light arbitration. It is understandable that editors who were sanctioned feel that way. Nevertheless, that case dealt appropriately with editors who were violating Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and thereby disrupting the project of writing an encyclopedia. —Finell (talk) 17:45, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

If you are Brews and you want to deny this, how are you going to do that? If you are reasonable then you have to allow Brews some space, albeit it minimal, to very briefly in a few words address this and do that in such a way as to avoid discussing any physics. And that is exactly what he did. He did gave two links which were relevant to the issue at hand and he avoided discussing any physics.

So, I would say that Brews did his best to stay within the boundaries of his topic ban. If you were in his position, you would have wanted to give a more detailed reply, so clearly an effort was made on his part to not do that. And that's precisely the purpose of the topic ban.

Had Brews gone to a physics page and corrected a typo, then that would have been a deliberate action. He would have had the reasonable choice not to do that. So, while in a certain sense he would have made a smaller physics related edit, it would still have been a far more grave violation of his topic ban. Count Iblis (talk) 21:23, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Your argument is very clear. However, Brews original unblock request looked like this. There's no substance to it beyond an accusation of unfairness. That was the only reason I declined the unblock: there was no argument of any substance. That said, the current unblock request is much more thorough and should be evaluated appropriately. I do not have time to do so now, but if the request is still up in a couple of hours, I will do so then. TNXMan 21:34, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello Tnxman. You and I have both declined unblock requests from this editor. I don't see any forward progress in the discussion, so do you think it is now time to disable his Talk page access?

EdJohnston (talk) 05:04, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Trying to understand deletion policy

Hi,

My page 'TrustTone' was deleted according to the deletion policy (A7). This message is not to contest it but to understand the policy better. Since this was my first article it was 'modeled' after 'Zix_Corporation', 'Entrust' and 'Echoworx' pages. How is my approach different than these pages which are not deleted? (I am not suggesting that they should be deleted.)

I will appreciate if you can guide me here.

Thanks,

On Awapatent in the category "Intellectual Property Law Firms

Hi!

My page on Awapatent was deleted since it didn't indicate how or why the subject was important or significant. Sorry, my mistake, I'm a new editor and am not very familiar with Wikipedia yet. I'd like to place the page as a subpage in the category "Intellectual Property Law Firms", because I think I contribute with useful information in this category by writing about Awapatent. Can you help me "undeleting" my page and put it in the category "Intellectual Property Law Firms"?

Thank you! 212.247.99.161 (talk) 13:22, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the page has to indicate why the company is notable enough to warrant an article before it can reposted. I would suggest writing a draft in your userspace and asking another editor to review it before posting it to the mainspace. TNXMan 15:31, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Query regarding block of 207.81.157.1

Hello. I was about to decline the block request for 207.81.157.1 (talk · contribs · logs · block log) but edit-conflicted with the bot that clears AIV. While investigating the report, I noticed that the IP had not edited since 16:26 yesterday. Additionally it looks like the IP obeyed the level-three warning issued to it at 16:27 yesterday because it has not vandalized since. However I have no idea why 18 hours later Harryzilber (talk · contribs) improperly issued [17] another, escalated warning for the exact same edit from the previous day, and then reported the IP to AIV falsely claiming that the IP had vandalized after receiving a final warning [18]. Since the IP appears to have been both inactive and improperly warned and reported to AIV, you may wish to review your block. Please note that I have already left a message [19] for Harryzilber regarding his improper actions. Thank you for your time and consideration, — Kralizec! (talk) 15:50, 10 November 2009 (UTC)

I have unblocked the IP address, as I goofed up. I thought today was the 9th (not the 10th) and thought the vandalism was current. I take responsibility for the mistake and have left a note on the IP's talk page saying as much and asking them to contact me if they have further questions. Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

		The Barnstar of Integrity
		All too often Wikipedia editors refuse to admit it they make a mistake. However when this error was pointed out to you, not only did you quickly fix the issue, but you also had the personal integrity to take responsibility for the mistake. You sir, are an example for editors and administrators alike! Thank you, — Kralizec! (talk) 16:11, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not fun admitting when you're wrong. But this certainly helps the sting! TNXMan 16:27, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Well this is embrassing...

Hello Tnxman307, I am extremely sorry to re-interrupt you, but literally your like the only administrator who quickly replies, unfortunately I am new to Wikipedia, and I made a sample, although I forgot not to put it in my sandbox, but the link is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dogbones156/ there you will find the article I wrote on "ChobbieWorld" but got deleted, please tell me what needs to be corrected, there are alot of various error in it I know, I just have trouble Wikipedianizing it, thanks!

Dogbones156 (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I have moved your article from User:Dogbones156/ to User:Dogbones156/Sandbox. Eagles 24/7 (C) 22:04, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the article still does not cite any reliable sources, nor does it show where it has received significant independent media coverage. Also, the information in the last paragraph (about pricing and things like that) really needs to be removed, as it appears to be advertising. TNXMan 22:34, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Why was the page "Dean Hale" deleted?

Ellen Shane (talk) 01:19, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Ellen Shane Ellen Shane (talk) 01:19, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Because it did not indicate why the subject was notable enough to warrant an article on Wikipedia (note that notability on Wikipedia is different than the dictionary definition). Also, please note that Wikipedia does not accept promotional or campaign material. TNXMan 01:26, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Dean Hale

Ok, I do not understand how information on a candidate for an elected office is not worthy to be included in Wikipedia. I added links to websites to show legitimacy, but they can easily be taken off. There are two articles from reliable newspapers that were included in the article. He is also listed as a candidate on the Hillsborough County Supoervisors of Election site. Please tell me what needs to be done to get this posted just like other politicians that have informational pages posted about them. Ellen Shane (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2009 (UTC) Ellen Shane Ellen Shane (talk) 01:34, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Your best bet is read the info on this page about politicians' articles as well as this guide to writing your first article. After that, write a draft of the article in your userspace (something like User:Ellen Shane/Sandbox) and ask another editor to review it for you. After that, you can move it to the main article area.

Xntra city is up again just a few seconds after you deleted it. The funny thing is, the editor created the page together with the speedy-deletion tag :) Amsaim (talk) 01:46, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

They probably just copied the source material (speedy tag and all) before it was deleted. I've re-deleted it. Thanks for the heads-up! TNXMan 01:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Can you also block + autoblock 165.154.46.87 and all other IP's in 165.154.46.xx and/or 165.154.xx.xx? Thanks DivineAlpha (talk) 03:28, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

No thanks

I don't need your advice on behavioural modification. And, I will not take your advice at some sort of introspective reflection on how I wronged some (insert term here) who knows nothing about nothing, but calls himself a "veteran editor".

Wikipedia is absolutely useless, and sooner or later more Internet public will realise that a source of information where its database has no permanency is invalid for use.

Quite frankly I have no intention to waste more time on arguing with pimply students who all of a sudden have a say in something and enjoy the power trip of "adminship".

Why was Aramram deleted

Hello, I'm new to this. Don't understand why the page Aramram was deleted. This is an actual website and the description I placed of it is accurate. It has been covered by the local media (Arabic language) as well as local Jordanian bloggers and websites. While the site doesn't have international importance, the fact that it is the 1st Arabic-language Jordanian webTV geared towards a Jordanian audience makes it have at least some local significance. This is attested by the fact that it is one of the top 200 Jordanian sites in the 5 months since it's launch. (ps... i mentioned i'm new at this so i've posted this query in a couple of places already... still trying to find my way around!) E.hamam (talk) 15:51, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the article you created did not indicate why the website was notable enough to warrant an article. It also did not contain any reliable sources that supported its inclusion. I would suggest reading our info on writing your first article and writing a draft of the article in your userspace (something like User:E.hamam/Sandbox), where you can work on improving the article before moving it to the mainspace.

Why was PetSmart Charities, Inc. deleted?

Why was the recently created PetSmart Charities, Inc. page deleted? The page presented unbias, fact-based information about a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization championing saving the lives of homeless pets. The content was no different from the numerous other nonprofit entries on Wikipedia. In fact, it shed light to the many wonderful programs the organization does on behalf of animal welfare. The suggestion that it was advertising and had no significance is ridiculous...if you found it simply advertised, then you should delete every and all other nonprofit and for profit pages on Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Savehomelesspets (talk • contribs) 04:23, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the article was not written neutrally and did appear to be advertising.

Kuzhali Manickavel

I may have applied the wrong CSD template to this page, but I was wondering if you could take a look and decide if it qualifies. It was the only page created by User:Blaft Publications before they were blocked. If it doesn't qualify for CSD, please remove the template. Also, while you blocked Blaft Publications, you left my addendum report at WP:UAA regarding User:Blaft in place. That user seems to be another editor making the same sorts of self-promoting edits, possibly a sock. Could you please take a look at them as well? —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 21:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Sorry I missed your post. It looks like another admin has deleted the page. As for the Blaft account, I don't see a blatant username violation there. Your best bet is to report them to the conflict of interest noticeboard. If there's anything with which I can help, please let me know. Cheers! TNXMan 23:29, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

It's not the username, but the focus of edits. New articles for individuals published by Blaft, lots of little self-promoting corporate vanity bits. They haven't been active in ages, so WP:COIN seems unnecessary, I was just pointing out the suspected sock puppetry. You don't need to do anything about it; I'm guessing they lost their login info and created the new Blaft Publications login for that reason.

In any event, thanks for the help. I thought I should make that clear; I've got your talk page watched, and the sheer volume of complaints and bickering over nothing is impressive, to say the least. Figured I could try to balance it a bit. Don't let the bastards get you down! —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 19:10, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Re Scottish Centre for Postgraduate Pharmaceutical Education

Re your earlier comment on this heading There was a useful list of many pharmacy organisations with no detail on it - so I added what I knew for some of the headings there. I see the list has now been decimated and much of my effort wasted instead of edited. Yes I am a wiki novice but it would be nicer if you made some contact first. I suggest the residual list is removed completely. Regards Howard —Preceding unsigned comment added by Howardmcn (talk • contribs) 21:49, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
