Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Throne, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Stool and Autocrat (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

I've just got round to reading your Op-Ed from the August 2014 edition of The Bugle. I really enjoyed it. It was great that you linked to the WWI task force and the Great War Centennial project. I'm still trying to find the time to properly follow up what I wrote at WWI editing co-ordination. Would you have any views on the best way to follow up some of the suggestions there and get more people interested? I would like to send out a mass message to those interested in (or already) editing on the topic, but only if there are a number of editors willing to help out with co-ordinating and reporting on activities. What I was hoping for was not just the timeline you are doing (which is great) but a summary of what articles people are working on and which articles have achieved a rise in rating (or even good articles and featured articles). A mini-version of the article content news? (That only covers A-class and featured - I'd like to cover more of what people are editing on in the WWI topic area). Would something like this be feasible? Carcharoth (talk) 16:06, 19 October 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for the reply. I am going to be short of time to discuss further this week, but where would be the best place to discuss, here, my talk page, or somewhere else? Carcharoth (talk) 08:12, 20 October 2014 (UTC)
@Carcharoth: Here is fine for now. If build enough momentum that others join up then we can move this someplace else and run with it there. For what its worth, I'll be busy this week as well. I'm having what I hope will be the last of the mold in place removed, however the nature of mold as hazardous material necessitates that I be out of the house for the time it takes them to demolish and remove the stuff, and that in turn means it'll be hard to me to find and connect to the net.

Greetings TS81, I read your piece on trench warfare in the Bugle and wondered if you'd considered the Iraq–Iran War (1980–1988) as an example of trench warfare?Keith-264 (talk) 19:50, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
It could be considered an example. There are many instances since WWI wherein one force has fortified a line for the purpose of defending itself from attacks by foreign or domestic forces (in the case of the latter, in civil wars or in race/ethnic/religious conflicts). I picked Korea because of its evolution over the nearly 70 years that it has existed, as I felt it was the best such example of a line wherein WWI style strategies, tactics, doctrines, and mentalities still reigned supreme. TomStar81 (Talk) 01:31, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
Thanks, I'm of the view that mobile warfare is what happens when it becomes impossible for one side to maintain fixed defences so I don't see a difference as either-or but more-or-less. Interesting....Keith-264 (talk) 08:38, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Dear TomStar81: You deleted the mainspace version of this draft because of copyright violation, but the edit summary doesn't appear to give the URL from which it was copied. The draft version has a lot of the same text, but with some sections removed. Is it still a problem?

Greetings TomStar81 - I recently had a page nominated for speedy deletion, a page which I should have marked as (inuse). The article was deleted for notability reasons, however I was going in today to add the necessary resources to bring the page up to par - unfortunately I was given less than 24 hours to do so. As the subject (company) inherently passes the notability concerns (except for the fact that I hadn't added the information to the page yet), it would be helpful if you could restore the page to allow me to improve it, as opposed to having to start over again to add the proper references relating to depth of coverage and independent third party validation through press and media. If you have any suggestions for what I can do to help this article be restored I would appreciate it! Thanks for your help.

Hello, I am a publicist from Bengal. I noticed that you have discussed and deleted Saptaswa Basu (page). I was not the creator of that page but I can confirm that he is a notable personality in Bengal. I have recreated the page and have given numerous more links to published articles about his works including Zeenews, Festival focus and other links. There are numerous articles existing in wikipedia with just 3 or 4 links, with incorrect info too, but they are not facing this tag of deletion. You can see pages Mir Afsar Ali, Subhasree Ganguly etc where the references are not much strong too. On the contrary, now I have added many references to SAPTASWA BASU to make it a source for reliable info. To the truest of my knowledge, the page is not any kind of advertisement or promotion. Please look into the matter. I have requested some film personalities too to join wikipedia and support the article. I am a basic writer and would really appreciate your help in improving the article. I will be adding more reference links of current works too. Please check the page and approve it. I will be waiting for your response.Here are the additional links that I have given, which may compensate for the lesser number of link present earlier.
Some more links are present too, I will search and add once the page is functional.Roon100 (talk) 12:46, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

Immediately after prior block expired, user went right back to adding unsourced info to WP:BLP page, adding poorly sourced info eg sourced only to IMDB links, etc. Reverting to quite poor versions of film pages against consensus of WT:FILM.
Unfortunately the user is continuing exact same pattern of disruption that led to prior block, so another block is in order here.
Prior block by admin Jimfbleak gave rationale of "Persistent addition of unsourced content". That block was for duration of two (2) weeks. User immediately continued same pattern after that block expired. — Cirt (talk) 04:05, 1 December 2014 (UTC)

Hi, TomStar81! That was a very good catch on those medical articles, as I should immediately have said there – thank you! I saw your post on MRG's talk about Guerrilla filmmaking and this user; I think she may be away for a few days, so I thought I'd throw in my 2c. I looked at the three instances of copying that you've tagged on the user's talk page: Facebook, Amazon and onthesetofnewyork.com. As far as I can see there is no great cause for anxiety here; the facebook page is taken from us (acknowledged as such), and, in the last pre-stub version of the article, the main stuff copied from the other two sources seemed to be correctly quoted and attributed (assuming, that is, that the Amazon blurb is in fact the blurb from the book). Yes, the use of quotes may be a bit excessive. Did you also see other possible instances of copying? Because if not, I think that copyright can perhaps be crossed off the list of problems here. I've watchlisted this page, will see if you reply here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 12:34, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
Speedy Deletion of band page

Hi Tom, I'm just dropping by to mention that some people will likely be re-making the article Twiddle_(band) that you've deleted under A7. The editors who made it were new and didn't know our policies, but I am relatively sure that the band is notable via WP:BAND. I have encouraged them to sandbox the article and start over with proper refs and description of notability. Anyway, just wanted to give you heads-up in case you notice it when it pops up again.

As best I can tell, either you, or Wiki user Star Mississippi (which may be the same user) recently deleted the Wikipedia page that appeared under my name, Philip Schwalb, based on "copyright infringement".
I think you'll agree, upon reviewing, that there is no lifting of language generating copyright issues, or anything else written in the article in existence since 2008 (with proper and rigorous footnote attribution) that would approach a copyright issue.
I would appreciate your help in resolving this situation.The page was first created at least a half dozen years ago by a newspaper reporter in New York City. And though various people, including some who worked for my museum, made edits, all those edits were referencing publicly available sources, such as the New York Times, Sports Illustrated, or the Wall Street Journal - and MOST IMPORTANTLY FOR THIS SITUATION, did not infringe on any copyright rules.
If, as a lawyer, and as a layperson, I am mistaken about that, WHATEVER YOU DEEMED TO BE A COPYRIGHT ISSUE, CAN AND WILL BE QUICKLY FIXED AS DIRECTED.
Thank you very much for your FIDELITY to the Wikipedia collective system, and your guidance and assistance.

@Star Mississippi: First off, there is no relation between me and Star Mississippi as it relates to us being one and the same account, we are different people, so the messages you've left are for two different people. Now on to the matter of the article: I will not restore the article in any of its previous versions because the entire article contribution history is far too polluted with copyright and conflict of interest edits to be of use to Wikipedia. If you would like to try to put the article back my firm recommendation is to write a draft for the article you want at Wikipedia:Drafts. I would also suggest seeking help from the editors at our Teahouse, the contributors there are more than willing to help you by answering your questions, and more importantly and better versed in concerns such as yours.

Deletion of Sinocare
Latest comment: 9 years ago2 comments1 person in discussion
You have deleted the article for Sinocare. I ask you to review the action.
Sinocare is a publicly traded company on a major stock exchange. The notability guideline strongly suggests such companies are notable. In addition, I had supported the article with a reference to a peer reviewed journal. This journal article was deleted by an editor who could not find mention of the company in the article. I believe this is clear error because this journal article prominently mentions the company.
Taken together, I simply can't understand why the Sinocare article is considered unambiguous advertising. Muzzleflash (talk) 10:59, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for laying out the details of the criteria. I disagree especially with your last point about the article's content. It doesn't at all resemble advertising. The article is a collection of simple facts written in a plain style. It certainly isn't "unambiguously advertising". I would like to re-attempt to write the article in collaboration with other editors. Please restore it by that channel. Muzzleflash (talk) 09:41, 6 February 2015 (UTC)

That must have been the first thank you I got from someone whose edit I subjectively reverted. Glad there are no hard feelings. —Bagumba (talk) 00:27, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
@Bagumba: I only re-added the information because I could not locate it and I though it to be important to the game, but if you guys have it tidied away in its proper spot then I am more than happy to let my addition go. Its just how I role. Also, thanks for the barnstar, I do appreciate it :) TomStar81 (Talk) 00:43, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello, for what reason was the page of Mirnes Pepic deleted ?
Please refrain from making un-constructive edits to Wikipedia, I feel this is in violation of Wiki rules as the action was based on "biased opinions". Your "edit" appear to constitute vandalism and should be undone!. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
Thank you,
