Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Montenegro Airlines destinations

I believe that this close was totally wrong. It was a no consensus. Clearly their is a standing consensus by the project and numerous previous AfD discussions to support the breakout of these lists. Please consider reversing this decision. Thanks. Vegaswikian (talk) 19:06, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

As the result was not delete, all the history is preserved. Feel free to revert the redirect if you think it is a better solution. Greetings. --Tone 19:20, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks, it is done. Have a good New Year. Vegaswikian (talk) 20:19, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I strongly disagree. All the keep rationales were "the project policy is this". But the project policy cannot supercede Wikipedia's general policies. I42 (talk) 21:28, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

So you are saying that just because they are saying the projects guideline is to allow those, the opinions should be ignored along with all of the past AfD and discussions that supported that inclusion in the project guideline? Vegaswikian (talk) 21:52, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

I am saying that WP:NOTDIRECTORY is a policy which no project guideline may overrule. This article is clearly and unequivocally a directory entry and nothing else, and is therefore indefensible. Those supporting "keep" were basing their opinion on the Airline project guideline but the airline project guideline cannot take precedence over policy and must be discounted: the result of the AfD was not "no consensus" at all. And yes, I am saying that the airline project is not a rule unto itself. I42 (talk) 09:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Guys, pointless to argue here. AfD is a mechanism to figure out whether an article should be deleted or not. The outcome was not to delete. Further actions (leave as it is/merge/whatever) should be discussed on the article talkpage, not here. --Tone 10:30, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

ITN

Hi Tone, I'm sorry to badger you but when you add an item to the ITN template, would you mind informing the updater/ nominator and tagging the article talk page with the relevant template at WP:ITN#Recognition. I'll drop the templates for ASEAN–China Free Trade Area and if it doesn't suit you to do it in future (updating ITN is enough imo since only admins can do it), I'll be happy to do it for you, just drop me a note (I'm around ITN/C most days). All the best, HJMitchell You rang? 21:31, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I'd appreciate if you could do this. I'm really not a fan of posting those boxes and that's why I only update the protected template. Greetings. --Tone 21:33, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

2010 Haiti earthquake

Per discussion (9 hours ago!) on this articles talkpage regarding links to Aid Organisations, there are now a whole lot of links that seem to go directly to the donation pages of various agencies. Just letting you know, as this seems to go against what was stated then. ie. "not appropriate to include links".

TwinMOS

It seems you deleted a page about TwinMOS for some reason. Now there is a fact box about this company on the SecureDigital page, where I think it does not belong. Why can't this information be on a TwinMos page? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andthu (talk • contribs) 23:47, 16 January 2010 (UTC)

can you userfy this article please? I noticed you were on the deletion logs, this was a notable songwriter and A&R man for Vee-Jay Records. many thanks riffic (talk) 08:30, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Basically, all the content was Calvin Carter is the brother of the founder of Vee-Jay Records Vivian Carter.Born May 27, 1925. He joined the company in 1953 and became the principal producer, in charge of the recording sessions. He is a songwriter and composer of jazz and popsongs. If you need it on a separate page...

Deletion of Russet Noon Article (April 2009)

Hello Tone,

I understand you're the administrator who deleted the Russet Noon article back in April of 2009. I'm writing to request that you consider restoring it for the following reasons: The argument against keeping this article at the time was based on the alleged lack of notoriety of the novel. However, there is a section under author Peter David's main article, which is entitled Potato Moon. As you will notice, this section refers to Russet Noon, since Potato Moon is a parody of Russet Noon. Given that Peter David could be considered by many to be a legendary author in the comic book genre, how is it not notorious that he decided to host a red-robin satire on his personal blog about Russet Noon?

Please be kind enough to let me know your thoughts about this appeal.

Ladysybilla (talk) 04:52, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Hi. The proper place to consider restoration of the article will be the deletion review. You should present the arguments there and let the community decide, it's not only up to me. If new references exist, this is a good start. Keep me posted. Greetings. --Tone 12:05, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

ITN nomination

Hi. Since you are one of the main ITN admins, I'd like to suggest to take a look at this nomination from January 23. If there is still space on the ITN template, please add the blurb as it already has a lot of support and more protests are planned so it is an ongoing issue and may require a re-post in the near future. I recently completed a separate article that I just recently published, so that could be the main link for the news blurb. Thanks. ~AH1^(TCU) 03:00, 29 January 2010 (UTC)

Uploading TV screenshot

Hi, I have taken a few screenshots from a football match. These screenshots show the players and I intend to use them under fair use in each player's appropriate article. Can I upload them or will they be deleted? Hobapotter (talk) 12:51, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in. If the images are copyright, they must comply with Wikipedia's Non-free content criteria. Unfortunately, if the players are living, the images will almost certainly fail these criteria because non-free images must not be replaceable and Wikipedia considers almost any non-free image of a living person to be replaceable. It's not ideal but it's policy. Hope that helps. Best, HJ Mitchell | fancy a chat? 13:27, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Thanks for the information but there's no claim on the copyright; I mean to ask Is there any copyright on a still image from a video? Hobapotter (talk) 13:40, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Almost certainly- the content of the video probably belongs to the production company, but if you can prove that it is in the public domain or licensed under the an appropriate Creative Commons license, you should be OK. The problem is that the burden of proof, so to speak, rests with you. Is the image one you found online? If so, you could give me the URL and I'll have a look for any evidence of copyright or otherwise. HJ Mitchell | fancy a chat? 13:56, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

Question on vote counting for AfD

Do 7 delete + 5 keep + 5 merge = delete? [2]

(there actually are 6 votes to keep as well as the 5 to merge, a strong keep was uncounted, perhaps due to a spacing error [3])

There may be some rule about counting votes that I am not aware of, or perhaps the delete was a mistake? That is why I am asking. RegardsKeptSouth (talk) 11:19, 2 February 2010 (UTC)

I believe there was a clear consensus to delete that article. And remember, AfD is not a vote. --Tone 17:43, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

Bonghan theory

Hello Tone,

I am a new, unconfirmed, wiki member and would appreciate your help in publishing an article I have written about the Bonghan System currently at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:DavidWis/Bonghan_System#cite_note-0

You deleted a previous article entitled Bonghan Theory (or System) back in August 22, 2009. I didn’t see the original but comments on the deletion page lead me to believe that this article was based on an article I published in 2009. The article was criticized as unreferenced and non notable WP:FRINGE theory seeking to gain attention by using public forums of discussion rather than through academic journals. I think my article clearly demonstrates that the research being done on the Bonghan System is published in a wide variety of academic journals and is a notable discovery of previously ignored anatomical structures.

If you have any suggestions or advice I would appreciate it if you could post it on the discussions page. I’m not sure if it should be submitted to the controversial moves section …. or should I just add {{move draft}} to the top of the page? I’m also unclear about copyright releases for photos which I hope to be able to get from the original research authors. Your assistance will be much appreciated. David/Wis

Hi. Indeed, the original article was deleted because of problems with sources. The new version looks well-supported by recent references so this in my opinion counters the original deletion rationale. I think you can move the article to the article space, tell me if you need any help with that. Regards, --Tone 15:45, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

Open platform as a service

Please undelete as the comment on the talk page made it clear there was no copyright issue as the cited article was actually copying wikipedia, not the other way around. If you disagree, please query the other of the cited article.

Hi. What do you mean by the other of the cited article? I can undelete but just saying that the copying took place the other way around is not a very strong argument... Please help me with this one. --Tone 08:18, 24 March 2010 (UTC)

Of course it is a strong argument. It makes all the difference in the world who copied who. The burden should fall on person proposing the delete to prove the Wikipedia article copied another source if we are going to do something so harsh and final as to delete. If we deleted Wikipedia articles which contained copy (text) found elsewhere, without clear proof of which one came first/who copied who, we'd delete 1/2 of Wikipedia with no basis! Do we really want a shoot now, ask questions later policy?

Well, it's all question of proving what was first. Anyway, let's not complicate, I'll restore it. But I invite you to work on the article, it's not really in a perfect shape. --Tone 08:40, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Island sinking ITN

You wrote - "We're waiting on April 1, I believe."

And your belief is based on what? And may I know whom all are included in "we" apart from you? Most of the support is for the normal ITN, not the April 1st one. What the hell is up with this entire April 1st thing anyways? Why is any proposed item which is even slightly funny or unusual being degraded to "April 1 worthy"? I am sorry but I do not understand how a disputed island sinking due to global warming is funny.

adam franklin - i could sleep for a thousand years

Why did you delete the page I created for my new album? I want to create it again but not if you're simply gonna delete it again. I did try and get in touch with you but you never got back to me. Please would you email me here: (mail removed to prevent spam)

thanks Adam —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captainmagenta (talk • contribs) 11:08, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi. The article was deleted after a discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/I Could Sleep For A Thousand Years. The reasons why it was deleted are there. Therefore, if you want to have it recreated, you have to make a request at WP:DRV (it is deleted again, this is the policy). And I don't think I've heard from you before, regarding that article... Regards. --Tone 13:22, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm sorry Tone, I have no idea why you have deleted this page again. Is it because the album is not yet released? Could you explain to me in layman's terms why this has been deleted and how it can be undeleted? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Captainmagenta (talk • contribs) 15:20, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Sure. The procedure is the following. An article is created. Someone finds that the article should not be there and nominates it for deletion. Then, if there is a consensus to delete the article, an admin deletes it (as I did in this case, click the link for the discussion). After the article has been deleted as a result of a discussion, it should not be simply rewritten because any admin will delete it again (as there was a previous consensus to delete). Therefore, an option is to ask for a deletion review (DRV). Then, the decision can be overturned. However, in this specific case, my advise is that you wait until the album is released and generates some responses, such as reviews in acclaimed magazines. Then, you can rewrite the article from beginning and include all that, and then I don't think anyone will complain. But at present, having an article consisting mostly of track list with zero references is a bad idea. I hope that helps, feel free to ask if you have further questions. Greetings. --Tone 15:38, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

Previously untitled section

this is a bit long and I think I've sorted it for you so I've collapsed it. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 19:02, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

My name is Rocky Scarfone . You recently deleted a page on one TOM PAPANIA. The page that is now in its place contains information that is false and after three court battles, 5 settlements and ten years, it harms my reputation. I would appreciate it if you read below. PLEASE. It took years to get my book back and to stop what was an attempt by an alleged con artist to stop using my book, my mothers death and other personal facts. I have added links to several web pages that contain actual court records and more facts then anyone has ever placed on the subject of Mr Tom Papania. The cases (1999-2009 State Court- 4 years, Federal Court 4 years, And WIPO World Court - 1 year) against Tom papania FOF/CBN/Pat Robertson James Dobson were NOT FRIVOLOUS NOR WERE THEY DISMISSED, I, Joe Baffa AKA Rocky Scarfone, sued Tom Papania [3], Focus on the Family/James Dobson, Pat Robertson/Christian Broadcasting Network in Federal Court in 1999 for copyright infringement, violation of the Lanham act and fraud. The suit alleged that tom papania plagiarized my copyright book House Of Cards the Curse of Alphonoso [4] written and copyright by RJ Rocky Scarfone and that Focus on the Family/James Dobson, & Pat Robertson/Christian Broadcasting Network were added due to their promotion of Papania and their reaping monies from sales of tapes and other forms of compensation. The case was NOT FRIVOLOUS NOR WAS IT DISMISSED, It was settled in Joe Baffa AKA Rocky Scarfone's Favor. Both organizations paid an undisclosed sum to settle. In addition, Focus On The Family agreed to print a retraction; Which they did, stating along these lines: "recent events have brought forth information that conflicts with Papania' story, there for Focus is no longer recommending Papania". This fact can be read on the linked websites below and the final order from federal court can be found on [1]and [2]. In this federal ruling dated 2002, the Chief Justice of the Northern District Federal Court ruled in BAFFA'S FAVOR, Tom Papania settled the action by paying an undisclosed amount of money. Further, Tom papania filed a domain name complaint against baffa, and lost it[5]. GOOGLE: wipo Tom papania vs Fraud Expose or use the link below. In 2005, Tom Papania sued Joe Baffa AKA Rocky Scarfone in Gwinnette County Georgia Superior Court for violating the terms of the settlement . A settlement in Joe Baffa AKA Rocky Scarfones favor. After 4 years it was DISMISSED. SEE: Gwinnette County Superior Court Papania Vs Baffa . Thus, for all the hype that it was a frivolous action, Joe Baffa won all three and received 4 settlements. As far as whether Mr. Papania is in fact telling the truth, all one has to do is go to TomPapaniaExpose.Com [2], TomPapania.Info [3]and MafiaMinistry.Com [1] to read court records, audio video and the complete history of papania backed by hundreds of first tier sources and records. 1<http://mafiaministry.com Court Records in Baffa's favor> 2< http://TomPapaniaExpose.Com Records Facts Papania >< 3<http://www.tompapania.info Federal & State Court Transcripts > 4<http://www.youthofamerica.com Rock Book > 5<http://www.wipo.int/amc/en/domains/decisions/html/2001/d2001-0978.html WIPO Decision in Baffa's favora> Joe Baffa AKA Rocky Scarfone 800 438 6894 Joebaffa (talk) 18:48, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

deletion of Brad Olesen article -

Hi,

Brad Olesen here

Is there a way to actually delete the entire contents so that no one can see your comments as well? The info is also on World Lingo...which I still can't seem to understand how to get it deleted as well.

What are my options?

If you can delete from visibility EVERYTHING (as if it didn't exist) - that's what I want. If you can't, would you at least consider allowing me to edit it so that only my name and very limited details exist - I have a few articles about to be published, etc. (In other words, reverse your delete, allow me to edit it, then go back and delete - c.)

It looks as though JaGa and you both have your hands in this. Can you both collaborate and wipe from any record this information, INCLUDING THIS conversation here?

Thank you.

Hi. Sorry, this took me a while to answer... The situation is the following. Technically it is possible to delete all the pages but I don't have that privileges. I can just delete pages but any admin can see it. To delete it completely, you'll need to contact someone with WP:Oversight rights. Then, he/she can delete all related pages, including this section from my talkpage. I hope this answers your question. Let me know if you need more help. Regards. --Tone 18:42, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

Sorry again for late response. So. You ask whether it is ok to include a company without a separate article in the comparative list. I think this is fine - after all, in case of less-notable things, WP tends to merge them into bigger cover articles. Regarding the other companies, I cannot make a general statement whether they are notable or not - this should be checked case-to-case and some may indeed end up deleted as well. I hope this helps... --Tone 12:44, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

It was deleted back in April 2008 via our "proposed deletion" system which means that if anybody objects, it can simply be undeleted, but the article will need significant work to avoid being deleted again via the the "speedy deletion system or a deletion discussion.

Restoration request for the book: Defending the West: A Critique of Edward Said's Orientalism

I request restoration of a previous wiki article about the following book, or the creation of a shorter stub.

Current reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Defending_the_West:_A_Critique_of_Edward_Said's_Orientalism&action=edit&redlink=1

The book is notable because of the following:

1. It's for sale at Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Defending-West-Critique-Edward-Orientalism/dp/1591024846 2. It's been reviewed by the NY Sun newspaper: http://www.nysun.com/arts/bertrand-russell-of-islam/67922/ 3. It is published by notable free-thinker publisher Prometheus Books - http://www.prometheusbooks.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=90_32&products_id=576 4. It was reviewed by the Hoover Institution. http://www.hoover.org/publications/policyreview/19458849.html 5. Because I care about it, and I'm a human, not a number.

Please undelete the article immediately. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cbean (talk • contribs) 20:02, 13 May 2010 (UTC)

After you've already closed the debate, it's a little late in the game to go back and change the conclusion; as the template says "Please do not modify it" and "No further edits should be made to this page". I can see adding a clarification on your decision, but changing it entirely seems a bit out of course.

Restoration request of my article "Insurance Companies in Pakistan"

I had written an article "Insurance Companies in Pakistan" which was deleted. I wanted to rename it as "List of Pakistan's Insurance Companies" or "List of Insurance Companies in Pakistan". At present, I do not have the record of the changes I made or the complete list of those companies mentioned in the article. kindly restore that article so that I shall link some pages which are already on wikipedia and the article I shall write in future, as soon as I shall have time to write about these companies. I already have written one in this regard.

In this regard, your guidance will help me. Altafqadir (talk) 10:30, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. The article got deleted after a deletion discussion, so it would not be a good idea to bring it back and just rename it.

Cordelia Mendoza

Hi, Tone. You worked with me a bit on the Geoff Schumacher article, which was about to be deleted a while back. An article I recently wrote was nominated for deletion by an editor for notability (she didn't mention anything else in her nomination), and it went through the AfD process. I've addressed the notability concern (some editors added that some of the sources -- newspaper and magazine articles -- appeared weak). I have found stronger, reliable sources, cited them, reworked the article, and I think it now is more clear about notability and is a stronger article than it was originally. A few editors agreed, one quite strongly. But it was ultimately deleted. It was userfied for me and I've improved it (I found more articles where the subject was the only one in the story, which the nom requested). If you could take a look at it and give me your feedback, it would be much appreciated. I can explain how it came to be nominated after you look at it. Here's the AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cordelia Mendoza. And here's the draft I've been working on: User:AuthorAuthor/Cordelia Mendoza Thanks again. --AuthorAuthor (talk) 06:17, 3 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Hm, the article looks fine for me at the moment... Regarding the notability, I think the best idea is to start a WP:DRV process and show the draft there. If the DRV overturns the deletion, you can move the draft to the article. Cheers. --Tone 08:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi, Tone. Appreciate that -- thanks for taking the time. I'm still working on the article a bit. The thing is, the nom seems adamant. When I addressed each of the issues, by including reliable sources and articles that included just the subject, which she pointed out as lacking, the nom seemed stronger than before, ignoring the reliable sourcing I'd done, and sort of mocked some of the sources (pointed out things that were lesser in the article rather than noticing the things that were stronger). I've since found some strong, reliable sources, including (but not limited to) for high-profile volunteer work when the subject was a child, which backs up content in the article. But my sense is that the nom, if I put the draft there, will do the same. Makes me say, "Hm," too. I've noticed in other AfDs, when articles are improved and the author makes changes according to the nom's concerns, the noms take note. But that's not happening here. Any suggestions? --AuthorAuthor (talk) 03:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Article: Twinless twin

At your suggestion, authorized by Jj137, the "twinless twin" article was removed in 2008.

I wish it to be restored. There are groups of twinless twins to be found on four continents. As well, there is a considerable body of work and information including anecdotal, researched, and published studies on twinless twins and the phenomenologies of surviving twin grief processes and mortality rates (including higher incidence of suicide).

The entry appears to have been deleted without objection, although there were and are comments about its removal on the TWIN TWIN talk section from both myself and Algis Davidavicius , to wit:

===

"Hello -- I am a twinless twin (my identical brother died at our premature birth). I totally missed any information on fate of surviving twins that necesarrily maintain very often unconscious bond with their deceased half ("lone twin syndrome"). The feelings of being utterly lonely and being only half of some lost whole is common to all surviving multiples. How can I correct this article -- to whom must I write suggestions and provide materials pls.?

Sincerely -- Algis Davidavicius (Shim Gong), (mail removed) . I am ALSO a twinless twin and am distressed that the entire article on "twinless twin/s" was deleted, despite an emerging body of international case studies and other scholarly works on the subject. As well, some articles still link to the removed item [Philip K. Dick] and Wiki Section G.8 would seem to make its removal somewhat baffling.

Todd, twin to Marcus

===

I am raising such objection now, and have done so in the appropriate forum, as well.

Your suggestion for deletion was allowed to pass without objection under Section G8 ( "Pages dependent on a non-existent or deleted page such as talk pages with no corresponding subject page; subpages with no parent page; image pages without a corresponding image; redirects to invalid targets, such as nonexistent targets, redirect loops, and bad titles; and categories populated by deleted or retargeted templates. This excludes any page that is useful to the project, and in particular: deletion discussions that are not logged elsewhere." )

Philip K. Dick is still footnoted as having been a "twinless twin," and links to an invalid (i.e., deleted) target page.

Please restore the article in its entirety. I will be happy to add the additional, updated information as to other groups in Australia, New Zealand, and additional scholarly articles, papers, and the like.

Todd Eliot --- (mail removed) ToddSurfs (talk) 08:05, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Hi. Since the article was deleted in the prod process, I will restore it. However, I will send it to AFD as there were strong arguments in favour of deletion - so let the community decide. --Tone 08:24, 7 July 2010 (UTC)

Many thanks for the restoration. I'll contact Beachdrifter and Thayvian, whose "strong arguments" seem to have contributed to the deletion. Thayvian, in particular, raised the issue that the entry on "Grief does not even link to articles specific to the loss of a sibling, parent or spouse." Those topics are, however, covered by sections of the "grief" article, so I'll furnish Thayvian with some additional specifics, including the statistics on higher per capita suicide rates among surviving ("twinless") twins and provide local (Sydney) twinloss organization contacts for him/her to verify the information provided.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

I understand that you're busy, and I respect your time and efforts in contributing to Wikipedia.

May I ask, why did you delete the Wikipedia entry for Voices.com, an organization that has had a page in existence with no issues for the past 3 years? I see that you flagged the page as advertising, however the page was written by more than a dozen contributors in a subjective manner.

Please reconsider and if possible, lock the page.

Hello. Well, it was not me who marked the article as advertising, it was User:Russavia. I just deleted it. I suggest you talk to him, if he agrees, I can restore the article. Regards, --Tone 06:17, 25 August 2010 (UTC)

Hi

Recently, the Nozami page was deleted. Why?

Thank you in advance.

Hi. The page was deleted after a discussion, see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NozAmi. Regards. --Tone 17:01, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

WP:AN/I

Another editor has started a discussion at ANI concerning your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of newly-formed bus routes in Brooklyn. --Ron Ritzman (talk) 01:51, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

• It's no big deal. You deleted List of newly-formed bus routes in Brooklyn which unbeknownst to you or any of the AfD participants (and not surprising given that no actual record of the merge took place) was merged into List of bus routes in Brooklyn somewhere between 3 years ago and now. In order to preserve attribution I restored the article, redirected it and left talk page notes on both articles. Protonk (talk) 03:00, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for that. --Tone 17:02, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

ITN: Hurricane Earl (2010) ...request for photo

Hi Tone. Thanks for your help on the ITN article. I left a message at ITN you may not have seen regarding the hopeful inclusion of the article photo. I have changed the blurb to add (pictured). I think the article is better served with photo that is with the article and that is also on the ITN page. I will continue to monitor the situation for any possible needed updates (as I write the hurricane has not yet turned to the north as the weather forecasters were expecting.) I have also updated the article's talk page with the ITN template. And of least importance, I didn't get my "reward" template on my talk page... silly, I know, but I do like to see them! Thanks again for your help, Jusdafax 14:13, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi. I see the photo has been added already. Well, I somehow don't like giving those credits while some people like them... you can add one yourself, nothing wrong with that. After all, good work with the nomination. --Tone 14:55, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. Yes, I see the photo was added, excellent. As for my 'reward', I'm somewhat vain, and can't find it proper somehow to reward myself for an ITN... though, I do have a self-award on my User page about my time spent on Wikipedia and number of edits. Well, it's all good; the main thing was to get that item posted. Thanks again! Jusdafax 15:06, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

File:Facebooklogo.jpg deletion request

I'm not sure if I am following the correct procedure here, but I wanted to request deletion of the file Facebooklogo.jpg because it is an advertisement for an online electronics store NOT the Facebook logo as it is labeled. I accessed the image via an old version of the Facebook page. ---- —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cacoethes curiositas (talk • contribs) 00:10, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

You're right, but the image isn't hosted on Wikipedia, it's on the Wikimedia Commons, so you would have to make your request at commons:COM:AN. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 00:19, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

this is really just a test of how to sign posts—thought I'd signed the last one, but it appears the tildes need to be inside parentheses? If this post isn't signed I'm doing something wrong and would appreciate assistance, sorry (----)

wait tildes, oh Cacoethes curiositas (talk) 00:39, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Codendi

Hello Tone,

I get in touch with because you decided to delete Codendi article. The reasons given are notably:

“It looks like a closed club thing. It doesn't look like anyone else cares about this product. Nothing notable about the software.”

I would like to add information to clarify these points.

- Codendi software is already daily used by many users worldwide (USA, UK, Colombia, Tunisia, France, Germany, India...) in large companies (ST Microelectronics, Oranges Labs, GDF Suez..), public organizations (National Navy) and SME’s. It is not a closed club: it is an open-source software so everyone can freely download it and use it.

- Codendi Community Edition has been downloaded more than 113 000 times in one year. Everyone wanting to participate to Codendi community is welcomed.

- Several American & European websites speak about Codendi:

• Cyberciti :
• Open Source Observatory and Repository for European public administrations
• Coclico project :project about open-source forges
• Journal du Net, a famous French magazine about the award won by Xerox
• Lutèce d’or award as the Best Open-Source project carried out by a large company

Others:

• http://petermoulding.com/project_management
• http://www.isoftwarereviews.com/open-source-project-management-software-applications/

- Wikipedia gives many information about other softwares with features similar to those of Codendi (LibreSource, Trac, FusionForge, Collabnet, Codebeamer…). Some softwares are not so famous in the US but it is interesting for people to discover them. That’s right that Codendi is not a software famous as others edited by big companies but it is all the interest of Wikipedia.

Please let me rewrite the article with a neutral point of view.

Thanks for your response,

Cheers

Hi. Sure, I'll unprotect it so you can edit it. By the way, the article was deleted after a discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Codendi - make sure to address all the issues. Best, --Tone 21:16, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi Tone, thanks for your answer. I 've submitted a new article for Codendi as neutral as I can ;-) It is now in the "Articles for creation/Codendi ". If you notice something that I should change, don't hesitate to say me. Thanks again. ManonM —Preceding undated comment added 07:41, 15 September 2010 (UTC).
