I saw your offer of help to a user wanting information about how to create a new category (see Wikipedia talk:FAQ/Categorization#New ) and so I thought I would ask for your assistance. Pknkly ( talk) 18:00, 25 October 2009 (UTC) Pknkly ( talk) 18:00, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is List of creatures in the Resident Evil series. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and " What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of creatures in the Resident Evil series (2nd nomination). Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.
Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. -- Erwin85Bot ( talk) 01:23, 27 October 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Thanks for disambiguating SCott Murray at the Bristol City FC page, but in fact you changed the wikilink to a rugby union player. Bristol City play football not rugby. This has been fixed now. Jezhotwells ( talk) 12:02, 2 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello After Midnight! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 76 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to insure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. if you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 944 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{ unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:
Thanks!-- DASHBot ( talk) 21:25, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
Hello, how are you? I wanted to ask for your help on fixing this problem. There was recent edit war on question of Montenegrin language. Until now, articles had written "Montenegrin language" on every Montenegrin articles, but now Serbs reverted it and adding Serbian. Their argument is that Montenegrin doesn't have ISO code. Montenegrin is official language of Montenegro, therefor is used in Government, school, TV etc... ISO standard is expected in one or two months. There are a lot of admins who reverted for them without knowing anything about Montenegrin language. Here are e.g. of articles:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ulcinj http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podgorica
Not to mention that battle was won a lot of times before with Admins agreement, but ever few months appear some clone to remove it.
Best regards!

The article Allen May has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
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. The
speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and
articles for deletion allows discussion to reach
consensus for deletion.

Would you be so kind as to explain the deletions of these logos? Discussion was split 50/50 so a "no-consensus=keep" seems more apropos or, if you understand my logic, please understand that there is a significant difference between copyrighted and trademarked images and the image has no reason to be deleted in the first place.
Thanks. — BQZip01 — talk 17:49, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
I was wondering what was up with the photo deletion of the Ross Business School at the University of Michigan. The issue had been resolved. Discussion is here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Possibly_unfree_files/2010_February_26#File:Ross_Business_School_2010.jpg
File:Ross Business School 2010.jpg
Not to mention a photo was put up here that runs into the same problem as the one deleted and no action has been taken. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Michigan_Ross_School_of_Business_Entrance.jpg AndrewHorne ( talk) 17:55, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
This is a photo I took, it is a good question where the camera information is, it was on there. Well I looked at some others I took that same day and they do not have the Metadata, is it something I clicked when uploading? AndrewHorne ( talk) 01:42, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
Why did you delete these? You aren't really explaining why at the top of the discussions.

Hello After Midnight, I saw that you are an admin and hope for some support. I revised the German article of Marcus Schenkenberg completely during the last months and want to revise the English article as well next time. But it would look like a one to one translation then with even a small difference. I don't want to get any trouble by doing so. I guess it will require the import of the German version in this case? Would be very glad, if you helped and explained the procedure how to manage this. On the other hand I feel unsure to master a full translation from German to English… but lets see how far I get. Many thanks in advance and best regards -- Sat Ra ( talk) 21:08, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi, After Midnight! I've just created a new category at "Category:The Byrds audio samples" (sorry, I don't know how to wikilink to categories on talk pages) because there's now a number of Byrds-related audio samples on Wikipedia and I thought it'd be useful to have them all easily located within their own category. I then began to see that many other bands and artists had their own dedicated master category—with sub-categories for audio files, album covers, pictures etc—so I was going to create one for The Byrds at "Category:The Byrds" but I see that a page of this name has already been created and then subsequently deleted by you on 8 August 2007. So, as per the instructions on that page, I though that I should contact you to see whether I would be able to re-create this article or not.
I've read the discussion concerning the deletion of this category at Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 August 1 but the arguments being used to support deletion could just as easily be applied to categories by many other artists/bands. In particular, categories like "Category:The Doors", "Category:10,000 Maniacs", "Category:Genesis (band)", and "Category:Sly & the Family Stone" are very similar in terms of scope and number of sub-categories to how a Byrds' master category would be. In addition, a Byrds-related master category would be much bigger than some of the categories that do exist, like "Category:The Fall (band)", "Category:Gil Scott-Heron", and "Category:Janis Joplin". I just wondered what your thoughts on this matter were. Perhaps there's a very good reason why a "The Byrds" category shouldn't be allowed but I'm afraid that I can't see it. -- Kohoutek1138 ( talk) 21:27, 16 April 2010 (UTC)
Hi there, just letting you know I'll be re-adding an image file File:CARRS-Q logo.jpg - it was deleted because it wasn't used in an article (actually it was, but the article was still a userspace draft of mine - the article is now live: CARRS-Q). Could you please let me know if there is an easy way to restore it, or if I should not add it yet for some reason? Thank you! Lowstep ( talk) 00:17, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

While perhaps understanding User: Duffbeerforme's removal of the dozens of mini reviews that comprised the article, I have determined that When the Lights Go Down has itself been both praised and panned in multiple reliable sources for years. [1] I have added some citations to the article, and with the many many more that are available, feel that the book has an independent notability through GNG. Care to help add more reviews?

Hey, about http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=File:Soundpool_hires4.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1, the source is the band's webpage, [2], under the section "Media Kit" with a link to download the high res image for use in media/promotion. Would this be considered fair use? I'm sorry I haven't logged in in a while, and the image has already been removed. However I believe it is suitable for wikipedia, and I'd like to take the steps to put it back. Thank you. Phixxor ( talk) 04:13, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

I would like your opinion on the following. Is this a legitimate use for a talk page? John Bessa has a real problem with Knight of BAAWA and myself, and has seen fit to use his talk page as a kind of blog detailing his feelings about us. I have had very little interaction with this user, beyond removing his rants from a couple article talk pages, which I felt was a completely legitimate edit. At any rate, I would like to see an admin. weigh in on this. Thanks. --- RepublicanJacobite The'FortyFive' 16:04, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

I see you were the last person to delete this category, in 2007. I do not see that it is eligible for deletion under CSD-G8. (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/asexuality).

Hi After Midnight -
I note your block here of an IP known to be a public library. Please do not block public library IPs for more than a day; there is a constant turnover of users at those IP addresses, and a brief look at the contributions of that particular IP shows that, except for the vandalism you legitimately blocked for, the previous 200 contributions were all valid and valuable edits. More particularly, it is not acceptable to block IP addresses indefinitely; not even open proxies are blocked that way. I hope you will keep this in mind in the future. Thanks. Risker ( talk) 21:14, 28 June 2010 (UTC)
Hi After Midnight... I've been trying to carry on a civil discussion with User:Altaileopard on references which he's somewhat confused on. Anyway, he has a Category:Megafauna of Africa insert on his discussion page. I corrected it by adding and extra set of brackets [ ] so that it would not appear on the category article/page. He reverted it so now it appears. I'm going to alter it again as a Reviewer and hope he doesn't repeat it again. Noles1984 ( talk) 00:44, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
