Hello Alex,
You deleted my user page Ray Anyasi. You sighted it is promotional but to be honest, I read the terms of use before writing that page and tried my best to stay in line. I linked most of my sighted works to verifiable sources and made sure I did not use languages of high praise of self. In addition to that, may I add that there are several other sources on the Internet not created by me that carries my works. Most of which can be found by just typing my name on Google.
I ask that you kindly review this case when you find time. If you do and still do not think I deserve to be on Wikipedia at the moment, then I would appreciate if you can explain to me why.
Kind Regards, Ray Anyasi. Ray Anyasi ( talk) 00:11, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.
The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.
To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.
We really appreciate your input!
Please let us know if you wish to opt-out of all massmessage mailings from the Anti-harassment tools team.

Hi am Prasanna own www.naminema.com a online Kannada movie portal and have been involved with wiki page creation and updating related to Kannada movie for sometime now, I have volunteer to create the page of Manoranjan Ravichandran but it has been marked for deletion and hence opened this discussion thread.
Firstly the wiki movie page Saheba exits from quite long time now, the purpose of this page was to create page for lead actor of that movie . Also the movie has completed its theatrical run and hence this page of Manoranjan Ravichandran created for movie promotions is completely false. Also there are plenty of news article available online of Manoranjan Ravichandran second movie in progress. Which in due course will be updated with references. This page creation intention is to keep updated on the actor progress in Kannada Film industry. While I don't want it as sound Nepotism but his Father V. Ravichandran is well established star in South Indian Film industry with the wiki page as a proof. Also his Grand Father V. Veeraswamy who was noted producer of Kannada movies.
So, with so much of Film background I really contest of having this page makes sense than to mark delete it saying it's one of the movie of the actor. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Prasannakumarbg ( talk • contribs) 04:18, 18 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello,
I was editing and adding to the San Francisco Fog page because I am Karl The Fog.
I actually own the name, with trademark.
Should I just create a new page named as "Karl The Fog"?
Just wondering, not trying to "vandalize" the page as you called it.
Let me know what I can and should do.

I added a bunch of links under "external links" to various articles, providing a link for readers to listen to a podcast on the exact topic of the Wikipdedia article in question. Someone undid all of these additions, and then had me suspended for three days for "spamming". I fail to see how adding a legitimate external link to an non-commercial site and which provide the reader with more information on the article's topic constitutes "spam." If you think otherwise, please let me know why so that we can agree on the appropriate way to move forward.
Below is an example of one of the articles in question:
/info/en/?search=Fort_Carillon
I added the fourth external link: Podcast discussing the 1758 assault on Fort Carillon https://amrevpodcast.blogspot.com/2017/09/episode-010-new-british-strategy-fort.html
Thank you.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm actually surprised that a site like Wikipedia, which was founded on the principle of making more information free and accessible, would have a rule that limits links on topics like this mostly to sources which are behind pay walls. I was also surprised by the blanket rule against blog references, since I have seen references to a great many other history blogs in Wikipedia articles. Enforcement of this rule seems rather arbitrary. I thought I was making a good contribution to the dissemination more information on this subject matter. If Wikipedia thinks otherwise, I'm disappointed but I guess I'll go elsewhere. I have no interest in being a disruptive element to you or anyone else at Wikipedia.

You deleted User:Wacots/Wayne County Training School. I don't think the article was promotional because it refers to a defunct establishment that closed in 1974, and having an acronym as a user name is not the same as having an organization name asa user name. As a high school, it would be automatically notable; as a prison (which might be more accurate), possibly not. I didn't create the article. I saw it on the list of candidates for speedy deletion and decided to take a look. Eastmain ( talk • contribs) 23:38, 28 September 2017 (UTC)

Just out of curiosity, did you check to see if the actual "meat" of the page was copied from another source? Lists cannot be copyrighted, so huge 94% "match" of their list of books is not enough reason to delete. I was in the process of cleaning up the draft when you deleted it, so I just restored the content. Something to think about in the future, I suppose. Primefac ( talk) 15:06, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

I see that you deleted the Kevin Wilshaw article yesterday. (Sorry, I don't know how to create a red link.)
I encountered the news reports on Kevin Wilshaw yesterday and today, and came to Wikipedia to find out more about him. I was surprised to discover that the article was deleted, apparently on the exact day that he was in the news. The news articles appeared yesterday and today in many leading publications (The Guardian, Huffington Post, Business Insider, Daily Mail, Washington Post....). The Guardian describes him as "a prominent neo-Nazi," and other publications use similar wording.
If I understand it correctly, A7 means that the article lacked any indication of the importance of the subject. But since he's clearly prominent, judging from all the news reports, wouldn't it be better to revise the article to give an indication of why the subject is important, rather than deleting it because it lacks this information? Or perhaps to put a notice at the top of the article that it needs this information. Apparently an A7 is a speedy deletion, which is appropriate in cases where an administrator (you, I think) has little doubt that the reason is justified. But that does not seem to be right in this case. Instead of a speedy deletion, wouldn't it be more appropriate to *propose* deletion, then discuss it for awhile on the Talk page to reach a consensus? (Or maybe there was such a discussion, but it was deleted when the article was deleted?)
I can't understand why the deletion was justified, in light of the many news articles.
(I have to admit that I'm not fully familiar with Wikipedia's policies or the mechanics of how deletion works or how talk pages or articles might be archived. So maybe there's already been such a discussion and consensus, and I just don't know where to look for it.)

In the United Kingdom (England and Wales), whether a person has died (in a suspicious, unnatural or unexplained death) from suicide or not, is usually only formally and properly established, concluded or determined by someone called a coroner, in something called a Coroner's Inquest ... until the Inquest on the matter of the death of the late Carl Sargeant AM has been concluded, I would suggest that reports of suicide from even from such eminent and respectable journals as the Mirror, the Guardian, the Socialist Worker and the Morning Star should not be misused here in order to "jump the gun" before the coroner (and his jury, if there is to be one) has actually have the chance of finishing doing his (or their) job under the Coroners Act 1988 (1998 c. 13) [2] and the Coroners and Justice Act 2009 (2009 c. 25) [3]. "From an unconfirmed suspected suicide", not "from suicide". (Under the Contempt of Court Act 1981 (1981 c. 49) [4], which also covers the work of coroners and Coroners' Courts, the maximum penalty according to Section 14(1)(2) [5] is a fine not exceeding £2,500 or 2 years' imprisonment, or both.

You left the following message "Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Sammie. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion." End Quote
Ebonynsweet.com is the faster growing Contemporary R&B Website in the US currently ranked at 8th place. We have 10,000 monthly visitors and have been recognized by Sammie and countless other signed-recording artists on twitter and instagram. Wikipedia allows other R&B websites such as Thisisrnb.com to leave external links on dozens of artist's pages. Why isn't the same standard applied to them? My external links wasn't promotional in nature. They were simply applied to allow the fans to have all the information and easily access his music.
84.56% of thisisrnb.com webtraffic comes from referrals on Wikipedia, check for yourself.

Hi Alex,
I received a message from you regarding my addition on Cypriot National Guard and the Reduction of military conscription in Cyprus site. I had only included the link to reference properly. This is not important, so if the Wikipedia policy is limiting links, then it can just be removed and readers can look it up online.
I dont work for the Cyprus Centre for Strategic Studies. There is a lot going on with the reduction of military conscription now in Cyprus, as this is the longest conscription in the EU. I thought that’s this is significant information thus I wished to add a bit about it. The Cyprus Centre for Strategic Studies is the main centre that deals with military issues on Cyprus. I have published widely on these issues and have included some sources from elsewhere also. The ones from CCSS felt that were adding credibility given its key role in the context of Cyprus.
I am happy to review any of the material if there is something that you believe needs addressing.
Kind regards,
Stratis
