Hi, I was just going through one of my new Wikipedia pages my parents help me build on my favorite fashion designer Michael Kuluva. We all saw that you flagged the post for not having any citations or references to the article, however it was a mistake to press publish when we were not finished yesterday. We have had some immediate help since then and have re-done our page for the fashion designer including more than 9 reputable references. If you could please manually revert your request to get the page deleted, that would be great. Thank you very much. - Serena S. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.214.129.6 ( talk • contribs) 07:38, 9 October 2012

Contribs☽ 00:31, 10 October 2012 (UTC)Hi Dori
Thanks for getting back to me quite a while ago. Its my first chance to follow up. The subject of my article Eric Daman, is an Emmy award winning costume designer. I would think that woul dbe enough to be considered notable, but in addition I have included about 50 references detailing Daman's notability. His name appears on Wikipedia about 50 times also. I am perplexed as to why this article is not suitable for wikipedia.
here is a link to my sandbox with the article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Ericdamanstyle/sandbox

I took down the deletion notice for the Nicki Bluhm article. I did a google search and found some credible sources, including the denver post and espn, so i added them in as citations and placed a more footnotes tag up as well. Just FYI, Righteousskills ( talk) 21:42, 11 October 2012 (UTC)

Hey all :).
We're (very shortly) closing down this development cycle for Page Curation. It's genuinely been a pleasure to talk with you all and build software that is so close to my own heart, and also so effective. The current backlog is 9 days, and I've never seen it that low before.
However! Closing up shop does not mean not making any improvements. First-off, this is your last chance to give us a poke about unresolved bugs or report new ones on the talkpage. If something's going wrong, we want to know about it :). Second, we'll hopefully be taking another pass over the software next year. If you've got ideas for features Page Curation doesn't currently have, stick them here.
Again, it's been an honour. Thanks :). Okeyes (WMF) ( talk) 12:11, 17 October 2012 (UTC)
Dear Dori: was not putting another WP:PROD on Binders full of Women; if that had been the case, your comment would have made perfect sense. WP:CSD an entirely separate and Admin-only criterion. -- Anonymous209.6 ( talk) 04:19, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
The creator of a page may not remove a speedy deletion tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so.
Also, note that the history of Binders full of women included a statement regarding the earlier PROD,
It has enough coverage as an internet meme to reach WP:N. If it is going to be deleted, it should go through the AfD process.
The same absolutely applies regarding CSD as well. If you still have a problem with the article, take it to AFD. Dori ☾ Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 04:29, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

Dear Madam,
A few months ago, I added our gallery name, links, exhibitions on Liu Bolin Wikipedia page but you have deleted our contribution. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Liu_Bolin&action=history
We are now representing Liu Bolin for more than 5 years now, organizing exhibitions selling his work in Europe and China. We could say that we are his main gallery in Europe as Eli Klein in the USA.
So, please, could you explain me why you have deleted our contribution?
Thank you
Best regards,
Geoffroy Dubois

Hi,
I'd only just started the page, and so hadn't expanded it fully/at all. I sent a request for the page to be reinstated, but thought to write here.
Large publishers have pages, why not small ones?
There is a list of dead small presses, why not live ones? With easily accessible, neutral information on their publication history, background and specialisation?

IIRC, the company wasn't set to publish its first book until next month, so it's unlikely to have received much in the way of publicity yet. And if there are no verifiable and reliable independent third party sources with significant coverage on a topic, then there's nothing to use as a basis for an article.

Hey DoriSmith, I saw that you tagged THE DESIREE for speedy deletion under the A7 criterion. When you tag an article for speedy deletion using Twinkle and you didn't access the article from new pages log, it doesn't mark it as patrolled. If possible in the future, can you mark the article as patrolled when you tag it for speedy deletion? Thanks and keep up the good CSD work. -- Luke (Talk) 01:11, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
Hi, I saw that you put a banner for deletion on the Morosoli article, claiming that it has no references. But there is a whole section of bibliography, with numerous articles written on that artist. Isn't it sufficent? Beside, the article is a translation of the one I made in french that have no legiblity concern. Could you indicate me what is missing?

Anyway. You're getting this note because you've participated in discussion and/or asked for updates to either the Article Feedback Tool or Page Curation. This isn't about either of those things, I'm afraid ;p. We've recently started working on yet another project: Echo, a notifications system to augment the watchlist. There's not much information at the moment, because we're still working out the scope and the concepts, but if you're interested in further updates you can sign up here.
In addition, we'll be holding an office hours session at 21:00 UTC on Wednesday, 14 November in #wikimedia-office - hope to see you all there :). I appreciate it's an annoying time for non-Europeans: if you're interested in chatting about the project but can't make it, give me a shout and I can set up another session if there's enough interest in one particular timezone or a skype call if there isn't.

Hello DoriSmith. I just wanted to let you know, that I saw you tagged TalentsFromIndia for speedy deletion for the reason "That's actually only a moderate-sized company (the larger ones are in the thousands)". I am a great fan of this company & as it is Indore, India based company. The number of employees its having is really big & notable for the place it belongs to. You can see other similar companies too which belongs to Indore like InfoBeans. I have updated some references too. Please have a look & don't delete it please. Its a humble request from my side.

Hey there. You tagged the above article as a G1, but judging from the attached Youtube link, it seems like it's a Korean meme, and thus falls under A7. I've changed it to be so. Am i correct? Buggie111 ( talk) 04:02, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Hello DoriSmith. I am just letting you know that I contested the speedy deletion of TalentsFromIndia, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A7: Makes a claim of significance: "the largest web development and web design team in India, having a strength of 100+ engineers and designers".

Hi Dori. I've been running an automated search through Category:Wikipedia administrator hopefuls for potential admin candidates and your name popped up as someone who appears to have all of the qualifications to be an admin. Do you still have any interest in running? If so, do you believe there are any reasons that editors would oppose you at RfA?
If this is something you're still interested in, I'd be willing to go through your contributions in more detail, and (assuming there are no major stumbling blocks) nominate you for adminship. Let me know if you're interested. ‑Scottywong | speak _ 01:04, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
I don't know of any reason I'd be opposed, but that doesn't seem to stop some from opposing anyhow (I spend too much of my time having articles deleted, I don't have any GAs or FAs, insufficient RPPs, WP:WhoKnowsWhatElse…).
Yes, I'd like you to go through my contributions in detail—but feel free to make it very low priority, 'cause I'm fairly busy for the next few weeks.
And again, thanks! Dori ☾ Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 06:04, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
Ok, so I've taken a look at your contributions in more detail. Personally, I would support your RfA. However, I'm familiar enough with RfA to know that you would get some opposition, mainly because your contributions lack any significant content creation. You mainly do more gnomish tasks rather than writing new articles from scratch. Most admins (including myself) perform mostly gnomish maintenance tasks as well. However, many voters at RfA need to have confidence that a candidate understands the content creation process, can tell good content from bad content, has an appreciation for the amount of work that goes into content creation, and is sympathetic to the frustrations inherent in disagreements regarding content.
To date, you've created 10 articles. 7 of them are disambiguation pages. Of the remaining 3, Extreme Reality is unreferenced (and your only contribution to it was the initial page move that created it); Madrona Manor is actually a decent short article (arguably C-class) that recently failed a (somewhat premature) GA nomination; and List of serving utensils is a short list article. As for the articles that you didn't create but made a lot of edits to, more of the edits tend to be reverting vandals than developing content.
I think that if you had a solid GA under your belt, you'd have a very good chance of passing an RfA. If you went to RfA now, you'd probably have about a 50/50 chance, and things could turn ugly. Do you think there is anything more to be written about Madrona Manor? If that article could be fleshed out and expanded, that would probably be your easiest path to a GA.
If my assessment is wrong, please don't hesitate to tell me. I certainly didn't look at every one of your 20,000+ edits, so I could have easily missed something. I hope you don't mind me analyzing your contributions on your talk page in such a brutally honest way (please let me know if you do). Let me know your thoughts on what I've said when you get a chance. Cheers. ‑Scottywong | chat _ 23:23, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I have plans (and a solid source) to take Madrona Manor up to a GA—I just need to find the time that it needs and deserves to do so. Another article where I'm proud of my work is Tom Luckey, although that needs some updating as well since he recently passed away. I didn't create it, but I'd guess about 90% of it is my work. Those are my two DYKs.
Okay if I drop you a line when I think I'm in good stead? Warning: it may take a while. Dori ☾ Talk ☯ Contribs☽ 01:55, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
