Dear WP administrator
I am a Chinese Doctoral candidate, working on a subject which was in a page of WP.
I noticed this page was deleted despite being concordant with WP notability rules (as presented in WP notability page) Can you tell me how to proceed in order to restore this page in respect to WP standards and rules? Please answer in my wp page and to my email : [email protected] Thank you. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luoguozhang ( talk • contribs)
Good morning,
I have some socks and banned-User here around you have to care of. Please have a look on PakistaniNisar, KoonWoz, Bootcamps, 142.204.235.180, 99.245.115.47, 67.208.6.95 and Alexanderofaryana. They are all vandalizing on nearly every article and paste POVs, but not only that. Some of them (if they are not related with eachother or use Proxies) are already banned from Wikipedia.-- Šāhzādé ( talk) 14:53, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
Hey, I saw you changing the image on B.J. Penn (good find btw) and was thinking that the outcropped version of the old one would be a good addition to a few articles (mainly Hughes' and Penn's, but also maybe a weight in section of mixed martial arts or something similar). Thing is, the original image's link gives the HTML of a 404-page so I was wondering if you perhaps had it saved somewhere, or knew where to find it? I think it was of Hughes and Penn, though I might be wrong... Thanks! -- aktsu ( t / c) 07:46, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
You deleted images that I created and uploaded (on the behalf of the Wellcom consortium): Image:WellCom Architecture.jpg and "Image:WellCom Partners.jpg. Please restore these two images. If you do not restore these two images, i will request an administrator intervention. Emmanuel.marilly ( talk) 14:11, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi -
It seems that you have deleted the logo I uploaded that was associated with this article. I've tried to understand the comments, but failed. Could you please explain to me what I did wrong, & what I need to do to put it right. —Preceding

That's what Vintagekits is claiming, and now, since his account has been unblocked, he goes full steam ahead... puts the canadian flag for Lennox Lewis on the list of IBO world champions (Lennox was born in England), and also on the Ring's Top 10 pound-for-pound list... I'm soon going to throw everything away from me... I think I do a good job on the lists, and then, such a person drives you crazy... I hope you will do something, since you already let me down on the "Abraham case"... ;-) Cheers! claudevsq ( talk) 20:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your response at Wikipedia:Suspected_sock_puppets/ScienceApologist_(4th). I am curious. Where did user:DepartedUser admit to being these IPs? Was it public?
Will you also check the threats on my and other editors' lives which ScienceApologist has made. [1] Thank you. -- Levine2112 discuss 03:22, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Please explain the "this was DepartedUser" assertion a bit more clearly on the SSP page, for the benefit of posterity. If the admission was on an external site, how do you know it was really this user, for example? What site was it? Details like that matter. I have dumped some time into investigating this already and was planning on investigating further if circumstances warranted it. Thanks. ++ Lar: t/ c 12:14, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
I beg of you not to call my warning 'asinine', I did the right thing considering the fact that all I was going on was what I considered to be an extremely offensive and hurtful comment. If you believe the warning templates to be such, I suggest you take it up with WP:UW, not me. Good day, sir. — neuro (talk) 03:38, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Morning! Could you chip in on the flagicon-discussion on my talkpage? I'm a bit confused about their allowance in infoboxes (particularly after this edit by you), and have gotten conflicting answer. Thanks! -- aktsu ( t / c) 11:41, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Hi, when you get the chance, would you restore this image that you deleted some time ago for me please? I plan to give it an adequate FUR and use it again in the Hilda Ogden article Image:Hildaogden2.jpg. Many thanks 20:16, 7 December 2008 (UTC)
The talk page for Qilinmon has been recreated because of bot messages. You are the editor who deleted it, because it is a talk page of an indefinitely blocked user. — Mythdon ( talk • contribs) 06:24, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
Can you check out what happened with the Anderson Silva image? It's been OK since October 2007, but was deleted just (CSD I4). Thanks! -- aktsu ( t / c) 02:08, 9 December 2008 (UTC)
Can you undelete Image:Seattle Seahawks Tampa Bay Buccaneers helmets.png? It had not been orphaned for seven days. See diff: [3]. There is another user who is trying to remove it, but since there is a dispute over the image, I think that the editor need to put it through IfD instead of taking it upon herself to remove the image.-- 2008Olympian chitchat 05:58, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

When I discovered my biography April 19 after it was online for over two years, I started developing it as an autobiography. http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ray_Joseph_Cormier&oldid=220975243
All of this was done under the radar, until I realized myself, how I was writing it was not appropriate, so I reached out to more experienced Administrators for help to make it conform to Wikipedia requirements for a BLP.
A small group of Editors decimated it to just a shell of what it was, and while I was disappointed, I accept and understand why it had to be done. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Joseph_Cormier
Yesterday, one of those Editors placed a new tag on the article which I view as the preliminary step to deleting the article, notwithstanding the many valid references which have not been reflected in the biography and can be seen here: http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2003596&l=16beb&id=1294974109
I have recused myself from editing it, and no one else has come forward to take on the project. Will you please explain to me the implications of this new tag? DoDaCanaDa ( talk) 13:27, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
If you go through every biography on Wikipedia I don´t think anyone else will have accumulated so many independent from the subject, reliable sources over a period of many years in many different newspapers in many different cities where the Editors choose the header ´Prophet´ to describe anyone. I did not choose those headers. Is that stand alone significance, irrespective of whether any POV is secular, atheist, agnostic or whatever?
I have expressed to you and many others in discussions here I consider the inclusion of the Declaration on Remembrance Day 1985 to be very significant for inclusion in my biography as in the old version:
On Remembrance Day 1985, in the presence of the Governor-General of Canada, Government Leaders, the Military, Ambassadors of the Nations and 25,000 people he publicly declared,
"Hear O people and Nations, even to the ends of the Earth, the Word of the Lord God who is, and was, and is to come, The Almighty. The Lord has a controversy with the people. Do you do well to honour the dead, and yet, deny the God of the Living? Why do you follow the vain traditions of men, and make of no effect, the principles of God? You come here for one hour one day a year in a great show of public patriotism, and then forgetting, go back to work and make the same careless mistakes made by the generations prior to the 1st and 2nd World Wars. Hitler was killed, but it's his legacy that remains. A Soviet-American military-industrial complex consuming $trillions of dollars every year, holding the entire World hostage............"
"Hostage" was the last word he said perched on a bus shelter roof, as police got up and grabbed his megaphone. He was arrested for shouting, causing a disturbance, convicted and fined $250. He appealed without a lawyer to the Supreme Court of Canada. [16] [17] [18]
It seems to me an encyclopedia exists to inform, and this just doesn´t do it as it is current in my biography:
In 1985, in the presence of government leaders and a large crowd commemorating Remembrance Day, Cormier climbed onto a bus shelter and shouted a religiously-themed anti-war speech through a megaphone until he was arrested and fined $250 for causing a disturbance. He appealed without a lawyer to the Supreme Court of Canada, but the Court would not hear the case.[9] [10] [11]
I understand the requirement for independent, reliable sources. I e-mailed you the Government of Canada Department of Justice legal brief, as they opposed my appeal of the conviction for the action to the Supreme Court of Canada. The Government of Canada confirms the exact words and environment as I wrote them in the old version. I do not understand how this site will not recognize an Official Document of the Government of Canada as being reliable and obviously, unquestionably, independent of the subject? Those words are not under any copyright. What could move an individual to stand up and make such a Declaration on Remembrance Day? Perhaps the site should modify the rules.
Humanly speaking, I had a hard sell on this site and I´ve been disappointed many times in the discussions. Humanly speaking, I´m disappointed not one religious leader or organization will acknowledge my letters with the link to the old version. Pat Robertson, Jeremiah Wright, all the TV Evangelists, the Oldsteens. I can understand lack of response on this predominately secular site. Actually I´m surprised the religious have no questions. Like I said, it´s been tough, and by God, I´m still at it after all those references back to 1976 in my biography and that is significant. Peace DoDaCanaDa ( talk) 22:36, 13 December 2008 (UTC)

Eric, if I needed help, it would be helpful now here http: Talk:Ray_Joseph_Cormier#Question_of_Notability DoDaCanaDa ( talk)
I didn´t realize Wikipedia has an hierarchical system for the value of different City Daily Newspapers. A reliable, independent source should be just that. Reference # 16, MacLean´s Magazine is Canada´a National Magazine. Armageddon is mentioned in that report before CNN and other mainline News media were using it along with doomsday and the abyss to describe the current financial meltdown which I discussed July 3rd in the talk of Ground Zero by the writing: The global system is just entering the time when this line from Rev.18 will be seen and believed: And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buys their merchandise any more.
That is a chronological fact. It is also a chronological fact that six weeks later, the global system just began to see it.
The Information RedPenOfDoom removed was my attempt to correct a simple typo error in the old version in the history. In the section Power, Politics, Religion: Late at night on August 23rd 1978, he happened to be near the Langevin Block as Pierre Trudeau's limousine and RCMP Security detail pulled up. As Trudeau got out of the car, Cormier said, "Peter, feed the sheep." Passing by, he shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Alright! Alright! I'll feed the sheep" and rushed up the stairs to his Office. Three days later Pope Paul VI, successor to the Apostle Peter, to whom Jesus first spoke those words in John 21:15 [5], died. The actual date was August 3, not 23 as typed.I also sent you the Official RCMP reports that documents and confirms the essence of what I wrote concerning these incidents.
While The Kansas City Times no longer exists, theThe Kansas City Star now owns the copyright to the information. Reference #24, ´Prophet chooses Park for Vigil' is dated September 13, 1976 and from my POV is an historical record and sign of things to come. I am quoted in reference 24 as saying, ¨To tell the World, from Kansas City, that this Country has been found wanting, and its days are numbered.¨
You may recognize these thoughts from the Writing on the Wall from Daniel V in the captivity of Babylon. The statement combines the first two parts of the writing in one sentence. The third part says, ¨Your Kingdom is divided, and delivered into the hands of the Medes and Persians.¨ Babylon is the ancient name for the land of Iraq and Persia is the ancient name for the land of Iran.
This was two years before the Americans were held hostage in the hands of the Iranians. Who could have seen 32 years ago the United States, Iraq and Iran would become so entwined, repeating that 3600 year old Biblical Babylonian history? This can only be recognized with the benefit of hindsight. Either that is a lot of random co-incidence or part of a longer term Divine Plan. Subsequent events will reveal that. There is much more sign and wonder in Ref: 24. If the 1st part described above does not fit in, it´s pointless at this time to expand on the rest.
At this point I don´t know if or how any of that could be incorporated into the article. It will take an Editor more clever and experienced than I to find the way. The article is relatively new and raw and the guidelines say that is acceptable for a time. The only consensus I can reach with you and others is that the Article as it is needs to be improved.
To be personal and honest, until I discovered my Biography April 19, I was in a deep rut. I was in a long period like Jonah in the Whale, trying to escape from doing what I had to do. Wikipedia has re-activated me, and that is good.
From the significant response to my writing and Wikipedia links mentioned above, just be patient. The references clearly show a record of going Public and withdrawing for a period of time over the last 32 years. This is just the last phase. Be assured there will be many more independent and reliable sources that meet Wikipedia´s requirements. Many thanks for your help.
If the world was surprised by the sudden appearance out of nowhere of Sarah Palin, just wait.

Sorry, I didn't see Lenna.jpg & Lenna.png were in need of attention. Can you restore them (with the talk pages), and I'll add source/fair use justification as needed? — Chowbok ☠ 21:45, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading or contributing to Image:Ec logo.png. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia constitutes fair use. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale.
If you have uploaded other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Fastily ( talk) 03:29, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

I saw a map image on the New Zealand article which had only partially named an island. So I grabbed the image, photoshopped in the full name, and uploaded it back to wiki. I obviously couldn't claim the work as my own, because it isn't. Instead, I stated something like I was simply amending an existing image. One of the bullshit bots reckoned that's not good enough, but of course didn't say how to fix the problem, or fix it itself. So now it's been axed from wikipedia, and also from the New Zealand article by you. Still, there might be someone out there who says it is an improvement. Can't think who tho.

Hi, you deleted two images I had on my watchlist as "redundant to another image." They were File:Lehigh COE Logo.png and File:Lehigh COE Logo.jpg.

Hello,
I saw that you added a .png for the File:WestLibertyFoods Logo.gif image I uploaded to Wikipedia and switched the article that used the gif to the png. I wanted to suggest that if this is something your bot does regularly, you might want to add a feature that puts the now unusued gif images on track to be deleted. It will be sad to see my first Wiki image go, but probably appropriate for that to happen. Dekkanar ( talk) 18:32, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

I was wondering if this might have come up before. Back in October,
you deleted the placeholder image for the FA-quality
300 article. I understand that [
someone else had replaced it with an image that turns out to be less than ideal.
I've since put the correct image back in, and added all the appropriate rationale, summary and licensing. If you could take a gander at it and make sure it is okay, I'd very much appreciate it.
Now, for the big question. Has it come up before about protecting those images in FA articles to keep them from being overwritten? The initial image was from a site closer to the WB source than the current one, and it seems like a pain in the ass to undo the mistakes/personal ennui of an editor not clear on how to upload a new image. Thoughts? -

Thank you for uploading Image:Cnjlogo.png. However, there is a concern that the rationale provided for using this image on Wikipedia may not meet the criteria required by Wikipedia:Non-free content. This can be corrected by going to the image description page and add or clarify the reason why the image qualifies under this policy. Adding and completing one of the templates available from Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy. Please be aware that a non-free use rationale is not the same as an image copyright tag; descriptions for images used under the non-free content policy require both a copyright tag and a non-free use rationale.
If it is determined that the image does not qualify under the non-free content policy, it might be deleted by an administrator within a few days in accordance with our criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions, please ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thank you. Mister Senseless™ ( Speak - Contributions) 03:33, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
