Here's a reminder per your request. Cunard ( talk) 04:04, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
About the unblock request by User:GreenGobbie92, I think he was not using his old account because he has lost its password - it is pretty much clearly written there. And about User:Graham1973, they could have a same IP address because they might live in same vicinity and use same ISP. Forgetting a password is pretty normal and common. I just want to help a good faith wikipedian get his account back. Give him a chance and keep an eye on him. Keep the other accounts blocked. Cheers.

Hey - there is a reason listed for the removals at List of Legacy of Kain characters. The site no longer exists, and was noted. 60.241.188.222 ( talk) 07:44, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
I need your assistance resolving a bit of a dispute I am currently having with a supposed high-ranking "anti-vandalism" editor- username "Grayshi". Lately, he has been undoing many of the images I had added to the "Chinatown, San Francisco" article some months ago on the grounds of "excessive imaging". He has also basically removed all of the images from the "Kobe Chinatown" article which I had practically edited from the ground up via a pre-existing work. When I pointed out the he had left more images standing in the "Chinatown, Los Angeles" article and hinted at the possibility of a double standard in regards to "excessive imaging", his only response was that the images were irrelevant to the text and that I should read up on the WP files concerning protocols for inserting images. It mostly states that images should correspond to the texts(which I've tried to accommodate), but it doesn't specifically mention that it was required(unless I overlooked that bit), nor did it say anything to the effect of "excessive imaging is a NO NO!"
I also find it highly strange that Grayshi is trying to impose such standards on others, while not following them himself. Many of the images he removed from "Chinatown, San Francisco" were relevant to the text, including one that was of historical importance regarding the section on Ross Alley during the 1880s. In contrast, he has left more lame images standing in the "Chinatown, Los Angeles" page, most of which aren't historically important or relevant to the text, violating his on stance on "excessive imaging". Simply put, he is specifically targeting users like myself and randomly pulling out images without giving much thought. With such obvious display of favoritism towards one article over another, IMO he is also violating Wikipedia's "neutral" policy.
Some of the images in question from "Chinatown, San Francisco" had been there for YEARS before he came along to wipe them out. ---->If possible, could you please tell him to chill out and stop targeting pages edited by certain users and lecturing them on the moral rights and wrongs of Wiki. He's spending way too much time obsessed with removing images, when he could be doing more important things like checking for historical and factual accuracy, correcting mis-spellings, and removing obvious vandalism and obscenities, which I can assure you there are plenty of on Wikipedia.<--- I would also like to mention that I know of a good number of articles the same size with tons of images(often not relevant to the text) that make the "Chinatown, San Francisco" pale in comparison. These are also well-edited articles that are locked/restricted to special editors. For obvious reasons, I will not reveal their identity for fear that Grayshi will wipe them dry of their visual quality as well. To me, images tell a story and convey what can't be described in words. That's what I've always felt about Wikipedia which makes it stand out from other informative sites, and hope to continue to.
Has there ever been complaints against such editors for going too overboard, even to the point of being disciplined? Currently, I am not even working full-time and can barely find time to keep up this insipid battle. Don't some of these editors have lives? Family? Friends? A Pet? Hobby?

James - I know Syclo has been taken off Wikipedia already, but I wanted to point out that there is a valid reason for being listed - "listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications." (reason #2 for company inclusion). Syclo is mentioned in independent analyst reports, among them Gartner MQ ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Quadrant), IDC, Aberdeen and Frost, as being one of the leaders in the mobile enterprise software market. Is this a factor for inclusion?
I'll edit what might be considered "self-promotion" and re-submit, looking at Syclo competitors and partners as examples ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sybase, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIBER) Please let me know if you have any direction.

Hi!
Reckless Love, the Finnish glam metal band is one of the most popular bands in Finland this year. Band's debyt album "Reckless Love" reached the official top 50 list in Finland a week after its publishing. Reckless Love's singles has been in YleX Himotuimmat lists for many times. YleX is a part of the national radio and tv, Yle.
The band is nominated to Classic Rock Magazine Roll of hounour awards as a "Best new band", and for sure, that's a big deal. Band also played two conserts in legendary Download 2010 festival. In this fall it's touring the UK.
I'm a new guy in here Wikipedia, so I dont know how to add references. Reckless Love has got wiki-pages in Deutsch, Español, Italiano and Svenska and it would be nice if the Enlish pages could be done and in safe.
Please, tell me a step by step info so I can add the references. Reckless love ain't no "Article about a band, singer, musician, or musical ensemble, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". —Preceding unsigned comment added by HenriFIN ( talk • contribs) 10:03, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering why you chose to delete the page for existential instantiation. There exists a page for universal instantiation and so it just seems to make sense that there should be one for existential instantiation. Also, the page for instantiation links to both of these two and mentions both as two separate rules of inference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vsaraph ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
I have a vague recollection of contributing to an article about José Carlos Pesina Siller, aka Pepepe, aka Pesina Siller aka Los Amparito. I just noticed in my watchlist that you deleted Pepepe and I can't recollect what the problem was, which bugs me, and there is no summary of any sort. Was it PRODed? Did I PROD it? I recollect it being a direct translation of an article in the Spanish wikipedia. If this is too much of a bother, forget it, I'm sure there was a good reason for the deletion. -- Muhandes ( talk) 15:11, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
I notice that in your recent comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Kacher you wrote "We have also consulted with our attorneys at Reed Smith and are prepared to take this to a higher level if necessary". I am not sure whether you had in mind here possible legal action against the Wikimedia foundation or against another party. Can you please clarify this? It is important to be clear as to whether you intended to suggest possible legal action against Wikimedia, in light of Wikipedia's legal threats policy. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:41, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
This is not against Wikimedia or Wikipedia as I think they are brilliant examples of open source. No other site has grown as fast from the diligence of people who wish to share knowledge.
I notice that you have posted three copies of your comment at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Kacher on my talk page. At first I thought this was a slip due to lack of experience in editing Wikipedia, perhaps inadvertently saving the same edit repeatedly. but looking more closely I found that your three postings were spread over a period of 55 minutes, and I find it difficult to see this as an error. I do not know what your purpose was in making these multiple postings, but please do not do so again. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:54, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
My apologies, James. It was my own lack of experience in editing on Wikipedia. I wrote out quite a bit, so wanted to save it to prevent accidental loss. I did this three times. I didnt realize it would save a newer copy to your page each time. What is the next step in this debate? I am unfamiliar with the mechanics of Wikipedia. I have no problem providing links as I have done, or documents to supplement the claims others have placed on the page. You may notice that there was a debate back in 2007 that I was two different people, but somehow it was settled.
Thank you, Chris Kacher [email protected]

I'm writing to you in response to this: "Hello, Smithfarm. I see that several of your recent edits have been additions of meanings to disambiguation pages for abbreviations. However, a disambiguation page is for distinguishing among Wikipedia articles, not for lists of meanings not linking to relevant articles. Consequently your additions have been reverted."
The edits you are referring to were made when I went to Wikipedia to find out the meaning of an acronym. (This is something many people go to Wikipedia for, I expect.) When I found that the list of meanings on the acronym's page was incomplete, I added whatever was missing. When you revert useful edits such as these, you make Wikipedia less useful to others. Thanks, and happy policing!

That editor hell-bent on adding unsourced trivia to Tom & Jerry articles is back again - editing from 86.157.78.170 for now... perhaps we should look into semi-protecting the affected articles for a while, until that editor cools off, or gets bored? TheRealFennShysa ( talk) 12:46, 15 September 2010 (UTC)
JamesBWatson- You deleted two pages - Globus family of brands and Avalon Waterways. Please provide me the content. Then, I ask that you please not delete these pages again. You cited "advertising" as the reason for deletion, yet both articles were sourced by more than 10 third-party editorial articles and provided much more sourcing than 90 percent of the content on Wikipedia. I understand your aversion to articles about companies, but unless you delete EVERY company on this site, your deletion of both the Globus family of brands and Avalon Waterways was both unfair and unwarranted. Further, the Avalon Waterways page was up for about a month and was edited by several people so in essence, you're telling all of us that our content isn't important by simply deleting it. Believe it or not, the content is important to thousands of people ... They look to Wikipedia to provide their insight about things, people, places and yes, even brands. Please don't simply delete that opportunity because you don't think companies/brands should be represented.
In addition, it's worth noting that I didn't have an opportunity to provide the {{ hangon}} tag for either site before deletion of either site. And, when the Globus family of brands site was originally nominated for deletion from YouSou, it was done while I was still editing and creating the article - another very unprofessional thing to do.

Admittedly, I don't understand all of the rules/criteria of Wikipedia - I'm not sure anyone could. I contested the article deletion at the same time I sent you the email. Clearly, you have a strong understanding of the user-generated content, editor rules, etc. And, while I disagree that the articles I created (Globus family of brands and Avalon Waterways) were "unambiguously promotion" - again, the content was pulled from third-party, editorial resources - I would be grateful for your suggestions for improving the articles so I can restore them. I don't want this to become a tug-of-war, I simply want both the Globus family of brands and Avalon Waterways to have content on Wikipedia and would appreciate your help/advice/suggestions for making that happen.

Hi JamesBWatson. The edit summary here insults me. (The same user also made personal comments about tr.wiki sysops in the same page.)

I also want to comment about this static IP. By his own admission (tr), which you can confirm with another Turkish-speaking contributor, he is a user who has been indefinitely blocked from the Turkish Wiki. As you can see from his contributions here, he has a misconceived perception about a number of sysops at the Turkish Wiki, due no doubt to his inability to accept the wrongfulness and severity of his actions which ultimately led to the indefinite block. Having been called "dictators", "puppets", instigators of "lynching campaigns" and "political enemies", User:Kibele and User:Yabancı are justifiably offended by the personal attacks directed towards them by this IP. It was only moments ago that he tried to provoke (tr) User:Kibele.

I find it absurd that you delete an entire article merely on the grounds of arguing semantics. To give a direct example of your poor argument, I will use the word "semantics" as an example. If I were to google the word "semantics", the very first response I might well get would be the wikipedia page for the word "semantics". The very first statement of the wikipedia entry might begin with "Semantics is...". The following would be the definition of the word semantics. Of course it goes on further to explain more about semantics in general, but it initially starts with the definition, or, rather, embellishes up on the definition. I do apologize for not adding more to each article/entry at the time of their creation, but giving a start to each article does not entail what the entire article is bound to be. I did notice that you did nothing concerning my edits to the Thematic Transformation (Mostly known as Thematic Development). If you would have further looked into why I created those pages with simple definitions it is due to my editing of the Thematic Development page (which should be renamed, and the page should be "re-cached" so it will come up on a google search). I have a very rudimentary understanding of the dealings of creating a prominent page that will show up on google (as far as caches are concerned) which is something that you could help me with. But deleting an entire page based on the argument that Wikipedia is not a dictionary is incredibly ignorant and ironic within itself. An encyclopedia, or encyclopædia, is a collection the entire range human knowledge on many, or sometimes just particular, subjects. Knowledge about something includes, and derives from, its definition! The fact that you misunderstand the definition of the word "encyclopedia" only to tell me that wikipedia is not a dictionary is hilarious to me because of its beautiful irony (unlike Alanis Morissette's song "Irony", which is ironic...). If you are arguing that wikipedia is not an actual encyclopedia of any scholarly kind, then I would agree with you, but if you are arguing semantics, then you are clearly at fault and lack proper judgment in "enforcing" what defines wikipedia.
If you could restore the article and possibly help me to expand it and the many other music articles that are simply vapid, then I would be much obliged. If you can not restore the article due to my incredibly late response, then you, James, have just deleted knowledge and truly fucked up.

P.S. Also, there are pages for "Transposition" and "Inversion" which fall under the grander term of "Permutation" much like "Retrograde" does as they are all types of "Permutation". So, if "Retrograde" must be deleted, then the rest should go as well. If you disagree, then I suggest that you help in adding a page for "Retrograde" and get whoever checks your musical knowledge for wiki to a nunnery (or just a college). In short, just look at this damn article and tell me what you think: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thematic_development
P.P.S. Here's the link to the wikipedia article of "semantics" just in case really need to check: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantics

P.P.P.P.S. Maybe I should just take my "definitions" to your bastard son, wikitionary.

Hey. You deleted Kalifa Fai-Fai Loa which was created by a banned user. From what I recall the page itself wasn't that bad and the player was notable (though maybe unsourced), is there a way I can recover the source and edit it before starting the page again?

Hi: I noticed you deleted the "POLQA" incubator page. That page was in the incubator awaiting review for reinstatement following updating; new external references had been added that demonstrated the original deletion complaint was in error. Could you please reinstate this page at least to the incubator so it can be reviewed, or at least give me some way to retrieve the text so that a new article can be started? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.205.127.124 ( talk) 22:27, 19 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Again: If you review the information here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POLQA, you will see this just prior to your deletion:-
00:50, 25 June 2010 MuZemike (talk | contribs) moved POLQA to Wikipedia:Article Incubator/POLQA [without redirect] (Moving to the WP:INCUBATOR after what may possibly be sources found post-AFD.)
The page was only in question because it seemed to lack external references - otherwise I believe it was a good neutral page, and I'd like to get it back now that the subject matter has received considerable publicity. The page was edited on the incubator page with new references and (I thought) submitted for review - but somehow it got back into mainline circulation and then subsequently deleted. Is there any way to get that text back without re/writing the entire article?
Hi JamesBWatson. Wanted to let you know that Taztouzi is back, making the same old edit [3] [4] [5] [6], and he has also created an article Mohammed Al Maiman containing the same misinformation. I have submitted an SPI request WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Taztouzi. I put various notices on his new talk page [7] [8]. Is there something else I can do? Thanks.

I deleted Eye Candy Films Pvt Ltd for the which I reason stated when I did so, which was the same reason that you were told on your user talk page by the editor who nominated it for deletion. This did not constitute "playing god". (Incidentally, my experience is that generally speaking editors tend to get more cooperation from other editors if they are civil.) JamesBWatson ( talk) 07:14, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Please note the edit that I did was based on reliable sources which I had cited in the articles Battle of Phillora and Battle of Chawinda. I am reverting your edits as the information changed are exactly as mentioned in sources. You can take up the topic on talk page if you have doubt.-- UplinkAnsh ( talk) 12:51, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Why is this page so inappropriate? I mean, I created a lot of good pages such as Viscera Trail and Lehavoth which about known bands, plus I brought lots of info and references and all, and its get deleted without a reason. JackShestak ( talk) 10:26, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi there,
I am editing company pages that I know of and adding information. I just received the message and wanted to edit it to comply with the guidelines... I only manage to go to the toilet and when came back wanted to place {{ hangon}} to edit it...but it was already deleted.
Can I still edit it?

Hi there! Could you please provide me with some information on why the winbank page was deleted? I had started working on the internal links but did not have enough time. What should I change or write different ? Thanks in advance! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bankergreece ( talk • contribs) 13:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Please undo this speedy deletion. I don't believe the nomination was appropriate, and had objected to the original speedy nomination. Rather than addressing my concerns, the nominator seems to have simply replaced the speedy. The AFD appears in the article history, and I see no gain in expunging this from the record, only the likelihood of increased confusion in the future. Hullaballoo Wolfowitz ( talk) 21:01, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
Back on this archived thread on ANI you mentioned using some small range blocks. The user posted again to my talk page saying they plan to be back again tomorrow, and their past record suggests they'll stick around through the weekend. Not sure if it's worth re-applying the range blocks for a few days, or to just go on with revert/block/ignore. As far as vandals go, they aren't really a concern, although they do seem to think that they are the first to use dynamic IPs amd/or proxies, or a much bigger threat than in reality, or some other silliness. Just thought I would request your thoughts on it. --- Barek ( talk • contribs) - 00:16, 23 September 2010 (UTC

You deleted this due to conflict of interest (I think). I've never disputed this situation, but those commenting and editing the PC Power Management article have very similar conflicts of interest and threatened removal of products that did not have an associated article for the organisation. To answer this I created a page in the format of one of the more well-established articles Faronics. I'd ask that this Verismic page be re-instated or that you review what is happening specifically on the PC Power Management article so that the same position is taken across all vendors. There are people on there claiming impartiality when in reality they have a vested interest and I hope it would be clear from the discussion threads that I've tried to point out this in the past. At the moment it seems that people hiding their interest are able to edit or comment as they please whereas I am open about where I come from and that puts me at a disadvantage.
Appreciate your comments. Mgmcginn ( talk) 12:53, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
In some ways I'll be glad to see the back of this because it has been a pain having to keep an eye on it due to other people's activities; it just seems odd that this is singled out when it is very similar to others on the PC Power Management article. Sources listed on the Verismic article were external sources such as Capita, Boulder Valley Schools, various press agencies and so on although yes, some was from the Verismic home site as would be expected. How much is required to justify its continued existence in comparison to the other vendors/products such as PowerMAN (Software), Verdiem etc? I need to understand the fairness in this and to be certain that this is a decision across the board as applicable recognising that some vendors/products based on these criteria would be more notable than ours. If only we have a bigger marketing budget to get more press. :) Mgmcginn ( talk) 13:52, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Slightly frustrated because I had tried to avoid being promotional and making wild claims. I'd tried to be factual as far as possible by just stating what products there were, what they were designed to do without making huge lists of features, and details such as where the organisation was and in what countries. Promotional details are reserved for the website. Is there an example you could quote of someone that has balanced this well? I also realise you haven't reviewed others but maybe it might be worthwhile due to the reasons why this one was created in the first place. You aren't the first to comment that an article of our own is not required for notability as this was previously marked for deletion but then rescinded. This view certainly isn't being shared by everyone and I'm pretty certain me attempting to follow the pattern you've outlined here would be seen as me being fair at all, rather trying to affect competitors. Anonymity could have been far simpler. Appreciate you responding, will stop bugging you soon. Mgmcginn ( talk) 14:17, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
OK. Put simply it feels like my article has been deleted for reasons not being applied to others in this space. Just asking for a level playing field. Please restore it or deal with others related to this in the same way. Too much to ask? Mgmcginn ( talk) 16:52, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
Please can you confirm if this article was tagged for speedy deletion before you deleted it? The article was about a notable product in the field and it is a shame it was deleted without a discussion. Could you have just marked it {{ db-promo}} as you suggested? Perhaps you could restore it to my talk page and I will have a go and re-writing it to avoid any hint of self promotion. Many articles about companies/products work in a similar way so I don't quite get why this one was singled out for such harsh treatment. Hnobley ( talk) 15:48, 22 September 2010 (UTC)
When was this marked for speedy deletion and who by? I had been active on Wikipedia on this day and saw no speedy deletion notice. There had been one a week or so earlier that had been rescinded after discussions with another moderator. In this case the deletion happened so fast there was no opportunity to ask for anyone to hang on (which I know is an option available prior to a speedy deletion) while the article was justified. With the article gone I can't see history of updates but I know it couldn't have been there more than a few hours at most as I was moving between office and home at the time. Did you look at previous conversations regarding notability with Marknutley?
Is Hnobley's suggestion of restoring for him to have the opportunity as an independent to de-promotionalise (is that a word?) it an option? This was a VERY speedy deletion and came as a real surprise. Was this marked by another moderator/administrator? Mgmcginn ( talk) 14:14, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
These things happen, I did try to find out how speedy 'speedy' was meant to be but couldn't find anything that discussed normal periods for response so thought this would probably fall into that grey area. Actually, 25mins wasn't too bad, but without the history I couldn't see it. Appreciate yours and hnobley's involvement here and look forward to the results of the update and hope it's a bit stickier this time. Mgmcginn ( talk) 19:01, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
