I was only reverting vandalism on the page - I did not add the spam myself. I would appreciate it if you would remove the warning you placed on my talk page. Thanks! -- Nevhood 02:17, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Sorry about the recreation of that page on Top-Hat Mafia, i did not realize i needed approval to re-create it, but if its not to much trouble, is there a way you could maby leave it on, its not doing anyone any harm, and i worked really hard on it.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tubyboulin ( talk • contribs).
Just a question, Lueko. What would happen if Top-Hat Mafia alll of a sudden became more famous than most bands today, would i need prior permission to create the article, or could i just do it without telling anyone?? Tubyboulin 19:38, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
I am editing the Haven Institute webpage, which has been marked for speedy deletion. I will begin by removing the external links to the Haven.ca webpage in the body of the article. I expect this is what has prompted the sudden reaction from the editors.
In addition, I will certainly correct anything that will interfere with this article's integrity for Wikipedia. I am learning as I go ... but I am honest and earnest. Please do not remove the page until I have had a chance to correct it.
Thanks.
William Meyer 01:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I understand. I will put my thoughtsonto the article's talk page. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks. William Meyer 02:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
The article was deleted while I was getting my thoughts together to write the TALK section for the article. So, now I am unclear how to respectfully request an undeletion so I can address the issues and alter the article appropriately. Please direct me what to do. Thanks William Meyer 03:05, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
Thanks ... I'll follow up and do this William Meyer 05:53, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Haven Institute. Since you closed the deletion discussion for this article or speedy-deleted it, you might want to participate in the deletion review. William Meyer 07:35, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
I have followed the protocol to request a Deletion Review. Have I done this properly? What is the usual time line on such a process? I am eager to make whatever corrections are required, if the pages are undeleted. Thanks for your help. Respectfully, William Meyer 17:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Hello Leuko,
First, thank you for taking the time to maintain the Arabic Language page and for protecting it from spammer etc. However, my intention were not to "spam" the page with my blog link. I have never posted to a Wiki before so please forgive me for any indiscretions.
Also, I would like you and the others maintaining this page to reconsider your decision to take down the link to my blog. Although I am affiliated with the site, my opinion on the sites and information are impartial because I do not gain in anyway from my blogging nor am i affiliated in anyway with content producers featured on mysite. The only thing produced by me on the page (other than my opinions etc) was the aziizkeez.keylayout file for Macintosh computers. This is of course CopyLeft as far as I am concerned.
I think my pages is incredibly releveant to Arabic Language Learning. And given that most Arabic language learners (in the US) are college students I find my blog to be very relevant because it caters specifically to their learning needs. I myself am an arabic language learner at UCLA.
The resources posted to my pages are very relevant. In fact my Arabic Professor Michael Fishbein (UCLA) has even requested that I write a letter concerning one of my blog entries so that he can distribute it to his students (the one featuring Calkitaab.com) which I am not affileated with and am infact very curious about who runs it myself)
The bottom line is that by restricting my page. You are restricting your readers from gaining access to valuable information. I do not tout myself in the least. I do not gain from it. And could care less if you add my link back, except that I think that your exclusion of my link is not in the Wikispirit because I am sharing something positive and useful. Not just talk.
Regards,
muhammad aziiz palmer
Hi Leuko, can you please explain to me why it is you don't think the Comixfan article meets the WP:WEB notability inclusion criteria? -- Comixfan 07:32, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Just been over this with RJASE1 and am working with him to get the article up to Wiki standards. -- Comixfan 07:50, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
Leuko, can you please let me know how the Comixfan article differs from Wiki article's on other comic news sites that have been around as long as Comixfan, such as Newsarama and Comic Book Resources? Why is it those articles aren't flagged for deletion but Comixfan's is? -- Daelf1969 20:27, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
I think the reason for retaining an article on this - and other comic news sites - has been said best here. -- Daelf1969 22:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey, you just added this on my talk page, and I'm not sure why.

Hi,
I think the Wordpress blog is appropriate as you include: http://www.bipol-art.com.
The Wordpress blog is an educational blog written in a literate style. I don't see how it differs from the bipolar art page. It's also a useful link for people who want to learn about bipolar disorder. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.23.185 ( talk) 02:42, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
But I think that "recognised authority" is somewhat misleading. People would be okay with linking doctor blogs, but not patient ones? Patients are experts on their illnesses. A well-written patient blog is a valuable resource for people who want to learn about the disorder. I think it justifies a fair linkage. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.35.23.185 ( talk) 02:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC).
S'not my blog. Am I doing this right- editing to reply? Sorry, I'm a bit crap. Okay, I'll add it to talk. I guess you're right, though.
I also forgot I have an account. Hello!
Sorry, I messed up trying to reply!
Anyway, okay, I think you're right. I added it to talk anyway.

Hi, thanks for helping me out with the Exeposé entry. I have done my best to cite sources of information, although there are a few paragraphs in the 'Technical Background' section for which there is no published evidence (and is based solely on knowledge from myself, which only a few other people would be able to substantiate). I've read the guidance and this doesn't appear to come under original research, and I'm not sure how this would fit into the general guidance re: citing references. Any help would be appreciated, cheers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Watchdog341 ( talk • contribs) 23:39, 5 March 2007 (UTC).

Hey! i got a message saying i made a change to a page in wikipedia and it was changed back... it is impossible for this to have been me even if it was from this i.p becuz i JUST fixed this i.p recently...(the pc was unplugged and in my closet for a long time and i have no other) and i REALLY REALLY hate learning about rocks (it was a wiki about rocks or something) so i wouldnt have been on a wiki about something like that to begin with. anywho, just thought i'd clear this up, thanks for making sure wikipedia is a safe place for information though, if it werent for ppl like you who go out of their ways to check up on all the new (and old) entries on wikipedia, then ppl like me would have to pay corporate america (like encarta) money to learn shit that should be learned free! thanks! I really mean it! Peace!!!

I would like to appeal to your attention, that I am not inputting a spam on Wikipedia... If users like me are mistreated as such by users and other administrators. How would wikipedia be in its fullest greatness if a user is being harassed. We all intend to give, contribute, and aim meaningful content to wikipedia. Please stay be in control of balancing situations such as this. Thank you —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Reader contributor ( talk • contribs).
When I looked through, it was clear that, while the user certainly might be considered disruptive, they also are discussing the disputed edits. It is a content dispute, despite the conflict of interest. Spamming is, for example, placing a link all over the place, in articles it's marginally related or unrelated to, generally with a total refusal to discuss. Vandalism is defined narrowly for a reason, if you feel that a contributor is being disruptive, ANI or dispute resolution would be a more appropriate step. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:27, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
Uh, there was some problem with your revert, I think, to the Backronym article. Out of fear that I may violate the 3RR rule, I don't want to roll back your revert, but because I just nominated for FA status and was making constructive edits, something should be done. Can you help please? If you roll it back before your pop-up revert, everything should be fine.
Thank you. -- Otheus 10:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

So it does confirm that Mennig is friends with Kermit and the right birds were introduced into Malaysia. Frankyboy5 23:28, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
Kermit actually told me and voted in a poll/forum that the Green Peafowl is maybe six species, only one person voted no, and one person (me) voted yes. Frankyboy5 05:34, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
I'm really happy now that the right form is reintroduced into Malaysia, but the wrong info was published. IMO, most of the stuff about more subspecies have been verified, Mennig said that he is friends with Kermit who made the MSN Group and the gallery, but it would be good to wait until a peer-reviewed paper releases, or if Encyclopedia Gallinacea comes out. Anyway, the mention of more subspecies already exists in the article, and has been verified by Mennig (the thing about them being distinct species hasn't though). All the creepy-looking skins except for the Salween and Spicifer birds, including the golden creepy one, are from Wolfgang Mennig. Kermit just splits them up further into distinct species so you would not get stuff like Pavo muticus javanensis baluranensis. Frankyboy5 21:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Both Wolfgang Mennig and Kermit said they are friends and try to work together as much as possible (remember that large E-Mail conversation up there?). Frankyboy5 02:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
User:Amoun-Pinudjem (Milad Sourial) is Kermit. He is an American of Egyptian descent. His small user page has a mention of peafowl mimicing reptiles. He also called himself Milad Sourial here [3]. He is making a movie called "Goddess of the Sun" [4]. I think he may also be the singer the "AnonYmous Ka", because his myspace page also featured the music. Frankyboy5 02:45, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
He also has a second user account, Contribs with second account. Frankyboy5 03:11, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
That was to confirm that Wolfgang and Kermit work together. Oh, Kermit actually believes in the generally accepted taxonomy, but his preliminary data supports the notion of several species. He is trying to disprove this, but that's what his data shows.
Frankyboy5 00:55, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
User:Pinudjem is a third account from Kermit. Oh no! He changed quite a bit of the article! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frankyboy5 ( talk • contribs)
Kermit has identified my picture of a Green Peafowl at the Taipei Zoo as the Siamese Imperator (Pavo imperator siamensis), which has surprisingly colorful plumage (many think that imperator is rather dull compared to muticus), almost as colorful as the Malay Pahang form (P. m. muticus and P. m. malacense), which is still more colorful. The Siamese form is actually more related to the Indian Peafowl.
Milad Sourial is actually not a name. It's a title. Kermit told me that"
“ | This is my official title as hereditary chief ie Ma'ahes ( hereditary chief) Milad ( born of) Amoun ( Region in Western Desert of Egypt) (0f the house of) Pinudjem ( my ancestral seat's name) Sourial ( Coptic Christian name of our family used like a last name since the Ottoman empire) There is no name there. | ” |

Hi. Union of Progressive Zionists is still a work in progress, but I hope that the references I have included have established the organization's notability.

I've been on Wikipedia long enough. Some rogue asshole bot deleted an article that should not have been deleted. --Nélson Ricardo 19:26, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
What is an encyclopedia? I'd say it is where you turn to find information. The article in question Currents (band), now deleted, was about the authors of a product that is available worldwide, either by ordering a manufactured unit or buying it's contents digitally through iTunes. Information about the band and the album on the internet is limited as of today, why starting an article on the subject made sense to me. I would understand this course of action if an article on a band was created that stated that had not released an album or had released something selfproduced only sold the local friends, etc. Please explain?

Hi, I'm very new to all this and a little confused as ever, but I created a new page (The Shotokan Way) and it is about an online magazine publication.
I understand that because it is web content that it will probably be deleted, but is there anything specific I could do to keep it there, as it is a valid tool for learning.
I have read the page on being notable, but don't really understand how I can do this specifically for this page.
Any help would be great!

I'm trying to add entries about some nonprofits in Seattle that my company, NPower works with. You seem to think that I don't have enough proof that they are notable.

Kermit's notion that Peafowl mimic reptiles has been supported by my own photograph of a Green Peafowl looking at me.
Frankyboy5 07:53, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
Yes, you are right. But I myself am convinced that this is true. But I think it is better to wait until Kermit finishes the book or publishes a paper. Frankyboy5 18:53, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
BTW that is a Siamese Imperator, which is more related to the Indian Peafowl. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Frankyboy5 ( talk • contribs)
I have gotten confirmation from Kermit that he was the guy quoted as "K. B. Woods" in literature/verbally 2000 in the Red Data Book. I always thought that was Kermit because of the similarity of his suggestions (Yunnan subspecies, Green Peafowl monogamous in the wild). Frankyboy5 19:53, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
[5] for mimicry stuff by Kermit. Just look at the resemblance! Frankyboy5 06:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Each species of Green Peafowl lives in a different habitat, which is shared with a species of Lophura pheasant. For example, the Broadleaf forests that the Annamese Dragonbird favors is shared with the Annamese Silver Pheasant Lophura annamensis. Kermit has also split that species, which was originally part of Lophura nycthemera. He believes that L. annamensis also has its own subspecific races too. Frankyboy5 05:41, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

I added the link because the article did not include any mention of the average last frost, which is what I was looking for in the article. I have no affiliation with Victory Seeds, it was simply the top Google hit for "average last frost".
