Thanks for listing this for AfD. After I did some research I discovered it was a copyvio. Cheers, Fang Aili talk 20:00, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
This user appealed on the unblock-en-l mailing list (since you don't have a valid email, they went there). I can send you a copy of what has been said, mail me via my talk page link. I am of a mind to allow the user another chance if they commit to not keep recreating this same article over and over... would like to discuss with you first though. ++ Lar: t/ c 13:41, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
That was discussed on the suggestions page. Some people may not have the Turkish characters on their computers and will thus see something like Vak?fl?, which looks really unproffessional especially on the main page. It certainly cannot be avoided in the article itself, but I agree with Smurrayinchester and Free smyrnan, who found it to be better idea to only use Latin letters in the DYK hook.-- Carabinieri 22:44, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
I'm just wondering why you deleted the Soldier Front article. On the deletion talk page it was about half and half and in the extentsion it was about 3 to 1 for keeping it and 2 or 3 comments on it. The article followed most standards and was still being edited. I don't see the justification in deleting it. If you could reply that would be great because I worked alot on that page to get it up to standards and I really don't understand why it was deleted.
Thanks,

Hi, NYC JD. The rules about spelling variants are here. I point you in particular to the following highlighted sentence: If there is a strong tie to a specific region/dialect, use that dialect. I adopted that principle because David Hicks is an Australian. We don’t spell "defence" as "defense" over here. The only concession we make is where "defense" is part of a formal title, such as the US Department of Defense. I therefore left that one alone, but changed all the references to his "defense team" etc to the Australian usage. I think this is perfectly legitimate for an article about an Australian. I’m sorry you thought this was rude. There was certainly no intention on my part to be rude. I hope you can understand where I’m coming from. Cheers. (Btw, it looks like you've been around Wikipedia for about a week; I've been a Wikipedian for over 3 years. I say in all sincerity that maybe you ought to check out the rules in future before contacting others about their apparent errors. All the best.) JackofOz 11:20, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
I note you blocked User:YeLLeY511 as a "spam-only account", and the block log states that the user is "apparently a paid promoter for a wrestler". What leads you to believe that she is a paid promoter rather than a fan? It is true she uploaded many images, but she hasn't "spammed" them on Wikipedia; they were for use in the Brimstone (wrestler) article. — Psychonaut 17:42, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi, I noticed you closed the deletion debate about Oli Sykes. I am not contesting this, however, I just wish to know a few things.
Firstly, why are people saying it is self-promotion, when I created it, and am not Oli?
Secondly, why are bigoraphic articles such as
Matt Heafy still standing, when they could be delted for the same reasons, as they are unreferenced? They are both notable people!
I would appreciate it if you could explain these things, as it may help me in the future.
Many Thanks,

An IP question made in good faith: are you permitted to use a computer or edit Wikipedia during Shabbat? Just curious. No need to answer and you can delete if you find the question offensive or otherwise spurious. Many thanks. 74.12.77.241 04:34, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Ok, that was highly amusing. However, the caption while funny was slightly non-neutral. I've modified it to be neutral (if you can find a neutral, humorous way of mentioning it I'm all for it). JoshuaZ 05:01, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Incidentally, do you have a citation that using a stapeler is included? From what I know of halachah it almost certainly would be, but a quick glance didn't find an explcit source for it. (If you don't have one, I'll check for citations tommorow when I have access to more sephorim). JoshuaZ 06:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
NYC JD, Why did you remove the Speedy Delete tag that I put on Image:Ejaculationexample001.jpg. Did you deem it a scientific display? Is it such an encyclopedic example that it must be kept? Let me guess. "Wikipedia is not Censored", "there is no consensus to remove it", "any action must be discussed on the talk page", blah blah blah, I've already heard that. Can you tell me something new? If you can't, then I will. At the Sexology and Sexuality articles of the english Wikipedia, the lunatics are running the asylum. If you think that this image is scientific, encyclopedic, and would pass the Miller Test in a United States court of law, then hold still, let me get your Straight jacket. Infofreak 15:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
So you mean to tell me that you can't Speedy Delete an image? Infofreak 15:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi I'm new to Wikipedia...but having fun. I'll give you a yell if I get stuck. Thanks NYC JD for you alterations to the Colin Skinner page...you made some great improvements. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Lanagode ( talk • contribs).
Thanks for your support in my recent RfA which passed unanimously - thus proving that you can indeed fool some of the people some of the time. I'm still coming to terms with the new functionality I have, but so far nothing bad has happened. As always, if there's anything you need to let me know, just drop me a line on my Talk page.

Hi, NYC JD. Sorry, no images, formatted text boxes, or form messages here. A personal thanks for your support at my RfA. And, I must say, an unexpected one at that. ;) We may have had our differences, but I will say here and now: I have learned a lot from you and your approval means a lot. Undoubtedly, if I step out of line, you will let me know. I expect it, and welcome it. By the way, I didn't need to be a sysop, I figured it out (albeit around 5 supports later!) ;) Bubba hotep 21:52, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Just thought I'd let you know that I've now changed my signature due to the concerns you raised, I actually had an issue raised with my signature a couple of months ago, so I altered it from around 500 characters to 250(ish) characters, I fully understand your concerns here, so I have now dropped all the colours and the general fancy layout, hope its now OK for you, cheers Ryanpostlethwaite contribs/ talk 02:30, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm not clear on why you deleted this image. It was never listed on WP:IFD. It was used in no articles for a few minutes, but I think it should probably be added back to Richard Kyanka. However, I don't know where it came from, don't have a copy on my own computer, and most importantly, I don't know how (if) it was licensed for use on Wikipedia.

With respect to you and your opinions I think your comment on my now witdrawn RfA was a little inappropriate, I edit wikipedia so that I am making a difference, not just to become an administrator, people are focusing on the most silly areas and ripping adminship candidates apart, although you did not do this and I have the utmost respect for your opnion and comments.

Hello, I've used this site as ref for a while now. However I have only recently joined then created an article on the Guild that I am a member of 'British Film Designers Guild'. I'm having a spot of bother getting your requirements right. Mainly verification citing and notability. I've added various sources and have authority to use the logo, plus referenced the importance of the Guild's role to British Cinema, training organisations and even working with the UK government. Have I done enough to warrant an entry? We are the UK smaller brother of your big USA Art Directors Guild organisation which has quite a presence here on wiki training.
You have so many help pages I'm getting a little swamped by info and I'm not much of a surfer and programmer to start with.
Many thanks( Kodystanton 12:59, 9 March 2007 (UTC))
Would you mind re-looking the article over? It's been re-done and a lot of things have been sourced, words have been made more generic, and it's been copyedited by several editors. Also if you have any specific objections I'll be glad to address them. Quadzilla99 09:58, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your comments on my my recent RfA in which I withdrew because the oppose votes were almost equalling the supporters. I then decided to leave my account (Tellyaddict) and start fresh under a new username, however I quickly decided to reconsider after another user persuaded me not to leave the account - I am now glad I did reconsider because leaving that account and creating a new one was too hasty so I've decided to improve rather than starting again! I hope we can remain civil and that there were no negative feelings caused. Again, thanks for your support even though you opposed and I withdrew it, your vote is much appreciated!

It looks like WP:FU is changed. It used to explicitly forbid galleries of FU images, now it does not. See Wikipedia talk:Fair use/Fair use images in lists. Still it is usually seen the Criteria 3 and 8 of Wikipedia:Fair_use#Policy forbids most of the galleries of fair use images

Hi! I'm sparring with you on the Shark Island Challenge article but I need your help elsewhere. There is a user who is constantly reverting edits to the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu article stating unsourced claims (the article itself has already lots of unsourced claims :-) about its origin. Its consensus among editors that BJJ came from Judo when Mitsuyo Maeda teach it to the Gracies in Brazil. I've provided sources for that in the talk page and also tried to contact the user User:DrParkes on his Talk page but it was of no use. He keep reverting the article every time, on and on again. I don't know how to proceed without asking for protection of the page or blocking of the user. I will refrain from reverting but in doing this the current article is in the state the misbehaving user always wanted. While this page stays like that, this user is "winning" this revert war and forcing his wrong POV on a relatively popular article. As an admin you may have some suggestion towards solving this problem and I am eager to hear them. Regards Loudenvier 17:14, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello, User 80.58.205.35, who has been consistently working on the same articles as DrParkes and I speculate may be DrParkes, has removed the #REDIRECT from /Brazilian_Jiu_Jutsu (which previously redirected to the main article, Brazilian_Jiu-jitsu, you were involved in semi-protecting) and has replaced it with most of the inaccurate version that DrParkes (and 80.58.205.35) have been forcing on the main article without discussion. I have replaced the redirect for now but expect it to be gone before too long, and I note that this backs up Loudenviers argument that they were in fact performing Sneaky Vandalism - this is an obvious attempt to circumvent the semiprotection of the main article and DrParkes's blocking. Requesting some help, thanks. FlowWTG 20:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Your deletion was unwarranted. Before jumping to conclusions, check the facts first. The person is a pop composer widely known in Russia and the article gived significant number of hints about person's notability. The article itself lists bare facts, a single hype sentence, which can be easily deleted instead of the whoile article surely is not "blatant advertising". `' mikka 18:31, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello! I noticed that you removed Jay Rabinowitz from WikiProject Biography's politician workgroup. It is hard to tell if a judge should be counted as "politician". However, in Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography/Infoboxes, the page list "judges" as part of "politics and government" workgroup. Can you please clarify the ambiguity? Thanks! Wooyi 20:12, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi again! I think DrParkes had started autobiographical articles if he is in fact Barry Ley as I suspect, or he is closely related or has a vested interest on Barry Ley and Blaggers. I have tagged those articles. He make irrational claims about notability (the best seller book..., known for his contribution to the world of BJJ..., inventor of one of the only 3 techniques named after a modern practitioner of BJJ...). He is only a BJJ blue belt, and unknown in the BJJ scene. I don't know how to properly deal with these issues. I think AfD would be great but since I have some trouble with DrParkes before, this could look like retaliation (which it isn't, I assure you). I was about to edit his articles to remove unverifiable references and facts but thought it would be better to let it intact so that the article itself would be evidence of its autobiographical nature. Can you lend me a hand (without blocking me again!) Loudenvier 20:18, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

There is a suspicions that 3 new users may be sockpuppets of DrParkes(blocked by you for a 3RR violation), or at least each other. While they have steered clear or the BJJ article, other articles created by DrParkes have been edited including a near edit war to maintain the AfD template on one and trolling on talk pages.

Hey, I am new and made a change to the U.S. Constitution page. The number of amendments to the Constitution have been changed from 32 to the correct 27.

Is there a way to remove the edit (changing James Madison) from appearing in the history? Thank you!

I'd like to inquire as to the reason that my edit to eliminate POV in the second amendment section was changed. Considering there is ample debate as to the interpretation to the amendment, it would only be factually accurate to sum up the amendment with all points considered. After all, the militia is the first stated and, arguably, the point of most independent emphasis. Aceholiday 15:21, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I blanked it because I thought your comments were inappropriate. If you have a problem with someone's edits, say it out right. If you don't, why bother someone? Just like you deleted his comments, he had the right to delete your unhelpful remarks, too. I don't expect you'd have a good justification for what you have done, so I really don't want a response. I just honestly doubt 67 really understood, or understands, why you decided to block him.

Hey, the hiding of Table of contents doesn't really because it's a long article and so it's easier to go to the different parts of the article from it. It also doesn't look better because the overview is where the bat and ball looks more acceptable than it be in the result more than half way, because the the real short overview=its a bat and ball game. Also the [edit] "buttons" go down in the text part of the section. I'm not trying to put "ownership" on any article and if it does look like that I apologize but can you have a look you self and see if it indeed looks better.-- Thugchildz 23:27, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Without going into lots of detail, I contend that the article did not meet Wikipedia's deletion criteria and that there was no consensus for this deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Faye Turney.

Inasmuch as I am an unabashed textualist and strict constructionist (to be sure, many of the policy outcomes I prefer are more readily advanced, at least at present, under a looser standard, but I resolve the problem simply by counseling that one need not be bound by the Constitution or the vast majority of laws promulgated thereunder if he has not acceded to the Constitution, which argument, though in its exposition rather pretty, seems, for some reason, unlikely ever to draw widespread favor in the courts), I had to chuckle at your semi-protection of the Fourteenth Amendment article; I imagined Nino Scalia walking to the National Archives and affixing to the Fourteenth (I'm sure RBG would be a vicious wheel-warrer, though).

Hi,
Strictly speaking, I did it as an editor, and you are free to revert me. Understand, though, that the closure of the AfD is not binding on any consensus at the talk page to undo the redirect. The matter didn't need to come to DRV in the first place, because the choice between redirecting or leaving the article fully available is editorial. Anybody -- with a good reason -- can revert the redirect, subject to talk page consensus. So, if some folks want it redirected, and some don't, you'll need to work that out at the talk page. AfD is a forum for deletion -- any other choice it makes (to merge/redirect, etc.) is subject to regular editorial processes. Best wishes, Xoloz 17:15, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

You blocked me for 48 hours for making 5 reverts to the article on Ngo Dinh Diem. I believe that block was unjustified. Wikipedia instructs persons in my position to seek dispute resolution. The dispute resolution page says to first talk to the parties. So here I am.
I believe the block was unjustified for two reasons. First, I made no reversions after being warned by an administrator named Nishkid64 (more of him later). Second, my reversions were made to reversions to my text by a "gang of three" users, Sarvagnya, Blnguyen and Nishkid64. [Compare http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff122831452&oldid=122813951 with http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff122866157&oldid=122831452; compare http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123117614&oldid=122866157 with http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123118339&oldid=123117614; compare http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123119486&oldid=123118339 with http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123123116&oldid=122119486; compare http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123123773&oldid=123123116 with http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123126395&oldid=123123773; compare http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123128004&oldid=123126395 with http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123229950&oldid=123128004; compare http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123248049&oldid=123230390 with http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Ngo_Dinh_Diem&diff123256982&oldid=123248049. Nishkid64 then reverted my last change for good measure. [See [6].
All in all, this crew ganged up to revert my edits seven times. I don't think I should have been punished for fighting back. Accordingly, I ask that you remove any record of my having been blocked out. -- VnTruth 01:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
For coming along and saving Sheikh Adelabu. I felt awful about that one because I was the one who tagged it the first time around, which seemed to get it up on radar, so to speak, and set into motion events that might have really discouraged (with a second speedy delete) what appears to be a good faith editor (not complaining for flaming or pouting, just pretty dilligently trying to do what we're asking of him--er--I'm assuming it's a him anyhow).

NY Sun may be respectable, but it is quite unreliable. The 'facts' about Neturei Karta, such as it being a chasidic sect are just incorrect. It is neither chasidic nor a sect. -- Redaktor 15:24, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
As someone who can speak on behalf of MuslimMatters.org (I am part of the editorial board), I am grieved at your misrepresented and misinformed claims about MuslimMatters.org. You stated:
Finally, I was disturbed to read the following exhortation on the linked-to MuslimMatters site, ***which was probably responsible for some of the SPAs that flooded this AfD: ***
And may I ask on what basis do you state that? At any point, did MuslimMatters post a statement on the blog to 'flood' this AfD? This is pure unfounded speculation that merits an apology.
Using Shaalan's death as an opportunity for evangelism is quite unsightly, and weighs heavily against the opinions of the "keep!!" SPAs at this AfD. The outcome of the debate is Delete. -- Y not? 03:23, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
This is another case of speculative discourse. Did you even request clarification of what was meant by this statement? Of course not. It seems that you have chosen to ignore the Islamophobic charges, yet you have yourself dived neatly into what merits that charge. So, let me explain it to you and to other readers, since I am the one who added the comment you refer to. The point of the 'dawah' was to show the average American, who does not share the Muslim faith, who has been exposed to vast Islamophobia, who hardly gets to hear the other side, an opportunity to see a Muslim as a hero; someone who gave up his life to save the life of a person who did not share his faith. That is the dawah I referred to. I am not naive enough to assume that we are close to the point of using the mass communication channels for evangelism; rather, we just want people to consider us as normal, average human beings. If you disagree about the public opinion regarding Muslims, then you are the one in need of serious fact-check. Furthermore, your comment had absolutely NOTHING to do with the reasons for keeping or deleting Waleed's entry. Rather, it had all to do with your own prejudices against Muslims. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Abureem ( talk • contribs).
1) I am not sure what you are getting at, but I'll try to answer it anyway. Like any other blog, we are opinion-givers and hopefully opinion-makers. In this case, we asked our readers to get the word out on Waleed's heroism, because it didn't seem to be making as much news as we believe it deserved. To get the word out where? Everywhere. On their blogs, in their emails, etc. What is wrong with propping up someone's heroism? This has nothing to do with Wikipedia, and at NO POINT in any blog entry or comment, did we advise readers to come to Wikipedia and lobby for him. Is that clear now? So, this is direct contradiction to your allegation/insinuation that we somehow 'caused' the flood of 'keep comments'.
2) How and when did I suggest that charges of Islamophobia should be any consideration of anything? I merely pointed out your assertion of ignoring Islamophobia and stating that I could see signs of it in your comments. My "Keep" vote is simply and objectively due to the fact that Waleed's story was highlighted in many media stories and he became somewhat of a hero in Egypt. He is notable and deserves the mention, and he would be notable whether he was a Muslim, Christian or a Jew.
3) My basis lies in how you misconstrued what I stated in my comments regarding dawah.
4) This is a repeat of #2. The only reason I brought up public opinion in my previous comment was to explain the context of my comments on MuslimMatters.org and to refute your allegations.
5) That didn't sound like an apology for your clear misrepresentation of MuslimMatters.org.
Abureem 21:00, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
You removed the link to the reputable Muslimmatters blog for Waleed Shaalan that has been linked and referred to by People Magazine, by Arabisto.com and others. Yet you left Reference#18, which is to a blog.
It seems that you have something personal going on here. I don't want to bring up your stated religious background but I hope you are not on your own personal religious crusade here. Abureem 15:40, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for your response. I am his daughter and am also a well-documented journalist. I am trained to be unbiased.
Over the years, there have been numerous articles written about Mr. Raiford. I am in the process of accessing the archives of the Greensboro Daily News and Record. I paid to have the article downloaded. The article I referenced was not only an obit, but a compilation of many articles written by Jim Schlosser about Mr. Raiford. Mr. Raiford was also in the Carolina Peacemaker many times and I am in the process of gathering those referenced materials.
I would think that a man who helped break the color barrier at a then all-white Greensboro Police Department is notable. He was one of only six men recruited. This man also played in the Negro Major Leagues for the Homestead Grays and the New York Cuban Giants.
I will stop editing the article if you would be so kind as to take over or have someone else write it if you feel someone else will do a better job. If you have an e-mail address, I would be delighted to forward news articles to you to reference.
Because of Mr. Raiford's outstanding contribution to human rights, a swimming pool in the Warnersville community of Guilford County bears his name.
Mr. Raiford also represented North Carolina at the Munich Games. Yes, he is notable.
Thank you for your consideration and understanding. I look forward to working with you.

Hello, thanks for the comment. I've debated about making an RFA, I tried a peer review and things went fairly smoothly; I've tried to learn from the recommendations there (uploading to commons and being better about edit summaries). The only thing that's kept me back is this lingering question of: "will I get too involved?" (I think many web-users ask themselves that); the converse of that thought is, as long as I stay as involved as I am now, I'll likely be okay. So far that thought is winning, thus at this point I would accept a nomination. -- Bobak 00:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Well... looks like things worked out. I must admit that my RfA managed to defy whatever expectations I may have had. Thank you, warmly and sincerely.

I wonder if I might solicit your opinion with respect to two unrelated issues relative to each of which you are well-wiki-qualified. You will recall that we differed here over whether Camara was necessarily notable as having been the youngest-ever HLS grad (we both, though, supported keeping, and so I'm quite glad to see that a decent article now exists), and I wonder if your views with respect to prospective biographees Angela and Diana Kniazeva, about whom Eugene Volokh wrote here (his claim of fair use on the attendant photo, quite interestingly, is one that we would probably have rejected here even pre-"replacable fair use" deletions), might be similar. (Feel free to excise this part of my message if it inappropriately references any history here.)
Separately, you may well have seen the notes on AN or VP concerning the RfBA underway for FearBot, which would serve to tag new articles that meet certain spam- and nusiance-related guidelines for PROD or speedy; inasmuch as you are a (properly righteous if perhaps not infrequently unnecessarily brusque) staunch defender of WP:BITE and the extension thereof to the quick tagging of (not blatantly unencyclopedic) new articles, you may, I imagine, have some thoughts.

Hi there, I was checking through your history and noted that it only went back to 22nd February 2007 (including edits before you usurping Y from User:JD NYC), yet you seem to be a sysop, and you semed to have formerly been one (as shown by this edit). Can you please explain that and why the history seems to have been removed? It seems very bizarre. - Halo 01:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Hi Y. I'd like to thank you for your support of my RfA. It was closed at surprising 75/0/0, so I'm an admin now. MaxSem 22:01, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
User:Kerbaby made a real mess, and moved the page Talk:Olexandr Horshkov (now just a redirect to a non-existing page) through several non-descript pages to Talk:YTHFY, which you deleted. That page contained at least templates for the biography project and the WikiProject Russia, but possible more (I can't see that, as I'm no admin). Could you please undelete Talk:YTHFY and move it back to Talk:Olexandr Horshkov? Thanks! Er rab ee 00:32, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

I know it was. I have seen Gracenotes at TfD numerous times and often look for his vote in discussions for a balanced and knowledgable opinion. I found the treatment he received on his RfA to be among the most unfair things I have ever seen here. I hate to be so curt in my response to you (although we disagree frequently, I respect you as an administrator and editor), but this is really how I feel about the situation. Sorry :( .

Thanks Y, I was just about to do the same. Wik idea 15:14, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
I changed the spelling because it is an article about Rabbi Scheinberg, an ashkenazi rabbi who certainly uses that pronunciation and I therefore thought it more appropriate to spell it that way.
Thank you for participating in either of my unsuccessful requests for adminship. Although the experience was frustrating, it showed me some mistakes I was making, and I hope to learn from those mistakes.
Please take a few minutes to read User:YechielMan/Other stuff/RFA review and advise me how to proceed. Best regards. Yechiel Man 21:21, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

You require perfection of administrators, but your records are sealed, then you're flippant to people who voice concern? It's nice when your own glass house is hidden behind a brick wall, but while it is, please don't demand perfection from others not so fortunate as to be able to afford the bricks, and please don't be flippant to other editors about your privilege-washed identity. You are the one voting that another editor be perfect or not be made an administrator--others should be granted the courtesy of being able to review your own records for imperfections, the criterion you set for administrators. When this is not an option, maybe you ought not to be so smug about demanding in others what cannot be verified about you. KP Botany 16:37, 7 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Y!
Thank you very much for the barnstar; that was really lovely of you. :) In truth, although I did do a ton of work on Styracosaurus, I only co-write the articles, as there are several other editors who also write dinosaur articles.
I'm glad to hear that there are little girls obsessed with dinosaurs, and fathers who encourage their daughters to like dinosaurs. Actually, we were writing these articles for a more mature audience (high school or above), but I'm glad someone her age can enjoy them, too. Truth to tell, horned dinosaurs are my favorites, too; I was obsessed with dinosaurs starting at the age of five. If your daughter likes Styracosaurus, she probably likes Triceratops, too. Eventually, I hope to get around to developing Protoceratops further, and if you have any ideas or suggestions for improvements on Wikipedia dinosaur articles, please feel free to make them. Again, thank you for your kind gesture. Best wishes and happy editing, Firsfron of Ronchester 04:07, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi. I don't know how often you check your commons account, so I hope you don't mind if I post this here. When nominating the above image for deletion, you noted that images created by the City of Largo are copyrighted to the State of Florida. The reasoning at commons:template:PD-FLGov implies that all Florida government works are released into the public domain. So, for clarification, could you please explain (or just reference) why Largo images are copyrighted by the state? Thanks in advance, ˉˉ anetode ╦╩ 17:25, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
You reverted this page set for speedy deletion thereby continuing its existence. The page has nothing linked to it. Is it because there is a possibility someone may create such a link in the future? Currently, it is the first page to show up on a wiki search for Eragon (the book) thereby confusing users of such a search. Meanwhile, as already stated, it has nothing linked to it (except, of course now this talk page!) - Steve3849 talk 19:43, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Hi Y,
I’m writing in reference to your deletion of Translations.com, Epic Global Solutions, ABREVE and Crimson Life Sciences. Although these are all affiliates of TransPerfect I believe they all have significant scope and international influence to be justified as individual entries. I was editing today to improve the NPOV and to introduce external links, citations and wikilinks so that the articles merit would be demonstrated. There are several other company technologies on the site and I also believe these to be relevant also. The speed at which business is growing globally means that these technologies, terminologies and large companies are of significant public interest and therefore relevant for Wikipedia. I ask that you restore the pages and allow me some time to improve the NPOV?
Thank you, Christie
Hi Why did you delete this page. Circulation control is a well known subject that has been researched since the 1960's.
If putting an external link to my thesis on the subject is a problem why not just delete the link to the thesis?

Please let me know if these secondary sources as External Links/Refrences would be good enough to restore the page and would meet the Notability (organizations and companies) guidelines.

ENTRY: Śrc. DEFINITION: To set, set up, erect, prescribe. Šhari'a, from Arabic Šarća, law, from Šaraca, to ordain, prescribe.
Sarah (שָׂרָה "Princess", Standard Hebrew Sara, Tiberian Hebrew Śārāh, Arabic Šarća, law: سارة) is the wife of Abraham as described in the Hebrew Bible. Sarah's story is told in the Book of Genesis. Sarah was originally called Ŝarai (שָׂרַי / שָׂרָי "My princess", Standard Hebrew Saray, Tiberian Hebrew Śāray / Śārāy) and lived with her husband, then called Abram (אברם) in the city of Haran. When God told Abram to leave his homela ...
Why delete the following? It should be evident that Ŝarah and Ŝaria share the same semitic root. Is there something in this statement that you dispute? If so why not mention it on the talk page first?
Šarai. In this way the Egyptian handmaiden to Šarai law is Hagar as m [ hotep] a phrase meaning in law (the doing of what is right and proper) is peace. The story sets the legal precedents for the ten commandments and establishes the relationships, father, husband, wife, sister, handmaiden in terms of an inheritance from the semitic [ Šarai] law and the afroasiatic Egyptian law of [ Ma3t]. The descendants of this union are represented by Israel and its reverence for the written law of the ten commandments and Ishmael with the vision of Hagar and the law of the Koran.

Done. Scary, innit? Wl219 22:20, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
I took a careful look at Google, and I am not sure if AfD would delete it--what it has mostly going against it is the fraternity-boy sounding name.. Not as if it were one college's, there's extensive coverage in every university in canada. People usually blame me for saying other people's speedy tags aren't justified--I think you caught me putting on one that perhaps I shouldn't have. But someone else probably will send it- The way to improve it, is three or four references from whatever canadian student papers have WP pages to show they are notable--as refs, not links--& and also one or two specific CFF sites as refs for the money received. It's subtler to do them as refs than links. I'm also sending this to businformant, who wrote it. DGG ( talk) 22:34, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

He wrote that information, I continually update it to be current, and per his request, I attempted to post it on your site. I do not understand why his approved and written bio (which is all fact based and issued with his permission) was blocked as copyrighted material. Please reinstate the page.

It never ceases to amaze me how many of Carroll's characters seem to come to life in politics. I'll never forget reading about the Kansas School Board's edict on teaching evolution:
"In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena." - Associated Press

Could you unprotect Allegations of apartheid? In the past ten days since protection the discussion on the talk page has died down and there have been dramatic changes in several related articles (the deletion of Allegations of American apartheid, Allegations of Chinese apartheid, the moving of "Allegations of tourist apartheid in Cuba" to Tourist segregation in Cuba etc.) As well, one editor has posted on the Talk:Allegations of apartheid that he wishes to put this article up for AFD.

If it was not intended to be permanent, I'll ask another admin to help me out. Thanks a lot, JHMM13 (Disc) 19:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
...or semi-protect, but this protection has been on for 2 weeks now, an record breaking amount of time for full protection of a page not under vandal protection. Be advised also that the page is currently subjected to an ArbCom proceeding. Thanks!-- Cerejota 06:06, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
Allegations of French apartheid has been in full protection for almost two weeks, a record amount of time. Please semi-protect or remove protection altogether as per above. Thanks!

Y do you ask? Having books listed on Amazon is not a claim to notability at all; anyone can do it. If you have third party sources which document this subject in an encyclopedic fashion, please add them as the page has been restored in hopes that this can be expanded to demonstrate notability.

Hi Y. I noticed you removed diacritics from title Thích Quảng Đức. Your reason was "other vietnamese article names do not have diacritics". I wouldn't discuss this was a good reason or not but I have to say that I disagree with you about this. There are many other articles' names with diacritics, like Xuân Diệu, Nguyễn Nhật Ánh, Mỹ Tho, Nguyễn Thuyên. So it goes. In fact, Vietnamese names with diacritics or not is an issue that has been discussed for some times but still no consensus reaches. You can see the discussions here and here. In Thich Quang Duc, a requested move was proposed and almost all of editors opposed moving. Thus I suggest you shouldn't move any more such pages until consensus is made. @pple 08:54, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
Speedy deletion was given reason G11 (exists only to promote a company or service). The article had previously been tagged as Advert and work had been done to clean it up. If this was insufficient, returning the Advert tag would definitely have had more work done to improve the article.
Initial deletion call was given reason A7 (non notability). The article discussed an association put together by Walt_Disney_Internet_Group, Webtrends, Omniture, Yahoo!, and a few other companies that now lists dozens of longstanding web analytics companies as members, however the membership and influence on the web analytics industry wasn't described in the article, as far as I remember. Again, tagging and requesting correction would have been better than deletion - and even better than speedy deletion. Mr. Bene 11:41, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Since I haven't edited Wikipedia in quite some time, this may very well be taken as "vandalism", but I can think of no better reason to edit a bit than to poke some fun, prod at the wounds, and heckle you.

While i Strongly condemn the accusation from user Izzak that u r aiding user Eidah in his POV, i must remind u that Izzak did not mean to hurt u or to just make a discussion about your capacity and justice as a system operator, i think the pain towards u is that u know him and u do nothing to tame his POV. i don't think its your job or duty to silence users and that's why i think Izak cannot blame anybody but himself for being lazy to deal with eidahs edits, i am struggling with eida for over a week in the Zionist articles not one word from izzak to hep me, and the gentile sysops have even thought that i am a Vandal because of this, we are all in this together with the same duty to deal with Eidah he has broken no rules of sockpupetry and we must deal with his POV, which he does very open and therefore appreciated so we can fix it. Keep up the good work and i am happy we have here a Jewish sysop with knowledge in this issues to deal with it. thank u very much for your service to us.-- יודל 15:43, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
What I meant was, I remember the discussion that took place on ANI after he said something about Jews for Jesus being chayav misa. There were a few opinions expressed and eventually someone blocked him based on that. That wasn't a particularly strong expression of banning, and when he reappeared, nobody touched him until he started pissing people off again. So, he's being blocked for reappearing after being repeatedly indefblocked. But it's not like he's actually abusing sockpuppets to influence consensus or whatever - he's using one account at a time. Doesn't there come a time when he's had enough of a punishment for that remark? Nothing else he's doing merits an indefinite block - in fact many users seem to have some appreciation for what he does. I mean, I know him - he'll reappear... and then? Sockpuppety case #9? What's the point - just work with the guy! -- Y not? 03:40, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Can you unlock the page for creation? I think this page deserves another chance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Eddroid ( talk • contribs) 20:51, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
I have created a new page on Helen Hartness Flanders. Since this is my first effort, perhaps you could offer suggestions on style and substance. HopsonRoad 23:05, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your assistance. As to the "hook." I believe that my statement about "helping save traditional ballads from oblivion" is factual, since that was her accomplishment in recording and transcribing them. Perhaps you'd be more comfortable with:
...that American folklorist Helen Hartness Flanders recorded, transcribed and catalogued traditional ballads from New England at a time when people were ceasing to sing them.
My co-author and I have access to more appropriate images, which have been in the family and published elsewhere. However, uploading such images doesn't seem to conform to copyright categories endorsed by Wikipedia. Any advice? My search of images failed to locate a Wikipedia image of Helen Flanders, yet you were able to provide one. Are there others available?
HopsonRoad 00:54, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I have added subsections and an info box. Perhaps an upgrade from stub is warranted? HopsonRoad 20:45, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I guess I would be interested. Do you think I have the necessary credentials? Number 5 7 10:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
I don't understand why you have deleted this entry as spam. The article is well-sourced to items from newspapers and other on-line searchable sources. The article meets the same standard as that for the American "Mark Warner" and for Bob Rae, El Farouk Khaki, and Chuck Daly. If there are additional items that require sources, please indicate so. Where requested, additional sources have been added already in response to comments from one user Reginald Perrin, who appears to be the only user to call into question this entry's compliance with Wiki standards. In light of the circumstances, deletion as spam seems particularly unjustified. The entry concerns a Canadian politician in an upcoming by-election. Entries about his competitors are on the site. It would seem odd to delete an entry for Mr. Warner, not his competitors while there is no evident difference in the sourcing used in the Warner entry vis a vis the entries for his competitors. Please restore the entry forthwith. -- Canam1 10:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
I would also add that there are also no citations to the Personal section for Bill Graham, the outgoing politician who Mr. Warner is seeking to replace. By contrast, at the time the article was deleted, there were over twenty references to the Mark Warner article. The Bob Rae references to his personal life are arguably to his own autobiography. How is that more legitimate than the third-party reference used in the Mark Warner article. Please note also that in the discussion of the Bob Rae article, a link is provided to changes made by his wife, no less.... And similarly, on his Facebook site, El Farouk Khaki publicly thanks one of his volunteers for creating and editing his site. Why, in light of this, is the Mark Warner article being singled out for deletion? -- Canam1 17:14, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
With the greatest of respect, as regards the alleged violation of WP:AUTO & WP:SPAM, where is the substantiation for that? And furthermore, even if it were true, how could that be correct in light of the comments above?
With respect to WP:N, how can the candidate for the governing party be the sole candidate not to be notable enough to be referred to among all the opposition candidates listed along with him in the Toronto Centre article? This does not seem to be particularly neutral, especially in light of the fact that the deleted article referenced impartial third-party materials - including newspaper articles - referring to the facts contained in the article.
In light of the above, will you please undelete the article or return the underlying code so that a new article that complies more with the standard (as opposed to the standard in the Bob Rae, El Farouk Khaki and Bill Graham articles not to mention the American Mark Warner and the Steve Gilchrist articles) can be created. -- Canam1 19:49, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, DLand TALK 04:30, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
You made a controversial edit to Fred Thompson, which I believe was an abuse of your admin privilege. Navou had protected the page, and obviously had protected the wrong version, as we should all be well aware happens when we protect pages during content disputes. We, as admins, should not go in, while the matter is still under dispute, and change to our personally preferred version. We are welcome to act as any other user and contribute to the discussion on the talk page. Just thought I'd drop you a note with my disapproval because you seem to be open to accountability.

I understand being hesitant about listing play by plays on a player's page but it was in response to one of the entries regarding the "Joba Rules".
In the Joba Rules section, there was a snippet about Joba never being allowed to be brought in in the middle of an inning. Last night's "play by play" entry was a direct contradiction of the above mentioned Joba Rules and deserves to be noted. It's the first mid-inning relief appearance for Joba which for any other relief pitcher would be a trivial fact, but the fact that it goes against established rules makes it relevant. It's not so much a play by play, but rather a first for the pitcher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jngnyc ( talk • contribs) 13:26, 20 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Y. Regarding your block of Swdetd, I'd like to unblock him. He does have a conflict of interest because he works for the firm. I think the proper course of action is to supply the boilerplate conflict of interest notice and ask him to refrain from editing the article about his firm. I know you speedied it, but if you'll note in the forth deleted edit, another admin had declined to do so. I would have, as well, based on what was on the talk page. The other spam concern is linking to the law firm article from cases that firm lawyers have participated in. I agree that's valid (though he also linked to the opposing counsel's organization [12]), but again think the proper course is to direct the editor to our guidelines on links and ask he abide by them or come to an agreement with neutral outsiders about whether links to firms belong. If spam/coi edits continue, I will reblock myself. How's that sound?-- Chaser - T 02:36, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I started slowly with uncontroversial stuff like orphaned talk pages, but then I realised there is just so much cr*p being added that I may as well start tackling it. Almost none of it has reapppeared (though a couple have had to go to AfD due to the persistence of their creators (i.e. Studley Darts League) and one was salted as a result) so I take that as a good sign. My talk page is certainly more active than it has been before :) пﮟოьεԻ 5 7 08:11, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

This shouldn't affect you directly since you can't come till later anyway, but if you have any topics or proposals, I'll be glad to present them at the formal meeting on your behalf.

I have found some recent commentary on her work which would might lift her in to the notability category, but I can't even see if it was in the article when it is deleted. Also, please leave a note on my talk page so I can have a notice when it is ready. Many thanks.

When I accessed the Jerry Falwell page there were a few citations that were apparently replaced with the red text: "Cite error: Invalid *ref> tag; name cannot be a simple integer, use a descriptive title". When I refreshed the page the errors remained, so I of course decided to try to fix it. I edited the first citation with the error and checked to see if it fixed the problem and all the errors were gone, so I left it. You reverted my edit...and somehow the errors are still gone. I'm wondering if you know what the problem was. Please respond on my talk page when you get this, even if it's just to direct me to your response here. Thank you. 65.93.161.249 ( talk) 04:09, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello fellow Wikipedia administrators open to recall category member! |
---|
I am leaving you this message because recent events have given me concern. When Aaron Brenneman and I, and others, first developed this category well over a year ago, we visualized it as a simple idea. A low hassle, low bureaucracy process. We also visualized it as a process that people would come to trust, in fact as a way of increasing trust in those admins who chose to subscribe to the notion of recall. The very informal approach to who is qualified to recall, what happens during it, and the process in general were all part of that approach. But recent events have suggested that this low structure approach may not be entirely effective. More than one of the recent recalls we have seen have been marred by controversy around what was going to happen, and when. Worse, they were marred by some folk having the perception, rightly or wrongly, that the admin being recalled was trying to change the rules, avoid the process, or in other ways somehow go back on their word. This is bad. It's bad for you the admin, bad for the trust in the process, and bad for the community as a whole. I think a way to address this issue is to increase the predictability of the process in advance. I have tried to do that for myself. In my User:Lar/Accountability page, I have given pretty concrete definitions of the criteria for recall, and of the choices I can make, and of the process for the petition, and of the process for other choices I might make (the modified RfC or the RfAr). I think it would be very helpful if other admins who have voluntarily made themselves subject to recall went to similar detail. It is not necessary to adopt the exact same conditions, steps, criteria, etc. It's just helpful to have SOME. Those are mine, fashion yours as you see fit, I would not be so presumptuous as to say mine are right for you. In fact I urge you not to just adopt mine, as I do change them from time to time without notice, but instead develop your own. You are very welcome to start with mine if you so wish, though. But do something. If you have not already, I urge you to make your process more concrete, now, while there is no pressure and you can think clearly about what you want. Do it now rather than later, during a recall when folk may not react well to perceived changes in process or commitment. Further, I suggest that after you document your process, that you give a reference to it for the benefit of other admins who may want to see what others have done. List it in this table as a resource for the benefit of all. If you use someone else's by reference rather than copy, I suggest you might want to do as Cacharoth did, and give a link to a specific version. Do you have to do these things? Not at all. These are suggestions from me, and me alone, and are entirely up to you to embrace or ignore. I just think that doing this now, thinking now, documenting now, will save you trouble later, if you should for whatever reason happen to be recalled. I apologise if this message seems impersonal, but with over 130 members in the category, leaving a personal message for each of you might not have been feasible, and I feel this is important enough to violate social norms a bit. I hope that's OK. Thanks for your time and consideration, and best wishes. Larry Pieniazek NOTE: You are receiving this message because you are listed in the Wikipedia administrators open to recall category. This is a voluntary category, and you should not be in it if you do not want to be. If you did not list yourself, you may want to review the change records to determine who added you, and ask them why they added you. |
...My guinea pigs and the "A"s through "S"s having felt this message was OK to go forward with (or at least not complained bitterly to me about it :) ), today it's the turn of the "T"s through "Z"s (and beyond, apparently)! I'm hoping that more of you chaps/chapettes will point to their own criteria instead of mine :)... it's flattering but a bit scary! :) Also, you may want to check back to the table periodically, someone later than you in the alphabet may have come up with a nifty new idea. (I saw yours up there already but hey, don't want you to feel left out since I left this message for everyone else! :) ) ++ Lar: t/ c 21:02, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Arbeit_Sockenpuppe claims to be an alternate account of you. If true, ok. What is the purpose of the sock?
If this is not true, he/she may be ruining your reputation by claiming to be you. Archtransit ( talk) 21:29, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
Please explain the purpose and why it is legitimate. I am concerned that it is not being used in an appropriate fashion. Inappropriate uses are subject to blocking. It is customary that blocks are done to socks without discussion. In this regard, you are being afforded much more consideration that is given to others. Some may consider this extra consideration as unfair and favortism. If you have a legitimate use of a sock, let me know. Archtransit ( talk) 22:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)
I am further concerned that Arbeit Sockenpuppe made a response and signed it with your name (Y). If Arbeit Sockenpuppe was honest, he would sign his own name and explain. Archtransit ( talk) 22:44, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Can a cool admin help a guy out? I want to add one sentence to the world of Wikipedia. But I can't. The sentence is factual, provable, reliable (I chose the New York Times version.)
Circumcision may decrease a man's risk of getting HIV but it may also INCREASE a man's risk of getting herpes and chlamydia. (and some doctors even say other STD's too but I won't get into that and I wouldn't put caps on INCREASE.)
The article on circumcision mentions the term HIV probably 100 times (I'm not joking) and mentions "herpes" or "chlamydia" not Once. Click on the article. You tell me if it's an article on the procedure called circumcision or a pro-circumcision propaganda pamphlet.
Can a cool admin stop two guys named Avraham and Jakew (the site's dictators) from deleting my one sentence I want to add? Or possibly get new Admins to take over this article, which has fallen way below Wikipedia standards.
here's the New York Times piece... http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?sec=health&res=9C07E4D91F3AF931A35757C0A961958260&fta=y
I used to love Wikipedia until I went to add a sentence, you know? Well, thanks. 70.114.38.167 ( talk) 06:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

I noticed the article on the Bill of Rights has an {{ unreferencedsection}} template in it; possibly, the paragraph immediately following this template may need additional inline citations.
It may turn out that such citations are not necessary; on the other hand, detailed citations assist in guarding against copyright violations, so I think that discussion should be part of a formal featured article review, for which I have nominated the article.
Please post your views on this matter to Wikipedia:Featured article review/United States Bill of Rights. 69.140.152.55 ( talk) 22:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikis Take Manhattan
|
WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.
LAST YEAR'S EVENT
WINNINGS? Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!
WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.
WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!
REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.
WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

Calliopejen1 ( talk) 15:56, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Image:Safronov.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted images or text borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of
the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on [[ Talk:Image:Safronov.jpg|the talk page]] explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I was preparing to put my hand up and say "oops" on the WP:3RR, but I count two actual reverts on my part, plus two edits which I guess might be thought partial reversions but I didn't consider them so at the time; it was part of the ongoing editing/discussion. Incidentally, I do not think the first line of your comment is appropriate for an admin, especially when discussing admin behaviour, even if it is a joke. It suggests WP:COI issues if you feel that strongly negative about the article subject, and whilst that may or may not be the case, it is clearly better to avoid giving that impression.

Curious as to why my article was deleted. I am not a member of RCI, nor have I attended the organization's functions. I revised the second issue to make it even more objective than the first article. I based my article's format on the format and information from the FCCLA wikipedia page. Could you please help me by telling me what is making the article sound like an advertisement? I am really wanting to get up my first Wikipedia article. Thanks. Ljw33 ( talk) 18:49, 2 September 2009 (UTC)

Aren't the banners supposed to remain on the page until the issues have been resolved?

Hi Y.
I'm contacting you as you are on the discussion page of business TransPerfect. I am not happy about them using thebigword's website as a reference to where they sit in the ranks (ref 3). This info is availbale from other places. I think it's inappropriate because if you search in Wiki for thebigword, TransPerfect's page comes up. This is especially frustrating when thebigword had an entry on Wiki for years that was taken off and have been told they are not allowed a listing because it was considered promotional. If this is considered sourced details about a notable company, the surely thebigword can be included too?
Thanks for your help and comments on this.

You recently deleted the page Wall St. Cheat Sheet. The description of this financial media site was taken from the About page. I am not sure I understand how it's any more of an advertisement than all the other financial media sites which have Wikipedia pages.

This is the same agency that manages Derren Brown, an internationally renowned artist. Vikki has been nominated for recognised comedy awards which I correctly linked to.

I noticed you moved my comment about Ted Stevens’s crash occurring on the 9th to a comment. Since the crash occurred on that date, and until it is reported that he died instantly or within 4 hours, should his citation be moved to the 10th with the visible tag of "Death announced on this date"? There is no announcement at this time whether he died on the 9th or the 10th, and this change would be to comply with Wiki guidelines. Gezellig ( talk) 22:22, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Greetings! At Wikipedia:WikiProject United States courts and judges, we have bot-created thousands of articles on United States federal judges. Of those 1,272 currently still have their bot-made cleanup tag. If just a dozen editors will each commit to cleaning up just two of those articles every week, we will conquer the entire list within the year. Most of the articles are quick and easy to clean up, requiring only a few minor adjustments of bot-created awkward wording. Please consider joining this effort, and committing to cleaning up two judges per week for the year. Cheers! bd2412 T 03:19, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Dear Y, I can' understand why you deleted the page I initiated. I hanged-on its speedy deletion and commented on its talk page about that as per the guidelines, and had started refining its content with references to support my claim that Pro-ject is a notable phonograph manufacturer, complying with the criteria from [25]. I provided a link to the associated page on [www.vinylengine.com] which is an independent and very relevant source of information regarding audio HiFi equipment. I was compiling together further information, but you acted on the speedy deletion too fast for me to complete that (it was night time for me :-/) Would it be possible for an admin with relevant knowledge of this field (stereophile / audiophile) to comment? Last, I could understand if your rationale for deletion was a bad formatting of mine (I am a newbie with editing/creating...I try to do my best with tutorial and guidelines reading though), but this wouldn't qualify then for speedy deletion, would it? -- MarmotteNZ ( talk) 23:37, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Please notice that, actually, I already contacted that administrator explaining why I want to make a new page about L. Iorio. He did not say "no". Simply, he asked me if I had something to do with a past sockpuppetry issue, which is not the case. Please, notice also that the situation is, now, substantially changed from a scientific point of view, as you may notice by reading all the documentation. In particular, one of the arguments against the page for L. Iorio was based on his h-index at that times. Now, as you may see, it notably increased and is now larger than, or of the same order of magnitude of, that of other scientists active in the same field having a page here.

I am writing to you in regard to the recent deletion of the EASL (European Association for the Study of the Liver) article I created ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EASL).
The European Association for the Study of the Liver (EASL) is a charitable and not for profit organisation that aims to encourage the education and awareness of liver disease, which affects a growing number of people around the world.
It has certainly never been my intention to promote or advertise EASL; I felt I had followed the guidelines accordingly and looked to other similar organisations for guidance. I simply wanted to create an encyclopaedic article that people can use for reference. As EASL is Europe’s leading professional liver disease association, and the International Liver Congress is the world’s largest meeting of liver professionals, I felt EASL met the notability criteria.
I have been through and made extensive changes to the original article content, which I’ve saved at User:FabioMarra/EASL. Before recreating the EASL article, I am contacting you at this stage as per the re-submission message.
I would be very grateful for your thoughts and guidance on how to improve and amend the article to ensure it meets the guidelines. I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards, FabioMarra ( talk) 22:22, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi Y,
I changed the prod template on Pastel Accounting to an advertising tone warning template. The refs clearly indicate the notability of the subject, and if the tone isn't quite right, that can be fixed. I've started a discussion on the topic at the article's talk page.
Thanks! -- Slashme ( talk) 20:31, 9 March 2011 (UTC)

In my opinion, your closure of the Itamar maasacre article at AFD as a snow keep was rash. All arguments related to "It's Newsworthty," "I Like It," "Other Stuff Exists," or "Memorial." There's actually a doctrine-based argument to be made as "Not News"... Carrite ( talk) 22:18, 13 March 2011 (UTC)

Below is the content for the Crews Control article which was deleted again today. What about it is "promotional" and worthy of deletion? Please give feedback-- thank you.
The deleted article was written by CrewsControlCam and it was deleted. I responded to that article with "hang on" while I researched the company. On March 25, a new article-- a completely rewritten article written in NPOV and in accordance to wiki guidelines was reposted. You didn't nominate it for deletion you just deleted it. Research Crews Control-- they legitimately are a woman-owned and first established international production staffing agency.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Gary Martin (footballer) is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gary Martin (footballer) until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on good quality evidence, and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Giant Snowman 16:30, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove information from articles, as you did to 2011 Norway attacks. Wikipedia is not censored, and content is not removed on the sole grounds of perceived offensiveness. Please discuss this issue on the article's talk page to reach consensus rather than continuing to remove the disputed material. If the content in question involves images, you also have the option to configure Wikipedia to hide the images that you may find offensive. Thank you. Lihaas ( talk) 22:13, 22 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi Y, I had previously created an account called "elyvicbad" and submitted an article relating to an old badminton club (Ely Victoria) based in Cambridgeshire, UK. Upon checking I have found that my account has been blocked and I now have no access to the content of my submission. Subsequently I have created this new account in order to get some help. Not realising my account would be blocked I hadn't back-up my submission and I no long have the historic details. Please can you look into your archives and send me the details of my submission. They are now needed for an external website.

Hi there. This is not criticism, but more a question of curiousity: When you do a technical move, like deleting Martin Jensen page and moving Martin Jensen (disambiguation), isn't it common to do the same thing to the talk page? Sincerely, Mentoz86 ( talk) 08:04, 28 November 2011 (UTC)
To whom it may concern,
I write to you demanding an answer as to why the article titled: "Basil W. Spalding" has been deleted. It has come to my attention that such articles are seldom deleted and I am trying to understand what in the world caused you to delete that article. Unless you don't know what your deleting, I will remind you that that article had only a few words. Words, not sentences, not paragraphs, words. And don't even think about using some lame excuse and expect me to believe it. Don't tell me the article is irrelevant and has nothing to do with the conditions Wikipedia has set for writing articles. I am very well familiar with Wikipedia's conditions and rules. How could it be deleted if nothing was even there? On what basis did you make your decision.Wikipedia is laden with some of the most ridiculous and boring articles, something like a Spanish boy growing up in slum in Brazil inventing some kind of cheap invention that is supposed to be helpful to humanity and save mankind. You made a great mistake deleting such an article. It could have been something great.
I'll be waiting for your reply. I hope you won't be as shy answering me than you are with putting a picture of yourself in your profile. Maybe I can refresh your memory here: "I am too shy to post a solo portrait of myself here..."

You deleted an article which was still under construction and incomplete. You cited the reason as being "unambiguous advertising". I would refer you to the page Andre Ptaszynski who is in the same profession and I would like to know how this differs from the page I prepared on Lee Dean. Another example the page Tracie Bennett is similar in style and perhaps you could explain why these two pages are permissible and the page I was preparing was not. The page was biographical and contains information that is of interest to people either in or interested in the theatrical profession. Lee Dean does not need to advertise, he creates his own work. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you Mattie88 ( talk) 17:00, 1 December 2011 (UTC)
For naming conventions of articles, see WP:Naming conventions (people)#Middle names and abbreviated names. This man was listed in all civil lists and other contemporary documents as "Isaac L.

Dear Y,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, where it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Hi there Y. There is quite a lot of divergent interpretation of your close of this template's TfD on the talk page, in particular at Template talk:Cleanup#Transclusons that don't have the reason specified. In that section, User:Aircorn has asked whether there was consensus to make the reason mandatory at the TfD itself, and has expressed the opinion that consensus is pretty clear. However, User:Curb Chain has rebutted this suggestion.
As the TfD closer I was wondering if you would be willing to clarify whether there was consensus to make the reason manditory? If you feel there wasn't consensus, then we'll respect that and go through another large community discussion to confirm what the community wants to do. But if you feel there was, saying so now would make it significantly easier to make the bold changes that your closure called for. Regards, — WFC— 08:47, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
But I find your response to be needlessly bureaucratic. What you are effectively saying is "I only considered keep or delete because of the venue; I do not care whether there was consensus for something else or not". TfD no longer stands for "Templates for deletion", precisely because the result of TfD discussions is regularly to do something other than keep or delete. — WFC— 17:43, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
Hello Y,
I am trying to add to the page Alta Mira (band). The reason given for the deletion was that there was not enough content. I had saved before I was finished adding to the page. I assure you, I am adding to this slowly. Alta Mira are a relevant band who have been making buzz in the Albany music scene for over seven years, have been signed to Indian Ledge Records (and have thereafter broken ties with the label) and have gained praise from many Northeast publications, including Metroland, Times Union, The Schenectady Gazette and online publications such as RadioExile and InYourSpeakers. It would be unfair to continue this deletion.
Thanks for your patience. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eoj333 ( talk • contribs) 23:54, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Gotcha, and thank you for your prompt response. I am new to Wikipedia, so maybe you will be able to help me. So to qualify, I'd have to ensure that I keep it subjective and, at the very least, meet the following:
"1. Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1]
This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] except for the following:
Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.[note 3]
Works comprising merely trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories.
Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar) would generally be considered trivial but should be evaluated on a case-by-case basis."
The sources I was going to cite are as follows:
And I understand that the other sources cited mostly fall under the Exceptions, but this one is also a song review:
I know that there are many wiki sites that don't even list sources...are these sources I've mentioned insufficient as they are, or will I have to find more? I'm not going to throw anyone under the bus, but I can think of a couple of wiki pages that have one or less sources of this sort and are allowed to exist, but are marked as a "stub" instead of a deletion. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Eoj333 ( talk) 06:40, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Hello Y; I am writing to you about the deletion of the professional, notable violinist Matthew Hurlberts profile.. I noticed the reason that you deleted the article was because Wikipedia said he was not important in regards to the area (musicians and/or violin I am assuming!). Matthew Hurlbert is a pioneer in techno and pop violin music, and I believe it was very wrong to delete the biography. I, myself play the violin as do many of my colleagues and Matthew Hurlbert is extremely proficient and talented individual. The section about him attempting to be the fastest violinist in will take place sometime in April. Guinness World Records will be the official judge. Hurlberts debut album, "Let's Get This Thing Started" is an absolutely fabulous album and is enjoyed by countless people. This page was not meant to advertise or promote anyone, only to let the public know about the details this violin master. Hurlbert absolutely does belong in the importance category of the area. Thank you for your time reading my request, please consider restoring this informational article, as it is not even very long, it doesnt take up much room at all.

I have no problems with Wikipedia policy against conflicts of interest, because I am not a member of the Jakavicius family. Also I have another articles related with Lithuania and I want to collaborate with Wikipedia as you. I am posting lot of information from Jakavicius family, because I found it very interesting and they did a lot of things for my country. My partner and me, the booth of us, work as teachers, he is historian and teach History and I studied Lithuanian literature and I teach literature, so we are investigating the work and life of Liudvikas Jakavicius and all his family, because they are from my town. As you can see, in all my articles I put references and all the information is real. So I think that is a good material for Wikipedia.

Hi Y, I've reviewed your nomination at Template:Did you know nominations/Atwood-Blauvelt mansion and there are a couple issues. Could you reply at the nomination page? Crisco 1492 ( talk) 01:27, 9 May 2012 (UTC)
Why am I being warned against trying to place a BIOGRAPHICAL entry of our organizations President and CEO? It is simply a biography, not a promotion. He is a national leader in healthcare and sits on multiple boards and chairs organizations across the country. We are simply trying to make his bio and personal history more publically available.
The material the bots keeps trying to find claiming it is copyrighted, IS MY COPYRIGHT. I own it as I am the original creator of said bio. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanekovac ( talk • contribs) 18:06, 9 May 2012 (UTC)

Greetings. Y you decline my CSDs? (pun intended) Seriously, all three articles ( 1998–99 Olympiacos F.C. season, 1999–2000 Olympiacos F.C. season and Panathinaikos F.C. season 2002-03) were created and substantially edited only by a sock of blocked user Antony1821 ( talk · contribs). The Olympiacos articles are entirely unreferenced and the Panathinaikos article has a reference about the wrong season which gives an 404 error. I fail to see how these articles don't qualify for CSD G5. Cheers. – Kosm 1 fent 04:44, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
On 11 May 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Atwood-Blauvelt mansion, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the Atwood-Blauvelt mansion in Oradell, New Jersey, was built for Kimball Atwood, whose Florida grapefruit plantation was the birthplace of the pink grapefruit?

Hi, I was going to start a page called Franciscus Henri discography but found a note requesting that any user contemplating such to contact you. I see that over 20 articles have been created for Henri's albums/songs. One of these has been PRODed and could soon be deleted. Many of the other articles have very little content including little or no claim(s) to notability. A discography would maintain the content of these articles and is warranted as the artist is prolific (over ten albums), albeit some albums/songs may not be individually notable enough for a separate wikipedia article. An expanded discography section in the parent article, Franciscus Henri, would unnecessarily add to its length hence the need for a stand alone discography article. shaidar cuebiyar ( talk) 01:21, 15 May 2012 (UTC)

La Sera is a pretty notable band; why has their page been deleted? I, a completely unrelated party, wanted to read up on them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 170.171.1.5 ( talk) 15:36, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
Note: This is a rant, full of sound and fury, probably not signifying much. But it would be nice if you read it anyway.
The first thing I saw at The Heritage Academy, Kolkata page is a page for a private, not public, school, which probably looked more like an advertisement before I cleaned it up. I didn't see any references on that page, couldn't find anything with a quick Google search, so I got to thinking that maybe this is a diploma mill, or at least a very non-notable school. I didn't consider anything on that page - at any time - to be a credible claim to notability. I know there are lots of school pages, but I could find nothing in CSD exempting a school from the general CSD criteria and the organizational CSD criteria.
Therefore, I consider the Heritage Academy page to both be an advertisement for a private organization seeking money and to be a page for an organization lacking a credible claim to notability.
Why do you think it does not quality for speedy deletion?

G4 only applies if a page is a "sufficiently identical and unimproved copy... of a page deleted via its most recent deletion discussion". From what I recall, at the time of the AfD, the page lacked specific references to reliable independent sources. The page you speedily deleted had been improved with additional references, as I stated on the talk page. The AfD stated that "all are free to recreate the article with sufficient sources" once better sources were unearthed. Did you compare the referenced sources of the deleted page at the time of the AfD with the current one? Thanar ( talk) 21:21, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Hello. From what can be seen currently, the closure of this Afd that you undertook did not reflect the consensus with which it produced, which was that the content in the article carries no relevance or notability for an encyclopaedia. Also, having FL status or being a FL/FA candidate is not precedent of an article being worthy of inclusion. See this for an example, in which the article was deleted just a week later.

Actually, up until your closure of this AfD, I had no idea what an administrator ought to do when the majority of participants support deletion with rationales that have no real basis in policy. I endorsed your decision at the DRV, as it seemed a sensible course of action; I take it a no consensus closure is standard procedure for such instances, then? If so, would it be all right if I cited that AfD when referencing such instances?

Hi; even though this is a minor move, I'd appreciate it if you would comment on the article's talk page regarding the move. (I realize it's just a typographical change, and one I do agree with personally, but my concern is that it bypassed move protection when the title has been very contentious. Even my proposal to just drop "2013" for now met opposition, despite everyone hating the current title. This might upset some other editors more than me.) A simple note about the rationale would be appreciated, since we've been stuck in lengthy move-related discussions since the article was created.

Hey just wanted to drop you a line and explain why I did what I did. The reason I changed it is to avoid confusion. We list US Senators and State Senators both on the board. When you just put "Senator" for New Jersey, it can be interpreted both ways. So with members of Congress, we put the distinction out there to avoid the confusion. We usually also call them members to help the people across the pond understand the levels of government like we would address their membership as Members of Parliament. As for the Cause of Death, we get as specific as the article states- in this case the article says "U.S. Sen. Frank Lautenberg (D-N.J.) died Monday morning due to complications from viral pneumonia." I guess we could split up the bacterial cases from the viral cases, but we list it as complications from pneumonia. Any questions just drop me a line over on the old talk page. Have a good wiki day.

To any with a record of improving content to serve the project and its readers, the term "inclusionist" is interesting. Perhaps better if used only to "label" those who, even if wishing topics kept, do not actively address issues they have pointed out as addressable. However, I would not be offended if you labeled me an "incredible IMPROVINIST" (Chuckle). On the other side of the coin (and this is not you, for you DO create content... making you perhaps label-able as a content "CREATIONIST"), would it be proper to label those who do not add or improve content or those who send articles to AFd, simply as "deletionists"? I suppose the use of such labels toward others is not really helpful, but thank you for sharing. Cheers. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q.03:00, 6 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm here because of the TTTech page that has been deleted by you. I saw it was discussed for deletion so I started editing and verifying a lot of the content. I corrected a lot of the things that were mentioned in the discussion for deletion, spending hours to add multiple sources. I would have been happy to discuss how to further improve the page - maybe a point or two could have been omitted and the language could have been improved too. But I don't understand how this could have been accused of being purely promotional when the page also included controversies and such.
I have looked up the page because I'm a student at the Technical University of Vienna and I took several lectures with professor Poledna and professor Kopetz who are both founding members of this company and acknowledged in their field. I found the page to be informative. In addition, I have just seen last week that TTTech has won an export price by the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber so it is indeed a well known corporation here. I know you're not supposed to compare but I can't help thinking TTTech has partnerships with Audi, Boeing, Airbus etc. and if I look up those company pages they are no different from this one so in that context the deletion seemed a bit quick to me. I have since continued working on the article - it is now in my sandbox. I hope we can talk about reconsidering this deletion, thank you already! Sathescha ( talk) 11:08, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Y. I'm writing with regard to your recent editorial deletion decision. First off, let me start out by saying I am not completely opposed to TNT, generally, and I agree the article needed to be pared down. But given that there was still an active discussion happening, with a new user participating one day before your decision -- I do not understand how you decided that "no one else was likely to join the morass". Perhaps I just don't understand the timeline for editorial decisions -- but, without knowing the protocol or rules about this specifically, this seemed abrupt. Also, there was still discussion happening about the reliability of WV and WW in the noticeboard. On that page there was a general consensus that the sources were reliable. I only mention this not to argue the merits of the case either way -- but to inquire if this in particular was part of your decision either way. Eulerianpath ( talk) 16:33, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
Y, [2] here is the noticeboard I was referring to -- WP:RS/N -- the noticeboard on reliable sources. In the discussion, Cerejota and I disagreed over whether the Workers Vanguard and Weekly Worker were reliable for establishing notability. He put it to the noticeboard -- and they agreed it was notable. ItsmeJudith also said that that the german paper was stronger for establishing notability. Others on the board commented in agreement. This was why I was saying that closing the discussion for delete was premature --because it had only recently been posted to the other noticeboard. This is how e.g. Cullen heard about it. Also -- you never mentioned RyanGrant. I only mention this because in the great length of the discussion, it seems their arguments were lost. It seems that there are many more established editors who thought the article was a keep than the ones you mentioned in your decision. I think a rewrite would be best -- but, based on the above new information, I respectfully request that you withdraw your close. 166.147.104.159 ( talk) 16:02, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
"This level of breathless coverage is inappropriate." – And why is that? It passes WP:GNG requirements and none of the deletion arguments is sufficient to overcome the presumption that an article is appropriate. I don't see any policy or guideline that makes a valid reason to delete, and you didn't identify one either. I note specifically that one delete !voter says "fails WP:GNG" and that is simply flat out false. Not a question of interpretation, but wrong on the facts. Another !delete voter says "original research", again wrong on the facts. Others claim that they aren't convinced that it's a notable subject, but Wikipedia is not about what individual editors are convinced of, it's what WP:RS reliable sources say, and the article was supported by reliable sources.

Hello,
I was wondering whether you could help me in neutralising the wikipedia article 'OSL Consulting', since you've deleted it because it was 'unambiguously promotional'? I have no idea how that article was different to a lot of other articles out there about organisations. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks.
In your closing statement to the recent AfD for Albert Laszlo Haines, you stated that "The result was keep in order to move to an article about the case. Only reason I am not moving it immediately is it's not obvious to me what it should be moved to. I'll try to remember to check back here in a week or two, and if it's not moved by then, I'll move it to something." [34] Nothing substantive appears to have been done, and it seems to me that there are serious problems with the article as it stands. Do you have any further thoughts? AndyTheGrump ( talk) 15:32, 4 August 2013 (UTC)
Could you please inform me why OSL Consulting was removed, just wondering? And if so how could the previous article be formatted/changed to fit in wikipedia standard. Thanks. Zabranos ( talk) 07:48, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi Y, I was about to create a page for the musician Zachary Cale. However, noticed that you deleted a page about this subject on 14 November 2012. I am unsure of the content that was on this past page, however I would like to create a new page for this artist, but wanted to make sure the content is accepted by wikipedia administrators.

Hi Y, I broke up the nominations into individual nominations as you suggested. The reason for each is lack evidence of notability in sources and searches. I hope sources can be found to establish notability for some, but people who get paid (and sock to do it) are typically getting paid to get articles on non-notable companies and persons as I have observed. After nominating a first batch about a month ago with all deleted, I thought it would be more helpful if I just listed them in batches on one page, but I see your point so it's not an approach I will take in the future.

Hi there,
I was hoping you could help me to make my wiki page live. It is a notable piece (to be expanded upon) but it was previously deleted no reasons given. I believe this is a valid article, though small as of now, I was hoping you could in some way help me publish this as I am unsure how to go about it.

Hi Y,
I'm a bit confused that you assume I'm associated with this company, this is not the case. I was just trying to create a wiki entry for a site I use and I believe IS notable. I looked over the archived debate link you posted and it seems even though it is a year old there was little cause for deletion then and now, a year later with an even stronger web presence, even less so.

I noticed this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipmunk page which is quite obviously less notable but hasn't been deleted or even flagged. It seems maybe things can be a little prejudiced in this environment. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanalanmorris ( talk • contribs) 22:04, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
No, I don't think I nailed it, and probably prejudiced was a strong/wrong choice of words. There is no need to be mockingly sarcastic, that doesn't seem very professional for someone in your position, I have seen this in some of your language and attitude with others. I was trying to make valid point in regards to the link I posted. Ryan — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanalanmorris ( talk • contribs) 09:22, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
It looks like I am going to have to try and communicate with another clerk, checkUser, admin or whatever role you position falls under here, as I am not getting any clear, intelligent answers, only what almost seem like school yard type power control issues. I was trying to make a wiki page for a service that my company uses regularly because my work mate said he could not make one awhile ago, so I simply asked for some advice. But I got shut down straight away and in an unpleasant manner. R — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ryanalanmorris ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 24 August 2013 (UTC)
Thank you for your go ahead, I had already started that process though, it's surprising how hard it is to complain in any form about the behavior of the people that work for Wikipedia.

On Manning I think Chelsea Manning should note her former name, since some people will be searching for her that way (and will not be able to find the link otherwise, not knowing her new name). I agree there shouldn't be two listings; it can just note the past name on the same line. – SJ + 03:12, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
I appreciate your efforts to keep Wiki submissions legitimate and accurate, and I intend to do so as well by submitting articles I know to contain verifiable content. I recently submitted an article for a friend of mine by the name of Brittany Lee who works as a professional model. I worked with her to confirm the content, and I did my best to follow the Wiki format. The article was flagged for deletion and when I sent a reply asking for details on what I needed to change, edit, or delete to comply, my article was deleted without reply. I take issue with this as I used other Wiki articles of models as a format. They are similar in content, yet mine was deleted without an option to modify. Please review again and give me some guidance as to what modifications I can make to allow the article to be posted.

Hello,
I just got the message that the page I was making for a very interesting recording artist was deleted. After reading through the possible reasons for a page's deletion, I am questionable as to why this page was deleted.
The page makes it clear that Mike Sabath is a notable person, making many contributions to not only the music business but as well to helping others. Not only is Mike Sabath a notable person, but the article also has many links to various pages.
So, I am asking if it is possible to undelete this article so I may continue working on it.
Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Musicreviewer98 ( talk • contribs) 21:22, 26 August 2013 (UTC)

Hi,
I see that the page I translated Solidarités_International was deleted for being unambiguous advertising and for being copyright material. What part is the copyright material? What part is the advertising? It does not seem to fit the profiles for those guidelines.
At any rate, it was a direct translation of the French page and if one should be deleted, so should the other.

Hello Y. I would like you to reconsider your deletion of Jar~with~a~Twist. I dispute that anything in the article constituted "unambiguous spam", which constitutes your deletion under CSD G11. Nowhere in the article were there statements such as "Jar~with~a~Twist is a stroke of genius", a snippet you cited in your closing rationale. Instead, that was a piece of press coverage, in which a source made the claim (IBTimes, no less). This was presented in the article as "X source claimed that ...". Additionally, you deleted the article (I imagine) because of the existence of the 'Press coverage' section. This constituted only about 1/4 of the article, and there was plenty of salvageable material in the article; G11 specifically requires a fundamental rewrite be required to be applicable. I imagine the fact the section contained solely positive reception was a motivating factor in your deletion; however, I could find no negative coverage. If there were an article on sliced bread, it would not qualify for G11 simply because people said only good things about it. Finally, the article was/is being prepped for DYK. I severely doubt if you asked the reviewer of the DYK if they thought that the article constituted unambiguous spam that they would have agreed. Thus it cannot possibly be "unambiguous". Please reconsider your deletion of the article; if you take issue with the coverage section, then let me know why you find it unacceptable. Thanks, Dea db eef 15:24, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello Y,
With regards to the deletion of the article on Yazan Halwani, pleases note that he is a person (as sources below indicate) and that the article conforms with the notability guidelines. The main newspapers and publications in Lebanon have independently written on him. Television stations have also interviewed him independently. He has also been the subject of many blog articles written by independent bloggers. You can find material on him in English, French and Arabic. All notability guidelines are met: significant coverage (multiple articles on Yazan Halwani specifically), reliability (very reliable and leading publications in Lebanon such as Daily Star, Annahar & L'Orient le Jour), sources (presented below and secondary), independent of the subject (written independently by the various authors) & presumed. Please find below the sources I refer to above (that allow you to see that he is a person and that he conforms with wikipedia's notability guidelines):

Y- Wikipedia needs to stop deleting Barstool Sports' page. As a media personality, its founder has been featured on 20/20, Inside Edition, ESPN, and dozens of other sources. It is a top 5000 site in the world, responsible for Jenna Marbles popularity, and its concert tours have exposed then up and coming artists like Avicii and Mac Miller. It's a cultural mainstay in Boston and within the University scene nationwide. I fail to understand why the article was deleted. While in its current form it was phenomenally crude, I'm sure with time it would have been rapidly brought to Wikipedia's standards. A quick check of facebook finds that it has more likes than deadspin. The Inquirer and Mirror newspaper on Nantucket has a page that isn't slated for deletion, and that only has 10,000 readers daily during peak tourist season. Barstool is the 903rd highest viewed site in the US according to Alexa and reaches 2m viewers each month. How is that not relevant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.48.58.4 ( talk) 12:51, 30 August 2013 (UTC)
Y - I second what the user above posted. Barstool Sports is highly notable throughout the Boston area. It has certainly grown significantly in its reach and the stories it breaks since 2009. I'd call to question whether your distaste for the Boston Red Sox likewise conflicts with any fair deletion discussion initiated by yourself. Wikipedia should have a page for Barstool Sports; to delete it on the grounds that it was deleted years ago is akin to deleting a page about The New York Times at its founding and deleting all attempts to recreate it even after it became the country's most widely read newspaper decades later. There's a real problem with that logic. I just a moment ago came to Wikipedia to look up information on it and was shocked to find no entry and that a recent attempt to create one was deleted. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.133.12.123 ( talk) 18:51, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

I believe your good faith CSD tag of this article was a bit hasty. The article was stubbed and speedy deletion did not allow for the stub to be developed per WP:POTENTIAL. Your comment that there was "no explanation of significance" was both premature and inaccurate. If you had taken the time to review the prior edits by myself and other editors you would have seen that this man was of historic significance within the greater Kansas City area. While the material that I myself removed was copyvio, it demonstrated a potential for notability which has an even higher threshhold than CSD:A7. Please restore the article and its related talkpage so that this potential can be built upon. Thank you. F6697 FORMERLY 66.97.209.215 TALK 05:04, 30 December 2013 (UTC)
Dear Y
I do not understand why you have deleted the Leicester Blue Sox page.
You said this is because we are an amateur baseball club.
Well if that is the case, why is there a page for the Nottingham Thieves baseball club, who are similar to us?
There are also similar pages for other local emerging non-professional sports clubs ie Leicester Falcons (American football), Leicester Dolly Rocket Rollers (Roller Derby) and Leicester Storm (Rugby League)
Please provide more information about your decision.

Hello Y,
You've deleted the page Cairokee on basis that it is unknown or something like that. Well, it is the most popular band in Egypt, having over 350k fans on Facebook.
It was deleted long ago on September, 23rd 2006, as it was unknown at that time.
Well, I've seen many pages approved about bands or people nobody has ever heard about, but a very popular band article shouldn't be deleted.
Thanks.

This is regarding Lachit Borphukan article that I "WAS" trying to translate in Indian languages.[Which you deleted.] I am trying to provide same English article in regional language by translation for the millions of Indians who still cannot read English articles on Wiki.

Hello, I am wondering why you have deleted the Don Chaffin page, we carefully followed all of the Wikipedia rules and cited correctly...

Hello Y,
I am not certain why you deleted the RGB Networks page. First, the page was still in the process of being created, but I believe we showed why the company is significant to the industry by showing a number of industry firsts and 3rd party recognition. We tried to make the language factual and not marketing-speak. We even linked to the pages posted by RGB competitors (which have far more gratuitous "advertising" language than the RGB page had). I do not believe this page warranted deletion and I would like to work with Wikipedia to fix any errors or content violations and get the page restored.

After deleting this via PROD I've undeleted it upon request. Just letting you know in case you'd like to take it to WP:AFD. Mark Arsten ( talk) 22:53, 11 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi. :) I don't believe that this article should have been deleted as WP:CSD#G11. Among other content, it included the following:
In 2011, Dhedhi came under investigation when the Policy Board of the Securities and Exchange Commission of Pakistan (SECP) launched an evaluation of suspicious trading patterns of gas utilities companies SSGCL and SNGPL. [14] [15] In January 2014 as part of the investigation Dhedhi was along with other suspects placed on the "Exit Control List" for Pakistan denying him permission to leave the country. [16] Later that month, the Sindh High Court instructed the National Accountability Bureau not to tamper with Dhedhi's records after Dhedhi filed complaint that no evidence had been presented against him in spite of two years of investigation and that his name was not mentioned in its report. [17]
(There should be no attribution issues with my pulling this from the deleted version, as I believe I wrote it all myself.)
Clearly, content like this isn't promotional, so I do not believe that the G11 criteria (Pages that are exclusively promotional) is satisfied, although I'm sure that cleanup would have been very appropriate.
I am working with COI and copyright issues with an editor involved in this and related articles and it would be very helpful to have the history restored so that I can more repair what he has subsequently placed there. Would you mind restoring the content? -- Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:41, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'd like to point out that none of the previous complaints about deleting Wright Business were by me, the initial creator. In my view the original page was not "predatory." It included details from the company's website as well as more controversial elements from various sources. I would say on the whole it was as balanced a resource on the company that was available until it was deleted. It was suggested to me on my undeletion request ( /info/en/?search=Wikipedia:Requests_for_undeletion#Wright_Business.2C_Inc.) that I contact you directly. I'd be happy to ensure the page has proper secondary sources and substantial, balanced information if it's userfied as suggested. J TerMaat ( talk) 20:21, 26 February 2014 (UTC)

Hello,
I'd like to understand why the RGB Networks page ( /info/en/?search=RGB_Networks) was removed. You said it was removed for "unambiguous advertising or promotion," and I'd like to dispute that. This is a company that is a very important player in broadcast technology. All information on that page, with the exception of the investors and locations of offices, had specific citations from major industry or business news publications; it referred to the Wikipedia pages on relevant technologies; it referred to the Wikipedia pages of competitors (or in one instance when the competitor did not have a page, it referred to the competitor's website directly). The tone of the copy was very non-promotional, and particularly in contrast to each of the competitors to which this page linked. If this page does not conform, then those pages should be removed as well, though that is not what we're requesting. I would ask you to please cite for us the specific text in which you believe this page does not conform to Wikipedia policies so that we can amend that text and bring it into compliance. It is patently unfair to exclude one player -- the one with the biggest market share -- in an industry, but allow all its competitors to have pages. I hope you will help us in fixing problems so that we can bring our page into compliance.
Thank you for your assistance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jsidline ( talk • contribs) 16:30, 25 March 2014 (UTC)
Hello there,
I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.
First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.
On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.
The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.
There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!
All the best,
James Hare

Why was this page deleted? It was a factual page, based on the actual events and truth of John Marsden, born 1950. Who is a well Respected mottram cricketer and has been for any decades. The deletion of this page seems strange and I wish it to be re-considered as there are many parties who have expressed a strict desire to contribute to the page with more facts and further detail about johns earlier life. The compilation of stats is even being under taken. This is a very formal page that John is contributing to himself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hmjmoore ( talk • contribs) 18:55, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
Thank you for your help with the Continental Bank of Canada articles. Although, I think there is a bit of a confusion with which articles should be deleted. There are two banks under the Continental name: one was established in 1980 and is now defunct, and the other was just established. In the past the Continental Bank article attempted to cover both of them. My intent was to move old bank's content into the Continental Bank of Canada (1980) and bring the new bank content into the old shell. The new bank's article ( Continental Bank of Canada (CBoC)) was admittedly fluffy and it was my intent to cut it down to a stub. I was trying to move the new bank's article to the space left after old's move. That's where request for deletion came in. I think deleting the new bank's article was a bit too aggressive.
Ultimately, I think I can work with what we have now. What I will do is re-create Continental Bank of Canada (1980) article without moving, and keep a stub article for the new bank in the remaining space. Does this make sense?-- Truther2012 ( talk) 16:48, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
Hello Y, It seems to me the subject of the article is actively involved in writing and editing the article and has turned it into a personal résumé. Even the Wikipedia's automated service has picked up on that, "Grig8wan9rat7ok4 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic". When I removed the second paragraph of the main article (on Behrouz "Brian" Vala Nahed) for being laughably promotional, it was quickly reverted. Even on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Brian Vala Nahed's page, the user "Grig8wan9rat7ok4" removed/edited the comments that he did not like, so I clicked on "View history" in order to undo his edits, but was unable to do so, as it asked for it to be done "manually". The consensus seems to be that the article should be deleted for good. As an administrator, you have the authority to remove it. Thank you for your assistance.

Hi, Regarding the articles on Beau Biden and Hunter Biden, I realize that their mother, as the US Second Lady, does not mean that they are second ladies, however neither are either of them Joe Biden. While Joe Biden is a related article to both of his sons, so is Jill Biden a related article to both of her sons. Is there not a way to reflect that? I'm just curious. It would be nice to reflect that Jill Biden, as a US Second Lady, is included in her sons' profiles, such as with a footer for her at the bottom of their pages. I tried to see if I could do that in both articles, however there is no footer category that has been set up for something like that. How can that be accomplished as I'm interested in having that be reflected on the sons' pages. Thanks, Daniellagreen ( talk) 17:12, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
Can I ask a proper reason for such sudden deletion of my first article Papia Ghoshal. It is about very interesting living person, Indian artist, who had got very important award in Asia and abroad. I really feel, it is very improper to delete article without really proper notice about such important person, whose works and name i believe can take one day important part in history. However I request you for restoring anyhow my article for my future works on it, that i can make it from very neutral point of view instead of fan point of view, which I believe I did so, but I can do my best maybe with your or help of wikipedia. I have spent a lot of time on this article and it made me really sad as you must understand how this time can be precious.
Please check article again and restore it or send to my sandbox for my future works and proper improvement which article deserve instead of quick deletion. I accept some of my mistakes in editing article and I understand why it was taken as violation and disruptive editing, however it was not the purpose of article to advertise or promote artist. I truly believe article is about living person, who should modestly take place in wikipedia and be part of art history.

Hi Y,
Thanks for responding but I didn't understand why should I have any conflict of interest? Any wiki editor does this editing from sheer passion & not due to any duty, I'd guess. So naturally he creates articles of any subject that he has special interest of and has nothing to do with promotion. This living person is quite successful for making wikipedia suddenly the tool for promotion. I thought wikipedia supports & encourages such voluntary editors who are keen on passionate contributions about subjects they would love as well. Yes, I created this article for further information about this personality. Art business functions quite another way, if you may know. The article is about a living person who's quite well known & there are several references everywhere in the internet surf engines if you kindly observe & understand. So I'd respect you & Wikipedia if you have a neutral point of view regarding this article. I believe what actually should matter is if articles about living person are based on facts or manipulated for promotional use. In case of my article I'm ready to prove all details through proper references & citations. I'm quite new in this as you may have understood/ So I would appreciate your help & guidance in doing so, if you restore my article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pavel Kassai ( talk • contribs) 20:58, 4 August 2014 (UTC)

Dear Y,
As a contributor to Wikipedia myself, I'd like to thank you for the effort you put into editing and enriching Wikipedia. However, the purpose of this discussion is to discuss why you have deleted the page 'Helpling', which I added and edited several times. I believe the article has merit to Wikipedia, and as a source of information the general public, and should be restored.
I research and write about tech startups as I have an interest in them. They have become a major part of the global economy in recent years. Sure, not every business is relevant enough to have a Wikipedia entry. If they did, Wikipedia's value as a source of knowledge would be diluted - I readily acknowledge this.
However, the article 'Helpling' contained quite a number of references from large, respected and authoritative media sources such as Reuters, Times of India and the Financial Times. If the subject warrants discussion in these important publications, does the general public not also deserve to learn about it here?
It is ironic that similar companies to Helpling - such as foodpanda, Easy Taxi and even Homejoy (a direct competitor) - have Wikipedia entries which essentially list the company's history, product functionality and other information just as the 'Helpling' article does also. This is contradictory to the very reason the article was deleted. Shouldn't all of these articles be deleted, then? Of course not.
In summary, I believe the article 'Helpling' warrants restoration on Wikipedia to give other contributors a chance to build on it and for readers, students or technology industry watchers to have a chance to learn what the company does and why it's important. The increasing amount of media coverage, as well as growth of the business, will add more weight to this argument as time goes on, no doubt.
I look forward to hearing back from you on this and to discover your thoughts on the relevance and potential restoration of 'Helpling' on Wikipedia.
Kind regards,

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Dear Y,
I am writing you regarding the page created for YPARD. I would like to ask you why you deleted it and how it would be possible to create it again without any issue. Before deleting it, I was working with the help of another Wikipedia user to add the missing third party sources but when I was about to add them to the page I just figured out that it didn´t exist anymore.
Could you please help me out on this issue?
Thank you very much in advance!

Hi,
I created an article of our meta search engine www.emlsearch.com and it was deleted, I have the following concerns
Following were the contents of the article
Eml Search is a meta search engine, designed to give results from there top search engine side by side. The search engine gives web and image results. Eml Search is designed on API(s) provided by these three search engines, the API(s) are jason based and brings results from their respective search engines which is then displayed unedited . The unique feature of emlsearch.com is it allows the users to send in the search results to his email address along with the search keywords and timing of search, for future reference.
The site is a personal owned property with managed services to software house.The site was on-Air on 01/11/2014. The site actual code was written in ASP DOT NET Currently the financial conditions of www.emlsearch.com are undisclosed.
What can we write other than that, in future we can further make changes to the article.

OK. I have to make something clear. I am not a newcomer. I have edited Wikipedia for a decade or so. But let's nevertheless apply the principle of "don't bite newcomers". Just imagine how a person that has no background in Wikipedia editing would react, if you would go and delete an article while it was being edited to add independent sources. It shows profound laziness and carelessness to ignore the contested deletion message and to not take a second to research what the article contains, how there is a corresponding Finnish Wikipedia article, and how its notability is established by any single fact about it. You're assuming bad faith, and I think is an obvious abuse of the deletion process. I get it if earlier there was a company edit. That does not excuse your behavior. -- vuo ( talk) 16:06, 10 December 2014 (UTC)

Dear Sir, I write to you in utter shock and anger. The page you have deleted is by no means a "Blatant Hoax". In fact, it is quite the opposite. I, as the leader of this nation, urge you to either restore the page, or explain to me exactly what made the page a "hoax" or "vandalist". I respect that you are an editor, however I feel disrespected, again as the leader of Briansistan, that you would call my land a hoax. Thank you. - Megastringcheese ( talk) 03:53, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
I am outraged that you think I am playing a game. This is a serious claim. According to the Montevideo Convention of the Rights and Duties of States, article 3 clearly states that; "The political existence of the state is independent of recognition by the other states. Even before recognition the state has the right to defend its integrity and independence, to provide for its conservation and prosperity, and consequently to organize itself as it sees fit, to legislate upon its interests, administer its services, and to define the jurisdiction and competence of its courts.
The exercise of these rights has no other limitation than the exercise of the rights of other states according to international law." This being said. Briansistan is, infact a nation. So I would again like to request that the page be republished OR explain to me just how Briansistan is a hoax. Thank you - Megastringcheese ( talk) 04:11, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

Instead of moving the original page, someone duplicated it (that's why I requested for a speedy deletion and did not redirect that page), which means I can't move it now.

Hi Y, Yes, sorry to make the notice of the broken code so public, but I didn't know how else to do it.
Regarding the JLL deletion of all those service descriptions - I spent a while taking all the cr*p out of them (or so I thought) so they would be useful for anyone to understand what the company does. It took a wee while! Which bits did you have a problem with? I don't want to spend forever on this but I also believe something's needed there - say if students wanted to understand more..
Another thing: "Jones Lang Lasalle" doesn't exist any more: it's just JLL. So how do you change the name of the page, or do you have to cut and paste it into a new page? And another thing: that category, as well as having the wrong name, is so out of date to be completely misleading. I really don't think we should leave it there, and certainly not link to it... Is there another solution?
Thanks for your help. EphraimL ( talk) 09:21, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
Hi Y, I am a former contractor so I do know about the company. The press release regarding the shorter name is here: http://www.jll.com/news/229/jones-lang-lasalle-shortens-name-to-jll . As its says, "Jones Lang LaSalle Incorporated" is only for use in legal documents now. I suppose I can add that to the article text. Regarding your deletion of the service descriptions and now the links to the regional websites, I'm not sure this is fair to the company and would be misleading to anyone trying to understand it. There are fundamental differences between each service and between the regions - they are like different companies, with 5k+ employees each - each of which is different enough to warrant its own Wikipedia page (don't worry - I'm not suggesting...!). I think we should reinstate the service descriptions at least. The biggest differences lie there... EphraimL ( talk) 11:14, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

An article that I created was deleted and I was looking for the reasons. I'm still not sure whether I could understand every terms, but I think I could have little knowledge more than I had before. The article with the same title Dinura Pradeep Balasooriya was deleted twice. I think it happened most probably because of incorrect citation and inappropriate categorizing. I want to rewrite the same article with more accurately this time. So, I started an experiment in my sand box. Please help me to develop it if you don't mind. Thank you.

I created the article for Jef Huysmans a few months back and if I recall correctly he was a professor. Since I believe he had many published articles then he probably met the Wikipedia:Notability (academics) criteria and doesn't need to have the page removed.

Hi, Y. The page that I created on country music artist Sam Outlaw has been deleted by you. I contested before it was deleted and hope you will reconsider. I would like to make a case that the entry is significant, as Outlaw's new album is produced by Ry Cooder (please look at his page). His achievements as a producer and film scorer are significant. Sam has already received recognition in music media, as well. Please let me know what else I can do. Thank you. Fullydressed ( talk) 19:28, 6 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Y. WP:MUSICBIO States that Sam may be notable if he meets "at least one of the ... criteria," the first being "the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, etc." As I noted on the page, Sam has been written about on CMTedge, the online source for country and Americana published by CMT, the nationally broadcast Country Music Television, where the video from his first record premiered. He was also been written about by The Bluegrass Situation, the nationally recognized source for bluegrass and country music started by actor and bluegrass musician Ed Helms. Additionally, today he was written about by Paste Magazine Paste Magazine, one of the most significant music and culture magazines in the United States. So I believe he meets criteria one. While he has not won or place in a major music competition, he has been selected to be a part of the highly esteemed Stagecoach Festival and Americana Music Association Festival and Conference. I also believe, as I mentioned above and on the page, that having Grammy Award winning Ry Cooder produce his record is significant. Thank you. Please let me know what other information I can provide. Fullydressed ( talk) 05:16, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
I have responded to your note in "JLL deletion, and more" above. Please look. JLL is definitely not Jones Lang Lasalle any more; just see any of its websites. EphraimL ( talk) 14:48, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi, Y. Just following EphraimL's lead above and checking in on my response above to your question above about how Sam Outlaw meets requirements for WP:MUSICBIO. Thanks! Fullydressed ( talk) 22:14, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Could you let me know why the page was considered blatant advertising? The original version might have contained some issues that could be considered promotional, but the most recent (and heavily edited) version was entirely factual. Indeed the only 'promotional' content that I could discern related to membership, which I would consider justification for notability. As a new editor an author of articles I would very much appreciate your view on what can and cannot be mentioned and where this article overstepped the mark.

Why you deleted Skyvia wikipage? Please restore it and I'll tell you why.
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it describes ways of how to integrate, backup, access, and manage your cloud data. Also there are descriptions of how to integrate your data with Salesforce, Dynamics CRM and other datasources like SQL Server. This article shows a new way (new technology) of how to work with popular cloud CRMs. This article will be useful for many people who uses Cloud in their work and want to know how to integrate their data with other data providers. This article is similar to SalesForce wikipedia article or Dynamics CRM. Those articles are available in Wikipedia, why Skyvia shouldn't be here? It is the same technology but with another architecture. People would love to know something new about Cloud with Skyvia. SuperCookyMan ( talk) 07:51, 11 February 2015 (UTC)
