Tenmei's page

Although he removed some of the more outrageous statements, I identified it as an attack page because the first text on the top was <<redacted BLP user >> See the contrast between the newest and latest versions. Cheers.Teeninvestor (talk) 01:24, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Tenmei's attack page

Hi, Dlohcierekim. If you see his first diff which was just changed again, you may understand why Teeninvestor thinks it is an attack page and why he notified me of it. And I'm not involved in the ArbCom case, so his attack page that hold his long term obsession with me can not be his evidence for his Tang Dynasty case. Thanks.--Caspian blue 01:37, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Since any behaviors of involved editors regarding the ongoing ArbCom case should be dealt within by the Committee, I notified his behaviors to here. I can not say that I'm a good talker in communicating all editors. However, Tenmei has been wikistalking and harassing me over 7 months, so I think Tenmei's intention to report his own case to the ANI page is nothing but just to harass me and to generate a drama. He has done it before. He has also forum shopped several admins just purely to harass me right before filing it. So I think wrapping the ANI is a better solution since the case should be dealt by the ArbCom committee.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration#Tenmei's ongoing harassment on and off ArbCom

I don't think the page needs to be deleted because it is an evidence to show Tenmei's long harassment and incivility. Thanks.--Caspian blue 01:52, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent perspective. I've asked him to request deletion. Like you say. If he needs to keep it, what can I say? This is too weird. Sorry you have to put up with this. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 01:56, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the kind words. However, Tenmei does seem to cease his gaming a system by throwing more inappropriate comments like his edit summary. Though he blanked out the page, he now moves it to the ANI. In that case, a short break for him is a good remedy? --Caspian blue 02:27, 3 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: America's Suitehearts

IMO, it's not speedy-able. It provides substantive context of why it should be included, as opposed to the deleted edition of it, which was merely someone saying "it's a good EP by Fall Out Boy." Feel free to XfD it if you feel it doesn't meet the guidelines for inclusion, but I'm just gonna let it be. If you have any questions, please contact me at my talk page.

RfA Download

Mike, I am trying to research Download and have a couple of questions: It appears that he used to be Cool piplup and ElectricRush, please confirm(no problems here, I want to make sure I am reading the Diffs correctly). The nomination states states that he has written and contributed to several articles, including a GA, Linkin Park. Of the 3 user names I can only find diffs for 'Download' at Linkin Park; a couple of reverts and a small edit. Am I missing something? Please note that I not looking to prove/disprove anything, I am just trying to determine if I might be missing edits when researching the logs. --Preceding unsigned comment 21:20, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

OK got that part, I see that the diffs show 'Download' and the sigs have his username at that point in time. I understand that part now. What about the Linkin Park article. I only find a few diffs noted above. I would expect to see one of the 3 names with heavy editing. Am I missing something or is the name of the article in error? Thanks in advance for any help you might have. --Preceding unsigned comment 23:48, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

RFA comment

I didn't want to clutter Wikipedia:Requests for adminship/JamieS93 2 with lots of threaded conversation, but I can tell you why some people are leery of kids. There's a huge history of kids causing all kinds of drama, all over the wiki. This is not speculative or made-up, it's actually real and happens all the time. Kids are, on average, way more rash and dramatic than adults. Rash and dramatic behavior here is a huge time-sink. I need to have confidence in a candidate's judgment in order to support, and one thing kids usually tend to lack is reasonable judgement. Friday (talk) 22:31, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion . . . User:Dlohcierekim

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

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 the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Well, trying to G11(Or even replace A7) because an A7 falls outside the guideline does sometimes work if you have the luck a regular CSD admin handles it, provided it is an obvious WP:SNOW article. Still it would not really fall in the G11 category so i would just let it run trough AFD.

As for prodding the article: PROD's can be removed at any time without breaking any rules. Seeing that, combined with my amount of edits in a week, i would have to be backtracing every prod i make a week after a placed it to see what happened to it. Normally no problem, but since this is a recreated spam article without the spam it is likely to be opposed - hence the AFD. With some luck it receives a speedy close though :).

Oh...and on a related note, the whole "taunting" thing...

I work in an area where we razz each other all the time. Pointing out someone else's mistake in a humorous manner sometimes helps to ease the tension and correct the problem much quicker. As an example, I did my first live weapons drop yesterday. Considering we dropped the unguided weapons from about 2 miles up, a strike 38 feet from the target with a 500 lb-class weapon is exceptionally good. The practice mission prior to the live drop, we "missed" the target (our base) by 2000 feet (no actual weapons dropped). After being appropriately chastised for his mistake, we tried to lighten the mood: "Well, at least that'll teach those guys not to park so close to our building and leave a few good spaces for us fliers..." A few smiles and good natured jabs later, we were back in "the game" and, as you can tell, things went exceptionally well our next mission.

I guess my point is that it was intended to elicit a "Yeah...<chuckle>...I guess so..." kind of response and re-engage the user with Wikipedians, hopefully for the better. I see how it certainly could have been taken another way, though, and will refrain from such comments in the future. — BQZip01 — ^talk 16:17, 15 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Did you bother to read my replies to that lie?

If you had bothered to read anything I've said in any of those AfDs, instead of falling for Richard Arthur Norton's lies, you would have seen that it got nominated at the same time as all those first season episodes, that it's the only one from season 2 I've nominated, that it, along with the others, was nominated days ago, and after that one, I went back to earlier season one episodes. As I said on a few AfD articles, I went one too far, using the 'next episode links. I didn't withdraw it because a non-notable episode is a non-notable episode, no matter which season, but I said that I wasn't going forward, but trying to get season one addressed first. I clarified this numerous times, but it seems you, an admin, would rather fall for lies than look for yourself at the situation. ThuranX (talk) 14:52, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You went and cut n pasted identical votes at every AfD, which shows that you aren't even reading all the comments and arguments left by others. Instead, it seems clear that you're finding the comments of like-minded editors and believing whatever they wrote. That's doubly dangerous in the case of Richard Arthur Norton, who has spent the past few days making comments, receiving replies, then adjusting his initial comments to answer later replies pre-emptively, leaving the replies of others looking awkward, out of place, irrelevant, and frankly, ignorant and assholish. He was repeatedly cautioned to stop, but didn't. He was asked to stop lying about my actions regarding the ONE second season episode, but didn't. He's accused me of nominating articles I didn't even nominate and attacking me for those nominations. That an admin fell for it shows how poisoned those AfDs are. ThuranX (talk) 15:01, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Also, please !vote once, not twice as you have been doing at Germ Warfare. ThuranX (talk) 15:02, 17 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There has never been a successful mass AfD of tv episode articles, because the inclusionists and show fans immediately react with outrage. Accusations of bad faith immediately appear, along with accusation that the nominator never read all the articles. Instead I showed that I did, in fact, examine each article, even trying to clean up a few first, but ultimately, I realized they all suffer identical failures. So I nom'd each separately, which allowed me to pinpoint the flaws of each episode, which overlap each other ,but are not identical. I assure you, had I presented a mass AfD nom in which I generalized the flaws, it would've failed with arguments like 'this article doesn't have an overlong plot like you said, so Keep' and 'this article only has one trivia section, not two, so you lied - Keep.' I instead made every effort to show the flaws of each article independently, a process which wound up sserving Wikipedia better, because it allowed me to withdraw two nominations; you can't pull one episode out of a mass nomination without people insisting the AfD begin again because the content at issue has changed.

Orice Jenkins

I would like to say that 1. the information from Orice Jenkins and from Orice jenkins are clealy different although the same person. And there are more non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable like this one: http://blogs.courant.com/itowns_ec/2009/04/object-width380-height290param.html

2. Also a search of the name "orice jenkins" resulted in the first 10 hits pertaining to orice jenkins and scattered ones on other pages. These results don't just include the article already mentioned, but also a source from the biggest newspaper in New England. Orice (talk) 02:34, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, does not claim notability outside of a single mentioning in a local news story. According to the notibility guidelines for music, the subject "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician or ensemble itself and reliable." Also, the one source given is just from a local newspaper. The article has been deleted under a different title (With a capital J, not a lowercase) several times, too. A simple Google search yields nothing that establishes significant notability. In conclusion, the article does not establish notability through reliable sources, and therefore should be deleted. NnCv2 12:37, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

The previous paragraph is a comment you had made on the discussion of the deletion of this article[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Orice jenkins]. At the top, I presented information that proves and shows how the things you said weren't true. All I want is for you to vote against the deletion of my article. It clearly shows the significance of Orice Jenkins. Orice (talk) 18:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gentle Strength Quarterly

Hi, Dlohcierekim. I saw your comment — "Does the artlice (sic) not assert insignificance" — at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Gentle Strength Quarterly. I agree; the article failed to assert any notability. I removed the speedy and nominated it for AfD because A7 does not apply to periodicals. Is that the answer to your question, or am I misinterpreting what you meant? Cunard (talk) 07:43, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, unfortunately, CSD probably does not fit unless maybe under DB:CORP. (I'm proboably the only admin ever to change a speedy to a PROD and have someone speedy delete the article anyway. So I'm kinda strict in my interpretation of CSD.) Just asserting the utter deletability of the article while wistfully wishing that CSD did cover this sort of thing. <<sigh>> Cheers, and happy editing. Dloh cierekim 13:06, 22 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I too wish CSD could cover stuff like that, but then many articles about notable periodicals will be wrongly deleted. That's likely why A7 does not, and should not, apply to magazines, books, and journals. It must be fairly tough to refrain from hitting the delete button when you see such blatantly non-notable articles. That's why I'm content with not having the tools.

My RfA

Thank you for participating in my "RecFA", which passed with a final tally of 153/39/22. There were issues raised regarding my adminship that I intend to cogitate upon, but I am grateful for the very many supportive comments I received and for the efforts of certain editors (Ceoil, Noroton and Lar especially) in responding to some issues. I wish to note how humbled I was when I read Buster7's support comment, although a fair majority gave me great pleasure. I would also note those whose opposes or neutral were based in process concerns and who otherwise commented kindly in regard to my record.
I recognise that the process itself was unusual, and the format was generally considered questionable - and I accept that I was mistaken in my perception of how it would be received - but I am particularly grateful for those whose opposes and neutrals were based in perceptions of how I was not performing to the standards expected of an administrator. As much as the support I received, those comments are hopefully going to allow me to be a better contributor to the project. Thank you. Very much.

Please limit your use of exclamation points, due to the shortage. Cheers, and happy editing Dloh cierekim 01:41, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. I added the tag in the first place. I've been doing a lot of vandalism chasing tonight and it just looked like one of the many attack pages I've been tagging. If I'd have done a bit more checking I would have discovered what it was really referring to. Anyway, no harm done :) ɪntə svɛnsk 22:51, 13 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your time. I appreciate the review and hope to adjust soon. Thanks, T-95 (talk) 22:35, 14 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Deletion

Thank you for speedy deleting Beth Rhiannon Evans. Would it be possible to also get a block on the vandalism only account that repeatedly removed the speedy deletion notices and created the attack/vandalism page to begin with User:Ridefastgethigh? You've added a 'welcome' template to a user that made multiple sexual references to a 13 year old girl. PS He's recreated the article. ponyo (talk) 19:41, 15 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the note. I don't view removing speedy deletion templates as vandalism-- just not understanding that it's not our policy to do so. It was not an attack page and was not tagged as such. I gave him a {{{welcometest}}}, not a regular welcome. It is important for us to educate new users if we expect them to comply with our guidelines. Not understanding BLP is not prima facie evidence of vandalism-- in this case just lack of maturity. Recreating the article, which was not an attack page merited a next level warning. I see the warnings escalated at a faster rate than the inappropriate behavior. The new user has now been final warned. The second recreation was deleted as A7, not G10 or G3. The next time they create an inappropriate page, they may be blocked. No one gave them an ultimatum warning until they got two. While I understand your objections to the content added by this user, it would not be appropriate to block them until they have had time to digest the warnings. In my experience, they appear to be done-- the purpose of blocking is not punitive-- and you sound like you want them punished. The purpose of blocking is to prevent further damage. If they are done, then that goal is met. If not, we can still block them if they do anything else they should not. I go back and look at the contribs of problem page creators I've warned, so the likelihood of them causing more vandalism with impunity is nil. I doubt they'll come back at all. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 01:32, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the feedback. My concern was that the individual was using a real person's name (described as a young girl in the first series of edits) and I couldn't keep on top of the revisions in order to keep the information off the page. Regardless of whether it was a schoolboy prank (which, in my opinion it likely was), it can do real damage when someone (especially a minor) is specifically named and the information is allowed to stand. My intent in requesting a block was certainly not punitive, I simply could not keep up with the removal of the speedy deletion tags, the reposting of the information, and the recreation of the deleted article. The account was eventually blocked as a vandalism only account by Toddst1, so either that break gave them the opportunity to read over and digest the information provided on their talk page (in which case they could request an unblock to contribute positively), or they just moved on to the next youthful distraction. I'm all about assuming good faith and truly try to avoid drama or stepping on toes while editing in my corner of the wiki-world, but this was a pretty blatant case of disruption. Best, ponyo (talk) 14:24, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I saw the block, though I don't believe they edited past the final warnings. (Looks like last edit was 20 minutes before the last warning.) The times don't add up correctly. Some of the edits were page blankings. They only created the page twice. One was about a fire fighter that likes to grow vegetables. None of the serious BLP concerns were in the second version, though the butternut squash edit got me. Looking again, the block occurred without any more edits after your second deletion notice and none after final warning. The last edit was a page blanking, which is tantamount to a request for deletion. At any rate, while I would have given them that final chance to do something constructive, I don't see any big loss from blocking them. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 15:11, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You are obviously a much more patient soul than myself, which is why you have been entrusted with the shiny extra buttons :) Cheers, ponyo (talk) 15:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. It's patience born of confidence. Once I understood that such editors retained editing privileges at my pleasure, I realized I could afford a certain amount of patience. Unfortunately, some admins are seen as less interested in Noblesse oblige than Lèse majesté. Cheers, Dlohcierekim (talk) 17:36, 16 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Being an agronomist, here in Brazil, I found wikipedia weak about zebu races.I decided to write and enlarge articles about zebu races.Agre22 (talk) 03:11, 17 June 2009 (UTC)sgre22[reply]

Sounds good. You may need to go into greater depth at each point as the average reader may lack information you take for granted. Cheers, Dlohcierekim (talk) 03:13, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion review for Arthur Kade

An editor has asked for a deletion review of Arthur Kade. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 21:04, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well as the defamatory content has been removed and the article restored by the last admin to delete, I guess it's OK. Not so sure of the notability, but not currently a CSD candidate. Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:47, 17 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking 114.229.3x.xxx

You just blocked anon IP 114.229.36.245 and I heartily thank you. This person who adds links to www.cmpter.com will most likely emerge once more with a different 114.229 IP address. We've already seen near-identical spamming action by these users:

My pleasure. We need maybe a range block. The site needs to be added to the Blacklist. I don't know how to do those things, but we can find someone who does. Cheers, Dlohcierekim (talk) 01:21, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Special:Contributions/212.124.173.165

Unfortunately this was a case of another mass attack by a Serbian nationalist removing data on Kosovo. Some of them seem to think that removing any mention of Kosovo from articles solves political problems on the ground. A couple of the edits also changed links for entry requirements to Serbia into links to the Serbian MFA, which has no real benefit over the link to timatic. I certainly wouldn't have reverted those if that had been the only edit, but as they were invaribly coupled with removal of Kosovo content I have also reverted those as well instead of painstakinly re-inserting Kosovo info by hand. Passportguy (talk) 11:39, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Btw : The same user continued to edit under a different IP address (Special:Contributions/212.124.170.23) after you blocked him. Passportguy (talk) 11:41, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

page on Chandrajit Bajaj

Hello,

I'm getting warnings that I am in copyright violation on my entry and I don't understand why. There is absolutely nothing I have posted that violates copyright that I know of. I have been tasked with creating a Wikipedia entry for Dr. Bajaj and am merely trying to publish the material he sent me to publish.

This is my first entry to Wikipedia, which I'm sure is COPIOUSLY obvious to an expert like yourself.

I would like to add that Dr. Bajaj is extremely demanding; I am not looking forward to him coming in this afternoon and browbeating me for this task not being completed.

Sick to my stomach now, Suzbailey23 (talk)Suzanne Bailey

Oh boy. I ain't gonna say nothing to help your stomach. Firstly, it violates our policy WP:Copyvio to add verbatim text from any site that does not release to the public domain, GFDL, or Creative Commons. All material on Wikipedia must be releasable under the GFDL. That means if it is undercopyrighte anywhere else, it cannot be used here. You say you put the article up on orders from the subject? Wikipedia is not for advertising, and this is an obvious conflict of interest. Another thing is he cannot control or dictate content here. Wikipedia is an Encyclopedia, not a webhost or a place for him to put up free advertising. Below the edit summary box when you save the article is a statement that says it all-- Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted. Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. By saving, you agree to irrevocably release your contribution under the Creative Commons Attribution/Share-Alike License 3.0 and the GFDL. You agree to be credited, at minimum through a hyperlink or URL, when the page you are contributing to is reused in any form. See the Terms_of_Use for details. Below the box it says, "If you do not want your writing to be edited and redistributed at will, then do not submit it here. If you did not write this yourself, it must be available under terms consistent with the Terms of use, and you agree to follow any relevant licensing requirements." You need to follow those links. Dlohcierekim (talk) 18:26, 18 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the Chandrajit Bajaj entry with some references. I deleted the several "citation needed" links in the first section, as the references I added now cover them... and then I realized that perhaps I'm not authorized to delete them and the person who put them there is supposed to delete them? For that reason I have not deleted any other "citation needed" links in the article yet. Please let me know if I can remove them myself. I don't want to run into a vandalism issue again, even by accident.

Also, this entry is still flagged for having no references, and for plagiarism and vandalism; issues which I feel have been resolved and I'd like to see those flags removed if possible.

UPDATE: Ttonyb1 went in immediately, deleted all my references (and an additional section I had just added, that also included a reference) and then put all the citation needed tags back. What gives?

Many thanks again for your time and expertise, Suzbailey23 (talk) 19:40, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I still have not heard anything back from you or Ttonyb1 about why he continues to flag the page for lack of references. All of the information in the first three paragraphs of the article are MORE than adequately covered by the references I added. Please respond??? Suzbailey23 (talk) 21:46, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think you should ask TonyB, but it looks like there is information that is not sourced? Perhaps you could replace the cite needed tags with reference tags showing where you got the info? Also, the sources used seem to be his info pages at UT or Purdue. Those are not reliable third party sources unconnected with the subject. While it can be expected that they vetted the information, other sources would be better because of the direct connection with the subject. Are there sources of information about the subject that are not connected to him in some way? You might contact USER:DGG for help in sourcing this as he is an expert on articles about scholars.

الشيخ أبى عبد البارى

I think I agree with your A7 on الشيخ أبى عبد البارى. While I do not speak Arabic, I ran it through Google's translator feature and this is the result:

Sheikh Abu Abdul Bari Mohammed bin Mahmoud bin Abdel-Samad El-Shafei Aljberti Bargon was born in Somalia in the West 'Elderly' 1 - Sheikh Yusuf of Somalia Touh 2 - Sheikh Muhammad al-Amin Shanqeeti His students 1 - Mosque Sheikh Saeed bin Borai 2 - Sheikh Ahmed Bin Shafie Somali Sheikh graduated from the University of Medina and received a bachelor's degree in modern science and then received a degree in Islamic Studies Magistr modern section of the University of South Africa His 1 - say the prohibition on the precious from the vile act of the spouses 2 - Liberalization of the article in the dirt errors Somalia 3 - Tuhfat loved ones in the performance of food and drink 4 - solve the problem in the talks in the capital of children I Hmama facilitate the collection in this section

It doesn't seem to indicate the importance at all, just a short biography. I don't feel correct in restoring a speedy you removed, so I'll let you judge if you want to wait for a native translation, or put an A7 back on. Cheers 24.99.242.63 (talk) 14:33, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

<carried over reply after ec>Thanks for your note, but I've seen what machine translators can do to European languages. I can imagine the mangling that would occur with Arabic. I think it article should be translated by someone, a person, fluent in the language. Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:40, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough. If it does turn out to be a good article, then you have my apologies. 24.99.242.63 (talk) 14:40, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No apologies needed. Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:41, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dlohcierekim. I was the one who originally posted the CSD A7 tag on this article, after first tagging it with a "not english" (specifically, arabic) tag. I used the google translation and the article appeared to be a biography with no indication of the importance of the subject. I know the google translation is unreliable, but it did provide a reasonable indication as to what the article contained. That was when I tagged it with CSD A7. Then the user PnkGirl40 vandalised the page by changing the "not english" tag from "arabic" to "gibberish".--Just James ^T/C 14:51, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Know what you mean. Addressed the matter with Pnkgrl. Addressed the matter with the creator. (Why do people put other language articles here?) I don't trust translators enough to delete an article. Then there's the problem of addressing sourcing and notability over linguistic and cultural lines. Best to wait for someone who knows the language to look at it. It's listed for translation and will be deleted eventually anyway if it turns out to not be keepable. There is no need for hurry and no deadline. Cheers, Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:58, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough then. I hope Google's translators become more accurate and reliable.--Just James ^T/C 15:11, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

About article: Viva Swag

Hello Dlohcierekim, I was reading about Wikipedia's guidelines in Conflict of interest and I am still trying to find out what are the parts of the article which are controversial or not following these rules. I will be more than happy to fix them. Thank you

You mean aside form the obvious conflict of interest concerning your user ID? If you are a representative of the company, you have a conflict of interest. Also, I'm afraid that your username presents a bit of a problem-- see Wikipedia:Username_policy#Company.2Fgroup_names. I've held off on following through because I believe in discussion and education rather than heavy handedness. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 00:02, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Viva Swag

Thank you very much for the information. I will get further information on how to work this out. I appreciate your time and effort

No prob, though it might be better to not do such until you are more familiar with WP:CSD and with the various notability guidelines. It would have been a waste of effort to send the thing to WP:AFDas it would have been case of WP:SNOW, Dloh cierekim 19:57, 30 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
